Chapter 239: Beihai Huatuo Tells a Story (6)
A moment later, Jiang Shuai's sixth sense really came true.
Just when Jiang Shuai was half-asleep, suddenly, he found that a red halo gradually appeared in front of him, mixed with dots of crystal light, which made his eyes flicker.
Jiang Shuai thought he was dreaming again, he hated the armored warrior in the dream too much, the other party's eyes were vicious, the key was to stare at his coat pocket, clearly uneasy and kind, and wanted to snatch the treasure hidden in his coat pocket.
There is no dream for no reason, in the dark, Jiang Shuai feels that the armored warrior and Gu Yu may have some kind of connection, maybe, Gu Yu is the armored warrior's. Of course, this is just a subconscious guess, how could it be a samurai, of course, it was left behind by the female ghost when she fled in a hurry.
What's more, the armored samurai I saw in my dream was just a fictitious character that popped out of my head for no reason, and it was unwarranted. Besides, dreams are inherently unreal, and there is no need to take them seriously.
After thinking about it like this, Jiang Shuai felt that he was too nervous, and while reassuring himself not to make a fuss, he opened his eyes to see what was going on with the red halo.
It doesn't matter if he opens his eyes, Jiang Shuai called out in surprise: "Huh? ”
It turned out that the red halo came from the palm of his hand.
Coming from the gap between the fingers, to be exact.
Unfolding his palm, Jiang Shuai grew his mouth in surprise: the ancient jade in the palm of his hand changed color at some point, and when he first saw it, it emitted a blue and green light, but now the color is bright red, the whole body is transparent, and the four emit a faint crystal light.
After Jiang Shuai was surprised for a while, he suddenly became afraid: Why did Gu Yu change color all of a sudden? Bright red, like blood, and before...... Dead man's blood doesn't have much to do with it, does it?
As soon as this thought came to my heart, suddenly, I heard a "squeak", and the windows that had been tightly closed slowly and automatically opened to both sides.
Although the sound of "squeak" was very slight, after it entered Jiang Shuai's eardrums, it made him excited, and all the hairs on his body stood up.
When I looked up, I saw that the window was slowly opening to both sides, as if there was an invisible hand, trying to quietly force the window open gently.
With the help of the bleak moonlight, Jiang Shuai vaguely saw a shadow-like humanoid black shadow, fluttering and swinging outside the windowsill.
And at the moment when Jiang Shuai raised his head, the humanoid black shadow outside the window seemed to notice something, obviously stunned, and quietly disappeared to the side.
At the same time, the strangely shaped ancient jade held in the palm of Jiang Shuai's hand, its color suddenly became much more bright red, and the surface of the ancient jade was covered with a faint halo, and the red was mixed with dots of crystalline light.
The strange thing is that when a humanoid black shadow just appeared outside the window, Gu Yu seemed to suddenly have a life, not only did the color change, but it actually beat gently in Jiang Shuai's palm, and fell together, wanting to get out of the control of the palm.
Jiang Shuai was very surprised, and when he looked at the ancient jade in his palm, the ups and downs were even more severe, to be exact, not up and down, but slightly jumping up and down.
Fortunately, he had been on guard for a long time and had grasped it tightly, otherwise, Gu Yu would have been out of his palm a long time ago.
When the ancient jade jumped up and down, through the red halo, Jiang Shuai vaguely saw that the ancient jade seemed to contain a word, the reason why "contain" is used is because this word is very three-dimensional, seal, more strokes, and sharp edges and corners.
With the change of the color of the red halo, this seal character is suddenly clear and blurred. It can be said that if the ancient jade did not emit a red halo outward, it would not have found a word hidden in the jade at all.
Jiang Shuai took a look at this seal character, although there were many strokes, but he still roughly recognized that this was a "river".
Immediately, Jiang Shuai concluded that the owner of Gu Yu was surnamed Jiang.
In other words, Gu Yu was left behind when the female ghost fled, so it was concluded that the female ghost's surname was Jiang before her death.
Since the female ghost calls herself "Xiaoqian", her name should be "Jiang Xiaoqian".
