Chapter 108: Taishang Laojun's request
After the words fell, a ray of light fell to the ground, like a carpet of light, and as long as the master and apprentice stepped on it, they could go straight to the South Heavenly Gate.
The Jade Emperor transmits the sound, the old gentleman is the marquis?
This Western Heaven is a struggle between Buddhism and Taoism.
Buddhism is the hegemon of the West, and Taoism is actually the belief of the East.
And the Heavenly Court was sandwiched in the middle, and the Jade Emperor was in charge, but it didn't actually have much power.
If the Three Realms Heaven and Earth are divided, then the Buddha Gate and the Dao Gate are equivalent to the real major shareholders, and the Jade Emperor is just a position that has been selected and is responsible for management.
If the Jade Emperor wants to maintain his position, he must also use Buddhism and Taoism.
However, in comparison, the Daomen is slightly better than the Buddhist Gate, the most vivid is that five hundred years ago, when the Heavenly Palace was havoc, the Jade Emperor was waiting for Rulai, on the contrary, in the attitude towards Taishang Laojun, he personally went to invite!
Therefore, this is the plan set by Rulai to travel westward, in order to seize the luck and faith of the Daomen.
But looking at it the other way, there are also a lot of strong people in the Dao Gate, especially the hands and eyes of the etheric Laojun, how can you not see the greasy in it? I'm afraid I already know it, maybe I just have another plan.
Lin Chuan had just fought with the Buddha Gate, and the Heavenly Court generals were watching the whole process, which was already very obvious.
This is a struggle of interests, and both sides are fighting for luck and faith!
"Master, should we go or not?" Sha Wujing asked.
"The Jade Emperor is also very hypocritical, he deliberately rectified my grandson back then, and became a Bi Ma Wen, so that now there are still people who use this name to make fun of me." Wukong pouted unwillingly.
"Go, everyone took the initiative to invite, of course you have to go." Lin Chuan smiled, leisurely stepped on the light carpet, and left the queen in the mortal daughter kingdom first.
Wukong glanced at each other a few times, and had no choice but to follow in Lin Chuan's footsteps.
The light carpet flashed, and he slowly lifted off with a few masters and apprentices, and soon came to Nantianmen.
At this moment, the South Heavenly Gate, all the heavenly soldiers and generals, scattered into the left and right, are opening the gate.
As soon as the master and apprentice arrived, Li Jing, the king of Tota, immediately stepped forward to greet him, and said with a smile: "The strength of the holy monk is extraordinary, and I admire it very much. ”
After speaking, Li Jing stretched out his hand to please.
Lin Chuan smiled silently, and let Li Jing lead the way.
This heavenly court is extremely luxurious, full of superb jade, rare carvings, surrounded by white mist, and there are many immortal mansions, it is a real immortal land.
Wukong followed behind, walked into the familiar Nantianmen, remembered what happened five hundred years ago, and felt very unfair.
If the Jade Emperor could face it up to it and not tease Wukong with the position of Bi Ma Wen, maybe there would not be so many twists and turns in the future, let alone make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, Wukong would not become a pawn, and even the entire future would be changed.
However, Lin Chuan didn't speak, and Wukong couldn't attack first, so he could only endure and keep quiet, always vigilant around.
Soon, the group came to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
The treasure hall soared through the clouds, and many immortal officials were present.
In the center, on the main seat, sat a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man wears a high crown on his head, wears a golden imperial robe, and his face is ruddy and shiny, as if he has been in a high position for a long time, and his small life is extremely moist, as if he is the Jade Emperor.
On the right side of the Jade Emperor's throne, there is a bronze chair, on which sits an old man in a Taoist robe, who is... Taishang Laojun!
A few masters and apprentices entered the hall, and the left and right immortal officials hurriedly said hello.
"Great Sage, long time no see."
"Marshal Tianpeng, you have contributed a lot to the destruction of Buddhism this time."
"Rolling shutters, the Jade Emperor plans to reinstate you, so you can steal your fun."
The Jade Emperor pressed his hand, suppressed the noise in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "The Holy Monk, the Great Sage, the Heavenly Canopy, the Rolling Blind, the Third Prince, and Er have meritorious work in removing the Buddha, and they have won the hearts of the people. ”
"Sun Wukong, canonized as the Monkey King."
