Chapter 67: The Engraver (C)

After listening to me tell this story, Team Cao didn't slow down for a few minutes, and when he saw that I had been staring at him, he laughed: "Lao Chang, there will be such a thing in the world? That's not the real thing that Sun Monkey jumped out of the stone, aren't you making fun of me?" I also smiled at him, "There are history books, family learning is passed on, you have to put in some effort, you can also verify seven or eight out of ten, tell you a story, you will know what is going on with this rebirth" Team Cao nodded, and said to himself: " To have such a magical thing, it is also a blessing to be able to see and understand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info You said, a few years ago, during the self-defense and counterattack war, why did you give our soldiers a few pieces, and so many people went there? One company went to Hanoi, how much trouble did it save?" "Comrade Xiao Cao, I have to remind you that rebirth is a reincarnation of corpses, and it is very strange, so it is better to touch it less. This thing is an academic study for me, but it is a matter of principle for you?" "When I said this, Team Cao smiled even more happily" Yes, I often remind you that our position is very firm, just like this stone, rigid. But you say, did Professor Liang carve this thing with reborn materials? This must have something to do with the case of those poisonous insects causing death, it can't be so coincidental, but how can a stone poison people?"

I lit a cigarette and looked at the centipede jade carving in my hand, and when I spoke for a while, I felt that the dark red blood was deeper, I don't know if it was because of the temperature. "This is not very good, I have never encountered it, when Professor Liang was alive, he talked to me about him looking for Lao Qin's materials, but whether these pieces are out of birth, I also have to find someone to ask, I will take this one for two days to study and study"

"Okay, next week, I'll go and ask the witnesses of the case one by one, do you have time, let's listen to it together?" Team Cao agreed very happily, but I kept thinking, if it was really out of the woods, then Team Cao would be really troublesome when the case was closed.

When I got home in the evening, I turned out the family tree of Xuanmen handed down at home, this book is the genealogy of the Chang family on the surface, in fact, it is a good habit left by the ancestors of each generation, every special event, as long as the Chang family participates, it will be recorded in detail to help future generations understand the doorway, more than ten generations down, it has been more than 40 books. But this retrieval is very troublesome, and if you want to find out what you want, it depends entirely on the amount of reading and your own memory, but in my father's opinion, this is a practice method in the Chang family, so I have been strict with me since I was a child, and I have also developed the habit of watching it every day. At this point, my third uncle is the most talented of all, if it is a matter of rebirth, the third uncle estimates that at most in an afternoon, the relevant records can be checked out, and the omissions are not more than single digits, but unfortunately, he was not there ten years ago.

I flipped through the pages for a night, but I didn't get much, and some of the records I searched for from memory were all descriptions of rebirth in a few words. The only valuable thing is that during the Ming Dynasty, Yang Ji was bewildered by the birth of Yang Ji and tortured and killed dozens of people surnamed Wang. Speaking of this Yang Ji, but after a famous family, his father was Yang Shiqi, the first assistant of the cabinet of the Four Dynasties in the early Ming Dynasty, and Yang Shiqi was also forced to become a minister because of Yang Ji's case, which caused a sensation in the government and the opposition. Yang Ji is Yang Shiqi's eldest son, he has been a little pampered since he was a child, but he is always a scholar, and the poems can be said, but he is thin and weak, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, and within a month, with his own strength, he killed more than 30 people surnamed Wang in the capital, including two heads of the forbidden army, a servant, and tyrannical methods, if it were not for many witnesses, everyone would not believe it. Of course, knowing that the son is not the father, the most confused among them is Yang Shiqi.

Yang Shiqi apologized on the one hand, asked Zhishi, and invited my thirteenth ancestor, Chang Yanting to investigate the cause privately. Chang Zu met Yang Ji in prison and found that he often lost his mind and went crazy, and when he became ill, he would become another person, and even his accent would become the Chu dialect, and it was an ancient dialect, which few people understood. Yang Ji has a jade pendant with him, which is a jade that has been reborn, and the corpse is extremely heavy, and the blood is soaked into the marrow. Chang Zu asked Yang Shiqi about the origin of this jade pendant. It turned out that Yang Shiqi was a native of Jizhou, Jiangxi, Yang Ji was thin and sickly since he was a child, and the Jizhou Mansion was sentenced to befriend Yang Shiqi, so he collected this jade pendant. Legend has it that it was Xiang Yan's belongings during the Warring States Period, after Xiang Yan died in battle, the Qin people felt that his martial arts and loyalty were buried, and there was this jade pendant with the burial. Xiang Yan's tomb was stubborn at the end of the Han Dynasty, and this jade pendant has also been around for thousands of years. The general judgment of Jizhou Mansion believes that Xiang Yan's jade pendant must have a martial spirit, and Yang Ji wears it that can not only strengthen the body, but also dispel evil spirits. Although Yang Shiqi didn't believe it, he was also begging for a mouthful, so he accepted it and gave it to Yang Ji. Unexpectedly, when Yang Ji saw it, he liked it very much, and he hung on his body from then on, and he couldn't solve it again. Yang Shiqi is usually busy with political affairs and did not notice the changes in Yang Ji, but the people of Yang Mansion said that about a year after Yang Ji put on this jade pendant, he began to occasionally lose his mind and go crazy.

