Fu Luan

In the next few days, Le Wuyan and Xu Youming stayed in the National Teacher's Mansion.

Ming Jin and Qi Feng came over early in the morning every day, and they left with unsatisfied feelings when they got their advice.

The news that the son of Changxing Hou's mansion has returned from his travels in the fairy world has spread throughout Beijing, and the Hou's mansion is full of guests every day, making it very popular in Beijing for a while.

And Le Wuyan opened his mouth, those people in the Marquis of Changxing did not dare to disobey him, the day after Qi Sifan came back, Wang De's grandson wrote to the court, offering to return the title to Qi Sifan, Ming Jin agreed, and issued an imperial edict Qi Sifan became an official in the imperial court, and was directly named a first-rank grand master.

Regardless of whether it conforms to the rules or not, those who come back from the fairy world can naturally be teachers of the emperor.

"The new year will be in a few days, master, why don't you go after this year?"

One day, when the practice was over and she was about to return to the palace, Ming Jin made a suggestion.

Le Wuyan asked: "Is there anything fun to do during the New Year in the ordinary world?"

"There are everything," Ming Jin said, "delicious and delicious."

Le Wuyan stroked his palm: "That's good."

Xu Youming looked at him disapprovingly. They had been in the mortal world for almost half a month, and they originally planned to leave tomorrow. If it was Chinese New Year, they would have to wait a few more days.

Le Wuyan: "What are you rushing back to do?"

Xu Youming: "We have to go back to Taiyi Xianzong first, there are still some things to deal with."

Le Wuyan: "That's not in a hurry."

It just so happened that the Marquis of Changxing also sent a post. It was a wedding post. Qi Sifan and Su Wanyue were going to hold a make-up wedding. They were invited to watch the ceremony in three days.

"Hou Ye said that the National Teacher and the Immortal Venerable are his benefactors, please do yourself a favor and go to the mansion." The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion who came to deliver the post said.

Le Wuyan waved the invitation card in his hand, and said with a smile: "It seems that we have to stay."

When that day came, not only Le Wuyan and Xu Youming, but Ming Jin and Qi Feng also went together.

Apart from them, the Marquis of Changxing did not invite any other guests, but the mansion was newly decorated, decorated with lanterns and festoons, creating a festive atmosphere.

Qi Sifan respectfully welcomed them into the door. Seeing his natural attitude, Le Wuyan asked Ming Jin curiously: "Is he not surprised to see that you and Qi Feng look the same as us?"

"A few days ago, he entered the palace to confer a title. I summoned him in private. When he first saw us, he was indeed taken aback. I asked him specifically. He said that he had seen too many bizarre things over there, and he was used to it. .” Ming Jin said.

Le Wuyan smiled: "Yes, he has opened his eyes, unlike you two, he is still a bumpkin."

Ming Jin complained quietly: "Master, you are taking us there?"

Le Wuyan: "What's the rush?"

At the subsequent wedding, there were no outside guests, and there was no excessive red tape.

With Le Wuyan and Xu Youming as witnesses, Qi Sifan took Su Wanyue's hand, saluted them both, and then the husband and wife bowed.

Back then they hadn't paid homage, Qi Sifan had already been forcibly taken away, time has passed, and today they can finally talk about regrets.

After eating a wedding banquet in Qi Mansion, it was already the time when the moon was on a branch before going out.

The street was very lively, with lights and pedestrians everywhere, Le Wuyan looked around for a while, and asked Mingjin: "Isn't there a curfew here at night?"

"It's not necessary during this time," Ming Jin explained, "New Year's is coming soon, and there's no curfew until the fifteenth day, and there's a night market on the east side of the city, master, are you going to visit it?"

Of course I will go, Le Wuyan is most keen on joining in the fun.

Arriving in the east of the city, the most magnificent building with the largest number of people gathered at a glance is still the National Teacher's Temple.

Le Wuyan was surprised and said, "In the middle of the night, there are still people coming to the National Teacher's Temple to offer incense?"

"When you came that day, there was too much commotion. Although you said you were not an immortal, the people in the capital have already regarded you as gods. If you don't come here, you can't go to Changxing Marquis Mansion to offer incense." Ming Jin said.

He asked, "Do you want to go in and have a look?"

There were too many people, and the only way to squeeze through was to allow the imperial army to clear the way, Le Wuyan shook his head: "Forget it."

Xu Youming said: "Go forward."

The night market on the ten-mile long street is decorated with lights, and it is quite interesting to go shopping all the way.

All kinds of pedestrians on the street, with different faces, different ages, and different identities, all have smiles on their faces. It is difficult to see such a scene in the cultivation world. Cultivators are busy with cultivation and rarely have leisure time like these ordinary people. Going out is just to visit a night market and watch a lantern festival.

