[Bound 2] Entanglement

First of all, I would like to tell you a good news. The book "Bound 2" will be continued in the future. The specific time is uncertain, and the previous plot may be changed first.However, the latter is a brand new plot, with relatively little connection with the previous one.

[Warning, this chapter is not an extra episode of this book, you can choose not to read it, it is just a spoof article about Qixi Festival. 】

In a sparsely populated village, there lived a handsome young man, because his family had a smart and capable scalper.People in the village called him Niu Lang.Niulang has no other family members, and lives with the scalper.

In the middle of the day and night, a little fairy boy in Tsing Yi came to the cattle shed. He sat on the back of the cattle and began to talk to the cattle.

"Ah Huang, when are you going back? I'm so boring in the sky alone."

"No, I haven't repaid my kindness yet... After I have repaid my kindness, I will naturally go back." The scalper said suddenly.If other people see it, they must be shocked.

The ox turned out to be one of the mounts under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and this time it came down to the world only to repay the favor of not killing the cowherd in his previous life.

"Come on, you are just greedy for the prosperity of this world, and you don't want to go back. You have wasted several opportunities to repay your favor. Tell me, did you do it on purpose?"

"Why did I lie to you? I guarantee with my character that Niu is the most honest and sincere. The previous few times... I just felt that there was no need to repay the favor." Ah Huang replied with erratic eyes.

"Really or not? Could it be that you fell in love with that kid?" The little fairy boy suddenly rolled over from the back of the bull, and sat in front of Ah Huang, his round eyes shone with a mysterious light.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I, I'm a man, how could it be..." Before the scalper finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Xiantong.

"Don't talk about the male and the female. The white snake and the green snake before are just two females? And what about Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai." The little fairy boy lay casually on the ground covered with hay, With both hands resting on the back of the head, Erlang's legs are crossed, and the ankles are shaking up and down rhythmically.

"Where did you hear these common things? So Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are a man and a woman?" Ah Huang said incredulously.

"You don't know that, do you? I checked it secretly. That Zhu Yingtai is really a man. If there is a man and a woman, can he be forced to jump off a cliff and turn into a butterfly?" Xiao Xiantong turned over and over again. Lie down on the hay.

"Let me tell you, don't look at the current gods who are pure-hearted and ascetic, their thinking is much more insightful than these ordinary people."

At this moment, a string of silver bells around Xiao Xiantong's waist suddenly rang.

"Oops, Doze'er was found, I'll go back first!" After Xiao Xiantong finished speaking, he disappeared with a whoosh.

Ah Huang shook his head helplessly, but Niu Yan couldn't help looking into the room.It closed its eyes, and its consciousness quietly floated into the Cowherd's dream.

Cowherd's dream is always two monotonous colors, ink and white.However, this kind of dream is surprisingly clean, without any impurities, like a very poetic ink painting.

At this time, Niulang was flying a kite on the lawn alone, while Ah Huang watched him quietly from a distance.

Niulang tilted his head slightly, found Ah Huang, ran over, and asked innocently, "Ah Huang, do you want to fly a kite together?"

"Huh? How do you know my name?" Ah Huang was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the cowherd to know who he was.

"Hmm... I don't know either. I was just thinking. I usually stay with my scalper. It is impossible for a strange son to appear, right? So you should be Ah Huang." Niulang said his judge.

Ah Huang could only smile slightly, and said, "If you think I am, then I am."

"Then why stand still? Let's fly the kite together." Cowherd said, grabbed Ah Huang's hand and flew the kite together.

The next morning, the Cowherd got up early and fed the cattle.

"Ah Huang, do you know? I dreamed of a young man with the same name as yours yesterday. He looks so handsome."

While feeding the cattle carrots, the cowherd talked about what he dreamed of last night.

However, the scalper seemed to be unable to understand what the cowherd was saying, and kept eating there, but his tail was wagging very happily.

