Chapter 214: Inevitability under the Theory of Six Degrees of Separation

"Do you have to tell the truth?" Bai Xiu said sincerely, "Senior Fang is much more difficult than others, since we still have room to discuss, I am naturally willing to be your companion, not an enemy." ”

"Oh?" Fang Xuanqian continued quietly, "Okay, then I'll think about it, the Jiang family will run for you this time."

But you can think clearly, cooperating with Jiangling means being the enemy of the Fang family, and being with me means taking the risk that I may stab you in the back at any time. ”

Bai Xiu nodded: "I understand, but I believe that we will cooperate happily, because there is a saying that 'there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests', and interests will tie us together." ”

Fang Xuanjian looked at him, and suddenly said: "I took back my previous words, you didn't leave with the Fragment of the Tribulation Ding, because you felt that it was not the best choice, it seems that you have really matured a lot this time." ”

She changed her face and became fast, glaring at him angrily: "Then let's get out of here quickly, those idiots of the Fang family only know how to chase me and bite!"

"It's not safe to leave the village now, come with me. Bai Xiu led her back to the island, and slipped into the secret openings in the mezzanine one after the other.

When he got down to the ground, Fang Xuanjian lit the charm he was carrying with him and took a picture of the surroundings: "It seems that you are more familiar with Dragon Shadow Villa than me, I didn't even know that there was such a road down here." ”

Bai Xiu secretly observed her expression, and saw that what she said did not seem to be a lie, and was a little curious, if the person who left the envelope for him was not the Fang family, who would it be?

Those impostors seemed to be in Dragon Shadow Villa at the time, could it be them?

A terrible cat meow woke him from his contemplation, and he subconsciously saw that the kitten had not left, and at this time its fur had exploded, and its back was arched tightly, as if it was about to pounce on it in the next moment.

On the other side of it, Fang Xuanqian was also like a great enemy, and the puppet crawled out of her sleeve with a low roar.

"Damn brute, get out of here!"

Buzz –

A silver light flashed, and Fang Xuanqian slashed something down with his backhand, this was the first time Bai Xiu had seen her weapon, it was a slender and clear knife.

"Wait a minute!" he hurriedly scooped the kitten into his arms, "Senior Fang, it's just a cat, why bother with it, if it scares you, I apologize to you." ”

Fang Xuanjian put the knife into his arms and snorted coldly: "What are you doing with this annoying beast!"

She walked forward without looking back.

Bai Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, put the kitten down, and said to it: "Leave quickly, don't follow me, she will find an opportunity to kill you." ”

The kitten meowed sensibly, but didn't move, and its glass-like eyes were still staring straight at him.

He understood, "You want something from me in return?"

The kitten nodded, and the paw suddenly pointed at his neck, as if asking for the jade slip, Bai Xiu was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, it's important to me, I can't give it to you." ”

The kitten shook his head and shifted his direction to the side, and instinctively turned his head to see that there was a lamp on his shoulder at some point.

The familiar style instantly reminded him of its name - Soul Lamp!

The legend also came to his mind: every soul has a soul lamp, but it can only be seen when a person dies.

Has he already ......

Bai Xiu smiled dumbly, it seemed that Zhang Tianshou's words had imperceptibly affected him, but later it turned out that this person had another purpose, and the other party said that he died once when he fell off Longxingtan, and it was estimated that it was also false.

It's just that......

He looked at the lamp, its light was so faint, as if it was going to go out in the next second, could he really be as old as the legend said?

The kitten screamed as if urging him, and he tried to ask it, "Do you want this lamp?"

This time it nodded.

The rumors of the lights going out and people dying were illusory, but the cat had saved his life, and maybe it wouldn't be a big deal to give it, he hesitated for a few seconds, then took off the lamp on his shoulder and handed it over.

The kitten took the soul lamp in its mouth and walked away without looking back, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

"Hey, why aren't you leaving?" Fang Xuanqian shouted in the distance.

"You ......" When Bai Xiu followed, she looked at him, a little surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she said something inexplicable, "I find that we are getting more and more alike." ”

Bai Xiu looked at her inquiringly, but she hooked the corners of her mouth: "Let's go, it's going to be dawn." ”

The two walked out of the dark passage, and there was indeed a white light on the horizon, but fortunately, the Red Twin Towers Park had not yet opened, and there was silence inside, as if they had not yet woken up from another world.

They walked out of the park unharmed, and Fang Xuanjian asked, "What are your plans, go to Pengcheng with me?"

Bai Xiu didn't answer her, in fact, he himself was a little unsure, he had all got the three pieces of the Tribulation Ding fragments that were missing, and there were no clues about the others, I was afraid that it would take some time to inquire.

He looked down at the waterproof bag in his arms, where his closest family members and elders who were also teachers and friends slept.

He suddenly had a plan: "I want to go to Yansang Lake and Tianjing Peak to have a look, and then go home." ”

"Do you have any news about the other Raiding Life Ding fragments?" Fang Xuanqian habitually tried a sentence, and immediately reacted, "It's me who took the liberty, then we'll see you in Pengcheng." ”

Bai Xiu nodded, watched her figure disappear into the gradually brighter morning light, and turned to leave.

