Young Master

There is more than enough to see Jizhou, how can I seek it across the world?Thinking of my husband, I take a deep breath, and my heart is heavy with exhaustion. 【Note 1】

Another burst of red snake twisted wildly.

Then, there was silence in the room.

The number of damaged bookcases is considerable, and yellowed book paper and wood chips are scattered all over the place.

"Pei Xi..." Sure enough, she still followed. "Didn't I ask you to wait for me in the room?"

"Waiting for you? Heh! If I didn't follow, would you be able to see the light emitted by Tomorrow Dong-kun?"

Really, even if you have the right to prolong life for people, you must comply with the law of reincarnation and the conservation law of exchanging virtue for blessing.

"Pei Xi, the situation won't be serious enough to kill me."

Piaofeng thought that what he did was just to let the woman borrow the "virtue" of the afterlife in advance.Although in the afterlife after death, you will work hard for the "blessings" that you have received in this life, all of this is quite worthwhile compared to suffering from illness and pain for a long time in this life.

Perhaps Pei Xi thought that she wanted to bless others for no reason, so she couldn't hold back her temper and made a move.

"Hey, you... just drew your sword." Even if it was only for a moment, Pei Xi could still see it very clearly.Obviously, Piaofeng wanted to keep the wooden cabinet behind him that stored the life and death information of the woman.

"Pei Xi, I just don't want to hurt myself, I didn't mean to hurt you."

"I know." After all, after the whip tail moved away from him, Piaofeng let the long sword sheath quickly again.

"Pei Xi, the best way I can think of is to let Yue Chen and Mu Xia go through this life hand in hand. Let their fate decide what will happen in the future."

"I won't allow it." Once a precedent is set, it is hard to guarantee that there will not be a second or third time.Once human beings have selfish desires that they cannot grasp by themselves, they will turn to the gods.Regardless of whether the gods agree or not, they cannot change the current situation of mortals' licentiousness.In short, Piaofeng must not be allowed to violate the laws of the heavens for lowly mortals, not to mention that his relationship with him has finally improved recently...

So...he didn't expect to see one of the nine great gods dismissed at next year's official banquet, and he had to work with a stranger who was still below him.

"Pei Xi, it's fine this time, please listen to me."

"I don't want it." Not for mortals, not for something that carries the risk of violating the law...

"Pei Xi, the reason why I ordered you to stay in the room is that I hope that I can complete this matter independently. In this case, even if the superiors blame you, you won't do anything about it."

"Don't think about it! Now I know, if I don't stop you... we will be convicted together, and then I will be chopped into pieces by my father and thrown into the white water to feed the fish. That's it, you want to succeed The happiness of those two mortals is less than 70 years based on human time, or the safety of our family that can last up to a thousand years?"

No matter how you estimate it, the latter is more cost-effective, right?Pei Xi thought about it.

Seeing Pei Xi's persistent attitude, Piaofeng felt a little anxious.He originally thought that this matter would not necessarily be so serious that he would lose his official rank, but it was the first time in the heavens that he borrowed the virtues of the next life to create the blessings of this life.

If you don't do it well, it will really make things big...

"Hey, what is your decision...?" Seeing that Piaofeng hesitated, Pei Xi wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to pursue.If he insists on changing the book of life and death, then he can simply be whipped to save himself from trouble, and after he falls asleep, he will go back to his room to deal with the witch priest and Yuechen.

Of course, the fastest way is to let the whip hit Yuchen's heart veins directly, so that he can't maintain the activities of only having a soul without a body, so that the three souls and seven souls will directly fall back into the human world.

Furthermore, this red whip is made of life silk, whether it is hard or soft, it is completely taken from the thoughts of the user.Fighting purely by force, Pei Xi knew that he was definitely not Piaofeng's opponent.Piaofeng is full of emotions and thinks a lot. This kind of person is most likely to be hurt by Ming Siluo. On the other hand, Ming Siluo can't hurt half of the ruthless and cold characters like Donghuang and father.

"Pei Xi..." After a while, Piaofeng finally spoke again.

"what?"

"Did you feel it? A celestial being with high divine power entered the palace... just now."

