Wait a minute, heroine

The rising sun rises in the east, and the golden dawn shines on Yangshan just like it did sixty years ago.

The disciples who got up early were already standing on the rock cliff facing the sea breeze, meditating and practicing Zha Mabu.

But the elder who had been sitting under the cliff fishing every day for sixty years was so rare that he was absent, so that the seagulls stationed at the beach were a little confused.

On the south side of Yangshan Mountain, there is a bamboo house with its back to the mountain and the sea. It has turned yellow over the years, but the inside of the yard is neat and clean. There is a small vegetable patch next to the yard, and there are a few dried fish tied on ropes outside the house. It looks like It is a fisherman's residence by the sea.

At this time, the door of the bamboo house was open. Fengguancheng, dressed in military uniform, stood in front of the spiritual table under the nave, lit incense in front of a memorial tablet, and then picked up an old sword from the spiritual table. .

The sword is three feet long, and the tail of the scabbard is black and blue. On the sword grid made of brass, there are yin and yang fishes engraved on it. It has been blackened due to its age and incense. The overall look is more like a house decoration. It is not the weapon of a warrior.

Bian Yuanlie stood at the door in a linen robe. Although he was over ninety years old, he looked like a humble apprentice. He was obviously a little confused when he saw this.

After all, Fengguancheng has been invincible since the birth of Hengkong. He is superb with his fists and kicks. Although he also uses weapons, he does not carry them. He has nothing to use around him. He can tear off a section of his robe and find an opponent who can beat him. Not to the north.

When Bian Yuanlie saw Fengguan City coming out with some weapons, he couldn't help but curiously asked:

"Mr. Feng, do you still have weapons? I haven't seen you use them."

Fengguan Cheng came to the door and looked at the sword in the morning light:

"How can the Jianghu people be without weapons? After leaving the mountain, no one is worthy of drawing a sword. Besides, this sword is not mine, it was left by the senior who led the way."

"You still have a teacher?!"

"No matter how talented a martial artist is, someone must lead the way. No one is born and knows everything. But he is not considered a teacher, he is just a senior who led me to get started."

"Which god is so domineering and can bring out a god like you?"

Feng Guancheng focused his eyes on the black and blue scabbard and did not respond to this topic, but his thoughts went back to the first time he saw this sword.

It was the fourth year of Yan Changning, when he was sixteen years old. Emperor Yan Cheng was still in power at that time. It was nearing the end of the dynasty, but it had not completely declined. It was in a stage of turmoil and heroes were eager to try. The northwest royal court had just been established.

At that time, he was not a martial artist, nor was he called Fengguancheng. He was just a poor scholar who dreamed of being admitted as a scholar. He may have great talent, but he did not find the talent of a thousand-mile horse. He also thought that "everything is inferior, only reading is good", and he had no relationship with him at all. The only difference between Jianghu and Jianghu is that he is physically stronger and stronger.

As the saying goes, no one is perfect. Fengguancheng's talent in martial arts is unparalleled in ancient and modern times, but his talent in reading is really mediocre. He took the county examination from the age of nine, and he didn't get the title of scholar until he was fifteen or sixteen. He was promoted to Jinshi or something like that. It's even more out of reach.

Realizing that his fame was hopeless, he even wrote a poem anonymously to criticize the court. Because he really failed the exam, he followed the example of the ancient sages and began to travel around to see if he could become enlightened.

As a result, I never thought about leaving, and I stepped into the chaotic world!

I remember that it was a summer when he was sixteen years old. He was traveling in the mountains and rivers in Wujiang. He took a boat to Wuzhou City at night and discovered something was wrong on the riverside halfway.

Out of curiosity, he ran to look around and found a woman floating by the river. She was not dead yet, and the woman was holding the sword.

He rescued the woman and helped treat her injuries. Later, he learned that the woman was from Yuxu Mountain and was chasing evil heretics, but she was injured by a hidden demon.

He was only sixteen years old at the time. Because the woman was very beautiful and had a very kind and gentle personality, after being in contact with each other for a period of time, he just like a normal young man, he had a dream partner.

