Chapter 332 Yue Lao

Last time, we talked about Li Yi singing a song "Annual Rings" to Yuezhong Laogui, and then started chatting with Yue Lao. What did he talk about? Let's take a look.

Li Yi continued to speak to the laurel tree, "I asked you before why you didn't become the righteous god of this world, but you didn't want to answer. In my opinion, you are qualified to be the patron saint of this world, both in terms of seniority and strength.

I wonder if you are still upset about Pangu forcibly draining the water from the Moon, or if there is some other reason why you are unwilling to be the patron saint?"

Old Laurel said unhappily, "It's not just water, Pangu also took away the spiritual energy from the Moon. You guessed it right, I am indeed the patron saint of the Moon. As for why I don't want to be the patron saint of your world?"

As he was speaking, the face of the old man on the laurel tree disappeared, and the wood grain changed to form a picture. The old laurel used bark painting to tell Li Yi the story of himself and the lunar planet.

There was life on the Moon, but it was carried by plants, such as tree people, flower spirits, and vine monsters. It was once full of vitality and flourished. Old Laurel was not the creator god here, but the successor of the creator god.

Li Yi is now in the spiritual world of Taiyin Star, which is also the core of Taiyin Star, just like the Eye of Mojiu and the Source of Weak Water in the Nine Nether Hell, called the Seal of Taiyin, which is the Moon Mountain on the other side of the Moon Palace.

What was released from the Moon Mountain was the energy of the Moon, which was also capable of destroying the Moon Star. Old Laurel's mission was to protect the Moon Seal and prevent it from destroying this place, but judging from the results, it was clearly a failure.

The key to the problem is that the old laurel actively released the lunar energy, which turned the lunar planet into a barren land, that is, a frozen world. But before that, the old laurel personally destroyed all the creatures on the lunar planet and turned them into his own nutrients.

Seeing these scenes, Li Yi's face was full of surprise and confusion. He didn't even notice that Chang'e came to his side and watched the past of Old Laurel with him.

Chang'e asked, "Old Laurel, why do you want to kill them? Aren't they all your people?" Chang'e's question scared Li Yi.

Li Yi said: "Why are you walking so quietly? You're scaring people to death!"

"Humph, why didn't I scare you to death? Give my Dayi back to me!"

Li Yi rolled his eyes at Chang'e and said, "I haven't asked you to return my Shiyu yet. Get out of here. I don't have time to care about you now!" He ignored her and turned to Yuegui and said, "But are they as greedy as humans?"

Yuegui replied, "That's right, so when I saw Tai'an releasing the flood to destroy the human race, I understood her very well." As he spoke, the patterns on the tree trunk changed and he continued to tell his story.

Bark paintings show the people of Laurel praying to him for more sun, rain, and land. But the tree people, flower fairies, and vine monsters all want different things from each other.

The tree people hope that there will be water underground and more sunlight so that they can have more space to grow and live.

Flower monsters and vine monsters prefer water on the surface because they do not have as developed root systems as the tree people and cannot absorb water from the ground, and they also do not like too strong sunlight.

The result of the difficulty in satisfying everyone is naturally war. The flower demons and vine monsters joined forces to launch a war against the powerful tree people and won. The tree people became slaves of the flower demons and vine monsters. Tree people with vines wrapped around their bodies and flower demons riding on their heads can be seen everywhere on Taiyin Star.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance. The powerful tree people naturally do not want to become mounts and slaves of flower monsters and vine monsters. As conflicts and resentments continue to accumulate, a war is imminent, and the fuse of the war is the birth of a new species, the spore spirit.

In fact, the appearance of spore spirits is a sign that Old Laurel wants to destroy the world and reshuffle it. However, the tree people and the spore people get along very well. No tree person would go out without a few fungi or mosses, which is also something Old Laurel did not expect.

The flower demon and the vine monster sensed something was wrong. The weakest spore spirit had almost the same status as themselves, and the tree man was willing to do it. They couldn't stand it, so they started to eliminate the spore spirits.

