To the south of Jiufeng Mountain is a big mountain, called Taibai Mountain, which is the place of the Heavenly Palace Daxian Taibai Star Alchemy.

On this day, the bright moon got up early in the morning, opened the heavy iron gate on the top of the mountain, and looked into the distance, the dawn color on the horizon, a layer of green, a layer of yellow, and a layer of red, like a cut watermelon - the sun is coming.

"Hah! I thought you were going to sweep the courtyard early in the morning?

There was a sound of crackling footsteps behind her, and there was no need to argue about this timbre, Mingyue knew that it was the breeze coming, and she said lazily without looking back:

"It's not my job to sweep the yard, but to watch the sunrise! ”

Qingfeng sneered, sat down side by side with Mingyue, and followed Mingyue's line of sight, he also looked at the red in the sky with great interest, and sighed: "There is dawn everywhere, but there is only one sun." ”

When Mingyue heard this, she thought that Qingfeng felt that she couldn't ask for it, and she was bored, so she smiled and said, "What you said is not right, you should say it the other way around." ”

"Oh?" the breeze was puzzled.

Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled, "Although there is only one sun, there is dawn everywhere. ”

Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then grinned, and said: "But I often hear mortals say, 'Three thousand weak waters, only one scoop is taken.'" ’”

Mingyue said with a smile: "The sun shines on all things, it is fraternity, weak water only flows for one person, it is small love, of course, you can only take one scoop, how can fraternity and small love be compared?"

"If you had to choose, would you choose fraternity or little love?" Qingfeng suddenly asked curiously.

This question blinded Mingyue, and she had never thought about this question.

Seeing that Mingyue was silent, Qingfeng just asked casually, not hoping to get a definite answer. He had more important things, so this question was thrown to the back of his mind, he rubbed Mingyue with his shoulder, and said shyly: "Tomorrow is the annual peach banquet held by the queen mother, you promised to help me make a new white cloud bag......"

Mingyue glanced at Qingfeng, and said angrily: "Every year at the peach banquet, you have to take two more peaches, mine is given to you, you eat your own into your stomach, and you have to steal one and bring it back, and I didn't see you grow an extra centimeter." ”

Qingfeng has never seen his height grow, and he is always awkward, especially when he can't listen to others ridiculing him about his shortcomings. So he stood up coldly and fought back: "You know that I haven't grown taller, you come to compare with me." ”

Mingyue glanced at him again, and said boringly: "What's the comparison, I'm a woman, you're a man, I naturally can't grow up to you, alas! Mingyue waved her hand, "The white cloud bag has already been prepared for you, so I'll take it for you." ”

With that, he stood up on his knees, turned and walked into the room. Her jet-black hair hung down behind her back, and the morning wind was like a flock of white doves into her white silk robe trimmed with silver filigree and gold, and everywhere she went, fluttering and flapping her wings.

Qingfeng followed in three steps and two steps, put one hand on Mingyue's shoulder, the other on his waist, and said with a smile: "Thank you! Next time I go to the human world, I will definitely bring you a large string of rock sugar gourds." ”

Mingyue glanced at the paw on her right shoulder, shrugged her shoulder and shook it off, and said without any hope: "Do you have money? ”

Speaking of this, Mingyue stopped, turned her head to look at Qingfeng, and said word by word clearly:

"Fold-Shou-"

“......”

The next day, Mingyue was awakened by a rapid knock on the door, rubbing her swollen and sore eyelids to open the door, thinking that it was Qingfeng, a glutton, and was about to say a few angry words, but her eyes were quick and she immediately swallowed back the indecent words that ran out of her tongue, because there was not only Qingfeng standing outside the door, but also her master, Tai Baixing.

Tai Bai Xing's eyes were like electricity, his gaze swept from the top of Mingyue's head to the soles of his feet, frowning, his face was a little angry, he stomped his feet angrily, and complained anxiously: "Xiaoyue! Why did you get up, look at your messy hair, the queen mother's peach feast is about to start, you see, you see, my elixir jade liquid is going to be greedy by the old guy of Taishang Laojun again, if I don't drink a cup this time, you have to pay me." ”

After speaking, Tai Baixing raised his chin and slumped his mouth, "Hmph......"

Qingfeng stood behind the master Tai Baixing with a good look, Mingyue couldn't take care of him, and now it was the most important thing to appease the old man, who was like an old naughty child.

"Okay, master, don't be angry! Xiao Yue promised that if the master didn't drink it today, Xiao Yue would definitely go to the Queen Mother to ask for two cups back. Now give me a minute, and I'll be out right away. ”

Before the girl could finish speaking, the door was closed from the inside.

"Hmph...... That's pretty much it. ”

Tai Bai Xing was very satisfied with Mingyue's answer, and he was able to drink an extra glass of elixir and jade liquid. His eyes rolled, and he thought that if the old lady hadn't secretly drunk his elixir, wouldn't he have planned to soak in the soup in vain.

He stroked the thousands of gray beards hanging down from his chin, and felt a little tugging in his heart.

