Chapter 29: Contract Ceremony◇
◎Heaven's Warning◎
Kong Shuang's attitude towards discussing things was like that of a fight. He placed a jade slip in Chang Xi's hand and said, "This is a secret letter I wrote to Zhen Yuanzi. Please help me deliver it if you have time."
Garuda was sitting with Kunpeng, watching his teacher and future colleagues discussing Taoism with boredom. His cultivation was low. What kind of occasion was this? Was it for you to come here to practice?
He looked at the bird whose corpse he had just successfully beheaded. Well, it was really used for cultivation.
Kong Shuang called him over, handed him another jade slip, and instructed:
"Your sister is going somewhere and probably won't be back for tens of thousands of years. Now that you're with Kunpeng, you're in great danger. I can't protect you myself. This jade slip is a token I left for you. If you encounter any danger, take it to the Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain to seek out the immortals Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun. They will help you."
Garuda wanted to bite his lower lip, put his hands behind his back, and said awkwardly with a conflicted look on his face, "I don't want it."
Kong Shuang frowned and placed it firmly in his hand: "You think I care about you so much, it's just because you are my responsibility, otherwise who would help you."
Garuda glared at her, and Kong Shuang was not willing to be outdone.
After a while, Jialuo accepted it with hesitation. His cold expression suddenly softened. He bowed his head to Kong Shuang and said, "Thank you for helping me."
Kong Shuang was startled and waved his hand: "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng is also a great power in the prehistoric world. I can't bear to see him lose his talent and die. If it weren't for you, go!"
Garuda clenched his fingers hidden in his sleeves, looked at Kong Shuang deeply, and said stiffly: "I am also thanking you on behalf of the teacher."
Then he turned and left.
After watching the awkward siblings, Chang Xi spoke with interest: "I haven't heard you mention Garuda before. I thought you didn't like him, but I never thought it would be like this."
Kong Shuang sighed, then pleaded, "Garuda will live in heaven with Kunpeng from now on, so please take good care of him for me."
Chang Xi was touched for a moment and replied, "That's natural."
Most of the brothers and sisters in the ancient times had good relationships, such as the Sanqing brothers, the Jinwu brothers, and the two in the West, who were all famous for their good relationships. She and her sister Xihe had never been separated since they were born, but this was the first time she had seen people like Kong Shuang and Garuda.
After explaining these things to Chang Xi, Kong Shuang went to find Bai Ze again. She wanted to tell Bai Ze about Sibu Xiang before going to the West.
Bai Ze is now a vassal of the Heavenly Court and one of the ten demon generals. He holds a very high position. Seeing Kong Shuang attending the banquet, he couldn't wait to ask about the progress of the matter.
Kong Shuang simply told Sibu Xiang the whole story about how he was so happy with Yuanshi that he didn't want to leave. He wanted him to join him in condemning Sibu Xiang for not being a good young master and choosing to be Yuanshi's mount.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ze's eyes lit up. Ever since the first calamity between the dragon and the phoenix, the Qilin clan had retreated into the earth, claiming that they could not leave unless there was an auspicious sign. In order to find a new way out for the Qilin clan, he joined the Heavenly Court.
Yuanshi is the future saint, and it may not be a bad thing for Sibuxiang to become Yuanshi's disciple.
Kong Shuang felt that there was no way to communicate with him, so he could only leave in anger.
Seeing her come back, Chang Xi hurriedly asked her to sit down, as the ceremony of the covenant between Di Jun and Xihe was about to begin.
As the first wedding in the prehistoric times, this marriage hall was undoubtedly very large and eye-catching. At this time, the heavenly court had been newly decorated, and even a long red carpet was laid out at some point, and it was sprinkled with flower petals.
Kong Shuang looked around and found it quite romantic. She whispered to Chang Xi, "Who came up with these arrangements?"
Chang Xi curled his lips and replied disdainfully: "Who else could it be except the Demon King?"
Kong Shuang wanted to give a thumbs up to Di Jun, but she didn't expect that Di Jun was quite capable. It really made her look at him with new eyes. He could talk and flirt with his girlfriend. If he wasn't the Demon King, who would be?
As they were talking, Xihe finally made her grand appearance in the spotlight. She was slowly helped in by her maid. All the flower and butterfly demons transformed into their original forms and circled around Xihe, as if they had their own light. Xihe was wearing a golden fairy dress that was exactly the same as Di Jun's, which immediately attracted all the attention.
Kong Shuang looked at the couple's outfit on Xihe, and then at Di Jun's mouth which was almost grinning from ear to ear, as if he could feel their joy.
She wanted to be happy for them, but something felt like it was pressing so hard against her chest that it hurt.
When Xihe's figure appeared in the hall, Di Jun ran to Xihe's side almost instantly, and then took her hand and walked into the hall step by step.
At this moment, all the monsters gathered in the palace. Every time they arrived at a place, a monster would say, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Queen of Heaven."
When they reached the middle of the procession, a ceremonial officer began to sing the ceremony. In the ancient times, it was not popular to worship the heaven, the earth, and parents. Moreover, this was the first wedding in the ancient times and there was no precedent to follow. They chose to worship the great god Pangu.
After paying homage to Pangu, Nuwa stood up and threw the red ball in her hand. The Heavenly Dao then bestowed merits. Eighty percent of the merits fell on Di Jun and Xihe, one percent fell on Nuwa, and the remaining ten percent fell on the people watching the ceremony.
Kong Shuang also got a little bit of it, and it turned out that this was the taste of merit.
