“Ah, it’s over, it’s over!” Yue Lao realized that he had caused trouble and hurried to hide behind the Queen Mother. The other end of the red thread was on Bai Ze’s wrist…
Bai Ze blushed suddenly, looked up at the expressionless little Tianzun, then he gathered his mana into his eyes, until he could see the shining line of marriage between the two clearly. Not only the two of them, but other gods in the heaven would be able to see it as long as they did this. It was a big shame now.
In the past, Qian Liyan was talking nonsense, saying that he and Qu An had a relationship, but now he was connected to Tianzun by a naked red thread, and Bai Ze was so embarrassed that he almost wanted to find a crack in the ground.
Fu Li didn’t react at all, probably as a child with a backward mind, he couldn’t really understand the turmoil in Bai Ze’s heart at the moment.
“The evil fate is incomprehensible and endangers the common people. The most urgent thing is to untie these marriage lines.” Fu Li pointed to those messy red lines, some of which were attached to the statue of the Jade Emperor. No wonder the Jade Emperor would flirt with the Nine-Tailed Fox.
“Then how do we solve it? Cut it off?” Bai Ze tugged at the thread on the ground. There was a mysterious force in the red silk thread. No matter how much he beat and gnawed on it, there was no sign of breaking it.
“The marriage line is drawn by the power of marriage, and it cannot be disturbed by external objects. It is an invisible force, and even the true fire of samadhi cannot burn it.” Fu Li took out the heavenly book and flipped through the records about the marriage line and read it to Bai Ze.
“Then what should we do?” Bai Ze sat on the ground melancholy, as a benevolent beast with a strong sense of responsibility, he couldn’t just watch the world and the heavens become so chaotic. Now that the Jade Emperor was also affected, it was not even reliable to find the Jade Emperor.
A group of people went back to Yuqing Palace in a melancholy fashion and met the two brothers Qian Liyan and Shun Feng’er on the way.
Bai Ze’s eyes lit up, and he grabbed Qian Liyan: “I’m asking you something, do you know how to untie the wrong marriage line?” As an all-knowing inquirer, he must know.
Qian Liyan froze for a moment, looked up and down at Bai Ze, suddenly exclaimed, backed up three steps, pointed to Bai Ze, and then pointed to Fu Li beside him.
“What’s wrong?” Shun Feng’er slapped his brother.
“The world is going down, the world is going down!” Qian Liyan said sadly, “I said, why did you take over such a mess, it turned out to be for selfish reasons. But Tianzun is still so young, you can even do it?”
Bai Ze clenched his fists, wanting to beat him up. People in the immortal world paid attention to Taoism and nature, and followed their heart in everything, so Bai Ze thought about it and did it.
“Oh, stop beating, I was wrong, I was wrong!” Qian Liyan was beaten all over his head, until he was holding his head and running around.
After a stick of incense time had elapsed, Qian Liyan was squatting in the corner holding his head in tears, as he said, “On the Heartbreak Island in the South China Sea, there is a fate-relieving stone. The stone has to be ground and sprinkled on the clay sculpture. It can unravel the wrong marriage line.”
Covering the clay sculpture with stone powder turned the heart made of clay into a heart of iron and stone, and the marriage between the two came to an end. Bai Ze had heard this statement, and it must be true, he thanked Qian Liyan, and hurried away with a few children.
“The fate-relieving stone can solve the marriage fate of clay sculptures, but it can’t solve the connection between immortals.” Shun Feng scratched his head.
Qian Liyan snorted, the stupid beast didn’t ask, so he didn’t say anything! Then he kicked his brother: “You talk too much.”
Bai Ze handed the children over to Fu Li to take care of, and called Nezha himself, and together they went to the South China Sea to find the fate-relieving stone.
Nezha was the most proficient in running in the territory of the four seas, and this guy had his Hot Wheels, which could save the immortal power spent on flying through the clouds and driving the fog. Nezha had always been very loyal, so he immediately agreed. So Bai Ze turned into a palm-sized fur ball and nestled on Nezha’s shoulder. Nezha stepped on the Hot Wheels and headed straight for the South China Sea.
The sea was vast, and the Heartbreak island was only a dozen feet in radius, so it was really hard to find. Fortunately, Nezha had a lot of friends in the four seas. With a wave of his hand, he stretched the Huntian Ling into the sea water, and when he stirred it, the calm sea suddenly set off huge waves. Not long after, a bright red dragon rushed out, looking very unhappy as he asked: “Who is making trouble here?”
“Nezha is here, disturbing Your Highness!” Nezha said loudly. But it turned out that the big red dragon that appeared was Ao Chen, the eldest son of the Dragon King of the South China Sea.
When Ao Chen saw that it was Nezha, he shivered with fright, felt a little pain in his back, and came to Nezha with a wag of his tail: “So it’s the third prince, what’s your business?”
