Chapter 52: The Saint of Ten Thousand Immortals (1)
Ah Nian and Zixu did not discuss where to settle in the imperial city, but Zixu directly brought Ah Nian into the mountains and forests connected to Yuhuaji's courtyard, which was exactly what Ah Nian wanted-she wanted to go to the courtyard first.
Because of this trip to Penglai, Li'er helped a lot, and her help originated from having an old relationship with Yuwei Zhenren and Yuhua Mountain, so Ah Nian thought that Li'er should also be a friend of Yuhuaji, and Li'er's two daughters were naturally the queen of the deceased, so she felt that it should not be too presumptuous for her to take the sisters into the hospital.
During this trip to Penglai, almost all of Ah Nian and Zixu's belongings were buried in the sea, and the only thing she was glad about was that the hairpin that Yuhua Ji gave Ah Nian had not fallen on her head.
The group returned to Yuhuaji's courtyard very smoothly, it was almost dusk at this time, the sunset was shining, the grass and trees in the courtyard were gilded with golden light, a quiet and peaceful outside added a bit of sacredness, the breeze came slowly, the flowers and plants danced softly, and the branches and leaves of the acacia tree in the center of the courtyard were also swaying softly......
"The flowers and plants in this yard are so beautiful!" Li Yingge couldn't help but sigh, and was glared at by Li Yinyue again, and immediately bit his lip and said that he would not speak again.
Ah Nian looked at the acacia tree and froze, as if he was a little homesick. At this moment, the acacia tree suddenly transformed into a beautiful girl in green clothes, and a pair of eyes sparkled and stared straight at the visitor.
Zixu pulled Ah Nian to meet him, Ah Nian and Hehuan were close at hand, but they only looked at each other silently, Zixu was thinking if he needed to reintroduce it, but Hehuan shouted first, "Ah Nian, you're back!"
Ah Nian smiled, "Well, I'm back, Hehuan!"
He Huan pounced on him and hugged Ah Nian tightly, "You're really back!" The tears that had been rolling in his eyes rolled out, and then he couldn't suppress his crying anymore, "I'm so scared...... I'm afraid you won't come back!"
"Am I not back?" Nian stroked her back.
He Huan let go of Ah Nian, and then stepped back a little to look at her carefully, already biting his lip to suppress the cry, but the tears still flowed non-stop......
Ah Nian couldn't help but quip, "You are a tree, crying like this...... What should I do if I am dehydrated?"
"It's good to get some water and pour it on!" He Huan burst into tears and laughed, and grabbed Ah Nian's hands again, "Ah Nian, you have become so beautiful! This is so good, my Ah Nian should be so beautiful!"
Ah Nian didn't have a handkerchief on his body, so he could only wipe his tears with his sleeve, and couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid you won't recognize me!"
"How can you not recognize you, I will always recognize you!" Hehuan himself wiped his face with his sleeve and stopped crying.
Ah Nian took Hehuan's hand and introduced her to the sisters Li Yingge and Li Yinyue, and also explained that they were from Penglai, and also introduced Hehuan to the two sisters.
"It's worthy of being from Penglai, it's all like fairies!" He Huan sighed.
The girl's family was overjoyed to be praised for her beauty, Li Yingge smiled, "The Hehuan girl is also beautiful!" Li Yinyue also bent the corners of her lips slightly and nodded her head.
They were telling each other the truth, but Zixu on the side heard some compliments from their back and forth.
Ah Nian asked Hehuan next, "Lady Yu is not here?"
He Huan, who was still looking at each other with the two sisters, turned his head back, nodded, and said, "Yuwei Zhenren has been very busy, and you haven't come back since you left, so Mrs. Yu naturally wants to accompany him." But Madame Jade comes back once a day, and I think she should have come to see if you came back. She's back today, and you missed it. β
Ah Nian was not in a hurry to see Yuhuaji at this time, she felt that it was best to take the two sisters to meet with Yuwei Zhenren.
made up his mind, Ah Nian was about to speak, but Zixu took the lead again-
"Let's go all the way, let's have a good rest today! Let's go to the palace together tomorrow, Yuwei Zhenren and Madame Yu should be in the palace. β
The first half of Zixu's statement is the same as Ah Nian's consideration, and the second half is completely different. "How to get to the palace? Do you want to break into the palace again?" Regarding the last time he broke into the palace, she hadn't had a chance to deal with him!
Zixu waved his hand, "You don't have to break in this time, we can walk in!"
"How do you get in?" Ah Nian was curious.
"Tomorrow, Miss Ah Nian will know!"
Ah Nian nodded when she saw that he was confident, "Okay!" She waited to see what way he had.
