moonlit night

The Jade Emperor gave the Yaochi Banquet, Qiongyan No.20.Vientiane is clear in autumn, with a group of trains and jade, the world is clear and curling.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the birthday of the Immortal Emperor should be celebrated with everyone in the sky, and all nine heavens and nine heavens will join in the celebration.

As noon approached, the place where Penglai and the First Heaven met was already very lively.The holy water of Yaochi was refined by the heaven and the earth, and became clean into clouds, and the clouds spread widely between the heaven and the earth, thus becoming the first layer of heaven that divides the heaven and earth.In the past, when the fairy queen was still there, she often held peach feasts by the Yaochi Lake to feast on the immortals.Ever since she transformed into five-colored stones for Butian ten thousand years ago, Yaochi has become much deserted.Therefore, the immortal emperor's birthday was not held in Jiuchongtian, but he chose it here, which also meant to express his condolences and repel the desolation.

The late fairy queen was the last goddess in the world, and she had an old friend with Lin'an, so even if it wasn't for the emperor, he should come to Yaotai in person.

Feng Guan'er followed the Silver Crown Venerable, and was led through the magnificent stone corridor by the fairy official with a gray beard that grew beyond the tip of a whisk.The stone corridor floating above the Yaochi Lake was dug out from the volleying stone breasts with overlapping peaks, named "Bieyoudongtian".But when we got to the shore at the end, it suddenly dawned on us that we could have a panoramic view of the entire sea of ​​clouds and wonderland, which is truly amazing.

Feng Guan'er opened his eyes to look far away, and Lin'an followed him, and saw colorful smoke and mist all over the clouds, thousands of dancing cranes in the east, and flying sparrows in the west.The Lord Pleiades Sun and the Moon Star arrived at the same time in a chariot, and the enthusiasm of the sun and the beauty of the moon complement each other.The stars also shine brilliantly, but they are all covered by the scorching brilliance of the sun and the moon, looking much dimmer than usual.Such a scene of the sun and the moon shining together, and the stars fighting to celebrate, can never be found in the sky or on the earth.

"Your Majesty, there are delicious food over there!"

While talking, Feng Guan'er gave birth to a pair of gorgeous wings and flew towards the bank of Linchi.Lin'an stood on the top of the corridor without moving, allowing the steaming clouds and mists to wrap around his body gradually.Hidden in the clouds and mist is a little misty fairy, moist and misty, like a person who wants to refuse or welcome, wandering around the side of the visitor, like a mystery, but for Lin'an, she stops and refuses to leave. Soon, the man's eyebrows and white robe were also wet.

Lord Yuqing's divine breath is the most poisonous to evil spirits, but it is a sacred object that countless immortals dream of.

Not far away, ten thousand fairy boats are mooring on the Yaochi.Also floating in the pool, there are several lotus pans, jade lamps and amber cups, which cast broken stars on the surface of the water, as if they are fighting with the stars in the sky. The nightless sky is as bright as daylight.

The cup is full of Yulu wine, and the lotus plate is full of delicacies.The cups and plates have different shapes, some of which are carved into the shape of a monkey fishing for the moon, and it is a glass of fruit wine made from flat peaches and ginseng fruits.

"Is it delicious?"

Feng Guan'er lay on the shore, stretching out his arms to reach the monkey cup.After finally reaching it, I couldn't wait to pick it up, first dipped the tip of my tongue in the liquid, I felt extremely sweet, and my lips and tongue were full of peach fragrance, so I nodded vigorously, and drank it happily.

Lin'an walked to her side, seeing the child with a naive look, just after drinking the fruit wine, he reached out to take a piece of crystal clear rain cake from the lotus leaf plate.She wanted to see if the cake was really made of raindrops, so she put it under her nose and smelled it again and again, and it smelled like rain, so she held it for a while, and then swallowed it in one gulp , As expected, it is as cool and refreshing as drinking sweet rain, and most of the smell of alcohol will be eliminated.

After eating, Feng Guan'er still wanted to get the wine, but his hands didn't listen to him, and he froze in place, unable to move, and then he listened to the instructions of the venerable next to him: "You come and teach her."

A fairy in green clothes stepped forward in response, and lightly stuffed a jade pole into Feng Guan'er's hand. There was a silver hook hanging from the end of the pole, but the hook was not sharp, it was more like a decoration.The fairy also held a jade pole in her hand, shook her wrist and held the pole to tap water lightly, the silver hook sank into the water, quickly hooked on the edge of a Bodhi wine bottle, then raised the pole and threw the wine bottle along the silver hook and The silk thread connected to the jade pole slipped down and fell steadily into the fairy's palm.The whole process is like flowing clouds and flowing water, not like fetching wine, but like a graceful dance with a lively rhythm.

