Yin Yang

After the people of Haogezong were arrested, the incidents of ghosts and monsters hurting people that had been erupting everywhere in City A gradually disappeared, and Yixiu and the others finally had time to breathe and rest.

It's December, the sky has been gloomy, and it seems that the first snow in City A is brewing.

In the morning, after Su Yi had breakfast, he and Yixiu went to regular training. In the warm glass greenhouse on the other side, Ji Baiqing was humming softly, holding a watering can, and carefully taking care of the densely growing plants in the greenhouse. Spirit plants.Not far from her, Du Peixue spread out a mat in an open space, doing yoga quietly.

In the entire greenhouse, there was only Ji Baiqing's ethereal and melodious humming, and the atmosphere was quiet and comfortable.Suddenly, the screen of Du Peixue's cell phone on the stone table lit up suddenly, and a call came in.It's just that the phone was muted, and neither of them noticed.

After Ji Baiqing finished spraying water on a tender pink flower that looked like a big paw, she raised her head and accidentally caught a glimpse of Du Peixue's cell phone screen going dark, only to realize that there was a call just now, and it was already due to long Time did not answer and automatically hung up.

She turned her head to look at Du Peixue who was quietly maintaining a difficult movement with her eyes closed, and after thinking about it, she still didn't disturb her.

Everyone in the secret service knows that Du Peixue is usually doing yoga at this time in the morning, and the phone will be turned to silent.So if everyone is looking for her at this time, they will generally not choose to call her.And if it was someone else, they would call back if there was something urgent, so Ji Baiqing didn't intend to disturb Du Peixue just because of a phone call.

After that, Ji Baiqing was distracted to pay attention to Du Peixue's cell phone. Her cell phone was always dark, and the person who missed the call did not call again.

When Du Peixue relaxed, stood up and slowly opened her eyes, Ji Baiqing held a small watering can and said, "Peixue, you just had a call."

Hearing this, Du Peixue put on her shoes and walked over, picked up the phone from the cold stone table, and found that it was Du Peilan calling, so she called back directly.

"Peilan, what can I do for you?"

Du Peilan's voice rang through the phone: "Peixue... We, we haven't seen each other for a while, right? The last time we met in Haogezong, we just met briefly... Are you free? Let's catch up?"

Du Peixue's eyes lightly fell on the plants that became more and more beautiful after being sprayed with water, her eyes were as calm and deep as the sea.

She said, "Okay, find a place outside."

Du Peilan: "Okay, okay... how about the restaurant last time?"

Du Peixue responded lightly, then hung up the phone, put the phone back on the cold stone table, and said to Ji Baiqing who was spraying water gently on a leaf, "Let me help you."

Ji Baiqing tilted her head to look at her, nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, the watering can is in the usual place."

Du Peixue nodded, she took out the watering can from Ji Baiqing's hut in the greenhouse, opened a large bottle of light green transparent liquid in large and small glass jars nearby, and filled the watering can.Then, she walked out of the hut with a full watering can, stood in front of the plants that Ji Baiqing hadn't watered yet, quietly and patiently tended to these strange-shaped spiritual plants together with Ji Baiqing.

After quietly spraying a plant, Du Peixue looked at the greener plants and said, "Bai Qing, tell me later, I don't have to cook for me at noon today."

Ji Baiqing turned her head to look at her, nodded, and said hesitantly, "Are you unhappy?"

Du Peixue narrowed her gaze slightly, and said in a low voice, "I can already guess what she's going to say to me."

Ji Baiqing turned around and looked at her quietly, her eyes under the slender eyelashes were clear and clean, and said softly: "But she is your sister."

Du Peixue said as if sighing: "Yes, she is my twin sister, so I have to go..."

Ji Baiqing tilted her head slightly and smiled, then turned around and continued to quietly tend to her flowers and plants.

On the other hand, after training profusely with sweat, Yixiu quickly pushed the sweaty Su Yi into the bathroom, telling him to take a shower quickly to prevent him from catching a cold.

