Text 15: There is a guest courtesy, and it is auspicious
The less a person needs society, the more difficult it is to treat it with warmth. Ever since Wu Shu joined the Tide Pavilion, he felt as if his need for this ordinary society had been cut off. What he wanted was either in the Tide Viewing Pavilion or in the Temple. There is nothing to ask for, look at who is a pig and a dog.
Since then, he has finally realized that he has left his original secular society and entered another level of this society. It's like walking from a muddy path to a bluestone-paved avenue, and the kind of stability and steadfastness is indescribable. Previously, he needed to find a pool of water to wash the mud left on his feet, so he became the west seat of a disciple of a certain person in the Guanchao Pavilion, so he provided accurate information about Yuan Zhen's appearance. He washed his feet through the Tide Pavilion, but spilled a basin of muddy footwater.
Now, all he has to do is put on a pair of clean and comfortable shoes and walk down this avenue well. To others, the deputy envoy of Jishitang may be a gorgeous coat, but to him, it is nothing more than a fabric for making shoes.
To make a good pair of shoes, he also needed more materials, so he found Xiang Huaishan and Zhuang Yuntan.
"Brother Xiang, I've been waiting for a long time. β
"I'm here to find Zhuang Yuntan. β
"Oh, that's a real disappointment. β
Xiang Huaishan ignored Wu Shu, and stood outside the fence of Wu Shu's original slum dwelling and waited quietly. The leaves of the creeper on the fence were even more luxuriant, like a huge wave rising in the middle of the sea. Revisiting the old place, but standing here, there is one less person.
"Zhuang Yuntan, you and I awakened on the same day, but we were born on the same day and grew up together, although our parents are different, we have long been like blood brothers. Today, I am here to say goodbye, and secondly, I hope you have a bright future. β
Wu Shu smiled slightly, bowed slightly to Xiang Huaishan, turned around and walked through the door. So the place fell silent again. The wind rustled the leaves on the fence, and the creeper was so lush on the wall that it had long buried the traces of the green and black moss, and when it was blown by the wind, the sunlight reflected from the leaves was like a sparkling sea.
"Zhuang Yuntan, let's go goodbye...... I hope you cherish. β
After all, Xiang Huaishan still didn't remind Zhuang Yuntan that he had vowed to make Fushou Mountain blessed and long-lived, but just said goodbye calmly and left.
Since then, there has been one less Zhuang Yuntan by Xiang Huaishan's side, and one more Kuang Jixi by Wu Shu's side.
On February 13, Chonglong went to the north and benefited the west.
At noon that day, Fushou Mountain has the spirit like wolf smoke straight into the sky, opening the mind to Huaishan.
"The world has changed. β
Yu Guhuai was separated by a few tables, looking at the spirit and wolf smoke rising into the sky in the distance outside the window, and stayed alone on the bench in the dark corner of this restaurant, his clothes were messy, and his cups and plates were messy. The top floor of this restaurant is empty and lonely, like a knowledgeable and tried old pedant, the tables and benches are old, clean and neat, and the surface of the slurry formed by the polishing of the years is like glazing, which once reflected the ambition of countless high rollers. The cracked furrows between the wood grains were also polished round and thick by the placket and rag, and the black markings attached to them were not dirt, but perhaps the color of fireworks in the world that had been precipitated over the years.
Yu Guhuai likes it here because it has a unique temperament: old but clean, neat and casual, elegant and not lonely.
"The spirit is like a pillar, leading the world. Someone actually opened their minds!"
"This knowledge weapon, awakening yuan, enlightenment, pulse, rubbing, and greatization, cultivation is difficult step by step. What the hell, how can anyone in the slums be able to open their minds?"
"This spirit wolf smoke is green and yellow, unless there is a great opportunity, there is great perseverance, otherwise there can be no such scene. β
"Yes, this is the so-called 'green and yellow do not connect', the upper part is connected to the green cang, and the lower part is led to the yellow spring. It depends on what kind of fish he can catch after he enlightens his consciousness and returns to his divine consciousness. β
"Fish are not necessarily, disasters are certain. Another reason why this is called a lack of green and yellow is that the old knowledge has gone, and the new knowledge has not been born, which is the most dangerous. If there is no one to protect you, it is simply a big fish caught for someone else, and it may be intercepted at any time. β
"It's going to be lively, let's see if he can survive this. β
Yu Guhuai ignored the nonsense of the group of people who were close to the window a few feet away, sat up straight, threw the fruit shell in his hand on the table, drank the wine in the cup, and stood up slowly. Originally, Yu Guhuai should have been in the middle of this group of people for a long time, either talking loudly or mocking to the extreme. And he did. It's just that things changed a few years ago that this group of people couldn't understand - Yu Guhuai suddenly changed completely.
"Yo, isn't this the apostle of the Shengong Temple, Lord Yu, why are you so frugally dressed?"
"Lord Yu didn't go to pick the stars and the moon building, but came to the potato and fish hall where the poor and sour gathered for me to feast and drink, I really wronged you!"
"Lord Yu just lost Chijin yesterday and lost the frost cover, could it be that Lord Ling Zun cut off your pocket money?"
"Nonsense, the Shengong Temple has a profound heritage, how many artifacts are there?
"Yes, extremely. Compared with the purple ribbon that Lord Yu took out to please Miss Pei of Jueyuan Palace, this sword is really not worth mentioning. β
Yu Gu smiled faintly, straightened his shirt again, and pulled his sleeves. "Shepherds, ministers, deacons, and priests, you are in good order. Very good. After speaking, he didn't pay attention to these unexpected "old friends", and paced Shi Shiran downstairs: "I regret that I shouldn't have picked that thin willowββ"
The Apostle of the Pastoral Hall snorted coldly, turned his head and drank a glass fiercely. The apostle of the mission hall had a deep look in his eyes and stared at Yu Guhuai until he disappeared at the top of the stairs. The apostle of the Cardinal Hall smiled, but he had never seen Yu Guhuai. The apostle Si Ji did not say a word, nor did he say a word, but raised his glass to Yu Gu Huai and congratulated him from afar.