In this way, Ah Huang often went to the Cowherd's dream and talked to the Cowherd.

Until this day, Xiao Xiantong suddenly ran over to find Ah Huang.

"I also said where did you go? It turned out that you ran to someone else's house in a dream." Xiao Xiantong said with a smile while sitting on the wall.

"Why are you here?" Ah Huang looked nervously at the Cowherd who was painting.

"Of course I came to look for you. Don't worry, he can't see me. I came this time to tell you about a good opportunity to repay your kindness. Don't miss it this time." The little fairy boy relaxed from the fence. Song jumped down and walked to Ah Huang's side.

"What good opportunity?" Ah Huang looked at Xiao Xiantong curiously.

"I heard that the seven daughters of the Queen Mother are going to come down to take a bath privately, and they are in the Qingquan Tan nearby here. Son!"

The little fairy boy walked around Ah Huang and expressed his thoughts.

Ah Huang didn't listen to anything, and just memorized the words "marry a wife and have children".

He looked up at Cowherd, feeling melancholy in his heart.

"But... mortals and gods cannot intermarry." Ah Huang suddenly thought of this.

"If you don't tell me, I'll forget about it." Xiao Xiantong rubbed his nose and said a little embarrassedly.

"Then just pretend I didn't say anything." Xiao Xiantong disappeared in a blink of an eye after speaking.

"Ah Huang, come and take a look at my painting."

Hearing the cowherd's voice, Ah Huang hurried forward and found that there was a lifelike and handsome young man in the painting, and it was none other than himself.

"Is this... are you painting me?" Ah Huang asked in disbelief.

"Of course, how about it? Looks good." Cowherd said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's pretty nice."

"This painting is for you." Seeing Ah Huang smiling, Niu Lang thought he was very happy, so he gave the painting to him.

"Many, thank you." Ah Huang politely expressed his thanks.

A few days later, the Cowherd picked up a very beautiful neon dress and feather coat on the way home. This was the first time that the Cowherd had seen such a beautiful dress.

There are all kinds of colors on it, which is really beautiful.He thought it was dropped by someone, and waited for a long time at the same place, but no one came.Seeing that it was getting dark, I had to take my clothes and go home.

"Ah Huang, take a look at what I picked up on the road today?" The cowherd took the clothes and walked to the cowshed.

"The clothes are really beautiful. It's the first time I've seen such beautiful clothes." The cowherd took the clothes and looked left and right, very surprised.

Ah Huang recognized at a glance that this is not an ordinary dress, isn't this the one that Zhinu often wears?That's a god, how could the Cowherd afford to offend him?

Just watching the scalper move his mouth, he suddenly spoke human words.

"Niulang, return this clothes quickly."

"Wow, you, why are you talking?!" Cowherd was startled by Ah Huang, and fell to the ground.

"I was originally a divine cow in the sky. This time I came down to the earth for training. You should return the clothes first." Ah Huang briefly explained his background, but he still wanted the cowherd to return the clothes as soon as possible.

After listening to Ah Huang's words, Niu Lang hurried back the same way before it was dark. Just as he put down his clothes, he heard a sound from Qingshuitan not far away.

"Who is it? Give me the clothes quickly." The voice was as clear and sweet as a silver bell.

Cowherd hurriedly took the clothes over, only looking at a young girl with her back turned to him, her snowy back made people salivate.

"Girl, girl, I didn't do it on purpose. I just thought the dress was very nice. I waited for a long time, but no one wanted it. That's why I took it away. I'm returning it to you now." Cowherd said, putting the clothes on Putting it by the clear water pool, I turned my back to my body and didn't dare to look back.

"Now we can't keep up with the Dragon Treading the Moon Horse who is going back to heaven, what should we do?" After putting on her clothes, Zhinu was quite anxious.

Niulang didn't know anything about the heavens, so he had to keep apologizing.

"Okay, turn around."

