Datang unsigned for six years, only to know that it is Journey to the West

Chapter 164 In today's sky, the Jade Emperor is the ruler 【Please subscribe and ask for a monthly ticket】

Who is in charge of today's heaven? !

Su Chen casually asked these words, but the Eight Immortals were stunned.

look at each other.

The Eight Immortals have a tacit understanding, and the exchange of hearts at this time is extremely shocking.

"A Shangxian is a Shangxian, it's nothing more than boundless mana, but he still lives in seclusion to such an extent, and he doesn't know that the Jade Emperor is the ruler of the three realms now!"

"Perhaps the Shangxian stopped paying attention to world affairs after the demon court was destroyed, and only wandered around in the mundane world recently."

"Shangxian is Shangxian, we can't be rude."

After the Eight Immortals telepathized, it was Tieguai Li who came forward and responded: "The Shang Immortal has lived in the world for a long time, and he doesn't know anything. The current Lord of the Three Realms is the Jade Emperor."

Su Chen was not surprised.

"Sure enough, the Lord of the Three Realms in every mythical world is the Jade Emperor. However, Tieguai Li is talking about the current Lord of the Three Realms, that is to say, the previous Three Realms were not the Jade Emperor."

"In other words, the former Jade Emperor is not the current Jade Emperor. For example, the former emperor of the Tang Dynasty was Li Yuan, but now he is Li Shimin. Jade Emperor is the emperor's name, and today's Jade Emperor is not the old Jade Emperor!"

Su Chen thought about it and felt a headache, but asking directly, he seemed stupid.

So he just kept on chatting, and then made a side note to see if he could get any useful information.

After chatting for a while, Su Chen said again: "Several fellow Taoists are now in the heaven, and they must have completed their merits and virtues, so they can be named Eight Immortals, right?!"

The Eight Immortals were shocked, and then suddenly realized.

Before they wandered around and joined forces to subdue demons, it might not be eight of them together, most of them were in twos and threes.

So when they were not named Immortals, no one would associate them with the title of Eight Immortals.

Su Chen's words clearly proved that Su Chen was really a master.

They admired Su Chen even more.

Tieguai Li said hastily: "Shangxian really has a clever plan. We did complete our merits and virtues not long ago and were named the Eight Immortals of Shangdong."

The so-called Shangdong Eight Immortals actually refers to a title of the heavenly court. Shangdong is the upper third rank among the immortals, which is equivalent to the third rank and above officials in the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty.

It is conceivable how high the status and strength of the Eight Immortals of Shangdong in the Heavenly Court are.

however.

They were still humble and low-key in front of Su Chen, but they didn't dare to show any pride.

Because, they think, they are not worth mentioning.

Su Chen suddenly realized that the Eight Immortals had just been named Eight Immortals, and they were still in their early stages, so they couldn't be considered powerful.

"I'm better than them, and in this world of fairy tales, I may not be that strong."

Su Chen planned to continue to inquire about some things, so he said, "Are there many people in Heaven who are stronger than you?"

The Eight Immortals thought that Su Chen wanted to know about the situation in the Heavenly Court, so he said, "There are as many people who are more powerful than us, and we are insignificant."

In fact, they were modest and did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Su Chen.

When Su Chen heard this, his scalp felt numb.

"Sure enough, I thought that no matter how inferior I am to the Eight Immortals, I can still have a place in the Heavenly Court. I didn't expect that the Eight Immortals are insignificant in the Heavenly Court. There are as many people who are more powerful than them."

"Fortunately, I'm low-key enough, but I'm still not cautious enough. I still have to be more careful in the future, and don't dare to offend the gods in the sky."

Su Chen didn't dare to let the Eight Immortals see his shock, because he felt that the Eight Immortals seemed to regard him as a big boss and benefactor, and he was about to take it.

Although he felt that he was no different from the Eight Immortals, and his strength was comparable.

But the Eight Immortals couldn't see his 'external strength but middle performance', so he nodded expressionlessly.

Su Chen said again: "I heard that hundreds of years ago, there was a great demon king who fought against the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court was powerless to fight back."

