Bodhi

When Li Yuan received the edict of Emperor Hong's summoning, Su Xuechan was still flipping through the ancient books in the study, concentrating on making annotations.

I don't know whether it was out of concern about Su Xuechan's situation, or Li Yuan's beast-like intuition sensed something, he was still unwilling to tell Su Xuechan the specific situation of the third condition. Do not move.Su Xuechan didn't dare to reveal the intentions in his words too much, lest Li Yuan would become suspicious, so he could only bury himself in the pile of books, hoping that those ancient classics could give him some guidance.

The only thing is, Li Yuan was inseparable from him in the first place, and after the incident of him being assassinated by Feng Beilie, now they are even tighter.After being separated for a while, they wanted to come in to see what he was doing. Afterwards, Su Xuechan couldn't bear the trouble, so they had to make three chapters with him, so that he could only look for him once an hour. Although Li Yuan was reluctant, seeing Su Xuechan talking After seeing a stern expression, he still reluctantly agreed.

Su Xuechan held a roll of bamboo slips engraved with gold and stone in his hand, and was struggling to read the blunt words on it. There was also a dictionary comparing the languages ​​of ancient books on the side. When Li Yuan walked in, his forehead was slightly sweaty, and he didn't listen at all. He was awakened suddenly when he heard the sound of the robe brushing the ground, or Li Yuan called his name, and turned to look at him as if startled.

"Why..." His throat was dry, and he couldn't help coughing, "What's wrong? It didn't mean an hour..."

Li Yuan held up the golden brocade-embroidered decree in his hand, his eyes were heavy, and there was even a hint of displeasure.

"Emperor Hong's call."

Su Xuechan was startled, and couldn't help repeating: "The Dihong family summoned you? What did he call you for?"

"It's not me," Li Yuan said, "it's us."

Su Xuechan was even more confused.

He looked at Li Yuan, as if he hadn't recovered from the book, the confusion these days had finally reached its peak today, he turned around and put the bamboo slips back to their original place.

When did Emperor Hongshi summon him?In the memory of his previous life, he had never communicated directly with Emperor Hongshi, and he did not know when he had summoned him by name.He has been carefully thinking about these days, whether it is the words of Emperor Wa dissuading him by the Nanke Sea, the dream of Feng Beilie's deviation, or the three conditions that Li Yuan made to him, now Dihong's Sudden summons...all filled with a strange sense of detachment.

Emperor Wa said that the results that have already happened cannot be changed, but the memories of the past life she showed him are slightly different from the present; Li Yuan said that the results that have happened cannot be changed, but he immediately told himself the three conditions for change ...

He searched all over the ancient books, but he couldn't find the mystery of time and the key to breaking through reincarnation. However, he knew in his heart that one of the carriages advancing on the two parallel tracks had already deviated from the original plan.

"Li Yuan." He called softly, "...I want to ask you something."

He stood between the tall floor-to-ceiling bookcases, a ray of sunlight leaking from layers of barriers fell on his snow-white face, like a golden thread scattered, lighting up his originally clear pupils, the black sandalwood carving His burly cabinet is like mountains, surrounding his bewildered spring.

At that moment, Li Yuan suddenly felt that he had become smaller, like a key, a traveler walking on the vast wilderness, searching for the keyhole of the ultimate gate, the answer of eternal time in the long and lonely walk.

"How...how did you know those three conditions?" He pursed his dry lips, and looked at Li Yuan beggingly, "Tell me."

Li Yuan couldn't refuse the request he made with this look.

Looking at his inexplicably stubborn lover, he couldn't help but stepped forward to hug him, and said in a low voice, "Why do you insist on this matter so far?"

He sighed and said, "This is just a guess."

Su Xuechan swallowed her hoarse and stinging throat, and lay silently in Li Yuan's arms, sniffing the deep and deep breath on his body.

"In the early years, the sages discussed the Tao, and all the immortals watched. A sage saw the turmoil in the world below, so he asked a question that was almost out of the blue."

"He said, 'One peck and one drink, Suguolanyin, all living beings are troubled by irreversible choices. If there is one way that can go back in time and change the beginning, can it make all living beings happy and free from evil obstacles?' "

Su Xuechan immediately subconsciously said: "This is impossible."

Not to mention how many choices a person makes in this life, just say the word "Ruyi", how many people can escape from the never-satisfied desire?

Li Yuan laughed. He lightly rubbed Su Xuechan's black and smooth long hair, nodded and said, "Yes, that's why I said this is a fairy tale. But it was the time when all sentient beings were new to the concept of cultivating the Tao. , Finding a way to go back in time and cut off the karma of the world of mortals is equivalent to establishing a shortcut to ascend to immortality, so it also caused a lot of discussion at that time."

"Are these three conditions the assumption made at that time?"

