Chapter 45: Nuwa Becomes a Saint
◎Tongtian accepts another disciple◎
The Taoist name Jin Ling was both unexpected and surprising to Kong Shuang. Such a pretty and lovely little Lolita was given such a materialistic and casual name.
Jin Ling wasn't Duobao. The little girl must have loved beauty, and with such a name, she would definitely feel inferior. She sighed, lovingly patted the little baby on Jin Ling's head, and was about to say a few words of comfort, but she saw Jin Ling accept her name very naturally: "Thank you, teacher!"
Kong Shuang felt even more affectionate and rubbed her hair hard again.
When Tongtian saw Kong Shuang rubbing Jin Ling's hair, he also felt itchy. But Jin Ling was a girl, and he couldn't treat his little disciple like Kong Shuang, so he couldn't help but lift Kong Shuang's hair.
Although she doesn't have a small bag on her head, it feels very good.
The two of them kept touching each other, and Jin Ling blinked her big round eyes and asked innocently, "Teacher, is Madam Kong Shuang my master's wife?"
Kong Shuang's face flushed instantly, and he tapped her forehead with his fingertips: "What are you talking about, little girl? You're ruining my innocence!"
Tongtian's handsome face was filled with a smile. His anger towards Jin Ling for interrupting his fun had subsided. He nodded slightly and said, "What do you think?"
So, with just a simple sentence, Jin Ling replaced Duobao and became his teacher's favorite disciple.
Jin Ling: I knew the teacher would be happy to hear this.
After a while, Tongtian gave the magic weapon to his most beloved youngest disciple as usual, then he remembered his eldest disciple who had been forgotten, and discussed with Kong Shuang to bring Duobao back.
The two took Jin Ling to Wanshou Mountain.
Wuzhuang Temple is a paradise for Kong Shuang. When she is at Wuzhuang Temple, she practices Taoism and discusses Taoism with Zhen Yuanzi, while Hong Yun takes care of the children. They live a very comfortable life.
However, when I brought Tongtian back, I couldn't help feeling a little shy. It felt like I was bringing my son-in-law home, a feeling I didn't have at the Undying Volcano.
Seeing the two, Hong Yun was shocked at first, and then even more shocked, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, don't you know? Fellow Daoist Laozi and Fellow Daoist Yuanshi brought Duobao back to Kunlun Mountain a long time ago."
When Kong Shuang asked about the time, it was just after Yuanshi learned in the West that Tongtian had accepted Duobao as his disciple. It seemed that the two of them took Duobao back as soon as they knew of his existence. It sounded quite dedicated.
It's one thing to do your best, but whether your attitude is good or not is another question.
Kong Shuang and Tongtian looked at each other and frowned unconsciously.
Although he wanted to hurry back to Kunlun Mountain to see Duobao, Tongtian still remembered the etiquette. Wuzhuang Temple had taken in Duobao for many years, and he wanted to go there in person to thank Zhen Yuanzi.
Kong Shuang took him into the inner room, introduced the two to each other, left the space for the two of them, and went to the yard to look for Hongyun.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Hongyun has raised a few more children. Kong Shuang was amused when he saw Jin Ling playing with the little boys.
On the other side, Hong Yun came over and asked with a gossipy look on his face, "What's going on between you and Daoist Fellow Tongtian? I feel like there's something wrong with you two."
Kong Shuang raised an eyebrow. He didn't expect that Hong Yun, such a fool, could actually see it. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?"
Hong Yun clenched her fists: "He has been holding your hand. Is he trying to control you and make you do something for him?"
Kong Shuang exhaled, very disgusted: "You can think whatever you want? But this is not wrong."
Is controlling the mind considered control?
However, Hongyun's next words revealed the truth: "Why do I feel quite happy looking at you?"
Isn't it my pleasure!
At this moment, a little girl came shyly from the group of children. She came up to her and tugged at the corner of her robe: "Will Brother Duobao come back?"
Kong Shuang looked at Hong Yun in confusion.
Hongyun pulled the little girl over and explained, "This is Yunxiao. Duobao once went down the mountain and brought her and her brother and sister back to Wuzhuang Temple. I saw that they were the incarnations of the breeze and white clouds, and I felt a connection with them, so I kept them here."
