Peng Wenyun's study is decorated in an antique and elegant manner.

"Count, this is the second time we've met. ”

The old man had gray hair, sat on the side of the table, and began to boil tea on the tea set that had been placed, his face that had been tense was also slightly restrained at the moment, and he looked up at Lin Ye, his face was pleasant.

"No, it's the third time. ”

Lin Ye said respectfully: "The first time was before enlisting in the army. ”

"Oh, yes, yes, at that time, you were less than 1.7 meters, and now you are so tall. ”

The old man gestured with his hand, then smiled and said, "The years are not forgiving, your group of people have grown up, and I am also old, so I should retire." ”

Lin Ye shook his head and said, "Sir, you are still so healthy, you are in better spirits than our young people, Huaxia also needs you, how can you retire." ”

"It's not okay to be old if you don't accept it, there are talented people in the country, and you always have to find a successor. The old man had already pointed out, which made Lin Ye's heart chuckle.

But soon, the old man said again: "Today's matter, don't blame Xiaotian, I asked him to come, let go of Gao Hu, it is also my intention, in fact, I have already arrived in Jiangcheng in the afternoon." ”

"What?"

Lin Ye gasped, and then looked at the old man incredulously.

"I came in the afternoon and watched you have a good show. The old man said.

An embarrassed look appeared on Lin Ye's face, and said, "Sir, why don't you tell me in advance when you arrive, I can welcome you, after all, I am also a native of Jiangcheng, so I can do my best to be a landlord." ”

"Is this blaming us?"

The old man smiled, and then said: "But I'm still very pleased, although you are a bit nonsense, but you also have your own bottom line, and you have not crossed it." ”

Although the old man seems to be old, there seems to be an irrepressible qi and blood in his body, even more vigorous than the young man's qi and blood, and when he said this, this breath overflowed throughout the study and space.

"Sir, I don't understand what you mean. ”

Lin Ye was solemn and lowered his head and shouted.

"This is the third time we've met, so we don't have to be so dignified. As far as we make tea, it is not a relationship between superiors and subordinates. Tenglong didn't mind, but said lightly: "You call me old man, I call you a little friend, don't you mind?"

"Simply flattered. Lin Ye showed a smile of surprise, shook his head and said humbly, "Sir...... The old gentleman still calls me Xiao Lin, or Xiao Ye. ”

The old man tinkered with the tea set in his hand and said slowly, "Do you know how to taste tea?"

"A little. ”

"Okay, wait for me, and then try my tea, which I brought from the capital. The old man's expression was serious, his tea cooking skills were extremely clever, and any details were handled almost harshly, Lin Ye did not speak, the whole study was extremely quiet, only the sound of gurgling water under the rockery outside was faintly heard outside the long wooden lattice window, which was particularly clear in the dark night.

Lin Ye does know how to order the tea ceremony, and the person who took him back then was like a treasure trove, dabbling in everything, and knowing a little bit of everything.

Not long after, after the tea was cooked, the old man took out a red sandalwood tea tray with a unique shape like a large inkstone and began to pour tea. I saw that there were Yixing purple clay pots and Fujian black ou rabbit cups on the tea tray, and the wisps of tea gas on the upturned mouth of the purple clay pot rose and dispersed.

"Little friend, please!"

The old man pushed, and then said, "After tasting tea, let's talk again." ”

"Good!"

Lin Ye nodded, picked up the black rabbit lamp, and took a sip, but he felt that his mouth was full of fragrance and endless aftertaste, and he couldn't help but let out a fluttering sigh. When he raised his head, he saw the old man staring, looking at himself expectantly, and asked.

"How?"

