Chapter 148 Past Events and the Crazy Monk
Originally, this city was only spread by word of mouth among humans and some nearby monsters, but since the immortals recaptured the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor sent everyone to perform their duties and recruited some creatures to heaven as immortals.
Later, the City God, the Land God, the Kitchen God, etc. were sent here, so they found the abnormality here and reported it to the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor heard it and understood that this place must have been here before Shichen, so he set up a ban here, and no one with evil thoughts was allowed to approach, which led to the current grand occasion.
Then he retrieved the timeline of the city here, and indeed saw the traces of Shichen in the time, which was why he did not deliberately hide it.
After understanding everything, the Jade Emperor made arrangements directly. This is where the great gods descended. Any god passing by here must descend from the clouds and walk over, and must not fly directly from above, otherwise it would be a contempt for the Heavenly Palace.
It must be said that the Jade Emperor is very good at being a man, although Shichen does not care about this.
The issuance of this heavenly rule aroused the curiosity of all the immortals and gods. All the immortals and gods came to see what kind of mortal city could make the Heaven Court personally establish a new heavenly rule.
However, these immortals and gods who came to join in the fun were not ignorant. They descended from the clouds and walked into the city in person.
The mortals in Fuyang City didn't feel anything, after all, they didn't know that the people around them were immortals and gods, but it was hard for some good monsters here.
Every day, watching the big guys come here and walk past them with a smile on their faces, how can they not be afraid.
Although they also know that they and other monsters have not done evil, and they don't look down on their little monsters, they can't stand being so scared.
Just ask, a god with great cultivation and supernatural powers walks around in front of you, a little monster, all day long. Even if you know that he is not here to catch you, but you are born with a different position, how can you not be afraid?
The Jade Emperor was quite helpless when he heard about this, but it was not easy to chase people away. After all, everyone just came to watch the fun and did not disturb the mortals here. It just scared some small monsters living here. It was not a big deal, so let them go.
After Shichen learned about all the things that happened here, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.
At the beginning, he just wanted to prevent this place from being invaded by evil spirits, and this place was indeed destined to be with him, so he set up a ban here to protect the people of one side, but he didn't expect it to develop like this, but it was not a bad thing.
After looking at the city, Shichen planned to enter and stroll around. Anyway, he would stay in the chat group when he went back, so he might as well take a look in this mortal world.
He returned to the familiar restaurant again, but unfortunately, things had changed. The original boss had been replaced by his son. The so-called son inherits the father's business, that's it.
And the two people he asked at the time now have their own families, and they may have long forgotten him as a passerby. This is the world of mortals.
For immortals, dozens or hundreds of years are just a nap, but for mortals, it is a lifetime, enough to make many things change.
I didn't think so much in the chat group before, because with the ability of the chat group, everyone can chat at the same time, and the time in each world is different, so there are not so many feelings.
Now that he has come here and personally experienced the situation of mortals, he has these feelings.
"No wonder the original body has to reincarnate. Only by becoming a real mortal can he truly understand what the Tao is. This is an indispensable link." Shi Chen held the wine glass in his hand, thinking about the original body's actions in his heart, and felt that he was much worse than the original body.
"Tao, this word has attracted countless people. Although I have reached the top, I find that this is just a new starting point." Shi Chen looked up at the sky, as if he saw the end of the Tao, what kind of scene it was.
For countless years, even since the beginning of time, no one knew what the end of the avenue was. Even the avenue did not know what its end was. The word "Tao" runs through everything in the heavens and the worlds.
"Forget it, these are things that the main body needs to consider. What does it have to do with me?" Shaking his head, Shichen slowly drank the wine in his mouth.
"Hey, my friend, can you please have a drink too?" At this time, a voice came, and Shichen couldn't help but look.
I saw a sloppy and unkempt man appear in front of me. He was wearing monk's clothes, but he had long hair. The monk's clothes were full of holes, and there was almost no good one. There were traces of sewing and patching everywhere.
If it was just a little tattered, it would be fine, but this guy was so smelly and sloppy that the guests around him couldn't help but stay away from him.
Shichen laughed when he saw this. He didn't dislike him, but said with a smile: "You monk, how can a monk drink? Also, take your hand that stole my chicken leg from it."
As he said that, Shichen stretched out his hand and slapped the other party, but it was too late. Five black handprints suddenly appeared on the originally greasy chicken leg.
"Forget it, forget it, I'll give you the chicken leg." Looking at the five black handprints on it, Shichen no longer had the desire to eat it, so he simply gave it to the monk.
"Thank you, benefactor!" The monk thanked him and didn't care about anything else. He just grabbed it and started to eat it. While eating, he picked up the wine pot on the table and drank it. Shichen was upset. He hadn't agreed to let him drink yet.
Shaking his head, he didn't care about him. He was just a little curious about why this guy came here.
Of course he knew this person, but he had only heard of him, but he had never really met him. Now he really met him. It was just like the legend. His sloppy appearance made people feel bad.
"Monk, you drink and eat meat. How can you be a monk?" Shichen saw that he had eaten a lot, so he smiled and said.
"Burp"
"Haha, I'm sorry to make you laugh. As the saying goes, wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha stays in the heart. As long as there is Buddha in the heart, no matter what I do, I will be devoted to Buddha." The monk burped when he heard this, and then wiped the corner of his mouth and smiled.
"You are a good monk at making excuses. I have met your Buddha several times. I will definitely mention you in front of him when I get back."
"What?!" The monk was startled when he heard this, then thought about it and realized that this was not right. This was just an ordinary person. How could he be scared by him? Then he recovered.
At this time, Shichen's divine power was restrained. Even if Tathagata was here, he would only be a mortal, let alone this guy.
"Don't joke, benefactor. I am devoted to Buddhism." Shaking his head, the monk said with a smile.
"Then you have been talking for so long, but you haven't asked for your Dharma name yet?" Shichen didn't care, but asked with interest.
"I am a monk from Lingyin Temple in West Lake, and my Dharma name is Daoji!"
