Chapter XVII: The Day Before and Today

The sun rose in the east, and the golden dawn was sprinkled on Yangshan as it had been sixty years before.

The disciples who got up early were already standing on the stone cliff facing the sea breeze, meditating and practicing the exercises.

And for 60 years, the elder who sat under the cliff every day to fish was rarely absent, so that the seagulls staying on the beach had some doubts.

On the south side of Yangshan, there is a bamboo house facing the sea with the back of the mountain, the whole is yellow after the years of Jiazi, but the courtyard is neat and clean, there is a small vegetable field next to the yard, and a few air-dried fish are worn with a rope outside the house, which looks like the residence of a fisherman by the sea.

At this time, the door of the bamboo house was opened, and Fengguancheng, dressed in military uniform, stood in front of the spirit case under the middle hall, put incense on a tablet, and then picked up an old sword from the spirit case.

The sword is three feet long, the scabbard tail is black and cyan, and the sword grid made of brass is engraved with a yin and yang fish, which is too old and dyed by incense, and has turned black, and the overall look is more like a town house ornament than a warrior's weapon.

Bian Yuanlie stood at the door in a linen robe, although he was over ninety years old, his demeanor was like a humble apprentice, and he was obviously a little puzzled when he saw this.

After all, since Fengguancheng was born, it is invincible, fists and feet are superb, although they also use weapons, but they don't bring it, what is the use of anything, nothing, tear a robe, and the opponent who can fight can't find the north.

Bian Yuanlie saw Fengguancheng come out with a weapon, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Mr. Bong still has weapons? I haven't seen you use it. ”

Fengguancheng came to the door and looked at the sword in his hand through the morning light:

"How can the people of the rivers and lakes have no weapons, and no one is worth drawing their swords after leaving the mountain. Moreover, this sword is not mine, it is left by the predecessors who led the way. ”

"You still have a division commander?!"

"No matter how talented a martial artist is, someone must lead the way, and no one is born to know everything. But it's not a teacher, it's just a senior who took me to get started. ”

"Which immortal is so domineering that he can bring out an immortal like you?"

Feng Guancheng looked at the black and cyan scabbard and did not respond to this topic, but his mind returned to the first time he saw this sword.

It was the fourth year of Yan Changning, he was sixteen years old, and the ruling Emperor Yan Cheng was close to the end of the dynasty, but it was not completely decayed, and it was in the stage of turbulence and the heroes were eager to try, and the Northwest Royal Court had just been established.

And he was not a martial artist at that time, nor was he called Fengguancheng, just a poor scholar who dreamed of being admitted to Xiucai, he may be extremely talented, but he didn't find Maxima's Bole, and he thought that 'everything is inferior, only reading is high', and he has nothing to do with the rivers and lakes at all, the only thing that is different is that he is physically strong and has more strength.

As the saying goes, no one is perfect, Fengguancheng's martial arts talent can be called the best in ancient and modern times, but the talent for reading is really mediocre, from the age of nine to the county examination, the examination to the age of fifteen or sixteen did not mix with the name of Xiucai, and it is even more unattainable to raise people to become scholars or something.

Aware that his fame was hopeless, he also wrote poems anonymously and scolded the imperial court at that time, because he really failed the exam, so he followed the example of the ancient sages and began to travel to see if he could become enlightened.

As a result, I never thought about it, and stepped into the chaos of the rivers and lakes!

I remember that it was a summer when he was sixteen years old, he was in the Wujiang generation, and took a boat to Wuzhou City at night, and found that something was wrong with the riverside halfway.

Out of curiosity, he ran to the neighborhood to take a look, and found a woman floating by the river, and before she was dead, the woman was holding the sword.

He rescued the woman and helped heal the wounds, and later learned that the woman was from Yuxu Mountain, chasing and killing the evil demons, but was injured by a hidden demon.

He was only sixteen years old at the time, because the woman was very beautiful and her personality was very kind and gentle, and after a period of contact with each other, they had a dream man like a normal young man.

