I was startled by Xiao Qin's words, and my head was buzzing.
This is a bit too scary.
If the scenes I saw before really foreshadow what will happen in the future, wouldn't everyone die?
This is so scary!
I couldn't imagine it, and even felt a little scared.
"I know this is a bit unacceptable to you, but it is all true, because this kind of thing happened to Zishou..."
As he spoke, Xiao Qin began to tell me stories about the past. A truth that was completely different from historical records appeared in front of me bit by bit.
It turns out that the reason why the Shang Dynasty collapsed was not because of the stupidity and cruelty of King Zhou of Shang, which led to the rebellion of the people.
Not only that, on the contrary, Prince Zhou of Shang Dynasty was gifted with intelligence, eloquence, and high understanding. He opened up territories and expanded his territory. He went on several expeditions to the Eastern Yi and put down the rebellion.
In addition, King Zhou had an open-minded personality and loved his people like his own son. He was an extremely talented and strategic king. During his reign, the Shang Dynasty gradually turned from decline to prosperity, and King Zhou of Shang was also affected by
Loved by the people.
This should be a good thing, but wherever there is light there is darkness, and wherever there is power there is struggle, especially under imperial power.
Just like what Xiao Qin just said, "The root of evil in the world is nothing but religion!"
Religion has become the source of all evil.
King Zhou happened to be an atheist. He believed that destiny lies in humans, not in heaven. This concept saved slaves from being martyred by humans to a large extent. He even made great contributions to the issue of women. The Shang Dynasty at that time
In the DPRK, women can even discuss politics.
It is this social system that triggers extremely strong class conflicts, among which beliefs and sects are the most prominent.
The rapid development of the Great Shang Dynasty and the people's support for King Zhou caused the belief in the hearts of the people to shift, seriously affecting the status of the sect in the hearts of the people.
This made the two major sects at that time on pins and needles. After all, there was a time when the majesty of the sects even surpassed the imperial power.
They will never allow this kind of thing to continue to develop.
However, it is not easy to achieve the goal by changing King Zhou, so a conspiracy against King Zhou of Shang and the world began.
The sect used its influence among the people and the methods of some gods and ghosts to spread rumors and confuse the world. The source of everything pointed directly at the king.
At that time, people were still ignorant, and the people were ignorant and did not have the ability to distinguish between true and false. Especially under the promotion and corresponding conspiracy of the church and thoughtful people, rumors about King Zhou's fatuousness spread everywhere, and for a time the people
Centrifugal.
And the ministers who were already secretly dissatisfied with King Zhou also began to add fuel to the flames, secretly framed Zhongliang, and confused right and wrong...
As a result, the contradictions in society became more and more obvious, and turmoil gradually occurred.
I have to say that religious belief is an extremely scary thing. It can educate people, and it can also turn people into beasts!
Finally, the chaos that belonged to the Shang Dynasty now began in darkness and deceit.
At this time, what was unexpected was that Jie Jiao, one of the two sects, found Shenzu as king and publicly expressed its support for King Zhou of Shang.
At that time, King Zhou of Shang Dynasty was already in a dilemma. At this moment, Jie Jiao was helping him, so he was naturally overjoyed. He thought it was just a dispute between two sects. Who would have thought that this was originally a huge war against him?
conspiracy.
The final presentation of this conspiracy was to allow King Zhou of Shang to take a peek at the way of heaven.
"Why? Why is it peeping at Heaven?" I couldn't help but asked curiously.
Xiao Qin's face was cold, with boundless hatred in his eyes.
"If it weren't for peeking at the way of heaven, relying on the emperor's aura in Zi Shou and the unfinished luck of the Shang Dynasty, how could he be destroyed so easily? The opponent had obviously seen this clearly long ago and deliberately lured him
To spy on the way of heaven, because this kind of behavior against heaven will strip away the destiny of the emperor from the body. Once that time comes, their plan will be considered a real success!"
I nodded thoughtfully, "But didn't you say that King Zhou of Shang was an atheist? How could you accept such a request?"
"Why!"
Xiao Qin sighed softly, "Although Zishou is a great talent, he is still a mortal. At that time, he was already shaken by the turmoil of the current situation. In addition, with the intervention of the Tongzhenren who intercepted the teaching, he was somewhat
He wants to give some thin noodles, and at the same time, he also wants to know if there is really a way of heaven in the world?"
"What about you? If he doesn't know, don't you know too?"
As soon as I asked this question, I knew I had said the wrong thing. Although I wanted to know the reason, such words were undoubtedly adding salt to others' wounds!
Sure enough, this time Xiao Qin was silent for a long time, and then slowly said:
"Actually, I couldn't protect myself at that time. Because I had to survive the disaster and was deceived by my relatives, I was not with Zishou at all. Otherwise, how could I let the enemy take advantage of it?"
I nodded, but couldn't help but ask: "Then what did King Zhou see?"
But at this point, Xiao Qin stopped the topic and turned to look at me.
"What he saw is no longer important. What is important is, what is the way of heaven? Do you know?"
My eyes suddenly lit up, because this place is indeed what I want to understand most?
Ever since I was a child, I have heard my grandfather talk to me about the way of heaven. But what exactly is the way of heaven? My grandfather never said it.
At this time, Xiao Qin suddenly asked: "Let me ask you, are all the things you saw before were evil?"
I nodded quickly. The scene I saw just now is still fresh in my memory.
"Then let me ask you again, is the picture you saw related to what you have been thinking about recently?"
I thought about it and realized that this was true, and I seemed to understand it a little bit.
"If I told you that part of the so-called way of heaven actually comes from human consciousness, would you believe it?"
"Human consciousness?"
I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Yes, for example, in daily life, have you ever felt like this? Your body is controlled by your consciousness, but the consciousness that controls your body is controlled by the rules of this world, such as laws and morals. They
He will tell you to kill to pay for his life and to pay for debts, so you never dare to go beyond it!"
"That's the truth."
"But have you ever thought about it? In addition to this, you often have another thought that only exists in your imagination, or a fantasy, a consciousness that can rationally control your body. For example, when you stand on a tall building, you often
Want to jump down, for example, you hate someone, want to retaliate against him or even kill him, or you always have a feeling that many things have happened to you in life, but you can’t remember them? And these are all
It is an idea that is not allowed by the rules of this world."
Listening to Xiao Qin's series of words, I couldn't help but nod my head, because every one of the things she said was so true, because every one of them had been imagined in my mind.
And I'm sure this kind of fantasy has happened to many people.
But after all, this is just a delusion of people. At most, it is just a thought. There are very few people who can help the heartbeat, so what does it have to do with the way of heaven?
But what Xiao Qin said next completely overturned my understanding.
