Chapter 1 The Imperial Jade Seal
Outside the window, the cold wind is biting, and a waning moon hangs high in the dark night sky, looking increasingly eerie and pale. In less than December, Hangzhou has already entered the severe cold winter. Basically, all floors and ceilings in the entire office building The rooms were all pitch black, except for one room on the 18th floor that stubbornly kept the white light on for several days.
A young man with a thin body moved his hands that looked pale because he had been typing on the keyboard. The man was about thirty years old and had neat short hair, but it was messy at this time. He was wearing a pair of thick tortoise shell glasses. The eyes behind the glasses were deep and lively, and the bridge of his nose was high, but he looked a little tired at this time. He looked up at the night sky outside the window and said to himself, "Hey, it looks like I have to stay up all night again tonight. Oh, my God, when will the days of typing for a living come to an end!"
This young man's name is Cang Yi. He is a senior copywriter in the real estate advertising circle in Hangzhou. He is a middle-school literary and artistic young man who is charming and even overflowing, but is extremely shy and dare not socialize. Therefore, when he does not work overtime, he basically stays at home and practices. Practicing calligraphy, reading books, drinking tea, you can happily write notation alone without any sense of shame like a pure-bred wild otaku.
This year is already thirty-three. According to ancient sayings, it should be the age to make meritorious deeds and establish a good reputation. But because I have been busy with work, it has been seven years since I graduated from college. I am either working overtime or going to school. On the way to work overtime, so I am still lonely and alone.
The only thing worthy of recognition is that with his hard work and savings over the years, he bought a small house in Hangzhou with a loan. According to his own words, he has almost reached the stage of small perfection in life, and he is just short of being lucky enough to marry Bai Bai. Fumei has reached the peak of her life.
Cang Yi took a sip of the freshly brewed strong tea and clicked on the news window that popped up automatically: It said that this weekend the traditional jade seal that was stolen by the Jin Dynasty during the Jingkang period of the Northern Song Dynasty will be exhibited at the Provincial Museum of Hangzhou, the former capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. , for three days...
"Hey, could this national jade seal be the long-lost He's jade? It has appeared again! Damn the Northern Song Dynasty, the incompetent Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, it doesn't matter that you two were captured, but you let such a peerless treasure Robbed!"
As a senior copywriter who has been dealing with writing work for many years, Cang Yi naturally has a literary background that is far beyond ordinary people. Not to mention Tang poetry and Song lyrics that he has memorized by heart, he can even read epic masterpieces such as the Twenty-Four Histories. As a A native of New Hangzhou naturally has a very deep familiarity and understanding of the history of the Southern Song Dynasty and the previous Northern Song Dynasty in this city, so he has a deep obsession with the destruction of the country in the Northern Song Dynasty and the southward crossing to Lin'an and the loss of the famous jade seal passed down through the ages.
While nagging and cursing the two incompetent emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was typing furiously on the keyboard. If according to the current popular saying, Cang Yi is definitely a tough troll and keyboard warrior with explosive combat power. On the Internet He is full of self-confidence, looks down on the world, insults netizens, and is the only one who dominates! If God had not given birth to him as a keyboard warrior, his spouting would be like a long night! The good habits developed by years of code word reading can basically make him speak at will, and he can write hundreds of words in a minute. String outside.
Picking up the phone on the table, he tapped the screen quickly with both hands. Looking at the obscene smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, he knew that he must be lusting after a certain girl's body.
…
"Cang Yi!"
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the museum, I heard a pleasant greeting. I saw a pretty and charming woman in yellow, standing next to a pillar with a smile. Her skin was as bright as snow, and her eyes were like a pool of clear water, like pearls.
The dizzy, beautiful jade is Liu Yun, who he is pursuing. She has a unique aura and charm unique to Hangzhou. This time Cang Yi specially invited her to come with her to see the jade seals on display.
Today is the weekend, and the traditional jade seal that has been lost for thousands of years is so mysterious. There are so many people who come to watch it, and they queue up for a long time before it is their turn. There are five people in groups, and each group only has one minute to watch.
The two of them slowly approached the crystal cabinet displaying the imperial seal. They saw that the imperial seal was four inches in diameter and looked like it was carved from blue field white jade. It had dragons, fish, and phoenixes as buttons on it, and the missing corner was inlaid with gold.
, the front of the seal is engraved with eight seal scripts with strange ancient forms and beautiful fonts: "Ordered by Heaven, I will live forever".
I don't know whether it's due to the illumination of the light or the jade seal itself, but there always seems to be a mysterious dragon-shaped light pattern on the jade that flickers on and off slowly and slowly circulates.
While Cang Yi was concentrating on watching the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, he suddenly felt a strong force coming from behind. At the same time, Liu Yun's frightened screams came to his ears. By the time he understood what was going on, he and Liu Yun had already been killed by three people from the same group.
They were firmly under control, and a sharp dagger was pressed against their necks.
