Chapter 324 Dao Realm Divergence, What Is Orthodoxy
The death of Empress Shi Ji made Di Xin feel depressed for a while, and also made the generals feel for the first time the horror of impending disaster. It was simply unreasonable and their spirits were completely insane.
"Let's go back!"
Di Xin sighed and immediately led the generals back to Chentangguan.
Naturally, he was no longer interested in visiting the workshop, and Di Xin moved directly into the General Military Mansion.
The General Military Mansion was quite spacious, and Yu Hualong's family tidied up the mansion very wisely, leaving only a few maids to serve them.
"Your Majesty, since Master Shiji is dead, why not open an altar and burn incense and explain the whole story so that we can clear up the relationship."
Shen Gongbao raised his hand and talked about the matter directly.
Di Xin nodded and said, "Then I'll bother you, Mr. Shen."
Shen Gongbao went out to arrange the arrangements, while Ao Bing, the third prince of Donghai, knelt in front of Emperor Xin and started crying with runny nose and tears.
"Stand up! What's going on!"
Di Xin looked serious, causing Ao Bing to hold back his tears immediately.
"My disciple mistakenly killed a disciple of Jie Jiao. Please ask Master to tie me up so that they can be punished!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? There are hardly any casualties on the battlefield. If everyone is like this, how can I lead any troops or call myself a king?"
Di Xin scolded Ao Bing angrily, making Ao Bing's eyes roll in his eyes.
In his understanding, the immortals taught by Jie were all highly skilled, but he heard that two of the most advanced dragons in the clan were directly made into golden dragon scissors and became the magic weapons of the immortals.
Emperor Xin reprimanded Ao Bing, and then under the moonlight, he set up the altar and heard Zhong personally write down the title of Saint Tongtian.
After being prepared, he burned incense and prayed. Emperor Xin bowed three times and recited the inscriptions. A flame burned through him, and his spiritual power soared into the sky, and he headed for Biyou Palace.
The reason why it is so solemn is because the current Yin Shang relies on Jiejiao.
Although I had a draw with Taoist Duobao in the Biyou Palace and received the approval of Saint Tongtian, I could make my own decision within the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
However, the execution of the Jie Jiao disciples was still a matter for the second-generation disciples, so they still had to be reported truthfully.
…
At this time in Biyou Palace, Saint Tongtian was giving a sermon. Suddenly, a sacrificial inscription appeared, with a strong sense of human luck on it. It was obviously an inscription from the King of Humans.
Duobao Taoist waved his hand, and then the content of the expression was revealed.
"What! Just after leaving Biyou Palace, you killed the disciples of the Holy Cult! This is simply unreasonable!"
Wu Yunxian, one of the seven immortals who accompanied him, jumped up and stood up.
Wu Yunxian's face was filled with anger, while the other Jiejiao disciples were all indignant. This was simply an insult to the Holy Cult.
"quiet!"
Taoist Duobao's face turned cold. Although he was scolding Wu Yunxian, his face seemed to explain everything.
Saint Tongtian, who had known about this for a long time, said, "A great catastrophe is about to begin. Anyone with an unstable mind and moral deficiencies will have to be on the list of gods!"
When Taoist Duobao heard the sage's words, his heart of hatred flashed away, and then he led his disciples and said, "Follow the sage's instructions!"
"Master, how can I not be on the list of gods?"
Our Lady of Wudang has always devoted herself to cultivation and has always been indifferent to complicated matters. But now that she heard about the great calamity, she naturally wanted to ask about it.
"If you don't want to be on the list of gods, you need to close the door to thank guests, chant Huang Ting quietly, and practice with concentration. If you do, you will naturally have no luck."
Saint Tongtian cannot say that he has already occupied all the divine positions. As long as you don't go out, you can naturally avoid disasters.
But these disciples didn't care. They were used to being undisciplined and even tyrannical in the wilderness. It was simply more difficult for them to practice behind closed doors than to kill them.
