Zhong Kui was still confused. Xu Xian told him about what happened after his death, and Zhong Kui slowly understood what happened after his death. It turned out that he was rewarded by the Emperor after all.
Zhong Kui kowtowed to Xu Xian. "I will never forget Brother Xu's kindness.
I will repay you in the afterlife. "
In the main hall, Xu Xian spoke for him and collected his corpse. These things made him endlessly grateful. Now, she had specially come to the Imperial Palace to save his soul. Such a benevolent and righteous person, he had never met many in his life.
Xu Xian said to himself, "I'm ashamed!" He quickly helped Zhong Kui up. "I couldn't help you much, it's all your own luck.
You don't have to think about the afterlife. I'll teach you a set of Taoist techniques. Cultivate well, and one day you'll become an immortal, transcending the cycle of life and death. "
Touching Zhong Kui's soul, Xu Xian could not help but sigh. How could a dead person become a ghost immortal?
Shen Tuzhang was so strong that he had to eat countless ghosts after his death to become a ghost immortal. Zhong Kui, on the other hand, was much stronger than Shen Tuzhang.
Zhong Kui was even more speechless. He only said, "I'll follow Brother Xu's arrangements!
But, but I still have something on my mind. "
Xu Xian said resolutely, "Brother Zhong, please say it. As long as it's within my power, I'll do my best."
"I have a younger sister left at the foot of Mount Zhongnan. In a moment of impulse, I committed suicide and left her all alone. Sigh, I hope she doesn't get bullied."
Xu Xian said, "That's fine. Mount Zhongnan is not far from the capital. Once I teach you the technique, you can fly back to meet her, and you'll be spared some pain.
With a brother like you around, no one can bully her. "
He passed a set of techniques he had obtained from the Great Emperor of Dong Yue's memories to Zhong Kui and took out all the silver he had. "I have some silver here. Take it back with you, she might need it.
By the way, are there any males in your family? "
Zhong Kui said, "Only my younger sister, Zhong Li."
Xu Xian said, "Very well, when His Majesty's gift arrives, I'll go to Mount Zhongnan to preside over your funeral and bury your ashes." The ancients were particular about burying people, but it was not appropriate for a woman to preside over such a ceremony.
Although it was weird to preside over a person's funeral.
Zhong Kui stared at Xu Xian, it was as if he was a deity who had descended to save a person who had suffered a lot. Since he was young, only his parents had treated him so well. Warmth wellup in his heart. If he was not as a ghost, he would have already. His eyes.
Zhong Kui looked at Xu Xian again. It was as if a deity had descended to the mortal world to save him, a person who had suffered a lot. Ever since he was young, no one had treated him so well other than his parents. His heart was filled with warmth. If he was not a ghost, he would have been tearing up.
Xu Xian sighed and said, "Brother Zhong is righteous, upright and outspoken. He is also knowledgeable and talented. Xu Xian felt like an old friend at first sight and regretted that I wasn't able to save you in time."
Yet, he hid Pan Yu's incident. This proved that even a good person could be cunning. Moreover, Xu Xian wanted to befriend legendary heroes like Yan Chixia and Zhong Kui. Now that Zhong Kui was in trouble, he had to help him.
Zhong Kui felt dizzy from Xu Xian's flattery. He was overwhelmed with emotions and exclaimed, "My parents gave birth to me, and Xu Xian knows me best!" He felt that his death was worth it to have a friend like Xu Xian.
Xu Xian coughed lightly. He seemed to have fooled someone, but it was not the right time to say anything. "Brother Zhong, you should go back quickly. Don't let your sister wait too long."
Zhong Kui memorized the method and kept the silver. He bowed and said, "Words cannot express my gratitude. I will take my leave now." Then, he flew towards Mount Zhongnan with a gust of wind.
Xu Xian looked at Zhong Kui's departing figure and heaved a sigh of relief. By the time he returned to the Imperial Residence, it was already past midnight. He arrived at Pan Yu's loft and stepped onto the windowsill to enter the room.
Pan Yu was meditating on the bed. She opened her eyes at the sound and said, "You're back."
Xu Xian did not reply and only stared at Pan Yu in a daze.
