Chapter 23 Night Detective in the Palace
"You're here?"
"I am coming!"
"You shouldn't have come."
"But I'm already here."
If it weren't for the wrong time and place, Shen Yuanjing would have gone there with just a sword, so how could he be as long-winded as Si Yunfan?
Behind the desk in the imperial study room of the imperial palace, there was a white and gentle middle-aged man with a strong bookish atmosphere. He was holding a bamboo slip in his hand and looked very seriously. He only noticed it when Shen Yuanjing arrived in front of him.
It was only the first time that the two met, but Si Yunfan seemed to be familiar with the people coming, and greeted him like he met an old friend. He looked up and smiled gently, but his eyes were filled with psychedelic colors, which was fascinating.
Fortunately, Shen Yuanjing was prepared, and his mind was as calm as an ancient well, as if he had not seen the other party's attack, and sat opposite the table on his own.
There was a small black and delicate stove on the table, with a purple clay pot on it, which was slightly breathing white. Under the pot, there was a crystal clear tea cup, and the amber tea soup was strong and steaming.
Si Yunfan's face was indeed very similar to Li Chi, but the lines on his face were softer and younger. He could not sense any aura from him. When ordinary people saw him, they would probably think he was just an ordinary scholar.
"I was thinking, if you understand, you shouldn't have found a place to hide? It's really beyond my expectations to come to me now." Si Yunfan was not depressed by the failure of the attack. He casually put the bamboo slips on the table, revealing the three large seal characters "Spring and Autumn Strategy" and leaned back, with a leisurely attitude.
There are many night pearls embedded in the imperial study, and the bright white light shines on his black clothes, and the light flows. As he speaks, his face is full of surprise and smile, making people unable to tell which emotion is true and which one is false.
Shen Yuanjing took another teacup without hesitation, poured it out with the teacup, and a water line came out from the mouth of the pot, as thin as a hair, slowly falling into the cup. There was a lot of smoke next to the water line, and a fairyland overlapped in the air, but it looked like the palace at this moment.
Si Yunfan stood up slightly, looking quite interested. Suddenly, the light of the night pearl increased greatly and shone into the mist. The Heavenly Palace was very lively. The Emperor of Heaven invited all directions, the immortals cheered and exchanged cups, and the fairies danced gracefully.
He was fascinated by the sight, and suddenly the smoke swayed, as if he had been hit by an earthquake. The Heavenly Emperor Immortal disappeared in an instant, leaving only the ruins of the ground.
Si Yunfan's eyes shaking, and a feeling of sadness followed on his face, as if he was also deeply saddened by the destruction of the grand scene, but deep in his eyes, he was extremely cold and not moved at all.
Since the meeting, they each tried one trick. Shen Yuanjing was unwilling to play these tricks, but it was impolite to come and not go, so this was also a response to him.
The smoke was pouring out again, wrapping up the remaining scenery of the palace and pouring it into the cup. He finally filled the cup of tea and said, "Why should I hide? Just because I have to worry that your lifespan is not enough, will you come to me and die together?"
Si Yunfan smiled and suddenly said happily: "It turns out that you really guessed what I was thinking, but this is really joyful. I was going to wait ten years before deciding to find you or to find someone else in the vain, but I didn't expect you to come first."
He is from Wang Yaoqi's previous generation. Although no one knows his true age, he is definitely over 140 years old. Even if he can still live, he will only last forty years. It is normal to take a cushion before he dies.
Shen Yuanjing smelled the fragrance of tea, took another sip, and his expression was even more soothing, saying, "Taoism is diluted, and the true master of multiplication is even more profound. It is too difficult for you to endure him to death. According to my understanding of him, his life span may be easily more than two hundred."
"Two hundred? Wouldn't that be more than forty years?" Si Yunfan showed a shocked look on his face and sighed: "Don't talk about me, I'm afraid that even the vain Taoist people would not survive him. I remember that he was only thirty years younger than me, and he became a great master too late, and his life span was not enough."
"If that weren't the case, why did you think the one who left was the Immortal Daoist?" Shen Yuanjing asked and replied: "Are you afraid that he would die too early, so you asked Dajue Temple to take advantage of the loophole."
Si Yunfan immediately showed an annoyed look, patted his forehead, and said, "I should have thought of it long ago." He sighed and said, "Oh, it seems that my enemy is really the only one to be you."
Shen Yuanjing sneered and said, "Even if there is only one left among them, will Brother Si really come to the door to duel? After all, the sects are different from the aristocratic families. The Li family has never been afraid of any sect. Now that the Gu family has disbanded and the Shen family has declined, only the Wang family and me can arouse Brother Si's fear."
