Chapter 12, the old name is Hanako
That night, I didn't sleep, and I kept thinking about Fu'er's smile and the little liar's disappointed look at me.
But what can I do? I have looked for boiling water frogs and Xu Tao, and they all told me that to enter the ancient emperor's tomb, the key is necessary, and this key is by my side.
The promises I can give are very limited, and I can only say to Fu'er: "If I can keep you from dying, I will definitely not let you die." β
When I say this, I want to shave my ears.
The next day, Xiao Wang called me early in the morning and told me that after the black arm I had sent for testing had been dissected, a strange magic circle had been revealed inside, and I wanted to take a look.
When I arrived at the laboratory, I saw a circular circle carved into this black arm, which looked very small at first glance, but when I looked at it under the magnifying glass, I was immediately startled, and its precision was no less than that of an ancient magic circle.
It's no wonder that after I input the aura, this black stone arm will move, and even be able to be manipulated. I touched my chin and said, "This arm may have been made of a ji, but I don't feel like it." This ancient magic circle can be said to be the originator of modern puppetry. And the one who can make such an awesome magic circle must be an extremely strong puppet making master. It is obvious that it is not, so it means that there are still members of the same party in China.
However, it will take a lot of time to investigate this matter now, and the most important thing for me at present is to rush to the ancient emperor's mausoleum before the return of Ji and get the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.
I asked Fu'er, but she didn't know anything about the ancient emperor's tomb, and it was no wonder that she was a double personality herself, and it was normal not to know.
If she doesn't know this personality, then she can only ask her another personality as a last resort. I also remember that her other personality would always speak some strange language.
When it comes to ancient languages, I have to ask for advice on the moon, since the last time I saw that she was interesting to me, I didn't dare to go to her, in case there was too much contact, she had a long-term affection for me, wasn't that embarrassing?
Only this time I had to go to her hard, and when I returned to Beijing, everyone was shocked to see me pulling a cute little girl into the door. Yuhan also made fun of me and said, "Boss, I haven't seen you for a few days, you have even found the daughter-in-law of the little liar." It's fast enough, this little girl is so cute, come over here and give Sister Yuhan a hug. β
Yuhan hugged Fu'er as he spoke, and the platinum viper stared at Fu'er with big eyes, but Fu'er was not afraid, and smiled and kissed the head of the platinum viper, this is the second time I have seen a child who is not afraid of the platinum viper, the first is a little dumb. When the little liar first saw the platinum viper, he was scared half to death.
There was a lovely child in the courtyard, and it was naturally lively, and at this moment, the reluctance in my heart for Fu'er, a lovely child, suddenly became a little more aggravated.
The poisonous dragon real person took the little liar's hand and looked at it for a long time, then gave me a blank look and said, "Ahem, I helped my little liar find a lovely daughter-in-law, this thing is quite reliable." β
Muliang Junzi took out the divination tool and said with a smile: "Come on, Fu'er come quickly." Big sister helps you divinate a hexagram and bless you with peace and security. β
She uses tarot cards, the simplest three-card game, in order to amuse the child. However, Fuer's three cards were strikingly consistent. Three Grim Reapers, everyone was stunned. Junko Muliang smiled awkwardly, and wanted to re-divinate after scrambling the cards, but I took Fu'er's hand and said, "Let's go, big brother will take you to see the room." β
At the meeting in the evening, I told everyone about Fu'er, and everyone was silent. Junko Muliang looked at the tarot cards in his hand and muttered, "No wonder all three are deaths." But boss, is there another way? β
Everyone looked at me, but I shook my head, said a word and walked out of the courtyard alone after the meeting was dismissed. At the mouth of the alley of the courtyard, the dumpling restaurant where I fought fiercely with the ancestors of the Xiang family in the past is still open. When I entered the dumpling shop, there were not many customers, so the boss naturally knew me, and said with a smile: "Is it still the same today?" Leek-filled? β
I nodded, sat down and thought for a while and said, "Is there any wine?" Any wine is good, it is white, and it is strong. β
In fact, many people drink heavily, not because they want to drink, but because they are depressed in their hearts. There are many reasons for the unsatisfactory work, the disharmony of the family, the lack of anger among the children, and the affair of the partner.
