Chapter 166: Peerless Treasure
Feng Jin couldn't imagine that the jade fetus could actually emit a strong light comparable to the sun, and reaching that brightness was almost beyond the intensity that the naked eye could accept. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The old man didn't understand the danger when he was a child, and his eyes were almost destroyed by the strong light of the jade fetus, but fortunately, his master saved people in time, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for him.
"And then?" Feng Jin asked nervously.
"Later, I don't remember, I was actually faint at the moment when I was rescued by Master, and the last thing I saw was Master's anxious face, and when I woke up, it was the next day, everything was as usual, but Master became a little strange after that, no matter how I knocked on the door, he didn't answer, and locked himself in the room and didn't come out."
"In desperation, I can only do what I have at hand, the small shop can't be opened, and after three days, the master came out of the room, feeling that he was getting old, the wrinkles on his face were more obvious, and his eyes were dull, as if his soul had been drained, and he kept pacing in the hall alone."
"I could feel that he was very anxious, but I didn't dare to ask Master what was going on, and even if I did, he wouldn't tell me, and from the moment I apprenticed to him, I felt that Master had too many secrets hidden in his heart, and even if I was his only successor, he wouldn't tell me these secrets, so I never asked about them."
"But this time, I had the courage to ask Master who that person was yesterday, and Master was very abnormal and did not get angry as usual, but looked at me with pity, I felt like this kind of scene was about to be separated."
Feng Jin asked, "What about the man with the sword on his back?" Where did he go? ”
"I also asked Master the same question, and he replied that he didn't know, that person was very skilled, and came to Master's shop just to trade one thing, but he didn't exchange anything, just gave a verbal promise, which was equivalent to a blank check, so Master rejected him on the spot, and then the scene I saw happened." The old man replied.
Feng Jin guessed that the old man's master and that man might have had a fierce battle, and he thought about why he felt that this mysterious person was somewhat familiar, thinking of the recent situation, it seemed to be very similar to the man with the sword on his back in Lion Mountain University!
"Did that person fight with your master?" Feng Jin asked again.
The old man said: "Master said no, after I fainted, they talked for a night, as for what it was, Master never told me until he died, so I don't know what happened to that incident, let alone the identity of that person." Master passed away a few years later, and passed on this jade fetus to me, and I inherited his mantle and continued to stay in this small shop, running some small businesses, and so on for decades......"
Feng Jin asked again, "What did that person ask your master for at that time?" Judging from what you said, your master should see this object as very important. ”
"This thing is my master's family heirloom, his family has lived in this village for generations, and has been doing this business since ancient times, so it is not surprising that there is a family heirloom. When I was apprenticed, the master took out this thing, and at that time I took a look, and it was packed in a brocade box, which looked like it should be a jade lotus, and the seven petals were of different colors, as beautiful as a rainbow, and I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, according to the master, this thing is the only one in the world, its origin is unknown, and its utility is not clear, just because it is handed down from the ancestors, and the descendants of all generations think it is a treasure, so it is not easy to show others, not to mention that the person who can't even see his face actually wants to take it, Master, of course, a hundred disagree. ”
"Then ...... Was the Jade Lotus taken away by that? Feng Jin asked.
"Listen to the master's meaning, it's not 'take', it should be borrowed, more precisely, it's a transaction, that person exchanged this jade lotus for a promise, and I don't know if the master was afraid of this person's strong skills, or for other reasons, he actually agreed to him! You must know that Sandaoxing Village is the most famous trading market in the industry, and some people openly rob here but it is a taboo in the village, as long as you shout, a large number of masters will come to catch the thief, and no matter how big his ability is, he will not be able to escape from the village. The old man said.
"But the master chose to believe him, accepted a verbal promise and handed over the heirloom to others, even I felt very angry at the time, although I have nothing to do with this jade lotus, I still feel very sorry in my heart, I was attracted by its colorful streamer at a glance, and I couldn't take my eyes off it......
Feng Jin couldn't imagine how dazzling and colorful this jade lotus was, and it was a pity in his heart, if it wasn't for that person to 'borrow' it, he would have been able to take it out with a shy face now, and he felt very comfortable thinking about it, but unfortunately this kind of enjoyment could not be realized.
Especially this jade lotus is still comparable to the rainbow of colorful colors, think about it and think that such treasures will only appear in legends, who would have thought that in this ordinary small village there are peerless treasures in every household, Feng Jin's world view was suddenly shocked.
"Did that person return the Jade Lotus later?" Feng Jin asked, although he had already guessed the answer in his heart, but he still didn't give up, and asked the old man with the mentality of giving it a try.
"Alas, that person has never appeared again, and I don't know his identity, I haven't seen him again for decades, and I don't think Jade Lotus will come back. On his deathbed, Master told me that if that person hadn't returned the Jade Lotus within ten years, I should stop dwelling on it and treat it as if it didn't exist. The old man said.
Feng Jin could hear the helplessness and sadness in his tone, and after waiting for so many years, he didn't see the person who made the promise appear, and the return of the jade lotus flower to Zhao was also far away.
Looking at the candle and changing it again, more than an hour has passed unconsciously, but several people have no intention of sleeping, although I heard the old man say that today is a taboo day, Feng Jin has no understanding of this day, and when he entered the village, he didn't know if he had violated the rules of the village, and he was a little frightened.
"This friend and I came here today, the day was not picked, I didn't expect it to be so unlucky, I actually broke into the village on the taboo day, it took more than ten hours to walk all the way, from noon to just now, I don't know if I violated any taboos in the village, and I asked the old gentleman to answer." Feng Jin said.
The old man stood up, approached Feng Jin's face, looked at it carefully for a long time, then turned to his back, brushed his hair and looked at the place on his neck, and then used the same method to check Luo Hua again, and said with a relieved face: "Don't worry, you are very lucky, you should have seen the boundary monument of life and death before entering the village, you should not have done anything disrespectful, and you did not turn around and go back, otherwise you will definitely inhale the miasma in the dense forest at night, and you will be poisoned and die if you can't go far." ”
"What?!" Feng Jin stood up in surprise.
"That's right, the most dangerous place after night is actually the side of the life and death boundary monument 'Sheng', the miasma in the forest will permeate the mountain road at night, once you inhale too much miasma, you won't live for long......"
Feng Jin asked, "Then why is the side with miasma 'raw'?" What's going on with the Boundary Monument of Life and Death? (To be continued.) )
