The three of them had breakfast, and not long after, a few grown men outside carried a ready-made coffin to the grocery store. The coffin was made of ordinary materials and should be old goods from the coffin shop, but there was nothing to choose from for emergencies.
Zhou Qiao was afraid of scaring Uncle Zhi Guo, so he didn't use the method of driving away the corpse. Instead, he asked Yang Gan and Fat Brother to carry the corpse into the coffin. Zhou Qiao cleaned up Xiaoxiao's body and let Uncle Zhi Guo take a look at Xiao Xiao. Xiao took one last look and immediately sealed the coffin door and placed a dead body amulet in the center of the coffin to ensure that the body would not be disturbed by evil spirits;
"Ashes return to dust, earth returns to earth, all things are yin and yang, life and death are impermanent, the body returns to floating earth, the soul returns to ghosts, return here~ return..."
Zhou Qiao silently recited the requiem spell, and Uncle Zhiguo stared blankly at the coffin. Until this moment, he clearly realized that his daughter was separated from him and would never come back. For a moment, it seemed that his energy and energy had been drained out. The person seems to have aged a lot in an instant;
After finishing these trivial matters, Zhou Qiao and others walked out of the grocery store and prepared to go to Yingdu City, which Uncle Zhiguo had mentioned. There were many pedestrians along the way, and there were many Feng Shui shops on the street. Yang Gan pulled the two of them and rushed in. , There were not many people visiting the Feng Shui shop in the early morning.
"Boss, why don't you say hello to the guests?"
The boss heard the sound of the store door and looked up to see Zhou Qiao and three others walking in. He felt happy. These were the first batch of customers today. He said smoothly: "Welcome, do you need any Feng Shui supplies?"
Yang Gan looked around and discovered at a glance that the furnishings in the store were very crude and there was nothing worth buying. I was a little disappointed, but seeing the boss's enthusiastic attitude, he still smiled and said, "Boss, take a look at the treasures of your store. Don't fool people with these inferior goods from outside."
The boss hesitated for a moment, looked up at Zhou Qiao and Fat Brother, and then looked at Yang Qian's clothes. Seeing that Yang Qian acted like a typical rich man, knowing that the God of Wealth was coming, his heart was happy and his mouth was full of joy. He said calmly: "I have some food, but I'm afraid some of you won't be able to eat it..."
The implication is that things are very expensive. After all, there is no such thing as cheap Feng Shui items ranging from a compass to a town object.
"Hmph~ Boss, just take it out smoothly. As long as you guys are interested, money is not an issue~"
As he spoke, Yang Qian cleared his throat and looked at the shop owner angrily;
"Okay, everyone, wait a moment. I'll go to the warehouse at the back to pick up some good goods and bring them to you guys."
As soon as the boss finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the backyard. After a while, he carefully came over with a nanmu box and solemnly took out three items from it and opened them one by one.
Yang Qian's eyes lit up, and his two big eyes were fixed on one of the magic weapons, looking at it constantly. Although Zhou Qiao didn't know much about Feng Shui as Yang Qian, he could see the extraordinary quality from the aura of the object in the middle. Although Fat Brother had robbed a lot of tombs and seen a lot of good things in the early years, asking him to tell you how good things are and how valuable they are is like being blind. He graduated from the second grade of elementary school and can identify things. Good or bad has been difficult for him.
"Haha~ How about you guys take a look at these three things of mine?"
The boss looked at Yang Qian proudly;
Yang Gan pointed to the object in the middle, "If I read it correctly, this is a dragon tortoise that suppresses evil spirits."
When the boss heard this, he had an expression of surprise on his face, "You are really a knowledgeable person. This is indeed an evil-suppressing dragon tortoise."
Yang Gan smiled and looked at the Dragon Turtle. This was a magic weapon made from the shell of a centuries-old turtle and ancient bronze coins. The Dragon Turtle was contained in it. It was said that it could suppress evil spirits and bring good health to people. Come good luck. Yang Qian sighed in his heart, "What a good thing! It's really a good thing! It would be great to buy this thing and bring it back to your house!"
"Boss, how much does this evil-suppressing dragon turtle cost?" Yang Qian asked.
The boss weighed the walnuts in his hand and made an eight-digit gesture: "Eight hundred thousand! This is an item with a high price."
Hearing the price, Yang Qian gritted his teeth in his heart. He knew that the price was much higher than the market price, but he still wanted this magic weapon. When he was about to take out his wallet and swipe his card to pay, Zhou Qiao stopped him. He pointed to another item next to him, "How can I buy this Yin Stone Jade?"
After hearing this, the boss's face changed. He didn't expect that Zhou Qiao, looking at his young age, would explain the origin of this thing in one word, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes:
"Five million?"
