Time is like an arrow, and in a trance, winter has gone to spring, and the earth has recovered.

Jiankang City, Qichun Building back garden.

Zhang Seng squinted and lay on the recliner, bathed in the warm glow of spring, with a lazy and extremely enjoyable expression.

It's a pity that the wrinkles between his eyebrows deepened, and the hoarfrost on his sideburns became more and more delayed, making his complexion look worse day by day, and scattered old age spots quietly appeared in the hidden places under his neck.

Zhang Lihua sat at the stone table in the flower garden, looking listless, holding a pink flower, tearing off the petals and throwing them away, while whispering angrily: "Let you not come back in winter...... So that you don't come back for the New Year......"

Zhang Seng turned a blind eye to her childlike attitude on the surface, and listened to it, but he laughed in his heart, and secretly sighed: Young man......

Zhang Lifang Yingying approached, as a person who came over, how could she not know the reason why her daughter was depressed, and helplessly persuaded: "Okay, grandpa's ears are calloused......

An excellent man, when he is young, is easy to provoke crazy bees, waves, butterflies outside, and he can't help but pick up flowers, but as long as you are waiting silently and leaving him a warm home from beginning to end, he will always come back to you......"

"Really......" Zhang Lihua was skeptical, suddenly rolled her eyes, and asked: "Mother, in this way, when my father went out to pick up **flowers**provoke**grass, you did this?"

Did he finally come back to you?"

Zhang Lifang crossed her hands on her hips and said disdainfully: "When your father was alive, he wanted to go to the **flower**provoke**grass, but does he have the guts? Hmph......"

Zhang Lihua was dumbfounded. Speechless for a moment.

Zhang Lifang suddenly reacted. Secret gaffes. Jiao smiled and disguised: "Just kidding, don't take it seriously......"

Zhang Lihua turned a deaf ear, gradually frowned, and her beautiful eyes flashed with memory.

Zhang Lifang secretly said that it was not good, but when she saw Zhang Lihua suddenly slap her palm, she suddenly exclaimed: "I remembered!"

Mother, in the past, some stinky men came to Qichun Lou to find **joy** and have fun, and chased the tigress at home. It's a lot of trouble, and you're fooling that tigress with those words just now!"

Zhang Lifang looked embarrassed, only covered her lips and laughed twice, exuding a mature **style** charm.

On the other side, Zhang Seng Miao couldn't help but laugh, and then coughed non-stop, shortness of breath, Zhang Lifang hurriedly went over to help him up, patted him on the vest, and inadvertently showed a trace of worry in his eyes.

It seems that Zhang Seng is such a person with profound internal skills. If it weren't for the end of life, the spirit would gradually dry up and shrink. It will never appear like that of an old and frail person.

Zhang Lihua didn't pay attention to this, and said to herself, "Okay, I said why don't you come back for the New Year in winter and spring, it turns out that you are stuck in a building and forget to return!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Lihua suddenly raised her willow eyebrows and gritted her teeth, "Hmph, you wait for your aunt!" Intentionally or unintentionally, she crumpled the flower in her hand into scum.

..................................................................................................................

"Ahh......h Who misses me?"

Shi Zhixuan covered his mouth and yawned, rubbed his nose, and twisted his waist again, feeling quite refreshed.

After a "night" of sleep and strenuous exercise, the sequelae of backache and weak legs have all disappeared under the essence essence and super resilience of the transcendent sanctification of the physical body.

Looking up, the sun was hanging high in the sky.

"Hey, it's three poles on the sun...... It's all because the atmosphere of the Northern Qi is not good, and it has brought me badly, otherwise how could this young master be wise and martial, how could he fall into the legendary 'Hero's Tomb'......"

Muttering, Shi Zhixuan's right hand shook, the folding fan "poof" unfolded, swaying gently, with a royal blue embroidered Shu brocade gown, the prince of the scholar clan was full of style, Shi Shiran walked out of the gate of Lu Lingxuan's dormitory, and turned out of the palace.

From afar, Mu Tiva seemed to have something important, and hurried to Lu Lingxuan's bedroom, inadvertently caught a glimpse of Shi Zhixuan, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, his expression was quite embarrassed, and he no longer had the eagerness he had when he first met in winter.

Shi Zhixuan knew the reason for his reaction, and greeted him calmly: "Morning, the king of Yangcheng County......"

Mu Tiva looked up at the sun, and responded with a smile: "Morning pavilion master!"

Shi Zhixuan smiled and left by himself.

Mu Tiva's face suddenly became gloomy, and anyone who suddenly had a "stepfather" who was more than ten years younger than himself would not be in a good mood, let alone a good face.

In particular, he saw again and again that this hairy boy "stepfather" stayed in his mother's room and did not come out until noon the next day, and that feeling was ...... It's so sour!

Although Mu Ti Po is not Lu Lingxuan's biological son, it was Lu Lingxuan who raised him from an infant baby, and the relationship between mother and son is as deep as her own child.

Even later, he vaguely guessed that the reason why Lu Lingxuan raised him wholeheartedly seemed to be to try to train herself to be the best wet nurse, to accumulate experience in raising Gao Wei, the 'child emperor', and use it as a step forward.

But Mu Tiva did not have any knots about Lu Lingxuan because of this, no matter what Lu Lingxuan's original intentions were, she fulfilled her responsibility as a qualified mother to him, or even won it.

On the contrary, because Lu Lingxuan raised two children in a row, she unconsciously gradually washed away the poisonous and mysterious demon atmosphere on her body, cleaned herself up, faintly broke the shackles of her own magic skills, and broke through to the level of grandmaster.

Even her magical charm has been transformed into a unique temperament like a strong mother's love, giving people a 'mother's taste', which makes Mutiva deeply intoxicated, and she is willing to be born and die for her, without regrets.

