A black sedan with no license plate drove to the northern outskirts of the city, detoured several forks in the road, and drove to a gravel yard.

The man in the driver's seat parked the car and sat motionless in his seat.

Taking a nap in the back seat was a thin old man with white hair, and after the car was parked, he slowly opened his eyes, straightened the cotton and linen robe on his body, and opened the door and got out of the car.

The old man stood next to the car, looking out on the road from time to time.

Not long after, an off-road vehicle with a military license plate arrived, and a man in military uniform in his early fifties got out of the car without stopping steadily.

The military uniform was crossed at the waist, and he didn't give the old man a good look at all: "You call me out, it's best to have something important, otherwise I won't be able to spare you kid!" ”

The old man stepped forward with a smile: "I know that the commander is busy, we haven't seen each other for so long, is it important to talk to you about the past?" ”

The commander's face was blank, he secretly glanced at the guard behind him, and glanced at the old man again: "Yang Xuanlin, you have something to say, don't keep fighting haha!" ”

Yang Xuanlin comprehended: "There is indeed a confidential matter to report, let's get in the car and say?" ”

The commander turned his head and nodded to the guard, and then followed Yang Xuanlin into the back seat of the car.

"Tell me, what did you call me out to say?"

Yang Xuanlin stroked his snow-white beard, and his tone was slow: "I won't go to that mountain in the future......"

The commander's face was slightly angry, and he straightened up and hit his head on the roof of the car: "What! It was the base you advocated for the establishment of the base, and now you are gone? ”

Yang Xuanlin shook his head again and again: "It's not that I don't do it, it's just that the base doesn't make sense to me......"

The commander seemed to see a trace of strangeness on Yang Xuanlin's face, he looked at Yang Xuanlin, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally couldn't help asking: "You kid just say it, what's wrong?" ”

Yang Xuanlin lowered his head and smiled faintly, with a hint of imperceptible forbearance in his smile: "You know, I have two daughters......"

"Hmm." The commander looked at Yang Xuanlin and only saw his solemn face.

"The daughter who is not with me, her name is Shabho. I always thought it was a mistake to leave her in the world......"

The commander watched Yang Xuanrin's throat tremble, and swallowed the words that had already reached his lips.

Yang Xuanlin shook his head self-deprecatingly, and smiled at the commander again.

"You're just boring, and you're only halfway talking!"

"It's boring, it's boring, anyway, I'm like this for the rest of my life, I can't change it, I can't change anything!"

The commander vaguely felt that Yang Xuanlin's gaze was no longer as firm as before, and there was a flicker that he had never seen before. Before he could see the expression on his face, Yang Xuanlin turned his face away.

The flicker in his eyes, is it chagrin? Or is it sadness?

"Okay, I really just want to catch up with you today." Yang Xuanlin got up and got out of the car, "How long has it been since you looked at the stars?" ”

The commander followed and got out of the car, held the back of his head and raised his head, and saw the long-lost starry sky: "I'm old, and I can't lift my head anymore." It seems that there are not as many stars now as there were when we were young......"

"At that time, you were always drunk, and one star was seen as two, and two as four, of course it was more!" After Yang Xuanlin sneered, he said mysteriously, "Take out that little wine jug in your inner pocket and give me a sip......

"What flask...... How can there be a flask...... How do you know......"

-----------------

"Hey...... Hey ......"

Xia Buhe came back to his senses, only to see Xiao Yu put his hands on his shoulders and shake them vigorously.

Could it be that the unstable center of gravity felt in that field was not blown by the strong wind, but because Xiao Yu was shaking himself?

"You...... What is this for? ”

Xiao Yu scratched his head in embarrassment: "I was talking to you, when I saw you in a daze, I thought you were overloaded with your brain and fainted...... Blame me, I shouldn't have let you receive so much information at once......"

Xia Buhe rolled his eyes, what you say is what, anyway, the fact that he was pulled into the realm is too weird, and after such a long time in the realm, it seems that it is less than a minute in reality, and if you want to defend yourself, you may not be able to find a suitable reason......

Gu Yao didn't look surprised: "It's a shame that you both have been better for so many years, and her problem with being in a daze is not once or twice, she can be in a forty-minute class for thirty minutes in the past......"

After saying this, Gu Yao turned around and went back to the stall to greet the guests. After Xia Buhe said hello, he also left Gu Yao for the time being, and pulled Xiao Yu to the barbecue restaurant.

From the location of Gu Yao's coffee stall to the barbecue restaurant, the distance was not too far, and the two of them walked slowly like tourists sightseeing.

Xia Buhe pursed his lips and hesitated for a while, but decided to tell Xiao Yu: "The owner of the barbecue restaurant and my mother know. ”

"Well, I told you about that."

"Mom is probably here to ask him about her guilt today." Shabho's expression seemed a little uneasy

"Well, I guessed that." Xiao Yu nodded.

"This boss's name is Chi Ye."

