I drank a few more glasses of wine and slept past midnight.
After washing up and having breakfast, Li Yun pulled Dongfang Yu'er and gently knocked on the wooden door of the inn's courtyard.
There was a commotion but no one answered the door. The wooden door opened with a slight push.
The two of them entered the slightly deserted living room one after another, but there was no sign of Li Xiuyuan and Long Hongchen.
Moving forward, Dongfang Yu'er saw Hu Xuan pressing on the table. She was so surprised that she couldn't help but read aloud.
Whoever abandons me will not retain yesterday’s day;
Those who disturb my mind will have many worries today.
The long winds send autumn geese flying thousands of miles away, and you can enjoy this high-rise building.
...
There was a cinnabar imprint of Immortal Luoxia on the signature. Looking at Dongfang Yu'er, she couldn't help but sit down in a daze, speechless for a moment.
Li Yun stepped forward and murmured a few words:
Cut off the water with a knife and the water will flow more. Raise a cup to relieve sorrow and sorrow.
Life is unsatisfactory in this world, and the Ming Dynasty will be ruined.
Looking at the sword intent that appeared on the paper, as if it was about to cut through the void, he was shocked and said: "What does this mean? Why can I see that there is water and fire between these words?"
What Dongfang Yu'er saw was the hint of injustice between the lines, but what Li Yun saw was the sword energy that vowed to cut through the void.
Although Li Xiuyuan is not yet able to blend the two sword energies of water and fire, two different sword energies are revealed between the lines.
"The one who abandoned me...does he dislike me and my sister for leaving him?
Dongfang Yu'er read it carefully and felt that her heart was filled with panic, and she couldn't help but said quietly.
But Li Yun was full of love, looked at her and said with a smile: "It's not appropriate to leave it to you. If you want to see this sword intention in the future, just go to my place. I won't let anyone in your family misunderstand it."
It was not until this moment that Li Yun carefully savored the meaning of this word.
If it weren't for Dongfang Yu'er being sad, she would have burst into laughter long ago.
After knowing Li Xiuyuan for so many years, she had never thought about having a sword spirit with this guy. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was because of Dongfang Yuer's thoughts that she was able to fulfill her wish.
Dongfang Yu'er looked at her and sighed, and said, "This guy, do you think he has given up? Or has he not given up?"
Li Yun was stunned and blurted out: "Can't let go? So what?"
...
The two women in the inn had their own thoughts, but Li Xiuyuan and Long Hongchen were galloping across the wasteland.
In front of us is Taiping Town.
After passing Taiping Town, not far ahead is Zhuxian Town. The journey was too long, so Li Xiuyuan decided to rest for the night in Taiping Town.
"Brother, will those two sisters come here yesterday?" Seeing the majestic city from a distance, Long Hongchen suddenly thought of Li Yun who invited him to a big dinner.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the sky and smiled: "I don't know, they shouldn't be that fast, right?"
Long Hongchen thought for a moment and said, "Brother, are we going to stay here today?"
Li Xiuyuan replied: "Stay one night and move on tomorrow."
…
Outside Taiping City, Long Hongchen thought about his brother's description of the outside world and the days after leaving the Demon, and a flower gradually bloomed on his face.
The two led the wildebeest to verify their identities and entered Taiping Town. Because the demon army had evacuated, the seven towns were basically undefended because there was no defense.
There is a large formation outside the city, and the monsters in the wasteland are not bold enough to attack the city.
Walking on the slightly deserted streets, Li Xiuyuan thought that there were still some days before the beginning of autumn, and the monks who wanted to go out for adventure were probably still on their way back.
After finding an inn to stay at, Long Hongchen was thinking about what Li Yun treated him to yesterday.
Li Xiuyuan didn't care. In his opinion, apart from eating, he would spend the next few days hiding in the inn and watching his brother practice swordplay.
After suffering for so many years, he also wanted to relax and take a rest.
