Chapter 42 Copper Box
"Found it."
At the bottom right of a shelf, Wang Ye found a big gecko soaked in a cylindrical container, and immediately called out to the others
"Where?"
The others quickly gathered around after hearing this, and when they saw the big gecko, they all looked at Wang Ye with strange expressions.
"Old Wang, are you sure this big gecko is the antidote?" The fat man asked with an expression as if he was sure he wasn't joking.
"Do you think I would make fun of Lao Hu's life?" Wang Ye looked at the fat man and said angrily.
"Fat man, Lao Wang is right, this big gecko is indeed the antidote." Hu Bayi patted the fat man on the shoulder and said with a look of joy,
"When I was a child, I was bitten by a big scorpion on my hand. It was swollen like a pig's trotter. My parents were not at home at that time. My grandfather immediately sent me to the hospital. The doctor was also a second-hand surgeon and checked me.
They said my finger needed to be amputated, but my grandfather didn’t agree and took me back.”
He paused and continued,
"My grandfather used to be a Feng Shui master. You know this, fat man, so he knows a lot of folk secrets. He got this big gecko from nowhere at that time, and he got the red bumps on the gecko's palm.
I swallowed it, and my hand was fine the next day. After that, I asked my grandfather, and he said that the red bumps on the palm of the gecko's hand were called navel red incense, which could detoxify all kinds of poisons."
He looked at Wang Ye again and said, "Old Wang, I didn't expect you to know this?"
As soon as Wang Ye was about to speak, Lao Hu said what he wanted to say for him, "I know, but you also want to say that you saw it in the book."
"Okay, you've already said it, what else can I say?" Wang Ye rolled his eyes at Lao Hu and thought to himself at the same time.
"Okay, Lao Hu, stop talking so much and quickly take out this navel red fragrance and eat it." The fat man urged.
As he spoke, he started to take action.
Using a dagger to pry open the lid of the cylindrical container, the fat man took out the big gecko.
Lao Hu took the dagger and the Great Shou Gong and took out the navel red incense from the Great Shou Gong's palm.
"Lao Hu, water." Ding Sitian quickly handed the water to Lao Hu.
"Thank you, Xiao Ding." Old Hu thanked him, took the kettle, put the navel red incense into his mouth, took two sips of water and swallowed it.
"Lao Hu, how are you? Is it effective?" As soon as Lao Hu swallowed the Navel Red Fragrance, the fat man asked hurriedly.
"Fat man, don't worry, it won't work that quickly." Wang Ye patted the fat man on the shoulder and said.
"Haha, don't worry, I'm much better now." Lao Hu glanced around the crowd, saw the worried expressions on their faces, and said with a relaxed smile.
Others were somewhat relieved to see Lao Hu say this.
"Everyone, let's rest for a while. The flames outside are probably not extinguished yet. Let's leave later." Wang Ye said to everyone.
The others nodded in agreement and sat down on the ground, leaning against the shelves to rest.
"Look, what is that?"
During the break, some bored fat people looked around with their flashlights. They were too busy to look around the storage room before, but now they are free, but when the flashlight shined at an angle, a green light flashed.
Everyone else looked over after hearing this.
This angle is formed by a rectangular metal cabinet inverted on the shelf and the shelf.
I saw what seemed to be a green box in the corner.
Fatty and Lao Hu looked at each other, walked over, one of them lifted the metal cabinet, and the other took out the things in the corner.
Only then did everyone see clearly what that thing was.
It is indeed a box.
But it's not made of jade, but of copper. It's probably Wong Tai Sin's copper box.
This is what everyone thought after seeing this copper box.
The king is quite sure that this copper box is that copper box.
I saw that the lid of the copper box had a weasel head cast on it, which was very anthropomorphic, and there were witchcraft charms engraved on the bottom.
Others also saw these things on the copper box and were sure that it was Wong Tai Sin's copper box.
"Oh my god, isn't this Wong Tai Sin's copper box?" Yanzi said subconsciously.
"It should be." Ding Si nodded and said.
"How about we open it and see what's inside?" The fat man was very curious and had long forgotten the death of the Kwantung Army squadron.
Seeing this, Wang Ye quickly stopped him, "Fat man, this box is dangerous. Even though it is small, it is a small temple with strong winds. Have you forgotten how those Japanese died?"
Only the descendants of the Great Xianbei Witch can open this copper box. If anyone else opens it, they will definitely turn into mummies.
Hearing this, the fat man stopped opening the copper box, but the next moment Huamei snatched the copper box away.
"Huamei, what are you doing?" Lao Hu looked at Huamei and asked.
However, Huamei looked obviously wrong and did not answer Lao Hu's question. Instead, he wanted to open the copper box, which frightened everyone and quickly stopped him.
"It can't be opened." Lao Yangpi stopped, "We won't survive if we open it."
"Give it to me, this is life-saving." Huamei shouted hysterically while trying to snatch the copper box back.
"Old Hu, go ahead." Wang also stepped forward, snatched the copper box back from Lao Yangpi and Huamei, and handed it to Lao Hu, "Wrap it with a rag."
He remembered that this copper box seemed a little weird and could affect people's minds.
"Okay." Old Hu nodded, gave the copper box to the fat man, and went to comfort Hu Mei.
"Huamei, there are no life-saving things in this box, only harmful things." Wang Ye looked at Huamei and said.
"How do you know it's not a life-saving thing? You haven't opened it yet." Huamei replied unceremoniously.
"I really don't know, but someone here knows."
Wang Ye shook his head, and then looked at Lao Yangpi.
"Old man, it's time now. Tell me all the things you have hidden."
Everyone else looked at him when they heard what he said, and then looked at Lao Yangpi.
