A thousand years later

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years later, the baby who could only cry at the beginning has become a young man.

Xiuyuan is already one thousand and one years old, but he looks like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in the mortal realm, if it is an ordinary immortal, he will be considered an adult at about eight hundred years old, but the life span of this heavenly machine is extremely long, so the growth is slower than that of the immortals in the heavenly realm. Xuan Che has been carrying the heart for all these years has gradually let go, the birth of Tianjizi is predestined, and it is impossible to choose, and in order to find the next Tianji as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to go against the sky, and went to the underworld to search for hundreds of years, just to find a suitable soul to be the reincarnation of Tianji, after the soul was selected, he was worried that he would be wiped out without a trace after entering the reincarnation, so he drew his own life soul and spiritual wisdom to replace his original soul, with this wisp of true soul, no matter which world he was reincarnated in the demon and fairy world, he could predict it in advance。

But if you let yourself go to reincarnation, if you cast into the immortal fetus, it's fine, if you cast into the demon or human world, then the effort is in vain. And in the fairy world, it belongs to the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Ji is the purest and the most benevolent, so she discussed with Mingyang that she wanted his first child, and he wanted her to be her diva.

This millennium is also the most conscientious millennium for Xuan Che, being an old mother on the one hand and a master on the other. Although this child is talented and pure, he is a child after all, and he has to teach everything slowly, which wastes a lot of effort. However, seeing that he has changed from a child to a young and gentle teenager, he is also relieved.

And now, it has come to the most critical moment, Tianjizi is different from the immortals in the sky, and does not require skilled spells, no one can match, as a heavenly machine, not only to know the calculations, good at understanding the stars, but more importantly, decision-making, the judgment of the heavenly machine, if necessary, the gods can destroy the demons, and the key to the judgment is to have a peaceful mind and be impartial. As a child, it is too difficult for him to do this, fairness and justice need to be experienced, and the time I have left for him is obviously not much.

Xuan Che slowly paced out of the cave, she hadn't come out for a long time, and suddenly saw the bright sunshine, and suddenly couldn't open her eyes. When the line of sight is clear, she looked around lightly, the plum blossoms on the island are still blooming for a hundred years, regardless of the four seasons, she asked the half moon to remove all the other plants and trees on the island, only planted plum blossoms, in order to be the kind of loneliness and arrogance of living in isolation, if the four seasons on this island are too distinct, it always makes people feel that time is in a hurry, which may not be a good thing.

A large plum tree in the distance has grown to more than ten meters high, desolate and vigorous, under the plum tree, there are two figures sitting quietly. The half moon in white, the source of the Xuanyi. Banyue first saw Xuan Che who was walking slowly, and then smiled lightly, "I saw that the sun was just right today, so I asked Ah Xiu to accompany me, and after a few rounds, if I knew that you would come out, I shouldn't have called him." ”

When Xiu Yuan heard this, he got up and said, "Master, why is he interested in coming out for a walk today?"

Xuan Che was not in a hurry to answer, but slowly walked under the tree, found a stone bench to sit down, and then said slowly, "Ah Xiu, who is better than you in half moon's chess skills?"

Before Xiu Yuan could answer, another person's voice came from under the tree, "Half Moon couldn't play Xiu Yuan a few years ago, his chess skills are not as good as others and he loves to compete blindly, and his apprentices can't win and still want to play with the master, don't be ashamed." ”

Xiu Yuan looked a little cramped when he heard this, but Banyue was much calmer, and he only smiled to himself and didn't see him angry. Xuan Che glanced at the gluttony of the sheep's body and human face under the tree, which could not be denied.

Xiu Yuan smiled lightly: "Uncle Jiutian, I'm afraid I'm bored these days."

Jiutian obviously didn't want to admit it, but he didn't want to draw a snake to explain more, so he turned over lazily and continued to lie under the tree and nap.

Xuan Che glanced at the chess game on the table, the outcome was already a foregone conclusion, but Heizi didn't seem to want to win, so Baizi was still lingering, but there was no chance to turn over. What Nine Heavens said is true.

Xuan Che still said in a lazy voice, "Ah Xiu, Master is here to play the next game with you." ”

When Xiu Yuan heard this, there was unconcealed joy in his eyes, he had grown so big, the master had never played chess with him, and he would rather play alone than with him on weekdays, he knew the master's temperament, and it was not easy to take the initiative to ask. Today, when Master himself brought it up, he couldn't have been happier.

