It was noon. [No pop-up novel network]

The weather was still dreary, and the scattered snow seemed to fall faintly in the cold wind. The traffic on the street is weaving, the pedestrians are in a hurry, and there is no trace of the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival, as if it has long been washed away by the noisy and tense social reality and the impetuousness of the people's hearts.

The old man who was hunched up, dressed in shabby, and staggered slowly, had a small responsibility for life in this world of steel and concrete.

It's not brilliant, it's not conspicuous, but it's a little too low-key.

Even if the other party is really a warlock in the Qimen rivers and lakes, he would not have been too surprised by Ma Liang, who lives in the bustling crowd of thousands of red dusts, although the proportion is very small, but in life he has a variety of identities like ordinary people.

But Maleonn was surprised and suspicious...

When An Bingpan noticed this old man before, Ma Liang looked over, but he didn't find that this old man had the aura of a strange magician!

And Xiaobai's perception is unquestionable.

In other words, the cultivation of this old man's magic is higher than that of Ma Liang, and it is much higher.

You must know that when a person's cultivation in magic has reached the level of Ma Liang, there are very few warlocks who can really do it in front of him without showing any signs. Maybe a Qimen magic master can avoid Ma Liang's investigation after deliberately covering up his own magic aura, but the old man who is scavenging outside is obviously not deliberately hiding his aura.

Using spells to hide the aura is a temporary act of spelling, and the old man who is scavenging doesn't seem to have to do it.

In the past two years, Ma Liang has come into contact with many Qimen magic masters, including Sai Chunyang Lu Shan and other predecessors in the Qimen rivers and lakes, and when it comes to magic cultivation, they are also in the forefront of the rivers and lakes.

Even if he is a warlock who cultivates to reach the realm of Sai Chunyang Lu Shan, Ma Liang is confident that he occasionally encounters it on the big petal, and he can also rely on his keen intuition to discover the special identity of the other party's Qimen Warlock, and on the contrary, the characters of that realm "can also detect Ma Liang's existence."

But this old man scavenging waste, Ma Liang didn't even notice it at all.

Back to basics?

When Ma Liang realized this possibility, he suddenly set off a shocking feeling in his heart, which was really rare for a master of Qimen Magic. It's like a person walking on the street and suddenly finds that the lottery number of this issue of sports recommendation tickets is the group he just bought!

"1 Bu Bai, are you sure he is a warlock?"

Ma Liang asked softly, still in disbelief.

"When you ask, I don't seem to be sure anymore." 1 Bu Bai tilted his neck and hesitated 1

While staring at the old man who was gradually moving away, he said, "When I saw him," I clearly felt the warlock aura on his body as I had when I met the Qimen Warlock before. But now that I look at him, I feel as if there is no ......."

Ma Liang was stunned, slightly disappointed and unwilling.

He Shang and Xue Shiyuan, who walked to the elevator, found Ma Liang standing in the hotel and looking out, so He Shang beckoned: "Liangzi, what's wrong?" ”

"Oh, it's fine."

Ma Liang responded, then hugged Xiaobai and turned around and walked to the elevator, no matter what kind of character the other party is, it has nothing to do with him, why bother watching and guessing? So Ma Liang suddenly thought of one thing that he had taught in the ideological and moral textbooks when he was a child: not to watch foreign guests.

tǐng fun.

Ma Liang flashed such a fragment of memory in his mind, and couldn't help but smile.

After taking a few steps, Ma Liang turned his head and looked out again out of curiosity.

So he was stunned to find that the old man who had already walked farther and farther away, who should have disappeared into the vision that could be seen through the glass door of the hotel, had reappeared there. It seems that after walking some distance, he turned around and walked back.

And at the moment when Ma Liang turned around, the old man who was scavenging also looked up this way.

An old man and a young man looked at each other.

Ma Liang frowned.

The old man smiled slightly, and continued to walk with his head down, carrying the bag of plastic bottles on his back, he knew me!

Ma Liang's heart was pounding, and he walked into the elevator with He Shang and the others.

