Chapter 483 Xiu Qi and Jiang Wen
"Yes, hot pot." Jiang Wen looked at Xue's expression and was slightly alarmed. His thoughts were spinning and he quickly calmed down.
Answer according to her words, and then pretend to be nonchalant. He didn't know why he could still say the word "hot pot", but just now he almost asked the world to send him away. But the golden light from the statue in his consciousness pulled him back from the rejection.
This is the second time Jiang Wen has seen the statue of a god manifested in his consciousness. There is no movement on weekdays, but I didn't expect it to have such a big effect at critical moments. This also surprised him.
After calming down, Jiang Wen observed Xue's expression casually. He knew that the term hot pot was very special. After all, he was the only one who invented this way of eating in Tai Cang. Hot pot is a dining method that is not widely spread in Taicang. After all, it requires too many ingredients and some expensive spices, such as chili peppers. Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people to eat a few meals, and there is no widespread spread.
Only Jiang Wenhui occasionally held banquets at home and invited Jiang Wenji and others to dinner. Although those days were considered difficult, they were more comfortable and happy.
"Do you like antelope meatloaf?" Snow asked.
"No, I just like to eat large pieces of meat." Jiang Wen said with a smile. Antelope meat rolls are Shennong's favorite food, so what does it have to do with Jiang Wen? He just loves hot pot.
"Why do you like hot pot?" Xue asked again. She stared at Jiang Wen, trying to find some clues from his expression.
It just made her a little disappointed. After many years of experience, Jiang Wen was already as stable as a rock. His expression was natural, and his eyes showed some nostalgia.
"Okay." Snow said. She stood up, her gauze blowing in the night wind, and then she stepped up to the sky out of thin air. "I'll look for you again tomorrow."
Jiang Wen learned the Flying Immortal Step from Li Yunshang, and it was regarded as an escape technique from the Taishen Palace. It's just that he didn't like this too elegant escape technique, so he taught it to Xue. If you practice this flying immortal step to the extreme, you can reach a thousand miles in one step.
"It was taught to me by an old man. He was also the master who taught me the art of talismans. He said that he likes hot pot the most, so he also taught me."
"Ascend to the sky and fly to the immortal step? She has practiced it to perfection. I didn't expect that the lively and alert little girl back then would now become a prince with great power. Things are really unpredictable." Jiang Wen smiled and sat quietly where he was.
She walked towards the moon step by step, and finally disappeared from Jiang Wen's eyes.
The long road can be reached in just one breath, which is considered a superior escape technique. If you just practice this escape technique, it will be impossible to practice other techniques. Jiang Wen felt that the Sky Step was too slow to start and was not as fast as flying with a sword, so he just wrote it down and never practiced it.
"Is it really possible?" Jiang Wen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to see Xue's residence.
He felt a little nostalgic in his heart, after all, the house that Xue lived in for the first time was built bit by bit by him and Xiu Qi. I don’t know what it is like now, but it can’t be any worse than that time.
Listening to Jiang Wen's words, Xue fell into silence. She sat upright and no longer stared as before. He just looked up at the moon in the sky and exhaled a long breath: "It's great. I like hot pot too."
Xue looked at him, hesitated for a while and then nodded: "You can go to my mansion."
Later, Xue said that she wanted to fly to the sky, and Jiang Wen thought of ascending to the sky, and then taught it to her.
"I'll treat you tomorrow." Jiang Wen replied with a smile.
After so many years, look at Xue’s meteoric rise again. Perhaps we have reached the rumored step of thousands of miles, so close to the end of the world.
For so many years, Xue’s practice has never fallen.
At this time, a rich male voice came to his ears: "What are you looking at here?" Jiang Wen turned around and saw that it was Xiu Qi.
He is now wearing a dragon python robe and a collar. He is like a real Taoist king, exuding an overbearing aura. Just standing there is enough to make ordinary people feel in awe.
Walking to Jiang Wen's side, Xiu Qi also looked at where he was looking.
It's the moon in the sky.
"The moon is beautiful, isn't it?" Xiu Qi said lightly.
"Yes, the moon is still so beautiful. Even if it has been thousands of years, it has not changed." Jiang Wen listened to Xiu Qi's words and replied with a smile.
"Well, it's really beautiful. It looked like this when I saw it more than 10,000 years ago, and it's still the same now." Xiu Qi said. "Sometimes I just think, how wonderful it would be if people could live as long as the moon."
"What are you doing living for so long? Being an immortal? Haha, that would be too boring." Jiang Wen laughed hoarsely.
"Being an immortal has its drawbacks. Life is too short, and there are too many things that cannot be accomplished. It passes by in a hurry, and all that is left in the end is regret." Xiu Qi sighed and put his hands behind his back. His posture is tall and straight, like a green pine standing between heaven and earth. He looked melancholy and a little sad. "We are too insignificant after all. In the long river of heaven, earth and time, we are just a drop in the ocean."
When Jiang Wen heard what Xiu Qi said, he became silent in his heart. He thought of what Xiu Qi did in later generations, and Yan Gongli told him about Xiu Qi's many evil deeds.
In order to live longer, Xiu Qi abandoned his humanity. He became greedy, cold-blooded, and ruthless. He could exchange the lives of countless disciples for the possibility of his own immortality. That Xiu Qi was not the person in front of him, and Jiang Wen didn't understand what Xiu Qi had gone through to make him look like that.
Xiu Qi is not a born evil person, Jiang Wen understands in his heart.
"How can life be without regrets? It is only because of regrets that what we experience can be called life." Jiang Wen took out a bottle of wine from his storage bag and handed it to Xiu Qi.
Xiu Qi looked at the wine bottle and was stunned for a moment, a smile appeared on his stiff face. He took the wine bottle and pushed it away, then poured it into his mouth and took a sip.
"not bad."
"Of course, this wine is not simple." Jiang Wen laughed at the words. "But Wulianghou is the Prince of Tianyuan, what regrets can there be? This is Tai Cang, this world. Is it possible that there are still things that you can't get?"
"Yes." Xiu Qi took another sip, then raised the wine bottle towards the moon. "You know? In fact, I have always been afraid of death. I almost died a long time ago, and Master tried his best to save me at that time. I am afraid of death and pain. So I have to become stronger and become Let no one hurt me."
"I thought this was my wish, but then Master passed away suddenly. Master was still so young, only a hundred years old. But he left me when I should have been alive the most. I lay down in front of Master's bed and tried my best He called him and tried to wake up the master from his slumber. The master was such a powerful person that no one in Tai Cang could compare with him. A hundred years took away his life."
"I tried my best and used all my means. But I still couldn't save Master. At that time, I hated myself very much, why I couldn't do anything, why I couldn't save Master. From that moment on, I swore that I would never want to save Master again. Seeing the death of anyone close to me, I want to fight against the years, and fight for my life with the world! Only people can decide their life span, not let the sky manipulate it!"
Xiu Qi's voice was deep, and his eyes were blazing with golden light, revealing his iron will.
He grabbed it towards the moon, and then said solemnly: "I want to be like the moon, looking at it forever."
