Without anyone around, Yuan Lai suddenly felt much more comfortable, not far away there was a pair of children's scholars talking about the past and the present, and there was a cup of tea in front of him in the near distance.

The setting is elegant, just a little lonely.

Suddenly, however, his attention was drawn to a guest who had just entered the door.

It was a young man, a very handsome young man.

He wore the plain white gown, cloth shoes, a Taoist bun on his head, and a slender sword at his waist.

It was the first time Yuan Lai had seen a living sword in his life, so he couldn't help but linger his gaze on it. The guest was very sensitive and looked at Yuan Lai's gaze.

No matter what the aesthetics are, it should be admitted that this is a very good-looking man, with a good temperament, a fair and translucent face, no lack of angularity and masculinity, and he is in his early twenties, but the temperament of the whole person is very stable when he is young and vigorous.

Yuan Lai is a person who is very good at observing others, so he was instantly attracted by this guest, and his first impression was not bad.

The young man was slightly stunned, and saw that it was a handsome young man in his teens looking at him, so he immediately returned a polite smile.

Yuan Lai also smiled, but pretending to giggle for a long time had sequelae, so his smile was really a bit silly in the eyes of the young man.

The young man walked straight over and said with a smile, "Can I sit here?"

Yuan Lai was stunned for a moment, and quickly glanced at the teahouse, only he was the emptiest here, so it was natural for this young man to come over.

"Yes. ”

"Thank you. The young man nodded in thanks.

The sharp-eyed Xiao Er came over lightly and said attentively: "What does this son want?"

"If you're thirsty, let's have a cup of tea. ”

"What kind of tea do you want?"

The young man stretched out his hand and pointed to the teacup in front of Yuan Lai and said, "This kind of is fine." ”

"Okay, wait a minute. Xiao Er bowed down and retreated.

Yuan Lai pursed his lips, if he was thirsty, he would be able to resist the hot days of a bowl of cold water, so he had to enter this high-grade teahouse and order a cup of tea that was not cheap to quench his thirst, which was really fucking hypocritical.

The young man naturally couldn't see the whisper in his stomach, so he took off the sword at his waist and put it on the table, this sword looked as thin as paper but the weight was not light, Yuan Lai clearly saw that the water surface in his teacup was instantly uneven.

The young man didn't talk to him, and it just so happened that Yuan Lai was not a person who liked to hook up with strangers, if the other party was a tender girl, it was still a little possible, but since it was a son, forget it.

So it's quiet for the two to sit together, and it's a very enjoyable tranquility.

The storyteller is talking about what the suzerain of the Southern Sect stepped into the third realm of cultivation at the age of ten, and the entrance appeared, and he slaughtered the dragon with a sword in the south Qinghe of the Nanshan Mountain, and the blood stained the Qinghe, and the Qinghe was renamed the Red River from then on.

The tea guests who listened to the book applauded and the atmosphere was enthusiastic, and even the eyes of the young people were attracted to it. But Yuan Lai didn't feel much when he heard it, he only knew the soft and hard packs of Honghe cigarettes, but he didn't know the Nanshannan of the world.

When he thinks of Honghe, he thinks of cigarettes, and then he naturally becomes addicted to cigarettes.

Yuan Lai's addiction to smoking is not heavy, and he doesn't smoke for a few days and half a month, but once he is hungry, he scratches his heart with a hundred claws.

There was no way to feel uncomfortable, he couldn't help but sigh, this sigh was full of longing.

The young man was startled by the sigh of the young man opposite, Yuan Lai was young and handsome, he used to look stupid and made people ignore his skin, but now he is sober and his temperament has come up.

"What are you sighing about?" the young man wondered.

Yuan Lai was melancholy in his heart, and when he heard this, he said with a bitter expression: "What do you say is the farthest distance in the world?"

The farthest distance in the world?

The young man didn't expect Yuan Lai to open his mouth with such a question, but he didn't laugh, but thought about it very seriously, and replied, "I think it's the distance between the south and the north." ”

Yuan Lai looked at him with a look at rare objects, and said sullenly: "I thought you would answer that it is the distance between life and death." ”

The young man smiled indifferently: "Life and death are not very important in terms of cultivation. ”

"You're a cultivator?"

"Yes. The young man nodded.

Yuan Lai's eyes lit up and said, "Then can you tell me what the cultivation is?"

