Kaifeng Bistro

Shuanglian recounted her life experience, and then she said to Tan Zhifeng: "Tan shopkeeper, I just thought about it, I... I planned to go to the northwest at the beginning, it was indeed a bit too reckless. Not to mention Can I get there, even if I go, if a war really breaks out, Ming Jing...would he...be tired of me instead?"

"Shopkeeper Tan," she said, bowing to Tan Zhifeng again: "You and Lord Bai are the most kind people, you are leaving, as for where you are going, maybe that is not my question, but I am willing to stay and help you take care of this tavern with this sister-in-law, if this sister-in-law does not dislike me..."

Zhou Yanjing's wife had looked at Shuanglian with admiration from just now, and when she heard what Shuanglian said, she quickly said, "How could I despise you...I was just looking for a smart child like you to help me Woolen cloth……"

At this time, the sound of horseshoes sounded outside again, Tan Zhifeng and the others knew that this time it was Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who came.Sure enough, Zhan Zhao's voice soon came from outside: "Zhifeng, Brother Xu Xian, you are all ready, let's go!"

Tan Zhifeng hurriedly explained a few words to the two women at the end, and Xu Gan walked to the next door, picked up Ling'er who was sleeping soundly, put on her clothes, and said to Chen Qing who was sitting there in a daze, "Do you want to go together?"

Chen Qing didn't hesitate this time, he carried his luggage and walked out behind Xu Gan, when he passed by Tan Zhifeng, he stopped and said, "Zhifeng, will we meet again in the northwest?"

Tan Zhifeng nodded and said to him, "Zijin, take care all the way."

Chen Qing said "um", and walked quickly to the door, while Shuang Lian looked at Tan Zhifeng hesitantly and said, "Shopkeeper Tan, you... when are you coming back?"

"I don't know." Tan Zhifeng smiled at her: "But don't worry, if I see Ming Jing, I will ask him to write to you. When the war eases, if possible, I will tell him that you are here." Wait for him, he will definitely find a chance to come back to visit you."

"Thank you very much..." Shuanglian looked at Tan Zhifeng fixedly, as if she was talking to him, but also seemed to be talking to herself: "I...I will wait forever..."

Tan Zhifeng was about to comfort her a few more words, when Yi Yi said behind him: "Let's go."

Tan Zhifeng could only turn around and walk towards those carriages. Xu Gan stood beside one of the carriages and said to the people inside: "Who knows how to drive, come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in shackles came out of the carriage. When the man saw Xu Gan, a look of surprise and gratitude appeared on his face: "You..."

Xu Gan raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and the man closed his mouth, standing aside in fear and waiting.Xu Gan stared at the shackles on his hands for a while, then drew out his Kunwu sword with a clang, cut off the chains connecting his hands, and said to him, "Drive this car and follow me. Be careful when going out of town."

The man turned his stiff neck, nodded and said "yes", then he skillfully jumped into the carriage and waited behind Xu Gan's carriage.Tan Zhifeng watched Xu Gan let Chen Qing and Changshang get into the car, and then hugged Ling'er up. Then, Xu Gan turned his head, looked in Tan Zhifeng's direction, pressed his heart lightly, jumped into the car, and headed towards the city. The door drives away.

Tan Zhifeng stood in the carriage feeling lost, only to hear Zhan Zhao who was driving the car say to him: "Zhifeng, get in the car, we should go too." He looked up, and the two cars were about to drive out of the alley. He hurriedly climbed into the carriage, and as soon as he sat firmly, the carriage rumbled to the outside of Wheatstraw Lane.

Bai Yutang sat in front of the carriage, humming softly: "The other millet is lili, the seedlings of the other millet..." Zhan Zhao drove the car, and sang along with him in a low voice: "The walking is slow, the center is shaking..."

