Chapter 405 Mysterious Blood Jade

It has been more than a month since I returned to the small county. During this time, several households stayed at home.

It's not that I've become lazy, but that I've been getting acquainted with my new abilities for more than a month.

Breaking through to the fifth hexagram of Qianlong, although it experienced some small twists and turns, it was finally a success.

This hexagram named Divine Concentration of Yin and Yang brought me surprises that far exceeded my expectations.

Compared with the previous hexagrams, Shen Guan Yin Yang did not directly improve my strength, it is an auxiliary hexagram.

But in my opinion, this auxiliary hexagram image has the combat power not weaker than the mantra of my life.

Concentrating on Yin and Yang, as the name suggests, it allows a person to travel between Yin and Yang, and it has the same effect as walking the yin and yang.

However, going through the Yin world needs to go through a set of complicated rituals, at least one person is needed to assist, and the body will stay in the Yang world.

Shenquan Yinyang does not have these shortcomings. I have tried it many times. When it is activated, I will travel to the underworld instantly with my body.

However, because of his lack of ability, this state can only be maintained for less than 1 minute.

This short 1 minute is definitely not enough time to go to the underworld to do business.

But in battle, it can dodge the opponent's attack, and can suddenly appear behind the opponent. The magical effect of this is far beyond its own function.

I picked up my phone and checked the time. Today at noon, I asked Zhen Qingyi to have dinner together.

Since Zhen Qingyi came back, she has been in a busy state, and the time we spend together is very limited.

But I can understand, after all, it took more than half a month to go to Panlong Town, so she must have accumulated a lot of work on hand.

Just about to make a call to her, the phone rang, and the caller ID showed that it was Zhen Qingyi calling.

I smiled dumbly, maybe this is a tacit understanding.

After answering the phone, Zhen Qingyi's voice on the other side was somewhat apologetic, saying that he had to receive a client temporarily at noon and might not be able to have dinner together.

I said it's okay, work is important, and things like eating can be done at any time.

After I hung up the phone, I was inevitably a little disappointed, thinking that being so idle was not a solution, I had to find something for myself to do.

Fatty Wang, after returning to the small county town, has been sneaky and his whereabouts are erratic.

But I do know that he secretly took some of the antiques in the secret room on the main road, and now he probably sells them when he is wandering around.

Just as I was about to go out for a walk, the phone rang again. When I saw the name on it, surprise flashed in my eyes.

It turned out to be Jiang Qing's call. We haven't been in touch for a long time since the last Nanyang farewell. The last time we talked on the phone was more than a month ago.

At that time, she was sent to a small country in Africa to help with population quarantine. Because she was busy, the two sides didn't have a few words.

On the other hand, Zhen Qingyi was more diligent in contacting her. The two women often chatted for more than an hour on the phone.

I felt a little strange, I don't know why she called. Speaking of which, she works for the Red Cross and runs around all day, busier than Zhen Qingyi.

I connected the phone, put it to my ear, and said in a mocking tone: "Why is Dr. Jiang so free today?"

"I'm back in China, find a time, call Tsing Yi, let's get together." Jiang Qing's voice is always so gentle and calm.

"Going back to China? Are you working here temporarily, or?" I was a little curious.

"After so many years of running around outside, I am also tired, so I applied for permanent residence in China, and I will not go out anymore." Jiang Qing said on the phone.

"Congratulations! Which city are you working in now?" I congratulated the other party.

"Hehe, guess what." Jiang Qing chuckled on the other side of the phone.

"Probably a first-tier big city like Shanghai?" I guessed.

"I'm sorry, you guessed wrong, I'll give you another chance." Jiang Qing's voice was playful.

I accidentally recalled that the last time Zhen Qingyi talked with her on the phone, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he said hurriedly: "Could it be in our small third-tier city?"

"You guessed it right, I'm in the city's No. [-] Hospital now, and I'll have dinner here tonight." Jiang Qing said with a smile.

In our small county, it only takes more than ten minutes to drive to the city. I never thought that Jiang Qing, a senior doctor with good qualifications and abilities, would settle down in our small third-tier city.

"That small temple in the city hospital can't accommodate a big Bodhisattva like you." I teased him.

"Don't underestimate the current city hospital. The Red Letter Society has just reached a cooperation agreement with the city's first hospital and is planning to set up a blood center here." Jiang Qing said on the phone.

I was taken aback for a moment, thinking to myself, it's just a blood donation station, why should it be so serious?

However, I immediately laughed at myself, knowing that the blood center that Jiang Qing said was definitely not as simple as a blood donation station, and Jiang Qing who was dispatched here might be the person in charge of this matter.

After chatting for a while, we agreed to have dinner in the city at night, and I hung up the phone.

