Chapter 9 When is the time to chop wood and cut laurel, how much do the immortals know about the past
Strings of small white flowers, the old locust tree is dressed like a young woman wearing filial piety, a gust of spring breeze blows, full of the sweet fragrance of the yard. In the pen "Fun" pavilion www.biquge.info a child with a pink jade peck ran out of the house, his emerald green clothes fluttering in the wind, like a butterfly floating out of the yard, towards the back garden, scattering a silver bell-like laughter.
In the back garden, there are three wooden houses, all made of whole logs, and at the four corners of the house are four thick trees, which have begun to emerge in the spring breeze with small pointed tender green shoots. The flowers in the garden were wrapped in thick straw curtains, and hemp rope was tied outside. A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, dressed in a gray cloth shirt, with a short beard under his forehead, and long hair in a bun pinned with a hairpin. Sitting at the corner door in the northeast of the wooden house, he held an axe in his hand, the handle of the axe was a gray wooden handle, and the blade of the axe looked dull, as if it had been used for a long time, and it was very worn.
The middle-aged man already had a pile of chopped firewood in front of him, and there were only a few unchopped pieces of wood left next to him. With a laugh like a silver bell, a large green butterfly floated through the moon gate that connected the garden to the master's house. "Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu, are you going to breathe the flowers today?" , Wu Gang put down the axe in his hand, and his already wrinkled face was full of a kind smile.
Looking at Wang Rongyue who ran over, Wu Gang was in a very good mood, he had been here for six years, and these six years were the happiest six years he had ever lived, and this happiness was brought to him by the little girl in front of him. Wu Gang was very glad that he had promised Fairy Chang'e to come and protect Wang Rongyue, so that he could get this happiness, not only to drive away the loneliness, but also to make up for the good time he had with the child.
Everyone in the world says that the gods are good, and the sorrows and troubles have been forgotten, so what kind of gods are there, how can the sorrows and troubles be forgotten. Wu Gang felt that his immortal was not good at all, and he wondered several times if he was wrong to learn the Tao in the first place. At the beginning, he was still young, and after marrying his wife, the husband and wife were very affectionate.
But he suddenly fell in love with the immortal Taoism, hoping for immortality, and did not listen to his wife's tearful advice, so he resolutely left his wife alone and went to various immortal caves alone to visit the immortals. After crossing ninety-nine mountains, flowing through ninety-nine rivers, the hard work paid off, and was finally accepted by the Xishan Taoist, and after twenty years, he finally succeeded in Taoism and cultivated into a half-immortal body.
After years of boring cultivation, Wu Gang's Taoist heart was exhausted, and he remembered his wife, Wu Gang asked his master Xishan Daoren for leave to go home to visit relatives, and when Wu Gang returned to his hometown, he learned that his wife, after he left, he waited for him for three years, and then remarried to Bo Lao, who is said to be the grandson of Emperor Yan.
Wu Gang inquired and searched, and finally found Bo Lao in Qiushan, only to know that after his wife remarried Bo Lao, her life was very happy and she already had three children. Bo Gang was very angry that Wu Gang came to find his wife, and Wu Gang fought, although Bo Gang was the grandson of Emperor Yan, but he was an ordinary mortal, Wu Gang had practiced with the Xishan Dao people for many years, and he was successful in Taoism, and the weapon he cultivated was a divine axe.
As soon as Bo Lian died, Emperor Yan knew that Emperor Yan was the god in charge of the sun after becoming a god, how could he take a break, he had to kill Wu Gang, Wu Gang's master Xishan Daoren, was a disciple of Taishang Laojun, naturally he couldn't weaken his reputation, who in this society was not a face. Both sides refused to budge, things got bigger, and the Jade Emperor had to come out and make mud.
Fortunately, the Jade Emperor still has some empty positions in his hands, and the condition is that both sides will stop, and then they will both go to heaven to become immortals. Taishang Laojun did not come forward directly, and Emperor Yan was a little unrelenting, demanding that Wu Gang must be punished, and his grandson could not serve in the heavenly court. The Jade Emperor didn't want to give face to Emperor Yan, and talked to the Xishan Daoist, and the Xishan Daoist also felt that Wu Gang was a little wrong, and he was a little impetuous, so he agreed.