"Huh? Do you know who it is?" What should I do if I realize that Yuechen is here?

"This feeling... There are clouds, water curtains and soft glow, I think it should be screen shadow." If it is him, you can feel relieved. "Pei Xi, let's go."

Piaofeng took his hand and pulled him out of the room where life and death materials were stored.And in his other hand, he was still holding a scroll with Mu Xia's life and death dates inside.

Jun Yunzhong was waiting in the office, while Qianjian and the others were serving tea.

"Pingyi, why are you free to come today?" Piaofeng really didn't understand the motive of his visit.

Yue Chen was still standing aside, Pei Xi really wanted to send him outside to avoid it, but unfortunately, Yue Chen didn't understand what his unkind eyes were implying.

"It's nothing, I just came to care about this guest who came from afar." After finishing speaking, Yun Zhongjun turned around and gave Pei Xi a polite smile. "Young Commander, it's been a long time since I took the official banquet, is everything alright?"

"Very well, thank you for your concern." Pei Xi forced herself to smile.This is diplomatic rhetoric, even if life is not very good, there is no way to answer the truth.

Yun Zhongjun continued: "Then, I'll directly explain why I came here. This man walked past my residence this morning. Due to the rules of heaven, I can't bring him here directly."

"It turns out that you were sitting on the shore fishing at that time..."

"That's right, it's me." Yun Zhongjun turns into a moon every night, which is completely different from his image in the daytime, so people who aren't familiar with him can't tell the difference. "After a moment, Xihe will drive back to Yanxi Mountain. At that time, the sky of the world will be in my hands. Wu Ji, take advantage of this time to go back, I will quickly open another secret cloud for you with the cut-off scissors the way of the river, and make the night your shield."

"But...but..."

"I know the purpose of your trip, and the two commanders have done their best. Your request will disrupt the order of the heavens and cause partiality and injustice in the samsara system. Please go back, I am the cloud god and the moon god I beg you to return to the human world and benefit thousands of suffering beings. Witch Ji, your virtue and thought will surely lead the destiny and change the established track.”

“…………”

"Yu Chen..." Piao Feng also said immediately: "We also ask you to go back as the commander. It is not a serious matter to resign and offend me. I am afraid that in the future, mortals will save on personnel matters. Work hard and seek our Gods in the heavenly world."

Afterwards, it was Pei Xi who said, "If you go back now, the Eastern Emperor probably won't blame you. If it's later, maybe the words in the book of life and death will change..." The meaning is half urging, half asking threat.

“…………”

Yuechen remained silent.After about half a cup of tea, he finally said softly and softly, "I understand, I won't bother you great gods anymore. I feel really sorry for bothering you for a long time."

"No." Piaofeng said.

"Okay, now Xi He has gone back. Ji Wu, please come with me."

"Yes." Yuechen was so desperate that he almost fainted, but he still supported his body with willpower, not letting it fall down.

"Si Li, Si Le, let's see off the guests." Piao Feng said.

"Yes!"

When Yun Zhongjun stepped out of the room, he didn't forget to look back at Pei Xi, this poor and unloved child in Mrs. Xiang's mouth, the life that came into the world for atonement...

"Excuse me... what's the matter?" Pei Xi was very puzzled.

"Well, let's talk about it later. If you have time, please come to the Shou Palace at the end of the Cloud River to find me."

"I understand, I will go someday."

"Okay, let's see you later. Master Shao, don't forget what you pointed at..."

"Huh?" Pei Xi wanted to go up to him and ask him to understand, but Yun Zhongjun had already closed the door. "Finger...?" Pei Xi raised her left palm to look, but there was nothing there.However, he has another hand.

Indeed, there was a looming red silk thread hanging from the last knuckle of his little finger, which would not come off no matter how much he pulled.This thing, could it be...?

"Hey, I have it too..." Piaofeng exclaimed in amazement. "Pei Xi, could this be..."

...Ming Siluo? !

Piaofeng was still surprised there, but Pei Xi felt that Master Lei struck a thunderbolt from directly above his head, numb his whole body and suspend his thoughts.

