The family looked around the tortoise shell for a long time, but they didn't see anything new.

"I've seen a lot of these things in the pharmacy, they are all more beautiful and delicate than it, and they can also cure diseases and save people, and they are excellent medicinal materials."

Hongchen wiped it carefully with a handkerchief, and after wiping it, the yellow tortoise shell still looked very dirty, with some black spots on it, and Luo Niang was a little disgusted when she saw it.

"Get me the stove and a clay pot."

Xiao Yan and the others quickly brought the things, the clay pot was filled with a lot of water, and Hongchen grabbed a handful of salt and put it in.

After a while, the fire was vigorous, and the water gurgled and tumbled, and the tortoise shell was thrown into the water, and the water floated and fell with the splash.

It's not a long time, it's only half a moment.

I saw that the dirt on it quickly receded, and the clear water became turbid.

Hongchen boiled for more than a quarter of an hour before extinguishing the fire, scooping it out with a spoon and throwing it into the basin of water next to it.

Luo Niang took a closer look and was startled.

This piece of tortoise shell has changed dramatically, showing a translucent red color, which is very beautiful and dazzling.

Hongchen walked to the window with a basin of water, pushed it himself, and opened the window, the wind rose outside, the branches swayed, the dead leaves sometimes flew, sometimes landed, floating and sinking, the moon-white curtains on the window swirled and flew, and the teacups on the table were blown into ripples.

Luo Niang was dumbfounded.

The water in the basin did not fluctuate at all.

With such a strong wind, the basin is placed on the tuyere, and it stands to reason that the water waves should fluctuate very seriously.

Hongchen said with a smile: "This tortoise shell fragment is not very precious to look at, it is just a very ordinary tortoise shell." However, it should be an object that is often played with in the hands of a certain hexagram master, and maybe it is often used for divination, so it gradually generates an aura. ”

Luo Niang felt very incredible for a while.

She and Xiao Yan, the books about cultivation that they have read these days, not to mention the amount of buckets, but they are no less than those who have a family inheritance, and they have also paid special attention to books about magic weapons, after all, the profits of magic weapons are very high.

They're the people. No one dares to guarantee that there is a talent to be able to Miss General. If you really become a spirit master, even if you can't become a spirit master, if you have studied magic weapons, you may be able to become a staunch master of magic weapons.

According to the book. The better the quality of the artifact. The more obvious the aura generated. And the aura that can be perceived by ordinary people can only be achieved by the most top-notch and most outstanding magic weapons.

"Tortoise shell is made of this material. It's not that bad, but it'......."

Luo Niang scratched her head, "The white jade Guanyin statue enshrined by our family, the Taishan stone in the courtyard, the Buddha beads of the thousand-year-old golden silk nanmu, and the gloomy wooden box, which is not a treasure that is hard to find, or it appears specifically as a magic weapon, but there is no lady who has arranged a special feng shui bureau or magic circle or something, they look like ordinary ornaments." ”

Many people misunderstand, thinking that magic weapons are very magical things, as soon as they appear, there will be different phases, Luo Niang and they have been with their own young lady for a long time, and they often have such an illusion, after all, their young lady has repeatedly shot, and every time it is a big move.

But in fact, many times, ordinary spiritual masters place ritual instruments and set up feng shui bureaus, all of which are silent.

Maybe the spirit master who has played with magic weapons all his life, but he has never seen the aura of magic weapons appear outside.

Today, a small tortoise shell, a basin of clear water, a gust of wind, no feng shui bureau, no young lady's skillful hands, feng shui does not move, and the wishes of many spirit masters have been achieved, so that Luo Niang Xiaoyan and them can clearly feel the magic of the magic weapon.

As soon as Hongchen stretched out his hand to scoop up the tortoise shell, threaded the needle and thread, and didn't know how to wear it, he took a red rope and wore the tortoise shell, made a bracelet, and put it on his hand, red with a little orange, translucent, and it was actually very delicate and beautiful.

