Chapter 32 You are old and ugly
"You'll have to ask him yourself."

Zhu Zhentian yawned, and seemed to be going to find a secluded corner to sleep again.

Before Gu Hengsheng could speak, Zhu Zhentian turned around and left.

Gu Hengsheng understood Dugu Shang's temperament very well. If there was nothing important, Dugu Shang would not come to find him himself: "Could it be that something important happened?"

Gu Hengsheng's spiritual consciousness enveloped the fourteen prefectures of the world, and he immediately discovered the location of Dugushang.

There is a village in a star field in the Great Northern State.

This is a very small and remote village, there are only a hundred people living here, all of them are mortals, and it is difficult for them to practice Taoism.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a bamboo house, surrounded by mountains and rivers.

A white figure suddenly appeared outside the bamboo house, extraordinary and refined, like a fairy, and seemed a little out of place with this place.

"You came."

In the courtyard of the bamboo house, a man dressed in coarse linen and holding a hoe was digging the ground and planting vegetables.

To be honest, since Gu Hengsheng had known Dugu Shang for so many years, it was the first time he saw Dugu Shang holding a hoe.Seeing this scene, Gu Hengsheng was stunned for a moment. Is this really the sword master he knew?

"You are looking for me, what's the matter?"

Gu Hengsheng walked into the bamboo house, came to the courtyard, and stared deeply at Dugu Shang.

Dugu Shang withdrew his gaze, continued to dig the ground, and said flatly, "It's all right."

The calmer Dugu Shang was, the more abnormal he became.In the past, no matter what happened, Dugu Shang would always talk to Gu Hengsheng.This time, Dugu Shang's calmness was somewhat scary.

"Miss Wen should be here too!"

With Gu Hengsheng's strength, how could he not know that there was another person in the room?Just out of politeness, Gu Hengsheng didn't use his spiritual sense to explore all directions.

"The young girl has lost her youth, she is not like she used to be, and she is afraid of dirtying the emperor's eyes."

A deep voice came from the room and fell into Gu Hengsheng's ears.

Hearing this, Gu Hengsheng could feel that the life of the owner of the voice was numbered.

Dugushang's confidante is named Wen Ruomei.In the past, Dugushang was fond of wine, and Wen Ruomei made wine for him, named Baihuaniang.At that time, Gu Hengsheng, Fozi and others all tasted the taste of Baihua Niang, and they were full of praise.

"When did Miss Wen's temperament become so gentle? It made me uncomfortable."

I still remember that back then, Wen Ruomei dared to point at Gu Hengsheng and others' noses and accuse them, saying that Gu Hengsheng and others had ruined Dugushang.Of course, that's all anecdotes from the past.

"As you get older, you naturally have to know something."

Wen Ruomei did not leave the bamboo house, unwilling to show her old age.The important thing is that she doesn't want to embarrass Dugu Shang.

Wen Ruomei didn't want to come out, so Gu Hengsheng couldn't force it.Similarly, Gu Hengsheng did not cast any spells to spy on Wen Ruomei's face at this time.

Gu Hengsheng respected both Wen Ruomei and Dugushang.They are all old friends who walked out of the land of a hundred countries together, and the bond between them cannot be described in words.

"Brother Gu, Xiaomei brewed some wine ten years ago. Counting the time, today is just the day to leave the cellar. You just happened to have something to drink."

Dugu Shang said to Gu Hengsheng while digging the ground.

Gu Hengsheng smiled slightly: "Then I'm lucky, I have to have a meal today."

For a person like Gu Hengsheng, ten years is but a blink of an eye.However, for Dugushang and Wen Ruomei, ten years are extremely precious, every day in the past is one day less.

"Sit down and drink tea, and I will come to chat with you after I plant the rapeseed here first."

Dugu Shang lost the power of the sword master who shook the world in the past, and was like an old man in the world, farming without rushing.

Gu Hengsheng sat on the wooden chair in the courtyard, watching Dugu Shang quietly, and he already guessed it in his heart.

An hour later, Dugu Shang planted the rapeseed, and then cooked a few dishes himself, and took out a few jars of fine wine from the wine cellar.

"Xiaomei, come out for dinner."

Dugu Shang prepared everything, and called softly to Wen Ruomei who was in the bamboo house.

"I'm not feeling well today, please treat Mr. Gu well!"

Wen Ruomei refused and did not show up.

The phrase "Young Master Gu" reminded Gu Hengsheng of a time in the Land of Hundred Kingdoms.At that time, Gu Hengsheng had just recovered his sanity in the previous life, and went to Jianxu to practice Taoism, passing a restaurant.

While practicing swords, Gu Hengsheng accidentally destroyed most of the restaurant, and the proprietress of the restaurant yelled.In the ear, Gu Hengsheng seemed to hear the voice of the proprietress again: "Bastard, my restaurant! You have to pay!"

Naturally, the proprietress of that restaurant is Wen Ruomei.

"Since Miss Wen is not feeling well, please take a good rest."

Gu Hengsheng said to the closed bamboo house.

In fact, Gu Hengsheng's heart is like a mirror, he knows that Wen Ruomei has no face to meet him.

Dugu Shang's face was very calm, without any emotional fluctuations.As for Dugu Shang's inner thoughts, that's unknown.

