Just by telling him the name of Jinglun Tiangong, Ji Xiang really didn't understand the other party's identity for a moment.
Do you think you have such a great reputation that everyone wants to know you?
However, New Heavenly Master Dao is quite famous. After all, today's Heavenly Master Dao was reorganized after the original Northern and Southern Heavenly Master Dao merged into one. New Heavenly Master Dao is Northern Heavenly Master Dao, which emerged in the Northern Wei Dynasty and merged. Before the Sui Dynasty, the name of Beitian Master was...
"Kou Qianzhi!"
When the man heard Ji Xiang announce the name of his great heavenly master, he nodded and smiled: "That's right! The master of Jinglun Heavenly Palace is none other than Master Kou Tianshi!"
"We all call him the 'Great Celestial Master of Taiping Xuandu in the North'!"
This was a well-known immortal Taoist figure in the Taoist sect. Ji Xiang was really surprised.
One important point is that part of the Taoist Rules of Heaven that we hold today were written by this Great Northern Heavenly Master!
Moreover, this Northern Great Heavenly Master... was of the same lineage as Zhang Daoling, and was a mortal enemy. The reason was related to the chaotic state within the Taoist sect at that time.
This is an extremely distant past.
"The Northern Great Heavenly Master is also a legendary figure in the Taoist sect. How could he become the force behind the Wenxiang Sect?"
Ji Xiang asked: "Are you going to fight me here? It seems that today, I will kill an innate figure."
After letting out the harsh words, Ji Xiang thought in his mind. If he wanted to kill the innate master, he must open the gate of heaven and capture him. Otherwise, he would have no chance of winning in the outside world. As for what kind of situation he could achieve... he had never fought before, so what? I know, I don’t have a bottom line in my heart.
Looking at this person, this person has not shown any hostility, nor is he possessed by a Yin spirit, so the inner scene divine card has no reaction for the time being.
"Master Beiji's words are wrong. I will not be your enemy unless necessary."
"I came here just to invite you into my door. Jinglun Temple is kind to you. Speaking of which, you attained Taoism in the late Han Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with the three methods. That Zhang Tianshi and you are just... We have some friendship, but you can’t even talk about helping him guard the country, right?”
"The people you were familiar with in the past may have been cultivating in the mountains and rivers inside, and have ascended to enlightenment and become immortals. You are still trapped in the mountains and rivers outside. More than a thousand years have passed, and you have gained nothing. It is not easy to survive. Still a half-broken body.”
"Do you really want to stay like this? Moreover, it is difficult to ascend from mountains and rivers. That Heavenly Master Zhang had the help of all the Heavenly Masters from Longhu Mountain, and then he broke into the realm of ascension. As for you, you have neither a sect nor friends, although you still have no sect or friends. If you have the skills to ascend, but your physical body cannot ascend, you will never be able to return to your peak, let alone go one step further."
"So, the Great Heavenly Master is opening up a way forward for you, but if you continue to stay in the mountains and rivers of Biao, you will only end up on a dead end. You will not be able to ascend, and you will end up in loess. If you work for the emperor, it is inevitable that all the birds will be lost and the good bow will be lost. Hide, the cunning rabbit will die, and the lackey will be cooked!"
"Don't you see Liu Bowen, what happened to Yao Guangxiao!"
The innate master persuaded Ji Xiang to surrender, but Ji Xiang just asked: "What do you say about the Wenxiang Sect?"
"Wenxiang Sect? As long as you can enter our Jinglun Heavenly Palace, you can deal with these Wenxiang Sect guys on your own. Even if they all lose their souls and their bodies and spirits are destroyed, that is your business and we will not interfere. "
"You are much more important than these Wenxiang Cults. What we seek in Biaoshanhe is nothing more than the supreme avenue. Using the Wenxiang Cult is just some preparation before completing what we seek. , the beliefs of mortals are gathered into wishes, and the wonderful effect of the wishes of all people can only be collected with the help of these White Lotus Sect and Wenxiang Sect."
"But if you come to Jinglun Temple, the new Celestial Master's Tao will be resurrected in the mountains and rivers of the world. How can you be the leader of Sanzhang's pseudo-sect in an upright way? It is exactly the right thing to bring order to the chaos, sweep away the Sanzhang's pseudo-sect, and restore the integrity of our Taoism. .”
Ji Xiang couldn't help but laugh: "The Wenxiang Sect is making money and killing people everywhere... I don't know about other evil things, but based on everything that happened in the county tonight, look at the flames outside, Is this considered righteous?"
"The heavens are full of energy and our Taoist sun is prosperous. When will the Taoist sect rely on evil cults such as the White Lotus Sect and the Wenxiang Sect as its subordinates or pawns?"
