Chapter 55: What is your prince's common name? He sold it in a few words...
Chi Yu rubbed it unconsciously for a long time, and after that he felt his mind became lighter.
Normally, one would feel tired after using spiritual awareness for a long time, but this time, there was no such feeling at all. Instead, I felt that my energy had become abundant.
He asked the prince, "Brother Xuanji, do you feel comfortable?"
Xie Xiyi replied: "Not bad."
Chi Yu said dissatisfiedly: "What does 'okay' mean? 'OK' is 'okay', 'no' is 'no'. 'OK' is too perfunctory."
Xie Xiyi said, "So what if it's comfortable? Do you want to rub it more often?"
Chi Yu couldn't help blushing and said with a chuckle, "Is it not possible?"
Xie Xiyi said: "Those who indulge in rich and delicious food and indulge in pleasure often fall into a shameless state, which leads to laziness and degeneration."
Chi Yu: "..."
I have no skills.jpg
Xie Xiyi continued, "You can rub my spiritual sense, but if you encounter another spiritual sense, you must know to avoid it. Don't foolishly collide with it. This is the most taboo thing among cultivators."
Chi Yu said weakly, "I know. I know this common sense."
The spiritual consciousness between cultivators is a weapon. Once two spiritual consciousnesses appear in the same space, they will automatically fight and become hostile. Therefore, when encountering another spiritual consciousness, they will usually retract their spiritual consciousness if they do not want to argue.
Of course he knows this common sense.
But Chi Yu really didn't expect that spiritual consciousness could be used in this way.
No, Chi Yu even felt that he benefited a little from it.
However, since the prince had said so, Chi Yu didn't feel comfortable inviting him to rub against him with his spiritual sense more often.
Chi Yu climbed up from the bed, feeling his whole body was soft and comfortable. After a while, he got up and went out.
When he opened the door, he saw Xiaoqiu leaning against the wall in the corridor and asked, "Xiaoqiu, what are you doing?"
When Xiaoqiu saw his eyes light up, he said, "Brother Aotian, I want to play with you, but I don't know if you have finished your training."
Chi Yu asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Xiaoqiu said, "I saw them releasing lanterns. I heard you can make a wish there."
"Okay, then let's go...you can ask your prince if he wants to go?" Chi Yu said.
Xiaoqiu lied: "I asked, His Highness wants to practice, we can just go."
Upon hearing this, Chi Yu didn't think much about it. This time was indeed the prince's training time.
They went downstairs hand in hand.
This mortal city is extremely bustling, with many mortals and smiling faces. It is a safe and peaceful place that has not been invaded by demons.
Chi Yu felt strange and lowered his voice to Xiaoqiu, "Strange! Isn't life in the wilderness difficult for mortals? Why are the people here so peaceful?"
Xiaoqiu was also a little puzzled. "I find it a little strange too. The book says that among the three continents of Dongjingzhou, Wangxianzhou, and Savage Land, Savage Land has the fewest mortal dynasties, and they are often destroyed. There are very few peaceful places. It is normal to have cultivator cities, but such a large mortal city is rare."
Chi Yu said, "Ask someone."
Chi Yu had a pretty face, the kind of well-behaved face that elders would like very much, so he casually pulled an old man to chat, and after a few words, the two of them were talking about everything.
When Chi Yu learned that this city was Yanjing, the capital of the Yu Dynasty, he couldn't help but say proudly, "I hear the world outside is in chaos, with demons and monsters running rampant, but our Yanjing is extremely safe. We haven't heard of any evil spirits causing trouble. This is all thanks to the wisdom of our Majesty, who established the Demon Suppression Bureau. Under the Demon Suppression Bureau, no monsters or demons can harm the world."
Chi Yu showed an amazed expression, "Is it really that amazing?"
But he thought to himself, this old man is not young, but he doesn't have a deep understanding of demons. It is obvious that the Yu Dynasty has been peaceful for many years.
The old man said, "Of course, our Yu Dynasty is the safest. I heard that our neighboring country, Jiang, was destroyed by monsters, so many refugees came and wanted to become our people. Your Majesty is kind and took them in."
The old man couldn't help but sigh at this point, "This world is in chaos, which makes our Majesty so wise and powerful."
His grandson came closer and whispered, "But I heard that our Majesty is also a monster—"
The old man's face changed, he covered the child's mouth and cursed: "Shut up, how can you say such a thing?"
He raised his head and smiled at Chi Yu: "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense. Our Majesty does have some rumors, but so what? How can we ordinary people not know who is truly kind to us? Even if it is true, so what?"