"It turned out to be him, so it makes sense......" Xiao Yu seemed to have figured out a question that had been bothering him for a long time, and kept nodding his head.

Xia Buhe was very surprised, Xiao Yu didn't ask why he knew the name of the barbecue restaurant owner: "Don't you wonder how I know?" ”

Xiao Yu shook his head: "I'm not curious, because I know the answer." ”

Xiao Yu's words aroused Xia Buhe's curiosity, but she was not in a hurry to ask, she wanted to wait for Xiao Yu to say it herself.

But the two were in a stalemate for a moment, and finally Xia Buhe couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you going to tell me what you know?" ”

Xiao Yu shook his head again: "I don't plan to." ”

"Why?"

"I'm afraid you're overloaded."

"I'm trying not to be in a daze, you can say it......"

Xiao Yu swept Xia Buhe with a suspicious look, then smashed his mouth again, and slowly spoke as if he was reluctant: "Chi Ye is the master of the Dao Gate, and the energy operation of the spells used by the Shi family brothers comes from the Dao Gate; Coupled with the strange phenomenon of Shi Dou's death and immortality, it is difficult not to suspect the owner of the Dao Gate as the owner of the Soul Domain. ”

"And when you were in a daze just now, I sensed a special realm aura from you, this realm is not affected by the energy of the outside world, nor does it exist in your body, so I guess this realm is the realm of the spirit of detention."

Xia Buhe was dumbfounded when she heard this, the amount of information she needed to digest for a long time was blurted out by Xiao Yu like this, and she didn't know for a while whether to admire Xiao Yu's cleverness or complain about her stupidity.

Xia Buhe didn't know what to say that Xiao Yu didn't know: "I don't think the owner of the barbecue restaurant is like a bad person. ”

"I don't think our mom is a bad person."

"So what if they fight?"

"No, the most they can quarrel with ......"

Before the two of them walked to the front of the barbecue restaurant, they heard the sound of Xia Yuanmei and Chi Ye arguing: "Your chicken feet should be boiled in salt brine before roasting, otherwise they won't taste at all!" ”

"Boiled chicken feet are easy to fall apart when re-roasted, and the taste is not good!"

“……”

When Chi Ye saw Xia Buhe coming, he smiled and asked in a low voice, "Have you found the answer?" ”

Xia Buhe shook his head slightly: "No, but I saw an old man with gray temples, and the answer should be on him." ”

The movements of Chi Ye's hands did not stop, and he continued to turn over the skewers of barbecue on the barbecue grill, and nodded slightly to express his affirmation of Xia Buhe's answer: "You see that the person is called Qingji, and he is my senior brother." ”

Xiao Yu frowned after hearing this: "It is rumored that Qingji practiced more than ten years ago and left the sect after seriously injuring his fellow disciples, and there has been no news about him since then......"

Xiao Yu turned his head to look at Chi Ye, and asked tentatively with doubts, "Could it be ......?"

Chi Ye skillfully sprinkled a large handful of skewers in his hand with condiments, put them on a plate, and served them on the table before he slowly spoke: "The energy of this world comes from the same origin heaven and earth, and it is absorbed and refined by different creatures before it is contaminated with the unique breath of each living being. All things contain spirits, and there are all kinds of differences in this energy. It doesn't matter if it's a demon or a saint, it's just a false name imposed by outsiders. But only this senior brother is a hurdle that I can't cross in my life......"

……

"Uncle, uncle, why do we live in the mountains?"

The little man shook the arm of the person next to him.

"Silly boy, you are my little junior brother, what are you going to call me senior brother, what kind of uncle are you called...... Also, we visited the Taoist Gate to study the secret arts, and lived in the mountains clean, the air on the mountains was good, there was no car exhaust, no industrial pollution, birds and flowers, and it was the most suitable for cultivation......"

……

"Senior brother, you have all awakened your energy and have supernatural powers, why haven't I made progress yet, am I too stupid?"

Young children sit on the shore and pick up a few pebbles and throw them into the water, making a few splashes.

"You're still young, and you're in a hurry to practice. As long as you are down-to-earth, accumulate a lot, hundreds of rivers will eventually meet the sea, and gather sand into a tower, right? ”

……

"Hmph, the master obviously has other exercises there, why only let us practice this basic fist and kick! No matter how well they practice fist and foot kung fu, how can they be as strong as the secret techniques they practice! ”

The boy watched the group of senior brothers go out on a mission, and angrily knocked over the noodles handed by the people around him.

"Don't be angry. This fist and foot kung fu is the foundation of cultivating secret arts! It can not only exercise reaction speed and strength; It can also enhance the body. Do you think Senior Brother can catch this bowl of noodles without spilling a drop, isn't it also very powerful? ”

……

"Senior brother! Brother! The master has taught me a new secret method today, and I will show you it! It's just that I'm not very skilled yet......"

The boy excitedly ran into the room and told the people in the room of his joy.

