The gods each have their own duties to maintain peace and justice in the mortal world, allowing more cultivators to attain immortality; however, descent to the mortal world for illicit affairs fundamentally disrupts justice. Yao Ji committed a grave mistake and was executed as a warning to others, but the Jade Emperor did not punish her child.
Many years later, Erlang Shen and the Third Holy Mother both achieved immortality and were enshrined as immortals.
Erlang Shen is the celestial deity in charge of justice; the Third Princess governs Mount Hua. After violating celestial rules by descending to the mortal realm and marrying without permission, she was imprisoned under Mount Hua and has not been released to this day. It is said that she also had a child who remained in the mortal world. Perhaps, like the brother and sister, a kind deity will descend to teach her, allowing her to absorb the essence of heaven and earth as quickly as possible and eventually ascend to the ranks of immortals…
Will there be another story in the mirror world where Chenxiang saves his mother?
Did these events happen around the same time?
Jiang Chen was completely stunned after hearing this. It seemed that the Seven Fairies had not yet fallen in love with Dong Yong; Liu Chenxiang, born of the Third Princess, had not yet split the mountain to rescue his mother. No wonder the Queen Mother of the West could not arrive in time. The Heavenly Court was probably in chaos!
The other party easily found some excuse to keep the Queen Mother occupied. In those few days, several years passed on Earth. The Cowherd naturally gained a wife and children, only waiting to catch up with the Heavenly Court and shamelessly stay to become an immortal. Perhaps after setting a precedent for the Weaver Girl, the Seventh Fairy Maiden will also rush into Dong Yong's arms…
Previously unrelated stories were now intricately linked in the mirror world. He leaned against the locust tree, slowly rubbing his temples, pondering where to truly break the deadlock.
In another mirror world, the development trajectory is remarkably similar to this one.
The wealthy and beautiful woman, who was supposed to be abducted and imprisoned, encountered a kind photographer ahead of her. The photographer reminded her that the women in the nearby villages were all bought and warned her to be careful not to be deceived.
So the wary young girl took advantage of the poor, lazy man's greed for a life of luxury and wealth, successfully capturing him and allowing him to wait safely for rescue under the photographer's protection.
As the sun rose higher and higher, around noon, Mu Jiuxiu finally carried the loom and cotton thread that the old ox had prepared into the cave. He chuckled and said, "Look, I even got you a new loom! Don't you love weaving? Do you like it?"
"I'm weaving at home, what are you doing?" The Weaver Girl thought to herself, "I like weaving clouds to decorate the sky, not making these things for you to earn money and enjoy life."
Faced with the beautiful woman's questioning, Mu Jiuxiu lay down on the pile of hay she had carefully arranged and replied, "I have no house or land in the village. In the past, I would take my old ox and do odd jobs for other people to earn a living."
Now that we've settled down in the mountains, there's naturally no odd jobs to do;
There's no farmland to cultivate in the mountains; the old ox is intelligent and can eat grass and drink water on its own, so I don't need to look after it. You go about your business, and I'll just stay here and watch over it, which is fine."
He hadn't slept well last night and woke up early this morning, plus he felt uncomfortable sleeping on the cold, hard ground all night. He had also walked so many mountain paths early this morning to find food and water. Having never experienced anything like this before, Mu Jiuxiu was exhausted. He lay on the comfortable haystack, squinting his eyes, trying to take a nap.
"Heh, what a lazy bum." The Weaver Girl rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. A real man with all four limbs could do anything and not be this poor.
After eating and drinking his fill, he would fall asleep and wait for the woman to weave cloth to support him. If it weren't for the old ox helping him to stay trapped, the cowherd, with his character, would probably never have been able to get a wife in his lifetime.
She took off her gold shuttle-shaped jewelry to temporarily use as a shuttle, sat on the stool, laid out the cotton thread, and began weaving with her feet and hands.
