The sixteenth bowl of dog food: Bayberry Flavor Immortal Venerable Attack
If Gou Liang knew that he had to endure a thousand years of fasting before coming to this world, he would swear —
Well, it was too late to blindly compare.
At this time, our crying protagonist was squatting beside a blind Daoist priest's tattered fortune-telling stall, looking sadly at the Daoist priest who was waving a fan and … the snow-white dog thing on his head.
No matter how many small circles Gou Liang squatted on the ground, it couldn't change the fact that the hateful little puppy occupied the peak of his dog life.
[Master, be good, I'll play games with you. Don't cry. (* ^ _ _ ^ *)]
The system comforted him without any sincerity, not hiding its schadenfreude at all.
Anyway, no matter how valiant its master was in this world, it couldn't be ignored. It could do whatever it wanted.
The reason was very simple. No one here could see or hear Gou Liang, who couldn't stand loneliness, including his beloved husband and the thing on his husband's head.
Gou Liang chose to ignore the snow-white puppy and talked about his beautiful husband first.

This was the world where Gou Liang and the Lord God first met.
Gou Liang had also heard some past events from him.
Just as the Lord God said, Gou Liang, who looked like a puppy, caused him a lot of trouble when he first met him, so he had to go down to the mortal world to experience tribulation for nearly a thousand years to make up for his mistakes.
This was also the reason why he, a dignified God of the Ninth Heaven, appeared in the mortal world and looked so down and out.
At that time, Lord Li Qing was patrolling the border of the Wilderness where the Fallen Immortals were exiled and tens of thousands of devils were imprisoned. Although this was a place of exile in the Wilderness, for the sake of the peace of the Three Realms, it was set up outside the Ninth Heaven to deter the tens of thousands of devils. Even if something happened, it would not affect the human world and the netherworld.
The only exit of the Wasteland was directly facing the Three Gods Island of the Nine Heavens. Although the gods didn't care much about these prisoners, the Lord of Heaven ordered the Three Gods Monarchs to patrol the Nine Heavens regularly in order to prevent the depraved immortals from joining forces with thousands of devils to disturb the peace of the Nine Heavens.
Originally, Sir God Li Qing was not supposed to be on duty. However, Sir God Tian Hua had taken a fancy to a peach blossom demon in the demon race and tried his best to please her. Hence, he got the red-crowned crane to send a letter to Sir God Li Qing so that she could make the trip.
The border of Savage Desolation was as usual. However, when Sir God Li Qing was on her way back, she discovered a black hole that was about to erode the boundary between Ninth Heaven and Savage Desolation. She went over to take a look and missed it for life.
A flustered white furball ran out of the black hole and crashed into his arms. Then, it bit Sir God Li Qing's robe and broke a few purple gold threads.
Things went wrong because of the purple gold threads.
One had to talk about Sir God Li Qing's special status in the Nine Heavens.
No one knew where he came from. He was born with heaven and earth. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the beginning of thousands of immortals. The robe he wore was also born in response to heaven. Every time an immortal ascended, there would be a purple gold thread on the robe that was tied to the immortal bone of the immortal. When the immortal died, the thread would disappear.
In other words, if Sir God Li Qing was unhappy and tore his robe, the gods would have to risk their lives.
He had the Dao of thousands of immortals and should have been the master of heaven and earth. However, he was indifferent and didn't like to manage matters. Hence, he allowed the immortals to set up the Celestial Court and appointed the Lord of Heaven.
The robe was extremely valuable. However, Sir God Li Qing just wore it casually. He had never thought of setting up layers of protection for the robe.
In the past, thousands of immortals joined forces to fight against the Heaven Realm. When the Demon Masters of Ten Directions knew the power of the robe, they joined forces to destroy it.
Sir God Li Qing, who never interfered in war, frowned when he was woken up. It was unknown what he did. According to the rumors in the Nine Heavens, Sir God Li Qing just waved his sleeves. In short, the Demon Masters of Ten Directions died and their souls were destroyed. After that, the Celestial Court obtained an overwhelming victory and sealed thousands of immortals in the Wilderness.
Sir God Li Qing's power undoubtedly gave the gods the greatest sense of security.
However, who would have thought that thousands of years of peace would be destroyed by the baby teeth of a little puppy?
Sir God Li Qing took a few glances at the puppy. No one knew what he was thinking. He even stopped the Gods from punishing the culprit and kept the threatening puppy by his side as a pet.
As for the broken purple gold threads, Sir God Li Qing saved them and didn't let the ten immortals who were innocent die. However, their immortal bones were broken. They could only descend to the mortal world to experience the tribulation and rebuild their orthodoxy. Only then could they become immortals again.
