After driving for two hours, we returned to Majiang County. I was worried about Uncle Tian's injury and asked him if he wanted to go to the hospital. Uncle Tian waved his hand indifferently and said that the wound was not serious.
He was born in the military, and his body was as strong as a strong man. I didn't insist anymore, and under his guidance, I drove into an old house on the outskirts of the county.
This old house was passed down from Uncle Tian's ancestors. Over the years, he has been away on missions and rarely has the opportunity to go home. Therefore, the furnishings in the house are very old and the yard is full of dust.
I hurriedly made some medicine for myself and stayed temporarily at Uncle Tian's house. I took out the prescription given by my second uncle and prepared to take the medicine according to the prescription.
But when I opened the prescription and took a look, I was dumbfounded again.
The prescriptions prescribed by my second uncle did not follow common sense at all. They included black dog bones, old cat's uterine blood, cinnabar, eagle ashes, bezoar, brown gall and other items. Most of them I had never even heard of.
I found Uncle Tian and asked him what he thought of this prescription. Uncle Tian laughed and said that he didn’t understand pharmacology at all, but the prescription that my second uncle had personally prescribed was not wrong, so he just asked me to follow the prescription.
.
My face was full of pain. It was my first time in Majiang County and I didn’t know where to get these medicines, so I begged Uncle Tian to accompany me out.
Uncle Tian promised well at that time, but when he turned around, he received a phone call.
He said "hmm" to the other end of the phone, put down his phone, looked at me very apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, the call just now was from the organization. I received a new assignment and I have to get back to the office quickly."
Go inside."
The department that Uncle Tian works for is part of the "Third Column" under the Southwest Bureau. As for what this organization does, Uncle Tian didn't tell me. He only told me that there was an order from above that he must return to the team within 24 hours, so
There is no time to stay with me.
Before leaving, he took out the key and threw it to me, telling me to live in peace of mind and to just hang the key on the eaves when I wanted to leave.
I responded blankly, feeling quite disappointed in my heart. Unexpectedly, after packing my luggage, Uncle Tian found me, took out a stack of yellowed old book pages from his pocket, handed them to me, and sternly warned, "These pages are
, it records some methods for cultivators to move Qi. Although it is relatively superficial, it will be useful to you."
I hurriedly declined, saying that I didn’t want such a valuable thing.
Uncle Tian shook his head and said, "This thing was given to me by your second uncle back then. It belongs to your Lin family. It is reasonable for me to give it to you now. Secondly, you have that thing in your body.
We are destined to embark on the path of a practitioner, and with these qi-guiding methods, we can avoid many detours."
I took the page in a daze and asked hurriedly, "This thing was given to you by your second uncle? Then why has he never shown it to me..."
Uncle Tian smiled, shook his head and said, "Your old man is a great man. He has put in so much effort for you. Of course, if it weren't for the special situation now, I wouldn't have decided to give you this method privately. By the way.
, there is one more thing I must tell you..."
Uncle Tian changed the subject, his tone suddenly became stern, and he said word by word, "The God-Eating Gu on your body was born in the Jiuyou Pole, a place where even gods and demons are afraid. From now on, you
We must strictly keep the secret, and we must never tell anyone about the possession of the God-Eating Gu to avoid causing misfortune, do you understand?"
I was startled by Uncle Tian's serious expression. I shrank my neck subconsciously and said half-jokingly, "Didn't you just say that my old man is a big shot? Who dares to touch me?"
Uncle Tian laughed and slapped my forehead with his hand, "The world is unpredictable, who can tell clearly? In short, you have to remember that neither your second uncle nor I will harm you, and you will remember whatever is said.
, do you understand or not?”
I nodded heavily, "Yeah!"
"Okay!" Seeing my promise, Uncle Tian's tense face relaxed and he turned around and left.
As soon as he left, I packed up my things, took a taxi, and went to the nearest pharmacy to grab some medicine.
The prescription my second uncle gave me was really weird. I went to several pharmacies and finally got the ingredients together. But when it came time to pay, I touched my pocket and realized how difficult it was.
When I went out, my mother secretly slipped me a few hundred dollars, but it was not enough.
I had just started working and I didn’t have any savings. I thought I had a sick second uncle to take care of at home, so I couldn’t bear to be shameless. I continued to call my family to ask for money. Just when I was thinking about what to do, I ran away that day.
The pendant snatched from the mandrill when going down the mountain.
My heart moved, so I walked to the dark place, took out the pendant and looked at it carefully.
The surface of this pendant is plated with gold, and a blue gemstone is embedded inside. It doesn't look big, but it is dazzling and full of aura.
I secretly thought that if this pendant was real, it should be worth a lot of money, so I bit the bullet and went to a jewelry store on the street.
Generally, this kind of jewelry store not only sells jewelry, but also does recycling business part-time.
The greeter at the door saw that I was dressed plainly and had no intention of greeting me, so he asked me to go to the counter and take a look.
I went up to her and asked her if she would accept the jewelry?
The beautiful woman welcomed the guest but didn't even raise her eyelids, and said in a fake tone, "Sir, we only accept high-end jewelry here..."
My face darkened and I thought to myself, you are just a janitor, why are you looking down on others? I felt so angry that I was about to walk out, but then I thought about it, I have come here, I have to give it a try, so I took out the pendant.
, handed it to her and said, "Can you take a look?"
The beautiful receptionist took the jewelry over and took a look at it. Her eyes widened immediately and she asked me to wait.
She walked into the inner hall with my pendant and seemed to be looking for a professional appraiser.
I was bored, so I leaned against the door and waited.
After less than half a cigarette, the welcoming lady appeared again. At this time, her face already had a flattering look, as if she had just taken a **. Her eyes looked at me much more charming, and her voice was soft, "Mr.
Our manager would like to invite you to the inner hall."
I was a little impatient and asked how much I could exchange for that thing. Please give me a price quickly. If you can exchange it, I would exchange it. If you can't exchange it, return it to me right away.
At this time, a middle-aged man with short-sighted glasses and a rich face walked out of the lobby of the jewelry store. His hair was slicked back and combed meticulously. He approached me with a smile on his face and said, "Sir, please don't be anxious. Come in first and have a drink. Let's have a good time."
chat."
When I went to the inner hall, this man who looked like a manager took the initiative to serve me tea, introduced himself as Wang, and asked me what my name was.
I just wanted to get enough money for the medicine as soon as possible, and without thinking too deeply, I asked him, "Manager Wang, how much is that pendant worth?"
Manager Wang thought for a moment and then said something that made me tremble,
"The pendant given by Mr. Lin is very rare. It is a fine gemstone and jade pendant. According to the market price, we plan to purchase it for 80,000 yuan."
