Chapter 423: Mingyuan

"Old man, whose handiwork is this?" Look at the inscription on the painting that doesn't show any mystery, I asked.

After hearing this, the old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is not a cultural relic, it was given by a friend, and it is usually hung here to nourish the mind." Do you know the allusion to this? A reed across the river, facing the wall for nine years, broken arms and snow, only returning to the west, these four paintings are written about the Bodhidharma Patriarch, although the old man is not a disciple of Buddhism, but, on weekdays, I also read some scriptures or something, I can't talk about any understanding, but, fasting. ”

The old man said, his expression was indifferent, looking at her like she was not joking, I also nodded, and asked, "So, the old man is very interested in the concept of Zen Buddhism?" ”

"Hehe, not only Zen Buddhism, but also Tantra, you forgot what the old man did, these days, the one who is engaged in the protection of cultural relics has no religious knowledge. Let me tell you, not only these, but also some things about your Maoshan Taoist priests. Oh, don't you say I forgot, I have something for you! ”

After the old man finished speaking, he walked into the office, pulled out a sealed cardboard box under the cabinet, tore open the tape, pulled out the contents, and then pulled out an angular ruler from a large circle of foam.

This ruler, can have more than three feet, boxy slightly with a little curvature, there are some treated copper embroidery, in addition to the color is a little strange preservation, it is very good, I took the thing in my hand, carefully looked at the runes on the top below, and then, stroked the long set of rulers with a lot of spells written on it and asked him: "This is something from Maoshan!" ”

"That's right, this is your Maoshan thing, I thought it was a cultural relic, and then I said, this thing is a magic weapon, we can't control it, to tell you the truth, this thing has been put here for more than ten years, and at night, there are always strange things happening, everyone can't stand it and decided to deal with it, just when you're there, I'll send it to you!" As the old man spoke, he pushed the box to my side, and I looked at it, and then said, "Old man, this is too valuable!" It's not in line with the rules! ”

"What's unruly? This is my own thing, I bought it at the antique market last time, I thought it had something to do with something to be studied, so I spent a lot of money, and now, I regret it, I warn you, this thing is quite evil! I will move at night! The other party said, looking at the iron ruler with palpitations, and then shook his head as if he was sighing something.

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't be happy, although I have a ruler in my hand to protect myself, but there is nothing bad about having one more good thing around, what the old man said is right, this thing is indeed very evil, however, most of the spiritual things are very evil, I took a look at the spell on this ruler, it should be used to subdue demons and eliminate demons, that is, this is actually a sharp weapon used to fight ghosts.

Unlike the Ruler, the Ruler is too sharp and extremely brutal, and the filth it cuts is very miserable, so those who are familiar with this thing call it a weapon of killing. And now this ruler, called "Mingyuan ruler", is the most typical thing used to fight ghosts, and its function is similar to that of the willow whip, but, compared to the thing that can't be used once used, the heavy thing like an iron rod in front of you is obviously much more high-end than the willow whip, even if you can't use it, it's a very good thing to give away.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that I had really picked up a big bargain, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was not very right, what did he say just now, this thing will move at night???

Thinking of this, I asked, how do you know, as soon as these words came out of the middle, the old man looked sad and said to me: "I don't know what the specific problem is, but at night this thing does move, I think, is there something dirty in this room, what do you sense?" ”

"Dirty?" Looking at him with a black line, I was quite speechless, in the dark, I seemed to understand something, no wonder I got this gift, it turned out to be something to ask for, anyway, I turned around here, and I didn't find anything unusual in this room? If you want to talk about haunting, this house is all gloomy, but in this house, the sun is shining and it is not cold, and it doesn't feel right, so I turned my head to look around, and looked closely, but I didn't see any mystery, so I asked the old man with a blank face: "Is your house really haunted?" ”

"There's definitely no trouble in this house." The old man laughed, then sat on the sofa and patted the armrest on the side, confidently pointed to the opposite wall and said, "Look over there, can you see anything?" ”

"When I turned my head, I saw that there was nothing on the wall over there, and when I looked around, it was all like a cupboard, but this wall was empty, which was very strange.

Puzzled for a long time, I was startled, two sword points to the temples to open my eyes, a huge charm is sticking to the wall, red light flashing, very scary.

"This is the ability to draw spells in the air!?" Pointing to the talisman, I looked at the old man dumbfounded, and when the old man saw it, he smiled and explained: "You kid, you must recognize it, this is your master Jin Jiuling's handwriting!" To tell you the truth, all of a sudden, I recognized your kid as the little guy that Jin Jiuye often mentions, but in front of so many people, I can't talk about it to anyone. Now it's just the two of us, I think, there's nothing to hide, to tell you the truth, this ruler was discovered by Jin Jiuling, the two of us are also old friends for many years, if he hadn't seen this thing at a glance, I wouldn't have noticed this thing, but unfortunately, in the blink of an eye, the old man has gone, I keep it here and rust, it doesn't make sense, seeing that you don't have many things with you, I will give it to you, however, it should be said in front, the old man's things are not taken for nothingYou'll have to help me clean up this place before I take it! ”

"So, you're really haunted here?" I said, but I was very puzzled, but when the old man heard this, he said: "It's noisy, and it's very fierce, if it weren't for this charm hanging on the wall, how dare I, an old man, stay here longer, haven't you seen it, what time is it?" There was no one in the courtyard, and even the watchmen didn't dare to stay until after five o'clock. ”
