Japanese Hua Ye

The Pavilion of Remaining Gods is located on the Island of Remaining Gods among the thousands of floating islands in Zhongling of the God Realm. Going straight in is the main hall, and on the left is the Pavilion of Books, which houses all the books of the God Realm since the creation of the world by the Creator God. There are 32 floors in total. , [-] small rooms on each floor.On the right is Wangfengya, which is the place where the principal and deputy envoys of the Yishen Pavilion of all dynasties were appointed to take over.

The Pavilion of the Remaining God is not as cold and deserted as the Wanlin Hall on Minsheng Island. It has been controlled by the God of Destruction since ancient times, and it seems that there is a sense of majesty inside, which makes people worship.

The affairs of the God Realm will be reported to the Pavilion of the Gods of Remains.

Sui Ye and Jiang Ye were the last to arrive. Before them, Gu Ying, Jiang Zhou, Yu Mo, Chang Ming and Mo Shi were already waiting at the Pavilion of the God of Remains.

"Didn't you say that Sixth Senior Sister is back? Why didn't you see her?" Sui Ye asked, tugging at La and Modi's sleeves.

"Master Destroyer is reminiscing about the old days with her, after all, the master and the apprentice have not seen each other for so long." Yu Mo replied in a low voice.

Sui Ye suddenly thought of something, carefully glanced at Chang Ming who was indifferent, and lowered his voice a bit: "Second Senior Brother, do you think Master Fate will be too much stimulated?"

Yu Mo whispered to him: "You can ask the master yourself, I don't know."

Sui Ye gave him a disgusted look, and stood beside Jiang Ye again.

Not long after, Destruction came out with a white-haired woman in rouge-colored clothes.

The woman had calm eyebrows and bright features, her lips were almost exactly the same as Xing Miao's.The pupils are the same blue color as Changming, like emeralds.There is a cinnabar mole between the eyebrows, which is as red as blood.

It's strange, no matter how you look at this kind of appearance, it should be arrogant and arrogant, with a sense of arrogance and sharpness in it.But this woman seems to have lost all her sharpness, and her breath is so peaceful that it feels a bit inconsistent.

She is Hua Yao.

Suiye never expected that after ten thousand years of absence, Nan Chenghua Yao, who was once bright and arrogant, would turn into such a calm and peaceful appearance now.

She is obviously so proud, there used to be a lot of light on her body.

Sure enough, the death of the senior brother still hit her too much?Years and nights.

Huo Huo glanced around and asked, "Where's Xing Miao?"

Sui Ye noticed that when he heard the word "Xing Miao", Hua Yao's eyes fluctuated, and he unconsciously showed a gentle expression.

She still cares about this son.

As soon as Destroyer finished speaking, a person rushed in at the door, his handsome and gentle face was full of anxiety, and the cinnabar between his eyebrows was as red as blood.

It's Xing Miao.

"Miaomiao is here." Mo Shi greeted him with a smile.

Xing Miao hurriedly saluted: "Master Destroyer, Lord Order, Lord Destiny, Chief Envoy, Deputy Envoy." Then she looked at Hua Yao with teary eyes: "Mother..."

This mother's cry made Hua Yao's heart tremble, and finally there was a crack in her calm expression, "Xing Miao?"

Xingmiao's tears flowed down one after another, completely forgetting the prudence that Jue Yang taught him on weekdays.

Ruin seemed to sigh, and let Hua Yao take Xing Miao to the room behind the main hall.

When mother and child meet, there is always a lot to say.

What's more, from birth to now, Xing Miao has only seen portraits of his mother, and when she was a child, she drank tiger milk that Jue Yang found.

Only then did Destroyer turn his gaze, and glanced at Sui Ye's face: "Sui Ye, Huo Yu, have you thought of any way?"

Sui Ye looked up in astonishment, with a blank expression: "Are you asking me?"

Master Destroyer, are you insane, you ask me?

Ruin didn't speak, just looked at him, with some impatience in his purple eyes.

Sui Ye quickly put away that foolish expression, and replied respectfully: "Huoyu, we should first figure out the internal structure of the rebel organization."

Destruction seemed to be a little relieved and nodded: "What else?"

Sui Ye had no choice but to bite the bullet and continued: "The demon soldiers are still eyeing tigers, and Li Zong's defense cannot be relaxed, and people should be guarded." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Jue Yanghe and Mo.