"I said before that although people in the ordinary world can live for a hundred years, their lives are much more interesting than people in the cultivation world. What do you think?" Le Wuyan asked the people around him with a smile.

Xu Youming: "Yes."

"I don't agree with that," Ming Jin interjected, "Most of the people you can see are rich and happy. That's because this is the capital, under the feet of the emperor. If the people are not living in troubled times, those days will be sad. How can you cultivators live a happy life? Who doesn’t aspire to become a fairy? Not to mention ordinary people, emperors have always wanted to go to the fairyland since ancient times. "

Le Wuyan: "It's not that good. In the world of comprehension, only one out of 1 monks can successfully ascend to the Dao, and the rest all fell in the middle. It's lucky to be able to re-enter reincarnation, and luck is even worse. If the soul is scattered, it will completely disappear into the world, and here, at least after death, it can be guaranteed to be reincarnated."

Qi Feng asked: "Is there only one person in 1 people?"

Le Wuyan: "Ah, otherwise, what do you think? The Taiyi Immortal Sect we belong to is the first sect of Taoism, with 1000 inner disciples and [-] outer disciples. Those who can enter the Taiyi Immortal Sect are all talented For a person with excellent bones, it is rare for one person to ascend to the ascension every [-] years."

Ming Jin: "...Isn't the Immortal Venerable only over 300 years old, and has already passed the catastrophe period? Master, you are only in your early twenties, and you have already reached the Nascent Soul."

"We are the exception." Le Wuyan said.

Or where did you two come from? He didn't say this sentence.

In fact, he himself didn't know this before, but after mixing with Taoism, he discovered that Taoist monks are so useless, they die as soon as they say they die, and they can be called a genius if they can ascend within 5000 years.

Ming Jin muttered: "Then I am also a genius among the heavens?"

Qi Feng frowned, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xu Youming interrupted them: "The ordinary world and the cultivation world each have their own advantages and disadvantages. There is no need to insist on comparing them. It is meaningless to talk about them."

Ming Jin said: "At least in the realm of self-cultivation, people have the opportunity to cultivate. Anyway, for ordinary people, they will not remember the past after death and reincarnation. It is the same as death, no difference."

Le Wuyan: "That's because you have already become the emperor in this life, so you think so. I think most people only want to be rich and honored in the next life. What do you think, Yaoyao?"

Xu Youming: "As long as you are not punished by heaven and doomed to suffer in this lifetime, there is nothing wrong with entering reincarnation. There is always hope."

Ming Jin said casually: "Then let Xianzun you go into reincarnation, are you willing?"

Xu Youming said: "Let nature take its course."

Le Wuyan was stunned for a moment, Xu Youming's tone was too natural when he said this, his brows were light and sparse against the light, as if unreal, which made his heart tighten for no reason.

"...What are you talking about? How did you end up in reincarnation?" Le Wuyan subconsciously asked.

Ming Jin: "Look, when it comes to yourselves, Master, you don't want to."

Le Wuyan glared at him: "You talk too much nonsense."

Ming Jin giggled and pulled Qi Feng forward first.

Seeing a sugar seller nearby, Xu Youming asked Le Wuyan, "Do you want it?"

"I said, don't treat me like a child," Le Wuyan said unhappily, "What did you mean just now?"

Xu Youming: "Just casually."

Le Wuyan: "Tell me casually?"

Xu Youming asked him, "...Since you think it's not bad to be an ordinary person in the mortal world, why are you unhappy when I say this?"

Le Wuyan: "If I'm the only one, reincarnation will be reincarnation. If the two of us really enter reincarnation, what should we do if we can't meet in the next life?"

Xu Youming: "No, don't think about it."

Xu Youming still went to buy a sugar figurine.

Le Wuyan curled his lips, reluctance to accept it, tasted the sweetness in his mouth, but felt uncomfortable in his heart.

... Xu Youming, that bastard, what are you doing with such inexplicable things?

Afterwards, Le Wuyan remained absent-minded, and walked forward along the crowd for a while, suddenly, fireworks shot up from the tower in front of him, and exploded under the night, and pedestrians stopped one after another.

The two of them also stopped and looked up for a while, Le Wuyan said: "In the past, in the Taiyi Immortal Sect, fireworks were set off during the Chinese New Year."

Xu Youming: "Yes."

Le Wuyan recalled at that time, what Xu Youming said, "Only when each other has obtained eternal life, will they not be afraid of being cut off from the world", and wondered why this person is still going back on his word, and now he is talking about reincarnation Is there any harm?

"Don't you want to be with me?" he asked.

Xu Youming turned his head to look at him, the light from the fireworks was reflected in Le Wuyan's bright black eyes, he just looked at him so intently, there seemed to be a bit of grievance in his words that he didn't even notice.

Xu Youming stretched out his hand, Le Wuyan closed his eyes subconsciously, and Xu Youming's fingertips lightly brushed his trembling eyelashes.

