The Second Emperor of the East is here, who else is there?

Chapter 21

Yunlu Xianju, Chengtian Temple.

Jue Chen walked into the hall and went up a few steps, only to see Mu Shan staring at the scroll in her hand, wondering what she was thinking.

He was not in a hurry, but just stood silently behind Mu Shan, his eyebrows slightly lowered, until Mu Shan came back from the scroll and smiled apologetically when she saw him.

"Juechen, you're back?" Mu Shan said softly, "How's the situation over there at Yanqiu?"

"Not very optimistic," Jue Chen sighed: "I found the whereabouts of Yu Jizi and Qiye at Yanqiu, I'm afraid that Youzhou would also like to share in the so-called reincarnation of Hou Yi Son, I just don't know if they have already contacted Youqiong."

Mu Shan thought for a moment, and then said: "Speaking of which, the day of Master Shide's departure from the mountain should be coming soon. I've always been a little worried recently. Obviously, the seventeenth day of the first lunar month is the day when I can get out of the mountain. You can't even feel the power of the gods, but in the past, when the gods came down to earth, there were celestial omens for ten days before and after."

"Master, do you mean that the three pandas are planning to do something again?" Jue Chen thought for a while and asked in a low voice.

"It's very possible, I'm afraid, they are watching the progress of the matter again!" Mu Shan put away the scroll, and suddenly sneered: "However, no matter what they are planning, they are probably targeting Youdu. It will not be disadvantageous to my Yunlu Xianju."

Jue Chen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but paused for a while, but he swallowed the words that had come to his mouth.

"Forget it... on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, I will go with you. If I pick it up and go down to earth, I can also ask about Shuiyun mirror." Mu Shan sighed, rolled up the scroll in her hand and walked out of Chengtian Hall.

Jue Chen walked out with her, but unexpectedly, Mu Shan bowed her head in thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "Jue Chen, on the 15th Lantern Festival, there should be a lantern festival in Wushuang City."

Jue Chen was startled, paused for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, master, every Lantern Festival, Wushuang City is very lively, and the Wushuang Lantern Festival is very famous in the whole Great Wilderness."

"Then," Mu Shan raised her head, looking at the rainbow on the Qixia Pavilion, "on the day of the Lantern Festival, let's go to see the Lantern Festival together, I'm afraid, after the Lantern Festival, we will be too busy for a long time to have fun. "

"Okay, if the master wants to go..." Jue Chen saw the calculating look in Mu Shan's eyes, and guessed that his master was going to investigate something during the Lantern Festival, so he took the lantern to do it. It was a pretense, but he didn't say a word on the surface, and he didn't want to agree to it.

**

On the other side, the Youdu Shuofang City.

Thin flakes of snow are floating outside the window, and inside the window, the warm fire is jumping in the furnace, and the whole house is as warm as spring.

Mo Ji and Tai Yi sat in front of the fire, drinking warm wine while chatting with each other.

"Hey, speaking of it...Brother, there will be a lantern festival in Wushuang City in two days, every year during the Lantern Festival, but I can't remember the last time I saw it. It's been a year. I was thinking, anyway, we don't have much to do during the Lantern Festival, so we might as well go look at the lanterns and have some fun." Mo Ji said in a muffled voice while poking the egg tarts on the plate.

"Lantern festival?" Taiyi was a little surprised: "So, there is also a lantern festival here!"

He remembered that in the previous games, it seemed that every Lantern Festival, there was a task of the Wushuang Lantern Festival. He really didn't expect that the activity of the Lantern Festival hadn't changed at all when he came here, but he didn't know if the Lantern Festival would also rely on guessing lantern riddles. Win rewards.

"Oh, that's right, that fellow Jin Kanzi also ran back to find Amakusa to spend the Lantern Festival, so he left me alone in Shuofang City. It's a good idea to go out and have fun!" Taiyi rested his chin, silently He drank another glass of wine: "Hey, I promise you, let's go to see the lights together!"

"Don't forget to win something back for me, the lantern riddles there are not easy to guess!" Mo Ji's eyes turned crescents into a smile.

"What a horse?!" Tai Yi's mouth twitched: "This, this, little Moji, you are too optimistic about me, but I don't know how to guess lantern riddles at all. I have never done those tasks before. I answered it myself!"

