Chapter 165: The Great Emperor Returns to the Chan Teaching, the Queen Mother's Biography
Heaven, Yaochi Immortal Palace.
After the Queen Mother of the West and Yuanshi Tianzun bowed, the guests and hosts took their seats.
"Senior Brother Yuqing usually goes to Kunlun Mountain to receive blessings. Today he came to Heaven. I'm afraid it's not as simple as visiting my little sister, right?"
Of course Queen Mother Xi was very clear about Yuanshi Tianzun's intention, so she didn't bother to test each other and do Tai Chi. This was an obvious exchange of interests, and there was nothing to argue about.
"To be honest, I took the liberty of disturbing my junior sister today because of the rumors in the heaven. It is said that the empress plans to choose the Qinghua Emperor of the East Pole and the Eternal Life Emperor of the Antarctic. I wonder if this is true?"
Queen Mother Xi pursed her lips and smiled and nodded: "Although these are mostly rumors, I do want to make up for the remaining two emperors. I can't always let other emperors share responsibilities that do not belong to me, right?"
Yuanshi Tianzun was now more certain that the Heavenly Court wanted to spread the word so that the saints could take the bait themselves and make way for the Heavenly Emperor to confer the title of Human Emperor.
"Brother Wei came here today because he wanted to discuss the candidates for the two emperors with his junior sister."
Queen Mother Xi nodded and said, "Senior brother also wants his disciples to become officials in heaven?"
Yuanshi Tianzun is no longer secretive. Everyone is at the same level. There are countless powerful people in the world. No one is a fool. It is more direct and safe to talk directly about interests.
"As a senior brother, I have not expressed support for the two junior sisters since they became the Great Heavenly Lord. In the past, they were alone and there was no need to help each other. Now there are several incompetent and bad disciples, but we can share the worries and let them come to heaven.
Assisting your two majesties can be regarded as my senior brother doing his best."
The Queen Mother of the West smiled secretly in her heart and replied: "Originally, someone recommended a Western Taoist Medicine Master to me, saying that he is kind-hearted and compassionate, which is very consistent with the authority of the Qinghua Emperor of the East."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly, but did not refute these words. Emperor Qinghua of the East Ji, also known as Taiyi, saves the suffering Tianzun. He saves people in the world and saves evil ghosts. He represents the bright and compassionate side of heaven in addition to the majesty of heaven. His authority can be
Big or small.
If it's a big one, he'll be in charge of all the things that save the suffering and save all sentient beings in the Three Realms, including the preaching of saint sects. If it's a small one, it can also be regarded as a mascot, and at most it will take care of the evil ghosts in hell.
Western teachings emphasize compassion and universal salvation. Although Buddhism has not yet been established, and there is no distinction between Mahayana and Hinayana, the basic teachings have been perfected, and there are methods to help others and ourselves.
Compared to the Taoist sect, which behaves carefree and only seeks to detach itself, the Qinghua Emperor of the East is obviously more useful to Western religions. If he gets this authority, he will simply take care of both public and private missions, and it will be difficult for the sect not to develop.
But the more this happens, the more Yuanshi Tianzun doesn't want Western religions to get it. If Xuanmen gets this priesthood, it can in turn prevent Western religions from spreading the Dharma.
"However, since senior brother is determined to let his disciples become officials in heaven, we and I are very happy to welcome him."
Hearing the words of the Queen Mother of the West, Yuanshi Tianzun was overjoyed and showed his sincerity: "It is an honor for my disciples to be able to help my junior sister take care of my worries. However, Ji Mang of the Xiong Tribe has the appearance of a human emperor, and I hope that your majesty will appoint him as a human emperor.
When the time comes, we can give him priority."
When Yuanshi Tianzun said these words, it was equivalent to acknowledging that Duke Dongwang had the authority to appoint the human emperor, and it was a statement that he would no longer obstruct him. Moreover, when he mentioned Ji Mang, he also hoped to reach an agreement with the Heavenly Court so that Ji Mang could smoothly ascend to the throne.
"It's easy to say. There are not many people with the appearance of an emperor. Although Jiang Yuzong is good, his Majesty said personally that Emperor Yan's regime only has a destiny of 18,000 years. Now that his destiny is over, he can no longer continue to be a member of the human race.
Lord. As for the Jiuli tribe..."
When the Queen Mother of the West said this, she frowned: "Although Chi You was reincarnated into the human race, he still had complete memories of the witch race and became a great witch body, which is indeed inappropriate. What's more, this person is very cruel and has no strong sense of belonging to the human race.
To bully others with force and have a murderous nature is not the sign of a wise king. If he becomes the human emperor, it will not be a blessing to the human race."
"Junior Sister understands everything clearly and what she said is right. Although I have some selfish motives for supporting Ji Mang's rise to power, Ji Mang is indeed an outstanding person who combines benevolence, wisdom, and bravery. If he becomes the Human Emperor, he will bring great benefits to the human race.
Big development.”
Yuanshi Tianzun was relieved. Since the Queen of Heaven said this, she also expressed her agreement with Ji Mang as the human emperor. In this way, Chanjiao does not have to face the overt and covert obstruction and competition of the emperors or gods in heaven. Ji Mang's ascension is basically
It's a sure thing, all we need to do is defeat Chi You.
