Qilin Jue [Tomb Raiders Notes]

As the box was opened, a gloomy stream of light was revealed from the gradually opened gap, which flashed by, as if it was just an illusion.

When the contents of the box were displayed in front of his eyes, Zhang Qiling's face changed and he frowned.

Xie Yuchen watched the change of his expression, moved the box in front of him, and said slowly: "I found this from the people at the auction, I believe you can understand the function of this thing. They took a lot of trouble and even took nine doors Being involved, just because of this thing, it should have a very important meaning. When I investigated the whole thing, I found that the Zhang family and the Xie family had a deep relationship. I don't know what happened, and I don't know you guys either. The matter of the Zhang family, but anyway, apart from looking for my own answers, I still hope that you can solve everything you want to know."

And Zhang Qiling stared straight at the things in the box, his eyes became more and more unbelievable.

"What's wrong?" The black glasses asked aloud seeing that he didn't respond.

"Brother?" Wu Xie raised his hand and waved in front of him, "Did you remember something?"

Xie Yuchen was also a little puzzled, he didn't expect Zhang Qiling to have such a reaction when he saw this thing.

Zhang Qiling suddenly raised his head, looked straight at Xie Yuchen, and asked in a slightly hasty tone: "Does your Xie family have a talisman that is passed down from generation to generation, only the head of the family has it?"

Xie Yuchen was taken aback, then nodded, "Yes, there is a talisman, but I don't wear it very often, what's wrong?"

"You said that the overseas organization had contact with the Xie family more than 20 years ago? It took something away, then disappeared, and then reappeared during the auction?" Zhang Qiling continued to ask, with a rare urgency.

"Well, that's it." Xie Yuchen replied, looking at Zhang Qiling with a strange expression, "Are you okay? What's the matter?"

Zhang Qiling took a step back, his breathing became slightly heavy, and his usual Wulan eyes were a little slack.

Seeing Zhang Qiling, who had always been indifferent, suddenly behave like this, the three immediately understood that he must have thought of something important, and it left a deep impression on him.

"You..." Zhang Qiling opened his mouth slightly, his eyes lost focus, "Hurry up."

The three of them were taken aback, and looked at him in disbelief.

"I said, get out of here quickly." Zhang Qiling repeated in a murmur.

Xie Yuchen and Wu Xie glanced at each other, seeing shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

The black glasses stared at Zhang Qiling closely, his expression sank, he grabbed Zhang Qiling's shoulder, and said anxiously: "Qiling? Qiling! Tell me what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Qiling raised his head and looked at the three people who were worried about him.He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he regained his composure.

Passing the box in his hand to the black glasses, Zhang Qiling said slowly: "Do you remember, when we were in Qinghai many years ago, you and I went to a place. I showed you something."

The black glasses took the box with a little doubt, and looked carefully, Zhang Qiling reached out and pointed to a certain part for him.

The black glasses couldn't figure it out at first, but suddenly remembered something, his expression suddenly changed, looked at Zhang Qiling, and said in a daze: "It's...they?"

"En." Zhang Qiling nodded, then walked to the star array on the ground, squatted down, looked at the star array and thought about something, and then said: "You also understand the seriousness of this matter. If that kind of thing happens again , it’s not as simple as it was back then. Zhang Haike and Jiumen have put in so much effort to keep the secret buried under Changbai Mountain, but now those people have started to act again.”

As he spoke, he turned to Xie Yuchen and said to him: "The other group of people I'm talking about have been incompatible with the Zhang family since ancient times. As long as the Zhang family has existed, they have existed for as long as they have. If the Zhang family is openly The largest family, then they are the shadows after the light. I don’t know their origins, but the previous patriarchs have been dealing with them. They have always coveted the secrets that the Zhang family has guarded for generations, so they once wanted to win over the old nine. In the end, almost all of them were rejected. In the end, they should have successfully persuaded the top executives of the Xie family at that time to join hands with the Xie family. But at that time, only a small team of them was dealing with the Xie family, that is, the one you mentioned more than 20 years ago. An organization that took something away from the Xie family. Their plan was to join hands with the Xie family to seize something guarded by the Zhang family. Instead of joining forces, it is better to use it. It can be seen from the behavior of giving up subsequent cooperation after getting a little clue Come out. This matter was later known by the Nine Gates, but the Xie family refused to admit it, and conflicts began to arise, which led to the old Nine Gates incident. In the end, the matter was settled, and the Nine Gates kept silent about this matter, and the high-level Xie family also concealed it It’s just that the clues from the beginning are still there, and then the organization failed to find anything. After so many years, they found an acquaintance, followed by an auction, and then it got out of hand.”

Xie Yuchen opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "How could this be? But, don't you also understand? How could you know so clearly?"

"I don't say it because I don't understand something." Zhang Qiling shook his head, "I have experienced those things, and I know almost all of them. It's just a clue that connects them all the time. If you show me this thing, I will Understood."

"But, then..." Knowing the truth suddenly, Xie Yuchen couldn't react for a while, "Why did you say let us go?"

