The scorching sun is like a fire, and the sun is like a curtain of water, washing the earth. The hustle and bustle of the city is gilded with luxurious and natural Phnom Penh, and the traffic is full of people. A beautiful and harmonious place, full of vitality.

Winding streets and alleys. In that corner where the sun can't reach, there is a retro market that has been washed over the years and is rarely known. It is cold and quiet, and there are few people.

In the quiet Tuju shop, Qiao Yu's face was full of interest, scanning the ancient books in front of him, and his eyes showed a strong look of excitement. His weak-crowned young figure looks particularly unusual here.

Ignoring the surprised expressions of the people around him, he took a few ancient books and walked to the old counter where the cracks were coiled. Behind the counter, there was a faint "squeak" sound of the chair legs rubbing against the ground, and on this old chair, leaning on a sixty-year-old man.

The old man had wrinkled cheeks and wore a pair of dark sunglasses that made it almost impossible to see his face. Holding an old-fashioned radio in his arms, his body swayed leisurely with the feet of the chair. Looking at it like this, I'm afraid that if someone takes care of it, he won't notice it.

But after the experience of dealing with each other a few times, Qiao Yu knew that this old man was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

"It's Xiaoyu, every time you little guy comes over, you have to go through my ancient books one by one, if this continues, my business will not be good, old man. As soon as he put the ancient books on the counter, before Qiao Yu could speak, the old gentleman's slightly ridiculous tone came out of the back of the stage without a trace.

"Who is called the old gentleman, the ancient books here are more incisive than those from other places, just like these books, the kid can't help but want to feast his eyes. Qiao Yu sighed helplessly.

The old man also knew Qiao Yu. This son has the ability to never forget, but he has read a lot of good books for nothing. However, in the end, he would pick a few slightly more expensive books and buy them, which made him helpless.

Between the two of them, it is like a family routine, and occasionally talking about strange secrets that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, they are all happy and free, without any age barrier, which is indeed a little unimaginable.

Just as the old man was waiting for the old man to count, Qiao Yu's eyes as deep as an ancient well were swept by casually. Then, suddenly, he stopped in front of the counter, and a slight light flashed in his eyes.

On the old man's right hand, there should have been a bronze ancient lamp, but at this moment, it was replaced by a wooden box. The lid of the box was open, and on the cloth silk in the middle, there was a ruby with a strange shape.

With his in-depth study of gemstones, extraordinary understanding and interest, Qiao Yu immediately took a closer look at this strange thing. It is about the size of a tomato, the shape is like a water droplet, there is no carving trace, just like nature, but its plastid body is like a gemstone, the structure is like crystal, and the color quality is more jade.

If you know a little bit about the door, you can see at a glance that something is wrong. Because, in any case, the formation of this gem is illogical, and it is something that makes people feel inexplicably wonderful.

For a while, Qiao Yu's entire line of sight was already drawn by this gem. In the meantime, there are occasional flashes in his pupils, but he is inexplicably lost, and after a while, his cheeks are full of sadness.

At this time, the old man who had counted the books glanced at Qiao Yu without a trace of his eyes under his sunglasses. When he saw his eyes staring intently at his right hand, the corners of his mouth squirmed slightly, and an extremely unnatural smile was squeezed out.

"Little guy, this crystal is not an ordinary crystal, old man, I have lived so long that I can't see a clue, you only need to give a hundred yuan, how about giving you a good look?"

"Is this really crystal?" Qiao Yu heard this, a strange flash suddenly flashed in his eyes, he hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't help but be curious, and handed over a big bill, "Here, I really want to take a closer look." ”

However, as soon as this thing was in hand, there was a strange and piercing cold, like a needle and thread, penetrating through the palm of the hand. In an instant, it has surged all over the body along the meridians, and the entire internal organs seem to be covered and solidified by frost and cold at this moment.

This sudden feeling of strangeness made Qiao Yu, who was originally plain, frown.

"Don't panic, I felt the same way the first time I touched this thing, and it was fine. The old man's indifferent words, to Qiao Yu's ears at this moment, really aroused the tension in his heart.

Because this strange feeling is not as soon as it is said.

In just half a minute, the chill to the bones suddenly changed and turned into a blazing flame breath, like a wave of fire, swirling in the body. Everywhere he passed, it was like a flame burning, and the scorching pain was endless.

In the blink of an eye, Qiao Yu was already red. This is the first time he has encountered such a strange thing, how can he not be afraid.

probably sensed that something was wrong with Qiao Yu. The old man's face changed, and he was about to get up, but he saw the former roar violently, and his face struggled in pain, and then he took off the red crystal and still came out.

Then, the abnormalities on Qiao Yu's body also disappeared rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it was completely restored. Looking at the hot red scar remaining on the palm of his right hand, Qiao Yuyu's shocked cheeks couldn't help twitching slightly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the scene just now had already made the old man dumbfounded, and he hurriedly leaned over to pick up the red crystal that fell under the table, and said angrily: "You damn little thing, old man, I kindly borrowed you to see my baby, but you destroyed me, I'm really angry, my baby......"

After softening his emotions for a while, and after stabilizing, Qiao Yu turned around and left without looking back.

On the way home, Qiao Yu was always restless, always feeling that something strange would happen.

After the red crystal was acquired, it brought not only the first touch, but also the spiritual impact. It was a strange feeling, as if something was deeply engraved in my mind at that moment, but I didn't know what it was.

When he returned home, Qiao Yu immediately washed his face, and the residual shock in his heart still did not completely dissipate.

