Chapter 207 Fifty-Six: Reunion

The night is dark, and people are clamoring around the Dongyue Temple. A hundred feet above the temple grounds, the flying boats float away in the daytime. The nighttime palace has crossed half of the Yujing City, and has traveled here and replaced it.

The entire ceremony of worshiping the sky lasted for three days, day and night. Although the officials of Taichang Temple, who were in charge of rituals and music, did not easily accomplish this errand and erected the dragon and tiger curse, they had just moved from the day flying wing to the night travel palace. They seized this moment of breathing, leaned against the railing, leaned against the red pillar, and rested on their own.

Amid the ritual music that had been slightly calmed down, Emperor Dayong Li Yin looked down on the terrace of the Night Tour Palace. The famine for more than half a year did not seem to have had much impact on Yujing City. The people were still laughing and laughing, and the lanterns floating in the air were even more colorful than before.

Among the officials behind the emperor, the Minister of Rites held his sleeves and said, "As soon as Your Majesty returns to the capital, the world will be peaceful again. Now that my country is strong, it is no longer a little bit of demonic chaos that can shake."

The Minister of Taichang Temple also said: "When Your Majesty completes the Fengshan Ceremony, the prosperity of humanity will be just around the corner."

Li Yin smiled slightly. The Emperor Dayong is now in his fifties. Except for a few strands of frost on his temples, he almost never looked old. Under the lights, his face was particularly rosy. It was rumored that the saint was seriously injured before entering the pass, which was obviously just a rumor.

He pointed to the lights of Yujing City, and the dragon beards reflected on his sleeves, and smiled with relief: "Minister Chen from Xiyi Mountain and the Buddhist Venerable Kongle said that I went west to enfeoff Taodu Mountain, which was too reckless. It was to abandon the people of Dayong Kingdom and not win the hearts of the people. Tonight, the king and ministers celebrated with the people. The people of Dayong are so happy. Who said that I am not win the hearts of the people?"

The ministers next to them agreed, which won a lot of joy.

After a while, Li Yin waved his hand again and asked the ministers to retreat, leaving only Yuan Shuo, the Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor.

The palace lanterns on both sides of the terrace shone on Li Yin's side face, his face was a bit abnormal. He coughed lightly, subconsciously raised his hand to cover his left rib, and then swept by lightly, touching his lips and moustaches, "The furnace of divine talisman refined by the national master is said to be applied to the feet and can walk on the water without drowning. After taking it, it becomes an immortal for a hundred days. I used a sword and the medicine was really effective, and I can't feel the injury anymore."

Yuan Shuo was wearing a red robe and shook his head and said, "Although the Nine-Dao Divine Pill is the best external pill in the world, Your Majesty's injury this time was already serious, and it caused the secret injury many years ago. If Your Majesty's cultivation was profound, he would not be seriously ill. Your Majesty became sick due to overwork and was already suffering from qi and blood. Relying on the external pill alone can only delay it for a while."

Li Yin raised his hand and signaled Yuan Shuo to stop, and smiled: "The great saint of the demon clan is indeed brave and regards thousands of troops as if nothing is present. Unfortunately, it was not twenty years ago. Otherwise, I would have wanted to have a few more moves with it." At this point, he paused, "How much life span do I have?"

Yuan Shuo said: "There is no need to calculate this matter. As long as you understand the medical skills, you will know that Your Majesty should retreat to the Cave Heaven and the Blessed Land to recuperate. Otherwise, now all parties are eyeing each other, I am afraid that the good and bad luck will only happen in a while."

"I want to take a break, but now I am surrounded by tigers and wolves, how can I let me escape? If I show my weakness, even those who watch the fire across the river will not be able to come in and get in." Li Yin looked at the palace from afar and sighed: "I have a good prince, gentle, kind, respectful, and frugal, but I am not so humble. This is very good. If I become an emperor, I can't be too gentleman. When the queen gave birth to him, auspiciousness came from heaven, and an immortal brought a mercy on the clouds to send a ruyi. If he succeeded to the throne, he would be a dignified and true emperor, much better than me."

