After dinner, it was already evening. During the dinner, Yunjing fully realized how much he was treated like a son-in-law. After the meal, Su Orion was drunk. The wine tribute from the Dragon Kingdom royal family was not strong, but the stamina was very strong. Su Orion couldn't bear to part with it.
This precious wine did not eliminate the smell of alcohol, so I felt dizzy and went to rest. When I was drunk, I was reluctant to put down the wine jar, saying that I could taste it by mixing it with other wine.
Yunjing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It's not like this thing will disappear after drinking it. He promised to send some more in a few days.
It was getting late, Yunjing did not stay overnight and said goodbye. Su Xiaoye sent him to the entrance of the village.
"Brother Jing, come and play with me when you have time," Su Xiaoye said reluctantly under the sunset.
There was no one around, so Yunjing pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "What are you looking for to play with?"
"Bad guy, I'm ignoring you." Thinking of what happened at noon, Su Xiaoye turned red and covered her face with shame, then turned around and ran away. However, after running out for two steps, she turned back, stood on tiptoes, kissed Yun Jing, and then ran away.
, waved his hand and said: "Brother Jing can play whatever he wants."
Looking at her leaving figure, Yun Jing looked away and secretly thought that Xiao Zizi was becoming more and more bold. Having such a daughter-in-law who was not stingy with benefits, tsk...
He took one step and disappeared silently. When he first set foot in the mythical realm, he was on the way back from Su Xiaoye's house. Now the landscape remains the same and the people are no different.
A moment later, Yun Jing's figure appeared in Niujiao Town. It was early or not. Originally, he wanted to meet Wang Bolin and the others, but he found that none of his brothers were in the town. There was no one around for thousands of miles, and he didn't know.
Where did he go?
It has to be said that in this era, people at the top can be found all over the world, but people at the bottom cannot be found unless they say hello in advance.
I heard Bai Zhi sigh with emotion: "This race of Xushu is so pitiful."
After passing the small shop opened by Bai Zhi, it closed early. Yunjing still wanted to go home with her, so he had to go by himself.
Arriving not far from the capital, Yun Jing glanced around and saw that the construction of the Domain Gate had indeed begun. However, they were only doing preliminary work to level the hills. Cui Mu naturally did not need to do this kind of thing. Dali
Dozens of true artistic conceptions were used here, the sword energy and the light of the sword flashed, cutting the mountains into pieces, while Cui Mu was setting up the formation to cover up the real layout of the domain gate. The construction of the domain gate had not started yet, so it was kept secret.
The methods started in advance.
Yunjing just shields its own existence from unfamiliar people. Familiar people are not included in this list. Niujiao Town is so big that you can't see it when you look up.
The two of them stayed in the yard for a short while, then Bai Zhi changed her clothes and went to work in the store. Her life was not only romantic and sweet, but also had trivial events year after year.
Pushing the door open, Bai Zhi came out of the kitchen immediately after hearing the commotion. She put on an apron. When she saw Yun Jing, she showed a bright smile. She quickly walked up to Yun Jing and helped him tidy up his clothes and said softly.
: "The official is back. You must be tired. I am cooking. Please take a rest first. The tea is still warm. The food will be ready soon."
Dali has seen the world from a small place at once. The span is too big. Many things have to be crossed by feeling for the stones. Fortunately, the cloud scenery can calm people's hearts, but they will not be at a loss in all aspects.
"That's okay, you can go to the capital with me and tell me. When the domain gate is built, I will take you to the Dragon Kingdom to have a look." Yun Dingding nodded.
Early the next morning, Yunjing was stretching his muscles in the yard, and the pretty Bai Zhi was busy with her hands and feet. After breakfast, the two of them packed up and returned to Xiaoxi Village together, distributing the gifts brought back from the Dragon Kingdom to
family.
Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment and shook her head and said: "I won't bother the officials anymore. It's the end of the year and there are many customers in the store, so I have to keep an eye on it. Anyway, it's easy for officials to come and go. It's the same everywhere."
