Young Master

Slow down the festival and sing Ange, Chen Yuse and Hao advocate.The spirit is beautiful and beautiful, and the house is full of fragrance and beauty. 【Note 1】

At the beginning of Huayang, the moon disc instantly disappeared into the hidden cave of Yanxi Mountain.

The breeze comes slowly, stirring up the ripples in the Xianchi, and the flowers are also swaying and dancing.

Suddenly Jinhua suddenly appeared, and a person rode a colorful cloud cart. There were jade horns on each side of the cloud cart. The weight enables the cloud car to move forward smoothly.

The man stopped at the other end of the cloud river, and a man poked his head out from behind Cong Yun.

"Pingyi, let's go together." The man in the car said, stretching out his right hand to express the sincerity of the invitation.

"That's good, don't worry about it." The man in the cloud also handed him his right hand, jumped with a little force, and sat down beside the man.

These two people are Xihe Dongjun (the God of the Sun) and Pingyi the Lord Yunzhong (the God of Clouds).

Two other gods came from Baishui by waterway. The one in front stood on a black dragon and wore a jade flute around his waist. He looked back at the boats behind him from time to time.

The boats are covered with Cymbidium as the curtain and the stalks as the cabin. The fragrance is lingering, refreshing and elegant, just like the people sitting in it.

These two are Xiangjun (God of Xiangshui) Xiangyuan and Mrs. Xiang (Goddess of Xiangshui) Concubine Mi.

The man riding the cloud stopped in front of the Holy Luan Hall and slowly got off the car.The person riding the dragon came after him, tapped his feet, jumped off the dragon's back, and then stepped forward to support the person in the boat.

At the same time, the Yellow River suddenly surged into the sky, and another person jumped out of the salty pond, startling the palace people who happened to pass by.And, a crack suddenly appeared on the rockery beside the Xianchi, and a woman came out between the Leilei rocks and the vines.

These two people are He Bo (God of the Yellow River) He Ling and Shan Gui (Goddess of the Mountain) Shan Mei.

The ceremonial officials who served in the Holy Luan Hall knew the places where the great gods used to show up, and went to greet them one after another.

The former young master Si Mingyue personally led a group of people from the Siming Mansion, and the motorcade lined up from the front of the Holy Luan Hall all the way to the outside of the Tiangong.At the front is the sedan chair of the newly appointed Shao Commander, followed by Yuelao Qixiu and other officials with higher positions.

After everyone entered the palace one by one according to their ranks, Donghuang Taiyi (Emperor of Heaven) Mu Chen and Queen of Heaven Hai Li also appeared in front of the throne.

The Eastern Emperor lowered his head and glanced at the audience, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a slow voice: "Oh, I didn't expect that the two commanders could not attend."

"Ah!" Everyone was shocked, and the other six masters were even more busy searching for the shadow of Da Si Ming Piaofeng.

Yueming's convoy was still outside, waiting for Donghuang to send someone to announce them in, so naturally they didn't know what happened inside.

He raised the curtain of the front car, and said to the people inside: "Pei Xi, are you ready? I have taught you hundreds of times, and you are not allowed to make any mistakes!"

The people inside didn't respond.

"Pei Xi, did you hear that? Put the sword on and fasten the jade ornaments, and they will come and tell us to go in."

The people inside still didn't respond.

"Pei Xi! You can't be asleep..."

"Old...Master..." The person inside said with a trembling voice, "Master...Master..."

"He? Jian'er, why is it you!" Yue Ming couldn't help being furious, "Did he run away out of fear? Send someone to bring him back!"

"No... no, master. The master told Qianjian before leaving that he still needs some time to take care of it, so...but, he will come before entering the palace."

"But what time is it now! Never mind, Jian'er, you just wait! I'm calling someone..."

Before the words were finished, a gust of whirlwind rushed in, instantly caught behind the curtain of the car, and pushed the people inside out.

"Father, Pei Xi is late, please forgive me. Jian'er, I'm sorry to make you worry."

