Chapter 75 Goddess of Mount Hua
Riding on the golden clouds of the Jade Terrace, Xu Xian gazed at Mount Hua in the distance and felt a surge of tension and—
excitement!
He already has a wife, so for him to come looking for the Third Holy Mother at this time is really a bit shameless.
Fortunately, in this day and age, it is not considered outrageous for a man to have three wives and four concubines.
The same applies to the gods of Luotian.
For example, the ancient god Di Jun had several wives, including Xihe, Changxi, and Ehuang.
Unfortunately, the current Heavenly Court is dominated by Taoist gods, most of whom are detached from worldly desires, so the scene of having multiple wives and concubines is not common.
Needless to say, in Buddhism, apart from the practice of Joyful Meditation, there are hardly any Buddhists who dare to break the precept against sexual misconduct.
This certainly wouldn't affect Xu Xian.
He stood atop the golden clouds of the Jade Terrace, contemplating the process of Liu Yanchang's meeting with the Third Holy Mother.
In short, Liu Yanchang, who was on his way to the capital for the imperial examination, came to the Temple of the Three Holy Mothers on Mount Hua to draw lots and inquire about his future.
As a result, the lecherous scholar saw that the statue of the Holy Mother of the Three Realms was very dignified and magnificent, and developed a great deal of admiration for it. So he wrote a poem on the wall to express his feelings.
When the Third Holy Mother returned to the palace and saw the poem, she was initially very ashamed and angry, and wanted to catch Liu Yanchang and teach him a lesson.
When they caught up, the Third Holy Mother saw that Liu Yanchang was handsome and charming, and she also developed a lot of affection for him.
The rest of the plot is almost identical to the scene when Bai Suzhen meets Xu Xian.
Similarly, the Three Holy Mothers used magic to create an opportunity for themselves to spend time with Liu Yanchang.
They poured out their hearts to each other and undressed.
Unfortunately, at this time, the Heavenly Laws still restricted mortals from marrying gods.
The Third Holy Mother violated the heavenly rules and was imprisoned in Mount Hua by Erlang Shen.
Next comes the well-known story of "The Lotus Lantern".
Xu Xian clicked his tongue, recalling the plot in his mind.
"The Weaver Girl, the Third Holy Mother—"
"What's wrong with all the celestial fairies? They're so depressing!"
Xu Xian made a couple of complaints, then used his divine eyes to look into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a handsome young man who looked like a scholar coming towards Mount Hua.
Liu Yanchang!
Xu Xian shook his head and created an avatar to block Liu Yanchang's path.
His true form descended from the clouds and arrived at the Temple of the Three Holy Mothers of Mount Hua.
Mount Hua is a famous mountain in the world, and the Three Holy Mothers are the main deities of Mount Hua.
As a result, the temples were bustling with activity and the incense was burning brightly.
Xu Xian stood in front of the water vat outside the temple, carefully examining his own appearance.
"Hmm, quite a handsome young man too~"
With everything ready, Xu Xian stepped into the temple.
The temple keeper watched the people coming and going, his face expressionless.
The temple keeper's eyes lit up when he saw Xu Xian.
He was elegant and dressed in fine clothes.
He is clearly a rich young master.
If we could get this rich young master to donate some money for incense offerings, perhaps we could rebuild the statue of the Holy Mother of the Three Realms.
This is a great act of merit.
Thinking of this, the temple keeper approached Xu Xian with a smile and asked, "What does this young master desire?"
Xu Xian looked at the statue of the Three Holy Mothers in the center of the palace and was filled with emotion.
She truly deserves to be the sister of Erlang Shen, the True Lord of Manifestation, and the niece of the Jade Emperor.
She truly is a dignified fairy, with beauty that could topple kingdoms!
Xu Xian smiled and replied to the temple keeper, "I've come to pray for a marriage."
The temple keeper's eyes lit up: "The Third Holy Mother has always loved to help mortals find a partner; you've come to the right place, young master."
Xu Xian certainly knew what the temple keeper was thinking.
He wanted to spend the night in the temple to compose a poem, and he needed the temple keeper's permission.
Offering incense money at this time will not only ensure you get lodging, but also attract the attention of the Holy Mother of the Three Realms.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Moreover, Xu Xian commands tens of thousands of demons, so he naturally has no shortage of gold and silver.
Therefore, without hesitation, he took out a gold ingot the size of a fist.
"This is a token of my appreciation; please accept it."
The temple keeper's eyes nearly popped out when he saw the large gold ingot.
He accepted the gold ingot with both hands and said with a smile, "Since you are so sincere, the Third Holy Mother will surely help you find a wonderful marriage."
"That's excellent."
Xu Xian nodded, expressing his intention to stay overnight and explaining that after securing a marriage, he would commission a golden statue of the Third Holy Mother.
The temple keeper was overjoyed and immediately arranged accommodations for Xu Xian and assigned people to serve him.
That night.
Xu Xian came to the temple alone.
The temple keeper had already gone to sleep, and the pilgrims had long since descended the mountain.
The main hall was somewhat empty at this time, with only the flickering candlelight.
Xu Xian looked at the statue of the Third Holy Mother and pondered for a moment.
The Lotus Lantern was a crucial part of his plan, capable of saving his life in the most dangerous situations.
Therefore, Xu Xian was extremely well prepared.
Tonight is the first step he takes to attract the Holy Mother of the Three.
Xu Xian stepped forward, picked up his brush, and wrote a poem on the wall.
Poem Inscribed at a Temple
The lotus lanterns on the forked road are all the more endearing; the beautiful eyebrows must be furrowed in the face of chaos and separation.