The queen mother's peach banquet is set on the edge of the Yao Pond, the round Yao Pond is full of fairy spirit, and the pool surface is full of verdant lotus leaves, as if it is full of dense jade umbrellas.

Suddenly, Mingyue was stunned by a pink lotus growing on the edge of Yao Pond, she always felt that the pink petals seemed to have eyes, staring at her, a gust of wind blew, and her nose was filled with a faint fragrance.

She shook her head, thinking that she must have been dazzled, how could there be a voyeuristic gaze in an extremely pure place like Yaochi.

Thinking like this, I was relieved, and I just sat down next to the master, and I was about to ask the master if the elixir and jade liquid that he had in his heart was still there?

However, before the words could be asked, Tai Bai Xing quickly peeked at Mingyue, grabbed ahead of Mingyue and said, "Xiaoyue! Look at my empty cup, there is not a drop left." ”

While aggrieved, he turned the cup upside down and shook it twice.

Mingyue looked at it, and really didn't throw out a drop, so she had to take the promise of the morning and said: "Master rest assured, when the banquet is over, Xiaoyue will definitely go to the Queen Mother to ask for two cups for you to take back, you eat some peaches first." ”

As he spoke, he handed the golden plate shining on his desk to the Tai Bai Xing table. At this time, she received two completely different gazes, one from the appreciative and teachable gaze of the master Tai Bai Xing, and the other from the resentful and resentful gaze of the breeze.

"Giggle...... Tai Bai Xing saw Mingyue patting his chest and abdomen, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and said vigorously in his mouth: "Good, good, good." ”

Seeing that the master was so happy, Mingyue couldn't take the plate back again, so she had to pretend that she didn't see anything.

Okay! Qingfeng, I owe you a peach this year!

At this moment, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother walked slowly side by side and sat behind a long table in front of the banquet. With the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother seated, the cheerful music sounded, and soon, in the center of the banquet, there was a group of colorful fairies dancing, the smart dancing posture mixed with the smiles of the immortals, a scene of singing and dancing.

As soon as the song ended, it was time for the immortals from all walks of life to deliver the gifts, and Mingyue stared intently at the front of the banquet. The barefoot immortal handed over a large and brilliant night pearl, the Erlang god handed over a string of snow-white and bright pearl necklaces, and the weaver girl handed over a gorgeous satin robe......

Looking at his own master again, every year is an elixir in an alchemy furnace, this elixir is eaten by mortals and has the effect of enhancing the body and immortality, but when it is placed on the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the Heavenly Realm, it only has the effect of plugging the teeth and killing time as a snack.

For this reason, when Tai Bai Xing stepped forward and handed out the elixir, Mingyue just wanted to find a hole to drill into, so as to block out the laughter of the immortals.

If you don't listen, you won't blush!

Finally survived until the end of the banquet, in order to go to his own master to ask for elixir and jade liquid, Mingyue stayed at the banquet alone, while helping the fairies to clean up the remnants of the banquet, while her eyes were purring, and she saw that the Jade Emperor had just left, Mingyue came up, and diligently helped the Queen Mother pinch her shoulders and hammer her shoulders.

"Helping the old lady ask for elixir again?"

The Queen Mother smiled and looked determined.

Mingyue nodded a little embarrassedly, "um", and immediately added: "Master, his old man is the most greedy for Niangniang's elixir and jade liquid, plus ...... I got up late this morning, and in order not to be punished, I promised my master that I would definitely ask you for two cups of elixir and jade liquid from Niangniang, and you will definitely agree to me! You see that I have massaged your shoulders for so long. ”

The Queen Mother covered her mouth and chuckled, and said with a smile: "Just at your sweet mouth, this palace can't refuse." Come with me! Hongu himself will pour two cups for you. ”

"To be able to get the elixir and jade liquid poured by the mother herself, Xiaoyue felt flattered when she held it. Mingyue took the hand of the Queen Mother and said flatteringly.

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Let's not be so polite, now there are no outsiders, this palace only hopes that you will learn the alchemy technique in Tai Bai Xing as soon as possible and come back to me, Shuangcheng gave you to me back then, I have long regarded you as my own daughter." ”

Every time she was alone with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother would always mention Mingyue's biological mother. But she is a vague shadow for Mingyue, Mingyue has never seen her since she opened her eyes, she will always live in the memories of the Queen Mother, and live in Mingyue's eardrums, like the night wind, to the whole body, but only a slight cool touch.

"By the way, when Mi Xiang tidied up the bedroom yesterday, she found a jade sheng in front of your mother's fairy, and it happened that you came today, so take it with you!"

After speaking, the Queen Mother waved her hand, and a jade sheng with a turquoise body appeared on her slender and silky palm.

Taking the jade sheng, Mingyue felt that it was like a bare green cat's eyeball, strange and familiar. It is something in front of the Niang Xian, Mingyue imagined in her mind what she looked like when she was holding the jade sheng in her hand, she should have a good voice, will there be a white bird soaring in the air, will there be a crane next to it?......

