After a period of time, Tengu finally caught up to the time that Chang'e left the Moon Palace. He was prepared to show off to Wu Gang.
Wu Gang had planned to kill him for revenge ever since he found out that he was going to get revenge. He looked at the ancient osmanthus tree very carefully.
This was a divine tree. Not to mention three axes, it was a divine tree that even ten thousand axes could not cut through. But why did the Jade Emperor want him to chop it down? Was it because it had angered the Jade Emperor at some point in time? That was why he had to suffer the pain of being cut down?
As Wu Gang thought of this, he sat down under the laurel tree. Suddenly, he fell asleep and found himself being led into a huge space, which was like a tree hole.
Wu Gang was surprised. At this point, Old Gui spoke up, ”Wu Gang, you and I did not have any hatred between us. It's only because the osmanthus flower that fell from the sky a hundred years ago accidentally attracted the Jade Emperor's eyes that we were punished like this.”
Wu Gang nodded his head and said, ”So that's how it is. Sigh, once someone is punished in the Heaven Realm, it will be difficult to get rid of them.
”However, I have a method that can deceive the Jade Emperor's Ombudsman. I wonder, do you dare to cooperate with me?” The old laurel laughed.
”Why would a manly man not dare? Tell me.” Wu Gang was very excited.
Thus, Old Gui told him about this method quietly, and Wu Gang was very excited when he heard it.
Wen Bufan and Mu Yuan naturally did not know what Old Gui Shu and Wu Gang had said. Originally, Wen Bufan wanted to directly look at the matter of the Flowerless Fruit, but it seemed that Mu Yuan had always been letting Wen Bufan read the stories of other people.
Wen Bufan didn't know why, but she didn't reject Wu Gang's requests at all. She felt that this person seemed to be tied to her before, although she couldn't think of who he was nor why he was like this. However, a kind of intuition made her feel a sense of uneasiness in her heart.
Why should I be worried about someone who has nothing to do with it? Wen Bufan shook her head.
Mu Yuan did not say anything and continued to help Wen Bufan display information about Wu Gang and the people involved.
Winter arrived, snow, everywhere white, the mountain road was sealed, few people were seen, a beautiful heavenly wine woman, at a crossroads to sell sorghum wine, wine fragrance, so many people come to drink in her tavern.
Most of them were men. Some wanted to witness the beauty of the woman, some wanted to warm their tired bodies, and there were even people who wanted to join in on the fun …
In short, the Immortal Wine Lady's small hotel was filled with guests every day.
No matter how much the matchmaker stepped on her doorstep, the nun refused to remarry. One of her widows hired two people, a chef and a waiter. They busied themselves, both of them working diligently to clean up the tavern.
On this day, the heavy snow had driven away more than half of the customers who used to drink wine. However, there was still someone else who had come here to drink wine from the Celestial Wine Lady despite the snow.
At this moment, a man came staggering in from the distance. This man was extremely pitiful. His clothes were all in tatters, and he was dirty and smelly. He was also lying on the ground, unable to walk. When the woman saw that someone had fallen on the ground in front of her tavern, she immediately had the waiter carry him back.
The good intentions of the heavenly wine lady made the chef and the waiter unhappy. He was just a passerby, so he didn't know much about it. If he were to meet an evil person, wouldn't we be in trouble?
However, the Wine Lady said, how can I stand idly by in the face of such a cold weather? He thought to himself: That day, I was rescued by a crazy beggar girl from the cliff. If it wasn't for her, how could I be where I am today?
When she thought of Wen Bufan, she felt a wave of warmth in her heart. Where is that girl, my savior?
I don't like owing favors. You must be a deity, right? No matter what, I will never forget my kindness. I believe that God will make me wait for you. I will personally express my gratitude to you.
When Wen Bufan saw the Celestial Wine, he was very surprised. So they were actually … Sigh, I hope that the Countess of Fate will have a happy home!
The Celestial Wine Lady saved this man. When he woke up and gave him food and drinks, she realized that he couldn't walk. What should she do?
This handicapped man, if he let him go out on such a cold day to look for food? Didn't that mean he had no way to survive? Thinking about this, the woman let him stay there. The man also stayed there without a trace of politeness. He didn't even say anything as they all thought he was mute, or maybe he was someone with a screw loose.
There were a lot of things in front of the widow's door. Ever since this man came to the Celestial Wine Lady's tavern, the man who had a good impression of her felt dissatisfied. They felt jealous and resentful towards the man they had rescued, so they gradually stopped coming to the tavern to drink.
There were also rumors flying around. Some said that the Celestial Wine Lady stole men, but they actually stole that kind of person. Some said that the Wine Lady had blind eyes, and some even said that the person she saved was her previous husband …
Ever since then, the business in the Immortal Wine Lady Tavern plummeted. Later on, the chef and waiter had nothing to do every day, as there was no business in the tavern, and the Immortal Wine Lady was also very anxious. The chef and waiter hated this paralytic kid and scolded him behind his back.
”I really don't understand. Why do you think the Lady Boss wants to save this good-for-nothing? Isn't this asking for trouble? ” the chef said snappily. He knew that the crippled man who never spoke was sitting in the room.
”That's right, ever since we saved him, the business in our tavern is getting worse with each passing day! But the Lady Boss was actually reluctant to send him away? ” The waiter also agreed.
