Young Master

What can I do to worry about people?May there be no loss today.There is a right to one's life, which one can be separated and reunited? 【Note 1】

I don't know how long it has passed since the official banquet, Piaofeng would come to the mansion every day from the Siming Palace, asking him if there was anything he needed to do for him.

It's annoying, but Pei Xi doesn't care much about it.The job of commanding orders is actually very depressing and heavy, and it is always good to have someone to talk to and complain about.Therefore, even though Pei Xi always said to him, "Get out of the way, don't you have nothing to do in your spare time?" She was looking forward to his arrival in her heart.

Of course, Qianjian, the servant who accompanied him, was always there, and never left his side for half a step.However, the troubles of being in this position can only be understood by him who is close to his position.

One day, Piaofeng came to report to Pei Xi's office on time, Pei Xi's tone did not change at all, and the words he said were still sour, but the distance between the two was greatly shortened.

The cause is...

"I think, instead of bothering you to go this way every day, it would be easier to set up your office and mine together, wouldn't it be much easier?" Pei Xi raised her head and gave him a disdainful look.

After one night, Pei Xi had just finished his breakfast when Piaofeng half-pushed and half-pushed him to a large, elegant and refreshing room.Over there, the two people's writing desks, paper, ink, piano, chess and tea sets were all ready. Qian Jian, Si Li, and Si Le were busy grinding ink and cooking tea. The three of them were talking and laughing. Seeing Piaofeng and Pei Xi coming, they hurried He got up and made a simple bow.

"This is... what's going on?" Pei Xi asked.

"Well, don't you hope that we can work together? This is the best, and we can take care of each other."

"Hey... I'm just talking casually, why don't you listen casually?" Pei Xi finally fully understood the helplessness of Ci Xianlingjun.

The smile still curved on Piaofeng's lips, and he whispered in a gentle voice that has remained unchanged for thousands of years: "Even if the servants tell me, I will listen carefully, let alone you?"

"Hmph." Pei Xi turned her head away hastily, because a burst of hot blush suddenly appeared on her face. "Forget it, seeing that Jian'er gets along so well with them, let them work together. My words...it's okay."

"Oh." Piaofeng couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing secretly. "I didn't expect you to know how to pay attention to servants. It seems that you are kind."

"Hmph." Pei Xi scolded again, and then sat back in front of her desk.

Piaofeng happily hummed a little tune, walked slowly in front of Pei Xi, looked down at the stack of books and materials that were higher than his head, and asked with a sigh: "Recently, what has surprised you?" Annoying thing?"

"There are three pieces." Pei Xi said.

"Yo, I would like to hear more about it."

"First, there is a mountain named Wu at the junction of Qin and Chu in the human world. Recently, an ominous miasma has shrouded it. The number of children within a radius of ten miles has gradually decreased. No matter how many life crystals I distribute, there has been no improvement in the past. .Although I want to send people down to investigate, but the permission from the superior has not been issued, so it is very difficult to act.”

"I think Wushan is under the jurisdiction of mountain ghosts, so you shouldn't need to worry about it." Piaofeng speculated.

"Secondly, there is a witch priest in the world who tries to lure me to the lower world every day with summoning spells. It's annoying to death."

"Oh? Another shaman who admires the gods?" Just like Cixian described in the nine songs, the shaman worked tirelessly to find the figure of the great god, but all he got was an indifferent response.

"That's not true." Pei Xi continued: "The name of the witch priest is "Yu Chen". The reason why he summoned me is mainly to plead for his wife "Mu Xia"..."

"Because she can't have children, right?" Piaofeng interrupted him again.

"No. She is currently pregnant with a baby girl, but... this girl's body is very weak, and she may die soon. It stands to reason that you should be asked to extend life, but...he I hope that with the power of the life silk, the soul of the woman will be introduced into the world we live in. According to the rumors in the world, Yuelao is a mysterious figure who is bohemian and roams the world. It is not easy to find him. At this time, the only reliable The only one who stands above the moon is the commanding officer."

