At this moment, Chen Mo, who was outside, finally used his spiritual consciousness to see clearly the jade pendant in Zhou Ke's hand.
However, this time he was able to observe the jade pendant carefully. Especially when he used his spiritual consciousness, it did not arouse the vigilance of the three people in the room, so he could be said to be using his spiritual consciousness unscrupulously.
But if you don’t observe, you won’t know, but you found that the jade pendant is indeed a cultivator’s thing, but there is something on the jade pendant that surprised Chen Mo. He didn’t expect it to be used like this. This made him use the formation runes.
I have new senses again.
Ignoring Chen Mo's observation, Zhou Ke put the jade pendant, which was about the size of a child's palm, on the Kang table and slowly said to Duomaiti: "It seems that you recognize this jade pendant."
Duomaiti didn't speak, just stared at the jade pendant.
The lights in the room are not very bright, but the jade pendant emits a burning white light under the lights, attracting everyone's attention.
The preciousness of mutton-fat white jade should make people like it. But the story told by Duomaiti and the origin of this jade pendant made the three of them feel palpitated about this jade pendant.
Especially the young man among the three, Zhou Hai, looked at the jade pendant on the table and felt a sense of fear at this moment.
When he saw this jade pendant, he liked it very much and wanted to keep it in his arms. But now, after hearing the story of Duomaiti, he no longer had that thought and just watched the jade pendant flow out.
A feeling of fear.
Finally, after nearly ten minutes, Duomaiti asked bitterly: "Didn't that young man die suddenly? Why is this jade pendant here with you?"
Zhou Ke said: "The young man died suddenly at that time, but because he listened to your words, he wrote a letter after you left, put the jade pendant together, and then mailed it home. So.
, when he died suddenly ten days later, this jade pendant had already reached the recipient's hands."
"As for why it came into my hands, it's actually because my surname is Zhou, and that young man is also surnamed Zhou. His relationship with me is that of uncle and nephew. He is my clan uncle."
When Zhou Ke said this, his face also showed a trace of nostalgia, but also some gloomy expressions. It can be said that the expression on his face now is very complicated. There is a kind of nostalgia, a kind of hatred, and some ambition, etc.
wait.
Zhou Hai is young, so naturally he can't feel what Zhou Ke's face means, it just feels a little strange.
But Duomaiti is almost sixty years old and has rich life experience. Even if he stayed in this desert town all his life and met countless people, he would naturally be able to tell something from Zhou Ke's face.
Therefore, while his eyes flickered slightly, he secretly made up his mind that no matter what Zhou Ke said, he could not agree.
Especially regarding the matter about Xiye Ancient City, no matter what he said, he could never set foot there again. In fact, it was already time to tease his grandson. If he didn't tease his grandson at home, how could he go to the desert to eat?
Do you want to fight hard?
Only a fool would go.
Thinking about it, he took out the iron box under the kang table, and after slowly opening it, he found a box of Mohe cut tobacco. He took out a piece of paper that had been cut long ago, pinched a small amount of the cut tobacco, and put it on the piece of paper.
With a slight movement of the index finger and thumb, the paper was rolled into a small cylinder shape, and then the tongue licked the edge of the paper, and finally turned into a cigarette.
Hold the rolled cigarette in your mouth, take out a box of matches, and light it. Although lighters are now the world, and there are expensive and cheap lighters, Duomaiti still likes to use matches.
.
Even if matches are hard to sell now, if they are sold in the town, he will always insist on using matches.
It's not that Duomaiti is stubborn and doesn't accept new things. Even twenty years ago, lighters became common and he used them, but in the end he still replaced them with matches.
This is because ordinary lighters will have problems in the desert due to high temperatures. However, those expensive fuel lighters will be very inconvenient to live and work in the desert due to their weight and the need to add fuel.
Except for those who pretend to be thirteen and use some fuel lighters, other people, as long as they make a living in the desert, will use some special lighters.
Of course, specially made lighters will naturally be more expensive.
For Duomaiti, it is not as convenient as matches, simple, effective, and cheap. That is why he has insisted on using matches for many years.
Another reason is that he likes to smell the sulfur smell emitted when a match is lit, which gives him a sense of peace of mind.
I lit the cigarette with a match and watched the flames burn to the end. Then I shook my hand, extinguished the match, and threw it into an ashtray made of tinplate.
After taking a deep breath, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
For decades, he has never been used to smoking cigarettes, but he has a special liking for this kind of cigarettes.
Zhou Ke originally wanted to wait for Duomaiti to ask, and then guide the topic, but after seeing so many actions on his part, he did not ask, and he had certain guesses in his heart, feeling that Duomaiti would not promise him anything.
