Chapter 84: Love and Hate in the Past
Chapter 84 Love and Hate in the Past
The train set off on time, and nothing happened on the way. But when I was having dinner in the dining car at night, I met the four students again. The female student in the lead obviously cried for a long time, her eyes were a little swollen, her face was a little haggard, and the others were also dissatisfied. When they saw Xu Changqing, they all looked glaring, as if they wanted to swallow Xu Changqing alive. After all, completely denying and refuting the beliefs that a person had pursued before was far more hurtful than slapping someone in the face.
On the dining table, Xu Changqing had already entered the stage of refining Qi and transforming the gods and gradually entered the unique fasting state of this stage, so he ordered a little vegetarian dish casually and ordered a bottle of French red wine. He had no appreciation for French red wine, but simply liked the gentle but not spicy feeling of red wine, so he could only be a wine customer.
"This is the wine that foreigners drink!" Guan Zheng obviously used to drink rice wine and white wine. It was obvious that he felt a little strange when he saw this kind of red wine for the first time. He looked carefully, frowned, and said, "Everyone said that foreigners are barbarians, which is indeed good! You can see that they brew wine. You see, the wine they bottled is not clean, and there are still lees foam floating on it!"
Xu Changqing smiled and asked the waiter to turn on the red wine, help Guan Zheng fill a glass, and said, "Try it! The taste is completely different from our Chinese wine."
Guan Zheng picked up the wine glass and tasted it with a sip. Obviously he swallowed it too quickly and didn't taste anything. He tasted it carefully. Then he frowned and shook his head and said, "It's not sweet or spicy, it's much worse than our Chinese wine. It feels like it's for women." As he said that, he felt that he was saying a little wrong, and quickly explained to Xu Changqing: "Master, I'm not talking about you mother!"
Xu Changqing did not mind, and after a sip of wine, he said, "It doesn't matter, personality determines people's food, clothing, housing and transportation. Just like I like quietness, so the things I prefer are mostly ordinary. Brother Guan likes lively, so the things I like naturally have to be stronger than mine."
As he said that, he ordered the waiter to change Guan Zheng a pot of fine Fenjiu.
Guan Zheng couldn't wait to fill the wine, and drank it in one breath regardless of the gazes of the people around him. Then he let out a long breath, wiped the stains on the corner of his mouth, and said, "This wine is so pleasant to drink!" As he said, he looked at Xu Changqing respectfully and said, "Master, your talent is really nothing to say. It's a truth to come to your place. Even the elders in my family are not as good as those in my family. Although we are about the same age, I am far from you."
"Everyone has his own strengths. Sometimes it may not be a good thing to know more. The more you know, the more you are afraid. On the contrary, those who don't know anything live very comfortably. Isn't there a saying that ignorance is a blessing?" Xu Changqing said, and took the latest issue of the Beijing Evening News bought from the Bazhou newspaper from the waiter. The two messages above made him feel how fierce the forces of good and evil are fighting in the capital. One is the curfew issued by the Army Department, which lasted until after the fifth day of the May Day. The other is a essay. The content is about some strange things that happened in the capital at night recently. Many people disappeared inexplicably. There are also some strange and unnatural phenomena such as lightning and thunder suddenly on a sunny day. In a blink of an eye, the sky covered the roof and other strange and unnatural phenomena appear in the capital from time to time.
Xu Changqing handed Guan Zheng the newspaper in his hand. Guan Zheng looked at it and his face became serious. He said, "It seems they have started to fight," and pointed to a slightly blurred photo on the newspaper, saying, "This is the Xuanyin Qi Killing Sword of the Jinguan Taoist of Fengyan Mountain. He has a very good relationship with Yan Daxia. Unexpectedly, Yan Daxia actually invited him out." As he closed the newspaper, he thought for a while and said, "After I came to Tianjin, I will transfer to Beijing directly and not stop in Tianjin."
"Is it necessary to be so anxious?" Xu Changqing guessed that Guan Zheng would say so, frowned, and said, "Now the true strength of both sides has not been revealed yet, and the struggle between them is still just testing the strength of each other. It will be of no use for you to pass it rashly like this."
