"Go on, the wind and the snow, the song and the swallow dance, what a good thing, wasn't it very lively just now?"

The old gentleman's eyes were closed, his hands were clasped and hung down on his abdomen, as if the old monk was settled, solemn, ignoring the red dust and mundane things, the young people looked down left and right, scratching their ears and cheeks, Su Changmo was facing Xia Ling at the railing on the second floor, not bowing his head, not looking up, panicked, and extremely embarrassed.

"Let me hear you again, I'll chop you up and feed them to the dogs. Before the words fell, the wine jar on the table exploded, but the fragments of wine did not fall on a few people at all, but it was too sudden, and several people were already frightened, and Su Changmo leaned back directly and fell to the ground.

Everyone looked up, the girl was nowhere to be seen, the door was closed, as if no one had just spoken upstairs.

The old gentleman opened his eyes leisurely and raised the only glass of wine left in front of him, "There are women like this, the sorrow of men, and the luck of the world." ”

Tang Ying looked at the old gentleman pretending with disgust, he was angry, got up and pulled the old gentleman's beard across the table, and said viciously: "I let you pretend, let you pretend, you are an old disrespectful, a prodigal scholar." ”

The old gentleman stretched his neck and said in pain: "The old man's neck is about to break, you little bastard, you turn your face and don't recognize people after listening to the story, you white-eyed wolf, you don't have any conscience." ”

Xu Jingmo knocked on Tang Ying's arm with chopsticks, and the young man slowly withdrew his hand and shook his head at the old gentleman.

Mu Haoru looked at the second floor again, and made sure that Xia Ling was really no longer there, so he turned around and said, "Old man, you can't do this again in the future, you can't tell such stories to children often." ”

The old gentleman rewarded the young man with a snap of his fingers on his forehead, and responded again and again, "I know, I know, the old gentleman should remember it." ”

Su Changmo patted the dust on his body and sat down, and suddenly said to this Si Shen: "Can you calculate when the first snow will fall?"

Si Shen pinched his forehead and smiled awkwardly: "This master really hasn't taught." ”

"It's okay, it's not in a hurry, it's estimated that it will only be a day or two depending on the weather, and we should be able to stay for some time anyway." Xu Jingmo took a jar of wine that Su Changmo brought again, and then said, "It's 'reunion' again?

Su Changmo said disapprovingly: "It's okay, there is still an altar." I'm going to make it again, what's that? ”

Xu Jingmo shook his head, did not uncover the mud seal, put it back on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Then this altar will be left for one person to take a little when we leave, and don't drink it first, as for the last altar, don't give it to anyone to drink, just keep it for your uncle and aunt for the New Year." ”

Su Changmo nodded, silent, on the first day of the previous year, several people would go to sit in front of his father's grave together, Xu Jingmo chattered endlessly, saying that Su Changmo's rotten good heart, Tang Ying's mouth was the sweetest, and he said something to make the elders happy, Si Shen was the quietest, and always cleaned the two graves, Mu Haoru read and recited poems on the side, and said which gentleman said that Su Changmo knew etiquette even if he didn't enter the school, and he was a good offspring.

In previous years, the old gentleman bore the brunt of snowball fights, but today, his expression is a little unnatural.

"Let's build a snowman into an old gentleman this year, and looking at the appearance of the pot-bellied poop will definitely bring us good luck. Tang Ying gestured in the air to the size of the old gentleman's head.

The old gentleman looked around and said with a pleased smile: "They have all grown up, and in the future, they have to take care of themselves, and when they go out, they are no better than our town." ”

Xu Jingmo said with a smile: "The old gentleman is also sentimental today. ”

"When you're old, you can't bear to be born. ”

Su Changmo smiled: "Isn't there still me, I'm not in a hurry to go, and I can't go far, and I can often come to see Mr." ”

Xu Jingmo put down his chopsticks and said softly: "The last story last time, Mr. wanted to tell us that kindness is rewarded, so that we can uphold good thoughts and not change our original intentions." ”

The old gentleman was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect Xu Jingmo to guess this, his eyes were both surprised and satisfied, "You can teach." ”

In fact, not only Xu Jingmo alone, all the teenagers have more or less guessed in their hearts, but now they are more certain.

Su Changmo was confused when he heard it, and asked later: "What is the story? Why are you still secretly carrying me?" ”

The old gentleman didn't wait for the anxious Tang Ying to speak, and said first: "I'll talk to you separately when I have time." ”

Su Changmo was suddenly triumphant, and raised his chin at Tang Ying.

"In the future, in all the immortal sects, you have to practice well, your competition in this town, after all, is a small fight, all kinds of learning experience in the future, it will be dead, don't take it lightly, you don't have to care too much about each other, this world is big and big, small and small, each sect, each continent, there are often trials and competitions, it is easy to meet each other, and then maybe it will be an opponent, the more advanced the realm of Xuan Xiu, the smaller the world, until one day you even feel that the world can not accommodate yourself, want to try to break through it with your own strength。 ”

As soon as the words fell, the old gentleman covered his mouth with one hand, and a trace of blood overflowed from his fingers, and the teenagers panicked as if they had been struck by lightning.

On the second floor, Da Ge sighed slightly, waved his palm lightly, the old gentleman put down his hand, there was not the slightest blood before, Tang Ying stepped on the stool, and was angry, "Old thing, are you playing with us?"

The old gentleman laughed, "Isn't this a test of whether you are white-eyed wolves?" Uncle Tang is so stingy?"