But thinking of Chi You, Tianzun frowned secretly. With this man's strength, none of the disciples of the Sanqing Sect could be his opponent, and it is estimated that Chi You would also get the support of the Wu Clan, making it even more difficult to defeat him.
In fact, Xuanmen is very powerful. In addition to Sanqing, there are many great masters who have listened to the teachings in Zixiao Palace. They are all from the Xuanmen lineage. As Sanqing, they are both saints and ancestors of Hongjun.
Personal disciples can definitely ask these people to take action.
However, after all, the two parties have no direct affiliation. In order for them to take action, in addition to sharing their merits and fortunes, they also have to owe karma. They must be rewarded, otherwise they will work in vain. Firstly, it will be detrimental to the development of the sect, and secondly, thirdly
If you are clear-faced, you will not be able to hang on, and your status in Xuanmen will also be affected.
But now that we have reached an agreement with the Heavenly Court, we can ask them to take action. At that moment, the Heavenly Lord said: "I think Chi You is very difficult to deal with, and my disciples may not be able to handle him. If the matter is urgent, I still need the support of Ji Mang, the empress.
It is also good for the Emperor to return to his throne as soon as possible and help His Majesty achieve his meritorious deeds."
The Queen Mother of the West originally did not want to intervene in the battle between human and emperor, but what Yuanshi Tianzun said made sense. How could the disciples of the Sanqing sect be the match of the Wu clan? If Chi You really defeated Ji Mang, this is not what the heaven wants to see.
.
As for the possibility of facing off against the Witch Clan, she didn't care. After all, the Witch Clan was not from Heaven, so it would be okay for the two sides to fight.
Secondly, Chi You gave up his identity as a Wu Clan and reincarnated into the human race to fight for the Human Emperor. This was an initiative to separate from the Wu Clan, which was completely different from Zhu Rong, Di Fei and others.
Besides, is his relationship with Hou Tu comparable to that of Zhu Rong and others? Hou Tu cannot support him in the same way as he supports Zhu Rong and others. At most, some great witches who had a good relationship with him back then will come out, which is not something to be afraid of and will not affect the overall situation.
Although they dislike Hou Tu very much, they are both leaders in the heaven after all. They still have to remain united in front of outsiders, and some issues must be considered comprehensively.
"Senior brother, don't worry. If Ji Mang has a problem that he can't solve, I can help him a little bit."
"Thank you so much, junior sister." Yuanshi Tianzun got the result he wanted and left very satisfied.
Queen Mother Xi sat there and meditated. In fact, the reason why she wanted to release the big cake of the emperor's position was because she was worried that the saints would have another battle of providence.
Now, although the name of Duke Dong is in seclusion, he actually went to the chaos, and he doesn’t know when he will come back.
If the saints knew about this, wouldn't it be a big deal? They might immediately unite and stage another battle of providence.
So when they don't dare to take action, they need to take control of the situation first to prevent things from slipping into the worst possible outcome.
As for the position of emperor, to be honest, the purpose of keeping these two emperors unconfessed was to exchange interests with the saints. Firstly, to win over the saints at a critical moment, and secondly, in the hope that Heavenly Court could establish more interests with the saint sect.
Bundle.
The deeper the entanglement between the two parties, the greater the buffer space, and the less likely the saints are to collectively overturn the table. This has great positive significance in conquering the saints and their sects.
Anyway, disciples of saints have to abide by the rules of heaven when they go to heaven. At most, they can open a back door for their own sect, which is not a big deal.
Both parties knew this matter well, but in the past the saints were too high-minded and unwilling to take the initiative, or they had not waited until the time to maximize their benefits.
Now forced by the situation, the Queen Mother of the West took advantage of the differences and contradictions within the saints to use this killer weapon, and it worked.
"Go and tell the Red Emperor to come see me!"
Taibai Jinxing heard the empress's instructions and hurriedly went to invite Haotian in person. Originally, there was no need for him to go for such a thing, but since the person was the Emperor of Heaven, he had to go there in person.
Not long after, Haotian came to Yaochi Immortal Palace, bent down and saluted: "Brother, please see your empress!"
"Red Emperor, no courtesy!" Queen Mother Xi waited for Haotian to sit down aside, then explained the reason why she came to him.
"Heavenly Court has reached an agreement with Yuanshi Tianzun to jointly support Ji Mang of the Bear Tribe to become the Taoist Emperor. You and Yuanshi Tianzun can be regarded as brothers and have a close relationship. You will be responsible for the cooperation with Chanjiao. How about it?"
Haotian thought in his mind, doing this has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you can gain some luck and merit from the human race in the process, but the disadvantage is that it will easily arouse the resentment of Empress Houtu.
Although he also supported Kui Wei in the last battle for the Earth Emperor, at that time, the Wu Clan also supported Kui Wei, and the interests of both parties were consistent to a certain extent. If he supports Ji Mang this time, he will definitely cooperate with the Wu Clan.
match.
However, this is not a big deal. Since the Queen of Heaven has given orders, he cannot refuse.
The relationship between the Queen of Heaven and Empress Houtu is not on good terms, and this is no secret in the Heavenly Court. As for the reason, everyone understands it tacitly.
Now that the Queen of Heaven and Empress Houtu seemed to have different intentions, he was caught in the middle. If he had to choose a side, of course he would choose his direct boss, the Empress of Heaven.
"Don't worry, my dear, I will definitely live up to my trust."
