The Treasure Hall of the Heavens.

The man sitting on the throne of the Jade Emperor put his hands on the case in front of him, and the fingers of his right hand were curled and knocked slowly.

All around him was the sound of a cannonball, crackling.

But he did not move, nor did he speak.

There was no fluctuation in his eyes, and even at this time, his eyes seemed to be just an ornament.

However, as soon as you appear around him, you will feel an inexplicable cold.

Even if he doesn't look at you, you still feel like you're just a prey that has landed in his jungle.

Yes, he's a wolf, a lazy but confident wolf.

The movement of his hands stopped, and the prey he was waiting for came.

"Heavenly Jade Emperor." The man who walked in from outside the hall was white and almost transparent, and the blue veins under his skin could be faintly seen.

The man's face was neither happy nor angry, and there was no trace of human affection in his eyes.

He was dressed in a robe and saluted slightly to the Jade Emperor.

"Golden cicada." The Jade Emperor sat motionless on the throne, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the soft and slender neck line of the person in front of him.

"If the Buddha belittled the little monk to the earth, let the little monk come to heaven to resign." Jin Chanzi's tone was flat, as if being degraded was just an ordinary trivial matter.

"Jin Chanzi take care all the way on this trip, if you encounter difficulties, Heavenly Court will definitely help." The Jade Emperor said with a smile.

He didn't ask the reason, didn't say anything of comfort, just raised his hand to say goodbye.

The golden cicada left without a trace.

The Jade Emperor tilted his head, remembering the piety in Jin Cicada's eyes when he mentioned Rulai.

Although the love was fleeting on the joyless and angry face of the golden cicada, it was undoubtedly pious.

Completely, as devotion as a god.

Even if Rulai demoted him to the mortal world, even if Rulai humiliated him by letting him go around resigning.

Tianzun Jade Emperor slowly poured himself a glass of wine on the table, and said; "Call Taishang Laojun over."

He looked at himself reflected in the drink and remembered the man.

The one who, like the golden cicada, never has too much expression on his face.

He remembered the first time he saw him, and he was dressed in a yellow robe and a moonlit robe in the face of countless monks and gods.

He looked at him and walked slowly towards him, his white robe slowly falling, and the white robe was dyed with bright sunlight.

The man didn't pick it up, as if it wasn't something to pick up, just a hair that had fallen out.

His steps were very light and soundless, completely different from the ascetic temperament of the golden cicada, although the man didn't say anything, and there was no expression on his face, he just walked quietly in one direction.

But just like that, it makes people feel so soft, soft like a mother's arm, wanting to indulge in it.

His softness is different from Guanyin's.

Guanyin's softness is warmth, enjoyment, and makes you feel that he is an old friend when you see him.

And his softness makes you want to surrender to his feet, raise your head and look up at him reverently.

Even if he didn't mean to.

He is the Buddha who has compassion for the world and purifies all sentient beings.

When Taishang Laojun came over, the Jade Emperor was still drinking, glass after glass, his eyes were misty.

"Tianzun." Taishang Laojun saluted.

"This chaotic sound in the heavenly court, the noisy people are turning on their backs, do you know what the reason is?" The Jade Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, drove those cranky thoughts out of his mind, and asked.

"Oh, what is the matter with my Tianzun, it is the stone monkey that popped out of the Tiantian Stone, and I learned a skill, I am afraid that it disturbed the heavenly court when I tried kung fu." Taishang Laojun smiled and said the words that had been smooth in his heart countless times.

"A monkey with ability, interesting." The Jade Emperor's middle finger tapped on the case, forcing himself to wake up from his drunkenness.

"Tianzun, the little god feels that he is useless if he is lost in the world, and his skills are high, so it is better to recruit Heavenly Court to serve my Heavenly Court."

"Oh......?" The Jade Emperor's tail note was elongated, and his narrowed eyes probed back and forth on Taishang Laojun's face. Eventually; "There are many capable people in Heavenly Court."

"So it doesn't hurt to add another one." Taishang Laojun felt sweat oozing from his forehead.

"You say...... Is he a stone monkey that popped out of the Heaven Replenishment Stone? The Jade Emperor's eyes were lowered, and his eyelashes like crow's wings were dead covering the love under his eyes, making it impossible for people to spy on him.

"Yes." Taishang Laojun agreed briefly and said no more.

"I remember......" the Jade Emperor tapped on the long case and said; Nezha, it's also from the Mending Heaven Stone, right? ”

"Tianzun has a good memory."

"Let Nezha fight with this monkey, let me see what this monkey is capable of." The Jade Emperor raised his head and said; "You know, I never trade at a loss, and I don't like to keep an idler."

"Yes." Taishang Laojun was ordered to leave.

Taishang Laojun stood outside his door, exhaled a long, thorough breath, and then pushed the door and walked in.

