Chapter 26, sour chicken soup in the slanting wind and drizzle
"The unruly person is you, the shameless and lazy person is also you, the person who passed on my sword technique is you, the person Zhu Xiaoyu is looking for is still you, Zhang Yiran set up a bureau for you, the whole world seems to be you or you"
"Shen Li, Shen Li, can you tell me, who the are you?"
Shen Li stood in front of the stove, holding on to the slightly rotten door frame and thinking for a long time, and replied seriously
"If you have to ask me who I am, then I can only tell you"
"I'm a good person"
...............
When facing the trial of Zhou Lu's holy light, the vicious bandits will always shout and let me go without any new ideas, I am a good person or give me a chance, I want to be a good person or other last struggle
But this kind of thing is often just just a matter of thinking, no matter how clean the butcher with blood on his hands washes his hands, he will never be able to wash away the rich and sticky smell of blood between his fingers, so this sentence that is obviously nonsense is obviously not what Xu Zi'an wants to hear, so the young man shouted loudly through the rain curtain
"Shen Li, can you be serious?"
Shen Li shrugged his shoulders indifferently, thinking that what I said was more serious than the serious words of the eight classics
It was really laborious to shout through the rain, so Xu Zi'an stepped on a footprint left by Shen Li in the rain and walked to the stove, and the two big white porcelain bowls were brought by the young man from under the eaves of the corridor to the thin and narrow rain next to the stove, and the chicken soup was wet by the rain, and a layer of oil floated up
The clouds above the town were dark and heavy, and the rain was still annoying, showing no sign of stopping
The old and the young changed places and were silent again
The rain does not stop, the wind naturally does not stop, the cold wind that cooled down on a rainy day blew away the warmth of early spring, Shen Li tightened the new padded jacket that was still clean on his body, and Xu Zi'an was also eroded by the coldness and coughed a few times
Maybe the cough shook the injured lung again, the young man frowned, and a deep voice of some pain broke the silence, "Shen Li, you don't have to hide it from me, I know something must be happening soon"
After a slight pause, Xu Zi'an pointed to the two large white porcelain bowls and continued with a suppressed voice
"Cooking noodles and boiling medicine and pouring sewage, you wouldn't have done it in the past, but now you not only did it, but you also did it so naturally and smoothly, and today you even boiled chicken soup for me, Shen Li, are those people looking for you coming soon?"
Who are those people, he, she, or them? Xu Zi'an didn't know who those people were, what kind of identity they had, or when they came, but he knew very well that with Shen Li's lazy habit, how could he do such complicated and trivial housework?
If something goes wrong, it must be a demon, not to mention that it is still so abnormal?
This made Xu Zi'an feel very uneasy
"Don't you want to prevaricate me with words like I'm injured, you didn't even look at me when I almost died in the mountains, let alone cook chicken soup for me like today."
Seeing that he couldn't find some excuses to dismiss the young man's inquiries as usual, Shen Li had no choice but to touch the stubble under his lips, and before he could feel the friction pleasure brought by the hard stubble, he suddenly raised his head, raised his eyebrows as if he sensed something, and looked in the direction of Bocheng, his eyes were serious and solemn
Xu Zi'an looked at Shen Li's sudden serious look, and inexplicably became nervous
"Those people, they may indeed be coming soon, or they may have already come," Shen Li said suddenly
"Here we are?............ Where is it" Xu Zi'an got up in a panic when he heard this, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked around like a tigress protecting her cubs, looking at any corner of the courtyard seriously, as if a stormy guest might suddenly come out of nowhere
"Look at the place you look at, not everyone likes to hide in the dark corners like that guy in Bocheng," Shen Li pointed to Xu Zi'an's forehead and said loudly
Xu Zi'an was slightly stunned, and then understood that Shen Li was referring to the thin man who appeared from the shadows after killing Zhang Yiran that night, and then remembered the dark corner where his gaze had just gone, and couldn't help but be embarrassed for a while
Seeing that the impact of the incident on himself was really not small, the young man sighed embarrassedly
However, seeing that Shen Li said it so lightly at this time, it was not expected that there would really be any uninvited guests who suddenly came to the door to disturb him on such a rainy day, Xu Zian's head was slightly relaxed, but then he tightened up again
If they don't come at this time, it means that they are coming
Thinking of this, Xu Zi'an broke into the rain, and hurriedly walked towards the room where the silver was hidden, and hurriedly instructed as he walked, "There is not much silver left in the house, you take it all away, there are enough for you to escape for a while on the road, it will be inconvenient for you to escape with me, since those who are looking for you are already coming, it should be too late for you to run now."
"You kid, come back to me" Shen Li was stunned, he didn't expect the boy's first thought to be so speechless, and the wordless was a little cute
"Who said Lao Tzu was going to run?" Shen Li smiled bitterly and continued to scold, "Lao Tzu is so unbearable in your eyes?"
"It's not a matter of embarrassment and embarrassment" Xu Zi'an turned around and walked back into the stove, looked at Shen Li, and said again, "When you're old, don't always fight and kill like a young man, run when you should, don't be ashamed"
Shen Li was holding a large white porcelain bowl, and when he heard the words, he almost scattered the sour chicken soup to the ground
Reaching out to wipe away a few drops of chicken soup scattered on Shen Li's padded jacket, Xu Zi'an thought about it and said sincerely again
"Shen Li, I know that you are very powerful, or you used to be very powerful, but you are definitely not as powerful as you were back then, you don't have to slap your swollen face to fill Zhu Xiaoyu"
Shen Li suddenly became angry when he heard this, pointed to his face and shouted loudly, "Lao Tzu just slapped his swollen face, and he is not as fat as Zhu Xiaoyu, besides, who dares to hit Lao Tzu's face"
Ignoring Shen Li's roar, Xu Zi'an continued
"When I was in the courtyard at the foot of Bocheng, I felt very suspicious when the thin man appeared, this suspiciousness does not refer to the bureau he set up with Zhang Yiran, I don't know much about cultivation, and I don't know what the specific realm of that man is, but I can see that although the man is very powerful, he must not be strong enough to the extent of some kind of legend."