The neat and even sound of the loom had a very good hypnotic effect. Mu Jiuxiu quickly fell asleep to the sound of the loom. In his dream, he had a puppet maid on his left and a celestial weaver on his right. He was embracing both of them and rolling around in the clouds, sleeping together in a big quilt. He was very happy!
The golden shuttle swiftly weaves through the interwoven cotton threads in the Weaver Girl's delicate hands, making a soft rustling sound as it blends the light blue cotton threads together to form a lustrous fabric.
"Flutter!"
The blue sky was faintly tinged with light gray, and the air was thick with a sultry atmosphere. The magpie spirit folded its wings and landed on a rock atop a mountain. It flapped its wings a few times, tilted its head, and preened the feathers on its chest, carefully observing whether there were any suspicious people or animals nearby.
"Ha~ We've finally arrived!" The fluffy little ball yawned, scratched the rocks with its little paws a few times, and stretched out a big yawn.
It has to be said that the magpie flies incredibly fast; when you perch on it, the cool breeze ruffles your feathers.
It licked its fur, and seeing that the other party was still cautiously waiting for the rendezvous, it took out paper and pen from its space, held them with its short paws, wrote a crooked note, and put it in to report the message.
After confirming that there were no spies on the mountain, the magpie spirit flapped its wings and transformed into a plump and beautiful woman wearing a dark blue dress and adorned with fluffy decorations on her head.
She moved gracefully around the steep cliff, bent down and entered a cave hidden by a large rock, and walked down the stone steps.
The little white cat, afraid of getting lost, quickly jumped onto her shoulder and peered into the dark depths.
As a spirit, the magpie spirit naturally could see clearly in the dark without lighting a candle. A woman dressed in white brocade robes covered with a blue veil, with a gentle demeanor, sat cross-legged in a miniature, slightly glowing mountain cage, her brows furrowed, clearly enduring constant suppression and torment.
"Wow! Another beautiful girl?" It wasn't until she got closer that the fluffy little girl could see her clearly and couldn't help but marvel.
The imprisoned woman had a delicate and beautiful appearance. Her thin shoulders trembled slightly as she turned around with difficulty. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, her willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her cherry-like mouth trembled slightly. Before she even spoke, her every move evoked a feeling of pity.
Even the little white cat couldn't help but feel sorry for her. "Oh dear, who did this? Why would they lock up such a delicate and fragile beauty?"
It hurriedly took out a pen, licked the tip with its pink little tongue, and wrote a few words on the paper, hoping its host would take notice. If the beautiful girl was imprisoned here because of bad guys, it could find a way to rescue her. Didn't ancient girls like to repay kindness with their bodies? Wouldn't this mean it could get another wife?
"Why are you here? Did it work out?" Yang Chan looked at the magpie spirit who had stopped, her eyes filled with worry and anticipation.
The other party bowed, shook his head, and reported in a low voice: "Reporting to the Holy Mother, the Cowherd successfully obtained the Weaver Girl's fairy robe under her guidance and forcibly kept her in the mortal world. He originally intended to facilitate the marriage last night so that she could conceive a mortal child as soon as possible. But who knew that even though the Weaver Girl lost her fairy robe and magic power, she still had a magic treasure to protect her. The Cowherd, a mere mortal, could not get close to her at all."
"Magic treasures?" Yang Chan's tearful eyes were full of incomprehension. "Impossible! Ever since I was imprisoned under Mount Hua, the Queen Mother has been even stricter in watching over the fairies. She doesn't allow them to bring any magic treasures other than their fairy robes when they descend to the mortal world, just to prevent the Lotus Lantern incident from happening again. Even though the Weaver Girl is the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, there is no reason for her to disobey the Queen Mother's orders."
Although the other party was imprisoned, he was still a true god, not to mention he had a god brother who was in charge of the law.
If Erlang Shen hadn't suppressed her out of brotherly affection, the Third Holy Mother would probably have been reduced to ashes long ago, given her heinous act of knowingly committing a crime.
