Chapter Eleven: Peach Wood Sword(1/2)
Chapter 11: Peach Wood Sword
"Only by cutting off relations and never meeting each other, you can avoid disaster."
Liu Yuanguang will never forget this sentence, which gave him good luck in his career, but also brought him spiritual torture. From then on, he avoided his parents and did not see his younger brother: "All this is fate."
The past kept flashing in his mind, and Liu Yuanguang felt like he was overwhelmed with aged vinegar. It felt very uncomfortable, and he didn't sleep well all night. When he woke up, he felt like he was sick and could not raise any strength.
However, Liu Yuanguang didn't think much about it, just pretended that he was sick and went directly to the hospital for examination. However, after a lot of examinations, the doctor told him: "Mr. Liu, all the functions of your body are normal. Maybe because you didn't have a good rest, you'll be fine after going back for two days."
Whether the body functions are normal or not, Liu Yuanguang himself knows better than the doctor. After cursing the quack doctor, he couldn't help but remember what Qin Xuebing said, and was shocked: "I won't really live this year, right?"
Liu Yuanguang was born superstitious. Once he had this kind of thought, he felt extremely frightened and immediately drove to Master Yuan Hongyuan's residence for help.
Yuan Hong has been in the capital for nearly twenty years, and has been in and out of wealthy courtyards. He is highly respected and is definitely not an ordinary witch of the martial arts world. Otherwise, if he would have deceived the powerful and powerful, he would have been discovered and would have been dismembered by others.
Strictly speaking, Yuan Hong is considered half a person from Qimen. He has obtained the broken Feng Shui Physical Sutra and studied the "Ling Qi Sutra" for half his life. He has some skills.
In addition, he was born in the world and was good at dancing, so he finally made a breakthrough in today's situation.
"Mr. Liu is infected with Yin evil, and he is afraid his life will not last long." Although Yuan Hong could not see that Liu Yuanguang was hit by the talisman, he could barely see that Liu Yuanguang's seal hall was black and plagued by Yin evil. As for the saying that his life would not last long, he could just say it.
"Master, you must save me." Liu Yuan's barefoot softened and he quickly asked for help.
"I can't save you." Yuan Hong sighed. If it were an ordinary evil spirit, it would be resolved by basking in the sun. But he was powerless like Liu Yuanguang.
Liu Yuanguang only thought that Yuan Hong wanted benefits like before, so he quickly promised a lot of benefits, but to his surprise, Yuan Hong was unmoved this time and kept saying that he was powerless.
Yuan Hong is greedy for money, but he knows the pros and cons more clearly. If he takes Liu Yuanguang's benefits but cannot resolve the Yin evil, he will definitely attract Liu Yuanguang's hatred. Maybe Liu Yuanguang will pull him to the back.
"But it's strange that Liu Yuanguang doesn't look like a short-lived ghost." Yuan Hong wondered. He told Liu Yuanguang a lot of fortunes many times, and knew that Liu Yuanguang's fate would not live long, but it would be no problem to live for sixty or seventy years.
But what about now? The seal hall is black and tainted by evil spirits. If you can't get through, you may die at any time.
"But if you die, it will be clean." Yuan Hong couldn't help but think of a past event. That time he conspired with someone and fooled Liu Yuanguang, almost cheating Liu Yuanguang for the rest of his life. He is still afraid of being exposed, which has become a knot in his heart.
But if Liu Yuanguang dies, there is no need to worry anymore, and the knot in his heart will be solved.
"Boss Liu, Boss Qian has my phone number here. If necessary, I can help you resolve the disaster. Of course, it is paid."
After a desperate effort, Liu Yuanguang finally remembered what Qin Xuebing said: "Do you really want to ask for that kid?"
No wonder Liu Yuanguang hesitated. Qin Xuebing was too young after all, and he didn't look like a so-called master at all. Moreover, Master Yuan, who was regarded as a god by him, could not resolve the Yin evil. What would Qin Xuebing do, a young boy?
