Marvel's Papa Antique Store

Chapter 2, Ancient One's Meeting Ceremony
At Laopa Antique Store, five wooden plaques carved in traditional Chinese characters hang on the door, and the paint is faintly peeled off.

The house as a whole presents the ancient architectural style of Huaguo. It is three stories high and is constructed of bricks and tiles. The brick-red house stands out from the surrounding white-toned houses, which seems a bit out of place.

The gate is also an old-fashioned wooden gate, tattered and tattered. Cheng Xiaoyu doubts that the gate is at risk of falling down at any time, oh no, the whole house is at risk of falling down.

This is simply a dangerous building!

"Is this the inheritance for me?" Cheng Xiaoyu sighed. She should have thought about what kind of high-tech gadgets a 100-year-old man can leave for himself.

A gust of wind blew by, blowing on Cheng Xiaoyu's body and chilling Cheng Xiaoyu's heart.

"It would be great if there was a demolition on the top of the house." Cheng Xiaoyu fantasized, shaking his head quickly, throwing away these unrealistic fantasies.

Walking to the door, looking at the iron lock full of ancient style, it is already rusted...

Can such a lock still lock the door?If you push hard, the whole door will fall down, right?
Taking out the key left by her father, the key was also covered with rust, Cheng Xiaoyu doubted that the key would break into two pieces after being inserted into the lock.

"Ugh!"

Sighing, he inserted the key into the lock, twisted it lightly, and with a click, the key was folded inside!Just kidding, cough cough cough.

With a light click, the lock head opened smoothly, as smooth as a new lock, and the rust spots on it were like weird decorations, which were useless except ugly.

Of course, this is only superficial. Anyone who has studied magic can see that after Cheng Xiaoyu turned the key, a golden magic circle spread out from the keyhole as Cheng Xiaoyu turned the key. A kind of energy fluctuation is drifting to the distance.

"Which direction is... Huaguo?" Cheng Xiaoyu felt the direction of the energy fluctuations, and said with some uncertainty, then ignored the energy fluctuations that emanated, and gently opened the door.

"Hey... ah!"

The old wooden door made an unpleasant rubbing sound, Cheng Xiaoyu held a seal in his hand and stood at the door without moving, and he breathed a sigh of relief after a long time.

"Fortunately, the house didn't collapse."

(Father: Can I kill you? Do you need to be so cautious?)

Carefully crossed the threshold and walked into the antique shop.

The wind brought by the opening of the door just stirred up the dust in the antique shop that had been quiet for an unknown number of years, hitting Cheng Xiaoyu's nasal cavity.

After coughing twice, he slapped his face in front of him with his hands, and the internal structure of the antique shop finally appeared in Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes.

Everywhere is... dust and cobwebs. A spider seems to grow so big that it has never seen a creature like Cheng Xiaoyu. It crawls towards Cheng Xiaoyu curiously, completely forgetting that its grandmother once told it that its grandmother's grandmother's grandmother is Slapped to death by this tall four-legged insect.

Cheng Xiaoyu flicked away a spider that was crawling towards her, and looked at the room in silence.

Stretch out your hand and wipe it on the table, good guy, Cheng Xiaoyu thinks that the ashes are as thick as her skin.

"Are you worried?"

When Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know how to deal with the suddenly discovered ancient ruins, a figure sounded from Cheng Xiaoyu's side.

Cheng Xiaoyu was taken aback, thinking it was some kind of monster guarding the ancient ruins, he turned around quickly with a fire mark in his hand, and the dust on the ground was blown up.

It's a nun, with a khaki hoodie, bald and hairless. I didn't expect that my father's beast in the store was actually a nun. No wonder my father didn't have a wife at the age of 123.

"Are you Daddy's apprentice?" Gu Yi looked at Cheng Xiaoyu curiously, and nodded with satisfaction, "He is of authentic Chinese blood, and his magic talent is similar to that of Stephen Strange. He is indeed a good seed."

"That kid?"

Cheng Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment by Master Gu Yi's address to his father.

The nun in front of him actually called his 123-year-old father that boy, so how old is this nun?Could it be that Dad likes... No, Dad seems to have said...

"I forgot to introduce myself." Master Gu Yi seemed to realize his abruptness, and introduced himself: "My name is Gu Yi, and I can be regarded as a Western mage."

Ancient One didn't say that she was a pure Western mage. Over the long years, Ancient One's magic field had expanded to Asgard. Now it's hard to say whether she is a magician in the earth system.

"Supreme Mage!"

Cheng Xiaoyu has obviously heard of Gu Yi's name, and his father has mentioned this name more than once, the most powerful mage on earth since ancient times.

But why did the Earth's strongest mage come here?Could it be the love debt owed by the father?
She, Cheng Xiaoyu, will never help her father pay off his debts!
After thinking about the teacher-student friendship between himself and his father, Cheng Xiaoyu finally sighed, and opened his mouth to ask: "Dear Supreme Master, may I ask your purpose for coming here?"

"It's nothing." Gu Yi said casually, and this attitude made Cheng Xiaoyu's alarm sound even louder.

But soon Master Gu Yi went on to say: "I just came to see. A few years ago, that boy said that there was no one in China who could become a magician in China. Now there is one, and I, an old guy I was very curious, so I came to have a look.”

The co-author thought of himself as a rare animal. Cheng Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly. It turned out that he was thinking too much. That weird-tempered guy with a mouth full of garlic must have been single for more than 100 years.

"Since you're here, I'll give you a small gift." Gu Yi said, not paying attention to Cheng Xiaoyu's mind-wandering at all. Young people are energetic, and it's normal for them to be distracted from time to time.

Send me a little present?A small gift from Earth's strongest mage?Cheng Xiaoyu became interested as soon as she heard it, the small gifts that Gu Yi gave at random may be more valuable than the legacy her father gave her.

Gu Yi thought for a while.

"I don't have any props suitable for Huaguo mages. Western spells and props will make your foundation unstable, so be it."

Gu Yi seemed to have thought about it, and said with a faint smile: "Let me help you clean up the room. It seems that the hygienic situation here has caused you a lot of trouble."

After the words fell, regardless of Cheng Xiaoyu's expectant gaze, Master Gu Yi waved his hand casually, and the antique shop looked brand new in the blink of an eye, without any stains, and the dusty pottery in the last second could reflect Cheng Xiaoyu's figure in the next second .

"That's it?" Cheng Xiaoyu asked a little dumbfounded.

Master Gu Yi nodded naturally, and left a sentence, "Work hard, little guy, the future of New York will not be peaceful." Then she left the antique shop, she still had a lot of things to deal with.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't expect that Master Gu Yi's greeting gift to him was actually cleaning.

However, the sanitation that Master Gu Yi cleaned up by himself sounds pretty impressive, doesn't it?

Liar you! !He's even more stingy than Dad! !

Cheng Xiaoyu really wanted to yell at the sky, but in order to take into account the image of a lady, she could only yell silently in her heart.
