Chapter 6 The Disaster of the Three Cleans

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. As soon as the day dawned, Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun came to Yuan Shi Tianzun. In the past three days, they heard that the Jade Emperor was busy with the pile, but most of them still didn't approve it. This time, they had to get together to discuss how to deal with the Jade Emperor in advance. And the gods and goddesses in the sky all gathered in groups to discuss how the "Three Qings" would deal with the Jade Emperor today. Some of them have opinions about the Jade Emperor on weekdays and want to see how the Jade Emperor is punished and how he is disgraced; some of them rely on the Jade Emperor and are very worried about the situation of the Jade Emperor; some of them just watch a good show, and they don't care at all how the "Three Qings" will punish the Jade Emperor; and some of them are afraid of being affected and hide far away.

Yuan Shi Tianzun waited in the Immortal Mansion for a long time, and they didn't even see the shadow of the Jade Emperor. A wave of anger welled up in the hearts of all three of them. When they were about to send someone to summon the Jade Emperor over, Taishang Laojun suddenly sent Xiantong over to invite the three Heavenly Venerables over. After the fairy child knelt down to Yuan Shi Tianzun and them, he said, "The palace master has newly refined a kind of elixir. The palace master asked the villain to come over and ask the three Tianzun to move to the Tushi Palace, and invite the three Tianzun to taste the elixir. After hearing this, the three of Yuan Shi Tianzun all glanced at each other, and they were all thinking: "How did Taishang Laojun's new elixir just be refined at this time?" Yuan Shi Tianzun waved his hand to let the fairy boy exit the hall, and then asked the other two Tianzun and said, "What do the two junior disciples think?" Daode Tianzun said: "After the elixir is made, it should be taken immediately, and it should not be left for too long. Why don't we put aside the matter of the Jade Emperor first, go to Tushi Palace, see how Taishang Laojun's elixir is used, and then make a decision. Lingbao Tianzun had a different idea, and he immediately said: "No, I have to send someone to inform the Jade Emperor to come to Tushi Palace immediately." This time you must not let go of the Jade Emperor, this is a rare good time......" After listening to Lingbao Tianzun's words, Yuan Shi Tianzun and Daode Tianzun stopped talking, they also knew that this was a rare opportunity to deal with the Jade Emperor, but Taishang Laojun's elixir also had a lot of attraction to them, they neither wanted to let go of the Jade Emperor, nor did they want to miss the elixir, so they silently agreed with Lingbao Tianzun's statement. Lingbao Tianzun then sent someone to summon the Jade Emperor to Tushi Palace, and the three of them took a few portable boys to let Taishang Laojun's fairy children lead the way in front and went to Tushi Palace together......

In front of the gate of Tushi Palace, Taishang Laojun had already led all the disciples to stand outside the palace gate to greet the people of Yuan Shi Tianzun.

Taishang Laojun saw that the three Yuan Shi Tianzun were leading a large number of people, unlike in the past, he immediately came forward to salute: "Disciple to meet the three Tianzun, welcome the three Tianzun!" Yuan Shi Tianzun said: "Excuse me, get up." I heard that you have refined a new elixir, so I was invited to come. What is the use of this new elixir?" Taishang Laojun said, "Please go inside first. The three Heavenly Venerables, please, fellow Daoists, please ......" Taishang Laojun led everyone into the Tushi Palace. Taishang Laojun said to you in the living room: "Please wait here for a while, I will come with the three Heavenly Venerables." Then he glanced at the Yuan Shi Tianzun and them. Yuan Shi Tianzun said: "You just wait here, let us and Taishang Laojun go in." The immortals hurriedly responded: "Obey the decree of the Heavenly Venerable." Then Taishang Laojun led the three Yuan Shi Tianzun into the alchemy room.