Steaming hot water dripped from the shower, washing away the sticky sweat on the body.Su Yi stood under the nozzle, looked down at the white jade gossip on his chest in the water rushing down from the top of his head, picked it up and looked at it carefully.

Yixiu once said that the white jade gossip also came from the secret realm of the South China Sea, so it came from the ancient Haoge sect.

Could it be that someone had predicted today's situation, so he made such a magic weapon to suppress the power of the ghost eye?

Su Yi reached out to turn off the shower, put the white jade gossip back on his chest, and pressed it gently on the moist fair skin.

He quickly finished drying his hair, and walked out with a head of fluffy hair blown by the blower, just in time to see Yixiu wiping his sweat, raised his head and said to the top of the training room: "What? Are they finished yet?"

Su Yi looked up, just in time to see Yu Hanyin standing above the training room frowning, and hung up the ringing cell phone.

Yu Hanyin sneered, threw the phone on the console, and said sarcastically: "It's too late to repair the family relationship now, don't you think? I feel awkward listening to their voices that pretend to be gentle and nostalgic. Old Antique still wants to contact me, a demon who is neither male nor female."

As soon as he heard it, Su Yi understood.During this period of time, Yu Hanyin's family seemed to be in constant contact with him, with a kind of indomitable posture, which made Yu Hanyin very disturbed.

"I haven't contacted you for so many years, now you're doing this to me? Think I'm the stunned young man back then, and foolishly try to get them to accept me." Yu Hanyin crossed his arms and said coldly.

Ping Haoyan, who was sitting in front of the console and debugging the data, raised his head, frowned and said, "Brother is not a monster who is neither male nor female."

Yu Hanyin snorted Ping Haoyan's head, and said to Yixiu: "Okay, I'm here to tell you that we have basically captured all the members of the Haoge Sect who are wandering outside. The secret room has been remodeled before. A toilet and strong locks have been installed, and now they are all locked in a secret room. Ni Yuansi is calm, and has not responded at all for so many days, is he planning to give up on them?"

Yixiu sneered and said, "In his eyes, are members of the Haoge Sect important?"

Yu Hanyin shrugged, "Indeed."

Su Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "In the eyes of Ni Yuansi, who has awakened Ni Hongyun's memory, I'm afraid it's the complicated feelings of hating and loathing Haogezong, but not being able to personally send Haogezong to his end."

Yixiu raised his eyebrows: "But isn't he sending Haoge Sect to its end now? Reviving ghosts and gods, Haoge Sect still wants to gain a foothold in Taoism in the future?"

Su Yi blinked, and said in a low voice: "But in Ni Yuansi's eyes, he certainly doesn't think that the resurrection of ghosts and gods will destroy the Haoge Sect... He may think that the resurrection of ghosts and gods will surely bring glory to the Haoge Sect. He probably still thinks It’s because Haogezong is cheap, who is...he is the holy son of Haogezong.”

Yu Hanyin narrowed his eyes: "Then he climbed to the top as the lover and spokesperson of ghosts and gods... I thought he was an infatuated, but he was also an ambitious man."

Yixiu shrugged: "Who knows, the two are not in conflict."

After finishing speaking, Yixiu vigorously rubbed Su Yi's fluffy and soft head, which was easy to touch at first glance, before going in to take a bath.

After Su Yi smoothed out his messy hair, Yu Hanyin smiled and said, "Xiao Yi, come up first, it's almost time for lunch."

Su Yi nodded, and walked slowly up the stairs to the top of the training room.

The sound of the mobile phone vibrating suddenly came from the console. Ping Haoyan, who was immersed in debugging the data, looked up and picked up the mobile phone to answer it.

After listening, he turned to Su Yi and Yu Hanyin and said, "Auntie said that Sister Du is not in the building for lunch today, so she asked us what we would like to eat."

Yu Hanyin: "Whatever."

Su Yi didn't speak, and he didn't care what to eat.

