The Taoist said that he wanted to regret the marriage!

Li Zhoumian lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "I had a dream, and many things happened in the dream... I miss you, Lin Zhou."

Under the candlelight, Li Zhoumian hugged Lin Xunzhou, and gently buried him on his shoulder.Lin Xunzhou was stiff all over and was slightly taken aback.

He could feel Li Zhoumian's body temperature, and his warm breath gently sweeping over his neck.This moment seems to have passed for a long time, but it is actually only a short moment.

The candlelight made a "crackling" sound, and both of them woke up suddenly.Li Zhoumian let go of his hand suddenly, and took two steps back, as if everything that happened just now was just an illusion.

Li Zhoumian lowered his arms, and Lin Xunzhou stood where he was.The two looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly looked away at the same time, and said in unison:

"You're back?"

"I am back."

"..."

Li Zhoumian touched his nose in embarrassment, finally turned around and closed the door, walked to the bed and sat down: "Just now I...cough, don't take it to heart, I, I, I, I was talking nonsense."

Lin Xunzhou didn't speak, but let out a low "oh" for a while.

The air in the room became silent, Lin Xunzhou was sitting beside Li Zhoumian, and was trying to find something to talk about, when he suddenly heard Li Zhoumian's voice next to his ear: "Linzhou, do you know what I dreamed about?"

Lin Xunzhou turned his head to look at him, and found that Li Zhoumian was already lying on his back on the bed, staring at the bed curtain.

Li Zhoumian covered her lips, coughed twice, and said in a low voice, "I dreamed about you, and... when I was young."

Lin Xunzhou sensed an inexplicable emotion hidden in his voice, so he said softly, "What were you like when you were young?"

"...I didn't live very happily." Li Zhoumian shifted his eyes to Lin Xunzhou, "I rarely went out when I was young, I was often sick, and I didn't have any friends."

Lin Xunzhou was startled, and gently put his hand on his palm: "You have it now."

Li Zhoumian smiled, closed his eyes, and held Lin Xunzhou's hand.

The blue lantern in the backyard of Nanyan Building can evoke the deepest thoughts in the heart. The more obsessed, the harder it is to get rid of.Some people have a perfect state of mind, and the illusion is self-defeating; some people have deep delusions, trapped in illusion, and cannot extricate themselves.

Li Zhoumian knew that he hadn't really walked out of this illusion.He just forcibly broke through and returned to reality, but thousands of thoughts were still trapped in his heart.As long as you close your eyes, the scenes in the illusion are still echoing in your mind.

Like a shadow, it gets deeper and deeper.Can't see through, can't understand, can't get rid of.

Regardless of his disregard, he wanted to return to Lingcheng even after leaving Yunzhou behind, because when he was by Linzhou's side, he could come out of his memories and gain a sense of peace.

The huge Yanwang Mansion is not as reassuring as a small inn in Lingcheng.

..................

Mingzong, Yi Chuan Yu was sitting in the council hall, holding a cup of tea in one hand and propping his face in the other, as if he would sit here forever.

Before Yichuanyu was entrusted by Lin Xunzhou to pay attention to the movement of the Great Elder.So he fulfilled his duty and completed it meticulously.The Great Elder was working in the meeting hall, so he leaned over to "help". In fact, he didn't read a single page, but drank two pots of tea.

The Great Elder didn't care either. After reading a volume, he put his things aside and looked at Yichuanyu with a smile: "Does the hall master need refreshments? Why don't you send someone to bring some up?"

Yichuanyu smiled slightly: "No need, I just sit around and chat with you."

The Great Elder's face remained unchanged: "It's fine to chat, what does the hall master want to talk about?"

It doesn't matter what Yichuan Yuxin wants to talk about, it's just an excuse.He said casually: "What do you think of the royal family's desire to marry?"

The Great Elder smiled: "The suzerain's marriage contract naturally depends on the suzerain's opinion. I think the suzerain will not be too happy about Li Shizi's divorce first."

"The Great Elder doesn't seem to like Li Shizi very much." Yichuanyu raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Great Elder didn't hide it either: "This old man really has a grudge against Li Shizi."

Yichuan Yu took a sip of his tea, and when he heard the answer from the Great Elder, he suddenly remembered something.

"I heard that when the old suzerain made the marriage contract between the suzerain and Li Shizi, the great elder strongly opposed it."

The Great Elder nodded lightly: "It's true. The hall master is not very old, and he doesn't know much about some old things. Li Zhoumian really makes me feel uneasy."

Yichuan Yu let out a "huh" and put on a posture of listening attentively.

The Great Elder sighed: "Everyone in the world knows that Li Zhoumian was born in the stage of becoming a god; but why no one doubts why he was born like this—you must know that from ancient times to the present, there has never been a precedent for becoming a god."

Yi Chuanyu paused the hand holding the teacup, staring into the eyes of the Great Elder: "What does the Great Elder mean?"

"There has never been a natural stage of becoming a god in the world," the elder said solemnly, "Li Zhoumian was born as a god, but it was not due to God's favor, but because of external forces."

"He was carefully forged by the royal family and the whole country... a weapon of the transformation stage."

Yichuanyu did not speak, and the meeting hall fell into silence for a while.

After a while, he put the tea cup in his hand on the table, and the porcelain bottom knocked against the table, making a crisp sound.

"Weapon?" Yichuan Yu said in a deep voice, "Are you saying that Li Zhoumian is not human?"

The Great Elder shook his head: "He is a human being, but he cannot be treated as an ordinary person."

