Time flies, and I don't know how many years have passed.

On a certain star, on the side of a certain long river, there is a big riverside city called Huaishui.

The long river connects to the sea, and the river and sea transportation is extremely developed. Coupled with the abundant fish, rice, tea and salt, most of the people in Huaishui City are rich, and most of the people in the city live and work in peace and contentment. It is known as the southern capital of the Great River Kingdom.

People come and go in the city, and the busy scene of tall buildings row upon row cannot be expressed in words one by one.

Just to the west of the city, there is a clean place called Bailu Academy. According to legend, it was founded by a person who has attained the Tao, and it has been unknown how many years ago.

Although the elders in the courtyard have never manifested any magical powers, they have produced a lot of general talents, so they are highly respected and admired by the people in Huaishui City, and they all send their children to Bailu Academy to study proud of.

……

Summer afternoon.

On this day, in Bailu Academy, the sound of reading was heard from classroom to classroom.

And in one of them, a certain child was sleeping soundly.

This child looks eleven or twelve years old, with red lips, white teeth, straight sword eyebrows, quite handsome, although young, but already somewhat angular, wearing a brocade robe with blue background embroidered with clouds, a silk scarf on his head, and black leather riding boots , as if he was a son of a rich family.

But the sleeves of the two brocade robes were rolled up high, revealing two small arms like white lotus root. At this moment, he was sleeping soundly with his arms on his pillow, and the corners of his mouth were full of wild and lazy flavor.

But it wasn't offensive, on the contrary, it was very childlike, and even a few little yellow-haired girls sitting nearby showed shy admiration and joy when they glanced at the boy.

young age.It's already the beginning of love.

Standing at the front was an old man with five long beards and the appearance of an old Confucian scholar, holding a book in one hand, reading with gusto.

Hearing the loud sound, the old master's reading sound became quieter.A pair of aged eyes lit up with sharp displeasure, and he grabbed the ruler on the desk and swept it downward.

There were twenty or thirty children in the hall, all of them felt tense in their hearts.

After only a few breaths, the old master's eyes fell on the urchin in brocade robe.Walked over step by step.

"Xiaobai, wake up, Master is here to arrest you..."

Behind the urchin in brocade robes, a thick-headed boy in sackcloth hides his face with a book furtively.He whispered to the urchin in brocade robe.

The urchin in brocade robe continued to sleep soundly as if he had never heard of it.

Of course, the old master saw the movement of the two of them clearly, and his face suddenly seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.It was a little bit cold again, and it seemed to be on the verge of eruption.

The boy in sackcloth looked bitter.After hesitating, Wei Yi kicked hard on the brocade robed urchin's ass.

"Is school over? Is school over?"

The urchin in brocade robe woke up with a start, his mouth wowed like a loudspeaker.Loud and powerful, the two black and white are extremely distinct, and the eyes that are extremely flexible shoot out the color of ecstasy.

Being kicked, he didn't cry out the pain, didn't even look around, just grabbed his pen, ink and book, and ran towards the door.

While running, he shouted: "Huzi, let's go, Mr. Liu Da from Chunfeng Tea House is going to talk about the most exciting part today, and he won't even have a seat if he goes late!"

The urchin in brocade robe just woke up, and in a daze, he slipped out, leaving the old master and a group of kids stunned.

The urchin in brocade robe ran several tens of feet away, as if he realized something, his figure stopped abruptly, and he turned his head slowly, only to see the old master was staring at him with a pair of vicious eyes, and everyone else looked either sympathetic or sympathetic. A gloating look.

There was an eerie silence!

The naughty boy in brocade robe turned pale with a flick of his face.

"Ji Xiaobai, get the hell out of here!"

The old master suddenly rang out with a somewhat screaming voice, breaking the silence, and the ruler in his hand was already raised high.

The brocade-robed naughty boy named Ji Xiaobai, when he heard the old master's voice, his complexion suddenly became bitter, his eyes struggled twice, and he slammed hard, and continued to run towards the academy.

If you don't do it, you will never stop!

I ran away, did I go back after running halfway?Simply run directly to it!

"Did you run away? Call your mother over tomorrow."

The old master jumped violently and chopped his feet fiercely, the sound was heard far away, and he didn't know if the little boy took it to heart.

