"Dengzizi! It really hasn't changed at all. ”

"Heaven has laws, and immortals can't have children's private affairs. The Emperor of Heaven is not protecting me, because I really have no handle to fall! I have really been among a hundred flowers, and not a single leaf has touched my body, my eyes are full of peach blossoms, but there are no peach blossoms in my heart, and I have always been frank and open-minded...... Besides, everyone is an adult immortal, a group of harmonious and good gatherings and disperses, you and I are willing!"

"Oh?"

Mu Bai nodded: "After living for so long, it's the first time I've heard someone describe the word 'scum' so fresh and refined." ”

"Hahaha!"

Hua Lie is extremely handsome, and he is a military general, with a tall and strong figure, and he is one of the most beautiful men among the gods in the heavenly realm. In addition, he has outstanding military achievements, occupies the position of commander of the Heavenly Army, and has won the trust of the Emperor of Heaven;

It's just that this person is too casual, more like a prodigal on the wind and moon field. All the rumors about him are always entangled with various scandals, and they are endlessly renovated, and he is always the topic of conversation in all fairy gatherings.

"But, then again, I'm a man with a name for self-knowledge. ”

Hua Lie laughed for a while, and then continued: "In the end, there is a peach blossom left in my heart-I know that this is a violation of the taboo of heaven, and I am such a face-saving person, how can I wait for others to catch up? I must have taken the initiative to leave!"

He said it lightly. It's not an ordinary civilian official, the 300,000 Heavenly Army changes the commander, is that a matter of casual words?

Mu Bai said coldly: "Don't say the God of War, the Emperor of Heaven is going to be angry with you, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey. ”

Hua Lie grinned and showed a silly smile, and Mu Bai knew that he was right again.

If it was before, Mu Bai would definitely scold him for being hypocritical. How can you give up your immortal body for a woman and fall into the mortal world? The joke is a bit big.

However, at this time, he inexplicably thought of Fox Fourteen, thinking of the moment she fell into the water, he didn't even think about it and entered the water with her;

It turns out that everyone has done something stupid for a similar original intention, and for the sake of someone who deserves it, at any cost.

So the two of them did not speak very tacitly, each had something on his mind, and drank his own wine.

"Master!"

At this moment, I saw a person outside the door. The door was not closed, Yan Shuling probably never thought that there would be outsiders in his room at this time, and when he entered the house, he saw the two of them drinking and talking, and hurriedly bowed his head and saluted:

"The disciple is abrupt, and I hope that the master will forgive the sin. ”

"It doesn't matter. Mu Bai glanced at her: "It's so late, is there something wrong?"

Yan Shuling's expression was a little hesitant, and she quickly glanced at Hua Lie.

Hua Lie shook his head slightly at Mu Bai, signaling him not to reveal his identity. Mu Bai understood, so he said to Yan Shuling: "This is my best friend, but it doesn't hurt you to say it." ”

Yan Shuling said: "The envoy sent by the capital just now wants to ask me to observe the art of Taiyi and divinate the heavens. The stakes are very high, and I would like to ask the master to show me. ”

Taiyi is the art of the emperor, the first of many Taoist techniques, used to peek into the heavens and measure the fortune of the country.

It's not a big deal, it's just a little out of order. Every year, it is customary for the imperial court to worship heaven and earth in the Temple of Heaven, and usually invite Taoist priests with higher reputation from the various avenues to perform divination, and the emperor will recite sacrifices and pray for blessings in the Temple of Heaven - but this kind of sacrifice is held in winter, and the fortune of Taiyi is the fortune of the country, and ordinary people do not need it at all.

Mu Bai was puzzled in his heart and asked, "Is it a messenger sent by the Ministry of Rites?"

Yan Shuling shook her head: "It's from the palace." The man's face was very raw, and he was very generous, and he presented 10,000 taels of gold in front of him, saying that after the deed was completed, there was another heavy amount of thanks. ”

Mu Bai frowned slightly: "What is there to ask for?"

The disciple asked carefully, and indeed there was only one thing, and that was divination. ”

It sounds a bit strange, but it's not too much to ask. Although in the mortal world, this is an emperor's forbidden technique, but this technique does not violate the rules of heaven, as long as the words and rhetoric are a little careful, it is actually no different from watching fortune telling on the street. It's just that there are very few people in the world who are proficient in the art of Taiyi, and the fee is reasonable.

"If so, you have answered. Mu Bai nodded, and then instructed: "Pay attention to your words, remember to leave room for it." ”

Yan Shuling has always been cautious, and in terms of prudence in words and deeds, he is still relatively relieved.

"Obey the teacher's orders. ”

Sent Yan Shuling away, Mu Bai just turned around, but saw Hua Lie with a strange smile on his face.

Mu Bai was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"You Taoist temple, do you still recruit people? How about I give you a hand? Although I am not very good at fortune-telling, but if there is a plan to find the door, I will keep it for you and call it back, and it will be no problem to hit ten or ten!"

Mu Bai knew that he was greedy when he heard the 'Golden Ten Thousand Taels', so he smiled and said: "You are such a clear person, isn't it good to go back and be the commander of your Heavenly Army?

"It can't be compared!"

Hua Lie waved his hand again and again and said: "I can see that there are more immortals in the world who eat according to their abilities, but there are only ones in the world who can be mixed into Wuling Shenjun!"

Mu Bai snorted and said with a cold face: "I treat you with good wine and food, but you have invited you to make such a mockery of me? ”

Hua Lie smiled and said, "Okay, for the sake of your wine, I'll tell you something." ”

"Huh?"

"That's your female disciple, right?"

"Exactly. Her name is Yan Shuling, and she takes care of the Taoist temple for me. ”

Hua Lie stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of him: "She looked at me twice, and each time it was very short. ”

"So what?"

