Chapter 9 Return to Chang'an
Jiang Meng, who had been forgotten for a long time, was released by the old monk under Fan Ce's pleading.
As soon as she was let go, she returned to her residence in the Tianduan Mountain Range without looking back, as if she was sulking.
Sure enough, regardless of age, this point is universal.
Fan Ce also followed closely behind to comfort her.
Everyone knows about these two people.
Although they never tore through the window paper, they were almost used to each other's presence.
The old monk roughly swept away, and saw that the people were almost here, and immediately said: "In this way, to prevent your group of children from making trouble, make an agreement." β
We only spent our days quietly in the cave, and we didn't toss around...... Many Dao realms want to cry without tears.
"Before the world of great controversy begins, you are not allowed to meddle in mundane affairs, oh you can play anonymously, but you can't affect the world on a large scale. β
Xu Yunshen gambled a penny, and the old monk made an exception because he wanted to play.
"This is natural, all Daoists have long regarded mundane things as vain and concentrated on cultivation. Yan Cai smiled indifferently and arched his hand towards the old monk.
The old monk nodded, his smooth head flashed with an indescribable light, and said, "I am extremely relieved of you, as soon as you close your eyes, you will be able to catch up with me after decades of cultivation." β
Yan Cai has the nickname of Super Dead House in many Dao realms.
"Don't dare, don't dare. Yan Cai hurriedly pushed back.
"Does anyone have any objections?" the old monk raised his voice.
All the Dao realms in the field shook their heads slightly.
The old monk nodded with satisfaction, took out a white and tender peach from the cloth bag around his waist, and bit it until the juice flowed.
He said vaguely: "Disciple, then I will continue to go back to the mountain." β
Xu Yunshen nodded when he heard this.
"I guess I didn't want to worry about it, and I suddenly disappeared. The old monk smiled, and the nasolabial folds on his face were squeezed together.
Xu Yunshen knew that this unreliable master would always have to make some trouble.
He gently cupped his forehead and sighed deeply.
I don't know how the little junior brother is now, I haven't seen him for more than a year, and I'm also in a panic.
Wait a minute......
"Master, how can I recover my strength?" Xu Yunshen immediately raised his head and asked.
It's just that there is no one in front of him, and no one can sense how he left.
"This old man, running so fast. Xu Yunshen sighed again, and he didn't know if the path he had found was correct.
A whisper came from the air: "Haven't you already found your way?"
Okay, it looks like this is the wrong path.
Xu Yunshen knew that the old monk's words could not be believed.
After the big boss left, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Yibai was also aggrieved and spoke up: "Sure enough, Master, he doesn't recognize me." β
"Huh?"
Xu Yunshen looked at her in surprise.
Could it be that the old monk would still have amnesia?
Luo Yibai saw Xu Yunshen's thoughts and explained, "I once told you that the master has accepted many apprentices. And our master can be said to be the same, or it can be said that it is not the same. β
"Because of the way he cultivated, he would return to his original self every hundred years. All the experiences in the meantime will be forgotten. Although we can learn about the past from other sources, we will eventually have a layer of estrangement if we do not experience it personally. β
Xu Yunshen understood what she meant, and then he looked at other Dao realms and found that he was not surprised.
I also understood that I was the one who learned the news relatively late.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "How many years is it before the reset is now Master?"
He felt that something was wrong, and he always felt that the old monk was like a machine.
"When the holy monk helped me, it was his last ten years, and it was reset shortly after the founding of the country. It was Tang Taizu Chen Yu who took over the conversation and said.
"You are ......" Xu Yunshen looked at the face of this man, faintly familiar.
"My name is Chen Yu, and I am the 'first emperor' of Tang. Chen Yu smiled freely.
Yu Zhongge stepped forward and whispered to Xu Yunshen, a turtle whose information was lagging behind, before he suddenly realized.
"Long Yang!" Xu Yunshen gave a peer salute, "In that case, it is still thirty or forty years before the master resets?"
"When it's full, it's forty-two years. Chen Yu replied with a smile.
Forty-two years of wind and rain.
......
Soon, Xu Yunshen was summoned by the emperor to return to Chang'an to report on his work and be rewarded.
King Meng Yan didn't expect any holy decree to reward and punish him, so he said goodbye to Xu Yunshen dryly.
Xu Yunshen, Yuzhongge, Duan Qiushui, Huahua, and Jiang Dazhong got on a regular official ship together.
Naturally, the guards were spared, and there was no one else except a few people who drove the ship and a dozen attendants.
"It's all said, I'll fly you back directly to Duoyuan, and I'm going to take this boat, and I'm dying slowly. Tamanaka leaned against the railing of the deck, a chilly wind dancing in her hair.
A group of powerful people can ignore the cold and heat, which makes people forget the four seasons a little.
It wasn't until now that the cold wind on the lake made the flowers wrap up their thick jackets, and people suddenly woke up - it turned out to be early spring!
