The square table added a few more benches, and the young man gathered around, and the cold in the house subsided in an instant.

Tang Ying is the only young man who can talk to the old gentleman, not because he is the most well-read, but because he is not afraid of heaven and earth, even if he is swearing, he can keep yelling with the old gentleman, and he will never fall behind in terms of momentum, and the others will be thinner.

The story of the town in the past two months was naturally told by Tang Ying, and the old gentleman did not delve into it, but just gags and ridiculed, and whenever he was in his heart, he opened his mouth to ask Xu Jingmo, this young man is the most able to get to the point, and it is also the most pertinent, but today Xu Jingmo also accommodated Tang Ying, and Tang Ying boasted about his "ruler in hand, the world bows down" in those few battles, and did not correct it.

Tang Ying looked at the old gentleman's eyes a little more proudly. As long as you are the best, it doesn't matter if it's true or not.

The old gentleman tells stories in the town, but he also writes books, but he never uses pen and paper, but re-compiles the big and small stories of the town, which can become a completely different new story, and then listen to others, this ability is what Tang Ying admires the most.

The right number was seated, tacitly, and several teenagers were also full of joy when they heard it. The self in the story is outstanding.

So after that, all the big and small novelties were told to Mr., in order to be able to stay in the story and spread fame, even if only he knew that he was talking about himself, but isn't this exactly the style of those heroes of the rivers and lakes?

To this day, there are seventeen or eighteen stories of young people in small towns, and Tang Ying feels very relieved, the old gentleman is not bragging about this ability.

Xu Jingmo looked at the old gentleman who seemed to be drunk and dazed, and asked softly: "Why don't Mr. rest first today, after a few months of tiring travel, I am very tired when I think about it." ”

"Laugh at me? I have been talking about books for half my life, I will be afraid of the fatigue of the boat and car?" The old gentleman instantly struggled to get up, stood unsteadily and swayed to the seat, the stool was crooked, and Si Shen and Mu Haoru, who were sitting on the same stool, staggered and held the old gentleman tightly.

Si Shen and Mu Haoru are relatively calm, every time they like to listen to the old gentleman's small talk, they don't say much, just listen quietly, and only open their mouths if they are asked.

Tang Ying didn't wait for Xu Jingmo to reply, then took over the conversation, "Who dares to say that you can't be old, isn't it because I'm afraid that you will be tired and we won't have a story to listen to." ”

The old gentleman shook his shirt, scattered with the smell of wine, reached out and touched Mu Haoru's shoulder and said with a smile: "What's the use of listening to the story no matter how much you listen, you have to learn to take its essence and discard its dross, you have to understand in your heart whether you want to hear the benevolence, righteousness, etiquette or chivalrous courage in the story, if you don't even know this, wouldn't it be a waste of my tongue?"

Xu Jingmo thought about it with his eyebrows, and was a little surprised, although he had never said it on the surface, but several people had always known in their hearts that the stories of the old gentleman were not only wonderful outside the town, but also more of a sincere teaching to a few people, imperceptibly, every time the old gentleman focused on what he talked about, and what he argued with the teenagers, all of them were the good side of the world, but the old gentleman had never said it so straightforwardly.

"Don't you know, isn't it a waste of our years of affection?" Tang Ying poured himself a glass of wine, and when he put down the flask, he picked it up again and added a glass to the old gentleman.

The few dishes served by Chu Xing had already eaten about the same, Xu Jingmo motioned to the young man to take a few more, and the old man nodded with satisfaction, in the end, he became a disciple of the Immortal Sect, his eyesight was better, and he was generous, if it was in the past, these little devils would be eager to clean their money bags and invite them to drink and eat.

Wine and food, the old gentleman's brows are not stretched, since he found that he has no power to return to the sky, he has come here to educate these teenagers early, but today's incident, should he tell these teenagers that he is also inconsistent, very calculating old bastard, listening to what the young man said before, he was already dissatisfied with those old turtles of the Immortal Sect in his words, and he wanted to make matters worse?

Mu Haoru was closest to the old gentleman, looked at it for a long time and asked suspiciously, "The old gentleman has something on his mind?"

