I picked up my coffee cup and, without the slightest hesitation, threw my head up and drank it all in one go. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Strangely, those white thread-like things are not "dead", but have a kind of dynamic vitality.

There are many ingredients in the world, and the Japanese love sashimi and "raw food", and the feeling that I just ate white silk thread is similar to watching Japanese people eat live octopus.

In short, I feel that I am eating "living things", not ordinary ingredients.

"What is in that cup, leave it to Lianchengbi. I said.

The man sneered: "I only added coffee to that cup, nothing else." Xue Yan's clothes are so precious that even I have never eaten them, so how can I give them to irrelevant people at will? In my eyes, what are the kings of Qin, Lian Chengbi, and Qin Gongzi? Only I, the orthodox capital, am the lord of the world's rivers and lakes. ”

His tone is extremely arrogant, which is very different from that of ordinary people.

Looking at the momentum, he didn't take the heroes of the world outside the capital in his eyes at all.

"What is Orthodoxy?" I asked.

He snorted again, but didn't bother to explain, and took a flat black wooden box from the inner pocket of his suit.

The material of the wooden box is very strange, the texture is charred black, but it has a naturally occurring silver line, each line curled like a snake. This kind of wood has a striking record in the classics, and it is the legendary "dragon descending wood" that can ward off all evil in the world.

The common people of Jinan all know the name of "descending dragon wood" from the traditional commentary, and know that the strange wood once helped the former loyal minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yang family, to break through the Tianmen Town of the Liao State and defend the Han nationality.

This "dragon wood" is different from the other "dragon wood", the latter is only a wood to ward off evil spirits, while the former is a combination of animals and plants, which can not only ward off evil spirits, but also can be used as a basis to refine all kinds of unbelievable thaumaturgy.

The main reason is that the silver threads inside the wood are all self-pupated live insects, which have survived for at least 5,000 years, and they are all ancient animals with immeasurable living fossil value.

"Shen Jing, the first ranger outside the gate. From the "Wood of the Dragon" box, I immediately guessed his name.

This is a very remarkable character, the No. 1 ranger in the three eastern provinces, Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia, and Western Xinjiang. As long as there are water and grass, as long as the name of the water mirror is mentioned, the herdsmen all bow down devoutly.

He is a well-deserved "ranger", who has always spent money like dirt, hoeed the strong and helped the weak, and did too many good things for the herdsmen, and was called "the living bodhisattva on the grassland" by the common people.

If there is a real philanthropist in China, if he is the second, then no one dares to call the first.

"There's something I want to show you. Shen Jing said.

To be able to hold something in such a box must be unparalleled in the world, otherwise it will be a joke to buy and return the pearls.

I nodded, silently expecting.

Shen Jing put his right hand on the lid of the box, but did not open it immediately, but groaned slightly, and looked up at me: "How are you feeling now?" Is there an uncomfortable feeling of rolling up and down in your chest, or is it a feeling of dizziness or drowsiness?"

I shook my head, "No." ”

"Could it be that we were wrong? It stands to reason that your body has reached the limit of the stress it can handle, and it should be quite uncomfortable. Otherwise, why would I go all the way to give you the snow swallow clothes? It's weird, it's weird. He murmured.

I closed my eyes and turned my head slowly, making sure I didn't feel dizzy, or I had any headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, or anything like that. From Shen Jing's cautious attitude, I could guess that what he wanted me to see must be something that could cause a strong reaction. So, he would make sure I was in good health.

"I'm fine. I opened my eyes and looked at him calmly.

"Well, maybe we really misjudged. If I had known this, I should have omitted the previous steps and just come to see you. "He had some regrets.

I didn't talk nonsense, let alone expose his identity. A big man like him has long been tired of being touted and praised by others, and once the identity is clarified, the communication between us will become very awkward.

With a click, he lifted the buckle on the side of the box and slowly lifted the lid. The contents were wrapped in a black silk cloth, and as soon as I looked at it, I knew that it was a highly blackout material, at least ten times more than a normal blackout curtain. Extrapolating from experience, even a powerful flashlight used by special forces, covered by that cloth, cannot be seen through at all.

"This thing is weird, you better be mentally prepared. He reminded.

I was a little apprehensive if that thing could emit a bright light, like the flash arc of a welder. Well, without sunglasses to cover it, whoever sees a bright light will hurt their eyes.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

I nodded, calmly staring at the contents of the box.

He pinched the corner of the black cloth with the tips of his thumb and forefinger and carefully lifted it. To my surprise, what was under the black cloth did not emit a bright light, but took on a rusty dark green color.

It turned out to be a bronze ancient mirror. The mirror faces down and the mirror back up. Instead of emitting a strong light, it has no light at all, it is simple and old, and it is not outstanding. In the Jinan Hero Mountain antique market, there are many similar bronze mirrors, both fake and genuine. I have personally seen bronze mirrors ranging from tens of yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, because of the age, even if the quality is excellent, the mirror can no longer reflect anything.

