Jiang Nu returned to heaven on her own, and Yun Zhongjun and Si Lu stayed in the mortal world to face each other.
But facing Si Lu, Yun Zhongjun felt very frustrated——
How could there be people who are so clueless?
For example, when Yun Zhongjun saw Si Lu's serious face, he wanted to flirt with her , but instead of resisting, Si Lu took advantage of him and agreed very calmly. Well, he was also a little happy?
But after a while, he had that cold and paralyzed look on his face again. He didn't take the teasing just now into his heart at all. He was doing whatever he was supposed to do. He kept his distance from Yun Zhongjun intentionally or unintentionally, acting seriously as if he was really just with Yun Zhongjun. Zhongjun has a pure collegial relationship.
Well, actually it is a pure relationship between colleagues.
But what does Si Lu mean?
Either push him away and scold him loudly; or climb up the pole and make the sky thunder and the earth fire. Well, if it really comes to that step, he will definitely refuse to obey. After all, he still sincerely only likes women... But now What's Si Lu's look like, seeming to be leaving, wanting to refuse but then welcoming? flirt?
Hey, not to mention that Yun Zhongjun is really itchy... Bah, he likes women!
Yun Zhongjun was bored at the inn, so he followed Si Lu during the day to follow up on the daily life of the greedy mortal Lu Tong. According to Si Lu, this was to ensure that the report submitted to Emperor Wenchang was accurate.
In fact, this Lu Tong did not commit any serious crime. He just committed some corruption and bribery that are common among ordinary officials. If it is more outrageous, it may be to slander someone who is in vain and to frame a loyal person. This is true in all dynasties in the mortal world. , it stands to reason that the soul of the dead should have been taken directly to the underworld and handed over to Emperor Fengdu for disposal. There was no need for Si Lu Xingjun from the heaven to personally come to the mortal world to deal with it.
But Lu Tong's mistake was to challenge the laws of heaven and openly speak in contempt of heaven——
It is said that last year , due to the constant war in the mortal world, the emperor of the Middle Earth settled in a corner and indulged in extravagance and extravagance. Emperor Wenchang of the heavenly realm petitioned the Jade Emperor for the power of heavenly punishment, and appointed the Dragon King of Qiantang River to cause a flood near the temporary capital of the mortal world. To show warning.
At that time, Lu Tong, who was promoted to prime minister to repay the favor of the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea, was ordered to provide disaster relief. However, he misappropriated the disaster relief funds allocated by the court and lied that the vehicles carrying the funds were robbed by bandits on the way. The official asked the court to allocate funds again, which caused a lot of discussion in the court.
Some honest officials in the court who couldn't stand Lu Tong's behavior stepped forward and asked Lu Tong sternly in the court hall whether he was not afraid of retribution from heaven for his actions. Unexpectedly, Lu Tong laughed loudly in the Jinluan Hall and stroked his beard with disdain:
"How can there be any talk of ghosts and gods in this world? Our Holy One is the True Dragon Emperor, and His Holy One is the reincarnation of heaven. If His Majesty does not think that I deserve retribution, the retribution of reincarnation of heaven will not come to me!"
After a few words, everyone in the general hall was shocked.
In the past, in order to protect the order of the mortal world, the heavenly realm sent immortals to the mortal world repeatedly from the barbaric era to educate mortals. It took thousands of years to create a complete system of ritual and music education, allowing mortals to communicate with the sacred world and abide by the four realms. laws and regulations.
Although the number of mortals who firmly believe in the way of heaven is becoming less and less due to the passage of time and the rare occurrence of miracles, most mortals who are somewhat awe-inspiring still hold an attitude of preferring to believe what they have or not, and never dare to violate the rules.
Now that Lu Tong is arrogant and openly criticizing this fundamental system, isn't it like touching the Jade Emperor's reverse scale? It would be unjust to not handle him properly.
Si Lu took the order from Emperor Wenchang this time to personally deal with this arrogant mortal and let his soul be imprisoned in the worst hell of the underworld forever, as a warning to others.
Yun Zhongjun and Si Lu rode on a cloud together, standing on the top of the cloud and watching the daily life of the mortal Lu Tong.
The mortal Lu Tong covered the sky with his hands and did evil things in the court, but when he was at home , he also loved to drink tea and read, and occasionally wrote a few short poems, which was somewhat elegant.
It stands to reason that all mortals attach great importance to the inheritance of their heirs, but Lu Tong especially dotes on his only daughter Qing He. Even though he has done this as an official, he still only has his poor wife as a companion in the house , and he does not accept her. He has a wife and concubines, but he never plays with the maids on weekdays . This really opened Yun Zhongjun's eyes.
