How can I allow you and others to get involved in my old lady's Tang Dynasty?

Chapter 237 When the situation is poor

When Li Jie woke up, he found that there was a shiny head in front of him, like a shelled egg, and the sunlight reflected on it was a bit dazzling.

"My junior brother's son is awake."

Li Jie concentrated his attention and realized that the braised egg in front of him was Li Shenhou.

At this moment, Li Shenhou looked like he had no beard, eyebrows or hair at all, and his originally powerful and rough face now looked extremely funny.

"Father, your hair?" Li Jie asked, suppressing a smile, but not making it funny.

Li Shenhou chuckled and said, "Tianpu gave your father and I a haircut. It's okay. Master said it will grow out in the future."

Li Jie forced his eyes to look past Li Shenhou's forehead and saw Master and Qi Zhu in the room. He quickly got up and greeted them.

The master smiled and said, "The monkey's appearance looks quite unique now. Li Jie, just wake up. Every time something big happens, I can't sleep for a long time. It's a good life. I am an old bone that is tired from running thousands of miles." I’ll take care of the aftermath for you.”

Li Jie said in fear, "Disciple doesn't dare."

During this time in the academy, Li Jiejie, besides attending classes every day, reading, contemplating and chanting, often sorted out some of the basic knowledge taught to him by the Master in his mind. He also understood that after he admitted that he was the son of Li Shenhou, the Master would enlighten him. The reason why he was admitted into the human sect’s gate.

Li Shenhou is the Master's disciple. In order to repay the Master's kindness in raising him, the Economic Master made an oath to be a disciple of the Renzong for generations to come, ensuring that the incense of the Renzong will be passed down forever.

Not to mention that only after being immersed in the academy did I understand what kind of existence the Master of the Seventh Realm was.

In the realm of China, people in the four realms are all princes, and local officials in the country and dynasty will act based on their faces. Masters in the five realms can establish a sect and call themselves ancestors from then on. Those in the six realms can be called a big saying. Yes, there are only a few dozen people in the human race, and any one of them is a powerful figure in the world.

The Master of the Seventh Realm is simply a bug. Counting the existence of the Seventh Realm of Demon Gods in the Mountain and Sea Realm, there are less than ten. It is not an exaggeration to call him the best master of the human race in the world. Even in the entire history of the mountains and seas of China, the Master is also Top [-] people.

Such a great master once thought that he was just a teacher. Thinking about his ignorance, Li Jie's face became hot. He really thought that he was a time traveler and could easily reach the nine realms, or even above the nine realms, and punch the way of heaven. , kicking Taiyi, chasing the saint.

The mentality of a time traveler looking down on everything is unacceptable. Keeping a low profile is the first key to saving your life. Not to mention that you are just a half-hearted time traveler without a golden finger. An inflated mentality will only make your death faster and uglier.

Li Jie also understood that the protagonists in the novels in his previous life all liked to farm and be quiet and peaceful among the people. Who would dare to be a normal person? This is not a game. You can come back after death. It is a real world. After all, In the real world, people like Long Aotian should die faster than his father. You don't know which corner will pop out of which a master who can't stand it will slap you and send him to time travel again.

The plot of fighting the younger one and the older one only existed in fantasy. I didn’t realize that he and Liu Yuanshan just had a little conflict, so Li Shenhou smashed the main hall of the Liu family to ask for an explanation. He injured Grandpa Liu Yuanshan who tried to stop him.

Strong people never follow rules. Rules are just the product of mutual checks and balances between strong people.

For a master of the Master's level, he is the one who makes the rules and can conquer all opponents. Except for the way of heaven, the Master can ignore anyone and anything in the world. This is the status of a scholar in the Seventh Realm.

"Why did Master come to Kyoto?" Li Jie asked.

"The commotion you caused this time was too big for us to deal with. After learning about it, Master came from Liangcheng overnight." Qi Zhu said, "Now you are at the center of the storm and a big shot that attracts the attention of the world."

Um? !Just when he wanted to keep quiet, he became the target of the world's attention?Are you kidding me?
"Uncle, what happened?" Li Jie asked.

"What happened?" Qi Zhu had a look of helplessness on his face, "Master, this child's life is worth noting, it really makes people jealous."

"For you and others, being noticed in the world is something that is normal, but for Li Jie, age, experience, and strength are not enough to support the position of being noticed in the world." The Master smiled, "But speaking of it, this child Making such a big fuss confirms my suspicion."

Everyone in the room looked at the Master with questions on their faces.

The Master said, "After enlightenment, you broke through two realms in a row. At that time, there was a punishment from heaven. I thought that it was you who was a human monster, and you would be punished by heaven if you broke the mirror. This time, when the saint came to this world, I realized that it was not It’s because of you, it’s the relationship between the way of heaven and the saints.”

"The relationship between the Dao of Heaven and the saints? Isn't the Dao of Heaven established by the saints?" Li Jie asked, "Logically speaking, shouldn't the Dao of Heaven and the saints be in the same group? How can there be a relationship?"

