Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the peony flowers were in full bloom, and the door of Jizhen Palace slowly opened.
The boy who was dozing outside the Jizhen Hall suddenly smelled a burst of spiritual fragrance. He sniffed, his closed eyes moved, and his mind was a little dazed.
At this time, a jade hand slowly raised up and gently tapped the boy's head.
The boy opened his eyes and looked up with some displeasure, but when he saw the person coming, he was so frightened that he suddenly woke up.
"Mother... empress." The boy stuttered for a moment, then quickly bowed his head and said: "Greetings to the empress."
The Nine-Tian Xuannv wears a green cloud jade fairy skirt and an alexandrite jade lotus crown on her head. She points to a jade-handled whisk made of Kunlun snow silk in her left hand.
At a glance from afar, the Nine Heavens Xuannv dressed in this way lacked the majesty of Xuanyang Yuannu, the Holy Mother Emperor, and had more of a fairy-like spirit and a quiet and mundane temperament.
"You've been sleeping year and month, haven't you had enough sleep?" Jiutian Xuannv looked at the boy with clear eyes and smiled.
The boy heard the words and bowed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"What's the crime of sleeping?" Jiutian Xuannu smiled faintly, then waved the dust in her hand and said, "Go and get the Ming Suyuan gate sign."
"Follow the decree of the law." The boy bowed and sang, and then left the Ji Zhen Hall.
As the door of Ji Zhen Palace slowly opened, Fang Jianfeng's divine and beautiful figure slowly came into view of Qing Yao, the Nine Heavens Profound Girl.
After the palace door was completely opened, Jiutian Xuannu Qing smiled and said, "What a reborn young man."
Fang Jian, who had cut off his obsession, survived the catastrophe, and used a thousand strands of Tao Qi to reshape his flawless golden body, quickly walked out of the Ji Zhen Palace, came to Jiutian Xuannv, bowed his head, and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Jian, greetings." Great Envoy."
"Yes." Jiutian Xuannv nodded in agreement, then took a closer look at Fang Jian and said, "Okay."
Then Jiutian Xuannu turned around with a flick of her fly whisk, slowly walked down the steps of Ji Zhen Palace, and stepped onto the broken jade path in the sea of peonies.
Fang Jian followed closely and followed slowly behind Jiutian Xuannv.
"Have you read all the scriptures in the Jizhen Hall?" Jiutian Xuannv asked.
Fang Jian said: "Back to the chief envoy, I have read them all, otherwise I would not have been able to get rid of my obsession and survive the catastrophe so easily."
Jiutian Xuannv was very satisfied, then she stopped and looked at the endless sea of peonies in front of her and said, "Do you know where this is?"
Hearing this, Fang Jian couldn't help but raise his head and look around, and then said with a serious and sure face: "Back to the chief envoy, I thought this was a peony garden."
"..." Jiutian Xuannu's smile faltered, she glanced at Fang Jian with her phoenix eyes, and said, "Anyone who is not a fool can tell that this is a peony garden, right?"
Fang Jian heard this and bowed quickly: "My lord, please forgive me. Perhaps I have misunderstood the lord's meaning?"
Jiutian Xuannv smiled, pointed at Fang Jian with a whisk and said: "You did it on purpose, don't think I don't know."
Then Jiutian Xuannv slowly said: "This is Mingsu Garden, my residence and dojo in heaven."
"Huh?" Fang Jian was really shocked at this time. To translate what Jiutian Xuannv said, it means that this is her private residence.
So could it be that the palace he was in when he woke up that day was...
As if she could tell what Fang Jian was thinking, Jiutian Xuannu nodded slightly and said, "The palace where you woke up that day is called 'Lingsu Pavilion'. It is the monastery where I practiced and entered concentration."
Fang Jian immediately bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I offended your majesty and deserved death."
"Okay." Jiutian Xuannv interrupted Fang Jian's apology and said: "I haven't said anything yet, what kind of apology are you asking for?"
Just as he was talking, the boy who had left earlier came back, came to Jiutian Xuannv and worshiped: "Your Majesty, I have brought the Ming Suyuan gate sign."
After saying that, the boy held out a purple jade talisman in his hands.
Jiutian Xuannv just glanced at the purple jade talisman, then waved the fly whisk and said: "Give the door ticket to Master Hongqing."
"Ah this..." The boy expressed his confusion and looked at Jiutian Xuannv with his big eyes, full of doubts.
