Chapter XVIII The Bracelet
Yan Ning stretched out his hand and touched the back of his neck and waist socket, the touch of his fingertips was warm and elastic, and Lu Heng's murderous stabbing of Monk Zhiyuan to death was indeed very similar to the scene of stabbing her to death that day.
It's great that her heart is beating vigorously, the blood is moving regularly throughout her body with her pulse, and it's great that she's still alive.
Xiao Lin searched for her all over the place, and the phone couldn't get through, so he finally chased her to the back room, and saw her standing under the tree in a daze, and couldn't help but be a little angry, "Miss Yan, why don't you answer the phone?" ”
Don't answer the phone – that's for a reason, of course.
Yan Ning didn't plan to tell Xiao Lin about Lu Heng - she didn't even figure it out herself.
"Sorry, except for a little surprise." Yan Ning pointed to the hole in the clothes on the back of his waist, and said without blushing and heartbeat: "I fell." ”
Xiao Lin looked at Yan Ning with an innocent face suspiciously, it didn't look like he had fallen out, at least Yan Ning was very clean, and he didn't get any mud on it.
"What's the matter with you looking for me in such a hurry?"
She quickly pushed Xiao Lin away, Xiao Lin was interrupted by her, and suddenly remembered what was going on-
"The abbot heard that the boss was going to repair the Buddhist temple, and specially set up a table of vegetarian seats, and everyone arrived, but you didn't know where to run, and you didn't answer the phone, everyone said they hadn't seen you, and they thought you had an accident, so they hurriedly came to find it."
Yan Ning touched her nose in embarrassment, "I hit my head when I fell, and I just woke up at this time, let's go over quickly." ”
……
……
In the evening, the Sanlang Temple is quite peaceful and quiet under the warm yellow sky.
Yan Ning didn't take a few bites before she took this opportunity to come out to blow the wind - anyone who encountered so many things in a day couldn't eat, and she didn't know if the monks in the temple knew that Zhiyuan was dead.
Zhiyuan is a monk in the temple at first glance, and the place where she was discovered by Xiaolin is so sensitive, although she really doesn't have the ability to kill Zhiyuan, but more is better than less.
The ancient temple bell rings far away, and the stone steps glow with blue light. Yan Ning walked aimlessly, and when she came back to her senses, she found herself standing at the door of a side hall.
was about to walk away, but his eyes were suddenly hooked by a jade bracelet.
It was a reddish chicken blood bracelet, very similar to the one she got in Lujia Village, but the color was extremely pure, and there was no trace of impurities in the middle.
She subconsciously got closer, but as soon as she took two steps forward, she heard the sound of jade colliding, Yan Ning only felt that her heart trembled, and the jade bracelet fell out of thin air.
landed on the red cushion, rolled twice, and was quite unwilling to be bounced back by the blocked glass.
God knows how she read the unwillingness from a dead thing
This year, the bracelet can be fine?!
Not far away, a young monk exclaimed, "Donor, slow down! ”
The monk stopped her and smiled: "Female donor, you have a relationship with it." ”
He ran over in small steps, the beads around his neck clattering, and the young monk took out the fallen jade bracelet, put it in both hands and handed it to her.
Seeing that the monk was so attentive, Yan Ning immediately understood his intentions.
She shook her head, "I'm sorry, I don't need this just yet. ”
The bracelet in Lujiacun was enough to give her a headache, and she didn't want to make any more trouble for herself. Yan Ning touched the small porcelain bottle in her pocket, which was stuffed by Lu Heng, she didn't dare to refuse at the time, and she forgot to throw it afterwards, so she brought it here.
But when she walked here, the jade bracelet happened to slide down from the display shelf, saying that there were no ghosts inside, and she didn't believe it herself.
The monk said happily and reverently: "This thing has been in the temple for several years, and now I have finally found someone who is destined." Female donor, this thing can keep the house safe! ”
Whether it can be safe, Yan Ning doesn't know, but it's definitely a huge trouble.
The monk saw her retreat, so he held the bracelet in front of her, pointed to a scratch on the jade bracelet and said: "It has found a destined person, it would rather be broken than broken, and others can't use it, so the female donor should take it away!" ”
"This is clearly what you are looking for!" She couldn't help but take two steps back, "I didn't touch it at all!" ”
The monk muttered: "Fate has always been wonderful. ”
After Xiao Lin finished greeting people, he wandered around and came over again. After Yan Ning answered his call, if it weren't for the fear that she would leave a bad impression on the other party, she would almost have left with her hands gone.
Yan Ning called him over as if begging for help, hoping that he could relieve himself from the siege.
Xiao Lin saw her embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and whispered in her ear to persuade her to buy it: "It's not the first time I've come here, this bracelet has always been good, I think, you really have a relationship with it." ”
Yan Ning was stunned, "Just because it cracked inexplicably?" ”
The monk waved his hand, "No, no, the Buddha said that all causes must have effects, which is by no means inexplicable." ”
Gradually, some monks came around to watch the excitement, Yan Ning felt alone and helpless, she was helpless: "Little master, I really have no intention of offering this thing." ”
The monk continued: "Donor, the jade bracelet is a magic weapon for the Buddha to protect sentient beings in the Buddhist family, and since it has chosen you, it means that you have a deep fate.
