Choose a day to soar
Chapter 100 Is the golden scale a thing in the pool?
Pei Du calmed down and looked through them one by one. Most of these books were from before the Great Sage Emperor. Some of the books were before Wang Mang and were ancient pre-Qin books collected by Wang Mang in his time.
The first volume is an anecdote from a Sui Dynasty book. It tells that in the second year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, there was a child named Xu in a certain village in the south of the Yangtze River. He had lived in the village for more than ten years without changing his appearance. He suddenly disappeared and no one knew his whereabouts. More than thirty years later, there was a businessman in that village. When he went to a place thousands of miles away, he met a child who looked like the missing child named Xu.
However, thirty years have passed, and the appearance of the child named Xu is still the same as before, without any change.
The businessman came forward to ask, but the child named Xu did not recognize him. The businessman thought that there was indeed a theory of reincarnation in the world.
The second volume tells a story more than 700 years ago. Someone was cutting firewood on the mountain and saw two people in red and one in white playing chess on the side of the road. After the red and white duo finished playing a game of chess, the woodcutter was shocked to find that the handle of the ax in his hand had rotted away and the firewood had turned into charcoal.
The woodcutter staggered home, and the village changed drastically. His parents and wives died of old age, and all the villagers he knew also died. There was only a young man named Xu in the village who knew him and told him that a hundred years have passed since your trip.
The woodcutter was surprised when he saw that the boy looked like this a hundred years ago and still looks like this a hundred years later. At this time, two people in red and white clothes appeared and took away the hundred-year-old boy.
The two people also said that they almost got into trouble while playing chess.
Pei Du looked through other books, which were full of strange stories, and the things recorded were often caused by a young man with an unchanged appearance.
The more he read, the more frightened he became. He gradually turned to ancient books from two thousand years ago, and there were actually sporadic records about an ageless boy!
This ageless boy has a history even older than his Pei family!
He appeared in the crater that destroyed Wang Mang's army, crawled out of the mass grave where books were burned and Confucians were buried, he appeared next to Meng Jiangnu who cried when the Great Wall collapsed, and he also participated in the Battle of Changping, where Bai Qi killed 400,000 people. One of them is him!
He was the young man who imitated the barking of a fox during Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising. He was also the young man who tied up Liu Bang's father in front of the two armies and prepared to put him into a pot to cook and eat.
He appears in a corner of history and attracts little attention.
Pei Du scanned all the ancient books and was speechless for a long time.
The Pei family's collection of books is limited and there are no older books, so he doesn't know whether this ageless boy will appear in older records.
Some of these books have pictures, and some have text. Judging from the pictures, the young man in the painting is indeed somewhat similar to Xu Ying, but it is not certain that it is him.
"Master, these books are mostly anecdotes from unofficial history. The records may not be true, and they may not be about the same boy."
Pei Jingting said cautiously, "An immortal boy has lived from four to five thousand years ago to now. No one would believe this kind of thing."
Pei Du nodded slightly and said: "You are right. This person is unknown, and his story is not recorded in the real historical annals. Most of these anecdotes are the words of novelists and cannot be trusted."
Pei Jingting added: "Xu Ying may not be the immortal boy in the book. I think that although he has amazing words and amazing actions, he still has the temperament of a boy."
Pei Du nodded and said, "He often behaves like an adult and speaks like an adult, but he still has the heart of a child."
Pei Jingting said: "He is extremely useful to my Pei family and should be won over."
Pei Du said: "Yes. He can interpret the Qi Practitioner's skills. Who among the major families wouldn't want to win over him? With all the major families asking for help from him, if our Pei family attacks him, I'm afraid he will become a target of public criticism. .”
Pei Jingting smiled and said: "I'm worried that my brother will have evil thoughts about him because of his immortality. My father implanted a piece of flesh and blood with the curse of immortality, which has extended his life to this day without being eaten. If there is a piece of immortal flesh and blood, no What about the curse? If you could live forever like this..."
"say no more!"
