Everyone looked in the direction Mr. Skeleton pointed, and saw an old black long umbrella in the glass showcase.
The appearance of the long black umbrella is very ordinary. There is no commercial LOGO on the surface of the umbrella. The whole body seems to be coated with a layer of extremely rare special paint. Looking at them from that angle, they could only vaguely see a black umbrella-shaped silhouette...
The only thing not covered by that blackness is the umbrella handle of the long umbrella, which seems to be carved and bent from some kind of rare wood. The color of the old and vicissitudes of wood looks a little dull, but the surface seems to have been carefully maintained. Like a waxed metal surface, there is a streamer flashing faintly.
It was an ordinary and old umbrella, it seemed to be a real dead thing, maybe because of the glass cover, Chen Xian couldn't feel any breath from it through the glass barrier.
Leading the crowd over, Chen Xian stood in front of the glass showcase and carefully read the introduction of this product.
"A stranger in a rainy night... what a strange name..." Chen Xian murmured.
Inadvertently, Chen Xian found that many abnormal beings were approaching him nearby. It seemed that they were also interested in this weird umbrella, but when they found that Chen Xian was stopping in front of the showcase, they had no intention of leaving... In an instant, those abnormal beings who moved closer to the showcase chose to give up, and went to other showcases to find their favorite products.
"This seems to be an evil weapon." Lu Yisheng frowned, looking at the text on the product introduction, his eyes flickered with curiosity, "Isn't it from China?"
"It shouldn't be, isn't it written here..."
Chen Xian said, pointing to the few lines of small print on the product introduction.
"The Stranger in the Rainy Night was acquired in the Underground City of Liverpool, England in 1931. It is a kind of evil weapon that has a great burden on the controller. At present, the level of this evil weapon cannot be determined. Its power depends on the strength of the controller. Floating up and down, around 23 o'clock every day, this evil weapon will actively absorb a lot of vitality and... Taoism from the controller?"
Chen Xian couldn't help being a little surprised seeing this, because the so-called "Taoism" in the circle of abnormal beings has always been a vague concept for him, and it belongs to the kind of concept that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
"Dao Xing?" Chen Xian frowned, then looked at Xu Yanan, and asked modestly, "Do you understand what they mean by Dao Xing?"
"You don't understand?" Xu Yanan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Chen Xian didn't even know such common sense about religion.
"I don't understand." Chen Xian shook his head calmly and said, "I haven't understood these things before, so I don't know much about them. I only know a vague concept. If you understand, please try to describe it to me in a scientific and understandable way... What I dabbled in I have very little religious knowledge, and I don’t know as much as you.”
Hearing Chen Xian's words, Xu Yanan couldn't help showing a look of pride on her face, after all, it was difficult for her to find a chance to prove that she was better than Chen Xian.
hum...
I didn't expect Chen's big head to fail...
"Are you scolding me?" Chen Xian asked suddenly.
Xu Yanan instinctively shook her head in denial, feeling very guilty: "No!"
"Is there something wrong with my sixth sense..." Chen Xian looked puzzled, looking at Xu Yanan with doubts in his eyes, "I always feel that you are scolding me in your heart..."
"I'm not that kind of person!" Xu Yanan defended guiltily, before Chen Xian could ask any more questions, she began to explain to Chen Xian what Taoism is.
If according to Chen Xian's request, the term Dao Xing is converted into a scientific and easy-to-understand concept, then Dao Xing should be called a kind of "abnormal energy", which is accumulated by the practice of abnormal beings or aliens.
Assuming that an abnormal life or a different person accumulates 100 energy per day in the process of cultivation, then there will be 20 to 30 energy in it that will be mutated.
This kind of change can be called a qualitative change. Those energies that are easy to "volatize and dissipate" will gather in the practitioner's body, but not at the dantian as in the legend...
"Cells." Xu Yanan said in a low voice, "This is what I found out based on foreign documents and some information released by your Bureau of Secrecy. Those energies will attach or even integrate into human cells. The same is attached to the energy of the particles that make up their bodies."
The mutated energy in the practitioner's body usually does not dissipate. It is not like the "qi" gathered in the dantian has the characteristics of easy consumption. They will not be consumed as basic energy when the practitioner casts spells or fights. It is also difficult for practitioners to actively use these mutated energies.
