Chapter 57: The So-Called Immortals
Chapter 57 The so-called immortals
Ye Wen never thought that the dignified Heavenly Court God General would still have family problems?
But after thinking about it, this seems to be normal, most of the people in this heavenly court are monks, and they have been busy cultivating all their lives, even if they don't cultivate, they are now busy dealing with work all day long, and they don't understand the affairs of men and women at all, and it seems reasonable that there will be family disputes or something?
looked at Shen Gongbao, Ye Wen didn't know how to talk to him, so he had to say: "If you have the opportunity, talk to Mrs. Zun well......" is considered to be pulled down, after all, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, and he is not an outsider to participate much.
At this time, the two of them had turned to the foot of the mountain, and circled along Shu Mountain, and after a short time, they went around from the front to the back, and the huge lake appeared in front of the two, Shen Gongbao looked at the lake water that could be seen clearly, and said to Ye Wen with a smile: "This mountain of your faction is really a blessed land, this water is not only slightly cool, but also contains the vitality of heaven and earth in it, and your faction uses such water all day long, which is also beneficial to everyone."
Ye Wen smiled and didn't speak, he naturally knew what was going on with this water, and he still retained a lot of vitality after being able to flow from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, among which the credit of Kyushu Ding could not be ignored, but this was the biggest secret of the Shushan faction, and it must not be said to others, so he had to smile and said: "This faction was established in this mountain, and the patriarch of this faction chose to settle down here to open a faction, in fact, he didn't think about it so much, but he just felt that the environment was quiet and relatively close!"
Shen Gongbao soaked in the lake water with his hands, feeling the coolness of the lake water and the aura in the water: "This is also the fate of your faction, if it is not for the people of great luck, even if you stand on this mountain, you can't see the goodness of this mountain, and finally miss such a good fate!"
As he spoke, he chased after him again: "It makes me quite curious, what a far-sighted person your patriarch is...... The person who can create your faction must be a rare handsome man in the world!"
"What a character, just a down-and-out gangster!"
Ye Wen, who knew the truth, just laughed at the end of the day, and he didn't know how to answer this question, so he couldn't tell him: "This faction is just something casually made up by a down-and-out guy!" And this Shushan was not originally monopolized by the Shushan faction, but was snatched from many 'neighbors' after he became the head of Shushan.
"By the way, I don't know what Mount Olympus and the Buddha Realm are like?"
Ye Wen suddenly remembered that his Shushan faction was likely to be an enemy of the Olympus God Clan or the Buddha Realm, and the Heavenly Court also deliberately leaked some information to make some preparations, maybe he could inquire first?
The West Heaven Buddha Realm does not need to ask too much, the general situation is similar to the legendary Buddha Realm, and now the Buddha who sits in the West Heaven Buddha Realm is the Buddha of Rulai, although there are still many Buddhas with the general status of Rulai, but those are indifferent, and they are almost nowhere to be seen on weekdays.
Therefore, the current Western Heaven Buddha Realm is dominated by the Buddha, and a large number of Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Venerables, etc., are the main components of the West Heaven Buddha Realm.
The situation of those people does not need Ye Wen to bother, what needs to be considered at present is this large number of Venerables, Arhats and Bodhisattvas who are the main combat forces of the Buddha Realm, it is said that the strongest combat power among them is the Five Great Ming Kings, the Peacock Ming King and the Fighting Buddha, which can be regarded as the main generals of the Buddha Realm.
The soldiers of the Buddha realm are monks, and the more troublesome thing in the Buddha realm is that almost all the ordinary people under their control believe in Buddhism, and most of them can participate in the war as apologetic monks. Fortunately, these weak civilian monks could not exert a drastic influence on the occupation, as long as they were careful not to infiltrate the Heavenly Realm to spread their teachings.
Compared with the situation of Buddhism, he didn't know much about Olympus, only knew that the god king of the Olympian god clan was Zeus, and his two elder brothers were the sea emperor Poseidon and Hades, the king of Hades, which was generally similar to the composition in Greek mythology, and many gods on Mount Olympus were also some familiar names.
For example, Apollo, the god of the sun, Artemis, the goddess of the moon and hunting, Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, and Ares, the god of war, etc......
However, Ares has been removed from the position of God of War, and the God of War is the vanguard general of the Olympus Protoss's war against the outside world, and Ye Wen does not know who will be used as the God of War in the next attack of Mount Olympus.
"Could it be Athena?"
And the reason why he pays attention to Mount Olympus is somewhat related to this goddess, and he is curious if Mount Olympus in the fairy world has a group of warriors called Saint Seiya.
"Saint Seiya?" Shen Gongbao's head was foggy: "What is that?"
Just looking at this reaction, Ye Wen knew that there was indeed no warrior like Saint Seiya in Olympus, and if there were, maybe he would run to Olympus out of curiosity to take a look.
"Nothing!" Since there is no such fighter, what is the army of the Olympian Protoss made of?
"The army specially selected from among the people under its command, led by a group of demigods as the commander, although not very numerous, is stronger than our heavenly soldiers, and it is extremely difficult to deal with. ”
"Some of the monsters they found in the so-called underworld and the sea realm, and a lot of strange half-human, half-monster guys - I don't know if it's a demon cultivator! This is the army of Olympus, and it's very ......."
