There were no guests in the restaurant except Xu Shan and Zhang Biao.

A few small dishes were served, and Xu Shan took out the top spirit wine from his collection, poured a glass for Zhang Biao, and another for himself.

This was not the first time the two had been drinking in Erbaili.

The dishes were usually left untouched, just for show.

After all, the food of ordinary people was too coarse, and neither of them liked it.

Every round was a pure wine round.

Zhang Biao took the wine glass and drank it all, and said happily: "Good wine, the more you drink, the better it tastes. Master Xu, your stock is running low, let's go back to the north next and replenish it."

"Yeah." Xu Shan drank it all and poured the wine.

He drank it all again and poured more wine.

After four consecutive cups, Zhang Biao only drank two.

Seeing Xu Shan preparing to drink the fifth cup, Zhang Biao waved his hand and said: "That... Master Xu, drink less, you can't stand this wine."

Xu Shan raised his eyes and glanced at him, and continued to pour wine and drink.

"Uh... Master Xu, say something, just drink! It's boring."

"What? I've seen everything you've seen, and you won't understand what I've seen even if I tell you."

Sentences choked him to death, Zhang Biao couldn't drink or put down the wine glass.

Finally, he laughed dryly: "Then tell me something I haven't seen. If I don't understand, won't I understand it if you tell me?"

"Tsk." The eighth glass of wine stopped at his lips. After a pause, he squatted down on the wine glass and smiled drunkenly, "Okay! Then I'll tell you."

After that, Xu Shan picked up the wine pot and filled Zhang Biao's glass.

Zhang Biao held the wine glass, but as soon as he looked away from the wine glass, a strange and slightly familiar voice came into his ears.

The original simple restaurant has disappeared, replaced by a street cafe.

Surrounded by high-rise buildings and roaring traffic!

Zhang Biao was stunned and suddenly realized something.

This is Master Xu's home, the world of the inner demon...He used the phantom blood!

Xu Shan leaned back on the plastic chair, looking at Zhang Biao with drunken eyes and a smile: "How is it? Is it beautiful?"

"Mr. Xu, your body can't bear the pressure of the phantom blood now, don't be impulsive..." Zhang Biao said hurriedly, but was quickly interrupted by Xu Shan.

"Don't say too much, just enjoy it. This blood is not very useful to keep. I think it's best to use it today." Xu Shan laughed, "I'll treat you to something good."

After he finished speaking, a waiter appeared, holding two trays and placed them in front of the two of them.

Zhang Biao looked at the waiter, then looked around, swallowed his saliva and said, "Master Xu... Why do people here have no face?"

"I dare not think about it, and I dare not forget it... It's like this." Xu Shan knocked on the table and pointed at the tray, "Hey, try it! I used to eat this at work."

"This is called the Non-Vegetarian King. I remember that the set meal was 18 yuan per serving, with fries and Coke. Later, the price increased, and a burger alone was more than 20 yuan... If it weren't for the meat, I would have eaten ramen a long time ago."

Zhang Biao picked up the burger and ate it silently.

"Is it delicious?"

"Delicious..."

Xu Shan snapped his fingers, and another waiter appeared and brought two cups of coffee.

"Starbucks, try it."

"Hmm..." Zhang Biao nodded repeatedly, picked up the coffee and poured it into his mouth.

He drank it in one gulp, with a painful expression: "Why is it bitter?"

"Tsk! Are you uneducated? This is called iced Americano. Bitter ones are high-end, and sweet ones are not high-end." Xu Shan rummaged through his pockets and took out a Nestle 3-in-1 and shook it, "This is sweet, I used to drink this."

"This doesn't look like something to drink..."

"You have to make it with hot water."

Xu Shan conjured up a cup of hot water out of thin air, made a cup of instant coffee and pushed it to Zhang Biao.

Zhang Biao tasted it and nodded: "Well! This tastes better than the bitter one..."

"You are really poor... Then don't drink the bitter one and give it to me, don't waste it." Xu Shan took the coffee in front of Zhang Biao and poured most of the cup into his mouth. The intense spicy feeling filled his mouth.

Then he held the coffee cup and began to stare blankly....The corners of his eyes were slightly wet.

Zhang Biao slowly put down the food in his hand and said carefully: "Master Xu... do you miss home?"

Xu Shan did not move, opened his mouth... paused for a moment, and said slowly and softly: "You should know... I am not from this world."

Zhang Biao's eyes were filled with worry.

"Before I came to this world, everything disappeared right after I arrived... It disappeared completely." Xu Shan looked up at the sky and sighed, "Sometimes I wonder if I hadn't drunk that day, and hadn't worked overtime... Would I have died with the others?"

"But fate played tricks on me. Not only did I survive, but I also took another path... A path that made me more outstanding. I was originally a confused little monk who wanted to go home and reunite with my family... I could lower my standards infinitely, so that in the end, even if I couldn't return to my hometown, as long as I could take a look, I would be willing. In fact, this world is more attractive to me than my hometown."

"But I didn't expect that everything would be destroyed in the end..." Xu Shan turned sideways to Zhang Biao, lowered his head, and a tear ran down his cheek, but his voice was still steady, "This is a result I can't accept. Everything I cherish and everything in my memory has been destroyed."

"I was mentally traumatized and went mad, you should remember clearly... But after I woke up that time, I made up my mind. At that time, I had achieved some success. As long as I continued on the path of cultivation, I believed that with my supreme and profound magic power, I could turn everything around. I could reach the extreme! Even beyond the extreme!"

"You may ask, why do I give myself such a heavy burden, why don't I look back, isn't this behavior as stupid as a savage moving mountains?"

"But you don't understand, a man can abandon his dignity, abandon his demeanor, abandon his life, but he can't abandon his responsibilities, especially when it comes to love and the whole world. For this reason, I can hide the pain and loneliness in my heart and endure all the hardships, even if the responsibility is my own. Imposed on myself. "

Xu Shan raised his cup, took a sip of spicy coffee, and continued to talk to himself: "A monk is always young... My passion and attitude are as high as a teenager. I firmly believe that I will be like this all my life. I imagine myself as a savior, a lone hero. All difficulties are not to be feared in my eyes, and I will eventually achieve my goal. "

"But I was wrong..." Xu Shan's facial muscles began to relax, his expression became dull, and his speech slowed down. "It turns out that I will also age, and I will age very badly... My heart is no longer young, and I am unable to solve the current problems. I even began to constantly suggest to myself that I can just muddle along..."

"Zhang Biao... Do you think I can make it to the end?" Xu Shan asked for the umpteenth time in a daze.

"You can." Zhang Biao answered firmly for the umpteenth time.

"I ask you... Is life and death considered God's will?"

"Yes, but what exactly is God's will..."

"Then explain to me, what does it mean that destiny is hard to defy! ?" Xu Shan raised his eyes, and the murderous light in his eyes was revealed!
