Bone

Chapter 123

The sun is shining, and the spots of light in the wind sometimes gather and sometimes disperse, undulating among the clouds, and drifting away to the distance without haste.

It can be said that he was enjoying the feeling of the breeze blowing on his face comfortably, Sanjiu clasped one hand on the neck of the fairy, and looked down at the majestic palace gradually moving away, until it turned into a fine point.

Successfully persuaded the emperor to build a temple for the ghost king, which couldn't be better, but he was still a little worried, and asked Tan Fengyue with a puffy face: "Obviously the fairy king is now a fairy, what's so difficult about waving his hands to build a temple? I have to trust the dog emperor..."

Just in time to poke his bulging cheeks with fingertips, intercepting his swearing, Tan Fengyue pursed her lips slightly, and said with a smile: "Are you really omnipotent like a fairy?"

Sanjiu's cheek was sunken by his poking, almost biting his tongue, and he said blankly, "Ah..."

Knowing that this brat was also attached to Qin Nianjiu, Tan Fengyue twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, and it was rare to patiently explain his doubts: "If you really want to borrow the wind to build the palace, it's not difficult, but it's inevitable setbacks and more time-consuming. Inevitably, some unpredictable causes and effects will be involved...

"Besides, for the common people, the Emperor is supreme and has prestige...

"Furthermore, if the emperor's body is healthy, the country will be safe, and if the country is safe, the people will be safe. If such a great merit can be recorded on your head, why not do it?—"

Hearing Xu Xu's explanation of many reasons, Sanjiu nodded in a dazed manner, and then said after a while: "But, but will he really listen to us and order someone to build that hall?"

"Of course." Tan Fengyue replied lightly, "He regards the throne above all else, but if he is dead, what will he use to sit in this position."

Sanjiu gave a half-understood voice, although he knew that Xianjun was thoughtful and would not do anything uncertain, but he still had 12 points of distrust for Ji Zhuoran, and couldn't help but said: "Then he must If you get angry, why don’t you build it?”

"Hmm." Tan Fengyue didn't think at all, the expression on his face was still calm, "If it's a big deal, I'll make another trip."

Easily seeing the chill in his eyes, Sanjiu shuddered silently, and finally felt relieved.

It's just that his mouth can't stay idle, he pondered for a while in silence, and then asked another question: "Then--the face has been torn, why does he pretend to ask about Fu Duanshui's recent situation... Could it be that he is not dead-hearted, Still thinking about sending someone to hunt him down?"

Thinking of the startled expression on Ji Zhuoran's face just now, Tan Fengyue habitually curled the corners of her mouth slightly, but the irony in her eyes was cold: "He is too busy to take care of himself now, how can he have the spare time to take care of the sect's affairs."

He said again: "Probably because of sincere concern. After all, people are no more unintentional than grass and trees. After all, the two of them have been friends for so many years, and they were once close friends."

Having been friends for many years and being close friends, didn't you hesitate when it was time to act?Sanjiu curled her lips in disdain, full of disapproval: "Hmph, I see him as hypocrisy—"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He hooked Xianjun's neck, shook his head and made a comment: "I can see clearly along the way, there are still many people who are hypocritical, and few who value love and righteousness— — Ha! It’s a pity that I died before I had been a person for many years, otherwise I don’t know what I will look like!”

this kid...

From the first acquaintance, I didn't know a single character, and now I can still use a few idioms.Tan Fengyue thought it was funny, and didn't deny his statement, just knocked on his forehead lightly with the silver fan, then hugged him, and fell into the cloud with the wind.

"Wow!--"

Suddenly weightless, the scenery in front of him was even more blurred, Sanjiu burst into dizziness, blurted out a scream, hugged Tan Fengyue's arm tightly, and followed him step by step down the wind in a daze, until he landed on the ground.

I thought that Sanjiu was originally a ghost building, without substance, but I was frightened by Xianjun's deliberate teasing of him, and I felt that my legs went limp, and I stared at Tan Fengyue full of resentment: "Xianjun, you... ..."

Suddenly, I heard Tan Fengyue slowly say: "The talisman has been destroyed, and you are no longer bound, you don't have to stay by my side all the time—"

At first, I thought Xianjun was about to abandon me, but Sanjiu's eyes widened in an instant, and he became anxious, and then he continued: "You can walk around by yourself and meet old friends... just treat it as a relaxation. .”

Sanjiu was taken aback when he heard that: ...meet an old friend?

He originally thought that they should go straight to Qingyuan this time, but when the feeling of weightlessness in his heart faded away, he belatedly saw the clear scene in front of him again, and couldn't help being stunned again—— It turned out to be Qinyuan.