Shen Gongbao's understanding of Mount Olympus surprised Ye Wen, and when he asked, he realized that Shen Gongbao, as a general of the water, had led the Heavenly Court Naval Army to meet the troops of the Olympian Protoss from the sea, but the battle was in the dark, and Shen Gongbao met the army led by Sea Emperor Poseidon.
Those soldiers are basically all kinds of monsters in the sea, these monsters themselves have extremely strong destructive power, plus a lot of strange abilities, so that the Heavenly Court Water Army has suffered huge losses, thanks to Shen Gong Leopard still has a few means, and Wen Zhong led the Thunder Gods to come to the rescue, so that he could repel the Water Army of Mount Olympus.
However, in that battle, Mount Olympus only lost a lot of monsters that were just pets to them, and the Heavenly Water Army was almost wiped out, and it has not recovered until now.
"Just because of that battle, I'm no different from an idler now!"
Although Shen Gongbao also wanted to restore the Heavenly Court's naval army, the replenishment of the Heavenly Court's army was getting slower and slower, and they all gave priority to supplying those more important generals.
"How are the soldiers and horses of Heavenly Court replenished?"
"The more outstanding people in the Netherworld, or the reincarnation of the souls who died on the battlefield!" Shen Gongbao sighed helplessly: "There is almost no war in the Nether under the notice of Heavenly Court, and the price of the people living and working in peace and contentment is that it is difficult for Heavenly Court's heavenly soldiers to replenish!"
It's just that the Jade Emperor doesn't approve of using this method, although Heavenly Court will not directly intervene in the situation in the world, but all the people who become priests are not the kind of character who disregard the lives of others, if there is a war in the world, maybe this group of immortals will immediately appear to calm down the war.
What's more, many Immortal Dao sects also live in the human world, and once they intervene, they can't fight any war, unless these sects fight first.
Therefore, the source of soldiers in the Heavenly Court can only rely on finding some outstanding people to absorb into the Heavenly Court, or some monks feel that they have no hope of improving their cultivation, so they simply go to the Heavenly Court to find an errand, maybe if they mix well, they will have a chance to be on the list of gods and receive the position of god generals-in that way, they can also have an almost endless lifespan.
"I see!"
In fact, in Ye Wen's opinion, this situation is not unsolvable, one of the ways is to increase some contacts with various sects and factions, or simply ask them to send disciples to take turns to serve in the Heavenly Court Army.
Either take the route of elite soldiers, and try to improve the strength of each heavenly soldier, if you can let any heavenly soldier have the strength of one to ten, then even if there are not so many soldiers in the event of war, there will be no problem.
The last way is to open up the source of troops -- Ye Wen thinks that the earth is a good choice, why doesn't the heavenly realm open the source of troops to the earth? Since the gods will be able to find the source of troops from the earth, the same can be the source of troops!
"This ...... In fact, the Jade Emperor has also considered this problem, and even if it continues like this, Heavenly Court will really put this matter into action!" Speaking of this, Shen Gongbao looked around and secretly said to Ye Wen: "In fact, not only the earth, but also the Jade Emperor is ready to contact the various immortal sects, asking them to contribute the world controlled by their own sects as the world of soldiers!"
Ye Wen was stunned for a while, and he didn't wake up for a while, what Shen Gongbao meant!
Seeing Ye Wen's expression, Shen Gongbao was not surprised, and continued to say his words as if he hadn't seen it: "Actually, in this immortal realm, there are also some monks from places outside the earth! In addition, some big immortal sects even put a certain world under their own control, if someone can fly from that world to the immortal realm, they will be included in their own door as soon as possible!"
Ye Wen's first reaction when he heard this was that the matter of Jiuzhou Ding had been exposed, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was not the case, Shen Gongbao's words seemed to be telling him that something similar to what he was doing, in fact, many sects were doing it.
Take a world into your own hands, observe the changes in this world, if there is an outstanding person who leaves this world and comes to the fairy world, then you can receive this person into the door as soon as possible to improve your own strength. It's just that these sects are different from the Shushan sect in that the Kyushu world is a world evolved from the Kyushu Ding, and the entire world is under Ye Wen's control, and even when necessary, Ye Wen can directly use a thought to kill a person who he doesn't want to successfully shatter the void on the spot.
You can also rely on one of your own ideas to make the entire Kyushu world revolve around a 'protagonist' and directly cultivate a strong person.
And the world of those sects is just a world that operates on its own, and they are mere spectators, powerless to interfere with the fate of that world and that monk.
From this point of view, the Shushan faction still has an advantage! However, this news still surprised Ye Wen, it turned out that the various sects and factions in the immortal realm still had such a channel to absorb the sects.
"What about the earth, and under whose control?"
Shen Gongbao smiled: "The gods of the Heavenly Court are basically from the earth, and they pay all kinds of attention to the nature of the earth, which faction is so bold and dares to grab things in the hands of the heavenly court?"
