City Fairy Store

Chapter 24

At [-] o'clock on Saturday morning, in the north of City S, City God's Temple.

In today's modern society full of steel and concrete everywhere, young people work from nine to five, and their religious beliefs are getting weaker.Famous ancient temples such as Shaolin Temple and Lingyin Temple may still be at their peak, but this small Chenghuang Temple in the city center is inevitably in depression.And today is neither the birthday of Lord Chenghuang, nor the first or fifteenth day of the lunar new year, so there are even fewer people.

Qian Wu came here on foot. At six o'clock, she ended her practice in good time. The air in the city was turbid, and her practice during the day could not achieve the expected results. Like Xiandao back then, he seized all available time and absorbed the spiritual energy almost day and night.

The Town God's Temple is located about three miles north of the school. Along the way, people who get up in the morning are shopping or going to work. Buses, private cars or bicycles pass by, creating a bustling scene. When passing by the park, there are Elderly people in loose coats are playing Tai Chi, singing Huangmei Opera, and playing erhu in a very leisurely manner.Her footsteps are a little faster than ordinary people's. At first glance, she doesn't think there is anything wrong, but after a long time, you can find that from the beginning to the end, she is at the same speed. She is not in a hurry, like a stroll in the garden , Take a closer look, all the way down, there is not a trace of sweat on the body.

"Little girl, get out of the way, you can't play with this thing!" Stepping into the threshold of the temple, there are several old women's stalls in front of the main hall. There are candles, incense, ingots and other things on them, and occasionally people will patronize. But the customer base does not include young girls like Qian Wu who are still studying at first glance, so when Qian Wu stopped in front of her booth and stood there for a while, she started to chase people away.She is not the only one selling these things here, if someone comes to offer incense later and sees someone blocking in front, wouldn't it be a waste of pushing the business to others?

Qian Wu pointed to the cinnabar on her left hand, which she used to touch paper ingots, and asked, "Is there any better one?"

The woman became a little impatient, frowned and said: "Little girl, can you stand aside for a while?" She continued to read scriptures and fold paper money.

Qian Wu naturally saw that she was not welcome anymore, since she wasn't the only one who owned it anyway, so she simply didn't touch other people's bad luck. When she came to the booth of another wrinkled old lady who was blind in one left eye, she suddenly I found that the cinnabar used by this old woman seems to be different from that of the previous one. "Grandma, can I take a look at this?"

The mother-in-law didn't raise her eyes to look at her, but nodded lightly. Qian Wu reached out to take it, looked at its color, and found that it was not as bright as that woman's just now, and it smelled tasteless, but it was of medium quality.Looking at the other things on her booth, she asked, "I still need blank talisman paper and talisman pen...do you have any?"

The mother-in-law raised her head slowly, her one eye seemed to be shining with a strange light, and the dry corner of her mouth was cracked, and Qian Wu could even see her dark red back molars clearly.

When I returned to the dormitory, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning, and I neatly locked the things I bought in the cabinet before going out for the appointment.

The appointment time with He Yiting was 10:30, but when she arrived, he was already waiting there. The dark blue striped long-sleeved sea soul shirt, paired with jeans and sneakers was neat and refreshing. He was standing at the school gate rushing smile at her.Qian Wu subconsciously raised his hand and glanced at his watch, um, 28:[-], not late.However, her five senses were keen, and she could see that he was sweating from a long distance away, and his body temperature was not low, and he seemed to be panting slightly.

"Run here?"

He Yiting scratched his head subconsciously, said "um", and then explained: "I only ran for two stops." But it was a bitter tear when I said it. When I went out today, Liang Xin didn't know what was going on. Asking things, it's annoying to death, and I even asked if I could take him with me.joke!What are you doing with a light bulb? !
But she was a guest at home, so he could only hold back and deal with it impatiently, but he missed the No. 7 bus when he went out, and was blocked as much as a can of sardines on the way back by taxi. There was no other way, so I simply got off the car two stops before and ran all the way here.Fortunately, I wasn't late, otherwise the first date, this... The impression score is too bad.

"Where is this going?" Qian Wu led the way, and the two walked forward for about ten minutes, He Yiting couldn't help asking.Qian Wu had said before that she wanted to buy something and asked him to lead the way, but now she didn't say anything, how could he take it?Although he was happy just walking with her, but wouldn't the atmosphere be too dull?So I have nothing to say...

