Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 272: The Root of Dao, Starry Mountain

Sometimes our lives are about hurrying on the road, sometimes, it is about feeling the road, and sometimes, it is about looking back! Over and over again, back and forth, everyone is looking for their own path in life!

If a person walks alone, it is difficult to tell what he is doing, but when many people walk together, each person's different state will become very obvious.

The drunk beauty Murong Ruoxi was obviously looking back. She kept looking back, lingering on the road she had walked with the fool across the vast Manghai Ocean. She couldn't forget it, and she didn't want to forget it, so she kept moving forward in a drunken dream.

The little white girl Mu Wanqian is a person who always lives in the present. She will not look forward or look back. She will only accompany her lady Murong Ruoxi, take care of her, protect her, and enjoy every day and every second with her. This is all her life is about. She just wants to be with her lady, live in peace, and be happy wherever she is.

As for Lu Jiayao, she was in a hurry. She wanted to go back to Manghuang. She missed her master and wanted to return to a peaceful life. However, she was walking very slowly. However, she was also content and relaxed. She was not anxious or impatient and walked northward with peace of mind!

As for the old beggar, it is complicated. He is on the road, always looking at the road he has walked, and has also integrated into the lives of several younger generations. But there is an indisputable fact, that is, he is moving towards the end of the road. Whether he likes it or not, this is inevitable. To stay with the years is really a fool's dream!

Now there is one more person, a little boy, a little Taoist boy. What about him? He is only doing one thing, he is looking for a way, he is looking for the Guanxing Mountain, he is looking for his future, and of course he is also looking for the future of Daoyuan. He is the vitality of Daoyuan - Xiao Yingxu!

The autumn wind blew gently, blowing off the mottled yellow leaves, but it did not wake up the drunken beauty. Murong Ruoxi drank too much this time!

Finally, she entered the official career. Not long after, Mu Wanqian carried the drunk and sleeping Murong Ruoxi into the inn!

The old beggar is also a person who knows how to enjoy life! He asked for a room with a big bed and a bathtub, and he didn't have to pay for it anyway! But what made him unhappy was that the little Taoist boy lived with him. There was no way, Mu Wanqian didn't care about Xiao Yingxu at all, so Xiao Yingxu could only follow the old beggar!

The only extra thing Mu Wanqian did was to ask the innkeeper to prepare a new set of clothes for the old beggar!

In the warm and comfortable big bed room, the old beggar was soaking in the bathtub, smelling the sweet osmanthus fragrance, feeling very refreshed. Xiao Yingxu looked around the room, he had never seen such a room before, it was new but uncomfortable!

"Little brat, why are you going to Stargazing Mountain?"

"do not know!"

"Who told you there was a place called Stargazing Mountain?"

"do not know!"

"What is your master's name?"

"do not know!"

The old beggar suppressed his anger and asked again:

"Which sect are you from?"

"do not know!"

In fact, the old beggar knew that Yingxu was a disciple of Taoism, and from the Taoyuan Sect, but the old beggar really didn’t know whose disciple he was.

"what do you know?"

The old beggar rubbed the dust off his body vigorously. He was mad at a little brat!

"I'm going to Stargazing Mountain!"

Yingxu's voice is really childish, but it's a bit irritating!

"You sleep on the floor tonight, and I'll tell you where Stargazing Mountain is tomorrow!"

"Old man, I'm not a three-year-old child. You don't even know where Stargazing Mountain is. Do you think I'm stupid? Only my sister-in-law can help me!"

Xiao Yingxu was already lying on the comfortable big bed!

"Is this what your master taught you? Calling an old man an old thing?"

"Yeah, because that's what I call him!"

The old beggar is so angry!

"You should call me senior, understand?"

"I don't understand. My master never taught me!"

"Aren't I teaching you now?"

"You are not my master, I listen to my master! Otherwise, I can call you the old immortal. My master said that if you meet an old man you don't like, just call him that. My uncle is the old immortal!"

The old beggar stopped talking. He choked on the bath water!

When the old beggar hummed a tune and walked to the big bed while putting on his clothes, Xiao Yingxu had already fallen asleep, lying in a spread-eagle position!

"Hey! What happened to Daoyuan Sect? They just threw such a good disciple off the mountain. How did Daoyuan Sect know about Guanxing Mountain? This is so weird!"

The old beggar asked for a room with a big bed, but he ended up curling up in a corner of the bed and fell asleep. He was a little tired as he hadn't been so relaxed in years!

Last words before bed:

"It's great to have a wealthy apprentice! Should I ask her for a little apprenticeship gift?"

That night, the people who were going to assassinate Murong Ruoxi still did not show up. It seemed that once they left the vast desert, the people who were chasing Murong Ruoxi disappeared without a trace!

So everyone slept soundly that night.

People who are deeply drunk have some memory loss, and Murong Ruoxi seems to be no exception!

"Qian'er, I'm drunk again! Get up and send Jiayao back to Manghuang!"

