Xu Tianyin was caught off guard in the crowded airport hall, but no one noticed. He made a secret in his palm, and like a magic weapon, it stuck to the ground of the airport hall and stabbed directly at Adam!
This move was so lightning-fast, but extremely secretive that even Liu Xianxian, who was standing opposite, didn't notice anything unusual. Adam suddenly stepped back with Hu Jiayi, who was holding his arm!
He had someone beside him, but his retreat was very clever. Ordinary people couldn't see Adam's movements at that moment, but Xia Shao saw that he was on tiptoe, almost wiping out against the smooth floor of the airport hall. However, even with such a retreating movement, this man could still do it in an elegant manner, with his white trench coat spread out gracefully, his blond hair flowing, and a woman by his side. The picture was extremely beautiful.
People coming and going in the airport looked at Adam with startled and strange eyes. Naturally, no one thought about the attack he had just received, and no one understood why he was retreating so calmly. After Adam stood still, he looked at the people walking around, nodded and smiled, and suddenly the strange and suspicious looks around him turned into surprise.
Hu Jiayi's expression was stiff under the astonishing gaze. Her face even contained the excited smile she had when she introduced Adam just now. At this moment, the smile seemed to be frozen, and her cheeks turned from red to white. Although she had only been studying in the UK for half a year, her exposure to the occult had already transformed her into a completely different person, and she was no longer the passionate self-taught girl she was before. She has received orthodox studies, and now she can sense something unusual.
At that moment, she didn't see clearly who made the move, but the direction came from Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin!
Hu Jiayi's face turned pale, and she stood beside Adam in a daze, looking at Xia Shao from afar, with a puzzled look on her face, "... Xiao Shao? What is going on?"
"Yeah, what happened?" Liu Xianxian's expression was the most incomprehensible. In her eyes, everything was fine just now, and then Adam suddenly took Hu Jiayi and retreated far away.
what happened
"It's okay." Unexpectedly, before Xia Shao spoke, Adam lowered his head and looked at Hu Jiayi. From the moment he was attacked by Xu Tianyin to the moment he retreated, he kept an impeccable and elegant smile on his face, "I think maybe Miss Xia and General Xu misunderstood me."
Adam spoke English to Hu Jiayi, and his voice was as elegant as his temperament, with an intoxicating melody.
Xia Shao sneered and spoke in English, "No, we have no misunderstanding about Mr. Adam, we just have a grudge against the name Satan."
"... Have a grudge?" Hu Jiayi was a little confused after hearing this. She looked at Adam and then at Xia Shao, "Xiao Shao, have you met him before?"
Xia Shao sighed after hearing this. When she was in Qingshi No. 1 Middle School, her friends only knew that she was a Feng Shui master, but they didn't know about her sect or the grudges between Xuanmen and the British Obi-Kris family. When she heard that Hu Jiayi would bring friends home for the New Year a few years ago, Xia Shao guessed that this person would most likely be a wizard. She also thought that maybe it could be someone from the Obikris family, but she never thought it could be a dark witch.
The practice of a wizard is different from that of a Feng Shui master, both are very mysterious. Hu Jiayi has just been to England for half a year, and her study time is still short. It is not clear from her whether she is learning white witchcraft or black witchcraft. Could it be that he really is a black witch
"Did you have any misunderstandings before?" Hu Jiayi looked up at Adam when Xia Shao didn't answer.
Adam smiled and said, "I think there is." After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin, "Miss Xia and General Xu, would you mind finding a place to have a cup of tea?"
…
The place to drink tea was at a famous teahouse in the center of Qingshi. British people also like to drink tea, but most of them like to drink black tea. When they arrived at the teahouse, Hu Jiayi remembered that Xia Shao liked to drink Biluochun, so she called the waiter and ordered a pot of Biluochun. When she wanted to order another cup of black tea, Adam smiled and said: "Yi, you don't know how to entertain guests." There is a Chinese saying As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.”
These words were obviously meant as criticism, but he had the ability to make people unable to hear the criticism, and instead indulged in his elegant tone.