Dugu Shang clinked glasses with Gu Hengsheng and drank in silence.

Gu Hengsheng took a bite of Dugu Shang's stir-fried dishes, and the taste was not bad.Thinking about these years, Dugu Shang has been taking care of Wen Ruomei, enjoying a normal life with Wen Ruomei.

After a long time, Gu Hengsheng put down his wine glass, looked directly at Dugu Shang, and said bluntly, "I can let her live another life."

I, thousands of years.

Gu Hengsheng's promise was not small, and it was because of Dugushang's face and Wen Ruomei's old friend.Wen Ruomei's talent is average, these years Dugushang gave Wen Ruomei a lot of cultivation resources, but none of them improved Wen Ruomei's cultivation much.

It is already a miracle that Wen Ruomei can live to this day.

"More than 30 years ago, I took her to the Tomb of Floating Life. I wanted to let Yaoxian take advantage of you. Although I didn't see you, Yaoxian agreed."

Dugu Shang lowered his eyebrows and whispered.

The Yaoxian is Gu Hengsheng's fifth senior sister, Xiang Ruyu, who is in the same line of alchemy and medicine, and can be called the only one in the world.

"Why then?"

Gu Hengsheng hesitated to speak.

"Xiaomei refused. She said that even if she lived another life, she would still face death. Moreover, she said that she was tired."

Dugu Shang glanced at the bamboo house and murmured.

Dugu Shang pursues the way of swordsmanship, and will not come back to visit Wen Ruomei for many years.All these years, what Wen Ruomei has been doing is brewing wine, looking forward to Dugu Shang's return.

One day, Dugu Shang came back, but Wen Ruomei was old and decrepit, and her life was not long.

Dugushang was heartbroken, counting the years and found that he had practiced Taoism for thousands of years, but he hadn't set aside some time to be with Wen Ruomei.

"I can go to the fairy world, take the things of good fortune, and shape Daogen for it."

Gu Hengsheng promised.

Dugu Shang was not excited, but shook his head very calmly: "No need."

Gu Hengsheng remained silent.

"Her last wish is to let me accompany her on the last journey, the way of practice, she is unwilling to go. In her words, even if she embarks on the road of practice, she can't catch up with me. In the end, I still can only stay where I am and wait for me. Instead of continuing to wait, it is better to enjoy the last warm years."

Dugushang has been sorry to anyone in his life, but Wen Ruomei.

Hearing this, Gu Hengsheng didn't say a word.

This is Wen Ruomei's choice, even if Wen Ruomei's fate is forcibly changed, it will only make her suffer more.Unless, Dugu Shang could go forward with Wen Ruomei, or Dugu Shang put down his sword.

"It's okay." Dugu Shang couldn't help but say something cold, but he didn't know whether he was speaking to himself or Gu Hengsheng.

The sky is getting dark and dusk is approaching.

A full moon began to hang in the sky, and fireflies dotted the darkness, giving this dark world a faint light.

Gu Hengsheng and Dugu Shang sipped a few glasses of wine before leaving.

It has to be said that today's wine was particularly bitter, making it difficult for Gu Hengsheng to swallow.

Involuntarily, Gu Hengsheng thought of his relatives.If you face this situation yourself, how should you deal with yourself?How to solve it?
After Gu Hengsheng left, the door of the bamboo house slowly opened.

An old and decrepit woman came out, her hair was half white, and her face was full of wrinkles.

"How time flies!"

Wen Ruomei walked up to Dugushang's side, instead of hugging her lightly.

Dugu Shang looked at the sea of ​​stars in the distance, his pair of deep eyes were so hollow that people couldn't see through them at all.Can Dugu Shang, who is respected in the way of the sword, really watch Wen Ruomei die of old age in his arms?

"I'm getting older and uglier now."

Wen Ruomei touched her skin and smiled wryly.

Dugu Shang once went to the Yaoxian of the Floating Life Tomb, looking for the method of longevity and the elixir of eternal youth.Yaoxian gave it, but didn't refuse.However, Wen Ruomei did not swallow the elixir.

Wen Ruomei said: "I want to experience the feeling of life, old age, sickness and death, so let me just die of old age!"

Dugu Shang agreed to Wen Ruomei's request, carried Wen Ruomei to this secluded foot of the mountain, and lived a warm and ordinary life.

As soon as Wen Ruomei's words fell, Dugu Shang's body changed dramatically, and many wrinkles appeared on his face, he was dry and not at all handsome: "I'm old now, just like you. "

Looking at the suddenly aged Dugu Shang, Wen Ruomei smiled, as if seeing Dugu Shang for the first time when she was young, so pure and unforgettable.

"It's ugly."

After laughing, Wen Ruomei said coquettishly, and said.

Dugu Shang tightened his hold on Wen Ruomei, and gritted his teeth calmly.

A certain place in the world, a corner that no one knows, is also a forbidden place.

There are some old men and old women living here. On the surface, they all seem to be half-footed into the coffin, some are blind, some are lame.

"Old guys, come out quickly! Today, old man, I picked up another little baby. I don't know who is so cruel, and threw away the baby who hasn't been weaned yet."

An old man walked into a small village with a baby in his arms.
