Volume 1 The World Chapter 8 Mountains and Rivers See Each Other But If You Don't Meet (I)

Let's say that Han Chi and Lao Zhang dressed up in the forest, and when the dress was finished, Han Chi didn't mention it, this Lao Zhang looked like a Taoist master, but the two of them only looked like they, and they were still very empty inside.

The two of them sorted out the Taoist chief's body very carefully, and respectfully buried the Taoist chief's body in the coffin, and Lao Zhang also bought a few sticks of incense by the way, so that the old Taoist could also eat something good, so he took a break.

It's just that Han Chi became irritable again, mainly because this old Zhang began to chatter, the main content is that there is only one degree, and only this old Zhang can be used if there is an age on it, but Han Chi can only be said to be a new disciple of Lao Zhang, very dull, and when he returns to Dingzhou, he is going to be punished, so he wants Han Chi to respect him in front of others, don't call Lao Zhang one by one, call the master, and serve tea and pour water or something, until he saw Han Chi's face slowly begin to change, this Lao Zhang stopped talking, but the pride on his face couldn't be erased。

Seeing that Han Chi was about to have a seizure, Lao Zhang hurriedly took out half a roast chicken, and there was still residual warmth in his arms, so that Han Chi had a fire but it was not easy to make a hair, and he had a short mouth to eat others, so he could only use all his strength on this roast chicken.

At this time, it was getting late, and the two of them were in such a situation, but it was not easy to find the inn to stay, so they could only find a Yizhuang or a broken temple to spend the night, anyway, they had been on the road for so long, and they were accustomed to spending the night in the wild.

That's it, the two of them facing the evening breeze and facing the sunset are officially on their journey, but there is another bad thing before the departure, this mule cart can only sit one person at a time, and the other person can only follow, why? Because this is a mule cart endurance and foot distance of course not as good as a high-headed horse, that is, the average horse is much worse, and the coffin of the old Taoist is too heavy, both people get on the car, afraid of pressing this mule out of a good way, you must know that there are still six or seven hundred miles to the south, and this silver coin is only seven taels of silver left, without this mule, it is rare to ask two people to carry this coffin? Anyway, there is no silver coin to buy another one.

Han Chi drove Lao Zhang out of the car, and the reason was also sufficient, this Lao Zhang ate half a roast chicken in one breath because of his age, and not doing much activity is definitely not good for his body, what gastroenteritis, Alzheimer's, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol Think about it, Han Chi is afraid of this Lao Zhang, so Han Chi is so for Lao Zhang's body, he can only reluctantly gnaw on the roast chicken while driving the mule cart, and suffer the sin of riding the car for Lao Zhang.

What can Lao Zhang say? I can't understand a word, I definitely don't have anything to say, I just hate to strangle this cheeky Han Chi.

So the two of them laughed and hurried on their way.

It was said that the trip was southward, but it was set off in the wind and snow, and then went south, but the weather was a lot warmer.

Seven days have passed along the way, to say that the identity of this Taoist priest is really useful, the two of them have come all the way, not to mention the temporary official check, that is, they rarely encounter difficulties when they enter the city to verify the degree, and they are generally let go all the way, and they will let the two live for free if they encounter Yizhuang by chance.

It's just that you can't find a town to rest every night, and this situation of eating and sleeping in the open can only be said to be better, but it can't be avoided at all.

On this day, in order to rush a little longer, Han and Zhang missed a village, and they didn't think that they had found a bad way in the middle, and they plunged into the mountains, so they didn't know where to go, so they thought that they might have to sleep in the wilderness in the wilderness, and they were used to it, just hoping that there would be no tigers or wolves in the mountains.

The slightest recourse they had for this was to make more torches, and the beasts had a lot of scruples about this flame, so that they should not come across those who had been hungry for many days and were full of ferocity.

Unexpectedly, after walking another mile, they vaguely saw the firelight, Han and Zhang were overjoyed, if there is a family, they can't stay overnight, but it's more or less a safe place, at least they can drink with saliva, so the two hurried over.

It's just that the two of them came closer, but they hesitated again, because this firelight is not a person's house, just a quaint pavilion, the pavilion is surrounded by bright lights, and a stone table in the middle is divided into four stone benches, only to see a person sitting on his main seat, slowly tasting tea. It's a little far away, but I can't see this person's appearance clearly, but this person understands it, but he is obviously rich and noble.

If it is in the county seat of the state capital, this scene has a different artistic conception, but this is a deep mountain and old forest, try to ask who is this pavilion prepared for, and who is the person who drinks tea? Or is it a person?

But how can Han Zhang, who has seen the big demon, not afraid.

It's just that at this time, they have come to the front, and the people in the pavilion have already looked over, but they don't let Han Zhang and the others go, but they don't dare to go over.

But I didn't think that at this time, the people in the pavilion opened their mouths first, "I never thought that I could meet two Taoist masters in this deep mountain and dark night, how about coming to this pavilion to drink a cup of thin tea, and rest all?"

Lao Zhang hurriedly opened his mouth and politely refused, "How can I destroy Mr.'s Yaxing, the two of us still need to hurry, so I won't bother."

Unexpectedly, the people in the pavilion insisted that "the mountain road in front of us is long, and it will not be completed in a while and a half, and a little rest will not delay anything, it is rare for the two of you to dare to rush in this deep mountain, but you dare not sit down with you?"