But it was a pity that the woman was much older than him, and she was only willing to take him as an apprentice, and did not want to follow him.

He chased him to many places for this, and even ran to Yuxu Mountain to stay on it, and was beaten by the same young old master.

But the woman was a cultivator, and her attitude was very resolute, and in the end she could not get what she wanted, and when she was twenty years old, the woman disappeared, and he did not know where she went, but before leaving, she left him a letter and this sword.

The letter said that they had no chance with each other in this life, and warned him to take the right path and do good deeds, he was very talented, as long as he could correct his words and deeds and work hard, he might be able to meet again in the future.

Feng Guancheng definitely didn't believe it at the time, he just thought that the woman abandoned him and left, so he tried every means to find it, and even used some relatively unworthy methods to force the woman out, but unfortunately there was no news.

When he was twenty-three years old, he understood that the woman had really left this world, and he guessed where the woman had gone, and since then, he has really matured, began to practice martial arts hard, and slowly has a 'Tao' in his heart.

Although it started too late, it is much easier to practice martial arts and test Xiucai.

It only took him two years to go from an ordinary martial artist to defeat the first great grandmaster, and it only took two years to go from a great grandmaster to the first person in the Southern Dynasty.

After the age of thirty, he no longer used his hands against the enemy, and after the age of forty, he did not take half a step back, and at the age of fifty, he had already occupied a single gear in the north and south rivers and lakes, and he was proud of no opponent in the world, as long as he stood in Yun'an, hundreds of thousands of rebels did not dare to step into Yunzhou half a step, it can be said that since the name 'Fengguancheng' appeared on the rivers and lakes, he has not felt the pressure.

The reason why he went to Yun'an to settle down and accept the reward from the imperial court was because he was born as a scholar, and after all, he had the idea of 'learning literature and martial arts and serving the emperor's family', and he also wanted to follow the woman's advice and serve the court to do something beneficial to the country and the people.

But in the last years of Dayan, he saw the mediocrity of the court and the grievances of the people, and slowly became suspicious of what he had done in the past, and finally made a 'treacherous' move, not to help Dayan resist the righteous army, but chose to withdraw from the rivers and lakes and came to this Yangshan to live in seclusion.

Withdrawing from the rivers and lakes is indeed out of the guilt of eating Da Yan Yulu, but not helping him, but painting the ground here is not all because of guilt, after all, he can completely apologize with death.

The reason why I don't die or leave is because the person who injured the woman back then is still alive in the world, and because of that sentence - after I leave, I don't know how many people in the world have become demons and how many people have become demons!

That woman spent her whole life secretly looking for obstacles in the world, preventing the filth from flowing from the mountains to the world.

Before the woman left, she gave him this responsibility; And before he leaves, he naturally has to hand over this burden to future generations.

He didn't know how many years he had been waiting for the woman to appear, but he had indeed waited here for a whole life, and had seen countless Tianjiao who had risen and died young, before waiting for someone who could take over......

……

Bian Yuanlie stood in front of him, saw that Mr. Feng was silent looking at the sword, and wanted to raise his hand to touch the scabbard.

Syllable~

As a result, he bumped into the little kid, and was beaten on the back of his hand as if he had been taught a lesson by his elders.

Bian Yuanlie didn't even see how he was beaten, so he quickly retracted his hand and asked:

"How does Mr. Bong recall the past? The night terror hall is coming, ready to abdicate and let Xian fail? ”

Fengguancheng put away his sword and raised his eyes to look at the endless sea:

"The status of the rivers and lakes is fought by fists, not by others, and the 'first in the world' needs people who are conceded by others, and they are qualified to be compared with the old man?"

"That's right, I'm afraid that Night Terror Hall is hanging this time......"

……

——

At the same time, inside the official city.

Last night, black and white impermanence appeared in Qixuanmen, after explaining the cause of Fu Tongsheng's death, the people of Tiannan Jianghu smelled an unusual meaning, and when it was dawn, there were obviously more warriors in the official city, and even the surrounding mountains and seas appeared on the traces of Jianghu people, and the discussion in the streets and alleys was endless:

"Is the Night Yama here?"

