Wang Chan replied: "Now the master of Xuanzong is my senior brother, and the flowers are like wolves. ”

Lu Jian Daojun snorted disdainfully, pursed his lips and said, "He is far from your master." A follower who can only be obedient and obedient will not be able to make a big deal. But then again, I think you kid is a bit like your master when he was young. ”

"The seniors have won the prize. Wang Chan said goodbye: "It's not early, and the juniors will retire first." ”

The two were just about to retreat, when Lu Jian Daojun suddenly stopped them from behind and ordered: "Go back and tell your master, don't bother me with this kind of thing in the future." Now I don't care about anything, I just hope to drink the wedding wine as soon as possible!"

Wang Chan and Yuan Sheng looked at each other and smiled, and each nodded in agreement.

Before the sun set, the two left the Spring and Autumn Garden.

Wang Chan looked up at the white clouds and suggested, "Senior brother, why don't you try the cloud technique that the Daoist Master taught you?"

Yuan Sheng had this intention, raised his head and shouted to the sky: "Tendon...... Fight...... Cloud!"

As soon as the words fell, a cloud of white flowers flew from the sky, carrying the two of them to Yunmeng Mountain.

Yuan Shengteng's ability to control the clouds and fog was far from the heat, and when he arrived at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, it was already the morning of the next day.

It coincides with the spring flowers, which is the season of a hundred flowers.

The mountains are all over the wilderness, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom.

Birds and finches hovered among the flowers, and occasionally a few birdsongs were heard in the ears, and there was a scene full of life everywhere.

Wang Chan and Yuan Sheng returned to the mountain to recover their lives, and happened to meet Niu Zhu, Yu Han, Jiang Ling, Hua Ruwolf in the peach blossom forest, as well as a few Qiyao Cave Masters, who were happily talking about something.

Wang Chan inquired in the past and learned that the Western Sect's forces entrenched in the Central Plains had been expelled by Xuanzong's forces in recent years, and they were finally forced to return to the Western Regions not long ago.

Everyone planned to tell Su Ji the good news, and walked towards the depths of the peach blossom forest together, and saw the back of a fishing man from a distance.

Su Ji faced the green mountains and green waters, with a reed bamboo fishing rod in his hand, and a soft silk hanging to the bottom of the water.

The Princess of All Saints next to her put her index finger to her mouth to remind everyone to keep their voices down and not to startle the fish in the water.

Looking at Su Ji's quiet and calm back, Jiang Ling couldn't help but sigh: "He has really changed, and he is no longer the ruffian he was back then." ”

Yu Han looked around at the green trees and red flowers on the shore, nodded and said, "Yes, fishing, such an elegant thing as self-cultivation must be able to calm down." ”

Niu Zhu looked down at the rippling blue waves, and echoed: "In recent years, the words of the third junior brother have become less and less, and he has become more and more like a master like a master in the world, not an immortal, but like an immortal. ”

However, when everyone approached lightly, they all frowned, and heard the sound of snoring, it turned out that Su Ji did not concentrate on fishing, but just sat and fell asleep.

Hearing the footsteps, Su Ji suddenly woke up, his forehead dripping with cold sweat.

"Master, are you having nightmares again?"

Hua Ruwolf went over with concern and asked.

Su Ji wiped the saliva from his mouth with his sleeve, let out a long sigh, and replied, "I dreamed that three tigers were chasing a sheep. ”

Jiang Ling's eyes flowed, and when he saw Su Ji's expression for the rest of his life, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "If you guessed correctly, you are the sheep being chased." ”

Su Ji nodded.

Jiang Ling smiled: "The three tigers chasing you must be tigresses." ”

Su Ji replied silently, and wiped his sweat with palpitations.

At this time, Yang Xiao came over drunk, looked down and saw a few fishing hooks that Su Ji had placed on the shore, and couldn't help asking, "Master, how do you use these straight hooks to fish?"

Yuan Sheng leaned over and looked curiously, and saw that the material that the master used to make the straight hook was a bamboo branch with branches, which seemed to be sharpened into two ends with a special knife, tied a fishing line in the middle, and then embedded grain rice in it.

After a while, Su Ji began to slowly reel in the line, and as the fishing line was retracted little by little. The curiosity of the onlookers was also fished out. The fishing line is getting more and more, but there is still no trace of the fish after receiving half of it, seeing that it is getting closer and closer to the other end of the fishing line, just when everyone thought that Su Ji was going to miss the fish, a surprising scene appeared, and there was actually a palm-sized soft-shelled turtle on the hook!

