Before I knew it, more than two months had passed. On this day, when I was practicing at home, Wen Qingshan suddenly called me. He didn't say much, and just asked me to go to Guyuan Pavilion as soon as possible.
Speaking of Guyuan Pavilion, I haven't been there for a long time since Qibaozhai was closed. I don't know what happened in Wen Qingshan. I was suddenly asked to go to Guyuan Pavilion, and I was very anxious. It seemed that I had encountered some situation.
I didn't dare to be lazy and rushed to Guyuan Pavilion immediately.
I walked quickly and soon arrived at Guyuan Pavilion, but I didn't see Wen Qingshan. I was about to ask the clerk in the store, but the clerk took the initiative and said to me: "The boss is waiting for you upstairs!"
I immediately went straight upstairs. When I went upstairs, I found Wen Qingshan chatting with a young man. When I heard footsteps, the young man turned his head. I looked the young man around and touched him for about two seconds.
He is about ten years old, wearing a black jacket, with pimples all over his face, a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and evil eyebrows and rat eyes. Moreover, his complexion does not look very good, and his forehead is a little dark.
Judging from the way this guy is dressed, he should be a street gangster. Although Wen Qingshan is acquainted with various religions, he has always disdained to deal with such gangsters. I don’t know what happened today, but he actually invited such a gangster to Gu Yuan Pavilion.
Come to the second floor. You must know that this is where he usually receives distinguished guests.
Just when I was feeling puzzled, the young man alertly asked Wen Qingshan: "Who is he?"
Wen Qingshan immediately stood up and said to the young man with a smile: "This is my friend and an expert in ancient cultural relics. I can't understand some of the things you brought, so I asked him to come over and take a look.
look."
Hearing what Wen Qingshan said, I couldn't help but be slightly startled. Wen Qingshan knew that I knew nothing about cultural relics, but he actually said in front of this young man that I was an expert in ancient cultural relics, and also said that he had something he wanted me to see.
What exactly is going on?
I couldn't help but feel more and more depressed. I was about to ask Wen Qingshan what was going on, but he suddenly winked at me quickly, and then I realized that he wanted me to pretend to be an expert in cultural relics.
Although I didn’t understand why he did this, I was sure there was a reason. I calmed down and asked, “I wonder if Boss Wen has anything to show me?”
"Haha, Shi Yu, come here and take a look at this!" Wen Qingshan said as he picked up something from the table and shook it towards me. Accompanied by a crisp ringing sound, I took a closer look and found that it was
A bronze bell! Moreover, it seems to be the same as the bronze bell in my hand.
It was really hard to find anywhere, and it took no effort to get it. I didn't know where to look for the remaining two copper bells, but unexpectedly a copper bell came to my door.
I immediately walked forward quickly, took the copper bell from Wen Qingshan's hand, held it in my hand and examined it carefully.
After some identification, I was almost able to conclude that this copper bell was one of the five copper bells I was looking for! I couldn't help but feel excited, and I quickly raised my head and asked Wen Qingshan: "Boss Wen, what are you doing?"
Where did you get this copper bell?"
Wen Qingshan smiled slightly, pursed his lips at the young man sitting opposite him, and said: "This little brother brought this copper bell. He brought a lot of things here."
After hearing what Wen Qingshan said, I noticed that there were several antiques placed on the table in front of them, including bronze statues and earth-colored porcelain vases, but every antique had
One characteristic is that there is still soil on it, making it look like it was just dug out of the ground.
The young man raised his head and glanced at me, suddenly stood up, snatched the copper bell from my hand, and said impatiently: "You have seen almost everything, hurry up and make a price!"
After hearing what the young guy said, I realized that this guy was here to sell the antiques in his hands! However, judging from the way this guy was dressed, it was obvious that he was not an antique collector, and there were several items on the table.
The soil on the antiques has not been cleaned yet. From this, it can be inferred that these antiques were most likely obtained through illegal means such as tomb robbing.
Although Gu Yuan Pavilion buys and sells antiques, they generally do not accept antiques of unknown origin, because Wen Qingshan does not want to cause trouble, and from his perspective, it is impossible not to see that there is something wrong with these antiques. If it were in the past, he would have
He sent the other person away, and today instead of sending this guy away, he invited him to the second floor, presumably because the other party had such a bronze bell in his hand.
Wen Qingshan smiled at the young man and said: "Little brother, don't worry, your batch of things is relatively complicated. I have to determine their value first before I can give you a suitable price." After saying this, he raised his head.
He came to me and asked: "How is it? Are the things genuine?"
I was slightly stunned at first, and then I realized that what Wen Qingshan meant was to ask if that copper bell was one of the five copper bells I was looking for.
