Chapter 3: The Ancestral Jade Talisman
I ran out of the supermarket in a panic and returned to the antique store, and I locked the doors and windows.
Sitting on the sofa, cold sweat broke out.
I began to slowly recall all the things that had happened the night beforeβ
I followed those people to buy black goods, got into a van, somehow ended up in an underground parking garage, and encountered such a terrible thing......
The mustache named Lim Young-jeou said that everyone was dead.
yes, why did everyone die and only me survived?!
Could it be that the stone really plays the role?!
Thinking of this, I touched my pocket, poured out the contents and saw that the oval stone had been broken in two from the middle, and the pattern painted with red paint on the surface had also disappeared.
If you ask me, where did the stone come from?
This matter will start from 10 days ago.
That morning, I was on my way to a client with a piece of porcelain.
When I opened the door, I found only one person wandering down the street.
This person is very eye-catching, and I mainly mean dressing.
He was wearing a gray robe on the top, a pair of ripped jeans on the bottom, a pair of slippers kicked under his feet, and he walked staggeringly, his hair tossing unkemptly.
If this person holds a broken fan in his hand, it is easy for me to think of the Jigong Living Buddha in the TV series.
I thought it was just a madman who was about to walk past him.
Unexpectedly, the guy's movements were quite fast, he grabbed my shoulder, and said with a smile: "Hehe, this layman, I see that your Yin Tang is black, and there is dark dust on the tip of your nose, I'm afraid that a big disaster is coming......"
"Get out of the way, you're going to be out of luck?"
I've seen a lot of this kind of scammer, first say a few cruel words to scare you, and then I'm going to start scamming money.
"Hey, don't be in a hurry to go, you see, I have a jade talisman here, which is my ancestral heirloom, as long as you wear it on your body, it ensures that you can avoid evil and turn danger into a disaster......"
As he spoke, the madman took out a small, oval-shaped, flat stone from his pocket and shook it before my eyes.
"Today you and I are destined, I will give you a cheaper, a discounted price, only eighty-eight yuan, it is really a good deal, quickly pay for the jade talisman back!"
I tried to break free of him, but this guy had a lot of hands, and he grabbed my clothes and wouldn't let go.
Moreover, I understand jade, where is the jade talisman in that person's hand?
To put it mildly, it's just a pebble, and the cost doesn't cost more than five cents, isn't this a pit?
"Neurotic, are you?!" I struggled and shouted, "If you don't let go, I'm going to call the police!" β
"This layman, it seems that you don't believe Master Ben's words, do you?"
"I ...... Why believe you? β
"Okay, if you don't believe it, just take three steps forward, within three steps, you will have a bloody disaster!!" After saying this, the madman let go of his hand and threatened me in an unkind tone.
Crazy man and god stick, open your mouth, I can still be afraid of you!
I glared at him viciously, and without hesitation, I strode forward.
However, just as I was taking the third step, I somehow tripped over a raised floor tile.
At that time, I was holding a brocade box with a large blue and white porcelain bowl in it.
In order to protect the fragile porcelain, I could only hold the brocade box with both hands, and my body fell heavily to the ground.
Fortunately, the brocade box in his arms did not fall to the ground, but his elbow was broken by the floor tiles, and he really saw blood.
The madman was so happy that he ran up to me with a big grin, crouched down, pointed to the wound on my elbow, and said, "You believe it at last, this layman?" β
"You, you...... Did you deliberately plot against me?! β
"My jade talisman is an ancestral treasure, only this one, as long as you wear it on your body, you are guaranteed to be able to save the day......"
I got up from the ground, patted the dirt off my body, glared at him again, and was about to leave.
"In less than ten steps, the baby in your arms, hehe, I'm afraid you'll be crushed......" the madman shouted behind me.
I don't believe it, I just don't believe it, how can I encourage the arrogance and majesty of this kind of divine stick?
However, when I reached the ninth step, I subconsciously stopped.
Although my blue and white porcelain bowl is not a tribute to the official kiln, it is also a fine product in the private kiln, and it was collected for 5,000 yuan three years ago, and it is the treasure of the town store of the Qilin Pavilion.
I swear I really don't believe that crazy man's words, I'm worried that guy is plotting against me again, my store is here, I know the roots, what if I offend that guy?
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves!
Well, I'm just a small owner of an antique shop, with no power, no power, and no great power, so I can only bow to the evil forces.
"You...... You come here...... "In the spirit of breaking the fortune and avoiding disasters, I beckoned to the man and took out my wallet, "You jade talisman, I bought it, this is a hundred yuan, you don't need to look for it......"
I held up a hundred dollars and handed it to him, but the man didn't take it, but smiled maliciously.
"What's the matter, you're worried that this money is fake?"
"No, no, no, it's not the right price, is it?"
"What's wrong, didn't you say eighty-eight?"
"Just now, I thought you and I were destined, and I kindly gave you a discount, but you gave you a shameless face, and now, I don't give a discount, the original price, eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan......"
", you, you...... Aren't you a scam?! β
"Believe it or not, if you don't buy it, forget it, there is a kind of you who will take another step forward!"
Looking at the madman's confident appearance, I sighed: "Okay, okay, even if you are ruthless, even if I didn't see the yellow calendar and met you when I went out, here is nine hundred yuan, no need to look for money......"
The madman took the money with a smirk on his face and counted it three times with his fingers glued to the foam.
Then, he actually took out a ten-yuan and two one-yuan coins from his pocket and stuffed them into me, saying, "I said that it is eight hundred and eighty-eight, Tong Suo is not deceitful, how can I charge you an extra twelve yuan?" β
"Damn, you're still a child......
"Okay, okay, remember to put this jade talisman on your body every day, within ten days, this thing will inevitably have a huge divine power......"
With that, the madman staggered away and left the street.
It seems that this person is squatting in front of my store, I don't know how many days he has observed me, and he is deliberately trying to calculate me.
Forget it, what are you angry about when the money is spent, even if it is a ruin to avoid disasters!
I picked up the jade talisman and looked at it, it was really an ordinary white pebble.
However, a pattern was drawn on the stone with a red pigment, which looked somewhat like a talisman.
I don't know if it works or not, but I spent so much money to buy it, so I carefully put this jade talisman in the pocket of my clothes and put a zipper.
I turned around and took the tenth step, and sure enough, I didn't continue wrestling, and I arrived at the client's house safely.
It's a pity that the other party didn't like my porcelain bowl, and the business didn't work.
Recall that it has been exactly ten days since I bought the jade talisman.
At this time, I looked at the broken stone in my hand, and thought back to the terrifying experience of the night before, could it really be that this jade talisman helped me stop the disaster?!
Thinking of this, I got up from the sofa and strode out of the store.
I'm going to find the person who sold me the jade talisman, maybe, he's not as simple as a liar?!
