Chapter 66 Daomen's Countermeasures in the Face of Journey to the West
Long Zu fell into deep thought, and the Xuandu ** Master did not continue to tempt and interfere with words anymore.
Because, Master Xuandu knows that the other party will definitely make a choice that is inclined to him.
This is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy. Master Xuandu just said what was on the surface.
The only thing that is hidden is that what Master Xuandu is talking about is the monkey king "Jiang Chen". However, Long Zu thought that Jiang Chen was the incarnation of the "Chaos Demon Ape". Of course, this is also a big secret that Xuandu ** Shi and Taishang Laojun jointly concealed. Even today's Western religion, under the deliberate cover of Lao Jun, I am afraid it is impossible to count this point.
And Long Zu, after a long period of contemplation, really sighed and made his choice: "...... I know. **What the teacher said is good, today's dragon clan does not have any other way to choose. ”
There is no doubt about defecting to Dongfang Xuanmen. Even if you think about it, it's the honor of the dragon family.
Because, if there is no cause and effect of the dragon girl Ao Qing and the "Monkey King", I am afraid that the dragon clan will not have the qualifications to defect to the Eastern Xuanmen!
In fact, this is because of the so-called "butterfly effect". Because of Jiang Chen's existence, the mentality of Taishang Laojun has changed a little compared to the original historical trajectory.
In the original "Journey to the West", the Eastern Sage is undoubtedly clear about the general trend of the rise of the West.
However, after all, the rise of the West is a destiny of heaven! Even saints cannot stop it.
Therefore, in "Journey to the West", the strategy adopted by the Eastern Xuanmen is to gather the luck and keep the Xuanmen able to consolidate the luck and preserve the strength before crossing to the west to the east, rather than forcibly confronting it.
Because of this, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there will be a hundred schools of thought.
Master Xuandu has been in the world before, incarnating as Guiguzi Wang Xu, teaching the atmospheric transporters in the world and teaching the classics of governing the world.
And Taishang Laojun, or "Daode Tianzun", also personally incarnated Lao Tzu to preach Taoism, and even later accepted the registered disciple Zhuangzi and asked him to preach on his behalf!
Lingbao Tianzun in the Three Qings of Taoism is the embodiment of Confucius, continuing the tradition of "teaching without class", teaching the seventy-two sages of Confucianism and Taoism, and establishing immortal luck.
It's a pity that because of the matter of sealing the gods, although Sanqing is reconciled on the surface, there is still mutual guilt in his heart. Therefore, when Confucius and Lao Tzu sat down and discussed the Tao in Kunlun Mountain, there was still a difference between seclusion and accession to the WTO in the end!
Later, because of the Confucian traitor Dong Zhongshu, Confucianism became a puppet-like existence in the West, which in turn imprisoned the hundred schools of thought of the Eastern Xuanmen. But overall, Xuanmen's strategy of preserving luck and strength remains unchanged.
This is also one of the reasons why in "Journey to the West", Taoism seems to be in decline, but Buddhism never dares to offend too much.
Of course, in "Journey to the West", Taishang Laojun did not do nothing, and he also left a few chess pieces behind for Journey to the West. However, it is not to fight, but only to lay the way back.
Therefore, in the original "Journey to the West", the dragon clan was nothing more than an inconsequential existence for Dongfang Xuanmen. Moreover, the dragon clan's cause and effect are chaotic, it is not so simple, if the purpose of the Xuanmen is only to preserve power, there is no need to deliberately solicit it.
However, because of this, in Journey to the West, the dragon clan could not see the hope of the Eastern Xuanmen, coupled with the continuous coercion and temptation of the West, Guanyin accepted Ao Qing as a good wealth dragon girl, and the little white dragon also became the mount of Tang Seng, and even the dragon clan became the so-called 'Eight Heavenly Dragons' (poor dragon clan, the little white dragon can only be used as a mount as the noble status of the prince of the dragon clan). In the end, in desperation, he had no choice but to defect to the West.
But that's no longer the case.
If it was just Sun Wukong and Lingming Stone Monkey alone, Taishang Laojun would naturally not be able to make up his mind to fight against the West. After all, the Lingming Stone Monkey is just one of the four monkeys in the mixed world. The Four Monkeys of the Chaos World are just the remnants of the Chaos Demon Ape.
Just look at the other three monkeys, the six-eared macaques are despised, they don't take it seriously, and they don't even teach the Dao. The Chijiri horse monkey has no branches, and was suppressed and sealed in the well when Dayu controlled the water. Yuan Hong, a gibbon monkey, was killed by a flying knife in the Romance of the Gods, and the true spirit was listed as a god. Although the Lingming Stone Monkey has the background of the Chaos Immortal Stone and the cause and effect of Nuwa, it is only that, and it does not play a vital role.
However, now that a "Jiang Chen" seems to have a more mysterious identity background, it is different.
In the eyes of Taishang Laojun, Jiang Chen's identity and background can't even be guessed by himself. What does this mean? This shows that the other party is very likely, no, the other party is 100% unbound by the "Heavenly Dao Technique". I'm afraid that only the reincarnation of an "innate being" under the Great Dao can do this.
And the innate beings would have died long ago when the heavens were opened. Only a few great supernatural beings can survive with supreme supernatural powers. For example, Yang Mei Daxian who mastered the "Space Dao", and the Time Demon God who mastered the "Time Dao"!
And they, even now, even the saints could not guess where they were. Perhaps only the "Supreme Dao Ancestor" and "the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao" could be clear about their movements.
If Jiang Chen is the reincarnation of such an existence, then it is possible that the Eastern Xuanmen will be able to rely on this existence to seek to rise and compete with the Western Sect again. Therefore, although it was only a small detail change, Jiang Chen's existence made the attitude of the Eastern Xuanmen towards the rise of the Western Sect change drastically!
Today's Taishang Laojun, although he is not determined to fight the West to the end. However, there is also the possibility of wanting to win luck with the other party.
Even if it's just a possibility, but for Taishang Laojun, it has to be complete. That's why there is such a thing as Xuandu's ** division recruiting the dragon clan.
Of course, compared to Western religions, there is no doubt that Long Zu will choose Xuanmen, and it is a natural thing.
Of course, Taishang Laojun would not have thought that the reason why Jiang Chen was not among the Heavenly Dao Techniques was actually very simple. That's because Jiang Chen is not the existence of this world.
This desolate heavenly way, in the final analysis, is nothing more than the supreme existence in the Journey to the West True Realm. All the heavens and all the worlds, every world has a heavenly way. It's just that the Heavenly Dao of the Journey to the West True Realm is beyond imagination, and it is even the sum of the Heavenly Dao of all the heavens and ten thousand realms. In other words, the Heavenly Dao of the rest of the world is covered by the Heavenly Dao of this "Journey to the West True Realm".
But even so, the so-called "Fifty Great Dao, Forty-Nine Heavenly Paths", even if it is the sum of all the world's Heavenly Dao, there are "defects" after all. Therefore, no matter how transcendent the Heavenly Dao is, what can dominate all worlds, all time and space, and all laws is still not the Heavenly Dao, but the "Great Dao"!