Chi Yu: Oh.
Chi Yu's curiosity was piqued. "Master, what are the rumors about His Majesty? Can you tell us about them?"
The old man kept silent. Chi Yu grabbed his sleeve and said, "Please, old man, I really want to know. If you tell me, I will never tell anyone. If I tell anyone, I will be struck by lightning."
Under such a fierce oath, the master's expression relaxed slightly. He pulled Chi Yu aside and said, "It's nothing. It's just that Your Majesty ascended the throne at the age of twenty-four. Now it has been over eighty years, but his appearance has not changed. He still looks like a young man. That's why this rumor came about."
Xiaoqiu muttered, "I thought it was some incredible rumor? Something that could be achieved with a longevity pill."
Uncle: "Longevity Pill? What is that?"
Xiaoqiu said, "It's a pill that can extend your lifespan by a hundred years if you take one. It's nothing special. However, the effect will be halved if you take a second pill. This thing can only extend your lifespan by two hundred years at most."
The old man looked as if you were dumbfounded reading a storybook. "There's no such thing in the world, kid. You can't take the storybook seriously."
As soon as Chi Yu heard this, he knew that the mortals here were very advanced, and cultivating immortals was still something that only existed in storybooks.
Chi Yu asked, "Master, is that all? Are there any other rumors?"
The old man was surprised and said, "Isn't this weird?"
Chi Yu said, "Perhaps Your Majesty has some secret to maintain his youthful appearance?"
The old man had no choice but to say, "There is also a rumor that His Majesty sacrificed young boys and girls to gain immortality."
Chi Yu: “Hmm?”
The old man said, "It's just a rumor. I heard that after the fall of the Jiang Kingdom, they came to our Yu Dynasty. Your Majesty took them in, but every year he would take away one hundred pairs of boys and girls from Jiang. However, this is all just hearsay."
Xiaoqiu couldn't help but say, "Sacrificing a living being for immortality is sheer nonsense. The demons slaughtered a city and refined a blood prison pill, which only extended their lifespan by a few hundred years."
uncle:"……"
He looked down at the ball and said dissatisfiedly, "Boy, you are so obsessed with storybooks at such a young age. You should be reading books and going to school at this age. Isn't it a waste of your life to keep reading storybooks?"
Chi Yu quickly asked, "Master, are these all the rumors? Are there no other rumors?"
The old man thought for a moment and said, "That's all. These are the only random rumors about His Majesty. There's nothing else. Oh, there's one more thing. His Majesty still doesn't have any concubines in the harem, nor any children. This is very strange."
Xiaoqiu said: "That's normal. Normal monks don't marry."
Uncle: "Monk?"
Chi Yu reached out and covered Xiaoqiu's mouth. "Okay, Xiaoqiu, adults are talking, children should not interrupt."
I chatted with the old man for a few more sentences and then ended the conversation.
Chi Yu and Xiao Qiu walked towards the river. Chi Yu asked Xiao Qiu: "Do you think there are demons here?"
Xiaoqiu said, "I don't know, but if that Majesty is a demon, he should have known it as soon as we entered the city."
Chi Yu said, "I think it's more likely to be a demon. Demons have the ability to expel their own kind, but monks don't. Instead, monks become prey to demons."
Xiaoqiu asked: "Brother Aotian, do you want to take care of it?"
Chi Yu hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's very peaceful here. I feel like it's okay regardless."
It has been peaceful for more than 80 years, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Xiaoqiu said, "Never mind, let's just play for a few days and then leave."
Chi Yu: “Yeah.”
They reached the shore. The moonlight was beautiful, the river was shimmering, and countless lanterns were pushed forward by the ripples, forming a dazzling stream of lights.
Chi Yu bought two lanterns and rented a brush. He wrote the words "go home" on the wooden plaque on the lanterns.
Xiaoqiu stood on tiptoe to take a peek and asked, "Do I need to make a wish to go home? As long as I have spirit stones, I can get there in just over a month, even if it's Wanqiong Continent."
Chi Yu smiled slightly, but didn't answer. He passed the problem to Xiaoqiu, "You write it."
Xiaoqiu took the brush and wrote on the wooden sign: Grow up quickly.
Chi Yu watched him write these four words and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that no matter where children are, at this stage, their wish is to grow up quickly. But Xiaoqiu, when you become an adult, you will want to be a child again. Only children can be carefree and confident."
