Chapter 2: Return to Beijing
The newborn sun slowly rises from the horizon, the morning breeze blows slightly, and the crystal clear dew drops slide down the leaves, jumping happily.
The guys at the inn cleaned the tables and chairs doors and windows diligently, and from time to time guests woke up from upstairs, slowly descended, and sat at the table waiting for breakfast.
I saw that the door of the private room on the second floor was opened from the inside, and it was a man in a light blue brocade robe who stepped out.
He was tall and tall, with staggeringly beautiful flaxen hair, clear and gloomy eyes, pure and full of aura, a high nose, and white skin.
If it weren't for the bulge between the throat and the man's robe, everyone who saw it would have guessed that this was a young lady who was so delicate.
I saw him shaking the tassels on the jade pendant on his waist, humming a tune like nothing, and his hair swayed from side to side with him jumping from time to time.
Eventually, he went upstairs and stopped at the door corresponding to his room, and the hand that had been holding the jade tassel let go and knocked on the door.
"Sorry for the New Year, have you gotten up?"
After a while, I saw that the door was opened, and the girl's appearance was really beautiful.
Like yin beads fainting, beautiful jade fluorescence, there is a faint cold breath of a scroll between the eyebrows.
He should have been eighteen or nineteen years old, and if he looked closely, his fox-like eyes were a little smiling.
"Morning, Xiao Chenzi."
"Hey, how's it going, are you sleeping well?"
"Okay."
The two walked side by side in the conversation, and as soon as they sat down, Xiao Er immediately stepped forward to ask what they wanted to eat.
"Two guest officers, what do you want to eat?"
"Porridge and buns are fine."
Xiao Er left in response, and after ordering casually, he waited for food.
Su Chen glanced at the people who got up one after another and entered the door for breakfast, pinched his somewhat sore shoulders and said:
"I've been sitting in the carriage all this time, and I haven't slept much last night.
But fortunately, it will be half a day's road to the capital, and then you will be able to have a good rest, and then take you to have a good time.
Cherish the year, you don't know, you haven't been in the past few years, the changes in the capital are great. ”
When Gu Xinian heard this, he raised his eyebrows, along the way, he either slept by himself or Su Chen, and he really didn't discuss the affairs of the capital.
"It's been three years, and it's really going to be strange.
What's more, when I was in the capital before, I never went out of the house to take a good look, but now I have no restraints, I can take a good look at the capital, and I will have to trouble you then. ”
As he spoke, he saw Xiao Er holding a plate and began to serve things on the table one by one.
Gu Xinian was thinking about the matters after entering Beijing, and suddenly remembered something, raised his eyebrows and asked:
"By the way, Xiao Chenzi, have you ever heard of a family surnamed Mo in the capital?"
"There are many families in the capital, but what I know is more familiar to everyone.
For example, the Li family, that is, your stepmother's maiden family, as well as the Tang family, the Rong family, as for the surname Mo, I don't seem to have heard of it. ”
Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Gu Xinian's eyes, but he still nodded.
Seeing her like this, Su Chen blinked, thinking that Gu Xinian had something important.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's just that I met a friend when I was in Suzhou before, and he claimed to be from a family in Beijing, and his surname was Mo.
I thought that when I came to the capital now, I could see him. ”
Su Chen listened, nodded, frowned and thought for a while, but still to no avail before shaking his head.
"I can't think of it, I really haven't heard of this Mo family. But it is not ruled out that it is a hidden family, and when you wait in the capital, I will ask someone to help you inquire. ”
Seeing this, Gu Xinian was not polite, nodded with a smile, and thanked him.
Xiao Er had already prepared the porridge and buns and greeted the other guests, so the two of them didn't say anything more, and began to eat, so they hurried away.
"Hey, hey, I heard no? Last night, the Taoist of Qingfeng Temple caught a few more troublesome little monsters, trying to suck people's spirits! ”
The voice of the speaker was very loud, which immediately attracted the attention of the people in the store.
At that moment, the people around him answered:
"I've heard that the overlords in our town are all dead, it's really happy!"
Gu Xinian raised his eyes and looked at the strong man who entered the door, a little curious.
I saw him sitting at the next table and shouting Xiaoer.
After Xiao Er stepped forward and asked what he wanted, he answered:
"It's been hundreds of years, and these goblins aren't dead?"
"Who knows? Since the end of the war between gods and demons and the sealing of the passages from all walks of life, these goblins can't go back, and their abilities are getting weaker and weaker. ”
With that, the man poured a cup of tea, drank it, and continued:
"At first, it was fine, but there was nothing harmful about it, but now, I'm afraid I want to go back too much, I heard that I want to increase my skills.
Speaking of which, these goblins don't harm people indiscriminately, look at the one who died yesterday, which one is not our villain here?
But they don't want to think about it, how easy is the seal under the Emperor of Heaven to pass? ”
At this time, a person with breakfast not far away answered:
"Sick and rushed to the doctor, they are pitiful to these goblins. It's hard to go back to home.
Thousands of years ago, the Three Realms were also extremely harmonious, how could this God Realm and the Demon Realm suddenly have such a big grudge. ”
"Who knows, but if the passages from all walks of life are sealed, those demons and monsters can't come to our human world.
