The right way to pretend to be inscrutable
Chapter 16 Unexpected evil spirit
Since she couldn't understand Chu Yao's complicated emotional changes, Bai Duan didn't bother to think about it, and began to focus on her own affairs.
Although he got the aura contained in a large piece of top-quality jadeite from Zhou Ziqing, who was wronged, and temporarily made up for his consumption after coming to this world, Bai Duan was not satisfied with this.Looking at her unused salary and the small income from selling the defective jadeite, Bai Duan felt that she could work harder and went to the Antique Street in Shanghai to search for treasures.
Although betting on stones is much cheaper than buying jade directly, it is still a bit expensive for the cash-strapped Bai Duan, but antiques are different.If you really come across an antique that is dusty as a fake imitation, then the price should not be too expensive, and the white satin can also afford it.
——As for what to do after exchanging all the money at hand for spiritual energy, Bai Duan has no specific plan. After all, he doesn't know how to use money to make money, such as stock trading, business, and investment, so he can only take one step at a time. Take a chance.
After making a decision, Bai Duan brought it up at the dining table when she woke up the next morning, and told Mama Li that she had something to do today and would not come back for lunch.
Mama Li frowned slightly, obviously worried, but she also knew that Bai Duan was a grown man and had to learn to be independent, so she just told him to be safe and let him go. On the contrary, Chu Yao frowned and raised his head to ask One sentence: "Where are you going?"
"I did a little research, and it's probably Zangbao Building, Treasure Hall, and Yunzhou Antique City." Bai Duan blinked and told her itinerary.
Chu Yao pouted: "You haven't given up yet? Didn't you take you to gamble on stones yesterday?"
When Mama Li heard the word "gambling", she turned her head and gave Chu Yao a look, blaming him for breaking Bai Duan.
Chu Yao smiled flatteringly at Mama Li, but didn't show any repentance, and still stared at Bai Duan.
Bai Duan pursed her lips and nodded: "I still want to see it."
"It's up to you, you won't give up if you don't want to see it anyway." Chu Yao waved his hand, and he raised his chin slightly, waiting for Bai Duan to beg him to take him there, but unexpectedly, after Bai Duan finished speaking, he turned He lowered his head and began to eat his breakfast unhurriedly.
Chu Yao waited for a long time, saw that Bai Duan finished breakfast and was about to go out but there was no movement, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked, "How are you going to go?"
"Take the bus." Bai Duan praised Yang Chuyao's newly bought smart phone for him, with sparkling eyes and a little show off, "I downloaded the 'Thousand Degrees Map' and checked the route last night! "
Chu Yao: "..."
—You are a quick learner? !
Knowing that Duan is so independent and doesn't cause any trouble for himself, Chu Yao should be pleased and satisfied with this, but in fact, he is quite unhappy, he only feels that Bai Duan's wings harden too fast, and he hasn't let him play for two days Just ready to fly.
However, Chu Yao had nothing to do about it. He could only watch Bai Duan politely say goodbye to Li Ma and him, and then walked briskly out of the house, like a little bird that was finally released from the cage. Birds are full of curiosity and desire for the vast world outside.
Chu Yao took a sip of black coffee, but still felt a little irritable, so he turned around and went back to the study on the second floor, intending to find something for himself to do.
Bai Duan's ability to know the way is very good, coupled with the guidance of the "Thousand Degrees Map", he did not encounter any trouble along the way, and he arrived at the first stop "Zangbaolou" smoothly.
Today is the weekend, and it happens to be the famous "ghost market" in Zangbaolou. Antique dealers from all over the country will come here. The stalls are placed from inside Zangbaolou to the street outside, and the goods sold are also various. Various, dizzying.
Bai Duan went out very early, but when he arrived at the destination, the "ghost market" had been open for a long time, but the tourists inside were still bustling with tourists, and the whole street was crowded with water, and there was almost no room for them to get in.
Bai Duan obviously had never experienced such a crowded situation, so he couldn't help being a little confused.He didn't really like being crowded with so many people, and he wasn't used to being crowded with so many people, but at this moment he had no choice but to bite the bullet and squeeze into the crowd, moving slowly in the direction of aura fluctuations.
The four treasures of the study, coins of past dynasties, old and new calligraphy and paintings, ceramics and jade, wood carvings and stone carvings, bronze objects, photo badges... The items on the stalls on both sides of the street opened the eyes of Bai Duan. Although there is no aura on it, it is not a precious antique, but Bai Duan still watched with gusto, not boring at all.
Walking around the periphery of the Treasure Building, Bai Duan didn't gain much, but spent a little money to buy a few ancient coins with a hint of aura.
For such a result, Bai Duan was naturally a little disappointed. He followed the flow of people into the building, and the next thing he saw were some relatively high-end permanent shops.
Compared with the street stalls, the antiques here are more expensive, but there are still not many that can attract the attention of Bai Duan. It's timid - at least Bai Duan can't afford it.
Bai Duan wandered from shop to shop, eagerly looking at the antiques in the cabinets, and then lowered his head silently in frustration.
Just when he was about to give up and move to another place, a moving evil spirit attracted Bai Duan's attention.
Evil spirit is not uncommon in the world of comprehension, but in this world, it is quite rare.Moreover, this kind of breath is not beneficial to ordinary human beings. It not only affects luck, but also is harmful to health, and it can even kill people in severe cases.
