Chapter 956: Meng Qi's Story, the Secret of the Conferred God
Chapter 956: Meng Qi's Story, the Secret of the Conferred God
Yang Li has lived for hundreds of years, but has never entered a "rage state" as quickly as he did today.
"Yu Fengxian, you only became an immortal by chance after eating the giant peaches, do you have the elixir?
You don’t even know how to adjust the Kan and fill the Li, and you’ve never even done anything to pump water or make a fire.
Water and fire complement each other, life and nature are intertwined, but you are still tens of thousands of miles away from them. Do you still dare to compare your realm with mine?
You are good for nothing except your magical powers."
"Don't worry about how I became an immortal. Now I am an immortal and you are a mortal cultivator. I am your senior!"
Xiao Yu gave him an extremely contemptuous expression, "You have practiced Taoism for hundreds of years. You don't even know the principle of 'Refine Qi without asking about the path, only the level of Taoism'.
If I can eat the giant peaches, doesn’t that mean I have great blessings?
Isn't immortal blessing the ability and realm of a cultivator?"
This is not wrong.
Immortal blessings do not appear out of thin air. They must be the accumulation of good deeds and spiritual practice in the previous life, or inherited from parents and ancestors.
If our ancestors can leave behind great blessings, it must be the result of their good deeds.
Therefore, immortal blessings are the realm of "virtuous practice".
As the saying goes, cultivate virtue externally and practice true qi internally, both internal and external cultivation are equally important.
"Your big peaches were stolen." Yang Li shouted.
Xiao Yu's eyes became more and more contemptuous. "When a Qi cultivator seizes the opportunity to become an immortal, can it be called stealing? This is called 'what God gives must be taken', and the chance to become an immortal must be fought for! If you don't even understand this, you are still cultivating immortality. I think you will be busy in vain in this life."
"Yu Fengxian, you're going too far!" Yang Li was so angry that sparks were coming out of his nostrils.
The true energy in the body was ignited by the angry thoughts.
"You are relying on your status as my 'colleague' to speak like this.
Change your identity and timing, and I will teach you what "going too far" means. "Xiao Yu said.
Yang Li choked and rolled his eyes.
"What are you doing?" Meng Qi walked out from the inner hall and asked in surprise.
There was still some fatigue on his face.
Yang Li said excitedly: "Master Meng, Yu Fengxian is behaving recklessly and is extremely rude.
She arrested General Li You's housekeeper Zhao for no reason. I tried to persuade her for her own good, but she insulted me with slang."
Xiao Yu shouted, "What a shameless and slutty Taoist boy! You are so shameless. You are a great Taoist master of the Maoshan Taoist sect, but you actually help the old slave of the rich and powerful to lick their ass crack.
I was trying to reason with you and urge you to respect yourself, but you slandered my village slang instead. "
"Nonsense, when did I ever try to curry favor with the powerful? You arrest people indiscriminately, and I advise you not to get into lawsuits. Isn't that for your own good?" Yang Li said angrily.
Xiaoyu looked around.
Originally, the Imperial Observatory was rather deserted.
There were only two warriors acting as gatekeepers in the front yard, and no one was inside the hall.
At this moment, the Heavenly Master and Taoist priests of the Imperial Observatory were all alarmed and stood aside to watch the show.
"You don't even know the reason, but you say I'm arresting people randomly. Isn't this obviously flattering the rich and powerful?
I also captured Bai Zizai, the cousin of General Bai Zhong. Why won’t you let me let him go?
You don't even know that I caught him, right? "
Yang Li's expression remained unchanged, still showing anger, and he said, "Of course I know the reason.
Wasn't it just that Mr. Hua was eating a cake on the roadside and said a few idle words, and you heard it and arrested him?"
"Haha, 'The death of Emperor Zulong means the fall of the Qin Dynasty' is also insignificant gossip?" Xiao Yu sneered.
Yang Li said: "What does the spread of this prophecy have to do with Mr. Hua?
Like everyone else, he was half asleep in the morning when a strange man disguised as a fox fairy pretended to call out outside the house, and he heard it.
Which prophecy in previous years was not spread like this? Why are you so excited? "
Xiao Yu sighed, "I am the emperor's employee and I should be loyal to him.
I am a foreign barbarian and a lowly cultivator, but I understand this principle.
You are a hermit of the divine world in China. You have been enjoying the emperor's salary for hundreds of years and have received great favors from the emperor. But now you have become so numb and mediocre.
No wonder the great Qin Dynasty was doomed to fall.”
"Am I wrong? What gives you the right to say that I am numb and mediocre?" Yang Li became excited again.
Xiao Yu looked at Meng Qi, who had been silent but had a troubled expression, and asked, "Do I need to explain to this guy?"
Meng Qi shook his head and said, "You don't have to explain to anyone unless the Queen Mother summons you for questioning."
After a pause, he looked around again and sighed, "Everyone knows the rules of the Imperial Observatory.
