Black Flower · Dansha Banquet

【[-] · Wind and Dust】End Chapter

Is fate really easy to talk about?Xie Yuhua arranged the chess pieces in her hand one by one, looking at their respective landing points.Life is like a game of chess.Each lined up their troops, strategized, and spent the rest of their lives on the chessboard.In the end it's always you die or I live.It's just that many people spend their whole lives fighting against all kinds of things in life, you advance and you retreat.

It's hard to say that someone has truly overcome life or the world, and it is regret or regret in the end.

They can't have it, they can only move forward.

And their opponents on the chessboard are invisible and intangible enemies.Xie Yuhua dropped a piece and watched the rise and fall of the hands on the opposite side of the chessboard.Winning or losing is extremely important here.Because the bet is life.A little carelessness, a miss, is death.

But the game in front of him doesn't need to think so much, it doesn't matter if he loses or wins, but just let it go with a smile.Xie Yuhua feels that fate is the same, like a game of chess, intertwined and will break one day.

Advance, eat, and lose pieces are put into the chess box on the right hand.

Xie Yuhua looked at the map laid out on the desktop. It was very old, and there were many traces of drawing and sketching on it. There were also many graphic marks on the manuscript next to it. It was his notes, and he drew many pages. , in some places, the force penetrates the back of the paper, because the writing is too heavy.

Xie Yuhua fell on the chair, temporarily putting down those exhausting things.He understands most of the information.It is also because of this that he knows how dangerous this place is. More specifically, he can only know it when he goes there, and there is no way to prevent it in advance.

As spring came and autumn came, Xie Yuhua turned her head and looked out the window. The yellow leaves were being blown down by the autumn wind, and the sky was getting darker. He only noticed that she was too engrossed just now.

The chess piece rubbed in his hand, and finally fell down.All the chess pieces are so similar, with hideous faces, wandering wantonly on the chessboard, blurred into a ball, invisible to the eye.He was thinking of other things.

Fingers inadvertently drew circles on the nanmu table, and the words on the notebook became clearer.Having understood the situation, it is useless to hesitate any longer.Xie Yuhua took a deep breath, stretched out her fingers and landed on the notebook.Then there is the consideration of personnel.

The wind chimes in front of the door jingled as the wind blew by, and the remaining skylight fell on the ground through the cracks.Further forward is his back blurred in the dust.The chess box is gradually full, the chessboard is gradually empty, and they are all caught in a desperate struggle.

The person hidden in the darkness chuckled: "Master Hua'er, you lost."

Xie Yuhua is like waking up from a dream.

His fingers still stayed on the pattern on the book.

When I came back to my senses and looked at the chessboard again, I saw the wrong move.One wrong step, and the whole game is lost.in this way.

He got it.

Close the notebook and fold the map.Push the door and walk out from the darkness of the room.The sky withdrew all light and gradually sank into purer darkness.There was a ray of light.Those are the searchlights of the city.

There is darkness ahead, and he needs to give himself the light.risk everything.

Xie Yuhua also laughed: "The skills are not as good as others, and I'm showing my ugliness." I didn't notice it when I was distracted.

It's not that your skills are inferior to mine, but that you haven't tried your best.

Xie Yuhua was stunned, but when she looked up, the person had already disappeared.I don't know who is playing chess with him.

Is it the person in front of him, or those secret enemies, or just his own life.

He didn't know whether this step was right or not, and he couldn't think about it that much.He cannot stay where he is because he is afraid of going wrong.

The black blind man seems to think so too.She gestured to him and smiled before leaving.

Don't worry, wait for me to come back.

He has an inexplicable trust in the blind man.Maybe it's so similar, like seeing another self.He also hopes in his heart that you will come back safely.

Life is like chess, pieces of chess are scattered on the ground, which is full of mess.Xie Yuhua was still sitting quietly, there was nothing on the chessboard, and there were still chess pieces rolling forward on the ground, in such a mess.Perhaps he has seen the results.

Xie Yuhua closed her eyes, brushing away all the light and shadow in front of her eyes.Perhaps that is the case with the dark world.He randomly picked up a chess piece from the ground and pushed it onto the board:

"Will."

In late autumn, frost is about to fall, and sunshine is rare.Xie Yuhua collected her costumes and some ancient books and went out to dry them. The sun spread over most of the yard. When Xie Yuhua was squatting on the ground and turning pages, a clerk rushed in and told him the news.

All, all wiped out.

Xie Yuhua stood up and looked at the opposite guy with a calm and terrifying expression.The wind blew up the pages of the books hanging on the ground, layer upon layer, but he didn't care.

Everyone is dead, and that includes the black blind man.He said that his fate is not his fate, but in this case, the first thing he thought of was him.

Whether it is reasonable or unexpected.

Xie Yuhua knew that the fight was dangerous, but it was really important.At the beginning, I would not have taken such a big risk to photograph it.In the end, it was the black blind man who lit the sky lantern and took the photo, but it cost his own life, how ironic it is to think about it.

