Volume 1 Unforgettable Chapter 2 Ten years of life and death are boundless
Ten years in the town.
There are so many people who come and go to seek immortality.
In the past ten years, he has been most famous for his three laughs:
A smile of infatuated women is always ruthlessly hurt.
The second laughing and compassionate scholar did not have a chance to go on the road on the mountain.
There is no return date in the cup of the three smiling down-and-out men.
At the gate of the gambling house in Yunji Town, a man dressed in tatters was thrown out, his mouth was scolding, and the fragrance of the gambling house was splashing, and the guards seemed to be afraid of something, and after throwing the middle-aged man out, he only dropped a sentence "Do your dream of cultivating immortals!" and went back.
The middle-aged man with a scruffy beard and full of alcohol got up stumbling, rubbed his aching buttocks, and trembled, "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, when my cultivation is completed, it will be the time for your and other heads to fall." The bullshit gambling house doesn't give the account on credit, Lao Tzu just bought wine and spent all the money, which is really unlucky. ”
After taking a sip of rough wine, he was so spicy that he burst into tears, and pointed at the people who were whispering around him, and scolded, "What are you seeing? Haven't you ever seen drinking? Do you know what is agar-jelly jade liquid hahaha?"
A little boy in the crowd of onlookers asked in a milky voice, "Uncle, have you ever drunk it?"
There was silence all around.
The childlike child was frightened by his mother into the crowd, for fear of offending the middle-aged man, the little girl reluctantly twisted away, the middle-aged man just turned his head and shook and muttered, "Lao Tzu doesn't care about children, forget it, I'll go, get out of the way!"
Then he violently pushed through the crowd and slowly walked to the corner.
Only its sad and rugged song remains.
My son is sleepy in the sky and frost,
Why bother with sorrow coming and going.
Looking up to the sky and laughing at the fairy?
Empty and useless!
Hahaha, life and death......!
The middle-aged man has lived in Yunji Town for ten years, and he has wanted to wait for the fairy fate several times in the past ten years, which is strange to say, there are always immortal masters who go to check on him, but each of them shakes his head and sighs.
Life is also time, and there is no other way.
The neighborhood leader watched the man step by step into middle age, from one cup to a thousand cups of drunkenness, when he was drunk, he went crazy and cried and chanted poetry everywhere, all sighed slowly, the middle-aged man who was awake was one of the few gentle and elegant readers.
But why did you drink like this?
Probably too sad.
Someone once saw him lying on the street corner crying and drinking, and drank: "Wine in wine and wine in the fairy, dream of life, dream of death, dream of freedom." As soon as the peach forest opens for 3,000 zhang, what petal peach nightmare is my face?"
However, the reader is the most frustrated.
However, when he woke up, he was accustomed to teaching children to read and learn words on street corners, and he was still silently respected by the poor families in the town.
With a creak, the wooden door of a house on the corner of the street was slowly pushed open, and who else could it be if it wasn't the middle-aged frustrated man who walked in?
Tattered wooden tables, tattered quilts, and neatly stacked books and flasks.
The only difference is that the books are neat, but the flasks are empty.
He slowly leaned against the door, looked up and muttered, "That's it, it's the last time! I'll practice my boxing from tomorrow." I'll make another bet, and as long as I win, I'll buy a cow and ...... ...... well Listen to Yun'er and live a good life. ”
Then he sat down on the ground, and his eyes raised a gaze that seemed to be firm, "Well, it must be true, as long as I work hard and fight hard, I will definitely not be ridiculed by others as a third laugher, and I will not let you be unable to raise your head in the sect." ”
Those who are really sad are those who know it, but they are still sinking, and there are so many people in the world who seek a miracle, and when they really want to get up and do it, they prevaricate for various reasons, and after thinking about it, it is probably just comfort.
Shaking and hiding the door, he lay on the ground, bare-chested and exposed, and fell asleep.
"What, what makes you like this...... You wretch...... Waste, rhyme, rhyme...... I don't want your money, you keep it!"
