Xu Huaigu left Yifu, so he went with Li Zi to inform Yu Qin and Pingcui of the reunion in Longfeng Building tonight.

Yu Qin's side was very smooth, Yin Zishi also wanted to come and join in the fun, Xu Huaigu thought that Huang Shan was not that afraid of life, so he also called him by the way.

However, Xu Huaigu encountered some trouble on Pingcui's side. Xu Huaigu asked the stall owner about Pingcui's family's residence, and then led the group to visit.

Yu Qin was careful, and felt that Pingcui was a secular family, and she still had to have the etiquette of a secular family, and it was not good to visit empty-handed, so she bought some fruit cakes on the street and brought them with her.

But despite this, the group still ran into a wall at Pingcui's mother. Pingcui was young back then, and it was okay to run around, but now that she is older, she is almost at the age of getting married, and she goes out to play with outsiders uncontrollably, afraid of gossip from the neighbors around her.

Xu Huaigu had good things to say to her for a while, and Ping Cui herself especially wanted to go, plus for the sake of the gifts Yu Qin bought, her mother finally let her go, but she also told her carefully to come back early.

In fact, her mother's mind is also good. The girls of ordinary people's families are not happier and more comfortable than Xu Huaigu and their group of monks, chic and freewheeling, in this world, getting married is still the top priority in the girls' lives, and they can't be cautious.

After the group was ready, they were ready to go to Longfeng Building in the evening. Xu Huaigu didn't plan to tell Pingcui Zuoqiu about his death, mainly because he saw Huang Shan's heartbreak, and he couldn't bear to see the carefree little girl cry again because of this.

The night has come quietly, and today's celebration is no longer as noisy as it was back then, the surrounding streets are deserted, and there are few guests in the restaurant.

This city is like a person who has swayed through its youth, and is gradually entering its twilight years. Longfeng Building is still the same as many years ago, a three-story wooden building, with red lanterns hanging on the corners of the eaves, but there is no longer the festive feeling at the beginning, the red of the lanterns is fiercely red.

The sound of silk and bamboo in the building is faint, and there are very few guests watching the play on the first floor, and no one will compete for a seat in the front row anymore, because they don't even sit in the first row, and no one will spend a lot of money for the play on the stage.

When the group walked into the building, the shopkeeper lost his usual enthusiasm, but walked forward slowly, and asked weakly: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to sit in the lobby or the private room?" The private room charges an extra tael of silver. Xu Huaigu replied: "I want a private room on the second floor, and I want two pots of good tea." The shopkeeper led the group to take a seat, and Xu Huaigu sat in the seat by the window.

Everyone ordered dishes and asked Xu Huaigu what he was eating, Xu Huaigu only said casually, and everyone asked for a few dishes from the restaurant's signature.

Before the food arrived, another maid came in with tea, and Xu Huaigu took a sip lightly. The taste of the tea is not as good as in previous years.

But this is also a reasonable thing, even the tea in Lin Cangyang's mansion is much less, not to mention the tea in this market, so it can only make do.

The shopkeeper came in to serve the food, Huang Shan stopped him, and said, "The best wine you have here, come to the two jars first, remember to ask for the best, there is no shortage of money." The shopkeeper nodded in agreement, and soon the wine came, and Xu Huaigu poured a bowl by himself.

He only took a sip and his brow furrowed. Huang Shan also tasted it, and his expression suddenly changed, he spit the wine on the ground in one gulp, smashed the bowl on the table, and scolded: "What a thing!" Definitely mixed with water! After that, he angrily asked the shopkeeper to come in and ask for an explanation.

Xu Huaigu sighed, hurriedly grabbed him, and said, "Forget it, look at the door that will be closed soon, what to do with their general knowledge, don't ruin your own fun." Huang Shan hurriedly said: "But this wine is really undrinkable!" What is this meal without alcohol? Xu Huaigu said soothingly: "Don't worry, I still have some good wine here, but there is only half a jar left." It's not much, but it's a good sake that you've never tasted. Xu Huaigu took out the wine that Luzhu gave him, opened the lid of the altar, and suddenly the crisp and mellow aroma of the wine spread throughout this small room.

Huang Shan was stunned when he smelled it, but Yin Zi was actually overjoyed, and couldn't stop admiring: "What a clean fragrance!" I have never smelled the aroma of this wine, and I am afraid that there is no such good wine at the banquet where the Fuyao Sect receives distinguished guests. Xu Huaigu, I'm afraid the origin of this wine is not simple, right? Let's hear it. Xu Huaigu smiled, got up and poured a bowl for everyone first, and the wine jar was empty.

He smiled and said, "Drink first, and I'll talk about it after drinking, lest if I say it, everyone won't be able to drink it." Xu Huaigu took the lead in getting up and raised the wine bowl, and the rest of the people also stood up and held the wine bowl high.

"Bang" bumped together, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. Huang Shan finished drinking the wine and was full of praise: "Good wine, really good wine!" I've never drunk such a good wine in my life, and it's second, and that's far worse than that! Xu Huaigu, how did you get this wine? I'll get some another day! Pingcui doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays, but this time she was happy to see Xu Huaigu, and everyone drank, so she was also very enthusiastic.

At this time, her cheeks were slightly red, and she had a sweet and indescribable taste in her heart, and she asked curiously, "Brother Xu, what is this?" I didn't drink any alcohol, it was delicious! Li Zi also agreed: "It's really an excellent elixir and jade liquid, it will definitely not be available on the market, and there must be a story about the origin of this wine." Everyone urged, and Xu Huaigu slowly smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes when I say it, the process of making this wine is not much simpler than cultivation." ”

"The grain for this brewing was cultivated in the garden by a mountain god himself. The water used to make sake is taken from the four flavors, which are the rain of the rain, the dew of the white dew, the frost of the frost, and the fragrant snow on the plum blossoms on the day of the light snow, which melt together. This wine was originally kept by the mountain god to drink for himself, but ah, by mistake, someone begged me to give me a jar, and I drank a sip less, which is absolutely the only wine in the world. Huang Shan was shocked by what Xu Huaigu said, and was stunned when he heard it.

