Pawn Crossing the River

It is said that a breakup is better than a new marriage. Although Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu did not become Taoist couples, the truth is this.

We haven’t seen each other for a long time, so naturally we have a lot to say.

Zhang Yuelu led Qi Xuansu out of the signing room through the side door and came to a small garden. It was very quiet and there was no one else.

Qi Xuansu did not particularly yearn for the dull days that lasted for many years, but he liked this moment of peace, just like the rain after a long drought, which prevented his heart from being completely dry and numb due to wandering between life and death all day long.

There is a small lake in the garden and a small pavilion beside the lake. Qi Xuansu pulled Zhang Yuelu to the pavilion. The two sat down against the fence of the pavilion. Qi Xuansu turned around and saw Zhang Yuelu's wonderful eyes staring at him with a calm smile on his face.

Seeing Qi Xuansu turning to look, Zhang Yuelu asked, "How are you doing in the palace?"

"Fortunately." Qi Xuansu said, "I learned the 'Magic Sword', got a 'Dragon Painting Hand Gun', and by the way, there is also a 'Xuan Zi Gong'."

Zhang Yuelu asked curiously: "The 'Dragon Painted Gun' is an extremely rare item. Tianji Hall does not sell it to the outside world. If you have money, there is no place to buy it. How did you get it?"

Qi Xuansu said: "I did Yao Pei a favor, and Yao Pei gave it to me as a thank you gift."

Then Qi Xuansu briefly recounted the experience of Tianshui Yixin Tower.

Qi Xuansu added: "As for the 'Xuan Zi Gong', you should have heard about it. It is related to Qi Jianyuan, Zhang Guyan, Zhang Wuhen, and finally got the credit of Yao Pei."

Zhang Yuelu looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "That's right, no wonder Mu Jin reminded me to keep a close eye on you, saying that there is another woman who is also interested in you."

Qi Xuansu coughed lightly, waved his hand and said: "Don't listen to the nonsense of those close friends in the boudoir. You should know who Yao Pei is. There is nothing wrong between me and her. We are accomplices at most."

Zhang Yuelu actually didn't take it seriously, he just mentioned it casually as a joke, and then said: "Speaking of Zhang Wuhen, he can be regarded as my ancestor, but he is very far away from our family and cannot have a deep relationship. In addition, She disappeared many years ago. It is said that she was purged by the heavenly master. At least I have no impression of her. However, the master has dealt with her and said that she has an extreme temperament. It is unexpected that she has reached this stage. It’s reasonable again. Her return to the world this time may cause another disturbance.”

Qi Xuansu said: "The descendants of the Ancient Immortal have inherited the Ancient Immortal. Given time, there will be another Ancient Immortal in the world."

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but sigh.

Qi Xuansu didn't want to talk about these serious matters when the two of them were alone, so he changed the topic: "Let's not talk about this anymore, how are you doing recently? The last time I heard about you was when I met Lao Xu, he said you were divorced Mu was also restless and would come over every now and then to conduct inspections, causing complaints from all over the Yaoguang Department..."

Zhang Yuelu interrupted: "What are the complaints? I don't think it's Xu Kou's words. It's more like you imagined it yourself."

Qi Xuansu laughed: "This is a comparison of feelings. If I were Lao Xu, I would scold you secretly. If you don't take a good rest at home and hang around for nothing, will you be exposed? Of course, I still have to say it openly, Deputy Hall Master, thank you for your hard work. He is truly a role model for our generation. We must learn from him."

Zhang Yuelu punched Qi Xuansu lightly and spat: "Go to hell."

Zhang Yuelu paused for a moment: "Actually, I'm not here to supervise the work. I just occasionally find it boring to be at home alone, so I come over here habitually. This is probably a habit that has become natural. Since I left home, I have always I was busy running around on this case and that case, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I was suddenly free. "

Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "If you have me with you, you won't be lonely."

Zhang Yuelu raised his eyebrows: "After three months of training, regardless of other things, my ability to talk has improved. Is Mr. Sun still teaching this?"

Qi Xuansu coughed lightly and said, "Speaking of Mr. Sun, he values ​​you very much. In his mouth, even if we were tied up with Yao Pei, I would not be as good as you."

Zhang Yuelu said nothing.

Qi Xuansu continued: "Thanks to Master Sun, I not only learned the 'Devil Sword', but I also successfully became a heavenly being."

