Lin Du was not easy to practice meditation, and he spent most of his time either reading or sleeping. During the half-day journey, Lin Du almost fell asleep, and he was only called out by Ni Jinxuan to drink some medicine.
This was the first time that Wei Zhi saw Lin Du's bitter and hateful side. He drank the medicine as if he were a warrior who was ready to die. A sip of the stuffy medicine brought out the tragic feeling of a strong man breaking his wrist.
"Drink it, drink it." Lin Du lowered his head and bit into an orange candy. After dealing with Ni Jinxuan, he tucked himself into the cabin and closed his eyes.
The spirit boat reached the junction and slowly descended to the sea.
The sea was very stormy, but Cang Li could sleep peacefully for his little junior sister. The spirit boat seemed simple, but it was actually very stable.
Yuan Ye became melancholy when he landed on the sea. His mouth was still grinning, but his eyes were no longer smiling.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Jinxuan also noticed something strange about him.
"No," Yuan Ye subconsciously replied, but when he met Jinxuan's innocent eyes, he quickly relaxed and smiled, "It's okay, I'm a bit... timid about being close to home."
I'm afraid that after going back, the world will change, and after going down the mountain, I will no longer know the sun and the moon in the world.
Jinxuan was puzzled, "That's your hometown, shouldn't you be happy when you go home?"
Yuan Ye shook his head. He really didn't know why the junior uncle insisted on taking Ni Jinxuan with him. Her temperament was not suitable for him to deal with the royal family. Even a little eunuch could easily deceive her into nothing. .
He sat on the bow of the boat, playing with a weird nine-ring ring with both hands, "No."
Ni Jinxuan knew almost nothing about the royal family. Yuan Ye thought for a while and decided to explain it to her directly so that she would not think that everyone was a good person and everyone told the truth.
"Before I left, the Great Zhou Dynasty was troubled internally and externally. There were Xixia tigers and tigers outside, and there were redundant officials, ignorant people and an old and suspicious emperor inside." Yuan Ye laughed at himself, "My father is not very capable. If he can be a conservative in the prosperous age, Jun was reluctant, but it was a pity that Dazhou had already begun to lose when he took over."
"Maybe, I was still the emperor before I left, but I won't be when I go back."
Ni Jinxuan seemed to understand, "Then, in a dynasty, is the emperor so important? One person can determine the rise and fall of a country?"
Yuan Ye thought for a while, "Because the civil emperor is like our heaven. We must abide by the rules set by heaven. Everyone in the world must abide by the rules set by the emperor."
"Is such a great power only given to an ordinary person? The law of heaven is powerful and fair. Yan Qing said before that you are also qualified to be the emperor?"
"Yes," Yuan Ye lowered his eyes, and the nine-link ring in his hand jingled, "I am also qualified to be the emperor, but as you said, with such great power, a person who can do wrong things, or even be weak and biased, How can you sit still?"
However, when sailing on the sea, there are strong winds and waves, and people's livelihood is bumpy.
"I don't think I can sit in that position, nor can I turn the tide." Yuan Ye smiled, "For that position, everyone is in danger, everyone covers up, and everyone fights for it. It is not the last piece of meat on our table. , If you can’t grab it, just smile.”
"If you can't grab it, you will die, so Jinxuan, when I go back this time, no matter whether the sun and the moon have moved or not, my identity will probably be embarrassing."
Yuan Ye met Jinxuan's dark and worried gaze and said seriously, "You will be regarded as my accomplices. There may be many people who please you, and there may be many who are hostile to you. You just treat it as my junior uncle." I'm taking you to watch a play. Everything they say is in the play. You can only listen to it, but you can't take it seriously."
Lin Du was not actually sleeping, but he was so painful from the medicine that he could not speak. He could not face Jinxuan with a cold face, so he went back to the cabin and pretended to be asleep. When he heard the words in front of him, his closed eyelashes trembled slightly.
"I seem to know why you like that little dragon man more." Wei Zhi's voice sounded next to Lin Du's ears again.
Lin Du responded to him with his spiritual consciousness, "How on earth did you see that I like Yuan Ye more?"
Wei Zhi thought for a while, "It's more about trusting or relaxing than liking her."
"You protect that little girl at all times, you are considerate and well-behaved in front of another medical cultivator, and you have an excellent friendship with Mo Lin and the Yan family, but you are not casual enough. To Yuan Ye, you don't think before speaking, it's a bit like It’s about not being afraid of saying the wrong thing.”
Lin Du smiled, "Then tell me why you are not afraid of saying the wrong thing?"
"Because he is smart enough, at least in terms of human relations." Wei Zhi rubbed the beads in his hand, "At least like you, he is a person tempered by the world. You are not worried that your behavior will affect him too much, but the rest The temperaments of several of them have not yet been fully formed, especially the little girl you watch most closely."
Lin Du rubbed his middle finger, "Are you just going around watching this excitement every day? Are you trying to figure out people's hearts like this?"
"No," Wei Zhi stood up. The boundary between the mortal world and the spiritual world had arrived. He raised his hand to form a seal. The bamboo raft and the spirit boat sank lightly into the air restrictions, and then emerged into the sea. There were no more Find the aura.
