Chapter 130: Taishang Laojun
"Old man, don't be angry! being angry is not good for your health!" Liu Rang was startled by the voice, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Ziyang Zhenren blowing his beard and staring at him.
"Of course I'm not angry!Does it have anything to do with me whether you die or not?" Ziyang Zhenren's face turned blue and he gritted his teeth.
Seeing Ziyang's real appearance, a warm current appeared in Liu Neng's heart. The reason why the old man scolded him so much was because he cared about him and was afraid that he would die in the hands of Zhijian.
Although his heart was warm, Liu Neng's face still maintained that underbeaten look, and made a frightened expression: "Old man, you don't really want to eat me, do you! I have a relationship with the goblins on the ground, and they said that people like me taste the worst." If you want to eat people, you'd better go find that little white face of Naojian! Otherwise, the big ass over there will do it!"
"Ahem!" Ziyang Zhenren looked in the direction that Liu Neng pointed, so angry that he almost didn't catch his breath. I saw a palace maid standing under the tree, with a big hip and a thin waist, and she looked very cute.
"Old man, are you alright! You're not in good health, so don't think about those things. This kind of thing, let's leave it to our young people to do it for you!" Liu Rang Ziyang Zhenren was startled, for fear that the old man would really make himself angry. He joked while patting him the back.
"You really have a heart, you can still make jokes at this time!" Ziyang Zhenren is a character who has survived three heavenly tribulations, but because he was injured by fighting with Wei Zheng, he was a little weakened, so Liu Neng calmed down after two shots. Seeing that he was not afraid of boiling water as a dead pig, he asked with hatred of iron not being made of steel.
"So what, sooner or later, you have to fight, and you have to beat hard, and the poor monk will not admit defeat if he dies. Liu Neng replied with a smile: "People say that the little white face has no kind eyes! Or my black face is more reliable, Chan'er's girl is good, how can I bear to let her jump into the fire!"
Looking at Liu Neng, who was not ashamed of his words, Ziyang Zhenren snorted angrily: "I think if the Third Holy Mother marries you, will she jump into the fire kang?"
"Jumping into the fire kang of the poor monk is better than marrying that little white face of Zhijian!" Liu Neng rolled his eyes, very sad that Ziyang Zhenren didn't understand him, and then came over with a smile: "Old man, you say." If you were to choose a son-in-law for your daughter, would you choose me, or would you choose that little white face!"
"Get out! Poor Dao doesn't even have a wife, how can he have a daughter!" Ziyang Zhenren knocked heavily on Liu Neng's bald head door angrily.
"What a waste, I don't even have a daughter. Liu Neng muttered, his voice was just enough for Ziyang Zhenren to hear, and the old man fell back angrily. But seeing Liu Neng's chivalrous expression, he knew that Liu Neng had done a bad job. He was even more angry, and said with a straight face: "Poor Dao is tired, you carry me to a place!"
"What?" This time it was Liu Neng's turn to be surprised, Ziyang Zhenren hit him, but he didn't have the strength, and now his head still hurts a little, why did he start to play a scoundrel in a blink of an eye? Although flying is forbidden in the heavenly court, which of these heavenly immortals is not acting like the wind, and those who want to go just need to go by themselves, Ziyang Zhenren said this, don't you see him Liu Da Monk is good to bully.
"Don't talk nonsense! If you really want to die in the hands of Zhijian, then don't worry about the poor road!" Ziyang Zhenren saw Liu Neng hesitate, and replied angrily.
"Old man, you have a way!" Liu Neng asked in surprise.
"No!" Now it was Ziyang Zhenren's turn to roll his eyes.
"Your old man's injury is just right, but you can't be tired! Wherever you want to go, you just have to say, the poor monk promises to send you quickly and steadily!" Seeing that Ziyang Zhenren was not reluctant, Liu Neng said a word of flattery, and then squatted on the ground.
"Go!" Seeing that Liu Neng surrendered defeat, Ziyang Zhenren smiled helplessly, he was not as lazy as Liu Neng, and he still had something to do. But it can't be cheapened This flamboyant little monk, seeing that Liu Neng had already put on a pose, he first used a jack of falling skill, and then slammed Liu Neng's back.
"Old man, you're too heavy. Ziyang Zhenren moved like this, Liu Neng only felt as if his back was pressed by a mountain, his eyes were black, and his waist was almost broken.
