Chapter 240: Wu Gang Fights Gui (II)

Wu Gang was stunned again, and then reacted again in an instant, hurriedly pinned the axe back to his waist, and said to Gao Yang with an apologetic face: "Little brother, I'm really embarrassed, I'm just a little excited for a while!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay! As long as you put the axe away! ”

Gao Yang said with some palpitations, those axes just now were so terrifying, they almost flew past the tip of his nose, if he hadn't reacted quickly, maybe they would have broken by now.

"Come on, little brother, let's sit down and talk, you've been here for so long, you're the second person I've ever met!"

As soon as Wu Gang spoke, he invited Gao Yang to sit down under the immortal laurel tree.

Gao Yang thought about it, anyway, this is already on the moon, and it doesn't matter if the errand of cleaning the Guanghan Palace is slow, besides, he himself has some things to ask Wu Gang, so he no longer shirks and sits down under the tree.

As soon as he sat down, Wu Gang looked at Gao Yang with great excitement and asked, "Dare to ask little brother, what year is it tonight?" ”

Gao Yang replied without thinking: "2015!"

In 2015?

Wu Gang chattered with some confusion, as if he didn't understand what this meant at all, but it was no wonder that he was in the era when he was not calculated by time, but by the title of the emperor at that time.

Gao Yang naturally understood this truth, so he asked, "Wu Gang, when did you come to Heavenly Court?" ”

Wu Gang thought about it and then said: "I can't remember when, but I remember that the emperor at that time seemed to be surnamed Li!" ”

Surname Lee? Throughout the history of China, it seems that the emperor surnamed Li only has the Tang Dynasty, that is to say, this Wu Gang should be a person from the Tang Dynasty, and if you calculate the time, it should be at least more than 1,300 years ago!

Thinking of this, Gao Yang said to Wu Gang: "When you came to Heavenly Court, it was the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Tang Dynasty has long ceased to exist, if I'm not mistaken, it's been more than 1,300 years since you came to Heavenly Court! And now, 1,300 years later! ”

"1,300 years, 1,300 years"

Wu Gang muttered this sentence silently, obviously not knowing that more than 1,300 years had passed, he was sentenced to live forever here, time had no meaning to him at all, and he himself had no way to record time!

After a few more words, Wu Gang suddenly looked at Gao Yang and said, "Little brother, are you interested in hearing my story?" ”

Gao Yang heard this. Suddenly came to his senses, in fact, he was originally going to ask about this matter, but since Wu Gang took the initiative to say it now, it happened to be his wish, so he hurriedly nodded.

Wu Gang sat down against the laurel tree, then looked into the distance and slowly told his story.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a great plague in a place called Xianning, and this plague was menacing. It immediately took the lives of a third of the people, and people tried almost all the methods to no avail, so they could only wait for death to come.

And at this time, at the foot of Xianning's Hanging List Mountain. There was a young man, his name was Wu Gang, and his mother was also infected by the plague and was bedridden for a while. Although he knew that ordinary medicine could not cure the plague, Wu Gang still insisted on going up the mountain every day to collect medicine, and then tried to use various methods to treat his mother.

Maybe it's really an eye-opener. On this day, Guanyin Bodhisattva returned from his eastward trip, and was about to rush back to the west sky, when passing through this place, he happened to see Wu Gang was collecting medicine on the cliff, Guanyin Bodhisattva was deeply moved, and gave Wu Gang a dream that night.

Guanyin Bodhisattva told Wu Gang that there was a tree called Muxi, also known as the Osmanthus Tree, in the Moon Palace, which had a small golden flower, and if you soak it in water and drink it, you can cure this plague.

But Wu Gang was very distressed at that time, because he was just a mortal, how could he go to the Moon Palace?

However, Guanyin Bodhisattva told him that every August 15 of the mountain, there will be a ladder leading directly to the Moon Palace, and then he can pedal the ladder to the Moon Palace to pick osmanthus flowers.

This day happens to be August 12, and there are less than a few days to go is August 15, and the place that Guanyin Bodhisattva said is on the top of the mountain, to reach where you must pass through seven deep streams, seven cliffs and hanging rocks, and it takes at least seven days and seven nights!

But Wu Gang didn't have that much time, because the ladder to the moon would only appear on the night of August 15 when the moon was at its fullest, and if he missed this time, he would not be able to reach the moon and pick osmanthus flowers, and at that time, his mother and all those who had the plague would die!

Wu Gang had no choice, after saying goodbye to his mother, wife and children, he went out, he did not eat, drink or sleep, and finally came to the top of the mountain on the night of August 15, and climbed the ladder to the Moon Palace.

In August, it was the season when the osmanthus flowers were fragrant, Wu Gang followed the fragrance to find the legendary osmanthus tree, looking at the osmanthus tree in front of him, Wu Gang was naturally very happy in his heart, because as long as these osmanthus flowers were brought to the world, then his mother and those who had the plague would be saved!

But when Wu Gang came to the side of the ladder with the picked osmanthus flowers, he was dumbfounded, only to see that the ladder that was still there just now suddenly disappeared, it turned out that the ladder could only be stored for one night, and now it is the next day!

Wu Gang was very anxious in his heart, he didn't think about how he should go back, but thought about how to bring these osmanthus flowers to the world.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a way, he stood directly on the moon and scattered all the osmanthus flowers, so that the osmanthus flowers fell directly to the world, so that all those who had the plague would be saved!

Sure enough, as he expected, the osmanthus flowers fell into a small river under the list of mountains, dyed the river water golden, fragrant, and the world drank the water in the river, and the plague on the body was cured!

Wu Gang saved his mother and all those who were plagued, but he couldn't save himself, and without the ladder, he was trapped in the Moon Palace and couldn't return to the world.

At this time, the fact that he stole osmanthus was also known to the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor was furious, but what Wu Gang did was a righteous thing, and the Jade Emperor was not easy to sentence heavily, and finally punished him for cutting down the immortal osmanthus tree that he had stolen the osmanthus on the moon.

The immortal laurel tree is also a magic weapon, up to 500 zhang, the leaves are all generated from gold, and it is called immortal, how can it be so easy to be cut down?

The immortal laurel tree was cut down and merged, and the Jade Emperor used this kind of never-ending labor to punish Wu Gang.

There is no concept of time here, so Wu Gang doesn't know how long it has been, until Gao Yang came, he didn't know that 1,300 years had passed!

Listening to Wu Gang finish telling the story, Gao Yang suddenly raised his head, and his eyes were full of golden leaves on the laurel tree.

"The immortal laurel tree is about 500 zhang tall, and its leaves are all made of gold."

Wu's words just now rang in his ears again.

Gao Yang was a little stupid when he saw it.

Where is this immortal laurel tree! It's a cash cow!

No, I've got to find a way to dig it up! (To be continued.) )
