The Sixteenth Story: Past and Present (3)
The night is like ink, and there is a waning moon hanging in the sky...... A little black cat crept in through the window and looked at me as I slept.
"When autumn comes, September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom. The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor. A deep voice was chanting slowly, from far to near...... "Who is it?" Who's reciting poetry? ”
At this time, I felt that I was in a white fog, and I could not see anything clearly, and I could only hear a man's voice whispering a very familiar poem. Suddenly, the fog slowly lifted...... I saw an ancient battlefield in front of me, and thousands of dead bodies were piled up. Countless warriors were still fighting, and in the crowd a burly man with an ugly face was armed with a long knife, and his eyes were full of murderous energy...... The sound of the wind, the rain, the shouts, the screams, the sound of broken limbs all surrounded me!
"Don't, don't...!" I felt like I was stuck in it, and I couldn't extricate myself.
"Danzhu, wake up, Danzhu! Wake up! "In a trance, I heard someone calling me, I came looking for the sound, and suddenly woke up from the dream. I just sweated profusely... Only then did I find that Xiao Hei was standing on my quilt, calling me anxiously.
It turned out that it was just a dream of Nan Ke just now! I complained to Xiao Hei: "Alas, it turns out that you are pressing me, no wonder I have nightmares!" Xiao Hei looked innocent: "What, if I hadn't woken you up, you would be in danger." Do you know what you got back at night? ”
I was puzzled and asked, "What could it be, an ancient knife." ”
Xiao Hei jumped to the head of the bed and said to me, "What, you can't feel such a big grievance?" Mother-in-law really passed on her true anger to you for nothing! ”
"Resentment, you said that I felt uncomfortable today because I felt resentment. No wonder it makes me so uncomfortable! When I saw this knife today, I felt very depressed. ”
Xiao Hei said with certainty: "Well, it's from this knife." This knife is nothing extraordinary, it is a Yellow Nest knife. ”
I was shocked: "What Yellow Nest?" That Yellow Nest of the Uprising? ”
Xiao Hei nodded and said to me, "Yes, it's him!" This knife of his is too angry! If it weren't for the jade pendant on your body and the true qi in your body protecting you, ordinary people would have been swallowed up by resentment a long time ago. ”
I was anxious when I heard this, thinking that my old man is an ordinary man! I quickly got up and wanted to see him. Xiao Hei hurriedly stopped me and said, "It's okay, the knife is in the study now, you get up early tomorrow morning, and I will teach you a way to temporarily seal the resentment of this knife." ”
After feeling a little relieved, I said to Xiao Hei, "It's okay, then you can tell me about the origin of this knife first." Xiao Hei nodded, and slowly talked about what happened thousands of years ago......
The history of the Yellow Nest Rebellion was learned when I was in school, but there is another version that most people don't know.
Gu said that this Yellow Nest was originally a Qu Xing in the sky, and was punished by the Jade Emperor to the lower realm because he mistakenly released the eight hundred evil ghosts in hell. So when he came to earth, he wanted to kill all the reincarnated people of these eight million hellish demons!
The people who were destined to be killed by him were definitely doomed. Huang Chao has a brother named Bian Lu, who is a monk of Zangmei Temple. Before the uprising, Huang Chao hid in Zangmei Temple to discuss the time, place, and plan of the uprising with Monk Bian Lu. On the day of the uprising, Huang Chao decided to sacrifice the sword. But Bian Lu always felt a little scared and flustered, so he went out of the Zangmei Temple to hide.
But he didn't feel safe anywhere he hid, and finally he saw a big tree in front of the temple, and it was empty, so he hid in it and felt very safe. Huang Chao played with a knife in front of the temple, playing with the wind and sprinkling the water impermeable. Feeling that there was no place to sacrifice the knife, he suddenly found the tree in front of him, and felt that the sacrifice knife was the most suitable, so he cut it with a knife, and as a result, he cut off the waist of Monk Bian Lu and died in the tree.
It turned out that this Bian Lu was an official who watched the hell gate, so he had to go first. Every time Huang Chao kills one, Bian Lu will be imprisoned in hell, and he will never kill anyone indiscriminately. But in the end, Huang Chao did not complete his mission and killed eight million evil ghosts, because the last two evil ghosts were reincarnated by Huang Chao's wife and children!
Huang Chao really couldn't bear to kill them, but he couldn't get together these eight million evil ghosts! In the end, Huang Chao had no choice but to kill himself! Now his resentment, and the resentment of all the demons he had slain, were all focused on the broken sword. So this knife is definitely a big hoodoo!
Listening to Xiao Hei finish talking about the cause and effect of this knife, it really scared me. The next day, I got up early and sneaked into my father's study with Xiao Hei. "Ahh Blackie sneezed as soon as he entered, and I was so frightened that I grabbed its mouth.
"Be quiet, don't let my father hear!" I whispered to it.
Xiao Hei shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm still asleep listening to their breathing!" ”
"You still have the ability, teach me when you have time!" I said enviously.
Xiao Hei said with a disdainful face: "You can't do it, your understanding is too poor, and your Taoism is too shallow!" ”
Xiao Hei jumped on the writing desk with a cat, and the knife was placed on it calmly. It sniffed and sneezed again. "It stinks!"
"Does it stink?" Curious, I also stepped forward to smell it. But I didn't smell anything.
"Can your nose compare to mine? Even if I'm an ordinary cat, my nose is brighter than yours, let alone me! Xiao Hei looked proud.
"Yes, yes, Lord Civet, how do you seal it?"
