Mystery

When Wu Xie woke up, it was already noon.

Despite the gorgeous decoration, his room was surprisingly cold.Zhang Qiling was lying on the table and fell asleep, which was rare in Wu Xie's view, only the time when he lost too much blood.

Wu Xie felt sore all over, reluctantly trying not to disturb others by making a big noise.He quietly sat beside Zhang Qiling, lying on the table like him, watching him quietly.The light outside is like the long-lost sunlight coming in through a layer of purple veil, as if half of them are exposed to light and half are hidden in darkness.It was the first time Wu Xie saw Zhang Qiling's soft expression, the first time he fell into the tranquility of a dream, the first time he was so defenseless.

Wu Xie tugged at his clothes unnaturally.To be honest, he was really not used to wearing the luxurious long clothes that dragged the floor.Zhang Qiling opened his eyes silently, seeing Wu Xie's funny actions alone, he wanted to laugh unconsciously.

"Hey! You... how long have you been awake?" Wu Xie sat down quickly, like a child who made a mistake, his cheeks secretly turned red before he knew it.

"..." Zhang Qiling didn't know what to do.As the "patriarch", he had to come and asked Wu Xie some insignificant things in the most polite way.Wu Xie answered as if he was drowsy, but in fact he was very angry.

"Fuck, can you stop talking to me like this?!" He couldn't hold back, and he didn't know if he regretted it after saying it.

Zhang Qiling still seemed unshakable, and walked away silently.

Wu Xie picked up the cup on the table by himself, drank the new tea specially delivered by himself, and lay on the table by himself as if drunk.

I'm obviously not familiar with you, but why do I care so much?

There is a big party in the evening.

Even though everyone doesn't seem all that excited, it's still being called a "fest of the wild."

The discipline in the building is relatively stricter, the hierarchy is very clear, and the work specifications are strictly controlled, which may be related to their not so rich supplies.It was the first time for Wu Xie to sit in the position of a high-ranking person, looking down at many people, and this feeling made him swell and panic.Zhang Qiling sat on the seat next to him. Although he had the impression that he had never participated in this kind of party and didn't like it, his body's memory told him how to do it step by step.

"Patriarch, what is inside the bronze gate?" While drinking, a childish voice sounded like thunder in the hall, making everyone tremble.The child's father hurriedly dragged the child to his side. His expression of hatred and fear coupled with the dead silence around him told Wu Xie how taboo this question was.He thought that everyone in the Zhang family knew this secret, but it didn't seem to be the case at all.

The children were father and elder brother—the young man in Tsing Yi, who was so devoted to Zhang Qiling, hurriedly came out and knelt down to plead guilty.Zhang Qiling took a look at Wu Xie and told him that it's up to you to decide.Wu Xie broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that you, Zhang Qiling, have sold me out now.

"Small things... small things...don't worry..." Wu Xie tried to make himself appear more approachable, but it had other effects.The people below felt that the King of Dongxia was so strange, and they started talking about it for a while.Wu Xie couldn't stand it by himself, and finally had to rely on Zhang Qiling.This banquet is really dangerous and dangerous. Wu Xie, who has not yet understood the situation, dare not immediately deny that he is the new King of Dongxia, and this morning he just fell out with Zhang Qiling...

What about the end of the world? !

But it's really the ultimate.

And after calming down, the creepier thing is the question,

What's inside the bronze door?

But isn't it just inside the bronze door now?

Could it be...they thought they were outside the door?

Late at night, tossing and turning.

Wu Xie gradually stabilized his mood, conceiving in his mind what he should do next.

"Knock, knock—" A few vague knocks on the door revived Wu Xie, and the visitor didn't wait for his answer, and opened the door directly to enter.

It's Zhang Qiling.

Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, but then lay down on the bed facing the big window in a fit of anger: "Hey, I'm asleep—"

Only a few main streets outside are still lit. Through the special gauze curtain, the golden light is like moonlight, which makes people miss the outside world.

Zhang Qiling didn't bother him, and sat at the table again, just like this morning.

There was no movement for a long while, Wu Xie couldn't hold back anymore, and slowly turned around to look over, and asked, "Uh... what's the matter with that...?"

