You, a monster, still want to travel to the West?

After saying that, Jinjiao didn't wait for the man and the snake to reply. He jumped off his seat with his two short legs and ran out with the peaches in his hands.

Sitting on the seats in the mansion, Xia Zhiming and Qingxin looked at the folding fans in their hands, glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly - Jinjiao, you actually told me such important matters at the very end, it's too unreliable!

However, Qing Xin did not dwell on this little problem. She casually unfolded the folding fan in her hand and saw—

The silk is woven with golden threads and painted in red and blue in the center.

The fan ribs exude a graceful charm, and the green lotus exudes a refreshing fragrance.

The jade pendant sways gently, and the green lotus is fragrant.

The red thread forms a peace knot, and the mirror spring reflects the moonlight.

Summary: A beautiful and fragrant folding fan.

Xia Zhiming took a quick look at it. The green lotus and the golden silk on the fan in the painting barely corresponded to the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle and the golden feather. Although the changes were a little bit big, he thought that this was what the Jade Emperor threw into the furnace to refine.

At this moment, Xiao Qingxin opened her folding fan to cover most of her face, winked at him playfully, and asked softly, "Zhiming, does it look good?"

Xia Zhiming looked at the little Lolita in front of him who was trying to tease him, and he couldn't help but stretched out his tail and touched her cheek, teasing: "Qingxin, next time you make this expression, remember to make it bigger."

Xiao Qingxin nodded, transformed back into her young girlish form, once again covered her face with her folding fan, blinked her eyes tenderly, and asked in a delicate voice, "Like this?"

Seeing her like this, Xia Zhiming said nothing. He lowered his head and rubbed the girl's neck, looking very clingy.

"Zhiming, what's wrong?"

"Qingxin, are you teasing me on purpose?"

"Zhiming, don't you like it?"

"Qingxin, I like it!"

"As long as you like it."

In the Lingguan Mansion, the fairies listened to the conversation between a man and a snake as if no one was around. After secretly looking at each other, some of them blushed, some smiled in the corners of their eyes, and some stuck out their tongues playfully.

Sitting in the first seat, Qingxin naturally noticed the expressions of these fairies, but she was now accustomed to this situation and did not say much.

However, Qingxin was not planning to stay here any longer. She glanced at the white snake that disappeared in her arms, thought for a moment, put away her folding fan, picked up the teacup and took a sip silently, then stood up and walked towards the depths of the mansion.

……

After receiving the Golden Horn, he also obtained a treasure produced by Taishang Laojun. If it were someone else, he would probably be eager to try out the power of the treasure.

However, the man and the snake have too many treasures in their hands. They have the Qingxin Ruler and the Qingping Sword for self-protection, and the Qingxin Liuli Lamp for practicing Yin.

Xia Zhiming and Qingxin have not yet explored the specific function of this folding fan. It is more of a decorative function in daily life. After all, it is really beautiful.

In the days that followed, Qingxin held the glass cup and drank tea every day to practice. Xia Zhiming had nothing more to practice, and Qingxin never punished him like a little loli again, so he naturally had time to spare.

Occasionally, Qingxin would be too quiet to think about anything else, and would take Xia Zhiming to see the master and other elders to pay their respects, or take the white snake to chat with the monkey, lotus root, three eyes, and the third sister. Most of the time, there was nothing worth mentioning.

Time flies, and three hundred years pass in the blink of an eye.

One summer morning, when Qing Xin brought Xia Zhiming back to Sanxing Cave, after searching the cave for a while, they encountered a familiar yet slightly unfamiliar figure in a quiet room. He only saw...

Wearing a star crown and a robe.

She wears cloud-like shoes and a precious belt around her waist.

Her pretty face is smiling and her bright eyes are full of joy.

Her face is like a delicate flower and her body is like a swaying willow.

He is as beautiful as the goddess of Luo River, but he is a man.

Summary: He's a sissy!

Seeing this half-familiar figure, Xia Zhiming and Qing Xin were stunned for a moment, and then they exclaimed at the same time: "Qingyun!!!"

Across from him, Qingyun saw the familiar man and snake. He was smiling, but after seeing their reactions, his face froze and he said angrily, "Is it really that ugly?"