The waiters looked at Adam a second time, but Xia Shao was more shocked. Although she hasn't appeared in Qingshi for two years, she is still a household name in Qingshi. When TV and newspapers were all over the sky, who didn't know her
Seeing these people coming with Xia Shao, the waiter thought they were Xia Shao's friends, and his attitude was extremely respectful. When the tea came, it was the manager of the teahouse who brought it to him in person. He smiled and said, "I didn't know that Mr. Xia was here, so I was neglecting him, haha. This pot of Biluochun and several plates of snacks are just a little thought from our teahouse. It's not a sign of respect. I still hope that Mr. Xia will come." Have fun with your friends.”
Xia Shao smiled and nodded. The manager poured a cup of tea for everyone present, then rubbed his hands with a smile and left.
Adam picked up the tea and tasted it in an elegant manner. He was a master at first glance, "No wonder Chinese people like to drink green tea. It does have a different aroma."
He said this in Chinese, and his pronunciation was smooth and authentic.
Xia Shao looked at him indifferently and said to him in English: "Mr. Adam, you should know that if my friend hadn't been here today, there would have been no chance for us to sit together like this."
In the tea room, Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin sat together, opposite Adam and Hu Jiayi, and Liu Xianxian sat on the other side of the table, looking a little redundant and a little irritable. She didn't understand English very well, but she also saw that when the two parties met today, it was not like she had thought before, where everyone would get into a frenzy as soon as they met. Instead, the atmosphere was a bit cold and murderous. Especially Xu Tianyin, who already had a cold face. The coldness in his eyes now made Liu Xianxian couldn't help but shudder when she saw it. It reminded her of those emotionless eyes in the Yunhai disco that regarded human life as nothing.
At this moment, facing such a look, Adam was smiling at Xia Shao from beginning to end, without looking at Xu Tianyin. I don't know if I had the ability to completely ignore him, but because of the pressure, I deliberately avoided looking at him.
Originally, two handsome men with different temperaments and different nationalities sitting together would have been an eye-catching sight, but now it only makes people feel chills on their backs and hairs standing on end.
Liu Xianxian glanced at this and that, rarely keeping her mouth shut and not interrupting. Hu Jiayi also looked at this and that, with a tangled and anxious expression. During the six months she has been in the UK, she has already learned Xia Shao's identity. She is actually the direct disciple of Mr. Tang, the master of metaphysics in the Chinese world! Xuanmen's status in the Chinese world is like the status of the Obikris family in Europe. She had seen the power of this ancient family in England, and it was hard to imagine what kind of connections Xuanmen had. Xiaoshao is a direct descendant of Xuanmen, just like Adam and his cousin Abel are in the Obikris family. Such a position is very respected and noble. She originally thought that when the two of them met, they might have a discussion between masters, or they might feel sympathy for each other, but she never expected that they would almost start a fight.
What exactly is going on
"I think Miss Xia may have some misunderstandings about me. At that time, I was only twelve years old and did not join that siege." Adam also switched to speaking in English, put down his tea cup and smiled.
"But your father, Old Satan, is. He was the leader of your dark wizards during that siege." Xia Shao's eyes turned cold.
The Obikris family is different from Xuanmen. Xuanmen recruits disciples to accept inheritance, but the Obikris family does pass on to future generations. This is an ancient magic family, with a legend that has a history of thousands of years. Read the full text of the Wild-faced Beast Tamer. In this family, two lines have been passed down for thousands of years, one line of white witches and one line of black witches. They are usually brothers or cousins. The white witch lineage controls the sect, while the black witches keep a low profile most of the time because they are feared.
Back then, Old Satan led the dark wizard, Yu Jiuzhi, Tongmi and others to surround and kill Tang Zongbo. Tang Zongbo had never been able to figure this out. Tang Zongbo understood Yu Jiuzhi's motives. Tongmi was a Thai master of treason. He was an evil and sycophantic man and was very famous in the world. Tang Zongbo has never understood the motive behind the mysterious and low-key Black Witch lineage.
