Chapter 158: Obtaining the Treasure
Since sending Shen Jiangtao to the hotel, Xiao Qiang and his younger brother Xiao Yong have been doing his mother's ideological work, trying to make his mother believe in this matter, and at the same time hoping to ask about the origin of the ancient lamp.
"Yes, Mom, if you don't believe it, or your son will take out the ancient lamp again, let's give it a try, if it doesn't work, then we will bury the ancient lamp in it forever, respect the will of the ancestors, and don't let the ancient lamp appear in the world, so it's okay, right?"
Xiao Yong echoed his brother's words and persuaded his mother.
"Mom, don't be tough, you don't want us to be like Dad, and we will die of insomnia in the end, right?" Xiao Qiang's words were a bit heavy, but the old man suddenly froze, and then, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of the old man's eyes.
She clearly remembered how her husband was suffering when he died, and if her two sons really had to suffer like their husbands, then they would have created more karma, and even if they died, they would not forgive themselves.
After thinking about it for a long time, she gritted her teeth and simply asked her sons to try again, if it was really the cause of the ancient lamp, it could only be God who let it appear.
The old man nodded.
Then, Xiao Qiang hurriedly went to the ground, took out the ancient lamp, and put it on the cabinet in the north.
After less than ten minutes, the three of them were very tired and intensely sleepy, and at the same time, when they closed their eyes and prepared for bed, the phenomenon of candlelight miraculously disappeared.
The old man sighed a little, didn't ask much, and fell asleep by himself.
In fact, just at the moment when she was sleepy, she already understood that the feng shui master was not a liar, and compared to her son's health, what could even the ancestral teachings be?
The next morning, Shen Jiangtao barely fell asleep at this time.
Wow!
Not long after falling asleep, he heard several powerful knocks on the door, and Shen Jiangtao put on his slippers and walked down the ground in a daze, opening the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xiao Qiang's face excited, and at the same time he was holding a delicate wooden box in his hand.
After seeing Shen Jiangtao, he hurriedly said excitedly: "Little brother, I convinced my mother that I took out the ancient lantern, thank you so much for this matter." ”
As he spoke, he opened the wooden box in his hand and showed it to Shen Jiangtao.
Shen Jiangtao's eyes widened, and he hurriedly grabbed the ancient lamp, took a look inside, and found that the wick was still there, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
From the moment Xiao Qiang opened the box just now, it didn't matter which one was really a turtle lantern in Shen Jiangtao's heart, because he could bring back these two wicks, and it was a big deal to bring them to star fruit together.
Shen Jiangtao pondered for a moment, and his melancholy face suddenly became happy, but soon, he said with some concern: "Mr. Xiao, if I heard it correctly yesterday, the old man said that this is a family heirloom, and if you take it out, will it make the old man feel ......?"
didn't wait for Shen Jiangtao to finish speaking, I saw Xiao Qiang smile and said: "Little brother, although my mother's temperament is very strong, she is still very reasonable, she knows which one is heavy and which is light, and after understanding that it is my family's insomnia caused by this ancient lamp, she did not stop it, compared to Zu Xun, life is the most precious, and it is she who wants me to give you this ancient lamp in order to repay." ”
Shen Jiangtao was stunned for a moment, then frowned, pointed at himself and asked, "Give it to me?" ”
Xiao Qiang smiled: "Little brother don't have to hide it, yesterday when you heard the turtle lantern, I could feel your changes, this turtle lantern is in this area, everyone has only heard of it but has not seen it, many bosses want to get it, you want to get it, it is also human nature, besides, this ancient lamp is owned by you, accept it." As he spoke, he closed the lid of the box in his hand and sent it to Shen Jiangtao.
Shen Jiangtao hurriedly pushed it back, and said at the same time: "Oh no, no, no, Mr. Xiao, you misunderstood, the reason why I want to find the turtle lantern is to use this wick to save the life of a friend of mine, so I have to come here, this lamp is really valuable, I really can't afford it, you just need to promise to give me a light wick." ”
Shen Jiangtao is not a person who is greedy for money and treasures, and it is really difficult to accept such a valuable thing.
Xiao Qiang frowned, looked at Shen Jiangtao for a long time, and gradually showed admiration in his eyes: "There are not many people with a bottom line like you in society now, and this ancient lamp should be given to you." ”
As soon as he heard this, Shen Jiangtao was about to refuse again, but Xiao Qiang grabbed the words and said, "You listen to me first." ”
"You also know that the turtle Krathong is a legendary treasure in this region, people who know this thing all kinds of legends are far-fetched to this lamp, now the turtle Krathong came out, I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause, I just want to live an ordinary life, but I don't want to cause too much trouble, and this is also my mother's order, if my mother knows that I didn't give you the lamp, then in her mind, I am really unfilial, besides, I can't do this."
Under Xiao Qiang's strong persuasion, Shen Jiangtao could only reluctantly accept this turtle lantern.
However, in order to know whether this ancient lamp is really a turtle lantern, Shen Jiangtao then asked some questions about the origin of this lamp.
From Xiao Qiang's mouth, he learned that according to his old mother, this turtle water lantern originally had a name called the fish lantern, which is said to be the origin of a turtle in this area in ancient times.
The ancient turtle people are called fish hunters by foreigners, because the ancient turtle people can dive in the water like fish.
Later, the Yuyu people gradually immigrated to this area in the lower reaches of the turtle water branch and changed their names to the turtle people. The turtle people use the three-legged turtle as a totem.
In ancient times, the place where Woga Village and Dian Meng Village are located was two large lakes connected in the flood season, which was called the Southwest Sea in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
The ancient turtle people once lived around the lake.
It will make a magical lamp that can be illuminated underwater, and although this lamp is a lamp, it is a water spirit.
The ancestor of the Xiao family used to be a salt and tea seller of this generation, because he learned about this treasure, he tried his best to replace it with another ancient lamp from Dianmeng Village, and then deceived it, and hid it in his old house.
Hearing such an explanation, all the doubts in Shen Jiangtao's heart were dissolved, the ins and outs were clear, looking at Xiao Qiang, who was ashamed, Shen Jiangtao persuaded him: Treasures obtained by improper means will definitely be eaten back, but those are all unethical things of the ancestors, and as long as the younger generations do more good deeds, they will change.
Shen Jiangtao carefully put away the turtle lantern, it was really an unexpected surprise, he was originally here to borrow a wick, and by chance he got such a treasure.
After cleaning up, Shen Jiangtao returned to Qing'an City to treat star fruit.
"Smack!"
A hurried knock on the door sounded, and Shen Jiangtao couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that something had changed?
