Chapter 109: Black Light Bearing Down
Chapter 109 Black Light Bearing Down
Cheng Jiuhe almost laughed again. He patted Mengyu’s hair, feeling somewhat regretful. If only he had the money, he could have let his sister buy whatever she wanted—how wonderful that would be.
"Alright, let’s go back."
But Mengyu refused to leave.
Mengyu, pulling on Cheng Jiuhe’s hand, insisted, "Brother, we haven’t checked the other rooms yet. Even if we don’t buy anything, it’s still nice to look. Can we please check them out?"
Cheng Jiuhe was torn between laughter and tears. After all, who would like to just look around without buying anything?
However, as an indulgent brother, he naturally listened to his sister, and so they moved through the rooms one by one.
As they entered each room, Xiao Tao would scream with excitement, urging Mengyu to buy the antiques it fancied. But Mengyu paid it no mind.
Just as they were about to finish and ready to leave, Mengyu noticed there was one last room they had not entered. Pulling on her brother’s hand, she said, "The last one, let’s take a look."
Although they couldn’t afford to buy anything, she still wanted to see. This was probably her only visit, and she would regret not looking.
However, no sooner had they entered the last room than Mengyu regretted it.
Upon entering the last room, Xiao Tao suddenly let out a sharp scream!
The sound was unbearable for Mengyu.
"Quickly, we must buy everything here, all of it!" Xiao Tao was yelling frantically.
Mengyu mentally commanded, "Stop!"
Apart from the vendor himself, there was no one else in the room.
She turned to look at the vendor in the room.
But what did she see?
Mengyu had been learning medical skills, the first of which was the Qi Observation Skill.
Every person exudes an aura around the top of their head, also known as the halo. Those who have practiced can see it.
This aura is closely related to one’s physical health.
Normally, a healthy aura is white;
Those who are sub-healthy have a light gray aura;
Sick individuals have a gray aura;
And those close to death, have a black aura!
And right before her, above the vendor’s head, was a patch of black light, bearing down, compressing the white light on top of his head to just a thin layer.
This is the well-known phenomenon of dark clouds looming overhead!
If that thin layer of white light were to break, his days would be numbered.
Clearly, the white light above him wouldn’t last many days. In other words, without her intervention, he didn’t have long to live.
But he was no older than sixteen!
His spirit was very low; he kept his head down, looking at the seven or eight antiques before him and didn’t even look up when Mengyu and her brother entered.
Mengyu sighed quietly to herself and shifted her gaze to the items in the room, which were also engulfed in dark clouds.
Mengyu realized then that everything in this room consisted of Ming Dynasty Items!
Ming sounds like the word for necropolis, implying that the objects in this room were all meant to accompany the dead.
Initially, many antiques are burial items, but if the tomb’s Yin Energy isn’t too strong, such Ming Dynasty Items can be cleaned and placed in the sun, and the Yin Energy would dissipate.
However, if the tomb is a greatly ominous one, with Yin Energy deeply embedded into the objects and turned into Evil Energy, no amount of sunlight can eliminate it.
Whoever has such antiques by their side allows the Evil Energy to erode their body, causing illness, and in severe cases, death!
Of course, the first one to be eroded by Evil Energy is usually the tomb raider.
Like the vendor before her, because he was with a bunch of Ming Dynasty Items with thick Yin Energy, his head was already bearing down under a black light.
This person didn’t have many days left to live!
All the while, Xiao Tao was still shouting, "Hurry, master, hurry and buy up all these treasures!"
