The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 49 Laojun’s cow…is lost!
After dinner, the Queen Mother summoned Yue Lao, and Xia Yu was left alone in the Marriage Palace again.

Xia Yu lay down under the marriage tree, with his hands behind his head and his right leg crossed over his left leg, looking leisurely at the marriage lines on the tree.

"Xia Yu...Xia Yu..."

At the gate of the courtyard, a boy sitting under the seat of Taishang Laojun shrank his head and looked towards the marriage tree. He only dared to call Xia Yu from a distance and in a low voice, for fear of disturbing Yue Lao.

The Golden Spirit Boy and the Silver Spirit Boy were still guarding the alchemy furnace. The person who came was the Green Spirit Boy who was under the seat of Taishang Laojun and was in charge of Laojun's mount, the Green Bull.

Seeing her frightened look, Xia Yu tilted his head to look at her and said with a smile: "Come in! My master just went to see the Queen Mother."

After hearing Xia Yu say that Yue Lao was not there, Lu Lingtong walked into the yard with confidence.

Coming to Xia Yu, Green Spirit Boy squatted down, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Seeing that she looked uneasy, Xia Yu asked, "What's wrong? Do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Yeah." Green Spirit Boy nodded heavily.

"Jin Lingtong and Yin Lingtong...burned your master's elixir again?" Xia Yu asked in shock.

Last time, because the two of them sneaked out to play with her, the immortal pills were burnt and a lot of them were stolen. After Taishang Laojun found out, the two of them were punished and Xia Yu was also scolded.

"No, no..." Green Spirit Boy quickly denied.

Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then what do you want to talk to me about?"

Green Spirit Boy looked up at the mortal world, then looked back at Xia Yu and asked in a low voice: "Did you...just come back from the mortal world?"

"Yes!" Xia Yu replied.

"Then... have you seen my grandfather Laojun's cow?" Green Spirit Boy asked nervously.

“???” Xia Yu’s face was full of black question marks.

The cow of Taishang Laojun, isn’t that... the green cow?
Isn't the Blue Ox in [Tushita Palace]? How could she possibly see it when she went to the mortal world?
"Sister Lu, you are responsible for taking care of the green cow. Do you know where it is?" Xia Yu thought she was joking and didn't take her words to heart.

Seeing Xia Yu like this, Green Spirit Boy became even more anxious and said anxiously: "Oh no! I just took a nap and it bit through the rope and went to the lower world. Master was busy refining the elixir and didn't notice that it was gone..."

"Ah?" Xia Yu sat up suddenly, staring at Green Spirit Boy, puzzled: "You dozed off again? Oh my God, you...! A long, long time ago, it was because of you that you dozed off that the Green Ox descended to the mortal world and became the king of the mountain, and was even ready to eat Tang Sanzang. Why are you..."

"I know I was wrong." Green Spirit Boy looked at Xia Yu aggrievedly, looking for help in her eyes, and asked: "Xia Yu, do you have any good ideas? Otherwise... come down to earth again and help me bring the blue ox back..."

"Why don't you go by yourself?" Xia Yu asked.

"I would like to go, but without the 'pass token' from the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, Erlang Shen will not let me go!" Green Spirit Boy said, his eyes locked on the token on Xia Yu's waist, and said: "But you are different! You have your master's whisk as a token, so it is much easier for you to go down to the mortal world than for me."

"Sister Lu, I just came back..." Xia Yu looked at Lu Lingtong in embarrassment and said, "Besides, my master is not in the palace right now, and I can't leave the marriage tree without permission..."

Legend has it that the reason why the Green Ox was able to bite through the rope and descend to the mortal world was because the Jade Emperor tacitly approved it.

Now that there is no need for the mortal world to obtain Buddhist scriptures and there is no Tang Sanzang anymore, what is the purpose of the Green Ox coming to the mortal world?
If Laojun had not tacitly agreed, how could the Green Ox have escaped?
"Sister Green, did it really bite the rope to go down to the world?" Xia Yu asked with some doubt. Seeing Xia Yu's suspicion, Green Spirit Boy admitted: "No... I have been with it all day and I regard it as a good friend. Today it said it wanted to play with me freely for a while and promised not to leave [Tusita Palace], so I..."

