Chapter 1720 Coins
Before anyone else could say anything, Tang Feng frowned slightly and asked Hong Yuhao, "What does that amulet look like?"
Although in Tang Feng's view, the idea that Tongtong was a "saint" seemed a bit ridiculous, the amulet that Hong Yuhao mentioned made him somewhat interested.
Hong Yuhao made a palm-sized triangle with his hand and said: "It's about this big. It's like the talisman paper in the movie. It's yellow and a little rough to the touch. There are many spell-like patterns painted on it in red. Because it is folded, I can’t tell what the exact painting is. There is a coin wrapped in the folded inner layer.”
"Coin? What coin?" Zixuan was a little surprised.
This was the first time she heard that coins were used as amulets.
Although everyone has their own way of making this amulet, and different sects and schools also have different techniques, this was the first time she heard of using coins as amulets.
Surprised, she looked specifically towards Tang Feng, casting a somewhat inquiring look.
She felt that she had not been in this world for too long, and now she didn't know about this new type of amulet?
Tang Feng just shook his head slightly and did not answer. He still looked at Hong Yuhao, waiting for him to continue.
Hong Mingzhe hurriedly asked his brother: "What do the coins look like? Have you seen them? Are they of most denominations? Which country are they from?"
Hong Yuhao scratched his hair, shook his head, and recalled: "The coin was wrapped in paper. Of course I couldn't see it. I just touched it with my hand. It was about the same size as our Chinese one-yuan coin, but , and it seems to be a little thinner and not that heavy. It seems more like a game coin. It has different bumps and convexes to the touch. The lines on it should be darker than the coins we commonly use, but of course you can't tell which country it is from. , However, this coin is wrapped inside, and there are countless layers of paper folded on the outside. Maybe it doesn’t feel very accurate when you touch it.”
Although Hong Yuhao thought about it very seriously, what he said was only this, which sounded of no reference value at all.
"Or foreign coins?" Zixuan frowned, and the look on her face was already more surprised.
This situation seemed to be beyond her knowledge.
It's quite strange to have coins inside the amulet. There are foreign coins inside. Could it be that this is an amulet imported from a foreign country?
Tang Feng shook his head towards her and said calmly: "It's copper coins."
Zixuan's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands and said, "Copper coins are right! I've never heard that amulets are made of coins!"
Shangguan and Ji Ning couldn't help but nod their heads as they listened. They were frowning in thought, but now they also looked like they were suddenly enlightened.
Hong Yuhao said "Ah", as if he was awakened by Tang Feng's words. He kept nodding his head and said: "Yes, yes, it's copper coins, the kind of copper coins shown in movies! How can I I didn’t expect it, I thought it was a coin!”
After all, he is just a student. If he is not very interested in antiques, then he has only seen things like copper coins in movies and TV. It is normal that he did not expect them.
After Shangguan listened to Hong Yuhao's words, she raised her eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but said: "This amulet sounds quite satisfactory. We have seen such things in our sect."
Zixuan also nodded and said: "Actually, there is no fixed style of amulet. As long as it can play a role, anything can be used. However, generally speaking, the most common one is indeed like this - do you still have the amulet of yours? ?”
Hong Yuhao shook his head and said: "The situation was very chaotic at that time. Several of us inside felt quite scary and our minds were not very clear. In fact, looking back on what happened inside, I can no longer remember clearly. As for the amulet, I knew it had no effect, so I didn’t care. Under such circumstances, I didn’t know where to throw it.”
"What about other people's?" Zixuan asked again.
She was also somewhat interested in this amulet.
If there really was a coin in the amulet, she wouldn't take it seriously, because it was most likely just to deceive people, but if there were copper coins in it, it would be different.
This combination of talisman paper, charms and copper coins looks too much like a real amulet.
Moreover, most of the runes written with cinnabar on yellow paper are indeed afraid of water, and will malfunction once exposed to water.
Could it be that this amulet is real?
If the amulet is real, then Tongtong's identity seems to be open to question.
But to Zixuan's disappointment, Hong Yuhao still shook his head and said, "I don't know. After we came back, we were all worried about this matter. No one wanted to mention it again, so I didn't ask them about it. Moreover, something happened to me soon and I had no contact with them.”
Seeing that Zixuan seemed to be very interested in the amulet, Hong Mingzhe hurriedly said: "Miss Zixuan, I can ask the parents of those people to see whose ones are still there."
Zixuan nodded and said, "Okay."
Hong Mingzhe quickly took out his mobile phone, walked to the door and made a call.
The one he called should be the parents of one of the boys who went to South Korea with Hong Yuhao.
"Mr. Gao, please ask, when your child came back from abroad, did he bring an amulet... Yes, the amulet, a yellow paper folded into a triangle, with a copper coin wrapped inside. Besides him, did anyone else bring him an amulet?" I heard him talk about it, who brought the others back?"
After the call was connected, Hong Mingzhe asked directly, very politely, and he seemed very familiar with the parents.
Although Hong Mingzhe was standing at the door making a phone call, Tang Feng and others could naturally hear the voice over there clearly.
There was a middle-aged man's voice on the other side. He didn't expect that Hong Mingzhe would call and ask this question. He said in a surprised voice: "I haven't seen this thing. My children's things are all collected by my wife." Yes, wait a moment, let me ask her, does Mr. Hong mean that these children all have something? My wife happens to be at the school right now, and two other parents are also there. I asked her to ask by the way. one time."
"That's Mr. Lago, thank you."
After Hong Mingzhe hung up the phone, he sat back to his previous position and said to Tang Feng and Zixuan, "There will be news soon."
