There are many benefits to Mustard Seed Mountain.
First, the scenery inside is extremely beautiful, with a scene every three steps and a change every seven steps. It is said that it gathers the most beautiful scenery of the three realms.
The spiritual energy in the Second Mustard Seed Mountain is so rich that it cannot be dissolved. It is several times stronger than some of the blessed places in heaven. Every immortal would want to go to such a good place, but it has strict borrowing rules.
First, the renter must be of a very high official rank. Second, it can only be rented for one day each time. The rent is very high, so high that even the gods in heaven would be shocked. Many, many years ago, when the Queen Mother entertained the Buddha at Lingshan, she used the Mustard Seed Mountain.
But later, no one was willing to be as extravagant as the Queen Mother. After all, ordinary gods had too many things that needed money. Although the scenery of Mustard Seed Mountain was extremely beautiful, it was a bit useless for the gods who could create beautiful scenery through practicing Taoism.
Although there is sufficient spiritual energy, one can only practice in it for one day, which is too short. Even if the spiritual energy in it is sufficient, it is still too short for an immortal who has to retreat for decades or hundreds of years.
This short day is really not enough.
However, if Mustard Seed Mountain is used to entertain guests, people will like it very much. However, which god is so generous as to be willing to rent Mustard Seed Mountain?
Get rid of Wu Gang.
After the news that Wu Gang rented the Mustard Seed Mountain to entertain guests spread, Li Jing, who was originally preparing to give a perfunctory gift, was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and silently doubled the gift he had originally intended to give to Wu Gang at the banquet.
But as soon as the news from Mustard Seed Mountain came out, it was immediately reported that the fairy Chang'e would lead all the palace maids in Guanghan Palace to dance the Moon-Chasing Dance at the banquet that day. Li Jing gasped when he heard the news.
To invite the fairy Chang'e to perform singing and dancing, you need to make an appointment at least one month in advance, and also prepare a fairy weapon that will satisfy her.
However, it only took Wu Gang one or two days from planning the banquet to inviting Chang'e. Even in such a short time, he was able to convince the fairy Chang'e to dance the Moon-Flying Dance, which is the most difficult of all the songs and dances.
This, this may not be something that even two magical weapons can handle.
Even though Wu Gang has a good relationship with the fairy Chang'e, the Moon-Flying Dance has to take several hours to perform, and all the palace maids in Guanghan Palace have to take part. This is a very grand and difficult performance, considering the scale of Wu Gang's banquet for guests.
It’s even more than the banquet hosted by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother!
"No, I have to open the storeroom and carefully select some gifts. I can't be shameless. Wu Gang is my friend. I can't let others laugh at me for being stingy..."
Li Jing thought that Wu Gang's standard for hosting them was so high that he had to send more gifts no matter what.
He had no idea that Wu Gang was not worried about entertaining them. He made the banquet so grand because Zhang Fan might come over that day.
The God of Cooking comes out of the mountain to take charge of cooking, the Mustard Seed Mountain serves as the venue for the banquet, Chang'e dances to the moon to add to the fun, and Hundred Flower Wine and Peaches are served. This scene makes many gods in heaven who did not receive the invitation eager to join in!
The scale of Wu Gang's banquet for guests was even more grand and sumptuous than the Queen Mother's Peach Banquet held once every thousand years. Such a good banquet might not come once in a thousand or ten thousand years. If he didn't go, wouldn't it mean that there was no one like him in Heaven?
Qianliyan could not sit still any longer, so he went directly to Wu Gang's residence with gifts, but found that he was not there. The general in the side hall said that he had gone out to look for rare and precious fruits, which made Qianliyan just wave his hand.
"It's okay. I just used my clairvoyance to check. General Wu will be back soon..."
While they were talking, Wu Gang came back. Seeing Qianliyan in front of the gate, he hurried over to say hello and invited the man into the mansion.
The Thousand-Li Eyes didn't beat around the bush. He bowed to Wu Gang and asked if Wu Gang could send him an invitation when he was going to have a dinner party the next day. He was really envious of such a grand occasion!
"I am ashamed. Actually, I also want to invite the gods from all directions to a banquet. I cannot invite them normally. However, the Hundred Flowers Wine bestowed by His Majesty the Jade Emperor is less than ten jars now. And I am not afraid of being laughed at by the gods. This general has just taken office. This, this... But if fellow Taoists do not mind that there is no good wine to entertain, I would be happy to invite everyone to join in the fun..."
Wu Gang bowed to Qianliyan. His status was higher than Qianliyan's, but his frank words moved Qianliyan so much that he hurriedly returned the greeting while smiling.
"I'll come for fun tomorrow. I really want to see the Mustard Seed Mountain. General, don't worry about the drinks and other things. We have our own arrangements. As long as the general doesn't blame us for being abrupt..."
"No, no, we are both ministers of the same palace. It is an honor for me to have you here!"
Wu Gang politely sent Qianliyan away. He guessed that there would be some people who did not receive the invitation but came uninvited tomorrow. Although he did not have much Baihua wine at home, he still had the osmanthus wine sent by Chang'e.
When Fairy Chang'e heard that the Lord Zhang Fan was coming tomorrow, she generously gave out a hundred jars of osmanthus wine, thinking that it would be enough even if there were more guests.
It is said that this time Chang'e not only gave out a hundred jars of osmanthus wine, but also led all the palace maids in Guanghan Palace to dance the Moon-Running Dance, but she did not accept any fairy weapon. She also said that she only hoped that the master would say a few good words for her in front of her.
A few nice words in front of the master are worth two magical artifacts.
After Qianliyan returned, he quickly told Shunfenger, and Shunfenger talked to the giant spirit and others, and then to Taishang Laojun, the twenty-eight constellations, the Three Officials, the Four Valued Merits, etc.
Soon even the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother talked about the scale and level of Wu Gang's banquet. Naturally, the Jade Emperor was not invited to this banquet, but the Jade Emperor did not expect that the scale and level of Wu Gang's banquet would be so high.
He felt a little unhappy, so when Wu Gang was standing by, he called him up to ask him some questions.
He originally wanted to give Wu Gang a beating, but he never expected Wu Gang to kneel on the ground and apologize to him.
"Your Highness, I was originally planning to invite my colleagues to the banquet, but I didn't expect that my lifesaver and elder would be free and might come to attend the banquet. Wu Gang's life was given by this benefactor, and one should not forget his roots. I am already a general in front of the palace. Although I am afraid that I will have to spend all my money to host this banquet, I have no regrets. I just have a conscience and I must repay the favor..."
The Jade Emperor originally wanted to criticize Wu Gang for the high level of the banquet, but when he heard Wu Gang talk about conscience and repaying favors, his heart was moved.
The reason why he values Wu Gang so much is because Wu Gang has a conscience and will repay a favor, right?
If he can treat his favor like this, then it means that the greater the favor he shows to him, the more he will try his best to repay it. Think about it, there are many ministers around him, but not many of them can be truly used by him.
Even his own grandson, Erlang Shen, is a person who only obeys orders and not instructions!
When he thought of this, the Jade Emperor's heart moved!
