Chapter 195: Ghost Seal
The hooked nose and the skinned villain were chattering and bickering, but Jiang Liyi kept his eyes on his nose, and his nose sat there motionless, without even looking at them.
But a monk sitting in the first place said lightly: "Be quiet!" The things of the mountain people never borrow evil from the murderer. It's useless for you to break your scalp! ”
As soon as the monk spoke, the hook-nosed and skinned villains immediately died down and did not dare to quarrel anymore. The skinning scoundrel had a flattering smile on his face and said, "Mr. Ku is right, it's that we are too anxious. ”
As soon as he said this, I was suddenly shocked in my heart, and even Jiang Liyan couldn't help but look up and look ahead.
Sitting on the first chair was indeed a bald monk in monk's robes!
I immediately remembered what Shamushak had said to me, there are four unprovoked beings in the ghost market of Hongmu Mountain, one person, one corpse, one ghost, and one monster.
Among them, that person is the bitter monk who ranks third on the murder list.
The murderer list is a list with high gold content, and the top ten murderers can be called top masters. As the third-ranked bitter monk, the exorcists and innocent people he has killed have reached a shocking level.
According to the information issued by the Vatican Convention, a total of 367 exorcists died at the hands of the bitter monks, and more than 1,200 innocent people.
This data is only evidence, and I don't know how many of the dead people have no evidence and no record.
I really didn't expect this guy to come to the Treasure Pavilion too! And also sat in the position of the first chair!
I secretly looked at the bitter monk and found that this person was wearing a gray cloth monk's robe, wearing mango shoes on his feet, and a string of prayer beads around his neck. His face was wrinkled, his hands were always on his chest, and his face was full of misery.
Seriously, if it weren't for the skinning villain, this image alone would definitely be considered an ascetic monk who devoted himself to Buddha.
It seems that people should not be disguised, and this is true.
As soon as the bitter monk said this, everyone finally died down and no longer looked at Jiang Li.
It's just that after everyone quieted down, the bargaining voices in the Treasure Pavilion became louder, and the people who only listened were impetuous, and they couldn't help but want to scold.
I stood patiently behind Jiang Li's chair, but I was secretly looking at the others and the evil. There are eighteen chairs in total, and it stands to reason that there should be eighteen VIPs.
Nine of them are living and nine are evil. There are already six on the living side, and seven on the evil side.
It's just that these evil living people don't feel like they're at a trade fair, they're at a meeting.
I whispered to Shamushak, "Lao Sha, do you think they are in a meeting or are they going to trade something?" ”
Shamushak said with a bitter face: "Big brother, I haven't entered the Treasure Pavilion either. What are these bigwigs doing here, how do I know? ”
I was about to ask again, but I heard the girl next to Jiang Liyan whisper: "It's a trade fair, and it's also a meeting." ”
I perked up and said, "What do you say?" ”
The girl Nunu mouthed and said, "Those bargaining exorcists and evil spirits are all under the hands of these eighteen distinguished guests. To put it simply, the big guy is high up and disdains to do those trivial things, and these subordinates do these jobs. ”
When she pointed me out like this, I instantly understood. It's no wonder that the bigwigs are so high that they don't go to the Treasure Pavilion to pick things at all. It turns out that the exorcists and evil spirits have long been at their service.
It's no wonder that this group of people are bargaining like in the vegetable market, even if they are blushing and thick-necked, they don't dare to do it. With so many bigwigs watching from above, who would dare to do it?
I said to the girl, "You guys are trading down there, too?" ”
The girl shook her head: "There is no shortage of those things on the Five Fingers Mountain. We're here for those four treasures. She looked at the bitter monk, and her voice was very low: "Since the bitter monk is here, the evil corpse and the human-faced spider may also come." Alas, those four treasures ......"
I'm getting more and more curious when I hear it, the ghost market in Hongmu Mountain, there is really a baby? So I hurriedly asked, "What baby?" Is it an exorcist? ”
The girl looked at me with a strange expression, and then looked at Jiang Liyi. After finding that Jiang Liyan didn't say anything, she whispered: "A mirror, a gold seal, a gourd, and a sword!" ”
That mirror is called the Yin-Yang Mirror, and it is a bronze from the pre-Qin era. The mirror is concave on one side and convex on the other. The concave side is the shaded side, and the convex side is the sunny side.
