Ten Years in Daocheng

Jian... Bai Xincha's mind was spinning rapidly... and the food that was cold today...

"I have always thought that Junior Brother Liu Jun is afraid of the cold because he was shivering from the cold when I saw him for the first time. But he refused to eat warm food, and he did not reject candied haws on the contrary. The room was getting cold quickly It was freezing, but he asked me to turn off the fire. The scene where he was far away from the brazier at that time was like avoiding the Sun Breaking Sword! Could it be that he was not afraid of the cold, but..."

……hot?

Repeat the old technique

Part58

Bai Xincha is struggling in a chaotic dream.Xu Liujun was right in front of his eyes, but he couldn't grab it no matter what, and he couldn't respond to his shouts, which made his chest tight with anxiety.Suddenly Xu Liujun disappeared, and Xie Wei'an stretched out his hand towards him with a strange smile in the void.He turned around and ran desperately, and when he was almost out of breath, the master appeared in front of him.

"Master, save me!"

Yang Zhengze in the dream ignored him completely, and just looked at the book in his hand.Bai Xincha recognized the two weird symbols on the cover, which were the word "evil demon" deciphered from "Ancient Cipher Text".He once watched Master hastily press this booklet under the draft paper.But how can I care so much now?He grabbed Yang Zhengze's sleeve tightly and knocked down the book: "Master, Xie Wei'an wants to kill me!"

Yang Zheng stared at the ground expressionlessly.Bai Xincha followed his gaze, and "Elimination of Demons" was spread out thinly, and the dense symbols on it were sometimes blurred and sometimes clear.But why are these symbols so familiar?Where have you seen it before?

I remembered!Bai Xincha's heart stopped suddenly.It was in Xu Liujun's dream, the one placed by his bedside!What exactly is recorded in this book?However, he couldn't help thinking about it, Xie Weian's laughter echoed in his ears again.He hurriedly raised his head, only to see that Master's face had changed to Xie Weian's, but he spoke with a voice like a nightmare singing:

"This is your destiny..."

Bai Xincha woke up panting heavily.I fell asleep unknowingly last night, and the sky was already bright at this time.He looked to the side, but Xu Liujun was not there.

"Junior Brother Liujun!" He rolled over and got out of bed, catching up with Ah Fu who came in with the wash water.

"Guest officer, you are awake."

"What about the man who came with me?"

"He left early in the morning." Ah Fu said, "Before he left, he asked me for pen and ink, asking me to give you a letter."

Bai Xincha hastily took it and opened it.The letter reads:

Brother Xincha:

Forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye.In fact, I want to bid farewell to you, but I am afraid that once I see you, I will be reluctant to leave.Really enjoyed being with you.Your dream is the most beautiful place I have ever seen.If you have a chance to meet again in the future, remember to treat me to candied haws.

留君

It was the first time he saw Xu Liujun's handwriting—it was a neat regular script without losing the edges and corners, but it was softer than the usual regular script, and it was really like a person.Bai Xincha sighed deeply, carefully folded the letter and put it in the pocket close to the left breast.

"I finally guessed correctly, he doesn't want me to go." He thought, "But there is no banquet in the world. What secrets does he have, after all, I have no way to know."

It's time to go back to Daocheng.

Part59

Although he still thought about Master and the others yesterday, Bai Xincha was not enthusiastic about returning to Daocheng.After returning home, he practiced swords, learned spells, secretly wrote novels, and went home once in a while.Same thing.He took a while to pack it up, and asked Ah Fu for directions.You have to go through a forest first, find the bridge over the river, and then go south.

Xilin Town in the early morning is already quite lively.People woke up from their sleep, hawking and hawking, and going to the market.Baixincha found a long-lost sparkle here.He was looking east and west, and suddenly saw two familiar faces in front of a bun stall.

Eh?Isn't this the poor couple in Nightmare Shadow?

Nightmare was right.They were having breakfast and still arguing.The woman said to the man angrily: "I tell you to sprinkle some water on the green vegetables, and they will look fresh. You will forget after listening! At least you will earn two copper coins less today!"

The man refused to accept: "I'm busy with carpentry, how can I remember your words? You can't do such a small thing as sprinkling water?"

The woman was even more angry: "I'm weaving, how can I show my skills? You know how to criticize me all day long!" After speaking, she sat there with her arms folded, and she didn't even eat the buns.

Bai Xincha smiled wryly, and heard the man say, "Hey, let's have breakfast, and there's a steamed stuffed bun."

"Don't eat!"

"If you don't eat, how can you work hard?"

"You've done a lot of work, eat it." The woman was still angry, emphasizing the word "more".

Although noisy, but there is always some concern.Bai Xincha thought.The man also knew this, and his tone softened a bit: "Didn't you blame me first? Instead, blame me. Baozi is half for each person, okay?"

