"Master Yuzhen, the capital is also very good. Are you really not considering staying here?"
Outside the city, beside the ancient road, the Taoists looked at Xihe with tears in their eyes, full of reluctance to leave.
Xihe: “…”
But we have just been exchanging ideas for a few days, is it really that serious?
The Taoists nodded vigorously. As for, why not? With just a few words from the Taoist priest, their realm, which had remained unchanged for years, actually moved. Who would be willing to send such an upgraded god away? They wished they could keep him by their side.
Unfortunately, Taoist Master Yuzhen’s skills were too profound for them to keep him. Thinking of this, everyone felt even more sad.
Yuanbao was instantly dissatisfied when he saw a group of stinky men surrounding his wife: "It's getting late, Taoist priests, let's say goodbye now." He half-carried and half-supported his wife into the carriage, lowered the curtain, and rode west.
Taoist priests: "..."
He stretched out his arms and waved them vigorously, shouting, "Master, come to the capital when you have time."
The sun rises, and its rays illuminate the earth. Two simple carriages travel westward along the official road. In the distance, there are continuous mountains, and the fresh air fills the nose.
-
After leaving the capital, Xihe got out of the carriage.
Yuanbao was wearing a straw hat and sitting cross-legged in front of the cart. He had a piece of grass in his mouth and was eating it with relish, his eyes looking straight ahead.
Seeing Xihe coming out of the car, Yuanbao patted his legs and said with a smile: "My lady, come and sit here."
There were green mountains and clear waters on both sides of the road. Xihe walked over and sat in his arms, leaning against Yuanbao's chest. She rubbed her head against his chin and yawned slightly. Yuanbao smiled and leaned down to kiss her cheek: "Are you still asleep?"
For some reason, Xihe had been feeling a bit sleepy these past few days. "That's fine. How long until the next town?"
This trip was different from the previous one which had no purpose. It was a return to the lair of the three demons, Piaomiao Mountain, and they were heading towards the mountains all the way.
Yuanbao smoothed her flying hair: "It's about a four-day drive."
The few of them were leisurely on the way. When they were hungry, they got off the car to cook and eat. While walking, they watched the sunset and sunrise leisurely. At night, the little girl A Zi sat on the roof of the car and watched over the carriage, while the other two couples were ridden by their spouses all over the mountains and fields.
As expected, every time they came back, the two male guests always looked refreshed, while the female guest looked listless.
Ah Zi: ...from the world full of malice.
While traveling, Xihe and his companions stopped in a town one day. Suddenly, firecrackers rang out on the street. Downstairs, an officer with a sword on his back rode a horse and leaped over the crowd, shouting excitedly, "It's a win, it's a win! Mr. Li has won the top prize!"
The street was silent for a second, and then a heated discussion broke out:
"Mr. Li won the first place in the imperial examination?"
"Everyone in the government office has said it, so how could it be false? Oh my, Mr. Li really brings honor to the people of Gong County!"
"Li Changsong looks so good... Your Majesty is truly wise."
…
Yuanbao subconsciously looked at Xihe and touched her hand: "Madam?"
Xihe was also stunned, then she pursed her lips and smiled, her eyebrows curved: "It seems that the Li family has finally gotten rid of their status as commoners."
Li Changsong was none other than the little fellow whose face was flushed with fever and who was nearly killed by the original owner when she came into this world. Later, she named him "Changsong" at the request of his grandfather.
Unexpectedly, many years later, he actually passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer.
Xihe smiled and passed by, but the Li family was in a frenzy. Even though he was already a hundred years old, Old Man Li was still holding on to his last breath and dared not die. When he heard that his grandson had really passed the exam and become an official as the Taoist priest had said,
He got up excitedly and went to burn incense for Xihe himself: "Taoist, your kindness is great, and our Li family will never forget it."
He even pulled the man, who looked as ugly as Zhong Kui, to kneel down and said, "Kneel down quickly and kowtow to the Taoist priest. You almost died of fever that year, and it was the Taoist priest who used up all his strength to save you."
I don’t know how many times my grandfather has told me this since I was a child.
Li Changsong knelt down neatly and kowtowed three times: "Changsong thanks the Taoist for his great kindness."
