Chapter 16: The Four Fierce Beasts

After I told Grandpa Ma about the school, I didn't know what Grandpa Ma was thinking, Grandpa Ma looked at me with a heavy face. Without saying a word to me, he reached into a bag in his arms.

Grandpa Ma took out a small dagger from his arms at this time.

I watched Grandpa Ma keep taking out things from his bag, and I couldn't help but think in my heart, what Grandpa Ma has in this bag, he can take out anything.

The dagger seems to be made of a kind of black iron, very delicate, the whole body is black, the dagger blade also looks very smooth, the end of the dagger handle is carved in a hollow way, it seems to be made of the pattern of the seven dragons playing with pearls, there is a crystal clear white jade bead inside, which is very conspicuous in the whole dagger. The rest of the parts are the same as the normal dagger.

Looking at the dagger that Grandpa Ma took out, he didn't know what his intentions were, and then looked at Grandpa Ma with puzzled eyes.

Grandpa Ma seemed to see my doubts, regained his smile, raised his head and said to me, "Ziyang, what do you think of this dagger?" ”

I don't know why Grandpa Ma asked me this, I stared at the dagger and said to Grandpa Ma: "The dagger is very exquisite, especially the pattern at the end is very finely carved, and the white jade beads are put in it, this dagger must be worth a lot of money, right?" ”

When Grandpa Ma heard my words, he couldn't stop nodding, but when he finally heard my sentence of 'worth a lot', he glared at me fiercely and said sarcastically: "He really deserves to be your grandfather's good grandson, what a virtuous man who sees money and opens his eyes." ”

I couldn't help blushing, stretched out my tongue and spit it out at Grandpa Ma, pursed my lips, and said unhappily, "Look at what you said." ”

Grandpa Ma held the dagger at this time, stared at my eyes and didn't speak, after a long time, I couldn't stand being stared at by Grandpa Ma, and then said, "Grandpa Ma, what do you mean?" Holding a dagger and staring at me without speaking, do you want to kill for money? I don't have any money, so you can take my life. ”

Grandpa Ma was amused by my sudden words, then picked up the handle of the dagger and knocked on the door of my head, and said helplessly: "It's really the Zhao family, the virtues are the same." Sharp teeth. ”

Hearing this, I ignored it, but asked, "Grandpa Ma, why did you say half of your words, and then stare at me and stop talking." ”

Grandpa Ma ignored my questioning and said directly, "I'm going to give you this dagger." ”

"What? You're going to ......." Hearing this, I couldn't help but grow my mouth in shock, and then stammered: "I heard me right, you have to give this to me." It's a valuable one, and it's important to you. I said I was embarrassed, and at the same time I reached for the dagger, eager to get it into my hand.

When Grandpa Ma saw me, he laughed, then handed me the dagger and said, "Here you are, you little rabbit, just when we meet for the first time, Grandpa Ma will give you a gift." ”

Hearing this, of course, I took the dagger into my arms, and then carefully looked at the dagger.

Grandpa Ma looked at me, and then said to me, "You watch first, I'll pour a glass of water, and then come over and tell you something." With that, he got up and left his seat.

"Grandpa Ma, I'd better go, I'll pour you water......."

"Okay, you better take a good look, you look at you like that, saying insincere things."

Grandpa Ma interrupted me and got up to pour water.

I was holding the dagger given by Grandpa Ma in my hand, and for some reason there was a sudden flow of heat in the palm of my hand, and I felt that the heat from the dagger was slowly filling my body, and my body slowly became hotter than usual, not that kind of hot and dry, but a very comfortable warm current, because this warm current swam in my body, and I seemed to feel more energetic than before.

Don't allow me to echo in this warm current, Grandpa Ma came over with a teacup at this time, sat down, looked at me and said with a smile: "How do you feel?" ”

"Grandpa Ma, what kind of dagger is this, I can feel a strong warmth when I hold it, and it is very comfortable."

"Huh? Do you want to know? Grandpa Ma looked at me playfully, and then asked me funny.

"Oh, Grandpa Ma, okay, don't sell it, okay?"

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to tease you." Grandpa Ma waved his hand and said.

Then Grandpa Ma told me about the origin of this dagger, it turned out that this dagger was a sharp weapon in their master's school, which was specially used to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, and to refresh and nourish the spirit.