"Didn't you two stay in Li Zong? Why did you come back?" Sui Ye thought angrily.

Destruction nodded, then turned to Jiang Ye: "What's your opinion?"

Jiang Ye, who was suddenly named, was not surprised at all. He was completely different from Sui Ye's startled temperament. He replied flatly: "There is indeed some trouble on the side of Huoyu. Endless Sea is located between Xiling and Nanling. At the big gap, the sinners from the fire domain were the first to attack Nanling. But the relationship between them may not be as indestructible as we thought, maybe we can attack from the inside."

Ruin gave him an approving glance, and smiled at Mo Shi: "The rising star in the God Realm is amazing."

Mo Yi couldn't figure out what the moody God of Destruction meant, so he just smiled and said nothing.

Sui Ye didn't understand anymore, and he didn't dare to whisper to Yu Mo and Jue Yang in front of Destroyer, so he could only make eye contact: "Second Senior Brother, what do you mean by Destroyer?"

Yu Mo handed back a look: "I don't know, get out!"

Sui Ye gave Jue Yang another look, the beauty Jue Yang didn't want to pay attention to him at all, she stood like a pine with her hands behind her back.

Sui Ye felt abandoned by the whole world.

Fortunately, Ruin is still normal today. He took off his black cloak, revealing the lavender costume inside.

"Death and the contract haven't arrived yet, wait a little longer." Huo Huo went to the front seat and sat down, Mo Shi and Chang Ming took their seats, and the others could only stand.

Sui Ye pulled Jiang Ye: "I feel like something big is about to happen."

Jiang Ye glanced at him, raised one of his fingers to his lips, and made a silent movement.

Sui Ye immediately became honest and did not make small moves.

His intuition told him that something big was going to happen.

Destruction, fate, contract, order, death, and desire all gathered together, as if to make a major decision.

About... the fate of the gods in general.

Not long after, Bai Xun came with Qian Ruqianlie, Sui Ye didn't understand why they also came, but Master Huo Huo didn't seem surprised at all, presumably she invited them here.

Bai Xun was not polite, and sat directly next to Chang Ming: "Second Sister."

Chang Ming didn't have such an indifferent expression towards him, after all, Bai Xun was born to her mother and was her most beloved younger brother.

Unlike the God of Sin, Zhao Xihuang, who is not a mother to them, and has been unwilling to get close to them since childhood, it was Chang Ming who took the initiative to contact her.

Qian Ru and Qian Lie stood behind Bai Xun, Qian Lie still had that withdrawn look, but his appearance was unparalleled.

Qianru is somewhat similar to him, so beautiful that it is almost impossible to move one's eyes away.

Sui Ye couldn't help being a little envious of his sixth senior sister, the apprentices he took in were prettier than the other.

"How did Sixth Senior Sister's apprentice come with His Majesty Bai Xun?" Sui Ye asked Jue Yang.

Jue Yang: "His Majesty Bai Xun fell in love with Qian Lie, so he brought Qian Ru with him to teach."

Yu Mo interjected softly: "However, Qian Ru's talent is not inferior to Hua Yao's, and he no longer needs to be taught. His Majesty Bai Xun just wanted to find a reason to bring Qian Lie with him."

Jue Yang snorted softly, as if to say: "Die Duanxiu!"

Sui Ye couldn't help feeling emotional: "I've been in the human world for ten thousand years, but the God Realm is full of broken sleeves."

But he didn't dare to say this in front of Jue Yang and so many people.

Not long after, the God of Death and the God of Contract came in.

The God of Contract is a woman who looks old-fashioned and serious. In fact, she not only looks so old-fashioned and serious, but she also doesn't know how Ze Shengbi, who loves gossip, endures such a master.

In contrast, the god of death, Lu Wei, is an extremely inconspicuous person, with the youthful appearance of a [-]-year-old girl, but inside is the heart of a thousand-year-old tree demon.

From afar, Lu Wei waved at Mie Mie: "I don't think so, Xiao Mie Mie?"

Taking a glance with Mo Mo, the corners of his eyes seemed to twitch when he saw Destruction.

Sui Ye and Jue Yang felt goosebumps all over their bodies when they heard this name for the first time, and shivered involuntarily, compared to the others who were much calmer.