.
However, he is confident that he will find a way to get Duomaiti to agree.
If it weren't for the people who knew the route to the ruins of Xiye Ancient City, the only one in front of him might be Duomaiti, and he really didn't want to spend a lot of effort to talk to Duomaiti.
As a warrior, he has his own pride. At other times, he would not even look at Duomaiti as an ordinary person.
"It's getting late, I think you, my guest, should go back too. As we get older, we always want to rest early." Duomaiti finished smoking the cigarette in his hand and then said to Zhou Ke.
Tomorrow, he will send his grandson to kindergarten and needs to get up early.
After all, he and his children do not live together, but at a distance.
After all, young people like to live in buildings because of the convenience of life. Many elderly people like to live in such bungalows because of the convenience of life.
Although his son had persuaded him many times to let him live with his family, Duomaiti refused and has been living in this bungalow. It is comfortable and convenient for his life. After all, he has been here for decades and no longer wants to
Move again.
Zhou Ke heard Duomaiti's words, but he did not stand up and leave, but said: "Domaiti, don't you want to know how much reward you will get for taking us to Xiye Ancient City?"
But Duomaiti shook his head and said: "I don't want to know. No matter how much you pay, you must have life flowers, otherwise the person will die and no matter how much reward you receive, it will be of no use."
Zhou Ke was speechless, how should we chat like this, damn old man.
If this old man hadn't been the only one who knew the general direction of Xiye Ancient City, he would have definitely turned around and left.
After being speechless for a moment, Zhou Ke continued again: "Domaiti, in fact, I have no choice but to ask you to go to Xiye Ancient City this time."
Then, without waiting for Duomaiti to say anything, he continued: "Since my uncle mailed the things to my family, everyone in their family who came into contact with this jade pendant died suddenly in just a few years.
And died."
"We have also used scientific methods to explore this jade pendant, but we have not found any harmful substances or other substances in it. We only found that this jade pendant has a kind of energy, but because we cannot detect the nature of this energy
What is it, we can only prevent people from touching this jade pendant."
"Now, there is only one girl left in their family, my niece."
"So, Duomaiti, can you take us to search for the ancient city of Xiye again and put this jade pendant back?"
For a moment, the house fell silent again.
Chen Mo, who was sitting on the roof, curled his lips at this time and kept complaining in his heart. He even died suddenly. Returning anything was just an excuse. He definitely had other things to do before he went to Xiye Ancient City.
Because, although this jade pendant sounds scary, it is actually just a jade pendant with runes on it, which can absorb the Yin evil energy floating around. This kind of rune is also a commonly used Yin evil rune in the world of cultivation.
If you are a cultivator, you will generally not wear this kind of jade pendant. Only cultivators who practice heresy or corpse cultivation will use this kind of rune to collect evil spirits.
Moreover, there is basically no such thing as engraving Yin evil runes on jade pendants, and I don’t know what the owner of this jade pendant thinks about engraving Yin evil runes on jade pendants.
Naturally, it doesn't matter if a cultivator wears it, and even if it's worn by a corpse cultivator or a warrior, it has some benefits. But for ordinary people, it has a lot to do with it. As long as you hold this jade pendant, it depends on your physical fitness.
People with high physical fitness will die later. People with low physical fitness will naturally die faster.
Even if the jade pendant is placed in the room for a long time, it will affect the feng shui of the entire house, causing the residents to gradually become sick, etc.
Therefore, even if this jade pendant is not worn, it will be affected wherever it is placed. This is the same as a curse, making all people who don't know it think about the curse.
I don't know, it's terrible.
Chen Mo complained a little bit.
In fact, although Chen Mo has good observations, there are still many things he does not understand.
Although the young man named Zhou did not believe what Duomaiti said, he was still a little worried.
So I sent this jade pendant home, told everything in the letter, and also included the story of Duomaiti.
The young man surnamed Zhou has just gotten married, and his child is only a few years old. But the Zhou family is like a family of warriors, but because he has no talent for cultivation, he can only live as an ordinary person. But his children have talent for cultivation, so naturally
I hope that the value of the jade pendant can be used for children’s cultivation.
He sent the jade pendant back, thinking that if what Duomaiti said was true, then if he died in an accident, his family would be able to get some wealth. Even if the jade pendant of mutton-fat white jade is sold, it can be regarded as a gift.
A fortune.
After selling the jade pendant, the curse on it will naturally spread to others, and your family will gain wealth.
The young man's plan was naturally very good, but it was a pity that his family did not do that.
