Chapter 1: Dreams don't know the years
In the autumn of 2018, the heat in the air had just receded, and the gusts of autumn wind brought a hint of coolness.
In a bedroom in a community in Taizhou, Anhui Province, China
"Ahh Stretched out his hand to wipe the non-existent sweat, and muttered in his mouth: "No, sleeping during the day also forces me to follow dramas, which makes people not live." β
Chen Xing, male, 19 years old, just admitted to the Department of Archaeology of Huaxia University this year!
What can be seen is that you have seen a dream for more than ten years, even if you have chased it... No, it's a dream I've had for more than ten years!
But have you ever tried yourself in your dreams, always in a space full of purple gas, there is nothing in it, except for picking up some inexplicable and wonderful things, you can't dream about anything?
Okay, I'm even like you too, but it's hard to get used to it. But have you ever tried to suddenly feel like glass shattering in a place where you've lived for more than ten years? It's terrifying.
Chenxing rubbed his eyes and sighed: "I'll go, it's been more than ten years, I shouldn't have to have this inexplicable dream anymore." After all, it's gone. β
Thinking of this, I happily jumped out of bed, went to the bathroom to solve the hygiene problem, and was ready to start the day.
Maybe it's because Chenxing has had this dream since he was a child, so that he has been smarter than others since he was a child, and of course his grades or something are not a problem, (Well, in Chenxing's own words when he was a child, all the purple gas he ate in his dream was made up for his head.) As a young man, he also gave Purple Gas a secondary name: Super Invincible Clever Qi, haha).
But seriously, although it's a bit two, Chenxing's IQ is really beyond everyone's imagination
, I never need to study hard in school, and my grades are all among the best. If you weren't afraid of scaring others, you would be able to get a perfect score every time.
But a voice in the dark told him that doing so would be a problem, and he didn't want to be a guinea pig to contribute to the country, so he always kept his grades in the top ten in school, and just like that, he still got a provincial top when he was admitted to university.
Originally, with Chenxing's grades, he could choose a major that was good in the eyes of others.
To everyone's surprise, he hid from his parents and chose an unpopular major: archaeology.
For this choice, his mother He Ying and Chenxing had a cold war for a month, but in the end they couldn't change his choice.
In fact, Chenxing's choice of this major has an unknown secret.
When he was 12 years old, he once found in his sleep that in the pile of "garbage" he picked up in the purple space, there was actually a dark purple bead that followed him to reality with his awakening.
Although Chenxing was only eleven or twelve years old at that time, due to the impact of various fantasy and fairy tale novels and TV series, he didn't feel afraid.
Chenxing was also excited to think that he had obtained a fairy fate, and cautiously told himself in his heart that he couldn't tell anyone, and he was careful of "harboring his sins" (it can be seen that these novels and TV series are poisonous to children).
It's because Chenxing wants to figure out what this bead is, he has a lot of tossing, what blood to recognize the master, what Yuan Shen enters (well, just staring at the bead with wide eyes), and so on, but the fart is useless.
In desperation, I took it to my father, my father Chenwei opened an antique shop, and I heard that my son picked up a bead that I don't know what it was, and I didn't take it seriously, so I looked at it and told him, well!
Chenxing was speechless, of course he knew that this was not a glass bead, but even the father of the president of the Antique Association didn't know what it was, and what could he do!
You said that you should take a professional institution to test, forget it, he still remembers the "guilt", after all, he knows that the origin of the beads is a little weird.
Because of this, in order to figure out the secret of the beads, Chenxing gritted his teeth and applied for the Department of Archaeology of Huaxia University with a score of 699 in the college entrance examination.
"Jingle bell", just when Chenxing had just finished cleaning and wanted to go out for breakfast, the old-fashioned njy mobile phone rang.
Because of the concept of a poor father raising a child and a rich daughter, Chenxing's monthly pocket money is enough to make a bus or something, and even the mobile phone is an old-fashioned njy eliminated by his father.
"Fatty, why are you calling so early?" Chenxing called out unhappily.
The fat man is called Zhu Feng, Chenxing is small, because of his height of 169 and his weight of more than 200 pounds, he is affectionately called "Zhu Fatty" by everyone.
"Tatsuko, school will start in a few days, how about going out on a trip that says go. β
Chenxing rolled his eyes: "You don't know my economic situation, you carry me." β
"Hehe, you have won the college entrance examination, and your aunt hasn't supported you financially, in a word, Shennongjia, do you want to go?"
"I'm taking the exam, you're crazy, how many people are missing in that ghost place every year?
"Hehe, the more mysterious it is, the more attractive it is! Besides, our buddies are well equipped, so we don't dare to go anywhere. Zhu Fatzi said proudly.
"Okay! You cow batch, but my brother really can't go, I don't have money, in order to apply for the archaeology department, Lafayette cut my brother's pocket money, and now my brother will starve to death when he leaves home after eating. Chenxing said.
