Inside the Eight Views Palace, the lights are always bright, and it looks vast, yet extremely simple.
There is a futon, an old man, and the breath of endless Taoism is everywhere.
At this moment, Shen Xin finally met face to face with this saint who was the leader of the Three Pure Ones, the leader of the Humanity Sect, and the first disciple of Hongjun.
"Fellow Taoist..." After exiting the Tai Chi diagram, Shen Xin pointed forward and spoke decisively: "Today we are in the enemy's hands. We have given up our lives. It is up to you whether you want to kill or behead me."
Shen Xin was really angry and excited at the moment. After all, no one could hold back their anger when faced with such a backstabbing incident.
Why save me.
Do you need to give an explanation?
You cheater, hurry up and give me a dead end.
Laojun's action was completely beyond his expectation. Originally, I snatched away your Tai Chi diagram and put it under your buttocks?
You should be angry no matter what, but what about your anger? Can you have some reaction?
At this time, Shen Xin wished he could hold the sword in his hand and ask the world who is the hero?
"Come on, kill if you want. If I frown, blink, tighten my nose, swallow, clench my teeth, tilt my neck, and bend my toes, I am no longer Shen Xin."
With excitement, Shen Xin looked at Lao Jun sternly.
Now that things have come to this, we still have to fight for what we should fight for. What if, I say, what if there is hope?
People should never give up.
Give it a try, there is nothing wrong. If you succeed, you will die and become a saint.
If you fail, you have to start all over again. Life is heroic in terms of success or failure.
Besides, everyone knows that Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun wore a pair of trousers. At the beginning, Yunxiao among the gods was also taken away by them, and it seemed that his life was saved.
However, in the end, wasn't he killed by Yuanshi Tianzun and put on the list of gods?
In short, there is still hope.
While Shen Xin was wandering in his thoughts, Lao Jun slowly opened his eyes, smiled and said calmly:
"Fellow Taoist, you seem to want to die?"
Congratulations, you guessed it right! But there was no reward, Shen Xin couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Fellow Taoist's theory of the way of heaven seems to be a little different from ordinary people?" Lao Jun looked over suddenly with burning eyes.
Shen Xinxin was overjoyed: "Is it possible that fellow Taoist disciples don't agree with it either?"
"Then it seems that I will definitely die today."
Lao Jun's expression suddenly stiffened, as if he was stunned by Shen Xin's words.
But he reacted quickly, and then he raised his eyes and looked out to the sky slightly, as if he didn't hear, and said to himself:
"Heaven has no relatives and is always kind to others."
"Tao loves all things universally, without any distinction between closeness and distance."
"Huh?"
Why do these words sound so familiar? Shen Xin frowned, suddenly feeling indescribably complicated:
"So, fellow Taoist, you want to say that the way of heaven has no relationship and will not change because of anyone?"
Wait, no, that doesn’t make sense?
Shen Xin was a little confused.
Didn’t Laojun always believe in inaction, and even more agreed with Yuanshi Tianzun’s theory of destiny?
Why do you agree with yourself now, saying that the way of heaven has no relatives and is always kind to others?
This "no relatives" can be understood as the meaning of "no partiality". The so-called "goodness" is more hidden in Laojun's point of view.
That is to say, “With no partiality, the “virtue of inaction” of Tao is fully exerted, and then all things can grow and develop without interference.
Rather, it has the meaning of doing nothing for the people and letting the people transform themselves.
Laojun nodded with a smile and continued: "Human follows the earth, earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."
"Tao" means "naturally, what fellow Taoists do will also follow themselves, and they will also understand the way of heaven."
The more Shen Xin listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. It was not that what Lao Jun said was wrong, but that Lao Jun's current state was wrong.
Why doesn't it feel like you want to kill me?
On the contrary, there is a feeling of discussing each other's truths and confirming each other's opinions.
"The doctor's theory of the impermanence of heaven coincides with some of the poor Taoist's thoughts." Laojun's eyes flashed with light, and there was an appreciative smile at the corner of his mouth:
"Humans follow the laws and characteristics of the earth, the earth imitates the sky, and the sky uses Tao as the basis for its operation, and the Tao comes naturally."
"Only by following nature can one be qualified to understand the most profound principles and touch the great road."
"Fellow Taoist, how does Heaven compare with Tao?" Shen Xin frowned and suddenly spoke.
"Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. Tao is the source of all things."
