Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 13 Draw a talisman for me
After walking some distance further, we reached the end of the alley.

During this period, although there were many street stalls, Wu Yuansheng did not see any stalls set up by acquaintances who were on the front line of treasure hunting.

In his previous life, the people he knew who used detectors to hunt for treasure were definitely not just the ones he saw just now.

They either had something to do and didn't come, or they came and set up stalls for a while, then sold some things and left again.

After all, it was almost 11 o'clock when he came over by himself.He remembered that some acquaintances used to set up street stalls in the market, usually only for two or three hours.

When Wu Yuansheng visited these street stalls, he only planned to check out those stalls that were on the front line of detecting and treasure hunting, because the things on these stalls were more genuine.

Anyone who has been in the antiques circle for a long time knows that the frontline detectives are basically selling genuine items.

As for other people's stalls, he had no intention of looking at them.

"Boss, help me draw a talisman!"

Just as he was about to return the same way and walk towards the gate of "Fengqing Street Antique City", a man's voice rang at the door of a store at the end of the alley.

Hearing someone say this, he glanced at this man, who was about 1.6 meters tall and about 34 years old.

Wu Yuansheng did not know this person.

Then he took another look inside the store.

A familiar person appeared in his eyes.

Jiang Mingqing, known as Master Jiang, was an ancestral practitioner of Feng Shui paintings.

In his previous life, Wu Yuansheng heard that his shop had been open here for some years. Now when he came to see it, he found that it was still here.

At this time, Jiang Mingqing looked about 50 years old, much younger than ten years later.

He remembered that Master Jiang was drawing talisman for others. Although he said it was a talisman, he would tell others after he finished the painting that it was just another form of calligraphy or painting.

As for whether it has any effect, those who asked him to draw the talisman should take it back and experience it for themselves.

As the saying goes, "Good and evil are only in a thought!", "As soon as you hear the Vajra, you will realize it!" Seeing the runes is just a reminder to the individual.

"If the heart is right, evil will be eliminated. If the family is harmonious, all blessings will come."

Before his rebirth, Wu Yuansheng visited Fengqing Street Antique City. When he was playing at Boss Jiang's place, he often heard him say this to others.

He also heard Master Jiang say that he opened a shop here, collecting and selling antiques just incidentally, and helping others read Feng Shui, choose dates, and name them was his main business.

Boss Jiang not only believes in Taoism, he also believes in Buddhism. Many of the things displayed in his store are Taoist and Buddhist things.

"What type of talisman do you want to draw?" Master Jiang asked the man after hearing the man tell him that he wanted to draw a talisman.

"I want to draw a charm that calms the mind and calms the mind. Recently, I always feel restless and can't calm down when thinking about problems!"

"Then do you have any calligraphy requirements for the talisman that calms the mind and calms the mind?"

"When you draw the talisman, help me write a few words on it! Just write "Tranquility Zhiyuan"!"

"Okay! Just wait a moment, I'll get some paper to help you draw now!"

After Master Jiang finished speaking, he went to the store to look for talisman paper.

There is a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstones on the counter in front of his door, but this is only used for drafting during his usual practice.

When he actually helps others draw symbols, he will bring over some special materials and paper.

Wu Yuansheng was not in a hurry to leave. He planned to watch it for a while, and maybe he would ask Master Jiang to help him draw a talisman in the future.

Although he played here in his previous life and watched others draw talismans, he himself had never asked him to draw talismans.

After Master Jiang replaced the non-special items on the counter with special items, he washed his hands and started painting.

I saw that he first used a brush to stick some red liquid, and then drew on a long piece of yellow paper:

"Imperial order...Peace and peace...Guisi year..."

After the painting was completed, Master Jiang stamped two more seals with a special Taoist seal and his own private seal.

It took less than 2 minutes to draw this talisman.

Master Jiang's calligraphy is good, and the four words "Tranquility and Zhiyuan" in the middle of the whole talisman look vigorous and powerful.

Wu Yuansheng didn't quite understand the runes next to them.

"You wait a few minutes and it will be done in a while. I will help you take it to the Patriarch to have it lit."

Then the man started to wait.

"I heard from others that wearing a good wooden bead string can calm the mind and calm the mind, right?" While waiting for the cinnabar to dry, the man seemed to have remembered something and asked Master Jiang again.

