Chapter 223: Comprehension
The huge cave has only two futons, a table, and other than that, everything seems deserted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
And, of course, alcohol.
Mu Chen was holding a wine glass, but he didn't take a breath.
The old man glanced at him and said, "Young man, I used to be like you, always doubting this and that, but there is one thing I will not doubt."
Mu Chen said, "What?"
The old man smiled and said, "That is, if someone invites me to drink, even if it is my enemy, I will drink this wine"
After saying that, he craned his neck and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
Mu Chen didn't hesitate and drank it too.
Drinks are sometimes like nectar and can be refreshing.
The old man smiled with satisfaction.
He said to Mu Chen, "Young man, don't always think that someone wants to harm you, if you come to me, no one will harm you."
Mu Chen smiled bitterly, "Thank you senior, but my friend is still on it, can the senior let me out"
The old man said, "I can't imagine that you still care so much about your friends, don't worry, I have already left a mark for him when I took you down, if he wakes up, he will definitely wait for you."
Mu Chen looked up, only to see the pitch-black roof of the cave.
His head was lowered and his eyes were hollow again, it was a good moment of leisure, but his heart was like being eroded by ten thousand ants, and he didn't know what was wrong with him.
The old man looked at Mu Chen and said, "Young man, I see that you have profound internal strength, but your expression is so trance, isn't there something unspeakable?"
Mu Chen took a sip of wine and said with a wry smile, "If I knew where my unspeakable secrets were, my expression would not be so trance-like."
The old man suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "Young man, young man, I see that you attach so much importance to your friend, presumably he is a very important person for you."
Mu Chen said, "It's not the most important, but I'm ashamed of him"
The old man laughed and said, "Oh, is he your friend?"
Mu Chen suddenly stopped talking.
The old man continued, "If you are only here to repay a favor or to compensate others, then how can you be considered friends?"
Mu Chen fell into deep thought, he really has nothing to do with Zhang Qingge, Zhang Qingge because he lost his wife and child, and when he was attacked, he took him thousands of miles to find Jincaiyu for treatment, and after being plotted by Liu Shangxie, Zhang Qingge saved himself, he naturally felt sorry for Zhang Qingge in his heart, but did he regard Zhang Qingge as a friend? Or just as a benefactor?
The old man said, "If two people want to be friends, then they should help each other, and if you can do it together, then you can be considered friends."
Mu Chen smiled bitterly, "Shouldn't you also be blessed and shared?"
The old man shook his head and said, "There are blessings and different enjoyments, and there are difficulties to be shared."
Mu Chendao: "Don't enjoy it?"
The old man said, "Yes, if there is a benefit, you want to divide it equally, what is the difference between it and being a thief and selling stolen goods?"
Mu Chen said, "What do you think of the seniors?"
The old man said, "I think that when it is good to be a friend, you must think about being humble to each other, rather than always looking forward to your own share."
Mu Chen smiled, "This view of the predecessors is really wonderful, it has benefited me a lot, come, I will toast you"
With that, he raised his glass and drank it.
Mu Chen asked again, "Then it's always right for me to help my friends."
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Then it depends on what your reason is, whether you repay the favor or really want to help him."
Mu Chen smiled and said, "What if each has one?"
The old man said, "Then your friend is indeed very lucky."
Mu Chen said, "Lucky?"
The old man said, "After all, it's hard to make friends like you."
Mu Chen said: "Does the senior think my idea is right?"
The old man said, "Yes or no, I want to ask your friend, how can I answer you"
Mu Chen smiled and took another sip of wine.
The old man said, "Young man, I think you are a very emotional person, and your relatives and siblings must be very happy."
Mu Chen's smile disappeared, and he whispered, "Maybe, the most I have caused them is trouble"
The old man said, "But you're also trying to solve these troubles, aren't you? At least you didn't choose to run away after causing trouble."
Mu Chen said, "I escaped once before, I escaped for three years, but nothing has changed after all"
The old man smiled and said, "Believe me, young man, you are indeed not fit to be a prodigal son"
Mu Chen said, "Prodigal son, but I have to do it"
The old man said, "You really should live that kind of peaceful life, because I can see that you are eager for family and friendship, and you have been wandering on the rivers and lakes for a long time, either you will die in a foreign country, or you will be like the old man and me, alone, and you will die alone in the future."
