Demons are always more convenient than humans.
The two demons left Guxu City in the early morning of the next day. Cangyu had calculated the plot. If the original direction was followed, one of the harem who did not appear would have a sense of presence of 10,000+ words in Guxu City. Now he is not there. It means that most of the moths he will make are less, and Rong Dan won't be in any trouble for a while, not to mention that even if she has trouble, she doesn't need to rescue her at all.
Cangyu gave her the sound-transmitting paper crane, not so much to save her anytime and anywhere, but rather to worry that she would be involved in the plot again. After all, Rong Dan has the halo of the heroine to protect her, and he and Xuan Jie do not.
The two-day illusion caused a gap of 400 years. Xuan Jie looked the same as usual, but he was silent a lot on weekdays, and his youthful frivolity and enthusiasm disappeared without a trace.
Xuan Jie was originally a raging wave visible to the naked eye, but now it has become a calm sea, and it is impossible to see the depth of the bottom.
Cangyu read books when he was young, and he could read all kinds of books at that time. After all, it was the era of information explosion, and everything he should know and shouldn't know was stuffed in his head.But the old man always said that some books should be read at the right age. He didn't understand it at the time, but now he knows it after seeing Xuan Jie. Knowing some truths too early will inevitably damage the pride of youth.
Sooner or later, people will go from youthful to mature, from ignorant and naive to sleek and sophisticated, which should have been slower.
Cangyu looked at Xuan Jie, who had quickly reborn in a place he didn't know about, and grew into an adult without any resentment towards fate.Xuanjie is not ignorant of the world, on the contrary, he has learned too much from Cangyu, so he discarded and shattered the innocence that young children should have early on, and the rest of the heart was polished by reality, which is weird. matured.
Qianniang was right, but he was wrong.
He retrieved the child, but never gave him a normal education.
Cangyu taught Xuanjie all the despicableness and filth in the roots of all beings, the so-called reality of the world. He let the child choose his own future path, let Xuanjie choose his rough embryo type, like The original clay body of porcelain.
He finally chose.
It's not that Xuan Jie's current appearance is bad, it's just that he has been a beast for 400 years for no reason, and anyone would be bored.Xuan explained that this matter is over, is it over?Cangyu was worried that he was like when he was a child, no matter what kind of wound he had, he just licked it by himself, never complained of pain, as if the world was so big, he came and went alone.
At that time, Cangyu still felt that Xuan Jie was reassuring, but now that he thinks about it, he has taught Xuan Jie everything in the past twenty years, except that he has not taught him weakness.
How can one go to the end alone, whether it is a human or a demon, if you don't rely on others to support you for a while, how can you have the energy to continue walking this long life.
"What are you thinking?"
Xuan Jie asked him, the two of them entered the boat and went down the river. The boat was big enough for two men, but it was too small to be sandwiched between other merchant ships. Like a lone leaf rippling in the water.After sailing for half a day, the boat passed a restaurant near the river. It was getting late, and a few unrestrained scholars were ordering wine, their voices spread far away, and one with a louder voice was knocking on a glass and singing at the top of his voice.
"What?" Cangyu heard the voice and came out of the cabin. He looked into the distance and saw a restaurant with a good view of the river. A few scholars were singing and drinking, talking high-spirited, looking very happy. His heart moved and he asked. said, "Where have we been?"
Xuan Jiedao didn't quite understand, but still replied: "Yong'an City."
Rong Dan taught him how to read maps and ask directions, and Xuan Jie is much better than Cang Yu in this regard.
Cangyu didn't know what Yong'an City was, just like he didn't know what Ning'an and Guxu were before he went there, he just thought the name of the city sounded auspicious, it was the same as Ning'an, everyone liked it It's a good idea, anyway, there is no fixed next stop, it's the same wherever you go.
"Come here." Cangyu beckoned to Xuanjie, and the young man obediently leaned over, staring into the abyss, the elder of Qingqiu pointed to the restaurant and said, "Do you understand what they are doing?"
Xuan Jie didn't take it seriously: "They were singing and drinking." He said that his heart moved slightly when he sang, and he felt a faint flame in his chest beating for a moment. He didn't know why it was beating. sound.
The boat was not going too fast on the river. At this time, no one was in charge of the boat, and there was no wind and waves. The people in the restaurant watched them move forward slowly, and the people on their boat watched the scenery along the way slowly.
Cangyu was not close to Xuanjie, and he seldom had close contact with anyone unless necessary, but Xuanjie could still smell Cangyu's breath, which was different from the scent of bluegrass on Nightmare's body. It was the soap locust smell from yesterday's inn, unremarkable.
Does the white fox have the same taste?
Xuan Jie couldn't remember clearly.
"Xuan Jie, I have taught you many things, some too early, some too late." Cangyu said, his lips moved slightly, not as indifferent as in previous years, talking about life and death is nothing more than a common thing in the world Things, everyone's choice and fate are commonplace in his mouth, he finally stretched out his hand, patted Xuan Jie's shoulder, and said lightly, "You already know suffering, I will teach you how to taste happiness."
They moored the boat at the ferry and entered Ning'an City. At this time, it was time for each family to light a fire and cook, and there were still many passers-by. They walked among the tourists, but no one noticed these two handsome men.
