Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 377: The opposite is the movement of the Tao, the weak is the use of the Tao! The seven emotions and six desires, the power of cause and effect!

According to the Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu was born to repay tears.

But the Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass growing on the banks of the Ling River does not need any nectar to water it. In fact, doing so would be completely unnecessary.

But if it is the Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass, it is some kind of spiritual root of heaven and earth, rooted in the Three Lives Stone, then the so-called truth of returning tears seems to be hidden in it.

Even in Luofu's view, the so-called tears were actually just the process of the real mastermind dealing with the Immortal Crimson Pearl Herb.

Is the so-called process of returning tears similar to washing and cutting the inedible parts when processing food ingredients?
After completing this step, the Immortal Grass of the Crimson Pearl will naturally become a perfect spiritual material.

Especially since he has taken root in a treasure like the Three Lives Stone, he might even be the real mastermind from the beginning to the end, trying to seize the Tao and the Dharma contained in the Three Lives Stone.

With the spiritual root of the plant such as the Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass, it takes root in the Three Lives Stone and absorbs the Dao and Dharma of the Three Lives Stone to grow. However, if such a rare treasure of the Three Lives Stone is seized in this way, it is inevitable that there will be unusable causal power.

The Three Lives Stone itself is a supreme treasure on the path of the soul. As it runs through the cycle of life and death, it is inevitable that it will be contaminated by the karmic debts of human love.

By returning tears, the Immortal Crimson Pearl Herb can expel those ingredients that are harmful and useless to cultivators, and what remains are naturally the mouth-watering benefits.

From this perspective, the Taixu Illusion Realm, whose origins are unknown, is really a grand project.

Of course, from a human perspective, the practices of Taixu Illusion Realm are indeed cruel and outrageous.

But if you look at it from a monk's perspective.

The approach of Taixu Illusion Realm is simply a typical example of paying the least price to gain the greatest benefit. In the whole process, only a group of evil spirits were sacrificed, but what was left behind was the Tao and the Law of the Three Lives Stone.

There are only a few dozen souls. Even if they have outstanding talents, in the eyes of those truly powerful ones, how can they compare with the Tao and the Dharma like the Three Lives Stone?

After seeing through the possible conspiracy behind the Great Illusion Realm itself, Luo Fu suddenly realized that if he wanted to collect all the Twelve Golden Hairpins, the biggest obstacle would not be the power of the human world, but the Great Illusion Realm.

On the other hand, after being questioned by Luo Fu, in Lin Ruhai's eyes, Luo Fu was like a pervert, staring at his own little cotton-padded jacket.

Lin Ruhai was furious and was about to open his mouth to scold, but the next moment, his mind suddenly opened up.

Although he disdained Luofu's actions, Lin Ruhai had to admit that there was something wrong.

That means Luofu is indeed a person who has achieved great success in cultivation.

He really couldn't see it, but the City God of Yangzhou was Lingyou Hou, who was ranked third grade. Whether in the human world or the underworld, he was regarded as a high-ranking official.

But when Luofu occupied Yangzhou, Lingyouhou, the god of the underworld, had no choice but to ask Lin Ruhai for help, and even allowed Lin Ruhai to return to the world temporarily.

From this we can see that, at the very least, the City God of Yangzhou, Lingyou Hou, can only bow his head in front of Luofu.

But Luofu is not a Yin God, but a human cultivator of the emperor level who even the Yin God of the underworld needs to recognize.

If he really fell in love with his daughter, it might not be a bad thing for Lin Ruhai.

Let alone other things, just the strength of Luofu, unless he is determined to fight to the death with the court, otherwise, even if Luofu occupies Yangzhou, as long as he is willing to issue an amnesty, based on the current situation in the court with two suns in the same sky and two saints in the same court, at worst, Luofu can also become a powerful force.

To some extent, marrying his little girl to Luofu can be considered as serving the country and the people, and is almost equivalent to a marriage on behalf of the court.

Whether in the court or among the people, it is a good thing for one's daughter.

The only thing to worry about is whether Luofu is a good match.