After going upstairs, Ma Liang did not enter the box with He Shang, Xue Shiyuan and others, but put Xiaobai down and asked her to follow Xue Shiyuan, and he went to the bathroom.

checked it in the bathroom and found that there was no one, so Ma Liang took out his mobile phone, found out the mobile phone number of Mr. Lu and dialed it: "Old man, if it's convenient now, let's go to Huazhong Hotel."

"Huh?" Lu Lao smiled and said, "I won't go, you know I don't like to come forward on this occasion." ”

"It's not for you to come to dinner, but for you to come and see someone!"

"Sh-nosed?"

"Just now I was outside the hotel door, and I met an old man picking up rags, very strange" Ma Liang said this, he involuntarily lowered his voice, 1 Bu Sheng said: "I didn't even find out that he was a warlock, it was Xiaobai who detected the warlock aura on the other party's body with keen perception, and this aura is very weak!" Later, Xiaobai couldn't be sure if his feelings were correct. ”

The old man Lu Xiangan on the other end of the mobile phone, after listening to Ma Liang's words, was obviously taken aback, and was stunned for a while before he said in disbelief: "You mean"

Ma Liang said in a more and more affirmative tone: "I think it should have reached the realm of returning to the basics!" ”

"What does the old man look like?"

"It's ordinary, I don't know how to describe him, he is dressed very shabby, he seems to be very dirty, and he looks no different from the people who pick up junks on the street."

"Did he notice you?"

"Well, he like, knowing me, smiled at me, but I'm not sure." The more Ma Liang spoke, the more he felt a little confused in his mind, his judgment and language expression ability have always been good, why do you feel a little difficult just talking about a person today?

Lu Xiang'an pondered for a moment and said, "He's still outside the hotel?" ”

"I don't know, I've already entered the hotel."

"I'll go over and take a look, oh, don't think about it, I'll contact you if there's any news."

"Okay."

After hanging the line, Ma Liang looked out through the window of the bathroom, "but I saw that there was already a fluttering snow in the heavy sky, because there was no wind, but it added a touch of elegance and tranquility to this noisy city~ Of course, it is just the feeling in my heart."

In fact, this meal arranged by He Shang, Xue Shijie, He Shang, and Lu Shuyun did not have any other purpose, but just a light meal between partners to get closer to each other, "It is a very normal social interaction, otherwise Xue Shiyuan would not take the initiative to invite Ma Liang to come with her, and also brought her goddaughter."

When Ma Liang returned to the private room, Lu Yanyun had already arrived, smiling and teasing Xiaobai.

Xue Shiyuan and He Shang were both a little surprised.

They didn't expect Lu Lianyun to know Xiaobai, let alone that as the chairman of Yum Group, Lu Lianyun would be so intimate with a little girl.

"Mr. Lu, hello." Ma Liang said with a smile.

"Oh, here comes 1 Buma." Lu Lianyun nodded, smiled and said, "I didn't expect Xue to be Xiaobai's godmother, why don't you tell me about this matter, hehe." ”

Ma Liang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Hey, when I went to Tangshan last summer, Mr. Xue liked Xiaobai, so I recognized it." Saying this, Ma Liang was still wondering in his heart, 1 Bu Bai recognized Xue Shijie's godmother's business, "Is it necessary for me to prophet you n voice?"

Lu Lianyun turned his head again and said to Xue Shiyuan with a hearty smile: "Mr. Xue, you probably don't know yet, right?" Xiaobai is my father's goddaughter, so if Xiaobai says it here, we are still relatives, haha. ”

"Oh? Such a coincidence" Xue Shiyuan smiled: "Come on" As a relative, I toast my eldest brother with a glass of wine. ”

"Together, together" hehe. ”

So the atmosphere that was still a little old-fashioned dissolved in these simple words.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became relaxed and pleasant, and everyone talked and laughed, which really looked like relatives of the family sitting together to eat.

While eating and chatting, they inevitably talked about business matters.

