Chapter 1814 peace talks between Taoism and Buddhism
The Queen Mother took the seat, accompanied by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, and entertained Zhou Yanyu. This level of high standard is something that few gods can enjoy.
On the table are fine fairy wines and various fairy fruits, all corresponding to the first-grade grades.
It can be said that a fruit is what mortals have been waiting for for thousands of years.
But Zhou Yanyu didn't feel favored. He ate and drank when he should, talked and smiled when he should, behaved politely, and was not coquettish at all.
This kind of honor and favor made the Nine Heavens Xuannv and the Queen Mother even more fond of her.
This is what a person who practices Taoism should do, not pretending to be something external.
Making some calculations, considering that she had no apprentice, both of them were a little tempted.
Jiutian Xuannv was the first to make it clear, "Zhou Yanyu, I want to accept you as my disciple, what do you think?"
Zhou Yanyu stood up and saluted, "Thank you very much, Empress Xuannv, for your love. However, I already have the opportunity and I don't need to become a disciple anymore. If I become a disciple, I will fall into the inferior position and people will criticize me for following her."
Jiutian Xuannv was not angry either, "That's all, I really have no chance with you, but you are a witch, so don't make a mistake in this opportunity."
Zhou Yanyu chuckled and held up her hands, "Thank you for your advice, I'll save it. I know that I am the witch of water, so I want to become one of the nine gods, the water god who controls the water aura between heaven and earth."
"Ha, what a great ambition, let's have a drink"
The Queen Mother shook her head and laughed, "You want to be on equal footing with us."
Zhou Yanyu was not afraid, "Hey, when it comes to practice, the goal must be lofty."
Jiutian Xuannv was also happy, "Okay, it just so happens that you are also the leader. Later, I will assign you a military attaché in Shuiguan Mansion to take a leave of absence. You can also use the excuse of going to Tianhe to train troops and go to Tianhe to practice."
Zhou Yanyu hurriedly saluted, "Thank you so much, Madam, I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."
…
On the other side, Tongming Hall.
When Emperor Ziwei arrived, he first paid homage to the Jade Emperor, then bowed to each other and accepted their homage.
Speaking of it, Emperor Ziwei's rank is still higher than their own. Even when he sees the leaders, he does not need to kneel down.
The Jade Emperor touched his beard and clarified the situation, "Everyone knows the matter, the cause and effect are there, and everyone agrees on the overall situation that peace is the most important thing."
Everyone nodded, and the Jade Emperor continued, "What's left is how much and how to retreat."
Emperor Ziwei bowed his hands and saluted, "Everyone, I accidentally lost my military talisman. If anyone can help find it, I will be grateful."
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, my Buddhist disciples accidentally obtained an object in the sea. After I learned about it, I specially ordered me to come here to return it."
After saying that, he took out the military talisman from his sleeve and offered it with both hands.
"Buddha has mercy." Emperor Ziwei was not polite and accepted it.
He said he dropped it, but everyone knew that the Buddhist monk took it away when it dropped.
Saying this now is just to give Buddhism some face, and also to give both sides a step down.
And Buddhism didn't bother too much, and didn't hold back.
After all, both parties must show some sincerity when negotiating, and everyone knows that in the hands of Buddhism, fiddling with this will only make people disgusted and not conducive to negotiations.
"Okay, since the thing is back, I will take charge of Ziwei's behalf. Da Zhou and Da Zhao will use the current border as the line. The two sides will stop here and coexist peacefully from now on."
The Jade Emperor also mercilessly added obstacles to Emperor Ziwei. After all, it was a boundary at this time and there would be a lot of damage during the big week.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, my Buddhist sect is also under the rule of Heaven, so I naturally obey His Majesty's will."
Emperor Ziwei looked at Han Zhongli, King Tota Li Tianwang, and Wen Zhong. Seeing that they did not express their stance, he finally gritted his teeth and handed over his hand, "Okay, I will do as your Majesty said."
"So good..."
"I am in a bad mood, so I will resign."
Emperor Ziwei interrupted the Jade Emperor's words, bowed his hands in a bow, then turned and left.
He is not stupid. The Jade Emperor is clearly trying to sidestep him and helps Buddhism bully him. But none of these people can help. So why are you still here? Is it embarrassing?
"I also retire!"
"I excuse myself."
Han Zhongli and Wen Zhong both retreated, making the Jade Emperor so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but he also understood their dissatisfaction.
But for him, between Buddhism and Emperor Ziwei, Buddhism is only a minor problem, while Emperor Ziwei is the big problem.
Now it happens that the relationship between Emperor Ziwei and the Taoist sect is torn apart, and he can achieve multiple things with one stone, so he cannot let this opportunity pass by.
After all, his relationship with Daomen has deteriorated, not even a little bit worse.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva saluted, "Amitabha, if your Majesty has no other instructions, I will also take my leave."
"I have nothing else to do, so I will let King Li Tian send the Bodhisattva to you on my behalf."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, King Li."
"I don't dare, I will leave."
…
Yaochi.
Something happened in the Tongming Palace. The Queen Mother and Jiutian Xuannu sensed this, and they each figured it out, and then frowned together.
Jiutian Xuannv said coldly: "I don't care if the Jade Emperor wants to break up with Emperor Ziwei, but using Daoism to please Buddhism is a huge cause and effect. I'd better advise him not to tie himself up."
The Queen Mother smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that he would do such nonsense."
Zhou Yanyu ate a grape and said, "No, your Majesty's actions are very clear. That is to first defeat my ancestor, Emperor Ziwei, so that one person can dominate, and then slowly restore the lost points in the Taoist sect."
Jiutian Xuannv laughed, "Ha, you are quite calm and composed."
Zhou Yanyu tossed another grape and ate it, "I had expected it. This is how the emperor's mind works."
The Queen Mother was curious, "Oh, then how will you advise Emperor Ziwei in the future?"
"This is probably Tianshu's fault, so there's nothing to say."
"Number of days?"
"Buddhism is booming."
"Well……"
The Queen Mother and the Nine-Tian Xuannv had nothing to say, and they had nothing to say when they encountered the number of days.
"If your Majesty has no other instructions, Xiaoxian will go back to see his ancestors."
"Go and say hello to Emperor Ziwei on my behalf. The Jade Emperor's wishes are not my wishes."
"Yes, Xiaoxian will definitely come on your behalf."
Jiutian Xuannv also stood up, "I'll take you off. Go to Shuiguan Mansion first."
Zhou Yanyu saluted, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
…
Shuiguanfu.
When Jiutian Xuannv came forward, Zhou Yanyu easily got a third-grade casual job, allowing him to lead an army of 200,000.
However, Zhou Yanyu has no intention of leading troops, as long as it is convenient to enter and exit Tianhe.
After that, Jiutian Xuannv sent Zhou Yanyu directly to the Ziwei Emperor's Palace and took her to meet Emperor Ziwei.
"Well, your good princess, if anything happens, it's best to listen to her opinions more in the future."
Zhou Yanyu saluted and paid homage, "Thank you so much for your support."
"It doesn't matter, I'll go, the emperor doesn't have to send me off."
Jiutian Xuannu bowed her hands to Emperor Ziwei and turned around to leave. The rest of the people in the palace did not look into her eyes and could only worship her.
"Congratulations to your Majesty."
Even Emperor Ziwei has to be respectful to Jiutian Xuannv, let alone other people.
That is the Nine Heavens Xuannv Empress, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor.
