The Sacred Spring Chapter 5: The Three Tigers (1)

The bull's eye, which had just taken the mink man's mind, suddenly moved, and rolled unhurriedly towards my feet with a low "buzzing" sound. I quickly moved a step to the left, but I didn't expect it to follow me as if it knew the way. I tried to take two more steps to the right, but it was still stalking, and I was sweating profusely. This pearl master, it seems that we are meeting for the first time, right? Can you be a little more reserved and stop running behind my ass?

Seeing that the beads were about to come to me, the others craned their necks to watch the show on my side. My heart is down, isn't his grandmother's just a broken bead, can you still eat Lao Tzu? Bent down and clutched the bull's eye in his hand.

At first, I only felt hot, like grabbing the hairy chestnuts in the fire, but later I realized that it was because the beads were too cold that the pain similar to a cold burn would occur.

I clenched my bull's eyes and looked around warily. I'm afraid that something unclean will suddenly pop out of the corner. I have a way to deal with Zongzi, but I have never fought with the Ghost Monster in broad daylight. It's a pity that my "Sixteen Characters Feng Shui Secret Technique" is a remnant book, and only the second half of "Feng Shui" can't understand the mystery of the first half of "Yin and Yang". Otherwise, no matter what kind of bull, ghost, snake and god you are, you will be knocked down and afraid of a ball.

To embolden myself, I took a deep breath and sat down in the center of the inner hall. At first I didn't think anything was wrong, but then he laughed more and more, and even his gums were exposed, and his whole mouth was eager to be torn to the back of his ears, and at last his laughter shook people's ears like a tiger's roar.

I hurriedly reached out to cover my ears, and without paying attention, the bull's eye fell to the ground with a "bang". As soon as the beads hit the ground, they immediately revealed a crisp green like a lake, and I was thinking about whether to pick it up, but I saw a row of sharp steel teeth quickly emerging from Boss Sang's original old tooth bed, I rubbed my eyes to make sure that this was not a dream, and saw Boss Sang's upper arms bent forward, his waist bulging, and a layer of thick hair on his exposed skin, like an old ape squatting on the Taishi chair, staring at me with bad intentions.

I didn't dare to slack off, so I picked up the bench at hand and wanted to make self-defense equipment. But when I got the bench, I realized that something was wrong, why did the others disappear? In the empty inner hall, in addition to me and the hairy Sang boss, why did the original guests, bamboo poles, and the fainted mink old man all disappear? Looking at the bull's eye on the ground, a bold thought suddenly popped up in my heart.

In order not to alarm the old ape, I leaned down and tried to shrink my body to show that I was no threat to him. As soon as I moved, the old ape immediately opened his bloody mouth and jumped off the Taishi's chair. I didn't think much of it, so I rolled on the spot and threw myself towards the bull's eyeball. The old ape, as if very frightened of my possession of the beads, stretched out his arms and ran towards me with a howl of ghosts and wolves. As soon as the fingertip of my right hand touched the bull's eyeball, before I could hold it in my hand, the old ape had already descended from the sky and pulled me up, and a steel tooth that cut bones and tendons poked into my right shoulder, and finally I only heard a muffled sound of broken bones, and my eyes were black, and the whole person fainted in pain.

In a daze, I heard bursts of applause, as if someone was pushing me, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on the ground, and the guests in the inner hall gave me a thumbs up. I looked down and saw that the bull's eye was well held in my hand, and the old man Sang had not turned into a monster, and was leisurely drinking tea at the moment. When he saw me wake up, he whispered a few words to the bamboo pole, and the bamboo pole kept nodding. It was as if I had just had a nightmare, and I couldn't tell what was true and what was false, so I hurriedly touched my right shoulder with my hand, only to feel a sore feeling, but I didn't touch the hole. It seems that the demonization of Old Man Sang into an old ape is indeed just my hallucination, and the culprit of a qiē is the bull's eye bead in my hand, but I don't know what the origin of this bead is.

The bamboo pole invited the rest of the guests out of the gate according to the old man's wishes. Turning around again, he took out a withered lone claw from his bosom, and used it to carefully pick up the bull's eye on the ground and put it in the box. At first, I felt that the lone claw was very disgusting, and I suspected that it was a severed limb taken from the old zongzi, but then after pondering it again, I remembered the allusion I heard from the big gold tooth when I was practicing in Panjiayuan, this lone claw that looked like a dry bone was nothing else, it was a thousand-year-old jade.

