“Bada!” Because Fu Li was distracted, the Liangyi Hunyuan Knot shattered, and the small pagoda fell down. Li Jing happily picked up the little pagoda, leaned over and looked at the two guys eating jelly beans, “Give me one.”
The old man sat up, glanced at Li Jing, twisted his body, and hid the gourd aside, “I won’t give it to you.”
Fu Li got up, dusted off his clothes, and walked to Bai Ze with his hands behind his back, looking very dignified, just if he wasn’t chewing jelly beans… the children were all very cute, but Fuli Tianzun’s face was the most delicate, coupled with the cold expression similar to a little adult, Bai Ze couldn’t hold back, and stretched out his hand to grab Fu Li into his arms and rub his head.
Fu Li slapped Bai Ze’s paw away, and gave him a flat look: “When will the class start?”
“We can start today,” Bai Ze said with a smile. He had already thought of how to teach the children on the way, “I want to borrow the heavenly book.”
“The heavenly book?” Fu Li frowned slightly and looked up at the wordless heavenly book floating in the midair of Yuqing Palace. It seemed to be surrounded by ambilight, tranquility and peace.
While the two were talking, the two little guys over there were already fighting. Li Jing wanted to grab a jelly bean, but Laojun refused to give it to him, so the two started chasing each other. Laojun, who was wearing a wide-sleeved robe, couldn’t run fast, and was soon caught up by Li Jing, who hugged him and fell to the ground.
Laojun was crushed by him, so he gritted his teeth and raised his hand, pulled out the small pagoda from Li Jing’s hand, and threw it out with all his strength. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Jing immediately got up to pick it up. Laojun took the opportunity to escape, took out a black pill from the alchemy furnace in his arms, and threw it on the ground with his hands.
“Boom!” There was a crackling sound, and the Yuqing Palace was filled with white smoke.
“Hahaha, can you hit me now?” From within the smoke screen, Laojun’s childish voice came.
“You despicable villain, just wait!” Li Jing chased and beat Laojun relentlessly, and the two stumbled in the smoke, crashing into something.
“Roar——” Bai Ze couldn’t bear it any longer, he changed into his original form, and with a move of “Small Flower Mist”, the thick water vapor dispersed the smoke, then he jumped up, knocked them down one by one, and beat the two little guys into submission.
During Bai Ze’s move, moist water vapor blew both of their hair back, and the little Taishang Laojun immediately whispered: “Don’t spray your saliva into my alchemy furnace!”
Li Jing touched it. A handful of water had landed on his armor, so he also nodded in agreement.
Bai Ze gritted his teeth and felt his head hurt even more.
The Wordless Heavenly Book was a treasure handed down from the ancient times. It had been enshrined in the Yuqing Palace and was under the care of Fuli Yuanshi Tianzun. There was no other reason, it was because only Fu Li could penetrate the mysteries of the Heavenly Book, and nobody else, including the Jade Emperor, could understand it. Whenever a major event happened, or he wanted to know about the past, the Jade Emperor would come to ask Tianzun to look up in the heavenly book.
However, the Wordless Heavenly Book also had another function, which Bai Ze also got to know by accident. That was, the heavenly book could convey the thoughts in the hearts of immortals through immortal power and change them into pictures in writing. Such a function was especially useful for the classroom of Yuqing Kindergarten.
Bai Ze cleaned the Yuqing Palace, moved the Heavenly Book to the front of the palace, and placed it against the pillars. The pillar was carved out of jasper, ten feet high and ten feet thick, with many intricate and dense patterns carved on it, which even Bai Ze couldn’t understand. The Book of Heaven had turned into a large book the height of a person, just leaning against the pillar. The lines on the pillars could hold the spine of the book so that it did not fall.
Spreading out the snow-white wordless page, Bai Ze held a jasper flute, passed his immortal power through the jade flute, and transformed it into the heavenly book. The wordless book had now become the blackboard of the kindergarten.
With the blackboard, there was still a lack of tables, chairs and benches. Fuli Tianzun was the supreme venerable of Taoism in the immortal world. Immortals often came to Yuqing Palace to listen to Tianzun’s preaching, and the palace was always equipped with futons and low tables to entertain immortals. This furniture was now taken out to serve as desks for the little ones.
The serious teacher Bai Ze even provided everyone with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Looking at the three little guys sitting below, Bai Ze instantly felt the great responsibility of being a teacher.
“Let’s start with the creation of Pangu.” Bai Ze cleared his throat, waved his jade flute, and pointed to the wordless celestial book. The translucent white celestial power, along the jasper flute, slowly and softly scattered on the heavenly book, and the snow-white writing gradually vortexed, showing a pitch black surface.
A long time ago, the world was still in chaos. While Pangu was curled up inside, like in an egg, and was wandering around aimlessly. One day, Pangu couldn’t bear such loneliness anymore, so he found an ax and split the world. This caused the separation of the clear and the turbid in the chaos, the clear became the sky, and the turbid became the earth.
This was a magnificent scene, which contained endless mysteries enshrined between heaven and earth. It was just… Bai Ze had never seen it.
Therefore, Bai Ze, who lacked imagination, could not fully construct the scene at that time, and there were a bunch of strange graphics in the wordless book.
