Chapter 53: Drinking under the moon
Flowers are as good as yesterday, but things are not people. The afterglow of the setting sun in the distance shone on the top of the platform, and a golden color enveloped the long shadows of the two young men sitting on the edge of the platform. Looking at the afterglow of the setting sun, the evening breeze of the summer solstice gently blew the new wounds on the faces of the two teenagers, and through the afterglow of the setting sun, a faint black fluff could be seen on the lips of the two teenagers. One of the slightly obese teenagers asked the young man sitting next to him, "Ah Chen, are you about to break through to the realm of quenching?"
The two teenagers sitting on the edge of the cliff are Wei Chide and Jiang Chen three years later, Jiang Chen's body shape is the same as when he was twelve years old, well-proportioned and explosive but slightly thin, while Wei Chide's figure has gradually lost weight in the past three years. Jiang Chen looked at the sunset in the distance and couldn't help but think of Yue Wujing, that day it was also here to fight Zhao Rong and the others, Yue Wujing would meet Xuanyuan Qingyue and then separate from them. In the past three years, Jiang Chen and Wei Chide have indeed been constantly challenged by Zhao Rong and others as expected three years ago, especially Wei Chide's situation is even more difficult when he is alone in the spiritual courtyard. Today, the two of them also had to fight with Zhao Rong and others on this moon platform because Zhao Rong was pressing step by step. Today, Jiang Chen did his best to beat Zhao Rong and the others with all his might, saving them endless faults. Due to the changes in the environment, in the past three years, Lieutenant Chi De's cultivation has risen in a straight line, breaking through the Na Ling Realm and entering the Enlightenment Realm, and he has opened four Spiritual Skill Diagram Systems and entered the fourth layer of the Enlightenment Realm.
Jiang Chen heard Wei Chide ask him about his cultivation, shook his head and said: "I have just formed the image of the five internal organs and six internal organs, and I am only one step away from what the teacher said about the harmony of yin and yang, but I have encountered a bottleneck, and I can break through it only at a moment's notice." ”
Jiang Chen thought in his heart what Yue Qianming said to him the day before yesterday, your cultivation over the years has been too stable, although you have occasionally gone to Longshou Mountain to practice, but you have never encountered the tempering between life and death, so it is also appropriate to encounter bottlenecks, but this kind of thing is something that cannot be forced, it depends on your chance!
Wei Chide heard Jiang Chen talk about the cultivation of martial arts, but he didn't understand much, so he couldn't help asking: "Yin and yang are combined, and there is still yin and yang in the human body?" Jiang Chen nodded and said: "You really should also understand the cultivation system of martial arts, otherwise you will suffer a loss when you fight martial arts in the future, and martial arts cultivation is not as unbearable as people rumore." You should be able to feel it from me. Wei Chide nodded, it was true that although he was now at the fourth layer of the Enlightenment Realm, he was still a little invincible when he fought with Jiang Chen. I heard Jiang Chen say again: "The teacher said that the five organs are the five elements, with yin and yang. However, when it is a whole in the human body, it is a yin image, and the six organs as a whole are yang images, the solitary yin is not long, and the solitary yang is easy to crack. ”
After listening to Jiang Chen's explanation, Yu Chide nodded, thinking about what Jiang Chen said. For a while, neither of them spoke again, and the only sound around them was the sound of the evening breeze gently blowing the leaves. Since Yue Wujing left, the two of them have often been like this, after saying some things, they will suddenly fall into silence, not that they have nothing to say, but they also know that they don't have something to say, this is a tacit understanding formed after years of getting along.
After being silent for a while, I heard Wei Chi De suddenly speak: "Xue'er hasn't heard from me for a long time, I don't know what's wrong?" Jiang Chen stared at the sunset that had been half obscured by the mountains in the distance and said: "Xue'er already said in her last letter that her spiritual vein mutation has entered a critical moment and will be in retreat for a period of time, and she didn't say how long she will be in retreat. ”
Wei Chide suddenly said: "Ah Chen, do you think Xue'er will have any accidents?" and hurriedly said "Bah, Bah, Bah" a few times, and said, "It must be smooth." Jiang Chen was also taken aback, and after thinking for a while, he said again: "It won't happen, Aunt Xuanyuan can see what accidents can happen, so don't think nonsense." The sun is setting, let's go!"