"I don't know, but I'll come sooner or later, so it's definitely right to take the place first."

"Someone just said that I saw Jiang Zahu on West Street, is it really fake?"

"What is Jiang Zahu, I heard from the people over there that Sun Lao Sword Saint is here, and he didn't show up......"

"This group of masters is really well-informed."

"This is not nonsense, the hegemonic character of the rivers and lakes, who doesn't have any connections......"

……

In an inn in the city, Luo Ning and Qing He were still resting in the room.

Xue Baijin pretended to see too many things in his heart, he couldn't sleep much, he woke up before dawn, and at this time he was walking slowly on the side street wearing a hood, listening to all kinds of news from the rivers and lakes, and thinking about what to do in the future.

Yunli and Night Terror Hall are obviously in love, and they will definitely have to talk about marriage next, and she, the master who has done something wrong, should also restrain herself from the precipice and completely forget the past.

But as the female elder of the tavern said, her hesitation until now shows that she has a deep affection, and drawing a line is just self-deception.

can't give it up now, and when the child is born and has an emotional tie with each other, it will be even more impossible to give up, even if she doesn't want to, it won't be long before she will still do something wrong.

At that time, Yunli was already a daughter-in-law, and she, who was the master, was found secretly eating......

"Alas......"

Xue Baijin's personality is relatively lonely and cold, and he is not very good at dealing with emotional problems, so he is full of confusion at this time, and he doesn't know what to do in the future.

"Mother, I want this~"

"I've bought you a bunch of them, and you don't want to play, let's go."

"No, I'm going to ......"

……

As he was walking, there was a sound of conversation in the street.

Xue Baijin looked at it in a blink of an eye, and could see that there was a small stall on the street, with rattles, small wooden swords and other things hanging on the shelf, a little girl standing in front of the shelf, looking at various toys with bright eyes, and behind her was a woman dressed in rivers and lakes, with her hands on her waist and helpless eyes.

Because of the impermanence of the rivers and lakes, there are not many people who take their children to the rivers and lakes, but the official city is equivalent to a safe zone, and there is Fengguancheng pressed on the top of the head, no one dares to do evil here, and there are many people in the rivers and lakes who come to see the world with their children.

Xue Baijin stood alone on the side of the street, and after looking at it for a while, his hand subconsciously touched his stomach, he should have thought of the scene of taking his daughter shopping in the future, and his heart was really complicated, but not only why, but he also felt that this scene was quite happy.

After waiting on the side of the street for a while, the little girl was content to take the rattle and bounce away to the sound of 'ding dong'.

Xue Baijin thought about it and walked to the shelf, picked up the red rattle on it, and shook it back and forth twice.

Ding Dong Ding Dong ~

The stall owner was an old woman, and when she saw this, she smiled and said:

"Bought for the kids? How old is the baby? ”

“……”

Xue Baijin's red lips moved slightly, obviously not easy to answer this question, so he wanted to say that he would take a look.

But what she didn't expect was that before she could speak, a clear voice came from behind her:

"I'm just pregnant, buy some and go back and prepare."

"Yo ~ that's congratulations......"

?!

Xue Baijin was shocked, and at first he thought he had heard it wrong, but when he looked at it, he found that a sunny and handsome cheek was not far away, raising his hand to choose a toy, as if he had been walking in front of him all the time!

"You ......"

Xue Baijin secretly followed out on this trip, and did not tell the Night Terror Hall, at this time, he was suddenly caught on the street, and he was still here to choose baby supplies, how to hang on his face, reacted, turned his head and wanted to leave.

"Huh!"

Night Terror hurriedly pulled Bingtuo Tuo, first bought a small rattle for money, and then walked in front of him and asked:

"When did you come over? What about Ning'er and Qinghe? ”

Xue Bai's cheeks under the brocade hat were obviously red, but his expression was quite cold:

"It has nothing to do with you, I'm just going back to Nanxiao Mountain and coming here for a walk by the way. Who told you to find it? ”

The night terror hall did not specifically look for it, but the boat arrived in Guancheng and anchored by the river, he was curious for the first time, so he stood on the deck and looked, but when he looked at it, he found such a big ice mound, wandering alone among the crowds.