In fact, Jiang Ye had never heard of this name before, but even if he lost his memory, he was still a wood with emotions and anger, and he didn't react much.

The contract frowned, and looked at Lu Wei dissatisfiedly: "How decent is it to yell at such an occasion?"

Lu Wei didn't want to pay attention to her at all, and hopped and sat down next to Huo De, completely without the majesty of the Lord of the Underworld, so innocent as a young girl who hadn't left the court.

But in fact, this god of death is notoriously ruthless, and the word innocent has never been associated with her.

At this time, Hua Yao also came out with Xing Miao.Xingmiao's eyes were red, she was holding on to Huayao's sleeve tightly and refused to let go, like a child.

That's right, he has never experienced what it's like to act like a baby with his mother since he was a child.It's a bit late now, but fortunately it's not too late.

Destroyed saw that everyone was here, and his face became much better: "Then let's talk about business. Now the God of Sin has summoned Xihuang to rebel against the God Realm, and the God of Creation has denied her position and taken back the power of creation. The position of God is vacant, and the envoy of mercy, Zhao Rendai, defected from the God Realm, and the position is also vacant. The rising star in the God Realm is amazing, and it's time to come out and take on the heavy responsibility."

The contract nodded in agreement: "There must not be too many vacancies in the positions of the eight ancient gods, and it is time to fill them."

Lu Wei didn't care at all: "Whatever, Xiao Mie Mie, are you free tonight? I'll come to play with you!"

Her nonsense was automatically ignored by Destruction, and Destruction beckoned to Qianru: "Come here."

Qian Ru is not withdrawn like Qian Lie, who doesn't like to talk to people.On the contrary, she has been taken by Yuliang all the time, with a bit of Yuliang's tact.

She walked up to Destroyer, and saluted generously: "Master Zu." Her gestures were generous and graceful, and she was very satisfied to see Destroyer.

Qian Ru saluted Hua Yao again: "Master."

Hua Yao nodded and looked at the apprentice whose memory was already blurred.

"You deserve the position of God of Judgment." Destroyed glanced at the people below. They were surprised and suspicious when they heard this sentence, but there was no objection.

Qianru lowered his head, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Since that's the case, you can go and experience the doom of the God of Judgment." With a wave of Huo Huo's big hand, it was a foregone conclusion that Qian Ru would sit on the God of Judgment.

Qianru took the order to retreat, and Yujian went to the Temple of Judgment.She has long been recognized by the Judgment God, and now it is just a formality.

Sui Ye looked at her back, feeling quite emotional.

A rising star in the God Realm is truly remarkable.

"What's more, the God of Creation has approved the position of the God of Destiny to confer Changming's life envoy, and Changming will decide." Destroyer suddenly remembered something, and added: "The God of Destiny The seat of God is about to be vacated, and tomorrow the juniors will be sent to the Temple of Destiny to accept the test of the seat of God."

Sui Ye thought: "My apprentice has a chance!"

After Ruo Huo said these words, he seemed to be tired and slipped away leisurely.

When Lu Wei saw her slip away, he followed Ruo Zhuo upright.

Chang Ming took the position of destruction, and now she can already bear the title of "Master Creator".

"The position of envoy of compassion for life will be assumed by the deputy envoy of the Remaining God Pavilion, Feng Zhao Jiang Ye," Chang Ming said.

Sui Ye turned his head to look at Jiang Ye, the latter didn't show any joy on his face, rather flattered or humiliated, he saluted and said, "Obey."

Sui Ye thought: "My wife is amazing!"

In this way, the position of Deputy Envoy of the Remaining God Pavilion was vacated.

The priests of the Remaining God Pavilion are all appointed by the God of Destruction, and Sui Ye feels that this position seems to be Xingmiao.

He followed Jiang Ye out of the God of Remains Pavilion, but accidentally saw Bai Xun walking in front with his hands on Qian Lie's waist, and suddenly felt that he saw something he shouldn't have seen.

"Let's go, Jiang Ye, let's go to Nanling." Sui Ye pushed Jiang Ye and left.

The region of the Four Ridges in the southeast, northwest, and north of the God Realm is almost connected. There is only a big "gap" between the South Ridge and the West Ridge. It is the place where the Endless Sea and the Four Ridges border. area.

