Hu Xinyue glanced at Xu Xian, "Of course not, even the demons can't mess around, otherwise they will be enemies of the entire immortal and Buddha realm, but when the calamity is over, it will add a lot of trouble, what? I want to show my gratitude.

Repay? Then give me all the golden elixirs!"

Xu Xian smiled helplessly. She said this. She just wanted to repay her, but she couldn't say anything more. "After it's done, I'll treat you to a drink. I also got a good wine recently. I don't know how it is better than your dream. Please appreciate it."

one time."

"What?"

"You will know when the time comes. Now let's take good care of the cauldron!"

The fire in the furnace burns quietly, and layers of aroma fill the courtyard.

There were many rustling noises everywhere. Xu Xian looked up and saw many wild beasts emerging from nowhere, as small as snakes and rats, as big as foxes and wolves, slowly approaching the alchemy furnace, apparently attracted by the aroma.

Hu Xinyue raised her hand and was about to drive them away, but Xu Xian stopped her and said, "These scents are not of much use to us, but ordinary beasts may become spiritual after smelling them. They will have another destiny in the future, so let them stay here!"

Hu Xinyue said unexpectedly: "What good will it do to you if there are many more monsters in the world?"

"It doesn't do any good."

"You are pretending to be a good person here. In the future, they will become spirits and harm people. It is all thanks to your good intentions today." Hu Xinyue sneered.

"Harming people? But apart from you, there are really not many monsters I know that are harmful to people."

"Thank you for the compliment!" Hu Xinyue pouted and made some unintelligible noises, and the beasts stopped approaching and crouched far away.

After a moment of silence, Hu Xinyue suddenly asked: "How is Bai Suzhen?"

Xu Xian smiled and said, "You really should still care about her!"

Hu Xinyue's face returned to normal as soon as she turned red, "So what?"

"She is still in seclusion now. I don't know if something will happen again!" Speaking of this, Xu Xian couldn't help but feel slightly worried. She hasn't contacted him for a long time, and she doesn't know how far the seclusion has reached."

"It's all your fault!" Hu Xinyue couldn't help but find the target of blame.

"Yeah, it's all my fault! But at least I won't abandon her like someone did!"

"What do you know! I...I..." Hu Xinyue burst into anger and could no longer remain calm. Even with a scowl, it was said to be peerless.

Xu Xian looked directly into Hu Xinyue's eyes. After a moment, she finally turned away and said, "I left her behind."

"That's why I can't face her properly!" Even if Bai Suzhen could let go, Hu Xinyue herself couldn't. Her bad attitude might just be to cover up the complicated feelings in her heart. In the end, even though she stood resolutely on Bai Suzhen's side, she still remained the same.

Acting cool and unrestrained, but refusing to reconcile honestly.

"It has nothing to do with you!"

"But you looked very lonely on the boat!" Xu Xian never liked this word, and it always seemed a bit pretentious when it was said. However, there was no other better expression for the emotion that was read on her face that day.

"Why, Mr. Xu, are you trying to seduce me by pretending to understand me?"

Xu Xian just kept talking to himself, "Whether life is like a dream or lonely like snow, no matter how great you say it is, in fact you are no different from the most ordinary people, they just want a pair of warm hands.

As long as you can hold it, all the snow will melt, and you will no longer think about floating life. Of course, you will no longer be able to sigh like a poet. Without those distant feelings, you will become happy."

Hu Xinyue listened quietly, the sarcasm on her face gradually disappeared, and she fell into deep thought. When Xu Xian finished speaking, Fang replied: "You are just a mortal who has lived for decades, don't teach me what to do!"

"As you said, I am just a mortal who has lived for decades, and I don't understand anything too profound. But when I see your face, I feel that as long as you are hugged by my wife, you will laugh immediately.

Haha, because that’s how I am!”

Hu Xinyue was speechless, so Xu Xian said bluntly: "When she comes out of confinement, go pick her up!"

There was hesitation on Hu Xinyue's face.

"This is not for you, but for my wife to prevent her from feeling regretful. If you refuse to go then, I will also capture you as a gift to congratulate her on her release from confinement!"

Hu Xinyue, who was treated as a "gift", glared at Xu Xian, but surprisingly did not retort. Instead, she held her cheek and looked at the distant sky. A few clouds were floating gently in the bright blue sky.

Time passes easily, morning and evening change, and it is already dusk in the blink of an eye.

Bats circled the beams at night, and crows made noisy noises, fluttering their wings, circling in the sky above the cauldron, forming countless columns, like wolf smoke straight into the sky.

On Chang'an City, the soldiers guarding the city were startled and rushed down the city, "Oh no, sir, it's smoke!"

The gate officer was also shocked and almost fell off his chair. The world has been at peace for a long time, and he has long forgotten what the smoke of war looks like. Could it be that the war is rising again?

He looked along where the soldiers were pointing and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Don't confuse the public with your evil words. How can there be a beacon tower in Xishan?"

"Then...what is that?"

People in the city were even more panic-stricken. People were running around telling each other, and they were all watching this strange scene on the street.

Emperor Jiayu was also alarmed and climbed up to the city wall to watch. All the civil and military officials followed closely behind, and they were all panic-stricken.

