Chapter 112 What? You want me to be a matchmaker?! Become the godfather of the Ten Golden Crows?! No, brother?
It must be said that although outsiders joined the banquet, the atmosphere of the banquet did not decrease but became even more lively due to the deliberate flattery of the demon clan's high-level officials.
Even Guangchengzi, Sanxiao, Zhao Gongming and other newly-minted disciples, were so impressed by the high-ranking officials of the demon clan who kept calling them "heroes", "good disciples" and "virtuous nephews" that they all fell in love with them and even became a little proud!
Tai Shang, Yuanshi and Tongtian did not stop it when they saw this... The disciples' character is still not good enough, so it would be a good thing for them to taste more sugar-coated bullets!
As for Xiao Lin... Haha, he was familiar with mythology and history, so he would not be fooled! He knew that none of the monsters present were easy to deal with!
After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes... Tai Shang put down his wine glass and faced the Demon Emperor beside him.
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor is not here to celebrate for my disciples... With such a large scale, I think there must be something important."
As soon as the words came out, under the control of Tai Shang, they penetrated deeply into the sea of consciousness of all the disciples... The disciples who had just been flattered suddenly woke up, and their pride, which had been blown into the air by the praise, instantly fell!
Only then did they remember that even the Three Pure Ones had to be called fellow Taoists and addressed as "Your Majesty's people". How could this be a sincere compliment to them?
Seeing this, Di Jun smiled slightly, and was not angry: "The method taught by the Taoist Master Taishang is really brilliant. You are worthy of being the master of the human religion who is in charge of educating living beings!"
"Your Majesty praised it."
The Supreme Master was unmoved and continued to address him as Your Majesty, not as a fellow Taoist: "Please tell me what you want, Your Majesty. Otherwise, I won't be able to enjoy this wine."
"Alas, fellow Daoist, you are too defensive against me."
Emperor Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly, while the Supreme Lord smiled, unmoved… Seeing this, Emperor Jun gave up the idea of winning him over, straightened his face, and replied, “I came here this time for my nephew Xiao Lin.”
"Huh? Me?"
[What the hell? Even if I were promoted to Taiyi Jinxian now, I would be at most a mid-level general in your demon clan, not even a guardian... You, the Demon Emperor, can you blame me for something? ]
"Yes," Di Jun confirmed again, "I came here for the magic treasure in your hand."
"Lingbao?"
Xiao Lin subconsciously searched for treasures in his sea of consciousness: [The Dragon Slaying Sword was given by Emperor Jun; the Nine Palace Cauldron and the Four Symbols Talisman are both treasures for refining weapons and setting up formations. There is no telling how many monsters there are, so it is impossible for Emperor Jun to take a fancy to them...]
[The Immortal Slaying Gourd and the Dinghai Pearl were also given by the Demon Emperor... Huh? I actually have several spiritual treasures that were given to me by the demon tribe.]
[Wait, red hydrangea? Di Jun is looking for me, isn't it because of the red hydrangea? ]
[In addition to being able to hit people, the biggest function of the red hydrangea is to gain merit, set up a third marriage, and set ethics... The third marriage is the heavenly marriage of Emperor Jun, Xihe, etc., heavenly marriage?! ]
[Di Jun, do you want to get married? ]
Just as Xiao Lin was thinking of this, Di Jun's answer was exactly what he expected.
"It is the magic treasure bestowed upon my nephew by the goddess Nuwa, the red hydrangea!"
"We are fellow Taoists who have fought together before. I am not afraid to tell you three," Di Jun said with a sigh, "Ten thousand years later, the witches and demons will have a great war to seize the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth. Although Hou Tu has achieved the truth and is no longer a witch, according to the latest information, the thirteenth ancestor of the witch clan, Wu Chi You, has successfully advanced."
"That is to say, when the battle comes, Pangu's true body will definitely appear!"
