Taking a deep breath, Wen Ling said slowly: "You know, I have a hobby outside of business, that is, chess, and Mr. Gao also has a lot of experience in this regard. That year, my family's fleet of ships in the South China Sea saw a set of antiquities on an island, and it was rumored that they were chessboards and chess pieces used by immortals. I didn't dare to specialize in beauty, so I happened to visit Gao's house in the near future, so I simply brought it with me, and planned to invite Mr. Gao to taste it together. ”

"Oh, that's it, I remember ......" Father Gao patted his head and nodded: "When you came that year, you did bring a pair of ancient chess, and the old man was very happy to see it, and pulled you to play until late at night." ”

"Yes, this time, Brother Gao really remembered. ”

Wen Ling continued: "Old Man Gao was overjoyed when he saw me bring this thing, and asked me to simply stay with him and kill me all night." It is summer, the night is extremely beautiful, the full moon is in the sky, the breeze is gentle, the lotus leaves in the lotus pond in the courtyard are connected, and the dark fragrance is full. Looking at this scene, the old man sighed at the beauty of the heavens, became more and more interested, and ordered someone to make wine and food, not only to play a game, but also to get drunk. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone at the table couldn't help but smile, as if there was also the quiet and clear night in front of them, and two people with common hobbies.

"I was playing chess and drinking with the old man, and before I knew it was late at night, and the people who were serving were all driven away by the old man, and the two of us in the courtyard were not particular about the rules, and we sat on the porch barefoot with open clothes. The old man drank a lot, his face turned red, and his movements with chess pieces were a little floaty, and I was not much better. At this time, just after the end of the game, my mind relaxed, and suddenly asked him: Why don't you help the Wang family?"

"The Wang family...... Old Man Gao was stunned, looked up at the zenith, and suddenly smiled at me mysteriously, saying: I tell you a secret, you are not allowed to tell others. To be honest, he really didn't look like a steady head of a big family at that time, but like a naughty teenager, I don't know if he would offend the old man by saying this, but at that moment, I really saw a sense of fun on his face, a kind of pride when he showed the secret treasures to others, and even showed off. ”

Hearing this, the whole audience was more concentrated, leaning forward slightly, and Song Yi was no exception, he knew that the key part was coming.

"That's what the old man told me......"

The bright moon hung high, the cool breeze was refreshing, and the old man Gao stared at Wenling opposite, his slightly drunken face was a little red.

"Some time ago, I went on a trip out of town, you know. ”

"I've heard a little about it, you seem to be going to the imperial capital?"

"Not bad. When I was in Kyoto, I happened to be in time for an art exhibition, and the paintings were sold to the public after the exhibition, and if they could afford it, they could take it with them. I took a fancy to one and bought it. ”

"What painting?"

"Immortal figure. The painting depicts a female fairy, the pen and ink are in the bones, vivid, really not the mortal fat powder in the world, fresh and sweet, full of aura. ”

"Oh, when you say that, I am also moved, I wonder if you can let me open my eyes and see this immortal map?"

“...... Without. ”

"What?"

"The painting is no longer there, I ...... I gave it away. ”

"Ah...... In this way, it seems that the other party is very attached to you, and can make you cut your love like this. ”

"It's not about falling in love, it's ...... Alas, when I think about it now, I feel like a ghost is obsessed, and I can't understand it, but when I think of what happened later, I feel that it is worth it in exchange for this immortal picture. ”

“...... What do you mean by that?"

"When I came back from the Imperial Palace, I met a man outside Gaojiabao, a wandering girl from nowhere, old and ugly, filthy, and insane. She yelled at me and danced as if she had fallen into an evil spirit. The servants tried to beat her away, but I suddenly felt compassion, and seeing her like this, I must have known the warmth of the world, so I ordered that no one should beat her, and brought her some food, and gave her some clean clothes. Unexpectedly, she was not satisfied with the food and clothing, and stretched out her hand to me again, pointing to the painting in my hand - not afraid of your jokes, since I bought this picture, I often think about it, I still look at it in the car, and when I get out of the car, I also hold it casually, and I end up staring at her. ”

“...... Could it be that you will paint it to her?"

"Yes, for her. I don't know what I was thinking, but when I looked into her eyes, a thought suddenly came to my mind, and I felt that I should give her the painting, so I handed it to her. The people around me were shocked, but I gave it to me personally, and they couldn't say anything. The woman took the food, clothing, and paintings, and limped away. ”

"This ...... It's really strange that you actually gave a painting that you bought for a lot of money to a demented and decrepit homeless girl?"

"Yes, I don't understand either, not long after I got home, that thought disappeared, regret and irritability wrapped me, I went to bed at night, tossed and turned, and finally fell asleep, and then ...... I dreamed. ”

"Dream ......"

"It's an immortal dream. ”

"Immortals in a dream?!"

