In the Mural City, near the portrait of the Goddess with an inkstone, Pei Qian found the small shop that sold copies of the Goddess Tianguan Pictures. As all eight blessings had been lost, the business of the shop was really average, compared with the pressure of his own Qilong Lane.
The situation is similar to that of a 20-year-old shop.
The shopkeeper is a pretty young sister. I heard from the master that although she is not a Taoist from the Pima Sect, she and Pang Lanxi are a rare pair of gods and immortals.
Pei Qian was a little worried. Pang Lanxi was a swordsman on the mountain with good looks, but the girl at the foot of the mountain could only keep her appearance aging year after year. Even with some miraculous medicine, her hair would eventually turn gray one day.
What should she do? Even if the two of them stay together for a long time, Pang Yuanji doesn't mind, but she will still be secretly sad after all. Pei Qian scratched his head, why not remember this sister's face, and ask the old cook to make an identical one when he gets back?
?It’s just that Pei Qian is worried that he will do something unnecessary. Alas, it’s annoying, it’ll be better if the master is here.
Baogai, Ganoderma lucidum, Chunguan, Changqiao, the Goddess of Zhankan commonly known as the Immortal Staff. These five goddesses had already changed from painted murals to white paintings before Master came to this mural city last time. Master went to Ghost Ghost Valley
After that, the three goddesses, Hanging Inkstone, Xingyu, and Riding Deer, chose their respective masters. At that time, Pei Qian and Zhou Mili were very unhappy. What happened to the three goddesses? They couldn’t use their eyes well as they got older.
Huh? But for some reason, Pei Qian noticed that his master had a relieved expression at that time, and he was smiling quite happily.
Pei Qian comes here just to join in the fun. Unless she sells the pot, she will definitely not be able to afford the picture of the goddess here.
As for Li Huai, let's forget it. He was a complete pauper. He didn't even have a single fairy's coin. He only brought some scraps of silver and ate and drank with the helmsman.
It doesn't matter, Pei Qian plans to do some small business here. Before going down the mountain, he said hello to Wei Yusong, the God of Wealth of Pima Sect, in advance. Senior Wei promised her and Li Huai that if they can be a little Baozhai in Mural City,
You don’t need to pay money to Pima Sect.
Saying goodbye to the gentle and pleasant sister, Pei Qian took Li Huai to a crowded place and found an open space. Pei Qian took off the bamboo box, took out a piece of cotton that had been prepared long ago, and spread it on the
On the ground, he placed two yellow paper talismans on the cotton cloth, and then gave Li Huai a look. Li Huai immediately understood and understood that the opportunity to make amends came. The crisis of Pei Qian wearing small shoes was over. It was a good thing, so he immediately started.
He took out the celadon brush washer from the bamboo box and placed it on the cotton cloth first. Then he went to get the other three pieces. At that time, the two of them divided the account in half. In addition to the celadon brush washer, Li Huai also got an imitation of the sunset.
Small town paper in the style of a guqin, as well as a green-glazed green-glazed dragon-patterned bowl with dark engraved colors. Other pictures of a fox worshiping the moon, a study box containing a pair of three-color lions, and the square immortal holding the moon.
The drunken inkstone was given to Pei Qian. She said that she would give it away to others in the future. The inkstone was left to the master because the master was a scholar and liked to drink. As for the moon worship chart, just give millet grains and a study box.
Sister Nuanshu, she is our little housekeeper and accountant in Luopo Mountain. Sister Nuanshu is just in need of her.
As for the large pile of talisman papers and the red string, Pei Qian asked for a large number of talisman papers, while Li Huai obediently put away the red string, which Pei Qian despised, and he actually despised even more. A big man wanted this thing.
what.
Unexpectedly, Pei Qian glared at Li Huai and said angrily: "Are we stupid? Do we look like people from rich and noble families? Who would believe you if you take out so many treasures in one go? Stick one in your head."
Is this note definitely a fake? Two talismans and a celadon pen are enough!"
