"No, right? Look for it carefully!"

"It should have fallen, so I hang it around my waist. Now you see that the thin linen rope with the purse has been cut."

While speaking, Chen Ziping looked annoyed and showed Xingyan the tether on his waist: the hemp rope was half left, hanging there, the stubble was smooth, and it seemed that it was cut off.

"By the way! I must have been secretly cut off by someone in that crowd just now when I was not paying attention!"

"unlucky!"

After hearing Chen Ziping's words, Xingyan complained secretly.

Because, the money they paid to Luofu Mountain this time was all on Chen Ziping. Because they were the first to Luofu Mountain, Xingyan carried a lot of things with him. Although the nameless sword was thrown in the inn room, he would not be stolen. However, these jade flutes, music scores, talismans and scriptures were all Xingyan's treasures, and they were all carried with them. Therefore, if they were put in the heavy wallet, they would look a little wolf. Therefore, the two agreed that the silver would be placed on Chen Ziping.

However, this brother Chen Ziping, obviously did not often walk in the market like Xingyan. If this young man Xingyan had changed, he would have stood up naturally and protected the valuables he carried with others in the bustling crowd.

"Oh, it must have been sneaked by some thief."

Xingyan sighed. Looking at the men and women wearing silver jewelry all over the street, they thought that the money that had just been stolen was not sold, even if they didn't spend it, they would not have to worry about the lack of sales.

"Brother Zhang, it's all my fault for being careless!"

Chen Ziping looked depressed and apologized.

"It's nothing. Money is something outside of your body; this person who is not familiar with the place will inevitably be taken advantage of by some sluts."

However, having said that, both of them have lost interest in drinking tea now - and not least, they are empty and have no money to drink tea.

Now, a very realistic problem is placed in front of Xingyan and the others: how should we solve the money for the inn and the future travel expenses we live in!

According to Chen Ziping, even if you ride a donkey, it will take five or six days to reach Luofu Mountain. If you sell your foot strength due to shortage of money, it will probably take more than half a month to arrive. However, as the saying goes, "A penny can stump the heroes", this principle has always been the same since ancient times. If you are as innocent as you are now and go to the Shangqing Palace of Luofu Mountain, Xingyan and the other two will be almost like two down-and-out beggars.

"Don't worry, there should be a solution."

Seeing Chen Ziping's self-blame and anxious expression, Xingyan couldn't help but comfort him. Unlike Chen Ziping, Zhang Xingyan has been hanging around in this market since childhood, and is not so anxious. The boy thought that as long as he was willing to endure hardships, there were still many ways to make money in this market.

"How many days will I go and find a winery and teahouse to help?"

Xingyan first remembered his old career.

"It's not right, it's not only a long time to go around, but also won't make much money."

After thinking about it for a while, the young man himself denied this idea.

"By the way!"

Xingyan suddenly remembered the jade flute that was not on his waist. Now, the jade flute "Shenxue" is covered with a layer of cloth cover that is not very eye-catching to prevent the evil people from seeing the flute on the road. This flute cover is the handwriting of the dragon girl Ling Yier, but it is not very sewn, with crooked stitches and tight. However, even if this set is ten times ugly, Xingyan will never dare to laugh at the girl's whim work.

"Brother Zhang has thought of a solution?"

Seeing that Xingyan seemed to have some enlightenment, Chen Ziping couldn't help but feel refreshed.

"Well. Do you think this is true - I'm carrying a flute on my body, and I'm used to playing a few songs; how about we just like the man who was playing sticks on the street just now and go to find an open space on the street to perform?"

"Uh... I'm afraid this will be detrimental to our Shangqing Palace? No matter how you say it, I am the leader of the "Sihai Hall" of the Puritan Church!"

"Hey~Who knows this now! As for this issue of face----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"That's right."

"By the way, this method is probably still inappropriate."

Chen Ziping seemed to suddenly think of something, found a reason, poured a bucket of cold water on Xingyan.

"I have come to Luoyang with my senior brother to buy bamboo paper, and I am familiar with the customs and culture here. The residents here, regardless of Han and Yi, can sing and dance. Almost everyone will use this local bamboo flute and gourd flute to play more than a dozen songs - I'm afraid Brother Dao's way of selling his skills..."

"Oh! That's right, I guess it's just a show of my skills; I'd better find another way."

So the two of them were at a loss when facing the clear river water beside the bridge. It was exactly:

The golden head of the rod is gone, and the hero has no color!

"Oh, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been so fascinated by the moment, I wouldn't have..."

"Ah! There is~"

Chen Ziping's self-pitying words reminded Xingyan, and he intercepted Chen Ziping's words at that time.

"Hmm? What's the way?"

"It seems that Brother Chen, you really have a prophecy; this time, we really want to sell the talisman."

When he returned to the inn, Xingyan looked for the owner of the shop and told him about the loss of money just now. Just as the owner of the shop frowned, Xingyan quickly stated that both of them were Taoist priests of Shangqing Palace and had always been good at drawing talismans. He hoped that the owner could help with some paper, pen, charcoal and ink, so that he could draw some talismans and sell them, and he could pay the money for the stay in the shop earlier.

