Chapter 48: Tianguang Ruins I
-- The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night of treasure hunting
One.
There are very few street lights on the road in the small county town, and it takes a long time to see a little light flashing, so the whole road surface seems particularly dark, all the way to the road, all the way as if you are in a tunnel, except for the two yellow lights in the front of the car, there is nothing, and it makes people faintly bored.
The air is cold and humid.
The dampness came from the wind after the rain, and it blew in and out of the open window, like an invisible ghost, with the smell of earth and gasoline blurred into the night, and the whole land seemed to be covered with fog from a distance. I don't think it would be surprising if I saw the mysterious team wandering alone in the wilderness again. This feeling is very uncomfortable, it attracts me to look out for a while, after a long time, my neck twists sore, but in fact, I can't see anything.
After looking at it for a while, I rubbed my sour eyes and leaned my head back into the leather chair behind me.
The softness of the comfort made me involuntarily take a light breath. Then he cheered up and looked involuntarily at the man in front of him who was driving intently.
I've had many firsts this summer.
The first time I saw a ghost, the first time I was haunted by a ghost, the first time I was parasitized by a monster, the first time I ate with a living skeleton, and the first time I bumped into a so-called fairy......
It's a surreal first time, so it's the first time in my life to sit in a luxury car of Bentley's level, but it's so realistic that people no longer feel anything. The only thing that interests me is where did that skeleton man find such a number one person, not only does he look very familiar with him, but he is also willing to drive such an expensive car to Wentou Village overnight. You know, the only road leading to the village is the famous Spring Road.
I wanted to ask, but I couldn't ask for more than half an hour.
Because the driver's condition looks really bad.
He smoked all the time, as if he couldn't breathe without it, and the hand holding the steering wheel was always shaking.
Although the car drove fairly steadily, such a shaking method really made it impossible to divert attention from his hand. I was worried that he would crash the car into the barrier at the slightest mistake, and his face looked sleepless and sluggish, but he was still pressing on the accelerator.
If the physical factor is excluded, this is obviously a kind of manifestation of something in the heart.
Because of anxiety, so sleepy, so rely on speed to add stimulation to the brain.
But what kind of thing can make a person with a lot of money and pampered feel uneasy like this?
While pondering, I couldn't help but glance at his wrist from time to time, and the huge gold watch and a finger-thick gold bracelet on his wrist were really dazzling.
Speaking of which, at first I thought that this person was really just the driver of this car.
Bentley Mulsanne. A typical business car, the person who will buy it usually rarely drives this type of car in person, because it is only with a driver that it is stylish.
However, anything related to the skeleton man of the Underworld, no matter who or what happens, there will always be more special cases.
The man who drove the Bentley was surnamed Chen, and the young man called him Lao Chen.
Lao Chen is actually not old, at most he looks less than forty in his late thirties, and he looks quite handsome because he is thin and well-dressed. If it weren't for the terrible face and nervous demeanor, he would have looked as imposing as his car.
But what's interesting is that compared to his good taste in dressing, his penchant for jewelry is so rough and direct that people can't look at it directly.
Not only the two huge gold pieces on his wrist, but also his ten fingers were full of gold rings that were thick enough to be used as fingers, and the gold chain around his neck was even thicker than a chain, and he didn't just wear one, I don't know if it was out of show off or true love, the necklaces and necklaces he hung around his neck were all combined, and there were as many as five or six, although he was stuffed in the neckline, where could the flashing light be hidden.
With so many chains hanging around the neck at the same time, and all so thick, it was obviously quite uncomfortable.
So I always see him pulling two handfuls on his neck from time to time and kneading them twice to reduce the load on his neck.
I can't help but wonder how a person can have such a big penchant for gold jewelry, so fond that he forgets what moderation is, and can even endure the discomfort they bring to himself.
Perhaps I quickly sensed these thoughts in my eyes, and it didn't take long for Lao Chen to turn the rearview mirror away, so that I could no longer continue to observe him through the mirror.
In fact, I have long seen that this person seems to have a certain sense of rejection towards me.
Especially when I first saw the young man take me into his car, the look in his eyes was clearly surprised and displeased, although this was never clearly stated, but for more than half an hour on the road, he never said a word to me, nor did he look at me with his eyes, let alone stop smoking because of my deliberate coughing.
