Immortals and gods, demons and monsters; princes and generals; the Dragon Maiden holding a lamp, the cup filled with the sea.
The wild fox contemplating Zen, the fierce tiger realizing the Da...
Above the heaven, everything is prosperous. The caves and palaces are connected by cloud bridges. They gather and disperse at random, with occasional streams of light gathering. However, it is not as prosperous as the cities in the mortal world with lights and decorations. Only when the guests got closer did they realize that the brightness was not from lanterns or candles.
Those are flowing auspicious clouds, the rays of light plucked from sunrise and sunset, hanging above the palace, stretching and flowing continuously. Only this can be called a grand and beautiful scene, which makes people happy.
The visitor was drawn towards the deeper part of the city by the white clouds and the glow of the sunset. Looking around, he saw the immortals and gods who had only existed in the Taoist canon appear and chat and laugh.
In the distance he saw some strange and auspicious beasts, humming and roaring, but the sounds were not loud, as if they did not dare to make any big noise or quarrel, so they were just for embellishment. He was dumbfounded and in a trance, he stretched out his hand and let the rays of light flow through his hand. The young man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and was one of the younger generations of Dao Sect at that time.
Because of his talent, youth and strength, he learned the method of cultivation and stood out.
He whispered softly: "Is this the glow of the sunset..."
"Okay, don't touch anything. You and I are master and disciple. We had no destiny to come here. It's a coincidence that we can come here. It's the kindness of our old master. Don't talk too much or touch too much. Even though it's a good thing, you have to be careful not to bring disaster upon yourself." His teacher pulled him forward.
As he walked, he introduced softly, "The one with great strength is the Great Spirit God."
"His cultivation is extremely high, and his strength is enough to split mountains and break peaks, split rivers and create waves."
"Those people over there are our Dao Sect's seniors who have practiced for more than a thousand years, but now they are just immortal officials... However, things were different back then. Without that master to open up the Dharma lineage under the Nine Stele, guide the various schools of thought, and spread the methods of cultivation to the world, it would be extremely difficult for their generation to obtain the true Dharma, which was somewhat of a mistake for them."
The old Taoist with gray hair introduced them one by one.
It was obvious that he valued this young disciple of his very much.
He found this little guy in a village.
I was born with a simple mind, and I love to be idle and lazy. I have never cultivated my nature and practiced Taoism, and I have been confused and lost for days and months.
However, this lazy and clumsy young man had extraordinary aptitude and understanding. The Taoist master was deeply moved and after several pointers, he finally made him return to the right path. Now he had the heart and mind to practice cultivation. Later, he had this great opportunity, so he brought him here. Maybe he could eat some fairy fruits, drink some fairy wine, and cleanse his foundation, so that he could have greater fortune in the future.
After introducing the way, the old Taoist found his former master, so he asked him to stay here while he went to pay a visit to the master. The young man was greedy and saw the many spiritual fruits. He took a plate and hid there, eating in small bites. In a short while, he had eaten the whole plate. He felt bloated in his stomach and seemed to be full, but he was very greedy and wanted to continue eating. So he reached out his hand to take more, but when he looked up, he saw someone passing by.
I saw that she had an extremely beautiful face, unparalleled beauty, dressed in white, and wearing a lotus jade crown, she was extremely beautiful.
The young man was stunned. He saw the woman walk to Taiyin Yuanjun to serve. He was stunned and didn't even know that his teacher had returned. The old Taoist reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "What are you looking at?"
The young Taoist said cautiously, "Teacher, look who is that over there."
The old Taoist looked over, but he only saw brilliant light and immortals and gods surrounding him. His face immediately changed and he said, "That is Taiyin Yuanjun, who is currently ranked in the top three of the Eleven Star Lords. He is at the top of the True Lords and has an extremely high status. Did you offend him?"
"Ah? No, not that one."
The young man shook his head repeatedly and just pointed at the female official sitting over there. The ancestor of his own lineage answered: "That one? That one is one of the female officials sitting under Taiyin Yuanjun. She is good at singing, dancing and music. Her name is Fairy Chang'e. She also has the cultivation of a terrestrial immortal. She is a person of great stature and peerlessness."
While these immortals were discussing these things, the young man next to them was secretly taking notes.
"Fairy Chang'e..."
"I don't know how to contact her?"
