The old woman took out the tortoise shell, pushed Nanfeng down, and began to apply scraping oil on his body.
Nan Feng lay down with his head down, his heart beating wildly, and the fire lamp in the room was very bright. Although it was just a glance before, he could clearly see that the characters on the tortoise shell were the same as the characters on the two tortoise shells in his hands. The difference was that The two pieces of tortoise shell in his hand were gray-white, while the tortoise shell in the old woman's hand was a little black, which made sense. The tortoise shell was used as a scraping board and was exposed to oil all year round, so its color would naturally change.
The old woman didn't know why Nan Feng was trembling. She just thought he was nervous. After applying the gua sha oil, she started scraping with tortoise shells in both hands. Although this man was old, his hands were strong, and he was able to wipe away Nan Feng's excited trembling with just one blow. It turned into trembling with pain, and if I didn't force myself to endure it, I would almost scream.
Before Nanfeng could recover, the second blow came again. This time Nanfeng couldn't hold back and screamed.
"Haha." The fat man gloated next door.
It was very difficult to stay awake under the severe pain. Nanfeng wanted to calm down and think, but he couldn't bear the severe pain. Others scraped for the purpose of scraping off the redness, but this old witch's purpose was probably to scrape off the skin.
Even if you can't bear it, you can only grit your teeth and endure it. If you don't let the old woman scrape, the old woman will take the tortoise shell and leave, and you have to buy time to think and judge.
First of all, we need to make sure that the old woman knows what she is using for scraping. Thinking about it carefully, she probably doesn't know. If the old woman knows that the tortoise shell used is a sacred book, she will definitely not reveal it to others easily.
Furthermore, it is not difficult to figure out how this piece of tortoise shell came to be in the hands of this old woman. The doctor’s predecessor was a witch doctor, and the witch doctor’s predecessor was a wizard. In the early years, wizards had a high status and were often tribal leaders. It is normal for this piece of tortoise shell to fall into the hands of a wizard. The earlier wizards should know the origin of this piece of tortoise shell, but something may have happened in the middle. The old wizard did not have time to inform the next wizard of the origin and purpose of the tortoise shell before he died. Therefore, the tortoise shell was simply regarded as a relic of the old wizard by the new wizard. Since the tortoise shell has the effect of nourishing yin and suppressing yang, it was used as a scraping board.
It is unclear which wizard originally discovered this piece of tortoise shell, but one thing is certain, that is, after the tortoise shell was discovered, someone once scrutinized it. The beast-controlling skills used by Hua Qier most likely came from a certain wizard. Elaboration of this tortoise shell.
The mountain man who took the bus the day before yesterday once said that several valley owners before Hua Cier did not have Hua Cier's ability to control beasts. This can also explain that a certain wizard died suddenly during the inheritance process and failed to pass on the beast-controlling skills derived from the Heavenly Book. The reason why Huacier mastered this skill must be by chance. A backup record of beast-controlling skills left by a wizard was found somewhere.
After making sure that the old woman didn't know the origin of the tortoise shell, the next thing to do was to try to get the piece of tortoise shell.
The fat man could hear Nan Feng crying out in pain from the next room, and he took great pleasure in his misfortune and kept laughing.
The fat man's laughter reminded Nan Feng of something. After screaming twice as the old woman scraped, he stood up and ran to the next room, shirtless.
"Haha, is it still fun?" The fat man laughed heartily.
Nanfeng ignored him and took the fat man's baggage and quickly rummaged through it.
"What are you looking for?" The fat man came over.
"Where are the jade you got from taking bribes in Yu County?" Nanfeng asked eagerly. When the fat man was an official in Yu County, many people gave him jade as gifts. The fat man accepted them all, and said that he would give them to Mo Li when he saw him in the future. A basket of jade was given to Mo Li. The two of them had returned to Yu County once after escaping from Chang'an. In addition to gold and letterheads, they also brought back some sundries including a slingshot. He clearly remembered that among them were jade bis and jade pendants.
Before the fat man could answer, Nanfeng found the pieces of jade, eagerly selected a jade pendant suitable for use as a scraping board, turned around and ran away.
"What are you doing?" The fat man was confused.
Nanfeng ran back to the room, but the old woman was still in a daze where she was, with the piece of tortoise shell still in her hand.
Nanfeng didn't say anything. He quickly walked up to the old woman, reached out and grabbed the piece of tortoise shell, gave her the jade pendant, and then lay down again with the tortoise shell.
The old woman said something in a barbaric language that Nanfeng couldn't understand, but judging by her tone, she didn't seem anxious or harsh.
After the old woman finished speaking, she saw Nanfeng didn't respond. She was stunned for a moment, then took the jade pendant and continued to help Nanfeng scrape Sha. The scraping boards can be roughly divided into three categories: wood type, horn bone type, and jade type. The one with the best scraping effect is jade. Nanfeng's behavior was interpreted by the old woman as saying that he couldn't bear the pain, so she changed the gua sha board.
