The Seven Saints arrived, not long after Taichu and Hongjun communicated.
The thousand-year agreement made by Hongjun has arrived, and they are here.
When Hongjun saw this, he no longer needed to accompany Taichu when the Seven Sages came. As for the Conferring God, he could just take control of it, as Taoist Taoist friends Taichu could.
Therefore, while the Seven Saints were dumbfounded, Hongjun gave the God-Selfing Monument to Taichu and left.
"This old guy knows how to be lazy."
Taichu muttered speechlessly.
Seven Saints: "..."
They said they didn't hear anything. As for Dao Zun's disapproval of Dao Ancestor's laziness and joking, can we juniors hear this?
"Ahem..." Taichu was startled and seemed reckless.
Have you forgotten that there are seven saints?
Yu Du's only female disciple, Nuwa, suppressed her laughter and almost laughed out loud. The master was still doing whatever he wanted, too ethereal.
"I just returned from Chaos, and a bunch of Xiaoxiao dared to attract Honghuang's attention... Well, so I don't know much about the matter of becoming a god. Can you please tell me about it later?"
Seven Saints: "...?"
The Seven Saints are confused again. You don't understand. Taoist Master doesn't joke like this.
"Ahem, Master." Zhen Yuanzi thought to himself; we can't let the teacher lose face.
He said: "Master, Taoist ancestor said before..."
Knowing that Taichu knew everything, Zhen Yuanzi still said it again.
"Well, I understand." Taichu nodded and asked: "In that case, can you please discuss who will be on the list and who will not be on the list?"
"Not yet." The Seven Saints were sweating a little.
"Forget it, let's just rely on chance." Taichu had known this for a long time. Saints only have desires in heaven and earth, and it is impossible for them to willingly be on the list.
It seems that the general trend is unstoppable. In this case, everything depends on ability.
Whoever has great ability will have his disciples not on the list; whoever has little ability will have his sect weakened.
Nuwa said: "Master, I don't have a sect, so I don't need to preach. Moreover, the human race I created has already completed its merits and virtues. Doesn't I need to suffer calamity?"
After Nuwa asked the question, everyone was very envious. Nuwa was really lucky if she did not become a saint.
Taichu shook his head: "Although you don't have a sect, this calamity is caused by you and the saints after the Lich Human Race has reached perfection, and it is also the calamity you are waiting for. Taoist Taoist Hongjun must have said it, but I can understand it clearly
Let me tell you: this calamity was caused by the saints, and you are the source of the calamity."
Taichu was not as 'subtle' as Hongjun, and directly expressed his true thoughts.
"Tao Zun, saint, saint have no cause and effect..." Lao Tzu.
"It is true that there is no cause and effect, but it is passed on to the entire prehistoric world." Taichu said.
"This?" All living beings were confused.
So, they are the culprits?
There were countless calamities in the prehistoric era, and it was only because of them that there were calamities.
"You are saints, walking on behalf of heaven. You have desires in your heart, so heaven and earth have desires. What you think and do is what heaven and earth think about... However, if you cultivate to the highest level,
Therefore, one person’s desire is no less than a living being’s desire. A saint’s cause and effect will lead to a living being’s cause and effect…”
In short, don't make excuses, you are the cause of all the calamities in the world.
Why? Because you only have desires and no contributions, or your contributions are not as good as your desires.
Therefore, the heaven and earth are out of balance, and calamity is coming.
The saint was silent. Do you really have to shoulder the blame?
"Take Nuwa as an example. Nuwa did not preach and had no followers, and she had great merit and luck in creating people. She should not have to suffer disaster... However, Nuwa's mount, Nuwa's boy, and all her subordinates,
But relying on the power of Nuwa, they did evil in the ancient times and caused karma. They relied on Nuwa, but they did not have a strong Taoist heart and merits to contribute to the ancient times. Therefore, it seems that Nuwa has no sect and does not need to be robbed.
But the people under my sect have caused karma and need to be robbed."
It sounds mysterious, but it's actually easy to understand.
Taichu's unparalleled luck and such a strong cultivation level, in order to balance and prevent his disciples from being contaminated by cause and effect, he suppressed the Wuliang Sect and never participated in the competition.
Wuliangmen must also abide by the Taoist heart.
This was the case for Yang Jian, the disciple of Yun Zhongzi before.
Yun Zhongzi could have attacked the Jade Emperor, but he didn't. He asked Yang Jian to solve it by himself. This was only Yang Jian's own business.
Why are the disciples of the saint so majestic? Aren't they relying on the saint? The saint is not contaminated with cause and effect, but they are not.
In addition, the cause and effect of the saint's selfish desires is not possessed by the saint himself, so it is transferred to the disciples and subordinates.
The combination of these two has great consequences.
All of the above can be summed up as getting too much and giving too little, which leads to calamity.
Heaven and earth are equal, and heaven and earth are in balance. This is what it says.
When there is an imbalance between heaven and earth, calamity will come.
…
"Disciple is ashamed." Nuwa felt uneasy.
I thought to myself: I have indeed indulged my subordinates, and I need to manage them better in the future. It seems inevitable that this time my subordinates will be in trouble.
"We are ashamed." The other six people were also ashamed by Taichu's straightforward words.
"Good, as long as you know your mistakes and can correct them! In addition, you don't need to blame yourself. It's nothing more than this for living beings to seek the Tao. The way of heaven is to make up for the shortcomings when there is more damage. The way of living beings is not the same. If there is not enough damage, there will be more than enough. The essence of living beings
That's the case, it's just that their Taoism and state of mind were not enough, so they passed."
Taibei is still Taibei, standing high and seeing far away, and will not criticize them harshly for their mistakes.
