Chapter 18: Secrets of Secrets

Shen Yi slowly walked out of the room, there was only one person in the wine hall, Liuhuai, thinking that it was too early, and the others had not yet gotten up. He looked behind the counter, and the mysterious Wu San shopkeeper was not there.

Since helping the iron cavalry of the king of Guanbei get out of the great sandstorm and return to Qiongta Town, Wu San immediately covered his true face and did his best to be the shopkeeper of the inn.

Ah Yue seemed to have something else in her heart, looking at Wu San's eyes, there were too many doubts and explorations, but on the surface, she was more distant, and she didn't seem to want to say a word to him.

But Shen Yi had other concerns. He was quite sure that this Wu San had a lot to do with this mission, especially when Wu San came out to save people that night, the six fingers of his left hand were revealed at a glance, which corresponded to the six fingers of the murderer mentioned by Bruce Lee. If Shen Yi's usual practice of handling cases is followed, he will definitely detain and carefully interrogate this Wu San. But before he left Beijing, he was repeatedly instructed by Lord Yuwen, because the matter was complicated, if the person he met did not take the initiative to show up, he must not act rashly, otherwise even if the murderer of Li Lilong was caught, he would never be able to make up for the loss of the list of collaborators.

Shen Yi couldn't do anything, so he had to continue to watch Wu San as if nothing had happened, still lying behind the counter every day to prepare the plate, still showing a humble smile to take care of the guests.

Fortunately, although Wu San knew that Shen Yi and Ah Yue had seen his true colors, he was still very calm, that is, he did not think of escaping, nor did he take the next step. He was so calm and calm, Shen Yi was even more sure that there was a big secret hidden in his heart, and there must be a bigger plan.

Shen Yi turned his head to look at the empty wine hall and asked Liuhuai, "Wu San's shopkeeper is not in the store?"

Liuhuai raised his head, his face was still silly and lazy, but there seemed to be a lot of secrets in his slender eyes, dodging and dodging, not daring to look at Shen Yi, but he still answered honestly, "The shopkeeper went out, saying that he wanted to go to the city wall to see." ”

Shen Yi nodded, thought about it, and walked out of the store.

After the sandstorm, the streets of Jonta town have been cleared and the broken houses are being repaired. There were early risers coming and going on the street, and when they saw Shen Yidu, they smiled gently, and their eyes were full of respect. They already knew that this young man was Lord Shen Yi Shen from the capital, and they also knew how he heroically escaped from the clutches of the sandstorm that day. Now, in their hearts, Shen Yi is as heroic and magical as a god.

Walking all the way, Shen Yi smiled and nodded to greet everyone he met.

He looked up at the sky, the sky above his head was so blue, so blue, the sandstorm had passed, it seemed that all the sins had passed, leaving only a calm and ordinary life, but was life here really as peaceful as it seemed on the surface?

Wu San really stood on the wall of Qiongta Town, looking at the vast desert in the distance, and fell into deep thought.

He was not the only one on the city wall, not far away, there was also a slender figure, dressed in snow-white clothes fluttering in the morning breeze, but it was Ah Yue, the high priest of the Moonlight Clan.

Ah Yue looked at the sky in the distance, but her face was no longer the concentration and confidence she had used to observe the sky, and her heart seemed to be troubled by something.

Shen Yi didn't expect Ah Yue to also stand on the city wall, I don't know if these two people made an appointment to come here together, or is it just a coincidence? He stood quietly under the city wall and observed for a while, but decided to go up.

Seeing Shen Yi coming over, Ah Yue had a trace of panic on her face, and she tried to regain her composure. Wu San's expression remained unchanged, as if no matter what happened, it was just an inevitability of life for him. At this time, he completely lost the humble demeanor of the innkeeper, but like a weathered old man, because he had experienced too much, he had a kind of ordinary leisure and self-confidence.

Shen Yi said: "What did Shopkeeper Wu see?"

"Disaster, blood, what else can there be in the human world besides these two?" Wu San did not look back and said lightly.

