Chapter 11 On Jade
Ah! My eyes widened in surprise. "What are you waiting for him to do for you?"
"Help me find the enemy who killed me." The ghost girl Ningxiang gritted her teeth and blurted out a few words. A chilly breath instantly dropped the temperature in the room.
"This!" I frowned and said, "Actually, I am Ni Ge, but I don't think I can help you find your enemy. You have been dead for hundreds of years, not to mention your enemies. Let me help you to transcend!"
Although her tone was calm, I was very surprised! Three days ago! Wasn't it the moment when I just got the news about this house? This person was so accurate. But who is this person? From Ningxiang's tone, it was obvious that she didn't know.
When Ningxiang heard what I said, an expression of surprise immediately appeared on her face.
"Sir, you are Ni Ge. Then tell me who my enemy is and why he wanted to kill me and Xiaohu Niuniu."
Alas! I sighed. What a confused ghost. He has been a ghost for hundreds of years and has forgotten everything. If it weren't for his obsession with revenge, he would have disappeared long ago.
However, the person who introduced Ningxiang to me was the cause, and I bought the villa was the result. The cause and effect with Ningxiang has been completed. Even if I don't help, Ningxiang will follow me day and night after knowing my identity.
If I do this, it will go against my own Dao heart. After all, this Ningxiang didn't harm anyone. It's another unjustly dead ghost. If I do this, I will add another evil karma.
"Okay, relax. How can I know something that you don't know? But since you have been here all the time, your enemies will come back eventually. Also, you should continue to live here and keep an eye on the two little ghosts."
These two little kids are really naughty and really make me feel uneasy.
Since I decided to keep Ningxiang, I removed the formation in the living room.
I found a bedroom on the first floor, shook off the fatigue of the day, closed the door and lay down on the bed.
I didn't notice that the Qiankun Dragon-Seeking Mirror in my backpack actually began to repair itself autonomously.
In the morning, I got dressed and contacted my cousin to go to the flea market to buy some copper coins to replenish the money, and also some incense, candles and paper money.
Since these two children live in the same house with me, I have to do something. As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. What's more, Ningxiang and the two children have been living in this house.
Ten minutes later, my cousin finally arrived. He bravely drove the car to the gate and stuck his head out to look around suspiciously.
"What are you looking at, cousin?" I asked puzzledly as I got in the car.
"Well, Ni Ge, nothing happened here last night, right?" My cousin stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the bamboo forest before asking tentatively.
I laughed and said, "Last night! Nothing happened."
How could I dare to tell my cousin about what happened in the house? My cousin was a little upset when he accompanied me to see the villa yesterday. If he knew about Ningxiang and the two little ghosts in the house, he probably wouldn't come to pick me up in the future.
"Ni Ge, this is Donghua Village, you don't know. I just got off the car to buy a bottle of water. When the shop owner heard that I was coming to the villa, he looked at me like I was a ghost. I asked, what's wrong? Guess what the owner said?"
I asked with interest, "What?"
My cousin suddenly shuddered, and then continued, "That person said that no one dared to come to this villa. It is said that a few villagers thought that the villa must be the home of a rich person, so they went there at night. It was not until the next day that the villagers found out that these people had gone crazy, running around the streets, and shouting, "Ghost! There is a ghost!" After that, no one dared to go there anymore."
As for what happened that night, no one knew except those crazy people. Later, some curious young men in the village secretly went to see what was going on at night. As a result, they saw more than a dozen black shadows floating around in the bamboo forest. The guy was so scared that he ran back in a hurry. He had a high fever that night and stayed in the hospital for more than a month.
I smiled. This villa is actually similar to a hotel. If no one lives here, then it will only be for ghosts. The formation on the second floor of the villa is a Yin-Yang Five Elements formation. At night, it is extremely cold and yin, which is the most attractive to ghosts. During the day, the room becomes extremely strong and yang. Only the small space in the basement can hide ghosts.
It would be strange if these people didn't encounter ghosts when coming here so late at night.
"Cousin, those are just rumors. Look, I am fine as long as I live here. Besides, even though this is an extremely yin place, it only has some effects on the bodies of ordinary people."
Seeing my cousin's nervous look, I had no choice but to comfort him.
The second-hand goods market in Dongmen City is not far from Xijiao. There is a whole street of old furniture, books and paintings. Strangely, there is also a paper-making shop here.
As for the ancient coins, they were piled up randomly on the street like garbage.
I shook my head. There were very obvious signs of machine pressing on these ancient coins, and they were not even bothered to cover up their aging.
