something wrong

If you blame him, what about Sangzi, Yan Qitong thought, she came back to save Sangzi after all, that's all, and she can't blame him.

"It's good not to complain." Zhu Banxian also smiled, raised his bowl and pointed at Sangzi, "When you don't blame her, you will try your best to save you regardless of your own life."

This remark made everyone in the room startled, but Zhu Banxian only spoke half of it, touched his stomach and said, "I haven't eaten properly for a few days, shall we talk while eating?"

Sangzi immediately understood that when Zhu Banxian was in Hongjing, he was praised and flattered, and he lived a life like a fairy.After leaving Beijing, he probably didn't go so well. Judging by his attire, he must have suffered a lot, and even his speech was full of smoke and fire. This half-immortal name is close to mortals.

Naturally, the few people were no longer in the mood to appreciate the snow, and Lieutenant Qi was eager to go back soon. He was really a little panicked with the white scenery everywhere.

Back in the town, I found a tavern for dinner. It was not yet noon, and the shopkeeper told me to wait a little while. Zhu Banxian almost patted the table to urge him. mouth.

Yan Qitong couldn't bear to see him in such a mess, and after he finished eating, he asked, "How did you end up in this land?"

Zhu Banxian glanced at Sangzi, saw her shaking her head slightly, and said with a smile: "I didn't bring much money with me when I left Hongjing, and I was missed by thieves on the way, so it's a pity. If the road is better, people will believe it." Reward money, if no one asks for divination for a few days, it will be a bit miserable."

Yan Qitong never knew what was written in the letter he left to Sangzi, and he forgot to ask her when he set off, but now that he was opposite, she certainly wouldn't miss it: "It's so good, why did you leave Hongjing? "

Zhu Banxian shook his head and said: "After I brought you back, I suffered some injuries and felt that I still lacked something, so I decided to visit famous mountains to see if I can improve."

"Then why did you come here?" Yan Qitong asked again.

Zhu Banxian's face collapsed, the girl served aggressively, but fortunately the first dish was served, Sangzi pushed the plate in front of his eyes and said, "Let's talk when we're full."

After Zhu Banxian wiped out a large table of dishes, he finally had the feeling that he was still a human being. He stroked his knotted beard and looked at the tattered clothes on his body. Lieutenant Qi said: "Go and see if there are any clothes sellers on the street, you want a leather jacket, thicker." Then he said to Chen Dao Dao, "Go back to the inn first and prepare a room, heat up the hot water, and we will go back immediately. "

Both Lieutenant Qi and Chen Da were a little surprised. Doctor Sangzi seemed to owe this down-and-out Taoist ten thousand dollars of money, so he let him do everything.

Zhu Banxian chuckled, he knew in his heart that Sangzi was here to thank him for bringing Yan Qitong back.Well, the benefactor has appeared, and the rest of his life should be safe.

Yan Qitong watched Zhu Banxian and Sangzi coldly, full of doubts in his heart.The little interaction between the two did not escape her eyes. She knew something that they didn't seem to want her to know.Thinking of this, Yan Qitong changed his mind, got up and said to Sangzi: "You go back with Banxian first, and I will go with Lieutenant Qi to have a look. The weather is going to get colder, and the current clothes are probably not thick enough. Prepare some." After saying that, he took the initiative to leave.

Seeing her leave, Zhu Banxian said with a smile, "She knows what's interesting."

Sang Zi said, "Tell me, what's going on."

Zhu Banxian heaved a long sigh and spoke eloquently.

It turned out that after he snatched back his soul that day, as soon as Yan Qitong went to * Valley, he immediately left the Sangzi mansion and went home overnight to pack his things.

He considers himself a monk halfway, with no root or source, and even though he built a small Taoist temple, he lived in peace with those famous sects. After all, he was just famous at that time, and he was not yet able to get into the eyes of the national teacher and them.The national teacher and the others can't afford to offend someone like Master Yan Guo Zhiyu, but it's too easy to crush a weak person like him to death.So he hid immediately to heal his wounds.

After hiding, he did not forget to pay attention to his small Taoist temple. Sure enough, someone came to inquire the next day, and Jingzhong checked it.After he finally left Hongjing, he went east all the way, and someone chased him.The so-called didn't bring much money, but he spent it all the way on the run. After leaving Hongjing for more than 800 miles, after finally getting rid of those people, he finally had nothing to do with his sleeves and had to use a cloth flag to tell his fortune to survive.

"You must pass through here when you go east, so I'll wait here, and it's almost time to arrive, hehe." Zhu Banxian's words were indescribably cunning, but Sangzi knew that there are many capable people and strange things in this world. , he figured this out, not surprising.

Sangzi thought for a while, and told him the truth: "We are going to Yan Country to find Master Zhiyu. I have some friendship with her."

Zhu Banxian's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he immediately returned to normal and said: "I am too far away from her, and the height is unattainable, so I don't want to. I have spotted some places along the way. Hey, Hongjing, I don't plan to go back again, it's hard to say whether the Guoshi and the others will be waiting on the sidelines."

Sangzi nodded, she didn't understand the way of profound arts, but after all, he suffered this calamity because of himself, he didn't have a single complaint, so there was no reason for him not to help.

Zhu Banxian glanced at her when he said this, and asked strangely: "I see what you mean, she still doesn't know anything?"

Sang Zi was startled: "What do you mean?"

"You can take her and give up your life." Zhu Banxian said lightly.

Sangzi is not surprised that he would know this, "I won't." She said seriously, "Never."

