"At this point, the sky is clear and the earth is refreshing, and yin and yang merge. Five thousand and four hundred years later, when the Yin meets, people, beasts, and birds are born. It is called heaven, earth, and man, and the three talents are positioned. Therefore, it is said that people are born in Yin..."
"For ordinary living beings, it is difficult to break through the shackles and cross the Yuanhui. Fellow Taoist, now that you have entered the level of the true spirit, in a few years, when your realm is improved, you will be able to cross this Yuanhui. It’s an indisputable fact. That’s why we congratulate you, fellow Taoist.”
After Xingguang finished explaining, Zhao Lei still looked confused.
What is confusing is not the content of Xingguang's words.
But the attitude of these stars!
From their few words, it is not difficult to see that these stars are the Jade Emperor, Tathagata Buddha, Taishang Laojun and other top figures in Journey to the West.
He originally thought that Journey to the West must be full of conspiracy theories.
So after learning that this was Journey to the West, he had been cautious.
But what's going on now?
Everyone's attitude towards him was as bad as giving him a welcome party.
Is this still the Journey to the West as he understands it?
Zhao Lei felt very uncomfortable when he couldn't think of an answer, so he simply said frankly and honestly: "Wait...wait! What is your attitude towards the mortal world? Also, do you really not mind that there is another true spirit in this world?"
If it were a normal situation, Zhao Lei would definitely not ask so straightforwardly.
But everyone was so enthusiastic.
It doesn't look like fraud at all.
So Zhao Lei simply spread it out.
As soon as I finished speaking, the stars in front of me looked at me one by one, and I looked at you, and then laughed heartily.
"Hahahahahaha! We are too happy to have one more fellow traveler on the journey! Why would we mind?"
"As for the mortal world..."
"Hey, fellow Taoist, you are still young, and you don't understand many things. We have experienced this kind of world too many times. To us, everything in this world is just a passing cloud. At the beginning, maybe we There will still be people in the world who care about the mortal world, but now..."
"Hahahahaha!"
Zhao Lei was immediately dumbfounded!
It’s so outrageous!
He thought all the big bosses were waiting for him to challenge!
Is this the result?
At this time, Zhao Lei suddenly said anxiously: "Then...since you don't plan to manage the mortal world, why do you keep creating the world?"
"Oh? It seems that fellow Taoists also have a certain understanding of us. Sure enough, being able to transform into a true spirit level is somewhat special."
"Fellow Taoist, please calm down and let me explain to you slowly. There is a lot of violent energy in this chaos. They are impacting our souls and bodies all the time. Only by creating a new world and consuming these excessively violent energies can we Only then can we live in peace for a while. Focus our attention on seeking breakthroughs in the Tao."
"Yes, we have tried it countless times. Creating the world and creating three realms is the best solution."
Zhao Lei still had countless questions in his mind and continued to ask: "Then...why do you have to set up a heaven? Why do you have to set up so many heavenly rules? Also, why do you set so many restrictions on the mortal world? Even if it rains? Do you need various regulations?”
Faced with various questions from Zhao Lei.
The Jade Emperor and others were not surprised.
It seemed that Zhao Lei, a 'newcomer', might have expected to ask these questions.
The starlight representing Taishang Laojun said with a kind tone: "Actually, we have tried various methods before this. Some tried to allow the demon clan to develop, and some tried to let all mortals practice together. But regardless of No matter which method is used, it is not as stable as dividing the heaven and earth into three realms."
Another starlight echoed: "Yes, even the rules of heaven are set after countless tests. For example, gods cannot fall in love. You must know that the lifespan of gods is long. If they give birth to descendants, gods will The number of people is likely to increase unabated, and various interests are intertwined. How should we control them?
I vaguely remember one time, because in the later period, there were a large number of immortals, and some immortals united with the gods to rebel against the heaven, which led to the early destruction of the Yuanhui. "
Zhao Lei was very surprised.
He did not expect that this was the reason why heaven did not allow gods to fall in love.
But it’s right to think about it.
According to what some immortal cultivators say, there are only so many resources in the three realms. They are all immortal and live as long as heaven. By then, won't there be more gods than mortals?
Moreover, there are joint and several relationships. This trust relationship requires a position, and that trust relationship requires a position.
Are you still bored to death?
Zhao Lei still said in disbelief: "Then...then...what about rainfall? Why can't the mortal world have good weather all year round? Why should we stipulate that others cannot rain in private?"
