Chapter 8 Bitter wine burns the heart, and the red dust talks about it

The whole book .,The fastest update of the latest chapter of the Tianji Sword Song!

In the Songlin guest house, Gou You, Xuanying, and Zhan Xingchuan looked at each other, and were silent at Shao Heng, who went and returned, with a pale face. Only Agucha didn't notice any difference, pulling the absent-minded and reluctant Xuanying to twitter.

Xuanying was upset, but she felt that Shao Heng and Shen Yuanxi's faces were very solemn, and she didn't dare to make a noise of annoyance, and she was afraid that Agucha would have no eyesight, so she could only deal with it in a hurry.

Shao Heng sat in a daze, and he couldn't even remember when he would return and how he would return to the Songlin Guest House. He only remembered the heavy snow in the afternoon, and only remembered the cold wind howling.

Shen Yuanxi sat opposite Shao Heng, a teapot on the table spewing hot air. Between the curling white smoke, Shen Yuanxi stretched out his right hand and pinched the handle of the pot with three fingers, but when he saw a strange golden light flashing in his palm, his movements paused.

The sky was dim, and the snow was falling heavily outside the hall, Shao Heng was in a trance, and he didn't notice the golden light and movements of Shen Yuanxi's right palm.

Shen Yuanxi couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart, and his mood was quite complicated.

Since he and Shao Heng met, they have almost nothing to talk about each other. But there is only one thing, Shen Yuanxi has not revealed half a point to Shao Heng so far.

On the one hand, Shao Heng had repeated encounters back then, and Shen Yuanxi had no time to think about it, but on the other hand, he really didn't know where to start in his heart.

In the Lingji Cave Heaven that year, Shen Yuanxi was the first to climb that majestic mountain, and the first person to step into that mountaintop Heavenly Palace.

Among them, Shen Yuanxi never mentioned it to anyone, including his master Qingjing Zhenren.

This matter is complicated, even Shen Yuanxi, who has experienced it personally, is difficult to describe, not to mention that this matter has always been very troubled in his heart, so he is reluctant to mention it.

And right now, it's obviously not a good time either.

He poured a cup of hot tea for Shao Heng, but the tea obviously could not iron and relieve Shao Heng's complicated and sad heart at the moment.

"Agucha, wine!" Shao Heng shouted with his head down.

Agucha himself is a good wine, so he naturally carries some with him, and before going up the mountain, he also exchanged a lot of home-brewed wine at the farmer's house at the foot of the mountain.

Hearing Shao Heng ask for wine, Agucha was naturally unwilling, but Gou You and Xuanying shot together, snatched it from him, and handed it to Shao Heng.

He was about to complain loudly, but Zhan Xingchuan pulled him in private, and Agucha finally noticed that the atmosphere was strange and didn't say much.

Agucha's wine is naturally not a good wine.

The mouth is as hot as a knife, and there is scum left between the teeth.

But Shao Heng didn't seem to realize it, and drank half of the pot in one go. The smell of wine is like a fire, surging up the heart, burning the cheeks, and leaving a bitter aftertaste.

Seeing this, Shen Yuanxi pondered for a moment, stretched out his long arms across the table and asked Shao Heng for a wine jug. Shao Heng handed it casually, and after he caught it, he also drank a small half pot directly. He drank a little faster, choked on a sip, coughed a few times, suppressed the wine and sighed, "It's so bitter." ”

Shao Heng's body stiffened slightly, then smiled bitterly, took back the wine jug, and drank it in small sips.

A drop of bitter wine burns people's hearts.

"You and I have not drunk together for a long time. Shen Yuanxi knocked lightly on the table, and said in a thoughtful tone: "I know that you feel uncomfortable, but the matter has come to this, you should look at it in your heart." ”

"Senior brother!" Shao Heng suddenly interrupted Shen Yuanxi's words in a loud voice, and said with a pale face: "You don't understand......"

Shen Yuanxi was stunned at first, and then he was a little angry in his heart, so he looked up at the wind and snow outside the hall and said, "I may not understand, but I guess what you are worried about." Senior brother, when something like this happened to Sister Yu, I am also sad, let alone you? You are in pain, but because of guilt. Her injuries are here to find you after all. ”

"Yes, yes...... Brother, I'm ...... I...... I have never delayed anything, not even ...... because of my children's affection He didn't hesitate to put her aside. Shao Heng's heart was full of sadness, guilt, panic, and uneasiness, soaked in bitter wine.

