As the saying goes, it is hidden in the city, and this is indeed true. The old ancestor of Da Yan took Zhuge Chen, who was dressed in a snow-white fox fur and a thin shirt inside, and walked around the alleys of the capital, and finally came to the door of a tavern.

The tavern store is extremely small, and compared to the drunken immortal residence, it can only be worthy of the word pitiful. But he sat down on a chair and ordered two pots of wine called cloudy wine, and began to drink bitterly to himself.

Zhuge Chen was a little at a loss, it stands to reason that he can drink with his predecessors, no matter how he says it, it should be Zhuge Chen to spend money, after all, this is a courtesy, and it must be done.

looked at Zhuge Chen sadly, suddenly smiled, and then said: "The old man invited you to drink, you should always invite a meal with snacks, right?"

"That's how it should be. Zhuge Chen immediately beckoned, called the shopkeeper, and prepared to call all the dishes in the store.

Who knew that the sorrow stopped him: "You little baby is good at everything, but you can't get on the road." Besides, there are only two of us, a sick man and a bad old man, how much can we eat in total? ”

Anyone who knows sorrow knows how unbearable his background is, since he was a child, he was passed on to his uncle who was a eunuch in the Dayan Palace, if he hadn't secretly run into the rivers and lakes when he was still young. Presumably, it will be difficult for him to escape the fate of entering the palace, and as for the good words he received after entering the True Dao, it is even more nonsense. No one wants to be in the company of eunuchs, they are eunuchs, neither men nor women.

Even after becoming famous in the rivers and lakes, sorrow still refuses to give up his background. When drinking, you will never spend all the money in your pocket in order to show the so-called heroism. So his popularity has always been bad, but those who can still call him a brother after being drunk are true brothers.

The shopkeeper in the tavern went and returned, unabashedly sarcasm. He has been working here for a long time, and the people who have always come here to drink, except for those down-and-out scholars, are some literati and writers who are unhappy in the officialdom. And in the eyes of the shopkeeper, they are no different. At the end of the day, it's not a lot of money. If you can buy wine on credit, it is already a tavern burning high incense.

Among the crowds, there are few people in the rivers and lakes. Even if he came, he would speak proudly at first, like a noble person in this capital. But when I asked the price, I would point my finger at the plate of peanuts because it was cheap.

For such a person, the shopkeeper was very disgusted in his heart.

Fortunately, although the old and young who came to drink today changed their words, they still ordered a lot, and the bad temper of the shopkeeper did not attack.

Waiting for the dish to be brought up by the shopkeeper and put it on the table, he sadly sandwiched a piece of sauced beef and chewed it in his mouth. Unexpectedly, even after so many years, the taste is still the same as before, which makes him unforgettable. Swallowing the flesh in his belly, he seemed to have returned to the days when he was still young. Although it is far from being a freshly clothed angry horse, the chivalrous spirit that comes from the rivers and lakes is still quite commendable.

Even though he has stepped into the realm of Zhendao, he is a real climber

Cultivators who go higher and higher after entering the hall. But he still didn't feel that he was that immortal cultivator, but he was able to go to the capital after living in the palace for a long time and see the chivalrous courage of those Jianghu people, which made him even happier from the bottom of his heart.

Otherwise, how could there be such a thing as a ranger?

That chivalrous word alone is not worthy of everyone. What's more, the most critical words are all on the word. Most of today's Jianghu people only know how to fight and kill, and they not only look down on their will, but also despise them very much. It would be a shame to give up your own life.

This rarely explains why sorrow is so much in Zhuge Chen's blue eyes, they are all people all the way, and it is difficult not to look at them!

Although he is old, he can still eat. But compared to the glass of wine in the throat when I was young, it is too much worse after all. What's more, Sorrow didn't want to run his own qi, it seemed that he wanted to get drunk and return.

