Chapter 8 The North Lonely City

After returning to Kunwu Mountain together, the two of them entered the house on their own feet, and Qianling changed his clothes and went straight to Tianzun's room. Every time Qian Ling came to Tianzun's room, he couldn't help but secretly admire Tianzun's simplicity and elegance.

There are only three rooms in Tianzun, one bedroom, one study, which is also a place to practice meditation and eat, and one is a place to meet guests. There is only a long rosewood desk in the study, where the four treasures of the study and various scrolls are placed, and several large bookshelves are also piled with bamboo slips, and there is a burning of sandalwood on the side, and there is no other ceramic jade decoration. As soon as you enter the bedroom, you can see the old picture of the four seas and eight wildernesses of Kyushu that hangs on it, and there are traces of modification and redrawing from time to time, and some words have long been blurred. The bed is made of Ruomu, and there is no carving pattern that is very ordinary, but I heard that this is the wood god Gou Mang found for the master, saying that this tree has spirituality, can nourish the body, and can also be refined in cultivation. Qian Ling secretly thought to himself that when the time comes, he will also go to make a crutch for Tianzun to find the Zhushu tree, find the pearl tree with long pearls, the Wenyu tree with colorful jade, the red jade Qiqi tree or something, and make Tianzun's house a good one, and also make something exquisite and elegant. While thinking about it, he shook his head at his vulgarity.

"Master," Qian Ling knocked lightly on the door, but there was no answer in the room, and pushed open the door a few more times, "Old Tianzun, Master Tianzun," Qian Ling looked around and muttered, "Not there."

"Oh, Master, don't knock me on the head with your whisk again, knock, Third Highness. ”

"I knocked it with my hands. Qi Chu turned his hand with a smug expression.

"Master?"

"Master went to the Nine Heavens, didn't Yanqing go too. ”

"Oh, poof, when are they going to be back?"

"I don't know. ”

"Then what are they doing in the Nine Heavens?"

"I don't know. ”

"Then why don't you go?"

"I don't know. ”

"Why don't you know anything?"

"Tell me the truth. Qianling's face was full of black lines.

Qianling hung himself on the tree and dangled in every kind of boredom.

"Third Highness, do you want to have a snack?"

"Don't eat. ”

"Yanqing and Tianzun have been gone for two days, and no one has said how long it will take to come back. Third Highness, today is the Ghost Festival of the human world, let's go and have a look. ”

"People don't go out on Halloween in most places. ”

"Ten miles of customs and ten miles of love, do the three highnesses know the North Lonely City in the North? The annual Ghost Festival in the North Lonely City can be lively, there are two streets crossing each other, what is called, what is the Ten Ghost Street, almost everyone will go to the street, and there will be river lanterns, which is more lively and fun than the Mid-Autumn Festival or something. ”

Qi Chu clenched the chess pieces in his hand tightly, his eyes staring straight at the chessboard,

"Third Highness, are you listening to me?"

Qian Ling immediately came down from the tree and saw the fine sweat on Qi Chu's forehead, "You, are you okay?"

"You've been to the Northern Lonely City, who took you there?" Qi Chu suddenly dropped the chess pieces in his hand and grabbed Qianling's shoulder. I just wanted to test Qianling, but I didn't want Qianling to really know.

"Two, two, Yan Huanghe, and Yanqing took me there. ”

"When?"

"Birth, birthtime. ”

"When?"

"Your Royal Highness, you hurt me. Qianling tore Qi Chu's hand away.

Qi Chu breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm sorry." ”

"It's fine. ”

"Back then, I went through the tribulation in the North Lonely City. Qi Chu muttered.

"Oh. ”

"Let's go. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Don't you want to see the Halloween in the Northern Lonely City?"

"Oh, well, let's go. The thousand spirits were overjoyed, and they swooped up from the ground.

"Third Highness, you should be particularly familiar with the Northern Lonely City, right?"

"It's fine. ”

"How many years have you been through?"

"Sixty-seven years. ”

"So long?"

"Hmm. ”

"Third Highness, these ten ghost streets are still as lively as they were when I was before. ”

"Yes, it's a little more lively than before. Qi Chu should be reconciled.

The people on the street, both men and women, can't help but look at Qianling a few more times, one is greedy for his beauty, and the other is curious about the mark on Qianling's forehead, but the former is more, after all, most of the people outside are still men.

"Hey, why did this Qingyin Building become an inn?"

"What Qingyin Building?"

"There used to be a girl in this Qingyin building who sang beautifully, what is it called, it's so beautiful!"

"It's so good-looking?" Qi Chuzheng wondered, whose name was really good-looking, but he saw that Qianling was attracted by the earrings on the vendor's stall next to him.

"The girl is really discerning, and the girl is really the best. ”

Qian Ling smiled, "Isn't it true that no matter who likes something, you will say that it is the best?" Qian Ling quipped, and the vendor was shocked by this smile and stayed for a while.

"Is it good-looking?" Qian Ling held the earrings and dangled in front of Qi Chu.

"Good looking. ”

"How much does this cost?"

