[Journey to the West] Breaking into Modern Times with My Disciples
Chapter 38 Shadow Puppet ①
Chang'an has been the capital of emperors since ancient times, and thirteen dynasties have established their capitals here so far.With a profound cultural background, it is most likely to attract all kinds of demons.
Ji Feng has lived for thousands of years, and he can't count how many years he has stayed in Xi'an.This time I took Tang Qi and Fu Duoduo to the past to revisit their old places, and second, they really had something to do.
This time they did not take a plane, and the three chose to take the train.It is inconvenient for the black cat demon and little black to be pets, and this time they also have something to do, so they are placed in Sanshengmu's place and entrusted to her to take care of them.
Yang Ren's eyes have been completely blind since that day, and the beholder was also trapped in the talisman by Ji Feng, and at this time, he was being held and rubbed by the little shadow demon in his arms.
Sitting on the seat, Tang Qi poked Little Shadow Demon's head with his finger boredly and asked, "Where is Meizi waiting for us?"
"She will meet us in Xi'an after she has dealt with the affairs outside the customs."
"What are Wukong and Wujing busy with? During this time, apart from Bajie, I haven't even met them."
"What can Wukong do? It must be with Gu Ji! I heard that Wukong plans to start a company. Wujing was sent by the boss to investigate."
company?Tang Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise. Starting a company requires not only funds but also strong connections.After all, in today's society, all kinds of small companies emerge one after another, and there are countless companies of the same type. The competition is fierce. Otherwise, it depends on how capable you are as a newly established small company, you can get the choice of customers.
Of course, good ability can win the favor of customers, but it is often not only high ability that can win the favor of customers, there are many customers who prefer to find companies they are familiar with.
Tang Qi understands Wukong's character. It is very difficult for him to be restrained in the office all day long in the shopping mall with various customers, enemies and submissives. Can't help but take out the golden cudgel and greet the other party.
Thinking of this, Tang Qi suddenly thought of what he had learned before.Fu Duoduo said that Gu Ji is the weakest mana among them. He can live to be more than 2000 years old with weak mana because he is good at communicating with people and has many friends.
Tang Qi is not opposed to starting a company, and even supports it. After all, Wukong and the others are all here now, and they don't know if they can go back. If they can't go back, they must have a source of money for their own living expenses.
Tang Qi would be very worried if Wukong started the company alone, but he can rest assured that he has Gu Ji by his side.
Although I don't know what the relationship between the two of them is, but judging from Wukong's previous performance, he will not do anything to Gu Ji. With Gu Ji by his side, there is one more person who can restrain him.
The people who made him worry were obediently busy with their own affairs, Tang Qile relaxed, closed his eyes and leaned against the car window to rest.
Diagonally opposite Tang Qi was an old man who frowned when he heard the series of words Tang Qi and Duoduo said.
Wukong, Wujing.The uncle lifted his eyelids and glanced at Tang Qi who was sleeping with pity. This kid is so good-looking, how can he be a fool?
Bored and lethargic all the way to the destination soon.
When you come to the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties, of course you have to have a good time.During the day, Tang Qi and Fu Duoduo visited all the famous scenic spots in Xi'an, and at night, they went all over the streets and alleys to find delicious food.
For foreigners, when they hear that they are looking for delicious food in Xi'an, the first choice is Huimin Street.This night, Ji Feng, who had been busy during the day and disappeared without a trace, suddenly appeared, and the three of them had a great time shopping along Muslim Street together.
Although Ji Feng has lived in Xi'an for many years, he hasn't been back for a long time since he moved the capital to Beijing last time.I still remember the route of the house clearly, but here in Huimin Street, there was no such night market when he was still living here!
It was not easy for the three big men to be crazy from the beginning to the end, and there was a lively noise in the ears of the crowd.
After several people's stomachs were full, Ji Feng recalled a route that took Tang Qi and Fu Duoduo all the way west.I walked about two or three hundred steps to the Town God's Temple, and there were many stalls in the alley at the entrance.
Tang Qi walked in with great interest, and found all kinds of hidden vendors through the streets and alleys of an unfamiliar city. It was like a treasure hunt, exciting and exciting.
Most of the vendors in this alley sell shadow puppets, and all kinds of low-priced shadow puppets are most suitable for people who come here to buy back as souvenirs.
Fu Duoduo had bought a stack a long time ago, and Tang Qi had been on the sidelines, clutching his pockets tightly, and continued wandering along the trail towards the inside.
If you travel a lot outside, you should find a trend, that is, the items at the entrance of the alley are always twice as expensive as the same items inside.
Tourists who travel outside often buy things in scenic spots just to take them back as souvenirs. In addition, tourism is a physical activity. It is not like a vacation. Many times, the items in the deep alleys are ignored by them. Some tourists don't want to buy an item inside and have to walk so long to bring it out. It's better to buy one at the intersection and leave!
Thousands of people have a thousand kinds of psychology, and the situation that selling things at the entrance of the alley is more expensive than at the end of the alley often occurs in various scenic spots.
Sure enough, after halfway through, some vendors had already started to lower their prices. After that, the prices of the vendors were all the same. Tang Qi stood in front of a stall and chose a few shadow puppets to pay.
Except for Ji Feng, the three of them were too busy to be seen all day long, and Tang Qi and Fu Duoduo were the most leisurely.
At first, Jifeng thought that after dealing with the beholder matter that day, he thought it was a mission to go to Xi'an, but he didn't expect that Jifeng was the only one doing the mission, and the two of them were here for vacation.