Zhang Qiling shook his head, took out a little incense from the small cabinet beside him and lit it: "You can sleep peacefully."

Wu Xie froze for a moment before he understood what he meant. He didn't expect him to worry about whether he slept well.Wu Xie was even more embarrassed, and joked: "Oh, the patriarch is really considerate in hospitality."

After hearing this, Zhang Qiling walked towards the door without turning his head. "Hey," Wu Xie said anxiously, "It's really not humorous."

He didn't know if it was his auditory hallucination, there seemed to be a sneaky chuckle in the stagnant air.In fact, it's not that Wu Xie hasn't seen him laugh before, but those seem too far-fetched.

"Brother, we're here...it doesn't mean anything to us...I don't have those exaggerated identities..." Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling who came back again, "I'm just doing my best to be forced... …fight for a satisfactory result.”

"Me too."

After getting these three words, I don't know how much time passed under the soft light.

Followed by, there is a very light, very light kiss.

It landed on Wu Xie's forehead, as if it was an apology for dissatisfying him before, or just an excuse to say good night.

But everything is lingered in this time of rest, spying, recording, and dreaming.

Wu Xie was really stunned.

Obviously it was only a moment, but it felt extremely long.

Moreover, why do I...don't want to avoid...?

Even Zhang Qiling didn't want to understand this point.

Why do you want to get close?

The curtain that floated when he left enveloped the moonlight that accidentally broke in, just like the feelings that were seeping into Wu Xie's heart little by little.

Zhang Qiling has never felt this way.But he thought of a woman again, and unconsciously wanted to visit her.

The feeling for her that is different from Wu Xie may not be understood until a long time later.

"Hey, tell me where Zhang Qiling went?" During the day, Wu Xie met the young man in Tsing Yi, but did not see Zhang Qiling.Tsing Yi looked at him indifferently, shook his head, and walked directly past Wu Xie.

"Hey, boy, you are much younger than me, do you understand respecting elders?!" Wu Xie was a little broken in his heart, but he didn't expect that all the Zhang family members had a virtue in their potential.

Tsing Yi also gave face, turned around and asked: "What can you do with him?"

"...There must be..." Wu Xie thought for a long time but couldn't think of any good reason.The boy sighed and said, "If you need to find him in the future, you can find me first."

Of course Wu Xie didn't dare to talk about what happened last night, so he had to continue looking for someone by himself.It was a coincidence that he just walked forward for a certain distance, and vaguely saw Zhang Qiling's figure.

Through the crack of the door, Wu Xie saw Zhang Qiling listening to a girl who was about the same age as Tsing Yi.The strong smell of medicine came to the nostrils, and Wu Xie couldn't help coughing a few times.Zhang Qiling let him in after hearing it.Wu Xie was a little embarrassed. Seeing that the girl should be very lively, she simply pretended to be very familiar to warm up the scene.

"Hey, let me tell you, that little follower of yours has a very bad attitude today..." Wu Xie pretended to be aggrieved, but the girl looked at him and Zhang Qiling in surprise.

"He's crazy." The girl whispered.Zhang Qiling signaled her not to talk nonsense.Wu Xie was stunned, full of doubts: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Qiling let the girl out.Wu Xie's heart began to beat drums, not knowing what he said wrong.

"Really?" Zhang Qiling asked.Wu Xie pretended to be a little angry: "Of course! So you still favor him so much..."

"There shouldn't be anyone here who treats you like this," Zhang Qiling said lightly, "If there is, you just need to tell me."

"Ah... I forgot..." Wu Xie lay on the table with a helpless expression. "But what are you doing here?"

"..." Zhang Qiling didn't say anything.But Wu Xie feels that he will know soon, this intuition is sometimes very accurate.

"I say you……"

"do not move."

Just as Wu Xie was about to say something, Zhang Qiling interrupted him.He seemed to be sitting there stupidly, Zhang Qiling stretched out his hand to help him tidy up his messy collar, his movements were unprecedentedly gentle, Wu Xie's face turned red all of a sudden.He wanted to open Zhang Qiling's hand, but he happened to be held by the other party.

