Former Sweetheart

The south of the Yangtze River is a place where the world's spiritual veins gather. The long-established sects of cultivating immortals all made their fortunes in this area, and this also led to the occupation of the spiritual veins near the Longjiang River by various sects. The emerging sects can only find other gates in the surrounding areas. After making a fortune, they will compete with the old sect for territory.

Countries fight for land, monks fight for spiritual veins, and most of the disputes in the world arise because of this. For thousands of years in the rivers and lakes, there have been many disturbances due to the issue of spiritual veins.However, this unknown sect set the mountain gate in Lin'an City at the junction of the north and the south at the beginning of its establishment. Even though it has developed into a powerful sect second only to Xuanmen, it has no intention of finding another spiritual vein. number.

You Jiang's trip was intended to revive Xingyaoquan, but he was quite concerned about the person the Immortal Emperor was looking for, so he ordered Cun Jie to go to Chang'an to find a solitary life on the way, and he took the most stable third elder and Fu Hongye with him. Arrived in Lin'an City.

This Lin'an city was built 300 years ago during the civil strife of the Zhao family. At that time, the Li family took the opportunity to rise up and occupy Chang'an.Later, the Zhao family was defeated, and Lin'an became a major city for north-south trade because of a canal leading directly to Chang'an, and it is quite prosperous today.

Lin'an is modeled after Chang'an City in every way. The roads in the city are flat and extend in all directions.

You Jiang was born in Chang'an since he was a child, and now he feels familiar everywhere when walking in this street, and he can't help sighing: "The scenery of Lin'an is really similar to that of Chang'an, even the maple forests have been transplanted outside the city, it is worthy of being called 'Little Chang'an' 'The place."

Fu Hongye has often come to Lin'an City to discuss matters in recent years, and she is quite familiar with it. At this time, she led the two of them to the unknown door, and only said after hearing the words: "It is similar but also has many differences. After all, it is close to Jiangnan, and is longer An. A little more leisurely."

Chang'an is the imperial city, while Lin'an is now where the monks' mountain gate is located. Even though the buildings are the same, the people in the city are quite different.For example, at this time, Chang'an City is already busy preparing for the New Year's Eve banquet, which is the busiest time for children of all ethnic groups to go home for reunion; while the most lively places in Lin'an are teahouses and theaters. There was an endless stream of voices, and everyone looked leisurely and leisurely, without any sense of time rushing by.

It has been a long time since You Jiang strolled in the market casually, now looking at the surrounding scenery, a thought suddenly arises, "Are there any spirits here?"

He originally wanted to imitate Chang'an in everything here, maybe even the ghosts, so he asked casually.Fu Hongye paused when he heard the words, and replied in a slightly lower voice, "There used to be one, and it was called Lin'an Jun. Because everything was built after Chang'an, it can be regarded as a branch of me. According to the human race , almost brothers."

The word "has been" seems to have a deep meaning, You Jiang secretly glanced at him, and felt that this might not be a pleasant topic, so he didn't continue to ask about the current situation of Lord Lin'an, only slightly puzzled: "You are the emperor, but it Just a monarch?"

There are not many spirits and monsters in the world, and emperors are even rarer. Fu Hongye just smiled nostalgicly when he mentioned it, "After all, Lin'an has only been built for more than 300 years, and among spirits and monsters, it is almost equivalent to a pre-term child. Even the thousand-year-old city of Chang'an, Compared with those old predecessors who have existed since the beginning of the world, they are just teenagers who have just grown up."

The lifespan of the human race is limited. Even the monks in the late stage of the tribulation have difficulty living to a thousand years old. The spirits have witnessed the world from destruction to rebirth several times. Maybe in ten thousand years, the human race will be like the one who ruled the world. The wild monsters perish in the glacier like that, but the spirits are still watching the new life being born again quietly as in the past.

This kind of thing is also mysterious, You Jiang felt as if he had touched a trace of the law of heaven, but he couldn't see it clearly, and finally just sighed, "I have only lived for more than 100 years and I feel that I am already very old, and I don't know How did you ghosts survive for thousands of years?"

Fu Hongye has the most right to speak on this topic. He tried to recall his life as a ghost, so he replied in a way that You Jiang could understand: "Probably collecting spiritual energy to maintain the balance of the world, and raising flowers and trees when there is nothing to do. Raise birds and animals, but also raise people."

Spirits have been collecting spiritual energy since the day they condensed their consciousness, some of which are stored in their own land to form spiritual veins, and the other part is distributed to the vegetation in the spiritual domain to promote their growth. Later, after the birth of the human race, they don't mind giving some spiritual energy to people. .This is a very harmonious coexistence, but people are very different from the creatures in the past. They have too many strange ideas in their minds, and even discovered the existence of spirits. As this race grows stronger, the balance is also precarious.

You Jiang knew how violent people are, so he tried to think about the scene where the monster was troubled by the human race, and only said to Fu Hongye: "It sounds like being a monster is more comfortable than being a human, and you are really confused. Do it, you have to be reincarnated as an adult."

So people are really a very complicated race. They can be more ferocious and greedy than tigers and wolves, and they can be more gentle and weak than sheep and white rabbits. To protect creatures that have nothing to do with him.Obviously they are the same race, but they can split into two diametrically opposite evolutionary paths, immortal and demon, which can be regarded as reflecting the magic of good fortune.

