Chapter 86 Chen Laodao
After Song Qingming came to Qinghefang, he was busy for another half a year. During this period, Song Qingming patiently learned how to run a store, and he was already familiar with the Song family's store. I am very familiar with the transactions in the store.
During the years of training in Guiyunfang, Song Qingming read a lot of various classics in the world of immortality in the Guiyunfang Merit Pavilion, including many books introducing various spiritual objects. This also had a great influence on him. Learning to run a store here helps a lot.
Nowadays, Song Qingming has basically left all matters in the store to Wang Cheng and several mortal clerks of the Song family. Only when he encounters difficult customers or spiritual objects that they cannot identify, Only then would they ask Song Qingming to make a decision.
Wang Cheng is a casual cultivator hired by his fourth uncle in Qinghefang. He is about the same age as Song Qingming, but their cultivation levels are quite different. Song Qingming is already a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator. He His cultivation level is only at the fourth level of Qi refining.
But as Song Changqiu said, Wang Cheng is a relatively honest person. Like his fourth aunt, he is also a monk from Qinghefang. Song Changqiu hired this person mainly because Wang Cheng had a relatively innocent background and was surrounded by people around him. There are also many tribesmen living in Qinghefang.
If you rashly hire casual cultivators from out of town to manage the store, you will inevitably be afraid of the appearance of some desperadoes who are motivated by money. After all, people’s hearts are at odds with each other. Whether they are cultivators or ordinary mortals, you will not be able to do it in a short time. It is difficult to judge whether a person is good or bad.
Song Qingming now spends most of her time in the back hall of the shop. In addition to practicing, she also has a lot of free time to make spiritual talismans and earn spiritual stones.
The store that Song Qingming is responsible for usually purchases various low-level spiritual objects and talisman-making materials. It is not difficult to collect these low-level materials in the market. After arriving here, Song Qingming uses his own The skills of the talisman master are such that many talismans have been drawn on his body in more than half a year.
He put these talismans directly in the Song family's shop for sale. Qinghefang was full of casual cultivators with low cultivation levels. The middle and lower-grade talismans produced by Song Qingming were very popular here. In his spare time, , he also used the materials received in the shop to create several sets of formations and placed them in the shop, attracting many casual cultivators.
On this day, Song Qingming was meditating with his eyes closed in the back hall. A mortal clerk from the Song family in the shop hurriedly came to his door.
The waiter raised his hand and was about to knock on the door. Unexpectedly, the door suddenly opened from the inside. Song Qingming ignored the surprised look of the waiter and asked softly: "Why do you come to see me?"
"A guest brought a special spiritual object. Master Wang Xian didn't recognize it. Let me invite you to come and have a look."
Song Qingming didn't say anything, just lightly He nodded lightly and walked forward.
His cultivation has now broken through to the late stage of Qi refining. When he meditates and practices, his spiritual consciousness is spread ten feet away, and he can easily sense the movement in most places in the store. When this guy came to see him just now, He was already sensed by his consciousness even ten feet away from his door, so he just appeared at the door in advance.
Song Qingming had just walked to the front hall of the shop and saw several monks in the shop checking out the sales of spiritual objects. Following the guidance of the clerk, Song Qingming immediately saw a man with a long beard standing next to Wang Cheng not far away. The old man in yellow clothes has a high level of cultivation and has reached the late stage of Qi refining.
Wang Cheng is holding a green elixir in his right hand and is talking to the old man in yellow about the elixir in his hand.
Song Qingming, who was about to walk over, suddenly stopped. After taking a closer look at the old man in yellow, he turned and retreated into the back hall.
The Song family guy who had been following him suddenly felt a little confused when he saw Song Qingming returning suddenly. He didn’t know what happened and didn’t dare to ask, so he could only chase Song Qingming back. Arrived at the back hall.
"Go and talk to Wang Cheng and ask him to take the guest to the side room in the back hall first and entertain him well. I will come over in a minute." After returning to the back hall, Song Qingming faced the person behind him. The clerk whispered and asked him to go and inform Wang Cheng. Then with a sneer on his lips, he took out a set of formation flags from the storage bag.
After a while, Wang Cheng led the old man in yellow to the back hall. After inviting the old man to sit down in the side room, he asked the waiter on the side to serve tea.
"Senior, our boss will be here soon. Just talk to him directly about the following matters. Junior will go out first. You can chat slowly." After saying this, Wang Chengcheng smiled and left.
The old man in yellow had just taken a few sips of tea. After a while, he saw a young man in green pushing the door in. He quickly put down the teacup in his hand and stood up.
"This old man, I am Song Qingming, is the person in charge of this store." Song Qingming walked into the room, first introduced himself, and then bowed to the old man in yellow.
After the old man in yellow clothes saw Song Qingming, his expression suddenly changed, and then he pretended to be calm and asked: "My fellow Taoist, you are so polite. My surname is Chen. I look familiar to you. I wonder if you have met the old man somewhere before." ?”
"Senior Chen can still remember. It's not easy for me. Ten years ago in Qinghe County, you encountered the Yingchao Ridge robbers outside that day. Senior, I still remember." Song Qingming knocked lightly. table, and said slowly.
The old man in yellow clothes sitting next to Song Qingming in front of him is the old Taoist priest who Song Qingming met on the way back to Lingyuan Mountain from Funiu Mountain ten years ago.
Back then, Chen Laodao was being chased by robbers, and he happened to meet Song Qingming who had just come down the mountain. Later, he dragged Song Qingming in too, almost causing him to die in the Yunwu Mountain.
Song Qingming did not have such a bad memory as Chen Laodao. Song Qingming had never forgotten this old Taoist priest who was almost sent to a dead end in the past ten years.
As soon as Song Qingming walked to the front hall of the store, he immediately recognized Chen Laodao, and then specifically asked Wang Cheng to take him to the back hall.
When Chen Laodao heard Song Qingming talking about this incident ten years ago, he immediately recognized Song Qingming. He looked at Song Qingming with some surprise and said:
"You are the one that day? Xiaoyou Song, I thought you were in trouble. I really didn’t expect to see you again. Not only did you get out of danger, your cultivation level also improved. He was really blessed by God so quickly.”
“Daoyou Chen was in jail that day, and he managed to escape through me diverting some of his energy. If I hadn’t used a life-saving card given by my elders. High-grade spiritual talisman, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to see fellow Taoist again today." After Song Qingming finished speaking, he smiled and filled another cup of tea for Chen Laodao.
“When I was in trouble, I had no choice but to ask for help from my little friend to survive. Later, I was able to escape by luck. Afterwards, every time I think about what happened that day, I feel guilty. I can see Xiaoyou Song again today, and I feel guilty. It’s a wish fulfilled. ”
Chen Laodao touched the beard at the corner of his mouth, smiled awkwardly, and then took out a high-grade spiritual talisman from his body. He put it on the table with some reluctance and continued to say to Song Qingming:
"Back then Since I wasted a little time because of my old ways, My friend has a high-quality talisman. Today, God has allowed you and me to meet again. I must be here to make up for this talisman. I hope you don’t dislike it.”