......
"You have to take care of yourself..... don't come to see me so many times.....
......
"Well, I don't want your ..... at all"
The man in the courtyard fell asleep, and from time to time a dream sentence came out, looking at it, it was stupid and pathetic.
but even more lamented that the poor people have few things to hate.
A blue sword light quietly opened the wooden door, and a woman with skin better than snow and picturesque eyebrows, her eyes were choked, looking at the man who fell to the ground with autumn water, she snorted, her eyes were a little red, and she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her left hand while laughing.
"Tang Li, long time no see, well, I miss you a little!"
"It's a little deeper than the sea. ”
————
Tang Li's dream dreamed of that scene seven years ago, at that time, Tang Yun'er would still go down the mountain from time to time to take a look at herself. At that time, Tang Li's life was not so fond of drinking, not so much gambling, and everything seemed to be quite beautiful.
But at that time, Tang Li was a little lost, no matter how many times he tried, he couldn't condense a little bit of immortal yuan, that is to say, he was really a mortal. Some people are born to accept their fate, but he is really unwilling, why did he stay in Yunji Town? Isn't it just to have immortals and immortal traces, and since then he has also stepped into that immortal path, so that everyone can be impressed, so that he can accompany her? Why did he not want to pursue the happiness of the immortals?
He never wanted to answer that girl's doubts one day. It's not that when she was in doubt about her cultivation, he could only force a smile and tell her that I don't understand this, so I can only rely on you, and I will support you in whatever you do anyway.
Pretending not to understand the helplessness that flashed in the girl's eyes, how could he not understand her after so many years.
But what can be done about this, who has ever seen the white fists of a young man in the dark night? Getting up again and again, falling, getting up, falling, there is always a voice saying don't give up, but the feeling of death in the heart of broken will and forced to stand up and then disappointed until desperate is like a painful heart.
How many times can a person persevere?
Maybe she didn't really blame him, she was just a little bored, but Tang Li, how could she not blame herself.
Only when you are really powerless, will you resent that you are a mortal.
Maybe this is fate, since you accept your fate, then don't delay others.
casually found a reason to quarrel, and said, "Don't bother me to marry a wife!"
She left crying, and she hasn't seen her for seven years.
It seems that since then, Tang Li's love for drinking, plus gambling a little money, I don't know if it was too good luck when he was young, in short, Tang Li's gambling will lose, without exception, if it weren't for the fact that he could get a little silver tael every month with the Chaoxian Sect's nothing-to-do card, maybe he would have starved to death on the streets.
Before he couldn't see the road ahead, Tang Lixi chose to let go, and he was always resisting an inexplicable fear in his heart, afraid that one day, Tang Yuner would die because of himself, so he would rather stay farther away, and in this life, it seems to be quite good to live a dull life under the mountain.
is young and ambitious, and has long been worn out by the bits and pieces of the past ten years.
He was afraid that if he couldn't be accompanied by love, it would be too cruel to be left alone after a hundred years.
It's better to endure parting, than to part.
————
Tang Yun'er is becoming more and more delicate, and her eyes under the eyebrows of the distant mountains are full of autumn water, and she is cleaning up with a gentle expression. She hasn't returned for seven years, it's just that she hasn't seen him for seven years, she wants to come back, how can he stop him?
It's just that the wind on the roof is a little stronger at night.
walked to the kitchen with a familiar car, fetched a bucket of water, rolled up her sleeves and wrung out the rag, and gently wiped the furniture around, but in fact, there was not much dust in the house, but Tang Yun'er just wanted to do something.
When there is no one around, there will be a blue light flashing in her eyes, which makes her feel sad in her heart, and she quickly hides the past, for fear that Tang Li, who is sober up, will know.
Looking at the Tang civet lying on the ground, it seemed that there were many, many things that he wanted to say, and there seemed to be many, many things that he didn't want to say. I want to see him, but I am afraid to see him.
