Waiting for the wind, waiting for the rain, waiting for your return

In the blink of an eye, the two were already in the city of Haihe, thousands of miles away: Mirror City.

The water mirror of the Five Lakes is the place where Emperor Haotian bestowed on the water mirror to worship the immortal Chuchen in the past. The climate is warm and humid. The lake covers an area of ​​72 hectares. A vast expanse of water stretching for hundreds of miles.There are [-] islands and [-] peaks inside, and the lakes and mountains are beautiful, reflecting each other. Since ancient times, there have been poems saying: Qi swallows Wu Chu, and thousands of sails fall, and the shadow moves the galaxy for five nights.

Wuhu Shuijing is connected to Sihaizhou in the east, and Jingcheng, the largest city in the inland, in the west.

Entering Jingcheng, the place is bustling and bustling, and it has not been affected by the war of the Tianlin Dynasty in the slightest.There are row upon row of houses on both sides, teahouses, restaurants, pawnshops, and workshops are very lively, not to mention all kinds of vendors hawking on the street, selling novelty gadgets and all kinds of exquisite food.

The first thing Junfu did when he entered the city was to go to the clothing store and change into a brand new set of clothes. The snow-white silk lining, the crimson robe embroidered with auspicious patterns, and the toga's flowing sleeves instantly changed from a slovenly rough man to a plump man. The handsome young man attracted the passers-by girls to peek at her, and the eyes of the girl "Bai Zhi" were full of admiration.

"A Yuan, how long have you been carrying Bai Zhi's appearance?"

Xiao Zhongyuan himself was not very used to this woman's attire, so he tugged at the skirt that was too long: "It's hard to say, but if I return to my original appearance, it means that Beichen has discovered Bai Zhi's identity. So you hope that I will soon Will it change later or later?"

Jun Fu sighed helplessly: "Then I'd better get used to your appearance first." His eyes suddenly fell on Xiao Zhongyuan's swollen chest, with some malicious intentions: "Ah Yuan, I'm a little curious, this face-changing If the surgery has changed its appearance, has it also changed its body?..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Zhongyuan slapped Xiao Zhongyuan on the face indifferently: "What are you thinking, can you be more shameless?" After finishing speaking, he turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Jun Fu hurriedly chased after him: "A Yuan, don't be angry, I'm really just curious, I have no other ideas..."

"Go away, don't touch me!"

"Don't, there are too many people here, they won't be crowded if you hold them."

Unconsciously, it was almost noon, and Jun Fu led Xiao Zhongyuan to stop in front of a well-decorated inn.

"Huaqianshu Guest House, the name is uniquely inverted, and it's here."

The shop waiter immediately came up to greet him: "You two gentlemen, do you want to stay in the hotel or have a meal? There is no place outside for the meal, and there is still a room with a local name for the accommodation. I just don't know if it is convenient for the two of you?"

Jun Fu shook Xiao Zhongyuan's hand and said with a smile: "He is my wife, so it is naturally convenient."

"Okay, two noblemen, please register here." The waiter in the shop thoughtfully and courteously led them to the counter.

There was a kind and bright smile on the shopkeeper's face: "You two are immortals who came here from other places. The so-called arrival is worse than coincidence. It's just in time for our God-respecting festival, so it's lively. One night, one, two, three money."

Jun Fu looked around and found that the restaurant on the first and second floors was full of seats. He tsk-tsk praised: "No wonder it's so lively, so it's in time for your festival. Which priest will be enshrined in this god-respecting festival? Ma'am, pay the bill."

"Our Jingcheng is blessed by Lord Shuijing Yuan. The seasons are smooth and the weather is good, and we are far away from the flames of war. Therefore, every year on the first day of the first lunar month, the people in the city will burn incense to worship the gods, and there will be a grand parade of floats. At night, we will go to the five lakes to release river lanterns..."

Xiao Zhongyuan spread out his palms, only dozens of copper coins left, not enough.

"You didn't bring enough money when you went out?" Jun Fu reached into Xiao Zhongyuan's Qiankun bag in disbelief and scooped it up again. They were all wound medicines, books, magic tools, clothes, etc., and there was no difference between yellow and white. thing.

Qin Ge's previous arrangements for basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation were well done, and naturally he didn't need to worry about following the Third Highness, Jun Fu, so Xiao Zhongyuan didn't have any concept of how much money was "used".

"I brought some, but didn't I take all of them to make clothes for you." Xiao Zhongyuan felt a little wronged.

Jun Fu opened his eyes wide: "If you hadn't said it earlier, how would I have known that it was all your wealth, Mr. Xiao is really out of this world." Reluctantly, he continued to search in Qiankun's bag.

Xiao Zhongyuan was slightly annoyed: "You cannibalize fireworks, so why don't you choose a cheaper one when you put it on? But it's no wonder, after all, His Royal Highness has always been used to extravagance."

Bai Zhi's appearance was originally round and delicate, although the willow eyebrows were erect at this time, but the round almond eyes stared, more like a spoiled child.

Touching a brocade pouch, the red silky satin surface was embroidered with cross-necked mandarin ducks, Jun Fu excitedly opened it, and what he took out was a knotted hair tied with a red string.

……

Isn't this the marriage between the two when they pretended to be married in Guangyang County four years ago?It turned out that Zhongyuan kept it all the time.Jun Fu's heart warmed up, his tenderness spread, his eyes couldn't help getting moist, he raised his head and said, "A Yuan..."

