I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

After Yang Jian flew to the Miluo Palace in the upper Qingtian, he failed to meet the ancestor Yuanshi Tianzun immediately, but was invited by two little Taoist boys who had just turned a thousand years old to rest and wait in the Fuyun Tingzhu Pavilion with a smile.

The attitude of these two Miluo Palace Taoist boys was very enthusiastic, they poured spirit tea and jade liquid for Yang Jian at one time, and some other rare products such as fairy fruit and green lotus root, but they never mentioned when they would see Yuanshi Tianzun.After being questioned repeatedly by Yang Jian, the two boys evaded and said that Da Tianzun was taking a nap at this time, and it was not appropriate to disturb them, and asked Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun to wait for a while.

Hearing this, Yang Jian got up and wanted to leave, so he only said to come to see his master another day.Seeing this, the two Taoist boys hurried to stay with the guests, and said again and again that the Great Tianzun had ordered them to treat Zhenjun Erlang well, and don't let their popularity go away because of naughtiness and rudeness.After saying this, the two boys ran away in a hurry, leaving only Yang Jian alone in Fuyun Listening to Bamboo Pavilion, waiting for Yuanshi Tianzun to summon him.

It was not the first time for Yang Jian to visit Master Patriarch. Seeing the behavior of the boy who received him now, he knew that the two of them must have received the order of the Great Heavenly Venerable to leave him in the Shangqing Heaven for the time being.The reason for keeping him is probably related to the affairs of the lower realm.

"Since it's a short rest, the master will definitely meet me today, I'll wait and see," Yang Jian looked at the floating clouds and listened to the grand scene of the fairy family outside the bamboo pavilion, and thought to himself, "Friend Yin's methods... are enough to deal with mortal affairs. Now, even if I rush back to her right now, it won't be of much help. Why don't you wait patiently in this Miluo Palace and listen to what the master has to say, maybe you will have the opportunity to help Taoist Yin resolve the 11-year After death."

Yang Jian not only trusts Pei Xiang's coping ability, but also trusts the master's way of doing things and his love and kindness for his disciples.Therefore, after realizing that he was deliberately stumbling in the Miro Palace, instead of being panicked or leaving in a hurry, he drank tea and enjoyed the scenery leisurely.

In the Guangming Hall, Yuanshi Tianzun, who saw this scene, waved away the sky mirror with a flick of his sleeve, and nodded with a smile.

Zhenyuan Ziwen, who was looking at the sky mirror at the side, praised:

"Qingyuan Zhenjun's Taoist heart is clear and harmonious, his heart is mellow and clear, and he is worthy of being a disciple of the Great Heavenly Venerable."

Yuanshi Tianzun said modestly: "It's too early to praise him now. Let's see how long my disciple can wait with peace of mind. If he can always be clear-headed and calm, I will help him. If he is robbed by love If you lose the clarity of the Lingtai, you should go through some hardships to sharpen your temperament, so as not to fall into the magic barrier in the future."

Zhen Yuanzi glanced at his apprentices waiting outside the door, and pointed out Yuanshi Tianzun's secret pride with a smile:

"Those who have experienced the calamity of love will be haunted by their spirits, their hearts will be influenced by them, and their spiritual platforms will be soaked in them, otherwise they will not be counted as catastrophes. Those who have survived the catastrophe of love, even if they are calm and self-sufficient on weekdays, they will be moved by love. If you have a problem, you will inevitably have to think, think, worry, and worry, and you can no longer be at ease. Therefore, in my opinion, Qingyuan Zhenjun must be anxious and worried at this time, but he can sit quietly and wait for his eyes to be happy. Presumably it is because of the extreme trust in the master. He feels that the Great Heavenly Venerable really loves the disciples, and the Taoism is profound and magnificent, and it is his reliance when he breaks the predicament, so he behaves like this."

Yuanshi Tianzun was picked out by his old friend Zhenyuan Daxian, and he didn't think so, but replied:

"Then Yin Wenjiao hasn't accepted you as a teacher yet, so you have maintained it openly and secretly. In the past, when you and I met, I didn't see you praising Qingyuan much. It was just getting along with each other normally, but this time you are so verbose. Be careful. It was a waste of effort, and in the end you won't be able to accept yourself as an apprentice, but my apprentice and grandson will benefit a lot."

