After Da Tou finished speaking, Changsheng nodded slowly. Da Tou said that it did make sense. If he couldn't get a gold talisman, even if Da Tou and others grabbed the bronze talisman, they wouldn't be able to keep it. Others who got the amulet would definitely try to snatch it.
"My lord, what do you think?" Datou asked again.
Changsheng said, "Just as you said, you participate in the competition for the bronze talisman, and I will try to see if I can win a gold talisman."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, he turned around and looked around. Yang Kai and others knew that Chang Sheng was asking for his opinion, so they nodded one after another to express their agreement.
"Hey, Your Majesty, do you think we should end first or last?" Datou asked again.
"Didn't I just say it," Chang Sheng said, "There is no difference between ending first and ending last. Everything we can think of can certainly be thought of by others. Although many people think they are different, in fact most people have similar ideas. There are nine bronze talismans in total, that is, nine games. You can end the game at any time. Exiting the game early has the advantage of ending early. People who did not get the bronze talisman will think that there are many more to come, and there is no need to end the game and fight you. The disadvantage is that there will be many impatient people who want to get the bronze talisman as soon as possible, and they are likely to rush to the next game to challenge. The advantage of leaving the game later is that all the people who wanted to compete for the bronze talisman in the first few games have left the game, and the next few games may There won’t be many people left, but there is also a drawback, that is, there are fewer and fewer bronze talismans left, and many people who didn’t get the bronze talisman can’t help themselves.”
Chang Sheng paused for a moment before speaking again, "As Yu Yi said just now, the rules for competing for the amulet are very strict. No one can take advantage of the opportunity. In the end, who can get the amulet depends entirely on strength."
"Strength alone is not enough," Datou clicked his tongue and shook his head. "In the end, you have to talk to the immortals about scriptures and Taoism, and you have to get the approval of the immortals. In fact, this rule is not very fair. The Taoist priests will definitely take advantage. People like us in the world How can people talk about scriptures and Taoism?"
Changsheng shook his head and said, "I feel that the so-called discussion of scriptures and Taoism is not like the imperial examination that tests the original texts of the Four Books and Five Classics. The immortals may ask some questions for us to answer in order to test our character and determine the protective talisman. I won’t blame others.”
Yu Yi said, "My lord, what kind of questions do you think the immortal will ask?"
Changsheng shook his head again, "I only know that they won't test your Taoist scriptures. As for what questions they will ask, no one knows."
"We definitely can't guess the specific problems," Yu Yi said, "but we always look ahead in the general direction so that we can be prepared."
Changsheng thought for a while and said, "Immortals are also human beings. As long as they are human beings, they will have their own likes and dislikes, so the questions raised by different immortals may be different. However, the reason why immortals become immortals is because they can We can clearly see Yin and Yang and understand the way of heaven, so the questions they raised are likely to be related to Yin and Yang and the way of heaven, directly or indirectly testing whether we can clearly see right from wrong and distinguish good from evil."
Seeing that Datou and others all frowned, Changsheng explained patiently, "For example, they may say something and then ask us how we should do it, or whether this person is right to do it. At this time, we need to Attention, before answering the question, you must understand all the details and the whole story of the matter. Never make hasty judgments or decisions without knowing the truth. A person who can even distinguish the true from the false Who dares to hand over a spiritual treasure such as a protective talisman to a person who cannot come out?"
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, Yang Kai nodded solemnly, "We remember what you said, what else is there?"
Changsheng said again, "Being aware of everything is only the prerequisite for handling a matter correctly. In addition, you must have the ability to handle it correctly. In fact, we have an advantage in discussing scriptures because we are all imperial officials, and They all have experience in investigating and reviewing cases. Immortals treat mortals just like officials treat common people. They are likely to test whether we can see the truth about a certain matter and handle it fairly and justly."
"Don't let bad people go, and don't wrongly accuse good people." Shi Xuanming said.
"Yes, that's what I mean," Changsheng nodded repeatedly, "If they ask similar questions, they must be careful when answering. Don't let bad people take advantage, and don't let good people suffer, because this is not in line with the laws of heaven."
The four of them were all paying full attention at this time, listening attentively, with unusually solemn expressions.
