Li Xiuyuan and Dongyue Shenjun were debating in the Dongyue Hall in the Heavenly Palace.
What Li Xiuyuan upholds is humanity. What he insists on is the order of reincarnation and the payment of good and evil. This cannot be avoided just because he is a ghost or god. The reason why his humanity has many ghosts and gods following him is because his philosophy is the concept of fairness and justice.
.
People who do evil must be punished, and ghosts and gods who do evil must also be punished.
Therefore, good people and ghosts and gods naturally hope that the world will become like this. Otherwise, good people will be oppressed by evil people, and ghosts and gods who uphold righteous thoughts will be oppressed by evil gods with profound principles. This is what they do not want to see.
But Dongyue Shenjun is the opposite.
He is the Taoist god of Mount Tai and has been a god for a long time. He upholds the Shinto. He believes that all things should be ruled, just like mortals are ruled by emperors, and all living creatures should also be ruled by gods.
Using the divine way to control all the ways remains the same from ancient times.
The concept of Shinto is also supported by many gods, because they have become gods for a long time. Naturally, they hope to be high up, enjoy the incense and offerings of mortals, be free and at ease forever, and live forever. How can they be willing to give up Shinto and support humanity?
Therefore, this is not a simple battle, but a collision between Shinto and humanity.
Although Taishan God and Li Xiuyuan were enemies of each other, they could sit together calmly at this moment, arguing with each other within a few feet of each other.
Maybe some ghosts and gods think this is unnecessary. Since we are already enemies, we should fight each other and the winner will win.
Actually this is wrong cooking.
How can the battle between Shinto and humanity be so casual? The first thing to do is to spread your own ideas.
Li Xiuyuan used this opportunity to spread his humanitarian ideas, and Taishan God was also spreading his Shinto ideas.
Once the idea spreads, all the ghosts and gods in the world will have their own choices.
When the time comes, the winner will be able to truly implement his or her ideas. Otherwise, even if we fight to win now, because our ideas cannot be spread, there will still be many ghosts and gods supporting Shinto or humanity.
Such a battle would be meaningless.
If you kill Li Xiuyuan, a saint will be born in the future. As long as people do not die, saints will always appear. God cannot kill all people.
In the same way, if a god from Mount Tai is killed, there will still be countless ghosts and gods in the world. Ghosts and gods will continue to exist, and gods who uphold the Shinto will still appear.
Only when the idea spreads smoothly and wins can it be ensured that it will remain the same for all eternity.
Just like the hundreds of schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period, they all had different ideas, but only Confucian ideas spread and spread throughout the ages.
"This is indeed the exquisite heart with seven orifices. Your mind is smarter than ghosts and gods. I can neither win nor lose in an argument with you."
After a long time, Dongyue Divine Lord suddenly spoke slowly, with a hint of sigh in his tone.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm smart, but that I uphold the right path and the ideals that are in line with heaven and earth. So I'm not afraid of debate."
Dongyue Divine Lord spoke again: "This is also the reason why I have hidden myself in the Immortal Palace and avoided seeing you, a human saint, for the past twenty years. Once a person sees God and confronts him, his heart towards God will
That kind of awe will disappear, and you will start to think about God, figure out God’s thoughts, and thereby understand God. When a mortal understands God, the mortal will feel that the so-called God is nothing more than this.”
"Let me tell you a story. Do you have the patience to listen?"
Li Xiuyuan said: "The story of Shenjun is unique, I would like to hear the details."
He had always told stories to others, but this was the first time someone else had told him a story.
Dongyue Divine Lord slowly said: "There were two mortals in the past. One mortal was reviled because of his bad merit. A god couldn't bear it and decided to drop a divine thunder to kill the mortal. So this mortal was struck by thunder one night.
After he was killed, the people in the nearby villages all clapped their hands and cheered, thinking that this was a manifestation from God, and thanked God in their hearts for killing this mortal.
"This is what is called God's will."
"However, the second mortal also committed the same thing as the first mortal. The other god couldn't stand it anymore and decided to appear and kill the mortal. Unfortunately, he was seen by other people, so the people nearby began to accuse him.
