Although Yu Yi was not present during the night attack on Qilin Town, he heard people on his side talking about it afterwards, so he also knew what was in the jar dug by Chang Sheng. But unlike Da Tou who liked to get to the bottom of things, although she didn't understand Chang Sheng He didn't ask why he wanted to dig this thing out, he just stood aside and waited quietly.
Chang Sheng didn't know where Takeda Mayumi was now, so he couldn't hand over the urn to her with his own hands. After a brief pause, he said to Yu Yi, "Go to Qingyang."
Yu nodded in agreement and opened the Xuanmen again.
Changsheng entered it first, and after waiting for a while, Yu Yi didn't follow him. Then he concentrated on sensing and found that the talisman had appeared in Hanzhong.
It’s not surprising that Yu Yi returned to Hanzhong Changsheng, because the previous teleportation distances were too far, which caused Yu Yi’s spiritual energy to be seriously consumed, and he was worried that he would go elsewhere next, so Yu Yi temporarily returned to Hanzhong, with the help of Yang Kai’s Zhoutian Shengong replenishes spiritual energy for oneself.
Changsheng appeared in the backyard of the government office. He summoned a servant not far away to inquire and learned that Li Zhongyong was handling official business in the lobby, so he ordered him to report.
Not long after, Li Zhongyong came quickly, and the two returned to Li Zhongyong's room. The business manager told Li Zhongyong what had happened in a concise and comprehensive manner, then left the urn and asked Li Zhongyong to deliver it to Takeda Mayumi.
Li Zhongyong said, "I don't know where the fourth child is now, but every year on the anniversary of Master's death, she will go to Yongzhou to worship Tongguan. There are still more than three months until the anniversary of Master's death. You can hand it over to her by then."
"Second Senior Brother, are you really confused or are you pretending to be confused," Chang Sheng said with a smile, "Do you think I can wait until next spring?"
Li Zhongyong was a man of discernment. As early as when Changsheng asked him and Chen Liqiu to hand over their military power and gifted them with a bundle of scriptures, he discovered that Changsheng was arranging a way out for them. Seeing Changsheng forcing a smile on his face, Li Zhongyong was a little disappointed, "Why not?"
Changsheng said, "Second Senior Brother, I am sure that we can snatch all the other spiritual talismans into our hands, but there is a price to pay for doing so. I have the golden talisman, and no one can touch me. If they can't touch me, they will beat you." It’s an idea, and you’ll all probably die in the end.”
Without waiting for Li Zhongyong to answer, Changsheng said again, "Ten thousand steps back, even if I take all the magic talismans into my own and successfully protect you, do you think it is appropriate for a group of immortal and invincible people to live in the world? Is it the way of heaven? Will heaven let it go?"
Li Zhongyong frowned and was speechless.
"You were not present when we were fighting for the magic talisman from the Immortal Palace, and you didn't know about some things," Changsheng said in a low voice, "I told you last time that immortals have different origins and have different understandings of the yin and yang of heaven. It seems like a harmonious atmosphere, but it is actually full of contradictions. If the spiritual talisman remains in the world for a long time, it will inevitably trigger a melee in the three realms. At that time, the situation will be beyond my control."
Li Zhongyong let out a long sigh.
Changsheng took out two purple strange snake inner elixirs from his waist bag and handed them to Li Zhongyong, "You pass these two inner elixirs to Fourth Senior Sister, and the Yiqi Zhenjing. Don't forget to copy a copy and give it to me." she."
Li Zhongyong reached out and took it, nodding silently.
Finding Yu Yi's magic talisman appeared in the backyard, Changsheng left his seat and stood up, "Yu Yi came to pick me up. I have to go somewhere else, so I'm leaving now."
"Where are you going?" Li Zhongyong stood up.
"The southern expedition army has not yet arrived in Fengxiang," Changsheng said, "I would like to take the opportunity to go to Dengzhou and then go back to my hometown to see."
While the two were talking, they walked out of the room and saw Li Zhongyong. Yu Yi folded his hands and bent down, nodding to him in greeting.
"The sun is going down. Let's go after dinner." Li Zhongyong persuaded him to stay.
Chang Sheng waved his hand in decline and left.
After leaving Qingyang, the two went to Dengzhou County first. Changsheng bought some fruits and snacks, and then went to a gold shop to buy a set of gold jewelry for women. Then they went to Wangjiakuang with Yu Yi.