Pan Yu had a calm smile on her face. The curve of her lips always carried a hint of arrogance. She was only wearing a snow-white silk robe, almost transparent under the moonlight.
Her breasts were round and firm, and two spots of red could be vaguely seen.
Pan Yu noticed Xu Xian's gaze and a hint of shyness appeared in her eyes. She was about to put on her robe and get up.
Xu Xian took a few steps forward and pressed her shoulders down on the bed. He casually brushed her hair behind her and gently bit her earlobe, saying, "I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" His large hand had already wrapped around her slender waist.
Pan Yu panted slightly and said, "Hmm, bad news."
Xu Xian raised his head and caressed her cheek, saying, "Xiao Yu 'er is really a pessimistic person. I will return to Hangzhou after the Qionglin Banquet."
The way Xiao Yu 'er addressed Pan Yu made her heart tremble. But when she heard the bad news, she turned her head and gave Xu Xian a perfect side profile. She faintly said, "Why are you in such a hurry?" She quietly sorted out her chaotic emotions, "Then, what is the good news?"
Xu Xian moved his hand to her slender neck and felt the blood flowing under the layer of jade white skin, "The good news is that I will probably return very soon, and I will stay in the capital for a while."
"Really!?"
Pan Yu turned her head and her bright eyes flashed with a surprised light. But it quickly disappeared and returned to normal. She calmly asked, "Hanwen, did something happen?"
But under that calm expression, there was still a hint of joy. This made Xu Xian sigh. What virtue or ability did he have to decide whether she was happy or sad?
"Yes, it's an important matter."
But Pan Yu's expression did not last long. Xu Xian's big hand had already climbed up to her soft breasts. He wantonly grasped and kneaded. Although there was a layer of silk between them, the warm and delicate touch still made people feel relaxed and happy.
Xu Xian held his head with one hand and smiled as he admired her. Her slightly furrowed brows, her gradually reddening cheeks, her long eyelashes gently trembled, and her eyes rippled. Any change in expression seemed to give her a different kind of beauty.
"Hanwen, don't you have an important matter?" She was extremely embarrassed by his unscrupulous teasing.
"Yes, it's an important matter!"
"What is it … ah!" She let out a delicate cry.
Xu Xian took the opportunity to suck a red bean in his mouth. He sucked and nibbled, making the soft taste slowly become firm. His mouth was full of fragrance.
Pan Yu's body suddenly tensed up. She bit her lower lip, not wanting to let out any more shameful sounds.
When Xu Xian finally let her go, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But a small piece of her chest had been soaked with saliva and became transparent.
Pan Yu bit her thin lips and stared at him with her eyes wide open. She seemed to be embarrassed and annoyed at the same time. There was another kind of beauty in her eyes, but she also understood that the current situation was not under her control. Even she herself was in his hands!
"You are so beautiful."
Xu Xian used these three words to break her original expression. Her pupils dilated and her lips slightly opened, completely stirring up her mood into a pot of porridge.
When Xu Xian kissed her thin lips and the tip of his tongue opened her teeth, her original mood seemed to become indifferent. She subconsciously stretched out her jade arms and hugged his broad back.
When their lips separated, her jade body was as soft as water.
Xu Xian sat on the bed and let her lean on his chest. In a comfortable position, she whispered gentle and sweet words in his ear over and over again. She just listened quietly. Occasionally, she raised her head and picked out the loopholes in Xu Xian's words, which made Xu Xian roll his eyes. For such a stubborn person, he could only subdue her with iron "means" until she blushed again and bit her lips to listen obediently.
If I really have the qualification to decide your sadness and happiness, then let me try my best to give you all happiness!
"If you listen to this kind of silly words too much, you will definitely become silly."
This was her last comment, but her heart was filled with honey. It turned out that she also liked to listen to this kind of words.
Silly words?
Xu Xian smiled bitterly. These are the words of love that I searched my dry intestines and brain to come up with. Many times, I have to endure the nauseating feeling before I can say it.
"But, I'm already so smart, it's no big deal to become a little silly." She wrinkled her nose, like a playful young girl.
