In this session of the Metaphysics Grand Competition, several senior brothers from the Xingyi Sect were injured due to previous accidents, leaving only one healthy Ju Jingbai.
The surrounding...
"Did you go to the doctor this afternoon? What did the doctor say?" Ju Jingbai subconsciously thought that He Sishui was being haunted by something bad today. Some things must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it will result in sudden death. She pulled a stool for He Sishui and asked while pouring water, "Did you encounter anything strange?"
As I was asking, Chu Qiu also poked her head out of bed. The game's bombardment sound, "Destroy the enemy's protection tower...", was turned down, and she also asked, "Are you feeling well? Didn't your uncle make an appointment with a top doctor specifically for you? What did the doctor say?"
"Don't mention it. I didn't even go to the hospital. Didn't I just say I went to the temple this afternoon? My uncle got some folk remedies from somewhere, saying that some famous temples can remove evil spirits from people, and no matter how sick a child is, they can become healthy. So I went to ask for a wooden plaque." He Sishui pulled out a small plaque made of peach wood from her neck. It was engraved with ancient characters in seal script. "The master in the temple swore that there was an evil spirit in me, and this plaque would bless me with good luck in the future."
"Amulet?" Ju Jingbai couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, yes, it's called a peace amulet. It's said to be made of thousand-year-old peach wood. Xiaobai, have you seen it?" He Sishui said.
"Yeah, I've seen others wear it before," Ju Jingbai frowned. The peach wood amulet, as its name suggests, is a talisman for safety. Better ones might also attract wealth and fortune, but it's definitely the safest talisman. How could it possibly change He Sishui's fortune?
Even if I change, will it make my already bad fortune even worse?
It should only change for the better!!!
Could it be that someone has tampered with the amulet?
"Si Shui, which temple did you get the talismans from?" Ju Jingbai asked.
"It's the Hongming Temple in Hongshan. I remember it's quite famous." He Sishui said.
"The things in that temple are not cheap. Will this wooden sign work?" Ni Tiantian asked doubtfully.
"I don't know." He Sishui shook her head, stroking the wooden sign and said, "I told my uncle not to buy it, and he didn't listen to me. My uncle personally waited in line for an entire afternoon just for this little wooden sign."
"If your uncle has to queue up, then this wooden sign must be worth millions." Ni Tiantian said in shock.
Uncle He Sishui is a very famous boss and is often featured in local newspapers.
"More than that, two million, that's too much." He Sishui complained.
Ju Jingbai was about to ask He Sishui which master crafted it, but she froze for a moment. She moved closer, pulled the wooden sign over, and examined it from left to right. The more she looked, the more familiar the sign looked. The patterns and writings seemed to her. When she saw the plum blossom print in the lower left corner, she couldn't help but ask, "Is that it?"
"Yeah." He Sishui also felt distressed.
Ju Jingbai thought of the amulets made from scraps of peach wood swords that his senior brother had taken away from him, and he twitched his lips in shock. "I can't even find a place to set diamonds on them. How can they be worth this much?"
"Hey, you can't just look at the price when you wear this kind of thing. Do you feel any better when you wear it?" Chu Qiu put down the game for a moment, got out of bed, and touched the wooden plaque. "Your price isn't that high. I heard from my mom that someone in our neighborhood sold a house to get a jade amulet for their newborn child."
"Really?" He Sishui shook her head. "It does feel a little warm when I put it on."
"If you can feel it, then it's not a scam. You have to wear it for a long time." Chu Qiu has done a lot of research on these supernatural things, and she said confidently, "I saw on the spiritual forum that this kind of wooden talisman has a certain effect. If people can feel the effect immediately after wearing it, it has a certain effect. A big brother on my forum prayed for this kind of wooden talisman, and all his minor ailments were cured in more than a year."
"Si Shui, this might have been done by a master of metaphysics." Ni Tiantian said.
"Really? If it can really cure the disease, I will wear it for a long time." He Sishui said in surprise.
Ju Jingbai twitched the corners of his mouth: "..." She always felt that this group of people were belittling her. The peach wood amulet she made was being praised to the sky and on earth. It was terrible.
"Si Shui, didn't you go anywhere else this afternoon?" Ju Jingbai suppressed his shame and spoke as calmly as possible.
"No, I had lunch with my parents at noon and then went straight to the temple." He Sishui was surprised. "What happened to Xiaobai? Is there any problem?"
