Swinging on a caged swing, a love tribulation descends from heaven.
When the matchmaker arrived, I had already unlocked half of the binding cloud lock.
My legs feel much lighter now, and I'm ready to take off running at any moment, but I need to keep up the act.
Clouds loosely entwined my lower body, while the freedom of my upper body was gradually being realized in my mind.
The two old men were not to be trifled with; they showed Xie Jinhui the kindness of not binding him.
But he was still determined to get rid of me, so he slammed me and him together into a circle of light prison inside the celestial shield.
They looked smugly at the two listless birds in the cage, each stroking their long whiskers and wiping their hands back and forth.
What are you wiping for? You're full of bad intentions, no matter how white your beard is, you can't wipe it clean.
Birds of a feather flock together, a toad and its rotten lotus leaves from a stinking ditch.
snort!
Accompanied by intermittent drumbeats, a small crack appeared at the farthest point from Xie Jinhui and me in the fairy shield.
The master's eyes darted around, afraid that someone might be quick-witted enough to break free of the cage and cause trouble during his spellcasting.
He was overthinking it; not only was the cage carefully designed, but even the door opening in the fairy enclosure was cleverly narrow.
The matchmaker was short and had a big belly. As soon as the front half of his body squeezed in, he got stuck.
Fortunately, the impatient God Muheng acted quickly, scooping up the fragments of the marriage scroll and snatching the Qiankun bag full of red threads from his master's waist.
He dashed over and dragged the matchmaker inside.
It turned out that the person who came wasn't just big-bellied, but was carrying a huge pile of bundles, gourds, and Qiankun bags...
There's no good medicine in a gourd.
Xie Jinhui, who was sitting next to me, made sarcastic remarks, but then cheerfully gave our swing a push.
A swing?
This was Xie Jinhui's sudden and well-reasoned idea.
Look, there's a cage, and there are canaries (the two of us).
Without a swaying swing, the homeowner's wit and elegance wouldn't be apparent.
The swing chair we're sitting on, which seems simple, is spacious and has a backrest.
Besides being comfortable, it also perfectly concealed my hand gestures as I fiddled with the unlock mechanism from behind.
In addition, we continued to dawdle, and the two old men got dizzy and their eyes became blurry after watching for a while.
Even as my subtle movements gradually become more pronounced, they still can't tell.
I noticed the new developments over there and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The matchmaker would rather give up her body than give up her possessions.
He used his magical power to wrap around the thing he was tightly hugging in front of him, ignoring his bottom, and he really did slam down hard on the ground.
Lord Muheng used brute force to pull up the little old man with a long beard tied with red thread, whose whole body jingled, ignoring the matchmaker's groans of pain.
She shoved the marriage certificate, which was the key to their relationship, into his hands.
"Old man of fate, hurry up and fix it."
As he spoke, Lord Muheng took the gourd from the Fairy of Marriage and suddenly turned to look at me!
Just then, as I came up with a solution in my mind, I was suddenly startled and gave myself away.
I actually reached out and grabbed Xie Jinhui's sleeve!
fortunately……
Immediately, I shrank back.
Fortunately, Xie Jinhui had the foresight to move closer to me.
Fortunately, the swing was raised at the right moment.
Fortunately, Lord Muheng's focus was still on repairing the marriage certificate. He turned his head and feigned a move that was extremely effective, but it was all for naught.
After closing the Immortal Shield Formation, Master also went to meet them.
Then the matchmaker fairy cried out, "This...this...it's rotten like this, how can this old man..."
He must have encountered a problem and was looking for help everywhere. Sure enough, his eyes glanced in our direction, and then suddenly widened as he froze.
"What do you mean?" The old man unconsciously continued the last two syllables.
The matchmaker fairy showed a shocked and excited expression.
"No matter how bad it is, you have to fix it no matter how hard you try."
The pressure on Lord Muheng was too great, so he directly added pressure to his colleagues, and the sound was comparable to a thunderclap.
Unexpectedly, the matchmaker suddenly abandoned his post, throwing the fragments of the marriage certificate and the Qiankun bag containing the red thread onto the ground.
He hurriedly rummaged through the bags and pouches he carried with him.
"Where is it? Where is it? Where is it?" the matchmaker muttered, flipping through the pages anxiously but excitedly.
Lord Muheng jumped up in anger.
"So you're just here to cause trouble, you matchmaker? I'll make sure you're crippled."
"Wait!" Master stopped Mu Heng, the Divine Lord. "Since becoming an immortal, Yuan Xian has never been clumsy or made any mistakes."
His master didn't let Lord Muheng do anything, which made him sigh with anger.
Before our eyes, the marriage certificate, which had fallen from the hands of the matchmaker, instantly turned into dust.
The red threads inside the Qiankun Bag escaped and swarmed into the owner's little red shoes as she rummaged through her belongings.
"Xie Jinhui, we are no longer engaged." I was thrilled, as if I had survived a great calamity, and believed that good fortune was on the horizon.
