Fu Luan

It was almost dusk at this time, and there were more people on the island than in the daytime, and they flocked to the beach one after another.

Le Wuyan asked curiously: "What are they doing?"

Yu Weiqiu said first: "I know, today is the day of the Heaven's Grace Festival. After nightfall, go to the seaside to release sky lanterns, and your wishes will come true."

"Raise the sky lantern?" Le Wuyan raised his eyebrows, "Where are you praying to the heavens?"

Yu Weiqiu nodded: "That's right."

Le Wuyan: "...The Dao of Heaven is not a good thing, do you expect it to be useful?"

Yu Weiqiu was shocked: "Young Master Qing, you can't say that, be careful that it comes out of your mouth."

Le Wuyan disagreed, he said that if it is not a good thing, it is not a good thing.

Xu Youming asked: "Stay here and watch, or go back?"

Yu Weiqiu immediately said: "In addition to the sky lanterns, there is also a night market at night, selling everything, let's go shopping."

Le Wuyan was not interested in praying to heaven, but he was very interested in the night market, so he immediately decided: "Then stay and have a look."

As dusk faded, there were more stalls set up on the market extending to the seaside than during the day. In addition to those who usually sold cultivation resources, there were also people who sold various folk gadgets and food from the mortal world. few.

Qin Ziyu sighed: "The competition will be held in three days. I thought everyone was hurrying to practice at this time."

"Practice just for a few days and it's just a temporary hug, and the Tianen Festival celebration only happens once in 100 years." After Yu Weiqiu finished speaking, he ran to the front to buy sugar cakes.

The three of them waited in place, and Le Wuyan turned his eyes to look around, a ten-mile long street with tens of thousands of bright lights, as if he had seen such a situation before.

"This is the Lantern Festival in the Ordinary World!" Le Wuyan finally remembered that many years ago in the Ordinary World in the Western Continent, it was also such a grand scene of lights. He walked around in the middle of the night with great interest.

That was the first time he felt that the lives of people in the mortal world were actually quite interesting. A mortal's life spans a hundred years, and every day must be calculated carefully so that it is not a waste of time. With seven emotions and six desires, and only seeking to ascend to the Tao, maybe he didn't really understand it at the end of his life, so what if he became a fairy?

Qin Ziyu asked curiously, "Madam, have you ever been to the common world?"

Of course I have been there, I brought you back from the mundane world, Le Wuyan can't say that.

He smiled and turned his gaze to Xu Youming who was beside him.

Xu Youming was also looking over, and the lights behind him were reflected in Le Wuyan's smiling eyes, shining brightly like night stars.

Xu Youming looked at him quietly, and Le Wuyan smiled back.

Looking at each other silently, the heaven, earth, and prehistoric lands stood still, and everything around them seemed to be isolated, leaving only intertwined phantoms.

Until Yu Weiqiu's nonchalant voice came: "Little Martial Uncle, Young Junior Martial Uncle, do you want to eat sugar cake? It's just out of the oven, it's very sweet!"

Le Wuyan turned his head and saw that kid Yu Weiqiu came back with a large bowl of sugar cakes, and was delivering them in front of them: "This is sugar cakes? It doesn't look very delicious, forget it."

Yu Weiqiu: "Not bad, Ziyu, do you want it?"

Qin Ziyu didn't really want to eat it either, so he shook his head.

"Let's go, let's go and look elsewhere." After Le Wuyan said, he pulled Xu Youming and continued to squeeze towards the crowded place in front of him.

Qin Ziyu hurriedly followed, and Yu Weiqiu followed with his mouth full of food.

When we arrived at the seaside, there was already a lot of people here, and there were sky lanterns rising from the sea continuously, like faint stars, sinking into the silent night.

Le Wuyan folded his arms and looked at it for a while, seeing that everyone would send spiritual power into the wick before setting off the sky lantern, and asked, "What is this for?"

Xu Youming explained: "Mark your own sky lanterns, hoping that Heaven will remember them."

Le Wuyan just wanted to laugh when he heard the words: "Is it useful?"

Xu Youming: "Sincerity leads to spirit."

Le Wuyan: "Then do you want to put one?"

Xu Youming said calmly, "I don't need this."

"I know," Le Wuyan said, "Heaven can't help you with what you want."

Xu Youming looked at him, his eyes moved slightly: "Yes."

Le Wuyan sighed with a smile: "I won't let it go, I have nothing to ask for, and I don't like the way of heaven."

Xu Youming nodded and took his hand lightly.

At the exit of the market to the coast, Qin Ziyu and Yu Weiqiu stopped to look around, they and Le Wuyan were washed away by the crowd just now, there were too many people around, and there was no shadow of the immortal and his wife.

