Chapter Eighty-Seven: Birth
Coincidentally, today is also the birthday of His Royal Highness Wen Yuan. The gods and goddesses from all over the world came to celebrate the birthday of the eldest princess of the Emperor of Heaven, but the Emperor of Heaven did not attend, I don't know what the reason is. Before this, Wen Yuan had already boasted about Haikou and said to them: "I have some friendship with Qingxuan Tianzun, he should come on my birthday." ”
She bet on the Taoist chief's sentence of "this time is a favor", and the bet was that she was still a little useful to him. So she was determined to win. You must know that Qingxuan Tianzun has not officially participated in any banquet in the Heavenly Court for hundreds of years, and he will not give anyone face. Now if it appears at the birthday party of His Royal Highness Wen Yuan, this is a piece that can be talked about by all the immortals, and it has been chewing for a long time with some different feelings.
The Dao Chief only thought that he could get out early and go back to celebrate Yun's birthday at will, but when he really came to the Nantian Gate and saw the immortals gathered inside, he realized that he had been deceived.
Wen Yuan's move can be called killing two birds with one stone. He has been at odds with the Heavenly Court for a long time, and now he appears in front of many immortals, clearly indicating that the relationship has eased. Besides, Tianzun didn't know how many Heavenly Clan women admired them, but he didn't ask Hongchen. If he stood with him, I don't know how many people would break their minds.
But she didn't think of what the Taoist was thinking.
The little fairy boy only said that "His Highness has something important", and did not say anything important at all. Wen Yuan was overjoyed when he saw that Qingxuan Tianzun was really coming, and hurriedly left Du Er Xingjun, who was greeting her, to come to greet her, and deliberately said, "See Tianzun." Today is my birthday, and I guessed that Tianzun would definitely come. ”
Her voice was neither high nor low, but it was enough to attract the attention of a god. Some of them haven't reacted yet, standing in place, two of them were so shocked that the glass cup in their hands didn't hold it steady, and they fell straight down from the clouds, and they didn't know which mortal fate picked it up and became a rare treasure.
"Quick, don't welcome Tianzun in yet!"
"No, I'll just stand in the doorway. He sneered in his heart, but said with a spring breeze on his face. At the same time, he looked at the faces of these immortals, and smiled at Wen Yuan uncharacteristically: "Your birthday?"
She looked up at Qing Xuan, as if she could see some hope from this smile: "Yes." ”
He was silent for a long time, so long that those immortals suspected that the person in front of him was a piece of wood, and when the smile on Wen Yuan's face froze, he took out a piece of rune paper that Yun had written at random from his palm and slapped it in Wen Yuan's palm.
"Your birthday gift," he said nonchalantly, "I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”
After he said this, he turned around and left, and a large group of immortals rushed to chase after him and keep him, but they were stopped by Wen Yuan with a gesture. They were far away from the door, and they didn't know what Tianzun said just now, so they all set their eyes on Wen Yuan's body. I saw that when she turned around, she was holding a bead hairpin in her hand, and said with a gentle smile: "Tianzun said that it was inconvenient for him to stay for a long time today, so he only gave me this hairpin, saying that these are fashionable in the mortal world." Didn't you sweep everyone's interest, did you?"
"No, no!" the immortal hurriedly shook his head. You must know that today is her birthday, how could they say something out of place. But after listening to Wen Yuan's words, they chewed on the meaning again--it is not appropriate to stay for a long time today, that is to say, to reunite another day? As for the man giving the woman a pearl hairpin, as long as the immortals who have been to the mortal world know it, the meaning could not be more obvious. As a result, a few discerning people began to secretly calculate the marriage date, or to make a look at others with understanding, as if this had become a sure thing.
Wen Yuanming was still smiling decently on his face, and the hand that was hiding in his sleeve and holding the bead hairpin was still trembling slightly because of excessive force. Originally, every step was carefully calculated, but who knew that he didn't appreciate it! Could it be that there was something more important in the world than her birthday? She didn't believe it!
Si Ming picked an inconspicuous corner and drank slowly, after all, he knew the fate of everyone in this heavenly court, he was familiar with everyone, but he chose to be unfamiliar. He knew that Wen Yuan would definitely come to him in a while, and by that time the wine would not be so happy.
Sure enough, when most of the demigods dispersed, Wen Yuan picked up the glass cup and walked towards him.
Si Ming looked at her with a smirk.
Seeing that there was no one around, Wen Yuan gently threw the glass cup in front of him, and said, "Why is this happening? Today is my birthday, why doesn't he stay longer!"
