Taoist priest in the foggy capital

Repeat chapters, don't set

Huge devices that look like light bulbs are located in the city. They are huge generators that collect solar energy, and each light bulb is as high as dozens of stories.

At the waists of those light bulbs, there are railways above the city, some winding and some straight. These are the rapid transit railways above the city. The children call them ribbons.

On these glowing ribbons, steam locomotives spewed smoke and shuttled quickly, carrying people to their destinations.

"Master, why do we have to go up the mountain? The roads here are not easy to find."

The young maid gasped.

Liu Banxian widened his eyes.

He didn't come back to his senses until the maid's breathing stabilized.

"What do you know?"

Liu Banxian opened his fan and shook his head.

"If you want to observe the weather, you have to climb to a high place! If you don't climb to a high place and look down, how can you see the clouds in different places clearly? Back then, I traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, and I even went up there on an airship just to observe the weather."

"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. You have to say it several times a day."

"is it?"

Liu Banxian stroked his chin, "Do I really say this kind of thing often?"

"of course."

The maid counted on her fingers for him, "You said that you once broke through the Nine Dragons Boxing Ring and conquered my mother.

Later, another person with a sword entered the Immortal Capital and challenged the Qi Refiners in the world. I have heard you talk about it many times, riding alone for a friend for thousands of miles and entering and leaving the Forbidden Palace seven times. "

"Oh?"

Liu Banxian scratched his head and said with a sigh: "It happened more than 40 years ago, but when I think about it now, it seems like it happened yesterday."

The maid obviously didn't believe that Liu Banxian had such ability, but she didn't expose him or question his interest. She just asked, "Master, if you are really as good as you say, why can't you calculate accurately?"

"It's hard to tell? Who said that?"

Liu Banxian was very angry, "I'm telling you, Mary, you can call a fortune teller ugly, but you can never say that he is inaccurate.

Besides, I only predict national events. I am too lazy to predict things like someone's wallet is lost or their dog dies, so how can I predict accurately?"

Having said this, Liu Banxian sighed again, "Alas, maybe I revealed too many secrets, so I may not be able to predict it correctly later. Who told me to calculate the fortune of the world and the location of the dragon veins?
However, I am quite accurate in palmistry. Come, I will help you to read your marriage fate."

The maid smiled and pulled her hand back, "Master, my mother will be unhappy if you do this."

Liu Banxian snorted, "Your mother? I've said before that even though she was as thin as a bamboo pole when she was young, she would definitely gain weight when she gets older. Look at her now, she's as fat as a ball and can't even walk."

The maid chuckled and was not angry.

She just brought up the previous question again, "Master, this is the first time I've come up this mountain with you. You never said before that you wanted to come here to see the clouds. Why do you suddenly seem interested today?"

"It's nothing."

When mentioning this, Liu Banxian seemed somewhat happy, "I have a friend coming, I'll wait for him here."

It was dusk at this time, and the sun had already set behind the light bulbs, refracting orange light through the transparent glass covers and shining on Liu Banxian's face.

"friend?"

The maid asked in confusion, "Didn't the master always meet his friends in nightclubs before?"

"Those are not friends at all. They are just drinking buddies."

Liu Banxian smiled, "The one who is coming today is my life-and-death friend, my brother! Back in Changbai Mountain and Southern Xinjiang, I saved him many times, so he and I are inseparable.

We have such a good relationship that we always book the same table and call the same girls when we go to nightclubs."

"That's truly best friends."

The maid nodded and said, "Then I'll ask the kitchen to add more food later."

"no need."

Liu Banxian waved his hand and said, "My friend is very busy and may not be able to have time for dinner. By the way, if you have nothing else, you can go back first."

"Then I'll pick you up later?"

"no need."

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 completely confused. Whenever Liu Banxian was in Hong Kong Island, he would have dinner at home no matter how busy he was. This was the first time he said there was no need to prepare dinner.

"go Go."

Liu Banxian waved his hand and said, "Let me watch the sunset here alone."

After the maid left, Liu Banxian leaned back in his chair, staring at the sunset, tapping rhythm on his leg with one hand, and humming softly.

"I'm looking for my way through the heavy fog silently. I hope I'm lucky enough to meet your footsteps on the way. I want to see you again, and I just want to express my true feelings, my love!"

"Being truly captured, as if trapped, exploring this path of love..."

"I fell in love, but you were watching from the outside, never letting go..."

"Hate, love, stirring in my heart, this trap, this trap..."

