Resurrection of Spiritual Qi: The old scalper taught me the secret method of suppressing demons

Chapter 19 The Craftsman

this night...

Xu Fan slept deeply...

When he woke up again and came downstairs, the door of the store had already been opened, and Bai Nianyu led the old yellow dog, lying on the door of the bookstore, bathing in the morning sun.

"That early." Xu Fan walked to Bai Nianyu's side.

"Hungry." Bai Nianyu said.

"..."

Xu Fan looked up and looked across the street: "There seems to be a breakfast shop there."

Bai Nianyu: "I've been there."

Xu Fan: "Then?"

Bai Nianyu frowned seriously and said, "Then the boss won't give me credit!"

Xu Fan: "..."

Xu Fan sighed.

He silently went across the street, bought soy milk and fried dough sticks and brought them back to Bai Nianyu. Bai Nianyu smiled at her. She took the breakfast and ate it deliciously.

Xu Fan stood beside her.

"Why do you always wear these sunglasses?" Xu Fan looked at Bai Nianyu. Although she was eating, she still wore the round retro sunglasses on her nose, looking like a fortune teller.

"In order to experience this world more." Bai Nianyu said.

Xu Fan didn't understand.

He felt that the sunglasses obviously prevented her from seeing the world?

Xu Fan shook his head.

He didn't delve into it, but said, "Come out with me later."

"Ok?"

Bai Nianyu looked up at him.

Xu Fan: "Accompany me to buy something, and by the way, accompany you to find the person you are looking for."

Bai Nianyu nodded upon hearing this.

It's time for her to find that, the person she is looking for.

"Row."

Bai Nianyu nodded in agreement.

then……

They simply ate breakfast, locked the bookstore, and went out!

Only one old yellow dog remains...

Lying at the door, gasping...

……

After they left...

About half an hour.

Jiang Lan's figure appeared here.

She looked at the locked store door in front of her, her eyes were slightly fixed: "Aren't you there?"

"Here I am!"

A sudden voice sounded, and Wang Tianyang's figure appeared at the door of the bookstore at some unknown time. He leaned on the glass door of the bookstore, looked at Jiang Lan pretending to be handsome, and asked, "Does the beauty want to buy books?"

Jiang Lan looked at him: "Are you...?"

Wang Tianyang stood up straight when he heard the words

He turned to face Jiang Lan, and stretched out his hand in a very gentle manner: "Hello, my name is Xu Fan, and I am the owner of this bookstore!"

"You are Xu Fan?"

"Yes."

Wang Tianyang: "I have opened a store here for many years. If you want to buy books in the future, you can add me to WeChat. What books do you want in the future? Send me a message at any time, and I can send it to your home."

Wang Tianyang raised his eyebrows pretending to be handsome and smiled: "Free service."

Jiang Lan's expression became complicated when he heard this.

……

left the bookstore...

Xu Fan and Bai Nianyu came to a glove shop!

In store...

A boss is watching the live broadcast on his mobile phone...

In the live broadcast, there was a female anchor with delicate skin. She was using her own hands to introduce the methods of skin care and beauty, and at the same time, promote those skin care and beauty products.

The boss looked at the hostess's hand very seriously!
"Boss." Xu Fan stepped forward, looked at the middle-aged Mediterranean boss in front of him and said, "Do you have those special leather gloves with zippers here?"

"With a zipper?" The boss looked up at Xu Fan.

"Yes."

Xu Fan nodded: "With a zipper, the kind you can stuff things in!"

Xu Fan wants a detachable glove...

In that case, he can directly stuff the old yellow skin into the glove, and when he wants to use the Tang knife, he can directly use the gloved hand to hold the Tang knife, without needing to use the old yellow skin Go pack!

Xu Fan felt...

Every time I use the old yellow skin to wrap it, it is inconvenient and too conspicuous!
The boss shook his head directly when he heard the words.

"No."

"Can you change it for me? I can add some money." Xu Fan glanced at the sewing machines and various tools in the corner of the shop, and asked proactively.

The boss thought for a while: "Success!"

The boss put down the phone.

At Xu Fan's request, he chose a pair of black gloves as the material, then walked to the corner and began to modify them.

Xu Fan glanced at it.

He and Bai Nianyu sat next to each other and waited.

During that process...

Xu Fan and Bai Nianyu chatted about her finding someone.

"By the way, who is that person you have been looking for?" Xu Fan asked while sitting.

"Tao servant." Bai Nianyu thought for a while and said.

"Tao servant? The servant of your Taoist priests?" Xu Fan.

"Almost." Bai Nianyu said.

