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

Chapter 958 Annoyed Xiaoyu

Xiao Yu asked: "Senior, can you explain in more detail how to cultivate calamity and how to attain the void?"

"It's very simple. Experience and control the catastrophe. Do you understand why there is a catastrophe of heaven and earth, and what is the significance of the catastrophe of heaven and earth to all living beings in the three realms?"

Meng Qi pulled out a book from the table, with "Spring and Autumn Annals" written on the cover. "Those who are remembered by history will live forever in history books and gain strength from future generations who read and understand history.

The great catastrophe of heaven and earth is like the annual rings of a big tree, eternally engraved in the "heart of the sky" of Pangu's world.

If time is taken apart as a book, the universe is composed of a series of great catastrophes in heaven and earth.

If you dominate the great catastrophe, you will dominate the great chaos.

What a great power this is?
Isn't it more powerful to cultivate with this kind of power than to cultivate the 'minor path' of regulating dragons and tigers and cultivating the nature and life?"

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and murmured, “If he could really cultivate the calamity, it would be really amazing.

But a great catastrophe of heaven and earth could take the life of a Golden Immortal.

I have personally experienced every catastrophe and tried to lead it. How many times can I survive it?"

Meng Qi sighed and said, "Probably not even once can survive. Even powerful people like the ancient golden immortals, or even the Daluo who have already achieved the Dao, are all terrified of the great calamity at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

Those who knew the current situation retreated into their caves, closed their doors tightly, and recited the Huangting Sutra quietly, without being contaminated by the slightest bit of calamity.

It’s not that I don’t want to, but I really don’t dare, for fear that my whole life will be ruined.”

Xiao Yu's mouth twitched, "Then what did the senior say about the cultivation of calamity?"

"Alas, they don't dare, but you do! You are the destined person for this great catastrophe of heaven and earth. You have a destiny and are destined to experience the catastrophe.

Since you are destined to experience the calamity and cannot escape it, and you are protected by destiny and cannot die easily, if you don't seize the opportunity to have fun... ahem, cultivate the calamity, wouldn't you be wasting a golden opportunity?" Meng Qi said.

——You bastard, after all the talk, you are still trying to trick me into filling the hole for you.

Xiao Yu asked with a wooden face: "Senior, do you have any secret method to cultivate the calamity?"

“No need for any secret method, just go through the tribulation directly.” Meng Qi said.

Xiao Yu shouted, "Is there any secret technique in this world?"

Meng Qi thought about it and said in deep thought, "Cultivating calamities does not mean abandoning other things and just going through calamities. For example, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Golden Immortals and Mysterious Immortals, as long as they have cultivated superior internal skills, they should be able to benefit from practicing calamities for many years."

"Should? Senior, I'm so pitiful that I don't even have a single celestial magic. How can you bear to fool me?" Xiao Yu said speechlessly.

Meng Qi said mysteriously: "I really didn't fool you. I have also cultivated tribulations myself."

Xiao Yu asked curiously, "How did you repair it?"

"Three hundred thousand years ago, during the Conferred God War, when King Wen was ascending the altar to offer sacrifices to the heavens, I touched his heel," said Meng Qi.

Xiao Yu looked puzzled, "Why are you touching King Wen's heel? What kind of a calamity is this?"

Meng Qi said: "I heard that King Wen had a strange phenomenon when he was born. His heels were hard and could not bend. They had scaly patterns on them, just like the feet of a unicorn.

I am curious, just like when Chong'er's ribs were connected into one piece, it was very strange and many people wanted to touch it.

At that time, I was only a teenager, standing below the altar, and saw King Wen climb the stairs and walk past me. For some reason, I reached out and touched him.

Just think about it, what would happen if a teenage attendant reached out and touched the king's heel during the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, under the watchful eyes of civil officials and military generals such as Jiang Taigong? "

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Senior was so naughty and mean when he was young, but he is still alive today, thanks to the kindness of King Wen."

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Meng would have been dragged out and hacked to death.

Although he only touched King Wen's feet, it was a fatal calamity.

Meng Qi shook his head and said, "King Wen preached the way of benevolence, and he himself was not a bad person, but he could not be called very kind.

The punishments in the Western Zhou Dynasty under his rule were as harsh as those in the Qin Dynasty under Qin Shi Huang.

At least Ying Zheng didn't use magic to find the suspect.

King Wen often used the Eight Trigrams to find people who had escaped from punishment, and he spared no one.

It was Jiang Taigong who saw that there was a light on my forehead and that I had immortal bones in my body, and he felt pity for my talent, so he persuaded King Wen to release me and allow me to atone for my sins.

Just for that one touch, I later served the Great Zhou for 30,000 years!"

Xiao Yu asked curiously, "You experienced that great catastrophe of life and death, did you achieve the state of entering the void?"

"Realizing the Void is the highest realm, how can it be achieved in one go?" Meng Qi shook his head and said, "For many years, I didn't realize what benefit I gained from that experience.

It was not until eighty years later that I followed my master to Daluo Heaven to listen to the Taoist master’s teachings.

