Destiny is made by oneself. If the scholar Li Yi does not strengthen himself, he will be favored by destiny, and he will be inactive and live his life like a rich man.
If the wind and rain gather together, he catches up with the change of dynasty in three hundred years, and becomes a minister who cares about life, he hopes to leave his name in history and be praised by thousands of people.
If you go one step further, your ambition will expand, and your descendants will be blessed, forming a pattern of a python swallowing a dragon. If you cannot ascend to the great treasure, your descendants can also posthumously crown him as the supreme emperor.
His destiny was made by him. If he had not met Shen Gongbao, Li Yi's biggest fate would be to be chased as emperor. Facing Yuanyang Shinto, the vast heaven would be vulnerable.
However, when Li Yi met Shen Gongbao, his destiny and destiny changed instantly. He was no longer limited to the human world, but was expected to become a disciple of the future Taoist Lord, and then ascend to the position of the second generation Taoist Lord, with a chance of becoming the master of the three realms. of slim hope.
In an instant, surrounded by purple energy, fate favored her, and her fate, which was originally just a touch of light blue, instantly became gloomy, noble, and even had a hint of purple.
"Fate, luck, and the so-called destiny are nothing more than this."
Shen Gongbao thought thoughtfully, the intertwining of innate destiny and acquired destiny, running in the human world, is the mysterious and mysterious road of destiny.
Li Yi's fate had quietly changed the moment he met him.
The opportunity has come. Whether he can seize it or not depends on Li Yi's own good fortune, heaven's movement, and a gentleman's constant self-improvement.
"There are things that are mixed together, born from heaven and earth, lonely and lonely, independent without changing, moving around without peril, they can be the mother of heaven and earth."
"I don't know its name. The prefix is Dao, and the strong name is Da."
"Great means passing, passing away means far away. Far away means reverse. Therefore, the Tao is great, the sky is great, the earth is great, and the king is also great."
"There are four major ones in the domain, and the king occupies one of them."
"Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."
Shen Gongbao came and preached eloquently, passed down the words of saints and sages, established the great road of human kings, and performed the act of unifying the three religions. He had a majestic moral aura, and the golden light of immeasurable merits was swaying. The small world trembled, and the void rang, as if there were ghosts and gods crying. .
Since the Middle Ages in the Yuanyang Realm, Shinto has occupied the sea of Haotian's vitality and has been the orthodoxy of heaven and earth. Now, a new force has emerged to challenge Shinto's status, which is a ground-breaking move.
The scholar Li Yi was horrified, these are heart-piercing words, in this world the Heavenly Court is the only one, the Dragon Court stands side by side, and the Divine Way is the only one.
As a human being and a minister, only by worshiping gods and respecting the king can one be granted official positions, command ghosts and gods, and have the power to cast spells. He can be a divine official in heaven, a yin official on earth, and a hundred officials among humans.
Even the Holy Son of Heaven is in the Shinto system and is under the Emperor of Heaven. How can he stand side by side with Heaven and Earth?
The Tao is great, the sky is great, the earth is great, and the king is also great. This is a naked rebellious statement.
Even if any emperor harbors such thoughts, he should hide them deeply in his heart. Once he speaks out, he will be guilty of sin and will have nothing to pray for.
Li Yi wanted to scold loudly, but he missed his stepmother's ruthless stepmother and kicked him out of the house. His original patriarchal will was much weaker. Along the way, he saw countless corrupt officials, even the gods were corrupt, and he lost confidence in the court.
Honesty begets integrity, integrity begets authority. For two hundred years of great chastity, the order has already been half broken. How can we convince all living beings? The fate of the world is scattered, and there are countless hidden dragons. It is already full of vitality and all things are competing.
Now that I met Shen Gongbao, my luck suddenly flourished, overcoming the fear in my heart.
Li Yi gritted his teeth and asked desperately: "Dare I ask the great sage, why do humans follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature?"
