After Hong Ran and Lu An finished chatting, Lin Sen suddenly came over and smiled.

Lu An said angrily: "What's the matter?

Lin Sen touched his beard, then pointed at Lu An and said with a wicked smile: "Boy, you have a great omen." ”

Lu An hurriedly scolded: "Wumu, what nonsense!

Lin Sen shook his head, "I won't tell fortunes, but I will look at your face, you little white face, boy, you must have a bad omen." ”

Lu An rolled his eyes and walked directly to the other side, ignoring him.

When Lin Sen saw Lu An walking away, he immediately felt a little bored, and hurriedly chased after him and said, "Don't go, wait until I finish speaking." ”

Lu An frowned, and asked rhetorically: "What are you waiting for, when you finish speaking, you can't die young as you say?"

Lin Sen suddenly replied in surprise: "You know all this?"

Lu An's eyes rolled, "If I had a sword in my hand, there should already be a hole in your body." ”

Lin Sen hurriedly hugged his body, and then immediately let go again, and said with a smile: "Who are you scaring about?"

"You can ask Lao Lin to help you look at your face, maybe there will be an accident, he is still quite accurate in seeing people. Hong Ran suddenly said at this time.

Lu An glanced at Hong Ran suspiciously, and then at the triumphant Lin Sen, but did not respond.

Lu An has always been skeptical about this so-called fortune-telling, although there is an old saying that is very good, it is better to believe it than not to believe it.

But Lu An couldn't believe it, especially this kind of old man of Shinto, just like the old Taoist priest he once met in Zuo'an City, for this kind of person, Lu An always thought that they were the so-called charlatans, and Lu An was indeed deceived by the old Taoist priest for a meal.

After Lin Sen got Hong Ran's affirmation, he didn't care about Lu Antong's disagreement, and directly brought his head over, kneading and pinching.

Lu An hurriedly escaped from his hands, with a depressed face.

Lin Sen coughed lightly, put his hands behind his back, smacked his mouth twice, shook his head twice, showed a look of pity, and then sighed alone.

Lu An was frightened by his style, "Pretend to be a ghost!"

Lin Sen shook his head and replied: "No, no, no, as the saying goes, it's better to believe it than to believe it." ”

Lu An's eyes widened directly, and he looked at Lin Sen in a daze.

Lin Sen immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and patted his head, "Look at my memory, I am old and old, I would rather believe it than believe it." ”

Lu An also sighed helplessly, and then said helplessly: "And then?"

Hearing that Lu An cooperated with him, Lin Sen instantly pretended to be pretending and said seriously: "Boy, what I said to you next is not to lie to you, what I said is serious." ”

Lu An sat on the donkey cart, nodded with drooping eyes, "Mmmm, you say it, I listen." ”

"Your kid's life should be pretty good logically speaking, but your life is very rough and bad, and there should be many disasters in this life. Lin Sen also summed it up.

Lu An nodded, "You still need to say this, but you still need to say about the ups and downs, Am I not miserable enough now?"

Lin Sen coughed lightly twice, relieved the embarrassing atmosphere, and said angrily: "Boy, listen honestly, don't always interrupt and disturb my train of thought." ”

Lu An nodded helplessly, and stretched out his hand to signal him to continue.

Lin Sen snorted coldly, and suddenly scratched his head and asked, "Where did I just go?"

Lu An sighed heavily and asked, "Why don't you forget it?"

Lin Sen was immediately angry, and said impatiently: "At a young age, so impatient, the days to come will be long, shut your mouth for me, listen to me, I just talked about ups and downs and disasters." ”

Lu An sighed, propped his head with both hands, and looked at Lin Sen.

"The kid didn't joke with you, what should come will definitely come, don't take it so seriously, otherwise you will definitely be disappointed in the future, think twice before you act, otherwise one of your decisions may plunge the five places into chaos, and you have to remember that the evil in front of you is not necessarily evil, and the good in your eyes is not necessarily good, because what you see is the surface, and the people in your eyes are the same, all the people you know are like this, what you see is what others let you see, not what he is, you must remember this. Lin Sen said solemnly.

After hearing this, Lu An felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and felt as if he had other meanings for what Lin Sen said, but what he said was a little unclear.

