The autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, marking another year of desolation.
As the Beishan Meridian went east, the terrain gradually became flat. Beimingpeng launched a cloud boat, carrying Ji Qing and Taotie across the river, across the mountains, and through the clouds. The naked eye could see the mountains and dry forests on the earth flashing by quickly, dizzying.
Ji Qing looked at Bei Mingpeng standing motionless alone on the bow of the boat, and he stepped forward to say a few words. Ever since that day when his master and the emperor of the demon world were isolated on Hongmeng Mountain, he didn't know what he said. He remained silent, then took himself and left in a hurry.
Along with him is one of the legendary four evil spirits, Taotie.
It's strange to say, not to mention whether Taotie is willing or not, but the emperor of the demon world said to go to the prison to retrieve his soul and two souls, so the woman with pigtails directly agreed, looking at her cold expression. He doesn't look like someone who is easy to talk to.
Ji Qing was thinking wildly. Staying in the Yunzhou for a long time made her a little bored. Seeing that the master kept ignoring her, she first deliberately made a few noises in the cabin. After seeing that the master had no reaction, she stood arrogantly. Standing on the edge of the boat and walking on a single log in the strong wind, it can be said that every step is startling.
Ji Qing glanced at Bei Mingpeng's back, pursed his lips slightly, raised his fist and pretended to wave it with his back to Bei Mingpeng to express his dissatisfaction.
"We are passing through Daojian Forest now. If we fall, I'm afraid I'll prick you all over." A lazy voice came from behind Ji Qing. Unprepared, Ji Qing didn't go astray and was almost caught by her words. Frightened by the sound, he went out.
After a thrill, Ji Qing immediately jumped into the cabin, and then looked at Taotie cautiously, with a little curiosity in his eyes.
"Don't look at my master in a daze. He would definitely know if I was in danger. But you, why did you wake up without saying hello? I was almost scared to death by you." Ji Qing said seriously with lingering fear.
That day, her name was hit by the golden light of the sun from Hongmeng Mountain, and Taotie Avenue was damaged. During this period, she had been depressed, especially when she just left Hongmeng Mountain, she fell into a coma. At first, Ji Qing was worried that her life was in danger, until Beimingpeng... Taotie's breath slowly calmed down after he lightly tapped his finger to leave a golden sand mark on Taotie's forehead.
Taotie's eyes were tired, and even though he woke up now, he was still in poor spirits.
After she glanced at Ji Qing briefly, her eyes widened until the slender back came into view, and she saw Beimingpeng standing in front of him, as if he didn't care about what was happening behind him.
When he and the other three ferocious beasts were exiled to the wilderness by Liuli, due to his relationship with Ling Jiuquan, Liuli just warned himself not to leave the wilderness at will. If he felt that the wilderness was boring, he could wander around the eight hundred miles across the sea at will, as long as he didn't Just cause the lives to be devastated.
At that time, Taotie didn't take it seriously. He didn't need anyone else to tell him what he wanted to do and where he wanted to go. Even the Dragon God was just using force to oppress him, and a few people had to submit. As long as he got to the wilderness, it would be hard for him to have to do anything with her. Can't explain it?
The four evil spirits at that time were all vicious and decisive people. They were used to being domineering and domineering, so it was naturally difficult for them to change their bad habits. Especially the two women among the four evils, Huan Chaos and Taotie, because of their fierce and fearless personalities, they did not attack many The rules were taken so seriously that the Dragon God had to impose a ban on the wilderness in order to temper the hostility of a few people.
As a related household, Taotie can enjoy a wider space on the sea and land. However, no one would have thought that in the days when Taotie lived in Canghai for a long time, he almost never left the door or took a step out, and just stayed in the eighth house. In a land of hundreds of miles, he guarded the gate of Dahuang Prison carefully and meticulously.
At that time, Chaos still laughed at Taotie's incompetence. If he hadn't been able to leave, he would have gone to the sea to make trouble, in order to show his reputation as the leader of the Four Evils.
Taotie had a hard time saying that he wished Chaos could go out and have a look. If she bumped into Bei Mingpeng, he would meditate around his territory every day to see if she still had the energy to run wild and wild.
At that time, I did not believe in evil and was determined to make my way in the vast sea. But as soon as Bei Mingpeng stepped out of the range, Bei Mingpeng stomped on his head. Even if he stretched out a finger to cross the line, Bei Mingpeng would not hesitate. He gave herself a heavy blow politely, and it also contained the power of Buddhist mottos, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
So today, Taotie
I still have lingering fears.
After a while, Taotie suddenly turned his head and did not dare to look at Bei Mingpeng again. Instead, he tried his best to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying and said to Jiqing, "Your master must have beaten you a lot, right?"
Ji Qing tilted his head, wondering why Taotie asked himself this, but when he thought about it carefully, ever since his master preached and taught, it seemed that as long as he disobeyed or failed to complete his homework, his master would always reward him with a few chestnuts. Fortunately, he had a scalp Be tough, otherwise the master would have knocked your brains out.
"Yes, yes, how do you know? My master is so cute that he beats people up." Ji Qing thought that Taotie was an old friend of his master, so he immediately went up to him and murmured in a low voice.
Hearing this, Taotie nodded with satisfaction, but before she could fully experience the pleasure of feeling the same thing, Ji Qing's next words broke her defense on the spot.
