Taoist priests are above, monsters are below

There is one main hall, four or nine side halls, four high pavilions, twenty water pavilions, countless jade-step railings, corridors winding for thousands of miles, ponds filled with hibiscus, Langyuan with countless fairy flowers in the east, flying fairy butterflies and bees, and fairy trees in the west. There are thousands of fresh fruits, hanging from the branches and hanging down, behind which there are misty flying peaks and hundreds of floating fairy islands.

Ever since Yunqi entered the Xuandu Yujing, he has counted the gold bricks in the Immortal Mansion, looked at them from the southeast to the north, and kept them in his heart, and made arrangements for them. In the end, the peach blossom was left to him Small courtyards scattered all over the ground.There is no wind, no dust, no change of seasons, the sky is always so blue and flawless, like washing, clouds pass by every day, cranes visit every day, and the petals on the ground are layered thick, like snow.

Yun Qi sits on the soft falling flowers and looks up at the sky. The black gold mask is still attached to the face, revealing the real ugly face. The black hair is no longer bothering, and it is scattered freely. The black clothes are neat, but you can only see loneliness .

The ink black in the pink, silent, quiet, lonely and weak.

"Walk together?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked.

Looking at the prominent familiar face, Yun Qi felt a little dazed in the backlight, and he couldn't help letting someone pull him up by the hand, and followed behind, walking the road that he had just counted, the bridge he had just crossed, and the pavilions he had just walked through .

"Tianzun, I'm rude" Yun Qi said, and quickly withdrew his scalded hand, his heartless body trembling under the pull of the soul.

"It doesn't matter," Yuan Yuan Tianzun said, seeing Yunqi's usual restraint in his eyes, he couldn't say words of comfort, couldn't make soothing gestures, and finally took Yunqi to the fruit forest in the west, picking fresh fruits together to pass the time.

Yun Qi followed Yuanshi Tianzun silently, always at a distance of three steps, unhurried, like a puppet being manipulated, so polite, even if the overripe fruit on the branch fell and hit the head, it would not change Movement, unaware of external affairs, even unaware of the person in front.

"It's about to hit," Yuanshi Tianzun said, and supported the person who had already hit into his chest.

"Don't apologize," Yuan Yuan Tianzun said.

Yun Qi was embarrassed, and the words he was about to speak were blocked in his mouth, and he hung his head in silence, his messy hair covered Wu Jin's face.

"Are you blaming me for being so muddled every day?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked.

How many days have passed, and he has never seen Yun Qi laughing, and the daily conversation does not exceed five sentences, and three of them are "I'm rude" and "Please forgive me". There are many rumors about corpse demons in the world. , but it is very different from the one in his house, where there is cruelty, where there is bloodthirsty, where there is decisiveness, there is only silence, only depression, only depression.

"Tianzun forgive me, but Yunqi dare not," Yunqi said, respectful and never rude.

Sure enough, it was this sentence again, Yuanshi Tianzun said in his heart.

"Yunqi, I brought you into Yujing, Xuandu, not to let you give up on yourself," Yuanshi Tianzun said.

"Yunqi understands, thank you Tianzun for your guidance" Yunqi said, with all the etiquette, and what he said was impeccable.

"Let's go, the water lilies in the lake are blooming, let's go and have a look," Yuanshi Tianzun said, feeling powerless.

The lotus leaf is as big as a full moon, covering the lake, and you can walk on it without worrying about falling into the water. When you step on it, your steps will be floating and swaying with the water waves.A blue-purple water lily with thousands of petals lies quietly in it, and the lotus heart refracts light, forming halos and halos, filling it with mystery and temptation.

"Look at that place," Yuanshi Tianzun said, "there will be blue butterflies flying over later."

Yun Qi looked in the direction of Yuanshi Tianzun's finger, and sure enough, palm-sized blue butterflies flew over, dragging their long tail feathers, and sprinkled fine light spots, flying and circling among the lotus flowers, teasing each other, and forming pairs.

"Can you still see it?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked.

"Well, it's very beautiful, not ordinary," Yun Qi said.

