Cultural Relics Are Not To Be Messed With

Even though his ears were covered by the dragon's teeth and his whole body was pressed against his chest by the dragon's teeth, Qi Chen's ears buzzed for a while because of the sharp crackling sound of the illusion being shattered.

After a moment of dizzying motion sickness, the intense flames and the courtyard with an old locust tree disappeared completely.

The dark wooden floor and stairs of Li Zhengchang's house reappeared in the field of vision, and the black curtains that sealed the doors and windows were gone, completely receded.The overhead light in the living room that had been off after flashing for a few times before returned to normal and turned on again, filling the room with light.

At the foot of the wooden stairs, Li Zhengchang was still lying there, as if he was fast asleep, but just looking at that posture made him feel uncomfortable.

Long Ya lowered his head and patted Qi Chen's forehead and asked, "Are your ears still plugged? You still look half-dead in the illusion, and when you come out, the two tricks are all over the place! What are you looking at?"

In the illusion before, Qi Chen had a feeling that I was confused, you were confused, and everyone was confused, so some embarrassing things were "confused" by the trend.

Now the surrounding environment has suddenly become clearer. The window of which room in Li Zhengchang’s house is still open, and the cool wind blows in at night, making people’s minds sober. All the things that happened came back to his mind again, Qi Chen's reflex arc took several long roads, and finally came back to the end point - he began to feel a little inexplicably embarrassed.

Specifically, he looked through Lao Yuan's entire house and almost rolled his eyes out of their sockets, but he didn't look up at Longya.

The fundamental reason is that he still maintains the posture of coming out of the illusion - half-protected by Dragon Fang in his arms.But before that, he was overwhelmed by Longya, two mouthfuls.

Standing in this position, no matter how suddenly he thinks about those two breaths and the touch on his lips at that moment, Qi Chen can only feel his heart jumping, and even the tips of his ears are congested with blood, and the eardrums vibrate with the frequency of his heart...

He lamented in his heart with no expression on his face: the tinnitus doesn't need to get worse, it probably won't get better in a while.

Continuing to stay in this position, it is estimated that Long Ya will be able to feel how abnormal his heartbeat is in a while, so Qi Chen frantically swipes the bullet screen in his heart, but he talks about the topic calmly: "No block! Oh, I didn't play tricks around, I just wanted to see if Li Zhengchang was awake?"

Facts have proved how important it is to have someone who is responsible for laying guns next to you when chatting with Uncle Long!Especially when Uncle Long was already full of opinions on the person lying on the gun, the effect was immediate.

Seeing that Longya confirmed that Qi Chen was not dizzy, he let go of his dragon claws, squinted his eyes and strode towards Li Zhengchang. After looking him up and down, he raised his foot and kicked Li Zhengchang's calf: "Your surname is Li. You can wake up—"

It's a pity that Li Zhengchang was so dazzled that he couldn't wake up for a while. The whole person was shaken several times by Longya's toes, and he was kicked from lying on his side to lying on his back and then to lying on his side again. He didn't open his eyes. Eye.

Long Ya's patience was exhausted, he kicked and threatened: "I said, are you born of a pig? Can't you wake up after kicking like this? If you don't wake up again, I will kick you in the face! Don't blame me for not reminding you!"

As he said that, he turned his head and hooked his fingers at Qi Chen with a bandit look on his face, and made a commanding gesture: "Go and pour a glass of water, preferably boiling water."

Qi Chen glanced at his finger, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "What are you going to do..."

"Water it!" Long Ya looked like a bully possessed, and pointed at Li Zhengchang in a serious way: "I don't believe he can't wake up if you pour it on the key parts!"

"..." Qi Chenguang felt an inexplicable sense of pain when he heard these words, and hurried over, took the ancestor who was about to explode beside him, and patiently tossed and tossed for a while before waking Li Zhengchang up.

When he looked back and saw the regretful expression on Long Ya's face, Qi Chen suspected for a moment that this guy was doing it on purpose. There must be something in the pile of various talisman papers in the pouch that will work.

Li Zhengchang didn't know that he had escaped Longya's torture. After waking up, he was still dazed for a few minutes. He kept rubbing his temples with his hands and hammering his neck. .

Long Ya saw that he hadn't slowed down for a long time, and his patience was exhausted. He raised his foot and wanted to use the sole of his shoe to help him wake up from his dream, but Qi Chen quickly stopped him.

"What are you stopping me for?" Long Ya glanced sideways at Li Zhengchang, and said, "I saw him yawning and opening his mouth so wide that he wanted to stuff his shoes in!"

Agitated by his words, Li Zhengchang, who was about to open his mouth and yawn again, closed his mouth without hesitation, and finally woke up from his daze.The first thing he did after he came to his senses was to go up the stairs in two or three steps while holding on to the handrail, bent over there and fumbled for a while, then pointed to one of them, and said to Qi Chen and Long Ya who were downstairs: "And Here it comes! Look, three white petals of Sophora japonica, and a little watermark stepped on!"

"Your pair of tricks are really sharp! It's not easy to see the petals with big eyeballs, how rare!" Longya said "tsk tsk" and then taunted, "We female ghosts are all caught. After watching the drama for decades, you old man finally woke up, why don’t you hurry up and get out of here! I have something to ask you! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time! If you don’t hesitate, I’ll really pour boiling water on you. Do you believe me? Do not believe?!"

