Chapter 116: Revisiting the Old Place
After saying that, he raised the wine glass to Jiangchen, and then drank it all. Jiangchen looked at him deeply and slowly repeated the sentence: "Life is lonely, hehe, life is lonely..."
He suddenly laughed out loud, his smile full of vicissitudes of life. He raised his glass and drank it in one gulp. A hot smell of wine fell from his throat to his belly. The wine in this remote town was quite powerful.
The young man smiled and said, "How?"
Jiang Chen raised his eyes, reached out to take the wine pot, added wine to the two of them, and said, "Good wine!"
The boy smiled even stronger. He slapped the table and laughed, "Okay, it's really good wine." Amid the laughter, the boy's expression gradually became excited, and he suddenly chanted loudly:
"The old meaning, vicissitudes, can you remember it? I am sad. The white hair and dry light walk around the world, and the lonely one day exchanges for hangover..."
After chanting, his voice gradually turned desolate, and there was a look of loneliness on his face. After chanting, he lowered his head and said nothing, stared at him silently, and drank the wine in the wine glass in front of him in one sip.
As night comes, the cold wind gradually rises, and the "whimper" sounds sounded in the lonely town, like someone crying quietly in the distance.
The night was dark and dark like a tide, submerging the earth. The ferocious beast was also lying lazily on the ground at this moment. In the tavern, there was darkness. Jiangchen and the young man sat in the darkness, and neither of them wanted to get up to find a candle to illuminate it.
Maybe in the darkness, they seemed to feel more comfortable.
All day long, they sat face to face, occasionally saying a few irrelevant words, occasionally drinking a few glasses of wine, but more often they seemed to have aroused their thoughts on each other, silently pondering, and recalling the past of their lives.
On such a cold night, two strangers seemed to have known each other for a lifetime and got along indifferently.
Early morning is a new day.
At the entrance of Sancai Town, Jiang Chen and the young man stood face to face, while the evil beast Taotie followed the young man, looking bored.
The young man glanced at the general and smiled and said, "It's rare to get together. I'm goodbye to this day. I don't know when I will see you again. Brother, take care of me."
The general said lightly: ‘So are you!’
The boy seemed to remember something and said, "It's like there's a lot of chaos today, and the situation in the north is getting more and more tense. Is there no intention of going north to see the fun?"
The young man was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at the boy. He saw that the boy looked calm and seemed to have no special meaning. After pondering for a while, he said, "Let's talk about it! Why, are you also interested in these fights and killings?"
The young man smiled slightly, but did not answer, but just bowed and said, "The road is far away, the world is difficult and dangerous, we will meet again if we have the chance."
The general returned the court and said, "Yes."
The young man laughed and turned around. Taotie roared softly, and then followed. In less than a while, the mysterious young man and Taotie had disappeared.
Jiangchen looked at the direction where their figures disappeared, was silent for a moment, and then slowly turned around. The Sancai in front of him was silent, without even a chance of life.
‘Let’s go! Let’s go.’ Jiang Chen suddenly said so plainly.
Jiangchen looked into the distance, and after a long time, he quietly said: 'There is the place where we lived together, do you still remember it?'
No one answered, but there seemed to be a cold wind blew across the entire cold street...
Tongtian Sect, the earth is long and long.
The quiet atmosphere enveloped the mountain on Dijiufeng again. I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly a figure flashed in the corridor of the disciple’s house. It turned out to be the general. He stared silently towards Jingxin Hall for a moment, then turned around and walked slowly into the corridor that was once extremely familiar.
Maybe it was because of the afternoon! None of the other disciples on Dijiu Peak saw it. In my memory, the most common thing I heard here in the past was the crisp laughter of my junior sister Yan Ling'er, and Chu Tianling shouted slightly depressedly, because he must have lost another bet. Then, the deep laughter of the eldest brother Liu Dashan and others would sound, and the other senior brothers would follow the jokes, and the youngest and most inconspicuous little disciple! I guess he must have smiled knowingly in the corner, right?
Once upon a time, the past was gently flipped in the sound of slow footsteps, and the old things were like every brick, tiles, pillars and towers carved here, echoing around him.
Jiangchen's face gradually changed from the beginning, and the expression that once enveloped like ice quietly faded away. The past time turned out to be so exciting that he could not forget even many years later.
If, if...if...if nothing has changed...
He stood between the corridors shining with light sunshine and sat down slowly on the low railings of the corridor. The warm and warm sunshine shone on his face, as if it was four years ago.
...
There were footsteps and conversation sounds coming from behind, and they got closer. It turned out that they were Chu Tianling, the fourth disciple of Dijiufeng sect, and the newly entered disciple. The two of them walked towards here side by side. The moment their figures appeared, the general had suddenly disappeared like a ghost. The mountain wind blew, and the branches and plants were whirling together. No one knew where he was hiding.
