Chapter 35 Medicine
"I'll let them come over tonight." Tianjun said, smiled slightly, and strode away.
Looking at the back of the Heavenly Monarch, I was not very embarrassed in the bamboo forest.
*********************************************************
At night, when I asked Xian'e to clean up the house where Zijuan and Po-in-law had slept in the house, Bao Chan and Yu'er arrived. Because of Chang'e and Wu Gang's elopement, both of them were in a low mood at that time. I deliberately avoided the topic of Chang'e, watched them tidy up their belongings, and said goodnight to them.
When he returned to Cuizhuxuan to bathe and change clothes, he was about to rest, when there was a knock on the door.
"Who?" I asked.
"Concubine Xiang, it's us." Bao Chan and Yu'er's voices, I hurriedly opened the door.
As soon as the two of them entered the door, they knelt down in front of me, and I took a step back and wondered, "Bao Chan, Yu'er, what are you doing here?" ”
The two of them bowed deeply to the ground. Yu'er said: "Concubine Xiangniang, we are worried about the safety of Fairy Chang'e, I don't know what happened to her now." ”
"I heard that the bead on the top of Concubine Xiang's head has the function of going up and falling into the yellow spring, please take a look at the whereabouts of Fairy Chang'e." Bao Toad Road.
I lifted them up from the ground, and I couldn't help but be moved by the loyalty of these two silly girls.
"I promise you, don't kneel."
I began to meditate on the couch and cast spells, and when the red light of the red pearl above my head was great, a crystal curtain was slowly opened in front of us like a scroll, and the curtain was a green mountain and green water, and the bamboo fence hut was beautiful. An acre of farmland in front of the hut, the man who is sowing seeds in the field is none other than Wu Gang. His coarse linen clothes are no different from ordinary peasants. Under the scorching sun, he sweated like rain and sprinkled rapeseeds, and his bare feet sank into the black dirt, pulling out and sinking back in. A peasant woman walked on the ridge, her clothes were simple, but her appearance was not good, she was Chang'e. With a basket on her arm, she walked towards Wu Gang with a smile.
"Xianggong, it's time to eat." Chang'e, dressed as a peasant woman, beckoned to Wu Gang, who was dressed as a peasant.
Wu Gang put down the farm work in his hand and walked to Chang'e, Chang'e put the basket on the ridge, uncovered the cloth towel at the mouth of the basket, and brought out a simple but unique meal and handed it to Wu Gang, Wu Gang sat on the ridge and devoured it, while Chang'e sat on the side, looking at him stupidly, with a smile of satisfaction and admiration in her eyes. Chang'e took out a handkerchief to wipe Wu Gang's sweat, and Wu Gang gave her a bright smile back. The picture of the curtain is frozen in that flawless and beautiful moment. The red light of the beads went out, and where the curtain disappeared, Bao Chan and Yu'er and I were still immersed in the idyllic life of Chang'e and Wu Gang for a long time.
"The fairy and Brother Wu Gang are living so quietly and happily!" Bao Toad sighed.
Yu'er said: "Then I can rest assured." ”
But I always felt an indescribable faint worry in my heart: how could the Heavenly Monarch allow them to be at ease in the Nether? I don't know what hidden dangers lie behind such a seemingly peaceful happiness as Lu Dao?
******************************************************
Bao Chan and Yu'er lived in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and my lonely life finally had some fun.
Because the condition of the leopard tail tiger tooth of the Western Queen Mother has not improved, the entire heavenly court is panicked. The Heavenly Monarch dealt with a group of Immortal Doctor Pavilion's divine doctors, and because they were not effective in treatment, the Heavenly Monarch demoted them to the lower realm on the grounds that their medical skills were not good enough to sell their reputation. The entire Heavenly Court was even more gloomy and miserable, and there was no sign of peace and auspiciousness in the past.