She propped up her body with one hand on Xu Xian's chest. "Okay, tell me, what happened tonight?"
At this time, how could Xu Xian bear to be separated from her for even a moment? The hand that was holding her waist exerted a little force, making her stick close to his body again. He told her in detail what happened tonight, while one hand reached into his clothes to caress her delicate body.
Pan Yu complained slightly, "You … I can't think like this!"
"… Then Zhong Kui returned to Mount Zhongnan." Xu Xian finally finished the story and stopped what he was doing, so that she could think quietly.
Pan Yu held his chin with one hand and pondered with rapt attention. He seemed to have regained his usual demeanor of "Young Master Yu".
After a while, Pan Yu raised her head and looked straight into Xu Xian's eyes, as if trying to find out the secret within.
Xu Xian became nervous. "What's wrong, Mingyu, did you think of something?"
Pan Yu squinted her eyes. "That Zhong Kui, does he have a sister?"
Xu Xian was speechless. "Hey, I want to hear your opinion. Is this your first reaction to this?
Think seriously! "
"Okay, okay, I'll think again."
After a while, a relieved smile appeared on Pan Yu's face, as if he had understood something.
Xu Xian quickly asked, "How is it, Mingyu?"
Pan Yu smiled. "Zhong Kui is so ugly, his sister is nothing to worry about."
What the hell!
"Pa!" With a crisp sound, Xu Xian's big hand landed on Pan Yu's perky buttocks.
Pan Yu was embarrassed. Unlike Yun Yan, she was not used to Xu Xian's "punishment". She struggled in Xu Xian's arms like a mermaid out of water, but she was no match for Xu Xian's strength. She bit down hard on Xu Xian's shoulder, panting. "You really bullied me."
Xu Xian chuckled. "I'll just rub it for you. Hurry up and tell me seriously. You're my brain!" His hands immediately became gentle, with a hint of lasciviousness.
Pan Yu rolled her eyes and let him be. "I didn't expect Wu Yazi to be your master, but he's an expert in the Immortal Dao. It's hard to guess what he's here for, but I don't think he's here just to refine pills. Since you're indebted to him, you can only help him refine the pill. When the time comes, you'll get a share.
If this pill is really that magical, it'll be beneficial to both of us. However, we can't be careless. It's hard to say if he had a plan when he took you in as his disciple. Even if he had a plan, it probably wasn't for you, so you just have to be careful. "
Xu Xian stopped what he was doing. "My master's cultivation is unfathomable. He reminds me of my monk master. But no matter what he's plotting, he's not a despicable person. I'm sure of that.
It's fate that we met, and there are many things I still need to ask him for guidance on.
All these years, I've been fumbling around on my own, and it's been very difficult. Master Fahai may have taught me Buddhist techniques, but my foundation is still the 'Records of the Constellations'.
If he really bestows you with a few golden cores, your cultivation will improve. "
Pan Yu felt her body temperature drop a little. She grabbed Xu Xian's hands and sat on top of Xu Xian. She faced Xu Xian and said, "I can't say for sure, but you did a great job with Zhong Kui."
"A great job?"
Pan Yu placed her hands on Xu Xian's shoulders. "As you said, he's the reincarnation of Kui. He was born with great power.
He seems to be a loyal man. Since he's so grateful to you, why don't you tell him about your goals? He'll definitely be of use to you in the future. If you want to reclaim Hell, he'll be a great asset to you. "
Xu Xian said helplessly, "Hey, why did it suddenly become a conspiracy theory?
I don't want to ask for anything from him with kindness. "
Pan Yu glared at him. "Ha, what conspiracy!
Benevolence to win people's hearts, and ambition to achieve great things. These are the way of the king.
To achieve great things, you need a group of subordinates. Even if you can reclaim the Underworld with your power, can you manage it alone?
You may not be able to save him in the palace, but you don't owe him anything. Now that you've saved his soul and given him the Dao, it's already a great favor. Even an ordinary person would know how to repay a favor. What's there to be embarrassed about? "
"It seems to be very troublesome."
