I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

One evening, a large expanse of burning clouds rolled across the sky, covering all the scenery on the ground with a hazy glow, making everything look magnificent and charming.

On the secluded and open hillside, Pei Xiang silently counted the days in his heart while admiring the beauty and enchantment of nature.She thought to herself, according to Marshal Tianpeng's fast pace, something she predicted should almost happen.Even if it was earlier or later, it was only a day or two.

So, as soon as Pei Xiang turned his footsteps, he walked straight to the southwest, preparing to wait for a rabbit on a certain road that must be passed.

When the sun had completely set, Pei Xiang was blocked by the Canopy Marshal who hurried over near Erlang Temple.

Seeing this fellow fall from the clouds, Pei Xiang's eyes lit up when he was disguised as General Guo Shen among the six Meishan brothers, she strode forward and asked:

"Brother He Fang, you can see a white-winged and silver-feathered condor in the clouds and mist just now. It is the beloved pet of Xiansheng Erlang Zhenjun, and there is no room for loss."

The canopy that appeared at this moment has realized that he has been deceived by the fake great sage, and it is just when he is full of anger and displeasure, how can he be in the mood to pay attention to the disturbing inquiries of this passer-by.However, when he heard the name "Xiansheng Erlang Zhenjun", he immediately stopped in his tracks, and secretly suppressed his unhappiness to exchange greetings with Pei Xiang.

The two first reported their names, and then they talked politely.

"It's General Guo Shen, haha, no wonder when I was in Yuntou, my brother's face was familiar. I think back then, when your fourth Taiwei, the second general Meishan's six brothers, and Xiansheng Zhenjun fought against the Monkey King. Heavenly King and other heavenly soldiers and generals watched and helped. At that time, I admired Brother Guo's bravery and heroism, and wanted to make him a confidant. But at that time, I was busy dealing with the monkey who caused the disaster, and then I was eager to return to my life, so I didn't have time to get to know the brothers. , Hey, what a pity."

What Tianpeng said was half-truth and half-false. He did meet Guo Shen before, but at that time he was the majestic Marshal of Tianpeng who was conferred by the Jade Emperor himself, and the six Meishan brothers were all grass-headed gods who had not received Tianlu. He made friends on purpose.

But now the situation is different, Tianpeng, who has always been tactful, immediately showed a particularly regretful expression, and his mouth was full of affectionate words of sympathy.

This guy never doubted that "Guo Shen" was a fake, because he really couldn't imagine that there would be any daring spirit who would dare to pretend to be the brother of Zhenjun Erlang near Guanjiangkou.

Even though he had just been tricked by a monster who was good at changing, but after the monster successfully deceived him, he should have gone away and disappeared. How could he risk appearing here again?How could he have guessed that his canopy would come to Guanjiangkou?

Seeing that Tianpeng did not doubt her identity, Pei Xiang smiled and politely cupped his fists and said:

"It turns out that the marshal came here, and he didn't greet him from afar. I'm disrespectful and disrespectful. Please wait a moment, Marshal. I'll report back to my elder brother. It's just... I need the marshal to wait patiently for a while. Zhenjun led all his brothers to hunt in Dongshan the day before yesterday, and the harvest was quite fruitful." , I drank too much on a whim, I haven't completely sobered up yet, I'm still sleeping soundly, and wait for me to wake Zhenjun up."

When Tianpeng heard that Zhenjun Erlang was still drunk, he suddenly felt more timid in his heart.This time, Tianpeng himself was immoral after drinking, and even made a mistake of molesting Fairy Chang'e, and judged others by himself, so he was quite worried that Zhenjun Erlang was also a rambunctious and fierce guy who committed crimes while drunk.

He thought to himself: "That little sage was quite arrogant and cold when he was sober, but at any rate he was well-mannered. Now that he is drunk, if his dream is interrupted by a sudden awakening, he might lose his temper. If he gets drunk again Knowing the real purpose of my visit, wouldn’t that add anger to anger? It doesn’t matter if he gets angry, I’m just afraid that he won’t like me and beat me up drunk.”