This whisper was heard by someone, who couldn't help but laugh and said, "Taiyin Yuanjun is the supreme god in the Dou Department. His status is extremely high, his strength is extremely strong, his magical powers are vast, and his mysteries are endless. Her female officials are naturally also from the Dou Department. If you want to get close, if you are not from the Dou Department, you can only be in the Tianhe Navy."
"The generals and marshals in charge of Tianhe often meet each other because they are close to the Dou tribe."
"Tianhe Navy..."
There seemed to be some brilliance in the young man's eyes, while the other young warrior raised his eyes slightly when he heard it. He didn't care much about such things. He just looked at the highest point and said to himself: "Practicing for a woman is really ridiculous."
"If he is a divine general, he must be the most trusted divine general of the Jade Emperor!"
"When they enter, they hold the lamp and roll up the curtains; when they leave, they put on armor and hold the sword."
"Only by carrying out secret missions that are beyond my control can one become a divine general."
"Ridiculous? What did you say?"
"Humph! A real man should have great ambitions, how could he have his eyes set on a woman?"
"That will only slow down the sword in your hand!"
"Huh? Rolling up the curtains and holding the lamp is what a real man does?!"
The young warrior looked at him with disdain and said, "You don't know the deeper meaning of this kind of description."
"You!!!"
The two young men started arguing. They were full of youthful vigor and energy. They were both favored ones in their environment and had never lost before. Naturally, neither of them would admit defeat at this moment. At this age, the slightest anger would make them get carried away and they almost started fighting. However, they also knew that it was impossible to fight at this time, so they just punched each other suddenly, facing each other with their fists, and started to wrestle secretly.
In just a moment, the two of them had used all their strength, their faces flushed, and neither of them gave in.
As long as such things were not made a big deal, the group of immortals actually did not care much about it. Moreover, the two young men seemed to have excellent aptitude and comprehension. However, at this moment, suddenly, their eyes blurred and they were separated. They were startled and saw a young man in white clothes and a jade crown separating the two.
I saw that he was so handsome and unpredictable that he separated the two of them with just one move.
He was immediately startled and asked, "Who are you?"
The young warrior rubbed his wrist and said, "Not bad for your Kung Fu... You are not very old, how many years have you been practicing?"
The silver-armored boy said, "Well, probably."
"Ten months?"
Ten months...
The two teenagers who had just been arguing fell into deathly silence in an instant.
Before the fighting spirit could even rise, he was defeated.
The surrounding immortals were like this as well. They stared at the young general who was still young but already had a handsome aura. Just as they were about to say something, a voice came from the other side, saying, "Yang Jian, what are you still doing here?"
Yang Jian raised his eyes slightly, and the two young geniuses who were all stunned by his move turned their heads to look. They saw a girl wearing a black horse-faced skirt and her black hair tied into a high ponytail walking towards them. She had beautiful eyebrows and two dragon horns on her forehead. She seemed to have a headache and said, "Those two asked me to bring you here. Don't run around."
"Sister Ao..."
Yang Jian turned around and bowed slightly, smiling and said: "You two, today is the wedding day of that great senior, please don't argue here. I was very rude today, and I apologize."
They immediately followed the Dragon Girl, except for the two young men behind them, who could no longer quarrel.
Among them, the young warrior's eyes were blazing: "So strong!"
The young Taoist looked at the Dragon Girl and murmured, "What a beautiful sister."
"Why, why does he know such a beautiful sister?"
The two young men spoke almost at the same time, then paused, looked at each other, snorted coldly, turned around and walked away. The young Taoist sneered, "Since you like practicing so much, just be a monk for the rest of your life!"
The warrior replied: "Same here!"
"snort!"
Two young men passed each other, one was looking at the female official sitting on the seat of Taiyin Yuanjun, who was in a very high position in the Dou Department, while the other one was looking at the Lingxiao Palace, which was ranked the highest in the heavens, in the far distance with his eyes wide open, and there seemed to be a gleam in his eyes.
The passing of these two young men was just a tiny moment. Not far away, Lu Chunyang was drinking with several immortals and gods and they were getting along well. When the Dragon Girl was strolling with Yang Jian, they met the Avalokitesvara of the South China Sea, whom they met when they were young. The Avalokitesvara was a man but looked more beautiful than a woman. The gods of wealth gathered together and decided to work together to create a god of wealth in addition to the battle of thunder, fire, and plague.
