Longevity, starting from traveling and telling stories

Chapter 155: Joining forces to fight against beautiful women

Ye Beixuan was slightly stunned, then nodded, and the lazy smile on his face slowly faded.

He cleared his throat, slowly opened his folding fan, and swept his gaze over the crowd before slowly speaking, "Everyone, today we continue the story of the Investiture of the Gods. It's said that after Jiang Ziya descended the mountain at the behest of Yuanshi Tianzun, he failed to exorcise the demon and was forced to flee. He then transformed himself into an ordinary fortune teller, hiding in the streets, waiting for his opportunity."

He paused, then began to wave his folding fan, sketching the scene of Jiang Ziya telling fortunes.

Everyone felt as if the white-haired Jiang Ziya holding a whisk really appeared before their eyes and was telling fortunes for mortals.

At this point, Ye Beixuan's voice suddenly became low and mysterious. "Jiang Ziya's arithmetic was extremely accurate. He could predict everything, from future prospects to life and death to marriage. Gradually, more and more people came to him for fortune-telling, and his reputation spread."

Everyone frowned. Wasn't he afraid of backlash for revealing the secret so clearly? They were especially shocked when Ye Beixuan mentioned the scene where Jiang Ziya fished and "those who wanted to take the bait took the bait."

Jintian was even more shocked. Jiang Ziya seemed to be fortune-telling and fishing in the market, but he was actually waiting for his true destined person.

Prime Minister Turtle stroked his beard and nodded, then whispered to Chen Qianru beside him, "Pavilion Master Chen, Jiang Ziya's fortune-telling technique is somewhat similar to the deduction method of your Tianji Pavilion!"

When Chen Qianru heard this, her heart moved, her eyes flickered involuntarily, and she began to think.

She whispered in response, "Prime Minister Turtle is absolutely right. The deduction techniques of my Tianji Pavilion do have similarities with this arithmetic, but... I don't know the origin of this."

Seeing everyone whispering, Ye Beixuan slowed down and waited for their voices to gradually die down.

After the whole place fell silent, Ye Beixuan continued to tell the story of Jiang Ziya meeting a young man named Wu Ji.

Wu Ji was originally an ordinary woodcutter, but by chance, he received guidance from Jiang Ziya and eventually became his disciple.

When Jiang Ziya was fortune-telling for Wu Ji, he predicted that he would face a great disaster in the future, but if he could follow God's will, he could escape danger.

As expected, Wu Ji was later sentenced to death for accidentally killing someone, but with the guidance of Jiang Ziya, he was finally able to escape.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Jin Tian couldn't help but whisper to Hui Kong, "Jiang Ziya's fortune-telling skills are simply incredible! I'm afraid the Tianji Pavilion can't be so good! Otherwise, there will definitely be backlash."

Huikong smiled slightly, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, that's not true, but karma is cyclical. Jiang Ziya was able to guide Wu Ji because Wu Ji's own destiny was in line with the laws of heaven, which is why he was able to understand it."

Ao Qin silently watched Ye Beixuan, wondering to herself: This guy, could it be... he has some unknown connection to the Tianji Pavilion? Or is this not a story at all? Otherwise, how would he know about the Conferred Gods? Regardless, tonight, I want him to tell me everything in my arms. She completely forgot that she was the one who had been grumbling in his arms.

Ye Beixuan seemed to sense everyone's gazes and suddenly stopped talking. He looked up at everyone with a meaningful smile on his face. "Everyone, do you think Jiang Ziya's arithmetic is quite similar to the deduction methods of the Tianji Pavilion?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other, each with their own guesses in their minds.

Chen Qianru couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Ye, could it be that... the ancestors of my Tianji Pavilion are related to Jiang Ziya?"

Ye Beixuan smiled without saying anything, just shook his head slightly, looking into the distance with eyes as deep as the starry sky.

"Everyone, today's story ends here. To know what happens next, please listen to the next chapter."

After saying that, he walked away slowly, leaving behind a bunch of questions.

"Why? Jiang Ziya must have a connection with my Tianji Pavilion."

"Master, could it be because the royal family of the Great Zhou also has the surname Jiang?" Li Xianglian suddenly thought of something and reminded him.

hiss.
"And the distance he just looked at seemed to be the direction of the Great Zhou."

Everyone gasped and realized that it might be possible that the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty were the descendants of Jiang Ziya?
The Immortal Palace, which had been quite unconvinced before, was now completely silent. As the orthodox Great Zhou, they had nothing to say at this moment.