Ping Haoyan then said to the aunt on the other end of the phone: "Then bring me sweet and sour pork ribs and braised pork, remember to add more sugar."

After he hung up the phone, Yu Hanyin said slowly, "Pei Xue actually went out in such a cold day, her sister must have come to look for her."

Ping Haoyan: "The Yu family has come to harass you, will Sister Du's twin sister come?"

Su Yi came up and said slowly: "Isn't she engaged to Xu Lezhan? Maybe it's because of her involuntary actions."

Yu Hanyin leaned against the wall and said, "Du Peilan is not like her sister, she is just a flower growing in a greenhouse, so it's natural that she can't help herself. Let auntie cook Peixue's lunch , in case they break up unhappy, at least there will be something to eat when they come back."

While talking, Yixiu came out of the shower quickly, and they stopped talking about Du Peilan, and went to the small hall downstairs to prepare dinner.

In the familiar western restaurant, the transparent glass keeps the cold wind out, and the western restaurant is warm and harmonious.The soft sound of classical music was flowing slowly, and Du Peixue and Du Peilan were sitting opposite each other by the window, but they were speechless.

Du Peilan lowered her head to cover up and sipped her coffee, looking a little embarrassed and at a loss.She always felt that in Du Peixue's calm and deep gaze, her intentions and thoughts seemed to be seen clearly.

"Pei Xue, you...how have you been recently?"

Du Peixue said calmly: "It's not bad, now all the ghosts in City A have been cleaned up, so it's a lot easier."

When Du Peixue said this, Du Peilan suddenly became embarrassed.

It is impossible to say that other people in the Taoist sect did not suspect this ghost attack and wounding incident that suddenly swept across the country, and they basically guessed that it was the Ziwei Sect and the Haoge Sect who did it secretly.Everyone actually despises their behavior, and thinks they are crazy about power.

Did the people in the secret service know about this?Du Peilan felt that they must know, Ziweizong and Xu Lezhan also knew about it, but they still let her come.

Under Du Peixue's calm eyes, Du Peilan felt that she was going to be overwhelmed and ashamed, and wanted to pull up the tablecloth to cover her face so that she would stop looking at her.

But thinking of the parents who raised her tightly holding her hand last night, they told her repeatedly that the Du family had tied up with the Xu family and Haogezong, and they had to do their best to help the Xu family, whether they would succeed To become the top family power in Taoism is all about this, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent.

She is the daughter of the Du family, and she has to bear some things.

Du Peilan was silent for a moment, took a breath slowly, and finally said: "Pei Xue, I heard from Le Zhan that the secret service department seems to have misunderstood them, so they are unwilling to accept them... Everyone is now a member of the same department. Can you tell me what's wrong?"

Du Peixue lowered her eyes, picked up the silver spoon to gently stir her coffee, and said calmly: "What is the problem, don't they know it themselves? Do you need to ask me?"

At the beginning, everything seemed less difficult to talk about.Du Peilan said in a low voice: "I know they may have done some drastic actions, but now the building on the outskirts of the city is in an embarrassing situation, and they want to make amends... Peixue, can you help Le Zhan and the others mediate with Captain Yi ? As long as you get out of the embarrassing situation now..."

Du Peixue paused while stirring the coffee, then slowly raised her head to look at her: "You want me to intercede?"

Du Peilan said repeatedly: "That's right, as long as Captain Yi is willing to forgive them, they can do anything to make up for their mistakes!"

Du Peixue looked at Du Peilan quietly, the silver spoon in her hand was loosened, and the handle of the spoon hit the wall of the cup with a "ding".

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she sighed and said, "Make up for your mistakes? How can you make up for it when people are dead? Life is the most precious and splendid thing. What compensation do they have?"

Du Peilan's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. She looked down at the tablecloth stiffly, and murmured after a while: "I...I can't repay...this is the sin we should bear...Le Zhan he Say, they won't do this again..."

Du Peixue shook her head: "It's not your fault."

