I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 196 Sir, please elope with me

Shen Lang stayed on the mountain for another two days.

During these two days, in addition to detoxifying Shi Feixuan, he also discussed the general situation of the world with her.

Because Shi Feixuan cares about the world and works hard to benefit it.

Shen Lang had the beauty in his heart and would discuss related content with her from time to time, adding some of his own opinions, hoping that she could gain something.

Men will say anything to get into bed.

There is nothing strange about this. On the contrary, it would be strange if nothing was said.

However, Shi Feixuan said a lot of random things, such as stories about guarding Dan Tong, to comfort him, and expressed that she would never get trapped in any kind of emotion in this illusory world.

But Shen Lang didn't care. No matter what she thought, as long as there was a place to accommodate him, it was fine.

At this moment, the starry sky is bright. Shen Lang and Shi Feixuan are standing side by side on the cliff of the Jingnian Zen Sect's small bamboo forest, looking at the Luoyang City below the mountain.

Shen Lang became interested as he smelled the intoxicating fragrance coming from Shi Feixuan's body.

There is no denying that this transcendent and stunning beauty, no matter what she said or smiled, could make him feel like he was basking in the spring breeze and be intoxicated by it.

He hugged her from behind and pinched her with his hands.

Shi Feixuan didn't struggle. She just turned her pretty face away and asked with a smile, "I wonder if Brother Shen has ever heard of the Holy Relic?"

Shen Lang met her clear and unfathomable gaze and nodded, "Could it be that Feixuan, you are also concerned about the whereabouts of this thing? Rumor has it that its last owner was Xiang Yutian."

Shi Feixuan was slightly startled and asked, "Brother Shen also knows about the Holy Relic?"

Shen Lang rarely saw her act so humanely. He nodded and said, "Of course, I not only know what this thing is, but I also know where it is. But isn't this thing called the Evil Emperor's Relic? Why is it called the Holy Relic?"

Shi Feixuan smiled and said, "Actually, the correct name should be Holy Relics. It's the status symbol of the Holy Emperor of the Holy Extreme Sect. It's just that outsiders call the Holy Extreme Sect and the Holy Emperor the Evil Extreme Sect and the Evil Emperor, so the Holy Relics become Evil Relics or Evil Emperor Relics!"

Shen Lang also found it funny and said with a smile, "That's right. Who would be willing to consider themselves to be from an evil sect? Of course, that doesn't include me."

Shi Feixuan looked at him deeply, as if she wanted to see through him.

After a while, he turned his gaze towards Luoyang City at the foot of the mountain and said softly, "Not many people know about the Holy Relic. I would like to ask, Brother Shen, where did you learn about this little-known secret?"

Shen Lang let go of his dribbling hand and said, "Some things can be easily understood as long as you observe carefully."

Shi Feixuan only heard the sound of careful thinking coming from behind her.

A moment later, a small crystal ball with golden and dazzling light appeared before his eyes.

Shi Feixuan was immediately surprised and asked, "Sacred relic? How did it end up in Brother Shen's hands?"

Shen Lang smiled slightly and said, "As I said just now, as long as you observe carefully, you can know a lot of things. I have also heard a little about things like the Holy Relics, the Huajian Sect, and the Yinkui Sect."

Shi Feixuan revealed a thoughtful expression. She turned around, looked at him, and said softly, "I didn't expect that Brother Shen had many secrets that I didn't know."

Shen Lang said, "Actually, many things are considered secrets, but there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. I've heard that there's a young man named Hou Xibai in the martial arts world. He's probably the heir of the Huajian School."

Shi Feixuan smiled and said, "Brother Shen is right. I've known his identity and background since the first day I met him, and he didn't hide it from me. I wonder if Brother Shen thinks the Huajian Sect is evil or righteous?"

Shen Lang was greatly shocked. He was now thinking about becoming a disciple of Fei Xuan. Who would care about whether they were on the right path or not?

But looking at Shi Feixuan's curious eyes, listening to her sweet voice like the sound of heaven, and being covered by the charming starry night, it is better to satisfy her curiosity for the time being.

"Whether it's the right path or the wrong path, it's all due to differences in thought," Shen Lang said seriously. "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when hundreds of schools of thought contended with each other, the divisions of schools began to emerge. It wasn't until Emperor Wu of Han abolished all schools of thought and promoted Confucianism as the only one that everyone accepted as orthodox. Only then did the distinction between right and wrong emerge. This is purely a man-made consequence."