Now that Lin Ruhai is dead, only his ghost remains. How long can the incense and love he left behind protect his orphan girl?
And if she married Luofu, considering Lin Daiyu's identity and situation, she could be considered a good match.

In this way, whether for himself, the court, or his daughter, it can be considered a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Now it depends on whether Luofu can stop.

Of course, what really made Lin Ruhai suddenly open his mind was his age.

Although Luofu looks tall and strong, in fact, it is not difficult to tell from his face that Luofu is no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.

Although he is a few years older than my daughter, so what?

The feudal era is not the future. Moreover, even if it is the future, there will still be many old men with young wives. Even Lin Ruhai is actually several years older than his wife Jia Min.

In this day and age, as long as the couple is not one size too big, they can almost be considered a match made in heaven.

When Luo Fu's gaze finally shifted away from the swaying Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass behind Lin Daiyu.

Lin Ruhai was left with only his ghost, but his reaction made Luo Fu raise his eyebrows.

"Mr. Lin, is my question so difficult to answer?"

"I agree." Lin Ruhai, who was lost in thought, agreed without hesitation when he heard Luo Fu's voice: "As long as you treat Yu'er well in the future, I will report to the court and ask His Majesty to grant the marriage personally."

Lin Ruhai's words made Luo Fu and Lin Daiyu fall into silence.

After a brief silence, Lin Daiyu's face instantly turned red with shame, she stamped her feet angrily, and said, "Daddy."

Luo Fu's mouth twitched. Although he did have some plans for the Twelve Golden Hairpins, wasn't Lin Ruhai a little too... lacking the integrity of a scholar-official at all?

After coming to his senses, Lin Ruhai realized that he had been a little too extreme just now and blurted out all the thoughts in his mind.

But actually this is not Lin Ruhai’s fault.

Ghosts themselves are different from humans. Although there are theories about plans, once a person's soul leaves the body, it will naturally be affected by yin energy, and all emotions and desires will go in an extreme direction.

It is no exaggeration to say that all ghosts are potentially mentally ill.

Only by truly receiving the canonization of the gods of incense and fire can one have the possibility of resisting the invasion of evil spirits into the soul's will.

But Lin Ruhai was obviously not among them. Although he was entrusted by Yangzhou City God Lingyouhou, in the final analysis, he could only be regarded as an ordinary ghost.

Especially in the period before his death, what Lin Ruhai was most worried about was his daughter.

This obsession became even more obvious when he died suddenly.

Lin Ruhai, who had reacted, now wished there was a crack in the ground he could crawl into.

However, compared to this point, he is now more concerned about whether Luofu is really willing to stop fighting.

Even if it means marrying her daughter to him, she would not hesitate.

On the one hand, in Lin Ruhai's eyes, Luofu was indeed a good neighbor and a good match, and the other reason was for the sake of the world.

After all, Lin Ruhai still had the ideal of being loyal to the emperor, patriotic, governing the country and bringing peace to the world. Even after his death, this ideal still penetrated deep into his soul.

When righteous words failed to change Luo Fu's mind, Lin Ruhai had to change his approach.

Even the way Luofu was addressed changed from Taoist Luotian to Emperor Luotian.

Lin Ruhai bowed to Luo Fu and asked, "What does Your Majesty think of my daughter?"

Luo Fu did not mean to beat around the bush, but came straight to the point and said, "You are so beautiful that I feel pity for you.

This is not an exaggeration by Luofu. As the reincarnation of the Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass, Lin Daiyu is indeed a stunning beauty. As for the so-called congenital deficiency from the womb, Luofu already understood it the first time he saw Lin Daiyu.

This is nothing more than Lin Daiyu's original body, the Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass, being used as food, and her reincarnation, the so-called return of tears, is actually just to clear away the karma and evil power of the seven emotions and six desires of the human world that she was forced to absorb because of her roots in the Three Lives Stone.

How can you be healthy if you are haunted by evil spirits since childhood?
This so-called congenital deficiency is not a problem of the physical body, but is brought by the soul when it is reincarnated.

