Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Women are fickle.

Ji Ren has always been aware of this, but today he felt it most deeply.

It was noon and the sun was shining into the wooden house from the window.

The Moon Goddess slowly stood up, her long black hair falling down to cover her beautiful back as white as jade. From her mouth at 37 degrees, she spoke at minus 30 degrees, "Yesterday, I was confused by the Dharma. Everything I did was caused by the Dharma. It was not our original intention. You don't need to worry about it, and you don't need to be responsible."

"Really?"

Ji Ren looked at the Moon Goddess and thought, scumbag, once she puts on clothes, she is tough.

"Really? It was Chang'e yesterday, not me." The Moon Goddess looked at Ji Ren's muscular chest and thought about yesterday's madness. She felt a little shy but pretended to be cold.

"I see. Okay, then help me with one more thing." Ji Ren said as he stood up.

"You say." The Moon Goddess's red lips moved slightly, but before she finished speaking, she fell into Ji Ren's arms again. Her face turned pale and she screamed, "Ji Ren!"

"Don't call me Ji Ren, I'm Hou Yi." Ji Ren looked at the Moon God and said seriously, "I'm controlled by the Dharma Image, please help me practice!"

Upon hearing this, the Moon Goddess' beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

what are you saying?

Listen carefully to what you say. Who was it that you swore yesterday that you would not be controlled by the Dharma?

How could you say so many things against your conscience?

Ji Ren looked indifferent. He respected the Moon Goddess and believed in her. He felt that what the Moon Goddess said was right. However, he was now controlled by Hou Yi's Dharma Image and had no choice.

It’s all Houyi’s fault.

He severely condemned it.

Another night of fish and dragon dance.

The next day, the Moon Goddess put on her clothes and became tough again.

Then there was another night of desperate fighting.

On the third day, the Moon Goddess put on her clothes, but her tone was no longer so tough.

But they still fought a desperate battle all night.

On the fourth day, the Moon Goddess put on her clothes and her tone gradually softened.

But they still fought desperately all night.

……

After an unknown number of days, Yue Shen lay weakly on Ji Ren's chest and said, "I won't go back to Guanjiangkou with you. Don't tell Qingyu and the others about our affairs for now."

She surrendered.

In other words, following your heart is the truest choice.

"Call me husband." Ji Ren looked at the Moon Goddess and said jokingly.

"Ji Ren!" Moon Goddess raised her eyebrows.

Ji Ren lay on the bed, still looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. It didn't matter, it was just a matter of fighting for another three hundred rounds.

Seeing Ji Ren like this, Yue Shen's cheeks turned redder. Before this moment, she had never thought of calling someone like this in her life, but now she had no choice but to whisper, "Husband."

The voice was as soft as a mosquito's cry. If Ji Ren was not an absolute Golden Immortal, he might not be able to hear it clearly.

"Yeah." Ji Ren responded contentedly. He felt that he was about to reach the level of Daluo Jinxian.

Looking at the red face of the Moon Goddess, Ji Ren couldn't help but said, "Your voice is too soft, I didn't hear you clearly, call out again!"

The Moon Goddess, who was trying hard to suppress her shyness, listened to Ji Ren's words with her eyes wide open, scanning Ji Ren's body. After a while, she suddenly smiled mischievously: "Okay, you should be able to hear it clearly tonight."

"At night?" Ji Ren raised his eyebrows, vaguely feeling something was wrong. The Moon Goddess was not such a relaxed person.

"That's right, Houyi~" The Moon Goddess looked at Ji Ren with a sweet smile, you like to call me that.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ren immediately stood up straight and said with a righteous look on his face: "Whatever the lady says is what it is. Let's pack up and leave."

He suddenly felt that he was wrong. In fact, women are more powerful when they are naked than when they are dressed.

The Moon Goddess is making fun of her happiness for the rest of her life.

Seeing Ji Ren's reaction, the corners of Yue Shen's mouth slightly raised, man, huh~

After getting dressed, Ji Ren and Yue Shen stood up, walked out of the room, and looked at the stone statue of Hou Yi in the hall. Their expressions were a little subtle. If they had not come here, it would take them hundreds of years to reach this point.

For this, we have to thank Houyi Dharmakāya.

Ji Ren put away Hou Yi's image, took the Moon Goddess's hand, and was about to leave the secret realm.

The void was broken, but as soon as they passed through, they fell into darkness again. Both of them changed, each holding their longbow tightly, looking around vigilantly and sharply.

"Don't look at me, it's me. You two Golden Immortals, don't show off your bows and arrows in front of me. It's like showing off your skills in front of an expert."

Just then, a gentle female voice sounded.

