After all, Zhang Lei studied archeology in college and had heard a lot of stories about the captain who touched gold. He still believed in metaphysics. Although he didn't know Gu Yi'an's level, he was also kind-hearted, so even if it was a psychological comfort, it was his intention, so He happily took it and immediately put his own one away.
The photographers and Li Su'e who had been watching the whole process asked to buy it. Many people were attracted to Gu Yian's stall.
Gu Yian experienced a brief peak of customer flow after Zhang Lei left. Unfortunately, there were still many people watching the excitement, and the only ones who really bought it were the photographer and Li Su'e's family.
Gu Yian didn't care. Anyway, he had already completed his KPI today. What's more, he still owed the Black Eagle Search and Rescue Team 300 talisman seals. There were also elders on the mountain who were eyeing him and might urge him to draw talismans at any time.
If she hadn't made full use of the rented stall, she would have gone home straight away after tidying up.
Zhang Lei was squeezed out of the crowd by the enthusiastic tourists and rubbed his head helplessly. Fortunately, he had completed the boss's instructions, so he took advantage of his height to say hello to Gu Yi'an and left.
As she walked, she muttered: "Ms. Gu really has a business acumen. I have become a trustee unintentionally, and I even persuaded the neighbors to help me. Can I earn back my capital? Hey, starting a business is not easy. ah!?"
After waiting for Gu Yi'an to send away those who were interested in Fu Zhuan, Xu Baozhu walked up to Gu Yi'an. Seeing her staggering around, he didn't bother to say anything. In addition to temperament, an artist also needs something. Casual and uninhibited:
"An, how long will it take you to finish it? How about morning and afternoon?"
Gu Yian looked at his watch. It was already eleven o'clock since he had been working so hard. He would have started eating fruit earlier than usual. However, he touched his stomach and saw that the chicken drumsticks he just ate haven't been digested yet, so he just kept going. The painting is finished.
Xu Baozhu knew Gu Yian's thoughts, so he communicated with those customers. In order, Gu Yian began to draw according to the customer's requirements.

In the Lan Yue Pavilion on the other side.
"Boss, I'm back."
Song Yanjun, who was drinking tea at the side, nodded lightly.
"Hehe, boss, this is what Miss Gu gave to you and Mr. Chen, and I also took advantage of it." Zhang Lei took out two peace charms from his pocket and handed them to Song Yanjun.
Song Yanjun put down the tea cup and took the peace charm. Judging from the touch and color of the yellow paper and the texture of cinnabar, he knew it was produced by Lan Yue Pavilion.
Although he ran Lan Yue Pavilion and often contacted the Taoist priests of Acacia Temple, in fact, his understanding of talisman and seal script was limited, and he did not see the difference in talisman patterns. He just felt that he could not waste his junior's efforts.
I felt very grateful for Gu Yian's reciprocation. Just as I was about to put away the peace charm, I heard the words "Wait a minute!" '.
After hearing this, Song Yanjun looked at the visitors and found an old man wearing Taoist robes and a young Taoist priest.
He has met the young Taoist priest several times. He is Taoist Master Kongming from Acacia Temple on Yunshan Mountain. He will come here every once in a while to purchase some yellow paper, cinnabar and other items.
It is said that he is the direct disciple of the master of the Acacia Temple, and he has seen the master of the Acacia Temple before, and he is not the old man in front of him.
Song Yanjun stood up and straightened his clothes. In order to show respect for the elderly and love for the young, he took the initiative to move forward and gestured to the two Taoist priests, and cast his eyes on Kongming: "Taoist Master Kongming, this is...?"
"Boss Song, excuse me, this is the elder of our Acacia Temple. We went down the mountain this time to purchase some high-quality yellow paper and cinnabar." Kongming replied politely.
Song Yanjun was really surprised this time. He turned out to be an elder of Xiangsi Temple who was obsessed with studying talismans.
I have been opening a shop in Yunshan for so long. I don’t know 100% about the staff at Xiangsi Guan, but I know some information, but this elder has the least information.
I just heard that his attainments in metaphysics were very profound. In recent years, he rarely went down the mountain. He spent most of his time in his yard, studying talismans and seals.
Most of the talismans and seals sold at the Yunshan Temple Fair were not made by him. All the higher-level talismans and seals painted by this elder had long been obtained by the upper-level people who had the information channels.
The reason why Acacia View maintains a transcendent status in Yunshan and is not sealed by Yuncheng officials as feudal superstition is probably due to two aspects.
On the one hand, the master of the Acacia Temple is running around, dealing with some things that cannot be explained by science, which indirectly maintains the stability of society. On the other hand, it is the resources replaced by the elder's talisman.
Song Yanjun still respected this expert very much. He looked at him with bright eyes and a strong figure even though he was thin, so he also exchanged rare greetings and said: "I have always heard that Elder Xiangsi Guan is very proficient in talisman seals. I didn't expect that Song I'm lucky enough to meet you today. You are indeed as fair-haired and childlike as the outside world says, and you are in good spirits."
