Hongchen Road is the road of life.

Well, it's more interesting to be an ordinary person's life.

The moment I opened my eyes in the morning, I was running for a living.

Or a peddler's pawn.

Or the teahouse junior.

Or pick up a hoe and become a farmer.

If you still have a little skill in your hands, it would be nice to become a chef or something.

Chen Luo also wanted to do the same.

Just get out of the house.

Keep your head up.

Look at the sun shining.

In the end, Chen Luo retreated again......

It's not that he's lazy, it's just that the money in his storage bag can't be spent for hundreds of years, and even if it's spent, isn't there still a White Dragon Daoist? There were a lot of shiny vulgar things in her storage bag.

Chen Luo has always hated eating soft rice.

But if there is soft rice to eat, he can't reluctantly accept it.

And the lives of these ordinary people are not necessarily bitter.

Man......

Poverty is a way of living,

Wealth is also a way to live.

There's nothing wrong with taking it easy.

In addition, the weather has been really hot recently, and Chen Luo is afraid of heat stroke, so it is naturally difficult to go out.

Fortunately, I have developed a good habit of planting trees in the past.

Years down.

The nutrition is sufficient, not to mention the many trees in the yard, and it is even more luxuriant.

Lying in the courtyard not only does not feel hot, but it is a little cool.

Cicadas chirp in the trees.

It's finally a summery atmosphere.

On the trunk of the tree, the white dragon lay there spitting letters.

Xiao Hei lay on his stomach under the tree, occasionally raising his head to look at Chen Luo, who was lying on a chair and holding a fan lightly.

Wagged his tail.

Finally I went down and went to sleep.

"It's been 28 years!"

Chen Luo sighed.

Half a year has passed since Lu Xuan left.

He didn't go anywhere.

It's all in Kyoto.

Gradually, I got used to the rhythm of Kyoto.

"The mole is singing, the earthworm is out, and the king melon is born...... After all, it's the day of the beginning of summer, no wonder, this person is getting lazier and lazier! ”

Chen Luo thought.

Said to the white dragon on the tree: "White Dragon Daoist, do you want to go to the Fuyun Restaurant to listen to the book?" ”

The white dragon fellow in the tree raised his head.

Boom.

But she turned into a fifteen, sixteen, or seven girl,

"Yes!"

That little black also stood up directly.

Circling around Chen Luo and the white dragon, he stuck out his tongue for a while, wagged his tail for a while, and stood up for a while.

Obviously, it was also interested in hearing about the Fortune Restaurant.

Chen Luo smiled.

These two guys, sure enough, like it there.

In the past six months, Chen Luo has been idle, and Chen Luo often goes to Fuyun Restaurant to listen to books.

There are knights.

There are also strange things.

There are more interesting stories about the mountains,

Those storytellers are much better storytellers than they are.

Naturally, whether it is Xiao Hei or Bailong Daoyou, they all like to listen to their stories.

"Then let's go!"

Chen Luo also got up from his chair.

Two people and one dog.

I went to the Fortune Restaurant.

Seeing Chen Luo's arrival from a distance, Xiao Er's greeted him.

"Master Chen, are you here? Or the old position, the old rules? ”

Chen Ye in the west of the city......

The name is unknown.

But he is also a guest of Fuyun Restaurant.

Be generous.

Likes to drink.

It's good to listen to.

Every time I leave, I can give a very generous tip.

Naturally, this little second is still the shopkeeper, and even many guests in the Fortune Restaurant also know about this Chen Ye.

"Yes, old position."

Chen Luo replied.

Xiao Er asked again: "The white girl is also the same?" ”

"Yes."

"Wang!"

Little Black barked.

Xiao Er suddenly laughed: "I understand, Hei Ye is also the same." ”

Whenever this happens, Xiao Hei is a little satisfied.

In half a year, Xiao Hei has grown a lot.

It's exactly the physique of an adult black dog......

It's strange to say.

may be because of the reason for following Chen Luo's side, and the reason why Xiao Hei's physique doesn't seem to stop growing.

These days, Chen Luo feels as if it has grown again.

Of course.

It's just a perception, and I don't dare to guarantee the specifics.

But when it was weighed, it did weigh three or four pounds...... Now Xiao Hei's weight has reached more than thirty pounds.

OK.

Not an exaggeration.

But Chen Luo still felt that it was better not to be too heavy.

