It was already dawn and I had to get up and wash. In the mirror, I am full of red blood. Qin Yiheng said earlier when he entered the industry that long-term exposure to unclean things is easy to break the life of the sun. Looking at the current situation, I am afraid I will die early.
After waiting at home for a while, Qin Yiheng called me and called me downstairs. I went downstairs and got into his car, and I didn't wait for him to speak up. I talked about yesterday's experience. After that, I quickly put the seal that the old man gave me yesterday into his hand. I didn't get angry when I did this, but I really didn't get enough sleep. I'm afraid I won't say it now. I feel dizzy for a while, and I'm more prone to omissions.
After listening to it, Qin Yiheng extinguished the fire of the car, took the square seal for a long time, and finally asked me, "Did the old man not say what his name was?"
I shook my head and said, "It's not that I have no skills, the old man's palace is too deep." After I finished, I asked, "Why is this square seal?"
Qin Yiheng lifted the seal a bit higher, looked at it a few times against the sun, and said, "This thing is not a evil thing. It is a very simple rune that suppresses evil spirits underneath the seal. But because of its simplicity, this thing It ’s strange.
He said, turning the seal over, pointing at the rune above and telling me that this kind of rune is too widely used, not only for Taoism, but also for the big fairy who asks the upper body of the to make it, or even keep it uneven The old lady who has seen the world can write it. The strokes are not complicated. If you memorize it a little, you can remember it. It is a very popular rune. But because of this, it is really too simple. It should not be carved into a seal. It can be written by anyone, and it is very easy to write. It is superfluous.
Throughout the ages, there are indeed some runes that have been carved into seals, but there are only a handful, and at that time, there were some specific uses that had to be carved. Speaking of this, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then he looked up and told me that he might have guessed the significance of the existence of this seal, that is, the users of this seal need to make a lot of repressive spirits and suppress evil It ’s too late to write, so I came up with such an idea.
Qin Yiheng pouted, he said, and continued, but he couldn't figure out, there would be things that need so many spirits to suppress evil spirits, and it is also in a harsh time. This is really ridiculous, because this kind of symbol, each family uses only one, although the use of more is harmless, it has no effect of adding value.
His analysis gave me a wake-up call. I thought this thing was used to mass-produce spells? Was an insider taking a big job and showing the house stickers to a building or a community? I thought about it again. Since the old man found me and is so mysterious, would he want me to find a house with a lot of soul suppression and evil symbols? It ’s just that the old man ’s tips are very vague. When I thought about it, I asked Qin Yiheng. The old man asked me to find the same thing. What does it mean?
Qin Yiheng lit a cigarette, thought for a while, shook his head, and sighed: "I am afraid that this thing will not be finalized for the time being. Listen to your description. The old man has a problem and it is for sure. The next thing is the same, I am afraid this old man is probably the reason for the disappearance of Liu Lame. The water in the middle is really unfathomable. "
Listening to his emotions, I did not touch it too much, probably because it was too sleepy. Many people staying overnight know that if you wake up like me for an hour or two, you might as well wake up by not sleeping. I also lighted a cigarette and took a big gulp before reacting. Qin Yiheng pretended to be a ghost and asked me what should I buy? And he was so good yesterday, why did he disappear for a day?
When asked, he lost his cigarette butt, started the car, took a deep breath, and told me: "After getting up yesterday, I also found out that the couplets given by Fang Wanjin were not written by Fang Wanjin! He is well-known for his character measurement and his calligraphy is not too bad. He is also a good-faced person who likes to show off. The Spring Festival couplet is a tool for showing off his brushstrokes. He has always written it in person, especially when it is sent to friends like this. I am worried about it. What a poor pool, I hurried to find Fang Wanjin. As a result, the old man ’s shop was closed. I asked the surrounding shops that they all said that the old man would leave a message.
"I'm afraid Fang Wanjin also suffered something unexpected. I drove to the airport of the railway station and the long-distance passenger station to inquire for a whole day. There was no news of the old man. It was only when I gave up in the middle of the night that I was going home. In response, if Fang Wanjin stayed, going far away was not the point, the point was to buy enough things.
Speaking of this, Qin Yiheng looked at me seriously and crooked, saying,
When the brain had no leisure time before I have forgotten the important things. Today is the day when Cage Street opens for business! "After I finished speaking, I started the car and set off without waiting for my question.
