Chapter 5 Colin
After returning home, Chen Qing went to the old warehouse as soon as possible.
He didn't just pick up the ancient mirror, but started a new search, investigating every possible corner of the old warehouse.
When I was locked in the old warehouse before, I patronized and looked at the mirror, but I didn't carry out a thorough search, so I missed a lot of corners.
Chen Qing felt that perhaps there were many strange objects as strange as ancient mirrors hidden in those corners.
But what made him a little disappointed was that even if he even found the genealogy of his ancestors, he couldn't find any other special artifacts like ancient mirrors.
Although there are many things that are also old, they can't even reach the edge of antiques, and they are considered to be daily necessities that "record the traces of the times", and it is estimated that no one will buy them for ten dollars a dozen in the flea market.
As for the genealogy, Chen Qing also looked through it roughly, and found that this thing was purely used by the ancestors to paste gold for him.
If it is really according to the records on the genealogy, then the history of Chen Qing's family is estimated to be traced back to the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, or even earlier......
At that time, there was not even a written word, how could the history passed down by word of mouth be recorded so clearly. Besides, as far as Chen Qing knows, they have migrated to many places in the last two generations alone, and it is impossible to have this kind of continuous incense.
"This thing is going to die as a non-fiction novel."
Weighing the genealogy in his hand, Chen Qing's expression was a little disgusted: "And it's still the kind of weird novel that brags and doesn't make drafts." How can anyone write on his family tree that he once slashed the white snake with Gaozu and chased the ancestral dragon inheritance? ”
It's outrageous!
Throwing aside this genealogy that he thought could only be placed on the corner of the table, rubbing his hands, Chen Qing looked at the ancient mirror again.
He was now a little entangled in his heart, how to communicate with the people in the mirror.
First of all, I set a rather large tone before: "Lord of Truth", just listening to it makes people feel that it is an incomparably lofty and vast existence.
Such a name can allow Chen Qing to gain the respect of the other party in the early stage, no matter whether the other party believes it or not, at least the appearance of that coin means that the person in the mirror has indeed given respect.
And the problem brought by this is that if Chen Qing can't continue to show the ability to match his honorific title in the future, then the people in the mirror will have doubts sooner or later as long as they are not stupid.
Even if this process will go very slowly because of Chen Qing's particularly high tone of "Lord of Truth", as long as it takes a long time, Chen Qing will not be able to show anything, and he will definitely be questioned by the other party.
"So, two choices."
Taking a deep breath, Chen Qing whispered: "Either go fast-paced, grab a few strokes and leave, and then treat yourself as if you haven't seen the ancient mirror." ”
"Or, take the obscure and mysterious route, answer questions with questions, explain questions with questions, let the other party not understand the details, and let the other party build my image in their hearts."
There is almost no choice between these two directions.
Chen Qing always knew what he needed.
He wanted to use the supernatural power of this ancient mirror to help him heal as much as possible!
So the first method will not be used unless it is exhaustive.
Only by constantly exploring the truth of that world can we find the possibility of his recovery!
"Then the next question is clear."
His fingers unconsciously pointed to the table, and Chen Qing said to himself: "Where the other party is confused, I need to be silent; Where the other person comprehends, I need to disturb; Where the other person is surprised, I need to chase in. ”
Let the other party's thoughts be confused and let them make up for their own brains, this is Chen Qing's next plan!
It's the same as the "truth" in literature.
Truth has never been something that people can comprehend, but something that brings more confusion to people!
Temporarily laying the foundation for his follow-up plan, the corners of Chen Qing's mouth hooked up a smile.
"So the next step is to start trying to build."
He muttered to himself.
Then, with a slight bend of the fingers.
Immediately afterwards, he knocked on the ancient mirror in front of him with his white knuckles.
With a few dull "tuk-tuk" sounds, the mirror of the ancient mirror slowly but firmly moved with his will.
Like an ocean of fate stirred by an invisible hand.
And so on a few minutes later.
The entire mirror was once again covered in an inky shadow.
The distorted shadow and distorted voice, just like yesterday, echoed in Chen Qing's ears.
This strange sound doesn't sound very pleasant.
But at least, what echoed in Chen Qing's ears at this moment was what he rekindled...... Voice of Hope!
------------
Coren was wrapped in thick clothes and gritted his teeth as he walked on the icy snow-capped mountains.
"Wait, Jack, wait......"
He muttered to himself, "Brother is coming soon, I can find that thing right away, and then I can help you heal!" ”
As he spoke, he resisted the hurricane that seemed to cut his face open, and stepped heavily into the snow.
The weather was dark and gloomy, and even the sunlight became extremely dim. No ray of light could penetrate the snow-covered mountains, and everything was so gloomy and cold, so carved into Coren's heart.
"Ahem......"
Colin coughed as he recalled what the town's pharmacist had said.
"I can't cure your brother's illness. It's not just me, I guess there is no one in the entire 'Sith Federation' who can govern it. Only before the cataclysm, people at that time may have a way. ”
The news made Colin almost despair.
But fortunately, the pharmacist hesitated for a long time and showed him a clear way.
"You know the mountain at the door, right?"
"It's the mountain after it's been 'polluted,' and on that mountain, maybe there was something before the cataclysm," the doctor said. If you're trying your luck, that's probably the only way to do it. ”
Hearing this, Colin did not hesitate to pack his bags and prepare to go to the location mentioned by the doctor.
That mountain, before that legendary "cataclysm", was a small hill. However, with the drastic changes in the heavens and the spread of pollution, the mountain has gradually become taller. Even because of the power of pollution, this warm temperate mountain is covered with snow that does not melt all year round.
Because of this, only in that mountain can there be a way to save his brother!
Stumbling deeper into the snow, Coren gritted his teeth and finally lit an oil lamp that had been strapped to his chest.
It's also strange to say, even though it's icy and snowy, sleet, such a small kerosene lamp can actually light a faint fire. Even the wind and frost sword could not extinguish this small flame, and it was as tough as a strong grass that was low on a rainy day.
With this faint light, the blizzard around Colin gradually melted.
This is one of Colin's secrets - the "forbidden things" he obtained from an expedition somewhere.
The ability of this forbidden item is that as long as it is lit and stays within the light range of the oil lamp, it can temporarily resist ailments. However, it can only be resisted, not treated, and it is temporary, so Colin can't use it for his brother.
But it was able to allow Colin to climb the snowy mountains.
And now, with this light, Colin is walking deeper into the snow-capped mountains.
Time had lost its meaning at this moment, the lights were flickering, and Colin's every step seemed so heavy.
I don't know how long I walked, when the light of the oil lamp was almost burned out.
After that blizzard that seemed to be able to obscure the sky.
An old, dilapidated log cabin quietly appeared in front of Colin's eyes.