Two days ago, Xiaobai wrote again.

It's lost weight again......

successfully lost weight from 200 catties to 225 catties.

It has increased by twenty-five pounds in half a year.

This fat reduction is really successful.

Upstairs.

Xiao Er led Chen Luo and them to the window position and sat down, and as soon as they came up, someone greeted Chen Luo and them.

"Chen Ye is listening to books again?"

"The White Girl is here too!"

"Ha, the white girl has been getting more and more beautiful lately."

"Wow!"

"I almost forgot about the black master, the black master is getting stronger and stronger."

Chen Luo also smiled and greeted everyone.

Soon.

A jug of wine.

A plate of beef, a plate of peanuts.

A plate of osmanthus cake.

And a cow bone came up.

The first two are Chen Luo's habits, and osmanthus cake is what Bailong likes to eat.

As for the bones......

Xiao Hei has been gnawing on it for a long time.

Looking at this scene, Chen Luo nodded happily.

It's great that everybody has something to gain.

Wine is daughter red.

Lao Fen sake is also the most popular liquor in Kyoto, and it is also the most sold.

But daughter red is now one of the four uniques in Kyoto.

As for the origin of this daughter's popularity, there is not much to say.

Some people say that it was prepared by the emperor for the princess in the past, so he named his daughter Hong.

Some people also say that the old people have hidden the wine for decades, and they only drank it on the day of their daughter's marriage.

Of course, there are other ways of saying it, and there are many kinds of words.

No one knows which is true.

There is one, but it is approved by many people.

It is said that when I brewed my daughter red, I chose the beautiful cardamom girl, brewed little by little.

The raw material of the brewing is still fermented by the cardamom girl with her red lips.

That's why the wine is so fragrant.

Not only the fragrance of wine, but also the body fragrance of a cardamom girl.

This wine was originally called women's wine, but later I thought that the name was not good, so I called my daughter red.

Therefore, it has been called this name for hundreds of years.

When Chen Luo heard these explanations, he fell silent for a while.

If he's not mistaken.

This daughter Hong's name seems to have been chosen by herself?

And if you take it yourself, you don't seem to think about it so much?

I just heard that Emperor Jianwu gave birth to a daughter......

So I thought, take this name, right?

Now even the cardamom girl is involved?

Still brewing wine in your mouth?

Is this wine?

Is this sure it's not saliva?

I wanted to say something, but in the end I didn't say it......

Everything has to have a good story to be interesting.

Daughter red so.

The same is true for tea.

The stories told in the inn today are somewhat new.

It tells the story of a monkey and seven fairies......

The white dragon listened with some taste.

Chen Luo also heard it with some taste.

It's another story related to yourself......

But this story was not only known to Xiao Xiangning in the past?

How can this old storyteller know now?

When I'm done, I'm going to ask......

Half an hour later.

After the storyteller finished speaking, Chen Luo called him, and after asking a little, he felt that things in this world are also changing.

The old man's surname is Lin ......

In the past, Taizu was a pen of the Great Zhou Hanlin Academy.

He was called by the Holy Queen to record a story.

The name of the story is: Journey to the West.

The story of the monkey and the seven fairies is from the journey to the west.

Later, this family fell in the middle of the road.

But this descendant has become a storyteller......

Chen Luo nodded, not saying anything.

No more than three generations of poor, no more than three generations of rich......

It seems that nothing in this world can escape this definition.

It's just that......

Xiao Xiangning......

The long-lost memories and faces surfaced in his mind, which made Chen Luo's heart fluctuate differently.

The little girl who was rescued by herself from the shore of the Royal Garden Lake.

The little kid who tortures himself every day.

Later the White Lotus Holy Maiden.

Because she heard her tracks, thousands of miles away, she abandoned the posture of the holy queen and also ran to the woman in Handan.

Which one......

A woman who dragged her elderly body and finished telling the story of the stone by herself.

"It's been two hundred years...... The old man has long since become dry bones, but I am still ......

This Kyoto is still the Kyoto of the past, but only your shadow is missing. ”

Chen Luo sighed in his heart.

No more talking......

Maybe she's reincarnated.

Maybe she's gone.

But even goodbye is useless.

After all, it's no longer the same.

"You're in a bad mood?"

Bai Long asked Chen Luo.

Although Chen Luo's face didn't show it, she could still feel it.

"Some emotion."

"What do you feel?"

