Chapter 15 New Home, New People
There is a poem that says: "In the cold spring, I was granted a bath in Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water washed my fat. The maid helped me up, weak and helpless, and it was the beginning of the new grace."
It is talking about the relationship between men and women.
However, this kind of experience does not belong to Qi Xuansu.
What is weak and helpless, what is the grace, that is not Zhang Yuelu's style.
Just like lifting Zhang Yuelu's chin and saying "You are my woman" is not Qi Xuansu's style.
Qi Xuansu can't imagine what Zhang Yuelu looks like when she bites her lips lightly, is shy and timid, and passively bears it - when she first arrived at the bridal chamber, Zhang Yuelu was indeed a little shy, but far from shy, and she quickly adjusted herself, instead showing a resolute look.
Zhang Yuelu is a warrior.
At this moment, Qi Xuansu is her opponent.
Qi Xuansu also has no regrets. As Zhang Yuelu said, why don't you marry a tender girl? It's because you like warriors.
Qi Xuansu certainly doesn't like tender girls.
Everything has a benefit and a disadvantage.
You can't expect a woman to be both a strong arm and a gentle and weak character. You can't have it both ways.
With Qi Xuansu's current status, it is certainly not difficult to build a so-called "harem", but he is not interested in it.
He doesn't want to prove himself by suppressing any woman, nor does he want to indulge his desires. He wants to trample the world under his feet.
To sleep with a woman, you just need to be a man. There are thousands of men in the world. One more is not too many, one less is not too few.
But to be at the top of the world, it belongs to only one person.
Maybe some people say that different women have different styles, different charms, and different feelings.
But Qi Xuansu feels that if it comes to excitement, what can compare to this world?
So he needs a partner and confidant like Zhang Yuelu, not a simple woman.
Speaking of which, ambition has its own advantages.
When Qi Xuansu first met Zhang Yuelu, he was afraid and nervous, more out of concern for his identity in the Qingping Society, but he never belittled himself.
So Qi Xuansu could just laugh it off in the face of the contempt and verbal attacks from Tan Taiqiong, Zhang Yuyue and others.
To this day, he still doesn't bear grudges. Because these actions didn't hurt him, didn't hit his pain points. To put it bluntly, what is this, and is it worthy of my hatred?
As for the fate of touching Qi Xuansu's pain points, just look at Zhou Mengyao.
Qi Xuansu is reluctant to give his feelings, but once he has given, if he deceives Qi Xuansu's true feelings, there will be no mercy at all.
I still remember that Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu made an agreement that whoever dared to betray would be killed by the other party. When Qi Xuansu made the oath, he was absolutely sincere. If he was sorry for Zhang Yuelu, he would admit it if Zhang Yuelu killed him. If Zhang Yuelu was sorry for him, he would kill Zhang Yuelu with his own hands, and he would not be soft-hearted.
Love wants him to live, hate wants him to die.
Qi Xuansu's lack of emotions in his youth led to his extremes, which most people really couldn't stand. Looking at the people who are truly recognized by Qi Xuansu, including Zhou Mengyao, Qi Niang, Xiao Yin, and Zhang Yuelu, they are not ordinary people.
As the "Eternal Su Nu Sutra" runs a complete cycle, the two finally come to an end.
After the curtain fell, the two lay side by side.
Qi Xuansu behaved relatively calmly. After all, he was a man in his thirties, experienced a lot of things, and had a martial arts body and spirit, and could even accurately control every detail. Even if it was the first time in his life, he would not be as excited as a teenager.
Qi Xuansu didn't understand why Li Minghuang cared so much about this low-level desire that could be completely controlled. However, considering that Li Minghuang especially liked other people's wives, perhaps Li Minghuang was pursuing a kind of psychological pleasure rather than pure physical desire.
Zhang Yuelu didn't feel sad at this time, and she didn't hint at "I will be yours in the future" and "You are responsible". It's her own life, her own choice, and she is responsible for it. She doesn't like the saying "a lifetime of entrustment". Why should she entrust her life to others? She is not a baby.
Zhang Yuelu was thinking more that the "Eternal Su Nu Sutra" was indeed a great method, and the two of them were virgins, so the effect of this dual cultivation was very good, almost equivalent to the hard work of half a year.
But you must be moderate and not use it too much. If the pleasure brought by men and women is one, then the pleasure brought by the "Eternal Su Nu Sutra" is three. It is easy to indulge in it, and too much is as bad as too little. Many people who practice the "Eternal Su Nu Sutra" do not grasp this point well, and eventually develop into wantonly taking the essence of others, which is an evil path.
After a long while, probably because of telepathy, the two of them spoke at the same time.
"Qingxiao."
"Tianyuan."
The two were silent for a moment, and then said in unison: "You go first."
"I'll go first." Zhang Yuelu said, "What arrangements do you have for Qi Niang?"
Qi Xuansu was very pleased: "You still remember it."
Zhang Yuelu said: "Qi Niang and I do have different opinions on some things, but we can put one thing on one."
Qi Xuansu said: "Qi Niang's matter is not urgent, and it's useless for us to be anxious. It mainly depends on her opinion."
Zhang Yuelu saw that Qi Xuansu had an idea in his mind, so he stopped asking and asked: "What do you want to say?"
