Chapter 17: See the Old Man Again
6 March 2000.
Inside a jewellery store in Wan Chai.
A handsome man in a white sweater, with medium-length hair and a pair of brown glasses, sat at the counter with a very sincere look on his face.
Beside him and at the counter opposite, three salesmen stood stiff, their heads hung and silent, their faces full of fear.
They were surrounded by four other men, one of whom sat face to face with the handsome man, his right hand resting on the counter, covered by a beige coat.
The handsome man said to the man opposite with a nervous look and panting with sincerity: "Do you believe that there is a past life and this life?" I believe it. ”
"So I regret every time I do something wrong, I hope that the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva can give me a chance to mend my ways, and I hope that time can be turned back."
"But when I close my eyes, another second passes, and when I open my eyes again, not only does time not stop, but it passes by second by second."
"I often say to myself, God bless, it doesn't matter if you do something wrong, the most important thing is to give yourself a chance to turn back."
"I can do it, and so can you."
With that, he lifted his left hand, which was outside the coat on the counter, and gently patted the bulge in the center of the coat.
Besides, Tianyou's movements made the other three men look nervous, and they subconsciously moved forward.
Seeing that there was no change in the situation, they also pressed down.
"God forbid."
At this moment, a gentle female voice suddenly sounded, making Guo Tianyou and several men turn their heads to look at each other.
It was an innocent beauty with a melon seed face.
She has a shawl of hair, jet black and soft, a pair of round rimless myopia glasses on her face, a brown professional dress on the top, and a pair of slim-fitting trousers on the bottom.
The whole person's temperament is soft and weak, gentle and intellectual, and when people see her, they will involuntarily pop up the words "good wife and good mother" in their minds.
At this time, she had a look of surprise on her face, and walked to Guo Tianyou's side with brisk steps.
She didn't notice the solemn atmosphere at all, and sat down on the stool next to Guo Tianyou.
"It's really you!"
Guo Tianyou smiled and said, "Yes! Didn't I make an appointment with you to see you at the entrance of the mall at three o'clock? ”
Wang Zhenzhen said with a smile: "I arrived early and wanted to buy something." ”
Guo Tianyou hurriedly said: "Then you go buy it now!" ”
Wang Zhenzhen said coquettishly: "People see you here!" Shopping? ”
Guo Tianyou comforted the increasingly nervous man opposite with his eyes, and replied casually: "Yes, buy something." ”
"For me?"
"For you."
"A birthday present?"
"It's a birthday present."
The more Wang Zhenzhen spoke, the happier she became, and she was about to uncover the coat on the counter, "Take a look." ”
Guo Tianyou's heart tightened, and he hurriedly grabbed his coat tightly, "Don't look at it yet." ”
"Take a look!"
"I'll see it when I get home."
Wang Zhenzhen said coquettishly: "Oh, take a look." ”
"Don't! Good, go back and see ......"
While the two were pulling, the coat was finally pulled away by Wang Zhenzhen, and the atmosphere of the scene instantly froze.
When the coat was removed, two pistols pointed at each other were revealed.
In his hand is the Smith & Wesson M10, which is the so-called Dot 38 revolver.
In the hands of the robbers was a high-powered 11.43 mm caliber Colt M1911 semi-automatic pistol.
Wang Zhenzhen was stunned on the spot, her heart jumped, she seemed to ...... Did something stupid?
Guo Tianyou looked at Wang Zhenzhen, and then at the robber opposite, with an embarrassed smile on his face, pretending to be casual and laughing: "My girlfriend." ”
Wang Zhenzhen didn't know what to think, so she raised her hand to greet the robber, "Hello." ”
The next moment, the atmosphere at the scene exploded, and Huo Ran, the bandit leader opposite Tianyou, got up, pointed the pistol in his hand at Wang Zhenzhen, and shouted excitedly: "Put down the gun, or I will shoot her." ”
The other three robbers also raised their pistols at this time, two pointed at Guo Tianyou, one at Wang Zhenzhen, and the three salesmen immediately squatted down with their heads in their hands.