At this time, Lu Tong was seen in the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a bookcase, pen and inkstone, and he was composing poems in the wind. He was so elegant and elegant that he didn't look like a greedy person who had power over the government and ignored human life.
"Qinghe, come on, come sit here with daddy."
, who was tired of groaning, sat down leisurely, called the little girl in the arms of the lady beside him, and held her on his lap with a smile.
The little girl was not afraid of her father, she pulled Lu Tong's long beard and laughed happily.
Lu Tong patted the little girl's hand and smiled without being annoyed.
"Qing He, stop it! It's too inappropriate to pull your father's beard like this . If you marry into your husband's family in the future, your mother-in-law will take care of you!"
Mrs. Lu Tong scolded from the side.
"I don't want to get married. If I want to get married, I need a man to marry in. Dad, are you right?" The little girl flashed a pair of cunning eyes and raised her eyebrows:
"My daughter will serve her father and mother all her life and will never go anywhere!"
"You're such a spoiled girl!" Mrs. Lu Tong was very angry and turned to complain to Lu Tong again:
"It's all you. You have known how to spoil your daughter all day long, and you have spoiled her like this. I asked you to marry several concubines and have more children, but you refused to listen. Now that you have spoiled this only Qinghe like this, you will be in trouble in the future. How is it good to be born?”
Mrs. Lu Tong shed tears as she spoke.
"Madam, please don't mention these words again." Lu Tong advised in a gentle voice, "If I marry someone else, won't Qinghe be wronged? You won't be wronged? We came along this way in the past, and we will continue to live like this all the way in the future. That's good. As long as I'm here, you and Qing He will never suffer any injustice."
Mrs. Lu Tong's tears turned into laughter.
"Lu Tong and his wife are a poor and humble couple. Although they were introduced by a matchmaker, they still seem to be very harmonious now." Si Lu said from the side.
"It's rare to be so rich and wealthy and still retain your original intention." Yun Zhongjun said thoughtfully.
"What book have you read recently? Can you memorize it for daddy?" Lu Tong asked Qing He on his lap softly.
"I just learned poetry from my master and read an article called "Tao Yao". My daughter liked it very much." The little girl replied seriously.
" When the peach blooms , its flowers are shining brightly. When the son returns, he will be suitable for his family..." Lu Tong chanted , and then said with a smile:
"What, my baby Qinghe wants to get married?"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Lu Tong and all the maids and servants waiting beside her laughed.
"Dad, what are you talking about? I'm ignoring you-" The little girl hit Lu Tong on the shoulder and turned her head angrily.
Lu Tong laughed loudly, and the courtyard was filled with the warmth and sweetness of spring flowers.
Yun Zhongjun was lying on the head of the cloud, looking at the mortal Lu Tong who was patiently teaching his daughter Qing He how to practice calligraphy. His wife, who had faded appearance , was holding an inkstone by the side, and she couldn't help but wonder:
"It is said that ordinary people are cold-blooded and cold-hearted. In the past, Sima Xiangru betrayed Zhuo Wenjun, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty failed Chen Ajiao, and recently there was the incident of Xu Xianjiang's daughter. But today, I see that the heinous and greedy Prime Minister Lu Tong has some real character. How can you treat your wife and daughter so well?"
Si Lu stood aside and looked at him seriously:
"Do you think all mortals are heartless and unjust people?"
Yun Zhongjun turned over and lay on the clouds to look at Si Lu, who stood tall and tall:
"That's not quite true. Look, doesn't Xu Xian, who betrayed Jiang Nu, remember Jiang Nu for all his life? In fact, no matter mortals or immortals, all sentient beings in the four worlds are ignorant, going round and round without knowing what to say. Just like this mortal Lu Tong, he is very dear to his wife and daughter here in this life , but how can he know that they will not know each other in the next life?
"But, if I can be an immortal couple like Si Lu Xingjun , then I will be willing to be tied up for the rest of my life." Yun Zhongjun looked at Si Lu's increasingly serious face and suddenly changed his smile. Inspiring.
Si Lu looked at Lingjun deeply and said nothing:
"Lu Tong is hateful, but he is sincere to his wife and daughter. He is destined to have this fate in life, and he can give his all to the people in his heart. He won't feel any regret if he thinks about it."
Yun Zhongjun raised his lips and smiled: "Xiao Zhengze, it sounds like you are very experienced?"
Si Lu glanced at him and stopped talking.
