Chapter 169: Seeking the Dharma Talisman in the Xianglou of the County House
"What? The reward has been withdrawn?"
Wei Xiaochang was startled, clasped his fists and asked, "May I ask you, brothers, when were they evacuated?"
A Xuan Dao guard laughed and said: "I heard it was the day before yesterday. Why, even you want to do some private work? The silver reward for killing the thief last time was spent so quickly?"
An old Xuan Dao Wei who was about forty years old next to him patted Wei Xiaochang on the shoulder and joked: "You are from a famous family after all. Why do you act like a poor man all day long? Stingy and greedy?"
A trace of unnaturalness flashed in Wei Xiaochang's eyes, and then he chuckled: "What I am greedy for is not the reward of silver, but the medicine powder, pills, and talismans of bad people. Whether it is to kill the enemy in battle or to practice on one's own, these are all good
Things. Dare I ask you brothers, where else can I get these in Guangyuan County?"
"This... Generally speaking, most of the elixirs and talismans used in the army are distributed uniformly by bad guys. Although the bad guys belong to the Ministry of Punishment, most of their members come from the sect of magic, known as the Seventy-Two Sects of Middle-earth.
Whether it’s elixirs or talismans, they all rely heavily on these sects.”
Lao Xuan Sword Guard is not only well-informed, but also has a very vicious vision.
He took a deep look at Wei Xiaochang: "Boy Wei, I don't think you are just here to offer a reward. Why, do you still want to slay demons and eliminate harm for the people?"
As the words fell, bursts of laughter erupted from the side.
Wei Xiaochang did not laugh along.
He looked out the window at the darkening sky and the white snow, and raised his hand to drink another glass.
The Xuan Sword Guards gradually stopped laughing.
They looked at Wei Xiaochang with a somewhat complicated look.
After a long while, Lao Xuan Sword Guard sighed softly: "I admire you."
"sharp."
"Go one."
"I can't see you still have this energy."
"Good boy, no matter what you say is true or false, I have invited the girl from Yicui Tower tonight."
Wei Xiaochang had another drink with everyone, then stood up and handed over his hands: "I won't be going to Yicui Tower tonight. I hope my brothers can tell me where I can buy talismans and elixirs in Guangyuan County?"
Old Xuan Sword Guard frowned slightly.
"Boy Wei, are you serious? The bad guys canceled the reward, either because the monster has been eliminated or there are clues. You don't want to compete with the bad guys, do you? The bad guys may not be as skilled as our army in killing enemies on the battlefield. But.
When it comes to dealing with monsters and ghosts, even a few of our brothers can't compete with one bad person."
Wei Xiaochang smiled: "To be honest, in addition to wearing masks during war, my sect also has a tradition that you must fight monsters in order to break through your own bottleneck. When a certain person left the sect in a hurry, he did not bring that magic weapon with him.
Talisman and protective pills. If my brother knows anything about it? I hope you can tell me. Wei thanked you."
Seeing Wei Xiaochang bow to him to the end? And the words have already been spoken.
The old Xuan sword guard no longer concealed anything, and sighed softly. He said in a low voice: "I also heard it when I was changing the guard. In the past half month, I have been in the northwest of the county, and further to the west of the former residence of the Nanshu Women's Palace. There is an ancient street.
Is there an incense building opened on the street? There is everything in the building? You can even buy talismans."
"Thank you!"
…
When Wei Xiaochang braved the wind and snow and arrived at the street the old man mentioned, it was almost midnight.
In the dead of night, the cold wind was like a biting steel knife, causing pain in his ribs.
More than two months ago? By chance, he left Yinmen and became a county guard.
Unintentionally showing off his martial arts skills, he was recommended by the school captain and became a candidate for the Black Sword Guard.
The next days? It can be described as smooth sailing for him.
Won the first prize in the military competition and was promoted to the third-class Black Sword Guard.
To quell the gang war in the city? Promoted to the second-class Black Sword Guard.
In the battle to annihilate the robbers in the outer city, he was even more brave and brave?
In just three nights, he beheaded nearly a hundred people and was promoted to a first-class Black Sword Guard.
If you can climb higher? It will be a small school, officially among the general schools of the Tang Dynasty, and have at least a ninth-grade background.
Even if he just keeps being Captain Xuan Dao, he is satisfied. Not only does he get a lot of salary, but he is also very respected by the people in the mansion.
There is even a folk song: The Xuan Dao Lieutenants in the county are all sons of good families, they carry their swords in their mysterious scabbards, their martial arts are the best among the three armies, they are not allowed to ride under curfew, and they guard the outer palaces!
Compared with his previous status, whether he was a humble servant of the Xu Mansion in Wenhe County or a hidden sect thief who worked for a period of time, there is a huge difference.
However, he has a secret that no one can know.
He had to kill the monster that cried like a baby.
Only then can we keep this secret.
"I am no longer the slave of the Xu family who can be manipulated by others. No one can take away what I have today! Not even monsters!"