Lin Ye only has a superficial study of the tea ceremony, if he just says that it is delicious and fragrant, it will seem tasteless in front of the old man, and as soon as his mind turned, he calmly said: "This tea reminds me of my two former friends." ”

The old man was very interested and said, "Tell me." ”

"I have two friends, one is proficient in tea art, known as 'tea demon', it means that he is obsessed with the tea ceremony and has gone crazy, I know him when he is over sixty years old, surnamed Min, another friend of mine is surnamed Zhang, older than me, good at appreciation, what kind of tea he sniffed and tasted, he can tell where the tea comes from and where the water is used to make tea, they originally did not know each other, the friend surnamed Zhang listened to me say that the tea of the old man Min is wonderful, I want to see it. ”

Lin Ye smashed his mouth and continued: " One day at dusk he went alone, the old man Min was not at home, he sat there and waited, when it got dark, the old man Min came back, saw that there were guests at home, the posture was obviously waiting for tea, you must know that there are too many people who want to drink the old man Min's tea, many of them are vulgar and unbearable, so the old man Min does not accept strangers now, immediately turned around and left, the excuse is that there is something to forget to take back, my friend surnamed Zhang has good patience, sat still, waited for more than an hour, the old man Min came back again, opened his eyes and said that the guests are still there! A friend surnamed Zhang said that if I don't drink Min Lao's tea today, I will never leave. ”

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, but he was interested, and said, "Your friend surnamed Zhang has a kind of scoundrel energy, Xiaoyou, you go on." ”

Lin Ye nodded and said, "Old man Min likes the scoundrel strength of his friend surnamed Zhang, and if someone is stupid, he will have a kind of infatuation, which is what the old gentleman said about the scoundrel." ”

At that time, Old Man Min didn't say a word, put down his crutches, set the stove and made a fire himself, and soon boiled tea. A friend surnamed Zhang was amazed when he took a sip, and asked where the tea was? The old man Min said that it was Langyuan tea. A friend surnamed Zhang frowned and took another sip of tea, saying Min Lao, don't lie to me, although this tea is the preparation method of Langyuan tea, it is not Langyuan tea. The old man Min laughed and asked what kind of tea the guest thought? A friend surnamed Zhang said why it looked so much like Luo Jiacha? The old man Min stuck out his tongue and exclaimed! Strange! It was indeed Luo Jiacha. A friend surnamed Zhang asked what kind of water it was, and he replied that it was Fengquan. A friend surnamed Zhang shook his head and said that Min Lao lied to me again, Fengquan is thousands of miles away, and it will be bumpy on the road to be transported, so it won't be this smell. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Ye paused and said: "The old man Min was greatly admired, and said with admiration that the guests are really amazing, let me tell you, this is indeed Fengquan water, when it is transported over, use a boat, place pebbles under the big urn of water storage, when the boat travels, it will go downwind, and it will stop against the wind, and it will take half a month to transport an urn of water, this kind of water is better than the abundant spring in place, and the essence of the guest's appreciation is the only one seen in the life of the old man, and the two people shook hands and laughed, and they were engaged from then on. ”

This story was heard by Lin Ye in that person's mouth, I don't know if it has anything to do with him, this good story, Lin Ye confided in it with a little polish.

After listening to this, the old man was extremely moved, stunned for a long time, and then sighed leisurely, and said: "It is not difficult to cook tea, but it is difficult to taste tea. ”

Lin Ye lowered his head and said: "Those two are both masters outside the world, they have no fixed residence, and they live a life like idle clouds and wild cranes, even if the juniors want to find them, it is very difficult. ”

"That reminds me. The corners of the old man's mouth suddenly rose, and he said: "In this world, you can have such leisure and leisure, your two friends should also be talents in the hidden door, right?"

"I don't know. Lin Ye's eyes shrank, and then he shook his head.

"If you don't know, forget it. The old man shook his head gently, but did not dwell on this topic, but said: "People often say, 'tea is like life, the first tea is bitter like life, the second tea is fragrant like love, and the third tea is as light as the breeze'. ”

Cattle people like this generally like to test you before talking, to see what level you are, whether it is worth talking about, one level lower than yourself, one way of talking, two levels lower, and another way.

And now it is obvious that Lin Ye has reached the approval of the old man, and he has completely made friends with his peers.