The iron ore mining in Tangshan is going very smoothly, and the benefits are quite high, and then they will cooperate to buy the mining rights of several mining areas in Qianxi County, and further expand the development, after the iron ore is mined, it is not only the initial refining, processing and sales, but also the direct supply of the company's steel plant, so as to form a one-stop business from mining and smelting to the manufacture of finished steel.

"Pony, are you interested in buying shares?" Lu Yanyun said with a smile.

"Me? Forget it, isn't that an obvious attempt to take advantage? Ma Liang waved his hand and declined: "You and Mr. Xue have joined forces, making money is a sure thing, besides, with your strength, is it possible that there is still a lack of funds?" Besides, I don't know what that little money in my hand is, and I don't understand it......"

Lu Lianyun said: "1 Bu Ma is modest, you are a billionaire. ”

Ma Liang smiled embarrassedly, thinking to himself that I am a billionaire? You, Chairman Lu Liangyun, aren't you burying people?

Xue Shiyuan also echoed and said: "Joint-stock company, if you don't participate, I will set aside some shares for my goddaughter." ”

"Hehe, I'll leave some for Xiaobai too?" Lu Lianyun said with a casual expression, as if the so-called shares they were talking about were just New Year's money thrown to Xiaobai.

"Don't get used to her." Ma Liang said jokingly.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to be the boss," 1 Bu Bai clapped his little hands and said excitedly: "I'll pay you back when I earn money." ”

Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh.

Ma conscience is even more beautiful,

Look, my sister follow me, she will empty the white wolf trick.

After dinner, Lu Lianyun had a lot of things to do and returned to the company.

He Shang originally wanted to accompany Xue Shiyuan to take a walk around Central China City, but he was persuaded by Xue Shiyuan to leave the company. Because, Xue Shiyuan wants to be with Xiaobai, and with Xiaobai here, Ma Liang naturally has to be with him Ma Liang, as the host, can't refuse.

After talking about the afternoon itinerary, Xue Shiyuan instructed the secretary to wait in the hotel, and left the hotel with Ma Liang and them.

In fact, Ma Liang is really not suitable to be a host part-time tour guide.

He himself belongs to the kind of people who want to go where to play, and just run there in a hurry, like a wandering around, not to mention any elegant taste, let alone pay attention to any cultural customs, as well as the historical origin of those tourist attractions, and so on.

But Xue Shiyuan came from Tangshan for the New Year, and went to Ma Liang's house to pay New Year's greetings to his parents, and she was Xiaobai's godmother.

Maleonn must be hospitable.

So on the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Ma Liang accompanied Xue Shiyuan to a little Bingtai Park, a tourist attraction that is famous in Central China and the whole country.

Ma Liang really can't think of any more suitable place to lead guests from afar.

It's just that the weather isn't very good.

Because of the season and the weather, the park is deserted and quiet, and there are no tourists at all. And Xue Shiyuan didn't seem to care about this, she held Xiaobai's hand, and looked very happy all the time, and asked An Bingpan to take a group photo with a camera.

The light snow blows in the park, and many of the buildings that have lasted for thousands of years have a solemn atmosphere.

When the group climbed to the top of the point platform and looked down at the magnificent point field, Ma Liang's mobile phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was the old man Lu Xiangan who called, and Ma Liang immediately thought of the old man who picked up the rags, so he smiled apologetically at Xue Shiyuan, then turned around and walked to the side, and said softly while pressing the answer button: "Old man, have you found that person?" ”

"No, but I seem to know who he is."

"Who?"

"Barefoot Immortal, Gu Tong."

Ma Liang sucked. The cold air said: "Such a big cow, running to the city to pick up rags, what do you think I will think now?" ”

Lu Xiangan ignored Ma Liang's question, which sounded like a clueless question, and continued: "I searched all over the vicinity of the Central China Hotel before and didn't find the person you said, and then a hexagram appeared, and the hexagram showed that it was in front of the Suzaku Gate, and the tail of the green dragon appeared. ”

"How?"

"Ponder ...... for yourself"

After Mr. Lu said this, he hung up the line.

