I talk about life with Wukong [Mythology]

Chapter 21

Tao Zi followed behind Xuan Ting, looking back worriedly, "Did you offend the Canopy Marshal?"

"Don't worry." Xuan Ting didn't look back, and pulled him forward.

"But... what if he really wants to file a complaint?" Tao Zi was still worried.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Xuan Ting's eyes, "Then I will make him never open his mouth."

"Ah?" Tao Zi didn't understand.

"Where were you going just now?" Xuan Ting didn't intend to dwell on this topic, "I'll take you there."

It was only then that Tao Zi remembered that he had some important work to do, and it was all delayed by the canopy, "I'm going to Yuelao Palace."

Without saying a word, Xuan Ting led him to turn around, "In the future, if you encounter that bastard again, you will have to avoid it from a distance. If you really can't avoid it, you will beat him to death."

"I want to fight, but I can't!" Tao Zi was very helpless. If he didn't have any spells, he wouldn't be afraid of this and that in the heavenly court.

Xuan Ting paused, with a "sad" expression on his face, and suddenly said a word, "The future will last forever."

"Huh?" Tao Zi didn't understand again.

Before he could ask any more questions, Xuan Ting had already led him to the gate of Yuelao Palace.

"Here we are, go in." Xuan Ting stood at the door with his chest folded and stopped moving forward. "I'm here to watch over you."

Tao Zi shook his head, "Go back quickly, I can go back by myself later, can't the canopy block me all the way?"

"I know, go quickly." Xuan Ting gently pushed him forward, urging him to go quickly.

Tao Zi said goodbye to him, tidied up his clothes, and walked into the Moon Palace.

Yuelao's palace is different from other fairy palaces. There are red silk threads everywhere, all kinds of puppets, and three-life trees. At a glance, they are all red, which is very festive.

Tao Zi walked inside for a while and didn't see anyone, feeling a little puzzled.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" He stood in the hall, looked around, and asked aloud.

"I'm not human!" A crisp girl's voice sounded, with some displeasure.

Tao Zi turned around, and finally saw a little girl in red crouching under a tree among the piles of red threads, her head buried in her head, not knowing what she was doing.

"Hello, I would like to ask, is Yue Lao here?" Tao Zi took two steps forward and asked the girl.

"My master? Is he here? There is a marriage mess in the lower realm, and he has to deal with it!" The girl raised her head, showing a beautiful little face.

The red dress... girl, Tao Zi guessed that this must be the matchmaker next to Yuelao.

"Are you a matchmaker?"

The little girl had a surprised expression on her face, "How do you know my name?"

Tao Zi smiled softly, "It is said that there is a little girl in red beside Yuelao, who is dedicated to helping people draw red lines to send marriages. It must be you."

"For you have some eyesight." The matchmaker raised her head proudly, "Why do you want my master?"

"By Laojun's order, send something to Yuelao." Tao Zi replied solemnly, "Since Yuelao is not here, I will give it to you directly?"

The matchmaker tilted her head and thought for a while, "Okay, you take it here, and I will return it to my master."

Tiao Zi walked over, handed over the things in his arms, saw that the matchmaker did not leave in a hurry after accepting it, and squatted down curiously, seeing the matchmaker was busy in a mess of red threads, "Are you doing this?" what?"

The matchmaker's subordinates kept moving and replied without raising their heads: "Didn't you see? I'm trying to make a marriage match!"

"Reason?" Tao Zi didn't quite understand the word, "Do marriages need reasoning?"

"Of course!" The matchmaker said seriously, "If I don't tidy up these red threads, it's easy to cause serious trouble, you see!" She showed Tao Zi the puppets she was combing.

"This represents the four men and women in the mortal world."

Tao Zi looked carefully at the puppets in her hand, each of which had a red thread tied to its body, but these red threads had been entangled so many times that many knots were tied between the four.

"The love relationship between these people is very chaotic." The matchmaker pointed to one of them and said, "This person likes that, but that person prefers another, and the favored one pretends to be an irrelevant person in his heart, so this Several people are entangled together, more and more complicated, more and more chaotic, and finally become a dead knot."

The matchmaker's description is very vivid. Tao Zi's mind began to fill in the love and hatred of the four people in the mortal world. The first man loves the first woman, the first woman loves the second man, the second man loves the second woman, and the second woman loves the first man again. ...This is going to be made into a TV series, and it is estimated that there will be no more than [-] episodes.

Tao Zi looked at the messy red thread knot that made the scalp tingle, and then saw the matchmaker's skillful hands circling around, smoothing out the knotted place little by little, "Does untying a knot mean that there are fewer knots?" A relationship?"

"Almost." The matchmaker nodded, "Some knots are made by themselves, and if these knots are smoothed out little by little, the relationship between them will become weaker and weaker."

