Chapter 69, see Fenyang again
[The fifteenth day of the first month of the tenth year of Daqian Jingyi, the time of Xu, the hazelnut of the Xu house]
On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Shangyuan Festival, the bright moon is bright, the moon is like water, Xu Ke and the four women gathered in their own back garden to enjoy the moon, but the cloud shadow beads in their arms suddenly emitted a bright light. All the women knew that Xu Ke had really come through time and space, and at this time, they heard the human voice in the beads, and they all knew that it was time for Xu Ke to return.
Although there is a parting in the end, since they have crossed over, and when the time comes, they should return to his original time and space, however, the hearts of several women are still full of reluctance......
Xu Ke's mood at this time was also unusually contradictory, according to his original plan, after seeing the unrecognizable world ten years later, he returned to the original time and space, and tried every means to change it, in order to avoid such a catastrophe.
However, after spending nearly two months in this demonic world, he developed a different kind of attachment to his current life. He only felt that with such four strange women by his side, he could have such a warm and calm feeling every day, even if the world became dark and chaotic, it was not too bad......
At this time, seeing that the four women were so reluctant to give up on him, Xu Ke immediately made up his mind, even though Yun Yingzhu had recovered his spiritual power, he still ...... Don't go!
The world is so unbearable, survival is so difficult, without their own company, how can they face the next challenges?
......
That night, in Hu Yiyi's room, after the two of them had a warm stay, they each lay on their backs on the bed and looked at the bright moonlight outside the window. Hu Yiyi asked faintly:
"Xiao Wuxi, are you really not leaving?"
"Don't go, Yiyi!"
"But...... After all, you have traveled back in time, the world that should have been ten years ago. Can you really stay here forever?"
No matter how long I stay in the Divine King's Pavilion, the day I leave the Pavilion will always be the time to enter the Pavilion. So, you don't have to worry, no matter how long I stay here, when I return to the Divine King Pavilion, it will still be the same day ten years ago. ”
"In the Divine King Pavilion, is it really so magical?"
"Yes, in the Pavilion of the God King, time stands still. In other words, I can stay here for as long as I want, and it won't affect my original world......"
"But, Xiao Wuxi, in today's demonic world, life is so difficult, is it too aggrieved for you to accompany us to suffer every day?"
"Yiyi, what are you talking about! It is precisely because life is so difficult that I have to face it with you! I believe that the world will not be so dark forever, and mankind will always usher in hope......
"That'...... As you say, you can stay with us as long as you want until we all grow old?"
"That's right, when you're all old, you're all ...... At that time, when I went back, the time was still February 22, the 71st year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty. No matter what happens to me here, all of this will not affect my original plane in the slightest!"
......
Hu Yiyi closed her eyes and thought for a moment, as if she suddenly thought of something in her heart, and immediately raised her white arm as thin as a lotus root, gently slapped Xu Ke's chest, and said coquettishly:
"I hate it! You're good! I'm a time-traveler, no matter what time it is, my face will always be so young. But we will all grow old, and by that time, we will all be old women, and you will still be a handsome young man......! But it's so unfair!"
"This ......" Xu Ke at this time hugged Hu Yiyi's soft body tightly and whispered softly in her ear:
"Don't worry, Yiyi, no matter what you look like when you get old, you will always be a child in my heart......"
"Hmm......! You're so good!" Hu Yiyi buried her head deep in Xu Ke's broad chest, and her pretty face was full of shyness. That kind of shyness is almost the purest, most moving, and happiest expression in the world......
At this time, the bright moon had slowly set westward, and the moonlight had gradually dimmed. It seems that even the fairy in the Moon Palace was moved by the scene in this room, and couldn't help but bow her head.
......
The night has passed.
At the end of the next day, before Xu Ke got up, another team of guards came into Xu's house. They said that in the name of the emperor, they sent a batch of supplies to the lord of Xucheng. In addition to moving dozens of pockets into Xu's house, these people also brought more than a dozen masons.
The dozen or so masons were all skilled craftsmen, and they had been working in the palace until then, specializing in the restoration of the houses and terraces in the Xingqing Palace. On this day, he also got the emperor's order to rebuild his former mansion for Xu Ke.
The captain of the guard said goodbye to Hu Yiyi and led the soldiers to leave. The dozen or so masons brought their own tools and got busy. When the women saw that the mason had come to the house, their hearts were filled with joy. Only because of this time in Chang'an City, houses were being rebuilt everywhere, and this mason was the most scarce type of work. Usually, Yiqing and the others wanted to hire a mason to come over and repair the corridor in the front yard, but they couldn't hire anyone. I don't want to, more than ten people came here in one go, and they are all old craftsmen who have been working for more than ten years.