The Jade Emperor and the mud are experienced, and they are afraid that after Wu Gang ascends to heaven, Emperor Yan will retaliate against him, so he will arrange Wu Gang to the Moon Palace, so that the two basically do not meet, as for the punishment, just cut down the tree, anyway, it is not a good thing for the old laurel tree in the Moon Palace to grow too fast. In fact, the Jade Emperor still has some thoughts in his heart, Chang'e's husband Hou Yi and Emperor Yan also have a grudge, and they shot to death Emperor Yan's eight sworn brothers. So Emperor Yan didn't like Chang'e either. Emperor Yan wants to take revenge on Wu Gang, and it is estimated that Chang'e will not help, so it is good for Wu Gang, and the Jade Emperor is also worried that it will be bad if he makes trouble again, and it will not be good for Taishang Laojun to come forward.
Because of the matter of Zhu Gangguana, the Jade Emperor arranged Chang'e in the Moon Palace, and after a long time, this little widow was also quite lonely, and many immortals in the sky were uneasy, and Wu Gang was arranged in, and some immortals in the province often dangled in front of the Moon Palace. If something happens to Wu Gang and Chang'e, it is also a matter in the door, no one knows, and everyone is used to office romances.
I have to say that the level of the Jade Emperor and the mud is high, Wu Gang's wife was unwilling, so she proposed to let her son also go to heaven to be a god. The Jade Emperor and the Yan Emperor didn't want to see these three children, and Bo Yan was actually quite bad, saying that the Moon Palace was a good place, and asked to arrange his son in the Moon Palace, to put it bluntly, he was specially angry with Wu Gang.
The Jade Emperor was a little unhappy in his heart, and promised to agree, but one became a jade rabbit, one became a toad, and one became a big snake. It's all very ugly. Wu Gang cut down trees all the year round, afraid that Bo Liang's three children would make it bad, so the axe never left his hand, once the toad jumped around in front of Wu Gang and deliberately said something strange, which made Wu Gang anxious, and cut off one of the toad's legs with an axe. There was a fuss again, and the Jade Emperor was very angry and didn't want to care. It was the queen mother who came forward and taught the toad a skill to find money, so that the matter was settled.
The queen mother is also a person with ideas, and the Jade Emperor takes care of Chang'e, a pretty widow, in many ways, and she is not happy in her heart. can leave the toad in the Moon Palace to disgust Chang'e, and the queen mother is also happy. After the toad got this ability to find money, he was overjoyed, who doesn't like money, he often secretly looks for money in the lower realm, and slowly his reputation spreads, and he gets the name of a wealth and gold toad.
Wu Gang's ability to come to Wang Rongyue's house is also the reason for the Hundred Flowers Fairy, the Hundred Flowers Fairy is in charge of the world's flowers, there are still a lot of things, and he wants to sell Rongyue's favors, but he doesn't have time. Those of his subordinates will take care of the flowers and plants, and if they really have the idea of monsters to fight Wang Rongyue, their subordinates can't bear it at all.
After thinking about it, she hit Wu Gang with the idea, she and Chang'e are best friends, knowing that Wu Gang and Chang'e are both hard-working people, and the two of them have some feelings in their hearts, but Wu Gang knows his situation very well, and he doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him, and he doesn't dare to make the slightest mistake, in order not to give others the opportunity to spread rumors, every night when the bright moon is in the sky, Wu Gang keeps cutting down trees, so that everyone in the world knows that he is working. Save others gossiping. However, although Wu Gang looks honest, he has real skills, and his Taoist cultivation is not low, and ordinary mountain spirits-water monsters are not opponents at all.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy said to Chang'e that she wanted to ask Wu Gang for help, and Chang'e asked Baihua to discuss with Wu Gang by herself, and Baihua Xi understood that Chang'e could be regarded as agreeing. Wu Gang has long been annoyed by cutting down trees all year round, and he also wants to take a break, and besides, Baihua Xi promised to supply a bottle of Baihua Xian brew for free every month during the period of Guardian Wang Rongyue. As for the laurel tree in the Moon Palace, there is nothing that can be cut or not.
Wu Gang brought the seeds of the laurel tree in the Moon Palace when he went to the lower realm, so in addition to the flowers in the garden of Wang Rongyue's house, a circle of laurel trees was planted in the courtyard wall of the garden, which has grown very tall, Wu Gang is ready to brew some osmanthus when the osmanthus blooms this year, brew some osmanthus and drink it, since drinking the Hundred Flowers Fairy Hundred Flowers Fairy Brew, Wu Gang likes the wine, the taste of the wine in the world is a little worse, and the osmanthus brew of the Moon Palace is still good.