Guan Zheng thought about it again and shook his head and said, "It would be fine if he didn't know. Now that I know that the dispute between good and evil has begun in the capital, I can't sit still no matter what. It's better to go to the capital to be a pioneer, and come happily!"
"Well! I can't dissuade you!" Xu Changqing sighed and reminded: "But Brother Guan must remember to be careful in everything and never show off his power."
"I know this." Guan Zheng smiled, lowered his head and began to enjoy the delicious food on the table.
At this time, the female student who had been ridiculed by Xu Changqing got up and walked to Xu Changqing. She wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say, but she felt a little unwilling to accept it when she returned. Xu Changqing turned to look at the female student, sighed, and asked the waiter to take some ice, then smashed it and wrapped it with a napkin, handed it to the female student, and said, "Use it to apply your eyes, the redness and swelling will soon disappear."
The female student was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but answer and whispered: "Thank you!"
"Young people, passionate patriotism is a good thing, but you must also distinguish between the primary and secondary, Xiaoming's interests, otherwise you passionate young people are easily exploited." Xu Changqing said to the female student by using an elder's approach, "Has your sister-in-law taught you this?"
"She taught..." The female student was about to answer, but was stunned immediately. She realized that the tone of Xu Changqing's speech just now was almost exactly the same as her virtuous sister-in-law, so she asked in surprise: "Do you know my sister-in-law?"
"Are you an old acquaintance!" Xu Changqing answered calmly, was silent for a moment, and asked again: "How is your sister-in-law's life?"
When a person who was a monk asked about his sister-in-law's recent situation, the female student was a little at a loss and didn't know how to answer. After a while, she simply said two words and said, "It's okay!"
Xu Changqing said nothing, nodded calmly, then picked up the wine glass, turned to look out the window. The female student forgot the main purpose of finding Xu Changqing for a while, and returned to the seat with a slightly dull expression on her handmade ice pack. When her companion reminded her, she could no longer pull her face and chat with her.
Xu Changqing did not return to the bedroom or change his clothes. He stayed in the dining car and quietly drank the bottle of red wine. Looking out the window, there was no expression on his face and his eyes were deep, as if he had fallen into some deep memories. Guan Zheng did not disturb him, but went back to the bedroom, took out his luggage and treasure chest, and returned to the dining car and accompanied Xu Changqing to drink the bottle of red wine that was really not his taste.
The train slowly drove into Tianjin Railway Station at 3 o'clock in the morning. Although it was already at night, the Tianjin Railway Station was still crowded. The direct trains between Tianjin and Peking were traveling four times a day. After reading the evening newspaper, many Peking people working in Tianjin were a little worried about their homes. They asked for leave from the foreign businesses they worked in and prepared to take a bus home to visit. Since most of them bought tickets after get off work, they took the last train, which made Tianjin Railway Station seem much more crowded than usual at this time.
Xu Changqing and the others did not need to squeeze into the platform. The railway station specially prepared a special passage for passengers in the No. 4 of each train, which directly leads to the train station hall. In the train station hall, Xu Changqing and Guan Zheng bowed their fists and said goodbye: "Brother Guan must be careful when going here. If there is any danger, go to Anding Building in the Mutton Hutong next to Liulichang to hide. The owner of Anding Building is a paradise. Xuangang Tianmo would not be willing to provoke him before he was not sure."
"There is such an expert. Can we..." Guan Zheng's eyes lit up after hearing this and he asked anxiously.
Xu Changqing shook his head and said, "He is the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, just like Xuangang Tianmo, but he has already seen it out and is unwilling to cause trouble in the world and commits himself to a small restaurant. Although he will not help Xuangang Tianmo, he will not help us even more. In fact, as long as he remains neutral, it will be the best help to us."
Guan Zheng nodded, said nothing, hugged Xu Changqing and said, "If you leave today, there will be a date later. Master, take care of me!"
"Take care!" Xu Changqing also clasped his fists and returned the favor, then watched Guan Zheng squeeze into the crowd and walked into the platform. He was not worried about Guan Zheng's safety. When he was in the car, he repeatedly calculated Guan Zheng's fate and found that he was a person with great blessings. This battle between good and evil in Peking would only be safe for him, and perhaps he could have some more adventures.