Nezha and Maru each hugged a bottle of elixir and turned their heads to look at him when they heard the sound.

"You ...... And I'm not eating my elixir on my back!! Taishang Laojun yelled at the two children.

"Master, Father...... Maruko thinks you're angry and still says beautifully. ”

"Nonsense, when did the teacher stop being beautiful?!"

"It's just that Maruko wants to sue Master Sù, but Master and Father are still not angry and more beautiful!" Maruko blinked with a pair of round eyes and said.

"Get out, your master is in a bad mood today, your set is useless!" Taishang Laojun walked over to the two of them, and snatched the elixir in the hands of the two people with one hand.

"You ...... It's noisy. The cold voice reached the ears of the three people, and all three of them couldn't help but look up at the sound.

Between the dense foliage and branches of the locust tree sat a thin young man in yellow with a gloomy face.

"You...... How did you get here? Taishang Laojun patted his chest hard, and kept telling himself in his heart to be calm and calm.

But I can't calm down at all, I see two unkind gods in one day, can you say hello first!

"I'm in a bad mood, it's very uncomfortable, it's not good for me to be found out like this, so I can only relax here." The young man lowered his head slightly, and the yin owl of the past disappeared.

The people who heard his voice seemed to have been affected by his feelings, became sad, and became pity for this thin teenager.

"You...... What's wrong? Taishang Laojun asked cautiously.

The boy looked up and smiled to himself.

But this smile was bleak, as if the thin boy who was smiling was going to disappear at any moment.

Taishang Laojun had never seen a teenager like this, and in his mind, when this person appeared as a teenager, he was brutal and bloody.

Such a distressing appearance has never belonged to this teenager who no one can resist his strength.

"Not really." In the end, the boy didn't say anything, as if a world had been separated for a long time.

"That's good." Taishang Laojun smiled awkwardly.

He had lived for so long, and he had seen so many people to get along with, but he never knew how to get along with this young man.

In fact, he really couldn't imagine that anyone but Guanyin could completely relax his nerves and get along with him.

"Taishang Laojun." The boy walked down from the tree, as if there was an invisible staircase in the air.

He walked slowly, slowly, like a dying man.

"You say."

"I ...... I...... Forget it, it's time to go back. He smiled again, pushed the door and left.

Red lotuses bloomed on the road he walked.

It's not a Buddha lamp, it's not a white hibiscus, it's a red lotus.

Taishang Laojun looked at the back of the young man, and his heart was like a knife.

These red lotuses are the blood of the young man's heart.

"Nezha!" Taishang Laojun shook his head violently and forbade himself to think about it, and grabbed Nezha, who was eating the elixir, and said.

"Huh?" Nezha tilted his head in confusion.

"The Jade Emperor ordered you to go down to catch monkeys!"

"Catch the monkey?!"

"That's right, Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave, catch monkeys."

"Alas...... I won't tell you more, I've been too frightened today, Maruko came to give Master a massage, and by the way, I brought the elixir on the lowest floor of the cabinet, I want to nourish my face. Taishang Laojun rubbed his face and said, when nothing happened.

"What......?!" Nezha Jue's blue sky and daylight suffered a muffled thunder.

Thinking of the monkey calling his daughter-in-law one by one, Nezha felt a chill.

"Nezha, aren't you going soon?!" Before the door was closed, a man in white had already appeared at the door.

"Master?"

"Go ahead, don't let Master say it again." Taishang Laojun took a gourd elixir and threw it to Nezha, saying; "Eat on the road, and be serious when you fight."

"Yes, Master." Nezha reluctantly left on Hot Wheels.

"I can't stand the bigger fright this time, you don't have to say anything other than making me happy." Taishang Laojun spoke.

"Oh, I'm just taking an elixir for Nezha." Taiyi Zhenren grabbed the balls and said; "Let's go, let's play with the dog."

"Don't bring balls, you have something to do, don't play with me, if you want to play, take me with you!"

"Didn't you say tell me to stop talking?" Taiyi Zhenren tilted his head and asked.

"You see I'm so beautiful, so tempting, you should take me with you, right?"

"So what does it have to do with me?"

"You...... You...... Tell you I was scared today, okay?! ”

"What kind of fright, eating too much elixir, pregnant with a little fool?"

"Bah, what nonsense, the queen mother didn't chop me up when she heard it. To be serious, he came here today, and he seemed to be in a particularly bad mood. Taishang Laojun said as he pointed to a red lotus that had not disappeared.

"Oh......" Taiyi said with a faint sadness when he heard his voice; He was sad, and he deserved it. ”

"Do you know something?!"

"That child, gone, was demoted." Yi Zhenren looked down at Honglian and said.

"Why?!"

Taishang Laojun felt that he was overwhelmed by the tide, and there was a ringing in his ears.

He never thought that that child would be reduced to mortality.

After all, I, the Buddha, have always taken a fancy to that child the most.
