Chapter 054: Gambling on the plane
"Seriously?" I laughed, Riley actually said that I can do whatever I want, and a filthy shot flashed in my head, after all, in the face of such a mature and beautiful woman, which man would not be emotional? What man wouldn't think otherwise?
Rational thinking kept me calm, though, but I didn't expect Riley to seem to be able to read minds, and she took a fancy to what I was thinking.
Suddenly, she looked angry and said, "I really didn't expect you to be such a person!"
She threw the Nanhua Sutra in her hand onto me, and then got up to leave.
I didn't know why, so I immediately reached out and took her hand and asked her why.
She said angrily: "You know the reason yourself!"
Only then did I recall the scenes at Tom's Cafe, and knew that I had completely lost my temper this time, so I immediately apologized.
Fortunately, Riley is a foreign woman, not as reserved as a Chinese woman, and Riley still sat down after my apology.
So, I said, "If you don't answer my question, you promise me one thing, and as for what it is, I'll talk about it later, okay?"
"What if I answered them all?" Riley asked me rhetorically.
"Then I'll promise you one thing! That's fair, right?" I said resolutely.
Riley agreed to my offer.
She stared at me in a serious manner, and I was suddenly embarrassed and didn't know where to start.
After about two or three minutes, the two of them were silent face to face, and it took a long time for her to urge me to ask as soon as possible. Because of Riley's urging next to me, I was even more uneasy, so I said casually: "Who was the first emperor of China?"
"Qin Shi Huang." Riley replied without hesitation.
I'm weird, this chick really has two hits, and she can answer Qin Shi Huang without hesitation. As soon as Riley's question was answered, I asked a second question:
"Who was the last emperor of China?"
"Love Xin Jueluo Puyi."
"Who wrote the Nanhua Sutra in my hand?"
"Zhuangzi."
"What's Zhuangzi's name?"
"Zhuang Zhou."
I was speechless, in the face of Riley's answers, I suddenly felt a little empty, and my little heart was pounding, it seems that my previous questions were too simple, I had to give her a more difficult question.
"Do you know what my uncle's name is?" My mind was spinning, and this question popped up.
Although his uncle Ma Xiaoyuan is quite famous in the exorcism world, he has always been very low-key, and if I don't say it, she won't necessarily know.
Riley didn't answer as quickly as she had before, she put her right hand on the pulse of my left hand, and closed her eyes in contemplation.
After only a minute, she opened her eyes and said, "Ma Xiaoyuan." She answered the correct answer that my uncle's name was Ma Xiaoyuan completely accurate.
I was dumbfounded, this kid can't really read minds, right?
To prevent Riley from using mind-reading to get answers, I removed her hand and moved to one side, taking a seat away from Riley.
Riley smiled but didn't say anything.
I asked, "Then tell me, what are the four major inventions in China?"
"Papermaking, compass, gunpowder, movable type printing." Riley answered without hesitation this time.
"You little girl really has some skills!" After listening to Riley's answer, I thought to myself, this Riley seems to have a thorough study of Chinese culture, I can't test her with ancient China anymore, I have to come up with something out of the way to test her.
But what shall I say? She could read minds, so she could read what was going on in my mind, and I had to ask a question to which I didn't know the answer. Does her mind-reading skills work?
Thinking about it, I smiled and said, "Now I'll ask you one last question, if you can answer it, I'll admit defeat!"
Riley didn't have my fancy guts, and she agreed without even thinking about it. In her eyes, she herself is a China expert, and there is nothing she doesn't know.
I looked into Riley's eyes, and it was a long time before the question of staying in the immortal flashed in my mind.
I asked Riley nervously, what is the identity of the long-staying immortal?
The reason why I'm worried is because I don't know the identity of Changliu Shangxian, and if Riley asks me the answer because she doesn't know the answer, I can't tell, how embarrassing would it be?
Riley looked at me blankly for a moment, and I smiled at Riley apprehensively but pretending to be calm. Riley seemed to sigh softly, and she closed her eyes and thought for a long, long time before she opened them.
I asked Riley, did you find the answer?
Riley eventually shook her head.
She replied very directly: "I don't know what the identity of Changliu Shangxian is, I lost." ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, I don't know whether to be happy or sad, after all, I won a game by luck because of a conspiracy.
Instead of asking me what the real answer was, as I thought, Riley said directly, "Say, what do you want me to do?" If I can do it, I'll help you do it. ”
"This" I really didn't know what to do with Riley, after all, the conditions at the time were just that.
Seeing that I hesitated, Riley said, "Now that we have all gone to China, and we are both exorcists, we will definitely have the opportunity to meet again in the future." Since you don't think of what you want me to do right now, wait until you think about it before you tell me!"
Riley got up and was about to leave.
Just when Riley just got up, the stereo in the cabin of the plane suddenly released a beautiful ballad of "Lu Binghua":
Thinking of her mother's words every night, Lu Binghua flashed with tears
The stars in the sky don't speak, and the dolls on the ground miss their mothers
The eyes of the sky blinked, and my mother's heart was Lu Binghua
The tea plantations in my hometown are full of flowers, and my mother's heart and liver are at the end of the world
Thinking of her mother's words every night, Lu Binghua flashed with tears
"What's going on?" Riley's face changed dramatically, and her hand unconsciously touched the music box on her body.
"What's wrong?" I didn't understand why Riley was so panicked all of a sudden, "It's just a nursery rhyme, you don't need to be so panicked, right?"
Riley didn't answer my words, but opened the music box.
"Riley, this ballad is called "Lu Binghua", Lu Binghua is the theme song of the 1989 movie of the same name, and the original song is Zeng Shuqin. Zhen Ni sang this song in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 1991, and because of the addition of children's singing, it quickly became popular all over the country, making it one of Zhen Ni's masterpieces"
"Lawrence—" Riley interrupted me, exclaiming, "Lawrence is gone!"
"What?" I was shocked, but I didn't expect my previous fears to take effect, and Lawrence's anger broke through the aura of Riley's covered rune and wandered around the plane.
"Oops!" I said, "This can't be Lawrence's singing, is it?"
Riley nodded.
"We need to get to the airplane studio and stop her!" I immediately got up and pulled Riley to the studio.
