Dream Legend

Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong went to the sea of ​​clouds in Yimeng Mountain and found two meteorites, one large and one small. Although meteorites are from outer space, they are national minerals and anyone who finds them must hand them over to the state, otherwise it is illegal. Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong knew this very well, but in order to activate the energy of the collar, they decided not to hand in the large meteorite for the time being and would hand it in after use. However, they had to hand in the small meteorite anyway and decided to hand it over to the city museum for collection.

The Municipal Museum is located at No. 108 Quxing Road. It has many national treasures, antiques and ancient paintings. The most eye-catching one is a painting by Tang Yin and Tang Bohu of the Ming Dynasty, "Ladies", with antique mounting and colorful colors. It seems to bring people back to the Tang Dynasty. Women in the Tang Dynasty regarded obesity as beauty, so the beauties in the "Ladies" are all very fat and cute. Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong walked in the museum, admiring these national treasures while walking. Seeing this ancient painting "Ladies", Wu Shandi teased Du Xiaoyong and said, "Look, the beauty in the painting looks very similar to Zhang Yan. It is estimated that Zhang Yan came from the Tang Palace. The big beauty is la la la." Deliberately dragging the word la, Du Xiaoyong knew that Wu Shandi was making fun of Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan was not tall and fat. Because she had always been secretly in love with Du Xiaoyong, Du Xiaoyong did not have any good feelings for her and refused to stay away from Zhang Yan. Du Xiaoyong smiled bitterly and said: "Captain Wu, if He Juan returned to the Tang Dynasty, she would be a school idol. Even the butcher would probably look down on her. See if you can still show off!" Wu Xiaoyong saw that he didn't get any advantage, and said to Du Xiaoyong angrily: "Let's get down to business and hand over this small meteorite, so that we don't have to carry it on our backs!" After that, the two came to the museum's office. They explained their purpose to the office staff. The staff quickly handled the handover procedures for them, weighed and took photos, and gave Wu Shandi a reward of yuan and a certificate.

Wu Shandi took the 10,000 yuan reward and said to Du Xiaoyong proudly: "Let's go for a walk on the street. I'll take you to eat a big piece of Yimeng Mountain pancake and a large plate of bachelor chicken. Let's eat enough today?" Du Xiaoyong shook his head and said: "The pancakes are the same. What's so delicious about them?" "You don't know this. The pancakes in Yimeng Mountain are different from those in other parts of the country. Our pancakes are made of our local wheat flour and miscellaneous grain flour, and we add local special ingredients and sauces. The taste of the pancakes is extraordinary. If you don't eat it, you can't experience the deliciousness of Yimeng Mountain pancakes. If you miss it, your trip to Yimeng Mountain will be in vain." Du Xiaoyong almost drooled when listening to Wu Shandi's introduction. Du Xiaoyong said quickly: "Captain Wu, stop talking so much, take me to buy some!" Wu Shandi pointed to the bend ahead and said to Du Xiaoyong: "There is a pancake stand just at the bend ahead, let's go!" Du Xiaoyong ate the Yimeng Mountain pancakes with big mouthfuls and praised them highly. Wu Shandi smiled and said: "I didn't lie to you, the Yimeng Mountain pancakes are really delicious."

Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong ate and walked around. The streets were bustling with people. There were people selling candied haws, pancakes, street vendors, and people singing Yimeng Mountain folk songs. All kinds of sounds intertwined together like a concerto. Not far ahead, there was an antique market. Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong felt that there was nothing to do, so they simply went to the antique market together to see if there was anything to buy. Du Xiaoyong was also quite knowledgeable about antique collection. The two walked through several stalls and did not find any valuable cultural relics. At this time, a middle-aged man came over and said to Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong: "What antiques do you two gentlemen want? I have all kinds of antiques in my shop." Du Xiaoyong looked at the middle-aged man and said to him: "Where is your shop? Let's go and have a look." The middle-aged man pointed to the shop on the left and said to Wu Shandi and the others: "It's there. Let's go together." The middle-aged man led the way in front. The two followed the middle-aged man to his shop. There were all kinds of antiques in the shop. At this time, the middle-aged man took out an ancient painting from the drawer and opened the scroll. It was a "Ladies' Picture" by Tang Yin and Tang Bohu of the Ming Dynasty. Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong looked at each other. Obviously, there was such a "Ladies' Picture" in the museum just now. It was obvious that this painting was a fake, and the one in the museum was a real painting. It seemed that the middle-aged man was selling fake paintings or fake antiques. Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong decided not to point it out to him first, to see how he would introduce it and how he could make the fake look real? The middle-aged man pointed to the signature on the painting and said, "Look, this is Tang Bohu's "Ladies' Portrait" in the Ming Dynasty. He is the first of the four great talents in Jiangnan during the Ming Dynasty. It is Tang Bohu's finest work and is priceless. Please enjoy it. The figure and face of the lady are painted seamlessly and vividly. What do you think?" Du Xiaoyong is an expert and can tell at a glance that it is a fake. There are obvious signs of aging. Du Xiaoyong pretended not to understand and asked, "Boss, how much does this "Ladies' Portrait" cost?" The middle-aged man said with a smile on his face, "Today we are all gathered here by fate. I will offer a preferential price of 22." "It's so expensive, how can we afford it? Let's take a look at other antiques." Du Xiaoyong replied, and then looked at some other antiques in the store. In fact, when Du Xiaoyong entered the store, he saw an ancient book on the table. The cover had long been rotten, but it recorded some strange contents that were worth studying. Du Xiaoyong judged that this ancient book was not only priceless, but also had multiple values ​​in studying gods and monsters. If you buy directly from the boss, he will definitely quote a high price. Du Xiaoyong kept silent for a long time and finally saw a replica sandalwood box that was just right for holding a large meteorite. He said to the boss: "Boss, how much is this sandalwood box?" The boss smiled and said: "You have a good eye. This sandalwood box is an old item from the Ming Dynasty. We are all destined to meet today. I'll give you a real price of 5000 yuan. How about it?" Wu Shandi walked over, took a look and said: "Such a broken wooden box costs 5000 yuan. It's robbery." The boss quickly replied: " Sir, this is an authentic sandalwood box from the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. I am also a straightforward and trustworthy person, and I never cheat anyone. I will reduce the price by 1000 yuan to 4000 yuan. That's quite nice, isn't it?" Du Xiaoyong nodded in agreement and said to the boss, "Okay, boss, you are really nice and righteous!" Seeing that Du Xiaoyong and Wu Shandi had taken the bait, the boss showed a cunning look in his eyes. Naturally, all this did not escape Du Xiaoyong's eyes. Du Xiaoyong deliberately took the wooden box and placed it on the ancient book he liked. After Wu Shandi settled the bill with the boss, Du Xiaoyong picked up the wooden box with both hands and opened it. "Boss, do you have any old newspapers or old books to make a cushion for the wooden box?" Du Xiaoyong said as he picked up the ancient book and said to the boss, "This rotten book will do, let's use this old book as a cushion." The boss was still immersed in the fact that he had just sold a fake to Wu Shandi and his friends and made them several thousand yuan, so he quickly replied, "Okay, you can use it as a cushion. They are all worthless things anyway." Du Xiaoyong picked up the ancient book and threw it into the wooden box, then said to the boss, "Boss, you are really trustworthy. Next time I will introduce a few friends to do business with you. We're leaving now, see you later!" After that, he and Wu Shandi walked out of the antique market.

Du Xiaoyong was delighted and said to Wu Shandi proudly: "Captain Wu, we found a great bargain today." Wu Shandi replied disapprovingly: "I think this broken wooden box is worth 300 yuan at most. I don't believe it can be worth 200 or yuan." Du Xiaoyong patted the wooden box and said: "It's good that this wooden box is worth yuan. That ancient book is priceless!" "Xiaoyong, are you serious? Is it so mysterious?" Wu Shandi couldn't believe his ears. Du Xiaoyong jumped up happily. He was not happy about the ancient book being priceless, but about the mystery of its content. Wu Shandi was also very excited when he found out. He took Du Xiaoyong's hand and said, "Let's go eat bachelor's chicken and have a few drinks to celebrate!" When Du Xiaoyong heard Wu Shandi talking about bachelor's chicken, he asked casually, "What bachelor's chicken? Is there any leftover chicken? What's that?" In fact, bachelor's chicken originated from the fried chicken shop opened by Fu Mou, which mainly cooks Mengshan roosters, and has a delicious taste and special flavor. Because all the staff of the fried chicken shop are men and the ingredients are all big roosters, they jokingly call this dish "bare chicken", that is, "bachelor's chicken". Wu Shandi had to popularize the origin of bachelor's chicken with Du Xiaoyong. As they talked, they came to the fried chicken shop unknowingly, ordered a bachelor's chicken, a cat scratching ear, a scrambled egg with green onions, and a pound of homemade white wine from Yimeng Mountain farmers.

Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong were so happy today that they drank a little too much. After eating and drinking, they were both a little drunk, stumbling on the road. The two of them were rushing home with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Suddenly, five burly men came out of the alley and blocked the way of Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong. Wu Shandi shouted at the five big men, "What are you doing? Come and have a few drinks, so you can go on your way." The big man walked up to Wu Shandi, pointed at him and said, "You kid, why are you pretending? I'm robbing today. I want money but not my life. Leave me money for the passage." Du Xiaoyong sobered up when he heard about the robbery, and came to the big man and said, "Brother, we are students. We don't have money. Let us go." The big man quickly took over and said, "Whatever is in your wooden box, we want it." Du Xiaoyong pretended to be scared and said, "There's nothing in it. You want the wooden box, I'll give it to you." After that, Du Xiaoyong opened the wooden box, took out the ancient book, and then put it on the ground. At this time, a big man came straight over to grab Du Xiaoyong's ancient book. He didn't get the ancient book, but was pushed back a few steps and fell to the ground. Wu Shandi had already activated the energy of his collar. When he saw a big man trying to steal Du Xiaoyong's ancient book, he had no choice but to activate the energy of his collar to attack the big man. How could the big man resist Wu Shandi's collar energy? He was knocked back to the ground by the energy. Seeing this, the other four big men rushed towards Du Xiaoyong and Wu Shandi. Wu Shandi activated the energy gently and then suddenly recovered the energy. The four big men fell forward, their mouths hitting the road surface, several of their teeth fell out, and they rolled on the ground in pain. Wu Shandi stepped on a big man and asked him, "What do you want to do? Why are you robbing us?" The big man said nothing. Du Xiaoyong kicked him from behind and said, "Will you tell me?" The big man still didn't say anything. Du Xiaoyong didn't waste time talking to him. He kicked him several times. The big man finally couldn't stand it anymore and begged, "Good man, stop it. I'll tell you, I'll tell you, the five of us are employed by an antique shop owner. As long as outsiders buy antiques in his antique shop, he will send us to follow and wait for an opportunity. "We are going to move to take back the antiques we have sold. We will rob them of their money but not their lives. I have told you everything I know. Please show some mercy!" Wu Shandi shouted, "You have done so many evil things. I will never let you off easily today. Your boss will be punished by law." The five big men burst into tears and begged for mercy from Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong, "We were confused for a moment. We have elderly parents and young children to take care of. Please let us go." Du Xiaoyong shook his head and dialed 110 to report the incident.

In a few minutes, the police arrived at the scene. Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong told the police that the antique shop owner was a fraudster who would send people to follow and snatch back antiques once they were sold. Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong led the police to the antique market and arrested the shop owner on the spot. The onlookers applauded. Some people do whatever it takes for money, some for profit, and some for fame, but in the end they still end up with nothing.

It was already 10 o'clock in the evening when Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong returned home. His father Wu Xiaojian smelled a lot of alcohol on Wu Shandi, so he couldn't help but nag him and warned Wu Shandi not to lead his classmate Du Xiaoyong astray. He thought that Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong went to the bar tonight, so he said that to Wu Shandi. Wu Shandi returned to the room and told Du Xiaoyong what his father had just said. Du Xiaoyong laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward. Du Xiaoyong took out the ancient book from his clothes. Wu Shandi asked in confusion: "Those cultural relics have been handed over, why do you still have this ancient book?" Du Xiaoyong blinked and said: "I am very interested in such ancient books. It won't be too late to hand it over after I finish reading it." Du Xiaoyong opened the ancient book and started reading. When he turned to a page, the collar drawn on it was exactly the same as Wu Shandi's. Du Xiaoyong felt that it was the collar worn by Wu Shandi, and the record on it was exactly the same as what the right protector Qingniao said. The only difference is the worm-shaped pattern engraved on the collar recorded in the ancient books. The ancient books say that the worm is a dragon, while the right guardian blue bird says it is a worm such as Doudan. No matter which statement is correct, the dragon is changeable, sometimes it is a dragon, sometimes it is a snake, sometimes it is a worm, and sometimes it is auspicious clouds. The ancient books also record that the black meteorite is the essence of the universe and can generate infinite energy. If there are utensils that can be used, it will generate huge energy. Energy is omnipotent. Such an explanation has a good guiding role for Du Xiaoyong and Wu Shandi who have just obtained the black meteorite. This ancient book is really amazing. I don’t know which master wrote it. It should be the work of a god. It is impossible for humans to have such vision and perspective.