But the facts are facts. No matter what the reason was, Old Satan did come to China and killed Tang Zongbo.
So when Xu Tianyin heard Adam's name at the airport today, he did not hesitate to kill him. Not only because his name is given the name of Satan, but also because he is the future leader of the dark wizard lineage.
Although there were only two sentences in the conversation between Xia Shao and Adam, Hu Jiayi's face was already pale - what kind of siege
"I thought it was an ancient tradition in China that the father debts the son, but not many people follow it now." Adam laughed.
"This has nothing to do with the debt between father and son. Your father once led your line of dark wizards to kill my master. My master's legs were damaged by your hands, and he was forced to stay away from the master and hide in the mountains for more than ten years. The sect was almost evaded and could not return in this life. Xuanmen remembers this debt very clearly, and it does not count if there is no reason. But Xuanmen will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, we only want the lives of those who did it back then." Xia Shao looked at Adam, The gaze is deep and the meaning is obvious. Adam was not involved in what happened back then, but it was his father's doing. Could it be that Xuanmen wanted to kill his father and fellow disciples when they took revenge, and he didn't care
Adam smiled, "Mr. Tang didn't die back then. Isn't it unfair that Miss Xia asked for the life of someone back then?"
"Fair?" Xia Shao also laughed, "Mr. Adam's words are really interesting. I can give you fairness. Find those people from back then, and let the Xuanmen disciples attack them. If they can escape, they will be lucky! This is Let this matter be forgotten. Do you think this is fair?"
Can you escape? There's no way to escape! More than 30 Taitou masters from Thailand came to Beijing, but none of them were left behind on this land by the Xuanmen disciples. Although this matter was handled properly afterwards and the police did not know about it, they did not believe that the Obikris family had no source of information.
Adam looked at Xia Shao, and until now, he could see the depth in the blue eyes of this man who had always smiled gracefully. Then, he said: "Miss Xia, that's my father."
Xia Shao sneered, as expected, "So, we can only be enemies."
Hu Jiayi's face on the other side was as white as paper. Although no one specifically explained it to her in these intermittent words, she could already hear the general grudges.
how could this be? Adam's tribe actually had a grudge against Xiao Shao
At this moment, Hu Jiayi's eyes had long lost the excitement of meeting friends, and were replaced by confusion. Her eyes were full of shock and urgency, and she looked like she was about to cry.
Adam sighed at this time, "Miss Xia, all you know is that my father and clan members surrounded and killed Mr. Tang back then. Do you know anything else?"
"Mr. Adam seems to want to tell me a touching story." Xia Shao was unmoved, and her words were a bit sarcastic.
After hearing this, Adam chuckled and looked at Xia Shao with a smile, his melancholy eyes were very charming, "Miss Xia, I have heard of many of your deeds. Although there was enmity between our previous generations, I When I saw Miss Xia today, I still want to say that I admire Miss Xia’s temperament.”
"It's an honor." Xia Shao's eyes were cold, "It's just a pity that I still can't tell what Mr. Adam's temperament is. So, I can't talk about appreciation."
Adam chuckled again, obviously not caring, "What I want to tell Miss Xia is not a touching story, but the history and secrets of the Obikris family. I know that in the mysterious ancient Eastern country, there are also some things in Feng Shui. There is a difference between good and evil. We wizards also have justice and evil in the eyes of outsiders. Black wizards are evil and white wizards are just. Even the whole of Europe and even us British think so."
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows. She didn't know much about wizards and only had the most basic understanding of The Strategy of the Reborn Emperor's Daughter.
Wizards, in fact, do not just refer to Western magicians. Speaking of origins, there are also stories of wizards in the East. The origin of witchcraft in the East comes from the tribe of Emperor Shun. At that time, the ancestors had just discovered salt, and Emperor Shun made one of his sons the chief of the Wuxian Kingdom to lead the people to produce salt. The Wuxian people mastered the technology of making salt from brine soil. They steamed the brine soil to precipitate the salt into crystals. Because at that time, people had little understanding of nature, and outsiders thought they were "changing magic" when they saw it. In addition, during the process of making salt, Wuxian people will hold various sacrificial activities to pray for smooth salt production. These offerings are accompanied by various wishes and prayers. After the sacrifice is completed, each process begins until white crystallized table salt is produced. This process, in the eyes of other tribes, is regarded as a kind of alchemy. Therefore, people called this technique of turning soil into salt "witchcraft".