"At least he shouldn't be able to beat Zhu Xiaoyu, otherwise I wouldn't have been rescued by Zhu Xiaoyu, of course, they probably didn't expect Zhu Xiaoyu to appear, otherwise they would definitely make more preparations, but at the time, it seemed that they obviously had a lot of confidence in catching you."
"Powerful, but not as strong as a legend, but still have the confidence to deal with you, which only shows that if they are not crazy, then you are now, and you are not as ...... Awesome"
After a pause, the usually gentle boy spat out the last two words that he rarely spoke, as if this was the only way to vent some of the tension and anxiety in his heart
Shen Li raised his eyebrows in some surprise, as if he didn't expect that the child in front of him, who was actually smart, could be so smart
Seeing that Shen Li still refused to reply, Xu Zi'an looked a little lonely, his eyes looked very confused, and he continued
"I have had the same dream countless times, but every time I wake up, I always forget everything in the dream, and I can only vaguely remember that there seems to be a very beautiful little white flower in the dream
"And while I was in a coma, I seemed to see the little white flower again, I don't know if they were the same flower, or if they were the same dream, but the little white flower was very clear, and I could see every vein on the snow-white petals, the verdant and messy but surging infinite vitality between the rhizomes, and the sound of joy like a flowing spring when the flower bloomed, and the solitary brilliance that bloomed alone in the dark night."
"Of course, there are many scenes in that dream like the real world, the black desert and the flames that seem to burn the sky, the various men and women who appear from time to time in the flames, and finally the scholars who turn into a stream of sand............"
"The shapes and shapes of people and objects are rolling in front of my eyes like a marquee, and I can only experience the changes and throbs like a bystander, but I can never make a sound, let alone express any joy or pain."
Speaking of this, the boy bowed his head slightly, looking a little confused, as if he had returned to the unusually clear sense of powerlessness in the dream again
"It feels lonely, lonely, like I'm separated from the world, or I'm abandoned by this."
Shen Li sucked the sour soup in the porcelain bowl, frowned, thinking to himself, how did this sound more sour than this sour soup?
"The old books that terrified the cultivators of the Knock Mansion Realm, the strange and powerful sword technique, and the piece of ...... that I always wore around my neck The black stone pendant, and these changes in my body"
After Xu Zi'an finished speaking, he looked down at the empty neck and continued
"If these strange places are just in ordinary times, anyway, things related to you are not ordinary, but when this kind of storm is coming, Shen Li, the more these things I can't understand, the more uneasy I feel."
The more incomprehensible it is, it can only show that Shen Li is more mysterious, and similarly, it can also show that the person who chased and killed Shen Li is stronger
Xu Zi'an understood this truth, so he was uneasy, he stared at the puddles that gradually accumulated in the courtyard, his eyes were stubborn and firm, like those hard stones on the mountain that were not easy to move
The raindrops hit the puddles and sent out countless ripples, and the ripples collided with each other in the shallow water between the inches and circles, and they were chaotic and scattered
Seeing the persistence in the young man's eyes, Shen Luo knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to continue to shirk this time, so he sighed and said suddenly
"I said a long time ago that Lao Tzu doesn't want to die, there is really no one in this world who can let Lao Tzu die, the man in the dragon chair can't, those Taoists on the thousand mountains can't, and even those old guys can't come."
"I admit that for some unspeakable reasons, I did fall into the realm, a long, long realm, but even if I am really like a tiger falling into Pingyang now, I can't be bitten by any cat or dog."
"You are very smart, and you should know very well that the reason why you have been unable to find the Great Dao Method for so many years is because someone has covered your knowledge and sealed a layer of thick fog on your knowledge, of course, that person is not me, as for who it is, I have not figured it out for so many years, you don't have to look at me with such expectation, if I have not fallen into the realm, I can unlock this seal, but now although I have some means of self-preservation, I can exert force between heaven and earth but very limited, so how to unlock which layer of fog can only rely on yourself"
"Of course, as for the boring question of who I am, I can only tell you that I am really a good person, and this is more true than the real gold in this real money."
Speaking of this, Shen Li paused slightly, thinking for a moment before continuing
"What's in that old book?"
"To be honest, I really don't know, after someone wrote this book with the power of the great supernatural power to gather the power of heaven and earth, this book has been out of the scope of the world's cognition, you can see the stars in the sky, that's because there is a vast sea of stars in this book itself, as for what Zhang Yiran saw in this book, that can only be known to him"
"What happened to you, though...... It's best not to talk about it with anyone, whether it's an old book or a knife technique, if you go to Kyoto in the future, these things will definitely be hidden, but before you can hold up a storm on your own, try not to be discovered."
Xu Zi'an listened carefully and didn't see the abnormality in Shen Li's expression
"As for the black stone and the flower"
Shen Li suddenly stopped, staring at the side of the young man's face, and only let out an extraordinarily long sigh after a long time
"It's in your heart right now"
"You don't have to think about taking it out, because that's your life"