For this world centered on incense and Shintoism,
The seven emotions and six desires, the power of cause and effect, are naturally the forces that all gods and earthly beings try to avoid, but Luofu is different.

Never forget that the earliest Luofu in the shared space made their fortune by mastering the power of the seven emotions and six desires.

It can be said that the seven emotions and six desires, cause and effect, and the power of karma that the gods and earthly beings of this world try to avoid are actually a means for Luofu to strengthen himself.

"I think the emperor and my daughter are similar in this life. How about I betroth my daughter to the emperor in exchange for the emperor to stop the war and bring peace to the people of the world? " Lin Ruhai subconsciously revealed his thoughts because of his obsession with his soul.

At this moment, he was frank and expressed his true feelings. In front of his daughter Lin Daiyu, he had a candid talk with Luo Fu.

Lin Daiyu's eyes suddenly widened.

Although she had lived in Rongguo Mansion for a long time and had developed some ignorant feelings for Jia Baoyu, in the feudal era, only the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words were the true process of marriage.

As for the budding feelings between her and Jia Baoyu, it was not worth mentioning at all. Hearing this, Luo Fu fell into deep thought.

Since he wanted to unify the three realms and start with the human world, and he also had the ambition to collect all the twelve golden hairpins, he could not just rely on cunning and plunder.

And if they really get married, in fact, in Luofu's opinion, among the Twelve Golden Hairpins, the most suitable one to be the principal wife, at least for him, is Lin Daiyu.

Yes.

Lin Daiyu seems petty in the eyes of others.

The Twelve Golden Hairpins all have their own problems, more or less. Among the four sisters Yuan, Ying, Tan and Xi, we will not mention Yuanchun who entered the palace for the time being.

Yingchun developed a dull character in the Rongguo Mansion. Unless her husband supported her wholeheartedly, the dull character she had developed since childhood would make it impossible for her to stand on her own feet. Yingchun, who was good at playing chess, did have the potential to become the main wife and had enough scheming, but the atmosphere in the Rongguo Mansion for a long time made her cautious and careful, and she had no confidence and courage to become the main wife of a clan.

Tanchun, on the other hand, is a little too outspoken, and even seems to be unable to distinguish between relatives and strangers. Of course, this is also something that Mrs. Wang deliberately cultivated. Tanchun's biggest shortcoming is that she cares too much about the so-called ethical principles and even regards them as her guiding principles.

For Luo Fu, the key to becoming his legal wife is to know how to weigh the pros and cons, rather than taking the moral code as the criterion. You know, except for the bottom line and principles, everything else can be flexible. On this point, Tanchun, who cares too much about the moral code, is not appropriate.

Not to mention Xichun, who was a young lady from Ningguo Mansion but was raised in Rongguo Mansion. Her biggest problem was that she escaped after seeing through the fickleness of the world and the indifference of human nature. She didn't care about anything else except herself. Even the maid who had taken care of her growing up, Xichun was willing to sacrifice when needed.

Although Yuanchun was outstanding in all aspects, not to mention the fact that she had already entered the palace, her concern for the Jia family, which was a cesspool, was enough to exclude Luofu from the choice of wife.

The other twelve golden hairpins also have their own problems. Therefore, the strongest competitors for Luofu’s legal wife are undoubtedly Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu.

When comparing Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, in Luofu's eyes, Xue Baochai actually has great disadvantages. It is not that she, like Lin Daiyu, was born with congenital heat and poison from her mother's womb.

But because he came from a merchant family, he was accustomed to weighing the pros and cons of everything.

Although on the surface, compared to the generous Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu, who was born in a family of officials, seems petty.

But in Luofu's opinion, Lin Daiyu's reaction was normal.

Even in terms of identity and status, Lin Daiyu is superior to Xue Baochai in Rongguo Mansion. Her many tempers are actually more because she did not get the attitude and treatment she deserved.

Unfortunately, her father was seriously ill from the beginning and later passed away, leaving Lin Daiyu completely without any support.

In fact, from Lin Daiyu's attitude towards Xiren, it is not difficult to see that she has the potential to become the legal wife. She targets Xue Baochai more because Xue Baochai is not qualified to compete with her, but everyone compares her with Xue Baochai.

