After all, Zhao Yin is not an ignorant person. Although what he encountered today has exceeded his imagination, as a qualified superior, he still works hard to keep himself calm.
Only by being calm can you successfully receive the information in your mind and carefully distinguish the so-called "help"!
Only when you are calm can you think, detect something wrong, and ask questions.
Therefore, after murmuring the question that shouldn't be a problem, he didn't rush to speak. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into silence, digesting what he had learned in his mind.
For a long time, after Mo Chengjun refilled himself with tea three times, Zhao Yin opened his eyes again.
His eyes gathered with divine light, staring at the mist man not far away, and asked softly: "So, you are the patrolling immortal official, right?"
"yes!"
"Then what should I call you?"
"Just call me "Inspector". This position of mine is designed to patrol the heavens. I should not set up any words or show my holiness to others first.
From now on, we won’t have much communication, so it’s best not to keep this name! "
A clear voice came, and he tilted his head and looked out the window again, saying: "The meeting did take up a lot of time, and it's almost dawn. If you have any doubts, please ask as soon as possible, otherwise I have to leave. .”
"Of course there is, but I have so many questions that I don't know where to start asking."
Zhao Yin said this, but his eyes moved, and he said: "Master Inspector, you said that Heavenly Court is willing to help me, is it just this method of conferring gods?"
"Isn't it enough to have this method of conferring gods?"
"It's not that it's not enough, but...how should I put it, it's completely different from the support I imagined!"
Zhao Yin organized his speech before asking tentatively: "Don't you send some people over? Like the Galaxy Sword Sect or the Sword Fu Sect?"
I'm actually not greedy. Just one or two of the existences I just saw will be enough! "
As soon as these words came out, the air became quiet, so quiet that one could hear a needle drop, and then loud laughter could be heard.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
He saw the mist rolling, as if someone was laughing and leaning forward and backward, unable to control himself, and Zhao Yin's face turned ugly even as he laughed.
"Did I say something wrong somewhere?"
"Do you know how those beings exist? Do you know how far they are from this big world? Do you know how many big worlds they have to pay attention to every day.
Are you still going to ask them to go out in person and help you seize this little position of human emperor? Do you know what this looks like? "
"like what?"
"Invite lions and tigers to come in and help the ants fight. This is what you think. How overestimating your capabilities!"
The derogatory meaning of this metaphor was palpable, but Zhao Yin was not angry.
If what he had seen and heard before was true, to be honest, he didn't think that the struggle between humans and emperors in this part of the world was worthy of the fate of those beings.
But he still said: "It's just that the method of conferring gods and an altar are too thin, isn't it?"
"So, what I, Heaven, give you is just opportunity.
As for whether you can seize this opportunity and regain your position as "Human Emperor", it depends on your own ability and efforts. "
The man in the mist said this, tilted his head again, and after thinking for a while, he continued to explain: "You should have heard that my heaven is the residence of immortals and gods.
In this big world, the Immortal Way seems to be prosperous, but in fact it is incomplete; and the Shinto Way only has some signs of it.
Therefore, when I, the Heavenly Court, pay attention to this world, I will open a cave to make a place to stay, and then I will patrol the lower world of the Immortal Officials, observe this world of mortals, look at the characteristics of this world, and finally make a decision. Spread this immortal way.
As for you, although you are a little worse off, you have a broad mind and the heart to protect the people of the world, and you have done well within your ability.
Therefore, I give you a great opportunity to teach the divine way and spread it to the world, helping you to take the position of human emperor. "
Zhao Yin
He also asked his biggest worry at the right time: "Then what is this divine way? Is it the way of ghosts and gods?"
"The path to immortality is very vague. You can go up to the nine heavens to catch the moon, and you can go down to the five oceans to catch turtles. But what you are looking for is personal opportunity, and what you are following is the path of transcendence, where you can achieve great freedom and freedom.
It’s not that it’s not good, it’s just that it can look upward to find the scenery of heaven and earth, but it doesn’t bow its head and cannot see the suffering of the mortal world.
But Shinto is different.
What Shinto cultivates is incense and aspiration, and it is about gathering the power of mortals in order to reach heaven. This is destined to make Shinto inseparable from the secular world, the dynasty, the government, and all living beings.
As for the human emperor of a dynasty, he may not be able to command immortal giants, but he can consecrate gods, mountain gods, land, river uncle, city emperor...
All these things, as long as they come from the hands of the human emperor, will inevitably protect the temple, the community, and the people of the dynasty, as long as they do not lose the hearts of the people, they can last for thousands of generations. "
"Then what if we lose our hearts?"
"Is it still necessary for a dynasty that has lost its support to exist?"
The man in the mist spoke bluntly: "In other words, if you are the kind of person who only cares about the interests of one family and does not care about the life and death of thousands of people, do you think I will choose you? Will I give you such an opportunity?"
Zhao Yin couldn't help but sigh: "That's how it is!"
But the man in the mist said: "As for the way of ghosts and gods that you are worried about, I have heard about it. I can only say that it is the product of the budding Shinto. It is an imperfect system and full of loopholes.
Back then, the ancestor of your family was so impatient that he caused disasters caused by ghosts and gods.
However, this is not the same concept as my heavenly Shinto system, so you don’t have to worry. "
After a pause, he gave a positive comment: "Actually, your ancestor was a far-sighted person. His idea of using the immortal way to suppress and using the way of ghosts and gods to protect oneself is very consistent with my idea of heaven.
I just sigh that he was born at the wrong time! ! ! "
This explanation really dispelled a lot of Zhao Yin's worries. Coupled with the comparison of the secret method of "The Art of Ascension" in his mind, he believed a lot.
After a pause, he asked again: "Can you tell me more about heaven?"
