Copper Coins

What's the surprise?

Xue Xian looked around, and saw Lu Nianqi, who was standing on the side of the boat, saw something, staggered back in shock, and fell to the ground.He slapped his palm on the board of the boat, and then shrank back suddenly with a cry of pain.But it was too late, the palm of his right hand had already been cut open, and blood gushed out.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Shining grabbed his wrist, and pressed his thumb precisely on the skin upstream of the wound, "What cut him?"

"Iron sheet." Lu Nianqi shivered from his cold fingers, subconsciously twitching his hands back.

On the boat plank next to where he fell, there was an iron sheet-like thing that happened to be stuck in the wood grain cracks on the surface of the boat plank, and it was stained with a layer of red blood, which was obviously the culprit.

Jiang Shining glanced left and right, and picked up the jug left by the boatman.

"It hurts, bear with it." He said, unscrewed the spout, and poured the wine on Lu Nianqi's palm generously.

"Killer, you—" Lu Nianqi was about unprepared, and howled heart-piercingly, "It hurts, hurts, hurts! It's so spicy! Hiss———"

"What are you crying for? Hold on tight." Jiang Shining lived in a medical hall since he was a child, and was used to seeing people crying for his father and mother, so he seemed extremely calm.

It was extremely cold that day, and the snow and fog hadn't dissipated yet. The wine quickly cooled down on the hands, and the blood no longer gushed out.Lu Nianqi was still panting, spreading his palms, frowning with a look of bitterness and hatred.

Jiang Shining splashed some more river water to help him clean the blood around the wound, then shook off the water drops on his hands and nestled aside.

The blood stains were gone, and the lines on Lu Nianqi's palms were clearly visible.Xuan Min glanced at him, frowned slightly, walked over and pinched his wrist bone and looked down for a moment.

Lu Nianqi couldn't help snorting, and said stiffly, "Another one who likes to mark people's palm prints."

"What is another one, who else?"

Xue Xian answered casually.He didn't pay attention at first, thinking that Xuan Min was just looking at the kid's wound.Hearing this, he leaned over his pocket and stared at Lu Nianqi's palm prints, and was stunned.

"Lu Nineteen." Except for the one time "Nineteen" when Nianqi was in a panic, he kept calling his name and surname like this the rest of the time.

"Staring at...the palm prints?" Jiang Shining couldn't help but raised his head.According to Xue Xian, then Lu Shijiu is blind, how can he still stare?Speaking of which, he felt strange before, a blind man went to the small island in Jiangxin by himself, what should he do when he got on the island?Do you feel it all the way?

Lu Nianqi heard his emphasis on the word "staring", curled his lips and said: "For ordinary people, he is indeed blind, but he can walk on his own, but he walks very slowly. Because he can 'see' 'Seeing some things that ordinary people can't see, in his own words, it's arrogance and appearance, like talking nonsense, anyway, I can't understand it. "

After he finished speaking, he asked Xuan Min again: "What's wrong with my palm prints? Every once in a while, he would hold my hand to 'look' at them for a long while, and while looking at them, he would touch those stripes, muttering, I couldn’t take it anymore. Asked him, he said it’s nothing, he is a long-lived palmist, it’s just that the youth will be a bit bitter, and he wants to see how hard I can be.”

Jiang Shining: "..." This brother is also dead.

But—longevity?

Xue Xian stared at the palm prints, feeling that he simply didn't understand the meaning of "longevity"!

This Lu Nianqi was clearly a short-lived figure who died young.Among the three patterns of heaven, earth and man, the earth pattern that refers to the life span is surprisingly short, and it stops abruptly before reaching the middle palace. Let alone longevity, one should be thankful for living past fifteen.He silently raised his head and stared at Twenty Seven's face.

I didn't pay attention to it before, but after looking carefully at this moment, I realized that this Lu has collapsed in the past twenty-seven days, his eyes are scattered, always a little irritable, and there are scattered moles in the Ming Palace, which also looks like a lucky person who died early.

So how did Lu Nineteen see longevity?

However, this kind of fate is not easy to say directly in person.

Xue Xian silently turned his head and looked up at the bald donkey.This bald donkey has a lot of criminal records and he can't speak human words. If his words are not shocking and he keeps saying "you don't live long", this brat might be able to scare him away.

Unexpectedly, the bald donkey seemed to have suddenly opened up and learned to be tactful. He first asked, "Are you fifteen this year?"

Lu Nianqi: "Yes."

Xuan Min nodded, "There will be a calamity this year, so be careful when you go out."

