In the cold and dark lobby, there are several wall fires hung with iron hooks on the surrounding bluestones, but they are not the main lighting for the whole hall. On the east and west sides of the spacious lobby, a fist-sized luminous pearl is placed on each side, illuminating the entire hall with its shining light.
On the high seat, a handsome man in black lowered his eyes, looking coldly at a man and a woman under the seat.
Bu Chuchu's complexion was frighteningly pale, and even the bright red red dress couldn't dye her a little bit of color. At this time, she was being tightly embraced by Chu Ge, her eyes were closed tightly, and her eyelids were floating in pain, as if she was suffering unbearable torture.
Chu Ge hugged the woman he loved in his arms a little more, and shouted in a low voice: "... I beg you, give me the holy fruit of the devil... the holy religion! I am willing to use Luoshui, fire, and me Everything you have in exchange!" The voice was hoarse and dry, like an old blower, ugly and obscure.
The voice was sad and desperate, and the calm and indifferent face of the man in black above the high hall did not fluctuate at all. He just glanced at the enchanting woman in red in Chu Ge's arms, and said, "Oh, the holy fruit has been passed down for thousands of years, how can it be used for such a trivial matter?"
Chu Ge's throat froze, and he shouted in disbelief: "Isn't she the saint of your demon sect?!"
The cold and heartless man let out a contemptuous snort from his nose, and said cruelly: "For thousands of years, there is only one holy fruit, but there are countless holy women." , isn't it the jade red beads that those sanctimonious hypocrites of your Wulin League planted?"
Chu Ge's eyes widened suddenly, his whole body was stiff, and he wanted to refute the other party, but found... there was no reason to argue at all.
That night, the top of the snow-capped mountain was covered with blood, and the moonlight was endless. The Liancheng Sect's more than a hundred members were all wiped out, and only Chu Ge and the younger brother were left alive. For this reason, Chu Ge cruelly cut off his love with Bu Chuchu, and since then he has been strangers, and regards him as the enemy of the Tumen, and he is bound to avenge the master's school.
Unexpectedly, after several months of secret investigations, Chu Ge found that he had gradually fallen into the quagmire of the Wulin League and could not extricate himself. The leader of the beggar gang, who looks majestic on the outside, but sinister on the inside, the heads of the Five Sacred Mountains who form their own camps and alliances, and even the famous, insidious and cunning hero Yao Senior, the entire martial arts alliance was supposed to eliminate evil for the common people of the world and the righteous way of the Central Plains. Yang Shan, but this group of self-proclaimed upright villains use this as their name to fight for fame and fortune, and harm the martial arts world!
At first, when Chu Ge discovered the hypocrisy of these villains, he couldn't believe it. However, as he went deeper step by step, he discovered a more frightening fact——
That night when the Liancheng sect was massacred, the one who spattered three feet of blood was not the evildoer in his imagination, but the unrivaled hero who wholeheartedly wanted to seize the position of the leader of the martial arts! Gaining fame and reputation, the methods are ruthless, even more cold-blooded and ruthless than the monsters of the Demon Cult!
On the contrary, the reason why Chu Ge was lured into the bait five years ago at the beginning of Buchu was because he wanted to steal the sacred object of the Liancheng Sect, the Tianshan Snow Lotus. Five years ago, the leader of the Demon Cult became obsessed with practicing magic skills, and urgently needed Tianshan Snow Lotus to relieve his demonic nature. Naturally, it is impossible to let the outside world know about the madness, so it was handed over to the saintess Bu Chuchu to steal it secretly.
In fact, for five years, Bu Chuchu has been sneaking into Liancheng Sect to look for Tianshan Snow Lotus, but each time he just left sadly. Until the night of the massacre, Bu Chuchu was discovered by the leader of the martial arts alliance and the head of the Liancheng sect. After some negotiations between the two, the respected old man was willing to offer Tianshan Snow Lotus with both hands for his first disciple.
Then, the reason why the word "devil" was written on the corner was because the head of the sect misunderstood that the demon sect seized treasure to seek his life, but in fact it had nothing to do with Bu Chuchu. It wasn't until three months later, when the leader's demonic nature was completely released, that Bu Chuchu told Chu Ge the truth. He didn't expect that it would bring about a fatal disaster for the two of them.
What is the right way!
What is the magic way!
The world is so big, but there is no place for Chu Ge. He hated himself for being too stupid, too ignorant. What is truly terrifying is not the evil on the surface, but the darkness hidden deep in people's hearts. But now, all of this is white clouds and dogs, nothingness and fantasy. Chu Ge only wished that he and Bu Chuchu would go back to the mountains and forests, and never ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes again.
"I would like to exchange my life for the first life of Chuchu! She lived and died for you, and it took five years to find Tianshan Snow Lotus. How can you just watch her suffer from the poison of the green pearl and die in pain like this?!"
But seeing the man in the black sneer, he threw Chu Ge and Bu Chuchu out of the hall with just a flick of his sleeves. The hall was empty, leaving only a plausible sentence: "When you misunderstood that she stole your inner disciple's door number, why didn't you say that you were willing to trade your life for your life?"