"Since he can see, there should be a solution." Liu Yuanguang finally decided to give it a try. No matter what, life is important, and other things are small.
Qin Xuebing came to the hospital with fruits and happened to meet Liu Yuanmei at the door of the ward: "Sister Yuanmei, how is Grandpa Liu's health? What does the hospital say?"
"After taking the medicine, it's not that uncomfortable. The hospital is preparing to arrange an operation to make the elderly recover faster." Liu Yuanmei looked at Qin Xuebing gratefully. If it weren't for Qin Xuebing, the elderly would probably die soon due to the torture of illness.
"That's good, I'll go in and see the old man first."
Qin Xuebing walked into the ward and put the fruit basket in place: "Grandpa Liu, I'm here to see you."
"It's Xiao Qin, sit here and talk to me old man." The old man seemed very happy to see Qin Xuebing. If it weren't for this enthusiastic young man, how could he lie comfortably in the ward?
Moreover, the grandson and granddaughter of the second son and the third son's family have also come to visit these two days, so he is so happy.
After chatting with the old man for a while, Qin Xuebing was also happy for the old man. At such an old age, he was finally able to enjoy his old age. After a while, Qin Xuebing asked about the important matter: "Grandpa Liu, did your ancestors live in Hangzhou?"
"How do you know?" Grandpa Liu couldn't help but be curious. He had only mentioned these things to his son and daughter in his early years, but so many years have passed, I guess he had forgotten them.
"In that bag of copper coins, there is one of them that was suspected to appear in Hangzhou in the late Qing Dynasty, so I want to ask and find out its origin."
Qin Xuebing said: "According to historical records, the copper coins were collected by famous scholar Dai Xu during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Will your ancestors be related to Dai Xu or Dai's house?"
"Then you really asked the right person."
Grandpa Liu was very happy to help Qin Xuebing: "When I was a child, I heard from my grandfather that my great-grandfather was very rich in his family, and his great-grandfather also liked to collect copper coins. According to my grandfather, the copper coins at home could have a larger box at that time."
After a brief pause, Grandpa Liu said again: "After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement, my family invested in buying Dai's house. It is said that it was to find a copper coin. As for whether it was found, it is unknown."
"That should have been found." Qin Xuebing couldn't help laughing. Quejiao Daqi had been born, so how could it be found? However, there were too many people looking at Quejiao Daqi at that time. Grandpa Liu's great-grandfather must have not spread the news for safety.
"In my father's generation, the War of Resistance started, the family was in ruins, and the gloriousness of the glory of the glory of the glory of the glory of the glory of the glory of the glory of the family."
Grandpa Liu sighed and said, "When I was a child, I wandered around with my father, hungry and full, and finally settled in the capital. However, in order to escape, I was still concerned about copper coins, so many of them were thrown away, leaving only a small part. Just a small bag of copper coins, many of which were collected by my father later."
The truth of the inheritance of Qujiao Daqi was finally revealed, and Qin Xuebing was very excited. This was definitely a great discovery in the collection world, and it was a great discovery revealed by him.
After leaving the hospital, Qin Xuebing was very excited. He immediately picked up his cell phone and dialed Qian Zhengtai's number: "Boss Qian, it's clear. I've found out. Grandpa Liu's ancestor was one of the people who bought the house. The inheritance of Qujiao Daqi has been complete."
"Okay, okay, haha..." Qian Zhengtai laughed. The inheritance was clear, and the birth of Quejiao Daqi was even more convincing, which would definitely surprise those invited collectors.
After laughing for a while, Qian Zhengtai held back his excitement and said, "Xiao Qin, I have good news. Liu Yuanguang called me just now, hoping to see you."
Qin Xuebing was not in a hurry to close the net. Liu Yuanguang did not call him in person, but asked Qian Zhengtai to repost it. Obviously, it was not anxious enough. In this case, it was almost impossible to get the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Garage Cup. Therefore, it would be better to hang him for a few more days. When he was so anxious, he would obediently deliver the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Garage Cup to his door: "Boss Qian, tell him that he will not die in a while."