Hua Lie leaned back in the chair with a smile, the iron fan in her hand slowly unfolded, and the silver brilliance shone: "Judging from my usual experience, she only looked at me twice, and she didn't look back when she left, there are only two possibilities: either she is blind, or she already has a place in her heart, and this love is unswerving." ”

Mu Bai knew that he didn't have anything good to say, so he picked up the wine cup with an expressionless face and drank it all.

Seeing that he didn't react, Hua Lie blinked: "Don't you want to know who she has in her heart?"

"You ......!"

Mu Bai couldn't bear it anymore and said: "What if people just don't like your type? What if people just devote themselves to cultivating? People will be amorous when they look at you, and if they don't look at you, they will say that they have a problem--you are a fairy, can you have a face?"

"Oh, that's such a calf!" Hua Lie sighed.

Mu Bai didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Hua Lie raised his eyebrows and said, "I used to think that as long as I worked hard, there would be no wall foot that I couldn't pry." ”

Mu Bai suddenly wanted to swear, but saw him wave his hand:

"Listen to me. Then he added: "But then I found out that in fact, people's hearts are very small, so small that they can only fit one person. Once this person lives in his heart, he can't tolerate anything else, even if there is a garden full of spring flowers in front of him, it is like nothing. ”

One sentence touched the knot, Mu Bai didn't say a word, only bowed his head and drank.

He is different from Hua Lie, he is indifferent by nature, and he has never competed for beauty in his eyes, but when he was suffering from lovesickness at the moment, he suddenly understood the state of mind he said. Without her by her side, everything feels empty, and it really is 'nothing'.

"I'm here to find you, but I still have business. ”

Hua Lie said, pulling out a fan bone from the iron fan in his hand and placing it on the table.

Qingyun rolling snow fan, the fan bone made of fine iron is as thin as a hairpin, hollowed out and carved with delicate patterns, the top can be shot out as a hidden weapon like a sleeve arrow; the fan surface is a translucent white silk, and the ink and blue on it is a Kunlun flying snow map.

Don't look at its delicate appearance, it looks like a plaything in the hands of a literati son, but it is actually a sharp weapon to take people's lives on the Shura field. With a gentle fan in his hand, he can evoke wind and thunder in an instant, the wind is like a flying blade, and the hurricane can move mountains and seas, and it is also an ancient divine weapon with the same name as the Nine Abysses.

Hua Lie changed his joking tone and said with a straight face: "I want to ask you to do me a favor." ”

Mu Bai saw that he suddenly became serious, so he put down the wine cup: "What's the matter?"

"Earlier, when I was in Mobei, I met a woman named Yun Lan. The sparkle in his eyes gradually dimmed, as if he had fallen into a memory:

"She's a mortal, and we're all right for a lifetime. ”

Mu Bai sneered in his heart: Sure enough, all things related to the wind god Hua Lie are always inseparable from women. Today's incident is not exempt from vulgarity. It's just that I didn't expect such a veteran on the Fengyue field to have a time when he was deeply in love with himself?

However, the story is only the beginning, but there is no follow-up.

Mu Bai waited for a long time, but when he saw that he was reluctant to speak, he urged: "I'm not interested in your gossip." But what about then?"

"At that time, I was trapped by all kinds of trivial matters in the heavenly court and couldn't get out, and for ten days, she waited for me in the mortal world for ten years. Hua Lie finally continued:

"She finally couldn't wait for me. When I arrived, there were only ten miles of sand left, and there was nothing. ”

"Life is just a few decades, so it's just a miss?"

Hearing this, Mu Bai felt a little unhappy in his heart, and said angrily with a straight face: "Do you really use me as a fortune teller on the roadside?

"Well, I'm not done yet. ”

Hua Lie twisted his eyebrows, and said slowly: "Something happened in the middle. During that time, the crown prince Li Ge set off a rebellion in the underworld, and I led my troops out to fight with him, but I didn't expect that he would use Yunlan to blackmail me and make me betray the emperor. ”

Mu Bai suddenly had a bad premonition.

These military generals, their widowhood makes sense. The more worries, the more distractions and the more weaknesses. Most of the time, especially when life and death are at stake, a single thought can make or break the difference. Just like the reason for prohibiting the private relationship between men and women in the heavenly rules, selflessness is fearlessness, and only without concern can we have no distractions and move forward.

Hua Lie sighed and said slowly, "So, I killed her." ”

This kind of result, Mu Bai can probably guess.

If it were him, it would have been the same choice. When it is said to be a choice, in fact, there is no choice. Moreover, being killed by the Qingyun Snow Fan is only the possibility of the soul being scattered.

Mu Bai patted him on the shoulder with a heavy expression, but he really couldn't say anything to comfort him.

This matter, there is no room for anything, and it cannot be changed, it is a doomed death.

Hua Lie continued, "After the incident passed, Chongli told me that she had used the Soul Separation Bead to find Yun Lan's remnant soul and had let her reincarnate. ”

This surprised Mu Bai a little.

Mortals have three souls and seven spirits, although the soul bead can collect the remnant soul, but whether the remnant soul can be repaired as it was as at the beginning depends entirely on luck. If something is missing, the damaged soul may forget all the past when it is reincarnated, or it may be stupid or congenitally disabled, and the outcome is difficult to predict.

"Even if you can find it, it may not turn out the way you think. Mu Bai looked at the infinite obsession in his eyes, and a trace of pity rose in his heart:

"This kind of soul wanders in reincarnation like a wandering spirit, and it is not even recorded in the book of life and death. After a few reincarnations, the spiritual power in the soul will be exhausted, and it will disappear. In short, the greater your expectations, the greater your disappointment. ”

"It's okay, I know all of this, so I'll accept any result. As a person, I never believe in fate, only in man-made. ”