"You kid, are you trying to ruin my old life?" Yue Ming opened his mouth to scold, Yuelao Qixiu hurried over and tugged on his sleeve, signaling that it was time to enter the hall.

"It's inconvenient to embarrass you at this time, let's talk slowly when we get back." Yue Ming suppressed his anger for a while, and led everyone into the hall.

In an instant, another gust of wind swept in, made a detour in front of Yue Ming and the others, and entered the hall in an instant.

"Could this person be..." Pei Xi thought to himself: Could it be the daredevil I met just now while grooming?If you have the ability to enter the palace to participate in the official banquet, it can be seen that it is not an ordinary small official's idle job.

While everyone was focusing their attention on the new Shao Si Ming, Piaofeng chose the position next to Jun Pingyi in Yunzhong as a cover, and secretly inserted himself inside.

But the sharp-eyed Donghuang still recognized the true face of the gust of wind at a glance.

"Look, young man, the Commander-in-Chief has come to congratulate you."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Pei Xi hurriedly turned her gaze to the seats of the nine great gods.

Seeing that Piaofeng finally appeared, some people let go of the big stone in their hearts, while others held back their smiles.Only Pei Xi frowned tightly at Liangmeifeng, unexpectedly... that person is also one of the nine great gods!

The Eastern Emperor on the seat continued to laugh and said, "Oh, Piaofeng, I never thought that besides Xihe, there are people who can hurt you in this world."

"Where, Lord Donghuang. Piaofeng has never been familiar with martial arts, but today he was misunderstood and caught off guard." Piaofeng said, stroking the red mark on his neck.It was just a minor injury, not even bleeding, and it only took a day or two to heal.

When Yue Ming heard that it was a whip wound, the unhappiness in his heart surged again, and he stared in Pei Xi's direction a few times.

"Ha, presumably the two Simings will get along well in the future. What do you think, young man?" Donghuang looked at the new young Siming with a smile.

"Well, yes." Pei Xi replied with some helplessness.

"Besides that, you must never repeat the mistakes of your predecessors." Donghuang looked at his life, as if hinting at the mistakes he made back then.

"This... excuse me for not understanding what Lord Donghuang is referring to." Pei Xi replied.

Yueming listened, and quickly walked two steps at a time, stood beside his son, bowed to the Eastern Emperor and Tianhou in the hall, and said anxiously: "The guilty minister will do his best to assist the new Si Ming, It will definitely not disappoint everyone here. Lord Donghuang, please believe in the guilty minister and the dog."

"Oh, all right." Donghuang waved his palm, signaling to step down. "It seems that your father still has some things that he hasn't explained clearly to you."

"Huh?" Pei Xiyi didn't understand, so she turned her head to look at her father's face.

Yue Ming lowered his head, and the scene was silent.Although I don't know what happened to my father in the past and the reason for his resignation, it can be seen from the self-proclaimed "official minister" that the reason for his father's resignation is nothing more than a crime or taboo.

Yuelao Qixiu was a little anxious, but he didn't know how to resolve such an embarrassing situation.Donghuang couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw that he was beginning to tightly bind each of his fingers with the marriage thread.

"Young man, listen carefully..." Donghuang continued: "Yuelao also participated in the events back then. However, after Si Ming resigned, the work of managing marriages and children in the world cannot be vacant, so this paragraph The old man will take care of it in time. But now... In addition to your original role as the young master, you also have to be the old man who is in charge of marriage. Do you understand? Boy..."

"The idiot understands."

Never expecting that the Eastern Emperor would come down with a difficult problem, Pei Xi felt a little overwhelmed.But... It is said that Yue Lao is a idle job, and since it is an idle job, he should be able to afford it.

However, Yue Ming at the side seemed a little anxious.Who knows, did the Eastern Emperor have long planned to have Pei Xi take up the post of Yuelao temporarily, or did it happen on a temporary basis?

Marriage and other things in the world are really not something a young man who has just grown up can handle.What's more, at this moment, Pei Xi still can't figure out how human affection and love are born.