For most people, their hometown is a matter of concern and longing, but Changsheng has no feelings for Wang Jiakuang. He can ignore the abuse and insults he received from the villagers in his early years, but he will never forget when they wanted to beat him and Lao Huang to death. The ferocious face.
The sun had already set when we arrived at the village. Changsheng did not enter the village, but went to the back of the village and sat in front of Lao Huang's grave for a long time. The past was still vivid in his mind.
At the second watch, Changsheng stood up, took out the horn from his arms and buried it shallowly in the ground. The reason why he kept the horn was not because he had forgotten about it, nor because he wanted to return it to its original owner, but because he knew that he could not keep anything. I can't even keep myself.
With Yu Yi here, Changsheng could go anywhere, but he did not return to Chang'an, nor did he go to the county town to stay. Instead, he sat in the cave in the east of the village until the third watch, and then went to the village with Yu Yi overnight.
His old house is located in the east of the village. Uninhabited houses are prone to decay and dilapidation. The villagers may be simple and kind-hearted, but they are not lucky enough to live forever. The villagers here even tore down the door of his house.
Since the imperial court and the Japanese had previously sent people to search for his old house, and the villagers had stolen and demolished it, there were only a few adobe rooms left in the old house, with nowhere to stay. Changsheng sat at the door of the courtyard in a daze. He knew that even if he asked Yu Yi to leave, Yu Yi would not leave, so he allowed her to stay with him.
Changsheng seemed to have thought a lot this night, but seemed to have thought of nothing at all. His hometown did not make him feel peaceful, but only made him feel more depressed.
At dawn, Changsheng came back to his senses and turned to look at Yu Yi, who was standing not far away, "It's dawn."
Yu nodded.
"It's getting cold, let's grow our hair." Chang Sheng said again.
Yu Yi nodded again.
After a brief conversation, the two fell into silence again.
As the sun rose, smoke rose from all over the village. Seeing Changsheng frequently looking to the west, Yu Yi guessed that there was someone he wanted to see in the village, and this person was a woman, because Changsheng bought many women from the county yesterday. Gold jewelry used.
"Your Majesty, if it is inconvenient for you to come forward, I can do it for you." Yu Yi said.
Upon hearing this, Changsheng raised his head and glanced at Yu Yi, then stood up straight and walked west.
His old house does not have a boundary with other houses in the village. The neighboring house is also some distance away from his old house. At this time, the courtyard door of the house on the west side is open, and an unkempt girl is standing there. Sit in front of the stove and light the fire.
The girl was only eleven or twelve years old. She was thin, with a disheveled face, and her clothes were mostly patched. She no longer recognized Chang Sheng. Seeing that Chang Sheng was well-dressed and full of nobility, she stood up in surprise and said, "You, you, Who are you looking for?"
"Er Niu." Changsheng called out her name.
The girl still didn't recognize Chang Sheng, and she became even more frightened when she saw that he actually knew her name, "Who are you?"
If there is one person in this village who deserves to smile forever, it is the little girl in front of him. Erniu had always been very friendly to him in the early years. On the day he left with his master and others, Erniu even stole a steamed bun from home and gave it to him.
Seeing that Changsheng kept smiling at her, Erniu connected the man in front of her with the little cripple back then, "Oh, you are Brother Changsheng!"
Changsheng smiled and nodded.
Although Changsheng's identity was confirmed, Changsheng had changed too much. Although Erniu was happy, she was still timid, "Brother Changsheng, where have you been in these years?"
"Where are your parents?" Changsheng asked.
"My mother hanged herself last year. Muramasa's Chai Lan was afraid of being hacked, so he hired my father to watch her from the back hill." There was no sadness in Erniu's words.
Changsheng nodded. Erniu's mother was mean and unkind, and had a bad temper. Such people could easily go to extremes and harm others and themselves.
Eleven or twelve years old is not too old, but it is not too young either. After confirming that Erniu could keep the secret, Changsheng gave her the gold jewelry he had purchased previously. This was the dowry he had prepared for Erniu.
Erniu burst into tears of gratitude and took Changsheng's hand to ask him to stay for breakfast. Seeing Erniu's earnestness and sincerity, Yu Yi said, "Your Majesty, it's hard to refuse such kindness. Please stay for a meal."
"You can't eat it," Chang Sheng shook his head, "Our cavalry is almost at Fengxiang, and the attack is imminent. We must rush back as soon as possible..."