In the end, Pei Qian and Li Huai squatted behind the cotton stall. This newly opened small baguozhai actually only sold two things, two deceptive ghost-painted talismans and a celadon brush wash with a fairy riding on a chariot.
Pedestrians on the road mostly glanced at the talisman, then walked away.
Li Huai asked in a low voice: "Do you want me to help you shout a few times?"
"What's the rush? You don't do business like this."
Pei Qian squatted on the spot with his hands in his sleeves, and said with a sneer: "I do need help in the first place. Doing this kind of running business without setting up an account and just setting up a floating stall is actually similar to the virtues of selling medicine in the rivers and lakes, and the career is not as good as setting up a stall.
There is so much business in Zhang'an Mountain, but it's not a lot. If there are many of us, we can spread out the posts to gain popularity first. When there are more people, there must be people who pick up threads and make it clear. If we suspect that we are selling
If you are a fake, then ask and answer questions and speak more eloquently, you can quickly eliminate the doubts of the onlookers. And those who do the leading work, dress smartly, and talk like real rich people.
In the crowd, you have to deliberately stay away from others, and he threatens to buy them all... Forget it, there is no point in saying this, you are an idiot next to me, and if you really help, you will only be unhelpful. Next, you will watch from the sidelines.
That is, the only good thing about you is your accent. I will explain it to you carefully later."
Pei Qian paused for a moment, with a complicated look on his face, and said softly: "The most powerful kind is that one person can do all the work. That is the most capable person in the world. He will not starve to death wherever he goes, and he can still make a lot of money.
However, there are many rules and taboos for this kind of people in the world. For example, they will never earn that much money. For example, a person who was deceived originally had ten taels of silver in his pocket, but he will definitely leave one or two taels of silver for him in the end.
In addition to the rules of the elders, there are also hidden learnings. Once people are given a way out, the people who are deceived often don’t feel too hateful and can avoid making deadly enemies. However, there are very few such people, and I just listen to them.
He said he had never seen it before."
Li Huai sighed: "Pei Qian, you know so much about these secret backdoor businesses."
In Luolu Mountain, Pei Qian was not like this.
When he arrived in the arena, Pei Qian seemed to be at home like a fish in water. He knew all the rules and regulations.
Pei Qian was silent for a long time and said, "It's nothing. I liked to join in the fun when I was a kid. I've seen it before. Also, don't get me wrong. When I traveled around the world with Master, I didn't watch these things, let alone do them."
The small rivers and lakes in the capital city of Nanyuan back then could not survive just by taking advantage of weddings and funerals.
Later, when she followed the master, she began to have no worries about food and clothing. She could think about her next meal or even tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and what delicious food she could eat. Even if the master did not agree, after all, the master and apprentice would have money in their pockets, and
It's all clean money.
Pei Qian said to Li Huai: "Remember, these two talismans cost the price of a Xiaoshu coin. They are said to be the ancestral treasures of your sect and are the first-class offensive magic weapons! You
After the master passed away, he passed it on to you, the only one. Because you are in urgent need of some money, go to the Skeleton Beach Naiheguan Market to try your luck. Otherwise, you won't even buy it. Anyone who bargains with us, just ignore it. Just pay attention.
Shaking his head, he said he wouldn't sell it at most, but he really can't sell it. As for the celadon pen washer, not only would he sell it, but if he bought the talisman, it wouldn't be worth a piece of snow in the first place, so it can be given as a gift without any money."
Li Huai glanced at the two talismans and exclaimed: "The price of these two tattered talismans is one Xiaoshu coin? No fool will buy it, right? And this wash, we bought it for ten cents of snow."
of."
Pei Qian had been looking at the tourists around him and sneered: "You are worse than a fool. This is a mountain object that Xuhenfang offers for ten snow coins. Even if we are cheated, four or five snow coins will cost us.
