Returning to the dojo of Baitong Trading Company, Xu Ping was in a state of dissatisfaction all night long, bleeding profusely.
At dawn, hundreds of smiling paper figures were stored in the bottomless pit, and I felt safe in my heart.
After all, if you go out these days, if there is a commotion, it would be a bit inappropriate to call hundreds of brothers.
But Xu Ping, the smartest, most graceful and most charming Gillian, stayed at the construction site.
The paper man with the beautiful face is much stronger than the ordinary paper man.
He also cares most about the paper doll Gillian.
Such as copper skin and iron bones, turning water, appearing and disappearing, as well as curses in witchcraft, Xu Ping used uncanny craftsmanship to draw runes in Gillian's body, and perfectly reproduced them.
The only flaw is that it is difficult to find beautiful jade that stores the true energy. Among the paper brothers and sisters on the construction site, only Gillian can cast spells.
"Perhaps we can take advantage of this time to do some shopping..." Xu Ping thought in his mind.
When he went out and stopped a car, Xu Ping said directly: "Master, go to Xiguan Antique City."
Xiguan Antique City is an antique antique street one kilometer long.
The sun is gathering before the sky, and the water is scattered in front of the sky. In the back alleys with the first light of dawn, the place is already very lively.
The sidewalks on both sides of Wenchang North Road are filled with a dazzling array of antiques.
Maybe some are indeed from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but most of them are definitely from the last week.
Xu Ping walked slowly among the crowd, looking left and right, feeling slightly speechless in his heart.
He actually had no intention of picking up the leaks, but he was still a little disappointed. After all, he looked for a long time and found nothing.
The goal of his trip is sword and jade.
Along the way, I looked at many things, but none of them were useful.
I looked at several copper coin swords one after another. There was no yang energy in them at all, and they were quite similar to Shopkeeper Li who had been sucked dry.
The copper coins used in the copper coin sword should have been handed down from ancient times. Only when the yang energy is sufficient and pure can it have the effect of exorcising evil spirits.
After wandering around for a long time, Xu Ping was suddenly stunned, as if he was being watched.
A smile appeared on his lips and he walked straight to a tea stall nearby.
"Old man, two bowls of tea."
The old man running the tea stall glanced behind him and showed a wrinkled smile: "Sir, the tea in our shop can be refilled. You can just ask for a bowl of tea each."
Xu Ping sat on the bench and shook his head: "I am alone now, but I will not be alone later."
The old man selling tea was stunned. It turned out that he had made an appointment with someone.
Just as he was thinking this, someone came up from behind him, with admiration on his face: "Sir, you are indeed extraordinary, but you are so rude."
Before he finished speaking, he sat on the left side of Xu Ping and said with a smile: "I'm Fatty Hu, haven't you asked me for advice yet?"
Xu Ping was stunned for a moment and looked up and down. The man in front of him had a mustache and was tall and thin...
Most likely it was a nickname, so he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Xu Bayi, Brother Hu, your name is not worthy of the name."
They all come out to fool around, so of course they have to report their nicknames.
After hearing this, the person in front of me smiled bitterly, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "To be honest, I once had a partner, nicknamed Fatty, but...sigh."
Xu Ping had a calm look on his face, "I'm quite rude, but Brother Hu, you've been following me all this time. Do you want to rob me of money, or do you want to do something wrong?"
Originally, Xu Ping didn't notice much earlier, mainly because there were too many people.
But after walking around for a while, he noticed a faint earthy smell lingering nearby.
There are many people here, so it's not strange to smell something. Xu Ping has a sensitive sense of smell, so he can naturally detect it clearly.
The person in front of him was slightly startled, and felt very happy. It seemed that he had indeed made a mistake and had met an expert.
At this time, the old man at the tea stall brought two bowls of tea. Fatty Hu quickly picked up the tea and said, "I'm sorry to be disrespectful. I'm offering tea instead of wine. I'd like to toast my brother first."
