Chapter 193: Interpretation of the Empress and Empress
The heaven is vast and boundless. In addition to the core heaven area, there are also many living beings living in the surroundings. A small number of them are the remnants of the human race in the heaven of the past, and most of them are heavenly beings reincarnated from the heaven in the six realms of reincarnation.
Heavenly beings are the first of the three higher realms among the six realms. They are born with spiritual wisdom. The heavenly realm has sufficient spiritual energy and rich resources, which makes heavenly beings have a long life span. Even if they do not practice cultivation, they can live for more than a thousand years, with no illness or disaster in their lives, and they do not have to work hard.
It is a place that all living creatures yearn for.
Heavenly beings are also one of the sources of heavenly soldiers and generals. They all have good qualifications. If you select the best ones and train them, they will basically have good combat power.
Heaven is the private land of Heaven. All Taoism and Dharma are taught by the gods of Heaven. It is difficult for the saint sect to interfere. At most, the heavenly people can establish a sect after they become immortals. However, they must first report to Heaven, record it in a book, and give approval before they can do so.
Tateyama Gate.
The Duke of the East and the Queen Mother of the West had nothing to do and were visiting the beautiful places in the heaven. Although they could see all the three realms in one thought, they still had a different mood when they went out for a walk occasionally.
The Milky Way that runs through the heavens is dotted on the earth like strips of jade. The stars are reflected in the river, flickering, and the reflection from above and below is extremely magnificent.
"There are still too few people in the heaven. Although their lifespan is long, their reproductive capacity is very low, which is comparable to the extinction of ordinary races."
Along the way, the surrounding fields were empty. The population of Nuo Da's territory was estimated to be only a few hundred million. This was really incomparable with the large ethnic groups that numbered hundreds of billions. In such a vast territory, the population was extremely scattered.
"The heaven is originally a place for gods and immortals, and it naturally focuses on purity. Furthermore, after the establishment of the six paths of reincarnation, there are fewer and fewer souls naturally formed between heaven and earth, and they are basically reincarnations. As the head of the six paths, the heaven has only merit.
Only countless good people can be reincarnated here. Although there are good people among living beings, there are not many who are qualified to be reborn in the heaven."
Duke Dong agreed: "Yes, after the human race became the protagonist of the world, external enemies no longer threatened, and internal corruption began. The wind of simplicity and kindness gradually disappeared, and treachery and evil grew. Fewer and fewer people can be reincarnated here."
"That's why the Sage Sect is required to teach. Although heaven rewards good and punishes evil, God's majesty can intimidate people's hearts and reduce evil, but it cannot change the nature of people's hearts. In this regard, it is the duty of the Sage Sect to educate and guide people.
Being kind is also the foundation of their religion."
Dongwang said fairly: "In this regard, Chanjiao has done a good job, and it has brought about a great change in the people's hearts, which are increasingly in danger."
The Queen Mother of the West said: "So Your Majesty has not allowed the Xuanyuan regime to end because you don't want the good influence brought by Chan's teaching to be affected?"
Dongwang Gongdao: "For this reason, the teachings should obey nature and people, not go against the general trend, accumulate merit and virtue in the torrent of destiny, and when the conditions are ripe, you will naturally attain the Tao, which has a positive significance for the stability of the world."
"Although the teachings of Jiejiao seem to be profound, its essence is that man can conquer nature and create opportunities even if there are no opportunities. It can easily make people extreme and want to change their fate against nature. They don't pay much attention to whether they have opportunities and sufficient virtue."
The Queen Mother of the West is also clear about the teachings of the two religions and agrees: "Both of them teach people to gain the way and change their destiny, but one follows the laws of the way of heaven and focuses on the way of heaven. Naturally, it is known that taking the number of forty-nine from the way of heaven, the other
The latter pays more attention to the way of man and takes the escaped one. Compared with the two, the latter's own path is much narrower."
Dongwanggong sighed: "But Jiejiao pays attention to the way of human beings, and it is in harmony with the spirit of human nature, which gives people unlimited hope, especially the majority of people who lack merit and opportunities, so it has more advantages than Chanjiao in preaching."
"It's a pity that in the way of heaven and man, people are ultimately dependent on heaven and earth and cannot truly be independent. Moreover, the way of interception and teaching only gives people a glimmer of hope, and it is inferior to the explanation of teaching in terms of turning hope into reality.
Therefore, their teachings may flourish for a while, but if they stand the test of time, they will eventually become more harmonious with heaven and man."
Queen Mother of the West said: "So your Majesty actually values the Chan and Jiao religions more? I thought that Your Majesty's delay in changing the destiny was because he wanted to stir up disputes between the two religions!"
