Ye Lan said goodbye to Ning Zhan, left the Forbidden Palace, and went to the National Teacher's Mansion to find Shi Jing, and told Shi Jing about Ning Zhan's intention to make him a national teacher. When Shi Jing heard this, he was shocked at first, and then his face was happy, and he said: "I was expelled from the Tianxing Sect, although it has been peaceful for the past year, but the Tianxing Sect is determined to refuse to stop here, I can say that I am in danger all the time, and now the emperor has named me a national teacher, and his intention is only to use me to demonstrate to the Tianxing Sect, and I have the position of the national teacher, the Tianxing Sect is not easy to come to me to find trouble, this move can be said to be a good thing for me and the Holy One to take what they need." Haha, Brother Ye, you let me live in this national teacher's mansion, but you really had the foresight, and now it saves me the trouble of moving. ”

Ye Lan smiled, and told him that he was going to leave Beijing, Shi Jing was very reluctant, and ordered someone to clean up the banquet, and the two of them had a few glasses of water and wine, Shi Jing asked: "Brother Ye is going to Yuhong City to contribute to the righteous path of subduing demons?"

Ye Lan sneered slightly in his heart, and said secretly: "With my brother's little catty, I can't do anything about this...... but he said: "I haven't received an invitation from the head of the Heavenly Dragon outside the sky, so I won't be cheeky and volunteer." It's just that I have two righteous brothers who belong to Taixumen and Mingde Academy, and I want to come to Yuhong City this time, so I will come and see the two brothers, and I will take a look at the excitement by the way. ”

Shi Jing nodded and said, "I see." He groaned slightly, drank a glass of wine, put down the wine glass and continued: "Brother Ye, you have had a festival with the Outer Heaven and the Heavenly Sect, and that day the Outer Heaven is just going back, this time the Jade Rainbow City is full of righteous ways in the world, and the Outer Heaven is the largest faction in Northern Xinjiang, and the leader of this demon subjugation plan, so naturally I will not disregard your face and embarrass you for the trivial things in the past." But the members of the Heavenly Movement Sect don't have so many scruples, if they meet you, they will definitely come to you for trouble, and you must be more careful at this time. ”

Ye Lan said: "Brother Shi, don't worry, there are not many people in the Tianxing Sect who have seen me, and there are tens of thousands of monks who have gone to Jade Rainbow City, where can I meet them so coincidentally?"

Shi Jing nodded and said, "That's right, but it's always better to be careful." ”

Ye Lan and Shi Jing have often met in Beijing in the past two years, at this time they suddenly want to say goodbye, they are a little reluctant in their hearts, the two drank until late at night, Shi Jing repeatedly told Ye Lan to return to Ningdu in the future to come to the National Teacher's Mansion to meet, Ye Lan nodded again and again in agreement, and then returned to Ye Xiangju drunk.

When he woke up on the second day, he ordered Chunyun to call Lu Jun, Du Changxian, Qiu Haizheng, Qiu Siyu, Du Yuanfeng, and Lu Tao, and said goodbye to them. Everyone is mortal, and when they heard that the righteous path gathered to subdue the demons, they didn't take it very seriously, anyway, when the sky fell, there were these immortals on top, and there was no need for them to worry about ordinary people. But when Ye Lan said that he would not come back for at least a year, everyone was sad. Qiu Siyu's face was even more frustrated, and he muttered: "I haven't taught you how to visit the kiln, why are you in a hurry to leave?"

As soon as the words fell, I only heard a snap, and the back of the head had been slapped by Qiu Haizheng, Qiu Siyu was furious, covered his head and jumped to his feet and said: "You are such a son as me, beat me stupid, see who will give you the incense!"

Qiu Haizheng raised his eyebrows, raised his palm and wanted to fight again, but Ye Lan stretched out his hand to hold it, only to hear Ye Lan smile and say: "In terms of martial arts, Siyu is already a first-class player in the rivers and lakes, and his internal skills are higher than Uncle Qiu's. But every time you hit him, you hit him with a dozen. For the sake of his filial piety, Uncle Qiu should beat him less in the future. ”

Qiu Haizheng sighed lightly, put away his palm, Lu Tao smiled slightly, and said to Ye Lan: "There are still more than twenty days before the Demon Suppression Conference, the young master is leaving, and he is not in a hurry, let's feast for the young master for three days." ”

Ye Lan said with a smile: "Among us, Lu Tao, you have the smallest amount of alcohol, but your breath is so big, if you really feast for three days, you will be drunk and drunk to death." Chunyun, you go and tell the kitchen to prepare a feast, of course this candied wine should be drunk. ”

Chunyun listened to the order, nodded, stretched out his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes twice, and went to prepare wine and food with red eyes. Everyone had a big feast, and Ye Lan said: "I have a sister named Ye Bing, who should have reached the Yufeng Realm in the past two years, maybe she will come to Ningdu when I am not in Ye Xiangju." If I haven't returned when she comes, remember to tell her not to run around, and stay in Ningdu until I come back. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, Qiu Siyu put down the wine glass, and asked with a big tongue, "Bing...... , What token will the young master of ice bring when he comes, otherwise if someone pretends to be, we can't see a girl and worship her as the young master. ”

Ye Lan said with a smile: "The ice girl looks seven or eight points like me, you will never admit your mistake when you see it." ”

Qiu Siyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but laugh twice, Ye Lan looked at it in his eyes, and also smiled at him, and said: "Siyu, my sister is used to being pampered by us on weekdays, and her temper is much bigger than that of me as an elder brother." You'd better be honest in front of her, less nonsense, think that when I first came to Ye Xiangju, you came up indiscriminately with a sword, if you dare to do this to her, I'm afraid you can't keep this trick. ”

Qiu Siyu waved his hand and said: "Young master, don't worry, don't say that you meet the young master of ice, even if you meet another girl, I will only be rude, not forceful, so I will never inadvertently offend the young master of ice, and I can still keep this trick." ”

Ye Lan smiled and didn't speak, Du Yuanfeng beside him pointed at Qiu Siyu and laughed: "Siyujing can brag, where can you kid be rough and movable?" Obviously it is a chopstick, but he wants to say that it is a snake spear, no wonder he can't even ask for a mother-in-law now, which girl do you say is willing to follow you?"

