Yaochi.
Erlang Zhenjun sat opposite the Jade Emperor.
At this moment, the two of them have withdrawn their magical powers and cut off the connection with the lower world.
In the entire heaven, except for the old king, the queen mother, and several other great emperors, few ministers could sit down and talk to the Jade Emperor.
Even Taibai Jinxing and Li Tianwang had to stand by and listen to orders.
But Erlang Shen is different. Firstly, he has great abilities and unruly temperament, so he has to be followed. Secondly, he is his nephew, and now that he is back together, he wants to get close to him.
The Jade Emperor finally understood that several famous thorns in the Three Realms all had the same temperament.
If you follow him and be soft, you can discuss anything.
It seems that if you do it forcefully, I'm sorry... One by one, they are all unreasonable masters.
Even the little Golden Crow is like this. Ever since Yang Jian made trouble in the Heavenly Palace and retreated from the weak water, he has been living alone on the Sun Star, neither going to the Lingxiao Palace to pay homage, nor coming to the Yaochi.
Now he even worships the Great Sun Tathagata. Although he has not entered Buddhism and only learned some innate magical powers of the Three-legged Golden Crow, the Jade Emperor is not always so happy in his heart.
"The eucalyptus in Fengxian County can be a model." The Jade Emperor said to Yang Jian, "The laws of heaven cannot be violated, but all living beings also need to be protected... But there are some things you can do. I can only pretend not to know, but once If you need me to intervene, you must prepare for the worst... Do you know why?"
Yang Jian thought for a while and said: "Because I am responsible to His Majesty, and Your Majesty is in direct communication with Heaven, I have a lot of leeway in doing things, but Your Majesty... can only deal with it in accordance with the rules."
"This is exactly the reason." The Jade Emperor explained again, "So when you used the rules of heaven to suppress your mother under the Taoshan Mountain, it was the maximum I could do... In fact, as long as she sincerely admitted her mistake, I would also It may not be that we can't tolerate it, but at that time because your father and your eldest brother died, her mind was already messed up... She just wanted to die."
Yang Jian didn't say anything. The grudges from back then were settled. No matter what, his parents were still alive and there would always be a day of reunion.
In addition, the Jade Emperor now trusts him so much, which makes Yang Jian a little uncomfortable... Although he knows that the Nine Golden Crows killed by him are not the Jade Emperor's biological sons, it is a cause and effect after all.
Yang Jian even discovered that...the softer the Jade Emperor was to him, the less tough he became in front of him.
He could no longer say the words like "throwing the things rewarded by the Jade Emperor into the smelly ditch" like before.
And the Jade Emperor didn't know whether he didn't care or simply forgot about it. After his nephew and uncle reconciled, he never mentioned it in front of Yang Jian.
The Jade Emperor didn't say anything, and with Yang Jian's temperament, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to ask... The matter was left alone.
The longer Yang Jian spent doing errands in Heaven, the more he realized what the way of heaven and the rules of heaven manifested in heaven meant to the entire three realms.
The sage said that heaven and earth are not benevolent and regard all things as stupid dogs.
All living beings in the three realms are truly equal to the way of heaven. They all have their own way and act according to their own laws.
The purpose of the heavenly rules is to maintain the stability of the three realms.
"Every time I read through the Heaven's Rules, I always gain new insights. Even every time I break a piece of eucalyptus, I unconsciously correspond to the Heaven's Rules... At present, there are not many things that can be changed." Since Yang Jian took over this job, he was full of confidence and motivation at the beginning, and now he is one head and two heads away——
Sometimes he even murmured in his heart, thinking that the Jade Emperor was messing things up and asking him to come to heaven to help.
"You might as well talk about it carefully."
"Generally speaking, the restrictions imposed by heavenly rules are reasonable. Because those behaviors will most likely cause turmoil in the three realms, which will in turn bring great disaster to all living beings in the three realms, but..."
"Just what?" The Jade Emperor smiled: "It's just that it will inevitably harm innocent people? Hurt lovers?"
"Your Majesty, why do you need to make fun of me?" Yang Jian sighed and said, "Back then, a mortal didn't know the responsibilities of gods. But now, as the judicial god of the three realms, I know the heavy responsibilities on my shoulders... The reason why gods are gods is not because of their powerful magic power. But because of the responsibility of being a god... Immortals can be free and easy, but gods must bear the consequences. Otherwise, what kind of gods would we be? Even if there are some mistakes, I am afraid that I will let down the incense and worship of all living beings."
"The little god has been thinking about it for a long time and has some ideas in mind." Since Yang Jian took on this task, he must do it and do it well, so he never slacked off.
"tell me the story."