As soon as Jiang Shuai made this judgment, he saw that the piece of ancient jade in his palm was beating slightly again, up and down, as if he was sensed by some kind of consciousness, and wanted to get out of his palm.
And, the direction in which Gu Yu jumped was towards the window sill.
This further confirms Jiang Shuai's judgment: Guyu has a master, and its master is a female ghost.
And at this moment, the female ghost has just appeared, and the window is opened by the female ghost, and she is hiding outside the window.
Now, Jiang Shuai suddenly understood why the female ghost had returned: Gu Yu was very important to the female ghost, and when she found out that Gu Yu had been left in the room, she came back to retrieve it.
Well, it must be like that!
And the reason why the female ghost hid outside the window and did not dare to come out was, of course, because she was afraid of being attacked by a "weapon".
Thinking of this, Jiang Shuai's fear of ghosts disappeared, he clenched Gu Yu tightly in his hand, raised his head, faced out of the window, and said sharply: "Jiang Xiaoqian, although you are a ghost, I am not afraid of you, I advise you to get out of here quickly!" If you dare to come in, I'm going to ......," and then continued, "I'm going to be rude to you!" ”
Originally, he wanted to scold the other party away, but when the words came to his lips to threaten the other party, he couldn't help but feel very embarrassed when he thought of the scene when he took off his pants and took out his weapon, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he quickly changed the topic, and said: "I know that you Jiang Xiaoqian want to take things away, but everything has to be reasonable, the bottle was bought by me Jiang Shuai from the ghost market, and the thing in hand is mine, and you came out of the bottle, so you are also bought by me with money, so of course your things are mine, I'm right. ”
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Shuai was unhappy in his heart, when he bought the bottle, it was equivalent to buying back a ghost, how could he ...... It's so awkward.
He has a bad premonition, ghosts are ghosts, people are people, and they are separated from each other by yin and yang.
Thinking like this, Jiang Shuai became alert again, his eyes swept around, except for a bed, the room was empty, there was no axe and machete or anything like that, so he naturally wanted to use hot urine to deal with female ghosts, so Jiang Shuai grabbed Gu Yu tightly with one hand and grabbed the belt of his trousers with the other.
He decided that at the moment of crisis, he would have to use "weapons" if necessary, and as for civilization, he would not care about it.
Although the method is vulgar, as long as you can keep the ancient jade, it doesn't matter so much.
At this moment, the floating shadow outside the window reappeared, and this time, after the shadow appeared, it was faint at first, like a humanoid green smoke, and immediately became clearer and clearer.
Jiang Shuai took a closer look, and it was not bad, it was the woman in ancient costume who appeared on the bottle at the beginning: her skin was like clotted fat, her shirt collar was exposed, her eyes were moving, and her eyes seemed to be smiling.
It's just that the woman's body is like tissue paper, hanging out of the window, and in the darkness she is blown around by the cold wind of late autumn, and if the wind is stronger, it seems that she will be swept away with a hula.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Jiang Shuai couldn't help but feel pity, thinking of the dead man's blood, hair, and the yellow talisman that floated around and turned into powder, Jiang Shuai concluded that the female ghost was trapped in the bottle, or locked in the bottle, of course, what witchcraft was used in it is unknown.
There is a grievance!
"Alas!" Jiang Shuai sighed, thinking of the words that the female ghost said to thank the son for saving his life, and after a little silence, he said to the female ghost, "You should be called Jiang Xiaoqian, right?" As I expected, you must have died a very unjust death, suffered a great grievance in your life, were trapped in a bottle, and your soul could not be reincarnated, right? ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Shuai paid attention to the other party's expression.
I saw that after listening to Jiang Shuai's words, the female ghost shook her head first, nodded again, and stopped talking.
Jiang Shuai was puzzled and asked, "You shook your head and nodded again, what do you mean?" ”
"My name is Jiang Xiaoqian, my surname is Zhou, my name is Zhou Xiaoqian." The female ghost finally spoke, her voice was very soft and soft, although the windowsill was less than 5 meters away from Jiang Shuai, but the other party's voice came, as if it came from another space.
