I heard that you are my son's father

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Qingyu hesitated for a while, but stopped in the hallway to pray for the banquet.

He didn't come down for breakfast after praying for the banquet. He waited for a long time for the man to come out. Seeing that he had his hair hanging down in a bun today, without a crown, he was wearing a black toga covered with gold silk. Maybe it was the color of the clothes that reflected it. paler than usual.

He still came with the fan, walked up to Lu Qingyu, and put his arm on his shoulder.

Lu Qingyu hurriedly said: "There are many people in the city, don't try to resist the wind, just walk honestly."

"I know." Qi Yan smiled at him, "Isn't the suzerain going out without personal support?"

Lu Qingyu: "..."

He raised his arm, supported his creditor, and walked out.

Before he walked out, he saw the shopkeeper of Rong Yinzhai coming with a few people, carrying two small boxes, and saw the two of them: "The suzerain and the Taoist priest are going out?"

"What's the matter, tell me first."

"Oh, the wedding clothes are ready, and I'll send them to you two today." Shopkeeper Rong waved his hand to those people to bring the things forward, "Also, the betrothal gift has been bought here, and I just wait for the next betrothal day to send it over." .”

"Okay, send it in first, we'll try again when we get back." Qi Yan was talking, when he felt the people around him press his arm.

He looked back: "What's wrong?"

Lu Qingyu hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Before... I thought that if I found the child with you, we would still have to marry for the sake of the child, but... my devilish energy can't sense the whereabouts of the child, so I might not be able to find it for you. Will you still marry me?"

"I married you for you, not for the children."

"I...I don't need it." For him, he felt even more guilty.

"Are you going to regret the marriage again?"

"If it's not for the children, then there is no need to get married. I will still try my best to find the children."

Qi Yan couldn't figure out the relationship between them, he only understood one thing: "Do you really want to regret the marriage?"

Lu Qingyu lowered his eyes and fell silent for a moment. The better this person treats him, the more he feels ashamed. Now that he feels that he may not be able to help him, then he really can't delay him any longer. He clasped his hands and nodded.

"Then do you want me to accompany you for the rest of your life?"

"No... no need."

The banquet was some distance away from him, and he looked him up and down for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out. He had already figured out how to live these decades, why did the Taoist companion suddenly not want him to accompany him?

Shopkeeper Rong had already moved the things in, and greeted them with a clap of hands and a smile: "That's nothing, you two go ahead and I'll come back in two days."

He looked at the people around him while praying for the banquet, and was silent for a while, so he could only say, "You don't have to come in two days."

"what happened?"

"The marriage is uncertain for the time being." He said, seeing that the other party was shocked, he added, "You don't need to refund the money you paid, and you don't need to take back the things you sent. The betrothal gift has already been bought, so let's send it over. It can be used for daily use even if it is not used as a betrothal gift.”

"It...isn't about money." Shopkeeper Rong looked back and forth between the two of them, "Aren't you all very nice, what's going on, are you having trouble, it's normal for young people to quarrel and get angry, this marriage How can you say that if you can't make it, you can't make it, don't you two stop thinking about it?"

After praying for the banquet, he looked at Lu Qingyu again: "Do you want to think about it again?"

The people around lowered their eyes, and after a moment of silence, shook their heads.

"Then... don't think about it." Qi Yan said.

It's the third time, so be it.

Shopkeeper Rong wanted to say something, but seeing that the two of them were about to leave, it was hard to persuade them any further, so he could only let out a long sigh.

Walking on the street, the voices of people are still buzzing, and wandering vendors such as candied haws and clay figurines are still selling non-stop, but there is silence between the two of them, and there is nothing to say.

Little Golden Hammer read all the scriptures he had read, but he couldn't find out what to do in this situation, and he couldn't come up with an idea.

Obviously destroying the inner alchemy he collected and the formation he arranged before, the Taoist priest didn't propose to separate, why did he do nothing this time, but suddenly wanted to separate?

No, it's not that the lord didn't do anything, he also saved the Taoist priest from the vines.

