"Gone. The old moon is still waiting for you. Ah Jin tugged at my sleeve.

I nodded and followed her out of the room.

The Yuelao Mansion is bigger than I thought, at least much larger than the Yuelao Temple I used to stay in.

The winding path is lined with trees that are covered with red silk.

Looking at the red silk, I frowned, ran to the trees, and reached out to free them from the red silk.

"Xiangsi, what are you doing!" Ah Jin hurriedly came to my side and grabbed my hand that was untying the silk.

I looked at her aggrievedly: "Ah Jin, I have also been tied by these red silks." It's uncomfortable. ”

Ah Jin smiled softly and held my hand: "These silks are used by men and women in the lower realm to seek marriage. There will be someone to collect it every day. You don't have to worry. ”

After saying that, Ah Jin pulled me and was about to continue walking.

I reluctantly looked back at the trees.

Although Ah Jin said that someone would come to collect the silk, I still wanted to help them untie it now. Just like the temple did for me at the beginning.

"Ah Jin, will anyone really come to collect it?" I confirmed with her.

Ah Jin smiled: "Don't worry." Every day, the old man will send someone to collect it. ”

Ahh

It was at this time that Miao Zhu came to help me untie the silk.

"Yo, which palace is this new little fairy?" A demonic voice came from behind him.

Ah Jin took my hand and froze for a moment, did not look back, and continued to walk forward.

"Ah Jin, is he calling us?" I asked her if I wanted to go back and see what the demon had become.

"Don't look back." Ah Jin stopped me.

My head froze there, slowly curling my neck, and turning back to the original direction.

"What's wrong...... Is it? I looked ahead and asked Ah Jin in a low voice.

Ah Jin looked natural: "The person in the back is Tu Shanjue, the fourth son of Qingqiu. When I have nothing to do, I always like to run to us, and I am idle. Xiangsi, don't pay attention to him when you're fine, hear ......"

"Ah Jin!" The man screamed again, and the voice was so close to us that it seemed to be right behind us.

Ah Jin gritted his teeth fiercely, turned around, saluted the man, and saluted: "God." ”

I learned Ah Jin's movements, and also bowed to Na Tu Shanjue.

Although I was a newcomer, I also know that it is always possible to be polite.

"Alright, alright. Don't use it with me. Tu Shanjue waved his hand absently, as if he was really a little tired of these etiquette.

I looked up at him, wanting to see if the Qingqiu fox in the little goblin's mouth really looked so fascinating, but the moment I looked up, Tu Shanjue was stunned.

He frowned at me, paused for a long time, and lightly opened his lips: "Velvet ......", as if with doubts.

"It's Xiangsi!" Ah Jin hurriedly introduced my identity to Tu Shanjue, "Yue Lao's newly accepted apprentice." ”

When Tu Shanjue heard this, he raised his eyebrows, looking at me as if he was thinking about something.

"When did Yue Lao start accepting apprentices?" He said leisurely, but his eyes were fixed on me, all playful.

"What is the matter with God coming to us?" Ah Jin pulled me behind me, separating Tu Shanjue's eyes from me.

"Little Ajin, don't be so confused." Tu Shanjue looked at Ah Jin, and his face returned to his original cynicism.

I poked my head out from behind Ah Jin to look at him.

He is really like what those little demons say, like a little fox who usually comes to the old temple to steal food, with a cunning face, but surprisingly beautiful. The two cinnabar moles between the eyebrows and eyes are dotted there, and they are not charming.

I don't know how many tails this Qingqiu's fourth son has.

"God, what the hell are you here for?" Ah Jin seems to have gotten used to Tu Shanjue's style of acting, and although he has a respectful smile on his face, his tone is very tough.

Tu Shanjue should have felt bored, put away his charm, folded his arms, and looked at Ah Jin lazily: "What about you old men?" I'm looking for him. ”

"Yue Lao received a summons from the Emperor of Heaven this morning and went out. If you have something to do, you can go to the Lingxiao Hall and wait. Ah Jin looked at Tu Shanjue calmly.

"How can the Emperor of Heaven like to summon people to talk about things when he has nothing to do! I've been in office for almost 3,000 years, and I haven't seen him talk about anything. Tu Shanjue chattered dissatisfiedly, waved his hand at us, and smiled, "I'll come to play with you in a few days, and I'll leave first today." ”

After speaking, Tu Shanjue waved his huge sleeves, turned around and disappeared in front of us.

"Except for urgent matters, the Heavenly Realm does not allow the use of spells to fly around. You can't be like him, you know? Ah Jin glanced at the direction in which Tu Shanjue had disappeared and looked at me.

I nodded, thinking to myself that I, a flower spirit that had just been detached from my body, would have to fly if I wanted to.

Ah Jin led me to continue walking.

"Yue Lao is not in the mansion, where are we going?" I asked her.

"I just made a fool of him. Yue Lao didn't go anywhere today. Ah Jin said lightly.

My eyes widened and I looked back, for fear that Tu Shanjue would come back to settle accounts with us.

"It's fine." Ah Jin smiled, "He's used to it." ”

I pursed my lips, thinking that this Tu Shanjue should also be unintelligent.

"That's right." I grabbed Ah Jin's sleeve, "Just now Tu Shanjue called me velvet...... Yesterday, the old man seemed to have called me that, that velvet ...... Who the hell is it? ”

"Nobody." Ah Jin stopped and looked at me, "Xiangsi, you remember. It doesn't matter what other people say to you or call you. Don't listen to it. You are Yue Lao's apprentice, you are just yourself, your name is Xiangsi. ”

I looked into her eyes and nodded in fascination.

