Chapter 182: Stinky Pot

At some point, Qi Xuansu began to believe what Qi Niang said about "luck conservation", which probably means that after bad luck, good luck will come next.

In ancient Chinese, it is "blessings are hidden in the place of misfortunes, and misfortunes are the place of blessings".

Blessings and misfortunes are interdependent.

The reason why Qi Xuansu believed it was related to his experience. For example, in Yulan Temple, he was plotted against by Monk Yanxiu and almost died under the power of Wu Luo. This was bad luck, but then he turned a disaster into a blessing and opened the "Xuan Yu", which was undoubtedly good luck.

Qi Xuansu felt that his luck had not been very good during this period of time, and perhaps good luck was in the "Xuan Xuan Jar" in front of him.

So Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment and said to Su Yan, "Let's try one first."

Su Yan said calmly, "The Xuanxuan jars are only sold within the Taoist sect, so there is no so-called preferential price. Five hundred Taiping coins each, pick whatever you want."

Qi Xuansu had never picked such a thing before, so he could only weigh it like picking a watermelon, then knock it with his fingers to listen for the sound, and finally chose a relatively inconspicuous jar. It was probably because it had been placed for a long time, and a layer of dust had accumulated on the talisman paper on the jar.

Su Yan saw that Qi Xuansu had picked the Xuanxuan jar and said, "Just peel off the talisman paper on the jar mouth."

To be honest, she was also a little curious about what was in these Xuanxuan jars. After all, these Xuanxuan jars had been piled here before she became the chief Taoist priest. Since she became the chief Taoist priest, she has only opened five jars, all of which were opened by high-quality Taoist priests for fun. Without exception, they were all garbage.

There was a mysterious jar that contained a female ghost, a fierce ghost that could hurt people's lives. As soon as it left the jar, it bared its fangs and claws, and was directly eliminated by Su Yan.

There was also a mysterious jar that contained a talisman of unknown meaning. The moment the mysterious jar was opened, the talisman teleported the person who opened the jar to the Wutong Courtyard.

What's more annoying is that there was a second mysterious jar in a mysterious jar, and the second mysterious jar contained a third mysterious jar, and this nested dolls five times. The last mysterious jar contained a mutated blood dragon pill of unknown value and meaning, which was very bad.

The high-quality Taoist who opened the jar didn't believe in evil, and directly swallowed the blood dragon pill, whose appearance had even become colorful. As a result, his cultivation was indeed improved, but he was also poisoned, and half of his body could not move. He lay in the Huasheng Hall for half a month.

The most valuable is the guaranteed 100 Taiping coins. Because of the long history, the old version of the official notes in the Xuanxuan jar has stopped issuing. It has a certain collection value and can be sold for 200 Taiping coins.

In fact, as the main successor of the former creation project, Huashengtang conducts a lot of exploration every year. In the process of exploration, there will be gains, but it is inevitable that many useless or meaningless things will be produced. Huashengtang is not like Tianjitang. In Tianjitang, at most, it will be directly recycled, but many things in Huashengtang are irreversible. They are both dangerous and valuable, and difficult to handle.

So a certain Huashengtang head had an idea and invented the "Xuanxuan jar". All these tasteless chicken ribs are put into the jar, and then one or two valuable things are put in the jar to attract others to try their luck, so as to relieve the double pressure of the warehouse and finance.

Of course, the Xuanxuan jar will not be fake. If it says there is a treasure inside, then there is definitely a treasure. The Huashengtang will not play such a trick. It depends on luck whether you can get it.

At the beginning, many people were indeed attracted by this new thing and bought it. It really made Huashengtang a lot of money. Every Taoist priest in Huashengtang received a subsidy of more or less.

Until one time, a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest opened a Xuanxuan jar worth nearly 100,000 Taiping coins in public in one breath. As a result, a pile of garbage was opened. The 100,000 Taiping coins became 1,000 Taiping coins. Even the residence in Taishangfang was transferred. It can be said that he lost all his money. This made the trend of opening jars slightly curbed.

Later, another wealthy customer challenged the treasure probability of the Xuanxuan jar and spent a fortune. He opened three treasures from the Xuanxuan jar with 200,000 Taiping coins, one of which was a top-grade treasure worth 50,000 Taiping coins. In total, he recovered 80,000 Taiping coins and lost 120,000 Taiping coins.