The moment the merit fell upon her, Nuwa's actions paused for a moment, and she suddenly thought that merit could not be so difficult to obtain.
Taiyi's eyes moved, and he couldn't help but look at Kong Shuang. If only he could have discovered his feelings for fellow Daoist Kong Shuang earlier, then he could have held a covenant ceremony with his brother.
The person who was most happy about the merit bestowed by Heaven was Di Jun. The willingness of Heaven to bestow merit just represented that his approach of establishing the Heavenly Court was correct. That was why Heaven was willing to give him this face.
The Taoist couple has become married. Although Di Jun is very anxious to enter the bridal chamber, he is also very ambitious. All the guests present are people he needs to make friends with or build good relationships with, so Di Jun and Xihe toast each of them one by one.
The wine is naturally not a simple wine, but is brewed from the Zhu fruit, a specialty of the Heavenly Court. Although the Zhu fruit is not one of the ten innate spiritual roots, it is also a very rare spiritual root.
The foodie Kong Shuang took a bite and thought to himself that it was a pity that Hong Yun didn’t come. Di Jun really spent a lot of money this time.
Di Jun toasted from the lowest to the highest, and finally mentioned Kong Shuang. Kong Shuang was a guest coming from afar, so he prepared a gift, which was the ginseng fruit brought from Wuzhuang Temple. Although the ginseng fruit was a snack for Hongyun, it was a top treasure for outsiders.
Di Jun happily accepted it and told Taiyi to entertain Kong Shuang well on his behalf.
Looking at Taiyi's shy eyes, Kong Shuang said: That's not necessary.
Next was Nuwa Chang Xi. For the first time, Chang Xi showed a good face to her brother-in-law, which surprised Di Jun.
After Di Jun and Xihe left, Chang Xi drank a glass of wine by herself, her eyes moist as she looked at Kong Shuang, as if she was saying to her, or to herself: "From now on, I will be the only one left on Taiyin Star."
Kong Shuang felt a little sad. She had known Chang Xi for many years and knew that Chang Xi and Xihe had a deep relationship. When Xihe left, Chang Xi was the one who was most sad.
Looking at the lost Chang Xi and then at Xihe with a happy face, her heart sank. She wondered how sad Chang Xi would be in the future when she knew that her little nephews were shot to death one by one by Houyi.
Nuwa left the table, leaving only the two of them. Chang Xi drank alone, no one paying attention to them. Kong Shuang gritted his teeth, steeled his courage, and whispered to Chang Xi, whose consciousness was already somewhat confused:
"If one day Sister Xihe gives birth to children, you must protect them every step of the way."
As soon as she finished speaking, several thunderclaps suddenly struck the sky, one of which almost hit her head. The sound was very loud, but no one seemed to notice it. Kong Shuang broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that this was a warning from heaven.
She raised her eyes in fear and saw Tongtian staring at her without blinking. His eyes were not as gentle and calm as usual, but full of sharpness.
"What did you say?" The drunk Chang Xi raised his head and asked, "I didn't hear what you said?"
Kong Shuang lowered his eyes, twisted his sleeves lightly with his fingers, and cast a sleep spell on Chang Xi: "Nothing, go to sleep."
Chang Xi felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and finally he could not resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that Lightbulb was drunk, Taiyi was finally able to talk to Kong Shuang alone. He also wanted to apologize for Tongtian.
Looking at the figure with a warm and friendly smile but also a hint of nervousness, Kong Shuang's right eyelid twitched inexplicably, and an ominous feeling arose in his heart.
She hurried over to greet him, her laughter sweet and moving: "Fellow Taoist Taiyi, I have something I want to ask you."
This was the first time that Daoist Kong Shuang was so enthusiastic towards her. Taiyi was stunned for a moment, and felt that her spring was coming. At this moment, let alone asking her for advice, even if he told her the secrets of Heaven, it would be a big deal.
He lowered his voice, trying not to be so excited, and said in surprise, "What's the matter? Please tell me, fellow Daoist."
Kong Shuang's smile became more and more beautiful. She decided to take the initiative and said, "I heard that Taoist Taiyi and Taoist Tongtian are very close friends. I wonder if Taoist Taiyi could tell me Taoist Tongtian's preferences?"
Donghuang Taiyi——Dead!
Taiyi's smile froze on his face, and it took him a while to react. He felt bitter in his heart. He was still angry about Tongtian coveting Kong Shuang's feathers, but Kong Shuang excitedly asked him about Tongtian. He was angry for nothing!
Taiyi is an honest man. Although he is a little angry, he still feels that he should answer Kong Shuang's question. After all, he has already agreed.
As for Tongtian's preferences, Tai paused, and fell into a dilemma. He naturally knew Tongtian's preferences, but he didn't want to say it out loud. After a long silence, he finally said: "Tongtian likes fellow Taoist..."
Kong Shuang opened his eyes wide, his face suddenly seemed to be filled with rosy clouds, and he looked shyly at Tongtian opposite him.
Tongtian's eyes looked a little strange, he glanced at her indifferently, and seemed to be completely uninterested in her. Kong Shuang curled her lips, and her face quickly regained color, and she looked at Taiyi questioningly.
Taiyi's face turned red, and he realized that Kong Shuang had misunderstood his words. He quickly stammered, "Of... Lingyu."
Kong Shuang was panting so hard that he almost vomited blood. He took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "So that's how it is. Thank you for telling me, fellow Taoist."
Taiyi's heart was broken, and he joined Chang Xi in drinking to drown his sorrows, feeling lost and sad.
