After the spiritual energy in the Chunyang gourd was absorbed, it became useless waste, which he piled in the corner. There were already more than a dozen there, all of which were scrapped Chunyang gourds.
If this scene were seen by other Feng Shui masters, they would definitely become red-eyed or even collapse. How many Feng Shui masters can only make two or three magic weapons in their lifetime and take care of them as if they are treasures.
Moreover, the value of a low-level authentic magic weapon is two to three hundred thousand, which means that Xue Chen is equivalent to throwing away hundreds of thousands of dollars just by waving his hand!
Xue Chen also felt a little distressed for a while, but now he has seen through it. It is not difficult for him to make a Chunyang gourd, and the cost is only 18,000 yuan. Thinking of this makes him feel relieved.
More importantly, he had no intention of making magical artifacts to sell. Even though he knew that he relied on ancient jade and had an unparalleled advantage in making magical artifacts, he never thought of making a fortune from it.
Why? Because the big tree attracts the wind, so a gun will kill the first bird!
If word gets out that he can manufacture magic weapons in almost batches, it may cause a big stir, and it will be impossible to live a stable life. And with such a high profile, it will definitely arouse the curiosity of many people and explore the reasons.
It was also what he least wanted to see.
After finishing the most important thing, Xue Chen sat back on the sofa. He saw the shopping bag lying beside him and picked it up. He took out the five comic books from the Republic of China period and picked up the top one to read.
Got up.
This is a book that tells a story known to all ages: Three Brothers in Taoyuan.
There is a picture on each page, and next to the picture is a familiar story told in traditional Chinese, depicting the brotherly love between these three historical celebrities.
"good."
Xue Chen saw that although it was from the Republic of China period, the printing technology could not compare with modern times, in terms of clarity and paper quality, but it also had its extraordinary side.
The most impressive thing is that the painting skills are very high. The characters and scenes in each picture are depicted just right. Simple words and ink can clearly express the emotions on the characters' faces. I think the artist who painted the illustrations is not simple.
I have to say that Li Guimin's luck is really good. In this era, there are still people who would sell comic strips from the Republic of China period as scrap paper. It can be said to be strange. Of course, it may also be when selling other scrap books.
It was accidentally caught inside, and the exact reason is unknown.
It seems that these comics have not been read for a long time, and there is even a slight adhesion between the two pages. I have to open them very carefully before I can continue to read.
Xue Chen enjoyed flipping through this little book that was nearly a century old. It was quite interesting. After reading the book "Three Brothers in the Taoyuan", he picked up another book, "Havoc in Tokyo".
A small book only has a few dozen pages. Xue Chen read one in a few minutes, and the first four in a short time, leaving only the last one unread.
"Fan Li and Xi Shi..."
When Xue Chen picked up the fifth little book, he glanced at the cover and nodded gently.
Although this historical story of Fan Li and Xi Shi is not as widely circulated as the three sworn brothers in Taoyuan, it can still be regarded as a very classic love story, especially in the end when Fan Li helped Gou Jian take revenge and retreated bravely from the rapids, taking the beautiful Xi Shi on a boat trip.
The lake is even more enviable.
When Fan saw that in order to weaken Fu Chai's will, Fan Li chose two character women among the people and sent them to him, Xue Chen couldn't help but smile in his heart, secretly thinking that the beauty trap has always been so effective since ancient times.
Xue Chen gently turned to the next page. Before he could read it, Xue Chen heard a sharp sound and something caught in the page fell down and fell to the floor.
Xue Chen was surprised, bent down to pick it up, and held it in front of his eyes. He was a little surprised that it turned out to be a photo. However, this photo was obviously not from this era. It was completely black and white, and the background was obviously very far away.
.
The photo shows a woman wearing a peony cheongsam, leaning against a screen. She is graceful and graceful, with a serene smile on her oval face, giving the impression of being charming and quiet.
Looking at this old photo sandwiched in a comic strip from the Republic of China period, Xue Chen thought to himself, could it also be a photo from the Republic of China period? It seems like it should be now.
Xue Chen was very curious about the identity of this woman, so he looked at the back of the photo and saw that there was no writing left on it, so it was impossible to know who the woman in the photo was.
He looked at the photo of the woman in the cheongsam for a while, then clipped it back. After reading the last few pages, he put the five comics back into the shopping bag, walked over and put them in the drawer under the TV.
.
Just after putting away the comic strips, the mobile phone placed on the coffee table rang. Xue Chen walked over and picked it up and took a look at the caller. The name displayed was Zhang Yu.
"Zhang Yu..."
