That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1069
I don't know how long it took, Xu Beiyou gradually felt a sense of warmth lingering around his body, slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a white cloud copper stove, in which was burning silver charcoal inches long, burning At that time, there was blueness in the fiery red, without a trace of smoke, so it was as warm as spring.

Xu Beiyou remembered that this method was often used in the palace, whether it was Ganquan Palace or Feishuang Palace, there were many.

Is this in the palace?

its not right.

Are you dreaming?
Xu Beiyou's mind was still in chaos, and he closed his eyes again, when he suddenly heard Xiao Zhinan's voice, "Are you awake?"

Xu Beiyou opened his eyes again, this time it was not a Baiyun copper furnace, but Xiao Zhinan's face.I saw that Zhinan's wonderful eyes were fixed on him, and his face was full of undisguised joy.

Xu Beiyou subconsciously wanted to get up, but Xiao Zhinan stretched out his hand and gently held it down, "Master Lan came over just now, saying that you were using too much force, so you should rest for a while."

At this moment, Xu Beiyou gradually came back to his senses, and his thoughts became clear. Looking around, he was in a wing room. The faint scent of sandalwood, I think this should be the guest room of Buddha Gate.At this time, there was a copper stove in the room, which was exactly the Baiyun copper stove that Xu Beiyou had seen earlier. Through the many holes in the outer cover of the stove, the flames in the stove could be faintly seen dancing.It was because of this stove that although it was snowing heavily outside, the room was still warm as spring.

Xu Beiyou exhaled lightly, and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

Xiao Zhinan flattened his mouth lightly and said: "Three hours, you said you too, obviously Old Master Lan has stopped Xiao Lin, and what you are doing so desperately, it will appear that you are a great sword fairy, and you are very powerful .”

Xu Beiyou shook his head helplessly and said, "It's not the same, if I don't make a move, I'll show my cowardice, and I can't scare the old tortoise Chen Ye."

Xiao Zhinan still said: "What is a mere dust leaf, can it compare with you? If a dust leaf dies, the Taoist sect will not stop, if a dust leaf does not die, the Taoist sect will not take over the world, but if it is gone You, the imperial court... Our family is really about to collapse, how can he compare with you!"

While speaking, an angry look appeared on her face, obviously she was really angry.

Xu Beiyou hurriedly raised his hands in surrender and said, "Okay, my princess, Xu Beiyou knew he was wrong, he shouldn't be a hero, and he won't dare again next time."

Xiao Zhinan glanced at him, and hummed, "That's not too bad."

Supporting the bed with both hands, Xu Beiyou sat up slowly, leaned against the head of the bed, and then stretched out his palm to gently lift up a strand of her hanging hair.

The two made eye contact, Xiao Zhinan smiled a little shyly, lowered his eyelids subconsciously, but then raised his eyes again, and bravely looked at Xu Beiyou, the smile on his face became brighter, not far away in the Baiyun copper furnace The flames of the fire shone on her face, it was really bright and beautiful.

Xu Beiyou's heart fluttered a little, he stretched out his hand to hold her slender palm, sighed, and didn't know what to say.

Xiao Zhinan asked softly: "We have won a battle today, why are you sighing again?"

Xu Beiyou stared into her eyes, and said softly: "It's just that I suddenly felt a little sentimental. From the 20th year of Taiping to the 24th year of Taiping, in just five years, too many things happened, as if 50 years had passed. "

Xiao Zhinan joked on purpose: "It's been 50 years, you see your hair is gray, and I'm still as beautiful as a flower."

Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "Okay, when we got married we made an appointment to grow old together, but you secretly changed your mind."

Then he stretched out a hand to caress Xiao Zhinan's cheeks, pretending to be a frivolous apprentice, "But this little lady's face is tender, she doesn't look like an old girl in her 20s, but like a girl in her [-]s. A little girl of seventeen or eighteen."

Xiao Zhinan slapped his palm off, feigned anger and said, "You're old, I think you're an 80-year-old man, and you're dead."

Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "What does this poem say? I am eighty years old and eighteen years old. You are a beauty and I have white hair. I am the same age as Qing, only separated by sixty years. By the way, there is another poem , eighty-year-old bride of eighteen, with pale hair and red makeup. Mandarin ducks form twin nights in the quilt, and a pear tree crushes begonias."

Xiao Zhinan's face flushed slightly, and he spat: "Who wants to sleep with you in a mandarin duck quilt? Who wants to crush a begonia with a pear tree with you?"

Xu Beiyou pretended to be surprised and said: "It's strange, I gave you my innocent body, don't you want to admit it?"

Xiao Zhinan raised his hand to hit him, "Glib! Frivolous! A disciple!"

Xu Beiyou stretched out his hand and gently grabbed her wrist, "We're already husband and wife, why are you being so frivolous? Besides, when have I ever been so frivolous to you? If you say that about me, I'm really going to be so frivolous to you. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a crime for nothing.”

As he said that, Xu Beiyou stretched out his hands, wanting to do something wrong.

Xiao Zhinan, who was originally sitting on the edge of the bed, hurriedly got up, stepped back a few steps, his expression darkened, "Nangui, this is a pure place for Buddhism! Let's behave ourselves."

Xu Beiyou said solemnly: "I just want to help you tidy up your clothes. Look, they are all wrinkled."

Xiao Zhinan looked down, and there were indeed some messy folds, which should have been wrinkled when she was lying on the bedside just now.

She couldn't help giggling, and suddenly remembered that when she first met Xu Beiyou, he was astonished at her, but he didn't dare to tease her wantonly like today.

At that time, he was adhering to the rules, he was indifferent, and he had a bit of arrogance that "the princes and generals would rather have kindness".

After all, at that time, Xiao Zhinan was the jewel in the palm of His Majesty the Emperor, while Xu Beiyou was just a penniless pawn. The status of the two of them was not so different, and they were very different. Even after they got married, there was always a layer of love between them. Separation, this separation did not come from Xiao Zhinan, but from Xu Beiyou. He somewhat intended to enshrine Xiao Zhinan as a female Bodhisattva. He spoke very politely and left room.

It's just that now that Xu Beiyou is successful and famous, and has the same status as Xiao Zhinan, he naturally loses a bit of estrangement and estrangement of being respectful as a guest, and has a bit more intimacy that young men and women should have, and is more like a normal couple.

Xu Beiyou smiled softly and asked, "His Royal Highness?"

Xiao Zhinan came back to his senses in an instant, straightened the front of his clothes, and said with a straight face, "What are you doing?"

Xu Beiyou asked, "What's the situation outside?"

Xiao Zhinan said sternly: "The puja of the Yulan Basin Festival is over, but there will be many follow-ups in Buddhism, so many visitors have not dispersed yet, and most of them have already settled down in the temple."

Xu Beiyou let out a groan, and fell into deep thought.

Getting rid of the Taoist sect undoubtedly made this Obon festival ceremony less variable, so the next thing is to have an open and honest talk with Qiuyue.
