old man

Ziyang looked at the road in front of him and sighed, "It's better to be outside." He stretched his waist and felt very lucky, he thought that he would encounter many fierce beasts along the way, but he did not expect to encounter a single one, which is really strange.

"Xiao Yu, let's go quickly, let's see what people live around?" Ziyang was extremely excited, holding the Supreme Sword in one hand and Xiao Yu in the other, and walked along the path.

It's just that the two of them have been walking for a long time and there are no people, Ziyang is a little depressed, there is no one, where is the way from?

"Let's go further and take a look, maybe there will be someone?" Xiao Yu couldn't bear to look at Ziyang's appearance, and couldn't help but persuade.

Ziyang nodded, and it had to be like this. It's just that he didn't expect that just after turning a hill, he really saw a house, although there was only one, but it was also inhabited.

"Xiaoyu, you are so powerful, can you guess this?" Ziyang happily hugged Xiaoyu and cheered loudly.

Xiaoyu's delicate face seemed to be able to pinch out water, gently beat Ziyang, and said softly, "Idiot, go ask for directions first, and see where this is?"

"Yes. Ziyang woke up suddenly, pulling Xiaoyu and running towards the hut.

On the walls of the hut hung axes, machetes, saw blades, and other utensils, which seemed to be used to collect firewood. The small courtyard is boxy, with a stone table in the center and four stone benches around the table.

The small courtyard is clean and tidy, although it is in the middle of a barren mountain, there is no sense of clutter. The next chapter has been updated

"Anyone?" Ziyang shouted across the courtyard.

The courtyard is very quiet, blending in with the surrounding environment, as if it is an extension of the mountain forest.

"Hey. Ziyang shouted, this time, the door suddenly opened, and an old man walked out of the small wooden door, although his hair was gray, but looking at his walking posture, he was very vigorous.

There are really people, Ziyang is overjoyed, after walking for so long, he finally saw a living person, although he is an old man, but it brings hope to Ziyang.

"Old man, why are you living alone?" Ziyang shouted at the old man from afar.

The old man quickly walked to the gate of the courtyard and said to Ziyang and Xiaoyu, "I also want to ask, why did you two appear in this deep mountain again?"

"This, let's ......" Before Ziyang finished speaking, Xiaoyu suddenly spoke, "I went out with my husband to play, but I got lost, and I came here by mistake." ”

The old man nodded, "It's really easy to get lost here, I've lived here for so long, sometimes I get lost." The old man looked at the two of them with a smile, then opened the door and beckoned Ziyang and Xiaoyu to come in.

Then the old man turned back to the house, took out a cyan ceramic teapot and two teacups from the house, and poured a cup for each of them.

Ziyang hurriedly thanked him, he had walked for so long, his mouth was indeed dry, this old man was proficient in affairs, and he was really extraordinary.

It's just that when Ziyang lowered his head, he didn't serve the tea in the teacup.

Suddenly, Ziyang looked at the green tea in the cup with some surprise, because between the tea mist rising, some strange pictures appeared.

Ziyang looked up at the old man, he was still smiling, there was nothing unusual, a light cloud and light dusty appearance.

"Idiot, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yu was stunned when she saw Ziyang and touched Ziyang with her arm.

Ziyang shook his head and whispered to Xiao Yu, "Have you noticed any difference in this tea?"

"What difference can it be?" Xiao Yu was puzzled, not knowing what Ziyang was referring to, and smiled lightly at the old man, behaving generously, "Thank you, old man." ”

Xiaoyu took the tea and drank it all, and then smacked her lips, "Why is this tea sweet?

Ziyang still didn't drink tea, he stared at the mist rising in the air, in the spread of the mist, it seemed that there were thousands of horses galloping, and then the picture changed, as if there were countless long swords dancing in the air.

Ziyang was fascinated, and the picture kept changing, and finally condensed into one word, "Kill." The killing word in the air revealed a cold air, like a long sword shooting towards Ziyang.

Ziyang was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly took a few steps back, and when he looked again, the words in the air had disappeared, although there was still fog, but there was no strange scene just now.

"Dumb, what's wrong with you, this tea is very good, why don't you drink it?" Xiaoyu thought to herself, why is Dumb so strange today, can't it be that he has become stupid again.

"Young man, the water for making tea is the rain and dew in the early morning in the mountains, the water without roots, and it is not stained with dust. The old man smiled and poured another cup for Xiaoyu.

Ziyang picked up the tea, hesitated for a moment, but still drank it, "It's just, why is this tea so bitter?" Ziyang couldn't help but let out a sound as soon as he drank it. "Is it bitter, isn't it bitter?" Xiao Yu said suspiciously, obviously it is very sweet, why does the same pot of tea drink two completely different tastes?