As soon as he heard that the other party was not surnamed Jiang, Jiang Shuai was secretly happy: In this way, the original owner of Gu Yu was not her.
The reason is very simple: there is a seal character "Jiang" inside Gu Yu, which means that its real owner is surnamed Jiang, and this female ghost is surnamed Zhou, so Gu Yu is not this female ghost.
To be precise, the original owner of Gu Yu was not this self-proclaimed ghost named Zhou Xiaoqian, but a person surnamed Jiang, but Gu Yu went from the hands of the surnamed Jiang to the hands of Zhou Xiaoqian, and that's it.
"It turns out that your surname is also Zhou," Jiang Shuai said while quietly stuffing Gu Yu into his pocket, "What a coincidence, my surname is also Zhou, and it was a family five hundred years ago, and we were originally a family, so it is natural for me to rescue you from the bottle, you don't have to thank me." ”
After saying this, Jiang Shuai smiled generously. Of course, as soon as he said that his surname was Zhou, the other party didn't know anyway.
"If it weren't for Childe kicking the bottle to pieces, I don't know if there would be a day to go. For Zhou Gongzi's great kindness, Xiaoqian is very grateful. ”12
"Oh, that, you're welcome, didn't I say it, it's all surnamed Zhou, a family five hundred years ago, it should be!" After Jiang Shuai finished speaking, his tone changed, "I said Xiaoqian, your soul is free now, hurry up and reincarnate." Dust to dust, dust to earth, death cannot be resurrected, and life will be in peace in the next life. ”
Although Jiang Shuai had many questions in his heart, such as how Zhou Xiaoqian died before her death, what grievances she had, who locked her in a bottle with witchcraft, etc., he was not interested at this time, and he didn't bother to ask, he wanted to send Zhou Xiaoqian away quickly.
Now the focus is on Gu Yu, and the baby must not be asked to go back by Zhou Xiaoqian.
If Gu Yu is asked to go back by the other party, not only will the bamboo basket be empty, but it will not be a waste of rice by stealing chickens. Because, Jiang Shuai's body has been poisoned in the process of tinkering with the bottle, so he is waiting for the ancient jade to be identified by Boss Xiao after dawn.
When you get rich and have money, you immediately go to the best hospital and find the highest level doctor to get rid of the yin poison in your body.
Therefore, at this time, Gu Yu is Jiang Shuai's life, and it must be saved!
On the contrary, whatever he was worried about would come, just when Jiang Shuai wanted to send away the other party's two words, and just after the words fell, he saw Zhou Xiaoqian bow deeply to him and said: "Childe's life-saving grace to Xiaoqian is really unforgettable, but to save people to the end, I hope that Childe can return things to Xiaoqian!" ”
This bow, Jiang Shuai saw it more clearly, the other party was completely a piece of tissue paper, or rather, shaped like a piece of tissue paper, a bow over, his body fluttered and swayed, like a weak rose in the wind, which could be broken by the wind at any time.
Jiang Shuai was stunned: That's not right! The description of ghosts in the book is not like this, it doesn't look much different from normal people, it's just that the yin qi and cold skin are just there.
The Zhou Xiaoqian in front of her, no matter how you look at it, is far from the image of the imaginary ghost, what's going on?
Of course, this thought just flashed in a flash, Jiang Shuai didn't think too much, for him, the top priority was to keep the ancient jade in his pocket, and he resolutely couldn't return it to the other party.
"What did you say?" Jiang Shuai directly pretended to be confused, looked puzzled, and said, "Give the things back to you?" What is it? You must be mistaken, how can I have your stuff here? ”
"Childe smiled, you just said that you bought the bottle from the ghost market with money, and my things are yours, why don't you know about it?"
Jiang Shuai's face turned red, what the other party said was right, he really said "a reason" to the window, and he had taken the initiative to admit that he had taken the other party's things, and now he was "exposed" by the other party in person, and his face was really unbearable, after all, as a dignified man, he was not speaking generously enough.
"Oh, the bottle was yours at first, but, wasn't it broken by my kick later," Jiang Shuai deliberately drew the focus to the bottle in order to find himself under the stairs, "The bottle has become fragments, and there is nothing, so what originally belonged to you is gone!" ”
The potential meaning of this sentence is: What you Zhou Xiaoqian said is a bottle, which originally belonged to you, but now the bottle is broken and the thing is gone!