Xuan Che walked to the stone table, stretched out his hand to disrupt the chessboard, then separated the black and white chess pieces, and glanced at Xiu Yuan, who had been standing respectfully, "Do you want to stand and play chess with me?" Xuan Che grabbed a white chess piece casually, and Xiu Yuan showed a black chess, which means that the odd number has been black, and vice versa.

Xuan Che spread out his palm, and there were seven white seeds inside. Xiu Yuan Zhisunzi made up his mind first, and Xuan Che immediately followed. A few steps back, as long as Xiu Yuan made up his mind, Xuan Che immediately followed, and after a while, fine sweat appeared on Xiu Yuan's face, and the further back, the slower the speed of Xiu Yuan's fall, but Xuan Che was still careless and didn't think twice. Taking advantage of Xiuyuan's thoughts, Xuan Che couldn't help but look him up and down, he grew up on this Langya Island since he was a child, and he had never been in contact with anyone else except for Jiutian and Half Moon, so he had a pure look in his eyes that was rare for ordinary people, but there was a bit of indifference and arrogance in the purity, coupled with his warm and handsome face, it was very eye-catching.

The breeze passes, the fragrance of plum blossoms overflows, which is mixed with the fragrance of lotus flowers, so pleasant. Xuan Che half leaned on the plum tree behind him, carefully looked at Xiuyuan's black hair swaying in the wind, and said lightly, "The talent is good, but I don't practice much." "I looked at Banyue who was watching chess on the sidelines, "If you want to play chess in the future, just look for me, Banyue's level is not enough, I can't teach you." Her words were not out of comfort, Xiu Yuan is indeed a good talent, he has played against her for a long time, and he has not lost a son, it is true that she did not deliberately work hard, but it is not easy for him to reach this realm at a young age.

Xiu Yuan's face was overjoyed, and he got up and said respectfully, "Thank you, Master." ”

Xuan Che smiled faintly, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me first, I'll talk about the chess game later, I'll take you to do another thing first." ”

Xiu Yuan was stunned for a moment, "What does the master want me to do, just tell me."

Xuan Che looked at Xiuyuan, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, but he still slowly said a sentence, "A few days ago, the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth sent Di Chuanyin to me, saying that Jiang Guang, the king of Qin Guang in the Ten Halls of the Yama of the underworld, was about to leave his post and ascend because of his merits, so there was a vacancy in this Hell Yama, and the King of Jizo couldn't find a suitable person for a while, so he sent Di Chuanyin and me, hoping that I would serve for a few days." ”

Xiu Yuan is also a smart person, and said in a deep voice, "The King of Hades asked the master to go to the underworld to serve for his reasons, if I go for the master, first, I don't have enough experience, I'm afraid that I won't be able to convince people, and secondly, I'm afraid that the King of the Earth will not like it." ”

Xuan Che came out for these hours, sat here for a while, and was already a little tired, and he didn't explain to him at this time, only said, "I let you go, what I let you do, you shouldn't question it, and you shouldn't resist." ”

After finishing speaking, he stood up with one hand on the stone table, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned his head to the hesitant Xiuyuan and said, "Nine days and half moons will also follow you, if you don't understand anything, just ask them," paused, and said, "Ask half a month, don't ask nine days." After speaking, he slowly returned to the cave.

When her figure disappeared at the mouth of the cave, it was only nine days under the tree that she said faintly, "She made a big fuss about the Netherworld Division back then, and now the King of Jizo dares to let her take over as the Ten Palaces of Yama, and she is really big-hearted." ”

Banyue said lightly, "It's all over, and I'm still thinking about what to do." ”

Jiutian lazily replied, "I'm afraid that some people won't forget." ”

It was getting dark on this island quickly, and when Xiuyuan returned, it was almost dark. Inside the cave, a large cave outside is used as a study, and the large and small bookshelves stand against the wall, which is quite full of sweat.

The top of the cave is dotted with nearly a dozen mermaid night pearls, and the cave with light blue light is extremely bright, and then reflects this large number of books, but it makes people have a sense of seclusion. When you go to the cave inside, the light has also changed significantly, the cave inside is slightly smaller, it is used as the bedroom of the master and apprentice, there is no other furnishings in the cave, except for a chessboard, two beds, there is no other superfluous things, so the light is much softer.

Xiu Yuan still slept with his master a few years ago, but as he grew up, his master thought that his sleep took up too much space, so he asked Banyue to remake a bed and carry it in. Master's bed is actually very big, but she sleeps too casually and dishonestly, so she always feels that she is in the way.

