Chapter 232: Retired Old Immortal
"Please. β
"When people walk in the world, they need to think about the causes and consequences of everything. Many people think that they can take the lead and manipulate their fate by relying on the Heavenly Trick alone, and later in order to change their lives against the sky, they even do not hesitate to use the left way to achieve their goals - in the final analysis, it is just an obsession. β
Hua Lie nodded and said, "Immortal Jun's words are really transparent. β
"In fact, everyone understands the truth, but it is a mystery of the authorities. Fengzao Immortal Jun waved his hand and asked, "I don't know what the Divine Monarch wants to ask?"
Hua Lie thought for a moment: "I came to the mortal world to find someone. What I want to know most is if I can find this person, and if it ends well?"
Hua Lie looked honest, but Fengzao Xianjun was dumbfounded when he heard it. Although he covered his face with a folding fan, he could also see that his shoulders trembled with laughter, and the golden bells on his body rang. After a while, he stopped slightly, and when he put the folding fan away, the beautiful pear socket at the corner of his mouth was clearly visible, and he was still smiling.
Even if half of his true face was concealed, Hua Lie could roughly guess from experience that the smile on that face at this time must be quite demonic.
This time, Hua Lie looked confused.
Is it that funny?!
Hua Lie is usually a person with an excellent temper and can afford to joke, but at this time, looking at Fengzao Xianjun, he laughed inexplicably, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed:
"Isn't that ridiculous?"
"No, it's not. β
Fengzao Immortal Jun barely calmed down, but the corners of his mouth still rose uncontrollably.
- This man's laughter is really strange.
Hua Lie had a gloomy face and did not speak. Fengzao Immortal Monarch probably also noticed that he was a little angry, and hurriedly explained: "I just think that an ancient god with qualifications like Shenjun has lived so clearly, why would he come all the way to ask me such a question?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Actually, you have already made up your mind about this matter. You won't change your mind no matter what the result of your divination is, so why bother with me telling you what to do?"
Hua Lie couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
"If I say, 'Finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and there is little hope,' would you give up the idea and go back to Heaven?"
Fengzao Immortal Jun looked into his eyes and continued to say slowly, "Do you really believe in fate?"
Hua Lie was surprised. He suddenly felt that he seemed to be underestimating the person in front of him.
Fengzao Xianjun continued: "Many times, people are always willing to believe what they want to happen, and ignore the thing itself. But you have been through so many things, and you know very well what you are facing.
You know that there is little hope for what you are doing, so you want to grasp a straw that will be whatever it is, even if it is a 'fate' that you never believed in?"
Hua Lie took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it.
Fengzao Xianjun is right, the so-called rush to the doctor is probably what it means. It was precisely because he really couldn't think of any other way.
He once laughed at Mu Bai for being a coward: love is love, obviously he can't let go of it in his heart, but he just hides and doesn't see it, and it's really boring to deceive himself!
But what about himself? Driven crazy by longing, so he came to fortune telling? In the past, he used to say that the Si Ming Mansion was all some unpopular writers, and he knew that he would sprinkle dog blood and eat mixed rice, and he looked down on the people who bowed to fate the most! What is the matter now?
When he first left Heaven, almost everyone said that he was hot-headed for a woman, and he impulsively abandoned everything, and he had to go to the mortal world to find that ethereal so-called true love, and he would definitely regret it in the future.
He has no regrets. It's just that the thousand years in the world are too long, and he measured all the mountains and rivers with his feet, walked through every inch of land, and tried everything he could think of just to find her.
Even if it is just a wisp of remnant soul, even if there is only a little memory left, it will make him feel that there is still hope, but there is no news.
After a long period of disappointment, it gradually turns into despair. He felt that the once determined in his heart had begun to gradually loosen - could it really be that this was what people said that fate was over and irretrievable?
Suddenly, I remembered the word "preaching" that the little Taoist priests read in their morning class when they were in Wuling Temple. It was originally a Buddhist saying, which refers to the practice of one's beliefs in the most extreme way.
He has used the iron fan in his hand to preach to the people of the world, he has kept the dignity and loyalty of being a martial god, and has guarded the Taiping rivers and mountains, and now he just wants to be a man again, to fulfill the promise he once made to a woman, even if it is thousands of rivers and mountains, even if the vicissitudes of the sea.
On the phoenix algae platform, there is no wind and breath, and everything is silent.
The two men sat opposite each other and were silent for a long time.
Under the starry sky, the tea on the green jade table has been cold for a long time, and the amber tea soup is crystal clear, through the white jade cup is like a thin layer of white yarn, the picture is hazy and quiet.
"You're right. β
Hua Lie suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence, and his gaze was instantly firm: "I shouldn't have come to you today." Since you have already decided to do it, you must do it to the end!
Fengzao Immortal Jun smiled slightly: "The so-called bystander is clear. The Heavenly Technique can only give some guidance to those who believe in fate, and for a martial god like you who holds his fate in his own hands, it is redundant. β
When Hua Lie heard this, he actually hugged his fists at him in a proper manner and said, "Thank you Fengzaojun for mentioning it!"
"May you get your wish soon. β
The two said goodbye to each other, and Hua Lie strode away from Fengzao Terrace.
Just after sending away the wind god Hua Lie, I heard a young voice behind me: "You old fox, don't your conscience hurt if you are so perfunctory?"
Fengzao Immortal Jun turned his face slightly and sneered: "You little fox, don't talk nonsense. β
Hu Qi didn't show weakness, jumped on the stage, snorted, and said: "You don't want to give him a straight talk, why do you send people away with such a lot of nonsense?"