One is that there is something to do, and the other is that Qingyuan has already been destroyed. If I go back directly, I am afraid that this little devil will feel sad. Tan Fengyue slightly curled his lips and patted Sanjiu's head: "I will come when I am done. Looking for you."

Although he didn't listen to Xianjun's words, he could faintly feel the concern in his words... Sanjiu's heart was touched, and he stared blankly at him for a while as if he didn't know him, then he boldly took his hand and held it in his heart. With a sticker on his cheek, he grinned and said, "Then I'll go shopping around!"

After a long absence, he showed a lively appearance. He tilted his head and asked, "What about you, Xianjun, where are you going?"

Most of the houses in Qinyuan Street are low and low, and can be seen at a glance.Tan Fengyue let the kid hold her hand, and gestured to the conspicuous cornices and brackets in the distance, "There."

It was no different from the last time I came here. The temple in front of me still had the look of high eaves, wide eaves and high animal heads. Stepping into the gate of the temple, the inside was still grand and open, and the incense was flourishing.

It's just different from the last time I came here. Thousands of god statues were stacked in front of me, but the statue engraved with the four characters "Jiuling Tianzun" was moved to the front, and the front of the stage was filled with lotus lamps, blooming flowers and fresh fruits .

Today is not the first day of the lunar new year, nor is it the fifteenth day, and it is almost noon, it is not an auspicious time to visit, there are only a few pilgrims in the hall, and Tan Fengyue passed by in twos and threes, and he was not seen.

Throughout the hall, the pilgrims moved, the ever-burning lamps moved, and the spirit flags on the beams moved, but Tan Fengyue just stood quietly in the middle of the hall with his hands down, looking up at the majestic and angry statue of Jiu Lingtian, silent.

The underworld ghost messenger said that he still has 20 years... but 20 years?How could he wait!Calmness and indifference are just appearances, and now only nearly 20 days have passed, and he is almost anxious to death.

After visiting Ji Zhuoran, he came to Qinyuan again——Qinyuan Town is the closest to Qingyuan. He came this time to create some "miracles" and teach the townspeople to believe that Jiuling Tianzun has a spirit. He offered a lot of incense, but he didn't expect that the kind-hearted man at that time insisted on pulling him to do good deeds, such as catching kidnappers in Qinyuan, exploring "ghost towns", and creating dreams for the Luo family. Recorded on "Jiuling Tianzun"——

I accidentally planted willows, but now the willows have become shades.

A pair of light golden eyes reflected the rich incense smoke in the statue of Jiuling Tianzun, faint and spiritual, and the corners of Tan Fengyue's mouth were curved, and the emotions in his eyes were extremely soft.

Beside him, I could vaguely hear a pilgrim kneeling on the futon, lowly reporting his name and address to the statues of the gods, and praying sincerely: "...help the dog to get a good name..."

"Help my little girl find a good match..."

"May my family be safe and successful..."

This is what the world wishes for.

——It’s just that there are thousands of wishes in the world, how many of them can really be fulfilled?

With a deep pain in her heart, Tan Fengyue finally came back to her senses, walked forward, knelt on the futon in front of the statue of Jiuling Tianzun, and took off the amber that she had been wearing close to her neck.

The amber was reddish-yellow in color, semi-transparent, slightly warmed by his body temperature, lying quietly in the palm of his hand, as if he was holding a heart.

Tan Fengyue lowered her eyes and looked at the grayish whiteness in the amber, she pursed her lips slightly, thinking——

Suddenly, the wind trickled in from the door, the window, and the gaps, gently covering the amber, and then scattered it in an instant, scraping off its translucent red-yellow shell, revealing the inside of the amber. A phalanx.

That man's hands used to be so beautiful, with slender fingers and well-proportioned joints, like fat jade.He once used such hands to hold a sword and play the qin to cast a silver spiritual fan for him...

Couldn't bear to look at the joints, Tan Fengyue pursed her lips even tighter, she seemed to calmly put her other hand on the phalanx, and the golden-red light hidden in the sleeve cautiously protruded from his cuff half of.

Still feeling a little overwhelmed, the light ball paused for a moment, then tentatively surged a few inches forward along his arm, and then shrank sharply when it was about to touch the joint, as if quite flustered, I'm going to hide in the sleeve in a hurry——

However, it seemed that an irresistible force grabbed it, kneaded it into a little bit of golden halo, and pulled it towards the joint.