Jade has always been loved by emperors and magnates, and literati and elegant guests often describe themselves as white jade, seeing it as a symbol of purity and integrity. The burial goods in the ancient tomb are ten pottery and nine jade, and judging the age of the jade has become a science, and the people and soil are five hundred years old, and the jade body is loose and refreshed; For thousands of years, jade is like gypsum; Two thousand years like dry bones; Three thousand years rotten as lime; As for the six-thousand-year-old jade, they are all ancient artifacts, and they are not out of the world. The lone claw of the bamboo pole used to take the beads is an ancient jade with a history of 2,000 years, the texture is loose, the jade is not exhausted, the light yì can not be touched, and the jade body will peel off and break away if there is a slight stumble.

After all the twists and turns, I understand that this Sang boss is definitely not an ordinary character, not to mention the fierce gods and evil gods who came to the door to appreciate the treasure just now, just that ancient jade lone claw is already a priceless national treasure-level antique.

"Do you know where this orb came from?" This is the first time that Mr. Sang has looked at me squarely, and I don't dare to make a mistake in front of the big experts, so I replied without humility or arrogance: "According to what the younger generations have seen, the dragon ball that Mr. Sang has hidden must have a great background, and it is not the same as those small glass marbles on the market." This pearl is extremely cold by nature, and has a blue light through the body. I dared to guess that if it wasn't for the body protection pill hidden in the belly of the deep sea old turtle, it would have been solidified and condensed from the feng shui eyes of the Lingshan River. ”

What I said was actually a big cliché, and it sounded pleasing to the ear, but in fact, there was no real thing, and he couldn't pick fault if he wanted to. But if the old man had to say that this bead popped out of Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace, then I really had no choice but to resign myself to his fate.

Old Man Sang seemed to have expected that I would not be able to come up with a reason, so he picked up the wooden box with a sense of accomplishment and said, "The old man sees that you are also a little bit of a pound, and you are a brat who can be edified." It's not like those mediocre talents who are short-sighted. Since there is fate, you might as well tell you the origin of this thing, so as not to question the old man's means in your heart. ”

I quickly smiled at the old man and put on a humble and studious appearance. When I listened closely, I couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that this thing has a very big origin, and the stakes are more complicated than I imagined.

The old man Sang was sipping tea while reminiscing about the past, and the story began with an anecdote in "Youyang Miscellaneous". According to legend, there is an ancient temple in Jingzhou, called Zhiqi Temple. There is a high monk in the temple, and the Dharma name is that Zhao. According to the master's miraculous skills, he can see the aura on the body of a hundred beasts in the night, and he can recognize one by one. The one that is long and swaying is the deer; The light is against the ground, and it is the rabbit that flashes and disappears; It's the tiger that is low and doesn't move, and so on. Master Zhao marked the animals of the whole mountain, just like the ID cards we use now. As soon as he saw the light, he knew what kind of animal had come up to the temple to steal food again.

One night, Master Nazhao suffered from insomnia, probably because of the recent bad harvest, and he only drank a little porridge for dinner, and was awakened by the gluttonous worms in his stomach. When I passed by the place where the disciples were resting, I found that the little bald donkeys had not slept well, and they woke up hungry and did not dare to be discovered by the master, so they were all covered in the quilt and whispered. Nazhao's heart was sour, and he felt that he was not in charge of the house, so he thought about going to the back mountain to find some fruit to satisfy the hunger of the old and young in the temple. In ancient times, there were guns, cannons, and atomic bombs. If you want to grab food from the mouths of the beasts on the mountain, you are killing yourself without any real ability. However, Master Nazhao has miraculous skills and is good at bending bows, and does not take danger in his eyes.

Originally, a qiē was quite smooth, that Zhao picked a basket of fruits, by the way picked up half a basket of firewood, just missed a sentence of Amitabha, in order to show gratitude to the Buddha, unexpectedly, three rapid green lights floated in the woods. Then take a closer look at the number, it's broken, it's time for him to be unlucky to run into the king of beasts, the big worm. The big insect walks at night, and it must be three of them going together, and in the middle is the leader of the mountain king, and on both sides are the guards, so as to show its tiger might. Without thinking too much, the bow was bent and shot sharply, and an arrow shot the big insect at the head. Today, this is a crime to hunt and kill wild animals, and the old monk should be imprisoned, but at that time, it was a great good deed for the people to eliminate harm and benefit the people. After the people under the mountain heard about this, the incense of Zhiqi Temple suddenly became vigorous, and the little monks were able to eat enough, and the abbot was very happy, but he never thought that his arrow that day almost killed the lives of the whole village.
