Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 416 The Saint Slays the Mountain God

The appearance of Li Xiuyuan instantly stunned the two mountain gods of Shoushan and Genyue.

Although they are not immortal gods in the Heavenly Palace, they are also conferred as gods by the imperial court. As long as the Great Song Dynasty survives, their status is not as low as that of the imperially conferred gods in the Heavenly Palace. Song Guo was once powerful and had unique advantages. Although the time to become a mountain god was very short, his Taoism was extremely high.

A ghost king can be cut if he says to cut it.

However, this kind of mountain gods conferred by the imperial court has one of the biggest disadvantages, that is, once the dynasty changes, their vitality will come to an end. A cultivator who is a human immortal is at ease.

Shoushan Mountain God held the Zhenshan Sword at this moment, and glanced at Genyue Mountain God who had laid down on the ground.

However, he saw that the armor on Gen Yue Mountain God's body was broken, and there was a big hole in his back. There was no blood flowing out, but there was a stream of incense, and Yin Qi came out rustlingly, continuously spilling out.

Once the body of ghosts and gods is injured, what is damaged is Taoism.

Without certainty of victory, ghosts and gods are not willing to fight with others, because even if they win, it will damage their morality.

"Li Xiuyuan, you are a saint in the south, and we are mountain gods in the north, protecting the safety of the capital. There is a well between you and me. In the future, you will gain fame and fame, become an official in the court, and help the world and the common people. We are also the same. Colleagues, we might be able to work together for the current steward in the future, but today you are out of your body and attacking us because of a mere ghost king, what are you trying to do? Rebellion?"

Shoushan Mountain God spoke righteously and severely reprimanded Li Xiuyuan.

"Since you know that I may become an official in the court in the future and help the world, why do you want to stop the ghost king from escorting my subordinates? You just don't want to save me. I don't blame you for this. After all, my guards have no Offering incense to you, if you offer incense, it is another matter, and Confucius has said that it is not courageous to see righteousness and not do it."

Speaking of this, Li Xiuyuan's face turned cold: "You don't have to save people, but why do you want to stop the ghost king I sent to save people?"

"It's our duty. We are ordered to guard the capital, and the ones we stop are demons and goblins."

Shoushan Mountain God said: "I heard that Li Shengren persuaded people with reasoning and killed demons in the name of being upright. Are you going to go against your heart because of personal grievances today?"

He has become a god for hundreds of years, even though he was granted imperial title after the death of a general, but he has been in the capital for so long, so how can he not know some truths after hearing and seeing.

At this moment, it is used to refute Li Xiuyuan, and let him be wrong first, so this battle may not be able to be fought.

However, Li Xiuyuan laughed; "You also know that I kill evil spirits in the name of being upright? But do you know that I have another reason to kill evil spirits besides killing evil spirits in the name of being upright?"

"If there are ghosts, gods and demons who obstruct my way in the world, I will be punished."

"Officials have official ways, ghosts have ghost ways, gods have divine ways, and I have my own way. There is nothing wrong with human officials fighting for power and profit, there is nothing wrong with ghosts greedy for incense, and there is nothing wrong with gods exercising divine power. You are loyal to your duties, and there is nothing wrong with guarding the capital. Wrong, then whose fault is it that the world is chaotic and the people withered? Is it God's fault?"

"It's ridiculous, there is no pure right and wrong in the world. If I argue with you ghosts and gods, even if I argue to the death, I can't tell the difference. Because in my opinion, right and wrong are different because of different status. Therefore, there are many differences between people and ghosts. There is no way to understand each other, so I can only uphold one thought, carry out my ideals in this life, and complete my journey in the world to see if ghosts and gods rule in this world, or I, a sage in this world, rule."

"Therefore, those who prevent me from becoming enlightened, whether you are ghosts, gods, demons, or officials and ordinary people, you should be punished."

After he finished speaking, his gaze was bright and majestic, and he was determined not to be swayed by the words of these two mountain gods.

Li Xiuyuan has come to this point today, and he is about to raise troops to quell the chaos. He doesn't know how many people and evil spirits he will kill in the future. If his heart is shaken, can't he be in a cocoon?
If Confucius had softened his heart when punishing Shao Zhengmao, perhaps his ideas would not have been passed down.

A trace of panic appeared in the eyes of Shoushan Mountain God when he heard the words. Frightened by Li Xiuyuan's firm belief at this moment, he couldn't help but take a step back.

Since ancient times, enlightenment has been both a great good and a great evil.

Li Xiuyuan in front of him, with the fate of a born saint, the way he wants to walk is a great evil to ghosts and gods. After his way is over, I don't know how many ghosts and gods will die under his sword of killing immortals.

"So, Li Xiuyuan, are you determined to fight against our two mountain gods?" Shoushan Mountain God calmed down and shouted in a deep voice.

"It's not that I'm against you. I'm not against anyone. It's you who blocked my way. If I let you go today, there will be ghosts and gods who will use other reasons to hinder me in the future. If I let go, then in the future Wouldn't it be difficult for me to move forward? Don't you two mountain gods know the allusion of not allowing thieves?"

Not allowing robbery means not agreeing to the robber's request.

