The heavens begin with the Dharma of absorbing power.

Chapter 498: Saints and Emperors, the power of faith changes, refining falsehood to become true, creating creation and becoming a god.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

"It is the blessing of Ming Dynasty that there are saints in Ming Dynasty...Father, what kind of person is the teacher..."

The young emperor Zhu Houzhao was sitting on the dragon chair, muttering to himself in front of a picture, which was a portrait of the late emperor Hongzhi.

During the trip to Hulong Villa, the little emperor heard many secrets with his own ears, and he was confused.

The teacher and father-in-law whom he had always admired turned out to be the source of some chaos.

The Great Treasure Zang of the East China Sea, the eunuch Liu Xi rebelled against the Jinluan Palace, the great demon Yagyu Yishou... even the rebellion of the emperor's uncle Zhu Wuli seemed to be related to him. He felt as if he had never seen this teacher clearly.

Perhaps, his father, the person who chose Taishi Tuogu, he had not seen clearly.

"Shou'er!"

Xu Xin walked into the Qianqing Palace, and his call brought Zhu Houzhao back to his senses.

"Old, teacher..."

Zhu Houzhao felt as if he had returned to many years ago. When he was caught by the teacher while doing bad things secretly, he stuttered a little.

"them……"

Zhu Houzhao was just about to say why no one reported it, but suddenly he remembered that the man in front of him had been given privileges such as immunity from death, beating the emperor, punishing ministers, refusing to worship, etc. However, he never took back these privileges after he took office, and the eunuchs and maids did not change them. It's still the same as before.

In the past, every time Xu Xin came over, Cao Zhengchun came to report in person, but now he was sent to guard the late emperor's mausoleum.

"You've grown up a lot and are doing great!"

Xu Xin recognized Zhu Houzhao's ability. He did a very good job in this position.

"Teacher, why do you do so much?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Xu Xin with countless doubts in his heart, and finally had the courage to ask.

"I'm asking for help!"

Xu Xin first summarized it in four words, and then explained it in detail.

"I gained a lot from practicing martial arts at a young age, and within ten years I could stand at the top of the world. However, I soon realized that if I go alone, my strength will eventually be limited, so I chose to be born."

"Manpower is limited and the world is eternal. It is too tiring to think about it alone. I will use the wisdom of all sentient beings as an arm to help me complete my path. This is my idea."

"I have countless wonderful ideas, but it is too time-consuming and difficult to follow my own path, so I let others try it, see the results myself, and work backwards based on the results to get twice the result with half the effort."

"Teacher, are you treating the world as a chessboard, and all living beings are your pawns?"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but interjected, and it was obvious that he had emotions in his heart.

"You can say that!"

Xu Xin nodded and said seriously: "When you practice martial arts to a certain level, you can feel the limit of the world that cannot be entered. But in fact, this is just an illusion. Since there is an upper limit, there is a way to break it. Maybe, it’s just very difficult.”

"I use the world as a chessboard and play chess with heaven and earth, in order to break the limit and beat the sky by half a piece!"

"Shengtian Banzi!"

When Zhu Houzhao heard the last four words Xu Xin said, he was shocked in his heart. What kind of courage it was, but the man in front of him did have such courage and ability.

He seems to have done everything to the best of his ability. Even the dynasty's two to three hundred years of predicament was almost broken by his arrangement. Nothing in the past history can restrain him. He really He has been "beating the world for half a year". Zhu Houzhao thought a lot. Finally, he raised his head and stared at Xu Xin and said, "So, in your eyes, are the flags different?"

"Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs!"

"The Great Dao! I am like the Great Dao! I can treat strangers all over the world equally and make them live a better life, because this is what I can do. This is how I can benefit the world at the same time."

"The road is ruthless and people have desires, so I will make different choices for those who are involved in the cause and effect. I have a clear conscience towards the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Xu Xin and said silently: "Then, where is the father..."

"I could save him in the past, but if he is alive, Ming Dynasty will not be able to completely change."

"So, I let him sleep."

Zhu Houzhao was stunned by Xu Xin's words, and then he continued: "There is a great epidemic in the capital, and the Queen Mother unfortunately died. If Shou'er has a filial heart, he should go to the Prince Consort's Mansion to meet his relatives more often in the future!"

Xu Xin's last words seemed to say everything, but also seemed to say nothing.

He had let Su Xin sleep for so long to study, so naturally he had gained something.

He finally mastered part of the secret of Tianxiang Cardamom's resurrection, and Emperor Hongzhi, who had been saved by his energy in the past, was also saved.

Just like Su Xin, he seemed to have slept for a long time and had just woken up from his deep sleep and was placed in the Prince Consort's Mansion by Xu Xin.

When I came to the palace today, in addition to meeting my apprentice, I also asked the Queen Mother Zhang to "pass away" and go to the Prince Consort's Mansion to accompany Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youtang. The old couple could be considered retired and enjoy their old age.

As for Emperor Zhu Houzhao, when the princess got married and the Queen Mother died, he could only be "a lonely man". From now on, he would just go to the Prince Consort's Mansion to see his relatives more often.

"Shou'er, thank you teacher!"

After Xu Xin settled the matter here and talked to the little emperor for a while, he walked towards the outside of Qianqing Palace. Zhu Houzhao, who was in the main hall, hurried to the palace gate and knelt down towards Xu Xin's back. , the great gift of three bows and nine kowtows.

……

After everything in the capital was finished, Xu Xin seemed to be doing nothing all day again, occasionally holding two martial arts meetings or going to various sects in the rivers and lakes to harvest the leeks that grew one after another.

Although there are not many masters in the world that Xu Xin can like, the number of innate masters is increasing and their quality seems to be changing, and all of this is the credit of Xu Xin, the "ancestor of the new martial arts". But he hid his merit and fame and only occasionally harvested leeks.

As time passed, "Wang Xue" first replaced Neo-Confucianism and ethics and became the orthodoxy of the imperial examinations. Later, it kicked off Confucianism and formed its own school, and the avenue of science became orthodoxy.

Observing the changes in the world and everything in the world and sorting out the true truth from them is science.

The legend of the scientific sage Wang Yangming has been circulated for a long time. The ultimate of science is theology, and the sage Wang Yangming is that "god".

In this way, Xu's "performance" is rising rapidly, and his "performance" is rising rapidly. The golden light in his mind changes endlessly, and his understanding of the realm of "heaven and man" is also deepening step by step. However, I just can't completely cross over, I always feel like something is missing.

In the course of these years, Xu Xin gained more and more knowledge, as deep as the ocean. Later, he even studied "faith". Regarding "faith", the invisible spiritual power, he gained some gains.

He found that both "emperors" and "saints" could have faith, but the "faith" they obtained were different. The emperor is still a human being in the eyes of the world, but the "sage" seems not to be so.

What the world believes you are, the "faith" you acquire seems to have this quality.

It's like, if the world thinks you are a human being, a respected person, then you are still a human being, just with more majesty and changes, and you still have birth, old age, illness and death.

But if the world believes in you and respects you as a "god", then the power of faith you gain seems to be able to truly create gods, refine falsehoods into true ones, and create gods.
