Chapter 234: The coronation ceremony waits until the Emperor takes the throne...
When the day comes that the Emperor of Heaven takes the throne, any mortal who looks up at the sky will find it covered with red clouds.
There was a drizzle in the morning, afternoon and evening, and all the illnesses of those who were caught in the rain disappeared.
This effect is gradually revealed. Depending on the severity of the disease, it takes seven to fifteen days to experience the effect.
Therefore, whether or not one can be showered by the spiritual rain is a random event that depends heavily on one's fortune.
If one has enough good fortune, even if he stays indoors all the time, he will come out for one reason or another when it is about to rain; if one lacks good fortune, even if he stays outside all the time, he will go to a place where he can take shelter from the rain just before it starts.
The former will sigh that he is unlucky, while the latter will be thankful that he is lucky.
Luck is something that is hard to predict. Who can be sure whether their luck is good or bad until the very last moment?
On that day, the four gates of heaven in the east, west, south and north opened simultaneously. Not only did immortals from all directions gather there, but even Jiang Ziya, who was on business in Shu, rushed back exhausted and brought good news to Fu Li.
——All those people sent by Haotian before have been sent into reincarnation.
Jiang Ziya was still compassionate after all, and gave those people a chance to reincarnate.
Fu Li praised him highly in front of everyone, also to let the immortals from all sides see that Jiang Shang, the eldest disciple, was very favored by the Emperor of Heaven, and they should not neglect him when they meet him in the future.
Jiang Ziya understood the meaning of the string music and acted with utmost graciousness. He exchanged pleasantries with the immortals with ease, then, at the right moment, withdrew to join the disciples of the three religions, standing alongside Shen Gongbao, never stealing the spotlight from his master.
"Why did you take so long?" Shen Gongbao asked him in a low voice.
Jiang Ziya also whispered: "The heavenly rules set by the teacher himself do not allow immortals to disrupt the rules of the mortal world, so of course I can't make a big fuss.
Those people, knowing they were doomed, gave up and started causing trouble everywhere in Shu. Just trying to appease the people took up a lot of my energy."
While dealing with those people in Shu, Jiang Ziya was driven to the point of rage countless times. If it weren't for his good self-control and understanding of the difficulty of spiritual practice, he would have immediately destroyed them with swift and violent means.
For example, Shen Gongbao was so angry that he stamped his feet just by listening to Jiang Ziya's retelling, and Jiang Shang had to comfort him.
It took Shen Gongbao a while to calm down, and he sighed, "I will never be able to match your self-restraint in my entire life!"
Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "I have my strengths, and you have yours. Although we are uncle and nephew in name, we are brothers in our relationship. We complement each other."
At this moment, someone walked up to the two of them, cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "You two are so loyal and affectionate. I admire you two!"
The two looked over in confusion and returned the greeting with a bow. Shen Gongbao asked, "Which immortal family are you from?"
Jiang Ziya guessed where she came from because of her self-proclaimed name and said with a faint smile, "Could it be that it is the Prime Minister of Qin, Lü Buwei, who is here in person?"
Lü Buwei exclaimed in surprise, then flattered, "Grandpa, do you know me?"
Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "While my master was going through tribulations in the mortal world, he asked Senior Brother Wukong to bring back a person who was a talent that my master valued. After entering the immortal world, that person has been cultivating in Penglai. I didn't expect that in just a few years, Lu Xiang has achieved immortality. Congratulations, congratulations."
Lü Buwei was so excited that he was at a loss for words. He hurriedly bowed and said, "I am Lü Buwei, the humble student, and I pay my respects to the Grand Duke!"
Among all the officials in the court, who does not yearn for Yi Yin of Shang and Jiang Shang of Zhou?
Lu Buwei was no exception.
When Fu Li introduced Jiang Ziya to everyone earlier, Lü Buwei had been paying attention, watching his every move. He waited until a break between Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao, and then found the right time to come and pay him a visit.
Unexpectedly, his idol not only recognized him immediately, but also praised him highly. Who wouldn't be excited?
"Please stand up quickly, Prime Minister Lu." Jiang Ziya stretched out his hand and helped him up.
Lü Buwei rose to his feet and said humbly, "How could I be so arrogant in your presence?" He then looked at Shen Gongbao and said, "I suppose this is Prime Minister Shen Gong? If you two don't mind, you can just call me Buwei."
He was a talent that Fu Li had high hopes for, so both Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao would give him face, and they immediately changed their titles with a smile.
Lü Buwei was well versed in rituals and music, and while he was talking to Jiang Ziya, he was always listening to the music in the hall. When it was time to pay homage to the Emperor of Heaven, he immediately said goodbye to the two and stood in his proper place.
Shen Gongbao nodded slightly: "He is indeed a talent."
Jiang Ziya said, "It's time to pay homage. Stand up quickly."
The two men quickly collected their expressions, returned to their seats, and bowed with everyone else according to the usher's instructions.
"kneel--"
"bye--"
"Bye again—"
"Three bows—"
"rise--"
"kneel--"
“…………”
If you do this again and again, it will amount to three bows and nine kowtows.
Purple air rose from the soles of the feet of all the immortals, and countless golden dragons, black dragons, white dragons, blue dragons, as well as blue phoenixes, fire phoenixes, colorful phoenixes, and golden phoenixes flew out from the carved beams, lacquer pillars, screens, and even the nine dragons and nine phoenixes where Fu Li was sitting, circling and dancing in the air for a full hour before returning to their respective places.
All the immortals present at the meeting suddenly realized: it turns out that the dragons and phoenixes decorating the entire Lingxiao Palace are not fake patterns, but real dragons and phoenixes live on them.
