Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 357: Interesting Old Man

"A song of Xiqin reminds me of the common people. I have lived a life of wandering in the dust for half a lifetime and have become an old man. I am a stranger everywhere in the world, and I am destined to be together on the road of north and south!"

Another man walked into the dilapidated temple in the autumn rain. His white hair and beard fluttered in the wind. He had a kind face but shook his head. He played the zither in his hand and pursed his lips, and his steps were light as if he was drunk!

To put it simply, he is a drunk, weird old man with a white beard playing the Xiqin!

The strange old man glanced at the four people in the dilapidated temple and said:

"Looking for a soulmate in the autumn rain, listening to the singing of a drunk fisherman in the evening! My friends, can you let me in to take shelter from the rain?"

Shen Yichen was depressed again because the other three people all looked at him. As for the reason, the three of them thought that another drunkard had come, and a drunkard’s confidant is of course a drunkard!

"Wine can make you drunk, but people cannot! When you are drunk, you can still know your home, but when you are drunk, you will be homeless!"

Shen Yichen said something that left the other three people stunned!

"People are drunk only when they are drunk. If you have no home, the whole world is your home. People always say that it is hard to find a soulmate. I have been wandering for half my life looking for a soulmate, and it turns out to be a young man. God has been kind to me, but he doesn't know me!"

"Oh my god! You're even more pretentious than me. Come in, Senior!"

Shen Yichen smiled awkwardly. He wanted to pretend that he hadn't gone out, but it was obvious at first glance that this person was a senior master. This was Shen Yichen's first impression, and it was also the first impression of the other three people.

Normal cultivators use their true energy to block rain and snow, but this weird old man just lets the wind and rain hit him, and there is no sign of him getting wet at all!

"Senior? Why am I a senior? Is it because I'm an old man?"

The strange old man flashed over and came to Shen Yichen's side!

"You, you, me, I..."

Shen Yichen didn't know what to say. If not a senior, what else could he be called? Another weird senior!

"You mean to say that you and I are destined to be together, right? I think so too! Since we are destined to be together, how should we treat the relationship between us well?"

The strange old man seemed to have set his sights on Shen Yichen, but Shen Yichen knew the answer to this question!

"drink wine!"

"Ruzi can be taught!"

The strange old man turned around and looked at the three people and said:

"Why are you three so nervous?"

Except for Shen Yichen, the other three people were all surging with true energy at this moment, looking as if they were facing a great enemy. The old man in front of them gave the three people a very strange feeling! He was obviously a cultivator, but they didn't feel it at all. If he hadn't flashed in, he would have looked like an ordinary old man playing the Xiqin.

"We are all young people, learn from them and take it easy! You are all cultivators, but you treat me, a weird old man playing the Xiqin, as if you were facing a formidable enemy. It's a pity that your cultivation level is so low, and your mind is not at peace. Look at this young man, his cultivation level is the lowest, but his state of mind is like the sky in the rain, like the song in the music, without any waves or disturbances!"

After the strange old man finished speaking, he leaned against a pillar in the same posture as Shen Yichen, with one leg on the ground and the other leg bent with his foot against the pillar.

It's not that Shen Yichen wasn't nervous, he was so scared that he couldn't move. At this moment, his back was soaked with cold sweat. The strange old man stared at Shen Yichen when he came in.

"Little brother, didn't you say drinking makes good connections?"

The strange old man looked at Shen Yichen with a smile.

Shen Yichen retracted his dull gaze. He felt very confused. It was obvious that this strange old man had no cultivation at all, but he was inexplicably nervous. The other three people were obviously the same!

Shen Yichen took the opportunity to get the wine and wiped his hands on his clothes. They were all sweaty!

"Give!"

Shen Yichen threw a pot of wine to the strange old man, and he also took a sip of wine to calm down! He didn't know what to call this person!

The strange old man took a sip and said unsatisfactorily:

"The wine isn't very good!"

"What's up with you three? Are you planning to have a fight? If you're not drinking, just do what you need to do. Why are you staring at me like that? Even though I'm handsome, I'm too old to mess around with other girls!"

Shen Yichen was really depressed! After the masked Yuyao and the other two finished their work, they all walked to the pillar he was leaning against!

"No, you guys, what are you doing? We just got to know each other over a drink, why are you so nervous?"

Shen Yichen didn't want to be the focus, even if the three of them could distract the strange old man's attention!

"Oh my! Do I look like a bad guy?"

The strange old man looked at the three people, feeling helpless.

There is no way, mainly because the strange old man's appearance was too strange. He did not come from the rain, but more like from the sound, the sound of the Xiqin. When the sound of the Xiqin's "Drunken Fisherman Singing at Dusk" reached the ruined temple, this strange old man appeared. It was too weird!

