Moon Tower

In the south of the heaven, in the peach blossom forest north of the Suzaku Palace, there is the Tiangong Moon Tower.

Yuehe Xianweng was dressed in white with thousands of red threads entwined on it. He held a red sandalwood cane in his hand, with red tassels flowing down smoothly, swaying with his slow steps. He walked to the stone bench under the peach tree and called a child to take out the fine wine sealed under the peach tree as usual. He had asked Laojun for this wine a few days ago, and he even did him a favor for this jar of wine. Everyone in the heavens knew that Yuehe Xianweng was the most greedy for wine.

The fairy boy took out the wine from under the tree, placed exquisite snacks and side dishes on the stone table, then opened the jar and took out the wine, placing it in a celadon bowl. The clear aroma of the wine instantly filled the entire mountain.

Yue Hexianweng laughed so hard that the crescent mark on his forehead wrinkled. He walked to the stone bench and sat down. He picked up the wine bowl and smelled it. He sighed deeply, and it seemed that even the wrinkles on his face were smoothed out a lot.

Just as he was about to taste the wine, he suddenly heard the fairy boy beside him screaming;

"Oh, Immortal, something fell from the sky"

The fairy boy raised his eyes inadvertently and saw a spherical object falling towards them rapidly in the sky above his head. The direction was exactly the peach tree where Yue Lao was, and he screamed in surprise.

Yuehe did not move, but pointed the crutch in his hand towards the peach tree above his head. He saw branches and vines winding down, crisscrossing and catching the falling object in a thrilling manner.

The immortal slowly put down the wine bowl beside his mouth, with a smile on his kind face. He looked soothingly at the fairy boy who was still a little frightened, then stood up to see what he had caught on the branch.

When the fairy boy recovered, he heard the fairy's slightly puzzled voice:

"Hey, whose baby is this?"

The fairy boy was startled, and hurried over to take a look. It turned out that the one wrapped in the green vines was indeed a baby girl wrapped in a quilt. She had a pretty face, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and a charming look in her eyes. It was obvious that she was a beauty.

She was actually awake at the moment, her pair of peach blossom eyes looking at the kind-looking white-bearded old man in front of her, blinking. The baby girl's gaze was fixed on the red line on Yuehe Xianweng's sleeve. She stretched out her little hand and babbled as if she wanted to say something. Yuehe tentatively stretched out his arm in front of him. The baby girl grabbed the red line on Yuehe's sleeve and grinned.

Yuehe Xianweng's heart moved, and he reached out to pick her up. Seeing that she was also a promising young girl, he felt pity for her. He calculated that this child seemed to be destined for him, so he decided to keep her.

The immortal elder handed the child to the immortal boy and said, "You can keep this child here. You can prepare a room for her in the Moon Tower. From now on, she will belong to my Moon Tower."

"Yes. The Immortal Elder saw that she didn't seem to be a famous person, so how should he address her in the future?"

Yuehe Xianweng thought for a moment, and recalled the brilliance in the child's eyes, "Let's call her Yuehua. Her nickname is Liuxi."

Even though she was recalling this now, Yuehua was still grateful to the old man. If he had not saved her, taken good care of her, and taught her the way of cultivation, she would have been able to ascend to heaven when she was 50,000 years old.

Yuehua stood in front of the half-open wooden door, looking at the sleeping old man in the bright moonlight. Her face, which had been smiling but not smiling, curled up a little, and she felt warm. She sighed softly in her heart. No matter how annoying he was at this moment, Yuehua knew that he was probably the only person in the world who cared for her with all his heart.

Closing the door gently, Yuehua turned and walked towards her room, not noticing that the old man who should have been asleep in the room behind her opened his eyes, turned his head in the direction she left and looked for a while, then turned over contentedly and fell asleep again.

The next day, Yuehua woke up from her sleep early in the morning, got out of bed and packed their luggage. They had stayed in the mortal world for three months, and now was the day to return. Since she ascended to heaven, Yue Lao would take her down to the mortal world every once in a while to teach her about worldly affairs, and then slowly let her go to help people find relationships and handle marriage matters.

Even so, Yuehua still feels that she has not fully understood the affairs of the world. People are greedy, and this is their nature. Many tangled marriages are just because they can't get what they want, but they are unwilling to let go. In other words, it is obsession. Obsession with love, and obsession with hatred. But there are still so many infatuated people who have been waiting for three lives in vain, but can't return.

She still remembered what Yue Lao said to her before he taught her how to manage her marriage.