This Great Emperor of the Nine Heavens Great Sect, who subdues demons, is truly a man of great generosity!
After the worship ceremony, the immortals went to Tongming Hall for a banquet.
The Tongming Hall was tall and spacious, with its own internal spatial formation, easily accommodating millions of immortals. In the center, there was a specially constructed dance floor with a formation installed to adjust the environment as needed.
After the fairies took their seats, the fairy maidens and fairy officials presented them with nectar, fine wine, peaches, fresh fruits and four-color cakes.
Because the emperor and empress are going to get married tomorrow, Nezha avoided them today, thus saving the immortals from the embarrassment of not being able to define his identity.
The Queen Mother of the West led all the female fairies to toast Fu Li first, and the King of the East followed behind and led all the male fairies to toast the Emperor of Heaven with fine wine.
Fu Li drank out of courtesy and stood up to toast the immortals, who all raised their glasses in response.
Then it's time to enjoy the singing and dancing.
First, the White Crane Fairy of the Phoenix Clan presented the "Dance of the Spirit Crane", and then the Dragon Clan, not to be outdone, sent two Snake Fairies to present the "Dance of the Spirit Snake".
The overseas immortals performed the "Sword Dance", and the demons invited by Wukong also performed the "Fox Dance".
What was most surprising to Fu Li was that Lingshan had also prepared the "Demon Dance".
After the dances presented by various parties were finished, the "Rainbow Dance" prepared by the Heavenly Court was the finale. As the previous dances were more exciting than the last, the pressure on Yuhuan Fairy, who was the lead dancer of the Heavenly Court, increased suddenly.
Fortunately, this "Rainbow Dance" was compiled by her personally, and every movement and every detail has been carefully polished by her. The pressure will only turn into motivation and will not make her panic.
Although "Rainbow Dance" cannot be said to be the best among all the other performances, it is still outstanding enough to earn enough face for the Heavenly Court.
In between enjoying the singing and dancing, various delicacies were sent from the Temple of the God of Food. They were all newly developed dishes. Except for Fuli and Nezha, who got in through the backdoor, even the gods on duty in Heaven were eating them for the first time.
When the delicious food arrived, everyone became a little distracted from enjoying the singing and dancing.
Just as Fu Li had said, every time there were six dishes on each table, they would be gone in less than half an hour. Some people liked to eat leftovers, even the onions and garlic used as garnish.
The formal banquet consisted of thirty-six dishes, served in six rounds. After the dishes were cleared away, fruits, cakes, and snacks were served.
When preparing dishes for banquets at the Food God Temple, the main focus is on their color, aroma, and taste, not on how much spiritual energy one can absorb after eating.
Therefore, even if there is one person per table and each person has thirty-six dishes, the scarce spiritual energy will not cause indigestion among these gods.
On the contrary, the sweet, rich and delicious taste left them wanting more.
Fortunately, the wedding of the Emperor and Empress is the next day. The God of Cookery is the master of the Great Heavenly Venerable. How can he not show his true skills at the wedding of his own disciple?
I’m afraid the food at tomorrow’s wedding will be even better than today’s.
With such expectations, the immortals left one after another under the organization of the Heavenly Court and were placed on the sixth, eleventh and seventeenth days respectively.
Each of the thirty-three heavens in the heavens is equivalent to a small world. The sixth, eleventh, and seventeenth heavens, used to accommodate guests, are all used to cultivate common spiritual herbs and edible animals. The environment is very beautiful and there is no special production, so there is no need to worry about attracting anyone's covetousness.
Fu Li didn't want to hold a banquet and attract a group of thieves to steal treasures from the Heavenly Palace.
The Lingxiao Palace is on the eighteenth heaven. There are teleportation arrays leading to each heaven. There are nine small teleportation arrays and three large teleportation arrays.
In Fu Li's view, these teleportation arrays are like elevators. Small teleportation arrays have a small passenger capacity, while large teleportation arrays have a large passenger capacity and can carry 10,000 people at a time.
Those of noble status, such as the second-generation disciples of the three religions, the Western Tathagata and several Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the Emperor of the Underworld, the Judge, the King of Yin, the General of Yin and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, etc.
These people naturally cannot be allowed to squeeze into the big elevator... The big teleportation array uses a small teleportation array that can only carry five people at a time.
In fact, the limit of the small teleportation array is far more than five people, but Fu Li set the passenger capacity to five people, and not one more person is allowed.
Now that Fu Li was the Emperor of Heaven and the nominal ruler of the Three Realms, she didn't need to personally escort any distinguished guest. When the banquet was about to end, she went straight back to the back hall.
After changing her clothes and washing up, she did not stay in the back hall of Lingxiao Palace, but went to Zichen Palace.
Nezha is still there.
But when he reached the door, he was stopped by someone.
Jin Zha laughed and said, "Great Celestial Venerable, you can't enter here. You're getting married tomorrow, so it's inappropriate for you and Nezha to meet tonight."
Fu Li was stunned: "Who made this rule?" There was no such rule in Heaven before.
Jin Zha chuckled and said, "This is a new thing in the mortal world. It is said that it is unlucky for unmarried couples to meet each other before marriage."
Fu Li: “…………”
——This is Fuli who wants to complain but doesn’t know where to start.
She could only ask: "Does Nezha know that you are like this?"
"Of course I know." Jin Zha pointed inside, "Mu Zha is inside."
Upon hearing this, Fu Li's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she said very easily: "Then I will return to the Pixiang Palace first."
It's just a bit loud.