It's fine as long as it doesn't go too far, but it's not good if it goes too far, such as suppressing the Five Saints.
Are there mistakes in living beings? Or are there mistakes in saints and their disciples? There are mistakes, but they are not unique to them. All living beings are the same.
Everyone is like this in order to seek the truth, and this is not wrong.
But: when the calamity comes, when the test comes, don’t say you are unwilling.
You have passed through countless calamities and your merits are complete,
If you can't survive, everything will be empty, return it to the primitive world, and return it to other living beings.
Very simple.
…
"Since you already understand, then sign it. Or...it all depends on fate." Taichu waved his hand, and the golden light of the God-conferring Monument flashed.
But the saint was startled and realized that it was impossible to sign.
Taoist Master also said that all living beings are like this. This time, there is just a monument to the gods with low cause and effect. There was no way before, and there was nothing we could do when the calamity came. But this time, there is it, but who is willing to do it?
"Tao Zun." I took a step forward.
"The younger generation only has one person in my family, Xuandu. Therefore, the younger generation's inheritance cannot be included on the list. Since the calamity is determined by me and my disciples, the younger generation is willing to minimize the cause and effect. The younger generation's good corpse Taishang Laojun can be included in the list."
"Wow!"
All the saints are excited, I am so cruel, are you willing to do this?
I ignored everyone's surprise, but said: "It's just that the younger generation has something to puzzle about. Dare I ask the venerable: If the corpse is divided and put on the list, will it affect the unity?"
"The unity of the three corpses is the state of enlightenment, and it is also transcendent and will not affect you. If they are united, the God-conferring Monument will automatically eliminate your good corpses." Taichu affirmed.
"Then I have no regrets." After listening to Taichu's words, I waved my hand and cut myself into pieces, and Taishang Laojun's name appeared on the monument to the gods.
In this way, Lao Tzu and the entire human religion can say that there is no calamity this time, and there is no cause and effect.
I dare to do this, but others don’t!
What's more, the two people in the West are still planning to become gods this time.
If cause and effect cancel out, how will Buddhism come about? So the two of them were indifferent, and even felt nervous when they saw Lao Tzu's behavior, not to affect their own plans.
"Tao Zun, there are some juniors who can be on the list."
Tongtian also gritted his teeth and wrote hundreds of names with a wave of his hand. They were all unworthy and had been prepared a long time ago.
but!
I thought it could be offset, but Tongtian was disappointed.
This unworthy disciple cannot be offset by far.
Nowadays, Jiejiao is the largest religion in the spiritual world, and the cause and effect in it is too great. It is too much to think that some insignificant creatures can offset the cause and effect of the entire sect.
But when I asked him to continue writing, he hesitated...
"Master, calamity measurement is both a crisis and an opportunity. Our Wuliang Sect has never been afraid of calamity measurement. The disciples will not sign any more and let them go on their own." Zhen Yuanzi suddenly said at this time.
This sentence directly saved Tongtian. Tongtian was stunned: Yes, it is a calamity but also an opportunity. I didn't sign it just now.
It's different from me.
Only one of my disciples is still a quasi-sage, and the rest are single disciples.
He had the fewest disciples and couldn't afford the loss, so he decided to sign for dismemberment.
Tongtian thinks that he is different. He has so many disciples, so he doesn't worry about being cut off.
Tongtian thought about it.
"Tao Zun, there are not many juniors who are on the list, and the rest all depends on their luck." Yuanshi Tianzun felt much more comfortable. With Tongtian and Zhen Yuanzi in front of him, he had more opportunities to choose.
Therefore, I entered some of the outer sects I had thought of before, even those who had just been admitted to the sect, in order to prepare for the list. As for the personal transfer, there was no one.
"Tao Zun, the same goes for me in the West..." The two people in the West breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, my plan was not interrupted by my generous move.
Lian Gen felt that Zhen Yuanzi was really good. For the first time, he discovered that Zhen Yuanzi was really good. It all depended on luck. He went on his own and solved his big crisis.
I wrote them all! However, everything I wrote is irrelevant.
If the gods are divided into upper and lower rankings, they will all be insignificant god positions on the lower and lower rankings. As Taichu expected, they still need to be activated.
"Since you have made your decision, I still have one more thing to explain." Taichu said:
"The Conferring God Meeting will be presided over by a person of great luck, who has the appearance of a flying bear, and will hold the Conferring God Stele and the God Beating Whip..."
After Taichu finished speaking, the saints were startled and asked: "Dare to ask, who is this person?"
"When the Conferred God is opened, a person with great luck will appear and become a disciple of one of you. It depends on the opportunity. Okay, what else do you want to ask?"
Taichu smiled when he said this, thinking of Nvwa and Nvba's mount, the Black Panther, did this change his fate?
The saint saw that Tao Zun didn't say anything, and they didn't ask any more questions.
"Tao Zun, how to activate the Conferred God?"
"It will naturally open when it should be opened, so go ahead and prepare. Measuring calamities is a general trend and there are no rules to follow. Everything is a fixed number, but the fixed number is not absolute and can be changed. It is a glimmer of opportunity. You just have to grasp it."
After saying that, Taichu let them leave.
…
ps: Let me tell you, from now on, updates will be in the afternoon and evening every day, and early in the morning. Some book friends said that staying up late is uncomfortable. It happens that Zuiyue has not slept before midnight for eight months. I need to correct the jet lag, or else it will be useless.
I have been busy with farming recently, and Zuiyue is tired and wants to sleep. I really can't stay up all night.
It's the end of the month, and tomorrow is the first day of September, so I'll take this opportunity to change the update time.
