I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

After getting the answer he wanted, Pei Xiang immediately rewarded Yuan Shoucheng with money, and then thought that this hexagram was very helpful to him, so he took out another bottle of health-preserving pills that he carefully refined, and gently placed it on the Eight Immortals table in front of Yuan Shoucheng superior.

"A small thank you is not a respect, please accept it with a smile from Mr. Yuan."

Yuan Shoucheng saw that Pei Xiang had given away other gifts besides divination money, and that he was only sincerely thanking him, so he couldn't help but sighed softly.Immediately, he moved his fingers slightly, his lips fluttered and muttered, and then he said calmly:

"There is no reward for no merit, one hexagram for one problem. The lady has already paid enough money for this hexagram, and it would be inappropriate to give Yuan such a panacea."

Pei Xiang persuaded him sincerely: "For Mr. Yuan, it may be just a lesson in his pocket, but for me, it is a guide to the maze, and it is also a peace of mind pill. A mere amount of money is not enough. Express gratitude."

Hearing this, Yuan Shoucheng said in a low voice: "The lady also said that this hexagram is an ordinary hexagram for Yuan. Yuan does business here and always treats everyone equally. As long as there is a problem with the sunny and rainy weather in Chang'an City, the money is the same. However, the elixir of the lady is indeed a good thing, and it is also what Yuan needs. When it is sent to Yuan at this time, he is really reluctant to return it. , Yuan Mou gave the lady another hexagram, which is equivalent to this bottle of panacea, how about it?"

"Naturally, I can't ask for it. Please ask Mr. Yuan to remind me."

Seeing that Pei Xiang readily agreed, Yuan Shoucheng did not pretend to be mysterious, so he said bluntly:

"When I first met my lady, Yuan felt that there was something different about her face. She seemed to have died prematurely, and there was a glimmer of life. After careful calculation, I found that my lady had successfully survived the previous catastrophe through extraordinary means. It is gratifying to have found that vitality.

"It's just... catastrophe is unavoidable, but death is inevitable. Even though the lady is like a fish in the sea and a bird in the forest, she is reclusive and carefree, but after all, there are no holidays, and only 11 years of life are left. Alas, what a pity pity."

This assertion made Pei Xiang's face change slightly, and she immediately thought of the ending of Yin Wenjiao's suicide in the story. At that time, it happened to be after Tang Xuanzang found his mother to save his father and his family was reunited.

——Now, Wuji is exactly seven years old, and in another 11 years, isn't it just right.

At this moment, Pei Xiang suddenly realized something. She raised her head and stared at the vast and high blue sky, as if she had an instant intersection with the dark way of heaven, and also seemed to see that the thread of fate twisted and twisted in thousands of ways, but eventually pointed to in the same direction.

"If I die early...if I'm not willing to struggle to survive..." Pei Xiang pondered with downcast eyes, his mind was spinning, and in a moment he deduced the greatest possibility from various hypotheses, "Wuji wants to save me, the easiest way to find The best way is to become a pilgrim from the Western Paradise. If he makes great contributions to Buddhism and achieves positive results, then, as his mother, I will naturally be sealed, and I will be regarded as resurrected at that time... So, looking down from the sky outside the sky, Thousands of struggles and helplessness in the mortal world, in fact, they are just a little off the direction, and finally they will come back to the end point..."

Just when Pei Xiang was distracted and thinking, Zhenjun Erlang's phoenix eyes were slightly cold. How could he believe that Pei Xiang only had such a short lifespan, so he slightly raised his hand, and put a pearl of the East China Sea in front of Yuan Shoucheng, Shen Channel:

"The way of divination is fickle, and not all divinations are accurate. Mr. Yuan, forgive Yang for being reckless and suspicious. At this moment, I also want to try Mr. Yuan's talent."

Yuan Shoucheng took a serious look at the cold-faced True Monarch with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and said with a faint smile, "Excuse me."

Yang Jian frowned and said, "Let me ask you, when did you say I arrived in Chang'an City, and which city gate did I enter through?"

This Yuan Shoucheng's hexagram technique is truly miraculous.After listening to Yang Jian's question, he immediately pinched his fingers and calculated, and after a while, he got up suddenly, saluted Zhenjun Erlang, and then replied loudly:

"According to Yuan's hexagram, Zunxian arrived in Chang'an at about a quarter of Yin hour today. He didn't enter through the city gate, but rode a heavenly horse to the top of the capital, and the colorful clouds and fairy mist came from the sky."

