Chapter 70: Civil Strife (1)
"How is this meal like this? Liwen brought the white porridge and mussels, the meals of the past two days were so widowed, in the eyes of the maid, this was deliberately embarrassing, but Jiu'er felt that such a meal was the best delicacy in the world.
"It doesn't matter, it's better like this. ”
Although Jiu'er said this, Ke Liwen was still angry, and said: "This Princess Mantong took advantage of the Demon King's absence, and was so domineering in the Demon Realm, after embarrassing the Demon King, after the Demon King came back, he would definitely kill her!"
Ke Qing hurriedly whispered: "Don't say it so loudly, there will definitely be Princess Mantong's eyeliner here, if you say this, it will reach the ears of Princess Mantong when the time comes, and our life will be even more difficult." ”
"It's okay, I guess the demon king is coming back soon, what can I do!"
Jiu'er drank a bowl of porridge and said, "Keqing is right, it's better to pay attention to what you say, by the way, Liwen, you go and boil me some ginger syrup, I've been feeling very cold lately, maybe the cold of the demon world has hurt me." ”
"Yes. Although Liwen was anxious, she was sincerely good to Jiu'er, so when she heard that she was hurt by the cold, she hurriedly ran to the kitchen and boiled water herself.
Jiu'er saw that there was no one around, and said to Keqing: "This morning, you have no master, although you and I have only known each other for four or five days, but I still know your character, I will take Liwen's outspoken girl away, what do you have in your heart, just say." ”
Keqing knelt directly in front of Jiu'er, which made Jiu'er a little surprised.
"What are you doing here? Hurry up. ”
Although Jiu'er intended to help Keqing up, Keqing shook his head, continued to kneel on the ground, and whispered to Jiu'er: "Demon queen, now rumors are spreading, saying that the demon king is outside to meet accidents, and the demon ministers with extraordinary strength are eyeing the position of the demon king, the demon queen, I don't know what kind of rules your demon world is, but in the demon world, if something happens to the demon king, then the demon queen can preside over the overall situation of the demon world, now you shouldn't stay in this courtyard, you should go to the demon king's hall and take over the big and small matters of the demon world, so that you can keep the throne of the demon king." ”
Jiu'er smiled sarcastically and said, "I have no intention. ”
"You have to have a heart, because those people will kill you. ”
"I don't have a real marriage with your demon king, this demon queen is not true, and it's just that you yourself want to call it that. Jiu'er's eyes were blank, and he gently picked up the cup and drank the water inside.
What will happen to this demon world, Jiu'er doesn't want to know at all, she just wants to know when she will be able to leave this place and meet Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan slept for four days.
It wasn't that he was drowsy, but that he had a dream that prevented him from waking up at all.
In the dream, there was a man who looked about his age, dressed in golden clothes, looking graceful and luxurious, holding the finest wine, drinking alone.
"Excuse me, who are you..."Jiang Yuan looked at him with golden fir silver wisps, but he was elegant and dusty, and he didn't match this outfit.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan was very polite, the man took the initiative to pour him wine and said, "Sit down, let's chat." ”
Although Jiang Yuan sat down, he was uneasy in his heart, he looked around, it was actually a fairyland.
"Is this fairyland my dream?"
"yes, I'm in your dreams, just wanting to have a drink and talk to you. ”
Jiang Yuan saw the person in front of him, although he smiled, but there was a trace of sadness.
"Who are you, what's your name?"
"My name is Yuxian, I am a person from this heavenly realm, and I accidentally broke into your dream, please bear with me. ”
Yuxian was humble and polite, not like a high-ranking official's son, Jiang Yuan looked him up and down, and said, "Look at your dress, you don't look like a little fairy." ”
Yuxian smiled and said, "The appearance is gorgeous, but it is just to cover up the inner inauthenticity. ”
"Do you have something on your mind?"
"Yes, but don't worry, just stand up and pass, some people's tribulations are first suffered, and then enjoyed, but I am a different kind of person, first for enjoyment, and then for tribulation. ”
"Perhaps, I'm going through a lot of hardships now. Jiang Yuan picked up the cup, touched it with Yuxian's hand, and then the two of them drank it.
Yuxian saw Jiang Yuan drink it in one gulp, applauded happily, and kept filling Jiang Yuan with one cup after another.
Although the two met for the first time in a dream, they were very close to each other, chatting and drinking, and they were so happy.
Until both of them were slightly drunk, Yuxian summoned the Qingmin Sword and played a few tricks in the dream.
The sword was in Yuxian's hand, like a dragon shuttling through the clouds, walking on all fours, the long sword was like a mang, and the qi ran through Changhong, which made Jiang Yuan stunned, and couldn't help but ask in his heart, who is this humble son, dancing with a sword like this?
After a set, Yuxian laughed out loud with the Qingmin sword.
"This swordsmanship, let Bai Yi teach you. After speaking, Yuxian picked up the wine jug and poured the wine inside directly into his mouth.
After the wine was drunk, Jiang Yuan came out of the dream, and when he came out, four days had passed.
"Who is Yuxian?" Jiang Yuan touched his aching head, reluctantly got off the ground, and walked out of the hall.
Everyone was still practicing swords in the hall, and the moment they saw Jiang Yuan, they were still stunned.