"Yes, I dreamed of the fairy in the painting, and I saw the picture falling from the sky and slowly unfolding in front of my eyes, and then the fairy came down from the painting, and bowed to me, thanking me for the grace of love, saying that she had long wanted to leave the imperial capital, and thanking me for bringing her out. Then the fairy said that in return for my kindness, she would give me one thing. I listened carefully, and saw the fairy's fingers fluttering, and another picture appeared in front of my eyes, in which I saw the Wang family......"

"The Wang family?"

"I saw the old man of the Wang family, the two young masters of his family, and some other people sitting around for dinner, happy and peaceful. Then, this picture gradually receded and became farther away, and I could see the entire Wang family's mansion, as well as his family's acres and woodland...... At this time, I suddenly saw a wisp of black qi approaching the Wang family, growing stronger and more vigorous, until the entire Wang family was covered in it, but everyone in their family always acted as usual, as if they were ignorant of this black qi. Seeing such a scene, I shuddered, instinctively scared, but did not understand what it meant. At this time, the fairy told me that the Wang family had caused something terrible and could not be saved, and asked me not to have any more dealings with them. ”

“...... Is there such a thing?"

"I don't understand, I had the courage to ask the fairy what was going on, but she only told me that the big changes are coming, when self-preservation is the first, the Wang family will have a catastrophe in a few days, but this catastrophe is not the end, just a beginning, you two have always had a friendship, but if you are too deeply involved, you will even destroy the Gao family, it is better to watch from the sidelines. I was more and more confused, my heart was pounding, the Wang family and my family have a good relationship, if they really suffered, how could I ignore it? At this time, the fairy danced with long sleeves, and I saw that the Wang family all looked sluggish, the black gas in their eyebrows and eyes was faint, and the corners of their mouths were bloodstained, which frightened me into a daze, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: Our two families have made a marriage to the juniors. ”

"That's right, I heard that the Yulan girl of your family and the second young master of the Wang family were not ordered as soon as they were born?"

The fairy was stunned for a moment when she heard me say this, and said that I can't do anything about it, so you can do it yourself. I saw that she was going to let go, panicked, knelt down and begged, she thought about it again, and said Since your ancestors have produced extraordinary people, even if they have immortal fate, then there should be a place to turn around, and then let's talk about it, but before that day comes, you have to remember my words and don't meddle in the affairs of the Wang family. When she was done, she went back to the painting, and I woke up. ”

“...... You really ...... to the Wang family because of this dream."

"It's not a dream, I'm sure, it's not an ordinary dream. I can't explain this feeling to you, if I were a cultivator, I might be able to touch the doorway, but I'm a businessman, I don't understand this, and it's not easy to talk to others, even I think it's a bit ridiculous, but in my heart, I realize that I really believe it. Not long after, the Wang family really suffered as the fairy said, and the letters asking for help were sent one after another, and I hardened my heart, didn't read it, didn't care. ”

Hearing this, the guests showed surprised and understanding looks, and whispers rang out in the banquet.

Someone whispered, "I see." However, why did the old man have to stay behind and make a promise? If he was cold and hard to the end, he would not be able to tell the truth and ...... again."

"It's unbearable, after all, I have been friends with the Wang family for so many years. ”

"The fairy only said not to help the Wang family when they were in trouble, but she didn't say that she couldn't promise the Wang family anything afterwards, after all, the old man was old and soft-hearted, and when he saw the loss ......of his beloved son in the Wang family, he couldn't bear it for a while, and it was reasonable to be relieved."

"Then it's really fate, bad fate, bad fate. ”

After talking about this, Wen Ling let out a long breath, as if he had just woken up from a dream, his eyes slowly swept over the audience, looked at the full clothes, and said with emotion: "That's the way it is." When the old man talked to me about it back then, I didn't take it seriously, until the Wang family was in trouble and knew that he was serious, but I still had some doubts...... And yesterday, when I watched the flying sand and rocks on the martial arts arena with my own eyes, especially those few black qi generals of the Li family...... I don't believe it. ”

After saying this, he looked at Song Yi, as if he wanted to ask the only cultivator in the seat to say a few words, but found that Song Yi's eyebrows were tightly locked, thoughtful, and surprised: "Song Shaoxia, what do you know?"

"I ......"

Song Yi can be sure that there is a vein in these things that links the cause and effect, but now, this vein is still too deep to be grasped.

After thinking about it, he turned his head and asked Gao Cheng: "When you burned the Heavenly Inquiry Fu to teach the passing immortals, what kind of sound did you hear in your head, Senior Brother?"

"It's a fairy. Gao Cheng said: "It seems to be just the right age, and the voice is crisp and mellow, which is very pleasant." ”

"That's right. Song Yi nodded and said to everyone: "The voice of the immortal that Brother Gao heard should be the fairy in the painting that the old man saw, she had a chance with the old man of the Gao family, so she would give advice when the Wang family came to attack for the first time, but I don't know where this immortal is now, and how ......."

Speaking of this, Song Yi was suddenly stunned, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind-

Wait, immortals......
