The world of mortals laughs and laughs madly

Chapter 19

Although he said he wanted to find Ling Xiao, it was not something he had to do in itself, and it was a purely sudden decision, without any preparation or clue, so he just ran out to look for it.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao has Jian Yuzhan on him. Chi Xie has no idea about Ling Xiao, but he still has some ideas about Jian Yuzhan.Even more coincidentally, Jian Yuzhan was not far away at this time.

From here to there, it may take several months with the footsteps of ordinary people, but with the speed of the two of them, two days are enough.

On the third day, the two arrived at their destination, which was a small town by the sea.

It sounds like I caught up with it. Tonight, there will be a lantern festival in town.

It was almost evening when the two arrived, and the town was bustling with lights and festoons, all in preparation for the Lantern Festival.

There are many stalls lined up on both sides of the street, and people coming and going linger in front of the stalls. After seeing this, they choose that. joy.

Speaking of Cang Shuo, it’s been a while since I’ve been in the town, and now it’s rare to come here, and to catch up with such a grand event, I’m so overjoyed, I’ve completely forgotten about my serious business, and I’m making a fuss about Chi Xie Go to the front of the stall.

Arriving at a stall selling paper pinwheels, Cang Shuo saw that the seller handmade them on site, and they were so delicate, so he took a windmill that he liked.Ask Chi Xie: "It's a good job, let's play with two?"

"No need." Chi Xie glanced at him, turned around and left.

Cang Shuo felt bored, put the windmill back angrily, and went to chase Chi Xie again, seeing Chi Xie passing by a stall selling accessories, Cang Shuo hurried up to drag Chi Xie, and took a quick look at the stall. , took a fancy to a button inlaid with multicolored glass.

"How about this one? It suits you very well. It must look good on you, what do you think?" Cang Shuo offered the treasure with a smile.

Chi Xie's hair is extremely long, but he never likes to tie it up. He only picks up a bunch of long hair at the temples on both sides and strokes it behind his head. A thin tassel chain wrapped around the two bundles of long hair.

The hair buckle that Cang Shuo is holding right now is not comparable to those treasures in the heavenly world, and the style is not too fancy. The multi-colored glass on it refracts the iridescent light, but it is pure and beautiful.

However, Chi Xie didn't look directly at him, and said indifferently: "I don't think so." After saying that, he left again.

Cang Shuo gritted his teeth, fumbled left and right on his body, and actually took out a small piece of silver that came from someone who didn't know when, handed it to the vendor, bought the buckle, and stuffed it into his clothes.

I went to chase Chi Xie again, but when I was about to catch up, I was caught by a lantern seller, who held up a lantern and said, "How can we not put lanterns at the lantern festival? Come, take one, and write what you think on it." , let’s go to the seaside again, seek the success, seek the fate, there is hope, right?”

Hearing these words, Cang Shuo was not indifferent, but...

"I'm out of money." Reality is always merciless.

"Oh, it's all right. I think the young master is from another place. It's the first time I come here. Since I caught up with the Lantern Festival, how can I make you come back disappointed? Come, take it, no money, I'll give it to you With that said, the peddler directly put the lantern into Cang Shuo's hand.

Cang Shuo didn't need to be polite, thanked him, and went to find Chi Xie.

When I chased after Chi Xie, I heard yelling from not far away. Looking at it, it was a small tavern, and the waiter outside the door was yelling, how many seafood specialties they prepared in the shop, let Da Yier Go up and taste it, and, today's wine is free, all free.

Hearing this, Cang Shuo was delighted, and rubbing his stomach again, he was indeed a little hungry, so he said to Chi Xie: "That shop looks good, let's go eat something."

Chi Xie was still lukewarm, and said, "I won't go."

"...What the hell is going on with you?"

As the saying goes, there are only three things, so Cang Shuo finally had an attack as a matter of course.

"I always look like this all the way, always put on a stinky face, are you tired? Get angry when you want to lose your temper, just scold if you want to swear, show your whip if you want to hit someone, always so yin and yang. , you don’t think you’re going to panic yourself!”

Thinking about the past two days, even though Chi Xie didn't leave him behind, he was full of sulking.

Thinking that he, Cang Shuo, is also used to being arrogant, how could he laugh and flatter anyone like this, but in the end the master didn't appreciate it at all!

