”Follow me.” Chang'e Fairy breathed out like an orchid, his voice was as beautiful as jade drops falling on a plate.
Weiqing wanted to follow along, but how could he follow in the so-called flying immortal cave, where he could only turn around to follow? However, he still made a symbolic movement.
Chang'e Fairy pinched his Orchid Flower Finger and lightly pointed it at the air. Strands of immortal energy slowly floated up from the Lijiang River, and everything before his eyes became illusory. In the surrounding immortal energy, one could faintly see the original location of the river surface. A single osmanthus flower was planted, and the fragrance permeated the air. It was like a paradise, and two stone tablets could also be seen!
There were words written on the stone: A round of thousands of years old, cold and deep, all the osmanthus flowers should be white!
What a deep resentment!
Chang'e let out a long sigh and muttered to herself, ”I'm back to see you again.”
Is this' you 'talking about her legendary husband, Hou Yi?
Weiqing had heard about the legends of Chang'e and Hou Yi when he was young.
Chang'e turned her head to look at Weiqing and asked, ”Have you heard about the story between Da Yi and I?”
Weiqing nodded. ”I have.”
Chang'e said softly, ”Tell me about it.”
Weiqing frowned, but still said: ”My mother told me this, it was because of Hou Yi's achievement in shooting the sun that Western Queen Mother gave him an elixir of immortality. Then one day, Hou Yi's villain Feng Meng forced you to hand over the elixir of life while Hou Yi was hunting outside, and in a moment of desperation, you swallowed the elixir and flew down the moon to become an immortal.”
Chang'e chuckled and said, ”This version of yours is rather good to listen to.”
For example, Chang'e's Immortal Heart was only enough for one person to eat, because Chang'e took advantage of Hou Yi leaving the room to swallow the Undying Medicine and became an immortal. In the end, the Queen Mother of the West Queen became angry and turned Chang'e into a toad, sealing her in the bitter cold place, the Moon Palace, to suffer.
Chang'e looked at the moon in the sky and said slowly, ”Chang'e should be regretting stealing spiritual medicine, blue sea, blue sky, and night!”
Weiqing frowned: ”You really regretted it?”
Chang'e smiled bitterly: ”The entire world only knows that Western Queen Mother gave Da Yi an deathly medicine, but no one has ever seen that medicine. The so-called Immortal Medicine is not an Immortal Medicine at all, but poison. It was given to us husband and wife to commit suicide. Da Yi hesitated, that's why I swallowed the Undying Pellet! ”
Weiqing's face changed greatly as he said, ”The Immortal medicine is a poison? Western Queen Mother wants to poison you and Hou Yi to death, why? ”
Chang'e smiled bitterly. ”Originally, Western Queen Mother wanted to give Da Yi a deathly medicine, because she had a daughter who fancied Da Yi. Only after a mortal ate the deathly medicine, would Da Yi be able to look like Western Queen Mother's daughter, but since Da Yi rejected Western Queen Mother, the deathly medicine became a poison.”
Weiqing still did not understand, and asked: ”Since it was a poison, why did you not die after eating it, and instead fly up?”
Chang'e sighed. ”The poison bestowed by Western Queen Mother, no matter how poisonous it is, is still an immortal pill. Do you know where I come from? ”
Weiqing shook his head, he really didn't know about this.
Chang'e smiled. ”I'm Di Jun's daughter. Di Jun, you should know who he is, right? He's one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. And Da Yi is my royal father's subject. Once, when Da Yi followed my royal father out to hunt, and met me under a bay tree, we fell in love at first sight, and with the bay as our witness, we became one. Due to my father, I loved alchemy since I was young. So, not only did the Immortal Medicine not take my life, it even let me become an Immortal. ”
Weiqing asked, ”So the legendary Wu Gang cutting the Osmanthus, Moon Rabbit concocting medicine is real?”
Chang'e shook her head and said, ”Everyone thought that I was locked up by the Western Queen Mother in the Moon Palace, but they didn't know that I had Wu Gang, Yue Wei, to make medicine because I wanted to concoct the Immortal Medicine so that Da Yi wouldn't die in front of me. Unfortunately, Hou Yi was killed by his disciple Feng Meng! ”
Hearing this, Weiqing could clearly feel Chang'e's deep sorrow.
What made Weiqing curious was that whatever Chang'e said should be considered to be true, right? What did she mean by saying it to Weiqing?
Weiqing changed the topic and asked: ”Then every year, you would always lower yourself to the mortal realm …”
