Please don't force me to be a god.

Zhang Tian was too lazy to explain and said, "I don't have any honorific title, I'm just Zhang Tian."

Xu Wen asked cautiously, "What era?"

Zhang Tian said unhappily, "If you keep thinking about these useless things, I will not forgive you if you fail the imperial examination."

"Okay."

Seeing that Zhang Tian refused to say anything, Xu Wen had no choice but to go back to study dejectedly.

Tienan pulled Xu Wen aside and asked in a low voice: "Xu Xiucai, who is the God that the immortal just mentioned?"

Xu Wen was a little surprised: "You don't even know God?"

Tienan was puzzled: "Should I know?"

"You should know."

"Then who is he? Tell me."

Xu Wen took a long breath and said: "His name is: Tai Shang Kai Tian Zhi Fu Yu Li Han Zhen Ti Dao Jin Que Yun Gong Jiu Qiong Yu Li Wan Dao Wu Wei Da Dao Ming Dian Hao Tian Jin Que Supreme Jade Emperor Xie Xie Da Tian Zun Xuan Qiong Gao Shangdi, which is what we usually call the Jade Emperor, Hao Tian God, and God."

Tienan looked admiring: "As expected of a scholar, you have read a lot of books, so your breath is long."

Although they lowered their voices, they were on the same boat, so how could Zhang Tian not hear it.

Just now, I was angry and forgot to change the names of the characters in the story.

Fortunately, in this era, "God" refers to the Jade Emperor, so Xu Wen made up his mind and Zhang Tian had no trouble.

However, in later generations, foreign missionaries dared to translate GOD into God only in front of the gentle Taoism.

If other religions in the Middle East dared to translate GOD into their supreme god in front of others, wouldn't it cause a religious war? !

Zhuo Ping asked: "Mr. Xu, I heard that the Jade Emperor's surname is Zhang, and his honorific name is Bai Ren. The immortal also has a surname of Zhang, and dares to be named after the sky. Do you think there is any connection between them?"

"Hiss..."

Even Xu Wen was shocked.

This idea is too bold! It's good to be bold!

Xu Wen said: "When we mortals name a name, we pay attention to not having the word '天' in it for men and '仙' in it for women. We are afraid that it will be too big and cannot be controlled. This is a taboo for heaven and gods."

"Since the immortal master's surname is Zhang and his given name is Tian, ​​maybe there is really a connection."

Zhuo Ping said: "No wonder the immortal has such a high status. He can ask the King of Hell to come forward and the immortals to strike the sky."

Speaking of this, Zhuo Ping thought of the time when the satellite was launched outside Xiangyang City. When he asked the "Jade Emperor", the immortal seemed not very happy.

Could it be that the immortal had a family conflict with the Jade Emperor? So he was demoted to the mortal world to calm down?

After a while of deliberation, the two took out paper and pen to record it as if they had made a major discovery.

Zhang Tian glanced at Xu Wen and said, "If you keep thinking about these messy things, I will throw you into the water and let you swim with the water monster."

Xu Wen hurriedly put down a pen and paper, and said with a "serious" face: "Master, I think the name of water monster does not fit the body of a dragon. Why not take this opportunity to give it a name."

Zhang Tian's attention was successfully diverted. After thinking about it, he felt that calling it a water monster or a dragon was indeed not convenient.

So he said: "Then everyone, what name should we give it? Everyone thinks of one, and I will use his name if I think it is suitable."

Who doesn't want to be able to name a dragon?

Everyone's thoughts turned quickly, searching their stomachs, trying to get Zhang Tian's approval.

Xu Wen said: "Since this dragon was subdued by the immortal master, why don't you give it a name first."

Zhang Tian said: "I see that its tail is broken, so why not call it Broken Tail."

Everyone's face was dark.

The Immortal (Master) is too careless. It is a dragon after all, so we should give it some face. Is it appropriate to call it by its scar for the rest of its life?

Tienan said: "Immortal, I have an idea. Since it is a dragon in the Yangtze River, how about calling it Jiang Jiao?"

Zhang Tian nodded: "It is quite appropriate, I will use it as a backup."

Zhuo Ping said: "Immortal, it is said that the dragon is the leader of all scaled insects. How about calling it 'Dragon Scale'?"

"Good, I will use it as a backup."

Xu Wen began to shake his head and said: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas says: The god of Zhongshan is named Zhuyin. Seeing is day, closing is night, blowing is winter, and breathing is summer... Master, why not call it Zhuyin."

After saying this, he looked confident, thinking that this name would definitely be chosen.

At this time, Su'er, who was always well-behaved, also said: "Brother Zhang Tian, ​​I think its four legs are so short, why not call it Short Legs?"

