Chapter 17: Cinnabar
I slept very soundly, and it was just a little bit when King Kong called me, and I only slept for about four hours, and my mental head was already replenished.
And I found that I didn't feel sleepy at all, and I was refreshed and energetic, as if I had slept for eight hours.
You know, I used to have a complete difficulty getting out of bed, and I didn't know how many strange postures I had to change every time I got up, until I put a toothbrush in my mouth......
Could it be because of the cultivation of immortality?
Whatever, it's a good thing.
The takeaway they ordered for lunch left me a copy, I ate it in three or two bites, ready to grind some cinnabar ink, the previous one was almost used up, so I went to the study and took out my mother's cinnabar bracelet, ready to break it.
"Wait a minute!"
Wei Jinbo's thunderous shout suddenly sounded in my ears, so frightened that I almost threw the bracelet out.
"What are you doing! Can you be quieter! I patted my chest and turned my head to complain.
"I'm sorry!" Wei Jinbo's voice was really a little quieter, but it was basically the same as shouting.
Feed! Are you playing with me.
Seeing that my face was not good, Wei Jinbo scratched the back of his head and continued: "I really didn't mean to, my ear was blown up by a thunderstorm charm when I was six years old, so I couldn't control my voice. ”
Hearing him say this, I felt a little guilty in my heart, and I was thinking about apologizing, and then I thought, no, you have a bad ear, so it's okay to listen to us, so I said this question.
"Actually...... I really can't hear you clearly," Wei Jinbo said embarrassedly: "I'm all lip talking." ”
I rub! Why don't you have such an awesome talent!
Just thinking about it, I couldn't help but say "Sabi" with my mouth.
"How do you curse!" Wei Jinbo blew up on the spot.
"Sorry, I'm just doing an experiment," I explained with a smile, "By the way, did you have anything to say to me before?" ”
"Can you show me the bracelet in your hand?" Wei Jin looked at the bracelet in my hand blankly.
I nodded and slipped the bracelet into his hand.
He took a closer look at the broken part of the bracelet that I had broken, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, rubbed a thin red mark on his finger, and then put the red mark in his mouth and licked it, shaking his head and saying "tsk" in his mouth.
I asked him what was wrong, but he didn't answer, and asked me if the bracelet was sold.
King Kong and Jierou were also attracted to him, and King Kong took the bracelet and looked at it for a while, and then handed it to Jierou, and I found that the expressions of the two of them also became a little strange at the same time.
"Chen You, where did you get this bracelet?" King Kong gave me back the bracelet.
I also learned from them and studied the bracelet curiously: "Isn't it just an ordinary cinnabar bracelet, is there any way to say it?" ”
"Cinnabar? What a waste of you, this is Qiandong Chensha! Wei Jinbo shouted in a loud voice: "Such a big piece of cinnabar, to say the least, it will cost millions." ”
"Millions of !!"
Damn, I feel that my heart hurts so much, it hurts more than being destroyed a hundred times by the ghost, and the bracelet is millions bigger, why did I knock on the ink at that time.
I can finally understand why my parents called me a loser when I was a child, and I wanted to slap myself so much......
That's it, and I owe this priceless bracelet, or I would have died several times.
"You said before that you beat the ghost with cinnabar ink, I'm still curious, according to the way of this ghost, ordinary cinnabar shouldn't be able to hurt her," King Kong patted me on the shoulder: "Forget it, I saved your life." ”
King Kong took out a small bottle from his pocket again: "Although the cinnabar bracelet is missing, it is still valuable, you can use my Xiangsha in the future, although it is not as effective as cinnabar, but fortunately, the output is large and cheap." ”
I took the bottle and nodded gratefully at King Kong, and Wei Jinbo still looked at the cinnabar bracelet in my hand.
My heart moved, this Maoshan faction is good at the art of talismans, so the temptation of cinnabar to them is not small, haha.
I put the cinnabar bracelet in my pocket and pretended not to see Wei Jinbo's little eyes.
Whet your appetite first.
