Yu Jiuling keenly heard something extraordinary from the words of the Changmei Daoist, and in the smile of the Changmei Daoist, he saw a faint sadness.

This sadness is faint not because the grief is not heavy enough, but because it has been long enough.

It's not that because of the passage of time, the sadness fades, but because the sadness has been for a long time, it is always better to hide and have adapted.

Li Qi knew something, but he never took the initiative to ask Master, because he had felt Master's pain that night.

One night, the master suddenly woke up from his sleep, ahhh

At that time, Li Qi was four years old.

Maybe it was because Master felt that the four-year-old child didn't understand anything, so he chatted with Li Qi that day, or maybe it was because Master really didn't have anyone else to talk to.

Master said that if he had been brave enough, he might have lived a very ordinary and poor life, but he might not have been happy.

Later, the master also said that fortunately, he only had such a dream three times in 30 years, and he still thought it was good if he dreamed once in 10 years.

Yu Jiuling asked, and the long-eyebrow Taoist smiled and said nothing.

He couldn't muster up the courage to stop it, so he could only watch her put on her wedding dress, he stood by the river and shouted to vent, and a passing Taoist saw him like this, shook his head and said, "Look, another one is dead." ”

Later, Changmei followed the man, because he felt that this man was so free.

Later, I learned that the Taoist was not free and easy, and it was very heavy, because the Taoist came down the mountain to save people, but he saved one, but he couldn't save thousands of them.

The young long-eyebrow Taoist asked his master, "Master, why are you a Taoist?" ”

Master said, "If the heart is dead, the person is not dead, and the person is not dead, it is merit to do something for the person whose heart is not dead." ”

The long-eyed Taoist asked again, "Master, why are you asking for merit?" ”

Master said, "Have a good birth in your next life." ”

Master also said, "Men, more than half of them died when they were about 20 years old, and what they are alive is firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, so they are still human. ”

The long-eyebrow Taoist asked, "What about the other half?" ”

Master said, "The other half, half human and half ghost." ”

Later, his master died, and he didn't think of a Taoist name for Changmei before he died, because he felt that a young man like Changmei Taoist did not deserve a Taoist name in his life, and people who died in their hearts did not cultivate the attitude of being born, how could they be equipped with a Taoist number.

The master of the Changmei Taoist is called Changmei, so after the Changmei Taoist buried the master, he picked up the master's hexagram flag, put on the master's robe, and walked in the world with another long eyebrow.

Later, the Changmei Daoist realized that the master said that he was not worthy of the Dao number because the Master's Dao number was also fake, just because the Master's eyebrows were a little long.

A master who feels that he is not worthy of the Tao number also feels that he is not worthy of giving the disciple the Tao number, and he also says that the disciple is not worthy of the Tao number.

I think and say that I am right.

The eyebrows of the long-eyebrow Taoist are not long at all, but he is the long-eyebrow Taoist.

Later, the older Changmei Daoist finally understood that the master named himself Changmei Daoren, not just because of his long eyebrows.

People with normal eyebrows, if they don't look in the mirror, they can't see their eyebrows, and people with long eyebrows are different, and they can see it when they raise their eyes...... Look up at people and do things with your head down.

Yu Jiuling's words did not ask about the past of the Changmei Daoist, but he asked the Changmei Daoist full of heart.

The old Taoist closed his eyes, and two people's faces appeared in his mind, the little girl with tiger teeth, and the master who screamed sadly before closing his eyes.

The old man closed his eyes and shouted before closing his eyes: "Taiyi is supreme to help the suffering, but the heavens and the earth are hindered by the world." ”

The little girl said, "If you dare to take me away, I will dare to let go of everything." ”

He didn't dare.

He is just a cowherd baby, a small long-term worker in a rich family, she is the eldest lady in that family, and she shouldn't taste the suffering of the world because of a sentence I will take you away.

The Taoist of Changmei didn't let it go, because he didn't practice Zen Buddhism.

The Changmei Daoist did not regret it, because he cultivated the Tao of the world.

He didn't move himself, he felt great, he just felt that he shouldn't be so selfish.

But what is selflessness?

Selflessness is holy.

So Changmei now has a little apprentice named Li Qi, who is a teenager and can already see the world.

Li Qi had been looking sideways at the master, he was actually afraid of what the master would say.

To be able to say it is to let go, what does the master have to let go of at this age, it's not worth it, at this age, the life of a person will finally taste a let go, and what is good is called relief, and what is bad is called tasteless.

How much relieved is self-deception.

In this way, when it was almost dawn, Li Qi woke up Yu Jiuling, who was asleep, Yu Jiuling turned over and sat up, thinking of his task, so he decided to be mentally mental, and the way he chose to refresh himself was really refreshing.

He picked his feet, then put his fingers in front of his nose and sniffed them.

A spirit.

"I'm going to toss and toss."

Yu Jiuling put on his clothes and went out, opened the door of the official post after a few moves, and shouted when he went out, and then shouted Come and help......

The catchers who had been guarding outside the official post for almost a night were all startled, and they all ran to Yu Jiuling's side and asked him what was wrong.

Yu Jiuling said that his feet are broken, people's thin skin and tender flesh hurt so much, come and carry me.

A small half of them almost died of nausea on the spot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Shanshen's family of three ran into the carriage, and Li Qi was afraid that they would catch a cold, so he stuffed two quilts into it.

The next thing is to stay up, and after staying up until dawn, it's time to sing the play of the Changmei Daoren, saying that the environment here is too bad, he hasn't lived in such a house a few times in most of his life, and he can't stand it anymore, and he complains about Li Qi, and Li Qi apologizes to the master vigorously, saying that he is incompetent.