But unfortunately, the woman was much older than him. She was only willing to accept him as her disciple and was unwilling to follow him.

He chased him to many places for this purpose, and even went to Yuxu Mountain to stay there, and was even beaten by an old headmaster who was also young.

But the woman was a cultivator and had a very determined attitude. In the end, she failed to get what she wanted. When he was twenty years old, the woman disappeared. He didn't know where she went, but she left him a letter before she left. The letter and the sword.

The letter said that they were never destined to meet each other in this life, and warned him to follow the right path and do good deeds and accumulate virtue. He was very talented. As long as he could behave correctly and work hard, we might be able to meet again in the future.

Fengguancheng definitely didn't believe it at the time. He just thought that the woman had abandoned him, so he tried every means to find her. He even used some unscrupulous methods to force the woman out, but unfortunately there was no news.

When he was twenty-three years old, he understood that the woman had really left this world, and he also guessed where the woman had gone. From then on, he truly matured, began to practice martial arts hard, and gradually gained the 'Tao' in his heart. .

Although it started too late, practicing martial arts is much simpler than taking the exam to become a scholar.

It only took him two years to go from being an ordinary martial artist to defeating the first great master, and it also only took two years to go from being a great master to being the first person in the Southern Dynasties.

After the age of thirty, he no longer used his hands against the enemy. After the age of forty, he did not take a step back. By the age of fifty, he had already dominated the world. None of the rebels dared to step foot into Yunzhou. It could be said that he had never felt any pressure since the name 'Fengguancheng' appeared in the world.

The reason why he went to Yun'an to settle down and accept the imperial court's reward was because he was a scholar. After all, he wanted to "learn martial arts and repay the emperor's family", and he also wanted to follow the woman's instructions and serve the imperial court. Things that benefit the country and the people.

But in the last years of Dayan, he saw the fatuousness of the court and the grudges of the people, and gradually became suspicious of his past actions, and finally made a "treacherous" act. Instead of helping Dayan to resist the rebels, he chose to withdraw from the world and come to I lived in seclusion in Yangshan.

The reason for withdrawing from the world was indeed out of guilt for not helping him even though he was rich in salary, but it was not entirely because of guilt. After all, he could have died to apologize.

The reason why I won't die or leave is because the person who injured the woman is still alive in the world, and also because of that sentence-after I leave, I don't know how many people in the world will become monsters and how many will become demons!

That woman spent her whole life secretly searching for evil obstacles in the world to prevent the filth from the mountain from flowing into the world below.

Before the woman left, she handed over this responsibility to him; and before he left, he naturally had to hand over this burden to future generations.

He didn't know how many years the woman had been waiting for him to show up, but he had indeed been waiting here for a whole life, and had seen countless geniuses rise and die before he could wait for someone who could take over...

…

Bian Yuanlie stood in front of him and saw Mr. Feng looking at the sword in silence. He thought about it and raised his hand to touch the scabbard.

Pa~

As a result, he bumped into a kid and was beaten on the back of his hand as if he was being taught a lesson by an elder.

Bian Yuanlie didn't even see clearly how he was beaten, so he quickly retracted his hand and asked:

"Why did Mr. Feng recall the past? Ye Jingtang is here. Are you ready to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of your honour?"

Fengguancheng put away his sword and looked up at the endless sea:

"Standing in the world is achieved with fists, not given by others. People who are 'number one in the world' need others to give in. Are they qualified to be compared with me?"

"That's true, I'm afraid that Ye Jingtang will be in danger this time..."

…

——

At the same time, in Guancheng.

Last night, Black and White Wuchang appeared at Qixuanmen and explained the cause of Fu Tongsheng's death. People in Tiannan Jianghu sensed something unusual. By daybreak, there were obviously more warriors in Guancheng, and even the surrounding mountains and seas were covered with blood. The whereabouts of Jianghu people appeared, and discussions in the streets were endless:

"Is the Night King Yama coming?"

"I don't know, but it will come sooner or later. It's definitely right to occupy the seat first."

"Someone just said that they saw Jiang Zahu on West Street. Is it true?"