Although Zhuge Chen persuaded him softly on the side, his predecessors had to be greedy for cups, and he had no choice. In the end, he can only drink cup after cup with him, anyway, he is young and strong, he can't get drunk and sad, and he doesn't always have to brag about his thousand cups.

"Little baby, do you know why I brought you to this tavern?" said the drink, which had never been better.

Zhuge Chen didn't know, so he could only shake his head.

"Listen to me and you slowly. Sorrowful burped and continued: "In fact, a few decades ago, about a hundred years ago, this restaurant was already open here. The shopkeeper is a cultivator who washes his hands from the rivers and lakes, because he has a wide range of contacts, and the wine in the restaurant is not only delicious but also cheap, which naturally attracts many people in this capital. The overcrowding at that time will only be better than today's Drunken Immortal Residence. ”

Although Zhuge Chen didn't have the idea of being too eager to listen to it, it was not good to disturb Yaxing, who was sad and rarely confided in his heart. I simply put my thoughts between the two chopsticks, and eat the meat with vegetables.

"I'm different from your little baby, you are young and promising. Amazing talent is so brilliant that you have just stepped onto the big stage of the world, so that everyone's attention will converge on you, and your future achievements will go to jaw-dropping heights. I'm different, I'm a late bloomer, and when I finally sit down in the realm where I can suppress most of the cultivators in the world, I've reached the age where there are thousands of things in the world and I can't be interested. Sorrowful drank another glass, his eyes were cloudy, and he seemed to be really drunk: "It's just a realm, and there is no meaning of fart." At that time, I came to this restaurant to drink. At that time, it was a very large place, and the first floor alone was as long as a street. The tavern wasn't too mixed, but it was noisy. I sat down where I was sitting and drank my wine. The big and small things discussed by the people around me were all in my ears, but even the deposed prince did not arouse my interest. The rivers and lakes are far away, and the temples are high, even if one party wants to interfere with the other, it is just a matter of thinking. If you really dare to take action, it is tantamount to using your mantis arm as a car, which is ridiculous. ”

Zhuge Chen smiled

He asked, "Since the seniors chose to drink here, I guess my mind will not be as simple as you say, right?"

Sadly scolded with a smile: "Your baby is very ghostly, don't worry, since the old man has pulled his head, he will not deliberately hide his appetite." ”

Zhuge Chen couldn't help but slap his horse: "The predecessors are really high-spirited." ”

For some reason, he snorted coldly and scolded: "Bullshit!"

Zhuge Chen was silent and waited for the following.

There was a sudden wind outside the tavern, which was normal in this season of winter and spring. But today's wind is very strong, Zhuge Chen looked at the pedestrians outside through the window. They stepped back and forward, as if afraid of the wind and sand hitting them in the face.

In the past, Zhuge Chen had a lot of whimsical ideas in his heart, such as liking to rise up with the sword on such a windy day, and then hang one hand on the hilt of the sword, dissipating a body of qi. Let yourself be as shaky as the dead leaves of the treetops, and when you really can't hold on, you won't be embarrassed for yourself, let go of that hand, re-operate your realm in the fall, and fall to the ground safe and sound.

Either you want to use your sword to the sky, trying to block the gust of wind alone. However, with his state at that time, it was naturally wishful thinking. Not only can it not stop the strong wind, but every time it returns to the ground, the white clothes that are extremely eye-catching will also be dirty. Not only does he not have the temperament of a god king, but even compared to those rangers, it is far inferior.

Every time everyone in the Zhuge family saw the white clothes facing the sky, they would say from the bottom of their hearts that the young master was crazy again.

Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled. Sorrow frowned slightly, and asked, "What's so funny." ”

Zhuge Chen waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I remembered something happy by chance, my predecessor doesn't have to worry about me, continue to say okay." ”

Sure enough, he continued: "Of course, the reason why I come here to drink is not only because the drinks here are cheap. For a cultivator who had already reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Mandate at that time, no matter how expensive the wine was, he could afford to drink it. What's more, in this case, I don't take money as money, although I consider myself frugal, but I still spend money like water. The shopkeeper of the tavern was a woman, and I fell in love with her at first sight. It's just that at that time, I was just a ranger and didn't think I was worthy of her. But when I returned, she was already married. ”

Zhuge Chen said with a smile: "I never thought that my predecessor would be such a sentimental person. ”

"I couldn't get angry, so I went to find her. Sadness ignored Zhuge Chen's poor mouth and continued. At this time, he was completely drunk, and I am afraid that he was not even conscious. Otherwise, how could something like this that should be pressed in his heart be said to Zhuge Chen?

But she didn't come to see me, only the familiar voice came to my ears: I don't know you. Sorrow whispered: "Everything is just my wishful thinking." Since then, I have been obsessed with my cultivation and have reached the highest level, but I have been complacent because of this. Otherwise, the ethereal realm of the Great Perfection may not be undesirable for the rest of your life. ”

Zhuge Chen said faintly: "Why have the predecessors been entangled by the original thought so far, it is really not the same

Concealment, as early as a few years ago, the younger generation was still high, and he was the most well-deserved pride of the sky in the world above his head. There is no threshold before stepping into the saint, and within the armor, you can compete with that human immortal. I forgot to mention that I am still the next head of a great family. The future is to stand at the forefront of heaven and heaven to lead the general trend, but now I have fallen into this field. A few years ago, because of my own pride, I not only lost my realm, but also cut off my own cultivation path. Who do I talk to about this kind of suffering? I can only bury it in my heart. You see me today as much as I did in the past. Is it difficult to kill the bamboo basket that still has wonderful skills to draw water? When I was at the peak of the Mandate of Heaven, I could easily kill Zhen Dao. ”

I was a little surprised, but when I thought that the young man in front of me was Zhuge Chen, he had infinite possibilities. Second, he was really drunk and couldn't think too much.

"I say all this, I just want to tell my seniors one thing. Once upon a time, it was just the past, it was even more once, blindly immersed in the past, it was not someone else who looked down on you the most, it would only be the self who was once bent on a higher place!" Zhuge Chen also drank a lot of wine, but his eyes were unexpectedly clear. He said so much, in fact, he said it to himself. Those thousands of words accumulated in his heart can't be revealed, and they will eventually turn into demons, dragging him into the abyss of no return while he is empty.

Sadly nodded, not knowing how he felt. When he lay down on the table, he fell into a deep sleep. But he remembered the words of the past and the past.

In the end, Zhuge Chen still paid for the wine and food, and he carried his sorrow and staggered out. The breeze blew on the face, and Zhuge Chen, who was already sick, was dizzy. He stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, there was a breath of air that lifted him up, and when Zhuge Chen stood still, he found that the sorrow that had been carried behind him had woken up. And stood right behind him and bowed to him.

Zhuge Chen accepted it calmly and smiled lightly.

"The head of the Wang family once said to the old man that my emotional injury can only be cured by fighting poison with poison and listening to the heartfelt words of happy people. After all, the authorities are obsessed, and it is difficult for others to wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep no matter what. Sorrowfully said: "In fact, the head of the Wang family has already vaguely pointed out that you are the happy one. It's just that the old man at that time didn't look down on you as a junior, so there was no follow-up. When I met in the palace that day, I felt something, so I went to the palace today. I thought that a dead horse would be a live horse doctor, but I didn't expect to look back at it, it was a blessing to the soul. After today, I have untied the knot, and I think that I can also grow in the realm that I have not advanced for a long time. Zhuge Gongzi, thank you very much. ”

For this title of son, Zhuge Chen behaved very naturally. Anyway, he also inadvertently became a gentleman of the Tao once, and it is inevitable to put on a score. What's more, with his pride, he didn't think that he was not qualified to be the master of that higher realm cultivator.

"The stones of other mountains can attack jade, and the ancients did not deceive me. Sorrow let out a breath of turbidity, and at this moment sobered up.