Oh God, it really looked like an egg, it further looked like it had been pickled, the egg was still golden and oily, and the egg white was a little blue, it seemed as if there was too much salt.
“The world looks so salty.” Laojun smacked his lips and threw a jelly bean into his mouth.
Li Jing stretched out his hand in front of Laojun silently, but Laojun slapped him away and refused to give him candy.
Bai Ze gave a dry cough and continued. The tall and mighty Pangu appeared on the screen, holding a huge axe in his hand.
“Isn’t this the giant spirit god?” Li Jing pointed to the big ugly man on the screen, he was clearly the giant spirit god who guarded the Tianmen Gate, but the color of his face was slightly different.
“Uh… I don’t know what Pangu looks like, so let’s replace it with a giant spirit god.” Bai Ze scratched his head.
Li Jing pouted, feeling that the lesson was boring, so he lowered his head and started playing with his little pagoda. The Linglong Pagoda had a total of seven floors. Because the owner had shrunk, it had also shrunk. Now it looked very delicate.
The old man was so envious, he moved to the table with Li Jing, and whispered, “Let’s play marbles.”
Li Jing snorted and saw that the old man was staring at his tower, so he moved aside and did not let him play.
“I’ll give you the elixir, and you let me play towers, right?” The little old gentleman still stubbornly believed that what he made was an elixir.
Li Jing thought for a while, then nodded in agreement. So, the two who were still fighting just now burst into smiles, Li Jing ate the jelly beans, and the old man got to throw marbles into the tower gate. In the whole class, only Master Tianzun was still listening to Bai Ze’s lecture seriously.
Bai Ze looked at the two naughty ghosts who didn’t listen carefully, and then at Fu Li who was sitting upright with a serious face. He thought that he was worthy of being a god. Couldn’t help showing a smile, Bai Ze bent down and asked: “Fu Li, do you still remember the knowledge I said?”
Hearing this, he got up and put his white and tender little hands on it.
The scene in the heavenly book changed in an instant. The original ugly giant spirit god was replaced by a clear-eyed god with deep eyes and an indifferent expression. That was the real Pangu that no one had ever seen before! The chaos like pickled eggs behind him had also turned into an ellipse intertwined with turbidity and clarity, and the profound meaning of heaven and earth in it could be felt through the picture.
These were the true meaning that Tianzun had gleaned from the heavenly book for many years.
Looking at the epoch-making scene in the book, Bai Ze wiped the cold sweat from his brow, “You remember, then why are you still listening so seriously!” Wasn’t this just playing tricks on him?
Before the words fell, the scene in the book changed. These were all Fu Li’s real memories, but because of his backward mind, the scenes that appeared were completely different. On the screen, the Celestial Venerable, who was only three feet tall, was wearing a blue immortal robe with wide sleeves, while fighting fiercely against a group of ancient monsters. Those monsters also looked very…cute.
The round-headed and round-brained red-flame golden beast spewed fire at Fu Li, scorching Fu Li’s robe. At this time, a chubby white-haired beast ran out, spit at the red-flame golden beast, and instantly extinguished the fire.
Bai Ze looked at that fur ball, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, that fat and stupid big fur ball even had a pair of horns, no matter how you looked at it, it was… Bai Ze!
Bai Ze twitched the corners of his mouth, he had lost sight of the chubby and silly Dragon King of the Four Seas who had appeared behind him. “Forget it, forget it, let’s play for a while.”
The first class was over like this, Bai Ze felt physically and mentally exhausted, so he slid on the ground leaning on the pillar, thinking about what to say in the next class. Judging from Fu Li’s situation, he actually still remembered the past, that was to say, they all should still had common sense, and they still remembered their previous skills, but their mana had been greatly reduced and their minds had thus regressed. Maybe, he should just find a way to get them back in shape.
After the master left, the children were free, and they ran up to touch the heavenly book.
Laojun showed his alchemy experience in the book of heaven, planning to refine jelly beans with various flavors, and listed all the ingredients needed. In the heavenly book, they appeared in order: Baihua honey, flat peach juice, ginseng fruit, sweet-scented osmanthus cake…
Li Jing went up and squeezed Laojun away, then put two dirty handprints on it: “You always want to eat, you’re so worthless, look at me.”
The scene of the battle between immortals and demons appeared on the screen, and Bai Ze’s eyes lit up. He also participated in the battle between immortals and demons back then, and almost died in it. His memory had however been blurred. Perhaps from Li Jing’s memory, he could find that person…
It was the melee between immortals and demons, the color of the world had changed, Li Jing wearing a golden helmet, with a pagoda in hand was leading a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers, to have a snowball fight with the demons in the snowy demon world, which looked particularly spectacular.
Bai Ze: “…” He shouldn’t expect them to remember anything serious.
The author has something to say:
Small theater:
Fu Li: Who is that person?
Bai Ze: An indescribable person
Li Jing: Oh, I know, someone who has done indescribable things with Bai Ze~(≧▽≦)/~
Laojun: Do you need a little blue elixir? (⊙v⊙)
Bai Ze: … have to copy morality textbooks a hundred times!