Zhu Banxian smiled and stroked his beard, and said: "If she asks me tonight about what happened that day, how should I answer it?" After all, she was also the benefactor back then, so she naturally wanted to ask for her opinion.

Sang Zi pondered for a moment, then said calmly: "If she asks, you tell her, if you don't ask, then forget it."

"Let it be as it is?" Zhu Banxian sighed, "It's a pity you two..." He didn't finish his sentence, but seeing Sang Zi frowned, as if he didn't want to listen, he closed his mouth tightly, with a deep expression on his face Unpredictable.

"Let's go." Sangzi stood up slowly.As the weather turns cold, people become stiff, and the heart seems to be beating more slowly.Although she didn't know what the second half of Zhu Banxian's sigh was, but instinctively, she resisted to listen.As for why, she didn't want to think about it for a while, because she was too lazy to think about it, and she didn't have the strength to think about it.

That night, Yan Qitong really waited for Sangzi to fall asleep and quietly put on his clothes and went out.The lights in Zhu Banxian's room were still on, as if he was waiting for her, when he heard her knock on the door, he immediately opened the door.

Yan Qitong was not surprised to see him at all, so he tightened his cloak and stepped in.

"I know you have a lot to say, but let me say it first." Zhu Banxian said first.

Yan Qitong closed his opened mouth and nodded.

"There are too many factors involved in my leaving Hongjing. Although it was because of you, it was not because of you. Presumably, it will happen sooner or later. It won't hurt me to step back first." Zhu Banxian said, " You don't have to ask me why I left Hongjing, and I won't tell you if you do."

Yan Qitong looked at him depressedly, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

"Do you know where I come from?"

"Where are you going?"

Yan Qitong asked three questions in a row, but each one was softer than the other.

Zhu Banxian sat upright and said: "Although I can't figure out your ins and outs, I know that you are not the real Yan Qitong, and your home is also very far away. If I hadn't snatched you back last time, you would have been killed. Others took the soul away, or they might have gone back."

Just that first sentence is enough.Yan Qitong's straight back instantly relaxed, and for a moment, he didn't know whether it was sadness or joy.The joy is that finally someone can see through himself, but the sadness is that what is seen through is only the surface.Although he had already decided to find the "Heart of My Soul", when the opportunity came up, Yan Qitong of course wanted to ask: "Half Immortal, tell me, can I go back?"

Zhu Banxian stroked his slick beard and didn't speak. It took a long time before he spoke, but he was very serious: "The so-called fortune-telling is also a kind of obsessive technique, which makes you unable to escape the words you have written subconsciously. In fact, destiny is determined by God." , but there are still people who say this, so why force a certain result. If you can go back, you can go back, if you can't go back, there is a reason why you can't go back."

After talking for a long time, this Zhu Banxian just gave her a beautiful set of Tai Chi, but at the end of hearing it, he couldn't tell the truth.Yan Qitong was a little disappointed, bit his lower lip, got up and wanted to go back to his room.

"Girl," Zhu Banxian suddenly called her, "people are far and near, and love is close. You should ask your own heart, who is closest to you at the moment, and if you want to be far away, I'm afraid you will have both. It fell through."

Yan Qitong looked at him in surprise, the words were familiar, she had discussed them with Sangzi before.If she didn't know what kind of person he was, she would almost think that Sangzi taught him these things.But these words were so rich that she always had to think about what they meant: "Thank you for your guidance." She bowed her knees slightly and walked out the door.

Zhu Banxian watched the door close and clicked his tongue.How many red thread ends he has seen, how many marriage twists and turns he has counted, but such a situation is rarely seen, so it is hard for him to say, hard to say.

Yan Qitong held up the candle and went back to the room, blew it out and went to bed, Sangzi was still breathing lightly by her side, but she had more and more symptoms of insomnia.Yan Qitong turned sideways, staring at the almond-shaped eyes and dreaming about the sleeping face of the person in the inner bed, just thinking about it made him feel jealous.I don't know if Sangzi had any dream, but in the dream it was still white snow all over the place, and it was still March in Yangchun.

In fact, the meaning in Zhu Banxian's words is really obvious.The person who is closest to her, who is closest to her, is this woman. Just thinking of this, a cold body suddenly rolled into her arms, and Yan Qitong hugged her habitually, gently stroking her thin back.Since he hugged her tightly, in this woman's dream, it must have been a cloudy spring in March, and it must be warm to warm...

On the second day, Sangzi left enough gold, silver and jewelry for Zhu Banxian, and Zhu Banxian packed them carefully.He didn't have a customs clearance document, and he knew he couldn't pass Zhenshan Pass, so he said goodbye to them.Before leaving, there was some trouble.It turned out that he was telling fortunes on the hill yesterday, and that a child in the family was in danger of life. The family didn't believe it, and cursed at him. At that time, Sangzi heard his voice and asked Lieutenant Qi to invite him over here.

After the family returned home, the child really developed a high fever in the middle of the night and was unconscious until dawn. Only then did he remember the poor Taoist priest yesterday.His family searched all over the street, and finally saw Zhu Banxian, so they dragged him away and only made him responsible.Zhu Banxian didn't care about these things, he just pointed to Sangzi and said, "If you don't ask for a doctor here, you can only save me for him, so let's leave."

After listening for a long time, Sangzi understood the reason, and without further ado, went to see a doctor in a small sedan chair. In addition, the snow had not yet melted, so they stayed there until after the winter solstice, before preparing to leave for Zhenshan Pass.

As soon as the winter solstice is over, it enters the cold days, and the real cold has come.
