Chapter Twenty-Nine

The Queen Mother of the West returned to Heaven and has been living in the Queen Mother's Palace by the Yao Pond. The clear water of the Yao Pond in front of the Queen Mother Palace, and there are thousands of peach orchards in the Queen Mother Palace. The peach orchard of the Queen Mother of the West has always been a wonder of the heavenly realm, the small peach tree is ripe for 3,000 years, and people eat it and keep fit, and become immortals; The average peach tree is ripe once in 6,000 years, and people eat it and rise in the day, and they are immortal; It is best to be cooked for 9,000 years, and people eat it with the same life as heaven and earth, and with the sun and the moon. On the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West, coinciding with the ripening of the peaches of the small peach tree, Tianjun held a grand banquet by the Yao Pond, inviting all the gods and goddesses to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West. So the gods of the sea, land and air gathered in Yaochi. I have been living in Xiaoxiang Pavilion and staying at home, in order not to meet the Queen Mother of the West, but I can't avoid such a grand event anyway. So I dressed up to attend.

When I came to the Queen Mother's Palace with Jin'er, I saw the thick haze incense, the water cloud shadow, the Jade Emperor Golden Garden, the Baolu Fairy Palace, the flowers and trees in front of the court, the phoenix leaping fish and dragon game, the flowers bloomed everywhere The gods were full, and the spring breeze was full of laughter and laughter.

Before the birthday celebration, I tried my best to find an inconspicuous place to sit down, and when I looked up, there were all unfamiliar faces. Of course, the familiar faces were of higher rank, and they all sat near the Queen Mother and the Heavenly Monarch.

In front of the desk next to me sat a martial god with his head and eyebrows stretched out, and he was staring at me intently with a glass cup in his hand. I was stunned, and I secretly wondered in my heart how could this immortal be so unreasonable? Out of politeness, I smiled at him, but he trembled, and the glass cup in his hand fell on the desk, and rolled from the desk to the ground, shattering into a pile of jade shavings. The sound was not loud at first, but it was not small in the silence of the scene before the grand event. On the high throne, the Queen Mother and Heavenly Monarch turned their eyes to our side, and my heart palpitated, and I secretly screamed badly. I only heard the Queen Mother of the West ask Tai Bai Xing: "Tai Bai, who is so reckless?" ”

Tai Bai Xing got up and replied: "The Queen Mother of Qi is the new curtain general. ”

"How can you serve in Heaven with such a careless hand? Relegate to the Nether! "The Queen Mother of the West will do it as soon as she gives the order.

The general of the curtain had already gotten up and knelt on the ground, and was pulled down by the heavenly soldiers and generals with great gratitude. I felt like I was panicked by someone's heavy punch, and the hundred immortals at the banquet were even more in danger, and they didn't dare to come out. I was nervous, blaming myself for dragging down the curtain general, and I heard Tianjun cough lightly, and said, "Concubine Xiang, why do you sit down, come here, sit at the bottom of me." ”

Tianjun had already prepared an empty case for me, I had to get up hard, pretend to be calm, walk to the position and sit down, Tianjun smiled with satisfaction, I also gave him a light smile, who knew that at this moment my heart is turning upside down. The Queen Mother of the West is so autocratic, how much cultivation does the curtain general have to spend to rank in the immortal state, just because she accidentally broke a cup and was beaten back to its original shape, and the thousand years of penance were ruined, how can I feel good in my heart? Such punishment came from my otherwise good-natured polite smile. My six gods glanced uneasily across the side to the cold gaze cast by the moon god, who was sitting under the Queen Mother of the West, and raised her eyebrows defiantly at me. I sighed secretly in my heart, thinking that my mother-in-law cured her yin and yang imbalance, and my credit, and now she is taking revenge on Enjiang everywhere, I am really speechless.

The feast begins, the singing and dancing level up, and the scene is bustling. The gods and immortals gave birthday gifts to the Queen Mother of the West in turn, endless scenes, endless flattery, the Queen Mother of the West sat upright, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of smug smiles in the spring breeze.