At this time, he was not happy to find that Bingtuo Tuo was caught, and Night Terror explained:

"I didn't want to bother, I just came to see the world and accidentally bumped into ......"

There were people coming and going on the street, Xue Baijin and Night Terror Hall pulled and pulled, obviously a little embarrassed, so he turned around and took Night Terror Hall into the alley.

I haven't seen Tuotuo in the night terror hall for a long time, and I miss it in my heart, and when I see the sparsely populated place, I naturally want to put my hand on my waist.

But unfortunately, after Xue Baijin entered the alley, he turned around and pressed the night terror hall hand down, with a serious look in his eyes:

"What the hell do you mean?"

The night terror hall couldn't see Bingtuo's expression clearly through the curtain of the hat, and said a little dazedly:

"I'll just hug ......"

Xue Baijin inhaled slightly: "You are already in love with Yunli, so you shouldn't be thinking about me, do you understand?" ”

Night Terror Hall knows that it shouldn't be, but the children are all there, so he can't do without Bingtuo, right? Walking with a pleasant face around the shoulders at the moment:

"I was about to talk about this."

Xue Baijin wanted to twist his shoulders, but when he heard this, he stopped again and walked forward with him:

"What do you want to say?"

Night Terror felt that he was a little thick-skinned, but the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't escape it, so he thought about it and said:

"Last night, Yunli and I were on the boat ......"

“?”

Where is Xue Baijin interested in listening to the details of the night terror hall arching her cabbage, and said coldly;

"I know you've ruined the clouds."

"Huh? I didn't spoil ......."

"That's not a bad deal?"

Night Terror thought about it carefully, but it was actually a waste, and he nodded at the moment:

"I was asleep and somehow ......"

Xue Baijin's eyes were slightly cold: "You said it yourself, what are you going to do next?" If you are ashamed of Yunli, don't blame me for not remembering the past. ”

Night Terror Hall sighed lightly: "Yunli asked me to propose to you, um......"

Xue Baijin was slightly stunned, and then pushed the hand holding his shoulder away, keeping a little distance:

"Yunli is interested in you, you also like Yunli, and it is a good thing to be a good match with each other, so naturally I will not object to ......"

Night Terror Hall knew that Bing Tuo Tuo would not object, but he obviously would not be a little rich, so he turned around again and held his shoulders with both hands:

"Can you marry me too?"

“?!”

Xue Baijin was obviously silent when he heard this, and looked at the night terror hall through his hat, his eyes became extremely complicated, and he was a little ashamed, and he held back for a long time before responding:

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Yes. Well...... It's for you to ...... with Yunli."

"You can say such immoral things?!"

Xue Baijin's clothes were undulating, and he said with some shame:

"Even if I'm pregnant with a child, there's no way but to let you, the thief, succeed. What about Yunli? If she knew......"

Night Terror Hall raised his hand to hug Bingtuo Tuo, and said cheekily:

"It's me who is bad, I am indeed a pervert. But it's already like this, I can't help it, I can't leave you alone, I'm sorry Yunli you didn't agree, let alone me. In fact, Yunli has already guessed something, and she is very sensible. If you choose to die alone for Yunli, then she will definitely not be able to let go of the grace of years of nurturing. Otherwise, I will be the wicked man, and I will explain ......"

"Why are you so thick-skinned?"

Xue Baijin saw that the night terror hall still wanted to even end the pot, and his heart turned over the river and the sea, but he didn't know what to say. She gritted her teeth and said:

"I don't agree."

Night Terror Hall knew this, hugged Bingtuo, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only say:

"Why don't we make a bet, if I can win Fengguan City, you will give me a chance, okay?"

Xue Baijin didn't expect Night Terror Hall to be able to say this, if she agreed, Night Terror Hall really won, wouldn't it be the same as Xuanji Zhenren's family of three?

