The wind and snow are falling, the courtyard is filled with flowers, and with a sip of the newly brewed wine, the days in Kyoto are more charming and leisurely.
half year ago.
Chen Luo left the waters of Liangshan.
Also separated from Hongxiu in the water.
No matter the people in the world of immortality or Hongxiu, they can never let go of the temptation of the ghost realm.
There are opportunities everywhere, and there are inheritances wherever you look. Indeed, not many people can let go of it.
Chen Luo understood.
So there was no obstruction.
But that place was not suitable for him, so he took Hong Xiu out of the ghost realm and left the ghost realm with Bai Long.
Fan Yan was originally going to follow him.
But Chen Luo still asked him to return to Yushan Academy.
Cat Lady is in the academy.
Ning Shuan is also there.
As his first and second disciples, they have the ability to teach this closed disciple on their behalf.
Going back to Yushan Academy to practice is far better than staying with him and wandering around the world.
Of course.
Chen Luo wouldn't tell him, mainly because he didn't like a man following him. If he was a woman, Chen Luo wouldn't chase him away.
In the past, the cat queen Chen Luo never thought of letting her go back.
People...
Always be realistic.
Men love women.
Women love men.
The eternal truth.
For Chen Luo, this is just eye candy.
Not to mention that Cat Lady is his disciple, he really can't do anything. As for the eunuch, Chen Luo won't have any bad intentions.
If you want to ask for another reason, it is because Chen Luo is a mortal.
The kind that is vulgar and mundane.
Of course, Chen Luo did not leave the ghost realm alone.
When I left, there was a white horse beside me...
The horse is a white dragon.
As the only true dragon that still exists in the world, Chen Luo has never thought of taking it away from Shuibo Liangshan,
It may just be because I have lived in Jiangu for so long.
The formation was broken by Chen Luo again.
It just so happened that Chen Luo was the only human being it was familiar with and could defeat it, so the white dragon thought it would be an excellent choice to travel around the world with Chen Luo.
Chen Luo thought for a moment, but didn't refuse.
Just in what form to follow, I have been thinking about it for a long time.
Until Chen Luo remembered a song.
then……
The white dragon horse also appeared.
Unfortunately, this form didn't last long.
Not long after leaving the ghost realm, Bailong stopped when he saw a horse passing by.
it thought.
Suddenly transformed into a human form.
Fifteen or sixteen years old.
Looks a little pretty.
But it also has a silly and cute look.
She asked Chen Luo.
Pointing at the yellow horse passing by...
"Is it the same as me?"
"yes."
"what is that?"
"horse."
"What is the person on its back doing?"
"Ride it."
"Why ride him?"
"Because it's a horse."
"So you want to ride me too?"
"It's not a good question to ask like this."
"So you want to ride me?"
Chen Luo was silent, then nodded: "Yes."
He lacks a mount.
In the past, when the flying general was around, he could ride on the flying general when traveling far away.
But since he got together with Zheng Xiaoyao, he relies on these legs wherever he goes.
Even if you are made of iron, your legs will be tired, right?
The appearance of Bai Long immediately made Chen Luo a little ready to make a move...
Just riding a dragon is really a bit high-profile.
Wouldn't there be nothing wrong with replacing it with a white horse?
As it happens, dragons are fickle.
It really turned into a horse...
These days, he was also thinking about how to talk to fellow Taoist Long about this and see if he could let himself ride.
As a result, before the words were spoken, it was said by itself first.
A female dragon...
She's also pretty good-looking.
If you ride this, you should have a very good experience.
However, from this moment on, Chen Luo lost this opportunity.
The white dragon turned into a small pocket white snake and wrapped itself in Chen Luo's hand.
No matter how much Chen Luo negotiated, he was still unwilling to become a white horse.
If Chen Luo mentions it again.
The white dragon said: "I am a female dragon, are you sure you want to ride me?"
then……
It’s hard to talk about Chen Luo.
If you want to kill a thief, you can't save him.
Later, after traveling all the way and going in circles, I actually returned to Kyoto.
Later, Chen Luo never left again.
Haven't been back for decades.
Returning to the familiar yard again, it always feels like returning home.
Children leave home.
The wanderer returns.
It's a pity that not many people in the city know about it...
Wang Lu is dead.
Fuying Restaurant is still there, and so is the Wang family. ,
Unfortunately, his relationship with the Wang family did not continue after all.
