After a moment, the masked man in black nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "What if I want people to survive the Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations?"
Fan Li looked at the silver coins floating in front of the masked man in black and said: "Ten silver coins can be exchanged for a chance to survive the six or nine heavenly tribulations. At that time, Tianzun will take action to evolve the source of blood and fight with it. All we need to do is fight. If you win, you can become a normal first generation."
"Are these fifty silver coins the entire sacrifice given by Tianzun?"
Did your kid take a kickback from the sacrifice Tianzun gave me?
How many kickbacks did you receive?
Hand it over!
Fan Li nodded and shook his head: "You gave Tianzun a total of nine complete corpses. Eight of them were the first generation who had exhausted their essence and blood, and one was the Da Zhenren who had exhausted their essence and blood. There are indeed many incomplete corpses. , but the value is even lower.”
"Tianzun has rewarded you a total of fifty opportunities for the forty-nine tribulations, which is equivalent to five opportunities for the sixty-nine tribulations. This is worthy of the reward you gave. If you were not the first batch and were remembered by the Tianzun, don't It doesn’t matter if you say fifty times or thirty times.”
"You know, a four-nine catastrophe can create a first generation without the power of heaven and earth. Although such a first generation is inferior to the normal first generation, it is invincible when facing the prime minister."
"Moreover, once you go all out and accept the power of heaven and earth without reservation, before it is completely eroded by the energy of heaven and earth, you will be a perfect first generation. This means that once the critical moment comes, the Song Dynasty can It’s a one-time first generation that fifty people will use desperately.”
"Look at the Chu State. In the battle where Yingdu was defeated, only twelve one-time first generations were created in one go. That was the Chu State, the second largest country in the world, with many treasures and countless demons."
Hearing this, the masked man in black nodded slowly. This is the truth.
Fifty disposable first generations, with such strength ten thousand years ago, who could stop them except Chu and Jin? This is a force that can change the general trend of the world.
Unfortunately, times have changed.
But even if times have changed, no country is willing to face fifty dying first generations at once.
These first generations are disposable and are about to die. They have no scruples in doing things and rush to the country to cause destruction unscrupulously. Even if the entire country has been trained into a special field, it cannot withstand the enemy doing this.
To put it bluntly, Song Dynasty is not worth the price!
The Song Dynasty, which had fifty disposable cannon fodders, was like a hard bone, with only bones and no meat, and the bones were particularly difficult to chew. In the end, even if you gritted your teeth and gnawed the bones hard, you wouldn't gain much.
Thinking about it this way, Tianzun Tianzun is indeed very generous. With these fifty cannon fodder, the Song Kingdom's Guo Zuo can be extended for at least 10,000 years. After 10,000 years, this batch of disposable cannon fodder will be dead, and it is hard to say whether the Song Dynasty can continue.
However, people's suffering is not enough.
The name of the Sixty-nine Heavenly Tribulation is also known to the masked man in black. Even if you fail, you can still gain something. Theoretically speaking, even a piece of trash, as long as it has enough resources, can survive forever. If it fails once, it will be twice, if it fails twice, it will be ten times, and if it fails ten times, it will be a hundred times.
Then even a pig can become a qualified Pig Immortal sooner or later.
But the crux of the problem is also here. Fifty silver coins are, at most, five opportunities for six or nine heavenly tribulations. What if it fails?
Five chances of sixty-nine tribulations can theoretically produce five perfect first generations, but this is just a theory, and in fact there may not be one.
This involves a question of choice: choose fifty disposable cannon fodder, or choose to let people survive the disaster and then gamble on the odds.
After thinking for a long time, the masked man in black said: "Ten times of forty-nine heavenly tribulations, four times of sixty-nine heavenly tribulations, but not now, we need to wait a little longer."
Fan Li pretended to think for a while: "Tianzun agreed. However, Tianzun said that next time we must gather a good manpower to overcome the disaster at once. Moreover, the next time will take a year."
"good!"
After returning, the masked man in black will train these outstanding juniors carefully. They must produce a few seedlings who can survive the six or nine heavenly tribulations!
However, after thinking about it, the masked man in black took out the body of a great master again: "This is also the body of a senior, and it will be dedicated to the senior as a sacrifice."
In a flash of light, the body disappeared.
A moment later, ten silver coins containing the power of creation appeared on the altar. Seeing this scene, the masked man in black knew what was going on and started digging the grave when he returned this time.
Dear ancestors, please forgive the unworthy descendants of future generations.
All this is for the Song Dynasty!
…
Taiping County, Taiping County
In a Taoist temple, Taoist Sun En and Taoist Taiping were sitting opposite each other, and behind them were densely packed Taoist priests.
These Taoists can be said to be very clear-cut.
