Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Qingmu leaned against the car door, smoking one cigarette after another, waiting for Wang Xuan to come out from get off work at the gate of the design institute.
He was a little worried. The master fled to Xinxing like a burning ass. It had not been like this for many years. What happened? He wanted to know better.
Wang Xuan was in a good mood, a big stone fell from his heart, and walked out talking and laughing with his colleagues.
"Xiao Wang, this way." Aoki called him.
"Someone is looking for me, see you tomorrow." Wang Xuan greeted a few people around him and walked quickly forward.
In the sunset, a group of migratory birds flew away, making the autumn look more and more deep and the sky high.
Qingmu took Wang Xuan to dinner and started asking questions on the way. When he heard that Lao Chen had an appointment with Yu Hua Zhenxian in the near future, he stepped on the accelerator and almost hit the car in front of him.
"Watch the road and be careful!" Wang Xuan reminded quickly.
There are many vehicles on the street. It is time to get off work, and the traffic is a bit congested. Aoki's heart is also a bit blocked. What happened? Lao Chen was scared away by the female alchemist?
He knows very well that Lao Chenshu is quite amazing, and he is a rare super strong person. In addition, he has always been smart and capable, and almost never suffers losses. Recently, he has... failed.
Wang Xuan was very relaxed, and he was still in the mood to see the red maple trees on both sides of the road. The maple leaves looked particularly warm in the sunset. Thinking that the female alchemist would no longer appear, he thought, this time he might really be with Lao Chen. Went to Xinxing.
"What do you think will happen to my master?" After Aoki roughly understood the situation, he felt it was a bit outrageous. How could a man who had been dead for three thousand years still have dreams?
"Old Chen is a good man, I'm sure everything will be fine." Wang Xuan comforted him.
Aoki has never been short of money, so he chose a high-end restaurant with a large private room and very quiet place. After ordering, he began to ask in a low voice what happened.
"You mean, Lao Chen prevented disaster for you?" Aoki choked on his own cigarette and felt quite speechless.
"Don't think too much, it's none of my business. The reason why the female alchemist dreamed is that no one who participated in the Daxinganling underground test site is innocent. Lao Qing, you have to do this recently. Pay attention!"
Wang Xuan felt refreshed and had a great appetite. While enjoying the delicious food, he kindly reminded him to order some talisman paper or something. In this regard, Lao Chen I was more experienced. After the incident, I took out a bunch of them and stuck them all over my body.
At the same time, he also complained that Lao Chen was so stingy. When he asked for help on weekends, he gave him one, but when something happened to him, he stuck it to his body desperately and it was almost full of scum.
Listening to his outrageous complaints and warnings, Aoki grinned, feeling complicated, and blew out a smoke ring without saying anything.
"Lao Chen, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." Wang Xuan commented.
Aoki glared at him, what kind of nonsense is this? This guy got an advantage and acted like a good boy.
"You said, how can weHelp him? "Qingmu frowned. He was indeed a little worried about Lao Chen. After all, he was his master.
Wang Xuan said: "I don't think it's a big deal. Lao Chen went to Xinxing. The female alchemist must be unfamiliar with the place there. , I guess if you are not used to staying here, you will bring Lao Chen back sooner or later. "
Listen, what are these words? Aoki glared at him, and then discussed with him how about sending him to Xinxing to support and take care of Lao Chen.
Wang Xuan refused immediately. He just jumped out of the fire pit, who would jump in again?
He glanced at Qingmu and said: "Don't worry about Lao Chen, I think you really need to worry. Get off yourself. "
"What do you mean? "Qingmu put out the cigarette.
Wang Xuan glanced at him and said: "What else can you mean? Old Chen is scared and has gone to Xinxing. He will definitely not be able to help the female alchemist solve the problem. If she comes back by then, I guess it will be your turn too. "
"You have a poisonous mouth, shut up! "Qingmu really felt a little unsure, and he felt that this was probably how Lao Chen was found.
He seriously suspected that the female alchemist probably went to find Lao Chen after listening to Wang Xuan's nonsense. Chen's.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized it, so he warned him seriously, "Eat, and leave as soon as possible! You are not allowed to look for me during this period of time, and you are not allowed to gossip when you are alone. Anyway, you are not allowed to mention my name in the near future! "
"Old Qing, you are not being kind, you are talking as if I have opened my mouth. "Wang Xuan was dissatisfied and argued there that this matter had nothing to do with him in the first place. He was also a victim.
"Don't say anything. Let's draw a clear line between the two of you recently. Don't contact me! "Aoki was about to check out and leave. He didn't want to stay any longer and almost didn't move his chopsticks.
Wang Xuan said: "Don't leave in a hurry. When will my five million be received? But I have been through life and death in Qingcheng Mountain, and I have paid for the compensation with my life. ”
“It will arrive tomorrow! "After Aoki finished speaking, he stood up. He was happy to give the money. Although the silver animal skin scroll has not been deciphered yet, the expert group unanimously felt that it was of amazing value, otherwise it would not have been given to an immortal alchemist. Staring till death
“Okay! "Wang Xuan was satisfied. For a newly graduated student, having such a huge sum of money is really a huge surprise.
