Volume 2 Lost at Sea Chapter 36 Kotogao's Thoughts

This day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it is said that in the Heavenly Court of Middle-earth, it is already twilight. At this time, the sun and the moon are in the same day, the great Mars in the distance is about to set, and the thirty-three heavenly palaces are hidden in the glow, golden and brilliant;

Seventy-two glazed treasure halls have been filled with clouds and brilliant stars. The wonder of a thousand years of thanks, the evergreen pines and cypresses, the phoenix stood on the last shift, returned to the nest leisurely, the bird also rested early, and the peacock yawned.

This piece was leisurely, but I saw the immortals hurrying to the Tongming Palace.

The gargling chicken in front of the hall "rubbed" and spit out a gold bead. This is a sacred object of tribute from Kunming, feeding on turtle brains, and can spit out a gold bead every day. A red-crowned crane flew from the eaves with the gold bead in its hand and flew to the vault of the heavenly court.

Recently, natural visions: Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, five stars in the heavenly dome. The five star officials, the East Dipper, the West Dipper, the Middle Dipper, the Southern Dipper, and the Big Dipper, all say that this is an auspicious omen, and it is a great auspicious rui that has not been encountered for hundreds of years.

The Jade Emperor gave a banquet in the Tongming Palace, and it was okay not to listen to the congratulatory words of the Zhongdou Xingjun, but Chang'e's song and dance should not be missed, but if it was too late, the Jade Emperor's extra reward of fairy fruit and jade liquid was not eaten, then it would be too late to regret it.

Suddenly, the bells and drums rang out in unison, and the immortals who fell behind suddenly flew up, and they didn't care about the solemnity, so they rushed into the Tongming Hall with the beat of the drums.

There are one hundred and twenty palace maids in the Tongming Palace, divided into two shifts to dance in turns-day and night, known as the "constant dance". During the day, he danced "Pangu Dance", and at night he danced "Long-sleeved Dance", which was a new gadget that Shi Chong made for the Jade Emperor after he ascended to heaven - this is how he played in the world back then.

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother had finished their thanks, and the gods let go of their hands and feet, not caring about Sven, and were already munching and drinking. And the heavenly court musician Qin Gao was invited to the stage again and stroked the piano song "Changmen Resentment", which was out of the world and lingering in resentment, but no one applauded.

He played "The Song of the Dragon in the Sea" again, and its pitch was high-pitched and clear, like the waves of the sea, but it was still hidden in the staggering, and it was no longer clear to hear.

He was supposed to play the piano three songs "Long Autumn Night", "Yueyang Three Drunk", and "Spring River Flower Moon Night", all of which were very suitable for the occasion. But seeing that he rarely listened, he simply played the grievance song solo, and "Canghai Dragon Yin" had just begun, so he brushed his sleeves and left, and happened to sit next to Zhu Rong.

Although Qin Gao's Qin Intention is wonderful, he is only an immortal, and the status of Heavenly Court is not high. Although Zhu Rong ascended to the throne late, he was an immortal, but he complimented the piano and got up to toast, not only saying that he was wonderful, but also admiring him for gathering his magic skills in the piano, which is very rare.

The old fairy listened to the old Huai Dachang and was very useful.

The two pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and before they knew it, Qin Gao drank too much, and for a while, regardless of the dignity and inferiority, they called themselves brothers. Later, Zhu Rong was about to say goodbye, so he said: "He will be fortunate to listen to the peerless sound of Jun again in the future!" I'm afraid that drinking it again today will damage the old immortal jade body......"

Qin Gao hadn't heard such warm and comforting words for a long time, and suddenly turned from joy to sadness, and sighed with tears: "Don't tell the little brother, I will apply to be transferred to the Nether Realm in the future, and I will ...... in the future I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other in the future! ”

Zhu Rong was shocked: "Why? How rare is the Heavenly Court Immortal Position, go to the Nether Realm and become a scattered immortal, this ...... The scattered immortals have been fighting all day long to get this heavenly court organization, even if they are an immortal like you and me, they are often unobtainable, why are you so? The immortal position is rare, and it should not be ignored! ”

It turned out that the qin was obsessed with practicing the qin, and he integrated the thousand-year-old cultivation of the Tao into the meaning of the qin, playing day and night, and improving all the time, so that he gradually became obsessed and it was difficult to control the use of jade. This penance all day long, the natural year of jade is not enough, and it will be exhausted in September.

