Chapter 4: The Blood Buddha
"Yo, Haisheng, don't you have to go to class today? Why do you have time to wander around Uncle Zhao's shop. "Lao Zhao's eyes are sharp, and he spotted me as soon as I stepped in with my front foot.
I smiled, teased his little grandson twice, and said to him straight to the point: "Uncle Zhao, do you have a good Maoshan jade here, I want to buy one." ”
"What's wrong, did Master Wang call you here? Did he take jade to refine something? Lao Zhao raised his head and asked suspiciously
I hurriedly waved my hand and said no, I explained to him that it was just a whim of mine, and I couldn't help but want to buy a piece of jade to wear.
Lao Zhao said Okay, you wait a minute, I'll find it for you. With that, he put the child on a chair beside him and walked into a small room in the shop.
The small room resembled a stocked warehouse, and no one was allowed to enter the shop except the owner.
Idle and bored, I wandered around his shop twice, looking around at these strange cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, although I was a stunned young man who didn't know anything, but it felt quite comfortable to wander around like this.
Within two minutes, Lao Zhao came out of the small house, and when I saw him come out, I followed him back to the desk at the door.
Lao Zhao opened the quaint box, pointed to the three jade pendants on three sides and said to me: "Just pick one piece, the materials of these three pieces are all good." ”
Three jade pendants, one is fish-shaped, one is tiger-shaped, and the other is a small flower carved around the jade pendant, and the craftsmanship is the best piece of the three jade pendants. After thinking about it, I pointed to this piece of flower jade and said, "It's him." ”
The reason why I chose this piece of jade is not because of its good craftsmanship, the evil spirit of the tiger-shaped jade is too heavy, and I don't like to eat fish.
Lao Zhao wrapped up the patterned jade and handed it to me. After paying, I had a casual chat with him.
Looking at my watch, it was already close to afternoon, this jade pendant still had to be refined before it could be used, and I also wanted Murong Jiajia to come out as soon as possible. So I said goodbye to Lao Zhao, turned around and prepared to go home.
Bang, as soon as I turned around, I hit an unknown object head-on, I covered my forehead and hissed softly, and I heard a man in my ear constantly apologizing to me.
It hurt, but I thought that maybe he didn't mean it, and I was relieved. I was about to tell him that it didn't matter, but when I opened my eyes, I was stunned by the scene I saw.
It was a young man about my age, very thin, with almost sunken cheeks. If I had to describe this young man's figure in one sentence, it would be like a piece of paper, which can be gently knocked over when blown by the wind.
What struck me as strange was that there seemed to be a substance-like black aura spreading around the corners of his eyes. When he looked up, I was taken aback when I saw his appearance clearly. There is indeed such a black gas from the fishtail into the eyes, this black gas can not be seen by others, only the Taoist priest who has opened the spiritual eye can see clearly.
And about this phenomenon, it has also been mentioned in the photo book: "The fishtail phase is drawn into the Taiyin, and the wandering soul is indefinite and death is coming." "The meaning is very simple, if a person's face, fishtail and eyes are blackened, or if there is a black gas from the fish's tail to the eyes, the master will be in a state of flux, and soon the soul will return to the underworld.
When I was stunned, the young man quickly took out an item from his arms, stuffed it into Lao Zhao's hand, and said anxiously: "Lao Zhao, you can take a look for me and see how much this thing can be used for." As he spoke, the young man skimmed the outside of the store out of the corner of his eye, like a thief.
Lao Zhao's shop not only sells things, but also collects things, usually if someone takes something to pawn here, whether it is true or false or whether the business is successful or not, Lao Zhao will treat it with a smile.
However, this time it was strange, the young man stuffed things into Lao Zhao's hands, and Lao Zhao pushed them back directly without looking at them, and directly gave the eviction order.
"Don't accept it, don't accept it, the things you ruffian Li brought, no matter how valuable it is, my old Zhao can't afford it."
