Cen Biqing hurriedly bowed and greeted him, while Kou Qianzhi finished eating the remaining peach in the jade cup, then clapped his hands and introduced the Taoists around him to Cen Biqing.
"This is Lu Xiujing, the Heavenly Master."
"That one is Fellow Daoist Zhang Jiao, General of Heaven. That one is Fellow Daoist Zhang Bao, General of Earth. That one is Fellow Daoist Zhang Liang, General of Humanity."
"That's Fellow Daoist Li Chunfeng, that's Fellow Daoist Yuan Tiangang, oh, and Fellow Daoist Zhang Sanfeng, the one over there."
"That's fellow Daoist Liu Chenxiang, that's Taoist Master Yuhua, and that's fellow Daoist San Shengmu..."
Following Kou Qianzhi's brief introduction, Cen Biqing's eyes widened. She had never expected that the people sitting around her were all famous gods.
She had only heard of some gods in legends, such as Liu Chenxiang and the Three Holy Mothers.
Of course, there are not only Taoist ones, but also Buddhist ones.
However, Kou Qianzhi, the immortal from the Buddhist sect, was obviously too lazy to introduce himself and simply said to Cen Biqing, "There's nothing much to say about those monks. They all look the same with their bald heads and bare brains. It's hard to remember them all."
Cen Biqing chuckled, but she immediately stopped laughing. This was at the Peach Festival, and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were sitting on the golden platform. It would not be good if they were seen.
After Cen Biqing suppressed her smile, she looked up at the Buddhist gods. It was just as Kou Qianzhi said. At first glance, they were all wearing Buddhist hats or had bald heads. They were very difficult to recognize, and she could not recognize many of them.
But soon Cen Biqing's pupils shrank because she saw a familiar face, "Fahai!"
Fahai seemed to have sensed Cen Biqing's gaze. He slowly raised his head, his two snow-white eyebrows trembled slightly, and then he put his hands together and saluted Cen Biqing.
Cen Biqing nodded expressionlessly in return, then retracted his gaze, raised his hand to pick up the golden ruler, and with extremely graceful movements, cut the peach into sixteen small pieces.
As she took the peach in her mouth, a surge of celestial energy rushed straight to her head. Cen Biqing's delicate body trembled violently as if she had been electrocuted. Then she opened her mouth and gently exhaled a breath of fresh air. At this moment, she had only one feeling: "Comfortable!"
She felt that her whole body was enveloped by the fairy spirit of the peaches, which made her body and soul feel extremely comfortable and happy.
After being washed by the fairy spirit of the peaches, Cen Biqing's mind was intoxicated by the delicious taste of the peach flesh, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses.
When she came to her senses, she felt a fragrant breeze coming from the right. She turned her head and saw a fairy from the Yaochi Lake bringing another three-thousand-year-old peach and placing it on the jade cup on Kou Qianzhi's table.
"Is there more than one?" Cen Biqing thought to herself when she saw this scene. She thought each person only had one peach.
At this time, she heard Kou Qianzhi say, "Give this to me."
Cen Biqing looked up and found Kou Qianzhi holding the peach core in his hand and speaking to the Yaochi Fairy.
The Yaochi Fairy smiled slightly and reached out to take the fruit core from Kou Qianzhi's hand. "The Peach Festival has long stipulated that all immortals can only eat peaches, and the cores must remain in Yaochi. After eating a peach, you must take back a core."
Kou Qianzhi sighed and said, "It seems that my wish to plant a peach tree in this lifetime will never come true."
Having said this, Kou Qianzhi turned to the Yaochi Fairy and said, "Could you give me an extra peach so I can take it back to my disciple?"
The Yaochi Fairy shook her head and smiled again, "No, the Queen Mother said that at the Peach Banquet, 'only full stomachs are allowed, no treasures allowed.'"
After saying this, the Fairy of Yao Chi stood up and left with the basket.
Cen Biqing was slightly distracted when she heard the words of the Yaochi Fairy. When she came to her senses, she looked at the peaches in front of her with regret and melancholy, thinking to herself, "Now I can't bring one back to Fang Jian..."
Cen Biqing was thinking when she suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing through Yaochi, which made her shiver.
Just when she thought this was normal, she discovered that the "celebrities" around her were all looking solemnly towards the golden platform in the north.
"It's started again." Wang Chongyang shook his head and sighed, looking towards the golden platform in the north with a serious expression.
Cen Biqing asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Master Chongyang, what's started again?"
Wang Chongyang looked towards the golden platform to the north and said, "Every time there's a Peach Banquet, the atmosphere on the golden platform is tense. The three powers of Heaven, Taoism, and Buddhism come to the Peach Banquet to discuss and negotiate certain matters."
"Was the wind cold just now?" Wang Chongyang asked.
Cen Biqing said, "Cold, cold to the bone."
Wang Chongyang's eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice, "That's right, it's cold. It means that there is a disagreement among those on the golden platform."