I don't know what's wrong with her, but I always feel that she is good to me.

Ah Jin smiled, took my hand, and led me forward.

We came to the end of the Yuelao Mansion, there is a quiet bamboo forest, which is not found in the Yuelao Temple at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

In the depths of the bamboo forest, there was a small wooden house, and Yue Lao sat at the small table inside, holding a red silk thread in his hand, as if he was weaving something.

"Old Moon." Ah Jin saluted him.

Yue Lao looked up, put down the silk thread in his hand, and looked at us.

Ah Jin curtsied and withdrew.

"Come here." Yue Lao beckoned to me.

I ran over with a smile, and for some reason, I looked at him, and there was always a sense of intimacy.

"Are you helping a lover in the Nether pull the red thread?" I picked up the silk thread on the table and asked him, "I have heard those people who make incense say that as long as Yue Lao ties the feet of the two with the red thread, the two can love each other for a lifetime and never abandon each other." Is this true? ”

Yue Lao looked at it and nodded: "But there are also those that don't work." ”

"Huh? Isn't it true that everyone has a lover and ends up married? "I looked at the red thread and regretted it.

Yue Lao smiled and gently touched my hair: "Where did you learn this?" ”

I laughed, forgetting the sadness just now, and looked at him proudly: "In the past, at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, so many people came and went, so many demons. I couldn't walk or speak, but I learned a lot. ”

"We're so smart." Yue Lao looked at me, and the eyes I had seen in the mortal world, like a father looking at his daughter, and like a man looking at his beloved.

But Yue Lao and I, it should be the former.

I bent my eyes and smiled happily, and paused.

"What's wrong?" Yue Lao asked me.

"Master, you call me lovesick. But I'm not a red bean, so why do you call it that? I looked at him with a serious face.

Yue Lao looked at me and laughed: "It's not that lovesickness." ”

"Huh? Isn't it? Which else could it be? ”

"The rainy and sunny night is exquisite, and the ten thousand branches of incense are red silk." Yue Lao stood up and pinned the loose hairpin back for me.

I looked back, stared blankly at him, and shook my head.

I...... Didn't understand.

"The fragrance of living color, the slightest wisp of silk. Got it? Yue Lao patiently explained.

I suddenly, nodded, and was happy: "The fragrance of rice, the silk of spider silk!" Is that right? ”

The corners of Yue Lao's eyes twitched, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became stiff: "Yes." ”

My words were affirmed, and the smile in my eyes deepened.

Yue Lao looked at me stupidly, as if he remembered something.

"Master?" I call him.

The mist in Yue Lao's eyes receded: "Let's go, I'll take you to visit this heavenly realm." ”

"Okay." I jumped for joy.

Yue Lao stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to take me, but he took it back: "Let's go." ”

I looked at his hand, tilted my head, smiled and jumped to his side, and took his right hand: "Let's go." ”

Yue Lao's hand stiffened, shook my hand vigorously, and then withdrew from my hand.

I don't understand looking at him.

"You and I are master and apprentice, it's better not to be so intimate." Yue Lao said.

"Oh." I nodded my head in understanding.

Intimacy...... What is the meaning?

Yue Lao walked in front of me and led me out of Yue Lao's Mansion.

Walking in this heavenly realm, I realized that there is such a beautiful place in this world. The colorful auspicious clouds are within reach, the palace halls are magnificent, and there are small rivers passing by the road next to them, and various plants are planted by the river.

The only thing that made me not very satisfied was that after walking for a long time, I didn't see a single acacia tree, which made me feel less intimate.

"Yue Lao!" As we walked outside the Sky Palace, a familiar voice stopped us from behind.

Yue Lao stopped and sighed.

I looked at him curiously, and looked back at the source of the sound.

It seems that I guessed correctly, it is Tu Shanjue.

He was smiling like a flower and running towards us.

"Yo, isn't this little Xiangsi!" Tu Shanjue ran and waved at me.

I smiled and beckoned to him.

Although this Tu Shanjue is not very smart, I can feel that he is not a bad person.

"You know him?" Yue Lao turned around and stood beside me and asked.

"I saw you in the Yuelao Mansion this morning." I whispered, "He went to look for you, but Ah Jinyu came here." ”

Yue Lao raised his eyebrows and didn't ask me again.

"Little Xiangsi, that's a coincidence." Tu Shanjue came up to us, smiled brightly, reacted, seemed to feel that something was wrong, and looked at Yue Lao, "Aren't you summoned to the main hall by the Emperor of Heaven?" How to be with Xiangsi? ”

"She's coming to pick me up." Yue Lao's ability to lie is stronger than Ah Jin's, so calmly that you can't find a flaw.

"So good!" Tu Shanjue believed, "I have to find such a good apprentice for myself when I go back." ”

"You're looking for me?" Yue Lao interrupted Tu Shanjue's chatter.

"Oh, it's not a big deal." Tu Shanjue smiled and waved his hand, "It's my third sister and her daughter, my little niece, who recently fell in love with the boy of Wude Xingjun's family, let me come to you to help be a matchmaker." ”

"Doesn't the son of the Wude Xingjun family have a sweetheart?" Yue Lao frowned.