"Little lovers, if you don't want to be a desperate couple, just cooperate with us and don't scream or move around, otherwise this dagger won't have eyes!" A cold and slightly stiff voice came from behind.
It's over, it's over! These three people must have been planning for a long time. They were going to hijack the imperial seal. However, Cang Yi and Liu Yun were unlucky and happened to be in the same group as them. They were afraid that they would encounter a disaster this time! Cang Yi's mind
After a brief blank period, I quickly understood the current situation.
A robber put a dagger against Cang Yi's neck and threatened the museum staff: "Open the crystal cabinet of the Imperial Seal. I know your cameras are on, and maybe they are connected to the live TV outside."
, speed it up for me, or I will hurt and torture this hostage in front of the whole city’s live broadcast!”
"Wait... wait, I don't have the key. I'll contact the leader right now. You... don't be impulsive." The female staff member tremblingly took out her mobile phone and dialed the leader's number.
Cryingly, he briefly described the situation at the scene.
After a while, the leader finally came over tremblingly, sweating profusely. I don't know if it was because of nervousness or fright. He opened the crystal cabinet twice but did not open it. The robber was about to lose his patience and wanted to open the crystal cabinet.
I finally opened it when I did it myself.
The leader of the robbers tilted his head and signaled to the other robber who was not taking hostages to pack up the imperial seal in his bag and prepare to evacuate. Just when Liu Yun and Cang Yi were being dragged out of the door by the three of them, there was a sound outside.
There was a piercing siren, and then a large group of special police with guns surrounded the door.
"Listen to the kidnappers inside. You are surrounded. You are surrounded. Put down your weapons immediately and hand over the hostages. Surrender is your only way out. The government will treat you leniently..."
Cang Yi was in chaos and nervous at this time. He didn't know what would happen next. While he was still thinking about it, he was kidnapped by the robber leader and pushed out. With Cang Yi's "ah" sound
Screaming, the leader of the robbers slashed Cang Yi's arm and shouted to the special police: "If you don't want this hostage to be hurt anymore, send a helicopter over quickly. I'll give you five minutes."
, every minute he is late, I will give him a knife, and I will do what I say!"
Sure enough, just five minutes later, Cang Yi's arm was slashed again. Blood flowed from the two wounds, which looked very scary.
I don’t know if it really took time to mobilize the helicopter or something else, but it took 7 minutes for the helicopter to arrive. Under the coercion of the robbers, the SWAT team retreated and cleared the area to make room for the helicopter, and then the robbers hijacked Cang.
Yi and Liu Yun got on the plane, and the special police were not given any chance during the process. One was already on the plane, and the other just emerged from inside, without giving the snipers in the distance a chance to kill them at the same time.
These three looked like they were no ordinary people. They even drove away the original pilot of the helicopter. After getting on the plane, the three of them hardly communicated and each performed his duties. The leader of the robbers was able to skillfully fly the helicopter, and one of them held Liu Yun hostage.
, the remaining one, under the command of the leader, put down the package containing the imperial seal in his hand, and bandaged Cang Yi's injured arm. Otherwise, if the blood continued to flow, Cang Yi would first bleed to death.
I don't know whether it was because she felt scared now or because she realized that she might be killed and silenced. Liu Yun kept sobbing softly and suppressed her voice.
Cang Yi also regretted very much at this time. Why did he invite Liu Yun out to see the imperial seal? Other girls were not very interested in this. Maybe they just thought it was a small interlude before eating and watching a movie. Unexpectedly,
It may become the swan song of a short life.
Cang Yi looked around while the robbers were bandaging themselves, and found that the helicopter was heading directly towards the Tianmu Mountains southwest of Hangzhou. Suddenly, he found that the sun outside the window became more and more dazzling, and even gradually changed to blood red. From the color
It looks a bit like the red sun and blood sun setting over the western mountains.
"No, it seems that the temperature is getting higher and higher!" Cang Yi felt everything around him, and he became more and more anxious. His eyes glanced at the surrounding sky from time to time. "What! This is the Nine-Star Shining Sun!" Cang Yi suddenly felt in his heart.
With a shock, I saw nine luminous objects faintly appearing next to the sun, getting brighter and brighter, and the color became more and more blood-red and strange.
I saw nine red stars and the sun flickering on and off, flickering on and off, with a rhythm like breathing. Suddenly, the nine red stars shot out nine beams of light, shooting towards the sun in the center, and finally converged into a huge beam of light, aimed at where Cang Yi was.
The helicopter is approaching!
"It's all over this time!" Cang Yi had just had this thought in his mind, and suddenly felt that the whole world had suddenly stopped, and his soul seemed to be floating backwards away from the helicopter, and then he watched helplessly as the helicopter in the distance disappeared behind the beam of light.
Under the bombardment, it exploded into a ball of flames. I vaguely seemed to see the imperial seal exploding, and then a blue-white light shot towards me...
This was Cang Yi's last consciousness, and then the world fell into boundless darkness.