"Antique Market." I heard that the water there is quite deep, so it's always better to bring a native.At this time, Qian Wu hadn't considered at all that even aboriginals were divided into veterans and rookies, let alone that the money in her pocket seemed to be unable to buy real goods.

"Oh. It's the right direction. It seems that we should take the No. 508 bus, right? The station is too far away!"

Qian Wu looked at him suspiciously: "By car?" In the morning, she checked with her spiritual sense, and the nearest antique market is only five miles away, so why not take a car?Thinking of the crowded people, the not-so-good air is mixed with the body odor, sweat smell, and foot odor of many people... Vomit, I want to vomit!

After getting along with her for a while, He Yiting doesn't know her very well, but there are seven or eight points. Knowing that this person is quite strange, at this moment, he understood her hidden meaning in seconds, and suddenly felt a vein on his forehead. It jumped twice, and said in shock: "Go?"

"Can't you?" I was a little disappointed in my heart, the bus was too uncomfortable, the taxi was too expensive, forget it, let's close my sense of smell.

But he didn't want to receive her slightly disappointed expression, He Yiting's brain twitched, his heart was hardened, and he nodded: "Okay!"

It's not that he really can't walk such a small distance. He has been tempered by his grandfather and father so many times since he was a child that he can't count. What is he afraid of walking? He is not afraid of carrying a ten-kilometer off-road.And walking slowly like this, I can spend more time with her, just because I'm afraid that her feet will hurt or something. Aren't girls pretty weak and delicate?Facing Qian Wu, He Yiting, who was feeling soft in his heart, automatically forgot about the fact that this delicate girl beat up fat Luo Feng to the point where he could hardly take care of himself, and now he avoided her when he saw her.

So after a while, you can hear the following conversation——

"Do your feet hurt? Do you want to stop?"

"It doesn't hurt, don't stop."

"Are you thirsty? What do you want to drink? There is a canteen in front."

"I'm not thirsty..." Before I finished speaking, I saw the boy running away in a hurry, and when he came back, he had an extra bottle of drink and a bottle of mineral water in his hand.

"Tired?"

"...He Yiting! I'm not thirsty, I'm not tired, and my feet don't hurt!"

"Oh……"

But Qian Wu is not really a cold-hearted person. Seeing that He Yiting's face turned red when he left, she felt a little sorry, so she offered to propose: "Why don't we take a ride."

"...Can't you walk?" He was quite excited now, his face was flushed with excitement.

"No."

"Then keep going, we can take a rest by the side of the road if we're tired."

"Oh, okay."

But when they got there, both of them were hungry, and Qian Wu was better. Although he was not able to fast, but due to his practice, his metabolism was slower and he was hungry more than ordinary people.He Yiting can't do it anymore. Boys of seventeen or eighteen years old, who are growing up, feel a little dizzy right now.

Qian Wu is not hard-hearted, so he naturally felt guilty, and grabbed his arm: "Why don't we come and see after dinner?"

He Yiting's arm held by her remained motionless as if it had been fixed, and he grinned stupidly: "Okay."

The two of them are not very old, so no matter where they go, there will be no store that will entertain them warmly, but it is just like Qian Wu.

To say that she has finally fully felt the differences between the Great Thousand World and the Small Thousand World, this difference is similar to the suppression of a plane, it seems that as long as she is in this space, it is very difficult to break through under normal circumstances. difficult things.She is an orthodox Taoist cultivator, and has her own moral bottom line in her heart. It is impossible for her to absorb human essence to increase her cultivation like those evil cultivators. The only way now is to find ancient objects that contain the aura of heaven and earth, and then absorb them. The aura in it has come to practice.

It's just that it costs a lot.Therefore, the details of the market are still clear.

However, after walking around, I didn't find any items with ample aura.Although I can't help but feel a little disappointed, this is also expected. Even in the world of Hongmang, such spiritual creatures can't be seen everywhere, let alone this earth where immortal cultivators are extinct?take it easy……

Seeing that she didn't concentrate on looking at a certain type or period of antique calligraphy and painting, but looked at everything in the shop carefully without reaching out to check, but it was strange that he could feel her It's not just looking at it casually, as if looking for something.

"What are you looking for?" he asked.

Qian Wu shook her head and bit her lip: "It's hard to describe."

"Huh?" When the two were walking towards the exit, Qian Wu was suddenly caught by a booth in the middle of the period and stopped.