Xia Zhiming spat out his snake tongue and said jokingly, "It's beautiful, but Qingyun, how come you gave birth to a girl with a female appearance?"

Qing Xin looked at Qing Yun's face, nodded and said in admiration: "Qing Yun, you look better than me."

Qingyun couldn't help but frown when he heard Qingxin's praise. "Yun Wudingxing, when I improved my cultivation, I just wanted to change to a better-looking appearance to surpass you, Qingxin. I never thought it would turn out like this."

Xia Zhiming: “Hahaha!”

Qingxin: "Hehehe~"

Qingyun: "You are not allowed to laugh!"

Qing Xin and Xia Zhiming: "Just laugh! Just laugh!"

When the friends got together again, the quiet room was soon filled with a happy atmosphere, but only the man and the snake were happy. Qingyun listened to the two laughing, but he felt more and more embarrassed. Finally, he stomped his feet and prepared to run away.

However, Xia Zhiming naturally couldn't really let him go out of shame. He flicked his tail and closed the door obediently. Then he spoke to comfort him: "Okay, okay, although it's a boy with a girly appearance, it's really good-looking. Maybe there are other people who like this style."

"You'd better say it's a woman."

"Actually, the man I'm talking about..."

Qingyun: "Zhiming, I'm getting angry."

Qingxin: "Zhiming, stop teasing him."

Xia Zhiming nodded, then changed the subject and asked the real matter: "Qingyun, where did Master go?"

Qingyun shook his head: "I don't know, Master always leaves Sanxing Cave on this day every year."

Qingxin was puzzled: "Why didn't I know that Master had this habit?"

Qingyun's lips moved for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Xia Zhiming thought for a moment and then asked tentatively: "Master, did you go to see the monkeys?"

“How did you know that!!!”

"You've hinted so clearly, do you think I'm stupid?"

"Hehe, Zhiming is still smart."

(At the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket~)

Chapter 130 Five Hundred Years

After asking Qingyun about the whereabouts of Patriarch Bodhi, Xia Zhiming and Qingxin had no intention of disturbing their master.

That night, Qingxin was not in a hurry to return to the Heavenly Palace. Instead, she changed back into her little girl appearance and lived in the backyard of Sanxing Cave with Xia Zhiming.

The next day—

When Qingxin took Xia Zhiming to attend the morning class and came to the quiet room again, he saw Qingyun lighting candles and burning incense, while Bodhi Patriarch was sitting on the cushion with his eyes closed.

After the man and the snake had paid their respects, Patriarch Bodhi glanced at his disciple and saw that Xia Zhiming's snake was spitting out its tongue happily, looking very happy.

Seeing this, Patriarch Bodhi thought for a moment, then took out a gilded invitation from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Qingxin.

Xia Zhiming glanced at the invitation in Qingxin's hand and was about to ask when he saw Bodhi Patriarch shaking his whisk, stroking his beard and smiling, "Shakyamuni has sent me an invitation to attend the Ullambana Festival. Zhiming, please go on my behalf."

Xia Zhiming paused in his snake-spitting gesture and pleaded bitterly, "Master, can you please not go?"

Making him go to Lingshan and eat with the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, where did this ultimate torture come from?

When Bodhi Patriarch heard Xia Zhiming's response, he sighed softly and said, "If you don't want to, then don't go..."

Seeing his master sigh, Xiao Qingxin quickly held the white snake's head, raised his head and replied obediently: "Master, I will take him there!"

Patriarch Bodhi reached out and touched the little girl's head, then smiled and looked at Xia Zhiming.

Xia Zhiming saw that the situation was irreversible and could only respond with frustration: "Master, I will obey your order."

He was sure that the reason he went to the Ullambana Festival was all due to his master's personal grudges and there was no emotion at all. The problem was - he thought to himself that he was not laughing either!

On the opposite side, Patriarch Bodhi saw that both the man and the snake agreed, then nodded with satisfaction, raised his whisk and let them leave.

When Qingxin and Xia Zhiming bowed and took their leave, Qingyun glanced at the white snake with its head drooping on Qingxin's shoulder, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

Upon seeing this, Patriarch Bodhi raised his whisk and tapped him on the head, but did not say much.

