The sky has just dawned, and Shanghua City is already bustling with people. The streets and alleys are full of people in a hurry, wave after wave.
Pingnan Street is a rather inconspicuous old street in Shanghua City. It is in a remote location and has not many people. On both sides of the street are small shops, most of which are small advertising companies. Their main business is to take on some small jobs.
, such as designing and printing business cards, making light signs, etc.
Hongfa Advertising Company is a company on this street.
"Uncle Xing."
After coming down from the attic, Zheng Tianlong found a man in his fifties sitting at the tea table boiling water. It was Bai Jianyun's uncle Song Xing, and he quickly said hello.
"Oh, Tianlong, that boy Bai Jianyun has told me about your matter. You will live here first and we will talk about other things later. Come, drink tea."
"good."
Song Xing was from the next village, and Zheng Tianlong naturally recognized him. After drinking a cup of strong tea, the headache caused by the hangover finally eased a lot.
"There is nothing to do today. Let Bai Jianyun take you out for a walk."
"Hey, uncle, I have this plan. I will go out for a walk with Tianlong now."
At this time, Bai Jianyun also staggered down, picked up Zheng Tianlong and walked out.
After a simple breakfast, Bai Jianyun and Zheng Tianlong got on the bus. An hour later, they arrived at Wanhe Street.
"This is Wanhe Street?"
The street in front of us is obviously an old street. It is not wide. If it is one-way, it is only a little more than one lane. There are shops one after another on both sides. There are no people coming in and out, and it is very lively.
What surprised Zheng Tianlong even more was that although there were many shops decorated in a luxurious and grand manner, there were also quite a few shops with mountains of various magical artifacts piled randomly in front of them, or simply stalls set up along the street. Such places were also the same.
There were many people turning over and picking things.
"Hey, Wanhe Street is said to have a history of hundreds of years. It is a place that specializes in selling magical artifacts. Of course, it is also a paradise for us to pick things up. Those people you see picking things at the street stalls are probably just trying to pick up things.
of."
Bai Jianyun understood these situations relatively well and introduced them proudly.
"Oh, by the way, what did you mean by picking up leaks?"
Zheng Tianlong remembered that although Bai Jianyun mentioned it last night, he did not go into details.
"Similar to antiques, picking up missing magical artifacts means relying on people's judgment or luck to buy very valuable magical artifacts at a very low price and then sell them."
"I see, it's just buying low and selling high."
Staring at Zheng Tianlong, Bai Jianyun said: "You put it lightly. Although there is an element of luck in picking up leaky magical artifacts, the more important thing is the identification of the magical artifacts. The identification must be based on the knowledge of the magical artifacts.
A highly technical job."
Zheng Tianlong looked around and said, "What kind of magic weapon is valuable?"
"Quality, materials, etc. can all determine the price of a magic weapon. For example, a beautifully made magic weapon made of the same material is naturally more valuable than a rough one; among different materials, gold is naturally more valuable than pure copper.
The price. However, ordinary people can see these, so it is unlikely that such a magical weapon will be missed."
"Oh, is there anything else?"
"Of course!"
Bai Jianyun exaggeratedly raised his right hand and waved it vigorously, and then continued: "There are two types of truly valuable magic weapons. One is made by eminent monks or Taoist priests. They have infinite magic power after years of practice.
The crafted magical instruments have a powerful aura; the second type is magical instruments that have been around for a long time. These magical instruments absorb the essence of the sun and the moon as time goes by, and also form a powerful aura."
"The most important thing is that these two kinds of magical instruments are good targets for picking up leaks: because of various reasons, few people can tell the difference between the magical instruments of famous masters or the ancient ones, so they provide us with a good opportunity. For example,
I heard a few days ago that a man on Wanhe Street found a magical artifact made by a Feng Shui master from the Qing Dynasty. He bought it for less than 300 yuan and sold it for a high price of 500,000 yuan in the blink of an eye. This kind of
One of the instruments is made by a famous master, and the other is quite old and very valuable."
"Fat Bai, it seems this is not your first time here at Wanhe Street. Have you ever picked up something?"
Zheng Tianlong's words made Bai Jianyun blush and scratch his scalp. Bai Jianyun said after a long time: "This... small leak happened once."…
"Oh? Tell me."
"Hey~ a year ago, when I just started in the industry, I bought a magic weapon for 30 yuan in a magic weapon shop. Then as soon as I left the house, someone came to me and bought it for 200 yuan."
"Is this considered a leak? I only made 170 yuan."
"Grandma, I'm talking about Tianlong, can you say something nice? No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still flesh, and this little leak is still a leak."
Bai Jianyun stared, looking very angry.
"Hey, what is this?"
Zheng Tianlong, who was just about to "stimulate" Bai Jianyun again, paused and stopped.
