White tea legend

The wine glass fell to the table with a bang, and the wine spilled out.

The little maid on the side immediately came up to clean up the wine on the table for Empress Houtu, and gave Empress Houtu a new cup. It was a beautiful glass cup:

Crystal clear, reflecting colorful light, as bright as a gem.

The little maid refilled the glass cup with fairy dew. The fairy dew in the cup was clear and transparent, like rare pearls melting into mountain springs. Countless tiny stars shone under the colorful light of the glass cup.

In the mouth, it is as delicate and warm as jade, with a long aftertaste.

Empress Houtu picked up the glass cup, took a sip of the fairy dew, felt the fragrance on the tip of her tongue, calmed down, smiled at Prince Danzhu, and said: "Parrot tongue is not a specialty of Youdu. It is a bit difficult to find such ingredients. , please forgive me, His Royal Highness."

"You don't need to worry about Empress Hou Tu. I have a parrot tongue stored in the treasure pavilion in Youdu. Empress Hou Tu can just order someone to fetch it and cook it. I'll invite Empress Hou Tu and Yama of the Tenth Hall to share the delicacies. "

That parrot tongue is now in the cockatiel's mouth. Empress Houtu knew this secret, Jiuyou Sunu knew it, but Yama of the Tenth Palace did not know about it.

So they all handed over their hands to thank Prince Dan Zhu for his kindness.

Empress Houtu had no choice but to pretend to order her maid to pass Prince Danzhu's request to the Treasure Pavilion. She was nervous about how to solve this situation.

Not long after, Jiuyou Sunu came.

There were bandages on his head and face, and his sleeves were rolled up, revealing a pair of arms that were also covered with bandages.

Everyone on the left and right was shocked.

"What's going on?" Queen Houtu asked with concern.

"The plain girl is not as powerful as Empress Houtu and Yama of the Tenth Palace, but she was so burned by the flames of the sun. Even the Treasure Pavilion was unable to protect it. Many treasures were burned by the flames of the sun, including His Highness the Crown Prince. The parrot tongue stored in the Treasure Pavilion, because it was made of meat, had been roasted into a plume of thick smoke in the flames and floated away."

After hearing Jiuyou Sunu's reply, Prince Danzhu suddenly overturned the banquet: "That's a bunch of nonsense!"

Jiuyou Su Nu hurriedly knelt down: "The Su Nu did not do her best to protect her tongue. She failed to live up to His Highness the Crown Prince's trust. She is willing to be punished!"

"If you hand over your tongue now, I will spare you."

"Every word of the plain girl is true, but her tongue has been turned into ashes. The plain girl really can't hand it over. The plain girl is willing to be punished."

Seeing that Jiuyou Sunu was determined to bite her tongue to death and was ruined, Prince Danzhu was angry: "Well, if you lose my tongue, you can use your own tongue to compensate."

"Prince Danzhu!" Empress Houtu couldn't stand it anymore. Jiuyou Sunu is now the female ghost of Youdu and her subordinate. As the Lord of Youdu, how can she not protect her? If she can't even protect her subordinates, then she, the lord of Youdu, shouldn't take it for granted. If it spreads to the six realms, she will become a laughing stock.

"Speaking of it, Jiuyou Sunu is also an ancient deity from Nuwa Palace. Although she is a female ghost and deity in Youdu, she can be regarded as the elder of His Highness in terms of seniority. His Highness is so aggressive and inappropriate in both etiquette and reason. Give mercy to others and spare them.”

Empress Houtu was reasonable and sincere, but Prince Danzhu couldn't listen at all. He said disdainfully: "Empress Nuwa and Emperor Mu Deqing are missing now. How can you suppress me with Nuwa Palace? What's more, she is still being Empress Nuwa expelled her from the Nuwa Palace. A passing deity who was expelled by her master, but Empress Houtu took her in to work as a ghost in Youdu and take charge of important affairs. Is it appropriate?"

Prince Danzhu didn’t understand why Jiuyou Sunu left the Nuwa Palace, and he didn’t even know how to distinguish between Jiuyou Sunu and Jiutian Xuannv. Things that had been rumored in the Six Realms for hundreds of years had already changed, but they could be used to attack Queen Houtu, Prince Danzhu is not soft-spoken.

"What His Highness the Crown Prince said is absolutely true, Jiuyou Sunu, from now on, leave Youdu!"

As soon as Empress Houtu said this, Jiuyou Sunu was shocked, Yama of the Tenth Palace was shocked, and even Prince Danzhu and Immortal Ruiyu were also shocked.

"I wonder if Prince Danzhu is satisfied with the result of this treatment?"

Prince Danzhu did not look at Empress Houtu and pretended not to hear.

Empress Houtu and Jiuyou Sunu looked at each other. Although Jiuyou Sunu was reluctant to give up, she also knew that there was no other way.

So he thanked Empress Tu and said goodbye.

