The carriage headed south, and the weather became warmer and warmer.

Thinking that it was time to make a stove in Bianjing, Liangguang only needed to wear a single coat.

This way was extremely slow, or because of Zhu Hongyu's physical reasons, she walked for a month to reach the boundary at the junction of Guangzhou, and then walked towards the Qinzhou border.

Hepu is in Qinzhou Bay, and Runye's carriage is dragging a board cart with fine soft on it.

When they arrived in Hepu, it was already the end of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and they spent the Mid-Autumn Festival on the way, and they also burned paper money for the Lu family on the day of Halloween.

Along the way, they were also able to see the notice that Runye had left Bianjing and would no longer serve as the head of the sect.

Runye was carrying a ring on his body, and he felt a little more at ease, because he wanted to be a normal person more often.

Only on the day of Halloween, they went to Qingyuan County, Guangzhou Prefecture, and that day Runye took out their own precepts in order to make a superduity for the Lu family.

Everyone determined the authenticity of the precepts several times, and even got the official mansion.

Lu Mingci knew about Runye's trip to Hepu, so he arranged for Jinyiwei's subordinate agencies to take care of it along the way.

Therefore, the identity of Runye was determined, and the people in the Taoist temple respected Runye very much.

Immediately, another ritual was arranged to overtake the Lu family.

Zhu Hongyu was very weak and could no longer kneel on the scriptures, so she moved a stool for Zhu Hongyu to watch beside her.

Runye likes to be the master of the hall, but he was so frightened on the altar that Gao Gong's voice trembled.

The so-called high merit is the one with the highest Dao merit, that is, the master of the entire Dharma.

On that day, they overtook the Lu family, rested for two days and went on the road again, and walked for two weeks before arriving at the place of Hepu.

Guangxi is the western frontier, and the exiled criminals have always come to this place, although it is said to be a place where the old and the young are poor, fortunately there are still a few inns that are good, at least they can live comfortably.

Runye with such a vermilion jade is naturally looking for the best place to stay.

The road was bumpy, and Runye pondered letting Zhu Hongyu rest for a few days before going to see the sea, and Zhu Hongyu agreed.

On the third day of rest, Runye knocked on Zhu Hongyu's door wearing a Taoist robe, and after entering the door, Zhu Hongyu looked at him very surprised.

"How did you put on the robes?"

Zhu Hongyu had a pale face, and sat down sickly with a piece of clothing.

Runye helped Zhu Hongyu to sit down, and then sat down beside her, showing a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Today is the first day of September."

"So fast?" Zhu Hongyu looked at Runye in surprise, thinking that her body was not as good as day by day, but this day passed quite quickly.

Runye looked at Zhu Hongyu with a smile and said, "The first day of the ninth month is a particularly important day in our Xuanmen, because on this day, the Taoist temple will hold a puja, and the nine days of the puja are done in a row, which is the most lively meaning of the year in a temple. You also know that Beidou is a god who prolongs life and saves life, and these few days are Dou's birthday. ”

Zhu Hongyu thought for a while, and recalled that she had read a book about Doumu. I remember that in the books, Doumu is the mother of the Big Dipper Seven Yuanjun and is called Doumu, no matter what era it is, rich people hope that they can live a little longer.

"Yes, I know that these are the best things to prolong your life."

Life extension?

Zhu Hongyu felt that the word appeared in front of her now with a hint of sarcasm.

"Hongyu, let's go see if the Nine Emperors will be okay?"

Zhu Hongyu looked at Runye and pouted, "Let's come over now, didn't we say that we would go to see the sea, eat seafood, and then see Hepu Pearl?" Why do you want to go to the Taoist temple again? ”

Runye smiled heartily and said, "The place we go to today is guaranteed to be as you wish and as I think." ”

Zhu Hongyu didn't know what to say, her body was so weak that she shouldn't have spoken much.

Runye said this, there may be a reason for him, Runye always listened to her along the way, and took care of her very thoroughly, and there was nothing unpleasant, since Runye must have his reasons for saying this.

"Okay, then I'll go check it out."

Zhu Hongyu's tone didn't seem very happy, Runye didn't say anything, and went downstairs with Zhu Hongyu in her arms.

In fact, it's not that Zhu Hongyu is hypocritical, asking Runye to hug her when she goes up and down the stairs, just because she is weak now, and her whole body seems to be emptied, and she has no energy at all.

On weekdays, I eat less, so I move less, and I don't have any strength in my body, and I don't exercise because I don't have any strength, so it becomes a vicious circle.

Zhu Hongyu didn't know how much blood she coughed up along the way, but she was much better before coming to Hepu.

The carriage carried Vermilion and Runye towards the sea.

Zhu Hongyu leaned on Runye's body, unable to sit up, and felt that she was paralyzed.

"Runye, I'm actually lucky to be able to see the sea before I die."

Runye patted Zhu Hongyu's shoulder, and then hugged her tightly into his arms.

To be honest, Runye had already sensed that something was wrong with Zhu Hongyu today, compared to a few days ago, she was a little more energetic and could still go out.

"The first day of September is the day of Beidou's derivation, don't talk nonsense."

Zhu Hongyu chapped her lips and nodded, not saying anything more to Runye.

Soon the carriage arrived, and Runye got out of the car with Zhu Hongyu in his arms.

Zhu Hongyu looked lazily ahead.

It's the sea!

There is a temple next to the sea!

This temple is so close to the sea, aren't you afraid that a typhoon will blow this small temple away?

As soon as Runye picked up Zhu Hongyu, Zhu Hongyu knocked his hand off.

"I can walk on my own, I feel well today, let me walk and see by myself."

