Well of Mystery

To be honest, Bai Xiuqi was already very tired.In terms of seniority, he has more reason than Li Kun to fall asleep with his pillow wet.

But he couldn't sleep for the time being, because there were still many question marks in his head at this moment, waiting to be answered.

And there is only one person who can answer these questions.This person is sitting in the living room of this suite at this moment, raptly observing something in the palm of his hand.

Bai Xiuqi yawned, sat beside Jiang Chenglu curiously, looked down, and found that it was a small piece of golden gemstone with irregular shape but smooth and exquisite surface.

He knew that the gem facet cutting process originated in the West and was introduced to China in modern times.Prior to this, most of the gemstones in ancient China showed irregular and semi-natural shapes—just like the piece in Jiang Chenglu's hand.

"What is this?" He asked, "Could it be a cultural relic stolen from somewhere? This is against the law."

Jiang Chenglu laughed because of his serious tone.

"I'm so scared! If you count it this way, I'm afraid my brother is also a cultural relic. How about it, does the Great Painter Bai plan to hand over my brother to the Cultural Relics Bureau?"

When he said this, it really aroused Bai Xiuqi's doubts.

"To tell you the truth, just now that Baijiao called you Mansion Lord, that's not an ordinary title. Jiang Chenglu, who the hell are you?"

"You asked me, I still want to ask someone." Jiang Chenglu spread his hands helplessly: "Didn't I tell you? I don't remember many things in the past. Now I imagine myself as the Jade Emperor." Reincarnated, do you believe it?"

"I believe you are a big-headed ghost." Bai Xiuqi sneered, "You are the Jade Emperor, and I am the Queen Mother... No, Taishang Laojun!"

Jiang Chenglu teased him again: "The old gentleman is also a subject of the Great Emperor. Why don't Aiqing hurry up and salute me?"

Bai Xiuqi cursed crazy, and reached out to grab the stone in his palm.It's a little heavier than expected, and it's cold and very comfortable to the touch.

"This is Dragon Soul." Jiang Chenglu said its serious name: "It is a souvenir left to me by Baijiao just now. Tiger Soul, you have always heard of it? It is the kind that is often confused with turpentine fossils. Stuff. This is about the same as that."

Tiger soul is a special substance condensed by cultivation in the tiger spirit.Although it is not an inner alchemy, it also has a certain magical power.There are not many Tiger Essences in the world, and there are very few Tiger Souls in the world.Therefore, everyone often confuses it with the handed down turpentine amber.Compared with the Tiger Soul, the number of Dragon Soul is even rarer, and the one in front of him is the only one that Jiang Chenglu has seen since he lost his memory.

The light golden dragon soul exudes a mysterious and soft luster under the fluorescent lamp, making Bai Xiuqi naturally think of the eyes of its former owner, Bai Jiao.He was silent for a moment, then asked Jiang Chenglu: "You just said that Tiger Soul has mana, but what about Dragon Soul? What's so special about it?"

"There are many." Jiang Chenglu snapped his fingers again: "Dragon has five colors, gold, white, red, blue and black, which belong to different ancestors and have different abilities. For example, the red dragon belongs to fire and can breathe fire beads. Its dragon The soul is similar to the parietal bone of Bi Fangniao."

Bai Xiuqi followed his train of thought and continued to enumerate: "The white dragon belongs to gold, so what can his dragon soul do? Metal detector? Magnet?"

"It's not necessarily, and it doesn't have to be metallic." Jiang Chenglu shook his head: "Gold produces water, and the white dragon has lived in a swamp environment for a long time. The function of this dragon soul is probably related to water."

Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Bai Xiuqi expectantly: "Can you do an experiment for me?"

"What experiment?"

In the living room of the suite there is a large fish tank with some aquatic plants and ugly wetland fish.Bai Xiuqi was called to the side of the fish tank by Jiang Chenglu, and then told to plunge his head into the water with the dragon soul in his mouth. If Jiang Chenglu's guess is correct, he can breathe in the water with his mouth without taking a breath.

Although Bai Xiuqi was indeed a little tempted, he still asked rationally: "Why don't you try it yourself?"

Jiang Chenglu smiled: "If you are willing to try, I can give you the dragon soul."

"real?!"

"When did my brother cheat someone and don't think about it?"

"..."

Bai Xiuqi was a little tangled, but this thing was too big for ordinary people, so he finally nodded in agreement.

The surface of the dragon soul is smooth and slightly cool, and it feels like holding a piece of ice that is not so bone-piercing in the mouth.Bai Xiuqi took a deep breath, holding the edge of the aquarium with both hands, and was about to stick his head in.

"Remember, breathe through your mouth. When you inhale, put the back of your tongue against the roof of your mouth and don't swallow the water. After you inhale, exhale to spit out all the water."

