In the snowy night, the figures of Liu Nian and Feng Zun came to the top of a mountain.
Looking back at the human city, Liu Nian smiled slowly.
"Are you relieved now?" Feng Zun asked Liu Nian helplessly.
Liu Nian nodded, "Don't worry."
"This is an interesting man, elegant and peaceful, who seems to be a friend rather than an enemy..."
Feng Zun shook his head and smiled, "Not only are we friends, but we are not enemies. If you encounter difficult problems in human affairs, you may be able to ask him for advice..."
Liu Nian was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked doubtfully: "What does this mean?"
Feng Zun looked at the slow Liu Nian and rolled his eyes helplessly, "You are far behind Su Changsheng, both in mind and experience."
"You didn't see it, but I did. He has an extremely strong dragon energy..." Feng Zun thought for a while, as if he didn't know how to describe it, "It's like the emperor of the entire human world." Feeling angry."
Liu Nian was puzzled. He was the Human Emperor. How could someone appear who was more like the Human Emperor than him?
Feng Zun seemed to have noticed Liu Nian's doubts, and shook his head in confusion, "Maybe he was born with royal aura."
"But I always feel that it's not that simple..."
"The way he moves and behaves is as if he was born to be an emperor. Now he looks like an old monster who has been in power for countless years but then abdicated and lived in seclusion."
Liu Nian was thoughtful, recalling Su Mo's form, "It doesn't look like an old monster. Except for the white hair on his head, he looks no different from me."
"What's more, no matter how old he is, will he still be as old as you?"
For a moment, Feng Zun's expression became unpredictable, and there seemed to be a playful smile in his eyes as he looked at Liu Nian.
Liu Nian suddenly woke up, and then sighed deeply and sadly...
...
In the attic above the restaurant in the city, Xiao Xuanji looked at the rare smile on Su Mo's face and said to Su Mo, "This human emperor is so interesting..."
Su Mo nodded and sighed, "Yes, if all the people in this world could have enough food and clothing, be safe and happy, maybe everyone in the world would be so interesting."
If the world is not full of hardships, who wouldn't want to smile?
Xiao Xuanji tilted his little head in confusion and thought for a while, then agreed, "Yeah, it feels much more interesting than our fairyland."
"The human world is better..."
After all, he still didn't understand the meaning of Su Mo's words, he only found them interesting.
Su Mo turned around and looked at the mess of the wine glasses left by Liu Nian and Liu Nian after they finished drinking, and seemed to be a little envious...
If he had not been born before the Nine Heavens Catastrophe, would he have been like them?
Both are human emperors and belong to the Phoenix clan, but they seem to be different.
That period of regret is buried in the long river, and I don’t know what it will become.
What is the meaning of the word love? Su Mo still didn't know.
But I remembered the sadness in the phoenix girl's eyes when she left the demon world...
It is no longer clear whether the phrase "love has no explanation" that Feng Nu said back then was referring to Su Mo's three questions or the answer to the question Su Mo once asked her.
I wonder if that little fish is okay?
If there were no catastrophes in the world, if things could happen again...
Maybe he, Su Mo, would be an ordinary mortal... guarding a bookstore, marrying a wife and having children, and ending his life.
There seems to be nothing wrong with being a mortal.
Su Mo looked out the window at the human scene. The cold wind blew into the restaurant, causing Su Mo's white hair to flutter...
On the white hair, the mirror of reincarnation hung precariously on one end of the ink pen.
There seems to be a little bronze light shining non-stop...
It was born from reincarnation, and connected with Su Mo's thoughts through the writings of common people.
It heard the longing for peace and vision in Su Mo's mind, and the desire to look up to a mortal...
It's just that the ignorant spiritual consciousness that was born in the Samsara Mirror couldn't tell the reason, but it just kept Su Mo's idea firmly in his heart.
It turns out that Su Mo wanted to be a mortal...
...
Winter passes and spring comes, and another season comes.
The snow is melting and the flowers are blooming, and people in the city seem to be getting busy again...
The warmth of the world has returned, and the branches of the dead trees and willows have sprouted a little green, adding vitality to the decaying scenery that has gone cold.
The restaurants in the city are still there, but there are fewer people coming.
There are only a few elderly regular customers who seem to be unable to give up the habit of drinking in this restaurant. They still come to the restaurant to drink in their spare time every day.
In Su Mo's restaurant, these old men were the only ones here.
It was just the disappearance of the storyteller's voice in the restaurant that made them sigh.
They don't know when they will pass away like the old shopkeeper.
Birth, old age, illness and death are normal conditions in the human world, but there are still some old people who look at the changes in things and people in the restaurant with unclear expressions.
Su Mo just reads books every day, reading various books.
He seemed to have regained the feeling he had when he was a scholar, feeling that he could never see enough.
Xiao Xuanji stayed with Su Mo all day long, looking at Su Mo.
"Senior brother, why do you like reading so much?"
Su Mo put down the book he had read and raised his hand to pick up another one, "Reading books can help you understand right and wrong, and you can also understand the meaning of the book! And there is..."
"Senior brother is a man who has become an immortal through Confucianism and Taoism. He has always been just a scholar..."
Confucianism and Taoism become immortals... Xiao Xuanji thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I want to see it too!"
I don't know when, Xiao Xuanji started to worship and look up to everything about Su Mo, as if he felt that this is what an immortal should be like.
Detached and peaceful, quiet and elegant.
Unknowingly, Xiao Xuanji seemed to want to be Su Mo's shadow.
He and his senior brother are similar in that they are both good at chess and calculating...
It's just that what Su Mo is good at calculating is cause and effect, while what Xiao Xuanji is good at calculating is Tianji.
He also asked Su Mo: Do you want the Tianji technique from our Tianji lineage?
But Su Mo refused. Su Mo said: Under reincarnation, there is cause and effect, and within cause and effect are all the secrets of heaven.
Su Mo blurted out these words without knowing why.
Xiao Xuanji knew that Su Mo was afraid. I am afraid that if I know too much, I will not dare to face the future...
But he also said that the fortune-telling skills of the Tianji lineage are not considered one's own.
Because it can’t be calculated!
"By the way..." Xiao Xuanji seemed to suddenly think of something and said to Su Mo, "Senior brother, I bought the barren hill behind our restaurant yesterday."
"I also bought some peach stones. When are we going to plant them?"
"In a few years, we will have peach blossom stuffed wine..."
Su Moxi sighed deeply, "If you want to see the flowers bloom, you don't have to wait a few years..."
Xiao Xuanji was puzzled and looked at Su Mo doubtfully.
Su Mo didn't explain too much, just waved his hand and appeared directly on the barren hill behind the restaurant with a little mystery.
Su Mo stretched out his hand towards Xiao Xuanji. Xiao Xuanji was stunned and immediately took out a large bag of peach stones.
Su Mo waved his hand gently, and the peach cores flew out of the bag on their own.
The peach stones flew up and scattered all over the mountains, and then merged into the soil.
When Xiao Xuanji was confused, he saw green peach trees suddenly appearing on the surrounding mountains.
The peach trees grew and turned into a sea of peach trees in a moment...
A wisp of spring breeze blew by, and peach blossoms slowly grew on the branches of the peach trees...
In just a moment, the mountains of peach blossoms seemed to wrap tightly around the two of them.
At first glance, it looks like tenderness!
Xiao Xuanji looked at the beautiful peach mountains around him, smelled the faint fragrance of peach blossoms, and was mesmerized...
"What a nice view......"