"Jiang Zahu is nothing. I heard from the people in Tuzhou that the old sword master Sun is here and he just didn't show up..."

"These experts are really well-informed."

"This is no nonsense. Who is the dominant figure in the world without any connections..."

…

In an inn in the city, Luo Ning and Qing He were resting in the room.

Xue Baijin had too many things to watch in his mind and couldn't sleep much. He woke up before dawn. At this time, he was walking slowly on the small street wearing a curtain hat, listening to all kinds of news from the world, and thinking about where to go in the future. .

Yunli and Ye Jingtang are obviously in love, and they will definitely have to talk about marriage next, and her master, who has done wrong things, should rein in the situation and completely forget about the past.

But as the female elder in the tavern said, her hesitation until now means that she is deeply in love, and drawing a clear line is just self-deception.

She can't let go now. When the child is born and we have an emotional connection with each other, it will be even more impossible to let go. Even if she doesn't want to, it won't be long before she still does something wrong.

By then Yunli was already a daughter-in-law, and she, the master, was caught eating secretly...

"well……"

Xue Baijin has a relatively lonely personality and is not very good at dealing with emotional issues. At this time, he is full of confusion and does not know what to do in the future.

"Mom, I want this~"

"I've bought you a bunch of them, but you don't want to play. Let's go."

"No, I want it..."

…

While walking, there were voices on the street.

Xue Baijin turned around and saw a small stall on the street. There were rattles, small wooden swords and other items hanging on the shelf. A little girl stood in front of the shelf, looking at various toys with bright eyes. Behind her was a woman dressed in Jianghu costume. He put his hands on his hips and looked helpless.

Because the rivers and lakes are unpredictable, there are not many people who bring their children to the rivers and lakes, but Guancheng is equivalent to a safe zone. With Fengguancheng above their heads, no one dares to do evil here. There are not many Jianghu people who come to see the world with their children. few.

Xue Baijin stood alone on the street. After looking at it for a moment, he subconsciously touched his stomach. He must have thought of the scene of taking his daughter shopping in the future. His heart was indeed complicated, but not only why, but also felt that this scene was quite happy.

After waiting on the street for a while, the little girl happily took the rattle and skipped away amidst the sound of 'ding dong'.

Xue Baijin thought about it and walked to the shelf, picked up the red rattle on it, and shook it back and forth twice.

Ding dong ding dong~

The stall owner was an old woman. She smiled when she saw this and said:

"Bought for the child? How old is the baby?"

"..."

Xue Baijin's red lips moved slightly, obviously it was difficult to answer this question, so she wanted to just take a look.

But what she didn't expect was that before she could speak, a clear voice came from behind:

"I just got pregnant, so I need to buy some to prepare."

"Oh~ Congratulations then..."

? !

Xue Baijin was shocked. She thought she heard it wrong at first, but when she looked around, she found a sunny and handsome face not far away. He was raising his hand to choose toys, as if he had always been walking in front of him!

"you……"

Xue Baijin came out secretly during this trip and did not tell Ye Jingtang. At this time, he was suddenly caught on the street. He was still picking up baby products here. How could he keep it on his face? When he realized it, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Eh!"

Ye Jingtang quickly grabbed Bing Tuo Tuo, bought a small rattle with money, and then walked forward and asked:

"When did you come here? Where are Ning'er and Qinghe?"

Xue Baijin's cheeks were obviously red under his hat, but his expression was quite cold:

"It has nothing to do with you. I just went back to Nanxiao Mountain and came here for a walk. Who asked you to come here?"

Ye Jingtang didn't look for it specifically, but the ship had just arrived in Guancheng and anchored by the river. He was curious for the first time, so he stood on the deck and looked at it. As a result, he found such a big ice lump on the Wandering alone among the sea of ​​people.

At this time, it was discovered that Bingtuotuo was unhappy, and Ye Jingtang explained:

"I didn't want to disturb you, I just came to see the world, and I bumped into it by accident..."

People were coming and going on the street. Xue Baijin and Ye Jingtang were chatting with each other. They were obviously a little embarrassed, so they turned around and took Ye Jingtang into the alley.