"I don't care, whoever told you that you belong to my brother, isn't the work of guessing lantern riddles done by men to women!" Mo Ji folded her arms, looking helpless.

"..." Tai Yi's face was full of cattle.

Where are the elves in the world? ! !The answer is amazing, hurry up and post it!

**

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wushuang City in the Central Plains.

That night, the broad streets of Wushuang City were brightly lit like daytime.There are all kinds of colorful lanterns, and there are countless special snacks from all over the world.The cries of hawkers and the laughter of passers-by can be heard endlessly, which actually set off the frigid night in full swing.

In the sky, there are enchanting fireworks blooming, bright enough to almost cover the moonlight.

"Guest officer, buy a mask for the little lady! It's a tradition in our Wushuang City to guess lantern riddles with a mask on!" Tai Yi and Mo Ji were walking among the bustling crowd, when suddenly they heard the salesman's enthusiastic sales voice.

At this time, the two of them had already changed out of the eye-catching clothes, but deliberately wore a simple white robe, using illusion to cover up their appearance, at first glance, they seemed to be ordinary young ladies , is not outstanding.

"Hey, okay, brother, let's buy one, how about it?" Mo Ji was quite interested, she pulled Taiyi's sleeve and said cheerfully: "Hey, don't think I don't know that you secretly brought money here , don’t forget to give me a share of whatever you eat and play!”

Taiyi sighed helplessly, and silently took out his half-shrunk wallet: "Come on, pick one you like!"

Mo Ji looked left and right at the booth selling masks, and finally picked a mask decorated with white feathers that covered the upper half of her face, and put it on her face involuntarily: "Hey, I want this, Brother, you can choose one too!"

Taiyi sighed helplessly, and after searching for a long time among the countless various and colorful masks, he finally chose a dark golden mask.The mask is decorated with fine vermilion dark lines, very much like a blooming manjusawa.

For some reason, he just felt that he was most destined for this mask.

"Oh, guest officer, your little lady is really beautiful. I heard that couples who have seen lanterns together can be together for a hundred years! In the future, when we walk on the Naihe Bridge together, we will never forget each other forever." !" The peddler's compliment sounded at the right time.

"I said that to the wrong person," Mo Ji suddenly said in a low voice, "We are... brother and sister."

"Oh, sorry girl, but your brother is so kind to you!"

"...Of course!" Mo Ji smiled smugly when she heard this, and her face, which was so ordinary covered by the illusion technique, was now a little moving because of this smile.

Taiyi still remembers that there is a long bridge in the middle of Wushuang City.

The lantern riddles in the game started beside the long bridge.

He pulled Mo Ji, squeezed left and right in the crowd, and finally managed to squeeze into the center of Wushuang City.

At this time, the lights are shining brightly like running water, against the lanterns under the bridge full of riddles, it is more romantic.

"I remember, I was still young when I watched the lanterns. At that time, my father was the best father in the world. He brought me here and let me sit on his neck. It was also in this position. I guessed the lantern riddles one by one. I remember, he even won me a pearl hairpin that year." Amidst the commotion, Mo Ji sighed and said: "At that time, I felt that without a mother It doesn't matter anymore, I am very satisfied to have such a good father, but I never thought of... Sigh!"

"Hey, don't be sad, let me see if I can guess a few for you correctly!" Taiyi also felt something about this scene, and what's more, he thought of such a famous word in his previous life.

Just as he was about to drag Mo Ji into the circle of lantern riddles, Taiyi suddenly heard someone talking in front of him.

"Hey, look, look, that young master has answered the question correctly again. I think he has almost guessed all the lantern riddles!"

"Yes, yes, that young master is really smart and beautiful, and the girl next to him is also beautiful, she is really a man and woman!"

"You ignorant people, didn't you see the clothes on them? Those are the disciple clothes of Yunlu Xianju!"

"Oh oh oh, it turned out to be the young hero of Yunlu Xianju! I never expected that there would be such a character in the Huaxia sect. He really looks like a fairy!"

……

As soon as Tai heard the name Yunlu Xianju, he couldn't help but glanced at the crowd.