……

After leaving the banquet, Empress Houtu did not go to the main hall. She was supported by the maid and went back to her bedroom to rest. This crisis seemed to be resolved, but in fact it was a defeat. Empress Houtu felt tired and exhausted, so she could only go back to the bedroom to rest and relieve her mood.

Empress Houtu's bedroom is classical and elegant. It is the only place in the entire Youdu that is not so gloomy and has a bit of color.

On both sides of the door stood solemn immortal guards, holding ceremonial guards and looking solemn. The towering palace door behind the Immortal Guard is carved with exquisite patterns, either cloud patterns or mountains, symbolizing the vastness and fertility of the land.

Pushing the door open, you will find a spacious courtyard with a spring, cranes, flowers and trees, and lush greenery. In the center of the courtyard, a winding path leads to the main hall. Both sides of the path are planted with exotic flowers and plants. They sway in the breeze and emit bursts of fragrance.

Empress Houtu retreated from the maid and dragged her tired steps across the courtyard to the palace at the back. But the glazed tile roof of the palace is shining, and the surrounding walls are painted with vivid and delicate murals of landscapes, flowers and birds.

The layout of the hall is exquisite. There is an incense table in the hall. The throne behind the incense table is made of rare wood and gems, inlaid with pearls and emeralds, shining with a gentle and mysterious brilliance. Behind the throne hangs a huge screen, which depicts the mountains and rivers of the land of China, symbolizing Empress Houtu's protection and benevolence to this land.

Empress Houtu sat down on the throne. The soft light in the bedroom and the faint aura permeating the air relaxed her nerves.

A parrot with colorful feathers flew in from the window and landed on the incense table in front of Queen Houtu.

"We meet again." Queen Houtu said.

A stream of colorful cigarettes floated up, and the blackbird fell to the ground and turned into a young man. He saluted Queen Tu and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Queen Tu. I will repay you in the future."

"If you want to retaliate, just retaliate to Jiuyou Sunu. She can no longer stay in Youdu. Ever since she left Nuwa Palace, Youdu has become her second home. Now because of you, she has to leave Youdu. You I really owe her a favor..."

Empress Houtu glanced at the black cockatoo and changed her words: "I owe her a bird's love."

"Xuanfeng Parrot has taken note of Empress Houtu's instructions."

However, the cockatiel had no intention of leaving.

Empress Houtu was a little annoyed: "You should leave quickly before Prince Danzhu finds you, otherwise I won't be able to protect you in the end."

"Xiaoxian will leave after reporting the matter to the Queen Mother."

"What's the matter?"

"It's about King Kuafu."

After hearing her grandson's name, Queen Houtu cheered up.

"What's wrong with Kuafu?"

Xuanfeng Parrot then told Empress Houtu one by one about her encounter with Kuafu Mountain and Taolin: "The little fairy suspected that King Kuafu was no longer alive, so he wanted to look for the soul of King Kuafu in Youdu, but the little fairy had no power. It’s so meager that we can’t explore it, so we can only report the matter to Empress Houtu, and Empress Houtu will make the final decision.”

Empress Houtu was shocked when she heard this, and immediately activated the "Lingxi Finger" spell, which is an invisible connection that allows relatives to sense certain emotions or situations of each other even if they are thousands of miles apart.

However, after enabling it several times, Kuafu's presence cannot be sensed. Queen Houtu's heart sank. Could it be that her grandson was really dead? Even if he dies, he should still have his soul floating around in the underworld!

Just at this time, Lu Yu and Bai Cha came to pick up the Black Wind Parrot. Seeing that Queen Tu was worried, Bai Cha created a dream for her.

In that dream, Queen Houtu saw Kuafu chasing the sun in vain due to extreme thirst and fatigue, and finally fell on the edge of the swamp. His body turned into a mountain, and his hair turned into a forest, Trees grew beside the swamp and on the earth. Kuafu's sweat turned into rivers and lakes, but Kuafu's eyes rose from the earth, flew to the sky, and finally turned into two stars in the sky. , sometimes far, sometimes close, but always inseparable, chasing the sun.

When I woke up from the dream, Empress Houtu burst into tears.

The bedroom was quiet except for the cry of Empress Houtu, which was very sad and desolate.

Empress Houtu called her maid to ask about the whereabouts of Jiuyou Sunu and others. The maid replied: "They have all left Youdu."

Empress Houtu asked where Prince Danzhu was?

"Leaved too."

With an empty mood, Empress Houtu went for a walk in the yard with the help of her maid.

Youdu is shrouded in darkness all year round, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night.

Queen Houtu asked the maid: "Is it day or night up there?"

The maid replied: "It's night."

Then, Empress Houtu waved her sleeves, and the black mist belonging to Youdu above her head was blown away by the wind brought by her sleeves, revealing a small square patch of sky.