Qiu Siyu was furious, waved his hand and smashed the chopsticks in his palm towards Du Yuanfeng, and scolded in his mouth: "The embroidery needle is embarrassed to talk here, your second room beats you with all kinds of torture instruments all day long, what is it for, can't you guess when you are Lao Tzu!"

Qiu Haizheng and Du Chang saw that the two guys were so unbearable, and they were so angry that their old faces turned red, but they raised their eyes and saw Ye Lan watching it with relish on the side, laughing back and forth, but they were not good at attacking, so they had to each grab the fat sheep and roast the deer and gnaw wildly, as if it was two squishy meat to bite hard.

Everyone drank until late at night, and on the second day, Ye Lan Fang wanted to get up, but everyone came to his small courtyard early, and kept it again and again, and it was still like this on the third day, so it really held a banquet for three days in a row, and then sent Ye Lan away from Ye Xiangju.

Ye Lan left the Jingshi, did not take out the Heaven and Earth Compass, and flew all the way to the southwest. He walked the road from Yuhong City to Ningdu once four years ago, and now he has turned back the same way, and the scenery on the road is still the same, and he is still alone. At this time, there are still more than 20 days from the Mid-Autumn Festival, he is not in a hurry to hurry, when he was looking for a new place to play along the way, but now he is more willing to revisit the old place, when he met the town he had played, he often pressed the cloud head, looking for the inn where he ate and stayed to rest for a night, and then went on the road the next day.

Walking all the way, the more you go southwest, the more monks you see in the air, and later, you will always see three or five groups of monks flying south in a day, and from a distance, it will look like a flock of geese, and it is magnificent to see.

To the day of Yuhong City, only the third day of the first month of August, when he stayed in this city for more than a month, quite experienced a wind and rain, this time to the city, do not want to think, and went straight to the Mianxiu Pavilion where he lived that year.

Walking into the store, Xiao Er had already come up to greet him, but Ye Lan ignored Xiao Er, walked straight to the counter, stretched out his palm and patted lightly on the counter, and smiled at the person behind the counter: "Shopkeeper Liu, long time no see!"

Shopkeeper Liu was looking down to settle the accounts, when he looked up, he saw Ye Lan's face, he was slightly stunned, and then his complexion changed greatly, he took two steps back, and even the chair behind him knocked down, and stammered: "Ye Gongzi, I didn't have a way back then, the steel knife was on my neck, I didn't dare not say it, you have a lot, just spare me!"

When Ye Lan saw his appearance, he was taken aback, and after thinking about it, he understood. He had a grudge with Lingyuezong back then, this shopkeeper Liu saw that his buddy Xiao Liuzi was killed by Lingyuezong's minions, he couldn't stand the fright, so he told the minions of the whereabouts of the jewel, Ye Lan didn't know the safety of the jewel at the time, and when he left, he put down his words, saying that if the jewel had three long and two short, he would never spare the shopkeeper Liu. Later, Ye Lan rescued the treasure bead and helped her embark on the real path of cultivation, the treasure jewel traveled far away, and never returned to Yuhong City, this Liu shopkeeper did not know the whereabouts of the treasure bead, so he was always frightened, for fear that Ye Lan would come back to find his bad luck. Who knew that four years had passed, but he had been safe and sound, and the shopkeeper Liu forgot about it, but today Ye Lan suddenly came to the door, but how could he not be afraid?

Ye Lan figured out the cause and effect, and thought of Xiao Liuzi again, sighed softly, and said softly: "Shopkeeper Liu, don't be afraid, I saved the treasure jewel back then and sent her out of Yuhong City safely. ”

When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, his face was immediately relieved, he felt that his feet were soft, he sat down on the chair, stroked his chest and gasped for a few breaths, and then said: "That's good, that's good!"

Ye Lanjing waited for him to come to his senses, and then asked, "I plan to stay in Yuhong City for a few days this time, I wonder if the small building in the middle of the lake where I lived back then is still empty?"

Shopkeeper Liu listened, his face showed embarrassment, Ye Lan knew that the right way in the world gathered in Yuhong City, although Yuhong City is the largest city in the southwest of Nanhua, there are countless inns in the city, but there is no store to live in, but the monks are not short of money, and the store has always chosen the best inn, this Mianxiu Pavilion is quite famous in Yuhong City, at this time it is only ten days away from the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the upper room in the store is afraid that it has already been filled with monks of various factions who came in advance.

Ye Lan thought of this section, and felt a slight regret in his heart, and was about to say that he could live in another room, but he heard the shopkeeper Liu hesitantly say: "Since the son left, I didn't dare to let others live in this small building in the middle of the lake, and I have kept it for the son, but in the past few years, the residence has not been taken care of, I'm afraid it's a little dirty, Ye Gongzi will use some wine and rice here first, and I will ask someone to clean up the small building in the middle of the lake!"