But she didn't agree, the current situation was indeed here, she knew that she couldn't let go at all, and she couldn't delay Yunli, the dilemma couldn't be dragged on all the time, right?

No matter how powerful the Night Terror Hall is, the chance of winning Fengguan City is less than one percent, if this can be won, then it can only be said that the will of heaven is so......

Sigh, can't give in, can't give in......

Xue Baijin's heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't say anything for a long time.

Night Terror leaned into his ear and said, "It's decided, I will definitely give up my life......"

"Who told you to give your life a gamble?"

When Xue Baijin heard this, he came to his senses and said solemnly:

"What kind of character Fengguancheng is, you don't know it, if you can win desperately, you will be pulled down a long time ago. You...... You are just asking for advice this time, people are seniors in the rivers and lakes, you must be in awe, and you must also remember martial virtues, and don't be anxious in front of the world......"

Night Terror felt the concern between Bingtuo's words, and said softly:

"I know that I will definitely find a way to win, and if I can't win, I will go back and continue to practice, and come back next year until I win. You'll give me another chance after you win, okay? ”

“……”

Xue Baijin felt that the possibility of winning a battle was extremely low, and the matter had come to this point, and dragging it out from the beginning to the end was the only choice at present, and in the end he could only say:

"If you can replace Fengguancheng and become the new number one in the world, you have the final say in this world, what if I don't agree at that time?"

Seeing that Tuo Tuo was relieved, Night Terror couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and kissed him on the face through the hood.

Xue Baijin wanted to dodge, but she hadn't seen her for many days, Ning Er and Qinghe couldn't sleep all night thinking about her lover, why didn't she finally close her eyes and put on a look of helplessness but resignation.

However, as the night terror hall lifted the curtain, and when the two lips met, a voice came from afar:

"Ahem~"

Night Terror hugged his daughter-in-law and pouted, because there were already many people on the street outside, and he didn't pay attention to the movement in the distance. Hearing the sound of coughing, he quickly let go and stood up straight, making the appearance of looking at the scenery.

Xue Baijin was also startled, and hurriedly took a step back, looking into the distance, wanting to see who was so bold and bad at night.

As a result, I found that in the depths of the alley, there was a small wine shop, and there was a wine banner with the word 'night' hanging outside.

?!

After Xue Baijin came back last night to pay for the wine, he chatted in the tavern for a long time, and then found an inn nearby to stay, and then wandered around the street outside, and he really didn't notice that he came here again.

Hearing the coughing sound of the female shopkeeper, Xue Baijin naturally realized that he had been found in an underground relationship, and he was embarrassed in his heart, and he turned around and wanted to leave.

But when the Night Terror Hall saw the wine banner with the word 'night' in a blink of an eye, it was quite unexpected, and pulled the ice tuo and walked over:

"This wine shop is quite special, and the female shopkeeper in it seems to be a master."

Xue Baijin's face under the hat was already red, and he grabbed the night terror:

"I went last night, the female shopkeeper saw me, don't go over......"

As he spoke, the curtain of the tavern was lifted, and then the shopkeeper, who was still charming, walked out of it, and looked at it with her eyebrows crooked:

"Girl, here you go again?"

“……”

When Xue Baijin saw the female shopkeeper, he was naturally embarrassed to run again, coughed lightly and suppressed the miscellaneous, and tried his best to walk over without panic:

"It's just going around, it's one of my ...... A friend. ”

The female shopkeeper looked at the night terror, because she saw that Xue Baijin was thin-skinned, but she didn't break it:

"Yes, you've just warmed up some wine, why don't you come in and have a couple of drinks and talk?"

In front of outsiders, the Night Terror Hall was naturally very serious, and when he came to the front and back, he made a salute:

"I didn't pay attention to it, and I disturbed the shopkeeper. Anyway, the shopkeeper is also surnamed Ye? ”

The female shopkeeper glanced at the night terror, then looked at the weapon wrapped in black cloth behind her waist, and thought for a while:

"Not really. When I opened the door, I asked the master to mention a word, and I didn't know what it meant. ”

"Really?"

