Chapter 21 Thieves

In the sky of Daluo, in the palace of Ziwei. Emperor Zhenwu and Emperor Ziwei sat opposite each other, and Zhenwu's usually solemn and unmarked face showed a rare expression of relief. Emperor Ziwei held a Ziqi Donglai fine sand pot in his hand, poured a cup of fragrant tea for Zhenwu, and asked lightly: "Have you seen the Qilin?" If anyone else sees Ziwei pouring tea for Zhenwu, and Zhenwu accepts it calmly, they will be quite surprised.The hierarchy above the Heavenly Palace is strict. Although Zhenwu is the candidate for the next Heavenly Emperor, in Taoism, he must be under the Three Purities and Six Imperials.

Zhenwu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and instead of answering Ziwei, he said instead: "The Jade Emperor dares to install elaborate work in Ziwei Palace, it is quite bold." Ziwei said: "You also know about this, but in the twenty-eight nights, there are five people whose origins are unknown, and I have replaced them all." Zhen Wudao: "This matter may have something to do with Zuo Fu You Bi." Ziwei said: "I know very well that You Bi is loyal and never goes against me. Zuo Fu... he thinks he is smart. He has frequent contacts with the Antarctic fairy and You Yiling official. I was reprimanded by me for imitating the furnace. After being honest for a few days, I reverted to my old ways, thinking that I have everything from one side to the next... Hehe!"

Zhen Wudao: "I hate to eat the inside out." Ziwei said: "Zuo Fu You Bi was sealed by the Jade Emperor himself, you don't want to touch him." Zhenwu sneered and said: "In the heaven, there is only one person in my eyes, and that is you, Emperor Ziwei." Zhenwu lowered his head and stared at the faintly scented tea in his hand, and said softly, "I was hunted down by Phoenix and Xiangliu back then. Only you, Ziwei, help me, how can I forget this kindness?" Ziwei said: "It happened tens of thousands of years ago, what are you still talking about? You and Qilin have always been proud and independent, that's why Xiaoxiao succeeds. It's right to learn a lot of wisdom."

Zhenwu nodded and said: "I saw Qilin the day before yesterday, and I realized that he, like me, was also marked by someone, but his mark has been removed now." Ziwei was pouring tea for himself, and when he heard what Zhenwu said, he was stunned for a while, even though the tea in his hand poured into the teacup, he didn't care if it overflowed. With a wave of Zhenwu's hand, he used a water-controlling method to collect the tea.Ziwei woke up abruptly, put down the teapot and said, "What extraordinary encounter did Qilin have, that he could remove that imprint?" It wasn't because of Ziwei's inexplicable surprise, it was because he was very familiar with this imprint in Zhenwu's body. For tens of thousands of years, he He tried his best to ask for visits everywhere, but he couldn't find any way. How could he not be surprised when he heard that Qilin removed the mark?

Zhenwu shook his head and said with a smile: "Qilin only said that whenever I control the Heavenly Court, he will help me remove this mark." Ziwei was startled, and laughed: "This Qilin is also interesting." Zhen Wudao: "I was hunted down back then, thanks to Ziwei's help, I found a safe place in the Heavenly Court. Although Fenghuang and Xiangliu are domineering, they dare not easily fall out with the Heavenly Court. However, the Jade Emperor is nothing more than Using each other, I will suppress the northern monsters for him, and he will give me the false name of being the next emperor of heaven, so we both know each other."

Zi Wei nodded and said: "That's true, the Jade Emperor was immortal as early as the Hunyuan Golden Immortal, if he hadn't died, your name as the next one will be hung forever." As the leader of thousands of scales and the body of an ancestral dragon, Zhenwu naturally would not hesitate in his decision to kill. Today, the Jade Emperor is so grandiose and acts grotesquely, it is difficult to do more.He and Ziwei had already planned to overthrow the court. Zhen Wudao: "Nine-headed lions and Fuhaijiao have become popular at this time, which is beyond your and my expectations. Qilin learned of this and asked me to thank him on his behalf." At that time, the old master sent Fuhaijiao away The spirit god ape, Zhenwu readily agreed, and the lion king Jiuling Yuansheng is the little lion that Emperor Ziwei raised back then.

Ziwei said: "What's the point of worrying about trivial matters?" Zhen Wudao: "Qi Tianling and his party opened my eyes. There are many old people in those days, but now they are more beautiful. Today, no matter whether the heavens are in the west or the west, it is difficult to hide Qi Tianling's edge by just relying on superficial skills." Ziwei was a little excited, and said: "Qilin is looking for you now, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join forces!" Zhenwu cautiously said: "Does Qi Tianling have a different heart?" Emperor Ziwei shook his head, and said: "Absolutely not! As the saying goes, people are divided into groups, and things of a kind flock together. You and I know Fu Haijiao and Jiuling Yuansheng very well. They are called monsters by the world, but they have their own Righteousness is present, and I guess the rest of the people will not be too bad. What's more, there is the matter of the Chisongzi Daxing rainwater, what Qi Tianling has done, never forgetting the creatures of the world, is quite in line with my wishes."

Zhenwu continued: "What's more, there are three apes in Qitianling." Ziwei said: "There are four." Zhenwu was puzzled and said: "Lingming Shenyuan was deliberately suppressed by Tathagata, and now he has gone to the west to learn scriptures." Ziwei pondered and said: "Lingming Shenyuan... Did the Tathagata look down on him, or did I look down on him? He has been hidden in the Three Realms for four hundred years, this matter... I'm afraid it's not that simple." Zhen Wudao: "You mean that the ape Lingming used his body as bait to go to the west on purpose? With the power of Qi Tianling, why would he bother to do this?"

