The reason why Qi Zhen didn't think that the other party was Taishang Laojun at the first time was mainly because the other party was far different from Yuanshi Tianzun's immortal style, and the other party's Laojun Palace looked too special from the outside. It's a bit shabby, and it doesn't look like what a Taoist Sanqing residence should look like. Although Qi Zhen has never seen how majestic the Lingxiao Palace is, she has seen the Nezha family, and she was so amazed when she first saw the Yunlou Palace. Qi Zhen can still recall it, but how come she has returned to nature more and more after getting this pure fairyland?
However, Laojun's approachable appearance really made Qi Zhen quite fond of him when she first met him. It was different from the feelings given to him by Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Cult Master, and he believed in him from the bottom of his heart.
Qi Zhen called out Zhang Qi and bowed respectfully to the Supreme Lord. The Supreme Lord smiled and stroked his beard and accepted the gift generously.
He can be regarded as a life-saving grace for Qi and Zhen. No matter in terms of age or kindness, he deserves such a gift.
Taishang Laojun did not pretend to be reserved or polite. Instead, Qi Zhen felt that he was sincere and she liked him even more.
No, no!
Only when Qi Zhen stood up did she realize that the other party was secretly happy.
The villain succeeds?
As soon as these four words entered Qi Zhen's mind, he threw them out without hesitation. He was the Taoist ancestor, how could he have such emotions.
Zhang Qi was more straightforward. Seeing that Lao Jun's smile was all squeezed together, he said, "Why do you smile so sinisterly?"
"Nonsense." Qi Zhen and Taishang Laojun said in unison.
"Oh, you don't know. In this Laojun Palace and that Tusita Palace, no one or two, whether they are alchemists or livestock keepers, look respectful. I haven't been polite to others for a long time." Taishang Lao Jun said pretending to be serious.
Good guy, it seems that Laojun is habitually approachable.
But with his status, how could he really look like an ordinary old man?
Qi Zhen didn't ask, Zhang Qi stuck out his tongue and didn't ask again.
"You two come in and sit down?" Laojun pointed to the Laojun Hall behind him.
"Sorry to bother you."
Qi Zhen was not ambiguous, she just went in and walked towards it.
Zhang Qi followed closely behind.
Taishang Laojun did not expect Qi Zhen to be so decisive. His face was slightly stunned and then a smile spread, but he looked at Qi Zhen even more.
The three of them stepped into the door, but the surrounding scenery changed drastically.
The pavilions and pavilions in Laojun's palace were filled with birds chirping and flowers fragrant. Qi Zhen even saw two rockeries and waterfalls. Where could they be as shabby as those seen outside the courtyard?
After thinking about it for a while, Qi Zhen realized that this was probably similar to the Buddhist mustard seed and sumeru technique, and the appearance was just to deceive others.
Qi and Zhen followed Laojun through the corridor and finally stopped in front of a house. Laojun did not enter the house, but walked to the stone table in the yard and sat down directly.
Qi and Zhen sat in front of him.
"What do you think of Heaven?" Laojun's greetings had no technical content, and Qi Zhen couldn't hear the sharpness of the Buddha.
"Heaven is much bigger than Lingshan, and the gods have a lot more thoughts." Qi Zhen said directly, but she had something to say and was not afraid to get straight to the point.
Perhaps in his opinion, there is no need to worry about saying anything wrong when facing this Supreme Lord.
Lao Jun nodded and said, "What you said is true. Do you know why?"
"Maybe it's because the composition of the gods is a bit complicated?" Qi Zhen said uncertainly.
"Then why are the ingredients complicated?" Laojun asked again.
"There are too many people who want to become immortals?" Qi Zhen was still unsure.
"There are indeed many people who want to become immortals, but there are even more people who don't want to become immortals." Laojun waved his hand and said, "I think the third prince must have told you some things about heaven."
The two of them nodded.
"He only knows what it is and doesn't know why." Laojun said with a smile.
Qi Zhen and Zhang Qi listened attentively.
"When the heaven and the earth were first divided, all things had animism. There was Pangu who created the heaven and earth, there was Nuwa who mended the sky, there was Houyi who shot the sun, and there was Kuafu who chased the sun..." Laojun said, "My master, Taoist Hongjun, established the Heavenly Court for the purpose of letting people All things are in their own way and perform their duties.”
"Mortals are not strong enough, let alone birds and beasts. Therefore, if there are too many strong people in the world, bullying of the weak will inevitably occur."
"So letting the more powerful gods unified jurisdiction, establish order in heaven, and maintain the stability of the three realms is the best method that my mentor came up with."
"Those who are powerful in the human world can cultivate and become immortals. Those who do not want to become immortals can be made gods by the list of gods. Generally speaking, the balance of power in the three realms must be maintained, and at least the human world can be protected from turmoil."
"The fundamental teaching of Taoism is to rule by inaction. Inaction will naturally cause no trouble, and the human world can develop with peace of mind. This can also restrain the gods in the sky. You cannot rely on your strength to suppress others with force."
