Chapter 3: Getting to Know Magical Artifacts for the First Time
"Squeak~"
The little four-wheeler finally stopped at an old street. He looked up and looked around and found that there were no lights except street lights. It seemed very quiet.
"This is my uncle's shop. I usually sleep here while he rents a house elsewhere."
Bai Jianyun opened the door as he spoke, walked in with Zheng Tianlong, and then walked up the stairs to the second floor.
The first floor is a shop, and the second floor can be partitioned off for people to live in and things to be piled up. When Zheng Tianlong came up, he found that there was a floor shop in the corner, and other than that there were various boxes or miscellaneous items one after another.
things.
Bai Jianyun took out a few bottles of beer from a small refrigerator nearby, and then took out a pack of brine and peanuts from nowhere, and said:
"Come on, we haven't seen each other in two years. Let's just have a few drinks tonight."
"good."
Zheng Tianlong nodded, twisted the bottle cap with his right hand and opened the beer with a "pop" sound.
Bai Jianyun looked at the corkscrew he had just pulled out, shook his head, and threw it aside. Zheng Tianlong has been very strong since he was a child, so such a thing is definitely a trivial matter for him.
After taking a few sips of beer, he picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth. Zheng Tianlong leaned back against a box and narrowed his eyes.
"Tianlong, don't think so much, just live here first and then think of a solution."
"Well, okay, don't talk about me anymore. How are you?"
Zheng Tianlong waved his hand, he didn't want to talk about this now.
"Me? As always, I'll work with my uncle. I won't be hungry, but it's impossible to get rich."
Speaking of this, Bai Jianyun is also quite depressed. There is no need to worry about eating and drinking with his uncle, but where is the future?
"I think it's good for you to do this. In a few years, when you save some money, you can open a store like your uncle's."
Shaking his head, Bai Jianyun said: "You don't understand the situation. A store like my uncle's is an advertising company in name, but in fact it just takes orders and then finds someone to process them. Why not do it yourself? I don't have much education and don't have this.
It’s my skill, but the shop is small, so it’s impossible to hire people. Even if I can open a shop like this in the future, what’s the use? My uncle has been working for more than ten years, and now he still rents a house to live in!”
Zheng Tianlong nodded gently. He knew that Bai Jianyun was right. Even if he could open such a shop, it would only be enough for food and clothing.
Are you going to live like this for the rest of your life?
"Oh, it's better to stay in the village. Hey, those sneaky days are so nostalgic."
Bai Jianyun shook the beer in his hand and sighed quite nostalgically.
"um, yes."
After only being out for a few days, Zheng Tianlong found that he was like an old man and began to miss him.
"Come on, drink!"
Zheng Tianlong touched the beer bottle in his hand to Bai Jianyun, then raised his hand and drank the remaining half bottle of beer in one go.
"Huh~ cool~"
Bai Jianyun wiped the corner of his mouth and said suddenly: "We don't have enough education, so don't think about a good job. However, if you work hard, you won't be able to prosper in this life."
"Oh, what other options do you have?"
Zheng Tianlong picked up a peanut and threw it up, then raised his head, opened his mouth, and caught it accurately. Since he came out, he was just thinking about getting rich, otherwise why would he leave his hometown? He sighed and
I miss you just because the ideal is full and the reality is skinny.
"Wait a minute, let me show you something."
Bai Jianyun said, walked to the corner and rummaged around for a while, then took a few things and placed them in front of Zheng Tianlong.
Zheng Tianlong took a look and found that one of them was a horse and the other was a tortoise. He took them one by one, knocked each other twice, and then said: "Listen to this sound, is it copper? But it's not pure. It's for sale."
It can’t be sold for much money.”….
"wipe!"
When Bai Jianyun saw it, he immediately snatched the thing from Zheng Tianlong's hand and said, "It's pure copper but not pure copper. Do you think it's junk?"
As he said that, he lifted it up and looked at it carefully for a while through the light above his head. Then he wiped it with his sleeve a few times and looked at it through the light, as if he were looking at a naked woman.
