Chapter 45: The Old Monk Zhenxie, Pei Family Shiro
[Eight hundred points of white Tao Yun]
Ji Yuan was startled, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
The painting by Shen Haishi,
One hundred and fifty points of white Tao Yun.
"The Golden Bell" at Hanging Temple,
Three hundred points of white Tao Yun.
The soul bottle found in Huaiyinzhai,
Fifty points of white Tao Yun.
All of these combined are incomparable to this thin book in the red wooden box!
"I don't know where it comes from?"
Ji Yuan stroked the delicate cover like mutton fat and white jade.
Suddenly.
There is a strange feeling of touching a woman's skin.
Benedict!
Ji Yuan frowned and pressed the thin book with his palms, his eyes filled with coldness.
"This thing...is made of human skin?"
Pei Tu nodded vigorously and said with difficulty:
"This volume of human skin came out a little strangely, it probably didn't belong to the dead kiln girl.
I found the boy who died suddenly in the woodshed. He was bleeding from all his orifices and looked horrified, as if he had been frightened to death.
He held the human skin book tightly in his hand."
Ji Yuan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself:
"Could it be related to the Yin City again? The ghosts and ghosts?"
Pei Tu drank three or four glasses of wine in one breath and exhaled:
“After I got this thing, I always felt uneasy and like I was being watched.
My neck felt like it was being blown by the cold wind, and my shoulders became so heavy that it was difficult to lift them up.
When I was returning home last night, I happened to meet an old monk holding a broken alms bowl. I kindly gave him a bowl of hot rice.
As a result, the old monk said that my seal hall was darkened, dark clouds were covering my head, and there was a bloody aura between my eyebrows, and there would be a great disaster soon."
Ji Yuan's face twitched as he heard this.
Is this the benefit of the blue destiny [turning bad luck into good fortune]?
Can you meet an expert just by giving you a bowl of rice when you go out?
It makes no sense!
“I didn’t believe it at first and thought it was one of those swindling fortune tellers.
But he took out a bronze mirror and shone it on me with its reverse side... It was so scary! It turned out that there were three or four dead babies with black faces sitting on my shoulders!
Some of them wanted to choke me, some wanted to cover my eyes, and some of them opened their mouths to reveal their fangs, wanting to gnaw my flesh and drink my blood!"
Pei Tu's voice was trembling, and his heart was still frightened. He still feels scared.
If he hadn't given him that bowl of hot rice, he might have died suddenly like that boy.
"Thanks to the old monk who bit off his fingertip and wrote a yellow paper talisman with his masculine blood, which sealed the evil nature of the human skin book and saved my life.
Judging from the fact that his body is full of vitality and blood like a huge oven, he is at least a third-level warrior. It is really unimaginable that such a master would wear rags and walk the streets to beg for alms."
Ji Yuan immediately released his palm, looked at the palm-sized human skin book, and asked in a deep voice:
"This object was so terrible that it killed several people in a row.
Brother Pei, you handed it into my hands? What do you mean?"
Pei Tu hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Brother Ninth, please don't misunderstand, because the old monk made a special statement before he left.
He said that this human-skin book was a very dangerous thing. Although he suppressed it with his masculine blood, it could only keep him safe for at least three months.
If you want to avoid future troubles forever, you must find a person with a very hard destiny and a strong courage to hold it. Only when the two conflict with each other can the solution be resolved."
Ji Yuan knew clearly in his heart that Pei Silang had taken a fancy to his... life was tough enough.
No wonder he would rather take risks to hide this human skin book.
He was still so active, entertaining guests, and asking girls to serve him.
"Brother Pei, how do you know that I am the person with a very hard destiny and strong courage?"
The corners of Ji Yuan's mouth curled up, half-smiling but not smiling.
He will definitely accept this human skin book.
Eight hundred points of white Tao Yun are enough to do many things?
Change your destiny, print your destiny, and even advance your martial arts and weapons!
"Brother Ninth is now famous in Tai'anfang, who doesn't know who doesn't?
Our Tiqi brothers from Beizhen Fusi had long inquired about some of his deeds before he came to visit.
General Xu Xianqi used to bully and dominate the market, and he was extremely majestic, but one of his legs was broken in your hands.
Lin Baihu exploited his subordinates and asked for bribes everywhere, but he was also severely punished by you, and his face was beaten into disgrace.
And Yang Xiu, the righteous son of the Liang Kingdom, was feared by many generals and nobles in Tianjing City, but he was so crushed by Brother Ninth that he couldn't even lift his head!
The following offenders were safe and sound, and the confrontation with Baihu was unhurt... Moreover, when Ninth Brother was at the outer level of refining, he received a slap from Luo Lie, who was in the second level of Tongmai. Not only did he not die, but he was still alive.
Isn’t this kind of fate hard enough?”
Pei Tu became more and more energetic as he talked, and he sounded like a storyteller in a tea shop or a wine shop.
He kept praising Ji Yuan so much that he was like the most powerful person in Tianjing.
"That's almost it."
Ji Yuan interrupted Pei Tu's endless compliments and asked:
"Since you are determined to get rid of this human skin book, why don't you find a place to bury it, or burn it in a brazier, or throw it into the river?"
Pei Tu smiled bitterly and said:
"Youngster thinks so too, but the old monk reminded me that evil creatures rely on their energy to find people. Unless a master of the four realms is invited to use his true energy to eliminate them, they will come back to you sooner or later."
The Four Realm Zhenqi warriors are almost at the same level as the two commanders of the Northern and Southern Yamen.
The divine dragon has its head but not its tail, so it is indeed difficult to get in touch with it, and it is even less likely that it will take action for a Tiqiu.
"Brother Ninth, I definitely didn't mean to harm anyone, it's just that... I'm unlucky enough to run into this kind of thing, and there's really nothing I can do about it."
Seeing Ji Yuan's thoughtful expression, Pei Tu continued:
"My family has a small amount of money. If Brother Jiu is willing to help me and make this evil thing go away for me, I am willing to give you a thousand taels of silver as a reward!"
Ji Yuan's eyes flashed.
This fair-faced Pei Silang is quite generous.
It seems that he is another rich second generation.
He pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement:
"In the final analysis, Brother Pei, the reason why you were entangled in the human skin book was because you were paying attention to the antiquities for me. Of course, I will not ignore it and ignore it.
I helped you with this!"
Pei Tu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then his heart was shaken and a look of gratitude appeared in his eyes.
If you were an ordinary person, you would know the true origin of this human skin book.
It must be avoided, no matter how much money is given, it will not be contaminated.
Because this is equivalent to gambling with one's own life.
"Brother Ninth, if you have any errands in the future, just ask! I, Pei Silang, will do my best to do it!"
Pei Tu meant every word sincerely, so much so that he almost kowtowed to recognize his elder brother on the spot.
Ji Yuan casually responded with a few words and thought to himself:
"From the time Ping Xiaoliu told me that the manager of the Salt Gang, Qian Wu, was dead, to the time when Beizhen Fusi recorded it in a file and listed it as a strange case...
In the end, Pei Silang unintentionally harvested this human skin book. It was the kiln sister of Zuihualou who died for no reason, and the young boy died innocently.
And these cases circle back to the Qian Wu incident.
One pile after another, there seems to be an invisible clue behind them that gradually connects them together.
The monsters in Chenghuang Temple Street, the ghosts in the dark city after dark... What are the ghosts doing to kill people? And what's the reason?"
For a moment, Ji Yuan was lost in thought.
By the time we left Zuihua Tower, it was already dark.
There was only the red wooden box in his arms and the human skin book inside.
It silently reminded him that the night in this world was not safe.