Under the lantern with lantern riddles hung, there stood a man and a woman, both wearing light gold robes, the material of the clothes was very special, it was like flowing water.

At this time, the man was standing with his back to him, thinking about something with his head down. The woman turned her face to him and smiled faintly. However, that smile had a bit of calm and prestige.A side profile, a look back, her face made Tai Yi somewhat inexplicably familiar.

"Hey, what kind of mystery is this? It's written like a poem."

"It seems that this young man is also stumped!"

……

When Taiyi heard this, he couldn't help being a little curious.

He pulled Mo Ji closer, but saw a long lantern riddle hanging under the lantern where the man was standing.

"First moisten the Duan inkstone to write orchid leaves, then move the evening lamp to draw pine plums, and write an idiom."

Taiyi thought for a while, and an idiom quietly floated in his heart.

"If someone guesses this lantern riddle correctly, the lotus lantern at the top will be yours!" The peddler laughed heartily, especially when he saw everyone frowning and thinking hard, but there was no result.

"Ah, I like this lamp, bro, do you know the answer?" Mo Ji looked at the lamp, and pulled Tai Yi's sleeve eagerly.

Tai Yi looked up at the shape of the lotus lantern, and it was really delicate and tight, the fabric as thin as a cicada's wings was cut into the shape of a lotus.

"I'll win it to you!" Tai Yi smiled. He knew that Mo Ji must have taken a fancy to the meaning contained in the Bingdilian. Even he was a little tempted when he saw the lamp.

Thinking of this, he asked for banknotes and scribbled down a few words.

After finishing writing, he didn't care how ugly his handwriting was, but just handed the note to the peddler.

Just at this time, the man in the golden robe also wrote the answer. Seeing Tai Yi and Mo Ji, a man and woman who suddenly appeared, a smile flashed across his lips, and he quietly crumpled and tore up his note.

"Sir, you are really talented. You can guess such a riddle. This double lotus lamp belongs to you. I wish you a happy marriage with the young lady for a hundred years, just like this double lotus!" It was a little dark, but he still quickly took down the twin lotus lantern, looked around, and handed the lantern to Mo Ji.

Mo Ji happily held the lantern and looked at it again and again. After a while, she happily held the lantern and said to Taiyi: "Look, look, this lantern is so exquisite! It's even more beautiful than I remembered back then. "

Tai Yi smiled, unknown, there was a corner of his heart that slowly became gentle.

The feeling of being spoiled by a younger sister seems...not bad.

Just at this time, he turned his head and looked at the man in the golden robe.

It happened that the other party also looked back at him.

That look shocked Tai Yi's heart.

That picturesque man wore a bright golden mask, but he would never recognize the eyes behind the mask no matter what.

Such a gentle smile, only that person can interpret it so thoroughly!

However, the next moment, the woman who also wore the golden robe walked over and left with that person, and even whispered something very intimately.

It turned out that he really came to this world.

It turned out that he was, after all, accompanied by a woman...

……

Suddenly, Taiyi felt great grief.

He suddenly thought of a song he sang before.

……

I search for you thousands of times, from sunrise to sunset, I am ups and downs in the rivers and lakes.

I've searched for you thousands of times, and you've been dying for another year, but you're not in a dimly lit place.

……

On the other side, Mu Shan pulled Jue Chen away and walked a little further away. She asked in surprise: "Jue Chen, you clearly guessed the answer just now, why did you tear it up again?"

"Heh," Jue Chen smiled, with a touch of sadness in his eyes: "Master, let's give that twin lotus lantern... to a real couple."

Mu Shan suddenly chuckled, lowered her eyebrows, and didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, she suddenly asked: "Then, what is the answer to that riddle?"

Jue Chen looked at the still noisy Changqiao Kuan Street in the night, and suddenly, a faint smile bloomed on the corner of his mouth.

……

After a long time, he replied softly:

"The sea is dry and the rock is rotten."

……

******

Leaving that piece of lanterns, the surrounding scenes seem to be dull in an instant.

"Brother, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that Tai Yi's expression was a little ugly, Mo Ji couldn't help but asked in a worried voice.

"It's okay," Tai Yi smiled, "It's just that I saw a person just now, and it seems a bit familiar."