Everyone knows that today's saints have been criticized for their inappropriate military achievements. However, the current crown prince is born in accordance with the will of heaven. When the crown prince was just over the moon, he caught Zhou on Xiyi Mountain. He ignored the scrolls, swords, whisks, wooden fish, and raised his hand to touch the sun in the sky. Although it was beyond the reach, his ambition was extraordinary.

If it were other court officials, they would probably have to praise the prince at this time, but Yuan Shuo said nothing.

The ceremony and music in the palace were temporarily stopped at night, and the noise below was very far away. The two of them were silent on the terrace in front of the wind. Li Yin suddenly said, "Yuan Chongshan said to me, someone gave you a chess book?"

Yuan Shuo nodded, "Not bad."

Li Yin later said after a while: "I am just suspicious in Xuandu. Now it seems that the descendant is indeed his successor. However, he had turned into a rainbow in Taodu Mountain back then. Is he still the one who came back now? If his obsession turned into a demon..."

He sighed, "I don't know if it's an enemy or a friend."

Yuan Shuo said: "At that time, the great masters of the two sects gathered in Taodu Mountain and forced him to ascend. He would rather turn into a rainbow and then conquer the earth gate. This death is more important than Mount Tai, but a person like him will die here and will definitely be unwilling to die. This time, he may return to the world, or continue the path of Taoism, or..."

Before Yuan Shuo finished speaking, a voice came from the darkness, "Maybe it happened that had not been completed back then."

In the night of Rumo, there seemed to be an invisible pen to outline a figure. His face was covered by darkness, and only the outline of the sleeves could be seen. He smiled and said, "After many years of separation, are you fine?"

...

On the cloud bridge in Xingguofang, Bijun suddenly said goodbye, leaving only Li Chan. Li Chan, who is often accompanied by a group of monsters, hasn't been alone like this for a long time, and she feels a different kind of freedom when she walks alone under the moonlight lantern.

He walked around the flying building and ran out of Xingguofang to the south. He smelled the smell of mutton, strong wine, roasted quail and lamp oil all the way to Luye Street outside Dongyue Temple.

The carriages and horses were slowly moved by crowds, and the singing girls upstairs played back the pipa. There were hawking and bargaining sounds everywhere, and there were flirting between men and women. Pedestrians looked at the scene on the street and were dazzled, while others were staring at their feet. At every grand event, women in the boudoir were dressed in a dress, and they only needed to be more patient. After a night, they could always pick up some gold and silver jewelry that were squeezed out.

In the street, the shadowless Taoist priest was holding a red-skinned gourd and holding a bronze mirror. The colorful lights were reflected on the mirror, and no one noticed the girl's mirror.

The Taoist priest sat down on the street and ordered a bowl of red beans. In the bronze mirror, Deng Yuanying said: "The Fu Yuanzi sold in this store is the number one in Yujing City. Unfortunately, if you don't eat it, you won't eat it. Ninety percent of the delicious food in Yujing City can't be enjoyed."

The Taoist priest took Fu Yuanzi, savored it for a while, nodded and said, "It's indeed good."

Deng Yuanying laughed when he heard the Taoist priest's praise, "Tao Master, I'm so tired of doing this."

The Taoist priest ate Fu Yuanzi in a few bites and put down a few pieces of money to make money. "I do my good deeds not just to redeem the shadow. The Wang family is rebuilt with my kindness. I do more good deeds and can also make some good deeds for the Wang family."

The Taoist priest entered the crowd, and Deng Yuanying asked again: "Why is the magical powers of the Wang family so powerful? They can actually cut off your shadow, Taoist priest."

The Taoist priest smiled, "The nine methods of Yu Shu by Wang's family in Jiangning are of course powerful."

Deng Yuanying said: "They can cut off the shadows of people. If I ask them for help, can they change my body for me?"

The Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I haven't learned that magical powers yet, how do you know? However, the descendants of Wang family of Jiangning will also come to take the spring exam in Qianyuan Academy. At that time, I can ask you."

Deng Yuanying said happily: "Thank you, Master!"

"Just asking, it may not be useful." The Taoist priest smiled, walked past a silk shop, his eyes narrowed, and saw Li Chan walking towards him, "Brother Fu Cha, it's a coincidence." He stopped and bowed.

"It's a coincidence." Li Chan bowed his hand and returned the gift.

