Chapter 085 On the main city of Shanzhou
Later, I heard from my father that the sword-swallowing performance was just a sham, and that the secret was no longer on the person who swallowed the sword, but on the sword. Although the dagger looked extremely sharp and cold, it actually had no edge and could not hurt anyone;
Moreover, the sword is divided into three sections with built-in mechanisms. If the tip of the sword is slightly stressed, the sword body will retract into the rear sections. But at first glance, it looks like the sword has been eaten by someone.
A'Ju didn't believe it, so she met the troupe who performed the sword-swallowing performance again at a temple fair. She quietly stole the sword for the performance at night. Her father immediately took the sword and performed the "sword-swallowing magic". A'Ju saw it and knew
My wish to practice magic failed again. I was extremely frustrated and sent the "deceptive sword" back in frustration.
Later, in order to fulfill her dream of practicing cultivation, her father raised enough money and sent her to the Lanfeng Sect. He originally planned to let her study for a few years and gain some foundation.
Then he switched to other sects and became a young disciple. He didn't have to stand out in any way, as long as he had food to eat. But he didn't expect Aju to be diligent and progressive, and was appreciated by Hu Kaishan, so he stayed in the Lanfeng Sect until today.
Although the three of them knew the key to swallowing a sword, the onlookers obviously didn't. When they saw the dagger inserted into Zhu San'er's mouth, they all exclaimed in surprise.
Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Zhu Saner in horror.
Zhu San'er swallowed the dagger alive, but nothing happened. He slowly drew a circle with his left hand in the air, put it on his waist, raised his right hand, and the dagger came out of his mouth again.
The audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers. Zhu Saner returned the dagger to the girl behind him and smiled and thanked everyone.
The crowd applauded for a long time, and many of them gave me rewards.
Ah Ju had lived in a world for many years and was well aware of the difficulties faced by these buskers, so she also gave them a dozen copper coins. The three of them walked out of the circle and continued forward. When passing by a talisman shop, Guo Yufei suddenly stopped.
Shops specializing in selling talismans are not uncommon in Dahong. There are no less than a hundred in the nine major cities alone, and some have also opened in some relatively wealthy counties.
There are hundreds of monks in this world who make a living by writing talismans. There are many types of talismans, with more than ten thousand kinds, and they have different effects. Some can hurt people, some can save people; some are so powerful that they can kill people invisible; some also have dazzling effects.
, but it’s just a show, it can only fool those who don’t work...
The people who came to buy the talismans were a mixed bag and all kinds of people. Most of them were from the Hu sect, but there were also government servants, wealthy businessmen, and even ordinary people. The purpose of buying the talismans might be to hurt others, or to protect themselves.
But some are just for collection.
There are many people who like to collect talismans in this world, and they have formed a circle. Just like some people like to hide calligraphy and paintings, and some people like to tend flowers and plants.
Guo Yufei saw the word "talisman" on the shop sign and suddenly remembered the move he had already mastered, "Spell: Talisman - Rock Armor".
Since he started studying, he has never made one. At this time, he was carrying the fifty taels of silver that Hu Kaishan rewarded him last time. He just happened to go in to buy materials and make a few pictures, which would also be a good experience.
"Junior brother Guo? Do you want to buy a talisman?" Aju asked.
"Well... I want to buy some white urns and cinnabar." The white urn is the talisman that has not been filled with the spirit ring, and the cinnabar is the "ink" used to write the talisman.
"Do you want to make a talisman?" Ah Ju and Yan Ruojuan asked in unison.
"Yes, exactly."
"Can you still make talismans?" the two women asked again in unison.
"Yes, exactly."
"Is it that old gentleman again?"
"Yes, exactly."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Ah Ju looked envious, and was amazed. Yan Ruojuan was also surprised. She really didn't know how many skills that old gentleman had taught Guo Yufei.
Guo Yufei walked toward the shop, but he didn't see the two girls following him. He turned around and asked, "What? Not together?"
Aju said: "We don't know, what are we going to do? We just want to buy some things first." She turned and pointed towards a restaurant across the street, "Let's meet here later." She said, pulling Yan Ruo.
Juan then walked forward.
"What are you going to buy?"
"Don't ask blind questions about your daughter's things."
Guo Yufei was at a loss for words. He was stunned for a moment before saying to himself: "All the female disciples of the Lanfeng Sect are very tough."
As soon as I walked into the shop, a shop companion came up to greet me: "Young Master is here. You look familiar. Is this your first time here?"
"Well, it's my first time here."
"Then Young Master, you have chosen the right place. Our number is well-known, and our numbers are serialized all over the country. The talismans in the store are all written by famous people. Whatever kind of talismans you want, no matter what, I have them all."
Guo Yufei didn't know much about talismans, so he said casually: "What kind of talismans are there? Take them out and show them to me."
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly: "Young Master, this is ridiculous. There are thousands of talismans in the world. Although I don't dare to cover them all, there are more than 9,000 kinds of talismans hidden in total. If you want to see them all, you have to take a look."
You may not be able to watch it all at ten and a half."
"Uh...ahem...well, of course I know this. What I mean is to show me the best ones in your family."
The shop companion added, "I'm sorry for talking too much, sir. Is the talisman you want for self-defense, or for trial use?"
In fact, when he said "competition", he was talking in a veiled way. When doing business, one should be friendly, and he asked with a smile, "Are you going to kill someone?" That was really embarrassing.
"Well... I have two girls who will be traveling far away soon. The mountains are high and the roads are far away. I want to buy some talismans for self-defense."
"Haha, when you say that, I understand!" The shop assistant quickly ran to the counter, pulled out the drawer, and took out a yellow silk brocade box.
He opened it, handed it to Guo Yufei, and said proudly: "This palm is the world-famous 'Martial God Talisman', made by Yao Tiangang, a famous refining attribute master.
You buy two of them, put them on a red string, and make them into a blessing of peace for your sister. In times of crisis, as soon as you have an idea, a guard will come to rescue you, including twenty or thirty thieves."
"Oh? So powerful." Guo Yufei said and took the talisman. It felt soft and thick, showing that it was a high-quality paper talisman. It was difficult to tear, did not burn when exposed to fire, and did not get wet when exposed to water. There were decorative patterns outlined with gold paint around the paper talisman.
Very gorgeous.
Looking at the characters written on the paper talismans, they are really free and easy, like dragons and phoenixes dancing. Guo Yufei can only make "stone armor" talismans, but since they were given by the external palace, they are at the pinnacle level. Naturally, he is also very knowledgeable and knows these characters.
Very well written.
"This talisman is very good!" Guo Yufei couldn't help but admire it.
"That's natural, Master Yao is a monk in the Purple Gold Realm!" the shop companion said with a smile.
"The price..."
"Oh, I have always been a childlike person when doing business. One thousand, five hundred taels per piece. No counter-offering!"
Guo Yufei couldn't help but feel his heart clenching, and the muscles on his face twitched. He touched the fifty taels of silver in his pocket and felt pitiful.
The shop companion observed the words and immediately said: "If it is an ordinary journey and does not pass through poor mountains and rivers or remote and uninhabited places, there is no need to spend so much money. Hmm... How about you get two martial arts talismans painted by Master Yao's disciples?
