The seafood soup in the small copper pot was bubbling, and a strong but not overpowering aroma wafted out. The four men sat in a circle, looking at the fire under the pot in a daze.
The younger sister was cooking in the kitchen, and before she served it to the table, the men could only pass the time by chatting.
Li Dingxun was wearing a kindly provided Taoist robe around his waist, and his upper body was bare. In the firelight, he looked like a piece of oily, honey-glazed barbecue.
He himself didn't mind the image. He endured his hunger and turned to the Taoist priest: "Why do you call someone the enemy of ten thousand people?"
"Pure Land has spread that the eldest son of the Master of the Lion Sect bravely broke into Longtan, but his whereabouts are unknown." The Taoist priest said in a hurry, "What you did is really amazing! One person is equal to the other! Hey! It was only the original Buddhist who could do it.
Do it. Because of this, we
Ranshan also made an exception and put aside his grudges with you, the lion. Lord Qinglang specially made a divination for you and calculated that your fate is not yet over. Ha, your parents have been staying with us for the past three months, and they have to do it every day.
Let's calculate your position, and if we can't figure it out, we'll make a fuss."
The Taoist priest gulped down his saliva and said, "Your destiny is very strange. Even Master Qinglang can't see through it. It seems that your previous life must have been great. My master said he knew you. He went to Guangdong more than ten years ago.
If you were caught by a disciple of the Lion Sect and asked to tell a child's fortune, that person is you. But..."
Li Dingxun said "Oh". He had the impression that the wretched old Taoist priest at the time of the full moon said that Li Dingxun was the descendant of the Pojun Star.
The little Taoist priest smiled awkwardly, "But my master said that you are a lone star of evil, and you will die young."
The old man stared at him with his eyes as big as an ox. Can he say such unlucky words directly in front of others?
Bai Zimo stared at Li Dingxun's thoughtful expression and couldn't help but feel worried for his friend. If this peerless strongman felt offended, he and others would inevitably die.
However, Li Dingxun was actually lamenting about fate, which is really wonderful. Shi Xiangmen and Ran Shan can be regarded as a pair of enemies, but coincidental stories often happen between enemies.
The Taoist priest continued to chatter.
The little girl has already come out with the dish table. Since a distinguished guest is here, it is natural to add additional dishes, six hot dishes, two cold dishes, and one soup.
Wine-roasted lobster, fried chicken with soy sauce, braised pork with pickled vegetables, Huadiao fish, steamed crab, and fish-flavored tofu.
Stuffed bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms are served cold.
Mrs. Song’s Fish Soup.
The Taoist priest drooled in his sleeves and couldn't help but sing, "Ah ah ah! Little sister Fu Xixi is really a life-saving Bodhisattva, so rich!"
The younger sister kicked the lazy little Taoist priest with her foot and said, "Give me some space, I'm going to sit down and mess with you." Then she gently sat down next to Li Dingxun, with starry eyes, "Brother, would you like to try my craftsmanship?"
?”
The Taoist puckered his mouth and picked up a chopstick to eat fish that smelled so strange and sour!
Bai Zimo poured wine for everyone calmly. He didn't originally intend to pour wine for the little girl, but the girl put the bowl directly to the edge of the jar, so she had to have a bowl.
After pouring a round, Bai Zimo was about to take the bowl and toast, but unexpectedly, the younger sister stood up directly.
"Oh, I'm here to toast you!" The younger sister put the wine bowl between her eyebrows, a pair of shining eyes looming at the bottom of the bowl, "The first bowl is for our brother Li! A hero and a man who can be defeated by thousands of people.
!”
Li Dingxun smiled casually, "My dear little sister, I am ingenious and kind-hearted. If you take Mr. Li in, you will be rewarded in the future."
The Taoist priest frowned and his expression was distorted. The little girl had never been so enthusiastic about him... Also, this strange-smelling fish was really sour!
Everyone drank it all in one gulp. Bai Zimo kept pouring wine.
"The second bowl is a tribute to my grandpa. I wish you health and longevity!"
The old man's eyes wandered and he looked at Li Dingxun unconsciously, but he said clearly, "Girl, take care of yourself first. The old man is fine."
He drank it all in one gulp and poured the wine again.
His face was rosy, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his fine hairs, which looked like polished pink pearls. "The third bowl, I respect Taoist Priest Ping'an and Brother Bai, help each other, and we will be brothers for life!"
The Taoist priest said unforgivingly, "Yo yo yo, when it comes to our two brothers, we are just the same."
Even though he said this, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles. The fish had a strange smell, and it tasted sweet after being sour.
Fu Xixi swallowed the last sip of wine and sat down immediately, shaking her head like a rattle, "Don't drink, don't drink! You're so drunk." Then she changed her sitting position, holding her legs with her hands and supporting her knees.
He held his chin, tilted his head and watched Li Dingxun eating, minding his own business.
The Taoist priest drank three bowls of wine and finally washed away the taste in his mouth. His curiosity rekindled and he began to ask questions.
"Master Li, can you tell us what you have been doing in the past three months?"
Li Dingxun chewed slowly and answered in a calm tone, "Sleep."
"Where?"
"seabed."
Everyone stared, sleeping under the sea?
"Ha, that's really creative." The Taoist priest said sarcastically, "You haven't woken up yet?"
"Well, I had a long dream."
"So what are you going to do next?"
"Explore the remote areas overseas and see the end of the world."
The old man laughed a few times and said, "Your distinguished guest wants to go to the extreme land, but I'm afraid the old man's boat won't be able to do it."
"It doesn't matter, I will go there on my own."
As soon as he said these words, the smile on the old man's face lightened up.
Everyone continued to eat and drink, each meal was poured slowly, and they drank five jars of rice wine and one jar of shochu. The old man excused himself as he was too drunk and asked the younger sister to go back to the cubicle to sleep, and he also lay down on the bed board in the corner. After a while, the swordsman said
After I had eaten and drank enough, I fled to the bed board to meditate.
On the tablecloth, there were leftovers, and beside the tablecloth, the two men continued to drink.
The Taoist priest stared directly at the charcoal fire under the copper pot, holding a bowl in his hand and pouring it into his mouth. Li Dingxun took a sip of wine and picked up a cold dish with chopsticks.
The sea after the storm is as calm as a dead body, and the salty smell changes its tone, like agarwood mixed with rotten wood.
Three months.
…
Countless eyes.
There are so many eyes that make people feel dizzy, horrified, and disgusted from the bottom of their hearts. They are distributed in the darkness, they are distributed on the flesh and blood, in the forest of bones in the shadow wilderness, in every gap, not a gap, everything that should have eyes, should not.
It should have eyes.
These are all illusions. Li Dingxun walked on the semi-dry mud, with a heavy layer of mud adsorbed on the soles of his feet, dry and hardened, and there were stones and insects in the mud.
Walking in unclean places.
The eyeballs everywhere around him emitted a very stingy light, not illuminating the road at all, and seemed to be distributed evenly, making Li Dingxun almost lose his way.
When he got out of here, he knew he had to leave.
Every step is the same distance, as if there is a ruler under your feet to measure it.
Ignoring the maliciousness of those eyes, there is actually no difference between walking on the sky.
Li Dingxun walked in silence.
Slowly realized this wasn't going to work.
Take a step if it takes half a second.
His journey has been longer than the beginning of mankind.
