Qilin Jue [Tomb Raiders Notes]

Wu Xie flipped through the information on the computer, and it had been almost four hours since morning.Looking at the densely packed paragraphs of text was really a headache, and in the end Wu Xie just felt that he didn't read anything.

It's been a morning and I haven't found any information.Wu Xie rubbed her eyes, took a sip of water from the cup, and then continued to read a little irritably.

"Boss, someone is looking for it!" The man came in and shouted.

"I've already said that I don't see anyone! If you have business, you can just take it." Wu Xie replied without raising his head.

"But……"

"Are you annoyed by not watching? I won't see you even when the king of heaven is here!" Wu Xie roared impatiently.

"Oh..." The man scratched his head and walked away, before going out he turned around and added: "By the way, he said his name is Zhang Qiling."

"I don't see you! Whatever his name is Zhang Qi..."

Before the words finished, the person who was sitting in front of the computer rushed out of the door like the wind.

Wu Xie ran to the front hall nervously and in disbelief. When she saw the quiet figure sitting in front of the counter flipping through the rubbings casually, her heart seemed to jump into her throat, and then fell heavily.

"Brother..." Wu Xie stared blankly at the man and murmured.

Zhang Qiling looked up at Wu Xie, then stood up from the chair, walked slowly to the table without saying a word, lifted the backpack on the table, and searched for something inside.

Wu Xie blinked, and followed him closely.

Finally, Zhang Qiling took out a small object that was as clear as cream, and handed it to Wu Xie.

"Give you."

"What?" Wu Xie was taken aback, looked down at the thing in his hand, and found that it was a piece of mutton fat jade, and looked up at him in surprise, "This is..."

"So that piece was broken by you, didn't you?" Zhang Qiling said.

"You...do you still remember?" There was a glint of joy in Wu Xie's eyes.

He once mentioned liking jade by accident, but he never thought that when he met Zhang Qiling again, he would give him a piece as a gift.But then the piece of jade that was regarded as a treasure was accidentally broken by myself, and I was sad for a long time because of this. broken.

Wu Xie took Peiyu slowly, with the temperature of the other party still on it, she couldn't help tightening her hands, "Thank you, little brother."

"fine."

"I'm really happy," Wu Xie smiled with lowered eyes, "So you still remember what I said."

"En." Zhang Qiling responded.In fact, he only discovered this thing when he was sorting out the previous things, and he was about to come to Wu Xie again, when he suddenly remembered it and brought it here.

Wu Xie lowered his head and smirked for a long time, then suddenly realized that he hadn't said anything serious, and quickly raised his head and asked, "By the way, brother, why are you here?"

"Just take a look." Zhang Qiling said.

"Did you come to see me?" Wu Xie blurted out, blushing suddenly after speaking, and dared not look up.Really, I actually asked so directly...

Zhang Qiling was silent for a few seconds, and then said "hmm".

Hearing the affirmative answer, Wu Xie's heart throbbed wildly, he paused, and said tentatively: "Then, how long will you stay?"

"A day or two." Zhang Qiling said.In fact, he came here not only to look at Wu Xie, but also to temporarily avoid the eyes and ears of some people.It's not really over until it's all over.And at that time, maybe it was also the time when he really left.

"That's it..." Wu Xie lowered his eyelids in frustration, and lowered his voice, "Can't we stay a little longer?"

"No." Zhang Qiling said softly, "The black glasses are still waiting for me."

"He's here too?"

"No, he will come by then."

"Oh..." Wu Xie clenched the jade in his hand tightly.It was so hard to meet again, I didn't expect the time to be so short...

Taking a deep breath secretly, Wu Xie turned to the guy outside the door who was poking his head curiously, "Leave work early, Wang Meng, you can go back."

After the buddy left, Wu Xie took Zhang Qiling into the back room and sat down, then poured two cups of tea, put a cup in front of Zhang Qiling, sat down himself, and stared at Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling didn't seem to notice his gaze, drinking tea slowly.

However, Wu Xie was carefully describing the subtle changes of Zhang Qiling during this period. His hair seemed to have grown a little longer, very pure black, and very soft. He lowered his head slightly to cover his black eyes, which complemented his face. He is getting more and more indifferent, but it is undeniable that he looks better like this...