Time seemed to stop again.

But Wu Xie soon sensed something was wrong.

"What's the matter with you?" Wu Xie turned around and grabbed Zhang Qiling's hand vigorously, but he didn't expect to hold Zhang Qiling's hand all of a sudden.

nothingness.

Is the person in front of me an illusion?

"I didn't enter the Bronze Gate," Zhang Qiling explained, "This should be my consciousness."

"Time is about to speed up," he continued to say to Wu Xie, "You should be prepared."

"Time speeds up?" This statement made Wu Xie a little dazed.How can time be speeded up?

"Maybe you open your eyes again, it will be a long time later."

These words sound a little scary.

Wu Xie really wanted to make a hypocritical joke, but he felt that he couldn't say anything.After a while, he still smiled bitterly and said to Zhang Qiling, "Thank you."

Thank you for your grace of not killing.

Thank you for your help and patience along the way.

Thank you for your unspoken concern.

Thank you for all you give me...

Zhang Qiling didn't expect Wu Xie to say thank you, he thought Wu Xie would insist that he give him a reason or a reason.

"My own affairs can be resolved by myself," Wu Xie poured Zhang Qiling a cup of hot tea, "This seems like your style."

Wu Xie lowered her head and pressed close to Zhang Qiling's lips, like a gift that wanted to do everything in return.

Everything is repeated over and over again in the mind.

"I really care about you."

"I really love you too."

That very night, his tiredness came suddenly.

He had a premonition that this was the moment Zhang Qiling was talking about.

Alas, will it be a long time before I can see him?

However, why do I only think of him...

Why……

The outside should be filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers, even here a few lost butterflies flew in.

The sun is beautiful and the wind is peaceful, how much she wants to go out and have a look, how much she wants to go back to the magnificent snow top she once had.

She should have died a long time ago, but she always felt that her consciousness stayed there for a long time.When she really realized that she was still alive, she had already slept in her hometown—Tibet for an unknown amount of time.

"They treat me like this, they are also soft-hearted..."

"Is my child Zhang Qiling too..."

That woman is Baima.

He never knew that the flesh and blood that he was thinking of had actually met her countless times in the changes of time and space.

Next time, she might have to wait a long time again.

Wu Xie broke out in a cold sweat.

When he woke up, the clothes on his body had changed, and they were still exquisite and complicated, but not as luxurious as before.

It is estimated that he woke up when the decline of the Zhang family began to be revealed.

"What are you looking at?" A childish voice sounded from outside.

no answer.

Wu Xie opened the window curiously, and saw two children looking up at the thick fog that seemed to be the sky.Someone on the side reminded one of the children not to speak loudly, with a very cautious expression.

"I heard that the patriarch has never killed anyone, nor has he ever scolded anyone." The child's voice was still loud, and his expression looked fearless.

The current patriarch should still be Zhang Qiling, Wu Xie thought so.It is naturally impossible to say that Zhang Qiling has never killed anyone in his own memory.And when he survives in this world, that's not necessarily the case. He knows how to respect life even more after he was born and died.

Wu Xie's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening, and it was a servant who hadn't spoken much a long time ago.Unexpectedly, she smiled at Wu Xie and said, "Sure enough, you will only change the clothes sent by the patriarch."

Wu Xie stared blankly at her, then at herself.The servant chatted with him a lot about what happened yesterday, but Wu Xie didn't remember it at all.And, when did their care get so good? !

"What are you looking at?" She went to the window and looked out.But her face suddenly became gloomy, and her voice became gloomy: "Why is this child here again?"

She was talking about the silent child.

"Didn't he say that he is a fraud?" She said more and more excitedly, "It caused us to waste so much time and energy!"

She turned her head and saw Wu Xie, and realized that she had been rude, so she hurriedly apologized.Wu Xie didn't know what to blame, so she told her to do her own thing quickly.

Wu Xie jumped out of bed immediately, and found that her legs were not used to the feeling of moving.He stumbled and ran out, trying to find the current Zhang Qiling.

The fire outside had dimmed, and the lantern looked a bit worn out.

How long has it been?

What the hell is going to happen next?
