Chapter 255 Guanxu and Tianji
Yun Chen's older sister, Yun Lan, has given birth to several children, so she is naturally quite experienced in matters concerning marriage.
When leaving Youzhou Yun Mansion that day, Yun Lan mysteriously handed a small package to Yun Chen, and said that Bao Huo Gannian would like it when he saw it.
Since then, Yun Chen has forgotten about it, but Huo Gannian has always been thinking about it.
He opened the package and took a look when Yun Chen was not paying attention.
There's nothing excessive about it.
It was just a gauze dress as thin as a cicada's wing that looked as good as nothing when worn, a short bellyband that was only the size of two palms, and a lotus-colored long skirt with hollow brocade.
And a bottle of "little pills" that can make people extremely sensitive and focused during sex.
This time when he returned to Beijing to report on his work, Huo Gannian originally planned to travel around with Yun Chen.
Naturally, you have to always find a place to spend the night, and always find a place with no one around at the right time and place.
So when he was packing the package, Huo Gannian just had a slight thought and simply took the small package with him.
However, he didn't expect that this Taoist priest was very good at fortune-telling. Not only did he predict that Huo Gannian and Yun Chen would come to stay overnight, he even knew what was in Huo Gannian's package that couldn't be brought into the Taoist temple.
Faced with such a powerful hermit, Huo Gannian had no choice but to put the package outside the gate of the Taoist temple.
When Yun Chen found out that the Taoist priest had blocked their way with a barrier, causing the two of them to walk a lot of hard and unnecessary distance, and that it was for this reason, he felt ashamed and annoyed. He was so angry that he hit Huo Gannian and was too ashamed to face anyone.
The Taoist priest did not find it strange to see "two men flirting with each other", as he obviously knew that Yun Chen was a woman.
The two sat down at the tea table opposite the Taoist priest, and Huo Gannian said with conviction:
"Master, your magic is so powerful that it truly opens my eyes. May I ask your honorific title?"
The Taoist bowed and said, "I am humble, but you are too kind, General."
Yun Chen asked curiously, "Master Guanxu, you seemed to know we were coming? You knew we were in the military, and you also knew I was a woman?"
Guanxu smiled: "It's all written on your face, of course you know it."
Yun Chen touched his face and said, "So the Taoist priest can tell fortunes, is that what you mean?"
"Haha..." Guanxu said, "This encounter between me and you two is inevitable. This is destined by heaven. I am just lucky enough to know it in advance."
Huo Gannian nodded and said, "So that's how it is. 'Void' is one, it is ten thousand. The secrets of heaven cannot be altered, but they can be 'observed'. Hence the name 'Observing Void'."
Guanxu showed an expression of approval and appreciation, "Tao follows nature. General, you have spiritual roots."
Yun Chen couldn't understand a word they said. He had been walking and climbing a mountain all day and was already tired.
Listening to the riddle-like conversation between Huo Gannian and Guanxu, she felt even more drowsy.
She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes and subconsciously looked for a place to sleep.
She saw a large black and white patterned mat on the floor of the Taoist temple. She was too sleepy to think about it, so she just walked over and lay down, and fell asleep.
In the yard, Huo Gannian and Guanxu were still discussing Taoism, from dusk to dark, and from dark to dawn.
From the discussion of every flower and leaf to the cycle of reincarnation and cause and effect, and from the discussion of the great harmony of the world to purity and inaction.
It was not until a faint red glow appeared in the east that Huo Gannian realized how much time had passed.
But if it were a long time, Huo Gannian felt that it was only a short night, and many things in his heart had turned upside down, as if he had a new pair of eyes to look at the world.
He felt a little unsatisfied and was about to speak, but Guanxu saw through his thoughts again, waved his hand, and said:
"I will definitely be with you, but this is only our chance, so don't force it."
Huo Gannian had to give up the idea of asking Guanxu to come out of seclusion.
Indeed, a reclusive master like Guanxu would not be interested in the pursuit of fame and fortune.
"Master, I would like to ask you three final questions," Huo Gannian said.
Guan Xu smiled but did not answer. He took out six sheets of paper and two pens and handed them to Huo Gan to read half of it:
"Three questions, you ask, I answer."
Huo Gannian then wrote down three questions. Guanxu didn't even see what Huo Gannian wrote, but he wrote down three answers on the paper at the same time.
They both put the paper on the table.
Guanxu gestured for invitation, "Let's go backwards, starting with your third question."
Huo Gannian opened the paper and saw the words "Nan Kingdom" written on it.
Guanxu then pushed a piece of paper over.
Huo Gannian opened it and saw the words "Three Kingdoms Return to Nan" written on it. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.
Turning to the second question, Huo Gannian asked about the "Huo Gang," and Guanxu replied with the same four words: "All under heaven share the same surname."
Huo Gannian raised his eyebrows slightly, suppressing the dark look in his eyes, and praised with a somewhat stiff expression:
"The Taoist priest is extremely courageous."
Guanxu looked straight into his eyes, smiled but said nothing.
So, Huo Gannian picked up the last question, which was also the one he cared about the most, but before he could turn the page, Guanxu gently pressed him down.
Facing Huo Gannian's doubtful gaze, Guanxu asked:
"If I tell you that if you stay with her, you will live apart and die together, will you break up with her right now?"
"No." Huo Gannian answered firmly:
"Sharing the same bed in life and the same blood in death. Life and death are but the cycle of fate. As long as I can be with her, I have nothing to fear."
Guanxu asked again, "What if I say that if you two are together, the world will prosper if you separate, but will perish if you unite, will you still stick to your previous answer?"
This time Huo Gannian was silent.
The world?
He just wanted to grow old with his beloved Yun Chen, so was he really going to affect the fate of all living beings in the world?
If that's the case...
Huo Gan thought: "If it really comes to that, I will give up the world to seek her, since everything is predetermined——"
Guanxu took over Huo Gannian's words and said, "Yes, since everything is predetermined, what's the point in asking? It will only cause more trouble. No matter what I say today, or what the outcome will be tomorrow, it will not change your current mindset. So it's better not to ask."
Huo Gannian seemed to understand, but he didn't understand. He knew he just didn't dare to think about it.
He and Guanxu looked towards the main hall of the Taoist temple at the same time.
Under the majestic statue of the Heavenly Lord who subdues demons and protects the way, Yun Chen was sleeping soundly on the Bagua mat at the feet of the statue.
On the other side of the mat, there was a cat that often came to the temple to steal fruits to keep her company.
She is like a playful yet loyal and brave pet that accompanies Tianzun.
He is usually very powerful and travels with Tianzun to the south and the north to pacify demons in the four seas.
At this moment, she is rarely defenseless, with her belly exposed, turning into a soft milk ball. You can't wait to hug her in your arms, hold her in your hands, and you don't know how to care for her.
Looking at this scene, Huo Gannian suddenly didn't want to know any answers.
What does it matter if he knows? Nothing can stop his determination to spend his life with her.
As if he realized that there were two pairs of eyes looking at him, Yun Chen stretched comfortably and woke up slowly.
She looked outside the hall and saw that it was already bright outside. The blue sky was high and vast, the sea of clouds was surging, and the mountains were bathed in the golden morning sun.
In front of such a beautiful and fairy-like scenery, Huo Gannian and Guanxu sat opposite each other with their sleeves fluttering in the wind. Huo Gannian's face even had a touch of immortal feeling.
For a moment, Yun Chen felt that they were like two gods.
