The master and apprentice traveled all the way south, eating and sleeping in the open along the way, and suffered a lot, and the pampered Chen Ying was even more miserable. The two trekked through mountains and rivers for more than ten days and came to the edge of the Yellow River.

The two let the horses graze, while the people stood by the Yellow River, looking at the river from heaven.

Liu Yuan was not in a hurry to cross the river, looked at the endless river, opened his arms, and chanted: "Jiuqu Yellow River is thousands of miles of sand, and the waves are blowing from the end of the world." ”

The wind blew through Liu Yuan's sleeved robe, the sleeve robe bulged, and he was dressed in white, which was really fluttering.

Chen Ying was not as interested as her own master, and said weakly: "Master, let's go eat first, I'm really hungry." ”

This is the third time in an hour that Chen Ying has said that she is hungry.

Liu Yuan pointed in one direction and said with a smile: "Girl, what do you think it is?" ”

Chen Ying looked in the direction Liu Yuan pointed out, and found a tavern by the Yellow River, Chen Ying was really pleased, and pulled Liu Yuan and galloped towards the tavern, not even caring about the horses.

The tavern is not far from here, and it would be nice to have the horses graze here and rest. Even if you don't feel at ease, you can just let Xiao Er come over and lead the horse for a while.

Liu Yuan was pulled by Chen Ying, and he didn't use his internal force to open it, but directly pulled Chen Ying back, and in her incomprehensible eyes, he performed a real light skill, and in just an instant, he was dozens of zhang away.

Chen Ying was so frightened that she just wanted Liu Yuan to let go of her, but she didn't expect Liu Yuan to take another step, and before she could react, the two had already arrived at the door of the tavern.

Chen Ying was frightened and frightened, and was angry: "Master, can't you slow down?" ”

Liu Yuan looked innocent and said, "But girl, didn't you say you were hungry?" As a teacher, this is also for you, if you arrive early, won't you be able to fill your stomach early? ”

Chen Ying was speechless.

That's right, but it always feels like something isn't quite right.

Chen Ying's eyes rolled around, changed the topic, and said, "Master, how do you know that there is a tavern here?" ”

Liu Yuandao: "Because before I went to Fanyang as a teacher, I used to come here." Speaking of which, the shopkeeper here is still kind to the teacher, girl, when you meet him, you should be respectful. ”

Before Chen Ying could answer, a man walked out of the tavern and said, "I said it, I owe you a favor." ”

The person who came was young, and he looked similar to Chen Ying, dressed in a black robe, which was a little incompatible with Liu Yuan's white clothes, and it seemed that he and Liu Yuan were inherently incompatible.

When Liu Yuan saw this person, he immediately made a lot of joy, and there was an unconcealable joy in his tone. Liu Yuan arched his hand at Zhang Mo and said, "Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's been good lately." ”

Zhang Mo said: "Thanks to Brother Liu's blessing, everything is fine." ”

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they fell into silence very tacitly, just staring at each other.

Liu Yuan has few words, Zhang Mo is even more withdrawn, rarely talking to people, at this time, as soon as the two meet, except for greetings, they don't know what to say.

Chen Ying looked at Liu Yuan, and then at Zhang Mo, her eyes kept going back and forth between the two, only to feel that this silence was a little terrifying.

After half a cup of tea, seeing that the two of them still didn't speak, Chen Ying, who was about to suffocate, finally couldn't help it, and said timidly: "Master, why don't we go in first." ”

Since Liu Yuan said that Zhang Mo was kind to him, I think the relationship between the two will not be too bad, even so, Chen Ying will not hide it.

Liu Yuan and Zhang Mo looked at each other speechlessly, and they were also a little embarrassed, and they wanted to speak several times, but they didn't know what to say. Hearing Chen Ying's words at this time, it was like a person who fell into the water and grabbed a life-saving straw and said, "Brother Zhang, are you welcome to us?" ”

Zhang Mo said: "The banquet has been prepared, please." ”

Liu Yuan walked into the tavern, and immediately saw a sumptuous banquet placed in the center of the lobby, there were no guests in the tavern at this time, there was no doubt that this table of banquet could only be prepared for Liu Yuan's master and apprentice.

Liu Yuanqi said: "Brother Zhang, don't you set up a banquet every day, just to wait for me?" ”

Zhang Mo glanced at Liu Yuan and said, "Don't be shameless, just you, you haven't been able to let me spend so much, you have set up such a table of banquets day and night, can't I open this cloud tobacco tavern?" ”

Liu Yuan said: "Then you found out the whereabouts of the two of us in advance?" ”

Zhang Mo said: "Don't guess, I did know your whereabouts, but I didn't know, but I relied on calculations." ”

Liu Yuan and the three of them sat down at the wine table, and Liu Yuan said: "Don't talk nonsense, you can calculate the whereabouts of the master of creation, but I'm afraid that the Tianji Lou will be choked enough, let alone you?" ”

Zhang Mo's face was always expressionless, but at this moment, a smile finally appeared: "Wen Tianji? He's still half an apprentice of mine. ”

Liu Yuan sneered and said, "Brother Zhang, you didn't make a joke like this, Wen Tianji is almost a hundred years old, and your roots are similar to my apprentice, can you be his master?" ”

Zhang Mo didn't bother to explain, and said, "Do you believe it or not?" ”

Liu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it." Brother Zhang, you saved my life last time, saying that you would repay me half of the favor, and the remaining half would be returned later. But I've been thinking these days, you and I don't know each other, when do you owe me a favor? ”

Zhang Mo said: "This question, you have already asked it last time, and my answer is the same, you don't need to know." ”

Liu Yuan said: "What if I want to answer with the remaining half of your affection?" ”

Zhang Mo said: "Then I'm afraid I can't do it." ”

Zhang Mo is very serious, not like a joke. Seeing this, Liu Yuan didn't want to study it in detail.

In short, Zhang Mo has no ill will towards him, and he naturally doesn't need to know now, maybe in the future, Zhang Mo will take the initiative to inform him.

Zhang Mo poured Liu Yuan a glass of wine and said, "I brewed it, taste it?" ”

Liu Yuan didn't rush to drink, but sniffed lightly and praised: "Good wine, it's too white and cloudy: 'Grape wine glow-in-the-dark cup, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately.'" 'Brother Zhang, this is wine. ”

Zhang Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "You are quite knowledgeable, yes, it's really wine, I named it 'Shadow'." ”

Chen Ying lowered her head and whispered: "Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow will become a trio." ”

Chen Ying thought that her voice was very soft and would not be heard by Liu Yuan and Zhang Mo, and she didn't want to wait for her to raise her head, so she found that the eyes of both of them were on her, and a flush appeared on her pretty face, and said, "Master, Senior Zhang, what do you guys do when you drink?" ”

Liu Yuan smiled: "Because girl, you're right." ”

Zhang Mo disagreed, and said: "Brother Liu, you are wrong, my word 'shadow' does not come from this." ”

Liu Yuan thought for a while and said, "Is there anyone else in the world who has the word 'shadow' in their poems?" ”

Zhang Mo said: "Naturally, there is, there is a poem that mentions: 'Stop the cup and look at the shadow, and wait for the invitation to rely on the bright moon.'" ’”

Liu Yuan was a little ashamed, and said: "I originally thought that I was rich and five cars, but in the end I was still arrogant, such a good word, but I have never heard of it, I don't know which genius wrote it, if I am still alive, I should come to visit." ”

Zhang Mo said: "This phrase comes from the Southern Song Dynasty poet Xin Qiji, it's not surprising that you don't know, maybe no one in the world can know it except me." ”
