Now that there are seven saints, no matter how much the rotating Heavenly Emperor can fight, even if he recruits one more person, he can't beat the remaining five.
Moreover, there is also Shen Gongbao among them, who is in charge of the sword of Mo Dharma. He is extremely strange and has a mysterious origin.
In theory, this plan works.
However, there is a huge question, that is why Shen Gongbao is not the Emperor of Heaven!
"Fellow Taoist, I am not the Emperor of Heaven!"
"Then why did you do this?"
"What do you want?"
All the earthly immortal saints were stunned for a moment, with a hint of confusion in their eyes. Why did Shen Gongbao work so hard to do so many things if he didn't compete for that position?
Doing good deeds every day, Shen Gongbao doesn't look like a philanthropist.
Shen Gongbao looked indifferent, smiled slightly, and explained: "Luck can assist the Emperor of Heaven to achieve immortality, but luck is not necessary to achieve immortality."
"I am a god."
Luck can speed up cultivation, but it is not a necessity.
For example, Shen Gongbao is a member of the Sanqing sect, possesses the characteristics of a heavenly immortal, and has an illusory Taoist fruit. As long as he works hard, he can naturally become a heavenly immortal without the blessing of the emperor.
All that is needed is the accumulation of innate Dao patterns, once again creating the world, sublimating the blessed land into the cave sky, and then you can enter the heavenly realm.
"What?!"
The eyes of the Earthly Immortals and Saints condensed. They aimed at the Emperor of Heaven. They had been exploring hard over the years, and based on the original results, they came to the wrong conclusion.
"It's not luck."
Emperor Zhuan and Demon Emperor frowned tightly at this moment, feeling a little shaken in their hearts.
"It turns out it's not luck."
Buddha, Taoist, and Master looked at each other and smiled, feeling somewhat relieved.
The mistake of this path is the right of all the nine states in the world.
"Son of the Emperor of Heaven, fellow Taoist Lu Zhe is in Zhuxian Town. If you don't believe me, you can ask him in detail."
Shen Gongbao said calmly, but there was a feeling of emotion in his heart.
No wonder among the five virtues, morality is the highest. If there were no sages from the immortal way to guide me, I am afraid that I would be like a few leaders and saints, walking on the wrong path for a hundred thousand years.
For simple monks like them, a few words and a definite answer are far better than thousands of scriptures and billions of immortals.
Knowing how to achieve enlightenment, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, always have a bright light burning in your heart, and forge ahead in the darkness and fog.
"Son of the Emperor of Heaven."
"Taoist Lu Zhe."
"The Great Sun Tathagata."
"Golden Crow God."
Several earthly immortal saints mentioned several identities, but they all pointed to a certain person.
"It's bitter, it's bitter!"
Taoist Lu Zha, who was hiding by the creek, felt his heart tremble and had an unknown premonition.
The world around him changed, and Taoist Lu Zhe appeared in the small void dojo where all the saints were meeting. Looking at the Taoist in black who was presiding over the meeting, he suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, wanting to cry without tears. Ever since he met Shen Gongbao in Zhuxian Town, he has been getting better and better day by day. One bad day.
First, there was the establishment of a holy religion, which was rare in a hundred thousand years, and then there was the interrogation of the saints.
"Meet the teacher."
Taoist Lu Zhe took a deep breath, bowed slightly to the Taoist Patriarch, and then bowed to the Buddha: "Meet the leader."
Buddha and Taoist ancestors nodded, as if recognizing the identity of Taoist Lu Zhe.
Shen Gongbao said with a full smile: "Fellow Taoist Lu is well versed in the three religions and cultivates both Buddhism and Taoism."
Taoist Lu Zhe smiled helplessly and said: "If you want to monitor Master Wang, you must understand Master Wang."
What is the foundation of Master Wang is that the three religions are unified into one, and finally find a common ground, establish the religion with numbers, and prove the Tao with the heart.
However, the person who is most suitable to supervise the unity of the three religions should also be able to integrate the three religions into one and be knowledgeable in hundreds of schools of thought.
Emperor Zhuan narrowed his eyes, looked at Master Zhou and said, "Has the Emperor of Heaven studied under you?"
Master Zhou said calmly: "Yes, he wanted to rebuild the heaven at that time and was quite interested in my path, but I rejected him in the end."
The Demon King smiled slightly and said, "Master, why did you refuse? This is a good opportunity to become the emperor's master."
In an instant, qi machines collided in the void, filled with murderous intent.
Imperial Master, that Imperial Master is naturally the Heavenly Emperor Master.
The Shinto Heaven that had been overthrown by a little carelessness and had gone through a lot of hard work was about to rise again, and all their efforts would become a joke.
"That's all in the past."
Taoist Lu Zhe stood solemnly, stood up and bowed, "Your majesties, don't embarrass me, teacher. If you have any questions, just ask me."
The Demon King sneered, not knowing who he was laughing at.
Emperor Zhuan's gaze was like a god, and he said bluntly: "Whether the Emperor of Heaven succeeded in transcending, what was the scene like when he transcended, what things and opinions did he leave behind."