"Yo..." sounds complicated. "But I don't understand why Mingsiluo can lead a woman's soul into the heaven?"

"Because Yuechen was originally Dongjun Xihe's auxiliary government, he must be recalled to the heaven after death. And the woman is just a mortal, and her belonging after death must be different from that of a heavenly man. Yuchen, who has the ability to occupy the elders, has long known that she will die in the future. Mingsiluo is the most flexible thing in the heaven, and its hardness and softness are completely taken from the people who are tied to both ends by it. Yuechen's job in the mortal world is to guide Dongjun's light to the human world "Bridge". Similarly, it should not be too difficult to lead the soul."

"So that's it. Pei Xi, you are so smart." Piaofeng couldn't help admiring: "I was worried before, saying that you were really determined to take that woman's life. Now it's all right, if you are willing to help him, you can also help him." It was a beautiful marriage.”

"Hmph." Pei Xi was slightly dissatisfied, and said to herself: Who said I wanted to help him?Obviously you want me to do this, right?

"Well, that's not right..." Piaofeng suddenly jumped up like an electric shock. "Since this woman is his wife, life silk should have already been tied to the two of them. If so...why...?"

Pei Xi clasped her arms around her chest, and sighed loudly: "Because, it is not easy to tie the life silk to the soul. It is difficult to do it without strong "thoughts" and "feelings". The longing, love and hatred of heaven and man It can last for thousands of years, but human beings are not strong-willed, sentimental and fickle, and the maximum lifespan can only be a hundred. After the "mind" and "emotion" are cut off, the life silk will become fragile and unbearable. At this time, use the command There is no better way than God can strengthen it.”

"Oh." Piaofeng had the same expression as before. "So, what about the third one?"

"The third thing... If you can keep a distance of more than twenty steps from me, then the third thing will not be established." Pei Xi lowered her head and continued to work.

"That's it, you are so ruthless. All right." Piaofeng could only obediently walk back to his seat.

Two years ago, he took up the post of Commander, but the real power of the Commander's Mansion was in the hands of Yuelao and Pedestrian officials. The lesser Commander resigned, and there was no communication between the palace and the mansion. Such a life was really boring.

He originally thought that Pei Xi should be a good person to talk to and have fun with, but it was not.

It seems that in order to gain Pei Xi's favor, the only way is to be content with one's own duty and devote oneself to the post of commanding officer.

After that day, the two lived in peace for a long time.

Until the day when a mortal body went deep into the other side of the cloud river and disturbed the peaceful life of the two.

※※※

"Excuse me, where is the palace where the two commanders are?"

"Siming Palace, Siming Mansion, the palaces are connected, and they are self-contained."

"Thank you, so which direction should I go?"

"Riding up this cloud river, I think with your footsteps, you should be able to reach it within five quarters, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Before I saw Si Ming, I was seen by the other great gods."

"Thank you for reminding me, I will be careful."

"Human man, let me give you a piece of advice. Go to Siming Palace and look for the Great Commander named Piaofeng. After the goal is achieved, return to the human world immediately, otherwise..."

"I understand. May I ask my dear brother's name, and Yu Chen will report in the future."

"No, we won't see each other often anyway."

"...?"

Looking far away, Yuechen searched for the location of Siming Palace.When I looked back and wanted to say goodbye to the man, I couldn't see the white-haired man who was sitting on the bank of the Yun River fishing just now.

Strange to say, the weather is cold, and the water in the Yunhe River is also cold. In such a chilly day, the fish and shrimp have already hidden in the warm waters.Also, is this Yunhe also like the rivers in the world, with fish and shrimps really hiding in it?

The white-haired man just now was wearing a simple and elegant white dress, which seemed to be cut out of clouds, floating in the air, as if he was weightless, and would be swept away by Fengshen Feilian at any time, and taken to another unknown place. place to go.

Forget it, he has no time to think about it.Things in the heavens are not something that a mortal like him can understand clearly.