After listening to Zhinu's words, Cowherd turned around quickly, and was stunned when he saw Zhinu's astonished face.

Seeing Cowherd's bewildered look, Zhinu couldn't help covering her lips and smiling shyly.

"Why are you staring at me so blankly?"

"Ah, what an offense. The girl is so beautiful. If I'm not careful, I'll be stupefied." Cowherd lowered his head embarrassedly, but with those eyes, he still couldn't help looking at Weaver Girl twice more.

"Anyway, I can't go back to the Heavenly Court now, why don't you let me stay for a few days? When the sisters come to pick me up and return to the Heavenly Court, I will definitely thank you." Zhinu said with a smile.

"That, that is absolutely impossible, this lonely, lonely man and widow..." Cowherd shook his head vigorously and refused.

"Idiot, I didn't see it, did I see you?" Weaver Girl laughed.It was the first time she met such an interesting mortal. When she descended to the mortal world before, those mortals stared at her lewdly.But the cowherd just stared at her blankly, and he didn't intend to take advantage of her at all, which made her feel very novel.

"How can this be? The girl is a fairy in the sky. How can I fall into the girl's eyes as an ordinary person." After the cowherd finished speaking, he turned around and ran away.

Seeing that Cowherd ran away, Zhinu found it very interesting, and then followed him leisurely.

After Niulang ran home, he turned around and didn't find Zhinu following him, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you looking for me?" A voice like a silver bell sounded from in front of him, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhinu standing upright at the door of his house.

"Grandmother, you, please forgive me, our dilapidated thatched cottage is really not worthy of the honorable status of a girl." Cowherd said rather embarrassed.

"I don't dislike it, why are you in a hurry? Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you." Zhinu said and turned around, and the beautiful clothes on her body turned into coarse linen.

"Is it okay now? I'm like you." Zhinu looked at her clothes and said.

Cowherd saw that Zhinu had done so, and it was hard to drive her away, so he had to take Zhinu in.

Originally, Cowherd planned to wait for Weaver Girl to fall asleep at night, so he could go to Scalper to discuss countermeasures, but Weaver Girl acted preemptively and gave him a sleep technique.Zhinu got up suddenly and ran quietly to the cowshed.

"I didn't expect that idiot to have a fairy fate. Tell me, what are you doing here?" Zhinu looked at the scalper.

"Xiaoxian, see His Royal Highness Seventh Princess." Ah Huang turned into a human form and paid homage to Zhinu.

"Xiaoxian came down to earth this time to repay her kindness. I ask Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess to pretend that Xiaoxian doesn't exist." Ah Huang bowed his head respectfully, never daring to look at Zhinu.

"Repaying kindness? Are you talking about that idiot?" Zhinu raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Yes."

"Then how about you tell him that I am his true destiny and let him marry me?"

"Well, how can this be done? Your Royal Highness Seventh Princess, you are a fairy in the sky, how can you marry an ordinary person?" Ah Huang couldn't help but look up at Zhinu, trembling slightly for some reason.

"Don't you want to repay your kindness? Let him marry a fairy in the sky. Not everyone can have it. I, I like him." Zhinu looked at her slender hands and said lightly.

"Your Highness Seventh Princess, you know that if the Queen Mother finds out, you two..." Ah Huang was interrupted by Zhinu before she could finish speaking.

"That's a matter between the two of us, it has nothing to do with you, and I will protect him well, you just sit down as I said, and the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the sky seems to miss you very much, you should hurry up and finish your favor, Just go back."

"Then he...does he like you? If you force it, it can't be called repayment."

"Of course he likes me, he was stunned when he saw me." Weaver Girl smiled sweetly.

"but......"

"Huh? I advise you not to be ignorant of good and evil. If you don't do what I say, I will make you never go back." Zhinu's eyes suddenly became fierce.

Ahuang was so frightened that he shook his body, knelt down quickly and said, "Your Highness Seventh Princess, calm down, Xiaoxian, let's entrust the dream to Cowherd."

