Chapter 247: Self-directed and self-acted, Nuwa Palace burning incense
Mount Sumeru.
After the Great Emperor Shangqing left, Zhunti Taoist couldn't help but look at Jieyin Taoist and said, "Brother, do we really have to agree to Tongtian Sect Master?"
The Taoist Jie Yin did not answer directly, but asked in return: "Human hearts are hard to come by, so what do you think is better, three thousand Jiejiao disciples who are forcibly converted, or three thousand Jiejiao disciples who voluntarily join our Buddhist sect?"
"Of course it's the latter!"
Zhunti answered without hesitation: "Although the method of salvation can make living beings convert, it also has consequences, and it cannot save living beings above Daluo!"
After destroying the Ashura religion, they converted many Ashura people, but they were unable to convert Uma, the goddess of heaven who was a person with great supernatural powers.
This is because those with great supernatural powers have absolute faith in their own ways, and even if they personally use their powers to save others, they cannot change the other person's mind.
"Besides, who do you think is more trustworthy, Yuanshi or Tongtian?"
The Taoist Jie Yin asked again.
"Of course it's Tongtian!"
Zhunti Taoist sighed and said, "Yuanshi is too cruel, and beside him, there is also Taiqing Laozi, who might plot against us in return!"
Brahmanism was specifically supported by Taiqing Laozi to restrain the development of Buddhism.
It is impossible to say that the Taoist Master Zhunti has no grudge against this matter.
It was because of the existence of Brahmanism that Kinnara, the disciple whom Jie Yin valued, had his faith broken, fell into the path of evil, and completely disappeared.
"Ok!"
The Taoist Jie Yin nodded and said, "If that's the case, just let nature take its course. After this catastrophe, our Western Region may have a chance to revive!"
"good!"
The Taoist Zhunti smiled.
He did not forget that he had spies in both the orthodox and unorthodox sects.
……
The two incarnations of Yuanshi Tianzun, "Yuqing Great Emperor" went to Mount Xumi, while "Xuhuang Daojun" crossed the chaos and went to Taisu Heaven.
No one knows what the two said in the Queen Wa Palace.
only know……
Nuwa goddess left Taisu heaven!
As for the reason!
The birthday of Emperor Fuxi is approaching, and as Fuxi's sister, she naturally has to go to Huoyundong to pay her respects.
at the same time.
In the Nine-Room Hall, King Di Xin of Shang was wearing a crown and an imperial robe embroidered with a black bird pattern, and was listening attentively to the reports of his ministers.
"Your Highness, Shang Rong has something to report!"
"allow!"
Emperor Xin looked at Shang Rong calmly, wanting to see the Prime Minister of the Shang Dynasty and say something.
Shang Rong spoke earnestly and respectfully, "Your Majesty, tomorrow is March 15th, which is also the birthday of the Holy Mother Nuwa. Your Majesty, please come to the Holy Mother Temple to burn incense and pray for the people to live and work in peace and prosperity, good weather, peace and prosperity, and lay the foundation for the eternal success of our Shang Dynasty!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin showed an unhappy look on his face: "If burning incense is useful, why do I need you officials? Why do humans need to worship the Holy Mother?"
Shang Rong immediately knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, be careful with your words! The Queen is the Holy Mother of our human race. She has made great contributions to the creation of human beings and the restoration of the sky and the salvation of the world. Her merits are immeasurable. How can you speak disrespectfully to the Queen?"
All the ministers agreed.
Emperor Xin had no choice but to wave his hand: "Alright, I'll go tomorrow!"
He became famous at a young age. Although he had never practiced cultivation, he was able to support the beams and pillars, and he fought wars in the south and the north, without taking the gods seriously at all.
What's more, he had read on the bamboo slips that the Xia Dynasty was destroyed by his ancestors because of the public resentment caused by sacrifices and wars.
The most important affairs of the country are sacrifice and military service.
This is what Shang Rong and his ministers often say!