The two of them walked to the hut hand in hand. She smiled and said: "It's not troublesome. There are a few home-cooked dishes that the official likes to eat. When I come back in the afternoon and see the things in the house, I will know that the official is back."
"Just keep it simple, don't bother me so much," Yunjing said, squeezing her little hand.
Yunjing didn't insist, but said: "Uncle Ding, if you have anything to do, go ahead. Don't worry about me. I'll go on my own."
At this point, both of them were silent. After a while, Huang Changyang changed the subject and said: "By the way, Xiaojing, there are some things you still need to understand. After recent discussions at the court, the things you mentioned that day have generally been agreed upon. I
I know you have no intention of getting involved in this. To be honest, I don’t want to be an idle cloud and wild crane, but now everything is waiting for things to be done, and the country and people behind us need us, so we can only spend more time."
After reading the contents of the letter, there was nothing important. It was just that the imperial court informed Yunjing in the name of Mr. Huang that the location for the construction of the domain gate had been finalized. As expected by Yunjing, it was exactly where he met Mr. Huang and the others that day.
place.
"It's all thanks to the young master," Ding Wei said with some emotion. Once Yunjing became a disciple of Li Qiu, they knew that Yunjing would achieve something in the future. However, Yunjing's current achievements were beyond their wildest dreams.
"Yeah, so just pretend it doesn't exist," Yun Dingding nodded.
Yun Jing smiled and said: "Uncle Ding, you don't have to be like this. In my heart, you have always been the elders. Don't say anything when you meet me."
But as she spoke, she became a little confused and looked around: "Gone? Official, I'm not lying to you. There was really a mouse just now, a small blue ball, and it looked so cute and plump."
"What's going on there? They are all people who follow the trend. They are too enthusiastic and often can't shirk the blame. Well, Brother Liu is on duty at the house today, so I can't refuse their invitation." Ding Wei said awkwardly
.
Without saying hello, Yunjing went straight into the city, thinking that he would have to pay attention from now on until the construction of the domain gate was completed. After all, it was difficult to say that any of Cui Mu's actions was part of the construction of the domain gate. Fortunately, Yunjing did not need to get close.
Just observe from a distance and pay attention from a distance.
What Yun Jing did after going to the Dragon Kingdom was not a secret. Although he didn't take the initiative to show off anything, he didn't hide anything either. Da Li now knew everything about it. With him around, Da Li felt as if he had been eaten.
Reassurance!
When she returned to the small courtyard, Bai Zhi opened the door and asked, "What are the plans for the officials?"
At the beginning, Yun Jingmo Laifu transformed and realized the ability to move freely in different sizes. As for the ability of the virtual rat to travel through the void, Yun Jing had some experience after seeing it a lot. However, in the end, he was not able to intuitively understand it, so the gains were limited, and the distance was far from it.
There is still a long way to go before you can learn the ability to travel through the void.
Huang Changyang smiled and asked Yunjing to sit down, and said: "You must have received my letter, I thought you would come in the next two days, and then, not to mention the interest, you have to keep an eye on the construction site once you come,
Furthermore, I am not afraid of your jokes, Xiaojing. I am also very curious about the ways of formations, especially the various methods of the Dragon Kingdom. I want to learn something by watching them."
Smiling, Yunjing said: "It's okay. After all these years, Uncle Ding, you should enjoy yourself."
Now there are mice in the house? This is simply unreasonable!
She said, in fact, everything got better because of the officials. They lived a peaceful life, away from fighting and killing, and people were happy. It was a great life like this.
Yunjing felt that he could do it. With his physique, he was not bragging. Even if the fields were destroyed, the cow would not die from exhaustion.
After hearing this, Yunjing pondered for a moment, looked at the construction site and said with emotion: "Huang Lao's words are serious, how can this junior laugh at me? In fact, to tell you the truth, when this junior arrived in Long Kingdom, he faced the Dragon Kingdom's
In fact, I feel inferior in many things. After all, our region is still too backward in comparison."
More than ten years have passed, with the improvement of cultivation, Ding Wei not only does not look older, but looks younger and younger. Once Yunjing became a disciple of Li Qiu, he followed him. On the road from Niujiao Town to Xiaoxi Village, he and Liu Dazhuang estimated that
More familiar than home.
