After getting in the car, I couldn't wait to open the wooden box, but after groping for a long time, I couldn't do it, and the shopkeeper Liu next to me couldn't stand it, and said lightly: "It's hard work, and if you give you half a day's work, you can't open it." ”

I slapped the wooden box and scolded: "The old man can't have a secret lock inside, right?" It must be so, it is estimated that it is to prevent the three scars from peeking at, and pry it open when I get home later, but it's a pity that such a good rosewood box is a pity. ”

"Give it to me. Shopkeeper Liu transferred the rosewood box to his thigh and observed it carefully.

"Shopkeeper Liu, do you know how to drive?" I asked as I drove.

Shopkeeper Liu smiled slightly: "This is not an ordinary wooden box, this thing is called a mandarin duck box, have you heard of it?"

I was stunned for a moment and asked, "What! This is the legendary mandarin duck box? Isn't its craftsmanship lost?"

"Yes, I haven't seen this thing for many years, I never thought that your father actually had one, the design of this thing is very exquisite, the whole body does not use a nail, nor does it use an iron lock, but it can complete a good seal, conventional methods can't open it at all, no, ordinary people don't know how to open it. ”

"Heh, is there such a trouble with an axe? You hurry up, I'm really curious what my father left behind! I hope I can save Feng Hui's life." I stepped on the gas pedal and teased at Shopkeeper Liu.

Shopkeeper Liu stroked the wooden box and muttered: "There is a mandarin duck lock in the mandarin duck box, and there is yin and yang in the mandarin duck lock." ”

Hearing the shopkeeper Liu's crazy words, I almost thought that he was also stunned, and was ready to stop and kick people at any time, as long as I was fast enough to ensure that I could kick him from the co-pilot to the road with one kick.

Shopkeeper Liu carefully observed the wooden box twice, and finally turned it over, one palm attached to the bottom of the wooden box, first rotated half a circle clockwise, then pressed the palm hard, then rotated half a circle counterclockwise, and finally there was a click, the wooden box was actually spread out on all sides like a lotus bloom, and there was a yellowed broken book lying quietly inside, as well as a walnut-sized copper bell and a few copper coins.

I stopped the car with a slam foot and snatched the yellowed book to find three large handwritten characters on it: Tales of Trickery.

"I'm obedient, it turns out that this book is in your father's hands, let me see it, it is said that it is all about ghosts, whoever learns the skills inside, who can walk freely in the antique world. Shopkeeper Liu forced himself to my side, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.

In fact, many years ago, I heard of the book "Strange Stories", and asked the old man some questions at that time, and he just said a few perfunctory words at random, and told me never to touch ghosts, but now he left this strange book to me, which just proves the fact that he collects ghost goods.

When the shopkeeper Liu saw that I didn't let him read "Strange Stories", he first begged a few words, but I didn't agree, he shook his head and stopped talking, and reached out to get the copper bell.

Ding~Ding~Ding

As the shopkeeper Liu shook, a crisp sound swayed in the car.

"Stop!"

I snatched the copper bell into my hand, and the shopkeeper Liu looked at me angrily and scolded: "Bastard boy, don't let me see anything, you really have you, okay, as long as I can save my daughter, I will not be rare in the objects in your hands." ”

"Let's not talk about the rest, let's hurry up and find Feng Bangga. ”

In the end, I stuffed the copper bell, the copper coin, and the "Strange Tales" into the mezzanine on my chest.

The reason why I don't let Shopkeeper Liu touch them is very simple, first, this is a personal item left to me by the old man, and these things are too special to be touched by ordinary people, especially the scheming Shopkeeper Liu.

Ten minutes later, Shopkeeper Liu and I returned to Feng Bang's house, and when I saw Feng Hui again, I found that her appearance was much haggard, and the wrinkles on her face were all over the place, as if she was more than ten years old, but it was only a few hours since I last saw her.

"Damn, do you see if the hairpin is brighter than before?" shopkeeper Liu shouted as he pointed to the hairpin on the top of Feng Hui's head.

Feng Bangmao's eyes and I quickly shifted to the butterfly hairpin, and we saw that the gems on it were even more dazzling, especially the ruby, which seemed to have been soaked in blood, and it was so red that people felt intoxicated at a glance.