He came here today to fulfill his promise to never leave his wife, Mu Xia, forever.

The water in Yunhe was so cold that one's heart would freeze into ice, but the man still stepped into it.

He is not from the heavens, so he doesn't know how to ride a cloud car and spaceship.What's more, he didn't have and couldn't borrow these things.

"Ping Yi..."

Mrs. Xiang was returning from her wanderings at the source of the white water, and when she saw Mr. Yunzhong hiding in a soft white cirrocumulus cloud, she wanted to say hello to him.

Yun Zhongjun poked his head out, and said softly: "So it's Madam, did your husband come with you?"

"No, he won't come until later."

"That's good." Yun Zhongjun showed a reassuring smile.Otherwise, according to Mr. Xiang's temperament, if he catches the mortal who trespassed just now, he will definitely make a fuss before everyone in the heaven knows about it.

"What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, ma'am. Could you lend me a cut-off clipper?"

"Yes." Mrs. Xiang took out a pair of crystal clear scissors from her bosom. The appearance was transparent and had some blue light, which was comparable to the treasure of the Heavenly Palace - the color of ten thousand years of ice. "Pingyi, with it...it will save a lot of effort to open the road to the Yunhe River, right?"

"No..." Yun Zhongjun shook his head, and took the cut-off scissors with both hands. "It's rumored that the cutting shears can cut anything. I really want to try...whether it can cut the invisible and worrying bond between me and Xi He."

"Ah!" Mrs. Xiang exclaimed suddenly. "Did Dongjun do anything to offend you?"

"No, it's actually the opposite." Yun Zhongjun couldn't help shaking his head and sighed softly: "But our fingers can't wrap around Mingsiluo. Yuelao said that the love and hatred of heaven and man can last for thousands of years, while the love and hatred of ten thousand years The lifespan... is too long. For the two people who are at the two ends of the Tianhe River but cannot meet each other, it is too bitter. I am a cloud during the day, and I turn into a moon at night, reflecting the whole earth and myself. The loneliness of my heart. The night consumes too much of my physical strength, and until the dawn, I can only separate out some broken clouds to decorate the whole day. Xihe...is a dream that I will never be able to bear."

"Pingyi..." Mrs. Xiang was speechless to comfort her.She and Mr. Xiang are both the gods of Xiangshui, and they can get along day and night, so naturally they don't understand the sorrow of parting.

"Ma'am, do you think... Ming Siluo can really bind two people who love each other?" Yun Zhongjun said quietly, his expression suddenly became sad. "Speaking of this, it always reminds people of Yue Ming and Dong Yu. They tried to wrap each other's knuckles with life silks, trying to escape the established fate in reality, but in the end... they offended the Eastern Emperor."

"Yes." Mrs. Xiang couldn't help but sighed too. "Poor young Pei Xi, he lost his mother when he was born, and Yue Ming couldn't love him well. If it wasn't for Dong Yu's decision to keep Pei Xi, or... oh, he had to be with his mother He died under the constraints of the book of life and death."

Thinking of the value of this child's survival, it seems that it is to eliminate the sins of the two Yue Mings.Fortunately, Pei Xi didn't have the will to do this, otherwise she might be so sad that she couldn't die.

"Ma'am, Mr. Xiang is here to pick you up."

The appearance of Xiangjun Xiangyuan brought the sad topic to an end for the time being. The two accepted Yunzhongjun's suggestion and returned to Xiangjiang by another gentle road along the Yunhe River, which was exactly the opposite direction to the one that Yuechen was walking.

"Xihe...I know it's wrong to help this mortal, but...but I still look forward to the impossibility of the future..." Even if the end will be the same as freezing rain.

He waved his hand to attract a large dark cloud, blocking it in the path of Yuechen, lest his breath and face be seen through.

Pingyi... just like my own name.She shields the sun and the blue sky, and also shields her own loneliness and external enthusiasm, preventing it from leaking a little...into her heart.

※※※

The sun turned wine red, and the soft clouds were also reflected crimson.