"Mm," Xie Jinhui responded softly.
The swing was swaying, and as I looked at his profile, I saw a strange, swaying semicircle in his raised eyes, along with its flickering shadow.
I noticed something was wrong, so I quickly straightened my gaze and looked straight ahead.
"What the hell!"
What appeared before my eyes startled me again.
Outside the light prison, a huge eye was peering through the cage of the immortal power pillars, scrutinizing us with a clicking sound.
Those eyes, with pink irises and familiar bubbles swirling in the azure whites.
When you close your eyes, the bubbles flatten into a line; when you open your eyes, they quickly form a circle.
Her eyes blinked a few times, and the circles inside overlapped, forming a vortex that was sometimes deep and sometimes shallow.
I could feel it; it seemed to suck me in one moment and then spit me out the next.
Xie Jinhui sighed and reminded me to look up.
I broke free from that pulling gaze.
Looking in his direction
A hazy, indistinct mirror-like reflection hovered in the air above.
The mirror has a gilded, openwork frame with a relief carving of intertwined branches.
The mirror surface appears deep and mysterious, with a sea of red rope knots surging and churning amidst the swirling clouds and mist.
I discovered that the opening and closing of that strange eye corresponded precisely to the light and shadow appearing and disappearing in the mirror image.
The true source of this reflection lies in the mirror, a magical artifact held by the Fairy of Marriage, which illuminates the heavens.
The eyes of the matchmaker gazing into the sky shone brightly, and she burst into hearty laughter.
He was so focused that even half a day later, the response he gave was still the same old thing.
"I see it, I see it!" The matchmaker's voice and expression were extremely excited. "What's the point of repairing it? There's no need to repair it."
How could a marriage certificate bear the weight of two gods...?
What? What does it carry?
I didn't seem to realize he was talking about me, and I stared at him with curiosity.
Even though the matchmaker was too excited, she didn't speak rashly and stopped immediately.
Lord Muheng could no longer bear it. He reached out and shook the old man's shoulders repeatedly, as if he wanted to shake out the fortune slip directly from the divination box.
"What, what, what what..."
The master sighed and took away this irritable fellow who appeared devout but was not respectful of the gods.
"Fairy of Marriage, you've gone too far. Please be concise and tell the truth," the master advised, trying to smooth things over.
The matchmaker then withdrew the mirror's magical power.
The pressure from those big eyes was too intense; once they were gone, I felt completely relaxed.
The matchmaker touched his precious mirror, licked his lips, and suppressed the red threads that were excitedly sprouting everywhere on his body.
"My Mirror of Fate was created by an ancient god. It can reveal the depth of the bond between lovers, how much they are compatible, and how many lifetimes they have been destined to be together."
"You mean they're destined to be together?"
But in the celestial realm, even the strongest bonds of fate require a marriage certificate.
Lord Muheng interrupted impatiently.
Xie Jinhui sighed beside me, and the swing stopped.
He suddenly asked me, "Yuan'e, our fate is too strong, what should we do?"
I didn't have time to understand him or respond to him.
The matchmaker started rummaging through things again, shaking his head as he did so, and finally solemnly announced with deep emotion.
The weight of fate is insignificant.
The love between the goddess Yuan'e and Lord Xie is... the first time in my years on duty that I've witnessed such a profound and moving blossoming of love!
!!
Deeply rooted in love? Who planted it, and where?
Huh? Where's my axe? What happened to the four words the matchmaker fairy just said? Should I chop them up?
Xie Jinhui just asked me what to do. Yes, yes, he must be even more panicked than me. He's asking for help, right?
I need to appease him first. I, I, I'm brave.
"Um, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, calm down, things will work out in time, there's still a chance... um... the mirror is fake, they've been lying to us all along..."
“Yuan’e, the mirror is real. It’s recorded in ancient books, so it can’t be wrong,” Xie Jinhui said.
I know that from ancient books, it can't be fake...
Xie Jin must be completely distraught; I need to pull myself together.
"Xie Jinhui, now that we have no marriage certificate, we are no longer bound by the heavenly rules and prohibitions, and we have regained our freedom."
As for those four words, don't take them to heart; I've forgotten them too. From now on, you're absolutely free. I won't interfere with what you do or who you love.
Xie Jinhui raised his left hand and gently placed it on my shoulder, looking me over with a playful expression.
What is he doing...?
He was grateful to me; yes, he wasn't so afraid anymore, and he smiled.
"Goddess Yuan'e, rest assured, I will always stand by your side."
The marriage certificate was something we broke together.
Do you believe me?
Xie Jinhui's commitment to this alliance is truly touching.
It seems Xie Jinhui is determined to agree with my idea.
No one would want to let idle old folks play matchmaker.
Although he appeared out of nowhere and his identity is unknown, he is very ambitious, and I like him.
I nodded at him with approval.
"So..." He tilted his head and softened his voice, placing both hands on top of him.
