Chapter 148: "Difficult"

Yuan Shi Tianzun said goodbye to Sanqing, returned to his palace, made a little preparation, and then set off to find the ancestor of the earth immortals, Zhenyuan Daxian.

Yuan Shi Tianzun knew about the affairs of heaven and earth, and had already calculated his current location, and did not make a detour, and went straight away.

Where is the ancestor of this earth immortal now? It turned out that he was in his residence at this time, and he had never traveled out to visit friends.

Yuan Shi Tianzun knew that he had not traveled far, so he came before.

Yuan Shi Tianzun arrived at the abode of the earth immortals, saw that this place is surrounded by mountains, it is a quiet place, there is a courtyard manor in the mountain, there is a towering ancient tree in the courtyard, this tree is born with heaven and earth, it is a fairy tree, named ginseng tree, and bears the immortal fruit of ginseng for ten thousand years.

When Yuan Shi Tianzun saw the ginseng sacred tree, he knew that he had arrived at the location of Zhenyuan Daxian, so he collected the auspicious clouds, landed in front of the manor, and knocked lightly.

There was a boy guarding the door, and when he saw someone knocking on the door, he opened the door and saw that he was a Taoist chief, and asked what he meant.

Yuan Shi Tianzun said that he wanted to see his master, and the little boy went to the door to report.

Zhenyuan Daxian was recuperating under the fairy tree in the garden, and when he heard the boy say that someone wanted to see him, he knew that he was an extraordinary god in heaven and earth, and he was busy getting up and going out to greet him.

When I came to the door, I saw that the person who came was none other than the Yuan Shi Tianzun in the Three Qings, and hurriedly bowed and worshipped: "The Great Tianzun has come and has never been far away, forgive your sins!"

Yuan Shi Tianzun smiled and returned the salute: "Immortal Ancestor is polite." ”

Then he followed him into the winner's living room, and the boy came up to drink fruit and tea.

Zhenyuan Daxian said: "I haven't seen you for many days, Tianzun is busy with affairs in the heavenly court, and now I have to come to my humble room, I don't know what advice?"

Yuan Shi Tianzun saw him ask directly, and he didn't detour: "Immortal Ancestor is so uncomfortable, I came here this time to invite Immortal Ancestor to join my Sanqing Daomen, I don't know if you are willing." ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun was even more straight to the point, without tactful temptation, and asked his meaning.

The ancestor of this earth immortal was originally a free immortal, he did not seek to establish a household, nor did he enter his door, but he had no choice but to make friends with the Buddha to do some things in this town and Tongbing, today I saw that the Yuan Shi Tianzun wanted to invite him to enter the Sanqing Daomen, and it seemed that there was no choice from it, and he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, overflowing in the surface.

Immortal Ancestor said to Yuan Shi Tianzun: "Thanks to Tianzun's high opinion, I am a scattered immortal in the earth realm, and I have never thought of entering any sect or sect. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun saw him refusing, he had expected it, and said without hurrying or slowing: "Immortal Ancestor is at ease, I have no interference with Sanqing, but now between today and today, the faction is divided, and the Immortal Ancestor has a vast mana, if you can enter my Dao Gate, it is the luck of my door, if you can enter other doors, will you not regret it." ”

The Immortal Ancestor listened to Tianzun's words and was soft and hard, if it was another little immortal, it would be an honor to dare not obey, but the ancestor of this earth immortal only worshiped heaven and earth, did not enter his door, and never thought of joining any party.

Besides, there is a Bodhi Patriarch behind him, but it is inconvenient to reveal it in front of the Dao Ancestor, Lao Jun said so bluntly, but he still failed to impress him, but he was silent.

Yuan Shi Tianzun saw that his words were unsuccessful, and did not force him to speak further, he stood up and walked slowly to the fairy tree in the courtyard.

Yuan Shi Tianzun pointed to the immortal tree and asked, "How old is this tree?"

When the Immortal Ancestor asked, he replied: "This tree is the spiritual root that was conceived at the beginning of chaos and before the heavens and the earth were opened. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun turned to him and asked, "How old are you now?"

