Chapter 224: The Wood of the Dragon Descending 2

readx;? I held the mirror in the palm of my hand and faced my face. Now, I have to see something extraordinary in the vague shadow above.www.biquge.info

It was indeed a face, but the eyebrows and facial features seemed to be different from my own. I look in the mirror every day and am very familiar with my eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth. So even if the image in the mirror is blurry, it has to be not much different from what I look like.

I have to admit that the person in the mirror is not me, but an ancient man with a bun. The man had two thick, straight eyebrows, which were raised diagonally towards the left and right corners of his forehead. He has large eyes, a high nose bridge, an extremely wide mouth, and extremely thick lips. If that face becomes clear, it should be a fierce-looking, short-tempered person.

Besides, only the ancients could tie the bun, and the bun of each dynasty was different, and only historians and folklorists could distinguish it. All I observed, was the face. It is conceivable that the owner of that face is in front of the mirror, so his own face will be reflected in the mirror. As a result, I couldn't see my face even though I was holding the mirror.

"The ancients in the mirror. I said.

Shen Jing was shocked: "Did you see him? this time? What is his expression?"

I couldn't answer, because the shadow was so vague that I could only see the outline, like a blank paper silhouette, and I couldn't see any expression at all. I couldn't bear to deceive Shen Jing, so I had to look down at the mirror again. The heart determines the face, so there is a saying that the face is born from the heart. With this kind of irritable face, there is rarely a smile on his face, except for his angry face, which is expressionless. Strange to say, when I thought about it, the shadow gradually became clearer, and the face was indeed angry, as if the anger in my heart was about to explode.

His expression was angry. I said.

In this case, I can only judge that the shadow was originally present in the bronze mirror, just like an ancient painting.

"He's angry, he's angry. Shen Jing muttered to himself.

When I looked more closely in the mirror, the shadow became blurry again. If the shadow is just a watermark on the mirror, then it should not move. No matter how realistic a three-dimensional painting is, it is still dead, and it is fundamentally different from the world reflected in the mirror.

Suddenly, my instincts were unusually sharp to tell me that the painting was moving. Intuition is the direct feeling of the eyes and ears, and although I only see a motionless watermark in my eyes, intuitively, there is always a slight change in expression on that face.

In other words, he is like a wise thinker, standing still on the surface, thinking about life, but reason tells me that a painting is absolutely still and does not produce any movement.

"Think about it again, why is he angry?" Shen Jing asked.

I couldn't help but smile wryly, because these words were so ridiculous. Shen Jing seems to regard me as an omniscient prophet, or an impermanent person who is well versed in the two worlds of yin and yang. Unfortunately, I can only describe what I feel intuitively, and if I go beyond that, it becomes speculation.

"Mr. Shen, maybe we shouldn't talk about the issues we are discussing here, because those contents are too mysterious and require us to calm down and think about it, not talk nonsense. I replied to him.

Originally, I had enough troubles, and I went out for coffee with Lian Chengbi, just to discuss with each other and sort out the messy information in my head. Shen Jing broke in with this bronze mirror, which was a big accident.

"Think againβ€”"

As soon as Shen Jing said these four words, I immediately raised my hand to stop him: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, my mind is already messed up and I can't answer you." ”

This is both an excuse and a fact, I really feel that my brain is overworking and there is a lack of oxygen, and my temples are aching, and my heart is beating irregularly.

I waved in the direction of the counter and shouted to the waiter: "A cup of strong coffee, no sugar and no milk." ”

At this time, espresso stimulates my nerves and gives my body strength.

Shen Jing's hand reached into his pocket again and took out a small tin foil bag, which was only the size of a finger.

"Eat these and you'll be much better. He said.

I'm sure it's still a snow petyl coat inside.

"No need, a cup of espresso will do the trick. I said.

He sneered disdainfully: "Espresso, if espresso really solves the problem, I don't have to-"

Just then, the waiter came over with a tray and placed a large cup of espresso in front of me.

"Sir, we ...... here," the waiter said uneasily, glancing at the tin foil bag on the table.

Waiters in big cities have very poisonous eyes, and when they see this kind of tin foil bag, they always think of drugs. This cafΓ© is the property of Lianchengbi, and I am a friend of Lianchengbi, so the waiter chose to come over to remind me instead of calling the police.

According to the current police regulations, citizens can receive a large amount of money if they report and expose drug abuse and trafficking.

"Thank you. "I took two hundred dollars out of my pocket, rolled them into a roll, and stuffed them into the waiter. No matter what's in the foil bag, the waiter has given me face, and I should have said something.

"You're welcome sir, if there is any need, we will temporarily close the business. He said.

I shook my head, "No, neither this gentleman nor I are players, and there are no drugs in the foil bag." Don't worry, I'm Miss Lian's friend, and I won't cause her trouble. ”

The waiter was suspicious, went behind the counter, and consulted with the other two waitresses, one of whom went to the front door and hung up the sign that was closed.

"You must have the attitude of asking me. I said to Shen Jing with a calm face.

"What kind of attitude do you want?" he asked.

"Let's talk about the ins and outs of this bronze mirror first, and then cooperate with my time action. If you just come and go with me, there's no need for people to sit down at the same table. ”

I've been talking to Shen Jing for so long, and Lian Chengbi has never come back, which makes me a little worried. However, I can't let Shen Jing see it, so I have to be silent.