Zhuge Chen opened his mouth and said, "After this

, can the senior enter the realm of the Great Zhen Dao in one fell swoop?"

Sadly shook his head and said, "It's difficult! If there is no hundred-year-old painting as a prison, and the dead knot in my heart can dissipate earlier, I can fight for it." But now it seems that it is a bit of a fool's dream. However, in the realm of the True Dao, one step out, even if the distance is extremely close, the impact on the killing power is huge. ”

"But little baby, did you really do the impossible thing of the peak of the Heavenly Mandate to kill the Zhen Dao?" the two of them returned to their original titles.

Zhuge Chen nodded and said, "It turns out that the seniors have listened to it. ”

"Don't worry, the old man not only won't say, but will also write down the favor owed to you this time. Sorrow said slowly: "Even if you betray the entire Dayan one day, the old man will escort you out of this capital." But I naturally hope that this will never happen. ”

Zhuge Chen narrowed his eyes, covered his face with his hands, blocked the wind and sand, and said loudly: "It should be so." ”

The two stopped talking to each other, looked at each other, and disappeared into the wind and sand.

When Zhuge Chen returned to the palace courtyard, he saw the head of the Wang family guarding the door with a gloomy face. Zhuge Chen wanted to walk in directly, but he didn't want to be stopped by the head of the Wang family.

The head of the Wang family smelled the smell of wine emanating from Zhuge Chen's body, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Zhuge Chen, you don't want to live, do you? In this way, we both don't have to worry about it, and you don't have to stay in this deceitful capital anymore. ”

Zhuge Chen knew that the head of the Wang family was saying that he had agreed to the prince's invitation, and the evil intentions hidden by the other party were known to everyone, and there was no doubt that he was risking his life by doing so.

Zhuge Chen opened his mouth and said: "The head of the family is angry, and I don't want to drink. But the shadow senior in the palace came to me in person, so it makes sense that I have to accompany this meal, right? Besides, what I told the prince was to wait until I was cured of this serious illness before discussing it. Maybe my realm has been restored at that time, and he wants to kill me, it's really not easy. ”

After listening to Zhuge Chen's words, the anger of the head of the Wang family almost disappeared. But he still advised: "Even if this is the case, you have to be careful." Go and lie down in the house, and I'll have the butler give you the rest of the meal in the evening. ”

Zhuge Chen's heart warmed, and he said: "Is it okay for the family master and Daxue to go on a trip outside the city today?"

The head of the Wang family nodded and said, "It's not bad, I was thinking of staying overnight in the inn over there, but those bastards in the military department quickly sent someone to ask me to return to the capital." I couldn't get rid of it, so I had to come back, and as for the heavy snow, he stayed there. By the way, what did the shadow senpai tell you?" he asked tentatively.

Zhuge Chen said truthfully: "I helped my predecessor untie a knot in my heart and let him owe me a favor." In general, everything is good, and the head of the house does not have to worry about it. ”

After saying this, Zhuge Chen walked back to the house and threw himself on the bed. It wasn't until the butler brought the food that he opened his eyes in a daze. Patronizing and drinking in the tavern, this

He was really hungry. After three sips and two sips, drink a whole cup of tea to relieve hangover.

Outside the window, the moon was setting, and he suddenly remembered that the first time he came to Dayan Capital, this was the scene. He put on his clothes and walked out of the house, but he didn't expect that in the courtyard, the head of the Wang family was drinking alone under the moon.

Zhuge Chen stepped forward and asked softly, "Is the head of the family troubled?"

When the head of the Wang family heard the voice, he raised his head and said, "There is indeed one, but it is useless to tell you." ”

Zhuge Chen said unrelentingly: "Let's talk about it, it doesn't hurt anyway. ”

The head of the Wang family still had a wine jug, Zhuge Chen pulled out the stopper, put his nose up and sniffed it, and it turned out to be tea.

The head of the Wang family laughed and said, "You can't drink anymore." ”