"What is this? Such a treasure?"
Zheng Tianlong was quite curious. He had never seen the two things Bai Jianyun took out.
"Magical weapon, do you know what a magical weapon is?"
"have no idea."
Bai Jianyun rolled his eyes, looking defeated by Zheng Tianlong. He carefully put the two wiped items on top of a box aside, and then he continued:
"Dharma weapons, also called Feng Shui mascots, can turn evil spirits into prosperity and change people's luck."
"Oh, then you hope that these two things will enhance your luck, and then you can win the double color ball or something?"
Although Zheng Tianlong said this, his tone was full of doubts. If having two things like this at home can win 5 million, then what's the point?
"If you say you have no knowledge, you really have no knowledge. For ordinary people, the function of a magic weapon is to turn evil spirits into prosperity, change luck, etc. as I just mentioned. But for us, its function is to collect and increase value.
"
"Ah? Collection and value-added? I've only heard that antiques can be collected and appreciated. This thing also has it?"
Zheng Tianlong stretched out his hand and pressed Bai Jianyun's forehead, and then said: "You don't have a fever! Could it be that you are obsessed with wanting to get rich?"
"Snapped!"
Bai Jianyun swept Zheng Tianlong's hand away, and then said: "Go away, I'm not sick, and I'm not stupid."
"Magical instruments are like antiques and can be collected. Good magical instruments are worth tens of millions. Think about it, if we can have such a magical instrument, wouldn't it be great?"
"Huh? Is there really such a valuable magic weapon?"
Zheng Tianlong said, taking a magic weapon that Bai Jianyun had put aside, holding it in his hand and observing it carefully, he found that it was a turtle, but the head of this turtle was a dragon's head, and its four feet were on a pile of copper coins and
On the ingot.
"The Dragon Turtle is the incarnation of the Dragon God and the Spirit Turtle. It is the son of an ancient divine dragon. It is a kind of auspicious beast. The turtle's back and tail facing outwards have the effect of controlling evil and relieving misfortune. The dragon's head facing towards the home can be used to bless the home.
.”
Zheng Tianlong was stunned for a moment. He found that this sentence seemed to have been in his mind, and it suddenly appeared after he took the magic weapon in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"There is a saying in Feng Shui: 'If you want to get rich quickly, fight the three evil spirits.' The dragon tortoise can be placed in the wealth position to bring good luck and fortune, and it can be placed in the calamity evil position, and it can play a role in resolving the three evil evils of disaster and year-end evil."
…
"The dragon turtle has the might and strength of the dragon, but also has the endurance and femininity of the turtle. It has the function of transforming evil spirits. If there are sharp corners that penetrate the house, the dragon turtle can be hung indoors."
…
While Zheng Tianlong was in a daze, a few more words popped up in his mind.
"What exactly is going on?"
Zheng Tianlong's eyes were blank for a while. He had never touched a magic weapon. Where did these memories of his come from?
"Tianlong, Tianlong..."
"ah?!"
Zheng Tianlong, who was in a daze, blinked his eyes and found Bai Jianyun's fat hand shaking in front of his eyes.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so stupid for no reason?"
"Oh, it's okay."
Zheng Tianlong glanced at the bronze horse placed aside and thought hard for a while but found that there was no relevant memory in his mind.
"Of course there is such a magic weapon. I personally saw a man buy a magic weapon for about one hundred yuan. Do you know how much it was sold for in the end?"
“Oh…how much?”….
Zheng Tianlong's mind was not at all on Bai Jianyun's words. He glanced at the horse placed aside, and then at the money-stepping dragon turtle in his hand. He didn't understand why he had memory of the magic weapon in his hand.
Those on the side did not.
"More than 1.6 million! This is a big leak!"
Bai Jianyun's eyes burst with sparks of envy, and he obviously wished he was that person.
"Hmm~oh~"
Zheng Tianlong nodded, thinking that it was because he held a magic weapon in his hand that memories related to it appeared in his mind?
