Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 67: Dragon-Suppressing Eighteen Seeds String (First Order~)

Chen Xin rubbed his sore eyes.

He searched all morning but didn't find a suitable post.

I glanced at the time and it was time for lunch.

Taking out a buffet card given by Wang Xingping, Chen Xin stood up, packed his things and prepared to go out.

But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Wang Xingping.

"Want to go eat? We can go together."

Looking at the joy on Wang Xingping's face, Chen Xin was also very curious.

After putting the things down, Wang Xingping put his arm around Chen Xin's shoulders and went downstairs.

The buffet was not far from the community, so the two of them quickly walked to the buffet restaurant without driving.

"Uncle, why are you so happy? Did you get a promotion?"

Sitting in his seat, Chen Xin asked curiously, and saw Wang Xingping's face full of astonishment.

"how do you know?"

"It's great to get promoted and make money. It's either promotion or making money!"

Wang Xingping smiled and said, "It has indeed risen~"

"Then we have to celebrate. I'll go get two bottles of wine."

As he said this, Chen Xin took two bottles of beer and opened them.

The two of them clinked their glasses, and Chen Xin then asked, "By the way, uncle, what benefits will you get after your promotion?"

"benefit……"

Wang Xingping thought about it.

Does it count as being able to face off against an evil spirit?

"The benefit is, of course, that I can get more buffet cards every month, and higher-end ones are not impossible."

"That's a good feeling."

Chen Xin said with a smile.

He knew that Wang Xingping was not telling the truth, but he didn't mind.

The meal was very relaxing, and the two chatted with each other about random things.

After dinner, the two walked back.

Along the way, Chen Xin always felt that Wang Xingping was a little absent-minded, and from time to time he would clench his hands and swing his arms.

It's like there's something in my hand.

Looking at the posture, Chen Xin suddenly understood what Wang Xingping was doing.

With a strange look in his eyes, Chen Xin walked to the bushes on the side of the road and picked up a branch.

He broke the fork and handed it to Wang Xingping.

"Give."

"what?"

Wang Xingping was puzzled.

"I see you're just waving your sword in the air. Here, I'll pick up a stick for you."

Looking at the branch, Wang Xingping took it helplessly.

"thank you!"

"You're welcome."

Chen Xin smiled, and then he heard his cell phone ringing.

When I took it out and looked, it was Zhou Lei's.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Jin Zi, why is there no one at your house?"

Listening to Zhou Lei's voice, Chen Xin suddenly realized.

"You went to my house? I wasn't home, I was at my uncle's."

"So should I come find you or where should we meet up?"

"What are you doing? I haven't typed anything for today yet."

Chen Xin declined politely.

"What for? I'm giving you a bracelet! I got it from Mubei City!"

"Oh, I forgot about that. Why don't you come to... my uncle's house?"

When Chen Xin said this, he looked at Wang Xingping and asked him. When he saw him nod, he replied to Zhou Lei.

"Okay, send me the address."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xin sent the address of Qingyi Community.

"your friend?"

"Well, he went to Mubei City to ask for a bracelet for me and is sending it to me now."

Chen Xin said.

"Oh? Mubei City...Zhenlong Temple?"

"Well, this should be it."

Chen Xin nodded.

"Zhenlong Temple? That's possible... I might not have been able to do it before, but now I've been promoted, right? Wait until I have time and I'll go over there and bring you a bunch."

Wang Xingping thought for a while and said.

"Huh? What you brought back is different from what my friend brought back?"

"Does your friend know the abbot of the temple?"

"No." Chen Xin thought about it and felt that Zhou Lei didn't seem like someone who could know the abbot of a big temple.

"Of course they are different. One is a Buddhist bead that has been blessed by the master, and the other is a Buddhist bead that has been processed by a machine. How can they be the same?"

“…So, it’s different.”

Chen Xin smiled, and at the same time gained some information from Wang Xingping's words.

There is really something interesting about Zhenlong Temple. I can go and see it when I go to school.

When the two were walking home, Zhou Lei had already arrived and was waiting on a shared bicycle.

Chen Xin greeted Zhou Lei and Wang Xingping, and then went upstairs together.