Xuan Jie came forward suddenly, he was sticking behind Cangyu like a ghost, he stretched out his hand to grab Cangyu, almost staggering Cangyu, and said in a low voice: "Someone is watching us."
The people in Ning'an City don't know how many people come and go. In front of everyone, even the most powerful monster can hardly pick out a grain of rice from thousands of sands with naked eyes. Cang Yu nodded, expressing that he knew.
In Cangyu's mind, there are so many strange people and strangers, and it is not surprising that there are a few people with advanced cultivation levels who can see that he and Xuan Jie are different from ordinary people. What a big deal.What's more, Feng Pingxu's strength should be one of the best among mortals. His fight with the Nightmare was only [-]-[-], and Xuanjie could tear the Nightmare apart. Go, there is little to fear.
"Don't worry." Cangyu shook her head, walked with Xuanjie for a while, and finally found the restaurant.
Nowadays, there is no word of mouth and reviews to know. Whether the restaurant is good or not, you have to try it yourself. Instead of finding a small tavern that you don’t know the details of, it’s better to go to this restaurant for a drink. After all, it depends on the interest of the scholars just now. With a high-spirited look, the wine here is hard to drink.
When the two of them went upstairs to find a seat, they were on the floor below the group of scholars, and they could see a waiter waiting attentively at the stairway, so that they could greet them in time without disturbing their elegant mood.Cangyu and Xuanjie were both dragons and phoenixes among men, and their clothes were even more impressive. Although the restaurant is not likely to watch people order dishes, it has a much more enthusiastic attitude after all. They invited the two of them to a seat and found a table overlooking the river. Location.
The scholar upstairs was still singing, his voice was wild and unrestrained, full of spirit, Cang Yu looked at Xuan Jie, Xuan Jie looked at the Yangtze River without saying a word, he had never been in the world, seeing these new things, he didn't feel any joy at all All the joy in Cangyu's heart was washed away by the river.
They didn't know what the signature dish was, so they just took the money and asked the waiter to pick it up by himself. After a while, several dishes were brought out, and the waiter warmed up a few bottles of wine. He explained the interesting facts about the wine and the reason clearly, as he said While arranging the dishes, he articulated clearly and spoke very fast, which sounded very interesting. When the food and wine were put away, his sharp tongue stopped: "It's easy to get drunk if you are greedy, and the food and wine are complete. Please be careful here, and No order."
Cangyu shook her head and let him go down.
"What is this?" Xuan Jie took a sip of the hot wine, only felt the pungent and sweet taste, like a knife cutting his throat, and burning his stomach like a fire, but the tip of his tongue had a sweet taste, he couldn't help being very surprised.
"It's wine."
Before Cangyu could answer, a staggering Taoist suddenly rushed up to their floor. There were not many guests on this floor, and everyone sat in a remote place. When he saw a dirty Taoist coming up, he was afraid of avoiding it, so he hurriedly called the bartender The shopkeeper Xiao Er came up to solve this trouble.Going up and down, the narrow stairs are crowded with three or four waitresses who are reluctant, the Taoist took a big step, his movements were like the wind, but he arrived at the Cangyu table in a short time, took a bottle of hot wine and poured it down his throat Drink it, and put it down after drinking it.
The other guests secretly complained that they were getting unlucky, but Cangyu was different, he found it more interesting than sullen and disappointing.
Most of the time in the novels, this kind of drinker will not be a small supporting role without a name. If he is an expert, there is no harm in making friends; Happy, it doesn't matter if this wine is a reward.If there is nothing, it will not be too late to ask the waiter and the shopkeeper to drive him out.
"You are that person just now." Xuan Jie frowned.
"Hey, the kid is so sharp." The dirty Taoist smiled and stretched out his hand to tear the chicken.
It seems to be a tall man.
Cangyu remained calm, and picked up her own glass of wine and drank it slowly. The wine at this time was different from that of later generations. For Cangyu, it was a bit sweeter, and it was like a combination of rice wine and fruit wine, not choking on the throat. But it is indeed a bit spicy, like a small tube of mustard squeezed in the throat.
It's not bad to drink, but it's far from delicious.
"Bartender! Bring me another two taels of spring wine!" This dirty Taoist didn't take advantage of Cangyu and Xuanjie, "I will serve new wine and dishes with these two. The old man is hungry and thirsty, and he tasted a few mouthfuls greedily. They think the taste is gone."
He squinted his eyes and hiccupped for five taels of silver.But it wasn't until after the wine was served that Cangyu realized that what he said was not a pound, but a price.
Wine needs a lot of grain to brew, so it is expensive, but it is not so expensive. There are so many pots of wine here in Cangyu, and it may not be worth two taels of silver.
This filthy Taoist did not play cards according to common sense. Seeing that he was filthy all over, he came uninvited, and his speech was very upright, unlike many myths where the Taoist deliberately made it difficult for the Taoist, and did not give money for drinking. Everything is explained by fate.It is said that he is full of smoke and fire, and he completely forgets about the customs; he is a Taoist priest in the world, and he understands people's hearts, and he has everything.
