I collect cultural relics in the human world

Chapter 53 Dream Guest

"Brother Stone?"

Jiang Huai was originally confused because of Guan Zihe's unique identity. When he heard that there were more powerful people in Fan Yu's mouth, he completely forgot about the scars on his back. He even put aside matters that mattered to his own life and asked eagerly: " Is Brother Shitou also a monster in the team?"

Fan Yu shook his head and pondered for a long time, but did not speak.In the end, Qin Jian couldn't stand it anymore and urged: "Let's talk while we walk."

Unexpectedly, Fan Yu was unhappy.

"Uncle Qin, you are being unreasonable. You were the one who pulled everyone out to admire the moonlight first, but now it's me who is delaying it."

Before Qin Jian's attack, Jiang Huai remembered that everyone was busy with their own affairs tonight, and quickly tried to persuade him to make peace: "Mr. Qin is right, I was the one who was rude."

But Fan Yu was not a serious person, so he started to teach his little brother Jiang Huai.

"Brother Fan will teach you two more words today: when you come, don't miss it. It's an opportunity; when you go, you can't miss it. It's an opportunity. Another sentence: time is tight and the task is heavy. The ship will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge."

"Fan Chu teaches you right."

Qin Jian's cold voice came, and Fan Yu put away his cynical attitude, but he still refused to lower his voice and muttered in a low voice: "No, no, I don't dare."

As he spoke, he walked towards the pool, walked straight across the wall of the pool, and walked into the mirror-calm water.Then there was a splash, and Fan Yu's shoes and pants were all wet.

"Uncle Qin..." Fan Yu finally gave in, lowered his head to look at the water, then turned back and spread his hands, with a look of disbelief mixed with helplessness.

"What is this doing?"

Jiang Huai, who had never seen the Mirror Gallery, was full of doubts. Because of the filter he used for Fan Yu, after seeing this scene, he tried to think of many reasons for Fan Yu, but he still couldn't understand that Fan Yu was walking in the moonlight of this late autumn night. , why did they disperse all the way into the pool? Although the climate in Xia City is pleasant, it is still November after all. The pool water glows with an icy black color under the moonlight, making people want to shiver just looking at it.

"Brother Fan, shouldn't he be drinking too much?"

Jiang Huai finally chose this reason that was the most convincing to him.

I don't know whether he is stupid or Fan Yu is stupid, but he actually believed Fan Yu's super-metabolism rhetoric. He really thought that he would never get drunk after a thousand cups of wine. Fortunately...

Jiang Huai sighed. The only good thing now is that something happened in the car, which caused the unreliable Fan Yu to not be able to drive the car in the end.

Of course Jiang Huai didn't know what happened, but He Si knew the reason.

She looked at Lao Chaofeng, who looked like he had nothing to do with me, then looked at Jiang Huai, who looked confused, shocked, and regretful, and then looked at Fan Yu, who had no love left in her life. The entangled thoughts of the night disappeared, and she finally couldn't help but laugh.

After this smile, Lao Chaofeng's expression changed. He lowered his head slightly and asked, "Do you want to cross the pool?"

He Si had just entered the well today, and the taste was not wonderful. The sticky feeling left by the moss in her throat had not been completely shaken off until now. However, when she saw Fan Yu's pitiful eyes, she nodded compassionately.

"Stop seeking distance from the near."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Yu slowly sank into the pool and disappeared into thin air.Jiang Huai's eyes widened and he looked at everything in front of him in disbelief - Am I the one who drank too much?
"Let's go." He Si patted the popular young boy on the shoulder with some sympathy, "This is the Mirror Gallery, you can think of it as a portal."

"But this water?"

"The principle is the same. Anything that looks like a mirror is a door in front of Mr. Qin."

Before Jiang Huai had time to close his open mouth, his eyes were full of admiration when he heard this.

"Don't you want to try?"

Jiang Huai nodded, with eagerness to try in his eyes, and walked towards the cold pool of water without hesitation.

"Hey." Looking at Jiang Huai's figure disappearing into the pool, He Si couldn't help but sigh.

"Why are you sighing?"

"The Mirror Gallery is just the beginning. After tonight, his life will be completely overturned."

"I think he's quite adaptable," Lao Chaofeng asked casually, "What about you?"

"Me?" He Si didn't understand what she was thinking for a moment, and tilted her head to think seriously.

The warm moonlight in the dark night shone on He Si's face. Qin Jian suddenly found that as she thought, the girl's eyes in front of her were changing, becoming completely different from before.

A kind of eager light mixed with joy, excitement, temptation, confidence and even fearlessness glowed from her eyes, as well as a satisfied trust in herself. This was in great contrast to her previous introverted and withdrawn temperament.

