If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 699 Guardian God
Xiao Yu pondered for a while and said, "As Qigong practitioners, we must obey the will of heaven, but the will of heaven is unpredictable, but the will of the people is certain.

Public opinion is not the same as God’s will, and God’s will cannot completely go against public opinion.

As long as you are speaking for the people, not seeking personal gain, and not violating human ethics, you can do whatever you want without any taboos.

If you have a clear conscience, even if there is any "heavenly punishment" or "divine punishment" coming, you will have no fear and no regrets. "

“Having said that, Fairy Feiyu, please be careful next time. If you encounter someone like Xiu Ge again, use your strategy more often and use your sword with caution.

It is said that my life is in my own body. It is not killed by heaven and earth, nor harmed by ghosts and gods. It will disappear by itself if I lose my way.

Use tricks to wear down his luck first, and he will naturally lose the favor of heaven, and then killing him will be like killing a dog. "Lu Lingzi advised.

Xiao Yu frowned and said: "Xiu Ge massacred the city and killed countless people, but he still hasn't 'lost the Tao and died'. What exactly is this 'Tao'?

Or, when Xu Ge met me, he lost his way and died?
I am also a part of the universe, and what I do is the will of heaven."

Lu Lingzi smiled bitterly and said, "If the fairy chops off Xiu Ge's head with the first sword, then of course Xiu Ge's life will be over.

But you chased him all the way, and even ignored the appearance of the Demon Star. The one who protected Xu Ge was not the God, but the Demon Star, which shows that he really has a destiny.

Although it is not in line with mortal "reason", God probably allowed Hugh to be born into the world to kill people and massacre cities.

From a mortal's point of view, it is simply unbelievable and the way of heaven is cruel.

But we humans are ultimately just one of the myriad creatures in the universe, not 'all'.

As the fairy said, God's will will not completely go against the will of the people.

It can even be said that public opinion is the will of heaven.

But the "public opinion" here does not refer to the people of a certain region.

No matter how proud and conceited the people of China are, they must admit that they are not the whole of the human race.

The laws governing the operation of the Way of Heaven follow the overall will of all things and spirits in the universe, with the human race being the most important among them.

Even if we only talk about the human race, our Chinese Divine Land is just one of them."

He sighed helplessly, "Although it is a bit treasonous, I cannot treat you with empty words. In the past, our Great Qin was not benevolent and used to force people to surrender. Now that our strength is declining, our luck is gone. Isn't this destiny?"

Xiao Yu asked curiously, "You can see it clearly, why did you come to Yanmen Pass?"

Lu Lingzi said: "Behind Yanmen Pass is the land of China, how can I watch the barbarians ravage our Chinese people?
I have seen clearly the destiny of the Qin Dynasty. I have nothing to say and no ability to change it.

But the Qin Dynasty may perish, but China cannot be destroyed."

Xiao Yu laughed and said, "Since you have such an understanding, what else can you say? Just chop them down. If I meet Tou Man someday, I will chop him down as well. What is God's will? I respect God, but I have to fight for my destiny."

The fact that Shenzhou became Shenzhou was not a gift from heaven.

It was the people of Shenzhou who fought against the heavens and against men to build Jambu Continent into Shenzhou.

Lu Lingzi advised: "That's what you say, but struggle also requires means.

We, the people outside the world, still need to be cautious when dealing with destiny.

If you kill, you will create serious consequences and incur great karma.

If General Meng killed Xiu Ge in battle formation, not only would there be no backlash, but he would also be able to take away a portion of Xiu Ge's destiny!"

"Seizing the Mandate of Heaven is too mysterious. I am not a general, so I will not compete with General Meng Yi for the credit on the battlefield. This time, I killed Xiu Ge hundreds of miles away, and he was almost entering the territory of Donghu.

If I don't do anything, that bastard will run away." Xiao Yu said.

If there are two hidden dragons fighting each other, such as Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, if one hidden dragon kills another hidden dragon, he will definitely be able to seize the other's luck - in the form of territory, prestige, population, and army.

But Meng Yi is just a border general and is not very favored by the court.

Even if he killed Xiu Ge in battle, his own strength and status in the court would not be able to rise any further.

"Since Xiu Ge is protected by the demon star, how did the fairy kill him?" asked Lu Lingzi.

"I killed the Demon Star as well. I killed the Demon Star first, and then killed Xu Ge last." Xiao Yu said.

Lu Lingzi was stunned at first, then a little skeptical, and said: "The demon stars are born with luck, not to mention that they are all strong and almost impossible to kill.

Their whereabouts are mysterious, hidden in destiny. They come and go without a trace, and cannot be caught up with! "

Xiao Yu was surprised and asked, "Brother, have you seen the Demon Star before? Or are there many 'Demon Kings of Chaos' like Xu Ge who are protected by the Demon Star? What you said is almost the same as what I saw."

Lu Lingzi smiled complacently, then shook his head and said, "I have never done anything to kill the king, so I have never had the chance to see the Demon Star.

The 'Devil King of Chaos' who is guarded by the Demon Star is also very rare.