"Eh? Speaking of which, the Sun God looks familiar to you, how old must be that old monster!" Mo Ji lowered her voice and joked.

After hearing this, Taiyi couldn't help laughing: "Where do you think you are, but ah, do you believe the things in the past and present?"

"What past and present life? I only remember the present." Mo Ji shrugged and replied nonchalantly, "Isn't it right to live the present time happily?"

"...That's true." Hearing these words, Tai Yi suddenly felt that the haze that had always existed in his heart had quietly dissipated.

Yes, these are all things from the previous life.He just forgot to drink that bowl of Mengpo soup and avoided forgetting.

For the things of the previous life, let it... stay in the previous life.

He was about to say a few words of thanks to Mo Ji, but unexpectedly, Mo Ji behind her suddenly lost her voice.

Tai Yi turned around in surprise, the first thing he saw was a man in the same plain white robe and golden mask.Under the mask, there was a little smile in those green eyes like lake water.

Mo Ji was stunned, she just stared into those eyes in a daze, without saying a word for a long time.

"Let's go," Qiye stretched out his hand to Mo Ji: "Let's watch the lights together!"

"But, your cleanliness..." Mo Ji muttered.

"It doesn't matter," Qiye smiled lightly: "Just have fun, the big deal is, I don't want to eat when you eat."

"This..." Mo Ji was still hesitating, but Qiye directly pulled her into the crowd: "I don't trust your husband so much, let's go, how about I take you to guess lantern riddles?"

"Can you still guess lantern riddles? No way..."

"It's not good to underestimate your husband so much. If I guess correctly, how can you reward me?"

……

Seeing Qiye and Mo Ji walking away talking and laughing, and Mo Ji holding up the twin lotus lantern from time to time, talking and laughing, Taiyi suddenly felt a little unknown sourness in his heart.

In fact, he just hopes that there is someone who can keep him company and watch the lights together!

It's just that he seems to be... alone now.

Tai Yi was walking aimlessly in Wushuang City, feeling that the bustle around him seemed to pass by in a flash, but he couldn't stop for him at all.

He also couldn't remember how long he had been walking until Huang Taiyi's voice sounded in his mind: "I thought you were the most idle, but I didn't expect that guy to be more idle than you!"

"Who?" Tai asked subconsciously, and shut his mouth as soon as he called out, for fear of being regarded as a monster.

"Who else is there? Look at the one standing at the end of the bridge over there, wearing black clothes and a black mask. That's Yu Jizi who used the illusion technique, and has been standing there looking at you for a long time."

"Ah?!" Tai was stunned: "You, how do you know? You...can you see through illusion?"

"A mere illusory appearance, in the eyes of that guy and me, having or not is the same," Donghuang Taiyi snorted coldly: "Do you think I should thank you, or should I just drive you away? That guy, Jizi, is pretty solid, after monitoring for several months, he has already detected his feelings!"

"Ah? What??!" Tai Yi continued to be in a daze: "Boss Dong, it's true that today is the Lantern Festival, but it's not April Fool's Day, just kidding...it's not the time!"

"Are you kidding or not? You can tell by looking over there," Donghuang Taiyi said in a cold voice, but after speaking, his tone seemed to be a little bit sighed: "I think, in this wilderness, I am afraid that there are few people who know better than me." That person belongs to him... In fact, he cares about you very much."

Know your size!Do you know his two masters?Do you know Bai Luhan? ? ?

Taiyi roared in his heart, but still couldn't control his neck, and slowly raised his head.

The man in black with an extremely ordinary appearance just stood quietly in the dim lights of Huajie.Under the black iron mask, those eyes were as silent as a deep pool.At this moment, he didn't seem to expect that Tai Yi would suddenly raise his head, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

After a moment of astonishment, another unknown emotion slowly swelled up in Taiyi's heart, like a balloon being blown up, slowly filling that extremely mysterious position bit by bit.

It turned out that someone was waiting among thousands of red lights, it was such a happy thing.

"Chicken Hero?" He pulled out a silly smile: "You, why are you here?"

Seemingly stunned by that smile and title again, Yu Jizi looked at him with a strange expression, and didn't speak for a long time.

It took him a long time to clean up that strange expression.

