Take yourself to the altar

Chapter 36 [036] Plan incense, Xuanji gives advice

Emperor Dagan revoked the ban on ancestors, and 60 years ago, the "Wutong Shenjiao" developed and flourished in the south, almost to the point where no one knew it, and no one refused to worship it. Even Taoism and Buddhism paled in comparison.

Let me ask, how could there be an immortal Buddha living in the nine heavens, so how could such an evil god be allowed to wantonly spread teachings in the world?

What's even more ironic is that the final collapse of the "Wutong God Sect" was not because of the fairness of a certain immortal Buddha to eliminate evil and restore the righteousness, but because of the personal enmity caused by the "Wutong God" who offended the gods!

Feng Yu frowned, thinking about how all this would affect him.

Taoist Priest Xuanji was not in a hurry to speak, and with a thought, the jug on the table flew over, and he poured wine into the glass in front of him by tilting the jug.Then he picked up the wine glass and took a sip slowly.By this time, the two of them had already accepted the secret of Taoist Xuanji's words in their hearts.

Hongming spoke first: "Brother Dao, according to your words, today's drastic changes and the seclusion of immortals and Buddhas means that the original indestructible pattern is broken, and it is also possible to gather incense and vows by developing mortal believers, so that there will be no evil spirits." Restricting the grabbing of upper realm authority?"

"If that's the case," Feng Yu said, "the intention of the 'Wutongshen' planning in Yudu Mansion will be clear. They are one of them, but there are still many powers hiding in the dark coveting Kongluo, the source of disaster!"

Taoist Xuanji put down his wine glass, eyes filled with deep expression: "The stagnant water is broken, and it is destined to stir up countless waves! Before that, the old Taoist could not see the hope of calming down the chaos. Now that he knows that the true king exists, he finally sees a thread in the mist. way forward."

Feng Yu didn't expect it to be so far-reaching.Now that Daoist Xuanji said this, he suddenly felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and the pressure was like a mountain, and said in a deep voice: "Daoist, just pin all your hopes on me—cough, the 'Dayan Zhenjun' whom I respect , will it be too desperate?"

Seeing the dubious gazes of the two people, Feng Yu also realized that the words just now were not like the position that a person with a godly family should hold. , saying 'Heaven and earth are not benevolent and regard all things as straw dogs', what if the other party has no intention of ending the chaos in the world?"

He originally wanted to say "no". After all, the two of them could see through his abilities at a glance. Feng Yu was unavoidably apprehensive if he wanted to end the chaos under the upheaval of the world.But he couldn't tell the truth, so he had to change "can't" to "will not".

After all, the immortal gods ignore the mortal world, and the "Wutong Shenjiao" disaster has been fixed before, so Feng Yu's words are not false.

I thought that Xuanji and Hongming would be worried and uneasy when they said this.Unexpectedly, after the two looked at each other, they laughed tacitly, heartily and freely.

Feng Yu was stunned, not knowing why his words were so funny.

Daoist Xuanji stroked his long beard, and explained to him: "The old Taoist thought that fellow daoists were chosen by the true emperor, and they would protect everything. I never thought that fellow daoists still cared about the mortal creatures in the world. It can be seen that fellow daoists are simple and kind-hearted. , is a decent person."

"Just imagine, the real king lives in the nine heavens, and there are billions of mortal beings. He doesn't choose others but his friends as gods, and entrusts him with missions related to his own rise and fall. It can be seen that the real king treats you very highly. The real king favors simple and kind people, Since the real monarch's nature is revealed from the side, even if he is a 'killing star', he will never let the turmoil in the world continue."

"Especially the true king was born in response to the disaster, and he is destined to be unable to avoid this disaster, so he will never stand by indifferently. But—" Taoist Xuanji paused for a moment, "The old Taoist is willing to choose to take on the mission of the true king. The reason is that besides this, the old Taoist really cannot see from anyone else the hope that he can quell the chaos in the world within a hundred years! If you don't enter the court of God, no matter how hard you try to fight, it will only prolong the chaos in the chaotic world!"

