Talk about the world of mortals in detail

Chapter 755 Knowing one’s heart and one’s nature

Yan Shouyun certainly couldn't have any attachment to the prison in Chengtian Prefecture Yamen. Now that he was out, he wished he had two more legs to run away.

Of course, he still had to take some of the things he carried with him when he left the prison. Although the wooden box was broken, there were still some things such as magic tools and four treasures of the study, which were packed in a cloth bag, and Yan Shouyun took them all with him.

After leaving the prison yard and going to the street again, Yan Shouyun looked back in the direction of Chengtian Prefecture Prison, and couldn't help thinking of the old constable in his heart.

This chief constable is really good.

Yan Shouyun weighed the silver in his hand and saw that the street was already decorated with lights and colorful lights, and the faces of the pedestrians were beaming with joy. All the shops on the street also posted Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters.

"Alas, it's New Year's Eve!"

Yan Shouyun sighed. His business of selling couplets was very bleak in the winter. It would have been fine if he had done it two days ago. Now, it can't be done.

In the evening, Yan Shouyun hit a wall at an inn again.

"Sir, there really is no room!" Yan Shouyun said helplessly. "Boss, any room is fine, even if you squeeze in with others. How about the firewood room? I have no objection to it for one night!" The shopkeeper waved his hand hurriedly. "Oh, if you have no objection, I can't do it. The government has repeatedly emphasized the rules during this period of time. Besides, you don't even have a pass. We don't want any complications. You should look for it again!" Yan Shouyun frowned and finally left helplessly. This was the fifth inn he had found, and there were no rooms without exception. Of course, some of them had no rooms, and some might be because Yan Shouyun did not have a pass and did not want to cause trouble. The recent inspections in the capital were obviously too strict. As for why the inn business was so hot on New Year's Eve, it was mainly because tomorrow was the first day of the new year. The local people in the capital naturally had a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, but there were also many people from other places. On the first day of the new year tomorrow, the magic masters helped the emperor to offer sacrifices to the sky, and the law appraisal conference began! There are many people watching the fun!

Yan Shouyun didn't expect that he would have no place to live even if he had money. It is estimated that no one in the common people's homes would take in strangers on the night of New Year's Eve, right?

A faint smell of meat came, and Yan Shouyun looked at the cooked food shop opposite the inn. It was a roast chicken that had just been baked.

"Fortunately, at least I won't be hungry!"

The sky was getting darker and darker, and Yan Shouyun was not in a hurry. He simply found a higher building, then jumped up to the eaves of the first floor, climbed up one floor at a time, and finally reached the top of the building.

Yan Shouyun is a sorcerer, but he has also learned martial arts. His light skills are not very good, but it is not difficult to get on the roof.

A pot of old wine, a roast chicken, plus a bag of braised meat and peanuts, and a few cakes, is Yan Shouyun's New Year's Eve dinner tonight.

Unwrapping the dried lotus leaves, the dishes and cakes are still steaming, which makes Yan Shouyun, who feels a little cold, salivate.

"Who is it?"

Someone suddenly shouted in the distance, frightening Yan Shouyun. He looked up and saw a constable tiptoeing on a roof eave, floating up like a butterfly.

What a light skill!

Oh no, is he going to go in again?

Yan Shouyun was helpless, but he let it go. Whatever happens.

The prison in Chengtian Prefecture is actually quite warm. Even if he goes in again, it should be a misunderstanding, and he won't be locked up forever.

So Yan Shouyun, who was sitting on the tiles, didn't run, and didn't even get up. He just pulled a chicken leg and started eating it.

The constable went to the roof and saw an old acquaintance!

The man was Long Simiao, one of Xiao Yuzhi's disciples. He recognized the Taoist eating the chicken leg and knew that the master had released him this afternoon.

"It turned out to be Taoist Master Yan!"

Oh, the tone was much softer. It seemed that he wouldn't arrest me.

Yan Shouyun was much more relaxed at this time. He nodded and smiled with his greased mouth.

"Would you like to have something to eat?"

Long Simiao shook his head.

"No, I still have to inspect the capital."

"One night?"

Yan Shouyun asked, and the constable nodded.

"One night!"

Yan Shouyun felt that he just didn't have a place to stay at best, and he would have to work all night.

"What about the New Year's Eve dinner?"

Long Simiao smiled. This Taoist priest was interesting. Since it was the master who put it up, he might be a master. Of course, the capital is not short of masters now.

"I have already had a few bites with my brothers. As for home, we will talk about it tomorrow."

"That's really hard work!"

Long Simiao didn't speak immediately after hearing this, but looked around. The restaurant they were in was relatively high, and they could see many places in the city. At this time, the sky began to darken, and many places were lit, which made the capital more prosperous.