The dirty Taoist squatted on the table and squinted at Cangyu for a while, seeing him sitting firmly like a mountain, he suddenly smiled and said: "It's not fun, it's not fun, people like you don't have much fun, I'm playing with this little brother, eating wine like this What kind of fun is it, drunk and not drunk, awake but not awake, boring! boring! I invite you to drink!"
"Sunset West Mountain, I'm afraid it's not good to be so drunk." Cangyu was said to be boring, and he was not angry. Dirty, reluctant to use chopsticks, waiting for new dishes to come up.
"You look at the sunset and the moon rising, it's not early, but I think it's still a long time." The dirty Taoist said with a chuckle.
Cangyu was very patient, and said again: "Drunkenness may hurt your body."
The dirty Taoist waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, even if you drink all the wine from the rivers and drink all the wine from the Milky Way, you won't get me drunk."
The restaurant opened its doors to do business, all it wanted was money. Although the dirty Taoist disturbed the guests before, he finally sat down at Cangyu's table. Seeing that Cangyu and Xuanjie were not the same, he thought it was the two of them. The bartender couldn't help muttering to himself, "You two young masters, why do you have such weird and dirty friends.
Now seeing this filthy Taoist being generous and open-minded again, knowing that he met a benefactor, his thoughts suddenly changed, and it became again: After all, rich people are friends with rich people.
After the turmoil subsided, the other guests felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the filthy Taoist was not a crazy fool.
"What is the Taoist here for?"
Cangyu was curious, he and Xuan Jie were both monsters, it was impossible to enlighten him, this Taoist didn't look like an official from the Heavenly Court, even if he was, he didn't go to the demon world to go to the Heavenly Court.
"Come to eat and drink." The Taoist glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Cangyu glanced at Xuan Jie, smiled slightly and said, "Come and get drunk."
The Taoist was startled, then laughed loudly and said, "It suits me very much! It suits me very well!"
Xuan Jie didn't know what kind of meditation the two of them were playing, what mysterious things they were talking about, he just frowned, and drank the wine cup by cup, feeling that his stomach was burning, with a bit of painful warmth, which was somewhat similar to the flame he was after , although not completely satisfied, but at any rate it is a little consolation.He came to this world to find something he didn't know, so he was not afraid to try it. After a while, the wine bottle on the table was empty.
When the wine was seventy percent drunk, a little redness appeared on Xuan Jie's face, and even his eyes were as boundless as a river, and a little warmth was added to his cold and indifferent face, making him somewhat at a loss , He didn't know Zui was like this, he felt a little scary for no reason, and subconsciously grabbed Cangyu's hand on the table, holding it in the palm was cold, and only then did he feel down-to-earth.
"What is this?" Xuan Jie was still like when he was a child, asking whenever he didn't understand.
The dirty Taoist laughed and said, "You seem to be able to drink, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. Only a few bottles of wine turned upside down like the old willow tree swaying in the wind downstairs."
"This is drunk." Cangyu didn't push Xuanjie away, but said in a gentle voice, "What do you think?"
Xuan Jie bowed slightly, panting in a low voice, he shook his head and said, "No, I don't like this."
The dirty Taoist said with great interest: "Where is the good boy who ran away? I thought he had a good face, and I thought he was a veteran who came out of the world of mortals. Why did he become so drunk after two glasses of wine. He is restrained by nature. , It’s better not to eat and get drunk, it’s better not to eat and get drunk, wine is such a thing, it’s a madman, who doesn’t know the taste in the cup, burns his throat like a scorched cauldron, and his breath is like thunder.”
"Two words for the same wine." Cangyu laughed, "Taoists are not people who love wine."
"How can you be a person who loves wine? I love the sweetness and deliciousness of this wine. Taste its mellow fragrance. This is called wine love. What is the world's greed for wine? It's clearly a dream after drunk. I don't care how the wine tastes. This time It’s better not to love wine than not to love wine.” The dirty Taoist laughed loudly, “I’m a wine lover, but I don’t like a drinker. This kid loves wine but not a drinker. I appreciate it very much. He really tastes like wine.”
Cangyu pretended for a long time, and the skill bar was cooling down, saying that this dirty Taoist was no good, so she smiled and didn't answer.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and before the curfew, the street was still bustling with many lights, and the red lanterns were reflected in the river, like a bright moon surrounded by red clouds at night, where the sun and the moon are here Ye Tonghui.
The crazy students upstairs finally finished chatting, and their laughter could be heard all over the restaurant, a scholar seemed to be the leader, his voice was very clear, and he said with a smile: "It's about this time, I think the garden has opened, let's go to the theater together. "
Many scholars laughed knowingly.
At this time, masculinity is quite popular in the world of scholars. If you want to have fun overnight, you will have fun like a prostitute. You don't take it seriously. When you mature, you still want to find a decent lady to marry and have children.It's just that if you want to have fun with a girl, you can go to a brothel; finding a man is troublesome, but there is still a way, that is, the theater, those who sing Danjiao are sold to the theater troupe when they are young, and if they get blue eyes, they can be enjoyed by dignitaries. It is a common occurrence, and it is tacit understanding.
Cangyu didn't know, the dirty Taoist didn't care, and Xuanjie was drunk, and he didn't understand at all.