…
In front of the small building, a curly-haired young man in military uniform stopped, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Why...there are so many people?"
He originally thought that according to what his colleague said, since the Xianglou in the ancient street, there should be no talented people.
Besides, it's snowing heavily and it's freezing cold. Who would be willing to run so far?
Unexpectedly, not only were there people there, but they were also overcrowded.
At a glance, there were hundreds of people, and they were all men.
There are scholars, rich families, and even beggars, young and old.
There are two maids on each side of the building, holding candlesticks and lamps. One is responsible for announcing the number, and the other is responsible for asking the man who wants to enter the building.
The lights upstairs are dim, the fragrance is lingering, and you can vaguely hear the playing of silk and bamboo, and the sweet voice of a woman like an oriole.
Wei Xiaochang touched his head, stared blankly for a long time, and then cursed.
"Grandma, is this the real Yicui Building?"
He had no time to think and strode towards the building, shouting as he walked: "Do they sell talismans here? I want talismans! Talismans for killing demons and demons!"
The men lining up outside the building quickly stopped him.
"Brother, you have to line up first!"
"That's right, I've been queuing here for two hours."
"Stand back, strong man! Don't mess with the rules, strong man!"
How could Wei Xiaochang care about this? He got angry and without saying a word, he opened up the dozen or so people blocking him with one palm.
The majestic martial artist, even if he restrained his strength, pushed the dozen or so idle people several feet away.
The maid holding the lamp who was guarding in front of the building changed her face slightly, and shouted: "How dare you, who dares to disobey the rules and cause trouble in front of my Gu family building?"
Just as she was going to greet the guards in the building, the maid holding the book next to her glanced at Wei Xiaochang, and then said something to the maid holding the lamp.
Soon, the two maids seemed to have reached an agreement.
The maid holding the book bowed to the people in front of the building and said softly: "This young man seems to be the Xuan Dao Guard in the county. He was successful in killing enemies and driving away thieves a while ago, so you will let him have a try first, and then
Why not?"
Although everyone was reluctant, since the maid of the Gu family had spoken, they had no choice but to give face.
Wei Xiaochang walked to the front of the building and was stopped by the second maid.
The maid holding the lamp asked: "May I ask this young master, what do you want? Rice? Gold and silver? Beauty? Or maybe it's my young lady?"
Wei Xiaochang was stunned again, thinking that these two maids were really weird and bold.
He actually sold his own lady in public?
It is unreasonable for a seller to seek glory!
Although he thought it was ridiculous, he had experienced a lot of ridiculous things in the past few days, but he didn't think about it deeply.
"I don't want any of these. I heard that in your incense building, there is a charm that can kill monsters. How much does it cost? I want to buy it."
Hearing this, the two maids looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time.
"I'm sorry, sir, although we have talismans to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits in our building, they are not open to outsiders."
"Young master seems to have found the wrong place. But since you are here, it is fate, so let's make the mistake and finish this test."
Wei Xiaochang frowned: "What test? Someone is here to buy a charm!"
The maid holding the lamp smiled and said: "Young master, please be patient. If you can pass all the tests, let alone say the talisman, this building, including our Miss Gu, will be yours. Even if you fail, you can still mention it."
Bring back the bag of rice and noodles."
The maid holding the book had already taken out a small stick of incense and quickly waved it on the tip of Wei Xiaochang's nose, then asked: "The first test, where is the master's origin?"
Wei Xiaochang originally wanted to say that he was a "son of a famous family" that he had always claimed to be in the army.
But when the words came to his lips, he said almost instinctively: "A certain person is from the Xu family."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Xiaochang suddenly woke up and his eyes changed suddenly.
There’s something wrong with this fragrance!
Could it be an illusory fragrance with added medicine?
The faces of the two maids opposite him instantly turned ugly, then one shook his head and the other sighed.
"A son born in a family? A son raised by a slave in a family?"
"I'm sorry... you failed to pass the first test. Go to the left and get a bag of rice noodles."
Wei Xiaochang's eyes cast a cold light, and he glanced at the two maids coldly: "What do you mean? I'm just here to buy a talisman! Can I sell it to X now?"
The maid holding the lamp said calmly: "I'm sorry, everything in the building is only reserved for those who are destined to be immortal. You didn't even pass the first test, let alone the subsequent state of mind, facial appearance, aura, conversation, and spirituality.
Waiting for the checkpoint."
Another maid also said coldly: "Please leave quickly and don't delay other people's tests. You may not know that my lady comes from a third-grade family, and even her elders hold important positions under Jiannan Jiedushi. It's not you."
A little Xuan Sword Guard can afford to offend him."
"you……"
Wei Xiaochang's cheeks turned red and he clenched his fists.
For a long time, under the sneer eyes of the two maids, he remained silent for a moment, walked to the other side, and picked up a bag of rice noodles.
At this moment, a burst of warm laughter sounded behind him.
"Come on, military master, they don't sell talismans, but there are talismans for sale here."
