Zhao Ran returned to Baoyue Villa, and the place he chose to live was a single-family two-story building on the shore of Mochou Lake, standing by the railing facing the quiet lake under the moonlight, and seriously clarifying his thoughts.

There are a lot of things in the past two days, one is the marriage with Hongze Lake, the other is to investigate the case of the two thieves in Chunfeng Guanyun, and the other is the Son of Heaven Lichu.

Especially the Son of Heaven Lichu, if what Feng Bao said is true, then the Son of Heaven immediately instructed Yang Yiqing to come forward and ask the ministers about their views on the two princes, and the meaning is worth pondering.

It is clear that the Daomen does not allow qualified princes to ascend the throne, and you still go to consult the opinions of the courtiers, what do you want to do? Are you deliberately provoking the authority of the Daomen? Or do you think that the Daomen has ceded the general affairs of the three provinces, so you can get more?

A flying talisman was issued, and soon after receiving a reply from Dongfang Li: "The correspondence with Yuwangfu is very good, keep it up, maybe you don't have to be so careful." ”

After receiving this flying talisman, Zhao Ran pondered for a long time and shook his head.

He suddenly thought that he didn't know when he had gradually begun to think about these important things concerning the world? Then he smiled to himself, and the sky fell and there was a tall man on his head, let him go!

So he put down his mind for the time being and went back to his room to continue his cultivation. Since entering the Archmage Realm two days ago, he had begun the steps of cultivating his divine sense, and the rich merit power stored in the sea of qi had been refined again after an interval of nearly half a year.

A big difference between the cultivation of merit power and the cultivation of spiritual power is that it does not take a lot of time to refine and refine, and the transformation speed of merit power by Jingyuan is very fast, and every day after getting up in the morning, or before going to bed late, it takes one or two sticks of incense to complete the cultivation of the whole day, and even when eating.

The biggest restriction comes from the limitation of Jing Yuan, otherwise Zhao Ran is sure that if the merit is enough, for example, when he fought drought last year, he can complete the cultivation of the Jindan Realm in three days.

I was busy all day today, and I didn't have time to do my homework, so Zhao Ran first soaked his feet in a basin of hot water - it is said that soaking his feet in hot water in winter is really an indescribable enjoyment. He practiced while soaking his feet, and when his feet were comfortable, today's homework was completed.

After completing it, I looked inward, and realized that the remaining merit power was still enough for me to cultivate for half a year, and when these merit powers were exhausted, the cultivation of the divine consciousness could be stabilized, and perhaps a quarter of the entire cultivation process could be completed.

With a pinching of the two-finger technique, he caught the basin in the air, pushed open the door and splashed it downstairs......

There was a sudden roar downstairs: "Who is so lacking in morality...... Oops, it turned out to be the Taoist, haha, what, so dead of night, it turns out that the Taoist can't sleep, haha......"

Zhao Ran leaned on the railing and asked suspiciously: "In the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"

Yuyang said with a smile: "What about cultivation, disturbing the Dao Chief's rest, is it a minor repair, is it a minor repair, make amends to the Dao Chief......

"How did I cultivate to my downstairs?"

"I'm sorry, Xiao Xiu walked around the lake, this is the third circle, I didn't expect the Taoist to come back. ”

"What kind of exercise is this?"

"You need to eat the essence of the moon to make up for the lack of yang energy, this is the ancestral practice of Xiao Xiu!"

"Who's your dad?"

"Huh......?"

"Save it, return to the ancestral ...... What's the name of this exercise?"

"Exercises are known as Yang ......"

"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss, hurry back and rest, okay, see you tomorrow." ”

The door closed with a "bang", and Yuyang, who was downstairs, rolled his tongue and licked the water droplets on his nose: "A little salty?"

After staying in Baoyue Villa for two days, Zhao Ran met Empress E and Nuying who came from Hongze Lake.

