Huge lightbulb-like devices are located in the city. They are huge generators that collect solar energy. Each lightbulb is as high as dozens of stories.
At the waist of those light bulbs, there are railway lines that stand above the city, either winding or straight. These are the rapid transit railways above the city. Children call them ribbons.
On these glowing ribbons, steam locomotives puff smoke and shuttle quickly, carrying people to their destinations.
"Master, why do we have to come to the mountain? The road here is not easy to find."
The young maid gasped.
Liu Banxian's eyes widened.
He didn't come back to his senses until the maid's breathing stabilized.
“What do you know?”
Liu Banxian opened the fan and shook his head.
“If you want to see the qi, you have to climb high! If you don’t climb high, how can you see the clouds in various places clearly? I remember back then, I traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, and even went up by airship in order to see the qi.”
"I know."
The maid helped Liu Banxian sit down on the bench at the top of the mountain, "This is what you often say, master, and you always say it several times a day."
"Yes. "
Liu Banxian rubbed his chin, "How often do I say this?"
"Of course"
The maid counted her fingers for him and said, "As you said, you once penetrated the Nine Dragons Boxing Ring alone and subdued my mother.
Later, you entered Xiandu with one sword and challenged the world's qigong masters. , and you rode alone for thousands of miles, entering and exiting the Great Inner Palace many times.”
“Oh?”
Liu Banxian. Scratching my head, quite a bit She sighed and said, "Speaking of it, this happened more than forty years ago, but when I think about it now, it seems like it happened yesterday."
The maid obviously did not believe that Liu Banxian had such ability. , however, she did not expose or question Liu Banxian's interest, she just asked: "Master, if you are as powerful as you said, why can't the calculation be accurate?"
"Is the fortune teller accurate? Who said that?"
Liu Banxian was very angry, "Let me tell you, Mary, you can scold a fortune teller for being ugly, but you can never say that he is inaccurate.
Besides, what I calculate are all national affairs. I am too lazy to calculate things like someone lost a wallet or a dog died. How can I possibly decide? "Is it accurate?"
As he said this, Liu Banxian sighed again, "Oh, maybe I leaked too many secrets, so maybe it won't be accurate later. I can't tell anyone. What is the destiny of the world and where is the dragon vein?
However, my palm reading is still very accurate. Come, let me help you check your marriage.”
The maid smiled and pulled her hand back, "Master, my grandma will be unhappy if you do this."
Liu Banxian snorted, "Your grandma? I told you before that don't look at how thin she was when she was young. Like a bamboo pole, she will definitely gain weight when she gets older. Look at her now, she is as fat as a ball and can’t even walk.”
The maid chuckled and was not angry.
She just mentioned the previous question again, "Master, this is the first time I have climbed this mountain with you. You never said you wanted to come here to see any clouds before. Why did it suddenly happen today? Interested.”
“Nothing.”
When mentioning this, Liu Banxian seemed a little happy, "I have a friend coming, I'm waiting for him here."
It was dusk at this time, and the sun had already reached behind the light bulbs, looking through the transparent glass The hood reflected orange light, which reflected on Liu Banxian's face.
“Friends?”
The maid asked doubtfully: “Didn’t the master meet his friends in nightclubs before?”
“Those are not friends, they are just acquaintances. That’s all.”
Liu Banxian had a smile on his lips, "The person I am coming to today is my life-and-death friend, my brother who has passed away! I saved him many times in Changbai Mountain and southern Xinjiang, so he and I are sworn friends. .
We are so close that we go to nightclubs. The same table and the same group of girls."
"They are indeed best friends."
The maid nodded and said, "Then I'll ask the kitchen to add more food."< br>
“No need.”
Liu Banxian waved his hand, "This friend of mine is very busy and may not have time to eat. By the way, if there is nothing else, you can go back first."
"Then I will pick you up later?"
“No need.”< br>
Liu Banxian still waved his hand, "My friend will take care of it, you don't have to come."
"By the way," he called the maid again, "From today on, you don't have to cook for me. ”
The maid was confused. As long as Liu Banxian was in Hong Kong Island, no matter how busy he was, he always had dinner at home. This was the first time he said he didn't need to prepare food.
"Go, go."
Liu Banxian waved his hand, "Let me watch the sunset here alone."
After the maid left, Liu Banxian leaned back on the chair on the bed, staring at the sunset, beating the beat with one hand on his leg, and humming softly.
"I am looking for my way silently through the heavy fog. I hope I am lucky enough to meet your footsteps on the road. I want to see you again, and I just want to express my true feelings and my love!"
"Being truly captured, it's like being trapped, exploring this path of love..."
"I fell in love, but you watched outside the network, never letting go..."
"Hate , love, stirring in my heart, this trap, this trap..."< br>
“It happened to me!”
Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Banxian did not look back, he just smiled and said: “Brother Yin, you still sing so well, compared to Liu Hua, Guo Cheng sounds pretty good.”
"Of course, I taught you this song."
Yin Xiu still wears the same outfit, windbreaker and leather boots.
He came to Liu Banxian's side and watched the sunset quietly.
Liu Banxian's eyes behind his sunglasses glanced at him, "Brother Yin, it's been more than forty years, why haven't you aged yet? You look exactly the same as when you went to the Forbidden Palace?"
“Probably a curse.”
Yin Xiu took out a ring from his pocket, and Liu Banxian recognized it as the black Solomon given to him by Laura Fana.
“I wonder if Laura Fana used this ring to turn me into a vampire?”
“Hey, this ring has saved your life several times, and you still say What do you mean?”
Liu Banxian looked at him, “In my opinion, vampires don’t look much like each other. What about Rakshasa? , No, and Miss Ma, oh no, isn’t Mrs. Yin the same as you? She has remained young and invincible for more than 40 years.
In my opinion, this is not a curse, but a gift, right? Maybe it’s the gift from Kunlun Bai Yujing you mentioned?”
"Didn't you later firmly believe that we were just picked up by aliens, not Kunlun?" Yin Xiu asked.
“It’s all the same.”
Liu Banxian put his hands on his knees, “It doesn’t matter whether I believe it or not, the important thing is that you have indeed received the benefits, right?”
“ Maybe." Yin Xiu was noncommittal.
Liu Banxian adjusted his sunglasses and said, "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other in a few years."
"It's been a few years. I can't help it. You're busy."
"Yes, you are extremely busy. When have you had any leisure in the past forty years?"
Liu Banxian is fine. Count Yin Xiu's deeds over the years.
“Maybe we really reshaped the lifeline of Kyushu, or as you said, we actually didn’t do anything?”
“It doesn’t matter,” Yin Xiu spread his hands, “Anyway, It’s all nonsense.”
Liu Banxian didn't think so, "You can also cross Japan and enter the Ise Shrine and defeat all the great swordsmen in Japan with one sword. Even a swordsman like Emperor Akikawa can't catch your move."
"That wasn't done by me, it was done by Ren Qi."
Yin Xiu corrected him: "What Xiaoyu and I dealt with was The Onmyoji and those evil gods, as well as those Japanese warriors, sword demons and sword demons, are all left to Ren Qi."
"Oh?"
Liu Banxian made a strange expression. , "In that case, those romantic anecdotes with Japanese witches were also you?"
"No!"
Yin Xiu denied, "Ren Qi did it too."
"Where is the queen?"
"It was also Ren Qi." Yin Xiu said helplessly. .
"That master brother is really a sword that never grows old." Liu Banxian was quite envious, "I heard that he had several children with that Miao girl named A Ke in the Miao village?"
"Yes, I visited them a few times. Fortunately, those children followed their mothers. It would be terrible if they were like Ren Qi."
"That's right."
Liu Banxian quite agreed, "If everyone has the same temperament as the master brother, then there will be a lot of bloodshed in this world."
After sighing about this, Liu Banxian took out another bankbook and handed it to Yin Xiu .
"You know the password. All my wealth, including the secret treasures of the Liu family, are all given to you."
"How can I be embarrassed about this?"
Yin Xiu put his passbook into his windbreaker. Inside pocket.
“In fact, the patent fees that companies around the world give to Brother Xiong every year have been exhausted.”
Yin Xiu was quite troubled, “Hey, what do you think he is so capable of doing? Brother, I’m so tired that I have to spend money for him.”
"If you don't want it, just give it to me." Liu Banxian stretched out his hand.
Yin Xiu quickly ducked away.
But when it comes to Caihua Xiong, Yin Xiu feels a little sad.
“I told him a long time ago not to build a perpetual motion machine. That thing can’t be built, but he just didn’t listen. With so much equipment and so many people, he just hired them. The whole mountain It’s all his research institutes.
The results were good, the experiment was carried out and the explosion occurred. The entire mountain was flattened within a radius of twenty miles, and not even a piece of clothing could be found. "
"Brother Xiong always plays such a big game. Fortunately, he only blew up himself and didn't hit those cats and dogs."
Liu Banxian grinned, "I gave him a fortune teller, Logically speaking, he should have died in an explosion like that. However, the hexagram shows that he is not dead yet, but he can't be found. This is very strange. I can't be wrong. "
"Maybe he traveled through time and went. Is it another world?" Yin Xiu said.
"Time travel? You mean he went to another world and fought against all the invincible opponents in the world?"
Yin Xiu put his hands behind his head, "Maybe, maybe there really is someone. So boring, I like to travel back and forth.”
"Then let him go. I think even if Brother Xiong goes to some other world, he can't suffer any loss with his mind."
Liu Banxian scratched his face, "I heard that the Maoshan sect has been in the past few years. Want to find your heavenly master?”