Yang Xiao cheered excitedly: "Haha! It's caught! Master is so amazing!"

Everyone was incredible, and they couldn't imagine that Su Ji could really catch a turtle that was not big or small with a straight hook.

Su Ji took off the soft-shelled turtle and asked the disciples around him: "Do you know why Jiang Taigong used a straight hook to fish back then?"

Hua Ruwolf replied: "Jiang Taigong wants the world to know his way of life: don't bend, don't hide, don't ask. ”

Su Ji smiled with satisfaction, and asked again: "Then tell me, what is not bending, not hiding, and not seeking?"

Hua Rulu replied: "The straight hook is not bent, the bait is not hidden, and the willing one is not asked to take the bait." ”

Su Ji was noncommittal, and asked Wang Chan again: "What do you say?"

Wang Chan replied: "To be upright is not to bend, to be open is not to hide, and to be selfless is not to seek." The benevolent person is virtuous, so he is upright, the benevolent person respects others, so he is open-minded, and the benevolent person loves others, so he is selfless, which can be described as great wisdom. ”

Su Ji nodded with satisfaction.

It turned out that Su Ji's intention was not to fish, but to teach his disciples to be human beings, and to let the disciples know Jiang Taigong's wisdom in dealing with the world. However, the way of the sage taught by Su Ji can only be fully comprehended by Wang Chan alone.

Jiang Ling knew that with Su Ji's character, he would never want to be a hero to save the troubled times, but he could be a mentor to a group of heroes, maybe this was his mission.

What Su Ji really wanted was never to become an immortal, but to live a carefree life like now. However, the comfort of the present is really precious, and it has gone through a long time of 80 years. Along the way, he had many painful struggles, in exchange for a moment of tranquility in front of him.

Yang Xiao licked his tongue, only concerned about how the master would dispose of the soft-shelled turtle caught by the straight hook, it would be great if it could be used to make wine.

Su Ji threw the soft-shelled turtle he had just caught into the water and said with emotion: "Once upon a time, I tried to cut off hatred. It is only now that I realize that I can't do anything by myself. ”

Seeing the way the master spoke seriously, the disciples knew that he was about to start preaching the truth again.

Princess Wansheng and Yang Xiao raised their hands in unison, ready to cover their ears, only Wang Chan and Hua Ruwolf listened attentively.

Su Ji cleared his throat, took out a few exercise cheats from his arms, held them up in front of his disciples and said, "Disciples, I see that your bones are wonderful, and you will definitely be a peerless master in the future, and you will definitely be able to carry forward my Guigu lineage." From now on, the task of maintaining peace on earth will be entrusted to you. ”

The disciples scanned the secret book in his hand, and if they only looked at the name, they seemed to be very powerful.

Yang Xiao refused: "I don't want to save the troubled world, I just want to drink." ”

Su Ji said: "Wine hurts the body a lot, so it's up to the point." In recent years, I've rarely been as heavy an alcoholic as you. Don't look at you getting drunk every day, but do you really know how to drink?"

Yang Xiao shook his head drunkenly, "I don't understand, I love to drink." ”

Su Ji asked again: "Then do you know the piano?"

Yang Xiao shook his head again, "I don't understand, I love to listen." ”

Su Ji glanced at the Princess of All Saints next to her and asked, "Do you understand her?"

Yang Xiao still shook his head, "I don't understand ......"

Princess Wansheng seemed to hear the meaning of the words, and her cheeks couldn't help but flush, while Yuan Sheng's face sank.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Wang Chan felt the atmosphere awkward, and hurriedly made a round: "Master, Lu Jian Daojun said that he was in a hurry to drink your wedding wine." ”

Yang Xiao took the opportunity to divert the topic and said: "If you want me to say that the eldest husband has three wives and four concubines, and the three masters and wives will marry together." ”

"Hey, you really ...... this idea" Su Ji seemed to want to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed back and changed his words: "It's really filthy!"

Yang Xiao noticed that the master's expression was abnormal, and when he turned his head to see Mu Lingyu, who was dressed in white like snow, walking over, cold sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, the dirty to the extreme, the apprentice is extremely filthy......"

Yuan Sheng looked at Mu Lingyu flatteringly and asked Su Ji, "Master, when do you and your wife plan to get married?"