When we arrived at Siming Palace, the setting sun had half-hidden into the Yanxi Mountains, not good!He has taken too long.With his current skills, he can only keep his body free from evil spirits and miasma for three hours. After this time, not to mention being able to pull his wife's soul after death, even self-protection will become a problem.

Regardless of his frostbite-covered feet, Yuechen limped towards the palace gate, where Qianjian was about to close the gate with his open hand.

"Wait a minute! This little brother..." Yu Chen shouted anxiously.

"Who are you? Heavenly people are not allowed to enter the palace, do you know?"

"I know, I'm Yue Chen, and I have an urgent matter to see Master Si Ming. Please give me the name of Yue Chen, if he doesn't know, Master Shao Ming will definitely know."

"You know my master?" Qian Jian tilted his head and thought for a while, he had never seen his master interacting with this person.Forget it, they must have come through other channels, that's what high officials like to do. "You come with me first."

"Thank you little brother."

Qianjian led him through many long corridors, and came to the office of the two commanders, and ordered him to stay outside for a while, and went in first to inform him.

Piaofeng sat in it, and Si Li Si Le was also at the side. Pei Xi went to the bath two quarters ago, and there were still a few pairs of dolls and unused half-bundles of life silks and life crystals on the table.

Long before Yuechen stepped into the palace gate, Piaofeng had sensed that a voice different from heaven and man was slowly approaching Siming Palace.Of course, this is what they expected.

"My lord, you can enter the room now." After Qian Jian said, he retreated to serve Pei Xi.

Yuechen was so frightened that he didn't even dare to make a sound when his footsteps touched the ground.It is rumored in the human world that the Commander-in-Chief is a serious and upright character. In fact, the Commanders before Piaofeng were indeed so.

"Human beings, don't be alarmed. I've already heard about your reason for coming... No, Master Young Commander mentioned it." Piaofeng sat upright, with his usual smile on his face. The majestic image of the sages.

"Then... I don't know what Master Si Ming means?" Yuechen lowered his head very low, not daring to look directly at Piaofeng.

Piaofeng coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and then pretended to be serious: "Human witch priests, you should know... Ming Siluo cannot be entangled with the knuckles of heaven and man. In the past, you were Dongjun's side Your beloved general, but was forced to fall into the mortal world because you accidentally crossed the rules of heaven. Now, you unfortunately fell in love with a human woman, but you want to spend ten thousand years with her when she returns to heaven in the future. Doing this... right?"

"I-I know that you must never do this, but... I can't restrain myself from not doing it..."

When Yuechen was excited, he couldn't help raising his head, just in time to catch a glimpse of Piaofeng's face.Unexpectedly... this Siming is so young and handsome, if he is not a heavenly being, his age may be very similar to his own.

"Master Si Ming, have you ever been heartbroken for love? Have you ever been ashamed and ashamed for one person?"

"Hmm..." Piaofeng thought for a while, well, indeed not.I am ashamed to say that my age is at least dozens of times that of his, yet such a thing as the beginning of love has never happened.But... I at least understand how the words "love" and "love" are born, which is much better than that fledgling Pei Xi.

"Well, maybe you don't have any memory anymore. Two years ago, two celestial beings tried to change their established future by ordering Siluo, but they ended up unhappily. Your wife doesn't have enough "virtue" to become a celestial being after death. People, this alone is very tricky. Besides... this is not something that my position can interfere with. If you can persuade Shao Siming, then everything will be easy."

After talking for a long time, the focus was on the last sentence.Piaofeng feels very headache about such official language, but he has to say so.In his heart, he very much hoped that Pei Xi could help with this, although he felt that things would never go as smoothly as expected.

"So that's the case, then dare to ask where is Master Shao Si Ming now?"

According to human legend, Shao Si Ming is an amiable god who guards the young children of thousands of families in the world with a long sword in his hand, and grants people the ability to procreate and continue their offspring.

This statement is generally correct, but the term "amiable" is completely derived from the romantic imagination of the previous generations of witch priests.