"Eh? Xiao Zhengze, look at the direction of the imperial city, why is there a faint evil spirit floating around?"
Yun Zhongjun pointed to a place in the lower realm and asked Si Lu.
Si Lu came back from his thoughts, looked in the direction he pointed, and frowned:
"After dealing with this Lu Tong, we still need to go to the palace for a walk."
After watching Lu Tong, Yun Zhongjun and Si Lu got up and went back. Ayan, who was staying at the inn, was fast asleep on Yun Zhongjun's bed.
Yun Zhongjun stepped into the house, and Si Lu also followed.
"I'll go to the Dragon King of the East China Sea to discuss Lu Tong. You stay at the inn and wait for me." Si Lu said .
Yun Zhongjun felt that it was boring for him to stay here alone with Ayan, so he suggested that he and Si Lu go to the East China Sea for a walk.
Si Lu showed that weird look again:
"You...don't go."
"Why?" Yun Zhongjun asked curiously.
"The Dragon King doesn't like strangers."
"Then you are an acquaintance of the Dragon King?" Yun Zhongjun felt that Si Lu's reason was far-fetched.
Si Lu looked at Yun Zhongjun and said nothing.
When Yun Zhongjun stood in front of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, he couldn't help but sigh, this East China Sea Dragon King really deserves to be the younger brother of the current Jade Emperor——
Such fine glazed tiles are even covered with pavilions at the entrance for pedestrians to rest;
Such a big luminous pearl was casually hung in front of the palace gate to make a lantern;
Such fine silk and satin, even the maids and slaves who sweep the floor and sprinkle water are dressed elegantly...
In short, the Dragon King of the East China Sea only has this requirement for the decoration style of his home - "The identity of the royal family and nobles must be highlighted, and the inner wealth and wealth must be highlighted."
Yun Zhongjun was just sighing at the splendor of the Dragon Palace, when a sudden surprise call rang in his ears:
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?!"
Yun Zhongjun looked around, pointed at himself again, and asked the little palace maid in front of him who was staring at him closely and was so surprised that he almost shed tears:"Are you calling for an immortal?"After hearing what Yun Zhongjun said, the little maid's expression of surprise immediately turned lonely again, and she hurriedly lowered her head and said:"Back to the Immortal, this slave admitted the wrong person, and I hope that the Immortal will forgive me."Yun Zhongjun was noncommittal, and Si Lu's eyes suddenly deepened."This little palace maid is interesting. The prince of my family is still lying in the palace. He came here to call the prince. Little Zhengze, do you think I look like the prince of Donghai?" Yun Zhongjun laughed.Si Lu looked at him with an increasingly weird expression:"You...don't you think this place is familiar?""It's familiar - I have to look at this Dragon Palace from afar every t
When Little Marshmallow held Yun Zhongjun's hand and came to the banquet hall one by one, Si Lu, who was still paralyzed, pressed his hands on Ayan, who was grinning and resisting, and saw that Yun Zhongjun's expression had never been so weird.When he saw the little marshmallow next to him clearly, a hint of excitement appeared in Si Lu's cold eyes."Little guy, come here."Si Lu knelt down, waved his hand and called to Little Marshmallow , with a smile on his face.Yun Zhongjun rubbed his eyes and saw that he was right, Si Lu was smiling with a paralyzed face!If the icy Si Lu before was like wax snow and red plum blossoms, cold and handsome and could not be looked directly at, then the smiling Si Lu now is the first ray of sunshine that falls on the earth after the first snowfall .There is no reason. In the future, Yun Zhongjun wants to see Si Lu smile like this more.Speaking of the future... Yun Zhongjun looked at the big and sm
Now Lingjun and his family of three were sitting in a private room in the restaurant, staring at each other. Next to him, there was a strong and solemn guard holding a sword."Uh... Well, Zigui, why don't you sit down and have dinner with us?"Lingjun panicked and invited.Zigui shook his head and said honestly, "I'll keep watch, so you can eat in peace."Lingjun looked at the man behind him with a sullen face, who looked alert as if monsters and ghosts might attack at any time, and sighed inwardly: With you guarding like this, I, the master, cannot eat in peace.Eating is not fun; talking is not enjoyable. Lingjun and the maids and guards serving him in Fengyu Palace have always been used to flirting, and no one treats each other as a master or servant. Now he meets Zigui, a guard of the Dragon Palace who draws his sword and shouts "Master, leave quickly" at the slightest sign of trouble, and always talks about the 100 rules of loyal servants. H