"Isn't that what you're talking about?" and the chaos in the five places?" Lu An asked directly with disdain.

Lin Sen raised his eyebrows, "The art of yin and yang, in fact, is like this, what is the meaning of explaining it?"

Hong Ran snorted coldly, "If you have the ability, you can explain it, and if you don't have the ability, don't say it with a high-sounding sound." ”

Lin Sen instantly shrank to the side and said in a low voice: "It's really impossible to say, but it's not bad, it's not good to say too much, it's just right now, no more, no less." ”

Lu An sighed, ignored Lin Sen, and was stunned on the side.

For the matter of being in a daze, Lu An really hasn't done it for a long time, and the feeling of emptying his brain is really relaxed.

Lu An changed to a more comfortable position, held his cheeks, and stared into the distance repeatedly.

The twilight sunset makeup is thick, and the gentle breeze makes people eyebrows.

Lu An couldn't help but smile slightly.

Maybe that's why I like to lie on a bamboo chair so much, and it's a day to lie down.

......

Lu An sat alone by the campfire, holding a branch in his hand, stirring the fire while he was in a daze, and the snoring of Lin Sen and the donkey kept ringing in his ears.

"Can't sleep?"

Hong Ran's voice suddenly came from behind him, and Lu An nodded, not surprised at all, because he had never seen Hong Ran really fall asleep, and he didn't know what he was doing, he never rested, and he cultivated and cultivated every day.

"Tomorrow we will meet a caravan, and then you can follow them. Hong Ran reminded.

Lu An was slightly surprised, but then smiled again and nodded, he was no longer surprised by Hong Ran's strange behavior.

Seeing that Lu An didn't seem to be interested in talking, Hong Ran was also silent and played with fire there alone.

At this time, Lu An suddenly took out two steamed buns, and then handed one to Hong Ran.

Hong Ran subconsciously took the steamed bun, and then looked at Lu An puzzled.

Lu An smiled slightly, and ate there, but the movements were very light and slow.

With this action, coupled with Lu An's frowning brows all the time, and that melancholy expression, Hong Ran felt a little strange, a strange appearance that was out of place.

Hong Ran glanced at the steamed bun in his hand again, shook his head puzzled, took a bite directly, and then chewed it in a big bite, soft and sweet.

"Doesn't it taste good?" Lu An suddenly asked.

Hong Ran nodded, "Lighter." ”

Hearing this, Lu An took out a small bag of dried radish made of yellow flowers from his arms and handed it over.

Hong Ran ate the dried radish, and it really had a different flavor, so he took a big bite and finished a steamed bun in two or three clicks.

At this time, Lu An suddenly muttered to himself, "I have eaten steamed bread for so many years, and it is really a little greasy, and now I am starting to worry about whether to dry radish when I eat steamed bread." ”

Hong Ran smiled unconsciously, he clearly felt that Lu An was a little wrong, or a little confused, he didn't say anything about it, and quietly waited for Lu An to continue to speak.

"I used to think that I was very satisfied with steamed buns, but now I am starting to be picky eaters, and I feel that steamed buns can no longer satisfy me, what do you say is the reason for this?" Lu An said and suddenly looked at Hong Ran.

Hong Ran smiled disdainfully, "Satisfied, eating a steamed bun can make you satisfied, then you are too unpursued, right?"

Lu An suddenly felt a feeling of playing the piano to the cow, and shook his head helplessly.

Hong Ran saw a trace of disdain from Lu An's actions, and immediately frowned, and said extremely dissatisfied: "Your sick appearance makes people feel very underwhelmed, do you know?"

Lu An asked embarrassedly, "Is there one?"

Hong Ran sneered directly, and said mockingly: "Don't think that just because you have read a book, you know a little reason, and you will show an indecisive and gloomy appearance at every turn, who will you show this appearance to? There is no sympathy in the eyes of cultivators, the strong are respected, and the weak are meat, this is a river and lake where the weak eat the strong, put away your poor picture that I don't know what to call it!"

Lu An thought about it for a while, nodded his head, and asked tentatively: "I just think the road is so difficult, you can even have such a choice to eat a steamed bun." ”

"How many miles have you walked? You dare to say that, you can't help but look down on the avenue under your feet, right?" Hong Ran continued to sneer.

