After the fake death, the big bosses rushed to treat me as a widow

There are priest docks all over Jiangguo, and the architectural shape is generally like a tower, with a white tower body and an exorcism bell hanging from the veranda, which jingles when the wind blows by.

Because Qingyue Town is guarded on the water eye, the priest's dock is also set on the water, and the towering bamboo pagoda is parallel to the courtyard, accommodating passing monks and practitioners from all walks of life.

Xianglihong's courtyard was rebuilt on an old etched stone boat, and the surrounding courtyards were scattered, bustling with people, but it was a bit more lively than in the street market.

Xianglihong was leaning on a cane, with a straight posture.

He led them into the inner courtyard. Although the voice was exhausted, it was still steady and solemn: "Recently, the water pulse has been unstable, and there has been a flood. The outside is often flooded, so I let them live here. As long as I can Where you see it, it's safer..."

A little priest came running from the other side and said in a low voice: "My lord, the funeral of the man whose heart was dug out by a monster the day before yesterday has been settled. Can you find a time to send the spirit away?"

"I will go before sunset. Although I am no longer a monk, I can still save him." Xiang Lihong nodded slightly with a solemn expression, "Let me entertain the Buddha to settle down first."

Xiangli Feilu looked at everything in front of him: the courtyard was simply taken away, half-new red window grilles were still pasted on the window paper, a bunch of red peppers hung outside the water tank, and firecrackers soaked in rain were stuck between the bricks and tiles. Skin.This is the most common fireworks in the world, and it is another experience compared with the simplicity and integrity of the pagoda all the year round.

"Come to eat first. My wife is not in good health. She has been ill for a long time, so she didn't get up to greet her just now. Now she is going to cook, and she will be able to use it immediately."

Xiangli Feilu declined: "If your wife is not in good health, you don't have to force it. I was never so particular about it before."

"You don't pay attention to it, but it's the first time you bring someone back. As a master, I have to show something."

The fire in the room went out, Xiang Lihong invited them to sit down, put down the crutches beside him, and struggled to light the fire.

In this weather, the firewood was wet, and the flint and steel failed to ignite after several times.

Rong Yi lowered her head to look, moved her fingertips, and within a few moments, Xiangli Feilu stretched out his hand and pressed his hand down, popped out a fire stick, and ignited the fire.

Rong Yi was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes to look at Xiang Li Fei Lu's hand pressing her fingertips, feeling a little happy.

Xiangli Feilu was about to take back his hand, but saw Rong Yi bent his eyes and smiled happily at him, then raised his fingers repeatedly, hooking his fingertips.

Xiangli Feilu was also taken aback for a moment, his body froze, and he didn't move again.

The two of them clasped their fingertips together, and held it firmly, warming each other.

A few servants first came to the small kitchen and delivered the boiled corn soup, which was set on the fire and waited to be boiled.

Many children came in from the yard, leaned on the window to look in, and were chased away by other adults who heard the news.

"Master Xiangli is married, so is Fozi going to get married too! Master Fozi brought a beautiful elder brother!"

"Go, go, don't say these words, don't disturb the two adults to rest."

"Master Fozi is here, can I ask him to take a look at my mother's bones? My mother has been in pain for days and nights and can't sleep..."

"And our family, my father can't straighten his back anymore, there is no other way now, we still need hot compresses every day..."

……

Xiangli Feilu looked at Xianglihong: the tall and straight man also saw his old age and entered the house.

Xianglihong untied his cloak, and when he reached out to warm himself by the fire, he could see his pale and swollen knuckles, which proved that he was also suffering from bone disease.

He noticed Xiangli Feilu's gaze, and said in a deep voice: "—it doesn't matter, it's an old problem, and the townspeople are used to it. It's still a decoction to dispel the cold. Now the water is misty and the breath is chaotic. The most important thing is that it is not clear whether the demons have infiltrated the town. Several people were killed in their own homes a few days ago, and there were no signs of fighting before they died.

Xiangli Feilu also frowned.

Along the way, he can clearly see what Qingyue Town looks like now.

"It should have mixed into the town, and the water mist in the town, although I can't distinguish anything, but it has a devilish energy." Xiangli Feilu said.

"The auras of people, gods, ink, and demons are all mixed together, so I can't tell."

Xianglihong sighed, but his tone was still steady and calm, "I have already made up my mind about this matter. The root of our Qingyue Town, which is coveted by demons, is nothing more than the Spring of God's Tears. I have sealed the spring in my magic weapon. , is hiding somewhere in the priest's dock, and they will definitely follow and hide here."

"Is there anything I can do?" Xiangli Feilu asked in a deep voice.

"You don't need to do anything else about exorcising demons. It's just that I'm out of energy, and I'm still taking those younger generations with me. I need to make time to teach them the method of exorcising demons. Take care of me."

Xianglihong coughed a few times, Xiangli Feilu frowned, and was interrupted when he was about to speak.

Maybe it was the heat from the fire, which made his bones ache unbearably, and beads of sweat came out together.

He frowned, his face turned pale for a while, and it became difficult for him to speak, "Don't say anything, this is my decision."