Kong Shuang nodded, looking thoughtful: "I think I'm not only destined to be with you, but also with Tongtian in my family." She lowered her head and asked Yunxiao: "Is your brother called Zhao Gongming?"
Yunxiao was surprised and asked softly, "How did you know?"
Kong Shuang smiled secretly and thought: I not only know your name, I also know who your teacher is.
Yunxiao asked again: "Will I still be able to see Brother Duobao?"
Kong Shuang touched his chin and thought for a while: "That depends on whether you want to do it or not?"
After that, she called Jin Ling over and said, "Go and see when your teacher comes out. Tell him that I have found him another apprentice."
Tongtian, who was walking over, looked confused.
The final result was that Hongyun bid farewell to Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao with tears in his eyes. He was very sad and told Yunxiao: "Remember to come back to see me more often with Duobao..."
I look like a lonely old man.
Kong Shuang escorted another kindergarten principal, Tongtian, all the way out of Wanshou Mountain. Seeing the other principal's expression of confusion, grievance, anger and other reluctance, he turned around and returned to Wuzhuang Temple without any reluctance.
After returning to Wuzhuang Temple, he began to sigh. Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but ask, "Since you are so reluctant to leave, why don't you go with us?"
Kong Shuang shook her head and answered simply and concisely: "Distance creates beauty." She looked at Hongyun, who was wiping her tears with Zhen Yuanzi's sleeve, and sighed: "You won't understand."
Hongyun sobbed and said, "I understand. I was so reluctant to let Duobao go when he left. I didn't even care how naughty he was."
Kong Shuang nodded and gave him a thumbs up: "Yes, that's the truth."
Zhen Yuanzi pulled back his sleeves expressionlessly, thinking that both of them were abnormal.
He thought of something else and looked at Kong Shuang with a hint of mischief in his eyes: "I heard that Shangqing is going to marry into your Immortal Volcano. Is it true? Then you won't live in Wuzhuang Temple anymore?"
Kong Shuang was horrified: "Where did you hear that? I want a good reputation too."
Zhen Yuanzi replied, "Why would anyone need to hear it? Everyone with ears in the entire prehistoric world knows about it."
Kong Shuang's gaze fell on the extremely shocked Hong Yun: "What did he say?"
Zhen Yuanzi said, "He doesn't count."
Hongyun: ...
Kong Shuang felt a little complicated. He finally understood why Nuwa suddenly appeared in the Undying Volcano. It turned out that she came there to eat melons.
After all, this person is a famous gossip queen in the ancient times!
"I didn't. Where did this nonsense come from? When I find him, I will tear him into pieces!"
She was furious.
"Hmm?" Zhen Yuanzi shook his head. "Who knew Shangqing and you went to the Undying Volcano?"
Kong Shuang suddenly realized, and squeezed out a name viciously from between his teeth: "Zhunti——"
Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help laughing!
After scolding Hongyun, who also regarded Zhunti as shit, Kong Shuang went into seclusion. Nothing was more important than practicing.
During this period, he also communicated with Tongtian Chuan, a disciple of the Kunlun Mountain Sect, and had a very happy life.
One day, the Taoist boy guarding the gate of Wuzhuang Temple hurriedly reported: "Donghuang Taiyi of the demon clan has arrived!"
One of the two bosses of the demon clan came to visit, and even though Kong Shuang was reluctant, Zhen Yuanzi pulled him out to entertain the guest, giving Taiyi enough face.
Taiyi was led into the door, and his watery eyes first stared at Kong Shuang, and then dropped down: "Fellow Daoist Kong Shuang, long time no see."
Kong Shuang laughed dryly twice.
Facing the other two, Taiyi was not so polite and said directly: "My two fellow Daoists, could you please allow me to discuss this with fellow Daoist Kong Shuang alone?"
Please make sure you know whose territory this is. Hong Yun rolled up his sleeves and was about to go in, but Zhen Yuanzi pulled him back. He said, "Feel free to do as you please!"
Kong Shuang looked at him hurriedly and said, "You can't abandon your friends like this."
Zhen Yuanzi hinted, "Do you know how powerful Donghuang Taiyi is now? Speak nicely when you speak, and don't tear down Wuzhuang Temple."
