The old man who looked like a skeleton glanced at Su Ming, flicked his finger, and a ball of sparks burst out, lighting the oil lamp hanging on the wall, and the dark shop suddenly became a little brighter.
"Are there any repelling spells or earth attribute spells?"
Su Ming bowed his hand towards this mysterious old man.
"Wait."
After the old man finished speaking, he found a chair and lay down on it.
Waited for a while.
Just when Su Ming frowned in confusion, a white figure came towards Su Ming from the second floor carrying a wooden tray.
Bai Ying walked lightly and made no sound at all.
Su Ming didn't take it seriously at first, but when the white shadow approached him, Su Ming's pupils shrank suddenly, and a cold air rushed down his spine and into his brain.
The white shadow in front of me is actually not a living person, but a paper man with an exaggerated face.
Paper puppet!
Su Ming immediately recognized the thing in front of him.
Suppressing his violent heartbeat, Su Ming stretched out his hand, picked up the jade slip on the wooden plate and read it.
Although Su Ming knew that this was Qingshuifang City, no matter how sophisticated the mysterious old man in front of him was, he would not dare to mess around here.
But he still tightened his body unconsciously and looked a little wary.
When the old man saw Su Ming's appearance, he didn't take it seriously.
Su Ming kept selecting the jade slips.
But after searching for a long time, I found that there was not a single technique that suited my liking.
The spells the old man used were either too weak or took too long to practice. Except for the object-repelling technique, Su Ming didn't like any of them.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any powerful spells that require short training time?"
The old man was lying on the Grand Master's chair with his eyes closed to meditate. When he heard Su Ming's words, he immediately sneered, "It needs to be powerful and the training time is short?"
He shook his head and said, "I don't have this kind of technique in my shop. Maybe you can go to the Blood Demon Sect and ask about it."
Hearing this, Su Ming looked a little embarrassed.
"Is this technique for sale?"
Su Ming pointed to the paper figure holding the wooden plate and asked.
Who knows, when the old man heard Su Ming's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then a strange smile appeared on his face. This smile looked particularly cold and permeable in the dim room with oil lamps.
"Are you sure you want this technique?"
Seeing the old man's gloomy eyes like this, Su Ming instinctively retreated, but when he thought of his golden finger that enhanced the magic weapon, he couldn't help but want to try it.
"I'm sure, please give me a price."
"Give it to you."
As soon as Su Ming finished speaking, a yellowed ancient book was thrown over by the old man.
Su Ming took the yellowed ancient book, cupped his hands, and frowned: "The juniors and seniors have never known each other, and they are not benevolent or remunerative."
When the old man lying on the Taishi's chair heard this, he let out a strange smile: "Do you think I am doing you a favor?"
Su Ming didn't know how to talk, so he just didn't speak.
The old man thought to himself: "Practice in this heretical practice may seem extremely powerful, but when you come back to your senses, you will realize what you have lost."
Having said this, the old man lost interest, waved his hand impatiently, and said: "Okay, just buy an object-repelling technique, right? One spiritual stone."
Su Ming took out ten spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them over.
"I told you, this technique of mine was given as a gift."
The old man's expression was unhappy, and on his skull-like face, his eyes were dancing like will-o'-the-wisps.
Only then did Su Ming take back the 9 spirit stones. He bowed to the old man and said, "Thank you, senior, for the gift. Junior Su Ming, do you dare to ask for your senior's name?"
Hearing this, the old man lying on the Grand Master's chair waved his hand casually: "The heresy is not worth mentioning."
Su Ming was silent, then bowed to the old man again, and then slowly exited the shop.
After walking out of the store, Su Ming firmly remembered this store without a name, then left Dongfang District and walked towards Xifang District.
Less than half a stick of incense.
Su Ming returned to the D-19 store in Xifang District.
He glanced at Yang Laoliu's house opposite. His wife and children were still kneeling on the street, keeping vigil for Yang Laoliu.
Su Ming didn't look much, went back to the house, closed the door, and then went straight to the second floor.
Compared with Dongfang District, Xifang District was already quiet at this time. In the entire T-shaped street, only Yang Laoliu's house was still lit with fire.
Return to the second floor.
Su Ming first took stock of today's harvest.
The first is the spirit stone. He spent another spirit stone to purchase the object-dispelling technique. Now he still has a total of 15 spirit stones in his storage bag.
In addition, the biggest gain today is a yellowing ancient book obtained from a mysterious old man, and an object-repelling technique that almost everyone knows.
Su Ming first took out the yellowed ancient book and studied it carefully by the light in the room.
An hour later.
Su Ming finally understood the contents recorded in this ancient book.
What is described in this ancient book is a very powerful technique - Paper Puppetry.
The paper puppet of the mysterious old man today is a branch of the paper puppet technique - the paper-making technique.
As he looked through the ancient books, Su Ming frowned: "No wonder this old man is willing to give it to me for free. This art of paper-making is so evil."
The reason why it is said to be evil is because this technique requires monks to use their own essence and blood to refine it.
Moreover, the longer the monks perform sacrifices, the stronger the power of the paper figurine becomes.
But as an orthodox monk, Su Ming is very aware of the interconnection between the essence, energy and spirit of the human body.
For any monk, once the essence and blood are excessively depleted, it will inevitably lead to a regression in cultivation, which is a major event that affects the path.
No wonder the old man didn't care about this technique.
I think that when the other party was young, he must have coveted the power of this technique, which resulted in an irreversible bitter result - excessive loss of essence and blood, making it impossible to build the foundation.
Compared with foundation building, what is a magic technique?
What's more, judging from the old man's appearance, this technique has very serious side effects!
"But what if I use strengthening points to strengthen the paper puppet?"
Su Ming's heart was pounding, "Is it possible to circumvent the side effects of this technique?"
Once this thought arises, it can never be calmed down.
Try it, you must try it.
According to the records in this ancient book, once the paper puppet is sacrificed by monks with essence and blood for a certain period of time, its power can surpass all the monks in the Qi training period, and it can be said to be invincible during the Qi training period.
Su Ming carefully read the various requirements recorded in the art of paper-tying, and increasingly felt that this art had many similarities with weapon refining, which made Su Ming fascinated.
I do not know how long it has been.
Su Ming finally turned the ancient book to the last page.
"Why is it gone?"
Su Ming suddenly woke up from his intoxicated state. He had just seen the core part of the paper puppetry - the paper puppet house, but the content behind it was suddenly interrupted.
It was as if it had been amputated on purpose.
Is he the old man today?
Su Ming thought secretly in his heart.
However, even if the old man did it, Su Ming could not blame anyone else, because this technique was originally given to him by the old man.
