Chapter 195: Moyu Pavilion
What a shadow! It flapped its wings and flew over my shoulder, calling twice with a "whoa-wow".
Seeing the shadow, I was surprised and delighted, Wen Qingshan and the cheap didn't know where the shadow had gone these days, and the cheap joked: "This bird is finally back, I thought it was beaten down by others as a snack!" β
As soon as the cheap spoken, the dark shadow suddenly spread its wings, stared at him and shouted "wow" a few times, its posture seemed to be warning the cheap.
Wen Qingshan said with a smile: "The shadow is a spirit bird, it can understand human speech, you say it, be careful that it pecks you." β
The cheap stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say anything more.
At this time, I suddenly found that on Shadow's left leg, a roll of white paper about the thickness of the chopsticks was tied with a red rope, although the note I had passed to Ghost Eye Chen was also a white paper, but it was tied to Shadow's right leg, and it was folded into a strip of paper, so it seems that this is most likely Ghost Eye Chen's answer to me.
In order to prevent Wen Qingshan and the cheap from seeing the note on the shadow leg, I hurriedly held the shadow in my arms and secretly untied the note on its leg.
I took the excuse to go to the bathroom, slipped back to the room alone, and spread out the note to see that there was only one line of words on it: Tomorrow, see you in the Moyu Pavilion on the antique street.
Antique Street Moyu Pavilion? I seem to have seen this name before, but I don't often go to the antique street, so I can't remember which one it is, but fortunately, the antique street is not far from us, and it's just that street, so I'll look for it tomorrow.
The next morning, I found an excuse to sneak out the door and headed straight for the antique street.
After entering the street, I walked only twenty or thirty meters further, and I saw the Moyu Pavilion mentioned in the note, which is an ancient building with blue bricks and black tiles, and the plaque of the shop pΓΉ looks a little strange, generally hanging gold-lettered signboards, but the signboard of this shop is black on a white background, but the words Moyuge are vigorous and powerful.
I walked straight into the store, looked around, and saw that it was a jade shop, and there were all kinds of jade objects, including ornaments, toys, pendants, bracelets, rings, and so on. But without exception, all of them are made of black jade.
This can't help but surprise me a little, although I am not very good at jade, but I have also heard Niu Fat Man introduce, black jade belongs to the non-mainstream varieties of jade, generally used to ward off evil spirits, in the general jade business shop, black jade products are often placed in the most inconspicuous corner, and like this shop pΓΉ specializing in black jade, I am afraid that there is such a one in the world.
Business is naturally not much better in such a non-mainstream store, there is not a single customer in the store, only a guy who is doing nothing and playing with his mobile phone.
I settled down, walked over to the counter, raised my hand and knocked on the counter a few times.
The guy glanced up at me and asked unhurriedly, "What are you going to buy?" β
"I don't buy anything."
"Why don't you come in without buying something?" The man's tone was a little resentful, as if he was unhappy that I had interrupted him on his phone.
I didn't expect to meet such a guy, no wonder the business in this store would be so deserted, and I didn't want to talk to people like him, so I just said lightly: "I'm looking for your boss!" β
When I heard that I was looking for their boss, the guy stared at me for a while, turned his head and shouted, "Boss, someone is looking for you!" β
After a while, a closed wooden door by the counter was opened, and a man came out of the back room, this man was five big and three thick, with a face full of flesh, and a scar on his face that extended from the corner of his eye to his chin, which was more than ten centimeters long.
I thought about it carefully, and I didn't remember the face very much. I couldn't help muttering in my heart, Ghost Eye Chen asked me to come to Moyu Pavilion to find him, but now such a master has come out, could it be that I am in the wrong place?
I was wondering when the meaty-faced boss spoke, "What are you looking for me?" His tone was almost as cold as the guys in his shop.
I didn't know how to answer him for a moment, and I said, "I...... I ......, yes...... Someone asked me to come ......"
Before I could finish my sentence, the boss interrupted me and coldly dropped a sentence: "Come in!" With that, he turned and went back to the back room.
I was stunned for a moment, what's the situation? I didn't even finish who asked me to come and he let me in, what if I made a mistake?
After a moment's hesitation, I decided to go in and have a look, and followed me through the door.
This is a miscellaneous room of about ten square meters, which is full of all kinds of miscellaneous items. In the corner of the miscellaneous room, there is a wooden staircase leading to the second floor, and the shopkeeper is standing at the top of the staircase, saying with a blank face: "They are waiting for you upstairs, go up." β
I glanced at the top of the stairs, and then at the guy with a meaty face in front of me, and I couldn't help but feel a little weak in my heart, and said secretly: This guy doesn't look like a good person at all, can't this be a trap?
I was hesitating whether to go up when a familiar voice came from upstairs: "Brother Shi Yu, come up!" β
It's Ghost Eye Chen!