"Back when the demons invaded, the old man died in battle, and among the younger generation of disciples, there were no outstanding students. The hall master should know that at that time, seeing that there were no successors in the cultivation world, the royal family and the Mingzong were very worried about this."

"Fortunately, Mingzong finally found a worthy successor, that is Sect Master Lin; while the royal family took the risk and used a secret treasure 'Mending the Sky Jade' that has been treasured for thousands of years, using the blood of the royal family as a guide to exchange A person who was born in the stage of transforming into a god is the current Li Shizi."

The Great Elder stroked his beard, shook his head and said, "Li Shizi was not the biological son of Princess Yan back then, but was born into the world after the fusion of the 'Mending Sky Jade' and the blood of the royal family... But these things are done very secretly, except There are very few old people in those days, and no one knows now."

Yichuanyu never thought that there would be such a past event.After a long silence, he said: "Even so, Li Shizi is now a pillar of my cultivation world, so why care about his background? Why doesn't the Great Elder like it?"

The Great Elder closed his eyes and sighed: "The hall master doesn't know. Although the royal family had tried their best back then, they had limited manpower and it was difficult to achieve perfection. After Li Shizi was born, he was silent, his feelings were weak, and his feelings were empty. Divine cultivation, but can't control it. And..."

The Great Elder paused for a moment before continuing: "Besides, he is congenitally deficient. The fusion between the 'Beautiful Jade' in his body and the blood of the royal family is not perfect, and there will be conflicts from time to time. It is inevitable that he will suffer from angina. I am afraid that he will not be able to live past two hundred years."

The so-called life and death are difficult, and fate is involuntary, so it is.

"He is a failed work of the royal family," the elder said with some regret, "and he is the incarnation of Tianyu. He didn't understand emotions when he was born. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is cold-hearted. Although it is not obvious on the surface, who knows that What is he thinking in his heart? He really thinks wholeheartedly for the sake of the cultivation world? I still don't believe it."

Speaking of the last word, the voice of the Great Elder became cold.

"..."

Yichuan Yu listened in a daze, and didn't speak for a while.

Outside the meeting hall, there was a lot of fine snow, and the cold fragrance of red plums blew into the hall.Yichuanyu's heart was a little heavy. He remembered the fate he had with Li Zhoumian a few days ago.

Yichuanyu pursed his lips tightly, he thought, he always felt that Li Shizi was not an indifferent person.But what he felt was groundless, and in the end he didn't know how to refute it, and fell into silence.

..................

In Lingcheng, Li Tianmian was lying on his back, gently holding Lin Xunzhou's hand.

Lin Xunzhou watched him for a while, and finally lay down on the bed beside Li Zhoumian.

Li Zhoumian closed his eyes, hearing the sound of wind and rain, and Lin Xunzhou's breathing.In this small inn, his heart is very peaceful, and there is a kind of peace that he has not experienced for many years.

Li Zhoumian smiled lightly.He suddenly had a desire to confide in him. For so many years, he had never spoken to anyone.

He wanted to say it, so he did.

"During this period of time in Lingcheng, I was really happy. I have rarely been so relaxed since I was a child. Linzhou, you know, when I was a child... they all respected me and feared me, and never got close to me."

"I'm sad, but they can't understand my sadness... It's like treating me like a wooden doll without emotion. At that time, I didn't understand anything, and I didn't know how to express my sad emotions. In the end, I had to learn I laughed. As long as I was smiling, no one knew what I was thinking."

"Sometimes I am in pain, but they don't know, or don't care... You may not believe it, but there are not many people who worry about me and give me medicine. They think I am not an ordinary person, and I have all kinds of diseases. It’s really hard to feel better on your own.”

Li Zhoumian didn't open his eyes, he could feel Lin Xunzhou's hand clenched his hand a little bit, the palms pressed against each other, and there was a slight warmth.

Li Zhoumian coughed lightly, then took a breath, and continued, "I'm not in good health, so I can't go out. No one around me dares to talk to me. I'm alone on the bed. I woke up and fell asleep. Waking up, the most exaggerated time, when I was sleeping, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and when I woke up, it was already snowing. Only then did I know that I had slept for three full years...cough cough..."

When Li Zhoumian said the last sentence, he laughed and coughed. He pressed his throat with one hand and tried to slow down his breathing. He wanted to cover up his injury and didn't want Linzhou to worry about him.Suddenly he felt that someone's eyes were on him, very focused.

Li Zhoumian subconsciously opened his eyes and found Lin Xunzhou lying on his side, staring at him without blinking.

Oops, I couldn't hold back for a while, I talked too much.It was all because the atmosphere was so good, he relaxed as soon as he saw Lin Zhou, and couldn't help but say things he wouldn't normally say.

Li Zhoumian opened his mouth, and finally said with some annoyance: "Look what I'm talking about, oh, I'm talking nonsense, don't take it to heart. If you can sleep for three years, you're still not human..."

Li Zhoumian also turned over and lay face to face with Lin Xunzhou, restraining the pain caused by the injury, said with a smile in his eyes, "I was just joking, just to tease you."

Lin Xunzhou looked at him seriously, and shook his head for a while: "No."

Li Zhoumian: "..."

Li Zhoumian said awkwardly: "Well, it's not all lies. But what happened when I was a child is over. Do you think I'm fine now?"

Lin Xunzhou frowned: "Not good."

Li Zhoumian: "..."

Lin Xunzhou said in a deep voice, "You are injured."

Li Zhoumian: "..."

"If it hurts, why don't you say it?" Lin Xunzhou whispered, "Can't you say it to me?"