Ziwei said: "Don't underestimate the matter of learning scriptures, what kind of thoughts Tathagata has in mind, I can't see clearly at this moment, maybe the move of Lingming God Ape is really right!" With a move in Zhenwu's heart, no matter how scheming Ziwei is, she is a top figure in the heavenly court, unmatched among the six imperial powers, even Sanqing.He is even more proud of being a human being. Even if Chisongzi rained rain for the people, he only said "to my liking".He commented on the Lingming Divine Ape in such a way that he faintly lifted the Lingming Divine Ape to the same height as himself, which is really rare.

Zhen Wudao: "On the way to the west, a group of demons danced wildly. I'll just sit and watch, but when I encounter difficulties, there is Avalokitesvara behind me, so why not?" Zi smiled and said, "Avalokitesvara? I'm afraid she can only deal with it for a while. This westward journey must be more and more difficult." Zhen Wudao: "Have you heard about the disasters in the Ten Continents? That's what Avalokitesvara did." Ziwei frowned slightly: "There is such a thing, isn't someone spreading rumors?" Zhen Wudao: "Nine times out of ten it is true."

Ziwei thought hard for a while, and said: "Weird, Guanyin has always been very disciplined since she entered Buddhism, how could she do such an outrageous act? With her mind, she naturally knew that her whereabouts would be exposed. Who is she going to show her acting like this?" ?” Zhenwu suddenly realized something, and said: "The first person to know about this matter was Emperor Gouchen. The Jade Emperor suppressed this matter because he was really worried that it would spread and cause chaos. From this point of view..." Ziwei nodded and said: "Guanyin knows that the world is turbulent and everyone is wary, no matter the Western Heaven or the Heavenly Court, they must keep silent. It seems that she must have something to ask for, so she did this." Zhenwu's eyes lit up, and he said: "Heavenly Court and Western Heaven should live as safely as possible. For you and me, we can only win in chaos. Why don't you spread this matter and make them both suspicious of each other?" Zi smiled and said: "Okay, unexpectedly Zulong, who is known for being upright and upright, also knows how to scheming." Zhenwu said with a blank face: "I am not counted by everyone, how difficult it is to be alive!" Ziwei praised: "That's exactly the case. There is only a god who has entered the world. How can there be a god who is born? Since the world is moving, who can escape? If you and Qilin were like this before, why bother to be imprisoned!" Zhenwu kept silent, but he didn't show any remorse at all by looking at his expression. Just as he was talking, Ziwei stood up and said, "Youbi has something to do with me, just wait for a moment." Zhenwu nodded, the two of them were very close friends and never had to be polite. After a while, Ziwei returned, with a smile on her face, and said: "This girl is the best at messing around." Hearing what Ziwei said, Zhenwu also said happily, "Is Zixuan looking for you?" Ziwei said: "Where would she come to find me? It's just that she was ordered by the Holy Mother to go down to trouble Tang Monk. She knew that she was not strong enough, so she went to find the old tortoise in the South China Sea and the willow soil deer in the twenty-eight mansions, and went down to have a good show." .It was Liu Tuzhe who didn't dare to hide it, and told You Bi everything about it." Zhen Wudao: "Since Zixuan can find twenty-eight places, it seems that the resentment towards you has gradually disappeared. After all, father and daughter are connected. It seems that the day when you will meet is not far away." Ziwei sighed and said, "I hope so." Then he changed his tone and said, "I heard from Liutu Deer, this time Guanyin made a move halfway and took the old turtle back." Zhenwu thought about it: "Shoot halfway... that is to say, take the initiative to help Tang Seng out of trouble?" Ziwei said: "Exactly." Zhen Wudao: "This is a bit impatient, unlike her usual behavior." Ziwei said: "As I expected, it's not bad. Avalokitesvara must have gained some benefits, so he is so concerned about learning scriptures. Looking back and thinking about the difficulties of the Ten Continents, the two may not be unrelated." Zhen Wudao: "There must be something strange about this matter, but it is hard to find the clue. I wonder why the Holy Mother is also interested in the Buddhist scriptures?" Ziwei said: "You should know the Longhua meeting of Laughing Maitreya. Although this meeting is not as good as the Tathagata Dharma meeting, it has gathered a lot of popularity, and the Holy Mother often comes and goes. There will be old friends. I think the Buddha came from the east to ask When it comes to the head of the Virgin, she is just perfunctory." Zhen Wudao: "Peach Blossom Club in Tianting, Longhua Club in Lingshan. I didn't expect that this Longhua Club would attract many top figures." Ziwei said: "It seems to be true, but there is no need to worry about it. Few of the top figures who went to Longhuahui went for Maitreya." Zhenwu sighed: "Whether he is true or not, at least he has momentum. It seems that there should be some movement in my Beitianmen." Beyond Luzhou in Beiju, in the golden sky and silver land, at the extreme northeast, there is an incomparably huge mountain peak, which is very similar to Buzhou Mountain, as if it was made from the same mold. There are eight jade pillars supporting the sky in Jintianyindi, and this peak is Shihu Mountain in the northeast. On the top of the mountain with a diameter of thousands of miles, there are nine branches. The nine branches are unknown in length. Going up, the wind is like an indestructible sharp blade, and it is difficult for the Hunyuan Jinxian to find out.But according to speculation since ancient times, this must be the work of God. At this time, on one of the branches, there was a roar of joy: "God, I'm finally out!" Accompanied by this roar, a figure was ejected like lightning and flint, and quickly drew several broken lines in the air before standing still in the air. I saw him with a golden-winged kun head and star-like leopard eyes; Turn; Tuan Fenglei and all the birds nodded their heads, Shu Li's claws, the dragon and the snake were frightened, it was the great sage Peng Mowang!
