Chapter 9 Raising a Glass to Invite the Bright Moon
She dreamed that the dead tree was shining with light all over her body, and she became more and more curious. She stepped forward to tease him, but was stopped by Yifeng with a smile, "We are far away from each other. It is fate that we can meet here today. Why don't we all get drunk together?"
.”
"Okay, okay! You can rest after getting drunk! Hurry up! Chongchong, turn into some wine cups and bring them out!" Xi Meng shook the pear blossom wine in his hand and urged Yi Feng.
"The moonlight is very beautiful tonight, why not go to the clouds and enjoy the moonlight while drinking!" As Yifeng spoke, she flew into the sky with Ximengyufeng, and Mu Zili followed closely behind.
He suddenly flew up, and he was so frightened that it seemed like an octopus was wrapped around him in a dream, fearing that he would fall from the air if he moved even a little bit.
"Sure enough, the moonlight is like water. I have to get very drunk tonight to live up to the Moon Palace Fairy's kindness. Haha!"
Xi Meng was originally a little afraid of heights and did not dare to look around, but now she was infected by the hearty laughter of the dead tree next to her.
Slowly looking up, I saw the bright moonlight shining softly on the clouds, which made my heart feel warm beyond words.
As the saying goes, raise a glass to invite the bright moon and form three people facing each other.
Among the clouds, Shi Meng and Yi Feng were sitting cross-legged, but a piece of dead elm tree lay between them, and the dead branches above their heads were swaying in the wind. This scene seemed a bit funny to Shi Meng.
The pure fragrant and delicious pear blossoms filled the belly, and the green light shone all over the dead elm tree. Xi Meng tried to pull the dead branch on his "head" several times, but was stopped by Yifeng.
Finally, unable to withstand Ximeng's pleas, Mu Zili had to explain why he was trapped by the elm tree.
The story originally happened in Departure a hundred years ago.
It is said that at the end of the day, after Mu Zili had sunbathed, he leaned under an ancient elm tree and closed his eyes to rest.
Unexpectedly, this day happened to be the time when the old elm tree was in the process of becoming immortal, and the earth-shattering thunder burned the elm tree beyond recognition, making it extremely miserable.
Poor Mu Zili just leaned on the old elm tree and took a nap, but was knocked unconscious by a dead elm tree falling from the sky.
It was several days later when he woke up again.
At that time, the old elm tree failed in the heavenly calamity and lost its soul. Unfortunately, its trunk was also destroyed by the thunder, leaving only a huge hollow tree hole.
But he was trapped in that dead tree, never to see the light of day again.
However, fortunately, he is indifferent by nature and is neither sad nor happy.
Although I was trapped in a dead tree and couldn't get out, I didn't feel sad at all. I still occasionally walked through the forest to relax in the wind, or at night when the moon was bright and clear, I admired the moonlight among the floating clouds.
When the tree spirits, flower spirits, and some bird and insect spirits practicing around me saw this scene for the first time, their faces turned pale with fright, and they all rushed to tell each other, thinking that some big monster had come to the border. But as time went by,
But they found that it was just a piece of elm wood that had long since decayed, so no one cared about it.
So, a hundred years passed like this.
After listening to his story, Xi Meng lay on his back among the clouds and let out a long sigh: "Mumu, you have cultivated for tens of thousands of years? Why don't you want to find a way to get out? Don't you feel uncomfortable after being stuck in there for so long? There will be pain on your body.
It doesn’t itch? Then have you not taken a bath for a hundred years? Sigh..."
As soon as he said these words, the dead elm tree was filled with green light again, and the white clouds under his feet were changed in color by his green light.
Yifeng couldn't help but become a little curious, and said to Ximeng: "Meng'er, I think Brother Mu hasn't cultivated his true form yet! Otherwise, how could he be willing to be trapped in this dead tree!"
Mu Zili was standing between them at this time, with the black branches swaying again and again, and explained: "I am invisible, and it is the same wherever I am!"
"..."
Xi Meng tilted her head and thought for a long time, but still couldn't understand what he meant.
By the way, he probably has never taken a shower...
…
That night, the three of them went from the beginning of the six realms to the destruction of the Rakshasa clan, and from the battle between immortals and demons to all things in the world...
When she talked about the human world, her purple eyes were filled with brilliance, and she was frothing at the mouth as she spoke, making Mu Zili and Yifeng's eyes widen with longing.
Therefore, the three of them unanimously decided to find an auspicious day to sneak out of the country and travel around the world.
Talking about the excitement, Xi Meng suddenly had a feeling of regretting that they had met so late. She wished she could marry him and live and die together from now on.
But when she expressed this idea, she was rejected by Yifeng. The reason turned out to be that he was willing to live and die with Meng'er, but they could never become brother and sister.
Xi Meng naturally knew what he had in mind. He must have feelings for this purple jade butterfly, so he did not want to make a sworn vow.
But he didn't expect that the black dead elm tree actually rejected her kindness. When she asked him why, he couldn't explain it.
Xi Meng was asking for trouble, so he never mentioned the matter again.
That night, they drank until the moon moved eastward and the sun rose, and then they each fell asleep.
At noon the next day, Shi Meng and Yifeng were awakened by a burst of loud music and drums.
It was like that time in a dream, when she was still hungover and her head was swollen. When she heard the sound of the drums, it was like thousands of man-eating ants were gnawing at her brain. She couldn't help but scream and turned over to sit up.
, poked half of his head out of the floating clouds, and yelled at the drum band in the forest: "Knock, knock, knock! It disturbs your dreams in the morning! Do you understand etiquette, justice and integrity? Your teacher has never taught you, has it? Do you understand the five lectures and four beauties? A bunch of people don't
Polite guy! Is anyone in charge?"
Yifeng was looking at the blue sky with half-open eyes, hesitating whether to get up, but after hearing her curse, he immediately flew up.
I saw the purple-clothed woman in front of me was as hairy as a bird's nest, as powerful as a tiger, her face was flushed, her hands were on her waist and she was frothing at the clouds. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Meng'er is indeed extraordinary.
Just as he was about to speak, he was kicked off the clouds by Simeng himself. The sharp wind in his ears was mixed with Simeng's instructions, "Stinky Caterpillar, hurry up and go down and see who it is. You got up early in the morning."
The disturbed neighbors will not be able to live in peace."
