Peach blossoms on the Kunlun pond

Xiuzhu felt that the princess was acting weird recently, before she always sneaked down the mountain while her master was not around, either to practice medicine, or to hang out, or simply wandered far, far away with Yang Jian, and would not come back until late at night.But since the fourth princess came, Cun Xin seemed to be a different person suddenly, staying at home every day, either grinding powder, mixing medicine, or copying books, but even if she was copying books, she stopped after writing a few lines. In a daze, I didn't even notice ink dripping from the tip of my pen.

Originally, Nezha had already committed suicide, which was naturally a happy thing, but the princess didn't even mention it, her face was indifferent.Is the princess grounded again?Xiu Zhu shook his head.In this Kunlun Mountain, apart from Master Puxian and his disciples, only Xiuzhu was well informed. If the princess really violated the canon and was punished, it would be unreasonable for Xiuzhu not to hear anything about it.

Dare the princess quarrel with Yang Jian?When they got along in the past, the princess always cooked tea by the window. Yang Jian either leaned against the window, or sat by a few corners, holding a cup of tea, listening to the princess chatting for a long time, Yang Jian only occasionally interjected, and then the two looked at each other. laugh.Occasionally there was a rift, and when the princess's voice changed, Yang Jian immediately recognized it, and the princess who spoke in a few words broke into a smile.But after returning from Chentang Pass, even though Yang Jian had been to Mount Putuo several times, the princess used various excuses to avoid her.Yang Jian used to have a lot of things to do, but in the past few days, he was so busy that no one was around.

One day, Xiu Zhu gathered medicine and sent it to Cun Xin to prepare it. Seeing that she was still lazy, he asked, "Sister, do you know that Nezha's temple was burned?" No conversation.Xiu Zhu looked at her expression and said again: "Maybe he offended too many people during his lifetime. I heard that someone smashed his golden body and burned the temple. Tell me, it's very satisfying, isn't it?"

The bronze wheel in Cun Xin's hand was twirling back and forth, her heart was agitated, she originally said that she was going to smash the temple, but it didn't happen.One is that she saw Nezha committing suicide, and she really couldn't bear to go to other people's temple gates after his death.The second is that Yang Jian really has a deep relationship with Nezha brothers. If he destroys his statue, he is afraid that Yang Jian will become angry, and it will not end well at that time.It's just that now I don't know who is so bold as to actually do this thing. If Yang Jian thought it was done by himself, wouldn't it be hard to argue?

Xiuzhu couldn't understand Cun Xin's thoughts, sorting the herbs in his hands, and said: "I heard from Mu Zha that since the temple collapsed, Master Taiyi lived in seclusion in the Golden Light Cave every day. I realized that there was a lotus pond in that cave, and I don’t know what it is for.” She was suddenly blessed: “Sister, tell me, Senior Brother Yang hasn’t come to the thatched cottage recently, is he helping Senior Taiyi to use spells to save people? ?”

Cun Xin was upset, but she didn't show it on her face, she just said lightly: "Whether he comes or not, what does it matter to me?" Xiu Zhu pursed his lips and smiled: "Sister can only say so, the words you wrote , but I have seen it all." After saying that, she walked to the table, picked up a bamboo slip, pointed to Cun Xin to read: "What is written on this? I'll read it." Before she could speak, Cun Xin stepped forward and slapped her hands. Take that Jane, throw it in the brazier and burn it.Xiuzhu smiled and clapped her hands and said: "You burned this one, there are still many in the book basket!" She blinked and asked with a smile: "Sister, since you miss him so much, why don't you go to see him? If You can't save face, I can..."

"No need." Cun Xin sat down again, "What should come will come, what shouldn't come, it doesn't matter if you don't come." She had such a stern face that Xiu Zhu didn't know how to answer the words, and was thinking how to tease her He smiled, but Cun Xin asked: "You also changed your language these days, calling him 'Senior Brother', he obviously started late, why is he a Senior Brother?"