Magpie was also eager to make this happen, but she didn't dare to offend anyone, so she could only helplessly shrug and say, "Please contact the higher-ups again, Third Holy Mother. Weaver Girl is fierce and will rather die than submit, even Taurus Star Lord can't handle her."
Her magical artifact is quite strange; it emits golden light, leaving the Cowherd covered in wounds, yet it doesn't emit any magical power whatsoever. If we don't find a way to remove the Weaver Girl's magical artifact, the Cowherd probably won't be able to win her over at all. We can only buy ourselves a few years; it takes time for her to conceive and give birth safely.”
The Holy Mother of the Third Princess frowned, tears welling up in her eyes.
The delicate, pitiful beauty, like a white flower, spoke with resentment, "It's all my brother's fault for being so cruel! Back then, my brother and I watched helplessly as our mother was trapped under the mountain, how tragic it was! He even split the mountain to save her, but he made me repeat the same mistake and suppress her under Mount Hua!"
What's wrong with us pursuing love?
What's wrong with falling in love with a mortal? Why should we be bound by rigid, restrictive heavenly rules, forcibly separating us, husband and wife, flesh and blood? I'm not reconciled! Why! Why was the Weaver Girl allowed to disobey orders and descend to the mortal realm with magical treasures? Just because she's the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor and holds a high position?
"Third Holy Mother, it's no use saying all this now. If you want to shake the heavenly laws, you have to find a way to make the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl's marriage happen. Stop crying and quickly think of a way to break the Weaver Girl's magic weapon."
The magpie spirit, clearly used to the other party's constant crying and complaining, shook her plump arms and reminded her, "According to the description of the Golden Bull Star Lord, the Weaver Girl's magic weapon should be the bracelet on her wrist."
Chapter Ten: That's not how you use the word "fairy"...
Being suppressed under Mount Hua and carrying a criminal record, how easy would it be to contact those above?
The Third Holy Mother lowered her head slightly and pondered for a moment. "There are countless magical treasures in the Heavenly Palace. It is not unusual for someone to refine a bracelet into a magical treasure and carry it with them. Tell me in detail what the magical treasure carried by the Weaver Girl is, and I may have heard of it and be able to give you some pointers."
The magpie spirit carefully recalled the story and embellished it for her, describing what the old ox had heard from the cowherd.
"It can emit golden light and injure anyone who gets close to her? It sounds just like the Five-Colored Cloud Robe that can grow poisonous thorns, but that is clearly a magical artifact of the clothing type. How could the Weaver Girl have other clothes when she took off her fairy robe to bathe in the Jade Lotus Pond? Moreover, the Five-Colored Cloud Robe is the treasure of the Purple Sun Immortal. How could it have anything to do with her?" The Third Holy Mother was completely puzzled.
"The Taurus Star Lord said it was just like the embroidery needle of the Bodhisattva Pilanpo."
"Chicken-light needle?" The Third Holy Mother's eyes widened immediately, then she shook her head firmly and said, "Even more impossible! She, the Weaver Girl, is just a fairy who weaves clouds and mist. Even the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor is only famous for her Heavenly Shuttle. What merit does she have to receive a magical treasure personally crafted by a Bodhisattva?"
Her vehement denial was merely a stubborn refusal to believe; her hands trembled slightly as she tried to recall any connection between the Weaver Girl and the Bodhisattva.
If it involves the Bodhisattva Vimalamitra, it would be a huge problem. Although she often lives in seclusion in the mountains, even the Queen Mother of the West has to give her some respect. For the Weaver Girl to receive such special treatment from her, could it be...?
The Third Holy Mother, Yang Chan, couldn't bear the loneliness of solitary cultivation and was overly protected by her brother, Yang Jian. When Yang Jian attempted to split the mountain to rescue their mother, stormed the Heavenly Court, and demanded changes to the Heavenly Laws, causing chaos, she not only didn't contribute but also hid behind, complaining that her brother hadn't been able to save their mother. Even after becoming an immortal, she only cared about self-pity and loneliness, and completely succumbed to love at first sight with a man.