King Kong looked at his watch and said that it was almost time, let's get ready and go out, I put on the pen that changed the Xiangsha ink, remembered that the bag still guarded against the gloves that King Kong gave me yesterday, and I wore it on my left hand, just enough to cover the ghost lines, and put on a black sweatshirt and rushed to the airport with them.
When the mink saw that I was wearing a hooded garment, he refused to put it in his bag, and had to lie in the hood behind my head, and I was helpless, so I had to let him do it, but fortunately it was not summer, otherwise the people on the street looked at me from afar around a white fur collar and thought that I was insane.
Qi Ke and his wife took a flight back to New York and arrived at 5 p.m. on time, and we arrived at the pick-up gate of T3 at 2 o'clock, with three hours to go.
I glanced at the terminal, and I couldn't help but feel a little emotional, I returned to China to get off the plane from here, and then so many bizarre things happened, in just a few days, I stood in this place again, but it was like a world away.
King Kong familiarly took us to the elevator on the main building of the terminal, made a few detours, and came to the door of a place called the T3 Flight Area Management Department for us to wait for him.
I saw him walk in the door and find a man dressed like the foreman here, King Kong took out a card, said a few words to him, and pointed to us.
When the foreman turned his head, I was surprised to find that it was an old acquaintance, the person in charge of the airport who had mediated my case of losing jade.
When the foreman saw me, he was also stunned for a moment, and King Kong seemed to find out that we knew each other, so he walked over with him.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, we haven't found that jade pendant yet, but about this matter, the senior management of the group has discussed how to deal with it, and is willing to compensate you for your losses," the foreman's attitude was very polite, and to my surprise, he actually remembered my name.
I thought about it, if it was an ordinary jade pendant, I would forget it, but that jade pendant has a soul of mine in it, so I said: "Manager Wang, that jade pendant is very important to me, it is a priceless jade species, and it is also a family heirloom of our family, I must find it, I hope the airport can provide some clues, or directly give me a copy of the surveillance video of the day." ”
Manager Wang was stunned for a moment: "We can't give you the surveillance video of the airport, and besides, according to the amount of compensation according to the normal jade pendant, it is already the biggest concession on our part of the airport, I hope you can understand." ”
It seems that he misunderstood me and thought that I was asking the lion to open his mouth.
"Ahem," Jin Gang understood on the side, and interjected: "Manager Wang, I think you know our identity, this matter is not a matter of money." ”
When Manager Wang heard this, he looked at me a few times in surprise, and finally made a concession and allowed us to go to the airport security department to check the video of the day, but we couldn't take it with us.
"Okay, I'll accompany you to your case for a while, let's study the matter of picking up the airport first," King Kong gave one of us a work card at the airport, and opened a floor plan of the airport: "It's still daytime, the yang is in full swing, and Hong Li shouldn't dare to come out, but just in case, I'll go to the No. 4 apron with Jiefu to pick up the plane in a while, Chen You, you just look at the wind in the tower, if there are any special circumstances, notify us as soon as possible." ”
I nodded, and Wei Jinbo said on the other side: "I'll go with you to pick up the airport, Qi Ke's wife is pregnant, in case that dirty thing gets on her body, you can't kill it, I have a soul suppression talisman here, but it can keep her mother and son safe." ”
King Kong thought for a moment and nodded.
It's still early, we went to the airport VIP room to rest, the tea in the VIP area is not bad, and the tea set is also readily available, the mink is over a mouthful of addiction this time, see a mink holding a tea cup to drink tea, the waitresses in the VIP area have a pair of beautiful eyes to look at us.
Wei Jinbo glanced at my pocket several times, and I couldn't help but feel funny when I saw him wanting to speak and stopping.
In the end, he couldn't help but ask me: "Chen You, can you sell me that bracelet, in this way, I have some purple-level immortal talismans in my hand, all of which are secret talismans of the Maoshan faction, and the good things that can't be obtained outside can be dealt with when I meet the ghost king." ”
I didn't answer him, I shook my head lightly, just kidding, I'm an ordinary rookie who has just entered the industry, and I can have a few chances to meet the ghost king.
