great master

After halfway through the banquet, Si Yang prepared a New Year's gift for each ghost servant. It was not something important, but his special soul nourishing pill. There were twelve pills in a bottle, and one consumed a month was exactly a year.

All the ghost servants happily accepted it. Compared with the soul nourishing formation prepared by the master, the elixir refined by the master is the real good thing.

After giving it to the ghost servant, Si Yang gave Li Zezhi another card: "This is the lucky money for you. I will find you a teacher to make up lessons in a few years later. You will go to class when the school starts, starting from the second year of high school. In the future, study and practice should not be delayed."

Li Zezhi didn't expect that he still had lucky money and could go to school, so he happily took it: "Thank you, Master!"

After giving away all their things, Si Yang gave Lan Yuzhuo a small wooden box.Lan Yuzhuo didn't expect to receive a New Year's gift from Brother Siyang, and was very pleasantly surprised: "Even me?"

Si Yang said with a smile: "This is a beauty pill. Girls love beauty. In the new year, they must be beautiful."

Lan Yuzhuo narrowed his eyes with a smile, and nodded vigorously: "Thank you, brother Siyang!"

After Lan Yuzhuo finished speaking, she also took out several gifts from the bag beside her, and almost everyone, including the ghost servants of the Si family, had a copy: "This is a New Year gift for everyone, I wish you all a Happy New Year!"

Seeing that everyone has them, Shen Ran, who has turned into a chinchilla, looks even more sad. He looks at Shan Hexuan helplessly. After all, everyone has fought bandits together, dug ginseng in a mountain, and he secretly hid a piece of red stone It was given to Shan Hexuan as a gift, so Shan Hexuan must have prepared a gift for him too.

But it's a pity to disappoint Shen Ran. Shan Hexuan never thought of preparing a gift at all, but because he was invited to the Si family to celebrate the New Year, he did prepare a gift besides the New Year's gift, but that was It was given to Si Yang's apprentice Li Zezhi, and he gave it when he entered the door.So seeing Shen Ran's eyes at this moment, I was a little stunned, what if he didn't prepare a gift.

Si Yang asked someone to take out two more gift boxes, the size of a palm, handed them to Shan Hexuan and said, "For your chinchilla."

When Shen Ran heard it, he quickly threw himself on Shan Hexuan's lap to try to see what it was. Shan Hexuan opened it as he wanted, and inside was a bell tied around his neck.All of a sudden, Shen Ran's little black bean's eyes widened!

Then Si Yang handed another copy to Shan Hexuan: "Although this was originally yours, I also added it as a New Year gift for you. Let's see how it goes."

Shan Hexuan took it quickly: "Thank you." After speaking, he opened it, and a silver-white long sword lay quietly in the box. When going up, the sword actually hummed, as if it was responding to him.The sword was still his sword, but it was as if it had been infused with life and turned into a living sword.

Si Yang said: "Everything has a soul, treat each other with sincerity, and everything can have a soul."

Shan Hexuan nodded again and again: "Thank you, I will cherish it!"

After sending it around for a while, Si Yang looked at Lan Jinxiu, smiled and stretched out his hand: "You have it too, this is for you, happy new year."

Lan Jinxiu took it, opened it, and found a small bead inside, about the size of a newborn baby's fist, as white as jade, flawless.But it looks like jade but not jade, and it doesn't look like pearls. Even Lan Jinxiu, who has seen many good things, can't guess what it is all at once.

Si Yang said with a smile: "When you encounter water creatures, if you put this on the water, it will continuously generate aura. You can put it in your annex, and then your whole farm will have some faint aura. Spending time in a spiritual environment is also good for you.”

Lan Jinxiu frowned slightly: "This thing is too precious."

Si Yang smiled: "What is valuable or not, don't forget, half of the income from your farm belongs to me. In the future, just raise the price of the resort and make me more money."

