Yin Xiuxuan read the fine print of the annotation several times, and the smile on his face became stronger. After getting up and tidying up, he used his magic talisman and ran all the way towards the county town.
Returning to Heishuimen, Yin Xiuxuan separated out a piece of the black iron ore he had obtained before, handed over another one or two, and said that he had obtained it during this trip. In this way, what else could the deacon in charge of the task say? Take a big note.
After making a great achievement, he let Yin Xiuxuan go.
Yin Xiuxuan returned to the room, put his things away as usual, then took a package and left the Heishui Gate. Yin Xiuxuan came to the county city and specially selected a package according to the method he learned from the gate.
I checked into an inn that was not named Heishuimen. After changing his clothes, Yin Xiuxuan had two fake beards on his face, and his skin looked much older. He was wearing a brand new Taoist robe, and he looked like a magic stick and an old Taoist.
Like this. If we suddenly saw him, Wei Jiang, who had been hanging out with Yin Xiuxuan for three years, might not recognize him.
This skill can be regarded as one of Yin Xiuxuan's gains in the past three years. In order to make walking easier, Yin Xiuxuan specially found secret books and learned this skill of disguise. He really fooled many people in many places.
After disguising himself, he took advantage of the crowd and left the inn. He walked straight towards Shiqikou in the east of the city. This so-called Shiqikou is the name of a place in the east of the city. It is famous for the sale of various antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and rare treasures. The whole place
Almost half of the related transactions in Taiyang County are completed here.
Of course, some of these goods are real, some are fake, some are fake and sold as real, and some are really bought at fake prices. True and false are complicated and confusing. You can’t believe everything others say. The only thing you can believe is
It could be your own eyesight.
He passed by the guards led by the disciples of the Foreign Affairs Hall several times, but his identity was not discovered. Yin Xiuxuan walked all the way to the entrance of Shiqi, looked at the stalls on both sides for a long time, and looked as if he wanted to buy something. After walking around for a long time, it turned out that
I didn't buy anything. In the end, I stepped into a shop specializing in antique calligraphy and paintings.
This store is called "Ji Gu Tong Jin". Judging from the decoration and facade, it is the largest store in Shiqikou. Anyone who works in Shiqikou knows that this store has a very strong backend.
, I just don’t know who it is. Some people guessed it was a relative of the governor, and some people guessed it was a famous person in the imperial city.
But Yin Xiuxuan knew that the real backstage of this store was the largest gang in Taiyang County - Heishuimen.
Yin Xiuxuan changed his clothes this time to avoid the eyes and ears of the sect, but in the end he entered the "collection of ancient times and the present" of the sect's industry. The reason for this is that Yin Xiuxuan knew that as long as he was within Taiyang County, he would
They are antiques and treasures that exist. As long as you can afford the price, "Collecting the Past and Connecting the Present" can get them for you.
Of course, these words were not released by "Gathering the Past and Connecting the Present", but Yin Xiuxuan knew it from within the Black Water Gate.
Yin Xiuxuan stepped into "Ji Gu Tong Jin", and a waiter who looked like a young boy appeared in front of him. A businessman-like smile appeared on the waiter's face, and he asked: "This Taoist priest is coming to Ji Gu for the first time."
Tongjin?"
Yin Xiuxuan looked around and saw that almost every guest had a similar waiter beside him, so he nodded and said: "Exactly!"
"Well, I don't know what you need, but I can let this little person introduce you to me!"
Yin Xiuxuan nodded again and said: "That's very good. I need good cinnabar and yellow paper. I wonder if your store has them."
The waiter didn't seem to think at all and replied: "Yes!"
"Oh!" Yin Xiuxuan couldn't help but be surprised by the spirit of this little waiter.
"Master Tao, please follow me!" The waiter said and led Yin Xiuxuan to a counter.
After the waiter whispered a few words to the receptionist at the counter, the receptionist went inside.
"Please wait a moment!"
"Yeah!" Yin Xiuxuan responded while looking around.