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said: "If I don't accept as an apprentice, Yin Wenjiao will die and Yang Erlang will fall in love, neither will be better."

"Then why don't you go down to earth to accept apprentices, and then try your best to guide her to become a fairy as soon as possible. Go, go, don't let my disciple's practice be affected by being tired and lazy." Yuanshi Tianzun urged the ancestor of the earth immortal with a smile that was not a smile. .

Hearing this, the ancestor of the earth immortal with the holy name "Same King as the World" sighed:

"It's not time to accept apprentices. Do you think I don't want to resolve the catastrophe of my precious ginseng fruit tree as soon as possible?"

Yuan Shi Tianzun was not surprised when he heard that Zhen Yuanzi linked the matter of accepting apprentices with the doom of the ginseng fruit tree, probably because he had already learned the whole story from Zhen Yuan.

It turned out that thousands of years ago, the Great Immortal Zhenyuan had a feeling one day, and predicted that the Cao Huan Dan in his Wuzhuang Temple would suffer a catastrophe, and if he didn't pay attention, his life would be cut off.Zhen Yuanzi was shocked and heartbroken.Even if it was later deduced that there was a lot of life in this catastrophe, so that the spiritual root of the day would not disappear, but it still could not make Zhen Yuanzi feel at ease.Because no matter what, his precious ginseng fruit tree will suffer some torture and experience danger.

A thousand years have passed like this.

About seven or eight years ago, when Zhen Yuanzi once again resolutely tried to figure out a way to help the ginseng fruit tree avoid doom, a new change suddenly appeared in the hexagram that was always full of dangers.A chance that can make people avoid catastrophe for ginseng fruit trees has emerged quietly. Although it is looming and uncertain, it is better than not existing.

At this point, Zhen Yuanzi began to pay attention to this opportunity to help ginseng fruit trees.However, looking at it, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help feeling a little worried.

He thought to himself, this opportunity is really not so easy to grasp, and he was even involved in such a big event as the reincarnation of the Buddha in the West, if not done well, this erratic opportunity might be blown away.At that time, his ginseng fruit tree will have to suffer through life and death...

Yuan Shi Tianzun saw that Zhen Yuanzi was depressed, so he persuaded:

"Even if you can't grasp the opportunity, it's not a doomsday situation. The Grass Returning Pill is the spiritual tree at the beginning of the primordial, and there must be a bit more favored by the world. When encountering a catastrophe, there must be a solution."

"Although it is not a dead end, when encountering a catastrophe, it is the grass in my garden that will suffer and suffer. When I usually take care of the spiritual root, I always take good care of it. It has been tens of thousands of years. How can I be willing to let him Going through this torment. If you can avoid suffering, it is better not to suffer. Hey, the fate predicts that the relationship between me and Yin Wenjiao as a master and apprentice is the key to resolving the disaster of the ginseng fruit tree. Where did you come from?"

"Don't worry, just listen to me for a few more days and the matter will become clear. Besides, although you have countless disciples, if you want to become your true disciple, you still need to make some achievements, otherwise you will have no chance For no reason, she can't afford the identity and name of this true disciple."

Zhen Yuanzi's eyes lit up, he nodded and said: "This statement is very true, and I expected it to be so. If it is an ordinary person, how can it avoid disasters for the spiritual root that created the world. It also cannot attract the love of Qingyuan Zhenjun. "

Hearing Zhen Yuanzi mention the word "Love Tribulation" again, Yuanshi Tianzun raised his eyebrows slightly, his heart moved at will, and a sky mirror appeared in front of him again.

In the mirror, Yang Jian was reading quietly in the Fuyun Listening Bamboo Pavilion, and he couldn't see the slightest sign of anxiety.

"Zhen Yuanzi, you just said a little less."

"Want to hear from you?"

"My grandson, it's true that Rumu trusts the master, but probably also trusts your future apprentice's ability, otherwise you wouldn't be so calm and composed."

——*——*——

When Yang Jian had to wait patiently in Miluo Palace in Shangqing Heaven, dozens of days had passed in the human world.

