Chapter 617

"Knock, knock, knock …"

There was a knock on the door.

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

Fatso threw a few cans of beer that he had just found from a pile of empty cans on the bed and immediately went to open the door. However, when the door was opened, the person standing in front of Fatso was Zheng Long, the listener who had just had dinner with him.

Huh?

"What's wrong?" Zheng Long asked when he saw the surprised expression on Fatso's face.

"Nothing." Fatso was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Da Bai should have come up by now. "What's the matter?"

"The forum just sent a notice in the WeChat group, saying that tomorrow's event has been brought forward. Now they want us to go to the second floor to prepare. I live across from you, so when I come out, I want to ask you to come with me."

"Oh, okay, I didn't look at my phone just now."

Fatso walked back first, put his phone in his pocket, and walked to the elevator on the third floor with Zheng Long. There were already several listeners standing there. Obviously, everyone had received the news.

Some of them had a look of eagerness on their faces. Those who were eager should be adventurers. There were also some who had a look of worry on their faces. They should be worried about the sudden change of time.

After all, this was not the world of stories. At least for now, they were not in an absolute competitive relationship, so there was no need to deliberately put on a show.

After a while, the elevator came down. Everyone walked in and came out when they reached the second floor. At this time, there were more than 20 people standing in the narrow corridor on the second floor.

This was pretty much the entire audience that was invited to this event. This didn't mean that the influence of the audience forum was very strong. In fact, it was because the clues and information this time were very attractive. Even Qin Yang, who had been driving a taxi in Qinhuang Island, came to this event.

Mr. Lei stood at the forefront, and room 233 was two meters away. Liu Tao and Sun Hai, the two forum administrators, stood behind Mr. Lei.

Sun Hai lowered his head slightly. In fact, deep in his heart, he had a great desire for this door. As long as he could enter and advance to an advanced listener, he was 80% sure that he could succeed!

It was just that when he came down, Sun Hai saw Liu Tao standing together with Mr. Lei. He had hinted to Mr. Lei twice before, but Mr. Lei was unmoved. It was obvious that Mr. Lei didn't care about him, who hadn't become a high-level listener yet. He was also too lazy to invest in him or express his goodwill.

But now, Sun Hai was still worried about one thing. With so many senior listeners entering this place, what if someone really got lucky and obtained the artifact that might exist? What if the node eventually lost its effect and disappeared? What would he do then?

How long could he continue to suppress and not advance?

The array in front of the door was completely undamaged. This was what Mister Lei found most difficult to accept. The array that he had set up beforehand had actually been directly "trampled" by others.

It was really interesting.

A smile appeared at the corner of Mr. Lei's mouth. Mr. Lei was not sure about the reason for the formation of this node and whether the special celestial artifact really existed in it. But now Mr. Lei could admit that he was full of curiosity about the inside, but he could not go in. This was his biggest regret.

With a wave of his hand, the door slowly opened by itself. Mr. Lei removed all the arrays here and motioned to Liu Tao and Sun Hai beside him to arrange people to go in.

"This room is the node?" Fatso was a little puzzled. He had actually seen some clues before. After all, he was also a master of arrays. Mr. Lei took the initiative to remove the array before.

One by one, the senior listeners began to walk into this room. Basically, after crossing the line of the door, they disappeared.

"F * ck, why does it feel like Harry Potter?" Fatso stuck out his tongue. When it was his turn and he passed by Mr. Lei, Fatso nodded and bowed to Mr. Lei. "Mr. Lei, it's an honor to meet you. I also like to study arrays. I hope I can ask you for advice in the future."

"Zhang Bayi." Mr. Lei said Fatso's name, which was enough to show that Fatso's reputation as a "social butterfly" in the audience circle had spread far and wide.

"It's me, it's me."

After the greeting, Fatso did not say anything more and carefully walked into the room.

When the rest of the seniors, including Liu Tao himself, also entered the room, Sun Hai, who was standing outside, clenched and unclenched his fists several times. Obviously, he was struggling and hesitating. However, Mr. Lei's eyes had been falling on him intentionally or unintentionally, and the meaning of warning was very obvious.

Taking a deep breath, the rest of the people went in, leaving only Mr. Lei and Sun Hai outside.

"Mr. Lei, do you want to guard here, or do you want me to guard here?" Sun Hai seemed to have completely let go of everything.

"Sun Hai."

"I'm here."

Mr. Lei looked at Sun Hai with some complicated feelings, and then shook his head. "Let's go to have some supper together."