Xiu Zhu curled her lips: "It's not the little ones with the screwdriver and the red top and white! Seeing that Yang Jian is favored, every word has been changed." Recently, Yang Jian went to Yuxu Palace more and more often, Tianzun It seems that he highly respects this disciple who started relatively late, and has the intention of choosing him as the head of the three generations.Even Master Guangchengzi, who is in charge of the teaching, began to assign Yang Jian to assist in the affairs of the teaching. The disciples in the teaching are the most discerning, and some of them are sober, and they have already started to compliment Yang Jian.

Cun Xin smiled: "Then you also call him Senior Brother, what are you?" Xiu Zhu also smiled: "I am different from them. What is the relationship between my sister and Yang Jian? I will call him a son-in-law in the future!" She laughed heartily, but seeing that Cun Xin's face was still sinking, she couldn't help asking cautiously: "Sister, did you two really quarrel?"

quarrel?Cun Xin recalled what happened that day on Sacrificial Cliff, is this considered a quarrel?Cun Xin couldn't forgive Nezha, let alone himself—the third brother died so badly, but he could forget the pain of his relative's sudden death so easily.On Sheshen Cliff, Yang Jian hugged her and whispered in her ear, his tone was so soft that Cun Xin thought he was in the sweetest dream.But the wind on the top of the cliff was so cold, after all, the cold air passed through Yang Jian's arms and swept across Cun Xin's body, penetrating into the bone marrow. "... You are in the shadows and you can't see, but you are in the light and your concubine wishes." Cun Xin sighed softly.

"Sister, what did you say?" Xiu Zhu asked.

"I said, it's getting cold, take out your winter clothes." Cun Xin looked through the window lattice and landed on the snowflakes that were falling like pear blossoms.

Xiu Zhu guessed right, Yang Jian is indeed busy with Nezha's body shaping recently.After Nezha's death, Mrs. Yin built a palace on Cuiping Mountain and built a statue of Nezha God.Unexpectedly, he was visited by that Li Jing, who scolded Nezha for "harassing his parents during his lifetime and fooling the people after his death".At that time, Nezha had already completed his physical form, but he was not yet fully formed, so he had to go back to the Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain to report to the Immortal Taiyi.The real person said "no problem", took the lotus leaves and lotus flowers to form the shape of the three talents of heaven, earth and man, and asked Yang Jian to protect the dharma.

As soon as Nezha fell to the ground, he was overjoyed. He first thanked his master, and then said "hard work" to Yang Jian. Before he finished speaking, he burst into tears.Yang Jian stroked his beautiful hair, with tears in his eyes, and said with a smile: "From now on, you are not allowed to mess around like this."

Nezha replied "Yes", and said again: "Second brother, I have this lotus body this time, but I feel that my heart is not as irritable as usual." , your mortal body was burdened by the smoke and fire before, so you were naturally full of greed and hatred, and your murderous nature has not been eliminated. Now that you have taken off your body, with the lotus flower as your body and the wind and dew as your soul, you naturally have prajna in your heart, pure and quiet." That real person He shook his head, with a look of complacency on his face, "If it weren't for this, how could we be able to defeat the evil spirit master when we go down the mountain to fight on the battlefield in the future?"

After hearing this, Yang Jian looked thoughtful and said to the real person: "Master, I recently heard Tianzun discuss with Master Uncle, saying that 'the three religions discuss conferring gods together', and they want to send my disciples down the mountain to help Zhou conquer merchants. I'm going too. Master has great supernatural powers and can recreate Nezha's dharma body so that he will not be invaded by evil spirits, so why don't you give me a helping hand?"

Master Taiyi smiled and twirled his beard and said, "You are different. Because Nezha committed [-] murders, he had to go through waves to wipe out his murderous nature. You are the master who passed down the profound art, the so-called nine turns of alchemy, and The heaven and the earth have the same longevity, the sun and the moon have the same brilliance, it is not comparable to ordinary Taoism..." Before finishing speaking, Nezha grabbed the real man's sleeve and shouted: "Since it is so effective, why didn't the master not pass it on? Me, teach me to suffer so much!"

