Chapter 43: The Treasure Amulet
Seeing that he couldn't decipher the mantra in the past three or five days, and he couldn't hide it, he had to explain the situation to Ayido truthfully.
Although she looked a little lost, she did not show sadness, but comforted me with a smile: "Brother Bi Mo, I have been waiting for a year, what if I have a few more days, at least now, it is much better than standing under the sun and suffering so much." ”
I see that her spirit seems to be much stronger than before, and then I see that the black tower incense has burned out, and the last trace of smoke left behind is wafting towards her, presumably this black incense must have played a lot of roles, but I don't know how long the energy of this incense stick can make her last.
The doorbell rang, and I opened the door to see Jin Facai standing outside the door, and the agreed meeting time had arrived.
He stood in the doorway and looked in and asked me how I was doing, and I nodded to indicate that he was okay.
He stepped in with a smile and said as he went, "Yo, why is this room so fragrant...... Girl, how's it going, are you feeling better? ”
Ayiduo owes a debt, sits upright and replies: "Well, Brother Bimo lit a stick of incense earlier, and now I feel much better." ”
"Brother Bi Mo? Zang Daguan, when did you change your name? He'll be your uncle at that age! ”
The three of them chatted a few words, and the Haw Par brothers followed. He also held a couple of foam bowls in his hands.
"Come on, come on, you're hungry after walking all night, let's go downstairs and buy a few bowls of snacks here, hurry up and try them." Ah Bao put the dishes and chopsticks on the coffee table, "Why are you so dark, this is your first congress?" ”
"Go, the girl is afraid of the light, you know a fart!" Ah Hu on the edge of the interface.
I looked at Ayido, and she smiled and said, "It should be okay to turn on the lights, I used to have big car lights shining on the side of the road every night, and I didn't feel uncomfortable, so you can just turn it on." ”
Ah Leopard turned on the ceiling light in the living room.
The snacks on the coffee table look a bit like the Yunnan cross-bridge rice noodles I have eaten before, smelling a little fresh and sour.
"What is this? Doesn't that look good?" asked Jin Facai, looking down and sniffing.
"This is called Dai family sarong, the meat in this is lean raw beef that has no tendons at all with a stick, the green one is wild coriander and leeks, and the white one is tripe shreds, stir this rice flour together, dip this lemon sprinkle, take a bite, that is called a refreshing. Now it's hot, sprinkle it with this lemon, and it will be colder and bitter......"
Before Ah Bao's introduction was finished, Jin Facai had already scooped up a bowl and bowed his head and ate it: "Forget about the bitterness, it's still lemon-flavored...... Hey, that tastes pretty good. ”
Ayido was on the side and sniffed: "It's so fragrant, I want to eat it." ”
"Then you can eat~" Jin Facai replied thoughtlessly. I was about to glare at him, only to hear Ayido reply, "No, I've already eaten black incense before." ”
Jin Facai was told by her words, only then did he realize that he had lost his speech for a while, hehe hehe said twice, and continued to eat.
The Haw Par brothers had eaten before, so they sat on the side to help us talk about the customs and customs of Yunnan, and Ayiduo also interjected a few words from time to time, saying something about their Liangshan side, and when we finished eating and cleaned up the mess, I told them first, because I didn't understand the ancient Yi language, so it would take a few days to delay sending Ayiduo back.
Everyone didn't have any opinions, so I didn't say more.
Remembering that the old man wanted to see the spirit talisman on Ayido's chest, he asked her to take it out again for me to take a closer look.
Ayido didn't shy away from it, and opened the collar one more opening, so that I could take a closer look.
Jin Facai and the Haw Par brothers also wanted to come up and take a look, but she actually closed her collar and said, "You are not allowed to look at it~"
Then she bowed her head shyly, and if she were still alive, her face would have been crimson by this time.
The three of them had to retreat stupidly, Jin Facai's brain was active, and he said: "Yo, you're still shy, so that's it, big official, you can take a photo with your mobile phone for us to see." ”
That's right, if I took a photo and sent it directly to the old man, I wouldn't have to explain it again.
"Okay, okay" Ayido clapped his hands excitedly: "I haven't seen myself for more than a year, isn't it terrifying?" ”
"Who said it was pretty!" As I answered, I took out my phone and asked Ayido to reveal the spirit rune, and turned on the camera function against the light.
But when I turned on the camera on my phone, I looked at the screen and shuddered, I completely forgot that she was just a soul, how could the phone take a picture, there was only an empty sofa in the screen, and that's it.
Although he already knew that the poor girl in front of him was a ghost, he didn't feel strange because of this.
But at this time, when the products of modern science that are indifferent remind us of the separation between people and ghosts in this almost ruthless way, a chill still rises from our hearts.
"Like...... Can't shoot. I whispered back and put my phone down.
Ayido was stunned after hearing this, and then lowered his head, his expression was slightly sad, and he pursed his mouth a few times, holding back tears.