Thinking of Zhenjun Erlang's fierce and superb skills, Tianpeng quickly grabbed Pei Xiang, and smiled apologetically:

"Wait a minute, General Guo, since the True Monarch is sleeping soundly, then don't wake him up. I'm here this time... hey, in fact, it's the same as what General Guo said about it. You don't have to disturb the True Monarch."

"This... Marshal came all the way from afar, it's my honor, how could..." Pei Xiang showed hesitation.

Tianpeng smiled foolishly, waved his hands and said: "It's not far, it's only a few days' work. Besides, I'm a guilty person now, so I don't dare to bother Zhenjun to greet you specially. Haha, that...General Guo, in fact, this matter It’s quite embarrassing to say it, but if I ask Zhenjun face to face, I’ll be a little bit embarrassed, so it’s better for the two of us to speak in private.”

Having said that, Pei Xiang naturally no longer pretended to be polite, she made a "please" gesture, inviting the canopy to sit on the ground under the shade of the tree.Then listen carefully to Canopy's ins and outs.

"Brother Guo, the cause of all this is that I cast the wrong baby in the panic..."

Tianpeng first beautified the process of becoming Chen Guangrui, and then continued:

"After I separated from the shameless monster pretending to be a great saint, I traveled all the way west. I didn't know that I was completely deceived until I saw the really beautiful Monkey King who was suppressed by the Buddha at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain! Bah, that damned Pocai, if you let me When I meet him again, I will definitely let him taste the power of the marshal's nine-toothed rake."

After hearing the story of the canopy, Pei Xiang showed a surprised expression on his face, but there was no disturbance in his heart.

After she deceived Marshal Tianpeng to go west, she expected that this guy was very likely to meet the real Monkey King at the Five Elements Mountain, and then realized that she had been cheated.And she hurried to Guanjiangkou to make arrangements in advance, in case the canopy came and asked Zhenjun Erlang to verify the authenticity.

——This little fairy can tell you the truth of the matter, there is really no need to worry more people.I lied, and I made amends, let all the gossip and rumors disappear in silence.It's great to brush off your clothes and leave without leaving credit or fame!

"Marshal, you are indeed deceived. My elder brother has never seen him since he helped the heavenly soldiers and generals capture the Monkey King 500 years ago, and there is no such thing as drinking to talk about friendship."

Pei Xiang quickly explained, his tone was decisive, and his heroic brows were full of indignation and anger, obviously he didn't like someone to frame Zhenjun Erlang.

"I know, that monkey said the same thing. But..." Tianpeng rubbed his hands with a smile, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, just pretend that I don't give up. Brother Guo, I just want to ask for an answer, that ... Erlang Zhenjun, does he really not know that girl Yin? No, to be precise, it is Miss Yin's previous life, and she must be a great beauty. It is said that there is no wind without waves, so the killing of me is not true. What do you know to scare me by saying it? Could it be that it is really something out of nothing?"

"Guo Shen" froze for a moment when he heard Tianpeng's rather self-deceiving questions.Immediately, he thought of the reason why the former Marshal of the Heavenly Court Water God was demoted to the mortal world, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of Canopy's confusion and "shrewdness" in terms of female sex.

"Hahaha, Marshal, it must be that elf who is good at changing is lying to you. What kind of confidante does Zhenjun have? He either wanders and hunts with us brothers all day long, or cultivates and enlightens alone. I know best. From my point of view, it is the false monkey king who used the name of the real king to bully you, so that he can take the opportunity to escape."

Hearing this, Tianpeng showed an expression of wanting to cry, but he patted his thigh and asked in a daze:

"Since the monkey is fake, and Zhenjun Erlang doesn't have any confidante, then where did my Jiaojiao go? Could it be that the black-hearted face-changing monster took me away? Oh, ah, the world is so big today, let me go Where can I find my wife?"

