A gray-haired old man was sitting behind the counter, listening to opera on the radio, shaking his head and humming along from time to time.
The tone is powerful and full of energy.
I walked in and bought a pack of Chinese cigarettes, opened them easily, took out one and handed it to the old man, and asked respectfully: "Uncle, how long has the antique shop next door been closed?"
In my opinion, if Ding Changyou closed the store last month and can come back in two days, I can wait.
The old man took the cigarette with a slight surprise, stood up and turned off the volume of the radio. He frowned and thought: "Boss Ding was still here a few days ago, so it will only be closed for a few days."
Disappointed, I picked up the lighter on the counter to help the uncle light the fire, and asked again: "In addition to Boss Ding, do you know which other stores on Ghost Street I can inquire about?"
There are no ordinary people in ghost streets, this is what Lingxi told me.
Although the old man in front of him is old and seems to be frail, he can't tell which sect he is secretly.
So I kept my posture very low, careful and cautious.
I was afraid that if I asked an inappropriate question, I would be slapped away by the uncle.
Fortunately, what I was worried about didn't happen. The old man took a few puffs from the cigarette and exhaled mist from his mouth. "There are seven or eight shops selling information, and their business scopes are different. It depends on what you inquire about."
"
"Looking for people, things, treasures, or other news."
"Like Boss Ding, he specializes in providing information channels for heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Each piece of information is worth one million."
"The mahjong parlor at the end of the street deals with missing persons information. The starting price is five hundred thousand."
"Another example is the wreath shop across from me. They sell news about dead people and charge two million."
As he said that, he looked at me with a strange smile and said: "Little brother, you have entered your body with yin energy and are temporarily suppressed by the three most yang things. Whether you live or die depends on fate. I think the person you should find is Boss Ding."
"
I was shocked and pretended to be calm.
This old man is indeed no ordinary person, he actually saw through the "cause" of my body at a glance.
"Don't panic, I saw you when you came to the antique store with that girl from Kunlun years ago." The old man explained: "Girl Ling is an old customer of Gui Street. She has a good relationship with me. I won't fight you no matter what.
Your idea."
While he was talking, he walked out from behind the counter, found a stool for me, and said with a kind look: "Tell me, what do you want to ask about? For the sake of the clever girl, the old man will give you a clear way. In case you don't know.
If you know the rules and break in randomly, you will be beaten without saying a word, and you will lose face in Kunlun."
The old man meant what he said, regardless of whether it was true or not, his attitude alone moved me very much.
I bent down and bowed, then hesitantly said, "I want to get some clues about Yuan Shen."
The old man's relaxed brows wrinkled again, and he stared at me closely and said: "According to my observation, you have not practiced martial arts."
"If you haven't practiced martial arts and haven't reached the tenth level of martial arts, you won't be able to cultivate your soul."
"Wuyuan Shen, why are you asking about this?"
The old man said incomprehensibly: "You want to burn the money for fun?"
I hesitated and said: "I, I have a good friend who is concerned about this issue. Please ask me to help him find out."
The old man sneered: "Your eyes are erratic, you are obviously lying."
"Well, if you don't want to say more, I have no reason to ask."
"Yuanshen, um, when you go out, turn left, walk along the left, and then turn left when you get to the mahjong parlor at the end of the street."
"There is a tea shop on Zuo Street called Qingshan Tea House."
"When you enter the tea house, don't say anything. Let the waiter serve you a pot of "Distress Tea"."
"Remember, this pot of tea is not cheap, it costs 10,000 yuan."
"After drinking a bowl of tea, turn the bowl upside down and tap the table with your right index finger three times."