Yes, it wasn't right that he kept it a secret for so long, but it wasn't all his fault for the whole thing.Besides, who did he do that for?Is it just for himself?

The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, and I said stiffly: "I'll ask you to eat something together, will it poison you to death? Just say, are you going or not?"

Chi Xie looked at him quietly for a moment, and finally said: "Go if you want." But he turned around and left.

"you……"

Cang Shuo was so angry that his eyes were filled with stars, and he said angrily, "Okay! I'll go and I'll go, I'll starve you to death, you stinky turkey!"

This... As far as Cang Shuo knows, Chi Xie is born of a phoenix. Cang Shuo has no idea about a phoenix, all he knows is that it is a fire-breathing one, looks like a chicken but is prettier than a chicken, so collectively, turkey... …

It was also the first time he was scolded for this idea, and after scolding, he raised his feet and walked to the tavern. When he arrived at the door, Xiaoer warmly greeted him to go in and take a seat.

However, he still couldn't let go of his heart after all, and looked back, but he couldn't find the red figure anymore.

Immediately startled and angry, Xiao Er yelled several times behind him, but finally he gritted his teeth hard and searched again.

Not long after, he found Chi Xie near a big tree, and at the same time found Ling Xiao who was sitting under the tree.

Cang Shuo couldn't help being stunned for a moment, thinking that he really had nowhere to go, and then he saw that Chi Xie was staring at the Jianhe lamp in his hand, with a deep expression on his face, he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Then he became angry again, stinky turkey, ignored him, and just stared at this crap.

He strode over to Ling Xiao's side and looked him up and down. He couldn't imagine how this person's hair had turned white in a hundred years. Cang Shuo frowned in disgust, and snorted coldly, "The more you look at it, the more difficult it is to follow. You Do you know that you are a mortal? A mortal should look like a mortal. With white hair and a young face, it looks strange!"

"Oh."

Ling Xiao was colder than before, she just nodded indifferently after hearing such words, and replied, "Thank you for your concern."

"Concerned? What you said really taught me whether I should slap you or slap myself."

Cang Shuo clicked his tongue, his gaze fell to the thing in Ling Xiao's hand, his eyes sparkled, and he said unceremoniously: "You are just keeping this for me temporarily, don't lose it, I will get it back sooner or later .”

Of course he had to take it, he begged Chi Xie to "lend" this thing to him, if he didn't get it back, wouldn't he be in a debt of favor to that cheapskate who loves to hold grudges?Cang Shuo thought bitterly.

"You? Take it back?" But a deep voice interjected, with a hint of mockery.

Cang Shuo's face changed slightly, he stared at him, met those bottomless eyes, his thoughts suddenly jumped, I don't know, maybe Chi Xie also remembered that time, thought of Shaoxuan...

I couldn't describe how I felt in my heart, I wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so I turned my head and left.

Aimlessly, Cang Shuo headed straight, but unknowingly came to the beach.

As night fell, the sky was already dark.Compared with the tourists in the town, there are not fewer people on the beach, and five out of ten people are holding lanterns in their hands.

On the surface of the sea, there have been many lanterns floating one after another, one after another, the candles in the lanterns are flickering, going with the waves, gradually drifting away, as if they are about to sink into the end of the sea.

Cang Shuo remembered that he also had a lantern in his hand, held it up to look at it, and thought that since he had taken it all, he should let it go.I have to write something on the lamp before putting it on...

Only then did I realize that I didn't bring a pen, and I couldn't write even if I wanted to.

He might not have to bite his fingers and write with blood... Just as he was in trouble, a pair of hands stretched out from behind him, holding the lantern in his hand with one hand, and holding a pen in the other hand, right on the lamp write up.

Cang Shuo looked back in surprise, and saw that peaceful side face, his eyes were only focused on the lantern, writing on it.

There was a wave of ripples in his heart, his anger was gone, and his resentment was gone. He held the lantern tightly with his palms, and leaned back gently, feeling warm and comforting.

She turned her eyes away and looked back at the lantern, only to see a name written on the lantern.Changed a line down, and wrote another name.

Then Chi Xie stretched out his fingertips and lightly touched the wick in the center of the lantern, and a cluster of small flames lit up.Then they changed hands, held the lantern with Cang Shuo on the left and right, slightly parted their lips and let out a breath, the lantern floated up, flew to the sea, fell slowly, and went away with the waves.

