Xiao Huan then glanced at the gods in heaven angrily.
The gods awaken from their silence.
Taibai Jinxing stepped forward to please: "Grandma Little Saint, we are not complaining about you, we just say that the Great Saint of Chaos is too cunning to deceive you in this way."
"Why do you say that?" Xiao Huan asked in surprise.
"It's very simple. They have nothing. If they lose, they lose. We have three realms. If we lose, we lose everything. This is totally unfair. It's like someone bets you that you have hundreds of millions of assets, but he is a pauper.
I want to compete with you in a game of baggage, scissors and hammer, and whoever loses will give the other party’s property. Do you know how to play this kind of game?”
"Won't."
Xiao Huan nodded.
She felt that what the old man Taibai said made sense, so she looked at Wen Rensheng for help.
"No, the Three Realms are not yours." Wen Rensheng shook his head.
The gods were shocked.
Only the Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun and others remained calm.
"The Three Realms belong to Heaven, and Heaven is the boss. You are just the bosses." Wen Rensheng said again.
The gods were immediately relieved.
So that's it, they thought Wen Rensheng was going to drive them out of the Heavenly Palace and let them compete fairly with the Saint of Chaos again.
"Now Heaven has given the Saint of Chaos a chance to win, which means that the Lord of the Three Realms has begun to recruit a new shopkeeper. If you don't agree to a peaceful competition, there will only be a river of blood."
The Jade Emperor nodded, and after hearing this, he dropped his hammer and said: "The sage from outside the realm is right. We relied on merit to become the shopkeeper. Now that Heavenly Dao is going to re-elect us, can't we rely on merit to become the shopkeeper again?"
The gods were horrified.
"The Jade Emperor can't do that. We can send out heavenly troops to encircle and suppress him."
"Yes, we still have so many Daluo gods."
"Yes, just kill them."
"This is a fixed number. You must not make mistakes." The Jade Emperor shook his head and said.
As soon as they heard that it was a certain number, the gods immediately stopped.
As a god, I am not afraid of anything else but fate.
If you are told that you will face disaster, you will. The faster you escape, the faster it will come.
Only by facing it calmly can we have a better result.
The gods were silent.
"I wonder which of the four major continents the sage would like to hold a peaceful competition on?" the Jade Emperor asked again.
"For the sake of fairness, the location is yours to choose. Each party chooses two locations as its own home court. It will operate in its own home court for 500 years. Then it will exchange venues and operate in the other party's home court for 500 years. One day in the sky and one day in the earth.
As long as you stay in heaven for a year, it doesn't take much time to determine the winner."
The gods nodded, it sounded fair.
But if you want to win, you have to choose your home court well.
They are people-centered, and they must choose the home field where humans are the advantage.
If the opponent is a demon, you must choose a home court where the demon has the advantage.
This is what the gods thought.
But the Jade Emperor looked at the Queen Mother of the West, the Supreme Lord, the Yuanshi Tianzun, and the Tathagata Buddha who had not come from the west.
The five people's spiritual thoughts converged and a discussion space was formed above the Lingxiao Palace.
"Peace competition, land of four continents, public sentiment index, health and life span, wealth and happiness, public security index, these figures all show that these two foreign sages want to use this to gather people's hearts, but they don't want to work hard on their own, so they think
Use our hands to complete this matter." Lingshan Tathagata said calmly.
He has seen through everything.
"What the Buddha said is absolutely true. When the hearts of the people gather and merge into one, the passage to the world will be wide open. This is a destiny that occurred when the world was created." Taishang Laojun shook his head and sighed.
"There are many things going on in the world, and Daluo Jinxian will not be able to protect himself." Yuanshi Tianzun also shook his head and said.
"Okay, we must win, otherwise, these three realms will be occupied by evil spirits and heretics, and the world will no longer be pure and righteous." The Jade Emperor said.
"What the Great Heavenly Lord said is absolutely true. No matter how good or beautiful the Saint of Chaos' words are, he can deceive others, but he cannot deceive the five of us. He just wants to eat people, and he eats the most delicious people. The essence in his body
It is getting ready to change, and it will never change." Queen Mother Xi said bitterly.
In the past few times, many of the female fairies she was in charge of were eaten alive. The cruelty was so cruel that her Taoist heart was shaken.
You must know that she is the head of the female immortals, and her status is only lower than that of the Jade Emperor.
"Yes, the two great saints from outside the territory don't know its nature, and are deceived by it like other living beings. What it says sounds nice, but once it gets to the Three Realms, the things it does are thousands of times worse.
