Record of Yin and Yang

Gu Jiu and the others prepare magic tools for their employers. There are generally three ways.If they have the ability, they will prepare it by themselves. If they can’t prepare it, they will go to the local antique shop to find it. If they can’t find a suitable one, they will go to the ghost market to try their luck.This time, the Xue family is looking for magic tools with high effects. They can make them by themselves, but it takes too long and it is not suitable for them.

After dark, Gu Jiu recruited a wild ghost wandering nearby to ask about the ghost market. After learning that there would be no ghost market here, the two planned to go to the antique shop tomorrow to have a look.

There was a lot of trouble during the day, but Wen Ming did not let people forget to prepare the things that should be prepared.

Once born and twice acquainted, Xue Yongxin was much more pious when inviting Tai Sui Xingjun this time, and she was no longer impatient, and cooperated very well. Yi said thank you and apologized for her rudeness to the two before.

Although the circumstances are justifiable, Gu Jiu still wants to say: "Not everyone is as magnanimous as us." Although they are paid to do things, but the Taoist warlocks who walk outside, because they have real skills, are basically begged by others. arrogant.If it were someone else, Xue Yongxin might have been pissed off right away.

Gu Jiu wanted to mention something to Xue Yongxin, "You must remember that misfortune comes from your mouth. In the next seven days, young lady should practice closed-mouth meditation."

Xue Yongxin's mouth, no matter whether she was unintentional or the other party thought too much, definitely created a lot of oral karma. Shutting up is a Buddhist term, which means to prohibit oneself from speaking and reduce oral karma, which is to eliminate sins and avoid disasters.

Xue Yongxin agreed with a guilty conscience, and didn't promise that she would be able to cultivate, but only said that she would try her best.

This is not bad, but closed-mouth meditation is difficult for those who do not have concentration.

After sleeping all night, Gu Jiu and Shao Yi, accompanied by Wen Mingyuan, went to the antique shops in the city one by one.

They found some suitable stores in the first few stores, and one was basically complete, but there was no one suitable for Xue Yongxin. Now there is only one antique store that Wen Mingyuan inquired about.The three of them came to this last store. The store was very small and the decoration was very old.

"Can I buy it here?" Wen Mingyuan asked suspiciously as he entered.

Gu Jiudao: "You said earlier that this is a store that has been around for more than ten years. Since it hasn't closed down yet, there must be something special about it."

When the three of them entered, Gu Jiu tapped on the table, and the shopkeeper who was calculating the account raised his head, showed a smile greeting the guests, and his eyes fell on Wen Mingyuan: "Young Master Wen, you are safe, what do you want to buy today?"

Gu Jiudao: "Do you have any old objects here?"

When Gu Jiu asked, Shao Yi was looking at it in the store, but generally the ones displayed outside are not too expensive. If there are really good things in the antique shops here, they have their own ways to sell them, and most people can't see them.

So Shao Yi looked around, then returned to the counter, and stood beside Gu Jiu.

Wen Mingyuan said: "If there are any good things, the boss can give them away. Money is not a problem."

The rich and powerful said this is indeed very confident, the shopkeeper smiled even more when he heard the words, maybe he will have a big profit today, so he hurriedly put down the account book in his hand, and said: "There are quite a few old things. I just don't know how old it will be?"

Gu Jiudao: "The older the better."

"Those who wait a moment."

There is indeed a reason why this small shop has not closed down yet. The shopkeeper seems to have his own way, and there are still a lot of good stocks. After a while, the shopkeeper brought out a lot of things, and opened them one by one for Gu Jiu and the others to see.A bunch of things, generally classified into ceramics, calligraphy and painting, bronze ware, jade ware, and some other miscellaneous items.

The shopkeeper said that the bottom of the box is here.

It was mainly Shao Yi who was watching, his eyes skipped most things, and finally landed on a blackened bracelet.The rest of the bracelet is made of silver, so it turns black. What really made Shao Yi choose it was a fingernail-sized jade stone in the center.

Jade is all the essence of the stone, which has the effect of promoting good luck, warding off evil spirits, and nourishing the body. The older the jade, the stronger the accumulated effect and the stronger the effect of protecting the body.

Shao Yi and Gu Jiu looked at the age of antiques differently from ordinary people. When they judged whether an object was old or not and how effective it was, they only looked at the spiritual power emanating from it. Although the jade was small at this time, its spiritual power was already there. With a big fist, it is not easy to find such a piece of jade. Xue Yongxin is more than enough to use this to protect himself.

Wen Mingyuan is bound to get this bracelet. They are all in the same city. The shopkeeper doesn't dare to offend Wen and Xue's family. However, this bracelet is indeed a good thing. In the end, the two parties traded at a price that everyone was satisfied with. down.

Now that everything was bought, the three of them left.

As soon as they went out, a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes walked past them anxiously. He walked in a hurry, not thinking about the surroundings. He almost bumped into Gu Jiu when he passed by. .Gu Jiu couldn't help but look back, and saw the middle-aged man walking into the antique shop, taking something out of his pocket as he walked.

Gu Jiu heard him hurriedly said: "Boss Zhou, the jade pendant on my Zhenzhen suddenly cracked!"

Gu Jiu still wanted to hear, but Shao Yi pulled his arm, "Look at the road."

Gu Jiu turned around and saw that if Shao Yi hadn't pulled him, he would have bumped into someone just now.

Withdrawing their thoughts, the three of them went back to Wen's house all the way. They bought everything, and they still needed a consecration ceremony to strengthen the protective effect of the accessories.

After all the accessories were finished, Gu Jiu gave Wen Mingyuan a few lightning strike wooden plaques, with holes drilled on both sides of the wooden plaques, which could be strung with some beads and jade to wear on the body for decoration, and also had the effect of protecting the body.