At that moment, Hu Yiyi instructed the masons to start by repairing the wall. In such a big house, almost all the walls on all sides have collapsed, and several women live in it, after all, it is very inconvenient. If the walls and gatehouse had to be repaired first, it would have looked like a mansion......
The craftsmen were instructed to take their tools, take materials from the spot, and gather materials from the waste soil and rubble, and they all went about their jobs. In the entire Xu house, there was already a sound of "listening to the order" everywhere. Xu Ke was going to sleep again, but he had no choice but to get up.
Xu Ke saw this lively scene in his house, and he also felt strange in his heart. However, Hu Yiyi, in front of everyone, praised Xu Ke again, saying that he killed the Golden-winged Demon King yesterday and saved the emperor's life. Today, the emperor repaid his kindness and sent a large number of masons.
Xu Ke and the women had breakfast, Yiqing was going out hunting, and this time, Xu Ke was going to follow. Now among the five people in this house, only Yiqing and Xu Ke can go out of the city to sweep away the demonic beasts with their own kung fu. See Xu Ke
insisted on accompanying each other, Yiqing "hummed", and let him ......
Yiqing said, the monsters around the Bashan Mountain in the north are vicious, often in groups, and the monsters in the south are relatively weak, all of which are three big black wolves, black bear monsters, two-headed pythons and the like, which are easy to fight. Xu Ke followed Yiqing out of the south gate, and the two went all the way to the south.
On this day, the two searched for more than 100 miles, but they couldn't find some magical beasts with better meat. In desperation, they beat a three-headed black wolf, put it in the carriage and transported it back. Although the flesh of the three big black wolves is average, fortunately, the skin is coarse and thick, and it can make a thick blanket just by its fur.
When Xu Ke and Yiqing returned to Xu's house, it was already evening. Yao Zibei and Murong Yan had already prepared dinner, and the five of them were still sitting around in the Wenyu Pavilion, gathering to drink and eat.
......
Time flies, and another ten days have passed.
In the past ten days, Xu Ke has gone out with Yiqing every morning after getting up early. When they saw that the meat in their house was very abundant, they thought about killing some rare horned red-haired monsters. Although the flesh of the red-haired monster was hard to swallow, its internal organs were all excellent medicinal herbs. The long-horned essence on the top of the head greatly replenishes the Yuanyang, and the red-haired bile in the abdomen has a warm taste and can resist the cold. The rest of the heart, liver, spleen and stomach are all sought-after goods in the East Market.
Yiqing has the help of flying swords, and almost every other day, he can hit a long-horned red-haired monster. They dragged the red-haired monster to the East Market and sold it, often in exchange for large sums of silver.
The dozen or so masons sent by the emperor still came to work early every morning and did not return home until the time of the unitary. Seeing that they were all poor people, Hu Yiyi distributed a large number of pieces of meat from the family's stockpile. The craftsmen got Hu Yiyi's food, and they were all grateful, and they worked even harder.
Every two to three days, Emperor Jingyi, who was under the Great Qian, would send a team of guards to bring all kinds of supplies, including food, clothing, stones, earth, wood, iron, and all kinds of decorations...... There are all kinds of things. And every time the guards sent more than a dozen pockets, Hu Yiyi also accepted them all and unceremoniously.
In the past ten days, every night, Xu Ke has also stayed in Hu Yiyi's room. Over time, even Hu Yiyi herself couldn't help but feel strange in her heart. She asked Xu Ke, why don't you go to Xiao Yan's room?
But every time Hu Yiyi asked, Xu Ke scratched his forehead and talked about him left and right. One night, Hu Yiyi couldn't hold back anymore, and couldn't help but "quarrel" with Xu Ke loudly:
Hu Yiyi: "Sister Yiqing is right! You are really sick wood! We have married Sister Xiaoyan to you, she is your wife! How can you let Sister Xiaoyan stay alone in the empty room every night? You ...... What the hell is going on in your head? Is it really a lump of wood in there?"
Xu Ke: "This ......"
Hu Yiyi: "What is this! This matter is not negotiable! What a good girl Xiao Yan's sister is! She is a daughter of Tianbao Pavilion, she likes you so much, she is willing to follow you, but you treat others so slowly!"
Xu Ke: "Good sister, I'm ...... I didn't slow her down!"
Hu Yiyi: "What's good, what's good! If you don't go to Xiao Yan's place tonight, my sister won't let you live here! Believe it or not, I'll kick you over!"