After speaking, Ah Huang turned into a scalper again, and then his consciousness floated into the Cowherd's dream.

This is the first time that the cowherd's dream is colorful, which made Ah Huang slightly taken aback.

Maybe, Zhinu is really his destiny.

"Ah Huang! Ah Huang, you are here! Look at the many beautiful colors here, and I have prepared a gift for you." The cowherd held a colorful dress with his hands behind his back.

"Cowherd... Did you meet a fairy today?" Ah Huang hesitated for a while, and finally asked.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Cowherd retracted the clothes he was about to take out.

"I made a fortune... She will be your half, you must cherish her." A Huang looked at Niu Lang with sadness in his eyes inadvertently.

"After that, I shouldn't appear in your dreams again." Ah Huang looked at Niulang very apologetically.

Cowherd was taken aback for a moment, and the colorful clothes behind him disappeared in an instant.

"Why? Are you right? That girl is really my one?" Cowherd looked at Ah Huang, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Listen, you will like her more and more in the days to come, you will have a pair of children, and you will live happily ever after." Ah Huang suddenly took out a bunch of yellow bells from his waist, and then began to hypnotize the cow. Lang.

Cowherd started talking after Ah Huang in a daze.

Seeing that the hypnosis was successful, Ah Huang turned around and left without looking back, but he didn't know that the Cowherd behind him silently shed two lines of tears when he saw his receding figure.

Later, Cowherd's memory was tampered with by Zhinu, who was just a fleeing girl he met on the road, and the scalper could not speak.Afterwards, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl got married and had children and lived a happy life, and also gave birth to a pair of sons and daughters.

"Hey, why don't you go back?" The cowherd took his children to pick wild fruits that day, and the weaver girl chatted with the scalper at home alone.

"I haven't repaid my favor yet, so I can't go back like this." Ah Huang was too lazy to transform into a human form, so he knelt down on the ground in the posture of a scalper.

At this time, the sky was clear, but suddenly it was covered with dark clouds and the wind was strong.The ink clouds in the sky gathered to form a giant ink-colored dragon, rolling in the clouds.

"Zhinu, you have descended to earth without permission and intermarried with mortals. You violated the rules of heaven. Today, I am ordering you to be arrested by the Queen Mother!" After the black dragon finished speaking in the sky, a black whirlwind came Sweeping thatched huts.

The cowherd who was about to go home saw this scene and ran back home quickly.I just watched Zhinu fighting the whirlwind with fairy magic.

"It's not your turn to take care of this fairy's affairs. If you want to arrest me, let's see if you have the ability!" Zhinu's eyes became fierce, and she called out her purple sword and fought.

"My lady! What's going on, my lady?" Cowherd was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

However, the current Weaver Girl still has no scruples about getting him.At this time, the Queen Mother actually made a move in person.

"Zhinu! How long are you going to be self-willed? Don't come back to me!" The queen mother was furious, and with a wave of her jade hand, a golden light covered Zhinu's body. Zhinu couldn't move, so she could only fly up to the sky.Seeing this, Cowherd quickly grabbed Zhinu's feet.

"My lady! Where are you going, my lady?"

"Husband, husband, let go! You can't beat the sky, let go, and I will definitely come back to find you later!" Zhinu didn't want to see Cowherd get hurt.But the Cowherd was unwilling to let go, so he was taken into mid-air.

"Ordinary people of your generation, don't pester my daughter again!" The queen mother said, and immediately ordered Molong to spray a river to separate the two.Cowherd struggled desperately in the water.

Seeing this scene, Ah Huang on the ground quickly cut off the horns on his head, turned into a boat, and rescued the Cowherd.

Cowherd passed out after being rescued, and Ahuang turned into a human form and settled down the Cowherd.

He knew that it was time for him to repay his favor.

He gently stroked the cowherd's face, and then entered the cowherd's dream.

