Chapter 19: Who Can Live Forever?
"You don't like women?"
In the carriage, Ding Ning looked at Xue Wangxu suspiciously: "Or is there something wrong with your body?"
"What do children know!"
Seeing that Ding Ning was still tirelessly discussing this issue with himself, Xue Wangxu was suddenly a little annoyed.
Ding Ning stubbornly asked, "Then why?"
"It's just not interesting. ”
Xue Wangxu looked at the calm Ding Ning, he couldn't even get angry, and said helplessly: "Wine as a song is naturally a happy thing in life, but most of the vulgar fans in the wind and dust, especially after seeing too much, I feel that it is boring." ”
Ding Ning suddenly looked like he was re-examining Xue Wangxu.
"You don't need to look at me like that. Xue Wangxu said slightly: "Who doesn't have a time when they are young and frivolous, especially when they are stuck in a certain realm during their cultivation, and they can't break through for many years, and there is no progress at all, they feel depressed in their hearts, and it is normal to find a restaurant to drink flower wine." It's just that there are a lot of scenes on the spot, and I don't think it's interesting at all, this person is a loving thing after all, and he can't escape a love word in his life. For me, no matter how young and beautiful a woman pours me wine, it is impossible to have that real pleasure after all, and if there is something missing, it is better not to do it. ”
Ding Ning frowned slightly, he thought about it, looked at Xue Wangxu and asked seriously: "Then you have been in Changling for so long, have you never met a woman you really like?"
Xue Wangxu suddenly fell silent.
After a few breaths, he smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I will go back to Changling to see her." ”
......
......
The carriage traveled on the official road back to Changling.
Maybe it was the sword that had been accumulated for a long time that was finally stabbed out heartily, or maybe it was a little tired from using all his strength to fight with Feng Qianyun, in the next ten days, Xue Wangxu's words were obviously a lot less, but the time to close his eyes and recuperate seemed to be sleeping was much more.
In the evening, the carriage, which had changed wheels several times, and the carriage and curtain were already covered with dust, finally drove into the Changling Mausoleum, which had no city walls.
When the dusty carriage slowly traveled along the straight streets and alleys crisscrossed by Changling, it stopped at one place. Ding Ning is extremely uncalm.
He lifted the curtains of the car in disbelief, looked at the building in front of him, and asked in a very shocked and admiring tone: "The woman you really like is actually here?"
Even an official residence, or a flower building, could not shock him so much.
Because he knows the place in front of him.
This place of gray tiles in the Yellow Courtyard is one of the few temples in Changling, and it is also full of incense on weekdays.
Could it be that Xue Wangxu has such a taste, and what he likes is a nun?
"What do you want!"
Just knowing at a glance what Ding Ning was slandering in his heart at the moment, Xue Wangxu suddenly let out a low shout, slapped a palm on Ding Ning's body, and almost slapped Ding Ning out of the carriage directly.
"Get out of the car with me. ”
Xue Wangxu glanced at Ding Ning, got out of the car first, and went straight into this temple.
In front of the main hall of the temple, there are several ginkgo trees, which have been planted for many years, and they must be surrounded by several people, and the branches and leaves are dense.
On each side are two release ponds.
Xue Wangxu stopped in front of the release pool on the left.
Ding Ning stepped forward without understanding, only to see that there were many obsessed red carp swimming around, and there were many turtles and turtles climbing on some rocks in the pool.
Before he could speak, Xue Wangxu stretched out his hand and pointed, and an extremely pure True Yuan pierced into the pool like a sword, exploding with a buzz near the bottom of the pool.
A millstone-like thing suddenly floated up.
At this time, Ding Ning noticed that this was an old turtle that had grown for an unknown number of years, and its back shell was as deep as the color of bluestone, and at this moment it was directly stunned by the power of Xue Wangxu's true yuan.
Xue Wuxu stretched out his hand, and when the people in this temple hadn't noticed, he directly grabbed the old turtle and flashed out quickly.
Ding Ning looked at the water trail under his feet and didn't react for a while.
He hurriedly chased to the door, looked at Xue Wangxu, who was already about to get into the carriage, and couldn't understand it at all, "What are you doing here?"
Xue Wangxu casually threw the old turtle like a small grinding plate under the seat of the carriage and said, "Naturally, it is stewed and eaten." ”
Ding Ning was stunned again, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the release pool: "If you're not kidding... That doesn't seem like a good idea, right?"
Xue Wangxu glanced at him faintly and said, "Get in the car." ”
Ding Ning couldn't figure it out.