Feng Yu was silent.

He understood the meaning of Taoist Xuanji's words.

Regardless of righteous giants, demons, monsters, or even ghosts, no matter how strong the power of gathering incense and vows, if they cannot ascend to the court of God, they will not be able to touch the true authority of heaven.And every day they delay, the turmoil and disputes in the world will continue for one more day, which is definitely not the wish of Taoist Xuanji.

"The twelve immortal sects of the three sects of Taoism all have close contacts with Laoshan Mountain. The Buddhist sects have their own worship and don't care about him. Only the other sects other than Laoshan Mountain, the old Taoists are willing to believe in the message of the existence of the 'Dayan Zhenjun' .Even if there is an immortal sect who does not change the enshrining, the name of the true emperor can be spread and known to the monks all over the world."

Taoist Xuanji acted resolutely, and made suggestions after making a decision, "However, cultivators occupy a very small number of mortal beings after all. If you want to be famous for thousands of miles and have a prosperous incense, you must obtain the recognition and worship of the mortal people. Among them, if you can To make the True Monarch recognized by the Human Emperor will do more with less!"

Feng Yu listened carefully, and secretly nodded in agreement.

As Taoist Priest Xuanji said, apart from the three sects of Taoism and the Twelve Immortal Sects, Feng Yu has thought carefully about how to spread beliefs in the mundane world and even obtain the approval of the Daqian court.It's just that his strength was low before, and he could only think of many ways, so he chose to accumulate fame step by step.

Now that he goes out for a trip, he has inheritance, backing and allies, and most importantly, his own strength has also greatly improved. Many things that were originally expected can indeed be put on the agenda.

If you want to benefit, you have to get out of the comfortable Taoist temple.

"However," after Taoist Xuanji finished speaking, he suddenly changed the subject, "Emperor Daqian's approval may be difficult to achieve. Because the current emperor of Daqian is a person who believes in Buddhism, and he usually values ​​monks. Ordinary Taoism has been suppressed quite a lot in the past year. I am afraid that the origin of the 'Dayan Zhenjun' Xuanmen will not convince him!"

Feng Yu asked in surprise, "Emperor Dagan pays homage to the Buddha?"

Hongming looked at him strangely, and asked, "You don't know?"

Feng Yu was suddenly embarrassed. He was lucky enough to break free from the consciousness fusion of the real body of the soul. Since his weak body woke up, he has been living in the Qingfeng Temple to save people and accumulate fame. Where did he know about this?
"I only heard that the current emperor of Dagan is incompetent, licentious and immoral. Whether it is an ordinary poor man or a clan gentry, most of them are secretly complaining. I have never heard of the others."

"Well," Hong Ming nodded understandingly, "compared to stupidity, his belief in Buddhism is really inconspicuous."

Feng Yu was speechless for a moment, even Hong Ming, an outsider, recognized it so deeply, how deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is the incompetence of today's "Zhizheng Emperor"!
Then he fell into deep thought again—if he lost the support of the Supreme Emperor, where should he start?Or should you not give up lightly, and seriously plan to compete with the Buddhist sect that is gaining power?
In this world, the relationship between Taoism and Buddhism is quite complicated.The two are guarding, competing, and ignoring, but also interdependent, cooperating, and even silently assimilating.The truly incompatible hatred and struggle between the two factions of Buddhism and Taoism has ended since the ancient war of gods.

Feng Yu wanted to fight, but under the emperor's preconceptions, the possibility of failure was the greatest.

Only Tao Xuanji said again: "I heard that the emperor has eleven sons, and only three can inherit the great rule. The prince Yanming is stingy and arrogant, and he likes extravagance. Arranging troops and controlling the Dagan Northern Frontier Army, its power is not small; the seventh son, King Hui, is the most virtuous, praised by both inside and outside the court, and has the most supporters. If the crown prince is unable to succeed after the emperor's reign, Then King Hui has the highest possibility of inheriting the Great Reign!"

Xuanji's gaze fell on Feng Yu: "So, if Fellow Daoist Feng has no way to do it, you might as well go to the capital to visit King Hui."

