Journey Through the East: The Peony Fairy

The shepherd boy who watched Qingniu stood on the stone table, sighed heavily: "Oh!" Then he stood up and walked to Tieguai Li's side, seeing Tieguai Li drinking elegantly, he felt weird no matter how he looked at it He couldn't help saying, "Tieguai Li, why do you drink wine as if you are drinking tea?"

"I am like this, why? Do you have any objections? I am elegant, elegant, do you understand?" Tieguai Li took down the jug and looked at Han Zhongli and said.

After hearing this, the cowherd boy said jokingly: "I don't understand elegance, but I know you must be extremely depressed now. Master, I really can't wait any longer. It's already the sixth day, and my mother is sick at home. , I wanted to go back to see him, so I had no choice but to bury you, but I didn't expect my mother to leave me after returning home, I'm really an unfaithful and unfilial person." She said and looked at him With this appearance, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Don't tell me you look like this, you are really old and ugly."

"You!" Tieguai Li stared at him angrily but couldn't say a word.

Qingniu on the side looked at the shepherd boy who was in charge of him and Tieguai Li were arguing with each other, feeling very happy in his heart, hehe, while they didn't notice me, I might as well go to the mortal world to have a good time , Thinking of these, he secretly went down to earth.

The cowboy didn't notice the movement on the other side at all, and was still chatting with the cowboy enthusiastically, only to see him pat his face lightly: "I bet!"

"Master, can I not descend to the mortal world?" The cowherd boy asked reluctantly, pouted.

The Taishang Laojun pretended to shake his head helplessly: "This is not allowed. You didn't watch Qingniu and let him sneak down to the earth. The Jade Emperor was already furious. If I hadn't interceded for you, I'm afraid you would have been reincarnated as a human being." Neither."

"But there is nothing better than heaven in the world." Naturally, the cowherd boy knew it but he still asked a little bit unwillingly.

"Hey, you should be content with this, and I should say you should have ended up like this, and you're not as unlucky as I am." Tieguai Li shook his head, took a sip of his wine with the gourd in his hand.

"Go, if you go down to earth to do good deeds, it would be bad luck, then wouldn't I be even more unlucky?" Although the cowherd boy knew that this was not what Tieguai Li was referring to, he intentionally misinterpreted the meaning of his words.

Donghua Shangxian leaned back on the pillar and said lightly: "It's just time for a cup of tea, you can go back to heaven soon."

"What kind of tea?" The cowherd boy asked with a puzzled face.

"Silly apprentice, don't you forget that one day in the sky and one thousand years in the world, isn't it time for you to come back for a cup of tea? I will not be your master by then." Taishang Laojun looked at the terrified expression on the cowherd boy's face He smiled and said, "You will be one of the Eight Immortals when you come back again, but your master is Donghua Shangxian."

"Ah?" The cowherd boy said in surprise after hearing this, pointing at him and shaking his head like a rattle, "I don't want him to be my master."

"Okay, time is running out, it's time for you to go to the world, go down." Taishang Laojun didn't want to listen to his apprentice anymore, so he cast a spell and threw him to the samsara road leading to the mortal world among.

The cowherd boy knew that his descent to the world was a foregone conclusion, so he accepted his fate, but he still did not forget to fight for the welfare of his reincarnation in the human world, and shouted loudly: "Master, I want to devote myself to the rich and noble family, don't let me devote myself to the poor." Home, I don't want to suffer, I bet..." And so the voice of the cowherd boy became smaller and smaller, until finally he couldn't hear clearly.

As Taishang Laojun said, "one day in the sky, one thousand years in the world", it has been more than [-] years since the seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter have changed in the blink of an eye.

An embarrassing general of the Tang Dynasty led his brothers to check whether the enemy army was still alive, and finally found that the Turkic man in white leaning on the stone was still beating, and he couldn't help but ecstatically said: "Haha, it's so good that he There is help."

"What? You want to save him?" His two brothers shouted with their eyes wide open as if they had seen a ghost, "Aren't you crazy?"

"Yes, I'm crazy, I just want to save him." The general laughed loudly, and beat his chest vigorously with his hands, "If you want to kill him, then kill me first, otherwise , I will never let you kill him."

"I think you're really crazy." The two soldiers looked at each other in disbelief, then shook their sleeves angrily and left.

"Brother, wake up quickly." The general gently pushed Donghua, who had turned into a barbarian, onto the immortal road.

"Why do you want to save me? If you kill me, you will be able to make meritorious service, and you can also be promoted to a higher position. Why waste this opportunity?" Hu Ren asked aggressively after waking up.

The general looked up to the sky with a face full of remorse and laughed loudly: "Haha, it was because I wanted to make meritorious service that my brothers died. I am a sinner, and I don't want anyone to die."

"Are you not afraid that I will repay you and kill you? I am a barbarian, but you are a Han. It is like a left hand and a right hand, pointing in two different directions, north and south? "The barbarian said with his eyes wide open, hating iron for being weak.

After hearing this, the general looked down at his left and right hands, and muttered to himself: "My left hand, my right hand, Han people and Hu people, my left hand cannot be separated from my body, and neither can my right hand. Leaving any one will feel pain, that's why the left hand and right hand can't coexist peacefully and hold each other together. Why do Han people and Hu people have to be so clearly distinguished? Anyway, they are all human beings, so why can't Han people and Hu people be peaceful? Get along, what does fame and wealth matter to me?"

After hearing this, the Hu man touched his nose with relief, and put one on his chest for a while, and saw a stone tablet of "Patriarch Donghua" appeared by the river not far away, and the dharma body of Shangxian Donghua also appeared on it. in front of the general.

"Great kindness, what you said is right. The common people in the world are one body. How to divide you and me, and how to divide Hu Han? Fame and wealth are but a fleeting cloud. Only with compassion can you achieve greatness. Cowboy boy, I didn't break my promise. I said it was one." A cup of tea is a cup of tea." Shangxian Donghua said with a smile.

The general stared wide-eyed in horror, sat down on the ground, and pointed at Shangxian Donghua tremblingly: "You, are you a human or a demon?"

"Cowboy, we meet again." Tieguai Li, who was holding a wine gourd, laughed loudly in the general's deep heart.

"You, who are you?" The general felt that today was the day he was the most frightened.

Tieguai Li smiled and said, "I'm Tieguai Li, I bet you! Do you remember?"

The general patted his face lightly and said, "I bet!" Then he stood up and asked full of doubts, "How do you know my mantra?"

"Boy Mu Niu, from today onwards you will be my apprentice of Donghua Shangxian, and you will be one of the Eight Immortals in the future." The Donghua Mountain immortal didn't want to talk nonsense, just a few times a hand appeared out of thin air in his hand. Pu Shan, "Look, this is your magic weapon."

"What? I can become a fairy. You lied to me, right?" The general felt that today was his luckiest day. He was so lucky that even he himself couldn't believe it, so he pointed at himself and asked doubtfully.

"Hehe, don't hurry up to learn from your teacher." Tieguai Li lightly tapped the general with his crutch and said with a smile.

"Disciple pays homage to master!" the general said happily, convinced that the pie that fell from the sky fell on him.

Donghua Shangxian smiled and threw the treasure to his new apprentice and said with a smile: "Haha, good, from today on you will be called Han Zhongli!"
