A few people in the group walked forward for a distance, Murong Tang slowed down, turned around and walked to the lattice shelf, nodded his heels and raised his arm, took down a delicately carved wooden box from the lattice shelf, and then walked back to Xiao Cong, handed the things to Xiao Cong, and said with a smile:

"Come, open it and see if it suits your heart. ”

Xiao Cong held the wooden box with one hand, opened the copper-colored lock with the other hand, and the lid of the box was gently lifted, and he saw that there were two things in the box - a ring and a chessboard. The chessboard is the size of a palm, and the lines on it can't be seen clearly, and the whole is embedded in the box, and I don't know its thickness; the ring style is simple and simple, and there is nothing remarkable about it, Rao is Xiao Cong's spiritual sense is so powerful, he can't even tell its material, he frowned, pursed his lips and looked helplessly for a while, then raised his head and asked:

"Senpai, this is ......"

Murong Tang's face was full of excitement and pride, and he pointed to the wooden box in Xiao Cong's hand and said ostentatiously:

"This is made of iron outside the sky, its name is called Illusion Sikong, from the hand of the master of the mystic weapon Zhong Liqiu, it took my Murong family a lot of effort to get it, and today it will be given to the son, don't look at it black and not slippery, he can be very capable, as long as you wear this ring, you will conjure up a stone room, it is very real." ”

If it is really like what Murong Tang said, this illusion is really a good thing, the old man is worthy of being the one who has been at the helm of the Murong family for decades, and he is really generous, except for the scabbard of Xiaoyue in Yuwen Fengdu's hand, which one of the others can not compare!

Xiao Cong strongly suspects that this divine treasure is estimated to be a fake, the real treasure is not a treasure that has already moved away from the Murong family, and now these are just used to make up for it, he doesn't believe that Murong Tang, an old fox who has been a ghost all his life, will put himself on the meat case and let others slaughter him, steal beams and change pillars, golden cicadas come out of their shells, repair the plank road in the open, Chen Cang in the dark, and work in both the open and the dark, this is the style of action that he should have as a business tyrant.

Xiao Cong closed the wooden box, bowed to Murong Tang and said:

"The juniors have thanked the seniors here. ”

Murong Tang smiled and waved his hand,

"Childe, hurry up, since all the young ladies have chosen their favorite things, then let's go out, I have sent someone to set up a banquet, and it is estimated that the time is about the same. ”

After saying that, he laughed to himself a few more times, turned his head and walked towards the side door.

Out of the Divine Vault, back to the flower hall of the Murong family, Ouyang Aotian sat on the sandalwood chair in front of the hall, chatting happily with Murong Yue, this Murong Yue's vestibule is wide and flat, the cheekbones are towering, the wolf eyes are burning, the middle of the person is clear, the lips are as cold and thin as a knife, the ears are fat like a fan, at a glance, you know that he is a capable person, and it is said that the face is born from the heart, and it is no wonder that he is born in a business family like Murong.

A few people walked into the flower hall when the two were talking, and Murong Yue hurriedly got up when he saw it, bowed to Murong Tang, who was getting closer and closer, and said:

"Father. ”

Murong Tang smiled at him and nodded, and walked past him without pausing, he took a few steps forward, and bowed to Ouyang Aotian, who was standing in front of him with his hands in his hands

：

"Old Murong Hall greets the prince. ”

With a friendly and powerful smile, Ouyang Aotian raised a hand and waved it gently,

"The old man is very polite, you are a generation older than me in terms of seniority, so we will exempt this prince and general. ”

The three of them had another greeting, you came to my network full of beautiful words, Ouyang Aotian had a sleek and hypocritical expression on his face, laughed a few times from time to time, and played easily between the words with Murong father and son, no wonder Xing Guanghao wanted to send this guy to accompany him, just this meeting, I am afraid that even Yuwen Qian, who is the deepest in the city government among the four people, may not be able to deal with it.

Xiao Cong looked at the three people in front of the hall with a smile, his expression was like watching a few clowns jumping off the beam.