He knew that there must be a reason for what he couldn't understand, so he didn't think about it anymore, just watched.
The carriage stopped in front of a restaurant.
It's a small restaurant, but it looks like it's doing good business.
Under Xue Wangxu's orders, the kitchen of this restaurant really picked up and stewed this old turtle, and a casserole full of basin-sized casseroles was brought to Xue Wangxu and Ding Ning.
Xue Wangxu still didn't explain anything, just calmly raised the spoon and ate meat.
Ding Ning didn't ask anything, eating meat and drinking soup.
Regardless of the origin of this old turtle, the chef of this small restaurant does have some means, and the meat of this old turtle is a little scattered in advance, and after it is stewed, it does not feel too old, but it is strong and delicious.
It took a lot of time to stew this old turtle.
Xue Wangxu asked for a few pots of flower carvings, and Ding Ning ate all the casserole turtles, and when he walked out of this restaurant, it was already night, and the winter was even colder.
However, Xue Wangxu didn't mean to rest, he just told the man who had been helping Baiyang Cave to drive the car to go back to rest on his own, and then he didn't take the car anymore, but slowly walked through the streets and alleys of Changling with his hands.
Ding Ning followed him silently, walking in the darkness of the winter night in Changling.
After passing through more than ten streets and alleys, Xue Wangxu stopped at a mound.
In front of the mound, there is a small pond.
On the slope of the mound, there is a grave.
Ding Ning was inexplicably a little awake, he took a deep breath and looked at Xue Wangxu.
Xue Wangxu's cheeks were a little red, but his expression was more peaceful than usual.
"This is the woman I like the most, but when I was young, before I could really speak, she had the person she liked. At that time, my brother and I were only focused on cultivation and missed a lot of time. It's just that if I had to choose again, I might not have said it at that time. Because although she is married to an ordinary businessman, she has lived a very happy and beautiful life in Changling, even if it is me, it is impossible for her to live a happier life. ”
Xue Wangxu smiled, he turned his head to look at Ding Ning, and said: "That old turtle, I had an idea when I was young, when I looked at this turtle by the pool, I suddenly had a thought in my heart that I didn't know what it tasted like, just thinking that it was something that was released by others, and I was embarrassed to sneak it out and try it after all." ”
"At that time, I was young, and I had a lot of interesting thoughts in my head, and I might be happy if I did it, but now I am too old, and many people and many things are long gone, even if I want to leave no regrets, I want to do what I wanted to do before, but I didn't want to do it for various reasons, and there are few things that can be done, only this old turtle is still there, and it will not be there after today. ”
"Now that I think about it, the current Changling is like that waterhole for me, I am already an old turtle that is not dead, and it doesn't make much sense to be trapped in this waterhole. ”
Xue Wangxu laughed, he glanced at Ding Ning, then turned to look at the grave, and said, "But I did what I wanted to do for a long time, the taste of the old turtle is really good, and I have come to see her again, I am really happy." ”
Listening to Xue Wangxu's usual words, which were a little chaotic and repetitive at this time, Ding Ning shook his head gently, frowned slightly, and said: "Since it's a happy thing, don't say it so heavily, don't say it as if you have to finish the last few things, let me send you the end." ”
"Life has an end of life, who can live forever?"
Xue Wangxu turned around indifferently and began to leave, but his face became solemn, and he said slowly: "Others may not understand the queen's methods, but my senior brother and I know each other very well, from the time my senior brother and I rejected her, and divided the spiritual veins of the Aries Cave into three strands to the Aries Cave and were forced to merge into the hospital, it was only half a month. It has taken us more than ten days to return to Changling from Zhushan County... So it's almost time. ”
Ding Ning lowered his head slightly and said softly: "I didn't know she was so ruthless before. ”
Xue Wuxu didn't know the true meaning of Ding Ning's words, looked at him with a kind of pity, and said softly: "You have to understand that the higher the position of Changling, the colder it is, and the higher the person who can sit, the more ruthless it is. ”
Ding Ning followed behind him silently.
Seeing his extremely faint shadow fall on his body in the dark night, he said slowly: "I remember that you promised me to see that I would give you the real scenery in Minshan Sword." ”
Xue Wangxu paused, turned his head, and said solemnly: "I will try my best." ”
Ding Ning took a deep breath, and he looked up at Changling in the distance.
His gaze was strange at this moment.
He was obviously not as tall as those immutable buildings, but he seemed to be looking at this Changling from a high vantage point.
