"Yes, it's been almost twenty years. ”

The eyes of the old man in white were affectionate, and there was also a certain reluctance. Is it nostalgia for the passing time, or is it reluctant to give up some people or things that can't be left. No one knows but himself. The old lady knew something, but she didn't say it. A lot of words have to be kept in your heart, and it will be boring to say them.

Night fell, the crescent moon hung high, and in the cool evening breeze, a few stars twinkled and looked down on the earth.

One was dressed in plain white, and the other was dressed in light green clothes. The style is just as simple, and it's all hand-woven fabric. There is nothing to sell in the market, and even if you have money, you can't buy it. Because these are the four sets of clothes that the old lady spent a variety of materials that she had collected with great difficulty, spent five days and five nights weaving, and then made them by herself.

On the night before they were about to part, the old lady left one for herself, and each of the other three beast gods gave one set. Although nearly 20 years have passed, it is still strong and durable, with almost no signs of wear.

The old man in white had carefully kept this suit for a long time, and if he hadn't heard the old lady's unique whistling sound before, he would not have put on this set of clothes that was more precious than his own life and came out for a while Old Friend, comrade-in-arms, or the person who had never forgotten in his heart.

A woman, and a beautiful woman. No matter how much time has passed, whether she is getting old or not. It doesn't matter, because in the eyes of the old man in white, she will always be as beautiful as she was back then. is so domineering that people have to like, love, and miss.

The two old men who have gone through more than half a century and experienced the vicissitudes of the sea look at each other, and they are very excited, but they are also restrained, depressed, and have a deep understanding of each other, and can basically guess what the other party is thinking. So after a few words, they all fell silent. The face-to-face sigh sighed for a moment. At the same time, he smiled. A thousand words converged into a faint smile.

With an elegant movement of a few messy strands of hair hanging down beside her cheeks behind her ears, the old lady suddenly remembered something. looked at the old man in white with strange eyes. "I remember that our four major beast gods seem to have flown solo and have no families. Lao Bai, why did you suddenly have an extra son?"

The eyes of the old man in white welled up with a kind of loving look that only a young man can have when facing his beloved girl. Especially after decades of brewing, this kind of look is actually quite attractive. "After I got to know you with those two old bastards, let's kill devils together, get rid of traitors, and later, in order to avoid the civil war, we joined the Qidao Alliance together, and decades have passed. I've never pretended to be someone else's ...... in my heart."

"Stop!" the old lady turned her head sideways with a straight face, avoiding his burning gaze. The slightly hot cheeks flushed a light red, waved his hand, and said impatiently: "Okay, don't mention these bad things about old sesame seeds and rotten grains in the past." Hurry up and get to the point. ”

The old man in white seemed to know that this would be the case, and he didn't care. If he can finish his words completely, it won't be Zhang Xiaohua. This old woman is very stubborn, she was like this when she was young, and now that she is old, her temper has not changed at all.

"Let's go, come and sit down with me. Let's talk as we go. ”

"Hmm. ”

The old man in white took out a mobile phone from his pocket, dialed a number, and then calmly ordered: "Try to make dinner as important as possible, not too much meat." Prepare more local specialties in Yunnan...... Well...... Miao people's old jar wine and snow mist tea should also be prepared...... Well, well, that's all. ”

With that, hang up. Click, close the lid of the phone, and carry it in your pocket. Seeing that the old lady turned her head to look at him, her eyes were strange again. I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, why are you looking at me like this?"

"Lao Bai, are you okay! This is all equipped with a mobile phone?"

"Hehe, let's call people old and keep pace with the times! Old girl, how many phone numbers do you have? ”

"I don't sue you. The old lady took a few quick steps.

The old man in white quickly followed, and said flatteringly, "Why?"

"Hmph, I'm afraid you'll bother me. ”

"No! I swear, absolutely not, leave a contact information, it will be convenient to communicate in the future......"

"Isn't that bothering me?"

"It's not...... Well, how can it be the same......"

The two old men argued like children, and soon after, they came to the bamboo building where the old man in white lived.

The bamboo building covers an area of not large, divided into two floors, simple appearance, simple structure, surrounded by a green bamboo forest, the wind blows the bamboo leaves, and the scenery and atmosphere are good. If it's in the wild, it's perfect for that. But being located in a large manor house is out of place in the environment. It's like suddenly having an extra plate of wild vegetables in a luxurious feast. Piercing eyes, very incongruous.

"Lao Bai, who are you?" Standing in front of the building, she raised her finger and asked, the old lady asked in surprise. She was puzzled. raised a large group of thugs to protect the hospital, the inventory was rigorous, and idle people were not allowed to enter. According to this kind of pomp, the old guy shouldn't be so shabby, right?

