There were only four of us in the room. I placed the jade bowl squarely on the table. The whole room was filled with golden light. Liu Mei had already scooped up the water and slowly poured it into the jade bowl.
Several people gathered around the table and stared at the bowl. At first, there was no change in the water in the bowl, but after just a moment, the water in the bowl seemed to have an undercurrent, "It's moving, it's moving!" Liu Yan first started
When I screamed, I saw that the half bowl of water seemed to be stirred by an invisible chopstick. A layer of trembling ripples floated slightly at the junction of the water surface and the jade bowl, and a gentle sound of water came to each of us.
in the ears
"What does this mean?" Liu Mei looked at the bowl.
"Don't say anything, just watch."
We stared at each other for a while, except for these, nothing else happened. "What's going on?" Liu Mei was a little discouraged, but I heard something different in the slight trembling sound.
ordinary movement
The movement came from outside the window. After a while, Liujia also felt it. She listened with her ears and tiptoed toward the door, then gently opened the door.
In the night-covered yard, long-tailed birds fell all over the ground, and many fell on the trees not far away. "Honey, come and see Liu Mei, Liu Yan," she called to us.
Those birds were the parrots the old monk told us about. I don’t know where they flew from. Before that, I had only seen one when the boat docked.
But there was a lot of them falling on the ground! They were pacing back and forth on the ground. They didn’t startle when they saw us opening the door. They tilted their heads and looked at the four of us.
"Where did these birds come from? How come I haven't seen them before?" Liu Mei said.
"Could it have anything to do with that jade bowl? If it's a little bit involved, I'd be very impressed by that bowl," Liu Yan said.
I walked into the yard and among the birds, and saw them suddenly flying towards the open door. Hejiao was very close to the door. At this time, she was a little at a loss. She didn't know whether to close the door or leave it alone.
Let them fly in and I said, "Let's see what they want to do."
Liujiao understood and moved out of the way. A dozen birds flew into the house first, while the rest remained motionless in the yard, and some flew down from the trees to the ground.
We entered the house quietly, and Liu Mei closed the door. The dozen or so parrots had already landed on the table, surrounding the jade bowl. They looked quiet as if they were performing a sacred ritual.
There was no reaction at all to our entry.
From the gap between the bird's body, I saw that the water in the bowl was still trembling. One of the parrots first lowered its head, its curved beak reached into the bowl, and then raised its head. It was drinking the water there.
Then other parrots came over and drank the water from the jade bowl one by one. The sound of the water subsided little by little. They raised their heads and looked at the four of us without fear.
"Rexagon, open the door."
The door opened silently, their wings fluttered, and they flew out as if they had completed a major task. We rushed to the table. The water in the jade bowl had been filled by less than half of the water.
The trembling sound also disappeared, and everything was as flat as a mirror.
However, a wonderful scene suddenly appeared in front of each of us. The color of the small half of the water in the jade bowl gradually changed, and several chaotic lights and shadows rolled back and forth inside. For a moment, it was hard to tell what was happening.
We held our breath, waiting to see what would come next
"Look, the forest!"
"There's a river here!"
People screamed uncontrollably and I hurriedly reached out to cover their mouths, "Wives, please speak softly. Don't show off your wealth. How can anyone yell like you!"
The scene in the Jade Bowl was like a movie, but there were no movies at that time. Liu Mei said, "It made me a little dizzy. What's going on?" Liujia and Liu Yan also said the same.
The scene in the jade bowl keeps changing, like a kaleidoscope. The scene inside is very clear, but none of us can see what is meant there.
If it was just a jade bowl, there would be nothing strange about it, but after adding water, the trembling sound of the water attracted a group of uninvited guests. They drank a small part of the water, and then these appeared in the water,
I quickly linked the previous and later scenes together, and roughly had my own opinion in my mind.
"This bowl is a treasure, do you have any objections?"
"I dare not say whether it is a treasure or not, but I have no objection to saying it is a weird thing," Liu Yan said
"Hey, how do you know the beauty of it? With it, I guess the road ahead will be much easier for us."
"Oh, then please tell me, husband"
"Uh... this bowl can be used for eating and drinking." They looked at me with some confusion, "Do you even need to say that?" I chuckled and said, "As long as it is filled with water, the sound of water will be heard.
It can attract nearby birds. I haven't made it clear yet... Maybe those birds have an irresistible dependence on the sounding water, but that's not the most important thing.