"Put me down." Zheng Ze lay on Ling Jun's back, gritting his teeth."Don't let go." Lingjun tightened his hands around his thighs.Well, my wife’s hand feels really good.People coming and going all over the street paid attention to Lingjun and the two. Lin'er was running and jumping not far ahead, with Zigui carefully accompanying him .The street lights gradually turned on, and a group of people's long figures appeared on the stone road. The fragrance of food from every house wafted out and lingered in the nose."Xiao Zhengze." In the dim light, Ling Jun suddenly softened his voice."Huh?" Zhengze's voice came from behind."Can we, a family of three, never be separated, okay?" Ling Jun asked cautiously.Lingjun hoped that Zhengze could reply to him with a "hello", even a simple "hmm", but he didn't. He just remained silent for a long time, and said word by word in a cold tone that Lingjun could not hear the emotion:"Yun
"Who are you? What's wrong with me?"The dead soul of Lu Tong, glowing with a cold gray light, was staring blankly in front of Ling Jun and Zhengze, asking questions in a daze."I am Zhengze, Sir Lu Xingjun, the subordinate of Emperor Wenchang. Lu Tong, you have died from the punishment of being struck by thunder from the sky . " Zhengze said solemnly.Lu Tong was shocked."I am Yunzhongjun, who controls the wind and clouds in the heaven." Ling Jun raised his hand excitedly beside Zhengze .Zhengze glanced at Lingjun and continued to talk to Lu Tong: "Lu Tong, you are greedy for power and wealth, and bring harm to the people. Your crime cannot be punished. Heavenly Court specially sent me to arrest you.""Is there really...a heavenly...god?" Lu Tong's eyes widened in shock."Lu Tong, do you still remember that you released a little golden carp on the East China Sea ten years ago?" Zhengze asked leisurely."Ten years ago..." Lu T
Lingjun and Zhengze hurried back to the inn, and Lin'er was burning all over."What's going on?" Lingjun asked Zigui as he probed Lin'er 's forehead, which was as hot as a stove."This subordinate deserves to die. He failed to take care of the little emperor grandson well. He is not in the Dragon Palace right now, and the little emperor grandson has a royal body. I don't know who to turn to for treatment?" Zigui cupped his fists to apologize.Lingjun stopped staying and teleported to the entrance of the East China Sea Overpass. After showing the customs clearance document , he returned to the heaven in a hurry and immediately tied up Ge Xianweng, who was still talking to Taiyi Tianzun, and brought him down to earth ."Oh, Lord Yun Zhongjun, please slow down, slow down..."Ge Xianweng was howling all the way and was dragged into Xifu Inn by Lingjun. As soon as he saw Lin'er lying on the bed and Zhengze guarding beside the bed, the bright light of
Thinking about the strange evil spirit that appeared in the palace recently, Lingjun sent his son back to the palace to monitor it secretly. If there was any abnormality, he would report it quickly.Lingjun and Zhengze stayed in the inn to take good care of Lin'er , and Ge Xianweng also temporarily stayed in Xifu Inn to prevent Lin'er's condition from changing.Unexpectedly, Lin'er 's illness came and went quickly. Within two days after waking up, he was jumping up and down in the inn again.Ge Xianweng watched Lin'er playing with Ayan from the side, stroking his shaky long beard and nodding repeatedly:"Tsk, tsk, tsk , you are worthy of being a member of the Golden Dragon clan . The royal bloodline is forbidden..."Why does Lingjun sound so awkward when he says this?Hearing the sound of firecrackers coming from the street, Lin'er couldn't sit still. When he found out that today was a temple fair in the world, he asked Lingjun and Zhengze
Lingjun was leaning on the edge of the boat, vomiting to the lake and making him fall over:"Ugh - I must not be - vomit - the Prince of the East China Sea - vomit - how can a person who has been soaked in sea water still be seasick - vomit vomit -""Your old habits haven't changed yet." Zhengze patted Lingjun on the back and handed him some water.Ayan's kitten paws were scratching Lingjun's legs, and he kept staring at Lingjun with worry in his eyes."Huh? Did I get seasick before? Uh-oh, Xiao Zhengze, you still said you don't know me, but you obviously know that, uh-" Lingjun tried his best to force out a romantic smile and reached out to touch Ayan.Zhengze stiffened his face and said after a moment: "Let's go back.""No, no, no, I must meet this lady Miaoyin, she must be good-looking... ugh -" Ling Jun shook his head stubbornly, feeling dizzy, his stomach churning, and he spoke his mind without paying attention."Pa—" He received