After everything was over, before returning to the room, Gu Jiu asked Wen Mingyuan: "How is the matter with Yan Ru?"

In the past, because Yan Ru was the only friend around Xue Yongxin who could talk, and because she was disguised well at that time, Wen Mingyuan actually respected this cousin, but now he is full of disgust when he mentions this person.

Wen Mingyuan said: "We found the store that sold her bronze mirror. The store said that the mirror was indeed sold by him, but the carvings did not come from his store. Yan Ru found someone else to carve. The servant girl asked, that Yan Ru found a lame Taoist to carve the flower."

Yan Ru once divorced, and her fiancé who made a marriage contract with her fell in love with another woman. Yan Ru hesitated several times, and in the end, for the sake of her own reputation and the rest of her life, she went to the other party's house before the other party retired. Marriage, but in the end still has an impact.While she was worried about this matter, Xue Yongxin also felt sorry for her, thinking about interesting things to divert her attention.

Xue Yongxin saw that Yan Ru was sad for that heartless man all day long, and in a hurry, he did say that Yan Ru still regarded him as a treasure.Xue Yongxin also said at the time that if it was her, she would have kicked such a person without hesitation, and later added that a person like Yan Ru would not be able to find a good husband.

It's just that for people like Yan Ru, she listens to any word after analyzing it, and the taste changes. Xue Yongxin's comfort to her becomes that she doesn't hurt her back when she stands and talks, and everyone envies her if she finds it by herself. Husband-in-law, he thought that all women in the world were as lucky as her.

Wen Mingyuan said helplessly: "The Yan family is indeed not as rich as our two families, but the family background is not bad. Master Yan has two sons under him, and he really doesn't value his daughter very much, but it is definitely not as good as she said. Think of her as an existence in exchange for benefits. We only found out after we asked yesterday that her standards for finding a husband are compared with mine. She thinks that the rich are not good-looking, and the good-looking ones are not rich. The rich and good-looking, she And I despise the other party's flirtatiousness..." At the end, he even boasted to himself, "Man who is good-looking, rich and dedicated like me is not found everywhere."

Yan Ru has been in such a state of mind for a long time, suppressed for too long.

Xue Yongxin is rich, loved by her parents, loved by her husband and son-in-law, she got pregnant shortly after she got married, and she was held at the top of her heart. This is how Yan Ru is not jealous. Compared with Xue Yongxin, she is so low in the dust.She knew that Xue Yongxin couldn't speak and had an arrogant temper, so Yan Ru wanted Xue Yongxin to experience the situation where she was looked down upon by everyone, disliked by everyone, and even her husband who loved him hated her. What would it be like?

Once the thoughts popped up, it was as if she had finally found a vent, and all the gloomy and resentment in her heart poured out, and she vented all her dissatisfaction on Xue Yongxin.She almost succeeded. In the past two months or so, Xue Yongxin's impression in her father-in-law's heart has plummeted, and her temper is so bad that even Wen Mingyuan, who loves her, couldn't help but quarrel with her twice. If Mrs. Xue doesn't care about her daughter enough , without finding Gu Jiu's horoscope, Xue Yongxin may really fall into the situation Yan Ru said in the end.

Now the ending that Yan Ru is facing is that after paying for her sins, Master Yan will send Yan Ru to the temple to practice on her behalf, cultivate her body and cultivate her character, and bring her back after she has reformed herself. Mrs. Yan is reluctant and is still fighting with her husband .

But Yan Ru stayed at home in the end, but the matter of Xue Yongxin was more or less known to some similar circles. There are many mistresses who originally liked Yan Ru or promising young people who wanted to marry her. This time, they all avoided Yan Ru.Gradually, Yan Ru's bad reputation spread in several circles, and no one was willing to beg for such a vicious and dark woman. Finally, Yan's family found a husband's family who was a little far away from home for Yan Ru to marry her to. , This family is located in a small town, and their family background is considered wealthy in the local area, but compared with the level of these families in the city, including their own, it is far worse.

These are things that happened later, Gu Jiu and the others at this time don't know anything about it.

When Xue Yongxin's room was rearranged, she specially asked Gu Jiu and Shao Yi for advice, and the bronze mirror was replaced again. Since Yan Ru's bronze mirror was removed and Xue Yongxin no longer wore red clothes, she felt that there was nothing on her body immediately. It's so hot, after a few days, the anger gathered on her body will dissipate, and she will be able to sense the surrounding temperature normally.

After receiving a sum of money from Xue's family, Gu Jiu and Shao Yi left Xue's house in a donkey cart, preparing to leave the city, but because they walked slowly in the city, before they left the city, they were caught by the voice behind them. Shouted.

"Gu Daochang! Shao Daochang, please stop!"

The two turned their heads, and saw a middle-aged man riding a donkey catching up, jumped off the donkey's back panting, and said, "Finally caught up."

The other party was a stranger, Gu Jiudao: "Are you looking for us?"

The middle-aged man said: "Yes, I heard about you from Boss Zhou of Liu Minzhai."

"Liu Minzhai?" Gu Jiu thought for a while, isn't this the antique shop where they bought the bracelet last.

"Yes, yes." The middle-aged man said anxiously, "There is something wrong with my family. Boss Zhou said that the two priests bought an old object from him before. It should be used as a magic weapon for self-defense. Call me to ask you."

When that day passed, Gu Jiu and Shao Yi were dressed as Taoist priests, so it is not surprising that Boss Zhou guessed the purpose of the jade bracelet. Many people who run antique shops have come into contact with Taoist people like them.

Gu Jiu asked: "What do you want to ask?"

The middle-aged man said: "It's like this, my daughter, she seems to be targeted by a ghost recently, can you two help me drive this ghost away?"