After the dirty Taoist finished drinking, he suddenly invited Cangyu and said, "The old Taoist in the theater has never seen it before. Now it's fate. Let's go sit and listen to the opera?"
Cangyu asked the shopkeeper to bring hangover soup for Xuanjie to drink, and let the night breeze blow away the smell of alcohol. Only then did Xuanjie come back to his senses. He didn't speak, but his expression was somewhat ugly.
In fact, Cangyu wanted to say a wisecrack to Xuanjie: welcome to the human world.
If you think about it too badly, maybe Xuan Jie hasn't gotten out of Jiu Jin yet, thinking that he is still in a dream, and his backhand is just a slap in the face, that would be too wronged, so he had to give up.
The opera garden was built by a wealthy family named Xie in Ning'an City. They often invite famous troupes to perform new plays.
Speaking of the owner of the theatrical garden, there is another strange thing. I heard that the owner had only one son, and a vision came from heaven when he was born. A crazy Taoist came to the door and said that this child is not an ordinary person, and I am afraid that he will not live to be 25 years old. He wanted to follow him to become a monk, but he was kicked out; after that, the young master of the Xie family started to get sick since he was three years old, and he almost died several times. It was still the crazy Taoist who came to give him the magic elixir, and he has only lived to this day.
This young master of the Xie family is strange to say, he is a dude by nature, and he is also extremely talented. Someone invited the governor to come to the poetry meeting before, and he fell in love with the talent of the young master of the Xie family, and wanted to accept him as a disciple, but was rejected by the Xie family. .
This is a good thing that no one can expect, but his family fears it like snakes and scorpions.In fact, it's not surprising when you think about it, the couple have only such an only son, with countless property in the family, and a single pass, they are not willing to let him go to the officialdom to be involved in the bumps and bumps of a half-job.
Rich and talented, all the advantages were taken by his family.
It's a pity, a short-lived ghost.
Cangyu heard the sour chanting of passers-by on the road, and felt a little funny for a while, this is a thing in the mortal world, fame and fortune, power and wealth, he doesn't need to worry about these things now, it sounds like a lifetime away.
The dirty Taoist was a little drunk along the way, and he drank a gourd of wine before he left, and he didn't know how many ears he listened to.
Xuan Jie didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing, but just looked around, feeling a little novel.
Wealthy families have people who love to listen to operas, and most of them have a troupe of opera troupes in their homes, but after all, the house flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, and the famous troupes seem to be those wandering troupes. He has his own skills, and sometimes it is not necessarily just listening to the opera, so there is an endless stream of tourists coming and going in this theater.
Recently, because several dignitaries have come to listen to the opera, the value of the theater has skyrocketed, not to mention the ticket price, but also the invitation card, once the invitation card is involved in everything, it seems that it is hard to find a thousand dollars.The dirty Taoist didn't know where the post came from, so he didn't hesitate, and took the two of them, who had just met by chance, in together.
There is already a lot of traffic outside, and the inside is even more crowded. There are men and women listening to the opera, but the women basically sit in the second floor wing room and open a window to listen, so the first floor is full of people and only black men can be seen.
Before Cangyu sat down, some unpleasant things happened. Some drunken lunatics thought he was an actor, and wanted to touch him when he stood up. The dirty Taoist came back in time, knocked the lunatic unconscious with a wine gourd, and said slowly: "Hurry up, slow down, don't let the seats of the three of us be taken away."
The dirty Taoist looked calm, as if he didn't know what happened just now, he knocked someone unconscious, until he sat down, he said: "The kid behind you is like a beast."
That's a good question, but it's not a beast.
Cangyu smiled, and didn't answer, he didn't pay much attention to opera, and the status of opera actors today is far from as good as later generations, they are still low-level, barely earning a living; most of the opera writers are talented scholars, Selling opera books to earn some money to live on, and after the money is settled, it has nothing to do with each other.
Therefore, no matter whether it is singing or writing, it is not so particular.
If you don't sing according to the "rules" on stage, the audience will just listen at will.
The play sung today is called "Si Fan". The story is very simple. It is about a good monk who was deceived by a fox demon, gave up his practice, and fell into the world of mortals.
The writer of the opera really dared to write, and the opera singer even more courageously sang. On the stage, the performance was lingering, and the dirty Taoist enthusiastically told Cangyu Science Popularization that this was true, but it was not a fox or a ghost. In order to save the ghost, the eminent monk sank into the world of mortals together with him, and he sacrificed his life to feed the ghost.
The feelings are also adapted from real people and real events.
Xuan Jie looked at it very seriously, and almost gave him a pen and paper to take notes carefully. Cang Yu listened to what the dirty Taoist said for a while, then leaned over to him and asked him, "What do you think?"
"This monk is too unstable." Xuan Jie said harshly.
Cangyu thought it was a little funny, and wondered, "Why?"
That fox demon is not half as good-looking as you.
Xuan Jie wanted to say these words, but felt that it was inappropriate, and he didn't really understand where he didn't fit, so he said calmly after a long while: "If you don't have the heart of a Buddha, what kind of monk should you be?"
