Chapter 386: Ants and Elephants
I was suddenly shocked, only to feel that my heart stopped beating, and I looked at Xie Yifan seriously.
This is the first time I have faced Xie Yifan in the real sense, and it is also the first time in so many years that I have seriously talked about the issue of my three souls with someone other than the old man, and the person who talked about it was Xie Yifan who took away my three souls back then.
It was a very strange and strange feeling, and it also made me suddenly feel that I was so close to the three souls that I had lost for so many years, as if it was close at hand, and it was within reach.
There was no anger, no hatred, just a little dream.
I should be glad that I have changed a lot and matured a lot, and if this day had come a few years ago, or even a year ago, I would never have been able to remain so calm and calm in front of the enemy who had hurt me so deeply. So I put away my thoughts in silence, and after calming down, I quietly looked at Xie Yifan, wanting to see what this person whose personality had been distorted to the point of not being human, and what he would say next.
And with a faint smile and my eyes, Xie Yifan quickly opened his mouth again, and said with a smile: "Brother Wei has never really had the intention of harming you, so as long as you are willing, Brother Wei can return your missing three souls to you at any time." Maybe you won't be able to go into detail now, but one day, you and Master and his old man will understand me and believe what I have said. ”
"That's a nice thing to say. If you really have the heart, why don't you give me back what you took from me first, which can show more sincerity? It's more useful than you say too much. I raised an eyebrow and said lightly.
Xie Yifan said with a smile: "Brother Fang has already said that as long as you are willing, this is a matter of time at any time." ”
"Including now?" I asked, frowning, leaning forward slightly, staring into his eyes.
After smiling lightly, Xie Yifan nodded and said, "Yes, anytime, anywhere, including now." ”
"Then you're still here~" I chuckled softly, with a hint of serendia and sarcasm.
Xie Yifan smiled and stopped talking.
"Conditions?" I was not at all naïve enough to believe that this man was now as I wished, so I sat down again, put away the slightest emotion, and asked.
I thought that even if I didn't think I would agree with this, this yin man should more or less reveal his purpose, but he didn't expect that he smiled lightly and planned to stop the conversation.
"Senior brother, this is the first time that I have met you as a brother in the same sect. Brother Wei thinks that you definitely need time to think about it now, so it is not advisable to talk too much at once, after drinking a pot of tea, you have never touched a drop, junior brother, why don't we come here today. After all, there is still time to come, and it is not too late to continue next time. ”
I couldn't help but be stunned.
There is no more useless insistence, since this yin man has made up his mind, he will deliberately hang me up first, and then insisting on it will not have any effect, but will only fall into the disadvantage, and it will seem that I am entangled like a woman, so that it is easier to fall into the trap he has set.
So after looking at him expressionlessly for a while, he didn't bother to say another word of nonsense, and got up and left.
It wasn't until I walked out of the door of this ten-square-meter store that I noticed that the back was as cold as an ice cube, and it was completely soaked with sweat.
With a sigh of relief, wiping his forehead has always been the same, but after the cold sweat that he didn't inadvertently notice, he took some prostration and weak steps, and walked out of the narrow alley quickly.
The little daughter-in-law was very obedient, and asked her to take someone back to the store first, and she really hugged Xiao Linuo to open the door and enter the store, but she didn't go anywhere, seeing that I even stumbled a little and pushed the door into the store, a cold sweat, my face was frighteningly white, and my face changed immediately, so I hurriedly came over to support me and asked what happened.
"Go back, go home, hurry home, also, call Sister Yun, let her also quickly drop everything and go home, don't go anywhere, yes, let her come here first and then go back together, don't go alone." At this point, I didn't care to explain anything, and my mind was full of thoughts of calling home all the people who had absolutely nothing to do, and my voice was seriously distorted in panic and anxiety.
