"Look at you, for the sake of some selfish gains, you have turned the good old world into a mess and lost your face. You don't even have the slightest trace of being a Taoist immortal."
As soon as Taozu opened his mouth, he reprimanded everyone, bluntly saying that they did not practice Taoism in seclusion and had to jump out to cause trouble, thus causing chaos in the ancient world.
"I'm guilty!"
No one dared to refute, they all apologized in fear.
Seeing them like this, Daozu not only did not feel relieved, but became even more angry. To be honest, they were making trouble, but if they really achieved results, Daozu would not be so angry.
But as a result, they have done so many things over the years, and even destroyed the world twice. But in the end, not only did they not get any benefits, but they also put themselves in a disadvantageous situation.
If they practiced Taoism peacefully and did not end up competing for the destiny of heaven and earth, they would have become Taoists long ago and entered the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
But it was precisely because they were greedy and insisted on relying on luck to practice that they ended up destroying the world. The environment became worse day by day, and it became more difficult to practice Taoism. It became almost a luxury to hope for enlightenment.
When others make trouble, they make themselves better and better, but when they make trouble, they make themselves more and more miserable.
Faced with such a situation, how could Daozu not be angry in his heart? He was really angry that he did not fight and hated that he did nothing.
…
Although everyone looked frightened on their faces, they didn't think so in their hearts. Daozu lowered his head and glanced at everyone, and he already understood what they were thinking.
At this moment, no matter how many words I have, it is difficult to say them out, so I can only sigh helplessly.
"Why!"
With a long sigh, Daozu no longer looked at the crowd, but turned to look at Saint Taiqing and Yuanshi Tianzun below, and said to them: "Taiqing, Yuqing, get up and speak."
There was no emotion or anger in Daozu's voice, but the faces of Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Sage changed drastically, and they quickly apologized: "Master, my disciple is guilty. I hope Master will calm down!"
The two of them naturally knew that why Daozu asked them to stand up and talk was obviously to vent his anger on Empress Nuwa. Therefore, they behaved very simply, without any excuses and directly admitted their mistake.
"You also know you are guilty!"
"Is this how I teach you, to unite with your fellow disciples to bully your junior sister? If you spread the word, you won't be afraid of being laughed at."
"Also, should you admit your mistake to me? Nuwa is sitting next to you, didn't you see it?"
Not because the two admitted their mistakes, Taoist Hongjun changed his attitude towards them. He sternly reprimanded them in front of everyone and forced them to apologize to Nuwa.
"Junior sister, senior brother is wrong!"
Xu Shi had already made preparations. As soon as Daozu Hongjun finished speaking, Saint Taiqing and Yuanshi Tianzun apologized to Nuwa.
This attitude was so straightforward that everyone present, not to mention Empress Nuwa, was shocked by it, thinking that the two of them had been snatched away.
Taiqing Sage is okay, but Yuanshi Tianzun is famous for not bowing down even if he is killed. Even if he is really wrong, he will never admit it.
Therefore, everyone was shocked when they saw him bowing his head and admitting his mistake with such a sincere attitude. Is this still the Yuanshi Tianzun they knew? Why did he change his temper after not seeing him for a while?
Beside Yuanshi Tianzun, the Sage of Shangqing was also looking at him with surprise on his face.
If Yuanshi Tianzun had been willing to bow to him and admit his mistakes during the Conferred God Period, how could the relationship between the three Qing Dynasties have reached the point where it is now.
Being looked at by everyone with strange looks, if it had been in the past, Yuanshi Tianzun would have been angry a long time ago, but now, he was completely unmoved and looked at Nuwa Empress sincerely, as if expecting his forgiveness.
Seeing this, Daozu Hongjun was surprised, but he soon discovered the reason, and couldn't help but look deeply at the Taiqing Saint next to Yuanshi Tianzun.
Based on his cultivation, it is not difficult to see that Yuanshi Tianzun's changes are related to Taiqing Saint.
Each of the Sanqing's characters has its own flaws, such as Taiqing who is too thoughtful and calculating. Yuanshi Tianzun is arrogant by nature and refuses to bow his head. Sage Shangqing acts recklessly and is too impulsive.
As the master of Sanqing, Daozu Hongjun is very aware of these. At the same time, he is even more aware that Sanqing is also aware of his own shortcomings and has different views on them.