"The body strength of the human body or abnormal life, the efficiency of energy absorption and energy extraction, the limit value of the body's energy storage... There are too many." Xu Yanan explained, "Tao Xing is the basis for increasing these abilities. The higher these abilities are, the stronger they will be.”
"According to what you said, Taoism is as important as life force..." Chen Xian frowned, looked back at Mr. Skeleton and said, "This thing is very risky, you won't be interested in it?"
Mr. Skeleton nodded, with excitement in his eyes that Chen Xian had never seen before. For this extremely dangerous evil weapon, it showed a kind of childlike excitement, as if seeing his most cherished and dreamed toy generally.
"My vitality is endless... maybe only a little weaker than yours... it shouldn't be... there will be no problem..."
Perhaps because he was too excited, Mr. Skeleton was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly. He stammered and explained to Chen Xian, as if trying to prove that the umbrella would not bring it any danger.
"I don't understand Taoism... But the energy in my body can continue to heal itself... It heals itself along with the body... I can't die... just like time can't kill me..."
Hearing Mr. Skull's words, Chen Xian thought for a while. After all, this is the first time it has been so interested in a piece of equipment since it appeared in this world... It should be considered for it both emotionally and rationally.
Should I buy it as a gift
Chen Xian thought for a while, and felt that this kind of thing is completely feasible. In any case, it should leave a good impression on this world, at least let it understand what it means to be a section chief and what it means to be...
"Wow... Oh my god!" Chen Xian swallowed back the swear words that were about to come out of his mouth, and was completely dumbfounded when he saw the price under the product introduction board. His already fair face was even more pale at this moment, " How dare this evil thing be sold for 1,800 coins?! Isn’t this an obvious robbery?!”
"Boss, did you just want to curse?" Lu Yisheng asked maliciously.
Chen Xian raised his hand and slapped him on the neck, then felt that it was not satisfying, and then slapped him again.
familiar location.
Familiar force.
For a moment, Fatty Huo couldn't help but appear in Lu Yisheng's mind.
"Eighteen million is not too expensive. I guess it's a discounted price after a discount." Xu Yanan saw the price very early, and she didn't act surprised. After all, the basic price of many powerful evil things is more than a thousand. , or thousands, or even more.
"The side effects are too great." Chen Xian frowned and said, remembering the meat saw knife he kept in the old house, he couldn't help but say, "I also bought that knife from Master Ge, and the price was only three hundred... One thousand and eight is too high."
Chen Xian just thought so, but he never thought that it was a private price given to him by the old swindler. If that weird and hideous meat saw knife was sold at the trade fair, perhaps its price would be regarded as the real sky-high price!
"Aren't you very familiar with the master of Yinshi?" Xu Yanan reminded calmly, as if he didn't think it was a big deal at all, "What are you afraid of with such a big backer behind you, just pay back the price gone?"
"He said he was doing a discount. Wouldn't it be good for me to bargain again..."
Seeing Chen Xian's embarrassed expression, Xu Yanan wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Mr. Skull suddenly spoke.
"I don't want it anymore... Go and see the other ones... Chen Xian..." Mr. Skeleton secretly tugged on Chen Xian's clothes, as if he didn't want to make him so entangled, "There are still many unseen ones over there... Go and have a look..."
Chen Xian looked at it, and saw that Mr. Skeleton's eyes were a little dodged, as if he was deliberately controlling his eyes not to look at the weird umbrella, just like a child acting like a baby to an adult and wanting to buy a toy, only to find that the toy is very expensive. It was very embarrassing... so I just gritted my teeth and refused to buy it, and tried my best to show that I really didn't want to buy it.
"Go and see, I'm going to do something and I'll be back soon." Chen Xian sighed.
With that said, Chen Xian put away the spreading parasites, then took Mu He and handed it to Xu Yanan, beckoning her to take care of it.
"Boss, what are you going to do?" Lu Yisheng asked curiously.
Chen Xian sighed again, and took a deep look at everyone.
"I'm going to buy some oranges, you stay here, don't move around."
As soon as the words fell, Chen Xian turned around silently, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"Why does he buy oranges?" Xu Yanan asked confusedly.
Lu Yisheng scratched his head and said, "Who knew he bought the oranges because... what the hell?!"
"What's wrong?" Xu Yanan frowned, somewhat disliking Lu Yisheng's sudden surprise.
Lu Yi stomped his feet angrily.
"He called us his sons!"