You are the matchmaker of the world. Marriage has been destined since ancient times. You cannot change fate against fate or change the fate of others without authorization. Marriage is a matter of fate. The love of past lives cannot be changed. Everything starts with fate and ends with fate. Even if you can't bear it, you can only let it develop.

And she always remembered.

"Liu Xi, have you packed?" Yue Hexian, who was in the human world, was wearing ordinary clothes, but he looked much better than his usual frivolous appearance. Perhaps he was thinking about the fine wine he had buried under the peach tree, so every time he returned home, he was all smiles and looked much more energetic than usual.

Yuehua raised the corners of her lips helplessly. She was wearing a simple red dress at this moment, which made her face look more beautiful and otherworldly. Her pair of peach blossom eyes were smiling affectionately, yet ruthlessly. The arc of her lips was just right and perfect. Her hair fell straight down when she stood, and fluttered when she moved, which made her look extremely charming.

After thanking the hostel, Yuehua followed Yue Lao out. When they were almost in front of the wooden door, they suddenly heard the sound of wind whirring and the sound of chaotic running footsteps coming from far away. The next moment, the wooden door in front of them was opened wide, and a disheveled, frightened scholar stumbled in and slammed the door behind him.

Yuehua stopped and walked to the front of Yue Lao to protect him, then raised her eyes to the man who was still panting behind the door, "Who are you and why are you so panicked?"

The scholar was startled when he heard someone asking him a question. He didn't expect to meet someone. After a while, he gasped and spoke, with an obvious tremor of fear in his voice, "There is a monster chasing me. She said she wanted to eat me."

Yuehua was about to ask when she felt a dangerous aura approaching them. She reached out and pulled the scholar behind her, and drew a line between the door and them with two fingers. A wall of light glowing red appeared.

The next second, something extremely fast hit her wall of light.

The red thread in Yuehua's hand became a magic weapon to defeat the enemy, and she tied it tightly before the thing could react. When the light faded, everyone saw clearly that the thing tied on the ground was a fox demon, who was forced to half reveal its true form by the magic. Its hair was scattered, revealing its furry ears, and its fluffy tail was also revealed behind its light blue dress.

The fox demon's eyes were locked behind Yuehua, with tears in her eyes, "Why are you hiding from me?"

Yuehua saw sadness in the fox demon's eyes. She turned around and looked at Yue Lao. The marriage between these two people must not be simple.

Yuehe Xianweng nodded to her, and suddenly a bright light appeared on their bodies. After a moment, they returned to their original appearance. They were Yue Lao, who was in charge of marriages in the world, and Yuehua, the next owner of Yue Tower, who was dressed in red. Yue Lao said to the scholar who had been begging them to save him, "My lord, your marriage in this life should have been promised to this fox demon."

The scholar opened his eyes wide in disbelief. Yue Lao turned to look at the fox demon lying on the ground, and continued, "Three lives on the stone. In the first life, you made an engagement with her, but after you became the top scorer in the imperial examination, you married someone else for her beauty. You betrayed her. In the second life, you had originally married her and made a lifelong vow, but you couldn't stand the poverty and ran to the temple to become a monk, leaving her alone for a hundred years. You betrayed her again."

Yue Lao's gaze fell back on the scholar, "You have failed her in both of your lives. You should repay her in this life."

The scholar was stunned and his expression changed several times. Finally, he stood up straight and bowed slightly to Yue Lao. "My Immortal, if it is said to be in the past life, it should have nothing to do with this life. Even if I did let her down in the past life, I already have a loved one in this life, and we are already married. I must not let her down in this life because of something in the past life."

After that, he bowed in the direction of the fox demon, "If I must repay this girl's kindness, please wait for one more life. I will definitely wait for you in the underworld." Then he raised his face, "If not, please ask Yue Lao to find a way to end my relationship with this girl so that she can find another good man."

Yue Lao looked at his determined face and said nothing for a long time, as if he was thinking. Yue Hua followed the scholar's wrist and was surprised to see that in addition to the red thread with the fox demon, there was another extremely delicate red thread on his wrist.

"Moonlight"

"Yes" Yuehua heard Yue Lao calling her and turned around to wait for his instructions. The love of three lives must be repaid in this life. This scholar's marriage can only be with this fox demon. The other love can only be repaid in the next life.

"You go and cut the red thread between the two of them." Yuehua looked up in shock, but only saw Yue Lao's kind eyes, with unquestionable firmness.

t:gt:

Yuehua even suspected that she had heard it wrong. How could Yue Lao, who always paid attention to the laws of heaven, make such a decision at such a critical moment? Moreover, the woman had waited for the "immortal" for three lifetimes.

