Chapter 1: In the Zhu Mansion

"Beyond the southeast sea, between the sweet waters, there is the country of Xihe. There is a woman named Xihe, who bathes in Ganyuan on a day of life, Xihe, the wife of Emperor Jun, who was born for ten days. 』

The sun was shining, Chang Xi was lazily lying on a rope basking in the sun, and listening to Zhu Yan'er reading the story again - Zhu Yan'er held the tortoise shell in his hand, read it with relish, and dragged out the long syllables of dozens of words of legends, and it took more than half a pillar of incense to read it alive than ordinary people.

Zhu Yao'er blinked, and asked for the thousandth and first time, "Sister, what do you mean?"

Zhu Yan'er cleared her throat and translated solemnly: "That is to say, in the great wilderness, there is a mountain called Tiantai Mountain, and the sea water flows into this mountain from the south. Beyond the East China Sea, between the sweet waters, there is a country of Xi and He. Here is a woman named Xihe, who is bathing the sun in Ganyuanβ€”and this woman, Xihe, the wife of Emperor Jun, gave birth to ten suns. ”

"Ten suns?" Zhu Yao'er looked adoring with stars in her eyes, "So, in the era of the flood and famine, there were really ten suns in the sky?β€”β€” nine of which were shot down by our "Human Emperor" Hou Yi?"

Zhu Yan'er smiled, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Chang Xi - but seeing Chang Xi making a big joke, he unceremoniously interjected: "That human race and the Tianlong clan are probably mortal enemies for generations?"

"Huh?" Zhu Yao'er blinked, looked at Chang Xi who suddenly spoke out on the side, and saw that she was using the tortoise shell as a fan, and dozing off while fanning the wind, she couldn't help but be angry, "Okay, you Xi'er, you're talking nonsense again!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Chang Xiyi retorted rhetorically, "Do you think?β€”β€” Houyi is a human race, and the sun is the child of Tianhou Xihe of the Tianlong clan, the human race killed the Tianlong clan, isn't the Tianlong clan hostile to the human race?...... However, as far as I know, our Terran Race has the "Earth Boundary" and is protected from foreign invasion by relying on the power of the Celestial Dragon Clan's "Twelve Holy Guardians"! In this way, if the Celestial Dragon Clan and the Terran Race are really feuding, how can they help the Terran Race regardless of their previous suspicions? It can be seen that legends are only legends, not true. ”

"This, this, this, this ......" Zhu Yao'er was dumbfounded, unable to fight back.

Chang Xi said again: "Moreover, the Emperor of the Tianlong Clan has more than Xi and such a queen, have you heard of Chang Xi?" Speaking of this, her face was gloomy, who called her the same name as the mythical queen of heaven?

"Ahem~ I mean, Chang Xi, the mother of the moon, and Xi He, the mother of the sun, are sisters, and they serve the Emperor together-" It was rare to say a few words, and Xi He simply threw out his personal opinion, "So, the problem is, Xi He is so great, he is willing to serve the Emperor of Heaven with his sister?...... Hey~ Shouldn't Xihe and Changxi be the same person? If they are sisters, their surnames must always be the same? It can be seen that the surnames are different, and they are not sisters at all! In this way, this legend is also wrong! It must be that later generations think that Xihe is too strong, so they make up an emperor!"

Zhu Yao'er stared at Chang Xi in amazement, unable to interject at all.

"Sister-" Zhu Yao'er's mouth curled and threw herself into Zhu Yan'er's arms.

Zhu Yan'er hugged her sister funny, and begged Chang Xi for mercy: "Good Xi'er, good Xi'er, don't fight Yao'er again." After a pause, Zhu Yan'er said hesitantly:

"That...... I must remind you both - in fact, Hou Yi is from the Wu Clan, and he is one of the great witches! During the Heavenly Witch Era, the Heavenly Dragon Clan and the Wu Clan were indeed feuding, and if they hadn't fought too fiercely, they wouldn't have fallen into the luck of the Human Race! Therefore, what you said was wrong. ”

Chang Xi: "......"

Zhu Yao'er: "......"

"Ahh?......h Let's not talk about it, okay?"

Pouting, Zhu Yao'er wanted to speak and stopped, but obediently buried her head in her sister's arms.

Zhu Yan'er knew why Zhu Yao'er had to confirm these legends again and again-

"In half a month, we are going to Kunlun Mountain to apprentice?" Zhu Yan'er hit the nail on the head, "Although I don't believe in the Mother of the Sun, Xihe and her sister, but Kunlun Mountain's entrance test has such a question...... If you don't want to go into the mountains to learn art, you can use your arguments to refute them. ”

Hearing this, Chang Xi was speechless.

- Ahhh~ She knows...... She knew her idea was a little too bizarre!

It's just that, for some reason, she always unconsciously reveals a mythical version that is different from the Terran heritage...... Obviously, no one told her about that version at all!

Frowning, Chang Xi sighed, simply didn't think about it, and said obediently: "Don't worry, Yan'er, I'll pay attention...... Hmm~ When they ask this question, I will reply to them with the official answer. ”

It's not "back", it's "writing". Zhu Yan'er corrected quietly.

"Okay~" Chang Xi rolled his eyes, "I will definitely write it with the official answerβ€”β€”"

Looking at Chang Xi's depressed appearance, Zhu Yao'er rolled her eyes and proposed: "By the way, Xi'er, Brother Li Shi and Brother Li Shi are coming tomorrow, why don't we go buy rune paper together?...... You also know that in a few days, you will go to Kunlun Mountain to officially test the spiritual root - I heard from my mother that people have already been sent over there, saying that they want to recruit more disciples?"

