I collect cultural relics in the human world

Looking at Fan Yu who was eager to try, Qin Jian still shook his head: "Whether it is him or not, that person's trump card is the little stone. Since he chose to take the little stone away at the critical moment, he has made enough plans. He We can gamble, but we can’t.”

"It sounds like not only that person has a plan, but Mr. Qin also has a plan." The Vampire Duke said calmly.

"The troops are divided into three groups. Doctor Guan still needs to be looked after by the Duke."

"It's up to you." Although he still didn't know what his mission was, the Duke of Argyle nodded with satisfaction to the arrangement.

The appearance that was originally caged in the shadows emerged, and He Si didn't really take a serious look at this legendary vampire duke until this moment - his skin color was like snow, his eyes were as dark as ink, and his three-dimensional face like a model didn't know if it was due to racial discrimination. Cheng, with a tall nose that is slightly curved from the tip, fits her stereotype of European handsome men.

Seeing He Si staring at him, Argyle's emotionless eyes turned to her and nodded. He Si was a little embarrassed and looked away, then she heard Qin Jian start arranging tasks.

"Then Song Zhaoxuan and Yuan Yuan will have to worry about you two. You have to be careful not to alert the snake."

"Teacher Qin, don't worry." Guan Zihe responded, but he was still worried, "It's just that there is no evidence at present, and we have no clue whether it is them. If these two people continue to be in the same state tonight, we will keep observing from the sidelines. Well, if they weren’t the ones who took away the little stone, wouldn’t they have wasted the most precious time at the beginning of the disappearance?”

Qin Jian had obviously considered Guan Zihe's worries. He still asked the Duke of Argyle, "I remember that the Duke has a camera that can capture the original appearance of things, right?"

"Mr. Qin is talking about the camera mounted on the Apollo moon landing spacecraft, right?" Duke Argyle paused and said expressionlessly, "It is indeed in my hand, but I was in a hurry this time and didn't Take it with you and ask my men to deliver it, I'm afraid it will take two more days."

"Then we'll be in trouble for both of you in these two days."

"I understand." Guan Zihe's expression remained unchanged, but his tone was obviously much more relaxed. Upon seeing this, Qin Jian began to arrange the next task.

"I wonder if Professor Jun is interested in going with Fan Yu to check if there are any new strange cases in the hospital recently, such as normal people suddenly falling into coma."

"Of course, I'm looking forward to cooperating with Fan Chu again." Jun Jiuzi smiled sarcastically, but Fan Yu grinned and made a face at Qin Jian.

Qin Jian just pretended that he couldn't see it, turned to He Si and said, "You are so sure, is the Guanyin sitting upside down that you see, the one in Zhengding Longxing Temple?"

"Yes, it's the colorful hanging statue of Guanyin sitting upside down in the Mani Hall of Longxing Temple." He Si nodded immediately. "Mr. Liang Sicheng called this Mani Hall the best in art in his book "History of Ancient Chinese Architecture" , overlapping and majestic, it is a unique example of ancient architecture in the world. I have repeatedly studied and studied it, and I will never be wrong.”

"It's so familiar, has Si ever seen it in person?"

"Been there," He Si still nodded: "Zhengding is known as the Museum of Ancient Chinese Architecture and Art. It is difficult for lovers of ancient architecture to miss this place. With nine floors, four towers and eight major temples, it almost completes the system of various ancient buildings since the late Tang Dynasty. The place is preserved and I have been there more than once.”

"Then this time, please ask Ah Si to be your tour guide and take me to see it together."

"Ah."

After the task assignment was over, Fan Yu's cell phone suddenly rang. He looked down at the screen and turned on the speakerphone.

"Director Deng, please speak."

"We have just repeatedly compared the scene of Xiao Shitou when he left, and found from his expression that when he left with Mr. Qin's stand-in, he should have known that the person in front of him was a fake."

After Deng Linchuan finished speaking, he originally thought that he had provided a very important clue, and the scene should be filled with surprises, but unexpectedly, there was only silence on the other end of the phone, and everyone was unusually calm.

"You all know?" Deng Linchuan couldn't believe that they found out earlier than him.

"I don't know," Fan Yu said honestly, "It's just that your discovery just confirms our conjecture."

"What guess?"

"The reason why Little Stone has never come back to us is most likely because he voluntarily fell asleep in a beautiful dream."

Deng Linchuan knew that he must have missed something and asked: "Another cultural relic?"

"What He Si just saw in the vision was Guanyin sitting upside down."

This time, the silent person was Deng Linchuan. After pondering for a long time, he said: "Is Guanyin sitting upside down in the Mani Hall of Longxing Temple?"