Mochou Jade Maiden Peak is cold, yet there are still herb gatherers from Tiantai.
This poem was originally written by Liu Yanchang. In it, he expresses his admiration for the Three Holy Mothers who hold lotus lanterns to help people in need.
It appears subtle yet sincere.
After finishing his poem, Xu Xian didn't linger; he went straight back to his room to sleep.
The next day, servants, transformed from his alter egos, carried two large chests to the Temple of the Three Holy Mothers.
Xu Xian bowed to the temple keeper and said, "I apologize for the inconvenience of staying here for the night. Please accept this small gift."
The temple keeper looked at the two heavy boxes, his eyes narrowing into slits: "Nonsense, nonsense."
Xu Xian chatted with the temple keeper for a few more minutes, then took his leave.
This time, he didn't fly through the clouds.
Instead, they simply enjoyed sightseeing around Mount Hua like ordinary mortals.
Meanwhile, we wait quietly.
Xu Xian knew that the Third Holy Mother would definitely come looking for him!
Mount Hua, Temple of the Three Holy Mothers.
When the Holy Mother of the Three returned from her travels, she indeed saw the poem inscribed on the wall, "Staying Overnight at the Temple".
She parted her lips slightly and slowly recited the poem, lost in thought.
Inside the temple, the temple keepers were also busy.
However, being mere mortals, they had no idea that the Holy Mother of the Three Kingdoms had returned; they simply moved the gold nuggets from the chests while marveling at their return.
"Young Master Xu is indeed generous; these two chests of gold are enough to make a golden statue of the Third Holy Mother."
"There are truly remarkable people in this world, just like Young Master Xu."
"Not only are the poems excellent, but the author is also so generous."
"Let this poem remain on the wall for other worshippers to admire."
The temple keepers were busy, while the Holy Mother of the Three Realms remained even more engrossed.
She is a celestial goddess who helps mortals overcome their troubles.
Ordinary people held her in the highest esteem, yet no one dared to inscribe a poem in her temple.
Moreover, the content of this poem—
While it was certainly sincere, it also expressed a hint of admiration.
This is absolutely infuriating!
but----
The Holy Mother of the Three Kingdoms looked at the two chests of gold below, and imagined her own golden statue in her mind, her face unconsciously turning red.
This is a gilded statue, quite impressive indeed.
While the poem may seem somewhat abrupt, it is nonetheless quite elegant in its literary merit.
"Find that guy, give him a little lesson, and that'll be enough."
Thinking of this, the Holy Mother of the Three Kingdoms opened her divine eyes and carefully looked at the faint traces of divine charm left in the poem.
"Oh, is it nearby?"
The Three Holy Mothers radiated a glow as they gracefully departed from the temple.
Sure enough, not far from Mount Hua, they saw Xu Xian rowing a boat.
With his back to the Third Holy Mother, Xu Xian murmured a leisurely ballad: "Lotus can be picked in Jiangnan, the lotus leaves are so lush and green, fish play among the lotus leaves—"
"Hmph, this guy!"
The Holy Mother muttered something, then vanished and flew to Xu Xian's side.
"Quietly push this guy into the water, then pull him out and let him get soaked to the bone!"
"I really am a kind goddess~"
"hey-hey."
The Holy Mother chuckled twice and then beckoned a gentle breeze.
Xu Xian felt a gentle breeze behind him and turned around in confusion, only to find that there was nothing behind him.
Xu Xian suddenly turned around, which startled the Third Holy Mother.
Because the two were too close together.
Xu Xian and the Third Holy Mother almost touched nose to nose.
Xu Xian was born with feminine features and was extremely handsome.
In addition, after a century of cultivation, he possesses an otherworldly air.
Let alone ordinary mortal women, even true celestial beings would probably have to sigh in admiration.
What a handsome young man!
The Third Holy Mother's heart raced as she looked at Xu Xian's face.
According to the meaning of the poem, the handsome scholar in front of him was very fond of him.
If that's the case—
No no no!
Holy Mother, wake up! This is a violation of heavenly law!
Although I've long heard that love in the mortal world is wonderful, I absolutely must not touch it!
Otherwise, your uncle and brother will not forgive you!
Give up on that idea!
The Three Holy Mothers are torn between heaven and earth, resisting the temptations of the evil little man in their minds.
Xu Xian turned around and looked back, a bewildered expression on his face.
In reality, however, he was starting to lose his composure.
As a highly skilled cultivator, he had naturally discovered the presence of the Third Holy Mother and could even clearly see her expression.
Xu Xian never imagined that the Third Holy Mother of this world would be so—
Playful!
Seeing the beautiful goddess's face turn pale and then red, sometimes rosy, sometimes clenching her teeth.
That's really interesting.
Xu Xian forced himself to suppress his laughter.
Continue pretending to row.
The Holy Mother of the Three Kingdoms finally made up her mind.
"The Holy Mother of the Third, you are a steadfast goddess!"
"Why not just push this guy down and then rescue him?"
"Don't hesitate, make your move!"
"Absolutely no violation of the cardinal rules!"
Thinking of this, the Third Holy Mother let out a delicate shout.
"Hey!"
She then stretched out her slender, green hands and pushed them straight towards Xu Xian.
Xu Xian suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him, almost blowing him into the water.
He instinctively reached out and grabbed the soft hand of the Holy Mother of the Third.
Get it right!
Xu Xian was secretly delighted, but outwardly showed a look of surprise.
He fell into the water with a splash.
When Xu Xian touched the Third Holy Mother's hand, her face turned red and her body stiffened.
Unconsciously swaying, it also fell into the water.
Two ripples spread across the water —
