"Your Majesty, the Earth God of Pantao Garden requests an audience."
A few days later, the Queen Mother was reading the memorials from the gods in Yaochi Lake when a fairy in green suddenly appeared in front of the palace gate and bowed to her.
The Queen Mother was slightly startled, and then suddenly remembered that March 3rd was approaching, and she thought that the Earth God came to ask whether to hold the Peach Banquet this year.
"Summon him in."
"Your Majesty, I am guilty of death." Unexpectedly, after the Earth God entered the room, he prostrated himself on the ground and said in a trembling voice.
The Queen Mother's expression changed slightly, and she asked softly, "What happened?"
"Your Majesty, due to my failure in supervision, the largest peach tree in Taoyuan, the one with purple stripes and yellow cores, has been infested by insects. The essence of the nine peaches has been sucked dry, leaving only a waste shell hanging on the tree. Today, the wind blew and it fell from the tree." Taoyuan Land God said.
The Queen Mother stood up suddenly, her eyes stern. "Are you sure it's an insect infestation, and not someone sneaking into the Peach Garden and stealing the peaches?"
Taoyuan Earth God: "I am certain! Not to mention that the restrictions on Taoyuan were set up by you personally, it is impossible for ordinary gods to break through the restrictions and enter the peach forest. Even if someone entered the peach forest with some secret treasure, it is impossible for them to eat nine peaches. Besides, since they have entered, shouldn't they take something with them when they leave?"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she felt that it did make sense.
This is the most basic logic. Who would enter a treasure trove and just grab a handful of stuff and leave?
"Have you found the bug that ate the peaches?" the Queen Mother asked again.
Taoyuan Earth God shook his head and said, "I haven't had time to look for it yet. After discovering this, I came to report to you immediately."
The Queen Mother said in a deep voice, "Since you've never made a mistake before, I'll give you three days to hunt down all the insects hiding in Taoyuan. If something like this happens again, don't blame me for punishing you."
The Taoyuan Earth God secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly kowtowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
He knew that this was the first time and would be the last time.
Fortunately, the loss this time was small, so the Empress did not get too angry.
Otherwise, the Queen would not consider the ability issue, just like the Taoyuan Earth God who was dismissed and punished last time. He was banished to the mortal world just because he failed to stop the Monkey King from stealing peaches...
Can a mere land god control the Monkey King?
But in front of the furious Queen, who would be willing to plead for the God of Land, with whom she is destined to have little interaction?
Soon after returning to Taoyuan, the Earth God began a detailed search, but did not find a single insect.
Sitting alone under the peach tree, smelling the fragrance of peaches, and thinking for a long time, the God of Land finally made a decision.
If there are no bugs, then they will create them. For the sake of their own livelihood, those nine peaches must be destroyed by bugs!!!
Qin Yao didn't know that because of the system of the Heavenly Palace and the selfishness of the God of Taoyuan, his crime of stealing peaches was settled.
In fact, he is not afraid even if he is exposed.
After all, his relationship with the Heavenly Court was as bad as fire and water, so he was not afraid of the itch when he had too many lice.
Not to mention that he now has a backer. With just a suitable opportunity, Guanyin can help him complete the task of modifying the Heavenly Rules and break the current predicament.
When the heavenly rules are revised, perhaps they father and son will still be wanted by the Heavenly Court, but the Third Holy Mother will be free again. By then, he will have completed his merits and will be able to repay the karma of borrowing Liu Yanchang's body.
…
"boom!"
Early morning, on the top of Cuiyun Mountain.
Just as Qin Yao was facing the rising sun with Chenxiang, inhaling and exhaling the essence of the sun, a mountain in the distance suddenly collapsed without any warning, and the sound of the landslide was earth-shaking.
The father and son both raised their heads and looked up, their eyes gleaming with a faint golden light.
With the help of magic power, he looked to the front of the mountain with his super long vision, and saw the old fox flying quickly towards Xiaoyu who was maintaining the chopping posture.
"Thank God, congratulations, Xiaoyu, you have finally mastered the Heaven-Splitting Palm. This is the first time in eight hundred years since your mother that a fox has mastered this extraordinary skill." After landing lightly beside Xiaoyu, the old fox's eyes were unknowingly filled with tears.
Xiaoyu put her legs together and exhaled, "No need to thank God. My cultivation of the Heaven-Splitting Divine Palm has nothing to do with heaven or earth. It's all thanks to the ten thousand years of magic power given by the wick of the Precious Lotus Lantern."
The old fox's face froze and he was speechless.
She deliberately avoided thinking about the kindness that Liu and his son had shown to Xiaoyu, but the fact was that without Liu and his son, it would be questionable whether Xiaoyu could survive, let alone cultivate the Heaven-Splitting Divine Palm.
This reality filled her heart with mixed feelings every time she thought of it.
