Xuan Min's eyes fell on a jacket that was... the color was rather hurtful to the eyes, and after recalling that Xue Xianpi had been making a fuss all over the place, he chose a brief description: "The pheasant is chasing after people to peck it. ."

Boss lady: "..."

Xue Xian: "..."

Boss Slow has a pair of smiling eyes. He pointed to the hot-eyed jacket and said, "The jacket in front of Master is not bad. The color is bright and it looks fresh."

Mixed up a bunch of colors, as if just peeled off a pheasant, really suitable.

Xue Xian said quietly: "You probably don't want to live anymore..."

In the end, under the threat of the ancestor's choking and biting, Xuan Min still helped him buy three sets of ready-made clothes. The black color of Yishui'er was almost as thin as Xuan Min's own monk clothes. When placed on the cabinet, it was just like a pair of black and white impermanence with Xuan Min's mourning clothes.

When the proprietress wrapped him up, her expression was quite indescribable, as if she felt cold just looking at it, she couldn't help holding the hand warmer in her hand tightly.

When Xuan Min put the silver on the counter, the corner of her mouth twitched. He said in his heart that this monk had not been out of the temple very much, and he really had no idea about the prices of things in the market. Buying a house in this county is only 20 taels of silver, how can you throw so much money out to buy three pieces of clothes.

The boss silently picked up the small copper scale and weighed the amount of silver, while instructing the proprietress to find copper coins for Xuan Min.

When Xuan Min placed his hand on the counter, Xue Xian happened to see the knot on the counter.

He stared at the half-finished knot for a moment, poked Xuanmin with his claws, and while the couple was not paying attention, he slid to Xuanmin's neck and said softly, "Joy of surprise, look at that rope. Knot, does it look like the pattern carved under the stone lock?"

The stone lock was really heavy, and it couldn't run around with it. Xuan Min borrowed a few simple tools from the Lu family and plastered the pattern on the bottom of the stone lock. Xue Xian had been in Xuan Min's secret bag for a long time, and he almost used it as a nest. He stuffed a little bit into it without seeing anything, including the paper with good patterns and the ones he rolled at the bottom of the river. Iron plate.

Fortunately, they were all small and lightweight, otherwise Xuanmin's monk robe would have been damaged.

Xuan Min took out the piece of paper from his dark pocket and compared it calmly—

The pattern on the paper is like a weird totem, round, with a worm beast with open feet lying on the top, I don't know if it is a bat or something, and there is a cloud pattern below.

After all, there are some differences between the weaving effect of the knot and the carving. At first glance, it is not exactly the same, but after careful identification, it is indeed similar. It's just that the carved insects and beasts have a ferocious feeling in their simplicity, but the knots are quite round and tender.

Xuan Min and Xue Xian had never seen this kind of pattern before, and they had even prepared for it to be difficult to find, but they didn't expect to have some eyebrows so quickly.

"What is this knot for?" Xuan Min put away the tissue paper and clicked on the counter.

The proprietress was counting the coins according to the boss's words, when she heard the words, "Oh", she replied, "Prosperity and happiness."

She raised her head to see Xuanmin's color, and added, "It's not common, isn't it? I learned this pattern a few years ago, and I haven't seen it anywhere else, but it's really spiritual. My son is wearing this knot, It's been a few disasters, but the knot is always broken."

Xuan Min: "Where did you learn it?"

"Stone Zhang's daughter-in-law." The proprietress said, remembering that Xuan Min was probably not a local, and explained, "Shi Shizhang is a famous stonemason in our county. Yes. His daughter-in-law is a handy man and likes to make up pretty things. I learned it from her."

Stone Zhang

Xue Xian thought of the stone lock that sank under the river, and thought that there was also a stone there, and this one was also a stone, so it wouldn't be so coincidental, would it

Xuan Min naturally did not miss such a coincidence. He picked up the wrapped clothes and copper coins and asked, "Where does Shi Shizhang live?"

"Go east along the street. In Hugua Alley, there is a pile of stones at the door."

The carvers in Huizhou Mansion are well-known, and many people make a special trip to find the craftsmen here to carve some things. So the proprietress did not suspect him, and happily reported the place.

Xuan Min couldn't figure out the direction like Xue Xian, so he walked out of the door and turned into Hugua Alley.

The features that the proprietress said are really conspicuous. At the head of Hugua Alley, you can see that there is a house with stones piled up beside the door.

He lifted his foot to the door of the house and knocked on the brass knocker.

However, there was no movement inside the door for a long time...

"Is this little master also looking for Shi Shizhang?" a middle-aged man who passed by Xuan Min said, "He is not at home, I live in the house next to him,