"Huh. The old man in white smiled and did not reply for the time being. Take two quick steps, step on the bamboo staircase, squeak, push open the bamboo door, and invite the old lady into the house. Light up two pine nut lamps that are attached to the wall with several brackets. The unique smell of pine permeates the room. It makes people's minds clear, clear-eyed, and refreshing.

"The terrain here is high, the mountainous conditions are complicated, and the electricity cannot be connected, so the lighting can only be done with pine lanterns. ”

"Well, I know, I noticed it when I was passing through Lang Ke Village. ”

Through the flickering pale yellow light, the old lady surveyed the interior environment.

More rudimentary. The main hall hangs an icon of the Taoist Ancestor. Two futons on the floor plus a rope across the room. Nothing else. Not even a desk, a chair, a bed or anything.

The old lady's doubts were deeper, and there was even some faint heartache. "Old white. Don't tell me, that's how you've come over for so many years.

The old man in white smiled faintly and said, "Isn't it enough?" Sleeping rope, enough!"

He sat cross-legged on a futon first, and stretched out his finger to the one opposite, "The conditions are simple, so there is no chair to sit on, so let's deal with the futon." ”

The old lady gave him a blank look, sat down as she said, and asked, "Answer me the question you just asked, what is going on? According to your current conditions, it shouldn't be like this?"

"Hugging in front and back, someone waiting, a group of thugs, a bunch of bodyguards, I should be a rich man who shouts five and six, right?"

"yes, shouldn't it be like that, or is there something hidden in it?"

"Alas!" the old man in white sighed and said, "You asked me just now, why did you suddenly have an extra son, in fact, he is not my own son, but my adopted son." ”

"Yoshiko?"

"Hmm. I saved his life back then, and then something happened, and by chance, I recognized him. There used to be no manor or courtyard here, just my bamboo building. That kid had invited me many times before to go to the provincial capital and stay with him. But you know me. I, Bai Qisheng, am a casual person, casual by nature. I don't like noisy occasions. So I rejected him many times. I didn't expect that child to be very stubborn. Since you don't go, that's fine. I'll sit in a courtyard around you. And you saw it. Well, that's what this manor is all about. ”

"Oh, so those people outside were also arranged for you by him?"

Well, that's true, but the bamboo forest around me is a forbidden place, and no one is allowed to enter it. And outside of the bamboo forest, I rarely set foot in it. Hehe, I originally thought that when Dancheng was born, I would go to the Northeast to find you, but I didn't expect you to come here first. Forget it, let's not talk about me for now. Let's talk about you, how is that kid? Sixteen or seventeen this year, right? I remember when you took him away, he was only so old. The old man in white said, gesturing in his hand.

At the mention of Downing, the pride and pride in the old lady's heart spontaneously appeared. "Seventeen years old, in high school. That kid was good, very good. I am relieved that the Sanshou Gate will be in his hands in the future. ”

"Oh? I'd love to see him sooner. ”

"Hehe, it's not suitable yet, there will be opportunities in the future. ”

The old man in white nodded, his face sank, and his tone began to become solemn. "Does he know where he comes from?"

The old lady shook her head, "No." If you can come back alive this time. Then sue him for this qiē original. ”

"That's fine, but wouldn't it be too hasty to seek revenge on the 'Fallen Heavenly King' now?"

"There's no time to wait. You, I, including the old snake and the scorpion, believe that they have all touched that threshold, but they are also all wandering outside the door. If you don't succeed in a few years, it will be more and more difficult when you get older and older in the future. And, I've thought about it too. The reason why it is difficult for us to survive in realm cultivation is probably because the rift in our hearts has not healed. ”

"You mean the Fallen King?"

"Yes, if you don't kill him, your state of mind will not be satisfied. If you can't reach the realm of harmony, you will never succeed. It would be a waste of time to wait any longer. ”

The old man in white who was sitting there cross-legged with his fingers brushing his white beard under his chin, nodded his head, and then raised his white eyebrows. "However, I'm still very strange, Tang Yutian and his wife were the closest and most powerful subordinates of the Fallen Heaven King back then. How could he send someone to kill them? There is no reason? I have never understood it for so many years. ”

"Hmph, it's very simple, because Tang Yutian and his wife are kind and still have humanity. I can't get used to his ruthless and arbitrary actions. I want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, leave him and fall into the king, and take refuge on our side. But I didn't expect the news to leak, so I ...... Alas......"

"I see!" the old man in white touched his knees with both hands, raised his head and sighed, embarrassed.

"And when are you going to set out to find the old snake and the scorpion?"

"What about you, what else do you need to prepare?" asked the old lady rhetorically.

"Me, hehe, I'm light-handed, anytime, anywhere. ”

"Well, without further ado, let's leave tomorrow and fly to the United States first. Find the old snake in Los Angeles. ”

"Yes, that's it. ”
