This trip to heaven can be regarded as a complete harvest. Not only did he vaguely understand the meaning of the Jade Emperor, but more importantly, he established a relationship with Zhao Xuantan.
From the next day, Tang Sanzong continued to retreat to attack the last level of the Nine Transformations Yuan Gong.
Just as the Queen Mother said, after reaching the Daluo realm, one has reached the ultimate level that one's skills can improve. Cultivation is secondary, and what's important is the understanding of the rules of heaven.
From the beginning of this stage, it depends on personal understanding and chance. Just like Ran Deng and Zhao Xuantan, they achieved enlightenment during the emperor's period, but were trapped in the Daluoxian for countless years and could not achieve perfection.
Only after Ran Deng obtains Zhao Gongming's twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls can he say, "My way has been accomplished!"
Although the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong is an innate skill, it is not difficult at Tang San's level. With the Queen Mother's massive accumulation of resources, it can be completed in less than ten days.
The golden body Taoist body improved again, and was fully 50% stronger than before practicing the Nine Transformation Yuan Gong. Unfortunately, he did not understand the pupil technique, which made Tang Sanzian a little disappointed.
Maybe the pupil technique requires a special physique, or maybe I haven't had the chance yet?
Whatever!
I will slowly understand the various changes in the exercises later.
However, his dedicated training during this period of time finally allowed him to stabilize himself in the early stage of Daluo Immortal.
The annual vacation is coming to an end in a blink of an eye, and this day coincides with the Lantern Festival.
I remembered that His Majesty the King of Tang would lift the curfew and hold a lantern viewing party in Chang'an every year on these days, so I decided to take everyone to the lantern show as a happy reunion before leaving.
Everyone was happy to hear this, and even the Queen Mother nodded and smiled in agreement. The most active one was naturally wailing and drooling while hugging Brother San Zan.
Everyone once doubted whether she was really stupid, because only she could hold Tang San in his arms and eat tofu openly.
Speaking of the Lantern Festival, it originally originated from the folk custom of turning on lights to pray for blessings. After Buddhism spread eastward, it gradually became a legal holiday.
Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty revered Buddhism and ordered that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, lanterns should be lit in palaces and temples to represent the Buddha, in order to promote Buddhism.
This burning lamp is not the ancient burning lamp that snatched Zhao Gongming's magic weapon, but the meaning of lighting the lamp.
When it came to Emperor Wu of Liang who believed deeply in Buddhism, he even opened up the lights.
Since then, this custom spread from the palace to the people, and gradually formed the Lantern Festival.
In the Tang Dynasty, because Li Tang worshiped Taoism, it was renamed Shangyuan Festival with a strong Taoist color and was designated as a national holiday.
And the three yuan are used to match the three officials. The heaven official of the upper yuan gives blessings, the earth official of the middle yuan forgives sins, and the water official of the lower yuan relieves misfortune.
Therefore, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the night of Lantern Festival is the time when the Heavenly Official of the Shangyuan Dynasty bestows blessings.
Of course, the Heavenly Official is not capable of giving blessings to the Great Heavenly Lord.
But to the Queen Mother, what matters is not where she goes, but who she is with.
The daughter of Qiyi Fairy and Nishang were even more ecstatic and followed the leader down to earth. This kind of good thing would only be agreed to by Brother Sanzang.
The empress really dotes on him!
Tang Sanbian smiled bitterly and said: "Dear fairies, I would like to advise you in advance to dress up ugly, so as not to be taken advantage of by others!"
"Hey, the only one who can take advantage of us is Brother Sanzang!"
"Hey, Xuan Yi, how can you insult someone's innocence out of thin air?"
"Baby, listen to my explanation, hey!"
…
After everyone concealed their appearance, they arrived outside Chang'an City. They had already received the news and were greeted by the beautifully dressed Mei Niang.
It's a pity that all this thought was in vain. With a touch of Tang San's hand, she transformed into a village girl. Mei Niang wanted to cry but had no tears.
Seeing the Queen Mother, Meiniang, Nishang, Aowu and the Fairy Daughter in Seven Clothes, all eleven stunning beauties being dressed up horribly by him, Tang Sanzian nodded with satisfaction and waved his sleeves.
"Let's go, I'll protect you, and I won't let others take advantage of you!"
"If you want to take it, I'll take it." Tang Sanzian added in his heart.
Everyone came into the city laughing and joking!
I saw that the east and west areas of the city were full of markets, where merchants from all over the world gathered. There were mansions on all sides of the market, and treasures from all directions were accumulated.
The Lantern Appreciation Festival is a great opportunity, with people guessing lantern riddles, hanging lanterns, lantern wheels, and lantern trees, and filling the city with fireworks, showing the prosperity of the dynasty.
