Chapter 97: Traveling Together (Part II)
The cuckoo fairy replied calmly: "It does not matter to us whether our children will be immortals or dragons in the future. The most important thing is that I have a love affair with him. The fourth son of the dragon and I have made an oath to heaven and earth. I am confident that no matter how difficult it is, I can work hard to overcome it. ”
The queen mother's eyebrows were raised suddenly, and her face was even more gloomy than a thunderstorm: "Du Juan, you are an unmarried woman, and you actually make a mountain alliance and sea oath with a man in private, which can be described as extremely bold!" ”
The cuckoo fairy retorted: "Marriage is the business of our young men and women, and of course we can make our own decisions. ”
The Queen Mother's approach this time was no different from her previous hard-hearted heart, and her eyebrows were like swords: "Dujuan, I have always regarded you as my goddaughter, and I love you very much." But this time you disappointed me so much. You don't waste any more time in front of me. ”
Seeing that the pleading could not be done, the cuckoo fairy stood up, raised her voice, and tried to resist: "Queen Mother, if I beg left and right, you still won't agree." Well, I'll just say hello to you first. I went down to earth privately to marry the four sons of the dragon. ”
The Queen Mother looked serious: "If you set this precedent, won't everything in heaven and earth be chaotic in the future?" ”
The cuckoo fairy strived: "Queen Mother, don't make things so serious. ”
When the Queen Mother saw that the cuckoo fairy dared to go against her will, she also proposed to elope to the earth, and her face turned pale: "It's not that I said it seriously, because it is so serious in itself. The state has national laws, and the family has family rules. I have said beforehand, if you dare to go your own way, you will be punished by the laws of heaven. ”
The cuckoo fairy still tried her best to convince the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, the laws of heaven are dead, and we are alive." ”
The Queen Mother's attitude is still so tough: "The laws of heaven have been implemented for thousands of years, and they are like iron, and no one can break the vows." ”
The cuckoo fairy argued on the basis of reason: "The rules of heaven are determined by you, and the good ones can be enforced." It is not appropriate and should be modified. ”
The Queen Mother snorted: "Modification? Do you want to revise the laws of heaven for you, a little immortal? You know, no one has the right to change it. If they disobey, the Weaver Girl is a clear proof of this. ”
The Weaver Girl eloped to the earth, married a good relationship with the Cowherd, and gave birth to a son and a daughter, and was punished by the Queen Mother according to the laws of the heavenly court. Every year on the seventh day of July, the magpies are fortunate to build a bridge for them to reunite once a year and complain about the pain of separation.
When the cuckoo fairy saw that the Queen Mother mentioned the Weaver Girl, she couldn't help but vent the waves in her heart, raised her voice and shot back: "The Queen Mother, you forcibly separated the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, do you know what the immortals in the sky and the world say about you?" ”
Queen Mother: "What do they say about me?" ”
The cuckoo fairy spelled out at this time: "They say that you and the Jade Emperor stay together every day, and you are merry and happy; But the Cowherd and Weaver Girl were separated by the wind and snow, and suffered from lovesickness. ”
The Queen Mother: "They are to blame!" ”
The cuckoo fairy was not afraid of the powerful, and bluntly rebuked: "No! This is all due to your indiscriminate use of coercion. Everyone scolds you for being ruthless behind your back, breaking up the mandarin ducks, and being a femme fatale. ”
The Queen Mother couldn't imagine that a little fairy would dare to challenge her supreme authority, so she was furious and slammed the desk hard: "Phew! I will not hear what my mouth says about me. I won't change my mind anyway. ”
The cuckoo fairy raised her eyebrows and raised her voice even higher: "At this point, I know that there is no room for maneuver. I'll take care of my business! ”
The Queen Mother warned sternly: "Sun Monkey has great powers, and he can't escape the palm of the Buddha's hand. Cuckoo, cuckoo, I warn you, let you go to the end of the sky, but you will not be able to escape my law. Unbelief? If you dare to defy the law, I will accompany you to the end! ”
The cuckoo fairy had an unyielding expression of preferring death, and replied loudly: "What I want to decide, even if I am broken, I will continue to swear not to look back!" ”
The Queen Mother and the Cuckoo Fairy refused to give in to each other and fell out on the spot.