At this time, another light point said: "Fellow Taoist, after you have spent a few Yuanhui, I believe you will understand how I feel. Everyone here, who doesn't open and close their eyes? Thousands of years? Who has the leisure to manage the climate of the world every day?
If you, fellow Taoist, are so interested, I wouldn't mind letting you manage us from now on. "
"Hahahahaha!"
"Hahahahaha!"
After the light spot finished speaking, everyone immediately burst into laughter.
Then, he continued: "As for why it is stipulated that private rainfall cannot occur in the mortal world... In fact, this is also related to the reason why one of the Yuanhui died out early.
At the beginning, we also wanted to leave the responsibility of rainfall to the mortal world.
But in that Yuanhui, when the immortals responsible for raining or giving favors have a wrong idea, they bring the beliefs of mortals to cause chaos. Let the mortal world no longer trust immortals. This also led to the early extinction of that Yuanhui. "
Everyone said something to me.
Tell us about the failure cases where Yuan Hui died out prematurely.
Zhao Lei looked confused when he heard this.
He didn't expect these reasons.
Moreover, these reasons are well-founded and do not look like fraud at all.
At the end, Taishang Laojun gave Zhao Lei a summary: "Later, after countless experiments, I finally concluded that the answer is to divide the world into three realms and hand over the three realms to the Jade Emperor's model. Management is the safest solution.
In this way, this world can spend the entire Yuanhui in the most stable way.
I don't have to worry about anything.
After all, among us, the Jade Emperor is the best at management~hahahaha! "
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone laughed again.
Zhao Lei was really speechless.
Unexpectedly, the superior Sanqing, Jade Emperor, etc. would decide the fate of the three realms in such a childish way.
Nothing more than a conspiracy.
People are just bored.
Zhao Lei's thoughts gradually calmed down, and he said in a helpless tone: "What about the Westward Journey? What's going on with the Westward Journey? Why do you want to arrange the Westward Journey?"
At this time, everyone was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Lei would also know about the journey to the west.
But everyone quickly disagreed.
Being able to break through the shackles of the world and cultivate to the level of a true spirit should be something special.
At this time, the Jade Emperor said in a calm tone: "I didn't expect fellow Taoists to know about the journey to the west. That's how it is. We will try to cultivate a fellow traveler at every annual meeting. This Yuanhui will have its turn to be selected by Buddhism. So I just waited. Will arrange the journey to the west. After all, it is very difficult for the creatures born in this world to break through the shackles of heaven and earth. Therefore, a lot of merit is needed.
I just didn't expect that this Yuanhui would have such a surprise as a fellow Taoist. Ha ha ha ha! What a celebration! Maybe there will be two fellow travelers in this Yuan Hui. "
Tathagata Buddha who has never spoken much.
His voice finally sounded: "Amitabha, congratulations to fellow Taoist for being promoted to the level of true spirit. Not long ago, I noticed some strange movements in the mortal world. I don't know if it has something to do with you, fellow Taoist. If so, I am here, First, I would like to say sorry to you, fellow Taoist, on behalf of my disciple.
She is the disciple selected and trained by this Yuan Hui.
My fellow Taoist, your breakthrough to the true spiritual level has nothing to do with merit.
I wonder if you, my friend, can you make it easier for me if I meet her in the mortal world when I am planning my journey to the west? My disciple is Guanyin Bodhisattva. "
Hear this.
Zhao Lei's heart suddenly tightened!
What is merit and virtue that has little to do with oneself?
Although he doesn't need merit, the system needs him to do good deeds to increase his attribute points?
If Guanyin Bodhisattva is left to his own devices, what will happen to his prestige?
Can he still gain attribute points?
Zhao Lei rejected Tathagata Buddha's request almost instantly: "No!"
Everyone was shocked.
What surprised everyone was that Zhao Lei had already broken through to the true spirit level.
No merit is needed.
How could you still reject Tathagata Buddha?
When Zhao Lei saw all the friendly bosses, they were all frightened by his decisive refusal. Even though the big guys all spoke nicely, he didn't dare to offend them all, so he quickly explained: "Fellow Taoists, don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean to block the way.
Please know that I still have many relatives and friends in this world.
The reason why I am where I am today is all because of them.
Besides, I have already vowed to lead people to do good and benefit people all over the world.
My ability to break through the true spirit is probably related to my oath.
