Chapter 9 Xingqi Jade Peiming

Outside the window, a light snow drifted softly on the window lattice. The winter in Yangju City is not very cold, the snow is intermittent, and the river never freezes. Dou Qiuyu stretched out his hand and picked up a handful of snow on the windowsill, the snow was warm and moist, refreshing and cool. Suddenly, there was an urgent footstep sound in the corridor, and Dou Qiuyu knew that it was Su Yu when he heard it, only to see him push the door with burning eyebrows, and hurriedly asked for the jade pendant, and described it in two sentences. Su Yu has grown up with countless jade pendants, and he can't recognize them, but Dou Qiuyu only smiled, as if he was confident, he knew which piece he wanted, turned around and went to a hidden place to open a secret room, and after a while, he took out a brocade box.

Su Yu was anxious to open it and take a look, and an ancient and humble jade pendant was lying quietly on it. Su Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly held it in his hand and kissed it a few times. Looking at the smiling Dou Qiuyu in a blink of an eye, he couldn't help grinning, he was extremely glad that he had such a long-term vision, a mother who knew the slightest and took care of herself.

Dou Qiuyu saw Su Yu happily turning away, as if she had just seen this jade at the 100-day banquet twenty-one years ago, and her thoughts couldn't help but drift.

I remember that at the 100-day banquet that day, the crowd was full of voices and staggered. Many distinguished guests from the north and south came to congratulate one by one.

In business, the most important thing is to have a good relationship. They participated in the 100-day banquet, firstly, to congratulate Su Cheng on the joy of making Zhang, and secondly, to witness the next generation of heirs of the Su family in Yangzhou City. These wealthy businessmen are very shrewd, where would they miss such an opportunity. Moreover, it is also a rare event for the predators from the north and south to gather together, and they each lead the juniors in their families to meet one by one, and communicate with each other, not to mention the meaning of the 100-day ceremony.

Dou Qiuyu was deeply impressed, and Chen Zhenli, a local tyrant from southern Fujian, took out a brocade box from his cuffs, which contained a pair of warm black pearls the size of a child's fist, which caused a burst of surprise from those present. She and Su Cheng had a wide range of knowledge, but they had never seen such treasures, and they were very happy for a while. Originally, she thought that this was the rarest of the guest gifts, but unexpectedly, a merchant who claimed to be the Northern Tianji Pavilion gave a pair of jade dolls. This jade doll is crystal clear, but the size of a thumb, but the hair is visible, simple and cute, vivid. In particular, the eyes are clear and smart, and the carving is very expressive. Everyone who saw it at the table seemed to be able to hear the childlike joy of the dolls' frolicking and laughing. Everyone was amazed, and they circulated to each other for a while, attracting praise and praise for the pair of black pearls at any time.

Only Xiao Suyu kept writhing in Dou Qiuyu's arms, and seemed to be very uneasy. Mother and son are heart-to-heart, Dou Qiuyu is also bored for no reason when she looks at this pair of superb jade carving dolls. The woman is careful and sensitive, and always feels that this jade doll is too realistic, contrary to the number of days, and is afraid that it will be ominous, so she has the heart to refuse this gift. Helplessly, the audience sighed that the gifts were expensive, Su Cheng also admired and watched, and Dou Qiuyu felt that it would hurt his feelings to resign rashly. In desperation, I only felt that the emotional reaction of the little Su fish in my arms was very strong, and I was anxious not to know what to do, but then I heard a voice from far and near, saying:

"Slow, slow. The old man has a treasure to offer his son. Child, your mother called it, and you haven't returned yet!"

With just one sentence, Dou Qiuyu felt that his body and mind were relieved, and the original uneasiness was greatly alleviated. The Su Yu in his arms also quieted down, but his eyes widened, and he continued to look around.

Dou Qiuyu took a look, and it turned out to be an uninvited old man with a clear appearance, and he was also clamoring to offer treasures; But Su Cheng is open-minded, where do you care about these. The old man didn't salute her or Su Cheng, but only looked at Xiao Suyu and smiled:

"You doll, you have taken advantage of the old farmer. ”

Dou Qiuyu looked at him, and took out a strange-looking jade pendant from his cuffs. When Xiao Suyu saw it, he was very happy, giggled, and stretched out his hand to ask for it. As soon as Dou Qiuyu saw this jade, the depression in his heart was swept away, and he couldn't help but have a good feeling in his heart. The guest who offered the jade doll was very dissatisfied when he saw the old man take out the jade pendant, and sneered:

"With this thing, since you dare to interrupt me to offer a treasure to my son?"

