I have a date with Chang'e

07 The so-called grounding

That was the first time I participated in the Queen Mother's flat peach event, and it was the only time I said.

The once-in-a-thousand-year Pantao Festival is a gathering of all gods and Buddhas, the most lively festival in the heavens.Even in the preparatory stage, it has already occupied the center of Tianting gossip.

I was holding the newly made wine koji at Magu's place, and just as I stepped into the door, someone slammed me from behind, I staggered, and almost lost the jar in my hand.

I stabilized my body, turned around and caught this reckless ghost. It turned out to be Tinghe girl, blinking her big watery eyes, and couldn't hold back the excitement on her face.I lost my anger for a moment, and couldn't help asking curiously, "What's so urgent about such a good thing?"

"Hee hee, fairy, don't worry, the sisters are waiting in the yard, let's go in first and talk about it later." He ran away while talking.

I became more and more curious and hurried to catch up.Everyone surrounded Ting He, but she said: "Guess first, how many emperors will be present this year?"

The emperors of the four directions are all gods and dragons, and even if it is like a grand event of flat peaches, usually only one or two will attend.I always feel that this is probably the reason why the sky is high and the emperor is far away. After all, the emperors of the four directions are in charge of the four poles of the south, east, north, and west. They are not very enthusiastic about the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother on the Central Continent.

But judging by this girl's excitement, she might be able to make three this year.Everyone is also chattering, saying that there are three or two.

Ting He laughed and shook his head, curled his thumbs, and made a four.

Everyone exclaimed at first, then didn't believe it, and said in unison: "Where did you get the news? Is it accurate?"

Ting He straightened her neck with some dissatisfaction: "Of course it is accurate. It's not that our place is remote, and it should spread throughout the entire heaven. If you don't believe me, go out and find out."

Only then did everyone believe it, and they burst into flames, and finally divided into several groups according to different idols and dispersed.

I entered the house, Xiuyun took the jar from my hand and put it away.

I poured a cup of tea and asked her casually which emperor she liked.

"Emperor Qingxuan, she is majestic, kind, beautiful and dignified, she is a model of a fairy in the heavens." When talking about idols, she seemed eager and a little shy, not as calm and calm as she used to be.

I couldn't help but want to tease her, and said leisurely: "I remember you once said that Moon God is the most beautiful woman in the heaven, but Emperor Qingxuan is not as beautiful as Moon God?"

"Although the moon god has the beauty of appearance, the emperor has both appearance and immortality—" At this moment, she stopped, obviously remembering how much I care about the moon god.

"The Immortal Nature of the Moon God, how did you ever understand it? If you don't understand it, how can you judge it at will?" What she said made me heartbroken.

"My maidservant made a mistake. I asked the fairy to punish me." The neither humble nor overbearing tone was annoying.

To be honest, I was the one who teased her first, and this time I was just stealing the chicken, and I was making fun of myself.He ignored it and walked away sullenly.My heart said that even the ten Qingxuan emperors are not as good as the Moon God.

Later, when we were teasing the jade rabbit in the Moon Palace, Chang'e and I mentioned this Emperor Qingxuan, and I said, "Is Emperor Qingxuan loved by the immortals?"

She was taken aback for a moment, as if this topic came too suddenly.

"My girl loves Emperor Qingxuan very much," I explained, "I just want to know what's so good about her?"

"Emperor Qingxuan is in charge of the land of the far west, the land of a hundred beasts. He is famous for his benevolence and virtue. He is the only female among the emperors of the four directions." Chang'e said like an endorsement.

I said, "Then is there anything particularly attractive about her?"

She pinched the tips of Jade Rabbit's ears, and said slowly: "She is a very temperamental fairy, very sincere and kind." Then she tilted her head to look at me, and said, "It's somewhat similar to you."

"I understand what I said. It's a compliment for my temperament, sincerity and kindness." I clapped my hands and laughed.

"It's really a compliment." She covered her lips and smiled.

"Speaking of which, are you coming to this year's Pantao Fair?" I looked forward to it cautiously.

