While eating dinner, Lu Xiaoxian recalled the meeting with Xue Huaiyi.

At this moment, I suddenly saw Zhang Meng rushing into the house and shouting: "Quick, go and see, it's on fire!"

"What?" Lu Xiaoxian threw down his chopsticks, took three steps and ran outside the house in two steps.

Sure enough, from a distance, the fire in the direction of the imperial city reflected half of the sky.

"Where is this on fire?" Lu Xiaoxian asked with a frown.

"It's supposed to be heaven!" Tan Kong whispered to the side.

"How do you know?" Zhang Meng looked up and down at Tan Kong.

"I often go to heaven with Master, and the direction of the fire should be heaven, and it won't be wrong!" Tan Kong said with a glance.

"The little guy knows a lot!" Zhang Meng sighed.

"I'm not a little guy, I'm an entourage dedicated to protecting Childe!" Tankong said solemnly.

"You protect him?" Zhang Meng looked up and down at Tan Kong, and laughed without warning.

"That's it! Stop it! Lu Xiaoxian suddenly scolded.

Zhang Meng's laughter came to an abrupt end.

Against the backdrop of the firelight, Lu Xiaoxian's face was a little solemn.

The fire was ferocious, and the northwest wind was added, and soon it was connected to the main building Paradise, the fire burned crackling, the nearby residents were alarmed, felt out the boring gong, knocked indiscriminately, the people in all directions were boiling, shouting for fire, the bronze bell of the palace alarm in the distance also rang, and several military camps by the palace also took action, and the whistle of the assembly was more urgent than the last, sharp and piercing......

The fire crackled and burned, the fire borrowed the wind, the wind borrowed the fire, the fire was so fierce that people could no longer get close, but forced the people who were fighting the fire to retreat again and again. Everyone waited for the people to carry water and tools, and they turned around in groups, in a hurry, unable to put out the fire.

I saw that the fire head went straight south along the wind, and next to the south of heaven was the majestic and magnificent Ming Hall with a height of 294 feet and a square of 300 feet, and the people exclaimed: "It's over, it's over, it's over." ”

The fire approached the Shangming Hall, the Ming Hall are all wooden buildings, more delicate, when you see the fire, in an instant, the fire in the Ming Hall burns, the fire soars to the sky, and the city is as bright as day.

The fire in heaven naturally alarmed Wu Zetian, and she walked out of the dormitory to the porch to see the fire in the sky.

At this time, the palace members of the court and the palace bureau had arrived, and they made statements and asked His Majesty for instructions.

Wu Zetian, who was pale, was silent for a long time, only dropped a sentence, and then turned around and went back: "Quickly investigate the cause of the fire!" ”

Wu Chenghe, the soldier and horse envoy of the five cities who was responsible for the security of the capital, did not dare to slack off, and slipped the little official guarding heaven out of his home that night, and after the sudden trial, Wu Chengsi rushed to the palace and reported to Wu Zetian: "After Xue Huaiyi sent people away, he was alone in heaven. He has never been seen again after the fire, and according to the ministers, the cause of the fire is likely to be related to the national teacher. ”

"What? Xue Huaiyi? Wu Zetian was shocked, "Hurry up and find him, you want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when you die!" ”

Among all the lovers, Xue Huaiyi is the one who has been with her the longest, and he is also the one who has been with her for the longest time. Before Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong, Xue Huaiyi was her main lover, she once indulged him, and she once missed him. Now, the lover is gone, in case it ......

Wu Zetian didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The people of Luoyang were alarmed, put their hands on the pergola, and looked at this nameless fire stupidly. The fire burned all night, and compared to the dawn, the unprecedentedly majestic Ming Hall was burned to the point that only the black shelves remained. Broken bricks and tiles, broken walls, desolate after the catastrophe, shocking. Those golden phoenixes and golden dragons burned and fell to the ground, their heads still facing the sky, as if they were wailing.

Wu Chengsi didn't find Xue Huaiyi after all, whether it was a living person or a corpse.

It is rumored by the people of Luoyang that Xue Huaiyi sat in the firewood and meditated, and he had been incinerated into an immortal.

In the morning, all the civil and military officers were cautious and greeted the empress together.

Wu Zetian sat on the dragon bed, his cold face was frosty, how long his old face was stretched, and he didn't squeak for a long time. For Huaiyi's death, she couldn't accept it. Recalling the pleasure of the White Horse Temple, at that time, her life was stronger than now, and at that time, her mood was better than now.

Seeing that Wu Zetian was silent on the dragon chair and in a bad mood, Zuo Shi Zhang Ding stepped forward to persuade him: "Actually, there is nothing bad about a fire, as the saying goes, the fire of the 'Fire Flow King House' shows my Great Zhou Zhixiang even more." ”

Hearing this, Wu Zetian's face soothed a lot. Tongshi Sheren Xiao Min also came up to make fun and said: "When Maitreya became enlightened, there were also heavenly demons burning the palace, and the seven treasure platforms built were scattered and damaged, and today the hall was burned, which shows that Maitreya Buddha is the true predecessor of the emperor." ”

When Wu Zetian heard this, his heart was greatly relieved, and he finally set the tone: "The fire in the Mingtang is reportedly analyzed, and it seems that the apprentices in heaven burned the hemp master by mistake, so it was extended to the Vientiane Divine Palace. Since it was an oversight at work, I didn't think I needed to pursue it any further. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian paused and said, "Burn it!" Why not rebuild one? ”

Hearing Wu Zetian's words, the ministers looked at each other, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts: If you want to build it, how much silver will it cost?

