What is power?
Power is power, power is power.
Power is also a kind of power, just like the power of wisdom. It seems invisible, but it has the power to transform the universe.
The Tathagata realizes the wisdom of reality, understands everything, is incapable of destruction, and is incapable of victory. It is called: the intelligence of all places, the intelligence of karma, the intelligence of tranquility and liberation, the intelligence of root and root, the intelligence of various superior solutions, and the intelligence of all kinds. The intelligence of the world, the intelligence of all things and actions, the intelligence of abiding and reciting, the intelligence of death and rebirth, and the intelligence of all drains.
The higher the wisdom, the greater the magical power. This is the wisdom method.
If the people who are most proficient in the power of wisdom are Buddhist monks, then the people who play with power the most are emperors and generals. The greater the power they hold in their hands, the more powerful they are.
One word can make the law of the world, the authority of Shinto can do it, and the authority of humanity can also do it.
The person with power is the emperor.
The power from the top down is extremely loose and can be taken away with just an edict. This is the imperial power.
The power from the bottom up is as solid as a rock and will last forever. This is Yuxia.
The degree of power depends on how many people you can control and how many people you can make follow you.
There are many ways to control it, it can be the bloodline from the ancestors, it can be your own charm, it can be the integrity that is famous in history, it can be the gold and silver treasures in the world, it can be the power that threatens life and death, it can be the turning tide. Support the reputation of the building that is about to collapse.
In this way, all kinds of people can control power.
If you can control ten soldiers, you are the village chief; if you can control a hundred soldiers, you are a county magistrate; if you can control a thousand soldiers, you are a county guard; if you can control ten thousand soldiers, you are a military governor; if you can control a hundred thousand soldiers, you are a governor; if you can control a hundred thousand soldiers, you are a governor A scholar is the emperor.
The important events of the country are in the military and sacrificial affairs, the emperor guards the armored soldiers, and the armored soldiers guard the nine states, the organization is born.
The secrets of this kind of power are unknown to ordinary people, and even small nobles are ignorant. Only Shen Guogong, a divine family inherited from ancient times, can teach the heirs earnestly.
In addition, in his previous life, Shen Gongbao had a brief understanding of the Five Volumes of the Heavenly Book, and his understanding of power cannot be said to be remote, at least on a horizontal level.
"Part of Shen Guogong's power comes from his ancestors, the Shennong family, and part of it comes from the Yin and Shang dynasties."
"This power is extremely powerful. If I succeed as the Duke of the country, I will be comparable to a golden immortal in the Yin and Shang Dynasties."
Shen Gongbao said calmly and sat in the broad and bright hall. The wooden furniture carved with dragons and phoenixes were placed in an orderly manner. A million-year-old dragon ball on the dome was shining brightly, white and white. There are exquisite landscape paintings hanging on the walls. The mountains and water flows in the paintings seem to be vividly displayed on the paper, making people feel like they are on the scene.
If you look carefully, you will find that among the mountains and rivers, there are countless villains waving weapons and weapons, their blood is surging, and the sounds of war are thunderous, forming one legion after another.
One thousand small worlds after another, one army after another, loyal to Shen Guogong from generation to generation, this is one of the foundations of ancient inheritance.
A huge bronze bell hangs south of Suzaku, and a large copper tripod is rooted in the courtyard, exuding an ancient atmosphere. The bell and tripod are aligned, with mottled patina on the surface. The traces of time seem to tell the vicissitudes of history.
"But..." Shen Gongbao paused, smiled slightly and said: "I only inherited this power, but I do not own it."
"The edict of Huoyundong can depose Duke Shen, and the imperial edict of the Yin and Shang emperor can also depose Duke Shen."
"When the world is really falling apart, what's the use of a mere prince."
"I understood this truth long before I became a monk and practiced Taoism."
"I am a Kunlun Yisanxian, so what can the Duke do to me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ringing bells and cauldrons in front of Shen Gongbao gradually turned into a phantom, and many of the Yingying Yanyans derived from the power of Shen Gongbao, who had the power of life and death, all disappeared.
Old scenes fell and new scenes emerged. The eternal Taoist Lord of Yuanyang Realm and the supreme saint of Jiuzhou World were all beheaded by Shen Gongbao one after another.
Finally, he heard the bell ringing, and with his crown on his head, he sat on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, replacing the Red Emperor as the Lord of the Heavenly Court and governing the three realms. Even Emperor Fengdu surrendered, and the universe was truly unified.
He thus merged with the Tao universe and transformed into a genuine Shinto emperor.
Shen Gongbao shook his head, smiled lightly, and stretched out his hand to erase the scene in front of him.
Suddenly, the voice of the God of Power sounded in the void, saying with some temptation: "You can choose to stay."
"Leave?"
Shen Gongbao looked sideways and asked, "What do you mean?"