"
Among the scenes that kept floating in the bowl, I captured a very familiar one, which was the footprints on the top of the mountain of the Big Buddha. I recognized that vivid shape at a glance.
I once stood on a snakeskin kite high in the sky and looked down at that big footprint from the air, so I recognized it at a glance. Now, it flashed past my eyes.
"Husband, stop beating around the bush and tell me quickly."
"This peculiar jade bowl turns ordinary clear water into jade liquid and nectar that is particularly attractive to birds. It uses a special sound to attract them to gather. When they lower their heads and say to drink the water in the bowl,
, the scenes that come into view when they are flying can be absorbed by the jade bowl and played back like a comic strip. Do you think this is a treasure?"
They were hesitant, listened to my words, and leaned over to look again, but the picture there seemed to be a little dim, and slowly once again became chaotic into a mist of different colors.
Liu Mei was a little anxious, "Why is it gone?" I said, don't worry, it can disappear and appear again. If not, then wouldn't there be more and more pictures reflected in the water in the bowl, and in the end they can't be distinguished.
Where is Qing?
"It makes sense, it makes sense." Several people were relieved. Liu Yan rolled her eyes and said to the other two people, "I thought of a wonderful use." After saying that, she looked at me, pretended to be mysterious and leaned over, and put her mouth on
Two of them whispered a few words in a low voice. After hearing this, the other two couldn't help but clapped and laughed, "What a great idea!"
I hurriedly asked about good pronunciation, but they kept waving their hands, "Don't ask more about things you shouldn't know. Sooner or later, you will know what you should know." Hey, how dare you do this?
Liu Mei said, "Can you do it again?"
I said, this is not a problem. We poured out the water in the bowl, filled half of the bowl again, opened the door and walked outside. The jade bowl once again trembled slightly in my hand, and water ripples appeared again.
The night was already very deep, and the patrolling sergeants had long gone. The jade bowl illuminated the yard. We saw that most of the parrots had flown away, but among them, there were some new ones.
Birds that cannot be named
I placed the jade bowl in the center of the yard
The birds of different species seemed to be polite at this time, and there was no swarming over them. More than a dozen birds gathered around them. They were proud to drink a few mouthfuls of water from the jade bowl, and after drinking it, they
They stood up and flew away, and after more than a dozen birds drank, the others would never come forward again, as if they knew that if they drank too much, the scene in the bowl would be crowded and they would not be able to see clearly.
The same thing appears in front of each of us again
I walked up and picked up the jade bowl from the ground. As soon as the water rippled in it, the scene disappeared instantly.
It turns out that it has such a temper that it cannot move and will strike out if it moves. Several people are still unsatisfied, so we started over again for the third time.
This time, we saw the gold mine on the water in the bowl. Liu Mei looked there for a while and said, "Look, isn't this what we saw during the day?"
A vivid picture surged on the water cloth, with shadows of people all over the mountains and plains. You could even clearly see the movements of waving arms. The people inside looked only three-quarters tall, but Liu Mei had sharp eyes. She pointed at one and said
, "That's Liu Yan!"
Because the short shadow seemed to be waving a short sword in his hand, the sword was shining brightly.
"This thing, don't say I'm not interesting enough, I won't give it to anyone who wants it - except for wives, of course." I patted my chest and said, "This is a genuine holographic image capture device. It can collect images of birds flying in the sky."
What you see is shown to us in the bowl!”
I almost immediately thought of its use. From now on, wherever we go, as long as we drink wild birds, they will clearly show us the situation within a few miles, or even a dozen miles. Just imagine, in that place
At that time, which army had such sophisticated reconnaissance equipment?
I told the three of them my thoughts, and they were also encouraged, "Husband, didn't you say that from now on, nothing can deceive us anymore?"
"You can't say that, because at night, the birds can't see anything."
"Didn't those birds just fly here at night?" Liu Mei asked.
"I guess the scene was replayed for a while. Didn't we just see the battle scene? But it was clearly during the day."
In the fourth experiment, it was not the parrots who drank the water this time, but a larger gray wild bird. It stood on the edge of the jade bowl, drank the water and then flew away.
This time, we saw the city of Mannar, and the chaotic refugees on the streets came into our eyes.
"Wives, it's getting late, let's go to bed!" I jumped on the bed with satisfaction. I really had a great success today. In fact, I wanted to take them to the outside of the temple in the dead of night, where there was no one around.
The place is going crazy. It seems that people can't always be serious. When they should go crazy, they have to go crazy.