Shen Yi stood beside him, also looked at the endless distance of yellow sand, and said, "It's a pity that it was people themselves who caused these disasters and blood. ”

Wu San was silent, his expression changed, and finally he said calmly: "Some blood has to be shed, although the person who made this blood flow out is not willing, but ...... Isn't there too much helplessness in life?"

"The so-called helplessness is just an excuse to get away with it, or people themselves have made wrong choices, and many tragedies could have been avoided, if not so persistent. Shen Yi said slowly.

Wu San glanced back at him, and suddenly smiled: "Shen Daxia is young, but he has a big heart and big ambitions, which is admirable. ”

Shen Yi smiled faintly and said, "Shopkeeper Wu has deliberately hidden his identity for many years, and his scheming is deep, so he must have a big intention?"

Wu San turned his head and didn't answer, and said after a long time: "Who doesn't have the greatest wish in their life? Just like you, Shen Daxia, can be righteous and chivalrous without hesitation and never regret it, you are old and talented, but you also have a great wish to spend your life waiting to be realized." ”

Ah Yue on the side suddenly interjected and said: "Brother Shen is doing things for others, and he knows that he can't do it, but he must do it, I don't know who you are for?"

Wu San's face was like the wind blowing on the surface of the river, and there was a wave in an instant, and it seemed that it was difficult to keep calm. No matter how calm he was, as long as Ah Yue's gentle words could upset his weather-hardened cold heart.

After a long time, he slowly said, "Who am I doing it for?" and you will know in the near future. He seemed to be saying this to Ah Yue, and it seemed to be saying it to Shen Yi, and he seemed to be talking to himself, trying to calm his guilty heart.

Ah Yue said coldly: "The sandstorm has passed, and I should leave too." Who you are doing it for, or what you have done, has nothing to do with me. ”

Wu San's eyes flashed with deep pain, but he still said calmly: "It's a pity that the sandstorm hasn't passed yet, just like a human disaster will never end." ”

Shen Yi looked at the clear sky, turned his head and asked, "What does Shopkeeper Wu mean when he said that the sandstorm has not passed?"

"Look at the sun. Wu San stretched out his hand and pointed to the east.

At the intersection of the sky and the desert, there is a round of rising sun, the sun is bright and warm, indicating a wonderful sunny day.

Wu San pointed to this round of the rising sun and continued: "Look at the rising sun, the light is like blood, staining the entire desert red, and also dyeing all things in heaven and earth, which is the sign of great evil. The sandstorm the day before yesterday was just a small warning, and even bigger sandstorms were to come. At that time, perhaps no one will be able to escape this bloody catastrophe. ”

Shen Yi looked at the morning sun carefully, but he didn't see anything unusual, remembering that night he stood on the city wall with Ah Yue, and Ah Yue also said that the moon halo was unknown in blood. His heart moved, and he turned his head to look at Ah Yue to see what she had to say.

Ah Yue was also looking at the rising sun, observing very carefully, her face gradually showed panic, and said to Wu San: "How can you tell? There has never been one big sandstorm in Qiongta Town, how can there be two in a row?"

Wu San sighed and said: "Heaven's will is unpredictable, there is a big sandstorm, there may be two, who can tell a reason? ”

Shen Yi said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Wu is really alarmist. ”

Wu San said seriously: "Shen Daxia doesn't believe it? If there is no evil that runs through the world, how can Lord Yuwen and Shen Daxia and others come out as the times require? Since the heaven and earth are good and evil coexist, how can there be good if there is no evil?"

Shen Yi shook his head and said, "Shen just tried his best, but he couldn't afford to be the shopkeeper Wu's words." ”

Ah Yue suddenly said: "Maybe he is right, there is indeed an even bigger sandstorm coming. She withdrew her gaze from looking at the sky, stared firmly at Wu San's face, and said word by word, "Who are you? How can you be so proficient in the art of celestial phenomena, even more profound than me?"

The pain on Wu San's face was even stronger, but he closed his mouth tightly and made up his mind not to answer.

Suddenly, a voice said behind everyone: "He has been hiding it, but because he really doesn't have the face to tell his true identity." ”