Tang Ying snorted coldly and sat down heavily, and in this mood, I think you are a white-eyed wolf, you are very happy if we are leaving.

"Why you were born now everyone should know well, this imminent chaos in the world, many people see you as a savior, and many people see you as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, as for what kind of attitude everyone has, people are separated from the belly, no one knows, so you must not become a bargaining chip on the chessboard of others, think more about everything. ”

Everyone restrained their laughing expressions and listened quietly, Xu Jingmo suddenly spoke: "Does the old gentleman know that there is another mystery behind the so-called Terran holy relics and the battle between Jiucang?"

Other people don't care, they don't know if they want to get Xu Jingmo, but Xu Jingmo himself has a lot of doubts about these two things, not because the boy knows anything, but because Xu Jingmo is born with more conclusive and convinced things about everyone, the more he wants to ask why, the more he wants to find out.

The old gentleman's expression instantly darkened, and he said softly: "As soon as the holy relic is said, the time is too long, and the authenticity has long been impossible to study, I only know, but no one in Jiucang has ever admitted to stealing the holy relics of the human race, and even what the holy relics are, there are different opinions, and the human race itself does not know." ”

"As for the war between Jiucang and the human race, you only need to know that retaking the holy relics is only one of the reasons, and the reasons behind it are not simple, but I have no way of knowing the specific inside story, there is a strange phenomenon that even if Jiucang and the other six continents are incompatible, they have the same business and trade with each other, and there are also personnel exchanges, and they are not completely isolated from each other, and the reason is intriguing. ”

Su Changmo and the others heard it even more foggy, and they didn't know why, so they had to write it down first, and pay attention slowly in the future, hoping to understand it.

"In the future, they will all be those immortals on the mountain, and today they should drink the 'Eighteen Immortals'. and all that I drink today is credited to me. The old gentleman said loudly, signaling Su Changmo to move the altar "Eighteen Immortals".

The young men also accompanied the old gentleman to drink non-stop one by one, and when the liquor entered his throat, his sorrow could be suppressed.

The old gentleman kept telling him, and the teenagers were not annoyed and listened very carefully.

"Those things are too far away from you, don't worry about it for the time being, even if you calculate that you can't fall on your head, what is in front of you is how to gain a firm foothold on the road of cultivation, you know, the resources of each sect are actually limited, but geniuses are always emerging, so there will inevitably be trade-offs, needless to say, the competition rankings within the sect are needless to say, each continent has the so-called heaven and earth two lists, and the so-called top ten, what you have to do is how to shine in these places, the higher you stand, the more people who can make a stumbling block behind your back, the more people will dare to be blatant, and the more people can respect you, so these things still have to be fought for。 ”

Xu Jingmo was puzzled: "Is it worth it?"

"Of course. ”

The old gentleman eats and drinks food, thinking in his heart, the next battle of ten people in the world, there are still twelve years, I should not be able to see it, I really don't know what kind of elegance these babies will be when they arrive.

The cups and plates are messy, the young man wants to fall, and what should be said and what should not be said is mixed in the wine, and everyone swallows it.

Sent out of the restaurant one by one, Su Changmo sent the old gentleman back to the room, although now everyone can use their spiritual power to dissipate the smell of alcohol, but no one does this.

The teenagers staggered all the way home, and unexpectedly, the uncles and elders in their respective families were all guarding the door, ready to go.

In Xu's house, the young man who didn't want to get up and leave the room without looking at it said softly: "Really don't go to say goodbye, if they all go, if you don't go, Su Changmo may misunderstand you." ”

Xu Jingmo played with the two short swords in his hand and laughed softly: "You must have no friends." ”

Heartlessness is like a fish in the throat, how many years ago did he and that senior brother count as friends?

"He won't, and they won't go. ”

"Oh?"

"So you don't have any friends, and you have to ask. Anyway, this short sword is really an immortal product?"

Wuxin said proudly: "One child and two swords, rare in the world." ”

Xu Jingmo didn't understand what a double sword was, and he didn't bother to understand, as long as it was a good thing, the young man threw the sword on the table, stared at Wuxin and said in a deep voice: "Give this sword to Su Changmo tomorrow and keep it for self-defense." ”

Without waiting for the man to speak, Xu Jingmo followed the person of the Nine Realms Holy Sect and walked towards the outside of the house, with only an ordinary mortal dagger on his waist.

Tang Ying was shocked by the moment he saw that uncle, and said coldly: "You can't wait a few more days, rush to reincarnate or stay a few more days and die?"

The man looked apologetic, but he was also helpless and silent.

"Wait for me to go and change my clothes. The boy's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse.

Tang Ying wore a rather old-fashioned white power suit, which was the clothing standard of the knights, and muttered to himself, "Don't scold me." The next time we meet, it's a big deal to give you a beating. ”

Si Shen followed Jiuying, turned around three times in one step, wiped the tears in his eyes over and over again, and the young man didn't bring anything, only a black cloth belt with exquisite embroidery in his arms, which was the same as the blindfold used by the young man before, which was generally the same.

Mu Haoru locked himself in the room and cried, and a quarter of an hour later, the young man went out, and with only one "go", he buried his head and rushed out of the town, with a ringing around his waist, and his spiritual power was uncertain, as if he had not healed from a serious injury. "Brother, you must come to see me earlier. ”

That night, there was a young man in a green shirt, all the way to nine miles outside the town, Liyue went down the mountain, and did not return all night.

This night, the snow fell.
