Chapter 149: Inch of Time
Song Ci opened the flannel bag, and there was a pocket watch lying quietly inside.
The cover is silvery-white, with hollow rings on the surface, layer upon layer, layer upon layer, layer by layer, layer by layer.
Just a simple cover, the use of hammering, engraving, hollowing and other processes, not to mention the antique value of the pocket watch itself, is this process, it is already a priceless treasure.
The front of the cover is a plant entwined branch, and Song Ci couldn't see what kind of plant it was for a while, but the pattern on the back, Song Ci could see at a glance that it was a peach branch full of peach blossoms, and the stamens were clearly visible.
However, the bracelet looks very ordinary, and at first glance it is matched later.
The dial seems to be polished with crystal, and after so many years, it is only slightly yellowed, and there are not many other traces of age.
Although Feng Zhiheng didn't know the true origin of the pocket watch, he probably also saw some abnormalities in the pocket watch.
Not to mention that as an antique, after so many years, it is still as bright as new, that is, he has been working on it for many years, but it is still as bright as new, just this point, people can notice that this thing is extraordinary.
At this time, the hands on the dial were still turning diligently, and the hands pointed to 8:30.
Song Ci didn't stay here for long, and turned around and walked back to his car.
Only then did he take out the pocket watch again, and then summoned the Sky Swallowing Jar, which consumed a little Wish Power and activated the pocket watch.
At this time, Song Ci has 159 points of willingness, subtract a little, and there are 158 points left, which is a necessary investment.
When I came back from Shencheng before, I still had 143 points of Wish Power left, but two days ago, I met Chen Sihe and Chen Wenbo, father and son, and they contributed 6 points and 10 points respectively, which is why we have 159 points now.
Wishing Strength: 158
Refining gas: 1.12+
Wish: Free access to the deceased's Taoyuan Village (500) - Insufficient wish
With the daily uninterrupted cultivation of the "Strengthening Body Breathing Technique", Song Ci has also made progress in refining and refining qi, don't look at it is just a little bit, but Song Ci can feel that his essence and spirit are not known how many times stronger than in the past, and between every breath and breath, there is a feeling of full strength.
And as Song Ci activated the pocket watch, a piece of information came to his mind.
This pocket watch has a peculiar name, called Inch Time.
The moment you press the stop button on your pocket watch, time around you stops, stealing an inch of time.
Of course, this is an exaggeration, if this is the case, I'm afraid this pocket watch is an artifact, and I don't know how much will power it will cost to achieve.
In fact, the moment you press the time-stop button, your own time does not stop, and the world does not stop because of you, but all living beings will subconsciously ignore your existence.
When you press the button again and let the pocket watch move again, everything will be restored again, but the creature that had ignored you before will not be surprised by the sudden appearance of you.
So it looks like stealing an inch of time, an inch of time that belongs entirely to oneself.
Song Ci pressed the stop button with some curiosity, and then looked out of the car window, at this time around half past eight, there were not many pedestrians on the road, but seeing their hurried steps, they didn't see anything special.
So he opened the car door and got out of the car to take a look.
But at this moment, I only heard a bang, and the rear of the car was hit by someone.
Song Ci hurriedly pressed the stop button again to let the pocket watch resume moving.
Only then did he get out of the car, and it turned out that his car parked on the side of the road was hit by someone.
Song Ci looked left and right and found that there were not many vehicles on the road, and it was not crowded, and it was very empty.
So he was a little speechless and said to the middle-aged man who had just gotten off the car behind: "Big brother, can't you even see such a big car?" Can this also be bumped into? ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my mind was muddy, and I was in a trance for a while." The middle-aged eldest brother hurriedly apologized with a sincere attitude.
Song Ci didn't say anything more, but he also reacted, so he quietly pressed the time-stop button on his watch.
Then I saw that the middle-aged eldest brother was dazed for a moment, and then while looking around, he muttered to himself: "Where is the owner of the car?" Isn't the person there? ”
His eyes swept over Song Ci several times, and a big living person like him stood there, but he just turned a blind eye, looking quite weird.
Then I looked up and looked around, and saw that there was surveillance, so I stopped thinking about driving away.
So Song Ci pressed the button again, only to see the middle-aged man's eyes instantly fall on him again, and then said to himself: "Brother, I don't think it's too hard, I'll give you two money, forget it privately, you don't need to find the traffic police, delay everyone's time, do you think it's okay?" ”
Song Ci was surprised in his heart, it turned out that the inch of time was used in this way, not to stop time, but to turn himself into an invisible person.
However, his face did not show it, but said, "Six hundred." ”
"Six hundred? This is too much, four hundred, at most four hundred, six hundred, I might as well find the traffic police, how much you repair, I will pay according to the price. The middle-aged man said helplessly.
Song Ci nodded when he heard the words and said, "Forget it, I'm in a hurry, four hundred is four hundred." ”
In fact, this is also the price in Song Ci's heart, the reason why he said six hundred is to let the other party have a bargaining space, so that the other party feels that he has taken advantage of it and will not go too far.
If you quote 400 as soon as you come up, the other party will definitely bargain for 300, or even 200, even if you bite 400 to death, you will enter the tugging and delay a lot of time out of thin air.
So after six hundred, the other party counteroffered four hundred, paid happily and didn't say anything, and thought that you were easy to talk to, thinking that you had taken advantage, although I was still unhappy about chasing my tail, but in fact my mood was much better.
Waiting for the middle-aged man to drive away, Song Ci checked the rear of the car again, the collision was indeed not serious, find a place to repair it, at most two hundred yuan, he is not a luxury car, not so expensive, Song Ci even felt that driving like this first did not have much impact.
Returning to the car again, looking at the pocket watch in his hand, Song Ci was also happy in his heart, he actually had a plan to get a similar prop.
After all, every time I communicate with tricks, it's okay in a remote place, but if it's in a crowded place, it's easy to attract the attention of others.
Therefore, it is necessary to have an item similar to the Muggle banishment charm in Harry Potter.
But this is too coincidental -
Song Ci's cheeks changed color instantly, it was indeed too coincidental, so coincidental that it made him feel a little weird, and even felt that everything was arranged in advance.
After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and inquired about Feng Menglong's life.
In the seventh year of Chongzhen (1634), he was promoted to Shouning Zhi County, Fujian.
In the eleventh year of Chongzhen (1638), Zhishi returned to his hometown to engage in writing, and in his later years, he ran for the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty but did not succeed.
Song Ci was a little stunned, he was still a rebel ancestor, so the Qing court would definitely not tolerate him at that time, and he would definitely be arrested everywhere.
And the owner of the jar, so he gave it to him? With this thing, Feng Menglong estimated that if he entered and exited the temple, if there was no one, no one would be able to catch him again.
And Feng Menglong's death is also quite controversial.
Some say that he died because of Feng Menglong's grief, and some say that he was killed by Qing soldiers, but there is no clear cause of death and news.
Now it seems that everything makes sense.
Because he is gone.
So in this way, this pocket watch may really be a relic of Feng Menglong, and it seems that the pocket watch entered Great Xia earlier than imagined.
And Song Ci has also reacted now, the investigation of Feng Zhiheng was his initiative, and the pocket watch has long existed, and it is impossible for anyone to arrange it in advance, unless it is a "god".
If that's the case, he can't resist, it's better to let everything go naturally.
The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and there is no need to worry about yourself.
Thinking of this, Song Ci started the car and headed home.
It's dark and it's time to go home.
