After changing his mind, William Wang left the shopping mall and went to the old street, where there were not so many fashion brands.
I flagged down a taxi, but it took me about 20 minutes to get to my destination.
Get off the bus, it's a shop.
But it's not a trinket shop, it's a gold shop.
A gold ring?
Wouldn't it be a bit pompous?
William Wang looked at the only signboard on the small façade and was a little stunned.
It's been a while.
"Sir, would you like to come in and have a look?"
A man with a pair of black-framed glasses, gray hair, a wrinkled face, and a vest like a passing uncle asked William Wang with a smile.
"Huh?
Oh!
William Wang came back to his senses and glanced at the uncle.
The uncle smiled and nodded, and opened the lock on the door.
"You're the owner of this shop?"
Only then did William Wang notice that the door of the store was locked.
"yes!"
The old man smiled and nodded.
The door opened, and William Wang walked in with him.
This is a very old-fashioned gold shop, as soon as the door opens, there is a statue of Guan Erye at the door, and it is estimated that there is such a god in the storefront of no more than ten square meters, and it instantly becomes very crowded.
Therefore, the counter is not large, and there are more than a dozen rings, necklaces and earrings scattered inside.
All of them are made of gold, without any precious stones, and they are placed on the red silk cloth, which has a special and elegant beauty.
"There are some new styles here, and there are some old styles that can't be placed here."
The old man sat down on the chair behind the counter that looked a little shabby, smiled and looked at William Wang from the top of his reading glasses, "Young man, are you going to buy jewelry for your girlfriend?"
” “…… Well, the ring.
William Wang nodded, still looking at the small shop.
"Although my shop is small, but in a is also some years, since my grandfather began our family to do this, pay attention to a child is not bullied, you can rest assured, I sell things, full of real gold."
The old man looked at William Wang looking at the store, and explained with a smile.
Indeed, this thing is gold......
Trust is important.
"Hmm."
William Wang replied very insincerely.
"Do you want to see the ring?
I want to think about it......
Well, in addition to the few placed here, there are more than a dozen styles of ......
I'll show you ......"
The old man got up from the chair he had just sat down in and walked towards a safe next to him.
"Old man, you ......"
"It's okay, it's okay."
The old man shook his head with a smile, "Even if you don't buy it, take a look."
I haven't seen a young guest in years.
It's basically been some old customers all these years......"
The old man seems to have entered a nagging mode.
As he spoke, he took out twenty jewelry boxes from the safe next to him.
"Look, here."

The old man smiled and took out a box made of purple velvet that looked very fashionable, and it seemed to have an indescribable incompatibility with this store, opened it, and showed it to William Wang.
"I really don't need to!"
William Wang had an apologetic smile on his face.
He was going to leave, however......
Seeing the ring, the smile on William Wang's face disappeared.
Got serious.
"How's it going, this ring?"
The old man looked at William Wang's serious attitude, and smiled instead.
"Sir, how much is your ring?"
"Three thousand."
"It's not cheap!"
"Of course!
This ring will bless you with many children!
” "So, you know that this ring is not an ordinary thing, and you still sell it to ordinary people?"
William Wang raised his eyes and glanced at the old man. “…… What?
The smile on the old man's face must be good.
William Wang didn't answer, just looked at the old man.
In an instant, William Wang clearly felt that this old man was definitely not simple, because he felt that the old man seemed to be using some spell like mind reading.
It's just different from what I've learned before, it's neither an onmyoji system nor a European spell system.
So, I can just feel it, but I can't understand what it's all about.
"Who are you?"
The old man's brow furrowed, it was clear that his spell should have failed.
"A man who came to buy a ring......"
"Which family are you a disciple?
If you hide it like this, I'll make you unqualified!
The old man waved his hand and interrupted William Wang's truth.
Because he doesn't believe it. “…… What kind of disciple?
How can you be unqualified?
William Wang was stunned and confused.
Then, as if I understood something.
"Here you are......
Is it still an assessment point??
” “…… Are you really just passing through?
The old man was a little embarrassed by William Wang's rhetorical question.
"Yes!
I just came to the old street to see if there was a place to buy a ring or something, and then the taxi dropped me off in front of your shop. ” “…… So are you going to buy it?
The old man pushed the ring in front of William Wang again.
"There's a spell on it......
And I don't know what the spell is, sir, do you think I dare to buy it?
William Wang shook his head.
"You don't know, but you can feel it?
You are......
Thai or island?
” "I ......
It should be said that it is Chinese.