"If you can't bear this bit of hardship, then you can just admit defeat. Ziyang Zhenren crouched on Liu Neng's back, as if riding a high-headed horse, and slapped him hard at his bald head: "Hurry up, Poor Dao plans to give up this old face today and ask for that glimmer of life for you." If you delay your efforts on the road, don't blame the poor road for not helping you. ”
"This old man is clearly a communiqué personal vendetta!" Liu Neng said a word in his heart, but he was very grateful for Ziyang Zhenren's love in his heart, desperately destroying the true qi in his body, carrying the mountain of Ziyang Zhenren on his back, and walking forward according to the route he said.
This walk took more than an hour, Liu Neng was so tired that he was sweating, and he didn't know where to go. It felt like walking through one huge staircase after another, as if climbing a building.
"Okay! It's the place!" Liu Neng finally heard Ziyang Zhenren's words, as if he had heard the sound of the Holy Decree, and looked back at Ziyang Zhenren with strength, panting heavily.
"Be honest! Hurry up and follow me!" Ziyang Zhenren didn't sympathize with Liu Neng's fatigue at all, kicked him hard with his foot, and then straightened his clothes, straightened his jade crown, and walked forward with a serious face.
Seeing Ziyang Zhenren like this, Liu Nengdao also guessed where he wanted to go. Naturally, he didn't dare to slack off, even if he was as tired as a dog, he had to make a sanctimonious appearance and follow behind Ziyang Zhenren.
Ziyang Zhenren did not squint, turned the jade steps, crossed the terrace, and walked like flowing water, without the slightest weakness after the initial recovery from serious injuries.
After walking hundreds of steps and entering a huge courtyard, Liu Neng felt that his eyes suddenly opened up. Deep in the courtyard, a lonely octagonal palace looks extremely strange, and a strong medicinal fragrance wafts in the courtyard.
"Presumably this is the Tushi Palace where Taishang Laojun lives!" Liu Neng smelled this medicinal fragrance and became more and more sure of his guess. Everything here seems very mysterious, in contrast to the luxury and majesty of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. In fact, this is normal, Taishang Laojun is the ancestor of Taoism, and he is a figure on an equal footing with the Buddha, and at this level, he no longer needs to show his majesty in external objects.
Sure enough, when Liu Neng followed Ziyang Zhenren to the front of the palace, he saw a plaque with black characters on a blue background, which was simple and careless, and it was written in the three big characters of Tushi Palace.
At this moment, the door of the hall opened, and a child in silver clothes came out from inside, combing the horns, looking extremely lively, and as soon as he went out, he saluted Ziyang Zhenren and Liu Neng and said: "Uncle Ziyang, Master Fahai, the silver furnace is ordered by Lao Jun to wait for the two masters!"
Ziyang Zhenren is not strange, and Liu Neng is watching Journey to the West, such a top character, which is not a clever calculation. When it is said that on a whim, you can calculate the past and the future with a single finger. With the skill of the etheric Laojun, it was calculated that his visit by the great monk Liu was exactly what he should do.
But what he was thinking about now was another thing, I didn't know if the little boy in silver in front of him was the unlucky guy from the silver horn. I also remember that Lao Jun still has an old green cow here, who once made Tang Seng and his apprentices disgraced, and I don't know where that guy is now.
"Moo!" As if hearing Liu Neng's call, a loud cow roar came from behind the hall.
"Please!" Yinlu bowed down and introduced Liu Neng and Ziyang Zhenren into the palace, and arranged to sit in a reception room before leaving.
The interior is extremely simple, with nothing but a huge yin and yang taiji diagram.
Liu Neng saw Ziyang Zhenren sitting there silently, looking like no one was approaching, and he didn't dare to disturb him. He didn't have the courage of a monkey to steal Lao Jun's things to eat. He followed his example, closed his eyes, and began to nourish his spirit.
"Zhang Ziyang has seen the ancestor!"
After only waiting for a moment, Liu Neng heard the greeting of Ziyang Zhenren in the house, and couldn't help but be very surprised. I didn't expect Ziyang Zhenren to be Lao Jun's apprentice. But after thinking about it, it makes sense, Lao Jun is the ancestor of Taoism, and it would be strange if the old Tao of Ziyang Zhenren had nothing to do with him. Although he didn't feel that there was one more person in the room, he also knew that Ziyang Zhenren would not joke about this kind of thing, so he hurriedly opened his eyes.
Seeing that there was a person sitting cross-legged in front of him, with white eyebrows and white beard, a purple and gold crown on his head, wearing a gossip fairy clothes, his face was like a baby, and he could be broken by blowing. Sitting there, it was like a ball of air, and it was like a phantom, which shocked Liu Nengzhi into a cold sweat.