Pei Xiang sighed sympathetically, and persuaded with "good intentions":

"The marshal can search slowly and travel all over the four continents. Whether it's deep mountains, old forests or the people in the city, as long as you have the patience to search everywhere and ask everywhere, you will always find it. However, the Yin girl you are talking about is a mortal, about You will grow old after a few years. When you are looking, don’t always pay attention to young and beautiful women, but also pay more attention to those who are old and gray, so as not to accidentally miss the sweetheart.”

This suggestion brought Tianpeng back to his senses in an instant. He rubbed his face and fantasized about the old-fashioned Jiaojiao for a while...Suddenly, he lost his strong desire to find Pei Xiang.

Firstly, he didn't want to endure hardships and travel around, and secondly, he didn't want someone who died quickly at an early age.Tianpeng just wants to find a flowery partner who knows the cold and the hot, and then live a steady life for a long time.

"Speaking of which, I really need to find a female fairy. A mortal woman has a short lifespan, so she won't be able to stay with me for long. Tsk, it's no wonder that heaven doesn't allow immortals to fall in love. It really makes sense."

Pei Xiang couldn't help laughing when he heard Tianpeng's whisper.She raised her head to look at the sky, worried that something might be wrong, so she deliberately asked:

"I haven't asked the Marshal in detail before, but here I accidentally cast the wrong baby. Is there any remedy for the underworld, or do you plan to keep making mistakes?"

"Haha, it's okay to be wrong. It's okay for me to suffer a little bit, so I won't cause trouble to my former colleagues. Haha, I won't change if I don't." Tianpeng said with a generous face.

When Pei Xiang heard the words, he immediately cupped his fists to express his admiration, but couldn't help complaining that the underworld government was negligent in doing things, which caused the canopy to suffer.

Excited, she got up and wanted to leave, and tried her best to assure Tianpeng that she must tell Zhenjun Erlang about this, and let Zhenjun use the divine eyes in his forehead to check the fusion of soul and body for Tianpeng.

What's more, Erlang Zhenjun has always been loyal and jealous, and he admires the generous and open-minded people the most.If you know the injustice of the canopy, you must go to the underworld to reason for your friends.

Naturally, Tianpeng didn't know that these words were all made up by Pei Xiang pretending to be Guo Shen. Pei Xiang didn't know much more than Tianpeng about what kind of temper the real Erlang Zhenjun had.No, it should be less, because Canopy has at least met and talked with Erlang Zhenjun in the heaven.

Therefore, when Tianpeng heard that Pei Xiang mentioned the origin and identity of his body, and asked Zhenjun Erlang to check the details with his third eye, he was shocked.He got up from the ground while rolling and scrambling, and shouted in a panic:

"Well, brother Guo, since the matter is clear, I will stay soon. Don't bother Zhenjun, I am now a sinner who has been demoted to the mortal world, and frequent contacts with me will cause some bad speculations Yes. Hehe, I, I won’t implicate Zhenjun, so I bid farewell.”

After hastily finished the scene of refusal and polite refusal, Tianpeng didn't want to stay near Guanjiangkou any longer, for fear that he would accidentally meet Zhenjun Erlang, and then be discovered by that jealous little sage about the truth of reincarnation.Of course, Tianpeng is not afraid of losing face, what he is afraid of will always be Zhenjun Erlang's strength.

"It's so dangerous, so dangerous," Canopy, who said goodbye and left, rejoiced secretly as he rode through the clouds and fog, "I was so sad and angry that I was patronizing before, and as soon as my head got hot, I wanted to come to Zhenjun Erlang to ask him if he knew Miss Yin or not. His past life? Did he hide Miss Yin? But he forgot that I didn’t have a clean background, ouch, I almost fell into the jaws of a sheep!