Now that I hear that the Weaver Girl may have some connection with that Bodhisattva, I immediately think of matters of love between men and women.
The Bodhisattva Vimalamitra had a son!
Her son is none other than the Sun God of the Rabbit Star, who lives in the Palace of Light. He is a low-key person with an average appearance. Could it be that he has fallen for the beautiful Weaver Girl?
This explains why the Weaver Girl still had the ability to protect herself after descending to earth.
This is terrible! The original plan was flawless, but who would have thought that the Weaver Girl had this kind of relationship? Moreover, that Cowherd is too incompetent. He was born with a handsome face, but when faced with a celestial beauty who had no experience in love, he didn't know how to say a single sweet word to make her fall in love.
"Please step back and wait a moment. I need to contact my superiors to find out what's going on." After frowning and thinking for a moment, the Third Holy Mother decided to risk contacting them again.
After all, this is a very important matter. If the Cowherd can successfully get the Weaver Girl, the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West, to give birth to a mortal child, we'll have to see how the Jade Emperor punishes him according to the Heavenly Laws!
At that time, the talk of heaven and earth will be clear, and it will be just around the corner that the heavenly rules that imprison love will be broken!
Once the Jade Emperor modifies the Heavenly Laws, he will be able to see the light of day again, so that his poor child won't have to go through all sorts of hardships to split Mount Hua to save his mother and commit such a sin...
The magpie spirit obediently withdrew, and the fluffy ball hopped over to the Third Holy Mother, wanting to see how she made the contact.
"Alas... My poor child, who was just a month old, is now so old." The Third Holy Mother's brows were full of sorrow. She wiped away her tears and said mournfully, "Weaver Girl, Weaver Girl, the strict heavenly rules and regulations have made you completely ignorant of true love in this world. I am only doing this for your own good."
The Jade Emperor certainly wouldn't dare to punish you severely. By following the Cowherd, you can enjoy the sweetness of love you've never felt before; and you can pave the way for your sisters to find true love. Whether in heaven or on earth, future generations will praise you.
Unlike me, who was so unlucky that no one helped me make plans, I was even suppressed by my own brother under Mount Hua and suffered endless torment..."
The little white cat pricked up its ears and heard everything clearly. Then it spat at the Third Holy Mother in the cage, "Pah! Pah! Pah! I hate people who use the guise of doing what's best for others to harm them. You look pretty, but who knew you were a black-hearted person inside!"
The Holy Mother of the Three Realms made hand seals and chanted incantations. A silver light shot out of the cage and disappeared instantly.
Fluffy dumpling: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a
That's it?! Is that all?
As expected, the world of immortals is making me go bald. There are no space rings or magic treasures, I can't find my immortal clothes, and I can't even track messages. My life system is a complete failure.
"I'm sorry, host, the clues have gone cold again." It licked the tip of the pen with its pink little tongue and continued to write a note to report the news. "We don't know where the Heavenly Palace is. The Third Holy Mother just sent a text message, but we don't know what it said or who the recipient was. I, the cat, really have no other way."
Jiang Chen pulled out a handful of small slips of paper from the system space and began to examine the crooked words on them one by one.
The Third Holy Mother was the mastermind behind the scenes. She wanted to make the Weaver Girl break the heavenly rules and then use public opinion to force the Jade Emperor to change the heavenly rules so that she could be released without charge and reunite with her husband and children, thus saving Liu Chenxiang from having to work hard to split the mountain to save his mother.
The logic works for now, but the result...
The world in the mirror obviously did not develop in accordance with the traditional story he was familiar with. It is also possible that Mu Jiuxiu's input was too concise, and in order to make it logical, he filled in all sorts of unreasonable situations, which led to a lot of hidden troubles.
