Three years later, on August 15th.
On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus fills Luodu.
Yan Jueling sat alone at the table by the window on the top floor of Wanxian Building, staring at the bustling street below, where several beautiful women surrounded by passers-by were choosing clothes in a silk shop.
They were surrounded by a group of children, playing and playing, which made the adults smile, but also felt quite headache.
A car drove past the bridge, and before it stopped, several children in the car opened the curtains and greeted the children on the street. The same beautiful woman was helped out of the car by the servants. The pregnant figure has a happy smile on his face.
The last one to get out of the car was a man as majestic as a golden lion king. As soon as he got out of the car, he raised his head and looked up, seeing Yan Jue Ling facing each other.
Wan Guotai laughed, and greeted Yan Jueling at the window.
A group of women and children came out of the silk and satin shop, hugging Meng Yuanjun, who had received astonishingly high silk and satin, and threw the newly bought clothes into Wan Guotai's carriage, and ordered the driver to follow his wife and children, but he and Wan Guotai boarded the carriage. After leaving the restaurant, it is rare to find an excuse to escape from the battlefield of the wives.
Flying upstairs, Meng Yuanyun shook off Wan Guotai, floated straight into the seat, drank a pot of sake, and then complained: "It's terrible to go shopping with these old women. Your wife is pretty good. Daughter-in-law, I'm not slipping away at all..."
Yan Jueling smiled slightly, Wan Guotai was already laughing again and again, and leaned over and said: "You dare to whisper behind your back, if you let your brother and sister Tang Rou hear it, you will have to take a layer of your skin!"
Yan Jueling looked Wan Guotai up and down, and said happily, "Brother Wan has recovered from his injuries. Congratulations. I don't know when I will see Brother Wan's peerless sword skills again."
Wan Guotai's eyes flashed brightly, and he said lightly: "I have forgotten where the knife is..."
Yan Jueling was slightly taken aback when he heard that, and couldn't help but look at Meng Yuanjun, Meng Yuanjun also shrugged his shoulders, both of them could not have imagined that Wan Guotai had reached the state of "forgetting the sword" without a sound, it was really shocking.
But seeing the expressions of the two, Wan Guotai waved his hands again and again, and sighed: "Don't get me wrong, I really forgot where I put the knife... I am not a member of the world, and I went astray before. Today’s life is what I like and dream about, [Dafa of Changing the Sun] not only regenerates meridians, but also changes my life... If possible, I don’t want to touch the knife again in my life.”
Yan Jueling and Meng Yuanyun looked at each other and laughed.
"What makes you smile so happily?" A hearty voice came from the stairs, but it was Xu Xiyu striding up the stairs, wearing a white robe over a green shirt, and he looked extremely suave and suave.
Seeing Xu Xiyu, Meng Yuanyun couldn't help whistling frivolously, and said with a smile: "The young landlord of Tsingyi Building, who is so powerful in the world, is getting more and more promiscuous. I don't know which beautiful woman he is chasing recently? Did he succeed?"
Xu Xiyu grinned and said, "Meng Laoliu can make fun of people. Could it be that you have Miss Tang Rou, so I can't find someone I love?"
"I heard that Xiahou Qingfeng is pursuing Liu Qingyan desperately recently..." Meng Yuanyun interrupted suddenly.
"Not only..." Xu Xiyu said, "Even Zhao Huanyan is married to Shuai Tianfan."
Meng Yuanyun laughed and said: "Nowadays the world is peaceful, the matter of marriage has naturally become the most important thing."
Xu Xiyu nodded and said: "Oh, it's a pity that Miss Xueyin has retired with Ye Qingxuan to the world. I am full of love, so who should I care about?"
Pooh.
Everyone couldn't help shaking their heads and laughing when they saw Xu Xiyu's nympho who lost his soul and had infinite nostalgia.
Wan Guotai didn't bother to pay attention to this guy, looked at Meng Yuanyun and asked, "Will Brothers Nie and Sanada come this year? I heard that at the beginning of last year, the imperial court sent the 'Dragon King' to the water army in Pohai and the coalition forces in Tingchao Pavilion in the East China Sea. In addition, the city lord of Brother Nie's line has pacified Yingzhou, and the new shogun has already presented himself to the court and paid tribute every year, so they should be able to relax, right?"
Meng Yuanjun shrugged his shoulders and said, "What's easy? Although Yingzhou rated it, the new general is only twelve years old. Most of the affairs are handled by the Dragon King, and Sanada stays to assist... As for Nie Xingxie, he returned to the Central Plains." I can't stop, I followed Li Daozong to investigate the disappearance of the golden coffin... "
Mentioning the missing golden coffin, everyone's expressions became serious.
