By Jia Xiuzhen

Jia Lan came back to his senses, his face became more and more unpredictable. This is the secret technique taught by his uncle: "When you have no clue, you can only be calm and solemn, and you will have the upper hand if the other party speaks first." That sorcerer has never met a famous teacher before, it's a pity.

Sure enough, the leading one bowed again before saying: "As early as last time when the king stayed in the Oolong Temple at night, the younger ones noticed that the king was hiding purple awns; 'the purple awns are in the body, and the demon emperor falls into the dust'. Only the king The concealment is excellent. Although the little ones want to follow the king wholeheartedly, they are only afraid that they will ruin the great affairs of the king if they act rashly, so they have been following secretly. The several residences of the king's world are not places where we can go in and out at will. I saw the king suddenly today. Going out so far, and met that Taoist being rude again, the younger ones have no reason to stand by and watch, before Fang got the king's order, he took care of some demonic residue, and I hope the king will forgive the younger ones for being rude."

Jia Lan's thoughts turned, and he said indifferently: "I have forgotten all my past, so I have just thanked you all, please." After speaking, he wanted to leave on his own.

How could those demons agree, they hurriedly walked a few steps, kowtowed and said: "I wait for the nine demons of Mangshan to follow the king, and I hope that the king will take them in!"

When Jia Lan heard it, his heart jumped like a hundred or eighty frogs, "Monster? These are all goblins? This is really..." He really wanted to rush up and touch it to see what it was.I didn't know what to say for a while, so I glanced at those people and said, "I only see eight of them."

The leader kowtowed again and said: "Your Majesty knows, because of the Nine Heavens Cloud Moving Spirit Treasure appeared in the world, we searched everywhere and had some disputes with others. The old nine did not set up defenses and let a monk seal him in a certain place. So I couldn't show up."

Jia Lan then asked, "You don't even know where it is?"

The few monsters looked at each other silently, with a look of distress on their faces. Jia Lan looked at it and felt strange, "This monster looks very loyal."I heard the monster say: "I'm incompetent, I haven't found out where it is yet."

Jia Lan sent a sentence by a mysterious messenger: "If you want me to take action in the future, just come and find me."

All the demons were overjoyed, kowtowing one by one, Jia Lan hurriedly stopped them.Inevitably talking about following him again, Jia Lan scratched his head: "I'm not lying, I don't know anything about monsters. It's not lying to you to say that I have forgotten the past. Look at me now. , I’m just a kid, why did you guys follow me? And you just said that it’s not convenient for you to come in and out of the place where I usually live, so why do you follow me?”

The little demon suddenly said: "If we can get a few Shechen treasure clothes, we can also change our human form, and naturally we can serve the king around."

Jia Lan asked clearly, and grinned, "A group of monsters follow me all day long with a dead body on their backs?" Shivering, "Thinking about it is enough."

The little demon was still waiting to speak, but was held back by a few waiters.Jia Lan said goodbye to them, went back to the academy to find Mr. Zhu, said a word, and hurried home.Mo Yansong got the news and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I was shocked by what was written in that book."

When Jia Lan arrived at the mansion, he met Jia Zheng first, and then went straight to the garden to look for Li Wan.When Li Wan saw him coming back, he said, "Aren't you going to find your aunts this time?" Jia Lan stepped forward and pulled Li Wan's sleeves, and said in a low voice, "Mother, I have something important to tell you."

Li Wan led him into his room and asked Suyun Biyue to watch outside, then asked him, "What's wrong with you again?"

Jia Lan hurriedly told what happened just now, and Li Wan hurriedly pulled him closer to him, carefully watching his expression, but worried that such a terrible thing happened to him at such a young age, and he might have nightmares for a few days.It is true that having a child and raising a child does not necessarily know the child. How does Jia Lan know what fear is?He was worrying: "Mom, this is great, I don't even have a 'will' to be scolded by my husband! I said that I want to subdue demons, but in the end, all these demons came to me and wanted to take refuge in me!"

Li Wan laughed: "I told you earlier that when you made a breakthrough in cultivation, your eyes had abnormalities, and you tried to cover them up. Why are you so careless? You are dressed in dragon clothes and tiger spirits, and you have the combination of dragon and tiger. Isn't the senior in the class high?!"

