[Lotus Lantern] Keep your life

"Oh! Is there an earthquake?" Suddenly, I felt the mountains shaking, and even the entire Zhenjun Temple trembled. I felt a throbbing in my heart, and suddenly opened my eyes and shouted.

My body was covered with a silver cyan silk quilt with slippery edges. I was the only one on the bed covered by the gauze curtain of the Zhenjun Temple, but I was very weak all over. Feeling hot, he looked at his messy clothes again, feeling guilty for a while.

"Ah! Oops, I forgot to go to court early!" Regardless of the reason for the shaking of the heavens when I just woke up, I was surprised when I saw that it was already bright outside, why no one woke me up.

"Hiss...it hurts!" Just as I lifted the quilt and jumped off the bed, a dull pain came from under my body, and my face turned green immediately, dammit, you, surnamed Yang, run very fast.

"Master! Be careful." Hearing my voice, the sky-defying eagle in black quickly rushed in from the door, and said concernedly with his quick eyes and hands, who supported me who was about to fall in a moment of panic.

"Zhenjun explained, let you rest for a while, he said that he asked you to leave early, and he has handed over the list of immortals to the Pantao Festival to the Jade Emperor, so don't worry about it." Anti-Tianying looked at me With a bad complexion, he said carefully.

"Hey, master, don't be too overwhelmed. You and Zhenjun have gone through so many things. Everyone knows your relationship. It's not a matter of time." Ni Tianying folded his arms, Looking at the blushing lying on the bed, I explained.

"Shut up, hurry up and go out and find out what happened to the earthquake just now!" I was so ashamed when I did this for the first time. Said, couldn't help but sternly yelled at the Sky-Defying Eagle.

"Okay, okay, Zhenjun, tell me, the tub has already filled the hot water for you, you go take a bath first, I'll go out and inquire about it." Ni Tianying turned his head and smiled softly, and then pretended to be serious after explaining, then turned around out of the bedroom.

Conscience of heaven and earth, I definitely didn't know the law and break the law on purpose, why didn't I control it, impulsiveness is the devil, I was wrong, wrong, wrong... After soaking in the wooden barrel bath for a long time, I came out, and there was a voice in my head has been reverberating incessantly.

"I have made it clear that the Dushi Palace of the 33rd Taishang Laojun was stolen. You don't know, the scene was terrible. All the elixir that Laojun was going to contribute to the Peach Festival were all stolen. Even the gossip The stove was overturned, and the Sanwei Zhenhuo almost burned all the slag left in Tushita Palace, which is too miserable." When Ni Tianying came back, I had already changed into the court clothes, and he stood outside the door with a face of indifference, He folded his arms and shook his head and said to me.

"What! This stinky monkey is so fast. It led Chen Xiang to the sky to steal the elixir so quickly. What about the fourth princess? Isn't the soul of the fourth princess still kept in Tushita Palace? Is there something wrong?" When the fourth princess died, Yang Jian saved the soul of the fourth princess and sent it directly to the Taishang Laojun. Her soul was already very weak. If she was burned by the real fire of Sanwei, it would be even more difficult to save!Thinking of this, I was startled and asked anxiously.

"It's okay, fortunately Zhenjun went in time and rescued her. Hey, but, how do you know that Monkey King did this?" Ni Tianying asked.

"Who can do this except him?" I was relieved after hearing what he said.

"Zhenjun also said the same thing. Xiao Tiangou said that he smelled agarwood. The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were very angry when they heard about it. They were afraid that Chenxiang had learned the skills of Monkey King, so they immediately ordered the real agarwood Jun went to investigate this matter thoroughly, Zhenjun just took Xiaotian Dog to Mount Emei.

"There is no evidence, so I went to find a fight. Well, I guess I can't help now, but it's good for the two of them to fight once, and it's not like they haven't fought before." Yang Jian will take care of this trivial matter in Mount Emei. I'd better think more about the Pantao Society.

"Ni Tian, ​​follow me to Yao Chi to have a look." Gathering mana secretly, adjusting his breath, he reluctantly walked towards Yao Chi with Ni Tian, ​​the queen mother is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if I don't show my face by her side, she won't doubt it I have a conspiracy to blame.

***.

"Master Yuanjun, my lady is not in Yaochi right now, why don't you come back later?" Outside the Yaochi, the little servant guarding the pond said to me respectfully.

"Where did your lady go?" I held the long sword at my waist, stood upright in front of Yaochi, and asked calmly.

"Your Majesty seems to have gone to the prison to see the Seventh Princess." The little palace slave lowered her head and replied.

"Thank you." I was taken aback and nodded.Overthinking?The queen mother is so cruel, will she miss the seventh princess?

Heavenly Court, Siguo Prison on the north and south corners, the light is a bit dim, there are several rows of heavenly soldiers and generals on the left and right guarding it firmly, the huge and heavy golden gate opens from bottom to top, surrounded by a layer of light yellow enchantment, ordinary gods It is impossible to step in even half a step.