Mu Chen's eyes flowed, as if he was a little excited and a little afraid.
Mu Chen said: "But no one can predict everything in the future, right?"
The old man said, "Things are man-made, success or failure is in the sky"
Mu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Things are man-made, success or failure is in heaven?"
The old man said, "If you come in order, then there will be no conflict."
Mu Chen pondered, "What the predecessor means is that I want to work hard, but whether I can succeed depends on the will of God."
The old man nodded, and said, "At least you worked hard."
Mu Chen said, "At least I've worked hard, at least I've worked hard to fight for ......"
Mu Chen repeated this sentence in a low voice, suddenly laughed, picked up a jar of wine, raised his neck and poured it.
The old man watched him finish the jar of wine and smiled slightly.
Mu Chen finished drinking, looked at the old man, and asked, "Senior surname?"
The old man said, "Why do you need to know my name? You and I are destined to sit down and drink together today, and now that the wine is finished, you and I should disperse."
Mu Chen was about to ask, but suddenly felt dizzy, and fainted without saying a word.
The old man stood up, looked at Mu Chen lying on the table, sighed and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity, such a good child, but he has to suffer so many calamities, and he sighed again."
The old man looked at the wine jar in Mu Chen's hand and said, "When the wine is finished, the people should disperse."
turned around and said in a low voice, "Wine is not drunk with flowers, flowers are intoxicating, wine is also intoxicating, flowers are also intoxicating, and there are idlers in the drunken flower stream"
Repeating these two sentences, he slowly walked into the darkness.
By the time Muchen woke up again, he had already returned to the lake.
Zhang Qingge was looking at him anxiously.
When Mu Chen opened his eyes, the first thing he felt was a fatal headache, and there was no one who didn't have a headache after getting drunk.
Mu Chen said, "Why did I come back?"
Zhang Qingge pointed to the stone wall behind him, Mu Chen turned around and saw the word "wait".
"Could it be that this is the message that the old man left for Zhang Qingge?"
Mu Chen asked again, "Then how did I come back?"
Zhang Qingge pointed to the center of the lake, and there was a small boat in the center of the lake.
Mu Chen said, "It seems that someone sent me back"
He shook his head and began to remember, he was now a little unsure whether what he had been doing under the lake was real, or if he was dreaming.
But seeing the mark of this light song finger and the smell of wine in his mouth, he believed that it was definitely not fake.
He suddenly felt a breath flowing in his dantian, a very gentle but powerful aura.
Like a jar of wine that has been in the cellar for decades, it is rich and mellow, intoxicating and comforting.
Mu Chen suddenly smiled, looked at the turquoise lake, and said, "It's that jar of wine, it seems that the seniors take good care of me."
After that, he actually knelt down and kowtowed respectfully three times.
Zhang Qingge was naturally surprised, he didn't understand why Mu Chen, who never bowed his head, would kneel down to this lake.
Of course he won't understand.
For him, Mu Chen is just a sleep, but for Mu Chen, this sleep not only greatly increased his internal strength, but more importantly, he realized a truth.
Although success or failure is in the sky, things are man-made.
Work hard, at least without regrets.
One day, when people are old and have accidents, and when they look back on their lives, they can tell themselves that at least I tried, even if I didn't succeed, but I don't regret it.
Zhang Qingge didn't know that this sentence was enough to change the lives of many people, including Mu Chen.
Mu Chen stood up and said, "Brother Zhang, let's go"
Zhang Qingge spread his hands, meaning "Where to go next?"
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Go to Jiangyue Tower first, find Qingyu and Yueying, and when I arrange them to the palace, we will go to save your son, I think Lin Hongyue must have another purpose in taking your son away, so he will definitely not attack him, you can rest assured of this."
With that, he turned around, walked to the horse, looked at the words he had mentioned on the stele, and smiled and said, "Thank you."
Turning around and getting on the horse, he said leisurely, "Wine is not drunk with flowers, flowers are intoxicating, wine is also intoxicating, flowers are also intoxicating, and there are idlers in the drunken flower stream"