Wei Jinbo's face turned red, and with a hand, he handed me a silver rune paper: "I also have a silver-level rune talisman, you must know that this rune of the retreat is the most difficult to refine, only we can refine it in Maoshan, each one is worth a fortune, which is equivalent to saving a life!" I only have this one on me, and even if I sell it, it's worth as much as your bracelet. ”
I glanced at it, although I was very moved, but I returned it to Wei Jinbo and shook my head.
What are you kidding, such an expensive thing, you let me use it like fireworks, I can't die of distress.
I'd rather be a little more careful.
Moreover, what is really valuable is the technique of drawing talismans, but from Wei Jinbo's words, it is obvious that the Maoshan Party cherishes the art of drawing talismans, and it should not be taught to outsiders casually.
I glanced at Wei Jinbo, and saw that he had a bitter face, how pitiful and pitiful he looked, the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, King Kong and Jiefu watched on the side and didn't know what to say, Jiefu simply said Amitabha, and then closed his eyes and went to sleep.
I thought about it, it was almost time, so I took out the cinnabar bracelet from my pocket and stuffed it into Wei Jinbo's hand.
He froze and stared at me blankly.
"Don't bother so much, I'll send you," I said generously.
It's so distressing, it's really distressing, damn it, I'm a loser, and I just gave away half a house! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!
Although I feel distressed to death, but since I am giving someone something, I have to send a full set, this favor is round, and my face is still calm: "Don't say more if it's a friend, this thing is a bracelet that can block ghosts for me, and it may be really useful to you, if you are also a friend of mine, just accept it, don't talk about anything that can be changed." ”
I endured the distress and took a sip of tea.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw King Kong with a strange smile on his face, and I thought to myself, I'm afraid King Kong would have seen my thoughts a long time ago, so he deliberately didn't stop me and looked at me pretending to be forced.
Looking at Wei Jinbo again, he still stared at me blankly, speechless for a while.
He was only in his teens, about twenty at most, and through this day's contact, I found that his mind was actually quite simple.
It's pretending to be beautiful!
I gave myself a thumbs up in my heart.
Wei Jinbo was choked by my half-house cinnabar bracelet and a few words of righteous Bo Yuntian for a long time, and suddenly slammed the table, and his already great voice raised an octave: "You won't be a GAY!" I don't do !! ”
"Poof......
I was so angry that I squirted out a sip of tea, and the mink suddenly jumped on the bald head of the meat abstinence, and even the meat abstinence was startled, and he opened his eyes and recited a few words of Amitabha...... Several beautiful waitresses next to her heard the voice and kept looking this way.
What's going on with today's children, who say that they are good and simple-minded!?
I felt that my face was hot, and I reached out to grab the cinnabar bracelet in Wei Jinbo's hand, but I regretted it when I followed it.
When Wei Jinbo saw that I was going to snatch the bracelet back, he seemed to have misunderstood something, nervously protected the bracelet, bit his lower lip, and shouted in humiliation: "Wait!! You tell me to think about it again!! ”
Consider Ni Mei! I was devastated...... In this hurry, he subconsciously scolded in his mouth: "Can you be quiet!" ”
As soon as the words came out, I shouted "bad" in my heart!
According to the content of this dialogue, the entire distorted bridge is completely plumped, and even King Kong looks at me with a hint of strangeness, and the abstinence from meat is even more Amitabha......
There were already people pointing at us all around, and I even saw a few beautiful waiters with a look of sudden realization in their eyes......
Feed! You've all misunderstood!
I forced myself to calm down, and at this point, whether it was answering things like "I think you misunderstood" or "I'm not a," I was labeling a "cunning" or a "timid" to the twisted fact that I had become a.
Thinking about it like this, I simply didn't explain, poured myself another cup of tea, and saw that Wei Jinbo was still holding the cinnabar bracelet and tangled there, so I said lightly: "The bracelet is for you, do you want love, and I already have a girlfriend." ”
After hearing this, Wei Jinbo hesitated for a while, and actually asked carefully: "Really?" ”
I nodded, and added two words in my heart, I used to ......