Du Peilan smiled palely, and said: "When I told you what I just said, I couldn't get rid of it. I was also an accomplice, and I was already planning to bear my share of the crime. But Peixue, I It doesn't matter, I want to beg you, help them. This is also the wish of parents, we are a family, aren't we?"

The smile on the corner of Du Peixue's mouth paused, then fell slowly, and said softly, "Are we a family?"

Du Peilan looked at her expectantly: "That's right! Is there anyone closer than us? Mom and Dad have always missed you and have been waiting for you to come back. Our family has not been reunited for a long time. I always miss the old days…”

Du Peixue suddenly interrupted Du Peilan: "If they really miss me, they won't even have time for a phone call these years?"

Du Peilan's face turned pale: "Pei Xue, are you blaming your parents?"

Du Peixue said calmly: "Peilan, after all these years, you are still so naive. What am I to blame? They are just afraid of me, it's human nature."

Du Peilan opened her eyes wide in a daze, and saw Du Peixue looking straight at her, the corner of her mouth curled up in a strange arc, as if she had turned into another very strange person.

Du Peixue said softly: "The good times in your memory, to me, are no less than the pain of suffering in hell. Do you remember what happened when you were 12 years old?"

Du Peilan choked, while Du Peixue seemed to recall some good memories, narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I still clearly remember the sweet taste when the sharp scissors pierced into the flesh. At that time, I found myself the other side of the

The corners of Du Peixue's mouth were still hooked, and she continued on Du Peilan's pale face: "But your reaction at that time reminded me how unbearable this is. I am in great pain every day, and I am suppressing it every moment. The purest desire that surges from the bottom of my heart. I dare not eat meat, and when I eat meat, I want to spit out the contents of my stomach, because any meat will bring back those happy memories in my heart. I live in temples, Taoist temples and churches, but the Buddhist verses in the Bible are bullshit, there is no place and no one can save me, I can only struggle alone in the dark."

As she spoke, she smiled softly: "But the captain redeemed me. It was they who helped me transfer this bloodthirsty desire to ghosts, giving it a channel to vent. That was the first time I discovered my own Existence is valuable, not just a ghost crawling out of the mud, let me find the meaning of my life again. Now, why do you think my parents are so afraid of me? Why do you think I will help you?"

Du Peilan's lips trembled twice, her face was pale and dazed, and she couldn't speak a word.

"Pei Lan, after all these years, you still haven't..."

Du Peixue paused for a moment and didn't say any more.She just smiled, picked up the bag that was put aside, stood up and said, "It's impossible for me to help you, let's not eat this lunch."

After speaking, she walked out of the western restaurant and went back to the secret service.

Du Peilan sat there blankly, and for a long while, hot tears flowed from her trembling eyes.

When Du Peixue got off the taxi and returned to the secret service building, they had just had dinner.

Su Yi looked at Du Peixue who came back with some surprise. She must have not eaten when she came back at this time, and she did not expect that Yu Hanyin really hit the mark.

When Jiang Xiuxian saw Du Peixue walking in with a chill, he immediately turned around and leaned on the back of the chair, and shouted with a smile: "Miss Du, have you eaten yet? Auntie cooked your meal. It's so cold outside, so come and have another bite if you eat."

Mao Qianxuan also smiled and said, "Yes, don't waste it."

Ji Baiqing had already got up and ran to get the bowls and chopsticks, and everyone asked her to sit down and eat.

Du Peixue glanced at the vegetarian dishes placed in front of the only empty seat on the round table, and lowered her head slowly showing a shallow smile.

She smiled and said, "I haven't eaten yet, I thought I would be hungry when I came back."

Ji Baiqing handed her the bowl and chopsticks, and smiled with eyes crooked: "Then eat while it's hot."

After that, I don't know how Du Peilan went back to work, but Ziweizong and Xu Lezhan stopped hopping around the secret service department. Haogezong remained silent as usual, while Yixiu and the others were on guard. , while stepping up the production of various weapons and equipment.Ping Haoyan seemed to have a new idea for weapon research, and he began to spend all day in the research room again.