"You know what. β
Fengzao Immortal Jun came to the edge of the high platform and looked down, and saw that Hua Lie had already walked away, so he said in a low voice:
"The wind god Hua Lie is a red man in front of the Nine Heavenly Righteous God and the Emperor of Heaven, and now he has moved his mortal heart to give up the immortal book and go to the lower realm. Today's matter, if it is accurate, the emperor is annoyed with me, if it is not accurate, he is annoyed with meβI am not stupid, why do such a thankless thing.
Moreover, the last time Fourteen asked me to calculate the emperor's fate, I found that his destined person was also in the chaos in the capital. If he played the astrolabe in person, with his cleverness, he would definitely not be able to hide it. If he really sees the mystery, he will definitely stir up some trouble, and when the time comes, it will only increase the variables, and I will be to blame. β
When Hu Qi heard this, he said sourly: "Tut-tut, fourteen and fourteen, you just think about her!"
Fengzao Xianjun smiled: "It's you, I told you to watch her, why did you run home again?"
"The mountain is so high, and the road is so far, it's easy for you to come back with me!" Hu Qi complained angrily, turned around and walked towards the stage: "The corpse oil is running out! β
Fengzao Xianjun frowned slightly when he heard this, followed him down the Fengzao platform, and instructed: "That thing is extremely yin, you can take good care of it." β
The fox didn't reply, and said impatiently: "I know." β
"To mortals, corpse oil is highly poisonous, you must not stain Fourteen with ......"
Hu Qi entered the Dan room, took a small bottle from the medicine cabinet and stuffed it into the treasure bag, and said with a sad face: "Fourteen, fourteen!
"Nonsense again. She's a mortal now, and you should be taboo when you use these things. β
Hu Qi really couldn't listen to it, and protested loudly: "She summoned me like a subordinate! Today, your son was instructed by her to go to the capital to run errands, and was chased and slashed all the way by a fierce Taoist aunt with a knife!"
Fengzao Immortal Jun blinked: "Anyway, you have rough skin and thick flesh, and you run fast, which immortal can catch up with you......"
"Hey, if you talk like that, you're going to lose me!"
"Okay, why don't you take this gold silk soft armor and put it on?"
"Do you finally remember that I'm your own?"
was just half moved, but he said unhurriedly: "In this way, if she is in danger in the future, you can still block the knife for her, which is very good." β
Hu Qi crossed his waist angrily and said: "Usually in Shenjiazhuang, even if you are powerful, how can someone talk to her everywhere!
Fengzao Immortal Jun hurriedly comforted: "Okay, don't be angry! I still have a few fairy treasures here, so I'll bring them to you first." β
"Really?"
As soon as he heard that there was a baby, Hu Qi's eyes immediately lit up, and Fang Cai didn't mention it again.
Today, Shen Qinghui took her husband back to her parents' house in a beautiful manner, and in the evening, the fourth wife held a banquet, not to mention, but also specially invited a troupe from the county seat to have a good time.
The fourth wife has always been competitive and pompous, and only a few days ago was robbed of the limelight by the second young master Shen of Changfang returning to his hometown to fight bandits, and she was unwilling in her heart, and this time she can be regarded as able to save some face.
After all, Shen Qinghui is the eldest lady who is out of the fourth room, the most virtuous and dignified girl in Shenjiazhuang, and married into the scholarly family in the provincial capital.
When it was just dark, the fourth room began to hold a feast, and set up a stage and sang operas, even if it was separated by so many courtyard walls, it could float to Shen Li's house.
"Hidden Ink! Hidden Ink!"
Shen Li called a few times, and the little girl outside the door answered, and hurriedly raised the curtain and entered the house.
"Even if you want to see the excitement, you have to finish the work first, right?" Shen Li said dissatisfiedly: "When I removed the dishes and chopsticks just now, I asked you to serve tea, how many times have you shouted this, what about tea?"
Hidden ink stuck out his tongue: "...... Forgot. β
"Then don't go yet!"
Hidden Mo turned around and ran away.
Shen Li has always been a good person, but today it is not easy to make a scene. If the four-room banquet is held, according to the rules, the old man and lady of the long room will definitely be invited over, but now that the major grain stores in the village are taking inventory, Mrs. Xu has been busy for several days, how can she have time to chat with them?
Besides, Shen Xiaoshan, although he came out of the fourth room, and the fourth wife is also the rarest of him, he doesn't deal with all the people in the fourth room, it's okay not to talk when they meet, but he turns his face when he talks - he will definitely not go to today's banquet.
Daddy Shen is a good man, he is naturally very idle when he doesn't care about things, and he will definitely go if he wants to, but according to the local rules of Shenjiazhuang: men and men sit at the table in the main hall, and women and women sit at the table in the inner room, and they can't even touch each other, and the result is still similar to the effect of Shen leaving him, which is really boring.
Although she is good with Shen Qinghui, when she thinks of the lifeless and power-eyed ghost looks of those ladies and ladies in the fourth room, it is better to forget it.
A person ate dinner in the house sullenly, and there was a faint sound of gongs and drums starting the play on the other side of the fourth room, and the little girls in the courtyard were all a little unable to sit still.
"Miss, tea is here. β
After a while, Yinmo came up with tea, and flattered him with a smile on his face.
Shen Li waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you take the little girls below to watch the play! I don't have anything to call you here." β
"Thank you, Miss!"
Yinmo happily agreed, chatted with the little girls in the courtyard for a while, and went to the four-room courtyard like a group of sparrows to watch the play.
Shen Li suddenly regretted a little, just "hey", chased to the door and looked, the courtyard had already been clean, and a figure was gone.
"Ah, these little hooves with no conscience!" Shen Li scolded hatefully. Although the courtyard was quiet, the direction of the stage in the fourth room was full of people, and the lights were bright, dyeing half of the night sky.
