Chapter 480: Three Vows to Grant the Magical Dharma

"I……"

The woman in red stood there in a daze, and her excitement when she saw Shao Siming instantly calmed down.

She suddenly found that she didn't know how to respond to Shao Siming's question. She recalled her thoughts and found that she wanted to give her child everything. But when she thought about it carefully, she found that many of her hopes for her child, or the things she hoped her child would achieve, were conflicting.

Seeing that the other party had understood the problem, Shao Siming lightly tapped the illusory purple bamboo branch in his hand, and a spiritual light fell on the woman's abdomen, revealing the fetus still growing in her belly.

"Take a look at what kind of person you want your child to become."

With a flicker of spiritual light, the fetus kept changing according to the woman's previous prayers, which made her eyes slightly red.

She kowtowed to Shao Siming and said, "I, Hong Gu, the believer, beg the goddess to have mercy and guide me through this maze."

"It's easy to give instructions, but before that, I need to know one thing. Do you want this child to become a human or a demon? Now this child is still in your belly, born from the innate Qi, and has not yet fully formed. Can you intervene to decide whether he will be born as a human or as an elf?"

"The world today belongs to the human race, so I naturally hope that this child will be born as a boy."

Hong Gu's answer made Shao Siming sigh. She also knew that the woman in front of her was obviously influenced by the mortals around her, but she couldn't say that she was wrong, so she continued.

"It would be easy to be born as a human, but it is not the right way for a spirit like you to give birth to a human. I have a method that can allow you to look inside the human body and transform yourself into a human. During this process, you and your child will achieve mutual success. When the child is born, it will be the day you become a human."

"Of course, you don't have to worry about your own cultivation. This method of observation is a method of cultivation. It will transform your magic power into the pure energy of the immortals. Even if you want to return to your identity as a spirit in the future, you can only retain a small amount of your essence, or integrate part of your essence into the fish scales. In the future, you can hold the fish scales and observe your current true appearance, and you can turn it back."

Hong Gu was overjoyed when she heard this. She bowed to Shao Siming and kowtowed, saying, "I pray to the goddess for mercy and to teach you the wonderful Dharma."

"Now that I have appeared, I will naturally teach you this method, but we must first agree on three rules. I will teach you this method, and you must swear three oaths."

"First, the circulation of yin and yang between heaven and earth has its own laws. You cannot use this law to arbitrarily distort the nature of the child in your belly. You cannot distort the child's essence. You cannot use it as a view, turn your own thoughts into a brand, and frame its future."

After hearing this, Hong Gu was stunned for a moment, but when she saw Shao Siming coming, she kowtowed and said, "I, Hong Gu, a believer, am willing to swear that if I can obtain the Dharma, I will obey the command of the goddess and follow the movement of the yin and yang energies between heaven and earth..."

"Second, the fortune or misfortune of your offspring is mostly the result of their upbringing. You cannot use this method to look inward for the sake of having a virtuous son, and waste your essence to nurture him, which may lead to your own decay. At most, you can move according to the time of day, nurture him with the three elements, and form him with the nine energies. On a daily basis, you should still focus on yourself, nourish your spirit, accumulate your energy, and cultivate your essence. You must not stop practicing."

After saying that, Shao Siming saw Hong Gu standing there in a daze again, so he explained.

"I am Shao Siming, the god who protects children and women. Among the three oaths, the first is to protect children, and the second is naturally to protect women. You are my believer, so I will protect you. If you encounter disasters during childbirth, you can silently recite my name, and I will respond to your call and come to protect your life."

The woman kowtowed again, this time even more forcefully than the first time, and said firmly: "I, the believer Hong Gu, swear that if I can obtain the Dharma, I will obey the command of the goddess..."

Shao Siming saw the change in the woman's aura, smiled and said: "Third, this method is not the only one I have given you. You can spread it throughout the world. All sentient beings who ask you for the Dharma should be required to swear three oaths and pass on the wonderful Dharma." Hong Gu was stunned for the third time, looked at Shao Siming and said: "My lady, do I not need to observe the precepts, do good deeds, recite scriptures and practice?"

"You are doing good deeds, that is your own business. I am manifesting now only because of your special identity and the fetus you have. That is why I am teaching you the Dharma. In essence, it is because you are a woman and have a fetus in your belly."

Shao Siming's answer made Hong Gu look even more strange. She whispered, "But I went to other temples in the past to fulfill my vows..."

Looking at Shao Siming's gaze, Hong Gu's words became softer and softer until they were almost silent. Shao Siming retracted his gaze and said, "I don't know what other places are like, but I don't need it here. If you believe in me, I will protect you. If you don't believe in me, I will still protect you if I see it."

"If you really want to fulfill your vow and build a golden statue for me, you might as well go out and help those women. You are an elf. Although you are a red carp in the water, your perception of plants and trees is far better than that of ordinary people. You can also be more aware of the illnesses of women."

At this point, Shao Siming paused, stretched out his hand, and taught Hong Gu a lot of knowledge about treating gynecological diseases, saying: "This way, you will be more confident in treating patients, and you will be able to answer better when others ask you."

"Thank you for your kindness, Madam."

Hong Gu kowtowed three times and made her third vow. Shao Siming then taught her the magic and then turned into a ray of light and disappeared.

The same situation also occurred in many places, which made Shao Siming's foundation in this world more stable.

To put it bluntly, although most of the believers are women, when it comes to children, the whole family will respect them.

Especially when rumors about pregnancy, fetal preservation, and natural childbirth spread from time to time, it makes many couples who have not yet conceived or whose fetuses are in a dangerous position even more pious.

The rise of the belief in Shao Siming also enabled women like Hong Gu, who had received medical instruction from Shao Siming, to enjoy higher status in various places, and the order of the entire world also experienced a brief period of stability.

And Shao Siming herself also vaguely grasped a glimmer of new vitality in the process of welcoming newborns again and again.

This rebirth is different from the usual changes in the seasons of heaven and earth, the warmth and vitality brought by the thawing east wind at the beginning of spring, and it is also different from the continuous vitality of plants breaking through the soil.

It is a rebirth that involves destiny, civilization and humanitarian order.

It is a new life that straddles the paths of heaven and man.

Shao Siming, who grasped this new vitality, had a more skillful way to break the impasse when faced with the Chiyou Blood Spring and the power left by Feixian Zhenjun.

And after Hong Gu gave birth to her own child who was completely human and she herself was completely transformed into a human, Shao Siming gained a little bit of the new life breath that came from the interweaving of the fate of humans and spirits, as well as a little bit of the Taoist fruit breath of Master Dongzhao.

After these two forces intertwined in Shao Siming's hands for a moment, they were sent to Chu Tai's hands.
