A moment ago, Lingqin'er thought that the highest-status god she could see in her life was probably the pretty-faced emperor.
But she really didn’t expect it!
Taishang Laojun!
Looking at the tall and thin Taoist who slowly got off the green ox and stepped forward with the support of Ziwei Emperor Junxu, Lingqin'er instantly completed the process of transforming into a human being, kneeling down, kowtowing, and erecting his hair.
She had no idea what was happening and she didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Lingqin'er felt that she was immersed in the mysterious and ethereal Taoist charm, and she no longer had any worldly desires...
Meow, this life is worth it!
That sound of cow mooing stopped Zhou Zheng and shocked the hearts of all the gods and gods in the room.
No one can tell for sure when Taishang Laojun left the Tusita Palace, but before the robbery in Heaven, this Laojun had disappeared, and the Tusita Palace was soon filled with worms that had escaped from the medicine garden.
'The spiritual grass.
Taishang Laojun is one of the Three Pure Ones - there are also rumors that he is an incarnation of the real Taishang Laojun. He is the only Taoist ancestor of the Three Pure Ones who is still active in heaven and earth.
Why can the Heavenly Court gradually become more prosperous? This has a great connection with the Taishang Laojun’s permanent presence in the Heavenly Court!
All ways originate from emptiness, and all phenomena originate from name.
The original Qi obtains the true meaning, transforming the three pure things into one.
As soon as Laojun arrived, the whole courtyard seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and their team villa seemed to have lost contact with the outside world.
Zhou Zheng hurried forward, not knowing what kind of salute was suitable for him, so he simply imitated Uncle Fu and Wang Shan in the courtyard, bending his legs and kneeling directly...
Nezha, Divine General Yinhu, all the immortals in the room, Li Zhiyong, Xiao Sheng, and Yue Wushuang all clasped their fists and cupped their hands, and said in unison: "Greetings to the old gentleman."
clatter.
Zhou Zheng could no longer hold back his posture and knelt directly in front of everyone.
The whole person froze in place, and the scene suddenly became a little more awkward.
No, no need to kneel?
What about Forbes?
Ah, Uncle Fu seems to be a non-staff disciple of Tushita Palace, so it is reasonable for a disciple to kneel to his teacher; Laojun has a transcendent status in heaven, so kneeling to worship him is not beautiful.
Zhou Zheng blinked, and his eye circles suddenly turned red. Looking at the thin old man in front of him who was looking at him with a smile, he lowered his head and sobbed.
"Laojun! I, I am suffering!"
The group of immortals around:...
All in all, it’s just unclear.
Lao Jun sighed softly and walked slowly inside with a whisk in hand. A pair of big wrinkled hands that seemed to have no magical power held Zhou Zheng's arms and slowly helped Zhou Zheng up.
Lao Jun said warmly: "I've wronged you."
Zhou Zheng seemed to feel a heartstring trembling slightly, and the Qingmu Avenue he had practiced before was a little loose.
It seems that there is an opportunity to transform oneself.
Is this the Taoist ancestor of Sanqing? I love it.
Even if it is rumored that the Taishang Laojun in Heaven is only the incarnation of one of the Three Pure Ones, he is far from being a half-step creation like Wang Shan and Ziwei Emperor's Tao Yun.
Qing Qing Miao Miao is the supreme immortal, Xuan Xuan Zhen Zhen has a wonderful way.
Laojun let go of Zhou Zheng's arm, patted the back of Zhou Zheng's hand, and then walked forward slowly, walking under the landscape painting. He was among the bonsai left by the Baihua Fairy, and there was a simple futon under him.
.
He slowly took his seat.
There were no visions or any celestial light.
But just the action of sitting down seems to contain the endless natural avenue.
that is……
The green bull outside the door transformed into a green-skinned man with a nose ring accompanied by the fairy light. He winked at the black bear spirit, but the latter just shook his head with a smile.
Qingniu: Let’s have a fight?
Black Bear Spirit: You can’t.
That's probably it.
After a while, Lao Jun sighed softly: "You can just sit down and sit down. There is no need to be formal."
Everyone moved forward, pushed aside their chairs, took out futons, and sat in two rows on the left and right according to their respective positions in the Taoist sect, with Emperor Ziwei and Zhou Zheng, the reincarnation of the Qinghua Emperor, as their leaders.
Xiao Sheng and Yue Wushuang originally wanted to imitate the black bear spirit and sit cross-legged outside the door;
But as soon as they made a move, they were grabbed by Li Zhiyong, and they went behind Zhou Zheng together and sat down on the ground.
rub!
You can rub it all!
A being like Laojun who transcends the three realms will definitely not be as experienced as a few of them. When encountering such an opportunity, he must move forward with a shameless face.
Emperor Ziwei smiled and said, "Why are you here in person, Laojun? If you have anything to send, why don't you just let Master Dongling know? He has also developed some errand-running skills now, and he can deliver messages very quickly.
"
"Hehehe, good."
Laojun closed his eyes and chuckled, his old face with few wrinkles full of a gentle smile.
