The old Taoist strongly urged Zhang Xudong to try the bracelet and cloth bag again.
Zhang Xudong is also a restless person. He wants to find something to do when he is free.
When he was hesitating, He Jingxian came back from outside.
"When did the Taoist priest come? What are you going to do for you for free?"
Seeing the old Taoist in the room, He Jingxian asked without any politeness.
"Why do you dislike me so much, girl?
I came to give you something. Here, this is yours."
As the old Taoist said this, he took out a paper box and several rolls of film from his bag and placed them on the table.
"Look, this is the latest 58-2 camera, perfect for your role as a reporter.
This is something I, the Taoist priest, applied for specifically for you. How is it treating you?"
"That's pretty good. Is this thing useful?" He Jingxian happily took out the camera and started looking through it.
“They say it’s very easy to use and comes with an instruction manual, so you can read it yourself.
Also, learn to develop your own film.
If there is something that cannot be seen by outsiders, you will have to develop the film yourself.
I'll find someone to teach you when you get back. Now, take your camera and study on your own. Dongzi and I have some serious business."
The old Taoist was afraid that He Jingxian would ruin his plans, so he wanted to send her aside.
"Old Taoist, you definitely have no good intentions. What are you trying to trick Brother Dong into doing?
I'll look at this camera when I get back. I want to watch you guys now." He Jingxian said as she put away the camera.
"Brother Dong, what are you holding in your hand? Where did you get this bracelet?"
He Jingxian saw what was in Zhang Xudong's hand and stared at him with a scrutinizing look.
Zhang Xudong didn't find it funny. Zhang Xiaoni was quite protective of her food.
Zhang Xudong explained to her the origins of these things.
He Jingxian was not interested in reading those books, so she picked up the bracelet and started looking at it.
"Is this the legendary storage bracelet?
Looking at its gray and dull appearance, I'm afraid it was carved from an ordinary stone?
You still insist it's some kind of magic weapon? Old Taoist, you really know how to tease children."
He Jingxian looked at the bracelet in her hand with disdain and said to the old Taoist with contempt.
The old Taoist jumped up and said:
"This is an ancient artifact passed down from generation to generation by the head of the Sancai Sect.
They took it out to thank you for saving the Taoist sect. How can you talk like that?
If you don't believe me, try asking Dongzi to drop a drop of blood on you and see if there's any reaction."
"Does Brother Dong need to try this? I'll already look up to him after just one try.
But you can’t do that with such a dirty look, don’t let it stain my blood.”
He Jingxian put down the bracelet and left. After a while, she came out from the kitchen with a basin of water.
"Let me wash mine first. Who knows how many people have touched this thing?"
As He Jingxian spoke, she soaked the bracelet in water and started scrubbing it with a brush.
But after a while, she was dumbfounded. The water in the basin kept decreasing, and finally it was gone.
"Brother Dong, our wash basin is leaking. This is the new enamel basin I gave you as a reward two months ago! Why is it leaking?"
He Jingxian said with heartache while staring at the enamel basin looking for the leak.
Zhang Xudong and the old Taoist were staring at the bracelet in He Jingxian's hand in a daze, and were awakened by He Jingxian's words.
Zhang Xudong quickly patted He Jingxian on the head and said:
“You silly girl, you just saw that there was water on the ground and you said the basin was leaking.
Look at the bracelet in your hand and see what it has become now."
He Jingxian took a look at the light green bracelet in her hand and exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Dong, how did this bracelet become so beautiful?
Although it's not as shiny as jade, it's still much better looking than before."
Zhang Xudong sighed, picked up the basin and ran to the kitchen. This time he directly took a basin of well water from the space and brought it back.
"Sister, the point isn't that the bracelet has become beautiful, the point is that it drank up the whole basin of water.
Now put it back in the water and see how much water it can drink."
Zhang Xudong said to He Jingxian who was still looking at the bracelet.
"You said it drank the whole basin of water? How could it drink such a big basin of water when it's so small?"
He Jingxian muttered as she put the bracelet into the water.
This time the water in the basin disappeared faster, until only a shallow amount was left and there was no reaction.
He Jingxian picked up the bracelet and said in surprise, "It's so beautiful! Crystal clear and emerald green.
It feels warm and smooth when held in your hand. It’s much more beautiful than a jade bracelet.”
The old Taoist had tears in his eyes and his lips were trembling.
"That's exactly what it is. It's exactly as recorded in their scriptures.
This is how it should be! Grandmaster, there is hope for our Taoist practice!"
The old Taoist cried for a while, then took the cloth bag and pushed it into the water.
Sure enough, the last bit of water in the basin was absorbed by the cloth bag.
The old Taoist took the basin and ran to the kitchen. He scooped a basin of water and stared at the changes in the cloth bag.
This time the water in the basin only decreased by half and then stopped decreasing.
Looking at the cloth bag again, it has become as bright as new.
The non-cotton and non-thick material feels soft and smooth.
The old Taoist looked at the two people who followed him and said anxiously, "Who of you will drip the blood? This time it will definitely work."
Zhang Xudong shook his head like a rattle and said very firmly:
"I can't do it. I feel like something is watching me. If I dare to shed blood and acknowledge its master, I will be struck by lightning.
Do you feel this way? I feel a little scared. "
