Chapter 181: Li Yan'er
"Sister, is it so coincidental?" a lazy and magnetic female voice came from behind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sister?Yun Xuan turned his head, and saw a pair of beautiful men and women walking towards them along the small bridge, the man was quite handsome, but because of the presence of the woman next to him, he seemed to be much more discolored, like a green leaf. Therefore, Yun Xuan's gaze swept over his face, and naturally fell on the woman's body. In terms of appearance, the woman and Li Wan'er are seven points alike, and she is stunningly beautiful, but compared with Wan'er, she is a little more coquettish, two points weak, and three points tender, especially the pair of curved eyebrows, as if it can make all the mundane affairs in the world fade here, and even the lake around her seems to turn into a faint mist, surrounding her.
"Hello sister, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Li Wan'er smiled indifferently, without the surprise of the sisters' reunion in the past ten years, nor the coldness of pretending to be posturing, it felt like greeting an ordinary friend.
Yun Xuan's heart froze, he had heard Tang Kuan mention before that Her Majesty's children had always been at odds, and in order to compete for imperial power, they had all kinds of intrigues and deceits, which could be described as endless. It seems that this matter is not groundless, otherwise Li Wan'er would not have gone to say hello to her sister after returning to the imperial city for many days.
The two greeted each other very politely, and introduced each other's male companions, it turned out that the man next to Li Yan'er was Ji Changyue's only son Ji Yunxiang.
Yun Xuan maintained a faint smile and greeted Ji Yunxiang to each other. However, Li Yan'er seemed to be quite interested in Yun Xuan, and when her eyes swept over Yun Xuan several times, she would pause slightly, but the other party always maintained that just right friendly smile on her face, which could only make Li Yan'er think that the other party was just a handsome young man.
She smiled and said, "Brother Xia Qi, it is said that you are still a bounty monk! Yan'er respects the bounty monk the most, it is precisely because of your existence, because you have contributed generation after generation of strength to the peace of the Kyushu continent and the prosperity and prosperity of the Apocalypse Imperial City at the cost of your lives, Yan'er and the Apocalypse Imperial City will always thank you for your high righteousness." ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you are too polite, this is my lifelong honor......" Yun Xuan said with a faint smile, but recalled in his heart, in Tang Kuan's mouth, isn't Li Yan'er an ordinary woman who obeys her words?
Li Yan'er smiled coquettishly, even everything in heaven and earth seemed to dim a little at this moment, Yun Xuan's heart beat violently a few times, and he couldn't help but marvel in his heart, in terms of charm alone, Li Yan'er is not necessarily much inferior to Wan'er!
Li Yan'er turned her gaze back to Li Wan'er and asked with a smile: "Sister, what topic were you and Xia Qi Daoyou discussing just now?
Li Wan'er smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing, it's just about what the purpose of cultivating immortals is." ”
Li Yan'er asked with interest: "With the wisdom of my sister and Xia Qi Daoyou, there must be some clever conclusions, right?"
"Nope. Li Wan'er shook her head with a smile and said: "After all, we are in the game, and for the purpose of cultivating immortals, we can only indulge in it and not help ourselves, and we can get by day by day, how can we have any high opinions......
Li Yan'er glanced at Yun Xuan, there was no expectation in her eyes, but Yun Xuan pursed her mouth, obviously she didn't want to say anything, so as not to inadvertently say the wrong thing and cause some unnecessary trouble.
Regarding Yun Xuan's reaction, disappointment flashed on Li Yan'er's face.
Li Wan'er said with a smile: "For this issue, it's better for my sister and Ji Daoyou to also come and express their opinions!"
Li Yan'er turned her head and said with a light smile: "Yunxiang, let's talk about it!"
Ji Yunxiangjun's face flushed slightly, he looked up at Li Yan'er, and then secretly glanced at Li Wan'er, before he said in a slightly nervous tone: "Yunxiang is not talented, I just think that cultivating immortals can be compared to any of our ordinary days." ”
"Oh?" even Li Wan'er responded with interest.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Ji Yunxiang's face, Ji Yunxiang's face turned even redder, and he said softly: "The morning is like when I first entered the Immortal Gate, the yearning for spells and Taoism is full of vitality and longing, and at noon, it is like full of self-confidence, full of energy and strength after breaking through the realm of cultivation, and in the evening, it is like a monk in his last years, full of memories and ......."
Ji Yunxiang's voice gradually deepened, as he saw disappointment flash across the faces of the two stunning beauties.
