——

On the other side, the Tianji Hall is brightly lit.

Leng Zhu put the files that had been sorted into a book for two months on a large desk and left the palace city.

Shangguan Lingye sat back on the desk where he had been there for 80 years, lacking interest and no passion for work.

But the matter was handed over. After Youyou sighed, she carefully checked the case file approved by Jiang Yi.

The palace was very quiet, with only the white cat lying on the desk, shaking the golden bells hanging on Bishan.

I don’t know how long it took, the paperweight on the desk lit up, and a water curtain appeared before my eyes. Situ, who was "strong and savage", was shocked, showed a beard on his face and said:

"Uncle Master, can you see it?"

Shangguan Lingye had a headache, leaned on the back of the chair and said calmly:

"Is there something wrong?"

Situ Shaken stood above a valley - the long canyon was brightly lit and the buildings were uneven, just like the river of lights flowing on the earth, stretching to the horizon, and many monks were walking through it.

Situ Zhenhan raised his hand to signal a towering round building in the center of the Iron River Valley, and said:

"Uncle Master, I just sent the files counted by the Investigation and Investigation Department to my master. I heard the elders of the nine sects quarrel. What are you arguing about?"

The elders of the Nine Sects talk about things that are related to the interests of the immortals, so it is normal to argue with each other.

As the chief officer of the Dayan Demon Warning Department, Shangguan Lingye is also qualified to go over and listen to express his opinions, but just came back today and there was no time to pass. She said:

"Speak quickly if you have something to do."

"Senior Li Chongjin from Yunshui Jiantan accused Qing Kui of Fulongshan and kidnapped his granddaughter; Fulongshan didn't believe it, so he contacted Xu Mo to ask about this matter, and then responded, 'It was your girl who paid for it by herself'. Li Chongjin was furious when he heard this, and the two families started fighting. Qiu Fengqing and my master were fighting in the middle, and the others were fanning the flames... I was afraid of being beaten to death, so I didn't dare to look behind."

Shangguan Lingye blinked:

"What does this have to do with us?"

??

Situ Zhenhan saw that Shangguan Lingye had ‘forgot’ he was a matchmaker who matched him and nodded gently:

"Uncle Master said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. And Yun Zhengyang, in order to keep his secret, he tricked him into Tielu Cave Heaven to find "opportunity". He has been in there for a month. Qi Jia from the shocked terrace has also inquired about the news. I'm afraid it's not good if this continues, right?"

Shangguan Lingye shook his head gently: "Tieling Cave Heaven is the treasure land of my Tiling Mansion. Letting him in is to give Jiang Taiqing a face. He can't find the way, so he can only say that he has not had enough blessings. What's wrong with it?"

Situ opened his mouth and bowed:

"I understand, but the Master's vision is still high. When will the Young Master come here? I can't wait. Yan Yuelin opened a bet below to bet whether Shangguan Jiulong will be present. This is simply a waste of money from the gods."

Shangguan Lingye shook his head and said, "Just bait. Once the iron bet is placed, the outside world will know that Zuo Lingquan will definitely be there, and the odds will change on the spot."

Situ Zhenhan felt that it was the same, and he no longer talked nonsense at the moment. After bowing, the picture on the water curtain disappeared.

The palace became quiet again, leaving only one person and one cat.

Shangguan Lingye picked up the case file again to check it, but his heart couldn't calm down.

After barely completing the recent case files, Shangguan Lingye leaned on the Grand Master's chair, rubbing his eyebrows and silently.

Sitting in the deep palace for eighty years, no matter how firm my heart towards Tao is, it should be shaken.

I used to think that I had to endure the loneliness and suffering that ordinary people could not bear, but now I miss the days when I was exploring the world and making a name for myself on various occasions, and even when I drank and chatted with Zuo Lingquan.

I used to think that "everyone is drunk and I am awake alone", and those things that have nothing to do with practice have no meaning.

But now I think about it, if I give up all these things for the sake of immortality, even if I ask for immortality, would I still have to endure this loneliness that I can't bear for even eighty years...

After thinking about it for a long time, Shangguan Lingye sighed faintly, flashed his body and arrived at the main hall in front of him.

The main hall was also silent, with the carved soft couch behind the bead curtain empty, three incense sticks were burning on the incense table next to it, and a small amount of blue smoke floated across the scroll on the wall.

Shangguan Lingye slowly walked to the incense table, looked at the woman in gold skirt above, and after a long time of silence, he raised his hand and bowed:

"Master. I...I don't want to stay here anymore."

I have said similar words many times.