Chang'e walked up respectfully with the jade sandalwood elixir, and suddenly the rich fragrance of osmanthus wafted all over the Yao Pond, and even the auspicious clouds in the sky were filled with the fragrance of cinnamon. She knelt down in the hall and offered the elixir and said: "Chang'e thanks the queen mother for lifting the ban on the grounding, and specially presents the osmanthus elixir, please taste the queen mother, and wish the queen mother a birthday Kangtai and blessings." ”

The queen mother was very satisfied, and after a glance, Xian'e beside her immediately stepped down to take Chang'e's osmanthus elixir and present it to the queen mother. The Heavenly Monarch was filial, and diligently filled the golden bottle in front of her with wine, and then raised his wine cup and said to the Queen Mother of the West: "Mother, son wishes you to always be as young and beautiful as you are now." ”

Women are those who please themselves, even the Queen Mother of the West, who is in power in the Three Realms, cannot escape the vanity of women's beauty. She happily clinked glasses with Tianjun, and drank the wine in the cup with her neck tilted. The feast was about to continue, and the hundred immortals were about to raise their glasses to wish the Queen Mother of the West a happy birthday, when suddenly the Queen Mother's face changed suddenly, and with a loud roar, the leopard's tail and tiger teeth were revealed. The audience was shocked, and the Heavenly Monarch was busy ordering the Heavenly Maiden to help the Queen Mother of the West back to **. Chang'e was already frightened, her face was already earthless, she trembled like chaff, and sat down on the ground. I looked at her anxiously, unable to think of anything. At such a big event, let the Queen Mother of the West make such a big ugly, Chang'e is dead.

Tianjun's face was gloomy, and his voice was cold, "Chang'e, what's going on?" ”

Chang'e slammed to the ground, "Chang'e doesn't know why such a thing happened?" ”

"You don't know the way, who knows the way?" At this moment, it is the moon god who is avoiding the pit and falling into the well. It was better that she didn't speak, but as soon as she spoke, I suddenly became suspicious of her. On that day, I went to Chixia Palace to find her to rescue Chang'e, and bumped into her handing over a jade bottle to Xian'e, and asked Xian'e to irrigate the laurel tree in Guanghan Palace while no one was ready. This osmanthus elixir is taken from the flowers of the osmanthus tree, and the only possibility that makes the Queen Mother of the West so ugly is that the moon god has done something in the bottle of irrigation water. His heart is too evil!

The Heavenly Monarch has already given the order, "Put Chang'e on death row." ”

I snapped up: "Wait! ”

The Heavenly Monarch and the Hundred Immortals of Wenwu all stared at me, and I didn't care about anything else and suddenly got up. Chang'e is my friend, my friend was framed, how can I sit idly by and be alone? I'm not a sensible person. In front of everyone's eyes, I walked to Chang'e and knelt down, and reported everything I saw that day to the Heavenly King, and asked the Heavenly Monarch to thoroughly investigate the matter of the osmanthus elixir. Even if the Heavenly Monarch believed in me, how could the Moon God let me seize this opportunity to bring her down? When she scolded me for being in a gang with Chang'e, I was so annoyed at my recklessness, I should have stood still and waited for the opportunity to rescue Chang'e, but unfortunately it was too late.

The moon god sneered: "Who doesn't know that Concubine Xiang and Fairy Chang'e are close?" Who doesn't know that Concubine Xiang is disrespectful to the Queen Mother? On the day the queen mother returned to heaven, she rewarded Concubine Xiang for kneeling, Concubine Xiang must have a grudge, right? Let the queen mother make a fool of herself at the peach event, I'm afraid Concubine Xiang won't be able to escape the involvement, right? Concubine Xiang and Chang'e should be accomplices, and they also asked the Heavenly Monarch to cut it and vent this evil breath for the Queen Mother! ”

I'm like being struck by lightning. How did I get the moon god? In terms of scheming and conspiracy, I am no match for her at all, not to mention that this premeditated plot has been clearly planned for a long time, and it has been painstakingly calculated, and my reckless defense of Chang'e is really pale, ridiculous, and unconvincing.

The dark clouds rolled on the face of the Heavenly Monarch, he stared at me, as if he was weighing the truth of the words of the moon god, a chill hit me in my heart, and when Chang'e looked at me with desperate and painful eyes, I knew that I was also in a catastrophe.

Tai Bai Xing had already gotten up and said: "Heavenly Monarch, the old minister thinks that what the Moon God said is extremely true, please Heavenly Monarch punish Concubine Xiang and Chang'e!" ”

"Please punish Concubine Xiang and Chang'e!" Hundreds of immortals responded to each other.

