Chapter 125: White Lotus Square

Li Xuandu followed the young woman all the way to the other courtyard and turned several turns. The pine and cypresses on both sides of the road were evergreen, and the old trunks were slanted horizontally, which still added a bit of greenness in this early winter. Through this forest, we walked on a bluestone road and came to the courtyard with white walls of the rich gate. When we walked nearby, we saw the plaque hanging on the gate and the two big words "White Lotus" were written on it. There were no stone lions on both sides of the gate, but two stone palace lanterns for turtles and cranes to prolong their lives.

After entering the door, there was a large patio with stone ponds on both sides of the patio, and lotus were planted. However, due to the cold weather, it has now all withered and only a piece of withered leaves remained. After passing the patio, the living room was in the living room. A young woman asked Li Xuan to sit there, and then a maid brought hot tea. The young woman said, "Please treat the guests to the official to use tea, and wait for me to report to the shopkeeper."

Li Xuandu nodded and took the tea bowl casually, but he didn't expect that the small tea bowl had a mystery. It was thin porcelain, as thin as an eggshell, faintly translucent. He raised the tea cup and looked at it carefully. He wrote the five words "can be clear to the heart" on the wall of the tea cup. The wonder is that these five words can be read from which word, and they can be made into sentences, namely: "can be clear to the heart", "can be clear to the heart", "can be clear to the heart", "can be clear to the heart", and "can also be clear to the heart".

If you see the big one from the small, if you suddenly become rich and noble, you will never have such exquisite thoughts, which shows the foundation of the White Lotus House.

Not long after, a middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes came slowly, waved her hand to signal the maid to step down, and asked directly: "I'm the local shopkeeper. I wonder if this guest official wants to be a pawn or something?"

Li Xuandu put down the tea bowl in his hand and said, "It's mainly pawning, but if there are other good things in your store, you might as well take a look."

"Come with me, please come." The middle-aged woman smiled slightly, turned around and led the way in front of her head.

In Bailianfang, there are not only customers, but also many managers, namely: general managers, big managers, shopkeepers, big shopkeepers, and two shopkeepers in Bailianfang in a state. At this time, the middle-aged woman was one of the two shopkeepers, and the previous woman was a big manager.

When we arrived at the back hall, there was a different world. The ground was covered with lichens woven from Shu brocade. It was silent when stepped on it. In the middle, there was an overly large desk. There were large red sandalwood chairs on both sides of the desk. After the middle-aged woman reached out to ask Li Xuandu to sit on one of the chairs, she slowly sat opposite Li Xuandu.

There is a brass incense burner in the middle of the book case, with a stick of incense stained in the incense burner and light smoke curling.

The woman explained: "This is 'panyunyan', which can cover up the body and voice. You don't have to worry about someone peeping in the dark."

Li Xuan is both an old man. He has seen many of these strange gadgets, but he doesn't care. He just smiled and said, "Since you have come to Bailianfang, you can trust Bailianfang."

The woman smiled slightly: "Then please take out the items you want to pawn."

Li Xuandu took out a thick stack of secret books directly from the "Eighteenth Floor".

The middle-aged woman was slightly stunned, and did not deliberately hide her unexpected expression, and asked softly: "Is this?"

Li Xuandu said concisely: "Secret Book, please let me know."

The middle-aged woman immediately reached out to grab one, looked roughly through a few pages, then picked up a few more, and still looked through a few pages. After about half a stick of incense, she roughly read all the secrets, put down the secrets in her hand, and pondered: "Since the guest is a guest of Jiazi, the reputation is naturally guaranteed. I wonder where the guest's secrets come from?"

Li Xuandu's face darkened and said unhappy: "No matter where you don't ask, this is the rule of Bailianfang. Has Bailianfang changed the rules now?"

The middle-aged woman was shocked and hurriedly said, "I have broken the rules, I hope the guest will forgive me."

Li Xuan didn't even bother to let go, but said, "If the inspection is correct, please offer the price."

