"Why did you say you were just trying to save me?"
In a cave on the seabed, the water was very calm. Ding Zheng stood opposite a dragon-headed man wearing a robe with no logo or pattern.
Hearing Ding Zheng's question, the dragon-headed man shook his head, looking embarrassed, but finally said: "This riot in the Heavenly Palace was planned by one of the Three Pure Ones, Taishang Laojun!"
Sure enough!
Ding Zheng nodded secretly, that was what he had guessed, but the dragon in front of him finally confirmed his guess.
"How did you know?" Ding Zheng continued to ask, and then added, "Tai Shang Laojun... why did he plan such a drama to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace?"
The old dragon hesitated for a while, and then finally said: "I think my benefactor must be an upright person, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to obtain the Dragon Armor Technique and other things from the dragons in my clan. The old dragon said, please be kind to me."
Please don’t let others know about it at this time!”
Lao Long emphasized again.
Ding Zheng also nodded again, and in order to reassure the other party, he even swore: "I swear that I will never reveal a single word of what happened in this cave or what you said!"
The old dragon nodded, and then said: "Actually, the gods had doubts about this matter before, but now, it has been basically confirmed."
"Let us determine the cause of this matter. Naturally, it is the theft of Taishang Laojun's elixir."
"The Hericium was absolutely no match for the True Lord Erlang Xiansheng. Even if he ate the flat peach, his strength would not be greatly increased. But at this time, he was able to tie with the True Lord Erlang Xiansheng. It was almost obvious that the Hericium
It was Taishang Laojun who secretly supported him, and your Majesty must also know this, but because Taishang Laojun is one of the Three Pure Ones, and is still above Your Majesty in terms of qualifications and status, His Majesty did not rush to say anything."
"But because of this, almost all the gods did not dare to take action against the monkey, because they did not know what Lao Jun had in mind and were afraid of offending Lao Jun."
Lao Long paused, then frowned: "As for why Lao Jun wanted to support such a monkey..."
After saying this, Lao Long stopped again. Ding Zheng and others looked depressed and couldn't help asking: "Why?"
Old Long glanced at Ding Zheng again and said seriously: "Old Long is just guessing about this matter!"
"It's okay to guess. You said yours. Since it's a guess, at worst I'll just pretend I didn't listen." Ding Zheng said nonchalantly.
The old dragon sighed and was silent for a long time before gritting his teeth and speaking out: "I guess the Supreme Lord couldn't bear to see what the Jade Emperor and the gods were doing, so he came up with this trick to rely on this
Hericium, let your majesty and the immortals... restrain themselves!"
"What happened to the Jade Emperor and the gods?" Ding Zheng couldn't help but widen his eyes. Although he looked confused, he still thought of the time he ate peaches in the peach garden.
What Sun Wukong said.
When Lao Long heard Ding Zheng's question, he was stunned and glanced at Ding Zheng with wide eyes: "My dear friend, don't you know?"
"I don't know." Ding Zheng answered honestly. After all, its character is a monster that practiced in the mountains for who knows how many years before coming out of the mountains. If it didn't work, it could still introduce itself to the old dragon in front of it.
Fortunately, Lao Long didn't mean this.
He just felt a little confused. After all, most monsters with cultivation levels of Ding Zheng's level were able to access some hidden things.
However, this is not entirely certain.
So he began to explain to Ding Zheng.
"Does your benefactor know that Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Earth Immortal?"
"Of course I know that."
"Then I'm afraid my benefactor also knows about the ginseng fruit of the Earth Immortal Ancestor?"
"heard about it."
"Well, ginseng fruit can make those who eat it immortal, and flat peaches can also make people immortal. Since we have flat peaches, why do we need ginseng fruit? Now that we have ginseng fruit, why do we need flat peaches? Not every flat peach conference will have that
People like Monkey Sun are here to disrupt the situation."
"In addition, the monsters cannot eat ginseng fruits and peaches, so why can the monsters live for thousands of years?"
"Sold the life and death book?" Ding Zheng replied quickly.
"No, no, no..." Old Long shook his head: "The underworld is just like the heaven, it was built the day after tomorrow, and the ten palaces of Yama were born the day after tomorrow. When the underworld was not established? Will all living things not die?"