Murong Ruoxi was lying on the big bed, feeling so comfortable, as if at home. She really didn't want to get up!

"Miss, you are awake!"

Mu Wanqian did all the duties of a maid, serving tea, pouring water, washing faces, very thorough and thoughtful!

"I'm awake, completely awake. From today on, I will practice hard and kill all those who are chasing us. I'm going to find that idiot! I don't want to bear the stigma. Not paying the money owed to me is not my style, Murong Ruoxi!"

Murong Ruoxi is in really good condition!

"Sister-in-law! Hurry up and get up, the sun is shining on your butt!"

Someone is shouting in the inn!

"Whose little brat is this? He is so rude and lacks manners!"

Murong Ruoxi walked downstairs while talking to Mu Wanqian beside her.

"Sister-in-law, you finally got up. The old man and I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Xiao Yingxu ran towards Murong Ruoxi, but fell into Mu Wanqian's arms because Murong Ruoxi dodged!

"Qian'er, you, you, when did you get married? How come I didn't know!"

Xiao Yingxu let go of Mu Wanqian and rushed towards Murong Ruoxi, shouting:

"Sister-in-law, it's me, you don't recognize me, Yingxu!"

Murong Ruoxi dodged and hid, shouting:

"Qian'er, who is this? Is there something wrong with you?"

Mu Wanqian shook her head, stepped forward to stop Yingxu, and said:

"Let's have breakfast first!"

Lu Jiayao also came down at this moment, yawning and saying:

"Sister Xixi, where is your master? Oh, he snored all night last night. It was so annoying!"

The old beggar glared at Xiao Yingxu. He was really angry! When he woke up in the morning, the little brat's toes had blocked his nose!

At the dinner table, Xiao Yingxu finally broke free from Mu Wanqian's hand and sat next to Murong Ruoxi!

"What? I'm his sister-in-law?"

Murong Ruoxi opened her eyes wide and looked at Xiao Yingxu. Mu Wanqian had already explained the whole story, but Murong Ruoxi didn't believe it!

"You must be joking. I've practiced to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. It's impossible for me to not remember anything I drank!"

Lu Jiayao took a sip of tea and said with a smile:

"Sister Xixi, you don't want to admit it? We all saw it, and you even asked Sister Qian'er to give him a gift! Old man, am I right?"

Lu Jiayao finally found an alternative name for the old pervert. She really didn't like calling him by those two words!

"Little girl, he's here to see you. He's going to Stargazing Mountain!"

The old beggar was a little depressed. He changed into new clothes, but no one praised him!

This made Murong Ruoxi very curious. She looked at Xiao Yingxu and asked:

"You want to find Stargazing Mountain? I want to find Stargazing Mountain too. Do you know where it is?"

Murong Ruoxi looked very expectant!

"Sister-in-law, take me to find Brother Idiot, and we'll know!"

Xiao Yingxu did not change his words!

The word "sister-in-law" made Murong Ruoxi blush instantly. She was really shy! Looking at Xiao Yingxu, she asked:

"Little brat, why are you looking for Stargazing Mountain?"

"Master told me to find the root of the Tao. Only with the root can there be hope!"

"Who told you there was a place called Stargazing Mountain?"

"Tianji Pavilion, Master asked me to go to the Tianji Pavilion's Sleeping Taoist Temple to find the answer under the incense burner, but there are only seven words written below: Guanxing Mountain, the root of the source of Taoism!"

"What is your master's name?"

"Master's Dharma name is Qingyao!"

Lv Jiayao finally got her revenge. She sprayed a mouthful of tea onto the old beggar and exclaimed:

"Are you the disciple of Daoyuan Sect Master Qingyao?"

"Yes, I am from Daoyuan Sect!"

The old beggar is so depressed!

First, Lv Jiayao sprayed him with tea, and second, Xiao Yingxu answered whatever he asked, and the questions were the same as what he asked last night, but Xiao Yingxu said she didn't know last night! Third, no one praised the new clothes, but they were all wet!

However, the old beggar was thinking about another thing in his heart, that is, how could there be something about Daoyuan Sect in the Sleeping Dao Temple of Tianji Pavilion? Who wrote it? This was very strange. It was obvious that the seven words should have been there originally, but he didn't know anything about it!

"Stinky old man, this dress is nice! But isn't it too inappropriate for you to wear it? Others are well-read, but you only have a bar in your stomach. Why are you wearing scholar's clothes? It's disgraceful!"

Only then did Murong Ruoxi notice that the old beggar was wearing scholar's clothes!

"Old man, you should change your clothes. Sorry, they are all wet!"

Lu Jiayao was very happy, very happy!

Mu Wanqian shouted:

"Little waiter, take off your clothes and change with this old pervert!"

As a result, Murong Ruoxi also spit out tea all over the old beggar and said:

"I really have a connection with Dazi, Master. Dazi likes the waiter's clothes. Please change them. I like them!"

"Old Xiaoer, do you know where Stargazing Mountain is?"

Children’s words are really fearless!