Jia Lan looked at Li Wan again, and Li Wan asked him, "What else?"

Jia Lan then asked: "Last time, Mother said that she wanted a goblin. In other words, I really don't know what to find in this world that is what you want, Mother. Now it's so easy for me to get a few of what Mother wants. Monster, I don’t think I should be filial if I offer two of them.”

Li Wan rejoiced: "Nonsense!" These words got her thinking - seeing Jia Lan's appearance, it might be difficult to keep him away from those monsters; I don't know what is morality in the world, if I really stay with Jia Lan, it will be rare to be quiet in the future.With a plan in mind, he said, "They want Shechen Treasure Clothes?"

Jia Lan frowned and nodded: "I thought it was a magic weapon at first, but it turned out to be a fresh corpse. It's too disgusting. I don't want such a group of 'monster corpses' to follow."

Li Wan nodded: "Well, it's just that if you really want them to follow, it may be difficult for you to be a monster. I have a way, but I don't know if you like it or not."

When Jia Lan wanted to ask, Li Wan cut the whole story of Suo Lingpuppet's words, but did not mention the "puppet" thing. He only said that there are Taoists who can "cultivate the body", and can also stay in the spirit, no different from ordinary people. .Jia Lan was so happy that she scratched her head and ears, she just kept asking Li Wan about this and that.Li Wan stopped him and said, "You told them that if you 'masters and servants' are willing to do so, you can take them to the garden outside our city with the 'instant return talisman' in one night. Go. I will invite someone here to settle them."

Jia Lan said happily, "Mother, what did you say 'master and servant'? They knelt down and called me 'big king'. When I said another name, they changed it to 'grandpa'. It's really..."

Li Wan laughed when he heard that.I also asked the reason for going to the deep mountain, only to find out that it was because of my determination.Then he sighed and said: "Your aunts were all there that day, so I can't say something in detail. Another thing, alas, there are too many things in this world that are just thoughts and reasons, but if you can say something, Only other people can say two things. It's useless to stop at 'thinking' and 'thinking'.

As far as I'm concerned, you just don't care about these things, and just do what you like to do right now.Man, you can't become someone else.With your nature, it may be difficult for you to learn from others and work hard all the way to achieve success.The so-called "Enterprises can't stand up, cross-border people can't do it", all things that are pretentious and feel "difficult" to do in the heart will inevitably not last long.Only those who come from the heart and nature can be tireless.

What is said in the outside world that "the right way should be" is all false. Whether what you are doing is "right way", the only person who should ask is your "heart".This heart is not a bunch of "should or not" that others tell you, but the "true sense of reality" in your heart when you are engaged in this matter.Is it hard to endure, restless and hide anger, or is it free and lively, flowing with vitality.It's all real, nothing fake. "

After hearing this, Jia Lan realized something, sat there for a long time, and said with a sigh of relief: "Mother, why don't you tell my aunts?"

Li Wan shook his head and said, "It's all for you to listen to such words. If another person listens to it and spreads it sooner or later, it will go against the truth of the world. It will inevitably provoke tongues, so why bother."

Jia Lan said: "Why can't you say something that is obviously right and useful?"

Li Wan smiled: "If your husband hears this, he will say that you don't like to use your brain anymore. Let me ask you, when you get along with people on a daily basis, what exactly do you get along with?"

Jia Lan was puzzled: "Of course it's just a person... what else..."

Li Wan shook his head again: "Actually, for how long, our so-called getting along is just getting along with one ball of thoughts with another ball of thoughts. What does a person have? The body is just loaded with these things. So, the right way outside, what you said It is benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, what a gentleman should do. How many people, the thoughts in their minds are based on this, and they have never asked whether it is true or not, but they want to judge right from wrong. If you take that Didn't the words "just ask the heart" create a big difference and conflict with those pre-existing thoughts?

If a thought is disproved by others, where can it hide?It's all gone.For this reason, it is natural to fight with you. It is best to pick out your inaccuracies and prove that he is still the right way, so as to protect yourself.Even if you want to give up, because it is about life and death, if you just say it, it is a life and death struggle. You will never be allowed to retreat, because "the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop".That's why I said just now that there is no need for verbal disputes, it is always inconsistent and wastes mental energy.

