The Beihai affair is completely over, some people come early, naturally they see everything, some people come late, naturally they don't see anything, since there is no point in coming to Beihai again, then simply bypass Beihai and don't waste their efforts here.

You can go around the North Sea, but you can't go around the North Sea.

Beihai is a dividing line between mountains and rivers and demon land, if you want to go to demon land, you must go from the coast to the coast.

Beihai was originally a large canyon, which originated 6,000 years ago, and many monks did not know why he appeared in the world, separating the mountains and rivers from the demon land, but the saints must have known.

Zen people who have read a lot of books also know a lot, but they definitely don't know more than the saints.

Because this Grand Canyon was originally created because of the battle between the saints, several saints fought in the Beihai, and the mountains and rivers were turbulent, and the demon land was dark, and finally this Grand Canyon was made.

After the seawater poured into it, Beihai not only became the habitat of the Kun tribe, but also the dividing point between mountains and rivers and demon land.

To the north of the North Sea is the demon land, and to the south of the North Sea is the mountains and rivers.

Whether you want to step into the demon land from the mountains and rivers or come to the mountains and rivers from the demon land, you must cross the North Sea.

Nowadays, although there are many big ships on the surface of the North Sea, none of them are thinking of sailing from the mountains and rivers to the demon land.

The coast has gradually deserted these days, and after many monks have left, the place is no longer in its former glory, and some fishermen who have rested for many days go out to sea again to fish, and the common people on the coast have increased again.

In a teahouse on the coast, an old Confucian with a bookcase on his back pushed the door in, and now there were no customers in the teahouse where business was deserted, except for the two monks in the corner whose faces could not be seen clearly, only a young man was left sitting by the window, drinking cheap tea.

A pot of tea is only a few pennies, which is really not expensive.

After the old Confucian pushed the door in, he looked at the old shopkeeper leaning on the counter, the folds on his old face were all unfolded, and he asked for a pot of wine with a smile.

The old shopkeeper's old face was a little angry, and he looked at the old Confucian and said with a smile: "I'm here for the tea house." ”

The old Confucian put down the bookcase, sat opposite the young man, and smiled at the old shopkeeper: "If you don't sell wine, I won't open my mouth." ”

The old shopkeeper solemnly got up for the first time, he looked at this old Confucian with a strange expression, he had been selling tea on this coast for many years, no one had ever known that he had made a living selling wine before selling tea, but the time had been very long, except for those who had drunk here hundreds of years ago, no one else would know, even the previous Xue Gong Sect Leader Su Ye and Demon Sect Leader Lin Hongzhu did not know that he had sold wine.

This old Confucian was the first person he met to ask for wine when he changed his career to sell tea.

Since they know the old things, they are most likely old friends.

The old shopkeeper dragged out a jar of wine under the counter that he didn't know how many hundred years had been and put it in front of the old Confucian student.

Then the old shopkeeper seemed to sit down in front of him with great difficulty.

The two old men completely ignored the tea-drinking boy who was nearby.

The old shopkeeper poured a bowl of wine for the old Confucian Sheng, then poured a bowl for himself, took a sip, felt the spicy feeling that he had not felt for hundreds of years, and then asked: "I haven't seen you for hundreds of years, I have forgotten who you are." ”

This sentence is true, when he sold wine, his temper was very strange, not that the great monk could not even enter his wine shop, so those who were fortunate enough to drink wine in his wine shop were at least monks in the Spring and Autumn Realm, at that time there were very few people who were qualified to become his wine customers, so he remembered his wine customers very clearly, but then he changed his career to sell tea, so he sold it no matter who it was, since then, he has seen many people, and he can't remember who has drunk wine in his wine shop.

The old shopkeeper smiled: "Most people can't remember clearly, but there is a guy named Meng Jin I remember very clearly, the last sword embryo Bai Zhihan, whose sword talent is second only to the swordsman's lineage, was already in the Spring and Autumn Realm, and he drank wine and entered the demon land, but unfortunately he couldn't come back in the end." Before leaving, he said that he had become a sword immortal, so he came back and drank wine in my wine shop. ”

"It seems like it's right here. ”

The old shopkeeper pointed to the young man beside him.

Old Confucian took a sip of wine and added: "Meng Jin didn't come back, it's just that he had an apprentice before he left, that person is called Xu Lian, and his kendo talent is not bad, that is, the current old ancestor of Sword Mountain, and even more likely to become a sword immortal than Chao Qingqiu back then, but now it seems that he is also dead." ”

Speaking of Chao Qingqiu, the old shopkeeper smiled a little, "I haven't drunk tea here in my later life, but there were two good seedlings here a few days ago." ”

The old Confucian picked up the wine bowl and sighed softly: "The people who can be remembered by you will not end well." ”

The old shopkeeper listened to this, and was about to smile, so he remembered the people he remembered, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he was really dead, from the beginning of Meng Jin to the current Northern Underworld, which one is an ordinary monk.

Aren't they all dead, they haven't even crossed that threshold.

He has lived too long, and he is used to seeing life and death parting, the old shopkeeper's heart has long been numb, he just stared at the old Confucian in front of him, and always felt familiar, but he really couldn't remember who he was.

The old Confucian drank a few more bowls of wine, and then asked Zhengse: "Except for Su Ye, have you ever seen a brilliant scholar?"

The old shopkeeper thought about it carefully, but he really didn't think about it.

The old Confucian patted his head and said anxiously: "It's the scholar whose name is not very bright." ”

The old shopkeeper sighed, and there was no sudden realization, but he just said flatly: "After drinking tea, I went to the demon land, and if I think about it carefully, it was more than a hundred years ago, what, you want to find him?"

The old Confucian said calmly: "If you can see him in the demon land, it will naturally be an excellent thing." ”

The old shopkeeper seemed to have lost any energy, and asked casually, "What about the other things?"

The old Confucian smiled and asked, "Don't you want to take that last step?"

The old shopkeeper, who had lost his spirit, just smiled after hearing this, "It's not easy to live, but it's not difficult to die." ”

Beihai had only died before a Canghai.

That's the price to pay for taking the last step.

Old Confucian frowned and said, "After living for so many years, you have lost all your courage?"

Yes, the old shopkeeper did not look like a great monk all along, but like an old dog that was struggling to die, even though that day was still years away.

The old shopkeeper still shook his head, "As long as you can live, being a human and a dog is not a difficult thing to choose." ”