Chen Luo never came back, and no one in Kyoto knew his name anymore.
In the past, Huangfu Yao knew about him, but he only found out after entering Kyoto that Huangfu Yao was dead...
I heard that it was because I was possessed by inner demons that I finally rushed into the imperial city.
then……
The Shocking God Formation was dispatched.
Even the powerful Jin Dan died under the formation.
Although the people of Kyoto had long been unaware of Eunuch Bu Zheng's courtyard, to Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, he was aware of it.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still there in the past, and he often talked about it.
Later I thought about taking him there, but never got the chance.
Although we have never met.
But I have been fascinated by it for a long time.
In the past, when things were peaceful, it was the father-in-law who came forward...
So I heard that Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty met Chen Luo that night when the courtyard opened.
Chatted some.
We also talked a lot.
Chen Luo, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, did not have the feelings of emperors such as Wu Jianwu of the Han Dynasty.
But this is the Emperor of Zhou after all.
He lives at the feet of the Emperor.
If he wants to see him, he always needs to give him some face.
Occasionally, Chen Luo would answer questions when he asked himself something.
Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty actually felt Chen Luo's alienation.
If they were talking about Jianghu affairs, my father-in-law would be happy to talk. Occasionally, he would take a sip of wine if he felt like it.
But if you talk about going to the court, border wars, and common people's affairs.
The father-in-law remained quiet and silent.
Like a passerby.
When leaving, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty couldn't help but ask Chen Luo: "If the great Zhou Dynasty invites my father-in-law to be the national advisor again, will my father-in-law be willing?"
Chen Luo smiled and said: "Our family is old and has only a few years to live. It would be great to be able to return to Kyoto for retirement at this time, but I don't dare to expect anything else."
Emperor Xuan of Ming Dynasty sighed slightly.
So he turned and left.
Bai Long swam out of his sleeves, stuck out his head and asked Chen Luo: "You don't like this person?"
"Why did fellow Taoist Bailong say that?"
"Feel."
"Your feeling is right, but our family doesn't hate him either."
"I don't like it or hate it, I don't understand."
"Our family doesn't understand either."
"You know, I just don't want to say it."
Chen Luo smiled and stopped answering...
Fellow Taoist Bailong is right.
He just didn't want to say it.
Da Zhou and Da Qin will surely be unified!
It's really hard for me to get involved.
Over the years, I have participated in many things, things in the Great Zhou Dynasty, things in the world of immortality, many, many things...
this is not right!
He should be happy and at ease.
But as you get more involved, it becomes more and more complicated and tiring in the end.
Whether it was matters in the world of immortality, matters in the Great Zhou Dynasty, or matters in the Great Qin Dynasty, from the moment he saw Bai Long, Chen Luo knew that these matters had nothing to do with him.
Although I am now in the stage of recovery from cultivating immortals, there are always some powers that I cannot control now...
The more involved you are.
In the end, there is trouble.
If you wait until you can no longer escape, it will be too late.
It happened that after the trip to the Ghost Domain, Chen Luobo got a favor from various sects. From now on, they would no longer trouble him.
And the kindness of Shushan has been repaid.
At this time, it is the best opportunity to continue to live a life of sitting back and watching the clouds roll and relax.
People...
You always need to learn to withdraw when the time is right.
It just so happens that I can retreat now.
Then, let's step back and talk...
From that day on, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty never came to Chen Luo's yard again.
In the past, there was no fighting for father-in-law.
Except for being famous in the world of cultivating immortals, and not a small one.
There is no more fame in this world, in this Kyoto.
And this is exactly what Chen Luo likes.
So he even removed the formations in the courtyard and completely became an ordinary person in Kyoto.
Good thing.
Chen Luo is not lonely either.
With fellow Taoist Bailong by your side, you can always live an interesting life.
Sometimes you can also receive messages from old friends.
For example, Cat Lady's.
Such as Xiaobai's.
For example, Ning Shuan.
Cat Lady's handwriting has become more and more beautiful over the years.
She often asked herself what was in the books.
For example: What is the original intention?
For example: What does heaven...earth mean?
Occasionally I also ask: Are there any more fish?
Chen Luo sometimes couldn't answer her questions, but he was the master, so he couldn't say he couldn't...
So Chen Luo replied: "Read a book! The answer is in the book."
Then I turned around and started reading crazily...
When the Cat Lady writes again for the second time, Chen Luo will ask: Are you enlightened?
