Snake Immortal was worthy of being the Snake Immortal who had been associated with Fuyang Taoist and practiced for so many years. He immediately pointed out the root cause. However, after Song You listened, he did not pay too much attention to these, but stretched out his hand to take the Snake Immortal's hand. while drinking tea, he asked bluntly:
"So, senior, what do you think the essential problem lies in?"
"Essential question?"
"Yes." Song You said while holding tea, "Senior and Patriarch Fuyang became friends during troubled times. They met many gods. Later, they practiced for many years. They were also named snake immortals by the Dayan royal family. People from the mountain came to worship. I would like to come to you, senior. My knowledge and understanding of the gods are far beyond what I can match. My senior is one of the few elders in the world, so I would like to ask my senior’s opinion... Why are there so many gods in the Heavenly Palace? In the eyes of seniors, what is the fundamental problem?"
The snake fairy couldn't help but glance at him: "It seems you have other ideas."
"In fact, since I came down from the mountain, there are often things that make me feel that the problem of the Heavenly Palace and the gods is more than this." Song You drank tea and said, "If we don't curb it from here, the fallen gods will not be able to be killed."
"What do you think?"
"I think……"
Song You paused and narrowed his eyes: "The way to become a god is an important reason."
"How audacious of you."
"The way of heaven is ruthless, you can say that."
"You are bolder than your ancestors."
"Maybe."
Song You smiled slightly.
But he felt that just because he had another perspective, he might be able to see the so-called "way of heaven" more clearly than the ancestors.
Incense Shinto is the winner chosen by Heaven from the troubled times of ancient times. Belief in Incense and becoming a god is a path that has evolved in this world. Some people think that all rules are set by Heaven. At this time, Song Youyou has problems with this path. In Snake To the immortal, it sounds as if he is talking about the faults of Heaven - ordinary people point at God and scold, and they have to worry about retribution, let alone Fulong Temple, which is the darling of Heaven.
In Song You's view, the way of heaven is ruthless, without feelings, happiness or anger. The way of heaven is not an independent thought. It does not stand in opposition to any living being in the world. It is a shelf, built on the basis of countless living beings in the entire world. , it is the aggregation of all the thoughts in the world, including the snake fairy, including everyone.
It will not get angry when a mortal points at it and curses at it, it may not even know anger, nor will it have any emotional fluctuations due to its own words. It may even have no emotional fluctuations at all.
Naturally, this was Song You's guess.
In fact, the way of heaven is everyone's guess.
Perhaps only a few descendants of Fulong Temple have truly "met" it and felt its existence.
"It is indeed good to have faith in the gods and incense to create the Dharma body. Even the current Heavenly Palace is much better than the chaos in ancient times. Using the hearts of the people to create great powers means that the gods can never exist apart from the vast number of living beings. , it is both above the human world and also a subsidiary of the human world. It is really interesting. If it is really the work of heaven, it is really a wonderful idea. But maybe God has not thought of one thing, that is, the human heart is really complicated. Sometimes people’s thoughts , is beyond one’s control.”
Song You talked and looked at the Snake Fairy:
"Being controlled by others."
Snake Immortal frowned slightly.
If he was suspected of questioning the way of heaven just now, now he is pointing at the nose of the Emperor of Heaven and sarcasm.
The idea of forging gods, magic, and bodies is a beautiful idea, but sometimes people's thoughts are easily controlled by others.
For example, Fu Lei Gong, Taoism said how powerful, upright, and great he was, and that he was the righteous god who led all the Lei tribe, and the people really believed him without hesitation.
For example, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, the Chijin Emperor, is not an immoral or incompetent person. If he were truly immoral and incompetent, he would not be able to teach the man who is valued by Taoist Fuyang, who has gathered all the heroes in the world with his charisma and conquered the entire world without any rival. Taizu Dayan, but it’s hard to say how high his virtues and abilities were. It's just that the Lin family of Dayan won the world, and the original master of the Heavenly Palace also lost power in a series of changes and battles. In addition, after the drastic changes in the world, everything is waiting for a new beginning, so the Lin family's court took advantage of the general trend and created a red gold emperor, saying that he had gone through so many things. He was the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, and the people all over the world really believed him.
Believe it or not.
However, this kind of gods who do not rely on virtue but rely on the imperial court to confer power control a lot of power in the heavenly palace, which will eventually become a disaster in the long run.
If these words were heard by the gods of the Heavenly Palace, perhaps the virtuous gods would pretend that they had not heard them. If Fu Leigong and his like knew about it and spread it to the ears of Emperor Chijin, it would be a big deal.
But the snake fairy was just a little solemn.
"The people you mentioned who did not achieve the status of gods by virtue and good deeds are indeed the majority of the rebellious gods." Snake Immortal said thoughtfully, "But from my experience, it is not just that."
"oh?"
"Gods are changed by humans. People's hearts are fickle, and so are gods. Many treacherous ministers in the world were once high-spirited, brave and fearless heroes when they were young. The lifespan of gods is even longer. If those who died at a young age achieved success, It’s not surprising for gods to change their minds. Those gods who can maintain their virtues until old age and death have a small chance of changing their original intentions, but it’s just a small one.” Snake Fairy said, “We also had to deal with this kind of people back then. The gods have dealt with them and read carefully about their heroic deeds during their lifetimes, and then seeing their current appearance, anyone would be amazed.”
