Chapter Four hundred and forty-five The Tao and Humanity.
Dongyue Hall is very big.
It can accommodate thousands of people.
The temple alone is divided into nine floors, with 500 seats on each floor, so the total number is 4,500.
This is just the main seat, there are also side seats. There are three thousand in the left side seat, and there are also three thousand in the right side seat. The total is ten thousand and five hundred.
If this place is full of guests, then this place can accommodate ten thousand people.
When Li Xiuyuan led the ghosts and gods into the main hall, he discovered that the place was not empty, but that the seats on the right were already full. Without exception, they were all gods from the Immortal Palace. Although they had different appearances and clothes,
But everyone is extraordinary.
As he walked along, he found that on each floor of the nine-story hall, there was a table placed in front of the gods.
The ghosts and gods behind him reminded them that these were the ten marshals under Dongyue Shenjun.
After the death of Yang Biao, the remaining nine marshals can be said to occupy exactly half of the hall. It is unknown whether the nine marshals behind them are the divine generals under their command.
"I have already prepared to wait for me here, but that's right. I have been delayed in the mortal world for several days, dealing with trivial matters. Dongyue Shenjun knows that Yang Biao has been killed and all ten thousand heavenly soldiers and generals have been lost. I believe that we should start to make arrangements.
Everything is waiting for me when the money comes." Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly: "But it's good this way. Only when everyone is together can we speak out without restraint."
When he walked to the last floor of the main hall, there were only ten tables.
Two of the seats are already occupied.
Li Xiuyuan didn't know them, but he had a vague feeling that these two gods were the two he bet with outside Jinling City that day.
He didn't know which god it was.
It doesn't matter if they don't know each other, as long as they establish friends and foes.
"Please also invite the saint to take a seat."
Dongyue Shenjun waved his hand and said.
The scene still needs to be discussed. Li Xiuyuan bowed and sat down unceremoniously. As soon as he sat down, all the thunder gods, ghosts and gods who were accompanying him quickly took their seats.
All of a sudden the table was full of guests.
Thousands of ghosts and gods gathered in one hall, but it was surprisingly quiet.
It's a bit scary to be quiet.
None of the ghosts and gods dared to make a sound. At this moment, it seemed that the air was filled with tension.
"Is this the palace of Emperor Dongyue in the Immortal Palace? I actually followed a human saint here. This is my first time in the Immortal Palace."
"It is said that the gods live in this place. I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to come to this small sacred place in the mountains. Sitting across from me are the gods in the heavenly palace. I don't know what kind of gods there are. If I can see the legendary gods,
Immortal Ge Hong, Lu Zu is the best."
"Is the one who stood at the entrance of the hall to greet the saint just now the Divine Lord Dongyue? He is indeed so majestic that even ghosts and gods worship him."
The ghosts and gods under Li Xiuyuan had different ideas in their minds, and they were curious when they came to the Heavenly Palace for the first time.
At this moment, Dongyue Divine Lord on the main seat slowly said: "I don't know why the saint is here."
"I came here because of Yang Biao's affairs. I heard that Yang Biao was one of the ten marshals under Dongyue Shenjun. He came down to earth to cause trouble, so I wanted to ask Shenjun whether he sent him down to earth or did he go down to earth privately? Shenjun
But you know that because of Yang Biao's rebellion, tens of thousands of people were killed and injured in the world," Li Xiuyuan said.
"Yang Biao was sent down to earth by this god. This god sent him down to earth not to cause killing, but to send you, a saint on earth, back to his throne." Divine Lord Dongyue said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Why?"
Dongyue Shenjun said: "Under your rule, the human world has become more and more chaotic. In the past, the Dragon King of Wujiang caused a flood and drowned countless lives. Later, the King of the Nine Mountains, Li Liangjin, rebelled and caused a military disaster. Now, the military disaster is not over, and the human world
Bandits are rampant and chaos reigns. You must not have forgotten the bet we made back then."
"As a god, can you confuse right and wrong and shirk responsibility?"
Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "The flood caused by the Dragon King of Wujiang was caused by the constraints of the Heavenly Palace. The rebellion of the Jiushan King's soldiers was caused by the instigation of evil spirits and gods. The world is already in chaos, and the Heavenly Palace added fuel to the flames, which led to all kinds of things happening. I want to bring order to the chaos.
It has become mine now, hasn’t it?”
"If Dongyue Shenjun still has this attitude, there is no need to talk more today. Why not just have a battle in the Immortal Palace to see whether the god is a master of Taoism or my immortal-killing sword is sharper."
Dongyue Shenjun said: "Since you want the gods in the heavenly palace to accept your immortal killing calamity, why bother to visit in person? Just break into the immortal palace directly."
"To be clear, why are we fighting? Why are we fighting? I come with hostility, but not with killing. I only kill the gods who deserve to be killed. If they fight indiscriminately, I will fight with others.
What's the difference between evil people?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"The sage's words are very good."
Immediately, many of the ghosts and gods under his command agreed.
Dongyue Shenjun said slowly: "I am a god, and it is the mountain god of Mount Tai who has attained the Tao. Since he is a god, he should follow the divine way. The divine way is supreme, and he should rule over ghosts, gods, mortals, and all living creatures. Is there anything wrong with that? Just like the emperors on earth who rule over all people,
This has been a rule for thousands of years from ancient times to the present. If you want to break this rule, I will have to fulfill the responsibilities of Shinto."
"What the Lord Shen said makes sense. People have human ways, and gods have divine ways. This has been the case since ancient times."
The immortal sects under Dongyue Shenjun all nodded in agreement and agreed.
Li Xiuyuan said: "It is true that emperors in the world rule the people since ancient times. However, emperors have life and death, and dynasties change. Foolish kings will be replaced by wise kings, and corrupt dynasties will be replaced by new dynasties.
Although it seems that the rules are eternal, they are actually changing, and what remains unchanged is the almighty gods."
"Some gods, after being in power for a long time, begin to ignore living beings and play with divine power. They only know how to enjoy incense and worship without doing anything. This is exactly like the fatuous kings and corrupt courts in the world. How can they not be replaced?"
"I dare to ask, does the prince and general Xiang Ning have any kind of knowledge?"
As soon as these words came out, all the ghosts and gods became excited: "The saint said it well."
"This statement is extremely reasonable. Princes, generals, Xiang Ning, etc. are very kind. Are the gods in the sky also naturally noble? Why can't they replace them?"
"The incompetent gods can be replaced, just like the dynasties in the world."
Not only were the ghosts and gods under his command excited, but even the faces of the gods opposite him changed slightly.
This sentence seemed to tear apart their superior status and exposed cruel things that they had not thought about for a long time.
yes.
Who must think that God should always be high and rule over everything?
Isn't it the law of heaven and earth to replace corrupt things with good things? It is the most true truth.
Dongyue Shenjun was silent at this moment.
Only those who are completely unafraid of ghosts and gods can say such words.
"Rotten dead trees standing on the ground should be chopped down and burned. The wood chips and ash left behind will turn into fertilizer to nourish the earth. New shoots will grow back and become lush and towering trees again, attracting hundreds of birds.
A nest, where wild animals eat fruits and pedestrians enjoy the shade, brings blessings to all things. Although the moment a dead tree falls, it will hurt the living creatures next to it, but how can the temporary pain compare to the long-term blessing?"
Li Xiuyuan spoke again, and then looked at Dongyue Divine Lord.