Immediately, Cang Shuo felt that Chi Xie had covered his hand, five fingers passed through his, and held it.

Cang Shuo looked up again, and finally couldn't help asking: "Are you not angry anymore?"

Chi Xie shook his head, and said, "Rather than being angry, it's better to say..." After a pause, he gave a slightly self-deprecating wry smile, and buried his head on Cang Shuo's shoulder, making his voice a bit dull.

"I thought you had forgotten everything. I tried my best to avoid some things, and tried my best to do some things, only to find out in the end that everything is just mediocrity..."

"It's not like that."

Cang Shuo disagreed: "You're asking for trouble. Actually, wouldn't that be good? It's like you and I start over again and get to know each other again. Anyway, there is no past, and it can also avoid some of the original problems. Trouble and contradiction. And now, anyway, it has come to the present, those, troubles and so on have long been nothing, so what is there to worry about?"

Chi Xie raised her face, stared at Cang Shuo for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "Did you ever blame me?"

"Blame you?" Cang Shuo blinked, "What's your fault?"

"Blame me for not asking your wishes, and feeding you a pill, asking you to forget the past, abandon the past, and completely separate from your original self for 100 years. Watch me, listen to me, accompany me, and you can only stay by my side day and night..."

"You are stupid!"

Cang Shuo twitched his lips: "You gave me medicine, but it didn't work at all. It's not me who pretends to be stupid? It's me who has to forget, give up, and leave. These 100 years are my choice. Yes. If I blame you, don’t I also blame myself? If I don’t like it, why don’t I run away early?”

"..." The phoenix eyes lit up, then infinitely deep, but the corners of the lips slowly raised, leaning towards the opposite pair of lips.

Cang Shuo couldn't help holding his breath, closed his eyes and wanted to greet him, but suddenly remembered something, quickly raised his hand to Chi Xie's lips, and said anxiously: "The public, don't be too bold."

Seeing him winking and grinning, Chi Xie couldn't help chuckling, and hugged him tightly, as if he didn't intend to let go.

Cang Shuo didn't say a word anymore, he let him hug him comfortably and tenderly, his arms were gentle but strong, he would rather fall here.

Sliding eyes to the sea, the lantern is far away, with those two names, this is going to the horizon, this wish in my heart, I hope this life and this life will stay together forever and depend on each other forever.

With a thought in his mind, Cang Shuo asked, "I've been meaning to ask you, where are those two wrist straps? Where did you put them?"

"In heaven." Chi Xie said.

"Put that far away?"

Cang Shuo was surprised, thought for a while, and smiled: "I see, you are afraid that if I see it, I will remember something from the past, aren't you?"

Seeing Chi Xie acquiescing, Cang Shuo smiled even brighter, his silver-gray eyes seemed to be shining brightly.

"Speaking of which, it's the first token exchange between you and me, and it's very meaningful. Next time you go back to the heaven, remember to bring it back, don't you forget?"

Chi Xie raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Okay."

After staying in the town for one night, when they wake up the next day, the two will part ways temporarily according to the result of the discussion the night before.

After all, Chi Xie was not worried about Shun Hua, so he went to the General's Tomb first.As for Cang Shuo, he will go there later, and before that, he wants to go back to his family.

After pretending to be amnesia for so many years, naturally he has never had any contact with his family, and he has not even sent a single message back.Now that there is no need to pretend, it's time to go back and have a look.

Originally, Chi Xie was willing to go with Cang Shuo, but Chi Xie threatened Cang Shuo and took him away that day. Many people in the Cang Shuo clan saw it, and it is difficult to explain it now, so Chi Xie really can't help it. It's so convenient to reappear there.

The two parted in front of the door, and before leaving, Cang Shuo suddenly and finally remembered that he forgot to mention to Ling Xiao about the general's tomb yesterday.

However, at this time, the trace of Jian and Zhan was completely lost, as if they had disappeared.

Fortunately, Jianhezhan and Lingxiao have been together for too long, and Lingxiao herself also carries the aura left by the treasure. Chi Xie can judge from this that Lingxiao is no longer in the town, but he has not gone far.

In that direction, Chi Xie can stop by and talk to him.As for the matter of Jian and Zhan, I can also ask together by the way.

Cang Shuo was a little worried, but he had no other ideas, so he had to hand everything over to Chi Xie.

Just like that, the two parted, and Cang Shuo rushed back to the clan.

