Chapter 2 Drinking at Night

Huqi Mountain, Ice Stone Room.

Gui Li silently stared at Baguio lying peacefully on the ice stone platform, the woman sleeping in the curling white smoke, and the corners of her mouth always seemed to have such a smile. Does she still have feelings at this moment, but do you still know that someone is guarding her?

Or, in her heart, she had never regretted it, so she fell asleep so peacefully?

For this, Gui Li asked himself countless times. He never knew the answer and dared not think about it, but every time he thought about it, he seemed to suffer a little more. However, his body is getting worse and worse now. Although he has practiced the three volumes of Heavenly Book True Dharma, he has gradually realized that the three true Dharma of Buddha, Tao and Demons seem to be integrated into one. The Tao is advancing day by day, but the demon power of blood-eating beads seems to wander in his body every day, like Later, the opportunity died with him.

Gui Li has long been familiar with that cold feeling. From his youth to now, he has been with him! Even if you die, you will die because you will feel cold like this!

He smiled bitterly in his heart and finally glanced at Baguio. This was the third day he was guarding Baguio alone.

"Have a good rest, and I'll come back to see you soon." Gui Li said gently, "Don't be afraid. Your father and I are just leaving for a while now. Even if I die, I will come back to see you before I die.

He looked at Baguio, smiled gently, and then turned around and walked out of the ice stone room. The light smoke floated behind him like a veil.

"Boom!"

The heavy stone door slowly closed behind him, and the little gray, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped on his shoulder with a snort. Gui Li reached out and gently touched Xiaohui's head, nodded and walked all the way out. Along the way, he either reached to the corner of the wall, or turned many detours to play with the organs. Along the way, all the middle organs of the General Hall of the Ghost King of Huqi Mountain were activated, and more than ten heavy stone doors fell.

In the belly of Huqi Mountain, there is the sound of organs everywhere at this moment, but there is only one ghost. Other people have chased the ghost king to the barbarian temple three days ago. At this moment, Huqi Mountain was cold and lonely. Gui Li walked all the way out of the belly of the mountain. When the sun brought a trace of warmth to his body, he couldn't help shaking his body.

"Rumble..." The last stone door slowly closed and covered the huge belly of the mountain, which was mixed with a faint "pop" sound. Gui Li listened to his ears and knew that it was the sound of the mechanism's reverse buckle. In the future, if someone came in the future, he didn't know how to open the organ and just wanted to attack In the face of this huge rock of tens of thousands of catties, it has to be like an immortal.

The warm sun shone on his body, and Xiaohui, who was lying on the ghost's shoulder, stretched out his arms, and yawned in his mouth. Gui Li turned his head and looked at it, smiled and said, "What's the matter? Look at your boring and drowsy look?"

Xiaohui "squeaked" twice, rolled his eyes on the monkey's face, and then danced his hands and feet, pointing out of the mountain. Gui Li smiled and said, "You're bored. Well, it's desolate everywhere, and there are not even a few trees. No wonder you feel uncomfortable."

Xiao Hui immediately nodded desperately, jumped down from Gui Li's shoulder, squeaking and dancing. Gui Li took a deep breath and looked back at the door of the cave, which was integrated with the mountain at this moment. He nodded and said, "Well, we have to wait for a month to visit Baguio. During this period, let's relax around."

Xiaohui was overjoyed, jumped on the ground and grinned. Gui Li was infected by it, and he couldn't help but feel much better. He laughed and scolded, "Okay, don't come up, or you can stay here by yourself."

Xiaohui's head shrank and rushed back with a "shh" sound, and climbed up the ghost's shoulder a few times, laughing. Gui Li shook his head, and there was also a smile at the corners of his mouth. His hand turned over, and the familiar cold feeling rose again. Gui Li seemed to think of something and hesitated for a moment. Xiaohui was a little surprised why Gui Li didn't fly away. He squeaked twice. Gui Li turned around and looked at it, then smiled faintly and whispered, "Life is lonely, why do you think so much?"

Xiaohui blinked twice. Obviously, he didn't quite understand the two words that Gui Li suddenly came out, but Gui Li didn't say anything more. As soon as he turned over his hand, the blue light rose, and the soul-eating magic wand sacrificed out. He carried each of them and a monkey, went straight to the blue sky and left

※※※

The smophoen place closest to Huqi Mountain is a small town 200 miles away from the northeast, called "Sanfu Town". The population of Sanfu Town is not large, but there are still several villages around it, which is barely lively. In the past, in order to keep it a secret, when Gui Wangzong usually purchased daily necessities such as grain, wine and so on, he did not go to Sanfu Town, but went to towns farther away to buy, in case the right path or other factions of the Demon Sect found the main hall. However, before the disciples of the Ghost King returned to the mountain, many people went to Sanfu Town to rest.

In the past, Gui Li also passed through Sanfu Town with Xiaohui. Although there were not many times, Xiaohui was extremely smart and remembered it firmly. At this moment, as soon as he came out of Huqi Mountain, Xiaohui waved desperately on Gui Li's shoulder and arm, and kept pointing in the direction of Sanfu Town. Obviously, he wanted Gui Li shook his head, but didn't say anything. He turned around and flew to Sanfu Town.