Let the little daughter-in-law hug someone to go back to the store first, because there is a god on the door of the store, and it is daylight now, even if Xie Yifan's extremely dangerous big yin person wants to secretly do something to them when talking to me, there will at least be something to block it, so as not to be completely exposed to the potential huge threat. And after so many days, I have already figured out that the portrait of the thirty-four generations of spiritual people is itself thirty-four spiritual maps, the further forward the more powerful it is, there are ancestors of the past dynasties, no matter how great his ability is, he does not dare to break into it easily, so the safest place at this time is none other than the Sanheyuan.
Although the Yin man was kind and polite on the surface, like a humble gentleman, but in fact, since I met him, almost every word contained one of the threats, and the reason why he didn't make any moves was nothing more than to pull me into his camp and betray the old man with him, or to give me time to think about it, as soon as there was any wind and grass that was not under his control, he would immediately tear his face and do anything, so I had to deal with it.
Seeing that my voice became like this, even if the little daughter-in-law couldn't figure out the situation anymore, she knew that the matter was not trivial, and after helping me to sit on the sofa, she hurriedly called Sister Yun, who was already at work.
Just wanted to take a breath of relief, Xiao Li Nuo shook and threw himself on his body, looked at the little princess for two seconds with some delay, and after looking at the jade Qing pen hanging on her wrist for two seconds, he suddenly came to his senses again, and hurriedly picked it up, even in the store guarded by the gods, he didn't dare to let go of it at all.
Xie Yifan knew the existence of the Yuqing pen, and his biggest ambition was to take this painting spirit treasure for himself, the key was that he had seen it before, and the Yuqing pen was tied to Xiao Li Nuo's wrist, so he must also be on guard, it may come at any time.
This is the most important sacred relic of the Painting Spirit Sect, and it must not fall into the hands of this ambitious traitor under any circumstances, if it is really snatched by him because of negligence, I will die hundreds of times and thousands of times and will not be able to atone for my sins.
Although I don't know why, after receiving the call from my little daughter-in-law, Sister Yun still rushed back quickly, but in a trance, the car had already stopped at the door of the store, as if it had come back in an instant, and nothing happened, and then drove us back to the house.
When we got into the car, we couldn't help but glance at the narrow alley next to us, just in time to see Xie Yifan walking out of the façade, standing at the entrance of the alley and looking at us with a smile.
The biggest enemy came to Lao Cai, rented the small façade that the father and son surnamed Wang used to rent and became neighbors with me, such a big thing, I naturally didn't dare, and I couldn't keep it a secret. So on the way back, I told the two women about the current situation and the many situations they may face next, asking them to temporarily put down everything, not to step out of the courtyard before this huge crisis is lifted, and to stay at home for food and accommodation, and at the same time to inform their parents who are still in their hometown, so that they should not return to the provincial capital for the time being, just stay at home and try not to go out, and Li Lin will not go home for the time being.
Although it is very inappropriate to separate the two places at this time, compared to it, the hundreds of miles from my hometown to the provincial capital are more unreassuring, so I can only arrange it this way first. As for Li Lin, he should have never been seen by Xie Yifan and the Yan puppet killing puppet, and the possibility of being targeted is very small, and the best way is not to go home and expose himself.
I bought some food on the road that could last for a few days, and when I returned home, as soon as it was nightfall, I drew a picture to summon Xiao Qinghe and the white-faced scholar who had traveled everywhere, and after explaining the situation, I temporarily entrusted the safety of my hometown to them, and at the same time asked the general soul on the bank of the Xinyang River for help.
It wasn't until everything was arranged properly and that nothing was left out of the whole body was relieved a little from the extremely tense state.
There are no worries for the time being, and the next thing is naturally how to deal with Xie Yifan, who suddenly arrived, and find a way to deal with him.