The master reached out and touched the jade pendant on his waist. A barrier opened up and covered the entire room, and then he slowly said, "This matter is the secret of our sect. It is passed down orally from generation to generation. There is no paper, only the sect leader." , the sword holder, the next generation sect master and the next generation sect master’s protector are qualified to know, but this matter is serious, generally speaking only the sect master knows about it.”

The master's eyes slowly glanced at Qi Zhu, Li Shenhou, and continued, "Qi Zhu is the contemporary sword holder, and the monkey is the protector of the next generation of sect masters."

"As for you, Li Jie, I have discussed with Mr. Liu and decided that you will be the next sect leader of our human sect. You were initiated by me personally. Even though you are a descendant of monkeys, it does not count as an inheritance." The master looked at Li Jie with a look in his eyes. Full of inexplicable meaning.

Qi Zhu and Li Shenhou were shocked, "Master, you have been in great prosperity during the Spring and Autumn Period, why do you need to decide on the next sect leader?"

The Master sighed leisurely, "At my level, I have a premonition about my own life and death. I seem to be able to see that I will not live long."

"Master, scholars in the Sixth Realm have a lifespan of two decades, let alone you who are in the Seventh Realm?" Qi Zhu said, "Master is joking."

The Master shook his head and smiled, "For me, life and death are just life and death, so why should I be afraid of it? I won't mention this. What I say below must be kept in mind and must not be leaked or discussed under the laws of heaven. This house has now been stripped away from the heavens by me using the Renzong's supreme treasure, but it won't last long."

Before the three of them could speak, the Master said, "The first generation leader of our Human Sect was a disciple of the Saint. He once said that the Saint might be plotted by heaven."

"What?!" The three of them were shocked.

"Master, this is impossible. The way of heaven is established by saints collecting the spirits of all things, the wishes of all living beings, and the essence of the divine state. The way of heaven is ruthless and selfless. It is simply a collection of consciousness. How can you plot against a saint?" Qi Zhu asked , a look of confusion on his face.

"I also asked something back then, and the previous sect master replied, God is selfless, God is merciless, and God is sovereign. Why is there evil in China? Fathers and sons kill each other, brothers kill each other, and husbands and wives kill each other. Tragedies in human relations are common, but there is no retribution from heaven. This is One of them." The Master said with a nostalgic look on his face. "Human nature is fickle, and desires are hard to satisfy. It's reasonable to not check the way of heaven for a while," Qi Zhu said.

"False. If you don't check it for a while, you won't check it for the rest of your life." The master said, "It's because of the selfishness of the way of heaven."

"The way of heaven is selfish?" Qi Zhu was shocked, "This is impossible. If the way of heaven is selfish, how can there be punishment from heaven to punish those who commit crimes?"

"Do you care about the fight between ants?" The Master asked, "Why is it that when Heaven punishes humans in the fourth realm and above? Most of them are people who have done taboo things? The bottom line of Heaven's law is the Four Realms. If a person in this realm is too involved in cause and effect, he will definitely be included in the sight of heaven."

"The four realms are already one of the princes. If you do something taboo, it will definitely involve a lot of people, and the law of heaven will have to punish you."

"No, if in the four realms and below, there are many powerful people who commit crimes, but no punishment from heaven is coming?" said the Master.

"Please clear up my doubts, Master." Qi Zhu straightened his clothes, bowed to Master, and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Li Shenhou, who was on the side, was confused when he heard this. He glanced at Li Jie and said, "Junior brother's son, what do you mean by Master?"

Li Jie thought for a while and said to Li Shenhou, "Master is saying that the way of heaven has its own consciousness and will do things that are beneficial to itself, so the way of heaven is unfair."

The Master glanced at Li Jie appreciatively and said, "You can teach me."

Then he said, "In the two realms of Immortals and Buddhas, there are Zihe chariots as medicine, children's hearts, virgin blood, and children's tears as supplements in the four realms. There are also methods of collecting yin and yang, and there are also Ajie drums, human bone rosary beads, and human skin Buddha pictures. , if there is no punishment from heaven for taking the flesh lotus, how can we explain it?"

"Immortals and Buddhas also have heavenly calamities." Qi Zhu replied.

"The Heavenly Tribulation of Immortals and Buddhas is aimed at the Immortals and Buddhas who violate the rules of Heaven, or the Immortals and Buddhas who fall into demons. Have you ever seen practitioners of the Four Realms of Immortal Dao and Buddhism suffer the Heavenly Tribulation without falling into demons?" The Master sneered, "The Immortals and Buddhas, the Heavenly Tribulation He is also a slave of his family. The way of heaven controls the heavenly mirror, and the life and death of immortals and Buddhas are all in one thought. Therefore, those who have not fallen into demons during the heavenly tribulations of immortals and Buddhas will be fine. This is the second reason."

"As scholars of our generation, if we kneel down to the way of heaven, we can avoid the punishment of death. If the Confucian cultivators obey the way of heaven and receive the blessing of heaven, they will have great power in their movements and their life span can exceed the limit of human beings. Why? We are also slaves of the way of heaven. Is it reasonable for a corrupt Confucian to take forbidden medicines, but Heaven will ignore them? This is the third reason."

