It is really frustrating to be the Great Celestial Lord!

How happy he was to receive the Taoist decree back then, but now, after countless years have passed, the Jade Emperor is so sad.

He is clearly known as the Lord of Heaven and Earth.

But what you say doesn’t count!
Only he himself understood the awkwardness and discomfort.

"My dear, do you think we should pay more attention to the Wu Clan?"

"What do you mean? Do you want to destroy the witch clan's chance of revival first, and then think about other things? Or..."

After hearing what the Jade Emperor said, the Queen Mother shook her head and said, "Of course not. My dear husband, you have already said that this time the calamity will come again, and it will happen to the two saints in the West and the Buddhist sect in the West. Why should we target the witch clan or the demon clan?"

"Since it's a catastrophe, why not make it more lively?"

"What if we temporarily put aside our current karma for billions of years?"

What the Queen Mother cares about is not the gains and losses of a city or a place, nor the temporary cause and effect.

As long as it can help fish in troubled waters, as long as it will help the Jade Emperor to take a further step in the future and achieve the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, the Queen Mother can temporarily let go of any cause and effect.

When the time really comes, the Jade Emperor will become one.

It’s not too late to find them back one by one.

The reason why the Queen Mother said this was because she understood the Jade Emperor's temper.

She was afraid that the Jade Emperor would hold a grudge and ruin future events.

"I don't mind forgetting some causes and effects for a while, and even letting that monkey go is not a problem. But, how to fish in troubled waters and how to get a little luck in the catastrophe, now you and I have no idea at all, what can we do."

"That's right. Now that Immortal Yangmei is no longer in this world, it's too difficult to know how to take the last step. Unless you ask that person!"

The Jade Emperor naturally knew who the Queen Mother was talking about.

It's just that the Immortal Zhenyuan has always been a detached person. As the ancestor of a Taoist path, he was able to give up the honorable position of the god of the earth and didn't want to be involved in the cause and effect of heaven and earth.

How to get indecent favor with him is also a problem.

"I remember that monkey had a very good relationship with that immortal."

"You mean..."

"Tell that monkey clearly that we should exchange karma. He released the chief witch under Changyang Mountain. No matter what, he owes you and me karma. If we can exchange this karma for that immortal's karma, it would be great."

"It all depends on whether the immortal owes the wild monkey a debt of karma."

Hearing the Queen Mother say this, the Jade Emperor narrowed his eyes and naturally felt that it was a good deal. In order to achieve the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, he didn't care about one or two causes and effects.

No matter how serious the cause and effect is, it doesn’t matter!
After all, the world is so big, but nothing is as great as achieving enlightenment on your own.

"If you have time, go find Erlang and check out that wild monkey!"

"You want to?" The Queen Mother, who had gone through countless tribulations with the Jade Emperor, understood what the Jade Emperor meant with just a glance and a few words. "Throwing Chenxiang's karma to Erlang is also a favor to him, right?"

"Shouldn't it be!"

Yang Jian couldn't really think that without the secret approval of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, he could take Chenxiang down from the Heavenly Palace without alerting too many people.

It has been some time since Chenxiang came to the human world.

It is natural to ask him to find Sun Wukong to do some things.

Besides, no matter what, Yang Jian is the nephew of the Jade Emperor. If his uncle gives orders or makes requests, he should do his part.

"Okay, I'll send someone to Guanjiangkou to look for him later."

……

Guanjiangkou, Zhenjun Temple.

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother talked secretly for a long time in the quiet room, and then they left the Jingxin Palace.

The Queen Mother naturally sent her close maid, Fairy Qingyin, to the lower world.

When Fairy Qingyin arrived at the Zhenjun Temple, Roaring Sky Dog came to see her with precautions. After hearing the fairy say that she had come to the mortal world on the orders of the Queen Mother, specifically to look for Erlang Zhenjun, his mind was shaken for a moment, but he acted as if nothing had happened and went to the shrine in the temple to look for his master.

"Master, Master, something terrible has happened!"

"Someone from Heaven has come down to the mortal world to look for the master... Master, if nothing else, we should run away."

Before they even set foot in the side hall of the True Lord, Roaring Sky Dog had already begun to secretly communicate with Erlang Shen in the hall.

