009 The origin of ancient jade

When I woke up in bed the next day, I was looking back on the past as if I was a world away. I don't know if it's because I'm tired, but I woke up in the evening.

Still waking up hungry.

In a daze, he smelled the aroma of food, and walked to the hall, where the table was full of sumptuous meals, covered with a hood, and it was obvious that it had been cooked for a long time.

"Are you awake? It's time to eat. The veiled woman went over to open the meal, covered her mouth and smiled: "The meal has already been prepared, and your second uncle saw that you were tired and sleeping like a pig, so he didn't wake you up." ”

The veiled woman is the second uncle's wife, named Yan Rong, I also saw her when I was a child, but she was not veiled at that time, and she was a very beautiful girl. I only remember that her eyes are very amorous and beautiful, and after more than ten years, although I can't see her face, those beautiful eyes have never changed.

I was stunned, half embarrassed and half moved to call the second aunt.

In the past, the rule at home was like this, you have to wait for everyone to have a meal. Looking at the food on this table, it can be seen that their husband and wife really regard me as family.

After a full meal, my second uncle and I sat in the courtyard to cool off.

The moon hung in the sky like a big light bulb, covering a few date trees in the yard.

There is a stone table under the tree, and there is a carved chessboard on the table. The old one was unseated, and there were tiny green moss eyebrow marks on it.

When I was young, I felt that there were many people in my family and crowded, and I felt that it was very disappointing to have no place to play.

I remember one time, my grandfather used to play chess with the old people in the village, and I went up to the tree to pick dates, and the dates fell down and disrupted his chess pieces. He didn't get angry, he just laughed and scolded the little rabbit cub, be careful, don't fall. I grimaced at him and went on picking my dates.

Suddenly, one day, the chessboard and stone tables were moss, the yard became empty, and dates were hanging all over the trees, and I was in no mood to pick them.

"Give." The second uncle handed me a cigarette.

I didn't actually know how to smoke, but I still took it, and I choked after a few puffs, which made my second uncle laugh.

"You, it's really disrespectful to the old, don't teach the good ones, but teach Lu Ming to smoke." Yan Rong moved a stool over and sat next to the second uncle.

The second uncle smiled: "Even if I don't teach now, he will smoke it in the future." Man. ”

I said, Second Uncle, will you stay in the future?

No matter what grievances the previous generation had, I still hope that they will stay.

The second uncle spat out a cigarette and said, I'll talk about this later, but there is a more important thing in front of me. Although that old way was beaten away by me, but during this time, he will definitely make a comeback, and I may not be able to protect you at that time, according to me, you should go out first to avoid the limelight.

I don't understand, why did Lao Dao have to win his grandfather's piece of ancient jade, is it just to make a pair? Or is there any secret to the Yin and Yang Pisces Jade?

The second uncle looked at Yan Rong, the latter nodded, Lu Ming has grown up, and it is time for him to know these things.

Second Uncle Zhengse said, Lu Ming, what I say to you now must not be leaked, otherwise it will cause death. Remember, remember.

I nodded emphatically.

"Do you know that in the last century, a Pisces jade pendant was unearthed in Lop Nur in my country?" The second uncle said suddenly.

It is rumored that in 1956, a large number of mirror people appeared in Xinjiang, and these mirror people were no different from the ontology, and even they couldn't tell who was the mirror person. According to rough statistics, the number of these mirror figures has reached 300,000, and the one who created these mirror figures is the legendary Pisces Jade Pendant, which can replicate life. In the end, in order to solve the 300,000 mirror people in Xinjiang, these people were concentrated in the nuclear test site, and finally all of them were eliminated with an atomic bomb.

It's hard to tell whether this is true or false, and it's mostly a rumor. But it spread widely, and I heard some of it.

My eyes widened, "Second uncle, you...... Are you saying that the ancient jade in my house is actually one of the Pisces Jade Perry? ”

The second uncle puffed a puff of smoke on my face, "That's not so exaggerated......

I rolled my eyes, "You asked yourself, it's hard to blame me for thinking so." Just say it. ”

The second uncle took another puff of cigarette, and then said slowly.

It is said that when my grandfather Lu Zongnan first saw this piece of ancient jade, he was still an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy. At that time, it was the Republic of China period, and the world was not good, so my grandfather relied on farming and casual labor to make a living. One day, after doing farm work, he was washing his feet by the river, and suddenly heard that the local rich squire was going to open the game to borrow his life, and he felt very fresh, so he rushed to see the excitement.

