Chapter 25: Undercurrents

Hao Chu stood in front of the Yuanxian platform, looking at the abyss under his feet, the wind was steaming, and Fang Xin was in the ascendant, and he couldn't help but look gloomy and said: "The mountains are misty and sunny, and the void rock distinguishes the undercurrent." But I didn't want Emperor Ziwei to know when it came, so he also stood beside Haochu and said: "The Tao is natural, the heart is pure, and the regression is the way forward." Haochu looked sideways at Emperor Ziwei, and couldn't help repeating in his mouth: "The pure heart is the way, and the regression is the forward." Haochu turned his head to look at Yuanxian and groaned for a while: "There is no way back!" Emperor Ziwei looked up at the starry sky and said: "Those who are smart circulators should be abstained from being too observant, and those who are unheard of and rarely seen should be abstained from obscurity." After hearing this, Hao Chu said: "If you don't know it, you may never recover!" Emperor Ziwei said again: "The crossbow of a thousand jun is not a mole mole, and the bell of ten thousand stones does not start with a striker." After hearing this, Haochu lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and the Emperor Ziwei looked at Haochu with a solemn face, turned to the side and said: "Cutting down trees does not take all the roots, although cutting them is still reborn; Love is not exhaustive, and counting the sufferings of rebirth. It is like making one's own arrow, and it hurts oneself; The same is true of internal arrows, which love arrows to hurt all beings. Hao Chu watched Emperor Ziwei's purple robe disappear in the wind, he was very melancholy, his heart was full of sorrow, he let out a long sigh, and moved back to Taiwei Palace.

After Hong Yan quarreled with Xuan Yan that day, he was lazy and lazy, and never went to find that Xuan Yan, on this day, he summoned Hong Yan and asked him how the matter with Xuan Yan was going, and whether he could get the five-color light, this Hong Yan couldn't escape, so he had to tell the truth about the trouble with Xuan Yan.

The sky is beating his feet and annoying this Hongyan is not angry! Hong Yan couldn't, and he left the Demon Venerable Mansion sullenly and wandered around.

But he felt very bored, and as soon as his mind changed, he went to the world. Passing through the bustling market, but inadvertently saw a quarreling couple, the woman's brutal and unreasonable, but the man always accompanied the smiling face and coaxed each other, Hong Yan looked very strange, couldn't help but stop and watch, who expected that the woman saw a majestic and generous son-in-law onlookers, and felt that she couldn't hang it on her face, and immediately put away her ruthless posture, and Lihua ran away with tears.

Seeing this, the man glared at Hong Yan fiercely, and said in a rough voice, "What do you see, haven't you ever seen a husband and wife quarrel?" He also deliberately bumped into Hong Yan when he passed by, Hong Yan was stunned, and was about to make a few moves with the man, but he turned his mind around, and hugged his fists and said: "This brother, I'm sorry, I happened to be passing by, and I happened to see the two of you fighting between the tongues, and I had no intention of peeking, please forgive me!" As soon as the man looked back and saw that Hongyan was extraordinary and polite, he was embarrassed to blame him for his disrespectful words, so he also hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Yunjia, there are many offenses in Shicai's words, please forgive me!" Hongyan hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Hongyan, Brother Yun Jia is in a bad mood, why don't you drink two cups?" Yun Jia was a little surprised to see that Hong Yan was so generous, so he quickly nodded and said: "Okay, Brother Hong Yan is so magnanimous, Yun Jia is ashamed, Brother Hong Yan, there is a drunken Hongxuan on the left turn in front of him, and his daughter Hong is very authentic, let's try it." Hong Yan smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Yun Jia, please." "Hong Yan followed Yun Jia to Zui Hongxuan, looked at the signboard of Zui Hongxuan, is to use a bamboo pole to pick a foot square red cloth, with a small black seal to write three words of Zui Hongxuan, fluttering in the wind, Zui Hongxuan The entire gatehouse is made of bamboo, there is no charm, enter to see, the tables, chairs and benches are made of bamboo, but also chic, but there are many guests, noisy and abnormal, Hong Yan couldn't help frowning, Yun Jia looked at Hong Yan's appearance and smiled, and said to Hong Yan: "Brother Hong Yan, there is a seat in here." After hearing this, Hong Yan laughed unnaturally, watching Yun Jia whisper to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper took the two of them through the hall, lifted the curtain and came out, the first thing that caught his eye was a screen, the screen was painted with the four gentlemen of Meilan, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and it was not much fun, just bypassing the screen, but there was no hole, there was a large blooming pear blossom tree in a small courtyard, the petals seemed to be disobedient jade butterflies secretly flew down so many petals, it was even more interesting, and the fiery red cannas were planted around, and the snow-white pear blossoms contrasted with each other. Go further, a section of the winding verandah that is shaded by the lush thousands of poles and green bamboos appears, a plaque is hung on the upper end of the verandah, the forest is cultivated and bamboo is written in official script, the steps follow that Yun Jia on the verandah paved with gravel, go to the end, only to see the house with the gray courtyard wall, Yun Jia opened the ink paint bamboo curtain, and saw a celadon bottle on the wooden table in the center of the house, and several pear flowers are obliquely inserted in the middle, which is very elegant.

