Smile and swing sword

This [-]th birthday, Yun Gu felt that it was a rare joy in his life, the youngest son used to be stubborn and often suffered from headaches, but now Chi Shen has made great progress, which made his heart troubles go away and his whole body feels at ease.

Yun Miao Yunliu presented a birthday gift, which was meticulously prepared at first glance, and Chi Shen also took out Xingleiyun to present, "Fortunately, I got this treasure by chance in the Owl Kiss' Nest, otherwise my son really didn't have a congratulatory gift that could be handed out, but in terms of Thoughts, but it’s still a bit short of the two elder brothers.”

Hua Ruyun secretly wondered, even though my son has opened his eyes, he is still quite gratifying. In the past, when he saw Yun Miaoyun Liu, he would raise his eyebrows and look bad, but now he knows how to say something to save his brother's face. It's rare, could it be that this Xiang Tianyou is really a lucky star for my son, and he has given everything to him?

Yungu said hello repeatedly, and the whole room exchanged pleasantries again, and after lunch, they went to do what they should do. Chi Shen was dissatisfied that Xiang Tianyou was arranged in the guest room, but he still had to obey the rules, not good If you meddle indiscriminately, you can only give up.In order to discuss with Yungu, Ling Yu deliberately went down the mountain several days in advance, and Hua Ruyun was busy arranging the big and small things needed for the birthday, so he had no time to take care of Chi Shen, so Chi Shen was so happy to find Tianyou to wander around every day.

It's a pity that the original owner of his body was not up to the mark. When he went out, he either met old friends or enemies.

Although Xiang Tianyou was also annoyed that he liked to have fun with those same-smelling dandies when he was ineffective, but he couldn't bear to see that his mind was not in good spirits. It happened that there was a mortal village near Tongyuan Town where Baihua Villa was located, and the Lantern Reception was being held It was so lively that they invited Chi Shen to join in the fun.

Chi Shen naturally readily agreed, and disguised himself with Xiang Tianyou, only pretending to be a son of a well-to-do rich family, restrained his cultivation and went to the mortal village.

Speaking of the mortal villages of Jiyuan, there are some around every town. Although cultivators don’t want to be with mortals, they can’t easily kill innocent people. Sanctions are taken, so cultivators and mortals have always lived in peace, and there are few conflicts.

The two walked side by side for a while, which made Chi Shen feel a bit of the life in Xuanyuan back then. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When passing by a lantern stall, his mind was even more complicated, thinking of Wang Heidan who was far away in another world He was very sad with the parting promise that he never had the chance to fulfill, but he said with a smile on his face: "It's already here, why don't you buy a lantern and go back."

Xiang Tianyou scanned all kinds of lanterns on the stall, and said: "In terms of craftsmanship, it is still passable. I didn't know that Brother Yun likes this, just like a child."

There were just three or five immature children around the lantern stand, chewing on snacks and staring at the lantern, reluctant to leave. Although they each got some copper coins from their parents during the festival, the snacks for the gluttons I spent more than half of it, and I can only afford the cheapest lotus paper lanterns if I want to buy lanterns at this moment.

One of the pretty little girls with apricot eyes and slightly round pink lips and cheeks turned her head to look at a boy with a tiger head and a tiger head beside her, and asked softly and childishly: "Brother, brother, which one do you like?"

The boy rolled his eyes slightly, touched his pockets, and hummed, "Of course I like the biggest one." The lantern he was talking about was hung on the highest part of the wooden pole, and it was a golden spirit holding a rouge peach. Monkey, a cluster of candles dangled and stood on the bitten fairy peach. This golden monkey lantern is complicated in workmanship, and it is made of lacquered peach wood, which can prevent insects, ants and wind and rain. It is not easy to preserve like paper lanterns. The picture is fresh for a while, so the price is extremely expensive.

The little girl frowned, and said honestly: "Brother, do we have enough copper coins?"

The boy was poked at the center, his face was slightly red, and he asked the little girl, "How much do you have left?"

The little girl took out the copper plates and counted them carefully in the palm of her hand, and replied, "There are six more."

The boy took out his pocket, and found that there was one less than his sister, so he couldn't help feeling very discouraged, and put the only five copper coins into the girl's hands: "Forget it, I'll give you all, just buy what you want." With a happy smile, he shouted sweetly to the stall owner, "Uncle, I want a Jade Rabbit lantern."

Although the boy made generous concessions, he was still a child at heart, kicking the stone with his head down, his face full of unhappiness that his wish had not been fulfilled.

Chi Shen looked amused, and then touched his mind, and said softly to Xiang Tianyou: "I know who to give the lantern to."

Xiang Tianyou saw that the boy's skin was dark, he looked like Wang Heidan five points, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. When he came back to his senses, he had already held Chi Shen with his hand. Seeing that he was puzzled, he suddenly made up his mind and said, "No need. Fei Qian, I happened to be carrying a golden monkey lantern, and I gave it to him." After saying that, before the people around noticed, he turned his hand and took out a lantern with a completely different style from the storage jade.