The sinners in the fire domain seemed to have reached some kind of deal, and one person would lead the attack on Nanling very regularly, as if it had been rehearsed thousands of times.

Nanling King City is closer to the Endless Sea than Xiling, which is one of the reasons why the sinners from Fire Domain attacked Nanling first.

The more important reason is that the desolation and loneliness of the fire domain were all caused by the flames of the ten-tailed golden phoenix clan in Nanling.

This enmity can be described as irreconcilable.

To deal with the lunatics in Huoyu who have been imprisoned for many years, ordinary magic soldiers can't count on it, so these high-ranking gods can only be used.

Nanling has always adhered to the principle of "retiring from the world" in Siling. Back then, he and Mo worshiped Chang Ming as their teacher and were almost expelled from the house.Nanling's rules are very strict, almost sticking to the rules.

This time, Nanling's principle of avoiding the world has also been loosened, at least he will take the initiative to seek help from the God of Remains Pavilion.

Sui Ye and Jiang Ye always seem to be the slowest, at least Jue Yang and Yu Mo are always ahead of them.

Jiang Zhou also came, and Gu Ying was arrested by her master, the god of contract, and gave a lecture.

"Could it be just a few of us?" Sui Ye asked worriedly.

Jiang Zhou: "No, there is also Nanling Emperor Shaojun. Jueyang is here at Beiling, and his father is coming too. Dongling can't spare people, and Xueyu said their king will come. "

"What happened to Dongling?" Sui Ye couldn't help asking.

"I'm looking for someone." Jue Yang's eyes were deep, and there seemed to be a bit of sarcasm in his tone: "Ren Dai came back from the calamity and brought a son, who was born with a mortal, named Fu Yougu. His Majesty Bai Xun has always If you refuse to admit this child, you can leave it alone in Dongling, and now you are looking for him to threaten Rendai."

Sui Ye didn't understand: "This Fu... Fu's child is the grandson of His Majesty Bai Xun, right? Threatening his daughter with his own grandson?"

Jue Yang: "It's Fu Yougu. His Majesty Bai Xun has always been a tough person, never talking about personal relationships with his children. From a certain point of view, this is also the characteristic of a man from the Dongling Sacred Dragon Clan." He pointedly He glanced at Jiang Ye and Jiang Zhou.

Jiang Ye didn't react much, but Jiang Zhou was not happy: "Tangyu, what do you mean?"

Jue Yang gave him a noble and glamorous look: "I don't know who was caught by the third senior sister while visiting the Xianglou by the North Ridge."

Jiang Ye finally had a response: "Where is Panxiang Tower?"

The beauty Jueyang also gave him a glance: "You don't know? That place is very good. I think I went with the fourth brother back then, and Xiaoye, right?"

Jiang Ye looked at Sui Ye suspiciously, and the latter threw himself on Jue Yang and covered his mouth: "You talk too much!"

Jiang Ye vaguely understood what was going on, and didn't say a word.

Satisfied, Jue Yang, who had successfully picked things up, folded his arms and looked at the scenery.

The scenery inside the Nanling Palace is really nothing to say, and I don’t know that the emperor who built this palace thought so, and built it directly on the cliff.

The cliff is as high as a thousand blades, and it is ten thousand feet long. The palace of Nanling was built on this place called Waiting Songya.

Looking from the cliff corridor, there are clouds and mist, the emerald green of the pines in the mountains is looming, and birds pass by from time to time.

Not long after, Gu Ying also came, her face looked haggard.

"Are you all right, Third Senior Sister?" Sui Ye asked.

Gu Ying waved her hand: "It's okay, let me take it easy."

Sui Ye noticed that Jiang Zhou's gaze hadn't rested on Gu Ying, he was a little strange.

Didn't Fu Zhuang get them back?Why haven't you reconciled yet?

Strange is strange, Sui Ye is not free enough to ask.

After Huayao also came, Nanling Emperor Bei Yanlang came late.

Nanling Dijun is the only female emperor in Siling, and the only female emperor since the birth of God Realm.

Bei Yanlang has a lot of prestige in Nanling, and few people can disobey her in Nanling.Bei Yanlang was more or less displeased when he had to ask for help from the God of Remains Pavilion this time.

Especially since her son's current status is still higher than hers.

