"Qimen's token?"
I was completely confused for a while because I had never heard of this name before?
But Chen Yunqi changed his color at this moment. Obviously he knew, so I had to turn my doubtful eyes to him.
"Fifth Master, are you sure it's Qimen's token?"
Chen Yunqi did not explain to me, but frowned and looked at Fifth Master Qiao.
"Can't be wrong."
Fifth Master Qiao nodded and said: "I had some connection with Qi Men back then, so I have seen this thing. This is Qi Men's token, the Earth Scroll, but it's obviously only half of it."
After hearing this, Chen Yunqi's face turned completely ugly.
"That young man has Qimen's token in his hand, so he should be the descendant of one of the eight Qimen branches."
Fifth Master Qiao continued.
"Qimen Eight Meridians?"
The more I listened, the more confused I became. How could this be such a strange thing? Did you learn from our Xuanmen Five Meridians?
Chen Yunqi looked at it and said with an ugly face: "Both the Qimen and the Xuanmen belong to one of the ancient sects in the world of mysticism. It is said that they seemed to be from the same sect in the earliest times, but later they split into two sects, and the north and the south were divided. , and later evolved into the Five Meridians of Xuanmen and the Eight Meridians of Qimen, but the so-called sects have long since declined and no longer exist. What is left now are just descendants of each lineage like your old man. .”
"That is not bad."
I couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. I thought that a sect in the occult world had been created. If that was the case, it would really be a big deal.
"fine?"
Chen Yunqi glared at me and said: "The eight branches of Qimen are connected by the same energy. Although there is no communication between each branch, if a person from any branch dies in the hands of an outsider, the relationship will be forged. Besides, Qimen The door token has also fallen into your hands, do you think the descendants of other branches can let it go?"
"Then...are there descendants from other branches?"
I asked uncertainly.
Because I feel that most of the inheritance of this ancient sect has been lost, just like the five lines of Xuanmen. Now except for our Feng Shui line, I don’t seem to have heard anything about the other four lines. The inheritance must have been discontinued.
Chen Yunqi seemed unsure, so he had no choice but to look at Fifth Master Qiao.
Since Fifth Master Qiao had some connection with this strange family back then, he should be very clear about it.
"I can't say this either."
Fifth Master Qiao shook his head and said with a sullen face: "Back then, the Qimen and the Eight Lines fought for this Earth Scroll, and there was serious internal fighting. It is said that many branches later lost their inheritance because of this, but I think there must still be inheritance. "
"Isn't this a token of Qimen? Why do their own people have to fight for it?"
I looked at Mr. Qiao with some confusion.
He filled a pot of dry cigarettes, lit it up and took a few puffs, then said slowly: "This land scroll is actually a map, also known as a dragon map. According to legend, whoever gets the dragon map can gain the general trend of the world." , Although the eight branches of Qimen are connected with the same energy, they are different branches after all, so everyone wanted to seize this opportunity, so internal strife occurred. "
Mr. Qiao Wuye said and glanced at me, "Now this half of the land is in your hands. Even if you and Qimen Bamai don't have any quarrel, they will still want to get it back from you."
After hearing this, I was dumbfounded.
Doesn't this mean I've got a hot potato? It’s not as simple as just keeping this kind of thing for a while, and then people come and ask me for it. Once someone comes to take this thing, I’m afraid my life will also be taken away, right?
"Then can I throw this thing away?"
I asked with an ugly face.
"It's useless for you to throw it away. They must know whose hands this half of the land is in. Now that person died in your hands, and the land roll fell into your hands without even thinking about it. You'd better keep it well. .”
Qiao Wuye said expressionlessly.
"I keep it? I..."
I immediately lost my composure. If I held this thing, wouldn't I get myself into trouble?
"It's useless for you to regret now. The descendants of Qimen and Eight Meridians will definitely find you, so you can only keep this thing by yourself."
Qiao Wuye said, picking up the wine glass and taking a sip, "But if you encounter trouble later, you can come to me."
In line with the mentality of being soft-spoken and short-handed, he took this matter of mine upon himself.
What else can I say? This is enough loyalty.
"Thank you, old man. I'll give you a toast."
I picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Master Qiao.
When he came out, Chen Yunqi looked very ugly and scolded me several times along the way.
"Why do you always cause so much trouble? Even Fifth Master Qiao may not be able to handle this matter."
Chen Yunqi said with a dark face.
"How do I know this? A random person pops up, he is the descendant of the Eight Meridians of Qimen. I have never heard of him before, okay?"
I said with a speechless expression.
"Anyway, you can handle it yourself this time. I can't help you much. There is no simple sect in this ancient sect."
Chen Yunqi said angrily. "When the time comes that you can't hold it anymore, don't forget to send my daughter back. Don't hurt her."
"It's not your biological son."
I said angrily.
"You bastard, you..."
Chen Yunqi almost died of anger and started to curse.
So when he returned home, Chen Yunqi looked like he was drunk again, and he almost started to quarrel with his mother-in-law in a few words.
I quickly pulled Chen Ling away and went directly back to Huilong Town.
...
Before we knew it, the New Year was here. On the night of New Year’s Eve, it snowed all night again. When we woke up in the morning, the whole world was completely white.
After breakfast, I was clearing the snow at the door of the shop. Suddenly a taxi drove to the door of the shop. Gu Xiaorou got out of the car wearing a down jacket and a scarf, tightly wrapped.
Looking at her like this, she felt like she was going on a long trip.
"Are you here to wish me New Year's greetings so early?"
I hit the broom and made a joke.
"Is there any red envelope?"
Gu Xiaorou smiled and stretched out her hand to me.
She wears a pair of blue rabbit-head cotton gloves on her hands, and a red string connects the two gloves together and hangs around her neck.
I felt embarrassed because I really didn’t prepare any red envelopes.
"Just kidding."
Gu Xiaorou smiled softly, then took out a bank card and handed it to me.
She said, "I sold all my family's property and plan to go to the provincial capital and never come back. This is for you. I can't spend all the money anyway."
I don’t know why, but when I heard she said she was going to the provincial capital and would never come back, I felt quite disappointed.
But I still took the bank card.
"Then I'll save it for you first. When you need money, come and get it from me."
I didn't ask how much money was in the card.
Gu Xiaorou smiled and said, "The password is my birthday. Let me tell you another secret. Today is my birthday, the first day of the new year."
"It's such a good day."
I smiled reluctantly.
Gu Xiaorou lowered her head to look at the cotton shoes on her feet, then suddenly raised her head and looked at me and said, "Can I give you a hug?"
"certainly."
I put down the broom, opened my arms and hugged her.
Gu Xiaorou hugged me tightly. She held me like that, buried her face in my chest, and hugged me for a long time.
Then she let me go, took a step back, smiled at me, turned around and got into the car, and then the car sped away.
Gu Xiaorou did not look back, but I kept watching the car go away until it disappeared at the end of the white world.