After finishing the tea in one gulp, Fatty Hu shouted again: "Boss, have another bowl."
After following me all morning, you must be really thirsty... Xu Ping smiled, picked up the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp, so as to save the old man from having to make another trip later.
"I've drank the tea. Brother Hu, what's the matter? You can tell me." Xu Ping asked.
Fatty Hu said hurriedly: "I dare to ask Brother Xu, who is Mr. Feng Shui?"
"Why do you say that?" Xu Ping neither admitted nor denied.
Fatty Hu took another sip of tea and then said: "Brother Xu, you have been looking at some ancient jades, copper coin swords, peach wood swords and the like this morning. If you are not a Feng Shui master, what is the use of these things?"
?”
Xu Ping looked up and found Fatty Hu's eyes burning with expectation.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "That's right. I have achieved some success in my cultivation, but my hand lacks a magic weapon."
Fatty Hu's face lit up with joy and he said hurriedly: "That's great, Brother Xu..."
Just after shouting, he suddenly looked around and saw the passers-by. No one noticed him. He lowered his voice and said, "I have a bronze sword from Shang and Zhou dynasties over there. I wonder if you are interested."
"Shang and Zhou? Or last week?" Xu Ping emphasized the word "Shang".
Fatty Hu smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Xu must have noticed that there are not two real things on Wenchang Street."
"And my bronze sword is definitely from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. If there is any adulteration, I will give you my head."
Why do I need your head? I don't urinate frequently, so I don't need such a big chamber pot... Xu Ping probably guessed the identity of this person, nodded and said: "Stop talking nonsense, go see something somewhere."
Look at this person, he doesn't have anything long on him.
Fatty Hu had an incomprehensible expression and said: "This copper coin sword is not in my hands yet, but after I get it, I, Hu, will not take it back at all..."
When Xu Ping heard this, he sneered: "By joining forces with Brother Hu, we are planning to use nothing."
Saying that, with some emotion, he got up and left.
"Hey, Brother Xu, Brother Xu, don't leave, let's talk again." Fatty Hu became anxious and got up to chase after him.
Xu Ping paused, without looking back, and said, "If I guess correctly, the bronze sword you mentioned is still buried in the soil, right?"
Fatty Hu was thinking just now that he should have taken control of the other party, but before he finished speaking, the young Feng Shui master in front of him didn't give him any face.
I thought that if there was no Feng Shui master, it would be impossible to get down to the tomb no matter what.
This time it was Xu Ping who took advantage of him.
Fatty Hu hurriedly said: "Brother Xu, since you have seen it, I won't hide it anymore. I will give you at least half of the stuff inside."
"The remaining half should be handed over to the country?" Xu Ping asked with a chuckle, thinking to himself, he didn't know how long he could hold on if he let the dragon go into the sea. It seemed that he didn't have time to fool around with them.
Fatty Hu's face froze, and he said with a smile: "Brother Xu, stop joking, we are just doing this business, and those who eat this bowl of rice, hand it over..., aren't you talking nonsense?"
Xu Ping thought for a moment and asked, "Where is that place...?"
"nearby."
Xu Ping frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "If it's nearby, I'd be somewhat interested."
Fatty Hu showed an expression of surprise, "Since Brother Xu is interested, why don't we find a place and discuss it in detail?"
Xu Ping nodded, put down his tea money, and found another secluded place.
…
After coming out of the teahouse, Xu Ping slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling a little disappointed.
It turned out that Fatty Hu was a Colonel Mojin, and the tomb he was talking about was on Xianggang Mountain, an undeveloped area in the provincial capital.
There are few people living nearby and it is still some distance from the provincial capital.
It is said to be a tomb from the Warring States Period, but the structure of the tomb is intricate, which coincides with the strange techniques of Feng Shui.
He took some people there once, and after losing a lot of people, he withdrew.
I wanted to find some Feng Shui masters to go with me, but I saw Xu Ping looking for things like copper coins and swords on Wenchang Street, so I took my eye on them.