Hearing Yuan Shoucheng's answer, Yang Jian fell silent for a moment.

He suddenly questioned this person just now, and naturally it was not for the sake of emotional dispute or idle provocation.He was really worried that Pei Xiang had answered the hexagram that the day would not be a holiday, so he asked the question suddenly out of luck, trying to prove that Yuan Shoucheng was not accurate every time, but it backfired.

Pei Xiang on the side was not as restless as Yang Jian, her attention accidentally fell on the "Yin Shi Ji Mo", and she thought, it turned out that Zhenjun Erlang arrived in Chang'an at around [-]:[-] in the morning Yes, this is much earlier than his visit...

After leaving Yuan Shoucheng's divination booth, Pei Xiang pointedly said:

"I originally thought that Zhenjun set off from Guanjiangkou this morning. When passing through Chang'an, I thought that Wuji and I were staying here temporarily, so I came to meet our mother and son. Unexpectedly, Zhenjun left the dojo in the middle of the night, and then arrived in Chang'an city early. .”

Yang Jian: "... Occasionally I felt something, and when I got excited, I went out late at night, which was really interesting."

Pei Xiang smiled, stopped talking about it, and started talking about Yuan Shoucheng's hexagram:

"True Monarch doesn't need to bother you much, and the death calamity is not unsolvable. According to what Mr. Yuan said, I will face the calamity 11 years later, but I don't know whether it will be a sudden dangerous accident or a serious illness. Different ways of dying , there are different ways to deal with it, just do your best.”

Yang Jian closed his eyes. He also felt that he had lost his composure just now. If Pei Xiang hadn't interrupted him suddenly with the question of the departure time, he would have taken Pei Xiang to meet the real person Yuding.

If Master, the old man, can't help it, then he can go to the King of the Ten Temples to change the book of life and death, go to Penglai Xiandao Longevity to find some elixir to increase lifespan, or simply ask Donghua Emperor for a pill that can heal the world. The "Nine Turns of Taiyi Returning Pills" of thousands of creatures...

Suppressing the depression and anxiety in his heart, Yang Jian thought for a moment, and immediately grasped some key points.

"Fellow Taoist Yin, if Yuan Shoucheng's hexagram is correct, your death 11 years later may be related to the reincarnation of the Buddha. If so, the ordinary way of prolonging life probably won't work. It's always complicated and mysterious. Moreover, the first hexagram also calculated the master-student relationship between you and Zhenyuan Daxian, which may be where the vitality lies."

Pei Xiang nodded slightly, then continued Yang Jian's analysis:

"If I can successfully enter the sect of the ancestor of the earth immortal before the calamity of death comes, no matter whether I can attain the Tao and become an immortal, I will be detached from the three realms and not among the five elements, I think I will definitely be able to avoid early death If I have not yet won the favor of Zhenyuan Daxian when the calamity of death comes... then I have to find another way."

Yang Jian stopped and asked with dewy eyes.

Pei Xiang smiled sweetly, and gently shook his head at Zhenjun Erlang:

"I can't say it for the time being. First, I don't know if it will be successful. Second, I'm afraid that it won't work if I speak it out."

"That being the case, what do you need me to do for you?" Yang Jian really stopped asking about Pei Xiang's plan, but expressed his attitude of wanting to help.

However, Pei Xiang did not want Zhenjun Erlang to further participate in this matter.He is a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, a cultivator of Xuanmen. He has experienced the battle of conferring gods back then, and because of his parents' background, he has some grievances with the Jade Emperor of Heaven, and his own situation is a bit delicate. Rise and fall?A careless move at that time, although it will not lose everything, but it will only increase troubles.

"Zhenjun, I'm also the first to hear about death robbery, how can I have a comprehensive plan right away?" Pei Xiang smiled calmly and sincerely, "It's just some vague ideas that haven't been carefully considered, and I don't know if it's feasible? Wait In the future, when the plan is comprehensive, I will ask Zhenjun to help me."

Yang Jian looked down at the sincerity in Pei Xiang's eyebrows, and immediately concluded by instinct that she was not telling the truth.With a sigh, Yang Jian pretended to believe Pei Xiang's explanation, and no longer insisted on expressing his position, so as not to add too much emotional burden to Pei Xiang.

She knows him, and he understands her.