They always complain that heaven ignores them, complains about gods doing evil, and complains about injustice, but they forget that no matter how bad heaven is, it will uphold justice on the table, will not eat people, and will not destroy heaven and earth. It is always easy to find faults.
, but how easy is it to maintain the operation of the three realms?" Taishang Laojun sighed.
The Jade Emperor nodded: "Everyone, how can we win?"
"The Holy Habit of Chaos will satisfy people's selfishness to obtain incense, just like parents who dote on their children, regardless of their children's long-term future, they only want to satisfy the people. In a short period of time, the people will turn to it." Yuanshi Tianzun said.
"Five hundred years is enough time for the people to see who is righteous and who is evil." Queen Mother Xi snorted.
"Then how do we govern the people?" Yuanshi Tianzun said, "The jurisdiction of heaven is very difficult. The gods have great power, but they inevitably have selfish motives."
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
"Should we learn the methods of the Saint of Chaos, let the people take care of themselves, and accumulate incense to create their own gods? But those often create monsters. After all, how do the people know how to use merit to create real gods?" Queen Mother of the West
road.
Taishang Laojun shook his head and said: "We must truly educate the people. They need food, clothing, housing, transportation, justice. We can provide them one by one, but I think what the two great sages from outside the territory want is not so simple."
Yuanshi Tianzun said: "I think they want to see if the people can take care of themselves. It is easy to just rely on us to force them to satisfy themselves. But if they lose us, can the people make progress all the way up and continue to live a stable life?"
"It's so good. Parents and teachers cannot always accompany their children. What the Heavenly Lord said is absolutely true." Tathagata Buddha nodded.
"In that case, what should we do?" the Queen Mother asked again.
"We should use Dayan Tianshu, deduce it, and find a way for people to self-develop." Yuanshi Tianzun said.
Buddha shook his head and said: "No, doing this will only make the people feel that they are at our mercy, and they will never feel better. Even if they are happy for a while, they will not get any good results in the long run."
"Then according to the Buddha's opinion, what should we do?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked.
"All sentient beings should have bodhicitta and enlightenment..." Buddha said one by one.
The rest of the world was silent.
They understand what the Buddha meant, which is to let all living beings have wisdom, receive education, and then grow on their own.
This is also the highest realm of Buddhism, which emphasizes understanding and seeking oneself.
This is fine, but has one drawback.
This will be very slow.
"Home and away games are exchanged. After we do this, it is equivalent to making wedding clothes for them." Queen Mother Xi suddenly said.
"That's right. The poor monk has calculated that it will take 400 years to civilize all sentient beings, and there are still 100 years to accumulate targets." Tathagata said calmly.
"This is equivalent to the predecessors planting trees for others to enjoy the shade, and we are the predecessors. Civilizing all living beings is too much of a disadvantage." Yuan Shi shook his head.
The saints nodded silently.
so what should I do now?
Based on their understanding of the Saint of Chaos, he will definitely try his best to exaggerate the bad intentions of Heaven and exaggerate his own good intentions in his own territory.
Then it will build the world to its peak, and then when they take over, it will bring the world down from its peak.
This is his conspiracy and calculation.
But it cannot be cracked.
Once they get it, they are destined to fall all the way.
If we continue to use the method of enlightenment, we will add insult to injury and bring disaster upon ourselves.
"If I don't go to hell, whoever does, we just have to be like those who came before us. I believe that the two saints will definitely be able to tell who has a public mind and who has a selfish mind, and who is more suitable to be the master of heaven and earth."
"The winner is not considered a winner, and the loser is not considered a defeat." Buddha said with a smile.
"So that's the case. Buddha's wisdom is profound." Everyone suddenly understood and nodded.
Afterwards, the five people discussed for a while, and finally decided that two people would guard one place, and one of them would serve as a reserve.
They went out to inform Wen Rensheng and said, "We are ready and can begin to govern the people."
Wen Rensheng smiled and said: "Very good, then let the five of you start looking for your home ground."
"Look south to Buzhou and see Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty." said the Jade Emperor.
The first home court appears.
"Xiniuhezhou, at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, is the city of Nalanda." Buddha said.
The second home court appears.
This is the second home stadium chosen by the Buddha. Both places were not chosen randomly. They are both places where they manage the best at this time.
Of course, in Wen Rensheng's eyes, it was just that. It could only be said that he was able to eat and drink enough, and had enough food and clothing.