I saw that the walls of the alchemy room of the Tushi Palace were filled with rows of dense medicine shrines, and there was a medicine gourd in each niche. In the center of the alchemy room, there is a huge gossip furnace, and at the tuyere of the gossip furnace, there is a little Taoist boy holding a banana fan to fan the fire there, with the fan of the banana fan, the gossip furnace also constantly emits a stream of smoke, and everyone smells the intoxicating sweet fragrance from it. The three of them felt refreshed in this fragrance, and even their anger towards the Jade Emperor was eliminated.

Taishang Laojun personally served the three Tianzun to take their seats, and poured tea and offered tea himself. Taishang Laojun said to the Yuan Shi Tianzun and them: "Three Tianzun, please wait a moment. The disciple went and presented the elixir. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

After hearing this, Taishang Laojun bowed, and then returned to the gossip furnace, and immediately a boy brought water to Taishang Laojun to clean his hands. After Taishang Laojun washed his hands, he personally took the pill out of the gossip furnace, personally placed the medicine plate, and personally carried the tray to the table of Yuan Shi Tianzun......

Just when Taishang Laojun went to get the pill, the fairy boy sent by Yuan Shi Tianzun to summon the Jade Emperor was let into the alchemy room, and the fairy boy replied: "The Jade Emperor has just finished cultivating and is on his way. The Jade Emperor asked the little one to come back first to report to all the Heavenly Venerables. He also had to go to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to bring those unfinished pieces to the Heavenly Venerables. ”

Lingbao Tianzun was furious when he heard this, and said, "Bastard. I haven't finished the recital, and I still have time to practice. Someone, go and bring the Jade Emperor for me. ”

Taishang Laojun persuaded: "Tianzun is angry. Those of us who cultivate pay the most attention to being quiet and inactive, having no desires, not being happy with things, and not being sad with ourselves. If the liver fire is wanted, it is easy for the devil to arise from the heart, and the foundation of cultivation will be damaged. ”

Daode Tianzun is the most concerned about self-denial and health preservation among the three senior brothers, and after he listened to Taishang Laojun's words, he also advised Lingbao Tianzun: "Second Senior Brother, you and I have been cultivating for so long, why can't you quit this temper." Taishang Laojun is right, we do have to cultivate more self-cultivation. We're not far from the next one, so we'll have to pay more attention. ”

Lingbao Tianzun disagreed, and said: "The tribulation is just a trivial matter. The three of us have been here for so many years, and we haven't come over the same way. Taishang Laojun, let's talk about how you take this elixir, if the effect is. Lingbao Tianzun saw that there were red, brown, and black elixirs in the medicine plates on everyone's table, and the immortal aura on the pill lingered, and the fragrance of the pill was fragrant.

Taishang Laojun replied: "Back to Tianzun's words." The effect of this elixir is used to calm the mind, refine the soul, and prevent the interference of demons. The method of taking it is to be combined with the fairy tea I brew to have an effect. The first thing to take is this red elixir, this pill will wash the minds of the three Tianzun, and after a while, take the brown elixir to warm the meridians, and soothe the true qi in the body, to prevent the true qi in the body from overreacting after taking the black elixir, rampage in the body of the three Tianzun and injure themselves, and after a while, taking the black elixir, you can forcibly discharge the dirt and filth accumulated in the body for a long time, and will also expel those distracting thoughts, and also give the three Tianzun a spiritual platform empty, which makes it easier to sense heaven and earth. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Shi Tianzun said: "Hearing you say this, the effect of this elixir is not very good. It's just that it has more effect than ordinary elixir to clear the mind and remove demons. ”

Hearing the words of Yuan Shi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun hurriedly said: "Yu Tianzun." The effect of this elixir sounds ordinary, but we cultivators are most afraid of being upset, irritable and restless, if we are not very good when we are cultivating, it can cause our form and spirit to be destroyed, and this elixir can also refresh our minds......

