On the wharf of Dangang, two medium-sized passenger ships sailed into the port together, after the cable plate was erected, two white-haired old men came down from the ship, and after the two stood still on the wharf, they looked at each other, each raised their sleeves and shook each other.

"Yu Gong. ”

"Situation. ”

Both of them are over 100 years old, and they both became Tianxia's "scholars" 60 years ago, and now they haven't set foot in Ruiguang for more than 40 years. And this time I came here to prepare to participate in the "Shi Meeting" next year.

After Yu Gong saluted, he joked: "I don't want to be honest and participate in the scholars' meeting, I thought that you were just talking about everything as before." ”

Gong Gong glanced at him and said, "You old guy can come, why can't I?"

"Who's old?"

Yu Gong seemed to be angry, "You are still a year older than me!"

Of course, he said, "Isn't this just that I'm old, how can you not be old?"

Yu Gong glared at him and said, "Hurt others and hurt yourself, you old guy is still so shameless!"

Guo Gong sighed, patted his cheek, and said: "This face, I still want it, just with our old face, we can still cover one or two for the juniors." ”

Yu Gong said sarcastically: "Old guy, don't think too highly of yourself, you haven't performed Ruiguang for more than 40 years, who still remembers your face?"

The public said indifferently: "It's okay if you don't remember, although the face is not as handsome as when I was young, but my brain is not confused, and I can always give young people some bad ideas." ”

The two of them are here to ridicule me, but there is a large group of people on the dock to greet them, including many officials in high positions in the capital, and an old man in cloth clothes came out of the crowd from the inside, came up, and said excitedly: "Teacher Yu, Master Yu, the student has seen two teachers." ”

Yu Gong glanced at him and suddenly said, "It's Liu Zhan." ”

Liu Zhan said: "Yes, two teachers, the student has ordered his son to prepare a banquet in the mansion, and invited the two teachers to enjoy the light." ”

Besides, he squinted at him and said, "I know that your son is the acting officer, so you don't have to take it out and put it on your mouth." ”

Liu Zhan was a little embarrassed and said, "Teacher, that's not what the student meant. ”

Yu Gong waved his sleeves and said: "Don't pay attention to him, this old guy likes to ridicule people the most, he is unreasonable and ignorant of three points, and he happens to be hungry, so he will go to your house to disturb him, and by the way, see how Ruiguang is now." ”

Liu Zhan hurriedly took a step sideways and said respectfully, "Two teachers, please." ”

Time flew by, and soon it was December 30th.

Ruiguang City is full of lights everywhere, Taiyang School Palace gathered all the teachers and teachers in the school palace on this day, and set up a drinking banquet on the platform, and drank until the end of the time.

After Zhang Yu participated in the banquet, he pushed the invitation of a group of colleagues to enjoy the dance, and returned to his residence alone, he came to the top floor, looked at Ruiguang City in the distance, heard the sound of firecrackers from afar, and watched the scattered dazzling fireworks rush into the sky.

Miao Danjun came to his feet, looked at him, and then squatted down beside him.

At this time, a loud voice suddenly came from below: "Brother Zhang, are you okay?"

Zhang Yu turned around, walked to the edge of the top floor in a few steps, looked down, and said, "Brother Liu, why are you here?"

Liu Guang stood below, holding a celadon wine jug in his hand, raised it at him, and said, "Brother Zhang, I have a headache when I see the rules in the clan, and I feel bored when I spend the old year alone, so I want to come to you and have a few drinks together." ”

Zhang Yuyi arched his hand and said, "Brother Liu, please come up." ”

Li Qinghe immediately went down and opened the door, Liu Shijiao followed him to the top floor, and greeted Zhang Yu, and the two of them sat down under the canopy.

Liu Guang glanced at Ruiguang City, which was shrouded in lights in the distance, put the wine jug down, smiled, patted it lightly, and said, "Don't worry, I know you don't like to drink, I'll drink this pot of wine, you just drink tea." ”

Zhang Yudao: "Today, it doesn't hurt to drink a few cups. He instructed Li Qinghe and said, "Go and bring the jar of wine in the cellar." ”

Li Qinghe went as ordered.

Liu Guang's eyes lit up and said, "Brother Zhang, it seems that you have good wine here!"

After a while, Li Qinghe held a wine jar in one hand and a set of wine utensils in the other, walked up cautiously, and placed the wine jar on the lacquer case with a cushion cloth, and then slapped the seal. At first, I couldn't smell anything, but after a while, I felt that the courtyard was full of fragrant fragrance and intoxicating.

Liu Guang closed his eyes and smelled it, his cheeks were flushed, and his body couldn't help but shake twice, he opened his eyes in amazement and asked, "What kind of wine is this?"