It's really annoying enough, if it weren't for the fact that there was no other choice, who would rarely get into his car.
As soon as I thought of this, suddenly my eyes suddenly lit up, and an oncoming truck appeared in front of the car unsuspectingly, and flashed its high beams in our direction a few times.
The light dazzled my eyes instantly.
I vaguely saw Lao Chen slapping the steering wheel and narrowly avoided it a moment before the two cars collided. But this luck is really nothing to be thankful for, because I don't know if it was because of the distraction or the fact that his hands were shaking too much, just now Lao Chen actually drove the car to the opposite lane, and the speed soared to more than 100 yards.
It's not looking for death.
So when the two cars staggered, the other driver scolded us.
The scolding finally made Lao Chen's fingers stop trembling, and also made him break the silence for half an hour, he stared at the rearview mirror and whispered something, and after watching the roaring truck go away, he drove the car back to his own lane with great precision, and then slowed down and drove forward again with great caution, and then pulled over.
As soon as he stepped out of the car, he couldn't wait to rush under the highway and retched.
It was so dark that he seemed to be so shocked by the scene just now that he even reacted to it. So after spitting up, he wiped his mouth clean and did not return to the car, but stood far away, slowly rubbing his fingers that were trembling again, while looking thoughtfully in a certain direction behind the car, looking like he wanted to say something.
Then he did something that surprised me.
He pulled out all the gold necklaces that were stuffed in his collar, and took out a few from his pockets, long and short, thick and thin, and hung them all around his neck, as if they were not his neck, but a necklace display.
“...... If you go out with so much gold, you are not afraid that you will be robbed if you leave the car. Seeing this, I finally couldn't help but mutter.
He grunted very softly, but he was still heard by the young man on the side, he glanced at me, and smiled: "Don't you know, gold can ward off evil spirits, especially negative evils." ”
"Is the evil of femininity still divided into yin and yang?"
"It is natural, and everything has its yin and yang, whether it is light or dark. ”
“...... So what is the evil of femininity, and what is the evil of masculinity?"
"A living creature is yang, such as the monster that parasitizes your eyes, he is yang. Yin corresponds to dead objects, such as the soul of the woman who haunts you, and some objects that are possessed by yin spirits, such as stones. ”
"Oh......"
"But the evil of stones is also divided into yin and yang. Take jadeite as an example, Fei belongs to fire, which corresponds to yang, and jade belongs to water, which corresponds to yin, and they are called the secondary yin and yang in yin and evil. Among them, the second yin is the most tricky, so in general, if you are not a person with heavy yang energy, it is best not to collect jade for fun, although not all jade is evil, but as the so-called often walk by the river, you can not wet your shoes, and you will not be wrong to be careful. ”
"So, the reason why Lao Chen wears so much gold on his body is to ward off evil spirits?"
"That's right. ”
"And what kind of evil thing is he entangled in??"
"Seeing that you are asking so positively, I am afraid that you have forgotten about your own questions. ”
A faint sentence made me stop at the right time, and it also made me fall back to the bottom in an instant.
Seeing this, he smiled again, and while watching the instantaneous change in my expression, he turned sideways, and then reached out to me and handed me something as I fell silent: "Have you ever seen this kind of stone?"
I wanted to remain silent.
But when his eyes fell on him, it was easier said than done, for the thing he held in his hand was so beautiful that I almost suffocated for a moment.
It was a stone carved amulet.
The face is perfect, but the color and water head are even more perfect.
It was as green as a young leaf in spring. It naturally faints, dips into the whole body, and is so transparent that it seems that you can poke out a pool of clear water with a poke of your hand.
Such a perfect stone, if it is not made of glass, it must be a piece of jadeite of glass species.
And it's still full of imperial green.
"It's expensive. So I blurted out such a common saying.
He smiled lightly when he heard this, and then threw the Buddha card into my hand casually: "It's okay, but it's a vain price." ”
"Where did it come from?"
"It's a deposit for Lao Chen to invite me to his car. ”
Just a deposit??
To put it mildly, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Then he reacted suddenly, but he couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable about his thoughts: "Understood, does he want you to exorcise evil spirits for him......?"
"That's right. ”
“...... But why does he think you can exorcise evil spirits? Does he know where you came from?"
"Well, I'm afraid it starts when I first met him. ”
"First time meeting?"
"Do you know the Celestial Light Ruins?".
