Chapter 39: Turtle Treasure
I saw that inside the pit, a huge thing was bowing its head to its ears, and the jade-colored light in its eyes flashed and seemed to be dying.
The body of that thing is round and green, and the diameter is about ten meters.
The body has a blue-green shell, but the claws are flattened and have sharp claws.
It looks like a turtle and a king.
Little Hanako was already amazed: "Why is this turtle so big?" ”
"This is the eighth king,"
I glanced at the contents of the pit: "Not a turtle. ”
"What's the difference?"
Hanako glanced into the pit again: "I see that they all look the same." ”
"It's different,"
I pointed to the thing: "The turtle shell is hard, and the king has a soft shell." And there are patterns on the back of the turtle, and there are no patterns on the back of the king. The ancients often used turtle shells to divinate and ask about hell, and the book said that the turtle can go to the underworld, and it can go to the underworld to ask things instead of people, and bring back the results of the questioning. But Wang Ba is generally used for eating. ”
When I was a child, there was an old man next to our family who sold medicine on the street all the year round and worked as a barefoot doctor.
He himself also loves to pour medicinal herbs, eat something like ginseng stewed chicken poria stewed wild duck or something. However, their family is very poor and cannot often satisfy their gluttonous appetite.
There are a few eggs in the house, which are all collected by his wife and sold at the market.
He was not allowed to take eggs and stew medicine.
He was not convinced, and he took advantage of the loophole to get back two kings out of nowhere, with flat shells in the color of the soil. For fear that his wife would come back and find out, he immediately boiled the pot of boiling water, threw the king eight alive, scalded it and cooked it, and didn't peel it off.
Later, the leftover Wang Ba shell was buried under the grapefruit tree, and was found by his wife when he went to pour grass ashes, and the two quarreled and even fought.
This time, the reason is not stewed herbs.
His wife said that Wang Ba was a spiritual thing that could not be eaten, and the barefoot doctor scolded his wife for believing in gods and ghosts.
The two fought for this, smashed all the pots and pans, and almost broke up.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute,"
Xiao Huazi was puzzled when she heard this: "How can this king be considered a spiritual thing?" It's almost the same that the turtle has a spirit, didn't it just now say that the turtle can go to the yin and ask things? What kind of disciple is Wang Baling? ”
I said, "The turtle shell is used for divination, but Wang Ba is different. Don't you know that Wang Ba is also called a turtle, and there is something in its body, called a turtle treasure. ”
Turtle treasure?
The little Hanako listened thoughtfully, and I guess when he just wanted to ask what a turtle treasure is, he simply told him what a turtle treasure is.
It is a kind of spiritual object in the legend, and the gold, silver, jewelry, and antique cultural relics in the underground are all like a hole
In the early Qing Dynasty, when Shunzhi was the master, there was a fan in Sichuan, named Zhang Baonan. His mother likes to eat turtles.
One day, his chef happened to get a giant turtle in the Nanguan vegetable market, so he rushed back and sorted it out next to the kitchen patio pool, ready to kill and make soup for Mrs. Tai.
As soon as he cut off the head of the turtle, he suddenly saw a child several inches long, crawling out of the bloody turtle's neck and running around the turtle.
The cook was terrified and collapsed on the edge of the pool.
The crowd woke him up, and then saw that the villain was gone.
So he cut the turtle and saw that the little man was still in the belly of the turtle, but he was dead.
This little man looks like a Hui person, wearing a yellow hat, blue pleated clothes, a red belt, black boots under his feet, his face is like jade, and his hands and feet are not lacking.
A private school teacher surnamed Cen heard about this strange thing on the street and hurried to the Fan Si Mansion.
He sighed and said to Mrs. Tai and the cook, "This is a turtle treasure, catch it alive, cut it off and put it in the flesh, and drink human blood to survive." If there is this treasure on the human arm, the gold, silver, jewelry, and antique cultural relics on the ground are all like holes. When the blood of the people is drunk by it, and the people are about to die, and the children and grandchildren cut off their arms to accept it, they can be rich and noble in the world. ”
The chef's face turned blue when he realized it, and every time he thought of it, he slapped himself in the big ear. Mrs. Tai didn't think so, she comforted: You are making money with your life! People are willing to make money with their lives, why bother raising turtles?
The chef finally didn't realize it, and he died of depression.
Xiao called Huazi suddenly realized: "It turns out that there is a villain in the belly of this king, and whoever raises the villain on his body and worships the villain to drink flesh and blood can see where the treasures in the world are buried." ”
As he was talking, he heard a cry.
The cry was thin, but deep, like the cry of a newborn baby trying to feed.
Hanako and I were startled, and when we looked down, we saw a little man with thin hands and feet, white and tender, crawling out of the mouth of the turtle, crying as we crawled.
The little man wears a yellow hat and a zombie-like outfit, exactly like the one described in the book.
"It's a turtle treasure!"
Xiaoxiaohuazi yelled and was about to rush into the pit.
I grabbed him: "What are you doing?" ”
"Take the turtle treasure!"