Why did he want to get married when he ruined his hard work before, but now he wants to regret the marriage after saving his life?

What the hell is he thinking, the more he is abused, the happier he is?

Lu Qingyu walked on the street, thought and thought, and then emphasized: "I will try my best to find the child."

"You really don't want me to do anything for you?"

"You don't owe me anything, and you don't need compensation."

On the contrary, I owe you a lot, and if I continue to trap you with marriage, I will owe you even more, Lu Qingyu thought, he had all kinds of thoughts before, and now he is truly honest with him.

"No, you gave birth to a child, but I abandoned you. If you don't want to get married, I will agree to anything else you want."

Lu Qingyu said softly: "I really don't need anything." He probably didn't conceive a child either.

Little Golden Hammer sighed, what should I do, the lord originally wanted to find a child who could ascend to the ascension, to make up for the Taoist leader, and if the other party didn't want to reconnect with him, then naturally he didn't have to force it.

But what it wants is for two people to fall in love and build a beautiful home together.

The two of them were not together, the Taoist priest turned into a big devil and destroyed the world of cultivation, and the little cub had no one to teach him if he didn't learn well, he had to destroy the six realms again.

Hey, by the way, how did the Taoist priest become a big devil?

Tiandao showed him the illusion of the previous life. The Taoist priest had a golden aura on his body, his face was stern, and he was invincible. He was clearly wearing a magic seal like a saint, but his attacks were extremely cruel.

And at that time, the banquet had already soared, and it couldn't see the intersection of the two people in front of it. I don't know if it was because the banquet left him that he became like this?

It wanted to talk about this when it first came to ask for a banquet, but the law of heaven forbids it. It only said that this secret must not be leaked, otherwise the world will go wrong, and it will affect thousands of worlds.

The two entered the Xu family's courtyard, and the shopkeeper Xu led the two to a seat, gave them some tea, and then led them to the ancestral hall haunted by evil spirits, which was also the place where Lu Qingyu guarded all day yesterday.

The ancestral hall was at the end of the house, and as the group walked, shopkeeper Xu and Lu Qingyu explained the matter of the evil thing and the banquet in detail.

At first, Mr. Xu's family came back from the city and said that he met a beautiful woman in the mountains. Since then, he didn't think about tea and food. Later, his eyes were darkened every day and he was listless. He invited a doctor to see him. The family members were stunned, their son was not married yet, and he didn't have a maid, the servants were all dedicated, every night they watched the son fall asleep, locked the door before going to rest, there was absolutely no possibility of him going out to hang out.

Shopkeeper Xu thought of the beauty in the mountains he mentioned, so he paid attention to it, went to Xianyuzong to ask for a talisman for him to wear, and piled up all the things he could find at home, such as swords, god statues, jade pendants, etc. that could be found at home. Only slightly improved.

But later, some servants and maids in the house also developed this symptom. They were sluggish during the day, their eyes were drooling straight, and within a few days, their vitality was seriously depleted, and they looked haggard.

Shopkeeper Xu has a good reputation in business and is a kind person, but he is not as caring about his servants as his son. He asked the doctor to prescribe some medicine for them, and asked for amulets, so he didn't bother too much, and he didn't let people watch him every step of the way.

Later, the servants began to walk unsteadily, staggered, wobbled, and fell into the well one after another without paying attention.

At the same time, Mr. Xu also wandered towards the well, but was stopped by his servants in time. Shopkeeper Xu panicked, and hurriedly went to Xie Yuzong to invite someone.

"The evil thing is just a phantom. It can be seen in the form of a human being. It can't tell the difference between male and female. It can't touch him with swords and magic tools, but he can touch people." Lu Qingyu said.

"My son said she was a beautiful woman." Shopkeeper Xu said.

"Xiaomei said he is a handsome man." A maid interjected, Xiaomei was the only girl who was rescued among those who jumped down the well.

"So, men see it as a woman, and women see it as a man?" Qi Yan said.

"Then why does Daoist Lu see it as nothing?"

Lu Qingyu: "..."

