After halfway through the banquet, Si Yang prepared a New Year gift for each ghost servant. It was not very important, it was his special soul-raising pill. Twelve pieces in a bottle, and one piece in a month was consumed for just one year.
The ghost servants happily accepted it. Compared with the soul-raising array set by the master, the pills refined by the master are the real good things.
After giving the ghost servant, Si Yang gave Li Zezhi another card: "This is the New Year's money I'll find you a teacher to make up for your lessons after the New Year. When the school starts, you will go to class. Start studying from the second year of high school. You can't delay your study and practice in the future."
Li Zezhi didn't expect that he would still have New Year's money and could go to school, so he happily took it: "Thank you, Master!"
After giving all their things, Si Yang gave Lan Yuzhuo a small wooden box. Lan Yuzhuo did not expect to receive a New Year gift from Brother Si Yang, and was surprised: "Even I have it?"
Si Yang smiled and said, "This is a beauty pill. Girls love beauty, and they must be beautiful in the new year."
Lan Yuzhuo smiled and nodded constantly: "Thank you Brother Si Yang!"
After Lan Yuzhuo said that, he took out a few gifts from the bag beside him, and almost everyone, including the ghost servants of the Si family, said: "This is a New Year gift for everyone, I wish you a happy New Year!"
When he saw everyone, Shen Ran, who had become a chinchilla, looked even more sad. He looked at Shan Hexuan with a eager look. At least he had fought with bandits together. He had dug ginseng in a mountain, and he secretly hid a red stone to give it to Shan Hexuan as a gift. Shan Hexuan should have prepared a gift for him as well.
Unfortunately, it was a pity that Shen Ran was disappointed. Shan Hexuan never thought about preparing a gift. However, because he was invited to the Si family for the New Year, in addition to the New Year gift he brought, he did prepare a gift, but it was given to Si Yang's apprentice Li Zezhi, and he gave it when he entered the door. So when he saw Shen Ran's eyes, he was stunned at once. What should he do if he didn't prepare a gift?
Si Yang asked someone to take out two more gift boxes, one of which was the size of a palm, and handed it to Dan Hexuan and said, "For you, the chinchilla."
When Shen Ran heard this, he rushed to Shan Hexuan's legs and tried to see what it was. Shan Hexuan opened it as he wanted to see what it was. There was a bell tied to his neck inside. Shen Ran's little black bean eyes widened!
Then Si Yang handed another one to Dan Hexuan: "Although this was originally your thing, I have added the New Year gift I gave you to see how it is."
Shan Hexuan quickly took it: "Thank you." As soon as he opened it, a silver-white sword lay quietly in the box, with a cold light shining on the edge of the sword. When Shan Hexuan's hand touched it, the sword actually made a buzzing sound, as if it was responding to him. The sword was still his sword, but it seemed to have been injected into life and turned into a living sword.
Si Yang said: "All things have spirits, treat each other sincerely, and anything can be born."
Shan Hexuan nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, I will cherish it!"
After giving it a turn, Si Yang looked at Lan Jinxiu and smiled and stretched out his hand: "You have it too, I'll give you this, Happy New Year."
Lan Jinxiu took it and opened it. There was a small bead inside, probably the size of a fist of a newborn baby. It was as white as jade and flawless as a whole. However, it looked like jade but not jade, but not pearl. Even Lan Jinxiu, who had seen many good things, could not guess what it was.
Si Yang smiled and said, "When you meet a water creature, put it on the water, you will constantly generate spiritual energy. You can put it in your other restaurant. At that time, your entire farm will have some faint spiritual energy. It is also beneficial for people to live in an environment containing spiritual energy for a long time."
Lan Jinxiu frowned slightly: "This thing is too expensive."
Si Yang smiled and said, "What's the most valuable thing? Don't forget that half of your farm's income is mine. In the future, even if you open the price of the resort, you can make more money for me."
Hearing this, Lan Jinxiu couldn't help but smile: "Okay, I'll make more money for you in the future." After that, Lan Jinxiu held the wine glass and said to him: "Happy New Year, this year is probably the happiest year I have."
Si Yang smiled: "Happy New Year, you will get better and better in the future."
Lan Jinxiu took out a brocade box from his pocket and handed it to Si Yang: "I'll give you a New Year's gift."
Si Yang reached out to take it: "Can you open it and take a look?"
Lan Jinxiu nodded.
Si Yang opened it and saw an extremely transparent sapphire inside. The sapphire is an oval with multiple cut surfaces. It is very dazzling and gorgeous under the light, and it looks quite valuable at first glance.
Although this gorgeous gem and diamond is just a slightly better stone for Si Yang, his intention cannot be measured by his value, so he smiled and said, "It's very beautiful, I like it very much, thank you."
Lan Jinxiu said: "This is not an ordinary gem."
When Si Yang heard this, he took the sapphire out of the box with some confusion. When his fingertips touched the gem's coldness, his eyes suddenly changed a little.