“There is an island called Heartbreak Island here?” Nezha raised his chin at him, he didn’t have a good relationship with the Ao family, but it was okay to ask for directions.
“This is?” Ao Chen didn’t want to answer at first, but he was afraid of being beaten, so he rolled his eyes and saw the little white fur ball on Nezha’s shoulder.
Bai Ze yawned and shook his head. He didn’t want to socialize at first, but he had to come out to say hello when he was seen, so he turned into a normal-sized animal body and slapped Ao Chen: “Long time no see!”
The dragon was staggered by the slap, and when he saw that it was Bai Ze, his tone immediately improved a lot: “It turns out that it is a god, and you two must have an immortal job to find Heartbreak Island, but the sea is so vast and everything is hard to find, why don’t I carry the two of you there? Let’s go.”
Having gotten a chariot and horse by accident, the two of them naturally readily agreed, Nezha put away the hot wheels, jumped onto the dragon’s head, grabbed the two dragon horns, and shouted excitedly: “Drive!”
Ao Chen turned rolling his eyes, then he waited for Bai Ze to go up. Bai Ze jumped up with his original body, hugging the slippery dragon body. Ao Chen really rolled his eyes now, the original Bai Ze was too heavy.
Then the red dragon flew to Heartbreak Island with the two guys on his back, after they alighted, Ao Chen fell into the sea with a plop and never came up again.
“I haven’t thanked him yet…” Bai Ze raised his paw and scratched his head.
“Leave him alone, let’s go find the fate-relieving stone.” Nezha resumed his work, and led Bai Ze to the center of the island.
In the sea water, a big bright red dragon was sinking to the bottom of the water. Several sharks passed by, very curious.
“Brother, there is a big loach over there, let’s eat two bites?” Brother Shark said excitedly.
“You’re stupid, that’s a dragon.” The elder shark gave his younger brother a tail.
“Dragon Meat!” Brother Shark’s eyes lit up, “Is that delicious?”
Ao Chen, who was exhausted and paralyzed, gave those fools a blank look and didn’t want to pay attention to them. Now he just wanted to soak and sleep freely in the sea for a while, and no one should bother him.
So, when Ao Chen woke up, he found himself in a cauldron, surrounded by a few drooling… shark spirits that had turned into human figures.
Bai Ze, who didn’t know what Ao Chen was going through, soon found the legendary fate-relieving stone. The stone was one foot high and shaped like a stele, with four big characters written on it: “Marriage is broken”.
It was said that if men and women in the world were entangled in love, as long as they found this fate-relieving stone and carved the name of the other party on it, they would become strangers from then on, and they would never be associated together again for three lives.
“Actually, it’s just because of the transformation of the two spirits of immortals and demons. Marriage is the most beautiful and pure force in the world. When encountering this mixed force, it will naturally be broken.” Nezha, a cultivator, explained it from a professional point of view. By the way, he knocked down the stone with the Qiankun ring and stuffed it into Bai Ze’s hand.
“Roar——” At this time, with a sharp roar, the ground shook, and a long monster emerged from the ground, covered with golden flames, resembling a dragon with eight claws, and a big bloody mouth as he howled at the two of them.
“Oops, Eight-clawed Fire Chinchilla!” Nezha pulled Bai Ze back quickly. This eight-clawed fire chinchilla was an ancient fierce beast. Before the battle between immortals and demons, it had been doing evil in the South China Sea. When it was defeated by the gods, he thought that it was already dead, but unexpectedly it hid here, protecting the fate-relieving stone!
“This beast is very powerful. It’s not worthwhile to force it to deal with it. Let’s leave quickly.” Bai Ze dragged Nezha, who was trying to fight, and left. This guy hadn’t been seen doing evil for so many years, so there must be some kind of ban around here. They should just get out of here.
“Roar—” Before the two of them could leave, the eight-clawed fire beast had already spewed out flames soaring into the sky, attacking them in a spiral shape.
Nezha opened his mouth, devoured the flames, and then sprayed them at the beast.
“Ouch—” Nezha finished vomiting, then suddenly knelt down and vomited.
“Nezha, what’s wrong with you?” Bai Ze was taken aback, and quickly helped him up, but Nezha vomited so hard that he couldn’t speak.
The eight-clawed fire chinchilla easily devoured all the flames, and then rushed towards the two with its bloody mouth wide open. Bai Ze was only an auspicious beast, and his mana couldn’t be used to fight at all. In desperation, he raised his hand and used a move of “enlightenment”.
This “enlightenment” was originally used to assist unenlightened people or animals to make them enlightened. It was based on the idea that everyone was a beast, and if there was something to discuss, he hoped to have a good talk with the eight-clawed fire chinchilla.
The dense white mist spread from between the white and slender hands, turned into a jet of water, and hit the beast’s skull directly.
