"Could the clam you are talking about be a kind of jewelry from the sea?"
It is probably the nature of many women to be interested in jewelry. Wu Hui had actually heard of such rare objects. Mo Weiming really didn't know much about this aspect. When it comes to jewelry in the sea, he can only think of pearls subconsciously. But after reading the word "Tridacna" several times, he could vaguely recall something, maybe which book he saw it in. After all, he never took the initiative to learn about jewelry, and he never had any friends around him who were tinkering with it. In his eyes, it is nothing more than the difference between calcium carbonate and silica.
But does he have friends?
"Ah, I didn't expect you to be an expert."
"In other words," Wu Hui waved her hand in embarrassment, "I don't know anything about these things. My superior received a gift, which was a pure white pen holder. He once asked us to guess its material... I didn't know it until then. There is such a thing as a clam. Qiwen guessed that the beads might be ivory, but I didn’t think that way.”
"Tridacna is not a popular jewelry and cultural toy nowadays, but its value is also very considerable. In ancient times, people believed that Tridacna has a strong magnetic field, which can eliminate disasters, exorcise evil spirits, eliminate karma, and bring auspiciousness. It can also calm the mind, stabilize the mood, and maintain health. It is said to be most suitable for people who are prone to headaches, insomnia, anxiety, and distracting thoughts."
Mo Weiming frowned slightly and made a mean comment: "It's all just psychological effects. It's just a ball of calcium carbonate and keratin, how can it have so many magical functions."
"Don't psychological effects also work?" The shopkeeper laughed, "Hey, you guys are even more powerful. Look-"
He took out a small flashlight and held the beads at the light source. The bright golden thread in the center becomes transparent and is very eye-catching on the white sphere. If you look closely, you can see tiny, cloud-like lines, like a golden glow.
"The traces on this are proof of natural formation. Today's imitations are not of such a high standard, and they can be identified even without using destructive means. This is indeed a clam, and it is a golden clam - it can be said to be the authentic one. Excellent. Just..."
"only?"
The only person who agreed was Wu Hui, and Mo Weiming didn't like anyone trying to show off in a place like this.
"There's a hole in the middle, right? And it's a through hole. It should be one of a series of bracelets. In other words, there are many more of this quality. Well... look at the diameter, at least ten or more. . I heard from Ouyang that you found it in the old apartment? It seems to be a remnant of the previous owner. If you go back and look around again, you might be able to find one or two in the nooks and crannies. "
Mo Weiming wanted to ask Wu Hui why she said everything. But when I thought about it, no one thought that this would be such a valuable thing before. It was just a matter of words, and being secretive only aroused suspicion.
He said to the shopkeeper: "I think this is probably impossible. You should have read in the newspaper that the businessman died and the police came several times. In order to re-rent it, even the landlord renovated the house."
"They probably just focused on investigating the crime scene and did not check other places carefully. After all, this thing was found under the cabinet in the living room. Maybe there are other places that have not been checked."
"You are quite optimistic." Mo Weiming looked at her.
Shopkeeper Shi touched the frame, shook his head and said, "It's interesting."
"What's the point?"
"I have a guess. Of course... it may make people a little uneasy. This is a very valuable thing. As I said, there are dozens of others that are equally valuable. It is impossible for the antique dealer to handle it himself. He couldn't remember how many beads there were in this bracelet. If it had broken at home a long time ago, he would have to find it even if he turned the house upside down. The problem was, there weren't any. And after his death, the police couldn't find it for so long. No more beads were found - well, the possibility of someone taking it privately cannot be ruled out. But all in all, the police should focus on the room where the crime occurred, not the living room. Why this thing appeared in the corner of the living room is quite clear. So the core of the problem is..."
"When did the bracelet break?"
When Mo Weiming said the words, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold. The tiny ticking sounds of countless dials overlapped and were deafening.
"Don't be scary." Wu Hui looked like he wasn't really afraid. "So this means that this bead, or even the entire bracelet, could be a tool involved in the case?"
"That's right. Maybe someone from the police department will visit in the near future." Shopkeeper Shi said seriously, "Be mentally prepared for this. Although the room has been rented out and the case has been closed, we do not rule out the possibility of continuing the investigation. .And if it’s this thing, even if it attracts a private detective, or...well, in short, anyone can come, and anything can happen.”
My life was peaceful before, but now I am in big trouble. But then again, even if Wu Hui is not found, these things may still happen. Just like you are walking on the road normally, and suddenly someone tells you that there are often robbers on this road, and there is a chance of killing them at any time. But what can we do? We still have to go on.
Of course, you can also choose to "turn back", that is, move. If the cost is slightly weighed, Mo Weiming will definitely not be happy with it.
