Eight Views Palace.
Taishang Taoist Master sensed a trace of breath, but if he hadn't been calm and composed, he might not have been able to feel it.
Now I am satisfied, but also a little moved - what is going on in this world, and who can touch anyone above me?
…
the other side.
After the New Year, Yamazaki led the team on a trip. While traveling, they headed to Nanjing Pass, which is 60 million miles away.
But instead of going straight, we took a detour, from Dongshengshenzhou to Beijuluzhou, then to Xiniuhezhou, Nanfanbuzhou, and finally to Buzhou Mountain.
They didn't mind any other business on the way, they just looked at various things from Ling Haiyang, Ling Jintang, Shaoyao and Gu Ling'er, and introduced them to people, family matters, city competitions, faction fights, and the dirty things in the court.
Teach them the ways of the world, use this to understand things and find the way, see through the mundane world, strengthen their heart to seek the way, and find their own way.
…
There are thousands of cities in Dongsheng Shenzhou, but there are not many battles. When they are fought, it is just generals facing off, and small soldiers waving flags and shouting.
Whichever general wins the battle and captures the enemy general, that side will have a complete victory. Otherwise, the defeated general will lead his troops to escape with talismans, and then return to the city and open the city defense formation, and the winner can only shout outside.
Without it, the generals are very strong, but the city population is only that, and the number of soldiers is not enough to kill the enemy generals. If the formation is lost, the soldiers are not as good as not being able to defeat them.
At the same time, the strength is not enough to attack the city. Instead of wasting food, it is better to withdraw earlier.
This situation evolves step by step and tends to balance.
While sorting out the cause and effect, waiting for the person who can unify the world to appear.
…
In Luzhou, Beiju, years of tribal wars have caused a large number of demon servants to flee into the northern ice plain, which is not suitable for human life.
On the large ice sheets, there are more monsters than humans. They make a living by raising cold-resistant cattle and deer herds, and basically do not interact with humans.
Although the human race in the south has a tribal system, they use cities as their stronghold.
This is because they have absorbed the culture of the Great Zhou Dynasty, or in other words, they have been educated by the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty is gone, and even the country established by the descendants of the Great Zhou royal family is gone, the Zhou people are still there.
Sooner or later, Beiju Luzhou will be unified one day, but now it is just accumulating cause and effect.
…
In Xiniu Hezhou, Buddhism is the most popular and the situation is peaceful, but there are many hidden dangers.
The biggest problem is that the land that the family can allocate is limited and the population within the family is constantly increasing.
Fortunately, Buddhism advocates the present life and the next life, so the poor people can still live happily until they grow old and weak after adulthood due to lack of food, and their bodies cannot bear the spiritual energy and die.
The saddest thing is that Buddhism does not memorize much cause and effect.
Because it’s not Buddhism that causes them to be like this, it’s their relatives, it’s the laws of their country. If you have any debts, go to their relatives or their king.
The people of Xiniu Hezhou are constantly circulating in this infinite sea of suffering. In this life, I will cheat you, and in the next life, you will cheat me. We just keep cheating each other, with no end in sight.
…
In Nanfanbuzhou, Emperor Ming worked hard to govern, but the good times were gone.
The biggest problem is that in order to stabilize the political situation, the princes have been granted feudal status.
It was originally to prevent powerful officials from usurping the Sima family's dynasty just like they usurped the Cao family.
Now the big tail can't be lost, so we have to prevent our brothers from taking over the throne.
The opportunity is already fermenting in the backyard.
…
Yamazaki took everyone to sneak into the backyard of the palace to see the problem, but everyone understood it very well.
Yamazaki didn't reveal anything and took them to a mountain outside the city to stay temporarily and let them watch and think about it slowly.
And soon, as rumors spread in the city that Emperor Shu favored the demon clan, everyone suddenly realized what the problem was - the difference between demons and humans.
Yamazaki nodded, but then shook his head, "This is just an excuse. It is to say that Emperor Ming was immoral and to find an excuse to attack him."