When I slept with her, I always covered her with a quilt in the middle of the night, and when I slept, I only slept in the small place on the outer edge of the bed, and blocked her with my body, so that she would not move around and fall to the ground. Later, he slept in a separate bed with her, woke up at a certain time, and then went to her bedside to carry her to the inside of the bed, covered her with a quilt, and went back to sleep in his own bed, which had almost become his habit. I don't know if she will kick the quilt at night or fall off the bed in the days without him.

When Xiu Yuan walked to the entrance of the cave, he saw that she was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for him, she saw him coming, waved at him, and patted the edge of her bed to let him come and sit down. He obediently walked over to the bed and sat down next to her.

After a moment of silence, she took the lead in breaking the silence, "Ah Xiu, are you reluctant to Master?" Xiu Yuan's face turned red, but he didn't deny it, only nodded slightly. Xuan Che disagreed, and continued, "This time I asked you to go to the underworld for me, I also want to experience you, you have been on this island since you were a child, you have not been in contact with the world, and you don't understand the world, I can't teach you these things, you have to experience it yourself." In fact, it's good to let you go to the underworld to practice, but you must pay attention to the fact that there are many ghosts in the underworld, the yin qi is extremely strong, the resentment is very deep, and you are young, don't let some powerful ghosts destroy your spiritual root and destroy your immortal base. If there is something that you can't deal with, you can go to find the nine days and a half moon, the nine days are the dragon gluttony, and the half moon is the divine beast unicorn, and they can settle the general troubles. After a pause, he reached out and touched Xiu Yuan's smooth face, "I don't need to talk to you about the Netherworld, but you need to remember four words, and you would rather be in vain." Sometimes your momentary kindness may lead to greater trouble, so you have to put away your kindness and enforce the law fairly. ”

Xuan Che sighed, "I can only tell you so much, you can understand the rest yourself." ”

Xiu Yuan wanted to get up and salute, but she held him down, she reached out and stroked his hair, looked at him, and said lightly, "Do you miss your father?"

Xiu Yuan was stunned for a moment, a trace of crampedness flashed in his eyes, but he knew that as long as she was willing, what he was thinking in his heart would never be able to deceive him, he looked at her face and hesitated, "Master Fang just said to let me do something, I thought it was Master who wanted me to go back to see my biological father and mother." ”

After speaking, he looked at her a little nervously, he knew that with her personality, he would definitely not like to remember his biological parents in his heart, she often said that a cultivator should have six pure roots, and he was still thinking about his worldly parents, she must be unhappy in her heart.

Sure enough, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, "Although I forcibly took you from your parents back then, I have been your master for five hundred years, and I am also half of your parents, since you went to this island, you have been my person, if you go to the underworld this time and don't come back, I will not let you go." ”

Xiu Yuan felt that his master's reason was really rude and far-fetched, but she was a master, and as an apprentice, it was obviously not feasible to reason with her, so he had to respond to her words, "What the master said is right, the apprentice will not forget the master's kindness." ”

She nodded with satisfaction and touched his head, "In order to reward you for being so obedient, you can sleep with me today, and don't wake me up tomorrow when you leave." ”

Xiu Yuan was a little speechless, "Master, you let me leave tomorrow?"

Xuan Che said nonchalantly, "Yes, didn't I tell you?" After saying that, he lay down on the bed.

Xiu Yuan dared to say that she was not, and said busily, "Maybe the apprentice didn't hear clearly." ”

Xuan Che snorted in satisfaction, turned over, and stopped talking. He knew that she was sleeping again, so he helped her take off her coat so that she could sleep more comfortably, and at night he got up again and covered her with the quilt, and carried her to the inside of the bed.

He woke up very early the next day, and when he opened his eyes, she was lying on his arm, with her head buried in his chest, because he had slept like this since he was a child, and he didn't feel anything wrong at this time, but when he was young, she slept with him, and now it's the other way around. He carefully picked her up, then pulled his arm out. She slept very lightly, and woke up at the slightest sound, and she wouldn't be unconscious when she hugged her like this, but she was too lazy to open her eyes.

He got up and washed up, and then went to Merlin.

As soon as he went out, she woke up. To be exact, she woke up at the same time as he woke up, but she didn't open her eyes.

She lay on the bed with her eyes open for a while, and then got up slowly, and never cleaned herself up, so she walked around the cave in disheveled clothes, and after walking three or four laps, she suddenly stopped, facing a mural on the wall, the plum blossoms painted in this painting, she had nothing to do on weekdays, so she loved to make some danqing, and she didn't want to paint on paper, so she painted all on the wall. This plum blossom is in the direction of Gen Mountain on the cave wall, Gen Mountain is a ghost road, she buried a sword in the branch of this plum tree, to suppress the ghost and evil spirit in the northeast direction.