Night Terror Hall was skeptical, but the female shopkeeper said so, so he naturally didn't ask in detail, and followed Bingtuotuo into the small wine shop, and when he raised his eyes, he found a knife hanging on the wall.

The knife is three feet three inches long and is also straight, but the scabbard is white, and the workmanship is very exquisite, but it does not look like a murderous weapon, and it has not been used for a long time.

Born as a swordsman in the Night Terror Hall, he was naturally interested in knives, so he came to the wall and looked:

"This is the style of the broken blade, the workmanship seems to be from the old man Zhou of Shuiyun Jiantan, and the shopkeeper seems to have walked a lot of rivers and lakes before."

The shopkeeper stood on the stove and laughed at this:

"The young man has good eyesight. When I was young, I drifted south and north for ten years, and I went to a lot of places, and now I can see through it. ”

Night Terror Hall shook his head and said: "The female shopkeeper is not old at all, I look at it as if I am in my thirties, if I am really old, then the martial arts will be almost transcendent." ”

"Girl, your friend is sweet-mouthed, you have to take care of it in the future, otherwise the family will not be ordinary in the future."

Xue Baijin felt that this female shopkeeper was really accurate, and directly pulled the Night Terror Hall to sit down:

"Can you say a little less?"

Night Terror Hall just told the truth, and when he saw that Tutuo was unhappy, he shut up, took the wine jug from the female shopkeeper, and helped pour the wine.

After the female shopkeeper brought the wine, she did not leave, but sat down opposite and looked at the weapon on the waist of the Night Terror:

"Shaoxia is also a swordsman?"

The night terror hall also poured a bowl of wine for the female shopkeeper:

"Yes, I used to run around in Liangzhou, but now I run around."

"Can I show the knife to my aunt?"

"Uh......"

Night Terror Hall hesitated for a moment, but he didn't hesitate, and untied the dragon knife wrapped in black cloth and put it on the table:

"Isn't Night Terror Hall famous now, I also found a similar knife on the rivers and lakes, and the workmanship is quite good."

The female shopkeeper took the saber with both hands, opened the black cloth, and the old knife with brass decoration appeared in the bottom of the eye.

Cha~

The female shopkeeper took out two inches of the knife and looked at it carefully, with a little emotion in her eyes, but it was more of a nostalgia after seeing through everything in the world, and after being silent for a while, she nodded with a smile:

"It's quite similar, the knife of the overnight hero, how can it be so ordinary, you should have been deceived by profiteers."

"I guess so."

Night Terror saw the female shopkeeper hand the knife back, so she put it in her hand.

Xue Baijin sat in front of her, always feeling that the female shopkeeper looked at her with the wrong eyes, and wanted to explain two sentences, but the children were all there, what else could they explain, and in the end they just picked up the wine bowl:

"I'll give the shopkeeper a drink."

"Hehe~"

The female shopkeeper smiled lightly and raised her wine glass in return:

"There are too many men and women coming and going in the official city, but there are really few who can only come together in the end. You are still together, you have to cherish the moment, and don't be distracted by the wind and waves in front of you. When you live to my age, you will find that no matter how big the waves in the past are, they are just a small threshold of fate, there is nothing that cannot be overcome, and people are together is the most important thing......"

Seeing that the female shopkeeper helped persuade Tuotuo, the night terror hall naturally picked up the wine glass:

"Then borrow the shopkeeper's auspicious words."

The female shopkeeper picked up the wine bowl: "You can treat other girls well, you look like a chivalrous man, but in fact, she is articulate and thick-skinned, no wonder you can turn such a good girl back." ”

Night Terror Hall was found just now, and it was difficult to explain at this time, so he punished himself with a cup.

After the female shopkeeper drank a bowl of wine, she glanced at Xue Baijin a few more times, and thought about it, pulled out a wooden hairpin from the bun and inserted it into Xue Baijin's hair.