It is rumored that the yin and yang mirror shines on the yang side of the person, and the yin side shines on the ghost. Whether it's a human or a ghost, you can know it with just a photo.
And the golden seal is a well-known ghost seal. It is rumored that the Shang king Wu Ding conquered the ghost party, and it was three years old. Unexpectedly, because the killing was too heavy, after the class teacher returned to the court, there were unjust souls who followed him into the palace.
So there were many evils in the palace, and the people were terrified and miserable.
The Shang king Wu Ding was furious and ordered his warlocks to deal with the haunting ghosts. So the warlock invited Wu Ding, the king of Shang, to carve the seal of the ghost suppression, which was specially used to suppress the evil ghosts.
The pattern of the town ghost seal is extremely complex, so it took three years to complete the carving, this thing is made of gold, and the runes under the big seal are extremely complex, once the mark appears, the ghosts all retreat.
Later, King Wu defeated the Emperor, and the King of Xuan once summoned ghost soldiers and generals with the seal of the town of ghosts, trying to redeem the defeat, but the Mandate of Heaven did it, even the powerful ghosts could not change the direction of history, and were eventually replaced by the Zhou Dynasty.
Later, the town ghost seal disappeared, and the Zhou Dynasty Taifu searched all over the world and never found any clues, so he had to give up the town ghost seal. Since then, the town ghost seal has become a legend.
As for the gourd, it is neither gold, nor iron, nor wood, half warm, half cold, and some people want to open it, but the mouth of the gourd is always firmly closed, and no matter what method is used, it cannot be opened.
Some people once speculated whether the gourd was solid or not, so it could not be opened. But when I shook the gourd carefully, I could hear the sound inside.
Although everyone couldn't figure out what was in the gourd, it didn't hinder their intuition about the gourd. It's a strange thing! It has a long history, even beyond the Xia, Shang and Zhou eras, and it is something from the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors!
As for the last sword, it is not simple, this is a human sword.
The so-called human sword is made of the three souls and seven spirits of people. If you want to forge a human sword, you must have a swordsmith who uses himself as a raw material, throws himself into the flames, and uses his soul as a sword.
Since then, each generation of sword-wielders will choose to use their three souls and seven spirits to maintain this sword when they die, and then hope to pass it on for thousands of years.
If the human sword is passed down from generation to generation, it will eventually become stronger and stronger. But in the same way, the shortcomings of this thing are also obvious, as long as the inheritance is broken, the three souls and seven spirits will gradually disperse, and in the end, no matter how sharp the long sword is, it will lose its color and become a rusty broken sword.
The girl said to me that among the four treasures, the human sword was originally the most powerful, but the human sword has been broken for thousands of years, and it has long been rusty, and it is difficult to raise, so it is the most broken one.
And that gourd is the most mysterious one.
I listened to her introduce them one by one, but my heart began to beat thump. I don't care about the sword or the yin-yang mirror, I only care about the gourd.
This is also what Zheng Kexiu asked me to bring back.
I pretended to be casual and asked, "What kind of thing did you come to Hongmu Mountain Ghost Market for?" ”
The girl was about to speak, but she heard Jiang Liyan cough softly. She immediately swallowed the words into her stomach. It dawned on me that there were now eighteen living people vying for four things, and the competition could be as cruel as you could imagine.
If someone knows what is in your heart, you will definitely be at a disadvantage all the time, and you may not be able to get anything.
Although the voice of my conversation with this girl is small, there are many people around us, and it is inevitable that people will overhear it. So it's better to be careful.
I smiled apologetically at Jiang Li, and then secretly thought in my heart, with my current situation, it should be very difficult to take that gourd away. But if you don't fight, how can you be willing?
What's more, if I return home, I don't know how I will be ridiculed by Zheng Kexiu after I go back.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard an eerie voice coming from the hall: "Everyone, are you all here?" ”