Lin Du frowned uncomfortably.
"I'm just curious. You always feel like there will be no tomorrow after today. There is a sense of all-or-nothing despair. But strings that are too tight are always bad. Don't push yourself too hard."
While Wei Zhi was reprimanding Lin Du in an elder's tone, he tilted his head to look at the several big fish below that were attracted by spiritual power to the vicinity of the spirit ship. He gently released his aura, and the group of big fish were immediately frightened and dived in. In the water, swim far away.
"You are the one who really has no tomorrow after today, right?" Lin Du said without mercy, "If you don't return to Buddhism, the demon world regards you as a natural enemy, and you disdain to associate with evil spirits. After thinking about it, you like Zhongzhou. The monks hate you but can't kill you, so they wander around Zhongzhou every day."
Wei Zhiduan sat on the bamboo raft, his monk's clothes fluttering in the sea breeze, "You are right."
The man who had never lost a debate when he was a child easily admitted defeat in front of Lin Du.
"Actually, as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed," Lin Du said to make up for it, "No wonder you have no hair after thinking so much."
Danger:...
Hair is what he wants, but life is not.
Seeing that they were about to dock, Lin Du stopped pretending to be asleep and moved forward to ask a question.
"Do you still have money on you? Money that you can use in the big week?"
The eyes of the melancholy young man who was still feeling sad suddenly widened, and then he took a breath, "No."
"Gold and silver must be exchanged for money before they can be used, right?" Lin Du suddenly felt that the most critical thing was that they were unprepared.
"Yes...and before I left, Dazhou's currency was in disarray and the treasury was empty...I have been gone for several years, and I don't know if the money can be used now."
The two of them looked at each other and looked up at the sky. It seemed that they had to return to the palace first before making any plans.
"Then...do you have anything on your body that can prove that you are a prince? What if they don't recognize you?"
Lin Du asked a fatal question. After all, he was still fair and fat when he entered the sect. Now that he has had his stripping, although his facial features are still the same, his face has become thinner.
"We still have this!" Yuan Ye took out a bright yellow edict, "Just... what if I die, or the Great Zhou Dynasty is directly destroyed?"
Ni Jinxuan also widened her eyes, "If Dazhou dies... what will we do?"
This is a good question.
The more Yuan Ye thought about it, the more frightened he became. From the secular world to the cultivation world, he had no money and was forced to wash dishes. He wouldn't be forced to wash dishes and pay off debts after returning, right?
Lin Du held his forehead to suppress a smile, and replied helplessly, "You still have dragon energy in your body, which means that your royal energy is not exhausted, so you can rest assured."
A group of people went ashore late at night. Fortunately, there was no curfew in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Yuan Ye grabbed a passerby who was obviously a wealthy businessman and asked, "What is your current name?"
The man looked doubtfully at the few people in front of him who were all dressed in rich clothes. Even the monk looked tall and thin, with an extraordinary temperament. Looking at the material on his body, it was difficult to compare with the person in the womb.
But after all, mortals naturally have a fondness for spiritual things. The man suppressed his doubts and replied, "It is now the third year of Xihe."
Yuan Ye's face turned pale, and the smile on his lips froze, "Well, I followed the master into the mountains for many years to practice meditation. When I went up the mountain, it was still the first month of the 20th year of Jingxuan."
Ni Jinxuan was startled when she heard this. No wonder Yuan Ye never called her by her name. It was because her name had the same pronunciation as the year number.
The man gave Yuan Ye a strange look and said, "That's true, but the Supreme Emperor is still here. He abdicated three years ago to make way for others."
Yuan Ye thought for a while and took out a small gold lock from the storage ring, "This is a thing that was made for me in my previous home when I was a child. Please tell me, brother, who is on the throne now?" "
"Hey, it's easy to talk about." The passerby fumbled with the golden lock, glanced left and right, and whispered in a low voice, "The one who succeeded to the throne is the former King Cheng."
"Four years ago, Lieutenant Xie was dismissed from his post for no apparent reason. After that, it is said that he became a monk and practiced cultivation. As a result, a year later he led troops to surround the imperial city, and together with King Cheng, he cleared the king's side and killed the old master who had confused the king! When King Cheng ascended the throne, Lieutenant Xie returned to the court."
Yuan Ye's face became paler and paler as he heard this, and finally he could hardly hold back his laughter. After politely sending the person away, he looked at Lin Du in a daze, "Little Master Uncle..."
Why did the second uncle who only liked farming in the past become the emperor? Why did a childhood reading companion turn into Lieutenant Xie who forced the palace to rebel? Why did the national master return to the secular world from the world of cultivation? And his life was hastily ended?
Lin Du reached out and patted his shoulder, "No matter what, it is better for your second uncle to succeed than the death of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You are now a member of our Supreme Sect, and the emperor of the mortal world cannot hurt you."
"Then we still have to go back to the palace?" Yuan Ye was a little dazed, "I'm afraid that my second uncle thought I came back to compete with him for the throne."
She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Not only do we want to return to the palace, but we also want to fall in front of your second uncle, the emperor, with all the glory and glory."