The moment she learned that the spirit of cultural relics was causing trouble, the moment she said, "Even a mere nightmare wants to control me," the moment she used her name tag dream to defeat the enemy, the moment she held Song Ya back, the moment she held Song Ya back. The moment she stepped on someone's head... every moment she walked on the edge between illusion and reality, facing soul-shaking changes and crises but never giving up, this temperament was revealed bit by bit in her body.Lao Chaofeng felt that what really attracted him to He Si seemed not to be their old relationship from thousands of years ago, but to this unique lack of concern for one's own safety.

"I'm quite adaptable." He Si finally woke up from her memories. She confirmed her mind and nodded to Lao Chaofeng with satisfaction.

"Then let's go." Qin Jian held He Si's hand, no longer holding it in vain.

The water in the pool looks dark, but is actually very clear, just like the impression given by Guan Zihe, the owner of the castle.

The two stepped into the water. This time, there was no sticky moss rushing to their throats. After the biting coldness and the refreshing aroma of grass and trees, He Si saw Fan Yu and Jiang Huai who were already waiting for them.

Fan Yu was pouring water into his combat boots. When he saw the two people coming in, he nodded and bowed quickly.

He had a bad habit of trying to make up for the losses he suffered from Qin Jian, so he couldn't help but said: "Miss He, I've been waiting for you to come here. I want to discuss something with you. Can I help you?" Your little monkey calls out and bakes my shoes and socks?"

"It stinks so much that you will be poisoned to death." Before He Si could answer, the faint light escaped from her palm without waiting for a call and flew to the tip of Fan Yu's nose.

"Hey, what kind of close contact is this? I'm almost cross-eyed." Fan Yu was forced to back away as he spoke, complaining, "Learn from your master and maintain social distance in the human world."

"But I am from the underworld."

The little monkey told the truth and so confidently that even Fan Yu, who was always eloquent and sweet-tongued, was choked up.

"Miss He, you come to judge!"

It was the first time He Si saw Fan Yu being frustrated by someone other than Qin Jian, and she felt happy: "I think you two are quite compatible."

"That's right, the little monkey also has the spirit of cultural relics accumulated over thousands of years. Although he has only been awakened for a few days, he has been practicing for thousands of years. His cultural and artistic attainments and levels have always been there, so he and I should have something in common." Fan Yu didn't seem to understand He Si's teasing. He shook off his shoes and socks and praised himself while talking. He actually rounded off the topic again, "Isn't there a popular saying - the vocabulary is different, how to make friends, He Si Miss, are you right?"

He is indeed a talent, He Si truly admires him.

Although the person in front of her was ignorant, she always had an innocent heart. He Si smiled slightly and said, "It's too polite to always call me Miss He. From now on, please call me He Si."

Fan Yu heard the meaning of recognition in the extremely plain words. He changed his playful smile and became serious: "Okay, you are younger than me, how about you call me Brother Fan?"

"Aren't you afraid of disturbing the seniority?" Lao Chaofeng, who had been watching, interjected without knowing why. He Si then remembered that on the day they first met, Fan Yu seemed to want to call her Aunt He.At that time, she felt inexplicable, but now she thought of the wedding ceremony a few hours ago, and her mind was inexplicably agitated - this damn old court minister, no, that damn man.

"My main dream is to have Uncle Qin call me Brother Fan." Fan Yu caught the sentence again effortlessly as expected.Facing Qin Jian, he could be said to have suffered repeated defeats despite repeated defeats.

This time, even Lao Chaofeng, who always smiled informally, started laughing, leaving Jiang Huai alone looking at the three of them in confusion, with one sentence echoing in his mind - who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?
"Let's go, don't let little brother Jiang Huai wait." Fan Yu was in a good mood and took the lead as usual. He signaled Jiang Huai to follow him as he walked. He Si walked in third, and Lao Chaofeng walked in at last.

It was the third time that He Si walked in the mirror corridor that was constantly collapsing and reconstructing. He Si got used to it a lot. As Lao Chaofeng said, where the mind gathers and the foothold is focused, the focus of the eyes becomes more stable as the walk goes.

Jiang Huai, on the other hand, was knocked unconscious the last time he entered the Mirror Gallery. He was very regretful at first. He only thought that this magic door that shrank to an inch and was so far away was very magical, and he yearned for it.But I didn’t expect that I would have the opportunity to walk it myself so soon, and I certainly didn’t expect that it would be like this when I walked it again.

His legs and feet were weak, his ears were ringing and his eyes were dizzy, and his face was getting worse and worse. Just when he was wishing for someone to knock him out, he finally heard He Si's heavenly voice - it was here.

Great, Jiang Huai was no longer in the mood to observe the huge ancient mirror that suddenly appeared in front of him, and rushed out with all his last strength.The chill and the smell of blood reached his nose at the same time, and he woke up immediately - he did not expect that he would enter the secret room again in this way. Under the hidden light, everything was familiar yet strange.

His ears even echoed with the boast made by Director Huang Haiping at the dinner party that day - this program will definitely be a hit.

Unexpectedly, before the show was recorded, the people were no longer there.

Looking at it from another angle, what Director Huang said is indeed correct. There is a common saying in their industry that any crew that encounters supernatural events will surely explode the project.