With his current level of perception, even if a figure of Yang Jian's level appeared beside him, he would be aware of it. But Lao Jun's appearance was not recruited, and what surprised him even more was that Lao Jun sat there, giving him a feeling of seeing flowers in the fog, that feeling he had in Da Yue Rulai's body, but it was more obvious in Lao Jun.
Before Liu Neng could greet Lao Neng, Lao Jun's eyes had already looked at Liu Neng. Like a bolt of lightning piercing the sky. Liu Neng felt that he had a palpitation at that time, and the other party's temperament was as condensed as a mountain, scattered like an ocean, and unfathomable. He only felt that in front of Lao Jun, he was a baby, a transparent person, and his internal organs were seen through by Lao Jun at a glance, even the Buddha Kingdom in his body was no exception.
Fortunately, Lao Jun only glanced at him and closed his eyes, otherwise, Liu Neng would have to be scared.
"Master, Master Fahai and his apprentices have the grace to save their lives. Bring him here this time, I want to ask the ancestor to give him a nine-turn golden pill!" Seeing Lao Jun close his eyes, Ziyang Zhenren spoke cautiously.
"Nine Turns Jindan!" Liu Neng glanced at Ziyang Zhenren gratefully when he heard this, it seemed that this old man had really tried his best. Lao Jun is the number one alchemy master in the world, and the effect of the Nine Turns Golden Pill he refines is extraordinary. Sun Monkey's steel and iron bones were achieved because after eating Lao Jun's Nine Turns Golden Pill, he was sent into the Dan furnace to refine it for seven hundred and forty-nine days.
"Even if there is a nine-turn golden pill, he is not Zhijian's opponent!" Lao Jun said slowly.
"What Master Ancestor said is that Master Fahai's cultivation time is too short, if the apprentice grandson has a way, he won't dare to disturb your Qing cultivation!" Seeing Lao Jun reply, Ziyang Zhenren continued.
"Zhang Ziyang, you are my apprentice. Don't you know what kind of family background Lao Dao has? What do you want? Just say it together, you don't have to spit out!"
"I know that the apprentice grandson can't hide this little bit from you, and the apprentice wants to borrow two treasures from you. Seeing that Lao Jun was always kind and pleasant, Ziyang Zhenren's courage began to grow.
"That's right, it's better to be Vajra. Seeing the soldiers and collecting the soldiers, seeing the fire and collecting the fire, everything is unstoppable. If you don't tie the fairy rope, you can directly tie Zhijian on, and then the poor monk can do whatever he wants. Liu Neng's heart fluttered and fluttered, looking at Lao Jun's face nervously, hoping to hear good news.
"No!" To Liu Neng's disappointment, Lao Jun directly rejected Ziyang Zhenren's request: "The dispute between Zhijian and Master Fahai is a competition set by the Jade Emperor, and it is impossible for Lao Dao to break the rules!"
"Master?" Ziyang Zhenren saw that Lao Jun disagreed, and then pleaded.
"This matter must not be agreed, if it is something else, can Lao Dao be accommodating?" Lao Jun's face remained unchanged, and then he said.
"Master, the apprentice wants to ask for your way to move the mountain!" Ziyang Zhenren continued without hesitation.
"Zhang Ziyang, you have a good idea to fight. Lao Jun laughed when he heard this: "Master Fahai has saved your life and deserves to be repaid." The method of moving mountains is just a small technique. Come here, and I'll pass it on to you now!"
Liu Neng naturally knows the method of moving mountains, and the Golden Horn and Silver Horn have used such wonderful methods, and even Sun Wukong has smashed a golden star. If it weren't for the fact that he still had a bit of a position in the heavenly court and pulled the mountain god over, I am afraid that after the monkey was pressed by the Five Elements Mountain, he would have to be pressed by the three mountains for a while, and it would not be possible to release Tang Seng until he was gnawed off the remaining bones.
"Zhang Ziyang, you go to the Golden Furnace to get the Dan. Lao Dao wants to have a few words with Master Fahai!" Lao Jun passed the mountain moving method to Ziyang Zhenren in a few words, and then spoke.
"Yes, Master!" Ziyang Zhenren gave another salute before leaving the quiet room.
"I've seen Lao Jun!" Liu Neng stepped forward and said solemnly.
"You're welcome. Lao Dao has heard of your name for a long time. Lao Jun waved his hand casually and said gently.
"It turns out that Lao Jun knows the boy's real name!" Liu Neng replied cautiously.
