Saturday, August 26th.
It’s the thirteenth day that summer vacation officially begins.
Zhuo Yi was in an unusually good mood that day because he received an invitation from his cheap master Wang Ling to go with them to the flower and bird market from more than ten years ago to look for clues about the scabbard.
Regarding the person who sold the scabbard, Wang Ling had already investigated almost all of it. There were stall numbers in the flower and bird market, and the shop that sold the sword was still in business.
Zhuo Yi drove there with Wang Ling. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a banner of 'Ten Years Gold Medal Shop' hanging at the door of the old shop. The flower and bird market has gone through many changes in the past ten years. How can this shop be so successful? If it has not failed for ten years, it can be regarded as having its own abilities.
Wang Ling followed behind Zhuo Yi. He was wearing a hooded blue sportswear. He put his hands in his pockets expressionlessly and looked unhappy. But in fact, this was his normal state, and Zhuo Yi had long been used to it.
The method to identify whether your master is angry is also very simple. Just look at whether the dead fish eyes have shrunk. If the pupils shrink, it means you are angry... If you want to relieve anger, you should prepare dry noodles at this time. For every micron of shrinkage, you can use a pack of dry noodles to dissolve it.
It won’t work if you give too little, but it will be easy to drift away if you give too much…
Zhuo Yi felt that only he could restore his pupils to normal levels.
"Is the boss here?" Zhuo Oi was still wearing his usual work uniform, looking like an elite.
"Welcome, you two. Let's see what you want to buy? Our boss has just gone out to do some shopping and will be back in a minute. I'm Ling Huan." The person hosting the reception is the shop's clerk. Zhuo Yi and Wang Ling are the first people in their shop today. Customer, Ling Huan smiled happily.
Wang Ling scanned the environment of the store and found that it was a shop that specialized in selling magic exorcism devices. There were various kinds of magic exorcism devices on the walls and in the cabinets.
Wang Ling still remembered that at the beginning of school, Teacher Pan taught them the basic skills of summoning and removing spirits in Teacher Pan's Fuzhuan class. But in fact, whether it is summoning spirits or removing spirits, what they have learned is only superficial.
In Jindan University, there is a special exorcism major, where summoning spirits and removing spirits are both professional courses.
"We are a long-established shop in this flower and bird market. We specialize in exorcism and are very honest. Let me give you a brief introduction!"
The store clerk Ling Huan was very enthusiastic. He pointed to the counter at the front: "Have you guys seen the mahogany sword, yellow talisman, wooden fish and candles in this glass counter? This is the royal weapon of Mr. Zhengying, the king of corpse exorcism back then. These items were also bought in our store! Although they are now obsolete products, our store still recycles them at a high price and puts them here as treasures of the store.”
"Sell it?" Zhuo Yi raised his eyebrows.
"Not for sale."
Ling Huan shook his head righteously: "The treasures of the store are not for sale."
"Ten million." Zhuo Yi raised a finger.
Ling Huan took a deep breath: "WeChat... or Alipay?"
Wang Ling: "..."
Zhuo Yi: "Where is your moral integrity?"
Ling Huan sighed and said resentfully: "These days we are all just trying to make a living, how can we survive if we have to be moral?"
"Besides the boss, are you the only one in your store?" Zhuo Yi asked. He couldn't bear to dampen the enthusiasm of the clerk, so he took out a tip of 500 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Ling Huan's pocket.
Ling Huan's enthusiasm was ignited again, and his tone changed: "Hahaha! It's true that I'm the only one, I just show the shop to the boss. But I've been working for a long time! I'm the only boss. Our bosses are more I’m very busy, and I have to take care of the work of exorcism on a daily basis.”
Zhuo Odd nodded and took out Jingke's photo from his pocket: "Have you seen this peach wood sword? I bought it from your store ten years ago."
Ling Huan's expression suddenly became serious: "Ten years... This is already out of warranty. Our store has unified regulations that products cannot be returned after 10 minutes of sale! If it is due to accidental damage, a certificate must be issued! Prove that it was accidental damage! "
"..." Wang Ling and Zhuo Yi took a breath at the same time.
Profiteer!
Zhuo Yi: "I'm not here to return the goods, I just want to ask about the origin of this mahogany sword, since it was sold by your family. Do you know the origin of this sword? Because when I bought it back, this sword didn't have it. The scabbard, we want to find clues to the scabbard.”
"Is that so?"
Ling Huan breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately frowned: "Ten years ago, our family didn't have the habit of serializing products. Before, all purchases and sales were made by hand. Ten years ago... a peach wood sword like yours was It’s a hot-selling product for exorcism! At that time, Mr. Zhengying started a peachwood sword trend, and a good peachwood sword can fetch sky-high prices in the market.”
"Is the manuscript still there? I want to check it," Zhuo Yi said.
"Unfortunately, there was a fire in our shop five years ago, and all the handwritten purchase orders were burned."
Ling Huan spread his hands and took a closer look at the photo provided by Zhuo Yi: "However, although the peach wood sword is old in style, we should still have it in our old warehouse. If you want it, I can look for it. "
"998?" Zhuo Yi asked.
"That was the price ten years ago."
Ling Huan said: "Now it's 9 yuan and 9 cents."
Wang Ling: "..."
Zhuo Yi: "..."
Ling Huan: "After the Taomu Sword was eliminated, it is now a preschool education toy. It is basically sold to kindergartens as early childhood education products. It is used to cultivate interest in the spirit sword for children in the middle and upper classes of kindergartens."
Just as Ling Huan was explaining the situation, a middle-aged uncle with a mushroom head stepped into the store. The uncle was very tall and stood like a giant bear. The shadow directly covered Wang Lingdu. Covered.
"Boss." Ling Huan greeted the huge shadow.
Seeing his boss return, Zhuo Oi was about to ask him about his situation, but he didn't expect his boss's expression to change drastically after seeing him: "Damn it! Copy!"
Zhuo Yi: "???"
Wang Ling: "..."
Then, the boss swung his big arm like a steel cannon and punched Zhuo Yi in the face.
Do you need help
Wang Ling stared at Zhuo Yi and said calmly.
"How can Master take action for such a trivial matter..." Zhuo Yi snorted and took a lunge. The muscles and veins in his body vibrated like earthworms, and streams of spiritual energy burst out from his body, condensing into a... in the void... Huge raccoon!
"The raccoon licks the dog and punches immeasurably!"
The raccoon made of spiritual energy stuck out its tongue and blocked the boss's fist with only its tongue.
Wang Ling stared at the raccoon in fascination and couldn't help but applaud... This set of self-created boxing techniques was really exciting!
