When Hu Xianxian was quietly enjoying the scenery, those people who were competing in poetry argued.

A scholar said: "Where is this Hu Xianxian's article good? Now it's the end of March, how can there be begonias and pear blossoms? ”

Ruan Shaolun said: "As long as the rhetoric is beautiful, what do you do with these details? ”

The scholar asked rhetorically: "If you don't pick the details, how can you convince the public?" ”

There was another commotion, and Hu Xianxian walked into the pavilion where the poetry meeting was held. She patted the scholar who roared the most, pointed in the direction of the other side of the lake, and raised her head.

The scholar looked at the place where Hu Xianxian was pointing: the top of the small hillside on the shore of the lake was full of pale white pear blossoms, blooming like clouds and snow; And a few red begonias are blooming under the slope, like a red glow.

The scholar sneered: "Why is this year's season so late? ”

Ruan Shaolun smiled heartily, "There are many rainy days this year, and the flowers will bloom a little later. It is also in the mountains and forests, and it is inevitable that the flowers will bloom later than in the gardens of the city. The real scenery is always changing, and the flowers do not have to follow the rigid seasons recorded in the books. ”

Hu Xianxian smiled gratefully at him, and went to see what Ruan Shaolun wrote.

Nguyen Shao Lun wrote:

The emperor of spring in the world is frightened,

Caught off guard.

Splashing ink into the lake to paint the scenic spots,

A good time in heaven and on earth.

Hu Xianxian praised: "Ruan Gongzi writes very well. The seemingly simple sentence writes the scenery of the Ink Lake perfectly, and it is also wonderful to say that the source of the ink of the water of the Ink Lake is the ink splashed by the inkstone of the Emperor of Heaven. ”

Everyone praised Ruan Shaolun for writing well, but Ruan Shaolun had to say that Hu Xianxian wrote well.

The controversy attracted Duan Mengrou, who was resting after the puja, to also come to comment, and everyone knelt when they saw her coming.

Duan Mengrou supported Hu Xianxian, who seemed to be kneeling but didn't kneel, and said with a smile: "At this moment, you don't have to be formal if you are traveling to the spring and have fun with the people. ”

Hu Xianxian immediately straightened his waist, and everyone got up.

Duan Mengrou looked at everyone's poems and texts, and said with a smile: "They are all good poems and good essays, each with its own merits." Well, Xianxian, I didn't expect you to write very well. It's just, how do you write the last paragraph of your article like this? ”

Hu Xianxian smiled lightly, "I haven't seen the true face of the golden dragon after his ascension, and I always feel that he is dead." I'm writing nonsense, so don't care how you write it. This Ruan Gongzi's poems are very good, Duan Tianfei, can he be rated first? ”

Duan Mengrou glanced at Ruan Shaolun, "It's really good." Not only is the choice of words and sentences good, but this dare to say that the spring scenery in the world can move the momentum of the Emperor of Heaven is better. As he spoke, he turned back to a kind-looking Taoist aunt next to him and said, "Miaoxu, give a hundred taels of silver to Ruan Gongzi." ”

Ruan Shaolun was about to excuse himself, but Hu Xianxian took the silver taels from Shui Miaoxu's hand and forced them into his hands.

Ruan Shaolun respectfully thanked Duan Mengrou, she just waved her hand.

Duan Mengrou asked Ruan Shaolun to step aside, and said to Shui Miaoxu: "Miaoxu, everyone here has given five taels of pen fees. In addition, all the poems were written down by Ma Shuo. ”

After arranging these things, Duan Mengrou said to Hu Xianxian: "Xianxian, you accompany me for a walk by the lake." ”

Hu Xianxian walked with her by the lake, and walked for a long time, but neither of them spoke. They have their own hearts, how can they be interested in enjoying the scenery? It's just that the two of them walked slowly on the lakeside, which became a different scenery in the eyes of tourists.

Duan Mengrou was wearing a silver cast hibiscus crown inlaid with purple jade, wearing a light purple cloud pattern robe, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her expression was dignified, which made people dare not look directly but couldn't help but want to take a closer look.

Hu Xianxian knew that he would see Duan Mengrou today, and he didn't dare to dress too casually, he was dressed in a water blue robe, without lines and embroidery, but he was also elegant. Half of the long hair is inserted by a silver hairpin on the top of the head, and half is left behind the head, blowing lightly in the wind. At this moment, she had a cold expression, which showed that her face was bright and graceful.

In the eyes of those tourists, Duan Mengrou is just like a lotus flower in the water, and Hu Xianxian is like a small flower next to the lotus.

Hu Xianxian himself had a different idea in his heart, he wore a Taoist robe without Taoism, and wore a Taoist bun but inserted the ordinary silver hairpin used by the laity, which was really not like the Taoist and vulgar four things. Walking beside this Duan Mengrou, it was really awkward, and her face was sour.