"You know, this is a secret realm created by the One who opened the sky."
The God of Power chuckled and said: "In other words, this is the first cause, and the choices made here will definitely be realized in future generations."
"If you give up trying to break through the barrier and choose to become the Emperor of Heaven, then this scene will become a destiny in the future and become an eternal landmark."
"Give up here and go to the Three Realms to become the Golden Immortal Emperor!"
"I swear in the name of the One who opened the sky, I didn't lie."
The long river of time emerges at this moment, because the key node in history has arrived again, and the real future appears on the sparkling water.
Countless time tributaries collapsed at this moment and were about to converge into a node.
Destined to become the Emperor of Heaven.
God of power, no lies, everything comes true.
"Not bad, not bad." Shen Gongbao clapped his hands and praised: "This is indeed an attractive choice. I admit that I am really moved."
"Then are you ready to become the Heavenly Emperor?" the God of Power asked with a smile.
"No!"
Shen Gongbao looked serious and said seriously: "What I like to do most is to say no to people who are self-righteous."
I saw him raising his hand and easily erasing the destined position of Emperor of Heaven.
The void was silent.
After a long time, the God of Power sighed: "Why?"
Shen Gongbao laughed, stood with his hands behind his hands, and said proudly: "I am also the Emperor of Heaven, why should I be the Emperor of Heaven in the Lotus Lantern Universe?"
"Which universe are you the Emperor of Heaven?"
The God of Power was a little stunned and couldn't help but curiously asked
"Pindao is the king of body and mind, the emperor of the human body and the universe."
Shen Gongbao stepped forward, raised his fist to the sky, and laughed loudly and said: "Three parts, eight scenes and twenty-four, the human body has thirty-six thousand gods, the soul is in the middle and is called the Jade Emperor, and the blue and yellow springs are connected to the sky."
A true picture of Biluo Kongge emerges behind the head, which interacts with many gods in the human body to build a vast starry sky and a human body universe. The Qi is as surging as the vast ocean, and the will is as profound as the universe of heaven and earth.
With one punch, light returns to the sun and moon, darkness returns to void, multiple dimensions emerge, and the vacuum is shattered!
Even the human race can transform the body of the ancient god into an immortal from Xingtian's place, not to mention the Golden Emperor who was originally an innate god.
Over the years, Shen Gongbao has already absorbed the physical body of the ancient god and the blood of the human immortal, and combined with the spiritual treasure Biluo spirit, he has developed a martial arts path that is unique to him.
Heaven and earth are one universe, and the human body is one universe.
I am also the Emperor of Heaven!
"Boom!"
The sound of a switch sounded in the void, and a little bit of darkness was peeled off, symbolizing that Shen Gongbao had officially passed through the barrier of power and entered the second level - the barrier of fraternity.
"Welcome to the Gate of Universal Love, Lord of Kunlun."
Although the Ice God, the guardian of the second level, said welcome, his voice was like December ice, whizzing past the north, freezing anyone's heart.
At this moment, Shen Gongbao's Taoist heart actually felt a little chill, as if he was trying to persuade him why he was working so hard and fighting so hard.
With such hard work and struggle, can he attain Daluo, be considered the best in the world, and attain Pangu? !
Shen Gongbao's expression changed slightly and he couldn't help but start thinking.
What is the purpose of practice, where is the end point of practice, and what exactly are you pursuing? !
Asking himself, Shen Gongbao felt that it was possible for him to become Da Luo, but he thought that being the best in the world was illusory, and becoming Pangu was even more of a joke.
"In that case, why don't you give up?!"
"There are always people in all the worlds who come to be treated as trash, why can't this person be me?!"
"Giving up is such a happy thing. There is no need to suffer anymore, no need to polish the Taoist mind, no need to think anymore."
"Just lie here and show off like this."
The Ice God's voice was devoid of any emotion. The God of Different Powers did not bring any temptation. He just stated a fact as it is.
In the cave covered with ice and snow, there was a sudden earthquake, the ground began to crack, and an ice and snow coffin appeared, welcoming Shen Gongbao to move in.
"Ice God, you are more deceptive than the God of Power."
Shen Gongbao said solemnly, keeping himself away from the ice coffin.
"It's not me who confuses you, but your Taoist heart." Bing Shen said calmly: "You only lived a few years in your previous life, but you have practiced Taoism for a thousand years in this life. This is a multiple difference."
"Aren't you tired at all? Haven't you ever thought about giving up?"
"Don't think about nonsense about becoming a god, don't participate in the Shang and Zhou wars, just lie down on the Mount of Eternal Life, and wait tens of thousands of years to go fish in the North Sea and sleep."
"Fishing every day, looking at the sea view, chatting with the dragon girl, and lying in the eye of the sea when you feel sleepy."
"What a comfortable day it is."
"Who are you going to work for after all the hard work? Wouldn't it be nice to settle in Haiyan and enjoy your retirement life early?"