The young man was stunned, but did not speak until his teacup was brought up, and said, "I can't tell it myself." ”

Seeing the question of the young man at the same table, he smiled helplessly and said: "The tutor gave me a question, so that I can understand the truth, I have been pondering for nearly two months and have no clue, you say that with my understanding, where can I clearly explain what cultivation is." ”

This is a bit abrupt, it shouldn't be said to a stranger easily, but maybe it's because I've been distressed in my heart for too long and want to talk to someone, and it just so happens that the young man opposite seems to be a good candidate, so the young man hesitated and said.

"What's the subject?"

Yuan Lai said with interest, he suddenly became interested when he thought of doing the question, which is a kind of thing he likes to play.

The young man didn't have much hope, and when he saw Yuan Lai curious, he gently put his finger close to the surface of the teacup, as if he had dipped the tea and then wrote two words on the table with his wet fingers.

Yuan Lai's eyes lit up, and he clearly saw that the finger did not touch the surface of the water, and the water droplets floated up and automatically stuck to the fingertips!

It's a pretty trick.

The two words are written backwards. Because the two sat opposite each other, in order to make it easy for Yuan Lai to watch, the young man simply wrote upside down.

What is admirable is not this delicate thought, but even if it is written backwards, these two words are very beautifully written!

Yuan Lai's calligraphy attainments in his previous life were not low, and those were the few things he could brag about, so he could see the difficulty of writing like this at a glance, and he also took a higher look at this handsome tea guest.

"Those are those two words. ”

Yuan Lai looked at it, it was the words "out" and "heavy".

The two words that seemed to have nothing to do with each other, the young man withdrew his hand and said abruptly: "The teacher said that I should understand the truth, but it's a pity that ......"

He sighed, frustration in his tone.

However, as soon as his sigh fell, he saw the young man opposite looking at him strangely and said, "How much do you read?"

"Huh?" he was stunned for a moment, paused and replied, "I have read through the Taoist scriptures and the notes of the hundred schools of practice since I was a child......"

Yuan Lai interrupted him: "I'm not talking about any Taoist classics, but those historical legends and wild history books." ”

"This ...... Useless things......" the young man explained blankly.

"That's right, you should read more. Yuan Lai's eyes met and he made up his mind.

Just slightly sluggish, the young man was surprised: "Do you know the meaning of these two words?"

Yuan Lai smiled, and said slowly in the surprised eyes of the other party: "You...... Have you ever heard of Cangjie making characters?"

The character of Cangjie exists in this world, Yuan Lai saw this character when he was idle and bored and rummaged through the book of "Qi Xi" in his room, and it is the same as in his memory, and it is said that he is the originator of character making.

"Of course I know Master Cangjie, it was an extremely powerful cultivator in ancient times. The young man in white said.

“......”

Yuan Lai felt that he needed to read more books.

"There is a story in the legend," Yuan Lai settled down and said leisurely: "After Cangjie made words, his fame grew, and he became a little eye-catching, and the words were sloppy, and this matter reached the ears of the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor was very dissatisfied with this change in his courtiers, but it was inconvenient to point it out directly, so he found an elder to discuss. ”

In ancient times, the knotting method was used to count the years, and this old man's snow-white beard was tied with more than 120 knots, proving that he was more than 120 years old. The old man pondered for a long time and then went to look for Cangjie, just in time for Cangjie to teach people to read, the elder did not speak and listened behind the crowd, and when the crowd dispersed, he found Cangjie to ask for advice. ”

"Cangjie, I'm so dizzy that I have a few words that are really confused, are you willing to teach me again?"

The elder in his hundred and twenties asked, Cangjie didn't dare to make a mistake, and said respectfully: "You say." ”

The old man said: "The word 'heavy' you created is a combination of the two characters of a thousand miles, indicating that it is a thousand miles away, and you should pronounce the word 'out' to make a long door, but you teach people to pronounce the word 'heavy' that makes weight, and the word 'out' when the two mountains are combined should be the word 'heavy' that indicates weight." But you taught the word 'out' when you go out, which really confuses me, so I have to ask you for advice. ”

Cangjie then woke up and abandoned the problem of frivolity and arrogance, but unfortunately the word has been taught and spread all over the world and cannot be changed.

Yuan Lai smiled, pointed to the two handwriting that were about to evaporate clean, and said, "This is about the meaning of these two words." ”

When I raised my eyes again, I saw the young man listening in a daze, and then his face turned red, and he suddenly said, "So that's the case!"

Seeing this person's face change, Yuan Lai felt that he should take a sip of tea at this time to show his compulsion, and he thought of it, he just put his lips to the side of the bowl with the appearance of a dog, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a pair of bright eyes in the middle of a pot of indoor flowers and plants in the distance!

He trembled in his heart, and hurriedly swallowed a big sip of Huangbi tea to suppress the shock.