"I happened to meet him!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Banxian did not turn around, but smiled and said: "Brother Yin, you still sing so well, better than Liu Hua and Guo Cheng."

"Of course, I taught you this song."

Yin Xiu was still wearing the same outfit, windbreaker and leather boots.

He sat next to Liu Banxian and watched the sunset quietly.

Liu Banxian glanced at him from behind his sunglasses and said, "Brother Yin, it's been more than 40 years. How come you haven't aged yet? You look exactly the same as when you went to the Forbidden Palace?"

"Maybe it's 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 Fountain.

"I wonder if Laura Fountaine used this ring to turn me into a vampire?"

"Hey, this ring has saved your life several times, and you still say this?"

Liu Banxian looked at him and said, "In my opinion, she doesn't look like a vampire, nor does she look like a Rakshasa. And Miss Ma, no, Mrs. Yin, isn't she the same as you? She is still youthful and invincible after more than 40 years.

In my opinion, this is not a curse, but a gift, right? Maybe it is the gift from Kunlun Baiyujing that you mentioned? "

"Didn't you later firmly believe that we were just taken away by aliens, and not to Kunlun?" Yin Xiu asked.

"it's the same."

Liu Banxian placed his hands on his knees and said, "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. What's important is that you have indeed gained some benefits, right?"

"Maybe so." Yin Xiu did not comment.

Liu Banxian adjusted his sunglasses and said, "Come to think of it, we haven't seen each other for a few years, right?"

"I've had a lot to do in recent years."

"Yes, you are very busy. When have you ever had a break in the past forty years?"

Liu Banxian recounted in detail what Yin Xiu had done over the years.

"Maybe we really reshaped the Kyushu Dragon Veins, or as you said, we actually did nothing?"

"It doesn't matter," Yin Xiu spread his hands, "It's all just wasted time."

Liu Banxian didn't think so. "There is also the crossing to Japan and entering the Ise Shrine. You defeated all the great swordsmen in Japan with one sword. Even a swordsman like Emperor Mingchuan couldn't withstand a single blow from you."

"That wasn't done by me. It was done by Ren Qi."

Yin Xiu corrected him: "Xiaoyu and I are dealing with the Yin Yang Master and those evil gods. As for those Japanese warriors, sword demons, sword ghosts, etc., they are all left to Ren Qi."

"Oh?"

Liu Banxian forced out a strange expression, "In that case, those romantic anecdotes with the Japanese witch were also caused by you?"

"certainly not!"

Yin Xiu denied, "It was also done by Ren Qi."

"Where's the queen?"

"It's also Ren Qi." Yin Xiu said helplessly. "That master brother is really still sharp."

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 went to see them a few times. Fortunately, those children followed their mother. It would be terrible if they were like Ren Qi."

"That's right."

Liu Banxian agreed, "If everyone has the same temper as Brother Master, then there will be bloodshed in this world."

After lamenting about this, Liu Banxian took out a passbook and handed it to Yin Xiu.

"You know the password. All my wealth, including the Liu family's secret treasures, is given to you."

"How can I feel comfortable with this?"

Yin Xiu put the passbook into the inner pocket of his windbreaker.

"In fact, the patent fees that companies around the world pay to Brother Xiong every year are already too much to spend."

Yin Xiu was quite distressed, "Hey, what do you think he is so capable of? It makes me tired and I have to help him spend money."

"If you don't want it, give it to me." Liu Banxian stretched out his hand.

Yin Xiu quickly dodged.

However, when talking about Caihuaxiong, Yin Xiu felt a little sad.

"I told him a long time ago not to try to build a perpetual motion machine because it couldn't be built. But he didn't listen. He hired so many devices and so many people without hesitation. The whole mountain is his research institute.

The result was good. The experiment went awry. The entire mountain within a radius of 20 miles was flattened. Not even a piece of clothing could be found. "

"Brother Xiong always plays such big games. Luckily, he was the only one blown up, and the cats and dogs were not blown up."

Liu Banxian grinned, "I read his fortune. Logically, he should have died in such an explosion, but the fortune shows that he is not dead. And yet, I can't find him. This is very strange. Could I have read it wrong?"

"Maybe he traveled through time and space to another world?" Yin Xiu said.

"Travel through time? You mean he went to another world and became invincible?"

Yin Xiu put his hands behind his head and said, "Maybe, maybe there are people who are so bored that they like to travel back and forth."

"Then let him go. I think even if Xiong Gezai goes to some other world, he won't suffer any loss with his brain."

Liu Banxian scratched his face and said, "I heard that Maoshan Sect wants to find you to be the Heavenly Master in recent years?"