Sir God Li Qing atoned for his pet's sins and accompanied them to the mortal world. He pointed out the path to heaven for those unlucky immortals and tried to pass the tribulation as soon as possible.
At this time, it was the tenth day since Sir God Li Qing descended to the mortal world. He was a blind and poor Maoshan Daoist.
Gou Liang couldn't be compared to Sir God Li Qing's calmness. No one cared about the fortune-telling stall. The stalls selling fruits, rouge, and talisman paper were bustling with noise and excitement. The stall owners didn't have time to chat with him. He waved a chipped palm-leaf fan and touched a string of sandalwood beads engraved with tiny scriptures. He had an unknown creature on his head. He was very happy and carefree.
After a few hours, the sun rose to the middle of the sky. The other stalls closed for the day, but the blind Daoist's fortune-telling stall had customers.
The group that came was a group of burly men with strong heads and strong brains. They walked with a strong military aura. The leader was a thin young man dressed in red and green. He waved a jade fan inlaid with gold and swaggered to the fortune-telling stall. The only thing missing was the words "I'm here to look for trouble" written on his face.
When the stall owners saw this, they didn't dare to remind the blind Daoist. They quickly cleaned up their stalls and consciously cleared the area for the blind Daoist.
It was that group of erratic attendants who could pick and choose from the fruit stall, and the stall owner had to smile and nod and bow to thank them for giving him face. When they were allowed to push the cart away with a wave of the hand, they were deeply grateful and did not dare to ask for money.
The young man stood in front of the fortune-telling stall, closed his fan and pointed it at the poor Daoist's head. He said, "Daoist, is this snowball yours?"
The Daoist didn't stop waving his fan. He smiled amiably and replied, "Sir, you know this little thing?"
"Of course I know it."
Seeing that his attitude was not bad, the young master felt that it was only a matter of a silver ingot this time. Thus, he inserted his fan into his belt and reached out to take a silver ingot worth ten taels from his servant. He fiddled with it in his hand and looked at the white ball as he said, "This morning, I saw that this puppy was very likable and fed it a bowl of the best quality bird's nest. It didn't have an owner and said that it would stay and play with me before I fed it to it. Good fellow, after eating it, it ran away and made me look for it. "
Of course, this wasn't the whole truth.
The young man happened to see the snowball puppy on the street. What was more special was the bright red color on its forehead. He was very fond of it and decided to bring it home to raise it.
He had been waiting at the place where he saw the puppy for a few days. Today, he finally waited and rushed to give it a lot of delicious food.
He didn't expect the puppy to disappear after wiping its mouth. He sent many servants to look for it and finally found it.
Now, he saw the puppy lying on a person's head lazily and innocently. He was very envious.
The young man snorted, "I didn't expect it to have an owner."
His jealousy was overflowing.
This brat was one of the unlucky immortals.
It was because he was the most precious son of the Purple Pill Palace's Palace Master. Half of his heart and liver were gouged out, so he didn't have the mood to refine pills and cut off the supply of pills in the Nine Heavens. Thus, the immortals tacitly requested the Divine Monarch to grant the first green passage to the Upper Realm to him.
However, he didn't know if it was an ill-fated relationship, but the young man fell in love with the snowball the moment he saw it. He didn't know that it was the main culprit who caused him to be so miserable.
For the sake of the snowball, the young man also put on a kind attitude and said, "How about this? I like this little thing. If you're willing, I'll give you ten taels of silver to thank you. If you don't want to, it's fine. Just compensate me for the bowl of bird's nest. Hey, Xiaoyou, tell Daoist Priest, how should we calculate it? "
A servant behind him who was thinner and smaller smiled and said, "Young Master, that bird's nest is used by our family's Old Madam. Other things aren't rare, but that bird's nest was bestowed by the Empress Dowager. Of course, it's priceless."
"I see. I didn't notice. What should I do now?"
The young man tossed the taels of silver and looked like he was in a difficult position for Daoist Priest. Then, he laughed and said, "Daoist Priest, I don't like to make things difficult for people. How about this? I won't take your thousand taels of silver.
What do you think? "Before the Blind Daoist Priest could say anything, the servant called Xiaoyou had already clapped his hands and said," Young Master is so kind. Young Master, you're too kind. "His flattery was very straightforward. The young master didn't like to hear those elegant and roundabout words.