"Don't be impulsive, I'll let you go, robbery is one thing, killing someone is another thing entirely, don't be impulsive."
Guo Tianyou took the initiative to put the gun on the counter, stepped aside, and raised his hands with Wang Zhenzhen.
He is actually wearing body armor, if he is the only one, even if he really can't get along, it's a big deal to fight with the other party, and he may not lose with his skills.
But Wang Zhenzhen was involved, so he had to choose from his heart.
Wang Zhenzhen hung her head with guilt on her face and whispered, "I'm sorry, God bless." ”
Guo Tianyou smiled indifferently, and said gently: "It's okay, silly girl." ”
Seeing this, the robber secretly breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the handbag containing gold, silver and jewelry and walked out of the counter, and the muzzle of the gun never left Tianyou and Wang Zhenzhen.
The leader said nervously: "Don't chase after you, otherwise I will really shoot." ”
Guo Tianyou said helplessly: "Hurry up and go!" ”
Just as the robbers were about to leave the gold shop, a pair of handsome men and beautiful women suddenly walked into the store with a smile.
The man is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and he looks tall and extraordinary.
The hairstyle is a relatively popular four or six points at the end of the twentieth century, and a handsome face is more attractive than the four kings of Hong Kong.
The woman wears a pale yellow cardigan inside, with a pair of gray casual trousers, and a long blue tweed trench coat on the outside, revealing her proud figure.
The hair full of green silk is also combed, and a vertical ponytail is tied to the back of the head, which looks beautiful and sassy.
When the two entered the store, they saw the robber with a pistol and a handbag, and their faces were surprised.
Behind the robbers, Guo Tianyou raised an index finger to the two and made a silent motion, while Wang Zhenzhen waved to them lightly and said "go quickly" with his mouth in a silent voice.
Xiaoqing turned his head to look at Li Fei and said with interest: "Are we robbed?" ”
Li Fei looked at Guo Tianyou, and the corners of his mouth curled, "It seems to be so." ”
After saying that, he said to the four robbers: "You guys are ready to leave?" ”
Guo Tianyou and Wang Zhenzhen looked at the two of them with stunned faces, did this pair of handsome guys and beauties have a brain problem, or did they have no fear?
The robbers nervously pointed their guns at the two, and the bandit leader shouted, "If you don't want to die, get out of the way, don't meddle with things." ”
Li Fei shrugged, raised his hands, and Xiaoqing stepped aside, and said, "We're just here to buy something, please feel free." ”
When the robbers saw that the two of them were out of the way, they would pay attention to them, and hurriedly walked out of the door.
Just as they were about to pass Li Fei and Xiaoqing, a sudden change occurred, and the two suddenly reached out at lightning speed, each grabbing the arm of a robber holding a gun.
After twisting and pulling, only a "click" was heard, and the arm joints of the two people had been removed, and the pistols were suddenly taken off.
Before the pain could reach their brains, the two had already released their arms and approached the second person.
"Click"
There were two more crisp sounds, and all four pistols fell to the ground.
"Ahhh......h
At this time, the two who were unloaded first finally felt the sharp pain that pierced their hearts, and hugged their arms and screamed.
Moreover, Tianyou's reaction was not slow, and after the four of them were shot down by Li Fei and Xiaoqing, they immediately rushed forward.
He kicked the pistol aside on the ground, then unleashed his grip and knocked all four robbers to the ground.
But he only had a pair of handcuffs, so he had to handcuff the bandit leader and another robber together.
Wang Zhenzhen's help Tianyou picked up the matching gun and handed it to him.
With a gun in hand, Guo Tianyou made up his mind and said to Wang Zhenzhen: "Zhenzhen, call the police." ”
"Oh."