"By then, the three Taoist friends will have already established their own sects... Like Nuwa and Pingxin, they will definitely not participate in this war. In order to prevent the Wu Clan from jumping down for abuse, our demon clan must have a way to resist Pangu's true body."
"Some time ago, I traveled through the starry sky and found this formation deep in the starry sky..."
As he spoke, Di Jun pointed his finger in front of him, and a huge battle formation diagram appeared in front of everyone.
[The Great Zhoutian Xingdou Formation? Wasn’t this formation something that Emperor Jun realized by observing the starry sky and using the River Map and Luoshu? Was it a formation diagram that he got from the starry sky?]
"This formation is called the Great Zhoutian Star Formation. It can draw the power of the stars to attack the enemy. It is extremely powerful... But there is a condition. To activate this formation, you must have three main stars, namely the Sun Star, the Moon Star, and the Purple Star..."
"The three stars also represent yang, yin, and the fusion of yin and yang! Taiyi and I were born on the Sun Star and control the power of yang; Taiyin Star Lord Xihe and Changxi were born on the Moon Star and control the power of yin... Ziwei Star is not controlled by anyone yet. According to Emperor Xi's calculations, it will be controlled by the offspring born after my brother and I combine with Taiyin Star Lord and Moon God."
"I once visited Nuwa at the Wa Palace and asked her to grant me a marriage... She told me that the red ball is in the hands of my nephew Xiao Lin, and if I want to find a spouse, I need his help. So, I came here today to ask for help!"
(PS: Here, I follow the setting of the Honghuang style and change Xihe to Taiyin Xingjun. According to mythological history, Xihe should be the goddess of the sun. Well, readers, please don’t find fault with me!)
[Yes, it is true! ]
[No, when I asked for the red hydrangea, I did want to gain merit from the three marriages of heaven, earth and man... But I only wanted to gain merit, not to be a matchmaker! ]
[Besides, with my status, am I qualified to propose to the Demon Emperor? My Lady, you are throwing the blame too hard! ]
"Uncle, I would like to borrow the red hydrangea to propose to you temporarily!"
Without even a second thought, Xiao Lin offered the red ball and was about to hand it over to Di Jun: [No interference, absolutely no interference!]
[I won't get involved in anything related to the demon clan! Moreover, in the future, your child, the Ten Golden Crows, will be plotted against by the saints and die tragically at the hands of the witch clan's great wizard Hou Yi, and a war between wizards and demons will begin... I won't get involved! ]
The spiritual treasures in the arms of Sanqing and Nuwa were shaking wildly, and the voice of Houtu came through their spiritual consciousness!
Pingxin: Fellow Taoists Sanqing, I don’t ask you to save my Wu clan, I just hope that my Wu clan will not be plotted against by others!
Because of the dangers of the Wu Clan and other special factors, Pingxin has never closed the Lingbao since joining the Xinsheng Alliance! Hearing this Xinsheng, he immediately activated the Lingbao and asked for help from the Three Pure Ones!
Nuwa: Hmm? What happened?
Pingxin: Sister, please look...
Nuwa: We can help! The more the enemy wants, the more we must stop them! Even if the Lich has to fight, we must not let Hongjun and Tiandao plot against us!
Tai Shang: Good!
The people from the Xinsheng Alliance were talking, and on the other side, Di Jun was silent for a moment, and then he was about to take the Lingbao red hydrangea.
"Thank you very much, nephew Xiao Lin... Don't worry, if the marriage is successful, Uncle Gongde will definitely compensate you..."
But just as Di Jun was about to take the red ball, a hand blocked him.
"Hmm? Taoist Grand Master?"
Di Jun was stunned and looked at Tai Shang in surprise... Could it be that Tai Shang was reluctant to give up the merits of the heavenly marriage?
But even if Xiao Lin had condensed the Golden Wheel of Merit, the merit of Heavenly Marriage was at most just icing on the cake. How could it be as useful as the spiritual treasure?