The two stood side by side on the lotus leaf, without speaking, and watched the butterflies for about half an hour.

"Go, go ahead and have a look, it's still a bit novel," Yuanshi Tianzun said, opening the way ahead, stepping on the lotus leaves.

Yun Qi followed closely behind, not missing three steps.

Near the center of the lake, the water surface is smooth and sparkling.

"Clap your hands and try," Yuanshi Tianzun said.

Yun Qi did as he did, not doubting him, but instinctively trusting him.

After a while, the water surface churned and the waves curled up. Groups of golden carps emerged from the water and walked in groups, just like the flying geese in autumn, posing in different shapes, lively and comfortable.

"Look," Yuanshi Tianzun said, and saw that he tapped his finger lightly, and the water jets shot up into the sky, forming dragon gates.

Carps jump, pass by, and then fall, splashing water splashes, clattering, one passing by, two following up, or in groups of three or four, or alone, so happy and lively.

"Tianzun, speak up if you have something to say," Yun Qi said.

Yuanshi Tianzun took him to see so many rare scenes in the world, showing his intention of enlightenment, and even a little bit of flattery.

Yuanshi Tianzun tapped the water surface again, the fish sank, and everything returned to calm.

"Do you want to stay and live in Xuandu Yujing for the rest of your life?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked.

If Yun Qi has been living like this, I am afraid that he will ruin his Taoism and fall by himself after hundreds of years.

"I don't know, maybe I thought about it," Yun Qi said.

"Are you complaining that I have not been able to remember you?" Yuanshi Tianzun said, he understood the reason why Yunqi was in chaos every day.

Yun Qi shook his head, he does not complain, because there is no basis for resentment, Yuanshi Tianzun is not Yan Lv, he has no memory of Yan Lv, nor love for him, he cannot force this Venerable to treat him like Yan Lv, And I have no right to blame him for failing, just because he is him and he is not him.

"Yunqi, I can understand your thoughts. Before I remember you, I will never be your strict law. Even if I have the same appearance, although I can be sure that my memory will come back one day, but I have no way to be sure. At what time, it could be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, a year later, ten years later, dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of years later, are you willing to wait?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked.

"I'm willing to wait. I promised Brother Lu that I will always remember him and wait for him," Yun Qi said.

"But what you look like now, wait for your strict law to come back?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked.

Yun Qi bowed his head in silence, ashamed.

"Yunqi, I'm not blaming you, but I just want you to understand that the way of the sky is based on hair growth. If you are so lifeless, you will damage your luck, morality, and longevity. Since you have decided in your heart to wait , why not treat yourself better?" Yuanshi Tianzun said.

"I just can't see hope anymore," Yun Qi said.

Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes are too ruthless, there is no shadow of Yun Qi in those eyes.

"Can I hold your hand?" Yuanshi Tianzun said suddenly.

Yun Qi was at a loss and instinctively refused. He knew that Yuanshi Tianzun was not a strict law.

"Can't you just treat me as a friend? Can't you just treat me as an acquaintance?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked.

Yun Qi hesitated, but still didn't reach out, he said apologetically, "Tian Zun's kindness, Yun Qi understands, but you are not him."

"Well, until I remember, I won't test you anymore," Yuanshi Tianzun said.

"Thank you for your understanding," Yun Qi said.

"You can walk with me, even if you treat me as an older elder," Yuanshi Tianzun said.

"Don't dare to refuse," Yun Qi said.

Yuanshi Tianzun led Yunqi across the center of the lake. Every step he took, the sleep under his feet froze and melted the bridge, supporting the two of them moving forward.

"Let's take a break," Yuanshi Tianzun said, unknowingly he had arrived at Ziyun Pavilion, bypassing half of the Xuandu Yujing.

Yun Qi nodded, walked to the side steps and sat down.

Yuanshi Tianzun also condescended to sit down with him, keeping a proper distance.

The two had nothing to say, they watched the floating clouds on the ground together, and listened to the low cry of the cranes in the sky.