Wu Gang is an idle person, the weapon he cultivates is an axe, and later cutting trees is also an axe, and after coming to the world, in addition to taking care of flowers and plants, it is to chop wood. Wu Gang's wood-chopping skills have reached the realm of great ingenuity. If you look closely, you can see that each piece of wood he chopped is split along the grain of the wood.
Seeing Rongyue running over, Wu Gang put the axe in his waist, and reached out to pull Rongyue who ran in front of him, "Yue'er, run slowly, it's terrible to knock it", "Uncle Wu, today you want to breathe the flowers, right?" Rong Yue raised her little face and looked at Wu Gang. Wu Gang smiled, "The weather is already warm, you can take off the quilt of these flowers today", Rongyue jumped up happily, "Oh, oh, the flowers can come out!" ”。
The garden of the Wang family was not big originally, since Baihua came a few times, Wang Yongan expanded the back garden several times, and the outside of the back garden of the Wang family was originally idle land, and after the wall was demolished, it was re-encircled. Originally, there were only a few kinds of flowers and plants in the garden, but now there are many varieties, Wu Gang takes care of it very finely, Wang Rongyue has been sensible since she is sensible, and she also likes flowers very much, so she is very familiar with Wu Gang.
Baihua asked Wu Gang to protect Wang Rongyue, but did not tell him Wang Rongyue's origin, only said that his peony flower fairy came to the world and asked him to take care of him for ten years. Therefore, Wu Gang always thought that Wang Rongyue was just a peony fairy, and he didn't know that Wang Rongyue was the reincarnation of a pure immortal spirit. Wang Rongyue's pure breath made Wu Gang like it very much, so when Wang Rongyue was on his sixth birthday, Wu Gang used the branch of the laurel tree of the Moon Palace as a handle, and made a small axe from the corner of his axe, which was given to Rongyue as a birthday gift.
This axe is not as ugly as Wu Gang's axe, the axe is shiny silver, the handle of the axe is golden, polished, and very small. The axe blade did not open the edge, and the axe and Fu were the same sound, so Wang Yongan asked Wang Rongyue to accept it. Wang Rongyue also likes it very much.
Wu Gang also taught Rongyue how to use an axe on weekdays, anyway, he was idle, he didn't have any children, and Rongyue just compensated for his family fun. Since Rongyue was six years old, Wu Gang has consciously cultivated Rongyue to cultivate according to his Taoism. Of course, Rongyue himself didn't know, Wu Gang also taught exercises to strengthen the body, with the accumulation of time, for more than a year, Wang Rongyue has begun to have a trace of divine power in his body. Wu Gang was very surprised, this qualification was too good, in such a short period of time, there was divine power. He wouldn't have been so surprised if he knew that Rongyue was the reincarnation of a pure immortal spirit. Under the teaching of Bodhi Daozu, Wukong learned the ability to shake the world in just three years.
Wu Gang took his own axe and took Rongyue to start giving flowers in the garden one by one, removing the grass cloak to protect it, and Rongyue also took his own small axe to help. Some flower branches have begun to show tender green shoots, and Wu Gang taught Rongyue how to identify excess flower branches and how to prune flowers with an axe. Although Rongyue's little axe did not have a blade, Wu Gang added a little divine power to the blade of the small axe, and it became extremely sharp. Every time Rong Yue walks, Wu Gang will restore the blunt nature of the axe to prevent it from hurting Rong Yue.
The axe of Rongyue is actually not simple at all, the axe used by Agarwood to split the mountain to save his mother is the same material as Wu Gang's axe, and the laurel branch of the axe handle is the laurel branch of the Moon Palace, which can be big or small under the urging of divine power, and the axe is also. However, Rongyue is just beginning to show signs of divine power now, and she doesn't understand the benefits of this axe. Wu Gang didn't tell Rong Yue either. I think it's a gift for myself. When the cultivation of the divine power of the melting moon is successful, it is natural to know the characteristics of the axe.
Rongyue likes the flowers and plants in the garden very much, and prunes them very carefully, as if she is afraid of hurting the flower branches. In her eyes, flowers, like herself, are delicate, beautiful, and loved.
