"A broken bracelet, why have you studied it for so long?" Wang Mingwei finished drawing the menu, turned around and found that the two of them were still studying the bracelet, and couldn't help asking, "Just buy it and take it with you." β
"Where did you buy it?" Man Man asked, "I think this jade is good!" I'll get one another day. β
"I bought it in a shop right next to the bell tower. The name is weird, like a green building. What is it called? β
"Mingchun Pavilion?" Jiuying and Manman said in unison.
"You know? That's the name! β
Mingchun Pavilion Jiuying and Manman all know, to be exact, everyone in this industry knows. The owner of the Ming Chun Pavilion is a family surnamed Zhu who cultivates on stones. Legend has it that they have the blood of a great demon. Although the bloodline has gradually thinned out over time, it is still different from ordinary practitioners.
There was once speculation that their family's so-called Ancient Demon was nothing more than a jade rat. But no one really went back and asked what the original form of the ancestors was.
The jade rat is a creature that lives near jade mines. It is relatively rare and resembles a mouse, so it is called. The jade rats feed on the aura in the jade, but most of them are not able to cultivate the Dao.
Zhu family made a fortune by gambling on stones at the beginning and started a jade business. The business gradually expanded, and now there are some other livelihoods mixed in. Mingchun Pavilion is one of these branches.
Unlike other families who always gather their family business together to take care of it, the Zhu family all acts separately, each relying on their own ability.
The owner of Mingchun Pavilion is called Zhu Lei, and she is not yet thirty years old this year. She is a relatively rare "insulator", that is, the meridians of the whole body are blocked, and she can't even do basic practice.
There are two sides to the so-called good and bad things. Because spiritual power can't work, you can't practice. But on the other hand, she can also be said to be inviolable to all evils.
When she became an adult, she took the start-up capital from her father and opened Mingchun Pavilion. After a few years of management, the business of Mingchun Pavilion is also thriving.
Of course, Jiuying Manman didn't mention these words to Wang Mingwei, but simply explained that he was an acquaintance with the boss of Mingchun Pavilion.
Wang Mingwei didn't care about this matter at first, but just asked casually. At this time, the dishes are ready, and the pot is also misty and fragrant. Without further ado, Jiuying and Manman also let go of the doubts in their hearts and feasted.
The three of them walked back to school together and parted at the door.
Jiuying and Manman never noticed anything unusual about this bracelet. But the fact that both of them were carrying bracelets before the incident made them unable to believe that it was a pure coincidence.
When the two of them returned to their house, Man Man took out a magnifying glass from the drawer and took a closer look.
"So familiar!" Nine babies and full of people invariably spoke.
The composition of the talisman is usually complex. Just like there are many words in a sentence, a complete talisman also has its own basic elements. Each basic element has a different meaning, and the combination and arrangement of different elements can achieve different effects.
The basic elements are written in different ways, just like human handwriting has its own merits.
The penmanship of the talisman in front of him is very similar to the talisman I saw in Li Mu's hometown before, and it is very likely that it was written by one person.
It's him/her again!
Jiuying and Manman's heart trembled. Last time, the talisman still didn't investigate any results.
Qian Jin and his wife have seen it, but they don't have the slightest impression of it. Moreover, before Jiu Ying brought it back, Manman didn't remember seeing it. That is to say, if there is no problem with Jiuying's memory, that talisman is seen when Jiuying and Man Man were separated.
In this way, for the source of the memory talisman, it is full of no help at all.
But Man Man is very concerned about this matter, and often studies that talisman. I hope that next time, if I see it again, I will be able to recognize this style right away.
Therefore, as soon as the miniature carved talisman came out this time, it was recognized at a glance.
The composition of this talisman is very complicated, and Jiuying and Manman only recognize a few. Those who increase strength and accumulate strength are all aimed at the soul body. The few that can be recognized generally mean this, and there are some that I have never seen before. People don't understand what it means, but they can feel their evil.
From this, it can be concluded that the bracelet is not engraved with a positive symbol.
However, with the bracelet in hand, Jiu Ying and Man Man could not find the soul body, nor did they sense the yin qi.
"Whether it's a problem with this bracelet or not, let's not return it yet." Jiu Ying studied these talismans for a long time, and he didn't have a clue.
