Chapter 139 Jing'an Essay Statue
After preliminary interrogation of several prisoners, I knew that it was not because of the grudges in the secret realm or anything else, but someone was planning to target me.
It was only because he accidentally exposed his identity that he was attacked, robbed and killed. Speaking of which, it was Chen Ziya who was implicated.
This puts Lin Changqing at ease. At least he is in the mood to accompany Chen Ziya to the street stall square.
Because they took medicine to heal their wounds in the suite in the morning and interrogated several prisoners, it took some time. It was already noon when the two of them stepped out of the hotel door.
But it doesn't matter, the time is just right, Dongyangfang City is quite big, and it feels similar to the Fangshi in Qingyun City.
The two walked for a while and asked people before they found the Street Stall Square, but there were other gains. At least Lin Changqing already knew where Wanbao Pavilion and Gambling Stone Square were.
Just wait until you finish shopping with Chen Ziya at the street stalls, and then stop by Gambling Stone Square to take a look when you come back.
Today is not a special day. There are not many people setting up stalls, but compared to those on the first floor of the passenger ship, there are many times more. At a glance, there are about six or seven people in the square. There are hundreds of stalls.
It was enough for Chen Ziya to watch for a long time. Lin Changzhi followed her, paying a little attention to her, and then also searched for things he was interested in. Of course, the most important thing was to find halo items. .
Next are spiritual seeds, elixirs, spiritual plants, spiritual herbs, and spiritual crystals, as well as some things his mother needs to make talismans. They are all the targets he is looking for.
After visiting a dozen stalls, he came across a stall selling books. There were dozens of books on it. Lin Changqing took a closer look.
Many of them are ordinary and common Kung Fu secrets, such as Thick Earth Kung Fu, Fiery Flame Kung Fu, Dead Wood Kung Fu, and so on. Of course, there are also introductions to alchemy and weapon refining.
But what Lin Changzhi was interested in was the "Xu Jing'an Talisman Essays" placed in front of the stall owner. It seemed that it should be the Talisman Master's Talisman Making Notes or something like that.
Took it over and browsed through it. There is quite a lot of content in it. The front part is the insights and notes on the more common talisman drawing, and there are some things at the back that Lin Changqing has never heard of. It seems that this is A notebook from a high-level talisman master.
My mother probably needed and liked it, so she asked directly: "Boss, what kind of essay does this book cost?"
The stall owner was a middle-aged monk. He glanced at Lin Changzhi and introduced: " This is the talisman making notes of a high-level talisman master. Although it is not a talisman inheritance, it is still very precious. Seeing that you are knowledgeable, I will accept five hundred spirit stones from you."
Lin Changqing rolled his eyes after hearing this! , you can make as many copies of this thing as you want, it just takes some time, and it actually requires five hundred spirit stones!
Lin Changqing started bargaining and said: "Thirty spirit stones, you can make as many copies of this thing as you want, it just takes some time. I believe you don't even know how many copies have been sold."
The stall owner shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no, no matter how many copies are made, the content above will not change. They are all high-level talisman making notes.
It is a very valuable experience in making talismans. It is guaranteed to be genuine and will definitely save the talisman master from making many detours.
If you really want it, I will sell it to you at a cheaper price of 450 spirit stones! "
Lin Changqing also shook his head and said: "It's too expensive. I'm not a talisman master. I just bought this as a gift to my elders. I can't afford it with 450 spirit stones. I'd better find something else." Gift it! ”
After that, he put down the essay and walked to the next stall.
The stall owner selling books was in a hurry. He had sold dozens of copies of this thing, near Dongyangfang City. Most of the Talisman masters have one copy, and they haven’t sold much in the past year or two
Could it be that I met another interested monk today, so I can't just let him go.
The stall owner hurried over, grabbed Lin Changqing, and said: "Thirty spirit stones are indeed too few, please add more."
Lin Changqing thought for a moment and said: "Yes. "No, I'm adding five, thirty-five spirit stones?"
The book stall owner felt as if he had been punched, and said while holding his breath: "The minimum is a hundred spirit stones!"
Lin Changqing saw that his face was turning red. After thinking about it for a while, he agreed.
In fact, he didn't expect that he could buy this high-level talisman-making notebook with thirty-five spirit stones. The price of one hundred spirit stones offered by the stall owner was within Lin Changqing's acceptance range, so he agreed.
Then Lin Changqing paid the spirit stone, took the Talisman Making Essay and left.
