Chapter 698: Drinking in the Temple

"Ning Caichen?"

Li Xiake was slightly stunned, "You are Ning Caichen?"

He glanced at Ning Caichen opposite with a playful face, and saw that he was dressed in a cyan robe, wearing a scarf, a slender figure, and a handsome appearance, but his face was straight and heroic, which was completely different from ordinary weak scholars.

Seeing that Li Xiake's expression was a little strange, Ning Caichen was stunned and asked, "Brother Tai, why do you look at me like this?"

Li Xiake snorted and said with a smile: "I have heard Brother Ning's name for a long time, and I never thought that I would only be honored today, so it is a bit rude, don't blame, don't blame!"

He said to Ning Caichen: "I'm Li Xiake! Have you heard my name?"

Ning Caichen was taken aback: "Li Xiake? is it the chivalrous Li Xiake who killed corrupt officials and robbers and bandits that have been rumored all over the world recently?"

He looked at Li Xiake, and his face showed reverence: "It turned out that it was Li Daxia in person! So, the person you threw away just now is an evil person?"

Li Xiake smiled and said: "What? You are not afraid of me? I have killed a lot of court officials, and now I am wanted all over the world, and you, as a Confucian child, do you not have a little dislike for me?"

Ning Caichen shook his head and said: "Today, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant, and the younger brother also suffers from these officials, so I want to gain fame, shepherd one side, and do more things for the people, so as to live up to what I have learned in my life." For example, today, not to mention a chivalrous warrior like Brother Li, even the younger brother and I also have the idea of lifting a sword to kill corrupt officials!"

He seems to have paid a lot of attention to Li Xiake's deeds, and greatly appreciated Li Xiake's behavior, after knowing Li Xiake's identity, not only was he not afraid, but he admired him greatly, and said to Li Xiake: "In the life of the younger brother, the most admired is the sword-wielding gentleman, the righteous and sincere husband! Today I have the fate to see Brother Li, it is really the luck of the little brother's three lives, let's go, the little brother is the east today, I invite Brother Li to eat and drink!"

Li Xiake said with a smile: "You are very good! Generous and heroic, you are not inferior to the heroes of the rivers and lakes." But on the street, there are many people, I can't bother you, if you really want to drink, find a remote place. ”

Ning Caichen said with a smile: "It's a coincidence! This Jinhua territory, because there are too many candidates and the rent is too expensive, the younger brother has found a deserted house to live in an abandoned temple on the outskirts of the city, but it is very clean, and Brother Li can go to the temple with me to drink." ”

When he said this, he frowned slightly and said: "It's just that there is a scholar nearby who often drinks and sings, and says some nonsense, and sometimes he howls in the middle of the night. ”

Li Xiake laughed: "I kill people in my life, only kill those who should be killed, there are many crazy people in the world, as long as I don't harm the place and don't act for the tiger, why should I have the same knowledge as them?"

Ning Caichen said: "It's extreme, it's extreme, with Brother Li's mind, he naturally doesn't care, it's the brother who thinks too much!"

So Li Xiake bought wine and food, picked up a food box in the restaurant, and walked out of the city with Li Xiake.

Three or five miles out of the city, there is a mountain, from a path through the woods slowly forward, you see a temple standing in the middle of the mountainside, look carefully, only to see this temple dilapidated, the plaque is gone, I don't know what the name is.

"It is said that this temple is called Dorinji Temple, and at first it was very prosperous with many monks, but then somehow it fell into disrepair, and now it is completely abandoned. The brother liked the cleanliness and cleaned up a few houses here as shelters. ”

Ning Caichen walked into the temple with Li Xiake with the food box, and explained to Li Xiake: "It's just that in addition to a madman in this temple, there is also a family in a courtyard inside, but what this family does, my brother doesn't know." ”

Li Xiake smiled: "Don't care about him, eat wine first!"

followed Ning Caichen through the two courtyards and came to a deserted courtyard in the east, Ning Caichen pushed open a door and welcomed Li Xiake in: "Brother Li, please come in! There is nothing in the burrow, please don't dislike it!"

