Chapter 93: Nine Traps
Seeing that the fire in my hand was raging, I was about to turn around and throw the rag bag wrapped in flames outside the house, and wait for it to burn out, but before I could turn around, the old man took the first step down from the kang, grabbed the rope at the end of the cloth bag, and pulled the rope at the mouth of the cloth bag, and tied the cloth bag one by one, and then took the cloth bag over, and only said a word to me and the fat man.

"Look at it."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he turned his hand, grabbed the tail of the fiery man exposed outside the cloth bag, and sank the entire cloth bag wrapped in flames into a deep water tank next to the kang, like exercising steel, the movements were coherent, and it was done in one go.
The fat man and I couldn't understand it, and watched the old man grab the tail of the fire and turn around in the water tank a few times, and then carefully pulled up the rag bag and handed it to me.
"Open."
The old man smiled indifferently and commanded.
I carried the wet rag bag, although I was suspicious, but the movement of my hand did not stop, three or two times to pull the tendon line of the cloth bag open, almost did not scream.
-- The fire that the fat man had just put in the rag bag was still crackling as if it were all right, and there was no sign of burning inside or out of the bag.
I didn't expect this unsightly dark gray rag bag to be a treasure!
The fat man stretched out his hand and took out the Huotingzi, and after extinguishing it and throwing it out, we both stretched out our heads together to look into the inside of the cloth bag, only to see that the lines in the pocket of the cloth bag were vertical and horizontal, and from the outside, these ripples were like water ripples, waving out faint ripples.
"This ...... What's going on? I couldn't help but wonder.
The old man twisted his goatee and smiled, and said.
"This is the treasure handed down by the ancestors of our Tang family, the nine-fold Qiankun Pocket."
"Ninefold Qiankun Pocket?"
The old man nodded, saw that I frowned, and reminded me: "You have studied history, you can take a good look at this nine-fold Qiankun pocket, and then think about it, is there any fabric in history...... Is it not damaged by drowning, and it is not destroyed by fire? ”
Hearing the old man mention this, I suddenly remembered and slapped my thigh, "Grandpa said...... Is it the fire cloth? ”
"Yes, it's Huohuan cloth."
This fire cloth, also known as fire cloth, is from the pre-Qin "Liezi? Tang Wen", the text said: "The cloth of the fire and the Huan, after the Huan is finished, it will be thrown into the fire." "I've seen this kind of fabric in books before, and to put it simply, it is a fabric spun from asbestos fibers in ancient times, because it is not flammable, and it can also remove the dirt on the surface of the cloth when thrown in the fire, which is much more convenient than washing, so it gets its name.
There is an allusion in the history of the fire cloth, saying that since the pre-Qin to the Han Dynasty, there has been a kind of magic cloth that does not burn badly, called "fire cloth", and Emperor Wei Wen Cao Pi thinks that this kind of cloth is completely nonsense, it is impossible to exist in the world, and then this idea is included in his own book "Classics", after Emperor Cao Rui of Wei Ming succeeded to the throne, he engraved all the "Classics" of his father Cao Pi on the stone tablet to announce the world. But later, after the stone tablet was burned, there were good deeds to Emperor Wei Ming, saying that there was an envoy from the Western Regions who came to offer treasures, and it was the Chinese robe made of the fire cloth that the first emperor vetoed, Emperor Wei Ming did not believe it, until the envoy of the Western Regions showed its "fire does not burn" characteristics in front of him, Emperor Wei Ming was greatly embarrassed, and ordered people to shovel all the discussions on the fire cloth on the stone tablet.
In addition to allusions, there are also records of this thing in ancient mythology in our country. According to legend, Kunlun Mountain, the head of China's dragon vein, has a total of nine heavens, nine times into one, self-shaking; And in the periphery of this nine heavens, there are also around the eighty-one mountains that burn with flames all the year round, on these eighty-one large volcanoes, there lives a giant fire rat that is larger than a cow, the legend is that this fire rat weighs a thousand catties, up to two feet long, the hair around the body is as fine as silk, they live in the fire on the volcano, the whole body is red, the fire is snow-white, the people of the ancient times take advantage of this kind of fire rat to leave the fire and the whole body is snow-white, pour water on them to kill it, and then use their hair to weave clothes, It is not destroyed in case of fire, and the bath is clean and clean, and people call this kind of cloth a fire cloth. Of course, some people say that this thing is woven from a small fire rat fur in Bukjing County, Ninan County.
I've also heard a little about the fire raccoon cloth that can't be burned by fire, but not to mention the chameleon rats on the top of the Nine-fold Kunlun Eighty-one Tinder Mountain, and I haven't even seen the normal little fire rats in Beijing County, let alone the fire raccoon cloth made from their hair. So when I heard the old man say that this was Huohuan cloth, I was a little confused for a while.
"Our ancestors...... And this awesome thing, huh? I asked the old man in a daze.
The old man nodded, "It has been handed down since the Sui and Tang dynasties." ”
I blinked and said, "No...... Grandpa, our ancestors have been pulling carts for generations, what are you doing with this thing? Isn't it a copper coin that is hot, so you have to take this Huohuan cloth bag to pack it? ”
The old man shook his head and sighed, "It is indeed used to hold gold and silver treasures...... But it's not all the reward for pulling the car. ”
I heard that the old man had something to say, so I didn't say anything, and waited for him to continue, no, the old man shouted at the doorrail behind us tremblingly.
"Girl, come in."
When the fat man and I heard this, we brushed our heads to the doorrail, only to find that at some point, Cailiu was standing at the doorrail, silently like a ghost, which scared me.
When I saw that it was Cailiu, I hurriedly asked her what was wrong, but she still ignored me as always. Hearing that the old man called for himself to enter the house, Cailiu was not polite, and stepped into the house in three steps, and as soon as he came in, he made an unbelievable move.
The fat man and I saw her clasping her hands into fists, respectfully squeezing at the old man, and seeing the old man waving his hand, Cailiu returned to her cold expression.
These two people really know each other!
My heart moved, but why didn't the old man tell me the truth? Am I his own grandson, or is there something hidden in this that I can't easily know?
I was full of suspicions, but the old man pointed to the nine-fold Qiankun in my hand and asked Cailiu, "Girl, do you know what this is?" ”
Listening to the old man's words, the style of conversation has changed, and the fat man and I are becoming more and more confused, but I can't interject anything at the moment, so I can only stand aside and listen to what they say.
Cailiu turned her head to glance at the thing in my hand, and said lightly: "This is 'Fire Ray'." ”
"Sure enough, it's you...... Sure enough, it's you! ”
After hearing Cailiu say an inexplicable word, the old man suddenly said in a trembling voice, and his right hand hanging in the air began to tremble unconsciously, and his blazing eyes flashed tears in a moment. The fat man and I saw this scene so vividly that we couldn't help but gasp - I had no idea what was going on. (To be continued.) )
