One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 204 203: Thanks

Huang Ji returned home after daybreak. When he saw Huang Donglai, he immediately asked where the fire talisman came from.

Huang Donglai was stunned for a moment, then said that it was given to him by a young man from the newly opened talisman shop next door.

After that, of course, he asked what happened. Huang Ji told him everything that happened last night. Huang Donglai felt panic in his heart, and his mother and sister were also listening nearby.

"I really can't tell." Huang Donglai said in surprise. He recalled the Taoist priest Fuyun, who had an ordinary face and a simple Taoist robe, opening the shop in the snow. He thought of him sitting by the fire with a book in his hand, and no one congratulated him.

When he sent the gift, he just thought it was not easy for a young person to open a shop away from home. And when the other party gave him the Red Flame Talisman as a return gift, he didn't take it seriously at all and just gave it to his son.

"That talisman saved Ji'er's life. We should thank them." Huang said, and Huang Donglai immediately said, "Yes, we should thank them."

But their daughter stood by, thinking about the man who drew the brothel portrait for her father, and felt a little surprised. She knew this person and saw that he had crumpled up the brothel portrait and threw it back yesterday.

She pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Xiaozhi, wrap two dozen blue talisman papers and send them to Taoist Fuyun later." Huang said.

Huang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay, mother."

"Also, bring some cakes with you later. I heard that Taoist Master Fuyun lives alone and has a very quiet life, with occasional meals. You can bring him some food." Huang continued.

Huang Zhi still responded, but frowned. She didn't like the man next door very much. Originally, she thought he was just a casual cultivator who was trying to curry favor with her father. Now, she felt that he was a talented but unethical casual cultivator who had the common problem of casual cultivators, doing things by any means necessary.

However, she would still listen to her mother.

Huang Ji said that he also wanted to express his gratitude.

Huang Donglai touched the scars on his face that had already faded a lot, and decided to take his children with him.

At the end of the Si hour that day, they came to the Cloud Pattern Talisman shop and walked in carrying a basket of things.

They saw a thinly dressed man in a blue Taoist robe lying on a recliner, with an open book covering his chest. He seemed to be resting there after reading too much.

It had snowed that day, but the sky was not completely clear, but rather gloomy. The lighting in the room was not very good, but rather dim. The only source of light came from the stove next to him, but there was a cover on the stove with a hollow in it, and firelight emanated from it.

"Master Fuyun, Master Fuyun..."

Of course it was impossible for Zhao Fuyun not to know that someone had entered his shop. He just didn't want to wake up. He seemed to be dreaming, or trapped in past memories. The background of this memory was that of his previous life, but the characters in it were his mother and he who depended on each other in this life.

The two of them lived a very hard life, living in a big family, and trying their best to please others. He knew that all this was in the past, but he still didn't want to wake up, because he found that when he was a child, he had overlooked many details about his mother in this life.

Zhao Fuyun discovered that his mother's illness might not be an ordinary disease, but some kind of curse. This is what he now feels.

Sometimes, she would stare at the sky in a daze, and the sentence she murmured most often was: "If I have the chance, I must return to our hometown."

"Hometown is the word that appeared most often in her mouth. At that time, he thought it was his mother's hometown, or the place where she was born. Now thinking of his aunt Yun Yiqing's long years of wandering, exploring everywhere, as if she was looking for something, he felt that she might also be looking for her 'hometown'."

He wanted to retrieve more information from the depths of his memory, so he didn't want to wake up for the time being.

He pulled his consciousness out of the depths of his mind, then sat up and looked at the three people standing in front of the counter.

Huang Donglai, whose name has a grand artistic conception, stood there, with a man and a woman standing on his left and right.

I have never seen the man before, but he has a heroic air. I have seen the girl before, and her eyes are full of scrutiny.

There was an inexplicable eagerness and respect in the young man's eyes. After escaping from the alley and coming to his senses, he realized how dangerous he was at that time.

He also remembered which talismans he had placed in his belt, among them were a sword talisman from the White Tiger Hall, a sacred fire talisman from the Red Flame Temple, and some exorcism talismans that he felt he needed. However, none of them were useful. They were like firecrackers thrown into the darkness, flashing once before going out, and some did not even flash at all.

Only the Red Flame Talisman obtained here broke through the darkness of the alley in an instant.

He knew how terrifying that darkness was, but the divine bird broke through the darkness in an instant and swooped down on the evil corpse, burning it to death.

"Master, my name is Huang Ji, the son of my father Huang Donglai. I came here today to thank you. Your fire talisman saved my life." Huang Ji said with great respect.

"Oh, you have used it. Do you want to buy it again?" Zhao Fuyun asked subconsciously.

"No, no, yes, yes." Huang Ji initially wanted to say that he came to express gratitude, not to buy the talisman, but then he felt that he must buy it, so he answered yes later.

"The Red Flame Talisman costs ten spirit stones each." Zhao Fuyun said.

Huang Ji was stunned when he heard the price. This talisman cost ten spirit stones. The best talisman in the White Tiger Hall was only this price, and that one was painted by a famous artist.

However, thinking that this talisman could save lives, and at the same time comparing it to the 'White Tiger Constellation Talisman' of the White Tiger Hall, he couldn't come to a conclusion as to which one was stronger.

So, he quickly took out the spirit stone from his arms, exchanged the talisman in Zhao Fuyun's hand, and held the talisman in his hand. At this moment, he thought of the flaming bird that burst out last night and its unparalleled momentum, and felt that ten spirit stones were enough to save his life.

"Manager Huang, is there anything I can help you with?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

Huang Donglai felt a little embarrassed. He was already certain that if these talismans were all drawn by Zhao Fuyun, then Zhao Fuyun was definitely a person with great magical powers, not an ordinary cultivator.

He thought of the wandering cultivators who lived like jackals, and must have killed many people and treated human life as worthless. Now that Zhao Fuyun had retired here, it could not change the fact that he might have killed people like crazy in the past.

He looked at Zhao Fuyun's calm eyes, and couldn't help but shudder in his heart. He rubbed his hands and said, "Master Fuyun, today I mainly come to thank you. This is the cake made by my wife, and it's still hot."

"Oh, cakes." Zhao Fuyun looked at the basket that the girl had picked up, sniffed it subconsciously, and said, "It smells so good, but I'm fasting now."

"Quit eating?" Huang Donglai was a little confused.

? ?
? ?
"Eating too much will lead to a lot of excrement, which is not elegant, so I'll give it up." Zhao Fuyun said calmly.

Huang Donglai, his son and daughter all looked bewildered. They looked at each other, then at Zhao Fuyun, and for a moment they didn't know how to answer.

Zhao Fuyun smiled and said, "Forget about the cakes. I'll just give you a discount when I buy talisman paper from Shopkeeper Huang next time."

"Of course, of course." Huang Donglai said quickly: "I will give you two dozen blue talisman papers as a thank you."

"Oh. Thank you very much." Zhao Fuyun did not refuse and took it naturally.

The girl next to him, Huang Zhi, was still thinking back to the words 'so much shit, so indecent', and thought, "Should I stop eating?"

As a girl who lives a good life in the spiritual world and has a family, she naturally tries to make her life as elegant as possible. She once thought about fasting, but many delicious foods prevented her from doing it.

Zhao Fuyun glanced at her and smiled slightly. He was trying to ease the embarrassment of her throwing the paper over, because she hadn't spoken since she came in. However, she thought, "Could it be that he thinks that I eat too much and..."

My face couldn't help but feel hot.