The Taiqing Sage regarded his shortcomings as his own advantages, and based on this, he developed the method of being too merciless, allowing himself to fall into a ruthless state, thereby aligning with the way of heaven, making the way of heaven ruthless, and immortal in the world.
Because of his ruthlessness, Taiqing Sage can look at problems from the calmest perspective, and his complicated mind has therefore become his advantage, allowing him to calculate others calmly.
Yuanshi Tianzun does not think that he has any flaws. He regards arrogance as his own characteristic and is very proud of it.
The Sage of Shangqing knew that he acted recklessly and impulsively, so he chose to practice swordsmanship and integrated his own personality into it, making his swordsmanship a bit sharper and more powerful than before.
Among the three, Sage Taiqing went further and further. Sage Shangqing was fine before, but after experiencing the incident of becoming a god, he understood the difficult truth of just passing through. His personality changed, his sword intention became more restrained, and he gained a higher level.
Floor trend.
As for Yuanshi Tianzun, there was nothing wrong with him originally, but because of the evil corpse's rebellion and becoming a demon, he was more or less affected, and his personality became increasingly weird.
This is why Yuanshi Tianzun often makes people confused when he does things. When he does some things, his starting point is obviously good, but when he implements them, he will make things worse.
This is what people with a twisted personality are like.
Saint Taiqing was aware of Yuanshi Tianzun's problems and worried that he would be influenced by the evil corpse and sink deeper and deeper into danger, so he often got close to him, trying to use his ruthless state of mind to make up for the defects in Yuanshi Tianzun's character.
defect.
This is why, among the Three Pure Ones, Taiqing Saint is the closest to Yuanshi Tianzun, because Yuanshi Tianzun really has a problem.
Of the two younger brothers, one was fine and the other was problematic. Saint Taiqing had no problem with his mind, so he naturally chose to help the one with problems.
And what happened today undoubtedly proves that Taiqing Sage's strategy was successful. Yuanshi Tianzun's character has indeed changed and is no longer as unpleasant as before.
However, Daozu Hongjun could also see that Taiqing Sage's method only treated the symptoms and could not cure the root cause. If we want to completely solve the problem of Yuanshi Tianzun, we must find a way to recover his evil corpse.
This is the crux of the problem. Yuanshi Tianzun is so arrogant. His evil corpse has become possessed and is unclean in his opinion. So he would rather not let his path be flawed than take back the evil corpse.
So as not to let him contaminate yourself.
He is really too proud, so proud that no one can do anything about it, so the Demon Lord Yuanshi Tianzun has been suppressed by Yuanshi Tianzun for many years, and he has not seen him take it back.
Otherwise, even if Sanqing cannot refine the Yuanshi Heavenly Demon Lord, what else can Taoist Hongjun do?
The crux of the problem is still Yuanshi Tianzun. He keeps twisting and twisting himself and is unwilling to take back the evil corpse. That means that even if others want to help, they have nothing to do.
…
Empress Nuwa's expression remained unchanged, as if she had not seen the two men's actions and had no intention of accepting their apology.
That’s right, whoever it is, who has suffered such great grievances, how could they accept their apology just because of a harmless word from the other party?
Then this price is too light!
Empress Nuwa didn't say anything, and Saint Taiqing and Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't talk, so they just stood there in a stalemate. For a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Fortunately, at this time, Taoist Master Hongjun suddenly spoke, and seeing them still said with emotion:
"Looking at your attitude, you have indeed made progress over the years. Yes, there has been progress. Moreover, your progress does not end there."
"This is not the first time you have bullied your fellow disciples, but this time you have improved a lot from last time. At least this time when you bullied your fellow disciples, you did not unite with outsiders, but with your own people."
Daozu Hongjun's words sounded like good words, and every sentence was praising Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Sage. But when people who knew the inside story heard it, they couldn't help but find it a bit ridiculous.
Wherever he was praising them, he was clearly mocking them. They were very good at bullying their fellow disciples.
In just one sentence, although he only mentioned two saints, he also cursed the other two saints.
For a time, the faces of Saint Taiqing, Yuanshi Tianzun, Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin all turned blue and white, extremely ugly.
In today's prehistoric times, I am afraid that no one else but Taoist Hongjun would dare to ridicule him so mercilessly.
