One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 202: 201: News Portrait
Someone in the room next door poked his head out, saw two men in gray-brown official uniforms, and shrank back, but it was obvious that they were listening to the noise over here with their ears perked up.

Zhao Fuyun stood up and put the book aside. The official with his hand in his arms had his eyebrows twitching, as if he was about to throw out the talisman or magic weapon in his arms.

At the same time, the big man in the lead was also staring at his hands.

Zhao Fuyun didn't say much, but stretched out his hand to rub his face. His originally ordinary round face immediately became feminine and delicate.

When Zhao Fuyun revealed his true face, the other party immediately asked, "Why do you want to cover your face?"

Zhao Fuyun glanced at him and said slowly, "Sometimes, being too good-looking can also be a burden."

As soon as he said this, the man with his hand in his arms showed anger on his face and said, "Be honest, don't you know how to make excuses? I think you have bad intentions. Tell me your origins honestly."

However, just as he finished speaking, the leader raised his hand, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Your reasons are very sincere."

After saying this, he turned around and walked out, in front of the incredulous eyes of the man next to him.

"Boss, you believe that excuse, why?"

The man asked as he chased after him.

The leader laughed and said, "You won't understand, because he is telling the truth. Only people who are equally good-looking can relate to this kind of truth."

The man looked at his "boss's" handsome face under the brim of his hat, and thought about how many female cultivators would come and talk to his boss. He felt mixed emotions, and he felt hurt, but he didn't know where to start.

However, he quickly suppressed the imbalance in his heart, because the 'boss' told him that everyone has different talents, but acquired abilities are determined by one's own efforts.

"Boss, your eagle eye skill is really powerful. You can actually see his transformation. I couldn't see any trace at all." He Pu complimented.

"I didn't see that." the other man replied.

"That?"

"Because his temperament is really inconsistent with his appearance. A person with that kind of temperament must have a good face. He obviously has an ordinary appearance, but he has such a noble and indifferent temperament, which makes me uncomfortable."

He Pu couldn't help but wonder, is it possible that people who look ordinary can't even have a good temperament?

Zhao Fuyun sat there and pondered for a long time, wondering how his transformation skills were discovered, but in the end he couldn't figure it out and had to give up.

He sat down by the fire again and rubbed his face, rubbing it back to its normal, ordinary state.

The chair creaked and seemed about to break, so he thought to himself, I should buy a new one tomorrow.

The next morning, before he got up, Huang Beixuan from the Huang's Talisman Paper Shop next door came to the door of his shop and looked inside.

Probably because of the commotion last night, he didn't come over all night, but he couldn't help but come to see in the morning.

Seeing Zhao Fuyun sitting there fine, he leaned over the counter and asked, "Master Fuyun, what did the people from the Joint Patrol Department say to you last night?"

Of course he knew what was said, and he was very clear that new shop owners like Zhao Fuyun were all patronized by people. Although people here don't care about your background, they do care whether you are a registered thief or a wanted criminal.

At the same time, they will also come to see if you are some kind of evil spirit.

"It's nothing, he may just think that I should have a pretty face, but I'm just an ordinary person." Zhao Fuyun said.

Huang Beixuan looked at Zhao Fuyun. Of course, he had some ability to observe people, but he could not see anything unusual in Zhao Fuyun.

As a person who has not built a foundation, it is impossible for him to see anything.

However, no one from the Joint Patrol Department made things difficult for Zhao Fuyun, which also proved that Zhao Fuyun was innocent.

So he once again invited Zhao Fuyun to have breakfast.

Zhao Fuyun readily agreed, and this time, he decided to treat the other party to a meal.

However, this time they went to eat tofu pudding.

The tofu pudding here includes real tofu pudding and fake tofu pudding.

The real one is tofu, and the fake one is brain marrow.

Zhao Fuyun ordered one real and one fake. He didn't ask too much about what animal the fake one was from, as it tasted delicious anyway. Then he ate the real tofu pudding. He first ate one-third of it with sugar, then one-third with salt, and finally one-third with spicy sauce.

Huang Beixuan on the opposite side looked at Zhao Fuyun with a strange expression and asked him why he did this.

"I'm afraid that someone would be in a bad mood seeing me eating sweet but not salty food, and I'm also afraid that someone would be dissatisfied seeing me not eating spicy food, so I just eat together." Zhao Fuyun said.

Huang Beixuan looked around and said, "Don't worry, no one will bother to talk about this."

At this time, Zhao Fuyun was obviously relaxed and acted indifferently.

Two people consumed two spirit stones, which was relatively expensive.