Xu Ke: "......"
Hu Yiyi: "Okay, my good little boy is not sick!Can you ...... Listen to my sister once! In the past, the room in Xuchang City was really simple, but now, the big room in Honghu's residence is very spacious! Aren't you and Sister Xiaoyan just right? Good ...... Let's go!"
Xu Ke: "But, Sister Hu, I still don't want to go!"
Hu Yiyi: "Xiao Wuxi, sister, I told you! Today's Emperor Jingyi, he has always remembered our Xiao Yan in his heart! If you are so cold to Xiao Yan again, in the future, if Xiao Yan enters the gate of Xingqing Palace one day, don't blame your sister for not reminding you!"
Xu Ke shook his head: "No!"
Hu Yiyi couldn't cry or laugh: "How do you know that you won't! My little disease is free! Xiao Yan is already thirty this year! Once a woman is over thirty, she will slowly grow old! Xiao Yan is still young now, right now, she is by your side, you ...... You don't want to be married to her, but you don't know what you're thinking about......! Have you failed her infatuation with you?!"
Xu Ke still shook his head: "......"
Hu Yiyi almost cried: "I said Xiao Wuxi, why are you doing this?"
Xu Ke lowered his head: "'He'...... Aren't you going to come back?"
Hu Yiyi: "Which 'he'?"
Xu Ke: "Of course it is...... The 'me' of this world!"
Hu Yiyi seemed to suddenly realize, and her face suddenly turned into a smile: "What am I saying for? It turns out that you are jealous of 'yourself'...... You don't have to think about it, the 'you' in this world won't come back!"
Xu Ke couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "The 'I' of this world won't come back?
Hu Yiyi: "It's 'you' who said it yourself, as soon as you enter the heavenly court, you will automatically be listed as an immortal, and from then on, you will become an immortal, naturally, you will not fall into the mortal ...... again."
Xu Ke shook his head: "I don't believe it! Even if he is already in the immortal class, how can he abandon you and ignore you and never enter the mortal world? On the contrary, if he has really become an immortal and has the magic power to travel the clouds and rain in his hands, he should descend from the clouds to rescue you! How can he ......?"
Hu Yiyi: "Perhaps, there is some other reason......! If you really don't want to go to Honghu Residence, then it's up to you! I'm sleepy......"
Unexpectedly, in the end, it became Hu Yiyi's "talking about him left and right......
Xu Ke was still about to ask, but saw that Hu Yiyi had fallen asleep, she covered her head and face with a quilt, and pretended to make an even sound of sleep.
Xu Ke shook his head, so he had to lie down together, and the two of them fell asleep.
Unexpectedly, not long after sleeping, the blue wave fairy Hu Yiyi suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up. She twisted Xu Ke's ears hard, and said coquettishly:
"Okay, you little conscienceless! You said that the 'yourself' of this world will come back, because you refused to touch Xiao Yan's sister's body. But you suddenly hugged me that day, no
Regardless of the ...... with me What's going on?!Do you think that for 'you' in this world, Xiao Yan is 'your' wife, and I'm not 'your' wife, right?"
One of Xu Ke's right ears has been twisted red by Hu Yiyi, in addition to the right ear being twisted red, the whole face has also been red with shame at this time. He hurriedly bowed his hand and begged for mercy repeatedly:
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Yiyi, Niangzi, Hu Niangzi, be merciful, Wanwang will be merciful!"
Hu Yiyi continued to twist hard, and said with a smile: "Call sister!"
"Good sister, good sister, dear sister, my best Sister Hu, little kiss!" Xu Ke's ears hurt so much that he couldn't pour out all the good words.
Hu Yiyi still didn't give up: "Say, why are you doing this?"
Xu Ke finally endured the pain and said, "That's because, it's because of ...... I like you!"
Others are "spitting the truth after drinking", but Xu Ke is "spitting the truth after pain" at this time.
Hu Yiyi was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then her face was full of joy and shyness, and it was not until this moment that she finally let go of her hand and lay down satisfied.
......
......
Ten days later, one morning, Emperor Li Xi sent someone to deliver several large bags of supplies. It's just that this time there was something in the materials that made Xu Ke's eyes can't help but glow with a strange light.
The captain of the guard, who came on the orders of the emperor, held a wine jug in both hands and respectfully handed it to Xu Ke's hand. Xu Ke couldn't help but exclaim: "This ...... This is 'Fenyang drunk'?!"
The captain of the guard nodded and said: "City Lord Xu really has good eyesight, this is a pot of forty-year-old 'Fenyang drunk'! Now, such a good wine is not to be said to be ordinary people, even in the entire palace, there are only a few pots left!"