"It's getting shallower? Why isn't it getting smoother?"

"Because love doesn't go smoothly!" The matchmaker took it for granted, "There are twists and turns when there is a complex, and once the twists and turns are erased one by one, it is time for the red line to come to an end."

It's a very profound truth... Tao Zi was a little dizzy when he heard it.

The matchmaker was still dealing with the dead knot between the four of them, and she muttered to herself, "Oh, it's so annoying, why can't this knot be untied!"

Tao Zi watched her movements intently, the red lines between these four people were intricate, even if some small knots could be untied, there was still a big one that couldn't be untied.

The matchmaker hadn't figured it out for a long time. After thinking about it, she took one side and saw a "click", cut the knot in the middle, and then roughly tore off all the red threads on all the puppets.

"You, what are you doing?" Tao Zi quickly reached out to stop her.

The matchmaker patted his hand, "What do you know, if these people are entangled with each other, they will die endlessly, then it is not love, it is love! If I don't cut it off, something big will happen!"

"Then you cut all the red threads, what will happen?" Tao Zi asked carefully.

The matchmaker tilted her head and thought for a while, "I will forget the past, let's start over." She began to re-tie the new red threads on the four dolls, and then gently put them aside.

Tao Zi looked at those puppets and suddenly felt a little sad.

The four people who were still in love with each other just a second ago suddenly became strangers in an instant. None of them remembered who they had an unforgettable love with, so they could only start another relationship ignorantly under the hands of others. It's a bad new start.

Tao Zi is not from the Moon Palace, and he dare not comment on the matchmaker's actions, but from his own point of view, he doesn't really like this kind of emotional manipulation.

"Are all the marriages arranged by you?" Tao Zi suddenly asked again.

"How is it possible!" Hong Niang exclaimed, "There are so many people in this world, and Yuelao has to arrange them, and they will die of exhaustion!"

"There are many kinds of marriage and love in the world. One is destined by the heavens and no one can interfere, the other is arranged by Yuelao, and the other is born by oneself." The matchmaker explained.

"Can you give birth to red threads yourself?"

"Of course!" The matchmaker pointed to the puppets just now, "These puppets were born by themselves, mortals are very complicated, some of them don't obey the arrangement at all, and somehow they get out of the red line of marriage, but, they Most of them will mess up their feelings, and I need to sort them out at this time."

"If you can sort it out, you can sort it out, and if you can't sort it out, you can cut it and rearrange it."

Tao Zi sat on the side, listening to her without saying a word, and didn't know whether to sympathize with these people or be grateful.

"Marriage destined by heaven is the best, and Yue Lao has no right to care about it." The matchmaker hasn't chatted with anyone for a long time, and she wants to talk when she catches someone, "Generally, this kind of marriage is a good marriage!"

"Of course, Yuelao also arranges a good marriage, but occasionally there are some mistakes."

Tao Zi touched the pile of red threads at the matchmaker's feet, took out one of them and put it in the palm of his hand to look carefully. The red thread was indeed different from what he had seen before, and it was faintly glowing in his hand, "This red thread Can you give me one to play with?"

"Take it." The matchmaker waved her hand indifferently, "This thing is nothing interesting."

Tao Zi thought for a while and asked, "If I tie it to someone else, will it be useful?"

The matchmaker turned her head to look at him, and chuckled, "Of course it's useless! If it's so easy to bring two people together, then my place will be trampled down by outsiders, and everyone will take one to go Kidnapping others will cause chaos!"

"Beside the three-living tree, I can always hear the mortals in the lower world seeking marriage, seeking a good marriage, hehe... how can it be so easy, Yuelao will only judge based on the person, and will not care who you want. "

Tao Zi nodded silently, but still stuffed the red thread into his arms.

"I've been out for a long time, I have to go back to my life." He stood up and said to the matchmaker.

"Huh? You're leaving now!" Hong Niang reluctantly said, "It's been a long time since no one talked to me. It's so boring to be alone with so many messy red lines every day."

Tao Zi reached out and patted her on the head lightly, "I'll come to play with you next time."

When the matchmaker heard this, she smiled brightly, "You said that, remember to come next time!"

Tao Zi nodded, turned around and left Yuelao Palace.

Seeing him go, Hong Niang continued to lower her head to sort out her messy threads.

She took a look at the two puppets in the corner, and suddenly said to herself in amazement, "It's strange, why is this monkey tied to a person? When was it tied with the red string?"

The two puppets in Hong Niang's hands are similar in shape to other puppets, except that there is a shallow thin line between the two. Although it is not particularly clear, there are already signs.

The matchmaker couldn't figure out what was going on, so she simply threw it aside and let them develop on their own.

Wait until the day when you can't figure it out, just cut it.
