Volume 1 Chapter 20 The Old Moon - He was unwilling
In the world, on the edge of a lively water town, there is a Yuelao Temple with strong incense. The moon grows and wanders in the appearance of the Kunlun Mountain Temple, listening to the wishes of each pilgrim. Occasionally, a young woman or two would notice the dashing boy and cast a courting glance at him. However, those eyes were ignored by Yue Lao.
In fact, Yue Lao ignored these women, not because he intended it, but since he came to the world, he was very panicked, and he always felt that something had happened to Xiangsi in the heavenly realm, or that he had met someone he shouldn't see. He once instructed Xiangsi to inform him of anything with a sound transmission paper crane. But after all this time, he never received a message from Xiangsi. Could it be that something really happened to her?
This kind of thought lingered in Yue Lao's heart for a long time, lingering, and even the inspection in Yue Lao's temple was not very attentive to him.
Yue Lao took a deep breath and shook his head, trying to concentrate himself, so that he could end his work in the human world as soon as possible and return to the heavenly realm.
At this moment, a Qianqian jade hand stretched out and gently patted Yue Lao's shoulder, and the jade bracelets on his wrists collided together due to trembling, clanging and clanging.
Yue Lao turned around, only to see a woman who was not extremely beautiful but very delicate, and had an extraordinary temperament standing there with a smile, looking at Yue Lao.
When Yue Lao saw her, the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Ximo." ”
"Daohuang." The woman's lips opened lightly and called him.
Daohuang is the pseudonym of Yue Lao in the world, and Ximo is the name of Si Ye Shangxian.
At this time, Si Yeshang Immortal gathered his immortal qi and changed into a dark blue gauze skirt, as if he had changed. But even if she changed, Yue Lao could still recognize her.
Yue Lao looked at Si Ye Shangxian for a moment, and the next moment, the smile on his face collapsed and was replaced by panic. Yue Lao grabbed Si Yeshangxian's arm: "Why are you here!" Is there something wrong with Xiangsi! ”
Si Ye Shangxian looked at the panic on Yue Lao's face, his heart was tight but it was not easy to show it, so he only patted Yue Lao's hand with his hand: "Xiangsi is very good, I just came to see you." ”
Yue Lao breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "It's okay if there's nothing to do, it's okay to have nothing to do." ”
Si Ye looked at Yue Lao, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes, she hurriedly lowered her eyebrows, and covered the expression in her eyes.
Yue Lao, who had regained his composure, saw that he was grabbing Si Ye, realized his faux pas, hurriedly let go of his hand, and smiled apologetically at Si Ye: "I was rude just now." ”
"Nothing." Si Ye raised his eyes, his eyes were calm, "I'm finally in the next realm, won't you have a drink with me?" ”
"Ahh Yue Lao smiled, "There is a restaurant near here, how about going there to sit and sit?" ”
Si Ye looked at Yue Lao: "Okay." ”
As long as you say it, it's okay anywhere.
She meditated in her heart.
On the way to the restaurant, some women looked at Yue Lao.
Si Ye looked at those women, and he was heartbroken, and laughed at Yue Lao: "I didn't expect you to be quite popular in the world." ”
Yue Lao glanced at the women, who smiled coquettishly, covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and ran away.
"Ximo doesn't want to laugh at me." Yue Lao smiled and bowed his head, "It's not that you don't know, I ......"
"I know." Si Yeshangxian's brows furrowed and expanded, "You only have velvet in your heart." I know. ”
Yue Lao looked at Si Ye Shangxian and smiled, staggering his eyes.
Si Ye Shangxian walked beside Yue Lao, looked at his side face, the corners of his upturned mouth fell little by little, and he was silent.
In the restaurant in the town, many customers have already sat down, and the shopkeeper shuttles between the tables and people.
Yue Lao and Si Ye Shangxian entered the door one after the other, and the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Two guest officers, please inside."
