After the four valley lords of Shibuya entered Hengguo, they went their separate ways to their respective destinations. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info took the north of the four valleys of the main Qu Yuehuai, and arrived at the town at the foot of Ci'an Mountain on December 15. Since it was already dusk, Qu Yuehuai decided to stay in the town for one night, and took advantage of the clean night to visit Ci'an Temple and put on a stick of incense.

After dinner, by the quiet moonlight, Qu Yuehuai walked up the steps along the mountain path southeast of Ci'an Temple and entered the temple gate. Passing through the King Kong Hall in the middle of the road, the Tianwang Hall with a peculiar structure, and the simple and solemn Daxiong Treasure Hall, Qu Yuehuai walked into the Lamp Buddha Hall located in the backyard.

At this time, next to the incense burner in front of the Buddha Hall, Helian Jialu, who had entered the temple earlier, was holding incense candles and lighting a row of lamps and candles on the east side. Yelu stood in a corner of the courtyard, quietly waiting for Helian Jialu. There is no incense burning in the incense burner, but the smell of sandalwood still fills the air, and it seems that the incense in the incense burner has not been burned out for a long time.

Qu Yuehuai's gaze swept over Helian Jialu and Yeluji, and through the clothing, he judged the status of the two of them slightly, and then looked at Helian Jialu again. The moonlight at night was too soft, and the light of the lamps and candles was a little dim, Qu Yuehuai couldn't see Helian Jialu's face clearly from a distance of a few zhang, but after feeling this face, it could already be seen that he was in good shape and had a noble family background.

At the moment when she looked at Helian Jialu, Qu Yuehuai nodded slightly to her and said softly:

"Excuse me. ”

Helian Jialu shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:

"Childe is coming to light the lamp?"

Qu Yuehuai followed Helian Jialu's line of sight, turned around and looked at the west side of the table where lamps and candles were placed in the shadow of the trees opposite, and in a blink of an eye, she seemed to understand a certain obsession contained in Helian Jialu's hesitation, so she replied:

"I came down to make a wish. Let's prepare for the lighting of the lamp next time. ”

As soon as these words came out, the tension in the air suddenly dissipated, as if returning to the state before Qu Yuehuai appeared. Then, Helian Jialu silently replied to Qu Yuehuai, and then turned around and said no more.

Next, Helian Jialu lit all the lamps and candles on the east and west sides in turn, and Qu Yuehuai lit three incense sticks to worship, and then knelt down on the worship mat in front of the hall and made his wish to the Buddha statue:

I am willing to take revenge with my brother and get back everything that the Qu family should have, but I hope not to hurt the innocent and get what I want as soon as possible.

On the branches of the moon, the three people in the same courtyard deliberately converged their sense of existence, and the two parties did not interfere with each other, forming an inexplicable balance.

Leaving Ci'an Temple and walking to the foot of the mountain, Qu Yuehuai and Helian Jialu found that they had stayed in the same inn with each other. When there was still some distance from the inn, Yelu deliberately slowed down, so that he and Helian Jialu and Qu Yuehuai opened a certain distance. Qu Yuehuai didn't say anything, and walked into the inn first.

"You're on the lookout for that son. Helian Jialu whispered.

"There are many forces of the original Yi Kingdom dormant in Hengguo, and before leaving, the emperor specially instructed that the whereabouts of the princess should not be revealed, so as not to get into danger in the jade drive, and Yelu should be cautious. Jeruz replied respectfully.

"During this period, I was also worried about causing unnecessary trouble, so I hid my face during the day, and I didn't want anyone to enter the temple tonight. ”

"But in this son, it shouldn't hurt that he didn't notice the dangerous aura. Yelu was next door to keep vigil for the princess, and the princess rested early. ”

"Well, thank you. ”

In the early morning of the next day, Qu Yuehuai, who went downstairs for breakfast, and Helian Jialu, who had just finished breakfast, met again.

Qu Yuehuai had already recognized Helian Jialu on the stairs, and the feeling of meeting at this time seemed to be different from the night before, but before he had time to think about it, Yiren disappeared from front of him.

Immediately, Qu Yuehuai sighed in her heart, how could she have the leisure time to chase that wonderful feeling. After having a simple breakfast and preparing enough dry food, Qu Yuehuai headed northwest to the border between Heng and Nan.

At the same hour, Tian Qianli, the lord of Shibuya Nanachiya, appeared in a nameless stele forest south of the former capital of Yiguo and the present-day Yicheng of Hengguo. The trails along the way are far-reaching and long, and the forks in the road are similar and difficult to distinguish, but Tian Qianli is familiar with the road and goes straight to a certain direction.

When he was approaching his destination, there was a faint smell of wine in the air, Tian Qianli looked at the small wine jar he was carrying, and made sure that the mouth of the altar was not opened, so he couldn't help but slow down his pace, and took a few steps forward very lightly, and then stopped in place. In his field of vision, the figure of Zhan Duxiao, the palace master of the Demon Palace, suddenly appeared.