Seeing the cruelty and unkindness of this god, I finally thought that this god was an evil spirit, so I destroyed this god's temple and destroyed this god's statue."
"This is what is called public opinion."
"The same thing, the same process, the same result, but the two gods got different endings because of their different methods. In fact, God's will and public opinion are just God's will. The human way you uphold is nothing more than a way to cover up shame.
It’s just a way of saying it. If your philosophy is correct, then if you lift the veil, its essence is still Shinto.”
After the Lord Dongyue finished speaking, he looked at Li Xiuyuan: "Sage, do you think this god's words are reasonable?"
"The Lord God said it well."
As soon as he said this, the gods under his command suddenly understood and became happy, feeling that Shinto was the inconvenient way and the foundation of everything.
Even the ghosts and gods under Li Xiuyuan began to think about the words of Lord Dongyue with a hint of contemplation.
However, Li Xiuyuan shouted in a deep voice at this moment: "It's ridiculous. Although there is some truth, it is just a fallacy. There is no truth in your story, only fooling and deception. The people don't know that God kills people, so God lies about God's will and borrows the power of God's will."
Convincing the people of your name is a way to fool the people. It is just like a treacherous minister in the mortal world who plots against loyalty. He fabricates accusations to deceive the emperor and allows the emperor to order the execution. The people do not know and think that the person to be executed is really a traitor and traitor. This is simply not true.
I didn’t know that the person who was killed was actually a loyal man.”
"If that person is the person who was killed instead, I have nothing to say. Death by God's will, death by God's will, death by public opinion are all the same. However, after God has been doing justice for God for a long time, he will inevitably use power for personal gain. There is not much else to say.
Let me ask you, am I the one who deserves to die?"
Dongyue Shenjun said: "The saint has profound merits and good deeds. All his ancestors have been good people for five generations. He is not a person who deserves to die."
"If I don't deserve to die, why would a god come to kill me?"
As soon as these words came out, Dongyue Shenjun shut up and all the gods in the temple also fell silent, and their hearts began to waver again.
Li Xiuyuan continued: "Killing me is the most obvious example of gods using their power for personal gain, under the guise of God's will. How dare you replace God's will and do justice for God when you know that it is unfair and does not distinguish between good and evil. The gods think they are deceived and the ignorant people can also be deceived.
Have you killed all the creatures in the world? Your divine way is not based on correct ideas, but on the way you rely on, the ten marshals under your command, and countless heavenly soldiers and generals."
"So your Shinto is not the correct Shinto, but overbearing."
"There was a dynasty more than a thousand years ago in the mortal world, called the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shihuang unified the seven kingdoms and made great achievements in ancient and modern times. Why did the second generation perish? It was simply that the force he relied on was not used to govern the people, but was used to maintain the imperial power. Therefore,
The harsh rule of the Qin Dynasty was fierce and fierce. Although it was powerful for a while, it could not last long. When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raised their arms and shouted, the Qin Dynasty was instantly destroyed. Even the powerful army that unified the seven kingdoms was unable to save it."
"This is the consequence of being overbearing. If God wants to be Qin Shihuang, I don't mind being Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. I wonder if God thinks what I say is reasonable?"
After speaking, Li Xiuyuan looked at Dongyue Divine Lord with burning eyes.
The Lord Shen's previous words had a great impact, but Li Xiuyuan's words had an even greater impact.
As his words fell, the ghosts and gods in the hall were extremely shaken.
The ghosts and gods who were scholars and scholars who had attained enlightenment were so excited that they stood up and raised their hands to Li Xiuyuan and said: "The ancients once said that if you hear the Dao in the morning, you will die in the evening. Today, when the little god heard the saint talking about the Dao, all the doubts in his heart were gone, and he became even more convinced of the divine king.
Shinto is just to maintain his superior rule, it is not fair and just Shinto, Xiaosheng will never be deceived by his words again."
"Today we know the evil intentions of some gods. They use the name of heaven to do tyrannical things. Throughout the ages, countless innocent creatures have died in the hands of these unfair gods. If such gods continue to rule
If this continues, the world in the future will only become darker and darker, and it will never get better."