Yes--
The Snake Immortal in front of him had seen the fallen gods of the Heavenly Palace of the previous generation. Back then, he followed Taoist Fuyang and killed countless gods in the lower world. He has also witnessed the change of two generations of Heavenly Palace with his own eyes. The previous Lord of Heavenly Palace was destroyed in the human world, and was also destroyed at the hands of Fulongguan.
"Senior's words make sense."
Song You nodded, thoughtfully.
But that's not that important anymore.
Changes in gods are normal and unavoidable, and have been taken into consideration by Heaven.
Therefore, when it promoted great changes in the world, it did not cut off the inheritance of all ancient humane monks, but left some behind, among which Fulong Temple was particularly favored by it.
In the incense and Shinto way, the gods must have incense. If the gods lose their virtue and no longer serve the people sincerely, they still cannot do without the incense of the people, so they will use other crooked ways to absorb the incense. But this world is not a world where gods can do whatever they want. There are heavenly palaces and other gods with outstanding virtues supervising them above, and the lower realms are supervised by humane monks and imperial courts handed down from ancient times. In this way, on the one hand, many gods can be forced to cause chaos. It confuses people and makes them afraid. On the one hand, even if the gods choose to cause chaos, they do not dare to cause trouble because they are restricted and risk being beheaded.
Song You held hot tea and continued to talk with the Snake Fairy in detail.
The two started chatting, and through the relationship between the ancestors in the temple, this unspeakable bond, they quickly became familiar with each other in a short period of time.
The calico cat was lying next to it, grabbing a small fish from the bucket, holding it and chewing it. He turned to look at them from time to time, and then continued to chew.
Song You had already had psychological expectations, and he was very calm from the beginning to the end. However, the Snake Fairy became more and more happy as he talked. In a daze, he seemed to see in this young man the emotions he felt when he first walked around the world and saw the chaos in the world. Another young man frowned and hesitated, but finally he made up his mind to follow the last inheritance of the ancient humane monks, represent humanity to fight against gods, and change the new heaven.
This really made him feel dazed for a while.
Those years were so far away.
But the young man in front of him seemed to be thinking about something even more remarkable.
At least it's harder.
"I just said that the commotion you made in the north was not small compared to your ancestors. Now it seems that you have bigger ideas than them." The Snake Immortal shook his head, "I just didn't know that you wanted to restrain the gods. If you want to change your path to becoming a god, what do you want to do?"
"I just haven't figured it out." Song You frowned and thought. This is really difficult for a lazy person. "The time is not here."
"With such a great trend, we must take advantage of it."
"It's naturally easier to take advantage of the situation."
"It's a peaceful age right now. How can anyone single-handedly fight against the entire Heavenly Palace at this time? Even the most incredible power in heaven and earth in ancient times couldn't do it. Besides, this can't be accomplished overnight. It needs to be done It will take a long time to think carefully and prepare a lot," Snake Fairy said.
"Exactly."
"It's better to look at Fengzhou in the south first." Snake Fairy smiled at him, "It has been several years since the ghost city was established and the underworld is about to be completed. There are millions of ghosts in the world gathered there. I don't know who will become the master of the underworld."
"yes……"
Song You also smiled slightly.
Just now, I said that this kind of becoming a god without virtue and good deeds has great hidden dangers. Now a new underworld has come. I wonder which "Red Gold Emperor" or "Fu Lei Gong" the new owner of the underworld is?
"It just so happens that I'm going south at the beginning of spring. No matter what, I want to see Fengzhou Ghost Town." Song You said, but paused, "But somehow, I always feel that something is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know how to describe it. Many details made me suspicious, so I had to go and take a look to find out."
“It’s definitely better to see it with your own eyes.”
"correct--"
Song You spoke to the Snake Immortal, and then brought the topic back to the original point: "I heard that the "Cai Medical Classic" by Divine Doctor Cai describes the medical skills he has learned throughout his life and the nature of diseases. If it is spread to the world, I am afraid it will benefit more than just the people of the world. , countless future generations will also benefit from this. Doctor Cai has now written a book for the fourth time, which shows how unwilling he is as an old man. I can’t bear it, and I don’t know my predecessors..."
"What do you want me to do?"
"No matter how courageous the gods of the Heavenly Palace are, they would not dare to do such a thing blatantly in the presence of seniors. Divine Doctor Cai is already old and has only a few years left to live. The junior would like to ask the seniors for permission to allow Divine Doctor Cai to work under the seniors' authority from now on. I finished writing the second half of the book in the thatched hut." Song You said with his hands raised, then paused, "After the book is completed, I will take it away and spread it."
"Writing a book four times..."
The Snake Immortal was talking, and even he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
It's really amazing that the miracle doctor of the world wrote books four times and was destroyed four times. I am afraid that whether this "Tsai Medical Classic" is eventually lost or passed down successfully, it will become a legendary story passed down from generation to generation just because of the experience of being written four times and destroyed four times.
There are just two endings, one surprising and one regretful.
"I have never met Divine Doctor Cai several times. I was grateful for his medical skills and conduct, so I protected him. Last time he came to me to entrust me with medical scriptures, and seeing his sincerity, I agreed." Snake Immortal said on his side. He picked up the pottery pot and poured tea and said, "But since you, a junior, have asked me to come here, I naturally can't refuse, otherwise my old friend in heaven will probably scold me for being stingy. It's also a good thing to have him here. Let’s write books in a few fishing huts.”
Snake Fairy paused as he spoke:
"Although I don't come here often, it is still my realm after all. Ordinary Yin gods and little gods don't dare to act arrogant here, and even the named gods don't dare to come."
The tone was full of confidence.
"Thank you, senior."
Song You saluted and thanked him sincerely.