The old man smiled but did not say a word, and only put the jade pendant into Xiao Suyu's hand, which made him very happy. At this time, I suddenly heard a "pop", and the pair of jade dolls fell to the ground and shattered. At this time, it was the wealthy businessman in southern Fujian who was admiring and playing, and when the doll fell, he was dumbfounded. Seeing this, the Tianji Pavilion that offered the treasure turned pale. It seems that this pair of dolls is very valuable, and it is also a treasure of considerable weight in the eyes of Tianji Pavilion. Everyone in the hall suddenly complained: This kind of treasure, how can you compensate for the damage to others, and they all glared angrily at the businessman. Chen Zhenli opened his mouth and defended:

"This jade doll can move ...... by itself"

Where did anyone believe him when he said this? Everyone said that because the carving was very vivid, the illusion confused the mind for a while. If the big mistake has been made, don't defend it, and make compensation happily.

Only Dou Qiuyu knew that unconsciously, there was a warm current flowing from the old man's jade pendant to him through the fish, and he only felt very refreshed, and then the laughter of the doll in his ears stopped abruptly, and then he heard the sound of breaking, which must not be accidental. When Dou Qiuyu realized something, he turned to look at the old man, but he was no longer there.

Su Cheng was busy dealing with the chaos at the table, and he didn't have time to take care of it. Few people realized when the old man had left. From beginning to end, only their mother and son seemed to have sensed it in the audience, and everyone else didn't seem to notice it, so Dou Qiuyu was not easy to talk about, maybe it was an illusion. Dou Qiuyu thought again: Tianji Pavilion is kind to offer treasures, but now that the baby is broken, the mood is naturally not good. If there is another incident because of her personal perception, it will be unsensible. So he buried this matter in his heart, and even Su Cheng never mentioned it.

But since this time, Dou Qiuyu felt that this jade was extraordinary, and the old man was expected to be a master. Therefore, when Su Yu was clamoring to stay with the new trend of thought and refused to bring jade, Dou Qiuyu kept an eye on it and quietly collected it.

Dou Qiuyu sighed lightly, what he did at the beginning was just a mother's intuition, and today I saw that this demon king of the mixed world was in a hurry to ask for it, thinking about the bizarre and strange things in the house recently, I think it can be of great use. She couldn't help but smile.

And Su Yu returned to the room, proudly hanging the Qi Jade Peiming around his neck, the treasure jade was as warm as smoke, like a stream of air gradually transmitting through the heart to all the meridians of the body. This feeling of déjà vu made him surprised and delighted, and sighed,

"Sure enough, it's a treasure!"

Seeing Su Yu's expression, Jiang Lin smiled,

"That's natural, otherwise you think that you can destroy my Linjiang mirror by stepping on two feet casually as a sick seedling? It's not because you have worn the Qi Jade Peiming for a long time!"

Su Yu remembered his nonsense that he didn't know the height of the sky. took other people's babies and went to other people's babies, and couldn't help but blush with embarrassment. I thought about it again, I don't know if this mirror can be repaired.

Jiang Lin's attention didn't seem to be on these two treasures, and he didn't hold on to this matter, but continued the above words.

"Next, you can guess it. The God of Wealth Temple is like controlling you, the heir, and if you can't do it, you have another plan. All of this comes from your father taking home someone who shouldn't have been brought home. ”

Su Yu knew that he was talking about Han Yuzhi. Wait for the following.

"Your father vigorously cultivated Han Yuzhi, and Han Yuzhi quickly came to prominence. The God of Wealth Temple decided to attack Han Yuzhi, control Han Yuzhi, and then get rid of your father and son, and let Han Yuzhi take over the Su family. It just so happened that Han Yuzhi was already envious of your family background and status, and she hated it for a long time, and she hit it off with the God of Wealth Temple, which couldn't be more coincidental. And this latter move, my master can't even think of breaking his head. In order to prevent my master from ruining the plan again, the God of Wealth Temple committed crimes in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River, so that he had no time to pay attention to it.

On the other hand, I have to wait patiently for you to become an adult, and then when the master's secret technique is broken, he will kill you and snatch the Qi Jade Peiming. Who knows that you are a young and stupid young man, and if you are not willing to wear a jade pendant, you have to stay in the ocean, and by coincidence, this piece of Qi jade pendant is very friendly with you, along with the master's secret technique, it is all one with you, and the God of Wealth Temple did not realize that the jade pendant was not on you. When you reach adulthood, although the secret art is broken, it is far away in the West, and the hands and feet of the God of Wealth Temple are not so long.