Studying a formed talisman is like tasting a dish. Even if you can taste a variety of seasonings and side dishes, it is not easy to restore the whole process of cooking. The change of heat, the change of seasoning, this is difficult to figure out.
The same is true for runes, which can know the elements that are composed. But how it is put together, and what it means when combined, sometimes varies greatly.
What is the purpose of such a complex talisman being carved on the inner wall of the bracelet by concealed miniature carvings? Anyway, it's going to take a long time to crack it.
And the most lacking thing now is time, they can't guarantee that the bracelet is in their hands, and they will definitely not cause trouble.
What is the connection between that soul and this bracelet? What is the identity of that soul? These are all questions that need to be clarified urgently. No matter how dead they are, they really can't bear it.
Qian Jin's husband and wife are really unreliable, and they haven't been in touch with that side for two weeks. Given that this is the norm for their husband and wife, Jiuying and Manman are not worried.
"Let's go to Sister Zhu and ask first! Let's see if I can see if I can "Jiuying and Man Man made up their minds and went to Mingchun Pavilion early tomorrow morning.
The sisters agreed to set off to patrol the school. When they found the bracelet, they were not very relieved, so the night patrol continued as usual.
Before leaving the door, Jiuying's phone rang.
Man Man glanced at the name on the screen, Yan Feng. She smiled and took a few steps ahead.
"Hello?" Jiuying picked up the phone, and her voice was soft, "Why do you remember to call me at this time?" β
Yan Feng didn't know what he said, which made Jiuying smile.
"Well, I haven't had anything to do lately, I'm quite idle." Jiu Ying didn't want to tell Yan Feng about it, at least he didn't want to say it until the case was solved.
Yan Feng insisted on refusing to enter this industry because of his childhood experience. In order to resist his father's decision, he was beaten up a lot. However, Yan Qinghai also gave up the heart of letting his son learn this.
Yan Feng didn't like Jiuying to do this. Although he never said that he had not persuaded him, Jiu Ying could see that he did not approve. It's just that out of respect for his lover, Yan Feng does not interfere with Jiuying's decision.
This time the matter was very dangerous, Jiuying didn't want to tell him first to make him worry, so he simply powdered/decorated/tai/flat on the phone.
"Huh? Really? Yan Feng told him something that happened today on the phone, and Jiuying also laughed cooperatively.
The two talked sweetly for a while.
"Why is it so noisy outside? You haven't been back to the dorm yet? β
"Oh, I just closed the shop, so I'm going back."
"Okay, then you can go back quickly! Go to bed early! β
"Good night!"
"Good night!"
Putting down the phone, the smile on Jiuying's face faded again. Yan Feng was a little speechless on the phone, after getting along for so many years, Jiuying could still hear it.
Yan Feng restrained himself and didn't say anything, but Jiu Ying knew what he wanted to say. The homicides in schools are very loud, at least, they have been reported in the newspapers and on the Internet in recent days. Of course, the titles are all very glamorous.
Yan Feng must have seen it too, so he wanted to ask. But he didn't speak, probably knowing that it was useless to ask.
Although the relationship between the two people is still very good, since the opening of "Nine Infants", it seems that the contradictions between the two people have begun to increase.
For example, the case that is being investigated recently, Jiuying does not want to disclose it at all. Although the two never made it clear, this contradiction must be getting bigger and bigger.
There is nothing the Nine Babies can do about it. She didn't want to give up her current life, but Yan Feng didn't like Jiuying to work so hard.
At the moment, we can only take one step at a time. Maybe Jiuying will choose to give up his career and return to his family because of Yan Feng's choice in the future, or maybe Yan Feng will choose to take a step back and endure Jiuying's extremely dangerous work.
In what direction the future is, Jiuying is also very confused.
"Sister?" Manman was walking in front of him, pricking up his ears to eavesdrop. When I heard the phone hang up, I turned around and found that Jiu Ying was holding the phone in a daze.
"Are you alright? Did Brother Si say anything? β
"It's okay, let's go!"
"Oh!" Man Man didn't ask any more questions. Since Jiu Ying didn't want to say it, she couldn't ask closely.
