The Sixteenth Story: Past and Present (2)

The jade pendant on your body is not a mortal thing, I have guarded it for a long, long time, and I don't know how long it has been. It was a long, long time ago, and I remember when I was 16 years old. At that time, the government came to catch strong men to build the Great Wall all day long, and my father-in-law and I just got married a few days ago, and he asked the government to arrest him.

I waited at home for a few years and couldn't find a trace, so I had to look for it myself. But when I arrived at the foot of the Great Wall, I inquired, how could there be anyone like me! It is said that in the past few years, many people have died in order to build the Great Wall. Many people died, so they were buried directly under the Great Wall. You can't find it! I was so anxious when I heard it!

I thought: Xianggong is only afraid that he will be more auspicious! How did our husband and wife end up like this after a few days of good life?

I was really sad, crying and crying all the time, crying and shouting the name of my husband to open my eyes. Let's reunite as a couple!

Who knew that this Great Wall was so unsturdy, it made me cry like this! This is a catastrophe!

The emperor himself came and wanted to punish me! But I never expected that he was a demon in the middle of a lust, and when he saw me, he had evil thoughts and wanted me to be his concubine. But where am I willing, but think of my poor father-in-law, and those who died innocently at the foot of the Great Wall. I can only promise him! But I have one condition. I must bury my father-in-law Fan Xiliang with Jin Dingyu, and also bury the common people who died with him. At the same time, he also had to wear linen and filial piety for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but he didn't think about it, and the dog emperor agreed without thinking about it. After burying my father-in-law, the emperor wanted to take me into the palace, but I was willing to comply, so I crashed headlong into the Great Wall. It's strange to say, just when I thought I was dead. An old immortal appeared in front of me, gave me this jade pendant on your body, and asked me to guard it and wait for its destined person to appear. That's thousands of years! You, why did you come?

Hearing this, I was so scared that my three souls were gone, how many years old monster is this! Scared to death!! But he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he had to continue to listen to the old lady.

"The old fairy didn't say anything to me, just asked me to wait for your appearance, and at the same time he passed on my supreme mana, just like I used many different identities to live in this world. I'm really tired, you're here. Now it's up to you to protect this jade! The sunspot outside has also been with me for hundreds of years, and it will follow you in the future. If there is anything you don't know, you can also ask it, of course, the premise is that it also knows. Come here and let me touch you, come..."

I really don't want to go over, but looking at the old lady in front of me, I was relieved to pass without any malice. I leaned over and crouched down in front of the old lady, who stroked my head slowly with her old bark-like hand.

At this time, I could clearly feel a stream of heat from the old lady's hand on me.

The old lady said to me while stroking, "When I was young, I was as good-looking as you, but now I have lived for thousands of years and can see through everything." The only thing I want to think about is to find out where my father-in-law is!

But even if I spend my whole life, I can't find him in heaven and earth. You still have a long way to go! Cherish the people around you, and don't regret it until you lose it. I'm tired and want to sleep. Let's go! ”

I walked out of the hut in a daze, and the black cat had been waiting for me outside.

"She told you everything?" The black cat looked at the wooden house and asked me.

I said to the black cat, "Well, said it, is the old grandmother's name Meng Jiangnu?" ”

The black cat nodded and said, "Yes, she is Meng Jiangnu." A woman with a miserable life......"

I glanced back at the cabin and saw it dissipate into the air like grains of sand in the wind. Surprised, he said, "She, she... The wooden house is gone... What's going on? ”

"She has passed on all her power to you, and naturally she will no longer exist in this space. But I don't know exactly where it went. Let's go quickly, this forest will disappear in a while! The black cat said faintly.

I could hear the reluctance in the black cat's tone. So he said to it, "Don't be sad, I will be with you in the future." Can I call you Blackie? ”

The black cat paused, stopped, and slowly turned back to me and said, "You can call me whatever you like, you are my new master." ”

I could still hear Blackie's sadness, so I didn't say anything more. Just one person and one cat walked on the road......

When I got home, my mother was surprised and asked where the kitten came from. I had to say that my friend asked me to take care of it. When I slept until midnight at night, I suddenly felt that my body was hot and unbearable, and I couldn't sleep well!

Xiao Hei jumped on my bed and said to me, "It's okay, this is my mother-in-law who passed on her internal strength to you, and you are difficult to control for a while." Come, recite the Heart Sutra with me and you will sleep peacefully. "When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks in the deep prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering. Relics, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and it is the same when you want to know it......"

Don't say it's quite effective, Xiao Hei and I read it...... I don't know when I went to sleep! It's just that I had that strange dream again, and I saw the man again in the dream, but I still couldn't see his face, only the majestic back and knife-like face.