Ma Liang choked for a moment, "I can't help but slander in my heart, what am I thinking about myself?" You always say that the heavens cannot be leaked, which is more like what a fortune teller should say.

However, he still decided to honestly think about the proverbs in the hexagram.

It's complicated and esoteric.

It is necessary to combine many basic knowledge in Yixue to convert and deduce it a little bit, so as to form a complete and clear meaning: the so-called Suzaku Gate has passed in front of him, there should be a big man who has appeared in front of him, but he passed by: and the tail of the green dragon is revealed, which means that within half a day, this big man and himself will meet.

Of course, when calculating these, Ma Liang still took Xue Shiyuan, 1 Bu Bai, and An Bingpan by the way, and toured in Dianbingtai Park.

It's a bit of an artistic conception of walking in the snow.

When the results were calculated, "a group of four people had already arrived at the shore of White Horse Lake."

In winter, a thin layer of ice freezes on Hakuba Lake, because of the attention paid to environmental hygiene and cleanliness in the park over the years, so there is no garbage on the ice, it looks clean, like a bright mirror, but a thin layer of snow is spread on it.

The tail end of the green dragon is now...

After Ma Liang deduced the meaning of this proverb, he subconsciously raised his head and looked around.

Then, he was immediately stunned.

On the opposite side of Lake Hakuba, in front of the winding path leading to the trees, under the snow-capped pine trees, there was a bench, on which sat an old man dressed in shabby clothes and hunched over. On the ground beside him, there was a woven bag that was more than half a man high, full of things.

This person is the old man Ma Liang met outside the Central China Hotel.

It seemed that he had walked a lot, and the old man was a little tired, so he sat on the bench and rested.

It's just that in such a quiet and cold environment, and in the most famous and largest park in Central China, in such a seasonal weather, there are no ordinary people in the park, and they will inevitably be full of doubts and incomprehensible, not to mention how the old man who picked up the rags came in, just saying that he came here, he couldn't pick up any rags. Still sitting on the cold snow-covered bench, he looked more like a down-and-out beggar, but the place for begging was not very good.

At this time, An Bingpan, Xue Shiyuan and Xiaobai also discovered the strange old man.

"Ryoko."

An Bingpan was vigilant and immediately walked to Ma Liang's side.

"Brother Liang......"

Xiaobai also ran over and grabbed the corner of Ma Liang's clothes.

And although Xue Shiyuan didn't know that this old man and Ma Liang had met, he was also very suspicious when he saw an old man appear in such a place, and walked over and said softly: "That old man is strange. ”

"Hmm."

Ma Liang nodded, observing the old man.

The old man lowered his head and seemed to be asleep.

"Bingpan." Ma Liang commanded softly and with a serious expression: "Take Mr. Xue and Xiaobai back to the hotel first, and I will look for you later." After that, Ma Liang smiled apologetically at Xue Shiyuan again, and said, "Mr. Xue, I'm sorry, that old man is an old friend of mine, and he may have something to talk to me about, so you can go back to the hotel first." ”

Xue Shiyuan was full of suspicion, but nodded without any hesitation and said, "Okay."

"Ryoko ......"

"Brother Liang......"

Without An Bingpan and Xiaobai to continue, Ma Liang said again: "Don't worry, it'll be fine, that is my old friend!" ”

"Okay."

An Bingpan agreed, turned around and took Xiaobai's hand, and accompanied Xue Shiyuan to the outside of the park.

"Brother Liang."

Xiao Bai reluctantly called, wanting to entangle the withdrawal of Jiāo to stay, but seeing Ma Liang's eyes wide, 1 Bu Bai had no choice but to pout and leave with An Bingpan and Xue Shiyuan.

After seeing them go away, Ma Liang smiled and walked along the path by the lake to the opposite side.

If Lu Xiangan's judgment is not wrong, and the old man opposite is a well-known legend in the Qimen rivers and lakes, the barefoot fairy Gu Tong who has always seen the head and the tail of the dragon, then in a sense, he and Ma Liang are really "old friends". @。
