Xu Daoyun took the gourd and turned it upside down, thinking that it was quite good-looking.

Feng Yusheng said with a smile: "The inner wall of this gourd is cast with cold glass, which can keep the wine cool and not deteriorate, and the cold glass can not only be used for sealing, but also condensed by medicinal materials, which is not only cool and refreshing, but also has the effect of strengthening the body, which is a very good baby." ”

Mrs. Shi smiled: "Not only that, but this gourd also has a lot of wine inside, which can hold two large vats of wine." For wine lovers, it is simply priceless. ”

"This..."Xu Daoyun was dumbfounded, he didn't expect such an inconspicuous wine gourd to have so many doorways. He thought it was just an ordinary gourd, but he didn't expect it to be a treasure, so he hurriedly handed the gourd to Mrs. Shi: "No, the younger generation hasn't done anything, how dare you accept such a big gift, please take it back." ”

Master Yuanzhi pushed his hand back and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, the poor nun is a monk, he can't drink wine, and the gourd is useless for me, so giving it to you can be regarded as making the best use of it." ”

Feng Yusheng also said: "This is a piece of Shitai's heart, take it." ”

"That's... The younger generation was cheeky and accepted it. It was false to say that he was unhappy, Xu Daoyun couldn't help but laugh the moment he put away the gourd, but when he saw a few people with strange eyes, he quickly held back again.

Xiao Che on the side was very dissatisfied when he saw his appearance, crossed his waist and pouted, and snorted.

Xu Daoyun hung the gourd on the buckle of his belt with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Well, return with a full load, Miss Zheng, let's go?"

"Good. Zheng Yun nodded, saluted Feng Yusheng and Yuanzhi Shitai, and said goodbye: "Wind Valley Lord, Yuanzhi Shitai, Zheng Yun has taken his leave." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Amitabha, the two donors walk slowly. ”

Xu Daoyun also bowed to them, and then followed Xiao Che towards the outside of the Wind Chime Valley.

When he arrived at the shore, Xiao Che pinched the trick and chanted a spell to summon the green leaves, and said, "Okay, you guys go up." ”

Zheng Yun went up first, and Xu Daoyun said softly when he passed by Xiao Ling's side: "I'm leaving." Then he jumped on the green leaf and waved goodbye.

"Uh..." Xiao Che froze in place, and she didn't come back to her senses until the young man's voice came, and hurriedly said, "Oh... Oh..."

She pinched the mantra again, and the green leaves docked on the shore slowly drifted away from the island.

Xu Daoyun stood on the green leaves, wanting to see if this gourd really had such a miraculous effect as the Wind Valley Lord said. He took out a bag of peach blossom brew given by the valley owner and poured it into the mouth of the gourd, accidentally spilled it out, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Oops, it's spilled!"

Zheng Yun smiled: "You really love wine." ”

"Hehe, they were all taught bad by my master, but wine is indeed a good thing, and the unique peach blossom brew of Wind Chime Valley is even more rare, it's a pity. Xu Daoyun replied in his mouth, pouring wine in his hand carefully, for fear of leaking a drop.

"A pity? Do you pity the few drops of wine you just spilled, or do you pity something else?"

Xu Daoyun said with a smile: "It's a pity for those few drops of wine, and it's a pity for something else." ”

Zheng Yun asked, "What?"

"It's a pity that I won't have a chance to drink this peach blossom brew in the future, isn't it a pity? Xu Daoyun cherished: "So, these five bags of peach blossom brew are really one sip less." ”

"The world is big, where is there no good wine?" Zheng Yun said: "You are young, a good man travels the world, and there will be an opportunity to taste fine wine, why sigh at this time, full of pity." ”

Xu Daoyun said with a smile: "Although Miss Zheng is a woman, her ideas are extremely thorough, which makes me a little ashamed. ”

Zheng Yun just smiled and didn't speak again, her eyes staring in the direction she was going, looking forward to it.

After a while, the green leaves came to the shore, Xu Daoyun took Zheng Yun to a village not far away, when he and Xiao Che came back, they put the horses in his house to feed, here is still half a day away from Quanhai Town, Zheng Yun is injured, and the horses are needed to travel.

"Uncle. Xu Daoyun shouted outside the fence.

"Oops, here we go. The old man's response came from inside, and the bamboo door of the fence wall opened, and it was the hunchbacked old man, who smiled and said, "It turned out to be you, Gongzi, but you came to fetch the horse?"

"Exactly. Xu Daoyun smiled and nodded.

