Volume 1 The First Entry into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 51 The Tao is a matter of life, and fate is inescapable
Changxia sunset, resident birds amphibious;
At this time, Tang Feng sat cross-legged next to Li Shixiu, he pinched a roasted duck leg in his hand, and with the other hand, he tore off a piece of duck meat from the duck leg and stuffed it into his mouth, he closed his eyes and chewed the deliciousness of the duck meat, a stream of oil juice flowed out from the corner of his mouth, Tang Feng sighed: "Well, it's really delicious." ”
Li Shixiu pinched another duck leg in his hand, he shook off his flowing red hair, and said to the two: "If you want to say that this duck meat is not eaten less, but the duck meat in that restaurant tastes too soft and fatty, and this meat is different, it tastes not firewood or fat, and it has a slight taste of nature, it is really the best in the game......
Nangong Bei tore half of the duck's breast, he laughed and said to the two: "Then you are lonely and unheard, this duck is not an ordinary ordinary wild duck, there are two white hairs above its eyes, so its name is white-browed pelican, and it is also the only duck that can fly into the sky." ”
Nangong Bei threw a piece of meat into his mouth and continued: "In the early years, I heard that although this white-browed pelican is a duck, they don't like to socialize with their own kind, but like geese. But the white-browed pelican didn't fly high enough to live with the wild goose at all......"
Hearing Nangong Bei say this, Tang Feng was also interested, he laughed and said: "Listening to Brother Nangong say this, this wild duck's ambition is very noble, after all, it is a person who goes to a high place, oh no, it is a duck that flies to a high place, and the water flows to a low place." ”
Li Shixiu nodded and praised: "Brother Tang Feng is reasonable, but what about later?"
Nangong Beidao: "Later, this white-browed pelican found that it could not fly high because of its fat body and degraded wings. So they left other species of mallards and flew to the top of the mountain to begin training and evolution. At first, they could only fly halfway up the mountain, but in less than three years, they were able to fly above our heads, and you know, this Zizhu Peak is so high that even a bird can hardly fly to this height. ”
Li Shixiu listened, he took the remaining half of the duck leg in his hand, and said to the duck leg reverently: "Brother Wild Duck, forgive me Li's clumsiness, I didn't see that you are so persevering and inspiring. With that, he took another bite of duck meat and chewed it in his mouth as a tribute.
At this time, Nangong Bei put another duck on the fire to barbecue, and then he untied a wine bag from the robe behind him, pulled out the stopper, and a smell of wine instantly filled the air around him, even people like Tang Feng who couldn't drink thought it smelled very good. Tang Feng asked, "What kind of wine is this, why is it so mellow?"
Nangong Bei carried the wine bag, and said with a smile: "This wine is called ten miles drunk, which means that people within ten miles smell the fragrance of this wine, and they are already drunk before they can taste it." This wine was bought by the way when I went to the southern border to eliminate demons last time, don't you look at this bag of wine is only two catties, but it cost three hundred taels of silver to buy it. ”
"Damn, you are really bloody, three hundred taels of silver, ordinary people don't know how many years it will take to save so much silver, where did you get so much money?" Tang Feng looked at the personable Nangong Bei in front of him and asked.
Li Shixiu patted Tang Feng on the shoulder and said to him: "You don't know, although they Zixiao Jade Void Palace are people in the Dao Sect, but when it comes to business, it is unmatched by our major Xiuzhen sects, it is said that they collect demons for the people to collect money, a strange demon is eighty taels of silver, you have not made a lot of money in the past few years, right, Brother Nangong." ”
After hearing this, Nangong spit out a duck bone from his mouth, and he glared at Li Shixiu and said: "Hey, I said Li Shixiu, where did you hear this, isn't this hearsay, let's adhere to the principle of not spreading rumors and not believing rumors." Besides, we collect money to get rid of demons, and all we collect is the money of the rich and rich people, and we don't take a penny of the money of the poor people, I swear to God......"
At this time, Tang Feng's stomach was already half full, he wiped the oil on his mouth, and asked Li Shixiu and the others: "I said two, you have to tell me this time, what happened that night, how long have I been in a coma, who is that Yan Lao, and what happened later......
Li Shixiu and Nangong Bei glanced at each other, Nangong Bei was busy turning over the roast duck in his hands, and he said: "This matter is a long story, Shixiu, you can talk about it." ”
Li Shixiu nodded, and he said to Tang Feng unhurriedly: "Brother Tang Feng, if you want to say that you are really fateful, that night we were shocked by the air wave and were thrown into the air, Nangong and I could only use spells to protect ourselves, but we couldn't protect you, which also made me and Nangong very guilty." ”
Li Shixiu paused and continued: "Later, Nangong and I found you under the corner of the east side of the woods, and when we saw that you were unconscious, we carried you back, from that night to today, you have been in a coma for three days, and you have not entered the water and rice for these three days, we thought you couldn't wake up. ”
Tang Feng frowned when he heard this, he rubbed his head, trying to recall what happened to him in the chaos, he asked Li Shixiu, "Three days? You mean I've been in a coma for three days? I don't think it took long, by the way, who is that Yan Lao, and where has he gone?" Tang Feng decided to ask everything clearly.
