Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Conspiracy of the Gods
For more than 100 years, after making great efforts, the national fortunes of the Shang Dynasty were thriving, the people were rich, and the country and the people were safe, but an invisible hand moved the national fortunes of the Shang Dynasty at this time, and fixed it five hundred years later.
The dojo of the Taishang Sage, in the Eight Views Palace of Shouyang Mountain, the leaders of the three sects of Xuanmen, Taiqing Daode Tianzun, Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, and Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun are listed side by side, and Taiqing disciple Xuandu is on the side. In front of the three saints, a list was listed, and the three saints were silent.
The three saints had been silent here for a few days, but no one spoke in the face of the list, and Xuan Du stood aside carefully, not daring to take a breath, for fear of provoking the teacher and the two uncles. He saw with his own eyes that the three saints were fighting for the candidates on the list.
It wasn't until seven days had passed that the Taiqing Sage opened his eyes again, looked at Yuan Shi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master and said, "Two junior brothers, the time is almost up, let's sign the pledge as soon as possible!" ”
Hearing this, Yuan Shi Tianzun said again: "Senior brother, there are only a few disciples in the exposition sect, and the qualified junior disciples have filled in by themselves, and the rest are all virtuous people, and they should be allowed to be immortal!" ”
Hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Master couldn't help but explain: "Senior brother, although I have many disciples in the sect, they are all immortals who have practiced for ten thousand years, and their moral character is good, they really shouldn't break their immortal fate, the junior brother has already signed hundreds of disciples with pain, and the remaining junior disciples really can't sign!" ”
After listening to the words of the two junior disciples, the Taiqing sage couldn't help frowning, but he felt powerless in his heart. Although it is clear that the Fengshen List is a glimmer of life left for the disciples of the disciples in the Great Tribulation of the Gods, how can the three saints personally cut off the disciples' immortal path and turn to the Shinto Dao.
Thinking of the people on the list, Taiqing couldn't bear to look at it, the teacher had already explained that those with deep roots became immortals, and those with inferior roots were on the list, but now almost all the people on the list are with inferior qualifications in the two religions.
Seeing that the time was coming, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the Taiqing sage, and he solemnly looked at the Yuan Shi Tianzun and the Tongtian Sect Master, and said word by word: "Since it is difficult for the two junior disciples to sign, it is better for me to wait for one of them not to sign, five hundred years later, when Shang destroyed Zhou Xing, the disciples of the two sects will compete in the competition, the surviving immortals, the dead will be on the list, and the ashes will be reincarnated, how about it?" ”
"What the senior brother said is very good!" Yuan Shi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master were overjoyed when they heard this.
Seeing that the two juniors and disciples agreed, the Taiqing sage proposed again: "The Shang and Zhou wars, expounding the teaching and assisting the Zhou to destroy the Shang, and intercepting the teaching and helping the Shang to defeat the Zhou, can the two of you have any objections?" ”
Yuan Shi Tianzun was overjoyed again when he heard this, and directly agreed, but the Tongtian Sect Master was reluctant when he heard this, and said with a fighting voice: "Senior brother, the heavenly machine is destined to destroy Zhou Xing, I intercept the sect to help the Shang Dynasty, how can I win?" ”
Lao Tzu pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "Allow you to remind your disciples that as long as they don't go down the mountain, they won't be exposed to the Great Tribulation!" But if they go down the mountain in a daze, you can't stop them! ”
The Tongtian Sect Master felt good when he heard this, so he agreed. The birthday star didn't save the people who wanted to die, since they were told that they were in danger of death, and they were also in danger, the Tongtian Sect Master couldn't do anything.
Seeing that the two junior disciples approved of this plan, the Taiqing sage directly took off the list of gods, and then erased the name on the list, before the Taiqing Fu edict was struck, and at the same time continued: "Two junior brothers, you should also sign the pledge!" After speaking, he handed over the god list to Yuan Shi Tianzun. Yuan Shi Tianzun did not hesitate to directly put on his Yuqing Fu edict, and then transferred it to the Tongtian Sect Master, and the Tongtian Sect Master did not hesitate, directly marked the Shangqing Fu Edict, and finally handed it over to the Taiqing Sage to seal it.