Wang Zhenzhen hurriedly took out her mobile phone and dialed 999 to call the police.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
After Tianyou made a neat operation and controlled the robbers, Li Fei applauded and smiled: "The police officer is good. ”
Guo Tianyou looked at Li Fei and Xiaoqing, and praised: "You are even more powerful, thanks to the two of you this time, thank you very much." ”
Li Fei said: "You're welcome, it's the duty of citizens to cooperate with the police in handling cases!" ”
Guo Tianyou handed the gun to his left hand, stretched out his right hand to Li Fei, and said, "My name is Guo Tianyou." ”
"Li Fei." Li Fei shook hands with him, then tilted his head towards Xiaoqing and said, "This is my wife." ”
Guo Tianyou nodded to Xiaoqing and said, "I didn't expect Mrs. Li to be so good, so I took the liberty to ask, what do you two do?" ”
Li Fei took out a business card from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it to Guo Tianyou, and said with a smile: "We have a bar in Kowloon, and Officer Guo might as well bring his girlfriend over to sit when he is free." ”
Guo Tianyou looked at the business card, then put it in his pocket, and said, "We will go if we have the chance, Mr. Li and Mrs. Li have learned kung fu?" ”
Li Fei and Xiaoqing looked at each other and smiled, and said, "I have studied for many years." ”
Guo Tianyou said: "No wonder it's so powerful, I'm afraid I'll have to delay the two of you for a while, go to the police station to help make a record." ”
Li Fei raised his hand and looked at his watch, there was still plenty of time, so he said, "No problem." ”
After communicating with Guo Tianyou, Li Fei and Xiaoqing went to the counter inside, they were here to buy something, and the robbers could only be regarded as an episode for them.
The salesman was a little frightened, but business still had to be done.
One of them, a woman in a suit who seemed to be a manager, settled down, personally introduced the two of them, and accompanied them to choose.
When they came to the police station, Li Fei and Xiaoqing had already selected several pairs of earrings, several necklaces and pendants.
Because the two of them took down the robbers and avoided major losses in the store, the manager gave the two the biggest discount.
Then the two drove back to the police station with Guo Tianyou, which happened to be less than a kilometer away from the convention and exhibition center, which was very convenient.
Li Fei and Xiaoqing were going to the Convention and Exhibition Center to see the exhibition today, but it was still early, so they went shopping in Wan Chai first, and happened to encounter a jewelry store that was robbed.
Since Guo Tianyou was at the scene, he could not make a record of Li Fei and Xiaoqing, which was a regulation to avoid fraud.
Although this case is clearly understood, there is no fraud or fraud, and making a record is just a procedure to complete the closed loop of the case.
But rules are rules, and rules must be followed.
It was Guo Tianyou who called his partner, and a young police officer named Sonny was in charge of taking notes for them.
"Mr. and Mrs. Li, I just made a regular inquiry about you according to the procedure, and I have no other meaning, it is not the same thing as recording a confession, please don't mind."
Sonny explained with a smile before he began to take notes.
Li Fei bowed his head and said, "We understand, the police officer can just follow the rules." ”
Sonny happily prepared his notebook and pen and began to enter the process.
"Name."
"Li Fei, Cen Biqing."
Sonny hung his head and wrote their names in the notebook, neither of them noticing, and when they wrote the two names, Sonny's eyes flashed with surprise.
As one of the five-color messengers, he has lived since ancient times to the present, and he naturally has a certain understanding of the world-famous characters in each era.
These two names are actually very ordinary, but it is precisely that there are two world-famous figures in history who are called these two ordinary names.
Coupled with the fact that he can't see through these two people at all, it's already very telling.
Sonny is none other than the Yellow Messenger who represents jealousy among the five-color messengers.
However, he did not show any anomalous behavior, and quietly completed the transcription according to the procedure.
"Age."
"Twenty-three, twenty-one."
"Occupation."
"The owner of the bar."
"Home address."
"36 Jia Bing Tat Road, Kowloon City."
"Okay, Mr. Li, please describe the process of the jewelry store from your point of view."
