Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

"Since Shopkeeper Qian said so, I am interested in Shopkeeper Qian's collection."

Adam looked at Shopkeeper Qian:

"Let me open my eyes."

"I have to say, Mr. Li really doesn't look like he grew up abroad..."

As Shopkeeper Qian walked to the cabinet against the wall to take out the treasure, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Is Mr. Li really coming to China for the first time?"

"It is indeed my first time back."

Shopkeeper Qian nodded and took two boxes over:

"Mr. Li came for the Yangping Zhidu Gongyin, so let's start with these two."

The lid of the box was opened, with a seal on one side and a magic sword on the other.

"Yangping Zhidu Gongyin, Sanwu Zhanxie Sword?"

"That's right!"

"Shopkeeper Qian, now you can say, this thing is stolen goods? Who can rob Zhang Tianshi of Tianshi Mansion?"

Adam's words in short are... unbelief!

"I wonder if Mr. Li knows about the founder of Taoism?"

Shopkeeper Qian did not explain, but asked Adam a question instead.

"Shopkeeper Qian also knows that I grew up in England, so just tell me directly."

Although Adam knew, he didn't want to play dumb like this.

Shopkeeper Qian nodded and stopped keeping the secret:

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the prototype of Taoism gradually took shape in the chaotic world at that time, namely the Taiping Dao in the East and the Wudoumi Dao in Hanzhong..."

Adam's pupils shrank, and he seemed to know why Shopkeeper Qian mentioned the founder of Taoism just now.

"Mr. Li actually knows?"

Shopkeeper Qian is a master at observing people's expressions in this business, and he was also very surprised to see the change in Adam's expression.

"... Zhang Xiu actually has a descendant alive?"

Zhang Xiu, a name that perhaps few people would notice if they did not study the history of the late Han Dynasty.

But in fact, the Wudoumi Dao he founded and the Taiping Dao founded by Zhang Jiao were the origins of Taoism. Later, Zhang Xiu was killed by Zhang Lu, and the Wudoumi Dao also fell into Zhang Lu's hands.

After Zhang Lu took over Zhang Xiu's Five Pecks of Rice Sect, he preached that his Taoism and Five Pecks of Rice Sect were actually inherited from his ancestors. His father's name was Zhang Heng and his grandfather's name was Zhang Ling.

The ancients often added a related word between or after the two-character name to indicate what sect they believed in, such as the "Tao" in Xie Daoyun and Li Daoyuan, or the "Zhi" in Wang Xizhi and Gu Kaizhi.

As the founder of Taoism in Zhang Lu's mouth, Zhang Ling was naturally called... Zhang Daoling.

Adam came back to his senses from the shock, and a sense of reason rose in his heart.

There was no magic in the previous life, and Zhang Xiu died naturally, but this life is different, and it is not impossible for there to be a successor.

"That's right. Zhang Xiu's descendants have been looking for opportunities, but Zhang Xiu was defeated at the beginning. Later, Tianshi Dao became stronger and stronger, so they have been hiding... until one day, Zhang Tianshi came to Taiwan."

Manager Qian's face showed some admiration, not knowing whether it was for Adam's knowledge or the tolerance of Zhang Xiu's descendants.

From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Second World War, this persistence of not forgetting the original intention even made Adam want to admire it.

"When they sold these two treasures, I was also shocked that they could do this. They also said that when Zhang Lu seized Zhang Xiu's Taoist lineage, they could not return it in its original state with their strength, but they could seize Zhang Lu's orthodoxy."

Manager Qian sighed:

"It is true. Zhang Tianshi died suddenly overseas and the three treasures were lost. I heard that Longhu Mountain was fighting over who was the orthodox. Finally, Chongxuan Office, which is now the office, took action to suppress it. Several disciples of Zhang Tianshi led a Taoist lineage and left in anger..."

"Let's not talk about those. Let's talk about the three treasures they got at that time. The Zhengyi League's powerful magic scrolls were each kept as backups. They were originally torn and divided equally. These two things were difficult to divide, so they exchanged them for money to divide them equally. From then on, the Five Pecks of Rice Sect and the Tianshi Sect were even."

