The thoughts in Master Taiyi's mind fluctuated, and the eyes he looked at Nezha were also cloudy and clear.
Compared with Nezha's expression management, it seems that Taiyi is too leaky.
This just shows that the two people have different personalities and behaviors.
Taiyi Zhenren is facing a calamity. He has not killed three corpses in fifteen hundred years. The karma accumulated in the past has accumulated. He has committed a murder calamity and is already in danger.
The source of the 'tribulation' that Nezha is suffering now lies in Taiyi Zhenren.
Nezha should not be robbed, and Taiyi Zhenren will suffer backlash.
Therefore, due to changes in plans, Taiyi's mentality became impetuous and unbalanced.
What's more, in the eyes of Master Taiyi, Nezha's little moral deeds are nothing if they are true.
Why should he try so hard to completely suppress the malice in his heart and act "sincerely" with Nezha?
"You are my disciple Taiyi Zhenren, you don't need to be so fragile and inferior..."
"Raise your head, show your teeth and show your claws... Just like in the past, why do you have to act like a little girl like this now?"
"Nezha... remember! No matter what you do, Master can solve it for you. You can live as you want without considering any consequences. Remember?" Master Taiyi grabbed Nezha's shoulders and said, It seemed to be comforting him.
These words, if viewed from another perspective, are really soothing.
Nezha looked moved.
The two masters and apprentices hugged each other, they really were masters, friends, and brothers.
It's just that I don't know what they think in their hearts.
Let’s not mention Nezha again.
Although Taiyi Zhenren will not give up, he will never catch Nezha and do those things that are harmful to nature.
Otherwise, it is no different from directly responding to the disaster.
For Nezha and Taiyi Zhenren, at best, they can only induce them in a subtle way, and they don't even dare to issue explicit 'instructions'.
If Nezha is more cautious and is not disturbed by the Six Poisons, it is still feasible to have a conciliatory relationship with Taiyi Master within a certain period of time.
On the other hand, Boyikao finally returned to Xiqi City after three years of travel.
Before entering the city, I saw the waving flags and busy traffic outside Xiqi City.
The soldiers guarding the city gate were also wearing armor and holding long swords. They looked solemn and reassuring.
Boyikao returned to Xiqi and saw the prosperity here again, which gave me a new feeling in my heart.
"If one day all the cities in the world look like this, I will have no regrets." Boyikao sighed.
"It's a pity that Master doesn't want to return with me."
"Otherwise, he should know what a correct decision I made to develop my ideas with Xiqi as the center."
In three years of travel, he has seen too much suffering.
A deeper understanding of the source and origin of these sufferings.
He thought about ways to change, and now he's back to where it all started.
My state of mind is very different from the past.
Once he only wanted to protect the prosperity of this city.
Now, he wants to spread the prosperity of this city to the entire world.
If he also had ambitions... then this was his ambition in Boyikao.
The old man selling herbal tea at the gate of the city is still there, but a little older, which makes Boyikao feel a little familiar.
The strange buildings that appeared in the city, as well as the changes in people's clothing, behavior, and manners, made Boyikao temporarily ignore them.
In the past, Boyikao had only seen the old man's herbal tea stall from a distance, but he never condescended to go and drink tea.
Now he sat down on the dirt-covered bench very naturally and greeted the old man to serve him a bowl of authentic Xiqi herbal tea.
While drinking tea, Boyikao squinted and looked at everything outside the city.
Everything I have seen and heard in the past three years can be recalled in this bowl of sweet and slightly bitter herbal tea.
There were people around who were also drinking tea. Seeing that Boyikao's temperament was not ordinary, they all greeted him politely.
Boyikao also responded politely.
After three bowls of tea, I reached into my pocket and dug through it, but I didn't take out the money.
A somewhat embarrassed look appeared on his face.
Returning to Xiqi after a long absence, Boyikao was so excited that he forgot that he was now a penniless poor man.
The last meal was yesterday morning.
What he ate was a rabbit he had killed in a tree.
"The guest is inconvenienced?"
"It doesn't matter, let's go! Let's go!"
"I can still afford three bowls of tea." The old man selling herbal tea saw Boyikao's embarrassment and said politely.
Xiqi City still has simple folk customs.
If even this is false, how true is Xibohou's reputation as a sage?
But Boyikao did not default on the bill like this, but smiled and said: "Old man, wait a moment, I will definitely lose your tea money."
After saying that, he waved his hand and formed a talisman.
The talisman's light flickers, but in the eyes of mortals, it has no manifestation.
Never waited for more than half a stick of incense.
I saw a group of cavalry rushing out of the city gate.
The sound of horse hooves resonated so much that the ground seemed to be shaking.
In the dust, this group of cavalry escorted a bronze carriage out of the city.
The bronze carriage was pulled by four dragon horses, which looked much taller than ordinary war horses. They had dragon horns on their heads and dragon scales on their backs.
Wherever he passed, not only the surrounding animals were trembling, but even the pedestrians on the roadside showed signs of horror.
Boyikao frowned, a little dissatisfied.
Before he left Xiqi three years ago, he had not had such an extravagant and arrogant style.
But I don’t know why, but it looks like this now.
The bronze carriage stopped in front of the herbal tea stall. The curtain of the carriage was opened by two young girls driving the carriage. Ji Fa, Boyikao's second brother, took advantage of the situation and came out.
Dressed in luxury, yet heroic in appearance.
There is a bit of unruliness in his heroic spirit, which is very different from the humble and polite second son Ji Fa in Boyikao's memory.
"Brother!" Ji Fa got out of the car and walked towards Boyikao, spreading his arms to hug him.
Boyikao was stunned.
Then he hugged Ji Fa.
At this time, Boyikao was in a mess, full of filth and mud.
But Ji Fa was radiant, luxurious and indescribably noble.
The two embraced each other, as if the sky and the ground briefly overlapped.
"Brother! You are finally back!"
"If you don't come back, I will send people to find you." Ji Fa said enthusiastically.
It's just that the words that are unconsciously revealed are full of the flavor of 'ownership'.
It seems that Boyikao is a guest from afar.
After three years of experience in Boyikao, I can't help but hear the flavor in these words.
His expression did not change.
He just took some money from Ji Fa and said, "Lend me three pieces of shellfish, and I still owe three bowls of tea money!"
The common people and the tea stall owner were already kneeling aside.
Ji Fa laughed, took off a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and threw it on the tea table.
"This is worth my brother's tea money!" After saying that, he dragged Boyikao to the carriage.
Boyikao was not pulled, but stood on the spot. He suddenly seemed to wake up, and with unfamiliar eyes, he took one last look at the gate of Xiqi City.
"No!"
“When I come back, I don’t want to leave!”
"Second brother, Xiqi... you manage things very well. My eldest brother has also heard of your good reputation during these years outside."
"Now, eldest brother is going to Chaoge!"
"Go to Chaoge! Save our father!"
