Sure enough, as Yu Linglong expected, the next morning, Fang Mingzu, the leader of the Chang'an Gang, took Huang Shujun to visit in person to apologize, and stopped by to see his son.

He was much more generous than Diao Xiaosi, saying that it was a congratulatory gift for the opening of the dart game, but he gave a silver ticket of 3,000 taels. In private, he gave Diao Xiao four or six thousand taels, which was twice as much as that given to the Huitong Dart Bureau, naturally to thank him for raising his noble hand yesterday and spending two silver taels to level General Qu.

With such an entry and exit, Diao Xiaosi actually made a small profit.

However, there are joys and worries, for the opening celebration of the dart game on the eighth day of the first month of March, hundreds of invitations were sent out a few days ago, but most of them were closed. Either they say that they are physically violated, or they are unfortunate to go out, in short, there are very few applicants.

But this incident did not affect Diao Xiaosi's happy mood, he dragged Yi Bai around Chang'an City all day long, and left the matter explained by Princess Jincheng behind. Taking time, he went to Shengpingfang again to find Qu Tutong to drink, and easily divided two thousand taels, just to make money and make money together.

Qu Tutong was very emotional, and he drank a meal of wine until midnight, and left Diao Xiaosi to stay overnight at his house. In just a few days, the two became close friends.

At noon that day, Diao Xiaosi and Yi Bai returned to Liuyuan drunk, and when they opened the door, they saw Bu Operator sitting in the house.

He was stunned and said, "Apprentice, when did you come back?"

Bu Operator replied, "Just arrived." As he spoke, he pulled out a belt made of black gold silk from his cuffs and said, "Put it on." โ€

Diao Xiaosi took it in surprise and asked, "What is this?"

Bu Operator said: "I asked someone to refine a 'Dragon Belt' for you, which contains a virtual realm that can incorporate all the things on your body. โ€

Diao Xiaosi opened his eyes and smiled: "It's still an apprentice who understands me." I couldn't wait to put on the dragon belt, and according to the instructions of the divination operator, I put the jade plate, Taoist talismans, silver tickets, and so on hidden on my body.

Although Bu Operator was blind, he seemed to have seen it himself, and said hesitantly: "You have a way to make money, and those who come will not refuse." โ€

Diao Xiaosi sneered: "They are all friends, if I don't accept it, I'm afraid that people will blame me." โ€

Bu Operator said: "What are you talking about Fang Mingzu sending people to Liuyuan to make trouble, right? โ€

Diao Xiaosi said angrily: "What are you kidding, I am the master, and if you want to learn, you will follow Lao Tzu to learn." โ€

Bu Operator said coldly: "What about the princess of Jincheng?"

As soon as Diao Xiaosi heard the name of this girl, she immediately wilted like a frosted eggplant, and cursed: "In order to let me help her break the formation, this little girl fed Lao Tzu a sugar pill." Sooner or later, Lao Tzu will have to find a place to clean her up!"

Bu Operator asked, "What about the formation diagram?"

Diao Xiaosi rummaged under the bed for a long time, found the scroll and spread it on the table, and said, "The ghost knows where she got this thing from." I only gave Lao Tzu ten days of work, and now I ...... There are still two or three days to go. โ€

Bu Operator asked, "What benefits did she promise you?"

Diao Xiaosi said disapprerovingly: "It's just a six-grade Dao Breaking Talisman, is it called Huazi when Lao Tzu is a dirty rudder?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Bu Operator's lips and said, "The six-grade Dao Fu is not bad." But we don't have to take her Dao talisman, we want this girl to exchange it for refining materials. โ€

Diao Xiaosi's eyes lit up and said, "Apprentice, do you want to worry about being a teacher?"

Bu Operator said lightly: "I suspect that this is an exploded view of a mausoleum or an underground treasure. โ€

Diao Xiaosi blurted out when he heard this: "If this is the case, Lao Tzu is an expert." โ€

Bu Operator snorted and said, "Actually, you don't have to calculate all the formation changes at all, as long as you find the easiest and safest way to pass, you're done." โ€

Diao Xiaosi suddenly realized, patted Bu Operator's shoulder and said cautiously: "Apprentice, this matter will be handed over to you." โ€

Bu Operator Mu Ran said: "Yes, all the refining materials belong to me." โ€

"Don't even think about it," Diao Xiaosi grabbed the scroll and said, "The belt just now should be used as a bundle for this month." โ€

Bu Operator said: "In the past few days since I was away, have you ever refined talismans?"

Diao Xiaosi said disappreciatively: "General Yuwen for a while, Princess Jincheng for a while, Lao Tzu is busy to death, how can I have time to refine talismans, wait for some sky to come down." โ€

Bu Operator shook his head and said, "Can't stop." If you refine a few more, you can take them to the Chang'an Black Market for auction. โ€

"Auction? Does that fetch a high price?"

"Mine can, yours can't. โ€

"For what?"