"The white horse passed through the gap, and the old man was hard to find, and in the end, gradually, there was only himself."

The white dragon stopped.

Rise.

I took a look at Chen Luo.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Long said: "I will accompany you, I have a long life!" ”

Chen Luo was slightly stunned.

Then he laughed.

Stretched out his hand and rubbed Bai Long's head: "Hearing the words of Bai Long Daoyou, our family's mood is much better." ”

"Wow!"

"Okay, Xiao Hei will accompany you too."

Blackie wagged his tail.

swaggered in front of the two, and suddenly saw a mouse running by, and chased after it all at once.

"Why does it catch rats?"

"I don't know."

"Isn't that what cats only scratch? It's dog ......."

Chen Luo thought for a moment and replied, "That's a bit nosy. ”

"Yes!"

Soon.

Blackie is back.

Biting a rat in his mouth.

put it in front of Chen Luo.

Sticking out his tongue.

Squatting and looking at him,

The tail wagged a little happily.

"I don't eat rats."

Chen Luo said.

Xiao Hei looked at the white dragon again.

Bailong was a little disgusted: "I don't eat it!" ”

So Xiao Hei was happy.

Gollum gulped and ate the rat.

"Chen Luo ......"

"Huh?"

"I heard that one of your disciples is a cat demon?"

"Cat Lady, an elegant banshee, is also the most elegant cat I have ever seen."

"Then she'll love it."

"That's right!"

Just as a light passed by, it came towards Chenluo.

Chen Luo pinched.

That's a message.

"Whose Thousand Miles of Voice?"

"Cat Lady."

"Oh, what a coincidence!"

"It's a coincidence."

As soon as she was mentioned, her voice arrived......

Fortunately, I didn't say bad things about him behind my back, and if I did, I would be embarrassed.

It's just that when he knew the information in this transmission, Chen Luo sighed.

"Something's wrong?"

"Yes, it doesn't."

The white dragon was puzzled.

"Someone went to Yushan Academy and said that they were going to take someone away, but the academy didn't know how to choose, so they consulted our family."

The white dragon sighed.

In that case, it's really not a big deal.

"And how do you answer?"

Chen Luo smiled,

"Our family's answer is not important, what matters is how she chooses."

Chen Luo said.

Reached.

On the top of the sky, he pinched a ray of glow between his fingers, and then flicked it lightly, and the glow broke through the void and fled towards the sky.

After doing all this, the two continued to head home.

……

Yushan Academy.

There are people from Daqin who ask to see Ning Shu'an, the president of Yushan Academy.

The person who came was the prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the important ministers of the two dynasties: Chu Tunan.

This time, I came here for only one thing: to bring Ning Taiping back to Daqin and be the princess of the Daqin royal family......

College Lobby.

Chu Tunan and Ning Shu'an sat down.

"In the past, my Great Qin Shizi Ying was the proton of Great Zhou, and thanks to the help of Princess Yongle of Great Zhou, I successfully returned to Great Qin.

That Princess Taiping is my Daqin Princess, and now that the princess has reached the age of twenty, it is time to go back. ”

Chu Tunan said to Ning Shu'an.

Ning Shu'an did not answer.

Just silence.

After a long time, he spoke: "She and the academy are students of the academy, and they are more than old disciples, not the princess of Great Qin, let alone the princess of Great Zhou!" ”

"She is indeed a disciple of the master, but she is still surnamed Ying after all!"

"More than ten years ago, the family teacher said that there is no Xiao Taiping here, only Ning Taiping!"

"What my father-in-law said naturally makes sense."

Chu Tunan said: "But at that time, Princess Taiping was only a three or four-year-old girl, and she didn't understand what it meant... Now she's in her twenties...... She deserves to have a choice! ”

Ning Shu'an didn't answer.

It was also at this time that a woman came out of the door.

Woman elegant.

A blue dress.

Holding a book in his hand.

"Senior brother."

She said to Ning Shu'an.

A ray of light appeared, escaping into Ning Shu'an's eyebrows,

"This is the master's reply, isn't it?"

"Master Zundao, everything is up to her to decide, whether he, Yushan Academy, or you, there is no room to choose for her."

Ning Shu'an nodded. 、

Soon after, Ning Taiping came.

Now she has reached the age of 20 and has grown into a mature woman.

The face vaguely has the face of Xiao Xiangning in the past.