But Emperor Xin felt that sacrifices were useless and only cost the people a lot of money and time, so he wanted to abolish them altogether.
pity……
But encountered great resistance!
The next day, King Wucheng Huang Feihu rode a five-colored divine bull and led many Shang Dynasty soldiers to clear the way. Emperor Xin, surrounded by civil and military officials, came to the Nuwa Temple to burn incense with a solemn look on his face.
The temple keeper had been waiting for a long time.
However, on such an important day, not everyone is qualified to enter. Only Emperor Xin, the King of Shang, is qualified to enter the temple and burn incense.
As soon as Emperor Xin entered the hall and saw the statue of Nuwa, he was so fascinated that he didn't notice a flash of black light on the statue.
"When the time comes, both you and I will die!"
A strange voice suddenly came out from the black light and penetrated into the ancestral orifice between Emperor Xin’s eyebrows.
Emperor Xin looked expressionless. He immediately drew the sword from his waist and carved a poem on the pillar.
The scenery of Feng Luan Bao's tent is very special, and it is full of intricate decorations made of gold and gold.
Ququ distant mountains fly green, dancing sleeves and reflecting the clouds.
The pear blossoms are blooming in the rain, and the smoke in the peony cage is charming.
But you can act charmingly and take back Changle to serve the king.
Suddenly, a voice suddenly emerged from Emperor Xin's body: "Sister, the King of Shang has done nothing wrong, why do you want to tarnish your own reputation and frame him for injustice!"
Then, the person who spoke slowly condensed an illusory body.
It was the divine thought of Fuxi that was attached to Emperor Xin after receiving the message from the Master Tongtian.
"Brother?" The Nuwa statue suddenly opened its eyes and showed a look of shock: "Why are you here?"
Fuxi certainly would not betray Master Tongtian, he just sighed and said: "I calculated that the King of Shang would have a disaster, but I didn't expect it was you who brought it upon me!"
Yes!
Emperor Xin burned incense at Nuwa Temple and wrote poems blaspheming the Virgin Mary, but in fact it was directed and acted by Nuwa herself.
"why?"
Fuxi was a little bit unbelievable.
Nuwa looked calm and said calmly, "This is a deal. I will help Taiqing Yuanshi deal with Jiejiao! The condition is that after the catastrophe, Taiqing will give me the position of the leader of the human religion! If the King of Shang is not immoral, how can Xiqi have an excuse to attack Shang? How can Yuanshi Tianzun lead the disciples of Jiejiao into the catastrophe?
"How cruel is this to Emperor Xin?"
Fuxi shook his head.
Nuwa sighed softly, "Those who achieve great things do not care about small details! For the position of the leader of the human race, what can't be calculated for a human king?"
Clearly, she had no intention of changing her mind.
"you've changed!"
Fuxi's eyes were full of disappointment.
Nuwa was stunned when she heard this, then she smiled and said, "People will change! Even the heaven and earth will change, not to mention the unpredictable human heart."
She was first the Emperor of Earth and later a Sage of Heaven. She had a deep understanding of both the Heavenly and Earthly Ways. Now, in order to comprehend the Human Way, she seeks the position of the leader of the Human Religion and to take back the merit of education that should have belonged to her... In her view, it is natural and justified, and there is nothing wrong with her behavior.
"That's it!"
Fuxi's figure slowly disappeared.
He recognized that the black light that merged into Emperor Xin's brow was the curse left by Lu Gui when the Xia Dynasty was destroyed. Even the Human King would be affected by it.
No one except a saint can get rid of it.
"Brother, you will know in the future that what I did today was right!"
After saying this, the statue of Nuwa returned to its original state and turned into the appearance of a clay figure.
When the civil and military officials of the Shang Dynasty saw that Emperor Xin had not come out for a long time, they were worried that something might have happened, so they ignored any taboos and rushed into the Nuwa Temple.
As soon as everyone entered the temple, they saw Emperor Xin holding a sword and staring at the statue in a daze.