"They can't find mine."

Yin Xiu smiled, "With Nangong Tianshi in front of me, how can I dare to be a Tianshi? Moreover, being a Tianshi requires seriousness and carefulness, which I can't do."

"Then who do you think will be the next Heavenly Master?"

"It's not my turn to say, and I'm not qualified to decide, but I think it's very likely that it's a descendant of the Mao family."

"Descendants of the Mao family?"

Liu Banxian asked in confusion, "Didn't Uncle Ming already return to the Dao Mountain? How can there be any descendants of the Mao family?"

Yin Xiu gave a mysterious smile, "Actually, Uncle Ming got a wife later, did you know that?"

"Well!?"

Liu Banxian was amazed, "With his bad temper, how could he get a wife?"

"He owns a building and collects rent from it! Since the Taoist tradition has been broken down, isn't it normal for a Taoist to marry? But he later returned to the countryside to retire, so it's normal that you don't know."

"Hey, this is beyond my expectation."

Liu Banxian's face was filled with an unconcealable smile.

"By the way, have you been to Hawaii?"

"Been there."

Yin Xiu smiled and said, "The beach, the beauties, the cold drinks, it's a paradise on earth."

Just by listening to Yin Xiu's description, Liu Banxian knew how satisfied he was, so he also laughed.

Yin Xiu looked at Liu Banxian and recalled the days more than forty years ago when they went through life and death together, which made him feel even more reluctant to part with this old friend.

"You said that you can no longer tell fortunes accurately, and you never tell fortunes for yourself, so is it possible that you didn't tell fortunes accurately?"

"The most important thing for a fortune teller is accuracy."

Liu Banxian stopped laughing, waved his fan, and said in a carefree manner, "I told you that today is the day when my life will end. I can't be wrong. Actually, this is all your fault, Brother Yin."

"Why do you blame me? I didn't hurt you, did I?"

"You didn't harm me, but when I led the Dragon Emperor's son to the Forbidden Palace for you, I lost several years of my life. You owe me this."

Yin Xiu smiled, "Then how do you plan to make me pay it back?"

"Next life, you can pay me back double!"

As he spoke, sleepiness already covered Liu Banxian's eyes.

"I'm very happy that you came here today, because I don't have many friends, and you are my best friend. Seeing you makes me feel at ease."

Liu Banxian's voice gradually became weaker, and in the end, only the sound of his breath remained after he finished speaking.

Yin Xiu stood up, walked behind Liu Banxian, and gently grabbed his shoulders.

"My old friend, they say that being brothers is for this life but not for the next. We are different in age, but I also feel that if there is really a next life, we can still be brothers."

He patted Liu Banxian's back gently and felt that Liu Banxian's breath was getting weaker and weaker.

Yin Xiu remained silent, thinking that Liu Banxian was slowly falling asleep.

Liu Banxian's eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't lift them up, and everything in his sight was covered with a layer of fog.

Liu Banxian spoke incoherently, as if mumbling, "Eh? What a huge white jade plate! Is that Kunlun? Is that Kunlun, Brother Yin?"

"Kunlun?"

Yin Xiu looked up and saw that the sky was clear with only fiery 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 into the street full of neon lights, Ma Xiaoyu was standing by waiting for him.

When she saw Yin Xiu, she was speechless, but walked forward and gently hugged him to comfort him.

"I am fine."

Yin Xiu patted Ma Xiaoyu's back gently, still feeling warm and soft.

Things in the past seem to have happened only yesterday.

Ma Xiaoyu whispered, "I've always been here."

"I know."

Yin Xiu patted her gently a few more times. The two of them were each other's closest support.

In the distance, Luo Wei was sitting in the cafe on the second floor waiting for them.

Because he became a Rakshasa, he seemed to be forever young, but his face was a little paler than before.

He was quietly enjoying his coffee 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 coffee, Madagascar cat feces coffee."

"What kind of coffee?"

“Cat poop coffee.”

puff!
Luo Wei sprayed the coffee in his mouth onto the glass.

It wasn't because of the coffee, but because he saw a woman bump into Yin Xiu's arms.

Yin Xiu glanced at Laura Fountain in his arms and was startled.

"Why are you here?"

Laura Fonnna's eyes were full of tears. "Cousin, I'm bankrupt again, so I can only come to you for help."

Ma Xiaoyu still had a smile on her face and asked gently, "Who is this woman?"

Yin Xiu quickly raised his hands and said with a wry smile: "Cousin." (End of this chapter)