The innate master said calmly:
"Because no one cares about Fa-rectification, Fa-rectification will not make you live a better life. Fa-rectification will not tell you the way to make money, but will ask you to work hard to do good deeds and accumulate merit. But how many people in this world do good deeds out of morality and justice? Rather than for profit?"
"Ask those scholars, even if they have read a lot of poetry and books, how many of them have the righteousness of heaven and earth in them? None of the ministers in the Ming Dynasty have the righteousness of heaven and earth. Let me tell you, the Wanli court , not as good as the Jiajing court, at least at that time, there was a real Confucian sage."
"The White Lotus Sect can make people live a better life. If you believe in me first, I will rob those who don't believe in it and use their money to seduce you. They will draw huge round cakes for believers, and then use their evil These people really think they can become princes and generals, have beautiful wives and concubines, and have a lot of money..."
"So, a larger number of wishes gathered like this. Don't you think that we righteous people are actually just like the Persian clowns in the Tang Dynasty, making people laugh?"
After Ji Xiang pondered for a moment, he responded: "Don't despise the righteous Dharma just because you practice evil dharma quickly. The art of doing good to others is the righteous dharma, and the act of instigating people to do evil is the evil dharma."
The innate master laughed a few times: "Let me put it bluntly, Taiping Dao caused chaos in the world at the end of the Han Dynasty. Isn't it an evil law? As for being entrusted by the gods and establishing one's own leader, our great heavenly master also did this, Zhang Daoling They have done this before. In fact, they did this when they first started. Is there any difference between them and those outside from the Wenxiang Sect and the White Lotus Sect?"
"We claim to be Laojun who teaches the scriptures, or Master Xuandu. They claim to be the coming of Maitreya and the birth of the Innocent Mother. There seems to be no difference? It's nothing more than the old method and the new one. There is a conflict between Dharma and Dharma. Our teaching inheritance comes from the ancient Taoism in the mountains and rivers, and their teachings are mixed and mixed, but don’t you think they are compatible with Buddhism and Taoism?”
"Incorporate the techniques of hundreds of sects, absorb their strengths and remove their dross. Gradually, you will see in another two or three hundred years, they may also become righteous methods."
"In the mountains and rivers, there is no distinction between good and evil as you call it. They are all magic developed for the pursuit of the great road. The magic is inferior, and the great road is superior. We stick to the theory of good and evil. How many heavenly palaces are there in the mountains and rivers? If you want to be dragged down by the theory of good and evil, if you want to be punished by heaven, even the Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty deserves to die."
"And hundreds of years ago, there were already masters from the White Lotus Sect who joined our path and promoted our righteous method!"
This innate master's logic was perfect. Even Ji Xiang had to admit that what he said did make some sense.
In fact, many Dharma sects do have a disgraceful past.
"So, why should we talk about the difference between good and evil all the time? This is exactly what future generations should do to repent of the disgraceful actions of their predecessors. They must always be wary of themselves, dare not forget the disasters caused in the past, and must pay attention to the future. He devotes his energy to doing good deeds from generation to generation, so those who become immortals need to perform one thousand three hundred good deeds."
"Even if it's you, go and ask your ancestors, did they perform 1,300 good deeds before they attained enlightenment and ascended?"
"But people, doctrines, and behaviors will continue to change over time. I admit this. Not only are these cults examples, you are also a good example."
"Those who practiced the righteous Dharma in the past no longer have the concept of good and evil today. Perhaps this is also a path of practice, from the clarity of yin and yang, to the unity of chaos, and finally to the infinite. Perhaps this is closer to the original Tao."
Ji Xiang told, explained, and told this innate master:
"Only when Zhang Lu surrenders to Cao Cao will the Celestial Master's Tao flourish. Otherwise, there will be no way for Beikou and Nanlu to improve the Taoist tradition. No matter how right you are now, even if what you say is really right."
"But killing is killing, and bewitching people is bewitching. Right and wrong are sometimes very simple and clear. I don't know if there are good people in the White Lotus Sect, but I know that all I see are evil people. "
"You have become grander, and you have protected all living beings. In the mountains and rivers, the passage of time is much faster than the mountains and rivers outside. Perhaps hundreds of years and thousands of years have flattened your spirit, dispelled your concepts of good and evil, and made you forget the past. The way I used to be."
These words entered the depths of the innate master's mind and aroused some of his empathy.
His eyes were a little blurred, as if he was recalling his past appearance.
He gradually looked shocked.
I can’t remember why I first learned Taoism. I can’t remember it. Thousands of years of intrigue, competing for magic power, fighting each other, respecting strength. There is no difference between good and evil, no good and evil. It just depends on oneself. Is it beneficial?
But it seems that was not the case at first.
When I was learning Taoism, the fragrance of three sticks curled up to reach heaven. At that time, my clear voice, what words did I say, what vows did I make?
Heaven has no relatives and always associates with good people.