After the banquet, Ouyang Aotian took a few teenagers to say goodbye to Murong father and son, the young lady and the young master and the servants at the gate of Murong Mansion stood in a large area, Murong Tang shook hands with Xingliuyun one by one to send blessings, his eyes were full of tears, his words were passionate, and it was as if it was the real thing, as if he could predict the prophet, and he had already glimpsed the glorious future generations of several people, but the world is impermanent, who can foresee it so accurately, it is just a joke on the spot.

When it was Xiao Cong's turn, Murong Tang held Xiao Cong's hand tightly, Xiao Cong's face was slightly stunned, because he obviously felt that there was something more in his palm, he looked at Murong Tang who was close at hand, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, he endured it so entangledly, until the old man finished the trick, then withdrew his hand, quietly moved behind his back, and hid the thing in his belt.

After returning to the Holy City, Xiao Cong turned down Xingliuyun's kind invitation, ran back to Xiao Tianyu's mansion from Yanshi Mansion in one go, and went directly into the room in the middle building of the outer courtyard, took the illusion out of Sikong from his arms and put it on the table, and then used two fingers to take out the things that had been hidden in his belt before.

The weather has cleared, the slightly dazzling sunlight sprinkles on the snow, the untrampled snow shines like salt particles, the trampled snow becomes a mirror, the sunlight is reflected into the eyes, making people feel a little dim, the snow is layered, uneven, the reflected light is intertwined, so that the scenery in front of you becomes a little hazy and blurred, there is a hazy beauty, as if in a thin color glow.

At this time, Xiao Cong's inner environment was like this hazy snow and remnant sunshine scene, he didn't know what was hidden in Murong Tang's things, but he was very eager for the answer he wanted, but he didn't know what answer was hidden inside, so his heart was not only hazy, but even tangled and chaotic.

This is a colorless spar the size of a fingernail, which looks plain, Xiao Cong put it in front of him, looked left and right and meditated for a while, and then suddenly thought of a way to crack it,

"If my guess is correct, this is probably the long-lost shading method. ”

So he set up a blank piece of paper on the table, lit a candle, and slowly approached the candlelight from far to near, and when it was close to a certain distance, a clear image was reflected on the white paper, Xiao Cong was overjoyed, and said excitedly:

"This old man really didn't lie to me, Jiang Caijun's grave is buried here

It's reasonable to be a child, no wonder the Murong family hasn't been able to get ......"

As he spoke, he smiled bitterly,

"It is estimated that there are not many people in the world who can get ......"

Because the landmark is not elsewhere, it is the Wild Desire Temple, which is located in one of the forbidden places of Genjin.

He shook his head helplessly, carefully put away the spar, and put it back into the hidden clip of his belt, and couldn't help but think of Master Tiandao Weng's description of Jiang Caijun.

Listening to the master, Jiang Caijun's original name was actually Jiang Zhiyang, Jiang Zhiyang was also a good name, but because of his prodigal nature, Xuan Zhen had a lot of criticism, so this guy simply did not do anything, and directly stated his attitude to change Zhiyang to Caijun without authorization, and later as he became more and more famous, people forgot about the person named Jiang Zhiyang, and what people remembered was just a colorless and skillful Jiang Caijun.

Speaking of this Jiang Caijun, he is really a person who has won the favor of God, how handsome the skin is, not to mention, just in terms of spirituality in planting treasures, it is enough to envy all the peers back then. Other people's road to fame can be sesame seeds blossom and high, it is already very good, this girl is simply on the rise, before the age of thirty has become recognized as the first person in Xuanzhen alchemy, and is also self-taught! However, a good hand of cards was played to a rotten after all, and he died before he was sixty years old. As for the reason, there are different opinions and different opinions, some people say that he is refining medicine and refining death, some people say that he is tired to death by playing with women, but these statements are nonsense in Xiao Cong's opinion, and one of the statements he agrees with is that Jiang Caijun actually died of life and no love! How to say it, the lust of men and women in the world can no longer satisfy the physical pleasure he is pursuing, even with the assistance of elixir, it is not a problem for him to live to four or five hundred years old with his alchemy technique, but human life is not the purpose of existence after all, it is only the basis for achieving the goal rather than the pursuit itself, if there is a way to achieve what you want without living, then why not? Therefore, after taking care of all the aftermath, this old thing buried himself in the forbidden place of the Xuanzhen Realm.