Yun Xuan couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth, this Ji Yunxiang may be purer than his father Ji Changyue, but his ideas and opinions are very poor!
Li Yan'er smiled softly and said, "Yunxiang, what you said is good! However, sister, what they are discussing is the purpose of cultivating immortals, not the process of cultivating immortals. Well, but you use a day to compare the process of cultivating immortals, and this metaphor is also quite shining. ”
Li Yan'er's gentle comfort suddenly made Ji Yunxiang smile heartily, but Yun Xuan's heart was awe-inspiring, Li Yan'er was not easy to deal with interpersonal relationships in general, and it was even more difficult for Ji Yunxiang to successfully dress up an image of "gold and jade, and defeat in it", he should have been able to deceive everyone well, but the clear eyes from beginning to end, coupled with the faint mockery that flashed in his eyes when Li Yan'er spoke, all fell into Yun Xuan's eyes.
It can be seen that the intrigue and deceit in this imperial city are everywhere!
Ji Yunxiang looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "Yan'er, let's tell me your opinion, right?"
Li Yan'er smiled slightly and said, "The purpose of cultivating immortals, alas...... Why don't I tell you a story about an ancient monk?"
After focusing the eyes of all the listeners on herself, she smiled and said: "In ancient times, there was a genius monk, by chance she found that she had always been in an illusory world, no matter where she went, everything around her was like a dream, and even sometimes made her forget herself, at first she was very depressed, very confused, almost into madness, but she quickly cheered up again, and set a goal for herself, that is, to escape from this illusory world......"
Yun Xuan's eyes lit up, and his gaze moved back from the ripples of the lake, looking at this stunning beauty again.
Li Yan'er continued to say lightly in a lazy tone: "She spent a lot of time and energy, and finally with her perseverance, she cultivated the ability to reach the sky, stepped through the void, and left this illusory world......!
Li Wan'er's cherry lips moved slightly, as if she had been touched by something in her heart, but in the end, she didn't say anything, just waiting for Li Yan'er to continue to tell the story.
Li Yan'er's beautiful eyes were hazy, as if the most poignant and moving essence of the surrounding lake water had turned into mist, which filled her surroundings, and continued: "This genius monk felt desperate, but she quickly pulled herself together and tried to survive in this new illusory world, looking for a way out, and when she stepped through the void again and left this illusory world, the same thing happened again......"
Li Yan'er completely fell into the emotions she had weaved, and her eyes left the faces of the audience, cast her eyes on the end of the distant night sky, and said softly: "So later, that genius monk fell into this dead loop, escaped from the illusory world, and entered the new world, full of hope, despair, and hope......"
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and the whole world seemed to be the breath of thought at this moment.
Ji Yunxiang asked in a low voice: "Yan'er, what about later?"
Li Yan'er smiled and said, "The story of the ancient monk has come to an end......! Maybe she died in one of the illusory worlds in the end, maybe she walked out of that illusory world and finally came to the real world outside, who knows!"
Yun Xuan's heart trembled, an ancient monk who was used for experiments, kept trying to escape, but in the end he couldn't escape the grasp of fate. Just like us, we are constantly striving to improve our cultivation, one realm after another, and finally find ourselves in an illusory world all the time...... Is this Li Yan'er's current outlook on life? Isn't it too negative?
Li Wan'er and Li Yan'er looked at each other for a while, and then the former said: "Sister, your outlook on life is much more positive than before, I'm glad to hear such a story......
Yun Xuan couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, if such a positive outlook on life was true, what should Li Yan'er look like in the past......
Li Yan'er called "sister", shook her head again, she didn't know what she wanted to express, she frowned and thought for a while, and then said lightly: "The family dinner arranged by my mother is about to start, sister, let's go back and prepare for ourselves!"
……
The family dinner in the Imperial City of the Apocalypse is not grand, compared to the extravagance of the royal families of most countries, this dinner is simple, and even a little shabby, but it can also see the frugal lifestyle of the contemporary empress.
Only members of the royal family and nobles were present, as well as some important officials in the court.
At Yun Xuan's initiative, he was assigned to the seat where Tang Kuan was, which certainly aroused Shi Luohua's dissatisfaction, but also gained Tang Kuan's further favor.
The whole dinner process was uneventful, and at the end, Yun Xuan received an unexpected invitation, and Her Majesty the Empress actually invited him to the stargazing platform to admire the moon. It wasn't an invitation that Yun Xuan was willing to accept, but he had to go.
