Chapter Seventy-Eight Because Little Brother Lu is a human being
Lu Chen finally saw the real Huaguo Mountain, and under the leadership of Sun Wukong, he entered the mountain and came to the legendary Water Curtain Cave. Lu Chen looked at the waterfall, my obedient man, it was terrible, there was no end in sight, as if it came from above the nine heavens, pouring down, rising bursts of white mist, worthy of being the blessed land of the immortals who shook the Three Realms.
"How is it, Brother Lu, my hometown is not bad, right?" Sun Wukong said with a smug smile.
"It's not just good, it's a fairyland on earth. Lu Chen couldn't help but admire, and at the same time pondered in his heart, if he retired here, it is estimated that mortals can live for 1,800 years.
"Hahaha, as long as you like it, Brother Lu, you can come and play at any time, you can live as long as you want, and just treat this place as your home. Sun Wukong said heroically.
Lu Chen's blood boiled suddenly, according to legend, he knew that there were not many people in the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth and Man who could make Sun Wukong say such things, and even the few demons who had sworn to Sun Wukong at the beginning did not have that kind of honor now. I can be so valued by Sun Wukong, I am really fortunate to have three lives!
The shadow of the famous tree, the image of Sun Wukong in the hearts of the earth's people is absolutely extremely tall, although the real status of Sun Wukong is not as good as that of saints such as Taishang Laojun, but in people's hearts, there is no doubt that Sun Wukong's status is higher.
Lu Chen also grew up watching Journey to the West, and like all earthlings, if you compare Sun Wukong with Taishang Laojun, it is undoubtedly Sun Wukong who has the upper hand.
Sun Wukong was very heroic and direct, brought Lu Chen into the Water Curtain Cave, and then beckoned a group of monkeys of all sizes to bring fruit and wine, and drank with Lu Chen.
The unique monkey wine of Huaguo Mountain is full of aroma, compared to the jade liquid enjoyed by the Jade Emperor, it is not bad at all, ordinary people do not have this blessing to share, Lu Chen is lucky, but he can't drink much with all his strength, and this is after Sun Wukong helped him refine most of the wine, if it is the original pulp, it is estimated that he will be drunk when he smells it.
This made Lu Chen a little embarrassed, there was no way, he was just a mortal after all, and the immortal wine, that was not the ability to enjoy it.
Fortunately, Sun Wukong was reasonable and didn't care about these, and finally removed the monkey wine and drank Lu Chen's wine instead, one hundred catties of wine, originally used some, it is estimated that there are about ninety catties left, this is good, at least eighty catties have entered Sun Wukong's stomach.
The fine wine has been diluted by Hongjun Dao Ancestor by 100 million times, but after all, it is refined with 18,000 kinds of divine medicines, and the effect of it is naturally needless to say. Although it is useless for an immortal of Sun Wukong's level only by relying on the medicinal effect, Sun Wukong is too curious, he feels fresh about everything, and he has never drunk fine wine.
The two were drinking and smoking at the same time, and there were a lot of cigarette butts piled up on the ground, all kinds of brands, Sun Wukong was very happy and exclaimed.
Lu Chen was also happy like this, Sun Wukong was happy, then his trip was not in vain.
Halfway through the drink, an uninvited guest came, Taishang Laojun actually drove to Huaguo Mountain in person, as soon as he came, he called the monkey unfair, there are good things to swallow alone, and the two of them fought in front of Lu Chen, which made Lu Chen stunned!
Are these still two famous immortals? How can they be similar to ordinary people?
If you want to say that this is too good for Laojun, he was originally one of the few saints in the Three Realms, and in terms of strength and realm, Sun Wukong couldn't catch up with him. But he is so nonsensical, he is like an ordinary old man, constantly arguing with Sun Wukong there. If it weren't for Lu Chen's persuasion and promise to get him a batch of cigarettes when he was free after a while, it is estimated that the two of them would have to fight endlessly.
Lu Chen also really saw Sun Wukong's courage, if he was really not afraid of heaven and earth, in this world, how many people dared to quarrel with saints? Isn't there an old saying that says: "Under the saints, there are ants!"
This sentence is not just talking, the saint really has that ability, maybe he can open the heavens and the earth and reorganize the world. In case of accidental anger, even ten Monkey Kings are not the opponents of Taishang Laojun.
However, Taishang Laojun, who does not have the demeanor of a saint, is undoubtedly more likeable, as if he is not a high saint, but a kind old man, in the eyes of the kind old man, Sun Wukong is just a naughty child.
"Lu Chen, next time you come to the fairy world, you must come to Tushi Palace to drink tea, chat with my bad old man, play chess, and accompany my old man to relieve his boredom. Taishang Laojun poured bitter water with a helpless face.
It is because his status is so high, there are only a few people in heaven and earth who can really compare with him, and those people are all supreme in the same religion. Let's take the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Tongtian Sect Master as an example, one person is in charge of the exposition of the teaching, and the other is in charge of the interception of the teaching, although he is already beyond the world, but he is still very busy, except for cultivation, he is tired by the affairs of the sect, where is the time to chat with him?