Lu An thought for a moment and then asked: "I don't know if the path I am taking is right? When I walked on this road, one of my elders told me a few words, I think it makes sense, and I also want to follow what he said, but until now, I myself feel a little disappointed." ”

Hong Ran's body suddenly stopped, raised his head to the sky, and sighed in a low voice: "It's not just you, in fact, I'm the same, I'm very disappointed in myself." ”

The sudden change in mood made Lu An a little uncomfortable, and he didn't expect that he, who had always been very cold, had such a side.

"I know you're interested in me, and I'm wondering if I'm the person you think I'm thinking about, and now I can tell you that I'm the person you think I'm going to be, and I'm once from Craftsman City. Hong Ran suddenly smiled bitterly.

Lu An's eyes widened suddenly, and he said excitedly: "Sure enough, it's you!"

Hong Ran nodded, "Actually, it's not difficult to guess, Lao Lin must have told you my name." ”

Lu An nodded, "Well, at the beginning, I was really interested in you, because I didn't know you, but you actually took the initiative to save me, more or less definitely have something to do with some people, and my popularity is not good, I really can't think of any powerful friends, and then I thought of a possibility, except that the craftsman city seems to be really gone." ”

Hearing Lu An's salty and indifferent analysis, Hong Ran glanced at it disdainfully, "I don't think you're very smart, in fact, if that's the case, it's even a little stupid." ”

"Why?" Lu An wondered for a moment, being called stupid, no matter who it was, he would definitely be a little displeased.

Hong Ran explained, "I don't actually have anything to do with you, I didn't save you because of you, it was purely because you and I were the same kind of person, and I didn't have anything to do with others." ”

"The same?" Lu An was even more puzzled.

"You don't know me, it doesn't mean I don't know you, I've noticed you since the first time you went into trouble on the grassland, the grassland is very big. Hong Ran explained.

Lu An shook his head and denied: "That's not the first time, it's the second time." ”

Hong Ran raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of surprise, "Second time?"

Lu An snorted and nodded, "The first time was in Peicheng, which is not far from the Craftsman City. ”

Hong Ran suddenly realized, "Is that the time you killed two Five Realm cultivators by yourself?"

Lu An snorted, "That was the first time, but no one saw it, and what I saw was dead, and then I realized that it was called entering the evil, but it seemed that my entering the evil was different from others." ”

Hong Ran chuckled, "What's the difference, if you enter the evil, you will enter the evil, and there is no difference." ”

Lu An thought about it, he didn't seem to have seen others get into trouble, so he didn't continue to defend himself, but suddenly thought of what Hong Ran said earlier, "You said the same kind before? Could it be that you have also been in trouble?"

Hong Ran smiled slightly, "Otherwise, why do you think I became like this?" After speaking, he pointed to his eyes.

Even in the light of the campfire, these fiery eyes feel extraordinarily eerie.

Lu An could only nod in cooperation and didn't say anything.

The two of them fell silent suddenly, neither of them spoke, and the scene suddenly fell into silence, leaving only the snoring of Lao Lin and the donkey.

After being quiet for a long time, Lu An suddenly asked, "Will I be like you in the future?"

Hong Ran hummed softly, "If you want to become like me, then you will have no home, no friends, and no feelings." ”

"The price?" Lu An asked.

Hong Ran smiled and shook his head, "It's not the price, this is the best result." The tone was relaxed and slightly bitter.

"How so?" Lu An asked rhetorically, extremely puzzled.

Hong Ran replied slowly: "I said before that the best result is to stay incognito, spend your life honestly in a small place, put away your ambitions, and give up your avenue, which is the safest for you, and by the way, I also hope that the people of Taiyi Sect will not find you, this is the best choice for you, if you choose to become the same as me, then I can only tell you that it is the best choice for you to desire to have but not to have, in short, to give up." ”

"Why?" Lu An was still puzzled.

"Why? Because the path you're going to take will make you less and less like you, and you'll break everyone's hearts, and then when you're sober, it's too late for you to regret it. Hong Ran explained.

Lu An silently stopped talking.