Xu Fan heard the words and sighed: "It turns out that being a Taoist priest is so comfortable, and there are Taoist servants."

Bai Nianyu: "..."

Bai Nianyu shook his head: "Not all Taoist priests have Taoist servants. The Taoist servant like me is because the other party's ancestors went to Longhu Mountain and made an agreement with my sister. Their family owes us... ..."

"Generally speaking, there are no Taoist servants."

Bai Nianyu said seriously.

Xu Fan nodded suddenly when he heard the words.

"Then how much do you know about this servant?" Xu Fan said.

"I know a little bit. What I know best is that their family has an ancient seal."

"Ancient seal?"

"Yes."

Bai Nianyu described it earnestly: "An ancient bronze seal looks like a crow, and there are some strange lines, like..."

Bai Nianyu kept talking, Xu Fan's expression became a little strange.

The more he listened, the more familiar this ancient seal became? !

Xu Fan had mixed feelings.

He slowed down, looked at Bai Nianyu and said, "So, the person who owns this ancient seal is your Taoist servant? Will he serve you in the future and follow you to Longhu Mountain as a servant?"

"Almost." Bai Nianyu said.

Xu Fan's mood was very complicated.

He looked at Bai Nianyu, and suddenly said seriously: "I've actually seen this ancient seal before."

"Really?"

Bai Nianyu's eyes lit up, and he looked at him.

Xu Fan nodded: "Well, his name is Wang Tianyang, he is a bit fat, and he lives in..."

Bai Nianyu was a little excited.

She has found her servant!

……

Inside the glove store.

The boss is changing gloves.

Xu Fan and Bai Nianyu were chatting.

then……

A man with a crew cut and a pale complexion walked in!

He seems to be malnourished, and the gentleman looks very thin!

"Boss, it's the same as before." The crew cut man walked to the counter.

"okay."

The boss glanced at each other.

He reacted immediately, went under the counter, and put out a box of gloves...

A box of latex gloves!

man watching.

He directly took out his wallet, paid the money, and turned to leave.

that process...

Clean and neat, without any sloppy.

only……

man didn't notice...

When he was taking the wallet, he accidentally took out the ID card in his pocket and dropped it on the ground.

After Xu Fan found out, he wanted to remind him, but the man walked too fast, and before he could speak, the figure of the man had already disappeared in the store.

Xu Fan stepped forward to pick up his ID card and picked it up...

Above is a photo of the man, and his name: Zhou Yuan!

Xuancheng locals!
Xu Fan watched.

He picked it up and said to the boss: "Boss, do you know this person? His ID card has been lost."

Boss: "It's okay, you can just put it on the counter, he often comes to buy gloves."

"Do you often come here to buy?"

"Yes."

The boss lowered his head and fiddled with his gloves and said, "Basically, I come here every three to five days to buy a box."

Xu Fan: "That much every time?"

"Ah."

The boss nodded.

Xu Fan: "What does he do that needs so many gloves?"

Boss: "It's the kind that puts makeup on the dead, you know."

Xu Fan understood.

Undertaker!
"Okay, it's done." The boss looked at the gloves under the sewing machine, and suddenly said something with satisfaction. Then, he stood up and came in front of Xu Fan, and handed the gloves to Xu Fan: "Try it."

Xu Fan came back to his senses upon hearing the words.

He took the glove and looked at it.

He found that there was a zipper on the edge of the glove, and whether the two zippers were in the gap, or black, you couldn't see it unless you looked carefully.

Xu Fan unzipped the zipper.

He tried to stuff the old yellow skin in, just right, in the palm of the glove!
"good."

Xu Fan nodded in satisfaction.

The boss smiled: "As long as you are satisfied, the total is 180."

Xu Fan nodded.

He paid the money directly, then took the gloves and left with Bai Nianyu.

After they left...

The boss took out his phone...

He called Zhou Yuan who lost his ID card!
"You lost your ID card, it's in my store."

"Oh, I know."

"I'll look for you in the evening, and I'll take it for you by the way."

"Oh."

Zhou Yuan was indifferent.

The boss shook his head upon hearing this.

He hung up the phone, got up and walked towards the inside of the shop, there was a door inside...

The boss opened the door...

Inside is a small room...

The walls of the small room are covered with pairs of gloves...

Those pairs are very thin and light, almost transparent!

'call……'

A gust of wind blows...

All those gloves were blown up by the wind, fluttering gently.

The boss watches.

A smile appeared on his face: "Sure enough..."

"In this world, gloves made of human skin are the most beautiful!"

that moment……

Breeze blowing...

That pair of double leather gloves swayed in the wind, swaying like grimaces!

……
