"Holy Monk, His Majesty is waiting for you inside. The immortal will not go in." The immortal official bowed and said in a respectful manner.
"Thank you very much." Xuanzang said.
Then he looked around at the Jade Palace. He thought he was going to the Lingxiao Palace, but he didn't expect to end up here.
The Jade Palace is obviously the realm of the Immortal Mansion where the Jade Emperor lives.
From the outside, it looks like a huge and majestic palace, which cannot be overstated to say that it is breathtaking, constantly emitting golden auspicious light.
When you step into the Jade Palace, you will see a golden avenue with golden bricks under your feet, which is extremely luxurious.
Surrounded by majestic dragon pillars, there are murals of ancient phoenixes and unicorns, and even the oil lamps on the walls are extraordinary magic weapons.
And at the end of the Golden Avenue, the Jade Emperor sits on the throne, majestic.
Of course, no matter how powerful the Jade Emperor's momentum was, it would still be insignificant to Xuanzang.
"I have met the Jade Emperor." Xuanzang said.
"Holy Monk, this should be the first time we meet, right?"
The Jade Emperor's body flashed with golden light, and he teleported to Xuanzang.
Xuanzang's expression was calm and he did not let himself show any flaws.
After all, he had just come out of Yaochi, and he and the Queen Mother had practiced the art of unity between heaven and man.
"It should be so. I wonder why the Jade Emperor wants to see me?" Xuanzang said.
"Of course it's because of the scripture study? Xuanzang, you said you didn't study the scriptures well, so why did you come to heaven?" the Jade Emperor said, seeming to have a hint of blame.
When Xuanzang heard this, it seemed that it was not because of the Queen Mother's affairs, so he said: "Your Majesty, the journey to the west involves high mountains and long roads, and the time is long. In this long life, it is not just about gathering Buddhist scriptures. Pursuing Buddhist scriptures also requires a combination of work and rest.
For example, Wukong was trapped under the Five Elements Mountain for so long. He went to get Buddhist scriptures as soon as he came out. He didn't have time to see his monkey grandson, and he had no freedom.
Isn’t this unreasonable, Jade Emperor?”
"It's indeed unreasonable." The Jade Emperor nodded.
"So, this is the way to learn scriptures. Jade Emperor, you should also give the gods in heaven a holiday and come down to earth to experience it. It is not easy to be a worker these days, so we must have empathy!" Xuanzang said.
When the Jade Emperor heard this, his expression changed.
Now Xuanzang was educating him in turn, so the Jade Emperor said:
"Xuan Zang, are you teaching me how to do things?"
"Guess." Xuanzang said calmly.
"..."
The Jade Emperor glanced at Xuanzang angrily, wondering what the Queen Mother liked about him.
But one thing to say, he is indeed very handsome, just a little bit worse than him.
"Jade Emperor, you called me here just to talk about Buddhist scriptures, right?" Xuanzang continued.
The Jade Emperor paced himself and said:
"Of course not, although I am the Lord of the Three Realms and the Jade Emperor. Come, Xuanzang, have a few drinks with me."
"..." Xuanzang.
This time it was Xuanzang's turn to be silent. Did you dare to go to heaven just to drink?
First I drank with Nezha Yang Jian, then I drank with the Queen Mother, and now I drink with the Jade Emperor. Who is next?
The Jade Emperor waved his hand, and the wine table was filled with fine wine, dragon liver, phoenix gallbladder, spiritual fruits and delicacies.
"Your Majesty, is this dragon liver from a dragon from all over the world?" Xuanzang asked.
The Jade Emperor shook his head and said seriously:
"Of course not. These Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are all my good friends and good Taoist friends. How could I eat their dragon sons and grandsons?
But dragon meat is indeed one of the best in the three realms. Although the gods are said to be pure in heart and have as few desires as possible, these are all hearsay.
I still have some appetites, so I simply built a dragon-transforming pond in the heaven, and any water tribe who enters it can transform into a real dragon.
Of course, the higher the level of cultivation, the more delicious the real dragon incarnated by the water tribe will be."
"I remember that there seems to be a Dragon Transformation Pond in the West, and the Tathagata Buddha's uncle, the Dapeng, eats five hundred dragons every day." Xuanzang said.
"Yes, it's the same truth."
The Jade Emperor smiled and picked up a piece of dragon liver. It melted in your mouth and was delicious.
Xuanzang also picked up a piece of dragon liver and tasted it, and said at the same time: "Being an immortal can lead to immortality. If immortality can also lead to a lack of desire, then the work of an immortal will be meaningless."
"Jade Emperor, you should know about my apprentice Xiao Bailong, right?
I heard him say that when he peeed and let the water tribe get on it, they would turn into dragons.
So what is the composition of your Hualong Pond?"
When the Jade Emperor heard this, his face turned green and red, and he said:
"Xuan Zang, how can you compare Hualong Pond with that pickled filth?"
"Ah...yes, yes, it's the next pattern." Xuanzang said.
The Jade Emperor didn't want to talk about dragons now, so he said:
"Xuan Zang, can you tell me who taught you your magical powers?"
"You are gifted, cheat and deliver." Xuanzang said.
"??" Jade Emperor.
"In short, you understood it yourself?" Xuanzang said.
"Do you think I, the Jade Emperor, am a fool? No master can train me to be so powerful. I haven't taken enough golden elixirs. Is it so easy to break through the Daluo Golden Immortal realm?" said the Jade Emperor.
"It's so easy. I practice and practice and I break through. Oh, I'm so helpless."
Xuanzang said, while taking a sip of the wine, which was silky smooth in the mouth, and it seemed like flying immortals were dancing in front of his eyes.
After hearing what Versailles said, did the Jade Emperor really want to slap Xuanzang to death?
The current world is not like the ancient times. How could it be so easy to break through to Daluo Jinxian.
Yang Jian, the number one disciple of the third generation of Na Chan Cult, has not yet become Daluo Jinxian, which shows how difficult it is.
"Xuan Zang, is your master Lao Jun?" the Jade Emperor asked quietly, in a very low voice.
"...Why don't you say it's the Tathagata? The Jade Emperor?" Xuanzang couldn't help asking.
"Hahaha, even that poor Tathagata can train a great golden immortal in his early twenties." The Jade Emperor smiled.
"Although there are many Daluo Golden Immortals in Lingshan, they are not created by resources at all, but are forged by incense and faith.
Xuanzang, you don’t have any scent of incense and faith in your body, but more of Xuanmen.
In the entire Three Realms, the only one who can use golden elixirs to create the Great Luo Jinxian is Laojun."
The Jade Emperor smiled broadly, as if he had seen through everything.
Xuanzang was stunned for half a second. He didn't expect that Tathagata would be like that in the eyes of the Jade Emperor. Poor?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed true.
In terms of the richness of his family, Tathagata really cannot compare with the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor's Heavenly Court took over the Demon Clan's Demon Court back then, and it has a rich heritage.
The Tathagata's Lingshan Western Sect was the successor to the two saints Zhunti and Yin. Western Sect was originally poor and useless.
Last but not least, in order to become saints, these two saints also borrowed hundreds of millions of merits from Heaven, so Western religion has actually been repaying the debt to Heaven these years.
It is not unreasonable for the Jade Emperor to say that Tathagata is poor.
"Jade Emperor, can't you just ask Laojun yourself?" Xuanzang said, without admitting or denying, and just let the Jade Emperor figure it out.
"What's the use of me asking? Laojun plays riddles with me every day..."
