"Old man, whose handiwork is this?" I asked after looking at the mysterious signature on the painting.
After hearing this, the old man waved his hands and said with a smile: "This is not a cultural relic. It was given by a friend. It is usually hung here to nourish the mind. Do you know the allusion above? A reed crosses the river, faces the wall for nine years, and then breaks.
Standing in the snow, walking back to the west, these four paintings are all about Bodhidharma. Although I am not a Buddhist disciple, I read some scriptures on weekdays, and I can’t say that I have any insights. However, fasting
Heart."
The old man said with an indifferent expression. It didn't look like she was joking. I nodded and asked, "So, the old man is very interested in the concept of Zen Buddhism?"
"Haha, it's not just Zen Buddhism, it's the same with Tantric Buddhism. You've forgotten what I do. These days, the person who protects cultural relics doesn't have any religious knowledge. Let me tell you, not only these, but also the Taoist priests of Maoshan
I also know some things. Oh, if you don’t tell me, I forgot, I have something to show you!”
After the old man finished speaking, he walked into the office, pulled out a sealed cardboard box from under the cabinet, tore off the tape, took out the contents, and then dug out an angular ruler from a large circle of foam.
This ruler can be more than three feet long. It is square and slightly curved. It has some processed copper embroidery on it. Except for the strange color, it is in good condition. I took the thing in my hand.
After carefully looking at the runes on it, he stroked the long ruler with many spells written on it and asked him: "This is something from Maoshan!"
"Yes, this is your Maoshan thing. I thought it was a cultural relic at first, but later I said that this thing is a magic weapon and we can't control it. To tell you the truth, this thing has been kept here for more than ten years.
, strange things always happen at night
, everyone couldn't stand it and decided to get rid of it. You happened to be here, so I gave it to you!" The old man said, and pushed the box to my side. I looked at this thing, and then said: "Old man
, this is too expensive! It’s against the rules!”
"What are the rules and regulations? This is my own thing. I bought it at the antique market last time. I thought it was related to something I wanted to study, so I spent a lot of money. Now, I regret it.
, let me remind you, this thing is quite evil! It even moves at night!" The other party said, looking at the iron ruler with lingering fear, and then shook his head as if he was feeling something.
When I heard this, I couldn't be happier. Although I have the ruler in my hand to protect myself, there is nothing wrong with having one more good thing around. What the old man said is absolutely correct. This thing is indeed evil.
However, most spiritual things are very evil. I took a look at the charm on this ruler, and it should be used to subjugate and eliminate demons. In other words, this is actually a sharp weapon used to fight ghosts.
Unlike the Ming Ruler, the Ming Ruler is too sharp and extremely cruel. The evil spirits it cuts are very miserable. Therefore, people who are familiar with this thing call it a killing weapon. And now this thing appears
A ruler, called "Mingyuan Ruler", is the most typical one used to fight ghosts.
The function of the thing is similar to that of the willow whip. However, compared with the thing that can no longer be used after one use, the heavy iron rod-like thing in front of me is obviously much more high-end than the willow whip, even if I can't use it.
, it is also a very good thing to give as a gift.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that I had really gotten a big deal, but then I thought about it and felt that it was not quite right. What he just said, this thing would move at night, what did he mean???
Thinking of this, I asked, who knew that this was exactly what I wanted, and the old man looked sad and said to me: "I don't know what the specific problem is, but this thing does move at night. I think,
Is there something dirty in this room? What did you sense?"
"Dirty stuff?" I looked at him with a black look on my face. I was quite speechless. Somehow, I seemed to understand something. No wonder I got this gift. It turned out that I wanted to ask for something. By the way, I'm here.
After walking around, I didn't find anything unusual in this house. To say it is haunted, this house is haunted.
The house was all gloomy, but inside, the sun was shining brightly and it wasn't too cold. It didn't feel right, so I turned around and looked around, and after a closer look, I didn't see any mystery, so,
I asked the old man with a confused look on his face: "Is your house really haunted?"
"There must be no trouble in this room." The old man said, laughing. Then he sat on the sofa and patted the armrest on the side. He pointed to the opposite wall with confidence and said to me: "Look over there, can you
What can’t you see?”
"I turned my head and saw that there was nothing on the wall over there. Looking around, there were all cabinet-like things. Only this wall was empty, which was very strange.
After wondering for a long time, I was suddenly startled. Two sword fingers pointed at my temples and I opened my eyes to see. A huge talisman was attached to the wall, and the red light flashed, which was very scary.
"This... is the ability to draw spells from a distance!?" Pointing to the talisman, I looked at the old man in dumbfounded amazement. When the old man saw it, he laughed and explained: "You kid, you must recognize it.
Come out, this is the work of your master Jin Jiuling!
To tell you the truth, right away, I recognized you as the guy Jin Jiuye often mentioned. But, in front of so many people, I couldn’t tell them. It’s just the two of us now.
, I think, there is nothing to hide, honestly
You tell me, this ruler was discovered by Jin Jiuling. The two of us have been old friends for many years. If he hadn't noticed it immediately, I wouldn't have noticed it. Unfortunately, it happened in the blink of an eye.
At that time, the old friend has gone, I still have
There's no point in leaving it here to rust. Seeing that you don't have many things with you, I'll give it to you. However, I should say it up front. I don't take my things for free. Take them away.
Before that, you have to help me clean up this place!"
"So, your place is really haunted?" I said, very puzzled. When the old man heard this, he said: "It's haunted, and it's very scary. If it weren't for this talisman hanging on the wall, I wouldn't be here."
How dare the old man stay here longer? Didn't you see, what time is it? There is no one in the yard, and even the watchers don't dare to stay after five o'clock, it's so weird!"
