The night wind swept away, roaring in every corner of the stone chamber. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This cave has been attacked by strong winds for thousands of years, and every stone wall has become smooth and flat, and every corner is free of dirt and dirt.

There was only one old Taoist priest, with a blue face and a disheveled bun, who sat in the wind for an unknown amount of time.

But the next moment, the wind suddenly stopped. A huge red-crowned crane flew up to the door. The woman jumped off the crane's back and waved her hand again.

The crane immediately turned into a piece of rune paper and landed in her palm.

So he took two steps forward and sketched a few strokes on the stone wall. A small lamp peeked out of the wall, illuminating the ashlar chamber.

Then I wiped it on the stone door and the stone window, and the snow-white and translucent window paper, which was enough to shield the wind and cold, also emerged from the void.

The room was quiet.

The old Taoist priest opened his eyes and saw Xin Xiliu standing three steps away from him, carrying a wooden box.

He didn't speak, just looked at her, and there was no sadness or joy on his face.

The woman also looked at him for a moment, and suddenly smiled slightly. So the room was full of spring.

"Within two days, I saw two Danqing Taoist priests outside of Yunshan. If I tell anyone else about this kind of thing, I won't believe it. She began to speak softly, and walked over to the old way, resting the wooden box on the wide stone bed. With a touch of his thin fingers, he lifted the lid -

A strong aroma of wine and meat came to the face.

Lao Dao still didn't have any expression on his face...... But the throat did move.

Then, Xin Xiliu slowly took the contents of the wooden box out.

First a jug of wine. It was packed in a silver kettle with two small silver pots. Pinched gold wire, inlaid with soybean-sized rubies, very beautiful.

Then there is a marinated chicken wing. The color is golden, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender. Served in an ebony plate, resting on the lap of the old way.

There is also a plate of salted crispy peanuts. They were round and oily, with small grains of sparkling salt on them.

That's all there is to it. But obviously everything is delicate and attentive, and the color and flavor are complete.

Xin Xiliu covered the wooden box again and laid it on the ground. Then he sat on the edge of the bed with his legs on his legs, and folded his hands on his legs: "One is you, and the other is Li Yunxin." You don't believe it, but he saw you in the mirror in the afternoon. But did not speak. ”

Lao Dao blinked and frowned. Finally willing to turn his face to look at her. But his gaze only slid on her face for a moment, and then fell on the food.

Xin Xiliu smiled: "You are the virtual realm, and you can't get rid of all the grains." After boiling these days, the oil will run out, and the lamp will run out - let's eat it first. ”

Lao Dao was silent for a long time before he said, "You-"

When the first word was spoken, the sound rusted like a piece of iron that had been buried in the soil for a hundred years. So he coughed violently before squeezing out the next words: "Who is it?"

Xin Xiliu restrained her smile and looked at him. Suddenly, he looked down. This action was playful, and Liu Laodao was slightly stunned. But soon he understood, and followed her eyes to look over—

I saw that in her sleeve, a transparent jade slip flashed away.

Then Xin Xiliu laughed again: "I, naturally, am a person from Yunshan." The sage had already invited Li Yunxin as a guest—right now on Xiaoyun Mountain. Now that he is coming, you are his faithful servant - and it is not easy to neglect you. Maybe in two days, you'll be able to see him too. ”

"So if you don't take care of your body now, what will you do in the future?"

Liu Gongzan was slightly stunned. After two more breaths, he looked at her again, and finally slowly reached out and lifted the jug. He was eating on the right side of his body. But now he has to turn around with his left hand.

Xin Xiliu's gaze lingered on his right arm for a moment. Liu Gongzan casually hooked his sleeve with his fingers.

Xin Xiliu's brows furrowed, and her gaze looked away.

The forearms under the sleeves were all rotten. It looked like it was because there was a finger-long wound on the arm at first. There was a thick scab of blood on the wound, but there must have been pus underneath the scab. So from the sides, up to the elbows, down to the wrists, the tiny wounds that broke densely covered every inch of the skin, and each one contained a lot of blood, as if the slightest fist was about to gush out.

If it is rotten like this, but it doesn't kill him, it can be regarded as a virtual realm monk who has refined his body and breathed a few breaths.

Liu Gongzan only smiled slightly when he saw her like this. No wine cups were used. It was also - his fingers hooked the handle of the silver kettle, and he lifted it high, and poured the wine in the pot into a line and hung it in his throat.

I drank half of the pot in one go, and put it down. The mouth smacked again, and the brow furrowed: "This is ......"

"Li Yunxin said that you like to drink Mu Nanchun the most. Isn't that what he was used to entertain him? Xin Xiliu observed his every move, and his voice was still soft and soft. Liu Gongzan stopped talking—as if the wine worm and the gluttonous worm in his stomach had been aroused together, and he reached out to pick at the pile of peanuts.

So one by one, they jumped up in line and jumped into his mouth.

Seeing that he chewed it with a fragrant mouth, the spicy willow got up. Flip your palm again...... Take a scroll of drawings out of your sleeve.