Xia Yu: “…….”

"It's over, it's over..." Green Spirit Child sat on the ground with a pale face, crying, "Grandpa Laojun will return to the Thirty-Three Heavens this afternoon. If I find that the Green Ox has descended to the lower world, I will be dead..."

Speaking of Taishang Laojun, this old immortal originally lived in the Wuji Palace in the Taiqing Holy Land, above the thirty-three heavens of separation and hatred.

Over the past ten thousand years, because there were so many things going on in the Nine Heavens, and because he and Yue Lao had become close friends, Taishang Laojun simply lived in the [Tushita Palace] in the Nine Heavens.

I suddenly have to go back to the Thirty-Third Heaven today. I am afraid that I encountered some difficulties in the process of refining the elixir. Should I go back to check the Heavenly Book?
"Xia Yu...?" Seeing Xia Yu in a daze, Green Spirit Boy called her again and said anxiously, "Help me think of a solution!"

The Golden Spirit Boy, the Silver Spirit Boy, and the Green Spirit Boy are all good friends Xia Yu made after she went to heaven. She had to help them.

"Don't be anxious, let me think about it..." Xia Yu comforted Green Spirit Boy while thinking hard.

"Do you know why it came to the mortal world?" Xia Yu asked.

Green Spirit Boy thought about it carefully, his face became worse and worse, he stammered: "Maybe... I want to find... its matchmaker..."

"What?" Xia Yu looked at the marriage tree beside him as if he had heard some shocking news. He asked in disbelief, "Looking for a marriage partner in it?"

Although... her master is in charge of the marriages of the three realms, which also includes those of animals, it is impossible for him to arrange a marriage for Qingniu, right?
"Once before, your master came to my grandfather Laojun to drink. Unexpectedly, when he was drunk and confused, the marriage book on his body fell out. I happened to see the marriage of the Green Ox, and it said that it was in the mortal world. At that time, I just told it as a joke, but who knew that it actually came down to the mortal world..." After the Green Spirit Boy finished speaking, he didn't dare to look Xia Yu in the eye.

...!
"Sister Lu, you..." Xia Yu suddenly didn't know what to say.

"How about this..." Xia Yu thought of a riskier way, "You change into my appearance and guard the marriage tree here, and I'll go to Nantianmen to ask Clairvoyance and Superb Ear for you. They should know where Qingniu is in the mortal world."

"Thank you..." Green Spirit Boy said with emotion.

"Hey, don't thank me yet." Xia Yu said quickly: "I can only help you find out where it is, but I can't help you catch it. You also know that I have only been in the Heavenly Palace for 520 years, and the cultivation level of the Green Ox is much higher than mine!"

In terms of strength, Qingniu is certainly far ahead of Xia Yu.

At a time like this, of course you can't fight head-on, you have to use your wits!

"You don't have to fight it. It knows that you are Yue Lao's last disciple." Green Spirit Boy suddenly came up with a good idea and said to Xia Yu, "Just threaten it with its marriage. Since it has been tempted, it will definitely follow you back obediently."

"Are you sure... it won't be irritated by this and kill me directly?" Xia Yu said with a wry smile.

"Why are you afraid of it?" Green Spirit Boy suddenly told Xia Yu confidently, "Don't worry, no matter how powerful it is, it is just the mount of Grandpa Laojun and will eventually return to heaven. It knows Grandpa Laojun's temperament and will not tolerate it doing anything reckless. Besides, your master appears to be fair and selfless on the surface, but in private he is famous for 'protecting his shortcomings'. It will definitely not dare to hurt you in the slightest."

"Okay! I'll try." Xia Yu agreed immediately, stood up and prepared to leave, and told Green Spirit Boy: "Time is tight, I'll be back soon, you must help me take care of the marriage tree!"

……

I hope Master can chat with Queen Mother for a while longer and go back to the [Marriage Palace] later!