In the sect, she always left no trace to probe his news, wanting to know if he had married a wife and had children, how he was doing, she hoped that he would be happy, but she didn't want to be so happy.
She is afraid that if love makes him feel inferior, she would rather silently guard and watch his happiness.
It's just that I have to come back today, come back and cook for him, practice for ten years, life and death, the taste of food, I don't know if he will forget.
After making a few home-cooked dishes and a soup, Tang Yuner sat on a chair, holding a small bowl, drinking bone broth in small sips, and blowing the green onions floating on the soup from time to time, taking a sip, just waiting quietly for Tang Li's wake up, with a quiet smile on his face, if this is a dream, then take advantage of the fact that he has not woken up yet, and look at him more.
Life is like a big dream, drunk and forgets a thousand sorrows. It's a pity that the more sad the person, the more he drinks, the clearer he becomes, until he is drunk.
Tang Li's sleep lasted until the evening before he woke up.
Tang Li sat up slowly, rubbed his head, which was still a little painful, and an ethereal voice came into his ears, like yesterday's sheng flute.
"Awake?"
Tang Li's expression remained unchanged, and the familiar voice didn't even have to turn around, "Hmm......"
"Come and eat. ”
"Good. ”
After taking the rice handed over by Tang Yun'er, Tang Li's rice was taken a big bite, and the two looked at each other speechlessly, wanting to say too much, but forgetting to speak.
What is there to say? All these years, she has been alone, she cries and she laughs, he doesn't know, what if he knows?
Tang Yun'er presented a bowl of clear soup and put it in front of Tang Li, and said softly: "Don't choke, you are still in such a hurry to eat." ”
Tang Li put down the rice bowl, took a sip of soup, wiped his mouth, and said with a slight smile: "Come back for a few days?" remember to add more chili peppers to stir-fry." ”
Tang Yun'er rolled her eyes and said coquettishly: "Your daughter-in-law, isn't it delicious to cook?"
"There's no way I've been too poor all these years and no one looks down on me, I'm still an old bachelor. Tang Tancani smiled, not ashamed at all, it seemed that the young man who locked the door of a dozen matchmakers had nothing to do with him.
If you don't love someone, why bother.
But what is love? Tang Li's own can't say clearly, although a smile makes people look comfortable, but it is only comfortable, and he has not even bothered to talk about it all these years.
Tang Li's look at the big girl on the other side of the table, the fairy of the scorching peach blossom, and the beauty of the willows. Tang Li sighed in his heart that the girl he raised at the beginning had grown up after all.
Tang Yun'er looked up at the sky, took a breath of air and swirled back and forth in her mouth, and after thinking for a while, she said, "I'll leave tomorrow." ”
Tang Li was surprised, "Are you going to leave so soon?"
"There's something I'm going to try and see if I can get it, and I'm going to take the interstate ferry tomorrow. Tang Yun'er looked at the bearded Tang Li, she couldn't wait, because he couldn't wait, she would definitely get that kind of thing.
"Dangerous, isn't it?" Before he finished speaking, Tang Lifu laughed to himself.
He can't do anything if it's dangerous or not, do you want her not to go? What qualifications do you have to point fingers? The disparity in status, the bird's ambition to know the great future, and there are many things that can't help themselves in life.
Therefore, he didn't wait for Tang Yun'er to reply, and then he continued, "Pay attention to safety." ”
"Well, there's nothing else to say?" Tang Yun'er propped up her chin with one hand and looked at it with a smile, I don't know why Tang Li's back always felt cold.
"This big pig's trotter. Tang Yun'er couldn't help but complain in her heart, I don't want you to go, it's not that I won't stay for a while, although I still have to go, many times, being too sensible makes people sad.
After dinner, Tang Yun'er lay on the bamboo chair in the courtyard, felt the faint fragrance of the bamboo chair, looked at the stars in the sky, quietly, listened to the sound of pots and pans in the kitchen, just like ten years ago, she cooked and washed the dishes, sometimes she would also think, if she did it again, would she still take the sword he handed over?
