White tea legend

Chapter 15: Leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade

The annual human market is bustling with activity.

People came from all over, bringing their own specialties. They first went to the market to exchange their daily necessities, and then went to the Temple of Wealth to burn incense and pray for blessings.

The Temple of Wealth is the place of greatest belief in people's hearts.

In the morning, the sun had just risen and there were already crowds of people in front of the Temple of Wealth. Some people come to burn incense and pray for blessings, some come to watch the fun, and some come to do business. They stood or sat, talked or laughed, forming a lively scene.

In front of the temple gate, there is a lot of incense. The incense candles in people's hands are burning, emitting a rich aroma. They knelt on the ground devoutly, clasped their hands, and murmured words to pray for the God of Wealth's protection. Their faces were filled with expectation and hope, as if they would be favored by the God of Wealth and live a prosperous life as long as they burned this incense stick. After praying, people put the earthen incense in their hands into the incense burner. The incense ashes in the incense burner have piled up like a mountain, and the whole temple is filled with incense.

In the temple, the altar in front of the statue is filled with various offerings. There are fresh fruits, steaming meals, and gold and silver jewelry. People lined up and bowed to the statues one by one.

The statue of the god above the altar wears a golden crown and gorgeous red robe, holds a huge gold ingot, and sits on a magnificent throne. The throne is inlaid with various precious gems and gold and silver ornaments, and is surrounded by flowers. The clay statue has bright eyes, thick eyebrows, and neat beard. It looks at the living beings in the temple with a kind face and a smile, as if it is very satisfied with people's worship.

The Yaksha next to him is ferocious and terrifying. If it were not standing next to the amiable statue of the God of Wealth, it would definitely scare all living beings.

"Calm down your expression," the God of Wealth said to his attendant, "Just be content. Our God of Wealth has been in decline and depression for many years, and has never accepted the worship of humans?"

"Master God of Wealth, Yaksha has been wronged for so many years and has been spurned and cursed by these humans. Who did Yaksha offend?" his attendant said aggrievedly.

"Aren't you innocent now? Our Temple of Wealth has also restored its incense, and everything is getting better."

In the past, human beings were trapped in their own illnesses and suffering, and living healthily became their greatest wish. Promotion and wealth were not their interests and hobbies. In addition, Yaksha became the scapegoat for the unprecedented plague, and the Temple of Wealth was destroyed by human beings. He smashes and throws excrement to vent his anger. The God of Wealth is angry and can't explain it, so how can he dare to ask for incense?
  Fortunately, the clouds finally cleared and the moon shone brightly.

"Yes, Master Wealth, everything is fine." The attendant was finally convinced by the God of Wealth.

Such conversations cannot be heard by the humans who burn incense and worship. They live in their own world, separate from the world of gods.

However, a female Bodhisattva heard it.

Among the dense crowd, the God of Wealth saw the blue suit at a glance.

In the pure place in the backyard of the Temple of Wealth, the God of Wealth led his attendant Yaksha and appeared in front of the female Bodhisattva in blue.

"The presence of the great mother-in-law in the small temple really makes the temple shine." The God of Wealth led his attendants to greet him.

"In the human world, I have a human name, Lan Gu."

"I haven't seen Lan Gu soon."

The God of Wealth pulled his attendant.

"Is this Yaksha?"

"So over the years, he has been unjustly accused."

Lan Gu carefully looked at the huge monster next to the God of Wealth. At first glance, it seemed that the monster could indeed be fake. It is impossible to tell the difference with the naked eye in a mortal fetus, but Lan Gu is not a mortal, she is a female Bodhisattva.

When Lan Gu left the Temple of Wealth, Yasha began to sob in frustration.

"Mr. God of Wealth, what are you talking about? I've obviously been wronged, why do you still say I'm not wronged?"

"Just be content. You were originally supposed to take the blame, but now that I can still clear your name, how about you secretly enjoy it?"

"I am the attendant of the God of Wealth, how dare you ask me to take the blame?" Yaksha not only felt wronged for himself, but also felt wronged for the God of Wealth.

"You are the attendant of the God of Wealth, and who is the attendant of others? If you are asked to take the blame for others, that is because they think highly of you."

Yasha really wanted to know which big tree the guy who looked exactly like him was leaning against to enjoy the shade, but the God of Wealth said: "He who doesn't know is not guilty. The more he knows, the greater the sin!"