Hearing this compliment, Lin Ye didn't feel ashamed, but said cheekily: "The junior is just leading others' opinions, and he can't be regarded as any tea ceremony appreciation, and the old gentleman's Liao Zan really can't afford it." ”

"Young people, if you should be arrogant, you should be modest, you should be modest, and you can grasp this very well. The old man said: "I'm at your age, but I'm arrogant and unscrupulous, and I don't give anyone face." ”

Lin Ye knew what he said about today's events, showed a wry smile, and said, "Old gentleman Liao praised, I am ashamed." ”

"I have already given the order in advance, and all the news will not leak out, at least in the circle of the advanced layer, I have already covered this layer of cloth for you. The old man said: "As for the mouths of the common people, the old man can't control it, but today's conflict is not too big, and nothing really happened, I believe that Xiaotian can also deal with the aftermath." ”

"Thank you. Lin Ye knew that this was the old man's statement to himself, selling his favor, and hurriedly thanked him.

"I didn't do this for you for nothing. The old man said: "I know, you and Xiaotian have set up a training camp for the king of soldiers, and it has been four or five years, and this product is prepared for the cross plan. ”

"Yes. Lin Ye nodded and said.

"For the sake of the training camp, your identity is organizational, and you are already in a state of discharge, at least on the bright side, you are now not protected by the organization. The old man said in a deep voice: "In other words, you only have me and Xiaotian now, and we can be sure that you are still our people, and the others, at most, only know your status as a discharger." ”

"Understand, this is to make sure nothing goes wrong. Lin Ye took a deep breath and said that he understood.

"What is the original purpose of the training camp? What exactly is the Cross Project, do you know?"

The old man said suddenly.

Lin Ye said in a deep voice: "The Cross Plan is a secret plan of Huaxia, which was proposed by the training camp to help the people of Huaxia eradicate threats from abroad. Our training camp can be named after the SAS of Ingli, the Delta Force of M, the Navy SEALs of M, and the SASR of Australia. ”

The old man suddenly said: "Actually, the cross plan has been proposed for more than 20 years, but it has only begun to be promoted in recent years, do you know who this proposer is?"

"Could it be ......" Lin Ye looked at the old man.

"Yes, it's me. The old man nodded and said, "It's just that the organization didn't approve it before, but in recent years, the wind has changed and my proposal has been passed, because my starting point has changed, just like you just said, the cross plan is for the threat from abroad." ”

"Changed?" Lin Ye trembled in his heart and said, "Wasn't that the case at first?"

"It's not overseas, it's domestic!"

As if to confirm Lin Ye's conjecture, the old man nodded solemnly, took a deep breath, and said, "The original purpose of my proposal was to deal with the territory!"

Lin Ye's heart beat uncontrollably violently.

Although he has already begun to gradually end the cross plan under Ye Xiaotian's arrangement, and the next step is to become the main person in charge, to be honest, he still doesn't know what the old man is talking about now.

But it was precisely because of this that his face showed a look of doubt, and he said, "Sir, I don't understand, is there any threat in the territory that needs to be resolved?

"Is that really the case?" the old man looked at Lin Ye, a hint of coldness on the corner of his mouth.

"Please understand, sir. ”

Lin Ye bowed his head and said.

"Why don't you come with me? The old man did not answer immediately, but stood up.

What else could Lin Ye say, he could only nod and say, "Then I'll accompany the old gentleman for a walk." ”

Out of the study and downstairs.

Seeing that a military jeep had been parked, the old man quickly went to the back, and Ye Xiaotian was about to walk towards the driver's seat, but was pulled by Lin Ye.

"What are you doing?" Lin Ye asked in a deep voice.

"You'll know when you go. Ye Xiaotian's face was solemn.

After knowing him for so many years, Lin Ye rarely saw him look so solemn, so he simply didn't ask any more questions, so he nodded and began to sit next to the old man.

Ye Xiaotian drove and quickly drove out of the Nanhua community, and then drove straight towards the back mountain in the suburbs.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a cemetery. ”

Twenty minutes later, Lin Ye said.

"Xiaoyou hasn't been back for ten years, and I have a good memory, and it's indeed a mausoleum behind it. The old man smiled faintly.

Lin Ye always felt that the old man had something to say every time, but he didn't know what the other party was hinting at.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of the cemetery, Ye Xiaotian parked the car and waited outside, while the old man took Lin Ye into the cemetery. Came to a cemetery, the cemetery is built on the mountain, sits in the north and faces south, the tomb is green and green, covering an area of at least 20 square meters.