Si Guo Prison, as the name suggests, is the place where the gods who violated the rules of heaven are imprisoned. The seventh princess Si Fan has been imprisoned here since she married Dong Yong many years ago. God knows how many days.A few days ago, the eighth princess, Sifan, was also imprisoned here facing the wall for life. Although the two were locked together, they could not see each other.In the past, the Peach Fair was organized by the seven princesses, and now it is the Peach Fair. The Queen Mother must be missing her daughter. Her own daughter is suffering here, so how happy is her Peach Fair.

"Qi'er, is it worth it for you to suffer so much for a mortal? Why is it so difficult for you to admit your mistake? Don't you know that the rule of heaven about Sifan has always been governed by your mother? Soon mortals will sever their thousands of years of family ties with your mother. You say that your mother is cruel, but your heart is even more cruel! .

"Eight sister, why is Qi'er like this, and you are like this too, can't you see the end of your seventh sister, can't you see the pain of being a mother, out of the eight children, you are the only one who is most like a mother, but Why do you even have to fight against my mother! Ruthless, ruthless, you all say that my mother is ruthless, do you feel better in your heart?! These years, have you really done something wrong for your mother?".

I made a magic decision and sneaked into the prison of thinking about past mistakes, but I saw the queen mother standing with her back outside the prison and talking to herself, the sparkle in her eyes was not tears, but what else? Mother' heard my heart flutter for a while, is she still the usual high-ranking and cold-eyed Queen Mother?And what I see at this time is just a mother's longing for her daughter. In fact, the Queen Mother is still affectionate.

"Who! Get out of this Palace!" The Queen Mother yelled, and suddenly raised her hand and gathered her magic power to wave towards me.I was startled, and couldn't help waving my sleeves to block it, but I didn't realize my real body appeared.

"Your Majesty, calm down. It's the little god who wants to ask your Majesty something important, but seeing that your Majesty misses her very much, I can't bear to disturb you. If you are disrespectful, please forgive me, Your Majesty." In order to avoid the blow from the Queen Mother just now, I couldn't help but frowned at the painful spot. I wrinkled, fearing that she would see something wrong, I immediately lowered my head and said in a panic.

"Hmph! I don't want to hear your bad excuses! Do you know that you will be punished for spying on my private affairs!" The next moment, the Queen Mother changed back to her cold and stern look, and said to me angrily.

"The little god knows his mistake! The little god just wants to ask the empress, the peach feast will be held in the next day, do you want to give the seventh princess and the eighth princess a day off, and suspend punishment. Why don't you make an exception and let them participate in this banquet. The empress thinks of children My heart, the little god is also deeply touched." I couldn't help but sigh silently, this queen mother is really fickle.

"This is the important thing you want to report? Prepare well for the Pantao Club. I don't want you to worry about my family affairs! Yuan Jun, don't you have too much time to worry about! Have you finished delivering the invitations from all the immortal families? Do you know how ripe the peaches are in the Peach Garden? Have you counted the flowers, plants, wine, and snacks to be prepared for the Peach Fair? Have you rehearsed the song and dance programs that the immortals want to watch? The heavenly soldiers in the heavenly court during the Peach Fair Do you have a good arrangement for double patrol and rotation?" The Queen Mother didn't wait for me to speak again, she began to accuse her harshly, pressing every step of the way, which made me feel dizzy for a while, and unconsciously began to admire her a little.

"The Pantao Club invites all the immortals from the Three Realms to participate, not only to celebrate my birthday, but more importantly, to show the majesty of Your Majesty and the majesty of the Heavenly Court, but you can't be careless! I have already said this, and I will leave this matter to you I can trust you to do it! Don’t let me mess it up!” The queen mother turned around and continued to speak sharply.

"Yes, empress, the little god must do his best to live up to the expectations of empress!" I sighed softly in my heart, and answered with fists folded. It's not easy to be a queen mother, and I don't worry much less than us.

When she looked up again, she saw the Queen Mother who turned away suddenly stopped, with her right hand resting on her forehead, her body looked like she was about to faint.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" I was anxious, and hurried forward to hold her arm and said in surprise.

"Ben Gong, Ben Gong is fine." The queen mother supported me with her hands before I stood up, took a breath, and said softly.

"Your Majesty, are you anxious about your child and overworked? Let the little god help you back to Yaochi to rest." The first time I met the Queen Mother so closely, I suddenly felt that she was just so ordinary. Face is too important.

"Your Majesty, your heart is hurting. In fact, you also hope that one day Heaven will be full of love and look at the children and grandchildren Chenghuan's knees." I supported the Queen Mother and walked all the way back to Yaochi. To my surprise, she did not Pushing me away, I just kept silent and didn't speak. I looked at her hand holding my arm, the strength was loose and tight, and I couldn't help sighing, and asked softly.

"I know that abstinence is not the best way to maintain the order of the heavens, but you should understand that the indulgence of desires will never bring half the benefits to the Three Realms! The rules of heaven are too harsh, but how can I show the majesty of the heavens if I am not like this? If the Heavenly Court is disgraced, how will it suppress the Three Realms and ensure the peace of the Three Realms." The grasped arm tightened, and the Queen Mother did not stop, but she discussed it with me in peace of mind, which made me really happy. The queen mother figured it out by herself, so wouldn't it be unnecessary to hide it?