Chen Ziya saw Lin Changqing buying a talisman-making notebook and asked: "Brother, are you still a talisman-maker?"
Lin Changqing smiled and explained: "No, buy it It's for my mother, she is the talisman maker and she should like it." Chen Ziya nodded and kept this information in her heart.
The two of them continued to walk forward, and there were still a lot of miscellaneous things on the street stalls. After walking a few steps, Chen Ziya would find one or two things that she didn't know before, so she would ask the stall owner about them, but she asked a lot of questions, but she didn't buy them.
I feel like she is here to gain knowledge, not to buy things and pick up missing items.
Soon, more than a hundred stalls were visited, and Lin Changqing collected twelve demon-luring grass seedlings, all of one or two years old, at the price of each five-spirit stone.
There are also several common elixirs, all of which are live plants and can be replanted. Chen Ziya has not opened one yet.
But seeing that she was in a good mood and didn't seem to mind very much, Lin Changqing felt relieved.
After visiting more than 200 stalls, Lin Changqing inadvertently looked up. In the first few stalls, there was a two-foot-tall thing that was emitting a golden, yellow, and red halo. He did not dare to stare there for too long. I am afraid that the stall owner will find something unusual.
This is the first time Lin Changqing has seen such a halo. In the past, they were all colorful or single-color halos, but this is the first time he has seen a three-color halo.
Trying to stay calm, not daring to show any flaws on his face, after visiting the first few stalls, he finally came to the stall that emitted a halo.
This is a sundry stall with all kinds of messy stuff, including half-old storage bags, low-level damaged magic weapons, a few old-looking exercise secrets, and There are quite a lot of dried elixirs, herbs and the like.
The three-color halo is a wood carving. To be precise, it is an Arhat statue. The surface is covered with dark patina, giving it a mottled smell of vicissitudes of life.
There are also Buddhist sects in this world, but within the sphere of influence of the six sects, Buddhist cultivators are rarely seen. Now that he encountered a treasure that was obviously Buddhist, Lin Changqing was a little hesitant.
Karma is the most important thing in Buddhism. If you take this treasure, it is equivalent to forming a certain cause and effect with Buddhism. Lin Changqing has so many secrets in his body that he really doesn’t want to attract too much attention.
But I still asked the boss: "Boss, why do you still have Buddhist stuff? Can I take a look?"
The boss was an old monk. Hearing this, he glanced at Lin Changqing and said He introduced: "Many of the things here were given to me by fellow Taoists who set up stalls in the same industry. It has been too long and I don’t remember who they were. If you are interested, just take them over and have a look!"
From The stall owner took the Luo Mei Buddha statue in his hand and observed it carefully. It should be a sculpture of an Arhat subduing a dragon. It was at least a master's craftsmanship. The sculpture was very flexible, lifelike, and bright.
The quantity purchased is moderate, and the material should be first-level spiritual peach wood, which is the same as the lightning strike wood in Lin Changqing's storage bag, which is the trunk of the spiritual peach tree.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Boss, how many spiritual stones does this statue cost?"
The stall owner said: "It's rare that someone likes it, so it's cheaper, five hundred spiritual stones!" "
When Lin Changqing heard this, he thought he was going to be slaughtered as a fat sheep! Counteroffer: "This is an ordinary first-level spiritual peach wood. Do you think it's worth five hundred spiritual stones? Fifty spiritual stones! It's a gift for the elders. It's too expensive to afford."
< br>The stall owner shook his head repeatedly and said: "What I sell are Buddha statues, not spiritual peach wood, but three hundred spiritual stones! This Buddha statue is quite old, and the carving is very lifelike and lifelike. It can be regarded as an antique."< br>
Lin Changqing sighed: "It's too expensive, eighty spirit stones, I can't afford any more."
The stall owner thought for a moment and said firmly: "It's the cheapest, I'll give you two hundred spirit stones." ."
Lin Changqing shook his head, put down the statue, and said to the stall owner: "Sorry, I can't afford it!"
He left the stall, thinking that it was okay, there was no need to fight with him. Buddhism has established cause and effect.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I took two steps, the stall owner caught up with me and said, "Here it is, here it is, I'll sell it to you"
Lin Changqing was a little confused, wasn't he very firm? Why did you sell it? But now that it was like this, Lin Changqing could only pay eighty spirit stones to the stall owner.
Take the Arhat statue and put it in the storage bag. Let’s study this slowly when we get back!