"Okay."

Sun Hai walked to the front and pressed the elevator door.

"It's for your own good that I don't let you in. Why do you have to help others?" Mr. Lei did not say these words, because he could not say it.

…

"Then I'll ask you again. What's your name?"

"My name is … Lychee."

However, when Su Bai turned his head, he found that he could not find the girl, the man, and the woman at all. The fruit stall owner was waving a cattail leaf fan, sitting on a rattan chair and drinking herbal tea, as if everything that happened before was just an auditory hallucination.

However, Su Bai knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to have an auditory hallucination. Why did the man, the woman, and the little girl disappear now? It might be related to his environment. Moreover, the reason why he could see and hear that scene was probably directly related to him. Perhaps it was because he had the blood of the man and the woman in his body, so when he came here, the scene of the man and the woman appearing here would appear?

At this time, Su Bai did not know that in the information sent to the invited listeners on the forum, it was written that a low-level Taoist enhanced listener had seen his long-dead grandmother in this node. Now, the inference that Su Bai got was just a possibility that Su Bai had speculated, but it was really infinitely close to the correct answer.

This street was still the same street, bustling with people, but Su Bai was a little confused. How could he get out of this environment? Or, to think about it from another perspective, what could he gain in this environment?

The nature of the listeners was profit-seeking, no different from a bloodthirsty wolf.

"Lei Gong Tai Chi is recruiting disciples!"

"Lei Gong Tai Chi is recruiting disciples!"

"Lei Gong Tai Chi is recruiting disciples!"

There was a martial arts club on the street, which happened to be opening today. Some people were performing lion dance, and there were also several men in long robes performing Tai Chi. In the middle of the club, there was a fat middle-aged man sitting on an armchair. He should be the so-called leader of Lei Gong Tai Chi.

Guangdong was close to Hong Kong and Macao. In addition, the wave of the Red Revolution did not really sweep here, so many things in this area still retained the original flavor. For example, the treatment of Fengshui Masters and Wushu Masters here was obviously much better than in other places in the mainland.

Su Bai was not interested in this. In fact, his eyes fell directly on a small shop on the side of the martial arts club, which should be an antique shop.

In 1993, it had been a few years since the reform and opening up. In today's China, the antique industry naturally began to flourish with the liberalization of the market policy.

Of course, Su Bai was not an antique lover. Although he did come into contact with a lot of antiques, it was also because of his previous identity. It was difficult for him not to come into contact with antiques. What really attracted Su Bai was actually the two yellow plaques in front of the antique shop, which were a pair of couplets.

"Where do you come from today?"

"Where will I go in the future?"

The plaque was like a jingle, but for Su Bai, it had a special feeling, as if it was talking about himself, or the current situation.

Su Bai did not know whether it was his own psychological effect or just a coincidence, but in the current situation, he naturally had to go and have a look first.

The shop was very small, and a lot of space was squeezed by the martial arts club next door. When Su Bai entered, he saw a young man in a wheelchair reading a book inside. Seeing that there was a guest, the man put down the book in his hand and turned the wheelchair to approach Su Bai.

"What do you want to see?"

"What do you have here?" Su Bai asked.

"Since ancient times," the man said.

"You talk big." Su Bai chuckled. The man in the wheelchair gave him a very chuunibyou feeling, as if he was similar to those otakus living in the two-dimensional world in the future. In particular, his tone of voice and demeanor were full of confidence.

The man smiled slightly, reached out to pick up a wooden box among the bottles and cans at his feet, opened the wooden box and asked,

"Do you want to see the past first, or the future first?"

"Isn't the antique shop selling things from the past?" Su Bai asked rhetorically.

"But the people who come to buy may be from the future," the man in the wheelchair said casually.

However, when he said this, Su Bai immediately put away all his contempt. Could this still be explained as a chuunibyou or a coincidence?

The plaque at the door, and the words of this childish shop owner, could there be such a coincidence?

"There is something engraved on it: Receive the mandate of heaven, live long and prosper."

"Do you mean the Imperial Jade Seal?"

"Look."

The man took out a square object wrapped in silk from the wooden box and threw it directly to Su Bai.

But when it fell into Su Bai's hands, there was only a white cloth left, and the square object had disappeared.

"What does this mean?" Su Bai held the white handkerchief in his hand and was puzzled. "The antique shop became a magic shop?"

The man's fingers began to tremble, and he stared at Su Bai with a touch of disbelief.

"You … you … you have seen the real Ancestral Dragon Seal?"
