Chapter 50: Proof of Existence
In Xu Zi'an's more than 10-year career as a thief, the most memorable one for him was when he sneaked into the mansion of a top collector by posing as a repairman.
The decoration of the antique old house is very exquisite and perfect, and there is no cave. The Persian carpet with complex and exquisite workmanship, the red sandalwood couch carved in the middle with the lifelike dragon flying phoenix dance pattern is deep in color, dense in texture, fine in texture, you can smell the faint smell of sandalwood from afar, you can know that it is valuable at a glance, and the ornaments around are even more shocking, from the white jade statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva who is more than one person high to the horse figure of Xu Beihong, it seems that there are a lot of stories to tell when you pick out a random piece.
Even the ashtray on the pear blossom wood coffee table is colorful and has a strange shape - it is a colorful food plate of the Inca people, it seems that it has been some years, Xu Zi'an saw a similar one at the auction before, starting at 100,000 yuan.
With so many priceless treasures in front of him, Xu Zi'an was a little at a loss, or he didn't know what to do, as if a girl was choosing lipstick, and he didn't know where to start!
It's paradise! Just let me stay here until I die!
Looking at the basement of the dilapidated teahouse, Xiao Zhi had the same feeling as at that time, the feeling of being in heaven!
The first thing that caught Xiao Zhi's eyes was a somewhat dazzling light like daytime - the greatest invention that Xiao Zhi had not seen for many years on this ancient continent, and he had even forgotten a little, filled the entire basement with brightness, which allowed him to see the whole picture of the basement clearly. The area of the basement is large, and the entire underground of the street is connected together to form a huge enclosed space, and you can't see the edge at all when you stand in the corner. All sorts of things were placed on neat rows of huge shelves, some familiar products of the era in which I had lived, and some things that I had never seen and that I didn't know what they were used for.
Rows of books, assorted clothing, medical medicines, wine arranged by vintage, and even modern weapons such as long guns and cannons, grenades, and sabers are neatly placed in translucent cabinets, waiting for those who are familiar with them.
"These ...... It's all teleported. Xiao Zhen's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he rubbed his eyes again to want to re-examine the authenticity of the things in front of him, "It's incredible!" ”
"It's all collected from all over the world, after all, there is a lot of uncertainty in the teleportation mechanism, and the items may not be teleported to, and it took us a long time to find these things." The girl explained.
A few people sat down at a round table in the basement to rest, Xiao Zhi was still staring intently at the things on the shelves, he was still shocked by the things that suddenly appeared in front of him, his eyes unconsciously stared at every object he was familiar with, as if he wanted to imprint their appearance in his mind.
Song Qinglian seemed to have expected Xiao Zhi's somewhat sluggish expression, just smiled, turned around slowly, and took out a box of nephrite from nowhere as if he was playing a trick, and handed it to Wu Haoze.
The girl was very disgusted by the strong smell of smoke, "You three, don't smoke in the basement, what if it catches fire?" ”
"I'm sorry, let's make an exception this time, in order to bring someone back to their senses." Song Qinglian looked diagonally across and asked meaningfully, "How do you feel now?" ”
Xiao Zhi stared at the burning cigarette for a long time, and when it was almost halfway burned, he carefully put it to his mouth, took a deep breath, and suffocated it for a long time as if he tasted it, but his body was not used to coughing.
"I used to smoke a lot, and I haven't touched it since I came into this world, and this feeling is both familiar and familiar." Xiao Zhi lowered his head and only watched the cigarette burn in his hand, "How to say, although this body is not familiar with or even resists the smell of smoke, but my soul is nostalgic for this smell." ”
The smoke that swirled around him, everything in the basement, made Xiao Zhen's brain constantly recall the era he once existed and lived in, even though it had been gone for a long time.
What were the people of that era, their old friends, relatives or strangers, doing?
"If I stay here, I will feel alive, I will know where I came from, and I will not lose my way." Song Qinglian smiled, seemed to understand Xiao Zhi very well, took out a worn-out Browning pistol from the cabinet, carefully wiped it and said.
"Okay, hurry up and check, it will be a problem if he goes back late." Wu Haoze finished smoking in a muffled voice, snatched the Lay's potato chips that the girl was eating, and interrupted.
"Give it back to me, there aren't a few bags of this spicy fragrant pot flavor." The girl's face was full of displeasure and she wanted to take the chips back.
"I'll give it to you when I'm done."
"Okay." The girl looked at Xiao Zhi and briefly introduced, "My name is Yang Qianqian, and I am a traverser and a researcher of the teleportation mechanism. ”
"Researcher, do you know a lot about teleportation and the Nuwa Project?" Xiao Zhi asked impatiently, "Then what's going on with my crossing?" ”
"This still needs to be checked specifically, with my understanding of the teleportation mechanism, there has not been an example of only soul crossing, you are special." Yang Qianqian said, leading Xiao Zhi to a large machine not far from the round table.
"This is a simple body imaging device, I'll give you a brief examination first." The generator was rumbling to the side to generate electricity, and after a while, the display light came on, and the machine slowly sent Xiao Zhi into the photo area.
Yang Qianqian, who was on the side, carefully checked Xiao Zhen's image and picture, looked at it many times, and confirmed, "It's not wrong, this is the body image of an ordinary twenty-year-old man, nothing special." ”
"Since it's an ordinary person, why is my soul attached to it." Xiao Zhi asked puzzled.
"You're wrong, this Xiao Zhen's body shouldn't be an ordinary body image. The five organs of the body of a person with Dao Qi are different from ordinary people. Song Qinglian squinted his eyes and explained, "Before your soul crossed over, although Xiao Zhi was frail, he was very talented in Dao Qi, and the world knew it. ”
"But it was quite difficult for me to go from the beginning of the Tao to the practice of the Dao."
"Possessing Dao Qi and using Dao Qi are two different things, Xiao Zhi is born with Dao Qi." Song Qinglian sighed, "I forgot, you still don't know anything, so let's start with Dao Qi." ”