The reason why Xu Ping was disappointed was that he was not the only candidate.
The promised Shang and Zhou bronze swords were just a gimmick to lure Xu Ping over.
However, he didn't refuse immediately. He was just like a scumbag, hanging up this fat man and saying that he would think about it first.
If I hadn't urinated frequently, I would have really wanted to rip your head off... Xu Ping felt a little depressed when he thought of being cheated.
So much time was wasted in vain.
He glanced at the window on the second floor, shook his head, and continued walking forward.
In the teahouse, the Fatty Hu just now was sitting by the window, with a serious look on his face. Compared with the easy-going look just now, he seemed to have completely changed his appearance.
At this moment, the door to the private room was pushed open, and a short man with an earthy face walked in.
"Boss Hu, has that person agreed?"
Fatty Hu didn't look back and responded calmly, "He will agree. A Taoist priest who has just come down the mountain will naturally be a little worried when encountering such a thing."
The man glanced out the window and saw that Xu Ping had long since disappeared, "We have already found three Feng Shui masters, why are we still looking for this person? He is so young and he shouldn't be very powerful."
"You are wrong..." Fatty Hu shook his head: "This person can tell my identity at a glance, so he must be a good person. And judging from his attire, it seems that he is out of touch with the times. He must have learned from some famous sect."
"Boss Hu is still very good. He can see so much information at a glance..." As he said, he was a little worried: "Boss, I heard that those Feng Shui masters are good at sorcery. After we accomplish our work, we really have to give away half of the things.
come out?"
When Fatty Hu heard this, he turned around, stared and said, "When did you see me talk so well and know sorcery?"
"snort!"
"No matter how powerful they are, can they be more powerful than this thing?" Fatty Hu patted his waist, and under his wide clothes, the shape of a pistol was outlined.
"Now, times have changed."
…
The origin of the name Wenchang Road is because there is a very popular Wenchang Temple here.
According to legend, Emperor Wenchang of Wenquxing was an immortal who controlled literature, knowledge, fame and wealth in the world.
Xu Ping could also see that there was Wenlan Academy next to it. Judging from the inscriptions standing at the door, this place had produced many top scholars, top prizes, etc.
The thing about being the No. 1 Scholar in later generations is really not new. Every province is one, and as for the No. 3 Scholar, there are even more.
There are a lot of them online, but there are even more in jails.
After standing in front of Wenchang Temple for a while, Xu Ping walked directly in.
Gugui
This is what he was thinking in his heart. Since there is nothing to find here, he should go and pick up the fairy's wool.
The temple is full of incense, with some small items for sale on the left and handfuls of incense candles on the right.
Xu Ping glanced at the price curiously. Well, if he compared the two, he would really be a good person.
"Huh?!"
After entering the temple, Xu Ping felt slightly surprised when he looked at the woman buying incense a few steps away.
What he paid attention to was not that the other person's figure was bulging and attractive, but that the hall was darkened and there was a hint of blood.
This is a very bad omen.
Finally, Xu Ping focused his eyes into a line and looked at the jade pendant hanging on the chest of the woman in front of him.
The shape of this jade pendant is a bit strange.
It is said that men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha, but the jade pendant this woman wears is actually a jade sword made of white jade. The tip of the sword hangs down from the white snow of the mountains, as if it is made of nature and can be split with a sword.
What attracted Xu Ping's attention even more was that there was a faint black energy lingering in the jade sword.
"How dare you..."
Xu Ping was fascinated by what he saw, but unexpectedly, an angry voice suddenly came from his ears: "How dare you be so rude..."
Someone walked over quickly, and the charming woman in front of him and the maid standing next to her also turned to look over.
The voice sounded familiar to Xu Ping, and he realized that it was yesterday that the young man following Mr. Feng seemed to be named Wang Hongguang.
At this time, the other party also realized that it was Xu Ping, his face changed instantly, and he said with a smile: "Ah, it turns out to be Mr. Xu."
