"You are purely judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart."

In response to Bao Longtu's accusation, Fang Yuan shook his head and said: "I didn't hide anything. The thing I bought at the beginning was just a very ordinary jade gourd. That thing is not a magic weapon."

While talking, Fang Yuan took out the jade gourd from his pocket and put it on the table for the two of them to look at.

"Young man." Bao Longtu naturally didn't believe it: "I really think I don't have enough education. I think I don't know that gourds have been a symbol of blessings since ancient times. Especially in Boss Xiong's shop, there are seventeen or eight at a glance.

Gourd, so without you having to tell me, I know that this thing must be a typical representative of a magic weapon."

"Brother Bao is smart, he knows the smallest things." Xiong Mao praised very much: "There is an ancient poem that goes like this: gourds are painted on the walls and beams, and the nine schools and three schools teach Kungfu. Everyone living in the house has different skills, and there are many doctors and divination stars. This shows that gourds have the potential to open up.

It has the functions of luck, dispelling evil spirits and health care.”

"The gourd's mouth has a small mouth and a big belly, which symbolizes a full treasury, bringing wealth and blessings. It can increase wealth and attract wealth from all directions. The shape of the gourd's arc symbolizes the harmony of interpersonal relationships, widening popularity, and the effect of absorbing evil and eliminating evil.

.”

Xiong Mao enumerated the list and went on and on: "There are many seeds hidden in the natural gourd, which also means many children and grandchildren, and a prosperous population. In short, the gourd has a homophonic meaning of fortune and has been used to attract wealth and blessings since ancient times.

items. It is said that hanging a gourd at home can bring good fortune, safety and health to the home."

"Of course, although gourds have many symbolic meanings and are often closely related to Feng Shui, not all gourds are Feng Shui instruments."

After talking a lot, Xiong Mao changed his subject: "As Master Fang said, the jade gourd in front of you is really just an ordinary pendant, not a precious magic weapon."

"Huh?" Bao Longtu was stunned: "Isn't it said that the gourd has many wonderful uses? Why is it not a magic weapon? Could it be that the thing is too small to form an aura?"

Bao Longtu is very progressive and knows how to connect the jade gourd with the aura.

"It's true that the jade gourd has no aura, but it has nothing to do with the size." Xiong Mao picked up the jade gourd, looked at it, and then analyzed: "The shape of the gourd is well carved, but the problem is that these bursting stone tendons were not properly dealt with. You

Look, these stone tendons are as messy as flax, which can easily block the aura's concentration."

While speaking, Xiong Mao shook his head and sighed: "In the final analysis, it is still a problem with the material itself. After a piece of scrap iron has been tempered for many times, there is still the possibility of turning it into steel. But for a stubborn stone, it is estimated that only the hands of gods can turn it into steel.

It’s golden.”

"Really an ordinary thing?"

After receiving a positive reply, Bao Longtu was very surprised: "In this case, what did you buy it for?"

"Yes." At the same time, Xiong Mao also realized that the quality of the jade gourd was not very good, and it was not a magical weapon. What did Fang Yuan buy it for?

"Don't tell me that you plan to collect and appreciate it." Bao Longtu said suspiciously: "You know that such things have no value for collection and appreciation."

"Who said it has no value?" Fang Yuan corrected: "Everything has its value, the difference is just big or small. For example, this cigarette rod, even if I don't smoke, I can still play with it or use it.

Use it to scratch an itch, or use it to hit someone on the back, or even use it to hit someone directly..."

"We are asking about the jade gourd. We don't need to go that far." Bao Longtu warned: "You are talking about him like this, but it shows that you have a guilty conscience."

"I don't have a guilty conscience." Fang Yuan shook his head, and then said frankly: "But you also guessed one thing right. The main reason why I bought this jade gourd is because I think it is very interesting."

"Interesting?" The two people next to them were stunned for a moment: "What's the interest?"

"This little gourd is very strange." Fang Yuan commented: "The aura is scattered and gathered at a very subtle critical point. Just a little bit away, the aura can be condensed to form a magic weapon. However, just like a bear

The boss said that the stone tendons on the gourd's body are relatively messy, which hinders the aura's aggregation and puts it in a very embarrassing state."

"Yes, that's it." Xiong Mao nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Fang Yuan's analysis.

"But in this way, I discovered a detail that is easy to ignore." Fang Yuan muttered: "Since the jade gourd is covered with stone tendons, it is difficult to condense the aura, so how can there be a floating aura around it?

Lingering?"

"Um?"

Suddenly, Xiong Mao felt a slight shock in his heart, and his eyes shone a little: "It's a little weird."

"Of course, there are several possibilities for this situation." Xiong Mao thought for a while and listed: "First, the gourd itself is made of extraordinary material. The presence of stone tendons is only a superficial phenomenon, but in fact, it is a good piece of jade inside.

.”

