Chapter 203 Eight Immortals
Emperor Donghua was waiting for Huafan, but when he saw the real person Nanhua visiting, he couldn't help but stop.

He turned into a mortal, so he was naturally prepared in advance.In this Fangzhang Xianshan, Donghua Palace, it is difficult for evil spirits to invade.Even visitors are not allowed to enter.However, this real Nanhua is different.

In the Three Realms, if it is said how strong Nanhua's magical powers are, it may not be a big deal, and even this real person is not even a "Heavenly Venerable".But in the position of Taoism, it is transcendent.

Just because his "Tao Mind" is no small matter, his understanding of Dao has been completed, even the Four Emperors dare not say that they can compare with him in terms of comprehension of "Tao".

In Taoism, the understanding of "Tao" can be compared with or surpassed by the existence of Nanhua Zhenren, very few.

I am afraid that only Sanqing, Jade Emperor Tianzun, and Future Tianzun have this possibility.

After all, Master Nanhua, strictly speaking, is also a disciple passed down from generation to generation by the Taoist ancestor!

Even the "Central Huangji Huangjiao Emperor" among the five emperors of the five directions had been instructed by Nanhua Zhenren before he attained the position of Tianzun.

Facing Real Nanhua, Emperor Donghua naturally didn't dare to underestimate him, and respectfully replied: "I don't know if the real person came to visit, what advice do you have?"

Nan Hua Daoist said: "I don't have any other advice, just, come here to remind the emperor... The emperor's departure, I am afraid that there are many dangers, and nine times out of ten, he will die and disappear, and his soul will be scattered."

Emperor Donghua was stunned, and then he was shocked: "Why did the real person say such words?"

If it was someone else, Emperor Donghua would have kicked him out a long time ago if he said such a thing.

However, the real Nanhua is different.After all, in terms of understanding of "Tao", he has reached an extremely deep level.If he said that, then it is very likely to be true!

Master Nanhua said: "When I came here, I saw ten thousand layers of stagnant water in the trench in the north. If the emperor turned into a mortal, a big fish in the North Sea, and it happened to grow in the trench, what would be the result?"

Emperor Donghua immediately fell into deep thought when he heard the words.After a long while, he said: "What the real person means is that... Nanbuzhou is like a piece of stagnant water? Doesn't that mean that the mortals in Nanbuzhou will suffer!?"

Master Nanhua nodded slightly: "I am afraid that not only the Nanbu Continent, the four major continents, and even the entire human world will face a catastrophe. Although we may not have such a big influence among the gods, but for the mortal world It is a pity that Taiyi saves the suffering Tianzun, but that Taoist friend is compassionate, but he is unwilling to give up the mortal beings. If the emperor turns into a mortal, he must face the mortal Catastrophe."

Emperor Donghua said: "Really, please tell me clearly, what kind of catastrophe is there in the mortal world?"

Master Nanhua didn't hold back, and said slowly, "From what I see, it's probably a catastrophe for Mara."

"The catastrophe of Moluo?"

Emperor Donghua couldn't react to his words for a while, but soon, he seemed to think of something, and said in surprise: "The catastrophe of Mara, if I remember correctly, this is the catastrophe of Western Buddhism, right? Why? Spread to the human world?"

Nanhua Daoist said: "Not long ago, Sakyamuni, a Western Buddhist sect, comprehended the Three Vehicles, but this also contributed to the harm of Mara. Now, Shakyamuni intends to implement the strategy of traveling to the West, so that the Three Vehicles will spread throughout the human world. But this is also a good time for Mara to run rampant in the world. If Buddhism is successful at that time, it will also bring the "Ending Dharma" to the four major continents. Therefore, the human world has become a quagmire."

Nanhua Daoist explained this, but Emperor Donghua understood a little bit, and he was quite annoyed in his heart: "The Tathagata Buddha really wants to do this? But even if he thinks so, how can my Daomen and the Heavenly Court agree? He wants to travel to the west. How despicable is he to prosper his Buddhist sect while ignoring all living beings in the world?"

Master Nanhua shook his head: "The emperor has misunderstood." He sighed, and said: "There is a saying in the Taoist ancestors: Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, and that is evil, and everyone knows that good is good, and that is not good. Therefore, existence and non-existence are interdependent, difficult and easy are interdependent, long and short are identical, high and low are incline, sound and sound are in harmony, and the front and the back follow each other. Since the heaven and the way are mixed, good exists and evil exists. Even if there is no three vehicles, Mara is already in the heart. "

Emperor Donghua said: "But even so, if the Tathagata does not spread the Buddhadharma to the east, then the human world will not become what the real people call a 'mire'?"

Nanhua Daoist said: "That's a good statement. However, the quagmire may also be an opportunity for all living beings in the world. As the saying goes, everything must be reversed. If the water is always half-clear and half-turbid, then there will never be a possibility of breaking through. But now It is not suitable for reincarnation."

Emperor Donghua sighed: "My mana has been exhausted this time, if I don't reincarnate. Alas, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to overcome the calamity!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Master Nanhua, bowed and said: "Since the Master has come here, I guess he should know something about this matter. Please help the Master to get through the disaster. Donghua is very grateful!"

Nan Hua Daoist said: "Emperor, don't be so polite. I don't have any magical powers, but I can't help you. However, if the emperor wants to survive the disaster, there is indeed a way."

Emperor Donghua hurriedly asked: "What method?"

Nanhua Taoist said: "Eight Immortals!"

"Eight Immortals?" Emperor Donghua was taken aback.

"good."

Nanhua Daoist said: "Buddhist sect wants to spread Buddhism to the east. Our Taoist sect naturally needs to make preparations in advance in Nanfang Buzhou. Especially Taoist friends such as Taiyi Tianzun can't bear to abandon human beings. Therefore, the Taoist sect also has its own arrangements. The Eight Immortals are one of them."

Emperor Donghua said: "Master, please explain in detail."

Master Nanhua nodded and said: "The so-called 'Eight Immortals' are born from the eight trigrams, which represent the eight weathers of my Taoist school. The eight trigrams are born and descended into the world of mortals. When combined with each other, they can become 64 hexagrams, which will evolve the fortune of the world of mortals. These Eight Immortals can be immortals in the world of mortals, if the emperor can give up the position of Tianzun and become one of the Eight Immortals in the future, he can avoid this catastrophe. Although the Eight Immortals are born, although they are not Tianzun, their status is similar to that of Tianzun."

Emperor Donghua laughed and said: "So that's it! It's just the position of Heavenly Venerable, what use is it to me? Besides, I have no Dao heart, this Heavenly Venerable is not worthy of the name, I would like to be one of the Eight Immortals!"

Master Nanhua also smiled slightly when he heard the words: "So, although there are twists and turns in the emperor's departure, it is expected that there will be no worries in the end."

Having said that, Emperor Donghua also knew that someone must have arranged the matter of the Eight Immortals.Can't help asking: "Dare to ask the real person, is this matter arranged by Daozu?"

Daoist Master Nanhua shook his head: "No. The Taoist ancestor is hidden in the sky, and now my Taoist sect's affairs are not handled by the Taoist ancestor."

Emperor Donghua heard the words, his eyes were fixed: "Could it be..."

"good."

Nanhua Daoist said: "This matter is exactly the arrangement of Shangsheng Taiji Tianzun."
