Chapter 1620: Leaving for the Beauty; the Beauty Is Fake, the Craftsmanship Is Real (End)
Unconsciously, it has been three months since the war that shocked the three worlds, three months in the heavens.
Three months ago, Huan Yin finally turned the tide with his own strength, and completely eliminated the Overlord with the sword of asking for the way, helping the entire three worlds eliminate the biggest crisis since the birth of the three worlds, saving the world and the three worlds from the end of the world. It is also because of this that Huan Yin became famous in the three worlds with one battle, and became a figure like the god of war in the three worlds, worshipped and admired by hundreds of millions of people, and even children in the secular world knew the name of Huan Yin, the Lord of the Heavens.
However, since that battle, no one has seen Huan Yin again. The warriors were once in panic and sorrow, and some people speculated that Huan Yin chose to die with the Overlord in order to defeat the Overlord, so it was impossible for him to return to people.
Fortunately, three days after the war, Donghuang Yuer received a message from Huan Yin, and learned that Huan Yin immediately chose to retreat after defeating the Overlord, and clearly stated that it would take three months. Donghuang Yuer was relieved and quickly told everyone the news.
So the three realms were jubilant for a while, and all the warriors were in tears. Everyone thought that as long as Huanyin was still alive, it would be great. Huanyin chose to retreat because he had consumed too much energy in the last battle with the overlord. If he did not retreat in time, he might be in danger. Retreat became a reasonable thing in the eyes of everyone, and everything was clear.
Huanyin had paid so much for the three realms, and people were determined to do something for Huanyin. After a discussion, everyone finally decided to gather everyone's strength and rebuild Shanxian City and Shengshu Palace during Huanyin's retreat, so that Huanyin could see a brand new Shanxian City when he came out of retreat in three months, and officially ascended the throne as the Emperor of Heaven in Shengshu Palace again, unifying the heavens.
In this way, a huge project with a time limit of only three months began.
Shanxian City was devastated by the Soul Devouring Realm, and it could be said that it was completely destroyed. It was impossible to completely repair it within a mere three months. But since that great war, the three realms of heaven, man, and earth have been united, and the Taoist friends in the two realms of human and earth are also grateful to Huanyin, so in the end even the two major realm masters Lu Ya and Dizang of the human world and hell temporarily stayed in the heaven to help rebuild Shanxian City.
The Taoist friends of the three realms are united, and with the full help of the two major realm masters, the effect is different. In addition, in order to thank Huanyin, people even put aside their recovery temporarily, and worked enthusiastically and passionately, and the effect was even more extraordinary. What's more, there are still people in the heaven who volunteered to come from all directions and eight days just to help rebuild Shanxian City.
In three months, Shanxian City can be said to be different every day. Until half a month ago, Shengshu Palace was completely rebuilt, and this project was nearing its end.
Compared with the Shanxian City of that year, what was snatched out in three months is naturally far less. But this is already a rare surprise, and everyone believes that Huanyin will be greatly surprised and very happy. Moreover, everyone has taken special efforts to take care of Shengshu Palace. Today, Shengshu Palace can be said to have almost completely restored its original appearance when Huanyin was in power, and in some aspects it is even better. This should make Huanyin even happier.
Making Huanyin happy and making Huanyin happy is the focus of people's busyness in the past three months. Because after three months, Huanyin will come out of retreat, which is recognized as the ceremony of Huanyin's return to the throne. This is the ceremony that everyone has thought of for Huanyin a long time ago, and it is their gift to Huanyin, the great hero. Shengshu Palace, the venue of this ceremony, also received special care during the reconstruction.
In the last half month, in addition to continuing to finish some of the projects, many people have begun to prepare for the ceremony for Huanyin. This ceremony is regarded by the subjects of the heaven as the first grand ceremony of all time, because after helping to complete the reconstruction, the Taoist friends of the human world and the Taoist friends of the hell decided to stay and watch the ceremony, even the two world masters. Of course, it is also because the protagonist of the ceremony is Huanyin!
In this way, time finally came to today - the day when Huan Yin came out of retreat, and it was also the day that everyone had planned to hold the coronation ceremony for Huan Yin.
Early in the morning, the Shengshu Palace Square, which had been decorated extremely gorgeously and festively, was already a little crowded. You know, the Shengshu Palace Square can be used for garrisoning, so you can imagine how many people are on the square now, and how many people want to watch this unprecedented holy ceremony. Huan Yin's current influence can also be seen.