"This possibility is too small." Bao Longtu retorted: "If it were a jade the size of a fist, it might still be possible. But this jade gourd is only the size of a thumb, and the stone tendons must have completely penetrated into it. No.

There may be some inside show."

"That's right." Xiong Mao nodded, and then said with a smile: "Then there is another possibility. The jade gourd was once placed together with another magical weapon with a strong aura. Under the subtle influence, it was also contaminated by a lot of

Aura.”

"This reasoning is relatively reliable." Bao Longtu asked quickly: "Wanzi, when you found the jade gourd, did you notice any powerful magic weapon next to it?"

"If I had, I would have bought it a long time ago. Why wait until you remind me now." Fang Yuan shook his head and suddenly asked: "Boss Xiong, do you have a carving knife here?"

"Carving knife?" Xiong Mao was stunned.

"It is not necessary to carve a knife." Fang Yuan added: "As long as it is sharp enough to carve stone, it will be fine."

"Uh, let me take a look..." Xiong Mao thought thoughtfully and went directly to the tool box on the counter to rummage through it.

"Why do you want to carve the knife?" At this time, Bao Longtu was very puzzled: "You don't really think that there is good jade hidden inside the small gourd, so you plan to dissect it?"

"No," Fang Yuan said with a smile, "I just want to do a small experiment."

"What test?" Bao Longtu asked.

At the same time, Xiong Mao directly moved the toolbox over, and then gestured: "Master Fang, there are no carving knives, but there are quite a few saws and files. By the way, there are also screwdrivers. Can you take care of them?"

"Well, let me see..."

Fang Yuan took a quick look, and then selected a flat-blade screwdriver that was relatively handy among the pile of tools. Then he sharpened the blade of the screwdriver on a setter, which was enough for use.

After everything was ready, Fang Yuan picked up the screwdriver and carefully carved on the jade gourd.

"What are you doing?" Bao Longtu was very strange and couldn't help asking.

"Let's do an experiment." Fang Yuan said casually without raising his head: "Don't worry, you will know in a while. The premise is that I succeed, otherwise everything will stop..."

As he spoke, Fang Yuan focused more on the work at hand, rubbing the screwdriver on the small gourd bit by bit, slowly cutting off the messy stone tendons and turning them into lines of different lengths.

At the beginning, Xiong Mao didn't know what Fang Yuan was doing, but as time went by, the lines of different lengths gradually became clear and obvious, and they were arranged according to certain rules.

Seeing this situation, Xiong Mao's expression also changed, with an expression of surprise and realization: "Ah, it turns out to be... I see, no wonder there is a floating aura lingering around..."

"What is it?" Bao Longtu asked hurriedly: "Boss Xiong, don't imitate him and tell me."

"That's the Bagua talisman."

Xiong Mao explained and sighed: "No wonder there is an aura floating in it. It turns out that it is in the lower abdomen of the little gourd, that is, the stone tendons that are all around the abdomen, vaguely forming a pattern similar to the Bagua rune pattern. But it is regrettable.

What's strange is that this natural Bagua rune pattern has not been completely formed, otherwise this small gourd would definitely be a top-notch magic weapon."

"It's just a little short of it. A natural Bagua gourd can be made. However, God doesn't give face to it. He asked people to dig out this piece of jade before the Bagua texture has taken shape. It's really a waste of natural resources."

Xiong Mao sighed sadly, his tone full of regret.

For a moment, Bao Longtu was a little confused: "In other words, he is now carving out the Eight Diagrams runes based on the texture of these stone bars, modifying them, and carving them out?"

"That's right, that's it." Xiong Mao nodded, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. It seemed that he had made a mistake again. He looked at the jade gourd for a long time, but he didn't find that the arrangement of the stone tendons was similar to the Bagua pattern. It really shouldn't be.

.

"Can the small gourd become a magic weapon by carving out the Eight Diagrams symbols?" Bao Longtu was very smart and immediately asked the most critical question.

"There is a possibility." Xiong Mao nodded lightly, but hesitated: "Of course, it is only possible, that's why Master Fang said he wanted to do an experiment. After all, there is a certain degree of unpredictability in the aura of the magic weapon.

Especially if the material itself is not very good, it is naturally more difficult to turn decay into something magical."

"oh."

Bao Longtu had some understanding. For example, if he is a top student and wants to be the first in the class, it may be a logical thing. But for a scumbag who is at the bottom of the school and wants to be the first in the class, this is definitely a problem.

A process of hard work is equivalent to a long march of 25,000 miles, and faces the risk of countless failures.

It should be noted that Fang Yuan is not a professional engraver. Now he is picking and polishing bit by bit with a screwdriver. In order to prevent the failure of his work due to a wrong hand, he is very focused and does not dare to be careless at all.

Ten minutes passed, and a layer of white sweat quietly appeared on Fang Yuan's forehead. It seemed like a simple job, but it also made him quite embarrassed. But all the hard work was worth it. Unknowingly,
Chapter completed!