Only after entering Chen Xin's room did Zhou Lei relax.

"Jin Zi, is that your uncle? He wasn't this strong when I saw him before, right? It must hurt when he gets angry and hits people, right?"

Chen Xin was helpless.

People who follow the Yang style must be physically strong, which is why Chen Xin wore loose clothes. If he had just worn a tight vest, Zhou Lei would have been so jealous.

“He doesn’t hit people.”

Chen Xin said meaningfully.

"That's good... here you go."

Zhou Lei took out a bracelet from his bag and handed it to Chen Xin.

"This is called the Dragon-Suppressing Eighteen Seeds String! Look, this one is red agate, this one is golden bamboo, and this one is tiger... tiger eye stone, what is this one called?"

Zhou Lei only said a few and then forgot about them.

"Forget it, just know that this eighteen-seed string can ward off disasters. Oh, and wear it on your right hand."

"Left hand brings blessings, right hand wards off disasters!"

Listening to Zhou Lei talking a lot, Chen Xin laughed.

"Thanks."

"What are you thanking me for? I just hope no one else gets into trouble..."

Zhou Lei sighed, and then whispered: "Chen Xin, I'm not saying this, but I really think our world is not clean!"

“There’s nothing wrong with being skeptical of the world. That’s how great people are born.”

Chen Xin praised it, then turned around and found the paper-cut of Zhou Lei from the drawer.

"Chen Xin, I'm not kidding. Many people in Zhenlong Temple are asking for this bracelet... Uh, what is this?"

Zhou Lei was stunned when he saw the red paper-cut handed to him.

"The amulet can be placed in your wallet and carried with you."

"Where did you get this? I didn't know there were amulets of this shape."

Zhou Lei took the paper-cut and looked at it in confusion.

"I do it by myself."

"Uh, where did you learn how to make amulets?"

"In a forum, are you...interested?"

Chen Xin looked at Zhou Lei with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"What forum? Let me take a look."

Chen Xin opened the "Night Talk Folklore Forum" and showed Zhou Lei the posts about Zhuye Shizhen and Aizhang respectively.

As a result, Zhou Lei was still not satisfied after watching it, so he pushed Chen Xin away and sat on it himself.

"Jin Zi, you can do it, but...are the things on this kind of website true?"

"Maybe, I haven't experienced it."

"True, but what these people say makes sense. I'll write down the URL."

Seeing that Zhou Lei wanted to copy the URL, Chen Xin took the mouse and copied it directly, then opened WeChat and sent it to Zhou Lei.

"Haha, that's right."

Zhou Lei smiled awkwardly, and when he looked up, he saw the Zhuye Stone Seal on the bookshelf.

"This is quite exquisite, where did you buy it... Hey, wasn't there a post just now talking about this? You made this too!"

"Yes, I hired someone to carve it."

"You are great."

Zhou Lei played with it for a while and then put it down.

The two then chatted about some gossip and interesting things, and then Zhou Lei left.

After seeing Zhou Lei off, Chen Xin returned to his seat.

Looking at the bracelet, he remembered what Zhou Lei had not finished saying before.

'Many people have come to ask for bracelets...'

A lot of people?
If the eighteen dragon-suppressing seeds from the Zhenlong Temple could be compiled into a talisman, wouldn't hundreds or thousands of them be distributed every day?
This amount made Chen Xin's heart beat a little faster.

After calming down, he realized that things were not that simple.

First of all, he didn't know the production process of the Zhenlong Eighteen-Seed String. If he made it up and it was different from the production process of Zhenlong Temple, it would become two different things.

Secondly, he had to connect the Dragon-Suppressing Eighteen Seeds String to the supernatural events. If there were no supernatural events involved, Chen Xin's talisman would not have been successfully fabricated.

Only by solving these two problems can Chen Xin's vision be completed.

If successful, Chen Xin may no longer lack Yinde points in the future.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin turned his attention to the forum again.

"Let's not talk about the production process for now. Let's first see if there are any events related to the Zhenlong Temple Eighteen Seeds String in the forum. If there are, then half of the problem has been solved."

With some expectations, Chen Xin began his search.
