"Do you know how to drive?" I was thinking about the question I had discussed with Professor Chen at the graduate school.

I heard Bai Yi, who was driving beside me, ask me.

"No, it won't."

I replied to her without turning my head, and at the same time very unhappy that she had interrupted my mind that had just sorted out some clues.

When I came out of Professor Chen's research institute, it was already the middle of the night, and after I got into the black Land Rover that Bai Yi was driving, I had been thinking about what Professor Chen said to me later.

"Are the flowers okay?"

This is the content of a letter sent by Yamamoto Bridge to Xin Yan from Japan.

It's hard to understand what is contained in just five words.

Professor Chen gave his own interpretation of these five words.

However, his explanation is based on the idea that Yamamoto Bridge has been possessed by the grim-faced woman.

After returning to China, Yamamoto Bridge behaved strangely, often visiting women's stores, and buying some feminine products, all of which Professor Chen took as evidence that he was possessed by the woman.

In the letter sent to Xin Yan, the meaning of "Are the flowers okay" in Yamamoto Bridge's view, in Professor Chen's opinion, is because the woman who possessed Yamamoto Bridge was still thinking about the cannibal flowers and blood vines in the cave, and then asked Xin Yan about the situation of those cannibal flowers.

This explanation is a bit far-fetched, but it also has some plausibility.

However, I am not sure that Professor Chen's explanation is correct, and I even have considerable doubts about what Professor Chen said.

The first thing that makes people wonder is what happened to the person who received the letter from Yamamoto Bridge in China, who looked exactly like the missing student of Professor Chen, and whose name was exactly the same?

The two photos were taken nearly half a century apart, but the people on them look exactly the same, and there is no sign of aging.

It's really incredible, and I can't figure it out.

However, in the graduate school, Professor Chen and I have made the same judgment that Xin Yan must be the same person in the two photos, and it is not a coincidence that the same name and surname are the same.

But after this conclusion is reached, the question arises, how did Xingyan keep himself from getting old for half a century?

Moreover, how did the recipient of Yamamoto Bridge become a student of Professor Chen?

Xin Yan, who will not grow old for half a century, will he have mastered some secret art of immortality?

I sat in the passenger seat, my head down, and I couldn't stop thinking about this in my heart. Seeing that I was thinking about the problem with my head down and frowning, Bai Yi didn't speak again.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, I raised my head and stared out of the dark car window to sort out my thoughts, and asked Bai Yi.

"Then I'm going to ask you about something."

When Bai Yi heard my inquiry, she turned her head to look at me and didn't say anything, but there was an expression on her face that was obviously waiting for me to ask.

"Before, didn't you pretend to be the palace maid Ai Shuang in the Tai Chi Palace, your palace maid played quite successfully, even I didn't see any flaws, the acting skills are superb, absolutely first-class," I said to Bai Yi with a halu ha.

"Whatever you want, just say it." Bai Yi replied expressionlessly.

"That's right." I coughed softly and continued.

"We have seen a lot of coffins in the Taiji Palace, what are the contents of those coffins?"

"Didn't I tell you? Those coffins were filled with Ai Shuang's past life, but because every time Ai Shuang died, Xi Jing would resurrect her again. So there was no real body in the coffin, just some clothes as a mound for clothing. ”

Bai Yi replied as he drove the car and looked ahead.

"Is all this true? How do you know the Tao? I narrowed my eyes and asked Bai Yi next.

"The real Ai Frost didn't die immediately after we brought it out, and we got a lot of useful clues from her mouth, otherwise how could I lead you to the entrance to the Hall of Dreams? All of this is known from the mouth of the real mugwort. ”

"!"

I suddenly shouted, and the clean verb made Bai Yi frown again, and glanced at me with displeasure.

I didn't notice the look on her face, but continued loudly.

"Let's make a hypothesis!" I turned my head to Bai Yi and said, and without waiting for her to answer, I continued to speak.

"If you didn't scold me, what you said in the Taiji Palace was Aishuang's original words"

"No ifs. It's all the truth. Before I could finish speaking, Bai Yi interrupted me, and the expression on his face looked even more ugly.

"Okay," I nodded.

"According to what you just said, it's according to what Ai Shuang said, she can live in that Taiji Palace for a thousand years, not because she has anything special about herself, but every time she dies, she will be resurrected by Xi Jing, and the person who really has the ability to bring people back to life is Xi Jing."

"Yes." Bai Yi looked ahead and nodded.

"Then what do these two Xin Yan, who are half a world apart, make you think of?"

Hearing me say this, Bai Yi's brows furrowed, and his expression instantly became solemn.

"What do you mean" After thinking about it, Bai Yi opened his mouth to answer me.

"This Xin Yan, like Ai Shuang, was brought back from the dead?"

"At least that's possible." I nodded.

"Who will be the one who will resurrect him?" Bai Yi then asked me.

"Yamamoto Bridge is the only person who escaped from that cave, now I agree with your Lao Tzu's hypothesis, this Yamamoto Bridge is really likely to be possessed by the woman in the cave, if this is the case, according to that woman's ability, plus she always communicates with Xin Yan, then the person who resurrected Xin Yan is likely to be her"

"So both of them have the ability to resurrect people, do you think this woman will be what we are looking for, your former lover - Xi Jing?"

Faced with Bai Yi's most difficult question, I didn't answer.

In fact, in my heart, I don't want to admit that Xi Jing is the woman with a cold face, in Nozu Nami's account, that woman is cruel and even has a heinous perversion, such a woman has nothing to imagine at all with the Xi Jing in my memory.

However, the assumptions that Bai Yi and I made just now clearly reminded me that this is indeed possible

I didn't speak again, closed my eyes and leaned back on the saddle and pretended to sleep.

Maybe everything will have an answer after we find Xijing, I hope that this revisit to the sad place will bring me not only sadness, but also other gains.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but curse Bai Yi in my heart again.

"This girl, I want to go back to the place where I used to live with Xi Jing to take a look, she has to follow me, and I don't know what Lu Dao has in mind, does she want to see Lao Tzu cry uncontrollably? How could Lao Tzu be so unproductive! ”

However, getting closer and closer to the place where I once lived with Xi Jing, I did involuntarily feel a faint sadness in my heart, this road to her home, I have walked many times in the car, quite familiar, but never once is the same mood as me at this moment.

Seeing things and thinking about feelings, the beauty is no more
