Chapter 2 Gu's exorcism
Broken family? I looked at the middle-aged man in front of me who was about to cry, and I didn't know what this urinal had brought him.
"More than a month ago, I found such a urinal in the market." The man said with a sad face: "At that time, I just thought that this was a rare thing, rare on the market, and the workmanship was really good, so I bought it, but I didn't expect it, less than ten days after I bought it, the company lost a big order, lost millions, and then all kinds of bumps and bumps, and I was about to go bankrupt!" I once wanted to sell it, but no one wanted anyone who knew it, and the price of those who didn't know it was too low, so I had to ask someone to find Brother Monkey and come here. If you don't, I can't do anything! β
"Oh, don't throw it away, just get it!" I laughed, the merchant, he is a rich slave, he is about to go bankrupt, and he has to sell it for a good price, and if he drags it on, he will probably lose his life.
Sure enough, when this man was told by me, his old face turned red, and he didn't know what to say.
"Just like our young owner said, this thing is evil." The second uncle smiled: "We really don't want it." However, since the old monkey is here, it can be convenient, and if the price is right, it should be a favor. β
Well, I forgot, I'm a businessman, too! The meaning of the second uncle is clearly thinking about pulling the old monkey pit people, evil things, other families don't accept them, we take them exclusively from our family!
"This ......" The man looked at the old monkey, then at me and the second uncle, hesitated for a while and said, "When I received it, the price was ......."
The man held out five fingers, indicating that it was five million.
I don't know much about antiques, I can't tell what dynasty this thing is, but it's definitely a good thing if it's worth this money. If you can collect this money, you must not be a novice. It's just that this man is really weird, spending so much money to collect a urinal, or the ancients used it, it's crazy!
"Hah!" The second uncle laughed, simply sat down, didn't speak, and fiddled with his wine gourd.
The man was even more embarrassed, and looked down at the old monkey.
"Ahem!" The old monkey hurriedly played a round: "You are really, you don't know what the nature of this thing is?" Is it possible that you still want to sell it at the price you charged? Really! Think for yourself! β
"That'sβthat's the number!" The man gritted his teeth and stretched out three fingers.
This price has dropped a lot, and it has been reduced by two million in the blink of an eye, which is not a small determination.
The second uncle shook his head with a smile, and the old monkey also sighed and asked, "I said, let me ask you, before you went to sell, what was the highest bid?" β
The man was stunned: "That's the number I just gave......
"If you don't tell the truth, we won't be able to do this business." As soon as the old monkey heard this, his long face instantly pulled down.
The man let out a long sigh: "One more lower." β
"Forget it, let's go."
The old monkey said that he got up to leave, but the man hurriedly grabbed him: "Okay, okay, I'll tell the truth!" The highest bid before was only 600,000 yuan......"
600,000? If you buy something for 5 million, you will be left with 600,000 yuan, and if it were me, I wouldn't sell it!
"Oh, so be it." The second uncle smiled: "Since it was brought by the old monkey, even if it is to make a friend, 600,000 is indeed a bit low, but let me tell you, it is also a trouble for us to collect this thing, so let's make up a whole number, one million is collected, a fixed price!" β
The man was obviously dissatisfied, one in and one out, he lost four million, and now he has shrunk his net worth by this urinal, I don't know how much, how can he feel that he has lost too much. However, except for our Gu family, no one will give a higher price.
"Okay!" The man finally made up his mind: "It's time to make friends!" β
Ten minutes later, all the formalities were completed, the old monkey left with the man, and I sat on the chair and looked at the urinal with black body and gold thread: "Second uncle, what do we want such a thing for?" Although the value is not low, it is indeed not a good thing! β
"What do you know!" The second uncle smiled: "This thing belongs to the Jin Dynasty, and there are few things handed down from this dynasty, plus this piece of exquisite craftsmanship belongs to the super top grade, a little frying, it is not a problem to sell it for seven or eight million." β
"So much?!" I immediately felt that the man had lost a lot.