Hearing this, Lan Jinxiu couldn't help but smiled: "Okay, I'll make more money for you in the future." After speaking, Lan Jinxiu held a glass of wine and said to him: "Happy New Year, this year is probably the happiest I have ever lived. Have a great year."

Si Yang smiled: "Happy New Year, it will get better and better in the future."

Lan Jinxiu took out a brocade box from his pocket and handed it to Si Yang: "A New Year's gift for you."

Si Yang reached out and took it: "Can you open it and have a look?"

Lan Jinxiu nodded.

Si Yang opened it and saw that there was an extremely translucent sapphire inside. The sapphire was oval in shape with multiple facets. It was very bright and gorgeous under the light, and it was quite valuable at first glance.

Although this gorgeous gem diamond is just a slightly more beautiful stone to Si Yang, his heart cannot be measured by value, so he smiled and said, "It's very beautiful, I like it very much, thank you."

Lan Jinxiu said: "This is not an ordinary gem."

Hearing this, Si Yang took the sapphire out of the box with some doubts. When his fingertips touched the coldness of the gemstone, his eyes suddenly changed a little.

Lan Jinxiu said: "Although it is just a legend, it is said that this is the key of a secret vault more than 3000 years ago, and the address of a secret vault is recorded in it. It is said that there was a very powerful tribe 3000 years ago, and they occupied a mysterious territory , using a special method to isolate it from the world, and no one can find the entrance there except their own people. I heard that there are many rare treasures inside, and the people there have a long life. Through various descriptions, some people speculate that the mysterious The place may be the relics of ancient monks, but it is only speculation. This gem has passed through the hands of many celestial masters, but nothing can be seen. Maybe it is just a legend, but it is indeed something from more than 3000 years ago, and there are also collections value."

Shang Qishui and Shan Hexuan on the side couldn't help looking over after hearing the words, and Shang Qishui even said: "There is indeed a legend. It is said that this sapphire was in the hands of the Lan family more than ten years ago, but even several The elders didn't see anything famous about it, and later took it out at an auction and sold it off, and it seemed that it was bought by a European at that time, but I didn't expect it to return to China after more than ten years."

More than 3000 years ago, China was a period when wooden ornaments were more common. Because of the difficulty of purification, gold, silver and jade were mostly used by princes and nobles. Ordinary civilians did not have that condition, and hard objects such as gemstones and diamonds were not polished. Tools, if you really want to polish one, it will cost a lot of money, and it does not meet the needs of the market.But this sapphire is indeed a funerary object unearthed in an ancient tomb 3000 years ago, plus some deeds of the tomb owner in the tomb, and a description of the miraculousness of this gemstone, so it looks extra special.

Si Yang played with it in his hand for a while and then put it into the brocade box: "It's really a good thing."

As for how good it is, he didn't say it. Sealing the jade slip in a transparent gem to confuse people is indeed a good way to hide it.

On New Year's Eve, everyone ate and drank, watched Huaxia's unshakable New Year's party, and waited until the clock turned.Shang Qishui looked at the fireworks blooming on the TV, and said with emotion: "Although fireworks are now banned for environmental protection, without those things, I always feel a little less old-fashioned."

Lan Yuzhuo has never had a happy New Year since she was a child. This year is the first time she feels the happiness of a New Year reunion, so she doesn't quite understand what Shang Qishui said about the New Year. She feels that it is very New Year now: " It’s better not to let it go, looking at the smog now, I feel that in a few years, the sun may not even be seen in Zhongdu.”

Si Yang said: "If we can find out where the entire dragon vein of Huaxia is and do a large-scale prayer, the whole of Huaxia will probably be different."

Lan Jinxiu leaned on the sofa and looked at Si Yang, Lan Yuzhuo asked curiously, "What's the difference?"

"The fortune of the country is strong, the momentum is strong, the dragon veins are stained with dust, and they will naturally sleep forever. If the dragon veins wake up, it will be a natural barrier. At that time, all Chinese people and the land of China will be protected by the dragon veins. The environment has changed drastically, with beautiful mountains and rivers and no smog, but this kind of large-scale blessing can only be imagined."