At the origin of the legend, the protagonists in the myth had already passed by each other long before the story began, and knew each other. When the immortals were celebrating enthusiastically, suddenly an immortal shouted, "The immortals are so crazy, ...
"The Great Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei in the Central Sky has arrived!!!"
This is the leader of the Four Imperial Gods, the best at killing, and the strongest god of war in heaven during the previous five kalpas.
The group of immortals immediately became solemn.
And in a moment, newer shouts followed.
"The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole has arrived!!!"
So the two young men just now saw that the immortals in heaven were silent, and the immortals and gods whose names the ancestors had just chanted respectfully all stood up and saluted solemnly, while the Jade Emperor Zhang Xiaoyu was in ordinary clothes, blending in with the group of immortals and gods. Otherwise, the group of immortals just now would not have looked so relaxed.
But after the two imperial masters, the immortal who announced the guests from all the immortals and gods was stunned.
As if he couldn't believe the person coming, he shouted loudly, his voice trembling slightly, and said:
"According to the example of the Void Earth Mother, here comes the Queen Mother of the Earth!!!"
"The mother of the human race, Queen Nuwa has arrived!!!"
Immediately, there was an even greater silence than before. The gods and immortals looked at each other in bewilderment. Of course, they all knew that Hou Tu Huang Di Niang Niang had left the Heavenly Palace. Now that Gou Chen was dead and Zhen Wu Great Emperor was getting married, Hou Tu Huang Di Niang Niang Niang came in person. Could this mean...
Does the Queen Mother Hou Tu Huang Di Ji intend to reconcile with the old relationship and return to the heavenly palace?
Under such solemn gaze, Hou Tu Huang Di Ji Niangniang and Wa Huang Niangniang arrived together. Because the meaning behind this matter was too huge, for a moment no immortal or god dared to say anything in such dead silence.
A strange look flashed through Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes. He stood up and said with a smile, "Empress Hou Tu, Empress Di, Empress Wa."
“But he is a rare visitor.”
The surrounding immortals and gods noticed the Jade Emperor and hurriedly saluted. The Jade Emperor naturally restored his original majestic posture and invited the two to sit down with a smile. His attitude was gentle and he did not care about what happened that year. Hou Tu Huang Di Ji sighed and said gently: "Thank you, Jade Emperor."
The smile on Zhang Xiaoyu's lips became more gentle.
The other immortals and gods also realized the significance of this conversation. The atmosphere was more heated and solemn than before. The Four Imperial Gods sat on the top. The Jade Emperor smiled and asked the Queen Mother Nuwa to sit there as well. They chatted for a while in a peaceful atmosphere. The Queen Mother Hou Tu looked over and said, "Today is the wedding."
"Where are the two children?"
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "They are..."
…
The water of the Milky Way flows, rushes and surges endlessly. In the past, one could see the gods riding on clouds or lights passing by here. But it is not the case now. It is so quiet today. It is rare to see such a peaceful place above the Milky Way.
The girl in a red and gold wedding dress sat cross-legged with a sword in her hand, looking at the sky in the distance.
“It’s incredible.”
She smiled and said softly, "When we first met, I didn't expect what would happen now."
Qi Wuhuo stood behind her, looking at the sky. The girl looked at the sky and suddenly shouted a few times, then patted her cheeks lightly, exhaled, stood up, with a calm face after tense, but she didn't dare to look at the Taoist over there, and said: "Okay, let's go."
"If you don't go now, you'll have to keep everyone waiting for too long, Wuhuo."
"But I really don't like this dress."
She tugged at her intricate and beautiful wedding dress, her face showing displeasure, and said, "It's too tight, too... too ladylike. It feels awkward to use my magical powers, and it's uncomfortable to swing my sword."
"Then don't wear it."
The girl smiled brightly:
"Hmm? Okay!"
Just as the gods and immortals were looking for Zhenwu, someone shouted, "The Great Emperor Zhenwu is here!!"
