Chapter 15, The Disaster of the Jade Emperor
At this time, a Taoist priest sitting next to Xu Hao said with a smile: "The Jade Emperor can manage us monks, can he also manage mortals to tell stories, not to mention that this is a real thing, doesn't the Jade Emperor let people tell the truth, and wants to do things for the purpose of the road!" This is what the Mortal Faint King does."
Xu Hao said with a smile: "I thought that everyone would always take care of the face of the Jade Emperor and would not publicize such a thing." ”
The Taoist priest said with a smile: "This is also the Jade Emperor who should have this calamity, whoever let him sit on the supreme position in the world will respond to the wishes of all sentient beings and suffer calamity." ”
Xu Hao was surprised: "As the Lord of Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor still needs to go through tribulations. ”
The Taoist priest looked at Xu Hao in surprise and said, "This is already a well-known thing in the cultivation world, and Daoist friends don't know it."
Xu Hao said: "Poor Dao has just flown from Datang to Dongsheng Shenzhou, so I don't know anything here. ”
The Taoist priest suddenly realized, and then said to Xu Hao: "In this world, as long as you are a monk, you will go through calamities, even if it is the Jade Emperor. ”
Xu Hao said: "What calamity has this Jade Emperor experienced? ”
The Taoist priest said: "Human robbery! Did you find that the Jade Emperor's family often had things, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were in love with each other more than once, the sister of the Jade Emperor in the earliest ancient period, Princess Yaochi fell into the mortal world and gave birth to the Erlang God and the Three Holy Mother, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl appeared in the Han Dynasty, and the Seven Fairies and Dong Yongsheng fell in love in the Two Jin Dynasty. ”
Xu Hao was surprised: "It's really like this, every time a person and an immortal fall in love with each other, it happens to the relatives of the Jade Emperor!" Could it be that someone is calculating the Jade Emperor?"
Xu Hao also knew that after a few years, there would be a story of the Baolian lantern, the sister of Erlang God, the Third Lady and Liu Yanchang, fell in love, and finally led to the agarwood to save the mother and split the mountain, which was just the niece of the Jade Emperor.
The people who had the accident were all the relatives of the Jade Emperor, which is too much to say.
The Taoist priest smiled: "The Jade Emperor is the best in heaven and earth, who dares to calculate him?" And who can calculate him? ”
Xu Hao was curious: "Is there any secret in this?" ”
The Taoist priest smiled: "This is not a secret thing, the reason why the relatives around the Jade Emperor have been repeatedly calamated is just a backlash caused by humanity."
And the Jade Emperor, as the lord of the heavenly court, naturally became the main bearer of this backlash. ”
Xu Hao was curious: "What kind of grievances does humanity have?" Why do you want to find the Jade Emperor? ”
The Taoist priest smiled: "Did you find that the time when these stories happened is very wonderful, Princess Ji Yao happened in the three dynasties period, when the nobles and commoners were divided into two classes, and they did not intermarry with each other, and Dong Yong's incident happened in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the gate valve clan targeted the imperial court, so that the Hanmen clan had no place to get ahead, and the Cowherd and Weaver Girl happened in the two Jin Dynasty periods, when the power of the gate valve clan had reached the point of covering the sky with one hand, and they intermarried with each other, completely cutting off the road of the four sons of the Hanmen. ”
"At that time, the people looked at the daughters of those gate lords and scholars, like fairies who were high up and out of reach. And complained that these gate valves blocked everyone's way forward. Therefore, the wish of all beings is to break the barrier between the two.
As a result, humanity responds to the wishes of all beings and breaks down barriers. That's why there will be a high-flying fairy princess, who likes ordinary mortals in the world, and to a certain extent, these relatives of the Jade Emperor can be regarded as helping him resist the catastrophe. Otherwise, how could a fairy who was high up like mortals, especially the Cowherd, who was just a farmer.
And these stories are circulated, so that everyone can see hope, in order to calm the grievances of all beings, to a certain extent, this can be regarded as helping the Jade Emperor.
Xu Hao said with a smile: "It is estimated that the Jade Emperor doesn't want everyone to help him like this, but the poor road is very strange, I said that Nanzhang is not leaving, respecting the heavens and worshiping the Buddha, why do Taoist friends seem to be not very respectful to the Jade Emperor?" ”
The Taoist priest said helplessly: "The Jade Emperor is in charge of the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court, every 500 years, he will bring calamity to our monks, how many brothers of the same sect of the poor Dao, died under this heavenly calamity, how could they have a good impression of this high Jade Emperor."
Daoists may not know that few of the cultivators and immortals in Dongsheng Shenzhou would have any good impression of the Jade Emperor, if it weren't for him, we and other monks would be at ease and happy in the world, where would they be like now, thinking about how to avoid the catastrophe of the past five hundred years every day. ”
"I see!"
Indeed, the monk can be said to be the closest existence to the Jade Emperor, and ordinary people may fear or worship the Jade Emperor.
And these monks, their masters or ancestors, can get close to the Jade Emperor. Naturally, there will be no awe if you are familiar with it, but because of the relationship between the Heavenly Tribulation, you are even a little hostile to the Jade Emperor.
The Taoist priest looked at Xu Hao and asked, "How long does it take to become an immortal?" ”
Xu Hao said: "Just these few years! ”
Taoist priest: "I see, Taoist friends still have nearly 500 years, no wonder they are not afraid of catastrophes."
Xu Hao asked curiously, "Is the Heavenly Tribulation really so terrifying?" ”
The Taoist priest said strangely: "Could it be that Daoist friends have not experienced the thunder tribulation when they become immortals!" ”
Xu Hao said: "No"
At this time, the Taoist priest carefully observed Xu Hao for a while. Envy said: "It turns out that Daoyou is a person who has become an immortal, no wonder he has not experienced a catastrophe, and the true immortal is really enviable." ”
Xu Hao said: "Since Daoyou knows that merit can avoid the heavenly calamity, why don't you do more?" Things that accumulate merit. ”
said with a wry smile: "If the merit is so good, there will be merit immortals all over the world, but immortals like Daoyou are in the four continents, I'm afraid it won't be one in a hundred." ”
Xu Hao didn't have anything to say about this, if he wasn't standing in the lower reaches of the timeline, he wouldn't have been able to accumulate merit so easily.
Not to mention that the true immortals of this world are afraid of cause and effect, and dare not go deep into the mortal world, and cannot benefit the people, how can they get merit, for the heavenly way of this world, every monk is a big pest, so there will be 500 years of one day to eliminate these pests, otherwise these immortals will live forever, even if it is a fairy world like Journey to the West, it will collapse.
At this time, the storyteller on the stage began to tell the story of Journey to the West again, 6 years have passed, and Journey to the West has come to an end, because Tang Seng has been gone for 9 years, Xu Hao remembers that Tang Seng seems to have walked for 14 years to reach Lingshan, and now there are no more years.
What the storyteller said was what Tang Seng encountered in Lion Camel Ridge.
Xu Hao said: "Tang Seng and their news actually spread to Dongsheng Shenzhou, this is across the sea?" ”
The Taoist priest said with a smile: "There are many monks in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and it is not easy to cross a sea, not to mention that the entire cultivation world is now paying attention to Tang Seng's journey to the west, which is really enviable, just walking for 100,000 miles, not only can you get immeasurable merits, but you can also become a Buddha and become the top monk in the fairy world!" Poor Dao also wants such a good thing, but it's a pity that Poor Dao is not a disciple of Rulai. ”
