“How is it? Have you found him?”
In Divine Might Hall, before the Dream Sky Instrument.
The Old Man Under the Moon, wearing red robes and somewhat thin in form, asked softly.
Beside him, that familiar golden-armored celestial official, again using his familiar tone carrying several parts of pride from being an early Heaven official, said:
“Old Man Under the Moon don’t rush, just a small disciple from Crossing Immortal Gate, how could he… mm…”
The golden-armored official’s words stopped halfway, suddenly remembering the experience of being troubled for half a year last time, his tone instantly weakening several parts.
This Divine Might Hall official smiled somewhat awkwardly, saying slightly more cautiously:
“This time, as long as he can enter the dream, we’ll certainly be able to contact him.”
The Old Man Under the Moon lightly nodded, giving the official a forced smile, appearing rather preoccupied.
The Old Man Under the Moon hadn’t expected Great Master Xuandu would come to his Moon Old Man Hall twice in several days…
Half an hour ago, the Great Master had come to his Moon Old Man Hall, clarifying the matter he had spoken halfway about before, namely [No need to deliberately promote marriages for Human Dao Sect’s legacy anymore].
The Old Man Under the Moon couldn’t help feeling puzzled…
Was his red string entangling not spicy enough, or were the Great Master’s requirements truly too high… how had all his years of effort been completely negated?
So many years of bitter work!
He had strictly followed the Great Master’s requirements, discovering when two red strings from the Human Dao Sect’s legacy were mutually attracted, stirring with desire, he would directly secretly promote their affairs on the side.
For this, the Old Man Under the Moon had violated many of his principles, as long as he saw compatible people in the Human Dao Sect’s several immortal sects, he would secretly prick them with the love tree, promoting red string growth.
Things like ‘Domineering Elder Brother Falls in Love with Me’, ‘The Elder is Too Fierce’, ‘I Want the Whole Primordial World to Know You’ve Contracted the Entire Spirit Beast Circle’, those were all rare marriage dramas in the primordial world!
Even to make these Human Dao Sect couples cherish each other more, the Old Man Under the Moon would arrange small trials in their marriages, deepening mutual feelings, and promoting understanding between husband and wife.
With difficulties, must match;
Without difficulties creating difficulties, still must match!
Yet the Great Master…
The Old Man Under the Moon sighed deeply in his heart, watching the Dream Sky Instrument.
He dared not speak, dared not ask, and could only honestly follow the Great Master’s order to deliver some things to his friend across the years, little Changshou.
Fortunately, the Dream Sky Instrument brightened quickly this time, and the golden-armored official secretly relieved, carefully sending a dream invitation to Li Changshou.
At this time Li Changshou, who was at the Three Teachings Origin Assembly venue, had secretly instructed Xiong Lingli to protect his meditation;
He who had been pretending to breakthrough, quietly sank his consciousness into the dream.
Being pulled into a dream wouldn’t matter even if discovered;
After all, being pulled into a dream by Heaven’s Heavenly Dao treasure, Li Changshou could excuse it by saying he didn’t know how he entered the dream, make up a suitable excuse, and no one would suspect anything.
Soon, Li Changshou saw that golden-armored official, whose expression was somehow… a bit excited.
This official didn’t say much, just asked Li Changshou to wait briefly, hurriedly bringing in the Old Man Under the Moon wearing celebratory robes.
“Senior,” Li Changshou stepped forward making a Daoist bow, smiling and saying, “Long time no see, have things been smooth recently?”
Hearing this, the Old Man Under the Moon’s heart somehow felt…
So comfortable!
No matter who saw him, they all called out Old Man Under the Moon, and asked a few questions about marriage fate, only when seeing this Human Dao Sect disciple who hadn’t yet become immortal could he, the Old Man Under the Moon, arouse his dignity as a male… cultivator!
Besides his Heaven official position, he, the Old Man Under the Moon, was also a cultivator who had bitterly cultivated for tens of thousands of years!
The Old Man Under the Moon returned Li Changshou’s standard Daoist bow, showing a gentle smile, like an elder caring for his junior, smiling and saying:
“Changshou, congratulations on gaining your sect’s Great Master’s favor.”
Hearing this, Li Changshou was truly stunned for a moment…
Had the Great Master directly announced his appointment as Human Dao Sect’s Little Master in Heaven’s circles?
This behavior wasn’t like the Human Dao Sect at all!
Fortunately, the Old Man Under the Moon took out a ring-type storage treasure, smiling and saying:
“These are things the Great Master ordered me to deliver to you, seems to be several technique manuals.
That you haven’t yet become immortal but can receive the Great Master’s transmission of methods is truly unprecedented!”
Li Changshou’s tense heartstrings relaxed slightly, giving the Old Man Under the Moon a ‘shy’ smile, though curious about what techniques the Great Master had given him, he wasn’t in a hurry to check.