Hong Ran continued to take care of himself: "My life is better than yours, but even so, in order to reappear in front of the world, I still paid a great price, this price is so big that I will make me tremble when I think about it, but this price is not affordable for everyone, you can't, and you are not qualified." ”

Lu An originally planned to get to the bottom of the matter and continue to ask, but seeing Hong Ran's confused eyes, Lu An immediately dispelled this thought, and instead said to himself:

"I used to be a small soldier in the city, and it was not easy to survive at that time, but after I survived, I realized that there are some important things in this world, even more important than living. ”

"A string of sugar gourds, a book, a claim, a tael of silver, all I owe them, or they owe me, but unfortunately, according to what you say, won't I pay it back, or will I pay it back?"

"Then I met my master, and he pulled me out of my life by hand, so that I had a second life, but unfortunately, now I know that my life is not in my own hands, but I have been walking towards the path they expected, why is this road different from what I expected?

"For most of the previous half a year, I followed an old man and a young man, slowly walked from the Han to the Great Zhou, along the way what they did, what they said and learned, in them I saw the real scholar two words, coarse cloth wrapped career, belly poetry and calligraphy, maybe the previous elders just want me to hold the sword at the same time, but also become that kind of person, right?"

"It's a pity, the previous incident made me wake up again, sometimes, the sword in the hand is better to use, some things may not work just by saying that you may not work, because you may encounter a dumb person, no matter how much of the full stomach, no matter how much of the person, in his mouth, at most will only spit on you, only the sword qi in the hand can let you have a good reason with him. ”

"To be honest, this bastard is really not as fun as stealing chickens..."

When Hong Ran heard the word dumb, he couldn't help but laugh directly, and looked at Lu An and shook his head, "If you hear what Zu Qiu hears, it's no wonder if he doesn't kill you." ”

Lu An also smiled, "Now that I think about it, the sword in my hand is very important, and the book in my arms is also very important." ”

Hong Ran suddenly smiled and said: "The fist of sword cultivation cannot be soft, and the sword of a scholar cannot be hard, it may be the same reason." After speaking, Hong Ran suddenly fell into deep thought, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile of memory.

Hearing this, Lu An couldn't help but look at Hong Ran in front of him, he had always been very rude, and he would say such a thing.

"Taught. Lu An said sincerely.

Hong Ran frowned, and said extremely unhappily: "Don't come to this set, it's annoying!"

Lu An immediately froze and nodded quickly.

"By the way, let me remind you again, Lao Lin's fortune-telling is really accurate!" Hong Ran said solemnly.

Lu An's brows furrowed instantly, but slowly showed a relieved expression, and nodded, I'd rather believe it than believe it!

......

Lu An and Hong Ran stood together, looking at the caravan not far away, and behind them was the donkey leading Lao Lin.

"You said you had a message to tell me before, what is it?" Lu An suddenly asked.

Hong Ran hesitated for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Are you sure you want to hear it? This is not good news. ”

"Since it's related to me, let's listen to it, it's related to me, sooner or later, it's better to know sooner rather than later. Lu An thought for a while and said.

Hong Ran's expression instantly became serious, "I don't know if it's true or not, there is news that I understand that it seems to be dead." ”

Hearing this, Lu An instantly twisted his head towards Hong Ran, his brows furrowed directly, and then he looked at him directly.

Hong Ran nodded and did not continue to stimulate Lu An with words.

Lu An felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, the wheezing voice became louder and louder, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, opened and closed, and his chest instantly felt as if it was blocked by something, Lu An felt very uncomfortable, scratched twice, and was still very uncomfortable, Lu An hammered twice, and the feeling of chest blockage was immediately a lot more comfortable, but he felt a salty taste in his mouth.

Lu An shook his head and smiled bitterly twice, his nose couldn't help but inhale, and his eyes opened hard to keep something from falling as much as possible.

Lu An wanted to restrain his emotions as much as possible, but his body couldn't control it, and his hands, which he couldn't place, were directly pinched together, even his fingers turned white, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Hong Ran ignored Lu An's changes, and comforted him, "You can choose the next path yourself, if you are unlucky, we may meet again." Then he turned and walked away.

Lu An snorted, took a deep breath, and said in a very low tone, "Thank you, senior brother." ”

Hong Ran stopped as soon as he took two steps, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then continued to walk forward until he disappeared into Lu An's eyes.

Lu An took a deep breath again, stood up to the sky for a while, endured his trembling body, and slowly walked forward...