Seeing that Luo Niang and the others were still devastated, Hongchen smiled and said: "When I entered the palace, I saw that the staff used by Niangniang was also a magic weapon, and the quality was good, and it had the effect of stabilizing the mind in the bedroom, and Niangniang's sleep quality must be very good." ”

Xiao Yan couldn't help but take the corner of her eye to look at the cane she was still on the box, which she was still made of ink bamboo.

"Therefore, there is a relationship between the magic weapon and the material, but the relationship is not particularly big, the most important thing is the person, most of the magic weapons are in the daily use of people to form a stable aura, for example, the prayer beads that you often use, those that have been consecrated by the great monks, and then kept in the temple treasure house, the beads made of the best materials may not be as good as the inferior Buddha beads that an old believer bought casually when he was young."

Hongchen fiddled with the tortoise shell and smiled, "So Luo Niang, don't keep the good things in your hand all the time, use them more, give you Buddha beads, pendants and the like, wear them more, maybe one day, they will become magic weapons, and it will be very decent to pass them on to future generations when the time comes." ”

After a few small talks, it was late at night.

Everyone sat to watch the New Year, the sound of firecrackers outside the window, Xiaohe sat on the eaves opposite, whimpering and playing the flute.

He looks like a child, in fact, he is not only good at martial arts, but also dabbles in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and although he is not very good at playing the piano, he has a high level of appreciation.

Hongchen had asked Senior Brother Lin before how he had taken Xiaohe into his hand, and he said very lightly - "Play the piano for him, listen to the piano I play, from then on, I will not stop feeling uncomfortable for a day, and I will not be able to leave it for a month." ”

This is a joke, of course.

However, Xiaohe's love for music is real, and he learned the flute and piano with Lin Xu later, and the progress was very fast, from stumbling to being able to play a very long and beautiful tune, even those palace people who couldn't read a few words were fascinated.

Chinese New Year's Eve passed like this.

The New Year does not end until the fifteenth.

Hongchen hoped to spend a lively New Year in peace, but she had decided to close the palace door during the New Year, and the queen mother, who had not seen anyone, was only the third day of the Lunar New Year, and she summoned Hongchen into the palace again, and explained that she could bring her usual magic weapons and the like.

As a result, she carried her own box and Xiaohe into the palace gate, but she didn't go to the queen, and directly let people go to the ink pavilion on the east side of the imperial garden.

"County Lord."

Waiting at the door with a flattering face was Liu Hong, the great eunuch who would be the prisoner. This old eunuch is lean and lean, and he still has a lewd atmosphere when he makes a flattering appearance, no wonder he can only be a prisoner for the rest of his life, and which master lets him serve closely, it is very cheap.

Hongchen has also dealt with him a few times, and he has never been troubled, but whenever he explains any errand, he will be the prisoner and finish it very well, and this time he will not embarrass him: "Say, the queen of labor came to me." What's going on? ”

Liu Hong's face darkened when he heard this. After a moment of silence and clapping his hands, someone took a piece of jade the size of a palm.

He took it himself and carefully presented it to Hongchen.

The jade is the finest white jade. It's still warm jade. It's not much different from a person's body temperature. I'm afraid that only the court can take out such a large piece casually, and it is not a matter of concern at all.

I remember that the queen mother has a piece of warm jade of equal height, when it is cold in winter. She often fell asleep in her arms.

"County Lord, how is this jade?"

"It's of great quality."

Hongchen looked at it over and over.

The jade is of high quality, without any variegation, and it is definitely a good jade.

didn't think about it, Liu Hong not only didn't show joy when he heard it, but sighed, and then he said what happened with a bitter face.

Something big is going on in the palace!

Didn't the national teacher build the Inviting Heaven Pavilion for His Majesty? To place the statue of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the small ones did not dare to be careless, and they invited more than 20 top craftsmen to follow the portrait of Master Yan, and finally finished the work with quality and quantity.

But when the jade statues were arranged according to grade, age, prestige, etc., and when they were placed, there was a sudden problem.

It doesn't matter anything else, only the eyes of Guo Yin, the prince of this dynasty, are slanted, and he looks full of evil spirits.