“Laugh——” The water-attributed immortal power met the golden flames around the eight-clawed fire chinchilla, and made the sound of water evaporating, and then the surrounding scene changed suddenly. The sky became blood-colored, the earth was cracked, and the blood of humans, demons, immortals, and demons flowed into rivers. A golden flame hit Bai Ze, who was seriously injured until he couldn’t get up and was about to die. Suddenly, a hazy blue light appeared in front of his eyes, and a beauty dressed in green immortal clothes stood in front of him.
Although only half of his side face could be seen, Bai Ze could be sure that the man was extremely beautiful.
The scene in front of him suddenly collapsed, the blood and fighting disappeared without a trace, and it was still the peaceful island, with Bai Ze holding a stone in his hand, and Nezha, whose face had turned blue from vomiting, kneeling beside him.
“Where’s the eight-clawed fire chinchilla?” Bai Ze looked around.
“I don’t know what your trick reminded it of, it scared it away.” Nezha stood up weakly.
Presumably it was the scene of the battle between immortals and demons back then, and it reminded him of the person who banned him back then, and also allowed Bai Ze to see some of his missing memories. Was the person who saved him actually wearing green immortal clothes?
“What happened to you just now?” Seeing that Nezha was weak, Bai Ze changed into his original form and carried him back to the heaven.
“That fierce beast must have not rinsed its mouth for thousands of years, and the fire it spewed smells like manure.” Nezha said and was about to vomit again.
“Stop talking, I want to vomit too.” Bai Ze shook his head and quickly returned to Heaven.
There he let Laojun grind the fate-relieving stone into powder and sprinkled it on the clay sculpture of the Immortal Palace under the Moon. The dense red threads entangled on it would then gradually fade away.
Bai Ze breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to look at his wrist. The red line between him and Tianzun should… hadn’t been untied yet!
“What’s going on here?” Bai Ze grabbed Qian Liyan and asked.
Qian Liyan said that there was nothing he could do to help: “You, you can only untie it when Yue Lao recovers his mana.”
The sullen Bai Ze returned to Yuqing Palace, just in time to meet the Jade Emperor who came to pick up his wife, and felt a little guilty. Today was supposed to be the day when the Jade Emperor assessed his teaching achievements, but he was busy with the matter of the marriage line these two days and forgot about it.
“You’ve done a good job!” The Jade Emperor hugged the Queen Mother with one hand, and patted Bai Ze’s shoulder with the other, “The evil fate is harmful to the world, it breaks the heart and the liver, if it is not eliminated, it will cause endless harm. I knew it, you are the most suitable to do this.”
Bai Ze laughed dryly, and said in his heart that it sounded nice, but is it not because of helping you solve the rotten peach blossom Nine-Tailed Fox that you came to thank me, right?
Regardless of the purpose, the Jade Emperor recognized Bai Ze’s contribution this time and rewarded him with an artifact, a crystal clear white jade cup.
“This object is called Yueyue. The effect of collecting moonlight through it is a hundred times that of meditation. There is only one in the sky and on the earth. Don’t break it.” The Jade Emperor reluctantly put the jade cup in Bai Ze’s hand and looked at it with nostalgia. With one glance, he hugged his wife and left without looking back.
At night, Bai Ze turned into his original form, then lying on his stomach in the yard, he put his nose against the Yueyue cup in front of him. He couldn’t do such a silly thing as raising a glass to invite the moonlight. He tilted his head and looked at it, but he couldn’t see anything unusual about the glass. It was probably the Jade Emperor who was fooling him again.
Biting on the rim of the cup, he yawned, then Bai Ze looked at Laojun and Li Jing who were sleeping on the jade mat, then at Fu Li who was leaning on him, and Yue Lao who was holding his tail and braiding his fur, feeling relieved, then he closed his eyes.
The moonlight was like gossamer, gathering strand by strand into the jade cup, just like that, its essence was swallowed by Bai Ze, who was biting the cup and drooling. Where no one noticed, the marriage line connecting Fu Li and Bai Ze began to flicker on and off. The crystal clear moonlight poured into the little child’s body along the red line.
Fu Li slowly opened his eyes, spread his hands, his fleshy hands gradually elongated, this time it didn’t stop on his hands, followed by his arms and shoulders…
In front of Yuqing Palace, where the moonlight gathered, a person dressed in a blue immortal gown with wide sleeves and a jasper crown, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, thin lips lightly pursed, with picturesque eyebrows and extraordinary handsomeness appeared. If Bai Ze was still awake, he would definitely call out beauty! Now, the beauty was sitting cross-legged, leaning on Bai Ze’s body, looking at him thoughtfully.
But Bai Ze, who didn’t notice anything, just sucked in his saliva, dreaming soundly.
The author has something to say:
Small theater:
Bai Ze: What about white beard and hair?
Fu Li: There are always thousands of years in the life of a god, and you will feel lonely.
