Li Ye stared blankly at Xia Wutong in front of the south. He was a little drunk at this time.
Putting down the wine glass, Li Ye cut a piece of meat for each of the three of them, and also cut a piece for himself and put it in his mouth to bite.
Nangong Ruyu looked up at him and said seriously: "Master, Yu'er can't understand what you said, but Yu'er will remember it seriously. Sister, please help Yu'er remember it, so that when Yu'er doesn't understand in the future, Just ask you."
Xia Wutong looked at Nangong Ruyu, who looked up at her little red face, and couldn't help but feel a little crazy.
Do you think that I have also come from your age?
Could it be that you now are just as fascinated by this guy in front of you as I was back then.
After thinking about it, she nodded gently, took out her silk scarf and carefully wiped the oil stains from the corners of Nangong Ruyu's mouth, and then sighed quietly.
Ouyang Dongli looked at Li Ye quietly in front of him. He naturally understood the feelings between Li Ye and Mu Mu, but couldn't help but glance at Xia Wutong in front of him again, and then sighed.
"Many years have passed... I really want to forget everything that happened that day, but my only flaw is that I have a very good memory, and I can never forget what I should forget... Later I I left the place where I had lived for many years and wandered around the five realms.”
"We walked and we got here. ... But there will be a day when you are too old to walk, when you see snowflakes flying all over the sky in the snowy evening, you will think of life. A name, a song... At that moment, you will know that there is only one person you love most..."
"The glass of wine you drank was what I brewed that day. ... Later I wanted to brew it again and tried many methods, but found that I could no longer produce the taste of that kind of wine... Drink Once you finish the wine in the gourd, there will be no more wine in the world!"
Li Ye looked a little depressed. He raised his wine glass to signal to the two of them, then gently put it to his lips and drank it in one gulp.
Li Ye, who was getting drunk, murmured: "Not long ago, a man told me that there is a kind of wine called "Drunk Life, Dreams and Death". After drinking it, you can forget everything you have done before."
"He said that the biggest trouble people have is that they have too good a memory. How happy would it be if I could forget everything and every day would be a new beginning?"
Li Ye sighed softly and said to himself: "It turns out that this is the 'Drunken Life, Dream and Death' that Brother Nalan gave me. I never thought that many years later, we would meet the alcoholic master."
Looking at the three people in a daze, he continued: "My master said that he could never brew such wine again. Of course I didn't believe it, so I brewed more than a dozen tanks with him in the small courtyard of Xuantianguan, but it never worked. "
"Later, when I returned to Prajna Temple, Senior Brother Minghui also wanted it...but I didn't know what happened, so I brewed this drunken dream...and then, when I want to brew it again... Only then did I realize that he was just like my master."
"It was only then that I suddenly understood that the dream of drunkenness and death was just a joke."
"The more you wonder if you have forgotten someone, the clearer you will remember it. I once heard someone say that when you can no longer have someone, the only thing you can do is to make yourself not forget."
He was so worried that he drank all the drunkenness in the cup, looked at Ouyang Dongli blankly, and fell into his arms.
Nangong Ruyu and Xia Wutong screamed in surprise, thinking that they were already drunk, after only two drinks?
Nangong Ruyu looked at the two of them and nodded thoughtfully: "Yu'er seems to understand a little bit, right?"
After taking a look at the two girls in front of him, Ouyang Dongli reached out and picked up Li Ye, sighed softly, got up and walked back.
As he walked, he said: "This is still a lot of meat. You two can drink with me for a while."
Xia Wutong looked up at Ouyang Dongli's back and didn't know how to reply. After a while, he murmured: "Yu'er, don't you want to eat meat? Let's eat a few more pieces while your master is drunk."
Nangong Ruyu looked at her and smiled: "I didn't expect that master would turn into a drunk cat sometimes. Hehe!"
Xia Wutong looked at her, frowned, and whispered, "Don't mention this tonight in front of him tomorrow. Just pretend it never happened. Do you understand?"
Although Nangong Ruyu didn't understand, looking at her serious look, she could only nod her head to express her determination not to say anything.