The woman seemed to want to laugh, but she was actually angry, so she opened the meat bun with a blunt expression.The two chatted again and again.

Bai Xincha slowly left the stall, and what they were saying later could no longer be heard clearly.Nightmare said that the couple had a lot of money in their dream, they loved each other and were extremely happy.But if they have been in the dream, they will die in less than a few months.Now they can live for a long time, but they have to deal with their livelihood all day long. Even if there is a moment of warmth, the troubles are far more than the happiness.Which one will they choose?Baixincha didn't know.He remembered Xu Liujun's words: "Without pain, happiness is meaningless."

Is the happiness that a person can enjoy in his life fixed?Like a bunch of candied haws, only a few hawthorns.It's fun to eat fast, but you'll soon run out of food.You can eat it for a long time with small bites, but it is not enjoyable at all.Why is it never possible to have both?He suddenly wanted to discuss this issue with Xu Liujun, but Xu Liujun had already left.

Bai Xincha sighed, her thoughts continued to wander, and somehow she thought of Wanwan again.Although the poor and lowly couples mourn everything, they still accompany each other.How to explain Wanwan?Some people have plump hawthorn on the candied haws, some have only a little sugar, and some have only a poor bamboo stick.This in the end is why?

Is it fate?He suddenly thought of the word.Wanwan's fate is to die of hunger and cold, and the couple's fate is to spend their whole life in poverty.Then what is my destiny?What is Liu Jun's fate?Where is Master and Mistress?

This is the third time I think of Xu Liujun.Bai Xincha raised her head, and found that she had passed through the woods and came to the river without knowing it.The river was clear and swift, and he bent down to wash his face, sobered up a lot and opened up his heart a lot.Since these things can't be figured out, it's better to put them aside!He scooped up some water and brought it to his mouth. He was drinking happily when he heard a familiar voice shout:

"Second—teacher—brother—"

Bai Xincha raised his head, and Yue Yun was standing far away from the rice field, waving at him vigorously.

"Yue Yun?!" A sense of intimacy suddenly surged in his heart, and he spread his legs and ran towards the third junior brother.There seemed to be someone standing behind Yue Yun, which was firmly blocked by his body.If that person wasn't a head taller than Yue Yun, he wouldn't be able to see him at all.

"Yue Yun, why are you here? Who is behind you?" Bai Xincha shouted while running.

"Second senior brother! It's not good, come quickly—" Yue Yun was still waving his hands, but didn't move.

Fearing that he might be in danger, Bai Xincha ran even faster, and was out of breath when he reached Yue Yun's side: "Why, what's the matter? Are you okay?"

Yue Yun held him back: "Second Senior Brother, I'm fine. It's..." He looked back begging for help.

The man behind him turned his back to them, wearing the same azure gown as Xu Liujun, but taller than Xu Liujun, holding his sword tightly.

"... Liu Linfeng!" Bai Xincha said in surprise.

Liu Linfeng didn't look back at him, but stared straight ahead.Bai Xincha looked behind him and followed his gaze, and saw the person he had thought of several times just now at a glance.

Part60

"Junior Liu Jun, why did you run away?" Liu Linfeng asked.

Xu Liujun didn't speak.Bai Xincha whispered to Yue Yun from behind: "How did you find this place? Why is Liu Linfeng with you?"

Yue Yun had a bitter face: "Master told me to come to you. Brother Linfeng found me when I was leaving, and he followed me."

Seeing Xu Liujun's silence, Liu Linfeng said again: "Master, Head Yang, Head Li, and Head Zhao have all gone out to find you. Come back with me."

Xu Liujun didn't say yes or no, just stood there, seemed to have a lot to say, and swallowed them all.

"Then I have no choice but to forcefully take you back—" Liu Linfeng raised his sword.

"Senior Brother Linfeng," Xu Liujun finally said, "You'd better not do anything, I don't want to hurt you."

Bai Xincha raised an eyebrow.Liu Linfeng is also a proud person.Although Xu Liujun really meant this, but saying "I don't want to hurt you" when the other party has a sword in his hand but he doesn't have one will only irritate him.

"You!" Liu Linfeng choked with anger. "You haven't lived with your brothers and sisters for so many years, and you only see you two or three times a year. Everyone said that you have a weird personality. I didn't expect that after all these years, in addition to being weird, you are even more arrogant!"

Xu Liujun realized that he had said something wrong, shook his head and hurriedly said: "Brother Linfeng, I didn't mean that! I..."

"Then what do you mean!" Liu Linfeng sneered, "Since you are so sure that you can win against me, let's have a good time...Ah!"

Xu Liujun watched Liu Linfeng fall straight up in surprise——Bai Xin