Then, I saw the poem!
When Shang Rong saw the poem on the pillar, he was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is the Holy Mother of our race. How can you write a poem to blaspheme her?"
……
Fire Cloud Cave.
Fuxi's mind returned to his body, and he looked at the "Lingbao Tianzun" in front of him, and couldn't help but sighed: "Daoyou, I don't have the ability to make Nuwa change her mind!"
Yuanshi Tianzun sent two incarnations of the Three Corpses to Mount Xumi and Taisu Heaven respectively, and Tongtian Jiaozhu also sent two incarnations of the Three Corpses.
The difference is that one followed the "Jade Emperor" to Mount Xumi, while the other had already arrived at the Fire Cloud Cave and told Fuxi about Emperor Xin.
"It doesn't matter!"
Hearing this, there was no trace of disappointment on the face of Lingbao Tianzun. He just sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Master Taiqing... would actually give up the position of the leader of the Human Religion!"
The Taoist orthodoxy is the foundation of saints and the tool to verify the great way. No matter it is Yuanshi Tianzun or Tongtian Jiaozhu, they dare not abandon it easily.
Perhaps, in terms of combat power, Taiqing Laozi is slightly inferior to Tongtian Jiaozhu who commands the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
But on the great road, he was ahead. When Tongtian Jiaozhu was still adding, Taiqing Laozi had already started subtracting.
At least……
Master Tongtian is still unable to completely abandon Jiejiao.
At most, it's just an exchange student, sharing resources and studying other people's ways!
After communicating with the original master Tongtian, "Lingbao Tianzun" immediately said to the Three Emperors: "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, because of the position of the leader of the human sect, stands on the side of Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, then...Fellow Daoist Fuxi, Fellow Daoist Shennong, and Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan, what choice will you make?"
His eyes were burning, like a question, but also like a hope and expectation.
……
As the news of Emperor Xin composing a poem in the Nuwa Temple spread, many people became dissatisfied with it, and even the tribute from the princes was postponed for half a year.
As the news of the Human King's immorality spread, the calamity energy between heaven and earth became more and more violent.
One day, Yuanshi Tianzun called Jiang Ziya and said, "Ziya! You have been practicing for forty years, but it is difficult to become an immortal. It is time for you to go down the mountain!"
Jiang Ziya bowed down immediately after hearing this, his old face full of fear: "Teacher, did I do anything to displease you? I will definitely repent, please don't drive me down the mountain!"
Speaking of which, Jiang Ziya's physique is also very strange. It's okay that he has very poor aptitude, but Yuanshi Tianzun has no shortage of elixirs, and Taiqing Laozi has the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, which is a heaven-defying magical item... But after Jiang Ziya took it, it didn't help to improve his realm at all.
As a result, after practicing Taoism for forty years, he was still only at the level of Lianxu Hedao, and was unable to achieve true immortality.
Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Jiang Ziya calmly and said, "I am not trying to drive you down the mountain, but I have an important task to give you!"
As he spoke, he took out the List of Conferred Gods and the Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag, handed them to Jiang Ziya, and said in a deep voice: "When people see that war is about to break out, this List of Conferred Gods is what is used to confer the gods! And this Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag is also a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. With the blessing of my magic power, it can protect your life!"
"After you come down the mountain, you can head west and look for a wise leader to support you!"
"When the wars in the world cease and the gods return to their positions, I will grant you a great fortune!"
"Do you understand?"
As Yuanshi Tianzun said this, he looked at Haotian provocatively, as if the List of Gods was in charge of the Chenjiao and that the Chenjiao had the final say on how to confer the gods.
Although Haotian was angry, he could do nothing about it.
On the other hand, Master Tongtian looked at Yuanshi Tianzun with a mocking expression: "Your level of teaching your disciples is not good enough! If this boy had joined my Jiejiao, he would have already obtained the fruit of the Heavenly Immortal Dao!"