Pei Du interrupted him, with veins pulsing on his forehead, and said, "Stop talking! My Taoist heart is not that strong, and I can resist all temptations! Jingting, you go down first, and you tell the disciples who are looking for books about this, It must not be spread to outsiders!”
Pei Jingting bowed and said yes, and stepped out.
Pei Du waved his hand and asked the maids to go down as well. He paced back and forth in the study, his eyes falling on the mountains of books from time to time, his face uncertain.
"To eat, or not to eat..."
"For the first time, immortality is at your fingertips. Like my father, life is worse than death, or should I be brave enough to take another step forward? After all, my lifespan is about to run out..."
Xu Ying and Yuan Ru hung out for a day and didn't come back until the sun went down. As soon as they entered the house, they felt that something was not right in the atmosphere. They saw a beautiful middle-aged woman standing with an old lady with gray hair. There, he looked at them without saying a word.
The smile on Yuan Ru's face froze, she lowered her head and walked over, saying softly: "My dear mother, great-grandma."
Xu Ying also hurriedly came forward to greet her. The beautiful woman looked similar to Yuan Rushi and Yuan Weiyang. She said with a smile: "No need to be polite. Mr. Xu, I have neglected you these past few days. Uncle Xiao, please send Mr. Xu to rest."
Uncle Xiao said yes and came to invite him.
Xu Ying had no choice but to leave with Uncle Xiao, feeling uneasy in his heart.
In the next few days, Yuan Rushi was not seen, but Yuan Weiyang met a few times. Xu Ying asked Yuan Rushi, and Yuan Weiyang said: "My sister-in-law was punished by her mother for being naughty and was imprisoned."
Xu Ying felt very uneasy, but without Yuan Ru by his side, he could finally restrain his thoughts and concentrate on deciphering the "Yuan Shen Duo Jing".
After half a day, Xu Ying completed the deciphering and showed it to Yuan Weiyang. Yuan Weiyang read it again and said doubtfully: "This is a method for refining the soul and refining the soul, but it seems to be missing some content."
Xu Ying clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I can see it too. I followed the scriptures and speculated for a long time. The follow-up method should be the top priority, which is the method of combating evil! I thought of a way to repair it. You see how it works ?"
He picked up a pen and wrote down a verse to make up for the shortcomings of the "Sutra of Yuan Shen Preserving Disasters". Yuan Weiyang thought about it for a while and said: "There are still loopholes. If modified like this, Yuan Shen can save disasters and avoid disasters."
He picked up the pen and revised part of it. Xu Ying leaned over to look at it, nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile: "I'll try the technique first!"
The two of them each tried to activate the Yuan Shen to survive the calamity. They felt something was wrong and corrected it.
After the two of them completed the Yuan Shen's Sutra for Combating Disasters, the two of them tried their own way. After a short time, they were able to cultivate their souls. As for avoiding disasters, that was something they had to do after they had mastered the Yuan Shen.
Nuo masters do not have the skills to cultivate the soul, so the soul is not very powerful. Xu Ying and Yuan Weiyang completed the Yuan Shen Yuan Sutra. Both of them felt that it was just a piece of cake, but they did not realize the significance of this skill. How big is it!
Xu Ying smiled and said, "I'm going to hand over the Yuan Shen Duo Jing to Prime Minister Pei. He must have been waiting for a long time."
Yuan Weiyang hesitated and said: "You must be careful when you go this time. Although Prime Minister Pei is generous, the Pei family is too big, and I am worried that other people will be unfavorable to you. I will ask Uncle Xiao to see you off."
Xu Ying said yes, called Dazhong and Jian Qi, and rushed to Pei Mansion with Uncle Xiao.
Not long after, the steward of the Pei family came to greet him and invited Xu Ying to the study, where Pei Du was already waiting.
Xu Ying looked at him and saw that Pei Du's hair had grown thicker these days, and he seemed to have aged several years. He asked, "Is Mr. Pei worried?"
Pei Du smiled and said: "You can see it. I have been thinking about a big thing these days and I am undecided."
Xu Ying presented the "Yuan Shen Duo Jing" he had deciphered, and returned the original version to him, saying, "Prime Minister Pei will take a look first."