This monkey soars through the clouds and looks into the distance. Although it is only the size of a palm, it is exquisite and unusual. There is a soft golden light in its two eyes, majestic. The good-looking pine yellow luminous stone can shine in the dark, but because the color is yellowish, practitioners don't like to use it for lighting, but it is definitely not a precious gemstone that ordinary people can afford.

Chi Shen's thoughts changed sharply, and he asked foolishly, "This...Did this brother make it himself?"

Xiang Tianyou nodded slightly, took two steps forward and patted the boy's shoulder, raised the colored lantern to chat and laugh with him, and saw the little boy's eyes brightened, he hurriedly pulled the golden monkey into his arms, and frowned again thinking After thinking about it, he took out the few snacks left, stuffed them into Xiang Tianyou's hands, and then ran away with the little girl.

Xiang Tianyou didn't expect this, he took the snacks and couldn't laugh or cry, he was in good spirits, picked one up and tasted it, it tasted good, he turned around and wanted to feed Chi Shen some, but he saw the man standing in a daze not far away Looking at himself, his eyes glowed with a layer of water, which was especially sad and sad in the night, he couldn't help being startled in his heart, and approached with concern in two or three steps: "What's wrong?"

Chi Shen didn't answer but asked instead: "Brother spent a lot of thought on making this spirit monkey lantern, why don't you feel reluctant to give it to a little baby who has never met before?"

Xiang Tianyou frowned, and said: "Don't say that the person you want to gift is no longer there, even if it is, it's okay. I have carved a total of ten such lanterns. I'm afraid I can't come up with better ones for him. What's more ...Now that Brother Yun is by my side, there are some things in the past that I should swallow."

Chi Shen raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes flickered, and suddenly a plan came to his mind, and he suggested: "Look at these children, they are so lively and innocent, but it's a pity that their family background is only ordinary, and they can only look at the lanterns but can't afford good ones. Since brother Saying that the past has been put aside, why don't you take out the golden monkey lantern you carved, let's set up a stall in a remote place, give it to the children of poor families, and add fun to this trip, will you agree?"

It would be a bit false to say that there is no hesitation in giving away all the lanterns that have been devoted to the painstaking efforts, but Xiang Tianyou just stared at Chi Shen with a smile after a little thought: "It is said that some people love beauties. I am willing to give away my family property or country, so why not me with a few lanterns."

The two of them did it on a whim, and found a secluded place far away to set up a simple long table, and a few lively golden monkey lanterns of different shapes were lined up. Shen would beckon over and ask him to choose at will. With the first one, the next one was almost snatched up by the children watching from a distance. It was like honey, even Xiang Tianyou was amused to laugh frequently.

Presenting the lantern is only a matter of a cup of tea, but it was getting late, and the two of them were not in a hurry to rush back to Baihua Mountain Villa. They closed the stall and wandered around looking for an inn to stay. The night sky makes people stop unconsciously.

"It's the first time we've seen such a spectacular scene of fireworks since we ascended to Jiyuan."

Chi Shen's thoughts were not on the fireworks, but instead he asked: "The ten golden monkey lanterns that my brother said, but actually only took out nine, did you not bring the other one with you?"

Xiang Tianyou looked down at him, and after a moment of silence, he replied: "The nine lamps sent out are specially made for Baodi, and if they are scattered, it is equivalent to dispersing this long-awaited depression. The remaining one But I kept the lamp for myself. When I first ascended to the Jiyuan Continent, I searched everywhere for my treasured brother, and I couldn’t sleep at night, so I put my heart on the lamp.”

Halfway through the conversation, Xiang Tianyou took out the monkey lantern, Chi Shen took a look, and found that the lantern was carved out of stubborn stone, a spirit monkey squatted on the boulder and looked up into the distance, his eyes were rather deep, revealing a hopeful look, There was nothing else, and a sense of loneliness was overwhelming.

"I know that the hope of finding Baodi is slim, but I specially picked the most difficult to carve indestructible stones. This kind of hard stones are not afraid of the sun and the moon. Lost vitality and gradually weakened, so it is almost impossible to make a lamp, but it left me with a lot of hope, always wishing to find a rare treasure that can restrain the stubborn stone and make a real golden monkey color Light, Baodi will come back to me."

Tears flickered in Chi Shen's eyes, and he felt that Xiang Tianyou's past friendship was as deep as the sea, and he had suffered from ten years of lovesickness, and not only did he not reveal his identity as soon as possible, but he covered up his random suspicions more, and felt regretful and ashamed for a while. Gritting his teeth in pain, he asked, "What if you can't find the treasure that lights up the stone monkey for the rest of your life?"

Xiang Tianyou smiled loudly, pulled Chi Shen's arm and put the stone monkey into his hand, "Didn't you already find it?"

There was a roar in Chi Shen's head, his ears were buzzing, his heart was hot, and he couldn't care anymore, so he blurted out and asked, "Then Yunpeng's blood, brother, does it feel good after drinking it?"
