Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Now that we have talked about Di Bujue’s side, let’s go back and talk about Double Harmony.
Let's say that earlier that day, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, like all the heroes in the world, also returned to the shore from Liugong Island by boat.
However, after they got off the ship, they did not go to the Caobang helm for the banquet. Instead, they took Lin Yuancheng and Linghuxiang and left quietly without saying goodbye.
This is natural. After all, Sun and Huang came here in disguise today. They have finished their work and should not stay for a long time. Lin Yuancheng had just left Xingyimen, so it was a bit awkward to go to the banquet. As for Linghu Xiang, what about Linghu Xiang? ... He originally wanted to take advantage of this meal, but Sun and Huang reminded him that if he went, he would definitely be asked about the "Hunyuan Star Gate". When the time comes, he would not know anything about it, but he would It was troublesome, so he had to give up.
They can't eat the banquet of Caogang, but they can still eat the food stalls in the city.
The four of them hadn't had a good meal all day, so they simply found a small street in the city, sat down at a food stall on the side of the street, ordered a table of side dishes, and chatted while eating.
Some people may ask, Brother Sun is obviously not short of money, so why don't he treat the two new "disciples" to something good, and just eat at a roadside stall?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can guess: there are only a few cooks in Dengzhou who can cook "big dishes", and they are basically scattered in various restaurants or the homes of wealthy families. When the Cao Gang invites guests, they have to entertain thousands of people. With 800 people, they must have borrowed all these cooks, so basically all the higher-end restaurants in Dengzhou City are closed tonight, and only these roadside food stalls are still open as usual.
Furthermore, don't underestimate these roadside stalls. They can't prepare the "big dishes" for the banquet, but the local side dishes have a unique flavor.
When it comes to Dengzhou’s specialty, it is undoubtedly seafood.
As the saying goes, "Eat fish in the morning and crabs in the evening." Sun Yixie, as a "fish market tycoon," knows this very well, so now he didn't even order a single fish, but instead ordered a table of crabs.
The crabs in autumn are the most plump, and the poem writes them well - the chelates are covered with tender jade, and the shells are convex with red fat and fragrant.
Catch this crab out of the basket? Cook it freshly? Serve it hot on the table, with a bowl of old vinegar sprinkled with minced ginger, warm two pots of rice wine? Make a pot of winter melon and tofu stew? Serve it with a few fresh ones? Side dishes...you can eat this meal in your mouth? You don't even feel sorry for losing the chief sect leader of the four sects and three gangs.
What a pity? Leader Di will not be able to enjoy this meal.
It's not because he doesn't have the conditions to eat at this food stall? It's because he has no friends who can eat this meal with him.
…………
"Come on, come on? Let me propose a toast to you all." The crabs hadn't even arrived yet, so with just a few side dishes, Sun Yixie raised his glass.
At this time, he and Huang Donglai had naturally taken off their disguises and even changed into their spare clothes (coats).
"please."
"please."
Lin Yuancheng and Linghuxiang should be polite? They immediately put down their chopsticks and raised their glasses with both hands to respect each other.
Only Huang Donglai was not polite to Sun Yixie at all - was he holding chopsticks in one hand? He grabbed the cup with the other hand and raised it? He drank a glass without saying a word; look at the way he was eating... Even if Sun Yixie didn't toast? He should also be preparing to drink something from his mouth.
"Ah -" Brother Sun took a breath after drinking, and immediately continued, "You two? After drinking this glass of wine, we will be brothers from now on." He paused, and his eyes slanted towards Lin Yuancheng, "This Brothers, if there is anything you need help with..."
"Brother Sun..." Lin Yuancheng is also a smart person. He knew what Sun Yixie was going to say, so he replied directly, "...I understand what you mean." His tone was very relaxed, "But actually, you don't have to be too aggressive. I’m worried, let alone Shao Dejin, even if the entire Xingyi Sect comes to deal with me, I won’t be afraid.”
"Hey~" Sun Yixie waved his hand, "Obviously you're not afraid of him, but what if he's here for evil?"
"No, no, Brother Sun is worrying too much." Lin Yuancheng continued, "Based on my understanding of Shao Dejin, although this person is a villain, he cannot do such a thing because of his reputation and high self-esteem; What's more... now the whole world believes that I am a member of the Hunyuan Star Gate, and since we are both members of the Four Gates and Three Gangs, it is even more difficult for him to take action."
