"You don't like women?"
In the carriage compartment, Ding Ning looked at Xue Wangxu suspiciously: "Is there a physical problem?"
"What do children know!"
Seeing that Ding Ning was still tirelessly discussing this issue with himself, Xue Wangxu was immediately annoyed.
Ding Ning asked stubbornly, "Then why?"
"It's just boring."
Xue Wangxu looked at the calm Ding Ning, he couldn't even get angry, and he said helplessly: "Good wine is a song, naturally it is a happy thing in life, but most of the people in the world are vulgar and vulgar, especially after seeing them a lot, they feel that they are gone." mean."
Ding Ning immediately looked at Xue Wangxu again.
"You don't need to look at me with this kind of eyes." Xue Wangxu said slightly: "Who hasn't been young and frivolous, especially when he got stuck in a certain realm on the way of cultivation, couldn't break through for many years, and made no progress at all. It's normal to find a restaurant to drink flowers and wine when you're depressed. It's just that if you play too much on the spot, you don't think it's interesting at all. No matter how young and beautiful a woman pours wine for me, it is impossible to have that real pleasure after all, if there is something that I regret, it is better not to do it.”
Ding Ning frowned slightly, he thought for a while, looked at Xue Wangxu and asked seriously: "Then you have been in Changling for so long, have you never met a woman you really like?"
Xue Wangxu fell silent suddenly.
After counting breaths, he smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I will go to see her when I go back to Changling."
…
…
The carriage was traveling on the official road back to Changling.
Maybe it was because the sword that he had been saving for a long time was finally thrust out heartily, or maybe it was because he was a little tired from fighting Feng Qianzhuo with all his strength. In the next ten days, Xue Wangxu obviously said a lot less. Less, but the time to close your eyes and rest your mind seems to be sleeping but not sleeping, but it is much more.
In the evening, the carriage, which had had its wheels changed several times, and the carriage and curtains were covered with dust, finally drove into Changling without city walls again.
When this travel-stained carriage slowly moved along the criss-crossing straight streets and alleys of Changling Mausoleum, it stopped at one place. Ding Ning was extremely uneasy.
He lifted the curtains of the car in disbelief, looked at the building in front of him, and asked in a tone of shock and admiration, "The woman you really like is actually from here?"
Even an official residence or a flower building could not shock him so much.
Because he knew the place in front of him.
This place with gray tiles in the yellow courtyard is one of the few temples in Changling, and it is still full of incense on weekdays.
Could it be that Xue Wangxu has such good taste that he likes a nun
"what are you thinking!"
It was only a glance to know what Ding Ning was slandering in his heart at the moment, Xue Wangxu suddenly let out a low shout, and slapped Ding Ning's body with his palm, almost knocking Ding Ning out of the carriage.
"Get out of the car with me."
Xue Wangxu gave Ding Ning a blank look, got out of the car first, and went straight into this temple.
There are several ginkgo trees planted in front of the main hall of the temple, which have been around for a long time. It takes several people to enclose it, with dense branches and leaves.
On both sides are two release pools.
Xue Wangxu stopped in front of the release pool on the left.
Ding Ning leaned forward in confusion, only to see many fat red carps swimming around inside, and many turtles clinging to some rocks in the pool.
Before he could speak, Xue Wangxu stretched out his hand and pointed, a stream of extremely pure true energy pierced into the pool like a sword, and exploded with a buzzing sound near the bottom of the pool.
Something like a millstone suddenly floated up.
It was only at this time that Ding Ning noticed that this was an old turtle who had grown up for an unknown number of years. The back shell was as deep as the color of bluestone. At this moment, he was directly stunned by the power of Xue Wangxu's true essence.
Xue Wangxu raised his hand, and before the people in the temple noticed, he immediately grabbed the old turtle and quickly walked out.
Ding Ning looked at the water marks under his feet, but didn't react for a while.
He hurried to the door, looked at Xue Wangxu who was about to get into the carriage, and couldn't understand at all, "What are you doing?"
Xue Wangxu casually threw the old turtle that looked like a small millstone under the seat of the carriage, and said, "Of course it's stewed."
Ding Ning was stunned again, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the release pool: "If you're not joking... it doesn't seem very good, does it?"
Xue Wangxu glanced at him indifferently, and said, "Get in the car."
Ding Ning couldn't figure it out.