At this time, his tribe has undergone considerable changes from 100 years ago.

On that day, the wedding day, Cang Shuo, who was the groom, mysteriously disappeared, and the bride's send-off team was left hanging there like fools.

As a result, the wolf clans of the two sides finally fell out, and after some fighting, Cang Shuo's tribe finally annexed each other, and their power grew a lot.

Cang Shuo's return this time was originally a good thing, but his position was somewhat awkward.

For so many years, there has been no news of him. The people in the clan don't know whether he is alive or dead. After waiting for a long time, they finally had to give up. The succession of the head of the clan was also transferred to his younger brother Cang Meng.

Unexpectedly, now that Cang Shuo came back suddenly, the position of patriarch suddenly became uncertain again.

Originally, Cang Shuo was the more expected one of the two brothers, but he disappeared for 100 years without any news, so it is impossible to say that once he came back, the successor seat would be taken back from Cang Meng and returned to him.

The patriarch and his wife didn't say anything, they just asked Cang Shuo to stay for now.

However, it is impossible for Cang Shuo to stay for a long time. At most, he would visit the clan in his spare time. As for the position of patriarch, he didn't want it either.As for the reason, he couldn't and couldn't explain it clearly.

The patriarch was furious when he heard this, but the other clansmen also couldn't understand it, even his mother, who had always loved him, was quite disappointed.The patriarch said that since he wanted to leave, he would leave immediately, and there was no need to stay here.

This made Cang Shuo very difficult, and later Cang Meng came to rescue him, saying that he hadn't seen his brother for many years and missed him, so he took Cang Shuo to his place. As soon as he got home, he was kicked out.

It is inevitable that there will be some blows, but fortunately, Cang Shuo has a temperament that can be taken for granted.That being the case, that's it for tonight.

Speaking of Cang Meng, I haven't seen him for many years, this younger brother has grown up a lot compared to Cang Shuo's impression, although his face is still a little immature, at least he looks like an adult.But his personality doesn't seem to have changed much, he still doesn't know how to speak, and when he doesn't know what to say, he just smiles, quietly and obediently.

Cang Shuo secretly sighed, with such a temperament, it is no wonder that his parents are worried about letting his younger brother inherit the position of patriarch.But as you get older, it should be able to gradually become reassuring.

Cang Meng should be curious about Cang Shuo's experience in these years, so he asked.

Cang Shuo didn't want to answer truthfully, he just said that he is currently practicing with a very powerful person.Cang Meng asked him how long he needed to practice, and he said that there is no end to cultivation.

Cang Meng said, after all, it is the elder brother, this kind of temperament is always enviable.

Cang Shuo smiled wryly without words.If Cang Meng knew the truth, wouldn't he be envious or despised, or something else?

In any case, this is his own choice, and he does not regret it.

Leaving his clan with complicated emotions, Cang Shuo went straight to Tong Ling Sect.After entering the back mountain and searching, finally, I found a solemn tomb, and I could feel its long history from a distance.

The General's Tomb - is a structure that leads from the ground to the ground. There is a porch on the ground, and the stone gate is closed now.

When Cang Shuo gradually approached, the stone door opened, and a red figure came out from behind the door.Cang Shuo was overjoyed, quickened his pace and ran up.

Suddenly, seeing Chi Xie's face change slightly, Cang Shuo also felt something at the same time, stopped and turned to look, couldn't help but stand in shock.

It's not that Cang Shuo has never seen such a scene, but seeing so many heavenly soldiers and generals coming on auspicious clouds like this one, this is a scene he never expected.

The opponent obviously came in a bad way, so he stopped in mid-air, and all the weapons in his hands pointed downward.

The leader was a ruthless man with an imposing manner, wearing a blue armor, and a long halberd in his hand was shining with golden light.

When Cang Shuo saw the inconspicuous figure protruding from behind this person, he felt as if a thunderbolt struck his head, and was stunned.

"Cangmeng..." I didn't know how to make the sound.

"Brother." Cang Meng looked at him with a smile, quietly and obediently: "Thank you brother for leading the way."

"..."

Cang Shuo's head was buzzing again, blank for a moment or two, and then he remembered to look at Chi Xie.

Before he could even see his expression clearly, he just uttered the word "You..." before he heard a cold and majestic voice from the sky.