Ye Jingtang hadn't seen Tuo Tuo for a long time, and he missed her terribly. When he saw a sparsely populated place, he naturally wanted to put his hands on his waist.

But unfortunately, after Xue Baijin entered the alley, he turned around and pressed Ye Jingtang's hand down with a serious look in his eyes:

"Night Terror Hall, what do you mean?"

Ye Jingtang couldn't see Bing Tuo Tuo's expression clearly through the gauze curtains, and said in a daze:

"I'll just give you a hug..."

Xue Baijin inhaled slightly: "You and Yunli are already in love, so you shouldn't have distracting thoughts about me. Do you understand?"

Ye Jingtang knew it was inappropriate, but he already had children, so he couldn't let go of Bing Tuo Tuo, right? At the moment, walking with arms around shoulders and a cheerful look:

"That's what I was going to say."

Xue Baijin wanted to twist his shoulders, but when he heard these words, he stopped and moved forward:

"What do you want to say?"

Ye Jingtang felt that he was a bit thick-skinned, but the matter had come to this, and he could not escape. He thought for a while and said:

"Last night, Yunli and I were on the boat..."

"?"

Xue Baijin was not interested in hearing the details of Ye Jingtang's serving of her cabbage, and said coldly;

"I know you ruined Yunli."

"Ah? I didn't waste it..."

"Isn't that a waste?"

Ye Jingtang thought about it carefully and realized that it was actually a waste. He still nodded:

"I fell asleep at the time, and I don't know why..."

Xue Baijin's eyes were slightly cold: "Tell yourself, what are you going to do next? If you feel sorry for Yunli, don't blame me for not remembering our past friendship."

Ye Jingtang sighed softly: "Yunli asked me to propose marriage to you, um..."

?

Xue Baijin was stunned for a moment, then pushed away the hand on his shoulder and kept a little distance:

"Yunli is interested in you, and you also like Yunli. It is a good thing that we are a good match. Naturally, I will not object..."

Ye Jingtang knew that Bingtuotuo would not object, but he obviously would not be content with being a rich man. He turned around again and put his hands on his shoulders:

"Can you marry me too?"

"?!"

Xue Baijin was obviously silent when he heard this. He looked at the Night Terror Hall through the curtain, his eyes became extremely complicated, and he was a little embarrassed and angry. After holding it in for a long time, he responded:

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"I know. Well... I just want you and Yunli to be together..."

"How can you say something so immoral and unethical?!"

Xue Baijin's clothes were rising and falling, and he said a little shyly:

"Even if I am pregnant with a child, I have no choice but to let this little thief like you succeed. What should Yunli do? If she knows..."

Ye Jingtang raised his arms and hugged Bing Tuo Tuo, and said shamelessly:

"It's my fault. I'm indeed a pervert. But it's already like this. I can't help it. I can't leave you. I'm sorry that Yunli didn't even agree to it, let alone me. In fact, Yunli has already guessed something. , and very sensible. If you choose to live alone for Yunli, then she will definitely not be able to let go of her years of upbringing. Otherwise, I will be the villain and I will explain..."

"Why are you so thick-skinned?"

Seeing the night terror, Xue Baijin still wanted to take over the pot, her heart was in a state of confusion, and she didn't know what to say. She gritted her teeth and said:

"I don't agree."

Ye Jingtang knew this. Holding Bing Tuo Tuo, he didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only say:

"How about we make a bet. If I can win Fengguan City, you can give me a chance, okay?"

?

Xue Baijin didn't expect Ye Jingtang to say this. If she agreed and Ye Jingtang really won the fight, wouldn't they become like the three members of Xuanji's family?

But she didn't agree. The current situation was indeed here. She knew that she couldn't let go at all, and she couldn't delay Yunli. She couldn't keep delaying the dilemma, right?

No matter how powerful Ye Jingtang is, the chance of defeating Fengguan City is less than 10%. If they can win, it can only be said that this is God's will...

Sigh, we can’t give in, we can’t give in…

Xue Baijin was confused and didn't know what he was thinking. He was speechless for a long time.