Yan Jueling looked serious and asked, "Is there any new news? The golden coffin disappeared on the day of the old prince's accident... After all, it involved the 'Heavenly Demon Corpse', so it should not be taken lightly."
Meng Yuanyun lowered his voice, and said slowly: "From the current information, it should be Wanqi Zifeng who made the move. This evil remnant, like his father, has not yet been subdued... The clue came from that old man Su Rong, but the recent news But it's getting weirder and weirder. It seems that the ancestor Xianlong who hasn't masked for a long time is also involved... Now, besides Li Daozong and Nie Xingxie, the Kunwu faction is also said to have sent a strong team to find the 'golden coffin' and The movement of the ancestor of Xianlong."
"If the Kunwu faction came forward, this matter would indeed be much easier." Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Today's martial arts is righteous, except for Kunwu Mountain, almost all other sects have suffered heavy losses.
The Twelve Elders' Association was formed with great reluctance, and they were all martial arts masters with extremely powerful reputations and strengths in the world. However, the top ten martial arts sects have long existed in name only. The Council of Elders is no longer unshakable, but based on the ranking of each faction, it is held every five years, and there is a general election.
As for the former transcendent faction, whether it is the Lingyun Palace and Fengyi Pavilion of the Baidao, or the Sansheng Island of the Underworld, they have all fallen to the altar. The big ones, mastering the right to speak in the rivers and lakes happened.
Now in Jianghu, the most famous and most appealing sect is only the Kunwu Sect.
As a peerless master like Ye Qingxuan and the powerful military force of Kunwu Academy, the strength of the Kunwu Sect has reached a level unimaginable by ordinary people. The Fang forces have contacts with them, and their influence is definitely not inferior to that of Fengyi Pavilion back then. With the cooperation of the imperial court, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to search for the whereabouts of the ancestor of Xianlong and the "Golden Coffin".
Xu Xiyu sat down slowly at this time, poured a glass of wine with a somewhat cautious expression, and drank it down: "Before I came, I also got a piece of news that the Vermilion Bird Master who escaped not long ago appeared in Yunzhou. Xiaogu appeared in Qinglong's hidden world... "
Everyone was slightly taken aback when they heard that, since Qinglong martial art was abolished, relying on Ye Qingxuan's life-extending magic skill to barely save their lives, they have long since ignored worldly affairs, and were unexpectedly dragged out by Suzaku.
Wan Guotai snorted coldly with disdain: "Such as Suzaku, the remnants of the Nine Sects of the Demon Sect, don't hide in the mountains to live, but dare to show up to seek death? Isn't it the Demon Sect who has some conspiracy?"
Yan Jueling shook his head and said, "The Demon Sect is already torn apart. Unless there is a powerful figure like Luo Podi, it will be difficult to unify. Suzaku... is almost meaningless."
Meng Yuanjun looked at Xu Xiyu in surprise, and asked: "Senior Qinglong... what did he say?"
Meng Yuanyun showed full trust in Qinglong who retired from the world, so he asked this question.
Xu Xiyu said slowly: "Senior Qinglong said that Suzaku just came to say goodbye."
"Farewell?" Everyone asked suspiciously.
"Yes." Xu Xiyu explained: "Suzaku wants to go to Nanyang, stay away from the middle land. Establish your own pure land, and everyone, don't underestimate Suzaku. Not only is Suzaku's martial arts not comparable to that of the past, but he has also obtained the Fire Lotus Order from the 'Worship of Fire' .”
Everyone was silent again after hearing this.
If he got the "Fire Lotus Token", Suzaku's martial arts would indeed be enough to cause big troubles in the world, and it might not be a bad thing to flee overseas now.
"Besides that, Suzaku also explained the whereabouts of Teng Snake." Xu Xiyu said.
"Tengsnake? Hmph, he still dares to show himself?" Meng Yuanyun asked Daqi.
Xu Xiyu said with a smile: "Of course he didn't dare to choose us as his target, but he aimed at Qilin and Shen Linger couple, but after getting the news, Senior Qinglong asked Feng Qingyan to take his disciples to deal with it. It should be no problem gone."
With Feng Qingyan coming out of the mountain, and "Kirin" Qi Rulin, there is really nothing to worry about with only one lifeless Teng Snake left.
Meng Yuanjun leaned back happily, held a bamboo stick in his mouth, and sighed: "I don't know if Ye Zi will appear on New Year's Eve this year. I haven't seen him for three years..."
In the battle of Lingyunding, except for a few people, no one in the world knows what happened.
From that day on, Ye Qingxuan disappeared into the rivers and lakes. Apart from confirming that he was still alive and taking Mei Yinxue to play around, there were no other legends about him in the rivers and lakes.