He knew that there must be a reason for things he couldn't understand, so he didn't think too much about it, but just watched.
The carriage stopped in front of a restaurant.
This restaurant is not big, but it looks like a good business.
Under Xue Wangxu's order, the restaurant's kitchen really cleaned up the old turtle and stewed it, and brought a casserole the size of a washbasin full to Xue Wangxu and Ding Ning.
Xue Wangxu still didn't explain anything, just calmly raised his chopsticks and ate the meat.
Ding Ning didn't ask any questions, just ate meat and soup.
Regardless of the origin of this old turtle, the chef of this small restaurant did have some tricks. He patted the meat of this old turtle to a certain extent in advance. After stewing, it doesn't feel too old, but it is only strong and delicious.
It took a lot of time to stew this old turtle.
Xue Wangxu asked for several pots of Huadiao, and Ding Ning ate all the old turtle casserole. When they walked out of the restaurant, it was already night and the winter was even colder.
However, Xue Wangxu didn't intend to take a break, he just told the man who had been helping Baiyangdong to drive the car to go back and rest on his own, and then he didn't take the car anymore, but walked slowly through the streets of Changling with his hands behind his back .
Ding Ning silently followed behind him, walking in the darkness of Changling's winter night.
After passing through more than ten streets and alleys, Xue Wangxu stopped on a mound.
In front of the mound, there is a small pond.
On the slope of the mound, there is a tomb.
Ding Ning was inexplicably awakened. He took a deep breath and looked at Xue Wangxu.
Xue Wangxu's cheeks were slightly reddish, but his expression was more peaceful than usual.
"This is the woman I like the most. It's just that when I was young, she had someone I liked before I could really open my mouth. At that time, my brother and I were only focused on practicing and missed a lot of time. It's just that if you do it all over again If I choose an opportunity, I may not necessarily open my mouth at that time. Because although she married an ordinary merchant family, she has lived a very happy life in Changling, even if I think about it, it is impossible for her to live happily."
Xue Wangxu smiled, turned his head to look at Ding Ning, and said, "That old turtle, I had an idea when I was young, when I saw this green turtle by the pool, I suddenly felt a feeling of ignorance. What kind of idea is it, just thinking that it is something released by others, after all, I am embarrassed to secretly catch it and try it."
"I was young at the time, and I had a lot of interesting thoughts in my mind, and I might be happy if I did it, but now I am too old, and many people and things have long since passed away. However, due to various reasons, I want to do things that I have not done, and there are not many things that can be done, only this old turtle is still there, and it will not be here after today."
"Thinking about it now, the current Changling Tomb is like that pool to me. I'm already an old turtle who never dies, so being trapped in this pool doesn't make much sense."
Xue Wangxu laughed. He glanced at Ding Ning, then turned to look at the grave, and said, "But I did what I wanted to do a long time ago, the old turtle tastes really good, and I came to see her again. Really happy."
Hearing Xue Wangxu's words that he would not normally say, but now he was speaking a little chaotically and with some repetitive words, Ding Ning shook his head lightly, frowned slightly, and said, "Since it's a happy thing, don't say it like that. Heavy, don't say it as if you have to finish the last few things and let me die for you."
"Life is forever, who can live forever?"
Xue Wangxu turned around indifferently and started to leave, but his face became serious, and he said slowly: "Others may not understand the queen's methods, but my senior brother and I understand it very well. Since my senior brother and I rejected her, we will send Bai It took less than half a month for Yangdong's spiritual veins to be divided into three parts until Baiyangdong was forced to merge with the court. It took us more than ten days to return to Changling from Zhushan County... so the time is almost the same."
Ding Ning lowered his head slightly, and said softly, "I didn't know she was so cruel before."
Xue Wangxu didn't know the real meaning of Ding Ning's words, looked at him with pity, and said softly: "You have to understand that the higher the Changling is, the colder it is, and people who can sit higher , naturally the colder it is."
Ding Ning silently followed behind him.
Seeing his very faint shadow falling on his body in the dark night, he said slowly: "Remember you promised me that I will give you the real scenery in Minshan Sword."
Xue Wangxu paused, turned his head, and said solemnly: "I will do my best."
Ding Ning took a deep breath and looked up at Changling in the distance.
At this moment, his eyes were very strange.
He is obviously not as tall as those unchanging buildings, but he seems to be looking at this Changling from a height.
