Chapter 4 Out of the Cage
Seeing that Si Xing was not as surprised as he expected, Manyue pursed her lips and said to herself, "Aren't you a busy person, what are you doing in Nanxu?" ”
The torturer took out a big red post from his bosom and handed it to her, "I'm just an errand runner. The eldest son of Tianjun has decided to marry him, and he will welcome his relatives on the first day of the first month of next month. ”
She took the post and read it several times, but she didn't understand what was written on it. She studied late, and she loves to be lazy, and now she hasn't even learned the words commonly used in the heavenly realm, and she can only use some words of the demon clan.
It's really a book to be used when you hate less, and if you know that the master is less lazy when he lectures, he won't become blind. Manyue stroked the thick red sticker, her heart moved slightly, and a pair of eyes looked at him brightly, asking, "Can I go?" ”
"This ...... The grand event of the heavenly family is naturally to welcome all the immortals. It's just that it's not up to me to decide whether Uncle Xiao can go or not, but Master Tai has the final say. The priest said thoughtfully. Manyue threw the post back to him, snorted lightly, pursed her lips and put her hands behind her back, "I knew you would say that, follow me." ”
The line of the rod hangs straight down from the water, and with a slight swing, it ripples. Suzaku was lying on the rocking chair, and the sun pierced her eyes, so she took off the hairpin on her head. Thrown on the ground, the wooden hairpin took root and grew wantonly, and after a while it became a towering tree, sheltering her from the sun and blocking the light.
I just closed my eyes and didn't squint for a while, when I heard someone shouting master. Suzaku frowned, there was no clean in the morning, where to go to avoid this troublesome spirit. As soon as he got up and took the fish basket, the man had already arrived.
"Master, you're here."
Suzaku snorted and sat back again, only to see that Manyue was still followed by the executioner. The priest bowed respectfully, and Suzaku called him up and asked him, "Punishment, why are you here?" ”
The sentence will be explained again.
Suzaku pulled Manyue to sit beside her, helped her press the broken hair on her forehead, and said softly: "His son is married, and it is not my son who is married." But if you tell me to go and hold up the field, I won't go. ”
"Master, can I go?" Manyue pointed at herself and looked at her flatteringly.
Suzaku glanced at her, poked her forehead with her index finger, and said, "What are you going to do, are you going to make trouble?" ”
I knew that the master would refuse, but when I heard the definite answer, I couldn't help but be disappointed. Manyue drooped her head, constantly squeezing her eyebrows at the executioner, who nodded slightly, and was about to say something.
Suzaku had already seen their small movements, so he asked her, "Do you really want to go?" ”
Manyue raised her head violently and nodded like pounding garlic: "I want to go, I want to go." ”
"Alas, troublesome, then go." Suzaku sighed lightly, and said to the priest again: "Take care of your little uncle, if something happens, you are the only one who asks." ”
It wasn't until Manyue and Si Xinghuan left happily that the smile on Suzaku's face faded, and she remembered what Shangguan had said to her a few days ago:
"His Royal Highness often complained to his subordinates, saying that the king always forbade her to go anywhere. Nanxu is the chain that locks you, but hasn't the king himself become the chain that locks her? Whether it is a sparrow or an eagle, their destination is the sky, not a cage. ”
"Why can't Your Highness have her own days to see the scenery that she has never had. You also said that you can't come in vain in life, do you want to lock her up for the rest of your life until she dies of old age? ”
In the end, even the Shangguan who served beside Manyue was more sober than her, and she was really a failure as a master, she picked up a petal that had been smashed by the rain, and said softly: "But I just want to protect you." ”
Manyue got the answer, and the good mood for half a month was on her face, and everyone in Nanxutian had to ask when they saw her, did Your Highness have any happy events coming to the door. She told her about going to the Nine Heavens to attend the wedding banquet, and the tree spirits congratulated the bird that was about to come out of the cage.
On the first day of the new year, the priest stepped on the crane to pick her up.
There were a lot of monsters standing at the gate of the palace, and Manyue quipped, "What's wrong?" Such a big battle made it look like I was going to get married. Even the mountain kings who fought with her all day long looked at her, and explained in a twisted manner: "Those immortals in the Nine Heavens are not good things, you have to deal with them carefully." ”
Shangguan, who liked to quarrel with her the most, stood by the door and said stiffly, "Go early and come back early." ”
She felt that they were all making too much of a fuss, but they were just going out of the door, not parting with life and death. On the way, she asked the punishment: "Punishment, everyone doesn't like me to go to the Nine Heavens, is the Nine Heavens really so scary?" ”
The punishment haha, avoiding the heavy and light: "Uncle Xiao is too worried, I don't just serve in the Nine Heavens, and I don't lack arms or legs." It's just that Uncle Xiao hasn't been out before, so they're a little nervous. ”
Manyue didn't ask again, it seemed that everyone was hiding something from her very tacitly, and this feeling was very uncomfortable. It's like she's on an isolated island, and everyone is on the other side, but everyone treats her very well, so she obediently doesn't dare to ask anything.