That's worth it!

The gang of people who will be the prisoners are simply frightened, and soon Long Live Lord will personally preside over the inauguration ceremony, and invite hundreds of civil and military officials to watch it.

If the emperor saw the jade statue of Mr. Guo, he would definitely be dissatisfied.

"There are no secrets in the palace, I'm afraid this matter will soon reach the Guo family, the old marquis will be furious, I'll wait, I can't think of it!"

Hongchen frowned: "Don't you have a spare?" ”

She knows that the jade statue is precious, the material alone is priceless, and it takes a lot of time and money to collect materials, but in the palace, it is impossible to do this kind of work without leaving a behind.

What will be the prisoner for the master to make something, usually make a few more, pick out the best offerings, jade statues are precious, it is impossible to make a few, leaving a spare one, is also the proper meaning of the question, especially the few adults who are still alive in this dynasty, even more so.

Hearing this, Liu Hong wanted to cry without tears.

"The problem is, the eyes of that jade statue can't be crooked!"

The people who will be imprisoned are not fools, they are all careful people, how can they send a jade statue with squinted eyes over?

"That jade statue is carefully carved by our craftsman, and it looks perfect in your hand, but as soon as you put it into the Inviting Heaven Pavilion, something went wrong."

Liu Hong sighed, "The people of the Guo family already know, and Old Man Guo is also quite worried, let us think of a way no matter what, and be sure to deal with this matter before Your Majesty goes to see it." ”

"What does my father-in-law mean?"

Liu Hong whispered: "We are thinking, isn't there something wrong with the jade statue, maybe the aura is not harmonious?" Maybe it's something else. ”

He said this in a very soft voice.

Hongchen was clear.

There is no problem with the jade statue itself, but once you put it on, there is something wrong when you board it, and it will indeed make people feel weak and chilled.

The eunuchs in the palace believe in ghosts and gods more than ordinary people, and if such a strange thing happened, if it didn't involve the old prince Guo, one of the few kings with different surnames in the Great Zhou Dynasty, I am afraid that they would have been too frightened to care anymore.

Hongchen was stunned: "I'll go to the Inviting Heaven Pavilion first." ”

That's fine.

Now there are still many craftsmen in the Inviting Heaven Pavilion who are doing the final repairs, and they also have to be thoroughly cleaned, and there are not many of them.

However, this matter is not easy to publicize, Hongchen is also very low-key, he didn't take a car, only followed Liu Hong and two little eunuchs, and went upstairs quietly from the side door.

As soon as she went upstairs, she felt a strong aura, and the entire building was steaming with purple gas.

It is really worthy of being built by the national teacher himself, it is indeed not ordinary, the location is good, it is a full feng shui treasure, and all the materials used are full of aura.

Look at the jade statues again. There are also spirits, placed here, and the aura of the temple is integrated, day after day, year after year, it will be able to bless the descendants, and the monarchs and ministers complement each other, which is of great benefit.

Hongchen squinted his eyes, and when he went up to the third floor, he saw Guo Yin's statue.

The statue is located due east.

The Great Zhou is valued by the East.

Guo Yin's location is obviously excellent. I heard that it was set by the Lord Banzai himself.

Hongchen was startled. No wonder Liu Hong is afraid, anyone who sees it will probably be afraid.

The whole statue looked black, and its eyes were not slanted. It's evil. On the whole, it seems that there is a majestic appearance of the old general Guo Yin. Like a bully, especially with armor and a sword. The sword light is cold, making people feel cold all over the body.

Liu Hong didn't dare to go over, so he only asked people to bring the portrait painted by Master Yan.

The portrait is completely different, majestic and solemn, very solemn, but with a trace of mellowness and harmony, it simply paints the essence of the spirit, even if you have not seen Guo Yin himself, you will feel very similar.

"No matter how famous Shuangli is, he still can't compare to the veteran."

Over the years, the size of the double Li is famous in the four countries, Yan Lao painting saint is very low-key, there are many years of no new works, in terms of price, I am afraid that the size of the double Li and his old man is not much different, but when it comes to such things, the imperial court is obviously the first to think of Yan Lao painting saint.

