White tea legend

Chapter 251 A flash in the pan, just for Wei Tuo
Yishan Island is surrounded by green mountains and grasslands that spread like blue waves. The grass is lush and green, swaying in the wind. The distant mountains are dark and the nearby trees are lush, forming a vivid landscape painting.

The clouds rolling in the sky contrast beautifully with the distant horizon.

The grassland was dotted with wild flowers and fluttering bees and butterflies. Lu Yu and Bai Cha were strolling there. Bai Cha was already pregnant and her figure and face looked like a pregnant woman.

Suddenly, a green light descended from the sky onto the grassland and transformed into a graceful fairy figure.

It’s Bixia Yuanjun.

Bixia Yuanjun walked lightly to Lu Yubaicha and touched Baicha's belly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've grown so big."

"Bixia Yuanjun, how are you these days?"

Lu Yu and Bai Cha hurriedly greeted Bixia Yuanjun with a smile.

"Good, very good, very happy."

Bixia Yuanjun stretched out a hand as if offering a treasure, and a green light flashed on her palm, and then a booklet appeared.

"Here, a gift for you and your wife."

"what?"

Bai Cha took the booklet and was about to flip through it when he was stopped by Bixia Yuanjun.

"This is a generous gift from Zixiao Tianqiong Divine Lord, the Chief of the Nine Heavens Supervisory Department. The booklet records the recent situation of the gods and stars in the sky who are about to come down to earth to experience tribulations. You and your wife should carefully choose one to be your child, and pass on your tea business and carry it forward!"

As Bixia Yuanjun spoke, she turned into a ray of light and flew away.

Lu Yu and Bai Cha were both curious about the booklet. They did not expect Bixia Yuanjun to be so thoughtful. So the couple sat on the grass and started reading it.

The cover of the booklet was wrapped in sky blue satin, embroidered with golden stars and a silver moon. Every page exuded a faint heavenly fragrance, as if it also carried the coolness of the fairyland.

The name of this booklet is "Records of Star Tribulations", which records the recent situations of the gods and stars in heaven who are about to descend to earth to experience tribulations:

Lu Yu and Bai Cha turned the pages one by one, and the first person that caught their eyes was Yu Heng Xingjun, one of the Big Dipper. He lost a chess bet with Nan Dou Xingjun, and in a fit of rage, he overturned the chessboard, causing a village on earth to suffer an unexpected disaster. In order to make up for his mistake, Yu Heng Xingjun was forced to descend to the mortal world to experience disasters and become a village doctor. He not only had to learn how to cure diseases and save lives, but also had to help villagers rebuild their homes.

Reading further, it is about the story of the Weaver Girl. Because she secretly went down to the mortal world to meet the Cowherd, she violated the rules of heaven and was punished to go down to the mortal world to experience the bitterness of the world. She will be reincarnated as a talented female embroiderer, but her fate is unfortunate. Not only will she have to face the hardships of life, but she will also have to deal with all kinds of worldly prejudices and criticisms.

Turning to another page, there is an even more absurd and bizarre content. Taibai Jinxing was demoted to the mortal world to be punished for his drunken nonsense and accidentally leaking the secrets of heaven. He will be transformed into a quack and wander around, shocking the world with his extraordinary predictive ability wherever he goes. However, everything he predicted eventually came true in an extremely absurd way, making people laugh and cry.

In addition, there is the couple Lei Gong and Dian Mu. Because of a mistake in casting a spell, a drizzle turned into a downpour, flooding a city. For this, they will be punished to go down to earth as an ordinary peasant couple, facing the challenges of natural disasters such as drought and floods together, and experiencing the difficulties of the world.

The most ridiculous thing is about the barefoot immortal. After he was discovered stealing peaches, he had to go to the human world to be a vagrant for a while, wandering around, and wherever he went, he would please others with his weird magical powers.

"Sir, who do you think we should choose as our child?" Bai Cha asked.

"Madam, you decide." Lu Yu gave Bai Cha a smile.

The couple continued to flip through the booklet. Suddenly, a star sparkled in the booklet and flew out of the booklet and flew to Bai Cha and Lu Yu.

"who are you?"

"Yu Ming."

Who is Yu Ming?
Let’s start with a night-blooming cereus.

I don’t know how many years ago, the Epiphyllum did not bloom only once a year, but only on summer nights, for only three or two hours, and withered before dawn, hence the name "Epiphyllum a flash in the pan".

At that time, Epiphyllum was a flower god in heaven. It bloomed every day and was brilliant all year round.

The Emperor of Heaven sent Wei Hu, who had just entered the Heavenly Palace as a deity, to be specifically responsible for the care of the Epiphyllum Fairy.

Who is this Wei Hu?

Jiang Ziya helped King Wu of Zhou defeat King Zhou of Shang and establish Xiqi, and Wei Hu participated in various battles. However, Wei Hu's performance on the battlefield was not as dazzling as other heroes. In the Conferred Gods War, Wei Hu played more of a team role. His steadiness and low-keyness provided a solid backing for the team. Wei Hu's name was not on the Conferred God List, but after the Conferred Gods War, Wei Hu became one of the seven flesh-and-blood saints.

