"This day coincides with the time when Haotian God's Yuanhui preached... The Yuanhui will be 129,600 years old..." At this time, there was no such thing as the Yuanhui, so Chen Jingke specially explained it.
Just a date made Princess Chengyang excited. Although she was not sensible yet, she also knew that hundreds of thousands of years were very powerful.
Sun Simiao and Changsun Wugao on the side also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear how Chen Jingke made up this story.
"This is a rare opportunity to listen to the sound of the great avenue. All the gods and gods are gathered in the Zixiao Palace, the dojo of Haotian God, thirty-three days away."
"Three Qing Dynasties, Six Imperial Clan, Five Fangs and Five Elders, Nuwa, Fuxi, Suiren clan, Youchao clan, Shennong clan, Huangdi...all are among them..."
"God Haotian's words are silent, but the voice of his own great way is ringing in everyone's ears, and all they can see is golden lotuses pouring from the sky..."
"The sound of the avenue is mysterious. Everyone hears the same sound differently, but it is what they need most. It is the answer to all the doubts they have accumulated..."
The little girl Princess Chengyang didn't think anything of this novel setting, but thought it was very powerful, while the eldest grandson Wugou and Sun Simiao were very surprised.
Especially Sun Simiao, he thought more. When the sound of the Great Way reaches everyone's ears, it turns into a different content. Isn't it a coincidence: Tao can be Tao, but Tao is Tao, and a name can be famous, but it is not famous.
Chen Jingke himself did not expect this. He continued to preach: "During the sermon, a bloody evil spirit suddenly shot up from the human world into the sky, and Haotian God's sermon was interrupted."
"This evil spirit contained boundless will to die. Even the gods were frightened by it and asked where it came from."
"Haotian God has spoken that the creatures in the world do not know etiquette and morality and only act according to their preferences. Their unchecked desire and the killing aura merge to form the calamity aura.
"If the calamity energy cannot be resolved in time, it will accumulate more and more, and it will erupt every time the Yuan Hui alternates. It can also be called calamity."
"Once the immeasurable calamity comes, not only the human beings will be devastated, but even the gods and gods will be in danger of falling. However, the most dangerous thing is the immeasurable calamity..."
"When the immeasurable calamity comes, the heaven and earth will return to chaos and all things will cease to exist... The gods were shocked and asked about the way to resolve the calamity."
At this time, Sun Simiao and Changsun Wugou had finished their inspection, and they were both listening to his story attentively.
I was also surprised when I heard the words "Measurable Tribulation" and "Infinite Tribulation". I didn't expect that immortals and gods would die, and even the world might be destroyed.
They couldn't help but have the same thoughts as the gods in the story. How to resolve them?
"Haotian God has said that only by educating all sentient beings through the Tao and Dharma, so that all sentient beings can understand the meaning of the way of heaven and do the things of the way of heaven, can the calamity be resolved..."
"And resolving calamity is an act of accumulating virtue and doing good, and you will receive merits from heaven. Merits are blessings for mortals, and you can get blessings... If you are virtuous in this life, you can turn into a wealthy family and have a worry-free life in the next life."
"It is also of great use to great gods and powerful people. It is like a great tonic. It can increase mana and refine artifacts... If the merit is enough, it can be used to withstand immeasurable calamities."
"Only Empress Nuwa in the world has gained immeasurable merits and virtues due to her great creations such as creating humans and patching up the sky. All the other great gods lack this. After learning this method, they were overjoyed and wanted to go down to earth to preach."
"However, heaven and earth have their own rules. The three realms must perform their own duties and must not interfere with each other. Immortals and gods must not interfere with the affairs of the world at will."
"So the gods decided to recommend a great virtue to come down to earth to preach. However, many great gods had their own plans in mind. Except for Empress Nuwa, they all wanted to come down to earth themselves..."
"When there was a stalemate, Empress Nuwa proposed that all the powerful people explain their understanding of Taoism in front of Haotian God, and God would select the best ones to descend to earth."
"This method was unanimously approved by the gods... all the powerful people came on stage to perform the method... In the end, the moral god won."