Of course, there were two people in the field who did not consider these things. One was Li Xianglian and the other was Ao Qin. Ao Qin hurriedly followed Ye Beixuan, and Li Xianglian followed closely behind.

Prime Minister Turtle saw all of this, stroked his beard and chuckled, thinking to himself: Young people, you really can't hide your thoughts.

Ao Qin was extremely anxious, his eyes constantly searching for Ye Beixuan's figure, his brows furrowed and his steps hurried.

Suddenly, she noticed that there seemed to be a shadow following her quietly. She immediately understood who it was.

She quickly dodged and hid in an alley nearby, holding her breath and waiting quietly.

Sure enough, Li Xianglian walked over quickly, with a look of anxiety and confusion on her face, and it was obvious that she was also looking for something.

Ao Qin's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes.

Just as Li Xianglian was about to pass through the alley, Ao Qin suddenly flashed out and stood in front of her, arms folded across her chest, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Hey! Isn't this Miss Li? What's going on? Are you looking for someone?"

Li Xianglian was startled by the sudden figure and her face changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

She glanced at Ao Qin coldly and said calmly, "Your Highness, what a coincidence! You look so anxious. Is there something urgent?"

Ao Qin chuckled, with a hint of provocation in his eyes: "I'm impatient? I'm just a newcomer, and I came here to appreciate the entire Tianji Pavilion."

Li Xianglian raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and said with a hint of disdain and provocation in her tone: "Then I won't disturb your pleasure, Princess. I still need to accompany my lover to appreciate the flowers!"

Ao Qin's face darkened, but then he smiled again: "Really? I still have to advise you, Miss Li, your lover might have already belonged to someone else, and might have forgotten you a long time ago."

Li Xianglian, unwilling to be outdone, chuckled and said, "Thanks for the reminder. But my lover is really devoted to me! He paints with me, plays the piano with me, and even lives in the same room with me."

Ao Qin gritted her teeth and became even more angry. She didn't expect that you and her would have such a thing. How should she refute it?

Suddenly her eyes lit up, and she pretended to reach out and touch her belly, pretending to be shy and said, "Oh, come to think of it, I also want to give my lover a little surprise!"

Seeing her touching her belly, Li Xianglian's chest heaved with anger, and a cold look flashed in her eyes. Sure enough, there was an affair, and it had even been discovered at home. But her tone remained calm: "Really? Then Princess, please take care of yourself."

The two of them argued back and forth, neither of them willing to give in, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Ao Qin sneered, "Same here."

Li Xianglian smiled slightly, her tone tinged with sarcasm, "He still has several women around him! I'm afraid by then, he might forget about Princess Ao."

Ao Qin's expression changed, and then he snorted coldly: "I can't think of anyone else besides you?"

Li Xianglian sighed softly, and said with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "I can only say that you don't understand his past."

Ao Qin's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, and then he showed a meaningful smile and said, "Miss Li's words remind me. So what was his past like?"

Li Xianglian said with a playful smile, "It seems Princess Ao doesn't know him very well! Then I'm relieved. I can only tell you that he has several lovers in the Great Zhou."

After saying this, Li Xianglian finished her taunting and prepared to turn around and leave.

Ao Qin suddenly spoke up, and said in a serious tone: "Let's join forces!"

"Huh?" Li Xianglian turned around and asked in surprise, "Join forces?"

She really had never thought about joining forces, but this guy would definitely provoke other women in the future. If he didn't provoke others, others would provoke him. It would be a good choice to temporarily join forces with this woman.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xianglian said, "How do we join forces?"

Ao Qin gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words, "Of course we have to work together to consume his energy. I can't take him down alone."

"." You guys really have an affair. Li Xianglian felt like her lungs were about to explode, but she calmed down and thought carefully. Having one more person is not a bad thing. What if she can't get it?
Just pity her!
"it is good."

The two of them smiled at each other, and a tacit understanding was born instantly.

Until the sun sets.

The golden afterglow sprinkled on the spiritual medicine garden, making the spiritual medicine flowers sparkle, as if they were coated with a thin layer of gold gauze. The faint mist reflected the afterglow, creating a hazy beauty.

Next to the garden, three thatched houses stand quietly, exuding a rustic atmosphere.

The yard in front of the house is not big, but it is well-organized. An ancient well stands quietly in the corner of the yard, looking quaint and timeless.