Tan Zhifeng lifted the car curtain a little and looked out, only to see that the woods outside the city had been left behind by them, and there were endless wheat fields on both sides.He looked back again, the majestic and tall Kaifeng city gate and the continuous city wall had long since disappeared at the end of the road, and then looked at his feet, where the big basket from when he came was still there, Zhuo Zhuo and Yi Yi were gone, only Wen Hui was there. Sitting opposite him, he also admired the dark field outside the car with the same interest as him.

"Don't look." Tan Zhifeng was looking in another direction, when Wen Hui suddenly lowered the curtain and said, "Xu Gan took another path, you have already lost sight of them."

Tan Zhifeng sighed softly: "I know."

"Don't be afraid." Wen Hui raised his hand and patted Tan Zhifeng's hand on his lap, comforting him with the same words: "You two will meet again."

Tan Zhifeng looked at Wen Hui. He hadn't quite figured out Wen Hui's origin, but he had an inexplicable feeling of closeness and familiarity with him.Maybe it's because he and Ying Long have known each other for thousands of years, maybe it's because he tried his best to help them these few times, maybe it's because when he first met him, he said "Don't come Let's talk about the sea, no matter what, with Wen Hui on the road this time, he feels much more at ease in his heart.

"You seem to be very interested in me." Seeing that Tan Zhifeng's gaze had been on his face, Wen Hui got up and moved forward, staring at Tan Zhifeng and saying, "Do you want to know how Ying Long and I met?" ?”

"I...I think I know a little bit." Tan Zhifeng remembered that Yiyi told them "Shan Hai Jing" or some fragments of ancient books: "You and Ying Long... together helped the Yellow Emperor put down the rebellion, but since then, you If you exhaust your divine power, you will never be able to return to the heavens..."

"Yes..." Wen Hui listened, leaned back again, and sighed: "I really never thought about it, it has been so many years in a blink of an eye. I never thought that now, Ying Long and I will come out again Fighting, Zhifeng, you said the reincarnation of heaven, is that the case?"

Tan Zhifeng shook his head: "Reincarnation? But I always feel that this time, it should be different from any previous time."

"Of course." Wen Hui sat up straight again: "Our strength has been weakened, but his strength is getting stronger and stronger. Zhifeng, no one kills just for the sake of killing. At the beginning of that war, we We all felt that we were on the right side. But in fact, we were still punished.”

"And now?" He continued: "We go to the northwest, and we will inevitably have to fight again. Do you think we are here to kill people, or to save people?"

"If it is possible not to kill people, of course it would be the best." Tan Zhifeng said in a low voice, "But that may be impossible."

"A lot of people have died." Wen Hui said: "Thousands of people in Sanchuankou, more than ten thousand Song soldiers died in Haoshuichuan this time, but Zhifeng, this time, I didn't feel the souls of those dead soldiers come back. Come to my hometown."

Tan Zhifeng was silent. He knew what Wen Hui meant. If they died, their souls should return to their hometown, but if they were killed by those invincible "cavalrymen" who suddenly appeared in the legendary Xixia, then their souls , will be trapped in their bodies, like the servant of the Dali Temple he saw killed by A Yuan, like Zhou Yanjing—if Xu Gan didn’t use the Kunwu sword to kill Zhou Yanjing, then Zhou Yanjing would also become Losing consciousness, he was dominated by the black air in his body, becoming a moving, fearless killing tool.

"Let's not talk about it." Wen Hui suddenly smiled again, and said to Tan Zhifeng: "There are some things that we can't understand until we go to the northwest, and it doesn't help to think about them now. Do you want to hear about how I picked up me?" This apprentice's?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuo Zhuo and Yi Yi both appeared, Zhuo Zhuo sat next to Wen Hui, and Yi Yi sat on Tan Zhifeng's side.Zhuo Zhuo urged Wen Hui, "Master, tell me, I've always wanted to know."

"Master, I can hear you." Bai Yutang, who was sitting in front of the carriage, interjected, "But it's okay if you say it. To be honest, I really want to know how I survived..."