"Then what should I do with it? As expected, should I hand it over to the police?"
Mo Weiming began to reconsider her previous suggestions. Although he doesn't like those people, after all, one less trouble is one less thing. If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid that thieves will care about you. Now it seems that the police department is not the only one who should be concerned about this thing. In this case, it is better to simply hand it over to a more familiar and trustworthy party - it is worse than gambling on unknown troubles.
"Actually, I don't suggest that." The shopkeeper said, "Well... the situation may be more troublesome than you think."
"So what?"
"If I admit it correctly - of course, I cannot admit it wrong. The bead in your hand comes from Tridacna, one of the seven magical weapons."
Mo Weiming was stunned for a moment, but Wu Hui didn't notice. She just asked curiously: "What magical weapon?"
"Alas! Generally speaking, I will charge an information fee for talking about these things. But since I am a friend introduced by an old customer, I will just treat it as a joke for you. Anyway, these things are common sense in the industry, but outside the industry Listen to the story. If you have never heard of the Seven Great Magical Instruments, do you know what the Seven Buddhist Treasures are?"
"Gold, silver... or something?" Wu Hui asked, "It's seven kinds of jewelry anyway, right? I don't know exactly what it is. It seems that there are different explanations in different books."
"Ouch, you said you're not an expert."
"I really don't know. I just read a lot, and I haven't even been to a few temples."
"It's amazing to know this now. The Seven Magical Artifacts are the magic tools passed down from thousands of years ago and made of seven kinds of jewelry. However, they are not all made of materials from the human world, and their craftsmen are also Not necessarily human beings. Each of these seven things has its own abilities, effectiveness, and temperament. In the distant past, these artifacts... in the hands of extraordinary people or monsters, brought misfortune and were useless. Adding trouble. So, the Lord of the End of Naraku sent them into the hands of humans. After that, the magical artifacts were circulated in the hands of seven different people, in various ways. Legitimate, improper... It is said that when the time comes There are still people who are keeping an eye on them today. These people don't care who holds the magical artifact or what it is used for, they only care about the whereabouts of the magical artifact itself."
"The six paths are impermanent."
Mo Weiming, who had remained silent until the last second, suddenly said this.
"Hiss, I didn't expect you..."
"You hesitated to speak several times just now, probably because you were worried that we didn't know the identities of these people. It is indeed a distant story, and my family has told it to me. However, it is just a story."
Wu Hui clapped her hands with an expression of sudden realization: "Then I understand. I've heard the story too. These are the immortals you mentioned, that is, they are impermanent according to word of mouth. They are in the underworld. The undead person on duty.”
"Great. Now that you two know it, it's very convenient. Don't believe it or not, most people have never even heard of it. In addition to the six paths of impermanence, they also have a famous name - Huang Quan Ten February. According to experience, magical weapons often cause uncontrollable disasters in the hands of people like them who connect life and death. After all, these magical weapons from other worlds also have the power to connect the six paths. Having said that... guard or use these magic weapons. Human beings who use weapons also have their own names.”
The person holding the clam is named Tianshuqing.
The person who holds the red pearl is named Tianxuanqing.
The person holding silver is named Tianjiqing.
The person holding amber is named Tianquanqing.
The person holding the agate is named Yu Hengqing.
The gold holder is named Kaiyang Qing.
The person who holds the colored glaze is named Yao Guangqing.
The pivot is the sky, the xuan is the earth, the jade is the human, the power is the time, the balance is the sound, the yang is the rhythm, the yao light is the star... Shopkeeper Shi introduced it like this, the sky was full of flowers, and Wu Hui listened with interest. Only Mo Weiming stood aside, folding his arms and tapping the toes of his shoes impatiently.
Wu Hui sighed: "Could it be that this clam is exactly..."
"Based on my experience, it is most likely that it belongs to Tianshu Qing. But we don't know who Tianshu Qing is, not to mention that there has been such a big mess, and he may not want to show up. I think it’s unlikely to be the antique dealer. Even if it is, now that he’s dead, it’s no longer the case.”
"How many people in Yaozhou are known to be holding magical weapons?"
Mo Weiming said something unexpectedly. This surprised Wu Hui. She thought he didn't understand or be interested in these things.
Shopkeeper Shi, who was sitting on the chair, raised his head slightly and looked at him with a meaningful look.
"There is really a fee for this part of the information. But what I can tell you is that it is rumored that there is an important person in the police department called Kaiyang Qing. Therefore, as the holder of the Purple Golden Pestle, I don't think it is necessary to let them Getting close to Tridacna is a good choice. Logically speaking, the holders are located all over the mainland... there shouldn't be any coincidence. What do you think?"
