Resurrection from life and death is something that goes against heaven. It is true that the innate Taoist Master can do it easily, but this does not mean that this action itself is right.
It is wrong. It is something that goes against heaven. Although heaven will not punish you for it, it will secretly mark it down for you. But if it happens too many times, it will come back to you to calculate the total account.
Therefore, unless the person is a close relative, or in other words, if the person being resurrected is not a person of great merit, the innate Taoist Master will generally not use the ability to bring the dead back to life.
Instead of bringing them back to life, it would be better to send them to reincarnation, which would be a lighter price.
Of course, reincarnation is only lighter, not without cost. Six Paths of Reincarnation, this is the territory of Empress Hou Tu, and the relationship between Empress Hou Tu and Xuanmen is also known to be bad.
The reincarnation of a disciple of a person with great supernatural powers can receive preferential treatment. This is not without cost, but is a privilege that the person with great supernatural powers earned after promising various benefits to Empress Houtu.
The price of favor among saints can be imagined. And how can the privileges obtained at such a price be easily handed over to outsiders? If he didn't help the Shangqing Palace a lot, he would definitely not have this opportunity.
Those lonely ghosts who want to take advantage of the Shangqing Palace are really thinking too much. Instead of doing this, they might as well find ways to accumulate merit. In this case, considering that they are full of merit, no matter who they ask for, everyone will be open to it.
No one will refuse to be associated with a person of merit.
"Since we have come to the City of Wasted Death, we must abide by the rules of the City of Wasted Death. If they don't listen, then we should let them see the consequences of violating the rules of the City of Wasted Death."
"Your methods are still too gentle. Being more intense and cruel may not be a bad thing."
"Don't worry too much about those lonely ghosts in Beicheng who have refused to change despite repeated admonitions. Just go ahead and arrest them all. Depending on the amount of karma they have, you will either send them to reincarnation or send them to hell."
It was rare for Jiang Chen to start giving guidance to these five juniors. The power of a monk must not only be known to oneself, but also to others. Only in this way will others be afraid and not dare to provoke him easily.
The North City Lord's methods are too gentle, and he waits for the other party to make mistakes before taking action. This should not be done to such a group of people who have been incorrigible for a long time. Instead, they must be ruthless to set an example.
It doesn't matter whether they made mistakes in the City of Wasted Death, as long as they have karma on them, then they are guilty, just turn around and send them to hell.
After doing this a few times, these lonely ghosts became calm.
"Hey, they are our former comrades after all, and we don't want to see them end up like this." The Lord of Nancheng sighed.
In the final analysis, they do not attack these lonely ghosts, but they still have the intention of harming others. If they hadn't changed their fate by worshiping in the Shangqing Palace, how would their fate be any different from these people?
"Huh, heaven and earth have their own rules. After death, living beings will either reincarnate or return to heaven and earth. How can there be any forced stay in heaven and earth?"
"If all living beings are like them, attached to the mortal world and unwilling to leave, then where is the law of reincarnation?"
The Lord of the North City did not sympathize with them and still firmly believed that these lonely ghosts should be eliminated. Their existence would only disrupt the order of the Netherworld.
Nowadays, ghost ways are not revealed in the ancient world. Forcing living beings to stay in the underworld or the human world after death is an act that violates the rules of heaven and earth. If everyone is like this, why reincarnate?
The meaning of reincarnation is to give the dead a chance to come back again. Otherwise, a large number of ghosts would linger between heaven and earth, and the pressure it would bring to heaven and earth can be imagined.
It is the way of heaven to increase and decrease. If it continues to increase but not disappear, no matter how big the world is, it cannot bear it. During the cycle of reincarnation, the soul will be crushed and turned into pure power to feed back to the world, thereby relieving the pressure on the world.
As for reincarnation, it is the true spirit that is reincarnated, not the soul. The soul is only the clothing of the true spirit, not a necessity.
It can be said that the thoughts of the North City Lord are the mainstream in the ancient world. If you die, don't think so much, just reincarnate with peace of mind. Heaven and earth gave birth to you and raised you. After death, your soul turns into strength and returns to heaven and earth. This is fair, isn't it?
Of course, it is easy to say that one death is the result of eternal hardship, but how many people actually do it?
"The law of reincarnation is the supreme principle of heaven and earth, and it is the most important part of the cycle of heaven and earth. Since you have embarked on the divine way, you must remember that it is your bounden duty to uphold the law of heaven and earth, and you need to use gods to maintain it. Only in this way can you be successful in the world. Go further in Shinto.”
Jiang Chen was becoming more and more satisfied with the Lord of the North City. He was simply a natural seed of the Shinto.
What is the most important thing about Shinto? It is not talent, but stance. The authority of Shinto comes from the rules of heaven and earth. As a member of Shinto, you must remember to always uphold the stance of heaven. Even if he becomes an enemy of believers for this reason, he will not hesitate to do so.
When a god loses his followers, at best he loses his power, which will be restored when his followers return in the future. But once you violate your position and are hated by heaven and earth, you will really be doomed.
Gods have the responsibility to protect believers, but they cannot just do whatever the believers ask you to do. If the believers ask you to kill a good person, you just kill them. How is this possible?
God can respond to believers' requests only if they do not violate the principles of heaven and earth. Otherwise, the gods will become the thugs of the believers, doing whatever they are told.
Therefore, the position of the gods is important.
Just like these five people, they are Yin gods, so their position is to uphold the laws of reincarnation, and they will oppose anything that refutes it.
"That's what the ancestor taught!"
When the five people heard this, they immediately woke up and knew that they had made a big mistake. They are gods now, not immortals, but they still consider issues from the perspective of immortals. If this continues, something big will happen sooner or later.
You don’t even understand your position, but you still want to continue on Shinto? Just dreaming.
"But Patriarch, since we began to practice Taoism, we have been taught that God has the virtue of good life, and everything has a glimmer of hope."
"In this case, the ghost should have a chance of survival, instead of being reincarnated or returning to heaven and earth." The Lord of Dongcheng hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but speak.
In his opinion, it is not advisable to kill all the ghosts. This is too harmful to the harmony of heaven and earth and is inconsistent with the ideals of heaven and earth. They should be left with a glimmer of hope.
Moreover, the Sage of the Shangqing Dynasty is determined to intercept a glimmer of hope for the creatures of heaven and earth. As his disciples and disciples, they should not kill all the ghosts, but should find a glimmer of hope for them.
Yes, theoretically speaking, the lineage of Shangqing Saints has the responsibility to find the first-line living beings for the world.
After all, in order to become a saint, the Sage of Shangqing made a great wish to intercept a glimmer of hope for all sentient beings in the world.
The great wish made by Yuanshi Tianzun is to explain the way of heaven to all living beings. Therefore, this saint likes to preach the most, and the same is true for his disciples.
The great wish of Saint Taiqing is to establish virtue for all living beings and educate all souls. Therefore, this saint wrote the Tao Te Ching and condensed eighty-one incarnations to preach among all races. Among the saints, Saint Taiqing has the most incarnations.
"Is there a chance of survival?"
"Ghosts are also members of all spirits. They are all living beings in the world and naturally have a chance of survival. They just haven't appeared yet."
Jiang Chen nodded and acknowledged his words.