"Yes, in the past, our sight was only so big, like the frog at the bottom of the well," Huang Changyang said with empathy.
Bai Zhi knew about the closeness between clouds and animals, and it was precisely because she knew that she was silent.
But Yunjing doesn't force it, let it take its own course. It's good to learn it, but there's nothing to lose if you can't learn it. He's not like some people, who obviously don't own something, but if they don't get it, it's like losing money.
It’s hard to say that I have to be a villain for a while again...
Ding Wei came out of a restaurant. The restaurant was obviously newly opened and large in scale. It was unique in Niujiao Town and was considered high-end in a place like the state capital.
Today's Niujiao Town can be described as a mixed bag of good and bad, but the public security is surprisingly good. It is not an exaggeration to not pick up leftovers on the road or close the door at night. In short, no one dares to mess around in Yunjing's hometown.
The two of them bathed one after another, and Yunjing asked Bai Zhi to put on the clothes he brought back from the Dragon Kingdom. She was naturally beautiful, and the color of the clothes from Tianyi Pavilion was even better, especially when she took the initiative to rummage through the cabinets to find them and put them on.
I wore stockings that were as thin as cicadas, no different from high-end stockings.
After entering the house, Bai Zhi didn't care about what she brought back, but nodded to show that she understood, and asked Yunjing to sit down and rest first, while she continued to work in the kitchen.
"Well, by the way, young master, there was an urgent letter sent to you from the capital two days ago, but Butler Song has been unable to find you," Ding Wei stopped and reminded.
Even if he has a more convenient thing like a map of rivers and mountains in his hand, this thing is more difficult than mastering the means of domain gate. If he masters the means of building domain gates, currently, the map of rivers and mountains will have less effect on Yunjing, and it will be the same 'threat'
It's even smaller.
It was already dark when we returned to the small courtyard in the suburbs. The door was ajar, and two lanterns were hung above the door to guide Yunjing in the direction of home.
With nothing going on, Yunjing left for the capital. When he left, he waved to me as a greeting. Well, after Bai Zhi went to town, Xushu appeared not far from Yunjing again.
In a tall teahouse, Mr. Huang Changyang sat in a private room by the window. His sight was unobstructed and he could see the construction site hundreds of miles away. Of course, seeing the situation over there from such a distance was just a matter of time.
Huang Changyang and others are at this level.
Cui Mu must have taken confidentiality measures when building the domain gate. He was not completely sure whether he could observe the cloud scenery. It was probably 90% at most. He didn't force it. Give him some time and he could figure it out.
Bai Zhi immediately blushed and turned away to work. As an old couple, you can understand with just one look.
After spending half a day in Xiaoxi Village, the two returned to the town again at noon.
"Greetings to the young master," Ding Wei saluted immediately when he came to Yunjing's side.
Ding Wei came out of the restaurant and was surrounded by a large group of people, including those who were studying, those who were officials, and those who would later cultivate their true artistic conception. All of them were considered respectable, but Ding Wei was the central figure in that group of people.
Putting the letter away, Yunjing was secretly thinking about the domain gate. Ever since he went to Long Kingdom for the first time to contact him, he had been wondering whether he could arrange it himself. Especially after getting the map of the country, he has now thought about it seven times.
It's pretty good, but it's still a little far away from being actually laid out, and a few key elements are missing.
Yun Jing smiled and said, "That's fine."
Ding Wei didn't feel distracted when someone held him in his arms. He knew the purpose of the people around him. Although he had drunk a lot of wine at first glance, he kept a good distance between his words and deeds.
There is no way, Ding Wei is the bodyguard of Yunjing's family, and he is also the personal bodyguard who has protected Yunjing since he was a child. With Yunjing's achievements, his status has also risen. No one dares to look down on him wherever he goes.
Chickens and dogs ascending to heaven are nothing more than this.
Yunjing waved his hand to show that he understood, and immediately said hello to Song Yan who had returned from the distance, and took the letter in his hand.