After leaving the inn, they headed east and found a restaurant in Deyuelou. The two of them walked in. It was still early.
There is a flower hall at the entrance of Deyue Building. The building is three rooms high and half of it is suspended in the air. You can just see the flower hall on the first floor downstairs. There is a blood-red blanket at the entrance, which reminds Li Hongyuan of looking for a touch of blood red in the Crescent Valley.
The waiter who came out to greet the guests took them to a seat by the window on the second floor. He said that a distinguished guest on the first floor had reserved half of the space today, so the flower hall on this floor was vacated.
Sitting by the window, Li Xiuyuan subconsciously looked at the street outside the door. Sure enough, there was a waiter standing outside waiting for customers.
"Please serve me the specialty dishes in your building for two people. No wine required!"
While Li Xiuyuan asked Long Hongchen to sit down, he reached out to pick up the herbal tea brought by the waiter and poured it into the cup.
The clerk knew that the monks who came to Shura battlefield would not be short of money. Although there were only two teenagers in front of him, Li Xiuyuan gave him a calm and majestic feeling.
He nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Please wait a moment, the food may be served a little slower today."
Li Xiuyuan waved and smiled: "We are not in a hurry."
Long Hongchen was not polite and reached out to grab the melon seeds on the table. With his brother here, he didn't have to worry about these things.
Looking at the scenery from the building, Li Xiuyuan's mind returned to the small courtyard of Baiyuncheng Inn.
His relationship with Dongfang Yu'er was related to Li Hongxiu, and the jade pendant he got from selling poems. No matter how clever he was, he never thought that the two would meet again on the Shura battlefield many years later.
And the final fate may be the poem Li Yun wanted yesterday.
The words are as expected, everything in the past is gone with the wind, and what he has to face is the wind and rain on the road to the future.
Long Hongchen sat aside and ate melon seeds quietly. To him, compared with the life before him, it felt like heaven and earth.
Without Xiao Longer, he couldn't make trouble alone, which was why Li Xiuyuan liked him.
Although it is difficult to manage, he will not cause trouble casually.
The two brothers sat quietly drinking tea and waiting for the waiter to serve the food, but the flower hall downstairs gradually became lively.
As the host of today's banquet, he welcomed the guests into the hall with a burst of laughter.
As people outside the building crowded in, the flower hall suddenly became lively. The big shots were all happy because the Shura battlefield was coming to an end.
After struggling on the verge of death for eight years, I can finally go home in the blink of an eye.
Amidst the sound of silk and bamboo, all kinds of exquisite tea and snacks have been put on the table. Whether it is the waiters in the building or the guests who come to the banquet, everyone has a smile on their face.
The host sat in a distinguished position, looked at the group of monks and said with a smile: "Everyone has been suffering for so many years, and only today dare to enjoy it so well. When we go back, we will raise a toast together to celebrate."
Although today's banquet is not as luxurious as the outside world, everyone knows that it is not easy to live and enjoy the present moment.
Everyone is looking forward to the coming of the Beginning of Autumn, redeeming their military merits and going home early.
The host looked at the food and wine served by the waiters in the building and said with a smile: "Everyone, please relax and enjoy yourself here before autumn arrives."
Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting upstairs, gradually tightened his brows when he heard the voice of the owner downstairs.
If Nangong Ruyu were sitting here, he would have discovered that the host of today's banquet was the guy who ambushed and plotted against her on Tianyao Mountain in the Valley of the Dead that year.
Zhuge Xiongfeng took advantage of the daylight to escape in a hurry after breaking an arm.
Most of the guests here today, monks, have been on the Shura battlefield, and there are some generals who are guarding the generals. They were also responsible for guarding the city in the four towns before.
There were not many guests present today. Li Xiuyuan glanced at everyone at once, but there were only about twenty people and a few tables opened by his entourage, which made the building seem very lively.