Next to the ancient well, a child about seven or eight years old was holding a wooden sword and practicing the Big Dipper sword technique seriously.

Although his movements seemed immature, each one of them revealed a sense of perseverance and strength. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, stretching his shadow diagonally.

Suddenly, a furtive figure flashed outside the fence of the yard. It was Ao Qin.

She approached the yard quietly, a sly look in her eyes, and her gaze lingered on the child for a moment.

Ye Xiaobei sensed someone approaching and thought it was Li Xianglian. He subconsciously turned around and called out sweetly, "Master's Wife!"

Ao Qin was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and was overjoyed: This kid is actually his apprentice! How smart! He guessed it right the first time.

Ye Xiaobei looked up and saw that the person in front of him was not Li Xianglian, but a beautiful older sister. He said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, sister, I recognized the wrong person. Who are you looking for?"

Ao Qin's face immediately filled with a gentle smile. She quickly walked up to Ye Xiaobei, reached out and touched his little head, and said softly, "That's right, that's right. My name is Ao Qin, your master's wife. You are really smart. What's your name? Where is your master?"

Ye Xiaobei answered honestly: "My name is Ye Xiaobei. Master hasn't come back today and I don't know where he went."

Ao Qin's eyes rolled and he was secretly happy in his heart: Li Xianglian, Li Xianglian, you don't know how to use such a good resource, you deserve to be a younger sister.

This disciple is mine! She squatted down, looked Ye Xiaobei in the eye, and said gently: "Xiaobei! Master's wife is meeting you for the first time today, so I'm giving you some gifts."

Ye Xiaobei hesitated, but when he saw Ao Qin's friendly smile and heard that there was a gift, he couldn't help but feel a little shaken. This sister, oh! No, this master's wife is also so gentle.

He nodded and whispered, "Okay... Thank you, Master's Wife."

Seeing that he finally called her "Master's Wife", Ao Qin was proud in her heart, but her face remained expressionless. She continued to touch his head gently and said, "You are so good!"

Ye Xiaobei blinked his eyes, and felt a little more favorable towards this "master's wife" in his heart. He nodded obediently: "Okay!"

Seeing this, Ao Qin chuckled inwardly: Li Xianglian, you're doomed! This kid will definitely stand on my side sooner or later.

She stood up, took Ye Xiaobei's hand, and placed a large, round, white pearl in it. She said softly, "This is a large pearl. It can enlighten your mind, or you can give it to a girl you like in the future. Master's wife will give it to you."

Ye Xiaobei didn't dare to accept such an expensive gift and kept shaking his head, wanting to return it. Ao Qin was anxious. How could he return it? Little cutie, you are my comrade!
After much pushing and shoving, Ye Xiaobei finally accepted it reluctantly.

Seeing Ye Xiaobei accept, Ao Qin's eyes turned again and he asked, "Xiaobei! Master's Wife just told you that you called the wrong person. Are there other Master's Wifes here?"

Ye Xiaobei was stunned, and suddenly became alert. It seems that this master's wife is here with bad intentions! So, I can't reveal it at all. If I let it slip, the master will beat me to death.

"There are no other master's wives here, only you, my master's wife."

Ao Qin felt very comfortable with these words, but she knew that the truth was not like this at all, so she prepared to use her trump card.

Ye Xiaobei is not stupid. Sister Xianglian is so good to me, how can I betray her?
Ye Xiaobei gasped as Ao Qin took out a dazzling sword and handed it to him, saying, "Oh! By the way, I see you're still practicing with a wooden sword. This Canglin Sword is a gift from Master-sister-in-law."

Ye Xiaobei stretched out his slightly trembling hand and grasped the sword. His master was poor and never bought anything for him. It was still the masters' wives who were the best. He could not suppress his joy and excitement. Master Xianglian, it's not that I want to betray you. It's mainly because Master Aoqin gave you too much.

"There is also a Master Xianglian." Ye Xiaobei held the sword, his eyes fixed on the sword, and he answered unconsciously.

"So how far has she and your master come?" Ao Qin stared at Ye Xiaobei's joyful expression, knowing that this was the best time to ask.

"It's not a big deal. Master Xianglian rarely comes here." Ye Xiaobei continued.

Ao Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she was still the original one. So what should I be afraid of?
"Oh! Last night I saw Master Xianglian and Master sitting here blowing air at each other."

Click!