The next moment, a ray of light bloomed in the void, like the first spiritual light at the beginning of the universe, illuminating all living things.

In the light, a graceful goddess slowly appeared, wearing a bright yellow imperial robe, with bright eyes, gentle and kind, as broad as the earth, carrying all things and giving birth to yin and yang. There were also wisps of divine light surging on her body, illuminating all things.

Seeing the person coming, Ji Ren was startled and quickly bowed and said, "Greetings to the Earth Mother."

Although she has never been seen, there is only one female saint who is not Nuwa.

Mother of the Earth, ruler of the underworld, Hou Tu Niangniang.

“No need to be polite.” Empress Hou Tu smiled slightly, looking at Ji Ren gently, and said, “I have been following you for a long time. You have successfully survived the Purple Sky Tribulation, entered the Thunder Lake, shed your immortal body, and transformed into a divine body. You are only one step away from becoming the Dharmakāya of Fuxi. Now I am even more shocked that you were born with two phases and have condensed the Dharmakāya of Houyi.”

"Fuxi? Houyi?"

Ji Ren was shocked when he heard this. This was the first time he heard the name Fuxi since he came here.

Even Lao Tzu only said that there was hope in the depths of Lei Ze, but did not mention the exact name of Fuxi.

And now, Hou Tu is directly talking about Fuxi?

This one knows the truth?

When the incarnation of Emperor Zhenwu came over before, he said that except for Nuwa and Houtu, the other six were like running dogs. In other words, Nuwa and Houtu were not.

Could it be that their Dharma images are also those of ancient gods?

If so, why are they here?

Ji Ren's mind was filled with shock and confusion.

"Yes, Fuxi and Houyi. Fuxi is the thing deep in Lei Ze. Yuanshi should have told you about it, although he only knew the basics. As for Houyi, he is the Dharmakāya that you have condensed now, the Taoist partner of your Taoist partner's Dharmakāya, the former sun-shooting hero. By the way, he is also one of the Taoist partners of your other Taoist partner Zhenya's Dharmakāya, the Goddess of Luo. Speaking of which, Chang'e, Goddess of Luo, you are indeed the natural inheritor of Houyi's Dharmakāya." said the Queen Mother Hou Tu with a smile.

"The hero who shot down the sun? Has the sun ever been shot down? Why have I never heard of it? And when I condensed this Dharma image, why didn't I see the nine-colored light, but only a flash of white light?" Ji Ren pretended to be confused.

“Because the so-called Nine Colors is just the highest level of this lower world. There are some things that you are not supposed to know. Normally, you will have the possibility to know these things after you enter Lei Ze and obtain the inheritance. But it is different now. You have condensed Hou Yi’s Dharma image. Even if you fail in Lei Ze, you can still join my Southern Divine Court.” Queen Hou Tu said with a smile.

"The Southern Divine Court?" Ji Ren looked at Queen Hou Tu in confusion, but his heart was filled with ecstasy. He felt that the biggest doubt he had since coming to the fairyland could now be solved.

"That's right, Shenting." Hou Tu Niangniang nodded affirmatively and said, "We all practice Dharma-image, but what exactly is Dharma-image and where does it come from? Do you know?"

“Wasn’t it created by our master using the laws of heaven and earth?” Ji Ren continued to ask, pretending to be confused.

“If he had this ability, he wouldn’t be trapped in this lower world.” Queen Hou Tu sneered, then her face became serious and she said, “The Dharma images that you and I have condensed now are all from the gods of the previous era.”

"The god from the previous era?" Ji Ren was confused.

"That's right, it's a legend from the previous era. People are born, grow old, get sick and die, and naturally the universe will also have an end to its lifespan. At that time, all the heavens and worlds will end, the heaven and earth will be destroyed, the laws will collapse, the cycle of reincarnation will collapse, and everything will end. The gods will pass away, the spiritual energy will dissipate, and then there will be no immortals or gods in the world. This is the end of the law. Then everything will start over again, and a new era will begin." Queen Hou Tu told the story.

“Then why is our Dharma image the god of the last era? Logically speaking, shouldn’t everything in this era be brand new?” Ji Ren asked puzzledly.

"Because God wants to destroy humans, but humans want to survive. Since the birth of the human race, there have been countless disasters, but in the end they were all overcome by humans. The end of an era is just a new challenge for humans in their long life. So when the last era was destroyed, our ancestors resisted the laws of heaven and survived! And became the gods of this era!" said Hou Tu Niangniang with a touch of sacred glory on her face.

Ji Ren cooperated by showing a shocked expression, but he was thinking in his heart, the person who survived the last calamity has become the god of this calamity!

They were not replaced, but they looked down on the fairy world?