This is something that the Painting Spirit School has had to face every once in a while for more than 1,300 years. Although the old man's attitude has always been very clear, he doesn't want me to get involved in the incident, and I can only passively accept it all along, but now, since Xie Yifan, a traitor, has swaggered to his side and set his target on me, and the old man who left for a showdown with him is also missing, and his return date is unknown, then, as the thirty-sixth generation of the Spirit Painting School, I have the responsibility and obligation to deal with him, and I can't hide at home as a turtle with a shrunken head.
The orthodox heirs of the painting spirit, no matter what, can not be afraid of traitors, this is a spirit that every generation of painting spirit people adhere to, or called integrity, naturally can not come to me and cut off.
So from this day on, while stepping up day and night to learn the method of suppressing the Yan puppet and killing the puppet, I began to think about how to deal with Xie Yifan without harming the innocent, at least dragging this extremely dangerous character here and unable to get out. In addition, there is also an additional task, that is, to leave the courtyard every day, go to his small façade of about ten square meters to sit, listen to the so-called voice of this person whose personality has been distorted, and look for his possible flaws.
It's a bit regrettable that in the days of confrontation, I have never seen a puppet or a puppet again, and what Xie Yifan says every day is also the same, the intention is very clear, but it is also very unclear, which makes it difficult to analyze what he wants to do.
In a state of high mental concentration, almost not daring to relax for a moment, and having no time to take care of the world outside the courtyard and the small façade, at first I can still remember how many days have passed, but later, I don't have a clear concept at all, I only know that it should be a long time past.
The old man still has no news and no return date, and I still haven't found out what he can call his flaws and weaknesses from the seemingly calm confrontation with Xie Yifan every day, and there is still not much peace that can be dealt with head-on once it is broken, so as to avoid hurting the innocent. And he, with no sign of breaking the peace, still boiled a house of tea at nine o'clock every morning and waited for me to arrive, and then showed his tea skills in front of me, and then drank it himself slowly, and handed me a cup every day, but never invited me to tea, and I never took a sip.
The situation just fell into an eerie calm, and I don't know when it will be broken.
"Are you waiting for something?" I didn't want the situation to continue like this, but I was a little afraid that once it changed, with my ability, it would not be enough to protect the people I wanted to protect, so I got up and left on this day, and when I walked to the door, I couldn't help but turn my head and ask with some contradictions.
"And are you waiting for something? Bro. Xie Yifan's reaction to any of my questions was always as if it was expected, and he would not have any surprised expressions, and asked with a smile while packing up the tea set.
I frowned slightly and thought about it, and then said bluntly: "I'm waiting for my master to come, or when I have enough ability to send you to hell, of course, it's best if I have the ability to break you into pieces without affecting the innocent, if this time comes, I won't waste time with you." "I don't know this yin man, but this yin man knows me very well, and I am no different from a transparent glass in front of him, so there is no need to hide my thoughts.
"Until now, you still refuse to admit that I am your senior brother, forget it, even the master wants to monopolize it, and he refuses to admit that he is also a disciple of his old man, or at least he was once his disciple." Xie Yifan shook his head and smiled, looking a little helpless, and did not respond to the undisguised hostility in my words.
"You all know that it was once, and if it was once, how could I admit what your previous identity was? I only know that since the time I worshiped my master, there has been no such person as you, or ...... Devil? "I knew very well that his lack of reaction was not because he couldn't hear the hostility, but because he didn't care at all.
Since they don't care, there is no need to respond, just like an elephant would never pay attention to the threat from ants.
This is the pride of him Xie Yifan, a butcher, an executioner who regards life like a mustard.
Correspondingly, since I didn't care, I naturally didn't need to hide it, so although the calm situation has not changed much, my words have become more and more aggressive.
"What am I waiting for, I've been very honest with you, but what about you? What are you waiting for? ”
"Okay, since you are honest, junior brother, you won't hide it for your brother, and I will tell you the same frankness." Faced with my inquiry, Xie Yifan smiled and replied, "Brother Wei is waiting for you to open your mouth, and I want me to return your three souls to you." ”
"I've already opened my mouth, I've already said it at the beginning." I said with a frown.