This is a story that happened to Qiao Xuan at the end of the Han Dynasty. It tells the story of a group of robbers who tied up Qiao Xuan’s son and asked Qiao Xuan to pay the ransom. into the hands of robbers.

But it was precisely because of this that the imperial court issued an injunction that all robbers who took hostages were not allowed to pay ransom. Since then, there will be no more robbers.

The current situation is similar, if Li Xiuyuan let go of the two mountain gods, he would be allowing them to spoil him.

Today you can rely on the excuse of your duty to spoil your own affairs, and indirectly kill your two loyal guards. Tomorrow, there will be other ghosts and gods who follow the gourd, and continue to act with such an excuse, then you will not be punished. punish?

If he doesn't punish him, he won't be able to do anything in the future, and he will be completely led away by ghosts and gods.

"My reasoning is over, can the two mountain gods be convinced?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Shoushan Mountain God is at a loss for words at the moment, he was born as a general, although he understands a lot of truths of scholars, how can he be the opponent of Li Xiuyuan who was born as a serious scholar.

Words could not convince him, and the justifications he relied on before were dismissed, and his arrogance suddenly disappeared a lot, and he was not as aggressive as before.

The Zhenshan sword in his hand also seemed to be less powerful than before.

"I give in to you grandma, this god will cut you off."

At this moment, Genyue Mountain God gasped, and his body recovered. Although he had lost some of his abilities, he was still alive and well. With a loud shout, it sounded like thunder exploded in the sky, and angrily slashed at Li Xiuyuan with a big ax in his hand.

"So, you ghosts and gods really make me feel ridiculous. When you can't beat me, you can reason with me, and when you can't talk, come and fight with me. I want to punish you today, and I will let you die convinced, so as not to resent you. Scattering breeds the evil spirits in the forest, and let the ghosts and gods in the world know that I, Li Xiuyuan, did not kill you for no reason, lest some ghosts and gods think that I am a holy man who indiscriminately acts like a bloodthirsty person."

Li Xiuyuan looked at Genyue mountain god splitting with a huge ax indifferently, he raised the immortal sword in his hand, and touched the simple and generous blade.

It seems to feel an endless power condensed on it.

With the sword of killing immortals in hand, if you see gods and gods, Buddhas and gods, immortals and immortals, then you are not a saint, but a lunatic. Such a person will not live long, and will be hated and confronted by the whole world. miserable.

But if you stick to your beliefs and use reason to kill ghosts and gods, it will only make good ghosts and gods in the world, and ghosts and gods with the same ideas feel at ease and trust, and even be willing to become fellows with you and help you.

This is the truth.

"Hoo~!"

The wind howled, and the ax suddenly became bigger, and it fell on Li Xiuyuan's head like a mountain. This huge body seemed to be able to easily shatter Li Xiuyuan's soul, completely ruining his life.

Li Xiuyuan is out of his body now, ghosts and gods are not close, and Taoism is useless. There is no ability, only the protection of purple energy, and the protection of dragons and phoenixes.

Therefore, Genyue Mountain God can cast spells in front of him.

"This mountain god of Genyue is just looking for his own death. He lost his mind and attacked the saints in the world. It seems that the mountain gods in the north have never tasted the horror of killing immortals." Seeing the sword-wielding ghost king hiding not far away Seeing Genyue Mountain God's move, he was not surprised but very happy.

He has personally seen the horror of the Immortal Sword.

It doesn't matter whether you have practiced for 1000 years or 2000 years, it is the same in front of this knife.

That kind of mighty power that is like heaven and earth can make any ghost feel hopeless.

"Om~!"

Suddenly, the sky and the earth seemed to be trembling at this moment, and an endless force of greatness gathered in one place, forming a big knife, cutting forward like a tide, and like the sharpest thing in the world.

The sage of the world, Li Xiuyuan, once again sacrificed his sword to kill immortals.

A ray of clear light pierced the sky, dispelling the gloom in the dark night, ghosts and gods did not exist where the light passed, and all evil spirits disappeared.

The giant ax that Genyue Mountain God chopped down from the sky instantly exploded in the light, turning into a stream of pure incense. A knife was split from the middle of the body.

From the beginning to the end, it was cut into two sections in an instant.

At this moment, Genyue Mountain God's body froze in the mid-air, and then his body collapsed, split open violently, and also collapsed into incense and Yin Qi.

almost at the same time.

On Genyue Mountain on the outskirts of the capital, the stone statue of a general holding a huge ax suddenly cracked without warning, and then collapsed with a bang, leaving a pile of rubble on the ground.

With the god gone, there is no need for the idol to exist, and it will naturally collapse.

Seeing this scene, the God of Longevity Mountain, who was justified before and was not afraid of Li Xiuyuan, immediately turned pale with fright. Although he couldn't see his face, it is certain that his face must be horrified now.

Because, it was also the first time he had seen Zhanxian Broadsword.

"No, it's impossible, Gen Yue Mountain God can slash and kill even the ghost king, but he can't block a single blow?"

Wanshoushan felt chills in his heart, and even trembled a little, the arm holding Zhenshan Sword felt unprecedentedly heavy.