"The consciousness of all things is gathered together. If there is no one consciousness to dominate, wouldn't it be chaotic? The way of heaven is constantly rotating. Have you ever seen the sun and moon upside down, rivers flowing backward, and yin and yang disordered? These are four of them."

"The head of the first generation of the Human Sect once said that the disappearance of saints is very strange. Heaven has even erased the names of saints. If the merits of saints were not imprinted in people's hearts, the world may not know what saints are."

"Three thousand years ago, the Taoism of Immortals and Buddhas was very popular. Don't forget that all the twelve kingdoms of the Witch God Dynasty had great witchcraft festivals in the Six Realms and countless witchcraft festivals in the Five Realms. How could a group of descendants of the Immortal Buddhism and Taoism who could not reach the Five Realms overthrow it? The Twelve Kingdoms of the Witch God Dynasty established the Immortal Kingdom, the Nine Immortal Kingdoms, and the Buddhist Kingdom of the Large and Small Two Vehicles?" The Master said, "The great changes 3000 years ago were more than just the Witch Sacrifice. In my line of scholars, except for the rotten Confucians of the Tian Sect, the giants of the Earth Sect and All the sect masters of our human sect disappeared in the great changes, and the scholars above the four realms suffered heavy casualties. The reason why has always been unclear, and it is difficult for future generations to understand."

"Before the great change, the leader of our human sect left two words in blood to write to heaven."

"Therefore, the purpose of our human sect is not to be a slave to the way of heaven, nor to regard myself as a corrupt scholar. In this life, I will only kneel to heaven and earth as my master, not to the way of heaven."

Li Jie and others were shocked. Just as they were about to ask questions, Master's expression changed and the barrier covering the room shattered.

The master waved his hand and said, "What I just said must not be spread to anyone else."

"There is only one solution to Li Jie's explanation of heavenly punishment." Master said, "It just so happened that the saint came to this world, which gave me and others more room to operate."

Li Shenhou bowed to Master, "Master, please save my son."

"The way taught by the saints, before the way of heaven was established, there was a taboo law that future generations were not allowed to peep into." The Master said, "After the way of heaven was established, this taboo law was included in the rules of heaven, regardless of immortals, Buddhas, Confucianism, martial arts, witches, elves, or monsters." , Anyone who knows this practice will be punished by heaven."

"Li Jie climbed to the top of Shushan Trail and received the inheritance from the saint. Previously, he threw out different versions of the Tao Te Ching to calm the situation, which was just to confuse the public. Now we can tell the world that Li Jie's inheritance was left by the saint before he established the way of heaven, and it includes the incense and fire way. "The master smiled and said, "The academy can open a separate subject and let Li Jie give lectures. Anyone who is willing to listen can come, but you will be responsible for your life and death."

"Incense and Fire Divine Way? You want me to preach?" Li Jie was shocked. He only knew the four words of Incense and Fire Divine Way. As for how to practice it, he didn't know at all.

"How many people in this world are not afraid of death? The divine way of incense and fire cannot be tolerated in the world. Even if you preach, no one will come to listen." The master smiled and said, "Perhaps the punishment of heaven is just a matter of sleeping for you. You can ask We killed all the Shangluo monkeys, how does it feel to be punished by heaven?"

"Enough." Li Shenhou said, "Anyway, I don't want to suffer it a second time."

"What if there are people who are determined to seek Taoism and are not afraid of death?" Qi Zhu asked, "If Li Jie insists on preaching, what should we do?"

"If you don't even care about heaven's punishment, Qi Zhu, just ask Shangluo to admit him and list him on the wall of our sect. As for how to identify those who fish in troubled waters, I don't need to say more about this." The Master smiled.

"Qi Zhu understands."

"Li Jie, you have been in the academy for half a month. Do you have any questions? I can answer them for you today," the Master said.

Li Jie thought for a while, "Master, these days in the academy, I heard teachers and students complaining about the loss of ancient historical classics. I wonder to what extent they were lost? Just one sentence, after Wang Mang established the new country, Liu Xiu reestablished the Han Dynasty, and the classics were lost. It stopped abruptly. I read through many classics and realized that history has been extremely confusing since the early Eastern Han Dynasty. Didn't anyone revise it?"

The Master sighed, "It is so difficult to revise the ancient historical classics. Many scholars are so poor that they only piece together a few fragments. Historical classics are the reference for other classics. If there are errors and omissions, it will be difficult to understand other classics. Some people have tried. , the pieced together history has made it difficult for many scholars to move forward, and even the proverbs exploded, so no one has tried it now."

Li Jie was immediately overjoyed. In his previous life, he was a history buff. Not only did he read through "24 Histories", he would always hold on to issues related to history. Now that he has entered the Three Realms, the books he read in his previous life have become blurry. Now it appears clearly in my mind.

Senior Saint, you finally left a way for me, my fellow villager. Does this count as your golden finger?
