"Old man, have a good New Year." It was noon, Su Yidan and I took a taxi to the old man's place, went upstairs and pushed the room open, and found that the old man was sitting next to the window at the time, and he did seem to be a little worried, but after seeing me coming, he turned around and smiled, and then said to me: "Good New Year, Xiaoyuan, when did you arrive?" ”

"This morning." I put down the fruit in my hand as I spoke, and then smiled at him and said, "No, come and see you, how are you doing?" ”

"That's it." The old man turned around, and then said with a smile at me: "What about you, how are you doing, I heard Chen Qi say, you have had a very exciting year, but he is not old and sharp, come and tell me about it carefully." ”

This old man, I thought to myself, although his temper has changed a lot, and his brain is not confused, but he can't change his heart to pursue excitement, and he is quite interested in evil demons or something, you must know that Chen Crooked Neck doesn't know the two-headed monster, so he shouldn't have told this old man, I wonder if I tell him that I killed his old enemy, he will have an expression?

But before I could speak, Su Yidan spoke first, only to see her pick up the kettle and look at it, and then complained: "You old man, didn't you take the medicine on time?" Forget it, hurry up and get dressed, and if you want to talk, let's go to your baby apprentice's house to eat and chat. ”

Xuan Yan shrugged his shoulders, and then said to Su Yidan: "I am not sick and take any medicine............ What are you doing at his house? ”

"Eat." Su Yidan said as he picked up his hat and fastened it to Xuan Yan's head, and helped him get dressed, but the old man didn't stop putting on his mouth, and I saw him say to me: "By the way, Xiaoyuan, the tattoo for the tattoo still works." ”

"It works." I smiled and helped him up, although my words were completely perfunctory, because it has been so long, the tattoo on my back really has no effect, except for the two times I accompanied Han Wanchun to negotiate with a ruffian to play some deterrent effect, it is completely a decoration, I sometimes think that what kind of evil plan you said I was carrying behind my back, is it the most wasteful of the three tattoos?

But even if I thought so in my heart, I didn't say it, after all, the old man was so old, it was not good to spoil his interest again, so I talked to him and helped him downstairs.

After taking a taxi downstairs, I went directly to Dao'an's house, Dao'an received the news and went downstairs to pick it up, we looked at each other and smiled, and then I went to the nearby vegetable market with Su Yidan to buy vegetables, and went upstairs to get busy, not long after, Chen Crooked Neck also arrived, a few of us opened the table to eat and drink, after three rounds of wine, the old man Xuan Yan asked me about the fight with Ma Tianshun and Huang Shan at the beginning of the year, although Chen Crooked Neck also said something, but after all, he didn't open his eyes at that time, so many things didn't understand, So he asked me to tell him.

I saw that there were no outsiders at the banquet, so I said to them 1510, maybe I was really born to tell the story, although the tone seemed a little understated, but those people were stunned, especially when I said that the two-headed monster appeared, the old man slapped his thigh and called 'karma', which seemed to remind him of the situation when he fought to the death with that monster.

And Su Yidan looked more and more frightened, she looked at me, her eyes seemed to be filled with tears, this was the first time she had heard of it, so she couldn't help but be a little excited, when I finished telling them all the things, I saw that the old man couldn't help but sigh: "This is really good and evil will be rewarded in the end, just fight for early and late, Xiaoyuan, okay, I really didn't mistake you, I actually got rid of that monster, you just said that you bit him to death with your teeth?" Open your mouth and I'll see. ”

Su Yidan glanced at him, then put a piece of meat in his bowl, and said, "This old man, hurry up and eat, look at what teeth." ”

And I couldn't excuse myself, so I had to open my mouth and show my 'dentures', only to see the old man Xuan Yan take a closer look and say to me: "This fox tooth is very powerful, no wonder you can eat that monster into your stomach." ”

I smiled embarrassedly, didn't say anything, after eating, we chatted for a while, and then got up to say goodbye, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen crooked his neck saw that I was coming, so he booked a room for me in the hotel where he lived, and then went back by himself, and Su Yidan and I sent the old man back, when he got off the car, the old man was not in a hurry to go upstairs, I saw that he thought for a while, and then said to Su Yidan: "You go and buy a pack of cigarettes for me."

Su Yidan knew that he had something to say to me, so he said to him: "What kind of cigarettes do you smoke at such an old age?" ”

Having said that, she still turned around and left, I was standing on the side of the road with the old man Xuanyi, when the sky was about to dark, I looked at Su Yidan's red back, my heart was full of warmth, and at this time, the old man Xuanyi said to me happily: "Xiaoyuan, you didn't say everything just now." ”

I turned my head to look at the old man Xuanyi, only to see him looking at me with a smile, I smiled bitterly, thinking that it was no wonder that Su Yidan said that this old man was like a spy, and he really saw it.

That's right, in order not to worry Su Yidan just now, I didn't say some things, including Huang Shan's coercion before his death, and Ma Tianshun's last escape, and the last master of the sect was not caught, I saw that this old man was already suspicious, so I had to tell him these things.

