I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

To count or not to count?Then it has nothing to do with the children who are going to the Buddhist interest class.

Pei Xiang stuffed his son who had finished breakfast together with his small package into the carriage, then locked the courtyard door, and sent the child to Huasheng Temple to attend an interest class together with Erlang Zhenjun.

"Wuji, study hard with Master Ciming, maybe the Buddhist scriptures will tell you whether or not to count."

"What if you didn't tell me?"

"That means you are still young, and the Buddha thinks that it is not appropriate to allow you to develop wisdom roots through psychic apertures too early."

"Then when is it considered young? How many years do I have to wait? Hey, no, mother, you can tell me the answer directly."

"It's boring to know the answer directly, Wuji, you need to discover the truth yourself. In short, the more books you read, the more you have experienced, the more life experience you have, and some things will naturally come to your senses."

"Mother, these words seem to be lying to a three-year-old child. In fact, don't you just want me to study hard and not waste my subjects?"

"Wrong, mother's words are of course not lying to a three-year-old child," Pei Xiang smiled softly. She first glanced at the silly son sympathetically, and then said confidently, "I am fooling a seven-year-old child." .”

Wuji suddenly puffed up his cheeks, turned his head suddenly to look at the scenery outside the car window, and decided to ignore Pei Xiang for the time being.

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and took out a large piece of sesame fudge from Wuji's snack basket and tasted it.She ate sweetly and was in a leisurely mood.Because in this way, she could stay quietly on the way from home to Huasheng Temple, and she didn't have to answer all kinds of weird questions from her children.

Yang Jian, who was riding a horse outside the car, knew exactly what happened inside the car.He glanced at the little guy lying in front of the car window curiously looking at the scenery on the street but kept his mouth shut and kept silent. He laughed and shook his head, but he didn't participate in the small lawsuit between the mother and son, so as not to cause "misfortune".

Sure enough, when they were about to arrive at Huasheng Temple, Pei Xiang and Wuji made up again.After the mother and son talked affectionately for a while, Wuji happily jumped out of the carriage as soon as the carriage stopped, and pulled Yang Jian to introduce Huasheng Temple to him.

The three walked into the gate of the temple, walked along the pine and cypress path, and soon saw Master Ciming who was cleaning the yard himself.After greeting each other, Pei Xiang left his son in the temple according to the previous agreement.

After leaving Huasheng Temple, Pei Xiang asked the driver to drive back by himself.

"The weather is nice in the morning, let's go for a walk."

Yang Jian nodded. Seeing that there were a lot of people on the road, he played a trick, and then patted the white horse in his hand.

The horse received Yang Jian's order, and when it neighed, it had wings on its back and hooves on the auspicious clouds. It flew into the mid-air within a dozen breaths, and then turned into a swift streamer, disappearing in the clouds in an instant.

It wasn't until Longju and Tianma disappeared that Yang Jian removed the blindfold.From the beginning to the end, passers-by did not find any abnormalities.

For the next part of the journey, the two walked slowly side by side, occasionally talking a few words, not many words, but every sentence was very speculative.In fact, most of the time, the two of them are very quiet and at ease. They just accompany the people around them to see the scenery far and near, and enjoy the flowers along the way.

When he reached the fork in the road, Yang Jian turned his head and asked, "Which way to go next?"

Pei Xiang looked around and asked without choosing a route, "Zhenjun, have you had your meal in the morning?"

"Not yet."

Pei Xiang's eyes lit up, and he proposed briskly:

"Then let's have a bowl of Zhao Ji's mutton soup first. It should be quite good with his thin-skinned shrimp buns, shortbread in sugar sauce and some cold pickles."

Looking at Pei Xiang's expectant expression, Yang Jian asked curiously, "You haven't had breakfast either? I think Wuji has."

Pei Xiang waved his hands with a smile and explained:

"In order to show his piety, the little guy decided to start a vegetarian diet this morning until he returned from Huasheng Temple. I support his decision and respect his hobbies, but I don't intend to participate in it and wrong myself, so I didn't give it to him this morning. Prepare breakfast by myself. Originally, I planned to wait for Wuji to go to the temple, and then find a good-reputed breakfast shop in this bustling city of Chang'an, and have a delicious, hot and delicious meal."

The corner of Yang Jian's mouth curved slightly, and his heart was indeed in this familiar style.