There was silence in the room, and the Haw Par brothers and Kim Fa Choi looked at me and then at Ayido.
"It's okay......" Ayido wiped her eyes and joked to herself: "I just suddenly remembered that I used to have a lot of selfies on my phone, and Abba always liked to say that I was stinky and beautiful...... Hehe, now, I can't stink it again...... It's a big deal, I won't shoot it in the future. ”
"I'd better call my dad and tell me about your talisman."
Seeing that everyone was no longer talking, I dialed the old man's mobile phone in order to break the awkward deadlock.
Dad picked up the phone very quickly, probably already waiting for me.
I told him that the spirit rune couldn't take pictures, but I didn't expect him to know it for a long time, so he laughed and said: "Say that you don't usually use work, don't admit it, this ghost can take pictures, so who dares to use a camera?" ”
"That'...... That spirit rune is not a ghost, isn't it still working, it's just a thing, and there is no difference between life and death, not to mention that it is still playing its role now, then it is a real object that exists in reality, why can't it be photographed? "Although I know that there are some strong words, I am still unconvinced.
"Oh, according to you, 'the soul can not be seen, and the inanimate thing can be seen,' is not the clothes she wears, nor the shoes are dead...... Could it be that these clothes and shoes are walking on the street in their own form? ”
The old man said to me in a word, yes, this is the simplest foundation in the Yin and Yang Yi Technique, but when a mortal dies, the shape left behind is the shape of his soul, which I have seen with my own eyes, the appearance of the old loach when he came to the bar to find me on the night of his death, and the appearance of the night of the soul, is the appearance of his last departure.
But then think about it, then according to this, this Ayido was hit with blood all over the ground at that time, presumably because the internal organs were shattered, and the body did not leave too obvious scars, right?
"So, according to that, the spirit rune can't be taken off? All of them have changed with her life? I pressed on.
"Of course not, spirit runes, if they are all mundane, how can they be said to be spirit runes. You see, is there a picture on the front of the thing around her neck, and there are some spell verses or something on it? ”
Following his description, I turned to take a closer look at Ayido's pendant, and when she saw that I was looking closely, she pulled the neckline open a little more and brought it to my eyes.
I looked at the pendant carefully, it looked like a small rectangular box, the top end was rounded, the red rope of the pendant was tied to the end of the arc, and the bottom was flat.
The whole pendant is the size of a matchbox, and the shape is like a standing coffin. The front lid of the box is a little yellow, as if there is an eye engraved, but this eye is not like a human eye, it is very round, more like some kind of animal, around the eye, a few words are engraved from top to bottom, and the text looks like the ancient Yi script. The surrounding edge of the box is a dark purple red.
The material of this pendant is very rare, a bit like beeswax, but it is certainly not.
On the reverse side of the box, there is a large section of text symbols, and there are no graphics at all.
I described the details of it to my dad on the other side of the phone one by one, and when I finished speaking, I didn't see him reply, probably thinking about it.
"Dad? How's that, do you know what it is? How do you know if you take it down? ”
After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, the old man's slightly hesitant voice came: "Could it be ...... No, this thing has been lost for many years, how can it be on the neck of a little girl? ”
"What? What did you say? I heard that he seemed to hesitate, but from these words I felt that this thing had an extraordinary origin, so I hurried to urge him to speak quickly.
"You are now following the front of her box, and the pattern on it is exactly the same as the text, and there can be no omission, take a picture and send it as soon as the picture is drawn, I will hang it up first......"
"Huh? Hey, hey, hey? Before I could reply, the old man hung up the phone.
I heard that his tone was a little different from the usual calm, and I knew that this thing must have a story, so I asked Jin Facai to hand over a pen and paper, and copied it down one by one according to the pendant.
Jin Facai and the tiger and leopard also watched me draw intently, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
After a while, the front and back of the entire pendant have been basically finished, fortunately the university is to study advertising communication, there are several years of art skills, not only the plane drawing carefully, but also with a three-dimensional renderings.
After checking it, I felt that it was basically the same as the real thing, so I took a photo and sent it to the old man.
After about five minutes, the old man called, and when I picked up the phone, I heard the voice on the other end a little excited: "Good boy, you are really blessed by your ancestors, you are really lucky with shit." ”
"What's wrong? What is it? I hurriedly asked, and although I didn't know what it was, my heart beat faster. I always think it should be a very rare ancestral treasure like the Five Elements Jue.
"Are there any outsiders on the side? Find a place where no one is around. The old man lowered his voice.
I felt that something was wrong, so I pretended to stand up slowly, listened to the phone and walked towards the bathroom, pointed to the crotch of my pants, and gestured to go to the toilet, pointing to the crotch of my pants, signaling that I wanted to go to urinate.
"Okay, there's no one left, let's talk about it."
"If this thing in front of you is real, it's a big baby!" The old man still lowered his voice and said, "This is not a spirit rune, but a bird's head box!" ”