When Erlang Shen opened the temple door, he looked at the lackey-like Howling Sky Dog, who was standing in front of the door expectantly waiting for him. He couldn't help but twitch his lips, "Why are you in such a hurry? What's going to come will come back sooner or later. Where can you run to?"

"Come on, follow me out to meet this Fairy Qingyin."

As long as Erlang Shen wants.

Except for saints and a very small number of people, any immortal or god who enters his temple cannot escape his eyes.

As soon as Fairy Qingyin entered the Zhenjun Temple, Erlang Shen actually noticed it and thought of something.

"Master, we really don't want it?"

"Stupid! Do you think that if the two above wanted to cause trouble for us, they would send Fairy Qingyin alone? Without thousands of troops, how many immortals in heaven and earth can easily take over my temple?"

As he was speaking, Erlang Shen had already arrived at the temple.

After they met each other, they sat down and exchanged greetings for a long time. Fairy Qingyin saw that Erlang Shen still didn't look anxious at all, so she told him the purpose of her visit.

"True Lord, I come to see you on the orders of the Queen Mother. I want to ask for your help. Can you please dismiss the attendants?"

"Seeking a favor? This is new! Roaring Sky Dog, take them to guard the left and right first!"

Following Erlang Shen's order, Howling Sky Dog who was guarding the door of the temple naturally gave the order as well, and then they went away from the temple and guarded the left and right sides against wind and rain.

Seeing this, Fairy Qingyin waved her hand, confusing the left and right traces of the divine secrets, and then spoke again.

"True Lord, I'm sure you also know about what happened in Changyang Mountain today."

"Your Majesty has no intention of disrupting the journey to the west, but she also does not want to ask for forgiveness from the Monkey King... Therefore, Your Majesty intends to make the Monkey King owe a great karma, or in other words, to repay a great karma to Your Majesty. How do you think of resolving the two in this way?"

Regarding this matter, you can go find Sun Wukong yourself, why come to me!

Erlang Shen's mind turned slightly, and he immediately understood something, "From what the fairy said, you want me to go find Sun Wukong so that you can mediate?"

"That's what Zhenjun said!"

"If Sun Dasheng is willing, it would be best if he could exchange it for a great cause and effect from the immortal in Wuzhuang Temple. Then, Your Majesty will naturally go find that immortal, and you won't have to worry about all the things here."

Isn’t it because of Sun Wukong?!

Hearing Fairy Qingyin say this again, Erlang Shen's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

As a member of the Chan sect, and as the True Lord Miaodao who only obeys orders but not warnings, Erlang Shen has seen too many immortals, gods, and monsters, and heard too many mysterious gossips since he started practicing.

I have also heard about the temperament of the Immortal Zhenyuan and what kind of immortal he is.

It is really impossible to find him through ordinary cause and effect!
Not to mention the big cause and effect!

It was obvious that the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother were obsessed with Zhenyuan Daxian and wanted to exchange karma with Sun Wukong. She was even willing to give up the matter of Changyang Mountain!

Erlang Shen didn't want to think too deeply about the calculations involved.

"Fairy Qingyin, please go back!"

Erlang Shen didn't want to care or get involved in what the couple was trying to do.

Really speaking.

Now Erlang Shen still owes Sun Wukong a great favor.

The Star Lamp was still in the hands of the Jade Emperor, and he hadn't returned it to Sun Wukong yet. How could Erlang Shen have the nerve to ask Sun Wukong to lend another karma to the couple?
Again.

Erlang Shen usually didn't ruin their good deeds because of their blood relationship.

What is being plotted, what is being done against one's will under the laws of nature.

Back then, Yang Jia Dalang died under the pursuit and blockade of heavenly soldiers and generals, but Erlang Shen has not forgotten it.

"True Lord, don't forget that you are also an uncle now!"

Seeing Erlang Shen standing up and about to leave, Fairy Qingyin couldn't help but say, "Your Excellency, don't you think that anyone can come and go as they please in those many heavenly palaces..."

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother let Chenxiang go, you, Erlang Shen, have to admit it!

The cause and effect between Sun Wukong and Zhenyuan Daxian, even if you, Erlang Shen, don’t want to borrow it, you have to borrow it!

although.

At that time in Yaochi, the Queen Mother did not give Fairy Qingyin any instructions, but she did mention the matter of Chenxiang in a casual manner. As a close friend of the Queen Mother, Fairy Qingyin came to see Erlang Shen with a clear mind.