The spore elves were definitely the weaker party, and they could not let the tree people, who were also being bullied, sit idly by and watch. The war broke out, and the balance of victory had already tilted towards the tree people and the spore coalition, but at the decisive battle, the spore elves actually turned against them!

No one could have imagined that the weakest spore spirits actually had the greatest ambition. They wanted to dominate the lunar planet and launched an extinction war against the three races. The spore spirits used the forbidden magic of the lunar planet, fire! The fire naturally led to destruction.

But just when Old Laurel stepped forward to stop the spore monster from killing them all, the tree people, flower monsters and vine monsters united to take revenge on the spore monster. They were so bloodthirsty that they didn't even listen to Old Laurel's words.

The guardian couldn't stand it anymore, so the old laurel used its roots to suck all the life out of the lunar planet, and then released the lunar energy to turn this place into an ice world.

After looking at the bark painting, Chang'e shook her head and sighed, "Why didn't you tell me these things before? Why did you tell him as soon as he came? Is it possible that our relationship is not as good as his?"

Laurel replied, "Because he came with a mission from Heaven. Heaven's style would not show this kid the scene from the beginning of the world for no reason."

Li Yi scratched his head and laughed, "You are the real master of everything. The Heavenly Dao really has something to ask of us, and we would like to ask you to help us deal with the poison of the Gu Shen Grass.

This guy is very powerful and is not afraid of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, so the Heavenly Dao can't do anything to him. Originally, the Heavenly Dao wanted to let Empress Tai'an take action, but I messed it up! So they sent me here..."

"Why should I interfere in human affairs? What's more, Pangu took away the water and spiritual energy from the Moon, so he has a grudge against me. Why should I help his children, and also help the human race, whom I also dislike."

"Oh, look at what you said. You have been overlooking the world for so many years, and you have so many years of work experience. Heaven wants you to become the patron saint of this world, the God of Heaven and Earth!"

"I'm not interested."

Li Yi squatted under the laurel tree with his hands folded, and whispered: "I want to say a few words from the bottom of my heart. You have seen the style of this Tai'an Goddess. The Buddhist sect even believes that Tai'an Goddess is the greatest suffering in the world.

The key is that Empress Tai'an is too easily influenced by the outside world and has an unstable temperament, which is indeed a hidden danger. The most stable shape in the world is a triangle. If you can become the God of Heaven and Earth, it will be just like a tripod, restraining and helping each other, how great it is. "

"Humph, is it you who wants me to restrain Tai'an, or is it Heaven who wants me to restrain Tai'an?"

"Of course it's the junior. How could Master Tiandao have such an idea?"

"Go back and tell Tiandao that I have lived for so long and have seen through many things. I have seen enough and I am no longer interested in meddling in other people's affairs."

"Then why did Senior protect Chang'e? And why did he help her use her soul to transform into Shiyu to meet me?"

"I've been alone on this lunar planet for too long. I finally have a companion. I just want to kill time when I'm bored!"

Li Yi pointed at the Moon Palace and said, "Isn't it an attempt by Senior to help Chang'e sever my marriage with Nangong Xue? I think Senior has already understood the law of fate in this world and can influence or even change the cycle of cause and effect."

"So what?"

Li Yi smiled and said, “I have heard that there is an old man under the moon, or Yue Lao for short. He is the god in charge of marriage and will tie the wooden statues of lovers together with red ropes to determine their marriage.

As the saying goes, a thousand miles of love are tied by a thread, and his red string can determine the fate of two people. In my opinion, isn’t this the law of fate? I wonder if Senior Yuegui is this immortal?"

Li Yi was of course fooling people. The legend of Yue Lao only existed in the Ming Dynasty. There was no such thing as Yue Lao now. It was just a trick played by Li Yi.

The old man's face appeared on the trunk of the laurel tree again, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He muttered, "Red rope? Wooden statue? Yue Lao? What you said is quite interesting." As he spoke, a cassia branch bent down, and two wooden statues grew on it. They were Li Yi and Chang'e.