"I'll tell you." The second uncle suddenly became serious: "This thing is evil, so we charge a low price, but after we collect it, we must exorcise evil spirits, otherwise it will hurt people if we sell it." Exorcising evil spirits itself is a matter of merit, and our Gu family is willing to do it, but after exorcism, the selling price cannot exceed twice the closing price, this is the rule, and how much people sell after that has nothing to do with us, understand? β
I nodded, it turns out that our family does business like this.
"And." The second uncle added: "Old Monkey, it is a very important business partner of our Gu family, a lot of evil things are brought by him, this kind of person, we call him 'Erdao', to put it bluntly, he is the middleman, every time Erdao finishes a business with us, we have to give him a part of the commission, generally speaking, it is two percent." β
"That's a lot!" I sighed: "Just be a middleman, you can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in one business, I want to do it!" β
"You think it's easy?" The second uncle glanced at me: "Don't say whether you can make a sum in a year, if you can't do it and provoke someone, you will withdraw from this circle at best, and even lose your life if you hurt your muscles and bones, so it's better not to make this kind of wealth!" β
After that, the second uncle reached out and grabbed the urinal, beckoning to me: "You come with me, I will teach you to exorcise evil spirits." β
Exorcism? I was suddenly excited, and it seemed that the second uncle really planned to help me to the position. The second uncle pulled down the roller shutter door of the antique shop and led me to a small dark room on the second floor.
The room is not big, I really haven't been here on weekdays, it is ten square meters in size, and there is only a table and an altar in the house. The second uncle lit the dim light bulb, took out three incense sticks from the side, lit them, and inserted them into the incense burner on the altar.
After that, the second uncle put the porcelain urinal on the table, turned his head to me and said, "Do you know why this thing is so evil?" β
I shook my head, and said to myself, I can't even tell which dynasty it is, how can I know why it's so evil......
"If I'm not mistaken, this urinal was specially made by some rich and noble person, not to pee, but to cover up his illness." The second uncle said in a low voice: "The first time I saw this urinal, I felt that there was a strong bloody aura, not to mention ordinary people, even if it was me, if I couldn't exorcise evil spirits, it would be affected." β
"Bloody breath?" I looked puzzled, not knowing what the second uncle was talking about.
"Hmm." The second uncle nodded: "It should be that this person has a serious illness such as uremia, urine blood, but because something has not been done, in order to cover up his serious illness can not be cured, so he created this black urinal, think about it, this person urinates blood in it every day, can it not leave blood!" Moreover, it is estimated that this person has done too much, and uremia could not be cured at all at that time, so he died tragically not long after, and the urinal left behind was naturally extremely evil. β
After that, the second uncle turned around, dug out a spoonful of incense ash from the incense burner and put it in a very small porcelain bowl, and then pricked his finger with a needle, dripping a few drops of blood in it, shaking it gently.
I stood aside and watched with bated breath, and saw that the incense ash in the bowl had melted away in an instant, and a black liquid appeared in the bowl.
Seeing this, the second uncle took a step back, bowed to the altar three times, and then carefully poured the black liquid in the bowl onto the body of the urinal.
The strange thing is that the liquid disappeared without a trace the moment it touched the surface of the urinal, as if it was instantly absorbed by the urinal.
After a few seconds, the urinal began to change color rapidly with a speed visible to the naked eye, from black to dark red, then to jujube red, then slowly to white, and after about a minute, began to slowly return to its original color.
In this process, the second uncle has been carefully holding the urinal with both hands, not daring to move.
After five minutes, the urinal was completely back to its original state.
The second uncle let out a sigh of relief, and his face was already covered with sweat: "It's done, this thing can be shot." We take care of our family to exorcise evil spirits, unlike those Taoist priests or something, we have to use our own blood and vitality to do it, and we have to rest for several days every time we use it. β
I nodded, reached out and took the urinal, and sure enough, the back of my head was not cold, and the evil energy on this thing had been completely expelled.
At noon, I made a table of dishes with my second uncle, drank a few glasses, and I told Xiu'er's seniors and the old woman about it.