He used his savings for many years to support him for a month, but by the end of the year, he had also exhausted it, and there was no jade available recently, not only did the Dao Fa regress, but he was so upset that Qin Yi did not advance but retreated, making him panic and helpless.

Zhu Rong secretly pondered: After our old man Emperor Yan was promoted to the Southern Heavenly Emperor, he was sent to the Heavenly Court in Annam (today's Vietnam and other places), and before leaving, he asked him to cultivate internally, saying that he had not been in heaven for a long time, and his divine power was low, so he should not waste jade resources.

And the daily consumption of jade, will only be mined less and less, immortals are immortal, but more and more, until the Tao and divine power are introduced, and then refining jade, can advance by leaps and bounds. The so-called speed is not reached, even if you enter the country fast at the beginning, the divine power is still scum within a hundred years, it is better to slow down and lay a good foundation, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort.

After he traveled to Heaven for many years, the more immortals he had seen, and he felt that what his father said was indeed reasonable. As a result, he had only tried refining twice in the eighty years before his ascension, and now he still had twenty-eight years of jade in his hand.

"Old Immortal, I have two brothers who have stored jade in my place for ten years, if you need it urgently, let me ask them if they can borrow you some turnover?" Zhu Rong asked tentatively.

"Is that so? How can the old man repay him? The little brother quickly went to ask what was going on, and if it was done, I would ...... I...... The old man has to repay the young man and the benefactor! The old man Qin Gao listened to it and could be saved, and his excited words trembled, his body trembled, and he almost wanted to be paralyzed.

When he ascended to heaven as an immortal at the beginning of the year, a year was like a dream, and the ancients said that it was difficult in the world: it was difficult to go to the blue sky - to describe its difficulty! He asked himself how virtuous he could be, he had nothing to do but play the qin, and there were thousands of people in the world who were superb in the piano?

It can be seen that he is still blessed - his ancestors accumulate virtue! He didn't know how to express his gratitude and joy, so he only paid homage and prayed to his ancestors every day.

"Old fairy, you can rest easy, this thing is not mine, but if you want to borrow something, you have to say the amount and repayment date! Otherwise, how can I speak for you? Zhu Rong said as he hugged him.

"Old and confused, what the young man said is yes, I want to borrow it for three years first, and after two years, it should be free, if it is not good, it can be returned in three years at most, how about it?" Jean asked in a low voice. After listening to it, Zhu Rong took a sip of tea, muttered silently, and did not answer.

Qin Gao was sweating all over his head, and his old face was wrinkled.

"Alas, the young man can't believe in old age! Although the old man is incompetent, he is by no means an untrustworthy person, you can ask around, my Qin Gao's character-" Qin Gao said.

"Old immortal, don't get me wrong, you have a good reputation in Heavenly Court and your character, I'm strange, since you don't have enough money every year, and you still have a deficit in the next three years, how can you not only make up for this deficit but also repay the jade you owe in three years?

"What's more, I hit you off at first sight and know your character, but others may ...... Now people's hearts are not ancient, if there is no benefit, I am afraid that it is difficult to say! Zhu Rong said.

"After three years of this ——,, how about I pay him back one more year of jade?" Qin Gao saw Zhu Rong nodding slowly, and then said, "Actually, there are some methods, but I can't pull this old face at that time...... This matter is very secret, and the little brother can't spread it! ”

Zhu Rong said solemnly: "I have only been in heaven for a few years, who is it passed on, not to mention that my father would rather die than betray Chiyou, how could I do such a despicable thing!" ”

Qin Gao said: "You must have heard of the name of the 'Eight Immortals', among which Lu Dongbin's cultivation is the highest, and his disciple Han Xiangzi is also one of the Eight Immortals, who was the nephew of the Tang Dynasty writer Han Yu, who is good at blowing the flute, and a purple gold flute in his hand is also a rare treasure."

"When he traveled, he encountered Buddhism, Brahman, Zoroastrianism, Nestorianism and other foreign religious festivals or rituals, because he was proficient in music, foreign teachers could learn music and rhythm, and often helped to play, and got a lot of jade extraneficiaries."