Afterwards, Zhao Fuyun went to buy a chair. It was not cheap, and he actually spent two spirit stones. The person who bought the chair said that the wood was very extraordinary. He said that the fragrance of the wood had the effect of clearing the mind and soothing the spirit.

Zhao Fuyun felt that this was a very bad thing about these people. They were trying to calm their minds and tranquilize their spirits in everything, as if he couldn't think of any reason.

But there was no other way, it was exactly what he needed to buy.

While he was changing chairs, two women entered the store.

Just when Zhao Fuyun was about to take the old one out, they blocked the door and hurriedly retreated. Zhao Fuyun wanted to throw it away, but he didn't know where to throw it, so he could only put it against the wall at the door.

He also saw the taller woman among them, who was the one who bought his demon-suppressing talisman two days ago. Although she looked a little tired at this moment, she was not seriously injured.

"You two, do you want to buy talismans?" Zhao Fuyun asked naturally while standing at the door. His hands were naturally rolling up his sleeves. He had an ordinary face and a reserved smile.

In Jing Qing's opinion, his smile carried a hint of pride, as if he was waiting for others to use his talisman and then return it with a respectful look.

"Thank you for your magic spell. It saved my life and that of my friend." Jing Qing said seriously, "I apologize for being disrespectful to you that day."

Zhao Fuyun smiled and said, "There's nothing to apologize for. Don't you need to buy some more talismans?"

"We don't need to go to the Netherworld for the time being, so we don't need to buy talismans now." Jing Qing said.

Yang Xiao'e looked at Zhao Fuyun, and then at the white paper he had pasted on the wall. On the white paper were written the fire talisman, the divine fire talisman, the red flame divine talisman, the invisibility talisman, and the magic-suppressing spell.

Because she was a temple child of the Red Flame Temple, she saw a series of fire symbols and couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, did you draw those fire symbols?"

"Of course." Zhao Fuyun replied.

In fact, Yang Xiao'e could also draw fire talismans, and she could even draw the divine fire talisman. However, if she drew the divine fire talisman and sold it, she could only break even at best. As for her, she no longer needed the divine fire talisman since she had a magic-breaking lamp.

"Are you a follower of the Red Flame God?" Yang Xiao'e asked again.

"No." Zhao Fuyun answered naturally. Yang Xiao'e was a little disappointed. In his opinion, if everyone in the world was a follower of the Red Flame God, they would naturally become closer.

"Can I see your fire talisman?" Yang Xiao'e asked again.

"Of course." Zhao Fuyun still said these two words very straightforwardly and entered the store. The two followed him in.

The moment she entered the store, Jing Qing felt something different, because after he came in, she felt that there was no wind, as if the wind blew into the door and naturally stopped. Moreover, there was a faint pressure. She couldn't help but look up and saw the wind chimes made of spirit stones.

She remembered that this was not available when she came here last time. She couldn't help but take a closer look and saw that the runes on the middle spirit stone were complicated, while the other spirit stones were engraved with familiar words. They did not look complicated, but they perfectly exuded the magic power of the spirit stone in the middle.

"Talisman matrix? Formation!" Jing Qing thought to herself. She knew very well that the four skills of alchemy, weapon, talisman and formation were the top four among the hundred arts of cultivation, and they were the most important for the inheritance of the sect. For a small sect, it was already good to be able to inherit the method of refining a magic weapon, and the formation was even more difficult to learn and master.

Although Zhao Fuyun's talisman matrix looks simple, the ideas expressed in it are not simple.

She looked at Zhao Fuyun calmly.

Yang Xiao'e had already taken the two fire talismans handed over by Zhao Fuyun, one was an ordinary fire talisman, and the other was a divine fire talisman.

The moment he got the two fire talismans in his hands, Yang Xiao'e felt the fire imprisoned in them. If the fire in the fire talisman he drew was a fireball, then what was imprisoned in this talisman was a raging and violent fire.

Especially the divine fire talisman, which seemed to ignite her soul when she stared at it.

The divine fire talisman can burn people’s souls, which is the standard characteristic of the divine fire talisman.

Yang Xiao'e felt her heart pounding. She was sure that even the priest of the Chiyan Temple where she was could not draw such a good divine fire talisman.

"What an exquisite talisman." Yang Xiao'e exclaimed.

"Do you want to buy it?" Zhao Fuyun asked with a smile.

Yang Xiao'e glanced at Sister Jing beside her, and Sister Jing nodded to her, meaning that she could say whatever she wanted.