"The spiritual treasure was given by the goddess Nuwa. Even if my disciple dares to borrow it, the merits contained in the red hydrangea are the grace of the goddess in repaying the Tao... Fellow Daoist Di Jun, are you sure you want to take it? And are you sure you can pay it back?"
In order to ensure the success of the plan, Tai Shang even changed the address from Your Majesty to Fellow Daoist.
Di Jun was silent... What the hell! He hadn't even repaid him and Taiyi for their kindness, didn't he see him giving away treasures whenever he got the chance?
If he takes the red hydrangea away again... then he will owe the karma of Xiao Lin and Nuwa!
"Ahem, what the Taoist Taishang said is right. This treasure was given by the Empress. It is indeed inappropriate for me to take it away."
Di Jun nodded, then looked at Xiao Lin earnestly and said, "Nephew Xiao Lin, for the sake of my uncle, for the sake of the demon race, and even for all living beings, please do me a favor!"
"Ah? No, Master, I think the Queen has given it to me... It's okay for me to lend it to Uncle Shi temporarily..."
[Don't look for me! I really don't want to have anything to do with you demons! ]
"no!"
Tai Shang refused directly: "How dare you give your Majesty's kindness to others? Besides, you must help with this matter!"
"Have you forgotten the kindness you showed me in Zixiao Palace? Do you want to be an ungrateful person?"
After teaching Xiao Lin a lesson, the Supreme looked at the confused Di Jun... No, we still owe the Yin Dao karma, how can a mere cleansing of the essence and marrow repay it? Didn't you see that the innate spiritual treasure of Dinghaizhu that I gave him was not enough?
However, Tai Shang ignored him and just tried to fool Xiao Lin.
"Fellow Daoist Di Jun, my disciple will definitely help you with this matter, but I also want to ask him for a promise!" "What promise?"
What promise?
Di Jun and Xiao Lin couldn't understand Tai Shang's actions at all...
"That means that if you and Taiyin Xingjun give birth to a child, you must acknowledge Xiao Lin as your brother! The kind that you should pay formal respect to him!"
The Supreme One said firmly: "If you agree, from engagement to marriage to childbirth, my disciple will stay in Heaven until you recognize your parents!"
"no!"
"Great!"
Xiao Lin and Di Jun answered in unison, that's the answer, completely different!
"No, Master." Xiao Lin didn't care about Di Jun's emotions and grabbed Tai Shang's sleeve and refused to let go. "I have been in seclusion for three thousand years. It has been a long time since I accompanied my fellow disciples... The Three Pure Ones still need me, the chief disciple, to manage them. They can't live without me!"
[No, I don’t want to leave Shouyang Mountain! And I don’t want to go to the demon tribe! It will really kill people!]
"No need. Shushan still needs to develop, the Chan Sect needs to establish the Heavenly Law, and the Nether Sect needs to stay in the underworld... The three sects are too busy to handle it all, and we don't need you to mess things up!"
"Well, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I want to spend more time with you."
"No need! My mind is wandering in the void, comprehending the great Dao. I don't have time to play with you!"
"Then I..."
"Needless to say, for the sake of future development, for the perfection of humanity, for the great wilderness... Heaven, you must go there!"
Tai Shang answered mercilessly...Di Jun looked at Tai Shang to the left, then to Xiao Lin to the right, his face completely confused, not understanding what riddle they were talking about.
But he knew one thing: Xiao Lin's going to Heaven would only bring good things to the demon race!
Look at Nuwa. After coming into contact with Xiao Lin, she created humans and attained enlightenment. Hou Tu, after receiving Xiao Lin's guidance, also attained enlightenment. The Three Pure Ones also attained enlightenment, and they were the kind that occupied the three powers of heaven, earth, and man...
Even himself and Taiyi only changed to the path of the seven emotions and six desires after Xiao Lin’s reminder... This kid is a lucky star!
"Don't worry, nephew. I won't treat you badly if you come to my demon clan!"