"Then why?" Ding Zheng was really interested: "Is it because powerful monsters have methods of cultivation?"
Old Long still shook his head: "The method of cultivation also cannot lead to immortality."
Ding Zheng listened quietly while Lao Long spoke slowly, explaining some unknown secrets to Ding Zheng.
It turns out that like Sun Wukong, he can hook away the life-and-death book by himself.
Actually it's not that surprising.
On the contrary, it is very normal.
Famous monsters such as the Bull Demon King are actually not under the control of the underworld, even if they have names on the life and death books, it is useless.
If the life and death book is really that powerful, the Heavenly Court will still need to send troops to attack monsters. If all the disobedient monsters just scratch their names on the life and death book, won’t the monsters die?
Therefore, the underworld itself also knows that they cannot control living beings like those who have successfully cultivated!
However, Sun Wukong has been in the Bodhi Gate all the time. Even after leaving the Xianyue Sanxing Cave, he went directly back to Huaguo Mountain and punished a few monsters in the form of play.
He has never shown his strength at all, and has no reputation at all in the world.
The underworld has never placed anything like a "camera" in the human world.
Naturally, I didn’t know that a character like Sun Wukong suddenly appeared in the world. I thought it was just an ordinary monkey monster. How could I not capture you when it’s my birthday?
Then it led to this oolong.
However, on the surface, at least in the eyes of all mortals, the underworld controls the life and death of all things.
Naturally, they are unwilling to admit openly that there are things they cannot control, and they cannot let Sun Wukong know about this matter. Otherwise, Sun Wukong will be embarrassed if he spreads it.
That's why the truth was not explained.
Unexpectedly, Sun Wukong also had a bad temper, so he immediately took advantage of the life and death book.
Let the underworld be embarrassed again.
This made the Yamas very angry, so they sued the Heavenly Court.
Of course, if life and death are useless and the underworld doesn't care.
Does that mean you can live forever?
Of course not.
Otherwise, what kind of peaches and ginseng fruits are needed, and what kind of cultivation is needed?
Wouldn't it be enough to just lift the underworld?
In fact, like monsters and cultivators who are successful in cultivation, their life span will naturally be extended and will also be lost.
It all depends on themselves.
But just by practicing cultivation, you still can't live forever.
Otherwise, those strong men will not die.
Likewise, there is no need for flat peach or ginseng fruit.
so.
Although cultivation can prolong life, it is limited after all.
No matter how high your cultivation level is, it is impossible to live forever.
Moreover, it is more difficult to break through the realm than to live forever.
After all, not every god is a master with extremely high cultivation level.
Therefore, in order to maintain the stability of heaven, ginseng fruit and flat peach came into being.
In ordinary people's perception, these two fairy fruits can lead to immortality, but in fact, only ginseng fruit has this effect.
And flat peach is used to eliminate the sequelae of eating ginseng fruit!
As for the sequelae of this ginseng fruit, let’s talk about monsters again.
Monsters cannot eat ginseng fruits and peaches, so how do they maintain their lifespan?
Very simple.
eat human!
Eat a lot of people!
Demon saints like the Bull Demon King and others have lost countless lives to them.
In these three realms, apart from practicing cultivation, if you want to extend your life, there is only one way, and that is to eat people!
The same goes for ginseng fruit!
However, compared to the way monsters eat people directly, the method of ginseng fruit is naturally gentler and more in line with the image of the gods.
When talking about this, Lao Long also made an important point, otherwise why would the ginseng fruit look like a three-year-old baby?
Because that’s what people are!
It is human spirit, human blood, and human flesh.
Moreover, it is the purest flesh and blood aura of a baby!
Although the ginseng fruit tree is not big.
But under the roots of the tree, there were countless dead bones of babies buried.
It was precisely because Zhen Yuanzi developed a method of cultivating ginseng fruit that the gods could eat humans more calmly, and the effect was even better.
That's why he is highly respected and is called the ancestor of the earthly immortals. Even the gods in heaven and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the West will respect him a bit when they meet him.
When Lao Long explained this.
Ding Zheng has completely understood the whole thing.
It has long known that eating people will contaminate life with filth, and monsters will not become immortals because of this.
That's why the Bull Demon King wants to get the flat peach so much.