The Queen Mother looked at the back of the cuckoo fairy flicking her sleeves and leaving, and was furious, and ordered the heavenly generals who patrolled the heavens and the earth to closely monitor the whereabouts of the cuckoo fairy, and once they found anything abnormal, they would report to her at any time.
Soon, the Queen Mother heard the reply of the giant spirit god who patrolled the heavens, and the cuckoo fairy dared to go against her will, and went down to Tianlu Mountain to meet the fourth prince of the dragon king, and couldn't help but be furious, and summoned Lei Gong and Uncle Dian to the palace: "That cuckoo fairy wants to follow the old path of the weaver girl, I persuade her to fail, you two quickly go to Tianlu Mountain, exert the power of thunder and lightning, don't let the two of them gather and meet, so as not to break my heavenly rules." ”
"Order!" Lei Gong and Uncle Dian were ordered by the Queen Mother, both drove the clouds and electricity, rode the wind, and hurriedly came to Tianlu Mountain, and saw that the cuckoo fairy had come to the second peak "Shallow Water Daqi", and there were all kinds of thunder pond electrodes under the slope here, and the thunder array was placed, and then returned to the heavenly court to reply.
When the cuckoo fairy came to the top of Tianlu Mountain, she walked down, but when her foot stepped into an area, it caused a thunderous explosion, and an electric current spread from the ground all over her body, making her tremble involuntarily. The cuckoo fairy was not reconciled, desperate to rush down from the top of the mountain, and met with Ao Xiaobing, the fourth son of the lover dragon, and complained about the pain of separation, but every time he arrived at that cordon, he was like an electric shock, he was shocked, his legs were paralyzed, and he could not move forward, so he had to retreat to the top of the mountain.
Ao Xiaobing, the fourth son of the dragon, knew that the cuckoo fairy was coming, and rushed up the mountain desperately, but as soon as he stepped into the minefield, he was struck by the lightning and spasmed, and it was difficult to move forward. After many efforts, it was all in vain, and I could no longer rush up to the top of the mountain.
Ao Xiaobing, the fourth son of the dragon, put his hands in front of his mouth, made a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly: "Sister Cuckoo, the queen mother can stop our bodies, but can't stop our hearts!" ”
The cuckoo fairy also replied loudly at the top of the mountain: "Yes, the fourth son of Long, no matter what year or month, no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, my cuckoo's heart will always belong to you." ”
The cuckoo fairy and the fourth son of the dragon, Ao Xiaobing, were on Tianlu Mountain, and the two sides were close at hand, but they couldn't cross the thunder pond for half a step, so they had to watch each other affectionately across the thunder and lightning area.
In the middle of winter, the north wind howls and the cold invades the body, and the cuckoo fairy stays on the top of Tianlu Mountain, and watches over with the four sons of the dragon king with a strong will and unswerving determination.
As the eldest sister of the Hundred Flowers Fairy, the Peony Fairy was very uncomfortable when she learned of this situation, and took the fairies to the top of Tianlu Mountain to persuade the cuckoo fairy to return to the fairy world, so as not to stay alone in this cold and desolate place and suffer from the invasion of wind and frost, but the cuckoo fairy was more affectionate than Jinjian, and just said: "Sister Peony, I will not return to the heavenly court fairy world with you." ”
The peony fairy was surprised and asked, "Why?" ”
The cuckoo fairy said loudly: "There is no turning back arrow when I open the bow, I am not with the fourth son of the dragon in this life, what is the point of living?" ”
The other sisters of the Hundred Flowers Fairy took turns to persuade her, but they couldn't make the Cuckoo Fairy change her mind despite their efforts.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy was both distressed and helpless for this such stubborn sister. She knew that if the cuckoo fairy kept her temper and stayed in the arid place on the top of the mountain, withstanding the cold wind, her life would be difficult to protect.
How do you solve this problem? Go and plead with the Queen Mother, hoping that she will be merciful and allow the cuckoo fairy and the four sons of the dragon king to marry Fengluan? It's impossible. The Queen Mother's hard-hearted heart is well known, and it is useless for anyone to intercede with her.
