[Lotus Lantern] Free Sky

"Little fox, the fourth princess, I have something to discuss with Laojun, so take good care of Erlang." Before the two could reply, Nuwa left the barrier first, and Laojun and the four beasts followed suit.

The six people came out of the enchantment, and Nuwa waved her robe sleeves, but she brought five people and appeared in a palace.At first glance, the five people saw auspicious mist everywhere, surrounded by auspicious clouds. Right in front of the main hall was a large jade table, with two rows of smaller jade tables on the left and right.There are no walls around the main hall, only five white marble pillars soaring into the sky, which are integrated with the white marble floor. The whole main hall is surrounded by a lotus pond. So uncomfortable.The simplicity and beauty are not stained with any impurities, and the atmosphere is still solemn and sacred. If it is not the Wa Palace, where is it?

"See Empress Nuwa" The five saluted the white-clothed woman in front of them together.

"You don't need to be too polite. I am no longer a saint. You can just call me Nuwa from now on. Everyone, please sit down." Nuwa smiled calmly and invited five people to sit down.

"This statement is wrong! In the past, the concubine's achievements in repairing the sky and creating people are unprecedented, how can it be easily obliterated?" The six sat down, and Qinglong spoke eloquently.Although among the seven saints, only Nuwa is a woman, but this merit does not distinguish between men and women.Even if she is a man, few of her two achievements can be easily achieved, and Qinglong and the others are most admired.

"Shenjun Mengzhang's words are reasonable, and the empress must not underestimate herself." At the beginning, Hongjun preached three times, which lasted for 6000 years.Then the seven holy positions were entrusted, and the Sanqing was the authentic Pangu, with the merits of opening the sky, and won the three holy positions.So although Taishang Laojun is also a saint, but in all honesty, compared with the original Tianzun, Tongtian leader and Nuwa, he got the holy position through his own hard work.However, Sanqing got the three holy positions because of inheriting the merits of Pan Gu and opening up the sky. In fact, there is really nothing to show off.

"Thanks to all of you, but it's Nuwa's slip of the tongue." Nuwa looked around, relaxed and laughed as if laughing at herself: "Actually, Nuwa thinks that the name of a saint is really tiring, so don't worry about it." She said and stood Standing up, the other five people saw her standing up from the jade seat and walking down. Since they couldn't sit alone, they all stood up too. Nuwa walked down the steps slowly and said: "From now on, you can't wait in front of others." Call me like this again. Although I am not Yao Ji, but after entering the Three Realms, I can only be Yao Ji. You can understand!" Although Nu Wa said this with a smile, she had a certain majesty that could not be contradicted by others.

The four beasts seem to understand but not understand, but Taishang Laojun is a person who understands.It's not wrong to talk less in the future, and I am an alchemist in the first place, although this is also a helpless move.For a while, everyone was speechless, and the hall fell silent.In the end, it was still Nuwa who spoke first: "Old Master, how long will you have to cast the sleeping curse, why don't you undo it sooner. According to my observation, Yang Jian seems to have fallen into his own dream, and I'm afraid something will happen after a long time! "

"Oh! How did the old man forget about this!" In fact, Taishang Laojun wanted to undo the sleeping spell when he came back from Tianya Haijiao, so as not to destroy everything by Kaitian Shenaxe and Kunlun Mountain guys.It was only delayed because of the sudden appearance of the Four Beasts and Nuwa in the Tushita Palace.

"Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, Xuanwu, you go back first. If there is a need in the future, I will go to you."

"That's it, His Majesty the God King, please ask your mother! Farewell!" With Nuwa guarding Yang Jian's side, the four beasts really felt relieved.And when the couple is reunited, let's join in the fun!The four beasts clasped their fists together and saluted as they said, before turning away.

After seeing off the four beasts, Nuwa returned to Tushita Palace with the Taishang Laojun.Taishang Laojun went straight to the bed to feel Yang Jian's pulse.

"Aunt, Laojun"

"Grandma, Grandpa Laojun"

"En." Nuwa only responded, and then turned to Laojun who was feeling the pulse, "Old gentleman, when will Erlang wake up?"

