Chapter Seventy-Four: Three Cups of Turano, Five Mountains Are Light!
Ten days later, Chu Chou and Zhao Zhishui came to a place where Chu Chou had stayed.
This place is called Qincheng, and hundreds of years ago it was the capital of a great dynasty called Great Qin. At that time, the core of the entire Northern Wilderness was here, where the world's commercial houses, wealthy dignitaries, and scholars and doctors all drank or discussed poetry or words.
In the past, Qincheng was not only very prosperous with people, but also attracted the Jianghu rangers or literati from the Northern Wilderness to come and play.
Qinshan is picturesque and silky, when you go to the country and return home.
It's good for the prince and grandson to come, and the ridge flowers are mostly broken intestine branches!
There are great poets who touch the scene when they lean on this column.
The faint flying bridge is separated by smoke, and the fishing boat is asked on the west side of the rock.
The peach blossoms have been flowing with the water recently, where is the hole in the clear stream?
There are great hermits who seek seclusion and adventure here.
Don't come to the spring and a half, it's shocking and soft. The brick falls like snow, and the body is still full.
There are people who are sad in this spring, sad in autumn, and lonely in the world.
The prosperity of the past is gone.
Qincheng was built a thousand years ago, and became the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty 800 years ago, and it has been prosperous for more than 300 years.
Chu Chou and Zhao Zhishui slowly walked into this thousand-year-old Qin city, and as soon as they entered the ancient city, a breath of vicissitudes rushed towards them.
Different from the Divine Emperor City, although Qincheng is also one of the top ten ancient cities in the Northern Wilderness, it is not as prosperous as the Divine Emperor City, and it is not like a former imperial capital here, but like a place of interest, and the people who come here are all people who rely on their condolences.
The quaint bluestone street, the low shops on both sides, the closed doors in the alleys, the occasional patch of barren grass on the side of the road, and the swallows in the air fly into the old Wang Xie Tang from time to time. All of this makes people feel lonely and empty.
"I'm going to find someone, I don't know if it'......"
Chu Chou took Zhao Zhishui to a place in the city, to find an old man.
Back then, Chu Chou wanted to go to the rivers and lakes for the first time, so he walked the land of six states, starting from the Eastern Regions, passing through the Northern Wilderness, the West Pole, and then directly entering Zhongzhou, and finally entering the realm of Jiupin in Zhongzhou, and then returning to the Eastern Regions, at that time, he was close to the year of knowing the destiny of heaven.
The first time I walked the rivers and lakes, I walked the rivers and lakes of Banjiazi, and met a lot of friends, elders, juniors, brothers, etc. At that time, Chu Chou still asked Chu to ask, and he only looked at the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, never looked back, and never knew about the thing that made him unable to let go of his life.
In this Qin City, he had a close friend in the past, and the two of them could be regarded as brothers in distress back then, and they could give their lives to each other's friendship.
They had walked thousands of miles of rivers and lakes together, and at that time they were all young monks of the middle and third grades, fighting side by side, fleeing for their lives together, drinking and chatting together, and yearning for the peak of the avenue of heaven and earth together.
"Chu asked, one day after a long time, I will set foot in the legendary Nine Grades realm! When the time comes, you kid will wait to invite me to a bar every day! And every time you have to serve me wine, hahaha!"
"Wen Jiu, you can't do it! Don't look at you and me now, in a few years, in a few years, Lao Tzu will dump you on a dozen streets, just this kind of street in Qincheng! Don't believe it, I can see what the ending of your kid is, and in the end it will be the scene of loneliness and old age. Look at it, the girl next door to your house looks at me differently from the way she looks at you, this looks bad, it's a hard injury!"
"Roll the calf! You stinky boy, when Lao Tzu is in the realm of nine grades, you can change your appearance, and when the time comes, I will pick the top ten beauties in the world!"
"With your talent, I like all three products!"
At that time, the two of them were like dogs planing in the sea of rivers and lakes, and when they were tired, they lay on the ground at will, mocked each other a few words, scolded each other, and then had the strength to stand up and walk the rivers and lakes.
Chu Chou and the two of them were originally going to go to Zhongzhou together, to go to the place where there is no empire, only rivers and lakes to have a look. Who knew that Chu Chou and Wen Jiu were about to leave the Northern Wilderness and go to the West Pole, Wen Jiu suddenly "woke up" and knew that there was a beautiful woman waiting for him, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Chu Chou, and then returned to Qincheng to find the girl who lived next door to his house.