Fuzhi Cui Hansheng has already explained that their affairs are a big thing, and they must report any disturbances immediately, and the people in the official post did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran to the house of the Fuzhi Lord to report.

Cui Hansheng arrived in person before half an hour, and he apologized to Changmei Daoren, saying that it was a crime to entertain poorly, and then Li Qi naturally said that he could find a place to live temporarily, because he had to wait for General Xiahou and Liu Wenju to come back together, so he couldn't go back to Jizhou.

As soon as Cui Hansheng heard that General Xiahou had come to Xinzhou, his eyes lit up.

Li Qi said: "My lord also knows, how can the prince bear to let General Xiahou spend the New Year in Daizhou, but he can't go to Daizhou, because it is too close to the battlefield, and it is known that it is not good for General Xiahou to break away from the battle, so what the prince means is that he wants General Xiahou to come to Xinzhou for the New Year, and the prince may also come." ”

For Choi Hansheng, this happiness came too suddenly.

He immediately decided to clean up a courtyard in Xinzhou City, and he had so many properties in Xinzhou City that he didn't know how many there were.

Everything went well, and they moved into the compound, but they politely refused Cui Hansheng's kindness to send his subordinates over, saying that they were not used to getting along with strangers, and of course Cui Hansheng did not dare to force it.

After Li Qi and they settled down, it was time for Yu Jiuling to set off, and he and Liu Wenju's convoy went to Daizhou Pass together, which made Cui Hansheng even more undoubted.

In the carriage, Liu Wenju's attitude towards Yu Jiuling can be described as extremely flattering.

Liu Wenju felt that although this young man might not have a high status in the palace, at this stage, as long as he was a person in the palace, he had to stammer

。

Along the way, Yu Jiuling can be ruined, a big bad guy like Liu Wenju has a sense of accomplishment for him to slap his beard, the most important thing is that people are really good at slapping horses, all kinds of rainbow farts come when they open their mouths, and there is no sense of disobedience, and the person who shoots is comfortable.

Yu Jiuling was like a cat master along the way, with a cold face, but he enjoyed the cat slave Liu Wenju tickling his hair.

After walking for a few days, he arrived at Daizhou Pass, and as soon as Yu Jiuling entered the city, he found that something was not right, this small border pass city was full of wounded soldiers, which could only mean that the house was no longer enough, and there were so many wounded soldiers that they would be treated outdoors.

They were wounded, and they were going to freeze.

Their convoy walked forward, and the convoy pulling the corpse walked out, the two convoys staggered, and the people who pulled the corpse looked at Yu Jiuling and them blankly, with no expression on their faces, they would be happy when they saw someone coming, but now they are only numb.

Hearing that Yu Jiuling was coming, Xiahou Zhuo came down from the city wall, Yu Jiuling was startled when he saw Xiahou Zhuo, he hadn't seen him for a few days, and Xiahou Zhuo seemed to have taken off his appearance.

"You haven't slept in days!"

Yu Jiuling asked eagerly.

Xiahou Zhuo smiled: "I don't remember." ”

He can still laugh because he is Xiahou Zhuo.

Yu Jiuling pulled Xiahou Zhuo aside and told him in detail about what Li Qi asked him to come, Xiahou Zhuo heard that Li Qi had brought a sum of silver for military salary, and his face did not show the smile that Yu Jiuling thought he would show.

"If only it were food."

Xiahou Zhuo looked at the carriages, there was no disappointment in his eyes, how could he be disappointed in Li Qi, he just had no sorrow or joy.

"The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Black Warriors took turns attacking the city, and they didn't stop for a moment."

Xiahou Zhuo took the dry food that Yu Jiuling hurriedly handed him, and said while stuffing it into his mouth: "There are less than four hundred people who can still fight now. ”

Yu Jiuling said: "What about Prince Wu, hasn't Prince Wu's army arrived?" ”

"I arrived, but I didn't."

Xiahou said: "In Daizhou City, less than a hundred miles. ”

Yu Jiuling said angrily: "He has already arrived in Daizhou, why haven't he come to reinforcements!" ”

Xiahou Zhuo let out a long breath and smiled again, but this smile was full of bitterness.

Prince Wu's tens of thousands of troops have been there for many days, obviously a hundred miles away, and Xiahou Zhuo has also sent people to ask for help for many days, but Prince Wu has not moved.

Xiahou Zhuo pointed to a few people standing not far away, and said in a low voice: "They are the people sent by Prince Wu, and they have been watching coldly since they came, I guess they are waiting." ”

Yu Jiuling asked, "What are you waiting for?" ”

Xiahou Zhuo said: "When those righteous and brave people are almost dead, so that there is no need for him to do it, and there is no need to carry a name, the people who came from the rebel team from several ways are afraid of being killed and have already left, but in the eyes of Prince Wu, those righteous and brave are also rebels." ”

At this moment, there were bursts of cheers from outside the city, the cheers of the numb people.

Xiahou Zhuo looked at the city gate, and a group of Zuo Wuwei troops with bright clothes and armor drove in neatly, they looked so mighty and majestic.

The reinforcements finally arrived, but Xiahou Zhuo was still like that, looking not sad or happy.

The reinforcements arrived because now all that is left on the city wall is Xiahou Zhuo's army, not Xiahou Zhuo's people who refuse to fight with their lives, just because their military literacy is higher.

Xiahou Zhuo let out a long breath, sat down against the city wall, stuffed another mouthful of dry food into his mouth, chewed and chewed, and cried.

He should have been surnamed Yang, and he always said that he was very disappointed in this Da Chu, but in fact he still had illusions.

But today, when reinforcements arrived, his last illusion was shattered.

Yu Jiuling looked at Xiahou Zhuo eating while crying, and wanted to kill someone.