It's still early, and Zhen Qingyi is still busy, so I didn't bother him.

After thinking about it, I decided to go to Ghost Detective Xu to have a look.

It was a coincidence, as soon as I approached Ghost Detective Xu's office, I saw Fatty Wang lying on Ghost Detective Xu's office. The two of them put their heads together, as if they were studying something.

I knocked lightly on the door, walked over with a smile, and said, "What are you two busy people studying?"

Ghost Detective Xu raised his head, greeted with a smile, pointed to a jade pendant on the table, and said, "Fatty, this guy has thrown away a rare item. I'm not sure about the price. We're researching it."

I walked over, slapped Fatty Wang on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Tell me honestly, did this jade pendant come out of the secret room of Shenglong Temple?"

After Dao Ji's death, he left behind many valuable cultural relics. I couldn't let these things go to waste in that secret room, and I didn't want to make money, so I handed them over to Jiang Xiaoxi for disposal.

But Fatty Wang, a cunning guy, definitely hid some private goods secretly. Anyway, it is something that has no owner.

Fatty Wang was taken aback by a slap on the shoulder, and immediately quit, turning his mouth up and down, complaining a lot.

After complaining, You patted his chest and assured that this jade pendant was bought by him, and it had nothing to do with Shenglong Temple.

I smiled noncommittally. I have always had reservations about the guarantee of this product.

However, I was also a little curious in my heart. I wanted to see what kind of jade pendant it was. The two elders stayed in the office and studied it for most of the day.

The jade pendant on the table has a simple and simple shape, covered with a layer of warm paste. At first glance, it makes people think that this piece of jade has an extraordinary origin.

I picked up the jade pendant with two fingers, looked at it against the sun, and saw bloodshot streaks in the jade, like a few tiny swimming dragons, circling around.

"You are a corpse jade soaked in blood, which you received from Master Tu?" I frowned and stared at Fatty Wang.

"You can see clearly, the fat man will collect such unlucky things as corpse jade?" Fatty Wang is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.

The current antique market is full of fish and dragons, and blood jade has also become popular, but I have always been less interested in things picked from the dead.

I saw Fatty Wang's look of being wronged, doubts flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the jade pendant again.

"Do you dare to say that the red thread in this jade is not the blood of corpses that seeped in?" I frowned.

"Heh, if you say this, you are an amateur. Ordinary people can't tell the difference between corpse jade, and I don't believe you can't tell the difference either." Fatty Wang looked at me mockingly.

Seeing this guy, it didn't look like he was joking, so I hesitated for a moment, stretched out my hand and bit my finger, tapped my eyes twice, and opened my eyes.

After blinking twice, I faced the sunlight again and looked at the ancient jade in my hand.

If the hand is really a piece of corpse jade, then it is unavoidable, it will be contaminated with corpse aura, which will undoubtedly be revealed under the gaze of the discerning eye.

But I tossed and turned, held the ancient jade in my hand and looked at it for a while, but I didn't find a trace of corpse aura from it.

"Strange, isn't the red thread in the jade the blood of the corpse?" I asked myself suspiciously.

"If there are red threads in the jade alone, it's not worth our research for a long time. You should take a closer look." When Fatty Wang said this, his face was a bit smug.

I know this guy too well, just looking at his smug fart, I know that this piece of ancient jade probably has other strange things.

Seeing that guy's stinky fart, I got angry and didn't bother to ask him. I looked at Gu Yu carefully again, and I was a little unconvinced. If I don't believe that Fatty Wang can see things, I can't see them.

Facing the sunlight outside the window, I stared at Gu Yu for a while, and finally saw some ways.

"Those red threads in the jade are actually like living things, they can swim by themselves?" I was in disbelief.

"Now you know why a well-informed antique expert like Fatty is uncertain about the value of this piece of ancient jade, right?" Fatty Wang raised his head proudly.

"Just you, still an expert in antiques? Pooh!" I spat in disdain.

"What do you mean, return the ancient jade to me." Fatty Wang was angry.

We are all old acquaintances, just joking, but this magical piece of ancient jade really aroused our curiosity.

If I don't understand the origin of this piece of jade, and the reason why the red silk can swim inside, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep when I go back.

But when it comes to antiques, the three of us are all laymen. Even Fatty Wang, who claims to be an expert, is still half a bucket of water. After some discussion, we decided to consult an expert.

This expert is Fatty Wang's uncle and grandpa, the former curator of the museum who has retired. After the old man retired, he lived in a small courtyard in the suburbs of a small county town to spend his days.

When we passed, it was just in time for lunch. The old man was sitting at the table in the main room, drinking wine and eating pork head meat, with a happy expression on his face.
