Chapter 1509 Time is like a knife
This is a short, narrow, L-shaped street paved with cobblestones, named "Lan Kwai Fong".Lan Kwai Fong nightclub in Hong Kong, a mid-to-high-end consumer area where bars and restaurants gather.

The nightclubs here, with very westernized names and decorations, are full of exotic flavors. They are known as Hong Kong’s unique cultural special zone. The bar style is quite fashionable, the decoration is unique, not luxurious, and the furnishings are simple. There are armchairs, various beers and other wines and wine glasses on the wine cabinet, and there are not many decorations.

Many bars set up stalls facing the street, and most of them are very small, with only a few dozen seats; but they have a lot of signboards, and almost all of them are in English.A beautiful girl dressed in black but with an astonishingly white complexion was drinking wine alone at the bar.She seemed to be waiting for someone.For such a beautiful girl, there should be plenty of flirtatious people around her.

But all men have some instinct to stay away from her.Like there's a lot about her that's disturbing, maybe even dangerous.I don't know why, it's like this girl has a label of "don't get close to strangers" on her body.This is indeed a bit strange, just like her name is Jiangnan.

Although she lived abroad since she was a child, she has never seen the river that the Chinese refer to, and she doesn't know where Jiangnan is.But this does not prevent her from being called Jiangnan.Jiang Nan was very angry today because she felt like she was being blackmailed, so she took it out on her wine glass.Until one hand pressed the cup in her hand.

Zhang Jian sat beside her, "How is things going, I let you come to Hong Kong. I didn't let you go to nightclubs here."

"I found the Zoroastrian Stone. I traced it from Italy to England, and finally confirmed that it was in the hands of a jeweler. But now something went wrong. I don't know what happened to this matter. It was found by Fan Jiannan Got it." Jiang Nan said a little angrily.

"It seems that he intervened, and you seem to be deflated." Zhang Jian turned his head, reached out and gestured to the bartender, "Vodka."

"This bastard seems to see the importance we attach to this thing, and he asked us to pay an outrageous price. God, this guy is simply a scoundrel. How could such a person become a Wushu person?" Jiang Nan shook his head and said, "Didn't you say that the people of Wushu are some outsiders? I think that's the case, a bastard who is obsessed with money."

"If you look at Fan Jiannan in this way, it can only show that Fan Jiannan's goal has been achieved. He is a very smart guy, but sometimes he will deliberately pretend to be stupid, because only in this way will we despise him. I understand what he is like Man, he is definitely not a greedy person." Zhang Jian took the wine glass that the bartender pushed from the table and smiled.

"He asked for [-] million euros." Jiang Nan said with a wry smile, "He probably thought that the Holy Chapter Brotherhood's money came from the wind."

Zhang Jian frowned slightly, "He really said that?"

"Yes. And I won't give you a counter-offer, that's why I came to you. We have to find a way to deal with him." Jiang Nan said slowly.

Zhang Jian was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Then give it to him."

"What?!" Jiangnan turned his head to look at Zhang Jian, with an egg stuffed into his mouth that was opened in surprise.

"I said give him the money. If it is really the Zoroastrian Stone, then the price is not expensive." Zhang Jian said calmly. "And we can afford it."

"You really want to spend money to buy that gemstone?" Jiang Nan still looked at Zhang Jian in surprise.

"Why do you ask me like this? Did I always give you the impression that I was stingy?" Zhang Jian said after taking a sip of his wine.

"No, you...I mean that stone is really so important?" Jiang Nan frowned, "Worth the price we paid? This amount of money is not a small amount, even our fraternity will be nervous for a while."

"Jiangnan, you must remember that things that can be solved with money are usually not considered problems. The real trouble is that no matter how much money you spend, you can't get it done." Zhang Jian said with a smile, "I'll do it later Tell Fan Jiannan about this matter, and we agree. I will transfer the money from the brotherhood's reserve account and let you start to do it."

"I don't understand, why do these things have to be handled through me? You are obviously in Hong Kong, and if you go, Fan Jiannan will not be so presumptuous." Jiang Nan frowned.