"How dare you mess with my Taoist heart." Shen Gongbao shouted and said with a solemn expression: "The road is tortuous but the future is bright. New things will definitely replace the old things."
"As long as I work hard, life will get sweeter and sweeter."
Bing Shen said calmly: "That's because you don't understand the original logic of the universe's operation."
"Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things bear yin and hold yang, and the energy is in harmony."
“If there is yin, there must be yang; if there is up, there must be down.”
"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is excess damage; the way of man is to make up for the deficiency when there is excess damage."
"This is the great road!"
"No!" Shen Gongbao raised his head and said proudly: "This is your avenue, not mine. No one knows the avenue better than me!"
"My great road lies in the laws of heaven, in disasters, in movement, and in change."
"Flowing water does not rot, and door hinges do not suffer from beetles."
"If you are stubborn, disaster will happen, and disaster will follow."
"This is the power of heaven and the harm of Tao."
"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, and the calamity is where the glimmer of hope lies."
Shen Gongbao's words were astonishing and enlightening, leaving the Ice God silent for a long time before he used his final trump card.
"You let the Emperor of Heaven fall into doom to maintain the rule of heaven."
"how about you?"
Ice God said coldly: "You killed the Emperor of Heaven, and you became a more powerful being than the Emperor of Heaven."
"The Emperor of Heaven has entered a catastrophe and has moved the fortunes. Then do you want to enter a catastrophe?"
"Those who are in charge of disasters should not go through them."
This is the question at the end of the road, whether Shen Gongbao is in his own way.
The dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon, so the last step in slaying the dragon is to kill himself.
However, this step is so difficult.
Shen Gongbao thought for a long time and slowly uttered eight words: "The body is in it, and the Tao is outside it."
In the future, the laws of heaven will be imposed on the body, and it will be caused by one's own actions, and the calamity will go away, with all the cause and effect.
Although he turned into a bird in the net, he has become a Kunpeng outside the net.
Although he killed his own nature, he shaped the great road and allowed his own way to last forever.
This leads to the fact that people have no self, gods and men have no merit, and saints have no name.
"Incorporate your own fraternity into the rules of heaven. Although it is tricky, it is still okay."
"To be just and impartial means to love everyone equally. This is the great love of heaven and earth."
"You have gained the Golden Immortal Taoist Heart."
Ice God spoke slowly, raised his hand, and opened the third level door.
"Golden Immortal?"
Shen Gongbao was thoughtful. He had roughly figured out the path to becoming a Celestial Immortal, and it would be a matter of course. However, he still had only a partial understanding of the Golden Immortal realm.
However, now it seems that Jinxian has something to do with killing me, having no self, and being in harmony with the Tao.
Only by killing yourself can you gain true freedom.
"The original nature is empty, the original nature is empty, the original nature becomes empty...how come it smells like the annihilation of the Buddha."
"Yes, the Golden Immortal Realm is the Immortal Realm opened by the Two Saints of the West."
"The Golden Immortal should be the predecessor of Buddha."
"Among the twelve superior immortals, Cihang, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and Detention Sun are the golden immortals who explain the teachings."
Shen Gongbao was thoughtful, stepping into the threshold of death.
The Ice God appeared, a woman. She looked at the first level and asked, "Quan God, what do you think of him?"
"It's a little weird."
Quan Shen was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, and the calamity is where the glimmer of hope lies. No matter how it sounds, it doesn't sound like the original Dao lineage."
The great road is fifty, the heavenly road is forty-nine. There have always been two solutions.
One is the widely circulated idea of intercepting a glimmer of hope. Everything, even if you are in a desperate situation, as long as you have enough wisdom and strength, you can eventually break out of the situation.
There is another solution. This is not a glimmer of hope, but the origin of the great avenue, the innate ancestral energy.
Forty-nine are derived from one, the great road is one, the way of heaven is four-nine, innate is one, and the day after tomorrow is four-nine.
The combination of innate and acquired is the number fifty of the Great Evolution.
The former tends to teach through interception, while the latter tends to teach through explanation.
Originally, a sentence or two on Taoism was nothing, but as the god of power, when I saw the picture of Bi Luo Kong Song behind Shen Gongbao's head, and saw the three eight scenes and twenty-four true gods, the more I looked at it, the more I felt something was wrong.
This is all Lingbao's stuff.
"Let's take a look at his performance at the crossroads of death."
Bing Shen said calmly: "Only in the face of life and death can we find out the answer."
"The human heart is dangerous, but the Dao heart is weak." The God of Power looked over, wanting to know whether Shen Gongbao would choose the Dao heart or the human heart in the face of death.
…
At the threshold of death, the voice of the God of Death is calm and delicate, not as intense as the first two gods.
However, the questions raised were more intense than the previous two levels.
After all, it was death.