But on the blue sky, the twin stars are like two bright diamonds embedded in the boundless universe, reflecting each other with the starry Milky Way.

As the night gradually deepened, the twin stars gradually rose higher, and the starlight they emitted became brighter and brighter in the dark blue night. The surrounding stars seemed to be eclipsed, and only this pair of twin stars emitted everlasting light.

Empress Houtu held the maid's hand and stood in the courtyard of her palace, looking up at the night sky. Her eyes crossed the vast sea of ​​stars and settled on the pair of bright twin stars.

Tears rolled down from Queen Houtu's eyes.

Her silly grandson, his eyes want to follow the sun, but he doesn't know that from now on he will never be able to catch up with the sun:

One in the day, one in the night, one in the light and one in the dark. Maybe what he is pursuing is not the light itself, but just the journey of chasing the light. Although it is hard, it is also exciting.

Empress Houtu sent her deep blessings to the pair of stars in the sky.

……

Lu Yu, Bai Cha, Blackbird and Cat were in a group, and A Bao, Yuan Xiang, and Chai Zi were in a group. The two groups left Youdu together with Jiuyou Sunu.

In the vast six realms, where are they going to settle?

Bai Cha originally planned to go back to Hongxue Cave in Stone Mountain, because Lan Gu had gifted that cave to her. As a Cha who has a home in the Six Realms, she should go back to protect her home, but as the owner of the Black Wind Parrot, She also had to accompany the cockatiel for a ride.

Empress Houtu said that the Xuanfeng Parrot owed Jiuyou Sunu a bird's love, and the Xuanfeng Parrot had to repay this bird's love.

Now that Jiuyou Sunu has left Youdu, she must go find Jiutian Xuannv.

The cockatoo wanted to repay his kindness, so he accompanied him to find it.

As the owner of the blackbird, Bai Cha had to accompany him to find it.

And the cat naturally follows the white tea.

Lu Yu also had to accompany Bai Cha.

Yuanxiang and Chaizi accompanied Bao Changshang, and Bao Changshang accompanied Jiuyou Sunu.

So the two groups of people gathered into one group, and the team became a bit vast. There were several people in the group, handsome men and beautiful women, with pets, and one injured and bandaged. It was difficult not to attract attention.

Jiutian Xuannv is the God of War, so she naturally wants to go to the place where the war occurs. Although dangerous, they are gods, not mortals, afraid of birds.

A group of people set out from Youdu and inquired about where there was war. They were inevitably confused and disgusted by people, and were beaten as "war madmen".

You can't fight, you can't escape.

On this day, a group of people passed through a town and asked where there was a war. They were chased by a group of peace-loving people with carrying poles and brooms through eight villages for ten miles. They finally escaped and sat down on a hillside to rest panting.

It has been more than a month since she left Youdu. The burns on Jiuyou Sunu's body have all scabbed and are no longer wrapped in bandages. The exposed skin is shocking. In addition, she has lived in Youdu for hundreds of years and is very sensitive to light. What should she do without a bandage to block the light?

Manager Bao thoughtfully made a curtain hat for her. The curtain was made of thin bamboo and covered with black gauze as a curtain. The curtain hung down to her ankles, covering her entire body, including her face and body.

The mountain breeze blew by, and the curtains on the Nine Nether Pure Girl's hat swayed lightly in the wind together with the willow trees on the hillside. They were mysterious and elegant, making the fairies look envious.

Cha was envious, but she was too embarrassed to ask Executive Director Bao to ask the majestic Deputy Medical God of Heaven to make a curtain hat for her.

Neither Yuan Xiang nor Chai Zi dared to ask for it. How could she prepare herbal essence?

"Follow me!" Lu Yu patted Bai Cha on the shoulder, pulled Bai Cha up from the hillside, and walked towards the top of the mountain.

"Where are you going?" Abao asked.

"Go and help Jiuyou Sunu find some herbs to remove scars," Lu Yu said without looking back, "Don't follow me."

"Meow." The cat retracted her outstretched foot and lay down at the cockatoo's feet.

Lu Yu and Bai Cha's figures had disappeared into the forest and were out of sight.

When the two of them turned around, they could no longer see the figures of the gods on the hillside.

Bai Cha lowered his head and was already looking for medicinal herbs in the dense forest: "My dear queen, there are still scars on her face. The scar removal creams we made before can only lighten the scars, but cannot completely remove them. Herbs that can completely remove scars are hard to find!"

Just as Bai Cha was talking, his eyes suddenly dimmed.

Bai Cha looked up and saw that a snow-white curtained hat had been put on his head.

Bai Cha opened the curtain in surprise and looked at the immortal in white. The immortal was standing there pretending to be nonchalant, but actually waiting for her praise.

"Thank you, the miracle doctor..."

Just as she said thank you for white tea, a heavy object suddenly hit her and Lu Yu, shocking her.

It's actually a person.