Obviously, Jiang Shuai's words are not logical, the bottle was bought by him with money from the ghost market, of course it belongs to him, how can it be Zhou Xiaoqian's?
At this time, Jiang Shuai didn't care about the logic or illogical, and the reason why he used the bottle to talk about things was to not expose Gu Yu. What is a broken bottle, jade is a treasure, it is the point, you must hide the ancient jade, and you must not let the other party find it.
When Jiang Shuai spoke, he had already made up his mind in his heart: if the other party mentioned Gu Yu, he would say that he hadn't seen it, and he hadn't seen anything!
Jiang Shuai understood that the purpose of Zhou Xiaoqian's return was for Gu Yu, although the other party's body was as thin as paper, light and fluttering, as if he was not a ghost, but even if he was not a ghost, he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with.
It is very likely that Gu Yu is extremely important to the other party, and the other party will not give up.
Immediately, Jiang Shuai's worries became a reality.
I saw Zhou Xiaoqian's body swing, and she entered the house from the window, and after her body stabilized, she stretched out her hand and pointed to Jiang Shuai's coat pocket and said, "Childe misunderstood, what I said was not a bottle, but the jade in your pocket." ”
"Jade? What jade? Jiang Shuai continued to pretend to be confused, he tightly covered his pocket with his hand, and said with a weak heart, "I don't have anything in my pocket, what jade you just said, I can't understand it at all!" ”
Jiang Shuai is ready to use the most primitive and simple way to deal with Zhou Xiaoqian, this method is: play Laipi.
Just say that I don't know anything, there is nothing, you Zhou Xiaoqian won't turn over my pocket.
Jiang Shuai knew that although it was dark outside at this time, it shouldn't be long before the sky brightened, as long as he heard the rooster crowing, everything was OK.
As soon as the rooster crows, everything that is unclean in the dark will naturally disappear.
Unclean things of course include Zhou Xiaoqian, even if she is not a ghost, she also belongs to the supernatural, she will be afraid of the light, and when she hears the rooster crow, she will definitely be invisible.
So, being a scoundrel is the best way to waste time.
Who knows, as soon as Jiang Shuai finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by his own words: I saw a burst of red light through his pocket, and even if he covered it with his hand, his pocket also fell rhythmically together.
Jiang Shuai was secretly surprised: Gu Yu is indeed a treasure, not to mention the color change, it just has life, which shows that it has extraordinary spirituality.
Jade is connected with the soul and is full of spirituality, which has been recorded in ancient books in the past. It is conceivable that this piece of ancient jade has been with Zhou Xiaoqian for a long time, to be precise, when the bottle becomes the burial object of the tomb owner, the ancient jade belongs to Zhou Xiaoqian.
At the beginning, Boss Xiao said that the bottle should be something of the Ming Dynasty, and according to this time, not to mention a thousand years, seven or eight hundred years. Seven or eight hundred years, this piece of ancient jade has accompanied Zhou Xiaoqian through a long night, and it has long been close to him, so after Zhou Xiaoqian appeared, it was as if it suddenly had life.
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Jiang Shuai said: "You are right, I did get a piece of jade, which is in my pocket." But why do you say that this piece of jade is yours? Do you know, the bottle was bought by me from the ghost market, and the ownership of the things I bought belongs to me, and the jade is what I got from the bottle, so of course the jade is mine. ”
After speaking, without waiting for the other party to speak, he added, "I know that this piece of jade has been with you long enough, and you have an induction, and you can't do without it." But, let me be honest with you, this piece of jade is very important to me, and I have to get it, or ...... I may be in danger of my life. Since I have a life-saving grace for you, even if the jade is yours, why don't you give it to me? Just thank me for the gift! ”
Jiang Shuai's words are very true. He really needs this baby, the reason is very simple, in order to get rich, with money, he has to quickly go to a big hospital to find a famous doctor to see what kind of poison he has been in. If Gu Yu is asked to leave by the other party, get rich? Hang it, wait for death!