A day later, Katsuragi, Tenjing Peak.

Tianjing Peak is famous for its beauty and steepness since ancient times, and from time to time there are literati who come to visit, leaving poems and texts that have been handed down, and now it is a unique city card of Katsuragi, and the tourism industry has developed extremely vigorously.

There is a small city at the foot of Tianjing Peak, called Guantian Town, which is one of the starting points for visiting many scenery of Tianjing Peak.

The city was bustling with tourists, and Bai Xiu was mixed in the crowd, secretly vigilant, while walking towards a teahouse as if nothing had happened.

In modern society, there are not many people who like to drink tea, but the teahouses in Guantian Town are abnormal, for no other reason, all of which are influenced by the Taiqing Temple on Tianjing Peak that has lasted for thousands of years.

Taiqing Guanshang Road, especially love to drink tea, this day at the foot of the mirror peak Guantian Town has also derived a complementary industry with tourism - tea industry.

The people of Guantian Town are good at growing tea, and they also love to drink tea, and they know how to sell tea.

The well-known Pintianxiang Street is only separated by a wall from the most prosperous calm pedestrian street in Guantian Town, but it is quiet and very leisurely, even if there are many shops here, but it is a bit of dust in the tea fragrance.

The teahouse that Bai Xiu entered is called Suixin Teahouse, which is an ordinary one among many teahouses.

The boss was sitting on the recliner at the door of the store basking in the sun, and he didn't open his eyes when he entered the door, only the waiter at the counter came over to greet him politely: "Little brother, please sit upstairs?"

Bai Xiu smiled apologetically: "I'm here to find someone." ”

The waiter didn't slack off, but smiled: "Aren't you a guest of Old Man Qian?" ”

Bai Xiu followed him up to the second floor, and did not stop at the private seat, but went straight into a box.

Empty inside, there was an old man, it was Qian Lao, who had a lifelong friendship with Bai Xiu before, but also lost a disciple in that line.

When the waiter took the door and retreated, Qian Lao quickly stood up and pulled him to the table and sat down.

This old man is an informal person, and when he sees acquaintances, he is even more unparticular, and he pours tea while saying with a smile: "At noon, Xiao Zou's child told me that you came, and I still don't believe it, but I didn't expect us to meet so soon." ”

Mr. Qian pushed the tea, and Bai Xiu hurriedly took it, but he held the teacup and thought for a long time and still didn't know how to speak.

Qian Lao has a lot of experience in the end, and when he saw his hesitant expression, he was a little surprised: "What, you came to Guantian Town to find me on purpose?"

Bai Xiu nodded, hesitated, and still put the small box containing the white beads on the table.

Qian Lao didn't understand what he meant at first, but after opening the box at his signal, the smile on his face stopped abruptly.

Bai Xiu realized that something was wrong, and was about to ask, but was stopped by Qian Lao waving his hand.

He stared at the contents of the box and looked at it, and when his eyes touched the special pattern on the white beads, he suddenly burst into tears.

"Old man......" Bai Xiu faintly guessed a few points in his heart, and inevitably regretted it.

He was instructed by Mr. Feng to send the pearls of the two after their deaths home, but after all, he was rewarded by many parties, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, he first contacted Mr. Qian, and wanted to let the old man make an introduction, but he didn't expect to ......

"My son ......," Qian Lao asked him with tears in his eyes, "how did he not have it?"

It turned out that Mr. Feng's father was actually Qian Lao, and Bai Xiu thought to himself, this world is really terrifyingly small.

He recounted the whole story, and finally apologized, "I'm sorry, I couldn't do anything at the time." ”

"I'm already grateful that you brought him back to me. Qian Lao sighed and muttered, "My son has been naughty since he was a child, my wife Li left early, and I was uneducated, so my neglect of discipline eventually caused him to enter."

He has not wanted to see me since he came out, and I am tired of him, but I don't think this son exists...... I didn't expect that I was too bad as a father, but he was so amazing. ”

"You see how obedient he is......"

He wiped his tears and held the box in his arms, like holding a baby, "I always wanted a child who was so sensible, and it was because I was too disappointed in him at that time that I put all my hopes on Hui'er."

Maybe God punished me and took both of them away from me. ”

Bai Xiu wanted to say something, but he knew that no matter what he said, he was so pale and powerless, and he would never be able to comfort a white-haired man to send a black-haired man's father.

"The old man's festival is changing, I will leave first. ”

"Xin Fang...... No, Bai Xiu, as soon as you talk about Feng Li, I figured out your identity. He was just about to leave the box, but Qian Lao stopped him.

"My son didn't tell me about your father's so-called plan back then, but now it seems that there is something else hidden in the Maple Leaf Forest.

If you want to find out the truth of the year, there must be someone who is unwilling to overturn this old case, and now that the three families and six factions are offering a reward, he is very likely to take this opportunity to get rid of you, be careful!"
