Zhiyan Brush Shop is a traditional pen shop with a history of 150 years. The facade is elegantly decorated, and the store is elegantly decorated with all kinds of writing brushes, inkstones, ink sticks, rice paper and other writing materials. The whole store is full of charm.
There is a quaint and scholarly atmosphere.
Many of the shopping guides in the store are elderly people. They wear gray long coats and have goatees, adding a quaint and scholarly atmosphere to the pen shop.
When the shopping guides saw Yu Ziqing walking leisurely into the pen store, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Their store is not like some cultural supplies stores. The literary items they sell have a certain collection value. Only those true literati will come to their door and spend a lot of money to buy them. Ordinary people who want to learn calligraphy and so on, it is absolutely impossible.
I don’t come here to buy anything. Therefore, the people who come here are basically old customers, mostly older academics. Young and unfamiliar customers like Yu Ziqing rarely come here a few times a year.
"I wonder what this gentleman wants to buy?" An elderly shopping guide came up and asked with a smile.
"I want to buy some fine wolf cents, an inkstone, cinnabar and yellow paper." Yu Ziqing replied.
Yu Ziqing's words attracted the attention of an old man who was coming down the stairs on the second floor.
The old man's face was thin and yellow, but his eyes, which should have been presbyopic, flashed brightly from time to time.
The shopping guide led Yu Ziqing to a wall cabinet with wolf hair brushes, pointed at the antique brushes hanging on the wall, and said proudly: "These are all high-quality wolf hair."
Yu Ziqing glanced slightly, shook his head, and said: "I don't want a brush made of weasel hair, I want a brush made of real prairie wolf hair."
A trace of surprise flashed in the shopping guide's eyes. Just as he was about to speak, the old man's voice sounded behind him.
"Old Zhang, you go and do other things. I will entertain this gentleman."
"It's the boss." The shopping guide known as Lao Zhang trembled slightly when he heard this, and the look of surprise in his eyes became more intense. Except for a few well-established customers, even big customers, their bosses did not come forward.
The one who greeted me. It would be more appropriate to say that he is a businessman, rather than a hermit. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to greet this young stranger today.
When the old man approached, Yu Ziqing combined the strong mental power of the two people and felt a slight change in the aura, but the change in the aura was a bit dull and not smooth and smooth.
A strange light flashed across Yu Ziqing's eyes, but on the surface he remained calm.
"I, Shangguan Mingyuan, am the owner of this pen shop. I heard that sir, you want to buy a real Prairie Wolf brush, as well as some cinnabar, an inkstone, and yellow paper?" Shangguan Mingyuan said with a smile, his eyes sweeping over Yu Ziqing.
There was a flash of sharp light.
But he didn't see anything special about Yu Ziqing. This was not to say that Yu Ziqing's cultivation level was much higher than that of Shangguan Ming, but because Yu Ziqing had been practicing the highest-grade Immortal Cultivation Technique Tongtian Jade Qingxuan from the very beginning.
Gong, the true energy in the body is condensed like a thread. Unless the power is used to cause changes in the aura around the body, or the opponent's cultivation level is much higher than Yu Ziqing's, there is no way to see through his true identity.
But precisely because of this, Yu Ziqing became unpredictable in Shangguan Mingyuan's eyes.
Yu Ziqing nodded and said: "Exactly, boss, if you have a really good wolf hair, please take it out and take a look. It's easy to talk about the price."
With nearly 70,000 yuan in his pocket, Yu Ziqing finally got rid of the previous financial constraints.
"We do have really good wolf hair in our shop, but there are so many people coming and going here. It's better to go upstairs where it's quieter. Then I'll bring it to you and let you choose slowly." Shangguan Mingyuan said with a smile.
"That's fine!" Yu Zi said calmly, and followed Shangguan Mingyuan to the second floor.
"I don't know what to call you sir?" Shangguan Mingyuan asked seemingly casually.
"My name is Yu Ziqing." Yu Ziqing replied with a smile.
The upstairs is indeed quiet and elegant, with a few landscape paintings hanging on the walls and the melodious guzheng floating like flowing water from a clear spring.
Shangguan Mingyuan led Yu Ziqing to sit on a bamboo chair by the window. He personally made a cup of fine Longjing tea for Yu Ziqing, and then said: "Mr. Yu, please wait a moment. I will go get some fine wolf hairs right away."
Shangguan Mingyuan opened the boxes one by one, and there was a Langhao pen in each box.
Yu Ziqing glanced slightly, and couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment. These ink brushes were all made of wolf hair, and the workmanship was also very fine. If they were used for calligraphy and painting, they should be considered top quality, but the quality of the wolf hair was still not as good as Yu Ziqing's.
Minimum requirements.
You must know that the talisman is one of the immortal spells. When drawing the talisman, you not only need to be focused and the spiritual platform is empty, but you also need to use the talisman script to release the magic power on the tip of the pen so that the magic power is attached to the talisman. Only in this way can the talisman be completed.
Once the Immortal Talisman is cast, it can trigger the energy of all things and activate the energy of heaven and earth. Some truly powerful talismans can overwhelm mountains and destroy the heaven and earth. Like those charlatan sorcerers who draw random drawings on the talisman paper, it is just a ghostly talisman and not an immortal talisman.
Talisman.
Therefore, the brush used to draw the talisman is the most particular, because the mana of the person who writes the talisman has to pass through the talisman pen and finally land on the talisman. If the talisman's pen is not good, not only the transmission of mana becomes a problem, but also the person who writes the talisman needs to consume a lot of extra mana.
The talisman pen Yu Ziqing used in the past was at least the tail hair of a ten-thousand-year-old wolf demon, but now he can only make do with ordinary wolf brushes, but he did not expect that it is still unsatisfactory. If he had high magic power, he could barely use it, but now his magic power is low
Unfortunately, such a talisman pen cannot draw real talismans.
Could it be that he had to catch the Wolf King himself, because he couldn't make it himself? Yu Ziqing shook his head secretly.
Shangguan Mingyuan had been observing Yu Ziqing secretly, and when he saw a look of disappointment flashing across his face, he said, "Is it possible that these things still cannot catch the eye of Mr. Yu?"
Hearing this, Yu Ziqing raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Is it possible that Boss Shangguan still has a good langhao pen that he hasn't taken out yet?"
"I have one in my personal collection. It is said to be made from the tail hair of an Arctic wolf king. I just keep it at home. If Mr. Yu is interested, I can go back and get it." Shangguan Mingyuan said.
Yu Ziqing was a little moved when he heard this, but he knew that Arctic wolves are extremely rare, and the Arctic Wolf King is even more rare. I am afraid that his 70,000 yuan is not enough, and besides, this money is Shangguan Mingyuan's private collection.
"As long as Mr. Yu is interested in you, money is not an issue and I can make friends with you." Shangguan Mingyuan said.
Yu Ziqing finally felt a little moved and stared at Shangguan Mingyuan with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see Shangguan Mingyuan's internal organs.
Facing Yu Ziqing's gaze, Shangguan Mingyuan felt uncomfortable for the first time in his life. It seemed that the gaze could penetrate into the depths of his soul, making all his thoughts unable to escape.
"No reward for no merit, so be it. No matter whether I like your wolf hair or not, I will help you get through this difficulty." Yu Zi said calmly.
Shangguan Mingyuan was shocked when he heard this, his eyes burst into two extremely bright lights, and he said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Yu, please wait a moment, I will go home to get it."