After hearing this, Changsun Wugou and Sun Simiao roughly guessed what would happen next. After all, the Moral God is Lao Tzu.
The eldest grandson Wugou was even more excited. This story obviously raised the status of our ancestor countless times, and also gave me an extra layer of destiny.
By the way, the Li family's victory in the world was determined by destiny. This story must be vigorously promoted so that everyone can know it.
Chen Jingke continued: "The Moral Goddess was born into the human world under the pseudonym Li Dan, but at this time he had lost all the memories of his previous life, leaving only his understanding of Tao..."
"Soon he became a world-famous scholar. Countless people came here to study, including Confucius..."
"One day when I was opening the altar to preach, someone suddenly asked: The world is so vast that it covers hundreds of millions of miles. In addition to the middle land, there are four other places: southeast, northwest, and northwest. All living beings in these four places are suffering..."
"Since you are the great virtuous person in the world, how can you only care about the living beings in front of you and ignore the living beings in all directions? I am so ashamed that I am sweating profusely."
"I asked this man which place in the world was the most miserable, and he replied that the west was the most miserable, so he decided to go to the western world to preach... At this time, the person who came suddenly turned out to be Empress Nuwa."
"It turns out that when Empress Nuwa saw the Moral God incarnate and I lost the memory of his previous life, she also forgot her important mission of preaching to the world, so she came down to earth to give guidance."
"Not only that, she also gave me two magic weapons. One is the purple ribbon fairy clothes, which can prevent me from falling into reincarnation; the other is the yin and yang flag, which can protect me from poison... Then I bid farewell to King Zhou Jing and embarked on the road to the west..."
At this time, Changsun Wugou suddenly asked: "Will I get married when I come to earth?"
Chen Jingke was not a fool. He naturally knew the intention of her asking, so he said with certainty: "Of course she is married and has children. I just forgot to mention it just now. I will bring it up when I write the book."
Changsun Wugou nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good...what's next?"
Chen Jingke coughed dryly and said: "I traveled west to Hangu Pass, and Yin Xit came to ask for advice, so I left behind five thousand words, which is the "De Dao Jing"."
Changsun Wugao interrupted again: "Is it the Tao Te Ching?"
Chen Jingke said: "No, it's the De Dao Jing. De is the way of the world, and Tao is the way of heaven. Master's teachings are all from easy to difficult, from easy to difficult. Is there any saying that it is difficult first and then easy?"
Changsun Wugu was speechless. She really had no way to refute this truth. Even Sun Simiao didn't know how to refute it.
"But hasn't it always been like this? What has been handed down from ancient times is the Tao Te Ching, and I have never heard of the Tao Te Ching."
Chen Jingke asked rhetorically: "When did the name Tao Te Ching appear? What was its earliest name? Or what was the name of the five thousand words copied by Yin Xi?"
Sun Simiao replied: "It is true that the Tao Te Ching was originally named Lao Tzu, but what you said about the Tao Te Ching... there is really no evidence."
Chen Jingke thought to himself, there is evidence, and it is buried in Mawangdui. However, it is definitely impossible to dig it out with current technology. Anyone who touches it will be a sinner through the ages.
So he could only forcefully explain: "I preached the Tao Te Ching first and the Tao Te Ching came last, and the same was true when Yin Xi copied the Five Thousand Words."
"In the early Han Dynasty, it was also called the Tao Te Ching. However, later on, some people intended to misinterpret Lao Tzu's meaning and usurp the right to interpret Lao Tzu, so they deliberately reversed the order and changed it to the Tao Te Ching."
"Once the order of the Dao Jing and the De Jing is changed, no one in the world can understand the true meaning of Lao Tzu."
Changsun Wugou said a little worriedly: "Do you know what kind of uproar these words will cause if spread?"
Chen Jingke said: "Of course I know, that's why I mentioned this matter in Journey to the West. Those literati won't find trouble in a legendary novel, right?"
Regarding his rogue behavior, Changsun Wugou was helpless: "Okay, let's continue, what happened next?"
