"Afraid?" Yu Xuanji had a confused look on his face.

Xu Xian put half of the osmanthus cake in his hand back on the plate and said: "I'm afraid that after a hundred years, eating this osmanthus cake will no longer be the feeling it is now." I'm afraid that the immortal road is long, and when I see you again, I don't have the heart I have now. Heaven is ruthless, but how to erase this situation, I don't know, and I don't want to know. ”

Yu Xuanji was suddenly stunned, she suddenly remembered chasing butterflies on the field barefoot when she was a child, those times she thought were long gone, those pasts that she thought had been left behind. Now it appeared more clearly in her heart, making her panic for a while. But she quickly calmed down and looked at Xu Xian in front of her, and Xu Xian's eyes were full of a wonderful firmness.

Is it confusion? But the eyes seem to have penetrated even life and death.

Is it obsession? What is wrong with a person who insists on being a human being and living a human life?

Yes, a hundred years later, there may be no traces left by me in the world, but I have lived, laughed, loved, hated, and have no regrets.

The obsession you are obsessed with is my persistence, and the ignorance of your reasons is the result of my understanding through life and death. Isn't it the promise you made to yourself at the beginning to live this life well?

There is no time in the mountains, and decades of practice are like a word, so after a thousand years, will you miss it, or will I miss it?

The sun is warm, Xu Xian's eyes are clear, when he didn't know, the "Tao Te Ching" on his body was in full bloom, and it was the gift he wanted to give to Yu Xuanji, but he had long forgotten it at this time.

Yu Xuanji fell into a long contemplation, and the cultivator's pride in mortals was originally extremely hidden and profound. But at this moment, she suddenly saw another path, a mortal path.

Xu Xian smiled suddenly: "But of course, if you don't mind, senior sister, I originally intended to come and sit often!"

"Huh?"

"The osmanthus cake you make is really delicious, and often with a beauty like you, you don't need to practice, you can probably live longer!"

Yu Xuanji smiled, this junior brother still couldn't help but say some light words, but his eyes were always so clear. It's as if to say to a flower: I love your beauty. It's a matter of course.

The tea on the table was still warm, but the people at the table had already left.

Yu Xuanji looked at the curling green smoke rising from the cup, and suddenly smiled.

But don't think I'm going to give up like that! Your behavior like this makes me want to lead you to practice and see what kind of path you can cultivate. This kind of surname should not flow into reincarnation!

The bamboo shoots hid to the side, watching in shock as the master exuded a terrifying aura. Quietly retreated, wanting to escape from the master's sight.

"Bamboo shoots, come out. Yu Xuanji said without looking back.

The bamboo shoots rubbed the corners of their clothes and walked out cautiously, and said pitifully, "Master?"

"What is the crime of eavesdropping on the conversation between the master and the uncle without authorization?" Yu Xuanji's voice did not waver.

"Bamboo shoots are good at carrying water, hoeing, laundry, and cooking!"

The head of Yudao, who abused minors and used child labor, fiercely rejected Zhu Er's suggestion and said, "These are teachers who know how to cook, you go and recite the "Ten Strategies for Asking the Heavens" I taught you yesterday, and I will check it at night." ”

"But, but, I learned this yesterday!"

"Don't go yet!" said Yu Xuanji.

The bamboo shoots had a bitter face, and let out a sad cry in her heart: "Uncle Shi, come quickly!"

Xu Xian cautiously asked a black-faced scholar in front of him wearing a college green shirt: "You are Ning Caichen?"

The black-faced scholar said boldly: "Brother Xu, it's Ning Caichen down here, your outfits are ready! Let's take a boat first, and then walk, and we can get to Jinhua in about two days." ”

"Then please take care of Brother Ning!"

"Well, Jinhua is my hometown, and I will invite Brother Xu to my home to taste the craftsmanship of Jing. Ning Caichen was not as polite as ordinary scholars.

Xu Xian was surprised: "You, are you already married?" Although looking at his black face should not be the same Ning Caichen, after all, no matter what the subject Ning Caichen is, he is a little white-faced image. But knowing that he was already married, Xu Xian was still relieved.

Ning Caichen laughed and said: "I am not more talented than Brother Xu's youth, I can enter the Hajj Academy at a young age, and my brother is already twenty years old, so he is naturally married." He saw that Xu Xian was young and tender, and he looked cautious from the time they met, and thought that Xu Xian was going out for the first time, so he had a heart of care.

Xu Xian finally couldn't help but ask, "May I ask my sister-in-law's surname?" He also knew that this question was really rude in ancient times, but at this time, in order to calm the worries in his heart, he couldn't care so much.