This sentence was really young, Cang Yu was just about to speak when he heard a long sigh from the dirty Taoist beside him.The dirty Taoist probably thought the two of them were very interesting, and was tilting his head over to eavesdrop. He didn't expect to hear such a sentence, so he couldn't help repeating it several times: "If you don't have a Buddha heart, what kind of monk will you be?"
He looked gloomy, he didn't know what he thought of, suddenly got up and walked away, leaving the secular world behind.
The two demons left Guxu City in the early morning of the next day. Cangyu had calculated the plot. If the original direction was followed, one of the harem who did not appear would have a sense of presence of 10,000+ words in Guxu City. Now he is not there. It means that most of the moths he will make are less, and Rong Dan won't be in any trouble for a while, not to mention that even if she has trouble, she doesn't need to rescue her at all.
Cangyu gave her the sound-transmitting paper crane, not so much to save her anytime and anywhere, but rather to worry that she would be involved in the plot again. After all, Rong Dan has the halo of the heroine to protect her, and he and Xuan Jie do not.
The two-day illusion caused a gap of 400 years. Xuan Jie looked the same as usual, but he was silent a lot on weekdays, and his youthful frivolity and enthusiasm disappeared without a trace.
Xuan Jie was originally a raging wave visible to the naked eye, but now it has become a calm sea, and it is impossible to see the depth of the bottom.
Cangyu read books when he was young, and he could read all kinds of books at that time. After all, it was the era of information explosion, and everything he should know and shouldn't know was stuffed in his head.But the old man always said that some books should be read at the right age. He didn't understand it at the time, but now he knows it after seeing Xuan Jie. Knowing some truths too early will inevitably damage the pride of youth.
Sooner or later, people will go from youthful to mature, from ignorant and naive to sleek and sophisticated, which should have been slower.
Cangyu looked at Xuan Jie, who had quickly reborn in a place he didn't know about, and grew into an adult without any resentment towards fate.Xuanjie is not ignorant of the world, on the contrary, he has learned too much from Cangyu, so he discarded and shattered the innocence that young children should have early on, and the rest of the heart was polished by reality, which is weird. matured.
Qianniang was right, but he was wrong.
He retrieved the child, but never gave him a normal education.
Cangyu taught Xuanjie all the despicableness and filth in the roots of all beings, the so-called reality of the world. He let the child choose his own future path, let Xuanjie choose his rough embryo type, like The original clay body of porcelain.
He finally chose.
It's not that Xuan Jie's current appearance is bad, it's just that he has been a beast for 400 years for no reason, and anyone would be bored.Xuan explained that this matter is over, is it over?Cangyu was worried that he was like when he was a child, no matter what kind of wound he had, he just licked it by himself, never complained of pain, as if the world was so big, he came and went alone.
At that time, Cangyu still felt that Xuan Jie was reassuring, but now that he thinks about it, he has taught Xuan Jie everything in the past twenty years, except that he has not taught him weakness.
How can one go to the end alone, whether it is a human or a demon, if you don't rely on others to support you for a while, how can you have the energy to continue walking this long life.
"What are you thinking?"
Xuan Jie asked him, the two of them entered the boat and went down the river. The boat was big enough for two men, but it was too small to be sandwiched between other merchant ships. Like a lone leaf rippling in the water.After sailing for half a day, the boat passed a restaurant near the river. It was getting late, and a few unrestrained scholars were ordering wine, their voices spread far away, and one with a louder voice was knocking on a glass and singing at the top of his voice.
"What?" Cangyu heard the voice and came out of the cabin. He looked into the distance and saw a restaurant with a good view of the river. A few scholars were singing and drinking, talking high-spirited, looking very happy. His heart moved and he asked. said, "Where have we been?"
Xuan Jiedao didn't quite understand, but still replied: "Yong'an City."
Rong Dan taught him how to read maps and ask directions, and Xuan Jie is much better than Cang Yu in this regard.
Cangyu didn't know what Yong'an City was, just like he didn't know what Ning'an and Guxu were before he went there, he just thought the name of the city sounded auspicious, it was the same as Ning'an, everyone liked it It's a good idea, anyway, there is no fixed next stop, it's the same wherever you go.
"Come here." Cangyu beckoned to Xuanjie, and the young man obediently leaned over, staring into the abyss, the elder of Qingqiu pointed to the restaurant and said, "Do you understand what they are doing?"
Xuan Jie didn't take it seriously: "They were singing and drinking." He said that his heart moved slightly when he sang, and he felt a faint flame in his chest beating for a moment. He didn't know why it was beating. sound.
The boat was not going too fast on the river. At this time, no one was in charge of the boat, and there was no wind and waves. The people in the restaurant watched them move forward slowly, and the people on their boat watched the scenery along the way slowly.
Cangyu was not close to Xuanjie, and he seldom had close contact with anyone unless necessary, but Xuanjie could still smell Cangyu's breath, which was different from the scent of bluegrass on Nightmare's body. It was the soap locust smell from yesterday's inn, unremarkable.
Does the white fox have the same taste?
Xuan Jie couldn't remember clearly.
"Xuan Jie, I have taught you many things, some too early, some too late." Cangyu said, his lips moved slightly, not as indifferent as in previous years, talking about life and death is nothing more than a common thing in the world Things, everyone's choice and fate are commonplace in his mouth, he finally stretched out his hand, patted Xuan Jie's shoulder, and said lightly, "You already know suffering, I will teach you how to taste happiness."