Lan Jinxiu said: "Although it is just a legend, it is said that this is the key to a secret library more than 3,000 years ago. It is recorded in it. It is said that there was a very powerful tribe who occupied a mysterious territory and used special methods to isolate it from the world. No one except their own people can find the entrance there. I heard that there are rare treasures everywhere, and the people there have a long life. Through various descriptions, some people speculate that the mysterious place may be the ruins of ancient monks, but it is just speculation that this gem has been passed by many heavenly masters, but nothing is seen. Maybe that is just a legend, but this is indeed something from more than 3,000 years ago and has collection value."
Shang Qishui and Shan Hexuan, who were standing aside, couldn't help but look over when they heard this. Shang Qishui even said: "There is indeed a legend. It is said that this sapphire was in the hands of the Lan family more than ten years ago, but even the elders didn't see any name. Later, they took it out and sold it at an auction. At that time, it seemed that it was bought by a European. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be back to China more than ten years later."
More than 3,000 years ago, China was a period when wood jewelry was more common. Because of the difficulty of purification, gold, silver and jade were used by princes and nobles more often. Ordinary civilians did not have the conditions, and there was no polishing tool for hard objects such as gems and diamonds. It would cost a lot of money to polish one, which did not meet the needs of the market. However, this sapphire was indeed a burial object unearthed from an ancient tomb three thousand years ago. In addition to the deeds of the tomb owner during his lifetime, the description of the magical gems of this gem, which made it particularly special.
Si Yang put it in his hand and played with it for a while before putting it in the brocade box: "It's indeed a good thing."
As for how good it is, he didn't say that it was indeed a good way to hide it.
On New Year's Eve, everyone ate and drank, watched the Chinese New Year's party that was unshakable, and waited until the clock turned. Shang Qishui looked at the fireworks blooming on TV and sighed: "Although fireworks are prohibited for environmental protection, but without those things, I always feel that there is less flavor of the New Year."
Lan Yuzhuo has never had a happy New Year since she was a child. This year is the first time she has felt the happiness of New Year reunion, so she doesn't quite understand the New Year atmosphere that Shang Qishui said. She feels that it is very interesting now: "Don't let it go. Look at the smog now. I feel that in a few years, even the sun will not be seen."
Si Yang said: "If we can find the entire dragon vein of China and do a large-scale prayer, the whole China will probably become different."
Lan Jinxiu leaned against the sofa and looked at Si Yang. Lan Yuzhuo said curiously: "What's the difference?"
"The country's fortune is strong, and its momentum is strong. The dragon vein is contaminated with dust, so it will naturally not wake up. If the dragon vein wakes up, it will be a natural barrier. At that time, all Chinese people and the land of China will be protected by the dragon vein. Maybe the entire environment will change greatly by then, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful without smog. However, this kind of large-scale prayer can only be thought about."
Li Zezhi also asked curiously: "Why?"
Si Yang glanced at him: "If you have studied Chinese history, you wouldn't ask such a stupid question, because China's territory has been divided into various parts. Many areas that originally belonged to China have now become other countries' territory. You should know that China once occupied most of Europe, so it is basically impossible to pray with the dragon vein. Apart from that, few heavenly masters have the ability to pray with the power of the dragon vein to pray with the power of the dragon vein."
Shang Qishui also sighed: "The decline of Xuanmen, because of the environment, humans have damaged the environment too seriously. In ancient times, humans advocated nature, so nature gave back powerful power. Now that people destroy nature, what nature gives back is the increasingly difficult living environment, which is very fair."
Si Yang leaned lazily against the side and listened to their discussion on environmental issues. When he turned around, he bumped into Lan Jinxiu's sight, so he smiled at him: "You guys chat, I'll go call."
Although he did not have the habit of greeting New Year, even if he greeted New Year, he basically sent it on WeChat. However, this year is the New Year of Cang Yongfeng's sister. Although he was not present to the venue, it was considered as the etiquette of making a call to greet him.
Lan Jinxiu waited for him to hang up the phone after he finished talking outside, then pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window and walked towards him. Si Yang looked into the room. Even Dan Hexuan was pulled by Lan Yuzhuo and Xiao Fuzi to play games, and smiled helplessly: "Why, I think it's so much trouble inside?"
Lan Jinxiu paused slightly and said, "Si Yang, can I ask you a question?"
Si Yang said seriously: "Psychological consultation is charged for every second, one hundred yuan per second, and the timing starts from now on, please ask."
Lan Jinxiu smiled, and the light projected from the house lit half of his cheeks, and his angular facial features looked a little softer under the light: "If a person's life is too long, will it be lonely?"
Si Yang didn't expect him to ask this question. Before coming to Earth, he never thought about it. Instead, he would think about it occasionally over the years. He is a man outsider, and time is frozen for him. As long as he is so powerful that no one has the ability to kill him, on this Earth, he can even be said to live with heaven and earth.
If the people around you have only a short century of years, too long life will naturally be lonely and boring, although this long life is long for everyone in the world of immortal cultivation and strive for it at all costs. Isn’t it just to have a time of immortality and an immortal body? Therefore, whether you are lonely depends on the environment.
"What does this kind of thing matter depends on what individuals value most. If you have family and lovers, but in the end you live alone, it will naturally be painful and lonely. If you are only alone and in order to pursue strength, then the so-called longness is only for ordinary people, and naturally there is no need to talk about loneliness."
