Chapter 46: Fragment of the Jade Plate

Swords and swords flashed, blood flowed into rivers, wives and children were separated, the land was starved to death, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed!

In an instant, the information I received in my mind made me burst into tears.

There was a sudden heat in my chest, which brought me back to reality.

Then he broke into a cold sweat.

I took a few deep breaths, made kneading movements with my fingers, and silently recited the Qingxin Mantra in my mind.

"Little sir?" Professor Zhao's voice came from behind.

I closed my eyes, turned around, and saw a worried look on his face, and Director Liu who had fallen into an intoxicated state with tears on his face.

I quickly stepped forward and slapped Director Liu on the shoulder, "Director Liu!"

Director Liu seemed to have woken up from a start. After he came to his senses, he wiped his face with some embarrassment, "Sorry, it has always been like this before, but I don't know what happened today, but..."

I knew he was talking about something that made him cry uncontrollably.

Don't talk about him, I was also affected.

"It doesn't matter, just don't look at it!" I comforted.

Professor Zhao still looked worried, "Why are you like this? How come I'm okay?"

I don’t know clearly about this, maybe everyone receives different signals!

"You two sit down first, let me see what's going on!"

"Okay! Little sir, be careful!"

I calmed down my mind, walked to the painting again, and finally saw it clearly.

This painting is indeed different.

The bright red umbrella looked particularly eye-catching in the falling snow, but there was a strong black evil aura attached to the umbrella, slowly emanating outwards.

Even the outline of the beautiful woman is stained, especially the woman's eyes, which look like real eyes.

I took a step to the left, a step to the right, stepped back, and moved forward. Those eyes were always looking at me.

"How are you, young sir?" Director Liu asked from behind.

"There is human blood mixed in the paint on the umbrella surface and in the human eyes!" I said softly, "Maybe the person who painted the painting vomited blood when he was dying, or cut himself."

"how so……"

I could clearly hear their gasps.

I took out a yellow paper charm from my bag and stuck it on the back of the painting. The evil spirit stopped moving and would not spread out.

"Is this enough?" Professor Zhao was very interested in my yellow paper charm.

I said: "It's okay for now, don't let anyone take away the talisman!"

"Okay!" Director Liu quickly agreed.

I feel that things are not that simple, otherwise, the information I received would not be so complex and the emotions so strong.

I sat across from the two of them and looked at them, "Director Liu, Professor Zhao, can you tell me about this painting?"

"Okay, okay!" Curator Liu nodded repeatedly and looked at Professor Zhao, "This painting was an archaeological discovery by Professor Zhao and his colleagues!"

"Then let me tell you!" Professor Zhao said.

Then, he told me in detail how he found an ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty from the things in the hands of a tomb robber, how he excavated many cultural relics from the ancient tomb, and finally sorted them out and sent them here.

Said it once.

Other cultural relics are easy to say, but the life of the owner of the tomb is not clear, I don’t know who he was, and nothing with writing has been excavated.

Even this painting, signature and title are missing.

"What are the things unearthed with this painting?" I asked, "Can you take me to see it?"

"Okay!" The two stood up at the same time. Director Liu opened the door first, "It's right where the painting was placed."

I then returned to the exhibition hall and saw several display cabinets under the painting.

In the display cabinet, there are many ancient coins, jades, pottery, porcelain, etc.

Professor Zhao said: "When they were unearthed, these things were placed in a coffin together with the painting. There were no bones in the coffin, only the painting and these funerary objects."

I nodded and looked at them one by one.

Suddenly, my eyes froze because I saw something that should not appear in an ordinary person's tomb.

"We have been studying this piece of jade for a long time, but we have not been able to figure out its function!" Professor Zhao said, "Basically, there is no jade that we don't know the name of now, only this! Later, many of our experts thought that it might be

An ordinary piece of jade is put on display here."

I heard it with my ears, but there was something strange in my heart.

This jade piece is indeed a fragment. If it is complete, it should be a jade plate. It is the earliest object used to catch ghosts and pretend to be ghosts in our Feng Shui industry.

However, nowadays we rarely use jade, but instead use cloth bags with talismans drawn on them, which are cheaper and easier to make.

Making a jade plate is very cumbersome and requires engraving talismans and seals. If you don't pay attention and make the wrong engraving, the entire jade plate will be ruined.

This jade piece was less than four or five centimeters in size, with only a few scratches on it, but I recognized the scratches at a glance as the talisman feet when drawing the talisman and seal.

In this case, the identity of the tomb owner is a bit suspicious, maybe he is traveling with us!

"This is a jade plate!" I said.

"Jade plate?" Professor Zhao was very surprised. "This curvature and incision are different from the jade plates we know!"

"Yes!" I said, "This is something only used in our industry. It's just that it's very difficult to make, and it has long been replaced by other things!"

"Oh!" Professor Zhao nodded thoughtfully, "I wonder if you can tell me in detail?"

He suffered from an occupational disease, but now is not the time to talk about it, so I can only say it briefly.

"In our industry, we will encounter some evil things that ordinary people can't see!" I paused here. Seeing their surprised expressions, I knew they understood, so I continued, "In ancient times,

, People in our profession will use jade plates with talismans painted on them to temporarily confine evil spirits and help people avoid evil spirits. Now we use cloth bags with talismans painted on them!"

I took out the red cloth bag from my bag and showed it to them.

Professor Zhao and Director Liu immediately took it and looked at it carefully.

In fact, even if you are not an expert, you cannot understand it at all.

It is an ordinary red cloth bag with talismans drawn on the outside, and the mouth is tightened with a belt soaked in cinnabar, black dog blood, rooster blood and the juice of some extremely yang things.

"Jade plate? Red bag? The difference is huge!" Professor Zhao said with a smile.

I nodded, and there was no joke that he did not understand this, and said: "It is indeed a big difference, but now there are not many evil spirits who need to use the jade plate, and it is too troublesome to make and inconvenient to carry. Later generations will

I thought of various ways to replace it, but now, this red cloth bag is the most practical and safest!"

"So that's it!"

I won't say any more, it's time to do things now.

"Director Liu, can you take this out?" I asked, "Put it in a red bag and don't touch it with your hands!"

Curator Liu, who originally took out his gloves to put them on, was stunned for a moment, "Can't my gloves work? We all wear these when handling cultural relics!"

When I heard this, an idea flashed in my mind, "You mean, you all wore these gloves to touch this jade plate?"

"I am the only one who has come into contact with this jade plate. After all, I am responsible for the jade in our collection!" Director Liu said.

I understood instantly, no wonder he was influenced by that painting and not others.

"Well, you open it and I'll get it!"

"good!"

Director Liu opened the showcase and took out the tray at the back. I picked up the jade pieces through the red cloth.
Chapter completed!