"No, if you are full of wine and food, why should you be sad. ”

Xu Jingmo has always been the most astute, but at this time he is also a little uncertain, "Qi Ziyin went to the Nine Realms Holy Sect like me, and Sun Bu went to Cangming Valley, although we don't know much about these two, but the strength alone should be considered good, it is already okay, as for the future road to go by yourself, the old gentleman does not have to worry." ”

"Both of these are good, I know that, don't worry. ”

Xu Jingmo's brows tightened, he thought that the two of them were not a little sad with the old gentleman today, but he didn't think about it, but it wasn't for this, although Qi Ziyin Sun didn't leave a cold temperament, in fact, a few people were often able to get together before, and the old gentleman was the same for several people, but after these foreign teenagers entered the town, they suddenly broke off contact completely, and Xu Jingmo himself was a little unexpected.

But what made Xu Jingmo even more puzzled was why the old gentleman was not surprised by what he said about the cultivation of these immortals, at this time, even the Nine Realms Holy Sect and the Cangying Valley had heard of it, this was too abnormal, according to what his uncle said, even if ordinary mortals had heard a little about cultivation, they were categorically ignorant of these mountain immortal sects.

"Sir, have you heard about cultivation before?"

The old gentleman looked at the puzzled Xu Jingmo, seemed to have made up his mind, drank and smiled: "I haven't had to go through the rivers and lakes a few times, where does the pride and courage come from?

The young people were stunned for a moment, and when everyone argued over the years, they had not been less satirical about the old man's story and truth, all of which were on paper, and he didn't think that the old man was a hermit master, and he sat down with words and deeds?

Tang Ying instantly lay on the table, tugged at the old gentleman's beard, and the painful old gentleman just drank a sip of wine, leaking out most of it, and then touched the gentleman's forehead, muttering: "I'm not sick, I know that it hurts, is there something wrong with my mind?"

The young man propped his hands on the table, "Sir, haven't you been hurt by some foxy women in other towns in the past two months?

The old gentleman smiled and wiped the wine beads off his beard with his cuffs, "What nonsense are you talking about, can a woman hurt my heart? ”

Raising a glass and stroking his beard, the old gentleman was crying.

Tang Ying snorted coldly, and sat down instantly, "The old immortal is not playing me, just this mouth, like there is something wrong?"

Si Shen picked the edge of the table with both hands, put it under his chin, and asked slowly, "Does Mr. really know?"

The old gentleman touched the young man's hair towel and replied softly: "The old man has never deceived you. ”

The young people at the table all stopped smiling and looked serious.

The old gentleman sat down, put down the wine glass, and said in a deep voice: "In the early years, I met an immortal on the mountain, and saw that I was a poor but ambitious scholar, so he casually taught me a few tricks of the Tao method, so I am half a cultivator, and I know a lot about cultivation, but I am not talented enough, and I can only crawl in the red dust for a lifetime." ”

After all, some things are said to be regretful in vain, but it is better to come and go cleanly, so as not to increase the troubles, occasionally lie, and not mind.

Everyone was instantly relieved, their expressions were relaxed, the calculations they had encountered over the years, and the old turtles they had seen were enough, if even this year-old friend who had been in his heart for several years was not pure, it was really sad.

"I'm really good at cultivating, it's amazing, it's deep enough to hide. ”

Tang Ying reluctantly changed places with Mu Haoru and sat next to the old gentleman, "What are you cultivating now?"

The old gentleman shrunk his neck and lowered his voice a little, "It's just a sea of qi." The words were modest but the look was quite proud, and the teenagers sighed for a while, after the Xuan's fetus was the sea of qi, which was at your fingertips for a few people here.

The old gentleman looked at the teenagers' interest and smiled awkwardly, "Why, now they are all above the top and look down on me?"

"No, no, no, how dare you look down on the old gentleman. ”

"I don't dare. ”

Xu Jingmo suddenly smiled and asked, "In the book that Mr. said before, there are also his own landscape stories?"

The old gentleman was agitated and said with a smile: "How can a scholar be so shameless, his story has to be commented on by others, otherwise it will be boastful and shameless." ”

Tang Ying glared at the old gentleman, poured a glass of wine hard, and grinned with spicy teeth, this "Eighteen Immortals" was really fierce.

After the old gentleman ate a piece of sauced beef on the last table, he sighed and let out a long breath of comfort, or the wine of our "water and clouds" is good and meaty.

"Although my realm is not high, but I have seen a lot of things, your experience over the years, do you want to listen to me, an old immortal, to give you a review?"