Zhang Yuelu was startled, and then he looked at Qi Xuansu seriously. Purple energy flashed in his eyes, and he said in surprise: "You are really a heavenly being. When we met, you were only at the Kunlun stage. In just one year, , you became a heavenly being too quickly, Donghuang is no more than that."

When Sun Hewu, Yao Pei and others met Qi Xuansu for the first time, Qi Xuansu was already at the stage of returning to his true form and was only missing the last step, so they were not surprised that Qi Xuansu became a heavenly being, but Zhang Yuelu saw it with his own eyes. As Qi Xuansu walked over step by step, he was naturally touched the most.

Qi Xuansu took advantage of the situation and said: "It is mostly due to chance that I can become a heavenly being, and you are my biggest chance. If I had not met you, I would not have gone to Yishan City, and I would not have been able to get the first piece of 'Xuan Jade' , naturally there will be no such thing later.”

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but smile: "Am I your lucky star? Am I not your disaster star? Since you met me, you have narrowly escaped death several times."

Qi Xuansu said seriously: "How can it be a disaster star? It is the misfortune that blessings rely on, and the blessings that misfortune lies behind. If you survive a disaster, you will be blessed later."

Zhang Yuelu sighed softly: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be involved in this maelstrom. Maybe you would still be a carefree bird in the forest, not a bird in a cage."

Qi Xuansu stretched out his hand, gently held her hand, and said softly: "Heaven and earth are furnaces, creation is work, yin and yang are charcoal, and all things are copper. How can there be any happy people in this world? I will eventually return to Taoism. Even if I didn't meet you, I still have the ambition to wear the sword of wisdom, and I have never been someone who is indifferent to fame and wealth. "

Zhang Yuelu's palm slowly turned over and held Qi Xuansu's hand.

Holding hands together, Qi Xuansu only felt that in half his life, this moment was the most rare. His whole body felt like a spring breeze, and his heart felt like it was floating in the clouds. I hope it will stay like this forever.

Zhang Yuelu leaned gently on Qi Xuansu's shoulder and said slowly: "Tianyuan, how nice would it be if there weren't so many disputes?"

Qi Xuansu said: "It is indeed very good, but this is not what you said."

"Then what do you mean by what I said?" Zhang Yuelu said quietly, "I just want to change the Taoist sect, but if the Taoist sect is good in the first place, I will also be happy to be the deputy hall master for the rest of my life and do my best."

Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment and suggested: "By the way, I heard from the shopkeeper that this kind of flower tinsel is the famous plum blossom makeup. Do you want to try it?"

Zhang Yuelu did not refuse. He sat upright again, took out the small box, opened the lid, hesitated for a moment on the three colors of flower mother-of-pearl, and finally picked out a red flower mother-of-pearl with his fingertips.

Then Zhang Yuelu reached out and touched the center of his eyebrows, and a small red plum blossom pattern appeared on his forehead.

"Does it look good?" Zhang Yuelu didn't have the habit of carrying a mirror with him, so he just turned his face to Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu stared at Zhang Yuelu seriously, nodded and said: "It's beautiful."

Zhang Yuelu smiled and said: "As long as you like it. But you spent a lot of money buying these flower mother-of-pearls, right?"

Qi Xuansu laughed, pretending to be grand and said: "At least I have a monthly salary of 300 Taiping, which is nothing."

Zhang Yuelu knew Qi Xuansu well. Seeing that he was acting like this, it must have cost a lot, so he was vague and deliberately did not mention the price. He couldn't help but said: "You have good intentions. You gave me 'Drunken Life and Dreams of Death' last time, and you gave it to me again this time." I have nothing to give you."

Qi Xuansu shook his head and said: "Whether it is intentional or not, it doesn't matter. You help me introduce Xu Xiaoying, Xu Zhenren, and Sun Hewu, Sun Lao Zhenren. This is the best gift. The advantage is that I get it, but the favor I owe will be counted on your head." Compared with these, the gift I gave you is nothing. In fact, I don’t want you to give me anything. I once said that I like you not because of your last name, your origin, and I don’t covet anything. Although Qi Xuansu is not a great person, he still has some spirit, just because you are Zhang Yuelu, that's all."

Zhang Yuelu looked up at him, his eyes full of water: "Tianyuan, are you telling the truth, or are you trying to trick me?"

Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "I'm trying to coax you with my sincere words."
