Chapter 122 Birthday Banquet
In the Yunlou Palace, Li Jing, the Heavenly King of the Pagoda, was sitting in his study, twirling his beard with his left hand and scrolling a Taoist book in his right hand, reading it uneasily.
I read it for a long time without getting into it, so I simply put it down and took a walk in the courtyard.
The fat man hurried in and said, "Master, the carriage is ready."
Li Jing nodded, walked around again with his hands behind his hands, and suddenly said: "Don't worry, go and get the watch from the West Liang Kingdom for me to look at."
The fat general sighed, entered the study, took the watch and seal off the desk, and handed it to Li Jing when he went out: "Please take a look, sir."
The Heavenly Court is in charge of the affairs of the four major continents. Whenever there are major issues that cannot be dealt with among the countries, they will almost always go to the Heavenly Court and ask the Heavenly Court to make the decision. There are countless similar orders like this. Often only the important ones will attract the attention of the Heavenly Court and will be transferred.
In the hands of him, the great marshal who conquers demons.
Li Jingfu sat down on the stone pier, twisted his beard and looked again, but he just looked here and there without reading a single word.
Seeing his appearance, the fat general said: "Sir, the White Tiger God has already sent the message. Let's just follow the message and come to the door. Why hesitate."
Li Jing snorted coldly: "Madam doesn't even say a word, where can I go?"
After Nezha committed suicide at Chentang Pass, Mrs. Yin had a falling out with Li Jing and went to heaven. One lived in Kunsha Palace and the other lived in Yunlou Palace. The couple had a cold war for tens of thousands of years.
If it weren't for Gu You's little reminder when he came to post, Li Jing would have almost forgotten that today is Mrs. Yin's birthday. He really wanted to go to Kuisu Xing Mansion for a banquet, but until now, Mrs. Yin didn't send a message.
When someone comes over and delivers a message, how do you tell him to come to the door?
The fat family understood Li Jing's thoughts and planned to go to celebrate his wife's birthday, but she didn't say a word and asked others to send invitations. It was a matter of face and self-esteem. It was really embarrassing, but this was an ice-breaker created by the White Tiger God with great difficulty.
What if we don't take advantage of this good opportunity? Wouldn't it be a failure of the Lord God's hard work?
"Master, we were invited by the Lord God. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Even if there is no such thing as Madam's birthday party, shouldn't we still go to Gouchen Palace to visit the Lord God? This is what you have been talking about before."
The fat general's persuasion was not convincing, but Li Jing still agreed: "That's right, that's the truth. We are visiting the White Tiger God, and it has nothing to do with others!"
So he threw the watch stamp back into the room: "Let's go!"
The Baogai Incense Carriage started and headed westward towards Gouchen Palace.
There are twenty-eight constellations in Gouchen Palace, which are divided into four districts: east, west, north and south. When they were about to arrive, they saw Gu You, Su Xiangong, Lu Qiuzi and other commanders who had already come out of Gouchen Palace.
There was an incense carriage with a treasure cover right in front of it. Mr. Su Xiang was the first to go in, and it was none other than Master Dongji.
It was Gu You who greeted Li Jing, which made Li Jing satisfied. Since he paid more attention to Kuisiu Xingfu, he knew that Gu You was highly valued by the White Tiger God and was reused as the first counselor.
"Gu Siming, sit next to me." Li Jing invited Gu You to get on the bus. Gu You got on the bus with a smile and sat opposite Li Jing.
Before Li Jing could speak, Gu You took the initiative to remind: "Mrs. Yin is coming soon. Have you prepared the birthday gift for the King of Heaven?"
Li Jing really forgot: "This..."
It's not so much that I forgot, but rather that I didn't have this awareness. We are an old married couple who have been separated for tens of thousands of years. Isn't it just a show of dignity that I can come to support them in person? Isn't it necessary for a birthday gift?
