I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Probably because the grief, indignation and despair exuded by the red-haired water monster were too strong, after Yang Jian confirmed that Pei Xiang's mother and child were safe, he set his sights on the former rolling curtain general.

"This is?"

"This is the rolling curtain general who accidentally broke the glass cup at the Pantao Festival. He became like this after being demoted to the mortal world." Pei Xiang put away the long sword in his hand and said softly, "He lives in Liusha River and relies on catching pedestrians. I don’t know how much I ate to satisfy my hunger, and I killed eight of them just by taking Buddhist scriptures. Just now, I almost hurt Master Kongwen’s life, so I gave him a lesson.”

Following Pei Xiang's words, Yang Jian looked at the tall and thin monk standing aside, and asked politely, "Is this elder Master Kongwen?"

Master Kongwen clasped his palms together and recited the Buddha's name, and then replied respectfully:

"The poor monk has heard nothing about it, and he has seen Xiansheng Zhenjun. It is true that this monster is trying to kill me this time. It is only because of the help of the Lord Yin's sword in time that the poor monk survived."

Yang Jian heard Kong Wen's defense of Pei Xiang, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"Master Kongwen, you are very polite. The monster is cruel and tyrannical, and its crimes are serious, which shocked the master. I have known Daoyou Yin for many years, so I know her very well, and I know that she will never bully the weak without reason. This monster was taught like this , there must be a reason."

After finishing speaking, he took Wuji's little hand and walked to Pei Xiang's side, and at the same time asked privately via voice transmission:

"You used your sword intent before, how do you feel now, how long can the true energy in your body last?"

Pei Xiang shook his head slightly, and made a gesture, implying that after this level of fighting, he still has the ability to protect himself, and there is no need to immediately enter the state of breath adjustment practice.

After receiving Pei Xiang's silent reply, Yang Jian looked down at the tightly bound red-haired lantern-eyed monster, and said softly:

"Since the general of the rolling curtain in the past, he is the generation who has become a fairy. Even if he is demoted to the mortal world, he should still have a true spirit. Why do you want to kill living beings and eat people to satisfy your hunger? Wouldn't it be an added crime?"

The red-haired water monster couldn't detect the close relationship between Zhenjun Erlang and Pei Xiang and others. At this time, he didn't dare to expect the Jade Emperor's nephew to help and protect him. He only hoped that the other party could say a few words for the sake of past acquaintances. With a good word, Nuonuo replied hoarsely:

"The true lord is worthy. After accidentally breaking the glass cup, the Jade Emperor punished me with eight hundred sticks, and then demoted me to the mortal world. Every seven days, I endured the pain of more than a hundred flying swords piercing my ribs. I Hungry and cold in this quicksand river, it was really hard work, and I had no choice but to go ashore and catch some passers-by to satisfy my hunger. It is really not the kind of tyrannical monster that takes pleasure in eating people. Xiansheng Zhenjun, I already know my mistake, and I hope you forgive me Sin, please save me.”

"I can't save you, and I can't forgive your sins for those who died in vain," Yang Jian flatly refused. "No matter what your reasons are, the debts have already been owed. I will not intervene in what Yin Daoyou and others are doing to you today." disposal."

"But, but they... well, I'd rather die quickly..." Hearing Yang Jian's refusal, and thinking of the threats of Pei Xiang's mother and son during the previous interrogation, the water monster suddenly looked sad, and murmured, "Now die!" It's better than suffering those terrible tortures..."

Hearing this, Pei Xiang snorted, and immediately waved his fingers together, stunned the quicksand river monster without hesitation, and didn't give him any chance to waste any more time.

When only the people on his side were left, Pei Xiang asked in detail:

"Zhenjun, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year, where are you from and where are you going?"

Yang Jian pinched the magic formula with his hands, flicked his sleeves, and conjured up tables and chairs under the shade of the trees, and invited everyone to sit down, and then replied:

"Since we parted, I have visited overseas fairy islands first, and then I was summoned by Master Yuanshi Tianzun, and I stayed in the Miro Palace in the upper Qing Dynasty for more than half a day. At this time, I want to go to Wuzhuang, Wanshou Mountain, Xiniu Hezhou. Pay homage to the Great Immortal Zhenyuan. Just passing by here, I happened to see Yin Daoyou's mother and son here, so I lowered my cloud head and came here for a while."

Hearing that Yang Jian's destination was Wuzhuang Temple, Pei Xiang's eyes turned slightly, and he said with a smile:

"Wuji and I escorted Master Kongwen to the west to learn scriptures, and we should also pass by the blessed land of the ancestor of the earth immortal. Does Zhenjun still remember the hexagrams of Mr. Yuan in Chang'an City? I plan to take this opportunity to visit and ask me There is a master-student relationship with the Great Immortal Zhenyuan."