It is said that this dagger is made of the ancient period in the hands of Dayu, in ancient times a sudden flood, Yu took the people to fight the flood, in this process, Dayu with the hand of the Yu to save thousands of people, since then they will Yu made the Yu as an artifact, and my grandfather they are the teacher, the Yu handed down the Yu made the magic weapon to drive away evil and avoid disasters, as for this thing because of the long time, so the specific is not clear, but the division has been handed down in this way.

But one thing is that this dagger was made by slashing off part of the dragon with lightning, and then it was made after burning the blue part of the flame for seven hundred and forty-nine days, and it was actually made after soaking it in the blood of a black dog that was more than twenty years old for forty-nine days, and it was also considered to be a more powerful magic weapon in their sect.

Before, I would never have believed all this, but after going through all those experiences of university life, I realized that some things really exist, but we can't solve them scientifically. All this is different from those deceitful gods in society.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder what kind of existence their division was, just like Grandpa Ma asked, but Grandpa Ma didn't say a word, just said: "What you should know will let you know, it all depends on fate." ”

Then I just shut up and didn't say anything.

Grandpa Ma no longer mentioned the matter of the master, changed the topic, and said to me: "Ziyang, according to what you said before, you should have encountered something unclean in college, right?" So what do you think now? ”

Hearing Grandpa Ma talk about this at this time, I didn't know how to answer, so I just said, "I believe it." ”

Seeing my serious look, Grandpa Ma nodded, and didn't say anything about my answer.

"It's all fate, I can't help you solve it, because you told me these things, so I can only give you the dagger, and then you will face it all by yourself, which may be your own cause and effect."

Hearing this, I also understood that Grandpa Ma meant that all this was fate, and I had to complete it myself.

"Thank you, Grandpa Ma!"

"Don't say that, I didn't do anything for you, when people get old, they start to spare their lives, and they won't be as impulsive as when they were young. I'm going to have a good drink with your grandfather when it's time for me. ”

After that, Grandpa Ma said to me, "Do you know what you do with the jade pendant?" And the pattern above, do you know what it is? ”

"I look like the four great beasts. As for the material, it's like bloodstone. ”

Grandpa Ma shook his head, took the jade pendant in his hand, rubbed it, and said: "This is not a bloodstone, but it is cultivated with the essence blood of your Zhao family, and when every baby boy in your Zhao family is 100 days old, seven drops of essence blood will be dripped from your body, and then this jade will be raised, and it will slowly look like bloodstone, and the pattern carved on the jade is the four fierce beasts, not the divine beasts that are now called." ”

Grandpa Ma began to explain to me according to the pattern.

It turns out that our Zhao family has a habit of dripping the child's essence blood into this stone when the child is 100 years old, in order to be able to recognize the relationship with this stone, and use the essence blood to support the four fierce beasts on the stone, as for why the fierce beast is used as the totem of the stone, this has an important relationship with the grandfather and their master, and I don't know from it, it is said that this stone is taken from the place where the four fierce beasts blend with each other, and is carved according to the shape of the stone, so the whole looks very integrated, In addition, I also admire the craftsman who carves the craftsman, who has a very clever grasp of the details of the patterns, and each pattern is lifelike, and every articulation is just right.

The jade pendant was previously supported by a special person in the division, but later due to the dissolution of the division, the jade pendant was assigned to the hands of the grandfather, in order to be able to connect with the jade pendant, so since my grandfather had to drip into the essence blood of our Zhao family in the jade pendant, in order to recognize the ancestor, and now the jade pendant has also been passed into my hands.

And this time it was also because I was going to live and study outside, leaving the protection of my parents and grandfather, so my father handed over the jade pendant to me when he left, also to protect me, but I didn't expect that the jade pendant really saved my life at a critical moment, all of this is life.

After Grandpa Ma explained everything to me, he glanced at the time, and there were still more than three hours before he could get home, and said to me: "Little rabbit, I have told you so much, I also have to rest for a while." ”

"Uh-huh, Grandpa Ma, you can rest for a while."

After that, Grandpa Ma suddenly adjusted his sitting posture, put his hands on his stomach, and then slowly adjusted his breathing, as if he had entered a state of concentration, seeing that Grandpa Ma was also resting, I sat quietly in my seat, staring at the window, thinking about everything that happened in the past six months, everything came too suddenly, and all this subverted my previous understanding of the world, and also made me have a new concept of the world and the things that exist, that is, existence is reasonable, Don't let your ignorance lead to the world of others.

I watched the train approach home little by little, and I slowly fell asleep......