There must be some. I deliberately said that a piece of snow is not worth the money. Why? Just to show that we are both taken advantage of. This money can be picked up by others. The key is that it can help two talismans. Unless it is a real expert
If you use your hand, you will be even more unsure of the quality of the talisman. When the time comes, there will definitely be people who deliberately dislike it and return. Then we will still not sell it. When the third time comes, I will start to persuade you, but you will hesitate.
Just mutter something, say I'm sorry to Master or something like that."
Li Huai said depressedly: "Why is it that my master passed away? But you can pretend to be my fellow countryman?"
Pei Qian angrily picked up the hiking pole and was so frightened that Li Huai rolled and ran away. When Li Huai carefully moved back to the original place and squatted down, Pei Qian was furious and said, "You're stupid, I really have a master."
, do you, Li Huai, have one?!"
"Furthermore, you still don't understand the elegant words of Luzhou in Beiju, so you just 'pretend' to be a local who left home since childhood. A person of such an age can take the Skull Beach cross-continental ferry.
Isn't it normal to have one or two treasures with you when you return to your hometown from Aquarius Island? You can support the business of dozens of snow coins, but you won't let the gods on the mountain seek wealth and kill you. If you really want to have it, don't be afraid, here
After all, this is the territory of the Pima Sect. If it’s those people from the Jianghu, if I can’t defeat them, let’s just run away.”
Half an hour passed, and Li Huai's legs and feet were sore from squatting that he had to sit on the ground. Pei Qian was still squatting on the spot with his hands in his sleeves, motionless.
Many tourists lose their minds as soon as they ask about the price. Some with a good temper will leave without saying a word, while some with a bad temper will curse and curse.
Li Huai felt that today's Baofengzhai business with Pei Qian was in suspense. He felt more and more guilty for a while. If he hadn't made a random purchase at Ferry Xuhenfang, Pei Qian wouldn't have had to work so hard.
Pei Qian said: "Wait another half hour, and if it doesn't work, hurry up. Master said that there is no good Baofuzhai in the world, and it is normal that it cannot be sold."
Another half an hour passed, and Li Huai could only silently chant in his heart that the gods, gods, bodhisattvas and saints of the Three Pure Ones will soon appear...
An old monk with a high crown and white clothes glanced at Baofengzhai. After walking out for a few steps, he stopped, came to the cotton cloth and squatted down. He was about to reach out to grab a yellow paper talisman. Pei Qian quickly bent down and stretched out his hand.
Standing on the talisman, he shook his head and said: "You can't touch it. You can only look at it. Seniors, you immortals on the mountain have very weird spells. You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. Senior, please forgive me."
The old man nodded with a smile, and casually picked up the celadon brush on the side with both hands. Pei Qian did not stop him this time, and shook off the rhetoric about Li Huai again. The old man listened to Pei Qian's words, absent-mindedly, and shook his head.
He washed the pen in his hand, then gently threw it on the cotton cloth, pointed at the two yellow paper talismans, and asked with a smile: "How much do they cost?"
The old man was accompanied by a pair of young men and women, both carrying swords on their backs. The most surprising thing was that there was a snow-white bead hanging from the golden sword tassel.
Pei Qian said: "A piece of Xiaoshu money can't be spent without a piece of snow. This is the fairy money that my friend's life is at stake. It is really indispensable. Buying the talisman and giving the pen away for free is like making a friend."
.”
Li Huai stood on the side with a sullen face.
When Pei Qian said these words, there were beads of sweat on her forehead. Is she pretending that she is not a charlatan and pretending to be a charlatan?
The old monk asked: "Can I sell fifty pieces of snow with money?"
Pei Qian asked: "Senior, no one like you does business like this. If I split the pen in half and sell you half, would you buy it?"
The old monk laughed dumbly.
The old man said: "A small summer coin? Okay, I bought it."
Pei Qian suddenly said: "I won't sell it."
The old monk raised his head and asked with a smile: "Why is this? Do you want to raise the price, or do you really not want to sell?"
Pei Qian said: "I really don't want to sell it."
The old monk smiled and said, "Is it because I am too generous and make you feel that you have lost money by selling the talisman?"