William Wang thought for a while and replied: "It's just that I know something, it's not the same system as yours." ” "There's a send-off spell on this ring."
The old man saw that William Wang said very sincerely, so he believed him, "Wearing this ring will make it easy for you to have children, and you will be blessed with more children!"
I've just said it all. ” “…… Multi-child ......
How blessed?
William Wang was stunned for a moment, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"yes!"
The old man said this, and the smile on his face was still very sincere, "The previous owner of this ring gave birth to thirteen children. ” “…… The previous owner?
Are you still recycling?
” "I recycled it and reshaped it, and then sold it to the next destined person."
"So you have a lot of these rings?"
William Wang was a little speechless for a while, so the population explosion has something to do with you?
"How could there be many!"
The old man shook his head, "This piece of gold is different from ordinary ones, it belongs to heaven and earth spiritual objects.
It could even be a fragment of an ancient artifact. ” "So, this spell has nothing to do with you?"
"This kind of spell is intercepted, and the interception has been lost for thousands of years."
The old man smiled, "Young man, what genre are you from?"
” "I ......
It's a psychic. ” "Psychic?
European genre?
The old man thought for a moment and nodded, "But it's not the first time I've met a psychic!"
Why are my spells completely ineffective against you?
” "Oh, I'm naturally immune to all kinds of spells."
William Wang smiled. “…… Innate immunity?
Then you're not ......"
The old man's eyes widened instantly.
"Old man, you are not an ordinary person, why do you open a gold shop here?"
William changed the subject.
He didn't want to talk too much about himself.
"Didn't you just guess it all?
I'm here for an assessment point......"
"The assessment point doesn't have to be a gold store!
Also sells jewelry......"
"As I said, my family has been in the gold jewelry business for several generations, and the son is just inheriting his father's business."
The old man obviously didn't want to talk about his own business either.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Do you have a normal gold ring here?"
"Yes, I can engrave runes for you."
The old man said to William Wang. “…… You ......"
William Wang was stunned.
"I said I had dealings with psychics."
The old man glanced at William Wang, "I know about the runes of the psychic, and I have also helped a few friends make rings with runes." ” "Is there a women's ring?
I'm sorry you could help me make one with runes.
Well, plain rings are good.
William Wang thought for a moment and said his request.
"Women's?

To whom?
The old man's brow furrowed.
Your girlfriend?
” "Hmm."
"Young man, don't think about using spells to trap your girlfriend, you will be punished." “…… It's not trapping, it's protecting.
William Wang was stunned for a moment and smiled.
"What protection is to be helped with runes?"
The old man looked incredulous, "Don't lie to me." ” "Three spells......
Well, it can be simplified to two, an exorcism spell and a blood spell.
William Wang said calmly.
In fact, he still lied, and he thought it was better not to say the hypnotic spell.
"Exorcism?"
"Yes!
Because of my relationship, God knows if she will be retaliated against by some strange existence or something, there is such a thing, so that most of the interference can be spared. ” "As far as I know, the exorcism spell doesn't have this ability, and a slightly more powerful curse is ......"
"That's someone else.
I......
It's not an ordinary person.
William Wang smiled and spread his hands.
"What kind of blood curse is that blood curse?"
"What are you doing with so much?"
William Wang suddenly felt that this old man was really a little long-winded.
"I can't let what I've sold become an accomplice to someone else's evil spell."
The old man said seriously: "Especially if you do this, I will definitely not be able to do anything about you." ” "Use the magic energy in my blood to protect the person wearing this ring, if she encounters something deadly and evil, it will burn my blood to defend her."
William Wang explained very sincerely in words that the old man could understand. “…… And such spells?
The old man looked ridiculous.
"Don't you have a friend of a psychic?
If they really knew how to use runes, they probably should know about the spell.
William Wang nodded.
Of course, no one in the average psychic would use this. ” "Why......
Oh!
It's dangerous for yourself.
The old man nodded.
However, I still picked up the phone next to it.
William Wang hadn't seen a telephone landline for a while......
For a few minutes, William Wang could understand Portuguese.
"Where did you learn spiritism?"
The old man hung up the phone, and then looked at William Wang.
"I can understand Portuguese."
William Wang changed his answer.
The old man was stunned for a moment and smiled.
Just now, his friend wanted him to ask him to learn the blood spell from William Wang, because although his friend knew that this spell existed, he couldn't ......
"Okay, I see.
When do you want a ring?
” "Can you get it done this afternoon?
I......

