After work, Xu Deyan returned home.

Xu Deyan entered the study and opened a small door at the back of the study, which was a constant temperature library.

The room is equipped with high-tech equipment that maintains a constant temperature and humidity, and is specially designed to store ancient books.

Xu Deyan's father was a bibliophile, and he was exposed to it since he was a child, and when he grew up, Xu Deyan also had his own library.

Xu Deyan rummaged through the bookshelves for a while, and soon found an ancient book bound in thread.

The thread-bound book only appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and the history of this ancient book is not very long.

The title of the book is "Zi Shen Bao Volume", the "Zi" of the twelve earthly branches belongs to the rat, and Zi is another name for the rat, so this book is actually a Rat God Treasure Scroll.

Xu Deyan flipped to one of the pages of the illustration, which showed a mouse with a green worm in its mouth.

Xu Deyan took out the photo in his mobile phone again, and compared the two, this illustration turned out to be exactly the same as the necklace pattern.

The special cultural symbols of five or six hundred years ago have been passed down to modern times and have been discovered by themselves.

Xu Deyan couldn't hold back his excitement and dialed a phone call: "Dad, guess what I found......"

Xu Deyan couldn't wait to share all this with his father, Xu Tiancheng, who was also a scholar and had a deep common language.

"The Treasure Scroll of the Son God...... It can't be a coincidence that such an unpopular book is, right? Xu Tiancheng on the other end of the phone was suspicious.

"Dad, it's really exactly the same, I've compared it several times." Xu Deyan said.

"Zishen Treasure Scroll" is not a good book, a certain careerist relied on this book to claim that the gods descended to earth, gathered people to make trouble, and was exterminated by the imperial court, your classmate Dai Zishen's necklace, isn't it a little unlucky?" Xu Tiancheng half-jokingly.

"Not to mention, the necklace she wore also contained some herbs of unknown composition, and I advised her not to wear it, but she didn't seem to listen." Xu Deyan said.

"Doctors don't save paranoid people, just persuade them, don't get involved too deeply, superstitious people are more paranoid, maybe they will blame you for this, get into unnecessary trouble, and now the doctor-patient environment is also ......" Xu Tiancheng said with concern.

"Dad, where do you want to go, that's my classmate!" Xu Deyan smiled, "Let's just say it, I'll tell you if there is a new discovery." ”

Xu Deyan hung up the phone and continued to read "Zishen Treasure Volume".

For this ancient book, he used to just browse in a hurry, but this time he happened to take a closer look.

Hey?

Xu Deyan flipped through the illustrations behind, and the more he looked at them, the more frightened he became.

The illustration reads: First the family is having fun, then a man puts on a necklace, and the man suddenly goes berserk and kills the whole family...... Finally, a mouse spits out gold.

The story before and after of this comic strip is completely illogical, but the brutality and evil revealed make people feel uneasy.

Knock knock knock......

In the quiet night, Xu Deyan seemed to be able to hear the sound of his heart beating faster, and when he read the whole book, he unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.

In the dark, there seemed to be an invisible pressure rushing to the heart, making Xu Deyan intuitively aware of some unknown danger.

Although from a scientific point of view, Xu Deyan didn't think that an evil symbol hundreds of years ago could do any harm to his old classmates, he still couldn't help but pick up the phone and wanted to tell Chen Luoying about his worries.

After a few beeps, Chen Luoying's lazy voice came from the opposite side: "Senior Xu, what's the matter, it's so late?" ”

"I sent you a few pictures, you can take a look." Xu Deyan said.

After a while, Chen Luoying said, "What does this picture mean?" I also have the pattern on my necklace, and why did the man wearing the necklace kill someone? ”

"These pictures are illustrations of an ancient book from 500 years ago." Xu Deyan said.

"Five hundred years ago?" Chen Luoying wondered.

"These illustrations are about a man who wears an evil necklace and then he loses his nature and kills all his family." Xu Deyan said.

"That'...... What does it have to do with me? Chen Luoying still didn't understand.

"The evil necklace in the book is the necklace you wear now." Xu Deyan said.

Chen Luoying compared the picture with her necklace again, was silent for a while, and said, "Then what should I do?" ”

"Although I believe in science, I also think that science can't explain everything, and if you continue to wear that necklace, maybe something bad will happen, so I suggest that you throw that necklace away immediately, no, it may be picked up by someone else, or it is better to destroy it." Xu Deyan said.

“…… I...... I'm afraid I can't do this, this chain was given to me by my mother, my mother is very stubborn, and she values this chain very much. Chen Luoying thought for a while.

Thinking of the consequences of her mother's anger, Chen Luoying simply didn't have the courage to bear it.

"Tomorrow when I have time during my lunch break, we will make an appointment with your mother, and we will talk in person." Xu Deyan said.

Although his father told him not to meddle in his affairs, Chen Luoying was his old classmate, and he couldn't ignore it.

"Okay, it's at the Mingxi Teahouse next to the hospital, my mother won't listen to my words, but your words as an expert may be able to move my mother." Chen Luoying said.

"Okay." Xu Deyan said.

"Senior Xu, I'm so troublesome to you, next time I'll invite you to dinner and thank you well." Chen Luoying said.

"Then you're welcome." Xu Deyan said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Deyan directly put the "Zishen Treasure Volume" in a plastic bag and put it in a briefcase.

He was going to take this ancient book with him, so that it would strengthen the persuasiveness, and people's trust in what was written was better than that of spoken language.

……

Bedroom, bed.

"What's wrong?" Tang Jie asked Chen Luoying.

Because of Jiang Shengnan's interference, the young couple reconciled again.

Chen Luoying hesitated for a moment and said everything.

"I'll just say there's something wrong with this chain, throw it away!" Tang Jie said and went to snatch Chen Luoying's necklace.

"Don't! It's hard for my mom to talk to you. Chen Luoying protected the necklace.

"What do you not explain, you are still wearing this chain, you are really not afraid of causing some dirty things?" Tang Jie said hurriedly.

"If you want to throw away this chain, you will offend my mother, do you really want a divorce?" Chen Luoying said.

Tang Jie was stunned.

"Don't mess with the necklace, wait until tomorrow Dr. Xu has persuaded my mother, let's throw the necklace away."

Chen Luoying said and put the necklace into the box.

Seeing that Chen Luoying was no longer wearing the necklace, Tang Jie also compromised temporarily, and said, "I can say okay, whether your mother agrees or disagrees tomorrow, I will throw away this chain." ”

"Okay, okay, I'm going to persuade my mom tomorrow, I don't want a divorce." Chen Luoying said and kissed Tang Jie.

"Why don't I go with you to persuade you?" Tang Jie said happily.

"Don't ...... My mother didn't have a good face when she saw you, didn't you help when you went? Chen Luoying said.

The lights went out, and the little couple fell asleep.

It was pitch black outside the window, and the street lamps gave off a little dim light, shining through the curtains and indoors, and faintly hearing the squeaking of rats.
