Chapter 002 has developed

After taking another glance at the alarm clock on the bedside, Cang Hai surprisingly realized that he had been lying there for nearly three hours, and it was already past one o'clock in the deep night

Without uttering a word, he entered the bathroom and thoroughly washed himself. Cang Hai returned to the room and sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought

Young man, I never expected that someone would finally open the door to the illusion. My time is limited, so I can only speak to you quickly...

Dazed and confused, Cang Hai finally realized that the person who had come to rescue him was a man dressed like a laborer in his forties. He was not very tall, around 1.7 meters, with a face full of wrinkles. However, his muscles appeared strong and firm due to his regular physical labor.

The gap is very small, and it disappears quickly; in just two or three seconds, the gap vanishes, leaving an empty space as if it had never existed at all

Listening to the conversation of this group of people, Jian Heng realized that the person he had rescued had left without a word. Not only was there no expression of gratitude, but they had also slipped away quietly without even a glance.

Any loser encountering a situation like that of Cang Hai would probably fare no better than him

In Cang Hai's view, this cellar is more reasonably named than both the seeds and the well, as it indeed resembles a place where a giant turtle resides. Once inside, it is merely a space of about twenty square meters. Given Cang Hai's height of approximately 1.78 meters, it is estimated that standing upright inside would be somewhat difficult. Therefore, Cang Hai only extended his head into the entrance, took a glance, and prepared to withdraw his head.

At that moment, a woman from the bustling city nearby spoke up: "Hurry and put on your clothes, or you might catch a cold, and that would be troublesome"

Hmm

Having picked up the change of clothes, I was ready to take a shower. As I pushed the door open, I was surprised to see my future mother-in-law actually sleeping in the living room. Upon noticing me come out, she suddenly sat up.

As the vast sea emerges once again, the crowd is abuzz with discussions

With a trembling hand, Cang Hai softly murmured: "One, two, three ... ... "

priceless

She forced a smile, and Cang Hai returned to his room, closed the door, lay down on the bed, and began to recall what had just happened

Cang Hai felt that he had just had a most peculiar dream, in which an incredible voice told him an exceedingly absurd story

Upon entering, Cang Hai felt that what he saw before him was exactly the same as what he had seen in his dreams. Looking around, it seemed boundless, yet also seemed to be within arm's reach. Beneath his feet was lush green grass, soft and fluffy like a carpet.

Holding the pendant in hand, Cang Hai pondered the bizarre dream he had just experienced, finding it both laughable and absurd. However, curiosity ultimately triumphed over reason. He raised his right hand, pinched the spell taught by the shadow of the dream, and gently made a gesture in the air before him.

The large golden crown, accompanied by a similarly golden mask, can be said to rival the craftsmanship of the golden mask of Pharaoh Tutankhamun

Cang Hai suddenly opened his eyes, and upon raising his head, he saw the ceiling light above him. As he sat up, he realized that his entire body felt as if it had been soaked in water, completely drenched

Crying at times and laughing at others, it is unclear how much time has passed. Cang Hai, while caressing the object in his hand, is acting wildly, simultaneously mumbling something incomprehensible.

Without mentioning the golden armor, just the crescent-shaped neck armor alone is enough to captivate the gaze of the vast sea, for on this neck armor, which measures approximately 30 centimeters in length and width, are adorned a total of nine gemstones, the smallest of which is as large as a fingernail, while the largest is a size larger than a pigeon egg.

The gap is very faint; if one does not look closely, it is nearly impossible to notice. However, this thing is now less than twenty centimeters away from the vast sea, making it difficult to overlook it

The people of Cang Hai have almost become half-witted

Coming back to his senses, he once again formed the incantation with his hands, extending his fingers to draw a line, and the shimmering gap reappeared before the vast sea.

At the same time, those nearby also began to persuade.

I understand, I will move out tomorrow to find a place to live. Cang Hai felt a bit displeased with his future mother-in-law's suspicious attitude, thinking to himself: Am I that kind of shameless person? Is this how you handle things?

The cave was very dark, and the objects appeared somewhat dull, but when Cang Hai dragged the items out, his entire body began to tremble

Cang Hai then remembered that the shadow had told him there was another room here; calling it a room would be more accurate to describe it as a cave.

Fortunately, in the vast sea, there was no expectation of receiving a word of thanks from others. Upon hearing that people had left, he turned around and walked towards the roadside, holding his wet shorts and with an empty expression.

With a concentrated mind, a vague shadow quickly emerged in my thoughts, and surprisingly, the shadow began to speak.

Just as Cang Hai was about to pull his head back, something in the beast den suddenly caught his attention. Soon, Cang Hai's expression shifted from surprise to delight! He rolled and crawled into the den, dragging that thing out.

Staring blankly at the gap, Cang Hai was taken aback, feeling as if his beliefs, instilled with atheism since childhood, had suddenly collapsed.

I curse you!

