Xiao Shi and his wife found a jar of good Fengtai spirit wine for Wu Sheng. If this wine were opened in Fengtai, the price would be three hundred colorful stones, but the cost of making it would never exceed ten dollars.
But it was indeed a good wine. Wan Baochang had always liked this kind of spiritual wine. Wu Sheng took the wine and went to the Shiwu Pawn Shop to have a drink with him. He also wanted to inquire about the golden lotus talisman of all things while drinking. After all, those who open a pawn shop are well-informed and have many small connections.
But not long after he left Fengtai, he came back: "Xiao Dong's family, the boss's wife, and shopkeeper Wan, where have they gone? I saw that the door of his pawnshop was closed, and there were cobwebs on the windows."
Xiao Shi replied: "I left last month, and I don't know why."
Nong Yu interjected: "He has been restless in the first half year. He said that he got the news about his two monks. Maybe he is looking for someone?"
Xiao Shi shook his head: "Does Wanbao always have a pair of Taoist companions? How come I don't know? But I see that he is not very energetic and always sighs. If he learns the whereabouts of a pair of Taoist monks, will he jump for joy?"
Nong Yu rolled her eyes at him: "Whether you are happy or not depends on what the news is! Besides, you are allowed to have it, but others are not allowed to have it?"
Xiao Shi smiled: "I am over three hundred years old, how can I compare to you and me as a young couple."
Wu Sheng also sighed: "The last time I had a drink with him, he said that day was his 360th birthday. For sixty years..."Three hundred and sixty years...three hundred and sixty years? "
In the past, Wu Sheng would never have had any thoughts about this, but after experiencing the Zu Heng calamity, he became more sensitive to the number three hundred and sixty. This is the year when the lower-level immortal gods are subject to calamity. Of course It doesn’t necessarily mean that we are stuck exactly at the 360th year of Hedao, but it may be before or after it, or it may even be ten years earlier or ten years later. In the end, we cannot escape.
However, when I thought about it, I was afraid that it would take several decades for Wanbao to practice regularly before he could achieve enlightenment. The time difference was so far that it would not be a calamity, so he felt relieved.
The medicinal fields opened in Lushan were not yet mature, and the refining of Zijin Dahuan Dan still required the purchase of spiritual materials. Wu Sheng rushed to the Jiuhai General Office, sprinkled 3,000 colorful stones on Liu Shang, and purchased a large amount of spiritual materials.
At this point, the tasks of selling elixirs and purchasing spiritual materials have been completed. The second task - to inquire about the golden lotus talisman of all things, needs to be found. I just asked Liu Shang, and Liu Shang didn't know about this talisman, so Wu Sheng plans to visit Mr. Wuchang again.
When passing by the Stone House Pawn Shop, Wu Sheng walked around again. After all, he was considered a good friend. Although he couldn't say whether Wanbaochang would come back, he still couldn't bear to see the pawnshop dilapidated and decayed, so he burned the cobwebs under the eaves of Wanbaochang's windows and doors. Clean and clear the weeds in front of the door.
When the cleaning was almost done, someone appeared behind him. Wu Sheng turned around and found that it was an acquaintance. He cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be Taoist Master Bai from the True Spiritual World. I haven't seen you for a long time. Is he always fine?"
It was Bai Luoyu, the Taoist priest of the True Spirit World, whom Wang Bu invited to meet Wu Sheng when he first arrived at Fengtai.
Bai Luoyu didn't expect it to be Wu Sheng. She hadn't seen him for almost two years, so he hurriedly responded: "I've met Wu Daoyou! I'm not a bad guy...Wu Daoyou..."
Wu Sheng said: "I don't know where Shopkeeper Wan has gone. When I came here, I saw that his pawn shop had not been cleaned for a long time. I wanted to take care of it. Is Mr. Bai here to pawn? Go back. I heard that Shopkeeper Wan has been gone for a month. Recently, I’m afraid it will be difficult to turn around.”
Bai Luoyu said "Ah": "Leaving now? It's not too late for Pindao to come, are you in such a hurry?"
Wu Sheng asked: "Taoist Master Bai has an appointment with Shopkeeper Wan?"