The distance of 200 miles is not far for the monks flying in the air. Between the blue sky and white clouds, but a faint blue light with a little black gas flashed and flew through the sky.

Xiaohui lay restlessly on his shoulder, tilted his head from time to time, and the long monkey tail also swayed over. I don't know if he was thinking about the delicious food he would enjoy later. Gui Li manipulated the soul-eating while looking at his feet. Needless to say, the area around Huqi Mountain is a desolate and bald mountain. After leaving the Huqi Mountains, the terrain is relatively flat, but the wilderness is also silent. There is no smoke. Looking down from a high place, there is only a desolate ancient road stretching alone in the wilderness, Where?

Gui Li suddenly sighed, but he didn't say anything, but Xiao Hui was a little strange and looked at the master more.

After flying to the northeast for less than half an hour, they had flown to the top of Sanfu Town. From afar, they could see the houses below, one by one. Xiaohui was already excited, squeaking and pointing down. Gui Li smiled and said, "Okay, let's go down now."

The blue light flashed, making a "ss" sound in the air, falling from the sky and falling on the streets of Sanfu Town. But as soon as he landed, Gui Li's eyebrows had already wrinkled. Xiaohui jumped off his shoulder, reached out and grabbed his head, looked around, and was obviously a little confused. After a while, it seemed that it also felt something. The three eyes lit up at the same time, and the mouth squeaked, and his face looked a little nervous.

The Sanfu town in front of us seems to have become an empty town. Most of the surrounding houses are still intact, so I have to see the damaged places in a few places, but the people of the whole town have completely disappeared. The dead silence enveloped the small town.

The ghost snorted, and he understood more or less in his heart. Needless to say, the change here is mostly due to the catastrophe of the beast demon. The people in the town either fled to the north early, and if they escape slowly, it is mostly difficult to avoid becoming the fate of food in the mouth of the beast demon. A good town has become like this. Thinking about the past, I don't know how many towns are like this in the vast land of China at this moment?

There is a wind blowing in the distance, and there is a little sand on the street. On such a warm day, the wind blowing in this town seems to be cold. Xiaohui still seemed to be a little uneasy. He approached Gui Li and looked around at the same time. Gui Li leaned down, picked Xiao Hui up, and said in a low voice, "It's okay."

Xiaohui blinked his eyes, as if he was with Gui Li, and also calmed down. Gui Li took a deep breath, raised his feet and walked forward slowly. Xiao Hui climbed on his shoulder, no longer noisy, and quietly looked around.

Except for the wind, there was no sound at all in the town. Gui Li walked away. Halfway through the street, he saw that some of the doors and windows of each family were closed, but some of the doors were open. I don't know if they were broken in by the beast demon. However, no people's bodies were seen along the way. It seems that the people here still got the news in advance, so most of them fled to the north.

At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew by, and a crumbling door on the left side of the street fell down with a bang and hit the ground, making a loud sound, echoing in the empty street. Gui Li and Xiao Hui turned their heads at the same time. Behind the door, one arm fell weakly on the board, motionless, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Gui Li looked silently in that direction for a while, and then turned his head and continued to walk forward. Xiao Hui lay on Gui Li's shoulder, but turned back and looked at the arm from time to time.

Gui Li has also been to Sanfu Town several times before, so he knows a little about the situation here. He walked slowly, silent for a long time, and then said, "I remember there is a pub in front of me. Let's go there. Maybe I can find you something to eat."

The little gray squeaked twice.

The sound of footsteps stepping on the street sounded particularly loud at this moment. The cold wind blew from behind again and again. Quickly, along the street, they came to the front of the pub. The signboard of the pub has fallen off the door, turned over the door, and covered with a layer of dust. Gui Li took a look at the wooden plaque that he didn't know its name, stepped on it, and left a footprint on it.

Suddenly, Xiaohui screamed in a low voice and stared at the pub, and his fierce body suddenly stopped. After a while, a low roar came from the tavern.

Is it a beast demon? This is the first reaction of the ghost, but the roar sounds a little familiar.

"Roar..."

Xiaohui suddenly let out a scream and rushed into the pub. Gui Li was shocked. He didn't know why Xiaohui suddenly got excited, but Xiaohui had always been very close to him and could be said to be his only partner. No matter what, he could not let Xiaohui face the mysterious things in the tavern alone. Seeing that Xiaohui was about to enter the pub in a blink of an eye, his fierce face changed, and his figure shook and he had chased in.

The next moment, he appeared in the pub. When he saw the things in the pub clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The tavern was messy, the pots and pans were thrown everywhere, and the fragments were piled up. The original tables and chairs were also placed in a mess. A few were still intact, and thick dust could be seen on the table and chairs. But in such a dilapidated pub, on a relatively intact table in the middle of the pub, there was a pot of wine and a few wine glasses, sitting next to a teenager in bright silk clothes, and in the open space between him and the ghost, a monster and little ash were facing each other, looking ferocious and terrible, roaring. There is a trace of consterity in the middle. It is the evil beast.

turned out to be the mysterious teenager who met the ghost in the deep forest of the barren mountains that day.