However, although there are many people, everyone is courteous to each other and in order. Whether standing or sitting, or in front or behind, everything has been arranged. Everyone is happy and happy.
As for the Shengshu Palace, it is empty at the moment. The hall has been specially taken care of and decorated, waiting for its new owner to step into it first, and then everyone will follow.
The Taoist friends from the three realms are now acquaintances, and they are also life and death friends who have struggled together in blood, so even if the ceremony has not started, everyone is not restrained and has already started chatting. Such a scene is even more joyous and harmonious.
It is not difficult to imagine that today's ceremony will be remembered by the three realms like Huanyin, and the scenery will be passed down to future generations and become a good story.
However, such a harmonious atmosphere gradually began to change with the passage of time. It is not because the relationship between people has changed, nor because people are only friendly on the surface, but because time has passed too long without realizing it. Everyone looked up at the sky and found that noon was approaching.
Today is the day Huanyin promised to come out of retreat, and it is also Huanyin's coronation ceremony. But Huanyin has not shown up yet, which makes everyone a little anxious, and there are more speculations and thoughts in their hearts.
Donghuang Yuer stood at the front, calming the whole audience and calming everyone. Although she was not officially given the title of "Mother of the Realm" by Huanyin, she had already been the mother of the realm. Everyone knew that Huanyin's appointment of Donghuang Yuer as the queen was probably the first thing after he ascended the throne. So Donghuang Yuer temporarily took over the overall situation on behalf of Huanyin, and no one dared to disobey.
Donghuang Yuer also did a good job. She was thoughtful and took the overall situation into consideration. She had already had the style of a mother of the world. In addition, on her left and right sides, the Lord of the Human Realm Lu Ya and the Lord of the Hell Realm Dizang were seated safely, which was also a kind of deterrence. Therefore, there was no chaos on the scene.
However, the protagonist is always Huanyin. If Huanyin does not appear for a moment, no one can really calm the emotions of everyone present. When there was only half an hour left before noon, the whispers and discussions in the venue could no longer be suppressed. At this time, Donghuang Yuer also felt that something was wrong, so she quietly asked her son Huan Yu to slip out of the square to find his father who had not yet come out of seclusion to see what was going on.
Just like that, half an hour later, noon came, Huan Yu turned around, walked into the gate of Shengshu Palace Square with a somewhat panicked look, holding a golden jade slip in his hand.
Everyone seemed to have thought of something, so they consciously opened a path for Huan Yu, allowing Huan Yu to hurriedly come to Donghuang Yuer. Then Huan Yu handed the jade slip in his hand to Donghuang Yuer, and stood aside without saying a word.
Donghuang Yuer took the golden jade slip, and when she touched it, the familiar feeling of Huan Yin came to her body. At this moment, she seemed to have thought of something, her face was slightly pale, and her body was trembling. But she knew that now was not the time to relax, so she finally opened the jade slip in front of everyone. After taking a closer look, she, as smart as she was, understood everything in an instant...
Donghuang Yu'er finally couldn't bear it anymore, and her body almost went limp. Fortunately, Huan Yu, who was beside her, supported her, so that she didn't lose her composure in front of so many people. But this subtle movement could not escape the eyes of the two realm masters beside her, so they looked at her slightly sideways.
Finally, Donghuang Yu'er finally forced herself to walk up the steps of Shengshu Palace alone, and stood in front of the hall so that everyone could see her at a glance.
Then she took a deep breath, raised the golden jade slip in her hand high, pulled it open, and said loudly: "The Emperor of Heaven has ordered, and all the ministers accept it!"
As soon as the words fell, all the cultivators in the audience, no matter which realm they came from, knelt down. Even Lu Ya of the human world and Ksitigarbha of Hell stood up, not kneeling, but with solemn expressions, nodding their heads.
Those in the heaven are the people, and those kneeling are the emperors. The Taoist friends in the human world and hell knelt down to their savior, the great hero.
"Appoint Donghuang Yu'er as..." Donghuang Yu'er knew she shouldn't stop talking, but she couldn't help but pause, and her face became paler. Then she continued: "As the Empress Dowager, the mother of the world, in charge of the inner court!"
After this sentence fell, the whole audience was shocked, and even Lu Ya and Dizang looked sideways again. They thought they had heard an extra "Tai" and looked at each other, but found that they were awake.