Li Xiake glanced at the house, and saw that the place where Ning Caichen lived was really simple, with a bed and a few supporting boards, and there was no decent furniture.

It seems that the "Burrow" in his mouth is really not a humble word, this is really simple.

"It's dark here, so it's better to go to the courtyard and have a drink!"

Li Xiake lowered the doors and windows in this room, and the light was unknown, and said to Ning Caichen: "I saw that in the courtyard not far away, there is a pond, and the lotus flowers in it are just right, and there is a pavilion on the edge of the lotus pond, and there are bluestone tables and stools in it.

Ning Caichen said: "Yes, yes, yes! Brother Li said yes! It's just that the pavilion is not far from a family next to it, and I have seen women coming in and out there, and if we go to drink, I'm afraid it will disturb this kind of female dependents." ”

Li Xiake said angrily: "But anyone who lives in the wilderness must have the spirit of recklessness, not to mention drinking, it is murder, and it can't scare people!"

Ning Caichen couldn't refute, but said, "According to Brother Li's intentions, let's go there." ”

As soon as the two of them came out of the courtyard, they saw a white-clothed scholar walking towards them, this scholar had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the whole person looked surprisingly handsome, standing in the distance like a jade tree in the wind, with a style of its own.

When he saw Li Xiake coming, he hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "Yan Chixia has not entered the posterior school, please meet Mr. Li!"

Li Xiake smiled: "It turned out to be Brother Yan! You are the descendant of the sword cultivation lineage?"

Yan Chixia said: "Exactly! The juniors have been polishing the sword qi in their hearts here, and they have not been successful for more than three years, and they have not been consummated, and they don't want their seniors to come here today, Chixia is overjoyed, and I hope that the seniors will have the opportunity to give advice." ”

Li Xiake smiled: "Let's go, let's go to the courtyard to eat wine first!"

Yan Chixia said: "Yes!"

At that moment, he walked with Li Xiake to a pond not far away.

Ning Caichen glanced at Yan Chixia curiously, and asked softly, "Brother Yan, what does Brother Li mean by sword cultivation? Are you also a legendary swordsman? I thought you were a scholar who was rushing to take the exam nearby!"

Yan Chixia said with a smile: "I have also taken the meritorious test, that was a long time ago, Brother Ning, you are so lucky to have met Mr. Li!"

Ning Caichen said: "I also happened to meet Li Daxia, so I invited him to come over and drink together." ”

Yan Chixia said in her heart: "Li Xiake is an immortal in the world, well-known in heaven and earth, you can invite him to come here to drink, what a great opportunity is this? It's a pity that you only know his chivalry, but you don't know that he is an immortal!"

But it's good to know this kind of thing in your heart, but you can't say it, Ning Caichen is an ordinary scholar, there is no need to tell him this kind of thing.

After the three of them walked to the nearby yard, they saw a large pond, the lotus flowers and lotus leaves in the water stretched, the lotus flowers were red in the sun, the wind moved the water surface, the lotus leaves swayed lightly, and the fragrance of flowers was bursting, which made people feel refreshed.

When the three of them saw this beautiful scenery, they applauded at the same time.

When he came to the nearby pavilion and sat down, Ning Caichen took out the wine and food, put it on the bluestone table, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I came in a hurry, I only bought a bottle of rice wine, but I didn't have time to buy liquor, and I lost a little charm." ”

"Liquor, I have it!"

Li Xiake took off the yellow gourd on his waist, shook it slightly, and said with a smile: "I still have a little wine in this gourd, and I can't drink it unless I am destined for it." I'm in a good mood today, let's have a drink by myself!"

Ning Caichen said with a smile: "Brother Li is not happy, it is imperial wine, and there is no reason to drink just one glass!"

Li Xiake smiled and said, "If you can drink a second cup, I'll pour it for you!"

He opened the gourd and was about to pour wine, when suddenly a thunderbolt erupted from the gourd's mouth and went straight to the courtyard next door.

But it was the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder that he collected during the Tribulation, and he didn't notice it for a while, and a trace of it appeared.
