Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 605 I have never had any grudge against Jie Jiao; he could tell at a glance that this old Taoist was not a human being

Jin Guanxian happily agreed, but he always thought of an old friend inexplicably in his heart.
And that old friend, naturally, is Shen Gongbao, who has been filled in the eyes of the North Sea until now, but has been named the general who controls the East China Sea, where the sun rises during pilgrimage, the Tianhe turns at dusk, the summer disperses and the winter condenses, and the water divides again and again.

It was this fellow Taoist who sent dozens of Jiejiao monks to the list of gods with the words "Fellow Taoist, please stay."

Now it seems that this job is his turn.

It's just that those "traitors" who listened to his words are probably already doomed in their outcome, not to mention whether they can take their place and become one of the Eight Immortals with their little chance and luck, or whether they can successfully prevent the Eight Immortals from returning to their throne, even if they succeed. , finally got the opportunity to return to Jin'ao Island to meet Senior Sister Wudang, so what?
Look at the long-eared Dingguang Immortal who is still hanging above the gate of Biyou Palace. Those traitors will be able to get a better deal when they come back.

It may be the kindness of the Virgin Mary to give them a happy life.

However, they probably don't have the ability to go this far.

The three brothers, Tiger, Deer and Sheep, looked at their master who was sitting on the futon and seemed to be in a daze. They also looked at each other. After all, in their memories, their master had never shown such an expression.

The three of them had the intention to do something, but the thought of not being able to cause trouble to the Master with their own meager behavior was already the greatest help to the Master.

heaven.

Tusita Palace.

The Jade Emperor and Lao Jun have a forehand discussion.

"I didn't expect that Your Majesty would choose to let Jiejiao take a hand in the calamity of the Eight Immortals." Laojun's words were not a compliment, but he really didn't expect that the Jade Emperor would settle here.

"I have never had any grudges with Jie Jiao." The Jade Emperor said with a smile: "Besides, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother's cultivation is advanced, and it will be a matter of time for her to get out of trouble... In this case, I might as well give her a ride."

"Oh?" The old man raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Your Majesty may not have any grudge against Jie Jiao. But the old Taoist remembers that Princess Longji died at the hands of the Golden Spirit Mother. Did your Majesty forget this? Or should we just ignore the past grievances?"

"Hehehehe——" The Jade Emperor chuckled a few times, then straightened his expression and said to Laojun: "Back then, in the Conferred Gods War, life and death depended on chance, not to mention they were both on the Conferred Gods List. If I really care about this matter, Jin How can it be so easy when the spirit is in heaven?"

Laojun doesn't care how true or false the Jade Emperor's words are. Even if the Jade Emperor is talking about it now, Laojun doesn't believe that the Jade Emperor doesn't care about this matter.

At a certain moment, Laojun even came up with the idea that because the Golden Spirit Mother was on the list of gods, not even the Jade Emperor could kill her. Now let the Golden Spirit Mother free herself from the shackles of the Gods List. , and then the Jade Emperor can manipulate the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit at will.
This is just Laojun's conjecture at a certain moment in his heart. Although he is not convinced by the Jade Emperor's ambition, he thinks that the Jade Emperor will not do such a thing. Of course, if he really does such a thing, Laojun I won't think it's weird, that's all.

In his heart, the Jade Emperor has always been an existence whose upper and lower limits cannot be determined. Perhaps the real Taiqing Saint can see it more clearly. After all, he is just an ordinary alchemy expert.

As for what others take him to be, that is their business.

"Today's Three Realms are different from the past." The Jade Emperor did not hesitate, but smiled and said: "What was the plan of the saints before?"

The old man had to sigh after hearing this, "Since the saints withdrew from the Three Realms, the context of the Three Realms seems to have become unfathomable. However, Your Majesty is not afraid of dragging Jie Jiao into the calamity of the Eight Immortals, and what will happen. Is it a variable?"

"Hahahaha." The Jade Emperor's originally lazy demeanor suddenly became more serious, "Is there still such a little change in the Three Realms today?"

The old man shook his head helplessly, and then said pointedly: "It seems that your Majesty's plan is not small."

"What plans can I have?" The Jade Emperor restrained the sharpness that was slightly revealed just now, "It's just that I want to give all living beings a truly stable Three Realms, and then I will go to this supreme position so that I can travel around the world. So vast.”

Laojun still didn't believe a word of this.

However, he still agreed: "Then I wish your Majesty to realize his wish as soon as possible."

"Hahahaha-"

Then the two old foxes looked at each other and laughed loudly.