I felt a little uncomfortable, but I really wanted to call him a fun playmate.
But his hand began to tighten, and the atmosphere became a little creepy.
"So that I can always stand by your side," he said.
Was he moving me?
Are you still staring into my eyes?
The subtlety made me wary.
"I will definitely marry you," he said.
!!
What's going on? Even a stone can be scared to death!
I used my divine power instantly to break free from his almost successful embrace.
Why should I pretend anymore? I'll take off the Immortal Binding Cloud Lock, jump off the swing, and run!
Is Xie Jinhui crazy?
"Yuan'e," Xie Jin would call out to me in a mournful voice, "Didn't you say we were free? Didn't you say I was absolutely free to do whatever I wanted and love whomever I wanted?"
I want to love you, okay?
"No, no, no, I don't love you."
I was terrified. I ran and screamed, but the cage stopped me.
Terrified, I turned around.
Seeing Xie Jinhui sitting listlessly and confusedly on the swing without moving, I pressed myself against the pillar of the light prison, my voice trembling.
Xie Jinhui stood up, and I was instantly turned into a thin pancake.
Squeezing and squeezing, but this shabby light prison is impossible to break through.
“Yuanhe is a wonderful goddess, I know I have to keep pursuing her relentlessly, right?”
That's right.
Xie Jinhui spoke, closing in step by step.
I was so scared that I screamed for my master.
"Master, Master, come quickly to break me out of prison! Your precious disciple has encountered a monster! This thing is terrifying!"
I turned around while yelling.
Xie Jinhui planned to charge straight in, while his master was leisurely taking his steps.
We can't count on anyone.
However, a ray of light appeared before my eyes.
That's on the swing...
A lifeline!
I just learned how to use it.
"Binding Immortal Cloud Lock, bind."
I shouted it out.
Then, the Immortal Binding Cloud Lock bound Xie Jinhui and bounced him back to his swing seat, where he sat down.
Now, who cares how pitifully he cries out my name?
My master slowly removed the light prison from me, and I felt like a fishbone stuck in his arms, hiding away.
“Yuan Yu, he’s a wolf’s den, I’m a tiger’s den, and you’re jumping in here?” Master said helplessly.
“Master is right,” I said. “As long as it’s not a wolf’s den, I can jump around.”
Master, I've never seen Xie Jinhui like this before. Look at him just now, just now, he switched sides so many times.
"Oh dear, my head hurts. You didn't scare me like that!"
My master patted my back repeatedly.
"Actually, Little Xie is quite good. Why don't you give him a try?"
"No, no, I won't try!" I shook my head in anguish.
“Master, Yuanhe has a head of stone, and Xie Jinhui’s mind is either full of clouds or fog.”
Once he starts tumbling, I can't keep up.
I felt Lord Muheng float past me. What was he doing?
Should we release Xie Jinhui?
I screamed and grabbed my master as a shield.
They heard hurried footsteps approaching and stopping in front of their master.
“Yuan’e.” It was Xie Jinhui’s voice. He said, “You don’t need to hide.”
I'm not marrying you now; I just want to cling to you.
This is just plain crazy.
Just a moment ago I thought he was cunning, shrewd, and manipulating us.
I peeked out from my master's shoulder.
"I don't like you, and there's no point in bothering you."
"It's hard to say." He lowered his eyes, his expression one of profound wisdom, as if he had just finished thinking things through.
Xie Jinhui looked up and his illness flared up again.
“Yuanhe.” He reached out to grab me.
Lord Muheng was grinning from ear to ear, playing with the cloud lock like a cat's cradle.
I called his name, and he immediately ran over to block my left side.
The matchmaker found something that looked like a lotus flower? Or a trumpet?
Whatever it is, call them over and block the right side.
And so, the four of us started spinning around.
Before long, I was spinning around and feeling dizzy.
There's still an empty seat behind me; the opening is too big.
How about changing the formation?
"Lord Muheng, go behind me. Immortal of Marriage, go behind Lord Muheng."
I quickly made the arrangements, and the old men were very obedient. Soon, our new formation was in place.
Xie Jinhui wasn't in a hurry at all and ran back and forth with us.
He seemed to be having a lot of fun in this fast-paced game.
He was happy, I was unhappy, and then something even more unpleasant happened.
The matchmaker at the end of the line seemed to be blowing air continuously, as if it had finally cleared something.
Then……
I heard the sounds echoing across the vast sky and throughout all realms.
"The 320,000-year calendar of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor".
Qingning Pavilion, the Goddess Yuanhe of the Mountain Garden.
Mo Xu Chenyuan, the Divine Lord Xie Jinhui.
Deeply rooted in love, they made a pact to be together through heaven and earth, with all the ancient gods as their witnesses.
May all people rejoice and share in this divine blessing.
The calm before the storm.
I held my breath.
Because I heard those words.
"Mo Xu Chen Yuan"
Xie Jinhui is from there!