Taog Tao stretched out his long neck, stared at the giant eyes of four copper bells, and stared at Xiaohui, but Xiaohui's expression was not as nervous as at the beginning. Instead, he looked a little happy. He squeaked twice, grinned, and slowly walked forward, but he wanted to touch the glutton

The gluttonous roared, obviously a little uncomfortable with Xiaohui's action. Xiaohui paused for a moment, blinked his three eyes, and walked around the body of the gluttonous beast twice, from the left to the right, and from the right to the left. The gluttonous long neck rotated, followed Xiao Hui's body around, and there were a few low roars in his mouth from time to time, but it sounded that the hostility was getting smaller and smaller. Obviously, gluttony actually had a good impression on this three-eyed monkey. I just don't know if it was because it was rare to Look at each other...

At this time, the teenager also saw Gui Li. He sat and did not move, but he seemed to be stunned. Obviously, he did not expect to meet Gui Li here. However, he quickly returned to normal, smiled and nodded to the ghost. Gui Li's heart was not less surprised than that teenager, and at this moment, he was even more doubtful about the identity of this mysterious teenager. He could appear in the pub of such a dead town. It was very strange that this person's origin was unknown.

At this time, Xiaohui was already close to the glour. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and smiled, reached out and reached out, and patted the gluff's rough head. There was a low roar in his mouth. The four eyes stared at Xiaohui, looking fierce, but Xiaohui didn't seem to be afraid at all. Instead, he felt that it was very funny. He patted his hand twice, making a strange and funny "poof" sound.

It seemed that there was nothing he could do with the monkey. He snorted, as if he had snorted helplessly. He lay down and no longer paid attention to Xiaohui. Xiaohui seems to like this strange monster very much. He moves here and there when he is close to it, and it is very intimate.

The mysterious teenager withdrew his eyes from the two spirit beasts, looked at the ghost, and smiled, "It seems that they are very good."

Gui Li nodded and smiled slightly.

The teenager patted the chair beside him and said, "Actually, the two of us are quite predestined. The sky is so big that we can still meet here. Brother, why don't you come and sit down? Let's have a drink so that we can have a chat.

Gui Li took a look at Xiaohui and Taoist who were gathered together, and saw that Xiaohui's attention seemed to have been focused on Taoist at this moment. At that moment, he said lightly, "It's okay." After saying that, he walked over slowly, but did not take the teenager, but took another chair and sat down on the other side of the table.

There was a faint smile on the young man's handsome face. He reached out and took a clean cup and put it in front of Gui Li. Then he filled him with wine and smiled, "Brother came to this empty and desolate town. I don't know what's going on?"

Gui Li didn't answer. He looked at the teenager and said in a low voice, "Then what are you for?"

The teenager smiled and said, "I passed by here, and I saw that I could find a few glasses of residual wine here, so I rested here for a while and drank it myself."

Gui Li turned his head and looked at Xiao Hui and said, "If I said that I also came here with this monkey to drink, do you believe it?"

The teenager was stunned and looked at Xiaohui. Suddenly, he laughed and stroked his palm and said, "Believe, why don't you believe it! Come on, you and I have a drink. Life is lonely. It is rare that there is a predestined person to find wine and drink together in the remote corner of the world.

After saying that, he raised his glass to the ghost, and then drank it all. Gui Li took a deep look at him and slowly repeated the sentence: "Life is lonely, hey hey, life is lonely..."

He suddenly smiled, and his smile was full of vicissitudes. He raised his glass and took a sip. A hot smell of wine, from the throat down to the belly, the wine in this remote town is quite powerful.

The teenager laughed and said, "How's it going?"

Gui Li raised his eyes, reached out and took the wine pot, added wine to the two of them, and said, "Good wine!"

The teenager smiled more strongly. He slapped the table and laughed, "Okay, it's really good wine." In the laughter, the young man's expression gradually became excited, and he suddenly shouted:

"Old ideas, vicissitudes of life,

Do you remember, sad person?

White hair and withered lights walk around the world,

Lone loneliness for a hangover..."

Later, his voice gradually turned into desolate, and his face looked a little lonely. After chanting, he bowed his head and was speechless. Gui Li looked at him silently and drank the wine in the glass in front of him.

※※※

At night, the cold wind gradually rose, and there was a "woo" sound in the lonely town, like someone crying quietly in the distance.

The night is dark, dark as the tide, drowning the earth. The monkey leaned against the glor and fell asleep, and the fierce beast was lying lazily on the ground at this moment. In the pub, it was dark. Ghost Li and the teenager sat in the dark, and no one got up to find a candle to illuminate.

Maybe in the dark, they seem to feel more comfortable.

After a whole day, they sat face to face, occasionally saying a few insignificant words, occasionally drinking a few glasses of wine, but more often they seemed to remind each other, meditated silently, and recalled the past of their lives.

In such a cold night, in a remote place at the ends of the earth, two strangers seem to have known each other for a lifetime and get along with each other indifferently.