"Today, my wife and I are going to go to the convention and exhibition center to see the exhibition, because we came out early, so we decided to go shopping in the neighborhood first, and when we passed by the jewelry store, we planned to go in and buy a few pieces of jewelry......
The case was not complicated, and the transcript was completed quickly, and Guo Tianyou and Sonny politely sent them out of the police station and thanked them repeatedly.
In the car, Xiaoqing said to Li Fei: "Ah Fei, there is a problem with that Officer Sonny, I can't see through him at all." ”
With her cultivation as the Tao, ordinary people can basically see through it at a glance in front of her, and those who can't even see through her are definitely not that simple.
Li Fei, who was driving, said with a smile: "There is indeed a problem, speaking of which, he is still the same kind as you and Xiaobai!" ”
Xiaoqing said in surprise: "You mean, he is also a snake clan?" ”
Of course, she herself could not call herself a basilisk, and in fact, she was no longer a basilisk now.
After a year of double cultivation with Li Fei, she made great progress in cultivating the Tao, and her life form was gradually changing.
Now if she appeared in her original form, she was no longer a snake, but had a little horn on her head, four legs under her body, and three claws on her feet.
Yes, Xiaoqing has evolved into Jiao.
With Li Fei's support, it was only a matter of time before she evolved into a green dragon.
In the realm, Xiaoqing has already reached the level of turning into a dragon, and in the twenty years of fighting with Fahai in the Black Wind Cave, although his cultivation has not improved, the realm of Taoism has skyrocketed.
In the final moments of the Batu Caves, the Dharma Appearance she evolved was already a green dragon, and finally killed the Garuda Bird that Fahai had evolved.
What she lacks now is just cultivation.
When she becomes an immortal, it will be the time for her to turn into a dragon.
"Yes, his original form is an ancient giant python, which is a kind of wild beast, so you naturally can't see through him."
The dragon is the ultimate evolutionary direction of snakes, but Huang Zi is different, he is not a demon, and he does not cultivate the path of immortals.
Strictly speaking, the five-colored envoy is a god, and it is the same way as the black water snake, which is a desolate beast, which is completely different from the immortal path.
No matter how long he lived, it would be impossible for him to turn into a dragon.
Xiaoqing was surprised when he heard this, the origin of this little policeman was so amazing, and he couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect him to choose to be a little policeman." ”
Li Fei smiled and said, "Experience life!" When you live for thousands of years, you will get bored, and you will want to experience all kinds of different lives, play role-playing or something. ”
Xiaoqing turned her head to look at him and said, "Then will you play with me then?" ”
Li Fei shrugged his shoulders and said: "Accompany, of course accompany, no matter what you want to do, I will accompany you, whether it is to move bricks at the construction site or to be a beggar, I will accompany you." ”
Xiaoqing smiled sweetly and rested her head on his shoulder, "You're so nice." ”
……
7:40 p.m.
In the parking lot of the Hong Kong International Convention and Exhibition Center, Xiaoqing took Li Fei's arm and walked towards the gate.
At this time, guests arrived one after another, either in twos and threes, or like Li Fei and Xiaoqing, they were a couple.
Suddenly, the sound of chatting not far from the side attracted Li Fei's attention.
"It's not me blowing to you, although my master is not a professional model, but with her figure and appearance, it is definitely glamorous."
"Hehe, what do you think I'm here to see today?"
Li Fei turned his head to look and saw two men walking side by side.
The one on the left is tall, about 1.9 meters tall, wearing a dark blue suit, walking with a tiger's step, quite heroic.
The person on the right is half a head shorter than the person on the left, only in his early sevens, with a shaved head, looking down.
Li Fei's eyes flashed slightly, not surprisingly, the little man should be Jin Zhengzhong, but the person next to him didn't seem to have this character in the original plot.
He secretly used his mana, and there was a faint flash of golden light in his eyes.
The next moment, he stopped and looked at the tall man's back, a smile on his face.