After a while, the imperial guard came to report, "Your Majesty, the Jinwu Guards have gone to check. It is not the smoke of the wolf, but the condensation of many bats on the White Cloud Temple in the West Mountain."

However, such a result cannot make anyone relieved. Even ordinary people can see that this is a sign of great misfortune without any magical calculation. The ancients believed in good and bad luck, ghosts and gods, and sometimes these illusory omens are even worse than the real ones.

The weapons and fire are more photogenic.

The officials whispered, "Isn't Baiyun Temple the dojo given to the old Taoist by His Majesty?" "I heard that they are refining elixirs recently!" They all turned their attention to Taiyin Zhenren who stood beside Emperor Jiayu.

Master Taiyin smiled and said nothing, not caring at all.

Emperor Jiayu looked at the black smoke and frowned secretly.

The Empress said: "Martial Supervisor Zheng?"

The military supervisor of the Qintian Prison was wiping away the cold sweat, complaining in his heart: I, the Qintian Prison, are in charge of the astronomical calendar, how can I care about how bats fly?

In ancient times, astrology was inseparable from good and bad luck. If a meteorite fell from the sky or Halley's Comet passed by the earth again, the emperor would fast and reflect, whether he had failed to govern the country and was responsible for God's fault. Over time, even winter thunder and summer snow would be affected.

The Heavenly Supervisor comes out to explain good and bad luck, but if the explanation is not done well, it will be a trivial matter to lose one's official position, but it is not impossible to be fatal.

Wu Jianzheng said cautiously: "This... this is a sign of great good fortune. The arrival of five blessings is already a great good thing, but now it is a thousand blessings. It is His Majesty's kindness that benefits the people. God bless Daxia and send this auspicious sign." Originally.

He still spoke softly, and the more he spoke, the higher his tone became, full of uncontrollable joy.

The King of Liang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I thought it was a good omen originally, but now after the military supervisor Zhengyi explained it, it is indeed a good omen. Your Majesty is wise, long live our emperor!"

All the officials echoed, and in an instant the city was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and Emperor Jiayu's expression softened a lot.

Master Taiyin pursed his lips and smiled.

"Nonsense, this is obviously an ominous sign!" Suddenly a voice choked the cheerful atmosphere and stopped abruptly.

The empress looked up at the military supervisor with her willow eyebrows, then she glanced at the civil and military officials, saluted Emperor Jiayu and said: "This is clearly a warning from God to your majesty. I am not talented, so I ask your majesty to stop refining elixirs and concentrate on state affairs.

Don’t believe in evil spirits again!”

Since Master Taiyin entered the palace, she was the only one who dared to directly accuse Master Taiyin of being a demon. All the officials held their breath, thinking that Emperor Jiayu would be angry, but they didn't expect that he just waved his hand and said: "It's getting late, all the ministers' families

Let’s break up!”

No one dared to disobey the order, so they all bowed and left.

Only the Queen was still kneeling on the spot, her heart cold.

Emperor Jiayu frowned and said, "Why don't you help the empress back to the palace!" Several palace maids hurriedly came to help her.

The empress resisted the help, stood up on her own, glared at Master Taiyin fiercely, and walked away.

Only Taiyin Zhenren and Emperor Jiayu were left on the terrace. Emperor Jiayu breathed out a sigh of relief, patted the railing and said in a solemn voice: "The queen is thinking about me!" He is not a fatuous king, so why not?

Understand this.

Master Taiyin asked, "I have clearly told you all the causes and consequences. You are the Nine-Fifth Supreme Being. If you don't want to, I can't force you. Now I ask you again, do you regret it?"

Emperor Jiayu shook his head and leaned on the railing to look into the distance. The sun was setting in the west, and the world was dim.

The Empress returned to Kunning Palace and smashed several antique utensils. Her breasts were heaving. After a while, she said: "I will make preparations for you now. When the palace door opens tomorrow, I will show you the great mercy."

Temple!”

Early the next morning, the queen asked for permission to leave the palace, rode on a chariot with a guard of honor, and walked several miles out of the palace gate.

In Ci'en Temple, the Queen Mother implored: "Master Abbot, please stay here and lend me a helping hand."

Fashan was wearing a cassock and still had a smile on his face, "Mother, if you are not a poor monk, you are not willing to help me. A monk will not do anything in the world of mortals."

"Monks save all sentient beings with compassion. Now the evil way is disrupting the country and causing harm to the Holy Heart. How can we sit back and ignore it?"

Fashan scratched his shiny bald head and said with a helpless smile: "Besides, the poor monk is no match for the 'demon' way you mentioned!" Moreover, the poor monk doesn't want to save all sentient beings, he just wants to make his own family happy.

"Is the demon really so powerful?"

Fashan said: "Not only is he awesome, he is simply a rare talent."

"Is there really nothing we can do?"

Fashan scratched his head again, thinking about how much the Queen had been kind to him over the years, and he couldn't refuse it. Although he didn't like trouble, there were others who did, so he said: "I have a senior brother named Fahai who talks about Taoism and practices.

Not weaker than him, and with the help of the magic weapon given by the master, it may be able to help the empress."

"Where is that Zen Master Fahai now?"