All the gods and immortals raised their eyes to look, and indeed saw the Great Emperor Zhenwu and the Demon Emperor, but they were stunned to find that the Zhenwu couple were not wearing wedding attire. The Great Emperor Zhenwu was still only wearing a long robe with wide sleeves and black patterns, and his ordinary clothes inside. He had his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin and had a peaceful look. Next to him was the Son of the Northern Emperor, wearing a jade crown, with his brows raised, looking cold and peerless, with his sleeves rolled up, and his white clothes as white as snow. He came on the moon, and each of them had a sword at his waist, which was not ordinary.
Everyone was silent. Some old scholars even thought that this was unlucky.
But the person in front of him was Zhenwu Da Daojun.
And now the heaven.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu represents order and rules.
The guests thought that such a lively atmosphere would be like a wedding in the human world, but at this moment, the Great Emperor Zhenwu raised his glass and said, "Thank you all for coming here to congratulate me." The lively environment suddenly became quiet, and all the immortals subconsciously bowed and said, "Congratulations to the Emperor."
The Great Emperor Zhenwu drank a glass of wine, then extended his hand to invite him, saying in a gentle tone:
"Everyone, just do your own thing."
"yes--"
The few young men who had come earlier were all shocked when they sensed the solemnity and respect changing around them.
The son of Beidi went to look for his good friend with a sword in hand, while the Taoist climbed up to the heaven step by step to talk with the Jade Emperor, Hou Tuhuang, Diji Niangniang, Wahuang Niangniang and others, without sticking to the usual wedding rules. On that day, there was great joy in heaven and the celebration lasted for several days, and in the world, there was good weather and good harvests.
After several days, the gods and immortals finally had their fill, and stumbling, they went to another place to continue their conversation. In the Zhenwu Palace, all the gods and immortals from the four divisions were driven out by the Great Spiritual Officer of the Capital Heaven, so only two people were left in the huge Zhenwu Palace.
"Go, go, go, everyone!"
"What are you doing here?"
Wang Lingguan shouted for all the immortals to retreat, then turned around and kicked, directly opening the formation of the entire Zhenwu Mansion. The bed in the main room was lit up, red candles were dim, and the Taoist and the girl looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say. It was extremely quiet for a while.
The girl recalled what her mother had said, her face flushed, she raised her hand to her lips and coughed: "We, we should... or, huh?"
She blinked and blurted out, "Would you like some sesame cakes?"
They both froze in silence, then burst out laughing.
A simple joke, but it invisibly interrupted the previous tension. The atmosphere between the two of them calmed down. The girl stretched out her finger and gently pulled the Taoist's finger. Her face was flushed, her eyes were moving, and she had a charming feeling that she had never had before. She whispered: "Wuhuo..."
"Well, no..."
She raised her eyes slightly, with a smile in her eyes, and said softly:
"Husband."
He stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the Taoist's palm. Two fingers stood up like little people, jumping lightly on the back of the Taoist's hand, jumping lightly all the way, and finally touching his heart. This simple action made the Taoist's heart beat faster. Qi Wuhuo swept his sleeves, and the magic weapon he had asked Zhang Xiaoyu for in advance burst out with power, turning into a flag that soared into the sky.
Somewhere out there—
Fuxi dog is approaching stealthily.
How can there be no noise in the bridal chamber? How is it possible?
I would pass up such a good opportunity to tease you?! I might?
impossible!
Before he got close, his eyes went dark, the sky and the earth darkened, and he opened his eyes wide and saw that there were already layers of formations above the Zhenwu Mansion. However, outside the formations, an ink-colored flag was unfolded, so majestic that it directly covered the sky where the Zhenwu Mansion was located.
Fuxi's eyes widened: "...The Heaven-Covering Flag?!"
Fuxi looked at the layers of defense in front of him and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Qi Wuhuo."
“You are so cruel!”
There was red candlelight in the room.
Qi Wuhuo exhaled slightly, and gently placed his hands on the girl's slender waist. He untied the jade belt and let it fall to the ground with a crisp sound. The layers of white clothes spread out. The Taoist picked up the girl by the waist, as if she were holding a treasure, and gently placed her on the bed. When her clothes fell off, her skin was as white as frost and snow.
Two long swords lay on the table, crossing each other calmly.
Layers of curtains fell over the bed.
On the bed, their hair was entangled with each other, and their skin was intimate with each other when they breathed.
They knew each other when they were young, and were childhood sweethearts. They were full of vigor and vitality, and all ended up in the red candlelight tent.
The wedding night.
