Chapter Seventy-Four: The Jade Emperor's Attitude
After living in the Batu Cave for a few days, as soon as he had time, Zhao Qingyu talked with the black man about spells and his perception of the way of heaven, and from the process of talking, he learned that the black man did not have a master, and his magical powers came completely from a exercise, as for the name of the exercise, he didn't ask, even if he asked, it is estimated that the black man would not answer.

However, it is not difficult to see from this point that the black man's comprehension ability is very strong, even if it is not as good as a monkey, it is not far behind. And the black man has a great advantage, he likes to make friends with erudite and talented people, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he himself has become erudite, even if Zhao Qingyu comes from later generations and has a very wide range of knowledge, but in some aspects he is far inferior to the black man.
These days have been extremely fulfilling, but Zhao Qingyu has not forgotten the purpose of coming here, although the red boy made his intention clear before, but was rejected by the black man. But there is a glimmer of hope, Zhao Qingyu will not give up, think about Liu Bei when he invited Zhuge Liang out of the mountain, and he also looked at the thatched house.
Several times, when the black man was happy, he invited him to join his camp, but he politely declined. In the end, there was no way, Zhao Qingyu had to give up this idea for the time being, and when the monkey came to the door in the future, the black man was desperate, and then persuaded him to join.
The goal was not achieved, and Zhao Qingyu was disappointed, so he offered to leave.
The black man finally met a wonderful person who was familiar at first sight, and he did everything he could to keep it. Zhao Qingyu said: "Don't persuade the king, you are a wanderer, how can there be a reason to stay in one place and not leave." ”
The black man said: "The Taoist master misunderstood, I just want to keep you for a few more days, and I will never dare to delay your big event." ”
Zhao Qingyu said with a smile: "The king's kindness is appreciated in my heart." It's just that I've made up my mind, if I forcibly stay here, wouldn't it be against my will, then my mood will be affected, if it affects everyone's mood because of my own reasons, it's not beautiful, it's better to leave early!"
The black man sighed: "The Taoist chief said so, if I persuade the strong man to be difficult, even so, the Taoist has a smooth journey, if he thinks of me, he will come to the Batu Cave to live for a few days." Speaking of this, he paused, and then said, "As for the Taoist chief's intentions, I already know it. If you can't get along in this Black Wind Mountain in the future, you will inevitably go to the Taoist with your family, and I hope you won't dislike me when the time comes. ”
When Zhao Qingyu heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "If there is a day, I will lead all my subordinates out of the city to greet him, and I will let the king see my sincerity!"
......
In the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, all the immortals gathered, and they were all talking about it in private, and I don't know what important thing the Jade Emperor hurriedly summoned them to announce. Seeing that all the immortals were puzzled, the Jade Emperor snorted coldly and looked at the Tai Bai Xing in the Wen class
Tai Bai Xing understood, and said: "Long live Ming, today there is a Nether Jinghe Dragon King who violated the edict, changed the prescribed rain hour, and gave points, this move has violated the rules of heaven, please long live this karmic dragon to set an example." ”
As soon as these words came out, all the immortals changed color, and they all looked at Tai Bai Xing with an angry face, not knowing what kind of wind he was smoking today. Everyone is on an errand under the Jade Emperor, and they want to say that the will of the Jade Emperor will be completely implemented to the end, and it is estimated that no one present can do it, this matter has already reached a consensus in the fairy world, who has no means to see people in private, as long as it is not openly resistant.
In the eyes of the immortals, the Jinghe Dragon King changed the time of rain This is a completely trivial matter, and for some reason, Tai Bai Xing said it with great fanfare, and what did he say to set an example, isn't this a clear warning to them.
Therefore, if they didn't have a good face when they heard it, if it weren't for the presence of the Jade Emperor, they were afraid that they would have taught Tai Bai Xing a lesson together. For the old man recommended by Buddhism, they have long been displeased.