Taking the ring, Li Changshou again exchanged greetings with the Old Man Under the Moon;
Perhaps Li Changshou truly had the potential quality of ‘primordial world’s heart-to-heart brother’, soon, the Old Man Under the Moon sighed, in the dream’s cool pavilion, telling what was troubling his heart…
“The Great Master stopped the trend of making dao partners?”
Hearing this Li Changshou’s heart rejoiced, feeling his life safety coefficient instantly rose several base points!
‘A great teaching immortal sect, dao partners trending within the gates, though natural and following inclination, what kind of example does it set!’
Tch, accidentally even rhymed.
Li Changshou’s mood immediately became much lighter, continuing to chat idly with the Old Man Under the Moon for a while.
Suddenly, Li Changshou’s heart flashed with inspiration, looking at the Old Man Under the Moon before him…
Could the Great Master sending the Old Man Under the Moon have other considerations?
Li Changshou pondered for several sounds, quickly understanding the Great Master’s deeper intention in having the Old Man Under the Moon meet him!
The Great Master was intentionally reminding him—
[Can have the Old Man Under the Moon appear at Ao Yi’s grand wedding, giving East Sea Dragon Palace Second Prince Ao Yi and the Merfolk princess some congratulatory gifts, building a presence for Heaven!]
Current Heaven had no experts to speak of, no reputation to speak of, besides being rich in merit, could be called poor in all else.
—Of course, this was compared to the Dragon Tribe.
Using Ao Yi’s wedding to give the Dragon Tribe congratulatory gifts was a good entry point for Heaven to enter all Dragon Tribe’s vision.
Must also make Dragon Tribe remember vividly, and even more, make Dragon Tribe feel novel…
Dragon Tribe, the primordial world’s rich household indeed, besides Innate Spirit Treasures and Innate Supreme Treasures, truly didn’t lack treasures.
But when the Old Man Under the Moon appears then, taking out a marriage red embroidered ball blessed by him, blessing Ao Yi and that little princess with harmony and love…
A bonus point for Heaven!
Li Changshou was about to speak, but the words reached his lips and became:
“Senior, I have a friend, may I request Senior help stabilize his marriage fate.”
Li Changshou was vigilant in his heart, this matter needed the Jade Emperor’s approval, and he couldn’t arrange Heaven’s proper gods on his own.
Hearing Li Changshou’s request, though the Old Man Under the Moon felt some disappointment in his heart, he still smiled and nodded.
“Naturally possible, you… this friend… which lady has he taken a fancy to?”
Li Changshou pondered for several sounds, saying seriously:
“This friend of mine is East Sea Dragon Palace’s Second Prince Ao Yi, I associate with him as a close friend.
I hear he recently did a muddle-headed thing, having husband-wife relations with a certain Merfolk Tribe princess before marriage.
This junior feels this matter is somewhat inappropriate, and also worries Brother Yi might, due to interference from other matters, fail this Merfolk princess.
So wanted to request Senior to take action to stabilize their marriage fate.
Senior you wield Heaven’s treasure, if you act, Heaven will naturally generate resonance, everything will promote their feelings, and this matter will be stable.”
The Old Man Under the Moon blinked, the disappointment in his heart completely swept away, smiling and saying: “So it truly is your friend’s matter.”
“What else…”
“Oh, hahaha,” the Old Man Under the Moon immediately stroked his beard laughing heartily, his gaze looking at Li Changshou with several more parts approval than before.
The Old Man Under the Moon smiled and said: “Good! I’ll help you do this as soon as I return! Rest assured!”
Li Changshou hurriedly made a Daoist bow, “I thank Senior on Brother Yi’s behalf!”
The Old Man Under the Moon repeatedly said no need for ceremony, looking more and more pleased with this Human Dao Sect youth.
Respecting teachers and the dao with propriety, putting friendship first when loyalty calls.
Finally asking for marriage fate, yet for his friend, and not like others borrowing his, the Old Man Under the Moon’s, red string for fate entanglement matters, ultimately just coveting the other’s male or female body!
What Changshou requested was different, completely different…
When leaving, the Old Man Under the Moon couldn’t help sighing:
“Being friends with Changshou is truly a fortunate thing.”
Li Changshou smiled and said: “If able to become friends across years with Senior, is also this junior’s fortune.”
The Old Man Under the Moon immediately smiled until his old face bloomed.
Thus, the Dragon Tribe’s ascension to Heaven matter found another small breakthrough point.
Li Changshou broke free from the dream, secretly observing surrounding changes, finding no one paying attention to him, thus continued making the state of comprehending breakthrough.
Seeming to discover he was also breaking through, a circle of immortal power barrier appeared around Li Changshou, this must be Jiuwu’s doing.
At this moment, Li Changshou’s heart couldn’t help praising several times.
The Great Master was still the Great Master!
Following heart and intention, a heart without trifles, yet able to observe minutely, able to see angles this Little Master couldn’t see!