It turned out that I was in the wrong place, and after thanking the owner, I walked up the stairs briskly to the second floor.
When I went upstairs, I saw two familiar figures at a glance, it was Ghost Eye Chen and Lin Guangyuan, who were sitting in front of a dark red solid wood coffee table and sipping tea.
I hurriedly clenched my fists and arched my hands: "Old Man Lin, Uncle Chen!" β
Seeing me coming, Ghost Eye Chen turned his head to look at me, pointed his hand at an empty chair beside him, and said, "Brother Shiyu, come and sit here!" β
I walked over and sat down, and he took out an empty teacup and placed it in front of me, and while he was about to pour me tea, he said, "Come, come, try this superb Longjing." β
As soon as I heard the best Longjing, I immediately thought of the Shifeng Longjing that Lu Yufeng greeted me and Wen Qingshan to drink, and hurriedly waved my hand and said, "I'm not interested in this thing, you can drink it!" β
Ghost Eye Chen knew what I was worried about, and said with a smile: "Hehe, it seems that you still have a psychological shadow when you were tricked last time!" But such a good tea, you won't quit in the future, isn't this a waste of food because of choking! β
After he finished speaking, he poured me a full cup of tea despite my objections, and a refreshing aroma of tea immediately came to my nose.
Although I was extremely reluctant, it was difficult to be warm, and if I didn't drink it, it would be as if I didn't trust Ghost Eye Chen, so I had to pick up the teacup, take a sip helplessly, and then hurriedly divert the topic and asked, "Uncle Chen, why did you find such a place to meet me?" β
Ghost Eye Chen didn't answer, but turned his head to look at Lin Guangyuan, who had never spoken, and finally spoke: "I found this place, the owner of this shop is my apprentice, surnamed Han Mingti, who originally also practiced evil arts, but I almost went mad, I saved him, in order to drain the evil poison in his body, I stabbed him in the face, and his facial muscles became rigid because of this, so he always looked expressionless." β
Hearing Lin Guangyuan say this, I suddenly realized, no wonder this guy's expression is so indifferent, it turns out that he can't make any other expressions at all.
After Lin Guangyuan finished talking about the shopkeeper, he changed his words and asked me, "You said you suffered a drought?" β
I hurriedly nodded: "That's right! Moreover, these days, we have also found some clues about the life of this drought. β
"Oh? So tell me, what's going on? β
I told Lin Guangyuan and Ghost Eye Chen the cause and effect of the incident as it was, and after listening to me, Lin Guangyuan showed a look of shock on his face, and he was stunned for a while before he said slowly: "So, you have found the Tomb of the Evil God?" β
I didn't know what the Tomb of the Evil God was, so I asked, "What is the Tomb of the Evil God?" β
Lin Guangyuan didn't answer me, but asked rhetorically: "You just said that it is recorded in the history books that Lord Qianlong once gave Chen Zhonghao a secret decree, so do you know what the real content of this secret decree is?" β
I shook my head: "There is no detailed record in this book, but according to our analysis, it is possible that he was looking for a site for the palace in Xiangsha to help Qianlong." β
"Hehe, you only know one but don't know the other, in fact, helping Qianlong find a site for the palace is just to hide people's eyes, the real purpose of his trip to Xiangsha is to find a Tai Chi ** to build a tomb of the evil god."
"Tomb of the Evil God!?" I was completely confused, "Old Man Lin, what exactly is the Tomb of the Evil God?" β
Lin Guangyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and told me.
In the 40th year of Qianlong, the Tibetan Jinchuan Tusi paid tribute to Qianlong Ye a piece of natural strange stone one meter high, this stone is black all over, but if placed under the strong light, you can see the blood-colored red light in it. Moreover, if this stone is placed in a pitch-black environment, it can emit red light on its own, it is very magical, at the beginning, Qianlong Ye loved it very much, and specially ordered people to place this stone in the heart of the palace, who knew that after half a month, Qianlong suddenly got a disease, his body deteriorated, and the imperial doctor in the palace concentrated on consultation, and failed to find out the cause, after taking the medicine, not only did not get better in the slightest, but became more and more strict. Just when the imperial doctors were helpless, a Taoist priest who was originally invited into the palace to pray for the queen mother revealed the cause of Qianlong's illness, and he told everyone that the strange stone placed in the Heart Cultivation Hall was not an ordinary stone, but an evil stone that sealed the soul of the evil demon. As long as this stone is removed and recuperated with ginseng zhi, within seven days, Qianlong Ye will be cured.
At the beginning, everyone didn't believe what the Taoist priest said, but they couldn't find the cause, so they had to follow what the Taoist priest said, moved the strange stone out of the heart cultivation hall, and used ginseng zhi to supplement, who knew that it was really as the Taoist priest said, but three days later, Qianlong's illness had basically disappeared, and his body had recovered a lot, and on the seventh day, he completely recovered his former complexion.