Hongchen couldn't help but be fascinated.

It's just-"Is it really a portrait?" ”

Liu Hong sighed, waved his hand, and two rough eunuchs came over, helping to carefully lift the jade statue down, resting on the table next to it, the sun shined, and the jade statue was plated with a layer of gold powder.

In particular, this is carved from warm jade, and there is a special halo, which is like human skin, and the whole jade statue is lifelike.

Hongchen was also a little strange, thought about it, and said softly: "Okay, I'll take a look." ”

As she spoke, she closed her eyes and let go of her psychic sense.

She may not have noticed anything unusual, but she didn't know that the jade statues in the room were faintly starting to glow.

Liu Hong is okay, he has seen the world in the end, those craftsmen, and a few little eunuchs can't help but plop down and kneel down, reciting Amitabha Buddha!

After a while, when he opened his eyes, Hongchen exhaled: "The jade used for the statue of General Guo is not the same as other jades?" ”

Liu Hong trembled: "Sure enough, it's a mistake with jade?" Although it is the same warm jade, other jade, compared to this piece, the quality is slightly worse. ”

There is no need to say it thoroughly, everyone sees that the other statues are just light white light, shining under the sun, and they can't be seen if they don't look carefully, but Guo Yin's one is jade white, with high brightness, and it is even more precious at a glance.

"This piece of warm jade was personally selected by General Guo, we only have such a large piece in the entire library, handed over to our craftsmen, only two portraits were carefully carved, General Guo personally selected this one, and the other is a spare ......"

Liu Hong sighed.

Needless to say, the spare one is the same, it was originally good, but it was a shocking change when it was placed.

"Now the eunuchs on duty at night don't dare to come."

Hongchen frowned and pondered for a moment: "Put it back and take a look." ”

Several rough eunuchs looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and slowly carried the jade statue back.

It's just amazing.

Just watching, almost in the blink of an eye, everything is different.

Hongchen thought for a moment and nodded: "Sure enough, the other jade statues are all made of the same kind of jade, and may even be made of jade in the same place, and the aura is the same, and they naturally complement each other when put together, but suddenly insert a different one from it, and the jade statue has a spirit, it will be repulsed...... Although, it's still weird. ”

Even if it is rejected, it is possible for the jade statue to be broken, and it is rare to change its appearance.

I was looking closely, and there was a loud bang downstairs.

Liu Hongden was furious, turned around suddenly, walked to the staircase angrily and looked down, and the next moment he stopped his voice, his pupils contracted, and before he could vent his anger happily, there was a little bitter smile on his face.

"Lao Liu, how did I hear that there is something wrong with our master's jade statue! What the hell is going on! ”

Hurrying upstairs from downstairs was a young man dressed in armor, only twenty-one or twelve years old, with a face full of anger.

As soon as she looked at his face, Hongchen could see that this person must be related to the son-in-law of the Guo family who she met on Chinese New Year's Eve, and her eyebrows, eyes, and nose were very similar, if not for the difference in age. It is not an exaggeration to say that the two are twins.

And, however, the temperament looks a little different.

This person rushed upstairs in a hurry, and as soon as he approached, he was stunned, looking straight at Hongchen's face, with a strong greed on his face, his eyes looked at her directly, salivating, and even swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Liu Hong's face changed dramatically. opened his mouth. As soon as he wanted to speak, he saw that the young man took a deep breath and said, "Which palace maid?" Lao Liu, hello moisturizing, don't say it. Send me there in the evening. Your benefits are indispensable! ”

“……”

The whole floor. No one was silent.

Liu Hong almost fainted - idiot, look at that face!

How much the face of the county lord of Rong'an looks like the queen, who can not see it in the palace! It's crazy. How dare you, dare you......

With a buzz, Liu Hong couldn't wait to hit his head to death, he could no longer imagine that before the serious errand was done, there would be a death in front of him.