"I have been waiting for this day for a long time, but it has always been not far away."
Zhou Zheng was startled for a moment: "Laojun, what do you mean?"
Laojun asked: "You should have understood by now, what is the Jade Emperor's way?" Bayi Chinese website
Zhou Zheng knew that Lao Jun's question was of great importance, but he couldn't just ignore it.
He thought carefully and was not in a hurry to answer. He took seven or eight breaths before speaking:
"To prevent living beings from being restrained by the way of heaven, so that oneself is not suppressed by the way of heaven, and to be free from living beings, even if most of the living beings are sacrificed for this, it is okay to create a three realms without restraints."
"Shan," Laojun asked again, "then you should also understand what the way of heaven is."
"Disciples can only know one or two things," Zhou Zheng said. "Judging from the Jade Emperor's story, the way of heaven is to suppress living beings step by step and reduce the influence of living beings on heaven and earth."
Laojun smiled and nodded, with a little more joy in his eyes, and said slowly:
"Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and the three transforms all things. The three can be heaven and earth, humans, gods, humans and beasts, or all things in the world.
“Everything embraces yin and yang, and creates harmony with qi.
"From your point of view, is there room for reconciliation and balance between the ideals of the Jade Emperor and the ideals of Heaven?"
Zhou Zheng thought carefully for a while and said slowly:
"If it is within a certain range... yes, it is the number of living creatures!
"If the number of living beings is within the range that heaven and earth can bear, or within the range permitted by heaven, the conflict between the two can be completely reconciled.
"But if the number of creatures exceeds that limit, the balance will be broken, and conflict is inevitable!"
"The understanding is really good."
Laojun sighed slightly:
“Motion and stillness, peace and chaos, are all transformations of yin and yang.
"The essence of this problem, in the final analysis, is that the heaven and earth are limited but the living beings are boundless. Although the Six Paths of Reincarnation stabilized the heaven and earth and allowed the prosperous age of living beings to continue for countless years, it still suppressed all opposition and contradictions to this point."
Zhou Zheng asked directly: "What should we do? Is it family planning?"
Uh, Laojun, are you laughing?
Are you making yourself laugh?
The corners of Zhou Zheng's mouth twitched slightly.
"I don't know the answer either. This is an unavoidable question for every world until the end." Laojun shook his head slightly, "But I know that you are the one who can find the answer."
"I?"
Zhou Zheng was slightly caught off guard.
It dawned on him.
The reason why Lao Jun showed up was not because of Wang Shan, but because of what he said.
I need to find a third way.
Lao Jun raised his hand and nodded, and the Tai Chi diagram appeared behind Zhou Zheng.
Laojun said warmly:
"The last thing the Jade Emperor did before his death was to block all the arrangements I made for you. He glimpsed a certain true meaning in his fight with Heaven.
"If you can't break that barrier and gradually sink in reincarnation, there will be no hope for this world.
"Zhou Zheng."
Zhou Zheng felt a little warm in his heart.
Laojun called him by his real name, not Emperor or Lu Dongbin.
Laojun asked: "Are you willing to find this third way? To give living beings more hope?"
Zhou Zheng had almost no hesitation: "Disciple is willing."
"Even if the road ahead is difficult and difficult, how rugged is it?"
"Is this a matter of learning from scriptures?" Zhou Zheng asked with a blink of an eye.
"Learning scriptures and seeking the Tao are all about ways to relieve suffering. If you understand it this way, it's okay," Laojun said slowly, "but the road you want to take is far from comparable to Journey to the West."
Zhou Zheng's expression froze.
Isn't it just like Sister Sanzang sitting over there, riding a white horse on the ground, with a group of gods in the sky secretly protecting her, just going through the motions?
The old man smiled and said: "The third way does not exist now, nor in the future, nor in the stars in the sky, nor in the five continents."
"Laojun, I don't understand something..."
"You don't need to understand this now," Laojun said warmly, "You only need to make a choice. If there is a slim chance, you can save all souls, but you will have to suffer hardships eighty-one times along the way.
Are you willing to suffer the hardships of life and death?"
Zhou Zheng clenched his fist slightly.
In front of Lao Jun, he didn't want to be deceived, nor could he have any vain thoughts.
Zhou Zheng whispered: "Laojun, I am willing to give it a try, but...but please Laojun, don't put all your hopes on me. I am a little afraid of carrying this expectation, and there is nothing else.
"
"good."
Lao Jun seemed to be hesitant, but in the end he just smiled and nodded at Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng also seemed to have let go of something and felt much more relaxed.
At that moment, Lao Jun took out a jade talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Zhou Zheng, saying slowly: "This method can connect to the divine."
Zhou Zheng leaned forward, held the jade talisman over with both hands, and peeked into it a little, and the thought "Sure enough," came to his mind.
"Pure Yang Wuji"!
The exercises that Lu Dongbin practiced in his previous life!