There was no choice but to go to the nearby paper-making shop and buy a dozen incense sticks and a few stacks of paper money for the dead before moving forward.
"Ni Ge, why are you buying incense, candles and banknotes?" my cousin asked curiously.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just have to bow to all directions when I move into a new house!" I answered casually.
Worshipping the four directions is a ritual to drive away the ghosts and invite the God of Wealth to come in. The older generation in Xiangyuan County still pays great attention to this. My cousin didn't doubt it.
"Master Duan Qirui, you haven't been here for a long time. I just happen to have something I like. Would you like to come and help me take a look at it?"
A sixty-year-old man ran out of the Treasure Pavilion and excitedly greeted a middle-aged man with a thin face.
I stopped and wondered who Duan Qirui was. My curiosity immediately aroused.
This boy has a round face, thick eyebrows, but his eyes are very clear.
"Well, Boss Tang, how come you found some good stuff? But I can't afford your stuff."
"Haha, Master Duan, you are joking. I know that the things are not worthy of your attention." Boss Tang said while making a gesture with his hand.
Duan Qirui's eyes suddenly became serious. And I was also very curious. This Boss Tang, at first glance, was an ordinary person. But the finger strokes of his hand represented the driving method of this magic weapon. It seemed that Boss Tang asked Duan Qirui to firm up a magic weapon!
The old man welcomed Master Qi into the Treasure Pavilion. I followed him in out of curiosity.
"Hello, both of you, what can I do for you?"
The clerk from Jubao Pavilion came over, looked my cousin and I up and down, turned to my cousin and asked with a smile.
I looked at my cousin and then at myself. Sure enough, I was looked down upon. I usually didn't pay much attention to my appearance. I wore a casual top, jeans, and a pair of sneakers. I really didn't look like someone who could come in to buy things. But my cousin was wearing a well-tailored suit and a huge gold ring on his hand. He looked like a nouveau riche.
Uh! "We're just looking around!" My cousin looked at me awkwardly. I wondered why my cousin came here. The things here are so expensive.
"Then please do as you please. If you like any of them, just let me know." The waiter looked at my cousin's expression and turned away.
"Haha, Master Duan, please be careful." The shopkeeper carefully took out a jade pendant from the box. He handed it to Master Qi and then turned to me and my cousin and said apologetically: "Don't mind, the things in this treasure pavilion are a matter of fate. If you two see anything you like, just call the waiter."
"Ni Ge, let's go." My cousin pulled me and was about to leave with a guilty look on his face.
"Wait a minute, I want to see this jade pendant."
To be honest, I was just curious at first, but when I saw the jade pendant for the first time, I decided to stay.
"Haha, young man, do you know anything about jade?" Duan Qirui looked at me with interest when he heard my words.
"No, I don't know anything about jade." I answered honestly.
Duan Qirui smiled and nodded. Seeing that I was just curious, he stopped paying attention and held the jade pendant with a frown on his face.
"Boss Tang, this piece of jade is not a magic weapon, but it looks crystal clear and cool to the touch, so it should have the effect of warding off evil spirits. Wearing this jade on your body will definitely cure diseases and strengthen your body, and evil spirits will not dare to approach. However, the coldness of this jade pendant is not right. I am not very experienced yet, so I can't tell where it is."
After listening to Duan Qirui's words, I couldn't help but nodded.
Boss Tang was puzzled: "Master Duan, please speak frankly. Jade like this is very rare nowadays. I plan to give this thing to my kid later."
"I think it's fine for collection, but I don't recommend wearing it. The coldness of this jade pendant doesn't seem to be the coldness of the jade itself, but rather it feels like a cold and gloomy aura. To be precise, this jade pendant may not be clean."
"Hey! Master Duan, is this piece of jade really not wearable?" Boss Tang's face suddenly changed. Originally, he thought that even if it was not a magic weapon, it should be a piece of fine ancient jade, but he didn't expect the result to be unexpected.
Haha! I smiled and said, "Boss Tang, I advise you to burn this jade. If you really give it to your child, there might be a bloody disaster."
"Oh, little brother, how did you know that this jade is a sign of bloody disaster?"
Duan Qirui looked at me again with some curiosity.
"Master Duan, you are right. The icy aura of this jade is actually the cold energy of Yin. The most direct reason why I can see this is the resentment ."
Duan Qirui and Boss Tang looked at me as if they were a little confused.
I smiled and continued, "Ancient jade can be divided into two types: inherited and unearthed. This piece of jade is yellow with red, which can only mean it was unearthed. The ancient jade underground absorbs the blood of the tomb owner and naturally has red spots. These spots are the blood. Boss Tang can take a look at it under the light."