"Are you often beaten by my master?"
"..."
"Don't worry, my master is a bit powerful, but he is still very reasonable. As long as you are within the rules, my master will not attack without reason. If you are my master's friend, you should understand this."
"Yeah, I understand."
Ji Qing smiled and realized that Taotie, one of the four legendary ferocious beasts, was not as terrifying as the outside world said. Today, people were talking to him face to face, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Senior Taotie, my name is Ji Qing. Please take good care of me in the future."
Taotie stared at the hot-tongued woman in front of him. If it weren't for Bei Mingpeng being here, he would definitely give her some color, otherwise he would really think that he was easy to talk to.
"As long as your master is here, I'm still taking care of you. Get out of here. I need to rest."
Ji Qing was startled again by Taotie's appearance. She turned around and looked at Bei Mingpeng subconsciously. The latter had sharp eyes and quickly raised his hand to pull Ji Qing over. He said with a smile, "I did it on purpose just now, to tease you on purpose." Playing."
Ji Qing blinked and then said casually, "I see, senior, do you still want to rest? If you feel unwell, I'll just ask Master to come over and take a look at you again."
"Never stop, I feel refreshed now, but I'm very energetic. Don't call me senpai from now on. You can see that we are similar in appearance, so we must be about the same age. From now on, you can just call me sister. senpai is too irritating. Got it." Taotie, who had never known the world before, took the initiative to get acquainted with Ji Qing this time, which was quite novel.
Ji Qing scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "I have read about the four evil beasts in the book. According to records, Taotie is the earliest evil beast that appeared. It has been all-powerful since ancient times, and I have only been cultivating for more than a hundred years, so it would be impolite to call you sister, right?"
The corner of Taotie's mouth twitched, looking at Ji Qing's innocent posture, he was most afraid that when she became serious, she would be so harmless to humans and animals, it would make people feel unbearable, and she would grin.
"It's okay. From now on, you and I will treat each other as sisters. Next, remember to rely on each other for good and bad times, and share weal and woe." Taotie said sincerely, nervously glanced at Bei Mingpeng, and raised his voice intentionally for the second half of the sentence.
Ji Qing didn't know what Taotie was thinking. Seeing her cheerful temperament, he felt happy in his heart. He was able to worship Taotie, one of the four ferocious beasts. If this news spread out, would he die in glory? When I see Brother Gu Yuan in the future, I will have bragging rights. It's not me who is trying to flatter him, but Taotie who takes the initiative to get him involved.
"Okay, but we must also set rules. Even if you and I are called sisters in the future, we must not do evil, do anything wantonly, be disrespectful to our elders, kill innocent people indiscriminately, and must not be ungrateful or unreasonable." Ji Qing is orderly. said.
Taotie rolled his eyes and smiled disdainfully. Just as he was about to sneer, his vision went dark, and at some point Bei Mingpeng came to the two of them.
"What my sister said is very good. I deeply agree with it. I have benefited a lot from having my sister's careful supervision. You and I have become sisters today. It is truly a blessing from heaven." Taotie put his hands around Ji Qing's body, with tears hidden in his eyes. Light flashes.
Ji Qing was moved by Taotie's true feelings, and his eyes became a little moister. As fate would have it, he didn't expect that he would have a sister so quickly, and she would still obey him, but it was not good.
"Qing'er, what you said before is not in vain. I didn't expect you to be able to teach Taotie, one of the four evils, by words and deeds. It seems that the books you read in the early years were not in vain, but when it comes to this, you can't. As a teacher, I have a question that I want to test you to see how your studies are going?" Bei Mingpeng asked in a calm tone, looking down.
Ji Qing immediately felt on pins and needles, with his head held high and his chest held high, he sat under Bei Mingpeng and prepared himself.
Taotie on the side looked puzzled. Could it be that this master and apprentice have always been like this? How come they started taking classes even though they were so good?
"If you can't speak to him, it's called a slip of the tongue. If you can speak to him and you don't speak, it's called a lost person. What does this mean?"
Ji Qing thought about it seriously and said, "It means that when you meet someone who is not clear-minded, you cannot say certain things because the other person cannot understand it. If you say too much, it will bring you trouble and trouble."
Bei Mingpeng nodded, and then asked, "Where did this come from?"
"A Study of the Analects of Confucius."
"What is the Analects of Confucius?"
"Master, you said you would only test me with one question, but this is the third question."
"answer."
Ji Qing was about to cry but had no tears. After thinking for a long time, he choked out "I don't know."
Bei Mingpeng said lightly, "The language of the sages, the commentators, and the discussions of the Confucian scholars should not be memorized by rote. It is more important to be familiar with the holy words and principles in the book, practice them personally, and use the principles in the book to practice the true results and test the truth. .”
Ji Qing looked aggrieved and was ready for the coming punishment.
But in the next sentence, Beiming Pengfeng turned around and looked directly at Taotie, saying, "Since you have married Ji Qingyi, I heard you say before that we share weal and woe, and we share weal and woe. Qing'er can't answer my question, so according to the rules, If you want to be spurred on by me, why don't you, my elder sister, do it for you first so that you can have an example in the future? What do you think?"
Taotie stared at her copper-bell-like eyes and looked at Beiming Peng in disbelief. This display of power was simply too bullying!