Yang Jian nodded, expressing that he naturally remembered Yuan Shoucheng's two hexagrams, and at the same time, following Pei Xiang's words, he suggested lightly:

"Since you and I are going to Wuzhuang Temple, it happens that we can go together for a while."

Pei Xiang blinked, seeing the man on the opposite side with a calm and gentle gentleman, couldn't help but want to play tricks, so he pretended to be honest and said:

"Although we are on the same road, Zhenjun is a fairy family who rides the clouds and fog, and we are people with mortal bodies. Naturally, the speed of this journey cannot be compared. I really don't want to delay Zhenjun's trip. Why don't you ask Zhenjun to go first One step, after a month or two, the three of us will also arrive at the Wuzhuang Temple of Longevity Mountain, but we don’t know if Zhenjun is still a guest in the temple at that time. If there is a destiny, we will meet again in the future.”

Yang Jian glanced at the sly smile on Pei Xiang's lips, knowing that she didn't really hate her accompanying him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.He moved his eyes lightly, and landed on Wuji who was eating beside him, and said in a flash of inspiration:

"It's okay to walk slowly. I just took advantage of the free time on the road to test Wuji's martial arts and schoolwork. Speaking of which, I haven't checked the child's study progress for more than half a year."

Hearing Zhenjun Erlang talk about the child's academic progress, Pei Xiang pretended to think seriously for a moment, then nodded solemnly and gratefully, acquiescing to the agreement of the peers.

"Trouble Zhenjun, worry about Wuji."

Yang Jian raised his eyebrows lightly, a faint smile flashed across Feng's eyes, and said softly:

"It's not a lot of trouble. Wuji is smart, and he always understands everything. It's easy to teach him, and it's also a good enlightenment from Fellow Daoist Yin."

Pei Xiangyan said: "When it comes to the matter of enlightenment, the contribution of Zhenjun is also indispensable. I think back then..."

Wuji who was drinking water and eating: "..."

——Adults are always a little boring and vexatious. They obviously want to go together, but they have to use their children's studies as an excuse!Heh, what did the cute and cute kid do wrong?

——I want to write a letter to tell Xiaotian and Uncle Dasheng what happened today... Forget it, I won’t tell Xiaotian, every time I talk about Uncle Zhenjun with him, he can’t analyze the problem objectively and rationally. The kind of brainless fans that my mother said.

——Let me talk to Uncle Dasheng in detail about the strange communication methods of adults.Hey, in this world, probably only children and monkeys, the world is simple and unaffected.

After swallowing the last mouthful of milk-flavored steamed buns, Wuji decided to stay away from the two hypocritical adults who were having a good time talking, so he jumped off the chair and ran to observe the unconscious red-haired water monster.

He curiously touched the eight skeletons beside the water monster, his thoughts turned, and he couldn't understand why he just broke a glass cup, and the Jade Emperor would demote one of the generals around him to the mortal world, and would use it every seven days. Flying sword stab more than 100 times?

Just as Xiao Wuji was trying to explore the more complicated world of adults, Master Kongwen who was also sitting at the table touched his shiny bald head, thinking that it would be better for monks to be less tainted with the mundane world.So, he also slowly got up and squatted next to Wuji, and together with him, he began to study the unconscious Unlucky Face Water Monster.

On the other side, Pei Xiang noticed that one big and one small were squatting near the water monster, so he cast a stun spell on the water monster from a distance, making him sleep more thoroughly, so as not to wake up suddenly and scare Wuji and Master Kongwen .

Yang Jian noticed Pei Xiang's movements, and asked a little puzzled:

"You said earlier that you have a preliminary plan to deal with the death calamity. What is it? Could it be that you are escorting this elder to the Western Paradise to learn scriptures?"

Seeing that Yang Jian had chased him to the Liusha River, Pei Xiang planned to go with the three of them for a journey. Maybe there would be other reasons to continue traveling west together after arriving at Wuzhuang Temple, so he stopped hiding his thoughts and analyzed slowly:

"The two hexagrams of Mr. Yuan Shoucheng cannot be viewed separately. I went to him for divination and asked about the fate of the master. , he made another hexagram and calculated the death calamity.

"Zhenjun, this method of metaphysics, gossip and divination is actually full of omens and mysteries everywhere, and some details are implicated as hints. Therefore, I think the way to unravel the death calamity should finally be in the matter of apprenticeship.

"Just like what you and I have analyzed before, if I can become the direct disciple of the ancestor of the earth immortal, then the death calamity will naturally dissipate. Is it possible that the great immortal with the holy name 'The Same King' can accept a short-lived ghost? Is it a direct disciple?"

Yang Jian was thoughtful, raised his eyes after a while and asked:

"It is not so easy to become a direct disciple of the Great Immortal Zhenyuan. If there is no special origin or great credit, it is almost impossible. You escorted the Buddhist scriptures westward...do you want to make credit in exchange for opportunities?"