That's right, Donghuang Yu'er held the imperial jade slip written by Huan Yin himself. And she was the first to be conferred, but she was not the queen, but the queen dowager!
"Appoint Ye Wuyou as the Asura King and the Protector of the Country, commanding the Asura Taoists, and leading two million soldiers to protect the master and the country!" Donghuang Yu'er's voice finally continued, and also suppressed the discussion below.
Ye Wuyou had already felt something, but since it was the eldest brother's intention, he should obey. So he walked out of the crowd, bowed respectfully at the steps of the hall, and said loudly: "Thank you, Emperor!"
"Appoint Xuanwu as the guardian of Shanxian City and the Grand Marshal of the Protectorate, leading a million soldiers to defend the country!"
"Xuanwu thanks the emperor for his gift!"
"Appoint Bai Kui as the guardian of Shanxian City and the commander of the Shengshu Palace Guards, leading 500,000 guards and loyally protecting the master!"
"Bai Kui thanks you!"
"Appoint Tong Dong as the Grand Marshal of the Eastern Eight Heavens and the Great Heavenly King, stabilizing the area and benefiting the people!"
"Tong Dong obeys the order!"
"Appoint Hu Zi as the Grand Marshal of the Western Eight Heavens and the Great Heavenly King, stabilizing the area and benefiting the people!"
...
The imperial decrees are still continuing, and Huan Yin's thoughtful considerations are eye-catching. This gave everyone a feeling that Huan Yin's three months of seclusion did not seem to be healing, but considering the various contents of the jade slip in Donghuang Yu'er's hand.
Donghuang Yuer had been reading out various titles for nearly half an hour, and it was not over yet. Too many people knelt down at the bottom of the Shengshu Palace to accept the gift. They were the meritorious officials of the final battle, and like Huanyin, they were also heroes who had contributed too much to the Three Realms, and they deserved to be rewarded!
Donghuang Yuer finally paused until nearly a hundred people had knelt down at the bottom of the hall, and then everyone saw that Donghuang Yuer's expression suddenly dimmed a little, and then read: "Posthumously confer Yue Fengyun the title of the Great Marshal of Demon Slayer and the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, and future generations will enjoy this honor forever!"
Yue Xiaoxian stood up, knelt down at the bottom of the hall crying, and could not get up after bowing.
"Posthumously confer Shi Tian and Ying Jue the title of the Great Marshal of Rebellion Suppression and the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage!"
No one stood up this time, but everyone's face was filled with sorrow, and no one spoke again.
"Posthumously confer Situ Miaoshou the title of the Great Marshal of Rebellion Suppression and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery!"
At this moment, the warriors of the Southern Eight Days all knelt down and cried.
"Hong Baineng will be posthumously named the Heavenly Master of Creation, and he will be worshipped by the people!"
...
Just like that, after a long time, people were all immersed in grief. Donghuang Yu'er's voice stopped again.
She gave everyone some time and space. And people gradually noticed that Donghuang Yu'er, who stopped, did not put away the jade slip in her hand. Obviously, Huan Yin still had something to say.
So, people finally gradually regained their calm again. Then, Donghuang Yu'er looked at his son Huan Yu, and after a sigh, he finally read: "It is said that the throne is in my son Huan Yu, and I hope that all the ministers will assist him well, and work together to bring peace to the world, benefit the people, and benefit the people!"
"What!?" As soon as this was said, everyone was shocked, and some people could no longer control themselves and exclaimed.
Everyone finally understood why the first Donghuang Yu'er to be canonized was the queen mother, but Huan Yin made such a decision, so what about himself?
The grand ceremony that was originally prepared ended hastily, and Huan Yu succeeded to the throne as the Emperor of Heaven, but even his heart was at a loss.
Later, in the inner palace, the newly enthroned Emperor of Heaven finally found his mother. He was a little uneasy and asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "Mother, where did my father go?"
Huan Yu was smart and had long seen that his mother must know where his father was. I'm afraid that she was the only one in the world who knew it best.
However, Huan Yu's intelligence was inherited from his parents, and his mother was also very smart. So when Dong Huang Yu'er received the jade slip, he knew that Huan Yin was no longer in retreat and had left long ago. And everything written on his jade slip had already shown his whereabouts.
After proper arrangements, he drifted away from then on and no longer asked about worldly affairs...
"He went to wait for someone..." Finally, Dong Huang Yu'er stood in front of the window and said a little sadly.