Jiang Chenglu's instructions sounded simple, but it was quite difficult to actually implement them.When the cold water submerged his face little by little, Bai Xiuqi slowly opened his eyes and saw a distorted and shaking underwater world.Two or three frightened small fishes were scurrying in front of his eyes, and the small crabs waved their pincers as if they were going forward to expel the intruders.

Can't breathe through your nose, he reminded himself.

"Inhale inhale."

Jiang Chenglu's reminder came from the ear that was still exposed on the water.Bai Xiuqi slowly opened his mouth.

He lowered his head, because of the principle of cavitation, the water did not flow into his mouth for a while.He paused, adjusted his tongue position and began to inhale——

Something unexpected happened. I clearly thought about "breathing only with my mouth", but at the moment of inhalation, the nasal cavity also started to work uncontrollably, and a large amount of cold liquid poured into the nasal cavity.Half a second later, Bai Xiuqi suddenly raised his head, and at the same time broke out a violent cough.

"Jiang Chenglu, I'll go to your uncle!"

He shouted: "Try yourself, how can you breathe with your mouth and no nose!"

As early as the moment he got up, Jiang Chenglu took two steps back and hid in a safe place, and suggested with a smile on his face, "Oh, I made a mistake, I forgot to say it just now, you should hold your nose with your hands, so It's safe. How about trying again?"

"Try you big-headed ghost!"

Bai Xiuqi was still roaring, but at any rate, the sad feeling of choking on water was finally over.He wanted to complain again to express his displeasure, but suddenly his expression changed, and he grabbed his neck.

"It's over, it's over..." He stared at Jiang Chenglu with wide eyes: "I just swallowed the dragon soul in a fit of excitement."

"……puff."

Jiang Chenglu was stunned for two seconds, and then laughed inhumanly: "Is it true?"

"I lied to you to seek death!" Bai Xiuqi wanted to bite him: "What should I do now?!"

Jiang Chenglu laughed enough, and his expression finally became serious: "This matter can be big or small, it depends on whether your own stomach can live up to it."

Why does this sound so familiar, and it's a bit creepy! ?Bai Xiuqi was slandering, when he heard Jiang Chenglu say something even more unacceptable to him.

"Have you ever heard the allusion that the dragon has nine sons? Some people say that the dragon can interbreed with nine different animals. His nature must be very lustful, but it is not the case. Because the dragon has many ways to conceive and give birth to other creatures. Swallowing dragon sons, swallowing dragon soul is one of them."

When hearing this, Bai Xiuqi's face turned pale in a flash.

"You mean, I'm... I have it? But I'm a man!"

"What happened to the man? You haven't heard of it. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there was a farmer who was plowing in the field. When he was resting, a feathered man suddenly fell from the sky and had sex with him. As a result, a few months later, this man never A little snake grows under the armpit? I have this book under the bed too..."

"do not talk!"

Bai Xiuqi literally screamed to stop him from continuing, saying, "Such a ridiculous thing, how is it possible, you must be lying to me again, aren't you?!"

"What do you think?" Jiang Chenglu suppressed a smile and looked straight into his eyes.

"...Jiang Chenglu!!!"

From astonishment to suspicion, and then from suspicion to 100% certainty that he was deceived... Bai Xiuqi's face also turned from white to red. He took a few steps and grabbed Jiang Chenglu's bathrobe collar, pushing him down on the ground. At the same time, he climbed up on the sofa behind him, using his body weight to hold him down.

"Is it fun to lie to me?! Are you making money by lying to me?!"

"It's fun..."

Although it was a bit difficult to breathe, Jiang Chenglu still laughed loudly.The suite was empty, even a little echoic.

When he had had enough of laughing, he came back to look at Bai Xiuqi, who was pressing on him—a young painter who was also wearing a bathrobe. Due to the large movements, the neckline and hem had been torn loose, revealing a large smooth and flat chest and leg heels.Although the two had already met each other frankly in the bathhouse before, but for some reason, at this moment Jiang Chenglu felt that the half-concealment in front of him was more seductive.

He froze for a moment, for some reason he remembered the caring eyes Bai Xiuqi had looked at him in the cave before.Suddenly, an indescribable feeling surged in my heart.

In the ears, Bai Xiuqi was still yelling something out of embarrassment.Jiang Chenglu came back to his senses in astonishment, but he didn't know what to respond.And Bai Xiuqi, who was aware of the change in the atmosphere, also suddenly became quiet.

The two kept looking at each other in an ambiguous posture at a close distance.

Slowly, Jiang Chenglu felt his hand moving.

At first, the hand that was pressed against Bai Xiuqi's shoulder began to slide down his back.He was still exerting a little force, as if he wanted to press the person into his arms.

And Bai Xiuqi, who was aware of this, had already started to roll his eyes uncomfortably.The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to laugh, but he also felt uncontrollable anxiety.