Pei Du calmly read through it, and after a long time, he fully understood the "Sutra of Yuanshen Overcoming Disasters" and said: "Thank you so much, little friend Xu. Little friend Xu is worthy of being the person who helped the ancestor Baimei to overcome the calamity. This Sutra of Yuanshen Overcoming Disasters, my Pei family gathers heaven The disciple with the highest score has been studying for decades, but his deciphering of scriptures is not as thorough as yours."
Xu Ying smiled and said, "This scripture is incomplete."
Pei Du was shocked and lost his voice: "Incomplete?"
Xu Ying took out another scripture from his sleeve and said with a smile: "After I finished deciphering, I realized that the scripture on the gold paper was incomplete, so I completed it for you."
He did not mention Yuan Weiyang, but he was worried that if others knew that Yuan Weiyang was so smart, they would do something detrimental to him.
"The original Sutra of Yuan Shen's Anti-Disasters only cultivates the soul and tempers the Yuan Shen, but it lacks the method of overcoming disasters, avoiding disasters and overcoming tribulations. So I helped you make up for it."
Xu Ying handed him the completed scriptures, stretched and said with a smile, "If you practice according to the original scriptures, although your soul is powerful and your spirit is extraordinary, it will still be difficult to survive the disaster. But according to my revised scriptures, There shouldn’t be any serious problems with your cultivation.”
Pei Du hurriedly flipped through it, and the scriptures revised by Xu Ying indeed contained many more mysteries than the previous version!
He couldn't help but froze, and after a moment, he smiled and said, "Xu Xiaoyou, please come here."
He led Xu Ying to the inner room, where he saw volumes of ancient books unfolded.
Pei Du smiled and said: "I have been having a hard time deciding on one thing these days, and that is whether to murder Xu Xiaoyou."
Xu Ying was startled. In his mind, Master Zhong said in a panic: "Calm down! The worst-case scenario is that you will be seriously injured again. I will try my best to protect you and rush out of Pei's house! But A Ying, I can't steal your blood one, three, five, I will I want four and six too!”
Pei Du said: "Xu Xiaoyou, please read these books first."
Xu Ying calmed down and stepped forward to look at them one by one. His face became more and more surprised. He couldn't help but think of Xu Jiaping, and his mind suddenly became confused and heavy.
When Pei Du saw this, he pinched his finger and placed it between Xu Ying's eyebrows, shouting: "Duh——"
With a clear drink from him, Xu Ying's scattered consciousness was immediately put into order and he was freed from the collapse of his consciousness.
Pei Du's sleeves fluttered, and every time his arms paused, the seals on his hands and fingers changed accordingly, and he said: "Xu Xiaoyou, I will teach you a set of heart-centering seals. If you encounter this kind of situation again, you can cure it yourself!"
Xu Ying followed him to learn the Heart-Returning Seal, and suddenly his ears and eyes felt sharper, and the confusion of consciousness in his mind dissipated a lot.
Xu Ying quickly thanked you, and Pei Du said seriously: "I have practiced cultivation for half my life, and I was almost trapped by greed a few days ago. My practice was ruined in one day. I should have thanked you. The Guixin Seal is just a small skill, not worth mentioning. Xu Xiao …”
He frowned slightly, feeling that it was inappropriate to call Xu Ying his little friend, so he changed his words and said, "Brother Xu, you read it first, and we will discuss it in detail later."
Xu Ying continued to read and read the folded parts of the books. He was stunned and suddenly laughed and said: "Prime Minister Pei, you don't think these immortal boys in the book are me, do you? Hahaha!"
He laughed.
Pei Du also laughed and shook his head: "I don't think so, after all, it's too absurd, but I think it is. After all, Brother Xu is so young that he can guide the white-browed ancestor to overcome the tribulation. This is too absurd. .”
Xu Ying burst into laughter and burst into tears. He raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes and said with a smile, "I don't know if my memories before I was six years old are true. I only know that my memories after six years old are true. So. I don’t know if I am the boy in these books!”
He laughed again.