"What's more, you're so young, you can't forget that this is the most important thing." Si Yunfan reminded on the side: "If you are old and about to rotten wood, who is afraid that you will not succeed?"
"Hahahaha!" Shen Yuanjing laughed and said, "Indeed, I am too young. Don't say that you are like a thorn in your throat, even the two Zhenwu Sect, Zhao Wuya from Qixia Valley, aren't they afraid. Over the years, the two forces have not sent a sufficient envoy to pay homage to me."
Si Yunfan looked very clear and nodded, "It's so high that I can't stand the cold. When I was the leader, my subordinates were trembling when they saw me. Now that I am the emperor, my ministers dare not show off. I am actually a person who is easy to get along with, but my life is as lonely as snow, and I don't intend to exude cold."
He drank all the tea in the cup, and gave Shen Yuanjing a cup separate from himself, and said to himself: "I am not a person who likes to be bound. My biggest hobby in my life is to travel from south to north and east to west. Unfortunately, I was forced to sit in my current position and couldn't help it."
Shen Yuanjing thought to himself: "Can't the people from the Li family practice their martial arts to the depths and their heads are not normal?" The other party's dialogue made him not know what to say, so he had to pick up the bamboo slips and take a look. It was indeed the Gu family's "Spring and Autumn Strategy". The content in it was mysterious and not under the martial arts he left to the Wang family.
Si Yunfan took the initiative to introduce: "The Gu family's martial arts is indeed extraordinary. It's a pity. I'm not practicing the Five Emperors Dragon Fist. Otherwise, with this secret book, I will definitely be more powerful. It's not a problem to live for a few more years. How can you be so tired that you can come to the door so quickly."
Shen Yuanjing nodded and said, "I have seen Li Chi combine these two martial arts, which is indeed extremely powerful. If Brother Si is properly tuned, there would be another master in the Li family later."
Si Yunfan shook his head and said, "Those trash can't even practice any of the Five Emperors' Fist, let alone the five elements? Besides, I can't use it, why should I worry about them?"
Shen Yuanjing knew that the other party was the kind of selfish person. However, he was a little curious and asked, "Even if I don't come, you don't seem to have any intention to pass on your skills, but why?"
"Because no one can get my inheritance. There is no in the Tianli Sect, and there is no in the Li family." Si Yunfan said gloatingly:
"I once persuaded Xu Yu to change my spiritual enlightenment method, but his master failed to compete with me for the throne back then and was always worried. I don't know how many times I cursed me behind my back. How could he let the decent disciple learn the enemy's martial arts?"
Xu Yu was the saint son of the previous generation of the Tianli Sect, and the established leader of the Tianli Sect, but he was not Si Yunfan's disciple. This is well known to everyone.
He continued, "So even if he wants my accumulation now, he will only be able to do anything. As for the Sunlight Dharma King, he is so stupid that he will be backfired even if he learns my sword with one move, and he will be even more unable to understand the enlightenment method.
Li Yan has always practiced the Five Emperors Dragon Fist, which has been improved by the Great Five Elements Mind Method, and it is even more impossible to inherit my skills. The rest of the Li family’s descendants are all useless people. Therefore, my inheritance has been broken!"
He seemed a little regretful, but more happy. Those who could achieve something by relying on his legacy would not be worthy of what he learned.
Si Yunfan said and looked at the opposite side, expecting that Shen Yuanjing would also have such regrets. He just looked at the other person's face, and couldn't stop being surprised and shouted: "Ah, do you have a successor? Who? It's impossible to be the more useless people from the Wang family, right?"
Shen Yuanjing smiled but didn't answer, drinking tea silently. Si Yunfan's face changed and muttered to himself, and finally all turned into jealousy.
After a pot of tea was finished quickly, Shen Yuanjing listened to the sound of the whistle outside the palace and then said, "It's getting late, where is Brother Si going to do it?"
Si Yunfan had calmed down, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to wait a few more days, otherwise you can go to Yingri Mountains to wait for me first, and I'll handle some things."
Shen Yuanjing nodded and said, "Okay. It won't take a few days to kill Xiao Chaoyang, I can still afford to wait."
Si Yunfan looked at Shen Yuanjing calmly, with the smile on his face becoming brighter and more sincere, and said, "There are too few people in this world who can understand me. I originally regretted that you came too early and occupied my remaining ten years of free time, but now I can't wait to die with you. In this way, we will be ghosts on the same land after death, and we can have a long talk."
Shen Yuanjingli ignored it, got up and went out, drowned in the darkness.