Nangong Dongli looked at the two girls in front of him, one was the daughter of an old friend and the other was his disciple, and felt extremely reluctant to let go.
However, after half a cup of drunkenness and dreams, he already felt a slight loosening of his realm.
He understood that this was the effect of drunkenness and dreams!
The two girls in front of them didn't react much, which was because they had already drank the wine before.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. I hope you have smooth sailing on the Tianshan Mountains and complete this journey as soon as possible. Maybe your realm can advance further. I really want to see it."
Ouyang Dongli was filled with emotion when he saw the two of them, and drank the last glass of wine while carrying the wine jar.
Xia Wutong, who was too drunk, pulled Nangong Ruyu, said goodbye to Ouyang Dongli, and then staggered inside, muttering to himself as he walked: "Junior brother is really a weirdo!"
Ouyang Dongli looked at the backs of the two people and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
On this last night, no one came to accompany me.
The disciple who could accompany him also made him drunk.
At this time, he missed Xuantian Guan's Qingxu, and only Qingxu could have a drink with him, and even his husband was no match for him.
He looked down at the charcoal fire, shook his head and walked inside.
He was very happy tonight, not only because Li Ye gave him an opportunity to break through the realm, but also because he allowed him to taste the unique wine in the five regions.
Drinking brings joy to one's heart, and drinking brings virtue.
This is Ouyang Dongli's idea.
...
Li Ye, who had been drunk all night, woke up early in the morning either because he was thinking about something or because he was afraid that Ouyang Dongli would leave without saying goodbye.
Turning around, I saw that fortunately, the master was still asleep.
He let out a gentle breath, quietly got up and walked outside.
At the last moment, he wanted to cook a pot of meat porridge to see Ouyang Dongli off.
Xia Wutong and Nangong Ruyu seemed to hear the sound of Li Ye lighting a fire and cooking porridge, and they got up early to help.
"Is Master still here?" Nangong Ruyu, rubbing his eyes, looked at Li Ye and asked.
Li Ye glanced at her and said with a smile: "Go and wash your face first, and then you can eat when Master gets up."
Xia Wutong nodded to him, took Nangong Ruyu's hand and walked out. As long as the person was still there, it would be easy. The two girls had the same idea, they had to say goodbye to Ouyang Dongli in person.
In early spring, it's half past Chen time and the spring sun is just right.
After eating the meat porridge cooked by Li Ye, Ouyang Dongli, who had finished packing, took the three of them outside the cave.
While saying goodbye to the two girls, he told Li Ye: "Send hello to your husband and wife when I see you. I won't say much else. Again, take care of yourself!"
Li Ye nodded, wrapped something in a handkerchief, handed it to Ouyang Dongli, and said, "Master flew over. I think I need to spend money. Here are some gems for you. You are not afraid of thunder."
Ouyang Dongli was stunned, looked at him and said, "Are you afraid that I won't have anything to eat in the past? I can go find old man Qingxu!"
"This is just my disciple's thoughts." Li Ye replied softly.
Nangong Ruyu stared at Ouyang Dongli with a pair of red eyes and said, "Master, take care on your journey. If you have no food, go and find Yu'er's other two masters."
Ouyang Dongli touched her head and smiled: "I will definitely not let them go. The master will go there first. When Yu'er grows up, he will come to see the master. Remember."
Nangong Ruyu said "Oh", then looked at him and said, "Yu'er understands, take care of yourself all the way, Master!" At this time, Nangong Ruyu was about to shed tears.
Seeing that he couldn't stay any longer, Nangong Dongli waved his hand and said, "The mountains are high and the roads are far. See you someday!"
After saying that, he turned around and headed towards Tianshan Mountain without looking back.
Seeing Nangong Dongli turn around and leave decisively, Nangong Ruyu, who could no longer hold back, said "Wow!", hugged Li Ye and cried.
Xia Wutong also cried quietly and her eyes were red.
The help Ouyang Dongli gave him when he was in trouble, and the months of getting along with him, made her regard Ouyang Dongli as her relative in her heart.
