18. Fate
"Is the emperor's mother-in-law okay?" Xie Bi'an took a white scarf and moistened it with warm water, wrung it clean and handed it to Di Xiu, who was sitting quietly on the side, and then guided him to cover the scarf over his eyes.
"Good." Fan Wuxuan nodded casually, playing with a bone chain made of a hundred bones in his hand, found a place to sit down, and watched Xie Bi'an busy back and forth.
It wasn't until Emperor Xiu's eyes were wrapped around a long strip with a thick seal that Xie Bi'an withdrew his hand, stood in front of him and said, "Childe can go back now." ”
"Aqing...... Where is it......? Di Xiu's voice was very hoarse, as if it was as shrill as scrub after not speaking for a long time, Xie Bi'an poured him a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and replied: "He was taken back to Qingqiu by Bai Zhan Shenjun." If you want to find him, you must first control the three thousand Shura Dao in the underworld, and then ask the emperor's mother-in-law to give you the seal of the underworld. ”
Anyone who lives in the inner realm of the underworld, no matter who they are, as long as they enter and leave the underworld, they must wear the underworld seal, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu have the seal directly engraved by the Hades seal, and the authority is that there is basically no place that cannot be gone in the underworld.
The authority of Meng Poyin under Meng Po is also similar, but the scope of jurisdiction is different, but the authority to enter and exit the underworld is also there.
Di Xiu fell silent when he heard this, staggered to his feet with the armrest on his side, and raised his weakness, as if he was very weak and wanted to bow to Xie Bi'an very seriously, but his body could not complete it.
"Emperor Xiu, thank you two Divine Monarchs." After saying this, he seemed to be struggling with all his strength, and after two breaths, he walked slowly towards the door with a trembling step.
Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu kept watching from behind, and no one wanted to go up to help him.
It wasn't until the figure disappeared at the door that Xie Bi'an turned his head to look at Fan Wusu and said, "The matter of Emperor Xiu's son is over, and you can rest for a few days before going out." You say, where do you want to go? ”
"The lantern festival in Kyoto in February is about to be opened." Fan Wusu's eyes looked very bright under the illumination of the glass lamp on the side, and Bai Guwai also emitted a faint halo as if he felt the master's heart.
"Chang'an, you promised me before, as long as their affairs are over, they will go to see the Lantern Festival together." Fan Wusu struck while the iron was hot, grabbed Xie Bi'an's sleeve and shook it twice, looking at him without blinking.
Xie Bi'an just hesitated, and then agreed in an instant, "Okay." ”
He said early on that he wanted to come to see the Lantern Festival in the world with Fan Wusuan, but there was always no time to push it again and again...... Counting it, in fact, in the thousands of years since Fan Wusu was brought back to the underworld, he really hasn't played well with him.
When he was a child, although Fan Wusu loved to be clingy, he was really sensible, and he never took the initiative to say what he wanted, and he had to coax him to ask a sentence or two.
Now he finally has what he wants...... It's just a lantern show.
Xie Bi'an was dressed in white and Fan Wusu was walking on the road in black, the two deliberately concealed their aura, and they looked like two handsome boys, one elegant and the other cold-faced, but when they looked at each other, they could only see each other's smile and trust.
When Fan Wusu was halfway through shopping, he bought a lotus lantern for Xie Bi'an, and there was a layer of water barrier on the base, which could be used as a wishing lamp.
Fan Wuxuan, who has not been childlike for a long time, found out that Xie Bi'an liked this lamp and immediately bought all the lotus lanterns on the stall owner, and the stall owner was stunned to temporarily close the stall, and personally drove the car to put those fragile lanterns on the riverbank one by one.
There are also many people who put lanterns by the river. Now that the government is open, women no longer have to be confined to their homes during the New Year's holidays, but can play on the street alone, but after all, the family is worried, for the sake of safety, the girl will always be accompanied by one or two maids or relatives.
"Chang'an, you come along." Fan Wuxu's face was a little red under the reflection of the candle flame in the world, and his smile was bright as if he was about to melt the day that had not yet fully warmed up in February.
Xie Bi'an couldn't help but laugh when he looked at his smile like that, rolled up his sleeves, took the fire fold in Fan Wuxuan's hand and lit the candles one by one, and then put the lanterns into the river one by one.
"Actually, these are just the wishes of some mortals." Xie Bi'an stood on the shore with Fan Wusu with his hands in his hands, watching the lanterns gradually drift away, and there were newcomers constantly putting all kinds of lanterns, "When these small rivers finally return to the sea, these lanterns will all sink." ”
Of course, Fan Wusu knew this, so he just smiled and glanced back, and said: "Happy is, if you only put the lanterns, you can make your wishes come true, wouldn't this world be chaotic." ”
"Did you have fun?" Xie Bi'an thought about it, took the initiative to take Fan Wuxuan's hand and took the person to a secret place, and then drove the cloud away from the ground, and only revealed his figure in mid-air.
It's a time of day when the streets are lit up and the city is filled with joy, and there are many people setting off firecrackers in the streets.
"Isn't it even better to look at it here?" Xie Bi'an simply sat on top of the clouds, holding his chin and looking at the happy vendors and people buying things below.
"It's really different." Fan Wusu looked at the people around him.
In the past, he lived in the world, and he worked hard every day to feed and clothe, and those festivals were never prepared for them.
Later, he went to Hades, and when he passed by the world, he was just doing business, and it had nothing to do with him how others were warm or cold.
Once it was envy, then it was indifference.
It wasn't until now that Xie Bi'an felt that the lights in the world were actually so lively, so lively that they were just walking in the crowd, looking at the smiling faces, they would feel very happy.