He was so frightened that even a big guy like Yasha had no choice but to shut up.

The other big guy was screaming and cursing all the way.

He is tall, big and strong, and is tied tightly with three immortal ropes, but his mouth is not tied, and he is moaning: "Prince Danzhu! Prince Danzhu!"

"Stop letting him scream! Don't you think it's enough to harm Prince Danzhu?"

A young and feminine-looking immortal attendant took out a smelly sock, balled it up into a ball, and stuffed it into the big man's mouth, so that the escorting heavenly soldiers and generals could be cleansed.

"Let's go to Danshui now, thank you for your hard work." The immortal attendant stuffed a brocade bag into several escort officers. The brocade bag was bulging, and I think it contained a lot of good treasures.

"Thank you, Immortal Ruiyu." The escort officers escorted the big guy away. Immortal Ruiyu watched them walk away towards the sky, and couldn't help waving his sleeves, as if to shake off some bad luck.

When he turned around, he was startled.

At some point, a female Bodhisattva in blue stood behind her.

"The great mother-in-law..."

"In the human world, I have a human name, Lan Gu."

"I've met Lan Gu."

Lan Gu asked: "Is Ma Mo really the attendant of Prince Danzhu?"

Immortal Ruiyu remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"Why did Prince Danzhu let his attendants cause such trouble in the world?"

"Prince Danzhu doesn't know about the evil demon causing harm to the world."

"Then do you know?"

Ruiyu was shocked and tried to find a clean house for His Royal Highness, but he could not cause the fire to burn himself.

"Ruiyu and Prince Danzhu have always been inseparable."

"Where is Prince Danzhu at this time?"

Ruiyu immediately looked ashamed, bowed to Lan Gu, turned around in a circle, and ran away.

……

Heaven, by the Tianhu Lake.

The fairy spirit is still floating, the lake is still deep blue, and the aquatic plants on the lake are still enchanting.

On this side of the lake, the palace is majestic and surrounded by auspicious clouds.

On the other side of the lake, a palace made of jasper sparkled with green light.

On the lake, several bridges made of jasper were erected, and groups of cranes and birds were flying on the bridges.

These bridges did not exist in the past three hundred years.

In the past three hundred years, not many immortals could go out of the lake, because there were 1892 medicinal stone spirits living on the other side of the lake. Doctor Li Yi and sixteen other doctors can only go in and out of Tianhu by boat, which is very inconvenient.

Today, there are three deputy medical gods living on the other side of the lake: A Bao, the deputy medical god, Yuan Xiang, the deputy medical god, and Chai Zi, the deputy medical god.

As soon as Executive Bao took office, the first thing he did was to build a bridge on Tianhu Lake.

As the only Nuwa Stone in the Six Realms, Executive Bao is not only a deputy medical god, but also in charge of the world's rare stones. There is no shortage of stones for any beautiful bridge you want to build.

Those earthly immortals and mountain gods not only sent stones, but also skilled craftsmen to build the bridge. The bridge was first made exquisitely and beautifully in the lower realm, and then sent to the heavenly realm, along with a skilled craftsman to install it on the lake.

Seeing that there were too many bridges, a mountain god came up with an idea and built three stone towers out of white marble to bring them up.

The three stone towers are spherical and hollow. Each tower has five small round holes. They are placed in the water. Together with the reflection in the water, there are 32.

On a moonlit night, Manager Bao and his two senior sisters, Yuan Xiang and Chai Zi, were enjoying the scenery on the Jiuqu Bridge. They could see through the three stone pagoda holes at the same time. Thirty-two", graceful and beautiful.

That night, it was a bright moon in the sky again. The three assistant medical gods were admiring the beautiful scenery of "Three Pools Reflecting the Moon" on the Jiuqu Bridge, but their hearts were full of melancholy.

The Baicao Garden in the night clouds was empty and silent, no longer the grand scene it had been for three hundred years.

"I miss my master and my junior brothers and sisters so much!" Yuan Xiang, the deputy medical doctor, sighed.

"I wonder how they are doing now." Chaizi, the deputy medical god, also sighed.

Executive Bao felt a little guilty, as his position as Executive Deputy Medical God should have gone to Sixth Junior Brother Lu Yu.