They moored the boat at the ferry and entered Ning'an City. At this time, it was time for each family to light a fire and cook, and there were still many passers-by. They walked among the tourists, but no one noticed these two handsome men.

What a big deal.What's more, Feng Pingxu's strength should be one of the best among mortals. His fight with the Nightmare was only [-]-[-], and Xuanjie could tear the Nightmare apart. Go, there is little to fear.
"Don't worry." Cangyu shook her head, walked with Xuanjie for a while, and finally found the restaurant.
Nowadays, there is no word of mouth and reviews to know. Whether the restaurant is good or not, you have to try it yourself. Instead of finding a small tavern that you don’t know the details of, it’s better to go to this restaurant for a drink. After all, it depends on the interest of the scholars just now. With a high-spirited look, the wine here is hard to drink.
When the two of them went upstairs to find a seat, they were on the floor below the group of scholars, and they could see a waiter waiting attentively at the stairway, so that they could greet them in time without disturbing their elegant mood.Cangyu and Xuanjie were both dragons and phoenixes among men, and their clothes were even more impressive. Although the restaurant is not likely to watch people order dishes, it has a much more enthusiastic attitude after all. They invited the two of them to a seat and found a table overlooking the river.

The scholar upstairs was still singing, his voice was wild and unrestrained, full of spirit, Cang Yu looked at Xuan Jie, Xuan Jie looked at the Yangtze River without saying a word, he had never been in the world, seeing these new things, he didn't feel any joy at all All the joy in Cangyu's heart was washed away by the river.
They didn't know what the signature dish was, so they just took the money and asked the waiter to pick it up by himself. After a while, several dishes were brought out, and the waiter warmed up a few bottles of wine. He explained the interesting facts about the wine and the reason clearly, as he said While arranging the dishes, he articulated clearly and spoke very fast, which sounded very interesting. When the food and wine were put away, his sharp tongue stopped: "It's easy to get drunk if you are greedy, and the food and wine are complete. Please be careful here, and No order."
Cangyu shook her head and let him go down.
"What is this?" Xuan Jie took a sip of the hot wine, only felt the pungent and sweet taste, like a knife cutting his throat, and burning his stomach like a fire, but the tip of his tongue had a sweet taste, he couldn't help being very surprised.
"It's wine."
Before Cangyu could answer, a staggering Taoist suddenly rushed up to their floor. There were not many guests on this floor, and everyone sat in a remote place. When he saw a dirty Taoist coming up, he was afraid of avoiding it, so he hurriedly called the bartender The shopkeeper Xiao Er came up to solve this trouble.Going up and down, the narrow stairs are crowded with three or four waitresses who are reluctant, the Taoist took a big step, his movements were like the wind, but he arrived at the Cangyu table in a short time, took a bottle of hot wine and poured it down his throat Drink it, and put it down after drinking it.
The other guests secretly complained that they were getting unlucky, but Cangyu was different, he found it more interesting than sullen and disappointing.
Most of the time in the novels, this kind of drinker will not be a small supporting role without a name. If he is an expert, there is no harm in making friends; Happy, it doesn't matter if this wine is a reward.If there is nothing, it will not be too late to ask the waiter and the shopkeeper to drive him out.
"You are that person just now." Xuan Jie frowned.
"Hey, the kid is so sharp." The dirty Taoist smiled and stretched out his hand to tear the chicken.
It seems to be a tall man.
Cangyu remained calm, and picked up her own glass of wine and drank it slowly. The wine at this time was different from that of later generations. For Cangyu, it was a bit sweeter, and it was like a combination of rice wine and fruit wine, not choking on the throat. But it is indeed a bit spicy, like a small tube of mustard squeezed in the throat.
It's not bad to drink, but it's far from delicious.
"Bartender! Bring me another two taels of spring wine!" This dirty Taoist didn't take advantage of Cangyu and Xuanjie, "I will serve new wine and dishes with these two. The old man is hungry and thirsty, and he tasted a few mouthfuls greedily. They think the taste is gone."
He squinted his eyes and hiccupped for five taels of silver.But it wasn't until after the wine was served that Cangyu realized that what he said was not a pound, but a price.
Wine needs a lot of grain to brew, so it is expensive, but it is not so expensive. There are so many pots of wine here in Cangyu, and it may not be worth two taels of silver.
This filthy Taoist did not play cards according to common sense. Seeing that he was filthy all over, he came uninvited, and his speech was very upright, unlike many myths where the Taoist deliberately made it difficult for the Taoist, and did not give money for drinking. Everything is explained by fate.It is said that he is full of smoke and fire, and he completely forgets about the customs; he is a Taoist priest in the world, and he understands people's hearts, and he has everything.
The dirty Taoist squatted on the table and squinted at Cangyu for a while, seeing him sitting firmly like a mountain, he suddenly smiled and said: "It's not fun, it's not fun, people like you don't have much fun, I'm playing with this little brother, eating wine like this What kind of fun is it, drunk and not drunk, awake but not awake, boring! boring! I invite you to drink!"