Soon after this incident, Fengxiantang intervened in the investigation and arrested the wealthy customer who became famous in one battle. It turned out that the huge sum of 200,000 Taiping coins was embezzled from the Taoist Duzhitang. Soon, the wealthy customer pleaded guilty and was confiscated of all his property. Fengxiantang went to Huashengtang to recover the stolen money, but the jar had already been opened, so Huashengtang naturally did not agree to refund the money. The two families started a lawsuit again, which lasted all the way to Jinque and ended in nothing.

After this incident, the reputation of the Xuanxuan jar was completely ruined, and people called it "the stinky jar".

In view of this situation, whoever opens these Xuanxuan jars is wronged. So these Xuanxuan jars that were not sold in time were always piled up here, no one cared about them, and naturally no one knew what was inside.

There was a table not far away. Qi Xuansu took the selected Xuanxuan jar to the table, put the jar on the table, and slowly opened the talisman paper sealing the mouth of the jar.

In an instant, the whole jar began to disintegrate and shatter, and a ball of soft light spread from the inside to the outside, illuminating the faces of Qi Xuansu and Su Yan.

After a moment, the light gradually dissipated.

There is one more piece of clothing on the table. A woman's dress.

The upper jacket and lower skirt are mainly white, with a cyan collar. The skirt and cuffs are decorated with pleated light cyan ruffles imitating the ancient "embroidery". The expression on Qi Xuansu's face was between anger and laughter, pain and joy. After a long time, he slowly said: "Does Huashengtang still do tailoring work?"

Su Yan's expression was unnatural, and he coughed lightly: "Huashengtang does not do tailoring, but when imitating clothing treasures and designing armor, tailoring skills are involved. This dress may be a work of practice, and the craftsmanship is still there. Not bad.”

Qi Xuansu was still unwilling to give up: "Since it is a hand-training work, it should have the appearance of spiritual objects."

Su Yan took a closer look at the women's clothing: "The training I'm talking about is the training of tailors, not the training of imitation treasures."

Qi Xuansu's face froze: "In other words, this is an ordinary piece of clothing?"

Although the Xuanxuan jar has become "stinky" among the elders of the Taoist sect, it is still very mysterious to young people and people outside the Taoist sect. Su Yan also felt a little embarrassed and explained: "It can't be said that it is It’s ordinary, the material is quite good, at least it’s not afraid of water damage, and I can guarantee that there are no second-hand items in the Xuanxuan jar, they are all new.”

Qi Xuansu laughed angrily and said, "Brand new ordinary clothes."

Su Yan said nothing.

Qi Xuansu took a deep breath and comforted himself. The five hundred Taiping money should be used as a gift for Zhang Yuelu. After all, Zhang Yuelu gave him a cloak, but he didn't give Zhang Yuelu anything. This time, he made up for it.

And to be honest, regardless of the price of 500 Taiping, this dress is still quite beautiful, and it will definitely look good on Zhang Yuelu.

Thinking like this, Qi Xuansu finally managed to calm down.

But then, reluctance and regret came to my mind again.

That's five hundred Taiping money.

What's wrong?

Even buying a few pieces of decent furniture for Yu Jing's home is much better than buying a piece of clothing that is far less worth 500 Taiping.

Qi Xuansu looked back at the pile of Xuanxuan jars, and the idea of ​​conservation of luck gradually occupied his mind.

If there is bad luck first, then good luck should follow.

If he just gave up, wouldn't he miss out on good luck? It's like losing five hundred Taiping money in vain.

There is also a limit of 500 Taiping coins...

So Qi Xuansu once again fell into the battle between heaven and man.

Do you want to make up for it again?

If you make up for it, you will not only get your money back, but you can even make a small profit.

If you don't make up for it, you will lose 500 Taiping in vain, but you can stop the loss in time.

Qi Xuansu felt as if there were two voices intertwining in his heart.

Be firm and must hold back.

Luck is conserved, and you will definitely have better luck next time.

After a moment like this, Qi Xuansu made up his mind: "One more."

Su Yan was not surprised and just said: "Good luck."
