After returning to the palace, the high priest and Ji Buyun chatted in the living room for a few words, saying goodnight to each other, she walked to the door of the palace and hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said, "Is it okay to put your fruit with me for safekeeping?"

Ji Buyun knew that she must be hesitating between the two things of connecting hearts and adding a baby, smiled slightly, handed her the fruit, and she quickly lowered her head and slipped back to the dormitory.

When she entered the dormitory to wash up the next day, Ji Buyun saw the two fruits placed on the high priest's pillow in a regular manner, thinking that she was thinking about it over and over again this night, but it was still difficult to make a decision.

After this day, the two of them tacitly no longer mentioned the matter of the Divine Consciousness Fruit, if it weren't for the fact that Ji Buyun could see the two fruits placed next to the High Priest's pillow every day, he would have thought that the Divine Consciousness Fruit had never appeared at all.

After more than ten days like this, this day Ji Buyun moved his fingers when the high priest was practicing, the two of them had been in the secret realm for twenty-eight days, and now the high priest could cultivate in the water for five hours in one breath, only once a day, and after cultivating Ji Buyun carried her back to the dormitory, she could return to normal within half an hour.

After Ji Buyun carried her back to the dormitory today, he waited outside for an hour and didn't see the high priest come out, he hesitated for a moment but decided to go in to find her. I saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a Divine Consciousness Fruit in one hand, her eyes fixed on the fruit, not knowing what she was thinking.

Ji Buyun coughed lightly, and the high priest glanced up at him, and quickly lowered his head again. After a while, she slowly put the Divine Consciousness Fruit in her left hand to her mouth, and with difficulty handed the other Divine Consciousness Fruit to Ji Buyun with difficulty with her right hand. Ji Buyun watched her finish eating the Divine Consciousness Fruit in her hand, took the Divine Consciousness Fruit, gently hugged the high priest, turned around to leave, and a Qianqian Su hand grabbed the corner of his clothes.

After that night, Ji Buyun and the High Priest couldn't recall the taste of the Divine Consciousness Fruit anyway, but they understood what Chaos Qingteng meant by the beginning of the Divine Sense, because there was a desire in this world.

When Ji Buyun woke up the next morning, the high priest was still asleep in his arms, and looking at her flawless face, he couldn't help but kiss her forehead gently.

The Divine Consciousness Fruit has not brought any changes to his Divine Consciousness yet, however, he feels that this Divine Fruit is definitely a good thing, and the good ones couldn't be better.

The high priest kept his head down after waking up, his face was red, and he didn't dare to say a word, no matter what Ji Buyun said, she gave a soft "um".

When the two came to the lake, Ji Buyun was thinking about how to persuade the high priest to cultivate according to the method in the book, when he heard the high priest give a low "um", and then she pointed to the palace.

Ji Buyun immediately understood that the high priest now knew what was in his heart, but unfortunately, he didn't know what she was thinking.

Ji Buyun hid at the gate of the palace and watched from a distance as the high priest walked to the lake, took off his clothes, and walked into the lake water as flat as a mirror.

Unlike usual, this time she had just sat down in the lake, and the lake was filled with surging waves, as if it were about to turn the world upside down, and the whole lake was boiling, the waves shook the sky, and the broken jade flew. The lotus flowers that filled the lake bloomed brightly, reflecting rays of light, all gathered in the center of the high priest's eyebrows.

Ji Buyun was worried that the high priest would have an accident, so he hurriedly ran to the lake.

I saw the fish swimming at the bottom of the lake rushing into the light one after another, shining a red light, and then disappearing. The cyan light behind the High Priest converged into a complete Qingluan pattern. Qingluan fluttered her wings and soared around her in the stormy waves. She rose into the air with Qingluan, emitting a holy light from her body, which seemed to have some kind of mysterious attraction, and the light on the lotus flower flew towards her one after another, merging into the holy light on her body.

After all the light on the lotus flowers disappeared, the high priest's body was full of light, and all the swimming fish turned into red light and disappeared into the light, and the lake was turbulent and surged into the sky, and peace was restored in an instant.

She floated in the air to the red stone, and the red flowers on the stone emitted a dazzling red brilliance at the same time, the brilliance was like a beating note, revolving and undulating rhythmically around her, constantly pouring into the center of her eyebrows, and between the light of the flowers, the light on her body was even stronger.

After the brilliance of all the flowers was extinguished, the high priest fainted again on the beach. Ji Buyun hurriedly dressed her and carried her back to the dormitory, this time, she didn't wake up soon.