Fairy in Bi Yi bent her knees, held the bottle of wine to Lin An respectfully with both hands, saw that Lin An hadn't picked it up, then offered it to Feng Guan'er, then stepped aside, and went to fetch wine for other fairy families.

In fact, the immortals have long been eyeing the fine wine in the pool, but because of Lin An's presence, they dare not enjoy it too much. After coming up one by one to toast to Lord Yuqing, they retreated to the distance one after another, and boarded the pool one after another. Lianzhou has gone.

"Bah, it's so bitter." Feng Guan'er only took a sip, then turned his head and vomited on the ground, then picked up the fruit wine and rinsed his mouth vigorously, and kept breathing: "Ha, my lord, is this wine or medicine?"

"This is Buddha sandalwood." Lin'an said calmly, "it's neither wine nor medicine, but bitter. All immortals have to go through calamities when they ascend. The so-called calamity means that besides the calamity of heaven, all the flavors of the world also need to be tasted. What most people don't want to eat is bitterness. After drinking it, you will be able to suffer less bitterness in the future, which is most suitable for you."

"Drinking a few glasses of wine can save you from suffering, which sounds like a good deal." Feng Guan'er frowned, "I'm handing you the bitterness right now, but it's for you to suffer less in the future. The fairy taught me how to take wine with a silver hook, is it the same?"

"My daughter's family behaves more elegantly, don't you want?"

Feng Guan'er was not convinced: "She's being pretentious, I'm obviously straightforward and natural. For the same thing, there is obviously an easier way, why bother?"

"I asked her to teach you, not to force you to do it, but to hope that when you need it in the future, you don't have to feel unhappy because you don't know how to do it."

Feng Guan'er pouted: "I won't be unhappy about this kind of thing."

Lin'an stared at the misty rain in the pool, and said: "It's one thing to be able to use it but not to use it; it's another thing to not be able to use it. Which one do you think is more comfortable?"

Feng Guan'er finally came to his senses, it turned out that His Majesty was going to fight with him again, and at the beginning of the joint fight, he was just waiting to block him.

If you ask her to say, everything is good for your majesty, but Feng Guan'er has a lot of headaches because she is good at being a teacher.She was born with a lazy temper, and was pampered by her lord to be lawless. If an ordinary fairy was her master, she would probably just rely on it and play as she can.But if Her Majesty personally performed the knife, Feng Guan'er could only obediently admit that she was defeated. No matter if it was piano skills, Taoism, fairy art, Buddhist principles, whatever His Majesty taught, she had to grit her teeth and study hard.

There is no other reason, she hopes to please him, and also hopes that he will not be disturbed by worries and be happy every day.

Counting it, Feng Guan'er is also the only student Yu Qingjun has accepted during this long journey of immortality for tens of thousands of years.Shenzun has been all-powerful all his life, and in his early years, it was commonplace to fight with various ethnic groups. He has never been defeated in any battle, Feng Guan'er does not want Hisunity to set a precedent for failure in educating her.

"Anyway, you have to suffer. I think you should ask the person who is being toasted what kind of hardship you want to suffer more." After thinking about it, she began to avoid the most important and take the lightest. Her small face was wrinkled into a bun, but now she smiled again , like a newly blooming flower: "However, since the birth of your lord, it has been smooth and smooth. In the past, you must have drunk this Buddha sandalwood as water, right?"

"I've never drank it." Lin'an shook his head slowly, "Because they all said it was too bitter."

You Qingxiao's smile was fleeting, and Feng Guan'er caught it very keenly.She knew that she had passed this test temporarily, so she immediately stood on tiptoe, held the monkey cup to the man's lips like offering a treasure, and said obediently: "My lord, this fruit wine is delicious and sweet, do you want to try it? "

Lin'an lowered her head, and saw that the circle of water stains left by Little Phoenix when she sipped the wine earlier was still on the edge of the glass, but she didn't know how to avoid it at all, so she pointed the circle of lip marks directly to herself, raised her finger against the wine cup, and pushed opened.

"You don't know how to drink, you should stop it." His tone was as light as the smile before, without revealing the slightest clue, "Otherwise, if you get drunk, later this 'Dragon and Phoenix Show Prosperity' will turn into 'You Long Xi Drunk Phoenix ' is."

