Mythology: Erlang Shen begins to show his divine power in the heavens

Chapter 189: Accepting the True Self, Wukong Seeks the Golden Cudgel

Finally, the Jade Emperor, unable to accept the reality, drove Lin Yuan out of the Lingxiao Palace.

Lin Yuan didn't say much. As the power dissipated, the incarnation disappeared from the spot.

Fangcun Mountain.

Tai Shang seemed to have caught a glimpse of what was happening in the Lingxiao Palace.

He said to Lin Yuan with a smile:

"Erlang Shen is the Jade Emperor's favorite nephew. In comparison, he values ​​this nephew more than his own children.

But you replaced Erlang Shen just like that, and it was rational for him not to take direct action."

"You should have taken me back from more than one world, right? I think in those worlds, the Jade Emperor would value his own nephew more.

Have you ever experienced a situation where a Jade Emperor fought you to death after finding out that you replaced their original nephew?"

Lin Yuan looked at Tai Shang.

He just felt that this Supreme was completely different from the immortal figure he had imagined.

It's totally like an old kid!
Seems to enjoy watching the fun too.

Lin Yuan said:
"Generally speaking, I will deliberately play a role, but this time, I have no intention of playing the role of Erlang Shen of this world. From the beginning, I faced him as Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun."

"So, the situation you described never happened."

The Supreme was startled, then thought of something and said:
"It seems that you are really in a state of confusion."

Lin Yuan said:
"I'm not confused, I'm just verifying something."

The Supreme Way:
“Haha, sometimes I really feel that you are not like an original god, but just like a mortal who suddenly obtained the original divine status.”

"If this wasn't impossible, I would really doubt your identity."

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly:

"how do I say this?"

The Supreme Way:
"It's very simple. Only mortals are confused. A true god will always know what he wants. All his wishes are in his heart."

"You said that before, when you went to a world and merged with the other self in that world, you would deliberately act out some roles so as not to make things too far away from the past.
But now it suddenly doesn't do that anymore.

Obviously, it's like there's a confusion in my heart, wanting to be myself, but also wanting to do things that are consistent with my identity."

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment.

After a moment, he said:

"I also know that for me, all my thoughts are my original intentions, but who said that those who are innately sacred will never be confused?"

The Supreme Being smiled and said:

"Look, the old Taoist said that you are confused, right?"

"."

"Well, actually, everyone in this world will feel confused, and this is normal. Even the innate saints are no exception. I have also been confused before.

However, it is rare to find someone like you who is confused between humanity and divinity.

The so-called human nature and the so-called divinity are essentially one's own personality.

Being confused about this is just like a god suffering from hysteria and thinking that he should be a mortal.

Do you think it’s rare?”

Too good.

Lin Yuan was silent.

And said:

"What if there really is a mortal who suddenly obtains the status and power of an original divine being?"

Upon hearing this, Tai Shang directly said:
"impossible!"

He looked at Lin Yuan with strange eyes:

"Master Zhenjun, it seems that your problem is really serious to a certain extent. You are actually just as I said.

A god who suffers from hysteria and thinks he is a mortal?"

Lin Yuan didn't care about what he said, he just said:

"Why is it impossible?"

"."

The Supreme was silent.

He was a little confused about the True Lord Erlang in front of him.

Are you teasing him again?
An innate divine being, or the most original divine being in chaos.

I really can suffer from this kind of hysteria.

Do you think you should be a mortal?!

It's so ridiculous!
"Your Excellency, are you trying to tell me that you were originally a mortal, but for some reason, you suddenly became an original god?"

Lin Yuan nodded.

"."

Tai Shang was silent again.

He saw from Lin Yuan's actions and gaze.

All I can see is honesty.

There was no sign of teasing him!

Should we say that this Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun has great acting skills? He even fooled himself?

"True Lord, do you think this is reasonable? A mortal suddenly possesses, and perfectly possesses, the original divine status and power."

"It's just a fantasy!"

Lin Yuan said:
"Everything is possible."

The Supreme sneered:

“Indeed, everything is possible, but do you know what the original sacredness represents? Let’s not talk about the original sacredness, let’s talk about the innate sacredness in the chaotic heavens.

Even if it is the innate sacredness of those weak worlds, it is impossible for a mortal to suddenly and perfectly carry everything of them. "

"If that mortal really perfectly carries everything of an innate divine being, it can only mean one thing!"

"That means that mortal is not a mortal at all, but the innate divine!"

"It's just that for some reason, he split his consciousness."

Lin Yuan frowned and said:
"According to what you said, the consciousness of that mortal should have been assimilated by the innate divine nature long ago after receiving the power."

The Supreme Way:
"How can it be assimilated? The old Taoist said that for the innate sacred, all thoughts and intentions are the original heart!"

He looked at Lin Yuan and said:

"Master Zhen, what you are struggling with is completely meaningless. Accept your true self and your heart, and you will naturally get the answer."

