"That's what you think." Changge's gaffe was only for a while, and he quickly eased up and controlled his feelings, and continued to lead Xicheng, who was still a little short-legged, to move forward.
"Dao Nantian used to respect me, and the phoenix itself was more arrogant, and I was used to seeing it, and I didn't think there was anything either. But every year in the Four Noble Truths, many people or gods go to seek Buddhahood, and how arrogant people in the past are about to collapse their spines at that moment, as if they can no longer bear the slightest pressure from others......" He lowered his eyes, looking at the dirt on his shoes, he no longer had the unbearable feeling of the past, "After looking at it for a long time, I feel that my temperament is too presumptuous." It's always good to change it. β
Xicheng opened his mouth to speak, but unfortunately he was suffocated by himself before he could exit.
He remembered that when he first arrived at the Four Truths, he actually felt that this Feng King was very difficult to mess with, and there were many things to do. Although he was already the king of the phoenix at that time, he had not yet accepted the phoenix seal, so he went around looking for things to do for himself...... It's really troublesome tight.
It's just that after all, so many years have passed, and Changge's temperament has long been familiar and can no longer be familiar, such a person can kneel under the Bodhi tree for him and chant for ten thousand years, so much pride has been crushed by himself.
The two of them walked silently for a while, in front of them were the white tiles that only the Temple of Impermanence paved, and the soles of their feet were all dirt, but there was no trace of dirt when they stepped on them.
Xicheng looked at the distinctly colored black and white in front of him, pulled Changge's hand, and said to the guards who had already recognized him and were guarding next to the Hall of Impermanence: "Bother the two of you to avoid it, I have something to say with King Feng." β
The guards glanced at each other, and finally bowed down and walked to a relatively distant place, ensuring the privacy that Xicheng and Changge needed.
Hide from people. They do this kind of work most often, and often Fan Wusu will disappear automatically when they look at them.
The guards looked at each other, laughed dryly, and then walked away a little in embarrassment.
Xicheng didn't leave, so he simply sat down directly on the floor tiles, patted the position next to him, and motioned for Changge to sit down.
Changge didn't move, just stood in front of Xicheng, who had the appearance of a child, and didn't say a word.
"Actually, you told SΓΉ Xishan earlier that you want to marry me as a phoenix, and you also want to tell yourself, right?" Xicheng held his cheeks in one hand, and his red-gold clothes slid to the ground with the momentum, pressing on the grass on the side of the floor tiles, bringing down bursts of shadows.
He saw that Changge still didn't speak, but he didn't have anything, he only shrugged his shoulders, "You know, there is a saying in the mortal world called ...... Does Wang Ba look at mung beans? β
Changge finally frowned and shook his head, "I don't know." β
"Of course, there is a second half of this sentence, which is called looking at the right eye." Xicheng smiled and gestured, put a finger in the middle of his nose, and looked at his fingers, turning into a cross-eyed look, "Look at the right eye...... Got it? I see how you like it, it's good to see it any way. It's called ...... Wang Ba looked at the mung beans. β
"What is the king?" There was a smile on the corner of Changge's mouth, he seemed to understand, but he turned his face sideways to hide his expression, and asked Xicheng a question very seriously.
Xicheng was blocked by Changge, and touched his nose speechlessly, "The thousand-year-old king and eighty-thousand-year-old turtle...... Presumably, Wang Ba is also a sea creature. But that's not the point, the point is, do you understand what I mean? β
"Got it." Changge snorted lightly, grabbed Xicheng's outstretched hand and stepped on the white jade steps, walking forward without a single footprint.
Xicheng shook his head helplessly and indulgently, and looked up at the light that he looked very holy and arrogant, a little difficult to approach, but his heart was also very enthusiastic...... The lazy Feng King, I just think how can there be such a person who can integrate so many advantages and disadvantages into one and let himself like it so much.

When they reached the gate of the Temple of Impermanence, there were two little fairy maids holding flower petals in their hands.
Seeing that they were about to step forward, one of them took a step forward with an extra flower on his chest, and said, "The two Divine Monarchs, please wait, Lord Impermanence is still busy with some things, so it is better for the two of you to go to the side hall to rest for a while." β
"Got busy?" Xicheng was stunned for a moment, then understood, laughed twice, and led Changge to follow behind the little fairy maid.
Changge was inexplicably taken away by him, the long hem of his clothes dragged on the ground, and when he walked around the corner, he actually dragged out a beautiful pattern, "What are you laughing at?" β
"Nothing." Xicheng immediately agreed, looked down at his small body, and suddenly stopped whispering, touching his nose as if he was not so happy.
*
They didn't wait long in the side hall, the temple of impermanence has always had a lot of books, no matter where it is, as long as there is a soft collapse, there is a Xuanshu Pavilion to store books, and when you need it, you only need to pull it lightly to appear, and it doesn't take up space at all.