Midnight, very quiet, but a sleepless night.

Qiao Yu, for as long as he can remember, has realized that he has a unique ability to control dreams!

This is his secret that no one knows, and by using this unique ability, he has mastered astronomy, geography, and the secret of wonders, and is knowledgeable in the past and present at the age of twenty.

And this ability also makes its sleep ability beyond ordinary people, waking up from deep sleep, and retracting freely.

But today, for the first time in history, he faced the problem of insomnia.

Between tossing and turning, unconsciously glancing at the burned right palm, Qiao Yu found that at some point, the burn scar had completely disappeared, as if it had never existed.

This bizarre situation has caused a series of deeper doubts to linger in his mind.

Under the torture of all kinds of complex emotions, Qiao Yu wanted to fall asleep according to the routine. However, the usual signs of failure are repeated. I don't know how many failures I have experienced, Qiao Yu, who has vaguely found some feelings, is about to watch the screen and fall asleep. In my head, there was a sudden violent shock, as if a real earthquake was playing out in my mind.

At this moment, Qiao Yu felt as if he had encountered the most incredible thing in the world.

The whole brain hurts like a pinprick in a pin. The sharp humming sound was incessant, and under the high-pitched and ever-increasing brain ringing, all nervous thoughts were ignited like a fuse, and fear suddenly rose.

The spiritual world seems to be falling apart, and the threat of death is quietly coming.

All this shock, in the end, was buried and blank with severe pain. It was like the head couldn't stand the load, and it exploded and took away all the workings of consciousness.

I don't know when, a sudden feeling of dull pain on the body made Qiao Yu's consciousness suddenly, like a lightning strike. Suddenly he trembled, and then he came to his senses with great clarity.

Immediately afterwards, with the feeling of oppression brought by the bursts of squeezing, Qiao Yu felt that he was about to lose his breath. At the same time, a woman's voice was subtle: "Hard, hard!"

Although he couldn't understand these words, the fact that he was in a fetal situation made him vaguely guess something. It's just that all this makes him feel extremely absurd.

However, under his calm thoughts, he suddenly remembered the mysterious red crystal. The one that had caused him to experience a strange situation that he had never experienced before, something he didn't know what it was.

The pain caused by suffocation and squeezing did not bring Qiao Yu too long to suppress. Because he didn't last long, he was already confused. I don't know how long later, when a breath of fresh air poured into his nostrils, and in an instant, his consciousness was awakened by an electric shock again.

All of a sudden, all the pain and depression disappeared, and in exchange for it, a cool breath spread all over the body.

Qiao Yu was so powerless to be picked up rudely by a pair of thick hands, and was immediately wrapped in a layer of bedding.

"Little one, you're crying. The owner of these thick hands was a middle-aged woman with a pockmarked face, looking at Qiao Yu with an evil smile in her eyes, and her fingers moved under the futon without a trace, which was a fierce pinch.

"Wow!" the clear sound of a baby sounded, and suddenly, the door was pushed open, one big and one small, and two figures rushed in, seemingly a father and daughter.

The middle-aged man went straight to the couch and held the jade hand of the beautiful woman lying on the couch tightly, and there were hidden tears in his eyes. After comforting the beautiful woman, he hurriedly rushed to Qiao Yu's side.

At this moment, Qiao Yu was being held tightly in the arms of the little girl. Looking at the small villain in her arms, the girl felt an inexplicable strange feeling in her innocent heart for a while.

Hurriedly stepped forward, and the excitement on the middle-aged man's face was extremely strong. After a while, there was a burst of wild doting, and with that broad arm tightly embraced, it all poured on Qiao Yu.

In fact, the most depressed is Qiao Yu. First he was so stuffy that he was about to lose his breath, and then he was finally freed, but he was inexplicably pinched by a crazy woman, and now, he was hugged so tightly.

However, this kind of doting family affection that is held in someone's arms is also something that Qiao Yu, who is an orphan, has never enjoyed. In it, he felt warmth like never before.

For this bizarre experience, Qiao Yu didn't seem too shocked, but he was just born, and because he was very weak, he quickly fell asleep.

In the mist, consciousness gradually woke up in a chaotic situation.

When Qiao Yu was completely awake, he was surprised to find that he was in a realm full of colorful colors, seemingly ethereal, and chaotic. On the other hand, when he looked at his body, he found that he was just a round halo at the moment.

This feeling is very much like the experience of controlling dreams for the first time in the past. However, Qiao Yu knew that he could not control everything in this area as freely as before.

In contrast, this situation at this moment was no less strange than the strange thing that the mysterious red crystal had caused.

"Red Crystal!"

As if thinking of something, Qiao Yu subconsciously raised his head for some reason, but was surprised to find that in the void above his head, a red crystal like a drop of blood was quietly suspended.

As if it were the same red crystal as before. However, there is a faint difference in that it looks more active, like real blood. The slightest blood-red breath, ethereal surrounding, full of mystery.

Look at the red crystal. Qiao Yu's mind moved slightly, and he saw that in the center of the crystal, the gossamer-like blood qi gradually converged into strange lines under the drive of his thoughts.

Looking at this strange scene, Qiao Yu's pupils suddenly contracted, staring at the changes in blood and qi. At the end, the bloodshot was completely condensed and formed, and a few large blood-colored characters flashing red appeared in the crystal.

"The bloodline of the god master, only those who are destined to get it, can inherit it to the sky!"

A simple sentence composed of Chinese characters is like an initiation, which makes Qiao Yu completely awaken.