After watching the whole process of how the three saints signed the god list, Xuandu couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Is it so casual? Don't sign any of them, let the junior brothers and sisters fight, then you can't kill the red eye, and then it's up to you to pull away. ”
Then before Xuandu finished complaining, he heard Uncle Tongtian say again: "Senior brother, the god position is limited, we really let the disciples fight, is there no other way?" ”
Hearing this, the Taiqing Sage couldn't help but look at the Tongtian Sect Master, and then said, "Do you have any good way?" You might as well name a few more details! ”
"Hey, hey! The junior brother was also inspired by the disciple to come up with it! Saying that, the Tongtian Sect Master told Ling Xu's edict to his uncle, and brought his junior brother to serve in the heavens, and said Ling Xu's thoughts.
The Taiqing Sage listened to it while calculating and deducing the feasibility of this matter, but Yuan Shi Tianzun's eyes were getting brighter and brighter when he heard this, and the words of the Tongtian Sect Master seemed to have opened a new door for him.
Before the Taiqing Sage finished his calculations, Yuan Shi Tianzun said: "Ling Xuan is worthy of the Xuanmen Apologists selected by us, and even this method of Li Dai Taostiff can come up with!" After speaking, he began to think about how to arrange his disciples when he went back.
However, just when Yuan Shi Tianzun secretly arranged it and the Tongtian Sect Master was satisfied, the Taiqing Sage finished his calculations, but he directly poured a basin of cold water on the two.
"Although the idea of the senior disciple is good, it can only place a small number of disciples, and the placement of disciples must not be lower than the Golden Immortal!"
As soon as Lao Tzu said this, the Tongtian Sect Master and Yuan Shi Tianzun were a little stunned, and asked puzzledly: "Senior brother, why is this?" ”
"Hehe, not to mention that Haotian, the master of the Heavenly Court, is unwilling, that is, the disciples are all really serving in their positions, and there are no restrictions, so what is the difference between that and now, who else will handle the affairs of the Heavenly Court wholeheartedly at that time!" Lao Tzu sage explained.
Yuan Shi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master also nodded silently when they heard this, obviously agreeing with Lao Tzu's statement. Since then, the Tongtian Sect Master has also given up this idea, and has begun to think about how to help his disciples survive the Great Tribulation of the Gods. However, Yuan Shi Tianzun did not give up, one is that he has fewer disciples, and the other is that he has already had disciples to heaven, so how can he not have one, so Yuan Shi Tianzun did not give up completely.
Seeing that the two junior disciples were no longer fantasizing about this method, Lao Tzu Sage said leisurely: "Although this strategy is not feasible, but it is a strategy for the elder brother, and he can't completely save the disciples, but he can also save a lot!" ”
The Tongtian Sect Master was stunned when he heard this, and asked eagerly: "Senior brother, what is the strategy, please inform the junior brother!" Yuan Shi Tianzun also looked at Lao Tzu suspiciously when he heard this, and waited for Lao Tzu to explain.
"The two junior disciples should have heard that there is a foreign religion in this desolate west!"
"Senior brother is talking about the Western religion?" After hearing this, Yuan Shi Tianzun asked for confirmation.
"Yes, it is this Western Sect, when he was calculating for his brother, he suddenly calculated that this Western Sect has a secret realm, which is called Elysium by Western people, and there is nothing peculiar about this secret realm, only one thing can solve the current dilemma."
"What's so strange about it?" This time it was the Tongtian Sect Master who asked.
"This Elysium can be separated from cause and effect, that is, those who enter Elysium will not be subject to the cause and effect of the flood!" Lao Tzu sage explained.
"What? Into Elysium? Then how could the Western Sect Master allow my Xuanmen disciples to enter their secret realm to avoid cause and effect! After hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Master asked with envy and puzzlement.
"Hehe, let us in or not, it depends on how we calculate, I heard that the strength of the two sect masters of the Western Sect is equal to ours, and they also enjoy the fruit of sainthood, it is impossible to take it by force, but if they are allowed to bring it in themselves, it depends on how we calculate."
Hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Master's eyes showed a shiny light, and his body unconsciously approached Lao Tzu, and asked softly, "Senior brother, have you thought of a plan?" How do you need to cooperate with your junior? ”
Immediately, the three of them gathered to conspire, and even Xuan Du who was present couldn't hear the words of the conspiracy of the three people.