Mingyue thought stupidly like this, and walked towards Changbai Mountain without hurrying. Suddenly, she paused in her footsteps.

"Who is it?"

She snapped back vigilantly.

A wisp of pink dust and smoke in front of him slowly turned from virtual to real, and finally turned into a beautiful woman wearing a pink gown, with a delicate lotus hairpin in her hair bun, and the golden lotus heart was like the sun in June, shining brilliantly. She slowly walked towards the bright moon.

"It's you. Mingyue said firmly, "It turns out that the lotus flower on the edge of Yao Chi is you." ”

The lotus woman walked in front of Mingyue and knelt down with both knees bent, and Mingyue was shocked and forgot her movements.

I saw the lotus woman choked up and said, "Fairy Bright Moon, Yu Ji begs you to help me." ”

"Yuhime?"

Mingyue had heard this name from the mouth of the Queen Mother. was originally a maid beside the queen mother, because she envied the life of the cowherd and weaver girl in the world, and secretly came to the West Lake in Hangzhou, but she didn't want to go and never heard from again.

"Yes, I am the Jade Ji, the Jade Ji that Niangniang talked about, but Niangniang never said that I ran away to the world and never came back, but never said what I met in the world. ”

"Then what did you encounter?" Mingyue suddenly became curious, and she bent down to help Yuji up.

Yu Ji suddenly pulled a sweet smile from the corner of her mouth, and said gently: "I met a person, oh! No, to be precise, he is not a human, but a demon." ”

"Demons?"

Mingyue has never seen a demon, only in the mouth of the breeze, and occasionally heard a few words, the demon is very ugly, and the temperament is rough and ruthless.

"Yes, Demon, his name is Yehua, the Supreme of the Demon Realm, back then, when I saw him for the first time on the bank of the Xizi River, I fell in love with him deeply, I followed him to the Demon Realm, but soon the Heavenly Realm found out that I went down to earth without permission, and sentenced me to violate the laws of Heaven, and Niangniang used the lotus throne to beat me to the bottom of the West Lake. Since then, I have completely become a lotus flower with no abnormality, but I don't know if it is the compassion of the mother, or my luck, at the last moment of hitting the mud, I actually escaped a wisp of soul in my body, which is the wisp you see now, and since then, I have lived in this Yao Pond for a thousand years. ”

"Since the fairy escaped in danger, he should cherish his life even more, how can he still show his immortal form at will?" Mingyue felt sympathy for Yu Ji's experience, but at the same time, there was a faint trace of the longing for love that Yu Ji said in her heart.

"No, I'm not just a random immortal. Yu Ji suddenly became excited, she choked up: "When I married Ye Hua, I gave birth to a boy, his name is Yan Bin, originally I just wanted to feel their breath from afar. However, in the past few months, I suddenly couldn't feel his breath, and Ye Hua, they all seemed to have disappeared suddenly. I want to go to the Demon Realm to check it out, but ...... But I'm just a wisp of soul now, and I can't get out of the fairy realm at all. Fairy Bright Moon, can you help me go to the Demon Realm to check it out? If they have three long and two short, what's the point of me surviving for a long time?"

Mingyue saw that Yu Ji was depressed, so she opened her mouth to comfort: "Life is precious, how can a fairy be so such." What's more, there shouldn't be any intersection between immortals and demons, they naturally have their own fixed number of lives, and the fairies should cultivate in the Yao Pond as well, and then ascend to immortal again as soon as possible. ”

How do you know that Fairy Yuji doesn't appreciate it, she stubbornly said: "Although life is precious, love is more valuable." If you don't have seven emotions and six desires to live, it is better to die and turn into a cup of loess, and watering flowers and plants can also form the value of life. ”

After speaking, Yu Ji knelt at Mingyue's feet with a "poof" again, her eyes couldn't stop flowing with tears, and she fell to the ground with a pop, and the fairy-like ground was melted out one after another black holes.

Mingyue felt like she was standing on the edge of a deep pool, her head was dizzy, she looked straight ahead and asked puzzledly, "Is love really so magical? ”

"If the fairy also meets love one day, she will naturally understand me. Yu Ji choked and tilted her head and said steadily.

Mingyue let out a long sigh and said, "Even if I promise you to go to the Demon Realm, I have to go in." ”

When Yu Ji heard this, she immediately grabbed the corner of Mingyue's skirt excitedly, and said excitedly: "Don't worry about this fairy, I have a token." ”

As she spoke, she hurriedly pulled off the lotus hosta on her head and placed it firmly in Mingyue's palm.

The cold touch in her hand rushed to the top of Mingyue's head, and she agreed to this request today, but she was afraid that she would ...... in the future Forget it, what will happen in the future? Who can say what will happen in the future?

Thinking so, she shook her five fingers and held the cold lotus hosta deep in her palm.

Yu Ji continued: "This hosta was given to me by Ye Hua back then, and with it, the fairy can come and go freely in the Demon Realm. ”