There is another one, 'but ask your heart', which is not easy.Because most people don't know their own minds, most of them take thoughts as their minds.As long as that cloud of right and wrong thoughts is my own heart, if so, I said that, if he really listened to it, he went on the wrong path and made more and more mistakes, isn't it also a crime?That's why it is said that 'the truth is not passed on lightly'. "

Jia Lan's eyes were clear and blank for a while, and he shook his head and said, "I have to think about what my mother said."

Li Wan sighed: "Think? If you think about it, you will be wrong. You can't wake up for a while, but your mental strength is still weak. This is not something you can use your strength to do. You can let it go first. What experiences you have in the future, or just a moment Even if I understand, I don’t know.”

Jia Lan nodded, and the mother and son talked about cultivating the mind and body. It was not until Su Yun came to report that it was Xiang Yun who came to say goodbye, and then they went out to talk together again.

Li Wan, Bao Dai and others sent Xiangyun to the door together, seeing Xiangyun's red eyes, he was very attached to him.Baochai knows the trick, winks at her, and urges her to go quickly.Li Wan glanced over and saw the embarrassment on the faces of the leading daughters-in-law who came to pick him up, so he also persuaded Xiangyun to get in the car.

After being sent out, Xiangyun called Baoyu to say a few more words before getting in the car and leaving.

When turning back, Biyue said: "Miss Yun is very reluctant to go back, why don't grandma say a few words for her and ask her to stay at our house for a few more days."

Before Li Wan could speak, Su Yun had already sighed: "It can be seen that 'the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change', what is the difference between what you say now and when you helped the little girls and women with their affairs? It's just looking at the superficial matter, and as soon as my head gets hot, I think that I am a Bodhisattva who wants to save all living beings, and I completely forget the word "duty". What kind of character are you, can you sympathize with the girls? Besides, Yun Do you know what the girl looks like at home? Another thing, what kind of person do you think our grandma is, and let our grandma do things that the old lady can't do?"

Bi Yue grabbed the handkerchief: "I just said that..."

Suyun said: "We are not little girls at that time, you should also be more careful. 'But just say that', Qingwen was kicked out for just saying that, if you still can't control your mouth and grow If you can't use your own brain, I think it will be a matter of time."

Biyue knew very well that she had spoken out of order just now, and she didn't dare to refute Suyun's harsh words.Li Wan was afraid that they would have a rift because of this, so he said: "Suyun usually doesn't talk about other people's words. It can be seen that she really values ​​you. You can't fool her."

Biyue nodded, Suyun smiled and said, "Grandma doesn't have to worry about this. If she feels alienated because of my words, then that's fine. It'll save me from being picked on all day long, and I'll have to live longer." A few blows."

The master and the servants went to Daoxiang Village while they were talking, and Biyue told the nuns about it.Nanny Chang smiled: "Suyun is right. I don't care about it now. There is a saying that a rotten wood cannot be carved, and she is probably like that."

Yan Momo then said: "Ms. Shi is a girl of the Shi family. Even if she really has some grievances, it is not good for her family to show it in front of outsiders. Even if the old lady knows about this, she may not be happy. Then One, is it a grievance? We have never seen it with our own eyes. How can we do it accurately? Just relying on Smith's own words of "work is very tiring"? It won't be tiring to do this and that for Master Bao here. ? In their house, it was his aunt, the head wife's idea. It's better here, but listening to a bunch of slaves, it's better, it should be? We don't understand such words, don't know Biyue, you What is your mind?"

Bi Yue blushed, unable to hold back a word.

Mother Chang smiled and said: "I always hear that the wind is the rain, and there is no place to wake up. Fortunately, she is just a girl, so she can find a more ordinary person to match her. If she is a young lady, what kind of concubine will she marry?" Going to a house with many aunts and sisters-in-law is really lively. If you are not careful, you will be used as a stick."

Biyue was so frustrated that she tossed and turned in bed at night and couldn't sleep.Li Wan didn't want anyone to stay at night, and Suyun was in the same room with her, and it was really strange to hear the movement.Simply getting up, the two put on their clothes and talked for a long time.But she didn't know what she said, and the next day, Biyue was full of life again.