Although all walks of life did get along well before, and many of us people and demons lived together, there were also many people who were not right-minded.
You said that we are all ordinary people, there is no Taoism, there is no immortal art, those demons want to harm us one day, what can we do, we have to be slaughtered. ”
As he spoke, the strong man drank a few sips of Xiao Ershang's porridge and continued to chat with people at the top of his throat.
Gu Xinian blinked, looked at Su Chen opposite, and drank porridge while listening to their chat.
After eating, the two of them set off with their luggage, thinking that they had to rush for nearly half a day, Gu Xinian was really bored, thinking of the words they heard at the inn, and looked at Su Chen.
"Xiao Chenzi, just now in the inn, did you hear what those people said?"
"Huh? Heard, what's wrong? ”
"Is there really a theory of the Six Realms? Why have I never heard of these things? ”
Gu Xinian looked dazed, there was no memory of the original owner, after she came, she had been in Suzhou for three years, and she had never heard of these words.
Seeing this, Su Chen smiled, with an expression of course so.
"The capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the place where the imperial spirit is at its peak, and it stands to reason that very few goblins dare to make trouble.
Other imperial nobles, family officials, they only care about the interests of power and power, but they never care about these things.
The people do talk about it occasionally, but you have never been able to give birth to a good house in the Ye family, and it is normal to listen to it, and it is normal not to know. ”
After the words fell, Su Chen paused, and continued to speak:
"As for Suzhou, it's the same, although you are from the Jia family, the Jia family is also a wealthy businessman in the local area, so naturally it is not uncommon to talk about this.
What's more, the area around Suzhou has always been peaceful, and no one will talk about this.
The most important thing is that it is not common for little demons to cause trouble, but there will be a Taoist to subdue them, so it is not enough. ”
When Gu Xinian heard this, he nodded his head and expressed his understanding.
"So, what is the sudden battle between the gods and demons they are talking about?"
Su Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Xinian:
"It is said that thousands of years ago, under the control of the previous Heavenly Emperor Chi, the relationship between the Six Realms has always been very good, and the lords of the Three Realms of Gods and Demons are even more so.
But I don't know why, the Demon Emperor killed the former Emperor of Heaven, and the son of the Emperor of Heaven is nowhere to be found.
Later, the passages from all walks of life were heavily guarded, and the gods led the gods to raise troops to defeat the demon world, and the demon world also participated in that battle, but it was to fight against the heavenly realm together with the demon world.
It stands to reason that the Lord of the Three Realms has a very good personal relationship, and it is impossible for him to suddenly turn against each other. ”
"That'...... And finally? Did the Celestial Realm win? ”
Gu Xinian looked at Su Chen and guessed, after all, in her cognition, the Heavenly Realm was listed as the strongest existence by people, including modern novels.
Who knew that Su Chen did shake his head.
"I don't know, it's said that no one took advantage of that big battle. Anyway, after the battle, the passage of the Six Realms was completely sealed by the wings.
There are many little demons who have not had time to leave, and they have all been left in the human world.
With the existence of the seal, they can't go back, and not only that, but their power is also suppressed and becomes weaker and weaker. ”
"What about the son of the Emperor of Heaven?"
"I didn't find it, I guess I'm dead."
Hearing this, Gu Xinian paused, "Is it possible for them to go back only if the seal is lifted?" ”
Gu Xinian thought that Su Chen would nod, but unexpectedly he shook his head with a helpless expression.
"It's not. But I don't know exactly how to go back, but when my father was still there, I heard him mention it once.
Said that when the wings first went down to the enchantment, the demons blocked it, and there was a loophole, and there was something that could help them go back, but I don't know what it is. ”
Gu Xinian frowned, I don't know why, I always feel weird, but I can't say what's weird.
I don't know if it's gossip, she wants to know more, but she also knows that this must be all that Su Chen and even the world know.
I had no choice but to suppress my thoughts, after all, I am afraid that the truth of the twists and turns will only be known to those who participated in the war.
When the red sun was in the sky, the carriage also happened to drive into the capital, lifted the curtain, and looked at the people who were constantly coming and going on the street, Su Chen bent his lips.
"Cherish the year, the capital, we have arrived in the capital!"
Seeing the irrepressible excitement in his words, Gu Xinian couldn't help laughing.
"I've been away from Beijing for three years, and I'm so calm, you haven't been back for a few months, why are you more excited than me?"
To exaggerate, Su Chen's excitement is like a small rural household who has never been in the capital.
Su Chen scratched his head, laughed twice and looked for the topic to hide the embarrassment in his heart.
"It's noon, why don't we eat out and then go home?" Anyway, it's all in the capital, and it's not bad for a while. ”
Gu Xinian naturally had no opinions, Su Chen saw her nodding, and recommended his favorite restaurant with great interest.
"Then why don't you go to the cyclamen! Their food is delicious and will definitely make your eyes shine! ”
Su Chen is a noble master, from childhood to adulthood, with fine clothes and fine food.
But it doesn't affect him, like Gu Xinian, he is a good appetite, and he doesn't like anything else, he just likes the world's food.
Half of the reason why the two were able to meet was that he only met after traveling thousands of miles to Suzhou for a few dishes.
"Then I want to see what the restaurant you can talk about tastes like."
