The fifth day of the first lunar month.
The heavy snow in Jinling City had just stopped, the sky was blue and the air was cold.
The New Year is finally over. Fu Xiaoguan is now sitting in Taoranting, comfortably brewing a pot of tea with Su Jue.
"Big Brother, how far is Qingyun Mountain from Jinling City?"
"Leaving Jinling and heading southeast, it is about three hundred miles."
That was still quite far away. Fu Xiaoguan gave up the idea of going to Qingyun Mountain and asked Xu Xinyan, "How long will it take for the girl's injuries to heal?"
"It's almost there."
"Is there anything unusual about her?"
Su Jue thought for a moment and said, "This girl gets up at five in the morning to meditate and practice. She usually talks to Su Su a lot, but she seems a little lonely when she's alone. After all, she grew up in the Moon Worship Sect and has no relatives in Jinling. I'm afraid she needs some time to adapt."
Fu Xiaoguan still didn't ask her about the Moon Worship Sect. He didn't even go to see her during the New Year holidays. Firstly, he was too busy, and secondly... he felt that his faith in Taoism was not strong enough.
This Xu Xinyan is different from Susu!
Both women are very beautiful, but Susu is only fifteen years old. Susu likes to eat snacks and is carefree in her daily life. In his heart, she is just a child.
But Xu Xinyan is already twenty years old, and her whole body exudes an alluring youthful scent, just like a ripe peach. Fu Xiaoguan is very worried that he will not be able to resist taking a bite - he is not a saint, and he cannot cut off his seven emotions and six desires.
Another problem is that the Nine Yang Heart Sutra is a good thing. Ever since practicing this thing, Fu Xiaoguan found that his energy was too strong, just like he had taken a magic pill. Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at his eldest brother. His eldest brother's heart of Taoism was firm, and he had even practiced to the Saint level. He didn't know how he held it back.
The tea smoke curls up, emitting a refreshing scent in this fresh morning.
Fu Xiaoguan poured a cup of tea for Su Jue and took a sip himself. His mind was not really on Xu Xinyan, but on Fu Daguan.
Zhou Tongtong took Gao Xianyi there. According to their pace, they should have arrived at Guanyun City.
Empress Dowager Xi would certainly not let Zhou Tongtong return home safely. Eunuch Jia said that the old guy Zhou Tongtong was very cunning and it was impossible for the people sent by Empress Dowager Xi to catch him.
If Zhou Tongtong cannot be caught, then Fu Daguan cannot be caught.
But it’s been so long, Zhou Tongtong should have sent some news back.
Especially the news about Wu Linger, he didn't believe that Wu Linger could arrange Jinghu Villa in such a way that even an organization like Tianji Pavilion could not infiltrate at all.
Wu Linger was pregnant, and Empress Dowager Xi spread the rumor that the child was his... This made Fu Xiaoguan very angry. If the two places were not more than 3,000 miles apart, he really wanted to take the magic sword and go to Guanyun City in person to capture the old witch and give her a good beating to relieve the hatred in his heart.
But whose child is Wu Linger pregnant with?
She has already ascended the throne as the emperor. If she has a lover, she could just summon him to the palace and give birth to a child openly. Why did she have to keep it so secretive and give that old witch an opportunity to take advantage of her?
If you can't figure it out, then naturally stop thinking about it.
Fu Xiaoguan put Wu Linger's matter aside. Su Jue suddenly asked, "There were many things I couldn't understand about the perfect country you talked about in Yan Mansion a few days ago, but I also felt that what you said seemed to make some sense, so I wrote a letter to Master, and Master wrote me a letter in reply."
"What do you think, Master?"
"The master said... the road ahead is long and arduous, I will take my time and see."
Fu Xiaoguan's eyes widened, "...is this what the master said?"
Su Jue placed a piece of paper in front of Fu Xiaoguan, "Here, this is what the master said."
Fu Xiaoguan glanced down and laughed.
This master whom he had never met was an expert at playing tricks. He must have been confused and had acted a bit rashly that night. But since he had already said it, he was not worried about anything.
Now his status and position are different from what they were when he was in Linjiang. There is no one in the Yu Dynasty who can overthrow him, not even Emperor Xuan. The worst that can happen is that he can run back to the Wu Dynasty.
"Junior Brother, is a kingdom like that...really possible?"
"Of course it can be achieved, but not now, but in the distant future."
Su Jue was slightly disappointed. Fu Xiaoguan continued, "This requires generations of people to explore along this line of thought. The cage is not so easy to break. It must be removed imperceptibly, like peeling off a cocoon. But this is a historical necessity. When that time comes..."
Xu Xinyan and Susu just walked into Taoranting.
Su Su was still sitting on her swing, but Xu Xinyan lowered her head and sat beside Fu Xiaoguan, feeling very embarrassed. Then she looked up at Fu Xiaoguan and asked, "What was it like back then?"
Fu Xiaoguan's heart skipped a beat. He took another sip of tea and smiled, "Back then, people in cities would live in tall buildings, and there would be a dazzling array of goods. There would be something that could transmit sound over thousands of miles. People could sit at home, like we are sitting here now, and through that device, they could order a meal at Sifanglou without leaving their homes."
Xu Xinyan's eyes lit up. "Is it so magical?"
Su Su pouted, "Boasting again!"
Fu Xiaoguan laughed heartily. "Just think I'm bragging, but it's so magical. People can sit on something called an airplane and fly in the sky. It only takes one or two hours to get from Jinling to Guanyun City."
He raised his head. The winter sun was three poles high, not glaring, but his eyes were filled with nostalgia.
"At that time, people landed on the moon. There was no Guanghan Palace or Chang'e on the moon. It was just a barren land, where even vegetables couldn't be grown. There was also a man named Ma who wanted to land on Mars and said he wanted to build a city on Mars."
"In short, it was a truly wonderful era. It's a pity that you, I, and all of us will never be able to see it."
Su Jue was stunned when he heard this. Xu Xinyan opened her mouth and looked at Fu Xiaoguan in fascination. Su Su tilted her neck, as if wondering where Mars was.
"How do you know?" Su Jue asked.
"If I say I'm from that era, would you believe me?"
Su Jue actually straightened his hat, nodded very seriously, and said firmly: "I believe it!"
Fu Xiaoguan was stunned... How could you believe such a ridiculous thing?
"I'm just bragging."
"I also believe what Junior Brother brags!"
Damn, this senior brother actually worships blindly.
Fu Xiaoguan scratched his head and smiled: "Well, that's a matter of the future. We have to live in the present..."
He turned to look at Xu Xinyan, his expression becoming serious. "Now you have nothing to do with the Moon Worship Sect anymore, and I won't learn the Moon Worship Sect's secrets from you. I just hope you can forget the past and live a good life. That's all."
Xu Xinyan lowered her head, looking lonely, but nodded slightly.