Directly having the Old Man Under the Moon find him, reminding him of the [Dragon Tribe’s Ascension to Heaven] matter could also be approached from this angle!
Though Li Changshou had also considered that the Great Master having the Old Man Under the Moon deliver things might purely be casually ordering the Old Man Under the Moon…
But compared to ‘the Great Master’s laziness’, Li Changshou was more willing to believe his backer was profound and unfathomable!
Holding that treasure ring in hand, Li Changshou originally wasn’t in a hurry to see what was inside but worried the Great Master might have other instructions, so taking a tiny bit of risk, quietly refined it.
Soon, Li Changshou saw the mountain of treasure materials and spirit stones inside, but judging by these treasure materials and spirit stones’ types and remaining aura, determined they should be gifts from the Old Man Under the Moon.
And in the middle of the ring’s small universe, also the most conspicuous position, was a small grey cloth package, seeming to contain two ancient book scrolls.
Li Changshou’s divine consciousness barely saw the four-character label attached to one jade scroll’s outside, his forehead immediately covered in black lines…
Sca… Scattered Seeds Become Soldiers?
No wonder the Great Master now had the Old Man Under the Moon stop messing with the Human Dao Sect, turned out he had discovered this one-tool person could top four or five-tool people!
Now still wanted him to… expand the scale…
Shaking his head, Li Changshou lightly sighed, activating the paper avatar in the Sea God Temple underground, finding a corner, and writing his second memorial.
Now Heaven hadn’t yet given him a salary, he had already started work in advance;
This was like, still in probation period, already having the general manager’s concerns, doing the chairman’s assistant’s work…
This memorial was suggesting the Jade Emperor arrange for the Old Man Under the Moon to go congratulate Ao Yi and the Merfolk princess at that time.
Li Changshou carefully considered while writing, thinking through various situations, avoiding the Jade Emperor’s displeasure, and also avoiding the Dragon Tribe developing antipathy toward Heaven…
…
Meanwhile, Heaven, Moon Old Man Hall back hall.
The first thing the Old Man Under the Moon did upon returning from Divine Might Hall was rush here, taking out East Sea Dragon Palace Second Prince Ao Yi’s marriage fate clay figure, and bringing out related clay figures.
Looking carefully, there were as many as three.
Among the three marriage fate clay figures surrounding Ao Yi, the closest to Ao Yi was the Three Severances Sect Golden Tortoise Island cultivator Hanzhi;
Furthest was a dragon woman;
And neither far nor near was the human-bodied fish-tailed Merfolk princess.
Ao Yi’s marriage fate clay figure was also youthful in form, clear-browed and bright-eyed, now the three red strings flying from his body, corresponded to that dragon woman’s shortest, just a thread end.
Though that dragon woman’s red string was long, it simply couldn’t reach Ao Yi’s side.
—This was the dragon woman’s one-sided love, while Ao Yi toward her, only had weak good feelings.
Among Ao Yi’s three red strings, the one probing toward Hanzhi was the longest, and Hanzhi’s red string had also probed out, but the two red strings missed direction, not entwining.
The Merfolk princess’s red string was powerful.
Seeming to have just approached a few days ago, growing corresponding red strings together with Ao Yi’s marriage fate clay figure, now the two red strings had already entwined together, and were slowly pulling the two marriage fate clay figures closer…
The Old Man Under the Moon held the potted love tree observing for a while, carefully calculating, soon slowly nodding.
This situation was exactly as Changshou said.
What situation hadn’t the Old Man Under the Moon seen? This was typical—dry firewood fierce fire burning one night, feeling the other isn’t bad.
At once, the Old Man Under the Moon first took out the Heavenly Dao treasure golden scissors, snip snip cutting most of Ao Yi and Hanzhi’s red strings short, that Hanzhi marriage fate clay figure immediately moved some distance away.
The Old Man Under the Moon also checked the ‘one-sided love dragon woman’s’ red strings, discovering Ao Yi’s cousin already had two other well-entwined red strings…
Tch, Dragon Tribe’s red strings were mostly this messy, just need fixing up.
Checking the Merfolk princess’s marriage fate clay figure, found she was quite pure, only having this one red string.
Then, the Old Man Under the Moon squinted and smiled, taking out a threaded end from his celebratory robes.
Lightly placing this red thread on Ao Yi and that Merfolk princess’s red string, carefully wrapping several times, tying a heart-union knot…
Lock it down first.
“Changshou, you can rest assured.”
The Old Man Under the Moon chuckled several times, sending Ao Yi and the Merfolk princess’s marriage fate clay figures back to their original place.
…
Under that tree in Doulu Palace’s back garden.
‘Today Doulu Palace’s wind is also peaceful as always.’
Great Master Xuandu stretched lazily, lying on his side on the cushion under the tree, raising his hand to prop his head, leisurely taking a nap with closed eyes.
Comfortable.