"Good! What a good couple..."

Yang Jian finally stopped talking, but the expression on his face was indescribably calm. "I have taken note of Fairy Qingyin's request and will give you a reply within three days. If there is nothing else, I will not accompany you! Please."

After saying this, Erlang Shen didn't care about Fairy Qingyin and got up and went into the backyard.

After a while.

When Howling Sky Dog entered the backyard like a lackey and approached Erlang Shen, he saw that his master looked depressed and couldn't help but repeatedly said, "Master, why do you have to worry about those two people above? After so many years, you should have known who they are."

"Every time they send someone to our house, it's always bad news!"

"Oh! You know it."

Yes, it has been so many years since the gods were canonized. No matter whether it is the Jade Emperor or the Queen Mother, whenever they send people to Guanjiangkou, most of them are bad news.

Even if it is a good thing, there will be a lot of troubles waiting behind it.

Not only has Erlang Shen gotten used to it, even Roaring Sky Dog can foresee things before they happen.

Just this time.

This really made Erlang Shen a little confused. In his eyes, Sun Wukong was indeed a straightforward and easy-to-talk-to person, but he couldn't always owe that monkey a favor, right?
If you owe too much, it will be difficult to meet each other.

……

Bibi Mountain, Sanhui Cave.

Under the countless forbidden lights, the starlight floats and sinks, and the brilliance of the stars is faintly visible.

Two big monsters who looked like middle-aged Taoist priests were currently in the depths of the cave, staring at the brilliance of the stars on both sides in a daze.

"...The Chaos Bell has been born, and now even the flag of the Great Array of Stars in the Changyang Mountain has been born..."

"Yes! I just wonder what happened to the two majesties back then."

"If they are still alive..."

The two demons muttered a few words to each other and fell silent again. Now, the heavens were no longer controlled by the demons, and the same was true for the stars.

This cave can have such star power that can form a lake or a sea, all thanks to the star flags accumulated by the Demon Court in the past.

That's right.

Not only did the Jade Emperor take over a lot of star flags in the Heavenly Palace back then, some star flags that survived the wizard and demon calamity also fell into the hands of some monsters who had the chance to survive the calamity.

The two great monsters in front of us are exactly one or two of them.

It was also because they sensed the changes in Changyang Mountain the night before that the two familiar monsters came together to discuss something.

But when we really sat together, I didn’t know where to start.

"Su Guang, do you think we have a chance to get the things back from that monkey?"

"Difficult! Nowadays, everyone in the world knows the name of the Great Array of Stars. Each star flag is a top-quality acquired spiritual treasure that can attract the essence of all kinds of stars. Whether it is used for cultivation, setting up an array, or as a general spiritual treasure, it is a top-quality treasure."

"If it were you or me, I'm afraid we wouldn't be willing to give up a star flag."

It’s a very simple truth to put yourself in others’ shoes.

Besides, that monkey is not easy to deal with. Now those who have some vision don’t know who it is.

There is absolutely no possibility of snatching the treasure from Sun Wukong. The most you can do is to scheme or find a way to get it!
"What if you and I use the method of the great formation to exchange it?"

"Don't even think about it. Zhangbei, don't forget that monkey still has the Donghuang Bell in his hand. As long as we can refine that treasure..."

"It's probably not that difficult to comprehend the essence of the Star Array from it. Besides, you and I were not the ones who mastered the Star Array back then. Although we have some understanding of the Star Array, it's not complete."

"That's true, but who can refine the Dong Huang Bell? Even Dong Huang spent countless years trying to refine it, but he still couldn't. I don't believe that a rising star like him has such ability!"

The innate treasure is really not that easy to refine.

Almost everyone in the upper echelons of the Demon Court back then knew this.

It was precisely because Donghuang Taiyi failed to completely refine the Donghuang Bell and could not bring the supreme power of the treasure to be on par with the saints that the great array of stars in the sky came into being.

Faced with the aggressiveness of the witch clan, faced with the emergence of another saint in the world.

The demon clan can only look for another supreme protective formation.

"How about you and I find an opportunity to test the monkey's intentions?"

"Or maybe we can just kidnap the pilgrim and force the monkey to hand over the Star Flag?"