Yu Weiqiu was just about to say that they should go play by themselves, but when he heard the sound transmission in his ear, and saw the person coming in front, he suddenly froze.

Seeing him downcast, Qin Ziyu asked, "What's wrong?"

"Uncle Feng and the others are here," Yu Weiqiu said gloomily, "My father said that he will give me some advice in the last two days, lest the result of the big competition is not good, and the person who lost him wants me to go back now."

Qin Ziyu understood: "Then you go, you are the suzerain's son, and there are many people staring at you, so you really have to behave well, the suzerain is also for your own good."

Yu Weiqiu: "...What does it matter if you just play for one night?"

He muttered and complained a few words, seeing that Uncle Feng and the others had approached, he had no choice but to leave with the others.

Qin Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief and turned around.

Someone came from the lights, and when Qin Ziyu looked over, he met the casual glance.

Xie Shigu shook his fan lightly, stopped in his footsteps, his face was not a bit of the usual casual and leisurely, and his eyes were cold.

Only him.

Qin Ziyu was stunned, and the other party had already stepped forward: "Are you alone?"

Qin Ziyu turned around to leave, but his arm was caught, he took a step back subconsciously, looked at the person in front of him vigilantly, and did not make a sound.

Xie Shigu withdrew his hand, rubbed the belly of his fingers casually, and said lightly: "So afraid of me? Don't worry, I won't touch you again. Your suzerain sent someone to negotiate the previous matter in a pretentious manner. How could I dare?" move you."

Qin Ziyu said: "Since that's the case, please ask the leader to take care of himself in the future."

Xie Shigu stared into his eyes: "Don't imitate your Mrs. Xianzun, didn't you like me before? Don't you like me now?"

Qin Ziyu clenched his fist hard and said coldly, "Leader, please respect yourself."

Xie Shigu shook his head slightly, looked up at the sky full of lights behind him, Qin Ziyu was startled suddenly.

At this moment, those eyes that were always joking were calm and almost lonely.

Xie Shigu's eyes fell back on him again, and the corners of his lips curled up, as if mocking himself: "Even you don't want to talk to me anymore."

Qin Ziyu frowned, Xie Shigu threw something over: "Send it to you."

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to pick it up, and looking down, it was actually the piece of Yimu essence that he had photographed during Bai Rixie.

Immediately, he wanted to pass the thing back, but Xie Shigu didn't pick it up: "Throw it away if you don't want it, since he doesn't care about it, why don't you give it to someone who can use it."

Qin Ziyu is like holding a hot potato, neither throwing it nor not throwing it.

"Have a drink with me." The man in front of him said.

When more sky lanterns were raised, Le Wuyan finally realized that the two had separated from them, and looked around but didn't see anyone.

"Forget it, I guess Nephew Yu took Little Mudan to play alone."

After muttering such a sentence, Le Wuyan didn't think much about it, and the people around him asked him, "Do you want to visit other places?"

Le Wuyan: "Where else can I go?"

"On the mountain ahead," Xu Youming said, "there are fewer people there."

Le Wuyan said indifferently: "Then go."

There were indeed too many people in this place, and he had already planned to go back.

Going further, there is a road up the mountain. This side is not on the same mountain as Tianen Temple. The mountain is not high, but it is just facing the sea, so the scenery is good.

Most of the monks who release sky lanterns choose places with a wide view and bright lights by the sea. After nightfall on the mountain, the forest is deep and foggy, and there are fewer people coming. The higher you go, the less people can be seen.

On the way here, Le Wuyan still bought sky lanterns, and bought 99 lanterns in one go, and put them all in his Qiankun bag.

Xu Youming just watched and didn't ask him why he bought it, let alone why he bought so much.

Le Wuyan himself couldn't explain the reason, probably when he heard the stall owner yelling, he said, "In addition to praying for blessings, sky lanterns can also express sorrow." I bought all the sky lanterns.

When I got to the top of the mountain, I realized that there is actually a place with a good view. The fog on the top of the mountain is not as thick as that on the mountainside, and I can clearly see the lights by the sea.

It was still very quiet, and there was no one else but them.

Le Wuyan sat down on the ground and let out a light breath.

Xu Youming accompanied him: "I bought the lamp, don't you want to let it go?"

Le Wuyan shook his head: "I didn't let go of what I said earlier."

After being silent for a while, he lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "Actually, in the inheritance of the Phoenix Clan, there is also content about releasing sky lanterns."

Xu Youming listened quietly, and Le Wuyan's voice was even softer: "It has nothing to do with the way of heaven. People of the Phoenix tribe light sky lanterns to guide the way home. No matter where they are, as long as they light up 99 sky lanterns with the real fire of Phoenix , you can find your way back to your homeland.”

After a long time, Xu Youming asked, "You just bought 99 lamps, do you want some?"