"Tianzun knows it, and it is also on a par with heaven and earth. ”

"Why did you survive so much?"

"It was because of my hard work that I was able to live together in heaven and earth. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Shi Tianzun smiled and said, "What treasure is born on this tree?"

When the Immortal Ancestor saw Yuan Shi Tianzun asking like this, he didn't understand what he meant, and replied: "What Yuan Shi Tianzun is referring to, everyone knows that it is the grass that bears on my tree, and it is also a famous ginseng fruit. It blooms in three thousand years, bears fruit in three thousand years, ripens in three thousand years, and bears thirty fruits in ten thousand years. If you eat one, you will have to live for 47,000 years. ”

After listening to his answer, Yuan Shi Tianzun did not continue to talk, only stretched out his hand, and in an instant, he saw that the original green and tall towering divine tree with lush branches was immediately uprooted, hanging in the air, and the roots were exposed.

Seeing this, the Earth Immortal Ancestor was shocked, and hurriedly said: "What does Tianzun mean by this, why did you destroy my immortal tree, this is the only root of heaven and earth, there is no other tree, if it is uprooted like this, it will not be the essence of the earth, and it will dry up immediately!" ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun saw that he was doing this, so he was puzzled: "Immortal Ancestor can live forever by cultivating, and this tree can only live forever, there is no other use, what is the use of this tree? Why don't I go back and dry this branch and put it in the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun as some firewood." ”

When the Immortal Ancestor heard Yuan Shi's words, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and hurriedly said: "Tianzun said that it was funny, this tree is of great use to me, it's a pity, it's a pity......" and then looked at the withering wood, and paused again and again, but he didn't dare to attack Yuan Shi Tianzun.

That Yuan Shi Tianzun was still unhurried, and asked casually, "Oh, what's the use of the Immortal Ancestor?"

The immortal ancestor was in a hurry to persecute and tell the truth: "Therefore, the immortal fruit produced by the tree is a rare treasure in heaven and earth, and you can prolong your life by eating it, but you can win countless cultivation painstaking work, I often give it to the immortals, and the immortals will give it to the queen mother at the peach banquet, which can be said to be of great use." ”

When Yuan Shi Tianzun heard this, he smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out that the ancestor of the dignified immortals still wants to use this treasure to tie up the immortals, which can be described as a joke." ”

When the Immortal Ancestor heard this, he was half ashamed, and said: "Tianzun is not talking about stammering, but just making friends." ”

"I didn't tell the truth. ”

Seeing that the Immortal Ancestor couldn't hide it from Tianzun, he said truthfully: "Tianzun is the incarnation of the true spirit of heaven and earth, and all things in the heavens and on the earth can't escape the eyes of Tianzun. To tell you the truth, I'm also planning for my own foothold. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun nodded, and Zhenyuan Daxian continued: "Although I am the ancestor of the earth immortals, I was only born a few days earlier than the immortals, although I set up my own door, and I am not isolated from heaven and earth. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun nodded and replied: "I know that you are working hard, but now I have a method that allows you to live without having to work hard everywhere." ”

Hearing what Tianzun said, Immortal Ancestor hurriedly asked, "Oh, what is Tianzun's magic method, I would like to listen to the guidance." ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun only replied with four words: "Enter my Dao Gate." ”

When the Earth Immortal Ancestor heard this, he immediately groaned again, staring down at the immortal tree in mid-air, and pondered slightly.

After a moment, he raised his head and said: "It is a great honor for Tianzun to invite me, but I have always been at ease, and I have not contributed to the Daomen, what virtue can I enter the Daomen? ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun knew that its power was meager and independent, but it was only because of the treasure tree that he relied on to make friends with the immortals that he could get away, so he first uprooted the tree and persuaded him to get started.

Now seeing that his heart is moved, he will explain the purpose of this trip and the discernment, and Yuan Shi Tianzun told the ancestor of the earth immortals: "This time he was invited to enter, so that there can be an immortal who is enough to compete with the Buddha. ”

At this point, the town Yuan Daxian only understood the purpose of Yuan Shi Tianzun's trip, and it turned out that Sanqing was afraid of the expansion of Buddhism and invited him to join in.

