I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 76: Laojun teaches how to divide the elixir, and the two emperors talk about the calamity

Taishang Laojun wore a Taiqing fish-tail crown and an Bagua purple-gold robe. He had a kind face, like an old man at home. He came to the outside of the alchemy room with a whisk in his hand.

Looking at the alchemy room filled with black smoke, Taishang Laojun hurriedly said to the immortal children, immortal generals, immortal officials, and immortal clerks behind him: "Quick, go in and put out the fire and save the elixir."

"Yes." Everyone accepted the order and rushed into the alchemy room quickly.

At this time, Zhuang Yan and Nezha immediately stepped forward to greet him and said, "Greetings to the Lord Lao."

Taishang Laojun looked at the two and asked, "Why are you two in my Tushita Palace? Who did this?"

"That monkey did it." Nezha said immediately, "That monkey made a scene at the Peach Banquet and escaped from the Yaotai. The two of us chased him here, but he rushed into the alchemy room and stole all your elixirs. When we arrived, it was too late. He used his transformation skills to stop us and blew out the alchemy furnace, which led to this."

As Nezha finished speaking, a fairy boy ran out with an anxious look on his face, shouting, "Master, it's bad. All the golden elixirs in the alchemy room are gone."

"What?!" Taishang Laojun's face was suddenly filled with heartache, "My golden elixir!"

The distressed Taishang Laojun immediately looked at Zhuang Yan and Nezha, then waved his whisk, pointed at the "Qingjing Pavilion" not far away and said to Zhuang Yan: "Lingtai Mansion Lord, come with me."

"Yes." Zhuang Yan responded, then followed.

At this moment, Nezha suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhuang Yan's clothes. Zhuang Yan turned around, blinked at Nezha, and gave him a reassuring look.

Seeing Zhuang Yan's figure disappear in the attic, Nezha was still a little nervous, after all, he was Taishang Laojun.

As Taishang Laojun entered Qingjing Pavilion, Zhuang Yan raised his sleeve and waved it without waiting for Taishang Laojun to turn around.

There was a flash of colorful fairy light, and the sixty-six gourds he had collected earlier all appeared neatly on a gold-painted Eight Immortals table in front of him.

Taishang Laojun turned around and took a look. He immediately raised his finger and pointed at Zhuang Yan and said with a smile: "Boy, you are really quick to act."

After saying this, he glanced at the table and continued, "So the monkey only ate the golden elixirs in the five gourds next to the alchemy furnace?"

Zhuang Yan replied: "Yes, I have collected the rest and am now returning them to Laojun in full." This was also the reason why he snatched the elixir from Nezha.

Taishang Laojun nodded, then stepped forward and divided the sixty-six gourds into two categories, forty-nine on the left and seventeen on the right.

Then, Taishang Laojun pointed to the forty-nine gourds on the left and said, "You can keep these for yourself, but some of the pills are useless to you. You need to identify them yourself. The Huiyuan Jingxin Method I gave you is a neutral method that will not conflict with anything. You have no taboos about all the elixirs and can take them directly. The only difference is whether they are useful or not."

After saying that, Taishang Laojun pointed to the seventeen on the right and said, "You can give these to Nezha. He has a lotus root body, and these pills will be useful to him. But he is like that monkey. After taking the golden pill, a large part of the medicinal power will accumulate in his body and cannot be refined. He will have to be refined in my Bagua furnace in the future."

At this point, Taishang Laojun looked at Zhuang Yan and smiled, "Can you refine the power of the golden elixir yourself?"

Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "Okay."

"I knew you could do it." Taishang Laojun smiled slightly, then pointed at the golden elixirs in front of him with his whisk and said, "Okay, remember the categories I classified you into, and collect them all."

Zhuang Yan asked in surprise: "Don't you keep a few gourds?"

Taishang Laojun waved his hand and said, "It would be troublesome for me to keep them. You can take them all. They are more useful to you than to me. If you have disciples, followers, and mounts in the future, these golden elixirs will be useful to you."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yan immediately raised his hand and put all the gourds back into the infinite space, then he bowed to Taishang Laojun and said, "Thank you very much, Laojun."

"Don't thank me." Taishang Laojun said with a smile: "Thank the monkey instead. He has to bear the blame."

Zhuang Yan nodded, then he said goodbye to Laojun and left Qingjing Pavilion. After he came out, Nezha immediately came forward and asked, "How is it?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "I passed."

"That's great!" Nezha clapped his hands excitedly.

Zhuang Yan added, "The old master wants you to come in."

Upon hearing this, Nezha immediately stopped smiling and walked into Qingjing Pavilion with a serious face.

Soon, Nezha followed Taishang Laojun out. As they walked, Nezha kept complaining, "Laojun, how could you doubt us? Would we be the kind of people who would steal your elixir?"

The Supreme Lord said, "Besides the monkeys, you are the only ones who have been here. Of course I have to search."

"Humph." Nezha snorted coldly, "We are being taken for granted. We helped you catch the monkey, but you suspected us of stealing your elixir."

Taishang Laojun pointed at the alchemy room and said, "Help me catch the monkey. How did the alchemy room get damaged?"

Nezha's face changed and he said, "Since we are catching a monkey, of course we have to show our Dharma form."

Taishang Laojun hurriedly grabbed Nezha's arm and said, "Great, so it was you who destroyed my alchemy room. Hurry up and compensate me, or I will sue you to the Jade Emperor." Nezha's expression also changed slightly, and he said, "Laojun, you don't care that your elixir was stolen, but you care about who destroyed your alchemy room?"