If he realizes it, Chen Luo will say: Good!
If he didn't realize it, Chen Luo started his long speech.
Just looking at it, Fellow Taoist Bailong shook his head: "You can just tell her directly why you have to say so many words. Each sentence is just a hint, but it doesn't go into depth."
Chen Luo said: "This is her way."
"What's the meaning?"
"Tao, it's interesting, but it's hard to explain clearly!"
"I don't understand."
"You don't understand? Then how did you cultivate to this level?"
The real dragon in the combined realm doesn't even understand Tao.
this is not right,
"I don't know... Anyway, this is how I broke through!"
Chen Luo didn't want to talk anymore.
Thinking of those magical herbs and elixirs in the valley...it might be that they were wasted like this.
Xiaobai's message is relatively simple.
Her words are not long.
Basically one sentence,
"Chen Luo, guess who I am?"
"Chen Luo, I have learned to write."
"Chen Luo, I miss you!"
"Chen Luo, I ate a lot of delicious food today."
"Chen Luo, Wu Adou planted a lot of peach blossoms."
"Chen Luo, Xiaohong is dead again!"
"Chen Luo. I lost weight!"
"Chen Luo, I failed to lose weight."
"Chen Luo, I weigh more than 200 pounds."
"Chen Luo, am I fat?"
"Chen Luo, I must lose weight!"
"Chen Luo, I have learned another magical power!"
"Chen Luo, I helped Cat Lady wash the dishes today."
"Chen Luo, Cat Lady praised me!"
"Chen Luo, when will you come back..."
The words are crooked.
very ugly.
Compare it with Cat Lady's words...that's all, don't compare.
But Chen Luo is still happy that he has at least learned to write and has the idea of losing weight.
Even before, I still called myself husband, but just a few years ago, I stopped calling myself Chen Luo.
This kid...
He shook his head helplessly,
Just a little regretful.
Xiaohong, the sixth generation, died again...
Generation after generation, it is not that they have no inspiration, but in the end, even if they have some inspiration, they will not be able to do it.
Chen Luo thought, there would be no seventh generation Xiaohong.
Stubborn donkey...
How do you make sense when you are stubborn?
As for Ning Shuan's letter, it was even simpler, just talking about teaching Fan Yan.
He learned swordsmanship.
Confucianism and Taoism also have swords.
Haoran's righteous sword.
Ning Shuan taught him this.
Chen Luo shook his head when he heard this.
It is impossible for a disciple like me to learn the Haoran Zhengqi Sword...
As a gentleman who can survive a fatal blow from the back, who cannot defeat a notebook, but who can survive a fatal blow from the back...
It would be awesome if he could learn the Haoran Zhengqi Sword.
Not long after, Ning Shuan received a letter, saying that his junior brother had a very good understanding and understood the Haoran Zhengqi Sword in one day.
It is worthy of the saying of a gentleman's sword.
When he heard this, Chen Luo sat on the ground and thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out where the problem was.
Is this okay?
Haoran Zhengqi is blind?
So Chen Luo raised his hand and slashed out a stream of awe-inspiring righteousness.
Now Chen Luo was convinced.
Haoran Zhengqi is purely deceptive.
Of course, when I returned to Kyoto, besides getting up every morning to practice boxing and clean up.
Or occasionally fishing by the river.
Chen Luo also has one more thing to do: wine making.
This wine is not just ordinary wine, it is medicinal wine...
In the past, Chen Luo accidentally obtained a recipe for medicinal wine, but the ingredients were too complicated, and Chen Luo couldn't collect them all for a long time.
But when he was in the ghost domain, Chen Luo completed the harvest in one go.
Especially those in Jiangu.
There are spiritual herbs that are hundreds of thousands of years old at every turn, and there is really no reason to give up.
It just so happens that there are a lot of materials that I need.
Therefore, wine making has entered the itinerary.
When the wine is brewed, take a sip.
Chen Luo's face turned red instantly, and he felt that the spiritual energy in his body was constantly rushing...
I could clearly feel that my own Qi sea was rolling.
[You took a sip of the best medicinal wine, your spiritual energy was sufficient and domineering, and your experience in the immortal realm was improved.
Experience value +200!
PS: This wine has a very strong medicinal effect, it is recommended to drink less, otherwise you will get drunk...]
Chen Luo naturally didn't believe it.
I drank so much, when did I ever get drunk?
ten minutes later,
Looking at the drunk little white snake lying on the ground, Chen Luo accepted the system's suggestion.