This sentence made Ye Wen know why his Shushan faction was valued by Yang Jian, and the reason why his Shushan faction and the gods of Heavenly Court were one family was absolutely indispensable.
In addition, Ye Wen also thought that when today's court came from the earth, then didn't other worlds come to this immortal realm?
Shen Gongbao replied very simply: "Naturally, there is, in fact, there will be a battle of the gods back then, just to unify the monks on the earth, and finally come to the fairy world to compete with the gods of other worlds, and after the last battle, he won the dominance of this Eastern Immortal Continent!"
I didn't expect the war of the gods to have such an inside story.,It turns out that the root cause is an internal purge war launched for the sake of unification and resources.,Kill those who don't obey discipline directly.,Control it with the god list.,Or some useful talents but the cultivation is too low.,Also use the god list to include them as subordinates.,Finally, he led a large number of people to the fairy world to grab territory.。
After the last battle, the gods of the Heavenly Court defeated the other gods and occupied this Eastern Immortal Continent - it is estimated that this name was also a later name.
"So aren't there any gods from other worlds left?"
"Of course there are!" Shen Gongbao pointed to the west: "There are a few over there, ......"
Ye Wen was dumbfounded, he thought of countless possibilities, but he didn't expect that there was such a connection, because he was from the earth, and there were legends of those gods on the earth, and he thought that these gods were also native gods on the earth from the beginning.
"In fact, at that time, several forces were in a mess, not only did the earth have their descendants, but also the inheritance of our Eastern Immortal Dao in the world they originally lived in!"
"And some of the teachings and related myths you hear on Earth are also the products of their fusion of some local legends on Earth, which may be very different from what was circulated in their original world, but they are more suitable for the situation on Earth!"
"Could it be that white people, black people and other people are not earthlings in the first place?" It was difficult for Ye Wen not to turn his thoughts in this direction, but Shen Gongbao clearly told him: "Those are earthlings, there will be differences between whites and blacks, etc., and the differences are also caused by the environment and living habits and long-term evolution, in fact, they are all people!"
"As for the sect inheritances on Earth, it is only because these gods have chosen the part of people closest to them to spread it!"
Ye Wen felt a little dizzy in his head, he had heard too much inside information today, and he couldn't digest it for a while.
To sort it out simply, the War of the Gods was originally a very internal peace war between the monks on the earth, and after the end of it, the Heavenly Court forces were formed.
And the forces of the Heavenly Court competed with several other forces, the war even crossed several planes, and the earth was not spared from becoming a battlefield, and many forces also worked hard to promote their own teachings to the earthlings close to them, resulting in many legendary sects circulating on the earth - among them, there were also forces that left people to promote their own sects on the earth, Ye Wen guessed that its purpose was to eliminate the roots of the Eastern Heavenly Court.
After finally figuring out a clue, Shen Gongbao dropped an even bigger bomb: "Actually, the earth is just a world where our monks lived, and we also lived in other worlds before that!"
"And what is the world you originally lived in called?"
"No name......" Shen Gongbao shook his head: "That world is very vast, and the heaven and earth are extremely abundant, so they can brew all kinds of powerful lifeforms! Then we arrived on the earth, and after staying for an unknown amount of time, His Majesty the Jade Emperor found the current immortal realm, but the trouble is that we need to compete with various forces for the ownership of the immortal realm first!"
It turns out that the earth is just a temporary foothold before the gods of the heavenly court take over the territory of the immortal realm, if it is difficult to hear, it is the battlefield that this group of monks has chosen a long time ago, and it is only because their original hometown has been destroyed, so the gods of the heavenly court have a good impression of the earth where they have stayed - not to mention that many people have indeed passed down their own Taoist system on the earth and regarded it as their hometown.
Knowing the true origin of the various immortals, Ye Wen felt that his original cognition had been subverted, and even he found that many of the things he had heard on the earth were wrong! For example, when the immortals left the earth, it was not because the earth's heaven and earth aura had decreased, but because people were not ready to live for a long time in the first place.
It is estimated that the so-called legend of ascension was also deliberately left by Heavenly Court, probably to ensure that the monks of the earth became a member of Heavenly Court after going to the Immortal Realm, helping them enhance their strength in the Immortal Realm.
After thinking about it, Ye Wen continued to chat with Shen Gongbao about the worlds that were mastered by various factions, and knew that the world that still exists today is not so simple, and there are many sects in Dongfang Xianzhou that are not formed by monks from the earth, and these sects are all staring at the world they once lived in, just like the heavenly court is focusing on the earth.
"However, in the past thousands of years, there have been fewer and fewer people who can ascend to the immortal realm, no matter which world it is!" Shen Gongbao sighed with emotion: "So these worlds are gradually becoming less and less valued now! Fortunately, the cycle of life and death in these worlds is operating normally, and His Majesty is now considering linking those cycles of life and death to the Heavenly Court Army, so that the soldiers who died in those worlds because of the war can become Heavenly Soldiers." ”
In addition to telling Ye Wen that Heavenly Court is indeed going to make a big move, this news is not of much help to the Shushan faction itself, and today's conversation made Ye Wen understand that the so-called immortals are actually like that!