My hands and feet were cold, and the chill swept through my body.

Wu Gang strode up, knelt beside Chang'e, and said, "Tianjun, you can't make a conclusion without investigation!" How could Chang'e do something to make the Queen Mother ugly? This is a capital offense! ”

Before Tianjun could react, the Moon God had already gotten up and reprimanded in a fierce voice: "Wu Gang, you and Fairy Chang'e have always been ambiguous, and today you dare to help Chang'e and Concubine Xiang exonerate with righteousness?" The facts are in front of you, and the Heavenly Monarch has his own clear judgment, how can you be confused? ”

I took a deep look, my voice trembled, my lips and tongue seemed to be peeled off from my body, and I said tremblingly: "Heavenly Monarch, please thoroughly investigate the matter of the osmanthus elixir, no matter how stupid Chang'e and I are, it is impossible for Chang'e and I to make the Queen Mother ugly at such a grand event, this is a capital crime, and Jiangzhu and Chang'e will never be so stupid." ”

The moon god immediately became aggressive: "Concubine Xiang, don't take advantage of the heavenly monarch's compassion for you, the facts are in front of you, the osmanthus elixir is offered by Chang'e, the queen mother drank the changes in her body, and the immortals can see it, no matter how clever your tongue is, don't think about it for Chang'e." You are angry with Chang'e, embarrassed, trying to blame me, what are you not an accomplice to the matter of osmanthus elixir? The Heavenly Monarch is kind to you, but you can't take him for a fool! ”

fanning the flames like this, the Heavenly Monarch has the heart to forgive me, and I don't dare to openly show favoritism, so I just heard him say gloomily: "Beat Concubine Xiang and Chang'e to death...... Let's talk about it in prison! ”

My body went limp, and once I was in prison, who could help me clear my name? Over there, Wu Gang had already taken Chang'e's hand and flew out of Yaochi with lightning speed. I was shocked, and I listened to the moon god: "Wu Gang dares to escape with the death row prisoners of the Heavenly Court, and the heavenly soldiers and generals are not quick to chase after him?" "With an order, more than 100 heavenly soldiers and generals flew away quickly." The sound of the wind passed by in my ears fiercely, and before I could come back to my senses, my body was fished out, and I flew up in the air, and someone took me to escape? Who is it? Of course, I know in my heart who that person is? Shen Ying went to Kunlun, who else in the heavenly realm cares about my life and death? Except for Yang Jian, there is no one else. My eyes swelled and ached in the whirring wind, and hot tears flowed down my face.

Yang Jian's long cloak was hunting and spreading in the wind, and I told myself that if I could survive this time, I would make a new cloak for Yang Jian. Don't be black, but red, because he is a hot-blooded male god, and black is not his symbol.

Rushing all the way to the South Heavenly Gate, Wu Gang and Chang'e had already started a desperate struggle with the heavenly soldiers and generals. On our side, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals also outflanked me, and Yang Jian grabbed my hand while fighting with the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.

In the depths of the clouds, Jin'er flew out, and she said loudly: "General Yang, my sister will hand it over to me, and you will resist the heavenly soldiers and generals!" As he spoke, he pulled me from Yang Jian's hand, my eyes were hot, and my heart was full of emotion. Silly Jin'er, do you know that you are making enemies of the Heavenly Court, but I am afraid that there is only a dead end in the future. I blamed myself for never really accepting her into my heart.

Yang Jian was convinced, put my hand into Jin'er's hand with confidence, and instructed: "Jin'er, you take your master to escape from Nantianmen, and I will break the queen!" ”

At this moment, the Nantianmen is in chaos, the heavenly soldiers and generals are fighting with Wu Gang Chang'e, and Yang Jian has joined the war, the guards are lax, and there is no need to hesitate, Jin'er and I have quickly flown out of the Nantianmen. On the cloud trail, Jin'er pulled me straight to Kunlun.

Landing on the top of Kunlun Mountain, I was about to thank Jin'er, but she showed a treacherous smile, and then took out the jade flute and blew it. The sound of the jade flute, eight carp fairies fell from the sky, they stood behind Jin'er, quickly lined up for battle, I was stunned for a while, the people in front of me, is it an enemy or a friend?
