Chapter 32 Chapter 0032 Old Peach Wood Talisman
"There's still this!"
Seeing that he was about to reach the end of the street, Yue Jin's eyes fell on a stall selling old furniture.
This stall is really dilapidated, there are a lot of old things, and each one doesn't look very good. It looked oily, and no one even stopped in front of the stall.
"Boss, how do you sell this?"
Walking to the front of the stall, Yue Jin squatted down and picked up a statue of Guan Gong about fifty centimeters tall with his hand. This Guan Gong statue is just like those furniture, it is dirty and greasy.
"Little brother really has an eye! This Guan Gong statue has been handed down from our ancestors. It was given by the palace when Guan Gong was canonized, and it must have been at least 800 years by now! ”
The stall owner saw Yue Jin squatting down, and immediately said.
"Guan Gong is a god who was canonized in the Qianlong era, less than three hundred years ago!"
Yue Jin couldn't hold back his laughter, and immediately replied.
"Little brother, you are really proficient in history, then three hundred years!" The stall owner didn't argue, and immediately replied.
"You're so good at talking!"
Yue Jin smiled again. Because he was fooling the stall owner just now, in fact, Guan Gong entered the temple in the Sui Dynasty and became the protector god. In the Tang Dynasty, it began to be sacrificed. In the Qianlong period, his position was pulled to the highest point, and he was called the two sages of civil and military affairs along with Confucius.
"Even if you are three hundred years, one dollar a year, a total of three hundred yuan, okay!"
Then, Yue Jin began to bargain again. This Guan Gong statue is only 50 years at most. However, it is enough for my own use. If it was a little older, he really wouldn't dare to use it.
"How can I get a dollar a year? At least 100 yuan, a total of 30,000 yuan! The stall owner was anxious and counteroffered.
"Then you can keep it slowly!"
Yue Jin stood up suddenly, turned around and was about to leave.
"Ten dollars a year is fine!" Seeing that Yue Jin was leaving, the stall owner shouted.
He collected all these things from the countryside, and when he collected them, they were all by the pound. Finally found a buyer, how could he just let it go.
"Two pieces!"
Yue Jin gestured out two fingers.
"At least five dollars!"
The stall owner didn't let in at all and began to bargain.
After several disputes, Yue Jin finally bought this Guan Gong statue for 1,000 yuan.
"Where's this?"
Then, Yue Jincai pointed to two wooden boards that had already shown the color of sauce. There is a faint engraved pattern on it, but it is not very clear.
"This one is different from this Guan Gong statue. It must have a history of at least 1,000 years, which was given by my ancestor Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, when he was an official in the Tang Dynasty! The stall owner immediately said again.
This is a common problem of the stall builders in this area of the antique street, even if you pick up a brick from the ground, it is handed down from his ancestors. And there's definitely a whole bunch of stories behind it.
"One hundred!" Yue Jin didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he directly took out another pink soft girl coin.
"No, at least a thousand dollars!"
The stall owner immediately shook his head again.
bargained again, and finally Yue Jin got the two planks for three hundred yuan, and then picked up the statue of Guan Gong and left with Ma Yan.
"Yue Jin, what are these things, is it the lightning strike peach wood you said?" Ma Yan looked at Yue Jin's smiling look and hurriedly asked.
"It's just an ordinary peachwood, but it's been a long time!"
Yue Jin explained, and at the same time, he gestured to Ma Yan to take the two planks over, and then said, "Don't look at these two planks as inconspicuous, but they have at least a history of about fifty years. This is the peach symbol, which is the first day of thousands of households, always replacing the new peach with the old one, the peach symbol! ”
"This is engraved with Shen Tu and Yu Lei, just like the door gods Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong, which can ward off ghosts and exorcise evil spirits. If you use them to make magic weapons, those female ghosts won't be a problem at all! ”
"Why does Momoki keep away ghosts?"
Listening to Yue Jin's explanation, Ma Yan asked strangely. She'd always heard that Momoki could ward off ghosts, but she really didn't know how it worked.
Generally speaking, there are several explanations. The first is because after the death of Kuafu, the staff in his hand turned into a peach forest, and the peach tree has a god, so it can avoid ghosts! ”
In addition, Hou Yi was beaten to death by his apprentice Fengmeng with a peachwood staff. After his death, he was named the god of Zongbu, holding a tiger in his hand, inspecting ten thousand ghosts, and being called the ghost king. Because Momoki can even kill the ghost king, so the ghosts will retreat! ”
"Isn't that legend?" Ma Yan asked.
"Legends also come out of reality, without reality, people can't dream of these things!" Yue Jin asked rhetorically.
"That's too!" Ma Yan nodded. Seeing Yue Jin walking back with two things, he asked again, "With these few things, you should be able to clean up those female ghosts!" ”
"Not enough, two things are missing!"
Yue Jin shook his head slowly, "The first type is copper coins. The so-called money can make the ghost grind, the copper money circulates in the world, countless people have been contaminated with it, and the yang energy on it is the most. It is necessary to lay down a copper coin formation and seal up where they are. lest they flee and bring trouble to the world! ”
"In addition, it is to collect ghost gourds! They are hateful, but there is pity for those who are hateful. I don't want to kill them and get too much cause and effect. Putting them away and sending them to the Yin Si is the best choice! ”
Although Yue Jin said it clearly, Ma Yan was confused. I only feel that what I have seen recently has completely subverted my previous cognition, making her understanding of the world a little blurred.
Buying copper coins is the easiest thing to do, and there are at least three stalls selling them in the entire antique market.
This is mainly due to the fact that some copper coins have left a huge amount in the world, and the highest ones can reach hundreds of millions. Such copper coins have no collection value, and the relevant departments will even sell them as scrap.
Yue Jin only needs to use the yang energy on the copper coin, and the choice is not a unique product. It was easy to buy a thousand copper coins for two dollars each. Packed in a woven bag.
Then, he spent another ten yuan to buy a seven-inch cultural play gourd. I went to the market again and bought a rooster that was nearly nine years old and took chicken blood. Then I bought cinnabar, carving knives and other things, and then got into Ma Yan's car.
"What's next?" Ma Yan looked at what Yue Jin had bought, and then asked again.
"Find a quiet place, I want a tool!" Yue Jin replied.
"A place to be clean!"
Ma Yan immediately made a difficulty, there must be a place to be clean, her dormitory is clean enough, but she can't lead Yue in. After thinking about it for a while, I finally came up with a solution, "Let's go to the hotel and open a room!" ”
"Okay!"
Yue Jin nodded, but he didn't care, as long as he could work.
"I'll tell you, it's okay to go to the hotel, don't think nonsense!"
Yue Jin was indifferent, but Ma Yan couldn't do it, and even warned Yue Jin.
"Don't worry, Officer Ma, I don't have that kind of mind for you!" Yue Jin shook his head.
"You don't have a heart for me!"
The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, and Ma Yan's anger immediately rose again. I have a beautiful face, and I don't know how many want to chase after me. This kid even dared to have no thoughts about her Officer Martha.