"Five taels of silver. ”

Qianling took off the earrings and was about to put on a new one, when the vendor on the side interjected, "This son, put it on for the girl, wear the ears and ears, take the children with the children, marry the wife with the children, and marry the wife and have a son in the future." The peddler's face was full of enthusiasm.

Qianling's face suddenly turned crimson, "Little brother, you misunderstood. The vendor on the side hurriedly smiled.

"It's okay, I'll do it. ”

Qi Chu took the earrings in Qianling's hand and put them on for Qianling.

"Hiss~"

"I'm sorry, I, I don't know how to. ”

"No, it's fine. Although there was a lot of noise around, Qianling could still hear the sound of his current rapid heartbeat. raised his eyes and quietly looked at Qi Chu, who was seriously wearing earrings for himself, and seemed to have a different kind of affection from the bottom of his heart. Realizing this, Qian Ling quickly diverted his thoughts, what was he thinking!

"Little brother, why are there so many women here today with magnolia-like forehead makeup, I haven't been here before. ”

"I'm afraid the girl is joking, this has been passed down for hundreds of years. ”

"Hundreds of years?"

"Yes, I heard that it was Halloween, a general painted makeup for his wife, his wife was a princess in our northern lonely country before, I heard that this princess likes white magnolia flowers the most, and she was born as beautiful as a fairy. The general is a good hand at fighting, and has recovered many territories for our northern country, but he is merry by nature, who knows that when he meets the princess, he will accept his heart. The two also have a child. I don't know when it was slowly passed down, and women with husbands and families will make such flowers today to show the harmony of husband and wife. ”

"So it is. ”

Qi Chu's hand paused slightly, Qian Ling was a little aware of it, and felt that he was thinking too much, so he asked, "Okay?"

"Well, okay. ”

"But I see that this flower on the girl's forehead is chic, and it looks better than the others. ”

"Really?" Qian Ling smiled brightly, "I was born with this. ”

"Hahaha, girl, don't look for little jokes. ”

"Let's go. ”

"This money is for you. "Qianling has a few taels of silver.

"Ouch, thank you, girl. There are sky lanterns and river lanterns in front of the girl, and there is a tutor workshop to the left, Qingle Building, which has the best singing and dancing in our North Lonely City, and the son can go. As he spoke, he glanced at Qian Ling with bad intentions, and then looked at Qi Chu with a smile in his eyes.

"Thank you, little brother. "Qianling responded generously.

All the way forward, the two of them were bustling with crowds, so lively, some were shouting and shouting, some were setting off firecrackers and fireworks, and so on.

Qian Ling bought two river lanterns on the bridge, "You can put one too." ”

"For whom?" Qi Chu's expression instantly darkened, and then returned to his original state.

I have also heard some things about Qi Chu, saying that the Emperor of Heaven loves Qi Chu's mother Concubine Yao very much, and that Concubine Yao died in childbirth and only protected the child, and I heard that this matter is still related to the Queen of Heaven. Therefore, the Emperor of Heaven loves and hates this son, and he has not managed it for many years, and he has no name and no name in the Heavenly Realm, and only bears the name of the third son that the Emperor of Heaven hates the most, and no one values it in the Heavenly Realm. Fortunately, he got the position of God early, and he was sent to the Tianzun Sect at the age of 10,000, which attracted some attention. But three hundred years ago, he damaged his mother's relics, was degraded by the Emperor of Heaven to the mortal world, lost his gods, scattered his immortal power, and started all over again.

Qian Ling pondered for a moment, "Didn't you say that there is an old man in the Northern Lonely City?"

"She's long gone, and she's restless. ”

"Then you wish her, well, may she, look back at the mortal life, Meng Po Santang forget the troubles of the past, but Qiaodu will be happy in the next life. How?" Qianling smiled brightly.

Qi Chu smiled lossily, "Okay, what about you?"

"I wish the demon world peace, my parents and brothers are safe, I am also safe, Yanqing is safe, Master is safe, my father-in-law is safe, I am safe, I am safe, I am safe, I am safe, I am safe, I am safe, I

Qi Chu replied with a look and said funny, "You wish so much, what do you hear?"

Qianling slowly raised his eyes to look at Qi Chu, the city was full of flowers, the moon invaded the clothes, the lotus flowers were like candles in the river lamp mixed with the clear moonlight reflected on Qianling's cold face, extremely clear, the eyes were clear and bright as if they were filled with the clear glow of the moon, the eyebrows and eyes were flowing like autumn water, like a smile Shengxinghua, and the cheeks were a little shy and ruddy, anyone who looked at it would not feel crazy.

"You are also well. Qian Ling smiled and looked at Qi Chu's eyes and said slowly.

"I will. Qi Chu's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look at Qianling's eyes anymore, only looked at the Xu Xu River lantern floating on the river. Qian Ling smiled secretly, and put down the river lantern along the river, and Qi Chu also put it down.

"Let's go back. ”

"Let's go to Qingle Lou to see the singing and dancing. Qianling didn't care whether Qi Chu agreed or not, and secretly walked forward. changed into men's clothes in a secret place, and brought a half-face mask before entering with Qi Chu.