Unfortunately, Lin Daiyu's mother and father died one after another. Without anyone to rely on, she was depressed and naturally gave people the impression that she was petty.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and Luo Fu couldn't help but look at Lin Ruhai with interest.

For him, if Lin Daiyu could really become his legal wife, it would be of great help to him in conquering the world.

That is the issue of Lin Ruhai’s background.

As a third place winner in the imperial examination and a fifth-generation marquis, it can be said that he has considerable connections both in scholarly families and among powerful and noble military officials. The combination of the two will allow Luofu to pacify the world at the fastest speed.

This does not mean that Luofu will compromise with the landlord class.

It is because taking the world and ruling the world are two different concepts. In the process of pacifying the world, a certain degree of compromise is inevitable. But when Luofu has completely secured his control of the world, it is time to turn around and clean up those who once helped him.

Tao Te Ching says, "Reversal is the movement of Tao, weakness is the use of Tao."

In Luofu's process of conquering the world, the landlord class, if they can be won over, will become his greatest arm, but when he has firmly established his control over the world, these landlords will in turn become thorns in his eyes.

Although Luofu could crush the world with pure tyrannical power, even if Luofu read Marxism-Leninism in reverse, he had received nine years of compulsory education. He made many friends and few enemies. This was completely an instinct under the inertia of thinking.

Keenly aware of Luo Fu's thoughtful expression.

Lin Ruhai thought Luo Fu really wanted to agree.

Not only was he delighted, he immediately advised, "The Great Emperor has profound cultivation and can unify the world with military force, but the current dynasty, although there are twists and turns, has definitely not reached the time for a change of dynasty. For the current dynasty, the current problem is just a minor problem. The current emperor is wise and decisive, and will not sit idly by and watch the situation deteriorate. He will definitely find a way to solve it. If the Great Emperor insists on his own way, he will inevitably follow the path of the Great Sage Teacher."

It goes without saying who the Great Sage Teacher is. It is none other than Zhang Jue, the Taoist monk with yellow turbans, who wanted to invite the Han Dynasty to die with him because the blue sky has died and the yellow sky should be established and the year is Jiazi.

In Lin Ruhai's mind, he had no idea how strong Luofu was. He subconsciously regarded Luofu as the current Zhang Jiao.

Unfortunately, compared to Lin Ruhai's orthodox position and thoughts in the court, although Luo Fu was a confirmed feudal fighter, before he became emperor, his position was still somewhat on the side of the common people.

Shaking his head, Luo Fu said: "It is not my fault that the world is in this state today. Although the Great Sage and Good Teacher is a sage of my generation, he may not be as good as me!"

Seeing that Luo Fu was determined to rebel, Lin Ruhai felt nervous and said, "If the Great Sage Master had not rebelled, he would have been revered by the people in the future. The Great Emperor is so young, but he has such great accomplishments. We should take him as a warning. How can we have the intention to follow his example?"

Looking at Lin Ruhai with a half-smile, Luo Fu said: "As you said, the world today is indeed not yet at the stage of a dynasty change, but now, I want to invite Daqing to die."

That’s right, the dynasty that Luofu belongs to, like Luofu in Joy of Life, is a dynasty with Qing as its country name.

However, today, although there have been changes in the north, Daqing is a truly unified country. Although the Daqing in Joy of Life is powerful, it can only be regarded as a separatist force, not a truly unified country.

"You..." Lin Ruhai glared at Luo Fu. No matter what he said, even if he sacrificed his own daughter, he couldn't make Luo Fu change his mind. At this moment, Lin Ruhai almost gave up completely.

However, since Luo Fu had the idea of ​​making Lin Daiyu his legal wife, even if he did not treat Lin Ruhai as a master due to his status and power, if he could win over Lin Ruhai, it would also help him win over Lin Daiyu and, further, gain control of the many connections and legacies left by Lin Ruhai.

The so-called inheritance, of course, is not the Lin family’s assets worth millions of cars.

