The wind and rain came suddenly.

Sometimes the sky is beautiful, and there is a thunderclap in the clear sky, and the downpour is coming in an instant.

Gray clouds piled up and fell from all directions. Looking out the window, there is gloomy chaos, and the occasional lightning shuttles like a snake, and the distance is almost tentacle, which is nothing less than the apocalyptic scene imagined by mortals. The surrounding scenery is completely hidden, and it seems that only this restaurant is left between heaven and earth.

And that thunder hit the tail note of Xu Chaoke's word "Nine Generations".

It's really a good atmosphere, and it's the most suitable thing to talk about some major events in the world, such as "changing the direction of the world" and "witnessing the turning point of history". However, Lu Qiming and Xu Chaoke looked at each other without saying a word for a long time, but they couldn't help laughing one after the other - without him, this scene is too much like the storyteller waking up to the wood.

These two are not scholarly characters with a straight temperament in nature, and they can't help but make some mistakes when talking about serious things on weekdays. Although Fang Cai is indeed extremely serious, the "atmosphere" is too much -- just a few words, but there is a big battle of "turbulence" and "demonic spirit" around him, which makes people inevitably feel a little embarrassed by hypocrisy. This thunder made them jump out of the strange circle, and they were really relaxed, and they almost forgot the topic for a while.

Heavy rain swept through the sky, and the wooden tables and chairs were soon covered with a layer of fine water droplets.

Lu Qiming got up and closed the window, brushed the cold moisturization of his fingertips, and asked Xu Chaoke with a smile: "Don't shelter from the wind and rain - but is the restaurant owner here unique in interest?"

The restaurants in Yeliang City, especially the restaurants on the eleventh floor of Yeliang, are really rare to see without using formations to avoid thunderstorms.

At this time, the new sake "Mutsuki" happened to be on the scene. The quality of the wine is crystal clear, and it suddenly adds a touch of brightness in this rainy day, as if it has gathered the cold moonlight into the wine.

Xu Chaoke filled a glass of self-drinking, raised the wine jug and shook it twice at Lu Qiming, and proposed, "Why don't you really have it?"

Lu Qiming smiled and declined, and when he sat down and spoke again, he was no longer so polite. "I always thought that Momoyama was the forerunner of kendo and even the human race, but I didn't know that my predecessors would be so self-deceptive. ”

Xu Chaoke became more and more interested, and sat up straight and asked him, "What do you say?"

Lu Qiming said softly: "If you talk about the dispute between martial arts and spirits, the world has been in chaos for too long. But the predecessors only warned one person today, isn't it self-deception?"

"Messy, yes. Xu Chaoke said coldly: "But it must be the 'chaos' of the normal changes of the times, and it must not be the director of your outsiders." ”

Lu Qiming couldn't help but smile and said calmly: "The seniors said they were laughing." Leaving aside whether the chosen person is involuntary or not, the more important fact is that it is not precisely because of the existence of such people, because of some special significance, that the Martial Sect and the Spirit Alliance can maintain a reluctant balance today. Isn't it?"

"There are really different ways of saying it. Xu Chaoke sneered and said lightly: "You are the ninth generation, and you are naturally oriented towards yourself, and there is no justice at all." ”

"It's that I didn't make it clear. Lu Qiming paused and said, "What I said before, it was only because I admired the demeanor of Han Qianshan's predecessors in the Yin Sect that I couldn't help but say some of my own opinions in private. ”

"Han Qianshan, Eight Generations?" Xu Chaoke raised his eyebrows and said with a chuckle: "No matter how you used to cultivate geometry, but now, I suggest that you don't try to change the subject." Tell us about yourself. ”

"Me?"

Lu Qiming smiled inexplicably and said, "Then there is nothing to say." ”

This sentence itself is very similar to provocation, but Lu Qiming's tone is extremely sincere.

Xu Chaoke didn't hurry to speak first, but only drank another cup of "Muyue" and waited for him to follow.

"Born in a secular family in Middle-earth, he was a student and lecturer in Zhongwu, and he never communicated with any family except the Taoist Academy--my predecessors already knew about this, right?" Lu Qiming asked.

Xu Chaoke bowed his head and did not deny that he had investigated these contents.

"That's just the way it is.

"At present, my understanding of the personnel of the Divine Domain only comes from the inheritance memories and a few records of the Central Continent Branch. Lu Qiming teased himself: "As for the ones that the predecessors are looking forward to hearing, even if you pick up a history book in the Divine Domain and read it, you will know far more than I know." ”

Xu Chaoke touched his chin and played with the taste: "Can I understand that you are very dissatisfied with the Spirit Alliance?"

Lu Qiming shook his head and smiled, and said softly: "Just like the words of the predecessors at the beginning." The word 'not needed' is also often mutual. ”

Xu Chaoke smiled dumbly: "It's very confident!" But after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that until now, Lu Qiming had not admitted his identity positively in words, but he had inadvertently revealed many things that tended to be clear.

Xu Chaoke looked at Lu Qiming for a long time, and said sarcastically: "Are you from a mortal family...... I've heard that they were taught by their elders from an early age not to have a deep relationship with others - and from this point of view, you look like it. ”

Lu Qiming laughed.

His gaze remained calm, and he suddenly spoke: "There is one thing that I hope to reach a consensus with my seniors. ”

Xu Chaoke smiled: "Oh? Then I'll wait." ”

Lu Qiming said: "Since the beginning, the position of me and my predecessors has never been equal, and I can't make mistakes if I don't say it, and once I open my mouth, no matter what the content, this speech will have such a premise - my predecessors will definitely not believe me."

Therefore it is not to win the trust of others.

"The only reason I chose to say so much was because of a mutual friend. I don't want to deceive Xie Yundu, that's all. ”

Listening to these words, the sneering smile on the corner of Xu Chaoke's mouth gradually rose, and he drank in silence.

Lu Qiming continued: "I really don't have the ability to answer what my predecessors want to know, and the person I really talk to is another person. So today's remarks, the seniors have heard and laughed, so why really think twice and add to the unhappiness?"

He said that, and Xu Chaoke did not speak again. There was silence between the two again.

There was still rain and thunder outside, but the sound was more muffled by the window.

The chairs in the tavern weren't comfortable, and it was hard to sit back loosely. The closed panes block the view of the people in the room, and they do not have a pleasant view. There were a few wine pots and teacups on the table, and they were all placed in Xu Chaoke's hand.

In the long silence, you can neither look away nor bow your head to drink tea - this is often a very alumsy situation. But Lu Qiming sat calmly, his demeanor was as usual, as if this was what people should be. In this way, Xu Chaoke, who was drinking wine one by one, did not seem to be very calm in his heart.

Lu Qiming was waiting.

Wait for the conversation to start again, or end there.