Chang Zu realized that the core of the incident was on the jade pendant, and for the sake of prudence, he went to Jizhou to find out the story of the jade pendant. Only then did I know that this jade pendant had been buried at least four times in more than a thousand years, and experienced five rounds of life and death, and the statement from Xiang Yan's tomb can also be confirmed. Jade has a spirit, and raising jade also raises people, this is the consensus of those who admire jade, and Qin Yu accumulates corpse qi, and few people dare to admire it. This rebirth has been soaked in corpses for many generations, and it has been immersed in several generations, and the evil is even worse. That Xiang Yan died at the hands of the Qin general Wang Qian, it is said that Wang Jian did not win above board, and Xiang Yan was very resentful. His jade pendant turned into a thousand-year-old fetus, and Yang Ji went crazy after wearing it, and it made sense to abuse and kill the descendants of the Wang family.

Chang Zu wanted to understand the reason, and hurriedly rushed back to the capital, at this time, Yang Shiqi had sent Shi home, and Yang Ji was imprisoned pending trial. After meeting Yang Shiqi, after some discussion, Changzu went to the prison to take the rebirth, rushed back to Jiangxi, in the name of Yang Shiqi, built a Xiang Wang Temple in Jizhou, dedicated to Xiang Yan and Xiang Yu, and the rebirth was buried in the ancestral hall. Turning resentment into anger with fireworks, and shaking evil demons with righteousness, this is the solution of the unjust debt. After two years, Yang Shiqi regained his life, and entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister, the emperor relied on deeply, and the scenery was more prosperous than before, and Yang Ji also killed people because of madness, and after Yang Shiqi paid a lot of money to the family of the deceased, he also saved his life and was assigned to Ningzhou.

After studying this patriarch's note, I can at least be sure that rebirth can confuse people's minds, cause them to lose control of their consciousness, and do things that cannot be understood since ancient times. If Professor Liang used the rebirth material, the death of those people must be related to the rebirth, but who would have the motive to kill, and where the poison came from, I can't figure it out for a while, but, knowing this, we must first prove whether these pieces of jade are reborn or not.

The next day, I went to visit Mr. Fang Youshan, the master of jade collection in the capital. Mr. Fang and my father are old friends, and during the ten years of catastrophe, his family was still helped by his father to hide and escape. Like my father, I always asked him for advice when I had some problems with antiquities. Mr. Fang's house is not far from my house, and it takes more than ten minutes to ride a bicycle to arrive, but it was already summer, the scorching sun was on the head, the willow branches did not move, and he didn't ride for five minutes, and his back was all wet with sweat. When I went out, I was afraid of losing the carving, so I put it in the pocket on the chest of my shirt, but at this time, I could clearly feel that my chest was cold, and this coldness was gradually expanding.

After entering Mr. Fang's house, I handed over the carving, I was busy lighting my back to the fan, Mr. Fang went to the desk, took his glasses, and put the carving in his hand to take a closer look. I breathed a sigh of relief before I asked him: "Elder Fang, can you take a look, is the material of this thing the reborn jade mentioned in the ancient books?" "Well, this thing is really rare, but it is not difficult to identify this reborn jade" Fang Lao said, took a large glass filled with water, sank the carving into the water, and said, "I will know in half an hour, you wait, this carving looks at this kung fu and taste, it looks like the handwriting of Professor Liang in your neighborhood, how did he give it to you?" He went, you don't know, he used to buy two or three thousand seals, and now he has been fried to thirty or fifty thousand, if your jade carving is his, it can be called a masterpiece, and some people rush to get it to 500,000 in the market. ”

I saw that the carving in the water had not changed, so I turned my head and smiled at Fang Lao, "I have this blessing, such a good thing is a waste to put me here, I won't tell you, this thing is the physical evidence of a homicide, I am doing Xiao Cao a favor from the criminal investigation team, and I will ask you if the material of this carving is out of rebirth." "Xiao Cao, then you did the right thing, don't let this child come home, every time he comes back, he goes with the tea, you see I have drunk a bag of catechu, tell me, what case?" Mr. Fang is an old child, he is serious about the living, but he always likes to joke with acquaintances and have fun. But when I told the case from beginning to end, his expression became solemn, he smiled, and muttered to himself, "There is such a thing, the world is wonderful, the world is wonderful" with me, staring at the rebirth in the cup.

After a while, the blood-soaked part of the cup, to be precise, was the centipede, and the obvious color became more and more translucent, and it was still flowing slowly. Soon, the red color on the top of the centipede's head became deeper and deeper, and gradually the surrounding water also turned a light pink, and after a few minutes, the whole glass of water turned light red. "It's rebirth, soaking this glass of water overnight is estimated to turn crimson, and this rebirth is buried in the ground more than once, the darker the color of the water, the more times it enters the ground, the more magical the rebirth, the general Qinyu bubble can not be colored, only the reborn jade will be like this. You see the bottom of this reborn jade, there are very small purple spots, this is the climate is sultry, rainy and humid Qin species, and it is thousands of years accumulated in the laterite soil, this kind of spot will appear, this material is buried in Xiangxi, Sichuan East is the most likely. Mr. Fang poured the water from the cup, took the centipede carving, and fell into deep thought.