"Well, come with me, I did as you said, and I didn't treat them badly at all. The old man led the two to the back cowshed, and saw two tall horses grazing. One red and one black, I have been cultivating for more than a day, and I really have a lot of spirits, and I am very handsome.

Xu Daoyun led the two horses out, handed the reins of the shorter red horse to Zheng Yun, and then turned over on the horse.

The old man stood below, and because he was hunched over, he looked up and laughed very hard. Xu Daoyun could see clearly that he was already very old, his face was wrinkled, his hair was gray, and there were only some vegetables and fruits planted inside and outside the fence that were enough for him to satisfy his hunger. It's pitiful that he is so old, that he has no children or grandchildren to raise him, and that he lives alone in this fence.

Xu Daoyun couldn't bear it, got off the horse in Zheng Yun's puzzled eyes, came to the old man to hold up his palm, took out two bags of silver from the Qiankun bag and gave it to him, and said with a smile: "Old man, this money is for you." ”

"Ah, this—" The old man was frightened by the two large bags of silver, he had never seen so much money in his life.

Xu Daoyun held his calloused palm and said with concern: "Old man, you remember, wealth is not exposed, and you must not expose this money in front of others." When you go to the bazaar to buy something, you only bring one ingot to the bank and exchange it for broken silver, so that people don't worry about it. ”

The old man was obviously panicked, and pushed the money ticket in his hand back to Xu Daoyun: "No, no, no, I can't take your money, these..."

Xu Daoyun interrupted with a smile: "It's okay, this is what I gave you, you can live a good life with it, and you will be free from daily fatigue." As the saying goes, life is too short to have fun in time. ”

After speaking, he turned over and smiled at the old man: "Old man, goodbye to the rivers and lakes." ”

Flick the reins and go away.

The forest trail is quiet and rarely frequented. The two horses turned out of the forest to the south and headed north.

Zheng Yun chatted about what happened just now: "That old man is kind to you?"

"No, I don't. Xu Daoyun shook his head.

Zheng Yun asked again: "Then are you close to him, or are you familiar with him?"

"Not really. Xu Daoyun still shook his head.

Zheng Yun was puzzled: "Then why did you give him a lot of money, I'm afraid he has more than two hundred taels of silver." ”

Xu Daoyun opened the gourd and drank a sip of wine, the entrance was mellow and fragrant, the shade was appropriate, and his mouth was fragrant, "I saw that he was still alone in his old age, and he had no children and grandchildren to support, so it was really pitiful." It's just that such a large age can't enjoy the old age, and you can only barely fill your stomach by working hard to earn a few dollars. ”

He took another sip and continued: "Look at the clothes he wears, how many patches have been made? Don't look at him looking energetic, but in fact, how much better can his body be if he eats coarse tea and light food every day? If he continues to work like this, it won't take him a few years, and he will have to fall on the couch and die of a violent illness. ”

"So you're pitiful to him?"

Xu Daoyun nodded: "Yes, isn't such a person worthy of pity?" He laughed at himself and said, "I know, poor people, there are all over the world." With the power of my blow, I can't change anything, but I will not stand idly by and watch what I see in front of me and can help. If everyone doesn't do it because of small kindness, then isn't the world too indifferent?"

Zheng Yun looked at this young man who liked to drink in surprise, and muttered: "Whatever you see in front of you and can help, you will never stand idly by." ”

She suddenly smiled and said, "Heh... I should have known that you were such a person, if not, I am afraid that you would not have risked the risk to chase me out of the Red Huan Inn and rescue me from the killer that day. It's just..."

"What?" Xu Daoyun turned his head to look at her.

Zheng Yun asked: "Even if you see something in front of you, once you intervene, you will get into trouble, or even kill yourself, will you take action?"

Xu Daoyun thought about it seriously and gave an ambiguous answer: "If what is happening in front of me is too unconscionable, I may take the risk to stop it." ”

Zheng Yun said with a smile: "It's good to be young, hot-blooded, chivalrous, help when you are weak, and fight when you are strong." The latter words seemed to be for myself: "At that time, Brother Wen Xing and I didn't want to travel the world, hoe the strong and help the weak, and be a pair of immortal couples who envy others and enjoy the world, hey..."

Xu Daoyun heard her words clearly, and said with a smile: "Haha, why sigh, this time you can stay until the end of the day." At that time, it will not be too late to wander the rivers and lakes again. ”

Zheng Yunqi said: "Your ear power is so good?"

"It's okay. Xu Daoyun squinted and smiled, like a spring breeze.

Zheng Yun looked at the town that appeared in the distance, and her gaze seemed to travel through time and space, falling on the man she had been thinking about for a long time.