"Sunset West Mountain, I'm afraid it's not good to be so drunk." Cangyu was said to be boring, and he was not angry. Dirty, reluctant to use chopsticks, waiting for new dishes to come up.
"You look at the sunset and the moon rising, it's not early, but I think it's still a long time." The dirty Taoist said with a chuckle.
Cangyu was very patient, and said again: "Drunkenness may hurt your body."
The dirty Taoist waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, even if you drink all the wine from the rivers and drink all the wine from the Milky Way, you won't get me drunk."
The restaurant opened its doors to do business, all it wanted was money. Although the dirty Taoist disturbed the guests before, he finally sat down at Cangyu's table. Seeing that Cangyu and Xuanjie were not the same, he thought it was the two of them. The bartender couldn't help muttering to himself, "You two young masters, why do you have such weird and dirty friends.
Now seeing this filthy Taoist being generous and open-minded again, knowing that he met a benefactor, his thoughts suddenly changed, and it became again: After all, rich people are friends with rich people.
After the turmoil subsided, the other guests felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the filthy Taoist was not a crazy fool.
"What is the Taoist here for?"
Cangyu was curious, he and Xuan Jie were both monsters, it was impossible to enlighten him, this Taoist didn't look like an official from the Heavenly Court, even if he was, he didn't go to the demon world to go to the Heavenly Court.
"Come to eat and drink." The Taoist glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Cangyu glanced at Xuan Jie, smiled slightly and said, "Come and get drunk."
The Taoist was startled, then laughed loudly and said, "It suits me very much! It suits me very well!"
Xuan Jie didn't know what kind of meditation the two of them were playing, what mysterious things they were talking about, he just frowned, and drank the wine cup by cup, feeling that his stomach was burning, with a bit of painful warmth, which was somewhat similar to the flame he was after , although not completely satisfied, but at any rate it is a little consolation.He came to this world to find something he didn't know, so he was not afraid to try it. After a while, the wine bottle on the table was empty.
When the wine was seventy percent drunk, a little redness appeared on Xuan Jie's face, and even his eyes were as boundless as a river, and a little warmth was added to his cold and indifferent face, making him somewhat at a loss , He didn't know Zui was like this, he felt a little scary for no reason, and subconsciously grabbed Cangyu's hand on the table, holding it in the palm was cold, and only then did he feel down-to-earth.
"What is this?" Xuan Jie was still like when he was a child, asking whenever he didn't understand.
The dirty Taoist laughed and said, "You seem to be able to drink, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. Only a few bottles of wine turned upside down like the old willow tree swaying in the wind downstairs."
"This is drunk." Cangyu didn't push Xuanjie away, but said in a gentle voice, "What do you think?"
Xuan Jie bowed slightly, panting in a low voice, he shook his head and said, "No, I don't like this."
The dirty Taoist said with great interest: "Where is the good boy who ran away? I thought he had a good face, and I thought he was a veteran who came out of the world of mortals. Why did he become so drunk after two glasses of wine. He is restrained by nature. , It’s better not to eat and get drunk, it’s better not to eat and get drunk, wine is such a thing, it’s a madman, who doesn’t know the taste in the cup, burns his throat like a scorched cauldron, and his breath is like thunder.”
"Two words for the same wine." Cangyu laughed, "Taoists are not people who love wine."
"How can you be a person who loves wine? I love the sweetness and deliciousness of this wine. Taste its mellow fragrance. This is called wine love. What is the world's greed for wine? It's clearly a dream after drunk. I don't care how the wine tastes. This time It’s better not to love wine than not to love wine.” The dirty Taoist laughed loudly, “I’m a wine lover, but I don’t like a drinker. This kid loves wine but not a drinker. I appreciate it very much. He really tastes like wine.”
Cangyu pretended for a long time, and the skill bar was cooling down, saying that this dirty Taoist was no good, so she smiled and didn't answer.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and before the curfew, the street was still bustling with many lights, and the red lanterns were reflected in the river, like a bright moon surrounded by red clouds at night, where the sun and the moon are here Ye Tonghui.
The crazy students upstairs finally finished chatting, and their laughter could be heard all over the restaurant, a scholar seemed to be the leader, his voice was very clear, and he said with a smile: "It's about this time, I think the garden has opened, let's go to the theater together. "
Many scholars laughed knowingly.
At this time, masculinity is quite popular in the world of scholars. If you want to have fun overnight, you will have fun like a prostitute. You don't take it seriously. When you mature, you still want to find a decent lady to marry and have children.It's just that if you want to have fun with a girl, you can go to a brothel; finding a man is troublesome, but there is still a way, that is, the theater, those who sing Danjiao are sold to the theater troupe when they are young, and if they get blue eyes, they can be enjoyed by dignitaries. It is a common occurrence, and it is tacit understanding.
Cangyu didn't know, the dirty Taoist didn't care, and Xuanjie was drunk, and he didn't understand at all.
After the dirty Taoist finished drinking, he suddenly invited Cangyu and said, "The old Taoist in the theater has never seen it before. Now it's fate. Let's go sit and listen to the opera?"
Cangyu asked the shopkeeper to bring hangover soup for Xuanjie to drink, and let the night breeze blow away the smell of alcohol. Only then did Xuanjie come back to his senses. He didn't speak, but his expression was somewhat ugly.
