drunk three lives

The moonlight shines on the room through the window lattice, and the dead branches in the yard are showing their teeth and claws.Pei Xun faintly heard the breathing of wild beasts. They hid in the dark and showed their fangs, their eyes glowing with fluorescent green light, and they slowly approached him.A paw was pressed against his chest, and the sound of breathing hit his face. The beast revealed its true colors under the moonlight. It was a wolf that had been covered in black all along. Bite at him with a big mouth.

Pei Xun was woken up suddenly, sat up and breathed heavily, sighed, picked up the cloak and walked out of the room.The sound of the door opening alarmed the boy, who stepped forward to salute and said, "Master."

Pei Xun waved his hand and said, "Tell them that they don't need to wait tonight and go to sleep, and you too."

The boy bent over and said, "Yes." He stepped back.

Now that the cold air is getting strong, Pei Xun shivered, thinking of the ancient saying that "the court is like stagnant water and the sky is bright, the water is full of algae and midges, covered with shadows of bamboo and cypress", now it is really like being soaked in cold water, but He didn't have the "joy" of stepping on the moon with his friends, but only the dullness of drowning.His body gradually became numb. Pei Xun regained his senses and prepared to return to the room. Just as he turned around, a gust of wind blew past. Pei Xun wrapped himself tightly and walked two steps quickly. When he took the third step, the wind stopped, and he heard light breathing. He thought it was a hallucination, but after taking the fourth step, he heard the sound of breathing intensified, and then disappeared invisible.Not an illusion!Pei Xun turned around with a stiff neck, the green eyes of the dream appeared in the small courtyard, he wanted to shout, but something stopped him, his feet seemed to be stuck in the mud, the more he moved, the faster he sank, He had no choice but to firmly fix it on the ground, and he could only watch the wolf strolling out of the darkness and stare at him under the moonlight.Pei Xun trembled, the same as that time, the black wolf, is it karma?Pei Xun closed his eyes.

The wolf didn't rush forward as expected. Pei Xun opened his eyes and saw the wolf limping out with his back on his back. He also noticed the blood on the ground, presumably he was injured and ran into the courtyard by mistake.Pei Xun heaved a sigh of relief, only to realize that he was soaked all over. He tried to pull out his feet, and just as he took a step, he fell down in darkness.

Pei Xun came to a cave in his dream. There were bursts of shouts from the depths of the cave. The sound was heartbreaking. Pei Xun wanted to escape, but he walked forward against the master's will.no, stop.Pei Xun yelled loudly, but found that he couldn't make a sound. The yelling gradually became smaller and turned into sobbing. He finally saw the source of the sound, which was himself when he was a child.Pei Xun saw that little Pei Xun was bitten and dragged by the wolf and walked to the depths. His outstretched hand pierced through himself covered in blood, and he couldn't save himself.His body started to turn cold, he prayed for someone to save him, father and mother for help, every prayer turned into tears, wolf and little Pei Xun fell into darkness, Pei Xun knelt down and buried his face in his palms.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Xun woke up from the nightmare. When he opened his eyes, he saw the wolf's green eyes. He couldn't help but suspect that he was still in a dream, numbly looking at the moonlight at night through them.Hei Lang backed away from him, Pei Xun felt a chill, and realized that this was not a dream, so he quickly got up and took two steps back.The wolf looked at him with its head tilted, and then limped away again.

Pei Xun's face was hidden in the darkness so he couldn't see his expression clearly, and he said in an uncertain tone, "Are you saving me?"

The wolf stopped for a moment, and then walked on.

"You're injured, you can't go far like this. Come here, let me bandage you."

The wolf turned his head to look at him, his eyes were somewhat familiar.Pei Xun suppressed his fear and stood at the door pretending to be calm. The wolf tentatively took two steps forward, as if checking Pei Xun's attitude, before striding into the house.

Pei Xun lit up the candle, and seeing the wolf suddenly jumped onto the table, Pei Xun couldn't help shaking his hands, but quickly regained his composure, and took medicine to check its injuries.Pei Xun couldn't help but gasped, only to see a knife wound cut across the left shoulder blade, the bone was visible deep.Pei Xun asked, "Is this a human injury? Did someone enter your territory?"

The wolf moved its ears but there was no sound.Pei Xun picked up a jar of wine and said: "This is medicinal wine. Use this to heal your wound faster, but it will hurt a little." Pei Xun hesitated and continued: "Master said that all things have spirits, you seem to be You can understand me, you helped me, I don't like to owe favors, so I won't hurt you, I hope you don't bite me to death." The wolf moved its right paw, seeming very impatient.Pei Xun tried his best to control it, but his hands were still shaking. He first sprinkled a little on it tentatively, and poured the whole bottle of wine on it after seeing that the wolf didn't respond. The whole room was filled with the aroma of wine for a while.Pei Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the best medicinal wine, I wanted to keep it for myself to drink." The next bandaging went much smoother, and the wolf remained as motionless as a statue from beginning to end.