For Jiang Caijun's life, Xiao Cong didn't dare to judge it, he didn't dare before, and he didn't dare now, he just couldn't understand why a person with such a deep obsession could achieve such a high achievement, and he had also worked hard to explore this problem, which seemed extremely profound to him but was not taken seriously by outsiders, but in the end, he didn't get anything.

Why? Why?

At this time, I thought about it again, and I didn't realize that there were other things in my heart, whether it was a wandering skeleton or seeing a life as a life, it was all a shackle given by the outside world after all, but why couldn't sexual desire become a pursuit? Or what we are pursuing, which is not a desire.

The so-called survival and power, high-end and low-level, are just fifty steps and a hundred steps, and even this kind of wrong perception is derived from desire, so what kind of qualifications and faces do we have to denigrate desire, and for Jiang Caijun, he just broke the shackles and gave life to desire and got what he wanted, from another point of view, those who are admired by others and ascend to the Tao

But do they get what they want? What do they want? Is the eternity they desire truly eternal? Is the faith they preach going to be vain after all?

Xiao Cong couldn't help but let out a sneer, and suddenly realized:

"There is only one kind of eternity in this world, there is death, hand over life to the pursuit, choose a suitable node to die, this is the greatest achievement in life, Jiang Caijun, a short-lived person who crossed Xuanzhen like a meteor, used his short life to interpret the most authentic truth in the world, we are all too tired to live, only he lives easily, maybe his achievements that are beyond the reach of his descendants are also thanks to this. ”

He was stunned for a while, until his eyes were sour and unbearable, and he blinked involuntarily, and this blink also made him come back to his senses suddenly, and the thing in front of him slowly became clear, arousing his thoughts about this,

"By the way, I haven't tried this illusion yet!"

The huge freshness that quickly poured into his mind diluted the heavy feeling of Fang Cai, his eyes were shining, and he put the ring on his hand with anticipation, and the next moment the object in front of him suddenly changed, and a four-foot square stone room appeared in front of him, oh no, it should be that he was in it.

He looked around, his mouth open, he even felt that his mind was clear, his soul seemed to be nourished by something, it was too real, too unbelievable, he moved forward, he felt something, he knew it was a table.

The smooth stone dun, the quaint chessboard, the crystal clear black and white, it turned out that all this was really just a fantasy, he smiled and took the ring off his finger, and everything was back to normal.

"Good thing, this is much better than my previous Yunluo chessboard. ”

He tossed the ring between his fingers and kept playing with it, his eyes were extremely clear, although it was a bit unconscionable to say this, because the Yunluo chessboard was given to him by his father after all, but the Yunluo chessboard had already been ground into powder in the Fengmian Valley, and the deceased was only nostalgic, and this illusion was now really placed in front of his eyes. Having said that, the illusion is better than the previous Yunluo chessboard, there is no doubt about it, besides, a pair of Yunluo chessboard does not represent his gratitude to his father, if you have to make a big fuss on a chessboard, it really seems that you are a little pretentious, with these seemingly high-sounding but in fact empty hats for a lifetime, it is not exhausting, it is better to use limited energy to do something serious to be practical and free.

After playing for a while, Xiao Cong reluctantly put away the illusion, thinking that it was time to meet his father, he had been back for so long, and the news should be about to reach the house, so he took the ring and chessboard into his arms, went out and went downstairs, and walked towards the inner courtyard with cheerful steps, he thought that now that he had obtained this treasure, how could he not let his father know, if his father liked it, he would give it to his father as a gift.
