Chapter 040: The Bet
To be honest, when Zhao Qingshan saw this tiger demon, he originally wanted to take him as a mount, so he randomly made up a reason to find a mount for a great immortal in the Heavenly Court and tried to take Wang Dahu as a mount. At most, he could give him a fairy book. Anyway, the immortal book of the fairy beast mount has no compulsory requirements on merit.
It’s a pity that although Wang Dahu was not sure that he could survive the disaster of 1,500 years, he was unwilling to become a mount in the heaven for others to drive him. That little bit of arrogance prompted him to give up this opportunity.
Wang Dahu chose to refuse, but Zhao Qingshan did not force it, but proposed to take away the little rabbit demon. Zhao Qingshan told Wang Dahu that Fairy Chang'e in Guanghan Palace had been missing the jade rabbit for hundreds of years. After searching for it without any results, he specially entrusted him to find another jade rabbit in the mortal world for her.
Zhao Qingshan made the words very clear. Although Jade Rabbit is just Chang'e's playmate, with Chang'e's status in the Heavenly Court, it is really easy to win a fairy book for Jade Rabbit.
Although the little rabbit demon is the maid of Qi Tian Cave, it is actually a rabbit demon that Wang Dahu accidentally enlightened more than two hundred years ago. In addition to the master-servant relationship, there is also a hazy relationship between master and disciple.
Wang Dahu knew very well what this opportunity meant for the little rabbit demon. Since the little rabbit demon had the luck to be favored by Zhao Qingshan and was expected to become the jade rabbit of Fairy Chang'e, the palace master of Guanghan Palace, of course, Wang Dahu would not block anything, so he turned around and left so decisively.
Of course, Zhao Qingshan could not explain anything to the little rabbit demon. After Wang Dahu left, Zhao Qingshan waved to the little rabbit demon directly and said, "I will take you to see someone."
"Who do you see?" The little rabbit demon took a small step back with a vigilant face, making Zhao Qingshan feel like he was abducting her, making Zhao Qingshan laugh and cry.
"Go to meet the palace master of Guanghan Palace Fairy Chang'e." Zhao Qingshan glanced at the little rabbit demon and said, "This is your immortal fate. Once you miss it, it will be difficult to regret it in the future."
"Fairy Chang'e?!" Unexpectedly, when the little rabbit demon heard the name mentioned in Zhao Qingshan's mouth, his eyes suddenly shone with golden light and said excitedly: "Oh my God, Taoist priest, can you really lead me to see Fairy Chang'e? People like Fairy Chang'e the most... Can I really see Fairy Chang'e?!"
"Uh..." Zhao Qingshan was stunned for a moment and said with some confusion: "Of course I won't lie... Why do you like Fairy Chang'e so much?"
"Because Fairy Chang'e is the palace master of Guanghan Palace!" the little rabbit demon said naturally.
"It's that simple?" Zhao Qingshan looked at the little rabbit demon with some doubts, very suspicious of what she said.
Sure enough, noticing Zhao Qingshan's suspicious eyes, the little rabbit demon subconsciously stuck out his tongue and said obediently: "Not... There is a laurel tree in Guanghan Palace. It is said that on the first and fifteenth day of the laurel trees, some moon mushrooms will grow. These moon mushrooms are the best spiritual medicine for us rabbit demons..."
"Oh." Zhao Qingshan nodded relievedly and said with a smile: "I am only responsible for introducing you to Fairy Chang'e. In the end, whether you can win the appreciation of Fairy Chang'e and stay in Guanghan Palace depends on your own luck... Let's go, I will take you to the Heavenly Court!"
The Jade Rabbit is not a pure decoration in Guanghan Palace. There is a small bowl of pounding medicine under the laurel tree in Guanghan Palace. According to legend, the Jade Rabbit is pounding the immortal medicine, but in fact, the work of the Jade Rabbit is pounding medicine for some immortal gods in the Heavenly Court, and the medicine is also from the Five and Eight Gates. It is an important part of the diplomatic work of Guanghan Palace.
Since that small bowl is a rare treasure, the medicine that is pounded will not lose its effect, but will also have a unique effect of locking the effect. The immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court are also happy to send the medicine to Guanghan Palace.
The medicine sent by the immortal god is indeed a medicine for immortality to ordinary people in the world. Therefore, the stories in folk legends are not completely fictional.
When Zhao Qingshan brought the little rabbit demon to find Chang'e, Chang'e was having a good chat with Yang Wanyan on the edge of the Yaochi Pool. When he saw Zhao Qingshan bringing a young rabbit demon over, Chang'e's eyes lit up.
"I will meet your Majesty!" "Wan Yao will meet your Majesty!"
"Everyone is free... what are you talking about? I'm so happy?" As soon as Zhao Qingshan entered the fairyland of Yaochi, his outfit changed drastically. He put on the dragon robe and the imperial crown appeared. He saw the little rabbit demon following him so much that he was dumbfounded... I'm so mom, Taoist Master Qingchengzi is the Jade Emperor?!!
No one cared about the reaction of the little rabbit demon. When he heard Zhao Qingshan's inquiry, Chang'e covered her mouth and smiled, pointed her slender jade finger at a lotus in the Yaochi, and said, "Your Majesty, I have just made a small bet with the Holy Mother based on the time when the golden lotus in the Yaochi pond is mature... By the way, why is Your Majesty free to come here?"