The Eight Immortals thought of Sun Wukong.

He nodded again and again, and said: "That is the disgrace of the Heavenly Court, and I don't mention it now. That big demon king is really powerful. I have dispatched hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals from the Heavenly Court, and none of them are opponents."

Hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals? !

Su Chen was terrified, that guy might be even stronger than Monkey King!

This fairy world looks very advanced!
I'm afraid it's impossible to reduce the dimensionality, and it's better to be low-key and cautious.

Then they talked about some things in detail, and Su Chen learned that there are many talented people in the heaven, there are many masters, and there are as many great immortals as a cow's hair.

At the same time, he also knows that gods can descend to the mortal world, but they cannot interfere with mortal affairs casually.

This is similar to what he expected. Immortals are bound by the rules of heaven, which exists in any world of immortals.

And what shocked him a little was that regarding the matter of mortals becoming immortals, it seemed that the Dao of Heaven suppressed it, and it was very difficult for mortals to become immortals.

No one has become immortal for hundreds of years, and the Eight Immortals became immortals hundreds of years ago.

Su Chen understood, no wonder Sun Simiao and others had improved so much, they were still mortals, presumably they were bound by the way of heaven.

It's no wonder that many mortals have already surpassed ordinary monsters in their cultivation, but they can't become immortals, there are shackles.

but.

The way of heaven has reached the end of suppression, and a large number of mortals can become immortals at any time.

When exactly, the Eight Immortals do not know.

Tieguai Li sighed, and said: "It's just a pity that Buddhism is getting stronger and stronger, and my Taoism has almost no place to stand in the world."

Lu Dongbin said: "Especially in a few years, I am afraid that there will not be many living spaces in the Tang Dynasty."

Su Chen was listening and felt the same way.

A few years ago, when he was just growing up, he almost couldn't keep Hualong Temple.

In the past few years, his ability has made Li Shimin abandon Buddhism and choose Taoism, and pay attention to Taoism, so many Taoist temples have appeared.

but.

Buddhism is still growing uncontrollably and brutally. There are more than ten times more Buddhist temples in the Tang Dynasty than Taoist temples.

Even in Chang'an City, there are more than 36 Buddhist temples, but there are only two Taoist temples, the Royal Taoist Temple and the Yuanmen Temple.

Not to mention outside Chang'an City.

Except for the Yunyuan Mountain in the south where almost all the territory is given to Su Chen, there is no other place for Buddhism to stand, but the other three directions are almost all the territory of Buddhism.

Su Chen lived in the mountains for a long time, and no monk dared to disturb him, so he almost forgot about it.

He said: "There is a poor way, and Buddhism will never infect the land of Tang Dynasty."

When the Eight Immortals heard it, they felt as if they were struck by lightning.

Their faces changed drastically, and they couldn't even talk.

"Is Shangxian going to fight against Buddhism? This is too important, Shangxian can't tell us."

"That's right, and if Shangxian participates in it, I'm afraid it will provoke a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism."

Su Chen was speechless for a while, he just said that he would not give living space to so many Buddhist temples in Datang.

He wants to develop Taoism and curb Buddhism.

How could there be a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism? !

The world is so big, how can there be a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism because of the mere Tang Dynasty? !

Su Chen said: "Don't worry about the sky, and the poor Taoist is just to curb the development of Buddhism a little bit. They don't do production, and the poor Taoist can't get used to it."

The faces of the Eight Immortals changed, but their eyes were full of admiration and fanaticism.

Then they all stood up and cupped their fists, "Shangxian is so brave, if it is useful, I will wait, just ask."

The next step is to discuss how to curb Buddhism and pay attention to Taoism.

Su Chen chatted and felt that they seemed to have misunderstood.

He was a little panicked, it was not a battle between Buddhism and Taoism, but a battle between immortals and Buddhas!

however.

When he was about to explain, the Eight Immortals had already got up to leave with enthusiasm, and they wanted to go back to digest such a big matter.

Moreover, they want to help Su Chen find like-minded people in the sky.

Shangxian has worked so hard, they can't hold back.