Xiao Hei smiled and said: "Simple, you concentrate your thoughts, clasp the fingers of both hands, stretch out your index fingers to touch, and silently recite in your mouth: Pro. Soldier. Fight. He who. All. Spell. Column. At. Before-Seal! ”
"I'll try, Pro. Soldier. Fight. He who. All. Spell. Column. At. Before-Seal! After I finished speaking, I looked at the knife, but there was no response, so I had to look at Xiao Hei innocently.
"Stupid! I said to concentrate your mind! Do it all over again! Xiao Hei's tone was so bad.
Alas! Helplessly, I just did it over and over again. The knife on the table flashed with golden light! Xiao Hei shouted happily: "It's done!" ”
Looking at me, I was already sweating profusely. This morning is more tiring than a morning run! Xiao Hei kept complaining that I was too stupid, too unsavvy, and too poor in physique! But fortunately, I was very happy to successfully seal this Yellow Nest Knife, so I didn't have to worry about my father.

(Sengoku Red)
A month later, I handed the knife back to my boss and told him about my father's research results. He was also surprised, he didn't expect this remnant knife to have such a big origin! In the end, the boss fulfilled his promise and gave me the red agate bracelet that I had been longing for.
Speaking of this red agate bracelet, it's a favorite of mine for a long time! I have always had a love for red agate, but now the price of red agate is too different, and the good quality such as Nanhong and Warring States red are expensive. The cheap ones are all artificially dyed fake things, and if you bring them, they will do all kinds of harm to the body without any benefit.
And although this red agate bracelet is neither southern red nor Warring States red, but his red is pure natural, red moist, I almost fell in love with it at a glance. When I got home in the evening, I took it out and gave my dad a look, but he probably thought it was too average and ignored me.
After dinner, one of my father's schoolgirls came to visit the house. My dad and mom received her very warmly and introduced me to her. This senior sister looks about 30 years old, but she has a face like Lin Daiyu, I see pity, and she speaks softly.
Gu's father introduced that the senior sister's name is Yan Hong, and she is doing the Warring States Red business in Beijing. Here I will give you a grand introduction to what is the Warring States Red: "Warring States Red" refers to a kind of agate mined in Chaoyang Beipiao, Liaoning Province in recent years, which is the same as some agate ornaments unearthed in the Warring States Period, and this material is called red jade in the pre-Qin period, so now people call this agate "Warring States Red".
There is a sweater chain on my sister's chest, like an egg-sized Warring States red, the color is round and bright red like blood, I haven't seen such a transparent blood-red Warring States red on the side red! The general Warring States red has some dark or light yellow dark lines, but this piece is very clean, not inferior to the southern red at all!
My eyes were straight when I saw it, and if it weren't for my father's coughing, my eyeballs might have fallen off. Dad said to Yan Hong embarrassedly: "This girl has always liked red agate, so when I see this piece of "Warring States Red" on your body today, I will drool." ”
I blushed when my father said it, and quickly changed the topic and said, "Senior sister, where did you get your piece of "Warring States Red", such a Xihan person? ”
Yan Hong smiled slightly and said: "This is also my fate with it, that is I saw it at a jade fair two years ago, at that time few people thought it was a good material, but I saw that its color was very positive, and there were few impurities, so I accepted it against public opinion." Come back and do a little processing, and it becomes what it is now. ”
Looking at the look on my sister's face when she talked about this agate, it seems that she really likes it! My father wanted to talk to my sister about business, so he sent me to make a pot of tea. I got up and just wanted to leave, when I saw Yan Hong's figure a little strange, as if there was a ghost. I rubbed my eyes, maybe I was looking at the flowers?
After a while, I brought the brewed tea into the study. But as soon as I entered, I was so frightened that I almost threw away the teapot in my hand. I saw that there was a woman in red on Yan Hong's body, and she was wearing it from time to time, and she should be dressed as an ancient woman. looks pretty good, but her face is pale, and she looks like a female ghost in red.
I didn't dare to say anything, put down the tea and quietly withdrew. Back in my room, I grabbed the sleeping little black, and it made my hair blow up in shock.
"Oh, ancestor, what are you doing when I'm sleeping so well?" Xiao Hei said angrily.
I whispered to it, "Little Black, there's a female ghost in the study, you can go and see it with me." ”
Xiao Hei immediately felt a lot more energetic when he heard this, he jumped lightly, got out of bed, and slipped out through the crack in the door. After a while, I heard my father shouting at me: "Danzhu, come and take Xiao Hei out!" ”
I hurriedly ran into the study, and I saw Xiao Hei being blowing up at Yan Hong, humming very unfriendly! I stepped forward and picked it up, and said to Yan Hong embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, senior sister, I didn't scare you, did I?" ”
Yan Hong was a little discolored, but she still shook her head politely and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just that I've been afraid of cats since I was a child, that's why I reacted so much." ”
I hurriedly picked up Hei and went back to my room. As soon as I closed the door, I couldn't wait to ask it, "How's it going?" See what's coming? ”
Xiao Hei moved his nose and said: "The taste of this female ghost is not very good, it has been some years, I'm afraid it has something to do with the agate she brought, it is estimated that it is a real red agate from the Warring States Period." ”
"That's not good, that senior sister of mine wears this heavy yin qi thing all the year round, will it not be good for the body?" I asked Busy Black.
Xiao Hei pouted and said, "It's not just bad for your health!" Not to mention the loss of your vitality after a long time, it is likely to kill others! ”
I was shocked: "Huh? Is it so serious? Then I'll have to remind her. ”
Xiao Hei nodded, shook his head again, and said, "With your current ability, you can't accept her, you can only persuade your senior sister to send that piece of agate to the temple for a long time to worship, and maybe you can also eliminate its karma." ”