Xiaoqiu said, "I won't. I also want to grow up quickly and become a partner of Your Highness and Brother Aotian. My cultivation is low, so I can only do some work of dividing demons. I also want to fight alongside you and protect you, Brother Aotian."
Chi Yu was deeply moved after hearing this and couldn't help but rub his face with her hand. "Don't worry, there's no time in cultivation. Growing up is just a blink of an eye. But you know your cultivation level is low, so can you please stop getting distracted during cultivation and practice well?"
Xiaoqiu: "...put the lantern down quickly, Brother Aotian."
Chi Yu placed the two lanterns into the river and watched them merge into the stream of lights and disappear.
The gentle night breeze made Chi Yu feel particularly refreshed. He felt inexplicably happy. He lowered his head and said to Xiaoqiu, "Xiaoqiu, what's your full name?"
Xiaoqiu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Aotian, why do you want to know my name?"
Chi Yu said, "You can't always call me Xiaoqiu, right? I want to know your future name so that I can find you more easily."
When Xiaoqiu heard this, he answered, "My surname is Xie, and my full name is Xie Tinghan."
Chi Yu: "This name sounds nice."
He then asked, "Then Senior Brother Xuanji's common name is also Xie, isn't it? What are you thanking for?"
Xiaoqiu suddenly realized, "Brother Aotian! Are you just trying to ask my Highness's name?"
Chi Yu quickly said, "No, no, it's just that I think I know your name already. Of course, I also want to know your prince's name. If your prince doesn't become a Buddhist disciple in the future, I can still find him by his common name, right?"
Xiaoqiu said, "Pfft, pfft, brother Aotian, please stop saying unlucky things. Our prince can become a Buddhist disciple."
Chi Yu: "Oh yeah, look at my mouth—just in case, you should tell me."
Xiaoqiu said, "I can't casually reveal His Highness's name, but it comes from the line 'The profound truth is mysterious and profound, and cannot be delved into.' Colorless and soundless is the realm of the Tao. Your Majesty gave him this name."
Chi Yu said, "It's a nice name."
Xiaoqiu was puzzled and asked, "Do you know what the name is?"
Xie Xiyi, standing behind, was also puzzled.
Chi Yu laughed, "I'm not stupid, of course I know, isn't it Xie Xiyi?"
Xiaoqiu gave him a thumbs up and said, "Great, Brother Aotian. Yan Yuan is also very good. If it were me, I would have thought it was Xie Yanyuan."
Chi Yu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, Xiaoqiu, this is because he knew the answer in advance.
But Xie Yanyuan is also a good name.
Chi Yu said, "It's getting late. Let's go back and practice. If I go back late, Senior Brother Xuan Ji will scold me again."
Xiaoqiu agreed and said, "Yeah, he's really fierce."
Chi Yu turned around and bumped into a broad, hard embrace. Chi Yu: "..."
He slowly raised his head and saw Xie Xiyi's face up close.
No, what male ghost behavior, when on earth did he stand behind him! ?
Chi Yu asked, "Brother Xuan Ji, why are you here?"
Xie Xiyi said, "I came out for a walk."
Chi Yu: "..."
Who would believe that!
Xie Xiyi lowered his eyes and looked at him, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and said: "If you want to ask me my common name, why bother asking Xiaoqiu in a roundabout way? Can't you ask me directly?"
"..." Chi Yu said: "I asked him in person, but it was Senior Brother Xuanji who didn't tell me."
Xie Xiyi said, "It is my privilege to change my orders from morning to night."
Chi Yu was happy, "If Your Majesty continues like this, the country will be destroyed sooner or later."
Xie Xiyi said, "Only then will your existence be worthwhile. Only by turning the tide and restoring order can you leave your name in history."
The smile on his lips deepened slightly, "If I am a wise ruler, then you, my dear, are nothing more than a bright flame in my shadow."
Chi Yu: "...Then I have to thank Your Majesty?"
Xie Xiyi said: "My dear, you must serve me like an ox or a horse in your next life, and repay me with grass and rings."
Chi Yu: "..."
How could he sell his body for several lifetimes just with a few words?
The prince is so terrifying!
The small ball next to it: "..."
Here it comes again. This barrier is impossible to penetrate and there is no place for him to speak.
Chi Yu suddenly remembered something, "Oh, where's Wu Yunsu?"
The smile on Xie Xiyi's lips disappeared, and he said in a light tone: "He is in the restaurant."
Chi Yu said, "Go back quickly. What if something happens to him alone?"
Xie Xiyi said in a somewhat cold tone: "If something goes wrong, then we can't keep him here."