I understand, good guy, really good guy, I finally know why Lao Jun wanted to save himself from Yuan Shi.
This is obviously an old man who wrote the Tao Te Ching, and his statement that the way of heaven is permanent and does not exist for Yao or perish for Jie is Xunzi's theory.
However, Xunzi’s thought comes from Laozi’s Tao Te Ching.
Damn it!
Everything is right, this is a fucking cycle!
I offended Yuanshi Tianzun with Xunzi's theory, but it made Laojun agree.
On the other hand, if I use other theories to offend Laojun, will other saints agree with me?
Mudd!
Careless!
Shen Xin murmured in his mouth: "Fellow Taoist is right, but is it possible that if I die, I will follow the natural way of heaven?"
"But the poor Taoist felt something in his heart, so he took action naturally, and he also followed the way of heaven." Laojun said slowly.
Damn it, you don’t think I’m lying, do you?
I really didn’t lie. Heaven’s will is to let me be on the list and go through all the calamities of heaven and earth before I can become a saint in the end!
I am just following the natural way of heaven!
But after thinking about it, it seemed that Laojun did the right thing. Moved by his thoughts, he took action naturally, not wanting to see a moral man die in Xiqi.
Just like taking away Yunxiao in front of the Yellow River Formation or taking away the Taoist Duobao in the Zhuxian Formation, he developed a feeling of cherishing talents.
Laojun has a criminal record in this regard, and he doesn't want to see anyone die in vain.
However, Laojun is right, and so am I. We are all following the way of heaven, so who is really wrong?
Doctor Shen suddenly didn't understand.
Is this fate kidding itself?
Talking too much brings tears to my eyes. How can something so unreliable happen?
So, in the final analysis, the fault of being alive today is all my fault?
It was me, stabbed in the back, me?
Can you also say that the clown is actually myself?
etc! Let me take a moment, it happened too suddenly.
Shen Xin suddenly felt that he should take some quick-acting heart-saving pills now, it was heartbreaking!
After confirming that he could not die, Shen Xin felt extremely depressed, and then asked helplessly:
"Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist, but I don't know when I can return to Xiqi?"
Lao Jun once again pretended not to hear, but stared at the front seriously. Shen Xinxin was terrified after looking at it. After a long while, he slowly said:
"I wonder what you think of Western religion?"
Western religion? Why did Laojun suddenly ask this question? Shen Xin replied subconsciously in confusion:
"The people in the West cultivate the golden body relics and lotus dharma. They believe that they are pure and inactive, and are not disturbed by the world. But unfortunately, peace comes and goes. In the end, it is oneself who has to cross..."
At this time, Western teachings are not yet complete, and there is no Buddha's teachings. Jieyin Zhunti is also busy cultivating himself, and only wants to bring glory to the West.
There is no teachings from future generations to save all sentient beings.
"Fellow Taoist indeed has his own understanding of the Western way, which may be different in the future." Lao Jun stared at Shen Xin in front of him, feeling only a fiery light flash in his eyes. After admiring him, the smile on his lips became even thicker.
Huh? Wait, there's something wrong with you!
Your expression is wrong, you must be unkind.
Laojun, what do you want to do?
Doctor Shen suddenly had some inexplicable speculations in his mind. You must know that Lao Jun is a saint. In the final analysis, although he seems to be doing nothing, he still has a human character after all.
Human beings have seven emotions and six desires.
And if he was truly inaction, he would not be able to participate in the dispute over interpretation.
Therefore, saving yourself cannot be all about letting nature take its course as he said, but it is about something that you fancy in yourself.
At this moment, we talked about Western religion again, saying that we should not be scheming to lead, but we must mention it.
As for Lao Jun's plan, it may be related to a major event he did in the Conferred God.
That should probably be - turning Hu into Buddha!
Good guy, no wonder Laojun doesn’t hesitate to snatch people from the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun, so that’s what he meant...
Who am I?
Leaving the tiger's den of Western religion and entering the wolf's den of Laojun?
You said earlier that you wanted to transform Hu into a Buddha and ferry people to the West. Just now I didn't talk to you. You must be pretending.
If he had gone to the West, how would he be on the list of gods?
After sensing Lao Jun's thoughts, Shen Xin felt bad again.
His only thought now is to leave Bajing Palace as soon as possible, and I want to save myself.
This place is dangerous!