Changsheng continued, "Also, the Immortal Family all have infinite lifespans. As the saying goes, people become better with age. They have lived for too long and have seen countless people. Never lie when you face them, because they hate all false things. When you talk to them, you must tell the truth and never hide or embellish. In the eyes of immortals, any concealment or embellishment is a lie, and daring to lie to them is undoubtedly a contempt and insult to their minds."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, the four of them all nodded. What Chang Sheng said did make sense. A person may have countless different motives for lying to another person, but there is only one essence, and that is to think that he can deceive the other person, so he should say it in a harsh way. Just think that you are smart and the other person is a fool.
"Your Majesty, what do the immortals think of us?" Yu Yi asked.
Changsheng said, "I am not an immortal, and I don't know what they think, but I feel that deep down in their hearts they look down on us. Think about it, becoming an immortal is extremely difficult and requires decades of perseverance and perseverance. It’s this kind of perseverance and longevity that the world doesn’t have, so it’s normal for them to look down on us.”
Without waiting for everyone to answer, Changsheng said again, "But it is precisely because they look down on us that they will not be familiar with us. If they are very strict with themselves, their requirements for us may only be five or six points. It will be relatively tolerant.”
After the four people nodded, Changsheng continued, "There is little point in making forward guesses at this time. In short, you have to remember that they are choosing neither good people nor bad people, but people who can see clearly and deal with things fairly. If someone is very If you are kind and treat people well everywhere, but if you are indecisive in dealing with things and listen to others' beliefs, they will reject you. However, although someone is violent and cruel, but he has clear grudges and is decisive in killing, he may be selected by them."
"The Supreme Being is ruthless." Yang Kai said in a deep voice.
"Yes, that's what it means," Changsheng nodded and said, "In the eyes of immortals, there is only justice, and nothing else. In fact, being able to be fair is already sentimental. People work hard and harvest food in the autumn. Men and women are in love with each other, and they can grow old together in the end. The bad guys do many evil things and end up dead in the streets. This is the duty of heaven."
Chang Sheng paused for a moment before speaking again, "What does it mean to be sentimental? To be sentimental is to be partial, and to be partial to mice is to be unfair to ugly cows. Therefore, the Supreme Being cannot be sentimental. To be sentimental is to have a stance, and to have a stance will be unfair."
"Your Majesty, I have a question." Shi Xuanming said.
Changsheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put down the teacup, "What?"
Shi Xuanming said, "There is a famine in the Tang Dynasty right now, and people are dying of hunger all over the land. The people of Li are scrimping on food and clothing and working hard. What's wrong with that? Why do they end up in such a miserable situation?"
"Taoist responsibility and Buddhist cause and effect are actually the same thing," Changsheng said. "Whether it is responsibility or cause and effect, they are all interlocked and connected end to end. The miserable situation of the people may be the result of the previous events. , or it may be due to the aftermath. Perhaps it is because the people are in dire straits and starve to death everywhere, so the fairy palace is reopened today. I will not hide the truth from you. Every time the fairy palace was opened before, it was accompanied by a change of dynasties. I very much hope that this will happen. Ji Neng is an exception.”
Hearing Changsheng's words, Datou spoke up and said, "Your Majesty, actually, even if you didn't tell us, we would have guessed that Datang might be unable to recover."
"May I ask you a question?" Changsheng took a glass of water again.
When the four of them looked at him, Changsheng said in a deep voice, "If your loved one is terminally ill, and the treatment may end in losing both life and money, what will you do?"
"Treat it, try every means to cure it." Datou said.
"Aren't you afraid of losing both your life and wealth?" Changsheng asked.
"At worst, I'll beg for food on the street. It's not like I haven't asked for food before." Datou curled his lips and said.
Changsheng looked at Yang Kai again. The reason why he looked at Yang Kai was not because he didn't know Yang Kai's attitude. Yang Kai treated his master Gu Yan and never left him, which ordinary people could not do.
"Treat." Yang Kai said calmly.
Before Changsheng could look at him, Yu Yi expressed his position, "We must treat it at all costs, even if we know it cannot be cured, we must treat it."
"Try your best to heal and never give up." Shi Xuanming said seriously.
Changsheng said in a deep voice, "I can also cure it, even if it means bankrupting my family..."