"Who are you? Can you save my wife? She is a fairy in the sky. She has been captured and returned. Please save him." Cowherd begged Ahuang while holding him.

Ah Huang was slightly taken aback, he didn't know that Cowherd had forgotten him after not coming to the dreamland for so long, but it didn't matter, after all, there was no need to remember.

"I am the scalper in your family. In fact, I am the divine cow in the sky. This time, I came down to earth just to repay my kindness. My time limit has come. When you wake up, wear my cowhide, and you will be able to resist the heavenly soldiers and the heavenly warriors." If you hurt me, my horn can turn into a boat and take you to the mouth of the Milky Way. You just need to wait there, and you will meet Zhinu in a short time." Ah Huang said and disappeared.

The Cowherd stood there blankly, not knowing why, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable, as if something was wrong, but he didn't know what went wrong.

When the cowherd woke up, the ox disappeared, and there were only a pair of horns and a ox leather jacket beside him.

He hurriedly followed Ah Huang's instructions and took a pair of children on a boat made of horns, and then headed for the Milky Way in the sky.

But Ah Huang returned to the sky and found Guanyin Bodhisattva.

At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva is playing mahjong with several gods, and her opposite seat is the Emperor of Heaven.

Ah Huang came in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and suddenly knelt down.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva, this time to repay my kindness, I also ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to help my disciple." Ah Huang knelt there upright and said very sincerely.

"Have you comprehended it?" Guanyin Bodhisattva touched the cards in his hand, and accidentally messed up again.The Heavenly Emperor sitting opposite already owed her thousands of flat peaches.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva stays in the mortal world for so long because of his disciple's aptitude. Now, this disciple has fully comprehended it." Ah Huang bowed his head respectfully.

"What did you understand?" Guanyin Bodhisattva stopped and turned to look at Ah Huang.

"Give it up, let it go." When Ah Huang said this, there was not much expression on his face, but tears fell from his eyes uncontrollably.

"It's good if you understand it, Heavenly Emperor. Look at this matter, what should you do?" Guanyin Bodhisattva turned to look at Heavenly Emperor.

The Emperor of Heaven was slightly taken aback, took the chicken in the mahjong, and threw it towards the Milky Way next to him, saying: "Oh, I'm afraid I can't play if this card is missing one card."

While talking, the chicken card that fell into the Milky Way suddenly flashed a golden light, attracting countless magpies to build a magpie bridge for Cowherd and Weaver Girl.

"How?" Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Ah Huang and asked.

"Thank you Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Heavenly Emperor made it perfect!" Ah Huang saluted again.

"But you've paid too much for your kindness." Queen Mother Xi couldn't help complaining on the mahjong table.

"Husband! Husband, our love has moved the heavens." Zhinu stepped onto the magpie bridge and hugged Cowherd.

Cowherd was slightly taken aback, and then gently pushed Zhinu away: "This, this is very good..."

He remembered... The person he really likes is Ah Huang, why did it become like this?Cowherd didn't know why, and felt extremely uncomfortable, but he dared not tell anyone about his discomfort.

"Ah Huang, let's go, there's nothing to see." Xiao Xiantong urged the handsome man standing behind him.

Ah Huang quickly came back to his senses, turned around and followed.

Niulang seemed to have heard someone calling Ah Huang, and hurriedly looked over, only seeing a figure who looked like Ah Huang walking further and further away.

He couldn't help calling out in a low voice.

"Ah Huang..."

After that, every year on July [-]th, there will be such a spectacle as the Magpie Bridge at both ends of the Milky Way, and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will definitely meet each other on this day.

And every year at this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva will play mahjong with several gods in the sky in the pavilion at the Milky Way Ferry.Every year, the same handsome man stood by her side, sometimes looking at the magpie bridge, sometimes bowing his head and smiling wryly.

For Ah Huang, I am afraid that no one is looking forward to the coming of Qixi Festival more than him...