Therefore, after you return to China, as soon as they make a move, they will be separated from the forbidden arts, ordinary ghost tricks, and they can't break the breath left by the jade pendant at all. They didn't succeed in killing you, nor did they find the whereabouts of the Qi Jade Peiming. That's why you're always alive and getting into trouble. ”

Hearing this, Su Yu picked up the jade pendant again and looked at it carefully, and smirked.

"The next thing is about you and me.

Warlords are fighting, and countless refugees have fled. The people of the Temple of Wealth took the opportunity to plunder the essence of the refugees, and there were too many dead people anyway, and no one noticed. But how can he hide it from the master? The master fought many masters of the God of Wealth Temple with the strength of one person in Pingguangyuan, and killed most of them. The God of Wealth Temple hated my master so much that he hated itchy, and he besieged my master many times, but he couldn't succeed, so he set up a poisonous plan to harm my master.

One day, Master met a refugee who was physically strong, but his eyes were glazed over, as if he had been invaded by a ghost. Seeing that his family was crying pitifully, the master was moved by compassion and went into the man's sea of knowledge to investigate. Who would have thought that this person was already a puppet of the God of Wealth Temple, and there was a forbidden trap in the sea of knowledge. The master's spirit was hit hard, and the God of Wealth Temple took the opportunity to besiege it, and the master was defeated and fled, and was hunted down and killed all the way. In the end, he disguised himself as a refugee, hid in the army, and relied on the murderous spirit of the army to escape the search and pursuit of the people in the God of Wealth Temple.

This army is the Great Wuyi Army to which I belong.

When I was three years old, Master took me as an apprentice, and when I was a teenager, the whole of China was engaged in revolution and culture, and the world was changing in an instant, and the trend of thought was treacherous. My youthful nature is naturally attractable, so I left painting and chatting and went with the flow. Master did not stop me, but said that I could follow the nature of my mind, and I might realize the most in the future. When he reached adulthood, he joined the army and killed all sides with the army. Later, I saw people displaced, selling their wives and children, and they knew that the world was cold and cold. At that time, the commander of the Dawuyi Army saw that there were more and more refugees, and they could not take them in, and there were many epidemics, so he was afraid that the infection would spread, so he ordered all the refugees to be killed and buried alive. I protested angrily, but when I couldn't do it, I went to the commander to take back the order. Unexpectedly, as soon as the front foot left, the back foot law enforcement team began to bury people, and the refugees were finally killed.

The world is difficult and dangerous, people's hearts are not as good as ghosts, I am disheartened, I think of painting, chatting about fasting, and thinking of Master.

At this time, Master actually found me, but he was dying and could not live long. So he entrusted me with the painting of the heavy treasure mirror and the jade horn. And told me not to forget the purpose of painting and chatting, he said: painting and chatting is not a chivalrous generation, not a strong person, the ups and downs of the world, are a kind of law of heavenly operation, that is not to do painting and chatting fast. Painting and chatting is only for the unevenness of all things, there are demons who deceive people, and they have to be managed, and people want to kill demons for no reason, and they have to be managed. And explained all the causes and consequences, all kinds of grievances and grievances with the God of Wealth Temple, and said that there is still a treasure in the painting and Liaozhai, which is on the young master of the Su family in Yangzhou-you, Su Yu.

It turned out that it was not a coincidence that the master gave you a jade pendant that day. He saw that the doll's eyes were clear and very smart, and the jade pendant on her body actually sensed something. So my mind moved, and I had a plan. Master believes that since the God of Wealth Temple secretly harms all living beings through the business road, and does not care about the affairs of the world, it is better to find a righteous rich disciple to suppress the operation of the God of Wealth in the business road, even if it is to steal more flowers, plants, monsters, birds, beasts and birds. You're the best candidate. What's more, Yu Peiming is in harmony with you, and the Three Treasures gather together, and there will be a few more chances of winning against the God of Wealth Temple! I was ordered with tears in my eyes, and my master, a generation of grandmasters, died like this. And I became the master of the new generation of paintings.