On the way down the mountain, the two fell into silence again, and it was not until the foot of the mountain that Jiang Chen asked again, "Ade, are you going back to the city or to the villa?"
Wei Chide didn't know what he thought, his face turned slightly red and said, "It's so late, I won't go back, let's go to your house!"
The two of them then rode two cubs to Fengluo Villa, the slightly taller one that Jiang Chen rode was a fifteen-year-old gift from Zhao Lingyun, and the one ridden by Yu Chi De was a cub born to Yu Chi Zhongming's mount, which was also about five years old, and was only allowed to ride out by Yu Chi Zhongming after he was fifteen years old this year.
After the two of them returned to Fengluo Villa, Wei Chide opened his mouth and asked, "Ah Chen, I don't know if Sister Xiangming is back?" Jiang Chen looked back at Wei Chide suspiciously and said, "When we left today, Sister Xiangming had already said that she and my mother would stay at Aunt Lu's house tonight, did you forget?" He also said: "That Zhao Shuirong is really watery, he used to be one level higher than me, but now I am one level higher than him." ”
Jiang Chen saw that Wei Chi De teased that Zhao Rong and said, "Who knows what kind of elixir your kid has eaten, and his cultivation has risen recently." He said again: "Uncle Wei Chi didn't let you lay a solid foundation! Your realm has indeed been a little fast recently, so there won't be any problems!"
Yu Chide said with a slight triumph: "No, this is the beauty of my family's exercises. He said with a bitter face: "But I heard my father say that when you reach the Tibetan Weapon Realm, you will slow down again, and you will be two levels slower than the cultivators of the same realm." ”
Jiang Chen heard that Wei Chi De said that it would not have any effect, so he stopped talking, after the two entered the door, handed over the mount to the servant, and went directly to Jiang Chen's courtyard, he met Yue Shu walking alone under the bright moon that had just risen into the sky, and the two hurriedly bowed down to say hello and prepared to leave. Yue Shutong stopped the two of them today and said, "Xiao Chen, Xiao De come, sit with Grandpa Yue for a while." Jiang Chen was okay, but Wei Chide had a bitter face, and came to Yue Shutong, who was already sitting on the edge of the stone table, Yue Shutong casually pointed to the two seats next to him, and Jiang Chen and the two sat on both sides. I saw that Yue Shutong suddenly smiled slyly, took out a jar of wine from his feet, and a few wine bowls, and distributed them to Jiang Chen and Wei Chide, then filled the wine for the two of them, and said: "Today, I will give you two little guys a taste of the good wine I have hidden, the thousand-year-old spirit truffle, and taste it well, I heard that it is very good for cultivators." ”
Jiang Chen and Wei Chide looked a little restrained, Yue Shutong scolded with a smile: "Don't pretend to be you two stinky boys, it's not once or twice to drink secretly, let go of the drink today, the wine is enough, I'm not the old stubborn that Qin'er's girl said." ”
Jiang Chen was slightly embarrassed, but when Wei Chide heard Yue Shutong say this, he smiled cheekily, smelling the smell of wine and shaking his throat, but he didn't dare to make any moves. I saw that Yue Shutong also poured a full bowl for himself, and after picking up the wine bowl and touching it with the wine bowl in front of Jiang Chen and Wei Chide, he took a sip of it by himself, and closed his eyes with a look of intoxication. After opening his eyes immediately, he saw that Jiang Chen and the two still didn't make any moves, but they smiled, regardless of the two of them, drinking by themselves.
Seeing this situation, Wei Chide really didn't feel like Grandpa Yue had set a trap to deliberately test the two, and mustered up the courage to try to pick up the wine bowl in front of him, and Jiang Chen was the same. The two of them looked at Yue Shutong's face and tried to bring the wine bowl to their mouths, moving slowly. Seeing that Yue Shutong really didn't care about the two of them, he learned from Yue Shutong's appearance, took a sip, and instantly felt that the aura in his mouth was overflowing, and there was a faint bitter and spicy taste in the sweetness, as if he had the artistic conception and taste of life that the two of them couldn't say.