It may be sent out in the evening. ” "Oh yes, it's Valentine's Day today."
The old man smiled and shook his head, "Okay, if you want to wait here, just wait for an hour, if you don't, just go out for a while, and come back to pick it up in an hour." ” As he spoke, he dragged something from under the counter that looked like a small workbench and turned on a lamp that looked a little old next to it.
Then, from the workbench, a piece of yellow paper was taken out.
"The second master over there has cinnabar under the platform, you go and get it and draw your runes on it.
I'll give you a prime ring first.
The old man put all the rings he had just taken out back into the safe, and at the same time took out a thin gold bar from it.
It looks like the material of the ring.
Handmade!
It's just yellow paper with cinnabar......
It's so much fun!
Wang William smiled and according to the old man's words, took out cinnabar and a brush from the drawer under the table, and then took a little cinnabar with water and mud, dipped it with a brush, and drew his own eye symbol on the yellow paper.
"It's a very simple rune shape!"
The old man struck the gold bar with a rubber hammer on the workbench and glanced at the runes drawn by William Wang.
"Complex runes are prone to error, and simplicity has the power of simplicity."
William Wang smiled.
"I've heard that the simpler a psychic's rune is, the stronger the person's abilities."
The old man was still tapping the gold bar seriously, "It seems that you are indeed a very powerful psychic!"
” "I also know a psychic whose rune is a slightly curved line."
William Wang remembered Irene and shook his head with a smile.
"Oh!
Is there still such a person?
The old man was obviously stunned and smiled, "Sure enough, there are still many kinds of people in this world!"
Okay, you can leave the ...... now."
"It's okay, I don't have anything to do when I go out."
William Wang shook his head with a smile, "There are pairs everywhere on the street, and I'd better be honest and don't make trouble for the little girl selling flowers on the street." ” "Whatever you want!"
The old man smiled and shook his head, and went on with his work.
A gold bar was hammered into a simple ring with his skillful hammer.
After that, the old man pasted the yellow paper drawn by William Wang on the lampshade of the table lamp, put a magnifying glass between the table lamp and the ring on the workbench, gathered all the light emitted by the table lamp on the ring, and took out a mahogany sword from under the counter.
"Do you want this charm to be engraved on the inside of the ring or on the inside?"
The old man took off the reading glasses he was wearing, looked at William Wang and asked.
"Inside refers to ......"
"You can't see it from the outside, inside and outside."
"Oh, it's best on the inside, it's going to be ground on the inside or outside, right?"
"Okay."
The old man nodded, stood up, and recited a mantra earnestly to the lamp.
William Wang had a novel expression on his face beside him.
It's the first time I've seen such a combination of ancient and modern spells......
IT IS INTERESTING.
Then William Wang saw that the talisman he had drawn was burning on the lampshade.
After a moment's exhalation, it was gone, leaving only a wisp of smoke.
The old man put the mahogany sword back under the counter, sat down again, and removed the ring from the workbench.
"Do you want a box?"
The old man asked William Wang.
"Oh!
Want.

William Wang nodded.
The old man also nodded, took out a red velvet jewelry box from under the counter, put the ring inside, and handed it to William Wang.
"How much?"
William Wang opened the box, took out the ring again, put it in his hand and sensed it, and could feel that there was indeed his own rune inside, but he couldn't see it from the outside.
Although he was a little surprised, he still asked the old man very seriously.
"One thousand and five."
The old man casually quoted a price.
"Can I swipe my card?"
"Of course."
The old man took out the POS machine from under the counter.
After paying and completing the formalities, William Wang put the ring back into the jewelry box.
A wonderful combination of tradition and modernity, metaphysics and science......
For a moment, William Wang suddenly felt that it was really interesting to open such a store.
"If I still have these needs in the future......
Can I come back to you?
William Wang asked the old man.
"Of course!
Who is still in business who refuses to buy and sell?
The old man said with a smile.
"Then I'm leaving......
Well, I wish you a happy Lantern Festival. ” "Lantern Festival......
Oh!
Yes, today is still the Lantern Festival.
I wish you a happy Lantern Festival!
Lad......"
William Wang smiled and walked out of the humble shop.
Then, as if thinking of something again, he turned around and walked into the store again.
"Anything else?"
The old man looked at William Wang and walked in again, stunned.
"The ring from before......
Sell it to me too!
” “…… All right.
The old man smiled