After saying that, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, using the junior salute.
It is said that after Wang Hongguang woke up yesterday, as soon as he got up from the bed, he saw a long sword turned into an afterimage and slapped on his buttocks.
I have never forgotten the beating that night.
"Mr. Xu, please don't be offended. Master has already taught me a lesson. I was the first to be rude yesterday. I wonder if Mr. Xu is free. Let Hongguang toast you and apologize."
Recalling his master's instructions that when he saw him again, he must be treated as his own father, Wang Hongguang subconsciously touched his buttocks and continued to smile flatteringly: "Mr. Xu, you are also here to play, I can be your guide."
He behaved very enthusiastically and in an extremely low-key manner. It was obvious that he meant to make friends.
They say that after three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration. You have only been here for one night. What made you change so quickly...
Xu Ping was stunned for a moment, guessing that he might have received a lesson from the stick.
"No need, I'm just walking around..."
As he said this, he suddenly woke up.
This person is from the Supernatural Investigation Department, and his master is in the provincial capital, so his status is not low, and he may know many people in the same field.
Wouldn't it be better to buy a sword from a fellow swordsman than to be like a headless fly yourself?
Xu Ping looked around and asked curiously: "Is your master here?"
Wang Hongguang had a well-behaved look on his face: "Master has gone to meet guests, I am..."
He still wanted to get closer, but the woman next to him asked in a soft voice, "Hongguang, who is this?"
The charming woman came over, followed by a pretty maid, but they both looked at Xu Ping with a little displeasure.
I guess he mistook Xu Ping's behavior just now for a pervert here.
Wang Hongguang glanced at Xu Ping apologetically, and then said to her: "This... is my colleague, he is very capable."
He didn't know what Xu Ping meant, so he vaguely identified his colleague.
Xu Ping grinned happily and thought to himself that you are pretty good at it. Sure enough, if the child is disobedient, everything will be cured after a good beating.
But for a moment, looking at the woman's eyes, she felt a little dazed.
By the way, aunt, how old are you? Wang Hongguang should be around twenty, so his aunt must be at least forty.
Looking at the woman in front of him who appeared to be in her thirties at most, Xu Ping couldn't help feeling that the woman's age was really a mystery.
"colleague?"
The woman looked at Xu Ping in deep thought. Seeing his unabashed look, her eyebrows furrowed slightly: "You should stay away from him in the future."
This was said without being polite at all.
Wang Hongguang looked depressed and said hurriedly: "Auntie, this Mr. Xu...well, he is of the same generation as Master. Like you, he is my elder."
Of course this aunt knew what her nephew did for a living, so she couldn't help but take a second look at Xu Ping.
Apart from being young and handsome, I haven't noticed anything else yet.
"Forget it, you can just reminisce about old times. I'll go in and pay my respects." As she said that, the woman swayed and walked towards the temple.
Wang Hongguang responded and continued to stay by Xu Ping's side, asking him what his purpose was.
Xu Ping thought for a moment and asked, "Your master is in the provincial capital, does he have a lot of connections?"
"That's natural. Master has acquaintances whether they are from the Buddhist sect or from multiple dojos." Wang Hongguang naturally understood that the connections Xu Ping mentioned were those within the circle.
"Well, I don't know if your master is free. I want to see him tonight." Xu Ping said openly as he had an idea in his mind.
Wang Hongguang quickly replied: "I'm so free. My master also specially told me that if I see Mr. Xu, I must ask you to leave your address and walk around more in the future."
Xu Ping nodded and reported Baitong Trading Company.
Wang Hongguang was secretly happy. As a result, if he had to face the wall and think about his fault today, he would definitely not be punished if he sneaked out to go shopping with his aunt.
Thinking of the black energy he saw just now, Xu Ping concentrated for a moment and asked: "That woman just now, uh... is your aunt, who is she, and what's going on recently?"