"I have no comment. Shen Jing said.

I put the bronze mirror back, pushed the box back to Shen Jing, and then picked up the coffee cup.

"You know, no one in the North would dare to talk to me with that attitude. Otherwise, you would have been torn to pieces by the wolves of the steppe. Xia Shi, if it weren't for King Yan's order to let everyone be polite to you, I wouldn't have bothered to meet you in this roundabout way. My attitude succeeded in infuriating him, and the two words he said about King Yan also confirmed my previous judgment.

"Well, that is the end of the conversation. This is the city of Jinan, compared to the northern desert, this is the big city of the Central Plains. So, your rules have to be changed, and everything starts all over again. I said lightly.

Shen Jing was indeed angry, but he was helpless against me. If he makes a fuss, the police will come in the blink of an eye, so he can't take advantage of anything.

"Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, goodbye. He grabbed the tin foil bag on the table and straightened his belt. Striding out.

I finished the whole cup of espresso and felt a little better. Settle down and carefully recall the mirrored wonders you just saw.

If you increase the contrast of that phantom, you can get a clear picture. Modern computer technology can do anything, and virtual software can be used to obtain details that cannot be observed by the human eye, and some of the computer experts I know can do that.

The point is, what does that face mean?

The bronze mirrors in the Hero Hill Antique Market are all casually thrown on old blankets, and most of the mirrors are covered by patina, turning into an out-and-out rust bump.

Only veterans who are good at Taobao will pay attention to this kind of thing.

Shen Jing put the bronze mirror in such a precious box, it should be explained that the value of the bronze mirror is much higher than that of the box made of dragon descending wood. So, what kind of mirror is this, and who is in the mirror?

In the first contact just now, I only understood one key issue, that is, the "Beijing Yan Family" has been deeply involved in the affairs of Jinan City.

Yan Gexing came to Jinan, the goal was not clear, except for the battle with the Japanese illusionist in Baihuazhou, the rest of the time, did not show any strong strength.

On the contrary, as soon as Shen Jing appeared, he provoked a new contradiction, and he teased Lianchengbi under the nose of King Qin.

This kind of "to the point" way of appearing makes me have to be impressed.

After Shen Jing left, more than twenty minutes passed before Lian Chengbi returned tired.

Her shoes and trousers were all rubbed by grass, and the soles of her shoes were stained with a lot of humus.

"A cup of espresso with double dark chocolate. She sat down and called in the direction of the counter.

"Give me the same one. I added.

Lian Chengbi was really tired, and in the few minutes he waited for coffee, he lay down on the table, pillowed his arm, and silently closed his eyes to take a nap.

I didn't speak, waiting for her to speak.

When the coffee came, Lian Chengbi looked up sharply, hugged the coffee cup, and drank it in a big gulp.

I looked at her and deeply felt that it was too hard to be a strong woman like her in today's rivers and lakes.

"Oh-" She let out a long sigh as the coffee cup bottomed out, and lay down on the table again.

I know very well that Shen Jing must have laid a rather laborious trap this time in order to hold her back.

"There are people from the Zhao Wanghui in the back mountain...... Three ups and three downs, chasing them, all punished. She said vaguely, "The people of Zhao Wanghui are really shameless, and they dare to come to Changqing District to brush the tiger's beard." It seems that if they don't give them some color, they may think that Hebei, Tianjin, and Shandong have become the back garden of Zhao Wanghui. ”

As a bystander, I don't want to belittle her, but this time, Shen Jing's wisdom is obviously above her.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be safe. I responded.

"I just walked in...... Someone reported to me, do you have a friend visiting?" she half-looked up, her chin resting on her arm, and squinted at me.

I shook my head: "It's not a friend, it's a stranger." ”

Lian Chengbi was stunned: "Stranger, stranger can talk to you for so long?"

I directly reported Shen Jing's name: "From the north, Shen Jing." ”

Lian Chengbi immediately sat up straight and stared at me.

When we looked at each other, we omitted a lot of meaningless conversations, because Shen Jing's background was very clear to everyone, and such a big man from the north entering Jinan City was likely to stir up a pool of spring water.

"He showed me an ancient bronze mirror with a human apparition in it. I guess he meant to show me who was in the mirror. Unfortunately, although the mirror was in good condition, the phantom was blurry, and I could not meet his request. He said that the enemies on the back hill were also deliberately arranged to lure you away from the cafΓ©. Now, he's gone, probably because he thinks I can't help. ”

I told all the facts in one go, so as not to waste any more time asking questions bit by bit.

"Is the bronze mirror you said in a very peculiar wooden box?" asked Lian Chengbi.

"Yes, a box made of Dragon's Wood. I replied.

Lian Chengbi nodded: "Yes, yes, it is the Wooden Box of the Dragon Descent." I thought you'd ignore the box and not point out its material. ”

I added a little more: "Miss Lian, I thought that Shen Jing pretended to be a waiter and poisoned our coffee cups, so the coffee smelled." I'm ashamed, I guessed wrong. What Shen Jing put into the coffee was not poison, but a precious herb called 'Snow Swallow Cloth'. I've already drunk the coffee and I don't feel anything special. ”

Speaking of which, I have already recounted the main events after Shen Jing's appearance for Lian Chengbi to make a judgment.