And... the first person to find out about this was Yun Zhongjun Pingyi.But... Didn't it mean that the life silk can't wrap around the knuckles of heaven and man?Could it be that Yue Lao deceived himself?No, but everyone in the heavens thinks so.

Alas, no matter what the details are, he has to try to break this annoying tie.

※※※

Mrs. Xiang will come to the Heavenly Palace once every seven days, and stay with Xiang Jun in the Xiangshui Spirit Point for the rest of the time.

Not long after the Yuechen incident ended, Piaofeng received an imperial edict written by the Eastern Emperor himself from the official of the Holy Luan Hall.Not only him, but Pei Xi and Yun Zhongjun also received it.

There are two conclusions drawn by Piaofeng: First, Donghuang really has the ability to read people's minds.Second, they may not end well.

The worst one is of course herself, followed by Ping Yi, Pei Xi didn't do anything, but tried very hard to persuade her.If the Eastern Emperor finally concludes that Pei Xi is guilty, no matter how much sacrifice he makes, he will try his best to keep his position as the young commander upright.

But Pei Xi didn't worry much about it, instead he was annoyed by the silk thread in his hand.Every day I lean on the window and look forward to the return of Mrs. Xiang, so that I can borrow the cutting shears to cut it in half and avoid the anxiety in my heart.

But... Piaofeng wants Pingyi to cut off the flow and "occupied" it for a few days. It is best not to let Pei Xi borrow it.There is no other reason, but I want to play with this cute little guy beside me.

"Ah, I didn't expect you to love him so much." When Piaofeng went to Shougong at the end of Yunhe, Pingyi gave him an ambiguous smile.

"Hey, there are thousands of forms of heaven and man, so I won't fall in love with this ruthless brat. It's better to like you, Dongjun is really happy."

"Oh." Hearing Xihe's title, Yun Zhongjun frowned slightly. "You say that now, but will you say that again in the future? I'm so envious. Two people who don't have "admiration" will be tied to each other by Ming Siluo. This is a special case that only happens once in tens of millions of years. ..."

"Hey, it sounds like...it seems that you really want to take a few to play with." Piaofeng teased.

"Oh, don't worry about me. If you don't cut it now, you will keep cutting it when you really fall in love. "Nian" can make silk as strong as iron, and I'm afraid that even if you cut it off, you won't be able to cut it off."

"Oh, really? If it becomes like that, then so be it." Sounds like fun.

"That's right, I would like to ask you...how did you get Mingsiluo wrapped around your knuckles?"

If he could know the method, Yun Zhongjun would really like to do the same.Of course, you have to pretend that you let it slip on by accident.

"This... well, if you ask me, I actually don't know." Piaofeng scratched his head and smirked.

He wanted to ask Pei Xi what happened more than once, but let alone asking straight to the point, as soon as the relevant words were mentioned, the little guy would sulk and ignore others, no matter how nice he was to ask Useless, and finally simply give up.

That day, Pei Xi fought with herself in the database room.The red whip slammed hard at himself, but the target was not himself, but the wooden cabinet behind him where the life and death records were stored.If the book of life and death is destroyed, it will take a lot of time to reorganize it. In this way, Piaofeng will not be able to change the woman's life and fortune.

For the sake of the petty officials in the Siming Palace, Piaofeng grabbed Pei Xi's whip with one hand to prevent the books on the bookcase from being damaged again.At this time, Pei Xi pulled her hand, letting the whip return to her side.Maybe...he let the little finger of his right hand touch the Mingsiluo at that time, and then, Pei Xi pulled the red thread back to his hand, and accidentally slipped it on.

In short, all these are coincidences among coincidences, even more coincidental than being hit by the Thunder Master's random thunder while walking on the road of the heavenly world (not the human world).However, as long as Donghuang doesn't blame him, everything will be fine.

When Yun Zhongjun heard this, he almost couldn't breathe from laughing, so he could only say intermittently: "Haha, I really don't know... Should I say you are lucky, or... unlucky?"

"If you really fell in love with that ruthless brat, it would be considered unfortunate." Piaofeng replied without hesitation.