In the past few years, Erlang Zhenjun watched Pei Xiang raise Xiao Wuji, and he had a lot of feelings because of the interaction between their mother and child.Unknowingly, some knots in his heart gradually unraveled, and his Dao heart became more stable and clear.The last time I went to see Master Yu Ding Zhenren, I was also praised that my cultivation has greatly improved.

"Then let's go. That Zhaoji restaurant can be so remembered by Fellow Daoist Yin, there must be something unique. I think I am lucky today."

Seeing Zhenjun Erlang nodding, Pei Xiang immediately showed the way, and also introduced several other long-established shops with exquisite craftsmanship and secret recipes...

Coming out of Zhao Ji's food shop, Pei Xiang squinted her eyes comfortably, eating and drinking enough. She felt that she finally had the strength to go shopping, so she discussed the next itinerary with Yang Jian.

"When was the last time Zhenjun came to Chang'an? Is there a good place with a good impression? Maybe it would be good to visit again."

Looking at the gradually increasing number of pedestrians on the street and the increasingly magnificent and dazzling real dragon spirit in the direction of the palace, Yang Jian said in a flat tone:

"I haven't been here for a while. The last time was probably during the Sui Dynasty. This place was called Daxing City, but there were not many signs of prosperity. Now this place is prosperous and beautiful, and everywhere you look is full of prosperity. .”

Pei Xiang: ...Sure enough, you shouldn't talk about time with the gods.

"Okay, then you and I will go around the Shusi area first, and then find a local young gentleman to inquire about the situation."

Yang Jian looked down at Pei Xiang's expression, and felt that the word "young" was a bit subtle.

Pei Xiang smiled back, his bright eyes were kind, innocent and pure.

Yang Jian thought the smile was beautiful and innocent, but he couldn't help but let out a silent sigh.He thought to himself, it seems that he didn't think too much, Daoyou Yin did tease his age slightly just now, otherwise he wouldn't have laughed so innocently, because it was obviously unreasonable.

Fortunately, at this time, Pei Xiang had been distracted by the shops on the street, and did not notice Yang Jian's thoughtfulness.Otherwise, the two of them probably wouldn't be able to play easily today.

——It must be cleared up first, why is the little fairy not innocent, innocent, or innocent?

"Friend Yin, the road to the book shop is on the other side."

"Wait a minute, Zhenjun, I want to go to Xiangfu Pavilion, which sells jewelry first."

"Don't worry, it's just playing casually, and there is no fixed place to go."

"Thank you, Zhenjun, for your understanding. Then... I will come according to my own wishes. If Zhenjun feels bored, you can leave first."

"It's okay, let's go and have a look."

Half an hour later, Pei Xiang turned from Xiangfu Pavilion where jewelry was sold to Linglong Building diagonally opposite, and then, on the recommendation of the shopkeeper of Linglong Building, he went to Ruixiangxuan next door that sold rouge and gouache.After returning from Ruixiangxuan with a full load, Pei Xiang walked into the largest cloth shop with great interest...

When it was close to noon, Pei Xiang and Yang Jian walked into a time-honored restaurant based on the recommendation of the Buzhuang clerk.

After the dishes were served, Pei Xiang smiled and took a bite of the most tender and delicious fish for Yang Jian, and said in a warm voice, "The exhausted Zhenjun accompanied me for a whole morning."

Yang Jian took a sip of tea: "Fortunately, Yang has hardly been to these places before. Even if he went in to buy something, he paid the bill and left in a hurry. He has never been so selective and haggling as today. This experience It’s kind of novel and interesting.”

Pei Xiang asked curiously: "If mortal women want to buy clothes and jewelry, they will come to these shops to choose. How do the fairies in the sky or the dragon girls in the sea buy daily clothes and supplies? They also have such a fixed shop?"

Yang Jian thought for a while and replied seriously:

"In every blessed place, there are practitioners who are good at making these daily delicate things... There are probably fixed places where fairies often trade, but I didn't pay much attention to it before.

"I only know that most of my clothes and supplies were donated by the monsters and ghosts under my protection, or that Guo Shen and the others used the wealth I gained from the war to exchange and buy them overseas in Penglai Xiandao and other places.

"Of course, some of them are rewarded by the heavens. Those... Heh, they don't want to give me the six brothers of Meishan and the [-] Caotou gods under their command, and they have to rely on us to slay demons and eliminate evil, so every time they do it. Reward us with a large number of strange pearls and treasures for our military exploits. In this way, life in Guanjiangkou is quite comfortable."