Xu Ke said: "This ...... What's so embarrassing about that?"
The captain of the guard arched his hand and said: "The emperor himself said that the world's fine wine is only worthy of a hero like the city lord of Xu, even if there is only a pot of Fenyang left in the palace, it must be given to the city lord!"
Xu Ke hurriedly returned the salute and said: "The emperor is so kind, how can Xu repay him?"
For Xu Ke today, he can push away any other object, and this pot of "Fenyang drunk" alone is something he can't refuse no matter what. In this world, he can't remember how many days he hasn't drunk wine, not to mention that today's emperor sent a pot of Fenyang, which he loves to drink.
The captain of the guard saluted again and said: "The emperor ordered the villain to spread the word, saying that if the city lord of Xu has leisure, please go to Xingqing Palace and sit down!"
"Okay!" At this time, Xu Ke didn't need the other party to say that he already knew that Emperor Li Ci was going to invite him into the palace, and the things to be discussed in the palace were roughly clear in his heart.
In the past 10 days, Li Xi has given him gifts and sent more than a dozen of the most scarce masons to repair his house.
At that moment, he said a few words to Hu Yiyi and others, and Hu Yiyi solemnly told him again. followed the captain of the guard out of the house, and the group went straight to Xingqing Palace.
Xingqing Palace is located in the northeast of Chang'an City, which is a hidden residence where Li Chongsheng, the Qiansheng Sect, lived. Later, after the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he expanded his palace and transformed it into a spacious and gorgeous palace, called "Xingqing Palace". However, most of the time the Emperor Shengzong lived in the Daming Palace in the northeast of the imperial city, after all, the Xingqing Palace is not a big place, and the scale is far less than the grandeur of the Daming Palace. In today's demonic world, Chang'an City was burned down after the earthquake. After Li Xi ascended the throne as emperor, he did not adopt the proposal of the eldest grandson, Prime Minister Cheng and others, and rebuilt the Daming Palace. In order to save manpower and material resources, he abandoned the Daming Palace and chose to use the Xingqing Palace as his new palace after a slight renovation.
The captain of the guard led a team of soldiers, surrounded Xu Ke, and after turning a few streets, he came to the gate of Xingqing Palace. Xu Ke saw that the so-called "palace" in everyone's mouth was just a slightly larger mansion. The periphery of the palace is simply built a few walls, the wall is not high, and the wall is not painted with red paint, if it is not for this piece of vermilion lacquer plaque hanging in front of the door, there are three words of "Xingqing Palace" written on it. Xu Ke thought that he had just walked to an ordinary big family.
The captain of the guard said a few words loudly to the soldiers guarding the door, and the person guarding the door did not wait to enter to report, so he opened the palace gate and let the captain of the guard lead Xu Ke inside.
Xu Ke stepped into the palace, only to see dozens of houses of different sizes built in a staggered manner, and the trail in the middle was also smooth. In addition, there are no flowers and plants, and there are no rockery pools in sight, and it is still a desolate and dilapidated scene as far as the eye can see.
The captain of the guard took Xu Ke to a big house, and after he entered first, he respectfully invited Xu Ke in.
That big house, about three zhang wide, is almost the most spacious house built in Chang'an at the moment. Xu Ke looked up and saw a gold lacquer plaque hanging high on the roof, with the word "Zichen" written on it. Xu Ke strode into this "Zichen Palace" and saw two people sitting upright inside. A person sitting in the center with his head up, it is the current emperor Li Xi. The other person sat cross-legged next to Li Ci, and Xu Ke saw that the man was less than forty years old, wearing a green robe and holding a folding fan in his hand......
"City Lord Xu is here! Please sit here!" Li Ci saw Xu Ke entering, and actually got up to greet him.
"Xu Ke has seen Your Majesty!" Xu Ke leaned over and saluted.
According to the court etiquette ten years ago, when he faced the saint in the main hall, he had to kneel three times and bow nine times, shouting long live. However, in this demonic world, everything is naturally simple, and Xu Ke saw that the emperor did not treat him as an outsider, so he was happy to obey......
After Xu Ke sat down on the right side of Li Ci, he heard the person holding the folding fan in his hand, and suddenly smiled at him:
"Master Xu, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come here to be harmed, right?"
Xu Ke couldn't help but look at the blue-robed man in front of him, only to see that the man was a little thin, but his appearance was very handsome. He only felt that there was a vague familiarity between the man's eyebrows, and after a little thought, he immediately exclaimed:
"Brother He Mao, it turned out to be you!"
