Chapter 643: Abandon it like worn out shoes; 'It's better to replace it'
Bajie is not a monk without a temper, but he has never had to lose his temper in the past. This kind of thing is usually done by his senior brother.
Today, I originally wanted to politely invite the mountain god, but everyone peacefully understood the origin of the "Snow Demon" and successfully solved this hidden danger in Changbai Mountain. The trip was considered a success.
It's just that Bajie and Shanshen's estimates of both parties were slightly off.
The mountain god thinks Bajie is easy to talk to, and as long as he doesn't show up, he will retreat in spite of difficulties and will not force himself because of this;
But Bajie came here this time to solve the problem... Your mountain god knows that I am here to clean up the problem of snow monsters, but you still hide it and refuse to see me... Then I have reason to suspect that this person is in Changbai Mountain.
There may be some ulterior secret or unknown connection between the raging snow monster and you, the mountain god of Changbai Mountain.
"Little God... pay homage to Zen Master Wu Neng."
Of course, the mountain god knew that the five great immortals in Changbai Mountain called Bajie a divine monk, but maybe it was due to preconceptions. He always felt that the two words Bajie and divine monks were not compatible, so he used the word "Zen Master" to refer to each other.
..
Although his words were tough, his body was still very honest and he bowed to Bajie respectfully.
Bajie did not have any priesthood in him, nor did he have any promotion of Buddhist status... Therefore, when the mountain god bowed to him, Bajie ducked sideways, put the rake behind his back with one hand, and held the mountain god with the other hand.
Help up.
On the way westward, why did Master and Senior Brother dare to be visited by these mountain gods and landmen? It was precisely because their own status in the Three Realms was very high and they could fully afford it.
The master is a Buddhist monk appointed by the Bodhisattva, and a sworn disciple of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. The title of senior brother, the Great Sage Qitian, has always been...
Even if he is Xiao Bailong, he still has the status of the Third Prince of Xihai.
He is just an ordinary domestic pig. He is able to be where he is today because of the karma of Marshal Tianpeng's kind thoughts. Otherwise... how could he have such an opportunity to practice under his master?
In fact, it was the mountain god of Changbai Mountain who couldn't hold back. If he could persist when Bajie raised the rake and pointed it at his mountain god tablet... there was a high probability that Bajie would smash the rake to pieces.
The hand stops before the tablet is placed.
He just wanted to invite the mountain god to come out, ask questions about the matter, and prescribe the right medicine... He was not deliberately targeting the mountain god.
But if Bajie finds out later that the snow demon's matter really has something to do with the mountain god, then he will really be sorry. Even if Binglinggong comes, Bajie will never give him face. He will deal with it how he wants.
deal with.
But these are all hindsight. Now that the mountain god can still be scared out... Bajie believes that the suspicion of collusion with the snow demon has been greatly reduced. But this does not mean that he has no connection with the snow demon.
.
The mountain god didn't dare to bet on whether Bajie was really capable of killing him. If this tablet was really smashed by Bajie, in this uninhabited mountain and old forest, I'm afraid he would really have no room for improvement.
It is even possible to change from a mountain god enshrined in heaven to a wild mountain god, and finally disappear silently between heaven and earth.
Although the mountain god was a little reluctant to appear this time, he did not regret it...after all, he could only take some risks and come to see this Zen Master Wu Neng instead of having his magic tablet smashed.
Bajie was being polite, but what he said was not pleasant to hear, "What a mountain god from Changbai Mountain, pretending to be deaf and mute like this... No wonder the spirits and monsters are rampant in Changbai Mountain... It's all because of you, the mountain god's corpse.
Look at the good things you did."
Bajie snatched away the opponent, causing the mountain god to half-bend in place. The strength that was still faintly resisting Bajie's arm suddenly disappeared, and his body was straightened by Bajie.
Regarding Zen Master Wu Neng’s accusation, the mountain god only wanted to say two words: It’s unfair!
Others may not know what the situation of the mountain gods in the Three Realms is like...but when you, the master and the disciples, went to the West to learn scriptures, did you see them so little?
Now he uses such words to suppress himself... He was originally reluctant to take up the post in Changbai Mountain, but now after hearing Bajie's hurtful words, he was instantly filled with grievances.
But if he was really asked to defend himself, he really had no way to say it.