Pei Xiang nodded slowly, chewed and swallowed a mouthful of vegetables.

To be honest, rather than finding out Zhenjun Erlang's source of income and wealth, she actually wanted to know where the fairies buy fabrics to make clothes, or ask where the jewelry they wear came from and who designed it?After all, as a beautiful little fairy who loves beauty, she is more curious about the daily life of big fairies.

"Forget it, I asked the wrong person." Pei Xiang thought.

After eating six minutes full, Pei Xiang and Yang Jian communicated more frequently at the dinner table.The two of them didn't go to Chengshu Store in the morning, but spent their time shopping.For some reason, even in the afternoon, I didn't have much thought to go to the bookstore to find books. Instead, I wanted to go to Ximen Street in Chang'an City. It is said that there is also very lively.

After the meal, the two paid the bill and left, turned right when they went out, and walked in the shade of a tree avoiding the sun.

On the way, Pei Xiang bought a bouquet of flowers and gave half of it to Yang Jian.

After walking for a short distance, Yang Jian bought half a basket of fresh fruits that quenched his thirst at first glance. After washing them with clean springs, he also shared half with Pei Xiang.So, the two stopped again, standing under the shade of a tree by the side of the road, slowly nibbling on the fruit.

Stopping and walking, until a dark cloud came from nowhere and covered the sun, Pei Xiang and Yang Jian finally reached West Street.

"Hey, there is a fortune teller here."

Pei Xiang looked at the signboard with characters and names behind the fortune teller, and fixed his eyes on the three characters "Yuan Shoucheng".Suddenly, she wondered, could this Yuan Shoucheng be the fortune teller who bet with the Dragon King of Jinghe in "Journey to the West"?

——This person was able to confirm the above content before the Jade Emperor issued the decree, which shows that his hexagram skills are extremely brilliant.

At this time, it was still more than ten years before the Dragon King of Jinghe was beheaded for violating Tiantiao in the story, and Mr. Yuan's reputation was probably not as great as later.The surroundings were deserted, and no one asked Yuan Shoucheng for advice, but Yuan Shoucheng sat still, closed his eyes and said nothing, and seemed to have fallen asleep, which made some guests who wanted to move stopped.

"Mr. Yuan," Pei Xiang approached, and asked politely, "Can I do divination today?"

Yuan Shoucheng slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Pei Xiang's face clearly, he frowned suddenly, and there seemed to be puzzlement in his eyes, but it was fleeting.

"What does this lady want to ask?"

Pei Xiangdao: "I'll ask the teacher."

Yuan Shoucheng nodded slightly, and was about to make a hexagram when he suddenly stopped his movements in a deep thought.

After a moment of silence, he asked again:

"Madam, can you explain in more detail? Is this sect... from the past or the future?"

Pei Xiang smiled slightly: "In the future. Please pass on a lesson to me, Mr. Yuan, to see if I have the opportunity to learn from a teacher within a hundred years."

"Lady later."

After asking Pei Xiang clearly about his thoughts, Yuan Shoucheng made up his mind immediately. This time, he no longer felt the hesitation and ambiguity before.

After a cup of tea, Yuan Shoucheng looked at the hexagram in front of him and said slowly:

"Lady, the hexagram has been revealed, but forgive Yuan for being ignorant, and I have never heard of the place where this hexagram shows."

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows, leaned slightly and asked, "Where does the hexagram indicate?"

Yuan Shoucheng said: "Go west, Wuzhuang, see the world."

Hearing this, Pei Xiang was slightly taken aback, and she almost didn't need to think much, she deduced the immortal power represented by these words.

"It's the Great Immortal Zhenyuan from Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain..." Pei Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and thought, "It turned out to be him, the ancestor of the earth immortal. So, in the future... I will worship under his sect ?”

At the same time, Zhenjun Erlang behind Pei Xiang also thought of the answer.He was actually more familiar with Zhen Yuanzi than Pei Xiang, after all, Pei Xiang had only heard about the other party's deeds and fame from the stories, while Erlang Zhenjun had met the ancestor of the Earth Immortal.

He immediately sent a voice transmission to Pei Xiangdao: "It's Zhenyuan Daxian, he is the guest of my master Yuanshi Tianzun. Zhenyuan Daxian's Daochang Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang Temple is located in Xiniu Hezhou. In the temple, there is a spiritual root that opened up the world. 'Cao Huan Dan', also known as 'Small Ginseng Fruit', eats one, and has a lifespan of 7000 years."
