A guide to modern life of the ancestors

Cheng Lao came to city b because he was busy with work, so naturally he didn't have much time to entertain Yuxi and Li Qingqing.But these two people don't seem to need to pay special attention, after all, if you count carefully, Yuxi is also an old resident of this city.After talking to Mr. Cheng and Fan Jie, Yuxi and Li Yuqing wandered around city b in the afternoon.Of course, in order to prevent unnecessary trouble from being discovered by passers-by, both Yuxi and Li Qingqing used blindfold methods.Even Bai Bai, who is a divine beast, was disguised by them as a puppy—the divine beast itself didn't mind at all.

This is the first time since Bai Bai was born that he returned to wandering the streets. He looked very happy, and it was rare that he didn't come close to Yuxi and Li Qingqing to try to hear what they were talking about.

Compared with Shengjing a thousand years ago, the area of ​​City B alone has increased more than ten times.Although the occasional ancient buildings on the street can still make Yuxi and Li Yuqing feel a little bit of the time when they were in the dynasty, but after all, the thousand years have passed, and everything they used to be familiar with has become the past.

Suddenly, a dark blue road sign appeared in front of the two of them.

The four words "Ascension to the Prince's Mansion" brought Yuxi and Li Yuqing's thoughts back to that morning thousands of years ago.

It turns out that they have already come here...

In fact, since returning home, Yuxi really wanted to see Luo Zhilan.But helplessly, the relationship between the Luo family and the royal family is a bit tense now, and Luo Zhilan, who has married the prince and became a member of the royal family according to the etiquette, is no longer the person who can meet whenever she wants.

Of course, as a monk, Yuxi must have a way to see Luo Zhilan, but he didn't want to cause trouble to the family because of himself, so he waited at home according to the rules.

At this time, the news that the princess's brother wanted to see her had already been reported, but no one in the mansion would have guessed that Yuxi and other people in the Luo mansion would be called to the prince's mansion in advance because of this incident.

The carriage from the Prince's Mansion had already waited outside the mansion. Although she was anxious to see Luo Zhilan, Yuxi accompanied her mother and got into the carriage first.Li Yuqing also went with him-although even he himself didn't know why he insisted on getting involved in a common thing of ordinary people.After getting into the carriage, Mrs. Luo, who hadn't spoken for a long time, put her trembling hand on the back of Yuxi's hand, "Will Zhilan be okay?" She asked.

After hearing what her mother said, Yuxi hurried back: "She will be fine, I will save her."

"That's fine...that's fine..."

Listening to the conversation between Yuxi and Mrs. Luo, Li Yuqing frowned involuntarily.He believed that Yuxi knew as well as himself that monks could not interfere with the fate of mortals, they had neither the qualification nor the ability.

The Luo Mansion and the Prince's Mansion were not far away, and the carriage stopped at the end of the long street after a while. As soon as Yu Xi and the others got off the car, they saw his father walking from the other end of the long street.Several people did not speak, they walked into the mansion under the guidance of the prince's attendants.

The atmosphere in the Prince's Mansion was very dignified. Mrs. Luo wanted to ask the attendant Luo Zhilan what happened several times, but she only got people around her shaking their heads in silence.The monk's five senses are sensitive, maybe Yuxi, who is in a hurry, hasn't noticed it yet, but Li Qingqing, who is on the side, has already smelled the faint smell of blood in the air.

Just when they arrived at the door of Luo Zhilan's hospital, a young man suddenly appeared in front of them.This man was wearing a robe intertwined with platinum, and his hair was tied in a white jade crown. Although his attire was gorgeous, the expression on his face was a sadness that Li Yiqing had never seen before.

……

After seeing a group of people, the young man suddenly saluted them with red eyes. Seeing this, Master Luo rushed to help him up, "His Royal Highness, this is absolutely impossible!"

Although she is a noble lady, seeing this scene, Mrs. Luo didn't care about any etiquette. She stepped forward and asked anxiously: "Your Highness, may I ask what happened to the Crown Princess?"

Hearing this, the prince was silent for a while before he said, "Zhilan...had a miscarriage."

"Miscarriage?" After hearing this, Mrs. Luo almost lost her footing. After all, she had never heard of her daughter's pregnancy.Seeing Mrs. Luo like this, Li Yuqing who was standing next to her hastily stretched out his hand to support her. After standing still, Mrs. Luo continued to whisper: "It's not like a miscarriage..." Then she fell silent, a terrifying look The thought came to Mrs. Luo's heart.

At this time, the prince suddenly fell silent, and he said to Mrs. Luo: "Go and see her..." After speaking, he moved away from the door.After all, Luo Zhilan is a female relative, and now neither Master Luo nor Yuxi can enter.After Mrs. Luo's back disappeared at the door, Master Luo came over and asked: "His Royal Highness, please tell the truth to the old minister, Zhilan...how long is she left, and is it because of miscarriage?"

