"Third brother said that it is very sad to see the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl once a year. Don't you know that one day in the sky and one year in the earth?"
Ling Qing looked at him and said: "In the mortal world, people see them once a year and expect them to see them twice a year, or even once a month.
But how do mortals know that for heaven, they see each other every day? "
"Really? It turns out to be Dongbin Meng Lang." Lu Dongbin paused when he heard the words, touched his nose, and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, let's continue drinking." Zhang Guolao said loudly again, holding up a glass of wine and inviting all the immortals to drink together.
Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, He Xiangu and others responded one after another.
Lan Caihe also picked up the bamboo board and sang to congratulate the Queen Mother and all the immortals.
After a while, the atmosphere became lively again.
"Perhaps the Immortal doesn't know that the two realms of the Milky Way and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are the same as the mortal world. They really only meet once a year." Fairy Peony, who had been staying by Lingqing's side, poured him another glass of wine and whispered road.
Lingqing picked up the wine glass and said calmly: "I know."
"The Immortal knows? Then why..." Fairy Peony looked at him in surprise.
"Are you waiting for my third brother to annoy the queen and make everyone unhappy?" Lingqing glanced at her, "Besides, if our love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night?
There is a cloud in the world, if you wish to win the heart of one person, they will never be apart.
However, there are many couples in the world who are in love and never end.
Although the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl only meet once a year, it is this annual meeting that makes their relationship even closer.
Just like this cup of fairy brew, it gets stronger over time. "
As he spoke, he took an empty gold bottle, took the wine flask from her hand, poured a glass and handed it to her.
"Besides, what happened to them is better than that of Fairy Yunhua, right?"
Fairy Peony took the wine glass blankly, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Erlang Shen Yang Jian.
I noticed that he was drinking one cup after another with no expression on his face at this time, and he was obviously feeling something.
Fairy Yunhua is the mother of Yang Jian, the Erlang God. She originally descended to earth secretly, moved her mortal heart, and gave birth to the three brothers and sisters of Yang Jian.
But later, Fairy Yunhua was crushed under Peach Mountain, and Father Yang and Yang Dalang died.
Only Yang Jian and his sister were left helpless and tortured in the world.
Compared with Fairy Yunhua, the pair of Cowherd and Weaver Girl are considered good.
"Okay, you should go back." Lingqing waved to her, then picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass.
The Peony Fairy glanced at him and stood up to leave. When she came to the Queen Mother, she realized that she was still holding a glass of wine in her hand.
Seeing the Queen Mother looking at her, she smiled, put the wine glass aside, and then stood beside the Queen Mother.
But he thought secretly in his heart: 'Why did Donghua become so...
In the past, he was so stingy in interceding, but now he is very affectionate and expresses love clearly.
Has the human world changed so much?
I think I also ascended from the human world. Why didn't I have such transparent principles back then? '
She couldn't help but glance at Ling Qing and Lu Dongbin again. Fortunately, the singing and dancing was in full swing now, and the Queen Mother didn't pay attention to her little movements.
At this time, Lu Dongbin changed his mind. How can it be seen in the sky and on the earth for a year, one day at a time? They are all fooling themselves.
He glared at Ling Qing and stood up to say something else.
When Lingqing saw it, he quickly stood up and said: "Queen Mother! The little fairy was too drunk and was afraid of being rude, so he left first.
The third brother wanted to see me off, so he also said goodbye. "
"Well, that's alright. In that case, please step back first. I'll help someone deliver these flat peaches to you." The Queen Mother looked at Ling Qing with a smile on her face.
Ling Qing's words just now satisfied her very much.
Even if the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl really meet once a year, in her opinion, they only meet once a day.
After all, for her, one day in the sky and one year on earth are just one day, right?
"Thank you, empress." Lingqing bowed, came to Lu Dongbin, picked him up and left.
When they arrived outside the Yaochi, Lu Dongbin threw his hand away and said, "Okay, I didn't expect that I would be fooled by you today."
"It's not that I scared you, it's that you almost scared all the immortal friends to death." Ling Qing looked at him and smiled.
"Am I right? It's true. We can only see each other once a year. They don't know how much they should miss her." Lu Dongbin said dissatisfiedly, waving his sleeves.
"You should stay there, the law of heaven prohibits gods and immortals from falling in love.
Zhinv knowingly committed the crime, didn't she deserve to be punished? "Ling Qing shook his head and said.
"Is it wrong for two people to fall in love?" Lu Dongbin looked at Ling Qing with some confusion.
In his opinion, Ling Qing and He Xiangu clearly had a good impression, so why would he say such a thing?
"There is nothing wrong with two people falling in love, but love between immortals and immortals, and between immortals and humans, is expressly prohibited by heaven's rules." Ling Qing looked at him and said, "If you really want to fall in love, then go down to the mortal world. .
By then, heaven's rules and regulations will naturally have no control over a mortal like him.
However, if you want to have the identity of a fairy and god, but also want to not abide by the constraints of heaven's rules and regulations, I'm afraid it's a bit taken for granted.
The birth of every heavenly rule has its reason and mission.
Until there are new changes that prove that the old rules of heaven are no longer applicable, then it is necessary for it to exist.
As for the prohibition of romance among gods, it is obvious that it is still necessary to exist. "
"What Dao Qing said is exactly what he said." Han Zhongli's voice came from behind the two of them.
The two turned around and saw that Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao, He Xiangu, and Lan Caihe had all come out.
"You, when will you be as worry-free as Dao Qing? Why didn't I try your mouth in the tenth trial?
You almost got me into trouble today.
If Dao Qing hadn't responded promptly, I'm afraid the Queen Mother would have punished you so that you would never be able to speak. "Han Zhongli looked at Lu Dongbin and said with some hatred for iron.