Zhou Qiao looked at the boss with a smile and said, "Boss, where did you get this thing? Yin stone jade is also called yin and yang jade. It is said that it can reverse the yin and yang qi. The yang qi will not be generated and the yin qi will not be destroyed. This thing is not Like something that should be in the world of the sun.”
Suddenly, a cold wind blew in from outside, and the surrounding atmosphere became weird!
The boss pretended to be calm and said: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Zhou Qiao knocked on the table, "Let's not pretend to be confused because we understand, right? It's boring to talk too plainly."
"this……"
"Okay, I'll tell you secretly, but you have to promise me not to tell anyone else."
"Don't worry, boss, we are just curious - we will never reveal anything!"
The boss nodded, invited the three of them to sit down and slowly talked about the origin of this Yinshi Jade, "This is a possession from the home of an old man named Jiang in our town. This old man has a weird temper and withdrawn personality. He has lived in the town for dozens of years." I have never interacted with the outside world for many years. As time went by, I don’t know when my whole body became pale and pale, which looked like a human being. I don’t know why I came to my place a few days ago and took out this piece of Yinshi jade and sold it to me. Kill me!"
The boss took a sip of water and continued, "I also know that most people can't touch this thing, but it's so rare that I just got itchy and kept it as a store treasure!"
Zhou Qiao frowned, "Yin stone jade, as the name suggests, is a thing from the underworld. If a living person comes into contact with it for a long time, the balance of yin and yang will be lost, and his lifespan may be shortened..."
After asking the boss about the address of old man Jiang’s home, Zhou Qiao planned to go over and take a look. Yang Qian held the black turtle he just bought for 800,000 yuan silly and happily.
Unexpectedly, after all the nonsense between Zhou Qiao and the shop owner, he actually got the boss to use the Yinshi Jade as an extra. It was a free bargain. However, it may be that the boss saw that several people were somewhat knowledgeable and did not dare to risk their lives.
Zhou Qiao and the others came to the door of Old Man Jiang's house. Yang Gan saw something was wrong at a glance and found that this place was indeed a very gloomy place. Although it was broad daylight, the two large locust trees in front of the door blocked the sunlight, which made people feel uncomfortable. It feels very depressing. There is a string of bells hanging at the door, which makes a "ding-dang-dang-dang" sound when blown by the wind, which makes people shudder.
He has studied Feng Shui from his grandfather since he was a child and is very knowledgeable about these metaphysical things. He pointed to the bell at the door and said to Zhou Qiao and Fat Brother: "Look at this bell. Bells are used to guard the house, but the number of bells in this string is wrong and does not comply with the laws of Feng Shui. There must be something wrong here."
Zhou Qiao and Fat Brother don't understand Feng Shui, but they instinctively feel that this place is weird. They went to the door and knocked, but no one answered. Zhou Qiao tried to push the door and found that it was locked. He tried to call a few more times: "Is anyone there?... Is anyone home?"
no respond. Zhou Qiao suddenly remembered that the store owner mentioned that Old Jiang had a weird temper and might not like to deal with the outside world, so they had to retreat outside and wait.
They waited for a long time, but still no one responded. The atmosphere around them became more and more oppressive and suffocating.
Zhou Qiao decided to go in to find Old Man Jiang. He tried to unlock the door, but the door lock was very complicated and could not be opened. They had to go around to the backyard to see if they could get in from somewhere else.
The backyard is also a very gloomy place, overgrown with weeds, and half of the dilapidated house has collapsed, making people feel very desolate. Zhou Qiao, Fat Brother, and Yang Gan carefully walked around the dilapidated house and walked to the other side. They found that a window was half open and they tried to climb in.
It was dark inside the windows and they couldn't see clearly, so they could only walk by feeling. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the darkness and grabbed Yang Gan's wrist, making him feel very frightened.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" An old voice came from the darkness.
"We are here to find Mr. Jiang and want to know the origin of Yinshi Jade." Yang Qian replied cautiously.
"Yinshi Jade? Who are you? How do you know this thing?" the old man asked.
"We learned about it from a Feng Shui shop in town. Are you Old Man Jiang? I wonder how you got this thing?" Zhou Qiao asked.
The old man was silent for a while and asked Zhou Qiao to light the kerosene lamp next to him. Soon there was light in the room. Zhou Qiao and the other three looked at the furnishings in the room. A table was missing half of its corner, and the wooden bench was also old and the bottom seemed to have been gnawed by mice. Generally speaking, the surrounding windows were covered with old newspapers. No wonder there was no light in the room. Maybe it was due to the lack of air circulation. He felt a little bit difficult to breathe. There was almost no trace of yang in the old man. Zhou Qiao and Yang Qian looked at each other, thinking. All of them flashed a sentence: "A living person lives in a dark house and narrowly escapes death!"
