Magic City, City God's Temple, antique street.
Guyunxuan is a time-honored antique store. It mainly deals in imitation porcelain handicrafts from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Because it takes a high-quality route and the reputation resources accumulated by the boss over the years, this old store is doing well.
Li Mo walked into this old shop and saw a thin middle-aged man writing with a pen. He approached without interrupting, but stood aside and watched quietly. His strokes were smooth, agile and fast, and his handwriting was thin and strong.
A moment later, the middle-aged man withdrew his last stroke. He felt a huge loss of energy and energy. He wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, looked at his masterpiece and said with a smile: "How about it, can it still catch your eyes?"
"The strokes are thin and hard, and the brushwork is exposed. They are even thinner without losing their body. Master, you have imitated the original thin gold style charm of Song Huizong by seven to eight points. The past two years have really made great progress in calligraphy." Li Mo applauded and said, "But this thing takes too much energy. You still need to pay more attention to your body."
"My calligraphy level is only at this level. It's almost impossible to go further. Come and make tea over there. Master and apprentice have not seen each other for several days. Let's have a drink later."
The middle-aged man is Yanaguan Qing, Gu Yunxuan's boss. He came to Shanghai to work hard more than 20 years ago. Although he did not make a fortune, his life was very comfortable.
"Master, this is a rare time for me to come and you don't want to take out Mingqian Biluochun. You are getting more and more stingy."
"Mingqian tea is as expensive as gold, and I only have a small amount in stock. When did your taste become so tricky? You don't even like Yuqian tea, Xinyang Maojian. You don't drink it. You just sit and wait on it."
"Drink!" Li Mo quickly said with a smile, "It's only May and it's so sultry. I heard bursts of thunder in the sky on the way here. Isn't thunder a bit abnormal in this season?"
Yanagawa Kei sat leisurely on the recliner and said casually: "If there is a vision in the sky, a monster will appear."
Li Mo skillfully brewed tea and suppressed a smile: "Master, you are good at antiques and miscellaneous studies. When did you learn to observe the sky? Is it possible that you still have a skill for me?"
"Fart, you can do what I can do, and you can do what I can't. You are already self-taught. What can I do to you?" Yanagawa Qing cursed with a smile and tapped the table with two fingers of his left hand, "Yingying secretly participated in the meeting behind our backs." Do you know about the art exam?"
Li Mo was stunned and said a little surprised: "She actually took the art exam. With her grades, she was given the choice of the top domestic schools. Why can't she figure it out?"
Yanagawa Kei looked at his unexpected expression, and most of the doubts in his heart were reduced. He sighed and said, "It's too willful, and it's hard for the female university to control it."
Li Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Liu Yingying had talked to him a few hours ago, otherwise there was a high chance that she would have been exposed just now.
"Master, is this why you called me here?"
"Isn't this important?" Yanagawa Kei glanced at him, "Of course there are more important things to tell you. Have you ever heard of Zhu Changping?"
"Zhu Changping?" Li Mo put down the teapot in his hand, thought for a moment and said, "Is it Professor Zhu from Peking University, the archaeological expert? You have collaborated with him several times before, why do you suddenly mention him."
"Xiao Mo, the master once told you that our lineage is inherited from Liu Yishou, a folk treasure appraiser in the mid-Qing Dynasty. Anyone who knows his palm can tell whether it is true or false."
"But after being passed down from generation to generation, this craft has gradually become lonely in the peaceful and prosperous times. Your master often sighs for it. Professor Zhu and I have known each other for many years and talked about this matter with him. Professor Zhu said that if you are willing, you can apply for the exam this year. The Department of Archeology of Peking University may be able to better pass on the craftsmanship of our ancestors in the future."
Li Mo shrugged and said, "Master, you also know my grades. There is no chance of me getting into Beijing University."
"Professor Zhu said that he can meet with you first. He probably wants to test your basic skills. If you pass the interview, there is a high probability that you will be specially recruited to enroll."
Li Mo stood up immediately and asked in disbelief: "Master, are you telling the truth?"
"I can still lie to you. You must seize the opportunity this time. If you can become Professor Zhu's student, then the wild people of our line will have the opportunity to become Huanghuang authentic and famous all over the world."
"Master, what should I do now?"
"You go back and talk to your parents first to see what they think? If they support it, I will take you to Kyoto to visit Professor Zhu in a few days."
Li Mo waved his hand and said: "They said that the Magic City has been too hot recently. Five days ago, the two of them went to Arctic Iceland for vacation. I guess they won't be back for a month. As for the phone call, don't even think about getting through. I have been accustomed to this world since I was a child. Master, I make my own decision in this matter."
Yanagawa Kei took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Your parents are true love, and you are just an accident. Okay, I will arrange this as soon as possible."
Boom boom boom, thunder suddenly exploded outside, and the rumble echoed in the sky.