He started very fast, and the road from my house to the outside is very narrow, and it is a test of technology. I didn't dare to open my mouth and ask him what was cage street. I looked at the oil gauge and only half a cylinder of oil was left. It was estimated that he wouldn't go far, and I wouldn't even ask, just thinking about it later.
Sure enough, Qin Yiheng didn't mean to go out of the city. He just drove around the city in a circle, and then went straight to the development zone in the west of the city.
On the way, I was still thinking, why have I lived in this city for more than 20 years. Although I rarely drive by myself, at least the road is almost the same. How come I have never heard of a place like Cage Street? As a result, when the car stopped, I found that the place we came to was not a street at all, but a very narrow alley. The car could not drive in. On the edge of the development zone, two rows of farmers in the suburbs built their own. In the middle of the room.
After getting out of the car, Qin Yiheng didn't explain, and took me straight into it. There are already seven or eight people in the Hutong, all of them are gathered together, and what they are watching is not visible from the outside.
The two of us squeezed out a position to stand, and I saw a long broken case in the middle. There were several bird cages on the case. Each bird cage had a wooden box, and the wooden box was large and small.
The group of people around was pointing and pointing, but nobody touched it.
I am a little confused at first glance, is this a legendary black market transaction? Isn't there anything antique or something stolen from the tomb? I've figured out why this place is called Cage Street, co-operating with others to buy things for plastic bags, and here to buy things for a bird cage?
I wanted to ask Qin Yiheng, when he saw that I was about to speak, he signaled me not to squeak, but also handed me a cigarette, which blocked my mouth. When I saw him like this, I could only smoke and wait and see.
When the cigarette was about to smoke, they were squeezed in from the outside of the crowd. Both of them were fat and fat. One was fatter than the other. They did n’t open their mouths when they came in, but the fatter one stepped forward to pick up the birds The cage swayed for a few times, similar to the old man walking the park in the morning.
When he shook the bird cages one by one and put them away, he went out from the crowd, leaving another fat man, looked around and cleared his throat.
The more I look at it, the more interesting I am. I know this case of placing a bird cage. I have seen it before watching the treasure app of the TV station. This thing is not a table. A bird cage made of bamboo is placed on top of it, so it can be regarded as Chinese traditional culture. Is this fat man clearing his throat now to sing Beijing opera? The group of people who are all together are ticket friends?
Unexpectedly, after the fat man cleared his throat, the people around the case all stepped back several steps. Qin Yiheng also dragged me a bit and told me to back away.
Then, the fat man standing in front of the case opened his mouth, pointing to the first bird cage and asking, "Do you want to put it here?"
There was an immediate response from the crowd. The fat man nodded, than drew a bit, and called the responding person out. The man stepped forward and carried the bird cage, followed the fat man to the self-built house in an independent courtyard behind him. After waiting for about ten minutes, the fat man came out again, still pointing at the second birdcage and asking, "Do you want to put it here?"
There was still a response from the crowd this time, and he went out carrying the bird cage and the fat man into the yard as usual. After a while, the fat man came out again.
I was completely dizzy. I took a closer look just a moment ago. This bird cage is not new. Several bird cages even have a lot of bird droppings, and the wooden box inside is not like a new object. child. What is this thing for? What did the fat man say? I think this posture is a bit like an auction!
Qin Yiheng stared at the fat man intently. When the fat man opened his mouth and asked about the third bird cage, he responded directly with a "release" and stood out from the crowd, asking me to follow the fat man carrying the bird cage into the yard.
When I entered the yard, I found that most of the yard was covered with shacks, and there were many bird cages inside, and some were covered with red cloth. However, from the outline, it was also a bird cage, and there were countless. I don't have time to take a closer look. I don't know if there is a wooden box in every cage. Anyway, as far as I can see, there is a wooden box inside. This place feels more and more evil, making it similar to the market of flowers, birds, fish and insects, but the contents inside it do not match at all.
I did n’t have time to think about it. We walked into the house through the yard. The fatter fat man was sitting in a living room, waiting to see us. When we came in, we nodded and said hello, then moved a pos from the side. machine. Qin Yiheng was also unambiguous and swiped his card when he stepped forward.
I glanced at the amount displayed on the pos machine, which was quite a lot, tens of thousands. My heart said that his mother was so expensive, isn't Qin Yiheng gambled again?
However, I could n’t ask in front of the two fat men. I had to wait for him to swipe the card and take me out of the other door of the self-built house. Then I shot him and asked him what the was going on.