"However, this cause and effect has once again opened the curtain that the demon race and the human race cannot coexist."
"And the root cause of this matter can be traced back to ancient times, when people ate beasts to satisfy their hunger, and demons devoured people to survive."
"In ancient times, there were only heaven and earth."
"For the way of heaven, it is natural, and it is normal for whoever eats whom to eat."
"From a purely ethical perspective, it's fair and square. Whoever eats whom will eat it is a matter of course."
"It's just that at the end of the meal, the accumulation of cause and effect reached its peak, detonating the war between heaven and earth."
“After the war, there was humanity.”
"From a human perspective, there is a problem between the demon clan and the human clan,"
"It's just that, due to the power of Empress Nuwa in repairing the sky, all the monsters and humans after the war can be said to be under the command of Empress Nuwa."
"So what appears is just a small cause and effect. Even if it is the Battle of the Gods, it is not deliberately targeting the demon clan."
"The demon clan just has a lot of unlucky people who behave badly. They have dragged down the entire demon clan."
"Of course, this can also be said to be cause and effect, paving the way for the war between the demon race and the human race."
"And now, I guess it's almost begun."
"I'm not good at divination, so I guessed like this just because the monkey at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain is a demon, and Buddhism has made great efforts to control the demon monkey, so naturally it won't be just for him."
"Buddhism claims that all living beings are equal, and ten thousand Buddhas will reincarnate in the lower realms. I'm afraid it's not only for people, but also for the monsters."
"In the dispute between the demon clan and the human race, when humanity prevails, it is natural that the demon clan will suffer a huge defeat."
"Only by investing heavily in Buddhism can Buddhism be preserved."
"With the great prosperity of Buddhism, I'm afraid it will reach a higher level."
"Because if you count them carefully, there are actually many more demons than humans in the Three Realms. It's just that many of them died before they took shape. It doesn't look like there are that many."
"Of course, this is my guess, and even if it comes true, there are still many years and many variables."
"Now, all you have to do is listen."
Everyone was silent, feeling heavy for no reason.
Especially Ling Jintang, Shaoyao, Gu Ling'er, who are monsters, and Ling Haiyang felt something was wrong - Yamazaki didn't finish his words.
…
the other side.
Zhunti Buddha couldn't help but shake his head because of Yamazaki's guess.
It can be said that these words cleared up a lot of fog for him and gave him a clearer understanding of the development of Buddhism and a clearer view of the road to be taken.
Taishang Laojun and Laozi on the Taoist side frowned, because if Yamazaki's guess was followed, there would be nothing left in their Taoist sect.
Dao Wuwei, is it really going to sink to the bottom?
…
Nanjingguan, Miss Gudiao's residence.
Miss Gudiao was very happy to see Yamazaki and her new friends.
Yamazaki straightened his clothes and apologized to her, "I concealed a lot of things before, please forgive me, Lord of the City."
Miss Gu Diao said she didn't take it to heart, "No matter what your name is or what you look like, I care about you as a person, not your name or appearance."
"The city lord is really tolerant." Yamazaki smiled gratefully, and then continued the introduction.
Hearing that Ling Jintang was Yamazaki's wife, Miss Gu Diao curiously pulled her and looked at her again and again, making Ling Jintang very embarrassed.
She has become more human than a demon anymore. How should I put it, she is innocent. After all, people know how to wear clothes.
…
When Yamazaki said that he would disturb her here for a while in the future, Miss Gudiao agreed generously.
Everyone stayed in the house, and Yamazaki continued to guide everyone in their practice.
After resting for a few days, Yamazaki led the team to Buzhou Mountain City.
One is to let Ling Haiyang see Buzhou Mountain, and the other is to go to the Nuwa Empress Temple with Ling Jintang to fulfill his vow.
Back then, Ling Jintang used the red hydrangea he had obtained from the Nuwa Empress Temple to hit Yamazaki, which caused the incident that lasted more than 800 years.
This cause and effect needs to be filled in.