After laughing, Lao Jun calmed down a little and shouted: "Niu'er."

Qing Niu was still lying in the yard taking a nap when he suddenly heard Lao Jun's call. He was immediately excited. Then he quickly got up and walked outside the palace. Just when he was about to kowtow to Lao Jun and the Jade Emperor, he heard Lao Jun. Said: "You can go down to earth."

"Huh? Yes."

Qing Newton was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what mistake he had made. Why did Laojun want to demote him to the mortal world? But this was Laojun's order, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

He just agreed, turned around and walked out, walking slowly and looking back three times every step.

When the Jade Emperor saw this, he thought it was quite funny, so he said to Qing Niu: "Why don't you ask me why I asked you to go down to the lower realm?"

Qingniu stopped, thanking the Jade Emperor for the steps he had sent up, and kowtowed to Laojun.

Before he could speak, the old man smiled and said: "You are still pretending to be stupid in front of me. The reason for this is to ask you to help the Eight Immortals return to their throne. After you succeed, it will be your own benefit."

"The disciple takes orders."

Changan.

There was an old man who rode a donkey upside down, which attracted the attention of the people of Chang'an.

In Chang'an, Taoist priests riding donkeys are actually not uncommon. But this was the first time for him to ride a donkey backwards.

Nowadays, half of Chang'an has entered the world of cultivation. There are quite a few monks of all kinds in Chang'an City.

There are even some monsters with special credentials who can act freely in Chang'an City.

As the first open metropolis in the Three Realms, the Tang Dynasty can be said to be at the forefront of being inclusive and accepting of all rivers. Needless to say, ordinary monks. Some monsters who are kind to others, after getting access to the Great Ci'en Temple, Zhongnan Mountain or the Tang Dynasty If the academy is recognized by the Tang Dynasty, it will be awarded a Tang People's Order. Holding this order, you can enjoy the same treatment as Tang people in the Tang Dynasty.

But similarly, if you violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you will be punished equally.

In addition, there are some demons that can also act in the Tang Dynasty, but generally speaking, they are easy to hide from the light. That is the bad people led by Yuan Tiangang. There are many demons and evil cultivators among them.

It's just that bad people have not existed on the surface since the beginning of their establishment. Instead, they are only under the leadership of Yuan Tiangang and are only responsible to Li Shimin.

During the days when Li Shimin was in seclusion and going through the "Death Tribulation of the Human King", even Li Zhi had no control over the bad people. It was not that he did not want to interfere with the bad people, but that he could not find Yuan Tiangang at all.

Yuan Tiangang was very ambitious. If Li Shimin hadn't convinced him, he probably wouldn't have put so much effort into forming bad guys.

But now, the effect is significant.

As a descendant of Taoism, Yuan Tiangang is well aware of the relationship between yin and yang, and the same applies to ruling a huge empire.

The light on the surface and the darkness behind it are all necessary elements for the prosperity and stability of the Tang Empire.

And Yuan Tiangang is also very happy to be the nightkeeper who secretly protects Datang.

Yuan Tiangang, who had not appeared in front of others for a long time, stood on the streets of Datang for the first time today, blocking the way of the old man who was riding a donkey backwards.

"Senior, do you have credentials to enter the Tang Dynasty?"

Yuan Tiangang's words were not polite. Others could not tell the true story of this veteran, but they could not hide it from his eyes. This was because he had specially consulted Tripitaka Buddha for advice in order to cultivate his eyes that were good at distinguishing demons.

He could tell at a glance that this old man was not a human being.

Since he is not a human being, if there is no proof for the demon who has entered the Tang Dynasty without permission, then don't blame him for being rude.

"Immeasurable Daoist."

The old Taoist who was riding the donkey backwards naturally knew that the bad handsome man in front of him was not a good man. He got off the donkey, bowed to Yuan Tiangang, and then said with a smile: "The old Taoist Zhang Guo has seen bad handsome men in the Tang Dynasty."

With the current size of the Tang Dynasty, monks like them, not to mention the immortals and Buddhas in Heaven and Lingshan, would not dare to act arbitrarily based on their status.

Especially at this critical juncture when Li Shimin was about to regain his power as a human king, the attitudes of all parties towards the Tang Dynasty became even more cautious. They were afraid that if they were not careful, it would become a stepping stone for Li Shimin to achieve enlightenment.

As for taking advantage of Li Shimin's unstable footing and decisively taking action against him, he must first consider whether he can withstand the wrath of Sanzang Saint Tathagata and the backlash of human race's fate.

For the various ethnic groups in the three realms, if someone else takes action against Li Shimin, they will definitely celebrate, but they themselves will never choose to be the stand-out and stupid person.

