18 Kirin

"What's going on?" I asked.

"My brother said that he had packed all the top kirins in the entire market, and he had only collected 120," said Lao Zhao, "But just now, his warehouse suddenly caught fire. By the time he discovered, the fire was already very big. After extinguishing, it was found that the ones on fire were several boxes of the kirins. The copper kirin, stone kirin and crystal kirin could still make do with it, but the yak bone kirin has been burned to ashes."

Keer, look at me.

I didn't say anything, put the cake in my mouth and started eating.

"Everything else is easy to say, but this yak bone kirin," Lao Zhao looked solemn. "There are not many objects of this material, especially the Qilin is even rarer. My brother not only swept the entire market inventory, but also transferred some goods from Panjiayuan, and then he gathered them all. It is no exaggeration to say that this fire burned more than half of the ox bone kirins in Shangjing. I can't get all this together tonight. So what should we do with our formation?"

"Yes, young master, what should I do?" Keer Ip Man.

I took a sip of barley tea, pondered for a moment, and asked Lao Zhao, "Where is the remaining Qilin now?"

"It's still in my buddy's warehouse," he said.

"Let him find three girls, each of whom guards a kind of kirin," I said, "Let's go directly to the warehouse after dinner."

"Okay!" Lao Zhao picked up his cell phone and called.

Ke'er approached me and lowered his voice, "Young Master, is this fire caused by the Jade Puppet Immortal?"

"Not her, who else can there be?"

Ke'er was puzzled, "But didn't she go to check in with Zhang Ergou? How could she still come out to set fire?"

My heart moved and I turned to look at her.

She was stunned by me, "What are you doing?"

"She has opened her eyes, which means that the blood curse on the jade puppet has been unlocked for more than half. She no longer needs blood and energy..." I looked at her and murmured to myself, "When you are hungry, you will never choose to eat. When you are not hungry, you will not choose to eat without eating..."

Ke'er understands it.

"Zhang Ergou, she didn't like it!" I looked at each other and spoke in unison.

"Then can you still use your trick?" Ke'er was worried, "If she didn't touch Zhang Ergou, she wouldn't dare to force herself to the slightest slut, right?"

I was silent.

Yes, what if the Jade Puppet Fairy doesn’t touch Zhang Ergou?

After Lao Zhao called and put down his cell phone, "Young master, I agreed that we will go to the warehouse after dinner."

I came to my senses and nodded, "Okay."

Ke'er is still waiting for my answer, "Young Master, you haven't said it yet! What should I do?"

"The soldiers come and the generals block the water, the soil covers the water," I picked up the chopsticks and said, "Let's have dinner first."

Ke'er said oh, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay then."

After dinner, we drove away from the South City and headed straight to the East Fifth Ring Road.

The Taikunou Antique Market is the largest antique city on Jingdong. It is larger than Panjiayuan. Both of Lao Zhao's stores are there. The guy who set up a Qilin for him is Song Tianhe, nicknamed Xiao Heizi, and his store is there too.

After arriving at Taigulou, we went directly to Song Tianhe's store - Fengguzhai.

After meeting and greetings, Lao Zhao introduced me and Song Tianhe. Just like before, he only said that I was his young master and did not mention my name.

Song Tianhe was also very smart. He held my hand with both hands and bowed to me, "Young master, lucky to know! Please take care of me in the future!"

I smiled awkwardly, "Okay."

Lao Zhao said to Song Tianhe, "Take us to the warehouse, the young master wants to check the unicorns in person."

"Okay!" Song Tianhe flashed and asked, "Young Master, the warehouse is there, please!"

"Please!" I said.

Fengguzhai is just a storefront, and the warehouse is in the community behind the Taikoo Building Market. The houses were rented by Song Tianhe. There were two houses in total, more than 200 square meters.

When he arrived at the warehouse, he took out the key and opened the door and invited us in.

After entering the door, we smelled a pungent smell of smoke, and it was obvious that something had just burned.

A girl with long hair heard the sound of the door opening and came out of the bedroom, "Brother Hei! Brother Fei! Keer!"

She knows Zhao Tuhao and Keer.

Ke'er also greeted her, "Sister Xu!"