Especially Ziyang, he felt even more strange, but the old man just smiled and poured them another glass, "I have lived alone in this deep mountain for decades, and no one has ever been able to find here, since you are here today, it is fate." ”

"I've learned Zhou Yi gossip before, and the old man is bored when he's idle, why don't you let the old man calculate the mountain road for you?" the old man continued.

"Zhou Yi gossip, what is that?" Xiao Yu asked curiously, her big eyes glowing with autumn water, beautiful and incomprehensible.

"It's a magic technique passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors, but it's a pity that in my generation, there is only a little fur left. The old man sighed faintly, and his tone seemed to span thousands of years.

"How godly?" Xiao Yu Bituminous Coal frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask.

The old man shook his head, "I don't know about this either, because I've never seen a real magic before." ”

"What is the use of this, old man. Ziyang remembered what happened just now, and couldn't help but ask.

"The law does not arise alone, and the situation is born; the way is not vain, and when it encounters fate, it should be responded, sometimes it is useful, sometimes it is useless. The old man said as if he were playing tricks.

"Old man, don't say it so mysteriously, he doesn't understand. Xiao Yu pointed at Dumb and smiled, the old man's words were obscure, but Ziyang seemed to have understood.

The old man glanced at Ziyang, and then said, "If you don't understand, it's useful to understand." ”

Ziyang raised his head and looked at the old man again, dressed in a gray shirt, but without losing his momentum, not like a woodcutter in the mountains, but like a gentleman teaching in the school.

Especially the smile at the corner of his mouth, which is not deep or shallow, gives Ziyang the feeling that it is unfathomable.

"That old man, since it is so deep, can you give me a calculation of my past life?" Ziyang doesn't believe it, are all people living in the deep mountains outside the world, did he meet an immortal?

"Do you want to know your fate in your past life?" the old man's lips were still smiling.

"Yes. Ziyang nodded.

"But sometimes knowing too much can be more painful. The old man made a gesture and motioned for Ziyang and Xiaoyu to sit down.

Ziyang looked at the old man, "I still want to know." "He's lost his old memories, so he's desperate for what he used to do.

"I can't tell you this. A person's life is like a moment, I know what my fate is, I don't know what my fate should be, since it has passed, why not let it pass?"

"What about her?" Ziyang looked at Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu looked at the old man with the same curiosity.

"Let go of the obsession in your heart, don't chase the bright moon, and sigh empty. ”

"Old man, I don't understand. Xiao Yu shook her head and said with a frown.

Ziyang picked up the tea from the table again and drank it all, "Old man, you said you could count our lives, but in the end I didn't tell you anything." ”

"Yes, yes. Xiaoyu echoed.

The old man smiled soothingly, "I already told you, but you don't understand it now, remember what I told you." ”

"Tell us. Forget your predecessor and let go of your obsessions?" Ziyang kept chattering, "That's what you told us, but what's the use?"

"You'll know in the future, I never lie to people, old man, and if you do what I say, it will definitely be good. ”

"Old man, if you want me to say that if you go out and deceive people, someone will definitely believe you. Xiaoyu sneered, feeling that the old man was lying to her, and said that what Mingyue was chasing was just incomprehensible.

"You've wronged me, old man. The old man shook his sleeves, carried the teapot that was already empty, and went into the room to fill a jug of water.

"Before it gets dark, hurry up, I am very happy that you have accompanied the old man to relieve his boredom today. The old man put the teapot down and looked at the sky.

"But, we don't know where to go?" Ziyang had a sad face, originally they thought they had walked out of the deep mountains, but they didn't expect that this was just the residence of a reclusive person.

"I know this, you go all the way east along this road, don't turn around, keep walking, and you will see where people live. The old man said.

"Really?" After all, they've been gone for so long, and it's better to have hope than to walk aimlessly.

The old man's face was full of vicissitudes with a hint of remembrance, "Of course, I used to live where I lived, and I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know what has become of it." ”

"Then why don't you go back with us and have a look?" Ziyang proposed to the old man, what is the point of being here every day?

"The world is extraordinary, and the mountains are free. The old man's eyes looked at the grass and trees in the deep mountains, maybe he had feelings for here, Ziyang thought in his heart.

"That old man, let's say goodbye, we will come to see you again in the future, and thank you for your tea. Ziyang drank the last cup of tea, took Xiaoyu's hand and said to the old man.

"You should really thank me for my words. ”

The old man sighed, as if he was very depressed. "Maybe. Ziyang said indifferently, anyway, he wouldn't listen to the old man's words, forget the past, then he might as well stay at the bottom of the cliff with Xiaoyu and not come out again.

Ziyang and Xiaoyu drifted away and disappeared into the quiet and empty woods.

But they didn't know that after they left, the old man and the hut in the woods disappeared as if they had never appeared.

Of course, including the road leading to the hut, it has also become a meadow, and maybe the hut is gone, and there is no need for it to exist.