"Princess, Erlang Zhenjun, I'm afraid he is really in a dream." Taishang Laojun seemed to feel his pulse, but in fact he had unknowingly lifted the sleeping curse on Yang Jian.Yang Jian has always been a light sleeper, there is no reason why he didn't react at all after the sleeping spell was lifted.

"Wait for me to go in and have a look!" Said Huaguang and entered Yang Jian's dream.

in the dream,

"Father, mother, eldest brother, have a taste of how Erlang's craftsmanship has improved today?" The whole family sat around a table, having fun.

"Erlang's craftsmanship is naturally the best!" A young man who looked about 20 years old and well dressed was drooling, his eyes fixed on the delicious food on the table, and he kept applauding.

"Da Lang, you just focus on eating. You slipped faster than anyone else when you were cooking just now!" The middle-aged man in a gray cloth shirt next to him looked at his eldest son and pretended to scold him.

"Where is Dalang, Dalang is going to help Erlang collect firewood, right Erlang!" The young man named Dalang tried his best to pretend to be wronged, and repeatedly turned his white shirt to one side. The younger brother blinked for help.

"Father, mother, elder brother, he—" the white-clothed boy called Erlang spoke halfway, looking at his elder brother hesitantly.I saw that the man called Da Lang immediately became nervous, looking at his younger brother helplessly as if begging.The younger brother in white pretended to think deeply and said, "Brother, he is indeed going to help me collect firewood." Dalang put his heart back into his stomach after hearing this, but he didn't notice that the younger brother in white turned his head and secretly laugh.

All this was clearly seen by the woman in white sitting on the right side of the upper head. The woman in white smiled slightly, pretending not to see it, and then coughed twice pretending to be serious: "Da Lang, Er Lang, there are too many grasses behind our house. After eating, half of the grass is pulled out by each person. Remember, no force is allowed."

"Ah—" the two of them froze for a moment when they heard this, one was putting food into his mouth, the other was swallowing, and they all stopped.

"Ah what, I finish pulling it out before dinner today." After a pause, he added: "There is no need to discuss! Don't eat yet!"

The two brothers looked at each other, feeling quite like a brother in need, and held sympathetic eyes to each other.Then continue to eat as if nothing happened.

After the meal, the two young men really went to the back mountain to pull weeds.Nu Wa followed the two to the back mountain from afar, and the two brothers talked and laughed and fought, and finally turned into throwing at each other with the grass that had just been pulled up in their hands, and started a grass war.This younger brother is obviously obsessed with cleanliness, so most of the time he uses his robe sleeves to block the weeds thrown by the other party. Although he frowns from time to time, his handsome face is always filled with a happy smile.The two brothers had a great time, and in the blink of an eye, it was dusk, and the father's loving call came from a distance: "Dalang, Erlang, go home for dinner."

So the two ran back home chasing and playing, and soon the moon was on the top of the willow, and the family sat together, the father was kind and the son was filial, listening to the mother telling the story of Chang'e flying to the moon.Summer insects are chirping, the evening breeze is blowing, the mother is stroking the hair of the two sons, and the father is fanning the wind slowly beside him.What a beautiful night, what a harmonious and happy family.

Empress Nuwa who was hiding aside hesitated, did she really want to break this beautiful dream?Although this is just a dream, maybe only in this dream can Yang Jian get the life he wants, although it is not real.But is it really going to be broken?Recalling what I saw in the water mirror when I was in the ancient realm of nothingness, Yang Jian has never lived a day as relaxed and carefree as in this dream since his family changed, no!No!Do you really want to break it?Nu Wa is very tangled now.

Just when Empress Nuwa was hesitating, the voice of ancestor Hongjun sounded in her ears: "Nuwa, if you can't pull Yang Jian out of the dream, the new Tiantian will never be promulgated and implemented smoothly. Efforts will be in vain”

"Why?" Nuwa was puzzled, and she didn't have the time to worry about when she was being watched by Hongjun, so she asked directly. "Could it be?"