"You're awake. Feng Bai was the first to put down his sword, raised four fingers, and said, "You slept for four whole days." ”
"Four days?" Jiang Yuan was shocked, he just drank a little wine in his dream, and watched others dance a set of swordsmanship, why did four days pass?
Seeing that Jiang Yuan's body was weak and weak, the head of the Yuanxu Dao was not surprised, and said: "This kid doesn't know which immortal's dream he broke into by mistake, and he went to drink, you go to wake up, and then go to the real person in charge, he said, you wake up and go over." ”
"Yes. Jiang Yuan held his heavy head and washed his face, changed his clothes, and went to the Bagua Palace.
Jiang Yuan told Bai Yi everything he saw in the dream, but Bai Yi was not surprised.
"The real person in charge, which immortal is that Yuxian?"
Bai Yi put down the pen in his hand, looked at him and said, "The day when we finally meet again, you come with me first." Bai Yi got up and walked out of the hall, while Jiang Yuan hurriedly asked, "Are you going to the Tower of Babel again?"
Bai Yi stopped, looked at him and said indifferently, "Didn't you always want to go to Tianshi? I'll take you there today." ”
"Really?" Jiang Yuan couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and ran over, but Bai Yi frowned.
Bai Yi didn't know why Yuxian would suddenly pull Jiang Yuan into a dream to drink, and personally taught Qingmin sword swordsmanship, he thought, maybe something had happened in the heavenly realm, but after all, he was just a little immortal, if something big happened in the heavenly realm, with his status, he was not qualified to interfere.
What he can do is to let Jiang Yuan realize his life in advance, and perhaps, what else can be changed.
Bai Yi took Jiang Yuan to the ninth layer, this ninth layer is actually a peach blossom forest, looking down at the peach blossoms everywhere, looking up at the peach blossom rain, the peach blossom rain is a piece of peach blossoms falling colorfully, it looks like rain, it is really beautiful and intoxicating.
Among them, there is a peach blossom tree that is one foot tall, the branches are dense, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, Jiang Yuan can't help but be attracted to the past, but in fact, it is like being sucked into the soul, unwilling to leave.
Bai Yi sighed lightly and said: "This is the earliest peach blossom tree in Wanxian Residence, which was planted in the Bagua Palace earlier, but later because of the change, it moved here. ”
"This ninth layer is just a place where peach blossoms bloom?"
"This was originally the place where the heads of the past dynasties practiced swords, but after this peach blossom tree moved here, it felt lonely, so it was planted with peach blossom trees all around, so that it can be regarded as having friends, and there is no need to experience loneliness day and night. After speaking, Bai Yi took a step and left, and Jiang Yuan reluctantly left the peach blossom tree and walked with Bai Yi, he kept looking back, I don't know who moved this peach blossom tree that was originally in the Bagua Hall here.
I thought that this Tianshi should be in a very hidden place, not easy to find, but it was not so, it was in this peach blossom forest, slanted on the ground, and it looked like an ordinary stone.
"This is the Heavenly Stone?" Jiang Yuan thought it would be some wonderful stone, but when he saw the true face, he was disappointed.
"Yes, this is the Celestial Stone. Bai Yi ignored his disappointment and said, "You put your hands on the Heavenly Stone, take a good look at what it shows why you are dying." ”
"Is it really that amazing?"
Jiang Yuan cautiously put his hand on the heavenly stone, but there was no response.
Just when Jiang Yuan was puzzled, the Tianshi suddenly lit up, and two big characters appeared on it.
Spirit.
The moment these two words entered Jiang Yuan's eyes, he immediately withdrew his hand, looked at Bai Yi in surprise, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Bai Yi was also slightly startled when he saw these two people, but soon, he returned to his usual seriousness.
"You sit under the heavenly stone, and you are enlightened. ”
Jiang Yuan saw that Bai Yi was about to leave again, and hurriedly asked, "How are these days okay?"
"Nothing. ”
Only these two words were left, which made Jiang Yuan feel at ease.
He looked at Bai Yi's departing back, and suddenly felt a little strange, this person had too many things hidden in his heart, and he didn't know if Bai Yi also put his hand on the Tianshi and saw his life.
Jiang Yuan had no choice but to sit under the heavenly stone, learn from Dugu, the first head of Wanxian Residence, sit cross-legged, and close his eyes to comprehend.
But this enlightenment is not something that can be realized in a day or two, and Jiang Yuan can't calm down for a while, and after a while, Jiang Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the beautiful scenery of peach blossoms.
"If only Jiu'er could come, she would love it here. ”
He suddenly remembered that Jiu'er was a peach blossom demon, perhaps, when these peach blossom trees would attain the Tao, a few demons would pop out, thinking that the scene was definitely extremely lively, ten thousand immortals were born demons, and the people of the world were going to laugh shamefully.
Mo Ran made him have a conjecture.
"Jiu'er is a peach blossom demon, the real person in charge, Jiu'er knows that she is a demon but she is so preferred, isn't it, this Jiu'er..." Jiang Yuan got up suddenly and looked at this peach blossom forest.
"The real person in charge always asks me to participate in enlightenment, what do you want me to understand?" Jiang Yuan felt that things were getting more and more strange, and perhaps the answer could only be obtained in enlightenment.