Hearing this, Taishang Laojun cried out, "Yes, I have so many elixirs, I must report them to the Jade Emperor."

After saying this, Taishang Laojun rode on a cloud and flew out of the Tushita Palace.

Seeing Taishang Laojun leaving, Nezha and Zhuang Yan also flew out of the Tushita Palace and came to an uninhabited place.

"Hurry, hurry, divide the pills." Nezha urged anxiously.

Zhuang Yan took out all the 17 gourds and gave them to Nezha. Nezha was very dissatisfied when he saw them: "There are so many gourds, why only give me 17? No, you take out all the gourds and we will split them equally."

After saying that, Nezha began to search Zhuang Yan's body.

Zhuang Yan dodged and said with a smile: "I won't hide it from you. I have twenty here, and I'll give you seventeen, which is considered an even split. Look at your seventeen gourds, they are all good pills."

Hearing this, Nezha took a closer look at the gourds in his hand, and saw that there were ten gourds of "Bi Lotus Purple Gold Pill" alone, which was the golden pill that would benefit him the most.

The other seven gourds also contain some famous elixirs, and they are all top-grade golden elixirs.

Nezha then said with satisfaction: "Okay, I believe you." After that, he put away the seventeen gourds in his hand.

He kept talking about so many gourds, but he himself had no idea how many there were.

Then Nezha said, "Such a big thing has happened. The Jade Emperor will definitely not let it go easily this time. He will probably mobilize a large army to suppress the demon monkey. Let's go, let's go to the Lingxiao Palace and wait for orders."

After saying that, the two of them went straight to the Lingxiao Palace.

But in the Zhongyuan Hall of the Ziwei Palace in Daluo Heaven, the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole of the Central Sky was discussing the affairs of the immortals in the Three Realms with the Jade Pure True King and the Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole.

I only heard the Southern Great Emperor say: "In the Three Realms, the accumulation of disasters has become very serious. If it continues like this, within a hundred years, a great disaster will surely befall the world."

Emperor Ziwei said: "This is because there are too many people avoiding disasters, so the disasters cannot be brought down. They accumulate one after another, and this is the result. The Buddha-Demon Great Disaster of Buddhism is like this."

At this point, Emperor Ziwei said to Emperor Nanji: "We need to let those immortals who are supposed to face the calamity face it as soon as possible to eliminate the accumulated calamities in the present world."

The Southern Great Emperor said: "This is easier said than done. I have submitted the names of those great gods and immortals who will be calamities to the Jade Emperor, but the Jade Emperor has not responded yet."

Upon hearing this, Ziwei Emperor said helplessly, "Those gods are great virtues in the Three Realms and have made great contributions to the Heavenly Court. As long as they have not violated the Heavenly Law, the Great Heavenly Venerable is merciful and will not let them face the calamity."

To put it simply, the conversation between Ziwei Emperor and Nanji Emperor means that there are a large number of great gods and immortals who have increasing karma, and their destiny has arrived, and they should have been "reincarnated" long ago, but they are reluctant to give up their current honorable positions and fame and fortune?

So they have been avoiding disasters under the protection of the Heavenly Palace. They should have died millions of years ago, but they have survived until now by avoiding disasters. They have become a burden to the three realms.

But these people had contributed to the Heavenly Court and served the Great Celestial Lord after all. Even though their fate had come, they had not violated the Heavenly Laws and had done nothing wrong. The Great Celestial Lord could not do anything to force them to face the calamity.

Therefore, as long as the Great Celestial Venerable does not allow it, the Antarctic Emperor cannot bring about the calamity, and these people can continue to avoid the calamity and prolong their lives.

At this point, the Southern Emperor said, "The Peach Festival will be held soon. After the Peach Festival, it will be the 'Golden Elixir Festival' of the Supreme Lord Lao. If these people are given the Golden Elixir of the Supreme Lord Lao, they will be able to avoid disasters and prolong their lives."

Taishang Laojun's Golden Elixir Meeting is a meeting where the Jade Emperor rewards the gods and ministers. All gods who have reached a certain level of rank and status will be invited to participate.

At the Golden Elixir Conference, the Jade Emperor would reward everyone with the golden elixir that could "avoid disasters and prolong life." This has never changed since the founding of Heaven.

Therefore, the great gods and immortals mentioned by Ziwei Emperor and Nanji Emperor have existed since the establishment of Heaven. These people have lived for so many years, and no one knows how much cause and effect, and karma, they have accumulated.

By then, one small move will affect the entire body. If this continues, a great catastrophe will surely befall the Three Realms, affecting countless people and causing great suffering to all.

Just when the Purple Star Emperor and the Southern Great Emperor were frowning, suddenly a fairy official from the Purple Star Palace came to report: "Your Majesty, just now the envoy from the Taixuan Province came to report that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven stole the peaches from the Queen Mother, disrupted the Peach Festival, broke into the Tushita Palace, stole all the golden elixirs refined by the Supreme Lord Lao, and then rebelled against the world."

Hearing this, Emperor Ziwei and Emperor Nanji were startled at first, then suddenly reacted. The two looked at each other, and then Emperor Ziwei waved his hand and said, "Got it, leave."

"Yes." The immortal official nodded and then retreated.

Then Ziwei Emperor smiled and said, "The Great Celestial Lord is still wise."

The Southern Emperor also laughed and said, "Perhaps this was Laojun's idea."

Afterwards, the two emperors concentrated on drinking tea, no longer worrying about the accumulation of disasters in heaven and earth.
