"Look, isn't that Mrs. Wei? Her clothes are..." A person dressed as a scholar waved a folding fan in his hand and said in surprise, "Why is she wearing Zuo Yijian's court clothes?!"

Someone was shocked: "Half a year ago, I was from the fourth rank, and now I am from the third rank?!"

Some people also expressed their admiration: "She relieved the famine disaster in Beiwang County. Your Majesty is very happy. It is not a bad idea to ask her to speak out for the left! What's more, Master Wei captured the corrupt official Wang Jinshi for Ye Xingwei, and dug the river to general The Hongjiang River in Jingzhou drains..."

"Not bad! Lord Wei still cares about poor students. Last year, she suggested that His Majesty slow down the requirement for poor students to become officials! She is so benevolent, she should be a good official!"

But some people expressed disdain: "How can she do those things like a girl? I'm afraid she seduced other adults and made them willingly bow down under her pomegranate skirt and hand over their achievements to her." !"

"Hmph...she is clearly bewitching Empress Tianyin. You see, she is so favored now that even when the Empress travels, she always follows her."

……

Everyone talked a lot, but their discussions didn't last long.Soon, Luanjia proceeded to the downstairs of Yingkeju.As Luan Jia passed by, all the people around fell silent, knelt down and worshiped, and shouted to welcome Queen Tianyin.Lian Xia dragged Shen Yanye to hide behind the window - it was a felony not to kneel to the queen, and the two of them didn't want to attract unnecessary attention in the mortal world.

However, when Luanjia, who led the queen, walked past the Yingke Residence, Yiyin Qinling suddenly felt a trace of familiar spiritual power.However, the spiritual power was fleeting, as if it was just to get her attention.She raised her head slightly, her gaze swept across the crowd kneeling in the aisle, and then the buildings on both sides.Suddenly, her expression froze—the man in red smiled at the welcoming guest by the window.He lifted his hood slightly, revealing a pair of dark red eyes.

... Shen Lian, no, Lian Xia.

Sure enough it was him.

Since parting ways, he and himself, the Sword Spirit of Snow Soul and the Sword Spirit of Breaking the Army have been inseparable from each other, and now they suddenly come to Tianyin City, what is the matter? !

While thinking about this, a black figure suddenly walked out beside Lian Xia.He closed his eyes, but faced her direction and seemed to nod.This is clearly...? !

However, the moment she blinked, the two shadows by the window suddenly disappeared.Yiyin Qinling froze in place, and a female voice came from behind her——

"Wei Ling, why did you stop?"

"...No, it's nothing, please forgive me, Empress Empress."

........................

The night of Tianyin City is like any bustling capital city, with thousands of lights.The curfew in Yi Country is very late, so the streets where people come and go during the day are still bustling at night.The business in the night market is booming, not to mention the Goulan Courtyard and the Song Stage.Perhaps it was getting dark, and many girls let go of their daytime restraint, and happily dragged their lovers around the stalls.Many scholars who are full of etiquette and well-behaved during the day also let go of their restraint during the day, arm in arm with their peers, and talk loudly in groups of twos and threes.

Shen Yanye looked at the Demon Lords running back and forth in front of various shops, and really couldn't keep up with his train of thought.After returning to the guest room of the Yingke Residence today, it was already evening after the two of them discussed how to deal with the Yin Qin Ling.After Shen Yanye asked Lian Xia again if she knew what was wrong with his understanding of the way of heaven, Lian Xia just smiled mysteriously and shook her finger at him.

"Well, it's useless for Tianjun to understand it for himself, and it's useless for me to tell you." Lian Xia smiled, "The truth of the Dao needs to be understood by oneself, Tianjun won't understand it."

Lian Xia was right, so Shen Yanye asked if Lian Xia could give him some guidance or advice.Lian Xia said:

"The method is very simple, but for Tianjun, it may be a bit difficult to do."

Shen Yanye also said that as long as it can make him understand where his understanding of the way of heaven has gone wrong, he will do it no matter what.then……

... Lian Xia dragged him to the night market.

……

Surrounded by crowds, the sound of everyone playing and laughing, talking loudly, and the loud voices of hawkers selling, together with the smell of food, merged into a unique atmosphere in the world.In the midst of the excitement, Shen Yanye seemed to be in two different worlds with them.He just watched Lian Xia's figure, watched him shuttle through the crowd, and occasionally bumped into people...

... The general of the demon world, the spirit of the fire-robbing demon sword, the master of the army who made the demon world fearful, must be outstanding in stature, no matter how bad he is, he will not be unable to dodge even these mortals!What exactly is going on?In other words, he did not dodge - in this sea of ​​people, he has completely given up his identity as a magic general, and merged with the torrent of the mortal world!

Just in a blink of an eye, Lian Xia's figure suddenly disappeared!In order not to panic the mortals, they all restrained their breath, so Shen Yanye couldn't judge his position now.He had no choice but to walk forward aimlessly while looking left and right, but all he "seeed" were the joyful and joyous smiling faces of the people around him.In a hurry, he was accidentally bumped by a girl!