It was a map, and there was a design drawing of Style Lei in the mezzanine inside. Of course, the latter discovered by accident, and Xie Yuhua originally went to that map.

Xie Yuhua knows that there are many people who are targeting the Xie family, and the real enemy of the Xie family is hidden among them, but he still doesn't know which one it is. The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the open. This situation is very dangerous.So no matter what, this battle must be won. Xie Yuhua had a premonition that if this battle was lost, then the Xie family would decline uncontrollably until it was destroyed and ceased to exist.He won't let that happen.

He may not be here, but Xie's family must be there.

That time, letting Heixiazi fight was not only to solve the trouble with one less thing, but also to test him. He never let down his vigilance against any suspicious person.Maybe Hei Xiazi is the one hiding in secret, like a gangster, so removing him temporarily is also a strategy.If it is really an enemy, then the day of Dansha Banquet will pass easily.If not, the conflict between Hei Xiazi and those people can be temporarily alleviated.Xie Yuhua wanted to wait for him to solve the problem of the Dansha Banquet before dealing with the rest.

I just didn't expect the blind man to appear suddenly.He probably suspected him when the second sky lantern was lit.At that time, the suspicion that Hei Xiazi was an enemy reached the maximum level, and almost all the famous people went to the Dansha Banquet.With the method of exclusion, only the black blind man can be thought of.That night, even if there was only one percent chance, he would try it.Xie Yuhua reserved the most extreme means for herself.

It's just that the black blind man is so strange that he ruled out his suspicion that he is an enemy.

Later, gradually, there is still a good impression.

At least he got the things in his hands, one step faster than his enemy, but he didn't expect that the fight would be so dangerous, and no one came back.Xie Yuhua frowned. If "it" deliberately let them get this thing, it means that they have become experimental guinea pigs, or maybe "it" knew from the beginning that they could not crack this place, deliberately Give it to them.

This appears to be a conspiracy.

Everything needs to be sacrificed, Xie Yuhua is not afraid of sacrifice, what is afraid is that nothing can be exchanged for sacrifice.If this is the case, the Xie family is still on the road to decline.

They are like prey covered by a net, but they can't even touch the edge of the net.

Of course Xie Yuhua didn't believe it.With so many people, how could it be possible to just say no and be gone.

He knew that the fight was dangerous, but so many good players... Xie Yuhua took a deep breath and waved his hand to let the guy go down.The facts are established, no matter what, we can only accept it.

Is this what they want to see now?So many masters have fallen into this bottomless pit, and they would have suffered heavy losses without their hands. If this continues, Xie's family will be destroyed by itself.

He thought he was fighting for time, he thought he had seized the opportunity, but in fact it was just a well-dug hole carefully dug by others.

Maybe those people let them get this thing on purpose at the beginning, knowing that this place is dangerous, they used them as cannon fodder first.But Xie Yuhua didn't regret it, he never regretted what he did.Adults know that regret is useless.Instead of having time to regret, it is better to find a way to solve the problems caused by this incident.

Although it is said that the troops sent out before have been wiped out, the second echelon of the organization still needs to be organized.There are not many good players left, and he wants to go himself to see what's going on in this place.

Xie Yuhua temporarily pressed down the news that the previous army was wiped out. He originally wanted to release the news of the lama on the road immediately, but he just sent out a team not long ago, and now he is in a hurry to arrest the lama. , it is very easy to arouse suspicion.

After three days of pretending to be calm, Xie Yuhua suddenly received a booklet, which was an auction album from the Crescent Hotel.Seeing this Xie Yuhua, he remembered that the triennial cinnabar banquet was about to begin, these few days were so busy and chaotic, he almost forgot about it.Xie Yuhua casually flipped through the brochure, but found nothing new, and nothing he particularly needed.Just when she was about to throw it away, she caught a glimpse of something, and Xie Yuhua was stunned for a moment.

It was a begonia pendant, so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar, it was presented to Heixiazi when he first met him.

Xie Yuhua grabbed the brochure again and took a closer look. The pattern and engraving were definitely the same as the one he gave to Hei Xiazi back then. It couldn't be anything else.

Why does the black blind man's stuff appear at the auction?Besides, isn't he dead?Is this a relic?Who will come to sell this thing?Xie Yuhua understands the rules of the auction house, all information about the seller is kept confidential, and asking the staff will not give any results, only a polite "no comment".

Xie Yuhua felt that this must be intentional. If unrelated people accidentally picked up Heixiazi's things, they would not bring them up for auction on a scene like the Crescent Hotel.If it is a relevant person, either they want to make a lot of money from it, or they have other plans. Only he and Hei Xiazi know the meaning of this jade pendant.He might be the one who has another picture. Could it be that the seller has some message to convey to him?It still means that the blind man is still alive, so where is he now, and why didn't he come to see him.If it is the latter, then the seller is either blind or someone who knows the meaning of this jade pendant.Perhaps it was entrusted to him by the blind man.In short, this thing will appear here, it must be related to the black blind man.