For a moment, Xue Chen felt a little familiar, but he forgot where he met him, and he didn't know when he saved his phone number. But after thinking about it for a few seconds, he suddenly remembered it. He seemed to be the vice president of Haicheng City Archery Association.
!
Zhang Yu once called him and invited him to join the Archery Association in Haicheng City. Since then, he has never called again, so much so that he almost forgot that he was still a member of the Archery Association. Speaking of which, he
I haven’t gone shooting for a while.
After answering the phone, Xue Chen said: "Hello, Vice President Zhang."
"Haha, Mr. Xue has such a good memory, he still remembers me." Zhang Yu said with a smile.
Xue Chen smiled and waited for Zhang Yu to continue.
“Mr.
I know if Mr. Xue is interested in participating," Zhang Yu said.
After hearing what Zhang Yu said about this activity, Xue Chen didn't feel too cold and wasn't very interested: "I'm sorry, Vice President Zhang, I don't want to participate."
Hearing Xue Chen's refusal, Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and then said solemnly: "Mr.
Friends, it will be beneficial to your future life and work."
"Okay, I will consider it. If I decide to participate after thinking about it, I will call you. Thank you, President Zhang, for the invitation." Xue Chen replied politely and then hung up the phone.
After hanging up Zhang Yu's call, Xue Chen put this matter behind his head. He really had no interest in this activity. He didn't think that he could really make any friends by participating in the activity. At most,
Just a casual acquaintance.
But on the evening of the same day, Xue Chen received a call from Wang Hao, and the call actually mentioned the event organized by the Archery Association!
"Xue Chen, I don't know if you have anything to do this weekend. I have something I want to help with," Wang Hao said.
"Brother Wang is so polite, what's the matter?" Xue Chen was a little curious as to what kind of things Wang Hao could entrust him to help.
"The thing is like this..." Wang Hao said that the Archery Association invited Zhao Ziming, the son of Mayor Zhao Mingquan, to participate in a youth outdoor shooting event. Zhao Ziming himself was a member of the Archery Association and liked archery very much, so he agreed.
But that activity was held in the wild. Zhao Mingquan was worried that his son would encounter an accident and planned to find a protection person to accompany him. However, Zhao Ziming refused and did not want anyone to accompany him.
When we were chatting, we accidentally mentioned Xue Chen. Zhao Ziming knew that Xue Chen had strong archery skills, so he wanted to ask Xue Chen if he wanted to participate so that he could have some company.
Zhao Mingquan thought that this was a good note. He knew that Xue Chen was reliable in doing things. If Xue Chen was there, there would be nothing to worry about. It would also be a good thing for the two young people to have more contact, so he asked Wang Hao to call and ask.
.
After hearing what happened, Xue Chen was stunned for a while. He just felt that it was such a coincidence. He had just rejected the invitation of the Archery Association in the morning, and now Wang Hao called again.
"Xue Chen, if you have other things to do or don't want to go, forget it, it doesn't matter." Wang Hao said.
Xue Chen thought in his heart that since it was Zhao Mingquan who asked Wang Hao to call, he was too embarrassed to refuse directly. Although it was nothing on the surface, there was no guarantee that Zhao Mingquan would think that he was relying on Hao Yunfeng and would not give him face. Anyway, it was nothing important.
If you have something to deal with, go ahead and just go out and get some fresh air.
He didn't hide anything and simply told the Archery Association that he had been invited.
"That's such a coincidence." Wang Hao said in surprise.
"It's quite a coincidence." Xue Chen smiled.
Wang Hao smiled lightly and said: "In that case, I will tell Ziming that you two should contact me. Ziming will please take care of me."
After talking to Wang Hao on the phone, Xue Chen then called Zhang Yu from the Archery Association and told Zhang Yu that he had decided to participate.
…
After Ning Xuanxuan's birthday party, it was just an ordinary party for the guests present, eating, drinking and having fun. Most people returned home happily, but naturally some people were in an extremely bad mood.
Xu Ming was like this. After seeing the scene in the corridor with his own eyes, his heart almost exploded. Although he had been pursuing Ning Xuanxuan for two or three years, he had not made much progress.
But the powerful young masters in Haicheng all know that Ning Xuanxuan is his "forbidden wife". Those people are very knowledgeable and no one dares to compete with him. He also believes that Ning Xuanxuan will fall to him sooner or later.
in hand.
But until Xue Chen appeared, he appeared next to Ning Xuanxuan again and again to ruin his good deeds, and every time he wanted to slap Xue Chen away, but every time he touched his palm, he was very hurt.
.
But now, the situation has exceeded what he can endure! (To be continued)