Although all the races in the three realms knew that the human race had won the favor of heaven and earth, who would have thought that the rise of the human race would only require an outlet.

How many people could have expected that such changes would be completed in just over ten years?

Even counting the 14 years that Master Tripitaka spent on his journey to the West, that is about 30 years. Not to mention those immortals and Buddhas, 30 years is just a matter of seclusion and passing in the blink of an eye, even for ordinary practitioners.

Even in heaven, it only lasts for a month.
As for the human race, they have begun a major change that is almost going to "change the world." How can this not shock all the races in the three realms?

Zhang Guolao came here for this reason.

He is indeed not a human, but he is not a demon either. His true body is the first bat spirit in the Three Realms when Chaos first divided.

Ordinarily, for such a follower who can cultivate to this day, his status in the Three Realms should not be just like this. But in fact, Zhang Guolao does not have much reputation in the Three Realms.

Otherwise, why couldn't even Yuan Tiangang recognize him?
The reason for this is actually that when the world first opened and the three clans of dragon, phoenix and unicorn were fighting for hegemony, the bat clan jumped repeatedly among the three clans, and almost ended up being exterminated.

Back then, when the bat clan went to the Phoenix camp, they showed their wings and said that they were also from the bird clan;

When the Qilin clan was strong, they said that they were also wet-born and suckling animals. Although they had wings, they had no feathers at all and could not lay eggs.
When the Dragon Clan was at its most powerful, the Bat Clan ran to the Ancestral Dragon and said, "The Phoenix Clan doesn't think of them as birds, and the Qilin Clan doesn't think of them as beasts. We don't know where to go, so we can only come and join the Dragon Clan."

Finally, after Zulong went through the bloodline induction, he came to a very explosive conclusion, saying that the bats do indeed contain some dragon bloodline.
This matter, even the Bat Ancestor himself has not thought of it. But if you think about it carefully, you won't find it strange. After all, there are indeed many creatures and races with dragon blood in the Three Realms.

Moreover, the dragon bloodline in the ancestor of the bat is not considered genuine. Otherwise, there should be some outward appearance of the dragon. It is not completely absent. The ancestor of the bat said that his claws are dragon claws. .
No matter what, the Bat Clan can be considered accepted by the Dragon Clan.

As a result, the bat clan jumped repeatedly among the three clans. But things will eventually be exposed one day.

As a result, the bat clan was jointly wanted by the three clans of dragon, phoenix and unicorn. In the end, they were forced to hide in caves far away, hiding day and night.
As for Zhang Guolao, he suffered a completely unreasonable disaster.

Although he was the first white bat in the Three Realms, and he was a naturally raised auspicious beast elf, his cultivation level was not high at that time, and he could not transform. Coupled with the suffocation operation of the Bat Clan, the Bat Clan became the Three Realms Everyone from all ethnic groups called him a wanted criminal. This made him afraid to show himself in front of others.

I have been careful and careful all the way, and have been practicing hard and stumbling until now.
Fortunately, hard work pays off. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zhang Guolao accidentally met Laozi, the founder of human Taoism in the lower realms, and received his enlightenment, and he devoted himself to practicing Taoism ever since.

It's just that he only received some advice from Lao Tzu, and at best he can only be regarded as an anonymous disciple.

Yuan Tiangang was the orthodox successor of various Taoist schools, and he belonged to the direct lineage. No matter how advanced Zhang Guolao's cultivation was, the status of the two in Taoism was not the same.

From the moment Zhang Guolao announced his family name, Yuan Tiangang immediately figured out the origin and whereabouts of the other party. Only then did he calm down his serious expression, and there was a bit of a smile on his face, "It turns out it's Brother Zhang Dao, poor Taoist Yuan Tiangang is polite, but I don’t know what your purpose is in coming to Chang’an this time.”

Zhang Guolao, who had already made a plan in his mind, naturally did not hesitate at this moment, so he directly raised his hand and said: "I heard that Emperor Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty was recruiting talents. The old Taoist thought that he still had some skills, so he came to recommend himself."

"Immeasurable Daoist."

Yuan Tiangang also recited a Taoist name, stretched out his hand to lead him, and said: "Your Majesty is at Da Ci'en Temple at the moment. Taoist brother, do you want to go and see him?"

Da Ci'en Temple?

Zhang Guolao felt a little hesitant in his heart, mainly because the name of Tripitaka Holy Buddha is now too loud and dazzling in the three realms. Even though he has never done anything harmful to anyone, he still has to treat it with caution.