"Fortunately, I was lucky. I met General Guo Shen first. I found out the truth and avoided the three-eyed Erlang Xiansheng. It's just...forget it. Since I lost Miss Yin's whereabouts, I'd better go find her." The jade-faced princess looking for a son-in-law, I hope that fake monkey didn't lie to me about it."

In this way, Tianpeng was fooled away by Pei Xiang again.

After his figure disappeared into the sky, Pei Xiang turned around leisurely and walked slowly and comfortably along the way he came.Of course, in order to prevent Tian Peng's whim from turning around again, Pei Xiang did not withdraw the illusion for the time being.

However, she hadn't enjoyed this relaxation for a long time, when she was disturbed by a frightened eagle cry.

She looked up and saw a handsome young man wearing a red gold crown with dragons playing pearls on his head and a battle armor robe with golden and white arrow sleeves coming from among the shining stars and moon. Dao Qi is high-spirited, but it is not someone else, it is Guan Jiangkou Erlang Zhenjun himself.

Behind him is a vigorous condor with pink wings and silver feathers, squatting at the feet of a white snarling dog, who was walking in the wind, but after the sound of the eagle, he lowered his head and looked around, just in time to catch a glimpse of his own house standing alone on the side of the road After worshiping his brother Guo Shen, he sent down auspicious clouds to disperse colorful mist, and floated down.

"Brother Guo Xian, Zensheng is here alone?"

Pei Xiang said inwardly that he was unlucky, but with a hearty smile on his face, he went forward:

"Brother, an old acquaintance passed by just now, and I chatted with him, because he left in a hurry, so I stayed here alone. It's just... Although I met briefly by chance, I was reminded of some past memories by this old friend. Thinking about going to the river for a boat ride, enjoying the stars, moonlight and fishing fire quietly."

"I didn't expect Brother Guo Xian to have such a delicate thought." Yang Jian smiled slightly, without asking about the details, but thoughtfully said, "Drinking on a moonlit night on the river should be paired with the fine wine Danfeng Baiyulu on Penglai Xiandao. I happen to be a new wine here. I got an altar, I won a bet from Qingyun Shangxian a few days ago, and it should be given to my virtuous brother for tasting."

Pei Xiang knew that Zhenjun Erlang and the six Meishan brothers had a deep relationship, so he didn't delay. He only showed an expectant expression of greedy for the wine, and naturally took the exquisite crimson wine jar that Yang Jian took out from Qiankun's sleeve.

All of this should have gone very smoothly, Yang Jian didn't want to disturb his good brother who wanted to be alone too much, and after presenting the perfect drink, he naturally turned around and left.And Pei Xiang's excuse is quite sufficient, avoiding too much conversation and getting along with Yang Jian.

It's just that she calculated people's hearts, but in the end she ignored Xiao Tiangou who was following Yang Jian.Just when the two were about to part, the pure white dog suddenly showed a vigilant look, and then rushed towards Pei Xiang's calf like lightning...

"Xiaotiangou has always been close to Brother Guo Shenxian, and he has no extra distractions. He only does things based on intuition and spirituality." Yang Jian looked at the person pretending to be Guo Shen with heavy eyes, and said in a low voice, "Please show your true face, Yang Jian does not want to be with Tibetans. Deal with those who hide their heads from their tails."

Pei Xiang took a cautious look at the half-closed eyes on Yang Jian's forehead, and honestly restored Yin Wenjiao's original appearance.

At the same time, facing the majestic Yang Jia Erlang, Pei Xiang, who consciously did something bad, was short of breath, and his attitude subconsciously became very gentle, earnest and cautious.

"The little girl pays homage to Xiansheng Erlang Zhenjun. She really has a lot of difficulties in changing her appearance this time. I dare not ask the Zhenjun for forgiveness. Please listen to the little girl's explanation and then make up your mind."

Yang Jian's divine eyes flickered slightly on his forehead, seeing that Pei Xiang really honestly took off the disguise to reveal his true appearance, he put away his vertical eyes again.