"It's okay." Ju Jingbai shook his head and turned his gaze back to He Sishui's face. He felt that the matter was serious. Since the amulet was made by her, at most its effectiveness would not last as long as those of the old predecessors, but there would definitely be no problems with its effectiveness. So why did He Sishui's fortune suddenly change?
Or maybe He Sishui didn't tell her something.
Or maybe she was possessed by something and didn't know it yet.
"I'm going to the big restroom. Remember to leave the door open for me!" Ju Jingbai grabbed the toilet paper and cell phone and hurried out of the dormitory.
Ju Jingbai found a large, empty restroom, closed and locked the door. The overhead light illuminated the room, making it as bright as day. She found a clean spot, spread a thick layer of toilet paper, sat cross-legged, and fished three ancient coins from her pocket. The coins looked quite old, their edges polished to a gleam. They tumbled and hummed in Ju Jingbai's hands, as if possessed of spirit.
Ju Jingbai didn't elaborate further. After taking three deep breaths, he threw one of the ancient coins into the air.
One throw is called the first line.
The subtle differences on He Sishui's face yesterday and today emerged in Ju Jingbai's mind. Her birthday was June 28, 1997, around one o'clock in the morning.
…
Among the five Taoist arts of mountain medicine, fortune-telling and divination, she is best at divination.
She had just carefully observed that He Sishui's amulet had not been tampered with.
Ju Jingbai stood up, called up He Sishui's photo, turned it around, and unhooked it.
The situation is very tricky, but it's okay for now, as He Sishui is protected by something.
Ju Jingbai turned around, from facing the window with his back to it, and looked outside. The weeping willows with slightly yellow leaves were swaying in the breeze.
Her East is where He Shishui’s vitality lies.
To the east of their school was an unfinished construction site, with hideous steel bars exposed in the air. Looking further east, the shadow of a Ferris wheel appeared in Ju Jingbai's eyes, and the glittering lights outlined another side of the night. Is that the Binhai Amusement Park? !!!
Binhai Amusement Park is the largest and oldest amusement park in Haicheng. The amusement equipment it has introduced one after another has made it earn a lot of money during every holiday.
There was no class the next day, so when Ju Jingbai arrived at the Binhai Amusement Park, the park had just opened. There were not many people in each area, and the sun was not shining.
She walked for more than ten minutes, holding a simple small compass.
After turning right, I came face to face with a building.
The horror house in the seaside amusement park is located at the corner of the first fork in the road. It is designed to look like a ghost, and its scarlet bloody mouth is quite conspicuous in the playground full of childlike fun.
Ju Jingbai stared at the exterior structure of the entire horror house, looking at it again and again. The morning sunlight shone on the ghost's eyes, and there seemed to be nothing unusual, but she had a strange intuition that this was it.
"Hello, take a look. Our horror house has many scenes including ghost marriages and mental hospitals. Do you want to go in and have some fun?" Ju Jingbai looked at the boy who handed her the flyer. The boy was full of energy and his spirit could rank among the top ten people Ju Jingbai met this morning.
"You must be a student of the Ocean University next door. Our horror house is recruiting part-time employees. If you have time, you can come here with your classmates to work part-time. The benefits are very good." The boy looked at Ju Jingbai and smiled.
'call out'
Suddenly, a blood-red prop handkerchief flew out from the horror house.
As soon as the handkerchief came out, the boy turned around to grab it as if facing a great enemy. The handkerchief seemed to have its own consciousness. The boy tried to grab it three times, but each time it brushed past his hand. The handkerchief brushed past the boy's ear and was about to fly away. Ju Jingbai subconsciously reached out and grabbed the handkerchief that flew past her. The artificial plasma on the handkerchief dripped from her palm and fell to the ground.
"Here." Ju Jingbai handed it to the boy.
"Wow, I was saying you don't look like an ordinary person standing here. You're amazing! I've never once received anything from the boss since I started working here."
"Me too. I've never caught anything the boss threw. Miss, you're amazing. Do you want to come in and play? We ghosts will scare you to tears... Uh, boss, I'll get to work right away."
The girl's voice sounded from the horror house. Ju Jingbai subconsciously looked towards the door of the horror house and happened to meet the eyes of the man who walked to the door. The man's light brown pupils overlapped under the dark pupils, which was a rare double pupil.
In the world of metaphysics, double pupils have always been associated with bringing light. There was once a rumor that people with double pupils were born with the ability to understand yin and yang, and could achieve twice the result with half the effort when performing rituals.