After this day, Pei Xiang didn't mess up her schedule, and she and Zhenjun Erlang still had fun in and around Chang'an City and spent their days leisurely.When Wuji returned from Huasheng Temple, Pei Xiang had already participated in two flower viewing parties with different themes and a literary appreciation meeting for literati and refined scholars, and bought a lot of books, stationery, clothes and jewelry.

"Mom, where are we going next?" Wuji, who had been reciting Buddhist scriptures for many days with his newly bought toys and snacks in his arms, deeply felt that he needed to relax for a few days.

"Go west after leaving Chang'an. Remember the Monkey King I mentioned? Let's visit him."

"I know, going to Liangjie Mountain, that's our destination," Wuji nodded, "Then we can't keep our heads on our way, why don't we stay somewhere else?"

Pei Xiang smiled and said: "Naturally, I will stay here. This time, I will let you stay in the temple for a few days and experience the life of a monk in the temple. Next time, I will take you to a famous academy with a good academic style to stay for a while. I also want you to go to the classroom to listen to the lectures, and experience the student life with classmates and wives. Then, um, if we encounter the injustice of bullying men and women..."

Xiao Wuji listened to Pei Xiang's plan with joy, his eyes were extremely bright.He couldn't help touching his hair, thinking to himself that he was right in not allowing Master Ciming to stay and study in the temple.If you become a young monk, how can you travel and experience different lives with your mother?

"Uncle Zhenjun, will you come with us too?" Wuji, who likes to share, turned his head to look at Erlang Zhenjun standing by the window, with a look of anticipation and joy in his heart.

Yang Jian shook his head slowly and gave a negative answer.He said that he still had a few friends to visit, and after leaving Chang'an, it would be inconvenient for him to travel with their mother and son all the way.

Hearing this, Wuji let out an "oh" in disappointment, and suddenly felt that those rich and interesting arrangements were not so attractive, and it would be better for the three of them to simply be together every day.

For Wuji, although Uncle Zhenjun and Mother are sometimes reluctant to take him to play, and the topics they talk about are too complicated and obscure for him to understand, but whenever two adults are present at the same time, the child always feels that he is not happy. Extra peace of mind.

Yang Jian caught a glimpse of the disappointment on Wuji's small face, and noticed the obvious surprise and surprise in Pei Xiang's eyebrows, and almost blurted out and changed his mind.

However, as soon as he thought of Yuan Shoucheng's hexagram, Yang Jian immediately restrained the urge to stay and walk with him, and tried his best to restrain the true emotions in his eyes, showing a calm and gentle appearance.

Looking thoughtfully at the handsome and handsome Zhenjun Erlang, Pei Xiang didn't ask any more questions, and only regarded Zhenjun Erlang as telling the truth.Just like she was looking for excuses to avoid getting Zhenjun Erlang into trouble, she had no choice but to listen to Zhenjun Erlang's reasons. Could it be that he was not allowed to visit his friends?What is your identity and position?

Sure enough, when the day came to leave Chang'an City, they had just walked out of the city gate when Zhenjun Erlang said goodbye and left.I saw auspicious clouds forming under his feet, and in a blink of an eye, he flew into the mid-air through the clouds and fog. After a while, his figure completely disappeared in the sky.

"Mother, Uncle Zhenjun is driving the cloud faster again, I feel he is a little anxious. He must miss those friends very much, just like I miss Xiaotian, Uncle Guo Shen, Uncle Hu Er and Old Guiye."

After touching his son's little head, Pei Xiang gave a soft "hmm" and said softly:

"It looks really anxious. However, my mother heard that the fastest man riding the clouds has to be the Monkey King. It is said that his tendons can cover hundreds of thousands of miles in a single somersault, so that's really amazing speed." Woolen cloth."

"One hundred and eight thousand miles, wow," Xiao Wuji opened his mouth wide in surprise, and calculated quickly with a few little fingers, "If we take a somersault cloud to go to Lingshan, wouldn't it be a day? This is really true. Awesome... Mother, tell me the story about the havoc in the Heavenly Palace again?"

As nothing happened on the road, Pei Xiang agreed to his son's request to tell a story and told the story of the Monkey King...

While the mother and son were traveling slowly, Yang Jianyun turned his head and went to the overseas fairy island.

