Chapter Twenty-Six: The Entangled Fate of Evil
The next day, the group went to the West Lake to find the painting boat at Xu Jingqiao.
Looking at the scattered pedestrians on the street, listening to the faint sheng songs and laughter coming from the shops, Qi Lu had an indescribable expression on his face.
Ding Xiaolan couldn't help but be surprised, Qi Lu's expression today was too different from his usual appearance, and people who were a little familiar with him knew that he had something on his mind. So Ding Xiaolan walked up to him and asked softly, "What's wrong, are you uncomfortable?" ”
"I have an ominous premonition, I always feel that something bad will happen today." Qi Lu replied with a frown.
The truth was really as Qi Lu expected, when they saw the cruise ship moored at the Xu Jing Bridge on the shore, they heard a reprimand from inside.
This scolding was a little familiar, Qi Lu couldn't help but glance at Lao Wu, and hurriedly walked towards the cruise ship. Before the person came to the side of the boat, he saw a middle-aged woman in the cabin with a disheveled hair walking out in a panic and happened to bump into Xu Xian.
Xu Xian suddenly blushed, he hesitated and reached out to support the crumbling woman's body, and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”
A hint of shame flashed across the middle-aged woman's face, and she quickly left them without saying a word.
Ding Xiaolan asked in a low voice: "Who is this person, Xu Jingqiao's relative?" ”
Qi Lu was silent, he had already recognized the middle-aged woman's back as the middle-aged lady he met when he followed Xu Jingqiao that night.
Just as he was surprised, the middle-aged woman had disappeared into the sea of people, and there was a loud slap in the cabin, as if some parents were scolding the naughty child. Qi Lu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he heard Xu Jingqiao's almost crying voice pleading: "Uncle Liu, you dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger."
Qi Lu was taken aback when he heard this, and rushed to the cabin first, and what he saw next surprised him again. Ding Xiaolan and the others who entered later couldn't cry or laugh when they saw such a look.
I saw Xu Jingqiao kneeling on the ground like a child who made a mistake, but the person who beat and scolded him was Liu Yifan.
Qi Lu originally came on the spot, but he never thought that he would encounter this embarrassing scene, so he had to put on a smiling face and ask, "Master Liu, why did Xiao Xu make you angry again?" ”
Liu Yifan saw Qi Lu and the others coming to the cabin, so he had no choice but to stop, he sat on the chair angrily and pointed to Xu Jingqiao and said: "Lao Tzu is kind enough to remember that the black qi in his hall has not been removed, and he specially came to find a way to resolve it." Who knew that my poor niece's bones were not cold, and this king bastard hooked up with other women! ”
"Uncle Liu, this is not the case, you listen to my explanation."
"Fuck you, shut up Lao Tzu!" Liu Yifan shouted at Xu Jingqiao, so frightened that he knelt there and trembled, and didn't dare to say anything more.
Seeing Xu Jingqiao's pitiful appearance, Qi Lu was angry and funny in his heart, he stepped forward to help Xu Jingqiao up, and sighed and said, "Mr. Xu, what the hell is going on, you should explain it to Master Liu." ”
Xu Jingqiao winced and glanced at Liu Yifan, and began to talk about what happened.
Qi Lu was stunned, others didn't know the origin of the middle-aged woman just now, but Qi Lu knew the relationship between the two of them. He originally thought that Xu Jingqiao would cover it up, but who knew that he actually told Liu Yifan in detail about his relationship with a middle-aged lady like pouring beans from a bamboo tube. At the end, he said with an aggrieved tone: "I know that I am confused, I have broken up with her, how do I know that she came to pester me again today." ”
"Okay, you kid is getting more and more capable, and you actually eat soft rice with Xiaojuan on your back!" After Liu Yifan heard this, he was even more angry, and stretched out his hand to hit Xu Jingqiao. If Qi Lu hadn't stopped him in time, he was afraid that Xu Jingqiao would have another slap mark on his face.
Although Ding Xiaolan was angry, she had no choice but to come over to persuade Xu Jingqiao when she saw him. It took a long time for everyone to persuade Liu Yifan, and he was inconvenient to see that everyone was present, so he had to sit there and sulk.
"Alas, everything has a cause and an effect. Everything comes and goes for a reason. Everything is like a dream, if the hatred is together, how can the Bodhi seed take root and sprout? Just when everyone's faces were gloomy, Xu Xian, who was standing behind them, actually said something that was very disturbing.
Qi Lu was anxious when he heard this, thinking that this is indeed my fault, Xu Xian came from ancient times and has not yet adapted to the modern human world, if he says a few more words, he is afraid that it will make Liu Yifan's anger more difficult to eliminate. So he hurriedly glanced at Xu Xian and signaled him not to talk nonsense.
Liu Yifan was indeed very angry when he heard this, but when he looked up and saw that the person who spoke was Xu Xian, his face suddenly changed, and the person also stood up.
Just as he was about to speak, the mobile phone in his pocket rang inappropriately, so he had to say sorry to Qi Lu, and walked to the side to answer the phone.
It turned out that this was a call from Liu Yifan's home, Liu Yifan simply replied a few words and hung up the phone, and then came to Qi Lu and said: "Xiao Qi, I'm sorry, there is a bit of an urgent matter at home, so I'll go back first." ”
"Well, Master Liu has something to do, let's get busy first, and I'll invite you to dinner another day."
Xu Jingqiao saw that Liu Yifan was leaving, and stood up hesitantly, wanting to send him off the boat. Who knew that Liu Yifan was angry when he saw him, his mouth was open, and he scolded him again.