A few days later, Jia Lan went up the mountain again, and sure enough those people showed up again.Jia Lan talked about the matter, and only made a few old demons so happy that they made an appointment to meet on the back mountain ridge when the sun turned ugly.

The little demon who first asked for the treasure clothes laughed: "What did I say! You scolded me for being rude and irritable back then. If I hadn't asked, would I have gotten such a good thing now?"

The other said: "What do you know! Your Majesty's ability to possess purple awns is of extraordinary origin. The few of us are not bad at the beginning, but how can we compare with him? You said such things recklessly, don't talk about us He came here sincerely, but it seems that he is plotting something with him! With his status and ability, if he wants to find some demon servants, I am afraid that not all the demons in the world will be eager to covet us? Don't talk about what we can do, but If it were you, would you be willing to have such a subordinate?"

The leader came to smooth things over: "This is also reasonable. Xiaoyao'er did not speak properly that day. Fortunately, the king didn't take it seriously, and managed such a great event for us. It is really gratifying."

The one on the side said: "It's just that the king asked me to deal with all the miscellaneous things that need to be dealt with first. I am afraid that we will be inconvenient after getting the treasure clothes. What's the explanation? Only those who get the treasure clothes will be more convenient to do things. Is there any reason for the inconvenience?"

Everyone pondered for a moment, and the one who mentioned this matter said self-reliantly: "Maybe the king will send you immediately? Yes, yes, it is not easy to find such precious clothes for us in a short time. Leave the important things to me to do.”

Everyone heard that Qi Dao was reasonable, and in order to prevent inconvenience in the future, they all dispersed when they made an appointment to see each other again.

He also said that Li Wan knew about Jia Lan's arrangement, so he sent Ah Tu to wait in a garden in the suburbs, and then handed over to him a team of eight puppets that had been selected in the Zhujie before.These eight puppets are a group of attendants in Linfeng Pavilion. If they want to cooperate and get familiar with each other on a daily basis, they are also suitable for this group of monsters.

Sure enough, Jia Lan activated the Instant Return Talisman, and all the people appeared on a small island in the lake in the garden in a short while.The demons hadn't come back to their senses yet, they just felt a sense of coercion coming over them, their hearts trembled, and they all knelt down on the ground.Ah Tu said, "What's the matter?" Jia Lan was dumbfounded at this time, so he couldn't care less.The demons figured out what they meant, and they probably asked each of them to deal with the matter before, so they replied: "There is one brother who doesn't know where he is right now, and this is the only thing we worry about." A Tu looked at Jia Lan, and Jia Lan had no choice but to nod : "I will search for myself." All the demons thanked.

Ah Tu has already popped out the formula, and a faint halo enveloped the people in front of him. For a moment, those monsters flashed back to their original shapes and returned to a spot of light. A few spots of light scattered into the brows of a group of people standing quietly at the side, and they disappeared in a flash.Ah Tu flicked a light halo from his fingertips towards Jia Lan, and said, "This is the master of the body." A group of servants, exactly eight, came forward to see him.

Jia Lan couldn't recover, and didn't know what to say. At this moment, he saw a young maid in green clothes standing beside Ah Tu, and shouted happily, "Master! I've found you!"

Ah Tu hadn't spoken yet, but the people around him stepped forward to salute, "I've seen Senior Sister."

The person who came was naturally Guiliu. When she saw the people in front of her, she smiled and said, "Why are you here too? I just said that it's so lonely here alone. Now it's very lively." Seeing Jialan beside her again, she hid her face He said, "Are you here to serve my brother? Oh, that would be the best! Sure enough, Grandma and our Daqian Pavilion have a very close relationship, and our girl sent me to go, and my brother is always with me. A. Tsk tsk."

Jia Lan pointed at her with shaking fingers: "You, you, you..."

Ah Tu gave Jia Lan a wink, and said in a low voice, "This is my apprentice."

Jia Lan exhaled: "I said, I should still be the same as these few."

Ah Tu shook his head with a smile, Li Wan's spiritual consciousness attached to him naturally had no intention in every word or deed, but how could Jia Lan know this?