On weekdays, everyone does their own thing and handles their own personal affairs, and in the end they only have to be responsible to Your Majesty.
Only when they are jointly responsible for a major task, the person in charge of the task can question other colleagues about related matters. "
Xiao Yu said: "I went out for a stroll today and I was hungry so I prepared to have breakfast.
Suddenly I heard someone at the stall discussing a treasonous prophecy like "The death of Emperor Zulong will lead to the fall of the Qin Dynasty."
I am very proactive in helping the country, is there a problem with that? "
Meng Qi shook his head and said, "Not only is there no problem, you deserve praise for having such a heart."
Yang Li said with a wooden face: "I have no friendship with General Li You, and I have only met Chief Steward Zhao a few times. Why would I curry favor with them for no reason?"
Meng Qi shook his head again and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang Li, don't think too much. I know that you are one of the supervisors of the Imperial Observatory. It is your responsibility to receive Chief Manager Zhao and handle the matter properly."
After a pause, he continued: "However, prophecies are never trivial matters.
Not to mention a steward in the general's mansion, even if Li You came in person, he should be kept outside.
He shouldn't have come to the Imperial Observatory, let alone show off his power and authority to a great celestial master in the Imperial Observatory."
Yang Li still refused to accept, "But Mr. Hua is just an ordinary person, he is just--"
Meng Qi raised his hand to interrupt him and said in a deep voice: "Even if Mr. Hua is eventually proven to be innocent, and Master Yu suspects him and wants to arrest him for interrogation, so what?
If the Great Heavenly Master doesn't even have this little power, how dare he say 'harmony between yin and yang, control of the universe'?"
Yang Li fell silent.
Meng Qi waved to the people around him, "Everyone disperse! Master Yu, come with me."
After entering the inner hall, Meng Qi asked, "How did you feel after taking a walk around the streets of Xianyang?"
Xiao Yu sighed, "Xianyang is too prosperous. The Qin Dynasty must perish."
Meng Qi was surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"
Must die and will definitely die are two completely different concepts.
He would not be surprised if she said, "If Xianyang is prosperous and the rich and powerful are extravagant, the Qin Dynasty will surely perish."
Xiao Yu pondered and said, "Senior, do you think my behavior of catching a prostitute in the street is right?"
"The method is a bit extreme, but it makes sense."
Meng Qi sighed, "Don't blame Yang Li. After spending more time with him, you will understand that he is actually quite warm-hearted.
Advising you to release the person is definitely not an attempt to curry favor with Li You.
But I know you are new here and don’t know anything, so I want to prevent you from getting into trouble.”
"I don't blame him." Xiao Yu waved his hand and asked again: "Senior, do you know why I use extreme means?" "You are just like that. You are used to being a prime minister and even killed Huang Daxian. Do you really care about the dignity of the nobleman?
Yang Li thinks it's a big problem, but you don't care at all." Meng Qi said.
Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "According to my nature, not only will I not catch Hua Yuanwai, I will also join them, eat cakes while discussing prophecies, and watch the joke of Ying's Qin together.
I just can't do whatever I want.
Because I was conferred the title of Heavenly Master last night, the authority of Heavenly Master weighs heavily on my shoulders.
As a Heavenly Master, possessing the power bestowed by Heaven, one should fulfill the obligations of a Heavenly Master.
So is the Heavenly Master, and so is the human dynasty.
The Ying family of Qin was not the master of China, but only the helmsman of humanity in China.
The person at the helm enjoys God-given power and great blessings, but also has to perform greater functions.
What are the responsibilities of the helmsman of humanity?
Lead humanity to greater glory!
Xianyang is now too prosperous, and the helmsman is dazzled and unable to see or enjoy it all. He is indulged in the land of wealth and luxury, and his only ideal is to enjoy all the greatest pleasures in the world.
Ideal is the direction. If even the direction is lost, it is time to change the helmsman.
This is destiny.”
Meng Qi was stunned for a long time before he looked at her with complicated eyes and sighed, "You are indeed more qualified to be the Grand Master than I am."
Xiao Yu shook her head and said, "Being a great celestial master is so troublesome. If I really become a great celestial master, I'm worried that I will not be able to control myself and do something."
Meng Qi said tactfully: "You don't need to do anything extra for Xianyang, or even for Shenzhou China.
As long as you try your best to help the Ying royal family complete their migration to the west, you will be worthy of your status and authority."
Xiao Yu asked: "Senior, what do you think of the new prophecy?"
The sudden change of topic made Meng Qi stunned.
After a moment of stunned silence, he began to think about the deeper meaning of her words.
After a moment, he said, "Fairy Yu, do you feel that as the Grand Master, you have the responsibility to deal with the prophecy?"
Xiao Yu sighed, “Isn’t this kind of thing the duty of the Heavenly Masters?
I also know that the Qin Dynasty has lost its mandate from heaven and will perish sooner or later.
I still think that the Qin Dynasty deserves to perish.
