Chapter 53: The Mysterious Jade Craftsman
Seeing that there was no movement outside, I decided to open the door to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, Kaoru Mochizuki jumped out from the side and swooped through the door.
I was anxious and said unhappily: "Miss Mochizuki, you are trespassing on a private house, in other words, this is the same as the Japanese soldiers invaded China back then, I am the only man in this house, and the lonely man and widow are not good-looking." Get out of here, I'm not welcome to you. ”
"Look at what you said, you have moved out of the aggression, how can I invade you as a woman." Kaoru Mochizuki said, obviously not wanting to be kicked out by me like that.
"Then you're not afraid that I'll invade you?" I smirked evilly, intending to scare her.
Kaoru Mochizuki pointed to his waist, bulging as if he was tucking something, it was estimated that it was a weapon such as a dagger, or maybe a gun, these people could always escape the investigation. "If you mess around, I'll call you with this."
I glanced at the guy on her waist with disdain, although I was not convinced, but it was really bad for a while, in case I was in a hurry and was killed, wouldn't it ruin my good years. "Okay, come in if you want, but don't touch it, I'm all antiques, it's all treasures." After a little thought, I decided to agree to her application.
Kaoru Mochizuki paced back and forth in the living room, and said straight to the point: "I'm here to see the Wolf Bead, can you let me see it?" ”
The words were very polite and discussed, and I felt like a threat to me. "I'm sorry, I didn't leave it at home." I lied.
"Don't make a draft if you lie!" After saying that, Kaoru Mochizuki went straight into my bedroom and walked straight to the front of the drawer. That drawer is the drawer where I put the jade beads, and I have added a lock on it.
"It's right in there." Kaoru Mochizuki said.
My mind was said all of a sudden, and I simply played Lai Pi, "Why, do you understand this coercion, it's a crime, now as long as I make a phone call, you will go to prison immediately......" I began to circle with Kaoru Mochizuki.
"Okay, if I go to prison, I'll tell the police how you got this thing." Kaoru Mochizuki seems to have grasped the key point, you must know that tomb robbery is a crime, in case this little lady has a heart and pulls me into the water, then I will inevitably suffer.
In desperation, I took out the key, opened the drawer, took out the glass bottle, and held it tightly in my arms. "Let's talk about it first, look at it, but don't take it away, let alone destroy it, otherwise I'll ...... "I'll make an appointment with her for three chapters first, so as not to cause chaos for a while."
"Okay, okay, everything is up to you." Kaoru Mochizuki, who saw the Nightmare Wolf Bead, was like a different person, changing his previous cold image, and being as happy as a child who saw candy.
I was also convinced by her 180-degree turn, came to the living room with a glass bottle in my hand and sat on the sofa, and gently placed the glass bottle of wolf beads on the coffee table. Kaoru Mochizuki watched intently next to me, and her excitement was palpable. I glanced at her, reached out and unscrewed the cap, and a scent poured out, this time stronger than before. I poured a soft cloth on the coffee table, and poured the jade beads from the cleaning agent onto the soft cloth, so as to cushion the damage caused by the impact of the jade beads and the coffee table surface.
Kaoru Mochizuki sat down next to me and looked at the two emerald jade beads in front of him. I saw that she was fascinated, I was about to say something, but I saw her point to the top of her head, I looked up, there was only a fancy chandelier on the top of the living room, I didn't understand what she meant, Kaoru Mochizuki had to say turn off the light. I groaned, reached out and was about to press the switch, when suddenly the outstretched hand was withdrawn.
Because it suddenly occurred to me that if it was dark as soon as I turned off the lights, this Kaoru Mochizuki ran away with the jade beads, and I couldn't catch up. "You don't have to play any tricks." I said to Kaoru Mochizuki.
Kaoru Mochizuki glanced at me, said to turn off the lights, and when I saw her ask again, I didn't think much about it, anyway, with such a small room, where can I run, I turned off the lights with a snap, and went back to the sofa and sat down.
In the dark room, a man and a woman sat side by side, staring at the two beads on the coffee table in front of them. Kaoru Mochizuki stretched out her hand and slowly brought the two beads closer, and as the two beads got closer and closer, the two beads became brighter and brighter, until when the two beads touched each other, the brightness was as bright as a candle.
I looked at the two shiny jade beads in surprise, and was speechless in surprise for a while. Kaoru Mochizuki touched me and asked me to turn on the light, and I pressed the switch and the light came on. As the living room light was turned on, the two jade beads also returned to their original appearance, even if they were close together, there was no light.
"The Pearl of the Night." I muttered three words.