Zhang Qiling was silent for a moment, then stood up, with an indifferent expression, "Because they start to act, the corresponding plan will also start. What they do is purposeful, and it is very dangerous. This time, I must have never been here." What you noticed, you can't be with me. And your doubts have been resolved, you can leave."

Zhang Qiling said the last sentence decisively, with a slightly cold tone, which made it clear that there was no room for negotiation.

Xie Yuchen was taken aback, his face gradually paled, but his eyes did not leave Zhang Qiling.Both hands secretly clenched tightly, then let go, and clenched again.

"Yeah, I know everything I want to know..." Xie Yuchen lowered his face slowly, "I, what reason do I have to stay...well..."

"Brother!" Wu Xie stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Qiling's hand, his expression flustered, "What are you talking about, do you want to go alone again?"

Zhang Qiling replied without any emotional ups and downs: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Let's go, don't follow."

Wu Xie opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth, and choked up.After a long time, his eyes were flushed, he lowered his eyelids, and murmured: "Do you...do you know...do you know why Xiaohua and I came here? Xiaohua didn't investigate the truth about the family, he was worried about you ! He and I came here because we wanted to see you, do you understand!" The last sentence almost roared out.

Zhang Qiling trembled imperceptibly, but he didn't show it.

Xie Yuchen looked at Wu Xie in shock, "Xiao Xie, you..."

Wu Xie turned her head and smiled at Xiao Hua, but she was powerless and pale, "Xiao Hua, actually I understand everything, I can see your thoughts on my little brother. I haven't shown anything because I don't want to expose the truth behind. The pain and embarrassment of each other, and I don't want to give up...although it may hurt you. You and I, as well as the black glasses, are actually the same, I don't want to give up. "

The black glasses never spoke again, and never took their eyes off Zhang Qiling.

Xie Yuchen smiled miserably, and turned his eyes to Zhang Qiling, madly and nostalgic.In the end, he lowered his head and said mockingly: "So you all understand, I thought it was well hidden. Then, I have no hope, I know it, but pretend I don't know it. I know your answer, I understand what to do..."

Xie Yuchen swayed and lowered his head so that his expression could not be seen.His tall body looked weak and helpless at this moment.

Zhang Qiling looked at Xie Yuchen, then turned his head away slightly, and there was something floating in his eyes.

"Brother..." Wu Xie held Zhang Qiling's arm tightly, and spoke with difficulty, his eyes were blurred, he bit his lower lip tightly, holding back the pain and despair in his heart, "Don't leave us alone, okay? ..."

Zhang Qiling remained silent, looking at Wu Xie who was holding onto him tightly and refused to let go, just like before, always following behind him, always chasing after his footsteps.

"Wu Xie..." He called him in the tone he used to protect him.

As if grasping hope, he looked up at him.

"open."

open.Two words of indifference.

Send hope to hell.

Zhang Qiling raised his hand and pulled it down, clutching his own hand tightly.Seeing the other party looking at him in despair and begging, he made up his mind not to look at him any more.

There was an eerie silence in the corridor.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Qiling turned around to put his luggage on his back, and then said to the black glasses: "Take the box, go to Zhang Haike, and go with them to the place mentioned above. If there is time, I will have enough time to stop them."

"Are you sure that I will do what you say?" The black glasses stared at him heavily, unable to distinguish his emotions, "Are you going to abandon me?"

"No." Zhang Qiling sighed helplessly, "Do as I say, and it shouldn't take long for the matter to be resolved. You know, it's always been like this before."

"Can it be the same this time?"

"...No matter what, I can only go there alone. As long as I destroy the clues they are looking for, there will be no more waves. I..."

"I'll wait for you." The black glasses said firmly.He knew what Zhang Qiling was going to say next, but he couldn't stop it.

When he was by his side, he knew that he couldn't be stopped.

Do not say see you.Don't say if you can't come back.

It can only be that I wait for you.So, definitely come back.

"You all go back the same way." Zhang Qiling said with his back to everyone, "The outside world may have been turned upside down. But it will not affect your life."

After speaking, I will leave.

"Zhang Qiling..." Xie Yuchen suddenly said, raised his head and stared at him closely, his face was as pale as paper, the wet marks from the corners of his eyes extended to his jaw, the pain and despair in his eyes were clearly visible, but he looked at him firmly, "Although I don't want to Admit it, but, is this your answer?"

Zhang Qiling was stunned, turned his head slowly, his face was hidden in the shadows, and he couldn't see clearly, "If I have a chance, I will explain everything that happened. Or..."

Or what, he didn't say.No one will know what he wants to say.

No longer staying, leaving without hesitation, the figure instantly sank into the dark depths.

A stone door fell with a bang, completely isolating each other.

The author has something to say:

It's been so long... Han Han came to admit the wrong QAQ (express pia me)

And it was abused as soon as it came up (it should be considered... OTL is not very good at writing abuse), the text is called Qilin Jue, so there will be a farewell scene...