The person who did it was the well-known Qingyunguan Cai Zhenren, Lu Zongnan went to the back, and the surroundings were crowded with people watching the excitement, he relied on his tall stature, and he squeezed up, only to see the incense table in front of the hall, and the incense burner came out of the green smoke repeatedly. The old squire looked sick, and his fat-headed and big-eared son Huang Bao knelt in front of Cai Zhenren.

I saw Cai Zhenren recite a mantra, and then asked the old squire, "Huang Yuanwai, are you sincere in borrowing life?" ”

The old squire was angry: "Sincerity, sincerity." ”

Cai Zhenren asked his son again: "Are you sincere in your life?" ”

The son wept sincerely: "My father gave me flesh and blood, raised me as an adult, I am willing to lend him 20 years of life, may my father live a long life and be healthy!" ”

Cai Zhenren nodded, then wrote with a cinnabar pen on the yellow table paper, and then picked up the yellow paper with a peach wood sword, chanting words in his mouth and dancing with his hands.

Lu Zongnan was confused, in his impression, this Huang Bao is too lazy to do, he hasn't done a good thing for nine hundred years, why did he turn dead today, so filial? Would you rather borrow 20 years of life to give your seriously ill father?

An old man next to him said with a smile, so you are still young, Huang Yuanwai's precious son, the famous iron rooster is not plucked, and the six relatives do not recognize him, it is difficult to borrow a penny from him, let alone borrow a life. But who knows if there is such a thing, just set up a scene to do a trick and fight for the reputation of a filial son.

Lu Zongnan listened and secretly scolded this son for hypocrisy, but it was not the turn of a poor peasant like him to take care of the affairs of this rich man, so he was ready to 'go home'. Suddenly, I saw an old Taoist priest wearing a robe walk out of the crowd.

The so-called garment is worn by the wandering Taoist priests in the old days, with a large placket, sewn with coarse cloth, quite simple. This old way also gave Lu Zongnan a strange feeling, feeling that he was already very old, but there were no traces of time on his appearance.

"If you are really filial, why do you need to act in front of others? It is ridiculous and ridiculous to deceive the world and steal fame. ”

Huang Bao was furious, just say it or not, but this old monk still has to say it in public, isn't that slapping him Huang Bao's face, and immediately let his subordinates catch this old way.

This old Taoist is surprisingly calm, saying that you want to borrow life sincerely, I still admire you, what kind of hero is he who is bullying people now.

Although the surrounding people didn't dare to offend Huang Bao, they still had the courage to talk about it for a while.

Huang Bao's face couldn't hold back, and he grabbed the old monk and said angrily: "How do you know that I am not sincere in borrowing life?" ”

Lao Dao smiled: "If you are sincere in borrowing life, I have a way, I don't know if you have the courage to try." ”

I saw the old Taoist priest take out two pieces of ancient jade from his arms, shaped like yin and yang double fish, and together they are a round Taiji diagram.

The old Taoist priest touched his beard and said with a smile, one yin and one yang are the way, and under certain circumstances, yin and yang can be reversed. As long as the blood of the two is dripped into the 'fish eye' position in the Pisces Ancient Jade, the yang life of the two can be reversed, and once reversed, it is irreversible. It's equivalent to exchanging your own life for your father's life, do you want to think about it?

Huang Bao thought in his heart, this borrowing longevity was originally a fictitious thing, but he didn't believe that this old monk really had a way to borrow longevity, first, there was an excuse to teach the old monk, and secondly, he could block everyone's mouth, so he agreed.

The old Taoist priest immediately pricked the fingers of the two with a needle, and the blood dripped into the Pisces ancient jade, and after a while, the blood droplets disappeared strangely, and the ancient jade became moist, and finally returned to its original state.

Huang Yuanwai was already an old man in his sixties and seventies, and when he was seriously ill, he described himself as withered and would choke at any time. But now his eyes are brighter, his wrinkles are less, and even his beard is a little black. Everyone couldn't help but be amazed, Huang Bao saw that his father was relieved, his face turned blue with fright, and he hurriedly knelt down and begged Lao Dao to bring his Yangshou back.

Lao Dao sighed, I knew this earlier, why be hypocritical and be a filial son just now. It's a pity, Yangshou reversal can only be used once, and the poor road can't help you. After saying that, Huang Bao almost didn't collapse to the ground, and comforted himself again, it would be fine, but it was just a coincidence.

Just when Lao Dao turned to leave, two pairs of eyes were already staring at him, one was Lu Zongnan and the other was Cai Zhenren......
