18 Kirin

"What's going on?" I asked.

"My buddy said that he bought all the high-quality unicorns in the entire market, and only then could he collect one hundred and twenty pieces," said Lao Zhao, "but just now, his warehouse suddenly caught fire. When he discovered it,

By that time, the fire was already very strong. After putting it out, it was discovered that the boxes containing the unicorns were on fire. The copper unicorns, stone unicorns and crystal unicorns could still be used, but the yak bone unicorns had all been burnt to ashes."

But look at me.

I didn't say anything, just put the piece of cake into my mouth and started eating.

"Everything else is easy to talk about, except this yak bone unicorn." Lao Zhao looked solemn. "There are not many objects made of this material, especially unicorns. My buddy not only cleared out all the stocks in the market, but also removed them from the market.

Panjiayuan transferred some goods and finally got it all together. It is no exaggeration to say that this fire burned more than half of the ox bone unicorns in Shangjing. We can't get it together tonight, so let's do that

What should I do?"

"Yes, young master, what should we do?" Kerr Ye asked.

I took a sip of barley tea, pondered for a moment, and asked Lao Zhao, "Where are the remaining unicorns now?"

"Still in my buddy's warehouse," he said.

"Ask him to find three girls, each of whom will keep a kind of unicorn," I said. "Let's go directly to the warehouse after dinner."

"Okay!" Lao Zhao picked up the phone and made a call.

Ke'er came close to me and lowered his voice, "Master, is this fire caused by the Jade Puppet Fairy?"

"If it's not her, who else could it be?"

Ke'er was puzzled, "But didn't she go to a room with Zhang Ergou? How could she still come out and set fire?"

My heart moved and I turned to look at her.

She was stunned when I looked at her, "What are you doing?"

"She has opened her eyes. In other words, the blood curse on the jade puppet has been more than half solved. She no longer needs the blood..." I looked at her and murmured to myself, "

When you are hungry, you will not be selective about what you eat. When you are not hungry, you will not be selective about what you eat..."

Kerr understood.

"Zhang Ergou, she didn't like him!" I looked at each other and said in unison.

"Then can your trick still work?" Ke'er worried, "If she doesn't touch Zhang Ergou, she won't dare to use the bow forcefully even if Zhang Ergou is so pissy, right?"

I fell silent.

Yes, what if Jade Puppet Immortal doesn't touch Zhang Ergou?

After making the call, Lao Zhao put down his mobile phone and said, "Master, as agreed, we will go to the warehouse after dinner."

I came back to my senses and nodded, "Okay."

Ke'er is still waiting for my answer, "Master, you haven't said anything yet! What should I do?"

"Soldiers will stop you, water will stop you, and water will cover you." I picked up my chopsticks and said, "Let's eat first."

Ke'er snorted and breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay then."

After dinner, we drove out of Nancheng and headed straight to the East Fifth Ring Road.

Taikoo Lou Antique Market is the largest antique market in the east of Beijing. It is bigger than Panjiayuan. Lao Zhao has two stores there. The guy who sold Qilin for him is called Song Tianhe, nicknamed Xiaoheizi.

The store is also there.

After arriving at Taikoo Lou, we went directly to Song Tianhe’s shop, Feng Gu Zhai.

After we met and exchanged pleasantries, Lao Zhao introduced Song Tianhe and me. Just like before, he only said that I was his young master and did not mention my name.

Song Tianhe was also very smart. He held my hand with both hands and bowed to me, "Master, it's a pleasure to meet you! Please take good care of me in the future!"

I smiled awkwardly, "Okay."

Lao Zhao said to Song Tianhe, "Take us to the warehouse. The young master will personally inspect those unicorns."

"Okay!" Song Tianhe stepped aside and said, "Master, the warehouse is over there, please!"

"Please!" I said.

Fengguzhai is just a storefront, and the warehouse is in a community behind the Taikoo Building Market. The house was rented by Song Tianhe. There are two units in total, more than 200 square meters.

When we arrived at the warehouse, he took out the key, opened the door, and invited us in.

After entering the door, we smelled a pungent smell of smoke, and it looked like something had just been burned.

A girl with long hair heard the door open and came out of the bedroom, "Brother Hei! Brother Fei! Ke'er!"

She knows Zhao Tuhao and Ke'er.

Ke'er also greeted her, "Sister Xu!"

