Chapter 60: The Sound of the Flute (4/10) Asking for the First !!

The sudden visit of the official mission of Qingle Island made the scene in the store a little chaotic for a while, but after learning that they were coming to find the person in charge of the store, the atmosphere gradually became gossipy.

It's lively to watch, not chilling.

Lu Jing also didn't leave, while waiting for the waiter to bring the dial-up conch to him, he tested with Xu Chu and Fu Ju the transsonic conch he just bought, which is a high-end product of 20 silver dollars, not only the timbre is clear, the volume can also be adjusted, and there is no need to charge, as long as a little special conch food is fed regularly.

Whew~

The three of them were chatting casually, but Liuli, who had been lying in Lu Jing's arms, suddenly let out a low roar.

At first, Lu Jing thought that he had pressed it, but after hurriedly straightening up, he found that Liuli was staring at the pair of officials, with his ears drooping and his teeth drooping.

This voice unexpectedly attracted the attention of the other party, one of the catchers looked over with a frown, Lu Jing raised his hand to stroke Liuli's forehead, took it back into his arms, and said with a smile: "The kitten is afraid of life, I'm really embarrassed." ”

The head catcher glanced at Liuli, nodded, and didn't say anything, because the shopkeeper of this specialty store appeared on the stairs at this time.

A wealthy middle-aged man in a brocade robe, with a gentle smile on his face, first greeted the customers in the store, and finally looked at the official errand, and when he saw the conch in the head catcher's hand, he couldn't help but be stunned, and quickly stepped forward and asked, "How can this conch be in your hands?"

"Do you recognize it?"

The headcatcher is obviously also here for this conch.

"Of course, this is one of our store's off-the-shelf items this year, the Gramophone Conch...... It is extremely rare and of high quality, and the color is extremely festive, so I gave it to Qin Nianshan, Mr. Qin, at noon yesterday to thank him for his support to us over the years...... You haven't told me why it's in your hands, is something wrong with Old Mr. Qin?"

Seeing that the conch was packed in a transparent bag, and it was brought by the head again, the shopkeeper immediately sensed some information from it, so that his face was a little ugly.

"Are you sure it was sent yesterday at noon?"

The head catcher put the conch on the counter, his eyes full of surprise.

"The conch they packed for me yesterday, I personally went to visit it by car and handed it over to Mr. Qin!"

Emphasizing the word "personally", the shopkeeper at this time also showed a little anxiety, and then asked,

"What the hell is going on, are you here to sell the guan?"

"This is not the place to talk. ”

The head catcher looked around at the guests who pretended not to care, but in fact they all pricked up their ears, and said in a deep voice.

"There's a quiet room in the store, come with me. ”

The shopkeeper didn't talk nonsense, turned around and led people through the counter to the inner compartment on the first floor.

As soon as the official left, the atmosphere in the store immediately became lively, even a little more lively than before, everyone was talking about what had just happened, including Xu Chu.

"Qin Nianshan is the owner of the tower we saw just now, looking at the situation just now, he is afraid that something has happened. ”

Xu Chu spread out the travel guide and pointed to a photo on it, which was an old man holding a white flute and in good spirits.

"Hmmm......"

Lu Jing looked down at the two forefeet on the edge of the counter, still staring at the shopkeeper and the direction of the officials' departure, but what he was thinking about was the conch.

It didn't take long for the waitresses to pick up several dial-up conchs from the store, which brought Lu Jing's attention back to business, and finally chose a medium-sized dial-up conch worth 1 gold leaf and 30 silver dollars.

However, just as Lu Jing was about to pay the bill, a strange flute suddenly sounded from the compartment inside the store.

Yes, its rhythm, timbre, and melody are completely different from the flute music that Lu Jing has heard so far, but a grotesque, tortuous and bizarre sound, which cannot even be judged by such basic words as good or ugly...... Lu Jing didn't know how to describe it, he just listened uncontrollably, and he didn't even have the heart to speak for a while, he just wanted to indulge in it.

Not only him, but other people in the shop, including Xu Chu and Fu Ju, were in a special state at this time, and as time passed, Lu Jing soon realized in a trance that the sound coming into his ears was no longer just a flute, but mixed with some kind of paradox, which was by no means a note that could be played by an ordinary instrument......

Oh!!!

The roar suddenly exploded in his ears, and Lu Jing trembled like electricity, and he woke up first.

Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back, and before he knew it, cold sweat had soaked through his thin short coat.

Looking down at the source of the roar, Ruri was crouching on her legs, looking up at herself, her jewel-like eyes shining with a wonderful luster.

At this moment, the sound of the flute had already ended.

"Captain, the sound of the flute, no, it's not just the sound of the flute!"

Xu Ju beside him was panting, his face was pale, and Fu Ju on the other side did not speak, his face was also ugly, and he didn't seem to have recovered from the trance just now.

"I know, the flute ......"

As soon as Lu Jing wanted to speak, he saw several officials rushing out of the store, and the head catcher just now was among them, holding a conch in his hand, and staggering towards the door of the store, muttering some vague words in his mouth.

As for the shopkeeper, he did not appear in the group, and seemed to remain in the ashram.

After a while, everyone in the store began to come back to their senses, and the strange trance of not long ago disappeared without a trace, and the transactions in the store continued, but there were no more smiles on everyone's faces.

After paying the bill, Lu Jing took the two of them out of the store.

"The key is the conch, if I heard it right, the shopkeeper of the conch store said it was a gramophone conch, probably like a gramophone, used to play some sounds recorded in advance. ”

At this time, Lu Jing had fully recovered, perhaps because he had experienced and defeated it once before, and he had a certain resistance to this kind of thing.

"You're saying that the music is a conch...... That conch was brought by Mr. Qin's family, does this mean ......"

Xu Chu's words were intermittent and did not say everything, but both of them understood the meaning of his words.

"It's very likely, those officials are afraid that they are in trouble. ”

Lu Jing replied, but his eyes were full of thought, and he had to admit that he had a strong interest in the flute just now.

His instincts told him that he might encounter danger in pursuing the truth behind it, but the sea dependents brought by the statue of the human head and the danger of going to Blowing Sand Island were vaguely urging him, this was another chance to contact that power!
