City's Appreciation Eye

Chapter 38 The Strange Stone Man

When night fell, Fatty Jin wanted to invite Bai Hao to dinner, and dragged him to an entertainment mall run by a friend.

Bai Hao has never been to this kind of place since he was a child.

The neon lights of the huge living room were shining, all beauties in suits and uniforms greeted the guests at the door, the floor was polished and shiny, and the layout of the whole hall was even more imposing.

"Hello gentlemen!"

All the beauties bowed together and said hello coquettishly.

This battle made Bai Hao's skin crawl, and he smiled a little forcedly.

Fatty Jin is also a fine person, seeing that Bai Hao is not suitable for this kind of scene, he waved them away and led Bai Hao straight to the top floor.

"Bai Shao, this place is not bad!"

Fatty Jin smiled triumphantly while opening a bottle of brandy, which had a strong aroma.

Bai Hao looked down at half of the city from the top floor, and suddenly felt a sense of inclusiveness, and his mood was much more comfortable.

"good."

The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal, but the beauty in the cheongsam beside her kept flirting with Bai Hao. Bai Hao signaled her not to do this several times, but the beauty in the cheongsam acted as if she didn't know about it. Hao's ears were red and he felt uncomfortable.

"Mr. Bai, have you finished this meal? Which one is the highlight?"

Fatty Jin asked with a smirk, wanting to test Bai Hao's eyesight.

As if nothing had happened, Bai Hao blocked the wine brought to his mouth by the beauty in cheongsam, squinted his eyes and smashed his mouth.

"Lobster and abalone are common, but this stewed wild carp is really good. There is not much seasoning added, but it has a natural fragrance. How do you make it?"

Bai Hao was a little curious, and noticed this just now.

"Hahahaha, Young Master Bai is indeed not a mortal!"

A loud laugh came from the stairwell not far away, and a burly middle-aged man came out from the stairwell, full of muscles, his suit was bulging, and he looked awe-inspiring.

"Let me introduce, this is my good brother, Hai Dafu, who is also the owner of this entertainment city! Lao Hai, Mr. Bai is not an ordinary person, I am not wrong!"

Fatty Jin chuckled, he couldn't relax for a moment, he kept eating, no wonder he was so fat.

"Yes, there are not many people who can notice this dish, but let me test again, Mr. Bai, why is this fish so mysterious?"

Hai Dafu stroked his beard and offered to pour Bai Hao a glass of wine.

Bai Hao chuckled, and drank it all in one gulp, with a hint of confidence in his indifference.

"It must be a special place of origin, right?"

"Not bad!"

Hai Dafu slapped his thigh in surprise, but Fatty Jin spit out his wine and cursed loudly.

"You shoot your own, you bastard!"

Hai Dafu ignored Fatty Jin's bluffing.

"That river is indeed a treasure land of geomantic omen. I also got a gemstone that looks like a human being from there. It is a full foot high. I invited it back to sit in the entertainment city, but something strange happened these few days."

"Oh? Tell me in detail."

As soon as he heard about this Bai Haoke, he became interested. The only thing that can attract him now is the substance with spirituality. After losing a jade gourd, do we need another one?
Speaking of this, Hai Dafu heaved a long sigh, as if he didn't want to talk about it, but Fatty Jin wiped his mouth and opened his mouth.

"It's only been a week since you came back, and then something weird happened. First, a guest had inexplicable hallucinations and beat up our service staff, causing quite a commotion."

"In the end, it is said that some people can hear the howling in a mess in the middle of the night, which makes people panic. Recently, business has dropped a lot."

Hai Dafu nodded helplessly.

And such a thing?
Bai Hao's eyes lit up slowly, this was the first time he heard of it, then he squinted his eyes and stared at Fatty Jin.

"Fatty, you brought me to eat this meal, the purpose is not simple, right?"

Fatty Jin laughed out loud, without the embarrassment of being punctured.

"As long as I ask Young Master Bai to take a look at it, no matter whether it can be solved or not, Hai Dafu's private possession of Young Master Bai will take away one of them, which is my compensation to Young Master Bai. That old boy Ma Jinhua is too hateful."

Speaking of this, Hai Dafu is still a little bit pained. His private collection, the cheapest one costs more than 80 yuan. If it wasn't for Fatty Jin's strong recommendation, he would not agree to this matter.

"Well... In that case, let's read it first, I can't guarantee that I can solve it."

Bai Hao thought for a moment, and this condition is indeed not a disadvantage.

"go!"

The group of them went to the circular hall on the second floor. The feng shui layout of the hall is quite good. It hides wind and absorbs water, gathers people's popularity, and the surrounding vegetation and small fountains are all very elegant.

"The stone man, put it in that place."

Hai Dafu pointed to the stone man in the center.

"Look at the heaven and earth with Dharma Eyes, and everything will appear!"

Bai Hao meditated in his heart, but the hairs stood on end just by looking at Bai Hao.

The stone man is lifelike, his left hand seems to be holding a spear-like thing, but it is broken, only a small part, his face is half smiling, half crying, and his eyes are pitiful.

But if you look at it from another angle, it's not the case.

When the lights in the hall changed to a different color, the stone man seemed to blend into the color, and his pair of compassionate eyes instantly turned into ruthless, cold-blooded, murderous evil eyes!

"This…"

Bai Hao couldn't help but took two steps back. For the first time, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, a little unbelievable.

"Young Master Bai, what's the matter?"

Fatty Jin was shocked, and quickly stepped forward to support him. He had never seen Bai Hao lose his composure before.

Hai Dafu's heart skipped a beat, and he became tense.

"If you don't want to close the door, it's best to take this stone man down for me now, go to the rooftop to talk about it, and don't let anyone come up again."

Bai Hao took a deep breath, recovered his mind, and immediately asked Fatty Jin to do it.

"it is good!"

Fatty Jin usually looks unreliable, but when it comes to the critical moment, he is still very quick. He personally went to take the stone man to the rooftop.

The three of them surrounded the stone man on the roof, and Bai Hao was still observing it carefully, squinting around it, but he didn't dare to touch it.

"This... Young Master Bai, what do you see, it's so mysterious."

Fatty Jin asked curiously.

Hai Dafu became even more nervous. This is a treasure he considered. Could it be that this stone man is really the source of the recent weirdness?
"This is one of the funerary objects of the southern Xinjiang nobles in the Southern Song Dynasty, the ghost-suppressing stone!"

Bai Hao finally put away his Fayanye, and said with lingering fear.

"Ah?! Funeral objects! This, this...how could this be a funeral object?"

Hai Dafu's face was pale. He thought it was an auspicious sign from heaven, but unexpectedly it was a funeral object.

"Hai Dafu, you are really talented..."

Fatty Jin gave a thumbs up.