Runye didn't say anything, and let Zhu Hongyu take a look by herself, but she was already panicked.

Zhu Hongyu didn't notice that Runye's expression was a little strange, so she walked towards the temple.

The temple is not big, and the small door is the characteristic of southern Fujian, with white walls and black tiles, and black stains after mold on the wall.

Even if this kind of place is newly renovated, it will become an old house in a few years.

Zhu Hongyu walked towards the temple with the sick body in her arms, and the first altar headed by her was the Lingguan Ye.

I don't know where she got the strength, so she lit three sticks of incense and kowtowed to Lingguanye.

Looking at Lingguan Ye, she remembered Runye's Sanguan Temple, and the current Sanguan Temple didn't know who was in charge, maybe Runye had already been handed over to someone else.

Of course, Zhu Hongyu didn't have the heart to care so much, and after getting up from the kneeling stool, she walked towards the hall behind.

I saw that the hall had three words written on it: "Dragon King Palace".

Dragon King Palace?

Zhu Hongyu thought for a while, and then realized that it was a wise choice to worship the dragon king in this place, and hoped that this dragon king was really effective, otherwise this small temple would be flooded.

Although Zhu Hongyu's thoughts were always so unbearable, she still stopped outside to listen, and the Taoist priests inside were doing things.

Runye stepped forward with his robe and placed it in front of him after going upstairs.

"Hongyu, this is the Nine Emperor Dynasty."

Zhu Hongyu watched Gao Gong doing things in the altar, and seemed to see Runye in front of her.

She looked at it for a while, but she didn't have the strength to kneel.

Runye left with Vermilion Hongyu, and before leaving, Runye kowtowed to Lingguanye.

To be honest, Zhu Hongyu felt that it was particularly inappropriate for Runye to go out and wear a robe today, one had to pull and pull with her, and the other they had to look at the sea, and it was not good to be seen by others, so they must have to point fingers.

But Runye didn't care about these problems at all, he picked up Zhu Hongyu horizontally, hugged her into his arms, and walked towards the sea.

Zhu Hongyu could already smell the fishy smell of the sea breeze, and soon Runye stopped and put down Zhu Hongyu.

In front of her eyes, there was a sea.

The waves were floating but not violent, and the sand under his feet was hot from the sun.

Zhu Hongyu didn't think much about it, took off her shoes directly, and walked towards the beach.

Runye didn't take off his shoes, and chased Zhu Hongyu over.

Soon, the sea annihilated Vermilion's calves, and she looked into the distance, and at this time she wanted to run and cheer on the beach, but she had no strength in her body.

In the distance, sailing ships passed by, and Vermilion walked towards it, and saw many sailors standing on top of them, carrying baskets of scallops from the boat.

Maybe these scallops are pearl-producing mussels.

Zhu Hongyu walked towards that side with her skirt in her hand, and Runye hurriedly followed.

"What is this?"

Zhu Hongyu asked in a few vernacular words that she had not learned.

"A mussel that produces pearls has pearls in it!"

The people who carried the mussels down heard that Zhu Hongyu was a foreigner, and tried their best to speak in official language, but they could still hear a strong vernacular flavor between their words.

Zhu Hongyu didn't care what these words meant.

"To sell or not to sell?"

Hearing this, the boss pointed to the embankment on the shore where a person was selling mussels, but he was actually betting on mussels, and the price of each mussel varied.

Zhu Hongyu walked over easily as before, and Runye followed behind Zhu Hongyu more and more carefully.

Walking in front of a pile of oversized sea mussels, Zhu Hongyu pondered that she had chosen the sea mussel and took the pearl.

"Girl, which one do you want?"

The man said in skillful vernacular.

"I don't know."

Zhu Hongyu is not looking at this, and it is not that either.

"Runye, you choose."

Runye looked at Zhu Hongyu, sighed and shook his head.

"Is the pearl taken alive or ......" Zhu Hongyu asked another stupid question.

The mussel seller laughed.

"Of course it's killed, and I don't have the ability to take it back."

Zhu Hongyu stuck out her tongue.

"I've bought them all."

Runye looked at Zhu Hongyu in surprise, and the stall owner also looked at Zhu Hongyu as if he was stupid.

"Thank you, thank you!"

"Don't kill them."

Zhu Hongyu said such a sentence again, and the stall owner had to do it.

Runye also understood what Zhu Hongyu meant, and after paying the money, he wrapped all the mussels and threw them into the sea.

Zhu Hongyu watched the mussels return to the embrace of the sea, as if she was also relieved, and fell on the beach at once.

Runye knew that the time had come.

Maybe these mussels and vermilion jade only have a secret connection, and vermilion jade came all the way here for these sea mussels.

Runye, who was kneeling on the beach and leaning on Zhu Hongyu's side, looked at the sea, not with a heavy face like just now, but with a very happy expression.

Runye looked at Zhu Hongyu with joy, and her heart was about to break. He had thought about countless ways for Vermilion to leave, but he didn't expect her to look at the sea with a smile, and then listen to her voice gradually weaken.

"Runye, is there really an afterlife in this world?"

Runye hugged Zhu Hongyu and hugged him into his arms.

"There will be, there will be!"

Zhu Hongyu's voice and gasping for breath became short, and she felt that she had never felt so uncomfortable.

"And what will become of me?"

Runye thought for a while and said, "I don't know what it is, but your character may be immortal, or humane." It's not going to be bad in the end. ”

Zhu Hongyu smiled and nodded, her eyes were full of Runye's appearance of wearing a mixed yuan scarf and a Taoist robe.

Then he closed his eyes satisfied.

"If there is an afterlife...... If there is an afterlife......"