Then Gu You took out a scroll from his sleeve and said to Li Jing: "This is made by Wang Mojie, the master of calligraphy and painting in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, specially for the birthday banquet according to the wishes of the Lord God. I also asked the King of Heaven to see it."
After Li Jing unfolded it, he only glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
It was an ordinary painting, but Li Jing couldn't put it down and sighed: "Excellent work! Wang Mojie, is he a Buddhist monk? I would like to see the holy hand in the painting when I have time."
Gu You said: "The Lord God intends to use this painting as a birthday gift for the King of Heaven, is it okay?"
Li Jing sighed: "Shenjun is very thoughtful, thank you very much."
The driver finally arrived at Kuisu Star Mansion. On the side of the road between Kuisu Star Mansion and Lousu Star Mansion, there were many treasure-covered incense carts parked, which surprised King Tota: "So many gods and gods are here?"
Gu You said: "I heard that Mrs. Yin likes to be lively, and everyone is willing to come and join in the fun."
After the driver parked the car, Taoist Taoist priest Kongcang came to greet him and took the fat family and several other drivers away to sit in another yard.
Li Jing walked through the gate of Kuisu Xing Mansion and immediately saw the Giant Spirit God, Clairvoyant, Shunfeng Er and other subordinates inside. In addition, there were Immortal Puji, He Xiangu, Lan Caihe, Cao Guojiu, etc. It was very lively.
Just as he was hesitating, Gu You came over to lead the way: "King of Heaven, let's go to the side room first. The Lord of Heaven is waiting for you there."
Li Jing nodded, walked around to a wing from the outside, and saw Gu Zuo as expected.
Gu Zuo said: "The King of Heaven will wait here for a moment. After the banquet begins, he will choose an opportunity to invite you to appear."
Li Jing asked: "What does the Lord God mean?"
Gu Zuo smiled and said, "I want to give Madam a surprise."
Li Jing agreed, chatted with Gu Zuo for a few words, and then stayed in the room and poured himself a drink. However, the wine had no taste no matter how much he drank it, so he should just rinse his mouth.
After a while, he heard the drum music playing. Li Jing quickly stood up and went to the window lattice to watch. A group of maids found from nowhere came in surrounded by a noble lady. It was Mrs. Yin who had been separated from his family for thousands of years - a consecrated lady by the Jade Emperor.
Nezha was supporting Mrs. Su Zhi. So Li Jing brought his eyes closer, almost touching the window lattice.
Mrs. Yin looked extremely surprised and a little at a loss. Then she was overjoyed and with a smile on her face, she was led by Gu Zuo to sit in the chief chair, with Nezha accompanying her on his knees.
Li Jing was relieved. It turned out that she didn't receive Madam's invitation because she didn't know. Looking at Nezha who was chatting and laughing with Madam Yin, she couldn't help but sigh.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Zuo led the immortals to congratulate each other on their birthday, and each presented a variety of strange birthday gifts. However, when the birthday gifts were presented, Mrs. Yin was asked to guess who gave them. This small part was very endearing, and caused a burst of uproar from time to time.
laughing out loud.
When a longevity pill was presented to him, Li Twelve laughed and said, "This elixir can increase your life span by three years after taking it. Madam, does she know who gave it to you?"
Mrs. Yin smiled and pointed at the two people in the field. They all guessed wrong, and simply said: "Yuanjun, please tell me, I really can't guess!"
I saw a handsome young man coming in from the side door. He came forward with a smile and prostrated himself in front of Mrs. Yin: "Mother!"
Mrs. Yin was overjoyed and stood up to help: "Jin Zha, you are not serving in front of the Bodhisattva, why are you here?"
Jin Zha smiled and said: "The child told the Bodhisattva that his mother should come back for her birthday. In total, it has been a hundred years of failure to serve the mother. It is the child's sin!"
Mrs. Yin shed tears: "It will be good to come back, it will be good to come back!"
Jin Zha is a disciple of Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun. After Tianzun entered Buddhism and became Manjushri Bodhisattva, Jin Zha was granted the title of King Taliming by Xumi.