Like a rabbit, Ji Xiaobai had already disappeared without a trace.

The old master was very angry. After turning his head, his eyes fell on the face of the boy in linen who kicked Ji Xiaobai just now, and he shouted: "Qin Hu, call your mother over tomorrow, what kind of shit did you do with your homework yesterday?" !"

It's none of my business!

When the boy in linen heard this, his face seemed as if he had eaten yellow lotus, it was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was miserable.

……

Back to Ji Xiaobai, after he ran out of Bailu Academy, he completely forgot about the matter of the old master in a short time, and went straight to the lively place in the city with a happy face like a bird coming out of the cage.

The Spring Breeze Teahouse in the center of the city is one of the most famous teahouses in Huaishui City. Apart from the good tea, the most famous one is Mr. Liu Da, a storyteller specially hired in the building. As if I have experienced it myself.

Poverty thinks about food and clothing, and wealth seeks longevity.

Most of the people in Huaishui City live a stable and prosperous life, so many people admire the way of cultivating immortality and longevity. Unfortunately, few people have such a destiny, so it has become a legend.

In this way, listening to those fairy tales has become their favorite pastime. Almost every teahouse has such storytellers, and this Mr. Liu Da is the most famous one among them. , his story is the most interesting, and the update is fast...

"Aunt Wang, here are two pancakes!"

Halfway through the journey, Ji Xiaobai did not forget to buy two cakes by the side of the road.

"Master Xiaobai, is school over yet?"

Aunt Wang, who sells cooking cakes, looks middle-aged, dressed in a plain skirt, quite pretty, looked at Ji Xiaobai, and asked a question with a smile, indescribably kind.

"... Let it go now."

Ji Xiaobai said with an embarrassed expression.

Near the stall, there were many people who heard Ji Xiaobai's words.All laughed.

"Ji Xiaobai, you little cunning, did you skip class again today? Watch out for your father to beat your ass!"

An old man said jokingly.

Ji Xiaobai's face turned bitter when he heard this, as if he was extremely afraid of his father, but he boldly snorted coldly, without words to refute.

After taking the cake.Another swiftly ran away.

When we arrived at Chunfeng Building, we walked up to the hall on the second floor. The hall was quite large, and most of the people were already seated. There were about forty or fifty people, but Mr. Liu Da, the storyteller, seemed to have not appeared yet.Ji Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief.

Walking to the corner, he picked up a small bench and walked towards the front.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Hu, Uncle Zhao. Grandpa Li, Grandpa Luo... You came so early today!"

With a smile on his face, Ji Xiaobai called out all the way to say hello.With a pleasing look, come all the way.He even called twenty or thirty people.

After shouting, the people also came to the front, and the veterans put the small bench in the front of the first row.After sitting down, he took a big bite of the pancake.

Seeing Ji Xiaobai's appearance, a group of middle-aged and elderly men in brocade robes who looked like merchants who were sitting in the front few rows and had just been called out by Ji Xiaobai showed a look of helplessness.

No one scolded him, and I don't know if it's because he is open-minded and doesn't want to care about him as a child, or there are other reasons.

As time passed, the number of people in the hall increased, and finally it was full, and the so-called Mr. Liu Da finally appeared.

This person has a good face, wearing a white shirt, with a slender figure, a face like a crown jade, fair skin, and a few long beards, and the eyes are shining brightly. bone-like feeling.

Snapped!

When Mr. Liu Da slapped the gavel, it sounded like thunder, which made everyone's eardrums rustle, and the noisy hall immediately fell silent.

"Everyone, the book continues from the last chapter. It is said that the monks of the Lianyun Daozong traveled across the mountains and seas, and finally returned to our Blue Sea Continent from a distant foreign continent. They are about to kill and regain the mountain gate—"

After Mr. Liu Da appeared on the stage, he didn't talk nonsense, and started talking directly. This person's voice was cadenced. Almost as soon as he spoke, everyone's blood boiled with enthusiasm. Say hello!

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned by the sudden voice, and then gave Ji Xiaobai an angry and orderly look.

What's the matter, you just yell, you're not even a babysitter like that!

