【Lotus Cake】Spring·Summer·Autumn·Winter

One hundred years after Zhou Wuwang Ji Fa defeated Zhou.

Nezha has long been conferred the title of Great God of the Santan Haihui, leading the Tianshuai Mansion, and has countless heavenly soldiers and generals under him.

One day, Dragon King Ao Bing came with the decree of Yuanshi Tianzun. It turned out that Jumang, the god of spring in the world, was missing. Such a serious crime, even if Gou Mang is the son of Shaohao, the Western Heavenly Emperor, he might not be able to escape the punishment of heaven.

So Nezha, who took the order, reported to the Emperor of Heaven that there was a big monster on the bank of Luoshui, and he asked the lower realm to subdue it.

Ao Bing agrees, this great monster is a remnant of the broken Dragon Palace, and he has no shirking responsibility for this matter.

The two fought for the lower realm in the heavenly court, but the magic pill and the spirit beads were originally one body, so no matter how much they quarreled, there was no result. The emperor waved his hands and allowed the two to go down together.

But when they arrived in the human world, the two couldn't find the trace of Jumang Shangshen for a while. They stumbled along the way until they ran into a storyteller in a folk teahouse. The mouth was like a river, and he shouted with excitement: "...the third prince is a god descended from the sky. He just beat the dragon king prince with a fistful of heaven and earth circles. Not only that, he also peeled off his dragon scales and smoked it." Its dragon tendons pressed the dragon to roll all over the ground, begging for mercy."

Nezha, who was holding a teacup so frightened that he almost spit out, found that Ao Bing had put down his tea money and ran away before he could yell.

The Little Dragon King was upset but he couldn't say anything. After all, he buried himself in the city first. Although he saved Nezha by destroying his bones, there were still mistakes in the matter.

"If you don't like it, I'll go back and tell you a new story, that is, the lotus blossoms will bloom side by side, and the magic pill and spirit beads will fall."

Seeing Nezha singing when he opened his mouth and dancing when he raised his hand, Ao Bing pulled people away angrily and funny. They didn't come down this time to rewrite the picture book.

According to the light on the Qiankun gossip mirror, the two traveled westward for a hundred miles, and they happened to meet a family who was out to accept the lottery. The matchmaker Zhiyan went to the woman's house to inquire. Ao Bing explained aloud that if the woman agreed to the marriage, she would accept the wild goose and give her daughter's birth date. Auspicious days will be rewritten accordingly.

The Little Dragon King lowered his head and sighed, his white temples were shining with light, when Nezha looked away, he had already walked more than half a meter away.

After traveling westward for more than [-] li from the city, the two were stopped by a big mountain. Judging from the name of the mountain, this place is Cuishan, with dense fog and deep and secluded paths.

Nezha has a body of fire that overcomes wood. When he entered the mountain, he walked ahead, and the trees and flowers gave way. After walking like this for half a day, the two of them suddenly heard birds and beasts crying overhead. , I saw that the big bird has two heads. At first glance, it looks like two birds, male and female, and the wings are huge, which is very spectacular.

Seeing that the big bird was frightened and holding the little dragon king in his arms, the third prince refused to let go. His brain buzzed and he was a little annoyed, but at this moment, a gust of wind blew up above his head again, and a man in green shirt came down with the breath of the dragon, his long hair messed up by the feathers. , although he was in a mess, Nezha still recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

"God Mang God, you can make it easier for me to find you." With one hand pressing Jumang's mount, Jiaolong, and the other hand holding the thin and tall Spring God, Nezha grinned and just wanted to go again. What's wrong, this weak-looking Spring God suddenly shed tears, which scared the third prince quite a bit, he had never seen a man cry like this.

"God, now the spring is here, and everything is waiting for you in the spring. The Heavenly Lord asked us to find you back." Holding the big two-headed bird in his arms, Ao Bing knelt down and explained to the man, but after hearing this, Jumang said He was taken aback, opened his mouth and stammered for a long time before realizing that he had only been in the mountain for half an hour, but more than a month had passed in the world.

"One day in the mountains and one summer in the world, if God has any wish, he can tell me to fulfill it."

Wiping away tears, looking at Ao Bing pitifully, Gou Mang also felt that this young man looked much more pleasing to the eye than the other, not only good-looking but also polite.

"I, I am the God of Spring, and there will be a Spring Festival every year. In addition to enshrining at the ceremony, there will also be a picture of the God of Spring welcoming the Spring." As a painter, Jumang's favorite every year is to collect pictures of the Spring Festival, especially since ten years ago. In the past, after a painter surnamed Zhang took charge of this picture, Jumang never wanted to miss any Spring Festival.

"But this year, I thought he would draw the picture of welcoming the spring again, but before the spring day, I went to his mansion and found that there was a fire there. Although he saved his life, he injured his painting hands."

"So you want to grab this and give it to him?" Pointing to the big bird in Ao Bing's arms, Nezha raised his eyebrows in doubt, is this thing very sweet? !

"This thing is a raven, which can only be found in the depths of Cuishan Mountain. It is a big monster with the ability to avoid fire. As long as the raven is there, no fire can be burned." Pulling his sleeves, he looked at Ao Bing's arms eagerly. As soon as Gou Mang finished speaking, Nezha grabbed the bird by the shoulders, tied up the addicted beast, and threw him into Gou Mang's arms.

"I have something, it's time to go back, God."

Although the spring banquet was delayed by one month due to Gou Mang's running around, a painter surnamed Zhang in Luoyang had a dream at night of a man in Tsing Yi, who made friends with him, thanked him for his love for many years, and gave him a red and black gift when he left. A big bird with feathers, when the painter woke up, he really saw that big two-headed four-legged guy on the table.

The Spring Festival ceremony is over, and Ao Bing and Nezha are going back to heaven to return to their lives. On the way, they saw a stall selling paintings, and there was a picture of the third prince Nezha with three heads and six arms hanging on it. Unfortunately, his face was hideous and terrifying. I bought one and stared at the canvas and said: "If there is someone who misses you and writes like a god, then I will remember him for a long time."

When Nezha heard this, he thought it was a hint that maybe he was going to develop new skills, but when the two of them left the city gate, the third prince suddenly disappeared, and then he caught a wild goose and came back, saying that he would give it to Ao Bing, and said: There is no need for birthday horoscopes, because they must be a top-matching relationship.

Ao Bing was furious, his cheeks stained with frost were flushed, and he pointed at Nezha and cursed: "Nonsense, nonsense, I don't know what to say!"

Then he hugged the picture of the third prince Nezha and turned around and ran away.

I have a spring feast, when it rains with you.