Yuhuaji's small courtyard is not big, and there are only two rooms that can sleep people, and Ah Nian, the guest who stays, of course, can't tamper with the other room where the owner Yuhuaji and Yuwei live, so Ah Nian can only let a few people squeeze into one room, she thought about making the bed to Li Yingge and Li Yinyue, and she and Zixu made the floor together.
Ah Nian went to the room first, intending to confirm what needed to be purchased, and let Zixu take advantage of the incomplete sunset to go and buy it back. But as soon as he entered the house, Ah Nian found that there was an extra bed on the floor and a separate screen.
"It's all bought by Madame Yu!" He Huan leaned her head against the door and looked inside, explaining, "I think she bought it because she believed that you would definitely come back! Madame Yu doesn't have many good words, but she is actually a very good person!"
Ah Nian was a little surprised - Yuhuaji treated her well, and it could even be said that she treated her quite well, but she always thought that it was not Yuhuaji's personal wishes, she had to treat her well for the sake of Yuwei Zhencai. At this time, Ah Nian felt that Yu Huaji was sincere to her!
Ah Nian walked to the side of the bed, picked up the soul umbrella on the bed, and whispered, "Grandma, I'm back." β
The red umbrella shook very slightly, and Ah Nian felt it, and couldn't help but be happy in her heart - grandma should have recovered a little.
"Grandma, you have to get better soon!" Ah Nian took the umbrella in his arms and walked out of the house.
Li Yingge felt strange, stared at Ah Nian and asked, "It's not like it's going to rain, what are you doing with an umbrella?"
"Isn't this umbrella an ordinary umbrella?" Li Yinyue stared at the umbrella in Ah Nian's arms.
Ah Nian raised his eyes and looked at Zixu first, Zixu only smiled, "It's a beautiful umbrella!"
Ah Nian glanced at the other three again, she was quite relieved about these people, so she said truthfully, "In this umbrella is my grandmother." Her soul was injured by thunder and fire, and Madame Jade gave me this umbrella to gather her spirit. β
"I have always felt that Miss Ah Nian cherished this umbrella and carefully hid it, so it turned out that this is the case. Zixu is still very indifferent.
Ah Nian glanced at Zixu againβit turned out that he had already noticed this umbrella? This person ...... Sure enough, I haven't been confused!
"Is this a soul umbrella?" Li Yinyue was still very concerned about the red umbrella, and her eyes were still glued to it.
"Yes!" Ah Nian nodded.
Li Yinyue opened her mouth slightly, and stopped talking.
"Miss Ah Mi might as well say it if you have something to say!"
Li Yinyue said slowly, "I heard that the Soul Crossing Umbrella was originally a thing in the hands of the Sansheng River God, which can concentrate the spirit and protect the Yin Soul. The umbrella is made of the incorruptible stone at the bottom of the Sansheng River as the umbrella bone, white as jade, extremely tough, and the divine soldiers are difficult to hurt; the umbrella bone is sealed with the water of the Sansheng River, so that this umbrella can withstand the thunder of the Nine Heavens without scorching; the umbrella surface is dyed with the color of the Sansheng flower, which is as red as blood, and can block the light of the sky from invading. β
Ah Nian didn't know much about the Soul Crossing Umbrella, but he was taught, tapped it, and said, "This one of mine is definitely not the one of the river god." β
"Maybe it's not the river god's, but it can be called the three things I said about the soul umbrella, and it needs to be forged by the yin fire of the underworld for 9981 days, so the soul crossing umbrella is very rare. Li Yinyue showed a rare and excited smile, "The lady who gave you the umbrella must be an ordinary person!"
The Soul Crossing Umbrella turned out to be so rare, but Yu Huaji didn't take it seriously at the beginning. Ah Nian couldn't help but feel aggrieved by this umbrella, but at the same time, she was also glad that Yuhuaji didn't value this umbrella.
Ah Nianwei spoke, Zixu spoke, "Of course Mrs. Yu is not an ordinary person, she is the famous Yuhua Ji. β
"Yuhua Ji?" Li Yinyue and Li Yingge were both shocked.
Seeing the expressions of the two sisters, Zixu and Ah Nian realized that they didn't know.
"Don't you know? She's the wife of a real person. Ah Nian said.
"How can Xuhuai Zhenren be with Yuhua Ji?" Li Yinyue twisted her eyebrows in disbelief, "We only heard that Xuhuai Zhenren had an affair with his apprentice, and his apprentice's name is Li Yaohua!"
"Yuhua Ji should be Li Yaohua. Ah Nian remembered that Yuwei called Yuhua Ji Yaohua.
"Ahh Li Yingge exclaimed.
"I see!" Li Yinyue accepted instead, stretching her brows.
