Chapter 22 Xu Xian in the New Century
But Qi Lu didn't know what was happening there, and he didn't know that danger was coming. He has been busy these days because he has to take care of this resurrected Xu Xian.
Qi Lu wanted to vacate Lao Wu's room for Xu Xian to live in, and at the same time let him go to the hotel to live temporarily. But Lao Wu was reluctant to leave the Kunlun office, Qi Lu knew that he was afraid that this person of unknown origin would cause trouble, so he had to agree that he would spend the night on the couch in the office every night.
Ding Xiaolan didn't have the city government of the two of them, so she happily took Xu Xian around every day, and taught him a lot of common sense in modern society.
Through the contact in the past few days, Qi Lu found that Xu Xian was an extremely smart person, and he could understand the meaning of many things as long as he told him once. Qi Lu also put his mind at ease and allowed Ding Xiaolan to eat, drink and have fun in the name of helping Xu Xian.
In the blink of an eye, it was late at night, deep and secluded. The brilliance of the moon wheels sprinkled on the earth, reflecting the sparkling water of Qingshui Lake in the distance, is like crumpled silver, quiet and quiet.
Xu Xian was sitting in a chair leisurely enjoying a TV soap opera, and it seemed that he had adapted to modern life, and in this short period of time, he had learned how to use the remote control to change the channel to watch TV.
Qi Lu found that Xu Xian was always trying to understand the plot, and sometimes he would ask Qi Lu for advice on what he was puzzled about. However, he was always puzzled by the advertisements that popped up inexplicably, and could not understand the connection between these advertisements and the plot.
Whenever Qi Lu saw the surprised expression he showed when he watched the advertisement, he secretly laughed in his heart. Then pretend to be serious and tell him that there is a plot hidden in the advertisement, and you have to think carefully. Then he hid aside and peeked at him there, meditating and thinking, but he couldn't think of the result of his sad face.
Through chatting with him on a daily basis, Qi Lu also learned about his past life experience, and only then did he realize that the poignant legend was not quite the same as the actual situation Xu Xian said.
The White Lady was not suppressed under the Lei Feng Tower, but died in the duel with Fahai. And their son Xu Shilin did not become a high school champion as people legend, but died before he was less than three years old as Xu Xian told him earlier. Xiaoqing's whereabouts are also unknown after Xu Shilin's death, according to Xu Xian's words, maybe she has seen through the red dust and gone to the deep mountains and old forests to concentrate on cultivation.
Qi Lu also asked Xu Xian about his life after that, and whenever Xu Xian seemed a little vague at this time, he just vaguely said that he had seen through the red dust and left home, if he hadn't returned to his former residence and found the note left by his wife, he might have been lonely in the temple for the rest of his life.
Qi Lu couldn't help but feel a little compassionate, no matter who it was, such a change would be a painful memory for him. Qi Lu didn't want to reveal his scars again, so he split the topic and talked about other things.
The most troublesome thing for Qi Lu was that Xu Xian often asked to go to Hangzhou to find his wife, but Qi Lu didn't dare to agree to him easily.
Even if what Xu Xian said is true, who can guarantee that Bai Suzhen has been reincarnated, or Bai Suzhen has really been reincarnated as Xu Xian said, what if she is already married, do you want to take Xu Xian to destroy the happiness of other people's families?
No, when Xu Xian finished watching the TV series and Qi Lu urged him to rest early, Xu Xian asked him to go to Hangzhou again. Qi Lu's head was big when he heard his request that he had repeated countless times, so he had to excuse himself and say that it would not be too late to take him there when he was completely familiar with modern life.
"Mr. Qi, don't you feel that I am desperately trying to adapt to the current society? For the sake of my hard-working wife, I will not hesitate to endure as much as I want! ”
How could Qi Lu not know Xu Xian's efforts, but he was afraid that saying what he really thought in his heart would hit him, so he perfunctorily said that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
But what he didn't expect was that Xu Xian's eloquence tonight was excellent, and after spending a long time talking, he was moved by Qi Lu, and finally agreed to let him go to Hangzhou as soon as possible.
At dinner the next day, after Qi Lu had just proposed to everyone the decision to return to Hangzhou, Ding Xiaolan took the lead in opposing it.
Qi Lu was stunned, he thought that Lao Wu would not approve, but Lao Wu was sitting next to him at this time with an attitude that it was not about himself, so he asked Ding Xiaolan in surprise: "Beauty, don't you want to be beautiful as an adult?" ”
Unexpectedly, in this matter, Ding Xiaolan and Qi Lu thought together, and the reason for their worries was also the words in Qi Lu's heart that he didn't dare to express in front of Xu Xian.
Qi Lu couldn't help but look at Ding Xiaolan with admiration, realizing that she had gradually honed the qualities she should have to become a qualified soul crosser. However, on the surface, he pretended to be worried and persuaded Xu Xian not to mind Ding Xiaolan's rude words, because she was a straight intestine, and he didn't want to discourage Xu Xian's determination to find a wife.
This time, Xu Xian showed his amazing eloquence again, and in the end, he actually said Ding Xiaolan with tears in his eyes, and in turn persuaded Qi Lu to go to Hangzhou to find the reincarnated Bai Suzhen as soon as possible.
At this time, Qi Lu couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to turn his attention to Lao Wu for help.