"Don't tell me I almost forgot, Your Majesty, it's my turn to play later!" Feng Guan'er immediately rubbed his hands, "I don't know why the emperor likes the dragon and the phoenix so much. However, in previous years, it was the second princess of the dragon clan who came here. It is said that their prince is going to do it in person this year, but I haven't seen him yet. Have you seen him, and am I as good-looking as I am?"

She had never met the ninth son of the Dragon Clan, so naturally she didn't know that the man in yellow clothes she saw on the East Sea was Jiu Zhe. Lin An didn't intend to point it out, but said indifferently: "You will know when you see it."

Feng Guan'er twittered to himself: "What about 'Thousand Miles of Joyful Wind'? I'll go and talk to him right away, and let him make me look good later."

Lin'an knew that she was talking about Lord Qiufeng, even if the phoenix was born to be able to dance proudly for nine days, it still needs the power of the long wind to successfully complete a magnificent performance.

Just as he was speaking, Feng Guan'er had already caught sight of the light blue shadow, who was sitting cross-legged on a small boat in the distance, blowing the breeze and drinking fine wine, and then galloped towards him.During the process, when she passed by a hurried white figure, Feng Guan'er smelled a strong fishy smell from the other person's body, almost like salted fish essence that had been soaked in a tank for hundreds of years.

"It stinks."

Feng Guan'er covered his nose, but only saw the fairy's white side face passing by, and quickly disappeared at the turn of the carved beams of the painted boat.

She looks quite good-looking, but she just looks at her face.Maybe it's a little fairy who has just ascended from the sea. She is still ignorant, and has not memorized the rules of this birthday, and came up without bathing and incense.

Feng Guan'er shook his head, quickly put this little episode behind him, and ran to find Mr. Qiufeng.Little did he know that his every move was being watched by Lin'an on the other side, not only her, he had a panoramic view of everything that happened in the Yaochi Lake and the tens of thousands of boats at this moment.

This is a god-given godhead, but because of this, it is inevitable to work hard.

Fortunately, Lin'an has already gotten used to it.

Smooth sailing?

A voice in my heart suddenly laughed mercilessly.It laughs at Youfeng's ignorance and naivety, laughs at her growing up under the blessing of the gods, and opens her eyes to see the peace and prosperity of the six worlds.Laughing, she has never seen the flames of war and blood flying, never heard the wailing and crying under the ruined walls, never experienced countless dark nights of struggling and licking wounds among mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Lin'an pressed his heart expressionlessly, and the mocking sounds stopped one after another.Since the truce ten thousand years ago, he has kept the bloodthirsty warlike in his bones locked under a Buddha-like calm appearance, and locked himself in the Taishi Hall. In the eyes of others, he looks like a dead volcano.

But Lin'an knew that it just looked dead.

It is said that in one thought of the Buddha and the devil, since Tang Ji passed away, there is only one god left in this world who can create and destroy the world.If he also goes, there will be no gods in the world, then the world will be turned upside down, the world will be in chaos, or a new balance will usher in, no one can say for sure.

In recent years, Lin'an has been indifferent to the outside world and has not interfered in any political affairs of the Heavenly Court. He just wanted to see whether the immortal emperor he had personally selected could remain true to his original intention after his fall and strive to realize their common goal. Long cherished wish.

May there be no more gods and immortal emperors in this world.May all beings be equal under the blue sky, without the division of the six realms, without strict rules and regulations, all things grow freely according to their nature, and the world runs naturally according to its laws.

May there be no more wars in the world.May parents all over the world see their beloved son grow up safely.May every child be accompanied by their parents.

What a beautiful original intention, but after only ten thousand years, everything has changed.The once-so-familiar ambitions and conspiracies, encroachment and annexation, have once again approached the eyes through the desperate eyes of those giant monsters in the water.

They not only like the dragon and the phoenix.They also want to cut off the dragon's reverse scales and turn him into an obedient mount locked under him, and they want to break off the phoenix's wings and turn her into a caged canary that cannot resist.

If it is not stopped, the blood will be just around the corner.

Raise your head, the sun is in full bloom, and noon has arrived.Lin'an stepped forward, stepping on the water towards the towering dragon boat in the center of the Yaochi, where he passed, lotuses grew at every step, and the edges of the lotus petals were jagged, like the edge of a sword, or like a sharp white bone protruding out.

The emperor is used to singing and dancing, so it's time to cut through the fig leaf of this prosperous age, let the superiors see the rotten flesh under the brocade, and listen to the weeping voices of countless creatures.