"That's right, it's that drop of blood. Back when the second generation of heaven was established, because of your merits of creating man and mending the sky, you won the support and love of all beings in the three realms. It can be said that you took advantage of the time and place to win harmony between people, so Fuxi and I It was decided that you would compile the Tiantiao. At that time, because you compiled the Tiantiao, it only respected you. In desperation, you had no choice but to add the sage's proverbs to the Tiantiao, stipulating that only the ruler of the three realms can be the master of the Tiantiao , and you must sacrifice it with your own blood. If Tiantiao recognizes his blood, Tiantiao can use it. Now the new Tiantiao inherits your sage motto, but you know that the new Tiantiao was actually compiled by Yang Jian, and Yang Jian When being tortured in the Lingxiao Palace, a drop of blood splashed on the colorful stone and melted with the colorful stone. This shows that the new Tiantiao on the colorful stone only respects Yang Jian from now on, and will no longer recognize others as the master. So you must break Yang Jian's dream Otherwise, the new Tiantiao will become a display in the Lingxiao Palace." The first few words were filled with a hint of resignation, but the last sentence was only a resolute and unresistable order.

"Ancestor Hongjun, don't you think it's too cruel? Why? Is it a luxury to even have a dream?" What answered her was the silence of the surrounding night and the boundless loneliness.

"Heaven! I hate you—" Nu Wa ran to the wilderness where there was no one and roared.When she was a saint before, she felt that the way of heaven was a very natural thing.But now she hates it so much. At this moment, she has the urge to restore the body of a saint. Maybe a word from the saint can change the current passivity and powerlessness, and make the person she wants to protect forever indulge in this happy dream.But how could the identity and spiritual power of this saint be what she said she didn't want, she said she wanted it!

The first ray of sunlight in the morning pierced through the darkness, dispelling the melancholy of the night, and Empress Nuwa forced herself to hide herself and came to the big tree not far from the small courtyard. In the courtyard, the middle-aged man was reading a book, and the eldest son was practicing martial arts. The wife was combing the youngest son's hair, stroking the youngest son's soft hair with gentle hands, the younger son smiled with crooked eyebrows, and was carving something with a knife in his hand:

"Mother, Erlang made a wooden hairpin, and Erlang will put it on for Mother later."

"Okay!" My mother also smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked.

Finally, after the family had breakfast, the mother told the two brothers to go to the mountains to hunt some game.When the two brothers separated, Nvwa appeared with Yaoji's face.

"Mother, why are you here?" The boy in white felt that the mother in front of him was a bit strange.

"Erlang, if Mother told you that this was just a dream, would you believe it?"

"Mother..." the boy in white lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head again, his eyes were full of determination, "Of course I know this is just a dream. Mother, isn't this dream good?"

"Erlang, let him pass the past. The living must live. You can't always indulge in your dreams like this."

"But, Erlang is dead, and Erlang can finally be reunited with his parents and elder brother. Mom, aren't you happy? Or are you blaming me for not taking good care of my sister?"

"So that's how it is." Only now did Nuwa suddenly realize that Yang Jian thought, "Erlang, you're still alive. You're just asleep."

"Just fell asleep?" The white-clothed boy was surprised, and then regained his composure, "Then I am willing to sleep forever, so that I can be with my family forever. Mother, don't you want Erlang to be by your side for so many years?" ?”

"Erlang, the new Tiantiao has not been implemented smoothly, you can't just sleep on it." Regarding the recognition of the Lord of the Tiantiao blood sacrifice, few people in the Three Realms today know, even Yao Ji has no way of knowing.So Empress Nuwa did not dare to say it too clearly, lest she reveal the secret and cause unpredictable consequences.

"The Queen Mother of the Jade Emperor will resolve this matter." The tone was firm.

"The Three Holy Mothers need your care." Although Nuwa didn't want to mention this stupid woman, she knew that Yang Chan was Yang Jian's weakness, so she had no choice but to use it.

"Chen Xiang has grown up, he will take good care of the third sister." Although Yang Jian felt that the mother in front of him was a little weird today, he couldn't think of a reason.

"I'm your mother, I'm still alive, I'm not dead!" Although a saint is not allowed to lie, but now Nuwa is no longer a saint, so she can speak whatever she wants, and she no longer has to be cautious about what she will bring to the Three Realms and herself Bad consequences too.

"What did you say?" Yang Jian was really shocked this time.Should he believe in the facts that his celestial eyes saw back then, or should he believe in the person in front of him?Yang Jian's heart is wandering between reason and emotion.Logically speaking, he should believe in the Celestial Eye, but he still has such a small extravagant hope that his mother really still lives in this Three Realms.