Pei Xun held his wine glass and stood in a daze by the window on the second floor. That night after he helped the wolf bandage its wound, it left. After cleaning up all the traces, he fell asleep.A few days later, there was a jug of wine in my room, but no one knew about it after asking, and I didn't see anyone coming.Pei Xun opened it and smelled it, the aroma of the wine came to his face, it was refreshing, and he would be drunk as soon as he smelled it, it is definitely a good old wine.

"Pei Xun?" Tao Shi put his hands on his body, Pei Xun came back to his senses, apologized, and the two sat down together.

"What's wrong with you? You look out of your mind."

Pei Xun rubbed his temples and said, "I'm just thinking about something. Let's not talk about it, when are you leaving?"

The Tao family has been generals for generations, and every generation has people who sacrificed their lives for the country, and this generation is no exception.Tao Shi is going to the military camp this time to practice before he can lead troops to fight in the future.

Tao Shi said, "The eighth day of next month."

Pei Xun was surprised: "So urgent?"

"I asked for it myself. I want to go earlier, make contributions and show off to you."

Pei Xundao: "That's what you said, I don't want a general shrouded in horse leather."

Tao Shi put down the wine glass he picked up, looked at Pei Xun and said seriously, "Pei Xun, would you be sad if I was really shrouded in horse leather?"

There was a moment of silence: "Why do you ask that?"

Tao Shi changed his smiling face and said, "It's nothing, I just thought about the picture of you crying bitterly."

Pei Xun didn't speak, Tao Shi's laughter gradually dropped, and the rest of the time became dull, so the two said goodbye early.

"Pei Xun."

"Ok?"

"Don't see me off when I'm leaving, I want to leave with peace of mind."

Before Pei Xun opened his mouth, Tao Shi left resolutely, leaving only a back, hidden in the crowd.

Pei Xun didn't want to go back to the mansion, so he wandered aimlessly. Tao Shi was right, he wouldn't be sad for him for too long, no one would care if the feelings between people are true or not, as long as it looks real alright.No matter how indifferent their parents are in private, they are always affectionate in front of others. They have not even been deceived for so many years, let alone outsiders.They are still a good story of a golden boy and a jade girl, and they are still an enviable couple. It is better to talk about their relationship, at least they will not be so disappointed.

Unknowingly came to Sishe Temple, Pei Xun thought, since we are here, why not go in and have a look.

Pei Xun just entered the Taoist temple with a look-and-see mentality, but he didn't expect that the master was really in the Taoist temple.Sui Sui Taoist is full of gorgeous hair, and his beard is as white as snow blowing up in the wind, the wind of the Immortal Bone Dao is nothing more than this.The old man looks to be over a hundred years old but has a strong body. No one doubts that he can live forever.

The Taoist Sui only took one look at him and was shocked: "Tu'er met a strange person."

Pei Xun didn't expect him to be so cunning, and nodded honestly: "Yes, but only for a moment."

Sui Sui Taoist let out a long sigh and said, "Sure enough, it's still here. When I rescued you from the wolf's lair and took the wolf essence to revive you, I knew that this disaster would happen, but I didn't want to come so soon."

Pei Xun said: "Master, who is that person?"

"It is the person who is intertwined with your fate."

"What do you mean?"

"He is the doom that you cannot escape. If you handle it well, you can spend this life safely. As for who he is, I don't know. But don't worry, I put a spell on you, and they won't notice your secret .”

Pei Xun smiled wryly, "Master, why bothered to save me?"

"Since there is a destiny to pass by, how can we not save him."

The Taoist followed him and continued: "For your doom, I let you get along with rabbits first, then puppies, big dogs, and finally wolf cubs, adult wolves, you still blame me for being cruel, and now you have overcome your fear step by step. Don’t let your efforts fall by the wayside, as a teacher, I will help you through this calamity.”

Pei Xun bowed his head and said, "I know that Master is good for me, so how dare I have any resentment."

"What about your parents? Still can't let go? Xun'er, let go to let go."

Pei Xun was silent for a long time, and said: "There is nothing, what to let go? Master is a Taoist, how can you talk about Buddhist Zen principles."

Sui Sui Taoist said: "The day before yesterday, I had a discussion with a Buddhist master, and I didn't realize that I learned something. In my opinion, it is only reasonable to divide into any school."

Pei Xun cupped his hands and said, "Your apprentice has been taught."
