"Anyway, I'm very grateful for Mr. Shen's rescue today." Shopkeeper Ma quickly saluted.
The two of them talked and walked into the shop again.
"Shopkeeper Ma, I came here today to buy some more talisman paper and spiritual materials." Shen Luo sat down and expressed his intention.
At this time, Ma Xiuxiu served him a cup of fine tea, and then retreated into the inner hall with her cheeks slightly red. She only dared to glance at Shen Luo from the corner of her eye.
Shen Luo didn't pay attention to the little girl's subtle movements, and kept scanning the labels on the treasure box.
"What talismans and spiritual materials are Mr. Shen going to buy today?" Shopkeeper Ma asked.
"The spiritual materials are the same as last time. As for the talisman paper... I want to buy some blue frost paper." Shen Luo retracted his gaze and said.
"Normally speaking, Mr. Shen is kind to us. Spiritual materials such as floating shadow jade and golden scallops can be given to Mr. Shen without charging a penny. It's just that this green frost paper... needs to be given in the form of immortals. We can’t decide whether to buy jade or give it away privately,” Shopkeeper Ma said with a confused look on his face.
"Whatever Shopkeeper Ma said, regardless of the spiritual materials or talisman paper, just calculate it according to the original price." After saying that, Shen Luo stood up and took out a gold ingot and the fairy jade. , placed on the counter.
It didn’t matter to Shopkeeper Ma that he saw the gold ingot, but his eyes lit up when he caught a glimpse of the fairy jade.
"What did the shopkeeper say last time? One fairy jade can buy ten blue frost talismans, right?" Shen Luo asked.
"Ten pieces? That's the price for others. Since Mr. Shen can get the immortal jade, we can sell twelve pieces to you." Shopkeeper Ma said immediately.
"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Ma." Shen Luo heard this and said with great joy.
"Young Master Shen, please put this gold ingot away. The floating shadow jade and other items can be considered as additions to the talisman paper. We decide to give it to you." Shopkeeper Ma waved his hand and said boldly.
After that, without waiting for Shen Luo to speak, he turned around and went to the treasure grid, took out the talismans and spiritual materials, and sent them to Shen Luo.
Shen Luo suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took out the piece of gold foil engraved with runes from his sleeve and placed it on the counter.
"The shopkeeper is well-informed, can you help me to see what this thing is?" Shen Luo said.
"No problem, let's see." Shopkeeper Ma said with a smile.
As he spoke, he had already reached out his hand, but when he was about to pick up the gold foil, his movements suddenly froze.
"This is..." Shopkeeper Ma hesitated with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" Shen Luo asked.
With a solemn look on his face, Shopkeeper Ma turned around and went to the inner hall. After washing his hands, he held a piece of clean cloth and carefully picked up the piece of gold foil.
He brought his eyes closer and carefully examined the runes on the gold foil from top to bottom, and thenTurning over, he carefully looked at the back of the gold foil, and his face became a little excited.
"Yes, this pattern, this texture, yes, it must be..." Shopkeeper Ma murmured with his hands trembling slightly.
"Shopkeeper Ma, can you tell me what this is?" Shen Luo looked at it with a confused look on his face, but he also knew that this gold foil was probably not a common thing.
"Master Shen, I'm really sorry. When I suddenly saw this soul-soothing golden wat, I was so excited that I lost my temper." Shopkeeper Ma finally came back to his senses and said.
"The soul-suppressing golden wat?" Shen Luo said in surprise.
“The Wat Board was originally a special object used by Taoist practitioners to perform Taoist rituals when performing Luotian Dajiao or Taoist rituals. Some prayers and sacrifices were often recorded on it. The words "Tian Ting" are used above. Because they have different functions, there are also different types. This kind of soul-soothing golden wat is very special. It is made of special gold essence and is specially carved with runes by the Taoist master. To suppress evil spirits and resentful spirits," Shopkeeper Ma explained.
When Shen Luo heard this, he remembered that when he found the golden wat, it was hanging on the body bag. Now it seems that it was probably to suppress the soul of the dead body.
"So this thing has such an origin, but I wonder if your store will accept it?" Shen Luo nodded thoughtfully and asked.
"Master Shen, do you want to sell this thing?" Shopkeeper Ma was delighted when he heard this and asked hurriedly.
"Selling or not... depends on how much it is worth?" Shen Luo hesitated and said.
"To be honest, Lubaotang has collected a lot of things over the years, but this is the first time I have seen this soul-suppressing golden wat. Mr. Shen has been kind to us, but I can't I’m trying to fool you, your golden wat is of excellent quality, and the runes engraved on it seem to be unusual, and they are different from the commonly seen soul-soothing runes, but I can’t tell what they are.” Shopkeeper Ma said solemnly.
"Speaking directly from the shopkeeper, how much are you willing to pay for this golden wat?" Shen Luo frowned and asked.
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Ma picked up the golden wat and looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a long time, the expression on his face became more and more tangled.
"Mr. Shen, I really can't determine the value of this golden wat for the time being. What do you think? Let's mortgage it here with thirty immortal jade, and then send a letter to this Lubaotang The real boss, let him determine the value. If you give me less, I will convince the boss to make up for it later. If you give me more, I will repay the favor to you." Shopkeeper Ma thought for a moment before speaking.
"Thirty Immortal Jade?" Shen Luo heard this and could hardly believe his ears.
He can only receive one fairy jade every three months in the Bai family, which is a treatment that other low-level guests do not have at all. This piece of gold foil picked up with bare hands can be exchanged for thirty fairy jade. ?
"Just as Shopkeeper Ma said, change it!" Shen Luowei hesitated again and said immediately.
This soul-suppressing golden wat is of no use to him at least at the moment. The talisman on it isHe had already remembered Wen in his heart, and now it was indeed the best choice to replace it with real fairy jade.
"Master Shen is such a cheerful person!" Shopkeeper Ma also touched his palm and said with a smile.
"Shopkeeper Ma, the deal has been decided. Can I ask one more question, why is there anything special about this golden wat and why is it so valuable?" Shen Luo asked doubtfully. .
"Mr. Shen, to tell you the truth, we are willing to take this gamble because we see something different." Shopkeeper Ma hesitated for a moment and then said.
"I would like to hear the details." Shen Luo said.
“The soul-suppressing golden wat is actually similar to the soul-suppressing talisman, except that it contains stronger spiritual power and the effect lasts longer. However, it is a consumable thing after all. It can be used for more than ten years. It's not easy. As for your golden wat, it seems to be quite old at first glance, and the runes on it are still very impressive. There is no trace of being infected by evil spirits, so we guess that if it wasn't made of excellent materials, The person who carved the talisman must have a very high level of cultivation, and its meaning is extraordinary," Shopkeeper Ma explained.
When Shen Luo heard this, he immediately understood.