He stopped suddenly, and Xiaoqing looked at him strangely and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Fei smiled: "I met an old friend. ”
"Old friends?" Xiaoqing followed his line of sight, but found that the two backs were not anyone she knew, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Who?" ”
Li Fei didn't answer her words, but directly raised his voice and shouted: "Octopus." ”
The tall man's footsteps immediately paused, Huo Ran turned around, and when he saw Li Fei and Xiaoqing clearly, a look of surprise and joy instantly appeared on his face.
Xiaoqing looked at him in surprise, this is an octopus?
When she left Ruoqiao, she had never seen the human form of an octopus, so she didn't recognize him.
Instead, she looked at Jin Zhengzhong beside the octopus and was slightly stunned, that person ...... Like!
"Brother Yu, it turns out that your nickname is Octopus? Zhang Yu, octopus, hey...... It's a good match. ”
The octopus ignored Jin Zhengzhong's ridicule, strode up to Li Fei and Xiaoqing, and said excitedly: "Big ...... Ah Fei, Xiaoqing, it's you. ”
The octopus was about to say "Great Immortal", but Li Fei's voice came from his ears, asking him to call him Ah Fei.
Xiaoqing pursed her lips and smiled at him, and said, "I didn't expect to see you again, it seems that we are very fateful." ”
Li Fei told Octopus in the underworld that he would go to live in Jiajia Building, but Xiaoqing didn't know about it, and thought that today was a chance encounter.
Although it was indeed a chance encounter, it was Li Fei's confession that allowed the octopus to live in Jiajia Building, and became neighbors with Ma Xiaoling and Jin Zhengzhong, and then became friends.
So today's encounter is both accidental and inevitable.
Li Fei lightly punched the octopus in the chest and said with a smile: "Long time no see, has it always been good?" ”
The octopus took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and grinned: "It's true that I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm fine, it seems that you guys are doing well." ”
For Li Fei, they have only been separated for more than a year, but for octopus, it has been more than 1,300 years.
At this time, Jin Zhengzhong also walked over and asked curiously, "Brother Yu, these two are your friends?" ”
Octopus nodded, "Old friend." ”
He introduced Li Fei and Xiaoqing: "This is Kim Zhengzhong, and we all live in Jiajia Building. ”
Li Fei stretched out his right hand to Jin Zhengzhong and said, "Hello, Mr. Jin." ”
Jin Zhengzhong held Li Fei's hand, shook it up and down, and said, "Brother Fei is the same as Brother Yu, just call me Zhengzhong." ”
Li Fei smiled and bowed his head, "You also came to see the exhibition?" ”
The octopus said: "Yes! The master in the middle is working here, and we are here to cheer for them, and their master and apprentice are exorcists. ”
Kim Zhengzhong glanced at him in surprise, it seems that their relationship is indeed not ordinary, and this kind of thing is said casually.
As if he saw Kim Jung-jung's thoughts, the octopus smiled at him and said, "Don't be surprised, Ah Fei and Xiaoqing are the same people as you." ”
Jin Zhengzhong was relieved at this time, and then reacted, and said with a strange expression: "Brother Fei Fei is also here to 'work'?" ”
Li Fei smiled: "Don't get me wrong, we are just cultivators, not exorcists, just here to see rare treasures." ”
"Oh, that's it!" Kim Jong Center made a big decision, it turned out that it was not a peer enemy, then there was no problem.
The four of them walked side by side towards the gate, and Li Fei casually asked the octopus, "What are you doing now?" ”
Octopus said: "Engaged in IT, I am a technical engineer of ITM computer. ”
Li Fei and Xiaoqing glanced at each other, and they both saw the strange look in each other's eyes.
Li Fei said meaningfully: "This profession is really suitable for you." ”
Even if two of his tentacles turned into legs, there are still six tentacles, this Nima is a real tentacle monster!
With his congenital condition, not doing computer-related work is simply a waste of that talent.
The octopus obviously also got the meaning of Li Fei's words, and grinned: "I think so too." ”
"Hahaha......"