Xiao Huazi pointed to the little thing in the pit that was still crying: "This big turtle is still alive, but the turtle treasure crawled out and cried for no reason." It is obvious that the turtle is dying at the end of its life. It originally lived on the essence and blood in the body of the turtle, but did he still live when the turtle died? It cries to itself! I'm going to bring it up and put it in our hands. ”
As soon as I heard it, I firmly objected: "Are you crazy? ”
"You think that the turtle is really the same as what is written in the book, cutting off the arm and nourishing it with flesh and blood. When this body is weak, take out the turtle treasure and put it in the body of the children and grandchildren, so that it will be passed down from generation to generation, and the world will be rich? ”
Xiao Hanako looked puzzled: "What is the truth of the facts?" ”
"The truth is,"
I remembered that in the book that the master gave me, in addition to the record of the turtle treasure, there were also the notes attached to the ancestors in the past: the turtle treasure is good at eating essence and blood, so it parasitizes the body of the turtle. If a man is in his arm, he shall die within twenty years.
"In other words, the turtle treasure sucks people's essence and blood, and can quickly consume a person's primordial spirit. Whoever puts the turtle treasure in the body to suck blood is equivalent to using its lifespan to support it. The book says that the longest life is not more than 20 years, in fact, those who have owned turtle treasure in the world usually die after two or three years, which shows the degree of turtle treasure blood sucking. Are you the birthday boy hanging himself - are you impatient? ”
Xiao Hanako looked aggrieved: "Am I not for you?" I know that you and the old man are specifically looking for treasures, and the green jade soul bottle last time was a treasure, and the bottle was also a treasure. Now that the treasure in the bottle is gone, if you have a turtle treasure, will you soon be able to know where the contents of the soul bottle are? What do you need to ask for Miss Sheng when the time comes? Watching the old man running around every day for the baby in the bottle, you can't bear it, right? With such a good thing as a turtle treasure, why bother with it? ”
When I heard it, I was right: "But it's not a good thing, it's a bane." ”
In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a county order, inadvertently got a big turtle, cut open its belly treasure in the thigh, since then the world's treasures are like a fire, where there are antiquities and where there are jewels, he can see clearly.
As a result, he also started digging graves and soon accumulated a lot of money.
Just when he used the money obtained by relying on the turtle treasure to pave the way for his ascension step by step, and his career was in full swing, he suddenly kicked his legs and went to the west.
What's going on?
It turned out that he was lustful by nature, and took seven or eight concubines and gave birth to more than a dozen sons.
There is a son who is not favored, wondering how his father became so rich all of a sudden, so he secretly observes, and finally discovers the secret on his thigh when he is taking a bath in the county order.
The son also understood that his father was looking at a quasi-son because of the turtle treasure and where there was a treasure.
So he found the county order and threatened him to give him the turtle treasure.
This is similar to the Nine Dragons in the Qing Dynasty, there are so many sons, and there is only one throne. The county order is the same, there are so many sons, and there is only one turtle treasure.
Although he will pass on the turtle treasure after his death, it is not necessarily to whom he will pass it on.
Besides, he is still the most unfavored one - his mother was originally a servant in charge of sprinkling and sweeping in the house, and has been serving the old lady. Because she was born ugly, she was not welcomed, but she was loyal, and the old lady liked it, so she forcibly gave her to the county order as a concubine.
At that time, although arranged marriages had always been popular, and the words of the parents were matchmakers, the county order already had a few beautiful concubines, and some of them were still famous actors in the troupe.
But the county order didn't dare to disobey the old lady's wishes, so he could only endure the nausea and have a round with her, and was named the sixth aunt, but he never touched her again.
Who knows that these six aunts are really quite six.
On the night of the candle in the cave room, she was pregnant, and gave birth to a son after being pregnant in October.
Originally, it was a great joy to give birth to a son in ancient times, but the county order had a son, and he didn't care much about the son born to this ugly woman, and even hated it a little.
The county magistrate felt that when he saw him, he would remember that he had once shared a bed with an ugly girl and gave birth to such a child. Therefore, the disgust for this son is even greater.
It is precisely because of this that his son understands that the county order will never pass on the turtle treasure to himself after a hundred years, and if he wants to get the turtle treasure, he can only rob it.
The county magistrate naturally would not be threatened by his son, and scolded him for being a brute, saying that even if he threw the turtle treasure out, he would not give him this unfilial son, who made him disgusting.
These words struck his son's sore spot, and he was stabbed and the county order was issued.
After that, the son snatched the turtle treasure, dug a hole in his hand and put the turtle treasure on it, only to hear a "zizizizi" bloodsucking sound, and the turtle treasure drilled into his son's body along the hole.
The son of the county commander was overjoyed, buried the body of the county commander and fled.
Later, he married a wife and had children in a place and lived a prosperous life.
"Isn't that good?"
Xiao called Hanako and said, "You see that people have turtle treasures, although they take it unjustly, right?" But it's also a good life, isn't it? ”
I gave him a blank look: "I haven't finished yet, is there such a good thing in the world?" That bastard son killed his father and took the treasure, and besides, it was still a turtle treasure that sucked people's essence and blood, what good end could it have? ”
"Hey! And what about later? ”
The little Hanako became interested when she heard it: "What happened later?" ”