"Our country of Jiang... first received the blessing of King Peacock Daming, and then ushered in your birth. That was the most stable and glorious period of time for our country of Jiang. Although I am not as good as you in terms of geomantic omen, once the peacock dies, I also know that the country's fortune will be reversed." .”

Looking at the flames, Xianglihong murmured, "You can guard the royal city with the Qingyue Sword, but what about leaving the royal city? It is Qingyue Town now, and the situation will become more and more serious in the future. Do your best to protect everyone?"

Xiangli Feilu didn't speak, his green eyes reflected the light of the fire.

Rong Yi had already fallen asleep leaning against him, holding his hand, and tilting her head against his shoulder.

This phoenix has been a little lethargic in the past few days. The further south he goes, the heavier the water vapor, which seems to make him a little uncomfortable.

A human voice came faintly from behind the yard, mixed with a woman's gentle tone: "It's okay, let me do it."

A beautiful, frail and petite woman came out from the backyard, and together with several other servants, she brought food to the table.

She looked a little shy and timid, and just gestured with her eyes.

Xianglihong stood up, took the food from her hand and put it down, then untied the cloak and wrapped it around her: "Go back to the room after putting it down, it's windy and humid outside, if the fire goes out, tell the servants."

Then with a smile on his lips, he said to Xiangli Feilu, "This is my wife."

Xianglifei Lu wanted to get up with him, but he was caught by the sleeping phoenix beside him, so he could only say softly: "Master's wife is good."

The woman looked at him, didn't say much, just smiled and nodded, her soft eyes looked at him curiously - like everyone else, their attention was not only Xiangli Feilu, but also Xiangli Rong Yi beside Fei Lu.

The young man slept peacefully and boldly, with the appearance of being completely attached.

She then withdrew her gaze, saluted and backed away.

Rong Yi woke up at this time. He rubbed his eyes, looked left and right, and found that there was more food in front of him, so he opened Xiangli Feilu's hand, stretched out his hand to grab a piece of snack, and started to eat.

Clasping it with both hands, and being by the fire again, as soon as we let go, the smoldering heat is suddenly pulled away, and even the wind blows by it seems even colder.

"Recently, there are too many people living in the priest's dock, it's a bit crowded, and there are other places who come to wander around, follow the practitioners who are trying to find a way, I will give you... a room for the two of you, and I will take care of it later , you take him out for a walk. There used to be many interesting places in Qingyue Town, but it’s a pity that they were all flooded.”

Xiangli Feilu said: "No need. I came all the way today and saw that all the older people in the town were suffering from bone disease. It happened that I also brought some medicinal materials here. I will start tonight and seek cure."

Xianglihong couldn't restrain himself from coughing a few more times, his cheeks became sickly flushed, and he laughed: "This is what I'm going to tell you later. It's all...don't worry, you're still young, It is a good thing to find someone who is sincerely with you, since you have stayed by your side, treat them well and let go of the past."

He looked at Rong Yi with loving eyes.

Rong Yi had just finished eating a plate of peach blossom crisps, Xiang Lihong also brought the one in front of him, his hands were trembling abnormally, but his movements were very steady.

Xiangli Feilu said coldly: "...It's just a love disaster."

"In the world, how can love be picked up so high and put down gently?"

Xianglihong still smiled, "Your teacher's wife too... At first, I didn't want to return to vulgarity. She asked me, she was seriously ill, and her long-cherished wish in this life was to ask for only me. I can cross the world, why not her? At that time, I also It’s just a love disaster. When Peacock was here, he once told you and me that Jiang Guo’s Buddhism is destined to be born for the people, and it’s the truth that you can’t practice the Dharma of No Hindered Mind.”

Jiang's folk customs are like this, and it is just a common choice for a monk to return to the vulgar.

When Rong Yi heard her master's name, she pricked up her ears: "Peacock Daming King?"

"That's right, Peacock Daming King Bodhisattva, he used to be the God of Protecting the Country here. Back then, the plague was rampant and it was about to spread to the King's City. At that time, the Buddha was still young, and he had just taken over the position of the National Teacher. That day..."

Xianglihong murmured, "He saw it, and I saw it too. Jiang Guoguo Gate is there, the survivors are inside the city gate, and the infected are outside the city gate. No doctor dares to save them, and no one dares to let them in... … there is no grass outside, and there is a shortage of water and food, it is a living purgatory.”

Rong Yi rested her chin and listened carefully.

"But when the peacock came, he flew down from the sky, and everything he passed was in spring..."

Xiang Lihong sighed a few words, "That is also the only miracle I have seen in my half life."

"And then?" Rong Yi continued to ask.

Xiangli Feilu watched his expression, somewhat puzzled by his thoughts.

Rong Yi just listened quietly, with serious eyes.

Although he had seen all these when he was investigating Xiangli Feilu, he felt different when he saw it himself and heard it from others.

"Later, the Buddha came and told me that he said that day, Master, I want to study medicine and find magic medicine, so that the common people can no longer suffer from this kind of suffering, and he wants to be like Peacock Daming King, to overcome disasters and relieve disasters... From that day on, He really did, and it hasn't changed so far."

