That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1043

After Xu Beiyou left the prison, he returned to his mansion alone, that is, the emperor-in-law's mansion built when he was newly married. Perhaps because of the mutual understanding between the husband and wife, at this time Xiao Zhinan also happened to ride a phoenix chariot from the eldest princess in Xiao Yuyi. After returning from the mansion, after getting off the chariot, the husband and wife came to the main hall side by side.

Xu Beiyou asked, "How's my aunt's illness?"

Xiao Zhinan couldn't hide his worry, "My aunt is in poor health. Although she has lived in seclusion for many years to recuperate, she has not improved. Now that she is getting older, the old disease relapses, which is really debilitating. This time, the illness is severe. I’m afraid it’s not easy to get through.”

Xu Beiyou sighed softly, "The old man is in a similar situation. The days are coming to an end, and manpower will eventually be exhausted."

Xiao Zhinan stretched out his hand to hold Xu Beiyou's palm, and comforted him softly: "You don't have to worry too much. There are many treasures in the world that can prolong your life. My father often said a word when he was alive. After all, with Daqi sitting on the world's manpower and material resources, it is not difficult to search for heaven, material and earth treasures, so the illness of father and aunt will definitely improve."

Xu Beiyou knew what his wife meant to comfort her, and he didn't want to worry her, so he patted the back of her hand lightly, and said softly, "It's natural, you can rest assured."

Then Xu Beiyou told Xiao Zhinan how he went to the prison today, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Zhinan didn't rush to answer, but fell into deep thought.

Xu Beiyou knew that his wife was smarter than himself, and most of the time when the husband and wife got along, one worked hard and the other contributed, so he didn't urge him, but just waited quietly.

After a while, Xiao Zhinan said softly: "I have heard about the Buddhist Yulan Basin Festival, and it is indeed like the Dragon King said, it is an excellent place for all parties to take the opportunity to meet. Ascending to the throne, Xiao Jin and Lin Han took this opportunity to meet at the Obon Festival, if you want to meet the Zen Master Qiuyue of Buddhism, this is indeed a great opportunity to perform at the Obon Festival right in front of you."

Xu Beiyou said slowly: "Buddhism has been the second child of a thousand years for so many years. Looking at the world, it is Buddhism who most wants to replace Taoism. Under such circumstances, Buddhism is absolutely unwilling to make wedding dresses for Taoism. Now we sword If Zong and Daomen are hostile, then Buddhism will not completely tear up the skin with Jianzong, and will even help Jianzong. If the planning is proper, Jianzong may not be able to join hands with Buddhism to fight against Daomen in the open and in the dark. As for Aunt Qin What happened should be a probing behavior of Buddhism."

Xiao Zhinan hummed lightly, thoughtfully.

Xu Beiyou continued: "Speaking of it, it should be the same. Buddhism has been silent for many years. I don't believe that Buddhism is not half envious when I see Taoism calling the wind and rain in the world. Now that Taoism wants to make itself permanent, how can Buddhism be reconciled? There is action."

Xiao Zhinan collected his thoughts, and said softly: "This time, I will go with you to the Obon Festival ceremony."

Xiao Zhinan's voice was not loud, but his tone was extremely firm, and even had a bit of unquestionable taste. Although it was nothing to be placed on the princess who was in charge of the temple, during the time she spent alone with Xu Beiyou, it was is extremely rare.

Xu Beiyou was taken aback for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Xiao Zhinan said ahead of time: "I'm not impulsive."

Xu Beiyou was stunned, he didn't know how to persuade him.

From when he went to Jiangdu to when he returned to the imperial capital, he fought all the way, one person and one sword. He was used to fighting alone, but now there was another person, and it was his first wife. hesitate.

Xiao Zhinan naturally saw what was going on in his heart, stretched out his pure white fist, shook it in front of his eyes, and said with a light smile: "Don't look down on me, I am also at the twelfth floor of the Earth Immortal, and Chuan Guo Although Xi and Tianzijian's body defense is not as good as you, the Great Sword Immortal, they are not soft persimmons to be manipulated by others. Besides, Xiang Lan should also participate as the owner of the Tianji Pavilion this time. Could it be that you two masters in the Heavenly Secret Ranking combined cannot protect a little girl like me?"

Xu Beiyou was taken aback for another moment, then couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Speaking of which, he really underestimated Xiao Zhinan.

After the Mingling battle, Xiao Zhinan got a great opportunity to become the twelfth floor of the earth fairy, which is already a threshold of the earth fairy realm, which can be regarded as entering the room.And don't underestimate the realm of the twelfth floor. If Xu Beiyou and the eighteenth-floor immortals are aside, no matter where she is placed, she can be regarded as a master figure, not to mention that she has a legend comparable to Du Tianyin. The Imperial Seal, and the Tianzi Sword, which is not inferior to Zhuxian, plus she is in charge of the fortune of the Daqi, and is protected by the luck of the Daqi, so she can barely use these two heavy weapons. Fighting alone may not be her opponent.

After all, the simplest cross-border fight in the world is not a swordsman, nor a supernatural power, but a magic weapon to suppress. How can Xu Beiyou defeat the crowd with one?The Zhu Xian in his hand is indispensable.It is a great blessing for an ordinary earth immortal on the eighteenth floor to have one heavy weapon. A wealthy person like Xiao Zhinan who holds two heavy weapons is comparable to Qiu Ye, the head teacher of Taoism. Too bully.

Not to mention, there is also Xu Beiyou, the Great Sword Immortal who is one of the three saints on the Tianji List, personally escorting her.

If they want to keep the two of them, even if it is to put aside the intervention of the Buddhist sect, Qiuye must do it himself, but at this time, Qiuye is just making up for his Taoism and will not leave Xuandu at all.

Xiao Zhinan's seemingly risky decision, when he thought about it carefully, turned out to be quite flawless.

However, Xu Beiyou still hesitated a little, and asked, "The court?"

Xiao Zhinan said with a smile: "To go to the Buddhist ancestral court once, it only takes more than ten days to go back and forth. There are Zhang Daban and Uncle Xie in charge of the court, and there is an old man in charge, so nothing will happen."

At this point, Xu Beiyou couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

Seeing Xu Beiyou loosen his mouth, Xiao Zhinan had a sincere smile on his face. He gently took Xu Beiyou's arm, tilted his head slightly, and leaned on his shoulder with crescent eyebrows. He didn't see the majestic demeanor of the princess regent in ordinary times. Just a little girl who lives in the same room with her husband.

She proposed to attend the Obon Festival together with Xu Beiyou this time. In fact, she had some selfish intentions. Since the two got married, they always get together less and leave more. , so she moved some thoughts and persuaded Xu Beiyou to take her to the Obon Festival together, so that the two of them could spend more time together.

The husband and wife leaned on each other and stared at each other.

At this moment, Xu Beiyou Fuling's heart came to him, he suddenly understood his wife's intentions, his heart felt soft and warm, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand, put his arms around her shoulders, and said softly, "Zhinan, I will never fail you. "