After listening to Taishang Laojun's words, the three Heavenly Venerables all felt that the effects of these elixirs were very ordinary, but those of them who had advanced cultivation all understood very well that these foundations were the most important thing in cultivation, and if they lacked one, they would be far from the same. Some people just don't lay a solid foundation when they first start cultivating, and when they get to the point where they cultivate, they become half the effort. When these people want to make up the foundation through medicine, but because their own cultivation is too high, the efficacy of the medicine is affected, and the ordinary medicine has no effect, and the rare ones can be found but not sought, which makes those people very painful. The current Yuan Shi Tianzun and them, although their cultivation is very high, and their cultivation foundation is also very solid, it is impossible not to have any secret injuries and heart diseases. Therefore, after listening to Taishang Laojun's explanation of the efficacy of these elixirs, Yuan Shi Tianzun and them also wanted to take these elixirs in their hearts and try their medicinal effects.

Yuan Shi Tianzun called the portable fairy boy outside the door to come in and ordered: "When the Jade Emperor arrives, let him wait outside the door." ”

The fairy boy responded: "The disciple obeys the decree of Tianzun. ”

Then, Yuan Shi Tianzun waved his hand to let the fairy child out.

Then the Taishang Laojun served the three Heavenly Venerables to serve these elixirs. After the three of them took the elixir, they ordered Taishang Laojun and the medicine boys to withdraw from the alchemy room, and let the three of them practice there to transform the medicinal effect, so as not to be disturbed by Taishang Laojun and them.

Taishang Laojun replied, but he didn't move for a long time, but those medicine boys retreated.

Seeing this, Lingbao Tianzun, who had a strong temper, began to fire in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Let you step down." Don't you hear? Bastard thing. ”

After hearing Lingbao Tianzun's words, Taishang Laojun laughed and said, "Three Tianzun, please calm your anger. There is one who has something to say to all the Heavenly Venerables......"

Before Lingbao Tianzun could finish speaking, he hurriedly said, "Who, let him get out of here." It's the other way around, it's not big or small. ”

"Hahaha...... Lingbao Tianzun, why are you so angry. And Taishang Laojun has served you for so long, you just scolded him like this, aren't you afraid that he will be cold?" Under the angry gaze of Lingbao Tianzun, the Jade Emperor walked out of a dark pavilion with the four great King Kongs.

"You ......" Lingbao Tianzun picked up the medicine tray in his hand and smashed it at the Jade Emperor, but the Jade Emperor dodged it. Lingbao Tianzun said angrily: "You, you still dare to hide." The sword came to ......" Lingbao Tianzun picked up the sword trick with both hands, and recited the spell on his mouth, but the fairy sword on his back did not move at all. He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. shouted, "Old Dan." What did you give us, old thing? Poison?"

Taishang Laojun said: "Of course it can't be poison. The three of them have the grace of knowing me. How could I be so ruthless?"

“...... But there is also the revenge of punishment and insult. Right. At this time, Yuan Shi Tianzun suddenly spoke.

"This is a natural ......," Taishang Laojun did not deny, "Although the three of you have the grace of knowing me, it is all because of your own selfishness. If it weren't for my unparalleled alchemy skills, would you still appreciate me? Moreover, I have been refining so many elixirs for you for so long, what have I gained from you? You all just treat me as one of your dogs. You scold me at every turn, throw a cup at me, pour tea, give me a face, sometimes my substitute is not as good as a dog. Now that I finally have a chance to get rid of you, how can I give up......" Taishang Laojun's name for Yuan Shi Tianzun has also changed.

Yuan Shi Tianzun was silent after hearing this, Lingbao Tianzun was so angry that his face turned red, and Daode Tianzun closed his eyes......

After a while, Yuan Shi Tianzun spoke: "All this is planned by you behind the Jade Emperor, right?" Yuan Shi Tianzun knew that it was impossible for the heart of the etheric lord to come up with such a vicious plan.