Because he has been away from painting for too long, he has been studying in the mortal world for a long time, and he has not inherited too many skills from his master. Therefore, before his death, Master forced me to make a heavy oath that I would continue to be my officer, and that I would not reveal my true identity until I was foolproof and caused by natural disasters. Otherwise, the spell was not completed, and it was learned by the God of Wealth Temple, and it was intercepted and killed halfway, but I was afraid that the painting was going to be extinct. So now there is a rule that the master of the painting never shows up, and only comes and goes by the mirror.

Now you should know why I say that you are destined to paint and talk about fasting. I want you to do me a favor that day, there is only something you can do in Yangzhou City, what do you mean? This can be regarded as a plan to preserve the painting and talk about fasting, and it is also a last wish of the master. ”

After saying this past, Jiang Lin fell silent, and his mood was quite solemn. Su Yu was very excited when he heard this. Naturally, he would never have thought that there was such an admirable master, closely connected with his infant self.

After a long time, Jiang Lin seemed to have recovered from this period of the past and continued:

"The God of Wealth Temple learned that there was a new owner of the painting, and he probed and wanted to eradicate it. But I have been in the military for many years, and my murderous aura is too heavy, covering up the aura of cultivation. They could not have guessed that the new master would be bold and swaggering as an officer.

In the first battle of Pingguangyuan, the master with one enemy and one hundred, painted Liaozhai Linjiang Mirror Yulong Yin two treasures alarmed the entire Yin and Yang world, they were afraid of the means of painting Liaozhai heavy treasures, did not dare to come to the door directly, and always used some intrigues to knock on the side. This time it is nothing more than to borrow Han Yuzhi and Dou Xinyan to send it to me, first, to see if I can see through the news, and second, to see my ability and courage, after seeing through the news, dare to accept the challenge. It's just a radical law and a feast. ”

Su Yu heard it surprisingly. Han Yuzhi was interrogated at night, and he was also present. Why didn't you find any news in it?

Jiang Lin smiled and said,

"You forgot, Dou Xinyan offered a handkerchief, but Han Yuzhi didn't have this handkerchief in her memory. Dou Xinyan has never been banned. Fang Ming told me that Han Yuzhi knew the importance of this handkerchief, but it was erased alive. If you want to figure this out, you must forcibly probe Han Yuzhi's knowledge. But in this way, if the ban is touched, Han Yuzhi will die, the charm will not become a pair, the charm will be cursed, and the Quartet will be killed. This person with such clever means must not be an ordinary person in the God of Wealth Temple. There must be a trick in this handkerchief, and I guess it's going to be in two or three days. ”

Although Su Yu's mood was not as shocked as before, his back spine was still cold, and the God of Wealth Temple was so tight, interlocking, insidious and vicious, as long as he was targeted by them, he was afraid that he would have nightmares even when he slept. Su Yu looked at the mirror glowing with white light, and sure enough, he couldn't wait to get into it and hide. But then he remembered another important matter related to his life, leaned in front of the mirror, and scolded,

"So you've been staring at me since I returned to China, right? You black-bellied bastard must have come to snatch back the Qi Jade Peiming today!"

Jiang Lin smiled heartily,

"What's the matter? Haoyue Linjiang Mirror, Jade Horn Royal Dragon Yin, Xingqi Jade Peiming, this is the three treasures I painted Liaozhai, and I took it back but returned it to its original owner. ”

Su Yu was shocked and took two steps back. He just laughed casually, where did he think of Jiang Lin, but he took it seriously. This jade pendant is a lifeline, and it must not be returned. So he rolled his eyes, played a trick, and said:

"This is given to me by Master Hua, and he must take it himself, and I don't worry about the others. The way of the world has changed, and there are many liars. ”

Jiang Lin choked, and was smoked by the seven orifices of anger. Zi Xin hated and said:

"This jade pendant has long been integrated with you, who wants to take it back? I don't know how long it will take to get it back!"

Su Yu was slightly stunned, then smiled, and shouted in his heart, it is really the favor of the sky!

――――――――

First of all, someone asked if the treasures in the painting really existed, and the answer was obviously ............ Affirmatively!! Haoyue Linjiang Mirror, Jade Horn Royal Dragon Yin, and Xingqi Jade Peiming are all rooted and rich in allusions. Take Xingqi Jade Peiming as an example, it is now stored in the Tianjin Museum, and everyone has the opportunity to dip into the fairy spirit, prolong life and practice, do not fail the exam, and work step by step (there should be laughter here)

Second, this chapter [Leaving the Charm] is officially over, and the next chapter story [Thirteenth Floor] is officially begins. Thank you for your support,