Feng Yu immediately understood that if he couldn't win over the Zhizheng Emperor, should he just focus on the future?It is also a way.

Hongming showed a surprised expression, and asked, "Why is Daoist brother so well informed about the royal family's news?" It is difficult for people like them to recluse and practice Taoism.They can even remember the powerful monsters as far as Longmen in the north and Qiongzhou in the south, but they can't remember who the current emperor is.

With such a general trend, with Taoist Xuanji's prominent status in the Taoist sect, Hongming was naturally surprised that he knew so much about the current situation.

Taoist Xuanji laughed, and said, "It's also a coincidence, the old Taoist happened to go to the capital recently."

Hongming showed a surprised expression, but he thought Taoist Xuanji had his own secrets, so he didn't ask.It was Taoist Xuanji who said it himself: "Since you left from Laoshan that day, the old Taoist thought that the drastic changes in the world would also cause turmoil in the world, so he went to the capital. Looking at the luck of the Dagan Qi, I found that although the Qi of the Daqian Dragon is bloated and miscellaneous, showing signs of twilight, it has not shown signs of the end of the dynasty, and it can probably be passed on for another two or three dynasties, lasting for six to seventy years."

"The old Taoist was curious, so he went to the capital for a while, so he found out a lot of news that he didn't know normally."

That's it!

Feng Yu was stunned, then calmed down, and thanked Priest Xuanji for his guidance.

Then the three talked for a while, Taoist Xuanji sent the two back to the main peak first, and arranged for the two to rest.He returned to Feihe Temple by himself, and still came out from the "Moon Palace".The three of them drank "practice wine" for a while, and discussed many things, but in the eyes of the disciples outside, it was only a short while ago, and the aroma of wine was still strong in everyone's mouth.

As soon as Daoist Xuanji appeared, everyone hurriedly saluted.

When I looked up, I saw the bright moon on the wall dimmed, and the original appearance of the white paper appeared again.The sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, it was Chongde who came holding the lamp, the soft light illuminated the hall, the white paper completely lost its light, and Taoist Xuanji put it in his sleeve casually.

Taoist Xuanji looked around at the crowd, stroked his beard and said, "How about the banquet tonight?"

Everyone said in unison: "Very beautiful, very satisfying."

Taoist Xuanji smiled and said: "Since you are all satisfied, let's go back and rest, don't delay tomorrow's firewood gathering." Everyone bowed again and left one after another in whispers.Xuanji paid attention to the reaction of the young Wang Sheng in the crowd, and his eyes fell into his eyes.

This son should be a jade in the rough, I only hope that he can understand the true heart of Taoism, and not regard him as a qualification for a brilliant joke.

Get up, Chongde sees you off, Taoist Xuanji walks away with his hands behind his back.

The next day.

Mu Tianying set down the altar nervously, and seeing Feng Yu lit a prayer casually, her heart became more and more uncertain.

Ridiculous, is there such an absurd thing in the world as asking for shortcuts from gods?Alas, I don't know how Master believed in this person, and I was blinded by my eagerness for quick success, otherwise, how could I follow him to do such absurd things that are almost blasphemy?if--

Hey, hey——? !

Mu Tianying's spirit froze suddenly, and she looked at her hands in disbelief. The power in the meridians made up for the lack of self-cultivation after the death of the immortal Buddha, and the originally blocked road became open again!
Turning her head to look, she was facing Feng Yu's mysterious smile, and Mu Tianying's heart was agitated!
He really deserves to be a man of destiny who bears the "God's Fate"!Sure enough, my own knowledge is too superficial, how can it compare to Master's foresight?If it wasn't for the master's insistence on asking, wouldn't he have missed this opportunity?

"Hahahaha~!" Mu Tianying leaped up and drew the fairy sword behind her back. Immediately, the scene was full of light, and the sword aura was like weaving, which caused the other disciples who watched the ceremony to be shocked, and they all shouted: "I'm back, the familiar Senior Brother Mu is back !"