The Jade Emperor smiled: "How can my brain alone be enough. There is also the idea of the Buddha Shakyamuni, the head of the Pure Land of Western Heavens. ”

The Four Heavenly Kings beside the Jade Emperor glanced at the Jade Emperor, his face was very ugly, but he couldn't have a seizure, he could only endure it, feeling that his heart was pinched hard by others. The Jade Emperor did this, obviously to pull Rulai into the water. If they can't get rid of the Origin Heavenly Venerable this time, then the Pure Land of Bliss will usher in the wrath of the Heavenly Court, and it will definitely suffer heavy casualties. The Jade Emperor forced the four of their brothers to fight with Yuan Shi Tianzun.

After hearing this, Lingbao Tianzun scolded: "Bastard thing, do you know that this is called luring wolves into the room." When the time comes, not only you, but even the entire Heavenly Court will be poisoned by them......"

"Bold, you dare to slander our Buddhism, it seems that you don't want to live anymore. The Wide-Eyed Heavenly King with the red dragon in his hand glared angrily at the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable and shouted. He can tolerate others insulting him, but he can't tolerate others insulting Buddhism and insulting Nyorai.

Lingbao Tianzun was stunned by the Wide-Eyed Heavenly King, and then immediately scolded: "What's the matter." I'm scolding those bald donkeys who don't understand the rules, what do you have to do with it. It's the other way around. Which is your turn to speak. ”

The Wide-eyed Heavenly King still wanted to attack, but was pressed down by the Heavenly King of the Holding Country. Because this time their mission was only to assist the Jade Emperor, and they had no part to speak. In case they talk too much and cause the operation to fail, and the blame is put on them, then they can't eat and go around.

"Second Senior Brother, save some effort. If they dare to attack us, they will not be merciful, and they are afraid of our retaliation. It is precisely because they are afraid of our strength that they will use the shady means of drugged. Daode Tianzun, who had the best temper, finally spoke at this time, "But what I don't understand the most is that why did you betray us, Jade Emperor, we are not thin on you, but you are like this to us." ”

The Jade Emperor sneered and said, "If I don't do this now, then it won't be long before I will no longer be sitting on that dragon chair." ”

"Your ineffective governance has led to constant problems within the Heavenly Court, shouldn't we replace people? The reason why you are trying to get rid of us and keep your position is because of your selfishness. Daode Tianzun's tone of voice was very calm, but the words he said made the Jade Emperor breathless, and his face was blue and pale......

Seeing that the Jade Emperor's psychology was about to collapse, the Heavenly King immediately said: "If Heavenly Court is taken over again by people like you who deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, then where will there be justice and honesty at all." Originally, the Jade Emperor had already managed the Heavenly Court in an orderly manner, but it was all you who tolerated, instigated, and shielded the immortals from obeying the Jade Emperor's management, which caused the Heavenly Court to become the mess it is now. Moreover, you still find fault with the Jade Emperor everywhere, and also prevent the Jade Emperor from governing the Heavenly Court...... Is it all good for him? You didn't do this because you were afraid that he would get rid of you like you did with Hongjun. That's why you're going to find ways to get rid of the Jade Emperor and keep your position in the Heavenly Court. It's not all because of your selfish motives. What qualifications do you have to talk about other people's selfishness?" The words of the Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom pinned Daode Tianzun, and at the same time reminded the Jade Emperor that the result of this action was either you die or I die. Even if the Jade Emperor relented, in the future, the three Yuan Shi Tianzun would not let them go. This time it really drove the Jade Emperor to a dead end.

The Jade Emperor knew that the Heavenly King was reminding him that this was his last chance to make a move. If Yuan Shi Tianzun spares them this time, then many people will be executed. The Jade Emperor's face was very ugly at this time, he didn't like to be threatened by people the most, but he couldn't turn his face with the Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom at this time, after all, he still had to rely on them to work. And just now I was able to transfer a large number of Heavenly Court's guards away, all thanks to them.

The Jade Emperor said to the Yuan Shi Tianzun and them: "Three Venerables. I've come to this point now, one step forward is the abyss, one step back is the cliff, no matter what, it's a dead word. There's no going back, but before I die, I want you to bury me. After speaking, the Jade Emperor snatched the sword of the Growth Heavenly King and slashed towards the Yuan Shi Tianzun.