Don’t blame Su Guang and Zhang Bei for being greedy.

The truth is that the demon clan today is far, far worse than it was in the past. Not to mention refining any top-grade acquired spiritual treasures, there is nowhere to find or snatch even some innate spiritual talents.

Some fairy treasures were not worthy of their attention.

The two of them have now reached the level of Quasi-Saint Hunyuan who can slay the Three Corpses. All they lack is a treasure to hold the Three Corpses and achieve complete Quasi-Saint Hunyuan.

After searching all over the world and accumulating knowledge for countless years, he still couldn't find the innate spiritual treasure.

The only option left is to take the treasures left by the Demon Court.

"I don't know how many formation flags that monkey got. You and I need to kill at least 108 corpses each to form a formation. If there are 360, it would be best if there are none."

"It should be seven hundred and twenty!"

Three hundred and sixty per person, the total is not seven hundred and two.

The two demons, Su Guang and Zhang Bei, were just Golden Immortals holding the lowest Star Flag back then. Now, countless years have passed, and they have been able to cultivate into Quasi-Saints. They all have extraordinary roots and good fortune.

With the blessing of cause and effect of the great kalpa, the demon clan today is only slightly better than the three clans of dragon, phoenix and unicorn in the past.

Many of the demon tribes that were defeated in the past find it difficult to make further progress.

"Why don't you just say that it will take two thousand one hundred and sixty for you and me to kill the three corpses. Let's not talk about that. Su Guang, are you going to meet the monkey in person, or?"

"Hehe, why do you and I need to do it ourselves? Is there still a shortage of demon kings and monsters in this world..."

Spring is back in the city, and the inn is prosperous.

On this day, after passing more than ten cities, Tang Seng and his entourage arrived at Chungui City.

This city is very close to the capital of Baoxiang Kingdom.

At most it would take another three or two days to reach the capital of Baoxiang Kingdom and exchange the pass.

In recent months.

Resting in the city from time to time, both Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie seemed a lot lazier now. At least they didn't have to be on guard against wolves, tigers, leopards or even monsters attacking at night all the time, and they could get a good night's sleep.

"Brother Monkey, do you think that in places with many people, there is more good fortune and luck, so there are fewer monsters and demons?"

"Have a safe and peaceful journey."

Zhu Bajie opened his mouth wide and started to speak like a jinx again.

In fact, a month ago, when Sun Wukong first arrived at the territory of Baoxiang Kingdom, he knew that he would encounter the trouble of Princess Baihuaxiu.

I don’t know if it was because Tang Seng was not lost and Sun Wukong was not gone either, but not only did he not see Princess Baihuaxiu, he didn’t even see any trace of the Yellow Robe Monster.

Is that a good thing?
"Human destiny cannot control monsters." Sun Wukong chuckled and said, "Stupid, bear with it. Maybe in a few days, you won't be able to see any monsters you don't want to see."

Squatting on the bench, watching the guests and pedestrians coming in and out of the inn.

Sun Wukong suddenly felt that the yellow-robed monster seemed to be here to join in the fun. As a monster, he didn't scare many people.

It seems like he's just going through the motions.

"Brother Monkey, do you know something?"

"I know nothing. I can see the past and the future. Don't worry about anything else. Just stay with your master... Hey, why is this Three-Eyed Master here? Idiot, I'll be back soon!"

After Sun Wukong finished speaking, he suddenly threw away the chopsticks in his hand, leaving behind a shadow. His real and fake bodies had already used a shell-shedding technique and escaped from the inn invisibly.

Soon, they arrived above the sky of Chungui City.

When Sun Wukong saw Erlang Shen and Nezha, he couldn't help but laugh, "I said you two are free today, are you passing by to see me, or?"

When Nezha on the cloud saw Sun Wukong, he threw two jars of heavenly imperial wine to him.

He waved his hand again, covering up all traces of the secrets.

Then he scratched his chin and said, "Great Sage, there are some things that I should let my second brother talk to you about. I am not in a position to speak!"

Is this something wrong?!

When Sun Wukong saw Nezha's slightly awkward expression and Yang Jian's hesitant look, he naturally understood.

"True Lord, are you still being so distant with me? If you have something to say, just tell me. If I can help, I will certainly help. If I can't do it, please don't blame me, True Lord Xiansheng."