Listening to the discussions of the immortals, the Heavenly Monarch often lashes out on the Lingxiao Palace, and as soon as there is a disturbance in the Three Realms, he dethrones a group of immortals, and everyone in the entire immortal state is in danger. I have the heart to persuade me, but I feel that I have my own strength, why should I use my mantis arm as a car?
I didn't go out of the door of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but someone still came to the door, and it was a nightingale.
It has nothing to do with the nightingale, when he first arrived in the heavenly court, the heavenly monarch set up a banquet to catch the wind, and invited the nightingale to sing at the banquet, which was regarded as a meeting, and since then they rarely met, and when they met, they were just dragonflies and water, and they smiled implicitly.
On this day, when Xian'e introduced the nightingale into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I couldn't help but be taken aback.
When the nightingale saw me, she wept bitterly and fell to the ground. I was busy with Bao Chan and Yu'er to help her up, but I saw that she was disheveled and her clothes were untidy, so she was embarrassed.
I was about to ask her about the reason, and Xian'e came to report that the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals came to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and said that they wanted to enter the museum to search for people, and the nightingale was so frightened that the whole body trembled. As soon as the nightingale walked on the front foot, the heavenly soldier and the heavenly general broke in on the hind foot. The heavenly general headed by him was still polite, and after asking for peace, he said the reason: "Qi Xiang Concubine Niangniang, search for the whereabouts of the nightingale fairy at the bewill of the heavenly monarch, and ask the mother to forgive her sins if she is offended." So saying, he went into the inner room to search for people.
I sat in the courtyard, put up the shelf, and said coldly: "What a boldness, the search people actually found the Xiaoxiang Pavilion." What kind of place is Xiaoxiang Pavilion, except for Tianjun, who dares to trespass? "What I said is not true at all, there should be no one in the heavenly realm who knows the preferential treatment of the Heavenly Monarch to me.
The leading heavenly general hesitated: "However, Weichen is following the will of the Heavenly Monarch......"
"Since the Heavenly Monarch wants to search for people, the Heavenly Monarch will come to search for him, and he doesn't have to do it for the general." I kept my eyebrows raised and my expression condensed.
I was still hesitating that day, and I said, "I have no relationship with the Nightingale Fairy, how can she hide in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion?" If the Emperor blames the general, I will speak for the general, and the general can just put the blame on me. ”
The heavenly general shrank for a moment, bowed his head and said, "Weichen doesn't dare." ”
"Since you don't dare, you won't retreat." Yu'er shouted.
Although the general was reluctant that day, he waved his hand and led a group of heavenly soldiers to withdraw from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Yu'er had already ordered Gong'e to close the door of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and instructed: "If anyone leaks the news, they will bear the consequences." "The words of threats are conclusive, and the immortals are as timid as rats and dare not make mistakes.
I entered Cuizhuxuan, Yu'er went to find Bao Toad, and the two brought the nightingale to me. Nightingale looked tear-stained and frightened, and I said with a pleasant face: "Since the fairy came to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to find me, I think I trust Jiangzhu, the fairy is in trouble, as long as Jiangzhu can help, I will not shirk it." ”
Yu'er brought a seat to the nightingale, and Ai Ai sat down during the nightingale's period, and Fang trembled and said tremblingly: "There is a divine doctor in the Immortal Medicine Pavilion who is afraid of being dethroned by the Heavenly Monarch, so he said that the illness of the Queen Mother of the West can only be effective if the live animals of a thousand years of cultivation are used as medicine, so Xiaoxian was taken by the Heavenly Monarch, but Xiaoxian doesn't want to be introduced by medicine, and he doesn't want his thousand-year-old practice to be ruined. If Xiaoxian is punished by the Heavenly Monarch for any mistakes, then Xiaoxian has nothing to say, but Xiaoxian has always followed the rules, why should he sacrifice himself for the illness of the Queen Mother of the West? Xiaoxian is unwilling, and he must pay attention to consensual thinking to sacrifice himself to help others, isn't he? ”
The nightingale speaks sharply, but it is reasonable, and it is fun to help others, but if you want to help others, you will not make people happy, and you will lose the meaning of helping others.