Li Zezhi also asked curiously, "Why?"

Si Yang glanced at him: "If you have studied Chinese history, you wouldn't ask such a stupid question, because the territory of China has been torn apart, and many areas that originally belonged to China have now become territories of other countries. Knowing that China used to occupy more than half of Europe, it is basically impossible to pray with dragon veins now, and besides that, there are not many celestial masters who have the ability to use the power of dragon veins to pray for blessings."

Shang Qishui also sighed: "The decline of Taoism is caused by the environment. Human beings have damaged the environment too seriously. In ancient times, human beings admired nature, and nature gave them back a powerful force. Now people destroy nature, and nature gives back. The only thing that matters is the increasingly difficult living environment, which is fair.”

Si Yang lazily leaned aside and listened to their discussion on environmental issues, and as soon as he turned his head, he met Lan Jinxiu's gaze, so he smiled at him: "You guys chat, I'll make a phone call. "

Although he doesn't have the habit of paying New Year's greetings, even if it's New Year's greetings, he basically sends group messages on WeChat, but this year is the year of Sister Cang Yongfeng's fragrance, and although no one is there to make incense sticks, it is considered etiquette to make a phone call to say hello.

Lan Jinxiu waited for him to finish talking outside and hang up the phone before pushing open the French windows and walking towards him.Si Yang looked into the room, and even Shan Hexuan was dragged by Lan Yuzhuo and Xiao Fuzi to play games together, and smiled helplessly: "Why, do you think it's noisy inside to let you breathe?"

Lan Jinxiu paused and said, "Si Yang, can I ask you a question?"

Si Yang said seriously: "Psychological consultation is charged by the second, 100 yuan per second, from now on, ask."

Lan Jinxiu smiled, half of his cheeks were illuminated by the light projected from the room, and his sharp facial features softened a bit under the light: "If a person's life is too long, will he be very lonely? "

Si Yang didn't expect him to ask this question. Before coming to Earth, he never thought about this question, but he occasionally thought about it over the years.He is an outsider, and time is fixed for him, as long as he is strong enough that no one has the ability to kill him, on this earth, he can even live the same life as heaven and earth.

If the people around you only have a short hundred years, a life that is too long will naturally be lonely and boring, even though this kind of long life is what everyone yearns for in the world of cultivating immortals, and they strive for it at all costs.Achieving the position of great emperor is not just to have the time of immortality, the indestructible body.So whether you are lonely or not depends on the environment.

"This kind of thing depends on what is most important to the individual. If you have a family and a lover, but you are the only one alive in the end, it is naturally painful and lonely. If you are just alone, in pursuit of strength, then the so-called long time is just For ordinary people, it’s even more difficult to talk about loneliness.”

"how about you?"

Si Yang smiled: "I, my life has just begun, how can I know what the future will hold."

As for the future, Si Yang actually thought about it, there are only three ways to live, one is to live as an old monster, just like the only two foundation builders in China today, they have passed the bright road in the country.One is naturally to change identities and live in different places every few years, or find a deep mountain and set up an enchantment to practice in seclusion. Once you close your eyes and open them, hundreds of years will pass.

Lan Jinxiu smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

On the contrary, Si Yang was a little puzzled: "Why do you ask this question suddenly?"

Lan Jinxiu said: "Probably because I saw Shen Ran's feelings. If he hides his identity well, one day the people in the room will gradually grow old, but he is as young as ever. Suddenly, he feels that the time is standing still. , and sometimes it doesn’t seem like a good thing.”

Si Yang followed Lan Jinxiu's eyes and looked into the room. The little chinchilla wanted to play with everyone, so he jumped up and down while grabbing Shan Hexuan's clothes, but because there were Shang Qishui and Lan Yuzhuo in the room, he wanted to hide his unhappiness. It was exposed, and the hair all over his body exploded.