Jiutian Xuannv smiled and said, "Don't ask any more questions."
"Yes." The boy immediately bowed and handed the purple jade talisman in his hand to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian was a little confused when he looked at the purple jade talisman, and couldn't help but ask Jiutian Xuannu: "Great Envoy, what is this?"
Jiutian Xuannv said: "Taixuan Province is busy with affairs, and I have to sit in heaven at all times. I really don't have time to take care of the peony flowers in Mingsu Garden. I will give you this Mingsu Garden gate sign now. You are on official business." In your spare time, help me take care of this peony garden, and you can also choose a pavilion to stay here."
Hearing this, Fang Jian quickly said: "Great Envoy, just leave this matter to the boys, why bother..."
Before Jiutian Xuannu could speak, the boy beside her said: "Ming Suyuan is the empress's private dojo. How can outsiders enter without permission? Even the empress's personal attendant, Qing Yan, is not allowed to enter here."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately cast his doubtful eyes on the child.
Jiutian Xuannv pointed at the little boy and said: "He is the formation spirit of Ming Su Garden, named 'Qing Yi'. He was enlightened by me and became a physical Taoist. On weekdays, when I am not around, he is the one running the formation to guard Ming Su Garden." .”
Qingyi boy looked at Fang Jian and said, "My queen gave you the door sign because she didn't treat you as an outsider. It's good for you to shirk..."
"You are the only one who talks a lot." Jiutian Xuannv hit Qingyi boy on the head with the jade handle of a fly whisk.
Fang Jian finally understood at this moment, and immediately held up his hands and said: "Great Envoy, I don't mean to dislike you... Many thanks to the Great Envoy for your kindness. I will definitely live up to the Great Envoy's trust."
Jiutian Xuannv smiled faintly and didn't care. She just said: "This Mingsu Garden is above the Tianhe River, just above Tianhefang and Tianpeng Marshal's Mansion. If you have the Mingsu Garden gate sign, you can open the Mingsu Garden through the gate sign." Enter the Suyuan Formation directly."
Fang Jian took the Ming Suyuan door sign and immediately said with a smile: "I see, it's not far away, and it will be much more convenient for me to come here from the Penglai Tianjie Inspection Department."
Jiutian Xuannv also smiled softly, then turned to look at the sea of peonies in the garden, and said softly: "I am busy with work and rarely come here. I think these peonies must have been lonely for a long time..."
...
It’s another ordinary day at the Penglai Tianjie Inspection Department.
The chief officer, Wang Yao, was sitting in the main hall and fell asleep. The four patrol officers below also looked a little bored.
"There is no clue yet that the Third Prince Nezha was deceived." Zhang Lou, the street patrol captain, said, staring at the beam.
"What clues can there be?" Patrolman Su Ye said: "Who is the Third Prince Nezha? Who is the person who can deceive the Third Prince Nezha? Even if he is found out, so what? Can you take him down?" "
"You can't say that." Another female patrol officer, Chuan Hongling, said: "Whether we can investigate or not, as patrol officers, we have to investigate. As for arresting..., we only need to report it. This It’s not our turn to worry about this kind of thing.”
At this point, Su Ye became interested and asked quickly: "Who do you think it could be? The person who dares to deceive the Third Prince Nezha must not be an ordinary god, right?"
Su Ye started talking, and the four of them immediately began to talk and speculate.
Some guessed the Monkey King, some guessed a certain great demon, and some guessed some well-known immortals in Taoism and Buddhism.
Even guessing at the end, even Erlang Shen was suspected.
Wang Yao, the person in charge, saw that they were getting more and more outrageous as they discussed, so he quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, okay, it's getting too much. Don't make wild guesses, or you may get into trouble."
As soon as Wang Yao finished speaking, everyone felt the light in the main hall dim, and then they all turned to look at the entrance of the main hall.
I saw a handsome and graceful young man with a gentle smile on his face, wearing a qingxia jade unicorn robe, standing tall and straight at the door of the main hall.
Seeing this young man, everyone including Wang Yao subconsciously stood up.
"Hong...Master Hongqing?" Li Fan, the patrol officer, murmured.
Then everyone suddenly came to their senses. The man standing at the door was none other than Master Hongqing, Fang Jian, who had been missing for a year and a half...and had been on leave for a year and a half.
