Damn, it's really evil, how did this thing fall out, and it just happened to stand up, Gao Chao couldn't help but feel that the air around it seemed to solidify, becoming cold and abnormal, and immediately quickly picked up the bronze drum on the ground and put it back in his backpack, but when he stood there and looked at the bronze drum in the backpack, he felt very inappropriate, so he took it out again, put it in the safe under his bed and locked it, and then he seemed to relax, The heart said that it would be okay now.

But after all this was done, he was already choking on the cold, but at this moment he had no Yaxing to take a shower again, so he turned off all the lights in the room, and quickly went to bed and got into the bed, and after a while, he was already asleep.

This sleep, as if he had slept for thousands of years, in a drowsy state, he seemed to wander back to the reckless mountains of northwest Yunnan again, shuttling through the depths of the endless dense jungle, walking on the ancient and deep sheep intestine path, suddenly, he stepped on the air and fell into a big pit, the big pit seemed to be bottomless, falling, forever falling, the darkness swallowed everything in an instant, and there was nothing else around him except cold.

Suddenly, everything came to a standstill, and he seemed to hover in the darkness of the void.

At this moment, not far in front of him, a bright lamp suddenly lit up, and the light was in a trance, getting closer and closer, and he saw clearly that it was not a bright lamp, it was actually a fire, a fire that was burning, and there was a person in the fire, that person had been completely engulfed in the fire, but he was not dead, his body was twisted in pain, and his limbs were also swinging in the fire, it was as if he was dancing in the fire, dancing the dance of death.

Suddenly, just as the man was dancing in pain, there were bursts of drums in the darkness around him, and the drum beat was sometimes dull, sometimes high-pitched, it went from light to heavy, and from heavy to light, up and down, and between light and heavy, as if there was some kind of evil rhythm, which made Gao Gao's heartbeat tremble painfully with the sound of the drum.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a yin wind behind him, the yin wind was cold and abnormal, and when it crossed his back, it was like a steel knife cutting between his flesh and skin, and he couldn't help but quickly turn around and want to see what was going on.

It turned out that not far behind him, there was a woman standing at some point.

The woman had long black hair up to her waist, was dressed in a bright red robe, wore a bright gold-crowned feather crown, long sleeves were wide and hung down her knees, her hands were crossed in front of her chest, and on a snow-white face, she had a pair of black eyes, staring at Gao Chao upright at the moment.

Who is it? Gao Chao wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't open his mouth, and his whole body seemed to be frozen at this time, unable to move.

By this time the woman had already floated towards him, and he wanted to scream and escape, but she was still like a rotten tree.

But in the blink of an eye, the woman had come to him, she spread her hands, and grabbed his shoulders, he saw that there was no flesh on her hands, it was completely a pair of white bone claws, the woman used to exert force, the white bone claws had pierced into his body, and when the blood flowed out, the woman seemed to be laughing.

At this time, the evil drum sounded again, and he suddenly found that his body began to burn, and it was burning with the woman, he tried his best to break free, but it was too late, I don't know when, the woman had already clung to his body, in the flames, burned with him, he cried out in pain, but still could not make a sound.

But at this time, the evil drum beat became louder and louder, as if it was beating in his ears, and the surrounding firelight became brighter and brighter, as if this darkness was gradually extinguished by the raging flames burning on him and the woman, at this moment, everything became clear, but the face of the woman in front of him became more and more blurred, more and more abstract, until it ......

He suddenly opened his eyes and realized that it was a dream.

At this moment, the ringtone of the mobile phone was ringing in his ears, very noisy, and he realized that the evil drum sound in his ears just now might be the ringtone of the mobile phone, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva dryly, and helplessly grabbed the mobile phone beside him.

As he expected, the fat man's voice came from the other side of the phone: "Lao Gao, where did you go last night?" I went to your house early in the morning to look for you, and found that you didn't come home last night, say it! Did you go where you were last night? It's not that I'm talking about you, you kid is really bad at learning now, why don't you patronize yourself and don't call me brother? Say, Where are you now? ”

Hearing the fat man talking so nonsense, Gao Chao had no choice but to rub his eyes and say angrily: "Where else can I be?" I'm in my own house here in Xiaoxiang, I didn't go home last night, I slept here......"

The two of them said a few more words on the phone, Gao Chao hung up the phone, and when he looked at the time, it was already noon, and then he knew that he had indeed slept for a long time, but at the moment his body did not seem to be tired at all, and he was still quite tired, he thought that maybe it was because of the dream last night.

So he thought again of the woman in the bright red robe in the dream, and the thunderous and breathtaking drums, everything was too real, so when he thought about it at this moment, there would be a chill on his body, and he couldn't help but shiver, but for some reason he suddenly thought of the bronze drum, the bronze drum that he had brought home from Yunnan thousands of miles away, the bronze drum that was now under his bed—could it be that this dream still had something to do with that bronze drum?

Thinking of this, Gao Chao couldn't help but feel that the room was getting cold again, so he quickly turned over and got up to wash up, then took out the bronze drum from the safe under the bed, put it in his bag, and went out of the house.

The fat man is already in the hall, his family's hall is called "Wanjin Pavilion", and the hall of Gao Chao's house "Qibaoxuan" is opposite the door, the two are the same, they are time-honored brands, and now like their two old halls, there are no more than ten on the street of Qingshuitang.

Bayi Road is not far from Qingshuitang, and Gao Chao walked around without much effort, and he came to his own hall.

When he stepped into the door, he saw the fat man's sister Xiaoxue sitting behind the counter, fiddling with something, so he deliberately walked over cautiously, and when he got closer to her, he suddenly shouted, startling Xiaoxue.

Gao Chao laughed, but Xiaoxue patted his chest and said, "Brother Chao, what are you doing here?" You want to scare me to death? ”

Xiaoxue glared at Gao Chao, but Gao Chao said with a smile: "I'm scared of you, who made you so focused, let me see, what are you doing so seriously?" ”

As he spoke, Gao Chao looked into the counter, who knew that Xiaoxue's face was flushed, and he quickly hid something in his hand, and shouted that he wanted to fight Gao Chao, but how could Gao Chao be what she could hit, he turned around and slipped towards the entrance of the fat man opposite, and casually said Let Xiaoxue take a good look at the store for him, and invite her to a big dinner at night.

There are also two rooms at the entrance of the fat man's house, the front room is placed on the counter to pick up some ordinary antiques, and there is an inner room used to talk about business in the back, and the general guest transactions are completed in the front room, but if there is a ghost goods that are not seen or a glance of goods called for the price of the trip to be traded, generally for the sake of safety, the guests will be invited to the back room to negotiate.

At this moment, as soon as the fat man saw Gao Chao enter the door, he quickly put down the roller shutter door of his house, Gao Chao saw that he was so nervous, so he said half-jokingly: "Fat man, what's the matter, even the door is closed with such pomp, is there a sky-high price in your hands today?" Hurry up and show it to me, let me open my eyes too! ”

The fat man didn't want to pay attention to Gao Chao's stubble at all, but whispered to him: "Shh, let's talk in detail in the back room." ”
