Mythology: Erlang Shen begins to show his divine power in the heavens

Chapter 188, Erlang goes to heaven, the Jade Emperor's expectations
"This monkey"

Lin Yuan looked at Wukong who had merged into one with his monkey mind.

But I was slightly surprised.

because
This was not what he had expected.

What he wanted was to tame his mind and calm his heart.

It is true that Wukong would become furious because of the evil thoughts of his monkey heart, and finally cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

This was all his preview of this illusion.

however.

Haven't reached the Heavenly Palace yet.

Wukong actually understood some things on his own.

Finally, he directly merged into one with the monkey heart, transforming the monkey heart into a new force.

"But this direction is also very interesting and seems to be more suitable for the development of this system."

"And isn't becoming one with the monkey in my heart the embodiment of the state I'm looking for?"

original.

Lin Yuan’s preview of the Monkey State.

It was Wukong who could no longer suppress his monkey heart.

After fighting his way to the Heavenly Palace, an illusory Taishang Laojun will finally appear and capture him into the Bagua Furnace, where he will be continuously burned to refine his inner monkey.

This was actually Lin Yuan taking the initiative.

Help Wukong to subdue the monkey in his heart.

but now.
However, Wukong directly comprehended some of the true meanings of the Monkey King Realm, and even the true meaning from an angle that Lin Yuan had not expected for the time being.

Made a move that surprised Lin Yuan.

The Supreme Being standing by didn't know the details and sighed:

“I thought that the True Lord’s system was to turn the inner demon into firewood, but I didn’t expect that I would directly merge with the inner demon and actively accept the inner demon.”

"Even though the True Lord's strength is not as good as before, his knowledge is indeed beyond the reach of an old Taoist."

"."

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment.

below.

Wukong felt a little bit of the power coming from the monkey in his heart.

Then he settled the surviving monkeys, said goodbye to them, and went to the heavenly palace.

He also knew that this was an illusion.

The real heavenly palace.

With his ability.

Maybe it’s still difficult to sweep away.

After all, just look at the strength that Taibai Jinxing showed before.

They are all stronger than the Nezha, the Four Heavenly Kings and the giant spirits he had just met.

The real heaven.

The strength of Nezha and other gods.

Aren’t they all worse than an angel old man?
Along the way, he was emitting a dazzling light all over his body. That was the unique aura that came from the perfect fusion of the power of his monkey mind and his own power.

Soon, he arrived at the foot of the South Gate of Heaven.

The towering South Gate of Heaven looks solemn and majestic amidst the clouds and mist. The heavenly soldiers and generals in front of the gate hold weapons in their hands, ready for battle.

Wukong showed no fear at all. He shouted loudly and prepared to force his way through the door.

However, just as he was about to touch the South Gate of Heaven, everything in front of him suddenly began to distort and dissipate, and the surrounding scenes fell like broken mirrors.

In the blink of an eye, Wukong found himself back in that mysterious space.

His heart was full of doubts and resentment. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Lin Yuan not far away.

Lin Yuan looked at Wukong, his eyes full of satisfaction and admiration:

"You have understood the true meaning of the Ape Realm. You don't need to go through the calamity again."

When Wukong heard this, he scratched his head and said with a look of grievance:
"Master, I am still very angry. Can you let me destroy that heavenly palace?"

At this moment, he was like a child eager to vent, and that momentum seemed to be able to break through the heaven and earth.

Lin Yuan shook his head gently, his eyes gentle but revealing unquestionable firmness:
"Go ahead. You have already restrained your mind and become one with your heart. The next step is to reconcile the gold and wood."

He paused slightly and spoke word by word.

"The next realm is the Wood Mother Realm."

After saying that, Lin Yuan waved his hand, and a gentle yet powerful force enveloped Wukong.

Wukong only felt a flash of light before his eyes, and the next second, he returned to the real world.

The moment he returned to reality, Wukong felt a familiar strong pressure coming towards him. Looking up, he saw that it was the irresistible force of Taibai Jinxing pressing down on him.

Not long ago, this force made him feel suffocated, as if he was being pressed down by an invisible mountain and unable to move.

But now, after experiencing the baptism of the Monkey Heart Realm, a new power is surging in his body, and this pressure is nothing more than a breeze in his eyes.