"Lord Desire, Lord Chief Envoy, Lord Deputy Envoy." Bei Yanlang just nodded slightly, without saluting.

Fortunately, they didn't care about these things, Sui Ye bent slightly: "His Majesty the Southern Emperor."

"Ye Wang Jun is polite." This time he didn't even nod his head.

Sui Ye knew the temper of His Majesty the Southern Emperor. She was able to stand out among the eighteen children of the previous Nanling Emperor. A woman sitting on the throne of the Emperor of the Southern Ridge was a bit arrogant no matter what.

Sui Ye thought: "It's a pity, I ran into my Seventh Senior Brother."

Sure enough, when Jue Yang saw Bei Yanlang's attitude, regardless of whether she was the biological mother of Mo, he immediately became unhappy: "The attitude of His Majesty the Southern Emperor made this envoy doubt Nanling's sincerity."

Look, the deputy envoy of Yishen Pavilion has raised his airs.Suiye thought, there is a good show to watch.

Bei Yanlang's forehead twitched: "Nanling sincerely asks for your help."

Jue Yang wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yu Mo's eyes, and he let out a soft hum from his nose, and fell silent.

"Mother, the new God of Judgment and God of Death will come tomorrow." Even though he was almost kicked out of the house that year, Yu Mo still recognized his mother.

Hearing his name, Bei Yanlang's face gradually softened: "Since that's the case, I've wronged you all to spend the night in the Nanling Palace."

"Xie Nandi His Majesty's kindness." From the corner of Sui Ye's eyes, he saw Jue Yang's lips moving slightly, and quickly took the conversation away.

Sure enough, Jue Yang took a cool look at Sui Ye, which made Sui Ye feel hairy.

This can't be blamed on Jue Yang, when he and Mo were beaten out of Nanling by his mother, it was Jue Yang who picked him up.

According to what the elder brother said back then, no one could bear to see Yu Mo's miserable appearance at that time.But his mother was really so determined to throw him out of Nanling and ignore it.

Jue Yang had no parental love since she was a child, she was brought up by her cousin Chan Yang, and she hated other people's parents beating their children the most.

From then on, Jue Yang hated Bei Yanlang from the bottom of his heart.

At night, Sui Ye sneaked out of the room and sat on the highest roof of Nanling Palace to watch the moon.

After a while, Hua Yao also came.

"Senior Sister Six still remember our secret code?" Sui Ye laughed.

Hua Yao sat down beside him, holding a small paper figurine in his hand: "You drew it, the highest place."

Sui Ye took the little paper figurine, saw a hill painted on it and smiled: "Senior Sister Six is ​​so smart." A cluster of fingertip fires sprang up, burning the little paper figurine to ashes.

"Don't praise me, you're just sweet-talking and sweet-talking." Hua Yao smiled, and suddenly looked a little lonely: "Xiao Ye, you found Zhigui, didn't you?"

Sui Ye's smile froze, and he said nonchalantly: "He is not a senior brother, he is my apprentice."

Hua Yao laughed, this kid is still so stubborn.

"Jue Yang told me everything, you can't hide it." Hua Yao reached out and rubbed Sui Ye's head.

Sui Ye thought: "Ji Li Jue Yang, you traitor!"

But there was no flaw on his face: "Sixth senior sister, you know better than me that he is not a senior brother."

Hua Yao: "I know."

"Then you still come to ask me?" Sui Ye was puzzled, Sixth Senior Sister was by no means someone who would never let go after arrest, only Jue Yang was the only one like this.

Hua Yao raised her head, the moonlight shone on her face, and in the night, her profile was almost breathtakingly beautiful.

Sui Ye almost suspected that the reason why the senior brother who was pure and ascetic back then fell in love with the sixth senior sister was because of this face.

It is really bright and gorgeous, although it cannot compare with Jue Yang's peerless beauty, but it also has a unique temperament.

It's like... the most ardent flower in Beiling, bright and moving, with unparalleled arrogance.

"I'm just... not reconciled..." Hua Yao's voice was very low, and Sui Ye almost thought he was hallucinating.

He thought Hua Yao would say things like "I can't let go" and "I can't forget", but he didn't expect her to say "I can't be reconciled".

So it turns out that the elder brother is just a pity for her?