The apostles were full of people, and suddenly there was silence: today's Yuguhuai is different from the Yuguhuai of the past. The change is even more radical than it was a few years ago.
Yu Guhuai knew that these people were making fun of him when he was there, and he would calculate it himself first when he turned his head. In other words, it is the Jueyuan Palace, the Punishment Palace, and the Pure Soul Palace, and these three major halls do not take them in their eyes at all, including Yu Guhuai himself.
That's fine.
Losing Chijin and frost, Yu Guhuai was not depressed, but also a little secretly happy. If something is sent out, the result is not important, according to the old man, it is just a good fate on the premise of not offending people. It's just that I didn't expect that I did this thing so smoothly, and I couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"I regret it, I shouldn't have picked up that remnant of redβ"
He believes that this good relationship has been formed.
Yu Guhuai staggered on the long street, the wind puffed up his robe behind him, pacing in all directions as if he was a proud goose, and from time to time he could hum two sentences of drama in his mouth very standardly, if he could carry such a pot of old wine in his hand, maybe he would be able to drink it on the street. With his appearance, the people around him are no longer unusual, but no one dares to accuse, and no warbler Yanyan from Fireworks Willow Lane dares to provoke. Whoever is blamed will not turn out well, and whoever provokes will be missing. Although Yu Guhuai is prodigal, his father Yu Fansong is old-fashioned and cold and hard like a shuttle loom in the Shengong Palace. He didn't care much about his son, but he didn't allow those who had contact with him to go beyond the bounds. Not pruning branches, only eradicating weeds, this is the fundamental logic of his upbringing.
It's just that today's Yuguhuai is different, although the profligacy is still there, it no longer exudes a cold and brutal atmosphere from top to bottom, and there is no longer hysteria that may break out at any time. The kind of breath exuded by today's Yuguhuai is like stroking the clothes that have been washed away and just dried in the sun, as if the bottom of the pot that has been scraped clean with a brush is gently swept away. This wandering becomes a kind of mellowness and ease, a kind of inner peace and peace.
But for Yu Guhuai, the prodigal was just a cloak, and deep down, he was actually full of fear, especially the fear of being an apostle of the Divine Gong Temple.
Before fear takes root in his heart, Yu Guhuai enjoys the pleasure of this identity. One day, a spirit, this pleasure, suddenly turned into dancing on a deep pool covered with thin ice, gazing at the dark abyss at the bottom of his feet, only to realize that he couldn't even swim. At that time, Yu Guhuai knew that it was power that brought pleasure to himself, but power can also bring pleasure to others, in the eyes of real big people, there is no difference between himself and ants, if one day these people need to find pleasure from themselves, Yu Guhuai knows deeply how easy it will be.
Then he felt that the abyss beneath his feet was even darker. He didn't know what his father was thinking, but he decided to live a different way.
It was only when he swayed to the door of his house and saw a beautiful white firefly floating all over his body, and a snow-white cloth band wrapped delicately and densely wrapped upside down on the beam in front of the door, the fear in his heart began to churn again.
"This woman's figure is not bad!" When this inexplicable thought just came to his head, he slapped himself hard, tightened his clothes, wrapped his robe, and drilled towards the side door. Unexpectedly, the mummy leaned down from the beam of the room like a snake, stood in front of him, tilted its head and looked at him for a moment, and nodded at him kindly. Yu Guhuai didn't know what the white cloth was wrapping, but he could feel that this mummy was friendly to him, maybe it was because she was holding her own red supreme on her back at the moment, oh, it used to be her own red sumire.
"Hey, this ...... Uh, Daxian, uh, fairy, come to the humble house, it's really brilliant!haha!"
No one paid any attention
"Well, why don't you go in and take a nap. β
"Lao Ji, Lao Ji, what do you think of the door?! If you don't get over to me quickly, how can you snub your guests!"
"Take this fairy to Yu Baiyuan, take out my best tea, and brew it. β
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't grind!"
"What's more, yes, orange cake! Go get some fresh orange cake, soft and glutinous and fragrant, guaranteed to be the best with tea!"
Yu Guhuai was a little incoherent, and subconsciously clutched his clothes tightly, but when the snow-white cloth ribbon that seemed to be shining silver was wrapped around, he groaned in his throat, and simply let go of his hands, not even having the desire to struggle.
"You really have good eyesight, and this green scorpion will be given to you. β
"Anyway, I'm wearing the same clothes as you, and I don't know your respect yet...... Surname...... Big...... Big...... Daimyo. β
Although he was only halfway through his words, Yu Guhuai felt that the skin of his throat was bulging, as if there was a sharp sword tightly against the Adam's apple, and it was difficult to even breathe and swallow, but he still stumbled and said it completely. It's just that the other party's invisible face is fixed on him, obviously not wanting to answer.
"Joke, joke. In the next unaccompanied, unaccompanied. Feel free to wander around, feel free to do so. β
Yu Guhuai took five steps and made two steps across the vestibule, until he slowed down after bypassing the triple courtyard, holding his stomach and squatting on the ground: "Old Ji, do you think I look better like this?"
"Childe, the head of the house instructed that as soon as you come back, I will invite you to the living room, we are not afraid of wasting time. β
"You have to make me decent when you go to the parlor, isn't it rude to wear a shirt like this......? Ah, fairy, how much time can be wasted?"
"Why don't you take a few breaths?" Ji Lezheng thought carefully.
"How many breaths are you too long?"
"Or do you think it's short?"