Shi Feixuan's beautiful eyes gleamed with a moving brilliance as she nodded, "Indeed, it is difficult to trace the origins of the Demon Sect's beliefs. All we know is that they oppose the Confucian ideals of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, dismissing them as hypocritical and foolish."

"After a long period of development, they became increasingly deviant, with the Yellow Turban rebels and the Five Pecks of Rice Sect at the end of the Han Dynasty being the most prominent examples."

"Yes, any thought that goes to extremes will lead to deviating from the right path and becoming evil." Shen Lang nodded.

Shi Feixuan continued gently, "Before Shi Zhixuan, the Huajian School had never produced any extremely vicious individuals. They pursued the path of martial arts through art, and they also regarded martial arts as a supreme art that directly relates to people. Therefore, their descendants are all versatile and focus on artistic conception and charm. This is why they have been able to establish themselves among many other schools and maintain an enduring reputation."

Shen Lang said, "Confucianism advocates the doctrine of the mean, while the Huajian School is a sect that leans towards the extreme. They believe that a person's true nature can transcend all morality. Combined with art, they have developed a set of things that are difficult for orthodox sects to accept. As for whether it is evil or righteous, it depends on one's perspective."

Shi Feixuan nodded and said, "Brother Shen always speaks directly to the point. We should really look at the essence of things. Although the Huajian Sect is classified as a demonic sect, it is actually fundamentally different from the Yingui Sect."

"Indeed." Shen Lang looked directly into her eyes. "I don't think we need to discuss this right now. I feel like the remaining poison in my body has been stimulated again."

Shi Feixuan stared at him closely. "Could it be that when Brother Shen and Feixuan were together, he only thought about those things between men and women? Didn't he think about anything else?"

"It's human nature." Shen Lang said seriously, "As Taoism says, 'Yin alone cannot produce life, Yang alone cannot grow. When Yin and Yang combine, everything comes into being.' This is the Way of Heaven, and what I cultivate is the Way of Heaven."

Shi Feixuan smiled sweetly for the first time in her life, and said in a sweet and innocent manner, "Brother Shen always speaks in a roundabout way."

Then the topic changed: "Brother Shen, please put the holy relic away first. The holy relic has a strong attraction to the people in the Demon Sect. They have ways to know the location of the holy relic. If they find it, they will only think that the holy relic is in the Pure Mind Zen Sect, especially the Evil King Shi Zhixuan."

Having said this, Shi Feixuan turned her gaze away, as if something was on her mind.

After a long pause, he sighed softly, "Shi Zhixuan is probably a different species from the Demon Sect. He holds the title of leader of both the Huajian Sect and the Butian Pavilion. The martial arts methods and approaches of these two sects are fundamentally different. To this day, no one understands how he was able to fuse the martial arts of the two sects into one, creating such a terrifying and unparalleled demonic skill."

Shen Lang said, "I haven't encountered him yet, so I don't know if his magic is that powerful. I heard that your sect's Bi Xiuxin gave birth to a daughter for him in order to suppress his magic."

Shi Feixuan said softly, "Indeed, if it weren't for Master Xiuxin's great sentiment of 'If I don't go to hell, then who will?', and her willingness to feed the devil with her own body, the world would have been turned upside down by Shi Zhixuan, and the devil would have been defeated."

Shi Feixuan's face suddenly broke into a sweet smile, "The Heshi Bi is a righteous object, and the Holy Relic is a sacred object of the evil sect. Now both of these things are in Brother Shen's possession. It is really surprising."

"Surprised?" Shen Lang was a little surprised.

Shi Feixuan turned away and faced Shen Lang, frowning slightly as she said, "From Brother Shen's tone, it seems he's dissatisfied with her. Shouldn't I be surprised?"

Shen Lang smiled and said, "I thought Feixuan cared about the people, but I didn't expect you to pay attention to these things. I thought you were only thinking about how to get the Heshi Bi and the Holy Relic."

Shi Feixuan suppressed her laughter and glared at him, saying, "Because, even at this moment, I still don't understand what kind of person you are. Anyone else carrying the Heshi Bi and the holy relic would want to dominate the world or reach the pinnacle of martial arts."

"But you're like a well, the depth of which is difficult to gauge. On the surface, you appear simple, but your true essence remains elusive. That's why I'm curious. I want to know from whom you learned so many secrets about the Demonic Sect, the two factions, and the Six Paths, and how you obtained these two items."