That guy... As long as he encounters something he doesn't like, he will fall on his head with a whip.If it weren't for the fact that the life of a celestial being is much harder than that of a human being, would he still be alive today?

"Forget about him," Piaofeng pouted. "I'm going to meet the Eastern Emperor tomorrow, are you prepared? Or, you don't care about such a thing at all?"

"Hmm..." Yun Zhongjun finally put away his smile and changed to a slightly more serious expression. "Actually, I don't think it's a big deal to protect the body of the witch priest. It may be more serious to get the red thread entangled. And... if there is a little thought in your mind that goes beyond the rules of heaven, even if it is just a fleeting moment Suspense... the Eastern Emperor will have a panoramic view."

"Uh..." Didn't these words tell him clearly-there is only a dead end for this trip?

Yun Zhongjun saw that Piaofeng's face was a little dignified, so he wanted to make a joke to make him happy.

"If...if I'm going to be found guilty, I really hope I can be relegated to the Sun Palace, cleaning and cooking next to Xihe..."

"You have a good idea!" Piaofeng scolded.Wait, cleaning, cooking...?It sounds like a job that doesn't require brains, and that's not bad, as long as the master is understanding and generous.Um……

For some reason, a picture of Pei Xi dissatisfied with overturning the table because he thought his food was too unpalatable suddenly appeared in Piaofeng's mind, and a chill went from the soles of his feet to his spine.

※※※

Yuelao had been staying in the Holy Luan Hall for a long time.

They came early, Donghuang had just gotten up, and several maidservants were busy helping him change his clothes and freshen up.

"Pei Xi..."

"Grandpa Qixiu, why are you here?" They haven't seen each other for a long time since the official banquet.Not only Yuelao, Pei Xi also hasn't seen Yueming for a long time.

"I came here on the order of Lord Donghuang. He expected that you must have many things to ask me." Yuelao said.

"Oh, there are too many things." Piaofeng once again confirmed his assumption that "the Eastern Emperor has the ability to spy on people's hearts".

"I also have something to ask you." The person who spoke was Yun Zhongjun Pingyi.

"I know what you want to ask. Three great gods, please sit down first." Yue Lao first invited the three to sit down on the guest chairs set up beside the hall, and continued to say after the maid made the tea: "About 900 years ago... There was also a red thread tied to the knuckles of heaven and man, and that time was more mysterious than this time. These two people are the Lord Donghuang and the Queen of Heaven, and I was the old man at that time. There was no warning, neither of them touched Si Luo, but I found that... the bundle of red thread I carried with me disappeared. When I found it, the thread could no longer be removed from the two of them. It's that weird."

"Then, was there any so-called 'admiration' between the Eastern Emperor and the Empress Dowager at that time?" Yun Zhongjun asked.

"Yes. So some people speculate that this is caused by strong "power" and "thought". We know that the bloodline of the Eastern Emperor is the most precious among the heavenly beings. Therefore, it can affect Mingsiluo and determine their own marriage. But...the situation of the two commanders cannot be explained by this theory.”

"Is that so..." Pei Xi felt a little dazed and helpless.

But Piaofeng thought, since Donghuang is also bound by the red thread, he and Pei Xi shouldn't be blamed for this matter.However, it is difficult to say about the book of life and death...

"Master Donghuang is here—!"

The white-haired and red-faced ceremony officer yelled in a long, smooth voice.

The four of them were about to stand up and salute, but Donghuang hurriedly waved them to sit down.

Today's Eastern Emperor is not dressed in brocade clothes, yellow robes and gold crowns at the official banquet, but in simple and elegant white clothes.Instead of walking to the throne, he sat on the guest chair opposite the four of them.

"I called you here mainly for a few things. Naturally, I will not blame the red line. As for the detailed reasons, I have sent all the historians to read the classics and study the changes in the galaxy and the sky. If there is any progress, I will send Someone told the two of you."

"Thank you, Master Donghuang!" Piaofeng and Pei Xi stood up and bowed at the same time to express their gratitude.

"Uh..." Feeling that the other party's actions were exactly the same as their own, both of them sat down pretending to be nonchalant.

