For example, the volume records a case that caused a sensation back then.
This incident happened in Dayun City more than 20 years ago.
At that time, there was a family living in "Xiejiazhuang" thirty miles west of Dayun City.
The head of the family, whose name is Xie Laowen, is kind-hearted and honest. He has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is married and has established his own business.
Only the youngest son and daughter were born from the same compatriots and lived with Xie Laowen, and they were very fond of them.
This summer, the drought was extremely severe, with no rain falling for nearly three months.
So many people came to the city lord's palace to pray to Daozong for rain.
However, Daodezong refused to use magic rain on the grounds that whether it rains or not is determined by heaven, and nature cannot be artificially destroyed.
No matter how much the people prayed and cried, they were ignored.
People watched their crops dry up and die, and eventually even daily drinking became a problem.
In desperation, he urgently sought medical treatment and planned to follow the ancient tradition of offering sacrifices to the river god to pray for rain.
Xie Laowen was also elected as one of the hosts because of his high prestige.
But this kind of behavior is actually not allowed by Taoism.
But at this moment, almost everyone silently avoided this question.
We quietly contacted each other privately and prepared to worship together to pray for rain on July 19th.
In order to achieve the best sacrificial effect, people prepare to use human animals as sacrifices.
But no one was willing to sacrifice their own children, so someone set their sights on Xie Laowen's children.
Rumors were spread privately that Xie Laowen's children's birthdays were most suitable for He Bo.
Immediately, many people came to discuss the matter with Xie Laowen.
Xie Laowen naturally refused to agree, but once the human heart is evil, it will be more terrifying than ghosts.
For the next seven days, no one wanted to talk to him.
When I go to the market, no one pays attention to me. I can't sell my goods. When I buy something, no one is willing to sell it.
Xie Laowen's family was isolated by all the people around them.
Seeing the family being punished, he went crazy, and Li Zheng suddenly came to visit.
He made this request again and offered a hundred taels of gold in exchange.
Xie Laowen directly drove Li Zheng out, and the gold was discarded like dirt.
But Li Zheng had already planned it, and if one plan failed, another one came up.
Hundreds of people were organized to enter Xie Laowen's home and took advantage of the chaos to coax his three-year-old son and daughter away.
When Xie Laowen and his wife struggled to get out of the entangled crowd, everything was gone.
Xie Laowen asked around like crazy. Everyone looked on with cold eyes, but no one was willing to help.
Xie Laowen and his wife were completely devastated.
What he didn't know was that his eldest son Xie Chun was a loyal supporter of Taoism.
As early as when many people came together, they decided to report this matter to Tao Te Sect secretly.
The area around the city lord's mansion had already been monitored by the people and could not be approached, so Xie Chun walked for five days to Shuiyun Stream.
It took another three days to see the person in charge.
After telling the matter, the person in charge was shocked and reported it directly to the superior.
Daodezong immediately sent a Jindan master to control the flying magic weapon to the sacrifice site.
It is now July 19th.
When the Tao Te Sect master arrived, many people who were preparing to offer sacrifices were immediately frightened.
One after another said that Xie Laowen was responsible for this matter, and said that Xie Laowen even sacrificed his own children to show his sincerity.
This move immediately angered the Daodezong people, but when he came to Xie Laowen's home.
It was then discovered that Xie Laowen and his wife had hanged themselves to death.
When he died, he only left a blood letter accusing everyone of the ruthless persecution.
Now even the Taoist sect's real people were in trouble.
Xie Laowen was obviously wronged and forced to death, but there were thousands of people who forced him to death.
The law does not punish everyone, this is a rule that has been passed down for many years.
But Xie Laowen was indeed one of the organizers who participated in the sacrifice.
However, Xie Chunmi reported that Dezong said that as a human son, it would be unfilial for a son to accuse his father of his fault.
In desperation, I sent a letter asking for advice on how to handle the matter.
Daodezong replied:
Sacrifice is not allowed by heaven, Xie Laowen should be punished if he is guilty! He should also be whipped after his death as a warning to others!
However, Xie Chun reported the matter impartially and had no fault in doing so. Therefore, Xie Chun was ordered to enforce the law on his behalf!
But this decision caused outrage among all the people in Dayun City.
At this time, news of Xie Laowen's unjust death had spread throughout the city, arousing the sympathy of many people.
Now, the son is actually asked to whip his father's corpse.
Is this unacceptable to human ethics?
Xie Chun also didn't expect that his secret report of the sacrifice would end like this.
Although his brother and sister survived unexpectedly, it was because of his rescue.
But after his father died, he could not accept having his body whipped.
So, on the night he got the news, he poisoned the whole family and himself.
When Xie Chun was about to die, he bit off his finger and wrote two words on the wall.
Right! Wrong!
This was the last complaint issued by Xie Chun before his death.
This tragedy caused a sensation in Dayun City, and spread quickly throughout the country.
And this incident also directly triggered an issue that has been deliberately avoided within the Tao Te Sect for a long time.
Which one is correct, ‘Tao’ or ‘De’?
There are two factions within Tao Te Sect that have been secretly at odds with each other.
One sect is the "Tiandao sect", which believes that the laws of heaven operate naturally and should not interfere with the natural changes of heaven and earth.
We regard factors that undermine natural development as cancer, advocate observing the sky and practicing the Tao, and eradicate every case we find.
Yuanrong Zhenjun was a staunch supporter of this faction and had publicly criticized the other faction many times.
This was part of the reason why Zhang Ke was secretly dragged into the void by True Lord Yuan Rong.
The other faction is the Mingde faction, whose views are relatively moderate.
He believes that since he is a human being, he must act from a human standpoint.
The people should focus on educating people with clear virtues and promote the theory that man can conquer nature.
If there is a conflict between heaven and mankind, the interests of mankind should prevail.