As soon as the two of them left, Kong Shuang invited Taiyi to sit down, and the two of them fell into an awkward situation.
Kong Shuang kept asking for tea, and Taiyi drank water vigorously.
After Taiyi had finished drinking a full belly of tea, Kong Shuang could no longer bear the strange atmosphere and finally broke the silence in the room: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the East has come to visit us. I wonder how you knew I was at Wuzhuang Temple."
He used to call him Fellow Taoist Taiyi, but now he calls him Donghuang, which seems to make the relationship more distant.
Just as Taiyi was about to speak, he couldn't help but burp. The crisp sound made the atmosphere awkward again. He was so ashamed and angry that he didn't even dare to look at Kong Shuang. After a while, he said, "I went to Kunlun Mountain just now. It was...Tongtian told me."
Kong Shuang's smile froze on her face, and she cursed in her heart: I knew this guy was a black-hearted person, and he deliberately brought Taiyi to her to cause trouble.
Taiyi was still worried about the embarrassment of burping in front of his sweetheart when he saw the strange expression on Kong Shuang's face. He immediately thought of the rumors in the ancient times and his own unspoken feelings, and his mood became even heavier.
Just now, he had decided to choose friendship in Kunlun Mountain, so he pestered Tongtian not to reveal anything he had said to him about Fellow Daoist Kong Shuang, and forced him to take an oath.
Now that he had come to see Kong Shuang, he also wanted to say his final goodbye and put an end to his thousands of years of longing for him.
Of course, this period is not very perfect.
He has been in love for thousands of years, but his sweetheart knows nothing. He feels so sorry just thinking about it.
But he knew that he could not blame anyone else. If he had to blame someone, he should blame himself for not expressing his true feelings to fellow Daoist Kong Shuang earlier. Instead, Tongtian got there first. But Tongtian was his best friend, and he could not bear to resent him. He could only sulk in himself.
After sulking in Kunlun Mountain, he turned around and congratulated Tongtian on both of them.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Now that he saw Kong Shuang again, he couldn't help but want to say more to his sweetheart, but he was not good at talking and could not compare to Tongtian. Thinking of this, Taiyi was extremely discouraged.
After a while, he said, "Fellow Daoist Kong Shuang used to call me Fellow Daoist Taiyi, but now it seems strange. I still remember the time when we talked and laughed happily in Zixiao Palace. Thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Kong Shuang laughed dryly twice and couldn't help but complain in his heart: Who was chatting and laughing with you? It was obviously your brother who was chatting and laughing at the time, and you couldn't even fart next to him.
Taiyi naturally realized the flaw in his words. Seeing Kong Shuang's lack of interest, he felt even more sad. He couldn't help but secretly make up his mind that he must let Kong Shuang know that he had liked her in the past.
He raised his golden eyes, and although there was still shyness in his eyes, he said firmly: "I have also heard a little about the story of Daoyou and Tongtian in the prehistoric times..."
Kong Shuang covered her face and said, "Don't mention this anymore. It's so embarrassing. The next time she sees Zhunti, she will tear him into pieces!"
Taiyi's eyes slowly began to gaze at her affectionately, and his handsome face became more solemn: "But there is one thing that fellow Daoist doesn't know yet..."
Kong Shuang had nowhere to escape under this gaze. She felt an inexplicable pain in her teeth and a chill on her back. She was not stupid, so she could naturally understand what this look meant. She took a deep breath and suppressed the shivering feeling.
After saying all this, she immediately guessed what he was going to say next. Her head started to hurt as she thought about how to stop Taiyi from saying anything.
The surroundings were silent. At this critical moment, a huge pressure rose out of nowhere, and countless cultivators were forced to kneel down under the pressure. Of course, those who were at the level of Kong Shuang and Taiyi could not kneel down, but they also felt the suppression of this force.
Taiyi's attention was diverted before he could finish his words.
The two men's faces changed and they went out to look. They saw golden light shining and glittering on the Buzhou Mountain in the distance, and countless Taoist rhymes rising into the sky.
Kong Shuang didn't even need to calculate to know that this was Nuwa's ascension to sainthood.
She turned around and cupped her hands to Taiyi: "Congratulations, fellow Daoist."
Congratulations to my son, it’s a great time for Nuwa to become a saint!
