"I understand, don't worry, I'm not going to do that." Sun Hui understood what Ye Chuchu meant, "I'm nothing, I'm just worried that they will be deceived......"

"When you went to the living room to pick him up, I explained to Tian Tian Linlin, and they understood what to do." Ye Chuchu smiled again, "Don't underestimate Tian Tian and Linlin, have you forgotten that before the two of us found them, the two of them were mixed in the Western Xia court and the other in the Western Liao royal court, how did they come over at that time?" ”

"Yes." Sun Hui remembered their previous experience and said with a smile, "It's really confusing, I forgot about it." ”

"You better think more about how to deal with Kublai Khan." Ye Chuchu said with a smile.

Zhu Guojin, who returned to his residence, found that his mind could not be calm for a long time.

He didn't expect that the legend would be true.

This man and woman are exactly the same as the portrait that the master showed him!

Could it be that the future is really written in the past?

Zhu Guojin looked at the copper kettle dripping and found that it was still early to agree with the two immortals to go on the road, so he hurriedly went to the dark room where no one was allowed to enter except him.

Withered fingers lifted the chips from the table. The skin of this hand is fleckled with black dead skin, which vividly records the life of its owner.

Zhu Guojin, who was on the side, quietly watched him fiddle with the calculations, until it was over, and then asked cautiously: "Teacher...... Are they really immortals? Is there something wrong? ”

He had already retold everything he saw when he went to see Sun Hui today to the teacher in its original form.

The teacher dried his hands and sighed, "Let's go out first." ”

The two of them left the dark room one after the other and returned to the study where the candlelight flickered. Zhu Guojin waited patiently for the teacher to sit down, and then asked the same question again.

"Yes. Some things are changing, not quite the same as what I used to calculate, but they are in line with the prophecy left by Zhang Tianshi. The teacher sighed.

"Since there has been a change, it should be different from the prophecy." Zhu Guojin couldn't understand the teacher's words.

The teacher opened the rattan box by the seat, took out a black pottery wine bottle, slowly poured himself a glass of wine, and then changed the subject: "Can you guess what kind of wine this is?" ”

Zhu Guojin gently sniffed the fragrance that quickly emanated into the air, and couldn't help but stretch the corners of his eyebrows.

"This scent...... Ah, very powerful. Sweet fruity notes...... It is a plum with a sour taste with tension. There are also red apricots and blackberries. It's a plum wine, mixed with some other fruits. ”

The teacher nodded, "You can drink some too." Let's talk about the feeling. ”

Zhu Guojin respectfully took the wine bottle, filled the cup in front of him until it was half full, and then took a sip with his eyes closed.

For a moment, a soft touch ripples on the tip of the tongue.

"Huh...... Teacher...... It's a very good wine. I'm like...... It's like I'm back in Tokyo......"

He took the wine under his tongue and breathed in the scent of the purple liquor.

"Yes...... Tokyo Dream ...... As written in the book, the theater outside the city is built outdoors. On a gentle hillside, bordered by large plum and apricot groves. When the performer sings that gorgeous high note, the evening breeze in the mountains blows the flowers in the forest down......"

The teacher nodded approvingly: "Well, you have followed me for all these years, not only for learning, but also for a very high understanding of my wine." ”

He rubbed the rough appearance of the sake bottle: "This is exactly the plum wine that was made in Tokyo back then." Just like the fertile soil that is unique to the region, the fruit is also unrivalled in its rich color and rich taste. It was a year of abundant sunshine throughout the year, and it was a year that produced mouth-watering, delicious fruits. And the wine made from the fruit of this vintage, through the hands of the master brewer, naturally has the splendor you call it, just like the deep singing voice that echoes in the falling flowers......"

The teacher stared at the wine glass, and his eyes became sad: "However, such a fine wine can only exist for three years. Things in the world are changing all the time. It is only three years since the wine matured in the first year, to the full bloom of color and aroma in the first year, and then to the gradual decay of over-ripening in the future. ”

Zhu Guojin seemed to vaguely begin to understand what the teacher meant. He didn't dare to disturb the teacher's words, but just listened quietly.

"The ripening of the fruit to the point of decay is only a matter of season. The sweetness is concentrated in the sake by the hands of the winemaker, and it is extended to three years. But three years is just a short time in our lives. Similarly, we will eventually grow old and die, but this period of time is only a snap of a finger in the long river of history. ”

The teacher gently turned the wine glass and took another sip of wine: "What about this world?" ”

Zhu Guojin was shocked and said, "Teacher...... What do you mean...... Is it ......?"

"I've watched those moving operas many times. Gorgeous trebles always appear at the climax of the opera, but it also heralds the end of the opera. Just like this plum wine, when its color and aroma are fully blooming, it is not far from overripening. ”

The teacher sniffed the aroma of plum wine and sighed, "Just like this Great Song Dynasty ......"

Zhu Guojin looked at Master Gu's face in astonishment, as if he wanted to see the true meaning of these words from the master's serious and melancholy expression.

"Teacher, have you calculated that this war will not end soon? Does this mean that another troubled time is coming? ”

"Troubled times?" The teacher smiled sarcastically, "It's not a troubled time, it's a prosperous time." ”

He pointed to the bookshelves in the study that occupied the entire eight walls, as well as the stacks of star charts on the shelves, and said: "Actually, whether it is a troubled era or a prosperous era, it is recorded in history. Just as the annual wildfires in the mountains burn away decaying trees and leave fertile soil behind, troubled times are just a link in the great cycle of history, an inevitable link. ”

"You don't have to worry about the war in front of you, it will end soon, and then there will be at least fifty years of prosperity." The teacher said, "But everything has a beginning and an end, and there is nothing in the world that exists forever, even in the world itself." Listen, what I'm going to tell you next is a big secret, a prophecy, that has a lot to do with you and those five people. ”

"I have calculated many times, in the future, in the world of the Great Song Dynasty, it should be your Zhu family who will sit." The teacher's shocking words made Zhu Guojin's breathing suddenly shorten.

The teacher said...... But is it really? Zhu Guojin asked in a trembling voice.

"What, you don't believe it?" The teacher looked at Zhu Guojin, who was out of shape, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.