Pei Xiang and Wuji traveled westward all the way, first visited Famen Temple, then passed through Gongzhou City, and finally arrived at Hezhouwei on the border of Datang one evening.

The mother and son rested for a few days in the Fuyuan Temple in Hezhouwei. During the period, they found someone to handle the certificates and purchased a lot of daily necessities, and then left the border town with their bags.

"Mum, don't we ride horses? I think I could have a little red pony. My skin is so white, and it sure looks good on a little red pony with a flowered cloak."

"I also think you can have it. After all, you have plenty of pocket money." Pei Xiang smiled softly, but changed his tone, "But we don't ride horses now. This barren mountain is just a place where you can practice light work and find herbs with peace of mind. If you encounter tigers, leopards and wolves blocking the way, you can still exercise your skills."

Wuji, who had vaguely guessed his mother's plan, suddenly lost his expression, and the last hope of a relaxing trip in his heart was completely shattered, so he had to obey obediently.Fortunately, when he was in Guanjiangkou before, Wuji also experienced similar training, and he was not in a hurry as a novice, so he quickly adapted to the environment in the wild mountains and forests.

After walking for half a day, the mountain road became more rugged and difficult. From time to time, the mother and son pushed through the weeds and trees to find the way forward, and unknowingly came to a pothole.

Pei Xiang asked Wuji to be on guard secretly, while he jumped onto an old tree and looked around.She remembered that Tang Seng in the story encountered a group of demons near here, and was almost eaten. Later, at dawn, the demons dispersed, and Taibai Jinxing came forward to rescue Tang Seng.

But at this time, the sun was shining and the sky was full of light, Pei Xiang raised his eyes in disappointment, and found that apart from rocks, wild flowers and gurgling streams, there were common animals such as apes, monkeys, deer, birds and other common animals in the mountains, and there were no mountain spirits and tree monsters doing evil. .She secretly thought that the fate between Tang Monk and the monsters in the story probably wasn't something ordinary people could have.

"Let's go, watch out for poisonous snakes and insects." Pei Xiang gestured to his son, protecting him around the pothole, and chose another path to move on.

Wuji nodded with a serious expression. He knew that he was too young to protect his mother, so he tried his best not to hold her back.

In this way, the mother and son passed through the Shuangcha Ridge safely, and then climbed to the middle of the steep mountains.

"Wuji, are you hungry? Let's eat something here first."

"Okay, I want to drink some water first..."

Just when the mother and son were eating dry food seriously, there was the sound of a tiger roaring not far away, Wuji immediately put away the food in his hands, jumped up, and said to Pei Xiang excitedly:

"Wow, tiger, it's a tiger, mother, I want to see it!"

"You finish your lunch first. The tiger can't run very far, maybe it will appear in front of you on its own initiative after a while."

"Oh, that's fine." Wuji sat down again, stretched his neck and looked around after eating a mouthful of steamed buns, hoping that the tiger would come to the door automatically.

Looking at the expectant little boy, Pei Xiang reminded with a straight face:

"If you want to know the movement of the beasts in the distance, you must not only see with your eyes, but also listen with your ears, smell with your nose, mobilize your inner strength... feel the wind..."

So, after about one stick of incense, Wuji successfully waited for the tiger that came to his door automatically, and the young hunter who came chasing the tiger.

It was a strong young man with some immature facial features, or a teenager, in short, this person has grown up, and he looks very burly and vigorous.Holding a cold steel fork in his hand, and a poison bow hanging from his waist, he jumped and ran among the mountains and forests on a pair of deerskin boots, chasing after the fleeing colorful tigers.

Pei Xiang knew that there were humans chasing tigers, so he was not surprised to see this tiger-fighting hero.On the other hand, Wuji was only concerned with researching and detecting the tiger's movements before, and ignored the person who was chasing the tiger. Now that he saw him suddenly, he was stunned at first, and then very happy again.Because having people means having a house to live in, and having a house to live in means being able to take hot baths and eat hot, fresh meals.He is a kid with some particular living habits, he cares more about his own hygiene and the quality of basic necessities of life.