What's more, there is resentment. Most of the Jiejiao disciples know what happened to the previous Human King, and Wu Yunxian has contacted many disciples who are dissatisfied with the Human King behind the scenes.
Now the incident involving Empress Shiji has directly made more Jie Jiao disciples dissatisfied.
It’s just the words of the sage Tongtian,
However, Empress Shiji was attributed to an unstable mind and poor Taoism, which was the reason for such disaster, and she was suppressed by force.
The saint is like this, but his first disciple, Taoist Duobao, has an ambiguous attitude and seems to turn a blind eye to Wu Yunxian and others' secret contacts.
A bigger conspiracy seems to be coming!
…
Above the altar of Chentangguan, a layer of auspicious clouds fell, gathered into the word "ke", and then disappeared.
"Di Xin thanks the saint!"
At the same time, all the ministers also knelt down and worshiped together, and Ao Bing's nervous heart suddenly relaxed.
"Get up!"
After Wen Zhong stood up, he said, "Your Majesty, the saint did not blame me this time, but based on my understanding of them, those Jie Jiao disciples will not give up."
Shen Gongbao also said, "Your Majesty, we must be on guard. Jiejiao's disciples are all over the world and have been in the army for a long time. This network of relationships is really too complicated."
"Grand Master, you still need to handle this matter, but I have something to say. If you divide it into parts, you will be rewarded with a generous salary!"
After hearing this, Wen Zhong's eyes brightened up and he said, "The king's words are true!"
"We still need the help of the Grand Master!"
Although Wen Zhong had a falling out with his disciples, he is still the representative of Jiejiao, and the disciples in the Yin Shang Army must listen to him.
"Your Majesty, you are welcome. This is your duty."
Wen Zhong was old enough to hold the country, and his sense of proportion was naturally very good, which made Emperor Xin very satisfied.
…
"Ao Bing, this battle with fellow Taoist Shiji was too much of a coincidence. It was all due to luck and has nothing to do with your own strength."
"Master, my disciple is unclear. Please ask Master to clarify my confusion!"
Di Xin nodded, and then said, "Ao Bing, the orthodoxy of us practitioners is to judge the level of Taoism, not external things such as magic power, magic weapons, and supernatural powers. Do you understand?"
"The real strength of our monks is the fusion of our own perceptions and the way of heaven to form unique thoughts. This is the realm of the Tao, which is also allowed by the way of heaven. The ability to last forever in the world. On the contrary, the way of heaven will also be influenced by personal thoughts.
Join and grow, this is also a positive ability, not a request."
At this time, Ao Bing truly understood why Emperor Xin taught him the "De Jing" and Yang Zhu's thoughts.
"Master, I understand, I am of a low level. Even if I defeat Empress Shiji with my magical powers and secret techniques, I cannot be complacent. If so, when the disaster comes, I will turn into ashes."
Di Xin nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "You can find magic weapons, you can practice magical powers, you can accumulate magic power, but every increase in your realm is a transformation for yourself."
Emperor Xin made such a long speech because he was afraid that Ao Bing would go astray and think that if he defeated Empress Shiji, he would be invincible in the world.
Little did he know that his ability to defeat Empress Shiji could be said to be a fate of heaven, and it was too much of a coincidence.
"Master, how do I cultivate this realm?"
Ao Bing's problem is actually a problem for all monks, and it is also the source of differences among the three religions.
Especially the two sects of Interpretation and Interception are of the same force. One is elaborating on the way of heaven, practicing his thoughts step by step, focusing on merit and enlightenment, while the other is recruiting disciples and intercepting part of the way of heaven, that is, cultivating supernatural powers first.
, secret techniques, magic weapons, and then practice Taoism.
And this is also the reason why it is called a heretical way, which means abandoning the basic and focusing on the last, which makes Chanjiao look down upon it.
In Di Xin's opinion, the two religions of interpretation and Jie were a bit of a sword-qi dispute in later generations, so it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong.