Lin Yuan said:
"I can actually understand what you said, but how easy is it to accept my true self?"

Tai Shang was silent for a moment.

But suddenly it dawned on me:

"I have finally figured it out. True Lord is really just teasing me.

Your so-called experiment on this stone monkey is essentially the process of the True Lord completely accepting his true self?"

Lin Yuan said:
"You can understand that."

The Supreme sighed:

"This world really can't escape the fate of becoming an experimental site. First it was Taiqing Daozu, and now it's Zhenjun. What kind of magic is this world that attracts beings like you to come here to conduct experiments one after another?"

Lin Yuan remained silent.

The Supreme Way:
"Forget it, forget it, let you guys play as you please. I, the old Taoist, just want to wait for the fifth Creator to appear. The True Lord's actions may also be helping me to be liberated sooner. I should thank the True Lord."

After saying that, he bowed to Lin Yuan and disappeared.

Tai Shang left.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the spot, his eyes deep.

Everything the Supreme said.

Was he really unaware?

He had actually noticed it a long time ago.

I just don't want to think about it.

But now Tai Shang has put those things directly on the table.

He thought of the inhuman world.

"Lin Yuan, Lin Erlang."

“My true self.”

"How easy is it to accept my true self?"

shook his head.

Lin Yuan didn't think too much about it. In short, that's all.

He had already decided.

Verify everything through the arrangements made on Wukong.

And this time.

He also saw Fangcun Mountain in the distance.

The figure of Wukong coming towards this side excitedly.

It seemed as if Wukong had the wind under his feet and he rushed to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain without stopping for a moment.

The scenery in the mountains was quiet and peaceful, and the aura was thick, but he had no time to appreciate it. He hurried all the way to where Lin Yuan was practicing.

"Master! Master!"

Before he got close, Wukong's anxious shouts could be heard from afar.

Lin Yuan looked at him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile.

"Goku, you're here."

Wukong took a quick step forward, fell to his knees with a plop, and said anxiously:
"Master, I came back this time to ask you something. Do you still remember the stick I used in the illusion? I can't forget it. I'm really curious about what kind of treasure it is and where I can find it."

Lin Yuan looked at Wukong's anxious expression and couldn't help but burst into laughter. He said slowly:

"That stick is called the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and it is the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. This treasure weighs 13,500 kilograms, can change size at will, and has infinite power."

When Wukong heard this, his eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement. He stood up quickly, rubbing his hands and saying:
"It turns out to be the treasure of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea! I will go and ask for it now. With it, I will be able to better protect Huaguo Mountain and safeguard the people of the world!"

After that, he turned around and left.

"Wukong, wait."

Lin Yuan hurriedly called him and his expression became serious.

"Although you have realized the Ape Realm and have some magical powers, the journey to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea is long. I will teach you some transformation techniques and ways to travel quickly, which will also help you."

When Wukong heard this, he was overjoyed. He immediately knelt down again, kowtowed three times respectfully, and said:

"Thank you, Master! I will never forget your kindness!"

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, muttered something, and taught Wukong the secrets of the Seventy-two Transformations and the Somersault Cloud.

Wukong was a very intelligent man, and he understood things quickly. He listened attentively, memorizing every word and gesture in his mind.

Wukong closed his eyes and circulated his spiritual power according to the mantra. In an instant, his body began to change.

One moment it turned into a majestic tiger, howling to the sky, the next moment it turned into a light bird, flapping its wings and flying high, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a smart fish, swimming happily in the water...

He kept changing his form, and each change was vivid and breathtaking.

After learning the seventy-two transformations, Wukong began to learn the somersault cloud.

He followed Lin Yuan's instructions, stomped his feet lightly, chanted a spell, and instantly clouds appeared under his feet. The whole person was like a golden lightning, rushing straight into the sky.

With a somersault, it flew ten thousand miles away and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye, leaving only a gorgeous cloud.

"Hahahaha, this is wonderful! This is wonderful!"

Wukong somersaulted in the air and shouted with excitement.

He returned to the ground, came in front of Lin Yuan, and knelt down to thank him again.

"Master, I have learned these two magical powers. Now I will go to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to obtain the golden hoop!"

Goku said confidently.

Lin Yuan looked at Wukong meaningfully:

"Wukong, be careful when you go to the East China Sea. Although the golden cudgel is extremely powerful, it is not easy to obtain. You need to rely on your wisdom and courage to fight for it. Remember not to take it by force."

"Master, don't worry. It's just the East China Sea. I am very capable now!"

Wukong smiled proudly, then used his somersault cloud to fly towards the East China Sea.

Lin Yuan shook his head:

"It's hard to change this monkey's nature, but no matter what, as long as he can remember to do good, the rest doesn't matter."

"And over in the East China Sea."