Wukong curled his lips and smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Old man! I am no longer the same as I used to be!"

Before he finished speaking, he clenched his right fist, and there seemed to be a golden flame burning in the palm of his fist. The hair on his body stood up because of this power, flashing a dazzling light.

This punch, packed with his newly comprehended power and an unstoppable momentum, went straight towards Taibai Jinxing.

The wind from the fist whistled, as if it could tear the air apart, making a hissing sound. The surrounding sand and stones were swept up by the wind from the fist, forming a small vortex.

When Taibai Jinxing saw this, his expression instantly became solemn.

He originally thought that this monkey would be as easy to control as before, but he did not expect that in just a moment, the other party would be completely different.

He didn't have time to think, and hurriedly circulated his magical power to erect a transparent spiritual shield in front of him, trying to withstand Wukong's sudden and fierce attack.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, like a bolt from the blue, Wukong's fist hit Taibai Jinxing's shield heavily.

The powerful impact caused the shield to vibrate violently, like a lone boat in a storm, swaying on the verge of collapse, and cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.

Taibai Jinxing only felt a huge force coming at him like a tidal wave, and his feet involuntarily drew two deep grooves on the ground. The whole person was pushed back by this force for several feet.

"Cough cough."

Taibai Jinxing steadied himself, coughed twice, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Looking at the new Wukong in front of him, he couldn't help but feel shocked: What on earth has this monkey experienced? How could his strength change so drastically in such a short time?

Wukong succeeded in his attack, but he was not satisfied.

He moved his wrist, making a "click" sound, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

"Old man, what you just saw was just an appetizer. Next, try something even more powerful from me, Old Sun!"

After saying that, he subconsciously reached out to grab it, but found nothing.

After a slight pause, he remembered that he was in reality.

There are no stick weapons.

"I have to ask Master what that stick is when I get back. It was very handy to use in the illusion."

His figure flashed, like a golden lightning, rushing towards Taibai Jinxing. His fist was fierce and still carried full deterrent power.

Soon.

Taibai Jinxing was beaten by Wukong and ran all over the ground, begging for mercy again and again.

"Don't fight! Don't fight! I'm just a messenger!"

Wukong retracted his fist and landed steadily. He looked at Taibai Jinxing with a proud look, exuding an air of authority that no one else could match, and said loudly:
"Go back and tell the Jade Emperor to take good care of this world. If he is unwilling to take care of the people, then he should give up his position!"

When Taibai Jinxing heard this, the smile on his face froze instantly, his expression changed drastically, his eyes were full of fear, and he quickly waved his hands and said:
"You can't say that! This is extremely treasonous. How dare you, a monkey, say such outrageous things!"

Wukong, however, didn't care. He took a step forward, his spiritual energy surged, stirring up a cloud of dust, and said in a loud voice:
"Why can't I say it? The old Jade Emperor is high up in heaven all day, enjoying the splendor and wealth of heaven, but he has no idea what kind of suffering the people on earth are going through.

He only has the title of Heavenly Emperor, but he doesn't fulfill his duty to protect the common people. Shouldn't he let a more suitable person take this position? ! My master is a hundred times stronger than him and is more suitable to lead the three realms!"

Taibai Jinxing's heart moved, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he asked:

"I wonder who your master is? How could he teach you to be fearless and powerful?"

Taibai Jinxing only heard that Erlang Shen had guided the stone monkey, but he didn't know what happened to the stone monkey afterwards.

Just as Wukong was about to blurt out "My Master"

When the words came to my lips, I suddenly remembered something.

If I reveal my master's true identity, the Heavenly Court will definitely not let it go and may even bring endless troubles to my master.

Thinking of this, his eyes rolled around and he said loudly:
"It is the Tathagata Buddha of the West!"

Upon hearing this, Taibai Jinxing's already frowned brows twisted into a knot, and the expression on his face instantly became extremely strange. He had served in the Heavenly Court for many years and was familiar with the situations of all the gods and immortals. How could he not know that this monkey was talking nonsense?

But in the current situation, he really didn't have the energy to expose Wukong's lies. He just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible and go back to report to the Jade Emperor.