These things seemed too boring to talk about too much. Yunjing was minding his own business: "Uncle Ding, go ahead. You really don't have to worry about me."
"The construction of the Domain Gate is a core technology for the Dragon Kingdom. On the surface, people outside the Dragon Kingdom are not allowed to master it. This time Cui Mu also had a word in advance when building the Domain Gate. No one was allowed to watch. He also arranged the formation in advance.
There is no way to cover that area until the layout is completed and handed over.”
They don’t have to worry about it so much. It’s the end of the year and they always have to go home. They agreed when they were young that no matter what happens in the future, they will get together every year. After all, when you grow up, you will get together less and stay away more. You will get together less often.
, until one day the familiar people left one by one and could no longer be seen...
Seeing her looking around in surprise, wanting to dig three feet into the ground, Yun Jing said with a smile: "There was indeed a mouse before. Come on, Xiaobai, stop looking for it. It has already run away. That little mouse is very timid.
"
We live under the same sky, but the gap is vastly different. When I jump out of the well and see the vast world, the feeling in my heart cannot be expressed in words. I can only adapt, accept and find ways to grow little by little.
When Yunjing said this, Bai Zhi immediately stopped worrying, but she still wondered: "Why is there such a strange mouse in the house?"
As long as he doesn't do anything harmful to nature, Yunjing's code of conduct is still very flexible. After mastering the construction of the domain gate, he can arrange it by himself in the future, and it will be convenient to go anywhere. Although this method is shady, Long Guo has really done this.
Is it a total blockade of means? It’s just a tacit understanding.
She said that with the passing of the drought and recuperation, people's lives have returned to the past, and store business has also improved. Many strangers have come to the town, but everyone has a good temper.
There are almost no visitors, but there are people from the world, and some scholars, and most of them are scholars. They seem to regard Niujiao Town as a place of special significance in their minds, and have a kind of pilgrimage mentality.
"Huang Lao is in a good mood." Out of politeness, Yunjing did not go directly to the private room, but opened the door from the outside and entered the ceremony hall.
However, it has never appeared in front of people. It only appears when Yunjing is alone. Anyone within a thousand meters will run away immediately without knowing where to go.
"Master, the rules are the rules," Ding Wei said seriously immediately.
She was not afraid, but she was extremely surprised, because this kind of thing had never happened before. There were not even any mice or bugs in the house. Just her own cultivation and a little bit of breath were enough to make her
Snakes, rats, insects and ants with a radius of 100 meters can run as far as they want.
The two pushed the door open and entered the small courtyard. The first time they stepped into the small courtyard, Bai Zhi suddenly made a noise and said: "Master, there is a mouse in our house!"
Wandering on the street, Yunjing didn't want to be watched. He had no choice but to do so. With his current achievements, he was the center of attention wherever he went in his hometown. Therefore, with his deliberate actions, no one noticed him even if he passed by.
.
From the beginning to the end, Yunjing had no intention of harming Xushu and regarded it as a different kind of friend.
Yunjing didn't deliberately restrain his aura when he came here, so it wasn't surprising that he said something different to him, so he nodded and went directly over there.
During the meal, Bai Zhi served Yunjing with vegetables and rice. She was very considerate. She did not take the initiative to ask Yunjing about her outing experience, but only talked about some trivial things in life.
The location has been confirmed, and construction will begin next. However, it will not take a day or two to complete the construction. It will take at least next year. Once the domain gate is built, Dali will truly establish communication channels with the Dragon Kingdom.
Looking around the world, all kinds of things will happen one after another.
The night was as cold as water, and the cat meowed for half the night...
"Well, I know, I just came back not long ago," Yunjing said with some embarrassment, thinking that it was too much for the two of them to take care of at the same time. No matter how much they did, they would be really busy, and he would never provoke any woman in the future.
It's a child.
Looking at Bai Zhi's questioning face and facing Yun Jing's gaze, her cheeks gradually turned red.
He saw the cloud scene at a glance, and he woke up from the alcohol in an instant. It seemed that their group was going to have another party, but Dingwei said a few words to the people and left alone. Not only were the people not disappointed, but they were still happy
Seeing off with a smile.