Taoist Lu Zhe pondered for a moment, looking at the saints at the scene, and finally fixed his eyes on Shen Gongbao, and asked: "Fellow Taoist Shen, where will Zhuxian Town go from here after this incident?"
"Go to the outer starry sky." Shen Gongbao glanced at Zhuxian Town and replied: "Jiuzhou should not be able to accommodate so many gods, so why not follow me away."
Taoist Lu Zhe nodded in a daze, and after thinking carefully, he replied: "The Emperor of Heaven did succeed in transcending the realm back then. He reached a higher level, which is what you call the Immortal Realm. He also came back to see me afterward."
The expressions of the saints changed slightly, especially the two emperors. When they thought that the Emperor of Heaven might be watching them from a certain angle in the starry sky, they felt a twist in their hearts.
"If you have successfully achieved enlightenment in the realm of the Emperor of Heaven, why do you sit back and watch the heaven collapse?"
The Demon King sternly said: "He can easily suppress the rebellion of hundreds of tribes and re-establish the Shinto order."
Taoist Lu Zhe looked at the Demon King with calm eyes and said slowly: "Frog in the well, look up at the sky."
"This is what the Emperor of Heaven said to me. We are all frogs at the bottom of a well. However, the Emperor of Heaven jumped out of the well and saw the world outside. Naturally, he will not come back again."
Shen Gongbao looked a little strange. The Emperor of Heaven jumped out when he saw the scenery outside. He was the frog outside and jumped in.
"Then...where is Heaven?!"
Emperor Pan frowned and asked, "That's the foundation he built with his own hands, and he gave up so easily?"
"Heaven?"
Taoist Lu Zhe innocently spread his hands and said: "We all know what happened back then. It was obviously the Five Emperors who started the trouble themselves and fought for power and profit. It has nothing to do with my father, the Emperor of Heaven."
"After my father successfully attained enlightenment, the Emperor of Heaven was useless to him. He looked at the world in chaos and was too lazy to clean it up. He was ready to hand it over to the final victor among the Five Emperors."
"I just didn't expect..."
"I just didn't expect that all the five emperors failed." Daozu said softly, with a trace of vicissitudes in his eyes, and said slowly: "On the contrary, we humble ants marched against the sky, overthrew the divine way, and established Qi Refiners. era."
"That's good, that's good."
The Buddha pronounced the name of the Buddha, and a trace of nostalgia appeared on the faces of the saints, and they all thought of the past.
In the last era when gods ruled the world, hundreds of tribes were just ants in the eyes of the gods, merely tools to provide incense and faith and gather luck.
But later, there was civil strife in the gods, and the five emperors fought for power, wooed hundreds of tribes on the earth, and allocated some resources to them, trying to cultivate their own magic soldiers and war slaves.
Just that little bit, that slight flaw, allowed the creatures on the earth to seize the opportunity.
So the stars fell like rain, and all living beings attacked the sky, ushering in a vast, impassioned and impassioned era.
Why are there only five earthly immortal saints in the nine continents of the world? Because there were also five emperors in the heaven at that time. Some of them were beheaded, some were stolen, some were inherited, some were studied, some were killed... and finally formed today's structure.
"The frog in the well... turned out to be like this."
"That's it, that's it."
All the saints had different emotions, and Emperor Zhun then asked: "Did the Emperor of Heaven ever leave any words for the pair of detached and enlightened immortals?"
Taoist Lu Zhe looked at the Tianxiang Street in Zhuxian Town and said calmly: "Back then, when I was out fighting the enemy, only the Heavenly Official was by my father's side."
The Heavenly Officials in Heaven are in charge of the promotion and demotion of all gods. Their status may not be as good as that of the Five Emperors, but their actual power is comparable to, or even surpasses, the Five Emperors.
In that era, sentient beings often called the Heavenly Officials Zaifu, who assisted the Heavenly Emperor, managed Yin and Yang, coordinated the four seasons, and coordinated all things. He calmed down the gods of the five emperors on the outside, and attached himself to the living beings of hundreds of tribes on the inside, so that all living beings and gods could do their jobs. His job is also.
Such a big fish is also in Zhuxian Town.
However, judging from the expressions of the earthly immortal saints, it seemed that they had expected it, or even acquiesced to it, or even arranged it.
"Please take a seat, Zaifu."
Shen Gongbao waved his sleeve, and a straw futon appeared again, while ripples appeared in the void.
An old man with green hair and golden eyes appeared. He stared at the saints expressionlessly, without a trace of respect. He just slightly cupped his hands towards Taoist Lu Zhe and said, "Your Highness."
Taoist Lu Zhe stood up and returned the courtesy, looking melancholy and saying: "Uncle Yin, please excuse me."
The old man with golden eyes nodded slightly, then looked at the saints and said bluntly: "His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven did leave a few words for me. I can also say it, but there is a condition."
"Regardless of past grudges, where should our God Clan go from here today?"
"All saints, please give me a way."
Wang Zhiming looked at the old man with golden eyes, looked at him for a moment, and had an expectation in his heart. This heavenly minister was not an earthly immortal, but he was close to an earthly immortal, and his strength was very close to his own.