"What is so?" Li Yingge hugged Li Yinyue's arm with both hands, "Yuhua Ji ...... The rumored Immortal Demon Calamity is very terrifying, Yuhua Ji!"
Li Yinyue sighed indifferently, "It's rare that you remember, Sister!"
Zi said with a false smile, "In the past, she was a tiger, which was naturally scary, but now she is a domestic cat, don't be afraid!"
Ah Nian glared at Zixu, but he also felt that Zixu described it quite appropriately.
"Madame Jade has always been quite amiable to people. Ah Nian comforted Li Yingge and said, "Your father and mother and Yuwei ...... That is to say, the real person is a friend, and Mrs. Yu loves the real person deeply, so she will not embarrass the two of you. β
"Oh!" Li Yingge let out a long breath and stroked his chest. After a while, she nagged again, "This humble real person is quite peculiar, he was quite bold and reckless when he had a personal affair with his apprentice, and he even dared to get involved with Yu Huaji." I'm getting more and more curious about what kind of person he really is. β
"You're going to see him!" but he may be even more incomprehensible after seeing him in person. Ah Nian himself still thinks that it is a very bizarre and incomprehensible thing for Yuwei and Yuhua Ji to become husband and wife.
Ah Nian asked Zixu to go to Zhang Luo and came back with some food for dinner, and a few people rested after eating some - the acacia turned back into a tree and stayed in the yard, Li Yingge and Li Yinyue sisters slept in the bed, and across the screen from them, Ah Nian lay down on the ground first with the soul umbrella.
"Miss Ah Nian, ...... It's not proper!" After listening to Ah Nian's placement, Zixu has been panicking until now.
"There's no place!" Ah Nian was a little tired from coming over this way, and he didn't bother to open his eyes after closing them.
"Then I'll sit all night!" Zixu sat down on the spot as before.
He and she both slept in the same bed a few times, and he was still stubborn? Ah Nian ignored him this time. He loves to sit and sleep!
After dawn the next day, Ah Nian and Zixu took the two sisters and the Hehuan who had to follow into the imperial city.
Last night there was a heavy snowfall, all the way to see is white, at this time the small snow particles are still squirming and falling, but the imperial city has not changed the past prosperous, the street is full of people, the river is still very lively.
After breakfast, Zixu took a few people to the palace, and when they arrived at the palace gate, several people were naturally stopped.
Ah Nian didn't panic, she raised her eyes to look at Zixu, Zixu was more calm, he took out a pitch-black token unhurriedly, held the order in his right hand, and raised his left hand at the same time, with the palm facing inward, as if showing the back of his hand to others.
Ah Nian glanced at his left hand, and there seemed to be some black pattern on the back of his hand, which was fleeting, and she didn't have time to see it clearly.
At this time, the person headed by the Praetorian Guard on duty stepped forward and bowed slightly, and without speaking, he waved his hand, let the left and right take away his blade and retreat to make way.
The group entered the palace gate, and when Zixu was about to put away the token, Ah Nian stretched out* -
"Ah Nian girl!" Zi Xuan stopped, and immediately snatched the token from Ah Nian's hand.
Li Yingge curiously wanted to come up and look at the token, but he didn't have time, because Zixu's movements were fast enough, but Ah Nian had already seen the token clearly - the token was pitch black all over, cold to the hand, the material was not common iron, like some kind of stone, there was originally a golden order character on it, there was no extra pattern, but when it reached Ah Nian's hand, the order word disappeared in an instant.
Ah Nian raised his eyes and stared straight at Zixu and asked, "What is this?"
Zixu had already put away the token and said with a smile, "The token given by His Majesty." β
"Why did he give you the token?"
"Because I promised him to do things for him. β
"Why are you doing things for him?"
"Because it's good!" Zi Xuan said with a grin.
"Is it because of the benefits, or is it because it is a last resort?"
Zi smiled and said, "Both!"
Earlier, she was injured by Yan Yan, and he forced his way into the palace in order to find Yuwei and Yuhuaji, so he didn't have this token at that time, how did he get his token after that...... Obvious.
Seeing Ah Nian's expression condensed, Zixu hurriedly said, "Ah Nian, girl, you don't need this expression! In fact, it is not a loss to help the emperor do things, he will give me some rewards and conveniences!"
Ah Nian smiled slightly, "Zixu Daochang's open-minded attitude is admirable!" She actually wanted to be angry, but she knew that she was not qualified to be angry with him, so she could only be angry with herself in her heart.
Because she changed too quickly, Zixu didn't come back to her senses for a while.
Ah Nian tugged at his sleeve, "Let's go!"
"Oh!" Zixu came back to his senses and led everyone to find their way to Si Tianjian......