Zhang Lei on the side was also as excited as if he had seen an idol. He was seeing a living god. I heard that this elder was one hundred, twenty or thirty years old. Look at him walking like flying.
In order to express the reverence in his heart, he also praised and said: "Elder, you are indeed well-deserved. Anyone who meets you in person will definitely not believe that you are over 100 years old. I think you are only seventy or eighty at most. You really have a talent for looking good."
Although Song Yanjun felt that Zhang Lei's praise was too superficial, he actually thought so in his heart, so he nodded slightly to express his agreement.
Kong Ming was hesitant to speak at the side, and Song Yanjun's heart skipped a beat. As expected, the elder frowned. Perhaps to show basic courtesy, a smiley expression appeared on his thin face: "Haha, I am. The elder of Xiangsi Guan is right, his Taoist name is Wu Neng, but I am actually only 68..."
Song Yanjun: It seems that I am really not suitable for small talk... Hey, it was all Zhang Lei who flattered me.
Zhang Lei: Don’t believe rumors and don’t spread them. Otherwise you should delete me...
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Kong Ming, who was usually not good at words, had to change the subject: "Elder, you just said 'wait a minute,' but what's wrong with that?"
The elder's attention was immediately attracted, and his wrinkled face suddenly became excited again. He changed his aura of yin and yang just now, and asked kindly and with a hint of enthusiasm: "May I ask Xiaoyou Song who made the talisman in your hand just now? Can you lend me a look?"
Song Yanjun was eager to be freed from the embarrassment just now, and regardless of the elder's sudden change of attitude, he handed the talisman to the elder:
"This was a gift from a friend who often frequents the shop. She and I are very close, but what's so special about this talisman?" He saw the look in Elder Wu Neng's eyes when he faced this talisman. of admiration.
"Sure enough, sure enough, is that little friend you mentioned Master Gu Yiangu from the Yunshan Temple Fair?" the elder asked.
Song Yanjun nodded, and didn't think it was strange that the people in Xiangsi Guan knew Gu Yian. After all, they were setting up a stall in their territory, so it was normal for them to know.
What surprised him a little was that this elder, who never left the door or stepped out of the house like a lady in an ancient boudoir, actually knew Gu Yian and respectfully called him Master Gu.
If he hadn't known Taoist Master Kongming personally and could confirm his identity, he would have suspected that this was a premeditated fairy dance.
The elder smiled with relief: "I asked why so many talisman and seal geniuses suddenly appeared. It turns out they were all drawn by Master Gu. That's not surprising."
"Oh? Elder, may I ask what level this talisman is? I'm really not good at it, and I only know a little bit about it." After Song Yanjun finished speaking, he thought about it, said "wait a moment", and took it out of the safe. A beautifully packaged box, carefully put on white gloves and take out the health charm inside. "Can it be half as good as this talisman?"
Under Song Yanjun's distressed expression, the elder directly took Song Yanjun's cherished health talisman, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Little friend Song, don't be so careful. As long as it doesn't get wet, there will be no problem. You have to get this talisman." It’s not easy either.” The elder’s tone was very certain.
"It did take some effort." Song Yanjun didn't hide it.
Financially speaking, it was okay, but the key was that the favor owed for getting the information was the most difficult to repay. After all, this was a talisman drawn by the vice president of the mysterious Metaphysics Association.
But there was nothing he could do. My grandfather was old and could only raise him now. My father said that if he hadn't still missed his great-aunt who was kicked out of the house by his great-grandfather, he might have died long ago.
As a descendant, there is not much that can be done, and I hope that my grandfather can live a healthy life. At least there will be no regrets until there is news about my aunt.
The elder gave Song Yanjun a slightly scrutinizing look. He didn't expect that there was also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in such a small 'thing'. It seems that the family connections behind the boss of Lanyue Pavilion should not be underestimated.
Although the elder always likes to stay in the yard and do research, he can't help but the master of Xiangsi Guan will come to him every day when he is free to analyze and popularize various things.
In order to prevent the temple master from buzzing in his ears, he could only reluctantly give up the intermediate talisman that he had finally drawn and give it to him, either to sell it or to replace the resources, so as to give the disciples in the temple a place to live. People who can buy intermediate talismans all have different backgrounds.
Neither of them knew what they were thinking about.
The elder was not one to seek fame and reputation, and said directly: "To be honest with you Song, this health charm actually comes from the Acacia View and was drawn by an old Taoist.
I am ashamed to say that although I have been studying metaphysical talismans all my life, I still have not been able to master its essence smoothly, so the success rate of this intermediate talisman is extremely low.
Occasionally, one or two of them are successful and are given to the disciples for observation, but not many are spread. Perhaps this is why it took you a while to obtain this talisman. "
Song Yanjun was greatly shocked. He did not expect that the person in front of him was the drawer of the talisman he cherished so exaggeratedly. In other words, this elder was the mysterious vice president of the Metaphysics Association.
At this moment, he just wanted to take off the white gloves on his hands without leaving any trace. His performance just now seemed a bit petty in front of the real owner.