She walked slowly to the plum tree, stretched out her hand on the wall and stroked, in fact, what she loved most was not the plum, it was the lotus, only because Zangyue loved the plum blossom alone, and loved its arrogance, she planted plum trees on the island. The shadow is sparse and the water is shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon. The plum blossoms of this Langya Island have not withered for a hundred years, if he sees it, he should like it very much.

She smiled bitterly and stretched out her hand and took off the main trunk of the plum tree in the painting, which she cut off with a knife and put it in.

Two thousand years ago, he gave her this sword with a light smile and said to her, "Ah Che, this Heaven Splitting Sword is for you, and you will be the second Tianji Zi in the future." She didn't know that this was the trick at the time, so she took the sword and put it aside, ignoring it again.

Later, when she remembered the sword, he was gone, and the only thing he left her was already covered with dust. The sword never came out of its sheath since. And now, she can't selfishly treasure the sword, it's time for her to give it to the next person.

She took out the Heaven Piercing Sword, which was completely black, with only two protruding words on the scabbard, Heaven. On the other hand, it is the number of the previous Tianji Chengguang.

Although this sword is not sharp, it is extremely sharp, it can kill demons and demons, and it can kill gods and immortals. Xiu Yuan will not be too smooth to go to the underworld, and he should also have a protective weapon, although there are nine days and a half moon by his side, he is afraid that there will be a mistake.

When Xuan Che was thinking a lot, Xiuyuan's voice came from behind him, "Master, is it afraid that I am in danger so he took out this sword from the stone wall?" After a pause, he said, "If Master is not at ease, why don't you go with me?"

Xuan Che turned around, facing Shang Xiuyuan's eyes, still calm and unfazed, but if he looked closely, he could find that he had a trace of expectation.

Xuan Che didn't answer him, but only said, "If you go out this time, your father and mother will know sooner or later, don't run away with them when the time comes." ”

Xiu Yuan's expression darkened slightly: "Master, doesn't you want to see my biological parents?"

Xuan Che sneered, "I robbed their own son, it should be that they don't want to see me even more." Yan Bi gave him the sword in his hand, "This sword kills gods when it encounters gods, and kills demons when it encounters demons, if it is in danger, just take it out and cut it indiscriminately." Then he gave him the sword, and ignored him, until he lay down on the bed.

She was a little unhappy in her heart, she was afraid that he would not want to go back to Langya Island when he saw his father and mother, she had been with him on this island for more than 500 years, and taught him for more than 500 years.

In fact, the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth let her go half a year ago, and he asked the letter to listen to the truth to let her go to the underworld to take over as King Qin Guang, and bring Xiuyuan, which is obviously the drunkard's intention is not to drink, but the Bodhisattva did not say it clearly, and she is not easy to break. This Jizo King doesn't have so many fancy intestines, and most of the people who can come up with this idea are Mingyang. She really wanted to go over in person at first, but then she thought about it, Xiu Yuan wanted to see his biological parents after all, if he insisted on leaving, he couldn't keep it, so it was better to let him reunite with his parents as soon as possible, and then see what he did.

Thinking of this, she felt a little irritable and depressed. Unconsciously Xiu Yuan had already walked to her bedside, bent down to sit at the head of her bed, and said with a light smile, "Master is afraid that I will never return, as the so-called one day as a teacher, one life as a father, how could an apprentice leave Master alone." ”

Xuan Che said impatiently, "If you want to go, hurry up, don't bother me here." ”

With that, he turned his back to him. Xiu Yuan was helpless, and said slowly behind her, "Master, you should be honest when you sleep at night, don't move, otherwise it will be easy to fall to the ground, you are easy to kick the quilt when you sleep, and don't take off your coat when you sleep at night, so as not to get cold at night." Also, Master, although you have attained the Tao and don't need to eat grains, eating some immortal fruits is still good for your spiritual power cultivation. Also, Master, the black qi in your hands seems to be gradually expanding again, so you don't sleep all the time on weekdays, just take a seat when you're idle and go to get angry.

Seeing that Xuan Che ignored him, he sighed again, "Master, I will definitely come back, you have to take good care of yourself when I am not there, if you miss me, you can use the Moon Soul to talk to me." Hyun Che still didn't speak, but he knew she wasn't sleeping.

After being silent for a long time, he got up and whispered to Xuan Che's back, "Master, I'm leaving, wait for me to come back." Yan Bi stood quietly for a moment before slowly walking out. When he was about to leave, he turned around and saw her figure with her back to him, and suddenly wanted to go over, and then hugged her like this.