Patting his chest, Di Jun promised in person: "You can eat as much of the immortal fruit in heaven as you want, and any fairy you like will be your maid... Even if I have a child in the future, he will have to call you brother, and you can hit him as you like!"
"If you give birth to a girl, I will marry you and then our relationship will be closer!"
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes secretly: [Only a devil would want to marry your demon child... Do I think I am not dying fast enough? ]
【Master, I really don’t want to go. 】
Thinking of the brutality of the war between the wizards and the liches, Xiao Lin looked at his master pleadingly...but Tai Shang's unresponsive look made him feel chilled.
[Master, I am no longer your favorite child. ]
Seeing that Tai Shang had made the decision, Di Jun looked at him eagerly again... Xiao Lin had no choice but to accept it.
"Okay, then I'll trouble your Majesty the Demon Emperor for the rest of the time."
[Wow, my happy and safe time is gone! ~]
"Your Majesty, Uncle!"
Di Jun pretended to be embarrassed and patted Xiao Lin on the shoulder. Without waiting for his reply, he picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Tai Shang's. "Thank you very much, fellow Taoist! I toast to you!"
"As a friend, I should help you! Please!"
"please!"
The banquet continued, and the air was once again filled with a cheerful atmosphere... The only one injured was Xiao Lin...
-
Three days later, on the top of Shouyang Mountain... Xiao Lin stood beside Di Jun, looking at Taishang, Yuanshi, and Tongtian not far away...
"Master, two uncles, I can't bear to leave you!"
[Woo woo! The demon tribe is too dangerous, I don’t want to leave you, my big brothers! ]
"Don't act like a child... If you are fast enough, you can come back in five thousand years at most. Five thousand years is just a blink of an eye for us cultivators!"
[Listen to what you are saying, old man! Five thousand years... I am not even 20,000 years old, okay!]
"Master, I can't bear to leave you..."
"Alright, stop being childish and follow Fellow Daoist Di Jun!"
The Supreme waved his sleeves, and Xiao Lin's body involuntarily went to the Nine Dragon Agarwood Chariot...
After Xiao Lin disappeared, Taishang looked at Di Jun and said meaningfully, "Daoyou Di Jun, my disciple has gone to the demon tribe, you must take good care of him!"
"He has always been a detached person, often doing things and saying things that seem out of place... but every time, he can give us three brothers some extraordinary insights. The two ladies also gained enlightenment because of this."
"He has a deep fortune, so you have to understand some of his words and actions!"
Since Fuxi joined the demon tribe and entered the upper echelons... Whether it was the Three Pure Ones or Pingxin who joined later, they were firmly opposed to opening Fuxi's voice again! Therefore, Taishang could only give Dijun some hints, hoping that he could avoid the calculations of Hongjun and even the Heavenly Dao.
Di Jun was stunned for a moment, looking at the mysterious Taishang... His heart moved, and he immediately assured: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist, Xiao Lin will not be discriminated against in my Heavenly Court!"
"His status is only slightly lower than the six of us!"
"No, no, no! What I mean is that even you have to think more sometimes about whether to listen to Xiao Lin's advice... or think about the hidden meaning in his words!"
Tai Shang nodded again... and then, without waiting for Di Jun to answer, he bowed and said goodbye.
"Take care, fellow Taoist. We'll meet again in the future!"
"Thank you for your hospitality, my three fellow Taoists... We will take our leave now."
Di Jun bowed in return, and then boarded the chariot thoughtfully...
"Yan!"
With the sound of dragon roars, the nine dragons started to move, pulling the sandalwood chariot through the air... On Mount Shouyang, the Three Pure Ones looked at the chariot gradually disappearing...
"Brother, do you think Di Jun understands?"
Tongtian asked curiously...
The Supreme was silent until the Nine Dragon Agarwood Chariot completely disappeared, then he answered: "We have done the best we can... Next, it all depends on their own luck..."
"Yeah, it all depends on their own luck."
Yuanshi also sighed... The ancient world has always been full of dangers!