Qi Chen: "..."

Li Zhengchang probably believed it, because as soon as he heard Longya's words, he no longer entangled with the petals and watermarks, and immediately went downstairs, not daring to let the old man Longya look up at him. Wang Wang fumbled on the ground, touched his glasses and put the bridge of his nose back on, then stood in front of Long Ya and said, "According to what the expert said just now, the people who are causing trouble in my house... Uh, ghosts, you have already Got it? What questions does the expert have? Just ask! I will know everything and talk about everything!”

"The illusion has indeed been shattered by us, and I know what caused the trouble. As for catching—it hasn't started yet."

Hearing Long Ya's lingering words, Li Zhengchang's feet went limp, and he almost staggered. He widened his eyes behind the glasses, and said in surprise, "Have you started catching yet?"

Qi Chen was taken aback when he heard this. After all, he didn't understand the process of catching monsters and ghosts. When he came out of the illusion just now, he thought he was done. So the culprit hasn't been caught yet?But if you think about it carefully, it is true. In the illusion, Long Ya said that the basis of forming this illusion is the moment that was recorded. The light broke through this illusion, and if the carrier is not found, it will not be rooted.

"I'm just going to ask!" Long Ya said impatiently to Li Zhengchang, "I ask you, is there a painting in the collection of antiques you have collected? In the painting there is an old locust tree and A woman going downstairs."

When Li Zhengchang heard this description, he slapped his head: "Yes! Sophora tree! Yes! I have received such a painting, but the painting is damaged. I don't usually hang it out. I keep it in the cabinet and forget it for a while. gone."

After hearing this, Qi Chen asked, "Where did you get that painting?" In the final sea of ​​flames in the illusion, there was indeed a painting that was swept aside by the wind, and perhaps it was the only one that survived.

"The origin of this painting is actually not easy to say..." Li Zhengchang led the two upstairs, and explained: "When our community was built, some of the old houses that were demolished were from the Song and Ming Dynasties. , but those few rooms were too badly damaged, one was burnt, half of it collapsed, and the other half was also buried in a mess of dust, and the other few rooms were also dilapidated, and couldn’t be repaired. In short, at the end of the day, the developer still pushed the house away, but dug up such a painting in it during the push. This painting was transferred from the developer to a cultural relic dealer and then to me. A friend gave it to me after losing a bet."

Although Li Zhengchang didn't explain clearly, and no one mentioned the friend's name, Qi Chen still smelled a familiar smell from it——According to Li Zhengchang, Qi Chen's own analysis before was probably close to ten, and the scholar The original site of the courtyard where he lived was probably in this place, and Li Zhengchang, who lived on this land, got the painting by such a coincidence. This technique, no matter how it sounds, seems to be the habit of the person huddled in the locust tree. Way.

In other words, from the beginning to the end, it was a game set up by that person, just to lure them to fall into his trap and help him break the talisman array.

Qi Chen glanced at Longya, and sure enough, he also thought of this, and his face was already blackened.

Fortunately, Li Zhengchang didn't grind to death when Longya was furious. He went straight to the study, opened the cabinet door, found the simple framed painting inside, took it out and spread it on the table.

Sure enough, this is the one that the scholar originally painted, but the only surviving painting is only more than half, and the lower half was touched by the flames, and part of it was destroyed.

"Well, that's it!" Long Ya glanced at the painting, and said, "The scholar has too much obsession in the painting, and he has the foundation to become a master, but the person being painted died at a young age. But the painting that recorded her was burned again, and half of the only remaining one was burnt, and resentment naturally arose. There are attachments and resentments, and as soon as I am stimulated by my exquisite orb, it will start to make trouble. This painting--"

Before Long Ya could say the last part of his sentence, Li Zhengchang waved his hands without hesitation and said, "Experts, if you want it, take it. I can't afford to keep this painting."

"Well, you're smart!" Long Ya rolled up the painting, and said to Qi Chen, "Go back and find Hui Jia's bald donkey to settle the grievances above. You should make a phone call first and call Shan Xiao to deal with the aftermath."

Qi Chen silently lighted the wax for the team leader of the model worker Shan Xiao, then dialed the phone and talked briefly.

Shan Xiao had obviously gotten used to Longya's style of doing things, so he accepted his fate and said, "Well, it's easy, you wait for me, and go back together after we're done."

"Who wants to go back with you?" Long Ya was standing by Qi Chen's hand holding his mobile phone. After listening to it, he immediately grabbed the mobile phone and shouted: "You come and deal with it yourself. We don't have time to wait for you. There is still something else to do." , I'll take Qi Chen to Xishi."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Shan Xiao to answer.

Qi Chen took the phone and put it back in his pocket, and asked him with a puzzled look: "Xishi? Why are you going to Xishi? My home is in Xishi."

"Didn't you say that after this matter is over, let me tell you about your past life?" Long Ya took the rolled painting, flicked his wrist, put it into the treasure bag, and then picked up Qi Chen and went Walking outside, he said as he walked, "Since we are talking about the past life, it is natural to go to the place where you stayed in the previous life."

Qi Chen was even more puzzled: "I was also in Xishi in my previous life? Where?"

Long Ya let out a "hmm" and replied, "On the top of Mount Qu."
