low-key warlock

The eighteenth day of the first lunar month.

The return peak period of the Spring Festival Transport has long passed, but the Pingyang Railway Station is still full of people, and the waiting hall is full of people and noisy.

It was not yet nine o'clock.

Su Chunfeng rushed to the waiting hall of the railway station early, put his suitcase and schoolbag in the storage room, called Zhang Lifei, then went downstairs and got out of the railway station, and took a taxi to the Pingyang shopping mall on the trading street.

The mall had just opened, and it was deserted inside.

"Grandpa, are things ready?" Su Chunfeng smiled and walked to the window of the handmade jewelry processing shop.

Bai Jingan, who was tidying up the small cabinet inside, turned around when he heard the words, walked to the table and sat down, and said, "Okay, young man, take a look, are you satisfied?" While speaking, he opened the drawer and took it out. Three exquisite small paper boxes, one long and two square, were placed on the window sill.

Su Chunfeng took out his wallet and counted out [-] yuan in cash, and handed it in together with the receipt: "This is [-] yuan. You always count it to see if it is true or not."

"Hey." Bai Jingan happily took the money in his hand, not in a hurry to count the money, but looked at Su Chunfeng.

Su Chunfeng opened the long paper box, inside was red velvet cloth and foam plywood, and hung a black necklace—the beads on the necklace were cylinders with a length of one centimeter and a diameter of about six to seven millimeters. There were sixty beads in total. , are closely connected, and the red line inside can hardly be seen. The interface is a metal opening and closing hook. The pendant is an octagon with a diameter of [-] cm. The front is carved with exquisite standard eight trigrams, and the middle is a yin and yang fish pattern. The hexagrams are painted with gold, the yang fish in the yin-yang diagram is painted white, the fish eyes are black, and the yin fish eyes are painted white; on the back of the pendant, simple and rough carving lines outline a vivid yin-yang fish pattern , there is no coloring distinction, but it seems to be slowly rotating, showing a sense of aura.

It can be said that the craftsmanship and carving skills of the entire necklace have reached the pinnacle level.

The fly in the ointment is that because of the material of the necklace, the surface of the apparently black material now looks dusty, without the slightest luster and slightly rough, as if it was made of sludge and air-dried.

Open two small square boxes, inside are the same two small pendants, worn with red thread.

The small pendant is three centimeters in diameter, and is also octagonal, carved with gossip and yin-yang fish patterns, and the edges seem to be carved or glued with a circle of hollowed-out round edges, which looks extraordinarily delicate.Just judging from the diameter, it is obvious that the two small demon bones that Su Chunfeng gave to Bai Jingan before could not be carved.

As if seeing Su Chunfeng's doubts, Bai Jing'an said: "The two small ones, I used to cut and polish the beads. These two small pendants are both made from the big one."

"Oh." Su Chunfeng nodded.

Although the volume of the two small demon bones is no smaller than the two small pendants, the plane is too small, so it is not suitable for making necklaces, and it is not beautiful to make.

So making the best use of everything is the best way.

Bai Jingan smiled and said: "Young man, I have been in this business for decades, and this is the third time I have come across similar materials. Don't think it looks dusty and ugly now, but after wearing it for a long time, from the inside It will become more and more smooth outside, as warm and shiny as suet jade, and then it will be really a good thing."

"Well, you have nothing to say about your old craftsmanship." Su Chunfeng gave a thumbs up, while putting the lid on the box and putting it in his satchel.

"And these." Bai Jingan handed over another small square box, and said, "The leftover scraps after processing."

Su Chunfeng smiled and said, "You should keep it."

"That won't work." Bai Jingan shook his head, and said with a serious expression: "First, it's too precious, and what I keep is against the rules. Second, it's too sinister, so I can't keep it, and it's no good. Young man , let me remind you, don't be unhappy, before people wear this thing, it's best to get it to a monk who has attained Taoism in the temple or find a Taoist priest to consecrate it, because things with heavy yin, Wearing it for a long time is easy to hurt the mind and body."

Su Chunfeng couldn't help being moved, nodded with admiration on his face, and praised: "You have good eyesight!"

Bai Jingan waved his hands, lowered his head and started counting the money.

"Old man, let's see you later."

"Ah."

Su Chunfeng picked up the box of scraps, put them in his pocket, turned and left.

The demon bone is indeed precious, but after carving out the main body of the magic weapon, the remaining scraps are basically useless to a warlock.

Just like chicken ribs, it is tasteless to eat and a pity to discard.

Of course, Su Chunfeng knew that for ordinary people, keeping such things as demon bones around for a long time would indeed have a great impact on their physical and mental health. Throw it away casually, but for an old artist like Bai Jingan who knows how precious it is, he is reluctant to throw away this kind of material.But it was not easy to keep it by his side, so Bai Jingan simply returned it to him.

Back to the train station, Wang Haifei and Zhang Lifei were already waiting for him in the waiting hall.

Chatting with them, apart from Zhang Lifei's father, Zhang Kaida, there were actually two siblings, Gong Xiaorui and Gong Xiaolei.

Su Chunfeng came forward and greeted Zhang Kaida politely, then smiled and said to Gong Xiaorui and Gong Xiaolei: "It's a coincidence that we meet again so soon, are we on the same train?"

"Yes." Gong Xiaorui said, "I'll transfer to Heilongjiang after arriving in Beijing."

Gong Xiaolei said: "Chunfeng, thank you for your help in the matter of years ago. In the future, we should keep in touch in the capital and come out and sit together when we have time."

