Chapter 40 The Broken Jade Pendant
Seeing his expression, I suddenly felt that this old guy seemed to be of no help at all, but he suddenly disappeared at the critical moment. In the end, I walked into the 18th underground floor of Building 34 alone without saying a word.
, I glanced at him, then walked straight outside with the cardboard box in my arms. Seeing my actions, he quickly chased after me, and then asked:
"Hey, what's in this box you're holding?"
I turned to glance at him, and then said:
"Nothing. By the way, where did you go before? Didn't you agree to enter Building 34 with me?"
The old Taoist priest was suddenly stunned, and then said:
"Yes, you forgot? We couldn't find Building 34, and then you didn't know what happened and ran like crazy to the entrance of the community. I chased you behind, but when I arrived at the entrance of the community,
There was only the security guard there, but you were gone. I had no choice but to go back to look for you, but I still couldn't find you. You disappeared on your own and blamed me. Look at what time it is, I've been waiting here.
I haven’t seen you for so long.”
I suddenly turned my head to look at the old Taoist priest, but he didn't seem to notice the surprised expression on my face. He paused and continued:
"Just now, I used Taoist secrets to find your approximate location. Fortunately for you, you walked out of the underground of Building 33, still holding such a lot of things. Did you go to buy some goods?"
After hearing what the old Taoist priest said, I quickly ran outside the building and took a closer look. Sure enough, as the old Taoist priest said, this is Building No. 33. Holding the box, I froze on the spot. As the old Taoist priest spoke, he asked
I came over.
"Are you stupid? Is this number on the 33rd floor so good-looking?"
"Then why didn't you use your secret method to find my location before?"
I saw the old Taoist priest looking at me with a constipated expression and said:
"I've used it many times, but I can't find you every time. I just had the attitude of giving it a try, and I actually found you."
After listening to the old Taoist priest's words, I immediately understood what happened. When I ran to the gate of the community, I should have fallen into a trap. According to the old Taoist priest, he saw the security guard at the gate of the community, but I
When I ran to the door, there was no one there, and even the security room was pitch dark.
"By the way, what time is it now?"
"It's 4 o'clock in the morning. By the way, should we go to Building 34 now? I've been looking for it for so long and still can't find it. I think it's time to forget it."
I nodded slightly, then looked at the building sign of Building 33, and suddenly fell into deep thought.
"It seems that not everyone can enter Building 34."
I whispered in my mouth, while the old Taoist priest looked at me and said with confusion:
"What did you say?"
I smiled helplessly, shook my head, and then walked towards the gate of the community with the old Taoist priest. Perhaps because of the joy of surviving the disaster, this road seemed much shorter than I remembered. Soon we arrived at the community
Door. Since it is early in the morning, the security guard at the door of the community has gone to sleep. There are almost no pedestrians on the street outside, but a few cars pass by here from time to time.
After leaving the community, I wanted to ride a shared bicycle to the nearest hotel, but when I saw the cardboard box in my hand, I gave up the idea. Standing on the street, I stopped a taxi, and then
Then he and the old Taoist priest got into the back seat of the car.
"It's early morning, otherwise you can go to my house first."
As soon as I closed the car door, the old Taoist priest suddenly spoke. I nodded, and then I heard the old Taoist priest say to the driver:
"Master, go to Maple Leaf Road."
The driver responded softly, and then the car started slowly. Since it was early in the morning, there was no traffic jam on the road, and the journey was smooth. In less than half an hour, we arrived at the residence of the old Taoist priest. We opened the door, got out of the car, and I
We followed the old Taoist priest into an alley. After walking for a while, the old Taoist priest stopped in front of a door, opened the door, and we walked in.
Then I saw the old Taoist priest turn on the light, lock the door, and then sit across from me.
"Look...although I didn't help, it's also Building 34 and I can't find it, right? Can you lend me that jade pendant for research now?"
Seeing his smiling eyes, I sighed, then took out the jade pendant from my pocket and placed it on the table in front of me. Seeing my actions, the old Taoist priest smiled even happier, but when
He took the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it carefully, then his expression suddenly changed.
"Although I didn't help, you wouldn't go out of your way to deceive me with a fake one, right? Look at this jade pendant. Although it looks exactly the same, there are cracks on it. It looks like a fake with poor workmanship.
The goods are cold all over and have no Taoist charm at all."
After saying this, the old Taoist priest put the jade pendant in his hand back on the table, and then looked at me with a resentful expression, like that of a resentful woman.
I sighed softly and looked at the cracked jade pendant in front of me and slowly said:
"I'm not lying to you, this is the same jade pendant from before, but there was a little accident."
After hearing what I said, the old Taoist priest looked at me suspiciously. Then he picked up the jade pendant and began to look at it.
"When you put it like that, it seems that the place without cracks really looks like a Taoist magic weapon. But, what on earth did you use it for? To make it like this?"
There was no answer, so I turned my head and looked in the side direction. After a long silence, I slowly spoke:
"Some things cannot be discussed in detail. Anyway, the jade pendant is like this now, and I can't do anything about it."
At this moment, the old Taoist priest suddenly looked at me doubtfully, and then said:
"No, generally Taoist treasures like this can cause cracks even if they are accidentally dropped on the ground, but the Taoist rhyme on them will not disappear. But now this jade pendant has no Taoist rhyme at all, just like the roadside miscellaneous
The low-quality goods handled at the goods stalls are average. I was very confused. When I first saw this jade pendant, I could feel the Taoist charm on it as deep as the sea. Even if I encounter an innocent soul like Yang Li a hundred times, this jade pendant can still
You can handle it. But in just one night, no, just a few hours, the Taoist rhyme on the jade pendant disappeared completely. It's hard for me to imagine what exactly you encountered?"
After listening to the old Taoist priest's words, I was speechless, but I couldn't tell others what happened on the 18th floor of Building 34 last night. Therefore, I shook my head to express that I didn't want to tell what happened. After seeing me
After the action, the old Taoist priest also sighed heavily, and then sighed:
