The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 48 Back to Heaven
【South Tianmen】

When Xia Yu came down to earth, he only had a few red strings in his pocket.

When she came back, she carried a big bag containing her cell phone, Gobang, spicy noodles, snacks, and a freshly baked roast duck...

"Who is it?" Before Erlang Shen finished speaking, he had already arrived in front of Xia Yu.

"My humble servant greets Erlang Shen." Xia Yu showed the token on his waist to Erlang Shen, and said with a smile, "I just came down to earth on the orders of my master. You haven't forgotten, have you?"

From a distance, Xiaotian Dog smelled the "roast duck smell" in Xia Yu's bag.

"Wang! Wang Wang Wang!"

Xiaotian Dog stopped Xia Yu and stared at the big bag in Xia Yu's hand.

Erlang Shen also looked at the bag in Xia Yu's hand warily and asked, "What's in the bag?"

Isn’t this a question that you don’t know why?
Even Roaring Sky Dog can smell the roast duck. You, Erlang Shen, are a god with divine eyes. Can’t you see what’s in this bag?
After Xia Yu finished complaining in his heart, he still smiled and opened the bag to show Erlang Shen, saying: "This is a roast duck bought from a century-old roast duck restaurant in the mortal world. Would you like to try it?"

Erlang Shen was disdainful, but Roaring Sky Dog couldn't help it any longer and kept hovering around Xia Yu's bag.

"What are the others?" Erlang Shen asked.

Finally it's Xia Yu's turn to show off.

She took them out one by one and introduced them to Erlang Shen with a smile: "This is a mobile phone for mortals. It can replace the Clairvoyance and Super Ear. This is called Gobang, a game that mortals like to play. Oh... these are snacks that mortals like to eat... Coincidentally, I also like to eat..., especially these spicy strips..."

Erlang Shen didn't quite understand what he heard, but he was very sure of one thing: Xia Yu came to the mortal world really for the purpose of "eating".

"Woof woof woof!" Xiaotian Dog barked at Xia Yu again, as if wanting Xia Yu to share some food with it.

"Roaring Sky Dog."

At a glance from Erlang Shen, Roaring Sky Dog immediately moved aside pitifully.

"Go away!" Erlang Shen said to Xia Yu.

"Thank you, Erlang Shen." Xia Yu said happily.

Just like ordinary people need to go through security checks when they take a train, gods also need to go through security checks when they descend to earth or return to heaven.

There is a Sky Eye passage outside the South Gate of Heaven, where the gods are inspected by the Sky Eye. If the light is green, they can pass, but if the light is red, they cannot.

If a deity who has been confined or committed a crime wants to descend to the mortal world, the Heavenly Eye will light up a red light and inform Erlang Shen of the reason why he will not let him go.

Naturally, only the gods of the Ninth Heaven can go to heaven. Other gods who want to go to heaven need to apply in advance and obtain the consent of the Jade Emperor or Queen Mother before they can pass the inspection of the Heavenly Eye.

This rule was added after the Monkey King made a big fuss in Heaven.

After Xia Yu passed the "Sky Eye" inspection and was about to leave, he saw Xiaotian Dog's eager eyes and couldn't help but broke off a duck leg and threw it to it.

……

【Marriage Hall】

Xia Yu walked into the door quietly, worried about waking up her sleeping master.

"came back?"

As soon as she entered the yard, Xia Yu heard her master's voice.

After a while, Yue Lao came out holding his whisk.

"Master..." Xia Yu quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake, "I know I was wrong." Yue Lao swung the whisk in his hand, and the bag in Xia Yu's hand immediately fell into his hands, "Is this... the reason why you secretly came to the mortal world?"

The aroma of roast duck wafted into Yue Lao's nose. Yue Lao glanced at it pretending to be indifferent, and suddenly his appetite surged...

I didn't expect that the roast duck made by this mortal would also have a unique aroma. This dish really suits his appetite. He can make it often in the future. He will mention this suggestion to the God of Food another day.

"Master, please understand... I came to the mortal world to save the marriages of several destined couples. If you don't believe me, you can call my second senior brother to ask. My second senior brother knows everything about my life in the mortal world." Seeing that Yue Lao's face was not very good, Xia Yu quickly mentioned her second senior brother.

"Just think of it as you doing business!" Yue Lao took out the phone Xia Yu brought back and asked, "Then why did you bring these mortal things back?"

She couldn't tell her master that she brought back the mortal's cell phone just to make it easier to contact her friends in the mortal world, right?
"Master, it's been hundreds of years since I came down to the mortal world. I think the things used by mortals are new and interesting, so I thought of... bringing them back as a souvenir..." Xia Yu explained.

"What about the roast duck..." Yue Lao hesitated to speak.

"This roast duck..." Xia Yu was reluctant to give it up, but still gritted his teeth and smiled: "This is what I brought back to honor you, Master."

After hearing this, Yue Lao smiled knowingly and said, "My disciple is thoughtful."

"It's my duty..." Xia Yu said with a smile.

"But..." Yue Lao suddenly asked again: "Why is this roast duck... missing a duck leg?"

! !
Oops! I forgot about that!
You can’t say... that a duck leg was snatched away by Roaring Sky Dog, right?

With Erlang Shen there, how could Xiaotian Dog dare to act rashly?

But it can't be said that she gave it to Roaring Sky Dog!
She just said that she brought roast duck specially for her master, and suddenly she said that she gave Xiaotian Dog a duck leg. This is too...

Xia Yu's face turned red, and after a while he explained: "Master, please forgive me. On the way back, I couldn't help but... secretly ate a duck leg."

I thought her master would be angry after hearing this, but unexpectedly he suddenly laughed heartily and returned Xia Yu's bag to her.

"That's okay. Since you like it, then enjoy it with me!" Yue Lao said, and went into the house.

Ok?
eat together?

Did she hear it correctly?
"Yes, Master." Xia Yu got up from the ground with a smile on his face and followed Yue Lao happily.

……

As soon as the magic was used, the roast duck was divided into two plates, with Yue Lao's plate having more.

The master and the disciple sat down face to face, and Xia Yu considerately poured a glass of peach blossom wine for Yue Lao.

"I went to the mortal world..." Yue Lao asked Xia Yu while eating roast duck and drinking wine, "How do you feel?"

Xia Yu originally just wanted to eat roast duck quietly, but her master started asking questions again, so she had to stop and answer: "Well... it's more prosperous than what the master said, and the mortals are easy to get along with. In the process of completing the task, I made a few mortal friends, and they are all very kind..."

"So what do you think... is it better to be a mortal? Or is it better to be a god?" Yue Lao asked with a smile.

Xia Yu thought for a moment and said, "I think each has its own merits. As Master knows, I was also a mortal in my previous life. Because I couldn't forget my past life, the King of Hell arranged for me to be reborn as a gardenia. Master valued me and I became his disciple. The world is changing with each passing day. Today's world is completely different from the world I was in in my previous life."

"Oh..." Yue Lao gently put down his wine glass, suddenly became interested, and asked, "How is it different?"

Xia Yu took another bite of duck meat and continued, "One day in heaven is like one year on earth. I have been in heaven for five hundred years, and there have been no major changes there. But the mortal world is different. This time I came to the mortal world, I saw many interesting and powerful things, everything was my first time. Being a god, you can stay young and immortal, but the years are long, and you will get tired of the monotonous life. Mortals can live a different life every day, with surprises every day, but they also have the suffering of birth, aging, sickness and death."

"Hmm..." Yue Lao stroked his beard with one hand and said with a satisfied smile: "You have gained a lot of insights from this trip!"
