The Twelfth Period, Later Yi Chang'e Chapter 7 Wu Gang and Gui

Ever since Chang'e swallowed the immortal elixir, she had involuntarily flew to the moon. There was no one else on the moon but her lonely figure. Since then, the cold and cold Guanghan Palace has become Chang'e's own exclusive shelter.

Every day, Chang'e wanders alone among the gorgeous and icy palaces. There was no one to give her warmth, no one to care for her, and no one to listen to her heartfelt sorrow.

When Chang'e was hungry, she went to eat the ice flowers in the Moon Altar, and when she was thirsty, she drank the ice water between the flowers and plants, and when she was sleepy, she curled up on the ice crystal jade bed in the Guanghan Palace and slept alone. She pillows on ice pillows, and she covers them with ice veils. Every time she woke up from a dream, she would call Hou Yi's name and tremble.

When Chang'e misses Hou Yi, she will run to a moon mound outside the palace. She used to stand there all day looking at the big blue earth. Ah, that's beautiful! It's beautiful! That's my home, and my Houyi is on that big blue ball.

Whenever this happens, Chang'e will always let go of her throat and shout loudly to the earth: "Hey! Hou Yi! Did you miss me? But, I miss you! I miss you so much! I miss you so much! Do you know? Do you know? I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you so hard! Woo------"

Chang'e has been working hard in the Moon Palace, and I don't know how many years have passed, she waits for the moon every day, and she is in a daze every day at everything on the moon. On this day, Chang'e came to the laurel tree, but unexpectedly saw a tree cutter coming down from the five-hundred-zhang high laurel tree.

The man was thin and unpretentious, but his eyes were piercing. Moreover, since the moment that person saw Chang'e, he has been staring at Chang'e intently, and his eyes are very warm when he looks at Chang'e.

Chang'e was very happy when she finally saw that someone was coming, and when she saw that it was a handsome man, she hurried over to greet him with some shyness.

Chang'e smiled at the man, "Hey, may I ask this brother, where are you from?" Do you know my husband? He's a big hero who shoots the sun, and I don't know if he's doing well now? ”

I saw that the man smiled at Chang'e, his smile was so bright, like a ray of sunshine cast into her heart. Then, he stuck out his tongue, nodded, and graciously handed Chang'e a bouquet of laurel flowers. Chang'e knew that he couldn't speak to this person.

Ever since the logger arrived, he has been cutting down trees every day. But this laurel tree is also very strange, he cut it down and gave birth, and then cut it down, and this tree is cut down as soon as it is cut, and it can not be cut down by the tree cutter.

The moon goddess Chang'e had nothing to do every day, and now she finally had a companion, and she sat next to Yuegui every day and watched the man cut down trees. Chang'e knew that the tree cutter couldn't speak, but there was always less loneliness when she was accompanied by someone, so she was content.

Sometimes, Chang'e would unconsciously watch the man cut down the tree, and say to herself: "This brother, how good it would be if you could speak." Then I can ask: How is my Houyi now, is he also missing me, is he doing well now? ”

Whenever this happens, the tree cutter always looks at Chang'e with affectionate eyes, and there seems to be indescribable feelings hidden behind his bright eyes. In this way, he will look at Chang'e uncomfortably. Due to embarrassment, Chang'e silently hid in the Guanghan Palace.

How many years have passed, and that man is still cutting down trees all the time. Not only was the miraculous laurel tree not cut down, but it was still flourishing, vibrant, and even more vigorous.

Over the years, the tree cutters have also discovered that every fifteenth night, Chang'e would go outside the empty palace to look up at the sky. At that time, she would look at the familiar land with tears in her eyes, and sing and dance towards her hometown.

The tree cutter watched Chang'e's graceful and affectionate dance with full attention, and he was moved to tears and full of emotion. He once thought to himself, how can I repay Chang'e's infatuation?

The boring days that Chang'e thought were boring became more and more boring as they passed, but later, a surprise thing made Chang'e unexpected. On this day, Chang'e came to see the tree cutters cut down the trees. The tree cutter sent the osmanthus wine he had brewed to Chang'e's eyes.

