Chapter 42 The old friend came to Yujian to go to the first finale
Time flies, and years fly by.
Although the sycamore trees in the small courtyard stood quietly in the courtyard as usual.
But the growth rings contained in the tree increased one after another.
In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed.
"It's snowing. This girl has stopped coming to my yard since she entered the realm of Daoji."
Pushing open the courtyard door and looking at the silver clothing all over the floor, Zhou Yu shook his head.
Compared with him ten years ago, although Zhou Yu's body still looks healthy now, his hair has become mottled gray, just like an ordinary person who is aging naturally.
In the past ten years, although he has not deliberately practiced cultivation, in this worldly world, this itself is cultivation.
Observing all kinds of things in the world all day long, my feelings about the three major artistic conceptions of illusion, truth and falsehood, and cause and effect are constantly improving.
Until now, with just a thought, Zhou Yu was able to break through the realm of Nascent Soul and step into the realm of God Transformation.
"Mr. Zhou, are you going out today?" Stepping out the door, Mrs. Chen put down the broom that was sweeping the snow and asked softly.
Because of their relationship with Hua Xiaoyu, although the two are not like relatives, to a certain extent, they can still be regarded as relatives after more than ten years.
"Well, today on a whim, I thought of going out for a walk, maybe I could see old friends." Zhou Yu said with a smile.
"When Xiaoyu went out, he said that a guest would be coming tonight. If Mr. Zhou is not busy, Xiaoyu hopes that you can come back as early as possible." Mrs. Chen said gently.
"Okay, I'll go to the restaurant for a walk and then come back." Zhou Yu nodded and walked slowly along the white snow outside the house.
"Mr. Zhou, are you going to drink again?"
"Mr. Zhou, it's cold. Would you like a bowl of mutton soup to warm yourself up?"
...
As Zhou Yu continued to move forward, pedestrians on both sides of the alley greeted him one after another.
There are drinking buddies who used to drink together, and there are also older girls who are no longer shy.
After all, he, Zhou Yu, is now an almost half-gray old man, and he doesn't have to worry about being stepped over by matchmakers like before.
"This Mr. Zhou is still as elegant and handsome as ever. It's a pity that I was too cautious back then."
A tall woman said helplessly while sweeping the snow.
"You should be fine. Mr. Zhou is the guest of many dignitaries in this city, so how can he like you?"
"Didn't you see that the delicate Chen family has been struggling for so many years and still failed to get into the adult family?"
Upon hearing the woman's words, the women nearby immediately laughed.
"What do these women know? Maybe this Mr. Zhou has a beautiful woman elsewhere." The idle man passing by said with envy.
...
"Mr. Zhou, are you in the same position today or yesterday?"
As soon as I stepped into the restaurant, the waiter immediately greeted me with a smile on his face.
"What, are you busy today?" Zhou Yu raised his head and glanced upstairs, and said calmly.
According to past practice, unless something happened, the waiter would definitely not stop him when he entered.
"The shopkeeper asked me to inform you that your seat is occupied. It may be one of your old friends.
Let me ask you, if it is inconvenient, we can make other arrangements for you." The waiter said flatteringly.
This Mr. Zhou is generous and has been patronizing the restaurant for more than ten years. According to the shopkeeper, this is a financial owner who cannot be offended.
"Since we are old friends, there is no need to change places." Zhou Yuling suddenly waved his hand.
While waving, the waiter took the broken silver in his hand into his arms with a look of joy on his face.
"Go ahead and cook two side dishes."
"Okay, please walk slowly."
Second floor.
The guests in the restaurant were as scattered as ever, but the once arrogant man was beginning to grow old just like he was now.
As soon as Zhou Yufang went upstairs, he saw a middle-aged man with gray hair near the window, sitting there drinking alone.
"Brother Zhou, long time no see." The clerk said with a smile.
"I can see it at a glance. It seems that even though Brother Wen has been gone for more than ten years, he still enjoys life in this restaurant as much as before." Zhou Yu walked over, took out a bottle of Drunken Immortal Brew, and put it on the table.
"That bottle of wine?" The clerk looked at the bottle in front of him.
An hour later, we drank three rounds.
"Actually, I have heard about you over the years, and even when I was in the capital, someone talked about your wine.
Some people are honest officials, and some people are dirty behind the scenes, but no matter who they are, they have not taken Brother Zhou away.
From then on, I knew that Brother Zhou, you are not simple, and fortunately you are not simple." The clerk said drunkenly.
"Brother Zhou, have you found the purpose of being in this restaurant?"
"found it."
"So good."
Looking at the clerk who was completely drunk, Zhou Yuqu flicked his finger and a drop of wine fell into his eyebrows.
"Let's get acquainted. I hope you will be satisfied with my gift." Zhou Yu said as he stood up and walked downstairs.
The moment he came downstairs, he saw several scholars downstairs, talking endlessly, just like they did back then.
"Shilang Wen, when you enter the court, the court is like this restaurant." After saying that, Zhou Yu walked out of the restaurant.
No matter what the clerk chooses, with that drop of wine, he can finally be safe.
Walking out of the restaurant, the sun outside has gradually set, showing an orange-red color.
"It seems that it's time for me to leave." Zhou Yu looked away from the sky and moved slightly.
A moment later, in the small courtyard, Hua Xiaoyu was lying on a chair, eating candied fruit out of boredom.
Not far from him, under the plane tree, a woman in a white dress stood gracefully.
"Xiao Yu, is this wine really brewed by your Uncle Zhou?"
Luo Ziling looked at the jar of wine on the wine table, still with a look of disbelief in her eyes.
"Of course, I have been brewing wine for a lifetime. If you think it's good, master, why don't you bring my uncle into the Immortal Sect as well?"
Hua Xiaoyu said proudly, with a cunning look in her eyes.
"Is it any wonder that you were able to become a Taoist monk in less than ten years without anyone teaching you?"
"What do you mean?" Hua Xiaoyu asked.
"If this wine is really brewed by your uncle, then he may not need to follow me." Luo Ziling said slowly.
The moment these words were spoken, Luo Ziling's eyes moved and she looked outside the hospital.
"I didn't expect that the person who taught her how to practice would be you, Junior Sister Luo, long time no see." Zhou Yu looked at the beautiful woman in the yard and said in surprise.
As these words came out, Yu Hua Xiaoyu's shocked eyes saw faint ripples of water outside Zhou Yu's body.
In the ripples, the gray hair became pitch black, and the old wrinkles on the face became smooth.
"Uncle, you...are you actually a cultivator of immortality too?" Hua Xiaoyu pointed with her finger and her words gradually trembled.
"Senior Brother Zhou." Luo Ziling shouted softly from the side.
…
One hundred and twenty years later, on Qingping Mountain, Zhou Yu was sitting cross-legged.
On the earth outside him, grass grows and warblers fly, and is full of life, but further away, the autumn wind is bleak, and everything begins to wither.
At this time, the sky in front of him suddenly shook, and Wang Ziyang's figure emerged.
"Uncle, you are here." Zhou Yu stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Have you realized the concept of reincarnation?"
Wang Ziyang nodded, but looked at the place of life outside Zhou Yu.
"There is truth and falsehood in illusions, cause and effect lead to future lives, there are cycles of reciprocation, and life and death are reincarnations." Zhou Yu said with a calm expression.
"speak English."
"I understand." Zhou Yu looked at Wang Ziyang's raised hand and nodded.
"Now that I understand, it's time to leave."
"Well, the main body has returned and is enough to protect them. It's time to see the world outside the world." Zhou Yu nodded.
Keng!