Emperor Chang'an is a ghost who watched the growth of the human race, and after all, he has a partiality for this race. At this time, Fu Hongye looked down at his hands, and just smiled lightly: "Actually, being a human is not bad. When I was a ghost, I could only look at the past generations." The dynasty was destroyed, listening to the wailing and crying of thousands of people, wives and children, the only thing I could do was rain to wash away the bloody city. Now, I have my own hands, which can stop everything before the tragedy happens Chaos."

The way of survival of spirits and monsters nourishes all things makes them tolerant. They are born only to coexist and do not know what aggression is. What they always think about is how to make everyone live well, and they never reject aliens.And this is the realm of harmony between man and nature that righteous monks yearn for most.

At this moment, You Jiang suddenly understood why the ancients loved to sacrifice spirits and monsters. Perhaps it was not entirely to pray for safety, but the ancients who had direct contact with spirits and monsters could appreciate the greatness of such creatures better, so they used singing, dancing, calligraphy and painting from the bottom of their hearts. Express your admiration.

In recent years, monks have advocated the concept that man will conquer heaven. They no longer have awe of immortals and gods, and believe that human beings are the masters of all things. They can become immortals and gods to control the world through hard work. They also sneer at ancient legends.

You Jiang also agreed with this concept in the past, but now with the improvement of his cultivation base, his understanding of the world has gradually broadened. Fang Jue's mentality is actually the arrogance of children after they get weapons. They think they have sharp weapons. The blade can make all things fearful, but they don't know that the one who is truly respected by the world is always the one who puts the sword back to its sheath.

You Jiang once wanted to test the sword, the world is at the top of the world, but now he has gradually returned to the sheath, such a change means that he is getting old, but maybe this is not a bad thing.At this time, although my heart was full of emotions, it was difficult to express it in words when facing Fu Hongye. I just touched the young man's finger lightly with a fan, expressing my approval in secret, and said as usual: "By the way, Have you made arrangements for Immortal Son of Heaven? Are you sure it won't suddenly go crazy?"

This is a serious matter. The Immortal Son of Heaven is a monster that is not inferior to the Heavenly Demon. It doesn't wake up very much. If it launches an attack in such a bustling city, even if the two of them work together to suppress it, it will inevitably cause casualties.

Fu Hongye had already dealt with this kind of trouble, and she didn't give You Jiang a chance to retreat, so she hooked the fan of the leader of the Demon Cult, and lightly rubbed the other's fingertips on the fan handle. As if he froze for a moment after being stimulated, he smiled and said: "There are still some gravels of the Xingyun Emperor in the Xingyao Spring. I used them as raw materials to refine the safest container, and there will be no problems."

It's not that they haven't held hands before, they even rolled over the bed once, but for some reason, You Jiang's face became a little hot when he gently rubbed against each other.Sleeping together when you are ruthless is still calm and composed. I didn’t think it was just a little emotional. I couldn’t help but follow the other person all the way just by looking at each other. I started to think about this person subconsciously, and I couldn’t say something that hurt others consciously. up.

In the end, You Jiang didn't shake off his hand, instead hooked the young man's little finger, and said nonchalantly, "Could it be another cloth tiger?"

"I am old friends with the Immortal Emperor, how can we treat it like this? The container for it is this."

Moxiu's little action made Fu Hongye's smile deepen, so he raised You Jiang's hand, took out a black tumbler and placed it in his palm.You Jiang lowered his eyes and saw that it was indeed safe enough, no matter how strong Emperor Immortal was, a rickety tumbler would not be able to eat people.

As an old friend, Fu Hongye really made the container for the Immortal Emperor himself. Of course, he also drew the pattern himself. He was self-aware and didn't dare to draw any complicated patterns. Meteorite fragments are inlaid in the meantime to complete the face.

After looking at this thing for a long time, it is still kind of weird and cute. You Jiang really couldn't praise his painting skills, so he could only twitch the corner of his mouth and sigh, "This way it didn't kill you, and the friendship between you ghosts is really strong."

It is true that this is because the Immortal Son of Heaven is still asleep when he transfers his spiritual consciousness, and he does not know what his reaction will be when he wakes up, but Fu Hongye smiled nonchalantly, rubbed his fingertips against You Jiang's palm, and his voice was full of the tenderness of spring wind and rain, " I'm really not good at painting, can senior teach me?"

This sound was not quite right, You Jiang only felt a hot air spread from the palm to the meridians all over his body, inexplicably his ears became hot, and even his heart beat a little faster.

Although this kind of reaction is unfamiliar to him, it is not uncommon. Jiang Fengzhi treated Mu Feng in the same way in the past. He would restrain his aristocratic temper and take the initiative to seek reconciliation with the young man, and he would violate the family rules just to accompany Mu Feng to the market. Even if you get annoyed, you can't bear to say a serious word, just sulk all night.It was the same at that time, sometimes the boy insisted on dragging him to the hot spring together, but after returning home he still felt the heat in his body lingering for a long time, and he couldn’t fall asleep because he tossed and turned under the blanket, all he could think about was the boy laughing in the mist Those eyes full of meaning, and that seemingly weak but unexpectedly strong body...

The long-awaited reunion gave You Jiang a feeling of nostalgia. He let the other party hold his hand, and let Fu Hongye draw the distance between the two of them closer. Although he wanted to maintain a calm expression, the lips could not be restrained. With a smile on his face, "If you have time, prepare a pen and paper and come to me. I should teach you. This drawing is too ugly."

The author has something to say: Immortal Son of Heaven: (⊙o⊙)

You Jiang (disgusted): The face you drew for your old friend is at this level?

Fu Hongye: At least the eyes and mouth can be seen, this is already my pinnacle work!

You Jiang: Don't give it a mirror, or you will lose this old friend forever.