Xu Daoyun asked the shopkeeper behind the shopkeeper's desk: "Shopkeeper, can there be a young man in a purple robe and white hair who lives near the store? ”

The fat shopkeeper nodded, pointed to the window room on the second floor with his finger with a gold ring, and said, "The guest lives in that room, and he doesn't go out all day. ”

"Thank you. Xu Daoyun asked again: "There is another woman, wearing a green coat, who came to stay here in the evening two days ago, is she still there?"

The fat shopkeeper said: "That girl, I remember, I left early yesterday morning, and when I left, I said that if someone comes to look for him, tell him to go back to Qingping County directly, this person should be you." ”

"Thank you. Xu Daoyun breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zheng Yun, who was full of expectations and even a little overwhelmed: "He's on top, you go up, I'll go first." ”

"Okay, this time, thanks to Xu Shaoxia, goodbye. Zheng Yun bowed, then slowly stepped up the wooden stairs and walked towards the guest room.

"Whew..."Xu Daoyun let out a sigh of relief, and this matter finally came to an end.

He walked out of the inn and was about to get on the horse and leave, but he heard Zheng Yun's heart-rending cry from the restaurant, "No!"

Xu Daoyun didn't say a word, and directly used the footwork to get up from the ground, hit the window and jump into the attic.

I saw that the house was in a mess, the teapot and bowl were shattered, and there were water stains everywhere. Zheng Yun was kneeling down in front of a person tied to a chair and crying, Xu Daoyun carefully identified it, and finally recognized this person as Geng Wenxing, a disciple of Xuanyin Valley who had given him the antidote after coming down from Qixian Peak that day.

At this time, he was tightly tied to a chair, his mouth gagged with a white scarf, his robe was tattered, and his flesh was blurred with blood, and he was obviously tortured.

Xu Daoyun squatted beside him and probed his breath, and finally sighed, he had been dead for a long time. And he suffered a great deal of pain before he died, and it can be seen from the wounds on his body what kind of terrible torture he suffered during his lifetime.

Looking more closely, Xu Daoyun felt that his hairs were standing upside down, and his scalp was numb. Seven of Geng Wenxing's ten fingertips were cut off, leaving only the middle finger, index finger, and thumb of his left hand unbroken.

Xu Daoyun couldn't bear to look at it anymore, it was too tragic, he looked at Zheng Yun who was lying on the man and cried until he had no sound, and sighed.

This Geng Wenxing's monk was at least the second rank of the Qi Refining Realm, but he was tortured to death by people unknowingly, so you can imagine how strong the person who killed him was.

The door was opened, and the shopkeeper and a few shopkeepers who rushed up when they heard the movement were all frightened when they saw this scene. The fat on the fat shopkeeper's face was trembling, and he fell on a shopkeeper behind him, and the fat finger pointed inside, and even said neatly: "This... This... How..."

The shopkeeper who was pressed by his more than 200 catties of fat rolled his eyes, and pushed the shopkeeper's big ass with his hands, but he couldn't push it, it was soft, and the fat was squeezed out of his fingers. Fortunately, a few guys next to him pulled him away together, otherwise he would have been crushed to death.

Xu Daoyun sighed again, stood up, and said to the shopkeeper crowded at the door: "Go to the local officials." ”

The guy who reacted quickly immediately agreed, and "kicked and pedaled" downstairs.

Xu Daoyun really sympathized with Zheng Yun, but just now she was thinking about joining hands with her lover to be a pair of fairy couples. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, yin and yang were separated, and they didn't see the last side until they died, which was really a trick of creation.

......

Half a day later, outside Quanhai Town.

Xu Daoyun said to Yang Xuan: "Master Yang, I'm really embarrassed, and I'm bothering you to make trouble." ”

Yang Xuan waved his hand and smiled: "Xu Shaoxia is polite, it's just a gesture, why worry about it." ”

This time, thanks to Yang Xuan's money, he hired the big men in the town to bring dry firewood and weeds, and prepared to incinerate Geng Wenxing.

The big men carried Geng Wenxing, who had washed Zheng Yun with his own hands and put on a new dress, to the firewood, and then looked at Zheng Yun, as long as she gave an order, they would immediately light the fire.

Zheng Yun knelt down under Geng Wenxing, hung his head, didn't say a word, and didn't move.

Since leaving Honghuan Restaurant, she has been in this state, and her disheartened appearance is really distressing.

After a long time, the sun was gradually setting in the western mountains, and the sky was dark, Xu Daoyun walked to her with a torch and squatted down, and called softly: "Miss Zheng..."
