Chapter 006: Cloud Gate Glazed Eight Treasures Town Soul Mirror
Soon, the knife was aimed at me sitting on the sofa, and without a moment's pause, the cold light flashed, and with a "whoosh" sound, it stabbed straight at my heart.
However, I was prepared, stretched out two fingers, and easily clamped the blade with a "click".
Xu Duobao, who was talking to me, saw the fruit knife suddenly running into my hand, and his face immediately showed a stunned expression.
"Lao Xu, my skills are not bad, right? Don't worry, I won't be frightened. Hurry up and take out the baby, right? I can't wait here. I smiled and played with the fruit knife and stabbed it onto an apple.
But embarrassingly, a yellowish liquid flowed out of the apple.
After Xu Duobao saw it, he was a little embarrassed: "It's hot, fruits love to be bad, you wait for me for a while, I'll go and bring the ancient mirror to you to see." ”
I didn't cross-examine Xu Duobao's words, and put the fruit knife back on the coffee table.
It's just that the yellow water on the apple looks like corpse fluid flowing out of the corpse, and even faintly emits a foul smell.
Watching Xu Duobao walk into the bedroom, I paid attention to the movement of the fruit knife, and at the same time thought of a charm that Ji Weiqi taught me, and reached out to draw it on the coffee table.
It's a bit ashamed to say this, don't look at me as a god and ghost contract person, and the people of the rivers and lakes give me the nickname of Touch Jin Shaoshuai, but in addition to the triangular cat kung fu, I basically don't have those unique secret skills that have been learned from Yuling, plus the rebellion of my childhood, although I have been forced to stuff a lot of theoretical knowledge, but I have never practiced it. As for this talisman, it took Ji Weiqi several times to learn it.
But not to mention, this soul fixing talisman had just shown some rudiments, and the green smoke hiding in the fruit knife immediately stopped a lot.
"Brother Lin Kun, do you smoke?" At this moment, Lu Ping leaned out of the kitchen and asked, still holding an ashtray in his hand.
I know that Xu Duobao does not have a habit of smoking, and Lu Ping also hates others smoking in her house.
Now she asked like this, most of which was to apologize for what had happened to Fang Cai, no, even the ashtray had been found. I did smoke a few once in a while, but I was concentrating on drawing this unfamiliar soul fixing talisman, how could I respond to her question?
When Lu Ping saw that I didn't answer, she mistakenly thought that I acquiesced to her proposal, and walked over with an ashtray.
Just when I was distracted, the green smoke that had just been suppressed suddenly flew out of the fruit knife, hit its head on the beam, and then shot straight at Lu Ping.
I noticed the abnormal movement of the smoke, and hurriedly shouted at Lu Ping: "Sister-in-law, be careful!" ”
My reaction was fast, but it was still a step slower.
Before I could say anything, the smoke hit the ashtray. With a crisp click, the ashtray slipped from Lu Ping's hand and split into several pieces, the fragments fell from mid-air, and the sharp edge suddenly scratched Lu Ping's instep.
As the red blood gushed out from the wound on Lu Ping's instep, I seemed to feel that the room was a little colder.
"Wife, what's wrong?"
Xu Duobao walked out of the bedroom with a red cloth bag, his face was a little anxious, he obviously heard the scream that Lu Ping had just made.
Don't look at Xu Duobao sometimes like to yell at his wife, he actually loves him very much in his bones, after all, he is an old husband and a young wife.
"It's okay! I wanted to beckon Brother Lin Kun to smoke, but I didn't expect the ashtray to suddenly shatter and scratch my foot. Lu Ping replied with some guilt.
She didn't know that it was Qingyan, and thought that her hand slipped and accidentally smashed Xu Duobao's beloved thing.
"Ashtray?" Xu Duobao rushed to this side with an arrow step, and when he saw the debris all over the ground, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Lao Xu, what are you shouting? Your precious ashtray is a fake, I told you a long time ago, and now you should believe it, right? I saw Xu Duobao's distressed look, so I laughed and teased on the side
Road.
"Smash, smash!" Xu Duobao listened to my words, swallowed his saliva and replied, obviously still reluctant to give up his baby ashtray, but when he saw Lu Ping's still bleeding instep, he was suddenly distressed.
In a combination of old husbands and young wives like them, men tend to treat their wives as daughters, and of course they love and care for them.
As for the ashtray that the green smoke smashed off, it was indeed a fake.
But this fake is different from a fake. It is not a product of modern industry, but an imitation produced by the glaze factory in the late Qing Dynasty. Although it is not as valuable as the genuine product imported in the early Ming Dynasty, if it is thrown on the market, it is also an object worth tens of thousands of yuan.
"Humph! You might as well be Brother Lin Kun feel sorry for me, while going, I'll go to the medicine myself. Lu Ping pushed Xu Duobao away and stretched out her hand, responded angrily, turned around and limped towards the bedroom.
Xu Duobao looked at her back with a wry smile: "I'm ...... I'm not in a hurry for a while, this is also tens of thousands of dollars. ”
"Lao Xu, don't look at it! My sister-in-law won't be really angry. I smiled and shook my head and pulled Xu Duobao over.
"Cut! Okay, you kid knows women better than I do. Xu Duobao smiled bitterly and turned around and sat on the sofa.
"What's the matter, my sister-in-law didn't take a fancy to me."
"You're just going to make fun of me, it's a shame that she didn't meet you, otherwise there would be something to do with me."
"Hahaha, I have a crush on my sister-in-law, didn't you marry me first?"