However, the reality of the current situation prevented her from opening her mouth to talk about revenge.
"Dad, I'm going to find Xiaoyu." On the top of Cuiyun Mountain, Chenxiang retracted his gaze and said with a smile.
Qin Yao nodded silently: "Go."
Chenxiang stood up excitedly, and his body suddenly turned into a golden light, rushing straight towards the grandfather and grandson.
I don’t know whether the old fox was hiding too deeply or Chenxiang had a narrow vision. Since he had never seen any hostility in the old fox, he really treated the old fox as his grandmother because of Xiaoyu’s seniority.
It's fine for a day or two, but after a long time, the old fox's heart softened.
Seeing Chenxiang appear nearby, a complex emotion flashed across her eyes, and she asked calmly, "Are you here to play with Xiaoyu again?"
Chen Xiang smiled innocently and touched the back of his head: "Yes, grandma, will you go with us?"
The old fox shook his head and said, "You two go play, why should I follow you? Go quickly, go quickly, don't get in my way here."
Chenxiang nodded, and in front of the old fox, he grabbed Xiaoyu's hand and said, "Yu'er, let's go."
Looking at their clasped hands, the old fox's eyes twitched slightly, but in the end he said nothing and let them leave...
There is peace in Cuiyun Mountain, so peaceful that Chenxiang can even talk about love without any worries.
Outside Cuiyun Mountain, Nezha, who was sitting cross-legged on the clouds, watched this scene with his mind's eyes, and an aunt-like smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Nezha, what are you laughing at?" Li Jing, who was sitting cross-legged in the air not far away, suddenly asked.
Nezha opened his eyes and lied seriously, "Father, I just remembered the happy times of my childhood."
Hearing this, Li Jing was even a little dazed.
The little kid who was originally not even as tall as his waist has now become a famous god of the Three Altars and Sea Assemblies in the Three Realms. Calculating the time, it has been at least 1,500 years since the Conferred God Ceremony.
Where has the time gone?
"Useless! Usage! No matter how much time is given to them, they won't be able to capture Cuiyun Mountain!"
In Yaochi, the Queen Mother, who found that the Jade Emperor was flirting with other fairies but could not lose her temper, finally smashed the things on the table with a gloomy face, using the excuse that Li Jing, Erlang Shen and Zhang Daoling were not doing their job well.
She can modify the heavenly rules and prohibit any gods in heaven from falling in love, but she has no control over the Jade Emperor.
Because the Heavenly Rules and Regulations were originally tools for the Jade Emperor to rule the three realms. How could a tool possibly control its owner?
And even if the Jade Emperor really did something with a female fairy, that female fairy would escape the prohibition of romance in the heavenly rules.
Thinking of this, she became even angrier.
But even though she was furious, she did not lose her mind. She knew that she could not control the Jade Emperor, so she could only quietly divert her anger and focus all her hatred on the Liu father and son...
"What's wrong with the Queen?" Outside the Yaochi Palace, the Jade Emperor, with a flushed face and a smile on his lips, slowly put away his smile and asked the green-clothed fairy who was guarding outside the palace.
The green-clad fairy knelt on the ground and said with lowered eyes, "I don't know."
The Jade Emperor stood in front of the door, thought for a moment, and then turned around and left.
Because the Queen Mother was furious and the Jade Emperor was more powerful than her, she did not notice that the other party was coming.
After venting for a long time, until she had smashed everything in front of her, she finally calmed down the anger caused by jealousy.
"We can't go on like this." Murmuring softly, the Queen Mother took a step forward and left the palace.
She raised her hand to summon the immortal chariot, sat upright on the chariot, and fell straight to the mortal world.
South China Sea, Mount Putuo, and Purple Bamboo Forest.
Guanyin's mind moved, she calculated with her fingers, and then said to Shancai Longnu who was standing in front of her, "The Queen Mother is about to arrive. Take your men to the outside of the forest to welcome her."
"Yes, Bodhisattva." The lovely-looking Shancai Dragon Girl clasped her hands together and bowed slightly.
Not long after, the Queen Mother's chariot landed in front of the purple bamboo forest, and Shancai and the Dragon Girl hurriedly bowed in greeting with a group of fellow disciples.
Zizhulin, or Guanyin, has its own set of standards for receiving foreign guests.
If someone's status and strength are not as good as hers, then he or she will come to pay a visit.
Those whose status and strength are equal to his, or almost the same, will be greeted by maids.
She would take the initiative to greet those who were higher in status and power than Guanyin.
The Queen Mother may not be as powerful as her, but she is nominally the leader of the three realms of female fairies. This group of disciples who came to welcome her is her way of showing respect to her.
After a while.
Led by Shancai, Longnu and others, the Queen Mother went straight into the purple bamboo forest and came to the waterfall that never stopped flowing all year round.