"We have plenty of time to get to know each other slowly." Shen Lang placed his hands on her pockets. "To understand each other, we must start with being honest with each other. Let's start with this step. Only then can we be honest and not hide anything."

Shi Feixuan grabbed his hand and said, "Brother Shen, why are you so preoccupied with your children? Now that you are carrying the holy relic, you must be careful of Shi Zhixuan. Because for both us and the Demon Sect, Shi Zhixuan has been the most troublesome threat in the past hundred years."

She said seriously, "This man was able to single-handedly destroy the Sui Dynasty without bloodshed, causing the empire to fall apart. This shows how powerful he is. If Master Xiuxin hadn't moved him to true love, causing his Immortal Seal, created by fusing the strengths of both good and evil, to have a flaw that shouldn't have existed, the world might not be in the situation it is now."

Shen Lang said disapprovingly, "No matter how terrifying the Immortal Seal is, it's just a martial art after all. It can't destroy the world."

Shi Feixuan replied calmly, "Brother Shen, what you said is quite true. No matter how powerful evil skills are, they are just martial arts. Of course, they cannot destroy heaven and earth. But I wonder if Brother Shen has heard of the Four Schools of Buddhism?"

Shen Lang didn't understand what she was thinking about, so he nodded and said, "I've heard a little bit about it. It seems to be Tiantai, Sanlun, Huayan, and Zen."

Shi Feixuan nodded and said, "Indeed, Shi Zhixuan also secretly learned the secret techniques of Master Jiaxiang of the Three Treatises School and the Fourth Patriarch of the Zen School. However, the four schools never revealed them to outsiders for the sake of face."

"Brother Shen, you must pay attention. Shi Zhixuan is an unparalleled martial arts genius. No matter what secret manual of extraordinary skills, once in his hands, he can always integrate and master it, and even create new strategies to reach a higher level. But looking at the current martial arts world, I'm afraid only you are qualified to fight him." Shen Lang nodded without blushing, "I didn't expect you to discover this advantage of mine."

Shi Feixuan smiled and said, "Let's not talk about how powerful the Immortal Seal is. Just look at how the four great Buddhist monks once teamed up to hunt down Shi Zhixuan, determined to take back his martial arts. They surrounded him three times, yet he still escaped injured. You can see how terrifying Shi Zhixuan is, so you shouldn't take him lightly."

Shen Lang said, "Don't worry, Feixuan. Although I didn't fight him, I will be careful and won't let him hurt me in the slightest."

He no longer had the heart to talk to Shi Feixuan about these irrelevant things, and started to make moves.

When the first ray of dawn appeared on the eastern horizon, Shi Feixuan stood up.

After a "bo" sound, she glanced up at the sky with her beautiful eyes and said softly, "Brother Shen, please come in. Feixuan is used to being alone, and she has important matters to attend to. If there is anything, Feixuan will come to you."

Shen Lang asked: "What if I want to see you?"

Shi Feixuan looked at him and said softly, "Feixuan will be staying at Yuhe Temple next to Todai-ji Temple. As long as you say the four words 'Buddha's Mercy', the monks in the temple will know you are here to see me. If I am not here, you can tell the abbot, Master Changshan, about anything."

"Okay, I'll come to find you when you're free." Shen Lang nodded.

Shi Feixuan's eyes suddenly became complicated, as if containing countless emotions that had been hidden deep in her heart. She sighed softly and whispered, "Although you are a skilled martial artist, you must be careful if you face Shi Zhixuan."

She has the world at heart and has many things to do, so she won't indulge in this personal affair.

Even Shen Lang couldn't ask her to stay, so he just watched her leave.

Then he got up and went down the mountain.

These past few days I have been having in-depth and easy-to-understand discussions with Shi Feixuan on the mountain.

Overall, both sides benefited greatly.

Although Shi Feixuan has a kind heart, she can't help but cry out when she is deeply in love.

That sense of accomplishment is really strong.

Now that Shi Feixuan has left, he has to find a new way to practice.

After returning to Luoyang City, he prepared to ask someone where Shang Xiufang was.

He had thought about going to take a look last time, but because of the arrival of Zhu Yuyan and Kankan, he had to change his mind.

I have nothing to do this time, so I'll go and see how beautiful Shang Xiufang is.

Seeing a restaurant in front of him, he was about to step forward.

But he heard Dong Shu Ni's sweet voice calling out from behind him: "Shen Lang, where have you been during this time?"