Lao Zhang was also helpless, and exchanged glances with Han Chi, but the two men in this pavilion couldn't see the depth, but the two of them understood that whether it was a fairy or a monster, it was not something that ordinary people could not afford to provoke with such pomp, so why not go and sit down, don't anger this person.

Lao Zhang gave a salute before saying, "Then it's disturbing."

First, the mule cart was tied, and the two walked into the pavilion, and the two sides saluted each other, and then sat down in turn.

Han Zhang and the others only saw this person's face clearly, this person's appearance is not strange, just a Chinese face, the eyes are quite large, the bridge of the nose is high, and a pair of attractive ears are not obvious, if compared with Zhao Ji, he can only be regarded as an ordinary person, but this person stretched out his hand and showed an indescribable nobility. At first glance, he is a person who has been in the top position for a long time, and it is the kind of person who is above thousands or tens of thousands of people, that is, the sons of the Shangshu Shilang family that Han Zhang often sees do not have such a bearing.

This person is still polite, first for Lao Zhang and Han Chi to see the tea, but in the end only to refill half a cup for himself, after the renewal, and then take a sip first, before inviting Han Zhang and the two to taste tea, this method is still a little exquisite, probably to let the two rest assured, this tea can be eaten with confidence, there is no meaning of poisoning and medicine, and the first thing to do after clinking glasses is the same as respect.

The two had no choice but to pick up the cup and take a few sips, but they didn't expect this tea to be really ordinary.

The man seemed to see the doubts of the two, so he said, "This is a favorite thing of one of my like-minded friends, but it is difficult for me to drink it, but it makes the two of them laugh."

Han and Zhang could only say that they didn't dare.

Then the man did not speak, but slowly sipped the tea, and the man's brow was always slightly furrowed, and there seemed to be some sadness or sadness on his face.

Sitting like this, Han and Zhang were very uncomfortable, they didn't dare to drink more tea, and their bodies didn't dare to move a little, as if they were tied hands and feet, and they couldn't bend or stretch.

The man didn't move for a long time, so the two of them thought that they would sit like this until dawn, how could this be bearable.

Lao Zhang could only open his mouth to break the peace, "I don't know what is the so-called matter that Mr. is here late at night?"

The man put down the teacup and said lightly, "I originally wanted to see a friend, but I didn't want to miss it, but I just went to the mountains and rivers away."

Lao Zhang hurriedly received "The friend who misses Mr. Bi must be a great person, otherwise Mr. would not be so concerned."

The man smiled "haha", and replied, "Dao Chief, you guessed wrong, but my friend is the smallest person with a belly, he scolded him when he was a teenager, and he will always remember it decades later." He is also the most ruthless and unrighteous person, some people have been waiting for him for ten years, but he has turned a deaf ear, and some people have been looking for him for thousands of miles, but he has just left. He was a stingy man, so he never drank good wine, drank fragrant tea, and did not wear scattered ribbons, but was wrapped in coarse linen clothes. He always thought that he was the most chic person, so just because of one sentence, he dared to go to the end of the world alone, sleeping in the open air, without regrets, and the demons were small, not afraid. In short, he is not a great person, he is just a ghost, he has no heart and lungs, and he doesn't know what to do."

Hearing this, Lao Zhang didn't know how to answer.

But the man continued to tell as if there was no one around, "You say that he is not an awkward ghost, and as long as he says a word, no one can care, and he has to face it alone? Obviously there is no need to do this, but he prefers to be like this, not awkward, what? You say that he is either heartless and lungless, or his left hand is rich in the world, and his right hand is free and fairy, all of which are within reach, but he doesn't take it, he doesn't do his filial piety under his parents' knees, and he doesn't ask for children, what do you say he asks for? What do you say he wants is he heartless and lungless? He said that he didn't know what to do, he obviously walked the same way, but everywhere he went was the same, but just because the road he took in the middle was different, he left everyone to travel alone, and how difficult and dangerous was the road he chose? If he died before he succeeded, then the white silk two feet, the loess one pei who is with him, who knows him, really don't know what to do!"

It was only after saying that he found that he had a slight gaffe, so he raised his hand and complained to Han and Zhang, "It's a gaffe, I'm very sorry to disturb the two, although it is not a big fortune in the next, but there is a small façade here, if the two of you need anything, if you ask for anything, you can come to me, not to say that what you ask for is not necessary, it is a wealth and wealth is also at your fingertips, this matter is all regarded as an apology for listening to my gossip here."

Han Zhang looked at each other, but his frightened hairs stood up, and he said that he would give you a fortune, and in Han Zhang's ears, it meant that he either wanted your life or wanted most of your life.

The two hurriedly shook their heads, and Lao Zhang resolutely refused, "It's okay, it's okay, what Mr. said is also funny, how can it be regarded as a disturbance?

"Isn't it the two of you who look down on you?" This person suddenly straightened his face, but his face moved, but it made Han Zhang and the others feel a lot of pressure, and this pressure was not completely invisible, nor was it panic caused by palpitations.

At the same time, the wind suddenly rose, blowing the nearby branches and lamps all swaying, and for a while the light in the pavilion was bright and dark, but it was strange.

Han and Zhang immediately followed the good flow, and said to this person, "Then I'm welcome."

The fast, resolute, and smooth change of attitude can be regarded as the world's first-class.