I nodded: "It's genuine!"
When the young man heard that it was genuine, he immediately said: "Since it is genuine, let's make an offer quickly!"
Wen Qingshan was not in a hurry. He smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry first. My Guyuan Pavilion is a regular store. No matter what you collect, according to the regulations of the Public Security Bureau, you must determine the origin of the item. You tell me first."
Tell me, where did these things come from?"
There was a trace of panic on the young man's face, but he quickly regained his composure. He raised his chest, raised his head, and replied: "These things are all handed down from my ancestors!"
"Handed down from our ancestors? Haha! Don't fool me. If I read correctly, you got these things from a certain ancient tomb! Moreover, it took no more than three days for them to be unearthed!"
As soon as Wen Qingshan finished speaking, the young man's face changed drastically. He immediately stood up and said, "If you don't want to buy it, forget it! I'll find someone else!"
As he spoke, he opened a black backpack placed next to him and prepared to put all the antiques on the table into it. I immediately became anxious and was about to stop him. Unexpectedly, he suddenly yelled, and then
He fell to the ground and rolled back and forth.
I was startled by this sudden situation. At first, I thought Wen Qingshan was just like me. He was worried that this guy would just leave, so he did something to him. He raised his head and asked: "Boss Wen, what are you doing?"
What did you do to him?"
Wen Qingshan glanced at me and said, "I didn't do anything to him. I think he just has some physical problem, so I'll help him up first!"
As soon as I heard this, I quickly stepped forward and helped him up. Unexpectedly, this guy seemed to be very uncomfortable. He held his head in his hands and let out a howl like a slaughtering pig. When I helped him, he was still struggling.
I looked at his face again and saw that his face was livid and his forehead seemed to be covered with a layer of black air!
I couldn't help but be startled. The aura on his forehead was clearly evil. Could it be that he was possessed by an evil spirit? The quickest way to determine whether he was possessed by an evil spirit was to check his eyes, because being possessed by an evil spirit can only
It means that the soul energy in his body has changed, and the changes in the soul energy will first be reflected through the condition of the eyes. As the saying goes, "the eyes are the window to the soul", this is definitely not an empty statement, but has real basis.
It's a pity that this guy's eyes were always closed, and I couldn't see his eyes, so I couldn't confirm whether he was really possessed by the evil spirit.
I raised my head and said to Wen Qingshan: "I'm afraid this guy is possessed by evil spirits! But I'm not sure yet. Boss Wen, can you make him open his eyes?"
"Let me try!" Wen Qingshan immediately squatted down, raised his hand and tapped the inner corners of his eyes twice. It really worked. The guy's eyes, which had been closed tightly, immediately opened them. I
Taking a closer look, I saw that his eyes were blood red, and his pupils were dilated and bulging outward. This was the sign of the center!
"He is indeed possessed!" Without saying a word, I immediately put one hand on his chest, took out a paper charm from my waist with the other hand, and quickly put it on his forehead.
This is not an ordinary paper talisman, but a mahogany paper talisman that I refined myself. Although the runes are not that important to me now, maybe it is out of habit. No matter where I go, I always carry them with me.
I will carry some evil and ghost-repelling charms and zombie-reducing charms, which came in handy today.
After the talisman was attached to his forehead, instead of stopping his struggle, he struggled even more intensely. However, this was a sign that the talisman was working.
I held him firmly with one hand and whispered an exorcism spell in my mouth.
He finally calmed down gradually, then suddenly his head tilted to the side and there was no movement.
I just stretched out my hand to feel his breath and checked his pulse. Fortunately, his breathing was even and his pulse was calm. It seemed that he just fainted.
Generally speaking, for people who have just been possessed by an evil spirit, even if the evil spirit in their body has been expelled, the three souls are still unsettled, so they have to wait for a while until the spirit energy in their body stabilizes before they wake up.
After waiting for another seven or eight minutes, the guy finally slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Wen Qingshan and me, and suddenly seemed to think of something. He turned over and sat up, and asked us nervously: "You...
What do you two want...to do!?"
"It's not what we two want to do, but you should ask yourself what you did to end up being invaded by evil spirits. Just now you suddenly arrived and were possessed by evil spirits. If Shi Yu hadn't taken action in time,
It’s hard to say whether you are still saved or not.”
After hearing what Wen Qingshan said, the young man's expression suddenly changed. He trembled and said, "You...what did you say? Possessed by...evil?" He didn't seem to believe that he could.
Evil.
Wen Qingshan's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly: "How dare you say that these things were handed down from your ancestors! In my opinion, you clearly entered an ancient tomb to steal cultural relics, and accidentally angered the evil spirits in the tomb.