Pei Du said: "Brother Xu, Gui Xin Seal."
Xu Ying activated the Guixin Seal to stabilize his mind and calm down, and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister Pei."
Pei Du shook his head and said: "You can treat each other with sincerity. Not only are you willing to teach the deciphered Yuan Shen Du Er Sutra in its entirety, but you can also make up for the shortcomings. If we can't treat each other with this sincerity, our Pei family will be worthy of being a two-thousand-year-old family. You Don't worry, our Pei family will keep this secret, and I will also help you search for more book records to help you find the mystery of your life experience."
Xu Ying bowed to thank him, and Pei Du returned the favor and said, "I don't dare. If I can avoid the disaster of life and death in the future, it will all depend on brother Xu's righteous deeds today. I want to study the Sutra of Yuan Shen to Combat Disasters, so I can't send him off in person. I let him Bihe gives it to you."
Xu Ying followed the maid Bihe out of the study and walked outside Pei's house.
The terrain of Pei Mansion is quite large, as if it contains thousands of mountains and ravines, and the layout is complicated. Xu Ying was relaxed, enjoying the scenery along the way, and suddenly saw a fairy-like place, and thought to himself: "If I could taste rouge with such a sister, It's quite pleasant. It's a pity that this is the Pei Mansion."
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw several young men coming towards him. The leader of them, the young master, smiled and said, "Are you the Xu Snake Catcher?"
Xu Ying stopped, nodded slightly, and said, "It's me."
The young master said: "I am Pei Jing from the Pei Mansion. I am the second young master. I am hosting friends in the palace today and I would like to invite you to accompany me."
Xu Ying smiled and said, "I can do anything."
The second young master, Pei Jing, waved his hand to Bi He and led him to a building facing the lake. In front of the building, there were acres of blue waves and rippling lotus leaves.
Second Young Master Pei Jing sat down with the other young gentlemen. Xu Ying was about to sit down when Second Young Master Pei Jing's face darkened and he said displeasedly: "I asked you to accompany me, do you understand what it means to accompany me? Do you have the right to sit?" Why don't you take out the snake and play with it? If you make your friends in the palace happy, I will reward you with a few silver coins!"
Xu Ying was stunned, stood up silently, came to the edge of the lake, gently raised his hand, and said: "Since you guys want to see the snake, please invite the seventh master to come out."
A small snake covered in scales swam out from between his collar, came to his fingertips, and coiled around his fingers for several weeks.
Second Young Master Pei Jing and others couldn't help laughing, pointing at Xu Ying and saying: "Sure enough, he is a snake catcher, there are really snakes on him!"
Xu Ying smiled and said, "Master Qi, you and I will dance together!"
He burst out with vitality and sacrificed the small snake on his fingertips. Suddenly, a violent aura like ancient times filled the air. The small snake got bigger and bigger, reaching a hundred feet long in an instant. Its huge body slowly swam on the lake.
Xu Ying's sleeves danced, and the big snake's body rose gradually, getting higher and higher, with brilliant sword energy all over its body, flying around it.
The big snake swam in the air, setting off gusts of wind. It looked like a dragon or a python, but it had two black and white horns on its head and a mane like a dragon flag on its back, flying in the wind.
Xu Ying was dancing with his sleeves in front of the building, and suddenly he saw the big snake swooping down, its sword energy getting stronger and stronger, and it arrived in front of the building in an instant!
In the building, the second young master Pei Jing suddenly changed and stood up in a hurry. Several other young masters also got up in a hurry, each using all his skills to resist!
"boom!"
The whole building exploded, sword energy poured out, and everyone fell and flew away, falling into the water, in a miserable state!
Xu Ying laughed loudly and walked to the ruins of the building. He saw that the table was still there and the banquet was not messed up. So he grabbed the meat and ate it. After eating it happily, he picked up the wine bottle and drank. He said with a smile: "I'm coming to your house. I'm a guest, and even the Prime Minister wants to be polite to me. Who do you think you are? You want to humiliate me?"
——Thank you to Zhicai Yimeng for another golden cute reward! !