The Blind Daoist Priest was still smiling. "I see. Young Master, you don't know. This puppy was originally picked up by this poor Daoist in the barren mountains. I kept it by my side because it was hungry and pitiful. It's its good fortune that Young Master is willing to reward it with riches and honor. This poor Daoist definitely can't accept this taels of silver. "
Gou Liang's mouth twitched when he heard this. In his heart, he thought, Great Divine Lord, you're too engrossed in your role.
The young man was very happy when he heard this.
His son-in-law, who loved to whip him, always said that he exploited the village and harmed the common people. However, he didn't know that he hated making things difficult for the common people the most.
Now, there was finally someone who understood.
The young man's mood improved. No matter what, he had to give the taels of silver. He even added an extra ten taels of silver and stuffed it into the young man's clothes.
When he got closer, the young man realized that this Daoist priest was actually blind. Presumably, the Daoist priest didn't know his identity. That was why he didn't hide from him like those ignorant peddlers who had seen a ghost. For a moment, he felt dispirited.
He didn't say anything more to the Daoist priest. He reached out and picked up the puppy on his head and left.
The manservant was afraid that the puppy would scratch him, so he coaxed the snowball into his arms with some nice words. The group of people walked to the next street and the scattered peddlers finally came back.
They asked the blind Daoist priest and found out the whole story. Everyone shook their heads and said that this young royal prince was getting more and more arrogant.
As for the twenty taels of silver, the blind Daoist priest naturally didn't mention it. He was alone and weak. Wouldn't it be a crime to possess a treasure?
Back to that unlucky second generation.
It wasn't his fault originally. Thus, when he descended to the mortal world to experience the tribulation, he was lucky enough to be reincarnated as the youngest son of the Princess Royal's residence. Now, he was a well-known figure in this city.
Qin Ran passed the imperial examination at a young age. The handsome top scorer of that year married the Princess Royal, who was five years older than him. Their family was harmonious and beautiful, creating a beautiful story.
There were three children in the Princess Royal's residence. The eldest son was similar to the son-in-law. Not only was he well-read, gentle, and reasonable, but he was also very capable. He was already a prefectural magistrate at a young age. The eldest daughter was known for her elegance and intelligence. She was both talented and beautiful. Her husband's family was also top-notch. After she became the wife of the head of the household, no one said anything bad about her.
Only his youngest son was not behaving himself.
It was fine that he wasn't good at literature and martial arts, but he was also extremely mischievous. Since he was young, he liked to provoke cats and dogs and didn't do anything proper. Now, he even did something like a motley crew stealing someone's beloved dog. It was really a disgrace to the educated.
However, no matter how useless this young master was, he still had one good thing. And this good thing was enough for him to walk around the capital.
The Third Young Master Qin looked almost exactly like his uncle — the current emperor.
The emperor loved him and made an exception to give him the title of royal prince before he was ten years old. The emperor lost his mother when he was young and didn't have the help of his maternal family. He endured a hard life and couldn't find a trace of sweetness in the past. He was always willing to indulge the young royal prince's unruly temperament, as if he could live another life with him and make up for his youth.
As a result, who dared to provoke him?
The afternoon sun was vicious. The peddlers gathered under the big banyan tree at the end of the street to chat. What they talked about the most was naturally the young royal prince's big event today.
When the news reached the Princess Royal's residence, the matter became that the young royal prince had brought more than a hundred people to smash the street. He had punched and kicked more than ten poor commoners and in the end, he had stolen a puppy.
How preposterous!
The prince consort was so angry that he stomped his feet. His whip was stopped by his old mother and could only fall on the table. He scolded, "Mother, you definitely can't stop me this time! Do you think he has any morals left in him? Let him eat all the words of a saint into a dog's stomach! "
"It's fine if he doesn't do anything to make me proud. Even if he wants to gamble and drink, I won't stop him. But did you hear what he did? Were the soldiers and guards raised by our family meant to be used by him to cause trouble in the neighborhood and harm the people in the village? Just for the sake of stealing a puppy, he can cause chaos in the four streets! In the future, what other ridiculous things will he do?! "
The prince consort had been an innocent person his entire life, but because of this unfilial son, he had been wronged. When he thought about it, he wanted to whip him.
The matriarch advised, "Calm down first. It won't be too late to send someone to find out what happened before you punish him."
"Ask what? Who should I ask?"
The prince consort sneered, "Your grandson doesn't have any other skills. Everyone on the street talks about him behind his back, but they all smile at him in front of him. They don't even dare to say a single word and swallow their bitterness. They don't even dare to ask for justice. Ah, I'm so lucky that he has this kind of ability! "
As he spoke, he viciously whipped the table a few more times. He was so angry that his face and neck were red.