Thinking wildly, Jiang Huai twitched the corners of his mouth and revealed a wry smile.

"It's the fake yard with the well, right?"

Although he only walked through it once, Fan Yu already knew the structure of the secret room. He was usually not upright, but he acted vigorously and immediately opened the door of the main secret room, which was decorated as a wedding room.

"and many more."

As soon as he took a step, He Si stopped him.Fan Yu turned around, with doubts and impatience in his expression.He Si seemed to have disappeared, pointing to the dressing table next to the wedding bed with her green fingers.

have something?
Fan Yu looked in the direction of his fingertips, his eyes resting on the mirror placed on the bride's dressing table, and he immediately guessed what he meant: "Aren't you going to go into the well? Where can you go in?"

Lao Chaofeng also understood He Xisi's meaning at this moment and asked: "What did you see? Is it a withered hand or a human head."

Jiang Huai felt his spine start to shiver again, but he heard He Xi said: "It's hair, the kind of hair I saw when I came here last time, it's gone in the mirror."

"I didn't expect it to be here waiting for us." Fan Yu smiled disdainfully, and the black dagger appeared in his hand.

"It's not us, it's you." Lao Chaofeng glanced at Jiang Huai intently, "I'm afraid it's waiting for you."

"Me?" Jiang Huai glanced at the mirror. He hadn't entered the Mirror Realm yet. He obviously misunderstood what Lao Chaofeng meant. He thought the people looking at the mirror were talking about the Mirror Gallery. He asked anxiously, "Someone came in with me." Gallery of Mirrors?”

Lao Chaofeng shook his head.

Fan Yu knew that Jiang Huai didn't notice, so he added: "The mirror was still in the mirror box when we came last time."

"Someone...or something..." Jiang Huai's scalp was numb and his mouth was frozen.

"I don't know. Since the mirror has been taken out, it saves us having to go around a lot. Please," Fan Yu turned around and grinned at Jiang Huai, "please be the one who puts you in the jar."

Jiang Huai sighed helplessly, but most of the fear that occupied his soul dissipated because of this half-true joke.

After a moment of trance, the sound of water came back again.

Jiang Huai looked at the drop of rock water falling on his palm with shock on his face.

In the cave is a wedding room with a big red word "Happiness" - red brocade curtains, golden embroidered bed sheets, auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes wetted by falling water on the rock, and the sweet smell of incense and rouge.All of this was exactly the same as the scene he constructed in his mind when he read the script.

"impossible……"

"what happened?"

As soon as Fan Yu finished speaking, he heard Lao Chaofeng say: "Sure enough, this is your dream."

"What, this is Jiang Huai's dream?" Fan Yu frowned in disbelief, and then his brows relaxed a little bit. Indeed, this sounds ridiculous, but it is the only possibility among all impossibilities - why is Jiang Huai in the secret room? Synesthesia appears in the film, why do scars appear on his back every time a corpse appears? Why, even though it has been determined that this cultural relic has nothing to do with human sacrifice, there are still clues from time to time showing the illusion of the River God marrying a bride to lure them into human sacrifice. The aspect of investigation-Jiang Huai's relationship with a series of events was connected through this dream.

This can only be his dream.

"Why...why?" Jiang Huai still couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Hey, cheer up, aren't we here just to find out the reason?" Fan Yu, the representative of the optimist faction, could no longer hold it in anymore and walked to the wedding room alone. As expected, he hit the invisible knot hard. world.

"What the hell?" He was startled and immediately took two steps back, holding the dagger in front of him and about to attack.

"Wait a minute," it was Lao Chaofeng who stopped him this time. Just like he said to He Si last time, he still raised his chin towards the wooden table behind him where the wedding clothes were placed, and said, "You can go in if you put it on." .”

"Want to wear wedding clothes?" Jiang Huai asked doubtfully before he woke up from the logical transition between dream and reality.

Fan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Brother Jiang Huai is still too young. If you can outwit him, why do you have to act recklessly?"

As he spoke, he turned back and walked towards the wooden table, but this time he walked cautiously, as if he was worried that the old emperor would trick him.It wasn't until he came to the wooden table that he picked up the wedding clothes and looked them over before continuing: "It's just one set, only enough for two people. What to do with the rest?"

"He Si and I have passed."

"Oh..." Fan Yu said it a thousand times, and then replied seriously, "I'm afraid I can't wear a bridal style with my figure. Brother Jiang Huai looks lean, so I'll leave it to you."

"Wait a minute." Before Jiang Huai could agree, Lao Chaofeng stopped him again.

"Uncle Qin, please tell me if you have any other instructions."

"The groom's level is not suitable for you."

"why?"

"The bride is a martial artist, the groom is a literary warrior."

"Wen Dou? Is it possible that we have to take a test on poetry, poetry, and poetry? Then I'm good at it."

"Brother Fan, your poem..."

Before Jiang Huai finished speaking, Lao Chaofeng replied: "It's a math problem."