…
Outside Xiqi City, there was an atmosphere of sadness. The dark weather and the cold north wind made the generals feel even heavier.
It was already midnight, but none of Zhang Guifang, Lu Xiong, Huang Tianxiang and other generals were willing to rest.
Because Doctor Shen, Sanxiao, and Shitianjun are all gone.
No one knows whether the doctor is well at this moment, whether he is alive or dead.
In the camp, Zhang Guifang kept wiping the spear in her hand with her hands, and she refused to stop even if the cold light shone from the wiping.
Lu Xiong squinted and stared at the topographic map on the table to study, but with his white hair and trembling body, he looked more like a dying old man at this moment.
Huang Tianxiang had a deep expression and was silent. He stood in the cold wind and kept looking at the sky, never blinking for a moment.
The Yin Shang soldiers, who were originally so powerful, were like eggplants beaten by frost, completely losing their faith and hope.
Lu Xiong was a veteran after all. He glanced at everyone, and finally looked at Zhang Guifang, Huang Tianxiang and others, and said solemnly: "Generals, although Dr. Shen has lost his trace, I believe that nothing will happen to him."
"We must cheer up at this moment, and we must not let Xiqi take advantage of it and ruin the doctor's hard work."
Everyone knew in their hearts that this was an extraordinary period and the matter was not over yet. Doctor Shen and Jie Jiao disciples were captured. According to Jiang Ziya's method of leading troops, the other side would not show any mercy.
They will definitely take advantage of your illness to kill you. They will attack the merchant camp at night, then set fire to the food, and drive all the generals to death.
Everyone present is an experienced warrior, and they will definitely understand this truth.
Zhang Guifang's face was still dark, and she couldn't help but feel sad.
But after all, he was a general in command of a hundred thousand troops. Zhang Guifang knew that he could not stay in sorrow at this time, so he slowly stopped wiping his gun.
For Doctor Shen, he had to be strong, so he said with a solemn expression:
"What the old general said is absolutely true. Jiang Ziya is a god with his troops and is an extremely difficult opponent. Now that Dr. Shen, whom he fears most, is not in the camp, he will not miss this great opportunity."
"Urgent order, the vanguard officer Feng Lin will guard the left camp, the seven-headed general Yu Hua will guard the right camp, and General Huang will lead the archers to guard the rear camp's food and grass."
"The whole army is on guard against the attack of Xiqi's army, and sent people to rush hundreds of miles to pass the news here to Chaoge, report to the Grand Master, report to His Majesty, and request reinforcements."
After Zhang Guifang finished giving instructions, she looked seriously at Huang Tianxiang in the distance and shouted: "Tianxiang...Tianxiang, you have to cheer up!"
Huang Tianxiang saw the generals around him taking orders and leaving. It was not until Zhang Guifang and Lu Xiong came to his side that he realized that someone was calling him.
Zhang Guifang gave the order again, and then comforted loudly: "The doctor was just captured by the saint. We didn't see the body. He won't die, he won't die!"
"I believe that my adoptive father will not be in danger, but...but he is a saint!" Tears flashed from the corners of Huang Tianxiang's eyes. He thought of his adoptive father's mighty and unyielding figure, and how his adoptive father led him to eliminate violence and save people. The figure of the common people in the world.
Time seems to have returned to yesterday.
Foster father! Foster father, why are you so impulsive? Even if you know the danger, you still have to step forward.
Those passionate and shocking words are still lingering in my ears at this moment.
Every time he recalls it, Huang Tianxiang feels that his adoptive father is his biggest idol.
He regretted it, and even more regretted that he didn't have the strength to save his adoptive father!
"We must believe in Dr. Shen, and we should work hard to fulfill his wishes."
"Don't worry, I will inherit my father's legacy and fight against Xiqi with all my strength. I will never destroy Jiang Shang!" Huang Tianxiang pinched his white fingers, looked ahead, and said every word, with an extremely serious expression on his face.
"Alas!" Lu Xiong beside him couldn't help but sigh, wanting to comfort him, but couldn't say anything.
Suddenly, Zhang Guifang frowned and turned to look into the dark night. Then, Lu Xiong, Huang Tianxiang and other generals looked at him at the same time.
"Xiqi is here!" Zhang Guifang said solemnly.
Everyone was startled immediately, picked up their weapons in an instant, and rushed outside the camp. They saw fire suddenly flashing in the dark night sky and strong winds rising.