"Little beauty, how old are you this year, but are you old enough to leave the palace? Don't worry, brother, I have a lot of ways, I promise you to leave the palace and live a good life with me! Let you also have a good taste of men......"

Touch!

Before the man could finish speaking, the whole person flew backwards and rolled down the stairs with a grunt.

Everyone upstairs lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, including Liu Hong.

Xiao He didn't know when, appeared on the wooden floor, his figure was straight and straight, pursed his lips, and looked unhappy: "I didn't bring a sword." ”

Except for the guards with swords in front of the emperor, no one else can carry weapons.

Hongchen shook his head and said softly: "Xiaohe is also very powerful without a sword. ”

"It's too dirty, wash your hands."

Xiaohe frowned in disgust.

Hongchen smiled all of a sudden.

She was also very angry just now, although she had made people sneer more than once before, and she had met a few disciples, she had dealt with it easily and never been angry, but that was before, and people's temperament would change with time and environment.

Now she has what she wants, and she has also been raised to be a delicate woman, but whenever she encounters the slightest grievance, don't feel uncomfortable.

However, Xiaohe made such a fuss, and the unease in his heart also dispersed with the wind.

In the middle of the night, downstairs on the feet, two small men came up, holding the young man in armor, this person was pale, holding his stomach, his lips were blue, his eyes were red, and he howled as soon as he went upstairs: "His grandmother's, dare Tai Sui's head break ground, can he live impatiently?" Beat him to death for me, and send the woman to ......."

Smack, smack, smack.

Three slaps in a row.

The man stopped talking, he couldn't speak, his mouth was swollen, he coughed for a long time, he spit out two front teeth, his face puffed out and he stared in astonishment, he was shocked and frightened, and he trembled.

Seeing that this was a second goods, Hongchen was not angry, looked back at Liu Hong, and said very casually: "This matter is easy to solve, your craftsman must have done a lot of experiments, just take a big bluestone carving, the more ordinary the better, replace it, there is no aura when you take things, the surrounding jade will not react, naturally there is no hindrance." ”

Liu Hong: "......"

This kind of idea!!

After the completion of the Inviting Heaven Pavilion, the civil and military officials are here, the jade statue is something to be admired by future generations, and the others are precious jade, only the old general Guo is a big bluestone, or a practice object, and the shame will be thrown to thousands of years later.

Liu Hong opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, Hongchen turned around and walked away with the person, without stopping a step.

Xiaohe opened the way, waved his sleeves at will, and the person who spoke viciously rolled to the side, his head slammed against the wall, grinning in pain, but he couldn't even scold angrily, that mouth was red and like a radish.

The two little guys beside him were also like stupid, they didn't dare to move, they were covered in cold sweat, and they didn't dare to look at Xiaohe at all.

Liu Hong gasped, shook his head, squatted down and reached out to poke the man's swollen face, the other party was full of tears and full of anger.

"Come two people and send Zhao Ye back."

He didn't bother to remind him that the old oilman who lives in the palace has his own set of rules of conduct, and being kind to others depends on who he is.

Even if his brother is the son-in-law of the old man Guo, it doesn't work, the old man knows about it, and he first sends him to the yamen to ask for guilt.

That master can serve two generations of suspicious emperors, in the court and in the opposition, his reputation is high, and he has always relied on prudence and self-preservation.

He usually connived at his sons-in-law to make some trouble, but he was also deliberately exposing flaws, but he was not really confused.

Hongchen closed his eyes as soon as he left the palace, humming a song in his mouth, drinking tea and eating snacks, and he was fine.

Luo Niang was a little uneasy.

She also went into the palace with Hongchen, but she followed Hongchen as a female official, and she has always practiced closed-mouth meditation, and she easily did not speak, for fear that she would make a mistake and cause trouble for her master.

"Miss, this is an errand specially entrusted by the queen's mother, you are so perfunctory, you won't anger the Guo family, right?"

Even Luo Niang, who has always thought that her young lady is omnipotent, can't help but feel furious when she thinks of the Guo family.

Hongchen smiled: "They still think about it, how to make me not angry." (To be continued.) )