As she spoke, as if she had been greatly wronged, her nails lightly clasped the edge of the glass jar, tears already rolling in her eyes.
Si Ming lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and said lightly: "That's because today is someone else's birthday." ”
"Who is it?" she asked immediately and alertly.
Si Ming still looked at him with a smirk, as if none of this had anything to do with him.
You must know that there is a day in heaven and a year on earth. Although the Dao Chief was still angry, he didn't want to mess with Wen Yuan anymore, so he hurried back. Yun casually was still waiting for the gift that Master had given her, so she sat on the steps and waited for him, and this wait lasted from early morning to sunset, and when she saw that the sun was about to set, she still didn't wait for anything.
Shen Di couldn't bear it in the end, he didn't know that today was Yun Shu's birthday, and the gift was prepared in a hurry, and he was going to give it to her with the Taoist Chief.
No, he wasn't prepared at all, and he didn't know what a birthday meant until then. He took out a locust wood token from his pocket and hung it on her waist: "Senior sister, with this token, you can go to the underworld anytime and anywhere, or you can go to the underworld, I give it to you now, I wish you ......"
He "um" for a long time, and did not see anything "um" say, and finally said thoughtlessly: "Wishing you prosperity." ”
Cloud casual looks like this token very much. She took it in the palm of her hand and looked at it over and over again for a long time, until it was slightly hot when she rubbed it, and then reluctantly put it into her palm.
It was already completely dark, but the Taoist still didn't show up. Suddenly, a huge firework began to bloom in the sky, startling the clouds and hiding in the arms of the gods.
Shen Tu wasn't much better, but he was scared by Yun casually. No one had ever hugged him before, and he felt that something was wrong with his whole person.
"Don't be afraid, senior sister, don't be afraid, that's fireworks. As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something and said to her, "Shall we go to the top of the 'Messy Building' to watch the fireworks?"
"It's not good, it's not good!" Yun casually covered his ears with his hands, shivering, and his whole body resisted.
Shen Tu sighed in his heart and thought, "Master, it's not that I don't help you, it's just that Senior Sister is scared, no wonder me." ”
"Then we'll just sit here and watch, the fireworks are beautiful. Come, I'll cover your ears. ”
She nodded, finally mustering the courage to look up at the dark night sky. From south to north and from west to east, the night sky is filled with brilliant fireworks, and no matter where you look at it, it seems that the night sky belongs only to the person watching the fireworks.
The Taoist has not yet come. In fact, he had already come, and he was sitting on the roof of that "messy building". He remembered that when the Jinling Thousand Lantern Festival was held before, Yun Xian missed watching the fireworks because he was sleepy. Although she didn't say anything afterward, the Taoist knew that she still had some regrets in her heart. So he took advantage of this birthday to put the fireworks back aside, and this time only showed her alone.
After the initial fear, Yun Xian was obviously confused, and even the colorful eyes of fireworks were reflected in his pupils. Shen Tu couldn't help but say, "This is what Master has prepared for you. ”
"What—" she cried out without hearing clearly.
"I said—this is what Master prepared for you—fireworks!"
She didn't know if she heard clearly, but her face was full of sparkling light. She laughed, her eyes crooked into crescents, and she suddenly put her hands in a circle in front of her mouth, and shouted with all her strength, "Thank you, Master—"
The Taoist sat on the roof of the building and couldn't help but laugh out loud. He looked at the two apprentices sitting on the steps and sighed softly.
Yun casually pounded the gods: "Senior brother, you shout too." ”
"Thank you, Master—thank you, Qingxuan—thank you, Taiyi—"
The smile on the Dao Chief's face froze, and he quickly jumped down from the roof of the building and patted Shen Di's head gently: "What are the little rabbit cubs shouting?
"Ahh
She motioned for the chief to squat down, stood on tiptoe and pecked him in the face, turned her head and kissed Shen Tu, and then jumped up and down on the grass: "Ahhh
"Oh my God, Master, kiss me!" Shen Tu turned his head and saw the Taoist Chief, his face in disbelief.
"It's not me, it's your senior sister!"
He was stunned for a moment, his face slowly burned, and he smiled slightly as he watched Yun casually and excitedly turn several times on the grass.
His smile finally looked like the smile of a normal teenager, instead of being consistently cold, as if everyone was "not close to the living".
Maybe when she grows up, she won't have such happy days again. Yun casually celebrated his birthday when he was a child, and his grandparents cooked a bowl of longevity noodles to eat, and only on this day could he put an egg. So she looked forward to her birthday every day and looked forward to growing up soon.
Now, although my grandparents are gone, I have a master and a younger brother, and the feeling of being at home is the same.