"No," he heard the person in front of him whisper softly, "I said something wrong, don't be angry."

When Haishi was approaching, the four of them left the night market.

Ming Jin didn't want to go back to the palace in the middle of the night, so he took Qi Feng to the National Teacher's Mansion.

Le Wuyan was dissatisfied: "Qi Feng has his own general's mansion, so you can't go there?"

"No," Ming Jin said, "drink with Master."

Just drink it, Le Wuyan wants to drink too.

It was probably that Le Wuyan and Xu Youming were leaving in two days. Ming Jin was worried, and when he took Le Wuyan to drink, he asked them when they would come back, and they couldn't be forgotten.

"After we go back, we will probably retreat for a long time, maybe a few years, maybe ten years or decades. If you have something urgent or urgent, you can send us a message." Xu Youming said.

Ming Jin became more and more sad when he heard the words: "Then we won't see you, Master, for a long time?"

"It's not that you haven't been weaned, what's the matter?" Le Wuyan couldn't stand him, "Be good as the emperor, and after a few decades, when you two are almost 'end of life', we will come to pick you up."

Mingjin: "...you won't stop coming, will you?"

Le Wuyan: "You can do what you need to do with peace of mind, and we will naturally recognize you two as our disciples."

Ming Jin poured a sip of wine into his mouth, wiped his face again, and could only nod: "Okay."

He, the emperor who drove ducks to the shelves, had to do it.

So he became more and more sad, poured the wine into his mouth one gulp, and brought Le Wuyan with him.

Le Wuyan probably wasn't in a good mood tonight, so he drank the wine as soon as Ming Jin poured it out, and the two of them started drinking together endlessly.

Qi Feng originally wanted to stop him, but seeing that Xu Youming didn't say anything, he just let it go.

Afterwards, both Le Wuyan and Mingjin were drunk, and they took each of them back to the house to settle down.

Le Wuyan was drunk, confused and dishonest. When Xu Youming hugged him onto the couch, he kept clutching his robe, and muttered "Yaoyao" in his sleep, Xu Youming put him down and sat down by the couch.

The back of his hand lightly brushed his cheek, Le Wuyan subconsciously pressed it against him, Xu Youming watched him quietly for a long time, withdrew his hand, got up and went out of the house.

When Qi Feng came over, Xu Youming was practicing sword in the courtyard.

Qi Feng paused, and stood on the porch to watch carefully. There was no sword intent in Xu Youming's sword, but the power contained in it was enough for Qi Feng to see the gap between himself and him.

Qi Feng's eyes were slightly bright, and there was yearning hidden in his eyes.

When Xu Youming stopped, he stepped forward, paused and said, "Is Master restless?"

Although Xu Youming's sword moves were powerful, they were unstable, which was clearly caused by his distraction.

Xu Youming looked at him silently, and said after a while: "You reach out your hand."

Qi Feng didn't understand what he meant, but he obeyed and stretched out his hand with the palm facing up.

Xu Youming's palm covered his, and at that moment, the spiritual power in their bodies quickly connected. Qi Feng only felt a pulling force that he couldn't break free to hold him, constantly pulling his body The soul in the place was clenched towards Xu Youming, as if it was about to leave his body.

Or maybe it wasn't a soul at all, but something else he didn't know, but when Xu Youming withdrew his hand, he was already covered in cold sweat, and he could barely stabilize his figure by holding his sword on the ground.

Qi Feng was also a restrained person, he didn't show too much surprise, but there was doubt in his eyes: "Why?"

Xu Youming was still thinking about something secretly, and did not answer him. Qi Feng said: "Mingjin and I practice far faster than normal Taoist monks. Is it because of you? Because we both look the same as you? What is the difference between us and you? What is the origin?"

Xu Youming finally said: "You are spirits, and the flesh is made by the way of heaven according to our flesh, and then the spirit grows on its own. I can't tell you the specific reason. There are some things that I am not very sure about, but I just saw it. Come, it should be the same as I guessed."

Qi Feng already understood what he meant, and asked him: "Our cultivation can only stop at Jindan?"

"Without a soul, you can't refine your soul, you can't break through your soul." Xu Youming said bluntly.

Qi Feng: "...In the end, it can only be as it was just now?"

"Not necessarily," Xu Youming said, "There are no absolutes in the world, so let's settle down and do what's in front of us first. If you can change the fate of the Zhou Dynasty, it may be your only chance."

Qi Feng seemed to understand, and clasped his hands together: "Thank you, Master, for your reminder."

"Don't talk to Ming Jin about this for now, lest he lose his moral integrity and go on a business trip when he enters the country." Xu Youming reminded him.

Qi Feng: "I know."

Letting Qi Feng go back first, Xu Youming stood there for a while.

The moonlight cast mottled shadows in the courtyard, he watched quietly for a moment, closed his eyes lightly, turned and went back to the house.