I whispered: "It's not good, the hairpin has sucked Feng Hui's essence blood again, and if it goes on like this, it's hard to say." ”

Feng Bangmao took my arm and pleaded: "Brother Bin, you can save my sister, didn't you find the three scars to learn from the scriptures?

Shopkeeper Liu interjected: "Of course, the babies are all in Wu Bin's arms!"

Feng Bangmao rolled his eyes and stretched out his hand towards my chest, I raised my hand to push him aside, and admonished, "You guys are here to guard! ”

Feng Bang mallet shouted: "I forgot to mention something, not long after you left, my sister seemed to regain consciousness and begged me to save her, but when I got closer, she lost consciousness again, and then has been in a coma until now." ”

Time is life, I didn't dare to delay for a moment, and went into the wing room with the objects left by my father.

I slowly opened the "Strange Tales", and immediately two lines of words came into view: If a person is evil, he is as strong as a ghost, and if a ghost is a good saint, he is like a Buddha.

The two lines of writing are vigorous and elegant, but judging from the handwriting, they are not from the old man's hand.

I briefly pondered the meaning of the next two lines, which became more and more interesting, and pondered for a few seconds, and then looked at the rest of the book.

I was surprised to find that the "Strange Tales" was all handwritten, some of which were about strange curios, and some of which were about the magic of exorcism and ghost hunting.

In short, even I, a person who has been in the antique circle for more than ten years, feel fresh when I look through "Strange Stories".

I deduced from the language expression in the book that this book should have been written in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, because the language of that period had a characteristic, that is, the old and the new were mixed, and there may be a few vernacular sentences mixed in three or two sentences of classical Chinese, and it is really difficult to figure out its true meaning without a certain foundation in ancient Chinese.

Before I knew it, the light in the room gradually dimmed, and I turned the last page of the book, twisting my stiff neck, silently revisiting the contents of the book in my mind, although there were some things I couldn't understand, but fortunately I knew the general meaning.

"Brother Bin, what's wrong with you?" my sister ...... she" Feng Bang's cry came from the courtyard.

I stuffed the "Strange Tales" into my arms, raised my legs and pushed the door out, holding in my hand a copper bell, which, according to the book, is called the Soul Bell, which can summon the yin spirit of the dead.

Ding ding~

I shook the brass bell and jumped in front of the walking dead Feng Hui, chanting a mantra I had learned from a book.

Shopkeeper Liu smiled bitterly and said: "Wu Bin, even if you are smart enough, but the speed of this teacher is also a little faster, it has only been three or two hours since you got the book, and you actually dare to come out to compare." ”

"I haven't been studying art for a long time, and I figured out seven or eight percent of the things written in that book as soon as I pondered it, and besides, the objects in my hands are high-grade magic weapons, and with them in my hand, I'm still afraid of a hair. ”

Ding ding~

I increased the strength of the rattle, and the sound became loud and crisp.

Feng Bangmao and Shopkeeper Liu looked at me with questioning faces, but they didn't dare to move forward, so they had to do it in a hurry.

At this moment, I found that Feng Hui's body was trembling with the shaking of the copper bell, and after a few seconds, her movements gradually slowed down, and finally stopped dancing, and the whole person stood in the courtyard like a stake.

"Hey, it really works!" Shopkeeper Liu gave me a thumbs up and walked towards Feng Hui.

"Don't go over,......," I shouted.

Before the words could land, suddenly, Feng Hui raised her arms and grabbed Shopkeeper Liu's neck and lifted him into the air.

"Save ...... I ......" Shopkeeper Liu's limbs fluttered wildly, trying to get rid of Feng Hui's control, but Feng Hui did not relax in the slightest, but a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What's wrong with my sister......" Feng Bangmao was shocked and frightened, holding a wooden stick in his hand, but he didn't dare to move forward.

"She's not your sister anymore, go find me a big red rooster right away, remember, the redder the cockscomb, the better, hurry up." "I recalled that there was a passage in the "Strange Tales" that exorcised evil spirits, and I also cared about whether it was useful or not, so I could only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Feng Bangmao panicked out of the yard, I continued to shake the soul bell at the out-of-control Feng Hui, I never thought that she not only did not let go, but became stronger and stronger, and the resistance of the shopkeeper Liu became weaker and weaker, and the white eyes rolled up.