Ah, this... The current situation is probably that even if they want to be even, the Taoist priests of the Tianshi Sect will not agree, but if you really count it, this is another endless account.

In comparison, Adam was more interested in that office, but the transaction was more important at the moment.

Through the scale, Adam knew that Shopkeeper Qian had not lied, but could Shopkeeper Qian be sure that these two things were real?

Shopkeeper Qian really couldn't be sure, he could only be sure that these two treasures did have the power to match the legend, so Shopkeeper Qian took a big step back on the price.

"Speaking of which, such a treasure, even if you keep it all the time, you won't have trouble selling it, why is Shopkeeper Qian willing to sell it?"

While Shopkeeper Qian went to get other treasures, Adam asked curiously.

"Alas, it's embarrassing to say..."

Shopkeeper Qian sighed,

"I gave birth to an unfilial son, taught him to practice his eyesight since he was a child, and hoped that he could take over my job. Who would have thought that he would go abroad to work for those monsters!"

Monsters...?

"He's working as an appraiser in Gringotts now, and he found... cough."

Speaking of this angrily, Qian wanted to say that he found a foreign girl, but then he remembered that Adam's father was also a foreigner, so he stopped talking and changed his words:

"He also wants to start a family in a foreign country... Alas!"

"So...?"

Adam heard Qian's abrupt turn, but he didn't pursue it.

"So... that's it. I was thinking that even if I didn't pass it on to my son, I could take in an apprentice and teach from the beginning. Am I still worried that no one would take care of me in my old age? But..."

Qian came over with a few boxes:

"Half a year ago, my unfilial son wrote back and said that they had given birth to a child. Now the child will be called grandpa. I haven't seen what grandpa looks like... As people get older, their hearts become weaker."

"I'm thinking about the past, but I can't take away the things in this store... If I want to take a boat to the mainland, there are still some things to clear. If I want to go abroad, I will die if I step into the airport with these."

Adam raised his eyebrows:

"So you sold it to me?"

"Can you and I be the same?"

Shopkeeper Qian shook his head:

"I have been doing this business for most of my life. It is unrealistic to leave no trace at all. It has been remembered for a long time. But you don't have to be afraid. The current situation is different from the past. The Ministry of Magic cannot spare any time to do anything more. It was at this time that I still had some hope of leaving.”

"It just so happens that at this time, a person like me, who is rich enough to eat these things, has foreign currency, and has nothing to do with the Ministry of Magic, comes here?"

"Isn't this just a noble person sent from heaven?"

Looking at the smile on Shopkeeper Qian’s face, Adam smiled and shook his head:

"What are these? Let me introduce them."

Coincidentally, it has nothing to do with him. The routine is so deep, who takes whom seriously...

Seeing Adam come back, the third uncle finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"I was thinking that if you weren't back by sunrise, I would quickly take people to find you."

"Don't worry, third uncle, I told you nothing will happen."

Adam patted his hand reassuringly.

The third uncle nodded, and then said:

"Did you buy it? What did you buy?"

Adam smiled lightly:

"I didn't touch the hot potato, but it opened my eyes a lot."

He filled the house with gold and jade...even the gold bricks on the walls and floor and the money-lucky tree were all given to him as props as Shopkeeper Qian said.

It was probably such a coincidence that Shopkeeper Qian really wanted to leave. The price of each treasure was very cheap compared to its value. After confirming that Shopkeeper Qian was telling the truth, Adam had no reason not to buy it.

Even if there is some trouble behind those things... what is he afraid of?

Coming to Yang, as Shopkeeper Qian said, he is not afraid of the Ministry of Magic. The current situation is different from the past - Ms. Li has not changed her nationality, but he is a British national, and he and Ms. Li came by plane, which is recorded. Something happened to him on Hong Kong Island, and Britain, which was trying to argue about the ownership of Hong Kong Island, dared to send a warship over to demand his life on the spot.

This was what Shopkeeper Qian meant, and he knew that Adam could hear it through previous negotiations.

As for the one who came to Yin... there is no warship Adam, but even if you only look at the firepower of the Muggle world, he is much more powerful than the warship.