Lin Yuan snapped his fingers and an incarnation shot out like lightning, reaching the East China Sea one step ahead of Wukong.

Wukong rode his somersault cloud all the way towards the East China Sea at lightning speed.

His heart was full of anticipation of obtaining the golden cudgel, and he performed his seventy-two transformations from time to time along the way. Sometimes he turned into a roc, overlooking the mountains and rivers from high in the sky, and sometimes he turned into a fish, diving into rivers, lakes, and feeling the agility of the water.

Have a great time.

Soon, he arrived at the East China Sea.

I saw the sea was surging, the waves were huge, and the wind was howling and sweeping in.

When Wukong landed on the shore, he looked at the boundless ocean and a feeling of pride surged in his heart.

He shouted:
"Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, here I come!"

The voice was as loud as a bell, causing ripples on the sea water.

However, the only response he got was the roar of the waves.

Wukong waited for a while, but saw no movement. He became impatient and shouted again:
"Old Dragon King, why don't you come out and see me quickly!"

Still no one answered.

Wukong immediately scratched his head:
"Is this old Dragon King afraid of me, Sun? Well, I will go meet him myself!"

He suddenly transformed into a giant sea turtle and dived into the seabed.

The underwater world is colorful, with all kinds of strange creatures shuttling among the corals.

Wukong had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery. He swam quickly towards the direction of the Dragon Palace according to his memory.

After a while, a magnificent palace appeared in front of us.

The palace gate was closed, with majestic soldiers and generals standing on both sides.

Wukong changed back to his original form, strode to the door, raised his hand and punched it. With two "bangs", the door made a buzzing sound.

"Who is acting so arrogantly here?"

A shrimp soldier poked his head out tremblingly, and was so scared when he saw Wukong's ferocious appearance that he almost fainted.

"Go and inform your Dragon King that the Monkey King Sun Wukong from the Flower-Fruit Mountain is here to visit you. Tell him to come out and greet you!"

Wukong said loudly, his hands on his hips.

The shrimp soldier did not dare to delay and hurried in to report.

Not long after, the palace gate slowly opened, and the Dragon King Ao Guang walked out surrounded by a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

He was dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe, with a dazzling crown on his head, and looked majestic.

"You naughty monkey, what are you doing here in my Dragon Palace in the East China Sea?" Ao Guang asked unhappily, frowning.

Wukong grinned, revealing his big white teeth:

"Old Dragon King, I heard that you have a treasure called the Ruyi Jingu Bang. I came here to ask for it. I hope you will help me."

Ao Guang's face darkened and he flatly refused:

"This golden cudgel is the Dinghai magic needle of my Dragon Palace. I will never give it to you!"

When Wukong heard this, he became extremely anxious and subconsciously clenched his fists. The hair on his body stood up slightly with excitement.

But at this moment, he remembered the teachings of his master Lin Yuan, took a deep breath, suppressed the impulse in his heart, and said earnestly:
"Dragon King, I am willing to work for you, whether it is guarding the Dragon Palace or subduing the evil beasts in the sea. As long as you are willing to give me the golden hoop, I will definitely go through fire and water!"

Ao Guang frowned, unmoved:
"No, this treasure is related to the safety of the Dragon Palace and cannot be given to others easily."

Wukong was so anxious that he scratched his head and turned around twice, then said sincerely:
"Dragon King, think about it, I hold this golden cudgel to protect the people of the world. The world is full of disasters and sufferings. With this treasure, I can better subdue demons and protect the people. This is also for the peace of the three realms!"

Ao Guang still shook his head with a firm attitude.

Wukong had no choice but to leave Dragon Palace temporarily.

But he was really unwilling to give up. He rolled his eyes and while no one was paying attention, he transformed himself into a tiny shrimp soldier and sneaked back to the Dragon Palace.

He searched everywhere in the Dragon Palace and finally found a huge pillar emitting strange light in a deep treasure house. He thought that this must be the Dinghai Shenzhen Golden Cudgel.

Wukong was delighted and immediately used magic to conjure up an identical ordinary pillar and placed it in its place, then reached out to take the golden cudgel.

But at the moment he touched the golden hoop, the entire Dragon Palace suddenly shook and the surrounding sea water surged violently.

"Humph, I knew you would come and steal!"

The Dragon King's cold snort came from all directions, and then a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, armed with weapons, surrounded Wukong.

Wukong knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't hurt anyone. Instead, he shouted:

"Dragon King, I really need this golden cudgel. How can I get it?"

The Dragon King looked at Wukong who was surrounded and saw how persistent he was, so he said:
"Do you really want this treasure so much?"

Wukong nodded as if pounding garlic.

Dragon King Dao:
"Well, I'll give you a chance!"

Wukong was overjoyed:

"Just give your orders, Dragon King! As long as it doesn't harm the people, I will definitely be able to do it!"
