The shop owner thought for a moment and said, "A fixed price, three thousand!"
"It's too expensive!" Jiang Cen said, "I only have one thousand yuan."
"Alright, it's a special discount for the store. I won't be able to buy it in the future!" The owner's straightforwardness was beyond Jiang Cen's expectation. It was likely that the owner also thought that the Dragon Design Cyan Jade was not very valuable.
"Just you wait, I'll go back to get the money. I'll be back in two hours!" Jiang Cen said and quickly ran away.
Seeing the Dragon Design Cyan Jade was equivalent to seeing hope! Jiang Cen was too excited. He sprinted all the way and didn't even look at the car.
But when he woke up, it was still his room, early in the morning, November seventh, and he wasn't hurt at all.
Jiang Cen immediately packed his family's spare change, his own money storage jar, and his parents bought him a new phone. It should be enough to change to the Dragon Design Cyan Jade.
After learning his lesson, he stopped running and took a taxi to Imitating Ancient Street.
The shop owner was still there. The Dragon Design Cyan Jade was still there as well. Of course, the shop owner didn't recognize Jiang Cen.
Jiang Cen negotiated and finally successfully bought the Dragon Design Cyan Jade. Holding the jade pendant in his hand, he was so excited that he was trembling.
This could very likely be a treasure that would change his fate!
"What is the origin of this jade pendant?" Jiang Cen asked.
The shop owner shook his head. He was not sure either. He had just bought this shop from the former owner. He had studied all kinds of mahogany furniture and was at most a novice in the art of ancient jade.
Jiang Cen Huai brought the Dragon Design Cyan Jade back home. He studied the jade pendant carefully, afraid that it would break.
However, he was unable to figure out the reason why. In the afternoon, he felt a little sleepy and fell asleep.
As soon as he fell asleep, the nightmare reappeared.
In the dream, he was a seventeen or eighteen year old youth. He wore white clothes, and was currently being pursued by an extremely vicious middle-aged scholar.
This scholar could actually fly with the help of a flying sword, so no matter how Jiang Cen tried to escape, he could not escape the grasp of the scholar.
Without any suspense, he was "once again" caught by the scholar. The scholar held the Dragon Design Cyan Jade's drawing and shouted at him coldly. "Take it out!"
Jiang Cen subconsciously touched his bosom - surprisingly - he really took out a jade pendant. It was the Dragon Design Cyan Jade!
In his previous dreams, Jiang Cen had never been able to bring anything from reality into his dreams, including personal clothes and jewelry, but the Dragon Design Cyan Jade was an exception!
"As expected, it's in your hands!" The scholar took the Dragon Design Cyan Jade and could not help but laugh out loud: "Haha, I have finally found this treasure!"
"What is the origin of this jade pendant?" Jiang Cen asked curiously, "Since the treasure has already been handed over to you, please let me go!"
"The secret of me possessing this treasure cannot be leaked out. You can only die! Only dead people can keep secrets! " The scholar's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
This killing intent was extremely familiar to Jiang Cen. He knew that things were not going well. Before he could dodge, the enemy's sword had already come crashing down!
"Ah!" Jiang Cen cried out in surprise, waking up from his dream.
He immediately looked at his cellphone — it was still early in the morning of November 7th, still the same starting point!
He touched his body, there were no Dragon Design Cyan Jade s on him!
"I got it!" Jiang Cen was enlightened!
"The real problem is not the Dragon Design Cyan Jade, but its death!"
"As long as I'm killed in a dream or hit by a car in 'reality', I'll be back to where I started!"
"Therefore, the only way to solve this problem is to not die. Even in your dreams, you can't die!"
Jiang Cen immediately put on some clothes and took the money to buy the Dragon Design Cyan Jade — this time, he was not as excited as before, he was more at ease in bargaining.
Jiang Cen brought the Dragon Design Cyan Jade back home and thought about it carefully.
The Dragon Design Cyan Jade could follow him and enter the dream world, so it was not simple!
But unfortunately, he was utterly unable to find any clues regarding this jade. It was useless to ask for help from anyone else. No one would believe his ridiculous story.
"The most important thing is to stay alive!" Jiang Cen thought.
He could already bring the Dragon Design Cyan Jade into the dream world. As long as it did not die, he would have the chance to change the dream world, and escape from the cycle of death that was returning to the starting point!
"Return to the dream world and try to preserve your life!" Jiang Cen had a clear goal, but he didn't know what to do.
In the dream, the enemy, the scholar, who could fly on the sword, was too powerful. He could use the flying sword to kill Jiang Cen. Jiang Cen had already tried many times.
"Try again!" Jiang Cen took half a sleeping pill. He didn't want to waste any time.
Before the drug broke out, he wrote a note to his parents asking them to buy a two-color lottery ticket number, which would open on November 9. He had been to "The Future" before, when he was sleepless for the past few days, and knew the winning number, and he had since verified it many times. Unfortunately, before he could receive the award, everything returned to its original point after the nightmare.
His parents were of the working class and it was not easy to raise him in a big city. If he was able to escape the cycle and escape the origin, his parents might be able to use the lottery to improve their lives.
As he finished writing the note, sleepiness gradually invaded him. He gradually fell asleep with complicated feelings in his heart.
Soon, Jiang Cen appeared in the "Dream World": This was a desolate valley. He was a young man in white clothes, and he was powerless, and the strong enemy was right behind him. He was flying on his sword through the mountains, and in a short while, he would arrive here to take his life!
Jiang Cen felt around his chest and took out the Dragon Design Cyan Jade.
This treasure could really be brought into his dream!
"We can't die!" Jiang Cen held the Dragon Design Cyan Jade tightly. He had "died" too many times already, so he did not panic.
"You can't run!" He had already escaped too many times, each time in a different direction, but he was always caught up to and killed by Sword Manipulating Scholar without exception!
"I can't dodge it either!" No matter where Jiang Cen hid, the scholar could easily find and kill him as if he had a radar of his own!
Jiang Cen didn't know how to keep his life. Time passed by bit by bit, and with every passing second, his death was a step closer.
Or perhaps it was not death, but returning to the origin.
To Jiang Cen, returning to the origin time and time again was no different from death. It was even more terrifying than death! Because death was an end, and to constantly return to the beginning was to never end, an endless despair without an end in sight!
"I don't want to die!"
"I don't want to go back to the beginning!"
Jiang Cen shouted towards the sky. He saw the scholar fly closer and closer and actually swallow the Dragon Design Cyan Jade!
He really swallowed it!
This was just like a mother mouse that was giving birth for the first time. She was at a loss when facing a litter of newborn mice, and would often eat a portion of the mice! It wasn't that the mother mouse was crazy or that the mother mouse lacked food. It was just that she really didn't know what to do, so she instinctively ate it!
Jiang Cen didn't know how to deal with the Dragon Design Cyan Jade or how to deal with the extremely terrifying Sword Manipulating Scholar. Therefore, he instinctively swallowed the Dragon Design Cyan Jade!
"Shut up!" The scholar cried out in alarm from the distance. His tone was panicked, extremely worried that Jiang Cen would swallow the Dragon Design Cyan Jade.
