Chapter 234: The Taoist priest worked overtime for ten days, the crisis was approaching, the spiritual sense warned, the wind started to blow.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Miaozi suddenly remembered that he might be a little hungry, so he slipped out of the cave along the wall.
For a moment, Yi Chen and Shui Lingyue were the only ones left in the cave.
The two looked at each other.
Just when Yi Chen was about to speak to break the silence, Shui Lingyue's long eyelashes suddenly fluttered, she blinked playfully, and chuckled, breaking the silence.
"Master Yi, are you afraid that Lingyue will get involved with you? This is not the bold Yi Chengzi I know."
"Don't worry, nothing happened. Lingyue has turned a disaster into a blessing. Her aptitude has greatly improved and she is determined to achieve great success."
"Although the soul-binding talisman on Lingyue has been removed, the effect is still there. It will take a day or two for her to recover. I may need the Taoist priest to escort me back to Yunzhong County. I have a separate courtyard in this city, which is suitable for spiritual practice."
Shui Lingyue walked forward slowly, tiptoed slightly on her slender feet, and straightened Yi Chen's collar which had been blown a little askew by the wind.
"Lingyue, I..."
Yi Chen was about to speak, but was interrupted by Shui Lingyue's gesture of silence.
"Don't make any noise. I don't want to hear anything now. Send me back to Yunzhong County."
"With your talent, how can you stay in a corner? You can leave when the time comes. A true dragon should soar into the sky, instead of imprisoning yourself in a circle without freedom."
"Lingyue has gained some insights in cultivation now, and should...should stay in Yunzhong Mansion for a long time."
A pair of bright and charming eyes came into Yi Chen's sight, as if they could speak.
"Then let's go now." Yi Chen sighed inwardly. Shui Lingyue had already said everything. What else could he say?
As Shui Lingyue looked in surprise, a big hand held her jade-white little hand.
"Meow, come back to your father. Where have you been?"
Yi Chen, feeling inexplicably irritated, lost his temper towards his eldest son and yelled towards the cave entrance.
Not long after, a little black cat came in curiously, holding a bright red rose picked from some corner of the mountain in its mouth. It meowed at Yi Chen in a flattering manner, and suddenly a sound of meowing sounded in Yi Chen's heart.
"You bastard, you're actually teaching me how to do things." Yi Chen couldn't help laughing at the funny little joker of his eldest son. He snatched the rose from his mouth in a bad mood and stuffed it into the spirit beast's bag.
“This flower is quite pretty.”
"Master, let's set off now." A rose suddenly appeared in Shui Lingyue's hand.
Yi Chen turned his head away, not daring to look closely at Shui Lingyue's expression. He put his arms around Shui Lingyue's slender waist and slipped out of the cave, heading towards Yunzhong Mansion.
Yunzhong County is located at the end of the Nanshui River. The Ziji Snow Peak behind the city is the source of the Nanshui River.
The Ziji Snow Peak is at an extremely high altitude. The foot of the mountain is verdant, but the vegetation becomes increasingly sparse as you go up. Thousands of meters up, it is covered in snow, like a green mountain with white hair.
Because half of the Ziji Snow Peak is shrouded in clouds, the huge city located at the foot of the peak is called Yunzhong County.
"Master, look below. That is the famous scenery near Yunzhong County - Hundreds of Dolphins in the Sea. Those vast green mountains look like the sea, and those peaks look like green dolphins."
"The lake in the distance is Narcissus Lake. It's a lot of fun there. When I was a kid, my aunt and uncle often took me there for an outing."
Shui Lingyue held the rose branch tightly in her jade hands and excitedly introduced the beautiful scenery of Yunzhong County to Yi Chen.
The so-called "hundreds of pigs making trouble in the sea" is fine, but when it comes to Narcissus Lake, Yi Chen's eyes suddenly light up.
“Are there a lot of fish in there?”
"A lot." Shui Lingyue looked at Yi Chen in surprise.
"Not bad." Yi Chen nodded with satisfaction.