"Hahaha..." Duke Dong laughed softly, "Why do I need to provoke the two sects of Interpretation and Interpretation? Such completely different teachings will eventually have to go through a battle to grasp the destiny in the dark. This is Xuanmen
The internal battle of priorities is also a game between heaven and man. It is not only necessary to determine the leader of the Taoist sect, but also a confrontation between the way of harmony between heaven and man and the way of divergence between heaven and man. It is simply unavoidable."
"Who do you think your Majesty is more optimistic about? Master Tongtian has the Four Swords of Immortal Killing in his hand. It will not be easy for Yuanshi Tianzun to defeat him."
Dongwang Gongdao: "Senior Brother Yuqing's Tao of harmony between heaven and man is closer to reality, while Senior Brother Tongtian's Tao is a bit idealistic. The Tao is also a reflection of their acting styles. It is generally difficult for an idealized person to defeat reality.
transformed people.”
The Queen Mother of the West suddenly recalled the discussions they had with the Duke of the East when she came out of the Wu Clan and became a Taoist couple. She said with emotion: "Senior Brother Tongtian's way is to teach without distinction, intercept vitality, and use man to conquer nature.
It seems that everyone is like a dragon as His Majesty said, but this needs to be based on reality, otherwise it will be too idealistic."
Duke Dongwang waved his hand, and a boat appeared in the river. After the two got on the boat, they drifted freely, like an ordinary couple of gods and humans, taking in the scenery and exchanging their thoughts. It was quite comfortable and interesting.
"People who are based on reality are more likely to recognize reality, pay attention to interests, and know how to compromise. Idealistic people are often unruly, emotional and self-centered, and are not easy to tame. It is said that Yuanshi Tianzun is arrogant and noble, but I guess Sanqing
He is the easiest person to surrender to me."
Queen Mother Xi nodded and said: "That's true. Among all the saints, the one closest to Heaven is Yuanshi Tianzun. Although he has the reserve of a saint, he does not hesitate to put down his body at critical times. No wonder His Majesty appreciates him more. On the contrary, Senior Brother Tongtian has been wandering away, and
There is the least amount of communication in heaven.”
Dong Wangong said: "It's nothing. Such people have less eyesight. Generally speaking, they can only accept soft things but not hard things. On the contrary, I am flexible and flexible and can not take hard things. I am not an easy person."
"After all, he is the head of all saints, the senior brother of Xuanmen. He has a different status. Every move is of great importance, and some methods are normal. However, even if your majesty likes the idea of explaining the religion, the human race's political power will eventually change, and it will take nearly two hundred thousand years.
, it’s time for destiny to be transferred.”
Although the Queen Mother of the West also appreciated Chan's teachings, which were in line with their ruling class, she could not allow the Xuanyuan regime to continue just because of this.
As the Queen of Heaven, the person who has the greatest influence on the Emperor of Heaven among the three realms, her ears are almost ringing. She doesn’t know how many people have openly or covertly advised her to state their interests, saying that if Xuanyuan’s regime lasts too long, it will have various negative effects.
, the reasons are endless.
"Why does the destiny need to be transferred? Since I have not determined the final destiny, the destiny of the Xuanyuan regime is not fixed, it means it can change at any time."
The Queen Mother of the West was surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that it was really like this. However, in the past two dynasties, the next regime was only raised when the destiny of heaven ended. This led everyone to think that the Xuanyuan regime was the same. In the end, the destiny was undecided. It was the Emperor of Heaven who wanted to keep the Xuanyuan regime forever.
Continuing, I didn’t expect it to mean this.
"This also shows that His Majesty's authority is being deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Since the power of human change has been obtained, His Majesty's will is God's will. This time people may be able to boldly guess His Majesty's meaning, but without accurate words, they will not dare to take risks."
Prince Dong smiled faintly. He certainly did not do this to test his authority. "I mainly wanted to verify how long the free development of the human race's political power could last without the interference of external forces and destiny. Now it seems that it will take hundreds of thousands of years."
There is still no problem. If we let God determine the destiny, a political power can probably exist for a million years!"
Queen Mother of the West asked: "Does Your Majesty want the next five emperors to survive for millions of years?"
"It depends on the situation. At that time, the most suitable destiny will be deduced based on the divine secrets and prophecies. It will be as many years as possible."
The two were chatting when the boat suddenly entered a large lake. The blue water reflected the starlight, which was dazzling. The mountains and waters were so beautiful that it was a rare sight.
"I have never been to this place before."
Although Duke Dongwang is the Lord of Heaven, there is no place that he does not know, but not all places have been visited personally.
"The Qingling Qi here seems to be particularly strong. Well, there seems to be some special thoughts."