Most of the Taoists who came after the Taiping Taoists were barbarians and common people. Their experiences made them sincerely recognize the teachings of Taiping Tao and the ideals of Zhi Tian Ping. Most of them became extraordinary thanks to the rewards of Huang Tian's will.
They became Taoist priests and Taoist priests because they were rewarded by Huang Tian's will. Compared to a group of Qi practitioners, these people are more like sacrifices to Huang Tian's will, and their power comes entirely from Huang Tian's will.
They became Taoist priests and Taoist priests because they were rewarded by Huang Tian's will. Compared to a group of Qi practitioners, these people are more like sacrifices to Huang Tian's will, and their power comes entirely from Huang Tian's will.
The Taoists behind Sun En are all self-cultivation, and their power comes from practice, and they are all their own.
At this moment, although the two factions of Taoists cannot be said to be incompatible with each other, they are indeed not on good terms.
"Let me tell you, they didn't have any good intentions when they joined Taipingdao. Now the fox's tail is showing, right?"
"That's right, Yan Guo just invited us, and we eagerly wanted to go there. We don't even think about it, in a place like Yan Guo, can our ideal of bringing peace be realized? Impossible!"
"Yes, Yan State and Lu State are both called the most classical countries. I heard that they still use the Zhou rites now, and they are still the same as they were back then. There is no change at all. The nobles in the country are all diehards. , conservatives. How can there be room for Huang Tian in such a country?"
"Indeed, don't we rely on Huang Tian for the good life we have now? If it weren't for Huang Tian's will that gave us strength, where would we be today? Fifty years ago, I was a slave. If Taipingdao hadn’t bought me, I might have been dead by now.”
"Then why do they still have to go to Yan State? Don't they know that Yan State has no room for our Taiping Dao to intervene?"
"Hehe, you don't understand this. From the beginning to the end, it was not for realizing the ideal of Taiping Dao, nor for Huang Tian's will, but for development, promotion and wealth."
"Most of us used to be at the bottom of the class, and our backgrounds were not high. In addition, Taiping Dao has given us everything, so for us, Taiping Dao is everything, and we really recognize the teachings of Taiping Dao, but They are different from us, really different.”
"For us, the concept of Taipingdao is not a slogan, nor is it some false and empty thing. But for them, the concept of Taipingdao is just a slogan, do you understand?"
"What they want is promotion and wealth, what they want is glory and wealth, and what they want is power. Now that you have gained power, and the glory and wealth are right in front of you, why don't you agree?"
"I heard that Mr. Wang took the people from Li County to Chu State. Now he is in charge of Chu State. It is only a matter of time before he becomes a great real person in the future. Maybe they also want to go to Yan State to carry out reforms in Yan State and become a great real person. .”
"The question is, how can we reform this without changing the teachings of Taiping Dao? Let me ask the simplest question. The nobles in the Yan Kingdom do not abide by Huangtian's teachings and use their privileges to cause destruction everywhere. What can we do? "
Kill the nobles directly?
It's easy to kill a noble, but even Marquis Yan can't kill an entire group of nobles!
But if the doctrine is revised, will the Tao of Taiping still be the Tao of Taiping?
Today's Taiping Dao, as long as you are a believer, you are a believer in Huang Tian's will, so in front of Huang Tian's will, no matter you are a believer or a monk, you are the same.
This doctrine is the source of personal equality.
However, when you talk about personal equality in Yan State, isn’t that nonsense?
Let alone Yan State, today there are not many places in the world where equality of personality is recognized.
Is it because Taiping Taoists don’t want to preach?
It is a missionary road, and it is really surrounded by enemies on all sides, so there is not much progress.
As for this concept, no nobles would agree with it, and no princes would agree with it.
If it hadn't been for the foundation of a county in Yancheng, Taipingdao might have perished long ago.
Without revising the doctrine, this road will not work.
If the doctrine is revised, Taipingdao will no longer be Taipingdao.
After many preaching failures, some Taoists began to reflect: How about adapting our teachings to local conditions? One country, one creed? One doctrine per region?
But the question arises, which teachings can be adapted to local conditions? Which teachings cannot be adapted to local conditions?
If everything could be adapted to local conditions, then it would be better not to call it Taiping Road, but to give it a new name.
If everything cannot be adapted to local conditions, then we may have to stay in Taiping County for the rest of our lives, unable to go anywhere, and never able to continue to grow.
Similar discussions have been held many times.
Today, there is a high probability that it is time to make a decision.
Taiping Taoist himself really couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds on this issue. In the past, he could only procrastinate when faced with this problem. However, sooner or later, there would be times when he couldn't procrastinate anymore, such as today.
"Has it reached this point?" Taiping Taoist asked.
"This is not my opinion alone, it represents the thoughts of many fellow Taoists." Sun En said neither humble nor overbearing.
"Then junior brother, aren't you afraid of death?"
With that said, Taiping Taoist took out the Heavenly Book and his strength increased to the extreme.