"That's right." Li Yuan nodded, "It's just the first condition, you need a sage to escort you; the second condition, the great merit is not the cabbage sold on the street, you can pick one up casually ;The third condition is even more nonsense, what is the key person, what is the use if he knows it? mentioned."

Su Xuechan sighed and didn't speak any more.

The key is broken in the wrong door lock, and the destination that the traveler sees is only a meaningless mirage, and he still has to trudge on.

He muffled: "Okay, I see."

He looked up at Li Yuan's gentle golden eyes, and said with force: "Then shall we leave now?"

After hearing his question, Li Yuan's expression suddenly sank, his gaze was like a sharp cold blade, calmly, he glanced at the Xuan brocade and silk book which he put aside.

"No, if you don't go, just stay at home."

Su Xuechan raised her eyes unexpectedly: "Why?"

But Li Yuan didn't want to say any more, his eyes were as dark as the sea, and there was a gloomy killing intent, pressing against his chest, besides the steady heartbeat, Su Xuechan could also faintly hear the Kunwu sparrow twitching in the scabbard There was a beating sound, Jin Ge was dumb, and the crisis was ups and downs.

Su Xuechan suddenly realized why Emperor Hongshi summoned them.

"He knows that Feng Beilie is hiding in Dongyi," Su Xuechan said, "Then he summoned us because of the Chi in my body..."

"Shhh." Li Yuan stretched out his long finger, pressed on Su Xuechan's lips, and pressed his unspoken words to the tip of his tongue, "Don't say, don't say a word."

Su Xuechan could tell that he was enduring the anger in his heart, but the anger was not directed at him, but at Emperor Hongshi, at the immortals above the nine heavens, and even at himself.

Su Xuechan’s chest was sealed with the heart and blood of a dragon. Anyone who knows a little about the battle of chasing the deer knows what it means. Qian Panhuan guarded Li Yuan, an evil dragon that wanted to devour people, but if there were turmoil everywhere, how long could Li Yuan resist the power headed by Emperor Hong's clan?

In the memory that Zhu Jiuyin let him see, Li Yuan forcibly brought him to Buzhou Mountain, wanting him to stay away from this catastrophe that could only end with his own fall... He used to think it was just Li Yuan's selfishness, but now It seems that there may not be no Dihong's secret support.

An emperor who caused war to break out because he indulged his subordinates, a monarch who is eager to make up for his mistakes... How can others guess what he can do?

Thinking of this, he grabbed Li Yuan's sleeve with his backhand and insisted: "Take me with you."

Li Yuan was about to categorically refuse, when Su Xuechan continued: "I understand what the Dihong family wants, but this is not something that can be avoided by escaping. If you can kill Master Fengboyu, then everyone will be happy, but what if you can't? Hidden dangers are always there, and dangers to me will always be there, instead of this, why not take me and let me go with you."

A gleam of light trembled in Li Yuan's pupils, and soon disappeared. He whispered: "...you know it all."

"Of course I know." Su Xuechan smiled, but his heart was extremely bitter, because he knew that Master Feng Boyu would not end their mission now, and he would leave him in this life after all, and throw himself into the embrace of death. "I'm not stupid."

Seeing that Li Yuan's expression was still frozen, he couldn't help wrapping his arms around Li Yuan's neck, and said with a smile as if nothing had happened: "Okay, take me there! Let me also go to the Nine Heavens Golden Luan to learn a lot. ,OK?"

He is holding Li Yuan's slender fingers with well-defined joints, and there are still thin calluses on them that have been holding knives all year round. His palm is not as big as Li Yuan's, but it can be entwined with his fingers, and the skin and heat are inseparably fused together.He held these hands, once and for all, as if pinching Li Yuan's heart, "Is it okay?"

Li Yuan stared at him for a long time. He could sweep and trample past giant polar beasts and thousands of troops without fear, but when he saw the little whirlpool on the lips of the person in front of him when he laughed, his heart trembled and his hands softened. There is only one way to lose your helmet and armor, and lose to Chuncheng.

Every time he showed such helpless eyes, Su Xuechan knew that he had won, and he laughed loudly, while Li Yuan picked up the Xuan brocade and silk book on the table, picked him up with one hand and walked out, angrily as he walked Scolded: "Little enemy, I really owed you in my previous life!"

Once again, they carried the giant chariot that rose from the bottom of the sea, and flew towards the sky, but this time, there was no boy in the form of a sea monster around, but the murderous Donghuang Dragonriders; It's not the palace of mother-in-law who sings and dances to promote peace, but the nine-day golden throne full of dangers.

It's just that Su Xuechan has no time to enjoy the scenery above Qingxiao by himself.As soon as he and Li Yuan stepped on the thick and soft cloud, there were servants standing on both sides of the front, eagerly welcoming them, and leading them to the magnificent main hall ahead.