"It's not interesting." She was indifferent.

"It will last for nine days, even once?" I begged.

"I can't go." She made up her mind.

"Why can't I go?" I refused to give up.

"I don't want to go." She hugged the jade rabbit in her arms, and smoothed the rabbit's fur, signaling the end of this topic.

Still not giving up, I brought up the subject again a few days later.

"I heard that there are many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas coming to the Western Paradise Buddhist Realm this time," I said happily, "They also plan to hold a sutra discussion forum."

She hummed lightly.

"Don't you often read Buddhist scriptures?" I said persuasively, "Isn't it good to talk about Buddhism with Bodhisattvas this time?"

"It's just to pass the time, not enough to talk about Buddha." She refused lightly.

I still can't forget it.At that time, in the atmosphere of guests from all over the world, she will stay alone in the empty and cold moon palace.How can I bear this?When trying new wine with Magu, I couldn't help sighing and pouring wine glass after glass in my hand.

"Wine makes me sad and sad." She snatched my wine glass and pouted, "Don't spoil my good wine. Tell me what's on your mind."

"What can I have on my mind, I'll be idle all day long." I shook my head, a little dizzy.

"My dear nephew, what's on your mind, my aunt won't be able to figure it out?" She looked at me with sharp eyes.

I simply rolled my eyes at her.

"I see that you have been circling the moon palace every day for hundreds of years. What's the matter, the moon god finally finds you annoying?" With her nagging, she really regarded herself as an "aunt".

I gave her an annoyed look: "If you want to say I hate you, I'm the one who hates you first."

"Hehe~ How dare you think I'm annoying? I don't think your face is too big yet." Suddenly, a pair of vicious hands grabbed my cheeks, pulling and pinching, the pain made my eyes fog up.

"Ge (aunt) ge (aunt) ra (rao) wing (life)" I chose to be soft.

"Okay, explain it." She finally let go.

"I promise, I will never find my aunt annoying." I said resentfully, rubbing my face.

"Don't be glib, just tell the truth." She turned her wrist.

"...I know that Luna never goes out, but I still hope that she can participate in this Pantao Festival," I said slowly, "but she has made up her mind not to go. Sigh, do you have any ideas?"

"Speaking of which, it has been thousands of years since the Moon God returned from the mortal world, and has never been out of the Moon Palace. I'm afraid it's too difficult for you to make such a request." She pinched her fingers and said slowly.

What she said seemed unusual, and I quickly changed my mind: "Is there any reason why she can't leave the Moon Palace? Why did she go to the mortal world, and what happened in the mortal world? Did the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother forbid her to go out?" palace?"

"I wasn't here at that time, so many things were just heard. Besides, the higher authorities deliberately covered up, so no one knew the truth." She was so mysterious, which made me anxious: "No matter what you know, Say it quickly."

She: "It's just some legend, don't take it too seriously."

Me: "It's long-winded, hurry up."

She: "In ancient times, the Queen Mother sent the Moon God down to earth to carry out a major mission. Unexpectedly, something went wrong in the middle of the mission. Fortunately, a passing immortal came to help in time, so that no catastrophe would be caused."

Me: "You call this a story too?"

She: "After all, it's too long ago. However, some people say that the descent of the Moon God has something to do with the great chaos in the world. As for whether it was before or after that, I don't know."

Me: "According to human legends, a hero named Hou Yi solved Ten Ridangkong, and Hou Yi and Luna were husband and wife."

She: "Can you believe the legends in the world?"

I:"……"

Me: "In short, is Luna grounded due to negligence?"

She: "Not necessarily. According to the legend, the Moon God was not punished."

Me: "Then what's the use of telling this story?"

She: "You insisted on me talking."

Me: "...If I ask Luna directly, do you think she will tell me?"

Her: "There's a reason a thing is kept a secret, do you think she'll tell you?"

I:"……"

Maybe when the time is right, I'll ask her.After all, for hundreds of years, she has never revealed a single bit of her story to me.