Donghuang understands Yue Ming's concerns, he did this just to test whether Pei Xi can really implement the method of ruthlessness and love, so that the common people in the world will separate love and reunite with hatred.

"Okay, young man, go and sit down. Ritual officer, go announce the rest of the newly appointed officials into the palace."

"Yes." Pei Xi leaned forward and walked towards the seats of the nine great gods.

Mrs. Xiang waved to him, asking Pei Xi to sit in the empty seat between her and Mr. Xiang.Pei Xi looked up at the nine great gods, all of them were much older than him.Sitting between the two Xiangshui gods, he felt like the couple's young child.

On the right of Mr. Xiang are He Bo and Shan Gui, both of whom are upright and serious.On the left of Mrs. Xiang, there is Lord Yunzhong, and there is a wind at one o'clock in the past.Piaofeng was having a conversation with Jun Pingyi in Yunzhong with pen and paper, ignoring what the people above were saying.The person on the far left is Dongjun Xihe. He is closing his eyes and resting his mind. He only woke up when the ritual officer introduced the new members of the Sun Palace, and he fell asleep almost all the rest of the time.

Pei Xi had nothing to do, but she didn't want to listen to the ceremony officials and others, so she simply looked around to see the decoration of the hall and the expressions of the other officials.

Well, resplendent and dazzling, I hope the main hall of Siming Mansion is not in this color, otherwise the eyes will not be able to open.

Some of the officials in the back fell asleep, and some started playing. When I entered the palace just now, there must not be many people who listened carefully to the conversation between me and the Eastern Emperor, right?

Alas, it's rare that my father and myself have specially rehearsed hundreds of times for this moment.

"Oh, it's really boring..." Pei Xi thought to himself.When I go back later, I will start to take care of the affairs of the Siming Mansion, and I think it's a bit scary to think about it.

It's better to think of something light and interesting now.At the same time as this idea was born, what happened in the mansion before departure involuntarily appeared in my mind...

He... and Da Si Ming Piaofeng actually met under such circumstances.If I had known earlier, it would have been better if Yu Qiyuan stayed in the middle for a while, and it would not have caused... the embarrassment and embarrassment of today.

※※※

"Jian'er, is this the Tianquan Bath?"

"Yes, master. This water is drawn from the white water from the Kunlun Mountains. It is said that Mrs. Xiang calls people to fetch the water from the river every day to go back to freshen up. The Yun River built by Yun Zhongjun also uses the water here to mix the cloud sculptures." It's done."

"Really? As expected of the residence of the nine great gods..."

"Then, master, please cleanse yourself first, the Qianjian retreats first."

"Um."

After the boy servant finished speaking, he closed the door and walked away.

Pei Xi buried half of her body in the bathtub, enjoying the comfort brought by the dense water vapor.In the past two years, I have been working hard and worrying about learning to be the Commander every day, and I will really worry about it in the future.Somehow, this water seems to wash away all the pain, making the mood extraordinarily peaceful.

Until... that person's accidental break-in.

"Master, I will enter the palace in an hour, please hurry up."

"I see, Si Le, you go down first."

Ah... this is not Jian'er's voice.Pei Xi sensed something was wrong, and just as she was about to get up, a huge body bumped into her face.

Plop!This is the sound of a person falling into the water.

"Hey, did I crush something?" The visitor had doubts written on his face.

"Hey, who are you?" These were Pei Xi's first words after getting his head out of the water.

"Hey, who are you?" The visitor actually asked the same sentence.

"I said, isn't only Si Ming able to enter this bath?" Pei Xi asked in surprise.

But the degree of astonishment of the visitors was not inferior to him. "Yeah, isn't it?"

"Then you...why?" Pei Xi reached out to pick up her clothes, and moved to a place out of his sight to get up.

"What why? There is no reason, this is where I should have come. "Little girl", I think you can't figure out the situation."

"What..." Being disturbed for no reason, Pei Xi was already a little angry, but now she was even more furious by the word "girl".

"Damn...Are you looking for death?" After finishing dressing at an extremely fast speed, Pei Xi raised the red whip placed by the door, and swiped it in the direction of the people passing by.