At the same time, it is widely rumored in the world that Ning Zhongliu, a "scattered man of heavenly wisdom", influenced the world with morality, realized the true meaning of "shattering the void", and ascended in the daylight with a mortal body, becoming the first person in all ages.
Ye Qingxuan didn't care about these false names, the real situation was naturally that Ning Zhongliu died in Ye Qingxuan's hands.
Wan Guotai looked out the window, the wives and children had already rushed back, knowing that the time was coming, he hurriedly said softly: "It's almost time. Duan Lao San should also come out of the imperial hospital, the fifth brother is like a flower Also entered the palace early, everyone is waiting for us in the Tai Chi Hall, don't be late."
While speaking, there was a commotion outside, the guards from the brigade rushed in, several carriages stopped neatly under the door, a figure turned over to the window, saluted them respectfully, and said: "My lords, the time has come , the emperor specially ordered the villain to lead the masters into the palace for a banquet. Your majesty said that the little princess is still young, and the empress is pregnant again. Your majesty is reluctant to leave, otherwise he will welcome you personally... "
The person who came was none other than Xiaodouzi Dou Bao, who has now been promoted to the head of the palace.
Upon hearing this, Wan Guotai laughed and clapped his hands and said, "Sibling and sister are pregnant again? Hahaha, congratulations, it's just that there are few gifts prepared!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing. At this time, a carriage downstairs suddenly opened the curtains, and a person raised his head and shouted: "Hey, what are you guys doing? Why don't you hurry downstairs?"
Several people were taken aback when they heard the words, and then leaned out of the window to look at the person coming.
Wan Guotai was overjoyed, turned over and jumped out of the window, "Second brother, are you here too?"
"Little Eagle King" Zhan Yu laughed, got out of the car and hugged Wan Guotai, and said with emotion: "The overall situation of Donghu has been decided, and the rest is left to 'Tie Ying' and the others. Daddy and I want to be quiet. This is back to the Central Plains."
"Eagle King is back too?" Wan Guotai asked with a happy expression.
Zhan Yu shook his head and said: "Although my father is back, he is too lazy to participate in the activities of us young people. He and Ji Guanglan, Senior Shentu, Master Xu, and Sun Kun, etc., went to Xiahou's house to beg for wine. I drank it. I heard that this time the emperor collected hundreds of fine wines and personally handed them over to the old minister for tasting. He wants to seal the title of "Top Ten Fine Wines of Great Xia"... "
"Hahaha, this is interesting..." Wan Guotai laughed, "No wonder I heard that these old seniors collectively declined the state banquet on New Year's Eve in the first few days. It turned out that they hid themselves and organized it."
There was a crowd of people, and while talking and laughing, several other people also lost their coefficients, and each took their family members to board the carriage and set off for the palace.
…
On the Luoshui that crosses Luodu, a flat boat wanders on the river under the moonlight.
The bright moonlight fell, casting silver light on the two young men snuggling up to the bow.
Mei Yinxue lay in the man's arms, stretched lazily, and stretched her graceful figure to her heart's content.
A slight smile appeared on Ye Qingxuan's face.
Mei Yinxue showed doubts, and asked softly: "What are you thinking?"
Ye Qingxuan said: "After wandering leisurely and unrestrainedly for three years, I finally returned to this city."
"After all, you still like this Jianghu." Mei Yinxue couldn't help laughing: "If there were no such disturbances, watching you would be very boring..."
Ye Qingxuan was noncommittal, and said lightly: "Some things are beautiful just to remember; and some things are terrible just to remember... It's better to be calm."
Mei Yinxue asked again: "I like a peaceful life. But are you really willing to quit the world? Didn't you say that where there are people, there are worlds, and people are rivers and lakes. How do you quit?"
Ye Qingxuan smiled to himself, turned to look at the sweetheart whom he loves Wushuang, hugged her delicate body tightly, and said solemnly: "Actually, the world is in people's hearts. If people's hearts change, the world will change. If If there is no Jianghu in my heart, then where is there Jianghu?"
Under the night, both sides of the Luoshui River were shrouded in feasting and feasting.
A convoy appeared on the left side of Luoshui. Tang Rou's loveless face was revealed through the opened curtain of one of the carriages. In her carriage, Meng Laoliu was having a good time with his three-year-old daughter. It was fun, but Tang Rou's obviously jealous expression came to a standstill after seeing the boat on the river, followed by shouts of surprise.
Not long after, the entire convoy saw the boat on the water and the two people on the boat...
Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly, and waved slowly towards the crowd.
A group of brothers who have become legends in the entire rivers and lakes reunited in Luodu again, and headed towards the Tai Chi Hall together.
