In the work "Seven Fairies of Joy", there is an unsolved mystery: the Queen Mother has always held power in the heavenly court, and the Jade Emperor has never shown up, so where did the Jade Emperor go?
One of the most common views is that the Jade Emperor has been sacrificed.
Many years ago, the Jade Emperor paid a huge price in order to conquer the Yin Eclipse King. Despite his imprisonment of the Eclipse King in a dark cave, the Jade Emperor heroically sacrificed his life in battle.
But did the Jade Emperor really pay the price with his life?It doesn't have to be this way.
In fact, three scenes in the play have revealed that the Jade Emperor did not actually die.
The first scene description.
After Zi'er was deboned, the Queen Mother specially incarnated as Yue Lao and came to the world to advise Zi'er in order to make her return to heaven.
In the process of convincing Zi'er from Yuelao (the Queen Mother), she unexpectedly encounters the land. Although the land warmly greets the old moon (the queen mother becomes), the old moon does not seem to be interested in the land.
The land didn't know that Yue Lao was changed from the Queen Mother, so he had a misunderstanding about Yue Lao.
Yue Lao seemed to have completely ignored the past of cultivating with him, and when he was promoted to the rank of Immortal, he didn't pay attention to people.
Therefore, the land had the idea of revenge against Yue Lao, and he looked for the fourth princess Lu'er, hoping that Lu Er would recommend him as Yue Lao in front of the Jade Emperor.
From the conversation between the land and the green child, we can infer that the Jade Emperor did not die. Otherwise, when the land intercedes with Lu'er, why does Lu'er say, as long as you can do me a favor, I will recommend you in front of my father?
This is the second scenario.
The dwarf Eclipse King once disguised himself as a young imperial chef and worked with Clairvoyant and Downwind Ear to explore the Jade Emperor's whereabouts.
He first blew a rainbow fart to the clairvoyant and Shunfeng Ear, and then asked the question he was most concerned about: "Two Great Immortals, where is the Jade Emperor?"When I was still alive, I always heard the name of the Jade Emperor. ”
It took a lot of effort for Clairvoyant to get praise from the people, and just as he was about to reveal the location of the Jade Emperor, Shunfeng Ear stopped him and said: "Jade Emperor, the matter of the Jade Emperor, he, even if you tell him, you will not understand, he, you can't find him." ”
After listening to Shunfeng Ear and Clairvoyant's words, the Yin Eclipse King muttered in a low voice, "Isn't the Jade Emperor a member of the Heavenly Court?"”
Shunfeng Ear and Clairvoyant watched the Yin Eclipse King keep asking about the Jade Emperor's whereabouts, and became vigilant, so they asked the dwarf Yin Eclipse King in turn: "What are you asking the Jade Emperor to do?."As a Heavenly Chef Immortal, you will never be qualified to meet the Jade Emperor. ”
It can be inferred from the Eclipse King's questioning of Shunfeng Ear and Clairvoyant about the Jade Emperor's whereabouts that the Jade Emperor is still alive and has not suffered any sacrifices.
This is the third scenario.
The strength of the Eclipse King has risen dramatically, bringing great disasters to the human world. The Queen Mother descended on earth and tried to capture him, but in an inn, the King of Eclipse took the Queen Mother's scepter.
In order to retrieve the scepter, the Queen Mother and the Eclipse King fought fiercely in the sky. The Yin Eclipse King didn't want to hurt the Queen Mother, so he said, "Senior sister, I will keep your distance and let me settle past grievances with the Jade Emperor." ”
From what the Yin Eclipse King said, we can infer that the Jade Emperor is not actually dead, otherwise the relationship between the Yin Eclipse King and him would be complicated!
Since the Jade Emperor has not died, where did he go?
From the brief conversation between the Eclipse King and the Queen Mother, we may be able to boldly infer that the Jade Emperor may have been severely injured during the previous blockade of the Eclipse King, and therefore had to enter retreat to recover his spells.
Regarding the specific location of cultivation, Heavenly Court has issued a clear ban on anyone from revealing it, and if this is not done, the demons and monsters will know about it, which will undoubtedly bring chaos to Heavenly Court.
Another possibility is that the Jade Emperor has descended to the world and experienced a series of catastrophes, which is the same as described in "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", the identity of the emperor is extremely noble, and as the co-master of the universe, he needs to come to the world every once in a while to carry out catastrophes.
The final guess is that after the Jade Emperor successfully subdued the Yin Eclipse King and the catastrophe of the Heavenly Court, he began his journey around the world.