"The Tianpeng official will be reinstated, and Lao Jun will do it for you to restore your body."
"The roller shutter is also reinstated, and the third prince can re-transform into a dragon and join the heavenly court."
"As for the Holy Monk, the Heavenly Court has not yet decided, but as soon as there is a decision, the Holy Monk will be notified immediately."
Hearing this, Lin Chuan sneered inwardly.
This Jade Emperor's methods are also enough for that.
I didn't help with something just now, but now that the matter is over, I hurriedly solicited it, completely biased towards the Daomen, and deliberately gave a little sweetness, wanting the master and apprentice to submit to Heaven and directly reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Of course, the real advantage is Taishang Laojun.
Because the Buddhas have dissipated and the Western faith has been shattered, you can go to the Taoist Gate to rebuild your faith!
Even Lin Chuan had already thought that Tang Xuanzang, who was possessed by himself, would definitely not be able to escape the end of being controlled by the Daomen in the end, and even Wukong would become a tool of the Daomen and the Heavenly Court.
"Bajie, this is as you wish, are you willing to agree?" Lin Chuan curled the corners of his mouth.
"I'd better forget it, I've long been used to life outside, I really can't get used to returning to heaven, it's not that I can't use my supernatural powers to become humanoid, besides, there's nothing wrong with my body, my skin is thick and patient, the most important thing is to become an immortal official, I can't be a target, I can't stand it." Bajie scratched his head with a smile, but he couldn't see the deep meaning.
So, Lin Chuan looked at Sha Wujing again.
"Master, I don't want to." Sha Wujing did not hesitate and was completely loyal.
"Although I really want to turn into a dragon, if I want to stay in Heaven by myself, I can't do it, we must be together." The white dragon horse hurriedly shook his head.
In the end, Lin Chuan's gaze fell on Wukong.
Wukong said: "What if you enter the heavenly court, what if you don't enter? As long as my heart is higher than the sky, I am a Monkey King wherever I go, so why should I care about this so-called false name? ”
"It seems that the westward journey has changed a lot for a few people, since a few people are unwilling, then I won't force a few people, Heavenly Court will arrange a place for a few people, and I hope that during this period, a few people can change their attention and seriously consider it." The Jade Emperor's face changed slightly, but he still had a smile.
"Why do you have to say it so nicely, it's better to make it clear, anyway, if we don't agree, we will never be able to get out of the gate of heaven, right, because from your standpoint, you can't let any of us have freedom, you want to use this kind of favor to trap us, but I'm sorry, we don't eat this set." Lin Chuan Mingren does not speak dark words.
From all the way in just now, Lin Chuan had already found that all positions were heavily guarded, especially the four heavenly gates of the Heavenly Court, which were even more tightly guarded.
"Since the holy monk understands the meaning, why should he make a big fuss, how hurtful and angry is this? Why don't you agree, there is no harm to you anyway, and you can still have immortal positions and all kinds of preferential treatment. The Jade Emperor's face was not smiling, and his speech became more and more yin and yang.
What immortal is not immortal, as long as the conditions are accepted, it is equivalent to being under house arrest and being controlled, how can it be so good for no reason? There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Even Lin Chuan's own various props have to be bought from the system, and the system has never been free!
"If I say... Not? Lin Chuan's eyes narrowed into a slit.
At the same moment, Wukong secretly clenched the wishful stick, waiting for this sentence!
The Jade Emperor was choked, and subconsciously glanced at the Taishang Laojun on the side.
"It's okay if you don't agree, unless you can make a Taoist oath in public, never interfere with the order of the heavenly court from now on, be willing to stay in the mortal world for eternity, and not have any contradictions with the Daomen, and give up the mana of the whole body, become a real mortal, do not become an immortal or a Buddha, if you violate the Taoist oath, the Tao will die, and the five thunders will die." Taishang Laojun finally spoke, and his voice was full of undeniable majesty.
Oath!!
It is an oath made from the heart that the slightest violation will surely be fulfilled, and it is not a casual word.
It's just too much.