In addition, since Jiang Shuai put Gu Yu in his palm and held it for a while and then put it in the pocket of his underwear, the cold and bone-chilling feeling before was greatly reduced, which strengthened his judgment that Gu Yu is a treasure, maybe, Gu Yu can get rid of the yin poison in the body, if this is the case, he will not be in a hurry to make a move, first take it in his hand for a while and play with it for a while to get rid of the yin poison.
Hearing Jiang Shuai's words, Zhou Xiaoqian asked strangely: "Son, is jade really that important to you?" You just said that without it, you would be in danger of your life, why do you say that? ”
"Alas!" Jiang Shuai sighed and said, "Do you know, in order to save you from the bottle, I almost put myself on the ......"
Next, he explained how to scrape the blood with a fruit knife and how to pluck out the hair in the bottle one by one with his hands...... Of course, in the process of speaking, Jiang Shuai tried his best to exaggerate his own merits in line with the principle of exaggerating and exaggerating completely unrealistically, for example, he said that he felt that there was a soul locked in the bottle at the beginning, and in order to rescue the soul, he ignored the danger of poison and acted bravely.
When talking about the yellow talisman, it was clear that the yellow talisman was detached from the bottle and turned into powder in the air, but Jiang Shuai said very seriously, at that time, a piece of yellow paper suddenly floated out of the bottle, with all kinds of strange symbols painted on it, and he immediately concluded that this yellow paper was the culprit who trapped the unjust soul, so he rushed up desperately and tore the yellow paper into pieces......
In short, Jiang Shuai wanted the other party to know that he was poisoned because he rescued the other party.
In this way, there is only one purpose: you Zhou Xiaoqian have to repay me Jiang Shuai, so Gu Yu will naturally belong to me.
Just when Jiang Shuai said more and more, Zhou Xiaoqian's expression became more and more wrong: her face changed from calm to confused, and then, her doubts gradually turned into anger, and for a while, her facial muscles were distorted and deformed, and her face suddenly became very hideous and terrifying.
Seeing that Zhou Xiaoqian suddenly became terrifying, Jiang Shuai was suddenly startled, he stopped his mouth, and subconsciously took two steps back, and a chill immediately appeared on his back.
At this moment, a scene from the movie "Painted Skin" appeared in Jiang Shuai's mind: the beautiful woman with a delicate appearance is actually a demon who plucks people's hearts, and she is draped in a specially drawn human skin on the outside, in order to confuse the man, the evil ghost deliberately painted the facial features very charming, so that the man was fascinated by just one glance, and then the evil ghost easily pulled out the man's heart and sucked his essence and blood to achieve his cultivation purpose.
The more Jiang Shuai thought about it, the more scared he became, this one named Zhou Xiaoqian looked light, was it a human skin! Quite possibly!
While secretly scolding himself for being confused and not being vigilant, he had the audacity to carefully observe the other party, to be exact, the other party's face.
He wanted to see if the other person's face was drawn with a pen, and since the two sides were very close, if the other person's face was really painted with a colored pen, he could still see it.
Precisely, at this time, a faint moonlight shone into the house through the window, and it was so coincidental that the moonlight just fell on Zhou Xiaoqian's face.
In this way, the other party's facial features can be seen more clearly.
At this time, Zhou Xiaoqian's face was no longer hideous and terrifying, but her muscles were shaking incessantly, in fact, it was not so much shaking as twitching. At the same time, his eyes are very complicated, there is a trace of helplessness and despair in his eyes, and more anger.
At a glance, Jiang Shuai denied the concept that the other party was "painted skin".
Why do you say that, because the other person's facial expression is too real, and when the face twitches, the texture of the skin is vivid, which is by no means depicted with a pen.
At the same time, due to the distance between them before, and the darkness of the night is not clear, the facial features seen are more blurred. At this time, a touch of moonlight happened to fall on the other party's face, and in addition, the two sides were very close, so it could be said that they were close at hand, so Zhou Xiaoqian's face looked very clear at this time. And after taking a closer look, Jiang Shuai couldn't help but be stunned: Zhou Xiaoqian is so beautiful!