After a day's flying, the sun was setting and Yunzhong County was already in sight.
Shui Lingyue looked at the huge city in the distance, her expression suddenly became depressed, and she suddenly said: "Master, I don't want to fly away anymore, why don't we walk into the city."
"Okay." Yi Chen dispersed the Jiyuan light shield that covered the two of them and landed on the ground. Then he took out the hood of the Overlord Chicken and put it on himself, and his body also shrank with a click.
"Master, what are you doing?" Shui Lingyue looked surprised.
"Well, I have a lot of enemies. Some are secretly investigating and targeting me. I have to be on guard." Yi Chen spread his hands helplessly.
At this moment, a jade hand suddenly took his hand, and a bright smiling face came into view.
"Come on, follow me to Mingyuezhai."
"My villa in Yunzhong County was left to me by my aunt. I haven't lived in it for a long time."
"Where are your aunt and uncle?"
Shui Lingyue paused for a moment after hearing this, and then continued, "My uncle died, and my aunt couldn't accept this fact, so she went to Shuiyue Temple to become a nun, and Mingyue Zhai was abandoned."
"Ah? Sorry."
"Then Lingyue, why have you stayed in the Shuiyue Temple branch in Fengyun County for so many years?" Yi Chen finally asked the question in his mind.
"Nothing. My Shui family was once rich, but now it is just a small declining family. The Nanshan Linyue, the most prestigious family in Nanshan County, took a fancy to me and wanted to marry me, but I didn't want to, so I had a falling out with my family. In order to protect me, my father couldn't get rid of the elders of the family, so he thought of a way to drive me out of the family."
"Then I became a monk at Shuiyue Temple and left Jiangnan Road. I stayed in the remote area of Fengyun County for a while to avoid the limelight."
"A few days ago, my aunt successfully advanced to the fourth level of the True Person Realm. She said that the Nanshan family's affairs had been resolved. Since my six senses were not yet pure, I simply returned to secular life."
"I didn't expect there would be so many twists and turns." Yi Chen nodded.
Afterwards, the two of them held hands and walked silently on the official road to Yunshan County. It seemed that they both had their own concerns and did not speak a word along the way.
They walked through the bushes on both sides of the road, passed the wild flowers on the roadside, and entered the city gate of Yunzhong County. The setting sun stretched their shadows very long, and their pace became slower and slower.
However, no matter how slow the pace was, it would eventually come to an end. When the bright moon climbed up the sky, the two had already entered Mingyue Zhai.
"Master, do you have anything to say to me before you leave?" Shui Lingyue suddenly said.
"Um, Lingyue, are there any black bass in Narcissus Lake? I want to cast a few lines."
The air froze for two and a half seconds.
Shui Lingyue spoke again, this time with a blank expression on her face.
"Maybe."
"Master, I'm here. Mingyuezhai has been unattended for a long time, so I won't let you stay overnight. Please leave."
"Well, okay then. Take care of yourself." Yi Chen touched his nose angrily, pushed the door, and his figure disappeared into the night.
The watery moon is bright and majestic, with both the softness and strength of water.
Like a rose blooming on a snowy mountain.
Both cool and warm.
Finally, she asked Yi Chen if he had anything to say to her. This was the limit of what she could do.
There was no way she would ask Yi Chen to stay.
At her most desperate moment, Yi Chen descended from the sky like a god. No one knew how surprised she was when she received Yi Chen's message at the banquet.
It was as if the divine light shone like heaven's pardon, illuminating the dark underworld.
This was how she felt at the time.
After that, the shadow of a Taoist priest was deeply engraved in her heart.
As the door creaked shut, Shui Lingyue felt as if her heart was poured with molten iron, and she felt very blocked.
"All conditioned phenomena."
"It's like a dream."
"Like dew and lightning."
“We should view it this way.”
She sighed, went to the room in the villa and started cleaning.
She did not use any magic, but instead took a rag and began to wipe carefully, wiping every corner of the room. Her knuckles were clenched until they turned white, as if she was trying to wipe out someone's shadow from her heart.