"Runes. โ€

"Don't talk about runes, I'm better than you. โ€

"Refining talismans is refining the Dao. You don't have enough comprehension of the way of heaven, and the Dao talisman you have refined has no form, but there is no charm and spirit. This gap is like the comparison between the Lan Tingxu you wrote and Wang Youjun's, one day and one earth. โ€

"Do you want to say that Lao Tzu is in the sky and Wang Youjun is in the ground? I don't think the gap is that big. โ€

Rao is divination operator city government is introverted, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and said: "You haba, every time you deduce a formation, every time you refine a Dao talisman, it will make your Dao heart grow, until you comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth and reach the peak of the Great Dao." โ€

Diao Xiaosi said lazily: "You open your mouth and close your heart, as if you understand the reason, why don't you break your wrist with the thief? โ€

Bu Operator held back the fire and said: "Thousands of people and thousands of ways, their comprehensions are different, and their final attainments are also different. I entered the Tao with a formation, and I realized the heavens with a talisman, but I didn't have to compare with anyone. โ€

Diao Xiaosi pursed his lips and said, "You can't beat the thief, so you have to comfort yourself." But he didn't dare to sneer anymore, lest the old blind man's face suddenly burn with passion.

The next day, according to the method of divination, it only took him half a day to decipher the formation diagram on the scroll, but he waited until the expiration of the ten-day covenant before sending it to the palace.

After Princess Jincheng saw it, she said, "It seems that I underestimated your attainments in the art of Qimen Dunjia. โ€

Diao Xiaosi was not modest, and said with a smile: "Just this thing, Lao Tzu can do it with just two strokes." โ€

Princess Jincheng said: "In this way, I will give you ten days too lenient. This time it's just five days. โ€

Diao Xiaosi couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, can you add a few more days?"

Princess Jincheng also replied simply: "In seven days, I want to see the diagram." As he spoke, he pushed a six-rank Dao talisman and a scroll in front of Diao Xiaosi at the same time.

Diao Xiaosi glanced at the Dao Fu and said, "I want to take the refining materials directly." He put a list of the old blind man's own handwritten transcriptions on the table.

Princess Jincheng was stunned, picked up the pen and wrote the word "quasi" on the list, and used the monogram.

Diao Xiaosi smiled and said, "Doing business with His Highness is refreshing." But that baby that fell into my bellyโ€”"

Princess Jincheng said: "When the formation plan is complete, I will give you the antidote." โ€

Diao Xiaosi hated and said: "Little Niangpi still wants to fool me." Lao Tzu is a master of crossing the river and demolishing bridges, and if the formation map is cracked, Lao Tzu will not be far from death. โ€

But now he can only take one step at a time, take the list scroll and leave the study to change the refining materials and return to Willow Garden.

These days, the people in the dart bureau are getting busier and busier, and even Wan'er has disappeared all day long.

Xia Peiheng came to the door several times, hoping that he could take on the responsibility of the deputy general manager and work together with everyone to make the opening ceremony of the Chang'an Branch beautiful. Helplessly, Diao Xiaosi pretended to be deaf and dumb, and he didn't take the job at all.

He came back with a bunch of refining materials worth 10,000 taels, put them in front of the old blind man, and poured a sip of herbal tea.

Bu Operator said: "Try it, can you refine a six-grade Dao talisman that truly belongs to you." You don't have to think about the efficacy, and you don't have to worry about the refining materials consumed, as long as this Dao talisman belongs to you. โ€

Diao Xiaosi was stunned and said: "You don't have a fever, can it be that the Dao talisman made by Lao Tzu with his own refining materials will be someone else's? That's 10,000 taels in exchange, whoever dares to rob Lao Tzu with me will play with him!"

Bu Operator was silent for a moment, and said: "You refine a hundred Great Thunder Sword Talismans, and in the end, they are all other people's things. A painter can't be productive for a lifetime just by copying and imitating. Fu, you must have charm and courage!"

How do you know that Diao Xiaosi shook his head and said categorically: "It's good if it can be sold for money, everything else is fake." โ€

Bu Operator was silent for a longer time this time, and after a while, he spoke: "Do you know what Dao talisman is the most valuable?"

Diao Xiaosi replied without thinking: "Of course it's the Nine Rank Dao Talisman!"

Bu Operator said "hey" and said: "If everyone can refine it, then the Nine Rank Dao Talisman is not unusual. โ€

Diao Xiaosi was a little enlightened, and his interest increased greatly: "I understand, what is really valuable is the kind of Taoist talisman that is not sold on the market, this is called a strange thing to live in without me!"

Bu Operator taught according to his aptitude: "If you want to make a lot of money, you have to refine new talismans that are different from others. โ€

Diao Xiaosi nodded again and again, and his brain was running quickly.

In the days that followed, he locked himself in the house and kept sketching out the talisman array, thinking day and night about how to use the least amount of refining materials to refine the most profitable Dao talisman.

Diao Xiaosi didn't have much to do things, but a Qimen Dunjia Breaking Formation Talisman was originally interested, and more importantly, the money was infinitely bright. It's just that this light must be a golden light.

Another night, Diao Xiaosi couldn't stand the smell on his body, so he went to the water room to take a bath.

He immersed himself in a large wooden barrel and looked at the white water vapor rising, in a daze, until the bath water became cold and unconscious.

Suddenly, Wan'er knocked on the door outside: "Diao Xiaosi come out quickly, this girl has been waiting for half an hour!"

Diao Xiaosi woke up suddenly, looked at his body soaked in cold water, just like a certain exotic sage more than a thousand years ago, he had a flash of inspiration and suddenly had an epiphany, and he stood up and shouted excitedly: "It's done, Lao Tzu is going to send it-"
