Takeaways are everywhere, and the big guys are crazy about me

Chapter 346: Not Giving Up Yet

Nezha rushed over excitedly and hugged Ling Feng directly: "Thank you." He was willing to choose him.

"What are you talking about, Third Prince? You are the little hero in our hearts." A melody suddenly sounded in Mo Qianxun's mind.

"That's right. We have another song that's just for you."

"Write my song" Nezha's eyes were filled with confusion.

"It's him, it's him, that's him, our hero, little Nezha!" Lu Tao sang it out loud.

Now it was Nezha's turn to be shy.

"How come there is a song written specifically for me?" Am I really that great? Ao Bing really deserved his death.

Ao Bing: ...No, no one speaks for me?

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother looked at Nezha, who was about to fly to the sky because of the praise, and could not help but interrupt them: "Alright, if you keep praising him, he will be even more ignorant of the heaven and the earth. He is just a little devil in the heaven."

"He is the little devil in Heaven, but he is also a powerful force in Heaven, isn't he?" Mo Qianxun suddenly thought of something and looked at the Jade Emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have a question that has been puzzling me for a long time. I hope Your Majesty can help me solve it."

"Oh? What is it?"

"It is said that Tang Monk's journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures was a great calamity, marking the rise of Buddhism and the decline of Taoism. However, I observe that most people in heaven are Taoists. Then, is it true that allowing Buddhism to enter the country and spread rapidly was just to complete this great calamity?" Mo Qianxun asked his doubts.

The Jade Emperor didn't expect Mo Qianxun to ask such a sharp question. He was stunned for two seconds: "So, in your heart, what do you think?"

"I don't know, but I can tell you what our people are speculating about this Journey to the West catastrophe."

"Oh? Interesting, then tell me about it?" The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother became interested.

Mo Qianxun looked at his time and there was still half an hour left.

"The first one is that when Daozu Hongjun ascended to heaven, he blew up the spiritual veins of the West, so he owed the West a favor. The Journey to the West Calamity was a calamity planned by Daozu Hongjun to repay the West for this favor."

The Jade Emperor's eyes flickered: "What's the other one?"

"Another possibility is that Buddhism schemed against Taoism, allowing Taoism to contribute manpower and manpower to promote the rise of Buddhism."

The Jade Emperor was stunned for two seconds, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, you younger generations sometimes see things more clearly than some old gods."

"So, Your Majesty, which one is it?"

The Jade Emperor stood up, with his back to them, and raised his head, not knowing what he was thinking: "According to your calculations, it should be considered a combination of the two!"

"So it's really because of favors, because of calculation?"

"Yes! When Patriarch Hongjun ascended to heaven, he did blow up the spiritual veins in the west, causing the spiritual energy in the west to dissipate on a large scale. In order to preserve the west, Patriarch Hongjun planned to let them preach in the Central Plains, but who knew that they would use this as an excuse to select people in my heavenly court? At that time, we were in the wrong, so what else could we do? It was not until Tang Seng and his disciples completed their journey to obtain the scriptures and looked at the temple with flowers blooming everywhere and incense burning everywhere that we realized what a big mistake we had made. However, the mistake has been made and we are powerless to turn the tide."

The Jade Emperor regretted his past actions. He spoke to Buddhism with sincerity, and Buddhism spoke to him with its heart.

Mo Qianxun and the others looked at the Jade Emperor with complicated eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Your Majesty, you must have forgotten how all those gods and Buddhas on Lingshan came from. The Tathagata was originally our Taoist Duobao Taoist, the Guanyin was originally our Taoist Cihang Taoist, and the ancient Buddha Dipankara was originally our Taoist Dipankara Taoist. You actually believe in these people who have betrayed Taoism once?" I really don't know whether to say that you are too naive or too stupid.

Jade Emperor: ...Alas.

"It's too late to say anything now."

"I heard that the closer you get to the sacred mountain, the more ferocious the monsters become? Could Buddhism have developed into this state?"

"Why? Is Buddhism not developing well over there?"

"Well... not really. It's just that we have a saying over there: Buddhism spreads in prosperous times, while Taoism goes down in troubled times; the Three Pure Ones only need clay bodies, but the Buddha requires gold to cross over."

The Jade Emperor's expression eased a little: "It seems that Buddhism was not very popular in your era!"

"It's OK. In our era, how should I put it? Before we got the ability to travel through time and space, we believed in science. Gods, demons and monsters were all feudal superstitions to us. Besides, we Chinese people only burn incense and worship Buddha when we have something to do. It can be regarded as a last-minute effort. However, Taoism has become more popular in recent years."

The Jade Emperor's eyes became brighter. Is there hope for the rise of their Taoism?

"It is said that the Laojun Temple on Laojun Mountain is very effective. I have always wanted to go there to worship, but I never found the time." Chen Min shook his head with some regret.

"Why bother worshipping in the Laojun Temple? We can worship the deities there in person." Mo Qianxun poked her shoulder.

Chen Min's eyes lit up: "Really? I'll go and worship when I have time."

"Okay, let's get back to the point. Erlang Shen and Nezha have already told me what you said before. I want to ask, is the news true?"

The expressions on Mo Qianxun's faces also became very serious: "Your Majesty, it's true. We are already actively building a defense system because our world will be the first battlefield of this war. Therefore, we must speed up the improvement of our attack and defense capabilities."

The Queen Mother suddenly snorted coldly: "Humph, it seems that those people have not given up on invading our world. That's right, after all, they have deployed so many clones in our universe."

Mo Qianxun and the others looked at the Queen Mother in confusion: "My Queen, what do you mean by this? Do they have clones in our universe?"

"Otherwise, what do you think of those hairy gods that suddenly appeared?"

Ling Feng was stunned for two seconds: "Can you tolerate this?"

"Of course I can't stand it, but sometimes it's fun to watch dogs fight each other, so we sealed their memories. Now, they only remember the memories of surviving in this world, but not the memories of their original bodies. Even if they encounter their original bodies in the future, the enhanced memory blockade will only allow them to unlock their memories before they die."

The four people looked at the Jade Emperor in shock. No, just now they thought that the Jade Emperor was a naive person, but now it seems that he is not a naive person at all, he is obviously a big conspirator.

No, if you have this intelligence, why didn’t you do anything about the catastrophe in Journey to the West?

Jade Emperor: Do you think I don’t want to? I just can’t help it.