"Yes, but we don't know the specific form of the cultural relics yet. We plan to go to the site to see it first and ask Director Deng to help arrange it." The person who answered was Qin Jian, who assigned Deng Linchuan another task as usual.

"Okay," Deng Linchuan agreed, "keep in touch and pay attention to safety."

"Okay," Fan Yu hung up the phone and began to summarize with a wave of his hand: "The task has been decided and has been reported to Director Deng. Let's split up."

Guan Zihe and the Duke of Argyle walked out in silence even faster than Fan Yu's concluding remarks. As soon as he finished speaking, the two figures had disappeared by the door, one black and one white, both indifferent and quiet. Silent and perfectly matched.

"Hey, these two people..."

"Let's go." Before Fan Yu finished his complaint, Jun Jiuzi had already begun to urge him. He threw the car key back as he walked out, "You drive."

"Hey, yes." Fan Yu accepted the order and began to look forward to Jun Jiuzi's new car.

What Jun Jiuzi drove this time was not the Brabus in the desert, but a much lower-profile new energy vehicle. However, the doors were still eye-catching. They were eagle-wing doors. When they opened upward, they looked like an eagle spreading its wings. It was flashy. It's surprisingly consistent with Fan Yu's aesthetics.

"Uncle Qin, please buy a younger car next time. It's too old-fashioned."

The car key was spinning on Fan Yu's fingertips. As he spoke, he quickly left Boguzhai without waiting for Qin Jian's answer. The room that was occupied by six people just now suddenly became empty again.

"Let's go too."

"Um, us?"

He Si wanted to ask about their mode of transportation, but before the words came out, Qin Jian had already understood and said as he walked: "Fan Yu's car is left for Dr. Guan and the others in case of emergency. I have a car parked in the garage. In fact, I also know how to do it." Driving."     Qin Jian glanced at He Si with a smile before continuing: "I'll take my car to the airport in a while. Director Deng's plane is waiting for us there, and he has arranged the rest of the trip for us."

"I also want... to change my clothes." Although she knew that every second was crucial in the current situation, He Si couldn't help but make this request. She wore this suit of clothes to visit around. Although it was fast for a while, it would still slow them down in the end. journey.

"A change of casual clothes has been prepared on the plane."

"Director Deng is really considerate." He Si said casually, sat in the passenger seat obediently, fastened her seat belt, and waited for Qin Jian to start the engine. After waiting for a while, there was no movement, so she had to ask again, "What's the matter? I can't find it." Reached the keyhole?”

"I arranged it."

"what?"

"The casual clothes prepared on the plane were not arranged by Director Deng, but by me." Qin Jian said extremely seriously, but his eyes were fixed on the road ahead. Two orange lights pierced the darkness, and the car drove slowly into the night. An empty and lonely road.

"Have you not driven for a long, long time?" He Si asked suddenly and nonsensically just after the car drove out.

"What's wrong?" Qin Jian eased off the accelerator, thinking that he was driving too fast and she was worried.

"I was just wondering...if I chatted with you, would it disturb you while you were driving?"

"When did Ah Si talk to me so openly?" Qin Jian felt relieved, picked up the speed of the car again, and said to He Si by the way, "Just ask whatever you want to ask."

"Xiao Shitou...does he have a past that he can't get out of? I don't want to pry into his privacy, but judging from the experience of previous cases, that impostor is obviously very good at taking advantage of our emotional weaknesses, whether it is Zhou Qian, Lin Huan, Deng Lin or Zhu Bin, he all uses the softest and untouchable parts of their hearts as loopholes to tempt them to attack others and hurt themselves at the same time."

"Yeah, this is a problem that we have to face sooner or later. I originally wanted to tell you," Qin Jian didn't hide it. "I told you that the little stone was entrusted to me by an old friend to take care of it. Do you know who that old friend is?" ?”

"Are they dragons? Xiao Shitou's parents?"

"No," Qin Jian shook his head, "I have never met Xiao Shitou's parents. What's more, what you said are all ancient beasts that have long been lost in time, silent and invisible."

"That is?" He Si was full of doubts, and she really couldn't imagine who that old friend could be.

"Most of the things I deal with are cultural relics." Qin Jianxun asked, "Do you know about spine beasts?"

"Of course I know this," He Si pursed her lips, "my country's ancient buildings, especially palace buildings, are mostly civil structures, and the roof ridges are mostly made of wood covered tiles. In order to prevent the tiles on the eaves corners from slipping, people use Tile nails reinforce tiles and wood. The original simple nail caps gradually formed the images of various animals in the process of evolution and development, and even divided into grades. Are you talking about this kind of animal parts placed on the ridge of the roof? "

"I almost forgot Ah Si's major," Qin Jian sighed to himself, but he didn't look like he had really forgotten. He asked again, "Then Ah Si, tell me, what are the vertebrates?"

