However, with his kindness and concealment, he has been diligent in practicing the Five Ridges, making the safety and wealth of the people miserable. But it's not enough to be old without children. As soon as truth enters its territory, it will be known that it is sincere and sincere. Huang Lao, a brave man (that is, one of the five old clocks when heaven and earth were opened) said: karma lies. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a saying: What do you really think it is if you devote yourself to pure emptiness, have a virtuous body, and have a son of God, and be designated as a saint of three talents? Huang Lao nodded and immediately blew the wish of Jasper Etta Ursa. This is a baby that fell from the sky. She became a baby. At this time, King Jingde suddenly saw the auspicious light shining in the palace in his bedroom, making it a precious color. There are many etiquette guards who protect a Kowloon chariot and float in the air. Those who sit in the middle and have two wings are all golems. On it, they really hold a child with big ears, thin eyebrows and beautiful eyes, all covered in thin light. The king and queen were very happy. They accepted the gift respectfully and knelt down in front of the road. Erzhen said: I am a fool and have no children. I am willing to ask this child to be my son, but I am sad and willing to listen to Xu. Huang Lao said: this child has extraordinary roots and will prove to be the product of infinite height. You are very good at cultivating it. The king came forward to worship the collar, and the second one was really lifted out of the treasure chair and handed it to him. The king held it in his hand, which was as heavy as a mountain and made him sweat. Suddenly, he thought it was a dream. He called the Queen to speak urgently and saw the same thing. At this point, the king's spirit doubled, and three years later the queen gave birth to a wise prince. Since I was a child, I have left my country to practice Buddhism. After 3200 robberies, I finally got the certificate of Jin Xian, nicknamed "King of Pure Nature".

I've been thinking about myself. Even if I order all the people to hang on the covers of various palaces according to various science and education, I will be clean, I will support the Tao at six o'clock, and I will pray for the truth. It's been half a year, and I won't back down. Suddenly, one night, Bao Yue Moonlight Queen dreamed that she was a Taoist monarch. She was pure with all the real jade, driving five-color dragons and jade, big scenes and bright rose light. On the way to the emperor's father, you are sitting on the jade of the dragon, holding a baby, and your pores are shining with billions of lights. The palace is painted with colorful colors and floats in the air in front of the building. At that time, the queen was filled with joy and respectfully accepted the gift. She knelt down and said, "You said that the king has no son today, and I would like to beg this son to be the Lord of the country, and I would like to be kind and sad. "You said to the queen," I hope you have a special gift. " The queen thanked her. After the Taoist monarch, take it After the queen received it, she fell asleep from her dream and was pregnant for one year. She was born in the palace at noon on the ninth day of March. When I was born, I was beautiful and full of kingdom flavor, and the color was wonderful, which was appreciated by all viewers.
The prince grew up under Min Hui's wisdom and charity, and all the treasures of his country were given away. He was extremely poor and lonely, helpless, hungry and disabled all sentient beings. The song of benevolence and poverty is well-known and far-reaching, and the world worships the noble prince. His father and the king spoke highly of him.
Later, Wang died suddenly. The prince ruled the government, looked down on the floating life, and called the minister to succeed. There is a road to abandon the country in Pumingxiu's rocky mountain, and he successfully built a temple. He was plundered for 800 years and often abandoned his country collectively. Therefore, give up love. After 800 robberies here, we used drugs to treat diseases, save all beings and make them happy. This robbery is exhausted, and it has gone through 800 robberies. It is convenient to travel widely, to open the spiritual seal of the Taoist scriptures, to restore righteousness, to perform magical powers, to save the world and save people, and to be quiet and remarkable.
After that, I will go through 800 robberies, and I will lose face when I die. So I gave up my flesh and blood, so I practiced three thousand two hundred robberies, and I began to levy Jin Xian. On the seventh day, I naturally felt the Tathagata. "

According to The Journey to the West, a mythical novel in the Ming Dynasty, the Jade Emperor was born in the Mesozoic Triassic (about 226.8 million years ago). See the seventh time "Escape from the Great Sage Five Elements Mountain in the Eight Diagrams Furnace":
Hearing this, the Buddha laughed and sneered:
Your fellow is a monkey who has become a fine man. How dare you cheat people and take the jade emperor? He has been practicing since he was a child and has been robbed 1750 times. Every 129600. You calculate, how many years will it take him to enjoy this endless road? You newborn beast, how dare you talk so big! Not the son of man, not the son of man! Fold your life! Convert early, don't talk nonsense! But I'm afraid I'll be killed in an instant, but it's a pity that you are what you are! "

According to the Legend of the Gods compiled by Ou Yangfei, the Jade Emperor was originally a castellan named Zhang You, also known as Zhang Bairen. It is said that since the beginning of time, there has been nothing wrong between heaven and earth. Later, the gods began to fight, and the world was dissolute, which made the three worlds of heaven and earth chaos. So Taibai Venus came down to earth to find a man with both ability and political integrity to be the emperor of the Three Realms. Venus Taibai became a beggar, looking everywhere. Later, when she arrived in Zhangjiawan, she found that Zhang You, known as "Zhang Bairen", managed the village very harmoniously and was kind and compassionate, so she took it back to heaven and became the Jade Emperor. Later, the immortals of the Three Realms invited Zhang Bairen, who was praised as "Heaven Emperor for Life" and called him "Jade Emperor". Because the Jade Emperor is the chief emperor of the Three Realms, he is also called "Jade Emperor" or "Jade Emperor God".