Ji Buyun stayed by her side, helpless, anxious. After three or four hours, the high priest woke up slowly, and Ji Buyun noticed that there was a small red creation flower mark on her eyebrows, faintly shining with a faint light.

The high priest woke up and drank a glass of earth water, looked at Ji Buyun and smiled weakly, fell asleep again, and slept until the next hour before waking up again. She looked at Ji Buyun who was guarding her side and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Ji Buyun hurriedly said: "How do you feel? ”

The high priest said: "It feels good, it's okay, it's just that when I cultivate, I feel different from the past, my expression is in a trance, my mind is blank, as soon as I enter the water today, the waves are surging, I just used the aura but I can't mobilize it, and then my eyes lit up, everything around me appeared clearly in my mind, and I saw it clearly when you ran from the palace." Then a big blue bird lifted me up and flew with me in the sky, and the creation flowers bloomed one after another around me, and then I didn't know anything. ”

Ji Buyun told the high priest about the situation he saw yesterday, the actual situation is basically the same as what the high priest felt, according to the book, this situation means that the high priest's divine consciousness has entered the realm from the door mirror, but what does this mean, it is not written in the book, and the two of them can't figure it out. What's even more strange is that yesterday the high priest could already feel what Ji Buyun was thinking, but now he can't feel it.

Could it be that after the mirror was broken, the divine consciousness regressed? The two looked at each other, and neither of them could say why.

The two walked out of the palace hand in hand, only to see that the original vibrant lake was now only a monotonous blue, the lotus flowers all over the lake had disappeared, and the golden bottom of the lake had disappeared the shadow of swimming fish.

At this time, the morning sun that had been hanging in the eastern sky began to rise slowly, and a layer of mist surged up on the surface of the lake, enveloping the figures of the two people, and Ji Buyun hurriedly took the hand of the high priest. The fog grew bigger and bigger, and a gust of wind blew, and the two of them rose with the wind in the thick fog, and the sound of dragons and tigers roaring faintly came from the wind. The two of them who were blown by the wind couldn't open their eyes at all, and they didn't know the north, south, west, and east. Ji Buyun hugged the high priest tightly, and the high priest buried his head in his arms and hugged him tightly, lest the two be blown away by the wind.

After a while, the wind stopped and the fog dissipated, and the two of them slowly fell to the ground, and when they opened their eyes, they saw that the place where they were was the Hajj Mountain when they came, and in the hands of the high priest, there was an endless bottle at some point.

Look at where the sun is, it's noon.

The high priest returned the endless bottle to Ji Buyun, he hesitated slightly, but still took it in his hand and put it back on his waist, this is the queen's thing, he can't give it to the high priest without permission.

"A month, that's fast. The High Priest sighed.

Ji Buyun couldn't help but ask her, "Didn't you stay enough?"

The high priest looked at him bravely this time, smiled and said word by word: "It would be good if such a fairyland could let me stay for the rest of my life, especially with you." ”

After saying that, he couldn't help but lower his head and blushed with shame.

Ji Buyun pointed in the direction of the Luoshen River and said, "Let's go back, Duo'er." ”

The High Priest let out an "um".

Ji Buyun pointed to the red robe on her body and asked, "What should I do with this dress you are wearing?"

The Highlanders forbade anyone to wear red, not even the High Priest, and it was difficult not to be held accountable by the Senate if they were seen.

The high priest thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back from the back mountain, it's the priest's exclusive place, and no one else is allowed to enter. ”

The two of them went on the road hand in hand, this time Ji Buyun could jump and glide in the air to his heart's content, the high priest was as light as a swallow, he only needed to take a light touch, and she would follow him into the air.

The two agreed on the road, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, omitted the section where the two of them entered the secret realm together, Ji Buyun said that he got lost in the mountains after falling down the mountain stream, and the high priest said that she took two small priests into the secret realm to practice, and was in distress on the way, and the two little priests unfortunately died. Speaking of the two little priests, the high priest's eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

The two of them hurried very fast, looking at the river as if it was far away in the sky, in fact, it only took more than an hour, they came to the grassy river, and then walked up along the river for less than an hour, and then saw the priest's courtyard. The two of them bypassed the front gate of the priest's courtyard and turned along the path to the back mountain, and walked through a pine forest to the back mountain gate. The separation is imminent, the high priest is finally not so shy this time, holding Ji Buyun and reluctant to let go, the two of them have been in the dense forest in front of the mountain gate until the sun is waning, and then they say goodbye.

Ji Buyun watched the high priest walk into the mountain gate in the woods on the side of the road, and watched more than a dozen priests happily welcome her in, before returning to the gate of the priest's courtyard and returning to Haotian City along the bluestone road.