"You're wrong. Fan Jiannan is very presumptuous towards everyone. Compared to me, it's easier to let a woman do it myself. At least Fan Jiannan won't go too far." Zhang Jian said with a sigh. "Besides, I really can't show up in person now. Otherwise, why should we meet in such a place when we meet?"

"So, Fan Jiannan is right." Jiang Nan said angrily.

"What did he say?" Zhang Jian frowned.

"He said that you will definitely spend money to buy it, otherwise he will announce the news that this stone is in his hands. Maybe some Chinese immortal will be very interested in buying that stone." Jiangnan slowly typical.

Zhang Jian smiled wryly, "Well, he's really right. The Chinese immortal refers to Wu Nanming. To be honest, he is a very dangerous person, and he should be the most powerful immortal I have ever seen. If he knows that the Zoroastrian Stone is in our hands, it will definitely not be a good thing."

"Mr. Principal, you seem to be very afraid of that Chinese immortal. In this case, why don't we..." Jiang Nan didn't continue, but there was a murderous look in his eyes.

"No, at least not yet. We still need this person." Zhang Jian said slowly, "We must rely on Wu Nanming to fight against the members of the Yishu Council. Wu Nanming also thinks so, and he also needs us, so He hasn't done anything to us yet. Of course I want to get rid of him, but it's not the right time yet." Zhang Jian shook his head and said, "Do as I said, and then let's resolve this matter as soon as possible."

Jiang Nan nodded silently, "Okay, since it's your wish."

Zhang Jian nodded and said calmly, "After completing this deal, I will leave you a seat in the brotherhood. Congratulations, you are one step closer to being the principal."

"Where is the crow, why didn't you see your follower this time?" Jiang Nan said casually.

"Him? How can he think about doing things now?" Zhang Jian sneered. "Stop talking about this, I'm leaving."

Jiang Nan nodded and watched Zhang Jian turn around and walk out of the bar.

Contrary to Jiangnan, Zhang Jian doesn't seem to care much about losing this large sum of money.He was even a little fortunate that the matter could be settled with money.He glanced at the brightly lit street, shook his collar, and walked into the darkness.

Back at the hiding place, Zhang Jian found Wu Ya waiting for him.He walked over as if nothing had happened, but Wu Ya stopped him, "I want to talk to you."

"What's the matter today, you don't go to accompany that woman, but you want to talk to me?" Zhang Jian shrugged.

"Linghu Bai's condition is very bad. I think she needs your help." Wu Ya said hoarsely and angrily, "Why is she recovering so slowly? It is also accepting the secret of longevity and enduring the pain of life. Su Xuanshui only experienced It took a month, and she still hasn't recovered. I need an explanation!"

Zhang Jian shrugged, "Everyone's physical condition is different. Linghu Bai suffered from progeria and accepted the secret of longevity in an extremely weak condition. Naturally, he can't compare to the young and strong Su Xuanshui when he recovers. I Will you be satisfied with this explanation? Well, it seems not."

"Is there any way you can make her recover sooner, no matter what I can do." Wu Ya said in a deep voice.

"God, this is really tricky. As I said, these things depend on individual constitutions, and not everyone can bear the pain of life. Some things are born, and no one can change them. This principle, It's like drinking. Some people can drink a lot, and they won't get drunk after drinking a lot. Some people lose consciousness after drinking a glass. It all depends on the individual's physique, how do you ask me to help her?" Zhang Jian looked at Wu Ya and said .

But Wu Ya shook his head and said, "You are an immortal, I know you must have a way."

"Do you really think that the immortals are omnipotent gods? To put it bluntly, we are just mutations caused by some kind of magic power, which makes our metabolism completely different from ordinary people. But this does not mean that we are omnipotent, you and I After so long, I am the most clear about this point." Zhang Jian looked at Wu Ya and sneered.

A painful moan came from the room, it was Linghu Bai's voice, and the pain of her life began to attack again.Wu Ya quickly turned around and walked into the room, and Zhang Jian also walked in behind him.