"Although the rules of heaven are grand, they are general after all and are often just a summary. What the little god means is... can we use the rules of heaven as the general constitution and then make specific laws to supplement it... For example, the laws of God , the law against immortals, the law against demons and ghosts, the law against the Buddhist realm of Xizhou... can they be written in separate and specific terms? Another example is to make detailed comments on individual clauses, such as: the article about immortals moving mortal hearts, and Fengxian County The crime of disrespecting God by a prince cannot be generalized. Whether it can be judged separately depends on the circumstances..."
Yang Jian still has a lot to say in his heart, but——
Boom!
Born to thunder.
The Jade Emperor looked into the depths of heaven, then looked at Yang Jian, and said seriously: "This is a business you took on yourself."
Yang Jian:...
The fairy world emphasizes cause and effect, and things that often involve the way of heaven can be said to be true to your word.
Therefore, as soon as Yang Jian's son Yaochi opened his mouth, he already had a feeling.
"I just had an idea." Yang Jian spread his hands, looked at the Jade Emperor with some confusion, and asked, "Why does it seem like Heaven can't wait any longer?"
The Jade Emperor was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "The way of heaven came into being when the great god Pangu opened the sky, and it has been countless years... However, there are gaps in the way of heaven, and humans and gods can make up for it. Maybe he has been waiting for your words, and he has been looking forward to it. That’s it.”
"Order." The Jade Emperor's expression became more and more serious, "Another manifestation of the way of heaven is order, and if you can complete it this time, it will be a great merit. But have you ever thought about it, with today's rules of heaven? , when you are the god of justice, you are much more flexible, but if all kinds of laws are written down, even you and me, if something like your mother happens, it will be difficult to find a way out..."
"Mistakes will be punished." Yang Jian also gave his own response: "So when setting laws and regulations, you must be cautious... You may find a place to try it out to see the effects. If it is really feasible, then officially promulgate it. "
"You are very thoughtful." The Jade Emperor nodded, "If this were not the case, otherwise when the regulations were promulgated, even if there were some loopholes, it would be in vain without saying it was wrong."
"This is not easy to do."
The Jade Emperor looked at Yang Jian.
Erlang Zhenjun stood up from his seat and said loudly: "Since Yang Jian has been practicing, the most indispensable thing is perseverance and determination. Fortunately, he has achieved success and has seen countless longevity. It is time to do something useful. Since this matter The one who is doing good to heaven and the other is benefiting all sentient beings...Yang Jian is duty-bound."
The Jade Emperor looked at Yang Jian and said in his heart: Regardless of perseverance and determination, what I really admire is your duty-bound responsibility.
Not to mention the gods in heaven, even I feel ashamed when I see it.
There is Tang Sanzang in Buddhism; there is Yang Erlang in Heaven... What will these three realms be like in the future, the Jade Emperor is also looking forward to it.
"It's just..." Yang Jian paused as he said, "This matter is difficult. Yang Jian is short-term and needs help from some colleagues. After it is written, it will be shared by His Majesty and the other six emperors."
"I give you the power to do this. You choose the people, and I give the order."
...
No one knows about the sentient beings in the three realms.
The Jade Emperor and Erlang Zhenjun, who are high above the nine heavens, have already begun to "put shackles" on their heads.
The difficulty of this matter cannot be accomplished overnight, and Yang Jian is also ready to fight a protracted battle... Is he not even as good as Yu Gong?
But he still had a concern in his mind... Yu Gong Moved the Mountain was to remove the mountain that was blocking their heads; and he... it was hard to say that he was not strengthening the existing heavenly rules.
Even now, he still doesn't know whether he is a defender of Tian Tiao or a reformer.
He was going to ask his master for advice. This matter was of great importance. Yang Jian thought that his shoulders were a bit weak and he had to ask a few more people to carry it... Others could not be called on by themselves, and they might not necessarily be of the same mind as him.
Apart from Master Yuding, there are only a few others including King Li Tianwang and Master Sanzang.
As for Nezha and the Great Sage...it would be better not to join in the fun. It would be a disservice to them if they came.
As for others, they can only rely on the Jade Emperor.
After Yaochi, the Jade Emperor saw that Yang Jian had temporarily given him part of the list, and it was indeed a bit tricky.
It's best for King Li Tian to assign it and just give the order.
Master Sanzang has already arrived in Fengxian County, and it is only a blink of an eye before the end of the Buddhist scriptures. Based on his friendship with Yang Jian, he does not need to issue an order himself. As long as Yang Jian invites him, he will definitely not refuse.
The gods in heaven are also easy to talk about, such as Wenquxing Bigan, Leifu Tianzun Wenzhong... hmm?
Why is there still Shen Gongbao?
Taibai Jinxing and Emperor Donghua are also on the list, but Yang Jian has specially marked them. After their reincarnations and tribulations are completed, they will come to the True Lord Temple to report.
Then there are the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea, and Guan Zhong and Xunzi who were practicing in the Fire Cloud Cave...