"Si Li, call Pei Xi." Piao Feng ordered softly.

"Yes." After finishing speaking, Si Li walked out.

"He will come right away. Do you know how much time has passed since the soul left the body?" Piaofeng asked with concern.

"Based on the calculation of the time in the heavenly world, it will be three hours in about two quarters of an hour." Yu Chen was very anxious.

"You don't have to worry about this, I will cast a spell to keep your body and make you feel like you are asleep." This is the only place where Piaofeng can help.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, I feel grateful to Yuchen." Yuchen wanted to kneel down to thank him, but Piaofeng immediately took a step forward, stopping his movement.

"I can't afford to be a celestial being." Piaofeng thought in his heart, when he opened his eyes to peek at Yuechen's body in the human world, he found that he already had a mana barrier covered by a celestial being.

Clouds, mist, water vapor, this feeling is... the king in the cloud, Pingyi?

Alas, it seems that Pei Xi, Yue Chen, and a fourth person other than himself knew about this matter, but since Yun Zhongjun took the initiative to protect him, he should be on the side of "support".

Pei Xi changed into a light blue silk dress, which was a gift from Mrs. Xiang at the official banquet.Originally, he wanted Piaofeng to change his mood, because he dangled in front of him in the original white suit all day long, like a ghost.If he changed into silk clothes of the same color and material as Piaofeng, it should make him feel very happy.

But... the intrusion of a mortal disturbed the original good mood.

"You are... Wu Yuechen?" Pei Xi stared at this uninvited guest with wide-eyed eyes.This man was two heads taller than him, and looked about the same age as Piaofeng. He didn't have a trace of heavenly aura in his body, only the smell of human sweat and tears.

"Yes... yes." Yue Chen turned his head and saluted the commander who unexpectedly appeared behind him.

"Pei Xi, you..." Piao Feng originally wanted to say "You are so handsome in this outfit", but thinking that now is not the time to say such words, she quickly shut up.

"Please go back." After Pei Xi finished speaking, she passed through the two of them coldly and sat down in her seat.

"Are you... Lord Shao Si Ming?" Yue Chen couldn't believe that such a young boy was actually one of the nine great gods.Not to mention Yue Chen, many people at the official banquet did not believe their eyes.

"It's my fault." Pei Xi buried her head in dealing with the messy and troubled marriages again. "Heaven and human beings cannot be connected by life silk, let alone heaven and mortals? The love and hatred that have not changed for thousands of years arise from "mind", and the key to elevating mortals to heaven is "virtue". Please, why don’t you practice these two things with your wife.”

"But Pei Xi..." Piaofeng couldn't help but speak for Yuechen. "It's enough for me to miss, but "virtue" is a bit difficult for others. The woman named Mu Xia was born with constant illness. One must be able to protect oneself, and then one can protect others. She can't achieve " De' is also based on this reason..."

"Then, please transfer my virtue to her." Yuechen begged, his red eyes were full of sad tears.

But as soon as this request was uttered, Piaofeng and Pei Xi's eyes widened.

I've never heard that... the "virtue" of a celestial being can be handed over to a mortal, and it's impossible to do it with their existing divine power.

"I think... only the Eastern Emperor can do it in this world." Piaofeng guessed.

"It is impossible for the Lord Donghuang to agree," Pei Xi immediately continued his words. "I heard from my father that there were examples of people in the past who used Mingsiluo privately to achieve marriages that violated the common customs. Father and Yuelao helped others out of sympathy, and the former chief minister was also convicted for this. You told me, Dong The emperor has the ability to read people's minds, so why do we do things against his will?"

Moreover, you have been in this position for more than two years, and I have just taken the position.If he was dismissed or demoted, his father would definitely not let it go.

Pei Xi only said the following words in her heart, and did not dare to reveal them to Piaofeng, for fear that he would misunderstand that she is a person who loves fame and fortune.