Scraping with jade hurts, but at this moment the south wind hurts my body, and I feel happy in my heart. What is good fortune? This is good fortune. I originally thought that there was no hope of getting this piece of tortoise shell, but I didn't expect that not only did I get it, but it also took no effort. Then I thought of Li Chaozong and others were busy setting up formations in the back mountain to search, and they were even more happy. If Li Chaozong knew that the tortoise shell had been taken away by him, he would be so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood.
The maximum length of scraping should not exceed half a stick of incense. The old woman controlled the heat and stopped when the scraping was bleeding. She handed the jade pendant to the south wind, implying that she wanted to replace her tortoise shell.
Nanfeng lay motionless, pretending to be dumbfounded. The old woman said a few words, and when Nanfeng didn't return it, she took the jade pendant and left.
Seeing the old woman take away the jade pendant, Nanfeng felt relieved. The old woman taking the jade pendant meant that the exchange was acquiesced.
After the old woman walked away, Nanfeng took out the tortoise shell that was under him and took a closer look. The texture of this tortoise shell was exactly the same as the other two. The characters on it were also the same. However, this tortoise shell was not like the other two. The piece is so complete, and the edges of this piece of tortoise shell have been polished. The purpose is naturally to make it suitable for scraping. Fortunately, only the edges are polished. Most of the words are complete, and the incomplete ones are not serious. The main body is still there, so it is not difficult to distinguish.
"Hey, where's my jade?" Fatty shouted outside.
Hearing the fat man shouting, Nanfeng put away his tortoise shell and straightened his clothes. The fat man seemed to have become smarter recently, but it was still inappropriate to let him know about this for the time being. God knows if this guy would be stupid again.
"What you just barked was worse than killing a donkey." The fat man came in and teased.
"Go away." Nanfeng cursed casually.
The fat man wasn't angry either, "How about it, can you be more relaxed?"
"Not only is it light and refreshing, it's simply refreshing." Nanfeng said with a smile.
"Tell me, what did you just do?!" the fat man joked.
Nanfeng tied his cloth buttons and ignored him.
"Did you use my jade pendant as a token of love?" The fat man continued to tease.
Nan Feng glanced at the fat man. The fat man just seemed loyal and good. Anyone who thought he was a good person would be disappointed.
"How come I didn't realize you were this kind of person before?" The fat man still refused to let him go.
Nan Feng was in a good mood and did not quarrel with him.
Seeing that Nanfeng didn't respond, the fat man lost his interest in joking, "There was a kid who brought me water just now. I asked him. The fourteenth Hua Qi'er mentioned was a girl. I don't think you can take this bird." Let’s go, that’s my biological sister, if she wants it, it’s not your turn.”
"That's natural. A gentleman won't take away others' love, but I won't be polite if others don't love you." Nanfeng said with a smile.
The fat man didn't hear what Nanfeng said, "As long as you don't get angry, since we can't get the bird, let's leave quickly. Those guys are in the back mountain. It's too dangerous for us to stay here."
"It makes sense." Nanfeng nodded in agreement.
While the two were talking, Hua Ci'er came and said, "Little Beifeng, are you feeling better?"
"Much better. Thank you, brother. I'll remember this favor." Nanfeng thanked him sternly. With Hua Ci'er's mind, even getting the tortoise shell was useless. Hua Ci'er could only eat ready-made food and couldn't make inferences based on the tortoise shell. Research, but then again, even if Hua Qi'er can't research the tortoise shell, this piece of tortoise shell will always be obtained by his ancestors back then. The favor must be remembered and try to repay it in the future.
"Brother, why are you so polite? Let's go. The meat is almost done. Let's go drink." Hua Cic'er waved to the two of them.
Nanfeng walked a few steps quickly and caught up with Hua Qi'er, "Brother, the witch doctor was scraping me just now, and I replaced her with a scraping instrument."
"No need to change. Whatever you like, I'll let her give it to you." Hua Ci'er didn't care.
"Brother, my name is Nanfeng, not Beifeng. Don't call me wrong in the future." Nanfeng smiled. He told Hua Cic'er about this for two purposes. One is to let Hua Cic'er know about it. Second, Li Chaozong and others are nearby. If they cannot find the tortoise shell, they may be in trouble with the Orc Valley. At that time, Li Chaozong must know that the tortoise shell is in his hands. In this way, he will not be in trouble with the Orc Valley.
"It's so hard to remember the names of you Han people." Hua Ci'er changed the topic with a smile, "Hurry up, everyone is here."
"I've thought about it. We are now homeless, and even if we get Diao'er, we can't take care of it. I don't want Diao'er anymore, let's go with Shi Shi." Nanfeng said.
"There is a white luan on the 14th, what should I carve?" Hua Ci'er said casually.
Nanfeng was greatly surprised when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, what Hua Qi'er said should be the truth. Fatty had seen the surroundings last night. In addition to the giant eagle, there were two birds in the Western Mountain. Hua Qi'er said The Bai Luan mentioned must be one of them.
"I asked Fourteen just now, but it hasn't hatched yet. This thing has spirituality and needs to be raised at an early age, otherwise it won't be mature enough. You can live here with peace of mind, and you can leave when it hatches..."