"Why can't gods fall in love?" Lu Dongbin said still puzzled.
He is only in his twenties now, and has not recovered the memory of his previous life. He is still a human being.
If it weren't for fame, he would have married and had children at this age.
He really doesn't understand why gods are so afraid of great love.
This is also what triggered his love crisis through the relationship between Fei Changfang and Zhenniang.
That's what makes him so obsessed with love.
"You, you, you, you really piss me off." Han Zhongli pointed at him and said angrily.
"Am I wrong?" Lu Dongbin said unconvinced.
"Okay, okay, let's go to Tushita Palace to talk. This is the gate of Yaochi." Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Lingqing, He Xiangu and others quickly pushed them away.
In this heaven, there are few places where the Queen Mother can be concealed.
Besides, it was still at the door of her Yaochi. Wasn't this made clear to her?
This is no different from hitting her in the face.
Everyone came to Tushita Palace all the way. Laojun hadn't come back yet, so everyone casually found a pavilion to sit down.
"Actually, it's not that gods can't fall in love. On the contrary, gods must be affectionate and righteous." Ling Qing looked at Lu Dongbin and said.
"Dao Qing, why are you..." Han Zhongli looked at Ling Qing in disbelief.
"Brother Zhongli, don't be anxious." Lingqing waved her hand to signal him to calm down, then looked at Lu Dongbin who was interested and said, "Isn't the brotherhood between you and me not love?
Isn't the master-disciple relationship between you and Han Zhongli not love?
Also, Cowherd and Weaver Girl, if you just watch them suffer, is the love between them fake? "
"Then why are all the immortals as afraid of love as tigers?" Lu Dongbin asked puzzledly.
"A Taoist should see through all joys and sorrows, so as not to be bound by worldly sentiments.
However, most people find it difficult to maintain such self-control.
You should know that the most difficult thing to do is to control a person's mind.
But to make the mind feel fearful, it is necessary to use some coercion. Once the coercion lasts for a long time, it will become natural.
This is the origin of heavenly rules.
This rule was never made to restrain people, but to alert people. "Ling Qing once participated in formulating the heavenly rules and regulations during the Warring States dungeon.
I have also seen the laws and regulations formulated by the Special Affairs Department in reality.
Naturally, we understand these principles.
"Similarly moved by emotion, Fairy Yunhua was suppressed under Peach Mountain. Her husband and eldest son died, leaving only a son and a daughter.
Although the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are inevitably separated by the Milky Way and can only see each other once a year, they still live in peace and harmony. Why do you think this is? "
"This..." Lu Dongbin couldn't help but hesitate after hearing this.
"That's because Fairy Yunhua openly resisted the power of Heaven for her own selfish reasons, so she will inevitably suffer backlash from Heaven's rules.
The Weaver Girl left with the Queen Mother, not flouting the rules of heaven. On the contrary, the Cowherd chased her with her two children, showing a commendable friendship.
The two were so infatuated that the Queen Mother was moved and asked to meet once a year.
It can be said to be an act of mercy outside the law. "
Lingqing looked at the silent Lu Dongbin and said: "In your opinion, the immortals are as afraid of love as tigers, but in the eyes of the immortals, this is about sticking to one's own heart and not indulging in selfish feelings.
You should know that in ancient times humans and gods mixed together, causing many tragic situations.
How many of those gods and men who act wantonly are the sons of gods and men? How many of them do it because of their own personal feelings, regardless of all the people?
Heaven has set many rules and regulations. Are they to contain the immortals, or to protect them and all the people in the world?
If the immortals and gods were not restrained by heavenly rules and acted arbitrarily, it would not be the demons but the immortals and gods who would cause disaster. "
"Hahaha, Junior Brother Wudang is a good disciple." A voice came from outside.
Everyone turned to look and saluted quickly: "Laojun!"
It was Master Xuandu who came, followed by the Peony Fairy who was carrying peaches.
The immortals seemed to be unaware of what he called "the unworthy junior brother".
All I heard was Laojun praising Lingqing.
"Lao Jun is so complimentary. I just saw too much and thought too much." Ling Qing replied.
"If you have such an idea, I won't worry about your love affair.
Even if this feeling doesn't go away in the future, it will eventually be destroyed. Master Xuandu said, looking at He Xiangu and laughing.
Then he looked at Lu Dongbin and said, "I know you are in love now.
But just because of this, you should be more indifferent.
Love is the most selfish thing. If you can turn personal love into great love, even a god should do the same. "
"Disciple has learned the lesson." Lu Dongbin heard this and bowed in response.
Only when you know how to do it can you become the Tao.
Lingqing thought very thoroughly on many major principles, but when it came to everything, he was not as thorough as he thought.
However, his way is to understand one's mind and nature and let nature take its course.
It doesn't matter if you can't do it right now, as long as you don't let your mind be confused, you can eventually do it slowly.
This is seeking the Tao, this is the true meaning of practice.
"You left in a hurry and before you had time to eat the peaches, the Queen Mother asked me to bring them to you.
Now you can hold a small peach party here with me. "Laojun flicked the whisk, and a table of wine and food appeared on the table in the pavilion.
"These are the flat peaches sent by the Queen Mother." The Peony Fairy placed seven flat peaches in the middle of the table.
"Oh, there is something to eat. I thought I was going to miss the flat peach this time." Zhang Guolao was overjoyed and sat down quickly. He took the jade chopsticks and looked at the delicious food in front of him, wondering which one he should eat first. .
"Guo Lao just can't eat in front of you." The immortals laughed when they saw it.
Master Xuandu nodded and disappeared.