Tang Qi originally wanted to ask what Ji Feng was busy these days, after all, Ji Feng was so busy all day long that he and Fu Duoduo were like two idlers. The atmosphere of idle wandering feels very weird.
Fu Duoduo knew Tang Qi's thoughts and stopped him immediately.
"Although I don't know much about the past of the boss, I know that the boss has lived here before. He may return to his old place to feel sad, or he may be visiting his former friends. We'd better not disturb him. .”
These are the original words of Fu Duoduo, Tang Qi is the first to hear that Ji Feng lived here.
Sure enough, there are many things about Ji Feng that he doesn't know that other teammates know, and there are a lot of things that his teammates don't know.
After Fu Duoduo said this, Tang Qi didn't have the intention to understand the situation. Anyway, if Ji Feng wanted to order them, they could help at any time. Now that he doesn't need them, he should just stay obediently.
Anyway, there was enough time, Tang Qi carried the bag and continued to walk deep.
The rest of the stalls were just as Tang Qi had expected. The price here was much cheaper than that at the alley, but the prices of these vendors behind were also negotiated, and the prices of several stalls were exactly the same.
Tang Qi has already bought shadow puppets, and the prices of the following vendors have not decreased and they are no longer attractive for people to go shopping. Tang Qi is just here to pass the time now.
When he walked to the last stall, Tang Qi's eyes showed a trace of astonishment.Why is the price of the shadow puppets at the last vendor not only not lowered, but twice as expensive as the first one at the alley? !
If this stall is placed at the entrance of an alley, no one may be willing to buy shadow puppets at this price, let alone this stall is at the end of the alley. How many tourists are willing to go all the way to the end of the alley to buy it? I can't help but buy it.
The stall owner is a man in his 60s, wearing a blue-gray polo shirt and navy-blue cloth trousers.
He was running errands and sitting on the ground, lowering his head and carefully carving the shadow puppets on his hands. The dim light bulb was on top of his head, illuminating the wrinkles on his face like ravines.
Tang Qi was not angry when he saw that the stall owner didn't respond at all, and he didn't bother him. He knelt down and looked at a few shadow puppets. They were made of real leather, and the texture should be cowhide.
The lines cut by the carving knife were very smooth, and the general frowned and stared, showing the killing spirit all over his body vividly.Concubine, Huadan, the luxury and style in every frown and smile are all vivid on the cowhide.
This kind of carving technique can't be achieved in just a few years. It is very likely that this old man has been carving shadow puppets for more than ten years, or even decades, but how could such a powerful old man be reduced to set up a stall? up.
At this moment, the old man finally draws the last line, because Tang Qi didn't disturb the old man, his cold face became slightly milder, he put away the carving knife, looked at Tang Qi and asked, "What do you want?"
Tang Qi picked out a shadow puppet, this is a military general, and he is the best portrayed among this batch of shadow puppets. Not only his face is exquisitely portrayed, but his fierce aura is also shown.Tang Qi was sure that this old man should have carved this character no less than a hundred times.
The old man paused when he saw Tang Qi's shadow puppet, and then said, "780."
Fu Duoduo, who was nearby, gasped when he heard the price. This shadow puppet is more than 100 times more expensive than the one at the entrance of the alley. Only a fool spends so much money to buy such an expensive thing from a small stall.
Just when Fu Duoduo was slandering a fool for being cheated, Tang Qi simply took out the money and bought the shadow puppet.
Fu Duoduo: "..."
On the way back, Fu Duoduo saw Tang Qi rubbing the shadow puppet he bought from a small stall for more than 700 yuan, and sighed inwardly: such a handsome young man, what a pity he is a fool.
The three of them wandered around again before heading to their residence.
Back to Chenghuang Temple again, the three of them just passed by this time, it was already late at night, walking outside in midsummer night did not have the scorching heat of the day, the warm wind blowing on people's bodies seemed to be caressed with both hands, the whole body Crisp and comfortable.
At this point, the voices of pedestrians on the road rarely reach Tang Qi's ears.
"The old man said that he would send the money. This is the point. How long will he let us wait?!"
Standing beside him was a middle-aged man in a white and silver-gray Tang suit and sunglasses. He snorted and said, "Does he dare not come because of her little granddaughter?! Even the hospital can't save his child. Now all he can count on is me."
"Brother Sun, what exactly do you give him every time, so that he can really believe that you can cure his granddaughter?"
"Incense ash powder, but my incense ash powder is ground with painkillers. It won't hurt his granddaughter, and it can temporarily relieve the child's pain. Only in this way can they trust me more."
"Brother Sun is the best."
The two people's conversations stopped quickly, and another person's voice sounded soon. Tang Qi always felt that the voice was very familiar.
"Sun Daxian, this is the 780 I earned today, and I will give it all to you. Please give my granddaughter some incense ash powder."
Hearing this, Tang Qi turned his head abruptly, and found that the person who spoke just now was the stall owner who sold him the shadow puppets.
The stall owner didn't know that the Sun Daxian he called was a liar, and was begging hard, but the Daxian seemed to think that the money he gave was too little and kept silent.
Seeing this, Tang Qi finally couldn't bear it anymore. He wanted to rush over, but he couldn't act casually even when his immediate boss was here. He turned his head to look at Ji Feng, and his gaze fell straight into a pair of dark eyes.
Ji Feng has lived for thousands of years, and he can't count how many years he has stayed in Xi'an.This time I took Tang Qi and Fu Duoduo to the past to revisit their old places, and second, they really had something to do.