"Since the Conferred God War, I have been living in Xuandu Yujing. At that time, the popularity here was still strong, and there were a few disciples by my side. Gradually, the disciples each had their own future, or entered the heavenly court. , or entered the west, or entered the mortal world to experience, in short, they were all scattered, and no one could be seen for thousands of years. Later, the only people I could see were the immortals who came to worship on time every day, but they were Those who dare not approach the Xuandu Yujing, just come from the clouds, bow down from a distance, and then disperse, which is considered to have completed a fixed day's process." Yuanshi Tianzun said, talking about his life with Yunqi.

Yunqi listened silently, without responding or interrupting.

Yuanshi Tianzun didn't care, and continued to say, "At the beginning, I was like you, wandering around in this beautiful fairy mansion, doing nothing every day, otherwise I wouldn't find out when those butterflies would come, and I wouldn't Playing with the carp in a lake. Maybe it’s because I’ve lived too long and experienced too many things. The appearance like you didn’t last long for me. As you people say, the heights are too cold , since I am in a high position, I should have this kind of life. After sorting out my thoughts, I accepted this place in a safe and secure way, practicing daily, gaining enlightenment, reading classics, and admiring flowers and plants."

"Is there a time when Tianzun can't see through it?" Yun Qi asked.If Tianzun can't see through it, what should they do with these little monsters?

"Of course there are times when I can't see through it. I am not the way of heaven. I am only blessed by the way of heaven. I can get his gifts and will. I am the same as you on the way of cultivation. Otherwise, I would not have experienced the mortal world, let alone There will be a chance to meet you as a strict law." Yuanshi Tianzun said.

Everyone hopes to become an immortal, and those who become immortals hope to be honored, but they don't know that as long as they are in the heaven and earth, as long as they are under the heaven, they must practice and understand as before, and there is no difference in essence.

"Tianzun, can you tell me about the prehistoric times, conferring gods, etc.?" Yun Qi asked.

Obviously there is hope in his heart, so depressed and sluggish, it is a self-inflicted sin, making himself unhappy, making Tianzun uneasy, and making Brother Lu worry.

"I can tell you what you want to hear, but it's too late today, how about talking to you tomorrow?" Yuanshi Tianzun said.

"Are you still here?" Yun Qi asked.

"No, I will show you more interesting places in the Immortal Mansion, just treat it as playing with friends, don't regard me as Tianzun, and don't regard me as strict law." Yuanshi Tianzun said.

"Thank you, Yunqi, for your enlightenment," Yunqi said.

"It's good to figure it out. If you keep depressed, if Yan Lu suddenly comes back, I'm afraid you will blame yourself," Yuanshi Tianzun said.

The two parted ways in front of Ziyun Pavilion, one facing east and the other facing west.

"Brother Corpse Demon, you are back" Zhuo'er said, because of excitement, a rain of flowers fell.

"Zhao'er must practice hard, don't let down the treasured land of the immortal family." Yun Qi said, and taught her a little bit first.

"Brother Shimo must be so strict, Brother Yan Lu doesn't care," Zhuo'er said.

"That's not your elder brother Yan Lu, it's Tianzun, Zhuo'er still needs to know etiquette," Yun Qi reminded.

"They all care about you, love you, and they look the same. Is it necessary to distinguish clearly?" Zhuo'er asked, she just didn't understand, the strict law was right in front of her eyes, but she had an extra identity of Tianzun, why Yunqi still sullen.

"Zhao'er is wrong, the one who cares about me is Tianzun, and the one who cares about me and loves me is Yan Lv, completely different," Yun Qi said.

"Forget it, I don't care about you, anyway, we will be together in the end," Zhuo'er said.

"Well, we always want to be together" Yun Qi said, told Zhuo'er a few words, and went back to the house to rest.

Lower Realm, Demon City, Spirit Snake Palace

Hong Lin waved his red snake tail to fan Li Yun who was unconscious, and eighteen small boa constrictors lay on his father's body and slept soundly.

"Young Master Yun, when you come back, find a medicinal herb for Brother Li who is afraid of snakes." Hong Lin said expectantly.

It has been more than half a month since Yun Shao left with Tianzun.