When Daozu saw me, he smiled and asked, "Is it Meng Qi who touched King Wen's heel?"

Meng Qi's face was filled with excitement. "Guess what? After returning, my Qi refining speed has increased by 30%!"

Xiao Yu asked in confusion: "What is the principle behind this? If the senior touches King Wen's heel, his cultivation will be accelerated.

Wouldn't it be more beneficial for others to become famous in the Conferred God War?"

Meng Qi shook his head and said, "Master said that I have 'a mark left in the heart of heaven, and there will be blessings after the disaster', so I am lucky.

Others may have experienced more grand scenes, but they may not have left any traces in their hearts.

Moreover, if one is not a cultivator and directly reincarnates or is deified after death, even if a trace of Heaven's Heart is left, he or she will only survive in the memory of the world in another way and cannot directly gain benefits like a cultivator.

In fact, the little bit of benefit I have is not a benefit at all.

To truly practice for many lifetimes is to attain the Samadhi of Emptiness, which definitely requires the cultivation of special Dafa.

Instead of leaving traces in the heart of heaven as fate dictates.

My situation is more like that of a mortal who had the good fortune to enter the immortal's paradise and accidentally ate a magical fruit that was precious to mortals but ordinary to immortals.

Alas, the celestial magic is rare in the world.

The secret book of practicing for many lifetimes is the most superior, and it must be a secret that will never be passed on, spoken or revealed.

The master and his apprentice, father and son must strictly observe the secrets to avoid conflicts between father and son, or between master and apprentice.

I don't have the ability to teach you the Dafa, nor do I want to persuade you to take the path of 'realizing the void and chaos'.

The reason why you have become the "stinking dog shit" that cannot be touched is because you are the person of destiny in this great catastrophe of heaven and earth.

Instead of escaping, it is better to be brave and diligent, actively choose the way to experience the catastrophe, create the most favorable result for yourself, and leave the deepest and broadest mark in this catastrophe.

Perhaps, with your extraordinary talent, you can embark on the path of cultivation for many lifetimes?

Anyway, you are not suitable for the path of celestial immortals, and you look down on earthly immortals and gods.

The essence of spiritual practice is to have the courage to explore various paths and find the one that suits you best.

Even if you want to become an immortal, you still have to find a way in the end.

All dharmas have different starting points, but their end points are almost the same.

They are all beyond the five elements, out of the cycle of reincarnation, immortal, indestructible, and invulnerable to all calamities. "

Xiao Yu said helplessly: "After listening to what you said, I am even more confused about the path of Taoism."

"What is there to be confused about? I am advising you to give up your obsession with the path to immortality, focus on the opportunities that can be seized right now, and don't miss this God-given opportunity." Meng Qi said.

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "If we want to go deeper into the great calamity, why don't I follow the example of Tai Gong in Conferred Gods and directly assist the real dragon? Why should I learn from the unlucky Jiejiao immortals like Wen Zhong?"

Meng Qi said unhappily, "Everyone wants to assist the True Dragon, but do you know who the True Dragon is?" As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and his face looked strange, and he asked softly, "Do you know something?"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "We don't know who the real dragon is now. Can't we wait for the real dragon to appear in a few years and then join him?"

Meng Qi hesitated for a moment, then said calmly, "Fairy Yu, to be honest, I will wait for you to replace me as the Grand Master of Qin. I will immediately go to Shenzhou to look for latent dragons and true dragons to join."

Xiao Yu was shocked and asked, "You are the Grand Master of the Great Qin, but you are going to be the first to surrender to the enemy?"

——Damn it, you surrendered to the enemy and left me in Qin to fill the hole. It's so disloyal and shameless.

"When you replace me, I will no longer be the Grand Master of the Qin Empire. I am not surrendering to the enemy, I am only trying to save the world from disaster."

Meng Qi said helplessly: “I have assisted the Queen Mother in the regent for ten years, and I have been stained with great karma and a large amount of calamity.

If you don't surrender to the real dragon and cleanse your body, you will probably die a miserable death in the future.

But fairy, you are different from me. I was deeply involved in the changes in China and even tried to defy the will of heaven and change my fate, which is why I have calamity and karma.

Fairy Yu helped the old Qin people who were willing to leave and migrate westward to foreign countries. This was only a great merit, without any calamity.

Of course, Fairy Yu needs to control her temper, focus on the westward migration, and not worry about the mess in the Qin court."

——Then I might as well go back to Sishui County to find Liu Laosan and become a "Jiang Taigong". Oh, that's not right. Liu Laosan is practicing her "Laotou Music". Even Lu Zhi is her registered disciple. The heroes of Pei County are also nominally her disciples. She is already a "super imperial teacher" and will definitely leave a deep and indelible mark in the Qin and Han catastrophe.

There is absolutely no need to fight and kill anymore.

She could retire immediately, return to her hometown and live out her days in peace, waiting for the harvest season to arrive. However, now that she has become the Heavenly Master of the Qin Empire, can she get a double "pension"?
Xiao Yu had a strange expression on his face and said, "Even if I'm not the Grand Master, as long as the Ying family cooperates, I will do my best to lead them to migrate west. Senior, you don't have to be obsessed with the position of 'Grand Master'."