Hong Yan couldn't help but marvel in his heart that this person in the world would really enjoy life, at this time Yun Jia had already sat down, and beckoned Hong Yan to sit down, beckoning the shopkeeper to drink; Hong Yan also sat down, Yun Jia smiled and said to Hong Yan: "Brother Hong Yan, this place can be regarded as elegant and quiet!" Hong Yan nodded and said, "Well, it's very quiet here, isolating the hustle and bustle." Yun Jia smiled again: "What does Brother Hongyan think of the design of the courtyard here?" Hong Yan said sincerely: "Very good! Yun Jia was a little embarrassed and said: "Every flower, grass and tree in the courtyard here is made by Xia Jing. After hearing this, Hong Yan's eyes unconsciously widened, and he was very surprised, only to hear Na Yun Jia say again: "Clumsy Jing has a bad temper, but she is talented and has become a woman!" Hong Yan was even more surprised when he heard this, and said, "Brother Yun Jia, your wife is really lucky to have you!" Yun Jia was a little shy and said: "It should be that I am lucky to have my clumsy three lives!" Humble Jing was born noble, when he was young, he was a great beauty in the capital, but he did not dislike my family's poverty, and was willing to buy wine on the street to help me study, this restaurant was ours. When Hong Yan heard this Yun Jia, he admired him and his husband and wife, raised his glass and said sincerely: "Brother Yun Jia, I respect you, and I wish you two white heads to be inseparable!" After Yun Jia clinked glasses, the two of them leaned their necks and dried up.

Hong Yan asked curiously: "Brother Yun Jia, seeing that your outfit should be an official's dress, why is your lady still running a wine shop?" Yun Jia scratched the back of his head and said: "There are many rights and wrongs in officialdom, I am just a poor boy born in a poor family, pedantic and stubborn, some are not suitable for the officialdom of Yu and me, the higher the position of this officialdom, the greater the risk, everyone is like a red-eyed vicious dog staring at fat, very tired, so I wanted to resign, clumsy Jing also looked at me like this, some are very iron, but I was trembling in that officialdom, afraid of the pond fish!" After hearing this, Hong Yan asked: "Shouldn't it be that the greater the power, the safer?" Yun Jia smiled and said: "Power is a double-edged sword, often while facing others but hurting themselves, besides, most people's original intention of pursuing power is to make their loved ones happier life, but many people lose themselves in the process of pursuing power, and only regret it in the end." Hong Yan asked again: "Brother Yun Jia, have you found the happiness in your heart now?" Yun Jia sighed and said: "The happiness in my heart is the happiness of the clumsy jing, I will be happy, it is good to be able to hold the hand of her son with her, and share the white head in peace." Hong Yan asked curiously: "Madame doesn't seem to understand your affection!" Yun Jia smiled: "She knows my deep affection for her, just like I know her deep affection for me, but we have always only cared for each other from our own point of view!" Hong Yan said: "After listening to what you said, I feel so ashamed!" Yun Jia seemed to see through him and said: "Lost in love? Hong Yan was surprised: "How did you know?" Yun Jia laughed and said: "I see that you are dignified, not a person who spies on the short things in the family, you must have something incomprehensible when you stop and watch my husband and wife quarrel." Hong Yan couldn't help but be embarrassed and said: "If you are really from here, you can see through it at a glance!" Yun Jia raised the wine bottle and said to Hong Yan: "Dry this bottle of wine, my brother will teach you how to coax this woman, hahaha!" "Hong Yan took the wine bottle and leaned his neck to dry!

In this way, the two pushed the cup and changed the lamp until dawn, and both of them were drunk and lying on the table. After Hong Yan woke up, he looked at Yun Jia, took off the demon waist card cast of pig iron from his waist, put it on the table, and left a word: "Brother Yun Jia, thank you for the good wine hospitality, the waist card is left for you, in order to meet him one day!" So he went to the small courtyard and picked a few cannas and went straight to heaven.

Xuan Yan was bored at the moment to put fish food into the fish pond in the courtyard of Huayu Palace, Bi Ying also stood aside with a fish food jar, Hong Yan stepped forward with a smile and said, "The princess is so interested!" Xuan Yan turned his head and saw Hongyan, and immediately pouted: "Why does Young Master Hongyan have time to come to me to disturb him?" Seeing this, Bi Ying hurriedly retreated.

Hongyan sent the canna in his hand to Xuan Yan with a hippie smile and said, "Princess, are you still angry with me?" Xuan Yan didn't take the flowers, turned around and walked towards the palace, Hong Yan followed behind her, Xuan Yan suddenly stopped and stood still, Hong Yan didn't pay attention and almost crashed, very embarrassed, Xuan Yan saw Hong Yan's embarrassed appearance and felt funny, his mood suddenly improved, and he didn't say anything, so he went straight into the palace and sat in front of the tea case, Hong Yan also hurriedly entered and sat down with Xuan Yan.

Xuan Yan said: "Yo, how can Young Master Hongyan be so rude, come uninvited!" Hong Yan put the flowers in his hand on the tea table, and said with a smile: "Hong Yan misses the princess very much, but the princess is as cold as frost to Hong Yan, Hong Yan is so sad!" Xuan Yan's tense face couldn't help but smile, and said, "Hmph! Flim Flam doesn't work with this princess. Hong Yan pretended to be very humble and said: "Hong Yan is wrong, these days, Hong Yan doesn't know the taste of food, and reflects on himself every day, hoping that Princess Haihan will forgive me." Xuan Yan sneered and said, "Just your skin, okay, this princess has forgiven you, take it!" After speaking, Xuan Yan spread his hand at Hong Yan, Hong Yan fell, and quickly put the magic stone in Xuan Yan's palm, Xuan Yan said proudly: "This is about the same, I knew today, why bother in the first place!" Hong Yan said: "What the princess said is very true. Xuan Yan glared: "What, reluctantly?" Hong Yan hurriedly said: "Willing until!" Xuan Yan smiled with satisfaction.

Hong Yan looked at Xuan Yan like a vain child and shook his head, and said in his heart: "Actually, this Xuan Yan is quite simple. ”
