I rushed to bed as if fleeing and covered myself with a quilt. As soon as I closed my eyes, all the incised patterns I had seen with the magnifying glass suddenly appeared in my brain.
Those patterns were intertwined and woven, finally forming a strange face.
The face was Western-shaped, with protruding eyes, and it was clearly a bronze mask.
It kept smiling at me, getting closer and closer, and finally the mask stuck to my face.
I scratched it with my fingernails and scratched it with my hands, and tried everything I could to tear it off.
I even wanted to cut it with a knife, but even though the skin was bleeding, the bronze mask stayed with me as if it was growing in my flesh.
Oh my God, what should I do?
At this time, I couldn't stand it anymore and rushed out of the dormitory in panic. I wanted to ask for help from everyone, including Lao Jiang, Yin Linger, and Xia Tou...
But I found that each of their faces had turned into bronze masks, just like in nightmares. They stretched out their hands towards me and called: Li Jinglan, Li Jinglan.
They all wanted to catch me, and finally I struggled and screamed and climbed to the west building, trying to find the leader of Qilin.
In the darkness, his figure faced away from me.
"help me!"
"What the hell is this on my face? Please help me tear it off!"
However, the moment he turned around, I suddenly discovered that he was also wearing a bronze mask on his face. He said in a voice exactly like mine: "This is your face."
"Li Jinglan, you can't escape."
"Come to me!"
"This is your fate..."
I suddenly opened my eyes, and it turned out that everything just happened was a dream.
But I know very well that I can't sleep today no matter what, because the dream is more terrifying than reality!
I immediately closed the box containing the jade tightly and stuffed it into the closet. Then, as if asking for help from my ancestors, I held the book "Thirty-six Techniques for Moving Mountains and Reclaiming Seas" and kept reciting it silently. It seemed like this It can distract the inner fear.
But no matter how much I tried to control it, there was a voice inside me: What are the origins of these jade stones? Why does it affect me like this?
For the next two days, I didn't leave the dormitory, and was tightly imprisoned by the bronze monster dream.
But I couldn't sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, it was a terrifying scene in my dream!
I have insomnia.
Even like a madman, he will be terrified when he sees anything wet.
I threw the cup, the kettle, and even the basin out of the window.
But those bronze masks in my mind are like dog-skin plasters that I can't shake off no matter how hard I shake them off. They keep calling my name: "Li Jinglan..."
"Li Jinglan, go to the Yangtze River, which is our source and the end of the nightmare."
At this moment, I couldn't control it anymore. My body seemed to be possessed. I stood up like a puppet on strings and opened the door.
I'm going to find the Yangtze River.
Only by seeing the Yangtze River can I be freed!
This thought dominated me. Apart from this, I couldn't think of anything else. It was as if my body no longer belonged to me.
I don’t know if he sensed my strangeness, but the fur on the big tiger walking back and forth in the dormitory actually exploded at this time. It stood in front of me with eager eyes and kept making low roars, as if it had encountered something unprecedented. The enemies are average.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
At this moment, the door next door opened.
A pungent smell of tobacco filled the air. I don’t know why, but when I smelled this smell of tobacco, my originally hazy brain suddenly woke up, and a familiar face gradually appeared in front of me. It was a serious face. Old ginger!
"What were you doing just now?" Lao Jiang frowned and spoke solemnly.
I replied blankly: "I don't know. Hey, why am I in the corridor? Dahu, why are you here too?"
When I found myself in a foreign land, I was confused.
Lao Jiang looked gloomy and said, "It senses the death energy in you. If it weren't for this little guy, you would probably be in trouble today."
After saying that, he took out a silver needle and pricked it into my thumb. Just as I was about to cry out the pain, I saw that the blood squeezed out was black.
Of course, except for the first drop of blood, which is black, the rest of the blood is normally bright red.
Lao Jiang glanced at him and said, "Look, I caught this deathly aura."
I was so scared that I swallowed my saliva and asked, "What if I'm not caught?"
Lao Jiang was still in the mood to joke at this time: "Then you can play mahjong with those drowned cultural relic dealers."
"Let's go back to the dormitory!"
Lao Jiang grabbed me and walked to the dormitory.
On the way back, I couldn't help but tell Lao Jiang: "I suspect that those pieces of jade are from the same place as the jade unearthed from Yin Ruins, but try not to touch them, it's too evil..."
"In order not to see them, I stuffed them into the cabinet."
But then, I was so shocked by the scene in front of me that my mouth opened wide, because I could clearly see the box containing jade placed on the desk.
The box was empty, and all the jade pieces inside were neatly spread out on the table. They were actually put together into a strange ring-shaped pattern.
Even the missing parts and patterns that Lao Jiang mentioned before were all filled in with pencils.
Seeing this picture, I was shocked. I waved my hands repeatedly and said, "It's not me. I didn't do it. How can I have this ability?"
Lao Jiang glanced at me in confusion, touched his chin and said, "But I've been standing guard next door. No one has entered your room in the past two days, and you haven't gone out either."
"But it really wasn't me! I swear!"
After saying that, I raised three fingers.
Lao Jiang exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "I know it was caused by the thing attached to you!"
Facing the strange jade ring on the table, Lao Jiang took a photo without saying anything, and then found a professional tool to make a rubbing.
After that, we both began to seriously look at this strange object.
In the middle of this disk is a sun that radiates infinite light, and in the east, west, north, south, and west directions of the sun, there is a flying bird, as if it is rising into the sky with the sun on its back, illuminating all things.
Lao Jiang squinted his eyes and made a conclusion in one breath: "This is the sun bird ring!"
I was a little curious: "How do you know this bird is a sacred bird? What if I said it was a sparrow."
Lao Jiang pointed at the claws of each bird and smiled slightly: "Didn't you notice? Normal birds only have two claws, but these birds have three claws. In addition to the normal two feet, its abdomen also stretches out. One foot, what is this? This is the Golden Crow from Chinese mythology!”