The shopkeeper led the two to a table inside. Yue Laoli stood aside thoughtfully, waiting for the night fairy to sit first.
Si Ye Shangxian looked at him and sat down with a smile. But in his heart, he was wondering, "If it was Xiangsi, would he still be so polite."
"What do you two want to eat?" The shopkeeper enthusiastically recommended his own dishes to Yue Lao, "My pearl balls are a famous dish in this area." ”
"Then I want a pearl ball, two of your store's specialties, and a pot of wine." Elder Yue said to him.
"Okay!" The shopkeeper turned around with a smile and left to go to the back kitchen.
"How are the old temples inspecting these days?" Si Ye Shangxian asked the old moon.
"It's fine." Yue Lao replied, "Has Xiangsi been naughty recently?" ”
The smile on Si Yeshangxian's face froze: "No." She only walked around the heavenly realm with Fu Qiao on the day you just left the mansion, and then she never left the mansion. Ah Jin took good care of her, don't worry. ”
Si Ye did not inform the old man of the fact that Xiangsi burned the Kitchen God's Mansion. She didn't want him to worry about it.
Yue Lao's brows furrowed: "She has been out of the house?" ”
Si Ye Shangxian nodded.
"Did she ...... then," Elder Yue asked eagerly.
Si Ye interrupted Yue Lao's words: "No." His Royal Highness Ying Long has never been out of the Cloud Palace these days, let alone come to the Heavenly Realm. ”
Yue Lao smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's me who is too worried." Ying Long: He hasn't been to the Heavenly Realm for a long time. How could Xiangsi meet him? ”
Si Ye looked at Yue Lao and wanted to reach out to hold Yue Lao's hand, but because of the identity between the two, Si Ye had to suppress the impulse in his heart: "Why are you so worried? ”
Yue Lao lowered his eyes and didn't look at Si Ye.
Si Ye sighed secretly: "I know that you have guarded her for three thousand years, and it is not easy for her to be a human again, and I don't want her to be hurt in the slightest." She paused, then continued, "But have you ever thought that Xiangsi has no heart now. She doesn't even recognize you, how can she recognize His Royal Highness Ying Long? ”
The corners of Yue Lao's mouth brought a bitter smile: "You're right. Xiangsi had no intention, she couldn't recognize Ying Long. Yue Lao took a deep breath, "What's more, even if she recognizes it, she won't have half any emotions for him." ”
Si Ye smiled and wiped away the pain in his eyes: "So, don't keep the incense silk off." In this life, she is no longer a velvet tassel. She should live freely and happily. ”
Yue Lao pondered for a while, and nodded slowly: "I don't lock her up anymore." She deserves to have a life of her own. ”
Si Ye smiled with relief: "That's right." In this way, it is good for you and for her. ”
"Your dish is here!" The shopkeeper put the dishes on the table one by one with a tray, "The dishes are ready, you two use them slowly." ”
"Thank you." Si Ye said to the shopkeeper.
Seeing that this woman with an extraordinary temperament thanked him, the shopkeeper was happy, smiled, and waved his hand again and again: "No thanks, no thanks." You use it slowly. ”
After speaking, the shopkeeper retreated, and when he left, he looked back at Si Ye Shangxian.
Si Ye took the wine jug and poured Yue Lao full of wine, and poured himself another glass: "Come, drink." ”
Yue Lao picked up the wine glass: "Drink!" With that, Yue Lao raised his head and drank all the contents of the cup.
Si Ye looked distressed, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to follow the dry wine, and the quiet old man finished the meal.
Although the wine in the world is sweet, it cannot drunk the gods.
Si Ye Shangxian accompanied Yue Lao to drink a pot of wine, and both of them were still very sober.
Yue Lao stretched out his hand to call the shopkeeper, and wanted to ask for another pot, but was stopped by Si Ye.
