The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 53 A Phone Call from the Mortal World
Hearing footsteps behind him, Xia Yu turned around and saw Yue Lao walking into the yard.

"Master is back?" Xia Yu greeted him happily.

“Hmm.” Yue Lao responded, walked to the side of the marriage tree, and checked whether there was any abnormality above or below the tree.

"Master..." Xia Yu walked around Yue Lao and asked curiously, "The Queen Mother is looking for you. Did she assign you a new mission?"

new task?
Yue Lao's expression didn't look very happy. What new task was there? It was obvious that he wanted to send him to Yaochi to be scolded.

"Master? Come on, what on earth does the Queen Mother want you to do?"

Xia Yu is determined to get to the bottom of things and will not give up until he achieves his goal.

The matchmaker felt embarrassed and didn't want to say it out loud, but Xia Yu kept pestering him and asking him, so he couldn't get rid of her and had to compromise.

"Recently, the Heavenly Court was counting the merits and offerings of the gods in the mortal world, and the Queen Mother announced a ranking. Although my master's merits ranked ninth, the amount of incense money he received was repeatedly lower than that of the gods."

"Land..." Xia Yu asked immediately after hearing this: "Master, which land is higher than you?"

"The area around Neon City." Yue Lao's face was full of dissatisfaction. He kept thinking back to what Queen Mother said. He said, "The incense offerings at the Earth Goddess Temple and Guanyin Temple there are very strong, but only the Yue Lao Temple is ignored. Queen Mother said that this year, only one woman went to the Yue Lao Temple in that place to offer sacrifices."

That only pilgrim, could it be... Yang Heng's grandmother? Xia Yu thought.

The land around Neon City, isn't that her master's old friend?

"Master..." Xia Yu was hesitating whether to tell her master that the land owner was actually an old acquaintance of his.

"Master knows that you are going to Neon City this time." Yue Lao looked like he knew nothing and said to Xia Yu, "In your opinion, why is the incense so strong in that land?"

At this time, if the God of Land wants Xia Yu to convey something, I'm afraid it's not convenient to do so...

Why, why? Master, do you really not know why?

If you hadn't gotten drunk at Taishang Laojun's place every now and then and failed to fulfill the mortal's wish in time, the God of Land wouldn't have taken advantage of you!
"From my point of view..." Xia Yu silently said to himself, "Children's words are not to be taken lightly." He replied, "The land god is just lucky. Master, don't take it to heart. I will definitely surpass him next year."

"Hmm..." Yue Lao nodded in agreement.

Originally, Xia Yu had another question to ask Yue Lao, but seeing that he was not in a good mood, he held the words back.

As for the marriage between Dahuang and Qingniu, Xia Yu searched for a long time under the marriage tree and in the marriage pool, and was finally surprised to find that there was no marriage between them at all.

……

"If you like me, don't cover your face..." A cell phone ringtone that Xia Yu was very familiar with rang loudly in the [Marriage Palace] {Gardenia Hall}.

"What's that sound?" Yue Lao asked Xia Yu with high vigilance.

"Oh... that..." Xia Yu said happily, "It should be my friend in the mortal world who called me."

"Phone?" When Yue Lao was still confused, Xia Yu had already run into the house.

"Master, I'm going to answer a phone call and will be back soon."

Xia Yu's voice echoed in every corner of the [Marriage Palace]. Yue Lao raised his hand and conjured up a chair next to the marriage tree. He sat down and slowly looked through the marriage book in his hand.

At this time, Xia Yu had already flown back to her {Gardenia Palace}. The call was successfully connected, and both of them were very surprised.

The plane couldn't get to the ninth heaven, but Luo Fan's phone unexpectedly made a call to the ninth heaven. "Hello..." Luo Fan was eager to hear Xia Yu's voice, otherwise, he would think he was dreaming.

"I didn't expect... that a phone call from the mortal world could actually reach the heaven." Xia Yu was surprised and thought of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

In the beginning, in order to stay with Cowherd for a long time, the Weaver Girl stole the elixir from Laozi and gave it to him when they met at the Magpie Bridge one year.

Niulang did become an immortal, but the Queen Mother was furious and locked him in the mortal world, never allowing him to go to heaven.

Now the saying of “meeting once a year” has been cancelled. Every year on the Chinese Valentine’s Day, magpies still build a bridge, but the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl cannot keep their appointment.

The Weaver Girl was forbidden from using her magic to "spy on the mortal world" in Heaven. Even if she wanted to secretly cast a spell to take a look at the Cowherd in the mortal world, that was impossible.

If he secretly gave Zhinu a mobile phone, could the cowherd call her? They could also chat with her or make video calls...

The more Xia Yu thought about it, the happier he became, as if he had discovered a "shocking secret".

"Xia Yu?... Are you listening?" Luo Fan called Xia Yu several times, but she acted as if she didn't hear him.

"Ah? Yes, yes, yes, yes..." Xia Yu came back to his senses and began to listen to Luo Fan seriously.

Luo Fan’s mobile phone screen clearly showed “the other party is out of service area”, but the call was actually connected. He himself couldn’t believe it.

"How is it? Is the marriage tree you are looking after okay?" Luo Fan asked with a smile.

"Speaking of the 'Marriage Tree', I remembered something." Xia Yu couldn't help laughing before he finished speaking: "I had to leave for something before, so I asked a fairy sister to help me temporarily look after the Marriage Tree. When I came back, I found that the fairy sister had moved the Marriage Tree."

"Causing sabotage?" Luo Fan guessed.

"That's not the case." Xia Yu explained with a smile, "It's just that a few couples in the mortal world had a fight and broke up with their partners, so they made a wish to my master, hoping that their marriage string would be replaced with iron wire and steel bars. Haha... They thought the reason for their breakup was that the marriage string my master tied for them was not strong enough."

It was just something we said jokingly, but I never thought it would come true.

After hearing this, Luo Fan asked with a smile: "What happened next? Did they reconcile with their partners?"

"The marriage line broke naturally because they were destined not to be together." Xia Yu was lying on her bed answering the phone. One hand got tired of holding the phone, so she switched to the other hand to continue the call: "Those iron wires and steel bars didn't last long before they broke just like the marriage line."

Luo Fan stood on the balcony of his house, and Da Huang sat obediently beside him. The phone call lasted for a long time.

Listening to Xia Yu's vivid description, Luo Fan seemed to see the scene.

"Then...can you help me find my marriage partner?" Luo Fan suddenly smiled.

Hearing Luo Fan's request, Xia Yu's voice suddenly softened: "No problem. When Master is no longer under the Marriage Tree, I'll go and help you check."

"Thank you very much." Luo Fan said.

"But what does the person you are expecting look like?" Xia Yu suddenly asked curiously.

She seemed to be curious about a lot of things...

"Ahem..." Luo Fan coughed twice, pretended to think for a moment, and said, "It's best if you are like this."