Shen Lang turned around and found that Dong Shu Ni was still wearing the tight white suit with red edges, which showed off her beautiful curves. She was tall where she was tall, and big where she was big, full of youthful and fiery charm.

Dong Shuni dragged him to the side of the road and said coquettishly, "Where have you been all this time? I haven't seen you in the city. Why do you look like a heartless man who has eaten his fill and left?"

Seeing someone peeking over, Shen Lang said, "I haven't even eaten yet, why are you leaving? I'm just out doing some work."

Dong Shu Ni showed an extremely charming smile and nodded innocently, "Okay, I believe what you say."

Shen Lang leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Do you have time today?"

"What are you doing?" Dong Shu Ni asked curiously.

Shen Lang said: "Of course it's you. I like to hear your moans under me and see you sweating profusely."

Dong Shu Ni blushed and leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I've been thinking about the scene of that day these past few days, but you have to accompany me to a banquet tonight, and then we can discuss the plan of elopement."

Shen Lang asked in surprise: "Elope? You want to elope with me?"

Dong Shu Ni angrily said, "What's the big deal? Do you want me to marry that lecherous old man Li?"

It seems that Li Yuan and Wang Shichong are making a political marriage deal in order to deal with Li Mi, who is currently the most powerful, so Li Yuan wants to marry Dong Shu Ni, who is famous in Luoyang.

Only when Wang Shichong got rid of the worry in the west could he deal with Li Mi freely, and the Li family was happy to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers.

Shen Lang pondered for a moment and said, "I'll think of a way, but first we need to find a place to go and relieve our longing."

Dong Shu Ni thought he really wanted to elope with her, and immediately said happily, "Then let's find a place to thank you first, and then you should wait for him at the back door of Rong Fengxiang's mansion at the beginning of the evening. I will try to sneak out. See you there."

Shen Lang asked curiously, "What is Rong Fengxiang going to do? What are you doing there tonight?"

Dong Shuni said angrily, "You don't even know Rong Fengxiang, do you? He's a wealthy and powerful figure in Luoyang. Even my uncle is a little jealous of him. He owns eight out of ten casinos. His daughter Rong Jiaojiao and I are known as the 'Two Beauties of Luoyang.' Today is his fiftieth birthday, so we're having a birthday banquet at home."

Shen Lang smiled and said, "I see. I haven't been in Luoyang recently, so I don't know about this. But since it's Rong Fengxiang's fiftieth birthday, you should take me with you, and then we can sneak away quietly."

"Okay, then it's a deal." Dong Shuni's face became even more joyful, and she whispered, "Bad guy, hurry up and find a place, I can't wait any longer."

After a cup of tea time.

The two came to a boat on the river.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Shen Lang pressed him against the wall.

But after two hours, Dong Shu Ni forced herself to leave despite feeling uncomfortable.

It is not convenient for her to attend the event with Shen Lang for the time being, so she has to go back and dress up first.

Shen Lang went to Rong Mansion on his own. When he arrived outside the gate of Rong Mansion, he was also shocked by the lively scene.

The mansion of Rong Fengxiang, the richest man in Luoyang, was built on a hill in the northeast of the city. It covered a vast area and was of a grand scale. At a glance, the houses were scattered among the trees, creating a magnificent scene.

Right in the middle of the square at the entrance, a huge Aoshan was erected, with a high colorful fence and no less than ten thousand exquisite lanterns hung all over the place. They were brilliant and dazzling, illuminating the inside and outside as bright as day.

There was an endless stream of guests arriving to congratulate them, and ladies in rich and embroidered clothes were crowded everywhere. Amidst the deafening firecrackers and the smoke, they were laughing and playing, which was especially better than the New Year atmosphere.

There were lights and colorful decorations everywhere in the house, and all the maids and servants went out to greet the guests.

He had just arrived when Wang Shichong's motorcade also arrived. It was also a large lineup, with nearly a hundred carefully selected guards protecting eight carriages as they slowly entered the Rong Mansion.

Shen Lang did not announce his name, and the guard at the gate invited him in.

As he was secretly observing who was in the mansion, Dong Shuni leaned close to his ear and complained, "Master, you made me so exhausted just now! How should I compensate you?"

He smiled and asked, "Shuni, how do you want me to compensate you?"

Dong Shu Ni practically bit his ear and said, "Of course you're going to elope with me. You can't forget this. I'll go in first so no one sees me."

"You said Rong Jiaojiao is as famous as you, and you were exhausted just now. Why not ask her for help?" Shen Lang suggested again, "How about this idea?"