If Guanyin Bodhisattva wants to gain merit, he will definitely ignore some human tragedies. If I were to meet him, I really couldn't stand to watch the people suffer in front of me.
I also ask fellow Taoists for your understanding. "
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
It turns out that the reason why Zhao Lei was promoted to the True Spirit was because he had set great ambitions.
No wonder he refused so decisively.
Immediately, everyone looked at the silver light belonging to Tathagata Buddha.
In fact, they don't attach much importance to whether Guanyin Bodhisattva can transcend. After all, even without Zhao Lei, Guanyin Bodhisattva may not be able to succeed.
However, the one who is more difficult is Tathagata Buddha.
This Yuan Hui was obviously the turn of Buddhism, but I never thought that Zhao Lei, Cheng Yaojin, would appear and disrupt all plans.
This is difficult to handle
Tathagata Buddha pondered for a long time: "Fellow Taoist, what do you think of this? Although you have made great aspirations, Taoist friends, merit is not a necessity for Taoist friends. And if I, a disciple, want to obtain merit, it is actually the same as Fellow Taoist, your ambitions are not the same. Let me, fellow Taoist, compete fairly with you. What do you think?"
The meaning of Tathagata Buddha, simply put, is that everyone should do their own good deeds without interfering with each other.
If a native competes with Guanyin Bodhisattva, he will definitely lose.
After all, Guanyin Bodhisattva’s reputation lies there.
There is definitely a celebrity effect.
But Zhao Lei is different.
He is a time traveler.
He knows what are the eighty-one difficulties set by Guanyin Bodhisattva!
Despite all the favorable circumstances, why should we still be afraid of fair competition with Guanyin Bodhisattva? It would be better to buy a piece of tofu and hit him to death.
Under the premise of not offending these big guys for the time being.
Zhao Lei immediately pretended to have a broad-minded attitude: "Good~"
With Zhao Lei's consent, the atmosphere became joyful again.
Just when everyone was about to end this short gathering, Zhao Lei suddenly asked on a whim: "Old man, I wonder what your relationship with the Long Live Fox King is..."
The words just fell.
The reaction of everyone present was once again stunned.
Immediately he burst into laughter.
After laughing for a long time, the silver light belonging to Taishang Laojun said with a little embarrassment: "It's all my fault that I can't bear the loneliness. This Yuanhui got acquainted with a demon fox. Long Live the Fox King is a close relative of this demon fox. No. Do you know why you ask this question?"
Zhao Lei immediately said seriously: "To be honest, I have been living in the area of the Long Live Fox King since I transformed. The Long Live Fox King has taken good care of me. Besides, I am also in love with the Long Live Fox King's daughter. I wonder if you can do it. As a convenience, we can avoid the death of the Long Live Fox King?"
Everyone was stunned at first, and then laughed again.
Not long after, the Jade Emperor spoke: "Fellow Taoist, actually we don't care whether the Long Live Fox King has the same life span as heaven. However, because the Supreme Lord ignores the rules of heaven and always favors the Long Live Fox King clan, the court officials in heaven have already I started to feel dissatisfied.
In order to facilitate management, we have no choice but to make this decision.
If fellow Taoist people want to protect Long Live the Fox King, there is nothing wrong. As long as fellow Taoists are willing to take on this responsibility and are mentally prepared that the gods will come to trouble you, then we will naturally not force the Long Live Fox King to reincarnate again. "
The meaning of Jade Emperor is very simple.
Even if Long Live the Fox King does not die, those gods will not be convinced.
Why can Taishang Laojun ignore the rules of heaven and protect the Fox clan for so many years.
And none of them can do it?
This has created an unmanageable situation.
One bad move will ignite the rebellious hearts of the gods, leading to the early extinction of the Yuanhui.
But if Zhao Lei dares to take on this responsibility, he is not afraid of the trouble that will follow.
The Jade Emperor can easily put the responsibility on Zhao Lei.
If the gods are not convinced, just go to Zhao Lei.
After Zhao Lei heard about it, he immediately agreed without even thinking about it: "Then I'll stay here first and thank you fellow Taoists."
All mysteries solved.
Zhao Lei's knot in his heart was also relieved.
This meeting finally ended perfectly.
Generally speaking, Zhao Lei will face two major problems next.
One, fair competition from Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Second, trouble comes from unconvinced immortals.
After the meeting.
Everyone's consciousness returns to their original nature...
