That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 665 Talking about visitors from outside the Dao of Heaven

For decades, there has been a question hanging over the heads of many monks in the world. Why did Emperor Xiao die suddenly at the age of sixty? Even the well-deserved No. 1 in the world, even the Daoist Tianchen, who has already ascended, dare not compete with him. Because of this, a large number of monks began to enter the temple, making the Daqi court reach an unprecedented peak state. In terms of the number of immortal monks, it is almost no less than that of the Taoist sect known as "Earth Immortals Like Clouds".

No matter how you look at it, the Emperor Xiao at that time wanted to carry on the past and forge ahead into the future, to achieve a feat that no one before him could accomplish, and to create a century of peace. Some people even boldly stated that His Royal Highness Xiao Xuan might have to wait until he was a hundred years old before he could ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Or simply be the crown prince for the rest of his life, but no one thought that Emperor Xiao would follow the old path of Emperor Zulong after all, and died suddenly at the age of his heyday, making Xiao Xuan enthroned at the age of [-] and became Daqi. second emperor.

This change caught the vast majority of people by surprise, and they all speculated about the cause of Xiao Huang's death, so various theories spread, among which the two most credible ones were "deceived death" and "death by heaven". They all lead to the same goal by different routes, because the laws of heaven cannot tolerate a hundred-year-old emperor, and the Emperor Xiao at that time was already No. "Death" is also based on this, Xiao Huang feigned death not to hide it from the world, but to hide it from heaven.

In short, there are different opinions, but there is one thing that no one denies, that the Xiao Huang back then could indeed prove the realm of longevity.So now that Xiao Yu stood in front of Xu Beiyou and said that he once had a chance to live forever, Xu Beiyou didn't doubt it at all.

Xu Beiyou was very curious why Emperor Xiao would give up the opportunity he had already obtained, and couldn't help asking: "May I ask why Your Majesty didn't live forever?"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly, "Because of greed."

"Greedy?" Xu Beiyou was startled for a moment, then suddenly said: "Does Your Majesty want to hold Changsheng and the throne in his hands?"

Xiao Yu nodded and said: "Almost, at that time, I was in control of the world, and I felt omnipotent, so I wanted to try the feat that the first emperor of Zulong failed to accomplish. I went against the sky, but it is a pity that no one can win My God, I still failed in the end, but luckily I left a way out for myself in advance, which is this Ming Tomb, so I was able to survive until now."

Xu Beiyou didn't know what to say.

Xiao Yu sighed, "It is said that man will conquer the sky, but in fact it is thousands of people who conquer the sky, not just one person, so my defeat is also reasonable. During these years in the Mingling Mausoleum, I have been sleeping and waking up from time to time. , I want to understand a lot of truths, before Jiazi there were visitors from outside the territory, which disrupted the principles of heaven and broke many things that should be taken for granted. The divine will in the dark naturally wanted to make things right, so I, who should have died in the grassland, became the person whose destiny belonged , This is how the subsequent sweep of the world with the general momentum, suppressing foreign visitors."

Xu Beiyou questioned: "The foreigner is Wei Wang Xiaojin?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Our Xiao family has always been a single lineage, why did it become two people in my generation? It is not without reason."

Xu Beiyou asked in shock: "Then what do you mean by a foreigner?"

Xiao Yu said: "To put it bluntly, there are people who should not exist in this world. People who have ascended are called immortals and Buddhas, which are no longer allowed in our world. If they want to come back, they have to temporarily abandon their bodies of immortals and Buddhas, and use their souls to descend for a short time. In the world, the so-called foreign guests are roughly equivalent to the gods and Buddhas coming to the world, but compared to the gods and Buddhas coming to the world, they can survive for a longer time and have a greater impact on the world."

Xu Beiyou asked again: "How do you say that?"

Xiao Yu patiently explained: "There is a saying that mortals are afraid of consequences, and bodhisattvas are afraid of causes. Although the immortals and Buddhas in the sky have great powers, they are most afraid of the word cause and effect. Once the cause and effect are too heavy, not only will it be difficult to return to the sky, but they will also fall. But foreign visitors are different, they are like a piece of white paper, without any concerns, and without cause and effect, in other words, they can do whatever they want here, which is not tolerated by the law of heaven. I helped the law of heaven to suppress the foreign visitors , so I have a pretty decent love, even if I miss an opportunity, Heavenly Dao still leaves me with a glimmer of hope."

Xiao Yu said to himself: "The way of heaven is ruthless and has its own rules. According to the rules of the way of heaven, no matter whether it is peace in the world or people living in misery, everything has its definite destiny. If Xiao Jin breaks this rule, the way of heaven will not agree. This is the general trend. The heaven and the earth have the same power, and the hero is not free, so I, the person who carries the general trend, can be invincible, Xiao Jin can only temporarily submit to me."

Xiao Yu said with emotion: "Da Zheng's energy is exhausted, dynasties have changed, and Da Qi replaced Da Zheng. This is a pattern approved by heaven, but if Da Qi annexes the grassland and later builds, and expeditions to Baozhu and the Western Regions, it will become an unprecedented heyday in history books." Dynasty, this is against the original intention of the way of heaven, so Xiao Jin can't be the emperor, he can only shrink to a corner with Wei Guo, and I can only govern the world, changing Huanglong, which is full of ambitions, into Taiping, and finally sit in the world for 30 years After that, give up the throne and pass it on from generation to generation, there has never been a century-old emperor in the world, and there has never been a 300-year dynasty, and the final Daqi will collapse like the previous dynasties and become a stroke in the history books."

Xiao Yu laughed at himself, "If you only compare it from the matter of being the emperor, I may not be much better than Xiao Jin. According to the original general trend of the world, I am indeed not the last person to sit on the throne, but this is like In the temple and officialdom, those who can achieve the position of one person under one person and above ten thousand people are not necessarily the talents of economics and economics, or how to say that the emperor chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose the emperor. The heaven and the earth are also regarded as a temple, so the divine will is the emperor, and the earthly emperor is the chief assistant who is under one person and above ten thousand people, and finally the way of heaven still chooses me to be the emperor."

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "I understand these truths, and Xiao Jin also understands the choice to compromise, but he is not upset about it, and still wants to give it a go. Gao, this is not the spirit that everyone can have, I also had it in the early years, but it is gone now, I just want to arrange the things behind me, and then seize the last chance."

Xu Beiyou finally asked, "Is this the will of God, or is it the plan of the gods in the sky?"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said: "Except for the three patriarchs of the same religion, the Taoist, the Buddha, and the Holy One, other immortals, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and saints do not have this ability. It can only be said that it is God's will. My life can be divided into two parts. The first half is that the heaven and the earth have the same force, invincible and invincible, and the second half is transported to the heroes who are not free, sitting in a sad city, helpless, they all say that if the sky has love, the sky is also old, and I help the heaven to suppress foreign visitors. Just one less time, and now there are very few left, if I still fail to seize the opportunity this time, I will be a complete stranger to the Heavenly Dao, and even become the enemy of the Heavenly Dao, and be doomed."

Xu Beiyou couldn't help asking: "How does Your Majesty ascend to attain longevity?"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly, and said inscrutably, "We still have to wait for an opportunity."