Lu Xiaoxian stupidly locked himself in the room, and Xue Huaiyi's shadow was always shaking in front of him: one would be a nine-year-old girl, and the other would be a big monk.

Xue Huaiyi's voice came vaguely, seemingly with a strange rhyme and singing voice, slowly spreading into his eardrums like a tide, from his ears to his brain and heart...... He gradually felt groggy, and for a while, it seemed that time had stood still, and he only saw the only clear firelight: the sky-high firelight, slowly moving and dimming!

Lu Xiaoxian finally couldn't help but blurt out in surprise, vigorously dispelled the fog, searched around, and shouted at the voice in the void, but everything was in vain.

He finally woke up to the meaning of Xue Huaiyi's words: "After tonight, you will understand tomorrow!" ”

Xue Huaiyi wants to travel back to the afterlife in this way, has he succeeded?

There is no way to verify, and this helplessness makes Lu Xiaoxian fall into hesitation again.

For three days in a row, Lu Xiaoxian didn't eat or drink in the house, and he was anxious about Yin Feng Langyue and Zhang Meng. They didn't know what happened to Lu Xiaoxian, of course, only Tan Hollow understood why Lu Xiaoxian did this.

Zhang Meng couldn't help it, and wanted to go into the house to have a look, but was stopped by Tan Kong: "Childe has confessed, he wants to be quiet, and no one can disturb him!" ”

Xue Huaiyi instructed before leaving that he should protect Lu Xiaoxian. Tankong took Master's instructions to heart, and he knew that this was his mission and the meaning of his existence. Since Lu Xiaoxian told Tan Kong to stay here, whoever wants to enter the house has to step on his corpse, and there is no other way to do it.

"You!" Zhang Meng pointed at Tankong, but he was helpless.

If he wanted to be someone else, Zhang Meng would have thrown him aside a long time ago. But he couldn't do it to Tankong. I don't know where Lu Xiaoxian found such a monster, he didn't follow the rules at all when he got into a fight, he made a strange move, and he greeted the key points as much as possible, which made people unguardable.

Zhang Meng has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is very skilled, but he does not take advantage of Shangtankong at all. If it weren't for Tan Kong's mercy, I'm afraid he would have suffered a big loss.

I couldn't beat it, and I couldn't get in, which made Zhang Meng very annoyed.

The two were in a stalemate, when the door suddenly opened, and Lu Xiaoxian walked out with his hands behind his back.

He was smiling, his eyes were clear, and his whole body revealed a steady elegance.

"Xiaoxian, are you okay?" Zhang Meng asked eagerly.

"What can I do?" Lu Xiaoxian snapped his fingers and said, "The days have to go on, don't they?" ”

That's right, the days have to go on.

Xue Huaiyi has his life, whether he really returns to the afterlife or not, but Lu Xiaoxian knows that it is impossible for him to follow him. Xue Huaiyi does not have the slightest attachment to this world, but Lu Xiaoxian is different, there are still many people around him who care about him, and he can't leave them alone.

Life is like a story, the important thing is not how long it is, but how good it is. From today on, he should always smile, abandon impatience, and seriously appreciate the beauty of this world.

patting Tan Kong's shoulder, Lu Xiaoxian said leisurely: "We will all miss him, you will follow me in the future!" ”

Tankong nodded, and a crystal tear slipped down his face.

Zhang Meng looked at the two of them inexplicably, and was full of doubts in his heart.

Looking at the cramped and restless Yin Feng and Lang Yue, Lu Xiaoxian stroked his stomach exaggeratedly, and pretended to be dissatisfied: "What are you two still doing here, my son is dying of hunger!" Hurry up and get something to eat! ”

"Hey!" The sisters happily agreed and flew away like butterflies.

Five days later, Lu Xiaoxian came to Shangqing Palace again. Xuanxu's illness is cured, and he must take Xuanxu down the mountain as soon as possible.

Speaking of this cooking competition, in fact, Lu Xiaoxian didn't care too much about it. If it's just the world's number one chef himself, even if he wins, it's not a big deal. But the problem is that there is Wang Hufeng behind him, and there is a Lai Junchen hidden behind Wang Hufeng.

In any case, you can't let these two people see their jokes, the more you retreat against such people, the more they will gain an inch, and only a strong counterattack can make them retreat.

Because of this, Lu Xiaoxian is so concerned. For him, it's a battle that can only be won, not lost.

As soon as he entered the mountain gate of the Shangqing Palace, he saw a person standing there from a distance.

Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help sighing, could this spirit bead be a prophet, why would she always wait here every time she came?

Stepping forward hard, Lu Xiaoxian was about to say hello, but he heard Ling Zhuzi's angry and crisp voice: "Lu Xiaoxian, you bastard." ”

Lu Xiaoxian was confused, he didn't recruit her or provoke her, what's wrong with her here?

Before he could answer, Lingzhuzi asked another series of hateful questions: "Last time you were asked to see Wuchenzi, why didn't you go?" Where have you been these days? Do you still have her in your heart? ”

Lu Xiaoxian glared at her, and couldn't help but slander in his heart: What does it have to do with you, it's really a dog meddling with a mouse!