The man hurriedly dived his head into the water, and got out after a few seconds.

"Red Whip? Girl, are you...the one in the market?"

"Market?" Pei Xi felt angry when he thought of those two thieves, and the behavior of the man in front of him seemed to be no different from that of a thieves.

"Hey, girl, please be kind, wait until I finish dressing first."

"Hurry up." Pei Xi turned her head away. "Don't teach me to be impatient, next time I will aim more."

"I see, this is obviously my residence, why let you..." The man murmured, and put on his clothes after a while.But he didn't want to fight with the unreasonable little girl in front of him at all. With light feet, he teleported and changed positions, and came to the right of the door.

"Want to escape?" Pei Xi sensed the man's intention.

"Hey, I have to enter the hall to meet the saint later, so I can't greet you. Girl, take care of yourself." After the man said, he flew to the other side of the corridor.

Not to be outdone, Pei Xi just wanted to catch up and teach this person a lesson.At this time, Qianjian came over and shouted: "Master, the master is calling for you, get up quickly."

"Jian'er, tell my father, I'll be back later."

"But master... we are only traveling in an ordinary car, if we don't go on the road now, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"It doesn't matter, Jian'er. You hide in the sedan chair for me for a while, and I will definitely arrive before entering the palace."

"But... master..."

Before Qian Jian could finish his words, Pei Xi had turned into a whirlwind and disappeared in front of him.The instant body technique that only the best gods can use is not something that a servant like him can catch up with.

His only option is to obey orders.

On the other hand, the man—that is, Da Si Ming Piaofeng was returning to his room to take out his own sword, and when he was about to set off with the Siming Palace, he turned around and saw Pei Xi standing behind him.

"Apologize to me, or you will die."

"Ah? Why?" If you want to say an apology, it is you who apologize to me.After all, only Si Ming himself can use that bath... Eh, Si Ming himself?Ha, that's right.

"It turns out...it was a misunderstanding." The man suddenly smiled.

"Misunderstanding?" Pei Xi was puzzled. "You barged in while I was purging, what misunderstanding is there?"

"Hey... aunt, ah, no. I don't care if you are a girl or a young master. Anyway, I am in charge here, and there is nothing wrong with me staying there. It's a bad luck that you happen to be in there too. No one's fault. As for , I can only say sorry for offending you in the market with my two unprofessional subordinates. Next time, I will pay attention to the words and deeds of my subordinates, and will not let something like this happen again..."

"Subordinate? Bazaar?" This is good, such words brought back unpleasant memories for Pei Xi.The whip was pulled out of the sleeve in an instant, and it was another merciless onslaught.

"It turns out that the very crooked upper beam...is you."

Seeing that the red snake was about to devour him madly, the man turned sideways and only let the tail brush against his neck.

"Draw out your sword, aren't you holding it?" Pei Xi scolded.

"Uh... this..." The sword on his waist is actually just a sign of status, and Piaofeng doesn't like to use it very much.The last time I pulled it out was in the civilized competition with Hebo Heying, Xiangjun Xiangyuan, and Dongjun Xihe in the biennial martial arts festival in the heaven.

In addition, Si Ming's ability to control the power of life and death is already quite terrifying, there is no need to use a sword at all.

"I said, this aunt...young master! If you don't leave quickly, can you arrive at the Holy Luan Hall before Mao hour?"

"You know about the official banquet?" Pei Xi was a little surprised.

"Yeah, I'm going too. If you don't mind, let's go by car together."

"Save some time, isn't it enough to be accompanied by your calamity ghost and food god?"

"No. Those two people, I have already handed over to the criminal officer. Count me as rude, young master, I will apologize to you. Besides, I admire, admire, for being so talented at such a young age."

"Hmph." Pei Xi pretended to be ungrateful, but in her heart she no longer cared as much as before.Take a closer look, this lewd thief... No, this daredevil is really handsome, it's really enviable.If only... I could be as good as him.