I breathed a sigh of relief silently, and my hanging heart was put down.

It's just that the other party's expression is becoming more and more solemn, as if there is something else in this bronze mirror. He freed his hand, pulled out a new pair of white flannel gloves from his pocket, and threw them over.

Without him saying it, I understood, quickly put on the gloves.

Anyone who has ever been involved in the antiques industry knows that sweat stains on people's hands can corrode antiques. Therefore, touching antiques empty-handed is a taboo in this industry, and only a layman would do that.

I put on my gloves and held up my hands to gesture to him.

He held the sides of the box with both hands and slowly pushed it towards me.

"You'd better ...... You'd better hold the mirror in both hands so you don't break it. He reminded again.

I didn't refute, I didn't pretend to be sensible, but honestly pinched the handle of the beast's head behind the bronze mirror with both hands, and carefully turned the mirror up, facing up, and holding it in the palm of my hand.

Since it's a mirror, it's for people to appreciate the mirror, so I naturally look at the mirror.

In ancient times, the production process of bronze mirrors was very complicated, and in order to obtain a mirror that could clearly reflect a person's face, it had to go through dozens or even hundreds of days of polishing to succeed. Because of this, there was such a profession as a mirror grinder in ancient times.

The mirror is very dull, and it can't be compared to modern glass mirrors at all, and I can only see my shadow vaguely. I looked at the mirror for more than ten seconds, and after making sure there was nothing wrong with it, I gently put the mirror back in the box, still facing down.

"Alright. He asked.

I nodded: "I've seen it." ”

"Tell me how you feel?" he asked again.

I couldn't help but frown because the mirror didn't make me feel anything. It's so ordinary, except for its condition, it's no more peculiar than those bronze mirrors in the Hero Mountain antique market. I didn't say it directly, though. Shen Jing is a strange person in the world, he put this bronze mirror in a box made of dragon descending wood, and before showing it to me, he repeatedly asked me how I felt. After such a complicated process, he came to ask me how I felt, and of course I couldn't answer casually.

"My biggest feeling is confusion. I replied in a low voice.

This sentence is ambiguous, because the word confusion can refer to both I don't understand what is in the bronze mirror and what I cannot comprehend after seeing what is in the bronze mirror.

I looked directly at the other person, trying to decipher the other person's expression to determine what he really wanted.

"So, you're not sure what's on the mirror?" he asked.

I thought to myself, "It's my face that's on the mirror, because I'm looking in the mirror." If I'm not sure what it is, why? Is it possible that when I look in the mirror, there will be other people in the mirror?"

This logical relationship was a bit confusing, and I didn't have time to continue to think deeply, but asked rhetorically: "Can you be sure? You brought the bronze mirror over and arranged for you to come, can you be sure?"

He shook his head: "No, all the questions you asked, there are no answers. ”

The conversation can't go on because we're not talking about the same thing.

So, I asked another question, and it was also a question that had to be asked: "Your Excellency is Mr. Shen Jing?"

He nodded.

"May I ask which immortal you were sent down?" I asked.

He let out a long sigh, "You know. ”

I remained silent and continued to ask: "Mr. Shen, forgive me for my ignorance, although I guessed, I still want to confirm it, otherwise I will always dare not be 100% sure in my heart." ”

According to my judgment, Shen Jing is from the north, and the big names in the north are all entrenched in the capital. At present, there is a big man from the capital in Jinan City-Yan Gexing.

"Hmph. Shen Jing regained his coldness, "Sure it's not sure, what's the difference?" We've already misjudged, so it doesn't seem necessary to say anything to you." ”

He leaned forward and took the box back with both hands. His expression was very disappointed.

I looked down at the coffee cup, and there was still a white thread stuck to the scoop. The name of that thing was Xue Yan Lingyi, a swallow character, which instantly reminded me.

I leaned back, held my head in my hands, and smiled faintly: "Mr. Shen, the seniors who sent you here are among the best people in the capital. If you reply to him like this, he will not be able to accept it. It struck me as strange that you had no faith in me at all. In the same way, others have no confidence in you, because others have never mentioned you, let alone said that you would go to Jinan City. Okay now, everyone's even, no matter what you think of me, I can take a second look at this bronze mirror and give you the answer you want. ”

If Xue Yanling is from the Yan family in the capital, then Shen Jing and Yan Gexing are a family. They did not rush all the way to Jinan, but arrived one after another, proving that they each had different tasks on their shoulders. Therefore, I can judge that the big man in their head does not believe in the abilities of the two of them, so they choose to let the two of them take on different tasks.

Shen Jing pondered, and was surrounded by my false and real words.

"If you look again, you can see the clue?" he asked.

I nodded: "It should be so." ”

He let out another long sigh and pushed the box back over.