"What about you?"
Si Yang smiled and said, "My life has just begun, how can I know what the future will be like?"
As for the future, Si Yang actually thought about it, there were only three ways to live, one was to live as an old monster, just like the only two foundation builders in China today, who had traveled to the country. The other was naturally to change their identities and places every few years, otherwise they would find a deep mountain to set up a barrier and practice in seclusion, and they would close their eyes and open them, and hundreds of years would pass.
Lan Jinxiu smiled and stopped asking.
However, Si Yang was a little confused: "Why did you ask this question suddenly?"
Lan Jinxiu said: "It was probably because he was moved when he saw Shen Ran. If he hid his identity, one day the people in the room would gradually grow old, but he was as young as ever. Suddenly, he felt that the static time sometimes seemed not a good thing."
Si Yang followed Lan Jinxiu's gaze and looked into the house. The little dragon cat wanted to play with everyone, so he jumped up and down while leaping on Dan Hexuan's clothes, but because there were Shang Qishui and Lan Yuzhuo in the house, he wanted to hide himself and not reveal him, and his hair was blown up.
In the end, he has not been tempered for much time and cannot become stable in his mind. Maybe he himself has not truly realized the difference between monsters and humans. Perhaps this is Grandpa Shen Ran’s purpose, so that Shen Ran will completely live in the human world as an ordinary person. For the fairy, it will not take long for him to feel the difference between humans and monsters. Only by experiencing life and death can he truly grow up. Over time, he will not easily develop emotions for humans, and without emotions, he will not be sad.
New Year's Eve was spent on this question worth pondering. The next morning, Shan Ji brought his personal disciples to pay New Year's greetings. Fortunately, Si Yang was prepared and not many other things, such as Qingling Pills, which can be scattered in large quantities. In the past, in the world of immortal cultivation, the most common ones were to treat various kinds of blood-recovering medicines. Now the world is too stable, but there are more things that can calm down.
So Si Yang, each apprentice brought by Shanji, gave him one bottle, not many in one bottle, only six, but his apprentice had four, and he only had one. It seems that he should still accept more apprentices, otherwise he would not be able to collect gifts during festivals in the future.
Shanji knew that Si Yang had many good things here. As his apprentice, there was definitely no shortage of things about cultivation, so he gave the most realistic one: "If you have time in the future, go to Linggu Temple to play. There are many green-haired turtles in Linggu Temple, and many scenic spots that are not open to ordinary tourists. Then I will find a senior brother to take you around."
Li Zezhi looked at Si Yang, and when he saw him nodding, he reached out to take the red envelope: "Thank you, Master, I will definitely go to Linggu Temple to play in the future."
Shanji nodded with a smile and turned to Si Yang to say another thing: "Did Si Xiaoyou receive the news when he happened last night?"
Si Yang shook his head: "No, what happened?"
Shan Ji said: "Last night, several celestial masters of the Lan family prayed for blessings every year on the Dihan Building, but they were backfired. I don't know when there was a cyst of evil spirit hidden in the sky. Everyone did not notice it at that time. The evil spirit collided in the middle of the prayer. Two younger celestial masters vomited blood and fell to the ground. They are still being rescued in the hospital of the Lu family.
The Lu family is also one of the four great masters of Xuanmen. They have been guarding the Central Committee for many years with Linggu Temple. However, the Lu family involves many mundane affairs and has opened a hospital. Because the Lu family is from Xuanmen, there is a special department in that hospital that has the sign of a century-old Chinese medicine doctor. In fact, it is a group of Xuanmen Tianshi who knows medical skills and practices medicine. Most people naturally treat medical treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. If the people in Xuanmen are injured by ghosts and evil things, they will naturally take the Tianshi therapy.
When Si Yang heard what Shan Ji said, he naturally thought of the evil spirit he saw in Lan Jinxiu's office building, so he said, "Is Dihan Building the building where the Lan family company is located?"
Shanji nodded and said, "That is, in the past, the Lan family's Tianshi, who was in Zhongdu, would pray for blessings and seek wealth and blessings, and they were always safe and sound. But this year, there was a sudden increase in the evil spirit, and it happened that the Lan family was knocked out. I don't know if it was a blessing or a misfortune."
Si Yang seemed a little puzzled when he heard this: "The evil spirit is not formed in one day. Since as a celestial master, why can such a large piece of evil spirit not be discovered in advance? Even if you don't look up, you can feel the evil spirit when you get close."
Shan Ji said after saying the Buddha's name, "This is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, it cannot be seen by ordinary people. If evil spirits gather today, there will definitely be a disaster in that area, but I don't know if the Lan family can solve it."
Only then did Si Yang realize that the evil they could see was just Yin evil, the human evil could be solved, but the heavenly evil was difficult to eliminate. I don’t know if Lan Jinxiu was lucky or the Lan family’s fortune had been exhausted and the luck was too bad. At this time, this would be fine if it was solved. If something really happened, the leader of the Lan family was just changing, and the people’s hearts were already fluctuating, it would probably be even worse.
