This is...where?
Li Ang looked around. This was an alley with high walls standing on both sides. Beyond the high wall, he could see the branches of trees covered with flowers and the blood-red sky that gave people an ominous foreboding.
"Dream?"
Li Ang lowered his head and glanced at himself. He was still wearing the clothes he wore during the day. At the end of the thin leather cord of the belt around his waist, there was a small decorative dagger and the ink-colored jade pendant.
It's not like a dream...
Li Ang stretched out his hand and touched the wall of the alley. The feeling of his fingers touching the rough bricks was so real and clear that it didn't look like a dream at all.
I seldom dream, let alone have such a real dream experience. At the same time, there is no mention in the teaching materials of the Academy that practicing Qi Sensing Realm will cause such a "lucid dream"-like experience.
'In other words, is it caused by aliens? '
Li Ang silently touched the ink jade pendant.
Jade Perry's talisman was written by the mountain chief and is said to be able to withstand an attack that could cause death.
Given the realm of the mountain leader, no monster should be able to harm him, but at this time, the black jade pendant still showed no reaction.
I don’t know if it’s because of the alien nature, or if it’s not life-threatening for the time being.
Li Ang circulated his spiritual veins, and the spiritual energy flowed through his body. The ink thread slightly pierced the skin of his palm and spread out in the palm. The back of the palm can always be covered if necessary.
At the same time, he drew out the dagger from his waist,
Zheng——
The short sword was unsheathed, and the lines on it were clearly visible. The tip of the blade reflected a strange light under the bloody sun.
Li Ang held the dagger tightly, bent slightly, pressed against the wall, and quietly walked out of the alley and onto the street.
'West Market? '
What appeared in front of him was Chang'an West City.
Liquors, restaurants, mansions, pawn shops, rice shops, jewelry shops, porcelain shops, everything is available.
Colorful flags embroidered with the names of each store fluttered in the wind.
There was only deathly silence, and not a single human figure was seen on the street, not even livestock, stray cats and dogs. Not even the chirping of insects or birds could be heard.
'If this is my own, controllable lucid dream, then let a Belaz-75601 open-pit mining truck equipped with a Cummins QSK78 special mining 3,500-horsepower engine appear here. '
Li Ang imagined something in his mind that was absolutely impossible in Yu State.
The big truck did not appear. Instead, there was a tall young man wearing a school uniform.
"Sunrise?"
"Brother Li?"
Li Ang looked at the young man who appeared across the street in surprise. His surname was Li Mingwei. He was the recommended student from the Ministry of War. He was from Lingzhou. In terms of age, he was actually about the same age as Li Ang.
It's just that he is too strong and looks too old.
"Ri Sheng, why are you here?"
Li Wei stepped forward and took the initiative to reveal the sword hidden under his sleeve, which could be drawn out at any time.
"I also want to ask this question."
Li Ang also walked forward. He suddenly realized something when he reached the general position, stopped and said, "Brother Li, the situation here is weird. How about you first tell me something that you and I both know, and then tell me something that you know but I don't." Things you know.”
"ah?"
Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that Li Ang was acting in accordance with the recommended guidelines for dealing with aliens in zoology. After thinking for a moment, he said: "The first thing, when I was taking the final exam in the academy, I smashed it hard. The wooden box made the back of the hand bleed.
The second thing is that I lived in the Academy, and the bed I slept on had a pattern of red peonies - my mother knitted it for me. "
Li Ang also said: "The first thing is that I checked the answers with He Fanshuang during the final exam in the academy.
The second thing is that today I went to Xuegong Patent Office to find Dr. Su Feng to register a patent. "
Both sides verified their identities, and each other breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Ang glanced at the dead street and asked: "Brother Li, are you the only one here? When did you find yourself here? What was your last memory before coming here?"
"My last memory is drinking with my colleagues from the Ministry of War at Yankangfang Restaurant. After getting drunk, I slept at the Yuelai Inn in Yankangfang."
Li Wei recalled something and said: "My colleagues in the military department are all my soldiers and officers of the border guard army. This time they returned to Chang'an to report on their duties. They also celebrated my admission to the Academy. They will not come back until they are drunk."
"My memory is of going home and lying in bed and going to sleep. It seems like we all came here in our sleep."
Li Ang groaned, looked around, and was about to say something, but Li Wei's face changed suddenly, and he unsheathed his sword with a clang, looked at the corner of the street, and shouted in a deep voice: "Come out!"
"Don't do it, Brother Li, it's me."
Yang Yu's voice came from the corner of the street. He walked sideways out of the corner and came to the street. He smiled bitterly at Li Ang and held his hands, "Sorry, I just came out of the alley and hid in the corner when I heard someone talking."
"Shichiro, are you there too?"
Li Ang frowned slightly and said, "Tell me one thing that you and I know and one thing that you know and I don't know."
"Well, you and I both know something... I failed the Yulu exam today?
As for what I know and what you don’t know..."
Yang Yu thought for a while and said awkwardly: "When I was a child, I was too playful. During the family ancestor worship gathering, I stuffed a few crotons into the meal. I poisoned several of my uncles.
Let them not hold back in front of the ancestral tablets.
My father thought someone was poisoning him, so he went to Chang'an County to report the case. Finally, he used a small dog to find out it was me - that was the closest I came to death. "
"...Fine."
You are a bastard day student - you can't hold back your filial piety.
After verifying their identities, the three of them stood together to discuss. What the three of them had in common was that they were similar in age, they were all freshmen in the academy, they all went to bed around Haizheng hour (ten o'clock in the evening), and all three of them had watched Jian Yue Theater during the day. play.
Li Wei went there yesterday morning, while Li Ang and Yang Yu went there in the afternoon.
"Is it caused by the Jian Yue Troupe? It shouldn't be. Even if the people of the Yu Kingdom want to enter Chang'an, they have to pass the inspection of the gate guards, the sniffing of the fine dogs, and the test of the city gate formation."
Yang Yu frowned and said, "What's more, for an organization like the Jian Yue Troupe that tours in various countries - if they want to rent a theater in Chang'an, they must go through more stringent review.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any dangerous aliens sneaking in. "
That's not necessarily the case.
Li Ang said silently in his heart that the silk threads in his body had not been detected by the formations at the Mingde Gate of Chang'an City, the Suzaku Gate of the Imperial City, the inner gate of the Imperial City, and even the Academy Gate.
Even Zhuxiao realm monks like Chen Danqiu and Xi Yangyu did not notice anything unusual.
Li Wei pursed his lips slightly and said: "The top priority now is to figure out the situation here. There are so many people who have watched the Jian Yue Troupe's performance during this period, there is no reason to only select a few of us. Unless this change is aimed at the Academy The disciples are here..."
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
The extremely miserable human voice sounded in the distance. The expressions of the three people changed suddenly and they looked towards the direction where the voice came from.
That's...West City Ditch.
