Chapter 14 Life is difficult even for gods
The place where the Purple Star and the Big Dipper Star are opposite each other is the entrance to the legendary Nantian Gate.
Entering Nantianmen is also heaven.
The heaven is supported by nine layers of floating cloud shields, with numerous fairy islands and floating clouds rising straight up.
Under the mist, one can vaguely see the Nantian Gate with one of its pillars falling down. There were originally two pillars, but one of them failed, leaving only one pillar supporting the majesty of heaven.
Passing through the Nantian Gate, you can see the 36 palaces and 72 palaces on that day. Miao Miao's fairy spirit is like yesterday's yellow flowers, and it looks dilapidated. In all likelihood, the buildings will be empty.
Entering the Lingxiao Palace, all the immortals and generals were scattered around, listless and slovenly dressed.
In the center of the hall, the Jade Emperor sat majestically with an expressionless face, as if he had not moved for a long time. Listening to the words from the Supreme Lord, his heart felt desolate,
"Jade Emperor, it's time to draw lots again."
Yes, it's time to draw lots again. So many heavenly soldiers and generals, so many emperors of the stars, and so many children of gods and immortals have all been drawn. It's time to draw lots again.
When did this all start? If you can't remember clearly, if the rules are broken and the wheel of fate stops spinning, this is the beginning of disaster.
As the Jade Emperor, he is in charge of all the yin and yang, misfortunes and blessings of the three realms, the ten directions, the four lives, and the six realms.
However, it is impossible to control the Wheel of Life. From the moment when faith collapses in the human world and disobeys the way of heaven, the Wheel of Life can no longer be controlled.
It turns slower and slower, and the moment it stops, everything will return to dust.
The gods had no choice but to fill the life wheel themselves.
I can’t remember who started it.
It seems to start with the Heavenly Soldiers, then the Thirty-six Heavenly Generals, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Twelve Yuan Chen, the Nine Yao Stars, the Eight Immortals, the Big Dipper Star, the South Dipper Star, the Five Dipper Stars, the Five Directions, and the Five Qi Zhen. Your Majesty, the four marshals, the four dragon gods, the four heavenly masters, the four heavenly kings, and the three officials and emperors are all almost filled up.
The Jade Emperor, with dull eyes, looked at the Supreme Lord, and repeated the question in a trembling tone,
"Brother Jun, is it time to draw lots again? We are almost out of draws."
Taishang Laojun patted the Jade Emperor on the shoulder and tried his best to comfort the Jade Emperor, but it had no effect. He could only say helplessly,
"It's impossible not to smoke. The number of benevolent people in the world is decreasing. It is difficult for the destiny wheel of the earth to rotate, and the destiny wheel of the heaven is about to stop. As gods, we have to sacrifice for the balance of the three realms. My disciples and grandchildren have also filled the gap. That’s almost it.”
Although the matter was cruel, the Jade Emperor also understood the reason. As if something suddenly occurred to him, he said viciously,
"Brother Jun, please bring the gods and Buddhas of the West with you in this draw. Don't think of them being left alone. They come out to cheat money during times of peace and prosperity, and they hide in the Western Paradise during great disasters. I was forced to take back that land. ”
Taishang Laojun continued to appease the Jade Emperor and said bitterly,
"Jade Emperor, you have forgotten that a long time ago, they were drawn by lot. Ninety-eight of the family members, thirty-four of the heavens, and thirty-four of the gods were all drawn. At present, only Some Bodhisattvas and Buddhas are supporting the scene.”
Trying to recall, yes, the last time he drew the Seven Fairies, the Jade Emperor was so angry that he had already brought those guys from the West with him, and they had been filling the wheel of life together for a long time.
Looking at the ruined Nine Heavens with despair, the Jade Emperor sighed,
"Brother Jun, this is all your fault. There is also the Tathagata who asked you to teach the world to abandon evil and do good, abide by the laws of heaven, and abide by human ethics. Look at the smog in the world now. You have betrayed my trust."< br>
Taishang Laojun had nothing to say and looked embarrassed. Who would have thought that things would change so quickly?
One day in the sky, one year on the earth, in the sky, every day, on the earth, everything changes rapidly, oh, life is really sad.
My disciples and grandsons didn't have to draw lots, they just jumped on the wheel of fate, giving full play to their fearless spirit.
Thinking back to the seventy-two Taoist ancestors, when they ascended, they left behind seventy-two crafts to support people and help all living beings. How could they not live a good life after having enough to eat?
I don’t know when those immortals and powerful beings who have filled up their life wheels will come back after reincarnating into the human world. It’s so desolate.
"Jade Emperor, we still have to draw lots. There is really nothing we can do."
Taishang Laojun continued the question that no one wanted to face just now.
When the Jade Emperor heard the word "draw lots" again, a fierce look appeared on his face, and he smashed the broken jar, "No more drawing, I'll go. Baotian Realm can still be maintained for hundreds of years."< br>
After saying that, he got up and went to fill the life wheel.
A group of dejected gods and generals hurried over to stop the Jade Emperor and tried to persuade him not to be impulsive, not to be impulsive,
A good man stood up,
"Uncle, I'm going to go as well. Although I'm lucky, I haven't been drawn so many times, but it's time for me to make a contribution."
The Jade Emperor stared at Erlang Shen, his most disliked nephew in the past, and thought to himself, you should have gone a long time ago. This place does not belong to you. I had to act like this for you to stand up. Your emotional intelligence is really low, and it is because of your impure blood. ah.
He sat back on the throne silently and nodded naturally. All the gods also nodded and cast encouraging glances at Erlang Shen.
Erlangshen felt a little regretful. He was a little impulsive. Shouldn't someone stop him and continue drawing lots?
This performance is ruined. There is no other way. Just go. It is better than enduring here. Just as it is about to turn into a golden light and throw it into the wheel of life, a sudden change occurs.
The wheel of fortune started turning rapidly, and the past grand scene of the Heavenly Palace suddenly reappeared.
The entire heavenly palace was shrouded in thousands of golden lights, and the auspicious purple air was everywhere.
Nantianmen has restored its solemnity and majesty, like gold and jade.
Dozens of marshals were placed on both sides to hold the sky, one of them supported the beam and supported the pillar;
There are more than a dozen golden-armored gods on the four sides, each holding a halberd, a whip, and a sword.
Crossing the Nantianmen, the scene becomes even grander.
In the square,
Dozens of optimizing jade pillars stand resolutely, entwined with five-clawed golden dragons,
Hundreds of long jade bridges span the Tianhe River, with colorful phoenixes hovering around them.
Cross the long bridge.
On the left is the birthday table, covered with flowers.
On the right is the medicine refining furnace, which will last forever.
Before reaching the Lingxiao Palace, Phantom seemed to be running out of battery.
In just an instant, yesterday's prosperity disappeared and turned into bleakness again.
Taishang Laojun recovered immediately and was overjoyed,
"Jade Emperor, we can be saved. In the human world, the wheel of life has awakened, and we can be saved."
A group of gods also reacted, yes, there is hope, there is no need to draw lots, and those relatives and friends who have been reincarnated can come back.
The Jade Emperor seemed to be still immersed in the beautiful scenery just now. When he came back to his senses, he found that Erlang Shen was still there and was very dissatisfied.
"Why are you still here?"
Didn’t you say there was help? Do I still have to fill it out?
Erlangshen was very desperate, but he turned into a golden light, threw himself into the wheel of life, and was reincarnated.
If you know that success will lead to failure, then you don’t have to be too strong in your pursuit of success; if you know that life will lead to death, then you don’t have to work too hard to survive. Quoted from "Cai Gen Tan"