As for how he wants to understand the three words of girlfriend, I don't want to care, let alone care, I just want to divert this topic as soon as possible, and explain it in the future where there are fewer people.
Wei Jinbo thought for a while, put away the bracelet, and said, "Good brother!" In the future, anyone who can be useful to me Wei will be able to give up the sword mountain and the sea of fire! ”
I waved my hand, a little distracted.
Wei Jinbo didn't care so much, took the initiative to take my hand and stuffed me with a few shiny talismans, including the Escape Talisman.
I noticed that King Kong's face changed, and I thought that these runes were not cheap.
"It was me who was wrong before, good brothers shouldn't be so careful, you must accept these few self-defense talismans, Brother Chen!"
Wei Jinbo's voice was very loud, I looked around, for fear of causing another misunderstanding, so I put these pieces of rune paper in my bag.
In fact, I was curious where Wei Jinbo took out these runes, and his eyes looked around him.
He probably guessed my thoughts, and shook a silver ring on his index finger: "This is the Sumeru ring, which can store many belongings after recognizing the Lord." ”
I looked at this ring curiously, it was very ordinary, there was no pattern......
The expression on Wei Jinbo's face suddenly felt a little painful, probably thinking that I had fallen in love with this Sumeru ring, I hurriedly said: "I'm still used to carrying bags, you probably have to use Dao Qi to support this thing, I don't have Dao Qi, and I can't use it." ”
It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I don't like to embarrass people too much.
This magical ring doesn't even have Gu Wei and King Kong, it must be a rare thing, I suspect that Wei Jinbo's identity is not as simple as just a little disciple of Maoshan, about his identity, if he is willing to say it, he will naturally tell me in the future, and I don't need to ask.
I also euphemistically expressed my desire to learn the art of the talisman.
Wei Jinbo thought about it and said that he could teach me the basic talisman technique, and he wouldn't be able to do it at the moment, but the secret talisman of Maoshan could not be passed on.
It turns out that learning talismans is divided into two parts, the first is the principle of making, and the second is the learning of secret patterns.
The principle of making ordinary talismans is not a secret, and many sects have included it.
However, the reason why the Maoshan faction's talisman is famous is because they have given birth to many geniuses in the talisman, the more famous ones are Zuo Ci of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tao Hongjing of the Southern Dynasty and Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty, etc., these sages have created many special secret talismans on the basis of the original talismans, making the secret art of Maoshan talismans famous all over the world.
I chatted with Wei Jinbo for a while, and briefly learned some principles and knowledge of talismans.
It wasn't until King Kong reminded everyone that the time was almost up, so we went our separate ways.
I followed the location on the map and found the end of a long hall, the left side of the hall was covered with glass, standing in my position, I could just see the three of them on the fourth tarmac and King Kong, and I waved at me, and I waved in response.
After waiting for a long time, at about 5:20, a United Airlines plane slowly drove towards the tarmac, which should be the flight Qi Ke was taking.
The plane stopped, and soon, the ferry ladder car drove over, pasted the plane door, the door opened, and the passengers on the plane walked down one after another.
We didn't wait long, and we saw Qi Ke helping a woman slowly down the stairs, and that woman should be Qi Ke's wife, You Jun.
Everything was normal, and I saw King Kong and the others greet him, and after chatting for a while, they walked together in the direction of the tower.
Looking at the bustling crowd, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it.
There were Chinese and foreigners in the crowd, and some foreigners got off the plane and looked around a few times, and then walked forward with the crowd.
That's right! Why isn't there an airport ground crew to lead the way?
Generally, this kind of not close to the plane is to walk back to the tower after getting off the plane, but there will be airport ground personnel with signal batons to guide the way.
Just as I was feeling strange, a man in airport ground work clothes appeared in my field of vision, he was running out from the direction of the tower, but ......
Problematic!
First, the airport staff usually doesn't arrive late, and he has a roll of newspaper in his hand, which seems to have something hard rolled in the middle.
I didn't hesitate and immediately called King Kong.