"The emperor orders the ghosts and gods, and the three officials cast spells to show their holiness. Isn't this a divine ordination from heaven?!"
"Heaven, earth, and people are all part of nature. The wind, clouds, thunder, lightning, mountains, rivers, land, vegetation, creatures, and even people are all part of the world. There is no distinction between superior and inferior, just the proportion they occupy. They come from the Tao and go from the Tao. .”
Shen Gongbao smiled and said: "Whether it is divine magic, Taoism, or even mortal technology, it is the path to understand nature, transform nature, and ultimately master the laws and gain insight into the laws."
"Three thousand paths lead to the same goal. No matter what the starting point is, the ultimate goal is to master the truth of the universe."
"Both are called mysteries, mysteries are mysteries, they are the door to all mysteries."
"A god calls wind and rain, not out of thin air, but by transporting water vapor from large rivers, from places with more water vapor to places with less water vapor."
"If a mortal builds water conservancy, digs clouds and rivers, builds waterwheels, builds dams, and guides the direction of rivers, how are they different from water gods?"
"All Taoist methods, divine methods, immortal methods, magic...the three thousand methods are all tools, tools for seeking the Tao and asking questions."
Li Yi suddenly froze on the spot, like a thunderbolt from the blue, splitting open the realm of chaos in his mind and opening up a new world.
The truth in the world is as simple as that. Wherever it is placed, it is just separated by a layer of gauze and a window.
However, if there is no one to guide, then no one will push it away for thousands of years, especially when the imperial court lists the words of hundreds of schools of thought as a forbidden book, using fame, fortune and official position to seduce all living beings, control resources, and control luck.
No matter how great your wisdom is, you can only write about eight-part essays and scheming in the fame and fortune market. You have no chance to explore the avenue of heaven and earth.
Even if he wakes up in his later years and realizes that he has fallen into the trap of the imperial court, it will be too late. If he wants to ask for help again, his body will no longer agree.
Only in the last years of the dynasty, when one's thoughts are no longer rigid and one encounters the guidance of a wise master, can one be able to achieve a profound enlightenment and see clearly the many shackles under the cage of fate.
“People can explore nature and transform it without resorting to official positions and luck.”
Li Yi suddenly realized, his eyes were full of desire for knowledge, but many puzzles arose. He immediately scratched his head, quickly changed his words, and couldn't wait to ask: "Teacher, why are the four major universities in the domain Wang Da instead of Renmin University! "
"This is a secret and cannot be taught to the six ears."
Shen Gongbao smiled mysteriously and walked towards the top of the mountain.
Li Yi was suddenly startled. For fear of falling behind, he chased after him and shouted: "Teacher, wait for me."
The Yunduan Mountains are majestic and undulating, surrounded by mountains. As far as the eye can see, it is endless. Many Buddhist and Taoist monks hid in it in order to avoid being pursued by the court.
On one of the mountain peaks, there is a temple dedicated to the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, the Great Merciful and Great Compassion. The temple is not big, and there are only two nuns, one old and one young.
The old nun has been ordained and can be regarded as a bhikshuni, and is somewhat virtuous, but the young nun is ignorant and full of curiosity about the two outsiders.
I saw Shen Gongbao holding incense and walking in front of the clay statue of Guanyin, but he did not pay homage like a believer.
Bend slightly, light the Buddhist incense, and suddenly the green smoke will appear, conveying the message to the void Dharma Realm, and receiving the blessings of the Three Jewels of the Ten Directions.
The little nun suddenly frowned and reminded: "Now that I see Guanyin, why don't you worship?"
Shen Gongbao immediately smiled and said: "The four great Bodhisattvas are the senior brothers of the poor Tao. In the past, the Buddha was the teacher of the poor Tao; the Arhats in the Heavens are the juniors of the poor Tao; and the Dharma Protector Jialan is the guest of the poor Tao."
"Therefore, I cannot worship."