Ao Qin didn't know what she was holding in her hand, and she crushed it. The sound woke Ye Xiaobei up. He then woke up as if from a dream and realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. Master, you can't blame me!
Ao Qin knew that she had lost control and subconsciously crushed things, which scared Ye Xiaobei, but her expression was still gentle.

Just as she was about to continue questioning, she suddenly felt a murderous aura coming from behind her. She turned her head and saw Li Xianglian staring at her with cold eyes.

"What are you doing here?" Li Xianglian stared at Ao Qin with cold eyes.

"Why can't I come?" Ao Qin was unwilling to be outdone and said jokingly, "Can't I come and see my little disciple?"

"Hmm?" Li Xianglian snorted coldly, walked over to Ye Xiaobei, reached out and touched his head, and said in a gentle but somewhat stern tone: "Xiaobei, she is not your master's wife, don't be fooled by her."

Ye Xiaobei was caught in the middle and felt a surge of pressure. He felt the bitterness of having to take advantage of others and not being able to accept their words. If he had confiscated Master Ao Qin's gift, he would have stood firmly on Master Xianglian's side.

So he stammered, "This, that"

When Li Xianglian heard this, she immediately knew that Ye Xiaobei had been tricked by her sugar-coated bullets.

She looked at Ao Qin, her tone tinged with sarcasm: "Your Highness, you became a 'master's wife' so quickly! Xiaobei is young, don't think you can mislead him by giving him a few gifts."

Ao Qin chuckled and feigned innocence, countering, "How did I mislead him? Xiaobei calling me Master's Wife is perfectly understandable. But you, are you jealous?"

Li Xianglian's face darkened, and her tone turned cold. "Jealous? Your Highness the Princess signed the alliance contract with me just now. Are you violating the contract?"

Ao Qin didn't take it seriously, instead, she smiled even brighter: "Contract? If I remember correctly, the contract excludes the two of us from competing with each other, but it doesn't include the two of us competing with each other."

Ye Xiaobei stood between the two of them, listening to them mocking each other, and cried out in his heart: Master, please come back soon, I'm under too much pressure!

"My two wives, please stop arguing..."

Li Xianglian and Ao Qin turned to look at him at the same time and asked in unison, "What did you call her?"

Ye Xiaobei shrank his neck in fear at the two people's gazes and explained in a low voice: "Well...you are both my master's wives..."

Li Xianglian and Ao Qin looked at each other, and a complicated look flashed in their eyes at the same time.

Li Xianglian took a deep breath and said softly, "Xiaobei, go back to your room first. I have something to say to her."

Ye Xiaobei was as if pardoned. He walked into the house and closed the door without looking back, all in one go.

Today's Storytelling Chapter 8: Extending Lifespan by Four Days, Mastering the Great Dharma of Bliss

【Fragment of a Warning Message*1】

I haven't used this Ji Le Da Fa myself once, and now I'm proficient in theory? Isn't this just like watching a movie and then doing something else? Theory is just theory, it needs to be put into practice. Proficient in theory = a blank slate. I don't recognize this kind of mastery.

Thinking of this, he looked at the doubled experience again. It seems that his apprentice Zhou Boran has started to exert his strength and has gained experience rewards for himself. It seems that it was not in vain to recruit him as an apprentice.

Ye Beixuan stayed outside for a long time and didn't go back. It wasn't that he didn't want to go back, but he didn't dare to go back. There was something wrong with the way he looked at Ao Qin and Li Xianglian today.

These two people will definitely follow us, so we have to hide for a while.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Beixuan got up and prepared to go back.

the other side.

The atmosphere at the scene was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

Li Xianglian and Ao Qin's faces darkened. Just as they were about to start fighting, they heard a slight sound of footsteps.

They both turned around at the same time and saw Ye Beixuan walking towards the yard with his head shaking.

Ao Qin's eyes rolled, and she immediately put on a gentle smile. She quickly walked up to him, took his arm and said, "You're back! I've been waiting for you all day!"

Li Xianglian was not to be outdone. She walked over to Ye Beixuan and immediately took over his other arm. She said softly, "Where have you been all day? I was so worried."

Ye Beixuan was caught between the two of them, and suddenly felt a headache. Why hadn't these two evil spirits left yet? And were they still chatting so casually?

He looked at Ao Qin, then at Li Xianglian, and sighed helplessly: "Why are you all here?"

Ye Xiaobei hid in the house, watching this scene through the crack of the door, and prayed silently in his heart: Master, I wish you good luck...