Seeing this, Yuan Shi Tianzun trembled with anger and was speechless. The Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun on the side shouted, "Stop the evil beast. But he could only be powerless to watch the Jade Emperor's sword swing down.

"Wait. "Just when Yuan Shi Tianzun was about to scatter, Taishang Laojun stepped forward and blocked the Jade Emperor's sword with a dust. Then Taishang Laojun said: "Jade Emperor, this move is not Sui. ”

The Jade Emperor's face suddenly changed greatly, and he was very ugly, and said, "What, do you want to regret it?" The Jade Emperor was very wary of Taishang Laojun from the beginning. Because before Taishang Laojun was subsumed into the heavenly court, he was only a scattered immortal who cultivated alone, and adhered to the principle of "quiet and inaction, let it be". However, in order to accumulate and understand the Tao between heaven and earth, Taishang Laojun went to consult the Yuan Shi Tianzun and them. At that time, Yuan Shi Tianzun and the others were busy forming the Heavenly Court and had no time to refine the pill themselves. They saw that Taishang Laojun was talented and intelligent, and he wanted to learn the Tao, so they exchanged it. They can teach Taishang Laojun to learn the Tao, but Taishang Laojun must stay and give them alchemy. In other words, the Jade Emperor and Taishang Laojun entered the Heavenly Court not long apart, and their strength was not far apart. But if you compare it in terms of network resources and magic weapons, Taishang Laojun is superior. The main reason is that all the immortals in the heavenly court generally have to ask Taishang Laojun for pills. Although the Jade Emperor is in charge of the Heavenly Court on behalf of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, to put it bluntly, the Jade Emperor is just a small puppet of the Yuan Shi Tianzun. But Taishang Laojun is different, he can be said to have the status of master and apprentice with Yuan Shi Tianzun, and he can also refine various pills for the immortals, those immortals will naturally give some remuneration Taishang Laojun, sometimes it may be some rare medicinal materials, sometimes it may be a rare immortal magic weapon or something. Therefore, in terms of connections and magic weapons, the Jade Emperor is not as good as Taishang Laojun. The Jade Emperor was afraid that Taishang Laojun would regret it at this time, then most of the immortals in Heavenly Court would stand on Taishang Laojun's side, then he would be in danger.

Taishang Laojun saw that the Jade Emperor was so nervous, and guessed a little bit of the Jade Emperor's thoughts, and he was also afraid of facing the Jade Emperor, after all, he spent most of his time on alchemy, and neglected to practice martial arts. If he stood on the opposite side of the Jade Emperor now, even if he could rely on many magic weapons to tie with the Jade Emperor, there would still be the Four Heavenly Kings watching from the side, and the chance of getting out alive was very small. Taishang Laojun was also afraid that the Jade Emperor would be suspicious of him. After he pulled the Jade Emperor aside, he hurriedly explained to the Jade Emperor: "Naturally not. It's just that the three of them still have life lamps in their respective fairy palaces. Kill them, and we won't survive. "Taishang Laojun is also afraid of failure. Because at that time, the Yuan Shi Tianzun and the immortals attached to their seats and those who saw the wind and steered the rudder would definitely not let them go. Especially those who want to climb up, they will do whatever it takes.

The Jade Emperor took a deep look at Taishang Laojun, and then asked, "Then what do you think should be done with them?"

Taishang Laojun said: "It is natural to kill them, but it is even more unsatisfactory to let them go." I came up with a compromise solution, which was to lock them up in my gossip furnace, refine a part of their primordial spirits, and disturb their divine consciousness, and cast a spell on their primordial gods to turn them into our puppets. Then we can release their bodies and take the power out of their hands. ”

The Jade Emperor asked in disbelief, "Is it feasible?"

