The Jade Emperor thought about Chang'e's reminder, but the truth of witchcraft was too big, and he did not dare to make a decision alone.
After much deliberation, I could only condescend to go to Tushita Palace to discuss this method with Taishang Laojun.
The reason why it is said to be condescending is because Taishang Laojun is his subject.
It’s just that if he doesn’t go there in person, others won’t be able to invite Taishang Laojun, who has announced the retreat, and they can’t let Taishang Laojun go see him.
Only when he visited in person and refused to leave, Taishang Laojun had to open the door to see him in accordance with the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.
…
Tushita Palace.
The Jade Emperor called the door, but the boy didn't dare to open the door, but he didn't dare to say anything to dismiss him, so he hurriedly went to find the Supreme Lord.
Lao Jun counted his fingers and frowned immediately.
The witch was actually involved.
If witchcraft becomes a reality, Taoism will decline even more.
But if you don't agree to the Jade Emperor, then the Taoist sect is willing to watch the separation of the three realms, and this huge cause and effect will fall on the Taoist sect.
Now everything has not become a certainty, and the consequences are really difficult to imagine, but it is certain that the Taoist sect will decline for a long time in the future.
Because the Taoist gate is inactive, if you don't do anything, you can't advance, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.
There are disasters at both ends. Which one is more harmful and which one is smaller? The number of days has not yet been determined, and he doesn't know now.
Laojun has a headache, so just leave the matter to me and Lao Tzu and let everyone have a headache together. No, let's move our brains.
I don't speak, and I can't figure out which side to choose.
"My lord, please give me a shout. Which one do you choose? You are the great master of Taoism!"
"Tao, Wuwei!"
"If you say it, you haven't said it yet. But if you do nothing, just pretend you don't do anything. Then let's wait and see what happens."
Taishang Laojun protested seriously, "Hey, hey, hey, you two are hiding, what about me? The Jade Emperor is right outside my Tushita Palace!"
However, Taishang Taoist Master said nothing, so I simply cut off contact.
Taishang Laojun was speechless. He thought about it and asked the boys to tell the Jade Emperor that Tushita Palace was a subordinate of the Heavenly Court, and the Jade Emperor made the final decision.
This is nonsense, but it is also true.
…
After hearing this, the Jade Emperor also understood that no matter what he did, Tushita Palace and Bajing Palace would have no objection if he was allowed to do it.
But on the other hand, Tushita Palace and Bajing Palace did not say anything. Everything was decided by the Jade Emperor, and the cause and effect were all the responsibility of him, the Jade Emperor, who made the final decision and had nothing to do with them.
If there are any bad consequences in the future, he will bear them.
This method of shirking responsibility was not unfamiliar to the Jade Emperor, but now that it had fallen on him, it made him laugh and laugh, and he felt angry for no reason.
Especially when Taishang Laojun refused to see him, he really wanted to rush in, point his nose and ask the sect leader what he was thinking.
But he didn't dare, for fear of causing complications.
Forget it, since Taishang Laojun did not directly object, it is already a good result, and the purpose of this trip has been achieved.
…
"Since I don't object, I know what to do."
The Jade Emperor put down his words and left. The implication is that if you don't say anything, it means you have said it.
In one sentence, Taishang Laojun was caught in the game and shared a share of the cause and effect.
Taishang Laojun was stunned inside, and then he couldn't help but sigh, he was really trapped in a cocoon.
Sure enough, it is better to do nothing. The more you do, the more mistakes you make.
…
The Jade Emperor thought all the way back to Tongming Hall.
Take Taibai Jinxing to announce the Nine Heavens Xuannv, and when she comes, order her to see Empress Houtu.
Jiutian Xuannv was dressed in a mysterious black palace attire, but she was also very handsome and did not mince words when she spoke.
"Your Majesty, may I ask if Xuannv heard correctly? You want me to go to the underworld to meet Empress Dowager Tu?"
"Exactly, after much thought, you are the only one who is most suitable."
"May I ask Your Majesty, what is it that alarms Queen Houtu?"
"Didn't Xuan Nu know? Yamazaki arranged for Ling Haiyang to enter the underworld, and asked Xu Feiniang to take care of him and send him to see Empress Houtu."
"It's true, but so what?"
Jiutian Xuannv looked directly at the Jade Emperor, making the Jade Emperor feel guilty.
"As long as Your Majesty doesn't take the lead in doing anything outrageous, the world will be in peace."
Jiutian Xuannv's outspoken words made the Jade Emperor grit his teeth and clench his fists in anger.
"Your Majesty wants to punish Xuannv for this. Xuannv has nothing to say and is willing to be punished in order to show the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers."
Jiutian Xuannv is aggressive and adopts the method of retreating by advancing.
The Jade Emperor knew it, but he couldn't punish her, otherwise he would lose points in front of his officials again.
You know, Jiutian Xuannv is a great contributor to the creation of humanity, and she is also a veteran in the heaven.
It can even be said that most of the immortals are her descendants. Punishing her for this reason will only chill everyone.
The Jade Emperor endured his anger and said, "Then I dare to ask Xuan Nu how to solve this matter."
"Your Majesty's words are serious, Xuannv does not dare to take them seriously." Jiutian Xuannv bowed her hands and then stood up on her own, "Although Yamazaki has no laws, he is excusable, and Ling Haiyang is an accomplice..."
"Pah!" The Jade Emperor was so angry that he slapped the table.
"Ridiculous! According to what you said, are you going to let them go?"
"That's not necessary. Since Yamazaki claims to be the emperor of heaven, the two countries are at war. This way, there will be no future troubles."
The Jade Emperor was overjoyed, "That's good! That's what I thought."
"But Linghai County in Linghaiyang now belongs to His Majesty. Your Majesty should accept them with great grace to show Your Majesty's benevolence, rather than to control the three realms with fierce power."
"Shut up! Do you still see the rules and power of heaven in your eyes? I benefit the three realms and protect the common people!"
The Nine-Tian Xuannv paid homage, "Please forgive me for speaking frankly. I am afraid that Your Majesty has heard too many praises from his close ministers and thinks that his achievements have reached the three realms. In fact..."
The Jade Emperor was so angry that he waved his sleeves to see the guest off, "Get out of here!"
"Yes, I am resigning!" Jiutian Xuannv saluted, turned around and left.
Before leaving, he gave Taibai Jinxing a hard look, which made him break into a cold sweat.
Taibai Venus has its own misfortunes. Although the Jade Emperor has soft ears and likes to be friendly when doing things, it is a trivial matter.
He is not ambiguous about major matters, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a bit stubborn. There is nothing he can control!
…
The Jade Emperor couldn't please the Nine Heavens Profound Girl, and after much thought, he couldn't find a suitable candidate.
The only one who is qualified to go is the Queen Mother, but it would be more sincere to let her go than to go alone.
So he only knows the underworld, memorizes the incense table, and goes to the underworld in a spiritual way.
…
Although the Jade Emperor was just a clone of Incense and concealed his divine light, he was immediately sensed by Houtu Empress as soon as he entered her territory.
The divine light contained in it was so majestic, lofty, brilliant, and carried the majesty of suppressing heaven and earth. It was like the emperor of heaven had come personally.
The breath was filled with the purest and most yang celestial energy, and it seemed that the Jade Emperor was here in person.
Empress Houtu was greatly surprised and hesitated to treat him with courtesy. Before he could say anything, she invited him in and greeted him at the palace gate in person.
"When the Jade Emperor comes in person, it would be rude for the emperor to welcome him from afar."