Given the current situation, even if she hadn't intervened and the Cowherd had succeeded, she would still be a victim when the Queen Mother led the heavenly soldiers and generals to rescue the Weaver Girl and bring her back to Heaven.
The Heavenly Laws forbid gods from descending to the mortal realm to marry without permission. However, the Weaver Girl's situation is special. She was abducted and forced to give birth to a son and a daughter, but this was not her intention to escape. No matter how strict the Heavenly Laws are, they cannot punish the victim and cause the Weaver Girl secondary harm.
That's why the ending was so special. All the other fairies who descended to earth were punished, but the Weaver Girl not only escaped punishment but was also morally blackmailed by public opinion, giving the Cowherd a false title. At least on the surface, the annual reunion was a romantic and happy ending.
Whether it's truly a happy ending can be seen from the fact that the two children never received any recognition, nor did any deity come to impart any skills to them.
Even after the White Snake and Xu Xian's love between a demon and a mortal resulted in the reincarnation of the Wenqu Star, Xu Shilin still had the Wuqu Star descending to earth to help him, the Bodhisattva rescuing him from danger, and the Green Snake and the little devils secretly assisting him. In the end, he became the top scholar in the imperial examination, opened Leifeng Pagoda, and reunited with his mother.
The son born to the Third Holy Mother and Liu Yanchang lived in Luoyang City from birth, and his father, an official, was able to become a disciple of the immortals after getting into trouble. Not to mention Yao Ji, who was the first to fall in love with the mortal world, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Among the second-generation immortals that Jiang Chen knew, the children of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were the most miserable.
Aside from mentioning it when he was pursuing the Weaver Girl, there was no further news of him, as if he never existed afterward.
"Rescuing the Weaver Girl = the Three Holy Mothers' conspiracy fails = the Heavenly Laws must not be amended to prevent the second generation of immortals from running rampant, otherwise even the Heavenly Court can be hijacked by morality, so what fairness can we talk about in the world!" He looked up at the cloudless blue sky and suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was even heavier.
With the rhythmic clatter of the loom, the weaver skillfully finished weaving a roll of lustrous, soft, and flowing fabric.
"Cowherd, Cowherd, wake up!" She finished tidying up the cloth and called out to Mu Jiuxiu, who was fast asleep, "I've finished weaving a bolt of cloth, hurry up and get up to sell it."
Mu Jiu was having a sweet dream about sleeping in the same bed when he heard a pleasant voice calling him. He wiped his drool, opened his eyes, and stared blankly for a few seconds before looking out at the sun. Sure enough, it was only noon!
"So fast?!" Touching on a blind spot in his knowledge, he searched his memory for a moment and vaguely remembered that hand-weaving cloth was damn slow; the neighbor's wife would struggle for several days to weave a single bolt of cloth.
The Weaver Girl is truly a professional; her speed is unbelievable!
He jumped up and was about to touch the fabric when the Weaver Girl frowned and dodged him. "Go wash your hands. The fabric I painstakingly wove is not an ordinary product that can be sold at a high price. If you get it dirty, you won't be able to get a good price."
"Hehe, whatever you say!" Mu Jiuxiu hurriedly stepped forward, poured some water from the gourd to wash his hands, rubbed them on his body, and carefully touched the fabric. His eyes immediately lit up. "Weaver Girl, you are so capable! Not only is the fabric woven quickly, but it also feels different from the cotton thread we used to have?"
The Weaver Girl placed the cloth in his hands, feigning arrogance, and said, "Of course, I am a fairy in the Heavenly Palace who weaves clouds and mist. Even ordinary things from the mortal world become much more delicate and soft after being woven by my hands. Haven't you noticed that the cloth I weave has a luster as smooth as the clouds in the sky?"
The cowherd had never seen such fine fabric in his entire life;
Mu Jiuxiu was naturally knowledgeable, but even fabrics made by modern machines couldn't compare to the comfort of cloth woven by the Weaver Girl herself.