However, what Mu Tipo didn't expect was that Lu Lingxuan, in order to win over the new Heaven Replenishing Pavilion Master last winter, often asked him to talk secretly......

If Lu Lingxuan is just looking for a young and handsome ordinary face, she will give up!

At most, Mu Ti Po admits that she is unlucky, and she has many godfathers, and she is embarrassed to meet every day.

But what really worries him is. This Heaven Replenishing Pavilion Lord is clearly a veteran. And he has a plot against the Yin Sect. It is likely that Lu Lingxuan will be deceived and used in this way......

At the thought of this, Mutipa felt a faint pain in her heart, and she had no choice but to swear secretly: If your mother really does you a good evil, I will not let you go!

..................

At lunchtime, Shi Zhixuan appeared at Liu Taozhi's house on time and sat unceremoniously across the table from the host's house.

From ancient times to the present, the throne has changed. All of them are accompanied by bloody killings, but there is a saying that once the son of heaven and a courtier.

In the Northern Qi Dynasty, only Liu Taozhi was an exception, and he successively served Gao Huan, Gao Cheng, Gao Yang, Gao Yan, Gao Zhan, and Gao Wei, the monarchs of the past dynasties, and they have always been honored and favored, and they can be called evergreens in the court.

But unlike the imagination of the vast majority of the Northern Qi magnates, or even the vast majority of the elders of the Demon Sect who live a well-educated life, Liu Taozhi is not arrogant and extravagant.

At this moment, there are only seven exquisite dishes on the mahogany table in the shape of snowflakes, except for the common three meat and three vegetarian dishes. Only the soft-shelled turtle soup in the middle is slightly precious, plus a pot of nectar fruit stuffed.

Such regulations. In the ordinary people's homes, they are quite extravagant, but in the environment of Liu Taozhi's status as a powerful person, as well as the poverty and luxury of the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty, although the chef is very attentive, it can only be regarded as simple and simple.

However, Shi Zhixuan can also clearly feel that Liu Taozhi's diet is simple and nutritious, precisely to maintain longevity.

After all, in terms of age and generation, Liu Taozhi is over eighty years old this year, and he is second only to Xiang Yutian in the Demon Gate, and half a generation higher than Lou Zhaojun, Zhang Seng and others.

It's a pity that no matter how high-spirited Liu Taozhi was when he was young, he couldn't live forever, but after years of peeling and peeling the bones of the pig-killing knife, he finally gradually entered the twilight and his ambition was extinguished.

With the profound skills of the Grandmaster's high level, if he persists in such a plain health, he can still live for more than ten years and live more than 100 years old, otherwise, if he indulges in wine like the emperor and magnates of the Northern Qi Dynasty, I am afraid he will be sad to pass the ninety level!

However, as soon as he thought of his absurd life today, Shi Zhixuan thought to himself that he was not qualified to despise the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty...... Well, young man, you're angry, ahem!

Of course, the reason why he values Liu Taozhi is precisely because Liu Taozhi has successively served the monarchs of Gao Huan, Gao Cheng, Gao Yang, Gao Yan, Gao Zhan, and Gao Wei, and has witnessed how the Northern Qi Dynasty has grown from weak to strong, and then from prosperity to decay, and even the death of the country today.

It can be said that you can see all the power, fame and fortune, and the prosperous floating world!

Naturally, Liu Taozhi's heart has already subtly undergone a huge change, and unconsciously there is a sign of entering the Tao from the devil.

Because of this, when others look at Liu Taozhi's appearance, they always think that he is handsome, but he has a scruffy beard, inexplicable vicissitudes in his eyes, and is a decadent uncle, with an indifferent personality and a cold attitude.

As everyone knows, he is already half a man outside the world!

However, after all, Liu Taozhi was born in the Demon Gate, and helped Gao Huan to open up the foundation of the Northern Qi Dynasty, there are still many karma here, and he has not let go, and there is a lack of guidance from a Taoist and Buddha master, and his process of 'entering the Tao from the devil' stumbles after all, ignorant and ignorant, and a little nondescript, not dry.

From the professional perspective of cultivation, that is, Liu Taozhi's state of mind and cultivation have initially broken away from the narrow, extreme, and even dark and chaotic concepts and beliefs of the inherent demon gate, and shattered the demonic thoughts, but he has not been able to form a complete and rigorous, upright and deep lofty Dao heart or Zen heart, and is in a period of confusion and decadence that has not been established.

It is the Tao and Buddha who love the most, and it is also the most suitable for the degree-oriented 'idiot', also known as the 'lost lamb'......

Once he has been 'enlightened' by the masters, he has been completely broken and then established, and his Dao heart is stable, but he can ......

In fact, these are not the conclusions that Shi Zhixuan took for granted with a pat on the head.

But since last year's autumn in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he and Liu Taozhi fought and contacted twice, and after having a preliminary understanding of it, he temporarily stayed in Yecheng, the capital of Qi, and in the two or three months since the winter went to spring, he has been in close contact with Liu Taozhi, and the accurate judgment obtained from repeated observations!

Liu Taozhi didn't know that his old bottom was clear to the "junior Junjie" of the Holy Gate in front of him, and he secretly calculated by himself, at this time, he saw Shi Zhixuan sitting down opposite, and raised the wine jug without saying a word as before, intending to pour him wine.

Shi Zhixuan hurriedly picked up the wine glass, leaned three inches below the wine jug, and steadily caught the clear honey-colored fruit brew pouring down from the spout.

Floral and dense aromas, as well as fruity notes of pineapple and orange, combine to create a strange and charming sweet fragrance. (To be continued.) )