The so-called prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty means, to put it bluntly, there were more wastelands, a smaller population, and more farmers.
Coupled with the maturity of some steel technologies, this can only be achieved if there is sufficient farmland.
When there is no more land to cultivate, there will be unrest.
Wen Rensheng shook his head. Could it be that the Jade Emperor, Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, and Lingshan Buddha couldn't see it?
Couldn't they deduce it?
They could have deduced it, but the law of heaven did not allow them to postpone it. The law of heaven had always maintained that the entire world of Journey to the West was in the medieval era and was unwilling to let the world evolve. So five hundred years later, the world was still the same.
At the same time, Wen Rensheng passed the news to the Saint of Chaos.
The other party also chose two locations. The first location was the largest peach blossom land, located in the worst Hokurisu Island.
The second location is on an empty island above Dongsheng Shenzhou.
In the Cave of Chaos.
After hearing the other party's choice, at this moment, the Saint of Chaos laughed:
"Hahaha, Tathagata, Jade Emperor, you are nothing more than this."
He saw the other party's plan at a glance, which was just to enlighten all sentient beings with wisdom and then highlight their selflessness.
How despicable.
Do they think that all sentient beings must be educated by them?
Taoist Toad said in confusion: "Your Majesty, after all, the other party has many gods and immortals, and its manpower is ten thousand times that of ours. If they focus on governance, their various indicators will definitely be much better than ours, and human beings themselves are particularly respectful."
The Saint of Chaos smiled and said: "It is precisely because of this that you are wrong, and it is precisely because of this that they failed."
"They will fail?" Taoist Toad asked in confusion, "Why?"
He couldn't even figure out why the other party failed?
In fact, this kind of peaceful competition is not their strong point, because their real advantage lies in combat.
The demon's advantage is fighting.
And gods are not good at fighting.
What gods are good at is governance.
What demons are good at is destruction.
From the difference between these two words, we can know the advantages of both sides.
This time it was for the opportunity given by God that they agreed to compete peacefully.
Those heavenly gods still don’t know how much advantage they have taken.
The Saint of Chaos smiled and said: "Tathagata Jade Emperor, they always think that they can be above all living beings, and they always think that their wisdom is higher than all living beings. They never thought that it is this kind of subconscious thinking that will cause them to fail.
."
Taoist Toad did not understand, but the Saint of Chaos did not continue to explain. He just raised one hand with one hand and dropped the two books in two places.
The island in the East China Sea, the land of peach blossoms, got two books at the same time.
From then on, the Saint of Chaos ignored them and allowed the Peach Blossom Land and the East China Sea Island to develop on their own.
100 years have passed, and 200 years have passed.
The islands in the East China Sea and the Peach Blossom Land were connected to each other, channels emerged, trade flourished, shipping developed, and the industrial revolution actually appeared.
The emergence of the Industrial Revolution was accidental, not inevitable.
It requires the right time, right place, and right people. It does not mean that it can be developed just by giving you 10,000 years.
Anyone who thinks that is a fool.
The Toad Taoists knew that when the industrial revolution appeared, they would be victorious.
Sure enough, the development of the Industrial Revolution greatly enriched their products, and they could produce as much in one year as they had in the past 100 years.
These are things they couldn't have before.
500 years later, the island in the East China Sea and the land of peach blossoms has become a huge modern city.
Wen Rensheng, after reading it, nodded and went to see Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty and the foot of Lingshan Mountain.
He smiled and looked at both places.
He is still a filial son and virtuous grandson, a wise emperor, and wise ministers, governing the people, prospering, and living in peace and contentment.
He went down and asked those people, how are your lives?
They all said that the emperor was too wise and we lived a good life.
Wen Rensheng smiled.
It is self-evident who wins and who loses.
Then the two places are exchanged.
After the exchange, Buddha and the Jade Emperor were shocked when they saw this scene.
"Why are they allowed to evolve on their own? Why do they have such a great impact?" Queen Mother asked in confusion.
Taishang Laojun sighed: "Doing nothing is better than doing something, and having no words is better than having words. That's all."
The Queen Mother asked in confusion: "Are the immortals inferior to the common people themselves?"
Taishang Laojun said: "This is a restriction of heaven and is not a crime of war."
"The other party was an enemy of the Lord of Heaven from the beginning, so he was able to break away from the control of Heaven and see through the future."
Wen Rensheng nodded, it was Taishang Laojun after all.
Daozu has seen the key to victory or defeat.
That is the way of heaven to succeed, and the way of heaven to fail.