“They can’t find me. "
Yin Xiu smiled, "With Nangong Celestial Master in front of me, how can I dare to be a Celestial Master? Moreover, the Celestial Master is serious and docile, so I can't do it. "
"Then who do you think the next Heavenly Master is?"
"It's not my turn, and I'm not qualified to decide, but I think it's very likely that they are descendants of the Mao family."
"Descendants of the Mao family?"
Liu Banxian asked doubtfully: "Hasn't Uncle Ming already returned to Daoshan? Are there any descendants of the Mao family?"
Yin Xiu showed a mysterious smile, "In fact, Uncle Ming later asked for a wife, did you know?"
“Huh!?”
Liu Banxian clicked his tongue in surprise, "With his bad temper, how can he get a wife?"
"He owns a building to collect rent! Since the Taoism has eliminated the three shortcomings and five shortcomings, isn't it normal for Taoist priests to ask for a wife? However, He later returned to the countryside to retire, so it’s normal that you don’t know.”
“Hey, this is indeed beyond my expectation.”
Liu Banxian had a smile that couldn’t be hidden. .
“By the way, have you been to Hawaii?”
"I've been there."
Yin Xiu smiled and said: "Beach, beautiful women, cold drinks, a paradise on earth."
Liu Banxian already knew who he was just by listening to Yin Xiu's description. I was so satisfied that I started laughing too.
Yin Xiu looked at Liu Banxian and recalled the days when they were born and died together more than forty years ago, and she became even more reluctant to part with this old friend.
“You said that you are no longer accurate in your calculations, and you never tell your own fortunes, so is it possible that you are not accurate?”
"The most important thing for a fortune teller is to be accurate."
Liu Banxian stopped laughing and shook his fan, very free and easy, "I said, today is the day when my life span is over, I can't be wrong. , Speaking of which, it’s your fault too, Brother Yin.”
“Why do you blame me? I didn’t harm you, right?”
“You didn’t harm me, but you lost several years of my life when I lured you into the Forbidden Palace. This is mine."
Yin Xiu smiled, "Then how do you want me to pay it back?"
"In the next life, you can pay me back double in the next life!"
As he spoke, Liu Banxian's eyes became sleepy.
“I’m very happy that you came here today, because I don’t have many friends, and you are my best friend. Once I see you, I feel at ease.”
Liu Banxian's tone gradually weakened, and the last few words were only the sound of exhaling.
Yin Xiu stood up, walked behind Liu Banxian, and gently grabbed his shoulders.
"Old man, they say that being a brother means that there is no life before us. We are different in age. However, I feel that if there is a next life, we will still be brothers."
He patted Liu Banxian's back gently and felt Liu Banxian's breath became weaker and weaker.
Yin Xiu was silent, thinking that Liu Banxian was slowly falling asleep.
Liu Banxian's eyelids were so heavy that he could not lift them up, and everything in his eyes was covered with mist.
Liu Banxian spoke intermittently, as if mumbling: "Eh? What a big white jade plate. Is that Kunlun? Is it Kunlun, Brother Yin?"
"Kunlun?"
Yin Xiu looked up and saw that the sky was clean except for the burning clouds.
"Where is it? Why can't I see it? Are you kidding me?"
Yin Xiu lowered his head and suddenly found that Liu Banxian had disappeared.
……
When Yin Xiu walked down the mountain and entered the street full of neon lights, Ma Xiaoyu was standing aside waiting for him.
When she saw Yin Xiu, she was speechless. She just stepped forward to hug him gently and comfort him.
"I'm fine."
Yin Xiu patted Ma Xiaoyu's back gently, still feeling warm and soft.
Things in the past seem like they only happened yesterday.
Ma Xiaoyu whispered: "I've always been there."
"I know."
Yin Xiu patted her a few more times. The two of them relied on each other most closely.
In the distance, Luo Wei was sitting in the coffee shop on the second floor waiting for them.
Because he became a Rakshasa, he seemed to stay young forever, but his face was a little paler than before.
He was enjoying coffee quietly and didn't want to disturb Yin Xiu and the others.
The waiter on the side introduced him: "Sir, what you are drinking is our signature cat poop coffee from Madagascar."
"What kind of coffee?"
" Cat poop coffee.”
Poof!
Luo Wei squirted the coffee in his mouth onto the glass.
It wasn't because of the coffee, but because he saw a woman running into Yin Xiu's arms.
Yin Xiu glanced at Laura Fana in her arms and was startled.
“Why are you here?”
Laura Fanna’s eyes were watery, “Cousin, I’m bankrupt again, so I have no choice but to come to you.”
Ma Xiaoyu still had a smile on her lips and asked gently: "Who is this woman?"
Yin Xiu quickly raised her hands and said with a wry smile: "Cousin." (End of Chapter)