There is an intersection in the center of Wanhe Street, which is also the most crowded place. At this time, Zheng Tianlong and Bai Jianyun happened to walk to this place.
Zheng Tianlong, who stopped, couldn't help but blink hard a few times, but found that there was no dazzle at all. He saw an air flow like a river:
The river-like airflow flows from the other end of Wanhe Street. When it reaches the intersection, the speed slows down, then forms a vortex, and then flows towards the door of a shop on the street as if being sucked by something.
Got in.
I looked at the plaque on the door of the store and found out that it was a store called Tongfangzhai.
"What the hell is going on?"
He raised his hands to rub his eyes a few times and then looked forward. Zheng Tianlong found that the Qi River still existed.
In broad daylight, a gas-like river was suspended on the street, flowing slowly, and the cars and people on the street seemed to be immersed in this mist, but it was obvious that they were unaware of it - among them
Including myself.
After reaching out and pushing a few times, Zheng Tianlong found that there was no resistance at all. It was obvious that the river of Qi he saw was an invisible existence.
"Tianlong, Tianlong."
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Zheng Tianlong woke up with a start and found Bai Jianyun looking at him strangely.
"What are you doing? What are you pushing like an idiot?"
Bai Jianyun had actually walked forward for about ten meters when he suddenly realized that Zheng Tianlong had not followed him. When he walked back, he found Zheng Tianlong standing blankly and reaching out his hand to push forward a few times.
"Oh, it's nothing, let's go."
Zheng Tianlong temporarily suppressed his doubts about Qihe, but after taking a few steps, he couldn't help but ask:
"Fat Bai, where is Tongfangzhai?"
"Tongfangzhai? It is one of the largest magic weapon shops in the entire Wanhe Street. It is said that it appeared when Wanhe Street was built. It is a real century-old shop. The owner is Wang Gang, who is the most famous Feng Shui practitioner in Shanghua City.
One of the magic weapon masters."
Bai Jianyun has obviously worked hard and is very familiar with the situation on Wanhe Street.
"Wang Gang is a Feng Shui master? Then his shop must have a Feng Shui array?"
"That's for sure. Tongfangzhai has a very powerful wealth-gathering Feng Shui array. This Feng Shui array can suck the wealth from the entire street into the store."
Bai Jianyun lamented this. The magic weapon industry is a very profitable industry, even more profitable than antiques. Therefore, the competition in Wanhe Street is extremely fierce. Stores open and close from time to time, but Tongfangzhai has stood firm for a hundred years.
However, in addition to Tongfangzhai being a Fengshui master passed down from generation to generation, the most important thing in the legend is that Tongfangzhai possesses a powerful Fengshui array. It is the existence of this Fengshui array that ensures its continuous good luck for many years.
Zheng Tianlong was stunned for a moment and said:
"So powerful?"
"Of course, but ordinary people can't see the wealth that this Feng Shui formation attracts. Only a Feng Shui master who can predict the fortune can do it."
Feng Shui believes that wherever there are holes, there must be Qi. A skilled Feng Shui master can see the Qi in the holes and determine good or bad luck based on the color and shape of the Qi. There are many stories about looking at Qi in history, such as "Historical Records"
Records of Emperor Wen records that in the 15th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (165 BC), the people of Zhao State established the Five Weiyang Temples in Xinyuan Ping to see Qi.
This means that Xinyuan Ping told Emperor Huan that there was divine energy in the northeast of Chang'an, which looked like five colors, like a crown worn by people... Since such energy appeared, a temple to the god should be established, so Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty accepted his suggestion.
The Five Emperors Temple was built in Weiyang.
In the "Book of the Later Han·Biography of Lang Kai", it is recorded that Lang Kai was good at wind angles, astrological calculations, six-day and seven-point calculations, and was especially able to predict good and bad weather. Later, he predicted a fire in the capital based on a storm, which later came true.
Bai Jianyun had always dreamed that he could have such ability, but it was simply impossible, so he could only be envious.
"Could it be that the river of Qi I saw is the Qi inhaled by Tongfangzhai Feng Shui Formation? If so, do I have the ability to look out for Qi?"
Thinking of this, Zheng Tianlong's heart beat wildly and his tongue became dry. Bai Jianyun had just said that only master Feng Shui masters have this ability. If he has this ability, doesn't it mean that he is also a good Feng Shui master?
division?
Last night, I discovered that I could recognize the name and function of a magic weapon just by holding it in my hand. Now I have another ability to predict fortune. This is really surprising!
"Fat man, you can see your energy, do you believe it?!"
"ah?!"
Bai Jianyun froze there as if he had been struck by lightning. It was not until Zheng Tianlong had walked more than ten meters away that Bai Jianyun came back to his senses and immediately ran after him, muttering to himself as he ran:
"Damn it, is this kid really a master? If it is true, then I'll get mad!"