"Well, the junior brother is talented, and sooner or later he will surpass the senior brother. Senior brother is old, and his cultivation is slow, so he can't compare to you...... Perhaps, I have wasted half my life on useless work......"

……

"Senior brother, why is the woman who broke through the mountain gate so strong today? I didn't even see her move clearly before she knocked me down......"

The boy rubbed the bruises on his shoulders and pouted in complaint.

"There are people outside the world, we have lived in the mountains for a long time, and we have not been able to see the vastness of the world, maybe ......"

……

"Senior brother, where are you going? Doesn't it mean that the mountains are the most suitable for our cultivation? Why do you have to go down the mountain? ”

The young man had tears in his eyes, sobbing and hugging the man in front of the mountain gate.

"I'm not as good as you, I've never been as good as you! The master originally passed on the Soul Domain to me, but now he has given you the position of the master of the door and the Soul Domain, why do you want me to stay? Is it a shame to stay? The earliest entry is not as good as yours, and I don't have the face to leave this! ”

"Senior brother is better than me, senior brother is the most powerful, senior brother, look at you can beat me to vomit blood as soon as you raise your hand......"

……

"Senior brother, how are you doing lately? The master said that you stole the forbidden art, I know that the senior brother is not such a person, let's go back and explain it to the master, okay? ”

The young man looked at the back of the man in front of the hut in the mountains and asked timidly.

"Don't call me Senior Brother! I had nothing to do with you when I left the Daomen! Yes, I stole the book, and I can't go back with you...... Besides, now I have to take care of my three apprentices......"

……

"Senior brother, the master is gone, and the senior brothers are all scattered! Can you go back with me, will you give up the position of the door master......"

The young man knelt on the mountain, and Qi cried loudly.

"I ...... I don't want to be the master of this family, I want to prove that I am not inferior to you! When I can defeat you, I'll look for you again! ”

……

Chi Ye said, the raised corners of his mouth couldn't save his lowered eyebrows, and the strength of his strong work couldn't stop the tears that snatched his eyes......

"So you have been willing to abandon your cultivation all these years, and you have not been diligent for many years......" Xia Yuanmei ate the last skewer, sighing for a while, "You just look forward to the day when that person can catch up with you again......"

"It's a pity that year after year, day after day, you don't have the opportunity to compete with your old people......" Xiao Yu took over, "Maybe your senior brother doesn't want to see you fall like this......"

-----------------

After the business car went around twice along the main road in Cangjiang City, Ouyang Ping finally couldn't help but ask: "The helper you said, doesn't he have a mobile phone?" Do we have to go to such great lengths to find people all over the city? ”

Nanzhu's fist stretched out outside the window slowly opened, and then retracted into the car, and patted his palms: "He has a mobile phone." ”

"Can't he make calls on his phone?"

Nanzhu hesitated for a moment, and replied uncertainly: "It should be possible......

Ouyang Ping drove for several hours in a row, and the double exhaustion of his body and mind made him slightly dissatisfied with Nanzhu's command, so he simply parked the car on the side of the road.

"Then can't you give him a call?"

Nanzhu shook his head calmly: "Can't ......"

Ouyang Ping obviously couldn't understand Nanzhu's brain circuit, since the person he was looking for had a mobile phone, and his mobile phone could also make calls, so why did he have to wander around the city looking for someone?

"For! Miscellaneous! Whatever! Ouyang Ping jumped out word by word, gritting his teeth and holding his sullen breath.

Nanzhu's expression was still flat: "Because I don't have a mobile phone, I don't know his mobile phone number." ”

"And how did you get in touch before?"

"Usually he comes to my place to look for me, I never go to him......"

When Ouyang Ping was speechless with anger, he received more than a dozen text messages on his mobile phone in a row:

【Cangjiang Traffic Police】The CangXXXXXX motor vehicle you were driving was reported by the masses on XX Road (throwing objects out of the window).

Ouyang Ping looked at the text message, and then looked at the little Taoist priest with a delicate face in the back seat: "Did you throw something outside the car just now?" ”

Nanzhu didn't shy away from it, and admitted happily: "Well, I threw it along several main roads in the city. ”

In this way, Nanzhu's favorability in Ouyang Ping's heart instantly dropped to a negative number.

Ouyang Ping took a deep breath, calculated the price of the ticket in his heart, and tried his best to restrain his anger: "Why are you throwing things out of the car, aren't there garbage bags in the car?" ”

Nanzhu looked at Ouyang Ping in silence and didn't answer his question, and after a while, he seemed to suddenly sense something, and a sharp light began to flash in his eyes.

Nanzhu spread out his palm, and a plump broad bean swirled in his palm.

"West, west!"

Nanzhu's tone made Ouyang Ping stunned for a moment, and then immediately started the vehicle and drove west.

"Why does this broad bean give directions?

"Because its little brothers told it."

"What? Fava beans also have a little brother? ”

"Well, it's those soybeans I just threw on the road, scattering beans into soldiers, and these beans are my soldiers."
