Chapter 1857
The Cowherd 6
Fortunately, just as Dong Yong and his family were about to be thrown into the alchemy furnace, the Weaver Girl and several other princesses appeared.
Although the imperial city restricted their use of immortal magic, the way they suddenly appeared still showed that they were not ordinary people.
The Weaver Girl reveals her identity and further explains the identities of the Seventh Fairy, intending to leave with the Seventh Fairy and Dong Yong.
The emperor dared not offend the gods, so he could only let the Weaver Girl take Dong Yong's family away.
The sixth princess saw the Magnolia Fairy hiding in the corner.
The Seven Fairies then remembered that it had been more than thirty years since Fairy Yulan had said she was going to the capital.
The Seven Fairies didn't know what Fairy Yulan had gone through, and they were very sad that Fairy Yulan wanted to hurt herself.
Several of her sisters comforted her.
The eldest princess said, "That Yulan looks like a woman in her forties or fifties from the mortal world. She must have lost her immortal body and become a mortal."
Second Princess: "He probably brought it on himself."
The Third Princess said, "We don't need to do anything; she doesn't have many years left to live."
The Fourth Princess said, "I'll go find the judge and make her be reborn as an animal in her next life."
Fifth Princess: "If she has her memories, can she cultivate to become an immortal again?"
The Sixth Princess said, "If she were to be reincarnated as a pig, even if she were to become an immortal, she would still be fat and have no eyebrows."
Weaver Girl: "Good idea."
The seventh princess was happy to hear that her sisters had stood up for her.
Under heaven, all land belongs to the king.
Dong Yong's family could no longer survive in the land ruled by the emperor, so the Weaver Girl and her companions sent them to an island overseas.
The island's indigenous people saw a family of three descend from the sky and regarded them as gods, worshipping them greatly.
Dong Yong was a kind person who knew how to repay kindness. The indigenous people treated them well, so they naturally wanted to repay them.
Professor Dong Yong taught the locals how to read, how to farm, and even how to make tofu.
The Weaver Girl teaches indigenous women how to weave cloth.
The indigenous people's lives improved, and they were very grateful to the Dong family, so they supported Dong Yong as their king.
Dong Yong lived with the Seventh Fairy for a hundred years.
A hundred years later, the two died. The Seven Fairies did not choose to return to Heaven with their sisters, but instead followed Dong Yong to be reincarnated.
When they were reincarnated, the Seventh Fairy asked the Weaver Girl to ask the Old Man of the Moon for a red thread to tie him and Dong Yong together so that they could continue to be husband and wife in their next life.
Dong Yong and the Seventh Princess educated the small country and gained much merit. In their next life, they will both be able to be reborn into good families.
The Weaver Girl sighed, for there was no longer a Seventh Princess in Heaven.
……
Liu Dong received an invitation from the Queen Mother of the West to attend the Peach Banquet.
Liu Dong had never tasted the peaches of immortality in this world, but she was still somewhat interested, so she went to the Heavenly Court.
The Queen Mother arranged a spot for Liu Dong that was very close to the front but not inconspicuous.
A heavenly general dressed in silver armor sat next to him.
The celestial general was very handsome, with features more delicate than many female immortals; he was a rare beauty.
Tianjiang was a very outgoing person. Although he knew that Liu Qiu's identity was not simple, he was not too afraid and happily chatted with Liu Qiu.
The heavenly general introduced himself: "I am Marshal Tianpeng of the Heavenly Court."
Liu Tong: "..."
Amazing!
No wonder many literary novels portray the second senior brother as a handsome man!
Turns out he really is a handsome guy!
Seriously, would such a handsome young man really flirt with Chang'e?
Could there be a conspiracy involved?
Liu Tong recalled that many fanfictions said that Journey to the West was another great calamity after the Investiture of the Gods, so not only Western Buddhism, but also the Eastern Heavenly Court and Taoism were involved.
Aside from the monsters that already had owners along the way, all three sides had placed people in the pilgrimage team. Among them, Sha Wujing was probably from the Heavenly Court, while Zhu Bajie was probably from Taoism.
It is said that the second senior brother was a disciple of the Human Sect and a nominal disciple of the Grand Master Xuandu.
Liu Tong asked, "Does the Marshal recognize the Grand Master Xuandu?"
Tianpeng was startled.
Grand Master Xuandu was indeed his master, but after the Investiture of the Gods, he left this world with his grandmaster, the Sage Taiqing, and went to the outer heavens.
In this world, apart from the Jade Emperor and Laozi, no one knows his relationship with the Human Sect.
Who exactly is this Young Master Liu? Is he the reincarnation of some ancient powerful being?
In front of this person, Tianpeng did not dare to deny it, and said, "Grand Master Xuandu is my master, but I am only his nominal disciple."
Liu Tong: "A disciple in name only is quite remarkable, but he is a grand-disciple of a sage."
Tianpeng chuckled.
Indeed! Because of his status, the Jade Emperor treated him with great courtesy.
Liu Tong twitched her lips; the guy in front of her was a complete naive and innocent fool.
No wonder you were reborn as a pig.
After the Peach Banquet, Liu Dong and Tian Peng became friends.
Tianpeng often came to chat and drink with Liu Qiu.
Although Tianpeng was a warm-hearted person, he actually didn't have many friends. His interactions with the gods in Heaven were always somewhat distant, and no god could confide in him.
The immortals of the Jie Sect formed their own group, and other immortals could not integrate into them.
The other deities also each have their own power.
The only person Tianpeng could confide in was Laozi, but Laozi was an incarnation of the Supreme Saint and Tianpeng's elder, not a friend.
Besides that, he also had some connections with the Eight Immortals and the Three Star Gods of Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity.
However, he often drank with the lowest-ranking heavenly soldiers.
They could always learn a lot of inside information about the Heavenly Court from the heavenly soldiers.
Since Tianpeng had no one to share with, he came to gossip with Liu Tong.
As a result, Liu Dong also learned many secrets of the Heavenly Court.
For example, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were only husband and wife in name only.
The Jade Emperor went through a hundred lifetimes of tribulations, and the Queen Mother was his wife in his last lifetime.
When the Jade Emperor attained enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.
The Queen Mother thus became a deity, known as the Queen Mother.
Yaochi was a territory allocated to the Queen Mother by the Jade Emperor, and the Queen Mother possessed some of the ability to manage female immortals.
But in reality, these rights were divided from the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West is the true Queen Mother, the true head of all female immortals.
However, like other powerful beings, the Queen Mother of the West went beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens and never returned to this world.
Therefore, all the female immortals sought refuge with the current Queen Mother.
For example, the Weaver Girl got married; she married the new Cowherd Star Lord.
The Cowherd Star Lord was a virtuous person for ten lifetimes, and after ascending to heaven, he was granted the title of Star Lord.
This person had done good deeds for nine lifetimes. If he did good deeds again in his last life, he would surely ascend to heaven. Therefore, he was targeted by demons.
Of course, there is no such thing as being able to ascend to heaven by eating a bite of its flesh. Rather, if a demon forms a relationship with a human, when that human ascends to heaven, the demon can follow the example of the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the Seven Fairy Maidens, and "ascend to heaven with their chickens and dogs."
A female demon then desired to become that man's wife.
This female demon was actually a peony flower demon, whose true form was planted in that person's courtyard.
At night, the flower fairy transformed into human form and went to the man's study, wanting to add fragrance to his sleeves.
That man was a true gentleman and refused the flower fairy's advances.
When the flower fairy realized her first plan had failed, she devised another scheme… (End of Chapter)