Even Mr. Liu Da's voice was interrupted, and this person's face turned dark.

"Mr. Liu, keep talking, keep talking!"

Ji Xiaobai didn't notice the expressions of the crowd at all, and said loudly.

"You little boy, if you keep yelling, I will drive you out!"

Mr. Liu Da didn't seem to care about Ji Xiaobai's background, so he sternly reprimanded him.

Ji Xiaobai's complexion turned bitter, and he immediately froze, not daring to talk nonsense.

Everyone laughed.

After the laughter fell, Mr. Liu Da went on to talk, Ji Xiaobai didn't make any more troubles, and quickly immersed himself in it, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

……

Time passed slowly.

"Senior brother Liu, you are so high-spirited, you actually hid in this human teahouse to tell a story, but it was hard for me to find my junior sister!"

Only halfway through the speech, a female voice suddenly came in and rang in everyone's ears. The voice was obviously not too passionate and loud, but after it entered everyone's ears, it felt like a pain in the eardrums.

Mr. Liu Da's voice stopped abruptly, his expression was unprecedentedly solemn and ugly, and he looked towards the source of the voice.

Everyone followed his gaze and saw a figure walking up from the corner of the wooden stairs.

The person who came was a young woman with a graceful figure, a melon-shaped face, and a pointed chin, like a snake spirit. Her eyes were gloomy and terrifying, and they were also extremely sharp, as if she was about to kill someone. Behind her was a long sword-like thing.

After this person came up, his gaze fell directly on Mr. Liu Da, but an indescribable majesty pervaded him.

Among the group of listeners, there were some who originally planned to reprimand, but seeing the posture of the other party, for some reason, they couldn't even speak, and their faces turned pale.

Ji Xiaobai, who was seated at the front, was of course trembling, but his mind was on what the other party said just now.

Tea house on earth?What's the meaning?

Could it be that there are really gods in the world, is it possible that Mr. Liu Da is the legendary god?

……

in the hall.There was silence, with hidden swords and swords.

A chilling aura enveloped the mortals who were nibbling melon seeds and drinking tea for some reason.Suddenly he felt cold, as if he was naked in the ice and snow, and he couldn't stop shivering.

Ji Xiaobai didn't know why, but he didn't seem to feel any chill, but his small eyes turned around.

Mr. Liu Da looked at the young woman with a look in his eyes.It was extremely complicated, and after a moment of silence, he finally said: "Forget it, Junior Sister Chen, let's find a clean place. Let's settle the grievances of the past, and don't disturb these mortals."

Once this person comes out, let alone Ji Xiaobai, everyone else.All heard abnormalities.

"Very good, Senior Brother Liu. Please!"

The young woman said coldly.

call out!

With the sound of the sword, the long sword on the woman's back suddenly flashed red and flew out automatically.After arriving at the woman's feet, he lifted her up into the air and walked away through the window.

On the other side, under Mr. Liu Da's feet, a white cloud-like thing appeared, lifted this person up, and flew out of the window, and the two of them flew into the distance like that.

All mortals looked dumbfounded.

"Fairy, fairy!"

"There really are gods!"

"Mr. Liu Da is also a god!"

……

After a few breaths, someone finally murmured, and the voice hadn't finished yet. The people who spoke had already stood up from their seats, facing the direction of the window, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed.

Seeing someone kneeling down, he immediately knelt down again, and soon, there was only Ji Xiaobai sitting on the chair, his pupils condensed.

"Sister Immortal, Mr. Liu Da, wait for me, accept me as an apprentice, I want to practice Taoism!"

After a while, Ji Xiaobai shouted loudly.

Pidianpidian ran to the window, just about to jump down, this little worthless, seeing that the building was a bit high, he abruptly stopped his forward leaning body, licked his lips, turned around, and headed towards the stairs Run away, I don't want any pens, inks and books.

"Sister Immortal, wait for me!"

"Mr. Liu Da, wait for me!"

Ji Xiaobai seemed to be going crazy, he didn't pay any attention to the people who were already kneeling on the street, and chased in the direction where the two flew.

At this moment, the setting sun has already slanted, the red sun is weak and sad.

In the whole street, Ji Xiaobai was the only one running wildly on the street, and the most blazing pursuit of Tao was burning in his innocent eyes.

