Chapter 19: The Gods Divide the Gourd
Speaking of Fuxi, Nuwa and Sanqing and the five of them were quietly waiting for the ripening of the gourd on Buzhou Mountain, and at this moment, two people came, these two people, one was wearing a red Taoist robe, which was the Hongyun Daoist who gave up his seat in Zixiao Palace, and the other was wearing a simple plain Taoist robe, which was Hongyun's friend Zhen Yuanzi. Hongyun saw that everyone was here, and immediately stepped forward to salute with a smile, and everyone hurriedly returned the salute. Hongyun asked: "Poor Dao was originally going to go to Zhen Yuanzi's Wuzhuang Temple, but he sensed that there was an opportunity here, so he came to see it with Zhen Yuanzi, could it be that the same is true for you?" Everyone nodded yes, and now Hongyun was happy, and said: "It's okay now, there are seven people here, and there are exactly seven gourds, exactly one for each person." The crowd nodded in goodness.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a bell, followed by a sentence: "The emperor is against it." As soon as the words fell, twelve people appeared, and the two people who took the lead had a strong imperial majesty, it turned out that these two people were the Demon Emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and behind them were the Ten Demon Saints. At this time, Taiyi said: "And the two of us, we also want to get a piece of the pie." The atmosphere became tense for a while, but Hongyun broke the dull atmosphere and said, "Could it be that Taiyi's friend has a spiritual treasure here, so he came to share a piece of soup?" However, as soon as these words came out, Taiyi's face suddenly darkened. It turns out that Taiyi is not good at the art of calculation at all, you let him fight, no problem, it is definitely a top-level combat power, you let him calculate things, or spare him, the art of calculation has always been in charge of Di Jun. Therefore, Hongyun's words directly poked Taiyi's sore feet, making Taiyi hold a grudge against Hongyun, and laying the root of Hongyun's bane in the future. However, Taiyi could only endure it at this time, Di Jun saw that his brother's face was not good, and hurriedly said: "Fellow Daoists, our brother wants a piece of the pie, you should have no opinion, right?" Everyone saw the ten demon saints behind the two of them, and couldn't help but turn their eyes to Fu Xi and Nuwa, Nuwa just wanted to have a seizure, but was pulled by Fu Xi, and Fu Xi said: "The master has already sent a solution just now. Then, Fu Xi stepped forward and said to everyone: "There is a method for poor Dao, I don't know what you think?" Everyone asked Fu Xi to speak, Fu Xi said: "Sanqing each pick one, our brothers and sisters each pick one, Zhenyuanzi Daoyou and Hongyun Daoyou pick one, Dijun Daoyou and Taiyi Daoyou pick one, I don't know what you think?" Everyone felt that this method was feasible, only Taiyi wanted to say something, but was pulled by Dijun. In this way, Buzhou Mountain fell silent again. However, this incident made the original impression of the demon clan even worse.
Suddenly, the gourd vine shone brightly and wafted out a strange fragrance, which everyone knew was a symbol of maturity. So, Lao Tzu stepped forward and said to everyone, "Since it is ripe, let's start." Fuxi and Nuwa Daoyou arrived first, so please ask them to pick them first. Everyone had no opinion, Fu Xi and Nuwa did not shirk, they stepped forward and picked a gourd of Nuwa and practiced it into a world-famous demon flag, Fu Xi's gourd was given to Xuantian by him, and Xuantian refined it into a drunken fairy gourd, which was filled with top wine, which played a great role in his later interaction with Xiao Shou, which is not mentioned later. Later, Lao Tzu stepped forward and picked off the purple gold gourd, which was later used to hold the elixir; Yuan Shi and Tongtian each picked one for unknown purposes; Hongyun stepped forward and picked a red gourd, which was later refined into the Ninety-Nine Scattered Gourd; Taiyi stepped forward and picked a yellow gourd, which was later refined into a gourd for killing immortals, and shined in the third battle between heaven and earth. When Nuwa saw that everyone had finished picking the gourd, she went to collect the gourd vines, and although everyone was strange, they didn't say anything.
After bidding farewell to everyone, Fu Xi and Nuwa returned to Zixiao Palace, handed over to Xuantian, and cultivated in Zixiao Palace, waiting for the second sermon.