And the reason I'm sitting here drinking is because I'm going to lose another loved one. And this relative must be sacrificed by me personally, I sighed, the boss's dumplings were brought up, and I got a stack of peanuts and two cloves of garlic, put a bottle of two pots in front of me, and said: "You just drink, if you are really drunk, I will carry you back." β
I smiled, nodded, poured a full cup into my wine glass, raised my head and drank it all, the second pot was very spicy, after swallowing it, my body seemed to be burning, I then poured myself a glass, and was about to drink it, but in the dumpling restaurant came an old man with white hair, this old man was very thin, his hair was very long and messy, covering most of his face. Carrying a wooden stick, wearing a tattered cotton jacket, he looked dirty and poor.
He walked into the dumpling restaurant, and seemed to know the boss, who said, "Oh, I'm always called Hanako, come in, there are not many guests today." You wait, I'll give you a pot of cabbage-stuffed dumplings. β
The old name Hanako didn't thank him, he just nodded. There were a lot of empty seats around me, and he walked over to the empty table next to me, and I said, "It's cold outside, come and have a drink, warm up." β
Hanako was stunned for a moment, looked at me and then at the wine on my table, then nodded and walked over, and after sitting across from my table, I took out a wine glass and poured a glass.
When he reached out and took the wine glass, I saw that his palms had thick calluses, he seemed to notice my eyes, took his hand back, swallowed a cup of Erguotou, peeled two peanuts, and he kept his head down from me. I smiled and said, "If I had known that I would meet you, I wouldn't have just invited you to drink Erguotou." β
He was slightly stunned, but still didn't speak. I filled him up again, and then said, "Although I don't know how you passed Lao Tzu's test, I don't know why you became like this. But your name, I still hear it like thunder. β
Just as I was about to call out his name, the boss came over with steaming dumplings and placed them on our table. The old man called Hanako and said in a low voice: "Let's eat first, if it's superfluous, I'll talk about it when I'm full." β
In a cold voice, with an unmistakable tone, I smiled and closed my mouth. It was a very stuffy meal, and I waited for him to finish it, and he seemed to be very hungry, and swallowed it like a hot dumpling, and after eating a plate, he said to me, "How did you tell who I am?" When you saw the calluses in my palms just now, it should just be to verify what you think. β
I smiled and replied, "If a person is a master, if he kills enough people, he will have a fierce aura on his body, and this fierce aura can be turned into murderous aura, but it can also degenerate into war intent." But it will not disappear for the rest of your life, from the moment you walked into the door, I felt the breath on your body, I thought there was a master, but I saw that it was an old flower child. Naturally, I set my eyes on you, your legs and feet are nimble, there is nothing wrong with you, but you are still holding a wooden stick, why? Because instead of using it as a stick, you think of it as a sword. This is a habit left by swordsmen who have carried a sword with them for many years, and then there is your white messy hair, although it is very messy, but it is not withered, on the contrary, because of the nourishment of spiritual power, your white hair looks very smoothβ― As mentioned above, an older generation of masters who use a sword, full of white hair, and have disappeared for many years, plus I have a part of Luo Yan's memory, after seeing your face, I naturally know who you are. Senior Ouyang Zi, as a super master of the Demon Sword School, you disappeared in that world, what happened? β
He held the wine glass, and when he heard me shout the three words "Ouyang Zi", his fingers unconsciously crushed the wine glass, which attracted the attention of the boss, Ouyang Zi stood up silently and said to me: "I don't know what Ouyang Zi is, I'm just an old man named Huazi, thank you for inviting me and this glass of wine." I'm leaving, though. β
Ouyang Zi didn't admit his identity, even if he was pierced by me, he still chose to escape, took out a crumpled ten yuan from his arms and put it on the table, then turned around and walked out of the dumpling restaurant.
I also left the money and followed, Ouyang Zi walked in front, and I followed behind. He obviously noticed my tracking, but he couldn't shake me off, and I kept following him into a small alley, and he finally turned around and shouted at me, "What the hell are you trying to do?" I said it, I don't know any Ouyang Zi, I'm just an old man named Hanako! β
In the dark alley, no one passed by, I sighed and whispered, "Is it because you killed your own apprentice with your own hands that you have become what you are now?" β