The young man named Ruffian Li was anxious, and begged Lao Zhao and said: "You old man just take a look, even if it's a glance, this is definitely a good thing," Immediately, the young man changed his words and continued to beg Lao Zhao: "Otherwise, I'll put things here, and your old man can borrow some money for relief." ”
"...... If you don't leave, I'll call the police right away. Lao Zhao gave an ultimatum.
From their pushing, a small corner opened in the cloth holding such an object, which seemed to be a red and transparent jade pendant, but this piece of jade made my heart skip a beat.
"Wait a minute, let me see if there are any good things first, I'm about to buy two jade pendants to give away." Seeing that the ruffian Li was about to leave with his things, I hurriedly opened my mouth to stop him.
As soon as the ruffian Li heard that I had the intention of talking about business with him, he quickly turned around, put his arm on my shoulder and said excitedly: "This brother, I know that you are a person with vision as soon as I look at you, come, let's go inside and talk carefully." ”
I couldn't help but say, the ruffian Li pulled me into the shop in a panic, Lao Zhao was just about to open his mouth to stop me, but I was stopped by a quiet wave of my hand, I also want to know what this ruffian Li is wrapping in, where does this feeling that makes my heart beat come from.
After pulling me to a secret place, the ruffian Lee quietly opened the black cloth so that I could see what was inside.
As soon as the black cloth was opened, what was revealed in front of me was a jade pendant of Maitreya Buddha with a big belly, squinting small eyes and smiling. However, it was such a piece of blood Buddha that looked harmless to humans and animals that made me gasp instantly.
"Tomb ......" I frowned, and these two words involuntarily came to my mind.
A tomb, as the name suggests, is a funerary object in a tomb. In the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, a large number of tombs flowed out of the market. Because that period was the most active time period for the Tufuzi, moving mountains and unloading mountains, touching blonde hills, and emerging endlessly. It's just that these tombs that flowed out of the market with the excavation of Tufuzi are not necessarily priceless good things, on the contrary, they are likely to be deadly poisons that will take your life.
Like the urn in Old Man Chen's house last time, the burial goods in the tomb are even more evil, some are not only contaminated with the filth in the tomb, but also easily entered by the spirits derived from the tomb, or are eroded by the yin qi, resulting in spiritual wisdom.
"You tell me...... Where did you come from, the Blood Buddha? I grabbed the ruffian Lee's hand and asked solemnly
The ruffian Li smiled and said, "This jade...... It's from my family. His eyes rolled slightly, and the ruffian Li thought of such an excuse to cover up.
I smiled coldly and warned him, "You'd better tell me how this Blood Buddha came from, or you're about to be in trouble." "The Blood Buddha is full of terrifying evil energy, which is not something that ordinary people can resist at all. If this ruffian Li still dies and does not repent, it will not be long before he will definitely return to the underworld.
But I didn't expect that the ruffian Li would be wrong about me, he thought that the catastrophe I said was coming because I recognized the origin of this blood Buddha and was about to call the police to arrest him.
So he took my hand away, pushed me hard, and scolded: "Fuck you"
I fell on the shelf on the side and was helped up by Lao Zhao, who rushed to hear the news.
"If they tell you not to meddle in your business, you won't listen, these addicts are inhumane, and their things are unacceptable." Lao Zhao complained while helping me.
It wasn't until this time that I didn't know the identity of this ruffian Li, and it turned out that he had smoked white powder. It's just that this Blood Buddha left in his hands is a scourge after all, and if he really sells it, it will only harm more people. It's good to say that you killed the bad guys, but what if you kill the good guys?
Although I am not a decent gentleman, I am not as pedantic as a fat man. But seeing good people being innocently given their lives makes me cry and sad.
Thinking of this, I didn't care about the pain in my legs, so I asked Lao Zhao's address of the ruffian Li. In Lao Zhao's shop, he took cinnabar yellow paper and drew a few slashing charms to ward off evil spirits, and chased him out towards the door.
When I chased out of the door, the ruffian Li had disappeared, but fortunately Lao Zhao knew his address, and Lao Zhao said that the ruffian Li's home was in Dongtian Street, two streets away, and there was an alley on the left corner of Dongtian Street, and his home was very conspicuous, next to the public toilet that entered the alley.