Hua Yao went on to say: "Back then I said I would go to the human world to experience calamity, but he didn't agree, so we had a fight. So later he went to save you, but I didn't go with him."

"Who would have thought he would die there..."

Back then, she was heartbroken and her hair turned white overnight.If it wasn't for knowing that Xing Miao was there later, I'm afraid he would have gone with the ghost.

Sui Ye's heart suddenly tightened, that memory has always been a lingering nightmare in his heart, entangled him tightly.

Even if Jiang Ye is by his side now and Qi Zhuo is already his apprentice, that memory still cannot be recalled.

It was as if the scabbed wound had been severely torn open, and the flesh and blood that was about to fester inside was exposed to the sun with nowhere to hide.

It's so scary, it's inevitable.

"Sixth Senior Sister..." Sui Ye called her softly, but there was no more text.

Hua Yao gave him a bleak smile: "Actually, I let go of it a long time ago, it's just that I'm not reconciled..."

You die before I tell you how much I love you.

I am not reconciled to having traveled the three thousand worlds for so many years without even hearing from you.

I am not reconciled to the mistake of thinking back then, which made me lose you forever.

Zhigui, I'm just...not reconciled!

Hua Yao stood up, and the evening wind made her rouge-colored robe flutter.At that moment, Sui Ye had a feeling that she was clearly close at hand, but seemed out of reach.

Sui Ye called out with some worry: "Sixth Senior Sister?"

"Xiao Ye, Jiang Ye treats you very well." Hua Yao asked suddenly, Sui Ye was caught off guard.

"Ah, yes, very good." He replied.

"You guys have gone through all kinds of hardships, how could he not look down on us brothers and sisters back then." Hua Yao smiled softly.

Sui Ye smiled embarrassedly: "What's the matter, I am satisfied that he is willing to be with me now, the past has passed, I don't want to mention it again. Besides, Jiang Ye at that time... It’s not the same person now.”

Jiang Ye had already forgotten everything, and he traded these memories for Sui Ye's life.

Sui Ye thought, no matter what he became, she would fall in love with him.

After a long silence, Hua Yao suddenly said: "Be happy."

Her voice was low, and Sui Ye couldn't hear it clearly, so she couldn't help but "ah?"

Hua Yao shook her head, did not repeat, but said: "I will go back to the Demon Realm to see what my good-for-nothing brother has eaten, dared to collude with the Demon Realm."

The lifespan of the royal family in the demon world is no more than 5 years, which is why both Jue Yang's mother and Chang Ming's mother died young.

When Hua Yao said these words, the tenderness between her eyebrows and eyes when she was reminiscing with Sui Ye just now disappeared without a trace.Instead, the majesty and coldness of the God of Desire.

She is the God of Desire, not Sixth Senior Sister.

But New Year's Eve just couldn't change his mouth.

Sui Ye watched her leave, but just as he stood up, he found Jiang Ye standing behind him.

Sui Ye's smile was a little tired: "Why are you here?"

Jiang Ye didn't speak, just looked at him fixedly.

Behind Suiye is the moonlight, and there is a cliff as high as [-] ren, and there are people's shadows passing by in the promenade on the opposite cliff from time to time.

Sui Ye's fair and handsome face suddenly became refined, with a pair of dimples appearing on his face, looking gentle and affectionate.

When he looked at himself, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to drown him in it.

"Sui Ye, go back." He said.

Sui Ye tilted his head and looked at him: "Aren't you wondering why I left you alone to meet Sixth Senior Sister?"

Jiang Ye walked over and held his hand: "Why should I be curious? You have your reasons for not telling me. Let's go, go back."

Sui Ye suddenly felt at ease, no matter how turbulent the God Realm was, with this person by his side, he would have nothing to fear.

"Okay!" Sui Ye blinked, took a step behind Jiang Ye, and threw himself on his back: "Carry me back!"

Jiang Ye laughed, grabbed his knees with both hands and brought him up: "Okay, I will carry you back."

Jue Yang, who couldn't sleep and came out for a walk on the opposite corridor, watched the two of them return to their room, and crushed the flowers that he picked up casually.

Jue Yang: "..."

dog man man!

The angry deputy envoy, Ji Li Jue Yang, was so angry that he couldn't sleep, so he flew over, sat in the place where Sui Ye and Hua Yao Ye had talked just now, and meditated all night.