Ye Jingtang leaned into his ear and said: "That's it, I will definitely risk my life..."

"Who asked you to risk your life?"

When Xue Baijin heard this, he came to his senses and said seriously:

"It's not like you don't know what kind of person Fengguancheng is. If you could win with all your strength, you would have been pulled down long ago. You... you are just asking for advice this time. He is a senior in the world, so you must have a sense of awe." You must remember martial ethics and don’t be impatient in front of the world..."

Ye Jing Tang felt the concern in Bing Tuo Tuo's words and said softly:

"I understand. I will definitely find a way to win. If I can't win, I will go back and continue practicing. Come back next year until I win. You can give me another chance after I win, okay?"

"..."

Xue Baijin felt that the possibility of winning in one fight was extremely low. Now that the matter was at this point, using this reason to delay further was the only option at the moment. In the end, he could only say:

"If you can replace Fengguancheng and become the new number one in the world, you will have the final say in this world. So what if I don't agree?"

Ye Jingtang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tuo Tuo relenting, and kissed her on the face through the curtain hat.

Xue Baijin originally wanted to avoid him, but after all, they hadn't seen each other for many days. Ning'er and Qinghe couldn't sleep all night thinking about their lover, so she finally closed her eyes and pretended to have no choice but to accept her fate.

However, as Ye Jingtang raised the curtain and their lips met, a sound came from the distance:

"Cough~"

Ye Jingtang hugged his wife and pouted, because there were many people on the street outside and he didn't pay attention to the movement in the distance. Hearing the cough, he quickly let go and stood up straight, pretending to look at the scenery.

Xue Baijin was also startled, and quickly took a step back, looking into the distance from the corner of his eye, trying to see who was so daring to do something bad like Nightmare.

As a result, when I looked at it, I found that deep in the alley, there was a small wine shop. What a coincidence, and there was a wine flag with the word "night" hanging outside.

? !

After Xue Baijin came back to pay for the drinks last night, he chatted in the tavern for a long time, and then found an inn nearby to stay. He was just wandering around on the street outside, and he really didn't notice that he was here again.

Hearing the female shopkeeper's cough, Xue Baijin naturally realized that he had discovered an underground love affair. He felt ashamed and turned around to leave.

But Ye Jingtang was quite surprised when he saw the wine banner with the word "night" in the blink of an eye, and pulled Bing Tuo Tuo over:

"This wine shop is quite special. The female shopkeeper seems to be an expert."

Xue Baijin's face turned red under his hat, and he pulled Ye Jingtang back:

"I went there last night, and the female shopkeeper saw me. Don't go there..."

While he was talking, the curtain of the tavern opened, and then the charming female shopkeeper walked out of it, looking at this side with curved eyebrows:

"Girl, are you here again?"

"..."

When Xue Baijin saw the female shopkeeper, he was naturally embarrassed to run away again. He coughed lightly to suppress his thoughts and walked over as calmly as possible:

"Just hanging around, this is a... a friend of mine."

The female shopkeeper took a look at Ye Jingtang, and because she saw that Xue Baijin was thin-skinned, she didn't point it out:

"Really? I just warmed up some wine. Why don't you come in and have a drink and chat for a while?"

Ye Jingtang was naturally very serious in front of outsiders. When he came closer, he made a quaint salute:

"I didn't pay attention just now and disturbed the shopkeeper. By the way, the shopkeeper's surname is also Ye?"

The female shopkeeper glanced at Ye Jingtang, then looked at the weapon wrapped in black cloth behind her waist, thought for a while and said:

"No. When I opened the door, I asked an expert to mention it, but I didn't know what it meant."

"Yeah?"

Ye Jingtang was dubious, but when the female shopkeeper said this, he naturally didn't ask in detail. He followed Bing Tuotuo into the small wine shop, and when he looked up, he saw a knife hanging on the wall.

The sword was three feet and three inches long and was also a straight sword. However, the scabbard was white and the workmanship was very exquisite. However, it did not look like a murder weapon, and it had not been used for a long time.