In front of the twilight night, there is a lonely tomb with an unnamed stone stele, in front of the stele enshrined four-colored fruits, next to the fruit plate there is a wine jug, two empty wine glasses, and there are traces of spilled wine on the ground.

Tian Qianli looked at Zhan Duxiao from a distance, and what appeared in front of him was the image of a young man holding a peach in his hand and handing it forward, and he couldn't help but have a sneer on the corner of his lips, and when he was thinking about whether to step forward, he saw Zhan Duxiao kneeling down in front of the nameless stone monument and making a serious sacrifice. For a while, Tian Qianli only felt that his heart was soft, and he seemed to be a little warm, and then he frowned at his reaction, a little annoyed, a little helpless, and quite contradictory.

Patiently waited for Zhan Dusk to leave, and after half a pillar of incense time, when he was far away, Tian Qianli moved towards the stone tablet again, and then lifted the seal of the wine jar, put the wine in front of the grave, and said softly:

"Today, Zhan Dusk came before me, I read his favor, the eldest brother's plan can be pushed to March, and when the fourth brother, the fifth brother and the sixth sister have made their own progress, it is not too late to make a move on the Demon Palace. ”

After muttering a few words, Tian Qianli's tone changed, and he said:

"Don't talk about that. Fourteen years have passed, the world has changed, the country of Yi has been destroyed, and Emperor Jing, who was once invincible, also committed suicide by drinking poison. As for me, I'm still the same, I like to be at ease in Dongzi Peak, but every time I go back to Lingmiao Peak, my brother and sisters are there, and I feel at home, oh yes, and the eighth sister who often quarrels with me, it's actually quite lively. In a word...... The days are not too lonely, but sometimes, I miss you very much. ”

Tian Qianli blinked, withdrew the wetness in his eyes, smiled hard, and continued:

"I'm going to have a good chat with you today. After that, since the target is in Bay City and there is plenty of time, I will make a detour to Yaocheng, say goodbye to my righteous brother, and then observe the collection of Chihua Weapons Store, and say that my brother will keep me for the New Year and eat dumplings. The night country is not happy to eat dumplings, it is rare to come to Hengguo, and you always have to eat back to your roots. ”

~~~

Three days later, in the famous Taifeng Restaurant, the main voice of the six valleys, which is also from Shibuya, is feasting on the dumpling banquet on the table.

Growing up in the Night Country since childhood, Yinyin has heard of dumplings for many years, and it is the first time that he has really had the opportunity to taste them, and he can't help but be surprised and admired. Compared with the "slightly exaggerated" reaction of the people around her, she inadvertently attracted the attention of the neighboring table.

Approaching the end of the year, Princess Fu Youting returned to Hengguo Province, and King Fu Yuanhan was still handling official business in Gudu because of his responsibility for material supply. On this day, Yuan Han, who was out of the palace to forage for food, sat down at the table, and was attracted by the sound full of emotion for the food in front of him.

Yin Yin noticed Yuan Han's gaze, couldn't help but stop his chopsticks, and whispered to himself:

"I've never eaten anything like this...... Dumplings. Isn't it disturbing the people next to you? ”

When Yuan Han heard this, he smiled apologetically and said:

"The girl has a temperament, and she is rude. ”

Yinyin turned his gaze to Yuan Han, looked at it for a moment, and said:

"Childe is a local. ”

"Well, it's in the city. The girl doesn't look like a lonely country, and she didn't often touch dumplings in the past, so I guess that the girl should be from the night country, right?"

"Childe is right. Yinyin nodded and said, "It's always been a bit of a pity for me to not be able to taste the food of the lonely country, and this time I just want to feel and record my experience of all kinds of food." ”

"The girl really has a heart. ”

"My mother was a female official in the palace of the Night Kingdom, and it was my mother's wish to write a book. Although Yinyin doesn't have the talent of her mother, she also wants to do her best for this expectation. ”

"Nowadays, the "Records of the Wind and Soil" circulated in various countries have chapters on geography, agriculture, and customs, but there is no systematic chapter on diet. If one day the book on meals is written, you should read it first when you make a vow. ”

"Then the part of the book about the lonely country, I have to ask the son to correct one or two. ”

"It is incumbent upon us. Yuan Han thought for a moment and said, "During the period when Miss Yinyin is in the lonely capital, if there is a place where you need manpower, you can come here to find me." I always miss the food in this restaurant every few days and come to taste it. ”

"Yin still doesn't know what to call Childe?"

"In the lower hara. ”

"Original Meaning...... Is it Emperor Xuan's younger brother, King Fu Yuanhan?"

"Exactly. ”

"Ah, when I first came to Guidu, I actually met a big man. ”

"The girl is gracious. ”

"Since King Fu has a word, can you ask the prince to help Yinyin make a list? ”

"Hmm. I'll write a list today and let Jun Yin deliver it tomorrow. Yuan Han said, introducing Jun Yin to Yin next to him.

"The prince is familiar with this restaurant, so Yinyin will live in Taifeng Restaurant. ”

"Good. ”

Yin Yin showed a soft and harmless smile to Yuan Han, and couldn't help but say proudly in his heart: Even if the first step is completed, there is still time for the next, let's play slowly.