He always felt that the future was so long, no matter what kind of misunderstanding was difficult, there would always be a day when the two of them would stay together.

After so many choices, he chose something else than her.

At this moment, a huge panic devoured Shao Heng's heart.

He was afraid, afraid of God's tricks and ruthlessness, and afraid of the future.

Xiao Yu needs to recuperate, but Shao Heng still has many things that he can't let go. The feud of the master, the moth in the Cunwei Mountain, the seal of the Star Luo Sect, and the identity of the people behind the scenes, not to mention the upcoming True Demon Alliance and the upcoming possible invasion of the Demon Clan.

Can he ignore Xiao Yu's passing life and concentrate on other things?

Or, can he let go of his responsibilities, forget the conspiracy, and concentrate on accompanying Xiao Yu?

Shen Yuanxi understood what he meant, and that bit of anger dissipated, and sighed: "Senior brother, first, the current situation of Sister Yu is okay, Senior Ouyang and Mr. Qinghua don't know about this matter yet, and it is not the worst situation that Lord Zhai said. Second, whether it is Yumei's matter or other major matters, it is not your responsibility alone, I think no one in our group of friends will stand idly by and watch this, you must not put these burdens on your heart, and you will not be blinded by the Dao heart. ”

Shen Yuanxi saw that after Shao Heng heard his words, he still looked reluctant, and immediately stood up, and at the same time pulled up Shao Heng, who was drinking by himself.

"Senior brother, come with me. Shen Yuanxi took Shao Heng into a streamer without saying a word and disappeared into the pine forest guest house.

After a gust of wind, Shao Heng opened his eyes, only to see himself standing high above the clouds, and below him was an unknown town.

It was evening, and the town lit up one by one with sparks.

The smoke curled up, and the surrounding fields were covered with snow, and there was no one around. Only a few people have returned from the market, and they are braving the wind and snow to go home.

"Senior brother, what does this mean?" Shao Heng couldn't understand why Shen Yuanxi suddenly brought him here to observe mortal beings.

"Look, that house. Shen Yuanxi pointed casually and pointed to a dark room.

If Shao Heng hadn't heard the faint breathing, he would have almost thought it was an abandoned empty house.

Inside lay a dying old man.

The thin body was buried under the filthy quilt that was not warm, and from time to time he coughed heartbreakingly, as if he would die at any moment.

Such an old man, who is struggling in the icy cold night, will feel compassion just by looking at it.

"Senior brother, are you trying to save people?" Shao Heng said after being silent for a moment.

In Shao Heng's view, this person does not have an incurable terminal disease, but it is caused by years of hard work and hunger and cold, and even the actual age may be just past the age of knowing the destiny of heaven.

Whether it is Shen Yuanxi or Shao Heng, take a mild low-grade pill in his hand and give it to that person, so that he can dispel illness and drive away cold, and restore his body.

To save a life, but raise your hand.

Shao Heng's heart was sad again: "How good would it be if Yu'er's injury was so easy?"

At this time, he was no longer the helpless young man in the past, and under his planning, even several Yuanying monks could be killed in his hands, which was already different from the beginning. However, this time he was helpless about Xiao Yu's injuries and could only rely on others to save him.

And even though her injuries were healed, her little longevity left made Shao Heng feel more and more powerless.

If there is a longevity pill, he is willing to go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, but if the herb is too rebellious or the pill is ineffective...... As soon as he thought that there might be no more Xiao Yu in the world in the future, that panic immediately turned into a huge monster and wanted to swallow him whole.

"To save or not to save, but you and I have a thought. Shen Yuanxi didn't seem to notice Shao Heng's fluctuating mood, and said to himself, even with a slightly indifferent tone: "A bowl of hot food and a warm quilt can even save this person's life." But the cold winter is coming, the cold is still long, even if we can save him for a while, we will not be able to save him for a lifetime. Even if he can save him at this time, he can't save the thousands of people in this world who are struggling to survive in the harsh winter. ”

Shao Heng heard him say indifferent and serious, his eyes gradually refocused, but he didn't understand why Shen Yuanxi was saying this at this moment.