At the same time, Liu Boqin who came chasing the tiger also noticed Pei Xiang's mother and son.His first reaction was that the mountain spirits and wild monsters turned into women and children to deceive and eat people, and his second reaction was wondering how the monster's meat tasted?Especially the one who turned into a child, looks quite white and tender, maybe a rabbit spirit?

In short, the following situation is a bit chaotic, Liu Boqin fights tigers, Wuji watches tigers, Liu Boqin is secretly on guard against goblins cheating and cannibalism, Wuji wants to get close so that he can spend the night and take a bath, plus Pei Xianghe, who is not a big deal to watch the excitement Tigers on the run...

An hour and a half later, Pei Xiang and Wuji's mother and son became guests of the Liu family.After Pei Xiang saw a doctor and prescribed medicine for Liu Boqin's seriously ill father, they became very popular guests.After Liu's father's condition gradually improved the next day, the mother and son became temporary guests at the warm invitation of Liu's family, and the consultation fee was exchanged for accommodation.

"Mother, didn't you say you were going to visit Monkey King? Why did you stop here?"

"The Great Sage should be at the foot of Liangjie Mountain not far away. Don't worry, Mother will take you there tomorrow morning. We will stay here for a while, and you can visit him often and talk to him."

"I made a note. Mother, who are we waiting for when we live here?"

"Well, do you still remember the Master Kongwen we met when we rented Fuyuan Temple?"

"Wuji remembers it. I like Master Kongwen. He is proficient in Buddhism and is very devout, and, and... he is different from others. When he explained the scriptures to me, he asked many questions himself. Come, and then I often fall into confusion. Mother, I like those questions of Master Kongwen, and I also like his attitude in doing research. After consulting with him a few times, I feel that I have made great progress."

"Yes, he is different from others."

Pei Xiang smiled slightly, thinking of the nine scripture learners who were eaten by the punished rolling shutter general in the Liusha River in the story.

——The bones are not sinking, and they are all eminent monks who have attained the Tao.

She thought to herself, before Tang Seng, there were actually Buddhist scripture learners with firm will and pious heart. Even without the protection and help of any gods, they had already reached the area of ​​Liusha River, but it's a pity...

Withdrawing his scattered thoughts, Pei Xiangwen said:

"Master Kongwen is eager to understand more Buddhist truths, and hopes to read more Buddhist classics. He wants to use the mysterious Buddhist principles to influence more suffering beings, save the souls of the dead, relieve all injustices, and eliminate innocent disasters. Therefore, if he is determined If he goes to Tianzhu Buddhist Kingdom in the Lingshan Mountain of Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures, I will escort him there."

"what?"

At this time, Wuji only knew that he was the reincarnation of a Buddha, and he didn't know that he would still be tasked with obtaining the scriptures in the future, so he simply said with emotion:

"I didn't expect Master Kongwen to have such an ambition. It's amazing! No wonder I heard the masters of Fuyuan Temple always say to Master Kongwen, um, they said that the water is far away, the mountains are high, the cliffs are steep and the ravines are deep, and there are some poisonous demons." Evil monsters cannibals, now that I think about it, they are trying to persuade Master Kongwen not to learn scriptures, right?"

Pei Xiang nodded slightly, and she gently stroked her son's black hair, thinking to herself:

"The truth is hard to come by. I will take you through a full simulation first, but it is probably a simplified version, because some monsters have not been released at this time. But don't worry, we mother and son can first understand the route and terrain, and then by the way Escort an eminent monk with a firm Buddhist heart to Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan to see...whether a monk who is not the reincarnation of a Buddha can ask for the scriptures..."

Thinking of this, Pei Xiang's eyes turned lightly, flashed a faint eagerness, and immediately returned to calm and indifferent.She temporarily suppressed all the thoughts in her heart, and said slowly:

"Wuji, we protect Master Kongwen on his westward journey, and then ask him to teach you Buddhist knowledge on the way, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone."

"It kills three birds with one stone," Wuji said with shining eyes, "Actually, I also want to visit Daleiyin Temple."

Pei Xiang smiled and said nothing more.She lowered her head to handle the herbs that the old man of the Liu family needed, and at the same time explained carefully to Wuji.