"Ah...I'm sorry..." The girl left his embrace and apologized quickly.She bumped into the arms of a strange man, which naturally made her blush and embarrassed, but the next moment, an anxious male voice came from not far away——

"My lady! I have found you!"

A man dressed as a scholar was carrying a lot of things, pushed away from the crowd, ran to them, and said out of breath, "Ah Ling... Huh... don't run so happy next time... You know me ...Phew...I'm not good at...running..."

"Hmph, you can't even catch up with your own wife, how dare you?" The woman pouted to pretend to be dissatisfied, but the smile in her eyes betrayed her.

He just panted for a while, and then said to Shen Yanye: "Thank you for helping me stop Ah Ling...she always runs so fast..."

Shen Yanye shook his head and said it was okay.Then the scholar seemed to have remembered something, and took out a pack of oil paper exuding a sweet smell from his arms and stuffed it into Shen Yanye's arms: "If you don't dislike it, please accept this, this is the lady's favorite food." My wife and I bought too much...my family can't finish it all. If you don't finish this pastry in a day, it will become unpalatable, so...if you don't mind, just accept this! "

"I didn't help you with anything, and I don't need a thank you."

Shen Yanye put the bag back into the pile of items in the man's arms.But the scholar stuffed him again:

"Today last year was the day my wife and I got married. Today we are in a good mood, so you can accept it!"

Shen Yanye shook his head again, and was about to refuse, but the young couple had already walked away together.Shen Yanye faced the direction they were going away, his expression remained the same, but the lights in the mortal world were brightly flickering, giving his cheeks a touch of warmth.After a while, he raised the pastry in his hand, sniffed it carefully, and took another tentative bite.The sweet taste melts in the mouth, with strong milky and sugary flavors, warm and soft.

He swallowed the sweet cake, lightly licked the candy on the corner of his lips, but was patted on the shoulder again, and then the deep, hoarse, familiar male voice sounded in his ears:

"I think this is the first time Tianjun has received a gift from a mortal in his life? What do you think?"

Shen Yanye lowered his head, still holding the white pastry he had bitten into in his hand, "The military master said that I want to experience for myself where my understanding of the way of heaven has deviated, and this is the way? Going to the night market? Taking money from ordinary people. Gift?"

"Tianjun thinks it's ridiculous?"

"No. The way of heaven is the principle, which exists in all things in the six realms and any phenomenon within the six realms, so no matter where I am or what I encounter, it can help me understand the way of heaven."

"Ha, you are indeed the No. 16 suzerain of Taiyi Sword Sect, Shen Tianjun, who ascended to immortality in his weak crown!" Lian Xia clapped her palms and praised, "Then what did Tianjun gain from this trip?"

"I don't know..." Shen Yanye said softly, "But, I have a strange feeling. I seem to vaguely know what I'm missing... But when I think about it carefully, I can't figure it out..."

Lian Xia laughed again.Then he took Shen Yanye's hand holding the pastry again, and brought it closer to his lips, "In this case, eat more! Eat more and you will feel more enlightened!"

Although he knew that what Lian Xia said made no sense at all, he still finished the pastry in his hand.Lian Xia waited quietly for him to finish handling the food in his hand, and then made a move that he never thought of!Surrounded by ordinary people, he actually took off his hat, revealing the tattoos on his face, and those dark red eyes that are different from ordinary people!

Shen Yanye didn't remind him that there were mortals around him, because the flickering flames hit everyone's eyes, and everyone's eyes looked dark red.Lian Xia flicked her long hair to slightly cover up the flamboyant tattoo, then stretched out her hand to grab Shen Yanye's wrist, and pointed to a shop not far away: "I found something interesting."

……

It was an accessory stall, but mostly men's hairpins and hair accessories were sold.There were many ornaments hanging on the booth, Lian Xia pointed to one of them, and smiled at Shen Yanye: "I had a similar one before. Do you remember?"

Lianxia refers to a string of forehead ornaments made of red colored glaze, shining dazzlingly under the candlelight.However, such a bright color discourages most men, and the style of this forehead ornament is not suitable for women to wear, so it has been ignored.Shen Yanye looked at the forehead ornament for a while, then nodded: "I bought it for you in Lancang City, right?"

Lian Xia was shocked: "You...you remember?!"

"No... I don't remember, it was my father who told me." Shen Yanye turned around, faced Lian Xia, and took out from his arms the red spar inlaid with him that he had been carrying all this time. The forehead pendant was put into Lian Xia's hands.

"I... I thought it was lost..." Lian Xia was holding the forehead ornament, there were some scratches on the spar, it was clearly the forehead ornament he lost in the fierce battle when he entered and exited Prison Valley.It was the first gift Shen Yanye gave him, and he cherished it like a treasure. When he found out that it was lost, he was still sad for a long time.But he didn't expect this forehead ornament to return to Shen Yanye's hands?

"You...you have been with you all the time?"

Shen Yanye didn't hide anything.He nodded, and said: "It reminds me of my lover I can't remember, my sword.... Lian Xia, is that you?"