The prince didn't answer Master Luo's words, but his eyes turned red involuntarily.While the few people were talking, someone trotted in and reported: "His Royal Highness, someone from the palace is here." After hearing this, the prince asked nervously, "Who?"

"It's my lord."

Just as he was talking, a fat middle-aged eunuch walked over surrounded by others.When he saw Master Luo, he suddenly frowned, then came over and saluted the prince and said slowly: "Your Majesty asked our family to come over to see the princess, and he also gave some ginseng by the way." The eunuch came up with a wooden box. The father-in-law opened the wooden box and showed Luo Xiang the contents of the wooden box. He said: "This is the best century-old ginseng. It is the blessing of the princess to receive it. .”

Ordinary people may still be taken aback by this century-old ginseng, but Yu Xi and Li Yuqing, who are monks, don't think this thing is precious at all.Seeing the eunuch's arrogant look, Li Yuqing couldn't help but let out a sneer.Although Li Yuqing didn't know much about the world and the world, the time he spent at Yuxi's house was enough for him to understand the complicated relationship between the Luo Mansion and the royal family.

After hearing Li Yuqing's sneer, the eunuch turned around and gave him a hard look and asked, "Excuse me, Your Highness, who is this?"

In fact, the crown prince didn't know Li Yuqing either. When he came in with Yuxi and others just now, the crown prince was a little confused.Unexpectedly, Master Luo suddenly came up to explain: "This is my adopted son."

Hearing this, the father-in-law just glanced at Li Jingqing again and stopped talking.The authorities are fascinated, the bystanders are clear, maybe Yuxi has not realized anything, but at this time the eunuch standing at the door of Luo Zhilan really gave Li Qingqing a feeling... This person was sent by the emperor to supervise Luo Zhilan's death .

Maybe that's the truth.

After a while, an imperial physician trotted out. He knelt down and said to Master Luo, "Prince Princess is about to die...Master Prime Minister, go and see her."

Yu Xi, who had been standing by the side without saying a word, rushed into the room directly after hearing this sentence. He had known him for a long time, and Li Yuqing had never seen such an expression on this young and mature monk.

When Yuxi left home, Luo Zhilan was just a child. Although the two of them hadn't been together for a long time, the blood relationship and good childhood memories were enough to make him love his sister like every brother.

As soon as Yuxi entered the door, she saw the weak woman lying on the sickbed.

Luo Zhilan is very thin, and her cheeks are deeply sunken.

After seeing Yuxi, the woman lying on the bed suddenly smiled brightly at him, "Brother, you are here."

Hearing this familiar title, a tear suddenly fell from Yuxi's eyes.Seeing his daughter's appearance, Master Luo, who came in behind Yuxi, also turned around a little bit unbearably.He clenched his hands into fists tightly in his cuffs.

After all, they are not a family, Li Yuqing did not enter the door, he just stood there and looked at the prince indifferently, looking at the cowardly man who was obviously resentful and had red eyes, but could do nothing about reality.

Luo Zhilan on the hospital bed was still babbling with her parents and brother, but her voice was so low that even Yuxi could hardly hear her.

Seeing his sister like this, Yuxi suddenly tightened Luo Zhilan's hand, trying to input his pure spiritual power into his sister's body.It's a pity that once these spiritual powers enter the body of a mortal, they are like mud cows entering the sea, and they can no longer be found.

Even after Yu Xi's movements were over, another wave of spiritual power came back from his hand.This spiritual power was so powerful that it scraped through Yuxi's meridians like a blade.A few seconds later, Yuxi spat out a big mouthful of blood while supporting the bed.

Cultivators are against the sky, they have neither the right nor the power to pull mortals back from the Temple of Reincarnation.Just as Yuxi spat out the mouthful of blood, there were bursts of thunder in the originally clear sky outside the house - this was a warning to the monk's reckless actions.

Seeing her son's appearance, Mrs. Luo hurriedly pulled him up. She cried and said, "Don't do this, mother can't see you like this."

Luo Zhilan didn't see her brother's current appearance, her eyes were closed, but she was still talking.Yuxi wiped the blood from his mouth and leaned forward. He heard Luo Zhilan say: "Brother, I have too many things to regret and regret in my life... I used to always feel that I was the eldest daughter of the Luo family. You need to pay attention to everything. But now I realize that you can’t always live by the rules set by others...you too, if something happens to you in the future...cough cough...don’t be trapped by the so-called morality..." Then Although Yuxi still didn't understand what her sister meant, she whispered, "Okay, I will."

Hearing this, Luo Zhilan suddenly laughed, and she continued: "You are a monk and can live for a long time, if you can still meet me in the future... Whether I remember you or not at that time, you have to remind me ..."

The sky suddenly cleared again, as if Lei Sheng had never appeared before, and a young girl walked away in Yuxi's memory along with the thunder...

In the 17th year of Sheng Chaoxiang, with the passing away of the crown princess Luo Zhilan, a struggle that had been brewing for a long time finally began.But this has nothing to do with that young girl.