Feng Qingwei never appeared again, and Su Yi would occasionally think of her in the gaps between rushing to make the magic weapon day and night and being with Yi Xiuwo.

Su Yi wore a thin sweater, and sat in the warm dining room during the break time. Looking from the warm room to the pure white snow covered outside the floor-to-ceiling glass wall, he depicted a piece of land through the transparent glass. A black and white landscape covered in snow.

After finishing the painting, Su Yi put down his pencil and looked at the heavy snow falling from the sky.Small pieces of snow outside the window fell from the gray sky, like snow-white pear petals fluttering in the cold wind, falling into the snowdrifts and disappearing.

Su Yi looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and suddenly thought of Feng Qingwei.

Where did Feng Qingwei go?Do you sleep like a hibernating animal, or do you quietly watch the snow falling in front of you somewhere?

Will she think of the pear blossom tree like a snow cloud in the ghost cave?

Su Yi was in a daze for a moment, got up, packed his things, and went back to his room.

The days passed by in the blink of an eye, and it was so dark and turbulent, but almost two months passed without notice. With a heavy snowfall in City A, the Spring Festival in Huaguo came.

No matter how ups and downs the past year has been, the year still has to be passed.

The streets and alleys of city A became lively, completely dispelling the dark clouds brought about by the ghost attack, everyone with a smile on their faces, rushing back to their hometown and buying new year's goods.

In the secret service building, the aunt had already returned home from the holiday, and even all the people in the new building had gone back to celebrate the new year, and the secret service department was immediately cleaned up.

On New Year's Eve, everyone gathers in the dining room to make dumplings.

Having crushed several dumpling wrappers, Yixiu, who was unanimously kicked out of the dumpling-making line, sat on a chair, took out red envelopes from his pocket, and threw them into their arms one by one: "New year, good luck."

Jiang Xiuxian and Ji Baiqing were rolling out the dumpling wrappers with a rolling pin. His hands were full of flour, and he twisted a few times to prevent the red envelope from falling to the ground. Then he carefully picked up the corner of the red envelope and stuffed it into his pocket with great joy.

Yu Hanyin was putting meat stuffing into the dumpling wrapper in his hand, and complained, "Didn't you see that you're busy? How can you hold it?" After finishing speaking, he simply let the red envelope lie on his lap and left it alone.

Su Yi sat beside Yixiu, lowering his head and quietly making dumplings.He didn't pack fast. Mao Qianxuan, Yu Hanyin, and Du Peixue next to him wrapped a lot of them in a hurry, and they each neatly stacked a plate. He only put half of the plate, but each one was like The same standard as measured with a ruler.

Ping Haoyan's fingers were typing on the keyboard, and he was extremely dexterous and fast when he was fiddling with the parts, but making dumplings was much more clumsy, frowning and slowly filling the plate in front of him.And You Mingcheng frowned, feeling extremely cold all over his body, bitterly pinching the strange-looking dumpling skin and meat filling in his hands, constantly testing the edge of crushing.

Mao Qianxuan looked up and saw You Mingcheng fiddling with the dumpling wrapper, she couldn't help laughing, sat next to him and patiently taught him the wrapping method that he had taught many times before, and finally let him make the first dumpling wrapper. A barely formed dumpling.

Jiang Xiuxian quickly rolled out round dumpling wrappers and asked, "How many wraps do we want?"

Yu Hanyin said without raising her head, "Don't forget the group of people still in the secret room. It's Chinese New Year, so at least give two mouthfuls of dumplings."

Jiang Xiuxian couldn't help but let out a groan, and shouted: "No way, we have raised those people for more than two months, and we still need to continue to raise them? It's still very troublesome to eat, drink, and eat, even with the help of auntie."

Yixiu lazily said, "Ni Yuansi doesn't want them anymore, so let's throw them to the northwest to dig the stardust mine after the Chinese New Year."