However, when Pei Xiang was speaking, an unspeakable complexity crossed Yang Jian's brows.In today's accident, he never expected that the daring person pretending to be Guo Shen turned out to be a human woman who knew some Taoism, nor did he expect that... this woman was pregnant.

"What are your reasons?"

Pei Xiang quickly raised his eyes and glanced at the handsome and handsome Erlang Zhenjun, then lowered his eyes to look full of sorrow and helplessness, slightly parted his red lips, and narrated the past.

"The little girl's surname is Yin and her name is Wen Jiao. She is from the Great Tang Kingdom. She has learned some magic tricks and some boxing skills since she was a child, but because of her master's instructions and her status as a boudoir daughter, she has never revealed her skills to others, nor has she had any experience in fighting enemies.

"When I got older... Later, I went to Jiangzhou with my newlywed husband Chen Guangrui. I didn't expect that the boatman had evil intentions and murdered my husband in the dead of night. When I realized it, the water bandits Liu Hong and Li Biao Chen Lang had already been beaten to death. To protect myself, I finally subdued the villain with the skills taught by my master, and rushed to the government office the next day to report the case and seek justice.

"Master Jiang, the magistrate of Hongzhou, interrogated the case clearly, and allowed me to go to the riverside to pay homage to my deceased husband... The impostor's words and deeds are extremely vulgar, he has no gentlemanly demeanor, and he is even a lecherous and absurd person. He is nothing like my Chen Lang. How could I not be aware of the difference? So, after a little inductive inquiry, I learned his true identity from the thief.

"He, he turned out to be the marshal of the canopy who was demoted to the earth. Because he was dissatisfied with his reincarnation status in the next life, he was very likely to lose the relationship between husband and wife, so he suddenly had delusional thoughts, snatched Chen Lang's body, and completely killed Chen Lang in this life. Lang..."

Hearing that the lustful man was the Marshal Tianpeng who molested Chang'e Fairy in the past, Yang Jian raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't doubt Pei Xiang's words, but he was a little more curious about how Pei Xiang escaped from Tianpeng's grasp.

Don't look at Yang Jian who lives in Guanjiangkou on weekdays and doesn't want to have more contact with Tianting, but his heart is like a mirror with its own gully, otherwise he wouldn't lead his brothers to live happily.Therefore, for Marshal Tianpeng, who was once in charge of the Tianting Navy, Yang Jian had evaluated the opponent's ability and character.

He knew very well that even though the Yin Daoist opposite him had a wonderful disguise illusion, but Tianpeng was not easy to get along with.Even though he is generally lazy, he is extremely clever and cunning when it comes to certain obsessive things, and he is quite scheming.Otherwise, the guy in Tianpeng would not be able to achieve Taoism and become a fairy, and he would be reused by the Jade Emperor.

Just when Yang Jian was distracted for a moment, Pei Xiang had already reached the point. She subconsciously slowed down her speech, and while carefully watching Zhenjun Erlang's complexion, she confessed to the victim:

"When I was young, I heard my master tell the story about the great sage Monkey King wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace. I knew that Grandpa Erlang Zhenjun was more powerful than those heavenly soldiers and generals, and he could fight evenly with the Monkey King. So, um, so, I will transform into a great sage first. Then, then, um, lied to Tianpeng by saying that I have a love debt with Zhenjun, you old man, and I plan to renew our marriage in this life. If Tianpeng insists on pestering me, it is tantamount to offending you old man...

"Grandfather Erlang Zhenjun is very famous, he is a famous warrior master in the Three Realms. He only reported your name, and Tian Peng's expression changed. He knew that he was invincible, and immediately ran away in fright. After receiving Zhenjun's kindness, As a result, I was free, so I hurriedly left Hongzhou and came to Guanzhou."

Yang Jian: Just... Suddenly I don't know what to say.