"Yes! Rosewood bracelets have a certain effect. Burning some sandalwood or agarwood at home can also calm the mind! Of course, it is basically impossible to buy natural wild agarwood. Even if you can buy it, it is expensive. , most people simply can’t afford it!”

"What's the sky-high price? Tell me."

"You can't buy it for tens of thousands of yuan per gram! Let's not talk about that, just buy some sandalwood and use it."

"That's really not something that ordinary people can use! Do you have any bracelets here?"

"Yes, but rosewood bracelets are not cheap! One bracelet costs at least 300 yuan."

"Bring a bunch out and let me see!"

After hearing what the man said, Master Jiang went to the store and took out a bunch of rosewood wooden toy strings and handed them to him.

"Isn't it 300 yuan? Is it true? I'll buy a bunch if it's true!"

"It must be true. I have opened a store here for a long time. Go and find out. I still have this reputation. A bracelet costs 300 yuan, and I can't make much money!"

"Okay! If I'm honest, I'll just take this string and put it on."

While they were chatting, the cinnabar charms drawn on the yellow paper had dried.

Master Jiang took the talisman paper into the room, placed it in front of the portrait of the ancestor, lit three incense sticks, then bowed, recited a few incantations, and took out the talisman paper again, which was regarded as a blessing.

It is very simple to open this light. There is no tedious and complicated procedures such as preparing red cloth, pricking the rooster's comb blood, wearing Bagua Taoist robes, and holding a fly whisk or peach wood sword.

"I hope that when you go home and see the words on this talisman, you can calm down." Master Jiang said when handing the paper to the man.

"How much does this painted talisman cost?" The man asked Master Jiang again while holding the talisman paper.

"Just watch and give it!"

"Then I'll give you 200 yuan! Together with this bracelet, I'll give you 500 yuan!"

"can!"

The man paid Master Jiang 500 yuan and left.

Wu Yuansheng felt that this man was quite generous and did not say that he would only give him eight or ten yuan!

At the same time, he also thought that Master Jiang could make money very quickly by painting talismans.The cost was a lot, but it was only five yuan, and he was immediately given 200 yuan.

"Are you buying something or selling something? Or do you want to read Feng Shui, draw talismans, and choose a name?" When he was thinking about it, Master Jiang asked him.

"To sell things, I have an old whistle here, a two-cent Great Wall coin, and two copper coins. See how much you can get."

Afraid of accidentally losing such a small item if he left it in his hand, he planned to get it every time he went to the demolition area or dirt yard in the future.

As long as it's not something special or difficult to price, everything else is sold out.

I heard someone say before that they had some copper coins, or copper dollars, or silver dollars, and someone else offered them a slightly lower, but barely acceptable, price.

I didn't want to forcefully sell it at the time, but later I either accidentally lost it or someone else stole it while I was setting up a street stall.

It is most practical to sell ordinary things as soon as possible and convert them into money!
"Take it out and let me see!"

After Master Jiang finished speaking, Wu Yuansheng took out the contents of his wallet and handed them to him.

He didn't take out the safety buckle of the mutton-fat jade, and it would definitely not sell for the price he wanted here.

"The whistle is made of pottery and is not very valuable. I will give you 50 yuan. The 2-cent coin is not in good condition, so I will give you 100 yuan. The Yongzheng coin will give you 200 yuan, and the Jiaqing coin will give you 5 yuan."

After listening to Master Jiang's quotation, he felt that if he went to other stores, the purchase price would be similar.

In some stores, the price may be even lower.

He knows a little bit about the people who open these shops, and Master Jiang's reputation is not bad.

"Okay! Just the price you said!"

After the two agreed on the price, Master Jiang paid him 355 yuan.

Including the previous 3310 yuan (40 yuan was spent on Xue Houhou's Zhangzi), he now has 3665 yuan.

In the morning, except for the safety buckle, the yellow cloth bag that said "Study hard and make progress every day" and the backpack carried behind my back, all other things have been dealt with.

Not wanting to waste any more time, he planned to leave this antique city.

Wu Yuansheng did not return the same way. He remembered that there was a back door next to Master Jiang's shop. He used to come here to the antique city, and sometimes he came in through the back door.

After chatting briefly with Master Jiang for a few more words, he turned and left towards the back door next to the shop.
