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 his waistband was a small decorative dagger and the ink-colored jade pendant.
It's not like a dream...
Li Ang stretched out his hand and stroked the alley wall, and 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 an experience similar to "lucid dreaming".
‘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 can cause death.
Based on 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 species, or if it’s not life-threatening for the time being.
Li Ang circulates his spiritual veins, and the spiritual energy flows through his body. The ink thread slightly pierces the skin of his palm and spreads it in the palm. If necessary, it can cover the back of the palm at any time.
At the same time, he pulled 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.
Colorful flags embroidered with the names of each store flutter in the wind.
There was only deathly silence, not a single soul could be 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 lucid dream that I can control, then let a Belaz-surface mining truck equipped with a Cummins QSK78 special mining 3,500-horsepower engine appear here.' p>
Li Ang imagined something in his mind that would never appear in the Yu Kingdom.
The big truck did not appear, but 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 of the Ministry of War and a native of 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.
"Risheng, 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. When he reached the general level, he suddenly realized something. He stopped and said, "Brother Li, the situation here is weird. How about you first tell me something that you and I 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.
That wooden box made the back of my hand bleed.
The second thing is that I lived in the academy and the bed pattern I slept on was 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, today I went to Xuegong Patent Office to find Dr. Su Feng to register a patent."
Both parties 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 that I drank 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 soldiers and officers of the border guard army. This time they returned to Chang'an to report on their duties and celebrate my admission to the Academy. I will not return until I am drunk."
"My memory is of going home and lying on the bed to sleep. It seems that 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 onto 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 something that you and I know and something that you know and I don't know."
"Uh, something you and I both know...I failed the Yulu exam today?
As for the things I know 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 and drank some of my uncles' medicine.
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 got to death."
"...Okay."
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). Furthermore, the three of them had all 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 should not be any dangerous aliens sneaking in."
That's not necessarily the case.
Li Ang silently said 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 the abnormality.
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 mutation is aimed at the academy.
Disciples are here..."
"Ahhhhhh!"
The extremely miserable human voice sounded in the distance, and the expressions of the three people changed suddenly, and they looked in the direction of the sound.
