Mysterious World, I Can Change My Destiny

"I'm a layman. The shopkeeper might as well tell me everything, so that I can gain more insight."

Ji Yuan didn't understand why such a big pawnshop only used an oil lamp for lighting.

Create an eerie atmosphere?

He didn't care either, and followed the man in the melon hat into the compartment.

The cold wind blew through, causing the figure to sway and throw it on the wall, as if showing its teeth and claws.

"Why don't the shopkeeper light up a few more lights, it's pitch black here, how can I check the quality?"

Luo Yuzhen couldn't hide the words in her stomach and asked.

It was as if gusts of cold air were burrowing into his neck. If he hadn't practiced a little bit of inner martial arts, his courage would not be bad, he was afraid that he would turn around and run away.

"Guests don't know, this is the rule of thumb.

After nightfall, only one lamp is lit in the shop. If something unclean enters the door and the lamp goes out without wind, it will be said to the outside world, 'Close the door and close the business, and make it early tomorrow'.

If the lamp is lit again, they will be at peace with each other, if not, offer three sticks of incense, a few plates of tribute, and then silently recite the name of the Lord of the City God, and they will leave. "

The man in the melon hat named Zhang Dong explained with a smile:

"If you light up too many lights, one will attract too many evil spirits, and the other is... No matter whether it is a red shop or a black shop, it is not a serious business, so it is natural to keep a low profile."

After Luo Yuzhen heard it, they hurriedly moved closer to Ji Yuan.

I feel that there are several rows of shelves standing, and the compartment like a warehouse is more yin qi.

But he was curious and couldn't keep his mouth shut, and continued to ask:

"Are there really evil people coming?"

Zhang Dong bent down, took five or six boxes from the shelf, some made of wood and some iron, and placed them on a small table.

The wrinkles on his face were crowded together, showing a strange look, and said softly:

"There may not be other trades, but small pawnshops receive things regardless of their origin, and most of them are red goods, yellow goods, and black goods.

To put it bluntly, there are not a few people who are stained with blood, who are attached to wronged souls, and who are stained with the yin qi of the dead.

It's like walking at night and running into ghosts, so be extra careful.

In the past, the pawnshops on the street of the City God Temple were closed as soon as it got dark, but after a while, people died in a row, and the Buddha said that they would continue to open their doors at night to do business, and prepare oil lamps and incense candles. "

Ji Yuan remembered the time he opened the "Bone Bodhisattva Bliss Night Banquet", and had an inexplicable strange feeling of being watched and shrouded in malice.

It seems that there are not only blood and blood martial arts in this world, but also some indescribable strange evils.

"Look at Jiuye, these are the small objects in the underworld vessel."

Zhang Dong first opened the two wooden boxes.

One is altar-shaped, pottery.

Dark reddish-brown, painted with landscape patterns;

One is bottle-shaped, jade.

Shaped like a pagoda, delicate patterns such as dragons and tigers and auspicious clouds are vaguely visible.

"Brother Ji, these two pieces are 'soul bottles', which can be traced back to the Dragon and Han Dynasty 8,000 years ago, and mortals must be buried with these objects when they die, which means that the three souls and seven souls are in full bloom, and the Yin spirits are protected so that they can enter. Hades.

The value of such artifacts depends on how old they are, and the patterns on them. Like princes and generals, the artifacts buried with them will be extraordinarily precious.

Especially the soul bottle, the more exquisite it is, the more it can reflect the identity. "

Luo and Zhen finally had a chance to use their strengths. He crossed his hands and bent over to appreciate:

"This pottery is undoubtedly a commoner's thing. It only uses landscape patterns, and it is very rough. It is not very old. It was about the middle of the Dayu Dynasty 600 years ago, and its value was mediocre.

The bottle vessel is a little better, the owner of the tomb should be a Taoist priest, and his status is not high. If it is at the level of purple cloth and red ribbon, at least it must be equipped with Qilin pattern and elixir imprint...