"Little brother, you don't think I'm a bad guy, and you're afraid too, right?"

The strange old man turned his gaze to Shen Yichen again, but he just couldn't see through him. He was very surprised that with his level of cultivation, he couldn't see through the cultivation level of the youngster!

"Let's drink. Whether you are a bad guy or a good guy has nothing to do with me! There is no need for me to be afraid of you. You and I are just people who met by chance and are hiding from the rain together."

Shen Yichen didn't want to have anything to do with the weird old man.

"Little brother, what should I call you?"

"You've spoken out of turn. Since we just met by chance, why do we need to know each other?"

Shen Yichen didn't know how to address this strange old man, so he didn't bother to address him. He also didn't dare to call him "senior"!

"Haha, interesting, little brother, you are really interesting, come and have a drink!"

Outside the ancient temple, it was raining heavily. Inside the temple, people were drinking wine slowly. Although the masked Yu Yao and the other two stopped practicing their skills, they did not leave Shen Yichen.

Shen Yichen was really speechless. He accepted that the weird old man had set his sights on him, but these three people were still clinging to him. What the hell was going on? "

In the sea of ​​knowledge, he asked:

"Sister Qing, these three people are sick! No, these four people are all sick!"

But Sister Qing did not answer.

Shen Yichen was not happy with the wine, but he could only drink with them from time to time. The atmosphere in the dilapidated temple was a bit weird because no one spoke.

Shen Yichen and the other three probably thought that they would leave when the rain stopped. As for the strange old man, that was unknown! He had been investigating Shen Yichen because he didn't know why he couldn't see through him!

Shen Yichen slowly returned to normal, and in his sea of ​​consciousness:

"Sister Qing, I finally recovered. This person put too much pressure on me!"

Sister Qing still ignored Shen Yichen!

The masked Yu Yao's consciousness responded:

"This person's cultivation has reached the state of returning to nature. It feels almost the same as my master's!"

"Little brother, this is interesting!"

"what do you mean?"

The strange old man shook his head.

Sister Qing sighed in her heart:

"You two idiots, when it's unclear who's the enemy, can't you communicate in your sea of ​​consciousness? Alas, you are still too young!"

"Where are you going, little brother?"

"You are very rude. We are just strangers passing by in the rain. We are not familiar with each other at all. Why are you asking me where I am going?"

Shen Yichen was really scared in his heart, but he refused to give in!

"Little brother, you are really interesting!"

After the strange old man finished speaking, he stopped looking at the few people. He probably felt that he had put too much pressure on them! He sat on the ground, put the wine aside, and played the Xiqin in his hand, still the song "Drunk Fisherman Singing at Dusk"!

Shen Yichen suddenly asked:

"Are you the man who sells sheet music in Yuyang County?"

After saying this, Shen Yichen himself felt that it was wrong, because if it was that person, he should not not recognize him! But there were only two copies of the score of "Drunken Fish Singing at Dusk", one for him and one for the masked Yuyao!

Shen Yichen’s idea was indeed correct. There were indeed only two copies of "Drunken Fisherman Singing at Dusk" in the world. So why did the strange old man know this music score?

Because he is the creator of "Drunken Fish Singing at Dusk"! It's just that Shen Yichen doesn't know it.

The reason why the strange old man came here was because he heard the song "Drunken Fisherman Singing at Dusk". What's more interesting is that the strange old man also came from Manghuang, but he went to Yanquan for a visit in the middle.

It is said that music can reach people’s hearts and understand human nature!

Shen Yichen, Shen Jinfei and the masked Yu Yao were really relaxing their guard little by little, because the weird old man didn't have any malicious intent in the song. Only Brother Ye was still looking at the weird old man with a wary look on his face.

After the strange old man finished playing a song, he turned around and said to the two girls with a smile:

"Girls, why don't you sing a song together? Isn't the song "Drunken Fisherman Singing at Dusk" just right for the twilight of a rainy night?"

Masked Yuyao and Shen Jinfei looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Masked Yuyao finally left Shen Yichen and sat next to the piano!

"Wait, let me come too!"

After Shen Yichen finished speaking, he took out the purple jade flute from the storage bag. This storage bag was his original one, which Shen Jinfei returned to him because the masked Yu Yao bought Shen Jinfei a new storage bag for girls. Shen Yichen's storage bag was too tacky!

The moment Shen Yichen took out the purple jade flute, a flash of surprise flashed in the strange old man's eyes! Several people did not notice it.

In the twilight, a chorus of "Drunken Fisherman Singing at Dusk" was heard in the dilapidated temple!

Brother Ye shouted in his heart with an angry look on his face:

“I want to learn drums!”
