I practice the Tao by blind practice

Chapter 137 Magical Artifact (thanks to Fangcun Tianya 2008 for the reward)
Hou Donggui waved his hand, signaling the two beautiful tea art masters in the wing room to step back temporarily.

After all, even though he and Dong Dahai had battled for a long time, Chen Hai should still be a junior brother. He was worried that Chen Hai might not be able to adapt to such an occasion.

"Old Dong opened an antique shop at Liulichang!"

"Brother Chen, if you want to buy something, or want to sell something, you can find Lao Dong, there must be no problem!"

Pointing to Dong Dahai, Hou Donggui introduced to Chen Hai.

After saying these words, he only paused slightly, turned his eyes to Dong Dahai, and continued to say: "Brother Chen and I belong to the same type of people, what we do, you should know well, old Dong."

"If he really wants to go to your store to buy something, you can't hack him!"

"Otherwise, if there are serious consequences, don't blame me for not warning you in advance!"

When facing Chen Hai, Hou Donggui was amiable.

However, when he looked at Dong Dahai, his eyes had become extremely fierce.

The words that came out of his mouth clearly carried a warning meaning.

"Master Hou, our Jubaozhai is a hundred-year-old store. When we do business, we have always paid attention to fair prices, and no one is cheating!"

"Besides, Mr. Chen is your friend. It is my honor that he is willing to come to Jubaozhai. If you lend me some courage, I dare not neglect him!"

It seemed that he was in awe of Hou Donggui, and after just a few words, Dong Dahai was sweating coldly.

After wiping the fine layer of sweat on his forehead, he quickly patted his chest and promised.

"That's good!" Hou Donggui responded with a nod.

"Master Hou, you have asked Mr. Chen to come over. You must have something to discuss. I will leave first, so I won't bother you two!"

Dong Dahai stood up, and after greeting Chen Haihou and Donggui, he was very knowledgeable and had already retreated first.

"This old Dong is in the antique business?" Sitting down on the leather sofa in the wing room, Chen Hai opened his mouth and confirmed to Hou Donggui.

When talking about antiques, he thought of those bottles and jars hidden under the bed in his hometown.

Those things, Li Dajiang said, can be worth a lot of money.

It's a pity that his understanding of antiques is only slightly better than Chen Hailai's.

Among the antiques, those bottles and jars in Chen Hai's hands belonged to what level, Li Dajiang couldn't tell why.

"Yes!" Hou Donggui nodded: "Old Dong, don't think that he is only a promise in front of us. He has been at Liulichang for so many years, and he still has some contacts in the antique business."

"You need to stay in Kyoto for a few years after you go to university. You can go shopping there in your spare time!"

"If you're lucky, maybe you can pick up the leak and get a few magical artifacts back?"

Having said that, he also specially took off the string of beads on his wrist.

After shaking before Chen Hai's eyes, he continued to say: "I bought this thing in Lao Dong's shop, and it only cost 2000 yuan."

"Don't look at its material, there is nothing special about it, but this string of beads is a real magic weapon!"

"Come on, let you try it, test your eyesight, and see if you can spot the peculiarity of this thing."

After finishing speaking, Hou Donggui generously handed over the bracelet in his hand to Chen Hai.

Chen Hai doesn't know anything about antiques and curios.

After receiving the bracelet handed over by Hou Donggui, he tossed it over and over, and checked it carefully several times. After seeing nothing abnormal, he simply used the power of the soul.

Under the peeping of the ten ferocious compound eyes of the spirit of the leech, Chen Hai clearly saw traces of green energy emanating from the bracelet and escaping to the surroundings.

"Angry? With this thing, can it nourish the body?"

With his soul returning to his body, Chen Hai exclaimed.

For him, this thing is like a chicken rib, and it doesn't have much effect for the time being.

However, if one of his parents has such a bracelet, maybe they will live a few more years because of it.

Such an item, let alone two thousand, even twenty thousand or even 20, as long as Chen Hai can get it out, he will definitely take it without saying a word.

"Brother Hou, are there many similar instruments on the market?" Returning the bracelet to Hou Donggui, Chen Hai asked curiously.

"Brother, the method of making magical artifacts has long been broken!"

"In these years, it is not easy to find a real magic weapon. Everything depends on one's luck."

"Speaking of it, my bracelet can only be regarded as a mediocre existence among magical artifacts!"

"It is said that it is not impossible for a truly tyrannical magic weapon to have infinite power and move mountains and seas."

Not knowing what he thought of, Hou Donggui let out a long sigh, and continued to say: "In China, those of us in the Taoist sect have actually been in a state of being suppressed."

"Quanzhen, Maoshan, and Zhengyi are branches of Taoism. The attitude of the higher-ups is quite relaxed, but the main reason for this is that the inheritance of these famous sects has already been cut off."

"You should know that whether it's a Taoist method or a talisman painting, you need to open the altar, pray to the ancestor, or borrow the method."

"It's not the Taoist classics that are cut off for these orthodox Taoist sects, but the trace of connection between them and their ancestors."

"Without this connection, they will lose their true inheritance, and they can't even visualize their own ancestors."

"In recent years, I have come into contact with people from several Daomen, but unfortunately, I have not met a single person who has truly achieved success in cultivating the Dao."

"Perhaps, in ten or twenty years, the so-called Taoism will only exist in legends, and the so-called ancestors of Taoism will transform into tourist attractions."

"On the contrary, there are quite a few folk mages or witches, who have some real skills."

"It's just that most of these people are heretics, and they only know a little bit of magic. Their mana is all borrowed, and they are destined not to become anything great."

"The existence behind them is also some little hairy gods and the like. At most, they will make a small fuss, and they won't be able to make much trouble."

"If someone really dares to defy the general trend, establish a sect for the existence behind them, wave the flag and clamor to spread the faith, what awaits them is definitely a thunderbolt from above."

"In this era, for those of us in the Taoist sect, I have to say that this is indeed a kind of sadness..."

After Youyou sighed, Hou Donggui said again: "The first time I saw you, brother Chen, I thought there was a true cultivator of Longhu Mountain living among the people. You got some inheritance by chance."

"But now it looks like that doesn't seem to be the case at all."

"What exactly are you practicing? This is your privacy. I won't ask more questions."

"As someone who has experienced it, I can only remind you that you should keep a low profile as much as possible in your daily life, and don't make too much publicity."

"Establishing a sect to spread beliefs is an absolute red line. Whoever touches it will die, and you must not do it..."