Woohoo! Winter winter winter!
Several large armies secretly arrived at the Yin Shang Yuan Gate. There were fire signals on the left and right, a signal cannon, the three armies shouted, the drums beat loudly, and the killing sounds began.
Countless Xiqi soldiers surrounded the Yin Shang camp and shouted:
"Holy Lord Xiqi, the destiny of heaven has been restored. King Zhou is unruly and has framed all the people. Shen Xin is dead and there is no way out."
"Why don't you join Xiqi and enjoy good health! Why do you use your strength to become a solitary man and bring about your own destruction?"
"Those who surrender will avoid death, those who resist will not survive!"
"Why don't you surrender quickly!"
The endless shouts of killing awakened the soldiers from all directions, and the Yin Shang camp instantly burst into flames.
Lu Xiong, Zhang Guifang and others were in the middle of the gate, shouting constantly: "Army, don't be alarmed, get up with me quickly and kill the enemy!"
Before he finished speaking, two dazzling rays of light came through the sky.
The strong wind blew down, and one silver and one red turned out to be two heroic female generals. They were each wearing a suit of light armor. They looked around in the camp, seeming to be looking for something anxiously.
Zhang Guifang looked flustered and a little at a loss because the people coming were none other than Princess Xiqi and the little fox who was allied with the missing person.
In order to reach an alliance, the two fought wits and courage for countless rounds, refusing to give in to each other.
But in the end, no matter how tough the princess was, she still managed to win over an alliance after the little fox had her mouth opened.
At this moment, they didn't know that Shen Xin had been captured by Lao Jun. After all, the saint came and left so quickly that they couldn't react in time.
But now Xiqi came to the door and looked around, looking for Dr. Shen.
"Where's Dr. Shen?" The little fox stared intently at the sound of killing shouts everywhere. He quickly rushed to Zhang Guifang and asked in a deep voice.
"Why are you here? You are making such a fool of yourself. Go back to a safe place." In Zhang Guifang's eyes, the two women were just vases who did not understand military affairs and did not know how to fight.
With the army in chaos at this moment, how could they be protected, and how would they be informed of Dr. Shen in the future if danger arose.
So he shouted quickly.
But the little fox and the princess not only did not move, but asked again in a solemn voice: "Where is Doctor Shen? What happened to him?"
There were Xiqi troops in the distance, especially those who said that Shen Xin was dead, which made the two women extremely anxious.
The little fox glanced around, but could not see Doctor Shen at all.
The solemn look on Zhang Guifang's face turned to sadness, and the two women's hearts trembled.
"Shen... Doctor Shen." Zhang Guifang sighed deeply: "He was captured by a saint, and we don't know whether he is alive or dead!"
After saying that, he tightened his grip on the spear in his hand.
boom!
The air around the little fox exploded violently, and waves of terrifying aura overflowed uncontrollably, indicating that the power of misfortune in her body was beginning to be out of control.
Her eyes began to turn red, flashing with a strange color, her tail behind her kept swaying, and she asked in a low and cold voice:
"What happened?"
"Who is it? Who harmed Dr. Shen?"
Zhang Guifang was startled by the appearance of the fox in front of her. She actually felt a little chilly and subconsciously told what happened today.
Especially at the end, when it comes to Dr. Shen's unyielding figure facing two saints alone.
Zhang Guifang seems to have a breath in her heart that has been blocked and cannot be released:
"The doctor never lowered his head even to the death. Even when facing a saint, he never flinched."
"He is truly a hero in the world!"
Zhang Guifang felt better after talking about the matter. Looking at the two women who were already in bloom, she still wanted to persuade her again:
"You two girls, this place is dangerous. Xiqi has already attacked. We may not be our opponents, so we should hide..."
Install the latest version. 】
But the little fox's tail had already stood up, and its eyes had turned a strange red.
Then there was a step.
"boom!"
Outside Xiqi City, the stars were turning, a dark wind suddenly rose from all sides, and countless dark clouds rolled in like a tide, covering up the stars and the moon in an instant.
Zhang Guifang was so shocked by the terrifying aura that she retreated continuously.
The little fox raised his hand, casually grabbed the spear in Zhang Guifang's hand, then rose into the sky and broke through the gate.
A terrifying sound suddenly sounded outside Xiqi City, suppressing the shouts of death from all directions:
"Xiqi, explain, Jiang Ziya, I curse you!"
…