In the brothel of the Jiaofang, there was singing and dancing, and the literati talked about poetry and lyrics; in the teahouses and restaurants, there was endless laughter, and the merchants and heroes boasted and guessed.
Even people like the Queen Mother who liked peace and quiet found it interesting to look at these mundane gadgets in the market with Tang San's arm in her arms.
"I want this!"
"purchase!"
"I want that!"
"purchase!"
After buying everyone a lot of gadgets, everyone's resentment towards him for being deliberately ugly was finally eliminated.
Fortunately, he swallowed sea shells, otherwise the poor monk wouldn't be able to use his three-headed and six-armed body to get these things?
"Brother Sanyan, let's go guess lantern riddles!"
Aowu was chewing on the candied haws in his mouth, pointing at the lantern riddles in the lantern market and mumbling.
"Then go and guess the lantern riddles and see how I kill everyone and win lanterns for you!"
“Let’s make an agreement first, you can take the lantern you win!”
"Tch, it's fun for us to guess!"
Qiyi Fairy's daughter led Aowu to one side, while Nishang and Mei Niang went to the other side, leaving only him and the Queen Mother where they were.
At this time, the bright moon rises, as bright as a jade plate. I remember that I used to fantasize about admiring the moon. Is there a lonely and beautiful fairy in the moon palace?
Now we have the Moon Palace Fairy and the Empress, and we have no regrets in life!
Holding the Queen Mother's hand, Tang Sanzong exclaimed happily: "May I be like a star, like the moon, and the light will shine brightly every night."
"No, that's too far. We will never be separated."
"Well, never be separated!"
"Come on, let me win you a lantern!"
He took the Queen Mother to a lantern, and saw a poem on it, "A piece of moon in Chang'an (guess the poem in the Book of Songs)".
The Queen Mother frowned and began to think. After a long while, she couldn't figure out the answer to the riddle, when she saw Tang Sanzhan looking at her with a smile.
"Baby, can you guess it?"
"Tell me quickly!"
"Haha, this answer suits you very well."
"Don't show off!" The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and pinched his waist.
"Okay, okay, I say!"
"This is a type of augmentation and loss in riddles, called riddle removal."
"What great-grandson is kicking and bringing wealth into the pavilion? Do you want to get rich? Brother Sanyan?"
But at some point, this silly guy carrying a lantern and holding a candied haws came running to him for help. He happened to hear his words and looked at him with a pair of clear and naive eyes.
Tang San was buried with his forehead supported.
"Ouch, don't make trouble!"
Tang Sanzun continued to explain, "Any word or phrase in the answer that has an increase or decrease in font shape, number of characters, or strokes is an increase or decrease."
"And the answer to the riddle with half of the first word removed is to remove the scarf grid."
Hearing someone's popular science riddle, people around him stopped to watch him solve the riddle.
"Chang'an was once the capital of the Qin Dynasty, and the moon refers to a crescent moon, shaped like an eyebrow."
"It can be concluded that the word Qin Shou Mo Mei is exactly the word Qin Shou Mo Mei, without the word "worm" in the first word of the answer."
"The hands are like catkins, the skin is like gelatin, the head is slender and the eyebrows are furrowed, the smile is charming, and the beautiful eyes are looking forward to it. Isn't it a baby?"
Upon being praised like this by him, the Queen Mother suddenly felt extremely happy and became shy in a rare way.
Although his face had changed, the amorous manner in his movements shocked everyone.
"Congratulations, sir, this lantern is yours!"
The clerk in charge took off the lantern and gave it to him, but the Queen Mother begged him to take it away, saying, "I want to keep this lantern well."
Seeing how happy she was, Tang Sanzong smiled and let her go.
Aowu raised the lantern and said, "I want it too!"
Taking over the whining lantern, it turned out to be the simplest riddle, "Winter is short, summer is long. It's warm with it, but it's cold without it."
Tang Sanzian asked: "Aww, what are you guessing?"
Aowu curled her lips and said, "I guessed it was Brother Sanzang, but that person was wrong!"
Tang Sanzian looked confused, I am not shoulder to shoulder with the sun, guess what I did?
"Why did you guess me?"
"I feel warm when I hold Brother Sannian in my arms, and I sleep soundly. And, and..."
Aowu secretly glanced at his thighs and muttered: "Brother Sanzang is already both long and short. I felt it last time!"
Tang Sanbian felt that if Aowu was by his side, even the Great Heavenly Lord would die young.
This wave, this wave uses magic to defeat Buddhism.
"This is the sun, sun, hurry up, hurry up!"
Tang San was buried with his face covered.
"Then what kind of body is this, Brother Sanzang?"
Wow, I have a strong thirst for knowledge!
Is this him a Mourning Body, only used to attract hatred? Didn’t you see that the Empress’s baby’s eyes wanted to stab someone?