Shopkeeper Xu realized that he had said the wrong thing, and laughed a few times, leading them to move on.

Entering the ancestral hall, except for some servants who help, there is no need for outsiders to be present. The shopkeeper Xu explained, and retreated, and the servants were guarding outside. Set them up one by one, and sit quietly with your eyes closed.

Qi Yan fell asleep with his arms propped up, and when he woke up, the other party was still sitting quietly.

He fell asleep again, rubbed the center of his brows, his head was still a little drowsy: "If I guess right, it's a mountain spirit."

Lu Qingyu opened his eyes.

"The mountain spirit does not belong to any realm. It is produced by the spirit energy in the mountain. It has no substance and can transform into various forms. It is true that the sword cannot touch you. It is the energy that attacks you."

"That……"

"Actually, your talismans are useful, but not very useful. Mountain spirits are very self-absorbed, and they are good at spying on people's hearts. They can find out a person's preferences, and they will pretend to be the person they like, and then exert their bewitching power. It is very happy to see people go crazy about it and go crazy about it.”

"Then why harm people?"

"I don't know about that. It's not human. It probably didn't say anything about the value of life. When it gets tired, it will find another person. Yesterday it got angry and scratched you. I think it's because you don't have any obsession with it in your eyes."

Lu Qingyu shook his head: "Will I be obsessed with a phantom that I can't even see clearly?"

"So, why didn't it turn into a human in front of you?" Qi Yan was also surprised, "Oh, you don't have a look you like very much, and it can't come out."

Lu Qingyu thought about it carefully: "If this is the case, then if you have a look you like in your heart, wouldn't it be easy to fall into its way? If you come with me... will it be dangerous?"

"If you are spied on by it, you will be easily bewitched by it. If you can't be spied on, it will hurt you again, it's the same." Qi Yan propped his head, and was stunned again, "Why would I be in danger, I won't catch it its way."

"You don't have anything to like?"

"Myself." Qi Yan raised his eyebrows, "But I won't want to stop myself, right?"

People around him knew that he was joking, so they glanced at him and said nothing.

The two were silent again, as if they didn't have much to say today.

After a while, Qi Yan continued to doze off.

Seeing that he was always sleeping today, Lu Qingyu felt strange, wanted to ask, but thought it was better not to bother him.

The night is getting darker, and the shadow of the moon is slanting to the west.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Yan suddenly opened his eyes.

The breeze swayed the surrounding curtains, and the peach wood sword trembled slightly. Lu Qingyu stood up abruptly, closed his eyes and listened for a moment, and then swung his sword towards a lamp on the table.

The lamp fell to the ground, and a looming shadow circled around it, slowly falling to the ground and taking shape.

Lu Qingyu picked up the talisman with the tip of his sword and hit it directly on the face door, the blade passed through, and the phantom did not dissipate in the slightest.

He took a step back, wanting to pray for the banquet, but he wondered why the man was still asleep, but when he lowered his head, he saw that the man had disappeared, he was shocked, and looked around, the ancestral hall, the windows and walls, and the waiting outside None of the servants could be seen, only the fluttering curtains, and some warm and laughing voices in his ears, sometimes clear and sometimes indistinct.

The phantom slowly approached, and the closer it got, the transparent body gradually took on color, and the deep voice smiled slightly: "Xiao Daoist, if you are in my gentle town, don't rush out, I didn't come out last time, I have to do it today." Explore again, why is your heart closed so tightly, why are you afraid to face what you like in your heart, why are you unwilling to admit your liking?"

Lu Qingyu knew that he had entered the phantom formation, he silently felt the weakness in the formation, stabbed violently on a curtain behind him, the phantom in front of his eyes shook, stretched his sleeves, and the scene around him changed again, with lush flowers and plants, oblique Yan Shuangfei, with drizzle staining his clothes, came slowly alone.

The man was wearing red silk shoes and a red dress, on which was embroidered with dragon and phoenix showing auspiciousness in gold thread. Looking up, he was actually covered by a red hijab.
