"It's really not easy to believe, and it's even a bit mysterious. How is it possible to display the time of a person's death on a piece? I smiled wryly, for when I said this, I knew that it would be questioned by everyone, but it was recorded in many books.

There is a passage in "Strange Spirits", which reads: "There are strange stones, which can record life and death." "I'm talking about half-born stones. And there is also such a record in "Night Talk in the Small Window": "The strange stone engraves the fate, and the birthday of the description can be the birthday." ”

"This ...... How is that possible? Professor Liu muttered, a little unacceptable.

"Isn't that as long as there is a half-living stone, you can know the time of your death? This is also terrifying......" Xu Yafen suddenly had a whimsy, but then was shuddered by his own thoughts.

I shook my head and smiled: "How can it be so simple, do you know how difficult it is to make a piece and a half of life?" ”

"The production of semi-raw stone is not simple, it can even be said to be quite difficult, it not only requires fine jade, but also excellent carving, and more importantly, calculating the time of death, which requires an extraordinary level of yin and yang. The first two are easy to say, but it is even more difficult to meet the third condition, and even the whole of China cannot find a few. Do you think that such a person with extraordinary status must have strong principles, do you think he casually divulges the secret of heaven?"

In the end, I asserted, "There are no two half-born stones like this in the world!" ”

"Uh...... That ......" At this moment, Ye Yongping suddenly interrupted us: "I also have a piece of such jade!" ”

After speaking, he took out his hand inside his clothes, and then took out a small and delicate jade.

“……”

I was speechless for a moment.

I looked at Ye Yongping embarrassedly, are you really good like this?

But this embarrassment only lasted for a second, and I immediately took the jade in Ye Yongping's hand and looked at it carefully.

The jade is very small, and it can be seen that although it is not the same piece of jade as the old lady's Lantian jade before, it is definitely the same specification.

Ye Yongping's jade is carved with a spinning turtle.

I originally thought it was Xuanwu, but if you look closely, it's not, although the two are very close in appearance, but the head of the tortoise is a bird-like beak, which is very similar to an eagle, and its tail is very similar to the turtle tail and snake tail.

Some people who don't know often mistake the tortoise for Xuanwu, but in fact, there is a big difference between the two. At the very least, the Spiral Turtle is not a mythical beast.

On the back of the jade, there is still an hour.

It was the hour, that is, from seven to nine o'clock in the morning.

On the back of the jade, there is a line of small characters, which is written in a line of small characters, which is Ye Yongping's birthday.

I looked at it carefully, and after a long time, I said slowly: "Why do you have such a half-born stone?" ”

Ye Yongping shook his head: "I don't know, I only know that since I was very young, I have been carrying this jade pendant, and I have never left my body, and once when I was a child, I almost couldn't find it, and I was almost killed by my father." Not only me, but as far as I know, there are many people in this town who have such jade. ”

"A lot of people?" I was directly shocked, and looked at the jade in my hand in disbelief. "How is this possible?"

"Are you sure?" I asked.

Ye Yongping nodded: "Sure, when I went to take a bath several times, I saw some of my friends bring them, which are almost exactly the same as mine, but the carved things are different, some look like monsters, and some look like plants...... And they also started bringing it from a young age. ”

I frowned: "How can there be so many half-life stones!" ”

"Could it be that this is not a half-born stone?" Xu Yafen asked.

"It's not a half-born stone!" I was a little stunned for a moment, and I couldn't help but raise the jade in my hand and look at it carefully, but after a while, I put down the jade in my hand: "No, this is absolutely the same as the half-born stone!" ”

"But...... But how could someone make so many half-born stones, this is unrealistic, no matter how high that person's level is, it is impossible to leak the heavenly secret to such a point! "I'm really confused.

"But what is it if it's not a half-born stone?"

Ye Yongping's words made me puzzled, and the matter of the half-life stone was temporarily over.

Even when I got back to my room, I had a deep echo in my mind.

But unexpectedly, the next morning, the captain suddenly made a phone call.

"Someone is missing again!"

But we were having breakfast, and a phone call drained all of our appetites.

We hurried to Yongsan.

At this time, Yongsan has been completely cordoned off, and from time to time there are police hovering around the fringes.

After passing through the blockade, we saw the captain standing by a coffin with an ugly face, and the Taoist priest was also standing next to him, his face was a little gloomy.

Kuroki observed that a man was bending over, not knowing what he was doing.

The captain saw us coming, nodded briefly at us, and then pointed into the black wooden coffin.

The black black wooden coffin had been opened, and the lid of the coffin was placed on a wooden shelf beside it. Inside the black wooden coffin, there was a corpse.

The corpse was a middle-aged man, not very old, about forty or fifty years old, wearing a black embroidered shroud, lying in the coffin with a pale face, his eyes wide, as if he had been wronged.

The man who was hunched over was the coroner, who was scrutinizing it.

"Look at ......" After a while, the captain handed us something.

When we looked at it, it was still a piece of jade.

We looked at each other, and our faces became even more ugly.

The jade is also Lantian jade, with a bird engraved on it, but it is three-legged, and below the jade, there is an hour and the birth date of the deceased.

"When did the deceased die?"

I looked at the hour on the jade, and felt that these two words were particularly dazzling, these two words were like a talisman, announcing death, I didn't hesitate, and asked directly to the captain.

Around one o'clock in the evening.

Before the captain could answer, the coroner suddenly interjected.

glanced at the jade in his hand, and the two words on it were clear.

"Ugly!"

This time, not only me, but everyone's faces were a little ugly, especially Ye Yongping, who looked at the jade in my hand tremblingly, and the corners of his mouth were trembling.

"This is really a half-born stone!" Xu Yafen covered her mouth and let out a sound of surprise.

Professor Liu pushed his glasses in disbelief: "This is incredible! ”

But I kept frowning, and I couldn't let go of it for a long time!

Is this really a half-born stone?

To be honest, this jade is almost the same as the half-born stone I saw in my book.

The different animals above represent each person's different genera and personality, Lantian jade, the eight characters of the hour, and the time of death, almost all of which are on the opposite side of the half-life stone. But I never believed that there would be so many half-born stones.

That's when I thought of someone.

Perhaps, this person can unravel the confusion in my heart.
