Chapter 26: The Earth Behind the Jade Emperor's Palace
In the Jade Emperor Hall of Heaven, there was a colorful atmosphere. A pair of fairies of heaven were walking through the hall, holding fresh fruits, wine and candied fruits in their hands, and replaced the old things placed on the imperial desk, carefully putting them down one by one, and then retreating respectfully.
This is the blessing of the Xuanqiong Gao God. Regardless of whether the Jade Emperor Zhang had enjoyed it, the food placed on the table must be replaced with fresh every other day. At the same time, there is also the Tuiyun Boy Bu Wu Langjun evolved into clouds and mist in front of the Jade Emperor Hall, making various shapes of colorful mist, making the Jade Emperor Hall hide into the clouds, and it will appear both mysterious and majestic.
In folk legends, there is always excessive praise for the world. The Jade Emperor's little daughter secretly ran to the mortal world and found a young man with a strong and thick black life. At that time, she felt that she was so happy. This young man with the surname Dong or Niu was much more cute than the cold and blond fairy. So when she saw the wheat ripe in autumn, she turned over layers of wheat waves in the autumn wind, the little fairy daughter sang romantically, "It's more joyful in the world."
It is a very serious mistake to only talk about folk joy but ignore folk suffering. Sun Dakong really wanted to ask this little fairy, you are afraid that you are not a scholar or a cowherd, but a child of a landlord? Do you know how many mortals are struggling for a bite of food? And do you know that the gods and gods may help you when they see mortals struggling and seeking survival. If they are in a good mood, they will let them go. After all, it depends on whether the incense offered by mortals can satisfy them?
If any king is not open his eyes and knocks over the Jade Emperor's altar, but the offering is eaten by a dog, his country will become famous, and the water in this country will become more expensive than oil.
In fact, Zhang Bairen should be very wronged. He didn't know why he offended the writer, but he described him as a villain who was extremely selfish and angry with the people. He was really busy. He had to go to Lingxiao Palace to listen to court, affairs in the heavenly realm, affairs in the lower realm, affairs in the Dragon King's family, and even the King of Hell followed suit... Zhang Bairen's most annoying thing is these ten dead ghosts. His stern faces are ugly than crying as soon as he goes to court. Don't you like to get close to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the Buddha Realm? If you have trouble, go to the Bodhisattva. If you can't go to the West to find Tathagata, what are you doing here? It's really bad luck!
After finally waiting for all the immortal officials to report everything, Zhang Bairen could breathe a sigh of relief and quickly slip out of Lingxiao Palace to do something he really wanted to do.
At this time, the Jade Emperor's Palace will emit a fragrance of soil. If you carefully appreciate it, you can also find the fragrance of feces from the rich soil smell. The beautiful fairy sisters are most afraid of passing by here. If they can't avoid it, they will secretly cover Xiao Qiong's nose and frown their beautiful eyebrows. What is the emperor going to do? They really want to drive people crazy.
Taibai Jinxing is the most caring person of the Emperor. As long as there is no task of recruiting the lower realm, he will change into wrinkled linen clothes and linen shoes on time every day, and carry a hoe and appear in front of Emperor Zhang with a smile.
The land in front of me, which was paved with earth, was the most beloved thing of the Emperor. He was willing to spend time to get it from Zhangjiazhai, the lower realm. Every time the Emperor saw this field, he would show an intoxicated expression. He said that his hometown was better. No matter whether the Emperor was sincere or pretended to be pretentious, Taibai Jinxing would immediately flatter him with a serious look on his face. The Emperor had not forgotten his hometown in the lower realm, which really moved the old minister! Whenever this time, the Emperor would pat his shoulder hard and give him a warm smile, as if saying, "Taibai, you are the person I trust the most." Taibai Jinxing was immediately overjoyed and was about to fall in love with the feces here.
"Taibai, time flies so fast. Calculate it, how many years have you taken me to heaven? It seems to be still yesterday!"