Qi Lu's face couldn't hold back, so he had to whisper comfort beside him.
"I'll settle accounts with you kid in a few days!" Liu Yifan left the cabin angrily after dropping this sentence, and Qi Lu had to send him ashore with a wry smile.
When he came to the street, Liu Yifan's anger also disappeared slightly, and he asked Qi Lu in a calm tone: "Xiao Qi, who is the young man who spoke just now, why haven't you seen him a few times ago?" ”
"Ah, he is a friend of mine, and he is preparing to find a new job during this time, and I took him to Hangzhou to play when I saw that he was idle."
"Xiao Qi, you are surrounded by capable people, I see that he is extraordinary, if there is a chance, I want to count him as a hexagram."
Qi Lu's heart was suddenly shocked, remembering that Liu Yifan was already shocked when he saw Xu Xian just now. He speculated that Liu Yifan's physiognomy was amazing, if he really wanted to calculate a hexagram for Xu Xian, he was afraid that there were some things that could not be hidden from Liu Yifan's eyes, and then it would be troublesome.
How dare Qi Lu let Liu Yifan show Xu Xian, although his heart has been turbulent, but his face is quietly perfunctory with Liu Yifan. It wasn't until Liu Yifan got into the taxi that he took a long breath and hurried back to the cabin.
To Qi Lu's surprise, with such a little effort, Xu Xian actually took advantage of the opportunity when he sent Liu Yifan to talk to Xu Jingqiao about Buddhism.
Qi Lu didn't expect Xu Xian to be so interested in Buddhism, looking at his focused appearance, he seemed to be a monk who was giving guidance to the confused world. He had no choice but to glance at Lao Wu and Ding Xiaolan, who were sitting in a daze, and then coughed dryly.
Xu Jingqiao had long been impatient with Xu Xian's chatter, but because of his feelings, he had to listen patiently to what he said. Now that he saw Qi Lu returning, he just took this opportunity to stand up from his head and express his gratitude to Qi Lu.
Seeing that his eyebrows were still full of lifelessness, Qi Lu couldn't help but be shocked, and asked with concern: "Mr. Xu, nothing unpleasant has happened recently, right?" ”
"Except for today, it's okay."
"I mean, I ran into something like Xiaojuan last time."
"Ahh Xu Jingqiao's face turned pale suddenly, and he waved his hand again and again and said, "My mother, I can still die if I touch it again!" ”
"Aren't you still dead?" Ding Xiaolan muttered angrily beside her, she had long been disgusted with Xu Jingqiao's bad look. Qi Lu couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, and hurriedly signaled her not to say more.
"This gentleman is also surnamed Xu, so it is also my family." Xu Xian took the initiative to set it up.
Xu Jingqiao asked in surprise: "You are also surnamed Xu?" ”
"Yes, Xiaosheng"
Before Xu Xian's words were finished, Qi Lu next to him was shocked, he was afraid that Xu Xian would accidentally say his real name, so he hurriedly stepped forward and interjected: "This is my friend Xu Wen." ”
"Oh, hello Mr. Xu, we are really our family."
Before Qi Lu could hint at Xu Xian not to talk more, Xu Xian's low voice sounded again, "I once studied physiognomy, and now Mr. Xu's Yintang is black, although you and I are meeting for the first time, but the important matter of my life, I have to say it abruptly, and I hope you can forgive me." ”
"Oh, I see." Xu Jingqiao replied lukewarmly. He has been familiar with Liu Yifan, who is highly skilled in physiognomy, since he was a child, and he has just experienced Xiaojuan's ghost asking for his life, so he naturally doesn't pay attention to Xu Xian's words.
Qi Lu heard a hint of foreboding from Xu Xian's words, and he asked, "You mean that there is still a disaster in Xu Jingqiao?" ”
"He is haunted by demons, and if he doesn't resolve it in time, I'm afraid that there will be a bloody disaster within ten days."
"How did you figure it out?" Xu Jingqiao touched his forehead, feeling that the situation was not good, but his expression was a little believing.
"If you don't mind, how about sitting down and letting me show you the second phase?"
Xu Jingqiao didn't make a sound, but set his eyes on Qi Lu. Qi Lu knew that he didn't believe Xu Xian's words, so he smiled and said, "This Mr. Xu is my friend, you might as well let him see the second phase." ”
Xu Jingqiao sat on the chair suspiciously, and before he could react, Xu Xian suddenly stretched out his right palm and slapped it at his head!
Qi Lu was shocked, but Xu Xian's actions were completely unexpected, so he didn't have time to react to stop it.
Xu Jingqiao was hit by Xu Xian's palm, and suddenly snorted, and the person almost fell to the ground from the chair, he couldn't help but stand up angrily, and scolded Xu Xian: "What the fuck do you mean? Although he scolded fiercely, he cowered and didn't mean to do anything.
Xu Xian said calmly: "Donor Mr. Xu is a little restless, I will let you see the real chapter immediately." After speaking, he turned to Ding Xiaolan and said, "Miss Ding, please borrow your mirror." ”
"Mirrors? You're not going to use it to take on the original form of a youkai, are you? Although Ding Xiaolan hesitated, she still took out a small mirror for makeup from the small bag she carried with her and handed it to Xu Xian.
Qi Lu and Lao Wu were also staring at each other, not knowing what Xu Xian's intentions were, everyone's attention was focused on Xu Xian.