"Well..." Sun Yixie could tell that Lin Yuancheng was not willing to owe others favors, so he stopped talking, "Brother Lin, what are your plans for the future?"
"Ha..." Lin Yuancheng chuckled lightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and then said, "I am a person who seeks the Tao, and I entered the world to master the sword. It doesn't matter whether the Xingyi Sect waits for me or not; anyway, as long as I I'm still in the world, it's the same wherever I go, just take things as they come..." He paused for half a second, "But as for the top priority right now, I have to find a good sword first."
"Oh? Do you have a direction now?" Sun Yixie asked.
Lin Yuancheng replied: "I often hear people say that there is everything in the capital. I have never been to the capital when I was growing up, and this place is not too far from the capital, so I want to go there first to have a look."
"The capital..." Sun Yixie nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, Brother Lin, have you paid enough for me? Do you want me to be my brother..."
"No..." Lin Yuancheng quickly refused, "There are already too many troubles for Brother Sun in this area, how can I be embarrassed..."
"Hey! Why are you guys so polite?" Sun Yixie said as he stood up and came over. Regardless of the other party's resistance, he took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into Lin Yuancheng's arms, "One piece, just one piece." Ding! Can't you just treat it as something I lent to you?"
Linghu Xiang, who was sitting next to him, was dumbfounded. Not to mention that he was born in poverty, he had never seen such a big silver ingot in his life. What shocked him even more was that someone could force money to others like this, as if they were taking money. Instead, the other side suffered a loss.
Seeing Lin Yuancheng's refusal, Linghuxiang really wanted to say: "You can give it to me if you don't want it!"
"Eh? Xiao Xiang." Just when he was in a daze, Huang Donglai, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly called him, "What are your plans in the future?"
"Ah? Me?" Linghuxiang came back to his senses, thought for a moment and then answered, "Actually... I have only been in Jianghu for a few days, and today I originally wanted to see the world at the Seven Heroes Meeting, and see what's going on. Whichever sect is suitable for me, I will join that sect. I never expected that... I would become a member of your 'Hunyuan Star Sect' out of nowhere."
"Isn't this great?" On the other side, Sun Yixie, who had successfully stuffed his money, returned to his seat, picked up his chopsticks and said, "You will be the senior brother of our Hunyuan Star Gate from now on, haha... I don't count you. Is it okay to be ranked above Xiaolin?"
"I think it's okay." Lin Yuancheng didn't take the "Hunyuan Star Gate" seriously at first. He only thought it was a joke, so he laughed and joked.
At this time, Linghu Xiang naturally knew that the "Hunyuan Star Gate" was a sect they had made up temporarily. Strictly speaking, this sect "does not exist" at all, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Three eldest brothers, please forgive me. Just take me, you made up this sect out of thin air, with one leader and one protector, all with fake identities, and then including me and Brother Lin, there are two disciples in total... I will travel around the world with this empty title in the future? "
"You don't understand this." Sun Yixie's deception began, "We know that this sect is 'virtual', but outsiders don't know it. People only think that we are a reclusive person ranked among the four sects and the third gang." As for the high sect... Calculated this way, your senior brother's status should be similar to that of the third leader of the Cao Gang... You have such a high starting point when you first come out of the world, who can compare with it?"
But this time Linghu Xiang would not be fooled: "Brother, please don't bury me. I know my martial arts well... If you tell others that I am the top disciple of the sect, what if I have trouble with the top disciples of other sects in the future?" You start a fight and then get beaten up, is this 'Hunyuan Star Gate' cover up anymore?"
"Haha..." Sun Yixie raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "First of all, you can practice martial arts. You are still so young. When you gain strength in the future, you will naturally not be afraid of cheating; secondly... when you practice Before you come out, you don’t have to fight with people who are stronger than you." He paused and then added with a very subtle expression, "You have to understand... you don’t have to rely on martial arts to defeat others. .”
"Oh... don't teach children these things." Even Huang Donglai couldn't listen anymore, "Sun, do you want everyone in this family to be like you? Eye-piercing, kicking in the crotch...don't you follow martial ethics?"
"Mao!" Sun Yixie said, "How can I be that kind of person? If I show my integrity, I'll have it written straight on my face!"
"Every time you use lime powder to kill a person who is better than you in martial arts, just put a stroke on your face. That may be enough for a 'positive' character." Huang Donglai choked back.