Their thoughts gradually drifted away, and they were pulled back by the cry of the crane under their feet, and they crossed a few boundary bridges, and they had arrived at the Wutong Hall where the eldest son of the Heavenly Monarch of the Nine Heavens lived.
The Wutong Hall was full of joy, thirty-six colorful phoenixes flew high and chirped, and even a large piece of new white clouds were reflected into colorful clouds. Seeing this bright scenery, Manyue was also in a good mood, and suddenly felt that the black and white cranes riding below had also become brightly colored.
Below the door of the temple is a staircase, which is invisible, and is directly connected to the main hall where the clouds shine. Many immortals were heading there, and Si Ming also led the moon upwards. The stairs were made of white jade, and there was a fist-sized night pearl embedded in the handrails of each step.
Manyue was very emotional: "It is worthy of being the first of the seventy-two heavens of the Heavenly Realm, and it looks like it is much more than our Nanxu Weather Sect." Unlike the master, if he gets a night pearl, he still has to hide it, and he won't touch it alive or dead. ”
Si Xing smiled and shook his head, birds love these shiny beads by nature, and Suzaku has brought this nature into full play. It's just that his little uncle is an outlier, not that he doesn't love treasures, but he loves beauties more.
There are also many brothers in this generation, and he is the only one who can get close to Manyue. There is no other reason, but because his appearance is the best among the rest of the senior brothers, he is quite favored.
They came late, and there were already a lot of people sitting at the banquet, and the position of the judge was not high or low, so the seat was in the middle. Many immortals had a little friendship with him, and when they saw him walking by with a girl, they all exchanged their heads and ears, "Who is the fairy next to the Xingxing Officer?" ”
"I don't know, my face is very raw."
"It's a new immortal from the Nether......"
After sitting down, the priest insisted on giving the moon a dish. His ears were sharp, and he heard a few immortals talking, saying that he was so attentive, he should have taken a fancy to this girl, and it was estimated that he should go to drink the wedding wine of the Xingguan in a few days.
Si Xing sneered, this is the most indulgent little uncle of his master, if he doesn't take care of it, in a few days, these immortals are afraid that they will go to his grave to drink happy wine. Manyue is a newly accepted closed disciple of Suzaku in recent years, and his identity has not yet been disclosed, so it is inconvenient to say it clearly, and the punishment is not easy to explain, so they have to guess wildly.
With a clear sound, the bell rang throughout the Nine Heavens, and the hall returned to calm. The bell rang twelve, and the colorful birds flying around the sky fell down one after another and turned into people, and the fish flowed in. Kneeling on both sides of the main hall, all of them looked respectful, and said in unison: "Welcome Your Highness." ”
A couple of newlyweds dressed in red clothes slowly walked into the hall hand in hand, the wedding dress was depicted with gold thread depicting the dragon and phoenix, and the beads on the bride's phoenix crown swayed slightly, and the pearls and jade collided, making a crisp sound. The groom's official was dressed in a bright red wedding dress, and his figure was tall and his face was like a crown of jade, and his eyes were heavy like a deep pool, but he couldn't see joy or anger.
The Heavenly Monarch on the first seat touched his beard and squinted with a smile.
Yue Lao stood on the right side of the Heavenly Monarch, and only after the newlyweds had passed the kneeling salute did he take out a piece of red thread from his sleeve pocket. Each of them stretched out a hand, and the red thread flew up like a butterfly, flipped between their wrists, and was firmly entangled.
This is considered a courtesy.
All the guests clapped their hands and congratulated, and it was the first time that Manyue saw the red line of Yue Lao, and he felt very strange in his heart, and a pair of eyes stuck to Yue Lao and did not leave. Yue Lao seemed to feel something, looked at her, and only felt that this little girl was very raw, so he ignored her, and just carefully put the thread into the bag.
Stingy, I won't even look at it. Manyue elbowed the top priest, "Punishment, who is the old man with the red line?" ”
"Oh, that's Yue Lao. Uncle Xiao asked what is this for? ”
Manyue supported her forehead with her hands, and her sleeves slid down to reveal the chain on her thin wrist, she lifted her eyelids, glanced at him obliquely, and said casually: "Look at him unpleasantly, find a remote place to beat him later." ”
This is the second ancestor who was raised from where he was beaten, and he almost squirted out with a stalk of wine in his throat, and hurriedly persuaded her: "Uncle Xiao, this is the Nine Heavens, and the impact of beating people is not good." ”
Seeing that Manyue was unmoved, he continued to talk to her at length, "If we get into trouble, won't it be troublesome for Master Tai." Besides, when the time comes, what should they say about our Nanxu Tian, saying that our Nanxu is just a reckless man who can swing his fists, and how should the brothers and sisters who come out of Nanxu deal with themselves in the future. ”
Manyue snorted and didn't answer, Si Xing guessed that she should have suppressed this thought.