"Get out?" Zhao Qingshan was stunned for a moment, but he had no intention of delving into it. His eyes were taken back from the lotus leaves of the golden lotus in the Yaochi Holy Water, and he smiled and said, "When I descended to earth today, I happened to meet this little rabbit demon. Seeing that she was smart, I brought it back for my beloved concubine to see... The Holy Mother might as well help me check it out."
Zhao Qingshan whispered to his beloved concubine and Chang'e whispered to his concubine. Yang Wanjing felt uncomfortable, but considering the bet he had just made, she smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is really mean... Wanjing saw that although this rabbit demon is of average qualification, she is not good at Taoism and not well-being. I believe that Sister Chang'e will like it."
"The Holy Mother is Chang'e's confidant." Chang'e smiled and waved to the little rabbit demon, saying, "Come here and tell me what your name is? Where can I attain enlightenment in the world?"
As soon as I went to heaven, I saw the Jade Emperor, the Holy Mother of Yaochi, and Fairy Chang'e. I also knew the Jade Emperor's background, and I also knew that Chang'e had become the Jade Emperor's concubine... A series of things made the little rabbit demon dizzy and frightened.
After hearing Chang'e's inquiry, she came to her senses and hurriedly fell to the ground and said, "The little demon, little rabbit, meet His Majesty the Jade Emperor, the Holy Mother of the Yaochi, and the Empress of the Heavenly Concubine... When I returned to the Empress of the Heavenly Concubine, the little demon was called Little Rabbit. It had no official name. She was enlightened by the King of Zhentian in the Qitian Cave in the world of the world and stepped into the immortal path..."
"Little Rabbit?" Chang'e frowned slightly, then smiled and said to Zhao Qingshan: "Your Majesty, can you ask Your Majesty to give this little rabbit a name?"
"Um..." Zhao Qingshan thought for a moment and smiled, "In my opinion, just call Chang Xiaotu, it's simple and clear, easy to remember... What do you think of the beloved concubine?"
"What Your Majesty takes is of course very good." Chang'e glanced at Yang Wanyan next to her intentionally or unintentionally, and then said to the little rabbit demon: "Chang's little rabbit, don't you thank Your Majesty for giving the name?"
"Chang Xiaotu... why did you break your name!" The little rabbit demon was very worried, but he could only pretend to be ecstatic and hurriedly thanked him: "Chang Xiaotu, thanks Your Majesty for your kindness..."
So, the little rabbit demon was officially renamed Chang Xiaotu and was directly taken back to Guanghan Palace by Chang'e.
In the fairyland of Yaochi where clouds and mist are shrouded in the scent of birds, only the Jade Emperor Zhao Qingshan, and the Holy Mother of Yaochi, were left with Yang Wanyan, the two of them looked at each other, and they were a little silent.
Standing by the side of the Yaochi and feeling the wet breath in the air, Zhao Qingshan was silent for a while before suddenly saying: "Holy Mother... Are the peaches in Pantao Garden almost ripening?"
"..." Yang Wanyan was stunned when she heard this, and then chuckled: "Your Majesty is really concerned about the disasters of the immortals and gods at any time and place... Your Majesty Don't worry, the 1,200 peaches ripening every three thousand years in the Peach Garden have been fruit for many years. If nothing unexpected happens, they can be picked within ten years."
"Oh... that's fine." Zhao Qingshan really couldn't find more topics. He finally made a fuck, but after only halfway through the sound, he held it back.
The two stood silently by the Yaochi for a few minutes. It was not until Yang Wanyan couldn't help it. He suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way...Holy Mother, the reincarnation of your personal maid Yu Jiang is in my Qingyun Temple. When will the Virgin Mother go over and take her back?"
"Yu Jiang?" Yang Wanyan originally wanted to take the person back tonight, but then she suddenly changed her mouth: "Your Majesty has no maid to serve yet, right? Wanyan still has a lot of things to deal with. If you can't use Yu Jiang to accompany you, why don't you let Yu Jiang serve His Majesty first?"
"Does this woman... want to put a spy around me?" Zhao Qingshan turned this idea in his mind, but on the surface he said with a smile: "If the courtyard has just reopened today and there are still lack of elite soldiers and generals in all positions, why do I need someone to take care of me? The Holy Mother might as well see what things need to be done in the Heavenly Court, and then arrange Yu Jiang to push her first."
Yang Wanyan laughed again, did not stick to her suggestions, and nodded, "Okay, since Your Majesty wants to take the lead, Wanyan can't let others gossip, right? I heard that Your Majesty is sending the immortals to investigate the three demon immortals. Is there anyone who needs Wanyan's help?"
"This..." The matter seemed to be related to the face of the Jade Emperor. It has never been a matter of the Virgin of Yaochi. If she had to take action, would it be a bit inappropriate?
Zhao Qingshan hesitated for a moment and nodded decisively: "This matter is of great importance, and Western barbarians are hidden from it. All the immortals and gods in the entire heaven should put this matter first... I'll trouble the Holy Mother to go to the realm."
Zhao Qingshan knew that there was a Kunlun Mirror in the Kunlun Fairyland that could be found in the Three Realms and Six Paths. As long as Yang Wanyan was willing to help, the whereabouts of the three demons could be found soon.
In terms of choice of face and serious business, Zhao Qingshan undoubtedly chose the latter... He has never been a person who wants to be face-saving and suffers!!!