Wu Xie was almost obsessed with seeing it, and it took a long time before he suddenly regained his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.He coughed twice and grabbed the hem of his clothes unnaturally, but he didn't know what to say.

He wanted to ask him why he just showed up now, and also wanted to ask him if he went to see Xiao Hua... But it seemed hard to say these things, and finally Wu Xie could only ask, "Brother, did you go to Beijing before you came?"

Zhang Qiling nodded.

"Then, what's going on?" Wu Xie said with some embarrassment, "Why did you enter that snow mountain burial mausoleum alone, and... said those words..."

Zhang Qiling paused slightly while drinking tea, he raised his eyes to look at Wu Xie, and looked away after a while, without saying anything.

Wu Xie was a little anxious, staring at Zhang Qiling and waiting for him to speak.

But Wu Xie obviously forgot how good Zhang Qiling's patience is. He doesn't like to talk to people, and he can stay silent for a whole day without saying a word, so it's simply seeking abuse .

After staring at each other for a long time, Wu Xie finally realized this problem. In desperation, he had to lower his head to drink tea, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: Dead boring oil bottle, it's always like this, if you say a word, you will die!

As if he suddenly remembered something, Wu Xie's eyes lit up, he quickly got up and ran to the desk, rummaged around in the pile of books next to the computer, turning the rows of books into a mess.Finally, he found a photo. The photo looked brand new, but the picture on it was very old and a little yellowed.

After finding the things, Wu Xie went back and sat down again, handed the photo in his hand to Zhang Qiling to show him, and said, "Do you have any impression of this photo?"

Zhang Qiling took the photo, holding the slightly yellowed black and white photo with his fair and slender fingers, the contrast was sharp.He casually glanced at the people in the photo, but then he slowly froze, and when he locked his eyes on a certain person in the photo, his fingers trembled slightly.

"I received this in the mail some time ago. I don't know who the sender is. I printed this photo so that I can easily find its origin and background." Wu Xie said slowly, "You should know the person above. The person from him, and the one named Qi Yu."

Zhang Qiling remained silent, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Wu Xie looked at him and said seriously: "Brother, in fact, I understand many things clearly, and I have tried my best to find the answers, but I just don't know if it is true. If you don't want to talk about it, just tell me. Is it okay to know the part?"

Zhang Qiling didn't answer, and after staring at the photo for a long time, he raised his eyes, his calm eyes couldn't tell if he was thinking about it.After a while, he put down the photo and said slowly, "You won't understand even if I tell you."

Seeing Zhang Qiling let go, Wu Xie hurriedly said, "It's okay! Just say what you want, I can understand it myself."

Zhang Qiling glanced at him, finally lowered his eyes, and said slowly: "This photo was taken before I entered the bronze gate last time."

"Last time?"

"Eight years ago."

Wu Xie couldn't help but swallowed. Twenty-nine years ago, I seemed to be only one or two years old, a child who couldn't speak well, but Poker Ping was already like this at that time.

Although I know that Zhang Qiling is the head of the Zhang family, and because of his special blood relationship, he has a long life.But thinking about it carefully, Wu Xie still found it unbelievable, and suddenly thought, since Zhang Qiling knew Jiumen, would Zhang Qiling have seen himself when he was a child?

This strange but not impossible idea immediately stunned Wu Xie for a while.

"Why did you go in?" Wu Xie restrained his thoughts after a long time, and then asked.

"The promise of the Nine Gates." Zhang Qiling said, "The people in the photo are the heads of the previous generation of the Nine Gates. This happened after I entered the Bronze Gate. At that time, an important thing that the Nine Gates guarded together for generations suddenly disappeared for some reason. , there is no clue. At the same time, a hostile force against the Nine Gates has risen in the outer sea area."

"That thing..." Wu Xie frowned, "Is it the one Xiao Hua said was obtained by Xie's family but lost?"

Zhang Qiling nodded.

"That is to say, after you entered the Bronze Gate, there was a rebellion in the Xie family many years ago?" Wu Xie asked in surprise.

"Well. Later, I left the Bronze Gate to look for it, but I encountered that organization." Zhang Qiling said slowly, "They were also looking for that thing, and my actions were hindered."

"That's why there are a series of things before? But why do they want that thing?"