Song Tianhe introduced me, "Her name is Xu Jie, she is my assistant."

Then he said to Xu Jie, "This is our young master!"

Xu Jie quickly greeted me, "Hello, young master, my name is Xu Jie!"

"Hello", I said, "Where is Qilin?"

"In the room", she stepped aside, "Master, please!"

We walked into the house and saw that there were two girls inside, each guarding a box, and the other box belonged to Xu Jie.

"This young master of ours is called a man!" Xu Jie said.

The two girls quickly bowed to me, "Master!"

I cleared my throat and told Song Tianhe, "Open all the boxes."

"Okay!" Song Tianhe directed the girls, "Open the box!"

The three boxes were opened one after another, and the Kirin inside revealed its true appearance.

I started with the copper unicorns guarded by Xu Jie, and took them out one by one and inspected them carefully. These unicorns have different shapes, and Song Tianhe bought them from the entire market. I don't care about their shapes, I only look at their appearance.

Whether the shape can be used to set up formations.

"When there was a fire, many of these unicorns were burned," Xu Jie said, "We just cleaned them all, and there are still some traces of fire. You see, for example, here..." She pointed to the unicorn in my hand.

Show me the neck, there is an obvious mark there.

"It's okay," I said calmly, put down the Qilin, and continued to check the next one.

It took me more than 20 minutes to check the forty unicorns. The result was that only twelve were usable, and the others were not.

"Except for these twelve statues, everything else does not meet the requirements." I took the hot towel handed over by Xu Jie and said while wiping my hands.

"No way..." Song Tianhe was shocked, picked up a unicorn, looked at it, and asked me, "Master, the material and appearance of this unicorn are not considered to be top-notch, but they are above average. Why?"

Can’t it be used?”

"From the perspective of handicrafts, it is indeed a good thing." I returned the towel to Xu Jie, "but it is not suitable for setting up an array."

"Can you tell me why?" Song Tianhe was puzzled.

"The one used to set up the formation must first be a unicorn, and secondly, it must conform to the shape." I took the unicorn in his hand, "Just like this one, its head is to protect tombs and ward off evil spirits, but its butt is Pixiu.

, and it also has four wings. The shape is beautiful, but it is not a unicorn, but a monster."

I put down the unicorn and picked up another one, "Look at this one again. It is a unicorn, but it has broken teeth in its mouth, and there are broken toes on the front left hoof and the right rear hoof. This unicorn is made from a wax mold.

, there is no technical problem with casting, so the broken teeth and toes are purely a problem with the blank. This is not a problem in terms of craftsmanship, but when used in Feng Shui, it is called a congenital deficiency. The evil spirit of such a Kirin is not strong enough, and it enters

The formation can only be used casually to make up for it. It’s no problem to use it to control the house, but it can be used to do important things, but it won’t work at all!”

"So it's like this..." Song Tianhe suddenly realized it and sighed with emotion, "I have gained a lot of experience, I really have gained a lot of experience!"

I handed the unicorn to Xu Jie, then walked to a girl and continued to inspect the stone unicorn she was guarding.

Lao Zhao was unsure, so he came to me and asked in a low voice, "Master, since we don't have enough copper, is there any use in looking at this stone?"

"It's useful." I picked up a unicorn, looked at it carefully, and put it aside.

Lao Zhao didn't dare to ask any more questions and turned to look at Song Tianhe.

Song Tianhe understood what he meant, "I will immediately contact my friends from other places and ask them to send over all the unicorns they can find overnight."

"Okay!" Old Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, I will take over all these unicorns, including those that were burned, and I will pay as much as you want!"

"We don't need to talk about this anymore," Song Tianhe said, "As long as you are fine, this Qilin is mine!"

"Brother Hei is so interesting!" Ke'er gave him a thumbs up.

Song Tianhe smiled and said, "Brother Fei helped me block the knife. We two brothers have a life-long friendship. This is nothing."

It seems that Zhao Tuhao still has real friends.

Zhao Fei patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, I've kept it in mind, but I have to pay for it myself. If you do things beautifully for me, you're showing your dedication to your brother."

Song Tianhe nodded, and then asked me cautiously, "Master, how do you like these stone unicorns?"

I was looking at a Qilin who was lost in thought. When he asked, I looked at him and put the Qilin down.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Tuhao asked quickly, "It doesn't work either?"