He first visited Penglai Xiandao where Fu Lu Shou Sanxing is located, and was told by the housekeeper there that Sanxing went to heaven to attend the banquet of the Queen Mother a few days ago, and now it is only seven or eight days away from the island, according to the instructions before leaving , It is estimated that it will take more than ten days to return.

"Why did it take more than ten days to return?"

"Xiansheng Zhenjun, Xiaodao heard from Master that after the feast of the Queen Mother, there will be the alchemy meeting of the Taoist ancestors. At that time, it will definitely take a few days for all the immortals to gather to discuss the alchemy, and the shortest is eight to nine days. It can be more than ten days long, which is not certain."

The boy's words made Yang Jian's heart sink slightly. He counted the time, and inquired about the names of the banquet attended by the three stars of Fu, Lu, and Shou, and immediately remembered what happened on the day of Pei Xiangsheng's Wuji.

At that time, Tota Li Tianwang and Nanji Xingjun came together to invite him to the heavenly court to attend the queen mother's banquet. It has been more than seven years since now.But one day in the fairy world is one year in the mortal world, and Wuji is seven years old now, isn't it just the seven or eight days on this fairy island?And that Laojun's alchemy event... took longer.

He thanked the boy, and then went to visit Donghua Emperor and Yingzhou Jiulao, and got almost the same answer.The boy guarding the gate and the gatekeepers on the island told Yang Jian that the masters of Fangwaixian Island had all gone to the Heavenly Court for a banquet, and after that, they would also attend the alchemy meeting of the Supreme Lord.

"There are more than ten days in the sky, and more than ten years on the ground. Therefore, if I want to exchange medicine pills for Yin Daoyou and the magic weapon to resolve the death calamity, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. I can't go to the Taoist Pill Meeting to mention this matter. That will make all the previous arrangements of Yin Daoyou come to naught.

"Those immortals probably didn't realize Yin Daoyou's Li Daitao's stiff plan. Even Nanji Xingjun, who is doing this for Guanyin Bodhisattva, probably thinks that the reincarnation of the Buddha is in Jinshan Temple in Jiangzhou at this moment, so he can go to the banquet with peace of mind. ...However, even if they don't know the details of the lower realm, these immortals just avoided it at a critical moment. Daozu's alchemy meeting, the Great Immortal Zhenyuan should also be invited, so even if Fellow Daoist Yin is going to Wuzhuang Temple at this moment Apprenticeship, probably also misses the point."

Thinking of this, Yang Jian felt a slight chill in his heart.He stood in mid-air with his hands behind his back, under his feet was the vast expanse of blue waves, above his head was the endless blue sky, surrounded by auspicious clouds, and the left and right sides were bright and colorful.However, Yang Jian didn't have any interest in appreciating the magnificent scenery. He only felt that the mystery was unpredictable, showing the mighty and unstoppable power in a silent manner...

But... so what!

Yang Jian summoned his dragon horse, Tianma, and went directly to Master Yuding's cave.

"Master..."

"Qingyuan, you don't need to say anything more. Your master ancestor told you as a teacher a few days ago, saying that your love calamity has arrived. We will not intervene in how to overcome the calamity. It depends on your Dao heart and chance."

"It's not robbery, master, this disciple thinks it's pretty good." Yang Jian's tone was calm but determined.

"Isn't it a robbery? What is not allowed by the rules of heaven, if it is not a robbery?"

Hearing Master Yuding mention the rules of heaven, Yang Jian remained silent, but his eyes were sharp and rebellious. He never thought that...the rules of heaven cannot be violated.

Master Yuding looked at the arrogant and sincere apprentice, shook his head, and sighed:

"You, forget it, if I could persuade you, you wouldn't have split the mountain to save your mother, and you wouldn't have gone to heaven and just lived in Guanjiangkou these years...Forget it, go to your ancestor, he should have ordered something about you."

Yang Jian bowed and saluted, then turned and left.After leaving the cave, he took the auspicious cloud and flew to Miluo Palace in the upper Qing Dynasty where Yuanshi Tianzun was located.

Behind him, Master Yuding gently put down a chess piece and muttered to himself:

"Da Tianzun's attitude towards this matter is rather ambiguous. Perhaps, Qingyuan's child has a bit more luck than his mother. Buddhism and Taoism... Forget it, we don't want to interfere, and those who chant scriptures can only watch, what will happen in the future, Let’s just look at the lower realm. I just hope that you don’t get stuck with this great fortune like a stunned young man.”