It seems that the Shangqing Palace is indeed famous all over the world, and it seems to have a great influence in Luoyang. As soon as he heard the name of Shangqing Palace, he looked at Xingyan and the demeanor of the two of Chen Ziping. The expressions of the owner of the shop immediately calmed down. Not only did he not make things difficult for the two, he also cooperated very much to bring bamboo paper, pen and ink to allow the two to write talismans.

So Xingyan returned to the guest room, treated the room he lived in as a quiet room, took out the "Tactics Sutra for the House-Suppressing Evils" that the old Taoist Qinghe gave him while parting, and began to copy the talismans according to the patterns in the book.

"Oh, I didn't expect that the old man Qinghe was really amazing! But even this old man didn't expect that he would use this book so soon, right?"

Although this famous and upright disciple of Shangqing has always hated these "ghost talismans" incidents; but because of his negligence, he lost his wallet. Therefore, the Shangqing disciple is not very easy to object to Xingyan's selling talismans, so he had to sit speechlessly aside.

After drawing a few pictures with great care, Xingyan gradually understood the trick. After all, this young man in Raozhou had also entered the "non-self-free realm" and learned a few magic techniques from the dragon girl Lingyi. Although his mind was not very clear and clear about the principles of Yin and Yang and Five Elements; however, in Xingyan's subconscious, he had a very impressive intuitive understanding.

Therefore, after drawing a few pictures, Xingyan seemed to have some realization:

These talismans, which are claimed to be able to ward off evil spirits and suppress demons, are not purely deceitful tricks like Chen Ziping despised.

Xingyan found that in all the dots and lines in these talisman patterns, there seemed to be some kind of Yi principle, which was quite consistent with the way of Yin and Yang and Five Elements. These dots, horizontal, horizontal, and horizontal strokes, combined according to certain rules, seemed to have some mysterious power.

"It seems that it is like the five tones of the jade flute, which secretly corresponds to the five elements. These talismans and pictures also secretly conform to some meaning; I probably misread the old man Qinghe in the past!"

Thinking of this, Xingyan became more and more pious, and from the beginning of his unconfused heart, he turned into a serious and concentrating writing and depiction.

As the tip of the wrist pen was sent and flowed, Xingyan gradually entered a state of "no one around", and his whole body and mind seemed to begin to extend in a gentle manner with the lines of the talisman.

Chen Ziping, who was not far away, was still unhappy. When he thought that because of his carelessness, he had to rely on those few paper talismans to earn money, this disciple of Shangqing was both ashamed and ashamed.

After more than half an hour, even Chen Ziping, who had been sitting very skilled, began to get a little impatient. Only then did Zhang Xingyan, who had been sitting upright in front of the desk, had accomplished his work.

Now, on the tables in front of the boy's desk, on the bed beside him, and on the floors around him, all of them are filled with talismans with strange patterns; there are many pieces of paper, but the ink stains are still there, and they have not been completely dry yet.

It turns out that in the "Tactics Sutra for the House and Elimination of Evils" given by the old Taoist Qinghe, there are all kinds of talismans, and everything is available in various places; those who ward off evil spirits, those who ward off monsters, those who harbor monsters, those who harbor ghosts and gods, even those who thrived in the six animals, had a bumper grain, headaches, and ants who ate mosquitoes. They even had corresponding talismans! It's really:

There are all kinds of corners and corners, and everything is covered!

——I don’t know where the old Taoist Qinghe got this grand talisman scripture.

After struggling for so long, Xingyan didn't have time to check it out carefully. Anyway, he copied it and drew a few pictures of each type - according to the boy's thoughts, this might be able to expand the sales route.

When the ink on these talismans were all dry, Xingyan called the depressed Chen Ziping to pick up the talismans together.

He brought all the talismans to the case, and Xingyan also asked the Taoist practitioner from Shangqing Palace to see how his talisman was drawn.

After hearing Xingyan's inquiry, this brother Chen Ziping, Chen Dao, was a little confused and thoughtless, and used two fingers to hold up an evil-proof talisman and look at it.

The young man Xingyan stared at Chen Ziping's expression with his eyes, and he felt quite nervous - after all, the trip they had to spend in the next few days all depended on these thin paper pieces.

Xingyan, who was observing his expression, suddenly realized that Chen Ziping, who was not concerned at the beginning, looked at him and his expression gradually became solemn.

"What's wrong? Is it ugly and looks ugly?"

Xingyan asked nervously.

"No - now I want to tell you that the talismans drawn by Brother Zhang are probably really tricky!"

"Yeah?"

After hearing Chen Ziping say this, Xingyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, I stared at this talisman for a while, but I felt very refreshed. The worries just now seemed to be wiped out!"

"Yeah?!"

After receiving the praise of this disciple of Shangqing Palace, Xingyan immediately became energetic and took over the conversation and said:

"As the saying goes, 'If you don't know the orifice, you will make ghosts and gods laugh; if you know the orifice, you will be shocked to make ghosts and gods scream.'! When I just painted these talismans, I still put in a lot of effort!"

