Chapter 21: Strange Gold and Jade
Ling Yu called Li Dafu out from the second floor before leaving: "I'm going out for a day or two, the porridge has been boiled in the stew pot, and it can be heated when needed." ”
Li Dafu repeatedly promised: "Boss Ling, don't worry, I will definitely help you take care of the store!" ”
Ling Yu was very relieved, there was nothing valuable in the store. The only thing that counts as a treasure is the saucepan with a charm on it, but it's a big deal to draw another one.
After explaining, Ling Yu and Xia Siqi drove the fiery sports car all the way to the neighboring city.
When it was almost evening, the two of them followed the navigation to a villa area and saw Zhang Haitao who was looking forward to it.
With a deep-set face and puffy bags under his eyes, Zhang Haitao, who is only in his forties, looks haggard.
"You're the ones sent by the Psychics?"
Ghost hunting fortune telling, like traditional Chinese medicine, is that the older you get, the more marketable, anyone who sees two young people in their twenties will be suspicious, and they can't do things firmly without hair.
"Mr. Zhang, rest assured, we are full members of the psychic society." Xia Siqi smiled lightly, just explain this kind of thing, the more you say, the more suspicious the subject becomes.
Sure enough, Zhang Haitao's attitude was much more enthusiastic: "The two of you have worked hard from afar, and you will wash the dust for the two of you when you understand the things here." ”
"I'm tired." Xia Siqi returned the salute with both hands in fists, but she had a bit of the demeanor of a female celestial master.
Ling Yu secretly complained disdainfully: After everything is done, then eat, is it a send-off! At the end of the day, it's still distrustful!
Under the guidance of Zhang Haitao, the two entered the wide villa area, and Ling Yu sighed as they walked on the spacious road: "Look at this greenery, I don't know that I thought I was in the park!" Tsk, rich people really enjoy it! ”
"If you like it, buy a set." Xia Siqi said casually.
"Uh~."
How does this sound like buying groceries at the wet market instead of buying a villa?
"No money!" Ling Yu's answer was a bachelor.
"Hehe, if you are willing to increase the supply of porridge and buy a villa, it will only be two or three months."
The words are not rude, if Ling Yu cancels the restriction and opens up the all-day supply, it will be easy to sell five or six hundred bowls a day.
But he is lazy, or he doesn't want to spend all his energy on doing business and making money, for him money is enough.
"Hey, the house was ransacked by thieves?" Ling Yu looked around, and suddenly saw a villa not far away, and it seemed that there were police officers taking notes on the owner.
"Alas, this is the third person in half a month who has been found to have broken bones all over his body and died." Zhang Haitao turned his head to look at it, and his brows furrowed.
"Oh~." Ling Yu touched his chin, his face playful.
"This is it." Zhang Haitao didn't seem to care about the dead man's affairs, and led the two to a three-story villa with an open door.
"Let's go, let's go in and have a look." Xia Siqi stabilized her mind and walked in first.
Ling Yu followed in with a relaxed face, Zhang Haitao stood outside the door and struggled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and followed closely.
The villa was very large, and under the guidance of Zhang Haitao, the three of them walked in the direction of the bedroom.
"Mr. Zhang, with all due respect, since you guessed that it was the problem of gold and jade, why did you still stay at home and not throw it away?" Ling Yu asked suspiciously.
Zhang Haitao's body couldn't help but tremble, and he said with horror in his voice: "I threw it away, but the next day it appeared strangely on the desk!" ”
"It's kind of funny that I'll come back on my own." Ling Yu touched his chin with a curious expression.
"You don't know, I was so scared when I saw the discarded gold inlaid jade appear on my desk! I didn't dare to live anymore, and I could only live in a hotel for a few days. Zhang Haitao chattered and complained.
After entering the bookstore, Xia Siqi took out a small compass and held it in the palm of his hand, rotated around the desk, raised his head for a moment, and said with a serious face: "Sure enough, there is a problem!" ”
Ling Yu also leaned over curiously, only to see a small object inlaid with gold and jade lying alone on the large desk.
The size and shape of the gold inlaid jade is the same as that of chopsticks, the color is broad and moist, and there are diamonds and horns from the appearance.
"What is this?" Ling Yu curiously stretched out his hand to pick it up and take a closer look.
"Don't move!" Xia Siqi hurriedly stopped him.
"Why? Do you know this thing? ”
"This is Yusai!"
"What is Jade Stopper?" Ling Yu didn't know much about jade antiques, and the only knowledge he had learned was from the "Treasure Appreciation" column on TV.
Xia Siqi's pretty face rose with a flush, and explained in a low voice: "Jade Saixing was born in the Han Dynasty, also known as the Nine Tricks Jade, which is used to seal the nine orifices of the dead, that is, the eyes, nostrils, ear holes, mouth, genitals and ...... Chrysanthemum! It is generally one of the privileges of a high-ranking official and nobleman after the death of a very human minister, and if a small official of insufficient grade is used without authorization after death, it is an overstep. ”
"There is a saying in ancient Taoism that if gold and jade are in the nine emptiness, the dead are immortal. This is consistent with the claim that jade clothes can immortalize corpses. In ancient China, there was an almost superstitious worship of jade, and it was always believed that jade could make the living peaceful and the dead immortal. ”
Ling Yu felt sick in his heart, and hurriedly withdrew his arm.
Zhang Haitao stood at the door and cautiously looked at it: "Yusai, it's impossible!" Master, I've also played with antiques for a few days, what is a jade stopper, I can still tell! ”
"Really?" Xia Siqi turned her head and looked at him with a smile.
Zhang Haitao was a little speechless for a while, he just couldn't see what this piece of gold inlaid jade was, and he thought the shape was unique, so he bought it.
Xia Siqi didn't embarrass him, and took out a flashlight and shone it on the jade plug to observe it carefully.
"There was a spell here?"
Zhang Haitao also looked surprised: "Spells? I don't know, I just got it out of the ground when I bought it, and I wiped it when I felt a little dirty. ”
Ling Yu pouted secretly when he heard this: Okay, it's still the stolen goods collected from the tomb robbers!
Immediately felt a chill, and after death, the soul had to be sealed and stuffed into the chrysanthemum, what a hatred it must be!
Zhang Haitao also knew that he was speechless, and quickly closed his mouth.
"I speculate that the Jade Seri should have sealed something, but the runes were wiped off to make the seal ineffective. Fortunately, the charm had penetrated into the jade and did not let the contents escape, otherwise it would have been as simple as hearing a voice. Mr. Zhang~ You're so lucky! ”
Xia Siqi teased, it seems that she is not completely indifferent to Zhang Haitao's attitude before.
So, never offend a woman.
Zhang Haitao was afraid for a while, and stammered: "Either ~ or you take this piece of jade away and give it to you......." ”
"I don't want it!" Xia Siqi looked disgusted and refused without hesitation.
Zhang Haitao set his eyes on Ling Yu again.
"Don't!" Ling Yu also refused.
scolded in my heart, knowing that there was something strange and giving it away, I wanted to make a disaster, and I was too bad a thing!
"Ah......, what then?" Zhang Haitao cried with a sad face, he was really afraid.
Xia Siqi was also very entangled, she really didn't want to touch something like Yusai. But it is not good to continue to stay in the house of the victim, in case the main thing is to have three advantages and two shortcomings, it will not be a bad reputation.
Tangled, should it be taken away, or can it only be taken away?