Different paths lead to the same destination. Although he could not be included in the Conferred God List, Wei Hu, who still ascended to heaven, worked day and night to concentrate on the care of plants. At dawn, he got up from the cloud bed and inspected the Jade Garden of Yaotai, carefully examining every flower and every blade of grass. When he saw a flower withering, he gently stroked its petals, whispered to it, moistened it with fairy dew, and awakened its vitality with sincerity.

In spring, summer, autumn and winter, regardless of the extreme heat or cold, Wei Hu always sticks to his post and never slacks off. He applies fertilizer according to the season to keep the soil fertile; he prunes branches to make the flowers and trees flourish and orderly. His hands are like spring breeze and rain, making the garden of heaven spring-like all year round and the flowers bloom all year round.

The Epiphyllum Fairy blooms every day. Her beauty and fragrance attract the attention of the entire heaven and also captivate Wei Hu.

Wei Hu has remained a virgin for thousands of years, masculine and handsome.

As they spent time together day after day, Wei Hu and Epiphyllum Fairy quietly developed feelings for each other. Wei Hu watered and fertilized the Epiphyllum every day, listened attentively to her words, and felt her joys and sorrows. Epiphyllum Fairy also gradually got used to Wei Hu's company, and his gentleness and care made her feel unprecedented peace of mind.

As time went by, the affection between the two grew stronger. Whenever night fell, Wei Hu would sit beside the Epiphyllum and gently play the guqin for her. The melodious melody intertwined with the fragrance of the Epiphyllum was like the most touching love song between heaven and earth.

However, love between immortals is forbidden. This is the rule that the heaven has always followed. Even flirting is not allowed. Therefore, male and female immortals develop their relationships secretly. If they want to be open and aboveboard, they have to go to the human world like Lu Yu and Bai Cha and stop being immortals.

Wei Hu not only won the heart of the Epiphyllum Fairy, but all the flowers and plants in the heavenly realm also admired Wei Hu, who took care of them. But now Wei Hu's heart only belongs to the Epiphyllum Fairy, so he was envied by everyone.

I don't know which nosy person brought this matter to the attention of the Emperor of Heaven.

The laws of heaven cannot be challenged, and the Heavenly Sovereign issued a holy order to punish the two gods:
First, the Epiphyllum Fairy was banished to the mortal world.

One day in heaven and one year on earth.

The Epiphyllum Fairy's ability to bloom every day has been reduced to blooming once a year in the human world. The Heavenly Lord has made the Epiphyllum Fairy bloom only at midnight, and the process from blooming to withering is only a moment. At midnight, when mortals are asleep, fewer people see the Epiphyllum bloom.

If no one sees it, no matter how gorgeous the blooming process is, it will only be admired by itself, and the Epiphyllum Fairy will no longer have any admirers.

The flower-growing Wei Hu was sent to the West by the Heavenly Emperor and became a disciple of the Buddha Dipankara. He shaved his hair and became the monk Weituo. This not only made him bald and no longer handsome, but also made him forget his relationship with the Epiphyllum Fairy.

Under the careful training of the Buddha Dipankara, Monk Weituo became a great guardian deity of Buddhism and had long forgotten the goddess of flowers, Epiphyllum.

But the Epiphyllum Fairy could not forget Wei Tuo.

As the saying goes, if a man is addicted, he can still escape from it, but if a woman is addicted, she cannot escape from it.

The Epiphyllum Fairy searched the world for her lover Wei Hu. Her efforts paid off. She finally learned that Wei Hu was practicing in Lingshan and had become a monk with the Buddhist name: Wei Tuo.

Every late spring, Wei Tuo would go down the mountain to collect flower dew for the Buddha. So the night-blooming cereus came to the place where Wei Tuo passed by and tried hard to bloom, hoping to evoke Wei Hu's memories and finally get married to her.

Wei Tuo went down the mountain every year, passed by the Epiphyllum Fairy every year, and saw the Epiphyllum blooming every year, but he could never recognize the Epiphyllum Fairy.

Over hundreds of years, the Epiphyllum has used up the essence of its life to bloom hundreds of times, but it has never brought Wei Tuo back once, nor has it evoked any of his memories.

One day, a young Yin-Yang master passed by and saw the flower goddess blooming in melancholy. He asked the flower goddess why, but the flower goddess replied impatiently: "You can't help me."

Thirty years later, when the Yin-Yang Master was fifty years old, he passed by the Flower God and asked the same question. The Flower God still answered him impatiently: "You can't help me."

Fifty years passed, and the Yin-Yang Master was a hundred years old. He had changed from a young Taoist priest to a white-haired old man. He passed by the Flower God for the third time and asked the same question. Although the Flower God was impatient this time, he still told the story of his past and present lives with Wei Tuo.

The Yin Yang Master smiled and said, "You should have told me earlier. I am here to end your marriage."