After all, there is something different. Tang Yun'er looked painful, she wanted to look back at him but didn't dare, Yun'er, why are you so stupid?
Tang Li, in the future, you will definitely meet a gentle, virtuous, quiet and elegant woman, that is Tang Yun'er's blessing.
There is only one chair in the courtyard, which was occupied by Tang Yun'er as a matter of course, so of course Tang Lixi can only sit on the ground, fortunately, it is summer season, and it is quite comfortable to sit on the ground and enjoy the shade in the courtyard. Tang Li's beauties took small sips and drank soju.
Tang Yun'er stretched comfortably, "It's still comfortable here, I don't feel like I have to think about anything." ”
Tang Li smiled faintly, put his hands on the pillow, and leaned on the steps, "If you want to come back, come back more." ”
Tang Yun'er turned over to look at Tang Li, and complained in a sour tone: "Yo, aren't you afraid that I will disturb you to get married and have children?"
Although she knew that Tang Li would say such things for her cultivation, but as a woman, she was still very angry when she heard these words, anyway, Tang Yun'er thought about it for a long time, until the master thought that she was too annoyed and went to the library to retreat for three years, and then let her out.
But did you really figure it out? Didn't you see that thing in the book "Overseas Experience", how could you think about practicing swords?
Tang Li smiled when he heard this, but did not answer. It's good to be back, it's good to be gone, and it's good to know that you're alive, even if you're far away.
Tang Yun'er muttered a lot of words, Tang Li's words were listening a lot of the time, and occasionally interjecting a few words, mostly attracting the beautiful woman on the chair to keep rolling her eyes, and there were also Yingying laughter, and her voice was intoxicating.
The sound of frogs and cicadas all around is quiet and peaceful.
Tang Yun'er on the chair whispered, and she didn't know how deep the night was, she only heard a burst of snoring on the ground, turned around slightly, and looked at the sleeping Tang Li's tightly knit brows, still quite handsome, Tang Yun'er thought to herself.
I put a misty incense in the shochu I prepared for him, and finally waited until he fell asleep.
In order to make sure that he was really asleep, Tang Yun'er casually hit Tang Li's body with a sword intent, and then tiptoed to Tang Li's side, waved his hand to arrange a sword formation, and after isolating the good breath, Tang Yun'er's eyes were full of strange blue color, and her body became illusory, and her sword aura was amazing.
I saw this weird "Tang Yun'er" directly reaching out and inserting it into his heart, and without a trace of blood, he took out a strange-looking stone from his heart, and then looked at his heart, which became intact.
Grabbing this stone with his bare hands, the sword qi poured out, and the sword trick continued to pierce into the stone, and when the stone exuded seven colors, "Tang Yun'er" gently pinched it with his hand, and the stone suddenly shattered into nine pieces of almost the same size, ensuring that nothing was lost, and then the sword qi entered the nine orifices of Tang Li's body.
Recycled stone, I hope it gives him a glimmer of hope.
If there is a coming day, Tang Yun'er will wait for him.
After doing all this, "Tang Yun'er", or Luo Shenhui, smiled, although his expression was pale, but after all, he had completed what Yun'er had entrusted him. It's not in vain that Yun'er paid so much to get something, looking up at the west, Luo Shen looked sad, Yun'er estimated that she couldn't hold it.
Dragging his tired body back to the chair and lying down, Roselle felt a little sad.
But it's not a big deal, accompany her tomorrow and go to Huangquan together! Thinking of this, Luo Shen, who pretended to be Tang Yun'er on the chair, closed his eyes tiredly.
In the dead of night, everything is silent.
Only the night crows crooked, and the melodious sound of the piano came from the distant riverside, but only the graceful and desolate sound was heard.
Tang Li, who should have been asleep, suddenly opened his eyes with a complicated expression.
He took a breath and closed it slowly.

The night is over!