"All of this started because of that house number, and in the end...it should end because of it."
"Wait, step back."
The door that symbolized hope closed in front of Chu Ge. He wanted to rush in again in disbelief, but he couldn't open the black iron door at all. The setting sun is reflected in the sky in the west, and the turmoil in the martial arts forest has stopped, but the bright and enchanting woman in his arms can no longer play the piano with her sleeves up, and can no longer... sway the flames.
Chu Ge knelt down on his knees, tears finally fell to the ground.
…
It was evening when the last scene was filmed. The mellow sunset fell down along the continuous mountains, and everyone on the set was busy, ready to change to another scene. The makeup artist was wiping the blood off Lin Xi's face and putting on another outfit. Lin Xi looked up and saw Uno.
Uno had already changed out of his costume and makeup, and put on a silver-gray knitted gown. Unaware of Lin Xi's gaze, Uno hurried out of the set as soon as he left the dressing room. His steps were so hurried that he didn't have time to say hello to the rest of the crew.
"Lin Xi, it's all right, just change into this dress." The makeup artist's suddenly raised voice pulled Lin Xi back from his thoughts, and he nodded with a faint smile and responded.
After taking the costume from the make-up artist, Lin Xi raised his eyes and glanced at the cold and tall figure's back, then quickly withdrew his gaze and walked towards the dressing room.
It has been more than a month since I came to Lotte Studios. Uno has very few shots, but he has been dragging the last few shots and has not taken them for a long time. Originally, Lin Xi thought that because the other party happened to have a two-month vacation, he planned to wrap up with the crew. Unexpectedly, Uno suddenly received a call from Zhao Xian last night. Somehow, he asked Wu Zhen to quickly finish shooting his camera.
So all day today, the whole crew followed Uno to shoot his scenes. From morning to night, until the last scene just now, all the scenes were finally filmed. As soon as the filming was over, Uno left the set without stopping.
Slightly squinting his eyes, Lin Xi couldn't help but slow down a lot. Staring at the ground thoughtfully, frowning slightly, he secretly thought: It must be... a big deal to make Uno rush like this.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xi put this doubt behind her. Since Uno didn't explain it to himself or others, it must not be about CX Entertainment, it's probably his personal matter. Thinking about it, he should be able to handle it well.
The night was getting cooler, and the moonlight like water quietly filled the whole valley.
In the magnificent attic with carved beams and painted buildings, huge lights illuminate the set like daylight from all angles. With the sound of "start" and "click", the entire crew began to shoot in an orderly manner.
After another shot was over, Lin Xi took the tea from Wang Fang and raised his head to take a sip. After handing back the teacup to Wang Fang, his eyes fell on the empty seat next to his reclining chair. The man left in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to deal with these trivial matters.
His eyes shrank suddenly, his thin lips moved, and Lin Xi forgot about the empty seat for a long time. Before returning to his senses, he suddenly heard a clear female voice: "Lin Xi, start shooting the next scene!"
Suddenly regaining consciousness, Lin Xi immediately cleared away all kinds of inexplicable thoughts in his mind, and after turning his head in response, he turned around and rushed to the set to prepare for the next scene. As soon as he walked to the scene in the lobby of the Wulin League, he ran into Ye Yiyi. The two looked at each other and smiled. They didn't communicate much, but they understood each other's meaning with just a look.
After a clear and loud sound of hitting the board, the coercion was lifted, and the clothes fluttered in the studio.
The moon is shining brightly, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.
Everything seemed to be back to normal.
----------
A black Toyota nanny car slowly drove out of the underground parking lot of the Lotte Hotel, made a steady turn, and drove onto the spacious and flat road. The bright yellow street lights on the two roads shone on the shiny black body, reflecting a cold light.
Uno leaned back and sat on the back of the driver's seat, and gently pressed "Zhao Xian" in the address book with his slender and beautiful fingers.
After a brief beep, the call was connected.
"Hey Uno, where have you been?"
Uno lowered his eyes: "Leave the film crew and go to H city airport."
"Oh, okay, the flight ticket I booked for you is three hours later. I'm too busy today, so I can only book it at this time." There was the sound of typing on the keyboard, and after a while, Zhao Xian He added: "I just received an email from Steven. When you arrive in the United States tomorrow, you can go directly to Hollywood to discuss with him. Elektra has already arrived."
Squinting his dark eyes, Uno nodded and said, "Okay."
"Okay, then I'll go to the United States to find you after I finish dealing with the matter here." Finally, after everything was arranged, Zhao Xian let out a sigh of relief. He suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how are you and Lin Xi doing now?"
When this name was mentioned suddenly, Uno was shocked. Zhao Xian's loud voice did not restrain himself, his voice echoed in the quiet car, and the assistant Xiao Zhang in the driver's seat couldn't help raising his head, and secretly looked at Uno in the rear seat from the rearview mirror .
