Chapter 308 The Beginning of the New Year (5)
Although this nickname seems unreliable, since it was introduced by the mourning hall Yan Ci, he shouldn't be some gangster selling movies... right?
After entering "I am Qian Xiaoyi, introduced by Mr. Lingtang" and applying to add a friend, after a while, the message came back.
No. 1 in Pantyhose: [Oh, I know you. Are you the Chinese spiritual master who beat up Zhidian? 】
The No. 1 Pantyhose in the World: [Then you are quite powerful. Although that guy is very wretched and petty, he is indeed very strong. He has so many curses on him that it is very troublesome to deal with, so No one dares to mess with him, so you have done a good thing. 】
The best pantyhose in the world: [But even so, you can't disturb me during the holidays. I haven't gotten up yet. Originally, I don't reply to customer messages during holidays, but when the guy in the mourning hall said it was you, I just An exception was made. 】
The best pantyhose in the world: [Anyway, if there is nothing urgent, come back to me in a few days. Even I want to have a pure holiday. 】
The best pantyhose in the world: [I'm afraid of trouble, so I'll send you a price list. Come to me after you read it clearly. 】
A series of messages were sent non-stop, without even a chance to reply to Qian Xiaoyi. You could feel that the other party's hand speed was so fast that there was probably an afterimage on the screen of the phone.
"I just got up? It's almost afternoon now, right?" Qian Xiaoyi looked at the time and thought to himself: "So this guy's work and rest schedule is the opposite of that of a normal person?"
< br>
Then, the other party sent a picture. Qian Xiaoyi looked at it carefully. It listed the prices of various goods and services in detail. and store opening hours.
Qian Xiaoyi said the name of this store silently with a strange look on his face: "Super·Xingchangtang..."
The business hours are at the top of the picture, for fear that others cannot see it. The business hours are marked in bold font. It opens at ten o'clock in the evening and closes at 5 o'clock in the morning. It is not open on weekends and holidays. Except for the strange opening time, it is almost like a regular store.
Look further down and you will see the price list of the products.
The first table is various magic weapons, not to mention the common ones such as magic pestle, Zen staff, and rosary beads. In addition to these, there are also samurai swords, statues of gods, crosses, holy water...
All kinds of unrelated magic weapons are gathered together. There is everything you need, and there is even a peach wood sword used by Taoist priests. It makes people feel ridiculous, but if you think about it carefully, in a big city like Tokyo, people of all faiths can Yes, it’s a mixed bag, so these things are really useful if you don’t keep them all.
The second table contains various materials for casting spells or making ghost-killing props. They are also all kinds of strange, including human blood. Of course, the back is marked as a blood bag bought from the hospital.
The third one is the highlight. They actually sell various spells. These spells are all sealed, and they are expensive and rare in variety.
Although the types of charms seem to be very few, when we were at Iwajian Shrine before, Lingtang Yanci and Qian Xiaoyi mentioned that the real good things in this store are not displayed on the surface. For sale, because the side effects of cursed items are too great, only if the buyer is sure that he has the ability to make good use of them will he sell them.
The last form is for customized magic weapons and charms. There is no specific price and an interview is required.
Qian Xiaoyi looked at the price list with interest and had a general understanding of the heir to the Xingchang family. Yanci, the mourning hall, told him that the Xingchang family was not just ordinary spirit exterminators. They basically did not accept the commission of spirit exterminators, but specialized in the business of spirit exterminators, which was equivalent to logistics personnel.
And not all spiritualists can enjoy their services. Their store is still a membership system. Only those who are recommended by other members can enter the store. Qian Xiaoyi’s recommender is naturally It's the mourning hall.
I heard that in ancient times, the Hoshiba family was a blacksmith specializing in ordering tools for spirit exterminators. Over the long years, they gradually learned the technology of sealing ghosts and made use of the sealed ghosts to cast them into various forms. A powerful magic weapon.
With the accumulation of more than ten generations, their understanding of the characteristics of ghosts and monsters has also continued to improve. Until the previous head of the family, Xingchang, the prestige of the Xingchang family reached its peak, so Xingchang was recognized by others. Known as "Doctor Ghost", it can be seen from this that their family has a rich heritage. Even if Hoshiba surrenders to the task of conquering the Rift Girl, no one dares to underestimate their family.
"Continuous research, continuous accumulation..." Qian Xiaoyi thought: "Understand ghosts and use their characteristics to subdue them. This coincides with the theory of the cognitive school. You can indeed say hello."
A few days later, Qian Xiaoyi saw that the other party's status had changed from "resting" to "opening", so that night he took Inuyama Heita and rode to Hoshiba's dojo. This place is located on the edge of Tokyo, so there are not many high-rise buildings. The yard of Hoshiba's house looks quite big. If it were placed in the urban area, the price would be unimaginable.
"It's so cold..." Heita Inuyama crossed his arms and shivered a little. January in Tokyo is also very cold. In this season, Heita Inuyama was very dissatisfied with having to ride a motorcycle on the road. He complained: " Brother Yi, the school vacation is not over yet, can’t you let me stay at home and enjoy the vacation?”
Qian Xiaoyi? Said: "You hide in the kotatsu and watch TV and comics every day. Don't you feel bored?"
"That's better than running outside to blow the cold wind in the middle of the night..." Inuyama Heita rubbed He rubbed his face, which was numb from the cold wind, and said, "Besides, why do I even have to come? I can't afford the things here."
Qian Xiaoyi said: "If you don't come, how can you help me run errands in the future? Of course you have to come over to get familiar with it. Besides, I heard from Mr. Lingtang that there will be a lively welcome ceremony for guests who come here for the first time. "
"Welcome ceremony..." Inuyama Heita shrank his head: "It sounds bad, and is this place really open?"
Hoshiba's mansion? The door was closed tightly. Today's weather was not very good. There were thick clouds in the sky, and there was not a trace of moonlight. The surrounding street lights were also a little dim, so the mansion in front of them looked like a ghost house.
"If anyone is there, just ask." Qian Xiaoyi walked to the door. Under the door number was an intercom. There were two intercoms, one of which said "Xingchang Home" , one said "Super·Xingchangtang", so Qian Xiaoyi pressed the button of the second intercom.
“This is [Super Star Hall].” After a while, the intercom was connected, and a man’s voice came from inside. Qian Xiaoyi raised his head and looked at the monitor on the door. , waved his hand.
"Oh, I saw you." A man's voice came from the intercom: "Is it Mr. Qian? The door is open. Come in by yourself. Remember to keep your voice down, someone is sleeping at home."
With a creak, the door of the mansion opened, and a row of stone lamps lit up along the road, seeming to welcome them.
"Let's go in." Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita took steps and walked into the yard.