Nangong Bei pulled out a bone from his mouth, he threw it into the air casually, and the bone drew a graceful arc and fell into the grass on the side. Nangong Bei wiped his mouth, and said to Tang Feng with a serious face: "Brother Tang Feng, I heard something behind my back, if it's not true, you should listen to a joke." ”
Tang Feng looked at Nangong Bei's face so seriously, and he asked: "Brother Nangong, although it is the first time for you and I to deal with each other, but his friend Li Shixiu is my friend, if you have anything to say, you just say it to your face, and I, Tang Feng, will definitely tell the truth." ”
"Hey, in fact, it's nothing, yesterday when I went to the Shangqing Hall to greet my master, I heard Yan Lao talking to my master outside the door. I wanted to knock on the door and go in, but vaguely I seemed to hear Elder Yan talk about you, so I listened outside the door for a while...... "Nangong Bei said to Tang Feng.
Tang Feng looked surprised and said, "Elder Yan talked about me......?" If you don't mention Yan Lao, that old Yan is simply an old liar. That day I met him in the forest hanging to death, so he rescued him, he said that his daughter was caught by the flower thief of the lotus village, I followed him to the lotus cold to save people, which into the old liar did not have a daughter in the village, I was almost slaughtered by the owner of the village......"
Li Shixiu said on the side: "Brother Tang Feng, I heard them say about this matter, but you can't blame Yan Lao, I heard that you rescued more than 20 women in that lotus village, is there such a thing......?
Nangong Bei continued: "Yesterday outside the gate of the main hall, I heard Elder Yan say to my master Brother Tang Feng, what kind of person are you who should be robbed, at first I thought I had heard it wrong, and then my master Zixiao Zhenren asked Elder Yan again, saying Are you sure that the unconscious young man is the person who should be robbed? Only then do I dare to be sure that what they said is you, and then I can't hear what they say clearly......
Hearing the words of the person who should be robbed, Tang Feng's head buzzed, and the picture of him in Yingzhou appeared again. On the night before Tang Feng's departure, Tang Feng lay on the bed and did not fall asleep; beside him, he heard clearly what Guo Pu said to the old fairy and the old rock rat, and the old rock rat said that he was not the one who should be robbed, and Lao Guo said that the person who should be robbed died when he was born...... Why did this Yan Lao mention this matter again today, how did he know what kind of person he should be robbed? A series of questions arose in Tang Feng's heart.
After thinking about it for a long time, Tang Feng let out a long sigh, he put down the duck leg in his hand, and asked Li Shixiu with a decadent face: "Shixiu, Brother Nangong, I told you two that I am only eight years old this year, can you believe it?" As soon as Tang Feng said this, even he himself smiled bitterly, who the hell can believe it, now he doesn't even believe himself when he looks at himself......
On the side of the fire, Li Shixiu and Nangong Bei glanced at each other, and the two turned their heads to look at Tang Feng, and then shook their heads at the same time. It seems that these two people really can't believe it, after all, Tang Feng is sitting next to them, let alone eight years old, even eighteen years old is not very touched.
As the sun sets, the sunset leaves a scarlet in the western sky, dyeing the few remaining clouds in the sky red. The red light poured down, reflecting Li Shixiu and the three of them red, and the shadows behind them were also stretched very long. The mountain wind rose suddenly, and the trees on the side were whining in the wind, crying like a complaint......
At this time, Tang Feng touched the scene, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to the two: "This matter is a long story, I, Tang Feng, have no father and mother since I was a child, and I was raised by an old beggar. And yet just over a month ago, oh...... No, it was Yingzhou, fifteen years ago, I was eight years old, and it was the second year after my beggar grandfather died, oh...... It's not right, the beggar grandfather didn't die......"
Tang Feng suddenly found that his own experience was not understood by others at all, because it seemed to be wrong in terms of time, one day in Yingzhou was half a year in this world, and in the thirty days he was in Yingzhou, fifteen years had passed in this world, Lao Guo, Lao Guo, you fucking returned my fifteen years of youth......
Thinking of this, Tang Feng lowered his head and re-sorted out the story in his heart, and after a while, Tang Feng raised his head, and said to Li Shixiu and Nangong Bei: "Well, this matter starts fifteen years ago, when I was only eight years old, and that night, I couldn't beg for food, but was driven to a mountain temple by a vicious dog......
beside the two, before the fire;
Tang Feng told Li Shixiu and the others about his many years......