Anyway, the more Meng Qi persuaded her and the more secrets he revealed, the less willing she was to fill in the gaps for him.

His eloquent words had the opposite effect.

Meng Qi's eyes flashed, and he said, "I originally planned to let you rest for two days to get familiar with life in Xianyang and understand the environment of the court.

But since you have come to the Imperial Observatory, I have to assign you a position first."

——It seems that the vain “cultivation over many lifetimes” cannot impress this cunning guy.

I have to show off my "Great Qin heritage" to shock her!

Well, after all, these are the heritage of the Great Qin Dynasty and the relics of the Human Emperor. They are not the private property of Master Meng. They must be returned to the "Grand Master of the Great Qin Dynasty" for management.

Xiao Yu touched his sleeves and said, "I have captured Mr. Hua and Mr. Zhao, and I am busy investigating the 'prophecy case'!"

"The prophecy is actually not a big deal." Meng Qi pondered and said, "The Qin Zulong has indeed collapsed, and the prophecy is true.

The Qin court should be grateful to the people behind the scenes for considering the overall situation, as the news was kept secret until today and spread among the people.

Besides, investigating prophecies is a job, not a position."

Xiao Yu was surprised and asked, "Senior, do you know who is spreading the prophecy? Or are you familiar with the other party? Are they friends?"

——After you step down from the position of Heavenly Master of the Great Qin, do you still want to join them and "progress" together with those Great Qin traitors?
The Qin Dynasty is indeed no longer viable.

Even the Grand Master of the dynasty was "Emei Peak".

Meng Qi shook his head and said, “I don’t know the person who spread the prophecy.

Most likely, they were a group of strange people who used the tricks of ghosts and foxes to spread messages in dreams on a large scale before dawn.

This is how the ancient prophecies were spread.

Dreams leave no trace, so they are difficult to stop and even more difficult to investigate.

They are all masters in this field.

However, some of my friends do have plans to join the robbery and support the Dragon Court.

It is human nature to earn some good fortune for spiritual practice.

Earlier, in order to deal with the days when the Hu people were corrupting the northern border of China, I visited them one by one and asked them to consider the overall situation.

They agreed, and for the past ten years they have not descended to the underworld or entered the human world.

The sudden outbreak now definitely wasn't caused by them personally.

They are still waiting for the opportunity in the cave.

Moreover, they themselves are people of high moral character and great ability, and are incapable of doing such evil tricks.

Most likely, some "rebels" who wanted to compete for the throne got anxious and provoked.

Last night, as soon as you became the Heavenly Master of the Great Qin, you began to gather the dragon energy for the dead Ancestral Dragon.

Even if I can't help Daqin change its destiny, at least I can stabilize its fortune for a few years.

How can they bear this?

So they spread rumors about the earthquake in the Qinling Mountains, turning a good omen into a bad omen.

But what they said was the truth, the Great Qin Dragon Vein had indeed collapsed."

Xiao Yu asked, "If I hadn't interfered, how would the Grand Master have handled this matter?"

Meng Qi was a little embarrassed, "I didn't intend to deal with it."

——Could this old man really be “Mount Emei”?
Xiao Yu asked again: "Spreading prophecies and disturbing the people's hearts, should it be supervised by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau?"

Meng Qi nodded and said, "It is indeed the task of the Imperial Observatory. However, there are different levels of importance and different levels of wisdom and stupidity.

I was stupid and slow, and I didn’t react for a while.

Now I know how powerful it is, but I don’t know how to solve the problem.

The Queen Mother also ordered me to help her repair the mausoleum.

There was an earthquake last night, and the Empress Dowager's Mausoleum built near the Qinling Mountains cracked and broke down.

This is a bad omen, and she is anxious and panicked. "

Xiao Yu sighed, "How could such a great country as the Celestial Empire become so rotten? Heaven will not tolerate this unless the Qin Dynasty is destroyed."

Meng Qi felt uncomfortable.

He admitted that the Qin Dynasty was in a critical condition, but he himself did not give up and was at most a bit passive and lazy.

But from what she said, Daqin is rotten because there are too many rotten people like him?
"Fairy Yu, you deal with the prophecy first. Well, you are the Grand Heavenly Master and you are fully responsible for this case.

If necessary, the Imperial Observatory and all government offices will cooperate.

When the case is over, I will take you to the Human Emperor's guard room and arrange a position for you."

——I would like to see how far you can go when faced with prophecies that explain facts.

"Senior, are you going to take me to the guard room now?" Xiaoyu was stunned and regretted it.

——If you want to arrange for me to be in charge of the guard room, you should have told me earlier!

Compared with the countless "Secrets of the Three Realms" and "Treasures of the Human Emperor" stored in the storage room, what does a mere prophecy count for?
Isn't it just disturbing the people's hearts, disrupting the government, shaking the country's foundation, and accelerating the demise of the Qin Dynasty?

What Lao Meng said about "Emei Peak" is right, things have their priorities.

There’s really no need to rush for such a small matter!