Lao Wu saw that Qi Lu was embarrassed and said leisurely, "Well, Xiao Ding is right, long pain is better than short pain, let's go to Hangzhou again." ”
Qi Lu asked in surprise: "Don't you stay in the office?" ”
"No, this is a once-in-a-millennium event, and I don't want to miss the opportunity to see the excitement."
Even Lao Wu agreed, but Qi Lu had no choice, so he had to ask Xu Xian one last question: "The world is so big, how can you conclude that the White Lady will be reincarnated in Hangzhou?" ”
"The old spirit on the Sansheng Stone, although this body is of the opposite sex, it will last forever." Xu Xian clasped his palms together and said: "I met my lady in Hangzhou, if she has a spirit, she will definitely look for my traces in Hangzhou." ”
Seeing that Xu Xian was so persistent, Qi Lu had no choice but to nod in agreement, and the matter was settled.
Five days later, they came to Hangzhou again, and after settling down in the hotel where they stayed, Qi Lu asked Ding Xiaolan to call Liu Yifan and prepare to visit him in the afternoon.
Qi Lu did this with deep meaning, he knew that finding a person's whereabouts in the vast sea of people, not to mention the love of the world, was even more difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack. He wanted to take a shortcut and use Liu Yifan's amazing physiognomy to calculate a hexagram for Xu Xian, and maybe he could find some clues about the white lady.
But after Ding Xiaolan hung up his phone, he brought him a disappointing news that Liu Yifan had gone to other places and would not be able to come back tomorrow.
It's just a day's delay, and Qi Lu doesn't care, so he asks everyone to have a good rest for a day and go to Liu Yifan together tomorrow.
Ding Xiaolan pouted and said, "If you want to stay for a day, you are not afraid of being bored." ”
"What's the idea, that beauty?"
"Why don't we go out shopping?" Ding Xiaolan took his hand and sprinkled coquettishly.
"You spare me, I'm too tired, I need to rest well today." Qi Lu refused.
Lao Wu also objected, he didn't want to help Ding Xiaolan carry a lot of bags like last time and be thankless.
Ding Xiaolan had no choice but to turn to Xu Xian and said, "Mr. Xu, why don't you go out with me." ”
Qi Lu's face turned gloomy when he heard this, and he said in a reproachful tone: "It's a shame that you think about it, Mr. Xu is now our guest and the object of our key protection. He doesn't know him well here, so if something happens, can you take responsibility? ”
Xu Xian said disapprerovingly: "Speaking of Hangzhou, I am really willing to revisit the old place, I wonder if the broken bridge where my wife and I first met is still in the world?" ”
"Of course, Mr. Xu, why don't I take you there today!" Ding Xiaolan completely ignored Qi Lu's white eyes and vigorously encouraged Xu Xian.
"Okay, then it's going to trouble Miss Ding." Xu Xian smiled and agreed.
"Mr. Qi, you just have a good rest, let's go out to play!" Ding Xiaolan hurriedly picked up the small bag and took Xu Xian's hand and walked out, for fear that Qi Lu would block it.
Qi Lu was worried about Xu Xian's safety, and wanted to go out with them, but when he saw Lao Wu glaring at him beside him, he couldn't help but be stunned, so he stayed in the room.
After Ding Xiaolan and Xu Xian left, Lao Wu closed the door and pulled Qi Lu to the bedside mysteriously to sit down, as if he had something to say to him.
Qi Lu asked in surprise: "What's the matter, Lao Wu?" ”
Lao Wu said in a low voice: "Don't you think this Xu Xian is a little weird? ”
"Weird?" Qi Lu knew that Lao Wu would not say such a thing for no reason, and hurriedly asked, "Did you find something wrong?" ”
"Not really." Lao Wu brought Xu Xian's travel bag over, opened it and poured it on the bed. Except for some clothes and toiletries prepared by Qi Lu for him, the rest were all books brought from Kunlun Affairs, and all of them were Buddhist scriptures.
"Don't you think it's a little strange for this guy to bring this Sutra?"
Qi Lu was stunned for a moment, but then he was relieved, he smiled and said: "It's true that Xu Xian likes to read Buddhist scriptures, in addition to watching TV in the office, he just reads Buddhist scriptures." This is really difficult for him, and in less than ten days, he can basically recognize modern simplified characters, which is really not easy. ”
Lao Wu replied angrily: "He is just a plaster seller, and he has a fart to read Buddhist scriptures without reading medical books!" I suspect that his search for his wife is fake, but it is true that he wants to become a monk in Hangzhou! ”
"You're really a god logic!" Qi Lu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Have you forgotten, didn't Xu Xian tell us that he was a monk in his last few years, and his master was Fahai of Jinshan Temple." Besides, does he want to read books without bringing Buddhist scriptures and what to bring, with the now popular fantasy and martial arts? People learn classical Chinese, are they used to reading vernacular Chinese? ”
These words immediately made Lao Wu speechless, he took out the wine jug and drank a few sips of wine before muttering: "This guy is really a wretch, and he actually worships his wife and enemy as a teacher!" If it were me, I would have slashed that old bald donkey to death earlier! ”
"You better put the things back in your bag, otherwise you'll ......" Qi Lu frowned before he finished speaking. For he saw that the closed window suddenly opened, as if a hermit had infiltrated the room, and the window closed strangely in the sight of the two.
Qi Lu sighed lightly, "A guest is here." ”