As soon as the food and wine were served, the banquet started in the building, and the flower hall was no longer dull. The big shots talked about the endless romance in the past, and the entourage talked about some casual jokes, such as who was drunk on the roadside last night, etc.
Li Xiuyuan flicked his sleeves to block out the noise downstairs.
Right now, he was standing in front of Zhuge Xiongfeng, and he might not be able to recognize himself.
One more thing is worse than one less thing. Since this guy didn't die that day and it was just Zhuge Xiongfeng who didn't come to trouble him, he wouldn't worry about what happened that day.
Long Hongchen held the cup and took a sip of wine. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile, "Brother, it's a little more lively here than we were in Baiyun City."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and laughed, and said: "The world outside is more lively. When Xiao Long'er comes back, my brother will take him for a walk in the wilderness."
After all, this is the Shura battlefield, and there is a big gap compared with the outside world.
How could Long Hongchen know so much? In his memory, he had lost the joy of childhood since his mother left, and then his father also died.
For him in the whole world, the best day is as long as he is not hungry every day.
Just like Goudan in the dog fighting town outside Tianluo City, he waits outside the bun shop every day, just hoping that a kind person will give him a fragrant fresh meat bun.
Li Xiuyuan gave him a piece of green vegetables and placed it beside the bowl. He said calmly: "You should eat more vegetables in the future. You can't always eat meat."
When Long Hongchen heard this, he immediately said with a bitter face: "Brother, Long Hongchen wants to eat meat!"
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Then you also need to eat some vegetarian dishes, and the same goes for your sister Xiao Long'er."
After struggling to no avail, Long Hongchen had no choice but to eat the green vegetables in the bowl. Because even his sister wanted to eat, how could he dare to fight against his brother?
Upstairs, the two brothers were discussing whether Long Hongchen should eat vegetarian dishes. Downstairs, the atmosphere was already in full swing, and they were chatting over glasses of wine until they were in high spirits.
The atmosphere gradually reached Li Xiuyuan's ears.
Zhuge Xiongfeng laughed and scolded: "I can't serve you well in the Shura battlefield. To be honest with you, when we return to Tianyu City, I will give you all the most famous women in Jade Street and you can invite them over..." ....”
Everyone was startled, thinking that this was a big deal, not in terms of how many spiritual stones it cost, but in Jade Street in Tianyu City, a place only monks from the upper world could go.
In addition to the monks and monks who come here from the upper realm, the monks who come here from other heavenly realms can only listen to the excitement.
"Young Master is so generous. After I return to Tianyu City, we can have a good drink and talk!" A monk responded.
"After all these years, thinking about the brothers who have stayed here forever... we can't treat ourselves badly!"
Zhuge Xiongfeng smiled slightly and said: "Well said, many of our brothers will stay on the Shura battlefield forever. Even if we cannot avenge them, we must always remember them."
After saying this, he raised the wine glass in his hand and said loudly: "Come on, drink this glass!"
Taking advantage of his uncle Zhuge Yuanying's reputation in the Shura battlefield, he has always been a person who likes to be in the limelight, whether in the Shura battlefield or in the Fengyue Field in Tianyu City!
Everyone didn't care, they were drunk now, let alone a group of monks who had just escaped from death on the Shura battlefield?
At this time, Li Xiuyuan was bringing half a glass of wine to his mouth, but he couldn't help but be startled when he heard Zhuge Xiongfeng's words.
I thought to myself, those monks who stayed in the Valley of the Dead and on the Heavenly Demon Mountain, never to go back, weren't you the one who ordered them to harm people?
Is it the tradition of the Zhuge family in Tianyu City to blame someone else for committing an evil act?
He sighed, thinking that today was really disappointing. After finally taking Long Hongchen out for a trip, he unexpectedly met this hateful guy.
Long Hongchen didn't understand what the monk downstairs was saying. He just raised his head and looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Brother, can you take away what you can't finish?"