"When will he come back?" Huan Yu asked again.
Dong Huang Yu'er said: "When he waits, he may come back."
"What should we do then?" Huan Yu asked again.
Donghuang Yuer looked at her child, forced a smile, and said, "He's waiting for someone else, so let's wait for him here."
...
Human world, Qingzhou.
There are two places in Qingzhou that are famous for willow trees. One is in the city, which was the Green Willow Alley in the past and the Huangzu Alley today. It's a pity that Huangzu Alley has a different status now and has lost its popularity. The other is outside the city, a small mountain village less than five miles away from Qingzhou City, named "Green Willow Village". Although Green Willow Village is not very populous, there are people coming and going, and it is full of human touch.
Green Willow Village is a harmonious village, and almost no major events have ever happened in the village. The biggest thing that happened recently is that a handsome and well-mannered young man moved into the village.
The villagers initially thought that the young man was a scholar, and although he was taciturn, he was kind and easy-going, so everyone wanted to get closer to him.
So people knew his surname was Huan, and soon they were surprised to find that he was not a scholar, but a carpenter.
Carpenter Huan quickly integrated into Green Willow Village and settled down in a secluded corner at the end of the village. His life was simple. He would go out to get willow wood every day, then carve at home for a whole day and never step out of the door again.
The villagers were used to Carpenter Huan's taciturnity, and they had never even heard him mention his full name, but they didn't mind. But when they gradually discovered that the carpenter carved every day, but no one had ever really seen his work, and no one had ever seen him sell his work to make a living, everyone gradually began to feel curious.
A carpenter who carves behind closed doors all day long never shows his work, let alone sells it, so why does he carve?
Finally, someone couldn't help it and asked Carpenter Huan this question when he went out to get willow wood. However, the person who asked the question only saw Carpenter Huan's momentary sadness, and the carpenter avoided the topic, smiled gently, and left.
Later, someone else asked, but was avoided by Carpenter Huan. Over time, no one asked anymore. Carpenter Huan's carving behind closed doors seems to have become a normal part of Green Willow Village. People have gotten used to it and eventually don't care much about it.
However, accidents always happen year after year.
On this day, a child named Hu Zi in the village tiptoed into Carpenter Huan's yard, quietly touched the back of the room where Carpenter Huan was carving behind closed doors, and climbed up the only small window.
Hu Zi was only eight years old and was a smart child. But smart children are often naughty, which may be the reason why he did this today.
Just after climbing onto the windowsill, Hu Zi didn't stabilize his body because he used too much force, and fell into the window!
"Ah!" Hu Zi screamed and fell flat on his face. Fortunately, he was not afraid of pain, and hurriedly stood up in panic. He glanced around and was stunned.
There were willow sculptures all around, large and small. But these sculptures were obviously carved of the same woman, a woman who was so beautiful that she was indescribable, like a fairy.
Each sculpture is different, almost all the postures, smiles, joys, sorrows and joys of the woman are carved out. Putting these sculptures together, it seems that they are the life of that woman!
Hu Zi's little head was patted, and he woke up. He turned around and saw a gentle smiling face. He stuck out his tongue and called out: "Uncle Huan!"
Carpenter Huan nodded and didn't say anything, but Hu Zi quickly said: "Uncle Huan, this sister is so beautiful!"
Carpenter Huan smiled more gently, and finally said, "Is it beautiful?"
Hu Zi nodded vigorously and said, "Very beautiful! Is the elder sister very important to Uncle Huan? What is her name?"
Carpenter Huan's face showed a trace of sadness, and he said softly, "Her name is Mangino."
Hu Zi nodded, and seemed to think seriously for a while before asking again, "Uncle Huan, why do you carve so many images of Sister Mangino?"
Carpenter Huan said, "Because I can't carve out her beauty."
Hu Zi was obviously surprised and said, "Isn't this beautiful? How beautiful must Sister Mangino be! Uncle Huan, since you can't carve, why don't you go find the elder sister and let her sit in front of you so that you can carve according to her?"
Carpenter Huan's voice became lighter and lighter, and he said, "She left, I'll wait for her here."
Hu Zi asked in confusion, "When will the elder sister come back?"
Carpenter Huan got up and opened the door. The afterglow of the setting sun spread over the carpenter, casting a long shadow behind him. Then, Hu Zi heard him say: "When I carve out her beauty, she will come back!"