Just as she was wiping the bronze mirror in the room vigorously, brushing away the thick dust on the mirror surface, a line of light-colored small words suddenly appeared at the bottom of the mirror.
"A bright moon night before Mingyuezhai."
"The moon is still as bright as silver."
"Mingyue is obviously the predecessor."
"Turning back and smiling, thousands of years of coldness and tranquility."
"It shines through the universe like water, and also illuminates the dust."
"Don't exchange the round face for a frown."
"Three or five nights in the human world, I miss the person in the mirror."
Signed: Chen Zengshou.
This is the handwriting of his uncle who died of injuries and illness. I think it was written in the last moments of his life.
Looking at the beautiful figure in the bronze mirror, Shui Lingyue's suppressed emotions burst out and crystal tears fell.
"Then just forget it. Don't think that I am clinging to you."
Shui Lingyue looked at herself in the mirror, lost in thought.
She has her pride. In the past, she was able to give up a life of luxury in exchange for freedom. Today, she will never give up her pride and let people misunderstand her.
At this moment, a series of familiar meows suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall.
Then there was a steady knock on the door.
"Who is it~" Shui Lingyue wiped her tears in panic, trying her best to calm down and called out in a tender voice.
"It's me, the Pure Yang of the World, the Yichengzi!"
A strong voice came through the door.
"Why did you come back? Didn't you leave?"
Shui Lingyue hurriedly adjusted her skirt in front of the bronze mirror. After taking three deep breaths, she finally arrived at the gate of the villa.
"The water pipe in Mingyuezhai burst. I'm here to fix it."
"You farted, the water pipe is fine."
Shui Lingyue glanced at the bamboo tube behind her that was used to transport spring water, and found that there was nothing wrong with it.
She opened the door unhappily, feeling nervous like a little girl waiting for her lover.
The door slowly opened.
A familiar majestic figure came into her sight.
I saw that Yi Chen had changed into a new Taoist robe and had a big bunch of roses in his hand.
"The flowers are beautiful, aren't they? When I came back, I saw that you liked them very much, so I went out to find a place to take a bath just now, and then I saw that the flowers in a rose garden of a family were blooming beautifully, so I plucked them all."
"Ninety-nine of them. I don't want any that are inferior."
Yi Chen smiled and raised the bouquet of roses in his hand.
"Why did you come back~" Shui Lingyue's heart skipped a beat when she looked at the roses. She controlled her emotions and placed her left and right hands on the door ring, ready to close the door at any time.
"Let me in and talk."
Yi Chen squeezed in sideways, put away the cynical look on his face, and said solemnly, "Lingyue, are you afraid of death? Are you afraid of being a widow?"
"I can't marry the kind again. I'm a petty person!"
"Think it over before answering. I can give you half an hour!"
——
"Don't think about it."
"I will be yours forever, and I am willing to be dust and ashes."
Shui Lingyue hooked her fair little finger on Yi Chen's little finger and made a hook with Miaozi's witness.
She was no longer shy, and regardless of the tears pouring out, she threw herself into Yi Chen's arms like a young swallow flying into the forest at dusk.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Meow, go out and get some soy sauce."
"Don't come back if nothing happens. If something happens, don't come back unless you get chopped."
Yi Chen picked up the cat by the scruff of its neck and put it outside the door, then with a snap, the door suddenly closed.
The person under the moon is like jade.
Yi Chen grinned, picked up the shy Shui Lingyue by the waist and carried her into the room. Shui Lingyue buried her head in his chest, not daring to look at anything, her cheeks flushed red.
"Yeah, the room is ready."
It was three o'clock in the morning.
The Overlord took off his armor, the Overlord drew his halberd, the Overlord... it was the fourth watch of the night.
Fish and dragon dance.
It was five o'clock in the morning.
Fish and dragon dance.
It was six o'clock in the morning.