Taishang Laojun said: "Eighty." ”

The Jade Emperor's eyes rolled a few times, and after weighing, he agreed to Taishang Laojun's proposal. He asked the Four Heavenly Kings to throw them into the gossip furnace. After Lingbao Tianzun was thrown into the gossip furnace, he scolded non-stop. And the Yuan Shi Tianzun and the Daode Tianzun have long accepted their fate.

Before refining the Yuan Shi Tianzun and their Yuan Shen, Taishang Laojun and the immortals who came with you said that the three of them were going to retreat and cultivate, and let them all go back to their respective homes. During this period, the Jade Emperor dealt with all the backlog of things, and suppressed the immortals who were attached to Yuan Shi Tianzun in various names.

When Taishang Laojun released the three of them from the gossip furnace, the memories of the three of them had been burned and refined, and their minds were also half asleep and half awake. Taishang Laojun and the Jade Emperor immediately manipulated them to give up all their power on the grounds of long-term retreat and cultivation without asking about the world. As soon as these words came out, they could scare those immortals who had fought against the Jade Emperor and had been attached to the Yuan Shi Tianzun half to death, but even if they knew that the Jade Emperor would deal with them, they could only resign themselves to their fate.

Later, after a period of chickens and dogs, Heavenly Court resumed normal operation.

Soon after, Rulai sent someone to meet with the Jade Emperor in secret, and the leader was naturally the Buddha who burned the lamp. Ran Deng secretly discussed with the Jade Emperor for a long time before dispersing. Then the Jade Emperor immediately went to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to summon all the immortals to the court. The Jade Emperor announced in front of the immortals that he would assign the Yin Si Hades to Buddhism. The reason is that Heavenly Court does not have the ability to reduce the souls of the dead in the Netherworld, while Buddhism has six reincarnations in its hands, which can reincarnate the souls of the dead, can reduce the situation of ghosts making trouble because they cannot be managed, and can also reduce the burden of the gods and goddesses of Heaven to catch ghosts and so on. It was also announced that Buddhism could be preached in the East, and so on.

As soon as these words came out, some people immediately stood up against them. As for the immortals who oppose the assignment of Huangquan Yin Si to Buddhism, they do not need to be in charge of Huangquan Yin Si. And those immortals who were in charge of the Huangquan Yin Division were very much in favor of dividing the Huangquan Yin Division. They had long wanted to leave that dark and eerie place.

His Royal Highness and the immortals quarreled for a long time in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, but they couldn't change the fate of assigning Huangquan Yin Si to Buddhism. In the future, the Heavenly Court was only responsible for sending people to assist and supervise Buddhism in Huangquan Yin Division to do things that were unfavorable to the Heavenly Court.

As for the issue of Buddhism preaching in the East, it was opposed by all the gods and immortals. Because once Buddhism was preached in the East, the incense offered to them by mortals would naturally decrease.

Seeing that so many people opposed Buddhism's missionary work in Dongtu, the Jade Emperor decided to postpone the matter after consulting with Randeng.

The Buddha was busy reporting these things to Rulai, and he didn't stay long in Heaven before leaving. But the four King Kongs still stayed in Heaven to guard the door for Heavenly Court. Originally, the four Vajra were unwilling, but after the enlightenment of the Buddha of the Burning Lamp, they realized that the task of guarding the four heavenly gates was very important. You can pay attention to and record the gods and demons entering and leaving the heavenly court, and then report them to Buddhism.

The Jade Emperor also understood what the hell was going on with those people in Buddhism, but he had no one available now, so now he could only endure it without attacking. Now he can't turn over Buddhism, he still has to rely on the power of Buddhism to clear the remnants of the people who are attached to the three people of Yuan Shi Tianzun.

When Buddhism sent the King of the Earth to take over the Huangquan Yin Division and assign it to the six realms of reincarnation, the Jade Emperor immediately locked up the Yuan Shen refined by the three Yuan Shi Tianzun to the Infernal Hell in the underworld, and both sides sent people to supervise it to prevent accidents.