You really shouldn’t drink too much of this wine.
I guess I can only eat three meals a day.
Morning, noon and evening...
The rest of the time, you can’t drink too much.
Really drunk.
However, the effect of the spirit gathering array in the garden also appeared...
I didn't have time to test the formation I learned at the beginning, so I set up the spirit gathering formation in the garden when I arrived in Kyoto.
It really gathered some power of luck.
This is a very high-level power, much higher than the power of incense.
Although few.
But it's also pretty good.
Therefore, Chen Luo carved the spirit gathering formation on the Jianwu sword.
The sword of refining Qi.
sword of incense,
The sword of luck.
Not bad...
It's a pity that this Sword of Fate cannot be stored in the Divine Sea... But it's okay.
Isn't it just raising a sword?
He can still be raised.
Not to mention that he won't fight anymore, but if there is a fight, who will draw the sword?
only……
Twenty-seven years of meritorious service. ,
September.
The autumn air is crisp,
The fallen leaves in the courtyard have begun to fall, occasionally spinning and flying up for a long time.
This day.
A shadow flew into Chen Luo's yard.
He landed gently in Chen Luo's yard and looked at Chen Luo lying there with a surprised look on his face.
Obviously he didn't expect anyone to be here.
and……
"It's broad daylight and you're still sleeping? Bah!"
he cursed.
A knife appeared in his hand.
He approached Chen Luo cautiously.
knife…
across his neck.
"I'm sorry, I did it for money today, and I didn't want to kill anyone, but you look so leisurely, it's really annoying!"
The man said.
Lower your head.
Suddenly stunned.
The man opened his eyes.
Look at him.
He was looking at him too.
Eyes facing each other.
The knife left no mark on his neck, but it didn't know when it fell into his hand.
"Nowadays, sleeping can cause jealousy?"
The man finally reacted.
He had to run as soon as he could.
Suddenly his vision went dark.
Then he lost consciousness.
"what you do?"
Bai Long looked at Chen Luo who was digging a hole in the yard with a hoe and asked.
"Dig a hole."
"do what?"
“Plant trees!”
After many years of not farming, my skills are rusty...
Fortunately, I reviewed it today.
I just pity the hero, he's not even a monk... Fortunately, it's okay. Planting trees doesn't matter your cultivation level, as long as you have enough nutrition.
The fifteen or sixteen year old girl just looked at Chen Luo planting the tree.
Finally, he became thoughtful.
"If I had continued to attack you in the past, would you have planted trees?"
Chen Luo shook his head,
"Will not."
The girl smiled slightly, quite satisfied with this answer.
"Our family will only eat you, and the cumin will be ready by then."
"???"
“Barbecue without some cumin is missing some soul.
Of course, paprika is also essential. "
Since that day, fellow Taoist Bailong didn't speak to Chen Luo for three days.
I didn't talk to Chen Luo until three days later.
"So I know it's right not to fight with you."
Chen Luo laughed and asked fellow Taoist Bailong: "Are we going to the temple fair together tomorrow?"
September 9th Climbing Festival.
An additional temple has appeared on Nanyang Mountain in recent years.
The Buddhist Buddha enshrined in the temple...
A temple fair is held every September 9th, and it is recognized by the imperial court.
It's been a blast over the years.
I missed it when I came back last year.
This year is just right.
Now that I have become an ordinary person in Kyoto, it is always good to go and see this temple fair.
"And the nine curves and eighteen turns are also good. If fellow Taoist Bailong goes for a walk, you will definitely have different feelings."
Fellow Taoist Bailong thought for a while and nodded.
"Then let's go and see it together!"
The second day.
Chen Luo and Bai Long went out.
Get up early and always eat something early.
In the past, he would have naturally drank a bowl of Wang's Tofu Pudding...but Chen Luo stopped drinking it these days.
It’s not that the bean curd is gone.
It's still there.
But it just doesn’t taste right.
If it doesn't taste right, no matter how much sugar you add, it won't help. It's better not to add any sugar.
Buy two steamed buns.
One is Taoist friend Bailong, the other is Chen Luo...
As soon as we arrived at Nanyang Mountain, a somewhat surprising voice came from behind: "Chen?? Chen Luo???"
Chen Luo turned around.
The man saw his face clearly and had already walked up.
He hugged himself directly.
"Let me just say...this is really you, it's true!"
Chen Luo:......