"You're welcome." Su Chunfeng said, "You are always welcome to find me at Beijing University."

After chatting a few more words, Gong Xiaorui suddenly asked with a smile: "Su Chunfeng, why do you know brother Xu and my father?"

"Coincidentally." Su Chunfeng gave Gong Xiaorui a look casually, and then said: "Mr. And this year, Hengtong Trading has invested in Wantong Logistics, so the relationship between Mr. Xu and my dad has become even better."

In the words, Su Chunfeng easily brought the question of how to know Gong Xiaorui's father, and it would not make people feel inappropriate.

Gong Xiaorui and his younger brother looked at each other, nodded with a smile, and didn't tell the truth.

They understood that Wang Haifei and Zhang Lifei must not know Su Chunfeng's identity as a sorcerer.

"Invest in Vantone Logistics?" Zhang Kaida asked in surprise, "Chunfeng, is your company going to reorganize by attracting capital?"

"Well." Su Chunfeng said: "After I came back from the winter vacation a few years ago, the company had a shortage of liquidity, so I considered attracting capital to resolve the company's capital problems. Before the Lantern Festival, I had already signed a contract with all shareholders on the reorganization. Submit the declaration within [-] days, I think if it is fast, the capital injection should be possible by the end of next week.”

Zhang Kaida showed surprise and pity, and shook his head again and again: "This is too fast. If I knew that Wantong Logistics would attract capital to invest in shares, my company would definitely invest in it."

Su Chunfeng said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Uncle Zhang, I don't make decisions about this."

"It's okay, it's okay..." Zhang Kaida smiled and waved his hands, but there was still a look of pity in his expression - the profitability of the Kaida Activated Carbon Factory has been declining for the past two years, and he has been considering investing in other industries.As for Vantone Logistics, whether it is its market prospect or the future appreciation space of that piece of land, it is quite impressive.If he had known early on that Vantone Logistics was going to attract capital for equity reorganization, he would definitely invest in it without hesitation.

Zhang Lifei complained: "Then why don't you tell me, really."

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about these things." Su Chunfeng repeatedly apologized.

"What's the use of talking to you girl?" Zhang Kaida blamed with a smile, looked at his watch, and said, "Xiao Gong, you siblings and Li Fei should take care of each other on the road. Time is welcome to visit our house. I have something to go back quickly, so I won’t see you off, goodbye.”

Several people hurriedly agreed to say goodbye to him.

After Zhang Kaida left, Zhang Lifei said doubtfully: "Chunfeng, why is your Vantone Logistics selling shares at this time? My dad often said at home during the Chinese New Year that Vantone Logistics' business is booming now, and the land value keeps rising... ...If you sell part of the equity now, wouldn't you suffer a loss?"

"Funds are tight, there is no way." Su Chunfeng smiled and shook his head, thinking that Zhang Lifei was still worried about such things.

"Oh, what a pity." Zhang Lifei pouted and said angrily, "Look at you, you didn't tell me about such a big thing, are you afraid that our family will make money?"

Su Chunfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Where are you talking?"

"I don't care, you owe me this time anyway, hum." Zhang Lifei tilted her head and stretched out her arms to wrap around Wang Haifei's arm, jokingly said, "Haifei, have you seen Su Chunfeng's essence clearly? He, at all He didn't treat us as friends, he didn't even talk about such a big thing when he went to his house in the tenth day of the lunar new year."

"This is wrong to me." Su Chunfeng showed a helpless expression, thinking that if Zhang Kaida knew the reason behind the reorganization of Wantong Logistics, he would not dare to intervene, would he?

After joking and joking, seeing that it was almost time for ticket inspection, Su Chunfeng went to the depository to bring the bag.

After the ticket check began, he took on the role of porter again, pulling the suitcase and carrying the schoolbag, holding the big bags and small bags with his left and right hands and arms and pushing towards the ticket gate.

Gong Xiaorui, Gong Xiaolei, and Su Chunfeng were not in the same carriage, and they separated before entering the station.

Originally, when the two siblings got on the train, they wanted to find the compartment where Su Chunfeng and the others were in, and exchange tickets with the passengers next to them, so that everyone could sit together.But after entering the compartment, they found that there were too many passengers on the train and it was extremely crowded, it was really inconvenient to walk back and forth, so the siblings gave up.

After finding a seat and sitting down, Gong Xiaolei asked in a low voice: "Sister, do you think Zhang Lifei and Wang Haifei don't know that Su Chunfeng is a warlock?"

"Yeah." Gong Xiaorui nodded: "Didn't you hear what my father said? Su Chunfeng almost hid it from everyone before."

"Isn't this a silly hat?"

"What do you know?" Gong Xiaorui scolded: "Not everyone likes to show off. What's more, they are people like them... Father doesn't care much when he is old, but how old is Su Chunfeng? Think about it, right now In this society, let people know that he is a magic stick, don't talk about the limelight, I'm afraid he will be ridiculed to death."

Gong Xiaolei said disdainfully: "Hey, is he afraid of being laughed at if he has real skills?"

"Why aren't you afraid?"

"Look at our father now, who would mock him? Even a big boss like Lu Fukun has to go out of his way to curry favor with our father."

"You think too simply." Gong Xiaorui shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "Of course many people who don't know the truth will envy and envy our family's current living conditions, but in private, what do you think they will say?"

"This..." Gong Xiaolei was speechless for a while.
