Chapter 232: Winter

When the Qingzhu Inn reached its twentieth year, it seemed that it was coming to an end, and the guys in the inn were already in their forties, and when they reached middle age, they were not so motivated.

During this period, it was not that new young guys were recruited, but they were not used to the environment in the inn, so they worked for a month and left.

However, the inn has been in operation for twenty years, which is already very good, and for the guys in the inn, they are used to every brick and tile, grass and tree here. They will still work as hard as they can, but when they reach middle age, sometimes their bodies can't support them for so long, and their hearts are more than enough but not enough.

Shi Yi didn't ask too much of them, and after twenty years, it was time for him to leave here.

In the past twenty years, he has intermittently cultivated the third layer of the "Twilight Divine Decision", whenever he feels upset, he will stop cultivating, and the rest of the time he will study formations and refining weapons.

In the past 20 years, Yu Er has often seen the tattered book in his hand, which is actually some bamboo slips for refining magic weapons and formations, but it has just been transformed by Shi Yi.

In the last year, Shi Yi rarely stayed in the tea shed, and in more than ten years, he had thoroughly cultivated the third layer of "Twilight God Decision" to the fullest. As for the formation and refining weapons, no one dared to say that he could become a grandmaster realm in twenty years, Shi Yi just focused on studying magic weapons such as flying swords for a few more years, after all, the "Ice Clear Fire Shadow Sword" was the magic weapon he was about to refine in the future, and it would be beneficial for him to study and study more.

In fact, Shi Yi was already able to leave here a year ago, and after the third layer of "Twilight God Decision" was completed, the feeling of being upset and irritable when he cultivated disappeared, and continuing to stay in it would no longer help his cultivation.

However, Shi Yi always felt that his cultivation was not complete enough, as if he was still a part of it, so during this year, he also appeared frequently, observing every day of secular people at close range, all kinds of emotions, happiness, happiness, sadness, etc., which he could indeed have some deep experience.

This year's winter was extremely cold, so Shi Yi asked Yu Er to prepare some more charcoal for winter.

For these old guys in the inn, Shi Yi's frequent appearances this year are indeed a good thing, and those who get close to the shopkeeper find that the shopkeeper will also say a few jokes.

It's just that their hearts are a little heavy, they also saw a few strands of gray hair on Shi Yi's head, after all, Shi Yi is already in his fifties, according to the world's words, this should be the time when the children and grandchildren are full, but their old shopkeeper has always been alone.

......

A few days before the Spring Festival, the "Green Bamboo Inn" is no longer open, but these guys will still bring their families to the inn, as if they were accompanying their shopkeepers for the New Year.

After all, during the Chinese New Year, a person will always make people feel a little sad.

The door of the inn was ajar, and the cold wind was howling outside, but inside the house was as warm as ever.

All the men plus their families add up to a lot of people, after everyone has eaten, the women take the children to the side hall to chat, and the main hall is left to Shi Yi and this group of old friends.

After Yu Er filled a few pieces of coals into the stove, he also sat back on the bamboo chair a little lazily, looking extremely comfortable, half-squinting, as if he was pretending to sleep.

The rest of the fellows are the same, and they rarely have a few days off throughout the year, and at their age, they have grandchildren, and they should enjoy occasional pleasures.

Shi Yi also followed their example, half-lying on the bamboo chair, enjoying a moment of calm.

At this time, I don't know who mentioned, "Shopkeeper, tell us about your youth!"

Hearing this, everyone showed interested looks, and they were also extremely curious about Shi Yi's previous experience.

Even Yu Er opened his eyes and sat slightly upright, as if he was looking forward to it.

Shi Yi glanced at their appearance, their eyes revealed anticipation and sincerity, and he also smiled and said, "Do you really want to hear it?

"Think, shopkeeper, just tell us about it!"

Shi Yi's body sat up straight, as if in deep thought, thinking about his experiences as a teenager.

"At the beginning, when I was still twelve or thirteen years old, I once met a Taoist, and the Taoist ......" Shi Yi pondered for a while, and then began to slowly tell what happened in his youth, from meeting his master Wu Ming, to following him back to the mountains to practice martial arts, and then going down the mountain to practice, and then going to the wilderness with his senior sister Ning Hong to perform tasks and so on.

Shi Yi told everything about his youth, as if they had never been forgotten, as if he had been staying in a corner of his mind, waiting for the day when he would be reopened.

Of course, the matter about him being an immortal cultivator was naturally not said, and some places were also brushed aside, but at the end of the round tail, he told a lie.

At the end of his story, he and his sister Ninghong came together and fell in love for a few years, but later when he went out on a mission, he was found by the enemy, and his sister failed to survive, and because of this, he was tired of the rivers and lakes, so he left his hometown and came here to die alone.

The reason why he ended up like this may be to make up for a regret in his heart, going back to many years ago, if his senior sister Ning Hong said the same words to keep him, he didn't even know if he would leave.

Maybe he will stay, just like in the story, and end up with his sister,

It's just that there won't be a tragic ending, and if he stays, the ending may be good, and he will spend his life happily.

Or perhaps, he still won't stay, and he will still persistently pursue the path of cultivating immortals, although the future of this road is bleak, but he will still go on for the obsession in his heart.

But no matter what, Shi Yi likes this story very much, and after leaving Dongyi for so many years, he seems to remember the reluctance in Ning Hong's eyes at the beginning.

Inadvertently recalled so many past events, and when I was steadfast, I felt a sigh of relief.

After Shi Yi finished speaking, the sky had gradually darkened, and before I knew it, two hours had passed.

"Shopkeeper, haven't you thought about going back and having a look?" said one of the fellows, with a sigh.

Hearing this, Shi Yi fell silent, and when he went back to see that he was not the only one who had said this to him.

"Yes, the shopkeeper, it's been twenty years, you should go back and have a look!" Yu Er also nodded and said.

Shi Yi didn't understand the meaning of their words, more than 20 years have passed, even if he is tired of that land, but the senior sister is still alone there, she should go back to see, otherwise when she is old and can't walk, I'm afraid it's too late to go back.

"Go back and see?" Shi Yi muttered, going back and seeing, how simple was what he said.

"Yu Wen, don't run, the road outside is slippery, be careful!" When Shi Yi was pondering, a woman's voice came in, and several people saw a tiger-headed hairy boy, grimacing at the woman behind him, and then opened the half-hidden door and ran out.

Yu Er couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this kid, this is his grandson, who is naughty all day long.

When the door was pushed open, everyone realized that it was already snowing like goose feathers outside.

"Oh, oh, it's snowing, it's snowing!" Yu Wen shouted excitedly, standing in the snow.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing, and the children were always full of excitement about the snow.

Everyone also walked out of the house, and the snow slowly fell to the ground, and the streets outside seemed to be covered in snow.

Standing in the snow, he deliberately put away his aura, so that the snowflakes could fall into his palms, and there was a hint of coldness.

In an instant, Shi Yi seemed to be enlightened. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, each season brings him a change in his heart, and today he gathered around the stove in winter, reminiscing about the past, and a story made up for the regrets in his heart.

At this time, Shi Yi realized that his cultivation had ended, and he was ready to attack the Jindan period.

Looking back at the four big characters of "Qingzhu Inn" on the door plaque of the inn, maybe it was time for me to leave......