Although his body is small and his gait is staggering, it unexpectedly gives off a radiant feeling.

Ji Xiaobai didn't know that in his home, two sighs were faintly resounding.

……

However, the reality is very cruel. Neither Mr. Liu Da nor the young woman stopped for a while because of Ji Xiaobai, a yellow-mouthed child. Baiyun Jianguang quickly disappeared into the distance.

Snapped!

Ji Xiaobai made a somersault and fell to the ground hard. He could not help but let out a scream, but after the scream, Ji Xiaobai got up again and continued to chase forward.

"Wait for me, wait for me!"

Ji Xiaobai acted as if no one was around, and his voice was eager, as if he was going towards the most important opportunity in his life, as if he was going towards the most important place in his life.

A cup of tea!

Half an hour!

At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, the stars are lit up, and the sky is getting dark.

Ji Xiaobai was sweating profusely, and he didn't know where the strength came from. He ran forward almost without stopping, out of the city, and onto the great plain outside the city. However, the turbulent river blocked him. in front of him.

Ji Xiaobai finally stopped, looking at the black sky in the distance, there was no one there, only the shadows of the mountains in the distance, looming.

"Hu-hu-"

Ji Xiaobai was panting heavily, his eyes were full of despair, and he couldn't express his frustration and disappointment. When he stopped, he felt exhausted, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead.

"One day... someday... I will..."

After being in a daze for a long time, Ji Xiaobai muttered in his mouth and walked back.

……

"Master, the master asked me to pick you up!"

When he reached the gate of the city, he saw a carriage parked there, and the person who spoke was an old man driving a horse, in his fifties, dressed in a rough robe, and looked like an old farmer.But he was in very good spirits, his face was full of red, and he looked at Ji Xiaobai with an unusually kind expression.

After the words were finished, the old man jumped off the horse and helped Ji Xiaobai pat the dust off his body carefully.A look of kindness and compassion.

"Fuber, how do you know I'm here?"

Ji Xiaobai woke up with a start, and asked in surprise.

"Master, the news about chasing the two gods has spread throughout the city today. Master asked me to come here to pick you up."

Ji Xiaobai nodded without thinking too much.He got into the car full of thoughts, and Fubo drove away.

It took less than half an hour to return to my home in the south of the city.

This is a large house that does not occupy a large area, but has an excellent location, with three levels and three entrances.The wing room is in the forest, and on the door plate, there are two large characters of Yefu written on it, which is in the city of Huaishui.The residence of the largest salt merchant, yes.That is Ji Xiaobai's father.

On both sides of the gate, under the reflection of the lantern, a woman in a white dress was already waiting there. 27. About eight years old, with a plump body and a beautiful appearance, there is a bit of maternal brilliance in the gorgeousness, and the eyebrows and eyes are vaguely similar to Ji Xiaobai.

This woman is Su Liuli, and the owner of this Ye Mansion is Ye Bai.

Since leaving the Underworld, Ye Bai and Su Liuli have returned to Sea Breeze Star and Blue Sea Continent. Although things have changed, Ye Bai still bought the current land according to the place in his memory, and established the old land. The Ye family's house, as a mortal, followed in the footsteps of his father Ye Dafu, started as a private salt dealer, and now it has become a big salt merchant, with a huge business.

Not long after, Ye Bai had a fourth child. He took Ji Baiyi's surname and named him Ji Xiaobai. Although this child, like his elder brother Xuanyuan Su, was a good seedling of Taoism, Ye Bai never taught him He has a little bit of Taoism and supernatural powers.

"Mom, I'm back."

Seeing Su Liuli, Ji Xiaobai said listlessly, looking ashamed, Su Liuli's eyes were full of pity.

"Uncle Fu, thank you for your hard work, go and rest."

Su Liuli said something to Uncle Fu first.

"Don't dare, the mistress is too serious."

Fu Bo said, and led the horse away.

"Xiaobai, come with me to wash your face, it's time for dinner."

Su Liuli said something to Ji Xiaobai again, with a faint majesty in her voice, without asking any more questions.

Ji Xiaobai nodded and followed.

The mother and son walked into the door and closed the door of the mansion.

