Chapter 1 in the name of lightning
Chapter 1 In the Name of Lightning
Modu, Town God's Temple, Antique Street.
Gu Yunxuan is a time-honored antique shop, mainly dealing in imitation porcelain handicrafts of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Because of the high-quality line and the word-of-mouth resources accumulated by the boss over the years, this old shop is doing well.
Li Mo walked into this old store and saw a thin middle-aged man writing with a pen. He approached without disturbing, but stood aside and watched quietly, his writing was smooth, nimble and fast, and his handwriting was thin.
A moment later, the middle-aged man made the last move, feeling a huge loss of energy and spirit. 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. It is so thin without losing its body. Master, you have imitated the original thin gold body charm of Song Huizong to seven or eight points. The past two years have really made great progress in calligraphy." Li Mo applauded and said, "But this thing is too exhausting, you need to pay more attention to your body."
"My calligraphy level is the highest. It is almost impossible to go further. Come, make tea over there. We, master and apprentice, haven't seen each other for several days. We will have a drink later."
The middle-aged man is Gu Yunxuan's boss, Liu Chuanqing, who went to Shanghai to work hard more than 20 years ago. Although he didn't make a fortune, he still lived a good life.
"Master, it's rare for me to come here, and you don't want to take out Mingqian Biluochun, and become more and more stingy."
"Mingqian tea is as expensive as gold, and I only have a little stock in stock. When did your taste become so bad, you kid? You don't even like the Yuqian tea Xinyang Maojian. If you don't drink it, just sit and wait."
"Drink!" Li Mo said with a quick smile, "It's only May and it's so sweltering. On the way here, I heard thunder in the sky. Isn't thunder a bit abnormal in this season?"
Liu Chuanqing sat leisurely on the recliner, and said casually: "There are visions in the sky, and evildoers will come out."
Li Mo skillfully brewed tea, and held back his smile: "Master, you are good at antiques and miscellaneous studies. When did you learn to observe the sky? Could it be that you still have a hand in me?"
"Fart, if I can do it, you can do it too. If I can't, you've learned by yourself. What can I do for you?" Liu Chuanqing cursed with a smile, and tapped the table with **** of his left hand, "Yingying secretly participated in the competition behind our backs." Do you know about the art test?"
Li Mo was taken aback, and said a little surprised: "She really went to take the art test. With her grades, she can choose from the top domestic schools. Why can't she figure it out?"
Liu Chuanqing looked at his unexpected expression, and most of the doubts in his heart were subtracted. He sighed and said, "Too capricious, it's hard for women's colleges to manage."
Li Mo secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Liu Yingying got through with him a few hours ago, otherwise, nine times out of ten, she would have shown her feet just now.
"Master, you asked me to come because of this, right?"
"Isn't this important?" Liu Chuanqing 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 while and said, "Professor Zhu from Peking University, the archaeologist? You have cooperated with him several times before, why did you suddenly mention him?"
"Xiao Mo, the master once told you that our lineage is descended from Liu Yishou, a folk appraiser in the mid-Qing Dynasty, and he can tell the truth of everything he has mastered."
"But after being passed down from generation to generation, this craft has gradually become lonely in the peaceful and prosperous age. Your master often sighs for it. I have known Professor Zhu for many years and talked to him about it. Professor Zhu said that if you want, you can apply for the exam this year. The Archeology Department of Beijing University may be able to pass on the craftsmanship of the ancestors in the future."
Li Mo shrugged and said: "Master, you also know my grades, and the Beijing University exam is useless."
"Professor Zhu said that he can meet with you first, probably because he wants to test your basic skills. If you pass the interview, in all likelihood, he will recruit you."
Li Mo stood up suddenly, and asked in disbelief: "Master, is what you said true?"
"Is it still possible to lie to you? You must seize the opportunity this time. If you can become Professor Zhu's student, then Ye Luzi from our lineage will have a chance to become a brilliant and authentic one and become famous all over the world."
"Master, what should I do now?"
"Go back and talk to your parents first, and see what they think. If they also 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 capital is too hot recently. The two of them went to Arctic Iceland for vacation five days ago. I don't think they will come back in a month. As for the phone, don't even try to get through. They said they wanted to spend time together." The world, I have been used to it since I was a child. Master, this matter is my own decision."
Liu Chuanqing took a sip of tea, laughed and said, "Your parents are true love, and you are just an accident. Okay, I will arrange this as soon as possible."
Boom, boom, thunder suddenly exploded outside, and the rumbling sound echoed in the sky.
Li Mo walked to the door and looked out through the glass. The sky had changed, with dark clouds billowing and rolling, as if a storm was coming.