"Benefits." Zhang Qiling said lightly, "The people who covet the Zhang family are all for this."

"Then why did you enter the Bronze Gate again?" Wu Xie asked puzzled.

"They want to find clues from me, as long as I don't show up, they can't do anything."

Hearing this, Wu Xie couldn't help complaining. When Zhang Qiling was about to enter the Bronze Gate, he chased him hard and tried every means to dissuade him. In the end, he knocked him out and left him, but as soon as the black glasses went, he killed him. I brought it back, isn't this differential treatment...

"What happened later? Why did you go to the snow mountain burial mausoleum alone?" Wu Xie asked.

Zhang Qiling paused for a moment before saying: "Qi Yu got that thing."

"So you have to go in person? But, I still don't understand, what exactly is that thing you are talking about?"

"You are not in the game, there is no need to know. Everyone who knew...all died." Zhang Qiling said softly, "Including Qi Yu."

Wu Xie held back for a long time, but still didn't dare to continue asking.Although Zhang Qiling's words were not threatening him, but just stating a certain fact, those words were still very deterrent.

"Cough." Wu Xie cleared his throat, and nervously asked the most puzzling question in his heart: "It seems that you and that Qi Yu are very familiar?"

Zhang Qiling turned his head and didn't speak.

Wu Xie said: "Third uncle told me that he looks the same as me, and this is not only disguised, but also a long period of language and behavior imitation. Although I don't know why he borrowed my identity, but in In my past experience, I did have some doubts about this person."

"He is a member of the Jiumen Qi family." Zhang Qiling said, "He is also a member of the previous generation."

Wu Xie froze for a moment, then suddenly realized, yes, there is indeed a Qi family in the Nine Gates.But who is Qi Yu from the Qi family?

Wu Xie was about to ask again, but Zhang Qiling didn't seem to want to say anything anymore, he got up and walked outside.

"Brother!" Wu Xie was startled, thinking that Zhang Qiling was about to leave soon, his heart sank in vain, he rushed forward and grabbed him, his eyes were wide open, anxious and panicked, he spent the time All the words I kept in my heart were said, "Where are you going! Didn't you say you wanted to see me? Now it's hard to wait for you to come back. It's not been an hour yet. Where are you going! You You once said to let me take you home, so here it is! It will always be! Once you come, you will not be allowed to run away!"

Zhang Qiling looked at him silently, and after he finished talking, he said slowly: "I don't want to leave."

Hearing what Zhang Qiling said, Wu Xie slowly let go of his heart, then he let go of Zhang Qiling's clothes and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Then you won't leave? I mean, you will stay with me these few days, right?" Wu Xie stared at him expectantly.

Zhang Qiling didn't speak, and seemed to be thinking about it.

"Stay here, little brother." Wu Xie continued without giving up, but Zhang Qiling still didn't reply, Wu Xie became anxious, and stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Qiling's clothes again, with a look of grievance in his eyes, and curled his mouth, There is a posture that if you don't agree, I will cry and show you right away.

Zhang Qiling couldn't help feeling a little funny and helpless, so he responded, "En."

Wu Xie grinned happily, with a kind of naive stupidity, but he was not happy enough, Zhang Qiling's next sentence made him stunned.

"Why are you still the same as when you were a child?" Zhang Qiling looked at the smirking Wu Xie and said thoughtfully.

"Ah?" Wu Xie was taken aback, "Wh... what is the same..."

"You haven't changed much since you were a child." Zhang Qiling said lightly what made Wu Xie lose his soul instantly.

"...Have you really seen me?!" Wu Xie took a deep breath.

"I've seen it twice, but I don't know much about it," Zhang Qiling said.Those distant and vague memories are occasionally remembered, but they are also very short-lived.

Wu Xie stared at him blankly, suddenly feeling a space-time disorder.It turns out that I have met him so early...

A hazy childhood memory suddenly appeared in my mind. In that sudden time, there seemed to be an indifferent and lonely figure, occupying the deepest place, never forgotten.The more memories, the clearer they become. In the end, they overlap perfectly with the figure in front of me at this moment...

Wu Xie could hardly breathe.It turned out that he really met Zhang Qiling when he was a child!That figure that is always vague but never forgotten is really Zhang Qiling... Could it be that I have had a deep-rooted affection for Zhang Qiling since then?