"Impossible," Daoist Taiyi waved his hands again and again, "Yang Jian was born with a demigod body, how can you compare? Although this mysterious art is wonderful, it is very dangerous to practice. If you are not careful, you will go crazy and lose your soul. Master Zu It’s hard to find such an excellent Dao body like him, so I dare to pass it on to him, if it’s an ordinary disciple, it doesn’t matter if you practice one or die!”

Yang Jian listened, his eyebrows moved imperceptibly, but he smiled and said: "Uncle, I have been here for a long time, I am afraid that the master has something to send in Yuxu Palace, so I will go first." After saying that, he went to the entrance of the cave. Come.Nezha said again: "Master, Master, now that I have completed my dharma body, if I can add the Nine Turns Mysterious Kung Fu, wouldn't it be as powerful as a tiger with wings?"

The real person gave a "spitting" smile: "You are so dissatisfied, child, you have cultivated a pure body, reborn, even if all the disciples die in the future, it will not be your turn to be sealed..." He suddenly stopped, looked at the entrance of the cave, and found that Yang Jian had already gone out, so he smiled again: "I've worked hard for half a day, and I'm very tired. My good boy, go out and take a rest as a teacher, ah~ "

Yang Jian at the entrance of the cave listened to it, and his heart skipped a beat. In this way, if you want to become a god, you must be physically dead, and you can only be on the list with a state of spiritual consciousness.Listening to Taiyi Daoist's tone, Nezha is fine, and I am probably fine, but the master said the day before yesterday that "disciples of the three religions poured out", Tianhua has already gone down the mountain, that Cunxin...

Just as he was thinking, there was the sound of footsteps, Yang Jian turned sideways and hid in the shadows, only to see Nezha jumping out and heading for the back mountain.

Xiuzhu was sweeping snow in front of the thatched hut, when he saw a person walking on the snow in the distance, it was Yang Jian.Xiuzhu hurriedly laughed and said: "Yo, I only know that Senior Brother Yang will not come to our door from now on, who knows that he is here again today!" not there."

Yang Jian was taken aback, Xiu Zhu mentioned it when he went to Yuxu Palace to deliver medicine, Cun Xin has been walking out of Luojia Cave recently, why is he not at home today?That Xiu Zhu was probably impatient with sweeping, blinked his eyes, pinched his fingers, gathered the remaining snow on the ground, and actually piled up a snow lion.While looking at it carefully, he said: "My sister is only writing by the window all day long, and I can recite only a few sentences when I write. Today, it's snowing, so I drove her to the town at the foot of the mountain to avoid moaning and sighing at home." , frowning and tearful."

Have you ever cried?Yang Jian was troubled for no reason, but his face was still calm, "In that case, I'll go to the town to find her." "Oh, don't worry," Xiu Zhu threw down the broom, ran into the house like a gust of wind, and hugged her. When the kit came out, he threw it to Yang Jian and said: "She copied it all, a lot of it, and it's not a medicine book. It's really annoying to put it in the house. Senior brother helped me take it to the back mountain and bury it." After saying that, he covered his lips and smiled, and went went.

Holding the kit in his hand, Yang Jian felt that it was heavy. When he opened it, he found that there were some written bamboo slips inside. He smiled and shook his head, walking towards the back of the mountain.Seeing the white snow all over his eyes, he thought that it would be better to burn these bamboo slips, lest the snow will melt in the future, and these bamboo slips would still be exposed, so he put the kit on the ground, and pinched a formula with his left hand to ignite the fire.

Yang Jian picked up a bamboo slip and was about to ignite it, when he saw a very delicate seal script on the slip read: "Tian Bao Ding Er, Bi Er Jian Gu. There is nothing wrong with it, and it is blessed by the sky. Bless you, and we will protect the sun." Insufficient." Startled in my heart, I quickly squatted down to look through it, and saw that there were hundreds of bamboo slips in the kit, and this sentence was written on almost every one, and there were even a few, which only had the word "jian" written on them. , What else is below, painted with ink again, one piece in a circle, so messy.

Yang Jian loosened his body, lying on his back on the soft snow, looking at the gray sky covered by branches and leaves, unable to calm down for a long time.