Sitting in a familiar place again, Xie Yuhua has a feeling that things are different from others.The people downstairs are noisy, but the scene upstairs is familiar, and it doesn't seem to matter if one person is missing.It was cloudy and rainy outside, and the lights inside were brightly lit, separating the darkness outside.

The bell rings and the auction begins.Originally, I wondered if I would see him here again, but behind the opposite curtain, Xie Yuhua stared at the scarlet curtain for a long time, this was the first time he and the blind man met here , it was supposed to be Qi Ming, but the man is gone now, things are different, if the black blind man is gone...

Xie Yuhua stopped thinking about it and turned her attention back to the auction.There always seems to be a shadow floating behind the curtain, but when the eyes catch it, it disappears.

There was the patter of rain in my ears.

At that time...

Holding an umbrella, standing in the rain, looking at the blind man not far away.He was lowering his head to light a cigarette, and after he finished lighting, he raised his head and exhaled, saying to him:

"There are people behind us, we can't escape."

"I do not understand what you mean."

"You understand, Xie Yuhua, don't play dumb."

But how are they going to escape... The beast brewing in Xie Yuhua's silence didn't come out after all, he just held up the umbrella and watched the blind black man spit out a puff of smoke, blending with the rain, making it difficult to distinguish between you and me.

He was used to not asking such fruitless questions.

Time goes back to the present.

Things flashed before his eyes.Yes, it was his one.Black blind man, how could you drop such things.Xie Yuhua rang the bell.

That auction is over.

All the stories and cause and effect seem to be just beginning.

In the sleepy autumn, the setting sun is halfway down, warming the courtyard, and the simple couches, tables and chairs are also dropped along with the window panes.A figure came leisurely along the courtyard wall.

Xie Yu spent in the room.But ten meters apart.

"Master Hua'er, long time no see."

Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind, Xie Yuhua was stunned for a moment, then turned around, and saw a person leaning against the door frame, smiling evilly at the corner of his mouth, smoking the cigarette in his mouth and smiling at him.

Xie Yuhua put down the things in her hand, turned around and looked at him, obviously a little surprised: "You are not dead."

"Pfft, when did I say I'm dead. God bless me this time, I'm lucky." The blind man walked in, and only then did Xie Yuhua see that he was carrying something wrapped in rags on his back. It is a knife.

"You received my message, and I knew that Beijing is still safe for the time being, so I came back." Heixiazi poured a cup of tea from the pot, "But they are all dead, and it is unfortunate that I can escape Fortunately."

"News? You mean your item at the auction?"

"Well, I know that if it were you, you would definitely buy it. Although it is not worth much."

"Very valuable." Xie Yuhua pushed back.

The blind man stubbed out the cigarette, "From the moment we entered, someone was watching us, and I couldn't protect myself. They also set up defenses outside, and they didn't intend to let everyone go. It was a waste of time for me to escape from under their noses." A lot of twists and turns."

"Really?" Jie Yuhua picked the thing on his back with eyes, "Then you still have the heart to carry it out? Is it a very valuable ghost weapon, and you won't forget it when you run for your life."

"This is a very important thing, and I'm going to give it to someone." The black blind man took off the cloth-wrapped knife on his back and touched it, "Master Hua, the fun is about to begin. You have to believe , I'm on your side."

"Those who dare to play around with us, I will make them pay a thousand times and a hundred times the price." The black blind man smiled mysteriously, raised his hand to his chin and kissed it.

One more person is about to appear.

[Conclusion] Let me explain the ending to everyone, for fear that some people will not understand.Of course, if you can understand without reading the explanation, let me praise you first.

"You have a fate with this knife. You brought it out of the soil and sold it to me, but in the end you took it back yourself."

"I'll give it back to him, customer service is important."

—— "Sand Sea II"

This is a conversation between the third uncle in Shahai Erli and the blind man, and it is about the little brother's black gold ancient knife.And when Wu Xie entered the ancient building of the Zhang family, he discovered that the burials in the tomb of Zhang Qiling of the previous generation were missing.

"In other words, it is this group of people who took away the two ring-shaped objects and the ancient black gold knife."

"Then, is the black gold ancient knife that appeared in Sanshu's shop at that time (later sold to Poker Ping) the same one that was stolen here?

I have a strong gut feeling that it must be, otherwise things wouldn't make sense. "

——"Tomb Raiders Notes: Part [-]"

So there is reason to guess that the blind man brought the black gold ancient sword out of the ancient building of the Zhang family. Of course, it does not mean that the fight that Lord Hua asked the blind man to go to is the ancient building of the Zhang family.In this way, you should know who the "that person" refers to in the ending, and those who don't know will be dragged out and beaten in the face by the book for an hour.

Explain the above, and ask if there is anything you don't understand.Thank you for your support in the past few months, and finally filled this pit [applause], but there are still many pits, hey, fill them slowly.

After that, it fell into the period of updating and reveling.