Su Chen sent the Eight Immortals away with a bewildered expression, and then looked at a pile of large and small boxes on the ground.

These are the worship rites of the Eight Immortals, packed in Qiankun bags, and each box is filled with heavenly treasures.

Su Chen was very happy, but he was also flustered right now.

"They seem to have misunderstood something. I just want to curb the development of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty and leave some living space for my own Taoism."

"However, why did they discuss with me, how to pull Mantian Buddha down from the altar?! And keep these things as a certificate of honor?!"

Su Chen was dumbfounded.

Excited, the Eight Immortals left, leaving Su Chen in a daze.

Fortunately, there was still a lot of gifts, and Su Chen felt a little relieved.

"It's okay, just accept the things first and then talk, find an opportunity to explain to them, don't think about fighting and killing all day long, the most important thing is to get along peacefully."

Su Chen comforted himself. After opening the box, he saw all kinds of magical medicines and fairy herbs, panaceas, and scriptures.

Su Chen raised his arms and called out, "I am incompatible with Buddhism."

After shouting, Su Chen himself was happy. It is impossible for him to be tough with Buddhism for the sake of Taoism, but for his own territory, it is still necessary to curb the development of Buddhism in Tang Dynasty.

Su Chen asked Sun Simiao and others to put away all the treasures, pick out some that can be planted, and use the rest slowly.

Anyway, the magic weapon is enough for the disciples and grandchildren to have a few pieces, and there are some ordinary books of immortal law that they can study by themselves.

The panacea didn't increase the skill, they were all weird things, but they were some elixir that prolong life, life and death.

But he doesn't need it for now.

Just press the bottom of the box.

Su Chen continued to open the mountain gate to welcome the pilgrims.

Life has to go on, and only by strengthening your own strength can you be able to deal with the majestic world of immortals that the Eight Immortals talked about.

About three days passed.

Yunyuan Mountain ushered in a person who even Su Chen found strange. This person was in his early 30s, but he was already showing signs of aging.

When he came in front of Su Chen, his face was still full of sorrow, his brows condensed into Sichuan characters.

Su Chen glanced at the demon mirror, the person in the mirror was surrounded by a ball of immortal power, he seemed to be a fairy.

However, Su Chen has an exquisite heart, so he can see that this person is a mortal.

Su Chen couldn't help being puzzled by such a strange sign.

Suddenly thought of a possibility, this person is probably the reincarnation of a fairy.

The visitor knelt down directly and said, "Lord Tianshi, I'm the official Qinghe Chiping Ma Zhou, who is a good friend of your apprentice grandson Yuan Tiangang. If something goes wrong today, I'm here to ask the Tianshi."

Ma Zhou? !
Su Chen's eyes lit up, this Ma Zhou was not simple, he was a very legendary character in the early Tang Dynasty.

He was not promoted by Li Shimin, but he was promoted by Li Shimin later, but he was in a high position when he was in his thirties, and became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, on an equal footing with Wei Zhengfang Xuanling and others.

People in later generations once said that half of the credit for the rule of Zhenguan belongs to him.

But few people in later generations know of his existence, just because his achievements violated the interests of many people.

Su Chen was overjoyed, it was the first time he wanted to untie a mortal with such a strong mythological element.

There is some faint expectation.

He said: "Since you were introduced by Yuan Tiangang, the poor will not neglect you. What do you want to ask?"

Ma Zhou said: "The lower official and the general Zhonglang often have disputes. He said that I am thirty and three, but I can't achieve anything. I will be mediocre for the rest of my life."

"I am not convinced by my subordinates, and I wrote to His Majesty to ask for an official, but nothing came to pass. I am depressed and hopeless, and I don't know what the future will be in this life."

Su Chen said: "Do you want to ask about the future?"

Ma Zhou said, "Exactly."

Su Chen said, "How did you get your original future?"

Ma Zhou said: "Speak out and dare to advise."

Su Chen was thoughtful, handed over the bamboo tube, and said, "Okay, let's draw lots first!"

　The next plot will be more exciting, so stay tuned.