A skill that can be cultivated to the extreme, transforming pure yang into a balanced yin and yang, and during the process of cultivation, it can produce a fatal attraction to the opposite sex!
this……
Buzz, buzz!
The phone in Zhou Zheng's arms vibrated, and then a pleasant ringtone sounded.
[You have to love even to the point of death, it won’t be happy if you don’t love it fully and fully! Only this way can express your deep feelings enough——]
Zhou Zheng glanced at Lao Jun with some embarrassment, and the latter nodded with a smile.
"Hello? Ah, Yingying, don't worry, I have something going on here... Ah, you were trapped in Longchen by Instructor Xiaoyue before? Don't make trouble with Instructor Xiaoyue, I'm really fine here, just come here slowly
Okay, I'm a little busy here... Well, Sanqing Daozu, ahem, there is a kind-hearted old man here. I'll be busy first and wait for you to come and chat. I'm not injured. Wang Lingguan has been subdued. Okay, okay.
Yes, bye."
Putting down his phone, Zhou Zheng turned to look at Zi Wei, who was looking up at the ceiling, and then at the immortals and gods with colorful expressions, and gave an embarrassed smile.
"It's Ao Ying. She has been worried about my safety since last night. I'm sorry."
Laojun narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I have improved this technique."
"Improvement?"
"Originally, only the ninth level can cultivate both yin and yang, but now the sixth level can cultivate both yin and yang," Lao Jun said warmly, "Young people don't need to be too depressed. Half of the beauty of living things is reproduction."
Zhou Zheng:......
Lao Jun sighed softly, looked at Li Zhiyong behind Zhou Zheng, and said slowly: "Where is disciple Taibai?"
Li Zhiyong quickly stood up, bowed his head and knelt down.
"The disciple is here."
"Well," Laojun nodded slightly, and two fairy gourds, one gold and one silver, floated out of his sleeves and landed in front of Li Zhiyong, "I return the favor to you, no need to shirk the blame."
Li Zhiyong whispered: "Thank you, Laojun."
Favor?
Taibai Venus?
The status of Taibaijinxing is far inferior to that of Laojun. Even if the Taishang Laojun in front of him is just the incarnation of the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty, it is far beyond what Taibaijinxing can compare with. How...
"Get up, no need to be polite."
Laojun's eyes moved towards Xiao Sheng and Yue Wushuang. The whisk in his hand fluttered gently, and two whisk threads floated out, condensing into two wooden swords, one black and one white.
Lao Jun didn't say anything, Xiao Sheng and Yue Wushuang immediately stood up and knelt down to salute Lao Jun.
Then, Laojun glanced at the kneeling cat-eared girl in the corner, formed a pill out of thin air, and flicked it in front of Lingqin'er.
Laojun gives gifts to everyone!
Uncle Fu whispered from the side: "Laojun, my waist has been hurting lately."
"You need to move more," Lao Jun said warmly, "You are just too lazy."
Uncle Fu quickly apologized and smiled.
Emperor Ziwei asked: "Dare I ask, Laojun, are you really going to repeat the Journey to the West?"
Lao Jun shook his head slightly and said slowly: "This was just a misunderstanding by Dong Ling at the time. To reenact Journey to the West is just to seal the demon again, not to turn things around."
"That……"
Lao Jun flicked the fly whisk in his hand, and a purple fairy light spread in front of everyone.
The fairy light moved forward slowly, and completely different star maps emerged within it.
The figure of Lao Jun, together with the figure of the green bull and Wang Shan in the courtyard, are gradually becoming fainter at this moment.
"Zhou Zheng, let's practice.
"When you have mastered the Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu to the first level, I will open the first level of tribulation for you.
“If you want to turn things around, you have to go against the current.
"Today's heaven and earth only know about creation but not about saints. The way of heaven has long blocked the path to becoming a saint, and has also blocked the path for my three friends to interfere with heaven and earth.
"The way of heaven is recovering. You only have about twenty years or even less chance. When the way of heaven is fully unfolded, everything will be irreversible.
"Your journey to the west is only between this city, not now.
"Wang Shanwo took him away, and later threw him into the Bagua furnace to refine his inner demons, temper his body, and make him suffer hardships and punishments to pay for his sins and stand up for living beings one day."
Zhou Zheng was startled, staring at the purple fairy light, feeling dizzy.
Until Fu Bo's voice sounded:
"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhou! It's time to salute!"
Zhou Zheng raised his head and looked at the place where Lao Jun was sitting just now. It was already empty.
He bowed his head and saluted with everyone in a daze, but his mind could not turn around for a long time.
Finally, Zhou Zheng breathed out.
All demons seek their own way.
This is, demons all seek their own way.
The Tao is here, not now.
Go against the current and turn things around.
This is……
My journey to the west.

【Aspirations·End】
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road and meets familiar people, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There is no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they are indifferent to everything.
Regarding this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, it also has some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Slayer Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and eventually he is expected to become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possess the memory of the previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Different from other places in the Demon Suppression Division that are full of chills, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppression Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment just changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, causing him to frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Zhenmo Division.