Still silent, Le Wuyan didn't know what to say, maybe he wanted to, but he didn't dare.

"...I don't have a home anymore."

As if he was half-sighing, Le Wuyan said it, and the smile on the corner of his mouth brought out inexplicable bitterness.

The Phoenix family has been exterminated, and Xiaoyao Xianshan has become a barren place. He really has no home anywhere.

"Yes." The person next to him suddenly said.

Le Wuyan's eyelashes trembled, looking at him, Xu Youming looked very serious: "Yes."

"Where?" Le Wuyan was taken aback for a moment, then realized, "Taiyi Immortal Sect?"

"Taiyi Immortal Sect has no human touch at all, and your Suxiao Peak is even more deserted, I don't even want to go back." Le Wuyan said embarrassingly.

Xu Youming called him: "Qingque."

Le Wuyan: "What?"

He raised his head without knowing why, and looked at the person in front of him. Xu Youming stretched out his hand and brushed his long hair that was blown by the wind. His expression was as calm as usual, and he said slowly: "I can give you a home, no matter Where."

Le Wuyan recovered and smiled, grabbed Xu Youming's sleeve, a little speechless: "Why are you so..."

He didn't know how to describe it in words, Xu Youming was really hated when he was hated, and he was really happy when he was made happy.

"I'm very troublesome," Le Wuyan reminded him, "You have to follow me, pamper me, let me go, even if I make trouble for no reason and mess around, you have to listen to me."

Xu Youming agreed simply: "Okay."

The smile in Le Wuyan's eyes grew stronger: "I agree now? Don't you think about it again?"

Xu Youming: "No need."

He asked Le Wuyan: "Are the sky lanterns going?"

Le Wuyan was still hesitating, Xu Youming said: "Let it go."

Touched by his eyes, Le Wuyan finally nodded, and took out those sky lanterns from the Qiankun bag.

99 lamps spread out in front of your eyes.

Ignite them together with the real fire of the phoenix, and then send them out with the wind with your own hands.

The sparks lit up the sky and lingered for a long time.

Le Wuyan stared intently, he thought that his lantern would be like other people's, disappearing after flying away, but in the long dark night, there was a bright red light, mottled and shining, coming from the end of the disappearance of the sky lantern. Come, cut through the bustling night tide, mountains and seas, and fall to him.

Le Wuyan got up in disbelief, stepped forward hesitantly, and reached out to the red light.

Like some kind of call from the depths of the soul, he instinctively wanted to follow the light and leave until someone behind him called him again.

"Blue bird."

Le Wuyan turned his head, Xu Youming just looked at him with a calm and tolerant expression.

This man has always been, always has been.

"Come back." Xu Youming said softly, reaching out to him.

At the moment when the miracle appeared, there were constant exclamations on the beach, and countless people tried to test it.

Above the restaurant, the man sitting leaning on the railing poured the wine into his mouth and laughed softly: "The miracles of the Phoenix clan are really enviable. They can always get what they want."

Qin Ziyu's eyes fell on him, Xie Shigu raised his eyebrows: "Don't believe me?"

Qin Ziyu shook his head, guessing who Xie Shigu was talking about, he didn't want to ask more.

"Aren't you curious about the origins of your immortal master and his wife?" Xie Shigu said.

Qin Ziyu: "...I don't want to hear what you say, your words may not be true."

Xie Shigu said helplessly: "Well, I really don't attract people's liking."

Qin Ziyu: "I don't want the essence of Yimu."

"I said, throw it away if you don't want it," Xie Shigu continued to pour the wine for him, "Drink."

When the red light that spanned the entire sky disappeared, Le Wuyan still hadn't recovered.

Being held by Xu Youming, he felt that the temperature was lower than his own palm, and he raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him: "Why is this happening?"

Xu Youming said: "The homeland of the Phoenix Clan is still there."

So there are also miracles that lead people back to their homeland.

Le Wuyan was stunned, as if relieved: "I got the inheritance, but I can't go now."

Xu Youming: "You can go there after you ascend."

Le Wuyan thought, then he has to hurry up and practice, and strive to ascend as soon as possible.

Sitting down again at the same spot, but her heart was still restless, Le Wuyan took out the Tao Xun and handed it to Xu Youming: "You can play another tune for me."

Add another sentence: "I will make an instrument for you for the last time, and I will use it to kill people in three days."

Xu Youming: "Above the Grand Competition, you must not kill anyone."

Le Wuyan: "It's just a general reference, you can blow it."

After a while, the Xun sounded.

The melodious and transcendent melody is no longer depressed and depressed, and melodiously infiltrates the world.

Le Wuyan's mind gradually emptied, leaning on Xu Youming's shoulder, and slowly closed his eyes.