Changge stayed in the Four Truths for a long time, reading books and Buddhist scriptures every day, plus Xie Bi'an here is a lot of things copied from the Four Truths, after the little fairy maid told him, and then took a copy, but he didn't expect that the more he looked at it, the more fascinated he became, so he simply found a place with better light and read it seriously.
So he left Xicheng alone very bored to look at the Temple of Impermanence that had not changed much in his impression, and from time to time he walked up to Changge and teased him twice, touched his hair and palms, and then secretly kissed him on the face, or pulled Changge's clothes with cheap hands.
At first, Changge would divide his gaze, but seeing that he was just smiling cheaply, he gradually ignored him, and finally simply turned around and looked out the window to read, completely ignoring Xicheng, which seemed to be about to become moldy.
Just when he was bored and began to tree the tea leaves in the teapot, Fan Wusu floated over Shi Shiran.
"Where's Brother Chang'an?" Xicheng glanced behind Fan Wusu and was very unhappy to see him looking comfortable.
Fan Wusu sat idly on the chair, although he still had a straight face, his face was still gentle, "He will come over later." β
"What are you looking for Chang'an?" He asked, and when he saw that Xicheng was embarrassed, he said, "He asked me to sue you, no matter what, there is no need to hide it from me." Even if it's the seal beneath Hades. β
"You know?" Xicheng was stunned for a moment, and then finally opened his eyes and glanced Fan Wuxu up and down thoroughly, and snorted coldly, but when he saw the figure sitting by the window, he still turned his head back helplessly - he was so exaggerated, Changge still ignored him.
He suddenly sat back in his chair and straightened his face, "It's not that I don't tell you, it's just about the sealβyou still don't know a lot." The twin contract between Chang'an and Chaohe has been completely unraveled, and the seal has also strengthened not only one layer, where this layer is, the things outside can't get in, and the things inside can't get out. β
Fan Wuxuan thought for a while, frowned, and after calling someone to come up and change a pot of tea, he also began to wait for Xie Bi'an to come over.
When Xie Bi'an came, Xicheng deliberately looked at Xie Bi'an's pace, but he didn't see anything wrong, even his face was still smiling as before.
When Changge saw Xie Bi'an coming, he put the book in his hand aside and walked over, "Chang'an Shenjun." β
"Long song." Xie Bi'an said hello with a smile and stretched out his hand to sit down.
Changge glanced left and right, ignoring Xicheng's expectant little eyes, and chose to sit on Xie Bi'an's right hand.
Xicheng didn't care at all, jumped off the table and ran to Changge's side and sat down again, and then started to smile with a shy face.
Changge pretended not to care and turned his head, but he didn't hide that smile.
Xie Bi'an smiled lightly, and then said to Xicheng: "It's really good that you're safe and sound." β
Xicheng waved his hand, not caring at all, "The cause and effect relationship has already been decided, between us, it is really unnecessary to talk about this now." β
"If you really feel indebted to me...... I'm here this time, and I really want you to help me. Xicheng looked at Xie Bi'an with a stern face, and his face was very solemn, "I want you to wish me to open the seal of the Hades." β
β¦β¦
"Open the seal?" Xie Bi'an frowned, looking at Xicheng's face that no longer had a cynical smile, "This matter is not something you can do by talking about it. Those seals were set by the Heavenly Emperor, and even if they were to be unlocked, they had to come in person to uncover the dragon seal affixed to them. β
"I know." Xicheng was silent for a moment, and pursed his lips, "I'll ...... this time In fact, I want to ask you for two Buddha bones. β
A 'click' sound of a chair shattering sounded from Xie Bi'an's side, he turned his head to look, Fan Wusu was still expressionless, but the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes went straight to Xicheng, as if he was going to skin him alive on the spot.
"Amnesty, don't get excited." Xie Bi'an hurriedly appeased, and pressed Fan Wuxuan's hand with one hand to prevent him from moving, and he was also a little distressed in his heart...... It hasn't been long since he coaxed Fan Wusu well.
After Fan Wuxu calmed down a little, Xie Bi'an turned to Xicheng and said, "Why do you want to ask me for Buddha bones?" β
Xicheng lowered his head and shook his eyebrows, his eyebrows furrowed, "You should know that gods rarely dream, but if there is a dream, and the dream that appears more than once, it will become a reality later. β
"Once upon a time, I jumped off the seal instead of you, and incarnated into karmic fire to strengthen that layer of seal, which is also something I often dream about." Xicheng said: "Since I was born from the egg, that dream has begun to appear day after day, and I even know that I can't tell people, once I say it, then the consequences will be irreversible." β
Xie Bi'an was surprised, "You ...... at first"
"Yes." Xicheng ignored Changge's gaze, stopped his back strongly, moved his butt to the side unconsciously, and coughed: "It's useless to mention these past events, what I want to say is something else." β