What's more, the two saints of the Western Sect are even more busy developing believers, and they don't know what they want to do.
In addition to these saints, even the Jade Emperor was polite to himself, how could those immortals in the heavenly court dare to communicate with him boldly? Not to mention mortals, even ordinary immortals were afraid, let alone him, the supreme god!
Hundreds of millions of years, there is only one freak like Sun Wukong in heaven and earth, and he didn't know his identity when he was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace before, but later he knew it, and he still did his own thing, and he didn't put himself as a saint in his eyes at all. Just treat yourself as a friend, talk about friendship with peers, this feeling of having friends, Taishang Laojun thinks it's really good.
Who would have too many friends? Taishang Laojun is no exception, now it's okay, in addition to Sun Monkey, there is another Lu Chen.
Although Lu Chen is just a mortal, he has no effect on Taishang Laojun at all, as long as he dares to regard himself as a friend.
"That's natural, I want you to take care of it in the future. Lu Chen said with a smile.
What kind of joke, who would dislike the olive branch thrown by Taishang Laojun? Unless that person is a fool.
"Hahaha, this is easy to say, if you need anything in the future, just tell me, in these three realms, there is nothing that my old monarch can't do. ”
"Then I'll thank you. Lu Chen raised his wine glass and said, "Come on, everyone is friends, do it!"
"Well said, they're all friends, it's done!" Sun Wukong and Taishang Laojun laughed, very happy.
After drinking for a while, Lu Chen got up and said goodbye, "I'm sorry two elder brothers, I still have to go to work tomorrow, junior brother, so I have to rush back before dawn tomorrow, and we will meet again next time." ”
"Go to work?" both of them were stunned when they heard this.
Lu Chen patted his head, going to work is the saying of earthlings, but the two in front of him don't know, and then explained: "Working is work, just like Lao Jun, you are mainly responsible for alchemy in Heavenly Court, it is all considered work." ”
Lu Chen then explained: "I'm still a mortal after all, I still have to eat, if I don't go to work, I won't have money, just like you people here don't have immortal stones if you don't work, so how can you live?"
"It's not easy. Sun Wukong patted his chest heroically and said: "You just stay in my Huaguo Mountain, Lao Sun, I will ensure that you are immortal, you have food and drink, how about it?"
"I understand Brother Monkey's kindness, but I'm afraid it won't work. Lu Chen shook his head.
"Why is this?" Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, what a good idea? No matter how many mortals ask for it, they can't ask for it.
Taishang Laojun smiled and said, "Because Little Brother Lu is a human being. ”
Lu Chen also smiled and said, "You still know me!"
"Nonsense, don't you forget, I'm still the master of the human sect, is there anything I don't know about the minds of mortals?" Taishang Laojun rolled his eyes and said angrily.
"That's just as well. Lu Chen nodded.
According to legend, the ancestors of the Three Qing Daoists were in charge of expounding the teachings, intercepting the teachings, and teaching the people. The human religion was originally ranked first, but with the passage of time, human beings have become more and more mature through evolution, and they have learned how to live a better life, and they can completely rely on human beings to survive on their own abilities, so the human religion has become dispensable, and Taishang Laojun, the head of the human sect, has become the alchemy master of the heavenly court.
Since you are a human being, of course, you must be self-reliant, you must rely on your own hands to create wealth, and you must use your own wisdom to make yourself better surviving, instead of always thinking about relying on the help and pity of others.
Lu Chen had already decided that in the future, when dealing with the gods of the Heavenly Realm, he would not accept gifts again, and would have to exchange them for equivalent things, even with Taishang Laojun. Friendship is friendship, business is business, it's better to distinguish a little clearly.
Sun Wukong scratched his ears and cheeks, he didn't understand very much, Lu Chen and Taishang Laojun didn't want to explain, they glanced at each other, and they both saw understanding in each other's eyes. In the end, under the reluctant gaze of Sun Wukong and Taishang Laojun, Lu Chen drove his tricycle away.
Lu Chen was also very high-profile when he left, he just wanted everyone to know that there was another person named Lu Chen in this world, and he wanted everyone to know that there was another company in this world called the Three Realms Express Company.
The Earth Immortal Realm is incomparably vast, no matter how high-profile Lu Chen is, this time and again, it is just the area where he has taken the route from the earth to the Earth Immortal Realm to Huaguo Mountain, and there are still very few people who know it. But this was also expected by Lu Chen, he did not have the luxury of being able to beat the reputation of the Three Realms Express Company in a short period of time, that is unrealistic, this world does not have the network on the earth.
What Lu Chen needs is a little spark, and the spark can start a prairie fire. Over time, he came more, went to more places, knew more people, and heard more about the Three Realms Express Company, and slowly spread his name and the name of the Three Realms Express Company.