It turned out that the tree cutter always sighed when he saw Chang'e, so he collected the osmanthus flowers on the laurel tree every day and brewed a mellow and sweet osmanthus wine. When the man brought the osmanthus wine to Chang'e, Chang'e remembered the kindness of Hou Yi to her before, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

One day, two strangers suddenly came to the Moon Palace, both of whom were young men in their prime. As soon as Chang'e and the tree cutter saw the two children, they were both very happy.

Chang'e asked the eldest child, "Son, how did you get here, and what is your name?" ”

The eldest child said: "Moon Fairy Niangniang, I know who you are, you are the moon goddess we saw in the moonlit night - Chang'e." As for me, you can call me 'Drum'. ”

Chang'e asked the child again, "What about you?" Who are you, kid? ”

The second child smiled and said, "Moon Fairy, you are so beautiful." My name is 'Yan', and this time I finally met the beautiful fairy Chang'e. ”

Chang'e asked them again, "Son, there's nothing fun on the moon, what are you doing here?" ”

The eldest boy replied, "Moon Fairy, we have come to our father on the orders of our mother, and we have come this time to make amends to our father. ”

As she spoke, the two children fell to their knees before the tree cutter. When the tree cutter saw this, he was very alarmed and overwhelmed, but there was a hint of kindness in his kind eyes.

The children said, "Father, please forgive our mother, who knows that she is wrong, and she wants us to atone for her sins." ”

When the two children had finished speaking, they kowtowed to the tree cutter three times. The tree cutter couldn't speak, so he could only wave his hand and excuse himself while helping the children to get up quickly.

Just as the tree cutter bowed his head to help the children, the two children suddenly disappeared. The boss turned into a jade rabbit, and he began to bounce around Chang'e and the tree cutter. The second child turned into a golden toad, and it jumped to the altar of the moon at once, where it puffed out its belly and sang.

Since there are jade rabbits and golden toads in the Moon Palace, the entire Moon Palace has become much more lively. From then on, Chang'e and the tree cutter also had smiles on their faces, and their lonely days were gone.

Since then, there have been laughter, laughter, and laughter in the Moon Palace. In addition to the joy, they also made some musical instruments such as bells, drums, chimes, etc., and the tree cutters also made bows and arrows from the immortal laurel branches cut down.

Jade Rabbit and Jin Toad follow Chang'e with her every day, and they follow Chang'e wherever she goes. In addition to playing fairy music to Chang'e's dance, they also pounded an elixir of immortality every day.

This elixir is made by crushing the seeds, leaves, flowers, bark, and roots of the 10,000-year-old laurel into a puree. Because, Jade Rabbit and Jin Toad wanted to use this elixir to cure his father's deaf and dumb disease. Unfortunately, the tree cutter took a lot of medicine, but he never spoke.

Finally one day, the Queen Mother sent the immortal officials in the kingdom of heaven to the Moon Palace.

I only listened to the immortal official: "Yuexian Chang'e and Wu Gang received the order, and the Queen Mother Niang Yi's decree: 'Today, there is Auntie, Wu Gang both came to the Moon Palace to take office, and the two of them are the new Moon Immortals. The old minister Chang'e, Wu Gang will go to the heavenly court to take up a new position, and he admires this. ’”

Chang'e and the tree cutter hurriedly accepted the order, and they kowtowed to thank the immortal official. Just when the two of them exchanged ears and couldn't figure out what was going on, they saw a beautiful woman and another man walk out from behind the immortal official.

Chang'e and the tree cutter greeted the two men, and they went to say goodbye to the Jade Rabbit and the Golden Toad. Jade Rabbit and Jin Toad rolled and met and had to go with them, but they were stopped by the immortal official.

Although Chang'e and the others were reluctant, they couldn't take them away, so she had to tell them a few words, and they followed the immortal official to take office. Seeing that the two newcomers were left in the Moon Palace, Chang'e and the others followed the immortal official and flew in the direction of Heavenly Court.