"To this day, although there are still some discords, the restless spiritual energy between heaven and earth has become much less and has become peaceful. Those who have become monsters, immortals, and lonely ghosts in the world are becoming increasingly rare. Punishment enters the path of spiritual practice."
"As for what you see, it's just the impact of this big goal."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Zhen felt that her body and mind were extremely clear. Many things that she had not been able to see clearly and understand before seemed to make sense.
"So the fight between Jie Jiao and Chan Jiao is also like this?" Zhang Qi was speechless, wondering which pot he would not open or lift.
"The leader and Yuan Yuan, including Lingbao Tianzun who you haven't met yet, these senior brothers have different understandings of the Dao." Laojun said, "Brother Yuan Yuan follows the master's idea and believes that the three realms are the most stable form. Therefore, those who can become immortals will become immortals on their own, while those with insufficient qualifications or poor talents are destined to do so. Therefore, they cannot assist in their practice, and they are in vain to modify the way of heaven. The leader is completely the opposite. He believes that the end of the way of heaven must be for everyone to achieve enlightenment. Everyone is qualified to practice Taoism and become an immortal. The so-called three disasters and nine tribulations, or the beating of the divine whip, are all tests of the great road. However, there is always a glimmer of hope for Tianyan 49. The current state of the human world is just a transitional period. This is obvious. It is different from the Master's teachings, so it is not among the Three Pure Ones. However, the Master still left a way for him according to his ideas. After all, in our realm, it is indeed difficult to determine how the Great Dao will evolve. What if the leader is right? As for Lingbao Tianzun, he is usually carefree. I have never seen him. He takes a different path from us. According to the words of your world, true knowledge comes from practice. He He has taken on thousands of incarnations, adapting to circumstances and acting according to his feelings, all he seeks is God’s will, even if he is already a part of God’s will.”
Lao Jun smiled and continued: "The person you are most likely to encounter in the human world is this Lingbao Tianzun. Maybe he has already seen you, but you don't know it."
Sure enough, Taishang Laojun also saw at a glance that everyone in the team was not from this world. At the same time, he also gave Qi Zhen a higher perspective to look at the problem.
"Then which faction do you belong to?" Qi Zhen asked.
"I..." Taishang Laojun thought for a while, "I belong to the collective."
"I wholeheartedly agree with the ideas of Master and Original Senior Brother, and I also feel that there is nothing wrong with what the leader said. I also feel that I should personally see the evolution of the mortal world. But in comparison, I feel that doing nothing may be the best solution. That's right." Laojun said, "After all, if you don't do anything, there won't be any of the following things."
"The same is true for the two religions of Chanjie, and the same is true for Eastern and Western religions." Laojun continued, "The Jade Emperor was very worried that the arrival of Buddhism would cause the master or Taoist sect to deviate from the path originally designed, but he did not want to compete with Buddhism. In this world, please don’t misunderstand me.”
"But life will find a way out." Qi Zhen said.
I can say this because Qi Zhen grew up studying Darwin's theory of evolution and the evolution of the earth. She knows that no matter which mass extinction of life occurs, life has never truly disappeared from this blue planet.
Even though this is an unquestionable game world, Qi Zhen still doesn't feel that leaving the gods and monsters or all being gods and monsters will have much impact on the world itself.
When Laojun heard this, he was startled. He looked Qi Zhen up and down a few times. Finally, he nodded approvingly and said, "That's right. Your thoughts are similar to mine."
He chuckled and continued: "I am not alone in my ways, good thing, good thing. If you hadn't left sooner or later, I would have really wanted to accept you as my disciple."
Qi Zhen scratched her head, wondering why the other party reacted so strongly to her words.
"You two, please stay with me for a while. I'll let you leave after I finish talking to the Jade Emperor about your affairs, okay?" Laojun said.
"Our friend..." Qi Zhen hesitated.
"Don't worry, those dolls are fine. Instead, they have their own opportunities. You can feel at ease here. Whether it's resting or practicing, when the time comes, you will meet again." Laojun said with a smile.
Qi Zhen nodded and agreed.
There seems to be nothing we can do if we don't agree. If Taishang Laojun is really determined not to let them leave, can they really leave?
At this time, on the other side of the heaven, near the end of the heaven, a jet was flying at high speed, leaving a long white trail behind it, like a wisp of clouds.
The boundless heaven has four gates and has no end. In other words, this is the only place in the heaven that can be called the end.
The white trail was followed by a small black dot, which was getting closer and closer to the aircraft.
That was a person. It was hard to imagine how a person could be faster than a plane, but it seemed not surprising that he was one of the four marshals in heaven, Marshal Wen Qiong, who had become a saint in the flesh.
It has been many years since he suffered such an injury. Wen Qiong's face was full of anger. No matter what today, he vowed to make those two evil heretic young people pay the price!