When I woke up the next morning, I felt refreshed, and I couldn't tell what I could only say! When you wash your face, you can see that there is really a change in yourself in the mirror, although it is not obvious, but it is clear that the face is like a peach blossom, and the skin is better than snow! Oh! Oh my heart! It's beautiful!

(Yellow Nest Knife)

Mom likes Xiao Hei very much and always holds him in her arms. For the next few days, Xiao Hei never took the initiative to talk to me except for reciting the Heart Sutra with me at night, as if he was just an ordinary cat. Until one day...

It was another boring day, and I had nothing to do but play with my phone in the store, when I suddenly felt that my eyes were dark. When I looked up, there was no one, but I knew something was wrong. Somebody must have come in, or something had come in. At this time, someone pushed the door and walked in, and I looked up to see that it was the boss who had returned.

"Come on, come on, come and see what I've picked up. Danzhu, come and give me long eyes and see how about it? The boss said to me excitedly.

"Okay, don't be upset if I see it's fake!" I said half-jokingly.

I walked over and saw if it was an old knife, or broken. It's hard to say if it's worth the money! But as I approached the knife step by step, there was always a cold feeling coming from the knife. I was stunned, but I stepped forward to take a closer look at the broken knife.

"Boss, where did you get this knife? Do you know what the origin is? I asked my boss worriedly.

"It is said that this is a war knife of the Tang Dynasty, which has a history of more than 1,000 years! But I can't say whether it's specific or not, this is what I went to Beijing Panjiayuan to buy this time, 500 yuan. But if you have seen it in the industry, it is indeed a thousand-year-old knife. But the knife used by the peddler and the emperor's general must be worth a difference! By the way, Xiaojin, can I ask you for one thing? The boss said to me with a smile on his face.

"What's the matter? Won't I let my dad show you again, won't you let people in the industry see it? "As soon as I saw his smile, I knew that I was going to let my dad cut off the date and origin for him.

The boss flattered and said, "How can those experts compare with Professor Jin, a well-known scholar in your family's archaeological field?" Xiao Jin helps, I'll give you the agate bracelet I received in Karamay last time! What do you think? ”

"Deal! Boss, you have to talk about it, I've already hacked your bracelet! "This beauty in my heart is not as simple as playing for my dad to break the era. But looking at this knife always makes me feel faintly uneasy, but why can't I say?

"Then you can take the knife back at night and show it to your old man!" The boss seemed to be afraid that I would regret it, and hurriedly asked me to take it home in the evening.

Since you agreed, tonight, tonight! I had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll take it back in the evening, but let's say okay first, it may take a few days." My dad doesn't look at things casually, he has to check a lot of information. ”

"It's okay, you'll be fine if you watch it for a month, as long as you can determine the age and provenance!" The boss said indifferently.

And just like that, after work, I got the knife back. But on the way back, I always felt cold and indescribably depressed! When I got home, I saw Xiao Hei sleeping lazily on the sofa, so I wanted to go up and scare him. But when I first touched its head, it was like it was being electrified. The hair all over the body stood up! It turned out to be a surprise to me!

Seeing that there was no one at home, he said to it in a loud voice, "Alas! Are you still a civet? How timid you are! The hairs are standing up! ”

But Xiao Hei did not calm down because of what I said, but became more and more nervous.

I hurriedly said to it, "Little Black! What happened to you? It's me!"

"What's in you, what a big grudge!" Xiao Hei finally spoke, but he was really scared when he heard the voice.

At this time, Dad walked in from outside, and Xiao Hei took this opportunity to run away.

"What's wrong with Blackie?" My dad asked me with a puzzled expression.

I'm really afraid that my dad will hear Xiao Hei talking and be busy and say, "It's okay, maybe I'm sleeping and I'm scared!" Dad, you're back just in time. I have a knife for you to cut off! With that, I took the knife out of my bag.

Dad took the knife and hurriedly put on reading glasses to check carefully! After looking at it for a long time, he said to me: "Look at the patina of the knife body and the style of the knife, if I am not mistaken, this is a knife from the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"It's still my dad who is amazing, and I can see the age at a glance! Whose knife can you tell? "I can't wait." It's hard to say now, this knife is very rusty, or a broken knife. It's just that there is a line of words on the hilt, and I can only see the two words Xianghehu now. The rest has to be dealt with to see clearly! Dad said very seriously.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Dad! Break it out, I'll invite you and mom to dinner! I said happily. In fact, what I have in mind is still that agate bracelet! "Okay, leave it to me! You! I'll do everything for you," my dad said to me dotingly.