I saw a tombstone more than one meter high standing in front of it, with the words "Tomb of Fengge" written on it.

"It's ......"

Lin Ye didn't expect that the old man actually asked him to accompany him to sweep the tomb.

Now in the sky, the moon and stars are scarce, and a few stars are hidden on the edge of the clouds, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other, and the cold wind is gusting.

Standing in the cemetery, Lin Ye actually felt a slight coolness.

"Qingming Festival is coming. The old man stood in front of the tomb for a long time, and suddenly a sentence came out.

"Hmm. Lin Ye nodded and said, "This veteran in the cemetery is also a martyr." ”

Although Lin Ye had never heard of the name of Feng Ge, he also knew that the characters who could be valued by the old man would definitely not be simple.

"Not to mention a martyr, he is a hero of China! If he is still in the world, if he is still in the army, there may be nothing to do with my old man. The old man stroked the tombstone, his eyes were very complicated, full of various emotions, and said: "When he died, it was also the Qingming Festival, so every year on the Qingming Festival, I regarded it as his death day, and I didn't remember the specific day." ”

Unexpectedly, the old man had such a high evaluation of Feng Ge and such a memory, Lin Ye thought about it for a long time, and it seemed that he couldn't find a record of this name.

"Do you want to hear about him?" said the old man suddenly.

"I want to hear about it. Lin Ye said.

"It's true that he was a martyr, but he didn't die on the battlefield!"

The old man suddenly slapped the tombstone fiercely, and an amazing aura erupted from all over his body!

I saw that his forehead was swollen, and his wrinkled face became a little distorted because of anger or pain, his eyes were spewing fire, and he gritted his teeth and said: "He, he died at the hands of a thief from the hidden door!"

The old man's sudden aura made Lin Ye never expect it, and when he heard him mention the hidden door again, Lin Ye's body shook violently!

"Hidden Gate, a group of tumors! I think I am above the law, I think I am above the rules!" The old man did not see Lin Ye's expression change, but pinched the corner of the tombstone with his hand, as if he was about to crush it, and said: "I hate, I hate that I didn't have the strength at that time, I hate, I can't save this brother of mine, I hate it even more, even if I climb to the top of the monarch's rank, I can't help him avenge it!"

"Sir, calm down. ”

Seeing that the old man in the entire Huaxia was so distressed, Lin Ye also tightened his heart.

But he barely controlled his emotions, grabbed the old man and said, "The deceased is gone, I think Feng Gequan has knowledge, and I don't want you to be so painful." ”

"Whew-"

With a long breath, the old man finally regained his normal color, his face was gloomy, staring at the tombstone, and the whole person was as stunned as a wood carving. Extremely moving to extremely quiet, as if all the emotional outbursts just now were hallucinations.

At this time, Lin Ye cautiously asked, "I heard you just now, didn't this Fengge senior die on the battlefield?"

"Of course not. The old man's thoughts drifted away, and he said lightly for a long time: "But the death report I handed over to my superiors said that he died on the battlefield. ”

Like these secrets, the old man actually told Lin Ye without the slightest concealment, which made the latter very surprised, and he said, "Chief, what the hell is going on?"

"Is there any smoke?"

The old man suddenly squatted down, and when Lin Ye handed him a cigarette, he smoked it, and said without answering, "How much do you know about martial artists?"

"Hmm. In front of other people's graves, chatting about inconsequential things, Lin Ye always felt a little weird, but seeing that the old man didn't mind, he could only squat down and said: "I don't know deeply, the chief should know that before I joined the army, I had already come into contact with martial arts, and I know martial arts, which are divided into four realms: heaven and earth, Xuanhuang." All monarchs who join the special forces need to reach the peak of the Yellow Rank or above, and when I led the team before, I would not be hired if I did not reach the Xuan Rank. ”

"Not bad. The old man spat out a cigarette, his face as calm as water, "Actually, do you know that twenty years ago, there was no such requirement in our organization, and martial artists were required to reach the elite army. ”

"Oh?"

"It's all forced. The old man's face looked unusually hazy in the smoke, but his eyes were terrifyingly deep, "There are a total of 409 acupuncture points on the human body, including 361 acupuncture points on 14 meridians and 48 extrameridian acupoints. And we, Huaxia, have the hidden door in control of this piece, and it has never been exposed!"

