The sun sets in the west, outside Jinling City, in front of Sanli Pavilion.
There are birds gathering here, snakes and rabbits standing there, farmers, vendors, old women and other people of all kinds gathering here.
Originally, these people were very ordinary beings, ignorant of writing and poetry. But if a caring person comes here now and listens carefully, he will find that the words spoken by these farmers, vendors, and old women contain very profound meanings.
The great truths, and the witty words, and the majestic momentum are not like the tone that ordinary people can have, but more like the magnanimity of a prince or a duke.
Occasionally, a few pedestrians passing by felt strange when they saw this scene, and left quickly with the attitude of doing more and less.
The people who are still standing in front of the pavilion today are not idle.
But it's hard to imagine.
The scene that happened today was that gods from heaven descended to earth one after another to discuss immortal matters with saints on earth.
Although it looks extremely simple, it is a grand scene rarely seen in ancient and modern times.
"A plague is not worth attracting so many gods in the Heavenly Palace to come down to earth. Are the gods looking for me to discuss other matters?" Li Xiuyuan glanced at the crowd, his soul hidden in his body, and he temporarily put away his radical ideas.
All the traders and footmen were silent for a moment.
Then the farmer who first appeared before said: "Your way of killing immortals is too dangerous and will affect the balance of the three realms. Some time ago, you killed the Dragon King of Wujiang, and also killed a city god. Today, you stopped the God of Plague from spreading the plague."
, your existence is already interfering with the operation of the Heavenly Palace, and today I just want to discuss the matter of the God of Plague with you, the saint on earth."
"So I came here to kill the immortal. I wonder what the gods mean?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"Your way of killing immortals should be sealed." The vendor next to him said sternly: "You are a saint in the world, and you are destined to become a god and a saint in the future. You should not continue on this way."
"There are demons in the world, ghosts in the world,...evil gods in the sky, and injustices in hell. Can you become a saint if you don't practice this way?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"The monsters in the world have their own thunder gods to kill them. The ghosts in the world should be controlled by the city gods in various places. The gods in the sky who do not abide by the rules of the sky have their own gods and kings to punish them. The injustice in hell is caused by the turmoil in the mortal world. This is the human world.
The world is in turmoil and the government is corrupt. What does it have to do with ghosts and gods?" said the vendor.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "If all the evil demons in the world are killed, all the ghosts in the world are restrained, and all the gods in the sky who do not abide by the laws of heaven are punished in time, then my method of killing immortals will be useless, and the gods will be
What is there to worry about? The reason why you are worried is because you are afraid that one day you will make a mistake and be controlled by my way of killing immortals, so you want to block my way."
The hawker fell silent immediately, and the farmer could not refute.
Only the bird on the pavilion next to it opened its eyes wide and started chirping, seeming a little embarrassed.
"The words of the saints in the world are shocking and enlightening, and they are reasonable."
At this time, a sudden voice sounded, and on the avenue not far away, a man in black clothes and black hair, with a sword hanging from his waist, strode over. He nodded in agreement as he walked, feeling that Li Xiuyuan's words made sense.
True Martial God Lord?
The birds, beasts, vendors, and farmers nearby all looked at him.
"Don't look at me like this. The words of the saint in this world do make sense. I am helping you with your affairs, not your marriage."
Lord Zhenwu smiled and said: "When ordinary people commit crimes, they are restricted by the laws of the court; when officials commit crimes, they are governed by higher-level officials; when ghosts and ghosts commit evil acts, there are monks who kill evil and eliminate evil; and there are those in heaven who
Thunder God, the city gods on the earth will be killed and captured, but what should the gods do if they make mistakes?"
"If the gods are unknown, they should be held accountable. They should not always be aloof and manage the three realms."
"Master Zhenwu Shen, what do you mean by this?" the vendor said solemnly.
Lord Zhenwu smiled and said: "Actually, I also feel that this world is a bit chaotic. The human world is in chaos, the underworld is in chaos, and the heaven is also in chaos. I believe that the fundamental reason for this is the imbalance of the three realms. The birth of saints in the human world at this time is the will of God.
, there are some things that we should wait and see instead of stopping. The God of Plague has been spreading plague for thousands of years, and it may not be able to change. The Dragon King of Wujiang can adjust the climate of the four seasons, but it can also cause floods and flood a place. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
?”
"If you don't know God, why should you be a God? I'm just going to join in the fun today. If you think I'm talking too much, I'll just leave."
Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly and looked at Lord Zhenwu. This Lord Zhenwu seemed to be helping him.
"Since Lord Zhenwu Shen thinks that the words of the human saint are reasonable, you might as well give it a try," the vendor said.
"How to try?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
The hawker said, "From today on, the gods will not interfere in this land. It is up to you to govern it. See if you can create a peaceful world or a turbulent world. If you can manage it better than the gods, we will cooperate with you."
To change the way of this world, if the more you govern, the more chaotic it becomes, then your method of killing immortals should be sealed and not used, so as not to destroy the balance of the three realms, how about that?"
Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly: "Okay, let's try the boundary of Yangzhou. How long is the deadline?"
"No limit, but within a year, the Heavenly Palace will gradually remove the gods who serve in this land, including the city god, the door god, the day traveler god, the night traveler god, the water god, the river god, the land god, the mountain god..."
said the hawker.
"In other words, after one year, there will be no gods in Yangzhou, only monsters and monsters." said the farmer next to him.
Li Xiuyuan's expression changed, feeling that this matter was not simple.
It doesn't seem to be what it seems on the surface, there seems to be some trap waiting for you.
But when things got to this point, he couldn't back down.
"If I win, will you really cooperate with me to change this world?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"Of course, if you have a better way, we will naturally follow it. How can we be like rotten Confucians and be stubborn and ineffective," said the hawker.
"Okay, then it's settled." Li Xiuyuan said.
This is a big gamble, and the bet is on the world.
Whether the chaos will continue like this or whether there will be a good change in the future depends on how Li Xiuyuan governs this state.
"Sage on earth, I hope you won't disappoint us. There are countless pairs of eyes in the sky looking at you. Your way does not allow failure." The vendor said this and turned around to leave.
The birds above the pavilion also fluttered their wings and left at this time, and a few faint wisps of green smoke flew out from nearby.
Snakes, rabbits and other animals on the roadside also swung back into the grass.
Everything around him soon returned to calm.
Zhenwu Shenjun also smiled and walked over and said: "Now you see, the Heavenly Palace is in chaos. Not all the gods are sensible. The era when they became gods is so long ago that the gods of each era are different from each other.
If the gods have different ideas, the Heavenly Palace will naturally become chaotic over time. It is extremely difficult for you to govern a state today, and you may not be able to pacify it even with your own strength in your lifetime."
"They want to trap me here?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved and he immediately realized this.
Zhenwu Shenjun stopped talking, just smiled, and then his body turned into a stream of incense and spread out.
This is not the true body of Lord Zhenwu, but just a clone of incense.
This is a common method used by gods and is not surprising.
When Li Xiuyuan saw these gods leaving, he couldn't help but stand with his hands behind his hands and look at the setting sun.
He didn't know whether it was good or bad to agree to the request of these gods today. He only knew that if he continued like this, he would not be able to change the world.
One person is poor.
There are so many demons and ghosts in the world, and gods are also involved, making the world full of chaos.
Now that the Heavenly Palace is willing to transfer the gods from this state, it may not be an opportunity for him.
If Li Xiuyuan could not govern even one state, then he would not be able to govern the turbulent world.
"My ambition is not to serve the people, and it is extremely difficult. The mountains and rivers are crying everywhere." Li Xiuyuan murmured.