……

There are not many servants in the mansion, but they are unusually quiet.

After Su Liuli and Ji Xiaobai finished washing, they entered the side hall, where Ye Bai was already waiting.

Ye Bai is still the same, dressed in a green robe, tall and tall, but with a bit of mortal look on his face, rather than a strong sense of immortality.

Seeing Ji Xiaobai coming in, Ye Bai showed a meaningful smile on his face, but he didn't say anything.

"Dad, I'm back."

Ji Xiaobai shouted in a low voice. When facing Ye Bai, he always had an inexplicable feeling of being seen through. This feeling has always made him quite awed by Ye Bai.

"Let's eat!"

Ye Bai nodded slightly and said.

Three dishes and one soup were prepared on the table, and they were still steaming hot, as if they had counted the time right, the family of three did not talk nonsense, and ate in silence.

In the past, the lively Ji Xiaobai would talk non-stop even when eating, but today he was silent, as if he didn't even have a good appetite.

Ye Bai and Su Liuli turned a blind eye and didn't ask any more questions.

After half a cup of effort, Ji Xiaobai finally couldn't bear the atmosphere in the room. After sneaking a glance at Ye Bai, he asked softly, "Father, do you have ideals?"

Hearing this, Ye Bai stopped his chopsticks, thought for a while and said, "Yes, become the largest salt merchant in Dahe Country."

When Ji Xiaobai heard this, Xia Chong's indescribable disdain appeared in his eyes, like a grown-up, he pointed to Jiang Shan and said, "Father, your ideal is a bit vulgar, it is vulgar!"

Su Liuli chuckled when she heard this.

Ye Bai put it on the chopsticks, stared at Ji Xiaobai, and said with a serious expression: "Oh—then do you have any higher ideals?"

"Have!"

Ji Xiaobai's voice became louder, his eyes were firm and he said: "I want to be a god, I went to listen to Mr. Liu Da's storytelling today, and it turned out—"

Ji Xiaobai burst into tears, chattering endlessly, his face beaming with joy, and the spit flying from his mouth, when Ye Bai and Su Liuli saw this, they quietly pushed the bowl towards them.

Ji Xiaobai's expression was high, and the more he talked, the more energetic he was, the low mood finally got up.

"stop!"

Ye Bai snorted.

Ji Xiaobai stopped talking in astonishment.

Ye Bai said: "Just tell me, how do you plan to become a god!"

"On the way back, I have already planned it!"

Hearing Ye Bai's words, Ji Xiaobai didn't feel depressed at all, and became even more excited, babbling: "From tomorrow onwards, I won't study anymore, I will ask the immortals to ask, and I will go to famous mountains and rivers, and I will arrange it for me wherever it is dangerous. A few guards, mother will prepare some dry food for me, flatbread is fine, I am not picky about food, but it must be stuffed with leeks..."

Ji Xiaobai was a chatterbox, and he got up and down again and again, endlessly.

"There is also leek stuffing..."

Hearing this, Ye Bai and Su Liuli were happy at the same time. Over the past ten years, this little son, who is like a clown, has been their greatest joy.

Ji Xiaobai talked a lot before closing his mouth, looking at Ye Bai expectantly and saying, "Father, what do you think? Don't worry, when I become a fairy, I will definitely turn you and mother into a fairy!" Once you become an immortal, you will live forever and enjoy immortal blessings forever!"

At the end of Ji Xiaobai's speech, he patted the child's dry chest to reassure.

"No!"

Ye Bai said two words lightly and directly vetoed it.

"Can't you eat leek stuffing? You can change it to something else!"

Ji Xiaobai said kindly.

"Ji Xiaobai, why are you so cute, don't go to ghost tours, study hard!"

Ye Bai shouted loudly.

"Mother, father, he killed my ideal!"

Ji Xiaobai became anxious immediately.

Su Liuli smiled sweetly and said, "Your father has the final say on matters at home."

Ji Xiaobai looked bitter, then looked at Ye Bai and said, "Father, why don't you let me go? This is the biggest wish in my heart."

"Because - I have prepared for you, a better future than entering those fairy gates."

Ye Bai said quietly, something deep flickered in his eyes. (to be continued~^~)