The middle-aged woman thought about her words and said, "These secrets are mostly methods of subsistence. The disciples of major sects naturally look down on them. However, those scattered people who have no choice but to be interested, especially the "Jade Tripod Palm" and "Jin Shang Fist" among them are methods of subsistence. If you meet someone who practices boxing and palms, you should be able to sell them at a high price."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged woman looked at Li Xuandu and saw that he had no expression on his face, and continued: "This is a total of nine secret books, seven methods of success, two methods of success, and the methods of success are calculated based on one hundred and five hundred and seven hundred and seven hundred and so on. Our Bailianfang is different from ordinary pawn shops. It never does the price reduction, so how much is it, it is how much it is. So even if the customer is at ease, it will not be higher than this price elsewhere. I might as well tell the customer about the basics. The general market price is at most 1,500. However, our Bailianfang has a wider connection and these things are easier to deal with, so the price given is higher."

Li Xuandu said calmly: "These secrets are not just one pill that you can buy. You can print a batch of them and keep the original version in your hand. This will make a chicken that can lay eggs and flow slowly."

The woman didn't talk nonsense and stretched out two fingers: "Since the guest said that, then add another 300 peace money, which is a total of 2,000 peace money."

Li Xuandu finally showed a smile on his face and said, "The shopkeeper is indeed a refreshing person."

The woman smiled and said, "For distinguished guests like the guest, our Bailianfang never minded a small loss. Besides, I broke the rules just now, so I can be considered a little compensation."

Li Xuandu sighed: "Three hundred Taiping money is nine thousand taels of silver, and your store is really a big deal."

The woman laughed and asked, "I wonder if the guest officials want a ticket for peace or a money for peace?"

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I wonder what good things are there in your store recently?"

The woman said, "It's a coincidence. It's really the same. It's a 'Taiyin Anonymous Talisman'. I wonder if the guest officials have any intentions?"

Li Xuandu said in a little surprised: "This is a rare thing."

The woman nodded and said, "That's right, the effect of this talisman is to hide the body and breath. Whether it is used to save lives or sneak in secret, it is an excellent and essential thing. However, the disadvantage is that the drawing of this talisman is too complicated and requires the cultivation of the Heavenly Realm. Moreover, the few materials required for drawing the talisman are also quite rare, so the output is extremely small, which is very rare on the market."

Li Xuandu asked, "I don't know how much it costs?"

The woman said calmly: "The 'Taiyin Anonymous Talisman' obtained by this fang is a legacy of a master of the previous dynasty. Because of its age, the spiritual energy is dissipated, so there will be some discounts in the price. If the customer intends to buy it, the fang will offer a price of 500 Taiping coins."

Li Xuandu sighed: "Your store is really good, it's almost the same price."

The woman smiled slightly: "Doing a business is not a matter of one day or one night, just as the official said, it is a long and meticulous flow. As the saying goes, a small wealth depends on diligence and great wealth depends on virtue. Therefore, in this business, this shop always tells the truth, without hiding it at all."

Five hundred Taiping money is really not a small amount, especially after Li Xuan lost the silver in the master's sect. Moreover, selling secrets is not so easy to sell, and Bailianfang is not a fool. After collecting these secrets, he will not buy them again, so he will lose one less after selling one. Moreover, there are some such medium-sized methods such as "Pure Yang Zi Qi", which Li Xuan dared not buy or sell at will, otherwise it would be easy for a person to accidentally get over the head of Zhengyi Sect. The nine secret books sold this time have been carefully selected, and such a transaction will not be available in the future.

However, after thinking silently in his heart, Li Xuan decided to buy this "Taiyin Anonymous Talisman". After all, this talisman is one of the most practical types of various talismans, and it has a price but no market. If you miss it this time, you won't know when it will be when you want to meet it next time.

Li Xuandu said: "I bought this 'Taiyin Anonymous Talisman'. The Taiping Money required is deducted from the two thousand Taiping Money. Please exchange the remaining 1,500 Taiping Money for me for the Taiping ticket."

The woman who made a big business showed a happy smile and said, "Cheer, wait."

She turned around and left the inner hall. After a while, she went back and returned, with three more Taiping tickets and a red sandalwood box in her hand.