Yin Zi suddenly regretted why he had just drunk it all in one gulp, and he should taste it more. He's still smashing his mouth, trying to keep the aroma in his mouth.

Li Zi smiled, and secretly said in her heart that Xu Huaigu had mixed well over the years, and Yu Qin was happy for him in her heart, but she also had some sadness.

Xu Huaigu, who used to be in the market with him, even had to eat carefully, couldn't come back after all.

Although it was bitter at that time, they were together all the time, not as they are now.

Only Pingcui had a bitter face and said worriedly: "Oh, this wine is so powerful, I don't even know, Brother Xu, you don't talk about it in advance." How much is this bite worth just now? Xu Huaigu took a sip of tea, sobered up and said with a smile: "It's just a sip of wine, it's just going into the belly, what kind of money can it be worth?" Take it out and sell it, no one wants it, drink it in the stomach, and the big guy will be happy for a while, but he won't change it! Everyone laughed.

The dishes are also slowly ready, everyone has no restraints, picking up chopsticks to pick up the dishes, and under the chatting during the banquet, Li Zi and Yin Zishi, the two newcomers, are also familiar with everyone.

Huang Shan couldn't help but talk about his experience in Middle-earth, and sighed: "Speaking of this medicinal herb that nourishes the soul, it is really hard to find, even if there is the slightest rumor in the market, there are a lot of monks to fight for it, often just take a step slower, and there is nothing." Although the things in Luoyun City are complete and have a reputation guarantee, it is just one word, expensive. However, there are some things that cannot be found in the market outside, and can only be bought in Luoyun City, and it is said that even the immortal soldiers have to be sold inside. ”

"How much does an immortal soldier cost?" Yin Zishi asked casually,

"Another day, I have money, and I want to add another immortal soldier." Huang Shan frowned and thought for a while, and said, "At least fifty colored beads should start." It is said that they are all to be auctioned, and there is no market, and some good immortal soldiers, such as ancient swords or magic robes, will be sold for more than 100 colored beads. Yin Zishi laughed and said, "That's still forget it, I've never seen so much money when I'm so big." It is estimated that a Nine Realms cultivator has all his belongings, but that's it, right? ”

"So how can you say that the immortal monks are good, there are naturally immortal soldiers in the sect that have been passed down from generation to generation and can be rewarded, and they can't afford to work hard or save most of their lives to buy them. Things in Luoyun City are so expensive, and I don't know how rich that city lord is. She wants so much money, can she spend it all? ”

"She's not asking for money, she's not asking for money, she's going to use it for preaching." After Li Zi finished eating a chopstick dish, the topic happened to fall to the place she was familiar with, and she smiled,

"If a monk of the Eleventh Realm wants to break through to the Twelve Realm, he must not only cultivate to reach the Twelve Realm, but also to preach."

"Preach? What is Sermon? ”

"Enlightenment, that is, to prove to the heavens that one's attainments on this path have reached the pinnacle of no one who has ever been seen before or since, and only in this way can one have the opportunity to break through to the twelve realms. As for the way of Wei Caiyi, the city lord of Luoyun City, it is the way of business. Now that the reputation of Luoyun City has spread all over the Central Regions, and business is also booming, Wei Caiyi is known as one of the monks with the best chance of breaking through the Twelve Realms. Huang Shan asked curiously, "Miss Li, how do you know so much?" Reading the book, Li Zi replied with a smile: "I was originally a member of the Middle Earth Sect, and I was fortunate enough to see Wei Caiyi, so I naturally knew it." Huang Shan also knew a little bit about Li Zi's good background from Xu Huaigu, but at this time, he only secretly admired in his heart, and didn't dare to ask more.

The group began to talk about other things, and somehow they talked about Pingcui's marriage.

Pingcui's face was even redder, and everyone coaxed again, so ashamed that her ears were red, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Xu Huaigu also laughed with everyone, but this reunion was not as good as it was back then, and Xu Huaigu didn't smile so naturally.

He looked at the faces of everyone at the table, there were new faces, but there were also missing old faces, and he seemed to be happy, but he still felt a little empty in his heart, missing a piece of something, missing a bit of charm.

The sound of the pipa was heard in my ears, the rhythm was slow, and the atmosphere was bleak. Xu Huaigu doesn't understand music theory, and he doesn't know much about this person's pipa and Zuoqiu.

I think that Zuoqiu Xun's attainments are higher, but this bleak pipa sound is also charming and intoxicating, like an elegy sung for Dayu Guo.

Xu Huaigu lifted the curtain and looked at the stage. A group of dancers danced around the central pipa girl, who wore a bright red dress and wore a veil to cover her face.

Such a familiar scene, Xu Huaigu sat in the same seat many years ago and listened to the exact same pipa.

Jun buried the mud under the spring, and I sent the world full of snow. The sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra has been babbling and singing for many years, and it has never stopped, but the people on the stage have changed one after another, batch after batch.

In fact, Xu Huaigu and they are not like the musicians on this stage? It's just singing those old dramas from the past and the present, and there is nothing new.

Xu Huaigu stared at the pipa girl on the stage in a trance, and the rest of the people were still laughing happily in the private room, and no one noticed his abnormal appearance.

Only Yu Qin followed his gaze and looked out the window, quietly holding his hand under the table, but didn't say a word.