Guanyin, dressed in a white dress and smiling, stood beside a stone table in front of the waterfall. She pointed to the stone bench opposite and said with a smile, "Please sit down, Your Majesty."
The Queen Mother sat on the stone bench with a dignified manner, and Guanyin immediately brewed tea with her bare hands. In a moment, the fragrance of tea filled the air.
"Doesn't the Bodhisattva ask me why I'm here?" Looking at her peaceful and quiet appearance, the Queen Mother said softly.
Guanyin smiled and said, "I am waiting for you to speak up yourself. In this way, whether to speak or not will be determined by your heart."
The Queen Mother exhaled softly and sighed, "I've come to seek the Bodhisattva's help...or even to complain."
Guanyin put away her smile and asked, "What is the pain, Madam?"
The Queen Mother said helplessly, “All beings in the Three Realms, especially the gods in Heaven, think I am too heartless and ruthless. I clearly have a husband, but I changed the Heavenly Law to stipulate that gods are not allowed to have extramarital affairs.
But no one, or rather no God, has carefully considered the terrible consequences of allowing gods to intermarry.
First of all, once some immortals fall in love, their brains seem to be lost and they can give everything for love.
The key is that you give everything you have, but you also give everything he thinks is right. For love, you are willing to subvert the three realms.
Secondly, once the gods form a family and give birth to a bunch of little gods, a family of gods will be formed. When the family becomes larger and the needs become greater, they will reach out for power.
Having tasted the sweetness of power, they will try to hold on to it.
Monsters like aristocratic families have already appeared in the human world, so will immortal aristocratic families also appear in the heavens?"
Guanyin had to admit that what the Queen Mother said made sense.
There really are those brainless, infatuated people who are willing to destroy the world in the name of love.
Moreover, once it is stipulated that immortals can marry each other, immortal families will inevitably emerge.
After all, you can't allow intermarriage but not allow others to have children, right?
But no matter how reasonable it is, what does it have to do with her?
This is not something she should think about, and she also has her own demands...
"What does your Majesty want me to do to help you?" Guanyin asked calmly.
The Queen Mother said, "The Jade Emperor and I represent the face of the Heavenly Family and cannot act rashly, but you can. I hope you can go to Cuiyun Mountain for me and subdue the Bull Demon King and the Liu family father and son."
Guanyin was silent for a moment, then said, "I feel that the harder you press, the stronger the resistance will be. After all, love between men and women is human nature, and the gods today are all transformed through human cultivation. Their nature will not disappear with becoming a god."
Not to mention the Three Realms, even in this heaven alone, there are probably countless gods who are restricted by heavenly rules and cannot be with the people they love.
Over time, if love is not achieved, there may be big problems. So I think that instead of forcing them, it is better to let them go with the flow.
The Queen Mother stood up suddenly, her face serious: "But did the Fighting Buddha come to see you in advance?"
"Don't be impatient, just listen to what I have to say." Guanyin said slowly.
The Queen Mother hesitated for a long time, but finally sat down and said, "You go ahead."
Guanyin: "All results arise from causes. Strictly prohibiting the gods and immortals from having feelings is the cause of countless results.
Originally, this matter has nothing to do with my Buddhist sect, and I would not interfere. But since you have come to me for help today, please bring this cause and effect to me.
I want to make a bet with you on whether the Liu father and son can split Mount Hua and rescue the Three Holy Mothers.
If they can, please ask the Queen to forgive their family and modify the rules of heaven to allow the gods to have feelings.
If they cannot split Mount Hua and rescue the Three Holy Mothers, then I will personally subdue the Bull Demon King and the Liu family father and son."
The Queen Mother remained silent, various thoughts flashing through her mind rapidly.
Guanyin did not urge him, but simply said, "This will do you no harm."
The Queen Mother pondered for a long time and slowly nodded. "Okay, but you have to wait ten days before the Liu family father and son can go to Mount Hua, and you can't help them split the mountain to rescue people. In addition, there is a time limit for rescuing people. I will give them a maximum of three months..."
Guanyin knew that the Queen Mother was going to seal Huashan, but she had no objection: "I have no problem with that either. It's settled then."
After reaching the agreement, the Queen Mother immediately flew away from the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea and went straight to the sky above Mount Hua.
Sitting on the fairy chariot, she lifted the window curtain, turned her head to look at the towering Huashan Mountain, smiled coldly, took out a golden Qiankun bowl, and threw it out of the window.
The Qiankun Bowl grew bigger and bigger as it fell, eventually becoming hundreds of times larger, with its mouth facing downwards, resting above the top of the mountain.
The next moment, as she chanted the spell, infinite golden light suddenly gushed out from the mouth of the bowl, pouring down like a tide, covering the entire mountain.
Split the mountain to save his wife?
Daydreaming! (End of this chapter)
