Here in the northwest is where the devourers live. Devouring can also be regarded as a hegemon, so it is natural to choose the best place to be your own cave. His cave is in the Kunlun Mountains, and it is best to discuss confidential matters.

He led everyone to a stone wall, and after two taps in one place, the stone wall suddenly opened. Reveal the hole inside. He led everyone in, only to see that there was no ornate decoration in his cave, the style was very simple, and the tables, chairs and beds were made of locally produced jade, but the craftsmanship was not exquisite, and it was still a very rough style, which was very in line with his temper.

The four of them sat down at the table, and as soon as they clapped their hands, a messenger brought them wine and filled the cups. Ming Yijun took a drink and sighed softly.

Knowing that he was an expert in this area, he saw him sigh and hurriedly asked:

"What's the matter? Ming Yijun thinks this wine is not good?"

Ming Yijun shook his head again and again:

"The wine was good, very good. ”

Hearing him say this, the devouring monarch didn't have anything to say. And the people began to take into counsel.

Regarding the matter of the Heavenly Palace's unauthorized modification of the operation of the Heavenly Dao, Mingyi, Yuyi, and Weiji were all somewhat sensitive to this, and their strength was weakened by different degrees, and they were all pursued by the Heavenly Palace. However, if you want to say what this matter is, the three of them can't fully explain it yet, and they still have to rely on the king to preside over the overall situation.

I only heard you say:

"I think you all already know about it. The Heavenly Palace's unauthorized modification of the operation of the Heavenly Dao is not a good thing for the Three Realms, or for you and me. However, now that we are in decline, we cannot rashly start a war with the Heavenly Palace. The most important thing at the moment is to enter the temple and see what is recorded on the heavenly urn in order to make plans. It will take half a year until the temple opens again. In the past six months, you can do a little preliminary preparation. ”

Everyone agreed with what Jun said, and discussed with each other how to divide labor and how to hide people's eyes, and the discussion was very lively. At night, everyone stayed in the cave mansion of the devouring king, and the next day they split up and started to act, without showing it.

said that on Zhan Lu's side, Taoist Qingxuan found a car for her and accompanied her out of the county. The two were afraid that the news would reach the nearby city and arouse suspicion, so they did not dare to stay, but kept moving forward.

Zhan Lu has never been to any other place except for one trip to the beach with Ming Yijun. At this point, I don't know where to go. Qingxuan Taoist has traveled abroad, and he is very familiar with the road. The two discussed it and finally decided to go to the capital.

The road from Qingping County to the capital was not very peaceful, but perhaps because of the escort of Qingxuan Daoist, there were no difficulties along the way. After several months of trekking, the two finally arrived in the capital.

Qingxuan Taoist is a cultivator, and he does not carry anything else on his body except for some magic weapons and a little silver taels. However, Zhan Lu had accumulated some silver taels before. The two discussed it and felt that if they wanted to survive in the capital, it would be easier to do their own business. So Zhan Lu took out most of the silver taels on his body and rented a small wine shop. And Qingxuan Taoist priest set up a hexagram stall at the door of Zhanlu's wine shop.

In the past, in Qingping County, Zhanlu's small wine shop has been passed down for many generations, and many drinkers have to eat and drink there for generations. But it is not easy to open a new business in the capital. Fortunately, the location of the wine shop selected by Zhan Lu is good, and she is young and beautiful, passers-by are willing to look at her more and go in to rest, but her wine shop is not completely businessless.

As for Qingxuan Daoist, he was somewhat famous in the Taibai Mountain generation, but when he arrived in the capital, for the people of the capital, he was nothing more than a handsome Youfang Taoist. But after all, there are a lot of people coming and going in the capital, so there are really a few people who come to him to tell fortunes and exorcise evil spirits every day.

After all, renting a house here is not as easy as doing business in your own home, and if you can't earn the rent and depreciate the principal, the trouble in the future will be even greater. Therefore, early in the morning, Zhan Lu will open the door of the wine shop, sell some rice porridge and so on, and the Qingxuan Taoist priest will also set up the hexagram stall early, just to have two more customers.

Zhan Lu's liquor shop has a similar layout to her liquor shop in Qingping County, except that it is slightly smaller, with only one bedroom inside. Zhan Lu built a nest at the door of the bedroom, and at night, Daoist Qingxuan turned back into a fox and slept at the door.

Zhan Lu has always been worried about Ming Yijun in his heart, and he doesn't know what happened to him. Is he in danger? Will he miss her? Will he be able to find her when he's done what he has to do?

