It's been a long, long time.

Tao Yi's face is reflected in the bronze mirror, which is still in the flower season. Compared with the past, there are no signs of aging, but more immature and pure.

Tao Yi smiled slightly, but his eyes were as calm as water.

This woman who seems to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but she has an old heart.

"Mr. Lan, you say, why don't I get old?" Tao Yi stroked his face and said softly.

Lan Yuxian stood behind Tao Yi: "You are a lucky person. ”

"I'm most fortunate to have such a good brother."

"Hmm. That's right. You are really lucky to meet a strange person like Tao Yuan. Blue Feather Fairy nodded.

But at this time, Lan Yuxian was the appearance of a young man.

At first, the old man in blue suddenly became like this, and he scared Tao Yi a lot.

Blue Feather Fairy said disdainfully: "What's so strange, what you see is just my illusion, my real body is a blue bird, and everything else is an illusion." ”

Tao Yi nodded thoughtfully: "Your name is Blue Feather Immortal, so are you a demon or an immortal?" ”

Lan Yuxian said: "Is there a difference?" Actually, there is no difference. Everything in the world is cultivating and has a common goal. It is unfair that human beings tend to go back to the starting point and divide the life of cultivation into immortals and monsters, one to praise and the other to trample. ”

"Also, someone like me who has not changed his face for decades will probably be called a monster by the world, right?" Tao Yi said with a smile.

Compared to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion that I first saw, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion was expanded many times.

At this time, the building was full of people, people pushed cups and changed lamps, laughter, and the sound of silk and bamboo was endless.

"You can't make this drunken pavilion look bad." Blue Feather Immortal Dao.

Downstairs, a few women with heavy makeup were pushing and jostling with the guests.

"A restaurant is not like a restaurant, and a brothel is not like a brothel. It's a mess. ”

"But there's a lot of guests, right?" Tao Yiyi, "Since it is open in the world, you should not expect to be out of the dust." Drunken Yongge, if the mediocre people who come don't do vulgar things, how can they be regarded as deserved? ”

Someone drank a few glasses of drunken immortal brew, and his mind was dizzy, so he shouted loudly: "The first beauty of the Drunken Yong Pavilion, where is Miss Tao Yi?" Come down and have a drink with me! ”

People all said: "Half of the people who come to this Drunken Yong Pavilion are brewing for the legendary drunken immortals, and half are for the legendary Tao Yiniang." ”

Drunken immortal brewing is available at any time, but Tao Yiniang is not always there.

In order not to disappoint the guests, someone advised: "Why don't Miss Tao Yi invite a painter to paint a picture for herself and hang it in this drunken pavilion." If someone comes for you, you can also let the guests who come from afar see the honor, and they will not return empty-handed. ”

The guy invited Tang Youxiang, the most famous painter on Jiule Street.

Tang Youxiang came downstairs and saw Tao Yi leaning on the railing, his hair blowing in the wind, and his clothes moving with the wind, like a touch of smart red glow.

Tang Youxiang was a little stunned......

Tao Yi sat on the chair, and Tang Youxiang's slender fingers pinched the barrel of the pen, back and forth on the paper.

Tao Yi admired the painting, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle: "Mr. Tang has painted me a lot more beautifully." ”

Tang Youxiang has first-class painting skills, only to see the beauty on the paper with his eyes flowing and his complexion ruddy, and he is no different from a real person!

"But the beauties in the pen are no match for two or three points of reality, with no form, but no god." Tang Youxiang sighed to himself.

"If it's just a painting, why ask it to have verve?" Tao Yiyi.

"Such a beauty is in front of you, it is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If I paint for you, I won't be able to paint something that satisfies me, and I'm going to die! ”

Tang Youxiang was a little paranoid, he frantically painted for Tao Yi, vowing to paint a masterpiece.

The beauty in the painting is smiling slightly, smiling and smiling, it is really lifelike! But there is always an empty distance, which makes people feel unreal.

"What's the problem?" Tang Youxiang bit the tip of his pen.

One day, Tang Youxiang came to the Zuiyong Pavilion with painting tools on his back.

Tao Yi skillfully sat on the chair: "What new method does Mr. Tang have today?" ”

"Maybe it's because the lines of my face aren't smooth enough, so I brought a thin pen and I can try it." Tang Youxiang was busy preparing the materials and concentrating on sketching.

A slender outline soon appeared on the white paper.

Tang Youxiang sketched carefully, and every strand of hair appeared delicately on the paper, which was really vivid.

