C469 He Raised His Glass and Drank Alone
The winter snow flew everywhere, covering the courtyard. Along with the change of the era, the ancient city of Di Ling, which had never collapsed, seemed to have turned white overnight.
The north wind rolled up the white grass. After three days of heavy snow, the entire ancient city of Di Ling was no longer green. It stood in the snow. Focusing his eyes, he looked into the distance, and saw that there was a layer of ice covering the ground, and the trees were decorated with fine jade and jade. The world was clear, and the heavens and the earth turned white. No one knew that the reason why Court Graupel fell today was because of the blooming of the forest flowers last night.
Guxing let the snow fall on his clothes as he walked alone. Outside of Di Ling City. On the shore of the dry river, there was a proud young man dressed in green accompanying Cann Yue. Other than that, there was nothing else. In the vast snowy scenery, his heart was like a frozen river, calm and composed.
Only those who had stepped into the Attack Stopping Stage knew that the word 'stop' was not as easy as they had imagined. Those who had stepped into this realm not only had to stop killing, but also had to stop all kinds of desires. Only by doing so could they advance to the next realm, the Xiantian realm.
The real person was the Innate Dao. However, after they were born, their Innate True Qi became incomplete, which gave them all kinds of desires. When the desires of humans became stronger and stronger, the 'attack' that was triggered would become more and more. Therefore, in order to return to the Innate realm, one had to have a clear mind.
Ever since he stepped into the Attack Stopping Stage, he had gained an ethereal temperament, like an immortal that had never been seen before. As for Cann Yue, she had never unsheathed her sword. If she didn't hide her sword, how could she stop her attacks?
This time, he left for a few days. Thinking that Mr Mu and the others were worried about him, Guxing couldn't help but brush away the snow on his clothes. With a leap of his sword, he immediately left like a swan. Not long after, he had returned to the city.
At this moment, it was the end of the month, and the New Year was about to arrive. Even though the heavy snow was still falling incessantly, the city was still bustling with noise and excitement. Various types of hawkers' shouts rose and fell, mixed with a few lit firecrackers. From time to time, there would be young children who passed by themselves, using a pair of new shoes to step on the layer of snow on the ground until it produced creaking sounds.
The smell of the year was getting stronger and stronger. Even the people in the pugilistic world, who usually did not smile, had smiles on their faces now. Guxing could not help but slow down his pace. Looking at the households who were busy buying new year goods, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
The night was suddenly cold in the spring, and the lights along the shore illuminated his red shirt. He did not have the age to write poems and sell nightwine, and he faced life for another year.
According to the legends, there was a ferocious beast called "New Year" in ancient times. Every New Year's Eve, It would climb up from the bottom of the sea and devour livestock to harm human lives. Therefore, every New Year's Eve. . . It would help the old and the young to escape into the deep mountains. He would avoid the damage of the 'New Year' until one day. . . People accidentally discovered that the 'Nian' beast feared red the most. . . Fire and explosions, so every New Year's Eve, Every family would stick red couplets and set off firecrackers. They would wait until they were old, until the "New Year" beast was no longer visible. However, this custom had been passed down from generation to generation. It had become the grandest festival among the people. "New Year. "
Every New Year was also Guxing's happiest moment. Although there were still only old people accompanying him on that day every year, he still felt happy. Because, even if there was only the joy of welcoming the old and welcoming the new, it was enough to make people forget all their worries. This was the charm of the New Year.
However, this time he was no longer alone. Recalling Mu Han, Chen Che, and Su Xiaoxiao's friendly faces, Guxing could not help feeling touched in his heart. It was these people who made him feel like he had a home again and again after his grandfather died. Thinking about this, he could not help but quicken his pace.
At the same time, the Universal Hall was brightly lit. Mu Han, Chen Che, and Su Xiaoxiao sat around a long table on the ground. The long table was filled with delicious food, making people drool at the sight of it.
An hour later, when Guxing's figure appeared outside the hall, a burst of hearty laughter broke the silence.
"Haha, how is it? Did I say something wrong? Yeh will definitely come back today. "
Mu Han said as he glanced at Chen Che. His face was filled with joy towards victory. He said in high spirits, "Brother Chen, it's you who lost. Punishment wine!"
Chen Che drank all the liquor in his bowl. He stood up and walked towards Guxing. He patted Guxing's shoulder heavily and said, "Stinking brat, you have been gone for so many days. First, punish yourself by drinking three cups!"
Guxing did not hesitate. He walked over and picked up the big bowl and drank three bowls of liquor. Mu Han and Chen Che saw how forthright he was and immediately said, "A large amount. " Guxing looked at Mu Han and Chen Che, who were a little drunk. He looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was sitting quietly by the side, as if asking questions.
Su Xiaoxiao made a sound and covered her mouth as she laughed, "Mr Mu predicted that you would come back today. He specially ordered the servants to set up a feast to welcome you, but you did not appear after a long time. So the two of them drank first and promised that they would not use their skills to make wine. During this period of time, Mr Chen and Mr Mu bet that you would not come back. If you lose, you will have to drink a cup of wine as punishment. Now, it seems that Mr Mu is still better at chess. "
"Haha, that's true. How else can I be your big brother?"
Mu Han was obviously a little drunk as well. His eyes were misty with drunkenness. He trembled as he filled his big bowl, but half of it was spilled outside.
As for Chen Che, he couldn't even speak properly. When he heard this, he gave Mu Han a disdainful look and said, "Stinking brat. Who. . . Who are you calling big brother with? When I learned to drink, you were still wearing. . . Open-crotch pants. "
Then, Guxing was also dragged into the battle by them. The three of them drank until midnight before they had to leave. After that, Chen Che was supported by Su Xiaoxiao and left. Mu Han was also brought back to his room by the maids to rest.
Guxing was the only one who got up and walked out of the hall, drunk. He drank the strong liquor in his arms in one gulp when the snow fell on his face.
He raised his glass and drank the snow. After that, he was lost for another year.
. . .
Time passed in a flash. Another month passed in the blink of an eye. The snow had long stopped. Even the layer of deep snow on the ground had disappeared without a trace. It was as if it had never existed. The joy of the new year gradually faded away on people's faces as time passed. Guxing, Chen Che and the others were still stuck in the palace, cultivating diligently. However, on this day. . . A letter from the Soong Kingdom had completely destroyed the originally calm atmosphere.
In the Qiankun Palace, Mu Han's face was gloomy as he crushed the letter into powder and sneered. "What a good Soong Wuji! How dare he ask for my help? He really thinks he is a supreme figure!"
Without a doubt, the letter was written by Royal Uncle and Soong Wuji of Soong Kingdom. The content of the letter was naturally to ask Mu Han to hand over Chen Che and execute Son of Misfortune. After the matter was completed, there would be a great reward. It seemed like he had obtained accurate information through many means.
"Then should we. . . Pay attention to it?" The Azure Dragon slowly stood up and carefully asked.
"Of course we do. " Mu Han smiled viciously and said, "I will write him a letter to tell him that in the Soong Kingdom, only Emperor Soong is qualified to negotiate with me. As for Soong Wuji, he is not qualified!"
The green dragon immediately responded and left, but was stopped by Mu Han. It turned its head around and heard Mu Han sigh. It said in a deep voice, "We don't need to let Yeh and the others know about this. Otherwise, I'm afraid they will feel pressured. "
The green dragon was startled for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