Speaking of Brother Li Shi and Brother Li Shi, Zhu Yao'er's ears were slightly red.

Chang Xi raised his eyebrows and teased: "I'm so ashamed - isn't Xiao Nizi's heart swinging?"

"You ......" Zhu Yao'er blushed and stomped her feet, "Xi'er, you're too bad!" Turning to Zhu Yan'er, Zhu Yao'er said angrily: "Sister, let's go?β€”β€” don't take Xi'er to play, she won't be able to go anywhere anyway!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yao'er covered her mouth consciously, as if she realized that she had lost her words.

Chang Xi quietly held the tortoiseshell and fanned the wind.

- Chang Xi can't leave the Zhu Mansion since he was a child.

It's not that the Zhu Mansion trapped Chang Xi, but every time Chang Xi left the Zhu Mansion, he would always attract strange "things...... The amazing thing is that as long as she stays in the Zhu Mansion, those things can't get in!

Over time, Chang Xi habitually stayed in the Zhu Mansion, and he was not like those naughty children, who caused trouble everywhere.

Zhu Yan'er patted Zhu Yao'er on the shoulder, but said, "Why do you think Brother Li Shi and Brother Li Shi came to the mansion in advance this time?β€”β€” it's not because you, a little girl, often worry that Xi'er can't leave the mansion...... They thought of a way for Xi'er, saying that they could let Xi'er go out for a walk freely. ”

"Really, really?" Zhu Yao'er was overjoyed and jumped up suddenly, "Where are they?β€”β€” I'll go find them!"

After that, Zhu Yao'er ran away.

"Slow down......"

Zhu Yan'er spit out three words embarrassedly, and then heard Zhu Yao'er's "ouch", as if she had hit something.

Chang Xi and Zhu Yan'er were startled, looked at each other, and ran to take a look.

I saw Zhu Yao'er plunging into the arms of a certain teenager.

That young man was none other than Li Shi.

Accompanying Li Shi was his brother Li Shi.

"Brother Li Shi?......" Zhu Yan'er exclaimed softly, but her eyes involuntarily aimed at Li Shi.

After that, Zhu Yan'er's face turned red.

Chang Xi secretly snickered: There is no need to explain - who made Zhu Yan'er always blush every time she saw Li Shi?

However, it is no wonder that Zhu Yan'er blushes: after all...... Zhu Yaner and Li Shi have a marriage contract!

It is said that the head of the Zhu Mansion is a family of monks surnamed "Zhu", and the head of the family, Zhu Qilang, is serious and old-fashioned, and has adventures in his early years. The qualifications of the head of the Zhu family are slightly poor, but he is very ambitious, and he wants to replace the heir of the family surnamed "Zhu", he is two hundred and sixty-seven years old this year, and his appearance deliberately maintains the appearance of a young man, and he yearns for the great consummation of the foundation, and vows to grope to the edge of the spiritual void realm in his lifetime - hey~ He doesn't want to think about it, the monks in the foundation building realm have a longevity of three hundred years, and the middle stage of foundation building and the foundation building great perfection are separated from the late stage of foundation building, it would be good for him to rush into the late stage of foundation building in the remaining thirty-three years, and dare to peep into the spiritual void realm?

Although Chang Xi doesn't see the goal of the Zhu family master, he can't deny that he is a husband who keeps his roots: the Zhu family master is a partial branch of a family of monks surnamed "Zhu", and the partial branch is not as good as the heir, but he can also marry a wife and take a few concubines, but he only has one wife. In his own words, it is enough for a monk to marry only one wife in his life, otherwise if he marries too much, he will fight in the house and have distracting thoughts, how can he cultivate the Tao?β€”β€” he marries less because it is too troublesome to marry more, and it is not because the head of the family himself loves the head of the family that he becomes married...... Fortunately, the wife of the housekeeper is very content, quite satisfied, and shows a happy face every day, feeling that her husband is very good.

The wife of the head of the family is surnamed Guo, and the maiden name is Shanniang, and her origin is not small: it is a partial branch of the family of monks surnamed "Guo". She is slightly better qualified than the head of the Zhu family, but unfortunately after becoming a mother, she was busy teaching her daughter all day long, neglecting her cultivation, and her cultivation was stranded in the early stage of foundation building, and her appearance was younger than that of the head of the Zhu family, and she looked very dignified and steady.

Zhu Fu has two daughters, both of whom were named after the family's wife's wish of "hoping that the son will become a dragon and the daughter will become a phoenix": the eldest daughter, Zhu Yan'er, is fourteen years old, who is at the third level of qi refining, and is good at drawing talismans, and the second daughter, Zhu Yao'er, who is twelve years old, is a fourth-level qi refining and is rude to all kinds of medicinal herbs.

The head of the Zhu family is happy and annoyed with his two daughters: he is happy that his daughters have spiritual roots, and he is annoyed that his qualifications are not very good - and looking at their cultivation, the second daughter is obviously better than the eldest daughter...... It's a pity that no matter how good the second daughter is, she can't compare to her Changxi, an outsider!

Chang Xi, twelve years old, is the same age as Zhu Yao'er, but he is at the fifth level of qi refining.

With such an obvious contrast, the head of the Zhu family was worried that his daughters would not go far on the road of cultivation in the future, so he engaged his two daughters separately, both of whom were excellent children of the side branch of the family surnamed "Li", so as to prevent the daughters from being hopeless in cultivating and abandoning their lives - fortunately, Zhu Yan'er and Zhu Yao'er were generous enough, and they were raised by the wife of the family head to be as friendly, humble and understanding as shallots, and they did not resist and obediently obeyed the arrangement of the Zhu family master.