In fact, Cangyu wanted to say a wisecrack to Xuanjie: welcome to the human world.
If you think about it too badly, maybe Xuan Jie hasn't gotten out of Jiu Jin yet, thinking that he is still in a dream, and his backhand is just a slap in the face, that would be too wronged, so he had to give up.
The opera garden was built by a wealthy family named Xie in Ning'an City. They often invite famous troupes to perform new plays.
Speaking of the owner of the theatrical garden, there is another strange thing. I heard that the owner had only one son, and a vision came from heaven when he was born. A crazy Taoist came to the door and said that this child is not an ordinary person, and I am afraid that he will not live to be 25 years old. He wanted to follow him to become a monk, but he was kicked out; after that, the young master of the Xie family started to get sick since he was three years old, and he almost died several times. It was still the crazy Taoist who came to give him the magic elixir, and he has only lived to this day.
This young master of the Xie family is strange to say, he is a dude by nature, and he is also extremely talented. Someone invited the governor to come to the poetry meeting before, and he fell in love with the talent of the young master of the Xie family, and wanted to accept him as a disciple, but was rejected by the Xie family. .
This is a good thing that no one can expect, but his family fears it like snakes and scorpions.In fact, it's not surprising when you think about it, the couple have only such an only son, with countless property in the family, and a single pass, they are not willing to let him go to the officialdom to be involved in the bumps and bumps of a half-job.
Rich and talented, all the advantages were taken by his family.
It's a pity, a short-lived ghost.
Cangyu heard the sour chanting of passers-by on the road, and felt a little funny for a while, this is a thing in the mortal world, fame and fortune, power and wealth, he doesn't need to worry about these things now, it sounds like a lifetime away.
The dirty Taoist was a little drunk along the way, and he drank a gourd of wine before he left, and he didn't know how many ears he listened to.
Xuan Jie didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing, but just looked around, feeling a little novel.
Wealthy families have people who love to listen to operas, and most of them have a troupe of opera troupes in their homes, but after all, the house flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, and the famous troupes seem to be those wandering troupes. He has his own skills, and sometimes it is not necessarily just listening to the opera, so there is an endless stream of tourists coming and going in this theater.
Recently, because several dignitaries have come to listen to the opera, the value of the theater has skyrocketed, not to mention the ticket price, but also the invitation card, once the invitation card is involved in everything, it seems that it is hard to find a thousand dollars.The dirty Taoist didn't know where the post came from, so he didn't hesitate, and took the two of them, who had just met by chance, in together.
There is already a lot of traffic outside, and the inside is even more crowded. There are men and women listening to the opera, but the women basically sit in the second floor wing room and open a window to listen, so the first floor is full of people and only black men can be seen.
Before Cangyu sat down, some unpleasant things happened. Some drunken lunatics thought he was an actor, and wanted to touch him when he stood up. The dirty Taoist came back in time, knocked the lunatic unconscious with a wine gourd, and said slowly: "Hurry up, slow down, don't let the seats of the three of us be taken away."
The dirty Taoist looked calm, as if he didn't know what happened just now, he knocked someone unconscious, until he sat down, he said: "The kid behind you is like a beast."
That's a good question, but it's not a beast.
Cangyu smiled, and didn't answer, he didn't pay much attention to opera, and the status of opera actors today is far from as good as later generations, they are still low-level, barely earning a living; most of the opera writers are talented scholars, Selling opera books to earn some money to live on, and after the money is settled, it has nothing to do with each other.
Therefore, no matter whether it is singing or writing, it is not so particular.
If you don't sing according to the "rules" on stage, the audience will just listen at will.
The play sung today is called "Si Fan". The story is very simple. It is about a good monk who was deceived by a fox demon, gave up his practice, and fell into the world of mortals.
The writer of the opera really dared to write, and the opera singer even more courageously sang. On the stage, the performance was lingering, and the dirty Taoist enthusiastically told Cangyu Science Popularization that this was true, but it was not a fox or a ghost. In order to save the ghost, the eminent monk sank into the world of mortals together with him, and he sacrificed his life to feed the ghost.
The feelings are also adapted from real people and real events.
Xuan Jie looked at it very seriously, and almost gave him a pen and paper to take notes carefully. Cang Yu listened to what the dirty Taoist said for a while, then leaned over to him and asked him, "What do you think?"
"This monk is too unstable." Xuan Jie said harshly.
Cangyu thought it was a little funny, and wondered, "Why?"
That fox demon is not half as good-looking as you.
Xuan Jie wanted to say these words, but felt that it was inappropriate, and he didn't really understand where he didn't fit, so he said calmly after a long while: "If you don't have the heart of a Buddha, what kind of monk should you be?"
This sentence was really young, Cang Yu was just about to speak when he heard a long sigh from the dirty Taoist beside him.The dirty Taoist probably thought the two of them were very interesting, and was tilting his head over to eavesdrop. He didn't expect to hear such a sentence, so he couldn't help repeating it several times: "If you don't have a Buddha heart, what kind of monk will you be?"
He looked gloomy, he didn't know what he thought of, suddenly got up and walked away, leaving the secular world behind.