"Brother Fu Cha seems to be alone. Should I travel with me and have some wine together?" Wang Changyue shaved the red-skinned gourd, "The things I put here are made of Qing Micro-made."

Li Chan was a little moved, and glanced at the bronze mirror in Wang Changyue's hand again, and smiled and said, "Next time, there are still people waiting for me."

"Okay." Wang Changyue smiled and greeted Li Chan again, and the two passed by.

...

Li Chan walked past the mat and tea stall meat case selling autumn oil. The monsters were near the temple grounds, but he suddenly didn't want to go back too early. The wine flag was tall beside him, and he lifted the thick cloth curtain and entered the restaurant. The hot human flavor came to his face. He sat down on the second floor and ordered half a pot of white pear blossoms, a plate of peanuts and vinegar celery.

The singer in the building held a red tooth and clapped the board, singing a song "Late Autumn". The lyrics of "Sky Scenery Like a Passerby, Old Travel Like a Dream" attracted the

The drinker in the seat sighed. Li Chan lightly pressed the rhythm with his right hand, threw peanuts into his mouth with his left hand, and then raised his glass to take a sip of wine. He squinted his eyes slightly, shook his head from time to time, listening to the song lyrics very much, but he didn't listen to the lyrics much, just listening to the rhythm and the gentle voice of the singer, and just listened to a few songs. Other drinkers in the building, through the cup and a few songs, for a while, forgot the hardships of livelihood. Li Chan is not a ghost at this moment, but just a person who drinks and listens to music.

The singer who was drinking in the building saw him drinking alone, came over to pour a glass of wine for Li Chan. The rouge on his body was so strong that it was greasy. The lead powder on his face was a little sweaty and shiny. If you look carefully, you could still see fine powder. He said that it was pouring wine, and his whole body snuggled up, as if he was going to send himself to the guest's arms. Li Chan smiled, took the wine fed to the singer's mouth, drank it all, put down some money, and left the desk.

After leaving the wine shop, Li Chan took a few sips of cold wind under the wine trick. The powdery air between his nose was dissipated, but there were still some lingering traces. He walked west through the Rue Street and heard a roar of wind, gongs, thunder and drums. Not far away, the houses and several gables surrounded a stage. Some people were singing songs on the stage, and they couldn't see clearly outside. Only when the martial artist waved his spear, he occasionally showed a half-shaped green flag.

Li Chan went from the narrow alley beside the stage to Dongyue Temple, and the opera lyrics became clearer: "The demon outside the domain, called Jialing Pinjia, offered his soul to Gu Jiuniang, and used magic tricks. For a moment, dark clouds covered the sun, and hundreds of birds flew together. The abandoned disciples of Xiyi Mountain were shocked..."

In the middle of the narrow alley, there was a snow-covered path. Li Chan walked in and passed a house, leaving only a wall left from the stage. In the window of the house, there was a table, and a girl in white was sitting at the table peeling melon seeds. There were piles of melon seed shells on the table, and her hands were still peeling, and her ears were facing the stage.

When Li Chan saw the girl in white, she recognized her as her neighbor. Jiang Ru from General Fengchen's Mansion. Jiang Ru turned her head and looked over when she heard the rustling footsteps of Traxue, and said in surprise: "Li Dan?"

"I've seen Miss Jiang." Li Chan looked around. The place was a bit dilapidated, not like the place where she was staying. "You are..."

In the house, an old woman in an indigo cotton robe took away the melon seed shells for Jiang Ru. Jiang Ru clapped her hands and said, "What are you doing here?"

Li Chan glanced at the gables on the stage and said, "Listen to the opera."

"This is a place to eavesdrop." Jiang Ru smiled, "I left home when I was young and often came here to listen to operas. Now I am not stingy with rewards, but I am used to listening here. What about you, why are you here?"

"I'm entering this place by mistake." Li Chan said, and the old woman opened the door of the house. He hesitated for a moment and went into the house to sit by the table.

"It's a coincidence." Jiang Ru nodded. The storytelling lyrics outside the wall had already finished speaking. He was singing to the finale. Qing Dan sang "Red sleeves, green crowns, jade and gold jewels" in a sharp voice. Jiang Ru looked at Li Chan: "You came from Xuandu."

Li Chan raised her eyebrows, "Do you know?"
