Chapter 137 Magical Tool (Thanks to Fangcun Tianya 2008
Hou Donggui waved his hand and signaled the two beautiful tea masters in the wing to leave temporarily.
After all, although he and Dong Dahai have been on the battlefield for a long time, Chen Hai should still be the first brother. He was worried that Chen Hai would not be able to adapt to such an occasion.
"Lao Dong opened an antique shop over there in Liulichang!"
"Brother Chen, if you want to buy something or want to sell something, you can go to Mr. Dong and there will be no problem!"
Pointing at Dong Dahai, Hou Donggui introduced it to Chen Hai.
After saying these words, he only paused for a moment, turned to Dong Dahai, and continued: "Brother Chen and I belong to the same type of people. Old Dong, you should know what we do."
"If he really wants to buy something from your store, you can't hack him!"
"Otherwise, if there are any serious consequences, don't blame me for not warning you in advance!"
When facing Chen Hai, Hou Donggui looked kind and cheerful.
However, when he looked at Dong Dahai, his eyes had become extremely sharp.
The words coming out of his mouth clearly contained a warning.
"Master Hou, our Jubaozhai is a century-old store. When we do business, we always pay attention to fair prices and do no deception!"
"Besides, Mr. Chen is your friend. It's an honor for me that he is willing to come to Jubaozhai. If you lend me some courage, I don't dare to neglect him!"
It seemed that he was in great awe of Hou Donggui. After just a few words, Dong Dahai broke into a cold sweat.
After wiping the fine layer of sweat on his forehead, he quickly patted his chest and promised.
"That's good!" Hou Donggui responded with a nod.
"Master Hou, you have invited Mr. Chen to come over. There must be something to discuss. I will leave first and won't disturb you two!"
Dong Dahai stood up and said hello to Chen Hai and Hou Donggui. He was very sensible and had already retreated first.
"Is this old director in the antique business?" Chen Hai sat down on the leather sofa in the wing room and confirmed to Hou Donggui.
When he talked about antiques, he thought of the bottles and jars hidden under the bed in his hometown.
Those things, Li Dajiang said, could be worth a lot of money.
It's a pity that his understanding of antiques is only slightly better than Chen Hai's.
Li Dajiang couldn't tell what level the bottles and jars in Chen Hai's hands belonged to among antiques.
"Yes!" Hou Donggui nodded: "Old Dong, despite being a submissive person in front of us, he has been in Liulichang for so many years and still has some connections in the antique business."
"You will need to stay in Kyoto for a few years when you go to college. You can go there for a stroll in your free time!"
"If you're lucky, maybe you can pick up the leaks and get a few magic weapons back?"
Speaking of which, he took off a string of beads from his wrist.
After dazzling it in front of Chen Hai's eyes, he continued: "I bought this thing from Lao Dong's shop, and it only cost two thousand yuan."
"Despite its material, there is nothing special about it, but this string of beads is a real magic weapon!"
"Here, let me try it out and test your eyesight to see if you can spot the peculiarities of this thing."
After saying this, Hou Donggui generously handed the bracelet in his hand to Chen Hai.
Chen Hai didn't know anything about antiques and curios.
After receiving the bracelet handed over by Hou Donggui, he turned it over and over and checked it carefully several times. After finding nothing unusual, he simply used the power of his soul.
Under the prying eyes of the leech soul and its ten ferocious compound eyes, Chen Hai clearly saw traces of green energy emanating from the bracelet and escaping to all sides.
"Angry? Carrying this thing can nourish the physical body?"
Chen Hai exclaimed as his soul returned to his body.
This thing, to him, is like worthless food and has little use for the time being.
However, if one of his parents had such a bracelet, maybe they would live a few more years.
For such an item, let alone two thousand, even if it was twenty thousand or even two hundred thousand, as long as Chen Hai could get it, he would take it directly without saying a word.
"Brother Hou, are there many similar magic weapons on the market?" Chen Hai asked with curiosity on his face after returning the bracelet to Hou Donggui.
"Brother, the method of making magical weapons has been passed down for a long time!"
"In these days, it is not easy to find a real magic weapon. Everything depends on your luck."
"If you really want to talk about it, among the magic weapons, this bracelet of mine can only be regarded as an inferior existence!"
"It is said that a truly powerful magic weapon has infinite power and can move mountains and seas. It is not impossible."
Not sure what he was thinking of, Hou Donggui let out a long sigh and continued: "In China, those of us in Xuanmen have always been suppressed."
"The attitudes of the Taoist branches such as Quanzhen, Maoshan, and Zhengyi are quite relaxed, but the main reason for this is because the inheritance of these famous sects has long been cut off."
"You should know that whether it is a Taoist practice or a talisman painting, you need to open an altar, pray to the ancestor, or borrow a method."
"What has been cut off in these orthodox Taoist sects is not the Taoist classics, but the trace of connection between them and their ancestors."
"Without this connection, they have lost their true heritage. They can no longer even visualize their ancestors."
"In recent years, I have come into contact with several people from the Taoist sects. Unfortunately, I have not met anyone who is truly successful in cultivating Taoism."
"Perhaps, in ten or twenty years, the so-called Taoism will only exist in legends, and the so-called ancestral home of Taoism will be transformed into a tourist attraction."
"On the contrary, there are quite a few folk magicians or goddesses who have some real abilities."
"It's just that most of these people are heretics and only know a few tricks. Their magic power is borrowed and they are destined not to become anything great."
"The existences behind them are all little furry gods. They can only make a small fuss, but they won't be able to stir up much trouble."
"If someone really dares to go against the general trend, establish a sect for the existence behind them, wave the flag and spread the faith, what awaits them will definitely be a thunderous strike from above."
"In this era, for those of us in Xuanmen, we have to say that this is indeed a kind of sadness..."
After letting out a long sigh, Hou Donggui said again: "The first time I met you, Brother Chen, I thought there was a true cultivator from Longhu Mountain living among the people. By chance, you got some inheritance."
"But now it seems like that's not the case at all."
"What exactly do you practice? This is your privacy. I won't ask any more questions."
"As someone who has been through this, I can only remind you that in your daily life, try to be as low-key as possible and don't be too showy."
"Establishing a sect to spread faith is an absolute red line. Anyone who touches it will die. Don't do anything..."