Li Mo walked to the door and looked out through the glass. The sky had changed and dark clouds were billowing, as if a storm was coming.
"This weather is really a bit weird."
"Don't stand there mumbling, come here and pour the tea."
As soon as Yanagawa Kei finished speaking, there was another thunder outside, followed by a network of lightning, and the sky hung upside down with a flash of light.
"You really don't know about Yingying taking the art exam?"
Yanagawa Kei mentioned this matter again now, and seemed to be very upset about his daughter secretly taking the art exam.
Li Mo looked back at him, raised his hand and said solemnly: "I swear in the name of lightning, if I lie, I am willing to be punished by five thunders."
Boom, the glass of the door behind him suddenly exploded, a bolt of lightning penetrated the sky and the earth, and it was like a blazing sun shining in front of him.
Li Mo closed his eyes subconsciously, but he could still clearly feel two streams of hot air rushing into his eyes and swirling around them. The body was numb and had no feeling. The moment he fell, there was only one thought in his mind.
"Don't swear poison easily."
After everything calmed down, Yanagawa Kei regained his composure and rushed towards Li Mo, who was rolling and crawling on the ground.
…
I don't know how long it took, but Li Mo slowly woke up. He felt a numb and itchy feeling on his chest and back, which was extremely uncomfortable. He turned around and saw that he was in the hospital. The ward was quiet except for an instrument at the bedside that made a regular beep sound.
I still feel the air flowing in my eyes, but it's not hot, but very cool and comfortable.
"The man is still alive and his eyes are not blind."
Li Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was really terrifying to think about it. In broad daylight, he could be struck by lightning even if he stayed in the house. Looking at it for five thousand years, he couldn't find anyone so unlucky.
Someone was talking outside the ward, and the voice sounded like Master.
"Director Wang, how is Xiao Mo's condition?"
"Judging from the examination results, there is no danger to his life. The young man has a long life expectancy, and he should wake up soon. However, there will be traces of the lightning kiss on his body. This is the first time for me to encounter him, so it is quite strange."
"Doctor, are Xiao Mo's eyes okay? My dad said that when he was first sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, his eyes were as red as if they were melted."
This was Yingying's voice. This girl still had a conscience, and her narrow escape was worth it.
"That was caused by congestion of the eye membrane. It's fine now."
"It's better to be blind, so that he won't have to stare at those beautiful female classmates every day. Dad, you go back to the store first, and I'll stay here to take care of you all night."
"No, you have to study first. Let your mother come and take care of you tonight."
"It's just one night. If you don't go to class for a few days, you will still get the first place in the exam. Comrade Lao Liu, what do you have to worry about?"
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
A moment later, a tall girl with fair skin opened the door and walked into the ward. She had a ponytail, a shawl cardigan, and casual jeans that showed off her long legs.
"Hey, when did you wake up?"
Li Mo frowned and curled his lips and said, "Please help me see what's going on on my chest and back first. It's very itchy."
"The doctor said it was a lightning kiss. The nurse will come over later and add some sedative to your intravenous drip to relieve the itching." Liu Yingying sat on the chair beside the bed and said with a smile, "How does it feel to be struck by lightning? You are really Yes, even if you swear a poisonous oath, don’t be so cruel."
Li Mo said angrily: "I say sarcastic words, but it's not just for you."
"I know you are trying to protect me from disaster, but you can make some harmless oaths, such as saying that you will never be able to find a girlfriend, or that you will never have a chance to meet a beautiful girl, or that you will be bullied by me for the rest of your life. .”
"I'd rather be struck by lightning." Li Mo rolled his eyes. This girl's mind was filled with evil thoughts. "You'd better give me some spiritual comfort first, such as a kiss from the newborn."
"Tch, how can this girl's first kiss be of any use to you?" Liu Yingying's bright big eyes blinked with a hint of cunning, "But for the sake of your life and death for me, I'll give you a chance. Guess what I'm wearing today?" What color is your underwear? I guessed a kiss."
Are you teasing me?
Li Mo became playful and looked towards her chest with a smile on his face, his eyes widened as if he was trying his best to see through.
Two gusts of cold air appeared in his pupils again, and suddenly a strange scene appeared in front of him. His eyes suddenly penetrated Yingying's coat.
Dumbfounded.
Li Mo blurted out subconsciously: "Light purple."
Liu Yingying's sly smile froze for a moment. She looked down and saw that the protection of her clothes was airtight. This guy was really lucky. But she reacted quickly, covering her chest with both hands and standing up from the chair.
"rogue."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
I'm a gangster, bah! You are such a shameless person. It was you who teased me first. With your conservative dressing style, others would not be able to take advantage of me.
Li Mo was extremely depressed and regretful. What a great opportunity.
Then he lost his composure, and a ray of doubt came to his mind. The scene that just happened was definitely not an illusion.
