After spending all the money in Kari, the door of the Dao Tea House was full of lanterns of various shapes.

On the paper of the lantern, Niu Struggle wrote a column of words in a small seal.

When I was learning art, the beggar said that cultivators can't understand calligraphy. Holding a pen in your hand is not only for writing, but also for training to control the flow of internal qi. At that time, Niu Zhan's favorite was the kind of "beautiful bones and fun and hazy" of Song Huizong's golden body, and he also liked the turbulent dragon and tiger roar in Yue Pengju's "Man Jianghong".

But the beggar said that the Chinese descendants should learn the small seal the most, and the font that is most in line with the image of the Chinese descendants is also the small seal. There is a deeper meaning for cultivators, and if you can write a small seal, the essence will be natural. Because the small seal pays attention to holding the pen palm and pointing to the truth, walking the pen to seek introverted accessibility, hiding the breath of Haoran in Mianran, and God is moist and dry between the separation. There are not only the graces of the Wei and Jin dynasties, but also the rhyme of the ancient martial arts, which can best reflect the essence of national culture.

However, Niu Zhan was very stubborn at the beginning, and he thought that the words were really subtle, not enough to express his fierce emotions, and the beggar did not force it.

But since I came to Longdu, my thoughts about my master have become stronger, and every time my heart is cluttered, I will write a few small seals. It was only then that he understood Master's intentions, words are like people, but to be a person, you must also know how to put it away freely. If you only know how to put it, but don't know how to receive, no matter how sharp the pen is, it is just a kind of powerless catharsis of the pen to the paper.

The lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month have lantern riddles, and this line of small seals is a mystery that he longs for in his heart: is the old man returned?

In the land of Yan Zhao, there are many generous and tragic people, Bai Feng is such a person, he expected that Niu Struggle and his master's relationship must be extremely deep, but he didn't expect it to be such an expression. Seeing through life and death, he was used to seeing reincarnation, and saw Niu Struggle on the roof with a small table on the rooftop, a pot of black tea on the table, a pair of bamboo chairs, and the one sitting was silent, looking at another empty chair, his eyes were sparkling, and his heart was sour.

"Old man, you go and persuade" Bai Feng said with a little choked up, at this moment, he felt that he was very cruel and should not tell the news to the stubborn cow.

"Don't persuade me, this is his conscience," Sour Lao Xi said lightly.

"Shouldn't I have said that? He is not my apprentice, how to arrange it should be his master's business, am I too much in charge? ”

Oh felt that his master had entrusted him to Ni, and he had long thought that Ni's broken mouth couldn't hold a word. In fact, it is his own business to go in the future, even if it is his master, he will not force it, and he will be responsible for him by telling him the choice! Besides, the master is going to die after all, and he will die early and late, so he will be uncomfortable for a few days, and it will be fine when it is over. Dead parents can also be relieved, let alone a master," said Sour Lao Xi unusually calmly.

"Damn, why are you so ruthless, you eat people and live in other people's homes, and if you don't sympathize, you still talk about cool things!" Bai Feng was furious.

Unexpectedly, Niu Zhan heard it, he reluctantly smiled and said, "The old man is right, if you die your parents, people can live." But the heart is so big, and if it lacks a piece, it will never grow again. Go down, it's cold up there, I'll wait alone. ”

"How long does Ni have to wait?" Sour Lao Xi asked suddenly.

"After this fifteenth, the master will never lose his word, since he said that it is fifteen, even if it is one more minute, it is not fifteen. Let me keep watch, if I don't come back after fifteen, I won't be able to come back. Oh, by the way, no matter whether the master comes back or not, I am my master's apprentice, how the master teaches, how the apprentice learns, I want to become a person like the master after all, no need to ask my choice, it has already been decided, in this life, I will not change again, if I change, I will not be the master's apprentice! Niu Struggle's tone was calm.

The corners of Sour Laoxi's mouth raised slightly: "Hehe, there are many masters in the world, maybe Ni will worship another one in the future!" ”

"Damn, old man, are you sick, do you say such things?" Bai Feng couldn't bear it anymore.

Niu Zhan shook his head, and smiled happily inexplicably: "There is only one pair of parents and only one master, even if it is really gone, I can only put down one spiritual position in my heart." ”

"Okay, it seems that Ni's mood is not messed up yet, just wait if you want to wait, don't wait for yourself to be stupid, the days will be long" Sour Lao Xi's tone softened.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

"Let's go, let's go out too, after all, it's a holiday," Sour Lao Xi said to Bai Feng.

"Not 。。。。。。"

The sour old Xisheng dragged hard, hung a sign at the door of the store that was temporarily closed, and dragged Bai Feng and the tiger boy out of the door.

Walking out not far away, Bai Feng said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing, what are you talking about leaving him alone?" ”

"We're here, he's embarrassed to cry, and the water that can't flow down in his eyes will drown people! Ni is not a person, Ni doesn't understand this kind of feeling, he is still a baby after all, the calmer he is at this time, the more uncomfortable he is" Sour Lao Xi explained.

"So that's the case, that's right, yes, then listen to you, let's also look at the lanterns and live a worldly life."

Sure enough, he was guessed by Sour Laoxi, and after Niu Struggle was the only one left in the tea house, the tears that had been rolling in his eyes gushed out, and he said the words that came out of his heart on the other empty chair.

The hands of the clock, every minute, every second, were clearly engraved in his heart, looking at the moon in the starry sky, Shen Youxuhai, and finally came to the time.

When the time comes, it means that a new day has begun.

Tears flowed, Niu Zhan looked at the sky and smiled: "Master, you can find the ravine and ditch in our house, but when it's coming, why don't you come to see the apprentice for the last time?" Are you tired? If you're tired, then take a good rest, and we'll see you in the next life. ”

After speaking, he stood up, and suddenly, he knelt down on the ground and shouted to the sky: "Master, let's go, the apprentice has kowtowed to you!" ”

Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock, the concrete floor, all trembled.

At this moment, a chaotic footstep sounded behind him, a pair of thin arms wrapped around his broad shoulders, and his head rested on his back: "Don't do this, don't do this, you hurt yourself like this, you will die!" ”

It's a woman's voice, crying!

Niu Zhan hurriedly held back his tears, shook his arms, and shook the life behind him. Then he jumped back and saw the person clearly through his eyes that were half covered with blood, and was greatly surprised, and his tone was full of anger: "Why are you? How many will you come? ”

"I've been here for a long time, I just had a break for the holiday today, I want to come over to thank you in person, I saw that your store was not open, I thought you were out to play, but the door was not locked, so I came in to take a look at it curiously, and I heard a sound upstairs, so I came up. Seeing you sitting and talking alone on the roof, just, just, just, curious, listened for a while, only to know that you were sad when your master was gone, so I didn't dare to disturb you. Sorry, I shouldn't have eavesdropped! ”

The person who came was Zhang Xiaojie, who was shocked to the ground by the huge force of the cow's struggle, and the down jacket was rubbed out of a big hole, and the thin black stockings that were specially changed had already broken a big hole, and the exposed snowy skin was full of scratched blood. However, she didn't feel the pain, looking at Niu Struggle's red eyes, there was only guilt and an inexplicable distress, and the tone of her voice was extremely cowardly.