Kaoru Mochizuki nodded, "Sort of, the Night Pearl is only part of the function of the Nightshade Wolf Bead, if you talk about it in detail, the Night Pearl is an ordinary stone compared to the Wolf Bead." But the wolf bead is also a little inferior to the night pearl, only when the two touch together, it will shine, and after separation, it is an ordinary jade pearl. ”
"That's easy, just smash a bead in half." I don't know how to come up with such a sentence, it's like when a mirror is broken, we can see multiple shadows. The so-called broken mirror is difficult to reunite, because a mirror is broken in half, even if it is put together, it cannot reflect the same shadow.
"Theoretically, it is possible, but it is not known whether this is the case, because the two beads have never been divided." Kaoru Mochizuki said.
"I have never been divided, I believe that these two beads were not broken in half, but when this jade bead was made, it should have been cut." I think Kaoru Mochizuki's statement is a bit exaggerated.
Seeing that I didn't believe it, Kaoru Mochizuki shook his head and said, "Let me tell you the origin of these two beads." I sat upright, ready to hear what she had to say, and after a little talking, I realized that what I had just said was too superficial.
Kaoru Mochizuki talked about the origin of the wolf bead, and as soon as he talked about this wolf bead, Kaoru Mochizuki mentioned General Wu Si. It seems that Kaoru Mochizuki does know a lot about this thing, and she knows that what I am doing in Xing'anling is true. From her words, I also confirmed one thing, that is, the "White Devil King" that General Wu Si and Lao Zhao mentioned to us is a person, or the same monster.
Legend has it that General Wu Si, also known as the White Devil King, has a pair of eyes that can see things in the dark like in the daytime, to put it bluntly, a pair of night eyes. But as General Wu Si grew older, when he was old, his eyes gradually lost their luster, which made him very sad.
The military advisor who learned of this incident sent people to sneak into the Ming Dynasty and go to the Sino-Burmese border in the southwest to find two unparalleled jade rough stones. Speaking of this jadeite rough, from the outside, just like an ordinary stone, the outside is wrapped with a layer of weathered skin, due to the weathered skin covering, there is no way to see the color inside from the outside, so this also gave birth to the popularity of gambling stones, some people get rich overnight, some people lose money overnight. Let's not talk about gambling stones, but this spy was ordered by the military advisor to find the original stone, and he couldn't grind off the weathered skin on the surface, and I don't know what method this person used, and finally found a pair of egg-sized stones in a mountain, which were born as a pair, and even the shape and size were exactly the same.
The treasure hunter who got the original stone did not dare to pass through the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but made a detour back to the prairie and handed the original stone into the hands of the military advisor. The military advisor who got the original stone rewarded the treasure hunter, and then sent someone to kill the treasure hunter's entire family, and burned the corpse to charred corpses. The military advisor then presented the original stone to General Wu Si, and when General Wu Si saw the original stone for the first time, he was attracted by the two egg-sized rough stones in front of him, and his eyes, which were drying up day by day, seemed to suddenly regain their light. The military advisor was very happy to see General Wu Si, and took the opportunity to tell General Wu Si his plan, it turned out that in order to please General Wu Si, the military advisor sent people to the south to find these two jade rough stones to give to him. And the ultimate goal of the military advisor is to make these two rough stones into jade beads through extraordinary means, and inlay them into the eye sockets of General Wu Si a hundred years later, so that he can have a pair of eyes that are different from others and will never dry up even after death.
After a slight hesitation, General Wu Si agreed with the idea of the military advisor, after all, everyone has a knot, and it is estimated that General Wu Si's knot is his gradually dimming eyes. The military advisor who received permission immediately sent people to find the "jade craftsman". However, the jade craftsman he was looking for was not an ordinary craftsman, but two wild wolves, one male and one female, the size of two calves, and the military advisor ordered two jade rough stones to be put into the wolf's belly, and the two wolves were released back into the grassland.
The rough stone is in the belly of the two wolves, after a long run-in, the weathered skin on the surface is gradually grinded away, revealing the emerald green inside, and then the two egg-sized jadeite are gradually ground into jade beads, time Moon City, the surface of the jade beads is smooth and supple. But in the process, the two wolves, who were used as "jade craftsmen", endured great pain, and even tore their own bodies.
After a few years, the military advisor calculated the time and ordered someone to find two "jade craftsmen". After finding the "jade craftsman", he cut open the wolf's belly and took out two emerald green jade beads from it.
Because of the accurate calculation of time, the size of the jade bead is just like a human eyeball, and the surface is smooth, and the light stealing is strong. Although it is cut out of the wolf's belly, it has a faint fragrance, and this fragrance will gradually increase to a certain extent over time, but it will not grow indefinitely. These two jade beads taken out of the wolf's belly are called "Fragrance Wolf Beads" because of their characteristics.
