Chapter 1 Anger wedge
Don't do rash things in your life, and you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night.
As a negative example of this sentence, Lu Jiayi paid a heavy price for her actions.
The night was very quiet and cold. Gusts of wind came from nowhere and blew across my bones. The moon was looming behind the dark clouds, adding a touch of eerie atmosphere.
Lu Jiayi pinched her thin clothes, her mouth pursed, and she was about to cry.
At this moment, she was lying on a pile of mud half a person's height, her legs trembling with fear, but she had to stick her head out to find out what was going on.
In front of me was a hillside covered with dead grass. A large area was isolated by yellow warning tape. Two security guards on night duty were standing nearby. In that isolated area, the ground had been dug up, and dirt and rocks were piled up in a mess. A dark entrance was vaguely revealed. This place was far away from the city, and only the crescent moon hanging in the sky gently cast a faint light. Under the dim moonlight, the dark entrance looked mysterious and terrifying.
This is a cemetery, a place Lu Jiayi never wants to approach in her life.
But why would such an ordinary female student like her sneak here in the middle of the night?
The answer is of course -
Lu Jiayi narrowed her eyes and looked at the entrance with a sad face, muttering to herself: "Grandfather, please, I didn't mean to disturb you..."
This tomb has become very popular recently because according to experts, it is very likely the tomb of Wang Shishen, one of the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou". Archaeologists dug for several days, and the TV station also followed up and reported for several days. In the end, they found nothing, no coffin, no gold, silver or jade, but only a tea can that had been buried for hundreds of years.
"Hundreds of years have passed, and the tea in the tea can is still intact, which is really amazing. According to experts from the Institute of Archaeology, the tea in this tea can is my country's traditional famous tea - Huoqing tea, which has a history of more than 500 years. In this ancient tomb that is most likely to be the tomb of Mr. Wang Shishen, one of the 'Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou', what does his beloved Huoqing tea represent..."
Unconsciously, Lu Jiayi's mind flashed with the exaggerated expression of the female anchor when she was reporting the news.
Just as she was distracted, an almost transparent hand patted her shoulder.
Lu Jiayi turned around suddenly, and after seeing the person behind her clearly, she immediately covered her mouth tightly with both hands, otherwise she would have screamed.
What came was not a person, but a shadow.
The figure was floating in the air, his whole body glowing with a faint white light, as if he would disappear with the night wind at any time. He was wearing a long gown with wide sleeves and a front opening, embroidered with intricate cloud patterns. His silver hair was as white as snow, casually draped down. His eyes were bright and energetic, his thin lips were half curved, and he was looking at Lu Jiayi with a smile.
Under the hazy moonlight, he stood tall with a relaxed smile, as if he was a scholar walking on the moon.
Only Lu Jiayi knew that this guy looked handsome and charming, and actually... he was also very handsome and charming, but unfortunately, he was not human!
It should be said that he is not a complete person.
Lu Jiayi was so upset that she wanted to cry. On the surface, she was a staunch atheist and a supporter of modernist science, but in private she was most afraid of things like gods and ghosts. Now, such a spirited soul was floating in front of her, how could she not be afraid.
"Lu, Lu Yu..." Lu Jiayi tried her best to put on a smile, but changed her words halfway through. Her trembling voice betrayed her inner fear, "Grandfather, are you here?"
The man named Lu Yu didn't buy her trick at all. He frowned, pointed his slender finger at the ancient tomb in front of him, and said in a commanding tone: "You should set off ."
The sound was clear, like a drop of water falling on a bluestone slab at night.
Lu Jiayi frowned and cursed the surname "Lu" over and over again in her heart. If she was not a member of the Lu family, she would not have gotten into such a mess!
This man, dressed in Tang Dynasty clothing, claimed to be the ancestor of the Lu family, Lu Yu. Lu Jiayi, his great-great-grandson, had only made a small mistake, and was suddenly harassed and threatened by him.
She must obey the orders of the ancestor and travel to different eras to collect tea leaves containing special emotions, otherwise there will be no peace.
Oh, what bad luck! If she hadn't...
Just as she was about to recall the past that she couldn't bear to look back on, Lu Yu, who noticed the change in her expression, frowned and spoke slowly: "Your first task is to find the angry fire green tea. If you don't complete the task, then don't even think about getting rid of me in this life. You know, I'm not so easy to talk to when I'm angry."
"But ..." Lu Jiayi said aggrievedly, "You want me to travel through time and space to find tea leaves for you. This is too scary! What if I get stuck in the time tunnel and can't get out, or I'm too unlucky to be torn into pieces by the power of the dimension... Woo woo, it's so scary just thinking about it! It's too dangerous. I don't dare to go. You can find someone else!"
Lu Yu looked at her expressionlessly and sighed. As if he was impressed by Lu Jiayi's imagination, he lowered his head, took out a brown object from his sleeve and handed it to her.
Lu Jiayi took a curious look and found that it was a simple-looking... toad. It looked like a tea pet. What was the use of this thing?
"This three-legged golden toad is an ancient artifact from thousands of years ago. It has been with me all my life and has cultivated a lot of spiritual energy. With it, you can communicate with my spiritual consciousness anytime and anywhere. It will also help you when necessary."
Lu Jiayi curled her lips in disdain and muttered, "You sound so nice, but it's just an ugly toad. How useful can it be?"
Lu Yu's face changed and his voice became louder: "If you try to bargain with me again, I will turn you into something uglier than this toad!" As he spoke, he made a hand gesture, as if he was about to cast a spell.
"No!" Lu Jiayi pinched her throat and yelled, almost alarming the two security guards over there.
She was still in shock, lowered her voice, and begged for mercy cautiously: "Grandfather, please don't tease me, I can go..." As she said that, she pouted, rolled her eyes at the three-legged golden toad in Lu Yu's hand, and snorted twice, "Give me that ugly thing, so that I can use it to smash the bad guys' heads when I'm in danger..."
Lu Yu was so angry at Lu Jiayi's jumpy behavior that he laughed instead and threw the three-legged golden toad into her hands.
Lu Jiayi took the tea pet and reminded worriedly: "When I get over there, you must..." Before she finished speaking, she saw a ball of brilliant light coming towards her.
Under the hazy moonlight, Lu Yu closed his eyes and concentrated. He floated in the air, his long silver hair fluttering in the wind, and his whole body exuded a stronger light. He pinched his right hand, and a colorful stream of light appeared on his fingertips. The stream of light danced around his body, gradually becoming stronger, and then flew towards Lu Jiayi in front of him.
too suddenly!
Lu Jiayi only felt her body tremble, and her consciousness instantly became blurred.
"It's a gentle yet scary style indeed..."
This was her last thought before she fell into coma .
Under the moonlight, Lu Yu watched Lu Jiayi disappear in the white light. He gently flicked his sleeves, and the figure in the air gradually faded and then disappeared into thin air.
From beginning to end, the two security guards beside the ancient tomb did not notice what had happened here.
The night was quiet and cool, and the moonlight was beautiful enough to cover up anything unusual.