However, Zhan Lu didn't worry for long, just a few days after she settled in the capital, when she got up in the morning and opened the door, she saw a paper crane folded into white paper.

She was extremely surprised, and hurriedly opened the crane, and saw that only four words were written on the letter:

"Well, don't read it. ”

The handwriting was the one that Zhan Lu was familiar with, and when she saw Ming Yijun's handwriting, she felt relieved and no longer worried so much.

This little paper crane ignited the flame of hope in Zhan Lu's heart, she could wait for the day when Ming Yijun returned, right?

Half a year passed quickly, and at the Chinese New Year's Eve of the New Year, Ming Yijun had not returned.

Zhan Lu remembered that Ming Yijun once said that they were going to do something together on Chinese New Year's Eve, and when this thing was done, he could come back.

He also said that maybe he could be back before July.

Thinking like this, Zhan Lu rejoiced, life in a foreign land no longer seemed so difficult, she counted the days day by day, looking forward to his return.

However, Daoist Qingxuan was not as optimistic as Zhan Lu, and he said to Zhan Lu:

"What Lang Jun wants to do is an extremely dangerous thing. Since the Heavenly Palace had already made a decision, they would not allow Lang Jun to destroy this matter lightly. They are bound to encounter many dangers. Lang Jun was born from heaven and earth, immortal and immortal, but the immortals in the heavenly palace may find a way to trap him, and maybe you and I will never see him again for the rest of our lives. ”

Daoist Qingxuan said this in the middle of the night. Zhan Lu had already closed the door of the liquor store and washed in the kitchen.

Daoist Qingxuan leaned against the kitchen door and looked at her, and said the above words quietly.

Zhan Lu glanced up at Daoist Qingxuan.

Except for the few gaffes that Zhan Lu had seen, Daoist Qingxuan's appearance has always been so good-looking and delicate. The green silk is a little fluffy and a little cute. The Taoist robe he wore was not very gorgeous, but it fit very well, which made him more elegant.

Qingxuan Daoist's business has always been very good, and when the business is good, he earns more money than Zhan Lu in a day. Every day, there are always many little ladies in the capital who twist and pinch to the front of his hexagram stall, begging him to tell fortunes and approve the eight characters, and every time they look at him, they have to blush.

At this time, he stood leaning against the door, and his usual immortal wind bones were less energetic, but with a bit of lazy aura. If this look is seen by the girls who peek at him every day, they don't know what kind of expression they want to show.

Just listen to him say:

"The girl is still so young now, when will it be finished if she waits like this?

Zhan Lu heard Daoist Qingxuan say this, and for a moment he didn't know what he meant. I saw him take a step forward, approached Zhan Lu, and said:

"Life is too short, doesn't the girl want to ......"

His voice trembled a little, as if it contained fear, or something else that Zhan Lu couldn't tell. She looked up and saw that his cheeks were flushed, and she suddenly understood what he meant.

When Daoist Qingxuan saw her expression, he knew that she understood. She understood, but he panicked and explained in a panic:

"I didn't mean to bully the girl......! In fact...... When I first saw the girl...... Only...... Just ......"

His speech was originally very clever, but at this time, he couldn't speak clearly. Hanging his head, he looked depressed.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Lu patted him on the head.

Zhan Lu was much shorter than him, and she stood on tiptoe to pat him on the head, which was a little funny. He looked up at her in surprise. I only heard her sigh:

"What you're saying is that he doesn't know when he'll be back, and that's what I know. ”

A little smile appeared at the corner of her mouth:

"But despite this, there is only one thing left in my life other than to be the best chef I can be, and that is to wait for him to come back. I can't hold anything else in my heart other than that. ”

She stroked his hair as gently as he had been when he had been a prototype, and she said again:

"I'm grateful that you've been there for me. You obviously have the ability to charm people, but you didn't force me, you didn't use it on me, and I am also very grateful. Just what you say...... It's impossible. ”

Qing Xuan nodded silently, changed back to the appearance of a fox, and shrank into his little nest.

Zhan Lu sighed.

No matter how good-looking Daoist Qingxuan looked, Zhan Lu never thought of anything else.

If she had met Qingxuan Daoist before meeting Ming Yijun, maybe it would have been a different story. But there are no assumptions. For Zhan Lu, Qingxuan Daoist is still more like......

Pet.

She still has to wait for Ming Yijun in the end.

Time passed little by little, and Ming Yijun never came back.

Not only did he not come back, but he didn't even have any news, and the paper crane that had once spread the news never came again.

And so it went on for seven years.