This is where the word "witchcraft" comes from.
In ancient times, witchcraft refers to the salt-making technology of the Wuxian people, and wizards refer to those who can make salt. However, later generations gradually evolved into mystical techniques such as prayer and sacrifice, and wizards gradually evolved into people like goddesses.
But in the West, witchcraft originated from the beginning of human beings' religious awareness. It originated very early, before the three major religions in the world. Research by some scholars has shown that Western witchcraft may have originated as early as the Paleolithic Age. People's reverence for gods extended into many prayer rituals, and the rituals gradually matured and evolved into witchcraft.
Black magic and white magic come from this evolution. People believe that black magic is evil witchcraft, used to curse and take revenge on others. White witchcraft is a technique for consecrating sacrifices, praying for blessings, and dispelling diseases and disasters. It is also called auspicious witchcraft.
Black witchcraft is called black magic in the West. Xia Shao's understanding of black magic only comes from limited books and the past experience of her master. The essence of black magic lies in curses and witchcraft, and the most terrifying ones are necromancy and necromancy. It is said that the souls of dead people can be summoned. In Feng Shui terms, it can summon Yin people. But the essence of necromancy is not to summon Yin people at will, but to be able to summon the people the dark wizard wants to summon if conditions permit.
In any country, people have the same respect for the deceased. No one wants their ancestors or relatives and friends to be disturbed and not be able to rest in peace after death. And I heard that the most despised thing about dark wizards is that they use dead corpses as raw materials for their methods, which is similar to how head-dressing masters use human corpse oil. Therefore, it is normal for black magic to be ostracized and despised.
But white magic is different. Their blessing and blessing rituals are similar to church baptisms, and are said to bring good luck to people. Xia Shao knew that the Obikris family had close ties with the royal family and the church in Europe. The royal family's divination and the church's blessings were all done by the white wizards of the Obikris family. The current head of the family, the old Albert Rafael Obicris, who is over seventy years old, served as the archbishop of the church in his middle age and was very respected.
Adam's words seemed to have an overtone, and Xia Shao didn't interrupt to listen to what else he had to say.
"There is no absolute black and white in the world. Very few people know that although black magic is terrible, curses and summons are accompanied by the possibility of triple backlash. We call it the triple principle. Black wizards are not extremely hated enemies. It will harm people. Of course, there are some primary curses, and powerful dark wizards can avoid backlash, but these are mostly used as punishment and are not enough to harm people. In the history of the Obikris family, dark wizards are terrifying, and most of them are Most of the time we live in seclusion. We have various industries and are active in various fields. Most people do not know our identities. In contrast, white wizards live as wizards, praying, offering sacrifices, and receiving goods. We have won the support and trust of the world and the church." After Adam said this, he smiled and looked at Xia Shao, "Ms. Xia, you know, human nature is greedy, and the desire for power and money is endless. Even if it is the church, even Even if you are a wizard, you cannot avoid it. Black magic and white magic themselves are both witchcraft in my opinion. Justice and evil do not depend on witchcraft, but on people."
Xia Shao was unmoved after hearing this. She heard what Adam meant. What he meant was that their black wizards may not be evil, and their white wizards may not be evil
Xia Shao smiled and said, "I agree with what Mr. Adam said. But you have forgotten one thing. No matter how reasonable you are, it cannot change the facts of the year. You and I are still enemies."
Adam did not argue, he still looked so elegant, but this time he looked at Hu Jiayi, suddenly changed the topic, and asked Xia Shao: "Yi and Miss Xia are very good friends. Miss Xia thinks that she is in the UK Are you learning black magic or white magic?"