While Pei Xi was looking at Piaofeng, Piaofeng's gaze shifted to the red whip he was holding.The material of this whip is actually somewhat similar to the red silk rope in Yuelao's hands, could it be...?

"Mingsiluo...?" Piaofeng asked speculatively.

"You know this thing?"

"Ah, if... Yuelao knew that the silk he had worked so hard to weave was ruined by you, would he be heartbroken? Thousands of marriages in the world are just ruined in your hands .”

"Well, is it?" Pei Xi looked at the red whip and said indifferently: "I just think it's something my father used to train me to spy on marriages in the world. The world is in chaos and the people are displaced. Although this thing can't be used It is very useful, but the texture is indescribably flexible and firm, so I asked a craftsman to help me make this whip, and it is very easy to use.”

"Oh my god..." Piaofeng suddenly felt the darkness in front of his eyes, and he leaned over and was about to fall backward.

"Lord Piaofeng, it's time for us to set off." The person who spoke was Siming Gongyue, who was also one of the Zuozheng officials who accompanied Piaofeng.

"Oh, I'll be right here." Before turning around to leave, Piaofeng didn't forget to say: "Master in Siming Mansion, we will definitely meet again soon."

"Wait...your name?" If all goes well, this person will become his first friend after taking office as Commander.Therefore, it is naturally necessary for Pei Xi to ask his name.

But seeing Piaofeng's mouth slightly raised, he whispered softly: "I am - the person you have spent so much time inquiring about these days."

"Ah?" Pei Xi still didn't know what happened, Piaofeng had already used the same instant spell as her and left.It's just that the speed seems to be faster than myself, which probably has something to do with the foundation of martial arts.

"What do you mean...?"

Pei Xi lowered her head and thought for a long time, almost forgetting about the official banquet.Fortunately, Li Li, who was staying at the Siming Palace, appeared immediately to remind him.

At this time, Pei Xi vaguely remembered that the Siming Palace and the mansion were interconnected, and it was not too strange for him to see Piaofeng in the mansion.But... what do the two sentences "I am in charge here" and "the person who has spent all his time inquiring" mean?Although it is true that the two officials under command have their own offices.But it shouldn't be, the authority of "regional jurisdiction" is still divided in the palace, and the bathing area is under his control, right?

The time of Mao is approaching, and there is no time to bother about other things.Concentrating on her feet, Pei Xi flew towards the gate of Siming Palace, and then rode on the water between the Yunhe River, turning into a whirlwind and soaring upwards.

※※※

Fortunately, his father blocked the crowd who came to congratulate him, so he was able to calm down and deal with the work in Siming Mansion.

Yuelao had just left, and entrusted Yueming to hand over the life vat, life silk, marriage mirror and other things to Pei Xi.According to the decree of the Eastern Emperor, he had to concurrently serve as the moon elder until the end of the Warring States period in the human world and human courtship and marriage became more frequent.

To say the least, it will take two to three hundred human years, which is about a year or so when converted to the time in the heavenly realm.

Earlier, Ci Xianling also brought congratulatory gifts.Among the congratulatory gifts given by everyone, Pei Xi only chose a few items to keep, and entrusted someone to send the rest back, otherwise, they would pass them on to their good elders and friends in the past.What he left behind are the new clothes sewn by Mrs. Xiang herself, the quilt cut by Yun Zhongjun from clouds, Dongjun's sunlight candle that can turn the night into day, the colorful fir tree of the mountain ghost... and, The Nine Songs of Cixian and the "Short Signature of Blessings" by Da Si Ming Piaofeng.

There is only one sentence written on the short note: "If you are busy, I can represent you for half a year. You just need to hand this short note to me. If there is something missing, I will take care of it for you."

"Heh..." Pei Xi felt annoyed and amused.This Piaofeng... first disturbed him to take a bath for no reason, then said some unclear words, and then... robbed him of the job of the young commander, to put it bluntly, he was really a weirdo!

When a misunderstanding occurs, wouldn't it be enough to tell myself earlier that he is the Commander-in-Chief?Pei Xi now always feels ashamed of Piaofeng, and doesn't know how to face him.