"This **** weather is really a bit evil."
"Don't stand there muttering, come and pour some tea."
As soon as Liu Chuanqing finished speaking, there was another thunder outside, accompanied by a web of lightning, and the sky hung upside down, shining instantly.
"You really don't know about Yingying taking the art exam?"
Liu Chuanqing mentioned this matter again at this moment, it seems that he is worried about his daughter secretly taking the art test.
Li Mo looked back at him, raised his hand and said solemnly: "I swear in the name of lightning, if I lie, I will be punished by five thunderbolts."
Boom, the door glass behind him suddenly exploded, a bolt of lightning pierced through the sky, shining like a scorching sun in front of him.
Li Mo closed his eyes subconsciously, but he could still clearly feel two hot air currents rushing into his eyes and swirling. The body was numb and unconscious, and at the moment of falling down, there was only one thought in his mind.
"Don't swear easily."
After everything calmed down, Liu Chuanqing regained his composure and rushed towards Li Mo who was on the ground.
…
I don't know how long it took, Li Mo slowly woke up, with a numb itching on his chest and back, which was extremely uncomfortable. He turned his head and saw that he was in the hospital, and the ward was quiet, except for an instrument beside the bed beeping regularly.
I still feel the airflow swirling in my eyes, but it is not hot, but very cool and very comfortable.
"The man is still alive, and his eyes are not blind."
Li Mo let out a deep breath. Thinking about it, it was extremely terrifying. In broad daylight, even staying indoors would be struck by lightning. Even in five thousand years, no one would be so unlucky.
There are people talking outside the ward, and the voice is Master.
"Director Wang, how is Xiao Mo's situation?"
"According to the results of the examination, there is no life-threatening danger. The young man is very fatal, and he should wake up in a short time. However, there will be traces of the lightning kiss on his body. This is the first time even I have encountered it, which is quite rare."
"Doctor, are Xiaomo's eyes okay? My dad said that when he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, his eyeballs were blood red as if they had been melted."
This is Yingying's voice, this girl is quite conscientious, and it is worthwhile for her to escape from death once.
"It was caused by the hyperemia of the eye membrane, and it's all right."
"It's better to be blind, so that he won't 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, it's important for you to study, let your mother come and take care of it at night."
"It's just for one night. If you don't have classes for a few days, you can still take the first place in the exam. Comrade Lao Liu, what do you have to worry about?"
"Alright then, call me if you need something."
A moment later, a tall, fair-skinned girl pushed the door and walked into the ward. She was wearing a ponytail, a shawl cardigan, and casual jeans that showed her long legs to the fullest.
"Hey, when did you wake up?"
Li Mo frowned and curled his lips: "First help me see what's going on on the chest and back, it's very itchy."
"The doctor said it was a lightning kiss, and the nurse will come and give you some sedative and itchy intravenous drip." Liu Yingying sat on the chair by the bed and said with a smile, "How does it feel to be struck by lightning? You are really Yes, even if you swear poisonously, don't be so cruel."
Li Mo said angrily: "All the sarcastic remarks are not for you."
"I know you are protecting me from disasters, but you can make some poisonous oaths that are not painful, such as not being able to find a girlfriend for the rest of your life, or having no relationship with beautiful girls for the rest of your life, or being bullied by me for the rest of your life. .”
"I'd rather be struck by lightning." Li Mozhi rolled his eyes, the girl's mind was full of unkindness, "You should give me some spiritual comfort first, such as a newborn kiss."
"Tch, how could this girl's first kiss be cheap for you." Liu Yingying blinked her big bright eyes with a hint of cunning, "But for the sake of your life and death for me, I will give you a chance. Guess what I will wear today." What color is your underwear? Guessed a sweet kiss."
Is this teasing me?
Li Mo became playful, and he looked towards her chest with a smile on his lips, his eyes widened, as if he was trying his best to see through.
Two icy air streams appeared in the pupils again, and suddenly a strange scene appeared in front of him, and his vision suddenly penetrated Yingying's coat.
Dumbfounded.
Li Mo subconsciously blurted out: "Light purple."
Liu Yingying's sly smile froze for a moment, she looked down, her clothes were tightly protected, this guy had a lot of **** luck. But her reaction was also quick, and she stood up from the chair abruptly, covering her chest with her hands.
"rogue."
Turn around and run after speaking.
I'm a hooligan, I'm bah! You are the one who is so shameless, you are the one who teased me first, okay? With your conservative dressing style, no one else can find a chance if they want to take advantage of it.
Li Mo was extremely depressed, extremely regrettable, what a great opportunity.
Then he lost his composure, and a ray of doubt came to his mind. What happened just now was definitely not a hallucination.