The Immortal Ancestor weighed and weighed in his heart: "Although the Sanqing is supernatural, there are many disciples, and the Buddha Gate is also extraordinary, especially the power of the Buddha, and where to confront it, there is no good result, but the Yuan Shi Tianzun has come to the front, personally invited, there is almost no possibility of refusal, otherwise his fate is probably not much better than the ginseng tree, that tree is Tianzun is giving him a reminder, don't fight against it." ”

Thinking of this, the Immortal Ancestor said to Yuan Shi Tianzun: "It's okay to enter the Sanqing Sect, but I have three conditions."

Yuan Shi Tianzun saw that he agreed, but he was not surprised, so he said: "Immortal Ancestor agreed, willing to submit, that is really good, I don't know which three conditions are." ”

"First, when I entered the Daomen, I was still independent and did not participate in the affairs of the Daomen. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun listened, sighed, nodded, and continued to listen to his follow-up.

The Immortal Ancestor continued: "The second is that I contribute to the Daomen, but I do not participate in the direct confrontation with the Buddhism. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun listened, nodded again, and did not answer.

The Immortal Ancestor said: "Third, this treasure tree is a tree that is born with me for ten thousand tribulations, and I also ask Tianzun to restore the divine law, I am very grateful." ”

After listening to the three conditions of the Immortal Ancestor, Yuan Shi Tianzun nodded and said: "These three conditions can all be agreed, but when I start to talk about the Mixed Yuan Dao Method, you need to come and listen to the sermon together." ”

Immortal Ancestor smiled: "This is okay, I can't ask for it, but I also ask Tianzun to restore the treasure tree as soon as possible."

Yuan Shi Tianzun saw that he had agreed to enter the Dao Gate, so he would not be embarrassed with him, but he had to explain some specific matters first, and said to the Immortal Ancestor: "You have entered my Dao Gate now, and you have been ordered to guard the road to the West Heaven, survey the trend, and do not let the West extend and expand. I know that you have a relationship with that Buddha, and it is inappropriate to directly confront it, and it is not my original intention. As for the ginseng sacred tree, I will place it well, not because he wants to, don't be angry. ”

"Thank you Tianzun, the disciple doesn't dare. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun then cast his mana and pointed towards the treasure tree, only to see that the ginseng treasure tree had its roots and whiskers into the ground, and the ginseng fruit was full of vigor and vigor, swaying in the treetops, and the fairy tree was stable, and then it returned to its former lush branches and leaves, which was more lush than before.

That Zhenyuan couldn't help but sigh at the mana of Yuan Shi Tianzun, saluted, and thanked him loudly.

And this matter was seen by the little monk not far away.

Although the ancestor of the earth immortal entered the Daomen and changed the name of the Daomen, Nazhen Yuanzi was worried in his heart, not knowing whether joining the Daomen this time was a blessing or a curse, so he was neither ostentatious nor deliberately close to that Daomen.

Yuan Shi Tianzun arranged for Zhenyuan Daxian to return to heaven and told Na Taishang Laojun and Lingbao Tianzun, both of whom admired Yuan Shi's methods.

But Lingbao Tianzun asked another question, and Lingbao asked Yuan Shi: "I don't know if my brother has considered the possibility of that Immortal Ancestor Zhenyuan secretly taking refuge in the West Heaven again? ”

"I didn't take it into account, it was far away from the western sky, and it was difficult to approach for a while. ”

"This Zhenyuan was originally not a person from my Daomen, I thought that if I came to set up the Menglan Bon Club and invited him to go, I had dealings with all the immortals in the West Heaven, although now he was admitted to my door by Tianzun, seeing the conditions he proposed, I am afraid that he will move left and right, and it is appropriate to send someone to supervise. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun both nodded yes, and Zanlingbao Tianzun was thoughtful.

Lao Jun said: "I will find a suitable person to supervise the matter." ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun said: "Since Lao Jun is out of the horse, I don't need to worry about it. ”