Zhang Yudao: "I have never drunk the spiritual brew given by Xuanfu. ”

Liu Guang couldn't help but be interested, rubbed his hands, and said, "It turns out that there is such good wine, but this time it was Brother Zhang who touched it." As he spoke, he hurried to get his glass.

Zhang Yu stretched out his hand and stopped him, "Slow." ”

Liu Guang cast a puzzled gaze.

Zhang Yucheng said sincerely: "Brother Liu, you are not a cultivator, so your glass of wine needs to be mixed with warm water, otherwise you will get drunk and may not wake up in a few days." ”

"Water?"

Liu Guang's eyes widened, he couldn't help but smell the smell again, and shook his head helplessly: "It's too unsophisticated, it's too unsophisticated." ”

Li Qinghe took a wine glass, poured half a cup of warm water first, then picked up the wine jar, tilted it slightly, and saw a crystal jade line flowing down and falling into the cup.

Liu Guang waited for Zhang Yu to pick up the wine glass in his hand, and then reached out and grabbed the glass in front of him.

At this time, he thought about it, looked at the brightly lit Ruiguang City below, and sighed: "The sun and the moon are in the sky, and the light is out, after today, my Tianxia people have been based on this land for a whole hundred years......

Speaking of this, he looked straight, held the wine glass with both hands, and said: "This cup, I wish 'Tianxia will be forever, and all the people will be safe'!"

Zhang Yu also raised his sleeves, raised his glass solemnly, and said: "Tianxia is forever, and all the people are safe!"

The two saluted each other, both raised their necks and drank, then held their sleeves to show their glasses, and then put them down.

Boom Boom Boom ......

In the distance, outside the harbor, there was a steady stream of dull cannon fire.

Liu Guang looked at it and said, "This is the fleet of the Metropolitan Protectorate firing cannons to celebrate the New Year."

Zhang Yu nodded.

After almost half an hour, the rumbling of the cannon stopped, but this sound seemed to be just the beginning, and after a while, the sound of firecrackers could be heard in all corners of the city, and then the whole Ruiguang City began to set off grand fireworks, and brilliant fireworks accompanied by the sound of roaring and exploding, burst out over the city.

Liu Guang sighed and said, "Today is over, it will be the three hundred and seventy-fourth years of the Great Xuan Calendar, and I don't know when the Duhu Mansion will return to Tianxia." ”

Zhang Yudao: "It's not far off. ”

Liu Guang's eyes lit up slightly, his body moved forward slightly, looked at him and said, "Why did Brother Zhang say that?

Zhang Yudao: "The reason why the Duhu Mansion is desperate with Tianxia is because of the turbidity tide, and now this turbidity tide is continuing to subside, I believe that it will not be long before the obstacles above the earth boundary will be weakened to the minimum." ”

Liu Guang couldn't help but be excited, and said: "In this way, after the turbidity tide completely recedes, the Duhu Mansion can light the beacon fire...... Just speaking of this, there was a cold wind blowing, he was excited, the wine woke up a little, and his voice couldn't help but pause, hey, shook his head and laughed at himself: "The wine is high." He picked up the glass, tilted his neck and took a sip, "Then you might as well get drunk." ”

Zhang Yu watched him cup after cup, and did not try to persuade him. Anyone who can see clearly knows that since the battle of Honghe Pass 60 years ago, the resistance to igniting the beacon fire has never been on the turbid tide.

Liu Guang had a good amount of wine, and after drinking more than a dozen glasses in a row, he couldn't hold on to the wine, and fell down on the desk, but he seemed to be muttering something in his mouth.

Zhang Yu didn't drink anymore, just looked into the distance silently, Miao Danjun came to his side, shouted at him softly, and he reached out and stroked it.

At this moment, the sound of bells and drums suddenly sounded on the terrace, echoing above the entire Ruiguang City, and then transmitted to the sea, sending it away along the waves, and constantly echoing there.

The old year is gone, and it is the beginning of a new year.

He poured the wine in his cup into the ground, which was regarded as a tribute to himself in the past and the people in the past.

He looked up at the fireworks that rose up, bloomed and extinguished in mid-air, but continued to come up one after another, always illuminating the night sky.

The turbidity tide has always existed in the dark minds of some people, but the beacon fire is rooted in the hearts of thousands of people, as long as these fires are not extinguished, then one day it can be ignited.

As soon as his mind moved, Xia Jian swept over, fell into his hand in an instant, stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, and pulled out the blade with a bang, the blade was raised, reflecting the starfire in the sky, and he chanted in his mouth: "Crossing the sky and returning to the fire, the heart is higher than the clouds, the mystery is thunderous, and the sword cuts thousands of miles to break the tide!"