As I said before, the helmsman has lost his way and it's time to replace him. This is destiny.
If I were not the Great Qin Heavenly Master, I would be content to watch the joke from the sidelines.
Once I hold the power of Heavenly Master, no matter what purpose I have in becoming the Heavenly Master of Qin, I will not be able to get over it if I just sit there doing nothing or even secretly doing evil. "
Meng Qi seemed to understand that Yu Fengxian refused the position of "Grand Master" not simply because she was worried about being implicated by the Ying family's Qin.
She has a clear understanding of herself, the current situation and the future situation.
With her responsibility, she couldn't tolerate herself doing nothing when she could do something.
But if you really do it, you will definitely get into countless troubles and consequences.
Therefore, it is better to refuse more power from the beginning and avoid taking on more responsibilities.
Meng Qi suddenly discovered that the "Yu Fengxian" in his mind was no longer a stereotyped label such as "stinking shit", "the destined one", or "dragon breeder".
She had a concrete and vivid image in his mind.
My recognition and liking for her also increased a lot, and I began to truly regard her as a fellow Taoist - a friend of the same generation without any distinction of superiority or inferiority.
"Fairy Yu, are you very eager to become a celestial being?"
Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and realized that there must be a hidden meaning behind his changing the subject.
She hesitated for a moment, but still said frankly: "I am eager but also doubtful."
"Oh, I'd like to hear the details." Meng Qi said.
Xiao Yu said: "I long for the great way of the Celestial Immortals because it is the only righteous way that can lead to the attainment of the Golden Immortal.
You can learn about the way for the Golden Immortal to merge with the Dao, and the result that he must obey the Way of Heaven after merging with the Dao.
I am a little confused and can't accept it.
I pursue the realm of Daluo Jinxian because it is strong enough and transcendent enough.
If after becoming a Daluo Jinxian, I cannot do whatever I want, wouldn't that be going in the opposite direction and leading to the salvation of the sutra?"
Meng Qi smiled and said, "It's because you don't have a master to teach you, so you have a big misunderstanding of the Heavenly Immortal Method, and even the True Immortal Method itself."
"Please give me some advice, senior." Xiaoyu got up from his chair and bowed to him.
Meng Qi raised his hand to signal her to sit back down, and said slowly: "The truth is actually very simple, immortal methods have strengths and weaknesses, and there is no high or low path. The one that suits you best is the best.
The five immortals of heaven, earth, man, ghosts and gods, once they have reached their limits, there is almost no big difference in their Taoism and strength.
Even the 'human immortals' are like this.
At this time, "human immortals" cannot even achieve immortality and seem to be the lowest level.
The word "ren" in "kerenxian" has defined "renxian" from the very beginning - renxian is still "ren".
Longevity is not the goal that "human immortals" should pursue.
Human immortals should accept the "happiness of only one lifetime", just like the Human Emperor should not dream of becoming a true immortal with eternal life.
You see, the human immortal method now is just like what we did back then. Ahem, I am too arrogant. "
He smiled awkwardly, "I am from the medieval Conferred God period, and there are only 300,000 years between you and me, so we can actually be considered to be from the same era.
Let’s take the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect as an example.
They practiced the "Heavenly Immortal Method" in ancient times, just as people today practice the Human Immortal Method.
The immortal techniques are not mature yet and are still in the initial stage.
During the Conferred Gods Battle, the Three Goddesses used the Nine Bends of the Yellow River Formation to cut off the three flowers on the tops of the twelve golden immortals.
In fact, it was the Dao Ancestor who did it on purpose, to help them rebuild their foundation so that it would be easier to practice the new and complete Golden Immortal Avenue.
Over the past tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, they have always been Golden Immortals, with little improvement in their cultivation and realm.
But after being deified, in just three hundred thousand years, almost all of them achieved the state of Daluo.
There is no other reason, just changed to a more complete and mature celestial immortal method.
Of course, there are also some ancient Golden Immortals who, after practicing a new and complete Golden Immortal Method, found that they were not compatible with it, so they gave up Taoism and followed Buddhism to go to Lingshan. "
Xiao Yu was surprised and said, "So there are such secrets in the ancient battle of the gods."
“Alas, the great calamity of the Conferred Gods is only a calamity for ordinary immortals, but for the Taoist Ancestor it is an opportunity to reshuffle and open up a new situation.” Meng Qi sighed.
"What's going on with Master Tongtian? He seems to have lost completely." Xiaoyu asked curiously.
Meng Qi shook his head and said, "Lingbao Tianzun did not lose. At least not as tragically as outsiders think.
When Daozu plays chess, there is always a winner and a loser.
Lingbao Tianzun only lost one move in chess.
From the final overall situation, the three Taoist ancestors are all winners and have achieved their core demands.
At most, Lingbao Tianzun won less than the other two Daozu. We should not talk about Daozu's affairs in private. If they hear it and still think about it, we will be in trouble. "