Shangguan Lingye's tone was very calm and he didn't expect much, because his master hadn't seen her for decades, and when he saw her a few days ago, he couldn't speak.

But what surprised Shangguan Lingye was that the scroll in front of him soon came a response - the portrait of the woman in the golden dress gradually became illusory, presenting a three-dimensional feeling, and then slowly walked out of the scroll and fell before the incense table.

!!

Shangguan Lingye was slightly shocked, and hurriedly leaned over and bowed, and said nervously:

"Meet Master."

The woman in a golden dress slowly landed in front of the incense table, with a tall figure. She looked down at the beautiful women in the palace dress in front of her. They were dressed differently. From the outside, she looked like a rebellious tall girl, and looked down at her decent aunt and aunt.

However, the woman in the golden skirt has a strong aura. Even without any movement, she can still feel the mountain-like oppressive force. It is clear who is the elder.

Shangguan Lingye's temperament was already very majestic, but at this moment he looked like a child who had made a mistake. He looked at the hem of the dragon scale skirt in front of him and dared not look up.

Shangguan Yutang only has a little more intimacy from elders when facing Shangguan Lingye:

"What's up?"

Shangguan Lingye did not look straight into the ancestor's eyes and said seriously:

"I have been serving as a sacrificial priest in the Great Yan Dynasty for 80 years, and have long exceeded the deadline for serving as a sacrificial priest outside. I don't know..."

"When did I make you a worshiper?"

Shangguan Lingye choked and hesitated for a while, and then said:

"Master asked me to be a concubine in the secular world..."

"I thought you would discuss with me when facing your lifelong affairs, but I didn't expect you to come without saying a word."

“…”

Shangguan Lingye opened his mouth. He had many excuses in his heart to blame his master, but he didn't want to say it anymore, and it was meaningless to say it.

She raised her eyes and looked at her master calmly:

"I know my mistake, so I should have some opinion."

Shangguan Yutang nodded slightly: "Since you have figured it out, let's go, have you decided where to go?"

Shangguan Lingye was stunned. Unexpectedly, the ancestor simply agreed, but soon, a confused look appeared in his eyes again.

Where to go...

If the ancestor asked her to leave in the past, she would immediately go overseas to experience it, and crazily improve her cultivation until she took over the burden of the ancestor.

But at this moment, I suddenly realized that just practicing is meaningless, so I wanted to go to Zuo Lingquan to have a drink and celebrate, and then go to the Nine Sects Alliance to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger...

Such a lack of ambition is obviously not easy to talk about.

Shangguan Lingye was silent for a moment and said softly:

"I haven't figured it out yet. Can Master give me some advice?"

Shangguan Yutang sighed secretly and shook his head and said:

"I will eventually escape into the cycle of reincarnation. I can help you with ideas when I am dead. Who should you listen to if I die? Don't put your future in the hands of others. The choices I make may not bring you good results. Only by choosing the path you choose can you go to the end without regrets."

Shangguan Lingye has been alone for so many years, but in fact he has figured out this truth clearly. She nodded gently:

"Then the disciple stayed for a while, and then reported to the master after he thought it through."

"No need to report to me. You are 100 years old, not the little girl back then. When I was 100 years old... well~..."

In the solemn hall, an untimely hum sounded suddenly.

The hall fell into silence.

Shangguan Lingye, who was listening to the ancestor's preaching, looked shocked and she didn't believe it if she beat her to death. The ancestor would make such a spring-like panting sound.

But there are no outsiders in the hall, not the ancestor, and she can't be herself.

Shangguan Lingye instinctively looked up at his master, but saw that his master looked at the top of the palace with a serious and cold expression, as if he had encountered a very powerful demon and monster.

??

Shangguan Lingye's eyes became solemn, and he raised his eyes to look at the dome of the palace and asked:

"Master, what's the voice just now?"

"It's not that you are a teacher, there are strong people in the sky who are spying on it, but that dead woman from the Lord Taohua is making trouble."

"Die Woman?... Didn't the master always call the old demon of Taohua Master?"

"It's so good... You go back to the bedroom first and think about what you said just now. You will meet that old witch when you go up."

After Shangguan Yutang finished speaking, his figure floated up like a golden ghost, slowly floating out of the dome of the hall, disappearing without a trace.

Shangguan Lingye was a little confused and didn't understand how the Taohua Lord could peek here, and could interfere with the master, making the master make such a strange sound.

However, the ancestor's words were the heavenly note, and she asked her to go back to think about the conversation just now. She didn't dare to go to watch the fun. After bowing her hand, her figure disappeared from the spot...