Yue Lao looked at her, and Si Ye smiled: "If you want to drink, when you return to the heavenly realm in the future, I will invite you to drink." I'm still on duty today, I can't stay longer, it's time to go. ”
Yue Lao withdrew his hand and nodded to Si Ye: "It's okay." Originally, I accompanied you, but it became that you accompanied me to borrow wine to drown my sorrows. I'm sorry. ”
Si Ye smiled and shook his head at Yue Lao.
"When I get back, I will definitely go to you with good wine to make amends. We don't get drunk and don't go home. Yue Lao said.
Si Ye smiled: "Okay, I'll wait." ”
Si Ye Shangxian got up from his seat and subdued Yue Lao: "For this meal, Ximo thanks Daohuang for his hospitality."
Yue Lao laughed twice, then stood up, and bowed back: "It's Daohuang, thank you Ximo for your face." ”
Si Ye Shangxian shook his head with a smile: "Let's go." She took a step out and turned back.
Yue Lao looked at her.
"Take care of yourself. I'm waiting for you in the heavenly realm...... Wait until you invite me to a drink. After Si Ye Shangxian finished speaking, he left the restaurant.
Saying goodbye to Si Ye Shangxian, Yue Lao was much more relaxed.
Although Si Ye's words made people feel distressed and panicked, they were also very right.
Xiangsi couldn't recognize Ying Long, and it was impossible for her to have the slightest emotion for him, so why did she tie her up in Yuelao's Mansion every day and not allow her to go out?
When I saved her, didn't I just hope that she could be happy?
Now that the Spice Root was stable, he didn't have to worry about her disappearing.
So, let her go out and play.
After figuring out this, Yue Lao's heart was also steady, and the work of inspecting the Yue Lao Temple was finally able to do his best.
On this day, he came to a city called Youyang to inspect the Yuelao Temple here.
In order to be able to hear the wishes of every good man and woman, Yue Lao simply hid in the statue of Yue Lao.
From the morning, many people came to the main hall to burn incense and make wishes. Everyone's wish is actually very simple, nothing more than asking the old man to help give marriage, or to pull the red line for himself.
These wishes were well realized, and Yue Lao also wrote them down one by one, so that he could arrange them for them after returning to the Heavenly Realm.
But just when Yue Lao was working seriously, a young woman in a white dress attracted Yue Lao's attention.
The woman knelt in front of the statue of the old moon, her face reverent, but she could not hide her sorrow.
"Yue Lao, I ......" the woman's voice brought out a little choked, "My name is Lin Chuyun, a local...... I ......" The woman calmed down her emotions, took a deep breath, and continued, "I have a childhood sweetheart who grew up together, named Li Wenhao. The two of us originally fell in love with each other, and his family also hired my family. The woman's voice paused.
Yue Lao's brows gradually furrowed because of her words. Listening to her, she had her own marriage, and she could not have begged him. But since she is here, and she is so pear blossom with rain, it proves that there is still a secret inside.
"My family was the richest man here." The woman lowered her eyebrows and continued, "A month ago, my father was framed and lost all his family property. Now, as a down-and-out person, how can I be worthy of Brother Wen Hao? His father is the governor here...... He did not allow his only son to marry a broken family, which ruined his life. The day before yesterday...... The day before yesterday, his family sent someone to my house to tear up my marriage contract with Brother Wen Hao...... "The woman choked up and couldn't make a sound for a long time, just knelt there and sobbed.
Yue Lao looked at her, and his heart was clenched a little.
The woman below reminded him of himself and Velvet. I love her, but so what? Is it really right to tie her to your side?
But he doesn't want to let go, even if it's wrong! He also wants her to be just Xiangsi, his own Xiangsi!
"I'm unwilling!" The woman raised her head and looked at the statue of Yue Lao, her eyes were firm, "Yue Lao! I'm unwilling! I obviously love Brother Wen Hao, why do I ...... Why can't we be together! ”
Yue Lao was hidden in the image, his fists clenched tightly.
He is not reconciled!
