Chapter 11: The Arrival of Nuwa
Chapter 11: The Arrival of Nuwa
Then the Three Pure Ones followed Guangchengzi into the thatched cottage.
Although this thatched cottage is not as magnificent and majestic as the palace, it has its own free and easy mood, which makes the Three Pure Ones feel happy.
The so-called monks should sit on the blue stone, face the clear moon, and sleep in the cool breeze. Only then can they be free and easy. Sitting in the palace all day long will create a decadent atmosphere, which will make people degenerate and is not good.
Yuanshi Tianzun sat on the cushion on the left. He saw that although everything in front of him was simple, it had everything he needed. Guangchengzi did not sit down without permission, but stood by and served him. He could not help but feel satisfied with this disciple.
In addition to these innate gods, Tongtian also accepted many disciples on Kunlun Mountain.
Tongtian only accepted three personal disciples, but he had quite a few outer disciples. Unlike the strictness with which he accepted personal disciples, Tongtian accepted outer disciples simply at random.
Tongtian even dared to accept the koi and toads from the spiritual springs as his disciples, which made Yuanshi Tianzun very unhappy. He thought that accepting these creatures born from eggs in the wet world was an insult to the name of their Pangu sect.
But Tongtian said: "All the prehistoric worlds were created by Father God Pangu. Whether they were born from eggs or born from nature, they were also created by Father God. Why should we discriminate against them?"
Yuanshi Tianzun had no choice but to give up, but seeing Guangchengzi doing things so methodically, he began to feel a little bit of suspicion.
"Guang Chengzi, I have a question for you. If I asked you to accept a disciple, would you choose to do it casually or would you choose carefully?"
Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly asked a question, and Guangchengzi didn't dare to answer it casually. After all, this was the first time his master asked him a question, and he couldn't give a casual answer.
If the answer was not good, it would easily displease Yuanshi Tianzun. He did not want to become the Three-Nothing True Man, so he immediately began to think carefully.
After hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's words, Laozi and Tongtian also opened their eyes.
Unlike Tongtian who was full of energy, Laozi sighed secretly, knowing that his two younger brothers had started arguing again.
However, Yuanshi Tianzun raised this question through his disciple, so Laozi couldn't say much. He could only hope that Guangchengzi could give a best of both worlds answer.
Guang Chengzi thought for a long time before he said solemnly, "I think if you want to accept a disciple, you should choose carefully."
Yuanshi Tianzun was satisfied after hearing this, but Tongtian objected and said, "Guangchengzi, you know that all sentient beings in the world can be human beings. Since we are all human beings, why bother about the so-called gains and losses? Wouldn't it be better to let heaven and earth grant you a disciple? Aren't you the disciple bestowed by Honghuang to my second brother? Isn't this the fate of heaven and earth?"
Tongtian's words were extremely tricky. One must know that Yuanshi Tianzun usually believed in following the will of heaven. If Guangchengzi gave a bad answer, he would easily disobey Yuanshi Tianzun.
But if you overturn the previous answer, it may easily lead to being suspected of deceiving Yuanshi Tianzun, so neither option is good.
After hearing this, Guang Chengzi said solemnly, "Reporting to Third Uncle Master, the so-called heaven-sent marriage also needs to be grasped by human hands. Heaven and earth have given me the opportunity to meet the three Heavenly Lords, but if I do not behave properly and act recklessly, how can I enter the eyes of Master Master? If I just follow the will of heaven, wouldn't I become a puppet of heaven and earth? So when grasping the good marriage, you must also have self-awareness. Good or bad luck is only a thought away, and the great way is only a thought away."
"Well said! Well said, good fortune or adversity is only a thought away, and the great way is only a thought away."
As soon as Guangchengzi finished speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian had not yet opened their mouths when a very pleasant female voice came to their ears.
Hearing this female voice, the Three Pure Ones all stood up, and Laozi said from a distance: "Daoist friend Nuwa, since you are here, why don't you show yourself?"
Nuwa! Upon hearing this name, Guangchengzi, even though he had long forgotten his memories of being a human, still moved all over and turned his head to see a woman who had been standing outside the thatched cottage for who knows how long.
The beauty of this woman's face cannot be described in words. Even Pangu's majesty softened the moment he approached this woman, and even the heaven and earth were overwhelmed by her.
It is an insult to use words like "beauty that can shame the moon and flowers", "beauty that can sink fish and geese to fall", and "beauty that can overwhelm a country" to describe her.
But when I first saw this woman, the first thing I saw was not her beautiful face, but her extremely compassionate temperament.
She is like everyone's mother, kind and gentle, compassionate, and she cannot bear to hurt anyone, because in her eyes everyone is beautiful, perfect, and cannot be hurt.
Only a woman like this is worthy of the title of Nuwa.
Nuwa smiled and nodded, saying, "It's not that I deliberately hid it, but I was alarmed by this young friend's words, and was blocked by Hou Tu and Xuan Ming, so it was a little late. I think your name is Guang Cheng Zi?"
Guangchengzi was also impressed by this extremely compassionate temperament. He bowed and saluted, saying, "Guangchengzi greets Goddess Nuwa."
Nuwa laughed: "Empress? You are really interesting. I am indeed an empress. This is our first meeting, so I don't have anything to give you. This is a little toy I found on the road, so I'll give it to you to play with."
After saying that, Nuwa took out a stone and threw it to Guangchengzi.
Guangchengzi took the stone with both hands and saw that the stone was of nine colors with many cracks of different colors on it. It was not artificially carved nor was it a minor flaw in the gem, but it was naturally so.
These cracks are arranged in a very regular pattern, vaguely forming the appearance of a goddess, who is 70% similar to Nuwa.
And within this nine-colored stone, there is nearly endless life energy. After only holding it in his hand for a moment, Guangchengzi felt that the immortal gold nature in his body was replenished. It can be seen that this is not the little gadget that Nuwa mentioned, but a great treasure.
Seeing that Nuwa was talking with the Three Pure Ones, Guangchengzi probed his spiritual consciousness into the nine-colored stone and immediately saw a series of restrictions that were constantly overlapping.
After a rough count, there are no less than thirty.
"Nuwa is really generous. She actually gave me a top-grade innate spiritual treasure right away."
Guang Chengzi sighed, then looked at the nine-colored stone in his hand and said, "From now on, you will be called Nuwa Stone."
The precious light on the Nuwa Stone flashed slightly, as if responding to the name.
Nuwa paused in her conversation, looked back at Guangchengzi, and couldn't help but smile: "Daoyou Yuanshi has accepted a good disciple. Not only is he smart, but he also does things in an orderly manner. It makes me want to accept a disciple as well."
Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes were full of pride and smugness. After hearing this, he just smiled slightly and did not want to be overly humble. He thought that what Nuwa said was indeed correct.
However, they did not forget what Nuwa had said before. Tongtian asked, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, were you intercepted by those ancient witches before?"