"Senior brother, you and I are cultivators, it seems that the heavens and the earth are turning over the clouds and rain, but we can crisscross the east, west, north and south, and be at ease. But in the final analysis, it is only hundreds of years longer than these mortals struggling in the red dust. Even if you enter Yuanying, it will only add another 600 years of spring and autumn. Birth, old age, sickness and death, the normalcy of this world is also ...... Even our head master and ancestor can't escape the end of his life, and he has to close into death. Shen Yuanxi let out a long breath of turbidity, and said with a bit of amazement: "The head of the sect ancestor, it is said that he is closed to death, but everyone knows that he will not come out again." The retreat is just a little hope left for Cunwei. ”

Shao Heng's mood became heavier and heavier when he heard this, and he said quite bitterly: "Senior brother, it's rare to hear you have such pessimistic words......

"This is by no means pessimistic!" Shen Yuanxi said categorically, pointing to the dying man in the dilapidated house, looking directly at Shao Heng and said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal state of the world, and the principle of the reincarnation of all things, so how is Sister Yu different from this person?

Shao Heng was shocked by these words, especially the word "death" was extremely harsh and shocking, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Senior brother, how can this be the same?"

"What's the difference? They are all human beings, but one person is a plain life, and the other person is your beloved couple. Shen Yuanxi said word by word.

Shao Heng looked at Shen Yuanxi in a daze, speechless.

"Life and death are fate, this Yu Mei can see more clearly than you. Shen Yuanxi's tone was slightly gentle: "The path of cultivation has great benefits and big risks. If you can withstand the strength and longevity far beyond mortals, you should be able to bear the same hardships and hardships. Senior brother, I know that you were just unstable when you suddenly learned the news, but I hope you will be open-minded for my brother. In the future, you and my brothers still need to work together, and our generation occupies the beautiful place of Zhong Lingyu to practice, and naturally we should also resist the possible catastrophe for the thousands of vast beings in my Shenzhou. If...... If the seal finally dissipates and the war begins, I don't know how many fellow Daoists will be buried in the Lianyun Mountain Range. It could be Beidou, it could be Chengtai, it could be me, it could be you, or even Jiang Shi, the apprentice of his brother...... Probably anyone you know!"

Shao Heng only knew at this time that the young man from Yunxi Village had become the apprentice of his senior brother, but at this time, Shen Yuanxi's enlightenment and teachings like a teacher made him ignore this time for the time being. For the first time, like Shen Yuanxi, he thought about the possibilities in his words.

If there is a real war in the future, will he be able to save the lives of all his relatives and friends?

For a while, Shao Heng's whole body was agitated, and he couldn't help but say, "Senior brother!"

Shen Yuanxi saw that his eyes had returned to clarity, but he still interrupted him and said, "Sister Yu not only has you, but also my brother, and many relatives and friends to help. We should do our best to help and save the people, but the junior brother ...... You should no longer be as depressed as before, or even shake your Dao heart. Although birth, old age, sickness and death are eternal truths, no matter how long you live, as long as you look up to the world all your life, what is there to fear?"

Speaking of this, Shen Yuanxi patted Shao Heng's shoulder, and finally said: "You and I are brothers, I am a few years older than you, but now my cultivation is comparable." In today's world, I have the cheekiness to say that only you and I are the only ones for the time being. If the dispute between the East and the West can be resolved, I believe that Senior Brother, you will never stop at this realm in the future, and perhaps it may even be unspeakable. Being a brother is not to persuade you to abandon your love and forget your love, but you should not blindly be depressed and sad, or be blinded by this, or even let this love breed demons, so that your cultivation will be wasted or let it be silent. This is definitely not what Yumei wants to see. ”

Shao Heng's heart rolled like a huge wave, and finally gradually subsided.

Today, the demonic obstacles born of sudden joy and sorrow are like being blown away by the breeze, and the state of mind has regained clarity.

He suddenly looked up at the night sky after the snow stopped, and the hesitation was gone.