The voice called Qianjian and ordered him to send the letter of thanks to Cixian's residence. -Yu Changjian embraces the young AI, and Sun Duyi acts as the righteousness of the people.He will keep in mind the meaning of this sentence, and become the guardian of the youngest son of mankind and the ruler of all peoples.

While making an oath in his heart, Yue Ming walked towards him.

"Pei Xi, there is someone you must meet."

"Hello." An all-too-familiar face came into view.

"It's you……"

"Master Chief Commander, that lowly position will step down first." Yue Ming said, leaned forward and bowed, and walked out the door.

"I..." Pei Xi originally wanted to apologize to him for the misunderstanding early in the morning, but Piaofeng asked a question first.

"What are you doing?"

"Uh... well..." Pei Xi didn't know how to explain it. Anyway, this is a job to distribute the offspring of human beings.

"Tell me, if you are too busy in the future, I can do my best." Piaofeng looked very sincere.

"Uh... ok. I have a bottle of blue and red here. The blue is a boy, and the red is a girl. I will take a little of each and drop it into this female pottery puppet tied at the end of the life silk. body, after ten months, she in the human world will give birth to dragon and phoenix twins.”

"Oh..." Piaofeng looked at the two-color crystalline object in the bottle with great interest. "This is "life". I don't know if it will work if you drop it on the male doll..."

"Of course not." Pei Xi felt a little powerless. "It's nothing but a waste of things. The 'Life Crystal' is processed from fine mines on Yanxi Mountain. It is very precious, and it will only be produced once every few years."

"Is that so...can you let me try? I will be very careful."

"Are you okay?" Pei Xi sincerely hoped that he would not waste resources.

"No problem." Piaofeng said with a smile, "I also have a kind of potion called 'Li' and 'Combination', which is much more troublesome than this one. Not only do you have to mix the proportions, but you also need to add 'Love' and 'Combination'. "Hate" these two kinds of difficult things... Alas, I think that human beings will really be killed by these four things. Of course, it also includes Si Luo in Yuelao's hands. Now... Do I want to Did this red crystal drop into the belly of this puppet?"

"Yes, she is right." Pei Xi replied.

"This woman... seems to be the wife of the number one witch priest in the Chu realm." Piaofeng's expression suddenly changed. "If I remember correctly, she seems to be ill and will die soon. The birth of this girl is undoubtedly the key to her life..."

"That's it." But Pei Xi didn't care at all. "Let's put it down, you have to face what you have to face. Life and death are the eternal laws of the heavens or the world."

"Pei Xi." Piaofeng's hand froze in mid-air and did not come down for a long time. "If...not doing so can save that person from dying, then...would that change your decision?"

"No." Pei Xi said coldly: "Father said: 'We heavenly beings will never be satisfied no matter how much we sacrifice for human beings.' Tonight, we sympathize with the marriage and destiny of human beings... In the future, Who will sympathize with us? Also, who is in control of our marriage and destiny?"

Hearing this, Piaofeng fell into deep thought, and only spoke again after a while.

"Ah, maybe it's the Eastern Emperor. Legend has it that the Eastern Emperor has the ability to read people's hearts. Maybe it's him. He may already have a plan for future changes."

"...Really?" Pei Xi actually felt a little sad.

Piaofeng focused on talking, completely unaware that the red crystal in the ladle in his hand had slipped into the female puppet's belly.Yue Ming, who was outside the door, heard the two talking about the topic of marriage between heaven and man, and unconsciously, layers of twilight appeared in his eyes.

Thoughts... seem to have been brought back more than two years ago.

"Freezing rain..."

The figure and name that haunted my dreams no longer exist now.

Yes, there is no need to sympathize with the world.In the sorrow of heaven and man, only heaven and man will cry alone forever.

[Note 1] Taken from "Nine Songs of the East Emperor Taiyi": The witches and witches danced in beautiful clothes, and the whole hall was filled with fragrant fragrance.The anxious ensemble played lively, congratulating the gods on their infinite joy, happiness and well-being.
