Xiaoru clapped her hands: "When I was in school, our art teacher thought I had art talent, and I always hoped that I could apply for the art major, but after graduating from high school, my family was too poor, and the art major was notoriously expensive, and my younger brother needed tuition, so I didn't continue to go to school and came out to work...... Brother Binzi, how did I draw? ”

Only then did I react and nodded vigorously: "Great!" I didn't expect Xiaoru to be beautiful and have such a high artistic level, this painter is better than ordinary art teachers. ”

Da Jiang scratched his head: "Is there a magic weapon with a human face?" Hey! Binzi, what about this, why are you like losing your soul when Xiaoru comes? Aren't you afraid that Zhou Xiaoqin will clean you up? ”

I gave him a blank look, looked at Mr. Qi and asked, "Mask?" ”

Mr. Qi nodded: "Mask!" ”

Da Jiang was stunned: "What about you two playing dumb riddles?" What mask? ”

I pointed to Xiao Ru's painting: "Isn't there a painting on Xiao Ru, these two pieces are just part of the nose and face, and this thing is a dress mask." A piece of ghost pattern jade is unbearable, if you make a mask made of all ghost pattern jade, how powerful is this thing? Brother Wang has been looking for ghost pattern jade, is it to piece together the mask? How many dollars does this cost? ”

Mr. Qi smiled: "This question has to be asked to Brother Wang." Xiaoru, this painting didn't Brother Wang ask you to paint, right? ”

Xiao Ru suddenly became confused: "What? What does it mean? I don't understand what you're talking about, what kind of ghost pattern jade? I just looked curious, and I thought it was like a static sculpture sketch that we had learned, and I was studying this facial structure a lot at that time. You don't suspect that I was sent by Brother Wang to entertain you, do you? ”

Mr. Qi stopped talking, he lit a cigarette and smoked it, winked at me, and motioned for me to probe Xiaoru's bottom line.

I was a little helpless: "Xiaoru, Brother Wang didn't tell you anything when you came?" ”

Xiaoru shook her head: "I didn't say anything, just let me give you the money." There are no guests here, I'll just play with you for a while, and I'll suffocate inside...... What's the matter, Brother Binzi, are you afraid that I will bring some bad luck to your store? ”

After saying that, she was about to leave, so I grabbed her: "I don't mean that, Xiaoru, don't think about it, we just don't understand what Brother Wang thinks now." ”

For the first time, I knew that people in Xiaoru's profession were more sensitive and had lower self-esteem. A word from someone else may make you think too much. Of course, this is the time to meet friends. When they face customers, they will not be angry no matter what the customer says, after all, it is making money, this is making friends, and it cannot be mixed up.

I once saw a joke on the Internet that said this, people who earn money by their bodies don't like to make friends, because most of the people who make friends with her are for free orders......

It's sad to think about.

Xiao Ru didn't go back, because she saw that Da Jiang was measuring the painting she had just drawn with the measurements. Xiao Ru became curious: "What are you doing here?" ”

Da Jiang smiled: "Is this portrait you painted a standard portrait?" ”

Xiaoru nodded: "What's wrong?" ”

Da Jiang said while busy: "I'll calculate the area and see how many pieces are needed to put it together." ”

A piece of ghost-patterned jade is the size of a jade pendant, slightly larger than a thumb. With this set of the area of a face, it is estimated that it will cost dozens of pieces, after all, the mask has to be slightly larger than the human face.

Mr. Qi looked at Da Jiang's busy work and couldn't help but say, "Don't measure it, you have to get forty-nine yuan." ”

Da Jiang looked at him curiously: "How do you know?" Isn't this thing going to be counted? ”

Mr. Qi glanced at him helplessly: "In the yin and yang gossip, forty-nine is a pole number. There is a cloud in "Zhou Yi": "The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is forty and nine". And the remaining one is the variable. Modern people have evolved this sentence into 'the avenue is fifty, the sky is forty-nine, and people escape one of them'. This emphasizes the uncertainty of the human factor. However, through this sentence, the "Tao Te Ching" in the "Tao Te Ching" in the "life of two, two of three, three of all things" is connected, and the importance of the last variable is more emphasized......"

Before he finished speaking, Da Jiang waved his hand and said, "Lao Qi, don't talk about these crepes, talk about people!" ”

Mr. Qi smiled: "To put it mildly, the number of poles set by heaven is forty-nine, and no matter what magic weapon is, it will not exceed this number." And the person who uses the magic weapon is the one who 'escapes from it'. When magic weapons and people cooperate with each other, they can reach the avenue of heaven and earth, that is, the supreme realm of the unity of man and sword in martial arts novels. But it's not easy to achieve! ”

Da Jiang still had a blank expression, but I understood: "Mr. Qi, forty-nine pieces of ghost pattern jade are put together, but they will die!" Even if there is a gossip jade to protect the body, it can't withstand the evil erosion brought by the ghost pattern jade. In this world, I'm afraid no one can use this kind of jade pendant! ”