After all, he hasn't been tempered for a long time, and his mind is still not stable. Maybe he himself hasn't really realized the difference between a demon and a human.Maybe this is the purpose of Grandpa Shen Ran, let Shen Ran treat himself as an ordinary person and live in the human world. For goblins, it won't be long before he can feel the difference between humans and goblins. , in order to truly grow up, over time, you will not easily have emotions for human beings, and if you have no emotions, you will not be sad.

The New Year's Eve was spent in this thought-provoking question. Early the next morning, Sian Chay brought a few of his direct disciples to the house to pay New Year's greetings.Fortunately, Si Yang had already made preparations, and there were not many other things, such as Qingling Dan, which could be sprinkled in large quantities.In the past, in the world of cultivating immortals, what he had the most were medicines for healing all kinds of blood. Now the world is too stable, but there are more things that can calm people's minds.

So each of the apprentices brought by Sian Chay gave Si Yang a bottle, and there were not many in a bottle, only six, but his apprentices had four, and he had only one.It seems that we still need to recruit more apprentices, otherwise the gifts will not be able to recover the cost during the holidays in the future.

Sian Chay knows that Siyang has a lot of good things here, and as his apprentice, there must be no shortage of things related to cultivation, so he gave the most practical, a big red envelope: "If you have time in the future, come to Linggu Temple to play, There are many green-haired turtles in Linggu Temple, and there are many scenic spots that are not open to ordinary tourists, when the time comes, find a brother to take you around."

Li Zezhi looked at Si Yang, saw him nodding, and then reached out to take the red envelope: "Thank you master, I will definitely go to Linggu Temple to play in the future."

Sian Chay nodded with a smile, then turned to talk to Si Yang about another matter: "Did Si Xiaoyou receive any news about what happened last night?"

Si Yang shook his head: "No, what happened?"

Sian Chay said: "Last night, several celestial masters of the Lan family prayed every year on the Dihan Building, but they were backlashed. I don't know when, there was a cloud of evil spirit hidden in the sky above that area. At that time The crowd didn't realize that in the middle of praying for blessings, two of the younger celestial masters vomited blood and fell to the ground. They are still being rescued in Lu's hospital.

The Lu family is also one of the four great masters of Taoism, and together with Linggu Temple guarded Zhongdu for many years, but the Lu family was involved in more mundane affairs and even opened a hospital.Because the Lu family itself was from Taoism, there was a special department in that hospital, which had a signboard of a hundred-year-old Chinese medicine doctor, but in fact it was a group of Taoist celestial masters who knew medical skills practicing medicine.Ordinary people naturally use the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine to see a doctor. If a Taoist person is injured by ghosts and evil things, he will naturally adopt the treatment of the heavenly master.

Hearing what Sian Chay said, Si Yang naturally thought of the evil spirit he saw in Lan Jinxiu's former office building, so he asked, "Is Dihan Building the building where Lan's enterprise is located?"

Sian Chay nodded and said: "Exactly, in the past, every year in Zhongdu, the Heavenly Masters of the Lan family would pray there, pray for wealth and blessings, and they were always safe and sound. I don't know if it's luck or misfortune to be smashed by the Lan family."

Si Yang seemed a little puzzled when he heard the words: "The evil spirit is not formed in a day. Since you are a celestial master, why did you not discover such a large area of ​​evil spirit in advance? Even if you don't raise your head, you can feel the evil spirit when you get close."

After saying the Buddha's name, Sian Chay said: "This is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster. It is not something that can be seen with ordinary eyes. If the evil spirits gather today, a disaster will definitely happen in that area. I just don't know if the Lan family can solve it."

It was only then that Si Yang realized that the evil they could see was only Yin evil, human evil can be cured, but heavenly evil is hard to get rid of.I don't know whether it is Lan Jinxiu's good luck, or the Lan family's own luck is exhausted, and the luck is too bad. At this time, it's okay to solve this kind of thing. If something really happens, I just changed to Lan's family. Leaders, this is a time when people's hearts are fluctuating, and this is probably even worse.
