Ming Chongyan appeared in Chang'an again.

Dressed in his signature spotless white robes and neat buns, he rode back to the palace on a tall horse.

On the day he appeared, countless crows gathered in the sky over Chang'an City, as if dark clouds had fallen on the eaves of Chang'an City.

Perhaps because of the neatly trimmed beard on his lips, the officers and soldiers defending the city did not recognize him for a while. He was not annoyed, as he had always maintained his unearthly self-cultivation, and took out the privilege token that Wu Mei had specially made for him from his waist.

After just one glance, the officers and soldiers defending the city were almost frightened. They all thought he was just a legend, but they didn't expect the legendary person to be resurrected, and this crow in the sky seemed to add a legendary color to him.

He walked leisurely towards the center of the palace under the watchful eyes of everyone.

When Wu Mei heard the news of his return, Wu Mei immediately interrupted the courtiers who were reporting his political achievements and went to the harem to see him in advance.

Come to her bedchamber. Ming Chongyan, dressed in white, stood in the courtyard waiting for him. Seeing her appear, he smiled and opened his arms, waiting for her to throw herself into his arms like thousands of maidens.

Wu Mei, the queen of heaven who is the noble of the Ninety-Five, will only put down her shelf in front of him, and let out a strange anger like a young girl with a spring, "Where have you been in the past six hundred and ten days, and you didn't even bring a letter back?" ”

Ming Chongyan gently lifted her chin, stared into her tearful eyes and said, "You actually remember it so clearly? ”

Wu Mei pursed her lips tightly, choked up and said, "You don't want to be beautiful!" I'm only giving you two years, and if you don't come back, I'll forget about you completely. ”

Ming Chongyan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled, smiling like a spring flower, shaking Wu Mei's eyes. As far back as I can remember, his laughter has always been restrained, never so natural. And his hug was warm and powerful, unlike anything he had ever done before.

No desires, no purpose, no elaborate design, as if from the heart.

From the heart? This man ...... Do you have a heart?

Wu Mei looked at him with surprise and doubt, "Chongyan? Where have you been? What's the matter, the whole person is different? ”

Ming Chongyan casually withdrew the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs as if he was in his own home, held her hand, and slowly walked towards the house, "I fought with Li Chunfeng, and was accidentally beaten into a strange world by Tang Ying. ”

This was the first time he had clearly confessed what had happened to him, and Wu Mei was stunned when she heard it. Then she asked, "Li Chunfeng?" Hasn't he been dead for years? ”

Ming Chongyan smiled bitterly, "He died, but because of his cultivation of immortal arts, he was resurrected again." ”

When Wu Mei heard the word resurrection, her eyes couldn't help but light up. You must know that Lu Dao's immortality has always been the ultimate "treasure" that emperors dream of.

Ming Chongyan didn't seem to be happy, but fell into deep thought. Seeing that he didn't continue, she asked, "What happened in the days you disappeared?" ”

Ming Chongyan blinked slowly, suddenly raised his head and said to Wu Mei: "I came back this time and wanted to find a secluded apartment to recuperate, I wonder if you can find such a place for me?" ”

Wu Mei smiled, "Of course, you can be anywhere you want in the whole Chang'an." ”

Ming Chongyan said a place name, probably located in the center of Chang'an City. Wu Mei didn't frown, just clapped her hands and called in Shangguan Wan'er, wrote a "holy decree" casually, and sent someone to empty the room. Whoever lived in it had to move out of the building before dawn. As for how to resettle, you can ask the household department to find another house.

Ming Chongyan had never seen Shangguan Wan'er, and the moment she entered the door, he saw the resolute look in her eyes that was beyond her years. After she left, he said to Wu Mei: "Congratulations, you have found a right-hand man." ”

Wu Mei thought that Ming Chongyan was worried about being replaced, so she hurriedly explained: "Wan'er is just a stinky child who just runs errands. Now that you're back, it's up to you to decide how big and small. ”

He didn't take the opportunity to ask about the situation in the palace, but pointed to the bed and said to Wu Mei: "I'm tired, let's lie down and talk for a while." ”

Sure enough, something was different. Although Wu Mei couldn't immediately describe what was different, she always felt that something had changed in him.

In the dim and quiet room, the two lay side by side on the bed without saying a word. After a long time, when Wu Mei thought that Ming Chongyan was asleep, he spoke, "Mei Niang." We never actually asked each other about our experiences. Now, we're going to have a whole night, do you listen to me, or do I listen to you? ”

Indeed, they have had several of the most intimate contacts, and they have also dealt with many important things side by side in the court, but they have never had an open-minded conversation. She has always felt that Ming Chongyan buried her past deeply and didn't want to mention it at all. I don't know what happened to him, so he finally opened his mouth to talk about his own affairs.

Wu Mei naturally couldn't miss this opportunity, so she immediately replied: "In that case, let's listen to your story." I've lived many years longer than you, and I can't listen to it in one night. ”

Ming Chongyan asked in his nice voice, "Really, you've already thought about it?" ”

Wu Mei put her arms around him and said, "Well, I've already decided." What I want to know most about the Tao in this world is about you. ”

"Even if, isn't that a good thing?"

Wu Mei smiled, "Don't worry, I know that you are not an ordinary person, but it just so happens that I am not an ordinary woman." ”

"Okay." Ming Chongyan passed his arm under her neck, and they snuggled up like a truly intimate couple.

After waiting for a while, he began to speak, "I was born in the family of the eunuch. Since childhood, he has been an unusual child. I can always see things that others can't see, and I can always see dead family members. I wasn't afraid of them at all, but my parents were very scared. When I was 6 years old, I met the god Shirasawa. That's right, it's the kind painted on Bai Zeqi's flag in the guard of honor. It looks like a huge white tiger, except for a long, crooked horn in the middle of its forehead.

I'm sure you've heard of it, as a mythical beast that specializes in slaying demons. He will follow the mandate of heaven and personally teach Bai Zetu to the meritorious Ming Jun in the world to bless the country and the people.

That year, he was going to teach the map to Li Shimin. But on the road I saw me and the many spirits of the dead gathered around me. He said that I was gifted and could become a demon if I hadn't been induced. Therefore, he accepted me as an apprentice and taught me the secret of enchantment on Bai Zetu, so that I could practice diligently so that I could get rid of the evil around me as soon as possible.

When I was young, I practiced hard day and night, and finally I could no longer see these evils. Moreover, I have mastered the spell of restraining all kinds of evil spirits, and I have saved countless people from evil spirits. My parents and family were very happy. They called me the reincarnation of the gods, and even Bai Ze thought I could be his heir.

When I cultivated to the most advanced Bai Ze Immortal Technique. Bai Ze didn't let me practice anymore. He told me that my constitution was inherently unsuitable for cultivating immortality. Because I'm like someone who is naturally inclined to the side of death, and I can't cultivate. ”