After listening to my concerns, the old man shook his head and sighed, only to see him say to me: "Alas, it is difficult for you to have such a good heart for this child, but I have a sentence, and I don't know if you like to listen to it or not." ”

"Say it." I took out a cigarette and lit one for the old man, only to see the old man say to me, "Actually, you know, Xiao Danzi doesn't have long left." ”

After hearing him say this, my heart sank suddenly, thinking that Su Yidan was in a very good state today, so I subconsciously didn't think about this problem, but the problem I didn't think about doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, so I also sighed, and then said to him: "It's all useless for me, and I can't find that Qingli salvia now." ”

After hearing what I said, Daoist Xuan took a puff of cigarette, and then said to me: "What I want to tell you has something to do with this, in fact, I have been sitting and thinking for a long time, Xiaoyuan, do you think it is really good for you to do this?" ”

"What's so bad?" I was stunned for a moment, and then said to the Xuan Dao Chief, "Why do you ask that? ”

I saw that the Xuan Yan shook his head and sighed, and then said lightly to me: "It's nothing, it's just that I have come up with some problems that I couldn't think of before, and I'm still a monk in vain, but I didn't expect that I can't say what I think in my heart now, I'm really ashamed." ”

I looked at this mystery, and then said to him, "Old man, just say what you want to say, okay?" ”

Xuan Yan looked at me for a while, and then said to me: "I think you won't want to hear about it, but I'll tell you anyway, I hope you stop looking for that green lily salvia." ”

I was shocked, wondering if you, old man, knew what he was talking about. If you don't let me go to the Qingli salvia, isn't that just watching Su Yidan die? Isn't she your apprentice? Are you confused again?

Of course, the old man didn't look confused, his expression was serious and not joking, so I frowned, and then said to him: "Since you already know that I won't listen, why do you say this to me, what do you mean?" ”

I saw Xuan sigh a long time, and then said to me: "It's nothing, it's just that I have a bad premonition, I think it may not be a good thing for you to continue to look for Qingdan, maybe the final result is something you can't imagine." ”

It turned out to be said that in this more than a year, Xuan Xuan's mind gradually sobered up, recalling the first half of his life, although the Tao is profound, but because there is still anger in his heart, he only cultivated the Tao and did not cultivate the mind, you must know that this has violated the right path of their cultivators, after passing that incident, he was enlightened, so every time he meditated and meditated, I have to say that although the method of subduing demons is powerful, but it is some external body techniques, with the ** old age, those foreign ways of the arts are all lost, However, this method of cultivating the mind is completely different, this spiritual method has nothing to do with **, it will not grow old with time, but will become more and more profound with the accumulation of time.

This can be roughly described by the yin and yang diagram, Taoism says that Tai Chi gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four images, and then endless, so the figure of yin and yang fish is actually the way of change in the world, and it is also the right way for Taoist practice.

It can be said that the blending of yin and yang is the ultimate goal of a cultivator, but since this is a digression, it will stop there.

Xuan Xuan Dao Chang originally had a deep accumulation, and after the enlightenment, he made rapid progress, and in just one year, he had become a real ' Although this mystery has not yet been cultivated to that realm, but he already has quite a high ability at this time, some premonitions are extremely accurate, but his premonitions are not what he wants, he said to me, when he entered the meditation, he had a premonition that if I continued to go against the sky, it was estimated that there would be a big catastrophe, but you must know that Su Yidan's relationship with him is very deep, so he will feel embarrassed, he thinks, compared to me continue to take this risk alone to find an ethereal thing, it is better to use this time to accompany Su Yidan, accompany her to the last road, let her leave without worry。

After listening to him, I thought to myself, how can what this old man just said to me be so similar to what the monster leader brought to me through the Hubai River before? Why do you say that if I keep looking, it will be difficult?

I really can't figure it out, I just want my beloved woman to save her life, who am I hindering? Although the old man is also kind, how can I accept this?

So I said to him, "Thank you, old man, but I have seen too many evils, so I can't believe it, so I decided to continue looking, and I hope that it will not be short-lived, but long-lasting." ”

Yes, people must always have a goal in life, I have always felt that the short parting now is for a better reunion in the future, why can't I wait until I find that Qingdan and then go down with Su Yidan?

I saw Xuan sigh, and then said to me: "Love to meet, hate to part, do you know that this encounter is just the beginning of the next parting?" ”

His words made my heart very confused, and I don't know why, why did I part, why is this?

At that moment, a terrible thought seemed to pop up in my heart, so I didn't dare to think about it, so I had to take a deep breath, and then said to the old man: "Okay, old man, let's not discuss this issue anymore, Su Yidan will be back in a while, okay?" ”

The old man said softly: "Well, since you have already chosen, then I can only bless you child, and the next road can only go on by yourself, I hope you, I hope you can have a perfect karma." ”

After that, he patted me on the shoulder, and at this time, Su Yidan came back, only to see her throw a box of cigarettes to the old man Xuanyi, and then smiled at him and said, "What did you two talk about, it's so mysterious." ”

"Nothing." I squeezed out a smile at Su Yidan, and the old man looked at us, then sighed and turned to go upstairs.

That night, the wind was very strong, Su Yidan and I walked on the way back, the shadow of the street lamp was stretched very long, the street lamp covered her body with a faint yellow light, it looked very warm, maybe this is the warmth that supports me, I thought to myself, I don't want to lose her.

Su Yidan didn't go home, so he followed me back to the hotel, after taking a hot bath, I felt better, Su Yidan was lying on the bed, her face was slightly tired, I hugged her and whispered to her, Su Yidan asked some about my experience last year, I knew everything, after Su Yidan heard what happened to me, she didn't say anything, just stroked my face, after a while, she turned off the light and threw herself into my bad, her body was very cold, I could touch the bones of her ribs, a little shocking.

So I just hugged her in the dark, and didn't do anything else, so after a long time, I only heard Su Yidan in the dark say, "Yao Yuan, let's break up." ”