"Maybe there will be a better way. Not necessarily. No desire does not mean ruthless. The empress is not a ruthless person. It is just that she has been in a high position for a long time and does not understand the suffering of the lower realm. If the empress has the opportunity, she might as well go to the lower realms. In fact, mortals are the greatest. My only wish is for a family reunion and a safe life. Maybe then you will understand that governing the Three Realms with love may not be as difficult as your mother thinks." I sighed softly and said calmly, the best I can persuade Well, it doesn't do me any harm if I can't be persuaded.

"Sun Xiaoqiao, don't you hold grudges against me?" The Queen Mother stopped suddenly, looked at me and asked.

"Remember the grudge? What is the empress talking about? Xiao Qiao has a bad memory since she was a child, and she has long since forgotten." Maybe there was some resentment before, but now I don't remember the queen mother anymore. , the Jade Emperor, and even the Queen Mother could not restrain their affection.

"No wonder Yang Jian likes you, even His Majesty protects you, you are really different." The queen mother seemed to be taken aback, and chuckled as if sneering.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. The little god was just a child of a man. Madam, in fact, have you always regarded Yang Jian as your son?" I was a little sincere, and I no longer quibbled, but asked such a sentence in passing.

"Hmph! If he doesn't fight against me, I hope so! Well, the fairyland is here, you should hurry up and get busy. If you mess up this flat peach meeting, I will definitely punish you severely!" The queen mother seemed to have a soft light in her eyes when she heard my words, and then she snorted softly and said coldly to me.Although she reacted like this, I can still be sure that she still cares about Yang Jian very much in her heart. Looking at the figure of the Queen Mother turning away, I couldn't help thinking.

"Master, what should we do now?" Ni Tianying has been following me, and after the Queen Mother left, he came out from behind and said to me.

"What else can I do? You heard what the Queen Mother said just now. Of course, I'm going to prepare for the Peach Fair! First go write the invitation, then find Baihua Fairy, and then go to the Peach Garden, Jiuxian Pavilion, Imperial Kitchen, Music and Dance Hall, and the Army Camp... ...Oh, my god, there are so many things to do!" Counting my fingers to check the work to be prepared for the past two days, I couldn't help but feel black lines all over my head, I was going to be exhausted.

***.

When I returned to the Zhenjun Temple with Ni Tianying, the sky turned dark again, and I was so weak that I was so weak. Now I am very dependent on the bed covered with silk quilts, although Now I really should care more about Yang Jian and Chen Xiang, but helplessly, I am exhausted, and when I touch the bed, I feel drowsy and will fall asleep.Ordinarily, gods should not need to sleep, they only need to close their eyes and practice for half an hour to eliminate fatigue and restore clarity, but I am still used to life in the mortal world, and I can sleep when I need to.

In fact, I also inquired when I came back. Yang Jian is not in the temple. According to the report of the guard of the Zhenjun Temple, Yang Jian has not returned from the lower realm, but has been back and forth for more than three times. I am also speechless. It is said that heaven and earth are separated For [-] miles, he didn't know how tired he was tossing back and forth.

"The lotus lamp? Why is the lotus lamp in the Zhenjun Temple? Wow! Who are you!" Just squinting, I was suddenly awakened by a loud bang in the bedroom. I opened my eyes and looked at the The Lotus Lantern rolled out from one side was surprised for a while, and when it looked up again, it saw a person coming out from under the desk.

"Xiaoyu?! Why is it you? Who arrested you?" The man under the table had his hands tied behind his back and his mouth was gagged. Put it away, and after seeing the man's appearance clearly, I was shocked again, isn't this Xiaoyu?What is Yang Jian doing? .

"It's you! You really are with Erlangshen! Thanks to the Eighth Prince's love for you, you, you actually live in the Temple of Zhenjun!" As soon as she pulled the cloth strip from her mouth, she was full of anger yelled at me.

"Nezha, Zhu Bajie, didn't they tell you who I am? I am the God of Heaven, Huide Yuanjun, and I live temporarily in the Temple of Zhenjun." I cast a spell to untie the rope on her body , pulled her up and said speechlessly.Why is the eighth prince so devoted, I've only met him once, okay?

"Mr. Hui De Yuan?! You are... Aunt Xiao Qiao!" Xiaoyu looked at me in disbelief and said in surprise.

"Auntie? You should call me auntie. I'm good sisters with your mother, and I have nothing to do with your father. No, I mean... Forget it, you can call me whatever you want." The matter of the fifth brother is over. It has been thousands of years, and after all, I am sorry for them.

"You and Erlangshen are on the same team! My father's death back then is also inseparable from you!" Suddenly there was a chill on my neck, and a cold light flashed, and Xiaoyu's long sword was already standing on my neck.

Before I could explain again, the lotus lantern on the desk case gave off a faint red light, and I was a little flustered. I frowned and wondered if something happened to Yang Jian.
