Past years

【zero】

Whisper softly and smile coldly, a new song with a glass of wine.

This past year, regardless of return date.

【One】

Huang Meitian.rainy night.

While looking at the report on the table, Xie Yuhua unconsciously tapped the table with her knuckles.Suddenly, three short but powerful slams on the door interrupted his thinking, and then came the voice of a servant: "Master Huaer, Master Wu Xiaofo has sent the handbook of the lama's arrest this time, please Take a look."

"Come in." Even though he hadn't sung for a long time, his voice was still clear and clear, just like back then.The servants entered, gently handed over the information to the table, and quickly retreated.As soon as he came back, the door was already closed.In the past few years, taking the opportunity to help Wu Xie rebuild the handicap, he also re-screened his own people by the way.And those who can still stay under his command until now must do things like him, meticulous and clean.

Looking around, the first few pictures are all new faces, only one or two in the middle are slightly familiar.After the tragic experience of the Zhang family ancient building, many survivors at that time withdrew from this circle.However, the few remaining juniors who are still determined to be active in the Tao, have heard that they are doing well.Presumably Wu Xie brought them all here this time.It's not easy to think about this "bamboo horse" of my own. From Jia Lama, who suffered heavy losses with my help, to Wu Xiaofoye, who has just let out a little word and has people rushing up, how much cold and warm has he experienced? , that is self-knowledge.

However, when he turned to the last page, his pupils suddenly dilated.It was that person!Although the name on the information was different from the one he knew, he was still sure that the face on the photo must be that person.However, didn't he disappear after an operation as early as four years ago?It is widely rumored in the outside world that because of his high level, he insisted on breaking into the side room hidden behind the main tomb on the way to rest, but he never thought that there was a whole set of Qimen Dunjia hidden in it, so he got lost in it, No one has seen him appear.

How did Wu Xie find him?He disappeared for so long, where did he go?The person on the chair raised his hand and rubbed his temples, before sighing softly unconsciously.I am afraid that these questions can only be answered after the real meeting.

The agreed meeting time was at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly, which was a bit outrageous.Xie Yuhua's car was scratched by a novice on the way here, but a family like the Xie family, who can make white jade into gold, doesn't care about this.After leaving his subordinates to negotiate on the spot, he chartered a car nearby and hurried to the tea house.

But being late was inevitable.As soon as he arrived at the door, someone took the initiative to lift the curtain and invite him in.This teahouse was the teahouse where Wu Xie performed the scene of "Third Uncle Falling the Account". After cleaning up Wang Baqiu, Wu Xie renovated it again.On weekdays, it is used as one of the venues for business negotiations. "Master Wu is waiting on the third floor." After the shopkeeper in a long gown brought him to the stairs on the second floor, he bowed his head as if to send him off.He knew Wu Xie's style, so he didn't spend any more time agreeing to nod, and walked upstairs alone.

It's just that he was about to push the door to go in, but the door opened automatically unexpectedly.So the pair of sunglasses broke into his eyes unsuspectingly——

"..." He was stunned for a moment.The countless expressions he had imagined all turned into bubbles in front of this sudden meeting.Because of the blocking of the lens, he couldn't see the other person's expression clearly, and he didn't know whether the other person's expression froze for a moment like him.But no matter what, it was the man who spoke first, turned to the people in the room and said with a smile: "Who else am I thinking of? Let us wait." After finishing speaking, he turned around again, hooked Curling the corners of her mouth, she said in a volume that only Xie Yuhua could hear: "We meet again, Little Jiuye."

Only then did Xie Yuhua realize his gaffe, but he knew that now was not the time to get to the bottom of it.There are too many people, since we met, let's go in first, there are some things, it's not too late to talk about them in the future.So he also returned a small smile to the person in front of him.

The two entered the house one after the other.Wu Xie was still a little surprised: "You guys know each other?" Xie Yuhua just wanted to explain, but the blind man rushed in front of him and said: "The most outstanding new generation among the old nine sects—the name of the head of the family, is there anyone on the road who doesn't like it?" Do you know?" "Oh, that's it. So today is the first meeting?" Wu Xie said to Xie Yuhua, who was seated beside him, "Let me introduce, this is a black blind man."

A trace of hesitation flashed in Xie Yuhua's eyes.Pretending not to know?Why? ...but that's okay too.After all, after many years, there must always be a step down for the other party.So he didn't say anything more, just nodded, which was regarded as acquiescing.However, when the man looked into his eyes through the sunglasses, he didn't know when there was an imperceptible playfulness.

Then there is the discussion of the purpose of this fight.It turned out that Wu Xie spent a lot of money to explore the Qinling Mountains this time in order to find the kind of bronze with "mysterious power" that the Zhang family used to cast copper bells.He has also heard a little about that kind of bronze, and it seems to be related to the legendary Queen Mother of the West's meteorite.He also heard from Wu Xie that Zhang Qiling's memory loss was probably affected by this kind of bronze, so it was reasonable for Wu Xie to find this material for research.But in front of everyone, Wu Xie must have kept his mouth shut, only saying that he was going to Qinling to retrieve something.

After the meeting, everyone returned to their lodgings.This time, most of the lamas came from other places, so it was a matter of course that they lived in the same hotel arranged by Wu Xie.The door cards were distributed randomly, but for some reason, as they walked, only Jieyuhua was left behind that person.He looked down at the room number in his hand. According to the previous order, it should be the last room at the end of the corridor.

The man's room has arrived.The moment he walked past that person, he still involuntarily slowed down his pace.Inadvertently, his eyes swept across the corner of the man's clothes.Maybe he should open his mouth to say something, he thought.However, what can he say?greet?Or talk about those old past events?But in this case, it seems that nothing is appropriate.After a few seconds of hesitation, he finally straightened his back and walked straight to his room.

However, he did not notice that the person in front of the door next door stood silently after swiping the key card and did not enter for a long time.And it wasn't until the moment before he closed the door that the man turned his head, took a deep look at him, and unscrewed the handle as if making up his mind.