Who is this person? They saved her and didn't even say thank you, just turned around and ran away

With outstretched hands, the gaps were pushed aside, and the air's openings were drawn apart like curtains, while simultaneously, the vast sea squeezed in beside them

In this strange place, there are only these two things; nothing else exists!

The matter that Auntie discussed with you

Unbeknownst to when, two lines of clear tears slid down the face of the vast sea

The vast sea wept

Who

Even a novice in cultural relics understands that there is a significant difference between a bronze ding with inscriptions and one without. The disparity is immense, and naturally, the prices of those with more inscriptions and those with fewer inscriptions vary greatly.

This ceremonial armor not only includes a headpiece but also features a breastplate resembling a vest, a large neck guard shaped like a crescent moon, and a golden skirt armor approximately one foot in length

Cang Hai instinctively prepared to get dressed, but the elderly woman said, "Don't wear those wet shorts in this weather. There is a small grove over there, child. Go there and change out of your wet clothes before putting anything on again"

He casually slapped himself, and only then did Cang Hai confirm that he was not still dreaming, because it hurt, it hurt a lot

After listening to the elder's words, Cang Hai picked up his clothes and quickly dashed into the small grove

Cang Hai knew what this was, for in his dream, the shadow told him it was a seed. Although he did not know how to say this seed in Chinese, Cang Hai felt that the most suitable name for it might be the Seed of Life

Gold! Gold!

In any case, it feels like this: I will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of my life

Dreaming of the sea, Cang Hai took something out from the pocket of his coat and began to examine it carefully in his hand

The well is known to the Cang Hai, yet it is somewhat difficult to comprehend why it is referred to as the "Furnace of Life" by the shadow, despite it being clearly just a well

This is akin to a loser suddenly discovering that Ma Taobao has come before him, kindly saying, "I am your father," and that Hua Teng is his dear second uncle.

Sitting by the bed like this, waiting for the gap to disappear, then going and drawing again, returning to fidget five or six times, Cang Hai finally made up his mind to go in and take a look, as if the inside of the gap was also like a dream.

Oh, I forgot

This person is truly heartless

However, Cang Hai understands that the most valuable aspect of this armor is not the gemstones, but the armor itself. Although the quality of the gold is not significant, being almost just a layer of gold plating, it is almost entirely engraved with inscriptions.

There are as many as four large gemstones on the entire nail, and no fewer than twenty small gemstones on the nail bed

This is a pendant, shaped like a tooth. The entire "tooth" is a dark green color, resembling jade yet not quite jade, resembling stone yet not quite stone. It somewhat resembles a wolf's fang, but it is inscribed with some incomprehensible characters from the Cang Hai.

Searching through the memories in my mind, I realized that this thing is called: the Maya Sun God High Priest's ceremonial armor! It is known that this was the ceremonial attire worn by the high priests during the peak of Maya culture when they worshipped the Sun God, and the shadow in my mind ultimately takes on the identity of the high priest

As Cang Hai's fingers gently sliced through the air, his entire being suddenly felt as if it had been subjected to a binding spell, for at that moment, a gap resembling a ripple in water appeared before him

As for the water in the well, it is ordinary, with a hint of green. However, floating on the surface of the water, about 1 meter in size, is an object the size of a fist, which has piqued the interest of the vast sea.

Oh!

... ...

Ha ha ha ha!

Upon reaching the shore of the vast sea, he stood there momentarily dazed, for he suddenly felt that even wearing only a wet pair of shorts did not make him feel the slightest bit of cold

In the center of the grass lies an object that resembles a well, with the 'well rim' being a circle of large stones. Although they are referred to as stones, they appear more like the vibrant green of imperial jade, glowing with a luminous green that is refreshing and uplifting.

This was purchased for fifty US dollars at a street stall in Mexico during a business trip to Cang Hai. At the time of purchase, it was intended as a birthday gift for my girlfriend, Zhou Xinhui, whose birthday was approaching. However, who would have thought that upon returning, we would find ourselves in a state of separation, and thus this pendant was never given.

What lies before the seated figure facing the vast sea is a piece of armor, to put it more directly, a sacrificial armor, or more specifically, the ceremonial robe of the high priest

Going back and forth no less than fifty times, this loser repeatedly counted the gems on the armor, as if he could never tire of counting them!

Then a heart-wrenching laughter emanated once again from the mouth of the vast sea

"Little brother, I thought something had happened to you, such good swimming skills!" The middle-aged man said while putting on his clothes, addressing Cang Hai.

"Xiao Cang, are you going to take a shower?"

When Cang Hai arrived at the entrance of the cave based on the impression in his mind, he found that this place was less of a cave and more like a vegetable cellar, barely large enough for one person, and one had to bend down to enter. However, it was once the dwelling of a shadow, and it had a name: Beast's Den

Just like a dream

After taking a taxi home, as soon as I opened the front door, I saw my former mother-in-law sitting in the living room like a guardian deity, looking at me with a vigilant expression, as if she were a hen guarding her chicks, staring at a cunning little fox with ill intentions.