"Although I in heaven don't mind others knowing, it's better not to waste time now. You will have plenty of opportunities to understand in the future."
"after?"
"Yes!"
The man in the mist pointed to his head and said: "The heavenly palace receiving order in your sea of consciousness is not a one-way ticket. It can lead you to heaven again when needed.
Of course, you don’t want to go to the Lingxiao Palace. You can’t get in touch with those great gods and immortals.
However, you can wander around places like the Jie Yin Palace and learn some basic information about Heaven. "
"Just basic information?"
"Of course it's just some basic information, other than that, what else do you want?
Dig into the past of those great gods, or pry into the privacy of a certain powerful being?
Haha, when you are ready to commit suicide, please let me know and I will draw a clear line with you. "
After ending the topic, Mo Chengjun seemed a little impatient: "Okay, okay, there are other things. If not, I'm leaving."
"Yes, of course!"
Saying this, Zhao Yin paused, his expression slightly hesitant, but after a moment, he raised his head and looked directly at the man in the mist, as if to see through him: "I just want to know, what did you in heaven do? What's the point of having more?
Or, what do you need me to do? "
He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "A long time ago, an ancestor once told me that greed is the original sin, but it is also because of greed that people have the motivation to move forward.
I don’t believe that you in heaven are saints and have no desires or desires. I just want to know what you are “greedy” about? "
"You finally have some level of understanding with this question!"
The man in the mist seemed surprised, but also seemed very happy, and his clear voice became lighter: "You are right, I am greedy in heaven, but what do you want?"
Actually already
Already told you! "
"Told me? When?"
"Every word is."
"Are you talking about becoming a god?"
"It's understandable, but it's still superficial."
After a pause, as if he was organizing his words, the person in the mist said softly: "My heavenly court never cares about temporary gains and losses, nor does it care about your internal struggles. Whoever is in power among you is fighting for life and death, but in fact he is not the same as me. Words don't matter.
It's like you never pay attention to the ants fighting in the nest at your feet.
What Heavenly Court cares about is actually the entire civilization, the spread of Heavenly Court’s culture and ways in this world. So, you may understand? "
"Culture? Path?"
Although Zhao Yin's vision was not bad, he was still just a native. For a moment, it was difficult for him to understand this statement.
The man in the mist turned his head slightly and thought for a moment, then made an analogy: "I heard that in the south of your Kyushu, on the border of Jinzhou, there is still a former branch of the human race active, and you call it the Southern Barbarians?"
"Yes!"
Zhao Yin nodded and added: "It is said that it can be traced back to the years before the unification of the Kyushu human race. Those who disobeyed the rule of the first emperor Yu were sent there."
"So, they are neither monsters nor demons. They are still human beings, but they practice ancient rituals. They live in tribes and hunt. They like to kill and hunt. They are good at totem skills. They often invade the border areas of Jinzhou, right?"
"Yes. But does this have anything to do with what we just talked about?"
"Of course. What I'm talking about is if, if your Daxuan Dynasty is willing to send envoys to carry out enlightenment, establish schools there to teach etiquette, farm and weave, implement laws, and govern with officials.
After hundreds of thousands of years, will there still be Nanman people?
Or are they already Daxuan people? "
"Of course..."
Zhao Yin instinctively wanted to answer, but as soon as the words came out, he seemed to understand something and stood blankly on the spot.
He already understood what the patrolling immortal official meant, because, in a sense, the Heavenly Court looked at this vast world just like the Daxuan Dynasty looked at the Southern Barbarians.
And what they pursue is never temporary gains and losses and interests.
What they want to do is the spread of ideas and the assimilation of civilization, until at a certain moment, this world recognizes the culture and inheritance of Heaven.
And this kind of appeal is not a bad thing or unacceptable to the Zhao royal family and even the Jiuzhou people.
In fact, the more he thought about it, the more shocked Zhao Yin felt. They were still fighting for temporary power, while the other party was focusing on tens of millions of years. They were really not on the same level.
It seemed that he had finished speaking, and the man in the mist was no longer interested in understanding. He put down the tea cup and said: "This should be your last question. I have said a lot. It's time to go, let's go." Already."
As he spoke, he stood up and moved forward with layers of fog. The door opened automatically and he walked further and further away.
Until then, Zhao Yin seemed to have remembered something again and shouted loudly: "I have one more question, one more?"
"If you fart quickly, let it go!"
"Well, you also know that the trouble caused by ghosts and gods last time was a bit bigger. If I want to restart the apotheosis this time, I will definitely be blocked by the immortal sect.
If I were to die and become nothing, I would be afraid of delaying our heavenly affairs! "
Look, this is the one in the upper position. People who can do great things are shameless. This is "our heaven".
From a distance, the clear voice came again: "Don't worry about this. Just be prepared. After a while, they won't have time to pay attention to you.
Maybe they will be very busy! ! ! "
"Very busy? So what do you mean?"
"The divine way is vast and the immortal way is incomplete. Since we are going to open up the path to becoming a god, this immortal way must also be completed."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yin had already chased him to the door. He saw that all the fog had receded and the patrolling immortal official had already gone away.
And the huge mansion suddenly came to life, and the old eunuch suddenly
He immediately ran up to him and said, "Master, master, you have been busy all night again! Master, why don't I help you wash up first? The ministers will be here soon."
"Has it been a night already?"
Zhao Yin looked up as he was a little lost in the lake, and saw the distant sky. The rising sun had jumped into his field of vision and was emitting light.
He couldn't help but raise his hand and shake it, feeling the knowledge in the sea of consciousness. He knew that this was not a dream, and everything was not a dream.
He suddenly smiled, a smile that was subtle yet brilliant, like the rising sun, as if he saw hope.