Because... these things seem to be manifestations of his inaction.
Of course Bajie knows what happened in Changbai Mountain. In fact, it is no wonder that the mountain gods... There are only a few mountain gods in the three realms who can really talk the talk.
In addition to Liu Boqin of Shuangcha Ridge, there is another mountain god whose words are extremely weighty, and that is the mountain god of Kunlun Mountain—Lu Wu.
But in fact, compared to the mountain gods who serve on the demonic mountains in Xizhou, the mountain gods of Changbai Mountain are already pretty good.
Bajie obviously deliberately used these words to suppress him. He knew some things well, so everyone just abided by the unspoken rules silently and wouldn't say it openly... But once it was revealed, the interest in the matter would not be the same.
Same.
Bajie's thinking is still different. After all, he has followed his master for a long time. Under the influence of his master, Bajie also has a certain sense of pioneering. It is not a good thing to blindly stick to the old rules.
If you can innovate appropriately, you may find that breaking the deadlock is actually not that difficult.
What is really difficult is actually the first step to break the deadlock. Once this step is taken, everything else will fall into place.
Reform needs to be done step by step, and as for the mountain gods, it is obviously not something that Bajie can intervene at will. Lord Bingling himself doesn't care... and others also have a lot to say.
Perhaps if the mountain gods want to change the status quo, apart from hoping that the God of Justice or the Jade Emperor will pay attention to them, the only way left is to strive for self-improvement.
But the problem is that the current group of mountain gods in the Three Realms have actually long been solidified in their thinking. If you want them to make changes... it is better to simply replace these old guys and recruit a group of young people to work.
, it is more likely that there will be new changes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Three Realms are developing.
And it is not limited to one clan or sect, but the entire three realms must improve their own strength under the pressure of the rise of the human race. If the mountain gods cannot seize this opportunity, they will still use their previous attitude and hang around in their posts.
I'm afraid it will be eliminated sooner or later.
Just like batches of Xuanjia troops suppressing bandits and eliminating demons, the incense of the mountain gods who had a low presence in the Tang Dynasty became increasingly endangered.
But can you blame the people for not offering incense to them?
Things they can solve, the Xuanjia Army can also solve; things they can't solve, the Xuanjia Army can also solve... For ordinary people, the Xuanjia Army is their patron saint.
Especially given the nature of the people of the Tang Dynasty... they would abandon the useless god like worn out shoes without any reluctance or nostalgia.
This is not only reflected in these gods.
Li Shimin once said that if one day the court cannot protect its people who treat it well, or even commits violence against its people, then this court will definitely be abandoned by its people.
Therefore, even though Li Shimin is now considered an accomplished monk and is truly considered a figure in the entire Three Realms, he always gives priority to his own people before making various policies.
Putting the people first is Li Shimin’s philosophy of governing the country.
In fact, if the mountain gods could imitate its essence, they might not be able to ride on the rise of the human race.
Today's human destiny, especially the human destiny within the Tang Dynasty, is no less generous than the merits of heaven for the advancement of the gods.
And compared to the merits of heaven, it is obviously easier to obtain human luck.
It's just that the Tang Dynasty today is no longer what it used to be... It's not that easy for the gods to enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin, the Great Emperor of Zhenguan, Tripitaka Saint Buddha, leader of the Weishi Cult, Xue Rengui, the God of War of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xuance, the Imperial Envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng...even Zeng Zi and Yun Zhongzi were all insurmountable barriers for them.
Even the Jade Emperor, who is above the Nine Heavens, sometimes envies the real combat power of the Tang Dynasty in the mortal world... and wishes he could recruit them all to heaven.
If we say that a few years ago, the Jade Emperor still had some entanglements. He would worry about whether after his reincarnation, when Patriarch Kuigang invaded the human world from the demon world, whether the human world could resist the invasion of demons from the demon world...
But now... The Jade Emperor said: Kui Gang, even if you come, you must not hold back... Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will waste the three hundred years of darkness and torture in the demon world.
This shows that the Jade Emperor recognized the power of the human race.
Unless the gods in the sky are reincarnated and come down to earth, it will be difficult for them to reap this wave of dividends... But reincarnating and coming down to earth to become a human race also involves a lot of risks... After all, there are already many precedents in front of them. After they become a human race,
Even if you are successful in practice, you will actively choose to give up your identity in the previous life and walk in the three realms again as a human being.