All in all, it's all normal stuff. "

This rather wonderful long speech made Zhang Dong, the shopkeeper of the pawn shop, a little convinced, and praised:

"The guest officer is a connoisseur, and every detail is accurate."

Luo Yuzhen was quite content, turned to look at Ji Yuan, but found that the other party didn't care at all, and couldn't help but feel stuffy.

When it comes to the appreciation of antiques, calligraphy, paintings and jade, he believes that he is not inferior to the two bosses of Yun Tingzhai and Kao Yi Ju.

After all, there are too many at home.

Every day I have nothing to play with, and slowly get started.

"How much silver does this bottle cost?"

Ji Yuan asked.

The Huangtian Dao map in the sea of ​​​​knowledge gives a judgment, and the white Dao Yun is fifty points.

"Not expensive, twenty taels."

Zhang Dong stretched out his hand to compare the number.

"This one is wrapped."

Ji Yuan weighed the purse.

In the past, the general banner Xu Xian and a group of Tiqi sponsored a lot, and now there are more than 30 taels left, which can be bought.

This disappointed Luo Yuzhen, who was waiting for the bill, so he hoped that Ji Yuan would not have enough money, so he asked himself to ask for it.

Once the first deal is done, it's much easier to talk about later.

Zhang Dong estimated Ji Yuan's financial resources, and the items he took out were neither too expensive nor too mediocre.

But unfortunately, there is only one jade piece left with Dao Yun.

But the price is too expensive, it is a burial of the princes and ministers of the prosperous dynasty more than 2,000 years ago.

"There are only ten points of white Dao Yun in total, but it costs four hundred taels, which is not worth it..."

Ji Yuan shook his head and didn't take it.

Of course, another reason for his refusal was what Luo Yuzhen said later:

"There was a style of burial in the Sheng Dynasty, and the dignitaries at that time believed that blocking the acupoints of the corpse with various jade articles could prevent the soul from leaving the body and the Yin spirit from leaking out.

There are many kinds of this kind of jade, including the cicada jade in the mouth, the eye jade that covers the eyes, the jade jade that is cushioned on the chest...

The piece in the shopkeeper's hand is Qiaoyu, a place specially designed to block the reincarnation of grains. "

Knowing this layer, Ji Yuan didn't even want to touch it.

"Ninth Master, you have seen almost all the small items. It's hard to take out those big items right now. Why don't you come back tomorrow? I'll take you to the warehouse for a walk."

Zhang Dong specializes in this line of work, so naturally he doesn't dislike things being dirty, so he said carefully:

"Besides, it's a bit late now. There have been a lot of weird things happening in Tianjing recently, and it's not safe to walk at night."

Ji Yuan nodded, he wasn't really interested in big things.

Bells, tripods, gold, silver, and even coffins are not cheap.

Without a few thousand or tens of thousands of taels of silver, I am afraid it is difficult to start.

"Only items that belong to me completely can be absorbed by the Emperor's Daotu and change their fate... to eliminate the possibility of prostitution."

Ji Yuan thought regretfully.

He only took the soul bottle this time, and got fifty white Dao Yun, which is better than nothing.

However, it is also considered to find a way, at least the probability of such artifacts remaining Dao Yun is much stronger than ordinary antiques.

If you have time, you can pan for more gold.

"Then thank the shopkeeper. If you receive any good items, you can find me at any time."

Ji Yuan held the packed soul bottle and said with hands.

"Ninth Master is polite, please forgive Xiao Xiao's remarks, go home quickly, and don't wander outside.

After the curfew, it is easy to get into trouble. "

Zhang Dong hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.

"If you run into something unclean, go to the Temple of the City God, and you can stay safe... This is all about the business."

Ji Yuan's eyes flickered, but he didn't take it seriously, but kept it in his heart.

Leaving Huaiyinzhai, the bluestone street outside is empty.

A hazy mass of fog shrouded the surroundings, blurring the houses and lights, as if nothing could be seen.

It's like falling into another world.