Although she had experienced the departure of her father, and later the sudden departure of her mother and two masters, she was still very shocked when she watched Ouyang Dongli leave.
"Yu'er, stop crying, you are already a master of the Golden Core Realm." Helpless Li Ye could only pat her back gently and whisper in her ear.
After crying desperately for a quarter of an hour, Nangong Ruyu's voice gradually became smaller. Xia Wutong pulled her over, took out a silk scarf and wiped her tears, and asked softly in her ear: "Don't cry, your master is also feeling very uncomfortable." ."
Nangong Ruyu nodded, hugged Xia Wutong and sobbed softly.
The spring breeze is passing away, and people are drifting away...
Looking at Nangong Dongli's retreating back, Li Ye sighed quietly.
He raised his hand, placed the iron harp in front of him, and sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave.
Finger caressing, I want to play a song to say goodbye to my master...
There is a saying: We were separated last year, and we are separated again today.
My heart moved, and I burst into tears.
When I flicked it with my fingers, it was not the farewell song "Yangguan Sandie" that I liked to play in the past.
It was a song called "Nine Songs" that Mu Mu and Li Hongxiu played and sang on the mountain behind Xuantian Temple when they left.
...
You don't say anything when you enter and you don't say anything when you leave.
Riding on the returning wind carries the cloud flag.
Happy to have new acquaintances,
Don't be sad because of separation.
Lotus clothes and luxuriant belts come and go suddenly.
...
The sound of the piano follows the wind, and the singing penetrates the clouds.
Ouyang Dongli, who had already left and was gradually moving away, heard the sound of the piano and knew that it was Li Ye playing the piano to see him off. He couldn't help but burst into tears. He had so many thoughts on his mind that he wished he could turn around and go back.
While walking on the mountain path, listen carefully.
After a long while, he murmured to himself: "This song and lyrics convey the pain of separation in life through the melody and singing... This child is so sad about separation, how will he survive the nine calamities in the future?"
Ouyang Dongli couldn't help but frown.
Before he left, he was already worried about Li Ye's future.
Xia Wutong stayed at the entrance of the cave in a daze. She hadn't heard Li Ye play the piano for a long time, and thought to herself: "I didn't expect that not only is my physical practice getting better and better, but my practice of playing music has also surpassed many practitioners in the world."
Nangong Ruyu looked at her and asked, "Sister Yu'er feels so uncomfortable."
Xia Wutong was stunned, looking at the already distant figure, and nodded gently.
"Yu'er, stop crying, you will encounter such things again in the future! You have to learn to face these things, you know."
Xia Wutong looked at her and said softly.
Nangong Ruyu hugged her tightly and said nothing.
Li Ren on Tianshan Mountain has disappeared, and Li Ye outside the cave has fallen into the artistic conception of the music.
From being separated from Xiaoqing and Mu Mu in an unknown place, to the two masters of Xuantian Temple leaving without saying goodbye, to Jiang Ruoyu leaving quietly, to today's departure of Nangong Dongli.
The experiences of these years were like scriptures in a Buddhist hall. Pages were turned by the wind and emerged in his mind one by one...
I think back to the beauty of my trip to Tianshan Mountain at the beginning of that year, my first breakthrough on Tianshan Mountain, my first encounter with Mumu on the grassy slope, and my meeting with Xiaobai in the mountain stream.
Making tea and discussing Taoism with the old ape in the wind and snow, giving lectures to the old wolf on the mountain, slashing Ye Wuya angrily in the Great Buddha Temple, flying arrows on the Fuchun River to drive away the bandits, smiling proudly in the imperial city, beheading Yuan with laughter on the westward journey infant......
Along the way, although it is not earth-shattering, it is also sincere.
At the end of the song, the strings turn sharply, and the sound is not as sad as the forward sound.
When Qin was in a hurry and his love was deep, he closed his eyes and sighed softly.
"After all, this man's will is not as good as God's will."
With a "ding dong" sound, the last note played, and Li Ye opened his eyes.
The spring breeze has passed and there is no trace of anyone left.
...