So, holding the hand of the flower fairy, he chanted the spell: "Fate comes and goes, fate ends, flowers bloom and fall, flowers return to dust, the short-lived flower is Wei Tuo, what's wrong with this kind of relationship? I will take the punishment from heaven and earth, I will open the eyes of the sky..."

With the help of the Yin-Yang master, the Epiphyllum Fairy went to Lingshan and met Wei Tuo. Wei Tuo finally remembered the Epiphyllum and their love in the previous life.

The Epiphyllum Fairy and Wei Tuo hugged each other and cried bitterly, which moved all the Bodhisattvas in Lingshan.

The Buddha allowed Wei Tuo to follow the Epiphyllum Fairy down the mountain to continue their previous relationship.

Because he helped Wei Tuo and Epiphyllum Fairy to get married, Yin Yang Master completed his merits and ascended to become an immortal. However, when he arrived in Heaven, the Emperor of Heaven did not like this new god.

Because he broke the heavenly punishment inflicted by the Heavenly Emperor on Wei Tuo and Epiphyllum Fairy, which made the Heavenly Emperor lose face, this Yin-Yang master had just ascended to become an immortal when he was banished by the Heavenly Emperor and punished to go to the lower world to endure the tribulation.

This Yin-Yang Master is Yu Ming.

The wonderful relationship between Yu Mingshi, Epiphyllum Fairy and Wei Tuo has also led to an anecdote circulating in the world: Wei Tuo has the final say on whether the temple provides food or not.

The "free meals" here do not refer to ordinary people, but to the monks who live in the temple.

For wandering monks, they often need to look for a place to stay. Whenever they come to a new temple, they will first pay attention to the statue of Weituo Bodhisattva in the temple.

When helping Xiqi fight against King Zhou of Shang, Wei Hu had an extremely powerful magic weapon - the Demon-Subduing Pestle. This magic weapon was as light as grass ash, but once it was struck, it was as heavy as Mount Tai and had great destructive power.

In the Conferred Gods War, Wei Hu made many military achievements with his Demon-Subduing Pestle:
When he went down the mountain to seek refuge with his uncle Jiang Ziya, he killed Yang Wenhui, a disciple of Lu Yue.
At Tongguan, Yu Da, the son of Yu Hualong, the defending general, was killed;

In Mianchi County, he killed Zhang Kui, who was skilled in earth-walking magic. In the battle against Zhang Kui, he smashed Zhang Kui into powder with one blow of his demon-subduing pestle.

He also fought against Yuan Hong, the leader of the Seven Monsters of Meishan, and his mount in Mengjin;

Finally, he personally captured the nine-tailed fox demon Su Daji, the nine-headed pheasant demon, and the jade pipa demon;
He has successfully fought against Luo Xuan, Kong Xuan, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, Lu Yue and other disciples of the Jiejiao, and is the only young general of Xiqi who has not been captured alive. He is known as the first Quanzhen person among the three religions and has always maintained a Yuanyang body.

The Demon-Subduing Pestle played a key role in Wei Hu's fighting career in Xiqi.

Wei Hu ascended to heaven and became a disciple of the Buddha Dipankara in the West, and became Weituo Bodhisattva. In the temples on earth, the demon-subduing pestle in his hand played a key role: it silently conveyed the information of whether the temple provided food and accommodation.

If the pestle is on the ground, it means that the temple is small and cannot provide food and accommodation.
If the pestle is held by Skanda Bodhisattva in both hands, it means that the temple can provide food but not accommodation;
If the pestle is carried on the shoulders, it means that the temple provides both food and accommodation, and wandering monks can stay here with peace of mind.

In some large temples, they not only provided meals but also provided accommodation for wandering monks. In these temples, the demon-subduing pestle of Skanda Bodhisattva was usually carried on his shoulders, which indicates that the temples provided both food and accommodation.

In this world where food is the most important thing for people, people are more concerned about the location of the demon-subduing pestle in the hands of Bodhisattva Weituo. Few people remember his earth-shattering love story with the Epiphyllum Fairy. In the end, it was Yu Ming who took on everything.

……

Lu Yu and Bai Cha looked at the star named Yu Ming, which was flashing in front of them and shaking its body frequently. They looked at each other and said in unison, "Let's pick him!"

……

One day, at the top of Mount Taimu, in the Baiyuan mansion, the cockatoo was still making tea out of boredom when he heard someone knocking on the door.

Xuanfeng was bored, so he told the ten disciples to make tea well and not to be lazy, and then he went to open the door.

A couple was standing outside the door, holding a three-year-old child.

The three-year-old boy had eyes as clear as autumn water and a face as round as an apple. He wore a brocade jacket embroidered with a unicorn and cloud-shaped shoes. His black hair gently hung down in front of his forehead, which was very cute.

Xuanfeng didn't know who the kid was, and almost didn't recognize who the couple was.

"Xuanfeng, are you stupid?" Until Bai Cha spoke.

Xuan Feng screamed excitedly: "Sister, brother-in-law, you are finally back?"
