I was startled and raised my hand to point at my nose, "Me?"
The fat old man nodded.
Lin Xiaoqiu was reminded, took my hand and asked me to get the white jade gourd.
"Xiao Ning, try it quickly. This little gourd is a treasure. If we can get it, we will make a lot of money this time."
My hand was pulled close to the white jade gourd by Lin Xiaoqiu.
I didn't say I wouldn't take it, but Lin Xiaoqiu holding me like this made it inconvenient for me to move.
"Lin Xiaoqiu, let go of me and I'll get it myself..."
Before I finished speaking, my fingertips touched the white jade gourd.
The white jade gourd was like a burning coal. The slightest touch of my hand caused severe burning pain.
"ah!"
I screamed, quickly shook off Lin Xiaoqiu's hand, and took it back.
Lin Xiaoqiu looked at me puzzled, "What's wrong?"
I folded my hands and looked down at my fingertips.
The pain of being burned was very real to me, but my fingertips were intact. Not to mention being burned, there was not even a red mark.
"As expected." The fat old man stared at me with a half-smile, and the twinkling light in his eyes clearly showed that he was interested in me.
The fat old man was quite arrogant in appearance, but now he stared at me with such interest, which gave me the feeling that he was very vulgar.
I felt uncomfortable and whispered to Lin Xiaoqiu, "Lin Xiaoqiu, we have no chance with this gourd. Don't take it. Let's go."
Lin Xiaoqiu was a little reluctant to give up, but she also knew that this kind of thing could not be forced. She nodded and followed me reluctantly out of the antique store.
As soon as I walked out of the store, I heard the voice of the fat old man coming from the store, "You cannot force life, old age, illness and death. As a Taoist, you should follow the laws of life and death. If you use Taoism to benefit yourself and go against the nature of life and death, you will only end up harming others." Ji. Fellow Taoist, I advise you as a senior, don’t force her and let her go.”
What is he talking about?
Fellow?
Is he calling Lin Xiaoqiu?
I was puzzled, but Lin Xiaoqiu seemed to understand.
She turned pale, then turned around, ran into the store, and said to the fat old man with a fierce face, "Old man, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business! Otherwise, don't blame me for disrespecting your elders, and let your good deeds be ruined." destroy!"
Facing Lin Xiaoqiu's threat, the fat old man's expression did not change at all, he was still smiling.
The fat face, the eyes are narrowed into a slit, like a smiling Buddha. It gives people a feeling of being hidden, like an expert hidden in the market.
Lin Xiaoqiu was very angry. After threatening, she raised her foot and kicked the wooden table beside her hard, which made a clanging sound.
"Depend on!"
She cursed, turned around angrily, walked out of the store, then took my hand and strode out of the mall.
I didn't understand why she was angry, so I asked her doubtfully, "Lin Xiaoqiu, what happened?"
Hearing my question, Lin Xiaoqiu stopped. She looked back at me, her big eyes full of self-blame, "Xiao Ning, I got into trouble."
I frowned and looked at her, "What's going on?"
Lin Xiaoqiu said to me anxiously, "Xiao Ning, I forgot that you are a resurrected person. When your heart was dug out, you died once. It was Liu Ye and Huang and Bai who saved you.
Although you look no different from ordinary living people on the surface, in fact, in the eyes of us experts, your soul is very unstable. Your three souls and seven souls are actually more like ghosts than living souls. "
I was startled.
After resurrecting from the dead, the most obvious change in me is that cold places make me feel comfortable, while places with strong yang energy make me feel breathless and burdened.
But as I have been alive longer and longer, my liking for yin energy and my dislike for yang energy have become less obvious.
Lin Xiaoqiu is a Taoist nun. She has a strong yang energy. At first, she would make me uncomfortable if she came near me. But now that I have contact with her, I no longer have any strange feelings.
I thought this was a good sign. After all, I was becoming more and more like a normal person. I didn’t expect that there was still a problem with my soul!
I calmed down and asked her, "Lin Xiaoqiu, in your eyes, I look like a ghost who has borrowed a corpse to resurrect the soul?"
Lin Xiaoqiu shook his head, "It's not that serious. Resurrection of a corpse is a taboo in the underworld. If you had death energy in your body, the underworld would have sent a messenger to catch you. How should I describe it to you? Your soul is more like a dying person. Very weak, but still breathing.”
Lin Xiaoqiu said, after all, I am still a living person, so the underworld has nothing to do with me.
But people who practice Taoism can see the ghost energy lingering in my three souls and seven souls. If there is ghost energy, it means that I am a dead person, but in reality, I am still alive and well. A very strange thing.
The white jade gourd just now contains very strong yang energy. My hand was burned when it touched the white jade gourd. In fact, my soul was injured by the yang energy. So I only felt severe pain, but there was no sign of burning on my fingers at all.
Of course the soul of a living person is not afraid of Yang Qi. From this, I can be sure that I am actually a dead person.
Resurrection after death is against the laws of heaven.
The fat old man saw this, so he said those words to remind Lin Xiaoqiu not to go against the will, or he would end up getting burned.
Lin Xiaoqiu also knew that the fat old man saw my situation, so he angrily warned the fat old man not to meddle in his own business.
People who practice Taoism often do things they think are just. Lin Xiaoqiu is worried that the fat old man will do the same and harm my life in the name of doing justice for heaven.
"Xiao Ning, I wish I hadn't let you touch that jade gourd!"
Lin Xiaoqiu stamped her feet anxiously, "It's just that the soul is strange. The fat old man doesn't have conclusive evidence, so he doesn't dare to attack you. It's all my fault, how could I forget that you are afraid of Yang Qi!"
As he spoke, Lin Xiaoqiu was so angry that he raised his hand to slap himself.
I quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Lin Xiaoqiu, don't worry. The boss is just reminding you. He has not shown any intention to attack me. Besides, even if he wants my life, Shuo Bai will protect me." Me, this is not an easy task either.”
Lin Xiaoqiu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, there is still Mr. Liu."
Seeing Lin Xiaoqiu's appearance, I was even more afraid to tell her about my suspicions about Shuo Bai.
Not in the mood for shopping anymore, Lin Xiaoqiu and I went back to the hotel to tidy up, and then set off to the train station.
I didn't sleep well last night. When I got on the train, I rested my head on Lin Xiaoqiu's shoulder and fell asleep quickly.
In my sleep, I heard someone calling my name.
The sound floated over from a distance, ethereal, as if coming from another time and space.
I followed the shouts and walked onto a wide road without realizing it.
It's night here, there are no stars or moon in the sky, and the dark sky is like a large piece of black cloth covering the world.
The sky is so low that you can touch the darkness above your head just by jumping, which makes people feel very depressed.
There is a wide dirt road under your feet, gray mist floats in the air, and the light is dim, so you can barely see your surroundings clearly. There were many pedestrians on the road, and everyone lowered their heads and walked forward.
It seemed that everyone was rushing on their way, no one spoke, and no one stopped. There was silence all around, so quiet that there was no sound of footsteps!
I followed the crowd and walked forward. I didn't know where the front was, and I didn't know where I was going, but I had an inexplicable and firm idea in my heart. I wanted to go forward. After walking this road, I reached my destination. The place to go.
I don’t know how long I walked before a light appeared in front of me.
I looked carefully and saw that it was a red lantern floating in the air.
The faint light of the red lantern loomed in the mist. With this light, I saw that behind the red lantern was a wooden arch bridge with a big stone standing at the end of the bridge.
There are three words written on the big stone - Naihe Bridge!