Bits of golden halo slid down the back of Tan Fengyue's hand like flowing water, flowed between his fingers, and slowly submerged that pale finger bone.

The withered knuckles touched the golden streamer at the first touch, and they suddenly dissipated into specks of spiritual light, intersecting with the golden light and blending into one.

The light group condensed back into one body again, and the intertwined golden and red rays of light became more intense, rolling in the palm like a soft and lukewarm flame.

Seeming to be more alive than before, the light ball couldn't stop struggling, bumping into the five fingers that were clasping his own, and suddenly fell silent, and gently tapped Tan Fengyue's palm as if pleading.

Unable to understand the purpose of this move, Tan Fengyue suppressed the pain in her heart again, looked at the golden-red light ball in her palm, which was devoid of sanity and only had instinct, and sighed faintly, as light as the breath of wind.

not afraid.The bone has melted back, and when he returns to Qingyuan, he can take blood to fuse again to recall his heart and soul...

The gentle breeze flicked the lamps all over the hall brighter without any trace.His face was still calm, and there was no wave in his eyes. He only held the ball of light in his hand and knelt a little more straight.

With great reverence, he closed his eyes and folded his hands together, and said softly, "Xiaoxian Tanjun... Xiaoxian Tanfengyue, his home is in Qingyuan. I hope that God will bless and bless the one I love, and come back as soon as possible..."

The pilgrims around were still acting on their own, lighting lamps, offering incense, or praying. No one saw the golden light surging in the hall, and no one knew that there was an immortal kneeling in the hall, soaked in tears and praying with all his heart.

……

I can’t quite remember the last time I walked alone on the street. Sanjiu shuttled through the crowded streets like a fish, jumping playfully from one shadow to the next, as if jumping on a grid .

I understand that Xianjun specifically mentioned "meeting old friends" because he was afraid that he would miss his mother so that he could go and find out about her recent situation... He was grateful for Xianjun's kindness, but he just accepted it and didn't want to really go look for her.

I don't know if my mother has given up her gambling addiction now, and if she has any regrets in her heart - as he said before, as long as you don't look at some things, you can treat them as what you think in your heart.

Self-deception?maybe.At least be merry!

I don't think about anything else, but I am only concerned about whether the progress of Xianjun's side is going well. He is jumping and moving among the shadows, wandering aimlessly, wandering around the shops on the street with his eyes, and unconsciously looking at a pastry shop. stopped before.

It was just an ordinary small shop in front of him, and what it sold were only ordinary pastries, rice cakes, peach cakes, jujube cakes... But he was a little crazy looking at it for a while, and couldn't move his eyes for a long time.

He probably hadn't tasted these pastries during his lifetime, but when he arrived in Qingyuan after his death, his new friends gave him a lot of them when he was parting.

On the way to the imperial capital, the scenery is so beautiful, so good, the fairy king is riding the horse, and the ghost king is hugging him, talking and laughing, or bickering, and he also took these "farewell gifts" that he cherished the most Come out, share it with ghosts and immortals, it is so sweet and fragrant - you can't eat it anymore.

Suddenly, his nose felt a little sour, Sanjiu sniffled his nose forcefully, patted his cheek, and scolded himself severely: "Pretentious!"

When Gui Jun comes back, if he finds out that he is so weak, how can he laugh at him!

No matter what, he had no intention of wandering any longer. He squinted his mouth, just wanted to get back to Xianjun as soon as possible, so he turned around suddenly, and was about to look for the temple, but his shoulder bumped into the arm of someone else, causing him to fall down. on the ground.

--"oops!"

The person who was bumped called softly, thinking that it was a naughty child on the street who accidentally bumped into him, but when he looked down, he didn't see anyone.

Sanjiu clutched his shoulders, also a little inexplicable - he is a ghost, how could he bump into someone?

But before he could look up and see who was coming, he heard Xianjun calling him from a distance, "Sanjiu?——"

Immediately throwing away the doubts in his heart, he hurriedly got up, rushed to Tan Fengyue's side like a puff of smoke, and blinked: "Xianjun! The matter is over? Why so fast?"

"Yeah." Tan Fengyue nodded, "It was smoother than I expected, so I saved some time."

Although I don't know what he did, but it must be related to the resurrection of the ghost king. After hearing this, Sanjiu was also silly and happy, grinning: "That's great!"

When she left the temple, she had already settled her mood, and Tan Fengyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly with him, and patted his head, "Let's go, go back to Qingyuan."

……

On the still bustling street, Luo Qinghe carried a bamboo basket full of fruit offering incense candles in one hand, and her sister-in-law with her bulging belly in the other, and walked slowly towards the temple, still chattering about being hit by someone just now What happened: "Someone really hit me..."