Chu Tianling and the new disciple obviously didn't notice anything. The two of them whispered and walked slowly over. Chu Tianling was holding a wooden barrel in his hand, which contained half a bucket of water, and a rag next to it, looking like he was going to clean up. As they watched the two of them walking forward, they soon walked to the door of a room. Chu Tianling shrugged at the new disciple, and the new disciple smiled, and the two walked in together.
A moment later, Jiangchen's figure appeared from a corner outside the corridor, with complex eyes looking ahead. The room where the two former senior brothers entered was actually the room where he lived when he was a disciple of Dijiufeng. But, shouldn't that room have been abandoned for many years? Why did the two senior brothers still go in?
The general floated over quietly.
As if he suddenly fell into the dream of the past, he was stunned at the door. The small courtyard was exactly the same as the scene back then. There were still gravel paths, grass and green spaces, and even the pine tree grew there. However, over the years, it has become much thicker.
The sound of water came from the room, and then the voices of the new disciple and Chu Tianling came out: "Fourth Senior Brother, tell me, it's been so many years, why did Master still ask us to clean this room? Isn't this intention to make me suffer!"
Chu Tianling laughed and scolded: "Boy, you want to be lazy again, right? I tell you, Master is getting angry recently for the matter of the senior brother! Don't mess with him, otherwise Master will have to peel you off."
The new disciple chuckled dryly and said, "Senior Brother, you are joking again, how dare I mess with Master? But the younger brother has been away for more than ten years, but Master still told us to keep it the same place and clean it every day. I really don't know what he is thinking?"
The figure standing outside the house stood up, slowly lowering his head.
In the room, Chu Tianling was silent for a while, but sighed and whispered: "Although Master has never talked about junior brothers in recent years, we all know that he loves junior brothers the most in his heart."
The new disciple said in his voice: "Yes! I can see this too. To be honest, sometimes I miss my junior brother very much. But what's the use? The younger brother has become another person now. Will he return to Dijiufeng, become a general minister again, and become our seventh junior brother again?..."
Outside the window, Jiang Chen's expression became more and more indifferent, and his body was straightened, with only two hands, clenched into fists, and became tighter and tighter.
Can you look back?
The steps you have taken in time and the road you have crossed, many years later, do you still remember to look back and look back? Have you ever thought about looking back?
The sun shines on your body, but it seems like you are in an ice cellar!
Chu Tianling and his new disciples also remained silent. Even they felt dull and speechless when they mentioned this topic inadvertently. They scrambled in the house for a while and walked out with a bucket. Chu Tianling gently closed the door and looked at the green grass and pine branches in the small courtyard. Although it was full of spring, they always felt a little lonely. It seemed that the owner of the house was not there, and the spring light was also quietly faded.
He shook his head, sighed, and left with his new disciple.
After a long time, Jiangchen slowly walked out from behind the pine tree. The familiar mountain wind blew on his face, blew his hair. He walked to the door of the room, raised his right hand, and placed it on the door.
His movements were very slow, as if he was under heavy pressure on his hands, and even his expression seemed to be breathless. However, that strange and inexplicable feeling, like an invisible force, finally pushed open the door!
It’s like, I pushed open a window of past years and saw the past.
The familiar bed, familiar tables and chairs, and those hanging on the walls, the Tao banners that seemed to have a slightly yellowish color after many years, and even the kettle and tea cups on the table looked exactly the same as they were back then!
Does anyone know how many times have this simple and simple room appeared in my dreams? Even the air here seemed to have a faint feeling of past. He slowly walked into the room, walked to the edge of the bed, sat down slowly, gently stroked the bedside with his hands, and a gentle feeling passed through his palm.
Who saw that he suddenly bit his lip, so hard, so deep!
Seven days later, there were more and more rumors about the appearance of beast monsters in the area around Tongtian Peak. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, with Luoyang City at the foot of the mountain as the center, people fleeing everywhere. It seemed that in this world, only the towering tall Tongtian Peak could give people a little comfort and safety.
Among the countless crowds, Luoyang City is the most chaotic place. The streets and alleys are crowded with people. The original inns and restaurants in the city have long been filled with people, and more refugees who escaped can only stay in the open air. In this case, the food supply in Luoyang City has become very tight. Fortunately, because the city is right by the river, there is no need to worry about the water source.
In this chaotic situation, it was difficult to guarantee that some evil things such as looting, murder and other evils would not happen. There were indeed such rumors from time to time. Yesterday, someone disappeared, and today I heard that someone was lying on the street. But Luoyang City was under Tongtian Peak, and the Tongtian Sect had already made preparations and sent a considerable number of disciples to maintain order in the city. Therefore, in general, there was no accident in the countless refugees in this catastrophe.