Bai Zhi nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will never talk nonsense. What a weird rat, you are really strange. You are so timid that even the officials don't dare to approach."
"Those things were brought back from the Dragon Kingdom, and some of them were brought for you," Yun Jing said with a smile.
As soon as he set foot in the capital area, Huang Changyang's voice rang in Yunjing's ears.
"That is not an ordinary mouse, but a strange beast, the Void Rat. The special thing is that it is ranked within 100 of the time strange beasts. It should have followed me from the Dragon Kingdom, but it is too timid, even if it is me
It doesn't dare to touch it, let alone other people. Regarding this mouse, Xiaobai, just know it yourself. Don't tell others. Once its whereabouts are exposed, it is not a good thing for someone to know. Let's put it this way, in the world
No one wants to catch it!" Yun Jing explained a little.
Yunjing naturally knew about Xushu following him, and he was obviously attached to him, although he still did not dare to have real contact with Yunjing.
Bai Zhi didn't say anything anymore, but she was extremely happy in her heart. The concubines of other families were just like goods, they could come and go as soon as they were called. However, as an official of his own, although their statuses were different, in fact, everyone had the same weight in his heart.
Pretty much the same, what a blessing.
Bai Zhi said softly: "Listen to Guanren. By the way, Guanren, sister Xingyu misses you too. Guanren should spend more time with her. Don't worry about me. We are all a family and live in harmony. Guanren
No need to be embarrassed”
After cleaning up the dishes after the meal, Bai Zhi thought for a moment and then pursed her lips and said, "The hot water is ready. Do you want to take a bath?"
For Bai Zhi, no matter how precious things are, they are not as good as Yunjing. As long as they are together, even bran-fed vegetables are delicious to her.
"Xiao Jing is here? How about you come and sit with me here?"
With this thought in his mind, Yunjing felt that this was also an opportunity for him. After observing it at close range, and with the accumulation of his previous thinking, he should be able to master the layout of the domain gate by himself.
"I don't have any plans, but I plan to go to the capital. I'll put most of my energy there in the next period of time. I told you that the Dragon Kingdom sent people to build the domain gate. I plan to take a look and observe.
Can we learn the ropes, Xiaobai, do you want to join us?" Yunjing thought for a while, and there was nothing he couldn't say to her.
"Guanren smells like Sister Xiaoye. I think I went to see Sister Xiaoye earlier. Well, Guanren's eyes are like a sage. I think... let's make another nourishing dish," Bai Zhi said in her mind as she went to the kitchen.
, and Yunjing have been together for these years, and we are very familiar with each other. Girls’ insights are often extremely terrifying!
There is a saying that since the appearance of the Void Rat, although there has been no direct contact, Yun Jing has watched it travel through the void and disappear so many times, and it has gained more or less, just like when he observed Laifu's transformation.
"Although the virtual mouse is only so big, it has a huge space in its body that can store things. However, it has the ability to travel through space at will, and it is extremely difficult to capture. In order to get it to store things, it will prevent it from being caught.
It escapes, so if it catches a virtual rat, it will usually be killed. As a result, this race becomes timid and has a life instinct." Yunjing introduced her to the virtual rat.
Their achievements did not come out of thin air, but they stood on the shoulders of their predecessors. Standing at such a height and receiving favors from their predecessors, it was naturally time to pay.
Huang Changyang continued: "After discussion with the imperial court, it has been tentatively decided that I will lead the delegation to the Dragon Kingdom. You said that day that if there is no mythical realm there, you will not even have the confidence to speak."
Hearing this, Yunjing felt uncomfortable and saluted, "Senior, at such an age, he still has to work hard for the country..."
"Haha, Xiao Jing, please don't say that. I'm not too old to walk yet. With the Ren Yuan Guo you asked Old Deng to send me, I still have at least a hundred years of good life. Besides, go to Long
Mr. Guo doesn’t think that he is working hard, but rather that he is going to see the world." Huang Changyang interrupted Yun Jing and said with a smile.
The more he talks about Yun Jing like this, the more unpleasant it becomes...
