Chapter 2: The Immortals Flock to the Place
The Seven Fairies, the Land Prince, and the Golden Boy and Jade Girl, all of them just came to the Yao Pond, and they saw a golden sky in the distance.
Looking carefully, I saw that in the golden light, there was a person wearing a crown, wearing a golden suit, with beautiful eyebrows, a straight nose and a wide mouth, looking about fifty years old, with a majestic and majestic demeanor, it was none other than the leader of the immortals - the Jade Emperor.
Behind him is the energetic Erlang God, the towering Tota Heavenly King, the handsome and lovely Nezha, and several retinue palace maids.
The immortals who were in Yaochi found that the Jade Emperor was coming at this time, and quickly knelt on their knees and bowed down from afar.
The Jade Emperor is in a good mood today, and he is even more excited to see many immortal friends here, smiling and waving his hand to order the immortals to flatten their bodies, and after a while of shouting and asking for warmth, they were surrounded by the immortals and the maids of Yaochi to the dignity of the banquet.
This place where the banquet was held was hidden on a huge platform in the middle of a lotus pond, the platform was quite large, showing a circle, with a diameter of hundreds of meters, and what was even more surprising was that there was a huge Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram painted on the ground of this platform.
There are several steps at the north end of the platform, and there is a slightly small flat place above the steps.
The huge platform was surrounded by numerous long tables, and in the small flat area on the steps, two were also placed, apparently for the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
The flat land where the banquet was held was connected to the palace of the Queen Mother, and from a distance it looked like a huge island standing above the lake.
The ground here is unusually smooth and flat, and there is a thin layer of white clouds floating above the ground.
There are also several peach trees planted around this platform, these peach trees are only flowering and fruit-bearing flower-viewing tree species, blooming all year round, never withering, and the flower cluster is huge, pink and tender matchless, it is a unique variety in the land of Yaochi, and it is very loved by the Queen Mother and the Seven Fairies.
And underneath these peach trees, there are two large black wells that are bottomless.
These two deep wells, also known as the reincarnation well, are used by the immortal people to reincarnate, once someone commits a heinous crime, they will be thrown from these two wells, one is reincarnated into the plane of cultivation, and the other is reincarnated into the plane of mortals.
The Queen Mother, who had finished dressing up in the harem, heard that the Jade Emperor had arrived, and hurriedly walked out surrounded by a group of maids.
I saw that Niangniang's age was also about forty years old, with red lips and white teeth, thin eyebrows and big eyes, red complexion, white and white, dignified and loving, graceful and rich, the black hair on the head was tied together with a hairpin made of gold and jade, hooped into a huge fan shape on the head, and above the black bulging hair, there were many real pearls and jade whitewashes, which looked energetic and extraordinarily honorable.
"The Jade Emperor came today, and the Queen Mother of the West missed her welcome, which is really ashamed and ashamed. After the queen mother saw the Jade Emperor, she didn't dare to slack off, and quickly greeted her with a smile on her face, and said politely.
When the Jade Emperor saw the arrival of the Queen Mother, the body that was originally sitting on the throne quickly stood up, also came forward, and made a gesture, and said, "The Queen Mother of the West is too modest, you invite me to come to the meeting every year, but I have been unable to make the trip because of my busy affairs, and I am ashamed that I should be right." ”
After speaking, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his face showed a slightly guilty look.
(The Queen Mother, also known as the "Queen Mother of the West", is often described as husband and wife in today's myths and legends, but in fact there is no substantive relationship between the two, and there is no record in any Taoist texts that the two are husband and wife.)
She is condensed from the chaotic Dao Qi and the Xihua Divine Qi, and is the head of the female immortals, and she is also transformed by the innate Yin Qi, and she is also the master of all Yin things. The mortal world, the cultivation world, and the immortal world, the women within these three terms, as well as all the things of the Yin genus, are under her jurisdiction. )
The Queen Mother saw that the Jade Emperor was ashamed, she felt funny, the corners of her mouth were bright, "hehe......", laughed out loud, and then stopped chatting, raised her head and looked at the decorations of the Yao Chi Land, only to see that the empty flat ground was full of cyclamen, and on the table of the eight immortals arranged around, cups of fruits, wine and delicacies were all on the table.
A woman standing on the side saw it, hurriedly walked over, and said: "Niangniang, all the immortals invited this year, except for the Buddha of Xitian Rulai who was unable to attend the meeting because of something else, the others have all been counted. Regarding the layout of the venue, except for the peach that has not been placed, the others have also been arranged. ”
It turned out that this woman was the head of the peach festival ordered by the queen mother, at this time, the queen mother saw that this woman was like a numb, and the arrangement and arrangement of things were all in her chest, she felt quite relieved, smiled slightly, and ordered all the immortals to enter their places, waiting for the distribution of peaches, and thus began this feast.
When the immortals heard this, they were overjoyed, and they each walked into the long desk and sat down.
At this time, the seven fairies walked into the hall and arranged the freshly picked peaches in the basket one by one on a plate on the table, and the longevity peaches were stacked into the shape of a pyramid in the form of 'stacked arhats'.
After everything was settled, a group of graceful and extraordinary women walked into the square of the middle platform.
The music sounded, and the women twisted their waists and arms with the melodious sound of the piano, and danced, while the gods looked at the beautiful dancing, and looked at the joyful and joyful scene.
Today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, all the gods are polite, so as to avoid getting up with a cup, toasting and congratulating the birthday, the Queen Mother looked at the cyclamen who came to admire the face, smiled, picked up the elixir in front of him, and drank it all.
Everyone was quite relieved to see that Niangniang was so bold as a daughter, and they also raised their necks and drank the wine in the cup.
And the other part of the Hundred Flowers Fairy, the Hundred Grass Fairy, He Xiangu, and the Chang'e Fairy...... waited for her daughter's body, because she was too strong to drink, she had to replace the wine with fairy dew and drank the dew in the cup.
After the queen mother drank the wine in the cup, she politely let the immortals eat and drink well, and then walked up the steps.
At this time, the Jade Emperor was sitting on the left side of the two tables on the steps, and the Queen Mother smiled at the Jade Emperor, and sat down at the table on the right without any stop.
"Huh...... , Why is there a yellow, orange and orange person on this plate containing peaches?" The Queen Mother sat at the table, wanting to reach out and pick up a peach to enjoy, but suddenly found that there was something wrong on this plate, and called out with a little surprise.
At this time, at the moment when the immortals had just finished toasting and sat down, the music was also light and soothing, and there was not much noise.
In addition, the Queen Mother has always been majestic, her voice is crisp and refreshing, and there is no delicate and twisting feeling that women should have, so all the immortals present listened to it.
"Seven daughters, all stand up for me, what the hell is going on with this peach? It's so bold, even I, a mother, dare to fool me. The Queen Mother didn't wait for the immortals to wake up from their shock, and then her face suddenly turned sharp and she stood up and said.
The Seven Fairies were shocked when they heard this, and quickly jumped from the stage to the platform below, and the lingering music and graceful dancers also fell silent in an instant with the sound of broken drinking.
The original singing and dancing leveled, a thriving scene, but also in this blink of an eye, there was a 180-degree turn, falling into a very quiet, but slightly depressing atmosphere.