Xue Baijin was naturally stunned when he saw this: "Shopkeeper, what are you doing?" ”

"I wish you all the best in the end. It's not a valuable object, every time a couple comes here for a drink, I'll give one, don't dislike it......"

Night Terror Hall raised his eyes and looked at it, it can be seen that the hairpin is made of mahogany, it is indeed not expensive, but the overall look is quite special, it seems to be cut with a knife, the visual knife method is quite average, and the time should be quite many years, obviously not done casually. Seeing this, he also spoke:

"This thing should be the shopkeeper's belongings, I wish we understand it, but this really can't be ......"

The female shopkeeper shook her head and said: "Meeting is fate, sending it to your confidante, not to you, are you still misunderstanding?" ”

"Well, the shopkeeper laughed."

"Okay, take it, it's an agreement. If the girl gets separated from this young man one day, come over and return the hairpin to me, and let's open a tavern here together. ”

Xue Baijin originally wanted to take it off, but when he heard this, he hesitated. After all, she is indeed a little confused, and she really doesn't know if she can grow old with Night Terror Hall in the end.

If there is really no chance in reality, it is not a good place to come here to live in seclusion and report to the group to keep warm with the female shopkeeper who is also sad.

For this reason, Xue Baijin hesitated for a moment, but still bowed slightly:

"Thank you."

"Thank you, I just hope that a lover will eventually become a family, and you can be happy and grow old with your lover, so that you can be worthy of my heart."

After the female shopkeeper finished speaking, she got up and said:

"Okay, let's talk, I'll fry two dishes and serve you wine."

Seeing this, Night Terror hurriedly said: "Eh, this is too polite......"

"What kind of politeness is this, if you want to collect the cash, you take the girl to drink, is it possible that you are reluctant to order food?"

"Uh......"

Night Terror thought about it, and had nothing to say at the moment, so he watched the female shopkeeper enter the backyard before continuing to drink with Tuotuo......

——

Soon after, the man and woman walked out of the tavern and out of the alley.

The female shopkeeper stood at the door of the tavern, watching the two drift apart, until the figure disappeared into the alley, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile.

The so-called rivers and lakes are nothing more than the words 'love and hatred', generation after generation of people have been working hard for this, and they can't extricate themselves from it, but there are few people who can get a good death.

As a person who has come over, looking at the children of the rivers and lakes today, it seems that he is looking at himself back then, and he is also watching the reincarnation one after another.

The shopkeeper stared for a moment, then returned to the restaurant, took the knife off the wall, looked at it carefully, hung it on her waist again, and then opened the curtain.

But as he was about to leave, footsteps sounded from the alley:

Stomping~

Boom~

The female shopkeeper looked up, but saw an old monk in a robe, holding a brass Zen staff, walking from the other side of the alley, and after seeing her, she raised her hand and performed a Buddhist salute:

"Amitabha."

Seeing this, the female shopkeeper stopped at the door and responded:

"You're a monk and you don't drink, what are you doing here?"

Shenchen Zen Master came to the wine shop with a brass Zen staff and responded kindly:

"Just meet the old man. picked up the knife and entered the rivers and lakes, looking at the appearance of the donor, the knot in his heart has been let go? ”

"It's been put down a long time ago. You kept saying you couldn't let it go, but now? ”

"Ugh."

When Zen Master Shenchen heard this, his eyes showed a little envy, and he raised his eyes to look at Longmen Cliff:

"The poor monk followed the master's teachings, always wanted to let go of his obsessions, and also enlightened countless younger generations. As a result, in the end, the younger generations who had been enlightened all let go, but the poor monk himself has always been an idiot. At present, it seems that I will not be able to go to the other side of the mountain in this life. ”

The female shopkeeper said: "You have escaped into the empty door since you were a child, and you have never entered the world, where did you come from?" When you have loved, hated, and regretted, you will naturally see it. ”

Monk Shenchen shook his head and smiled: "The donor's words are also reasonable, but at this age, there is no chance, continue to be an old bald donkey who eats fasting and recites Buddha, at least he can leave a reputation that is not too bad." ”