"Yuehua, there's no need to say more. I will tell you the reason later. Let's start first." Yue Lao interrupted Yuehua's unfinished words in a rare and tough manner, with severity in his gentle eyes.

Yuehua glanced at the fox demon. She seemed to understand that this was the only way for her to go, so she closed her eyes and didn't want to look at the scholar again.

The scholar showed a pleasant surprise on his face and bowed to Yue Lao, "Thank you for your help." "I will never let my beloved down in this life on my birthday."

Yuehua took one last look at the fox demon, hardened her heart, silently chanted a spell, and a red light flashed across the fingertips of her right hand, and she had already grasped the long sword in her hand. This Moyuan sword was also given to her by Yue Lao. When the Moyuan sword was used, the thread of marriage was severed, and from then on, the lover and the man were separated from each other, and there was no need to ask about life and death.

She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she could clearly see the thread of destiny connecting the two of them. The silver blade of Mo Yuan Sword slashed quickly in the air, and the thread of destiny was cut in two in front of everyone. The fox demon seemed to have known that there was no hope for the situation, and did not resist. He just stared blankly at the thread of destiny being cut in two.

Yue Lao glanced at the fox demon, and then said to the scholar, "Go back. Since you already have someone you love in this life, don't let her down again."

Yuehua watched the scholar leave gratefully, and she couldn't help feeling a little sympathy for the fox demon. For some reason, the first time she saw this fox demon, she felt that she had a temperament similar to her own, but she couldn't figure out where the similarities were.

She took back the red thread from the fox demon, walked over and helped her up from the ground, "Are you okay?"

Looking closely, the fox demon was also a beauty, born gentle and lovely, but unfortunately her marriage was not good. Yuehua was lost in thought, and suddenly heard the fox demon muttering to herself, "From now on, will I not even be able to remember him?"

Yuehua was stunned, thinking that she was too sad. She was about to speak to comfort her again, but Yue Lao spoke first. "My child," he took two steps forward, smiling kindly, "Buddha said that all phenomena are the result of cause and condition. When the cause and condition arise, they arise, and when the cause and condition end, they cease to exist. It is nothing more than this. Since you have severed your relationship with him, it means that the relationship has ended. You should find a good man as soon as possible."

"My dear..." The fox demon laughed sarcastically after hearing Yue Lao's words, "I have been born alone since I was young. People around me died or left. I have been alone for more than a thousand years. Where can I find a dear?"

Her eyes were filled with pain. "I have only loved this one person for a thousand years. I wanted to grow old with him, but fate has determined that we must be separated. Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to say."

She turned around very slowly and walked out step by step. "My time is coming to an end. I thought I could be with him in this life. I didn't expect it. It's a good thing that he can live a happy life."

Yuehua stared blankly at the fox demon walking away, and her last words were still echoing in her mind. She felt sad. How could people in the world be so heartless? How could they bear to let down a woman like this?

Yuehe Xianweng looked at Yuehua's appearance and knew that some things had to be made clear. "Liuxi, let's go back."

He called the deer cart, and after the spirit deer landed steadily in front of them, he sat on it first, looked at Yuehua who was still there, and sighed, "I will tell you the reason on the way back."

Yuehua stroked the warm and dry fur of the spirit deer, but she still felt a chill in her heart when she heard Yue Lao say those things in person.

"The reason why I agreed to let the scholar sever the relationship between us was not because he asked me to, but because their marriage was destined to be fruitless." Yue Hexian Weng stroked his white beard slowly and said.

"That scholar was supposed to have a three-life relationship with the fox demon, but for some reason, the other red string tied around his wrist in this life turned out to be his destined person."

Yuehua opened her eyes wide in surprise, "The destined person means that his marriage in this life was arranged by God a long time ago."

Yue Lao nodded, "In fact, the destined person is what ordinary people call a love match. This marriage was predetermined by heaven a long time ago. Despite all the hardships they have gone through, they will still grow old together and love each other deeply. So the fox demon's waiting is just adding to the hardships. It is better to let her be free as soon as possible."

Yuehua knew that what Yue Lao said was absolutely true, but she still felt sympathy for the fox demon who waited for three days but still ended up forgetting her love.

"not to mention"

"What?" Yuehua saw that Yue Lao had not finished speaking, so she turned her head curiously and looked at him. This time, for some reason she noticed that Yue Lao's eyes were softer than usual, as if he was afraid that she could not bear it.