"The number of ridge beasts has also gone through a process of development. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, there was usually only one ridge beast on the eaves of buildings. By the Qing Dynasty, it gradually took shape, and the number and form were strictly regulated. At present, only the Tai Chi beast on ancient buildings There are ten kinds of vertebrate animals in Hedian." He Si thought for a while and replied, "One dragon, two phoenixes, three lions, seahorses, Pegasus, six fishes, Suan Ni, Xie Zhi and nine bullfights. The last one looks like a monkey, these are the ten animals. A little beast."

"Ah Si is so awesome."

Seeing that Qin Jian was still trying to pass him off, He Si became anxious and asked angrily: "So what? You haven't answered my question yet. Who is that old friend?"

"Actually, I have already said it," Qin Jian squinted at the road ahead, "but among the ridged beasts, Ah Si missed one."

"I missed one, it's impossible." He Si lowered her head and counted her fingers again, ten, no more and no less. She stared, "Qin Jian, are you kidding me?" .”

After finishing speaking, before Qin Jian could answer, He Si suddenly thought of something and opened her mouth wide, then asked uncertainly: "No way, is it the Immortal Riding Phoenix?"

Qin Jian's eyes that had been staring at the road couldn't help but drift to He Si's face. Seeing the incredible expression on her face, he felt really itchy and simply touched her head.

"Drive well," He Si immediately pushed away the dry and warm hand, but she couldn't let go of the previous question: "Isn't it the person I missed that was the leader of the Phoenix Riding Immortal?"

"Yes, the little stone was originally a spine beast." Qin Jian finally nodded, "The craftsman's uncanny workmanship, the essence of the sun and the moon of heaven and earth, the long baptism of time, and the spirit of the ancient beasts wandering in every corner of Chinese civilization. The spirit of Qi awakened Xiao Shitou's bloodline, transforming him from a ridged beast into a real Suanni."

"Then, what about the Phoenix Riding Immortal?"

"Disappeared," Qin Jian shook his head regretfully, "I also met him by chance when I was looking for a historical site. He stayed in a dilapidated mountain courtyard with double eaves along with Xiao Shitou and several severely damaged ridge beasts. Above, when he dreamed of me, it was already very worn. Little Stone called him Grandpa. He knew that he could not avoid the fate of being completely corroded by the wind, so he entrusted Little Stone to me before leaving. I... I was lonely, so I searched for fairy creatures with dragon energy to reshape the spirit of Xiao Shitou. He has always been very good, traveling with me all over the country, pursuing the secret of my life experience. He never told me, but I know that he must be very good. Nostalgic for the past.”

"You mean... Xiao Shitou's dream could be about spending time with the Phoenix Rider and other friends on the roof?"

"I think so, the memory of his first humanity, the time with his grandfather and friends, is also a time that he can never go back to."

"At such a young age, he has to experience life and death," He Si sighed softly, "Now that he can finally be reunited with his childhood playmates, we have to forcefully wake him up from his sweet dream. Little Shitou is so pitiful."

"No matter how beautiful the dream is, it is just a dream, just like A Si's dream. You get some false comfort, but what you lose is real love and respect. This is why you choose to wake up. And, I'm afraid that's not all. We don’t know what will happen after sleeping in a dream, the mirror will not last long, the little stone will understand us."

"I hope so." He Si tried to be interested.

"Let's go, we're here." The car stopped, Qin Jian got out of the car, held He Si's hand again, and walked towards the plane not far away, "When this matter is resolved, we will travel together Let’s travel north and south across famous mountains and rivers.”

"Okay," He Si thought for a while and added, "It's better to wait until your ability recovers and walk through the mirror corridor."

"Is not it good?"

"Ah?" He Si didn't expect Qin Jian to ask such a question. She was stunned for a moment and looked at the airport in the night.

The brightly lit terminal building quietly awaits the silence of the night, and the runway is like a strip of light, clear and hard. The grass and trees beside the runway are looming in the night. The roar of airplanes taking off is heard not far away, and the wings are flying low in the sky. Passing by, its light drew a dazzling arc, disappearing into the distant sky like a shooting star.

This is the starting point and the end point. At this moment, some people arrive and some people leave. Silence and prosperity blend here, and time and space intersect here. He Si rested her head on Qin Jian's shoulder, took a deep breath of the silent late night air, and finally replied: "It's pretty good too."