"Okay, I'll tell him for you later."
Qian Zhengtai couldn't help but wonder: "Xiao Qin, what's going on? Why did Qian Zhengtai let you fool you?"
"I said that fortune tellers can tell fortunes, but you don't believe it. So what else can I say?" Qin Xuebing cut off the call with a smile. Since he didn't believe it, let's make everything a mystery.
However, this call also gave Qin Xuebing a sense of urgency. He had to put some effort into getting the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup from Liu Yuanguang, and he could not deal with Wang Datong like he did.
In fact, dealing with Wang Datong is not a deception, but a naked blackmail. It is actually no different from a robber, but it just won't leave any evidence of crime.
Although this method is more direct and effective, it also has huge risks. If it is not done well, it will be retaliated and cause death. Therefore, Qin Xuebing changed his strategy and used a fraud method. Not only did he ask Liu Yuanguang to hand over the chicken cup obediently, but he also wanted to make him grateful and reach the level of deceiving that moisten things silently.
To achieve this effect, you must use some props to confuse Liu Yuanguang and make him believe it.
"Am I a martial artsman or a martial artsman?" Qin Xuebing himself found it funny. His actions were too distorted by the style of a martial artsman, and he was more like a martial artsman.
But then again, the industry of fraud is still a big advantage for scammers. There are all kinds of tricks and new ideas. There are always people willing to be deceived. In contrast, the people in the Qimen are not as good as those in the Qimen.
"Where do you want to buy those items?" Qin Xuebing did not want to make things complicated. He was also taboo to make the process too complicated, because the more complicated the more it was, the easier it was to make mistakes. As long as one of the links made mistakes, it might collapse completely.
To cheat does not depend on whether the process is simple, the key is to hit the key point: "A talisman and a peach wood sword are enough."
Talismans are the most common in Taoism. They seek peace, avoid disasters, ward off evil spirits, and protect houses, etc. are widely accepted by the public. They are intuitive and effective in deception, and are highly credible.
The peach wood sword is a Taoist magic weapon. It is also considered to have the functions of protecting houses, attracting blessings, and warding off evil spirits in traditional Chinese customs. It is also widely accepted by the people and is believed to be able to hide it from Liu Yuanguang.
Qin Xuebing went straight to the Ping'an Building of Panjiayuan, which specializes in craft souvenirs with rich folk customs, such as peach wood swords, Ping'an buckles, lover knots, etc.
"Hello sir, do you need me to introduce it to you?"
The shopping guide was very enthusiastic, and Qin Xuebing smiled back: "Okay, take me to see the peach wood sword."
"The peach wood sword can save the house, receive blessings, avoid disasters and drive away disasters. I wonder which type you need?"
The shopping guide looked like a Beijinger, with a poor mouth and was very joking: "If you hang it outside the door, you can choose to carve Shentu and Yulei patterns to ensure that all evil is difficult to invade and the family is safe."
"I didn't expect you to be quite professional. You even know this. Nowadays, not many young people know this." Qin Xuebing couldn't help but look up at the other party. According to legend, there is a world of the ghost realm, with a mountain in it. There is a big peach tree covering three thousand miles on the mountain, and a golden rooster on the top. Whenever the golden rooster crows in the early morning, ghosts who go out wandering at night will rush back to the ghost realm. The gate of the ghost realm is located in the northeast of the peach tree. There are two gods named Shentu and Yulei standing by the door.
If a ghost does something that harms the sky at night, Yulei will immediately discover and catch it, tie it up with a rope made of reeds, and send it to feed the tiger. Therefore, all the ghosts in the world are afraid of Shentu and Yulei, so the folk Shentu and Yulei are regarded as the original door god, and can also be said to be the ancestor of the door god.
Therefore, it is most effective to hang a peach wood sword engraved with Shentu and Yulei at the door to defend the house, which can drive away disasters and evil spirits.
The shopping guide couldn't help but smile bitterly. Who is younger? But he is also very good at dancing and continued to talk: "Be a person, love a person, and be a person. If you don't even understand these things, the boss will fire us."