When the Jade Emperor heard this, he asked the person in charge of the rain department, and after learning that what Tai Bai Xing played was true, he immediately issued a golden decree and ordered Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty to be beheaded. After speaking, announcing his retirement from the dynasty, the Jade Emperor's anger in the heart of Buddhism in recent years has become more and more vigorous, and the former has asked Tai Baixing to deceive the Seven Fairies into the territory of Buddhism, and threaten them to support the scripture study plan.
Although the Jade Emperor was angry about this, considering that the plan of Buddhism in the process of integrating internal strength, it had leveled the rule of Taoism in Xiniuhezhou and dealt a blow to the arrogant Taoism, and out of strategic interests, he agreed to the request for cooperation put forward by Rulai. In the past few hundred years, he has been busy integrating the chaotic situation of Buddhism, and the constraints on Taoism are not as strong as before, and the Jade Emperor deeply understands that there is no such day, and he alone is not Laojun's opponent.
Therefore, he is also willing to cooperate with Buddhism in his heart, but he is angry with the despicable means of Rulai. Only a few years have passed since this happened, and Buddhism now needs a reason to pass on the sutras, and to sacrifice a chess piece in order for the plan to proceed seamlessly.
"Hey......"
Thinking of the troubles, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but sigh, although his position as the head of the Heavenly Court looked majestic, he couldn't be the master of many things. Above the court, among the two classes of immortals in the civil and military classes, Taoism accounts for sixty percent, Buddhism accounts for two percent, and the remaining two layers are his people, which is still the result of winning over and differentiating means.
Back then, he supported Buddhism to sit big and help Rulai become a Buddha, originally wanted him to lead the Buddhist people to deal with Taoism, so as to sit and reap the benefits of fishermen, but in the end it was fulfilled Rulai, if it wasn't for the Lingshan chaos hundreds of years ago, I am afraid that the strength of Buddhism has surpassed Taoism.
The Jade Emperor is still afraid for a while in retrospect, the three forces, only the Heavenly Court is the weakest, if you want to maintain long-term stability, then the only way to balance the strength of the other two parties, only in this way can you restrain each other, and then your position as the head of the Heavenly Court can be as stable as Mount Tai.
If Buddhism and Taoism are strong and weak, then Heaven will join forces with the weaker side to deal with the stronger side, and only in this way can the balance of power between the three parties be ensured. If this balance is broken, then there is a risk that the Jade Emperor will collapse at any time.
Over the years, the Jade Emperor has been operating in secret, just to balance the forces of the two sides, but the situation is still beyond his control.
Today it was the turn of Master Ge Xuantian to take office, he saw the Jade Emperor's sad face, and stepped forward and said: "Long live, but you are worried about the matter of the Dragon King of Jinghe?" Seeing that the Jade Emperor nodded, he said: "The people of Buddhism have gone too far in this matter, and they have compassion in their mouths, but in fact, there is no half of mercy to talk about, and the word compassion is just for others to hear, fooling those ordinary people." ”
The Jade Emperor sneered: "There are a few people in Buddhism who have compassionate hearts. Not to mention anything else, just say that the old treacherous Rulai, in order to promote the Buddha's power on his territory, almost every country has undergone a change of dynasty, and tens of thousands of people have died in the middle, but as the ruler of the world, he has never been soft!"
Ge Xuan echoed: "If you are very ambitious, you must be careful when cooperating with him." "He and the other three heavenly masters are the confidants of the Jade Emperor, and they know a lot about some things about the Jade Emperor, so they know about this big move of Buddhism, and they are a little worried that the master will fall under the confrontation with Rulai.
The Jade Emperor said: "I naturally know, but the situation is compelling. You go down first, I want to be alone and quiet. As soon as Ge Xuan left, the Jade Emperor walked back and forth in the garden with his hands behind his back, beating his arms from time to time, and after a long time, he stopped, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to have made a major decision in his heart.