Walking to the tomb of Mo Jinmian, Duan Mengrou pointed to the tablet and asked Hu Xianxian: "Do you think I'm hypocritical?" forced Second Brother Mo to death, but deliberately made up stories to make the world admire him? ”

Hu Xian Xian glanced at the stele, stared at the lake, and pretended to say in a deep voice: "If Mo Jinmian had been cultivating wholeheartedly, he would have already turned into a dragon." He did so many things, but he chose to do it that way. And how you do it is only your own choice. ”

Duan Mengrou sighed lightly: "If the choice is different, the ending will not be the same." Thinking about it carefully, Second Brother Mo is also quite stupid. Even if he can make the fairy world chaotic, if the eldest brother can't be resurrected, he can't see that kind of scene, what's the point? ”

Hu Xianxian chuckled, "For you, it is the meaning of your life to be able to reincarnate Zang Xuanjiao. For Mo Jinmian, it can prove that immortals also have demonic nature, and let them admit that Zang Xuanjiao was not wrong back then, which is the meaning of his life. ”

Duan Mengrou was slightly surprised, "For Second Brother Mo, the most important thing is not to make the fairy world chaotic, the most important thing is to prove that what the eldest brother thinks is right?" ”

Hu Xianxian said: "Yes, for Mo Jinmian, everything about Zang Xuanjiao is right. And I think Zang Xuanjiao's idea is really good. Who said that the rules between heaven and earth would be immutable? Whoever dominates the way of heaven is the one who makes the rules. ”

Duan Mengrou stared at Hu Xianxian's eyes fixedly, raised her eyebrows and shouted, "So, the meaning of your life is to become the one who dominates the Heavenly Dao?" ”

Hu Xianxian looked away and stood proudly: "Who wants to be a person who is bound by rules forever?" Who wouldn't want to make the rules on their own terms? ”

Duan Mengrou smiled heartily, "If you think so, that fog and gapless network can be regarded as a gift to the right person." You can break the illusion, and the illusion you create should be more powerful than Second Brother Mo. ”

Hu Xianxian didn't want to say more, if she continued to talk about it, she didn't sleep in the middle of the night last night and came up with the mysterious and crooked reasoning, she should say that it was gone, but she couldn't let Duan Mengrou see clearly that she was actually a person with "very shallow water".

The corners of her lips smiled, her eyes were cold, and she said mysteriously: "It's not difficult to break the illusion, sweep away the dust in your heart, and see the truth." ”

Duan Mengrou sighed lightly: "The seven disciples of Chao Xuantong back then, known as: Yunhua Qizhen; And Luo Xuanxin's three disciples are called: Yuzhen Sanying. Now, Yunhua Qizhen has two true demons, one is true to confess and be punished, one is really a puppet, and the other is really mortal, and his heart has changed greatly......"

Hu Xianxian continued with a cold face, "I can't be regarded as one of the Seven Truths of Yunhua, there is nothing 'One True Linfan', you should say that one truth has passed away." Yunhua Seven Truths, only Long Xiaofeng and Ma Mingfeng are left to retain the old style. ”

Duan Mengrou smiled strangely: "Long Xiaofeng will be demoted to Heaven sooner or later, you should be able to expect it." Luo Xuanxin's Yuzhen Sanying also withered, and although Cai Lianjun was an immortal, he couldn't leave the blessed land at all. You know the situation after Lin Zhijun's reincarnation, so I won't say much. As for Shen Zhujun, he has no memory of that year at all, just a bargaining chip for Shen Tingyang and King Shenjun to play with each other. ”

Hu Xianxian nodded, and his smile completely bloomed: "The talents in the immortal realm are indeed far less excellent than back then, so what?" No matter what they become, I believe they will always have a trace of spiritual wisdom remaining. ”

Duan Mengrou was a little surprised, "Oh? With a sound, it seemed that Hu Xianxian would not show any worry after listening to her words.

She pursed her lips unwillingly, and forced a smile: "Then let's see what happens to them in the future." ”

Hu Xianxian also smiled, smiling heartily and proudly: "Let's see what happens in the future." I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first. ”

Duan Mengrou waved her right hand, and her tone was indifferent: "I won't send it far." ”

Hu Xianxian first found the people of Qionglian Palace who came to participate in the festival by the lake, and greeted Qi Chuluan, Qiao Chushi, Fan Chuyao and others one by one. He also asked Ye Saiying to tell his family, saying that Concubine Duan Tianfei had something important to do for herself, and she would go home when she was done.

Hu Xianxian asked Ye Saiying to help him lie, but he didn't want to face the scene of parting with his family.

She swept out of the Lingzhou territory alone, and then sat quietly to communicate with Caique, asking it to return to her side from Qingqiu Country.

Caique flew back, Hu Xianxian hugged it, it leaned on Hu Xianxian sullenly, and did not move.

Hu Xianxian asked it: "You seem to be a little worried, what's wrong?" Something happened to Qingqiu Country? ”

Caique shook his head, and Hu Xianxian felt that it wanted to say that there was no accident in Qingqiu Kingdom. Hu Xianxian stroked its feathers and teased it: "That is, you don't want me at all?" Don't want to follow me anymore? ”

Caique broke away from her hand, flapping her wings vigorously and shaking her little head. It was protesting against Hu Xianxian's speculation, showing that he liked to follow Hu Xianxian very much.