So he nodded helplessly, regardless of his image, and hurriedly turned into a stream of light, flying quickly towards the heaven, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Looking at Taibai Jinxing's departing back, Wukong showed a smug smirk on his face and muttered, "It's not that easy to trick me."

Then he thought of the golden hoop in the illusion.

So he turned around and headed towards Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

He wanted to ask his master how to get the stick!
Taibai Jinxing hurriedly stepped into the Lingxiao Palace, still covered in dust and fatigue from his journey down to the mortal world.

The Jade Emperor sat high on the throne, looking down. Seeing Taibai Jinxing's appearance, he asked:
"Taibai Jinxing, how is your visit to the mortal world? Have you found out anything about Wukong?"

Taibai Jinxing hurriedly knelt on the ground, thinking to himself that if he told the Jade Emperor those outrageous words of Wukong truthfully, the Jade Emperor would probably be furious.

So he considered his words and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, that Wukong is indeed quite shrewd. I talked to him for a long time, but he was very tight-lipped and I didn't get much useful information out of him.

However, since he is the stone monkey born from heaven, and Master Erlang has had contact with him before, maybe Master Erlang knows why he has such strength and behavior now, why not summon Master Erlang to ask him?"

The Jade Emperor heard this and nodded slowly, saying, "If that's the case, then summon True Lord Erlang to the palace immediately."

Then, an imperial decree was issued.

In the square inch mountain.

Lin Yuan, who was talking with Tai Shang, felt something and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Taishang sitting opposite him was also aware of these things. After all, he had an incarnation, Taishang Laojun, in the Lingxiao Palace.

He smiled and said:
"The Jade Emperor doesn't know that you are no longer his nephew. How are you going to face him? Are you going to confront him?"

Lin Yuan shook his head:

"not the right time yet."

immediately.

A flash of light appeared on his body, and another him walked out.

It is his incarnation.

The incarnation arrived at Guanjiangkou in one step, received the will of heaven and earth, and went to heaven.

Incarnate into heaven.

Taibai Jinxing told him the situation.

Arrived near the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor asked:

"Erlang, what do you want to say about that stone monkey?"

Lin Yuan said:
"I taught the stone monkey some methods of swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon, and then I didn't pay much attention to him. I don't know why he became like this now."

The Jade Emperor was silent.

Then, he ordered the other immortals and gods to leave, leaving only him and Erlang Shen to talk alone.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan paused slightly.

I wondered if the Jade Emperor also knew about it?

Tai Shang knew this because he had told Patriarch Bodhi some of his own information, but the Jade Emperor probably had no channels to know some of his information.

Unless the Supreme said it in advance.

But judging from Tai Shang’s previous reaction, this was obviously not the case.

And wait for everyone to leave.

I only heard the Jade Emperor say:
"Erlang, that monkey's master is you, right?"

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, and then said:
"My uncle really has a keen eye."

The Jade Emperor said:
"Why do you train that stone monkey like this?"

Lin Yuan said:
"I'm happy for the moment. He has amazing talent. With a little training, he might become a good fighter."

The Jade Emperor said:
"But the principles you instilled in him seem to be a little off. Didn't you explain to him the order of heaven and earth?"

Lin Yuan was silent.

The Jade Emperor said:
"I don't want to get involved in the matter of the stone monkey. It's just a spiritual creature born and raised by nature. It won't have any influence on me.

But those things you deliberately taught him, are you expressing your dissatisfaction to me?"

Lin Yuan said:
"No, I just wanted to try something."

The Jade Emperor asked:
"What do you want to try? Do you really think that the current order is unreasonable? Do you think that immortals and gods should not allow disasters to occur in the human world? Instead, they should serve the people wholeheartedly?"

Lin Yuan tilted his head slightly, then nodded.

The Jade Emperor said:
"The gods were once human, and so am I. I have gone through many hardships to reach this position, and I have learned many truths, one of which is...
The common people have their own blessings, and the Heavenly Court only needs to maintain the most basic order and try to keep the world stable."

He added meaningfully:

"Erlang, you don't know the deep reasons behind many things. I know that letting the people live and work in peace and contentment is the only way to be compassionate.