Empress E is Duck Xiaoqi, and Nuying is Fox Xiaojiu.

Involving the marriage between the Zongsheng Pavilion and Hongze Lake, Zhao Ran attached more importance to these two spirit demons who were willing to serve a husband, and decided to personally cook a delicious meal to entertain the goddaughters of these two Hongze Lords, this is his best skill, after a meal, no matter what spirit demons, he basically obeyed.

But these two entered Baoyue Villa, and after meeting Zhao Ran, they followed Yuyang towards the lakeside woods.

After chasing them, they shouted: "You come back early from swimming in the lake, I will make you a barbecue dinner!"

When it was almost time for lunch, Zhao Ran took out all kinds of ingredients and utensils, found a beautiful scenery by the lake, and set up a barbecue stall.

While grilling and eating, it is quite pleasant to enjoy the view of the lake. When it was almost over, Zhao Ran walked towards the dense forest and beckoned these unconscious guys to eat. As a result, after entering, he pinched his nose and retreated......

Wait another hour, return to the dense forest, pinch your nose again and exit, like three.

When he went in for the third time, Zhao Ran saw Xiaoqi the duck and Xiaojiu the fox who were paralyzed on the ground, as well as Yuyang who was sleeping heavily.

In the end, he had to sigh and taste the food on the barbecue stall by himself, enjoying the red sunset in winter while eating.

Duck Xiaoqi and Fox Xiaojiu lived in Baoyue Villa, and it is said that they planned to live until after the Lantern Festival, and accompany Yuyang to make this New Year lively, so as not to make him feel lonely in a foreign land.

In this regard, Yuyang said that he was really homesick.

Zhao Ran's idea is that after all, the southeast is a place of humanity, and even this group of demon cultivators knows that they are going to celebrate the New Year, like when he was in Song Domain a few years ago, he still needs to catch demons in person, so that he can catch those rabbits, tigers, monkeys or something together to accompany him for the New Year.

On second thought, before you know it, it's been another six years......

In the blink of an eye, it was another year's pass, Dongfang Li brought the Ma family's scattered cultivation back to the capital, and Zhao Ran got the news, after the inspection of the Ma family's scattered cultivation, the two thieves Chunfeng and Guanyun did not have Gu skills in their bodies, so there was no possibility of being controlled by others and doing something that they were not even aware of.

It is said that in the process of inspection, the two thieves really suffered a lot, which also made Zhao Ran full of curiosity about the Gu art that was passed down from generation to generation in Miao Dong's scattered cultivation.

Since there is no Zhong Gu, let's start the second step of interrogation, that is, Zhao Ran's suggestion: Boil the eagle.

It took time to boil the eagle, so Zhao Ran continued to wait for news in Baoyue Villa.

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the housekeeper of Baoyue Mountain Villa prepared a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Zhao Ran and the three spirit demons gathered downstairs by the lake to start keeping the New Year.

The three spirit demons are all cute-looking, not vicious, so these stewards and servants are very willing to come together, so Zhao Ran simply beckoned them to eat together. A lot of firecrackers and fireworks were purchased in the villa, and everyone put them on and chatted at the same time, and the atmosphere of the New Year was not bad.

During the banquet, Zhao Ran introduced various things about Sichuan, Songfan, and Dajun Mountain to Ya Xiaoqi and Hu Xiaojiu, and expressed a warm welcome to the two soon-to-be-moved Empress Nuying on behalf of the Zongsheng Pavilion, and asked them to live in harmony and create a civilized family together.

Hu Xiaojiu said: "Thank you Dao Chang, it must be interesting to come to the Song Domain, after all, there are so many fellow Daoists together." Speaking of which, I also went to Sichuan back then, and I stayed there for half a year, and I still like Sichuan, so don't worry, I can adapt after I go. ”

Duck Xiaoqi asked, "Xiaojiu, when did you go to Sichuan?"

Hu Xiaojiu said: "Eight years ago. ”