Back then, after Chu Chou waited for the Jiupin realm, he came here and wanted to say goodbye to Wen Jiu. But Wen Jiu and the girl next door no longer live here, Chu Chou thought, they should have died together and lived in seclusion.
This time, Chu Chou felt something, and felt that he might meet that good brother in the past.
Along the way, Zhao Zhishui listened to Chu Chou talk about the various deeds of walking the rivers and lakes with that Wen Jiu senior in the past, and was only dumbfounded.
Chu Chou said that the two of them were tired of walking, so they lay directly on the dirty ground, if there was grass better, it would be more comfortable to lie down, the two of them were very hungry back then, and they were penniless, so they stole sweet potatoes in the ground, stole potatoes, stole corn, and roasted and ate after stealing, I heard that the thief was fragrant. The two also pee and together, and they pee farther and more than anyone else...... It can be said that the two of them walked the rivers and lakes at that time, full of all kinds of strange things.
Zhao Zhishui listened to these things, looked at the master strangely, and felt that the master at that time was the master's true character, and the current personality and state of mind were just covered with a certain layer of things.
The two walked through a dozen streets and finally stopped at the mouth of a remote alley in the south of the city.
"That's it. Chu Chou looked at the overgrown scene in the alley and whispered.
In fact, when Chu Chou was outside the city, he could directly use his internal force to explore the scene here, and he could directly "see" the scene at Wen Jiu's house, but he didn't want to know the answer so early, so he wanted to walk slowly like he did when he first went to Wen Jiu's house.
The two slowly entered the small alley, and there were more than a dozen families in the alley, but the doors were all closed.
Suddenly, Chu Chou's eyes lit up.
At the end of the alley, the wooden door of the penultimate house is half hidden!
Chu Chou smiled, then walked over with Zhao Zhishui and gently knocked on the door with his hand.
A moment later, an old and hoarse voice came from the courtyard: "Who?"
Chu Chou took a deep breath, then pushed open the door with a smile on his face, looking at the people in the courtyard.
The people in the courtyard were speechless, obviously stunned.
"Chu asked, you stinky boy! Lao Tzu still thought you were dead!" the people in the courtyard looked at Chu Chou and said angrily.
"Oh, Brother Wen, what's wrong with you? Why are you breaking one of your arms and legs? Being beaten? It seems that you don't mix very well, don't you have a good brother who is invincible in the world? Why didn't you find your good brother to help you? What's the matter? You kid is so cheeky that you're afraid of being embarrassed?" Chu Chou walked in front of the people in the courtyard and said with a smile.
"Lao Tzu is afraid that he will call my brother here and directly overturn this Northern Wilderness! Hey! You kid doesn't have a brother like Lao Tzu! My brother, this is the cultivation of the peak of the nine grades, how about it? Envy, right?"
"I'm sorry...... I've only come to see it once in so many years, and I came in a hurry, and I haven't seen you. Chu Chou looked at this brother who was in high spirits and walked the rivers and lakes together in the past, but now he is so old and miserable, and his eyes are a little moist when he smiles.
", it's the same whether you kid comes or not, I'm living a very good life, at least I'm not lonely and old, and Amei and I are getting old with gray hair. Look at your bear, you still haven't found her, right?" Wen Jiu squinted at Chu Chou, the corners of his mouth were also smiling, and his eyes were still as playful as back then.
"I'll never find ......," Chu said with a bitter smile.
Wen Jiu glanced at the little girl who was a little stunned at the gate of the courtyard, and then asked, "Born Sword Embryo, your disciple?"
"Hmm. Chu Chou nodded, and then motioned for Zhao Zhishui to come in.
Wen Jiu is now at the peak of the seventh grade, he is already one hundred and forty years old, if it is not for the high realm and the body can support it, otherwise he will definitely not be able to live now. Half a year ago, after that Amei left the world in old age and without illness and disaster, he returned to this alley full of memories, to live his last days here, and he had a hunch that his Chu Daoist brother was not dead, and would come to him one day.
"Hey, what are you doing here, hurry, even though I'm old, it's still okay to drink. Let's walk?"
"Let's go!"