Wang Hongguang looked wary, what do you mean, I respect you for your moral integrity and call you senior, but you actually want to be my uncle?
Seeing his expression, Xu Ping was surprised and said: "What's wrong? Can't you ask?"
Wang Hongguang was about to speak when he suddenly came to his senses and looked Xu Ping up and down.
This senior is of high moral character, young, and quite handsome, but just a little bit worse than me.
It's more than enough to match my aunt.
My aunt is a widow. She has been alone for twenty years and it’s time to find someone.
If she is with this senior, then from now on I...
Can't we walk sideways?
As soon as he thought about this, he immediately sold his aunt completely.
widow?
rich?
From Hong Kong Island?
Xu Ping was speechless. Is this what I am paying attention to? He cursed angrily: "What are you thinking about? What I'm asking is, how is her physical condition recently?"
"Physical condition?" Wang Hongguang looked surprised, suddenly understood, and said: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, my aunt is in good health. Giving birth or something will definitely not be a problem."
Probably because he was worried that his aunt was too old and would not be able to have children, Wang Hongguang was very pleased with himself and said to himself that I was really clever.
Master always says that I am stupid, but most of the time, I am very witty.
Xu Ping almost didn't catch his breath and kicked him directly. There was a bit of anger in his voice: "I want to say, does she often feel dizzy? Does she sleep more?"
Only then did Wang Hongguang realize that he had made a mistake, "How do I know this? You have to ask Xiaocui, um... that is, the maid next to my aunt, she should know best."
Seeing that Xu Ping wanted to lift his leg again, he hurriedly said: "I'll go ask. Senior is waiting here. I'll go right away..."
Before he could start, a girl's scream suddenly came from the temple, "Ah! Madam, what's wrong with you, please don't scare me."
Wang Hongguang was stunned for a moment. This voice sounded so familiar.
And Xu Ping had already rushed over quickly.
As soon as he entered the temple, Xu Ping had no time to think. He rushed into the crowd and reached out to explore the peak. He didn't even have time to feel the smoothness of his fingertips before he pulled down the jade sword steaming with black energy.
Before Xiao Cui could say anything to stop him, Xu Ping was already holding the jade sword and observing it carefully.
A trace of true energy flowed into the jade sword. Xu Ping squinted his eyes and sneered. He thought it was some evil thing, but it turned out to be just a nightmare.
Nightmare ghost refers to riding on a sleeping nightmare, making it unable to breathe.
In layman's terms, it means that people have nightmares, and when they wake up, they feel groggy and lack of energy.
"Auntie, auntie, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Hongguang, who rushed in later, looked anxious, looking at his aunt who had fainted in Xiaocui's arms, his anxious voice changed.
This is terrible.
If my mother knew that I persuaded my aunt to take me out to play, I would have to twist my head off.
The fainted woman's whole body was shaking slightly, her eyebrows were furrowed, as if she was in pain, her eyelashes were trembling slightly, and she tried desperately to open her eyes, but she couldn't.
Just after taking a few glances, Shi Hongguang also noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly took off the peach wood hanging from his waist and wiped his eyes.
Then his face changed drastically.
"Ah this..."
Xu Ping lowered the jade sword in his hand and raised his eyes to look at the woman. He saw that her beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of black gauze, and curls of black smoke were inhaled into her mouth and nose.
The Meditation Mantra among the eight Taoist mantras should be effective...
"Epilepsy, this must be epilepsy."
Among the onlookers, some people wanted to explain it scientifically, but someone immediately wanted to take off their socks and stuff them into the charming woman's mouth.
I don't know if he is trying to help, or if he has some evil intentions in his heart.
"Go away!"
Wang Hongguang slapped the man's dirty hand off and shouted angrily.
Another person looked at the incense burner on the shrine and said hurriedly: "The incense ashes on the temple can cure diseases. Get out of the way and let me come."
Facing the fainting charming woman, these male pilgrims who came to offer incense showed great enthusiasm.