Zhang Bairen, who took off the robe of the Emperor of Heaven and changed into an old farmer in the mortal world, plowed the ground with a hoe. Although the origin of this hoe was a bit extraordinary, it was refined by the Heavenly Court Military Supervision Office using a thousand years of black iron to condense the true essence of the Five Elements, and it was the Six Dings and Six Jias that stirred the fire. A generation of military saint Ou Yezi personally watched the furnace. On the day it was released, there were thousands of golden lights and thousands of auspicious energy. But when it was stained with dung, it was an ordinary hoe.
Zhang Bairen was very skillful in his technique. He saw that he was an old farmer who had been around for a long time. He gently turned the soil up, flattened the soil and crushed it into fine soil, and then turned it over twice and three times. That was absolutely intensive cultivation. He could not find any fault in old crops for many years.
"It's too long... I can't remember how many years it has been. I only remember that when the Emperor of Heaven lost his throne and the heavens were in chaos, the gods discussed it and asked the Emperor to find you, a good man for thousands of generations.
I only remember that not long after the Emperor entered Lingxiao, Jiang Ziya killed the general and enthroned the gods, and the power of my heaven became stronger. (Note: There are many different myths and folk legends about the origin of the Jade Emperor. This book is just one of them, and there is no way to verify this, because it is an illusory myth)
"Strong? How powerful..."
Zhang Bairen laughed and sniffed the hoe to the ground. He took the tea handed over by Taibai Jinxing and drank it in one sip. He nodded and praised: "There are nectars and jade liquids in the heavens, but in my opinion, they are mostly illusory and cannot be controlled by the earth. I prefer the rough tea in this world, quenching my thirst and drinking it happily!
The gods in the heavenly world are now obsessed with the power on the surface. Just like those nectar, jade liquid, golden elixir peaches, although they are all holy products, they can only come from the heavenly world. Let’s talk about the Peach Garden of Queen Mother of the West. If you eat one of the peaches you have made, you can live for thousands of years. Many gods stare at them, hoping to participate in the Peach Banquet.
But, they didn't think about it. Since Pangu opened the world, the heaven and earth have to pay attention to a balance, yin and yang, men and women, gods and demons, nothing else, balance. The peach is so magical, it was exchanged for my spiritual energy in the heaven! Every time I get one season, I will take away the spiritual energy of the heaven!
Where does the spiritual energy of heaven come from? It must be extracted from the human world! But what about the human world now? It is controlled by the heavenly court and lost nature! If my heavenly world does not know the crisis and demands excessively, the human world will only lose all spiritual energy. At that time, natural disasters are frequent and people are living in poverty. Even if there is rain in the dragon king and the thunder department is moving, it is probably a drop in the bucket! When the people in the mortal world are suffering, I am afraid that some false compassionate people will have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation!"
"What the Emperor said..."
Taibai Venus sighed and couldn't help but glance at the west.
He brought this Emperor Zhang to heaven back then, so he was naturally the emperor's most trusted and confidential person. How could he not know the troubles in Zhang Bai's heart?
The mortals only think that Emperor Zhang wants to control the human world, and even how many drops of rain should be dropped somewhere must be decided by the Heavenly Court. But how could he know that Emperor Zhang originally came from the mortal world, but in fact he was the first to oppose controlling the mortal world. However, when encountering such a major event, the Jade Emperor would propose it as usual and discuss it with the four emperors. How could he decide alone?
Looking at the only mortal land in the heavenly realm in front of him, Taibai Jinxing suddenly felt a little sad about the Xuanqiong Gao God in the eyes of mortals.
"Report to the Emperor, the fire monkey has returned from Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and asks to meet the Emperor!"
Zhang Bairen and the king and his minister were sighing, and a close-fitting official walked gently to the edge of the field and reported.
"Oh, the fire monkey is back? Let him come and see me quickly!"