Bai Duan followed the evil spirit, and soon saw a 50-[-]-year-old man with a big belly and hurried steps.He went straight to a certain shop, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked directly if there were magic tools to exorcise evil spirits, preferably milder types such as turtles and Buddha statues.
The store clerk's eyes lit up, and he quickly led him to a bronze tortoise, and eagerly introduced to him the origin and function of this bronze tortoise.
The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his head, nodded repeatedly, and looked at the copper tortoise as earnestly as if he was looking at his savior, but the white satin who followed did not see it from the copper tortoise at all. What kind of spiritual energy, or Buddhist energy, could not help but slightly frowned.
——It's unlucky enough for this man to be haunted by evil spirits, and now he wants to buy a fake product that has no function, which really makes the kind-hearted Bai Duan feel a little embarrassed.
After all, it's all right to buy fake products and spend unjustly money. If you delay the resolution of the evil spirit and cause the man to die here, it is really a serious crime.
Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Bai Duan, he just covets the evil spirit on the man.As a reward for getting this evil spirit, Bai Duan didn't mind giving the man a little kind reminder.
"Can this copper tortoise really be able to dispel evil spirits?" The cold voice interjected, which attracted the attention of the shop assistant and the man.
The shop clerk frowned, obviously not happy to be questioned, but when he turned his head to look, he saw a white-haired young man in casual clothes and full of elegance, and finally swallowed the resentment in his chest.
——A person who can work as a clerk in this kind of time-honored antique shop must not only have a pair of discerning eyes to identify antiques, but also need to know people and know what kind of people can be fooled; People with spare money are fat sheep; those who just look at it casually to open their eyes don't need to pay attention to it.
Although Bai Duan didn't have much money, it couldn't match the extravagance and aura exuding from his bones, which was so bluffing that even the shrewd shop assistant "got away".
Although the store clerk was slandering in his heart, he still helped Bai Duan explain with a warm smile.It's a pity that Bai Duan didn't "reciprocate" for his kind attitude, but frowned and shook his head, with a firm tone: "This thing is useless. You said it was a magic weapon, but I looked at it and saw nothing Even the slightest amount of spiritual energy can't dispel the evil spirit."
"Sir, you have to pay attention to the basis of what you say!" The store clerk didn't care whether Bai Duan had status or not. He raised his eyebrows and wanted to get angry—whether what Bai Duan said was true or false, this bad guy's business , The behavior of kicking the stadium on the spot is absolutely not tolerated.
It's a pity that Bai Duan didn't care about the shop assistant's reaction, he turned his head to look at the middle-aged man who was slightly hesitant because of his words, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "If you want to buy a magic weapon that works , or go to another store to see."
It is rare for Bai Duan to take the initiative to touch others, naturally not to comfort the other party, but to take the opportunity to absorb the evil spirit of the middle-aged man into his body.
Although these evil spirits are not compatible with the spiritual energy in Bai Duan's body, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, they are also the "qi" that the spirit-eating ferret depends on for survival. As long as you spend more time to tame and transform it, it will naturally be able to make Bai Duan feel better. For satin.
Others couldn't see Bai Duan's "self-acceptance without warning", but the middle-aged man who was the person involved felt it immediately.
The man's evil spirit has been haunting him for a long time, and it has already affected his health. Recently, he has been feeling tired and sleepy, and his mind wanders easily. There is also an indelible coolness in his bones. Even though it is summer, his hands and feet are always cold and shivering.And with the touch of the white satin, the middle-aged man suddenly felt a jolt of energy, and the altar was clear. Not only was he refreshed, but the coolness in his body was also relieved a lot, and he finally felt a bit of summer. the warmth.
Seeing that Bai Duan patted himself and was about to pull away, the middle-aged man was a little anxious. He didn't even have time to think about it. Satin frowned in discomfort.
The middle-aged man who met Bai Duan could be described as "a long drought meets rain, and a long illness meets a good doctor", so he naturally refused to let him go just like that. Unfortunately, before he had time to say anything, he heard a deep and depressed voice The mountain rain was about to drink in a low breath: "What are you doing?!"
While talking, a tall man walked quickly into the store, without saying a word, he held the wrist of the middle-aged man holding the white satin, and exerted a little force.
The middle-aged man gasped in pain, and involuntarily let go of his hand, and the person who came quickly pulled the white satin away and pulled it behind him to block it.
Chu Yao stared at the middle-aged man indifferently, only feeling that the unhappiness in his heart was getting deeper and deeper.
Ever since Bai Duan left, he has been a little irritable and couldn't calm down no matter what, and Chu Yao is not someone who would wrong him, so he naturally followed his own mind and drove to the treasure building.
Like Bai Duan, Chu Yao doesn't like crowded places, but unlike Bai Duan's shyness, he just finds it annoying.As the crowd entered the Treasure Building, Chu Yao's unhappy mood became even more unpleasant, and this depressive feeling suddenly climbed to the peak when he saw Bai Duan being pulled by his arm.
Bai Duan's slender figure, contrasted with the anxious middle-aged man whose face was distorted even more ferociously. In addition, his eyebrows were slightly frowned because his arms were clenched, and his complexion was a little pale due to absorbing a little evil spirit. Without thinking about it, I let Chu Yao confirm that the little thing I raised was bullied outside.
——Hehe, what a dare!