“That’s right.”
Qin Xuebing nodded and said, "But what kind of peach wood sword does not matter to me, as long as the things are old enough."
The shopping guide then smiled bitterly: "We sell craft souvenirs here, not antiques."
"I don't believe that the old shops that have been in decades will have no old items." The reason why Qin Xuebing came to Ping'an Building was because he was interested in it. Even if there were no old items in such an old shop, there would be fine products left at the beginning of its opening.
In the excuse that Qin Xuebing was preparing to deceive Liu Yuanguang in advance, he just needed a peach wood sword that was enough to be old.
"You wait."
The shopping guide no longer talked about it. He quickly took out a wooden box from the high-rise counter, opened it and took out a three-foot-long dark red peach wood sword: "This is the first batch of peach wood swords that were just opened twenty-five years ago. They are made of high-quality peach wood, purely hand-carved, first-class workmanship, but the price is relatively expensive."
Qin Xuebing drew his sword and unsheathed it. As the shopping guide said, the three-foot-long peach wood sword did not make any blame. I am afraid that hundreds of peach trees would find such a piece of material.
As for the carving, the carving is even more first-class. The sword body is carved with sun, moon and stars, mountains, rivers, plants and trees, and the hilt of the sword. The art of farming and animal cultivation, and the strategy of unifying the world. It is actually carved by the sword of the first magic sword in China, Xuanyuan Xiayu, and it is a sword of holy Tao.
The shopping guide continued to play his abilities to talk to Dashan: "According to legend, the peach wood sword made by Yun Zhongzi was also made of imitating Xuanyuan Xiayu's sword, so even the vixen didn't dare to get close."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuebing smiled bitterly. Yun Zhongzi was the immortal of the Ancient Sect in "The Romance of the Gods". He was not the twelve golden immortals, but his magical powers were not weaker than those of the twelve golden immortals. He was proficient in refining weapons, turning the sky seal, and binding immortal ropes. He was successfully imitated by him and could be called the pirated ancestor.
What is more worth mentioning is that Yun Zhongzi successfully transformed his apprentice Lei Zhenzi from a man to a birdman, and he can be said to be the first person who transformed the man in history.
Yun Zhongzi did make a peach wood sword. According to legend, in the late Shang Dynasty, King Zhou of Shang was confused by the fox spirits and the Chaogang declined. Yun Zhongzi specially made a peach wood sword and hung it on the Chao Pavilion, so that the fox spirit dared not approach.
However, Qin Xuebing did not expect that the shopping guide would actually combine this allusion with the Xuanyuan Xiayu sword and use it for sales, which was unique: "Okay, you should just quote directly, otherwise we can bring all the Three Pure Dao Zuns in."
"You can't say that this peach wood sword is indeed related to the Sanqing Daozun."
The shopping guide said excitedly: "If you want to buy a peach wood sword, you must know the Shangqing Palace in Luoyang? Where is the best quality peach wood produced? The material of this peach wood sword comes from, so the price is relatively expensive, 30,000 yuan."
"Man, you're not kidding?"
Qin Xuebing rolled his eyes. At the current price of peach wood sword, 30,000 is not expensive, but outrageous: "I can pay at most 10,000 yuan."
"Ten thousand is too low, 28,000." The shopping guide made a little concession. The price of the peach wood sword was not that outrageous. However, Qin Xuebing had to have the peach wood sword of the year as soon as he arrived. He naturally thought it was a fat sheep.
"Ten thousand yuan." Qin Xuebing would not have paid this price no matter what, if he had not been interested in the history of the Taomu Sword for decades.
"No, the minimum is 26,000." The shopping guide took the initiative to give up 2,000. According to regulations, every item in the store has a low price. As long as the price is sold higher than the reserve price, the higher part will be commissioned.
"Ten Thousand Thousand." Qin Xuebing also added 2,000 yuan, but this is also his lowest price. In fact, judging from the current market situation, the price of this peach wood sword is only about 7,000 to 8,000 yuan.