It's March, but there's no sign of warming up. The sequelae of the winter thunder, confirmed by the Guantian Prison, will last until the end of March. Countless farm work was postponed until the end of March or even the beginning of April. During this period, it was inevitable that the imperial court would allocate funds for the poor people to survive the famine.
For the imperial court, which had just mobilized for several wars, this was undoubtedly another heavy burden.
In particular, it has experienced some natural and man-made disasters, and the ordinary imperial court has long been displaced and almost collapsed.
Fortunately, Datang has been peaceful for a long time and has deep savings. At the same time, the unification of power and government also made the people nowhere to resist and powerless to resist.
Back to the ship.
Yu Zhongge was accustomed to the high speed of crossing in the void, and for a while, he couldn't adapt to the "turtle speed" of this small boatβalthough this speed was already faster than the average cultivator's full strength.
"Yu'er, don't worry......" Xu Yunshen lay next to her, watching the bottom of the boat row the water, stirring up a splash.
Yuzhongge slightly restrained his impetuous mood and returned to a calm state.
She tilted her head slightly, looked at Xu Yunshen's side face, and couldn't help but smile.
"How?"
"You're bald again. β
Xu Yunshen was also a little helpless: "Who knew that I just couldn't get along with my hair? β
It's only been a few months since my hair disappeared.
In the past few days on the ship, there has been no trace of hair growth.
Xu Yunshen knows now: I'm afraid I won't have anything to do with him in this life.
Jiang Dazhong and Duan Qiushui were resting in the house, while Huahua was playing inside.
There was no one else on the great deck but them.
The wind of the hunt stirred up the big sleeves of Yuzhongge, and she used some cultivation to press the flying clothes.
She asked softly, "How do you feel about her?"
"She?" Xu Yunshen tilted his head, feeling a bad premonition in his heart, and his head seemed to hurt.
"Duan Qiushui. β
Xu Yunshen's head really began to hurt.
He touched his head weakly: "Didn't I say it before, that is, to be a subordinate." β
"Really?"
Even though Xu Yunshen really felt so, he was also forced to feel a little weak by Yu Zhongge's cold look.
He swallowed, "Really. β
"Then I believe you this time, and I hope you will not live up to my trust. β
As soon as he said this, Xu Yunshen felt that something was wrong.
Now the empty vernacular explanation, presumably Yuzhongge can no longer listen to it - because of preconceived ideas.
Unless there is iron-clad evidence to prove it, Xu Yunshen and Duan Qiushui are really nothing.
But where would there be such a thing?
Xu Yunshen couldn't argue, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow the bitter fruit this time.
It is also the only regret in his life: he refused Duan Qiushui's follow.
......
After a week, Xu Yunshen and others arrived in the familiar Chang'an.
The temperature is also starting to warm up a bit, and they see countless people running for the new year.
Among the crowd rushing to the endless grain area, Xu Yunshen also caught a glimpse of acquaintances.
"Yo, Lao Zhao, where are you going!" Xu Yunshen raised his hand.
Lao Zhao tilted his head when he heard the sound and put down the sack on his shoulder.
After carefully identifying it, he slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Isn't this Brother Xu! I'm about to sow seeds now, but this year there is a shortage of manpower, and I didn't hire anyone, so I went in person." How about it, brother, are you free today? The salary will be calculated for you by 30%, and I will take you to have a drink!"
"This ......" Xu Yunshen looked entangled, "I still have something to do, otherwise I will definitely help you." So, if you still need help in two days, I can come here. Forget about the money or not, we are all old friends. But wine is not avoidable, and I am worried about your private collections. β
"Hahaha, okay, then four days later, at one o'clock in the afternoon, you will come to the old place to look for me. β
After the two said goodbye happily, Xu Yunshen sat back in the carriage.
"Who is?" asked Yu Zhongge curiously.
Xu Yunshen looked at Lao Zhao running on the road with a hemp bag on his back, with some mixed tastes, but he calmed down in an instant.
He smiled and said, "Didn't I help people for a while, and that's when I met." Many of my knowledge of growing vegetables was taught by Lao Zhao by hand. β
Then Xu Yunshen leaned against the wall of the carriage and said in a long tone: "He is still a single person, has no children under his knees, and has never married. In this life, I want to live comfortably and steadily, and I don't want to have other variables. This cold period is prolonged, and Lao Zhao is afraid that he is very worried. There are a lot more gray hairs, and they look older. β
"It turned out to be a year-old friend. Yuzhongge said softly.
Xu Yunshen smiled and nodded.
He touched Huahua's head and said, "Huahua, you have to remember that all beings are equal. β
"All beings are equal?"
Although Huahua is precocious, the concept of a special one is still a little unfamiliar to her.
The carriage shook, and many phantoms were reflected on the faces and bodies of the adults.
One flower after another changed, and only one sentence lingered in my ear: "Regardless of origin, everyone is equal." β
I don't know what kind of seed this sentence will plant in her heart.
The horse neighed high.
The Royal Palace, arrived.