After all, it is only because women are in power now that the short-sighted Rongguo Mansion would treasure the millions of family properties that Lin Daiyu brought with her. The truly smart people would only value Lin Daiyu's connections, which came from the five generations of the Lin family and the connections brought by Lin Ruhai, a doctor at the Lanting Temple and the imperial envoy of salt who was a top scholar in the imperial examination.

That is a true network of contacts spanning both civil and military fields.

Civil officials are fond of forming cliques for personal gain, and in the same year, that is a natural reason and excuse for forming cliques.

In Luofu's view, the reason why Lin Ruhai firmly believed that Luofu would not achieve great things was that he believed that the current dynasty, Daqing, had not yet run out of luck and it was not time for a change of dynasty. Even if Luofu was in a fierce situation, at most it was the Zhang Jiao of the modern era, at best a pioneer for the king, opening up the chaotic times and leaving a name for eternal infamy in the future.

On the other hand, his understanding of the power of Luofu's subordinates was seriously insufficient.

I believe that with Lin Ruhai's knowledge, if he saw the more than 16,000 loyal and courageous soldiers under Luofu, even if he would not change his position immediately, his mind would be shaken. You know, even among a million elite troops, it is not certain how many hundred enemies can be found.

And what about Luo Fu? His subordinates are all real enemies of a hundred people.

Now, after the capture of Yangzhou, they have gradually begun to transform into an elite force. It's a pity that the process of capturing Yangzhou still relied more on tricks. But after experiencing several real bloody battles, even if there are 16,000 enemies and half of them are lost, leaving only 8,000, that is enough to become a force that dominates the world.

In fact, Luofu uses blood energy to mass-produce energy seeds and create large numbers of beings that can defeat hundreds of enemies. In this era of backward productivity, it is like using an invincible cheat.

Neither Luo Fu nor Lin Ruhai could convince the other party simply by arguing with words.

So Luo Fu directly ordered his maids and servants to send Lin Daiyu to the back house.

Afterwards, Luo Fu personally took Lin Ruhai to visit his own military camp.

After seeing the real enemies of hundreds of people under Luofu's command, one after another, especially among them, there were three thousand armored men who were terrifying because of the capture of Yangzhou.

Lin Ruhai suddenly became more silent, and his heart was seriously shaken, just as Luo Fu had thought before.

He didn't understand how there could be such a thing as Luofu in the world.

Because of the ghosts, Lin Ruhai could truly feel that none of the more than 16,000 enemies under Luofu's command were defeated using Taoist magic.

Although the Taoist magic of the Yellow Turban Warriors is mysterious, it can't exert much power in the face of the evil spirit of the army. Especially in this world dominated by incense and gods, the Taoist magic is even more vulnerable.

But Luofu's 16,000 men are a different enemy. If they were not for Luofu's protection, even with Lin Ruhai's current ghost state, if he approached any soldier under Luofu's command, he would be distracted by the opponent's blood and masculine energy.

After returning from the battle, Luo Fu was very considerate and used a method that could be regarded as a great magical power to reverse life and death in this extraordinary world centered on incense and fire. He restored the vitality of Lin Ruhai's body that had corpse spots.

Of course, although Lin Ruhai's soul returned to his body and was no different from a real living person, Luofu did not give him any extraordinary means such as the seed of energy. He was able to return to the world of the living as a living person, and was mostly supported by Luofu's energy.

The reason why Luo Fu helped Lin Ruhai return to life was more out of consideration for the ghost's paranoia.

Only true mortals will have their seven emotions and six desires shaken, and will not be affected by the negative energy like ghosts, and their temperaments will gradually become paranoid and extreme.

He experienced the process of the ghost coming back to life again, but this time, Lin Ruhai did not have the same surprised attitude as before when he was entrusted by Lingyou Hou to do so.

In his heart, he was always in a state of panic, following Luofu and witnessing the shock of more than 16,000 enemies.

After all, Lin Ruhai was born into a family of nobles for five generations, and he was not a weak scholar who knew nothing about military formations. Not to mention that his wife was Jia Min, the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, who came from a powerful military family.