Tan Zhifeng obviously felt that the speed of the carriage slowed down. He heard a noise in front of the carriage, as if Zhan Zhao had also sat down, waiting nervously for Wen Hui to start talking about the past.Wen Hui stopped talking, and took out a few stones from his sleeves that were exactly the same as the black jade locust stones that Bai Yutang used as hidden weapons, and handed them to Tan Zhifeng and the others to play with.Tan Zhifeng looked at it for a while, and said to Wen Hui: "There is aura of heaven and earth in this stone, it must have been practicing with you for many years, right?"

"I don't have that great ability." Wen Hui smiled and said, "This is the gravel scattered by the Chishui River after Nuwa repaired the sky. Only by relying on these stones with spiritual power can I slowly recover my original strength, transform into form, and return to the human world when I feel that danger is happening..."

"I have always envied Ying Long. Although he was also exiled and he has to endure the pain of reincarnation, you will always be with him, Zhifeng." Wen Hui continued: "So when I come to the world again, I also hope to find someone like you. You are so obedient and obedient, the one who will be my companion in the future."

There was a burst of laughter from outside the carriage: "Master, I'm so sorry, I seem to have let you down."

"Yeah, I'm so disappointed." Wen Hui smiled and said, "However, I don't regret saving you at all. You were going to die at that time. No, your soul has already left your body, and your body is also incomplete, but Your soul is very similar to Zhifeng's, very clear and clean, I think it's a pity, so...so I spent seven to seven 49 days to reshape your body with my feathers, and then used this The divine stone full of spiritual power gathers your soul, but after you woke up, you said, 'I'm going to settle accounts with Zhan Zhao', and then you left..."

After a long while of silence inside and outside the carriage, Zhan Zhao said from outside the carriage, "Master, thank you for saving Yutang. From now on, I will definitely, definitely find a way to repay you..."

"Oh, okay, okay, I don't want you two to repay me." Wen Hui spread his hands helplessly: "Probably I'm the one who committed Gu Luan's life! But it's better to have an apprentice than nothing. Later , I don’t want to go back to Tianqing Temple anymore, I want to go around, maybe I can meet someone!”

"That's right!" Zhuo Zhuo seemed to remember something again: "I heard that guy Yiyi said that you are the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, so...you..."

"Haha," Wen Hui laughed, and his voice suddenly changed, becoming softer and sweeter: "Hey, I also had to do it... At that time when I came to Kaifeng, it happened that Zhao Zhen fell ill and fell into a coma. "If I don't disguise myself, it won't be so easy for me to enter the palace to treat his illness, and it will be inconvenient to ask for news later. It will be much better if I become the abbot of Tianqing Temple. Not only can I enter the palace from time to time, but also the ministers in the court I often go to my home to recite Buddhist scriptures, and I know a lot of things because of it.”

At this time, Yi Yi said: "It is also said in the "Shan Hai Jing" that the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, Chi, wears green clothes and is beautiful, but has no hair. I don't know... Is it true?"

He asked very carefully, but Wen Hui replied with a smile without hesitation: "Yeah, so... If I want to restore the girl's attire, I'm afraid it will scare everyone?"

"What's the matter?" Knowing that Wen Hui is not a man, Zhuo Zhuo took her hand affectionately and said, "Well, in the future, you can live with us in another time and space, where the girls are pretty even if they are like this, no one Can talk nonsense!"

"Oh?" Wen Hui asked curiously, "Really?"

Zhuo Zhuo saw that he had a chance to show off, so he started talking happily.Sitting across from each other, Tan Zhifeng looked at them chatting and laughing, and suddenly felt that this car of people was not rushing to a dangerous battlefield, but going out together for vacation.He opened the curtain of the car again and looked out. The stars were twinkling in the night sky, and a full moon was hanging in the sky. The carriage moved faster again. Under the bright moonlight, he looked back and could still see the carriage passing by clearly. Mark of.

But at this time, the night breeze blew by, but he couldn't help but think of the kiss that Xu Gan landed on his lips in the woods.He couldn't help but put his hand on his chest, right there, the dragon scale still conveyed a faint but reassuring message to him.

We, see you soon.