Thinking that he would be able to see his uncle, ants and others immediately, Ji Buyun's feet were full of wind and returned to his heart like an arrow. As soon as it was dark, he came to the bluestone bridge over the Luoshen River. On the bridge stood dozens of Praetorian Guards armed with torches, led by none other than Captain Ao Xian, his top boss in the Senate garrison and an expert in the military formation.

The sharp-eyed captain saw that it was Ji Buyun, held his head in his hands and shouted, rushed over to hug him, and the Praetorian Guards on the bridge were overjoyed, rushed over and surrounded the two in the middle, waving torches, and shouting excitedly.

Later, the captain who calmed down immediately arranged for the herald to pass the news of Ji Buyun's return to the Senate, the Priests' House, the adults, the Praetorian Guard Headquarters and the Praetorian Guard departments that were still searching for Ji Buyun in Fuyu Mountain. At this moment, the Praetorian Guards on duty nearby heard the news, and hundreds of people gathered on and under the bridge, and everyone happily shouted around Ji Buyun, as if they were welcoming a general who had returned triumphantly.

Captain Ao Xian gave an order, and the Praetorian Guards, led by the captain and Ji Buyun, lined up in a neat military formation, and marched towards Haotian City. Loud, neat shouts resounded in the sky, and hundreds of torches reflected in the sky.

On the way, Captain Ao Xian whispered to Ji Buyun: "Brother, you have a great good thing." ”

Ji Buyun immediately understood that the news that the high priest was going to marry him must have been known to everyone in Haotian City now. Although the High Priest said that only ten adults knew the meaning of the creation flower, rumors had wings, and if one of them showed the slightest hint of something, it would immediately fly all over the city.

Ji Buyun pretended to be confused and quietly asked the captain what was good, and the captain smiled and said nothing.

While speaking, Ji Buyun's uncle, Lord Buyun, Ji Cheng, and Ant rushed over with the Ji brothers and housekeepers, accompanied by more than a dozen elders. As soon as Lord Buyun saw him, he jumped off the horse, hugged him with tears in his eyes, and choked up: "Thank you Haotian." Ji Cheng and more than a dozen elders gathered around the two of them, sighing again and again, some said that Ji people have their own natural appearance, some thanked Haotian, and some directly slapped at Lord Buyun, describing how Lord Qiyun was anxious recently, unable to sleep and eat, taking the lead, and sleeping in the mountains to find Ji Buyun, as if everything was what he saw with his own eyes. Only the ants hid on the side of the road with the Ji brothers, looking at him with a smile.

When Ji Buyun's uncle's mood eased slightly, Ji Cheng came up and congratulated Ji Buyun, and then said something in the ear of Lord Buyun, and Lord Buyun nodded in agreement. Ji Cheng waved his hand and beckoned the Ji brothers, and after two commands, the two brothers flew away.

Lord Buyun called Ao Xian, whispered a few words, the captain nodded again and again, and then arranged for the two deputy captains and Lord Buyun's butler Bu Yunsi to fly away together.

On the way back to Haotian City, Lord Buyun pulled Ji Buyun and said to Ji Cheng and the elders: "Thank you Haotian, if this child has an accident, how can Lord Ben explain to his deceased parents, fortunately." After saying that, the tears flowed again.

Ji Cheng and the elders hurriedly persuaded each other, and Ji Buyun couldn't help but shed tears on the side.

There are thousands of people waiting for them at the city gate, and in the middle of the city gate are the other eight adults of the highlanders except for the high priest and the master Buyun according to their age and seniority, behind them are dozens of elders, and then behind are the heads and faces of Haotian City, hundreds of Praetorian Guards are guarding all around, and idle people are strictly forbidden to approach. Outside the cordon, on the roadside behind the city gate, and on the rooftops were full of spectators, and the highlanders who heard the news of Ji Buyun's return came to watch this high priest who would rather not ascend the throne as a king than marry a mixed-race child, and they all wanted to see what kind of style this Janissary Guard, who was known as the most handsome in the past three hundred years, and there were many people who were familiar with Ji Buyun, who were gossiping about him to the surrounding crowd.

Lord Buyun hurriedly took Ji Buyun forward to meet the adults, and the eight adults expressed their greetings to him, and he also expressed his gratitude to the adults, among them, Lord Buyun Zhifeng showed his return with great sincerity. After the ceremony, Ji Cheng made a circle to all the adults and elders, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Central Plains Empire, the prince Ji Qiangong, thank you for coming to welcome the safe return of my son-in-law. ”

Lord Buyun followed Ji Cheng's words and said: "Rank, give Lord Ben a face, no one is allowed to leave, Buyun, this child is blessed by Haotian, and finally returns safely, Lord Ben's hanging heart can finally be put back in his stomach, everyone must accompany Lord Ben to have a few drinks today." ”

The adults and elders agreed.