Along the way, Chang'e asked the immortal official: "Immortal official, you are Wu Gang on the left and Wu Gang on the right, which one is called Wu Gang?" You've confused me. ”

The immortal official said: "Moon Fairy, the tree cutter in front of us is called Wu Gang, and the new young man who stayed in the Moon Palace is also called Wu Gang." ”

"Yes, you're right, I'm Wu Gang, and I'm Hou Yi."

At this time, the tree cutter beside Chang'e finally spoke. It turned out that as soon as he left the Moon Palace, the corporal punishment spell of this tree cutter was naturally unraveled, and he was able to speak.

"You, you are? You are? Chang'e opened her mouth wide in surprise, and she looked at him in a daze, and she couldn't believe herself.

I saw the tree cutter smile at her with tears in his eyes: "Yes, Chang'e, I am Hou Yi, I am your Hou Yi." Chang'e, since you flew to the Immortal that day, everything has become a mess for me. I can't stand the days without you, I can't live without you, I wait for the months and months every year, I always hope that you can come back.

From that day on, every night on the fifteenth day of August, I would wait for you with my fellow villagers under the laurel tree. We fill the courtyard with mooncakes and fruits, and then we bow to the full moon, and we look forward to your return home by moonlight. However, every Mid-Autumn Festival night is a picturesque moon, good news is hard to find, and beautiful dreams are hard to complete.

I've been looking forward to it year after year, and I still can't wait to hear from you, how many times have I cried about it, do you know? I know that people have good and bad luck, and the moon is cloudy and sunny. But I just hope that at least when the moon is full in the Mid-Autumn Festival, every family can be like this full moon, happy and happy, and people will be full when the moon is full. But my hope is still in vain. ”

Listening to Hou Yi's crying, Chang'e's heart was both moved and sad. She didn't expect that Hou Yi, who she missed day and night, was beside her, Chang'e excitedly grabbed Hou Yi's hands and brought herself close to Hou Yi's side, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

Her voice trembled and said, "Hou Yi, my Hou Yi, are you really my husband Hou Yi?" I'm sorry, but I've hurt my Houyi, my husband, I will never leave you again. ”

Hou Yi helped Chang'e wipe away her tears and said, "Chang'e, you listen to me first." At that time, I couldn't wait for you to come back, so I became sick every day. A few years later, I was already resembling a withered artemisia from lovesickness, and I soon died of illness.

Soon after I died, I was reincarnated into a family surnamed Wu. My parents named me Wu Gang, and they gave me a beautiful wife. Later, when I became Wu Gang, I became obsessed with learning immortal arts, and soon after I got married, I said goodbye to my wife to cultivate immortals and learn the Tao.

However, Emperor Yan's descendant Boling took advantage of my three years of studying immortal arts outside, and he actually took possession of my wife, and they also gave birth to two rebels. In a fit of rage, I killed Boling.

When I raised my butcher's knife and killed the two children, my wife knelt down and pleaded with me, and I finally reluctantly spared the mother and son for the sake of the children's innocence.

Because I violated the rules of the Tao by killing people, I was sealed as a mouthpiece and punished to come to the Moon Palace to cut down the immortal tree, Yuegui. However, since I came to the Moon Palace, I have recovered the memory of my previous life, and I am happy with it. At that time, although I couldn't speak, I was fortunate to be able to see you Chang'e every day, which made me very happy. Because being able to see my beloved is exactly what I can't ask for. ”

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, my Houyi has suffered so many crimes, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, I'm so sorry for my wife."

Hou Yi had tears in his eyes, hugged Chang'e tightly with his hands and said: "Chang'e, Chang'e, I don't blame you, you have suffered so much here." For today's reunion, it is worth it for Hou Yi to die a few more times. My wife Chang'e, how many times have I looked for you in my dreams, thinking that my husband and wife came and went, and after this difficulty, they came together again. It seems that as long as there is a heart, there must be love, God is not thin on us, and we are really fateful. ”

As the two of them spoke, they suddenly laughed together, and they snuggled tightly together, happily flying together in the direction of Heavenly Court.