Ning Caichen really frowned, but he didn't get angry, but said, "The surname of Humble Jing is Wang." ”

Xu Xian finally sighed deeply and put his mind at ease, "Please forgive the little brother for being rude, it's just that I have a township that is married to Jinhua, and I can't help but ask, by the way, the eldest brother didn't take a concubine!" Xu Xian finally suddenly thought that a wife and a concubine are two different things.

Ning Caichen was relieved, listened to Xu Xian's last sentence, and said: "I have no two colors in my life, how can I take a concubine?"

Xu Xian let go of the last bit of worry, but for some reason he felt that this sentence was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere! But he didn't have time to think about it, so he didn't pass Pan Yu who came to see him off, and went on the road with Ning Caichen.

The northerners rode horses, and the southerners took boats. Xu Xian and the others went all the way down the Jinhua River. Along the way, Xu Xian felt that Ning Caichen was generous and bold, although because he was a few years older, he sometimes liked to pose as a big brother. But he took care of Xu Xianduo along the way, and he is a person worth befriending.

"Two officials, it's really not that the old man doesn't keep his promises, it's just that the ship is broken like this, and if you don't repair it, you really can't go. The boatman said goodbye and moored the boat by the river. It turned out that he accidentally hit a driftwood on the river, and the old ship had already decayed, and it had broken a hole when it landed, but it couldn't go any further, and if it was to be repaired, I am afraid it would take two or three days.

The two of them got off the boat and took a look, and sure enough, there was a big hole in the bow of the boat, which was indeed impossible. It's just that they are not tricky people, and after paying the rest of the boat fare, they plan to walk to Jinhua. Xu Xian still wanted to deduct the rest of the journey, but Ning Caichen waved his hand and said, "Forget it, leave it to him to repair the ship." ”

If you meet a mean guest, I'm afraid the rest of the money will not be given, but it is the best result to deduct the remaining travel expenses, but I didn't expect to meet such a generous guest.

Xu Xian could only shake his head and smile bitterly, these two got along, he already knew that Ning Caichen's family was not rich, but he was too generous with money.

Then you can only replace the boat with your feet, and replace the horse with your feet, fortunately, neither of them is the kind of powerless chicken, and the boat is narrow and bumpy, at this time abandoned the boat, stepped on the flat ground, and walked for a while to sweat a little, but felt more comfortable.

At this time, it is late autumn, all the way to the autumn scenery is continuous, purple and red, passing by a maple forest, only to see the mountain red all over like a mountain fire, it is even more gorgeous. Xu Xian, who had been trapped in the city for a long time, saw such a scene, and he also felt that his mind was open, and his dust heart was reduced. The cultivators can live in the mountains for a long time, and observing the changes of these four seasons is indeed desirable.

But if it's like this every year, I'm afraid it's not interesting, and at that time, I was dedicated to the Tao, and there was no moon in the cave, but I was afraid that there would be no current feelings. It's only when you look at these scenery with the heart of a "human" at this moment, isn't it?

There is a saying: Standing on the snow, the fool sees the crane, the wise sees the snow, and the Zen sees the white. Xu Xian felt that it was normal for people to see cranes, and it was also interesting to see snow, but when it was time to see white, he had already lost the crane and the snow.

No one can get everything, and choosing must mean losing, and in this regard, even the immortals and Buddhas are no exception! The fool who sees the crane just wants to grasp the vividness of the moment, and keep this thought, with you wise Zen man, sigh and laugh.

I walked for two hours, from afternoon to dusk, although I took in the scenery and didn't feel too tired, but it was getting late, and it was time to rest.

Ning Caichen said to Xu Xian: "There is a ruined temple in front of here, where can we go to rest for one night, and let's set off tomorrow!"

"Okay, let's go and get some rest. ”

Gossiping, the two of them made another appearance, and sure enough, there was a dilapidated temple.

Xu Xian was curious: "Has Brother Ning ever been here?"

"No, I heard about it when I was a child, but I heard that a new official road was built in the west, and this temple is far away from the city, and these monks do not produce, there are no pilgrims, and there is no way to eat, so it is dilapidated. ”

Xu Xian said "grace" and walked towards the temple, they came to this road barren grass, probably it has been abandoned for a long time! Think about the time when there was probably a lot of traffic in the past! Rise and fall change, but it is a common thing in the world. It's just ridiculous that those people who have turned into outsiders, who claim to be unworldly, turn out to be people in this world.

The temple nave tower is magnificent, you can vaguely see the prosperity of the old times, but the basil is full of courts, and it has long lost the atmosphere of the year.

In the main hall, a statue of Rulai sitting tall has been mottled and does not look like it, the gold paint has faded, and it turned out to be just a mud tire stone sculpture.

The plaque of the temple gate has long been split by the nearby villagers to make firewood, regardless of whether you are "Zhengda Guangming" or "Pudu sentient beings". It's just that if there is a plaque, Xu Xian may be able to know the name of this temple - Lanruo Temple.