It's just that Wang Zhiming still has a chance of perfection, but the path of the Heavenly Prime Minister has long been cut off. The saints in all nine continents will never allow the Gods to give birth to another earthly immortal.
Where should the future of the Gods go?
Wang Zhiming thought for a moment, stood up and replied: "Fellow Daoist Shen once said that he was willing to accept the gods and lead Zhuxian Town to the outer stars."
The old man with golden eyes looked at Shen Gongbao, cupped his hands and said: "What method does the Taoist master have to accept the gods?"
"We are like lonely ghosts. If we leave Zhuxian Town, we will not be far away from each other."
"Fellow Taoist, please take a look." Shen Gongbao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to lift the Taoist crown, and a blue glazed ancestral energy emerged, evolving into a blue sky song picture.
God descends into spirit, and the energy gathered becomes treasure. God descends and gathers energy, and takes shape. Everything is born, everything is unknown, everything is established, and everything is accomplished.
The stars are shining brightly, and the emperor sits in the middle of the sky, governing with virtue, just like Beichen, with stars big and small, waiting for his throne.
The old man with golden eyes laughed out loud: "How does the Taoist master know that most of the remaining people in Zhuxian Town are Star Gods?"
Shen Gongbao bowed and sighed: "It's just a coincidence, fate has its way with people."
"What a blessing."
Regardless of the cause and effect, it is a good thing to solve the problem.
The old man with golden eyes nodded with satisfaction, looked back at the saints and said, "If you have anything you want to ask, feel free to ask."
"Detachment!"
"Promise!"
All the saints said in unison, before the Emperor of Heaven transcended, only the Prime Minister of Heaven was left to watch the ceremony. Of all the creatures in this world, only the old man with golden eyes understood this process best.
"Your Majesty said before he preached..." The old man with golden eyes said with a bit of solemnity: "What is the true self and what I am?"
The key to attaining enlightenment is not luck, energy, or the laws of the Great Way.
But it's up to me.
Whoever can figure this out will be able to attain immortality.
"who I am?"
"Who am I?!"
All the saints looked at Shen Gongbao, and what he said turned out to be true.
The key to immortality really lies in "I".
The Buddha proclaimed the Buddha's name and asked with some confusion: "Do I mean the true nature?"
The true self of reincarnation. Over the past hundred thousand years, Buddha has made great efforts in this aspect. Is his path the right one? !
The Prime Minister of Heaven, the golden-eyed old man, said calmly: "I don't know, but His Majesty once said that the internal struggles among the five emperors, apart from their respective power struggles and grudges, are more their own problems."
"The first six innate gods were born in accordance with the Great Dao. They were born powerful and born immortals. However, in the end, only His Majesty stood out, broke through himself, got rid of the shackles of the gods, reached a higher level, and transcended."
"And the other five, the Five Emperors, were immersed in their own world and did not understand their own bodies. They eventually fell into the ancient catastrophe."
"Nature..." The Demon King murmured, with a bit of confusion: "The fight between the Five Emperors back then was driven by desires from the heart. Isn't this considered nature? Isn't their joy, anger, sorrow, and self the self?"
"The character given by nature, isn't it my character?" Emperor Zhuan was also thinking, could it be that his intention to rise up for the human race and establish an empire was fake? Is this impossible?
The two emperors had many desires and began to analyze their own pasts. However, the saints of the three religions have always had their own direction and can find that mysterious and mysterious understanding.
However, there is always one layer of windows that has not been broken, only a trace of inexplicable and unexplainable feeling is missing.
Shen Gongbao smiled softly and said, "Have you ever seen yourself in the mirror?"
The hearts of the saints trembled, and they seemed to have grasped the direction.
Shen Gongbao then stood up, stood with his hands behind his hands, looked into the distance, and said leisurely: "I have two poems for you to give to all fellow Taoists."
"The first reason is: The body is like a bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror stand; brush it diligently at all times to prevent any dust."
"The second reason is: Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust."
Yes, he really knows!
In an instant, the eyes of all the saints lit up. Among them, Buddha, who had the deepest understanding, stood up and asked, "Fellow Taoist Shen, can you elaborate?"
But Shen Gongbao shook his head and said: "Everyone's nature is different. If I explain it in detail, can you believe it? Do you dare to believe it?!"
"It's good, it's good, it's Lao Monk who has taken the form." The Buddha is smart, and there is a hint of understanding in his eyes. If he takes other people's words as golden rules and takes them as his true nature, he will go astray.
No matter how outsiders want to give guidance, they can only say something similar to guide them in the direction. The real path still needs to be walked by oneself.
"Everyone, I believe in the way of heaven and immortals. It is internal and not external, it is within oneself and not in luck."
Shen Gongbao shouted and asked
All the saints stood up and returned the salute, saying in unison: "Thank you so much, fellow Taoist, for clearing up the confusion."
For a moment, the universe shook, flowers scattered in the sky, golden lotuses surged from the ground, and a trace of moral energy rose, sacred and solemn.
Shen Gongbao's eyes moved, this is also preaching to the world, is this also a moral act? !
I didn't force it deliberately, but I still got a hint of morality.
Really, if you plant flowers deliberately, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade.