To prove this is very simple, just hold the horse in your hand. Thinking of this, Zheng Tianlong stretched out his hand, grabbed the horse and held it in the palm of his hand.
"Win immediately, flies crawl on the horse's back, hence the name, it has the function of promoting wealth..."
Zheng Tianlong's eyes suddenly widened. He found that when he held the horse in his hand, a "memory" similar to the previous dragon turtle appeared in his mind!
"What the hell is going on? What happened to my hand? Just hold the magic weapon in the palm of my hand and it can automatically 'recognize' it? Human flesh recognition machine? Superpower? But I didn't have this ability before! What happened to me?
whats the matter?"
"Oh, I'm sorry you didn't listen to me!"
Bai Jianyun finally discovered that Zheng Tianlong, who was sitting in front of him, had been lost in thought and was not listening to him at all.
"Ah? What did you say?"
This kind of performance further proves that Bai Jianyun definitely didn't listen to what he said just now. He picked up a peanut and threw it towards Zheng Tianlong!
"Could it be...could it be that stone and those white spots?"
On the side of his head, Zheng Tianlong nimbly avoided the peanut thrown by Bai Jianyun, but this peanut also reminded him of what happened to him before - he thought of the stone that hit him on the construction site, and his finger afterwards.
He bleeds after being stabbed by something, and there are white spots of light pouring into his eyes.
This is the only strange thing that happened to me. This is the only explanation I can have for my inexplicable ability to "recognize" magic weapons.
"I bet what I just said was all in vain."
Bai Jianyun looked at Zheng Tianlong angrily, not knowing what to say.
"Hey~~~ Fatty, can I appraise two magic weapons for you?"
Bai Jianyun looked at Zheng Tianlong with disdain for a while, and then said: "Brother, do you know about magic weapons? You don't need to say anything else. If you can name them, you are considered powerful!"
"Hey, are you looking down on people? I was just pretending not to understand. Do you really think I don't understand?"
Although he said this, Zheng Tianlong was a little worried in his heart. The purpose of saying this was to confirm whether the ability he suddenly possessed was really useful.
"White fat man, this thing is called the money-trampling dragon turtle? If there are problems such as being involved in lawsuits, committing villains, poor financial luck, etc., the dragon turtle should be placed in the hall. It can not only resolve the evil spirits, but also control the Ning family. If you put it in
At the back of the house, it can gather vitality and increase the number of people."
"Ah? How do you know these things?"
The beer that Bai Jianyun brought to his mouth suddenly stopped there. He had grown up naked since childhood, but he had never heard that Zheng Tianlong knew these things.
"This... I learned it from a Taoist priest in the past two years."
Zheng Tianlong was also shocked when he discovered that the knowledge that suddenly popped up in his mind was correct. At this time, he heard Bai Jianyun ask him how he knew these things. How could he dare to tell the real reason?
"Ah! You really understand. That's great. Let's go to Wanhe Street tomorrow to have a look. If we can find a mistake, then we will be prosperous!"
Bai Jianyun was so excited that his fat face shone with oil.
"This...isn't that simple?"
Zheng Tianlong hesitated for a moment. Although he seemed to have a special ability, he didn't know whether it would work or how useful it would be.
"Hey, what are you afraid of? Just go and take a look. There's nothing to lose anyway, right? Besides, do you want to work hard all your life? Don't you want to get rich or get ahead? Don't you want to drive a fancy car and be a beautiful woman?"
Who wants to work hard all his life? Who doesn't want to be prosperous? Otherwise, who would come to the city to work? But can working get prosperous? This is impossible, so what Bai Jianyun said about picking up leaky magic weapons is one way.
"Fuck! Let's go and see tomorrow!"
…
It was late at night, Zheng Tianlong and Bai Jianyun were so drunk in the low attic that they were unconscious. Zheng Tianlong, who had fallen asleep, did not know that his body was like a magnet at this time, with traces of invisible effects invisible to the naked eye.
The air thread was floating towards him, and then penetrated into his eyes.