It's already framed.

"Li Yunxin asked me to bring you something. She said softly, "Say that if you read it, you will naturally understand." ”

Hearing this, Liu Gongzan raised his head sharply and stared directly at the scroll in her hand. So Xin Xiliu slowly unfolded it—from right to left, first revealing half of the blade and a piece of broken scales, and then stopped.

Seeing these two things, Liu Gongzan's body leaned back slightly!

-- The painting is full of evil spirits. He saw it now, and his reaction was the same as Xin Xiliu's beginning. I only felt my throat tightened and my heart beat wildly, as if my body was soaked with cold!

“...... It's his handiwork. Liu Gongzan's lips trembled slightly, and he tried to spit out this sentence. And his eyes looked a little apprehensive, and he said, "What else...... And what's more!"

Xin Xiliu took in his reaction, and then stretched the picture scroll again—first a large blank space. Then, look at the first line of the poem.

Liu Gongzan's lips trembled again, and he slowly exhaled a breath from his chest. This breath is hot, and he is still a little trembling - after reading the first sentence of "drinking wine and being forgiving himself", the previous panic and anxiety in his heart are gone, and there are even more fiery emotions surging up.

Xin Xiliu smiled and exhibited the second sentence - "Human feelings are overturned like waves." ”

Liu Gongzan raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, not caring about Xin Xiliu who was present, and not feeling embarrassed. muttered to himself: "Alas, Brother Heart, Alas, Brother Heart......"

He sighed quietly for a while, wiped away his tears, and finally had some blood on his face...... Xin Xiliu exhibited the third and fourth sentences - "Prime Minister Bai knows that he still presses the sword, and Zhu Men Xianda laughs and plays the crown."

After staring at these two sentences without blinking for three breaths, the slight blood on Liu Gongzan's face receded in an instant. It's as if ...... The blood all over my body was cold. He jerked back again. Then, as if something behind him punched him hard, and then fell forward.

Poof!

He spat out a mouthful of blood!

Xin Xiliu looked at him coldly, and slowly put the scroll back into his sleeve.

saw Liu Gongzan vomit another mouthful of blood, and then suddenly raised his head as if looking for the painting. But I can't find it. So he only glared at Xin Xiliu: "He-what else did he say?!"

Xin Xiliu looked at him with pity, her eyes drooping slightly: "Liu Gongzan." We know that you were taken to Yunshan at the risk of death in order to leave a way back for Li Yunxin. Previously, he risked his death for the second time to report to Li Yunxin and told him about Jin Guangzi. But you have to know ......"

She thought for a moment and sighed, "He's a very suspicious person. Even if I know that you are doing all this for him, I can't tolerate you anymore. ”

"You killed those two demons for him this time, which is already a move that he doesn't know how to evaluate. In his eyes, you're crazy enough to do things – out of his control. So you ask me what else he said......"

She smiled: "He also said - sometimes letting go, is the last tenderness." You know what that means. He appreciates everything you did for him last time. However, if he is there and does not kill you, he will already thank you from now on. ”

"Sometimes let go - let go......" Liu Gongzan said the words several times in his mouth. Suddenly, the old tears were rampant and fell, "It's also his words, and it's also his words......"

Xin Xiliu allowed him to grieve for a quarter of an hour.

In fact, it was only a quarter of an hour - this Liu Gongzan quickly wiped his face and raised his head. He sat on the ground for a while, and suddenly he put a mouthful of blood on the ground.

Then he took a deep breath and looked at Xin Xiliu: "You came here, is that what you are talking about?"

He had been grieved and sad, and he did not shy away from her—unlike ordinary men in this world, who felt ashamed to cry in front of women. Now I have reined in my emotions and recovered quickly. This made Xin Xiliu look at him a few more times.

This old way...... It's also very human. Looking at his previous actions, it was difficult to control his grief. But now it was pressed to the bottom of my heart in an instant. This kind of kung fu is not possible even for many cultivators of the same realm who have renounced their desires.

"I'm asking you what you plan to do in the future. Xin Xiliu said seriously.

Liu Gongzan smiled wistfully: "What are you going to do? ”

Xin Xiliu shook his head: "Liu Gongzan, we know about you. You were a bandit when you were young, and then you married and had children. Then your wife and children were murdered by your former friends - and you didn't take revenge. Instead, he endured and survived. Since you have that past, I'm just going to ask you two things now. ”

"One. If you had the same thoughts as you have when your ex-wife and children were killed, would you still be able to meet Li Yunxin and embark on this path of ascending immortals that coexists with heaven and earth?"

"II. You're back in the same way you used to be. But you have cultivated to the virtual realm, and your qualifications are also excellent, and you still have many years to live. Don't you believe that you have another chance to get another chance?"

She said these two words and paused for a moment. Tell Liu Gongzan to think for a while. Then he said, "Right now, you can still come and vote for us." Li Yunxin is a guest here with us, and he also handed over such an important thing to me-"