Because the effect of flat peach is to clear away the stench that is born after eating people!
Heaven holds a peach conference every March 3rd, just to help the gods and cleanse themselves of the filth.
"The gods in the sky all came from cultivation or accumulated great merits before they could become immortals. After they became immortals, they should have continued to accumulate merits, benefit the three realms, and do things for mortals. But today, everything is difficult. Mountains
There are monsters in the mountains, some places are suffering from drought, and some places are flooded, but the gods are at ease. Even the rain needs to be done by us dragons."
"Why?"
"It's just that when they become gods, they realize that mortals are no different from domestic animals, except for food."
"As long as you don't die, as long as you can continue to live, as long as it doesn't reach a certain level, they don't need to pay attention at all!"
When Lao Long said this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
Obviously, he himself was also the target of his insults.
Just like people will occasionally reflect on themselves, but when long-term interests and desires that can be easily satisfied are in front of them.
How many people can keep their hearts unchanged?
When Ding Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but clicked his tongue and thought: "Aren't these the unscrupulous capitalists? They eat meat and drink blood, and they still want to be praised by the people below..."
After helping Ding Zheng figure out these things, Lao Long began to explain the reason why Taishang Laojun supported Sun Wukong.
Originally, when there were no ginseng fruits, eating people was not allowed in heaven.
Therefore, the positions of the gods will also be replaced.
At that time, the only thing in heaven that could bring immortality was Taishang Laojun's elixir.
It is precisely because of this elixir that Taishang Laojun has the highest status and the most respect in the entire heaven.
All the gods depend on him.
Because Taishang Laojun's elixirs are too rare.
All the gods want it.
But now, as soon as the ginseng fruit appears, Taishang Laojun's elixir has no effect at all.
The gods have gained immortality, and it is so easy to obtain it.
Why do we need other elixirs?
As long as heaven is stable, what's the use of their immortal bodies? What's the use of healing their wounds? What's the use of elixirs to prevent them from going crazy?
The gods don't even need to practice.
Just make sure you flatter Zhen Yuanzi and the Jade Emperor!
This kind of life is what the gods want!
And Taishang Laojun naturally does not want such a life.
Whether it's because of his own status or because he doesn't want to see mortals suffer such damage.
In short.
He supported Sun Wukong.
Although the gods did not want their lives to be affected, they did not dare to openly offend the Supreme Being.
otherwise.
What will greet them may be the revenge of the Supreme Being.
As one of the strongest Sanqing, Taishang's methods are too strong, too many, and too complicated.
So there was such a funny scene.
A Sun Wukong appeared among the monsters.
Go directly to the Heavenly Palace, and all the gods will be no match.
Is that really the case?
Of course this is not the case.
Although Sun Wukong is strong, there is no way he can overthrow the heaven with just his demon power, but the gods dare not do anything because of the Supreme Being.
It turns out that the havoc in Heaven is just a farce.
And what caused this farce.
But no one dared to offend.
Therefore, even the Jade Emperor could only sit back and watch this farce happen.
At this moment, Lao Long's expression suddenly changed: "My benefactor, please wait for a while. If there is something going on in the sea, Lao Long will come back as soon as possible. My benefactor can rest here to recuperate without being discovered."
After saying that, the old dragon left directly.
Ding Zheng didn't stop it, even though it was already healed.
But when it heard these things, it found that it still needed to think carefully about how to complete this task!
After a long time, Lao Long hurriedly returned and said to Ding Zheng: "My benefactor can hide here for a few days. Those demon saints are looking for traces of my benefactor. After they leave, I will come and inform my benefactor."
Ding Zheng nodded and added: "If you have free time, please tell me about the current situation. I want to know how Sun Wukong is doing."
The old dragon said: "The monkey head has been taken away by Lao Jun. He said that he would lock it in his alchemy furnace and grind it, but what will be the result..."
Obviously Laolong doesn't think he can really refine Sun Wukong this time.
Only Ding Zheng knew that not only did Sun Wukong not be refined to death this time, but he was refined even stronger, integrated into one body, and his strength was greatly increased.
I almost called him to the Lingxiao store where the Jade Emperor worked.
However, Ding Zheng would naturally not tell these things.
In such a complex and powerful world, if you reveal that you know the plot, the result may not be good...