But this view runs counter to the ‘Tiandao Sect’.
Both factions have large support groups and often debate this issue.
Only because the core leaders of the two factions exercised restraint and restraint did internal strife and conflict not arise.
But after the "Qiu Yu destroys the family" incident in Dayun City.
It immediately aroused huge controversy within Tao Te Sect.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even some people from the 'Tiandao Sect' believe that the Tao Te Sect's handling of the matter in this matter was contrary to human ethics.
After all, I am a human being, so I have doubts about the core concepts of the 'Tiandao Sect'.
At this time, Zhenjun Xuanming of the Mingde Sect raised a question.
This caused many fellow disciples of the ‘Tiandao Sect’ to switch to the ‘Mingde Sect’.
The question is:
Does it violate the laws of nature to change the world in the azure realm [Dingmai Sanyuan] eight thousand years ago?
This pointed question silenced almost all the fellow members of the ‘Tiandao Sect’.
The two factions were at loggerheads because of this incident, and they saw that things were about to develop into a bad situation.
The top leaders of Taoism made a decisive decision.
In the Dayun City's "Qiu Yu to destroy the family" incident, Yuanrong Zhenjun mishandled it and was banned from going out for a hundred years!
At the same time, he sent his disciples to Dayun City to cast spells and rain to calm down the public anger!
In this incident, the wishes of the people of Dayun City were fulfilled, because the rain came.
Although the people who forced Xie Laowen to die felt a little guilty at first.
But as time goes by, it gradually fades away.
Even Li Zheng only received a few words of reprimand.
After all, life goes on, right?
Everyone got the results they hoped for, and this matter was suppressed with force.
However, two generations of Xie Laowen's family committed suicide, and who will bear the responsibility for the tragic loss of two families.
Things like this have happened countless times over thousands of years.
Therefore, there are some practitioners of the Tao Te Sect "Ming De Sect" out of resentment.
Gather these things into a book and distribute them everywhere to promote the debate on "Tao" and "Virtue".
The most important battlefield is the Dayun City where the incident started.
For this reason, Lord Yuanrong always asked Bian Qia to pay close attention to this matter.
During these decades of confinement, he gradually reflected on his mistakes.
When I heard what Bian Qia said, I immediately understood that the "Mingde Sect" had launched a new round of public opinion offensive.
After pondering again and again, he slowly said: "Ignore them for now, just keep an eye on them secretly!"
Bian Qia said respectfully: "I will obey Master's instructions!"
After a pause, he smiled and said:
"By the way! Today is Master's birthday banquet. I have an object here to offer as a token of my gratitude."
True Lord Yuan Rong stroked his long beard with his hand and said with a smile: "Oh! Take it out and take a look!"
Bian Qia stretched out his hand and took out a four-foot-long rectangular jade box.
Shi Yusheng stepped forward to take it, opened it and took a look, and saw that it was a stone sword-shaped magic weapon.
Turn around and offer the jade box.
Bian Qia explained: "This is a treasure that my disciple found at an auction a few months ago.
This knife is extremely sharp and can easily break any high-grade defensive weapon with just one cut.
The only flaw is that it cannot be refined and controlled outside the body!"
"oh--?"
True Lord Yuan Rong became somewhat interested: "This is quite interesting!"
Zhenjun Yuanhua squinted at the long sword weapon and tried to penetrate it with his spiritual thoughts, but he was unable to penetrate it.
He casually took out a high-grade magic weapon, a shield.
"Senior brother! Try it and see if it's really sharp?"
Magical weapons, magic weapons, spiritual treasures, and innate spiritual treasures all have levels.
If a high-grade magic weapon has the opportunity to combine eighty-one prohibitions into one, it may be upgraded to a magic weapon.
But to True Lord Yuanshen, high-grade magic weapons are of little value.
True Lord Yuan Rong held the long sword in his hand and slashed at the shield at will.
"..."
Silently and without any hindrance, he cut the shield into two pieces.
"Good knife!"
True Lord Yuan Rong was also slightly surprised. The sharpness of this sword exceeded his expectation, and he couldn't help but praise it.
The three True Lords Yuan Hua, Cang Wu, and Huang Ya were also somewhat curious about the sharpness of this sword.
They all took it from the hands of True Lord Yuanrong, and after a little exploration, they were unable to invade it.
It seems that this knife can only be used in the hand, and I suddenly lost interest.
However, if this sword can be cultivated by the body, it may be of some use.
True Lord Yuanrong took the long knife and looked at it carefully, his eyes moving slightly.
It seems that the rust on the surface of this long knife can be driven away.
The magic power poured into his right hand shook slightly, and countless cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the long sword instrument.
The layers of rust were cracked and turned into countless powders.
A bright light flashed before everyone's eyes.
Looking carefully, I saw a pool of autumn water in the hand of Zhenjun Yuanrong.
True Lord Yuanhua was slightly surprised and said: "It turns out that this knife has been covered with rust. No wonder it looks like stone."
True Lord Yuan Rong was also a little happy in his heart.
Unexpectedly, while I was sitting at home, a treasure came from heaven.
Looking at the sharp blade like autumn water, I couldn't help but praise: "What a knife!"
Immediately, he probed a trace of his spiritual thoughts into the long sword. This time, his spiritual thoughts easily invaded it.
A pale white light suddenly appeared on the blade, and a white streak appeared on the edge.
It makes this knife even more unique.
True Lord Yuanrong praised: "What a great sword!"
The moment he spoke, a pair of eyes as clear as water suddenly appeared on the blade.
Immediately afterwards, a flash of sword light was seen in the quiet room.
At this moment, True Lord Yuanrong just spoke out his praise.
The next second...
In full view of the three true monarchs, True Lord Yuanrong's head fell from his neck.