Piaofeng understands Pei Xi's scruples, and also hears that Yue Ming concealed the ins and outs of the disaster from him.For Yuechen's request, he is really helpless, but he is in charge of life and death in the world, and he can teach this woman to heal without medicine and live a long life just by modifying a few words in the book of life and death.

"Pei Xi, even though the Eastern Emperor might notice it, I still hope...you can keep your mouth shut and don't reveal the secret of this witch priest." Piaofeng said in an almost pleading tone.Furthermore, this is also for the sake of Jun Pingyi in Yunzhong, and the matter of his help cannot be exposed.

"However," Pei Xi said again, "maybe ordinary celestial beings will not notice the difference between mortals and us, but great gods will definitely be able to. My martial arts background is very shallow, but I can tell within ten feet A mortal is walking in the palace. If other officials with high supernatural powers happen to pass by the Siming Palace, it will be bad. Not only his whereabouts, but also the way we deal with it will be seen by everyone. "

Hearing this, Yue Chen's originally lifeless face became even more gloomy.He didn't resent the ruthlessness of this young commander, but only felt sad for his own fate.

"Piaofeng...you are very kind. As senior Lingjun said, you are not suitable for commanding. I...actually like you as a friend very much, so...I hope you don't do anything that will put you at a disadvantage Stupid thing." Pei Xi said.

"Huh?" Piaofeng almost burst into tears of joy when he heard it.But thinking about it, this is not the right moment to cry and laugh, so he had to endure it.

"Jiwu Yuechen, please go back. I hope you can understand our predicament and don't embarrass us anymore." Pei Xi thought that her words and deeds had reached the limit of being polite, especially for a mortal. Word.

"But..." Yuechen still wanted to fight, but when he raised his eyes, he saw a dissatisfied and impatient look on Pei Xi's brows.

Fearing that Pei Xi's temper would explode suddenly, Piao Feng shouted: "Si Li, Si Le, Qian Jian, the three of you step back first! Hurry up!"

"Yes..." This was the first time they saw Piaofeng's strict and solemn expression.Although there are doubts and worries, but the inferiority is not enough to share, so I can only obediently obey the order and resign.

Sure enough, the handle of the red whip came to Pei Xi's right palm.If it is a mortal, it must be too weak to be vulnerable. Even if the injured is not the physical body, the damage to the soul will seriously impact the physical body, and it may be difficult to even go back.

"Pei Xi, you can't do this, let me handle it." Piao Feng stood in front of Yue Chen.

"How do you want to deal with it?" Pei Xi couldn't tell whether she was angry or worried.

"Pei Xi, I think you should know: Among the nine great gods, my official rank is slightly higher than yours. If there is a dispute between the Siming Palace and the government, you have to listen to me."

Without giving Pei Xi any time to refute, Piaofeng opened the door lightly, turned around and said to the two, "Wait for me here."

"Waiting for you?" Pei Xi was very puzzled, did he want to go out and find someone to help?But the less people know about this, the better.Or do you want to calm down and think about a good strategy?But time has not allowed him to speculate. "Don't move." Pei Xi ordered to Yuechen, and turned around to follow behind Piaofeng.

On the long corridor, Piaofeng walked quickly to the library that stored a large amount of life experience materials of mortals.

In the hall, Yue Chen paced back and forth.In an instant, his eyes shifted to the book of nine songs on Pei Xi's desk.

"Is this... the book of life and death or something?" Yuechen raised his hand and turned a page, and the title of the front page read "East Emperor Taiyi".

The footsteps of Si Li and others approached, and according to Pei Xi's order, they had to monitor Yue Chen's every move to prevent him from messing around with the life silk Luo on the Tao puppet.

In a hurry, Yuechen stuffed Jiuge into his cuff.Little did he know that this move would lead to Cixian Lingjun's miserable afterlife.

"Li Sao" and "Nine Chapters" came to this world 50 years later.

[Note 1] Taken from <Jiu Ge Da Si Ming>: So what if you are full of sorrow?I hope our relationship will last forever.People are born with a destiny, whether it is parting or parting, what can be done?