"That's right, even if the divine monarch is profound, no matter how many heavenly soldiers and generals there are, we are still willing to follow the saints on earth and die a hundred times without regrets."
"Yes, I will die a hundred times without regrets."
Tens of thousands of ghosts and gods drank together, and the sound shook the nine heavens. The righteous thoughts in their hearts were aroused, and even the ghosts and gods emitted a blue-white light.
This green and white light gathered together and enveloped the entire hall, then rushed out of the hall and dispersed towards the Heavenly Palace.
The light is so bright that it is like a bright lamp lighting up the palace of heaven.
Countless fairies, heavenly soldiers, heavenly generals, and all kinds of immortals and demons in the fairy palace all saw this light.
This light is the light of upright belief. Ordinary ghosts with this kind of light are ghosts, and Yin soldiers will not bully them, because such a person is respected and will definitely be a kind person in the next life.
But tens of thousands of ghosts and gods inspire such light, which illuminates not the afterlife, but the road to enlightenment ahead.
"This is the light of the righteous path of the saint in the world. If the ghosts and gods before were just protectors of the way, then these ghosts and gods now are also members of the same path, and the potential of the saint in the world has been achieved."
In a part of the Immortal Palace, a Taoist wearing a Taoist robe with a number on his forehead looked at the place where the light was shining, with a smile on his face.
"Does this light in the Immortal Palace symbolize the prosperity of humanity and the decline of Shinto?" There was also a god elsewhere murmuring to himself.
"This light can shine for eternity. This is what I want to pursue."
Seeing this, a young immortal became a little excited, and couldn't help but rush towards the place shrouded in light.
But there are not a few gods who think like this.
The reason why many people become gods is precisely because they killed evil spirits and exorcised ghosts for the people while enjoying worship in the mortal world. They gained the love of the people, and then their fame spread and they became gods over time.
Although they have become gods for a long time, some gods still have compassion on all people in their hearts and do not want the people in the world to suffer suffering and injustice.
However, the world is like this, and many gods are just powerless and can only live in seclusion in the heavenly palace and not care about worldly affairs.
But the appearance of Li Xiuyuan brought them a new path and gave them the opportunity to realize their ideals.
How do you not know that the gods follow you?
The light shrouded and soared into the sky. From a distance, the gods in the palace looked like a sun rising, instantly overshadowing the brilliance of all the sun, moon and stars.
And although the light is bright, it is not dazzling. However, no ghosts and gods dare to stand in front of it, nor do they dare to be enveloped by this light, because the thoughts in this light are too strong, like steel, as if
Mountains are indestructible and unstoppable. They seem to contain an indescribable and huge power.
The Dongyue Divine Lord in the Dongyue Hall was moved at this moment.
In this debate between the divine way and the human way, I didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan not only won, but also convinced tens of thousands of ghosts and gods with the way, making these tens of thousands of ghosts and gods willing to embark on this way.
Protecting the Tao and entering the Tao are two completely different meanings.
The guardians of the Tao may have people who can judge the situation and judge the situation. As long as Li Xiuyuan forgets, the guardians will die. However, the situation of entering the Tao is different. Even if Li Xiuyuan dies, his Tao will still be spread and his Tao will be passed down.
If the path continues, thousands of ghosts and gods like Li Xiuyuan will appear in the future.
"This person's way will never be fulfilled." Divine Lord Dongyue felt a great threat in his heart.
He has witnessed the change of dynasties in the mortal world for two thousand years, and has also seen countless saints born to lead an era. Among them, there are many saints like Li Xiuyuan who dare to conquer ghosts and gods, and there are also many people like Li Xiuyuan who want to weaken the Shinto and protect the prosperity of humanity.
saint.
But two thousand years later, Shinto still reigns supreme.
The scholars of the Spring and Autumn Period died, and although the ideas they left behind were inherited, they were very few.
The saints of all dynasties have also died. Although they were respected by all people, their names resounded throughout the world and worshiped by all ghosts and gods, hundreds of years later they were nothing more than a wave on the river that disappeared on the shore.
None of them are enough to be afraid of.
