Me and my Jianghu Tavern

He has knelt here for three days.

Chuan Liu didn't ask any more questions, he just felt that he came at the wrong time.

Chuan Liu paused, and went forward to take down three incense sticks.

Burning incense, three worships!

He didn't know who the person inside was, but since he came here, he had to perform this ritual.

Because this is the mourning hall!

Zhang Ming stood in the small courtyard outside the mourning hall, and never stepped in. He was just an outsider, and Chuan Liu knew Ling Yunshan so he was qualified to go in.

There are three spiritual tablets on the mourning hall, his father and his mother.

The remaining one is placed in the center, but it is blank.

Chuanliu backed out without saying a word, passed by Zhang Ming and said, "Let's go, it's not the time."

Zhang Ming nodded, and left here with Chuanliu.

Sometimes, one thing can affect the mood of the day, just like now.

This day was originally a happy day, but for some reason, it was not about Zhang Ming's business, but my mood suddenly became depressed.

Chuan Liu was also silent all the time, without speaking.

"Not the time." Chuan Liu sighed.

After leaving the small courtyard, Chuan Liu kept saying these words.

Zhang Ming just looked sideways, it was really not the time.

Ling Yunshan is a very lonely person, he will hide everything in his heart, and he doesn't want others to know, and he just goes to the brothel to get drunk.

But today, Chuanliu encountered such a scene.

Chuan Liu wanted to say something to comfort Ling Yunshan, but he couldn't say it. He was afraid that Ling Yunshan would take it as pity. Lingyunshan never needed pity from others, it has always been like this.

……

The ground in front of Ling Yunshan was covered with incense ash, which would be replaced with new ones every time it was burned out.

So far, the ground is already full of incense ash.

He knelt for a long time.

Don't eat or drink, more than three days.

He remained silent all the time, even if Chuanliu came, he never answered a word.

The only people who could make Ling Yunshan kneel down were the people in the coffin. This day came too fast, even though Ling Yunshan knew it would be like this, but at this moment, he still felt unacceptable.

Chapter 248: The only warmth in this world

Zhang Ming returned to the mansion, and when he entered the door, he saw Xiao Qi rushing up.

"Meow!" Xiao Qi threw herself into Zhang Ming's arms.

Nian An came out from the yard and said with a smile, "The shopkeeper is not here, this little guy is making a fuss."

Xiao Qi lay in Zhang Ming's arms and raised her head to look at Zhang Ming cautiously.

He ran out to play by himself while it was sleeping, and came back after playing like this.

"Really?" Zhang Ming smiled and patted Xiao Qi's head.

Xiaoqi scratched his beard and lay comfortably in Zhang Ming's arms. He thought Zhang Ming didn't want him anymore, but fortunately he came back.

Zhang Ming looked at Nian An and asked, "Are you still resting?"

"Go out and do something." Nian An said softly.

"It's so late, you still go out to do errands?"

"It's urgent."

"All right." Seeing this, Zhang Ming didn't ask any more questions.

Monk Nian'an had his own affairs, so Zhang Ming didn't bother to follow him. He was also tired today.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Ming carried Xiao Qi into the room.

Monk Nian'an walked out of the mansion gate, tiptoeing lightly, his body was as light as a swallow, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

The matter in the Qingping Palace is indeed over, but the final impact is huge.

The world called Xiao Qian a benevolent monarch, but those dozens of heads of second-rate sects all died in the Dacheng Palace, and their bodies were thrown away somewhere.

Hong Qingyu, Bai Beiqiu, Xuan Bei, Yin Li, and Su Chuyao, these five people, as the guides for this matter, some of them got their wish, but some of them never left the Dachen Palace.

Monk Nian'an is going to meet someone, who is considered a junior.

.........

Nian An came here.

Three days ago, a white cloth was hung here.

Nian An stepped forward, walked past the kneeling man, and came to the coffin.

The person lying in the coffin was brought back by Nian An.

Such a person should not stay in that deep palace, but should stay in the world.

"What do you think?" Nian An asked.

Ling Yunshan, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head, and the incense in his hand was about to burn out.

Nian An put down the burning incense stick in his hand, and said softly: "Your master asked me to tell the benefactor that if he really didn't come out alive, the benefactor should not avenge him. The benefactor didn't take care of him when he was young, and it was just a name. It is nothing more than my master, and there is no need for a benefactor to repay it."

Nian An turned around and stood in front of Ling Yunshan, and said, "Furthermore, the benefactor is not from the rivers and lakes, so it's best not to get involved in these things."

It's not that Nian An is nosy, it's just that he was entrusted by others and must be completed after all.

Ling Yunshan knows some martial arts, but they are all used for thieves. To put it bluntly, he is just a petty thief.

And his master is Thief Saint Hong Qingyu.