It is usually only at the end of a dynasty that a 'demon star' or 'demon king' is born with good fortune."

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh again, with obvious worry in his eyes.

“If we stretch the time to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, there will always be heroes who do the same thing as Fairy Feiyu.

There is no major causal connection between people like us who practice pure cultivation and this kind of demon king, and there is no intersection of our destiny.

Fate has dictated that they all have their own calamities and nemesis.

Immortals are supposed to stay away from the world, so it is natural that 'people outside this world' are no longer in the fate of being a demon king in this world.

Therefore, it is difficult for Qi Refiners to kill them.

The 'sage' corresponding to the evil star is more common.

The reason why I came out early to intercept the fairy was to avoid General Meng and have a few words with him.

Apart from matters concerning the destiny of the Qin Dynasty, it is not appropriate to talk about them in front of General Meng.

Another reason is that I am worried that General Meng Yi himself is a great nobleman protected by the gods.

If the nobleman himself knew about his patron saint, he might force the saint away.

In this way, we will ruin General Meng's fate.

Of course, I can only guess that General Meng is protected by gods, but I am not sure.

I have heard from people that a wise man once saw a boy in green holding an incense burner in front of Prime Minister Li Si, and no ghosts, gods, demons or evil spirits could get close to him.

I was curious and went to see for myself, but there was nothing in front of Prime Minister Li.

It's not that the master is lying, it's that I am not blessed.

The fairy can see the demon stars and kill them all, she is indeed a person of great fortune and virtue."

In fact, during the Journey to the West period, the Six Dings and Six Jias, the Five Directions Jiedis, the Four Valued Officials, and the eighteen guardian monastics who protected Tang Sanzang were all "guardian gods."

The guardian god comes with the destiny and hides in the "auspicious clouds of destiny" of the nobleman.

In other words, there was the good fortune of a great nobleman to help cover up his tracks.

For example, Tang Sanzang has misty auspicious clouds and auspicious aura circling above his head, making him the most suitable guardian god.

If they were in normal conditions, they would be easily seen by the gods even if they hid in the cracks of the Shinto dimension.

Once they became guardian gods and part of the auspicious cloud of fortune, even Wukong found it difficult to see them.

On several occasions, the guardian deity took the initiative to show up and talk to Monkey King.

However, Bajie and Monk Sha have no "blesses and virtues".

If Monkey King hadn’t reminded them, they wouldn’t have known about the existence of this group of “unmanifested” guardian gods.

After Wukong left the team, Tang Seng's guardian deity secretly helped Bajie and Sha Monk to deal with Kuimu Lang, so that Bajie and Sha Monk had an illusion that they were really good at fighting and could fight Kuimu Lang on equal terms. After Tang Seng was released by Kuimu Lang, the two of them came back to cause trouble for him.

At that time, Tang Seng had already gone to Baoxiang Kingdom, and the guardian god belonged to Tang Seng, not to the team of pilgrims.

Wherever Tang Seng went, his guardian deity followed him.

Without the secret help of the guardian gods, Bajie and Sha Seng could only hold out for eight or nine rounds before they were defeated.

"I don't have much luck, so I chased them all the way to the gate of the City of Wrongful Death before I killed some demon stars."

At this moment, Xiaoyu didn't think of the Six Ding and Six Jia gods in Journey to the West.

She said this modestly at first, then asked in confusion: "Why would you drive the Guardian God away when you only knew about his existence?"

Lu Lingzi twirled his beard lightly, his face reminiscing, "There was a similar thing in the past. When the noble knew that there was a god protecting him, he kept thinking about it in his heart all the time and wanted to meet the god who protected him.

Although destiny is the highest, fate can also change.

For example, this Xu Ge, isn’t he dead now?

It is destiny that the gods protect your noble people.

God sends gods to protect your noble people, to prevent certain accidents from causing their death and interfering with the normal operation of the universe.

When a noble person peeks into one's destiny, one's destiny is disturbed and changed.

When he loses his destiny, the gods will feel sorry for him but will have no choice but to leave. "

Tang Seng's guardian deity appears to be protecting him, but in fact he is protecting Tang Seng's destiny to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

If Tang Seng stayed in the Kingdom of Women to be the king, or if his journey to the West was over, the guardian gods would leave.

Xiao Yu asked curiously, "Who arranged these guardian gods? Are there any rules and taboos?"

Lu Lingzi pointed to the stars in the night sky and said, "In the sky there is the Star Lord who controls destiny, as well as many star gods who control fate.

They are in touch with the Way of Heaven and naturally know what "God's will" is.

They will also represent "God" to judge which nobles need the protection of the gods, and then arrange for the gods of the star palace to descend to the earth.

Corresponding to this, at the end of the dynasty, the resentment, death, murderous intent and other dark energies in the world gathered together to form a calamity that accelerated the destruction of the dynasty, and the Demon Star Demon King was born with this calamity.

As the saying goes, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain.