"We go home."

Saying that, Yujizi stretched out a hand to Taiyi, his eyes were as calm as ever, but at the moment Taiyi hesitated to extend his hand, there was a trace of something similar to gentleness.

Unknown, a somewhat familiar picture suddenly appeared in front of Taiyi's eyes.

In the picture, a young man in a pity robe smiled and stretched out his hand to the child, saying in a low voice, "Let's go home."

The child hesitated for a long time, and finally, cautiously stretched out his hand and held that hand.

……

"Now, you can't drive me away anymore!"

The illusion and reality quietly overlapped, and Taiyi's words just blurted out unconsciously.

Surprise flashed in Yu Jizi's eyes, unbelievable, probing... All kinds of complicated emotions suddenly made those usually indifferent eyes feel a little painful.

"En." After a long time, he just responded softly, and the expression between his brows and eyes was frozen into a slight warmth.

At that moment, in Tai Yi's eyes, the fireworks all over the sky became lively and bright again, and even the noisy sound of playing and singing became pleasant again.

The two wandered aimlessly in Wushuang City like this, Yu Jizi was still silent, but Taiyi was very strange and didn't feel embarrassed.

"On New Year's Eve, I saw a beautiful fireworks in Moon Shadow Bay. In our world, the fireworks look much more beautiful than this, but there is no atmosphere here at all, so I saw them here Fireworks are the most beautiful."

"In our place, every time the Lantern Festival comes, there is also the task of the Lantern Festival, but ah, the task is boring, but it is interesting here, and there are many such interesting rewards to win... By the way, I am very good at it Guess the lantern riddles, I'll win you a lantern later!"

……

Yujizi never answered the conversation, but just listened quietly to Taiyi's long speech, occasionally answering.

It wasn't until Taiyi was really tired and took a breath that Yu Jizi slowly said: "You still gossip like this, which is quite right. I haven't talked for a while, and I'm really not used to it."

"Aha?" Tai Yi was stunned: "What rice?!! I can speak very well? Oh, how can I... I just think of something to say when I get excited."

A hint of amusement flashed slowly in Yu Jizi's eyes, and the corners of his mouth were raised slightly, looking like he was smiling.

"Yeah, Chicken... Hero Chicken, so you can laugh too! This is the first time I've seen you laugh!" Taiyi looked at the smile that was as short-lived as a flash in the pan, and was very surprised: "Well, I still laugh It looks better."

Yu Jizi suppressed her smile subconsciously, looking a little annoyed.

……

The flower street is very long, as if you can't see the side.

From time to time, Taiyi's flattering voice sounded.

"Hero Chicken, I said, take me with you when you go out in the future, okay? Now I can be regarded as a bit of magic, I can't beat it, I can still escape! So you believe me, I don't It will hold you back!"

"Hero Chicken, can you stop keeping a cold face in the future? It's scary. I always think about where I offended you and made you angry. Every time I see you, I feel a little scared."

"Chicken Hero..."

The noisy noise gradually faded away with the sound of footsteps.

Qiye watched from behind so much that the mask fell off several times in shock.

"I... this... this... this... this is... Yujizi? Donghuang Taiyi has been talking, after talking so much, he is... not angry?"

"Oh my husband, don't worry about them, it's you who left me in Shuofang City these days, I'm almost bored to death! Now, look, I'm not weak, I can help you! Next time I want to go out with you, I can help you, trust me!" Mo Ji dragged Qiye away from the spot with a smile on her face, and whispered while walking.

"Hey, you..." Qiye seemed a little helpless: "Do you know how dangerous this matter is?"

"I'll follow if it's dangerous," Mo Ji said without hesitation, "I'm also the wife of Shuofang City Lord!"

"Hey, well, I really can't do anything about you!" Qiye sighed, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

……

The night is deep.

Everyone who is shrouded in night has his own way back.

Taiyi thought, maybe one day he will be able to erase Mo Feiyun's shadow from Yu Jizi's heart, or his own existence, gradually, can be equated with his master in his mind.

Maybe it's a long wait!But so what?

From the time when he stretched out his hand amidst thousands of lights and said to him, "Let's go home", he suddenly understood that he already had a home in this wilderness.