"Hmm..." Zhang Tian nodded repeatedly, "Su'er is still the most appropriate name, let's call it Short Legs from now on."

Xu Wen almost couldn't breathe after hearing this, holding his chest.

I never expected that the name I came up with by quoting classics would be defeated by the name "Short Legs". The immortal master is really too partial.

Zhang Tian waved to the water monster on the river and shouted with Su'er: "Short Legs, Short Legs, come here."The water monster swam over, and Zhang Tian asked Su'er to throw a piece of meat, saying: "From now on, you will be called Little Short Legs. Remember to come here when I call your name, okay?"

The water monster seemed to understand, and associated these pronunciations with eating.

Anyway, it didn't dare not come when it saw Zhang Tian waving.

If it was out of sight, it would know that it was called by these familiar pronunciations.

Zhuo Ping didn't care when he saw that his name was not selected, and said to Xu Wen: "Mr. Xu, I drew a few pictures when the immortal captured the dragon just now."

"I feel that there is always something missing. I wonder if Mr. Xu can help me with a few poems?"

Xu Wen heard that this was his strong point, and he immediately became excited: "I am also thinking of writing a poem or article to commemorate the feat of the immortal master. Come on, come on, noble man, let me see."

Zhuo Ping opened the book and turned to a page of paintings.

The painting on it was the scene of Zhang Tian riding a dragon and floating up and down in the river.

In the blank space next to it, a few lines of words were written with charcoal pencil, but then erased. Obviously, Zhuo Ping was not satisfied and felt that he could not express his emotions.

Xu Wen pondered for a moment, took Zhuo Ping's charcoal pencil and wrote:

The Yangtze River rolls and the waters are connected to the sky,

The immortals step on the river springs,

Seeing the dragons harming the people, they feel compassion,

A dragon rides out of the river.

Zhuo Ping praised: "Mr. Xu is worthy of being a scholar, his literary thoughts are like springs, and it is much more appropriate than what we write."

Xu Wen took the book and handed it to Zhang Tian: "Master, what do you think?"

Zhang Tian took a look and found that his appreciation level was limited to the ancient poems he memorized when he was studying, and he really couldn't tell the difference between high and low.

But he didn't want to discourage Xu Wen. He had to prepare for the imperial examination with all his strength, so he had to give him some confidence.

So he said: "Not bad. I know every word on it, and it's fluent to read. Good poem, good poem!"

"Uh..." Xu Wen was confused.

It was a good thing for the immortal master to praise him, but why couldn't he be happy?

Zhang Tian flipped through the album and found that Zhuo Ping had used several pictures to draw the process of him capturing the water monster, like a comic strip.

Su'er, who was standing by, also watched with great interest and pointed at the pictures and shouted, "Brother Zhang Tian, ​​this is you, this is the short legs..."

After reading it, Zhang Tian said, "Little Zhuozi, I think General Yu Jiangzhou has the heart to defend his country and is very brave. He dared to jump into the water to fight the dragon with just one sword."

"Why don't you draw a picture of him and let the emperor know that there is such a fierce general in Jiangzhou when you go back."

Zhuo Ping nodded and said, "What the immortal said is very true."

When the people around heard that the immortal had personally named him, Yu Jiangzhou might take off.

Zhang Tian's original plan was to go to Poyang Lake for a tour.

Now that he has conquered the "short legs", he naturally cannot go.

Bringing a beast that has eaten countless local people through the streets is like rubbing salt into someone's wound.

They had no choice but to pass by quickly, and when they reached Chizhou by water, they turned to land.

Along the way, "Short Legs" had plenty of meat and a fixed eating schedule, and was visibly gaining weight.

Su'er had nothing to do in the caravan, and the only thing he could do was to help feed "Short Legs".

As a result, Short Legs and Su'er became closer and closer.

At first, Zhang Tian was still very worried and refused to let Su'er get too close.

As Short Legs grew fatter, his personality became more and more docile, and now everyone in the caravan could touch him.

Most wild beasts eat people just to have a full meal, and very few are truly bloodthirsty.

Short Legs, who eat two meals a day, is much more comfortable than when he was a water monster, and feels like he is enjoying it.

And being able to eat barbecued and cooked meat from time to time is even more eye-opening for him, and it turns out that meat can be so delicious.

Every time when cooking, the little short legs would circle around the stove, which scared the fat chef.

Later, the little short legs allowed Su'er to crawl on it.

When he saw Su'er approaching, he became cautious, for fear of hurting the human cub.

After seeking Zhang Tian's consent, Zhuo Ping thoughtfully made a small cushion and put it on the little short legs like a saddle, so that Su'er could sit on it.