Lin Ye's body shook again!

"We, in China, have created a means for the military to use after tireless exploration, as well as sacrifices and efforts in personnel, combined with some foreign exercises!"

After a pause, the old man continued: "But to open up the acupuncture points, unless it is a genius, each step needs to be accumulated for many years. And the realm of martial arts is related to these opened meridians, when all the meridians and acupoints in the body are opened, it is time to impact the second vein of Rendu, once you break through these two acupoints, you will be promoted to the heavenly level!

"I heard that above the Heavenly Steps, there is another realm. Lin Ye said: "I don't know if it's true or not." ”

"It's true. The old man nodded to the ground, and said, "That realm is called the Heavenly Position! The Heavenly Rank is divided into the Small Heaven Rank and the Great Heaven Position! The powerful Hidden Sect and the elders are almost all in this realm!"

"What?" Lin Ye's body shook, he didn't expect that there really was such a realm!

In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the man coming, and at this time, the old man's voice came slowly:

"Our Huaxia, after 20 years of development, in addition to the hidden gate, there are now hundreds of thousands of martial arts practitioners in the world, but to be precise, it's just that there are very few people who have reached the small heavenly position!

"In the Jun team, is there such a realm as a heavenly position?" Lin Ye was stunned.

"Of course there is!" the old man said in a deep voice, "But very little, Feng Ge, and I, we used to be." ”

Lin Ye was shocked again, he only knew that the old man had been powerful for a while and had a lofty status, but he never expected that he would be so strong!

But think about it, if you are not a heaven-level master, how can the old man be born and die, how can he break through those swords, mountains and fires, dangerous predicaments, if he is an ordinary person, how can he single-handedly make such a feat, enjoy a prestigious reputation?

"However, in the past twenty years, the Hidden Sect has reached a consensus with our officials that martial artists above the heavenly rank will not appear in the world at will!"

As if seeing Lin Ye's shock, the old man suddenly paused, a look of hatred flashed in his eyes, and said: "But this is just our expedient measure, this group of tumors, which have existed in China for hundreds of years, think that they are beyond heaven and earth, and they will take power and let it be squandered, treating rules as nothing, and human life as if they were mustard!

A glint flashed across Lin Ye's face, and then he said word by word: "And the domestic threat that the chief just said, the Cross Plan, was born for this?"

"Lin Ye, do you know that Gao Jian, the head of the Gao family, is the pinnacle of the Heavenly Order!"

But at this moment, another shocking news came out of the old man's mouth, which made Lin Ye feel horrified!

Gao Hu is an ordinary person, Peng Wenyun is an ordinary person, and Gao Tianyu is an ordinary person!

Can Gao Jian actually be the pinnacle of the Heavenly Order?!

"Isn't it confusing?" The old man stood up again, crushed the cigarette butt under his feet, and then stared at Lin Ye and said, "So, if I don't come this time, what will happen to you, do you know?"

What ended?

In fact, it already goes without saying?!

Before, Lin Ye was only in the early stage of the Heavenly Rank, but today he was lucky enough to break through to the middle of the Heavenly Rank, and if Gao Jian was really at the peak of the Heavenly Rank, then he could not be the opponent of the other party!

Lin Ye forcibly endured the restlessness in his heart and said, "Sir, what you said is true?"

In his heart, he already knew that the old man would not joke about these things, but he still couldn't help but ask, wanting to get a definite answer!

"Gao Jian, he is the illegitimate son of the master of the Sanhe Gate! The reputation of the Sanhe Gate in the entire high-level of Huaxia, I don't need to say more, right?" The old man turned his head to look at Lin Ye, his eyes were blazing, and he said in a deep voice: "In our cross plan, the threat index of the Sanhe Gate is SSS-level! And in order to implement the cross plan in Junzhong, I have been proposing it for more than 30 years! The purpose is to deal with these hidden doors!"

"Now, the Cross Project has finally been approved! And you are the main person in charge of this plan!"

"Do you think I won't be able to come when I learn that Gao Jian is back?