What to do? No one in the gods inside and outside the Heavenly Palace dared to oppose the Queen Mother, so as not to invite death.
Hundred Flowers Fairy, you said, I said, in the idea, but one by one the ideas were quickly overturned, in the end, the eldest sister Peony Fairy thought of a good way: to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to help.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy came to the purple bamboo forest of Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea and pleaded with Guanyin Bodhisattva to let her come forward to free their sister Cuckoo Fairy from the sea of suffering.
Guanyin Bodhisattva was born with a good heart, and could not withstand the many pleas of the Hundred Flowers Fairy, so he personally drove the clouds to Tianlu Mountain and persuaded the cuckoo fairy in person.
The cuckoo fairy first thanked Guanyin Bodhisattva for his compassion and kindness, and then expressed to Guanyin that his heartfelt feelings would not change and he would not look back.
Ao Xiaobing, the fourth son of the Dragon King, also showed his heart to Guanyin.
Guanyin Bodhisattva saw that this pair of affectionate couples loved like a mountain and loved like a sea, but innocently suffered so much, his heart could not bear it, and he was also moved by their loyalty, and thought again and again: The will of the Queen Mother has been made, and no one can change it, otherwise it will damage the unsurpassed authority of the Queen Mother and mess up the rules and order of the heavenly court, which will cause a chain reaction in the future, and the chaotic situation will not be easy to clean up.
Guanyin was struggling, in a dilemma, her willow eyebrows locked, a pair of phoenix eyes contemplated, after a while, she said to the peony fairy: "You should also know that the will of the queen mother will either not be given, if it is, no one can disobey." But rest assured, sisters, I will not die without help. Every winter, I will quietly go to the top of Tianlu Mountain to sprinkle some nectar, which can not only save the life of the rhododendron fairy, but also nourish her, so that her flowers will be more brilliant and more beautiful. But this secret, you must keep your mouth shut, and do not leak it, lest the Queen Mother know and have other prejudices against me. ”
The Hundred Flowers Fairy expressed their stance one after another, and promised Guanyin in person that they would strictly guard this secret.
Guanyin said with emotion: "There is a way that women are tolerant of themselves for pleasing themselves." The nectar I sprinkled, the essence of the sun and the moon, and the aura of heaven and earth, can make the cuckoo fairy show a more beautiful appearance to the fourth prince of the dragon, in order to comfort the two lovers in their lives. ”
The peony fairy and the other fairies praised Guanyin's good idea.
From then on, every midwinter, the north wind blows strongly on the top of Tianlu Mountain, and the cold is biting, Guanyin will come to Tianlu Mountain in person, swaying nectar.
When the cold winter leaves, the goddess of spring comes to the earth, and the rhododendron fairy, nourished by nectar, blooms its flowers extremely brilliantly. The red and bright flowers seem to reveal a sincere heart. The enthusiasm of fire conveys the call of love to the four sons of the dragon king in the Zenlong Gorge.
At this time, the Zenlong Gorge was replenished by the spring rains, and the four princes of the Dragon King were more energetic, and responded with magnificent flowing water in the canyon.
Heaven and earth echo, mountains and rivers echo, playing a poignant love song in spring.
On the top of the high mountain, when the azaleas are in full bloom, the safflowers are scorching, clusters, patches, and the bright red azaleas form a dazzling sea of flowers like flames. The view here is so beautiful and spectacular.
The local people set the third day of the third month of the third month of the agricultural season as the "Azalea Festival" of Tianlu Mountain.
On this day, the adults of Xinzhou and Siyi, with children, are not afraid of hardship, and strive to climb up from both sides of Tianlu Mountain, the mountain road is full of people, and the sea of people on the top of the mountain is surging. Young men and women even came together to sing love songs to each other on the mountain, and they fell in love with the cuckoo sea. It has become a famous scene here.
In the canyon of Mt. Tenro, multiple waterfalls converge into a stream that flows day and night. The famous Chanlong Gorge has also left a period of legendary folklore.