When discussing important matters, it is always better to be a man at the beginning of the feast of wine and meat. This point, both Li Yuan and Su Xuechan, are very clear in their hearts.Therefore, as soon as Su Xuechan saw that there were many immortals in the golden palace, and some of them were even familiar faces, he knew that today's trial for Dihong's family would be difficult.

With a glance, the faces of gods such as Rushou Goumang were all hidden in the surge of purple air and golden light, but they didn't see the figures of the sea gods, so it must be because Hu Yu and others are ancient gods, and they don't have to be forced to accept them. Shi's constraints.

He was sitting next to Li Yuan, and while he was picking at the delicacies on the jade plate, he was chattering among the audience, discussing what the intentions of the remnants of Jiuli were, and how to do it next.He listened to it for a while, and felt greatly disappointed. In Su Xuechan's vision, not to mention the careful planning of such an occasion, the discussion of all the people present would have something to say, but what he heard was all meaningless The machine striker goes around in circles.

In front of Li Yuan, they could only shirk each other's excuses, not daring to reveal their true intentions.

The palm under Li Yuan's table was hot, and it was close to his skin, giving off a reassuring warmth.

The discussion during the banquet finally came to an end, and Xiangong Jia'e slid into the layers of clouds and mist with melodious music. At this moment, a deep voice suddenly came from Su Xuechan's ear: "Yinglong God, come with me alone."

Su Xuechan's heart trembled, and his drooping eyelashes trembled uncontrollably. Just as he was about to turn his head, he saw Li Yuan put down the wine cup calmly, and whispered in his ear: "I'll go out for a while, you just sit here Wait, wait for me."

Su Xuechan was taken aback for a moment, but Li Yuan kissed the corner of his lips, then got up and walked towards the back of the hall, the black robe brushed against the falling petals beside the table, rustling.

What is Dihong doing?He obviously only called Li Yuan, why did he let him hear it?

Apart from his worries, he was also worried about what Emperor Hongshi would say to Li Yuan, which would make him angry and do something irreversible. Seeing the misty clouds at the banquet, Xian'e's gauze was singing with music. Flying in the sky, no one should notice him, so he stooped quietly and followed Li Yuan's previous direction in a swift motion.

After Li Yuan instructed him to stay where he was, he left his seat dishonestly as soon as he left his front foot, and he was not at all afraid that Li Yuan would be angry about it.

"If you're angry, you're used to it..." He muttered, and at the same time, he picked up a cluster of snow-white camellias on the jade vase on the table to cover his face, and slipped out of the banquet as if stealing the bell.

As soon as he walked out of the Golden Palace, there was a scene of flowers blooming like brocade, and the garden was full of spring scenery. Su Xuechan was holding a handful of snow-white camellias in his hand. When he didn't know where to look for the way, he saw a graceful figure Passing by in front of him, he hurried over and smiled at the woman dressed as a maid: "Excuse me, girl, did you see someone passing by just now? He is dressed in black and is very tall..."

The young man in front of him had a handsome face, clear pupils, a warm and soft smile, and was holding a bouquet of white-petaled camellias in his hand, which made the maid stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, she quickly smiled and said, "Are you His Highness Bodhi? Ying Longshen went to the direction of the side hall, Your Highness, please come with the servant girl."

Su Xuechan breathed a sigh of relief: "So, thank you girl."

He followed the maid, zigzag through the fragrant sea of ​​flowers, and after going around several times, he finally saw the exquisite building not far away. The maid turned around and said, "Please allow the maid to pass on the message to His Highness..."

"No, no, no," Su Xuechan hastily stopped him. He came here secretly, so he couldn't pass it on. "No, I'll just wait for him here. Thank you, Miss, for bringing me here."

The maid bowed slightly and said with a light smile, "Your Highness is too polite."

Su Xuechan didn't have anything to give, only this handful of camellia tea in his hand, so he smiled and held it up to the maid, saying: "I'm sorry, I don't have anything to thank, let's talk about giving a bouquet of jade tea, thank you girl .”

The fragrant wind is melting, the petals are flying, the young man's shoulders and hair are like wearing a suit of stars and bright moon, the maid is holding the camellia, looking at his tall and straight back, she is stunned for a moment, unable to return to her senses for a long time .

Su Xuechan stood quietly outside the window of Xiaozhu, listening carefully to the voices coming from inside. He is a tree-like person, and the lush flowers and plants here are more conducive to him easily blending his breath into it, making it difficult for people to detect.

A faint voice came from inside.

"...Yinglongshen, if the remnant of Chiyou survives for a day, he will always have the possibility of making a comeback. You and I both know that the Binglord is not an easy enemy to deal with, let alone Master Feng Boyu who has been pardoned for his sins... ..."

——It’s Emperor Hong’s family.