"You can eat some. Wang Xuan persuaded Qingmu and said: "You really want to leave and won't you send me back?" ”
Aoki ignored him, accelerated his speed, and disappeared in an instant, and made up his mind not to go near Wang Xuan’s residence in the near future.
The next day, Wang Xuan When he received a text message from the bank that a large amount of money had been deposited, he counted six zeros and found that it was indeed five million.
Soon, he remembered another thing. Have you paid taxes? I quickly asked Qingmu, but Qingmu hung up on him five times and ignored him.
It might be true in the end!When he couldn't stand him any longer, Aoki told him via text message that he had already paid it on his behalf and would give him 5 million after tax.
"Old Qing, you are awesome!" Wang Xuan quickly typed a few words and replied.
Aoki took a look and blocked him directly. He always felt that if he had too much contact with him recently, something would happen. The more he thought about it, the more he believed that this was the truth, and he shouldn't go to him and invite him to dinner. Lao Chen is a lesson learned from the past.
In the evening, Wang Xuan called his parents and told them to go back this weekend and get vaccinated in advance, saying: "I won the lottery!"
The next two days Oh my God, Wang Xuan studied Taoism, practiced the root method, and thought about feather fossils. This time when he went home, he must go to the mountain to see if there was anything left behind.
After getting off work on Friday, Wang Xuan quickly rushed to the station. His home was in a neighboring town, only more than a hundred kilometers away, which was not that far away.
When he got home in the evening, although his parents were very happy at first, they became much calmer than he imagined. In Lao Wang's words, what's the use of having so much money? This kind of mentality may also be the reason why Wang Xuan is usually a little arrogant.
"Keep it for yourself, buy a wedding room, and get a wife back as soon as possible." Lao Wang said happily, not forgetting to urge the marriage.
Wang Xuan comes back only once a week or two, so after the couple saw him, although they were in a good mood, they were relatively peaceful.
"I just graduated. It's too early. Let's wait two years and transfer the money to you first." Then, Wang Xuan ignored it and completed the transfer directly.
After dinner in the evening, he asked his parents about the Daheishan Mountains dozens of miles away from the small town. There was always a legend about the fairy girl in that place.
He remembered that when he was a child, there used to be a Taoist temple on the mountain, but it fell into disrepair and completely collapsed without a single Taoist priest. He didn’t know what happened now.
Lao Wang recalled and sighed: "There are indeed some legends there. Incense was still very popular when I was a child. Later, the villages and towns at the foot of the mountain were demolished and people moved away. Most of them moved into the city. Incense It gradually disappeared, and finally even the Taoist priests were gone. Now there are overgrown wormwood, and I heard that the foundations of the Taoist temples can no longer be found." Wang Xuan said: "I'm going to make an appointment with two disciples tomorrow. Let’s go for a walk. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Daheishan. It’s a good time to see if there are any hazelnuts, pecans and the like in autumn.”
In the evening, he started making appointments, and the two boys knew he was back. Finally, he was very happy and hurriedly promised that one would prepare a car tomorrow, and the other said that he would borrow some native dogs and take them into the mountains to chase rabbits.
Unfortunately, the weather was not good. It was forecast to be sunny and cloudy on Saturday. As a result, it started to rain, and the rain became heavier and heavier. The two of them felt a little regretful and changed their appointment to go to Daheishan on Sunday. .
Wang Xuan couldn't stand still. Even if it rained heavily, it would have no impact on him, a person who practiced old skills. He took action directly.
He put on his rain gear, walked out of the house, and then out of the small town. Then he started running wildly, rushing all the way to the big city.Montenegro.
Mainly because the legend about the fairy girl seemed to be related to rain. Taking advantage of this environment, he went into the mountains to take a look.
After practicing the Golden Body Technique to the fourth level, even if it is dozens of miles away, it is nothing to Wang Xuan.
Finally he entered the mountain. The mountains and rocks were black. If there were no vegetation, it would look like light ink from a distance, so it was called Black Mountain, or Daheishan.
According to his memory, Wang Xuan rushed straight to one of the peaks and quickly climbed the mountain. However, when he reached the top of the mountain, he felt suspicious. The Taoist temple was missing. Even if it collapsed, there should be foundations and rubble. Why was it so bare?
He felt as if the foundation had been dug away.
Did I remember it wrong, it’s not this mountain?
Wang Xuan went to other mountains to search, and climbed several hills one after another, but he did not find the collapsed Taoist temple.
Boom!
Thunder exploded between heaven and earth, and dazzling lightning flashed across the rain curtain, illuminating the dark sky and briefly brightening the entire Black Mountain.
Inadvertently, Wang Xuan looked up. What did he see?
On the main peak where he first thought there was a collapsed Taoist temple, a creature appeared. It was quite large. It was a... harpy, carrying a person down the mountain.
And, as the dog ran down, the mountain shook slightly, heading towards him!
