Chapter 20: Antique Music Box
Zhong Jianian was about to push the door in, but found that the door could not be opened.
He turned the doorknob again, but he still couldn't push it open.
"What's going on?" Xue Yang nervously clenched his hands in front of his chest, looking at the door that couldn't be opened, his face turned a little white with fright.
"Can't be opened." Zhong Jianian and Xue Yang glanced at each other, shook their heads, and said that there was no way.
Wanwan stared at the door panel, leaned on Xia Zhihuai's shoulder, and muttered in a low voice: "The bad things inside are afraid of Wanwan and dare not open the door." β
Xia Zhihuai poked her bun face: "Don't put gold on your face, okay?" β
"Let's stay away, Brother Nian will try again." Wanwan made Xia Zhihuai go back.
Xia Zhihuai felt that this was pure nonsense, but he still walked away with the little radish essence.
"Click", the door to the music room opened.
Xia Zhihuai glanced at the little radish essence in his arms: "Coincidence, right?" β
"Brother, why do you always want to believe the facts?"
Wanwan sighed.
After Brother Qinglong became a mortal, why did he have a stupid energy everywhere?
Zhong Jianian looked back at Xia Zhihuai and Wanwan, stopped at the door and hesitated, "Do you want to go in directly?" β
"Uh-huh." Wanwan slipped down from Xia Zhihuai, threw up her little short legs, and pressed against the door that was about to close again, and smiled, "Hmph, you still want to shut me out of the door!" β
Xia Zhihuai helped her push open the door, and found that it was a little difficult, he was secretly surprised, and raised his eyes to look at the music room with dim eyes.
It was colder than the living room.
The curtains were drawn, and the music room looked airtight.
β¦β¦
Zhong Jianian turned on the light, walked to the window, and pulled the curtain of the bay window.
Bright light from the window filters through the glass and falls on the spacious music room, dispelling the darkness and cold.
Wanwan opened her eyes wide, looked at the various instruments in the music room, and said "wow" in surprise.
"That's a lot of instruments." Wanwan turned her head and looked at Zhong Jianian adoringly, "Do you know how to use these musical instruments?" β
Zhong Jianian pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes, if you like it, I can teach you in the future." β
Xia Zhihuai looked at the two brothers, friends and sisters, and was sour.
What's so great about being able to play a musical instrument, he can also play the violin.
Little dirt chick is wiling.
Wanwan naturally didn't care about Xia Zhihuai's expression, she shook her body excitedly, held her cheeks and asked, "Really?" β
"Really?"
"Can I learn too?"
Zhong Jianian looked at Wanwan with a little star in his eyes, and he felt that Wanwan was indeed a three-and-a-half-year-old child.
"Yes, I'll live downstairs from your house, you can come to me when you have time." Zhong Jianian promised.
Wanwan immediately nodded like pounding garlic.
Xia Zhihuai saw that the little guy was about to be abducted, and urged: "Didn't you say that you wanted to help find something?" Hurry up, we also ordered takeout, it's time to go home for dinner in a moment. β
"Right now, right now."
Wanwan immediately put away her giggling appearance and turned her head to look at the corner where several boxes were piled up.
Zhong Jianian looked at a few international couriers that had not yet been opened, as well as a few things that had been consigned back, and took a paper cutter to open the carton.
"It's all here."
Wanwan bypassed a few large classical instruments, and did not go to see Zhong Jianian unboxing, but aimed at the ornaments on the alcove.
On the second floor, there is a black box.
The box was inlaid with ornate gemstones, the jewels on the lock core were red like weeping blood, and there was still a little patina on the brass locks.
Wanwan pointed to the box, turned her head and asked, "Brother Nian, can you take down that box and show it to me?" β
Zhong Jianian sat on the box, looked at the box on the alcove, and suddenly came back to his senses: "Yes." β
He got up and took off the black box, put it on the small table, and introduced: "This is a music box, I bought it from a friend half a year ago, is there anything wrong?" β
Wanwan didn't speak, her fingers holding the big music box were burned, and a white smoke came out between her fingers.
Xia Zhihuai hurriedly took the music box from her hand and put it on the table: "Have you injured your hand?" β
"Nope." Wanwan stretched out a pair of white and tender little hands in front of Xia Zhihuai, and said with a smile, "It can't hurt me." β
"Then how can it smoke?"
Xia Zhihuai stared at the music box on the table, feeling that he might be getting farther and farther away from the world of science.
Wanwan pointed to the corner of the box: "It's hurt." β
She has a fairy aura on her body, and she is afraid of yin and evil, and she will be burned if she touches it.
"The box is made of locust wood, and locust wood is the first of the five yin woods, if it becomes a deep yin wood, it is the best carrier for raising yin and gathering evil."
Wanwan looked at the beautiful ebony box, and sighed sheepishly: "This music box is made of Shenyin wood." β
Zhong Jianian felt a chill behind his back, staring at the music box for a while, and his mind was blank.
When he first got his hands on it, he thought that this music box was very beautiful, and the timbre was also very good, so he usually wrote songs without inspiration, so he would put this music box on the piano, and listen to the sound from the music box, he would feel very calm, and he would gradually have new inspiration.
That's why he loves to play with this antique music box.
Xue Yang stared at the music box, and turned his head to look at Zhong Jianian, whose face was pale: "Who did you buy this music box from?" β
Zhong Jianian looked up blankly: "It's Deng Songming, he said that he met an antique by chance, and he happened to have trouble at hand during that time, so he passed things over to me, he shouldn't know that there is a problem with this music box, right?" β
Xue Yang bit the groove of his back teeth and couldn't help but scold him.
"Zhong Jiannian, are you stupid?"
"You believe Deng Songming's kind of person, how many times have I told you, his heart is not right, you don't have much contact with him, this kind of thing was there for him before, how could he not feel it?"
β¦β¦
Wanwan and Xia Zhihuai were confused, and the brother and sister squatted on the table and stared wide-eyed.
Zhong Jianian didn't refute Xue Yang's words, Xia Zhihuai looked at the two of them and looked not very good-looking, and said loudly: "Now let's solve this music box problem first." β
Xue Yang stopped his mouth and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my temper has come up, and I didn't restrain it." β
Xia Zhihuai waved his hand, Zhong Jianian's agent has a bit of a big temper, but it has nothing to do with him.
He turned his head to look at Wanwan and asked, "It's this thing that has an impact on Zhong Jiannian, right?" β
Wanwan nodded in confirmation, and said squarely: "There is a very fierce and bad thing in the box." β
Wanwan reached for the box, and there was a terrible scream from the box.
A black yin qi burst out from the crack in the box, and the temperature in the room plummeted, and Xia Zhihuai shivered.
He rubbed his right eye and looked at the place where the yin qi had fled.
"Wanwan, that thing just ...... Did you get into Zhong Jiannian's body? β
Wanwan looked at Zhong Jiannian, whose face was suddenly gloomy, and the fine black patterns quickly climbed up the sides of his cheeks from the back of his neck.
The whites of his eyes also changed, and his pupils became like small black dots, staring stiffly at Wanwan standing on the ground.
After Xue Yang made eye contact with him, he fell to the ground in fright, letting out a sharp scream.
"Helpβ"
"Monster!"
Xue Yang wanted to get up from the ground and leave, but Zhong Jianian stepped on her ankle, and her white high heels were kicked off by Xue Yang, her face turned pale in pain, and her whole person fell into a state of panic.
Seeing this, Xia Zhihuai hurriedly got up to stop Zhong Jiannian.
Her fleshy cheeks puffed out, and there was a small fire in her eyes.
It's really a bad thing!