"To be honest, I want to buy this talisman and learn from it, but I'm afraid I won't be able to learn the essence of it." Yang Xiao'e said.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you." Zhao Fuyun said.

Yang Xiao'e was stunned, but Zhao Fuyun continued, "But I have one condition."

"What are the conditions?" Yang Xiao'e asked nervously. She knew very well that the knowledge of cultivation was very expensive, especially the experience of others.

"You are from the Xihe Sect of the Chiyan Divine Religion, right?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

"Yes, Taoist priest." Yang Xiao'e replied nervously.

"I once had a relative who was rescued by Zhu Ke of your Chiyan Divine Sect. I would like to know where he is now?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

He wanted to find out about Zhu Ke so that he could see from the side whether the Xu family in Tiandu Mountain were still chasing Lan Hui.

Thus, he could get a side view of what was happening in Tiandu Mountain. Of course, he happened to see people from the Chaoyang Sect of the Red Flame Divine Cult and asked about Zhu Ke's situation.

Yang Xiao'e obviously didn't know Zhu Ke, so Zhao Fuyun smiled and said, "You don't have to answer me now. You can go ask others. Someone from the Chaoyang Sect of your Red Flame Divine Religion should know. If you have any information, come to me and I can tell you my experience in drawing fire talismans."

Yang Xiao'e agreed, and Jing Qing thanked him again without saying much.

Of course, Zhao Fuyun could sense that the magic-suppressing spell on her had already been used.

As long as you hold it in place, it can't be used only once.

Not long after Zhao Fuyun sat down, someone else came into the shop.

This time it was a young man with a mustache, holding a roll of paper in his hand, who called out, "Shopkeeper."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Fuyun looked up and asked.

"Boss, would you like a copy of the official rumor?" The young man with a small mustache raised a roll of paper in his hand.

"What's the rumor?" Zhao Fuyun asked, but he was surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that such a thing would be sold here.

"It's a newspaper that records major events in the world." said the young man with a small mustache.

Zhao Fuyun was silent for a moment, then asked, "How many spirit stones are needed?"

"One spirit stone for one." said the young man with a small mustache.

Zhao Fuyun bought one.

Then, he saw a lot of messy gossip, and he didn't know whether it was true or not. It was really just "rumors". However, he saw a piece of news about Tiandu Mountain from a corner.

"Recently, some people saw fog spreading in Tiandu Mountain, covering the lower courtyard and reaching the edge of the lower city. It is said that no one has been seen entering or leaving for a long time."

When Zhao Fuyun saw this news, he felt that it was basically true, of course this was just an appearance.

Whether there was anyone coming in or out, how could Gao Xiu be discovered?

He wanted to see if there was anything more, but there was none.

There are romantic affairs on it, as well as a story about a young man from a certain family who has successfully built his foundation and is suspected to have obtained some Taoist magic.

It also records who has refined a wonderful magical weapon.

Or if someone has refined some kind of elixir, buy it as soon as possible.

Who else is trapped in the hell?

The winner is determined by who duels with whom.

Of course, there is another thing: Recently, it is suspected that demons have sneaked into Luodu. I hope all Taoists will pay attention. If you find any clues, please report to the Joint Patrol Department. There will be rewards after confirmation.

Zhao Fuyun turned over the last page, and a painting slipped out.

The painting shows a full-length portrait of a woman. She is sitting there, looking very much like a lady from a noble family, except that her feet are bare and they are hunched over, as if she is shy, yet unable to hide, revealing half of her foot.

There was a hint of coldness on her face, her black hair was like clouds, and a green jade hairpin was inserted in it.

This sense of contradiction will definitely make people feel itchy after watching it.

Zhao Fuyun narrowed his eyes and sat up straight because he knew this person.

This was the same Sword Lady in Colorful Clothes who assassinated Xie Anlan when he was in Guangyuan Prefecture and they were investigating the Taoist Qingxi who assassinated Xu Yacheng.

Although her appearance has changed a little, the 'spirit' in her is still revealed.

Zhao Fuyun saw it at a glance.

He didn't know whether the painter painted too well or the spirit emanating from the woman was too strong.

Next to the painting was a line of small words: "On the 17th of this month, Miss Qingyu will be officially unveiled."

"It's quite interesting!" Zhao Fuyun couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

He couldn't help but wonder if someone had sent her to him on purpose, or if this was just a publicity stunt by the brothel.

Zhao Fuyun slowly leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and thought about what had happened in the past few days.

The fire next to it was about to go out, with only sparks flickering.

　You didn't expect it, I wrote a chapter in one night without sleeping.

　　I didn’t think of that myself.