Bai Luoyu explained: "The month before last, Shopkeeper Wan asked Pindao to look for something that could be used to ward off evil spirits and poisons. Pindao went back to the real spiritual world, looked up to the sky, and asked for a fragrant ash glazed bead. Chuan, we made an appointment for two months, why did you leave early?"
Wu Sheng frowned and said: "I heard rumors that Shopkeeper Wan has heard about the two Taoist monks who have been separated for many years. It is understandable that he is anxious to meet. The Taoist Master wants something that can ward off evil spirits and worship poisons? What kind of evil spirit dares to appear in front of the Hedao Immortal God? "
The so-called evil poison usually refers to the fact that after the death of a monk, the spiritual consciousness is not extinguished due to various reasons. These reasons are various and strange, or the depressed energy condensed into a trend during life, or the geographical geomantic omen of the place of death is too extreme, or Or being captured by demonic cultivators and unable to dissipate, and so on.
But these evil spirits
Objects may be harmful to ordinary people, and even pose a threat to low-level monks. At the level of Lianxu and above, few people are afraid of these things, let alone the dignified immortals and gods.
Bai Luoyu said: "That's not necessarily the case. Among evil and poisonous creatures, even by chance, they can become heavenly demons. It's just extremely rare. But those with extraordinary talents like Shopkeeper Wan are an excellent body for heavenly demons. , can turn into a shell, so Shopkeeper Wan hides in the fertile wilderness and does not come out all year round. This is also his method of self-protection."
Wu Sheng asked curiously: "Shopkeeper Wan is gifted? What kind of talent?"
Anyone who can step into the threshold of cultivation is gifted. Those who can cultivate to the right level are the most gifted among all talents. Bai Luoyu said that Shopkeeper Wan is gifted, which is obviously not a gift in the ordinary sense. Endowment.
Bai Luoyu said: "Manager Wan has all the five tones, but he only recognizes the five tones. He doesn't have Huang Zhong Da Lu, so he can't distinguish the changed sounds. It's precisely because of the lack of changes that it is straight. There are few bumps on the road to practice, and you can see your talent at a young age." , far superior to ordinary people. Shopkeeper Wan admitted that he entered spiritual practice at the age of three, and became a Taoist at the age of eight. The poor Taoist was also surprised when he heard about it. So he asked for beads in Tianchang Temple, and got seven fragrant gray glazed beads, which he tied into a string and manifested seven stars. Make up for the missing sounds, and in this way, evil spirits and poisonous things will not be able to get close to you."
Wu Sheng learned it again and handed over to Bai Luoyu: "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your advice."
He curiously looked at this string of fragrant ash glazed beads, and felt that they were gorgeous and bright, with a great look and feel. They were also a magic weapon that could prevent evil spirits. He could give them to Jian Jia to play with. He was excited at the moment: "Shopkeeper Wan is not here, and I won't be able to return in the short term." Come, Taoist Master, can you give this thing to me so that I can return to the spiritual world and ask for another string to give to Shopkeeper Wan? Don’t worry, I won’t be short of colorful stones.
Wu Sheng is aware of Wanbaochang's ability to pay. If he can afford something, he should have no problem with it.
Bai Luoyu smiled and said: "What are you talking about about colorful stones? Meeting each other means destiny. I came to look for Shopkeeper Wan. Shopkeeper Wan was not there but my fellow Taoist was there. He even cleaned the dust and sweep the nets of Shopkeeper Wan's pawn shop. This is the fate of giving Tao first. Friend, as for Shopkeeper Wan, Pindao can go back and ask for it."
Wu Sheng was overjoyed and took the fragrant ash glazed bead. When he was still thinking about what he could give as a gift in return, Bai Luoyu had already floated away.
It was indeed a master's style, Wu Sheng couldn't help but praise it!
Playing with the ash glazed beads, she couldn't help but think of what Bai Luoyu said. She and Shopkeeper Wan had known each other for such a long time, but she didn't know that he was a genius among geniuses. He had already become a Taoist at the age of eight. It was really incredible...
etc!
Eight years old Hedao...Eight years old?
Wu Sheng suddenly woke up and broke into a cold sweat.