Mr. Qi shook his head, looked at me and smiled: "No, there is a kind of person who needs it very much, and the Yang Shi is the opposite of you!" Those born at the time of the Yang Dynasty need to neutralize the vigorous Yang Qi in their bodies with yin and evil things, otherwise they will be in danger of exploding. Binzi, do you understand? ”

I sat on the couch with my butt in my ass: "Brother Wang is looking for this thing for my twin brother?" ”

Mr. Qi sighed: "I'm afraid this is the only one to explain." You are the body of the yin, but Mo Lao has always let you live in the school, and he has not let you fall in love, and you have a group of young men with enough yang energy around you all day long, you are naturally fine. A few days after you graduate from college, you have the Bagua Jade Protector of the Yang Thing blessed by the Masters of the Past Dynasties, plus Zhou Xiaoqin's neutralization, so you are alive and well. But your twin brother is not necessarily, he has to stay in the Netherworld to live. ”

Brother Qiang summed up on the side and said: "The lonely yang is not born, and the lonely yin is not long; Yin and yang are harmonized, and the square is the right way. ”

Da Jiang asked, "What are the places of the most yin?" ”

Mr. Qi lit another cigarette: "Graves, murderous houses, evil places." Anyway, the worst places in feng shui belong to the land of the most yin. Binzi, your brother has not been easy all these years, I'm afraid he hasn't lived in this kind of house for a day......"

I had mixed feelings and didn't know what to say. I am grateful to my master for all that he has done for me, and I am also saddened by what happened to my brother who is a fellow mother. If it had been me who had been kidnapped back then, and he had been with my master, I am afraid that our lives would have been completely different.

Da Jiang suddenly asked a question: "If Brother Wang works so hard for Binzi's brother, then are we still enemies with him?" ”

No one answered him, because we were all confused. If he is working so hard for my own brother, then everything I am doing now is harming him!

Two days ago, I hated the man who made the blood grudge stone, and I longed to cut him with a thousand knives. But when I found out that this man was my own brother, I began to waver. If we do see each other in the future, how will I face him? Showing off your college degree, or do you have to meet a good master and don't have to lie in a coffin to sleep every night?

There was a sudden silence in the room.

None of us said a word, and even Xiaoru remained silent in this strange atmosphere.

Just when I was about to think of a topic to break the silence, the door of the store was suddenly pushed open, and Brother Wang walked in with a bag of things, raised his hand and threw it on the coffee table: "This is the ghost pattern jade I have been looking for all these years, now let you here, the feng shui of this store is good, and it can hold these things." Because of these jades, a lot of people have died, Binzi, don't lose it for me! ”

I looked at Brother Wang, and the hatred for him had long since disappeared in my heart at this time: "Brother Wang, what is your relationship with him?" ”

Brother Wang took a cigarette and cocked the corners of his mouth: "Don't ask about these things, because of you, we have no less hardship, this is his last hope, if you mess up again, I really can't spare you!" ”

Mr. Qi got up and asked, "He's a relative of Binzi, you should tell us, at least let us know which direction to go harder, right?" ”

Brother Wang sneered: "Ho, hard? Let me tell you Lao Qi, that is, because Mo Wentian is standing behind you, killing you is too involved, otherwise they would have killed you many times earlier. We will never be the ones who go all the way, and you will never feel the pain he endured! That's it, farewell! ”

Walking to the door, Brother Wang suddenly turned his face to me and said, "Now there is only the piece on Guo Haitao's body left, as if you know where he is, you can help find the remaining piece." Lao Tzu still has something to do, and he has to leave for a while. Xiaoru, you took the money from me, and you will do less things in the future! ”

With that, he turned and left.

I hurriedly chased outside the door and shouted at Brother Wang's back, "Brother Wang, I want to see him!" ”

Brother Wang didn't reply: "What do you see?" Stay with you. Both of our lives are someone else's, you don't have a fucking mix! If people know that you are still alive in the world, your brothers will immediately be made into yin and yang boys, and then they will become walking corpses without life or death, do you think it is fun? Hurry up and get out, it's annoying to see you! ”

Brother Wang didn't go back to the store, but got into the Wrangler he parked on the side of the road, and disappeared into the street as soon as he stepped on the gas.

I stood in front of the store in a daze, tears streaming down my face. I wanted to help him, but I didn't know where to start.

Mr. Qi patted me on the shoulder: "Binzi, everything is fate, I believe you will meet him one day." ”

I nodded, "I know, our brothers will definitely meet one day." Let's look for Guo Haitao again tomorrow, no matter what method we use, we must find that piece of ghost pattern jade! ”

Mr. Qi said, "Let's go in first, don't stick here." ”

I went back to the store and took a sip of water. I thought that Xiaoru would be uncomfortable when she was scolded by Brother Wang, but who knew that she was playing with her mobile phone with interest now. I opened my mouth and didn't speak.

Everyone is an adult, how naïve is it to be angry because of someone else's words?

Just as I was about to go back to bed, Xiaoru suddenly took her mobile phone and said to me: "Ah, big news! Brother Binzi, the city police team has just salvaged a corpse from the river, and the certificate of the corpse shows that this person seems to be called Guo Haitao, who was the richest man in the past......"