As a swordsman from Ye Jingtang, he was naturally interested in knives. He came to the wall and looked at it:

"This is the style of a broken blade. The workmanship seems to have come from Mr. Zhou of Shuiyun Jiantan. The shopkeeper looks like he has traveled a lot in the past."

The female shopkeeper stood at the stove and said with a smile:

"Young hero, you have a good eye. When I was young, I traveled around for ten years. I went to many places. Now I have seen through it all. There are many old ladies like me in Guancheng here to retire."

Ye Jingtang shook his head and said: "The female shopkeeper is not old at all. I think she is only in her thirties. If she is really older, her martial arts skills will be almost extraordinary."

"Girl, this friend of yours has a sweet mouth. You have to take good care of him from now on, otherwise the house will be noisy in the future."

Xue Baijin felt that the female shopkeeper was really accurate in reading people, so he directly pulled Ye Jingtang to sit in front of him:

"Can you say a few words less?"

Ye Jingtang was just telling the truth. Seeing that Tuotuo was unhappy, he shut up, took the wine bottle from the female shopkeeper, and helped pour the wine.

After the female shopkeeper brought the wine, she did not leave. Instead, she sat down opposite and looked at the weapon on Ye Jingtang's waist:

"Young hero is also a swordsman?"

The female shopkeeper of Night Terror Hall also poured a bowl of wine:

"Yes, I used to live in Liangzhou, but now I'm running around everywhere."

"Can you show your aunt the knife?"

"Well……"

Ye Jingtang hesitated for a moment, but he was not stingy. He took off the Chilong knife wrapped in black cloth and placed it on the table:

"Isn't Night Terror Hall famous now? I also found a similar knife in Jianghu. The workmanship is quite good."

The female shopkeeper took the sword with both hands and opened the black cloth. The old sword with brass patterns appeared in front of her eyes. Although the ring-headed dragon was no longer as bright as new, the traces of time had also added a bit of weight.

Cha~

The female shopkeeper pulled out her knife two inches and looked carefully. There was some emotion in her eyes, but it was more of nostalgia after experiencing everything in the world. After a moment of silence, she nodded with a smile:

"It looks very similar, but Night Hero's sword is so ordinary. You must have been deceived by a profiteer."

"I guess so."

Ye Jingtang saw the female shopkeeper hand the knife back and put it in her hand.

Xue Baijin was sitting in front of her. She always felt that the female shopkeeper was looking at her in the wrong way. She wanted to explain a few words, but she already had children. What else could she explain? In the end, she just held up the wine bowl with her head down:

"I'd like to toast the shopkeeper."

"Haha~"

The female shopkeeper smiled softly and picked up the wine glass in return:

"There are too many men and women coming and going in Guancheng, but there are really only a few who can only get together in the end. You are still together now, so you have to cherish the moment and don't be separated by the storm in front of you. Wait. If you live to my age, you will find that no matter how big the waves are in the past, they are just a small threshold in life. There is nothing that cannot be overcome. The most important thing is that people are together..."

When Ye Jingtang saw the female shopkeeper helping Tuotuo, she naturally picked up the wine glass:

"Then let me borrow the proprietor's good advice."

The female shopkeeper picked up the wine bowl and said, "Just treat this girl well. She looks like a serious knight, but in fact she is very articulate and thick-skinned. No wonder you can bring such a good girl back."

Ye Jingtang was caught kissing Tuotuo just now, and it was hard to explain at this time, so he punished himself with a drink.

After the female shopkeeper drank a bowl of wine, she glanced at Xue Baijin again, thought about it, pulled out a wooden hairpin from her bun, and inserted it into Xue Baijin's hair.

Xue Baijin was naturally startled when he saw this: "Shopkeeper, what are you doing?"

"I wish you both will get married eventually. This is not a valuable item. Every time a couple comes here to drink, I will give one as a gift. Just don't dislike it..."

Ye Jingtang raised his eyes and looked at it. It can be seen that the hairpin is made of mahogany. It is indeed not expensive, but the overall look is quite special. It seems to be cut with a knife. Visually, the knife skills are quite average, and it should be quite many years ago. It is obviously not made casually. of. Seeing this, he also said:

"This thing should be something that the shopkeeper always keeps with him. I hope we appreciate it, but we really can't accept it..."