Song Tianhe introduced to me, "Her name is Xu Jie, and she is my assistant."

Then he said to Xu Jie, "This is our young master!"

Xu Jie quickly said hello to me, "Hello, my name is Xu Jie!"

"Hello," I said, "Where is Qilin?"

"In the room", she flashed and asked, "Please, Master!"

We walked into the house and saw that there were two girls inside, one guarding a box, and another box belonging to Xu Jie.

"This young master is all called people!" Xu Jie said.

The two girls quickly bowed to me, "Young Master!"

I cleared my throat and told Song Tianhe to "open all the boxes."

"Okay!" Song Tianhe directed the girls, "Open the box!"

The three boxes opened one by one, and the Qilin inside revealed its true appearance.

I started with the bronze kirins guarded by Xu Jie, took them out one by one, and carefully checked them. The shapes of these kirins were different, and they were adjusted by Song Tianhe from the entire market. I don’t care about their shapes, I just look at whether their shapes can be used to arrange the array.

"When the fire broke out, many of these kirins were burned," Xu Jie said, "We just cleaned them all, there are still some traces of the fire. Look, for example, here..." She pointed to the neck of the kirin in my hand and showed me, and there was obviously a trace there.

"It's not intrusive", I said lightly, put down the Qilin and continued to check the next one.

I used for more than twenty minutes to check for forty Qilins, and then I finished checking them. As a result, there were only twelve of them that could be used, and nothing else could be used.

"Apart from these twelve, the others are not up to par with the requirements." I took the hot towel handed over by Xu Jie and said while wiping my hands.

"No way..." Song Tianhe was surprised, picked up a kirin and looked at it, and asked me, "Young Master, the material and appearance of this kirin are not only of high-quality, but also of medium-sized, so why can't it be used?"

"From the perspective of handicrafts, it is indeed a good thing." I returned the towel to Xu Jie, "but it is not possible to use it to set up the array."

"Can you tell me why?" Song Tianhe was puzzled.

"The first thing used to set up a formation must be a Qilin, and the second must be in line with the shape." I took the Qilin in his hand, "For example, this one has its head to suppress the tomb and ward off evil spirits, but its butt is a Pixiu, and it has four wings. The shape is beautiful, but it is not a Qilin, but a monster."

I put down the Qilin and picked up another one, "Look at this one again. It is a Qilin, but it has broken teeth in its mouth. There is a broken toe in the front left hoof and the back right hoof. This Qilin uses a wax molded blank, and there is no technical problem with casting, so the broken teeth and toe are purely a problem with the blank. This is not a problem in craftsmanship, but it is called a congenital deficiency when used in Feng Shui. Such a Qilin is not strong enough. After entering the formation, it can only be used as a substitute for the house. It can be used to do important things, but it is not possible at all!"

"So that's how it is..." Song Tianhe suddenly realized and sighed, "I've learned more, I've really gained more knowledge!"

I handed the Qilin to Xu Jie, then walked to a girl and continued to check on the Shi Qilin she was guarding.

Old Zhao was unsure, so he came to me and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, since there is not enough copper, is this stone still useful?"

"It's useful", I picked up a kirin, looked carefully, and put it aside.

Lao Zhao didn't dare to ask more questions, so he turned to look at Song Tianhe.

Song Tianhe understood what he meant, "I will contact my friends from other places immediately and let them send all the kirins they could find overnight."

"Okay!" Old Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, I will continue these Qilins, including those that have been burned, as much as you should!"

"We don't need to say this," Song Tianhe said, "As long as you are fine, this Qilin is mine!"

"Brother Hei is just good!" Ke'er raised his thumb.

Song Tianhe smiled, "Your Brother Fei helped me block the knife. We two brothers are a life-long friendship, and this is nothing."

It seems that Zhao Tuhao still has real friends.

Zhao Fei patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, I remember everything in my heart, but I have to pay the money myself. If you do a good job for me, you will do your best to your buddy."

Song Tianhe nodded, and then asked me carefully, "Young Master, how about these stone kirins?"

I was looking at a Qilin in a daze. When he asked, I glanced at him and put the Qilin down.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Tuhao asked quickly, "Not even possible?"

"No need to transfer goods", I made up my mind, "A different method to arrange the formation!"
