The Fourth Age, the Heavenly Court Chapter 3 The Gathering of Heavenly Immortals
In the banquet hall, a row of flowing water banquets has been set up to fill the long table. Busy in the banquet was a group of graceful little fairies. Their delicate faces all show the charm and beauty of Chu Chu and the beauty and food. They are dressed in cicada saro skirts of different colors, showing off their charming figures that are soft and charming.
The fairies are like colorful butterflies, accompanied by the fresh and refined fragrance, shuttling through every corner of the hall. They came and went, and they were very busy.
At the feast, herbs and flowers filled the dining table, dotting the corners and corners of the banquet. The sumptuous cuisine is full of fragrant aromas and colors, which will inevitably make people salivate. Look at all kinds of fairy fruit plates, fairy vegetable plates, dim sum plates, delicacies plates, and food plates. Except for meat (because most of the immortals are cultivated by humans and animals for thousands of years. Therefore, they will never eat the flesh and blood of their own kind. In addition, there are all kinds of fairy food and fairy flavors.
The smell of fragrance has already spread, and the smell of fresh fragrance has already filled the entire hall. In fact, after the commendation meeting, the gods did not leave in order to participate in the welcome banquet. Moreover, the immortals came to the heavenly court to gather this time, firstly, they were invited by the Emperor of Heaven and the Heavenly Mother, and secondly, they came to see the demeanor of Nuwa Niangniang.
Really, most of these immortals are here for Nuwa Niangniang. Some of them have known Nuwa Niangniang for a long time, but they haven't seen Niangniang for a long time, and it is true that everyone misses Niangniang. Some have heard about it for a long time, but they have never seen Nuwa Niangniang, they are admired. The immortals all regard seeing Nuwa Niangniang as the greatest honor in this life.
Today, these immortals finally have the opportunity to gather around Nuwa Niangniang. They were also very excited. Every immortal chatted without words, and everyone looked at Nuwa Niangniang with admiration, and every move of Niangniang made them admire.
Nuwa Niangniang sat peacefully on an antique fairy chair, her eyes were warm, and her words were kind. She has a good sense of humor and talks and laughs leisurely. The immortals happily sat around Niangniang, and they competed with Niangniang to ask questions and answers, showing their affection.
Taishang Laojun seemed to have seen a relative, and he spoke first: "Master Niangniang, since my mentor Hongjun Master Zun was reborn, the disciple has never seen Niangniang's Tianzi dignity. Although the disciple and the master are in the same place between the great heaven and the earth, and the disciple can only cultivate and refine the pill with the Great Chitian Palace, Niangniang, you are busy creating people with the earth of Shenzhou. And the breadth of heaven and earth is far more than just a mountain and a river, it also cuts off the disciples' affectionate thoughts about the master and Niangniang. Seriously, Niangniang, it's not the disciples who praise you, because the disciples find that you are always beautiful, beautiful and delicate, and not afraid of the change of time. Empress! What makes you keep your immortal appearance unchanged for thousands of years, and your youth is not old? And what makes you able to stay in the spring breeze for thousands of years, and the style is still the same? I don't know why? The dignity of the master always appears in front of the disciples. Maybe the dream is missing. ! Seriously, you're really trying to mess with your disciples. ”
Nuwa Niangniang couldn't listen to Taishang Laojun's meaty words, she really didn't dare to compliment such words, and she wouldn't appreciate them. Because Taishang Laojun was a disciple of Nuwa Niangniang's senior brother Hongjun Laozu and her nephew, Niangniang was not polite to him, and glanced at him with her eyes.
Nuwa Niangniang accused half-angrily and half-laughing: "Hehe! Taishang Laojun, you really don't talk like my apprentice, and you actually made a joke about your aunt. If my senior brother Hongjun is still here, I will definitely file a complaint with him and let him take care of your broken mouth. Even if he is to punish you, I think it is right. ”
Taishang Laojun saw that Nuwa Niangniang was angry with him, and knew that he had spoken. He hurriedly explained: "Master Zun Niangniang, the disciple is really cheap, he has no intention of offending Shizun, and he asks Niangniang to forgive his sins." ”
Actually, Nuwa Niangniang knows everyone's feelings, and she is not really angry. Seeing Lao Jun's restrained appearance, Niang Niang immediately changed her words and said: "I heard that Taishang Laojun is refining the elixir in the Taiqing Holy Realm every day, and he is only dedicated to goodness and blessing all sentient beings, but is there such a thing?" ”
Taishang Laojun hurriedly accompanied him with a smile and said: "Master Zun Niangniang, this is a disciple's shallow skill. Alchemy is supposed to be the world, not enough to worry about, the disciple let Niangniang you smile. ”
Nuwa Niangniang said happily: "Laojun, this is a good thing! For the things that grace the common people, each of us immortals should try our best to do it, Nuwa, I am the first to support everyone! ”
Yue Lao interjected on the side: "Nuwa Niangniang! You planted willows and scattered flowers to spread love in the world, which is the blessing of all the people in the world, and it is also the common blessing of our three worlds. As for the ministers of this queen of heaven and the queen of heaven's royal banquet, we are also stained with the brilliance of Nuwa Niangniang. Xiaoxian was fortunate to have this honor, so she thanked her mother here. ”
When Nuwa Niangniang saw that Yue Lao took the initiative to talk, she said with a smile: "By the way, Yue Lao, I came to Heaven this time, and I really have something serious to ask you for." Old! You may not know that our current world is in a period when people are first involved in the world, unruly, and childish and ignorant. Because of the needs of their place of survival, they have always lived in groups, disorderly, and chaotic. Therefore, they know their mothers but not their fathers, and their sons but their relatives. Moreover, they don't know etiquette, they don't understand the promise of men and women, and they don't know how to get along with husband and wife. I think, ah Yue Lao! You must have the power to help them. Therefore, even if my Nuwa asks for their lives, I hope that Yuelao can try her best to build bridges and provide some convenience for such people. Wouldn't it be better for them to grow old together as a husband and wife, and for their children to be happy and their families stable? ”
Yue Lao didn't wait for Niangniang to finish speaking, he said happily: "It is said that Nuwa Niangniang is kind-hearted and has the virtue of a good life. It's rare for the mother to work hard, you are really worried about and suffering a lot for the sake of the people of the world. As for the mother's command, the little god is honored, how dare he disobey it? As long as there is a word from the mother, I will do my best to do it. ”
When Nuwa Niangniang saw that Yue Lao was so cheerful, she smiled with satisfaction.
"Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate, Nuwa Niangniang is blessed with the sky, the earth is shiny, and all living beings are the hope of the common people, the blessing of all people, it is gratifying and praiseworthy, and my Buddha has benefited a lot." Amitabha Buddha came in with a compliment.
Nuwa Niangniang replied: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south! In fact, Nuwa has long known that you are the incarnation of my respected senior brother and ancestor of the Mixed Kun. Back then, the Emperor Taihuang sent you and your disciples to guide the Taoists and the quasi-Daoists to the West to practice together. Because you have developed the supreme path mind, are familiar with the Pure Land of the Buddhas, and have gone through the thoughts of the five eons, you have given birth to the 48 special vows. Since then, you have continued to accumulate merits, and before the ten eons ago, you have made a wish to complete your deeds and eventually become Amitabha Buddha in the Nam. In other words, since Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, after fifteen eons, you finally established the Western Elysium and became the leader of the Western Elysium. ”
Amitabha Buddha clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Holy Venerable Niangniang Buddha is high! It turns out that the Holy Venerable Niangniang has long been aware of everything, which is really admirable! ”
Nuwa Niangniang said again: "The Buddha may not know that after your disciple received the Taoist to follow you to the West, he stayed at the Wang Buddha to practice. In the future, he will preach the Dharma in the Western Pure Land of Bliss, which is far from this 10 trillion Buddha land, and guide those who recite the Buddha to be reborn in the Western Pure Land. In the end, he will also change his identity and incarnate as the Buddha of Shakyamuni, which is a later story. ”
Amitabha Buddha was shocked when he heard this, and he said, "Amitabha! The Holy Venerable Nuwa Niangniang is really sacred, and what she has seen and heard is really extraordinary. ”
Niangniang said again: "Amitabha! Not only that, but another disciple of yours, Zhun Ti Daoist, do you know where he is? Because he saved people in the Six Realms, he finally went through several calamities, and now he has just turned into a Bodhi ancestor. ”
"There is also nothingness, heaven and earth are void, the heart must be formal, and there is no heart. Nuwa Niangniang is high-spirited and bright, turning nothing into something, turning decay into magic, she is really the husband of the middle woman, and the disciples are admirable. ”
It's really about who arrived, Nuwa Niangniang and Amitabha Buddha were talking, and Bodhi Ancestor broke in from the outside, and he was full of truth as soon as he came.
"You Bodhi Ancestor, you will also be yin and yang, whether everything is good or bad in the world, whether it is virtual or real, it is inconvenient to comment at will. Fortunately, the gods are in the sky, and the earth is in the people, and it is also a pleasure to help and coexist together. However, you talk about it, and Nuwa has benefited a lot. Nuwa Niangniang pretended to be angry and said.
Bodhi apologized and said, "Master Zun Niangniang! The disciple didn't dare to offend, it was just a joke, and the master was not to blame. ”
"Your Bodhi is not serious, and in my opinion, your theory is not high, and your avenue is not the right path." Nuwa Niangniang is unrelenting.
Bodhi said: "The Buddha is on the right path, and he can't laugh, so please spare the mother." ”
"Bodhi Ancestor, Nuwa will spare you for the time being, because I value you very much. And everything in the world will be determined by you in the future. For the calamity of sentient beings, we should be merciful, save the suffering, and save them from fire and water. ”
Niangniang still has high hopes for Bodhi Ancestor, and she is half-joking like this, which makes Bodhi Ancestor nervous. Seeing Niangniang's smile, the heart that the ancestor was carrying finally let go.