"Ha. It's a pity. If Cixian is still alive, he can compose a love song for the two of you. What a pity, what a pity..." Donghuang smiled, and suddenly recalled the time when he and Tianhou first met.

"Excuse me, senior Lingjun..." Pei Xi asked, why did Donghuang's words mean that Lingjun is no longer in the heaven?So, where is his destination between heaven and earth?

"Don't panic, this is Cixian's own wish. A few days ago, "Nine Songs" was lost to the world, and... it was leaked from Siming Palace. You are busy with official duties, so you probably didn't notice it? "Nine Songs" is like Cixian's flesh and blood, it is a part of his soul. No matter what, he wants to get it back with his own ability, so he came to ask me that night-to give "virtue" to become a "man".

Become an adult? !This is not... just the opposite of the case of Yue Chen's wife borrowing virtue...

While Piaofeng was thinking "It's just to get Jiuge back, it can be done by other people's hands, why bother to enter the mortal world in person", but Pei Xi regretted something else.

If...he didn't put Jiuge on the table casually at that time, Yuechen wouldn't have taken it with him, it was all his own fault.

"It's nothing like that, young man." Donghuang said consolingly, "I'll blame that witch priest for taking away the secrets of Jiugetian Realm. Cixian never associates with anyone, only with Yueming A little closer, I'm afraid the situation in the next life will be similar to the present one. To become a man of virtue also transcends the order of heaven and earth...Who taught him to regard the words of his life as treasures, insisting on refusing to hand others, but because of his lack of spiritual power, he can't incarnate as a human being and go down to earth, so he has to go out This is the last move."

"Then... Could Lord Donghuang tell you the whereabouts of Yuchen Lingjun?" Yuelao saw that Pei Xi was anxious, so he helped him ask questions.

Donghuang glanced at Piaofeng and motioned for him to answer, on the one hand, it was also to test whether he possessed enough divine power to take on the post of chief official.

Piaofeng immediately and quickly checked the data screen in his mind to obtain information about the future of the world.This ability prevented him from spending too much time in the life and death database room of Siming Palace, and he was able to obtain the woman's biography.

"Hmm... Cixian's name in the human world is Qu Ping, another name is Yuan, and his character is also Lingjun, a doctor of the Sanlu of Chu. He served King Huai of Chu, and was released because of his loyalty. He was never rehabilitated. Jiang committed suicide. However, he compiled "Nine Songs", wrote "Li Sao" and "Nine Chapters", regardless of his literature or personality, he will become a model admired and worshiped by all generations."

"I see, but why doesn't it sound very good?" Yun Zhongjun frowned.

"But he has left his name through the ages. If he thinks it's good, that's enough, right? Besides, he will return to the sky after death, right? Pei Xi..." Yuelao quickly directed the focus to the good one one side.

"Yes, yes..." Anyway, it's not like they won't see each other again, 50 years in the human world are actually only a few months in the sky, thinking of this, Pei Xi felt a little relieved.

"Now you understand." Donghuang continued: "The other thing has to go back to the source of the theft of Jiuge - Jiwu Yuechen."

Upon hearing this name, the three people other than Yuelao felt panicked.

"This incident made me re-emphasize the division between heaven and man. Pingyi, can you build a barrier around the four ends of the cloud river so that future human beings will never be able to enter the heaven?"

"Okay, Yuchen will finish it as soon as possible."

"Okay, then you can be exonerated, anyway, it's not a big deal. Then there are... the two commanders."

Piaofeng and Pei Xi glanced at each other.

"Piaofeng, this matter is a bit embarrassing for you. Fortunately, you didn't do anything beyond the rules, so I feel relieved. Thanks to you, young man, if you didn't fight hard to stop it, the heavens might have opened the "exchanging virtues for blessings" precedent."

"Where...where..." Pei Xi didn't know if there was a hidden meaning behind the words, so she could only nod her head repeatedly.

"It's really rare, you are still so 'young', and Yue Ming has raised you so outstandingly. Hmm... I think 'that person' should be gratified if he has the opportunity to meet you."

"Huh?" Pei Xi really didn't know who the "that person" Donghuang was talking about.