Although the demon star kills people, it is actually a good thing for the people that the dynasty that was destined to end has fallen early. "

"If we talk about taboos," the old Taoist priest pondered for a long time, and said, "For them, following their nature is following the will of heaven, and there are no taboos.

For us monks, try not to get directly involved.

Even if the devil comes to the world, there will be someone who can restrain him."

"Who restrains Xiu Ge?" Xiao Yu asked.

Lu Lingzi shook his head. "Maybe he is not destined to die. When he is destined to die, the person who can restrain him will appear in front of him."

Xiao Yu wanted to complain again, but this time she held back and only asked, "When I traveled abroad, I never heard of the devil star and the guardian god. Are they only found in southern China?"

Lu Lingzi shook his head and said, "At most, they look south to China more. As for the foreign vassal states, as long as their national fortune and dragon veins are strong enough, they can affect the 'number of days' if the country's operation is strong enough.

There will definitely be calamity energy that will give birth to the devil, and there will also be star gods who will arrange for the gods to protect the "destiny."

After chatting with Lu Lingzi for a while, Xiaoyu suddenly felt a sense of familiarity and intimacy.

He reminded her of the dog-meat Taoist priest.

Like the dog-meat Taoist priest, Lu Lingzi specializes in studying the innate Yi numbers, asking the gods to help him, and praying to the gods for help.

He was like an immortal dog-meat Taoist priest who helped her answer many common sense questions.

But they didn't stand outside the camp and whisper to each other.

Meng Yi has received the message and is waiting for her at the camp gate!

With Lu Lingzi's reminder, Xiao Yu downplayed the concepts of the Demon Star and the Demon King when describing the process of killing Xiu Ge, and only said that there was an evil ghost protecting Xiu Ge.

"This time we completely wiped out the Zuoguli King's tribe, and even Xiu Ge didn't escape. Fairy Feiyu has made a great contribution. Please accept my respect!"

Meng Yi left his seat and bowed deeply to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu stood up to stop him, saying, "General, you personally went to the battlefield and led the army to wipe out the Xiongnu. Isn't your contribution greater than mine?"

Meng Yi said: "The court will reward me for my contribution. The fairy is a fairy from the otherworldly world and does not accept official positions in the human world. This is the only way I can express my gratitude."

Xiao Yu wanted to say: I am not a hermit, you can report your merits to the court and ask Queen Mother Zhao to grant me a title, an official position, and a magical medicine. A big house and a lot of gold are also fine, I am not afraid of vulgarity.

But she thought again of her current identity as a "Kunlun Qi Refiner".

It seems that during the Conferred Gods period, the gods who came down the mountain to support Jiang Ziya did not ask for any reward.

Yang Jian, Nezha, Lei Zhenzi, and even the power-hungry Li Jing, immediately retired after the war against Shang, without accepting any official positions or enjoying any wealth and honor in the world.

For the immortal friends who have come to Yanmen Pass to support the Meng family army, it seems that there are no such things as "military merit points" or "military merit exchange list".

Everyone comes here to work for free out of a sense of justice or friendship.

——Alas, this is the price of pretending to be superior.

Xiaoyu felt regretful, but also a little proud: She is now a master too!

He has great ability and a high-class style of doing things.

"I appreciate the general's kindness, but I feel uncomfortable with such a generous gift.

Why don't you just order whatever you want? When we have a celebration party, just give me a glass of wine."

"Yes, yes, yes. Today we defeated the Huns and all the generals in the army were given several cups of fine wine. The fairy returned at night and missed the banquet. Meng Huo, bring some wine." Meng Yi shouted loudly.

After a while, Menghuo came in with a wine jar and a wine bowl.

Xiao Yu drank two bowls and felt satisfied, so he asked Meng Yi to remove the drinking utensils.

"When I was chasing Xu Ge tonight, I accidentally took a shortcut to the City of the Dead through the 'ghost road' left by the evil ghost. The general will never guess who I met in the City of the Dead."

Meng Yi thought for a moment, then exclaimed: "Did you see General Bai Qi?"

Now it was Xiaoyu's turn to exclaim, "How did the general guess it so quickly?"

Meng Yi said with a complicated expression: "I once heard from His Majesty the Emperor that General Bai fell into the City of Wrongful Death after his death.

I have kept this incident in mind ever since and it left a deep impression on me.

So when I heard you say that someone famous and influential had been seen in the City of the Dead, I immediately thought of him."

He and Fairy Feiyu had only known each other for a short time and they didn't have many common acquaintances.

Since she asked him to guess, it must be a well-known big shot.

"It turns out that His Majesty the Emperor already knew that General Bai was in the City of the Dead." Xiao Yu suddenly realized.

Meng Yi said: "Perhaps a Taoist master has seen General Bai in the underworld, or heard the news from ghosts and gods, and reported it to His Majesty the Emperor after returning to the world of the living.

His Majesty the Human Emperor originally planned to personally offer sacrifices to heaven and earth to liberate General Bai's soul, but was rejected by General Bai.

Moreover, before rejecting His Majesty the Human Emperor, General Bai had already rejected the Star Lord in the Sky. "