At this time, Fuxian Zhenren knelt down and stepped forward again: "I have long heard that the ancestor is prestigious, and today I can see Rumu Sanchun, the glory of the ancestor, shining in my heart, but the disciple is only shallow in learning, and I don't know the essentials, and I hope that Nuwa Niangniang will not hesitate to teach." ”
Nuwa Niangniang saw that Fuxian Zhenren was so sincere and afraid, so she spurred and said: "Since ancient times, the back waves of the river have pushed the front waves, and the blue is better than the blue." I don't think ambition is in being old, and talent is not in being young. I believe that as long as you have the heart, there is nothing you can't do, because the hope of the future is pinned on you. ”
Nuwa Niangniang talked a lot, and Fuxian Zhenren really benefited a lot, so he said sincerely: "Thank you Niangniang for your teachings." ”
At this time, I saw a person walking in from the outside, everyone was shocked, and they greeted him one after another, and the person who came was actually Yuan Shi Tianzun. Nuwa Niangniang said happily: "Yuan Shi Tianzun, since you were resurrected, you have been busy breeding human gods and building heavenly ladders. After that, you lose your voice. Seeing it today, I am really happy to be a teacher. But when you come back this time, why don't you see Emperor Fuxi going with you? ”
Yuan Shi Tianzun arched his hand and said: "Master Nuwa Niangniang, thank you for your concern." It's just that Emperor Fuxi has something important to do, so he has gone away and traveled all over the world. In fact, after we built the ladder, the emperor couldn't wait, and he embarked on a journey of thousands of miles without looking back. The Emperor said he was going to find something very important for his beloved. The disciple asked him what it was? But the emperor never said anything.
Master Nuwa Niangniang! You know the situation of your disciples. But you don't know, today I will tell you about me. Back then, after I became a feather, my master Hongjun Ancestor was heartbroken, and he traveled all over the three mountains and five mountains to gather my three souls and six spirits one by one. Then, his old man spit out his Huaqing Pill and brought me back to life, and then his old man ran out of spirit and passed away.
So, I shed my body and returned to my mortal form, wandering between heaven and earth. However, since Shi Zun Niangniang created all things in heaven and earth and human beings, many mortals, animals, and plants have become half-human and half-god, or half-god, half-demon immortal bodies, after years of cultivation, and they are eager to ascend to immortals. In order to facilitate the people and gods, the Emperor Taihuang sent me and Emperor Fuxi to erect a ladder on the top of the Five Mountains, so that the immortal cultivators could come and go freely.
After the ladder was repaired, I founded the 'Explanation Teaching' in the Yuxu Cave of Kunlun Mountain. Therefore, immortals from all walks of life came one after another, and they sought scriptures and preached and practiced the Fa. There are many excellent ones, and I will take them under the door. They have a total of twelve Jin Xian disciples, and they are known as the twelve golden immortals. They are: Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Huanglong Zhenren, Taiyi Zhenren, Yuding Zhenren, Fear Liusun, Lingbao Grand Master, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, Fuxian Zhenren, Cihang Dao Ren, Daode Tianzun, Qingxu Moral True Monarch, these twelve new immortals.
They have been indoctrinated and worked tirelessly for many years. In the end, heaven and man will be united, all things will return to their ancestors, and the future will be determined. Master Zun Niangniang, in fact, there are many credits for you. Your kindness, how can I, the First Heavenly Venerable, forget? Master Zun Niangniang! The disciple came this time, and he also came to express his gratitude to Niangniang, and the disciple came to celebrate your achievements this time. ”
As soon as Yuan Shi Tianzun mentioned Hongjun Ancestor, Nuwa Niangniang was very sad. She sighed and praised: "Senior Brother Hongjun is kind-hearted, sincere and sincere, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life in the Three Realms and martyred himself, and his great deeds are really moving." Yuan Shi Tianzun, as a proud disciple of your master, you are also well-versed in the Immortal Dao, and your wisdom is boundless. This is the only way to promote the immortal fate between heaven and earth, and the common prosperity of man and god, which is very praiseworthy. It's just that Emperor Fuxi can't come, and everyone not only feels a little regretful. ”
While everyone was chatting energetically, another white-bearded old man came from outside. He turned out to be a disciple of Yuan Shi Tianzun - Antarctic Immortal Weng, and when Xian Weng saw Yuan Shi Tianzun, he knelt down and kowtowed.
Yuan Shi Tianzun introduced that in addition to the twelve golden immortals, the Antarctic Immortals, the Burning Lamp Dao and Yun Zhongzi were all his disciples. At this time, all the immortals approached one after another, communicating comfortably with Nuwa Niangniang and Yuan Shi Tianzun, and chatting with Nuwa Niangniang very enthusiastically.
"Antarctic Immortal, what are you doing here, I haven't talked to Nuwa Niangniang yet." Seeing the immortal Weng coming, Taiyi Zhenren joked.
"Okay, you Taiyi Zhenren, I kindly came to ask you to dine, but you didn't appreciate it. I see, if you don't eat it, it's okay. Nuwa Niangniang! Master! It's noon, so let's take your seats. ”
"Oh no, no, someone is tied up." Seeing a group of people breaking in outside the hall, a few little fairy children pushed and shoved, and tied Tianlong and Tianfeng firmly and grabbed them in.