Men get together, and once they talk about women, there are few serious ones. In this respect, I am no worse than connoisseurship of antiques. But today, we're not here to joke with Xu Duobao.
I stretched out my hand in front of Xu Duobao and went straight to the topic: "Take it!" Let's see what kind of treasure is that? ”
Hearing me ask about the things in his hand, Xu Duobao's eyes suddenly lit up. He carefully placed the red cloth bag on the coffee table and gently opened the mouth of the bag.
But then, my brow furrowed.
Don't look at Xu Duobao is face excited, but I have the feeling of walking into the tomb.
The bigger the pocket opened, the more uneasy my heart became. The feeling of coldness and urgency became more and more obvious in my mind.
By the time my pockets were fully open, I had goosebumps on my body.
"Lin Kun, look! What do you think? That's it. Xu Duobao took out an ancient mirror from his red cloth pocket and put it on the coffee table, his movements were so gentle that he was serving his wife.
I only had to look at it to conclude that it was not only genuine, but also an old object.
The ancient mirror is based on bronze, the texture around the frame is delicate and delicate, the mirror surface is made of rare colorful glazed stone in the high temperature of thousands of degrees, and then carefully polished by hand, the whole surface is clear and crystalline, warm and moist like jade, translucent like ice.
The mirror body and the bronze bottom bracket are even more tightly fitted, as if made of nature, although the age is old, but the whole mirror body has no traces of erosion of time.
Such an object is indeed worthy of Xu Duobao's care.
The manufacturing process of this ancient mirror, not to mention the ancient times of human carving and chiseling, can also be regarded as a fine product even if it is put into modern times.
"Good stuff! Sure enough, it's a good thing. I sighed and nodded, "Lao Xu, you are really lucky to go out and step on shit, look at this craft style, at least it is an object before Tang, you have found a treasure." ”
"Cut! You don't come to this set. Just tell me, what is this? How much is it worth? "Don't look at Xu Duobao's usual temperament, but at such times, he is always impatient.
I saw Xu Duobao's anxious appearance, shook his head with a smile, and reached out to pick up the ancient mirror.
When my fingers touched the mirror, an eerie chill spread rapidly through my fingertips.
My brow furrowed.
"What's wrong Lin Kun, is there something wrong? Is it a fake? Xu Duobao asked nervously when he saw that my expression was different.
"Nope! I think it's the real thing. I replied in a low voice.
"Isn't it worth much?" This is what Xu Duobao is most concerned about.
I nodded silently, flipped over the mirror, and saw several lines of inscriptions engraved on the back of the ancient mirror.
According to the explanation of the inscription, the full name of this ancient mirror should be called the Cloud Gate Glazed Eight Treasures Town Soul Mirror. Its owner was a Yun nobleman of the Han Dynasty who died in the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion during the reign of Emperor Jing. When the nobleman died, he was resentful, and in order to prevent trouble after his death, a large number of living sacrifices were arranged in his tomb. And with this eight-treasure glazed soul mirror sitting in the tomb, absorbing the yin qi of the living sacrificer, and using this magic weapon to suppress the resentment of the nobleman.
When I saw this inscription, I understood everything.
No wonder as soon as I walked into Xu Duobao's house, I felt like I had entered a tomb. Not only that, but the green smoke that sneaked up on me must also come from this ancient mirror. As for Xu Duobao's mother's illness and all kinds of strange things in his family, it is naturally at work.
After all, this kind of utensils that should only be placed in the cemetery should not be placed in the home.
Not to mention, this Eight Treasure Glazed Soul Suppression Mirror was originally a magic weapon specially used to suppress resentful spirits, and the yin qi on its body was three points more fierce than that of the tomb owner who was full of resentment.
With that in mind, I turned the mirror back again.
As the mirror surface of the colorful glass re-entered my eyes, I noticed that a ray of light crossed it, and the picture was revealed in the mirror. It was a dark, low room, with torches in the walls, flames illuminating the surroundings, revealing a vaulted roof and a floor covered with blue bricks.
I could even hear the crackling sound of the flames as they burned.
It wasn't like a room, it was like a burial chamber, and I was in a trance, as if I was in the middle of it.
At this moment, a terrible scream came.
I looked up and saw a flash of cold light, a head gurgling to the side, and a headless body staggering to the ground.
Looking behind, countless people, neatly lined up, stretched into the distance until they disappeared into the darkness at the end of the tomb.
The executioner did not stop for a moment, but walked towards the next figure who was pressed to his knees and struggled.
Hand up, knife down!
Another head rolled to the ground, spun around a few times, and came to a stop when it hit the wall, facing right in my direction, revealing a face full of despair and unwillingness.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, the executioner suddenly turned around and met my gaze, and then, as if aware of my presence, he left the man on his knees and rushed towards me with great strides.
My heart shuddered, and I instinctively tried to react, only to find that I couldn't even feel my body......
"Lin Kun, Lin Kun, are you okay?"
At this time, Xu Duobao's voice came from my ears, and I was suddenly shocked, and I woke up from the world in the mirror, and when I looked up, it was not Xu Duobao's slightly surprised face.
Only then did I realize that I had been sitting on the sofa at Xu Duobao's house and had never been anywhere.
Looking back at the ancient mirror, the mirror is still crystal clear, where there is any inexplicable picture, as if my immersive encounter just now is just an illusion.
Just as I was about to look away, I saw the mirror flash again, and an extremely distorted hideous grimace appeared on the mirror, and my eyes full of resentment shocked me.
Before I could react, the grimace vanished, and then I saw a wisp of green smoke rising from the mirror.
Seeing this puff of green smoke reappear, I quickly glanced over the coffee table.