Xiao Zhongyuan snatched the kit and put it into the Qiankun pouch, said angrily: "Don't think about it, I've been too lazy to tidy up the Qiankun pouch." His ears turned red.

Jun Fu hugged Xiao Zhongyuan, but he couldn't stop laughing: "What I say in the future, if you are happy, it is the truth, if you are not happy, it is a bastard, you don't care. I have you by my side By my side, even if it’s just eating and sleeping in the open, I’m satisfied.”

Xiao Zhongyuan was almost breathless by his sudden grip, he pushed him with both hands: "Okay, in the public, don't touch your hands." His tone has already softened.

"Those two...do you still live in the hotel?"

"..."

The problem of "no money" has become the most urgent problem that needs to be solved at present. Is it possible to really go to eat and sleep in the open?

In the midst of embarrassment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind: "I paid the rent for the two of you."

Looking back, the visitor has tall hair, a strong beard, and dark clothes that are clean.Xiao Zhongyuan blurted out: "General Xie!" It was Xie Huailiu, the third-rank celestial master in Nanlin Palace.

After Xie Huailiu helped pay the rent, he warmly invited the two of them to have lunch together: "My lord, Miss Baizhi, I didn't expect you two to come to Jingcheng. It's so predestined, let's have lunch together."

The two who were short of money immediately accepted it readily. Xie Huailiu's private seat is very good. The location on the second floor facing the street has a wide view and a panoramic view of the bustling street.There was another person sitting beside the table, very young, wearing an ink-colored gown, wearing a square scarf, and looking like a frail scholar, who was concentrating on stuffing pastries into his mouth. Xiao Zhongyuan recognized it after looking at it for a while: "Sun, Mr. Sun ?”

At this time, Sun Gongyan's mind was only like a child of seven or eight years old, his mouth was full of sugar cakes, and the table was also covered with crumbs.

Xie Huailiu sighed, with a sad look on his face: "He is a monster, and his appearance can change. You saw him as an old pedant before, but now he is only seven or eight years old. Coupled with that appearance, his behavior will be weird. , Attracting attention. I coaxed him to change into this appearance with all my talk, but in this way, I look like his father."

Xiao Zhongyuan recalled the scene of seeing Sun Gongyan in Wanggui before, but now it is different, and he sighed endlessly.

Taking out the towel, he leaned over to help Sun Gongyan wipe off the pastry crumbs on his cheeks, but the moment Sun Gongyan looked up and saw Bai Zhi, he was so frightened that he hid behind Xie Huailiu, shouting indistinctly: "Be afraid, don't, don't... "

Xie Huailiu coaxed Sun Gongyan and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoyan, Miss Bai Zhi is not a bad person, she can also make delicious osmanthus cake and lotus cake, they are delicious."

But Sun Gongyan still tugged at Xie Huailiu's sleeve, keeping a distance from Bai Zhi.

Xiao Zhongyuan wondered: "Why is Sun Gongyan afraid of Bai Zhi?"

What he said was strange, no one would call his name like that in words.

"General Xie, I'm Xiao Zhongyuan." At the moment, I will briefly describe the events in the Great Wilderness of the East, only omitting Jun Fu's trial and being forced to form a Taoist couple, etc. It was an expedient measure for Jun Fu to return to Shengjing as a last resort.

"I never thought it would be Mr. Xiao. I wonder why Miss Baizhi would be with the young prince." Xie Huailiu was in a good mood, as if he had started a chatterbox:

"Since Jun Shining's death, the Emperor Tianlin entered the Xunzhou City and trained all the disobedient monks into Shura puppets one after another. Jun Shiqing took over the Nanlin Palace. One hundred thousand ghouls and puppets, and tens of thousands of monsters imprisoned in the underground palace of Aoshan, are all used by the Tianlin Emperor. This is why in just three years, the Tianlin Emperor was able to ignite the flames of war all over the 72 states of the mainland. Now, the only land left that has not been poisoned by him is the Great Eastern Wilderness and the land of the Five Lakes and Water Mirrors.

After the Battle of Qingqiu, Sun Gongyan returned to Xunzhou City in a daze, and found Nanlin Palace with his incomplete memory.Thanks to the little prince's kindness, Jun Shiqing didn't make things difficult for him, and let the two of us go.In the past few years, I have tried my best to restore his memory, but what he is missing is half of the human soul, which cannot be repaired by the power of the Three Realms.I heard that Shuijing Yuanjun of Wuhu Shuijing is an immortal in heaven, so I wanted to try my luck. "

Xiao Zhongyuan pursed his lips tightly, and many things that were unclear in the past gradually became clear, but as the truth surfaced, the cruel facts flooded him like sea water, almost suffocating him:

"This is someone you never doubted anyway..." The smirk on Jun Shining's face became more and more sinister.

"Brother Zhongyuan, I just hate you so much now, it's all your fault, I'd rather you never come here and forget to return!" Wei Ying opened her scarlet eyes, blood and tears kept flowing from her eyes...

Qin Ge glanced at the shallow crimson moon imprint on his palm, and said softly: "Zhong Yuan, if one day you find out that I have done something wrong, I just hope you can remember my kindness, My heart is always true to you."

Xiao Shu looked like a loving father: "Yuan'er, it doesn't matter when this plan started, Sect Master Qin and we are all for your own good..."

It turns out that all living beings are a game, and we have long been reduced to your pawns.