Only Yue Lao understands, because he knows the inside story of Yue Ming's resignation.Donghuang's words actually contain two keywords of the events of the year, one is "that person" - Dong Yu, and the other is the fact that Pei Xi is "young".

Pei Xi... It is true that he is a thousand years old according to the time of the human world, but how about according to the time of the heavenly world?

"Don't mention this." Donghuang interrupted Yuelao's thoughts. "Let's get back to the topic, because the risk is a bit taboo, if you don't punish, you will be sorry to everyone in the heavens, so I have decided, let's punish like this - since Ming Siluo has wrapped your fingers, and you also happen to hate each other, then ...I'll punish you not to take it off for life, and I can't do anything to break it. If it breaks...I will make a separate decision, is that okay?"

Hearing this, Pei Xi showed embarrassment, but Piaofeng didn't care so much, anyway, thank you first.

"The foolish minister thanked Lord Donghuang for his kindness."

"Okay, let's do it this way." Donghuang hid the smile from the corner of his mouth and continued: "Actually, I called this young man here mainly for the mission of the Secretary. Recently, there was an expert in Wushan. The devil who eats young children, she is transformed by the "resentment" of many women in the world. Young man, you must set off to the world and get rid of the evil for the world as soon as possible."

"However, Pei Xi is not good at martial arts, sending him there may be dangerous..." Before Pei Xi could speak, Piaofeng became nervous.

"Ha, don't worry." Dong Huang had expected such a reaction. "I have sent the mountain ghost, Shanmei, to go with the young man. The mountain ghost has superb bow skills and has the magical weapon "Breaking Evil". I will definitely not let the young man be in danger. What's more, doing so is in line with Ling Jun's "Nine Songs and Commander Command" It is written in "Yu long sword embraces the young Ai, and Sun Du Yi is righteous for the people. [Note 2]" Isn't it, young man?"

"Yes... yes." That's right, he must not disappoint senior Lingjun's encouragement and expectations.

"Piaofeng, although parting can erase feelings, it can also increase feelings. Please rest assured, if there is something wrong, I will send He Bohe there again. But during this period, the affairs in the Siming Mansion are very important. Please worry about it."

"Yes..." Chang Piaofeng didn't understand what he said about "erasing and growing feelings" this time.

"Young man, go back and prepare quickly. At dusk, the mountain ghost will come to pick you up in front of Siming Mansion." Donghuang said.

"Huh, so fast?" Everyone was taken aback.

"That's right, it's time to set off tonight. This is an urgent matter, young man, please be careful."

"Yes, Yuchen understands."

After that, the four of them bid farewell to Donghuang.Yun Zhongjun wanted to go back to the end of the Yunhe, and the two of Piaofeng went with him.Yuelao came here earlier in Qingyu, so it was inconvenient for them to take the cloud car together.Furthermore, because I am not among the nine great gods, doing so is against etiquette.

Donghuang stepped out of the palace gate and watched the four of them leave.Behind her, Tianhou Haili came up to her. She had a pink face and vermilion lips, and she was wearing a dark blue robe.

"Haili, tell me, is it... that the wheel of life has gone off track?"

"Ah? I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Look, Piaofeng obviously has no feelings for that young man, why did Si Luo still get entangled? If it wasn't for the derailment of the wheel of life, could it be... There are people above us who are deliberately playing with the emotions of heaven and earth ?"

"This...the concubine doesn't understand, so don't ask."

"Okay, okay." Don't ask if you don't ask, you concubines are busy serving people and don't care about business at all.

Looking at their backs going away, Donghuang thought: No matter what, the future of these two people is still intriguing.

Between love and hate, there is actually only one thought.This difference in thought creates the strength or fragility of Mingsiluo.

[Note 1] Taken from "Nine Songs of Yunzhongjun": Looking down on China from a high distance, and suddenly traveling across the world, where do you want to go?Thinking of you deeply makes me sigh and worry all day long.

[Note 2] Taken from "Jiu Ge Shao Shi Ming": holding high the long sword to protect young children, you are the true and just ruler of all peoples.