"I've seen Shizun, Uncle Shi'......"

She saluted Ning Shu'an and the cat lady.

Cat Lady nodded.

Ning Shu'an pointed at Chu Tu Nan: "That's Great Qin Chu Tu Nan, think about it, you know what's going on, right?" ”

Ning Taiping did know.

Her identity is not a secret in Yushan Academy, and everyone knows about it.

Chu Tunan was an important minister of the Great Qin Dynasty.

This time, I came to take her back to Daqin, how could I not know about this?

"Your teacher said that this matter is about your future and choices...... Whether it's Yushan Academy or anyone, there is no room for you to choose. ”

"You...... How to choose? ”

Chu Tunan has already knelt down on one knee,

"Minister Chu Tunan, please return to Daqin, so that the father and daughter can be reunited and return to their ancestors!"

Ning Taiping stood in place.

She fell silent.

looked at his master for a while.

looked at Chu Tunan, who was kneeling on the ground, for a while......

She pursed her lips, struggling inwardly.

Seeing this scene, the cat lady sighed slightly, took out the book, but read it.

Ning Shu'an also sighed slightly.

"In the past, all the people were full of people, please cut Changle, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty couldn't bear it, the master came to order, the old man entered Kyoto alone, and finally took you out of Kyoto!

The word Taiping is to hope that you will stay away, whether it is Kyoto or Daqin, you can finally go to Taiping!

And you have become the only disciple recognized by the old man! ”

"Master ......"

Ning Taiping opened his mouth,

was stopped by Ning Shu'an.

"Seventeen years ago, Shizun returned to Yushan to see you and went to Xiao Weining, hoping that you would have nothing to do with Xiao Huan from now on, but you could spend this long life peacefully."

Pity...... Or is this ordinary life not for you? ”

Plop.

Ning Taiping knelt down.

"Master, the disciple is ashamed of your and the teachings of the master, and you and the ancestor have disappointed."

"Not really!"

Ning Shu'an shook his head: "Everyone has their own aspirations, it's just that everyone chooses different ways, and there is no disappointment, but the old man has some words, and he has to make it clear to you."

After going down the mountain today, there will be no peace in this world, whether it is Xiao or winning, or Zhou, Wu and Zheng Wang, but only Ning! ”

Ning Shu'an said:

"This is the first, second, from today onwards, you are no longer a student of Yushan Academy, you will not be a disciple of the old man, let alone the grandson of the indisputable father-in-law, you still need to remember this, if you hear you talk about this, the old man will have to go to Yushan for the next time!"

"Three...... To go to Daqin, the journey must not be so simple.

If you go to Daqin, it will be dangerous for the court to fight and the royal family to compete for favor.

The emperor of the winning world is the Ming monarch, and the winning is now the prince of Qin, and your identity is naturally not simple.

Since you went up the mountain, you have not come down the mountain for 20 years, and the hearts of people in this world are unpredictable and difficult, and I hope you will see more, listen more, think more, say less, do less, and do less! ”

"You, go down the mountain!"

After Ning Shu'an said this, he closed his eyes.

Taiping kowtow.

Tears.

"Disciple Xie Shizun advised, in this life, you should remember three more and three less...... It's just that after today, the disciple will no longer be able to serve your old man.

I also hope that you can take care of your health. ”

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

She kowtowed nine times.

His forehead was covered with blood......

Then, under the leadership of Chu Tunan, he walked down the Yushan Academy.

"Shizun didn't say anything, she needs to break off the relationship with Yushan Academy."

After waiting for someone to leave,

The cat lady put down the book in her hand.

"The master doesn't say it, but this is what the senior brother should do, so let's go...... Her identity is no longer simple.

Shizun is reluctant to participate in the affairs of the court and the country, and he does not like trouble.

He doesn't say it, but as disciples, we shouldn't be ignorant. ”

His eyes were dark......

Looking at the peace that came down the mountain, I was reluctant to give up after all.

Twenty years of affection.

From being an infant to now a girl.

Ning Shu'an and her have feelings after all......

Today, this relationship is finally broken. 、

"Did the master say when he would come back?"

"He said that Kyoto was okay and had no intention of coming back......

"Well, where's the cat lady?"

"Huh?"

"Do you have any thoughts on going to Kyoto?"

Cat Lady is silent......

Long.

nod

"I haven't seen my master for a long time, but I miss him."