Yue Shutong looked at the golden wine syrup in the cup, and suddenly said, "The silver moon shines on the dragon's head, and the breeze moves the truffle." The troubles in the world are all for profit and fame. You love the name behind you, and I love the wine in front of you. Drinking is fun in front of you, where is the fame?"
Although Jiang Chen and Yu Chide didn't know why Yue Shutong sighed, they didn't prevent Yu Chide from taking the opportunity to pat Yue Shutong's ass, and said, "Good poetry, good poetry." It's been a long time since Grandpa Yue heard you compose poems. Yue Shutong scolded with a smile: "It's strange that you kid can understand, and you have the same virtue as Lao Tzu." ”
Jiang Chen took a sip gently, but saw that Yu Chide also drank the wine in the bowl as follows Yue Shutong's appearance, and the wine instantly made Wei Chide's face red, and he was busy using the aura to suppress the wine, and he also drank it like an adult: "Good wine", and laughed at Yue Shutong: "You kid is greedy for the wine in the old man's altar, and it won't be like this!" But Xiao Chen is not happy, they are all little man, and there are three bowls of wine after doing this. Your mother is not at home tonight, so she breaks away and drinks, and everyone takes care of you. Jiang Chen had to drink all the wine in the bowl, but with the experience of Yu Chide, Jiang Chen poured the wine in his mouth, swallowed it carefully, and felt the warmth in his stomach, and then felt that the flow rate of his qi and blood was a little faster, carrying the aura in the wine all over his body.
Yue Shutong restrained his laughter, and was about to add new wine, Yu Chide hurriedly stood up, took the wine jar and filled the wine bowl for the three of them, looking at the skillful posture, it was true that Jiang Chen and the two of them were stealing wine to drink, and after adding wine, he heard Yue Shutong suddenly ask: "Xiao Chen, Xiao De, since the old man just said that you are already a little man, what are your plans for your future?"
Jiang Chen and Wei Chi De couldn't help but be stunned when they heard Yue Shutong suddenly ask about their vision for the future, but they heard Jiang Chen speak first: "Grandpa Yue, I want to join the army, this is an idea I had when I was seven years old. ”
Wei Chide was also stunned when he heard Jiang Chen say this, but he had never heard Jiang Chen mention it. Yue Shutong didn't seem to be surprised at all by what Jiang Chen said, as if he had already guessed it, and asked again: "Xiaode, what about you?" Wei Chide lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "I don't know either, but I want to be like my father or Uncle Yue or Uncle Qin." ”
Yue Shutong pondered for a moment before asking, "Then are you doing it for fame or profit?" or Jiang Chen said first: "Nothing, when I watched the ceremony of the border army of the Four Realms entering the city, my blood seemed to be ignited at that time, and I still remember that feeling, I want to be one of them." ”
Yue Shutong flicked his beard and nodded, he was young and not enthusiastic, and he walked in vain for the world. Then he looked at Wei Chide, and Wei Chide said directly without hesitation this time: "I'm not for fame or profit, as for what, I haven't thought of it yet." ”
Yue Shutong lowered his head and pondered, seeing that his expression not only had something to happen today, but also had such an impact on him. Yue Shutong didn't make any comments on the ideals of the two of them, raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, and only said: "All living beings in the world are just for better survival in the world. Some are fighting for their own lives, some for the inheritance of their family bloodline, some are fighting for the living space of their own people, and some are working hard for the better survival of all races in this world. My teacher used to say, 'Death is not scary because it is also a part of life, but the meaning of death is different.' But what I want to say is that at any time, don't give up hope of living, even if the sky is falling apart, don't give up hope of life, because only by living can you protect everything you care about. ”
Yue Shutong looked at Jiang Chen and the others, who were listening to him carefully, but laughed at himself: "When people are old, they always like to say some specious truths, you can listen to them, and the future road will be taken by yourself." ”
Yue Shutong looked at the two teenagers who were in confusion, laughed and said, "Come, accompany the old man to continue drinking." Jiang Chen and the two looked at each other, and they both saw a puzzled look on each other's faces, why is Grandpa Yue, who has always been square in front of the juniors, like this today?