"Tell me quickly, what else in this world can stump you two?"

"That's really strange to me, Old Sun."

Yang Jian and Nezha are now well-known names in the prehistoric world. Not to mention their own fighting abilities, they are both senior masters in the same sect.

As for the things that could make the disciples of the Chan sect feel embarrassed, Sun Wukong could not think of anything else except Chenxiang and the Three Holy Mothers.

"Great Sage, I have to come for this matter."

Something that could make Yang Jian frown and speechless made Sun Wukong even more concerned.

"You did it on purpose, didn't you? Hurry up and tell me the truth!"

"Second brother! If you don't say it, I'll say it for you."

Seeing that Nezha was about to speak, Yang Jian suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him, and then said: "Great Sage, I came to see you to find out a cause and effect between you and the Great Immortal Zhenyuan."

"Hmm?! What did you say... the cause and effect with Zhenyuan Daxian, are you looking for Daxian for something?"

Yang Jian shook his head, "It's not me, but the two in heaven."

Seeing Sun Wukong's eyebrows twitching, Yang Jian continued, "These are all debts owed in the past. Chenxiang has now gone to the lower world, but because of this, I owe them. They came to my house and wanted to change the cause and effect, so I had no choice but to find the Great Sage!"

"No matter whether the Great Sage is willing or not, I, Yang Jian, will remember this friendship!"

Although Yang Jian's words were a bit vague and inconsistent, Sun Wukong still understood them.

It wasn't that Yang Jian, the True Lord Erlang, was looking for the Immortal Zhen Yuanzi for something and wanted to come to him to seek cause and effect and ask the immortal for help, but it was the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother in Heaven who had something to do!
Most likely it’s not a good thing!

Otherwise, given their current positions in the world and the inherent relationships they have, they would naturally not seek any cause and effect and go to ask for help from the Immortal Zhenyuan.

"You don't need to mention this to me. I've been friends with you, Erlang Zhenjun, and I've never cared about cause and effect."

"You, Erlang Zhenjun, and the Third Prince, are no exception?"

"The cause and effect of Zhenyuan Daxian... Speaking of it, that Daxian really doesn't owe me anything, but if I go to him to ask for help, he will open his mouth. So, if it's convenient for Erlang Zhenjun, why not go to heaven to ask."

"If it's something I can do, why not help them?"

Seeing Sun Wukong's frank words, Nezha said, "Great Sage, if you can take over this cause, it's not a bad thing. At least those two want to exchange cause and effect with you. They have spoken about the matter of Changyang Mountain."

"There's such a thing? That's great!"

Sun Wukong still thought that the male and female pair in heaven were just letting Yang Jian talk away a cause and effect story out of thin air.

Unexpectedly, it was a change.

That’s good too!
After all, the incident at Changyang Mountain was a big deal, and Sun Wukong didn't want to be on guard against the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother's schemes all the time. If he could get rid of this cause and effect, it would be a good thing.

But the more this happened, the more Sun Wukong couldn't figure out why these two were looking for the Immortal Zhenyuan!
"You two, is it possible to go to the Heavenly Palace again?"

"Second brother, you can accompany the Great Sage to rest here, or I will go there."

As he said this, Nezha took out a square of mat from somewhere and placed it on the cloud. Then, without waiting for Yang Jian to speak, he turned into a ray of light and flew away.

Obviously, Nezha was afraid that Yang Jian would meet the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother and cause some trouble, so he snatched it away.

"The Third Prince is really thoughtful. Please take a seat, Master."

"It's been a long time since I tasted the imperial wine and imperial banquet in the Heavenly Palace." Sitting on the cloud, seeing Erlang Zhenjun also sitting down with a wry smile, Sun Wukong changed the subject and said, "Zhenjun, I just heard you say that your good nephew was sent to the lower world by you. Are you going to raise and teach him yourself?"

If so.

I’m afraid I’ll have to watch less of this big event in the future.

The scene of nephew beating uncle is really rare in this world.

"Not yet." Yang Jian took the wine jar handed over by Sun Wukong, casually broke the seal, took a big gulp, and then continued: "I am also afraid... Let's send him to a farmer's house first. We will talk about it later."

Naturally, Yang Jian wanted to raise Chenxiang himself.

Unfortunately, it is not possible for the time being. (End of this chapter)