"I don't know the secret of drawing talismans... This is quite interesting."

"Yes, this is what I heard from your Master Qinghe."

"Oh, it's him. Let's go out now?"

"Okay. Uh~ Let's wait for me and draw another talisman when I go."

Just as he was about to clean up his house and go out, Xingyan's heart moved, and sat down again and began to draw talismans according to the rules. This time, he turned to the last page of the "Demon-Suppressing" part and said:

"It's it!"

Then, he began to carefully describe the most complex and mysterious talisman pattern in the book. According to the instructions attached to this talisman, it is claimed that if the talisman is made and applied with a profound Taoist power, even the immortal bird and the divine beast will be obediently suppressed by it!

Of course, Xingyan didn't expect to conquer any fairy birds and beasts. Even if he could conquer, he could meet that fairy bird and beast? Xingyan thought so in his heart:

"I heard the old man say yesterday that a Taoist priest who came to Luoyang to sell talismans, but was finally humiliated by the little fox fairy - as the saying goes, whether this talisman is useful or not, it is best to choose one that is said to be the most powerful and draw it just in case."

When the ink traces of the last talisman were already dry, Xingyan and Chen Ziping packed the talismans and piled them together. They borrowed bamboo tables and stools from the owner of the shop and came to the shop to set up stalls to sell talismans.

The inn where Xingyan and his two stayed did not go right on the street; the front door of the inn was still a distance from the street in front. In the middle was a corridor paved with bluestone. On both sides of the road were two green bamboo forests. Xingyan and Chen Ziping placed the table and stools on the side of the bamboo road, and began to sell his talismans under the shade of bamboo.

And that brother Chen Ziping, who had not completely turned around, was so he was squeamish next to Xingyan, and he was really restless. Xingyan knew his difficulties, so he asked him to go back to his room to rest. It was enough to sell it by himself - anyway, the young man was accustomed to this matter. But Chen Ziping was quite loyal. Although he was extremely resistant to the behavior of the disciples of Shangqing Palace in the street, he was embarrassed to leave Xingyan to sell talismans alone here.

So, the final result was that Chen Ziping moved a bamboo stool and moved a little far away, leaving the talisman stall a short distance. Even so, this famous orthodox disciple who had never done such a thing still felt uncomfortable and always felt that he was doing something bad. His eyes were only staring at the gaps in the bluestone in front of him, and he did not dare to look at the pedestrians passing by on the street.

The young man who had been living in the market for a long time and had not had time to be influenced by the wind and rain of the Qing Palace on Luofu Mountain, did not have so many etiquette and concerns. After the stall was set up, he began to shout loudly as if no one else was there. After all, Qinghe, the old Taoist who relied on talismans to make money for wine, had such a set of sayings about selling talismans, and there was no hindrance!

However, although in order to cooperate with the sale, Xingyan has now changed into a short-clad Taoist outfit and is confident in shouting, but he has not taken the banner of "Shangqing Palace" - first, Chen Ziping firmly disagrees; second, Xingyan himself does not have much confidence in these talismans.

Xingyan said that before he could enter Luofu Mountain, he smashed the signboard of the Shangqing Palace. That would be bad.

However, after Xingyan shouted at the top of his throat, he could at most point fingers from pedestrians. Occasionally, two or three curiously stopped, but he just flipped around and picked it up casually, without any intention of purchasing.

"Oh, bad luck! I'm afraid that the Taoist senior last time ruined our reputation as a talisman seller in Luoyang!"

Xingyan couldn't help but sigh.

Now, the sun is gradually rising, and the sunlight is gradually moving to the bamboo table in front of Xingyan; there is also some sunlight that passes through the sparse bamboo leaves on the top of his head, scattering mottled spots on the boy's body.

After shouting for so much, Xingyan gradually became weak after being shining with the warm spring day. Now, the boy was not as imposing as he started; now the shouting in his mouth gradually changed from a loud and high-pitched "destroying demons and warding off evil spirits" to "repellent mosquitoes and flies"; and the sound became like a mosquito and flies...

Now, Chen Ziping, who was on the bamboo stool not far away, had been well trained by Shangqing Palace, but now he was like Xingyan and began to feel drowsy...

Just when this place was deserted, the man who was looking down and listless Xingyan suddenly felt that a figure came to the desk, and seemed to be interested and couldn't help but flip the talismans in front of him.

"Ah! It's finally going to open?"

Xingyan immediately encouraged himself, gathered up all his strength from the beginning, raised his head, and prepared to make a big promotion.

However, just as he was about to make a fuss about talismans, Xingyan saw that the man who was flipping the talismans was the little girl who was making trouble with Zhao Yigang this morning-

Now, this little girl with a short red collar and pretty face as white as jade powder, whose mouth was as pouting as Zhu Yu was pouting. She put one hand on her hips and pointed at the stall owner in front of her, and said angrily with her face:

"Big brother, are you going to sell demon-suppressing talismans too?"