If you can bring it back, it will silently protect you and bring you good luck, and you should do more good deeds and accumulate blessings so that you can receive good fortune in the next life. ”
Xiao Lin stood on the side with a smile, nodding his head from time to time. Seeing her frowning, she leaned over and comforted: "Miss Yan, since it chose you, otherwise you should please go back first, if you make it unhappy......
Xiao Lin later explained to her that this jade pendant was not in the temple at the beginning, and the first to appear should be the auction in Jincheng, when the rich merchant auctioned the jade bracelet, the ceiling suddenly sunken, the wind was fierce, and then the rich merchant died mysteriously.
When the jade bracelet reappeared, it was in Yunhai City.
There was a boss's child who was kidnapped, and when he was rescued, the child was already unconscious, and he was holding the jade bracelet tightly in his hand, and he couldn't open it, and the jade bracelet was corroded from the place where it touched the palm. After the jade bracelet was brought home, the family soon broke out to evade taxes, and then the boss also fell seriously ill.
When this kind of thing happened, it naturally alarmed the high-level of Yunhai City at that time, but unfortunately the police came and used high-tech means, and they could only find out that the family died violently due to illness.
Later, someone suggested that this was a ghost made by the jade bracelet, so the Taoist priest also came, but left and right looked and said that the jade bracelet was a mascot, and there would be no rebellion against its owner, so the bracelet finally fell into this temple, and it was shared and worshiped day and night, hoping to eliminate its karma and dilute his resentment.
"This jade bracelet has been in the temple for several years now, and the boss's child didn't die back then, so it should be about the same age as you."
"Then if I invite it back, I ...... it in case I don't let it be so bad, this jade bracelet should have been destroyed a long time ago, and she swallowed the rest of the words into her mouth, because the monk's eyes had already shot at her with ice ballast unabashedly.
Xiao Lin patted it on the shoulder: "I think it attaches great importance to you, in the past, it was just that the jade bracelet felt that those people were not the right people, and it has already enjoyed a lot of incense in the temple, I think, this is a good thing." ”
The monk said: "If the donor insists on refusing, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction with the jade bracelet, and no one knows what the consequences will be." Forgive the poor monk for not being polite, and ask the donor to leave first. ”
"If Miss Yan is worried about money," Xiao Lin thought for a while, and then persuaded again: "I will explain to the boss, I believe the boss will definitely agree if he knows." ”
Yan Ning was silent, she had been busy with other designs before, and she didn't know that the supervisor had assigned her the task very late.
Because the car accident has been delayed for a day, if you can't deliver the manuscript on time, you will have to pay a liquidated damages...... She had no choice but to nod helplessly.
"Well, how much am I going to pay for it to come home?" Speaking of the back, it's almost gritted teeth, just imagine who it is, it's not happy to be bought and sold like this.
The monk smiled with relief: "No, no, it's good to have a heart, Buddhism pays attention to a fateful word, and the donor goes back and worships it well." ”
But she felt that the other party was more like kicking away a hot potato. But the lack of money did surprise her.
Her eyes fell on the bracelet, hoping that the business trip would go as he had said.
Yan Ning followed Xiao Lin for a while, wrote down the repair requirements and size, and finally returned to the hotel with the so-called bracelet that was destined for her after dark.
Out of curiosity, she searched the two cases behind the bracelet.
There is very little news on the Internet, and you can only see some clues from the auspicious light and feathers, Xiaolin did not lie to her, the jade bracelet has been worshiped in the temple for ten years.
This has nothing to do with the one in Lujia Village.
She secretly thought, no matter how big the resentment is, it should be resolved now, right?
After taking a bath at night, she took out a jade bracelet and put it under the bedside lamp to take a closer look.
However, it was not without magazines, and when I looked closely under the lamp, I found that there were still wisps of black streaks inside.
Is it an impurity? I don't know why, she always felt that since this bracelet was so precious, it shouldn't be like this, or rather, it wasn't like this in the first place.
The more I look at it, the more I feel that it is similar to the one in Lujiacun.
Thinking of this, she felt that she was thinking too much.
Since it's an illusion, everything can run out of it.
Yan Ning wiped the bracelet and prepared to take a bath.
However, the moment she put down the jade bracelet, her shoulders suddenly felt cold, it was the feeling of being clenched, as if someone was pinching her shoulders. She couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, she had obviously closed the door, and there couldn't be a second person in the room, so what was going on?
The lights in the corridor went out, followed by the bedside lamp, the wall lamp above Yan Ning's head flickered, and he couldn't hold on to it for a while, only the light in the bathroom was still on, Yan Ning's heart was beating wildly, and he ran to the bathroom as if he had escaped.
In Lujia Village, there are also dark shadows crawling from the door.
In the mirror, her face was pale, and everything was normal on her shoulder, and if it weren't for the fact that the bedroom light was still dark, she almost thought that these were all hallucinations on her face.
She turned on the faucet, and was stunned to find that the clear water that flowed out began to gather, slowly forming the shape of a hand, swaying, rising little by little, making a gesture of reaching out to her.