For people like this, Yang Jian also marked it. If it is not necessary, they do not need to come to the True Lord Temple. They can only follow the laws of their respective dojos.
In addition, demon gods such as Lu Wu of Kunlun Mountain and Bai Ze who lived in seclusion in Beizhou were also invited.
Just looking at these characters gives me a headache. If you bring them together, not to mention your True King's Temple, I'm afraid my Lingxiao Palace will be overthrown.
The Jade Emperor pressed down the list for the time being. This matter will be dealt with slowly. Don't be so impatient, otherwise good things will turn into bad things, and the three worlds will be shaken again.
Just as he was thinking about it, the Jade Emperor suddenly thought and looked toward the back of Lingshan Mountain.
The Buddha who was far away in Lingshan sensed it and looked at him in response.
The Jade Emperor got straight to the point: "Is the entrance to the devil's path still there?"
"It's sealed." The Buddha said in a rare complaining tone: "He sealed it after His Majesty came here last time, and even added seals inside."
"Then why are you still sitting here?" After the Jade Emperor said this, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Jiuyou again.
The Buddha was stunned for a moment, and reluctantly stood up from the golden lotus. Then he looked at the golden lotus where he had been sitting for a long time. Then he walked away and sat in the middle of the main hall of the Great Leiyin Temple. .
When the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats saw the Buddha returning to his throne, they immediately clasped their hands and said, "Namo Amitabha."
It's a welcome welcome.
The Buddha was sitting on the lotus platform in the Mahavira Hall, thinking: If the great sage of the demon world is not born, how will I be reincarnated?
I have to find a way to get him out...
Let’s talk about under the Nine Nethers.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also stood up and moved away from the lotus platform, allowing the Jade Emperor to clearly see the situation under the lotus platform. The place where the cracks in the demon world originally appeared were now as smooth as before, with no trace of any cracks.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva still said one more thing to the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, the great sage of the demon world..."
But the Jade Emperor didn't let him finish, and interrupted: "If you see him again, you might as well ask him to come see me."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva clasped his hands together, performed a Buddhist salute, and said, "Young monk, I understand."
It is true that there are not many people in the Three Realms who can call Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva a minor monk, but this Jade Emperor definitely deserves it.
After the Jade Emperor's eyes left, Di Ting heard the words in his master's heart: The young monk must also be able to see him.
Yaochi.
The Queen Mother waited for Yang Jian to leave, then came out of the back hall, walked to the Jade Emperor and sat down. Seeing that he was wandering around the three realms, she did not disturb him. After the Jade Emperor came to his senses, she said: "Your Majesty, Fairy Guanghan and Lord Taiyin Xing sent someone to report that there was some unusual movement at Yue Gui, but it was quickly calmed down."
"Then please trouble me to go there on my behalf."
The Queen Mother nodded and rode away on the phoenix.
Walking above the moon, Fairy Guanghan and Lord Taiyin met. Fairy Guanghan was Chang'e flying to the moon, and Lord Taiyin was Queen Jiang of the Shang Dynasty.
】
Human legends only say that Guanghan Palace is cold and cold, but in fact there are many creatures on Taiyin.
In fact, in addition to these two gods, there is also a god on Taiyin, called "Huang Huasu Yaoyuan Jingshou Queen Taiyin Yuanjun", but this god's seat has always been empty, and Fairy Guanghan usually takes over.
"Xiaoxian (little god), I have met the empress."
Fairy Guanghan and Taiyin Xing saluted the Queen Mother in unison. Since the Queen Mother of the West lived in seclusion in West Kunlun, all the female fairies in the three realms have been headed by the Queen Mother.
"Go under the laurel."
"yes."
Fairy Guanghan and Taiyinxing were the first to notice the strange phenomenon here, but their magic power was limited. If there really was a problem with Yuegui, they couldn't solve it.
It was rumored that this laurel was transformed from Pangu's eyelashes, and it was the only one in the entire Three Realms... It was so important that I went to report it to the Queen Mother.
"It's the breath of the demon world." The Queen Mother sensed it for a while, then counted it with her fingers, and then she knew the difference, and said to the two of them: "These days, you need to pay close attention to the movement here, and if there is anything abnormal, report it in time. "
After the Queen Mother returned to Yaochi, she said to the Jade Emperor: "It should be that the crack in the demon world opened under the laurel. Firstly, it was blocked by its roots. Secondly... the great sage of the demon world immediately took action to seal it and did not let it go. Once the cracks have fully opened, they have been smoothed over.”
The Jade Emperor felt quite regretful after hearing this and said: "He is too cautious and not as arrogant as ordinary demons."
The Queen Mother looked at the Jade Emperor with her phoenix eyes for a long time, as if to say: Then who frightened him into being like this?