Hu Xianxian lightly shook its wings and smiled warmly: "I'll tease you, don't worry." You accompany me to Lingshan first, and then I will go to Qingqiu Country. When I go, I can understand why you're upset. Looking at you, although what happened in Qingqiu Country is unpleasant, it hasn't reached the point of being very urgent, right? ”

Hu Xianxian and Caique flew to the northwest and hurried day and night. Hu Xianxian was tired, so he took a nap on Caique's back. When the magpie was tired, Hu Xianxian let it turn back into a jade carving to rest.

Hu Xianxian didn't want to go into the town to eat and rest, and her need for fireworks was not as essential as before. After she fought for the golden crown, she lost her skills for a few days, and after recuperating at home for more than ten days, her skills increased greatly. She herself felt that now she really had a bit of immortal cultivation.

Cai Que does not like the noise in the market, and when it is resting, it likes to peck at small insects in the mountains and forests. Sometimes, when it saw Hu Xianxian quietly watching it eat but didn't eat anything, it would go to find some wild fruits for Hu Xianxian to eat.

In this late spring and early summer, there are not many wild fruits to eat. The fruits brought back by the magpies are either wilted fruits that have been left on the branches last year and have been dried, or they are green and tender fruits.

Hu Xianxian still smiled and ate these fruits, and then made an exaggerated expression that the fruits were difficult to eat. Caique looks at the squinting and grinning Hu Xianxian, and often jumps and jumps happily.

Hu Xianxian crooked his mouth and said to it: "Naughty Caique, did you deliberately fix me?" Come, let you taste the taste of these rotten fruits, sour fruits. ”

She pinched a few fruits and was about to stuff them into the mouth of the magpie, but the magpie cried loudly and flew into the air in fright.

Hu Xianxian looked at it and laughed heartily.

When Hu Xianxian arrived at the border city bordering the French Dynasty and the Western Regions, it was only April 11. The first time I walked with the caravan, it took me two months to get here. She entered the city here to ask the immortals here, where the ice prison where Ling Ruofeng was imprisoned.

Unexpectedly, I met the Mai brothers and sisters outside an inn.

They said that after the avalanche in Lingshan, the trade route has not been restored, and many merchants have come to this city to sell their goods in order not to be unsalable.

Hu Xianxian looked at the bustling crowd, "No wonder this small city is much more lively than before." ”

Mataha said with a sad face: "It's lively, but the merchants don't have much money to make. There are many goods that are not suitable for sale here, but the trade route has been delayed. In order not to lose all their money, everyone handles the goods at a low price. ”

Hu Xianxian comforted him and said, "Wait patiently, the business road will soon be unimpeded." ”

As the three of them spoke, they suddenly heard a round of applause from the tavern next to them.

Manatha smiled and ran in, "Come and see, he's here to perform." ”

Mataha didn't follow in, and helplessly said to Hu Xianxian, who was a little confused: "It's a juggling artist, and my sister is fascinated by him." Wherever he went to perform, she followed. ”

Hu Xianxian reminded him: "Presumably he acted very well." Young Master Mai, there is a sudden influx of so many merchants in this city, and there is some chaos. You'd better go and accompany Nasha, she's simple-hearted, don't have anything wrong. ”

Metaha's gaze was a little melancholy, and he asked her softly, "What about you?" You don't need someone to accompany you? ”

Hu Xianxian smiled freely, "Young Master Mai doesn't have to worry about me. Young Master Mai, if you want to go back to Heaven or return to Lingzhou, please make plans in advance, staying here is not a long-term solution. Leave. ”

After nightfall, Hu Xianxian sat quietly on the slope of a small hill outside the city, and summoned the earth immortals here.

This nagging border city fairy, as soon as he saw Hu Xianxian, he said: "The immortal aunt's skills have increased greatly, congratulations to the fairy aunt." ”

After Hu Xianxian finished speaking, he asked directly: "May I ask where is the Cold Ice Prison?" ”

The Frontier City Immortal was stunned and asked, "Immortal Gu asked what that place was for?" ”

"You don't care what I'm going to do, you just say the location."

"The Ice Prison is in the Lingshan Realm, and the specific location is unknown to the little gods."

"So, will the new mountain god who has taken over the position of Ling Mountain Earth Immortal know?"

The Border City Immortal sighed, "Immortal Gu is a loose cultivator with no sect and no sect? Don't you know that these prisons where the sin immortals are held are directly under the Heavenly Court Criminal Law Department? ”

"It's under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court Criminal Law Division, and it won't be that the earth immortals in the place where they belong don't even know the location."

"Immortal Gu can know that these prisons are not water prisons, stone prisons and the like set up in the world, but desperate situations that only specific immortal families can know?"

Hu Xianxian was silent for a long time, and after thanking the border city immortals, he made a decision.

She looked at the lights of the city below the hill and felt that everything was nothing to do with her. The path I chose, and when I got to the edge of the cliff at the end, I could only give up my body and jump down, and I couldn't turn back!

She stroked Cai Que and whispered, "Fly to Lingshan, I don't believe I can't find the Ice Prison." ”