Pan Yu sighed, cupped Xu Xian's cheek, and said, "Cultivation is only about caring for one's body, but the underworld is about helping the world, and it involves countless people and matters. What you'll encounter won't just be trouble, it might even be a painful choice for you.
For example, soldiers often need to use bait and sacrifice thousands of people in exchange for a single victory. Can you give the order to do so? "
Xu Xian hesitated for a moment and reluctantly said, "Since they're soldiers, they should have the awareness of sacrifice. If more people can be saved, I'll give the order."
Pan Yu said again, "What if they're not soldiers, but innocent people?
When the Yellow River floods, one of the ways to control the flood is to dig the river banks in places with fewer people to prevent more fertile fields and people from being drowned. But the innocent people in the places where the river banks are dug will suffer, and the casualties will be in the tens of thousands. Can you make such a decision? "
Xu Xian was speechless. The resentful faces of those innocent people seemed to be in front of him.
Although he wanted to say that he might not necessarily encounter such a choice, he understood that when a person's power was great, he would face such a choice more often.
Even if it was only once, if he did not make a decision, it was possible that his Dao Heart would be lost and he would not be able to advance any further.
A cultivator immersed in regret would not be able to advance.
To achieve a great cause, it was not like what was written in the novels. It was not like to rise to the top and call for subordinates to come to court, then defeat a group of despicable and evil enemies, and unify the world.
The Qin destroyed the six states, and the Han swept the Western Region. How many resentful souls were there?
"What about you?
Mingyu, what will you do? "
Pan Yu said frankly, "Of course I can make such a decision, and maybe I'll be a little more ruthless, like Cao Mengde in your Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me. This is the so-called overbearing way!"
A trace of sorrow appeared on her face. She sighed and said, "Ai, maybe I can't be like that Miss Bai who suits your heart!
I heard from Yun Yan that she is a very kind person. "Although she pretended to be indifferent, her eyes were looking at Xu Xian.
Xu Xian suddenly understood. She was taking the opportunity to express her feelings to him, and also to test his thoughts. Was she worried that she was not kind enough and would be hated by him?
He gently stroked her face and said with pity, "Mingyu is Mingyu!
I said that I have already chosen to love everything about you. Do you still have doubts in your heart?
No matter what, I will not let you down. "A woman was willing to sacrifice her life for you, what else could you ask of her?
Ask her to cater to you, ask her to do everything according to your wishes?
Pan Yu hugged his neck tightly and pressed her face against his cheek. "En, I was thinking too much, but I also hope that you will think clearly. I don't want you to face that kind of choice."
Xu Xian patted her back. "Thank you, Mingyu. I will think about it carefully. Before I have this kind of awareness, I will not do it rashly."
It was rare for him to transmigrate. Compared with those illusory big businesses, the beauty in his arms was more real.
"Now, shouldn't we do something?"
Pan Yu also felt some kind of change in Xu Xian. She twisted her body uneasily and said with a red face, "You go find Yun Yan!" She hadn't succeeded in building her foundation, so she couldn't let him mess around.
Xu Xian said with a fierce face, "Even if Mingyu has an official position, you have to fulfill your duties as a wife. You can't put on airs as a top scorer!"
Pan Yu knew that he was teasing her again. She rolled her eyes at him, bit her lower lip, and slowly slid down from his body.
The bright moon had already set in the west, and the room was dark.
Xu Xian suddenly felt a little thirsty. He put all his plans for hegemony to the back of his mind and was willing to immerse himself in this land of warmth and tenderness, never wanting to come out again.
The red sun rose high in the sky, and the sky was bright, illuminating the two people sleeping together. Xu Xian and Pan Yu woke up from their sleep.
Pan Yu's face was red. Last night's mischief not only failed to subdue the dragon and tame the tiger, but she was also teased by Xu Xian with his hands and mouth.
Xu Xian no longer teased her and let her help him put on his clothes.
Today, all the Jinshi had to go to the Imperial City to meet the Emperor again. They would be conferred official positions according to their ranking, and then there would be a Qionglin Banquet, so they couldn't be careless. Xu Xian agreed to Taiyin Zhenren's matter, so he was not in a hurry to find a way out. He first worked as an editor in Hanlin Academy for a period of time.