It goes without saying who the outsiders that Taoist Hongjun is talking about are the two saints from the West. During the Battle of the Gods, Yuanshi Tianzun and the saint Taiqing joined forces with outsiders to destroy their younger brother's Taoism. Taozu Hongjun
He didn't say anything on the surface, but he was still extremely dissatisfied with it in his heart.
Taoist Hongjun was unhappy, but Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Sage also felt aggrieved. When they joined forces with the Second Sage of the West, they were still disciples of Xuanmen.
It was at the end of the Conferred Gods period, and the ancient world was destroyed by the Tongtian Cult Leader, forcing Taoist Hongjun to show up in person.
At that time, the two sages from the West met Taoist Hongjun. They came forward to greet him and called him teacher. However, Taozu did not accept their courtesy and instead called him Taoist friend.
At this point, the two sages of the West can be considered to have left Xuanmen.
Because of the saint's face, everyone didn't dare to laugh out loud even if they thought it was funny. However, Jiang Chen didn't have such scruples. He found it funny and just laughed out loud.
"Ha ha!"
Jiang Chen's laughter regardless of the occasion immediately attracted the attention of a lot of people, especially the protagonist, the Saint, who looked at him with the harshest eyes and wished he could eat him alive, but no one dared to tell him to shut up.
.
Finally, Sage Shangqing couldn't stand it any longer and yelled at him: "Shut up, this is a place where you can run wild."
The master had spoken, and Jiang Chen didn't want to laugh anymore. He just looked at Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Saint with playful eyes. These two saints were really disgraced today and lost all face.
But similarly, being able to force Daozu Hongjun, who always valued the face of a saint, to humiliate the two of them in front of everyone shows how dissatisfied Daozu was with them.
If I couldn't bear it, I would never do this.
"This disciple is guilty, please ask Master to punish you."
If it were anyone else who dared to say this to them, Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Sage would ensure that they would not be able to see the sun tomorrow. But the person who spoke was Taozu, so even if they were extremely dissatisfied, they could only endure it and be sincerely afraid.
admitting mistakes.
"Punish you?"
"Come and tell me, how will my teacher punish you?"
"During the period of becoming a god, you united with outsiders to deal with the Shangqing, and my master confined you in chaos. I hope you can remember this lesson."
"But the result is good. You must remember the lesson. This time, instead of joining forces with outsiders, join forces with fellow disciples."
"Tell me, how should I punish you as a teacher? So that you can really remember this lesson?"
Taoist Hongjun was also helpless. Youdao said that a son has no control over his father. Now that his disciple has become capable and has strong wings, he no longer listens to his master. What can he do?
Punish them? It's easy to say, but how to punish them? Saints are immortal, so any punishment for them is just insignificant and cannot hurt their roots.
As for punishment that damages their face, that is even more unacceptable. The saints represent the face of heaven, how can they let their majesty fall to the ground?
Therefore, some humiliating punishments cannot be used on saints.
To be honest, if the saints really messed up, Taoist Hongjun would really be unable to do anything to them.
"This disciple is frightened and hopes that Master will calm down."
Seeing that Taoist Hongjun was getting more and more serious, not only Taiqing Saint and Yuanshi Tianzun were panicked, but also the great supernatural powers who had joined forces with them to persecute Nuwa Empress were also panicked and began to plead guilty.
"Hey, you are all the ancestors of the same party. Logically speaking, I dare not reprimand you like this. I should save you some face. But look at what you have done recently, there is no face at all."
"If I hadn't spoken, I don't know what this Xuanmen would have become."
"You guys, the ancestors, are plotting against each other, regardless of the friendship between the same disciples. How can the disciples below meet you and work together as one?"
"Someone told me a few years ago that the world is declining, and today's monks are becoming more and more evil-minded. It is not uncommon for them to kill people and seize treasures. It is not uncommon for them to be motivated by wealth."
"Before, it could be said that Jie Jiao led to a bad atmosphere, but now that Jie Jiao is gone, not only has the atmosphere not changed, but it has become even worse."
"In this way, you can't find a scapegoat, right?"
"In my opinion, the reason why the atmosphere has changed is not because of the thousands of monks, but because of you. The so-called superiors and subordinates follow the example. If you, the founder, are like this, how can you expect the disciples below to be harmonious and harmonious?"
"People's hearts are broken because of your failure to set an example."
Daozu Hongjun's dissatisfaction seemed to have been accumulated for a long time. Now when he found an opportunity, he did not care about everyone's expressions and spoke out everything, and severely reprimanded everyone.