A red string entangled the two wooden statues together, and then red ropes appeared on Li Yi's left wrist and Chang'e's right wrist at the same time. The two ends slowly extended and finally connected into one.

Chang'e said unhappily, "What is this, Old Laurel, what are you doing?"

Old Laurel laughed and said, "Wonderful! From now on, I will be the matchmaker, in charge of the marriages in the world. Tiandao, Taian, do you agree?"

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, strange phenomena appeared, purple clouds piled up in the sky, divine thunder was stimulated, the stars chained into a network, the sky was purple below and blue above, this was a sign that the Heavenly Dao itself had arrived.

The voice of the Heavenly Dao came: "Senior, you should have been appointed as a true god, but it would be a waste of your talent to only manage marriages. Senior has also taken care of a piece of heaven and earth, and you have a lot of experience that I can learn from."

Yue Gui laughed and said, "Those are all my experiences of failure. I can't bring them up to embarrass myself! Hey, why hasn't Tai'an arrived yet?"

"He must be taking a nap. He's not awake at the moment."

"Well, I know that girl has a bad temper. If you don't want to wake her up, then let me wake her up!" As he spoke, a osmanthus fruit fell from the branch and went straight into the ground.

The entire netherworld was shaking like an earthquake, especially in Hell. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's backlight was on, and he used his Dharma to support the newly built Yama Hall. The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Bodhisattva also used their bodies to support the beams and pillars. The Black and White Rakshasas and a group of surrendered Asuras pressed down the objects and scriptures in the hall.

When the shaking stopped, Ksitigarbha counted with his fingers, but he couldn't come up with a result. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva naturally couldn't figure out that there was an extra righteous god between heaven and earth. He thought it was the soul of some ancient demon god who wanted to escape from hell, so he immediately went to the deepest part of hell to check.

On the other side, Tiangou stood in front of Houtu Cave and howled to the sky, asking about the situation in Huodou Hell. Huodou's body was burning with dark red flames, and he also howled to the sky in response, telling his father that everything in hell was normal. At this time, Di Ting also came out to interrupt and told his father that Dizang had already checked the hell and was about to go to Jiuyou.

After three wolf howls, Tai'an Niangniang yawned, stretched, and walked out of the Houtu Cave leisurely. She said to Tiangou, "Stop howling, Ergouzi! Everything is fine. It's just that the old laurel in the moon called me to get up."

"Old Laurel? Is he that capable? He can actually shake up the underworld?"

“After all, Lao Gui was once the patron saint of the Moon. Although Father God Pangu took away the water and spiritual energy of the Moon, he did not abolish his godhood.

He just doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of this world. In terms of divine power, he is no less powerful than me and the Heavenly Dao.

I just don't know what the old tree demon is thinking. Why is he suddenly willing to intervene in this matter? "

At this moment, a large stone with yellow, blue and green colors suddenly grew in front of Hou Tu Rock, with the words "San Sheng Shi" engraved in gold and moon characters on the stone.

Taian stepped forward to take a look and asked in confusion: "Destiny is predestined for three lives. Hiss, is this old laurel trying to interfere with the laws of fate and cause and effect in this world? No, I have to go ask him." After saying that, he flicked his snake tail and flew out.

In a blink of an eye, a black-gold giant python rushed out of the Tianchi Lake and headed straight for the bright moon in the sky. In a few breaths, Empress Tai'an came to the Moon Palace. She deliberately landed on the laurel tree and shook off countless laurel leaves just to get back her place.

The giant black-gold python circled around Old Laurel several times before slowly landing on the ground. When Li Yi and Chang'e saw Queen Tai'an coming, they immediately saluted and greeted her.

Empress Tai'an ignored them and stood in front of the laurel tree. She looked up at the sky and said, "Brother is here too. Is there something important you want to announce that you're waiting for me?"