Pei Xiang smiled and nodded:

"I have made contributions to Buddhism, but I am not a member of Buddhism. How can the Buddha reward me? Wuji is the reincarnation of the Buddha. How many Taoist gods have been busy for him since he was born? Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism, although they are The three independent sects have a profound influence on each other, and there are some signs of fusion between you and me. Therefore, the credit for escorting the Buddhist scriptures may not necessarily be transformed into the success of worshiping Taiyi Xuanmen opportunity.

"Of course, there are no absolutes. If my thoughts are too taken for granted, or if Daleiyin Temple doesn't recognize this scripture learning operation at all, it's okay. Because even if there is no death calamity, I plan to personally lead Wuji Traveling around to increase knowledge. This westward journey was originally planned, and it is not a waste of effort.

"When the catastrophe comes ten years later, I may be too busy to take care of myself and have no spare energy to take care of my children. But that's no big deal, because I have taught him everything that needs to be taught, and given him all the roads that can be paved. It has been laid in advance, even without my care and reminder, I believe Wuji can live a good life..."

Yang Jian could calmly listen to Pei Xiang's analysis at the beginning, but when he heard these few words of relief that were like confessing his last words, his heart suddenly felt sour, and he hurriedly pressed Pei Xiang's hand to prevent her from continuing.

"Friend Yin...don't be pessimistic, the path you choose...can't be wrong."

"I hope so too," Pei Xiang frowned, and said softly, "With Zhenjun's good words, I will resolve the crisis. I always remember that I still owe Zhenjun a table of delicacies and fine wine."

"No, it's not just auspicious words," Yang Jian explained in a deep voice. "After we left that day, I was summoned to the Miluo Palace, and then I got a reward from the master. It was a magic weapon in the shape of a boat, which happened to be able to get through this There are three thousand weak waters in the Liusha River."

Pei Xiang was startled slightly, and immediately her eyes were bright and crystal clear. She looked at Zhenjun Erlang with burning eyes, and asked again as if confirming:

"What Zhenjun means is that the Great Heavenly Lord suddenly summoned you to give you a reward, and this reward can just solve my current predicament?"

Yang Jian nodded slightly, made another silent gesture, and then repeated the conversation between him and Yuanshi Tianzun to Pei Xiang, and finally concluded:

"I waited for seven or eight hours in the Miluo Palace before I was summoned by the Great Heavenly Venerable, and then I chose this one from the three treasures. The ancestor seemed very satisfied with the result."

After listening to Zhenjun Erlang's account of the summoning, Pei Xiang's apricot eyes flashed a little bit of hope.She knew very well that there were some things that she could not ask or say, so she silently pondered over those words of Yuanshi Tianzun several times. After a while, she said without beginning and end:

"When you arrived at Miluo Palace, it was about the time when I brought Wuji and arrived near Liangjie Mountain. When you saw the Great Heavenly Venerable, it should be the moment when the three of us heard the sound of the Liusha River."

——That is to say, Yuanshi Tianzun didn't summon Yang Jian at the beginning, and it is very likely that he wanted to see Pei Xiang's choice first.If she had chosen a path with a chance of survival, then there would be subsequent summons.And when Pei Xiang was about to encounter a problem that mortals couldn't solve for the time being, such as the three thousand weak waters, it was replaced by Yang Jian to accept the test.Whether it was to test the mind and vision of his disciples, or to test a certain fate, Yang Jian, who finally chose Qinglian Zizhu Floating Boat, gave a correct answer.

Yang Jian naturally understood Pei Xiang's unfinished words, and also knew that the two had thought of something tacitly.

With a smile on his jade face, he spread his palms in front of Pei Xiang, a pale golden halo slowly emerged and flew towards Pei Xiang.Inside the halo, there is an exquisite and small boat-shaped magic weapon, which is the pontoon that can cross three thousand weak waters.

Pei Xiang wanted to reach out to pick it up, but suddenly found that his hands were covered by another big, slender and warm hand.She raised her head to look at the handsome man beside her, and her eyes just happened to meet those sparkling phoenix eyes like spring springs.

"Yang Jian?" Pei Xiang called out Zhenjun Erlang's real name subconsciously.

Yang Jian only felt that the ten-mile spring breeze was blowing in his heart, wrinkling whose heart was wrinkled?He opened his lips slightly, as if he had a lot to say to the beautiful woman beside him, but he didn't know what to say for a while, and for a while he forgot to move his hand to let her go free.

"Wow, this boat is so exquisite, Uncle Zhenjun, is this the new magic weapon you got?"

The clear and crisp child's voice brought Yang Jian back to his senses in a hurry.

Pei Xiang's eyes also shifted from Erlang Zhenjun's peerless beauty to Wuji's Xiaoyuan's face, thinking to himself, this kid still has too little homework...
