Chapter 55: The Knot of the Same Death
"What's going on?"
"The cup shattered, and the splinters cut his neck!"
Qi Dapeng explained what happened succinctly, and the white napkin he pressed on Cheng Peng's neck had been soaked in red.
The ambulance came quickly, and Cheng Peng was taken to the nearest hospital after emergency treatment.
When he was carried into the ambulance, Zhang Ling saw that Ziyu's ghost had two bloody tears on his face.
"Damn, how could she have such great power!"
Zhang Ling really couldn't understand that she had no anger in her body, how could she have such a powerful force that could break through the restrictions of the yellow fu to harm Cheng Peng!
"Quack!"
The crow's voice sounded again, Zhang Ling looked up, and saw that the two crows from yesterday were perched on the branches again and looked at Zhang Ling and made an ugly cry!
"Damn, you, go and knock those two crows down for me!"
Zhang Ling pulled over a young man with a hurried look, pointed to the branch, and ordered angrily
"What, what crow?"
"That's the ......"
When Zhang Ling looked up again, he found that the two crows had disappeared at some point.
"No, it's okay, you go get busy!"
Sending the young squire away, he turned his head to look at Ziyu's position, and sure enough, she had disappeared without a trace.
"What the hell is going on? Why is there a crow every time something happens? ”
Zhang Ling rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought, his brain had turned into a mess, this was the first time he had encountered such a tricky thing.
……
Cheng Peng was lucky that the fragment did not cut his artery, although he was a little weak but his life was safe.
He leaned silently on the hospital bed, his eyes staring blankly ahead, his hand gently caressing the jade pendant of the winged bird hanging around his neck.
Zhang Ling didn't pay attention to Cheng Peng's small movement at first, but after Cheng Peng continued this action for a few minutes, Zhang Ling suddenly stood up and looked at the jade pendant and said, "Mr. Cheng, I want to ask where the other half of the jade pendant is?" ”
"Jade pendant? has been buried with my wife in the ancestral grave of my Cheng family! ”
"Jade pendant, yes, it must be jade pendant!"
Zhang Ling thought of a possibility in his mind, he stood up and said to Lu Mingxuan, "Mingxuan, can you find relevant information about this pair of jade pendants?" It's best to know the origin of this jade pendant! ”
Lu Mingxuan nodded and said, "I'll try my best to check, but usually this kind of thing is a dark weapon, and it is only put up for auction after countless circulations and whitewashing, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to find the origin of this thing!" ”
"Do your best, if you don't find out what the problem is, I'm afraid you ......"
Zhang Ling's words were not finished, but everyone knew what he meant, this strange incident was too unexpected.
Time passed day by day, there was no news from Lu Mingxuan's side, and everyone lived in panic every day, and now anything that posed a threat to Cheng Peng was not allowed to approach him, and even the injection was personally carried out by He Qiaoxin.
On the fifth day, just when everyone was exhausted, Lu Mingxuan finally returned.
He walked into the ward, followed by a little old man in a tunic behind him.
The old man was not good-looking, he exuded a strong smell of wine, and his eyes, which were already small, looked drunk and hazy.
"Ling, this is Mu Qiu, Mr. Mu, he knows about the jade pendant!"
Zhang Ling stepped forward to greet him politely, looked at the old man carefully, and said in his heart: "This old man doesn't look like a scholar, he looks like a farmer." ”
Lu Mingxuan walked to Cheng Peng's side and said, "Mr. Cheng, can you lend us that jade pendant?" ”
Cheng Peng nodded, and silently took off the jade pendant of Qi Fei on his neck and handed it to Lu Mingxuan.
Lu Mingxuan carefully took the jade pendant and sent it to Old Man Mu, the old man took the jade pendant and looked at it, then put it under his nose and sniffed it, pouted and said: "This is a dead man's thing, looking at the craftsmanship, it should be from the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the jade material is good, but unfortunately it is the wrong thing." ”
"What do you mean?"
The old man's words caught Zhang Ling's attention, and he hurriedly asked
"Do you know what it's called?"
"Isn't this a flying pendant?"
"Hmph...... It's better than flying with wings, you cultural people are quite good at naming names, this thing was called the same death knot at the time, and it was generally carved out of wood, and the owner of this jade pendant must also be either rich or expensive, and he used such a good jade material to carve such an evil thing! ”
"Elder Mu, can you tell me in detail about this same knot?"
"What Mu Lao, I'm just a bad old man who eats and waits for death, you just call me Lao Mu!"
"Then Lao Mu, what is this knot with death?"
Old man Mu took out a flat wine jug from the pocket of his tunic and took a sip and said: "I don't know when this thing has been there, but the most prosperous period of this thing was in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, when some couples in order to show their loyalty to each other, they would find some local monks to engrave a pair of single-winged and single-order winged birds and wooden pendants, and then by the monks to do it, all the couples who wear this thing, as long as any of them die, the other party will also die, this is the so-called life and death dependence!" ”
He paused and pointed to the jade and said: "Jade is a spiritual thing, and if you put a spell on this kind of jade material, that spell can last for thousands of years!" ”
"Life and death depend on each other?!"
Zhang Ling's mind immediately recalled the last few words pointed out by the ghost of Cheng Peng's wife on the word map.
"I see! I finally know what the hell is going on! ”
Zhang Ling suddenly clapped his hands and turned to Cheng Peng's side and said, "Mr. Cheng, your wife doesn't want to harm you, but wants to protect you!" ”
"What, what do you mean?"
A hint of excitement suddenly flashed in Cheng Peng's godless eyes, and he struggled to sit up straight and look at Zhang Ling.
"I don't think the accidents that happened before were done by Madame Zun, and the reason why you have been able to save the day many times is probably because she is secretly protecting you!"
Speaking of which, all the things that he couldn't figure out before suddenly became clear, and he suddenly realized that he had made a huge mistake.
"Quick, rip off all these yellow talismans in the ward!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly ripped off all the door charms that were pasted on the windows and lintels of the wards.
As those yellow talismans were torn off, a gray shadow appeared in the corner of the ward, it was Cheng Peng's wife Ziyu.
At this time, she had a sad smile on her face, and she nodded at Zhang Ling, as if thanking him.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling also smiled at her, then looked at Old Man Mu and asked, "Old Mu, how do you break this knot of death?" ”