"What you say is reasonable, but the Queen Mother of the West is the mother of the Heavenly Monarch, how can you not make sacrifices for her?" I was embarrassed.
The nightingale "Puff Tong" knelt in front of me, took my hand and begged: "Concubine Xiang, Tianjun has always respected you, and you can always listen to your words, Xiaoxian is selfish, Xiaoxian doesn't want to sacrifice herself to help others, please ask Xiangfei Niangniang to intercede with Tianjun for Xiaoxian, let him choose another lover as a medicine, Xiaoxian is really unwilling." Xiaoxian doesn't want to die! The nightingale burst into tears.
Bao Toad and Yu'er looked at each other and looked at me with embarrassment, and I helped Nightingale to stand up and said, "Jiangzhu tries her best, but there is no guarantee that she will be able to convince the Heavenly Monarch." ”
"Thank you Concubine Xiang! Thank you Concubine Xiang! "The nightingale had already kowtowed like garlic, and she was sure that I would succeed in persuading the Emperor to change his mind, but I myself had no such confidence.
Let Xian'e take the nightingale to the inner room to continue to hide it, I said to Bao Chan and Yu'er: "You two should not leave the Xiaoxiang Pavilion during this time, the divine doctor said that the illness of the Queen Mother of the West needs a thousand years of cultivation of live animals as medicine, and the conditions of the two of you are also met, one is a thousand-year toad, and the other is a thousand-year-old jade rabbit, so you two should also be more careful." ”
Bao Chan and Yu'er had already been frightened and their faces changed greatly.
I comforted them and said, "But you two are now from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, presumably the Heavenly Monarch will not ask you two to be medicine guides for the time being." ”
**********************************************
I didn't rush to plead with the Heavenly Monarch, but quietly came to the Guanghan Palace. Chang'e was in love, Bao Chan and Yu'er moved to Xiaoxiang Pavilion again, and the immortals of Guanghan Palace were all assigned to other palaces to take up jobs, and the entire Guanghan Palace seemed deserted.
When I arrived at the Guanghan Palace, a slanting sun was projecting on the tall laurel tree in the courtyard. The osmanthus flowers are still golden and fragrant, but the flowers and leaves are covered with cobwebs, and small spiders crawl around on the white cobwebs.
I stood under the laurel tree and looked up, trying to find out something from the flowers and leaves. Compared with the osmanthus wall in the Han realm of the Chu River, these osmanthus flowers are fuller, the flower color is more golden, the floral fragrance is richer, and the flowers and leaves are more fertile. It's just that these are not surprising, she is the king of guizi flowers, and her outstanding growth does not mean anything. The illness of the Queen Mother of the West is due to drinking the osmanthus elixir made from the osmanthus flowers watered by the moon god with a special water solution, so the flower liquid of these osmanthus flowers contains a virus that causes the lesion of the Queen Mother of the West.
I stretched out my hand, and the wind struck up, and some of the osmanthus flowers fell one after another. I reached out and grabbed a few, put them in front of my nose and sniffed them, and couldn't help but sneeze. I remembered that day when I went to Guanghan Palace, I also smelled the fragrance of cinnamon flowers, and my nose was sensitive to itch and sneezed. The special water of the moon god was poured on the laurel tree, and I should dig another section of the roots to study. So, I untied a sachet from my waist, put the cinnamon grains in it, picked a flower leaf, grabbed a small handful of soil, dug up a small piece of tree roots, and put it into the sachet. Hanging the sachet on his waist, he turned around and was about to leave, when the palace door creaked open, and a young man in white flashed in. I was startled, and when I looked at it, it was Shen Ying, and my whole person immediately froze like a thunderbolt and lightning.