Linghu Bai was lying on the bed, most of his white hair had fallen off, his face was haggard and haggard.It was hard to imagine that she, who looked like this, turned out to be the beauty in the art world that many people admired back then.

Wu Ya took a few steps forward and squatted at the head of the bed, holding her hand, whispered, "I'm here, I'm still here. I will always be by your side."

Linghu Bai said intermittently, "I feel uncomfortable all over, the blood in my veins seems to be burning... What's wrong with me?"

"Soon, it will be fine soon. Just bear with it, bear with it, maybe you will be fine after this period of time. Then you will gain eternal life, a real immortality." Wu Ya said somewhat At a loss, he held Linghu Bai's withered hand.

"Your voice is familiar. Have we met before? Why do I feel like I've never seen you before?" Linghu Bai murmured.

Wu Ya almost choked up, and he hung his head.He didn't have the courage to tell her that they had known each other.Back then Linghu Bai was a well-known beauty in the art world, wearing a white dress, she had attracted countless men.There are countless most outstanding men around her, but Wu Ya is just an ordinary young man who has a crush on her.In order to get close to her, he even sneaked into the expedition team and became a driver.

And how could the unattainable Linghu Bai have any impression of a driver who was running errands?
Wu Ya lowered her head, biting her teeth so that her lips were bleeding.But he still said softly, "You don't have to think too much, we've never met before. I'm just here to save you."

"Maybe, you shouldn't have saved me." Linghu Bai sighed, "Maybe I should die like this. Sometimes I even think that dying in silence may be my best ending ..."

"No!" Wu Ya couldn't help sobbing, "You shouldn't die, you shouldn't die like this."

"I'm so sad, I can't even open my eyes... My body seems to be burning, burning deep into my skull. It feels so uncomfortable and strange." Linghu Bai said with difficulty.

Zhang Jian stepped forward, pushed Wu Ya away, touched Linghu Bai's forehead with his hand, and looked at her eyelids.In a low voice, "Her body temperature has reached the critical point. And her eyes are also bleeding, which is a late symptom."

"Late stage symptoms?" Wu Ya was stunned for a moment, and then said with ecstasy, "So she's going to get over it soon, and her pain is coming to an end?"

Zhang Jian shook his head and said coldly, "Even if we get over it, it's just the beginning. This kind of pain in life will become a normal state, and it will be unavoidable for all immortals throughout the rest of her life. Unless we can find The way to make the secret of immortality complete. Otherwise her suffering will be the same as ours, without end."

Wu Ya's eyes panicked, "What can I do? Tell me, what can I do for her?"

Zhang Jian sighed, "You have already done everything you can do for her." After speaking, Zhang Jian turned and walked out.

Wu Ya quickly took two steps, caught up with Zhang Jian outside the door, and whispered, "Can she recover?"

"That depends on what kind of recovery you mean. Maybe it will gradually recover, but only to the state when she suffered from progeria. She may not die, but she will age forever. Do you still miss her Return to the stunning beauty before, and have a vigorous love with you?" Zhang Jian said mockingly.

"I'm not... I'm just..." Wu Ya didn't know what to say helplessly.

"Wu Ya, your biggest failure is your infatuation. What do you want? Decades ago, she was young and beautiful. Even if she is not due to progeria, she will already be a rich and handsome aunt after decades. In a few decades, she will look like this now. In all fairness, if you saw her like this back then, would you still fall in love with her?

"No! You don't understand my feelings. Some feelings can transcend time." Wu Ya said sharply.

"Time is like a knife, and all living beings in the world are nothing more than pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. If you want to surpass this limit, you must become a long-lived person like us. Maybe now, you still don't understand our pursuit.

You are indulging in emotions in life, but we are trying to go beyond life itself.I have feelings, and I don't lack them, but I will not be attached to feelings. "Zhang Jian said slowly, "Seeing that you have been with me for so many years, I will give you the last advice, give up these illusory things.Be a real man, be strong and live stubbornly.You grieve for her while you're alive, but she won't care a bit when you die because she's already immortal.Your grief is worthless to her. "