The female shopkeeper shook her head and said: "We met by fate. I am giving it to your confidante, but I am not giving it to you. Do you still misunderstand me?"

"Oh, the shopkeeper is joking."

"Okay, take it, let's make it a promise. If the girl gets separated from this young hero one day, come over and return the hairpin to me, and we can open a tavern here together."

Xue Baijin originally wanted to take it off, but after hearing these words, he hesitated. After all, she was indeed a little confused. She really didn't know if she could grow old together with Ye Jingtang in the end.

If there is really no chance in reality, it would be a good idea to come here to live in seclusion and keep warm with the female shopkeeper who is also sad.

After Xue Baijin hesitated for a moment, he nodded slightly:

"Thanks."

"Thank you for nothing. I just hope that lovers will eventually get married. Only if you can grow old happily with your lover can you be worthy of my feelings."

After the female shopkeeper finished speaking, she stood up and said:

"Okay, let's talk. I'll cook two dishes for you to drink."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang quickly said: "Hey, that's too polite..."

"How polite is this? You have to pay the cashier. You are drinking with a girl. Is it possible that you are drinking too much and can't bear to order?"

"Well……"

Ye Jingtang thought the same, and had nothing to say at the moment. He watched the female shopkeeper enter the backyard, and then continued to drink with Tuo Tuo...

——

Soon after, the man and woman left the tavern together and headed out into the alley.

The female shopkeeper stood at the door of the tavern, watching the two of them drift away. It wasn't until the figure disappeared at the entrance of the alley that a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The so-called rivers and lakes are nothing more than the four words "love, hate, love and hatred". Generation after generation of people have been working hard for this, and they are trapped in it, and there are not many people who can get a happy ending.

As someone who has been there, when I look at the children of today's world, I feel like I am looking at myself back then, and also watching the reincarnations one after another. Although I have mixed feelings in my heart, including regrets and regrets, I have indeed let go of it now.

After staring at it for a moment, the female shopkeeper returned to the wine shop, took off the knife from the wall, looked at it carefully, hung it on her waist again, and then opened the curtain.

But when he was about to leave, footsteps sounded from the alley:

Ta Ta ~

Boom~

The female shopkeeper looked up and saw an old monk in cassocks, holding a brass Zen staff, walking over from the other end of the alley. After seeing her, he raised his hands and performed a Buddhist salute:

"Amitabha."

Seeing this, the female shopkeeper stopped at the door and responded:

"You are a monk and don't drink. Why are you here?"

Zen Master Shenchen came outside the wine shop with a brass Zen staff and responded kindly:

"It's just to meet an old friend. He picked up the knife and entered the rivers and lakes. Looking at the appearance of the benefactor, does it mean that the knot in his heart has been let go?"

"I've given it up a long time ago. You always said you couldn't let it go back then, what about now?"

"well."

When Zen Master Shenchen heard this, there was a bit of envy in his eyes, and he raised his eyes to look at Longmen Cliff:

"The poor monk followed the master's teachings and always wanted to let go of his obsessions, and he also enlightened countless juniors. In the end, all the juniors he once enlightened gave up, but the poor monk himself has always been an idiot. At present, it seems that he is going to be a fool in this life. We can’t reach the other side of the mountain.”

The female shopkeeper said: "You have escaped into Buddhism since you were a child. You have never entered the world. How could you be born in this world? Once you have loved, hated, regretted, you will naturally look away."

Monk Shenchen shook his head and smiled: "What the donor said makes sense, but at this age, there is no chance. If I continue to be an old bald donkey who eats fast and chants Buddha's name, I can at least keep a reputation that is not too bad."

After saying that, Monk Shenchen bowed to the female shopkeeper again, and then continued to walk to Longmen Cliff.

After watching Monk Shen Chen leave, the female shopkeeper shook her head and sighed, then walked out of the alley and joined the crowd, like ordinary people everywhere, arriving at the foot of Longmen Cliff...
