58 Chapter 7 Section 4
Hearing this, Liu Ping laughed and said: "I don't even know what my ancestors are passing down! Brother Zhou, this seems a bit unreasonable, right?"
The man surnamed Zhou hurriedly said: "Who...who said I don't recognize this thing! It...isn't it Pixiu!" Seeing that something was wrong, the man surnamed Zhou casually named it.
Unexpectedly, when Sun Shengkui heard this, he immediately laughed, took the jade pendant from Liu Ping's hand and said, "You said this is Pixiu? Then let me ask you, do you know what that Pixiu is? What does it look like?"
"
The man surnamed Zhou had heard about Pixiu from several gambling friends. It was said to be an auspicious beast in ancient times, but he had never seen it himself, and he didn’t even know what it was. He only knew that it seemed to be a fortune-telling spirit.
beast, so he started to make nonsense: "Isn't Pixiu a fairy beast that attracts wealth? It looks like this. Have you ever seen it, Mr. Sun?"
Sun Shengkui looked at the jade pendant with half-squinted eyes and said: "Pixiu looks like a tiger, and there are rumors that it looks like a white bear. It can eat the world's treasures, and cannot get in or out. Therefore, in ancient times, people often carved jade pendants and other ornaments into them."
It looks like Pixiu and is worn on the body to seek wealth, but this thing looks like a toad with a snake tail, how could it be that Pixiu!"
When the man surnamed Zhou heard this, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat and was speechless.
Liu Ping said: "Brother Zhou, something strange has happened in our village now. I didn't come to you today just to trouble you. You must also know about Ma Laizi. Last night, Grandma Li's big buffalo was suddenly dragged away by something.
Now, the whole village is in panic. Your Xiaoliu Village is right next to our village. If something weird really happens, I think you don’t want to see Xiaoliu Village suffer as well, right?"
After listening to Liu Ping's words, Zhou Gen rolled his eyes, and finally sighed and said: "A gentleman loves money and gets it in the right way, so that's it! Since Young Mistress Sun has said so, I, Zhou Gen, will no longer hide it.
What's the matter? In fact, I didn't drop any jade pendant into the well yesterday, and this jade pendant is not mine. I just saw that the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, so I came up with this idea. Originally, I just wanted to punish him.
, but I didn’t expect that he actually found a jade pendant, and also..."
When everyone heard this, they all felt incredible. What a coincidence. I just said what I said casually, but it turned out that Ma Laizi was found, and at the bottom of the well, Ma Laizi happened to become dementia. Is this what is called
God's will? That boy Ma Laizi is destined to have an evil star this year, so he will definitely suffer this calamity!
Sun Shengkui pondered for a moment, and finally said: "It seems that there is indeed something strange under the big stone well, but I don't know if it has anything to do with the bull-carrying beast in the White Horse Pond! In addition, I will leave this jade pendant here for the time being until I go there.
Check some ancient books to find out what this thing is and then make another plan!"
Zhou Gen could only nod his head and said: "Let everything be done according to Master Sun's wishes..."
Sun Ji saw that he still seemed to be thinking about the jade pendant, so he smiled and said, "Speaking of Zhou Gen, didn't you just say that a gentleman loves money in a proper way? Why did he forget his kung fu again just now?"
Zhou Gen laughed dryly and said: "I haven't forgotten, how could I forget so quickly..."
Liu Ping had no impression of the monster carved on the jade pendant. She said to Sun Shengkui: "Dad, you have read so many ancient books, do you really have no impression of this thing?"
Sun Shengkui looked at the jade pendant carefully and said with a frown: "The book does record something that looks like a toad, called a golden toad. The golden toad has three legs. The ancients said that the golden toad can spit out money.
Therefore, it is also called the golden toad for attracting wealth and treasures. However, compared with the golden toad, this jade pendant looks like a toad, but it is very different!"
Liu Ping nodded and said: "This thing not only has four legs, but also has a snake-like tail. It is indeed different from the golden toad you mentioned. Why don't we go find Wang Daxian and see if he recognizes this thing?"
Sun Shengkui nodded and said, "That's fine!" Then he asked Sun Ji to invite Wang Changgui.
Soon, Wang Changgui arrived. After greeting Sun Shengkui and Liu Ping, he said, "Brother Sun Ji told me the general story of the matter on the way just now. I wonder where that thing is now?"
Sun Shengkui hurriedly handed the jade pendant to Wang Changgui. Wang Changgui took it and looked at it carefully. As he saw the shape of the thing clearly, his expression also changed!
Liu Ping saw this and asked hurriedly: "Wang Daxian, what are you talking about?"
Wang Changgui exchanged the jade pendant with Sun Shengkui, and then said: "It is called the snake-tailed toad, and very few people in the world know about it! It is said in the book that in ancient times, there was a big python in Bashu, named Ba Snake, which could swallow elephants and was only afraid of snake tails.
.And the snake tail is talking about this snake tail toad.
Upon hearing this, Sun Shengkui's expression changed and he said, "I have read this in a book before. I still remember that at that time I couldn't understand why the snake was afraid of the snake's tail because it was so huge that it could even swallow an elephant.
It turns out that the snake tail refers to this thing! Then Wang Daxian, do you think this thing is in the underground river under the deep well? And..."
Sun Shengkui told Wang Changgui the two things that happened yesterday. As he told Wang Changgui's face, Wang Changgui's face gradually turned ugly. Everyone was familiar with him, and this was the first time they saw his expression.