Captain Ao Xian shouted loudly to the thousands of Praetorian Guards behind him: "In order to congratulate our Captain Ji Buyun on his return, Lord Buyun has prepared good wine and meat in the Chamber of Commerce Hall, brothers, let's get drunk today." ”

The Praetorian Guards shouted "yes" in unison.

On the way to the Central Plains Xingguan, Ji Cheng and Lord Buyun told Ji Buyun together that his powerful uncle Ji Qian, who was powerful in the Central Plains Empire, had no children under his knees, and intended to take him as his adopted son, who was closest to the blood relationship.

If this news was received when he just came out of the queen's cave palace a month ago, then he would definitely be ecstatic and did not hesitate to return to the Central Plains Empire with Ji Cheng, and taking the queen back to the Central Plains Empire to settle down was planned by the two of them a long time ago, and now with the high priest, everything has changed, and he can't just leave, so he can only make another plan.

After a noncommittal "um", Ji Buyun looked at his uncle, and Lord Buyun said, "Brother Ji Cheng, this matter is not in a hurry, we will discuss it in detail another day." Ji Cheng could only nod yes.

The Central Plains Pavilion is located in the southeast of Haotian City, in order to show the national strength of the empire, the construction was extremely extravagant and luxurious. Today, the already magnificent hotel is full of lights, and the sound of silk and bamboo is endless, which is a little more lively than the senate during the Haotian Mortal Festival. Ji Cheng led everyone to the spacious and exaggerated banquet hall, and everyone sat down according to their identity, age, and seniority after greeting for a while, under Ji Cheng's humility and pleading, Lord Buyun took Ji Buyun to sit in the main seat as the master, and Ji Cheng stood in the middle of the ground like a housekeeper and looked around, not caring about his dignified identity as the Western Shepherd of the Central Plains Empire.

After a plate of delicacies with the characteristics of the Central Plains Empire was served, the highlanders who were good at wine did not need to be the host Zhang Luo, and they drank it lively. The elders usually live separately in various places, and today they get together, and those who are close to each other naturally form a small circle after drinking a little drunk, reminiscing and pouring wine. The wine was drunk until midnight, and most of the adults and elders who were usually dignified and sanctimonious were already drunk and lying under the table and dispersed.

Before leaving, Lord Ao Zhiwu, the marshal of the standing army, deliberately pulled Ji Buyun to chat for a long time in a conspicuous place, he was still very sober after drinking countless wines, his expression was calm, talking and laughing, he was gossiping, he specially mentioned that he had heard his sister say that Ji Buyun was the most handsome Praetorian Guard in three hundred years, and he made a special trip to the Senate with his sister to see his interesting stories, Ji Buyun modestly said that the Praetorian Guard or anything was a joke, and the adult was a beautiful man recognized by everyone, and the two laughed at each other. Ji Buyun knew that this adult had been with him for a long time, not giving him face, not even his uncle's face, but more of their family's face.

The drunk adults and elders had their own retinue or carried or helped home, and under Ji Cheng's pleading, with the consent of Lord Buyun, Ji Buyun stayed in the Central Plains Hotel.

Ji became Ji Buyun specially prepared an elegant courtyard in the Central Plains Hotel. said that it was another courtyard, and the actual area was much better than that of Uncle Ji Buyun's house. The main building of the courtyard is a typical Central Plains Empire style, bamboo and wood are intertwined, carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, the yard is full of Qihua Qiong grass, and Ji Buyun is dazzled to see.

Ji Cheng specially told Ji Buyun that only four maids could enter this courtyard, and the rest of the people, including him, were strictly forbidden to enter.

Lying on the large, soft bed in the bedroom, Ji Buyun caressed the queen's primordial imprint on his chest, and secretly thought, this first step of the plan can be realized without his own trouble, if the queen has not returned to the Central Plains Empire when she recovers her body, she can let her live here.

Ji Cheng deliberately put the relevant documents of the emperor canonizing him in the bedroom, and also put a copy of the imperial geography, Ji Buyun searched for a long time before finding Dongyang County in the eastern seaside of the empire. The geographical chronicle records that Dongyang County has a population of 260,000 households and 1.8 million people, rich in salt and iron, and he briefly compared, although the territory and population of Dongyang County are not as good as those famous cities and counties in the hinterland of the empire, but it can also be regarded as a middle and upper county, thinking that such a big place will be his own after thinking of it, Ji Buyun can't help but feel a little fluttery.
