Chapter 196 Invite Deng Chanyu to heaven to be an official?

Deng Chanyu smiled and saluted an old man with a white beard. "I am Deng Chanyu. May I ask the name of this old immortal?"

"Haha." The white-bearded old man laughed before he even spoke, and said cheerfully, "I am Taibai Jinxing of the West. I have long heard that you are both talented in literature and martial arts, have a deep affinity with others, and are a disciple of a saint. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed extraordinary. In my opinion, you have perfected your Taoism and have accumulated great merits. You are a person of first-class blessings. I wonder if you would like to serve as an official in heaven?"

Deng Chanyu quickly refused: "Becoming an official? Haha, Old Star Lord, you must be joking. Chanyu's cultivation is shallow, and my moral character is insufficient. The most important thing is that I have an impatient temper. I'm afraid I can't become an official."

She now has the support of the saint, and a small official position cannot satisfy her.

If she agrees as soon as someone asks her to, that's too low. She should refuse and decline three times before doing it.
Taibai Jinxing said with a serious tone, "My friend, you must understand that there is a great deal of knowledge in the balance between movement and stillness. Haste corresponds to slowness, speed corresponds to slowness; the two complement each other. Haste is not necessarily a bad thing, but slowness can easily lead to missed opportunities."

His words imply that if you come early, you will enjoy the benefits early, and if you come late, you will miss out on a good position.

Deng Chanyu is really not afraid of this, does Nuwa Benwa know about it?
The appearance of Taibai Jinxing, the good guy, is a bit of a disguise.

Seriously speaking, Taibai Jinxing's official position is to be in charge of killing and war. The old man looks skinny and humble, but his actual divine position is the god of war, and he is very good at fighting!

Now, I have to change from hard to soft. This is also a last resort. Heaven does not encourage killing these things. If you continue to kill, can you kill more than the Styx? The Styx has gone crazy with killing!

Deng Chanyu was quite resourceful and flattered Taibai Jinxing's approach of combining hardness and softness.

"The old star master's teachings are very true. Chanyu was fortunate to meet the Taiqing Saint last time, and then with the Taiqing Saint..."

Although Taibai Jinxing has Haotian as his backer, he also knows Haotian's status in the eyes of the saints. When he heard Deng Chanyu mention Taiqing, he couldn't help but prick up his ears and wanted to listen more.

He had no chance to listen to the teachings of the saint, but with the help of others' retelling, he might be able to get a glimpse of the saint's path.

The Yin-Yang Dao of the Sage Taiqing was infinitely superior to the immature Dao of the combination of hardness and softness of Taibai Jinxing. He really wanted to hear what the Sage had to say.

Deng Chanyu changed the subject: "Then I chatted with the Taiqing Saint's cow for a while."

Nuwa from the Wahuang Palace almost laughed out loud. Taibai Jinxing's expression was also very strange. He smacked his lips and said, "Don't look down on others. They are awesome, so be it. They are the awesomeness of saints. Their understanding of the Tao is far beyond that of Taibai Jinxing."

Deng Chanyu didn't continue teasing the old man and got straight to the point. "Fellow Daoist Qingniu said back then, 'The reason the universe endures so long is because it doesn't generate itself, and therefore it can live forever.' It's because we don't seek immortality that we can achieve it. When it's time to break through, break through. There's no need to deliberately pursue so-called perfection. Eat when it's time to eat, go with the flow, and don't go against your heart."

Taibai Jinxing frowned and thought for a moment. "Young friend, are you saying that I've been too focused on combining hardness and softness, and have ended up going astray?"

Deng Chanyu waved her hands repeatedly: "I don't understand the old star master's way, I just relayed the conversation between me and fellow Taoist Qingniu that day."

In fact, in her opinion, Taibai Jinxing had definitely gone astray. Going with the flow was the fundamental principle of Taoist cultivation. If you didn't even want your own fundamental principles, then what was the point of cultivating the Dao? Just go and reincarnate.

Although they were just strangers, she was still mainly concerned about Taibai Jinxing's insights into the way of killing.

There are aspects of Taibai Jinxing's way of killing that are worth learning from, so she used the "Ox of the Sage Taiqing" to stimulate discussion.

Knowledge is priceless, especially when it comes from a saint. Taibai Jinxing received her guidance, and even if he might not necessarily pursue "nature" as she said, he should not be stingy.

He then briefly recounted his understanding of war and killing back then.

Deng Chanyu didn't talk much about the way of saints, but instead shared with Taibai Jinxing the many insights she had when the Styx "merged with the Tao" that day.

Minghe was mad, but the knowledge he possessed was still knowledge. Minghe's path to slaughter differed from Taibai Jinxing's, he had clearly gone further and deeper. To Taibai Jinxing, this knowledge was already profound.

After being interrupted by her, Taibai Jinxing forgot about his official position in heaven. When he wanted to bring it up again, the heavenly soldiers and generals all entered the scene, including Lord Haotian and Queen Mother Yaochi.

Both of them were born as children of the Taoist Ancestor, so even saints have to call them junior brothers and sisters. Within the Three Realms, their status allows them to entertain any immortal without any problem.

Haotian sat in the main seat, with the Queen Mother sitting next to him, and below them were many immortals.

The two masters sat down and all the immortals came out.

The current rules cannot be compared with those during Journey to the West.

During the Journey to the West, Taishang Laojun stood in the middle, performing a salute, while civil and military officials stood on both sides, kneeling in worship.

There is nothing here now, it's all noisy and everyone can just stand wherever they want.

The slogans they shouted were also very messy.

"Greetings, Great Celestial Lord." Those who called out like this were Deng Chanyu and Yunxiao, which was considered quite formal.

Someone shouted "Meet Uncle Master" loudly, this is Zhao Gongming
Some people shouted "Meetings to the Supreme and Ultimate Jade Emperor of the Golden Palace of Haotian, the Natural and Wonderful Miro, the Ultimate True Jade Emperor". This was too much flattery and it was not known whether he would get into trouble. Anyway, according to Deng Chanyu's observation, Haotian himself did not like being called that in this occasion.

The remaining one was just mumbling to himself with his head down, and that was Bixiao.

There are also a few who don't make any sound at all, and the representative immortal is Qingluan.

There were all kinds of shouting, and the scene was in chaos.

Haotian didn't take it seriously. With a smile on his face, he waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please stand up."

At this time, there was no one in the Heavenly Palace serving wine, pouring wine, or serving food. Fortunately, there were not many guests, and the situation could be maintained with the few heavenly soldiers and generals that were there.

The peaches that ripen once every nine thousand years were served. Deng Chanyu saw the barefoot immortal pick one up and eat it, so she didn't hesitate and took a big bite with a whoosh.

I have to say that the peaches that ripen once every nine thousand years are better than those that ripen once every three thousand years. The taste and water-based energy are both better. Unfortunately, each immortal can only give one.

She looked around and it seemed that Yaochi Fairyland was not the place for a banquet hosted by Taozi.
Her burps now all smell like peaches. She just burps them one at a time and eats the peaches in two or three bites. Then she practices the Mysterious Sutra of the Old Mother of Mount Li.

She closed her eyes and dissipated the water energy in the peaches, which increased her magic power by half. When she opened her eyes, some gods were still practicing magic, while others had already started drinking.

The Heavenly Song and Dance Troupe had not yet been established, so only Chang'e and two fairies could perform.

The three fairy dances seem a bit monotonous.

The barefoot immortal from the atmosphere group cheered on the side, and the giant spirit god and others also had an expression of fascination, as if they had never seen anyone dancing in their entire life.