The Princess Royal heard the sound from a few corridors away and hurriedly quickened her steps. When she entered and saw that he had hit the table, she let out a sigh of relief.
She walked over to her husband and picked up the thick whip. The Princess Royal said, "What happened? Why are you so angry? This table is made of red sandalwood and I told them to carve your favourite lotus. Normally, you don't get to look at it, so it would be a pity to ruin it. "
Prince Consort Ma had always respected and loved his wife. He also knew that she was good to him, but he didn't let him know. When he heard that he had wasted his wife's good intentions and saw the table being moved away by the servants, his anger unconsciously dissipated by more than half.
"I was too angry. Princess, please don't be angry. I won't be like this next time."
These words were not the Princess Royal's original intention. She was thinking that if her husband didn't throw a tantrum at the table, that whip might have landed on her son's tender skin.
However, this was not the time to talk about this. She let go of her husband's hand and smiled as she helped the matriarch sit in the main seat. She personally poured tea before looking at her son and saying with a smile, "Your daughter-in-law just came back from Min 'er's place and doesn't know what happened. However, I'm guessing that it must be this little bastard causing trouble again. Not only did he make his father angry, he also made his mother worry. "
When the matriarch heard this, her heart felt much better.
Although this daughter-in-law had a high status, she knew how to conduct herself. As a matter of fact, with just a few gentle words, the originally flustered and exasperated son regained his usual gentleness. He remembered to apologize to his old mother, so he glared at the dejected younger son and apologized to his old mother as well.
Seeing her little grandson who had shrunk his head back and didn't say anything, secretly winking and smiling at his grandmother and mother while his father was drinking tea, the matriarch also became happy. She pulled her daughter-in-law to ask about her granddaughter.
The Princess Royal's daughter had married into the marquis' manor. Everything was good except for the fact that she had an heir.
Hearing that her mother-in-law was already thinking of someone to add incense to the family, but she didn't dare say anything because of her status as a daughter. However, there would always be some words that would make people feel uncomfortable.
It was a good thing that the heavens pitied her this time and she was finally pregnant.
The Princess Royal said that her daughter was good. What she ate and what she wore, how the in-laws treated her. Even the prince consort who never participated in women's conversations revealed a satisfied smile.
Seeing that his mood had improved, the Princess Royal asked her son what kind of trouble he had caused today.
The young royal prince hurriedly told her what had happened and complained, "Your son really didn't smash the streets and hit people. I also negotiated with the dog's owner and gave him enough money. It was just that I had an appointment with the seventh son of the Sun family to race horses in the afternoon … You know that I don't get along with him, so I brought more people to keep up appearances. I really didn't do anything. "
Previously, when the prince consort wanted to hit him, he didn't explain because the prince consort was a person who believed that the majority was the truth. Arguing with him was useless and would only anger him more.
However, as a mother, she was always willing to believe in her son. Therefore, the Princess Royal angrily looked at her husband and then said with a straight face, "Even so, it's still your fault. Buying a dog and bringing along so many people, those who didn't know would naturally think that you were bullying people and not doing good deeds. Your father always taught you to think twice before you act. If you thought about the consequences, you would know that you should send people to the stud farm first and bring one or two servants to do business with people. "
She then said, "Listen to your father's teachings and remember them in your heart. Who knows how many people outside have written letters asking your father to say a word or two. Don't be ignorant of your good fortune. "
The prince consort coughed and raised his teacup to cover the corner of his mouth that was tilted up high.
Young Royal Prince Qin was secretly happy when he saw this and knew that he had passed today's trial. He repeatedly apologized to his father and swore that he would remember his father and mother's teachings and wouldn't dare to do it again.
The Princess Royal then said to the prince consort, "Husband, it's okay to whip him a few times, but today, the palace sent a letter to the marquis' fu saying that imperial mother misses Min 'er and this little bastard and wants them to go to the palace to sit. This stinky brat loves to complain to his imperial grandmother and won't go back and say anything bad about you. I think it's better to punish him by making him copy a few scrolls of Buddhist scriptures and give them to his imperial grandmother tomorrow. "
The prince consort felt that this was a good idea. Seeing his son's bitter face, he smiled and tapped his forehead. He ordered that the Buddhist scriptures should be shown to him first thing in the morning and then sent to the palace to prevent his writing from being disgraced. In reality, he didn't want his son to be lazy. He said that he was going to punish him by making him copy.
The prince consort slowly walked away with his hands clasped behind his back. At the door, Gou Liang was already dumbfounded and sighing in amazement.
What an expert.
At this time, the Princess Royal's image in Gou Liang's eyes was a golden figure of 1.8 meters.