But if this is the case, the pressure on the order of this world will only accumulate more and more, and the catastrophe that covers the entire world will come faster.

Only when everything develops naturally and orderly, as it does now, and when things need to be dredged, they are dredged, and when things need to be blocked, can order be stabilized for a longer period of time.”

Hear this.

Lin Yuan roughly guessed what the so-called natural order of this world was.

According to what Patriarch Bodhi said in the past.

Each Yuanhui, which is equal to 129,600 years, will experience four kalpas in total.

They are respectively creation, existence, destruction and emptiness.

The bad catastrophe will eventually come, until it finally returns to emptiness.

Then a new creator will be appointed to create the world.

In order to delay the arrival of disaster as much as possible.

Countless years.

The Jade Emperor and his people may have figured out a system.

That is, just like now, the heavenly court governs by laissez-faire, the immortals and gods only take care of their own duties, maintain the natural order, and do not interfere much in the affairs of the human world.

therefore.

It’s not that the gods don’t want to be merciful and save the world.

But they can't.

If there is a human dynasty, it will always be prosperous.

All people in the world are developing safely.

That would gradually bring unbearable pressure to heaven and earth.

Then the bad disaster will come early.

'So, who is it that decided this cycle of reincarnation?'

A new question arose in Lin Yuan’s mind.

"Could it be that Taoist Taiqing?"

After all, Tai Shang said that this world was once the testing point of Taiqing Daozu in the ancient world.

In short.

Even without relying on the third eye.

Lin Yuan now feels that he has almost mastered many secrets of this world.

I just don’t know what role the Buddha and Zhen Yuanzi play in this.

We can only guess a little information from the names that Patriarch Bodhi mentioned earlier.

He looked at the Jade Emperor and said:
"I know what uncle means, but what if the monkey can solve those problems?"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lin Yuan looked at him calmly.

"You really know?"

Lin Yuan nodded:

"I know everything about the cycle of creation, destruction and emptiness."

The Jade Emperor was shocked:
"You actually remember everything?"

Lin Yuan nodded.

The Jade Emperor was very disappointed and said:
"Then you should know that the stone monkey is incapable of solving those problems. How many ancient and modern experiences does he have? How can you place such high hopes on him?

You might as well place such high hopes on yourself! You can awaken your true spirit on your own. Just this point alone has already surpassed many immortals and gods, and you are only one step away from being like me who can create the world."

"And if you really solve the problem, then you will be the fifth Creator! Why do you need to let that monkey come?!"

Lin Yuan remained silent.

The Jade Emperor continued:
“In the beginning, I relied on the will of all living beings to establish the order of good and evil, manage the operation of the human world and the heavenly court, confer divine office on people with merit, guide mortals to be good and fill the defects of heaven and earth, thus gaining supreme power.

"

"The Tathagata relies on the purification of karma and the liberation of the soul to resolve the obsessions of all living beings, and uses the Dharma to transform resentment, preventing karma from eroding the three realms and filling the defects of heaven and earth, thereby gaining supreme power."

"Zhen Yuanzi used the ginseng fruit tree to stabilize the earth, harmonize the five elements of spiritual energy, control the vitality of the earth veins and the reproduction of all things, and protect the foundation of nature, thereby filling the defects of heaven and earth and gaining supreme power."

"Nowadays"

"The fifth creator of heaven will be the one who completely resolves this cycle of calamity.

I hope that person is you, not this damn stone monkey!"

He looked angry.

Lin Yuan listened quietly to the Jade Emperor's words, with no ripples in his heart.

He understood that the Jade Emperor had high hopes for him, but unfortunately
He is no longer the original Erlang Shen.

Lin Yuan thought it would be better to just come clean.

Otherwise the misunderstanding will continue.

The Jade Emperor finally learned the truth.

I'm afraid he will fight me to death.

So Lin Yuan didn't say much.

But the third eye between his eyebrows opened, and suddenly, a force of time and space burst out and shot towards the Jade Emperor.

In an instant, everything around was still.

The Jade Emperor was stunned for a moment, but then he understood something and his expression changed drastically.

"you"

He pointed at Lin Yuan with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"Uncle, I am no longer myself. I am Erlang Shen, but I am also Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun who came from the depths of chaos."