"Go away..." Sun Yixie was poked at something that was difficult to argue with, so he responded with the word "go away", and then bit back, "What qualifications do you have to criticize me? You didn't help shake off the lime when I fucked Shen Youran." Firecrackers?" He also changed the subject, "By the way... I didn't see you for a while when I came back by boat today. Did you join forces with outsiders to make some conspiracy?"
"I'll fuck your sister!" Huang Donglai said, "At that time, I went to see Zhang Hao, the disciple of Wushi Sect, and gave him a few pills that I made myself to treat internal injuries. Do you understand this is called winning people's hearts?"
"Oh? Do you still have such intelligence?" Sun Yixie said.
"Nonsense, I am not fooling around in vain." Huang Donglai said, "Brother can tell at a glance that the reckless man named Zhang is a man who knows how to repay his kindness. You will definitely not lose money by selling him a favor."
The conversation between these two guys sounds like a quarrel, but not like a quarrel. Some of the content seems shameless and explicit, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that it doesn't matter if you say it...
For Linghuxiang, who was not familiar with the two of them, this bickering was really amazing. However, Lin Yuancheng was already familiar with their styles, so he didn't take it seriously. He just turned his head and said to Linghuxiang calmly: "Brother Linghu, if you don't give up, do you want to come to the capital with me? You and I are both swordsmen, and we are similar in age. Maybe we can teach each other something."
"Okay!" When Linghu Xiang heard this, he thought that this was a good thing. Lin Yuancheng was much more reliable than Sun and Huang. "Then I hope Brother Lin can give me more advice in the future."
"Ha... you should call me Junior Brother Lin. What do you call 'Brother Lin'? Senior Brother." Lin Yuancheng was in a really good mood tonight. After a few glasses of wine, he actually started to joke.
Later, he figured it out - in fact, deep down in his heart, he already felt disgusted with staying in Xingyimen, so as soon as he got out, he suddenly felt that the world was vast and he felt relaxed.
"Hahaha..." Linghu Xiang also smiled knowingly, "Okay, from now on we will treat each other as brothers and sisters in front of our colleagues. Don't say that I took advantage of you."
Speaking of which, the two drank another drink.
Just at this time, the crab was also served, and the four of them put down their chopsticks and started eating it.
Unknowingly, their table of wine had passed six or seventy-eight rounds.
When the sixth additional jug of wine was served, Linghuxiang thought of asking: "By the way...Brother Sun, Brother Huang, where are you two planning to go after today?"
When Sun and Huang heard this, they looked at each other.
Sun Yixie shrugged his shoulders and indicated with his eyes and bulging cheeks that his mouth was busy.
Therefore, it was Huang Donglai who said: "Oh, we have already discussed it..." As he spoke, he used the time to talk to serve himself a bowl of winter melon and tofu, "As for me, I plan to go home first... "
It was indeed time for Huang Donglai to go back. You must know that when he left home for the first time, it was when he went to Hangzhou to visit Mr. Sun. Although he later went home to say hello before going to the mountain to practice Buddhism, that time he was always Dad happened to be away, and when he came down from the mountain this time, he went straight to Dengzhou without stopping in Fushun on the way... All things considered, he and his dad hadn't seen each other for several years.
"Brother Sun, he has nothing to do, so he plans to go to Fushun with me, and by the way, he will also return the favor on behalf of his father and my father." Huang Donglai continued.
"Oh...it turns out that the Sun and Huang families are family friends." Linghuxiang nodded and said as if he suddenly understood, "Let me just say...how can someone call each other brothers and sisters while saying bad things to each other without hurting their feelings."
"This has nothing to do with whether their ancestors were family friends..." After hearing this, Lin Yuancheng immediately complained coldly.
However, he only said the first half of the sentence, and the second half of the sentence, "...It's just that these two guys have no character." He kept it in his heart and did not say it out.
Huang Donglai also seemed to see what Lin Yuancheng was thinking, so he quickly picked up the wine glass and shouted: "Haha... I won't talk anymore. The four of us brothers have said goodbye today and we don't know when we can get together again. Let's have another drink. .”
Everyone immediately raised their glasses to drink together, pushing cups and changing cups, and they were very happy.
While talking and laughing, the night was already deep.
At the end of Haishi, the four of them said goodbye at the stall and went back in two ways.
At this moment, Sun and Huang did not know that their departure would lead to the death of Sun Yixie in a foreign land, and Huang Dong came to the underworld to pursue his soul.
