Chapter 14: The Pearl of the Night
"Big brother, come and see! What's on this coffin board! The second child's voice seemed to ignite everyone's hope, not only the boss, but also several other people gathered around the coffin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The coffin was much larger than the ordinary one it looked, measuring more than 3 meters in length alone, and it was pitch black without any additional decorations. However, there seems to be something attached to the lid of the coffin.
"These things seem to be talismans used by Taoist priests." Seeing these things on the coffin, the sixth child was the first to say his opinion.
"Shit, this thing is called Buddha stickers! Haven't you read Journey to the West, if the Buddha pressed Sun Monkey when he posted this thing on Wuzhi Mountain, you look at the words on it, it's all Sanskrit! I don't know if it's intentional or not, as soon as the fat sixth finished speaking, the second child immediately retorted.
"Second child, do you still know Sanskrit? What's written on this? ”
"Hehe, big brother, I don't understand, I just look like it, guess." As soon as the second child said this, the sixth child couldn't help but roll his eyes, and thought in his heart: It turns out that you don't fucking know, and you are still pretending to be a big-tailed wolf here, you know that it is aimed at me, and who will pay attention to you after I get the money!
The boss didn't speak again, but looked at the coffin again, there are a total of nine such Buddha stickers! Reaching out and touching one of them, the boss felt that there seemed to be something round under the post, and without thinking too much, the boss tore one of them off directly.
"Big brother, don't dare to tear it indiscriminately, there may be something down here, this thing may be used to suppress evil spirits! Eldest brother... The sixth child was startled by the boss's actions, and was about to pick up the post and re-paste it, but found that the boss's eyes suddenly straightened. The sixth child suddenly looked at the top of the coffin, and the Buddha sticker turned out to be...
"It's so big, it's so beautiful!"
"This, what kind of thing is this, why is it so pretty!"
"This... This is the pearl of the night! This, that's too big! "The second child still has more knowledge in the end, and he can see at a glance that this thing in front of him, which is much bigger than a goose egg, is a priceless treasure - the pearl of the night!
The pearl of the night, in ancient times, was also called "with the pearl", "hanging pearl", "weeping thorn", "bright moon pearl", according to legend, in the ancient Xishuangbanna oasis, people lived a rich life, multiplication. But because of this, the devil was jealous and launched a cruel war, and since then the homes of the Dai people living here have been destroyed, the light has disappeared, and they have fallen into boundless darkness. A resourceful hero leads the townsfolk to fight their way to the enemy and finally eradicate the demon. The hero snatched a night pearl from the devil's throat and hung the night pearl on a tall coconut tree, and the night pearl emitted a thousand feet of light, illuminating the bamboo building, illuminating the village and fields, and the light will remain in the world forever.
Therefore, the Night Pearl has been regarded as a treasure since ancient times. Legend has it that when the Empress Dowager Cixi was buried, she had a night pearl in her mouth, and the night pearl was divided into two pieces, and when closed, it was a round ball, which was transparent and lightless, and when it was closed, it revealed a green cold light, and the hair could be seen within a hundred steps at night, and it could also make the corpse not melt. When the warlord Sun Dianying commanded the army to steal the burial goods of the Qing Dongling, he first took away the jade watermelon, the Chinese cabbage, the jade lotus, the coral tree and other treasures around Cixi's body, and then carried Cixi's body out, grabbed the dragon robe, tore off the underwear, took off the shoes and socks, and searched for the jewelry around the body. Unexpectedly, Cixi's corpse turned out to be like a living person, not only did it not turn black or blue, but even retained some elasticity. It wasn't until Sun Dianying pried Cixi's teeth open and took away the rare pearl in his mouth that Cixi's body was gradually oxidized. And the night pearl weighing four taels and two cents and seven cents is worth nearly 10.8 million taels of silver, and if you count it today, it has already been worth hundreds of millions.
And the weight of this night pearl in front of him is definitely not lighter than Cixi's, and it looks gentle and round, it is definitely a priceless treasure! At this time, everyone in the chamber was silent, except for a thick gasp.
The boss hurriedly took out a knife and wanted to pry the night pearl out of the coffin board, but he was afraid of hurting this treasure, so he was very careful, but he didn't expect that the night pearl seemed to be just put on, and it naturally fell off without any effort. The boss grabbed it in his hand, his eyes motionless, and the others also focused their greedy eyes on it.
"Big brother, let the brothers see this good baby." The sixth man's hand involuntarily stretched out to the night pearl, who would have thought that the boss suddenly put the knife in his hand across his neck, and said with a hideous face: "You dare to move and try, Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”
The sixth child, who was originally obsessed with the baby, was immediately frightened and peed out, crying: "Big brother, big brother, don't kill me, don't kill me, I don't watch it, don't watch it!" ”
But the second, fourth, and fifth children involuntarily surrounded them at this time: "Big brother, what do you mean?" Didn't you say before that everyone would share things together, why are you ready to change your hexagram? "Obviously, the boss's move is very unfriendly to the three of them, after all, things are obtained by everyone together, and the boss's current appearance is obviously like a monopoly.
After all, the boss is not stupid, and he knows that he is weak after all, so he responded: "Of course everyone shares, but this place was discovered by me and the second child, and it should be kept by me and the second child." And this night pearl was also the first to be discovered by me, so for the time being, it is a fat man who does not follow the rules, and I just remind him! As he spoke, he put down the knife that was hanging around the neck of the sixth child. When the other three looked like this, it was not easy to push the boss too hard, as long as everyone could get the money, it didn't make much difference who kept it.
The sixth child, who picked up a life, hurriedly lay on the coffin and gasped for breath, but the hand on the coffin board felt that there seemed to be something underneath, or a Buddha sticker? What could be down here? Don't.....
As the sixth child took off another Buddha sticker, the second night pearl appeared, and the size was exactly the same as the first one. This discovery naturally can't hide from everyone present, the fourth and fifth hurriedly ran over to uncover the rest of the Buddha stickers, one, two, three... Counting the previous two, there are nine identical night pearls hidden under the nine Buddha stickers! This is simply rare in the world.
The five men stood there stupidly for nearly a minute before cheers erupted.
"Rich! Hahaha! ”
"It's really sent this time, I don't have to worry about food and clothing for the past few lifetimes, hahahaha!"
This harvest is absolutely amazing, after priing off all the night pearls, according to the previous agreement, the eldest and the second took two each, the other three took one each, and left one for the third child who was guarding outside, and there was even one more after such a division.
"This one goes out and first changes it to money, and then divides it equally. As long as we have these in hand, we will not have to worry about it in this life. "One in your hand can make these people spend three lifetimes can't spend, so everyone naturally put aside the idea of scrambling for the time being, and just want to go out quickly to change some money and live a happy life.
"Boss, do you want to put this coffin... But the second guy still seems to be a little dissatisfied, and he actually paid attention to the inside of the coffin, but it is understandable, after all, the things outside the coffin are priceless, and the things inside the coffin can be worse.
However, the boss was already satisfied at this time, and he didn't know why the previous sentence always lingered in his heart, which made him a little uneasy, so he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go out.
But sometimes you don't go to him for this kind of thing, but he comes to you, and just as the five of them are about to leave, there is a noise in the coffin!