"Master, it's getting late, I'll go up to make some repairs first, and you should rest first."

Xiangli Feilu's expression didn't change, he just interrupted him quietly.

Rong Yi followed him back to the prepared room.

I don't know if there is a real shortage of rooms, but Xianglihong only reserved one room and one bed for them.The priest who showed them the way said: "This is the wedding room of Mrs. Xiangli before. It was used for big weddings. It is the most spacious and bright. Now it is specially vacated."

Xiangli Feilu was counting the herbs at the table, while Rong Yi was lying on the window looking out.

The people living in the Priest's Wharf are mixed with people, fish and dragons, and people are coming and going. The priests on duty have to make inspections every hour to confirm the status of each resident.

"This is my thing. It's just an ordinary magic weapon inside, nothing in it."

A low, hoarse young man's voice came out from below, followed by a commotion. The voice was very slow and indifferent.

"Young master, it's not that you don't know the current situation in our Qingyue Town. The patrol inspection is normal. If we don't explain the reasons for the magical artifacts you brought, we dare not let you continue to live, but Just take a look, why do you do this!"

Rong Yi opened the window and looked down, and saw a young man in black surrounded by people in the corner. The young man couldn't see his face clearly, but his face was as pale as a ghost, gloomy and silent.

"What are you looking at?"

Xiangli Feilu counted the magic medicine and turned out his medical skills, and suddenly found that Rong Yi had been looking at it by the window for a long time.

This phoenix is ​​not noisy, it seems very abnormal.

"I'm looking at these people." Rong Yi said, "I still miss Master."

Xiangli Feilu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Rongyi.

"Your master?"

"Peacock Daming King, is my master."

Rong Yi was seriously sitting by the window with her chin resting on her hands, and her expression revealed a kind of childish seriousness.

"I also want to be as good-looking as him, to overcome disasters and resolve disasters, but the master didn't teach me this. He said that I am a phoenix, and I don't need to learn those petty ways. The phoenix is ​​born to destroy everything."

"My master used to comb me too. He combed my fur the best, and because he is also a feather tribe, he knows what I like to eat best. It's just that I asked him before if he wanted to raise me, and he said no. Now I think, he About the same as you, he raised Jiang Guo people first, so he doesn't want to raise me."

Rong Yi thought for a while, and seriously wondered, "How can it be better?"

Xiangli Feilu didn't answer anymore.

After a while, when he turned his head again, Rong Yi had already climbed onto the couch, occupied the central position again, and fell asleep wrapped in a quilt.

He went to bed, and Xiangli Feilu didn't plan to go to bed and sleep, thinking that if he was sleepy, he would go to rest in a different place after Rong Yi slept well.

In the early hours of the morning, Xianglihong sent him a secret scroll called "Dark Shennong", which recorded various lost ancient recipes and forbidden techniques. It was originally a forbidden book.

Xiang Lihong wrote on the title page: "It's the end of the road, so I have to use it."

Xiangli Feilu flipped through the back and found a bone disease solution commented by Xiang Lihong: "Yin Qi enters the body, water vapor entangles the bone disease solution: rare, burn ashes mixed with water."

"The horn of the unicorn is still there, but the feather of the phoenix has been searched for for many years, and returned empty-handed."

They have the unicorn horn. Once upon a time, a black unicorn broke into the territory of Jiang Kingdom with a demon.

It's just that phoenix feathers are too hard to find. The phoenix is ​​already the rarest protoss. Not to mention humans, even some protoss may not be able to see a phoenix for thousands of years.

...But by coincidence, there is a real phoenix beside him.

Xiangli Feilu frowned, let go of the file, and came to the window.

Looking down from a height, there are people coming and going in the Priest's Wharf. Because he is a Buddhist disciple and has a high status, several priests are guarding the bottom of their building.

Those priests were still very young, but without exception, their hands were tightly wrapped with cloth strips, and they strangled their flesh and blood tightly, so as to relieve some bone pain.

"what is this?"

He heard a young man's voice behind him. Rong Yi was dressed in loose clothes. The outer robe was pink and white, and the inner shirt was red. Half of his bare shoulders were tilted, "You've been watching all night, don't come to accompany me." Am I sleeping?"

Xiangli Fei Lu's heart trembled, and he hurried over to take back the secret scroll, but saw that Rong Yi had already lowered his eyes, pointing to the line and began to read.

"It's rare..."

"The ends of the earth, return empty-handed..."

Xiangli Feilu froze in place.

Rong Yi looked up at him, her phoenix eyes raised, "You want my phoenix hair."

"If you want it, why don't you say it?"

He stood up, walked in front of Xiangli Feilu, leaned closer, hooked his collar with one hand, and smiled maliciously, "A feather is nothing, but Buddha, I want you to promise me one." thing."

His eyes were sparkling, and the indifferent fragrance of flowers floated up, lingering on the tip of his nose.

Behind him is the curtain of the bed, the dark red curtain has not been removed, and the wind blows, followed by faint shaking.