But if you sit for a long time, you are not allowed to move. Tao Yi quickly became a little tired.

She sat honestly in her chair, her eyes scanning her surroundings in an attempt to find a hint of fun.

Suddenly, a touch of red on the corner of the street caught her attention.

She looked at a small red fox.

The fur is fiery red, but the four paws and the tip of the tail are pure white. The two eyes are as deep as black gems, flowing with crystal.

The red fox timidly hid in the corner and looked at Tao Yi curiously.

The eyes are facing each other.

Two souls feel each other's kindness through the windows of their hearts.

It seems that everything around him has disappeared, and there is only this one person and one fox left in the world. They make eye contact and feel each other's deepest feelings.

A hint of surprise flashed in Tao Yi's eyes.

Tang Youxiang was shocked in his heart, and seemed to suddenly understand something......

He let go of everything with a little excitement, and first fixed the flash of surprise in Tao Yi's eyes.

This woman is too old.

Although she looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, she had experienced so many things, and her eyes were as calm as water, and it was difficult to have waves.

Although there is a smile in the painting, there is no smile. Therefore, it is not true.

But the little red fox just now, like a pebble thrown into the lake, caused a slight ripple in Tao Yi's heart, causing her soul to revive in an instant......

Tang Youxiang finally painted a satisfactory work.

The portrait hung in the Drunken Pavilion, and everyone who saw it praised it: "The painting is so good, it's exactly the same!" It's almost impossible to move! ”

Tao Yi shook his head slightly: "Mr. Tang, look, you have revised it so many times, and what people see is still like or not...... No one cares if there is a soul resonance or not. ”

"But I know, right? In the future, someone will always know that this is not a portrait, but a part of your soul, the part you often discard...... "Tang Youxiang seems to be much older, and his sideburns are white.

"Mr. Tang's painting skills are superb, why don't you ask every woman in the Zuiyong Pavilion to ask you to paint a picture, how about it?" Tao Yiyi, "The honorarium is easy to say. ”

"No, your portrait is my most satisfying work, and if you paint someone else, you can't reach this level. Among them, there are my reasons, and there are yours. ”

After Tang Youxiang returned home, he declared: "From now on, Tang Youxiang and his disciples, if they draw pictures of beautiful women, they can only be the first beauty in the Drunken Yong Pavilion, and in addition, they will not write for other women." ”

A young man in shabby clothes entered the restaurant.

After two glasses of wine, the young man asked: "Miss Tao Yi is beautiful and charming, why is she lonely and unaccompanied by her so far?" ”

Tao Yi thought for a while: "It's for one person." ”

How can someone who has already seen his brother treat him so well can be tempted by other men?

"What about that person?"

"It's gone from me."

"Hmm." The young man took a sip of wine, "The most helpless thing is that the status in each other's hearts is not equal, he is the sun in your world, and you are a star in his summer night." ”

Tao Yi couldn't laugh or cry: "Little brother, if you don't understand the reason, don't show off your pen and ink." ”

"He's not all I have, and I'm not dispensable to him." Tao Yiyi.

"Huh." The young man smiled, "The world with the sun is not always sunny, and the winter sun is just ...... for heating. The young man drank the wine and seemed to be slurred, and he said "warm" as "egg".

Tao Yi's eyes lit up: "Summer nights aren't always full of stars, right?" ”

"You see, that's the charm of poetry. The poet may not understand the truth, but there is always someone to interpret it for him. Truly poetic, in the reader's place. ”

Tao Yi didn't expect that this unattractive young man turned out to be a poet.

The young man smiled again: "It's not as good as those talented people who are full of ink, I only have two or three words in my belly." The sentence that is chanted is not poetry. ”

"But you understand poetry." Tao Yiyi, "a poet who can't write poetry······"

"It's a poem." The young man and Tao Yi spoke in unison.

There was a hearty laugh from the Drunken Pavilion......

The red fox was lying on his stomach on the tree, pouting his buttocks.

"The world is a lively street, there are many people coming and going on the street, and there is a huge restaurant called the Drunken Pavilion, on the Drunken Pavilion, there is a beautiful human woman, dressed in red......"

Returning from the human world, the red fox not only did not die, but longed for the human world even more.

"Why do you still want to go to the world?" Big Tree asked.

"I saw it in the eyes of the human woman...... She is not satisfied with the current life, she yearns for a bigger world......"

Red Fox said: "I think it must be interesting to be able to remember something that people like her will never forget." I'd like to check it out too. ”

Larger human ......