"It's okay, Xingzi, buddy has money, you just have to come here, you won't starve to death, but don't forget to talk to your uncle and aunt. β
After thinking about it for a while, there are more than 20 days left to leave school, and my father should support me when I go to play, so Chenxing said: "Okay, I'll talk to my parents and leave tomorrow morning." β
"Okay, then it's settled, bye-bye."
After hanging up the phone, Chenxing thought for a while, got up and put a few changes of clothes into his backpack, casually touched the unknown dark purple beads hanging on his chest, opened the door and walked out.
In the west city of Taizhou City, there is a pagoda that is said to be built when Master Xuanzang Tianzhu returned from the Tang Dynasty, and it is rumored that Master Xuanzang once preached here. In order to commemorate the mage shining like the stars, the local government named this tower the Star Tower.
In order to seek peace for one side, the people of later generations successively built a temple next to the tower, which was called: Xingchen Temple.
It's a pity that due to the wars of the past dynasties, the temple was destroyed in one fell swoop, which is embarrassing. But the strange thing is that although the temple is destroyed, but the Star Tower has always standing, without the slightest damage, there have been professionals to test, the tower body is made of materials but ordinary bluestone, it is difficult to imagine how it has been preserved to this day.
There is a street near the Star Tower, which is a place where antique lovers in Taizhou City often communicate with each other, and over time an antique street has been formed, at the door of an antique shop called Bo Gu Zhai, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old, but the face is very calm teenager is pushing the door into (don't ask me why the teenager will seem calm, if you are trapped in a place in your dream for more than ten years, it is not bad if you are not crazy, calm down, not very normal).
"Dad, is my mom back?" said Chenxing to a middle-aged man in his 50s who was reading a book behind the counter in the store.
"What's the matter, don't you think you messed with your mother enough?" said the middle-aged man Chen Wei lightly.
Chenxing scratched his head in embarrassment, and said depressedly: "How can it, isn't this fat man want to travel and let me accompany him, I always have to tell you, no?"
Father Chen smiled slightly: "Do you have any travel expenses?"
Chenxing became more and more embarrassed, "Dad, aren't you looking for your old support?"
Chen's father smiled, took out a bank card from the drawer and handed it to Chenxing, and said slowly: "Take it and use it, don't spend it indiscriminately, don't let your mother know, otherwise she will be angry again."
β
"Okay, then you're welcome. After speaking, the father and son looked at each other and smiled.
"By the way, where are you and Xiao Zhu going to play?" asked Chen's father.
"Shennongjia, the fat man wants to feel the mysterious humanistic atmosphere and the weight of history there, hehe. Chen Xing's mouth was half-true and half-false nonsense, he understood that if he said that he would go to Shennongjia to explore the secrets, his parents would definitely be worried.
"Oh, then you must not go inside, just play on the outside. Chen's father didn't care, he knew that although his son was not very old, he was still relatively stable.
"You know, don't worry!
"Oh, I'm going to the market with your aunt. Father Chen replied without raising his head.
Chen Mi, Xiao Chenxing's 12-year-old biological sister, if Chen Xing is the lowest level of the family, Chen Mi is the existence of the top of the gold tower, just like Chen Xing himself said, he may be sent by the phone bill, and it is the kind that is sent by the discount card, although the Chen family does not dare to say that it is rich and expensive, but it is also worth tens of millions, but Chen Xing has not exceeded 500 yuan since he was a child, but Chen Mi has not been more than 500 yuan since he was born, but Chen Mi has been like a natural little princess, what do you want, just like Chen's father said, daughter, of course you have to be rich, the little padded jacket of your parents, as for the son, directly ignoredγ
Thinking of this, Chenxing is very helpless, the saddest thing is that Chenxing himself is very sorry for his sister's baby, who makes the little guy not only look cute and cute, but also very sticky to his brother.
"Dad, if you help me talk to Mom, I'll go buy some things first. Chenxing said.
"Okay, when are you going?"
"I'll leave tomorrow morning, and I'm going to go to the fat man tonight to discuss the itinerary. Chenxing said.
"Well, go ahead and be safe yourself. Chen's father explained, "Don't go deep, it's easy to get into trouble." β
"Okay, Dad, don't worry!" Chenxing said. After speaking, he turned his head and walked out, just took two steps, and suddenly felt a heat in his chest, Chen Xing unexpectedly took out the purple beads hanging on his chest and looked at them, and found that there seemed to be a trace of fiery red on the surface of the beads.
Chenxing wondered: "This bead has not changed since it was brought out of the dream, what happened today." β
Turned his head and looked around, and did not find anything special, because the modern antique market is more than ninety percent of fakes, their own stores are not exempt from vulgarity, of course, civilization is said to be handicrafts, true and false by eyesight, to find the real thing, is your eyesight. When Chenxing saw a pile of things that seemed to have just been dug out of the soil, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Dad has a new product today?" asked Chenxing curiously.