"You don't have to play tricks on me, it was Yang Chan's girl who told me. And I also heard that you want to use this matter to blackmail Lao Dao, and you want Lao Dao to give an order to find you a fairy as a wife!"
Liu Neng was embarrassed, he didn't expect Lao Jun to say this matter directly, but looking at the smile on Lao Jun's face, it is estimated that he was not angry with himself, and his courage became bigger: "Lao Jun don't want to make fun of the boy, the Three Holy Mothers let the poor monk enter the Huasheng Temple to investigate the arrangements for the Buddha to spread the scriptures to the east." Until now, the poor monk doesn't even know which way the door of the Huasheng Temple opens, where do he dare to ask Lao Jun for a reward!"
"What I want you to check is only the arrangement of the Buddha to transmit the scriptures to the east, and it has nothing to do with whether you go to the Huasheng Temple or not. You did a good job, not only did you find out about the matter, but you also worshipped the Bodhisattva Buddha as your teacher, and even the Great Saying Rulai looked at you with eyes. ”
"Jizo Buddha!" Liu Neng was surprised and delighted when he heard this. Listening to Lao Jun's meaning, his master has become a Buddha, and his status has risen with the tide. Generally speaking, the Buddha's personal disciple should be a bodhisattva. Does that mean that in the future, others will be called Liu Neng, and they will no longer be called Master Fahai, but should be called Fahai Bodhisattva.
With the support of the Great Buddha and the Buddha from the East, the Bodhisattva became a Buddha on the ground. Since then, there is one more Buddha in Lingshan, and one more Bodhisattva in Heaven. Lao Jun saw Liu Neng's thoughts and laughed.
"Lao Jun praised the kid too much, how can the kid be qualified to be a bodhisattva!" Liu Neng was not carried away by this news, but was vigilant, listening to Lao Jun's meaning, he wanted him to go back to Buddhism and be a long-term undercover agent. When Monk Liu had not yet entered the Nantianmen, the matter of his gambling with Yang Jian was in an uproar. In another ten days, there will be a gambling fight between him and Shi Zhenjian, with the surname of Zhijian and great joy, it is estimated that he will go up to the heavenly court, down to the underworld, and to the Lingshan and the four seas, and all of them will know the news. If he couldn't behead Liu Neng in front of the immortals in the world, how could he revenge Liu Neng for countless evils in the Golden Palace. Thinking of this, Liu Neng's heart began to tremble. In case Lao Jun ordered him to go back to be an undercover agent, should he run to Dongsheng Shenzhou to hide, or should he run to the northern Ganzhou?
"Liu Neng, you seem to have thought too much! Ten days later, it's not certain whether this little life can belong to you? It's too early to think about this!" Liu Neng thought about it in his heart for a long time, and then finally returned to normal, and slapped himself on the head fiercely.
"Let's talk about it, how does the Buddha plan to preach the scriptures?" Lao Jun asked directly as if he hadn't seen Liu Neng's masochism.
Liu Neng had already been aware of this matter, and he still had some things he couldn't understand before, but when he found out that Wei Zheng had taken refuge in Buddhism, those things that didn't make sense were easily solved. But when Lao Jun asked him, he replied: "Qi Lao Jun, from a boy's point of view, if the Buddha wants to pass on the scriptures, he must solve one of the most important problems. ”
"What's the problem?"
"Dongsheng Shenzhou has always been the world of Taoism, and most of the subjects believe in Laojun. Although Buddhism has some followers, there are too few followers. If you want the people to believe in Buddhism, you must use the power of the government!"
"That's right! My Taoism has long been deeply rooted among the people, unless Buddhism sends 500 arhats to show miracles everywhere. Otherwise, if you want to convert the people to Buddhism, it will be difficult to go to the sky. It is a way for the government to come forward and suppress the people's belief in Buddhism by decree, but will the government do this?"
"Naturally, the government will not do this, and it will be disgusted by this matter. Therefore, the transmission of the scriptures cannot be the transmission of the scriptures, but should be called the collection of the scriptures. Liu Neng nodded in agreement.
"Learn from the scriptures!" Hearing this, Lao Jun became interested and bowed slightly.
"That's right, it's called learning scriptures, and the Tang Emperor ordered to learn scriptures!"
"How could Emperor Tang give such an order, isn't he afraid that the people will not agree?" Lao Jun retorted.
"But what if Emperor Tang is threatened?" Seeing Lao Jun's look full of interest, Liu Neng smiled mysteriously.