Qi Xuansu said: "I want to say that the two of us have been tossing for most of the night, and it's almost dawn. It's time to get up, otherwise Xiao Yin will come to knock on the door. Others can't do this kind of thing, but Xiao Yin can probably do it."
This will make Xiao Yin very upset - Lao Qi and Lao Zhang know the taste of food and are reluctant to get out of bed, which will cause them to lose face.
Only then did Zhang Yuelu notice that there was faint light outside, and he sat up directly: "Quick!"
The new house has already prepared daily necessities for the two of them, including a set of daily clothes.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu changed into their regular clothes and combed each other's hair into a bun.
Qi Xuansu put away yesterday's purple and gold crane cloak and put it in the cabinet. Zhang Yuelu changed into new sheets, and then heard Xiao Yin starting to slap on the door of the main courtyard.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but look at each other and secretly said, "It's so dangerous."
If this was done at night, this stinky girl would really succeed.
"I'll open the door." Qi Xuansu walked out.
Zhang Yuelu is responsible for checking and filling in the gaps to see if there are any deficiencies.
Qi Xuansu walked out of the room, walked around the screen wall, opened the courtyard door, and let Xiao Yin in: "It's so early in the morning, no one is allowed to rest."
Xiao Yin ignored Qi Xuansu and trotted to the new house. He looked left and right, and then said with disappointment on his face: "It's nothing different."
Qi Xuansu picked her up with one hand: "What do you want to be different?"
Xiao Yin flapped his short legs wildly: "I heard what others said. I just want to take a look. Put me down quickly."
Qi Xuansu put her down and said, "You are a little kid, so don't ask about this kind of thing."
Xiao Yin rolled his eyes and asked curiously: "What did you two do last night?"
Zhang Yuelu couldn't listen anymore and cleared his throat with a majestic look on his face.
Xiao Yin immediately recalled the fear of being dominated by Zhang Yuelu, and immediately changed her tone: "Wu Niang said that we have to worship our ancestors today, but it is not good to miss the auspicious time!"
Zhang Yuelu said: "I understand. You go and reply to Wuniang, and we will go there right away."
Xiao Yin ran out again.
Qi Xuansu didn't have a family temple or ancestral hall, but the Zhang family did. That would have to wait until Zhang Yuelu returned home, so worshiping the ancestors was actually worshiping the Supreme Taoist Ancestor.
When Xiao Yin went out, Qi Xuansu said: "Where did Xiao Yin get the courage? Old Lin couldn't control her. It turned out that Wu Niang was instigating her behind the scenes. The old and the young were not serious and just wanted to watch. Our joke."
Zhang Yuelu said: "It must have been self-defeating. If the two of them join forces, you will suffer."
Qi Xuansu couldn't say anything, so he could only walk out.
This new home occupies a very large area. Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu's new house is located in the main courtyard, which is the third entrance on the middle road. There are two entrances at the back, which are the residence for Qiniang and the garden.
Xiao Yin lives in the third courtyard on the East Road, next to their main courtyard. Wuniang lives in the fourth courtyard on the East Road, next to Qiniang's residence. Because Wuniang lives here as a guest, she is not in the middle road. , and Wu Niang has a serious residence, and it is located in Xuandu.
The place of worship is at Qiniang's residence. Qiniang's residence is not as simple as a few rooms, but a large independent courtyard. As long as a few of the rooms are slightly modified, it can be used to worship Taishang Taozu, which is equivalent to a private church in a Westerner's castle.
Wuniang, Lin Yuanmiao, and Xiao Yin are already waiting here in advance.
After Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu arrived, Lin Yuanmiao took out the blessing words that he had prepared and handed them to them. They were all written with cinnabar on ivy paper, which can also be called green words.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu each had a portion and muttered something in front of Taishang Taozu. After reciting one piece of Qingci, he lit the piece of Qingci on the candle and placed it in the brazier in front of the prayer table. Because it is made of ivy paper with cinnabar written on it, the fire is green and red, and the smoke is colorful.
Xiao Yin stood nearby and looked eagerly at the blue, red and colorful light smoke, wanting to burn the paper instead of the two of them.
If so, the green words in their hands were burned, and in the light and smoke, they worshiped Taishang Taozu.
This is equivalent to worshiping ancestors.
Master Cihang granted Zhang Yuelu half a month's wedding leave, including the time for returning home. During this period, there was no need to go to Tiangang Hall to sit in the hall. Qi Xuansu had no position at all, and basically had nothing to do except the meeting of the thirty-six people in Jinque, so this was also a rare free time.
Qi Xuansu suggested: "Let's go out for a walk. It's been a long time since we went to Taiqing City. The last time we went to Taiqing City together was several years ago. At that time, I was still a seventh-grade Taoist priest."
Xiao Yin was the first to jump up and agree, but Wu Niang held her head and suppressed her.
Although Wu Niang likes to see Qi Xuansu's jokes, she still knows her priorities and should not be annoying at this time.
"You two go. We won't go." Wu Niang said.
Xiao Yin wanted to express his objection, but Wu Niang covered her mouth in advance. She was unable to make a sound and could only struggle in vain.
Qi Xuansu took Zhang Yuelu's hand and said, "Let's go and visit our old place again."