Compared to Guan Zheng, he was more worried about himself. In the past few days, he tried to use various methods to drive the Yin God Stick and the Huangquan Banner, but neither was useful. The Yin God Stick was better, and there was some sign of being able to drive. However, although the Huangquan Banner had been repaired 90% of the damage caused by the impact of the relic when it exploded, it was still stuck in the mind without death. With the assistance of Samadhi True Fire, it slowly refined and absorbed the war soul. Now the two top magic weapons that are most powerful to those ghost cultivators and demon cultivators cannot be used. The attack power of the spiritual treasure Maitreya robe and the Shishi Spirit Pearl that can be used is too small. The only one that can play a role may be the Yin God Fighting Ghost. So Xu Changqing thought that while there were still a few days left to train the copper armored corpse into an external incarnation, which would also add a boost.
Just as Xu Changqing was thinking about his own affairs, the students on the train ran out of the aisle one after another and rushed to their relatives waiting for them. The things they encountered during this trip were chattering from their mouths. Among all the people who came to pick up the car, a familiar figure attracted Xu Changqing's gaze, a decent slim cheongsam, her black hair was combed behind her head and then braided into small braids and drooped, looking particularly fresh, and her delicate facial features gathered together to form a beautiful face. If Hu Yueniang was charming and Tang Wan was beautiful, then her appearance was cold and beautiful, which made people amazed at it, but she was afraid to approach her because of fear. In the hall of the train station, it was obviously a beautiful scenery that attracted everyone's attention.
It was this woman who almost made Xu Changqing give up on the pursuit of Jindan Avenue. It was this woman who did not hesitate to give up everything and wanted to have a relationship with Xu Changqing for three lives. It was this woman who was abandoned by Xu Changqing on the wedding night and silently cut off her hair, just simply saying the word hatred. Today, when he saw this woman who had once dreamed of him, Xu Changqing's heart, which should have been passionate, seemed extremely calm, as if the woman that caught his eye was just a pedestrian everywhere on the roadside. This cold heart made Xu Changqing a little uncomfortable. He tried to recall the days that made people remember infinitely. However, although there was a little more warmth in his heart, he still could not have other strange feelings for that person. This phenomenon was like a person watching everything in his previous life. Although it could move you, it could not make you have a passionate relationship.
Although Xu Changqing can be ruthless, others cannot do this. When the woman heard from her sister-in-law that an old acquaintance was also here, she couldn't help but look here curiously. When she saw Xu Changqing, the expression on her face immediately stopped, and at the same time, it was not only her expression, but also her body and her heart. Seeing her sister-in-law's expression, the female student was a little at a loss. She looked at her sister-in-law, and then looked at the person staring at her sister-in-law. She couldn't help but see the scene that she could only read from the novel of the world before.
Xu Changqing didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. When he abandoned him for the Jindan Avenue, he never thought of seeing her again. But now when he saw her, the previous vows disappeared without a trace. No matter how good his eloquence was, he could not think of a word to break the deadlock in front of him.
Just when Xu Changqing was thinking about whether he should leave, the other party broke the deadlock first, rushed to Xu Changqing in front of everyone's eyes, completely ignoring the secular etiquette and hugged Xu Changqing tightly. Everyone was in an uproar, and all expressions appeared on their faces, and the female student's chin was about to fall to the ground. However, when Xu Changqing was still immersed in the shock of this hug, she took a step back and slapped Xu Changqing unexpectedly. The loud sound of the slap in the entire railway station hall could hear it. Many people seemed to feel the same and took a deep breath. Everyone paused and looked at this side.
With Xu Changqing's Hunyuan Golden Body's body protection power, her slap did not even have the ability to make Xu Changqing feel pain. Not only that, she also injured her hand. Xu Changqing looked at her holding her wrist and sighed, "Pity, it's been more than ten years, why are you doing this?"
The woman looked at Xu Changqing, not knowing whether it was a pain in her heart or a pain in her hands. Her eyes were covered by tears. She gritted her teeth and said, "Xu Changqing, why did you appear in front of me again? Why did you let me see you? I will never forgive you, I will hate you for the rest of my life!"