I saw the elegant and noble man closed his deep eyes, and said in a helpless tone: "It seems that there has been some progress, but..." Sighed lightly, and said: "It's nothing."
"..." The other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and suddenly broke out: "Who knows how long you will stay in the United States this time! Wait a few months, half a year later, in case something happens, you are still going to continue to hide in the corner secretly, Are you crying looking at someone's back?!"
"..." Qingting frowned, Uno said in a low voice, "I didn't cry."
"... It's only less than an hour's journey from Lotte to H City Airport, why don't you go back and explain it to them right away? Since you've said that you've made some progress, you should do it quickly! If this continues, you're really planning for ten thousand years Single?"
All of a sudden, as if he was talking too much, Zhao Xian chattered and reprimanded him loudly on the other end of the phone. But after a while, Uno suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed the hang up button, and the world... suddenly became quiet.
Assistant Xiao Zhang naturally also heard Zhao Xian's words, he carefully raised his head to look at Uno in the rearview mirror, swallowed his saliva, and asked, "Should we... turn around and go back to the hotel?"
As soon as the voice fell, the carriage suddenly fell into dead silence. Just when Xiao Zhang regretted his meddling, Uno suddenly raised his dark eyes and said in a low voice, "Go back."
The black nanny car made a beautiful drift on the empty road, turned a 180° bend, and then quickly drove in the direction it came from. Like a black lightning, with impatient anticipation.
----------
Lin Xi had just returned to the room and hadn't changed his shoes when he suddenly heard a dull knock on the door.
Lin Xi was only slightly surprised for a moment, then turned around and opened the door. As soon as he raised his eyes, he met a pair of deep eyes.
Lin Xi came back to his senses after being stunned for a while, and asked strangely: "Uno? Why are you here? Didn't you go to the H city airport?"
Wearing a close-fitting silver-gray gown, probably because he walked in a hurry, Uno's black hair was a little messy on his cheeks. With panting that hadn't calmed down yet, the handsome man opened his lips and said, "I'm leaving."
Suddenly unable to understand what the other party meant, Lin Xi asked subconsciously: "Are you leaving?" Suddenly understanding, Lin Xi asked again strangely: "I know, you forgot something, or is there something wrong? ?"
Uno didn't answer.
An awkward atmosphere suddenly spread between the two. Fortunately, there were not many people living in the room on the top floor, and there were only Uno and Lin Xi standing in a strange and dull posture in the empty corridor.
After an unknown amount of time, when Lin Xi was confused and wanted to ask again, Uno opened his lips: "The next time we meet may be several months away."
Lin Xi frowned and said, "So long? Well, you can call. But, will it disturb you?"
On the other hand, Uno shook his head lightly, with an imperceptible smile on his thin lips: "No. I think we will have a chance to cooperate in the future, and I... look forward to it."
Lin Xi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled and curled his lips: "Okay, I will definitely not let you wait too long."
The nanmu gate was only opened with a gap half the width of a person, barely revealing half of Uno's tall and tall figure. The bright light in the corridor shone inward from behind Uno, covering his whole body with a layer of faint white light.
"This one is for you."
Lin Xi lowered his head slowly, his eyes widened slowly.
The smile in his eyes froze for a moment.
A fresh and tender white rose suddenly appeared in front of Lin Xi's eyes. There were two crystal drops of water on the thin and tender petals. The flower was full and ready to bud. The faint fragrance of flowers gradually permeates the air, which is pleasant and fresh.
Her eyes were fixed on the white rose that suddenly appeared, but Lin Xi didn't reach out to accept it for a long time. Uno didn't speak either, and Lin Xi's heart was at war between heaven and man, and he didn't know how to react.
Time ticked by.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xi finally sighed softly, raised his head and asked, "Why did you give me this?"
The taciturn man closed his dark eyes lightly, and it was hard to see the expression on his mixed-race face because of the backlight. Uno opened his lips lowly: "I saw the only one in the flower bed downstairs of the hotel. You like it."
"Do you know what the flower language of a white rose... is?" After thinking for a long time, Lin Xi couldn't help asking.
Silence spread again.
Uno slowly raised his lips, probably because the tenderness in his eyes was so overflowing that his cold face softened a bit.
"I know."
Short and powerful words suddenly sounded in the corridor, Lin Xi's eyes widened, and he felt a stagnation in his throat.
"Uno, the time is coming!" Assistant Xiao Zhang's voice suddenly sounded from the other end of the corridor, instantly breaking the awkward and frozen atmosphere.
Lin Xi was taken aback when he heard the words, but saw that Uno was still looking at himself seriously with cold black eyes, and said, "This is for you." He still repeated this sentence stubbornly, as if he was eager to get it. Like the approved children, they are simple but stubborn enough to refuse to change.
When Lin Xi recovered, unconsciously, the dark brown nanmu door had closed behind him. Uno had already left for the airport, and he also walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass window, staring blankly at the dark land outside the window for a long time.
Lin Xi lowered her head slowly, her eyes stopped on the fresh and beautiful white rose in her hand.
The flower language of a white rose—
In my heart, only you.
