The heavens begin with Hongquan

Chapter 231 [Tongbai Shuangqi]

The old Taoist said: "The old man's name is Zhou Gutong, and the old lady's name is Wu Baiying."

"It's just...the two are weird."

Hong Kang became interested: "What kind of strange method?"

The old Taoist squeezed his few gray beards, and said: "The old Taoist heard people say that they have been together for more than ten years, but they are not husband and wife, and they have never paid homage."

"If it's like this, it's inevitable that others will point fingers, but the two of them are quite content, and they don't take other people's attention at all."

Hong Kang said: "It's really different from the world!"

"That's right!" said the old Taoist priest, "Some people say that they don't agree with the etiquette, and some people envy the two of them who have the same eyebrows. Therefore, the two of them can be regarded as strange people."

Hong Kang smiled and said, "Since he is a strange person, I must go and meet him."

The old Taoist ordered Hao Xiaodaotong to clean the Taoist temple, and took Hong Kang to Tongbai Mountain.

The old Taoist had no martial arts, and Hong Kang led him all the way up the mountain.

"It's been a long time since I've experienced the feeling of walking like flying!" the old Taoist exclaimed.

Tao does not ask longevity.

But Hong Kang looked at the old Taoist's bark-like old face, and estimated that he must be in his 90s or [-]s.

Of course, this age cannot be compared with Hong Kang's age in several worlds.

But Hong Kang thought that if he couldn't make further progress in martial arts, maybe he would become like this in the future.

At the moment, I am even more determined to "seek the Tao" in my heart!

"Here we are." The old Taoist said.

Hong Kang looked around and praised: "The scenery where these two people live is pretty good."

On this thousand-meter high mountain, there is Yunjin Rhododendron, which is more than a hundred years old, with ancient trunks like iron, and twigs like hooks, with luxuriant branches and leaves.

Hong Kang has excellent eyesight, and he saw two people in their 50s from afar. One was doing laundry, and the other was chopping firewood.

Although they are no longer young, they seem to be able to understand each other's meaning when they look at each other and smile without speaking.

The old Taoist said that Zhou Gutong and Wu Baiying were not a formal couple, but in Hong Kang's opinion, they were better than other formal couples.

In the previous life, Hong Kang traveled from north to south, and met many extraordinary people when he went all the way.

There was a literati named Jin Yuelin, whose attitude towards feelings made Hong Kang very admired.

He is obsessed with a married woman.

That person is Lin Huiyin.

Although infatuated, Jin Yuelin doesn't look wretched.

Lin Huiyin and her husband Liang Sicheng held salon parties almost every week, and Jin Yuelin was always a frequent visitor to the Liang family's salon.

They have the same cultural background, like-mindedness, and deep friendship. They have lived next to each other for a long time.

Wherever the families of Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin moved, Jin Yuelin moved next door to them.

If it was an ordinary person, conflicts would have already arisen.

But they didn't.

Jin Yuelin admired Lin Huiyin's character and talent so much that he could chat about poetry, architecture, philosophy, art, etc. Lin Huiyin also admired and loved him very much, and the spiritual communication between them was extraordinary.

Even when Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin quarreled, they sought arbitration from Jin Yuelin, who was rational and calm. Jin Yuelin often went to Lin Huiyin's house and helped her take care of her children.

At that time, when Jin Yuelin said this to Hong Kang, Hong Kang couldn't understand.

Not only is it difficult to understand Jin Yuelin's behavior, but it is also difficult to understand Liang Sicheng's thoughts, let alone Lin Huiyin's attitude.

"You are also a generation of masters. If you do this, aren't you afraid that others will criticize behind your back?" Hong Kang asked.

"When you really like someone, the whole world doesn't exist except for her, so how can you care about the judgment of the world?!" Jin Yuelin said calmly.

"You are a big man, you are not afraid of others' criticism." Hong Kang said again, "But what about her being a girl? Can you not care?"

Jin Yuelin squinted at Hong Kang.

Although he didn't speak, Hong Kang read the meaning of "a vulgar martial artist, what aspirations do you know" from his eyes.

Especially with that expression, the viewers were furious.

Hong Kang was "furious" and grabbed Jin Yuelin and jumped from the third floor.

Before Jin Yuelin came back to his senses, he took another step and jumped up to the second floor with him.

This time around, Hong Kang laughed out loud when he saw Jin Yuelin, who was originally a dignified and old gentleman, with his hair messed up, his glasses crooked, and his eyes dull.

After Jin Yuelin regained consciousness, he also laughed helplessly.

Later, the two separated, one went to teach, and the other went to kill the enemy.

Hong Kang heard that Jin Yuelin never married, and he loved Lin Huiyin all his life.

Because Jin Yuelin used the highest rationality to control his emotions from beginning to end.

He once said: "Some things are beyond our control, we have to control ourselves."

Having experienced many things and met many people, Hong Kang will always think of some people inadvertently.

The existence of [Tongbai Shuangqi] reminded him of this friend from the previous life.

……

Talking to two people.

After finding out the shortcut, Hong Kang did not leave immediately.

Instead, he asked the two of them: "May I ask, since the two of you love each other so much, why don't you receive the paperwork and make a formal visit?"

As the name suggests, Zhou Gutong has an air of loneliness and melancholy all over his body.

Only when looking at Wu Baiying, will he show tenderness.

He looked at Hong Kang: "Brother is still young after all. How many couples are born with the same fate, but when disaster strikes, they all fly away separately?!"

Wu Baiying also looked at Zhou Gutong tenderly, and said: "Although he and I are not a formal couple, for more than ten years, we have been better than other formal couples."

down the mountain.

Hong Kang was still thinking about these two people in his mind.

If couples between ordinary people can understand this, how can they fight eight knives and fight with each other all day long? !

In fact, when Hong Kang asked that sentence, he knew that his own knowledge of the relationship between men and women was not as good as that of [Tongbai Shuangqi].

Ask yourself why they don't worship?

In fact, it doesn't matter if they get married or not!
Perhaps it is precisely because they are not married that they can love each other so deeply.

They really want to worship and get married, and receive the marriage documents. Both of them feel that they are a determined couple from now on. If they are careless and negligent, they neglect and treat each other slowly. Isn't it boring to have a lifeless marriage.

It’s not that Zhou Gutong and Wu Baiying are good, it’s because they didn’t get married; it’s not that [Tongbai Shuangqi] who got married is bad.

Marriage is just a formality, what's more important is to have the kind of affection between Zhou Gutong and Wu Baiying.

……

Farewell to the old priest.

Hong Kang embarked on the journey.

Shenjiamen Town is a small town, but it is a famous fishing port.

It is rich in large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, hairtail and cuttlefish.

Hong Kang came here because there is the nearest pier to [Peach Blossom Island].

But Hong Kang didn't know that his inquiring about the location of [Peach Blossom Island] had already fallen into the ears of those who cared...