Su Ji wanted to speak again and stopped.

Yuan Sheng saw that the master's expression was abnormal, and turned his head to see Bao Xi coming one after another, bowed his head and said: "Marriage is a big matter, no child's play, please think twice about it." ”

Bao Xi glanced at Mu Lingyu next to her, and said lightly: "Brother, I can not prevent you from marrying this woman, as long as you say to me in person: In fact, the person you care about most in your heart is me, not her!"

Mu Lingyu was silent, looking sideways at Su Ji, as if to say: You dare?

Sujimer was silent.

Everyone is entangled for him, and some words will hurt people's hearts, but what should come will always come, and marriage events cannot be ambiguous.

Mu Lingyu didn't say much, turned around and left.

Bao Xi smiled: "Hmph, go back to the sky to be your immortal, don't send it!." ”

Yang Xiao hurriedly ran over to stop Mu Lingyu and persuaded: "Although my master is an immortal, but now that she is a Jedi Tiantong, even if she wants to go back, she can't go back to heaven." ”

Mu Lingyu turned his back to Su Ji, his snow-white clothes fluttering in the wind, as if waiting for his final reply.

Su Ji stared at the butterflies flying in the peach blossom forest, turned his head to look at the two women, and said with an idea: "One butterfly, two wings, you can't fly without any of them." You guys are like my wings to me......"

The expressions of the crowd were different.

Yang Xiao muttered in a low voice: "As a master, you can say this kind of thing." ”

Yuan Sheng said, "Can you come up with a better answer?"

Yang Xiao shook his head and shrugged.

At this moment, Yu Han showed a gloating expression, and suddenly shouted: "Hey, everyone, look! Another wing is coming!"

Wing?

Everyone turned their heads in confusion, only to see a woman in green walking into the peach forest.

Yang Xiao snickered: "These are the three wings. If you get together four more wings, Master's flower butterfly will have to turn into a dragonfly!"

Looking at the peach blossoms blooming around him, Jiang Ling smiled meaningfully: "This year's peach blossoms are blooming exceptionally well." ”

Niu Zhu scratched his head and said, "Although spring is the season of recovery of all things, there are indeed a little more peach blossoms here. ”

Looking at Su Ji's three confidants, Yu Han said enviously: "Not only are there many, but each flower is good!"

Facing the uninvited Lin Zi, Mu Lingyu and Bao Xi glared angrily, and the three cave masters next to them vigilantly sacrificed their phantom swords, ready to put her to death at any time.

Lin Zi glanced at the people who were hostile to him, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am not welcome here, so I have taken my leave." ”

With that, she turned and walked away.

The three daughters have always been-for-tat, and they broke up unhappily. None of them far, though. Xiaochan then came to report that Lin Zi had gone to Panlongshu Cave, Mu Lingyu was in Yunmeng Grassland, and Bao Xi was playing the piano alone in Weicaotang.

Yu Han was anxious for Su Ji: "If I were you, just marry all three, the more the merrier!"

Jiang Ling said: "It is impossible for them to appear under the same roof, and if they marry, they will offend the other two." ”

Yu Han said disapprerovingly: "Senior brother can even settle the gods and demons, but he can't even settle the three women?"

Princess All Saints asked, "Master, how do you decide?"

Yuan Sheng asked, "Who to marry?"

Yang Xiao also asked, "How many do you marry?"

A fresh breeze blew, and a rain of pink flowers drifted through the peach forest.

Su Ji slowly stretched out his hand and gently caught a falling petal.

Yuan Sheng and Yang Xiao exchanged a blank look, not understanding what the master meant by this dumb riddle, and turned their heads to look at Wang Chan together.

Wang Chan broke through the mystery in one sentence: "Master's meaning, let the peach blossoms be 3,000, and only take one." ”

Su Ji smiled without saying a word, looking up at the wild geese returning north in the sky.

Everyone looked at each other, no one knew the final decision in Su Ji's heart, but they could see that he had a heart.

Wang Chan came to Su Ji, took out the seven-colored ear of rice from his arms, and said, "Master, the apprentice knows that you have a difficult choice, so it is better to eat this ear of rice." If anyone he sees, he will marry. ”

Hearing Wang Chan's idea, everyone felt that it was reasonable, but Su Ji shook his head and refused, and finally chose to believe in his heart.

The peach is dying, scorching its glory.

In the gaze of everyone, Su Ji's back gradually disappeared into the peach blossom forest.