Even if Manjushri Bodhisattva reincarnates in the human world again and again, it is only after he dies and returns to the underworld that he can recover the memories that were banned by him... And each reincarnation will cause some changes in his temperament.
Some are positive, and naturally there are negative ones... Some changes are more obvious, but in some aspects, they will also make him more determined and "stubborn".
This all varies depending on the "god". Maybe the higher the god's status, the higher the god's status, the more he values his own identity.
Just like the three previous reincarnations of Lu Dongbin, Li Bai and Lan Caihe, even if their cultivation has not reached the level of their previous lives, they are already considered to be the top masters among the younger generation... With such cultivation
, in fact, they want to restore the memory of their previous life, it is just a matter of thought, but they all have a tacit understanding to maintain the purity of themselves as human beings, and nip this idea in the bud.
It can even be said that even if the three of them do not choose to restore the memories of their previous lives, based on the strength of their current souls, the gods belonging to Emperor Donghua, Taibai Jinxing and the Barefoot Immortal are already in an awakened state.
.
As long as the gods of these three immortals choose to revive their souls to replace Lu Dongbin, Li Bai and Lan Caihe, it will not be difficult at all.
Even if the three of them could compete with one or two with their cultivation, I'm afraid it would only cause some not too troublesome obstacles to the divinity of the three gods.
Reincarnation requires caution. Now the trend of reincarnation and descending to earth seems to have passed in heaven. Some gods who have already been ranked in the True Lord Temple applied to Erlang True Lord on the grounds that they suddenly remembered that they still have jobs.
Give up your quota for the next reincarnation.
In this regard, Erlang Zhenjun naturally has no objection. If someone is willing to shine in his position, as long as the other person's ability is within the scope of his responsibilities, then as Erlang Zhenjun, he can only express his support.
It is even more difficult for the gods in the sky to obtain some humane merits...but like the mountain gods and land gods, and even water gods such as the Dragon King and Water God, in fact, when it comes to obtaining humane luck, they must not be afraid of simplicity.
But in the eyes of the gods in heaven who have not yet been reincarnated, their behavior is undoubtedly a waste of natural resources and is simply unreasonable.
They have already put the rice into their mouths, and they don’t know how to chew it... It’s no wonder that the gods in the sky occasionally have the thought of “it’s better to replace it” in their minds.
It has always been the little gods and fairies below who want to climb up... The gods in the sky want to go to the mortal world to become a mountain god... If this kind of thing happened in the past, there would be no one at all.
Believe it.
But in recent days, there seems to be some signs in heaven.
Even Nezha went to the Temple of the True Lord to ask his second brother to verify the authenticity... Nezha was not alone. Anyone who had a good relationship with Yang Jian back then basically didn't run away...
After receiving a positive reply, those gods in the sky who originally wanted to give up their quota for reincarnation decided to keep the serial numbers they had assigned before queuing up.
In fact, among the mountain gods, there are some who are quick-thinking.
Just like the mountain god of Zhongnan Mountain, even where the Dao Alliance General Altar is located, he can still manage the earth's veins and control the wild beasts and birds in the mountain.
It will even provide certain opportunities and help to the human race who stray into the depths of Zhongnan Mountain from time to time.
You must know that Zhongnan Mountain is not a small mountain. There are countless Taoist masters who live in seclusion or practice in Zhongnan Mountain... Of course, whether it is comparing fame or cultivation... Yun Zhongzi must be the first
.
In addition to the first two items, the reason why everyone is willing to recognize Yun Zhongzi's status as the leader of the Tang Tao Alliance is actually based on Yun Zhongzi's good fortune of being unique in the three realms.
If Yun Zhongzi comes to serve as the leader of the Zhongnan Mountain Taoist League, then there is really no need to worry about the Taoist League's fate.
It’s just that the situation of Zhongnan Mountain is an exception after all. Because of its particularity, the experience of the mountain god of Zhongnan Mountain cannot be generalized...it must be analyzed in detail on the specific situation.
The mountain god of Changbai Mountain is also unlucky. His temple has been abandoned for more than a day or two, and no one has worshiped or offered incense for hundreds of years. Even if one wants to learn the "advanced experience" of the mountain god of Zhongnan Mountain, there is nowhere to practice it.
