Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home

Jiang Tuan missed Jiang Yi very much after not seeing her for a few days. He bent down and picked her up: "Uncle misses Yi'er too. Isn't he here to see Yi'er?"

While the two childish ghosts were being affectionate with each other, the other three princesses had transformed themselves from playful little girls into well-behaved princesses, and came over to pay their respects sensibly.

After several embarrassing moments, Jiang Tuan finally learned his lesson and started carrying some gadgets with him just to deal with this kind of situation.

After the three girls finished their greetings, he quickly took out the gifts and gave each of them one.

The gifts Jiang Tuan gave were chosen from those given to him by Jiang Qi and Lan Shu. They were all small, valuable, and childlike.

The children liked the things very much, and several girls thanked happily after receiving them.

After presenting the gifts, Jiang Tuan looked at the other three princesses and felt embarrassed to go and play with Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi is young, so he can act disrespectful in front of her; the other three princesses are sensible, so he still wants to maintain the image of an elder.

Unable to play together, Jiang Tuan had to take the four girls to the pavilion to sit down and talk.

However, Jiang Tuan and the princesses were quite different in age and living environment, so it was difficult for them to have a common language. As they chatted, they became awkward. Fortunately, Jiang Yi was more thoughtful and pestered Jiang Tuan to tell stories.

Jiang Tuan became much more lively when talking about stories. He used to read time-travel novels, and saw that some protagonists would tell stories of "Journey to the West" after traveling to another world, and everyone listened with great interest.

Now that he has traveled through time, is it time for him to show his talents?

From childhood to adulthood, he has watched "Journey to the West" countless times, from TV series to comic books, from comic books to cartoons, and from cartoons to movies, and he is very confident that he can tell the story well.

So with rare confidence, Jiang Tuan cleared his throat and began to speak, but before he could say much, he was ruthlessly destroyed.

First, the seven-year-old Fourth Princess Jiang Yue asked, "Uncle, can monkeys also cultivate to become immortals and serve as officials in the immortal world? Then can the monkeys on Daxia Mountain do that? Can horses do that? Can other animals do that?"

Then the eleven-year-old Second Princess Jiang Xi asked, "Uncle, my father said that alchemy is a lie and cannot be believed, so why is it that in the story you told, someone was able to make an elixir of immortality?

So is there an elixir of immortality?"

As soon as Jiang Xi finished asking, the twelve-year-old eldest princess frowned and asked, "Uncle, what is Buddhism? What are Buddhist scriptures?"

Jiang Tuan thought that the questions asked by the three older children had already made him sweat profusely, but he didn't expect that Jiang Yi, who was only two years old, gave him a fatal blow: "Uncle, Long is good, not bad!"

Jiang Tuan was not sure how to answer questions about the monkey's cultivation and alchemy.

Daxia was so averse to demons and alchemy that even if he said that Sun Wukong was a special monkey and that the alchemists were gods, and that elixirs made by mortals would never make people immortal, it seemed impossible to get the children to accept it in a short period of time.

As for the question about Buddhism, it was even more difficult to answer because he forgot that there was no Buddhism in Daxia. Apart from those alchemists and sorcerers who swindled people under various banners, there was no proper religious sect.

How could he explain this? Should he talk about the origin of Buddhism? That would be even more difficult to explain.

Jiang Yi's final words made him realize that he could no longer tell the story of "Journey to the West".

Daxia worships dragons so much, but he talks about slaying the Dragon King. Later he even tells the story of how the little white dragon was abandoned by his girlfriend and turned into a white horse for people to ride. This is simply repeatedly hitting the sore spots of Daxia people.

He could only quickly make up for it by saying that he had just made up the story and there was no need to think too much about it.

Fortunately, the children noticed his embarrassment and did not ask any further questions. However, Jiang Yi was curious about dragons because of Journey to the West and insisted that he tell another story about dragons.

When it comes to dragons, what stories come to mind? Some emperors tried to add drama to themselves in order to increase their authority, such as beheading the white dragon or the dragon's son? Is it Ye Gong's love for dragons? Or something else?

Anyway, when Jiang Tuan thought about the story of the dragon, all that popped into his mind were: I have horns on my head, a tail behind me... I am a little green dragon... I have many little secrets... I won’t tell you, I won’t tell you.

His mind was full of little dragons, so he couldn't tell anything else, so he made up an ancient version of the story of a little dragon looking for his mother. This time he was very careful not to tell anything beyond this world.

Jiang Tuan was very glad that he had lived in an era of information explosion. By mixing various stories together, he managed to tell a story that sounded fairly logical, which made the children very happy to listen to.

After he finished his story this time, the children didn't ask any questions that he couldn't answer. They were all discussing what a dragon looks like and whether the little dragon man is cute.

The children had a great time discussing, and Jiang Tuan was also very happy, not only because the children liked the stories he told, but also because the system reminded him that he had energy again.

He looked in his mind and saw that the list read: Enrich the spiritual life of the ancients, collect energy 0.5.

The energy was not much, but Jiang Tuan didn't mind. Firstly, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. He had looked at the list given by the system and knew that 0.5 energy could also be exchanged for some useful things. Secondly, this made him discover a way to collect energy quickly.

It is not easy to create things, but telling stories is much easier. His novels, TV dramas, and comics over the years are not read in vain. Even if you remove those that cannot be told, there are still many left.

Jiang Tuan couldn't help but want to toss, and after thinking about it, he decided to take the four girls to see the dragon. Of course, this dragon was not a real dragon, but the dragon-shaped refrigerator magnet he accidentally brought.

Although the Jiang Tuan family is not like some particularly wealthy families who can give their children most of the things they want, the Jiang parents have tried their best to meet their children's spiritual and material needs within their own capabilities.

If children are interested in something, they will try their best to satisfy it as long as the reason is right and they can do it.

For example, when Jiang Tuan was a child, he was very obsessed with dinosaurs and wanted to see a real dinosaur skeleton, so his parents took him to a dinosaur museum in another city for a thorough visit.

For a while, his sister was very curious about the distant starry sky, and his parents took her to the best astronomy museum to visit and learn.

Some people may think that children's hobbies are always changing and very unstable, so there is no need to pay too much attention to them.

However, Jiang's parents believe that the growth period is a critical period for children to gain knowledge, and it is important to satisfy their curiosity.

Of course, Jiang's parents will not satisfy everything their child wants. They will not satisfy anything that exceeds their financial ability or their inappropriate curiosity.