Only this man, this Li Xiuyuan, this born saint, does not inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints, does not establish a destiny for all people, does not create peace for all generations, but only establishes a mind for heaven and earth.
What we pursue is that good and evil should be paid, reincarnation should be orderly, and all ghosts, gods, immortals, and Buddhas should be treated equally.
Its extended practice is the co-governance of humans and gods.
Break the superior privileges of gods and hand over the world to gods and humans to manage together, so that good people will be rewarded, good gods can enjoy incense and offerings, and bad gods and incompetent gods should have their temples demolished, captured and killed.
Dongyue Shenjun saw this clearly, so he became more determined to prevent Li Xiuyuan from becoming a Taoist.
If this is accomplished, there will be no need for him, the God of Mount Tai, to have any problems in the world in the future.
The grand occasion of emperors of all dynasties enshrining themselves in Mount Tai will never happen again.
Suddenly.
Lord Dongyue stood up and faced the dazzling light in the hall.
The body is majestic, like a mountain, and the face is calm, exuding a majesty that makes ghosts and gods convinced.
We cannot continue discussing Tao, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
Li Xiuyuan saw Dongyue Shenjun's move, his eyes narrowed, and he stood up, holding the immortal-killing sword tightly in his hand that he had never put down.
His ideas have been spread today, and will soon spread throughout the world and let the world's ghosts and gods know about it. At the opposite time, it will definitely bring about a disaster, a killing of the gods in the world.
There is no way to avoid this calamity. Anyone who does evil, the god who does evil, or the god who enjoys incense and offerings but does nothing will all suffer the calamity.
Because Li Xiuyuan is still there and Tao is still there, the calamity will not disappear.
"Although your way is better than this god, there are thousands of principles in the world. If an idea is to be implemented and promoted, it must have corresponding strength. Since ancient times, there are countless people who have died halfway. Li Xiuyuan,
Do you think your way will be implemented?" Dongyue Shenjun asked.
"There is no road in the world. If there are more people walking, there will be a road."
Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "The way is not possible because there are thorns and ferocious beasts in front of us, and no one drives them away. Today I am walking in front, cutting through thorns and thorns, killing ferocious beasts, and creating a path. Why won't future generations follow me?"
Do you want to go down this path? I may not be able to complete this path by myself, but future generations will also go on for me, so my path will definitely be accomplished."
Dongyue Divine Lord suddenly appeared again. This Li Xiuyuan may not be an enlightened person, but he is a pioneer. The threat is the same.
Then he said: "In that case, I have nothing to say, but do you know the weight of mountains and rivers?"
"I don't know." Li Xiuyuan said.
"The river is the Yangtze River, and the mountain is Mount Tai. This god is the God of Mount Tai, who rules all gods and ghosts, and controls life and death in the world. Can you bear the weight of Mount Tai?" Dongyue Shenjun's eyes glowed with divine light, and he said majesticly, and then
He opened his palm, and a small mountain appeared in his hand.
The shape of the mountain is exactly the same as Mount Tai, with all kinds of grass, trees, hills and ravines.
This is Dongyue Mount Tai.
Li Xiuyuan clenched the knife in his hand: "Then do you know the power of the human heart?"
"The peace of mind is as great as Mount Tai."
"As the saying goes, when people of Taoism unite, Mount Tai will move. Don't you know this?"
Dongyue Shenjun said: "In this case, please ask the saint to take over the mountain."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and shook it, and the small mountain in his hand flew out in an instant, and then opened up in the wind. In an instant, it turned into a majestic mountain that instantly enveloped the hall, covering all the ghosts and gods.
The mountains are not real, but illusory.
Although it seems illusory, it feels as if a real Mount Tai is pressing down. Even before it gets close, the ghosts and gods in the hall are frightened.
This is the siege at the top of Mount Tai.
Dongyue Shenjun wanted to crush down Mount Tai and bury all the saints in the world together with all the ghosts and gods in the Dongyue Hall.
"Sovereign Lord, my subordinates and others are also under Mount Tai."
Later, the marshals discovered that something was wrong, and they and other gods were also enveloped by Mount Tai.