"Ao Man was supposed to be a sinner. The fifth prince still kidnapped the sinner despite knowing that he couldn't do it. He should be taken back to the heaven to wait for punishment."

It was the leading man, Murray, who spoke.It is said that Zhenjun Murray and the second prince Sichang are best friends, and Sichang is the one who has the most hostile behavior towards Chi Xie among the several princes.

Murray said: "Chi Xie, since you have something to do with this matter, I hope you will take care of yourself and don't make the same mistakes again and again, adding to the crime."

Chi Xie smiled coldly, and said: "Then I'm sorry to ask you to tell me what's wrong." As soon as the words fell, a cloud of auspicious clouds rose up under his feet, and then floated into the air, parallel to the opponent.

Cang Shuo looked up from below, his heart was beating like it was about to pop out of his throat, and he felt more and more anxious and frightened.

All I saw was the halberd raised in Murray's hand: "I did what I was ordered to do, and you did what you wanted, so there is no need to be merciless."

After saying this sentence, I saw thunder and lightning intertwined in the sky, I don't know if it was absorbed into the halberd, or it burst out from the halberd itself, crackling all over the sky, the sound was deafening.

Immediately afterwards, the overwhelming flames whizzed away, turning half of the sky red.

I didn't see anything for a while, and when I came back to my senses, I saw big fireballs falling one after another.In an instant, it was a raging sea of ​​flames as far as the eye could see.

I couldn't help being confused, is this the world, or purgatory?

Standing on the top of Yaoshan Mountain, the cold wind blows freely.Cang Shuo stretched out his hand and grabbed the invisible vine rope, tightening his grip more and more, his knuckles turned dead white.

He never thought that one day he would need to use the Sky-reaching Vine again.

One vine reaches the sky, but it is unpredictable.

Chi Xie fought a battle with all the heavenly soldiers and generals that day, but in the end he was outnumbered and was taken back to the heavenly realm.Up to now, Cang Shuo has not received any news from him, so he is extremely worried and has no choice but to go to the heaven.

Before coming here, Cang Shuo went back to the clan to question Cang Meng, why he appeared there that day, and why he followed him.

Cang Meng smiled innocently, and said: Brother is a demon, what are you doing with a Heavenly Lord?

Then what is your collusion with the people of the heavens?Cang Shuo scolded angrily.

Cang Meng shook his head, said: I didn't, that's their own business.

Cang Shuo couldn't pursue any further facts, his eyes were reddened by bloodshot eyes several times, and he almost wanted to take Cang Meng's life.

Now that the matter has come to this, what can I do if I kill my own brother?I only hope Chi Xie is safe and sound, otherwise...

With a glint in his eyes, he tried his best to calm down his messy mind, and pulled the rattan rope with his hand to go up.

Suddenly he heard the sound of "huhu" from above, and then a figure fell to the ground beside him.Looking intently, I couldn't help being taken aback.

This gray dress, this ordinary face reveals an extraordinary... Ye Zhuqing! ?

"what?"

Seeing Cang Shuo, Ye Zhuqing was also startled, stared for a while, then clapped his hands suddenly, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's just right, you want to go to heaven, right? Fortunately, I came in time, and I will follow you Said, don’t go up and cause trouble again. I’m just here to find you.”

"Looking for me?" Cang Shuo was suspicious.He has only met this person once, so how can there be any friendship that needs to be found?

"Yes, the fifth prince asked me to look for it." Ye Zhuqing said.

"Shunhua?" Cang Shuo couldn't help being stunned.

Wasn't Chi Xie blocking the pursuers that day just to help Shunhua and another person escape?And Chi Xie was indeed the only one who was brought back to the heaven that day.Why did Shunhua ask people to come down from the heaven to find him?What is this...

Although doubtful, this is not what Cang Shuo cares most about at the moment.

"What do you want to see me for?" Staring at Ye Zhuqing closely, he asked speculatively, "Is it about Chi Xie..."

"Well, it's about Chi Xie Tianjun."

Ye Zhuqing nodded, smiled and said, "If you want to find Tianjun, you can come with me. Regarding Tianjun's disposition, it was issued yesterday, and I will explain it to you in detail on the way."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked a few steps, beckoning to Cang Shuo to follow, seeing the complex and unspeakable expression on Cang Shuo's face, he sighed again.

"Anyway, this time, the Heavenly Emperor is really furious..."