Everyone got up and saluted with Xu Jingmo, "The juniors listen attentively, but listen to the old gentleman's teachings." ”

The old gentleman stroked his beard and smiled, and raised his hand to let everyone sit down.

"There are many things that can't be done by manpower, this gift from heaven settled in the town, or the selection of you, and many events after birth, this is not your fault, so you don't have to feel that if you don't have this so-called talent, you can escape this life safely, without implicating your family, without involving relatives and friends, these things are destined, and you can only resist them shoulder to shoulder, a dignified man, no need to be sentimental about these things. ”

The teenagers were silent, just listened quietly, in fact, except for the hatred for foreign teenagers later, the first emotions of the teenagers were guilt, if it weren't for this heavenly favor, there would be no such foreign teenagers, and there would not be so many dangers, let alone far from home, parting ways with each other.

No matter how much he likes the stories of the rivers and lakes in his heart, the young man is still unwilling to let go of his neighbors and friends, this is the difference between children and adults, and the choice has never been reasonable.

"Today, there is a chance for the carp to jump into the dragon gate, then don't care if you are guilty of it, just turn into a dragon and go, in the future, you can give more to your family? ”

"Really?" asked Tang Ying suspiciously.

"Of course. ”

"Then I believe what Mr. said. ”

The old master poured wine and drank himself, "Xiao Mo's attack, you can't do anything and don't blame yourself, let alone be occupied by hatred in everything, not only does it not help, but also hurts the mind and messes people's minds, no matter who the person who makes the move, they have their own reasons for making a move, and they can talk about right and wrong, argue morality, love can not help, just wait for the opportunity, there are too many right and wrong in the world, do you have to take everything to heart? Cultivation is also important to let yourself cultivate your mind, not to help others correct right and wrong. ”

The young man was either contemplative, or nodded, and the old gentleman was slightly pleased, just listen to it, it doesn't matter if you can't do it for the time being. These children are emotional, which means that it is impossible to let go easily, so as long as they learn how to pick it up and not tire themselves, it is the best.

"As for the attitude of these immortal sects towards you, you don't need to mind, say something hurtful, in the future, you will not be the same, a sect spends huge resources to cultivate a highly talented disciple, all kinds of level temptations are indispensable, no one in the world will do a bamboo basket to draw water for an empty business, they are not aimed at you, on the road of cultivation, you can only become strong when you live, these people are also to make sure that you can live longer in the future, don't die out of the town, otherwise you will be taken out in a daze, then it is really irresponsible." 。 ”

Tang Ying snorted coldly, although he could understand the truth, but he just couldn't swallow this breath, his own teachers didn't protect the calves, so how could he go to the rivers and lakes in the future.

"On the path of cultivation, people's hearts are the most indifferent, everyone wants to go faster and higher, regardless of right and wrong, I hope that in the future, when you face those weak mortals, you can think more about right and wrong, and think more about human feelings. ”

Everyone looked a little lost, cultivation is an impersonal thing after all, what is the meaning.

The old gentleman looked at the hearts of young people with different weather, and said leisurely: "The stories I told are all true things in this world, and there is no need to deceive, in fact, this world is not so bad." ”

It seems to be to others, and it is also to oneself.

Tang Ying raised his head instantly, "Yes, those people in Mr.'s story are also good and bad, isn't that exciting, is it because of the bastards that we don't live?"

"Exactly. ”

The old gentleman took a sip of wine, smiled and nodded, in the end, it is a child, no matter what kind of mind comes and goes.

The old man has no intention of speaking again, some things are up to the point, these teenagers' hearts are knotted in these few places, others may be able to see it, but they don't necessarily say it, and the teenagers don't necessarily listen to it, since they have all these years of love, then do this gesture, but there is no need to say it too clearly, as for the deeper calculations behind it, knowing it will dirty the heart of the child.

Xu Jingmo said in a low voice: "The old gentleman's intention is to let us know evil and know good, and eliminate evil for good." ”

The old gentleman laughed, choking on a sip of wine and his eyes were red, "It makes my heart so good, wonderful, wonderful." ”

The teenagers smiled happily.

The old gentleman got up and waved his sleeves and shouted: "Xingmu bring it and tell you babies about two or three things in the world." ”

The old man glanced at the second floor inadvertently, after all, we couldn't get together today, and we had lost a few hours of time together, and we were not happy.

I have to leave him one or two "appetizers", no, it seems that I have to save a little bit of telling this story, which is becoming more and more rare.