Within a moment, a man who looked like a shopkeeper came out from behind and walked towards Yin Xiuxuan with a smile. Yin Xiuxuan felt that this smile was familiar. Thinking about it carefully, it was exactly the same as the smile of Hall Master Shen Quan during the first test.
It’s not that the two of them look alike, it’s that the smile may seem friendly, but in reality it hides a murderous edge.
Finally, Yin Xiuxuan put these thoughts that had nothing to do with the present behind him and began to think about the follow-up response.
"This Taoist, my surname is Peng, Tian is a shopkeeper of this collection of ancient and modern. I heard that you want fine cinnabar and yellow paper, Taoist?"
"Exactly!"
"In this case, I want Master Dao to know that if it is ordinary cinnabar yellow paper, then the explanations from various places are general, and if it is said to be of high grade, then there are differences in both materials and craftsmanship. I don't know what it is about me.
Request?" Shopkeeper Peng said with a flash of contempt in his eyes.
"Oh, that's what you said! If I want to draw a talisman to make a pottery, which one is better?"
"It turns out that Taoist masters want to draw talismans, so naturally it would be better to choose the ones made by famous Taoist temples from various places!"
"Oh, I wonder what famous Taoist cinnabar yellow paper your store has?"
Shopkeeper Peng smiled slightly, and the philistine businessman's face also showed a hint of pride and said: "The store has a large collection, it is difficult to count them all, please take a look at it yourself!" He handed Yin Xiuxuan a booklet.
Yin Xiuxuan browsed for a long time, and finally pointed to the name of a Taoist temple and said: "Well, let's just say Ziji Temple. The name sounds very loud! How do you calculate the price?"
"Oh, since you want the cinnabar yellow paper from Zijiguan, Taoist Master, the shop won't make you much money. The cinnabar is forty taels of silver and one tael, and the yellow paper is fifty taels per stack!" Shopkeeper Peng said on his face.
Keep a businessman-like smile.
"What! Forty liang and one tael, fifty liang and one stack?" Yin Xiuxuan pretended to be shocked.
"Exactly, so that the Taoist master knows that the shop is a small business and does not accept credit."
Yin Xiuxuan cursed a few times and said: "Anyway, this transaction is only a few hundred taels, so I will buy it, Master Dao!" He took out a handful of silver.
When shopkeeper Peng saw the silver, he waved to ask for cinnabar and yellow paper from behind. After Yin Xiuxuan accepted it, he immediately walked out of the gate of Jigutongjin.
Shopkeeper Peng just turned around, seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked the boy beside him to chase him out. After a while, the boy turned around, just shook his head and said: "Shopkeeper Peng, as soon as I chased him out, the man was gone!"
"Hey!" Shopkeeper Peng patted his thigh, seemed a little disappointed, and went back to the back.
Besides, Yin Xiuxuan got the cinnabar and yellow paper, changed his clothes, and went to another smaller shop. He bought a fine brush for a hundred taels of silver, and then walked around the county town several times before returning.
Inn.
Yin Xiuxuan stayed at the inn for a day, then checked out and left the county town. He randomly chose a direction and started using the magic talisman. He didn't stop until he reached a deserted mountain forest.
After finding a cave, Yin Xiuxuan cleaned it up and took out the secret book of Xiantian Kung Fu from his arms.
Turning the secret book of Xiantian Kung Fu to the page with the talisman, Yin Xiuxuan began to carefully observe the start, transition, and intensity of the entire rune. As the son of a stonemason, Yin Xiuxuan naturally learned how to carve other people's words into inscriptions. As for the writing method,
There are some studies on strength, etc. So after spending most of the day, he finally figured out the writing method of the runes from the mess.
After calming down a little, Yin Xiuxuan took out the cinnabar, paper and pen, and then took out the tightly wrapped crystal rod from his arms.
On a large smooth stone slab, Yin Xiuxuan held his breath and concentrated, dabbed it with cinnabar, moved his brush like a dragon, and formed a "ghost painting talisman" on the yellow paper that was almost exactly the same as the one on the secret book.
After drawing, Yin Xiuxuan compared it and found something slightly wrong, so he put the drawn talisman paper aside, picked up another talisman paper, and started drawing.