Beside him, Qingyun sat down with his head in his hands, looking at Bodhi Patriarch who was resting with his eyes closed. After thinking for a moment, he pleaded pitifully: "Master, next time you go to see Wukong, can you take me with you?"

"Two hundred and seventy years."

"Master, this has been too long."

"Ah, you guys..."

the other side--

Following the master's instructions, Xiao Qingxin brought the White Snake out of the Sanxing Cave, opened the invitation, and read it with Xia Zhiming, and they both couldn't help but laugh.

There is no other reason. The banquet will start on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month next year, and it is summer on earth now, so there is still a whole year left.

Seeing this, Xiao Qingxin and Xia Zhiming looked at each other, casually made a magical move, and then leisurely walked towards Lingshan.

……

Anshui County——

Hundreds of years later, when Xiao Qingxin and Xia Zhiming once again stood by the Yong'an River bank and looked into the distance, they saw only—

The keel of the waterwheel was turned over and placed on the waterside, and the sound of the waterwheel could be heard all day long by the river.

Clear streams irrigate rice fields for thousands of miles, and water nourishes millions of hectares of Suhe.

Summary: Good water, good fields, good land!

Seeing this scene, Xiao Qingxin and Xia Zhiming looked at each other, and their eyes lit up.

I was just passing by Lingshan originally, but I didn't expect that after five hundred years, Anshui County would have become so prosperous that it can be seen with the naked eye.

After taking a quick look, Qing Xin was in no hurry to leave. She took Xia Zhiming to the city gate with her lotus steps. She saw that the plaque hanging on the city wall was no longer Anshui, but - "Mintian County"

Below the city walls, merchants' carriages passed by, leaving behind countless subtle scents. The man and the snake became even more intrigued, and after paying the entrance tax, they entered the city.

But I only heard——

"Tanghulu, Tanghulu!"

"Selling fried dough twists and fried dough cakes!"

"Selling linen clothes and cloth shoes!"

On the streets, vendors in simple clothes shout all kinds of calls and hawk their wares, and they still come in an endless stream after hundreds of years.

On both sides of the street, under the dilapidated eaves, various stalls and gatehouses still display all kinds of small commodities.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Qingxin couldn't help but frowned. The white snake's original look of expectation disappeared in an instant. It spit out its tongue and rubbed the girl's cheek - not as pretty as its own loli.

Xiao Qingxin didn't pay any attention to his actions. She casually took out a copper coin from her sleeve, found the old man selling candied haws, handed the copper coin to him, and said obediently: "Old man, I want a candied haws."

Across from him, the old man took the copper coin, looked down at the adorable little Qingxin, moved his lips slightly but said nothing, picked up a string of candied haws and handed it over, smiling and saying, "Little kid, hold on to it, don't drop it."

Xiao Qingxin didn't answer, but asked doubtfully, "Old man, is there not enough money? I have money."

Upon hearing this, the old man rested the straw on his shoulder and then extended his hand kindly, saying, "Just give me another copper."

Xiao Qingxin tilted her head: "So expensive?"

When the old man heard her say that, he thought for a moment and then stuffed the candied haws into the girl's hand. Then he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Candy is so expensive nowadays."

Xiao Qingxin nodded, but she didn't want to take advantage of him. She took out two copper coins from her sleeve and handed them over. After the old man took them, she turned and left.

On the road——

Qingxin licked the candied haws in her hand and looked at the plainly dressed people in the city. She said with some confusion: "Zhiming, there are so many good fields and so many merchants outside the city. I don't think it should be like this."

"To be honest, you really stumped me."

"So there's something you don't know."

"I'm not a know-it-all."

"That's it..."

Xiao Qingxin bit a candied haws and sighed in disappointment. In fact, in her heart, Xia Zhiming was really omnipotent.

Seeing her like this, Xia Zhiming thought for a moment and said helplessly, "To put it bluntly, there's no other possibility except that the government didn't do anything about it. We'll have to wait and see what exactly they did."

"Humph! Even the price of candied haws has gone up! That's bad!"

“This must be a man-made disaster.”