"Since I was a child, my elders said that I had no ambition and that I had not achieved much. So today I have a happy family. How lucky I am. I am lucky to be able to work in Chengtian Prefecture. How lucky I am to have a wise master!"

"But if I hadn't been saved by my master when I was a child, I probably wouldn't have been so lucky. That year was also New Year's Eve!"

Long Simiao looked at Yan Shouyun again.

"Protecting the lights of thousands of homes in this world is my duty as a constable, and it is also Long's life ambition. With this ambition, what's the hardship!"

"Master said you are a master. I believe that you exorcise demons and monsters not just to make a living, otherwise you would have been unveiled long ago!"

Long Simiao looked at the mage who had stopped chewing, and then bowed his hand to him.

"Stop talking about it. It was our fault for arresting the mage before. If we have the chance, we will prepare food and wine to entertain the mage. Long will take his leave first!"

After saying this, Long Simiao jumped forward, his body already floating forward.

Yan Shouyun watched the policeman leave, watched him land on a roof on the opposite street, and then moved away slightly.

After being stunned for a long time, Yan Shouyun did not turn around.

It was also at this time that several more firelights rose into the sky in the direction of the Imperial City, followed by fireworks exploding.

"Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~".

The ceiling in the sky illuminated the place, also illuminated the roof where Yan Shouyun was sitting, and illuminated his face. He turned his head and looked at the sky over there. The brilliance of the fireworks was bright, bright and beautiful.

I really just do it to make ends meet.

Yan Shouyun lay on the roof, watching the fireworks rising and exploding, and watching more and more lights in the city. There were families everywhere, maybe having New Year's Eve dinner.

He could even imagine the laughter at home, and he could imagine the children rushing out to look at the sky because of the sound of fireworks. Perhaps there were many adults and children enjoying the fireworks in the direction of the Imperial City like him at this moment.

Maybe there are still some children setting off firecrackers by themselves at this moment.

"Guarding the lights of thousands of people in the world. I am a cultivator, and I am not as high as a police officer. No wonder I am in decline. No wonder I can't achieve high and low."

The lights in the world were becoming more intense in Yan Shouyun's eyes at this moment. It was as if he could vaguely see the lights of the capital melting into one piece. The rich firelight was redder and brighter than the fireworks in the imperial city, making the sky red.

"Zhizhi~~"

A crisp sound made Yan Shouyun wake up suddenly, and the red fire in front of his eyes disappeared. He looked around and saw an animal standing next to the open lotus leaves beside him.

"Bang~" "Bang~".

The fireworks lit up the roof, and Yan Shouyun could see clearly that the little animal was a mink. He even recognized it immediately.

"Are you the mink raised by Mr. Qi?"

Hui Mian just looked up at Yan Shouyun. At that moment, the Qi of this couplet warlock had faintly changed, and he felt a little bright.

Of course Yan Shouyun didn't know what Diao'er was thinking, so he smiled and reached out to hand over the chicken leg bone that he had chewed.

"Here, eat!"

Hui Mian looked down at the bones handed over to him, then looked up at Yan Shouyun.

"Do I look like a dog?"

Yan Shouyun's smile instantly froze on his face, his eyes widened, and the pupils in his eyes slowly expanded.

"monster!"

With a low cry and a shake of his body, Yan Shouyun kicked his feet but failed to stand up. Instead, he slipped on the tiles and lost his balance, falling to the side of the eaves.

"ah"

With a violent shake, Yan Shouyun stood up straight, and the scene of his fall disappeared. He looked around blankly, and it seemed that he had just fallen asleep while lying on the roof.

"Zhizhi~"

Hearing the sound, Yan Shouyun immediately looked to his side. A small mink was standing next to the roast chicken held on dried lotus leaves, waiting for food.

Yan Shouyun stared blankly at the mink. It was exactly the same as in the dream. It was indeed Mr. Qi's mink. Could it be that he was still in the dream.

Yan Shouyun twisted his thigh with his hand.

"hiss"

The pain made Yan Shouyun realize that he was awake this time.

"Zhizhi~"

Hui Mian looked at Yan Shouyun and then at the roast chicken in front of him. The latter was stunned for a moment and looked at the chicken leg bones at hand.

Then Yan Shouyun still smiled. Although it was just a dream, he did not hand out the chicken bones again. Instead, he reached out and pulled off the other chicken leg from the roast chicken and handed it to Diao'er.

"Here, you can celebrate the New Year too!"

Hui Mian naturally stretched out his paws and hugged the chicken legs.

If you dare to give me chicken bones again, I'll send you down if you don't fall down yourself this time!

On the street a little further away, Qi Zhongbin looked up at the top eaves of the restaurant over there, stroking his beard and smiling.

Able to understand the mind and nature, this couplet warlock is not bad at heart and talent, and his timidity is not a shortcoming.