Send! It wasn’t the Taoist priest who sent it! It was the nun who couldn’t hold it anymore! Send! —
On the second day, the sun rose in the east, and its path was bright.
Yi Chen prepared a few side dishes, boiled a bowl of red dates and white rice porridge, and lifted a corner of the brocade quilt.
"You must be exhausted. Come, have something to eat."
While Shui Lingyue, with a blushing face, was eating breakfast in small sips, Yi Chen was already preparing bait beside her.
"Lingyue, take a good rest. I'm going to go fishing."
After tucking in the corner of the quilt for Shui Lingyue, Yi Chen changed his appearance, slowly walked out of Mingyue Zhai, and then ran straight to Narcissus Lake.

Two villains were quarreling in Yi Chen's mind.
One of the little white men said, "Yichengzi, Yichengzi, how can you continue to degenerate like this? You need to stand up straight. The land of gentleness is the grave of heroes."
Another blue little man said: "I have practiced hard for so long, what's wrong with enjoying myself? If I practice and live a miserable life every day, then what have I practiced for?"
"A turtle lives longer, and a stone lives longer than a turtle. Do we have to compare?"
Later, the white man thought that the blue man was right, and the two reached an agreement.

Day 7.
The white man and the blue man were arguing again, but the blue man was more skilled and knocked the white man unconscious.
"Teacher, try this piece of Mapo Tofu. It's very delicious. It was taught to me by an old friend. There is a secret recipe. It takes three times of thickening to make it so delicious."
Yi Chen proudly put a piece of mapo tofu into Shui Lingyue's bowl with chopsticks.
"Dead face, don't call me Master, call me Lingyue."
"Then I'll call at night."
"Bah, by the way, is your good friend a boy or a girl~" Shui Lingyue gave Yi Chen a charming look. A pair of white embroidered shoes had been quietly taken off under the table, and a white and tender lotus foot wrapped in silk stockings was rubbing his calf.
Hiss! No fishing today.

Day 9.
Today, a bad boy came to the fishing friends and proudly told everyone about his experiences of bullying men and women.
Taoist Air Force.
Yi Chen returned to Mingyuezhai and knocked the man into the water with a bench.
It was this boy who ruined his feng shui. Besides, if he was not a strong man like Yichengzi, how could he dare to go fishing without a helmet?
Red sleeves add fragrance to the night reading.
Fish and dragon dance.
——
The tenth day.
Yi Chen suddenly woke up from his shock, and the golden god in the Baihui acupoint between his eyebrows suddenly opened his eyes.
Before he knew it, Yi Chen's back was soaked and he was sweating from the shock.
"Damn it, it was just a sudden impulse, a spiritual warning."
"I'm afraid something big has happened."
Yi Chen couldn't help but fall into a long contemplation... In the morning, Shui Lingyue looked at the table full of dishes and couldn't help but yawning and asked, "Husband, are you not going fishing today?"
"Not today. I have to leave today to take care of some things. I'll pick you up after I'm done."
"Lingyue, don't tell anyone about your relationship with me, or something bad may happen."
"This is the golden order to bind the blue dragon. This man is the deputy commander of the Jiangnan Dao Zhen'an Division. He owes me a life. If you have any difficulties, take this order to him and he will help you."
Yi Chen said to Shui Lingyue seriously.
Shui Lingyue was silent for a moment, and then continued after a while: "Husband, what happened?"
"Nothing, I have been a bit too indulgent these past few days, it's time to practice for a while."
"Lingyue, don't worry. Give me another ten years. When my strength and cultivation level improve a little, I will marry you."
"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Shui Lingyue smiled and didn't ask any further questions, appearing very well-behaved.
After two cups of tea.
Yi Chen: "Have you finished eating?"
"We've finished eating. What's wrong? Are you leaving now?" Shui Lingyue showed a look of surprise on her face.
"Elbow, follow me into the house, and let's do the dragon dance one last time."
The next chapter may be a little late. I'll eat some instant noodles first.
Thank you all for your support, bow down.