Ling Yunshan is also Hong Qingyu's only apprentice. Although this apprentice is very incompetent, he doesn't enter the world and plays games in the world, but in the end Hong Qingyu passed on all his martial arts to Ling Yunshan.

Nian An looked down at him, waiting for Ling Yunshan's answer.

The incense stick in Ling Yunshan's hand was lit bit by bit, and after a few moments, it finally burned out.

72 sticks of incense, each of which has been burned for half an hour.

Ling Yunshan got up and said indifferently, "Thank you."

Nian'an looked at it for a long time, but in the end he only said one sentence, "That's all."

"Little master has said enough." Ling Yunshan said softly.

"But the donor didn't listen at all."

"I heard it, but I also forgot."

"The benefactor is trying to make it difficult for the monk." Nian An clasped his hands together and sighed.

Ling Yunshan said: "This is my choice, it has nothing to do with the little master."

Monk Nian'an paused for a long time, he bled for five steps in a fit of rage, he would always be an impulsive person with no great ability, but he wanted to risk his life for his obsession.

After all, the word obsession has harmed many people.

Hong Qingyu died under Kong Yue's sword because of the obsession in his heart, but now another person will die because of him.

Nian'an said: "The venerable and the little monk said that the strangest thing in this world is the human heart. Knowing that there is no way ahead, you still want to smash it head-on, and you don't know how to look back."

Ling Yunshan shook his head and said, "Little master, I don't practice Buddhism, so I don't understand what you say."

"If the benefactor understood, he wouldn't make such a choice." Nian An said, Nian An took a step, left the mourning hall and turned back: "That's all I said."

Ling Yunshan looked at the leaving figure, and was silent for a long time.

.........

There is an inn.

At this time, there were no customers in the tavern, and it was time to close the tavern.

There was a candle standing on the counter, and shopkeeper Zhu calculated the money earned today.

However, at this moment, someone entered the inn.

"The door is closed, come back tomorrow for a drink." Shopkeeper Zhu didn't even lift his head.

Ling Yunshan hugged a wine jar and said, "I'm here to find Chuanliu."

Shopkeeper Zhu paused for a moment, and seeing that it was Ling Yunshan, he smiled and said, "So it's Mr. Ling, he's upstairs, Mr. Ling just go up."

Ling Yunshan nodded, then went upstairs.

Standing in front of the window sill, Chuanliu saw Lingyunshan and saw him holding a wine jar in his arms.

Chuan Liu was stunned for a long time, then asked softly, "Are you done?"

"En." Ling Yunshan nodded and said, after finishing speaking, Ling Yunshan put the wine jar on the table.

"What does this mean?" Chuan Liu looked at the wine jar and asked.

This jar of wine is the good wine he told Zhang Ming about before, and Lingyun Mountain has hidden it for many years.

What Chuanliu didn't know was that Lingyunshan's master gave him this jar of wine, which was why Lingyunshan kept it hidden.

"Didn't you always think about it, now I'm sending you off." Ling Yunshan said.

Chuan Liu asked, "Why are you willing to give it to me?"

"There's no need to keep it." Ling Yunshan said.

Chuanliu walked up to Lingyun Mountain. Today's Lingyun Mountain is very different. If it was normal, Lingyun Mountain would always look like a fool, and would joke with him from time to time, but today Lingyun Mountain has always looked like this, never before. Had a laugh.

"What are you going to do?" Chuan Liu stared at Ling Yunshan and asked.

Ling Yunshan didn't answer Chuanliu's words, but just said: "The wine is left, there is nothing else, I will go first."

"Where are you going? Hello!"

Chuan Liu chased after him, but he couldn't find Ling Yunshan after leaving the tavern.

Ling Yunshan's lightness kung fu was passed down from the thief saint Hong Qingyu, and even the stream of masters couldn't catch up with him.

Chuanliu stood at the door of the inn, frowning tightly. Only then did he realize that the matter was not simple.

"What's the use of me asking for wine!!" Chuan Liu clenched his fists.

Ling Yunshan is an idiot, even if he takes care of everything by himself, why should he recognize him as a friend in this case?

.........

Everyone in Chang'an City thought he was a romantic young man, but who knew that he went to a brothel just to find someone who could talk to him.

I have been alone since I was a child.

No one was with him, and the only thing was that yard, until many years later, he met a master, and that was the first time he felt the care from others.

Master loves him very much, although he is also very incompetent.

But he is the only person in this world who can give him warmth.

Although he only knows how to play around, the master never blamed him and taught him all martial arts.

Ling Yunshan never forgot.

Never forget, that is all the warmth in this world.

Chapter 249: Just Entering the Rivers and Lakes

Zhang Ming hugged Xiao Qi and went out. If Xiao Qi hadn't been pestering him, he would have planned to go out alone.