Xue Xian glanced at the sky silently, thinking that today is the sun coming out from the west?Or did the bald donkey take the wrong medicine?

Lu Nianqi withdrew his hand, "Okay, I know, Lu Nineteen said the same."

"By the way! What were you shouting about?" Xue Xian asked.

Being interrupted by Lu Nianqi's bloody hand, he almost forgot what he wanted to ask.

"No..." the brat said awkwardly, "I was standing on the side of the boat just now, and suddenly saw a mass of black rubbing against the bottom of the boat, thinking it was hair. But it should be just water plants. If it was really hair, that person should also be floating on the surface of the river It shouldn't be so half-deep and shallow."

Xue Xian said: "You know this, have you seen it?"

"I've seen it." Lu Nianqi said, "How can people who live by the river not have seen these things? There are also special corpse hunters on the river. This year, there are a lot of them. I can't see them in autumn and winter alone." Five times."

Jiang Shining frowned as he heard it, he was about to get seasick.

The snow and fog on the river are very thick, and the vast expanse is so vast that you can't see the end at a glance.

But the bun-like tomb island gradually became clear in the fog, getting bigger and bigger.

Xuan Min was standing at the bow of the boat, still holding the reed pole in one hand to steer the direction, while Xue Xian propped his chin, looking randomly at the misty river surface, a little uneasy.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that his precious golden pearl had come alive since it fell into the bald donkey's secret pocket.Although he still couldn't clearly feel the connection between Jin Zhu and himself, there was always a vague feeling lingering around.

It's as if someone wants to pat you, and when his fingertips are only inches away from you, you can feel something strange, although the strangeness is so weak that it almost doesn't exist.

He does not reject such influence.

If this bald donkey is really capable of allowing him to establish a connection with the original body in advance, he can thank the eight generations of this bald donkey's ancestors sincerely.

Just how can we make this process faster?

Xue Xian was a little worried. He had no hope at first, but now that he had some hope, he suddenly became a little impatient. After all, the paper body was really fragile, and it could be torn if he wanted to, which would damage his dignity and face. His extraordinary bearing.

The evil barrier thought for a moment, then suddenly retracted into the dark bag.He wriggled restlessly in the bag for a while, moved himself to the edge of the gold beads at the bottom of the bag, and then opened his body to wrap the gold beads.

After all, the white hemp monk's robe was a bit flimsy, and the inner layer of the dark pocket was directly attached to Xuan Min's waist.This evil obstacle was moving around inside, so he could feel it naturally.

He turned the reed, frowned and asked, "Why can't you learn to be quiet, what are you doing?"

Xue Xian's voice was muffled under the fabric, and there was something husky: "Roll your boat, what do you care about me? I'm hatching eggs, don't talk to me, it's annoying."

Xuan Min: "..."

Fortunately, he himself probably felt a little ashamed, his voice was so low that no one else could hear it except Xuan Min, otherwise Jiang Shining would definitely say something bad.

Xuan Min was taken aback by his phrase "hatch the egg", so that he didn't pay attention to Jiang Mian for a moment.

During that moment of distraction, another black mass skidded under the boat... or rather, the boat skidded over that black mass.

Lu Nianqi, who was lying on the side of the boat, glanced at it. Due to the high speed, the black flashed by, and he didn't understand it very well.At first glance, it still looks like hair, but there is no white face, nor a stretched body.So Lu Nianqi stroked the goosebumps on his arms and felt a little relieved.

Not long after, the bow of the boat bumped into mud and rocks and stopped.

"Here we are." As soon as the boat stopped, Lu Nianqi scrambled and ran ashore.He pointed to another black shadow not far away and said, "Did you see that? That's Old Man Liu's boat, and he was the one who brought Lu Shijiu here."

The tomb island is full of wild forests, shrouded in snow and mist. At a glance, there are shadows of brown and black branches, which is a good place to be haunted.

When Xuan Min set foot on this grave island, the wild forest seemed to feel a gust of wind.

jingle--

The string of copper coins hanging around his waist suddenly moved, making two soft knocking sounds.

"What's the matter?" Xue Xian poked his head out to take a breath, "What did you say just now? Why can't you hear clearly."

"I didn't speak, what did you hear?" Xuan Min frowned at him, this evil person is naturally sensitive, and he can always feel something strange first by intuition.

Xue Xianqi said: "Just when you came ashore, I was hatching my golden bead, and I heard you suddenly read a string of strange words, which were like scriptures, and I couldn't understand them. Are you sure you didn't speak?" ? Then what did I hear, it really sounded like your voice—”

He spoke halfway, paused for a moment, and added dryly: "It just sounds a little far away..."