As long as she knocked on something accidentally, the sister-in-law of the Luo family didn't take it to heart, she just smiled and said: "The left and right purses are still there, it's just that I met a thief."

Maybe it's just my own overthinking.Luo Qinghe also laughed: "Our family is protected by Jiuling Tianzun, how can we meet thieves?"

Considering her sister-in-law's pregnancy, she slowed down her pace even more, and thought: "Heavenly God blesses you, now mother's health has improved a lot, and father's health is also in good health. When you go to the palace soon, you should ask Heavenly God to bless you, sister-in-law, for a safe life... ..."

"Go, go, go," the sister-in-law of the Luo family laughed and scolded her, "If you pray to God, you have to pray to God! Tianzun is in charge of punishing evil and eliminating evil spirits. When did you intervene in the matter of women's childbirth?"

Patting her sister-in-law's hand lightly, she said: "Every time you go back to the temple to offer incense and pray, you always ask for this and that for us. Have you found a good marriage?"

"Sister-in-law just talked about me," Luo Qinghe couldn't help chuckling, "Since when did Tianzun intervene in the matter of holding the red line?"

Hearing her cleverly divert the conversation, the sister-in-law of the Luo family rolled her eyes and teased suddenly: "Oh, you still remember that fairy in red—"

At that time, when she saw the fairy family, she was only moved for a moment. Luo Qinghe knew that he had nothing to do with her, so she had already let go of it, but when she heard her sister-in-law making fun of it, she still couldn't help being embarrassed by her smile. Blush gently pushed her: "Sister-in-law!"

She couldn't move more lightly, but the sister-in-law of the Luo family focused on talking to her, she didn't see a shallow hole in the ground, she tripped suddenly, lost her balance for a moment, and was about to fall forward——

Luo Qinghe's face turned pale for a moment, and she hurriedly pulled her back. She slammed the bamboo basket in her hand, and the incense sticks rolled to the ground——

At the very moment, a pair of hands stretched out from the side, and just in time firmly supported the shoulders and arms of Luo's sister-in-law.

As soon as he helped the sister-in-law of Luo's family to stand still, the man quickly took his hand back, said "how presumptuous" several times in embarrassment, and then quickly squatted down to pick up the scattered things on the ground for them .

The sister-in-law almost fell down, Luo Qinghe's face was full of panic and self-blame, she asked her repeatedly if she was okay, and if she felt uncomfortable, after getting a negative answer, she was anxious to thank the young master, but Fang Yi turned her head, Then he met the eyes of the young master who had just picked up his things and stood up, and was stunned for a moment.

What is the appearance of this young man... he actually resembles the fairy family in red...

The young man was dressed in a suit of travel and dust, and was dressed plainly, but he didn't show any embarrassment at all. He just stared at her and was stunned. It took him a while to recover, and he bowed his hands and saluted: "I was in a hurry, and I didn't intend to offend the two girls... "

Didn't miss the moment when their eyes met, the sister-in-law of the Luo family looked left at her sister-in-law and right at the strange young man, then covered her lips with a silk handkerchief, and said with a smile: "I'm already a woman, why do I still call her a girl?" Woolen cloth--"

The boy's cheeks burned instantly, and even the tips of his ears turned slightly red, "Yes..."

Seeing that her sister-in-law seemed to be teasing this young master on purpose, Luo Qinghe couldn't help feeling a little anxious, but she didn't dare to pull her anymore, so she could only call her softly: "Sister-in-law!"

Well, is this partiality?The sister-in-law of the Luo family smiled in her heart, but her face was serious, she looked at the young master and said: "I saw the young master's face, so he must not be from the town?"

The redness on the young master's face did not fade, and he hurriedly answered: "Yes, Zhao Anming, a native of Xunzhou, his mother's family is in Hongling, and her surname is Chen. I received a letter from the Hongling government office a month ago, saying that my cousin Chen Wenyu asked someone to come here. There are several schools in the suburbs of Hongling, and I invite you to teach there. And because Xunzhou is far away, I will settle in an expensive place..."

I just asked a question, and this person almost wiped out his family fortune... It's really honest.The sister-in-law of the Luo family became more satisfied the more she looked at him, she also had an idea in her heart, and smiled slightly: "According to this, the young master must be tired after a long day of traveling and traveling. Why don't you come to my embroidery workshop for a while and drink a cup of hot tea? So that I can teach my husband to thank you in person, and be considerate of the etiquette..."
