The fundamental reason for the decline of Shinto is that the human emperor Zhuan Xuan forcibly used his humanitarian luck to forcibly pass the Jedi Heavenly Pass and broke off the Shinto faith, so that the death of the gods and the reincarnation of the reincarnation were almost extinct.

Several Shinto powerhouses, including Taishan Shenjun, have been able to preserve themselves by finding another way.

In the battle between the Mo family and the Confucian Taoist system, in the end, the Confucian sage chess was one high, and he took the lead in promoting to the saint realm and won the victory, so the Mo family was divided and scattered.

It is no wonder that the farmer Xu Xing and the doctor Bian Que can stay out of the matter and not participate in the battle of the three sects of the Mandate of Heaven, but several strong people in Shinto and Mo Zhai quickly joined the camp of your choice.

Connecting the whole event makes sense.

However, the key point of Confucianism's victory is that Confucianism was promoted to the saint realm one step earlier, and Confucianism was able to be promoted to the saint realm, and it is rumored that it was because of the guidance of the Taoist saint.

The dispute between Confucianism and Mo, the role played by the Dao Sage in it, I am afraid it is not very glorious.

Therefore, the Taoist Shenghui directly let the Taishan Shenjun Dove occupy the magpie's nest and annex Buddhism, and when it came to how to deal with Confucianism, he wanted to make a detour and let Lin Ze instigate Mo Zhai to replace Confucianism.

Is this because he is worried that Mo Zhai is haunted by the past and unwilling to cooperate?

Lin Ze thought about it carefully, and felt that it was not necessary, not to mention that even the Buddha and Confucian Saints who had repeatedly opposed him could tolerate it, and there was no reason why he could not tolerate a grudgeful Mo Zhai.

Besides, if the saint really doesn't like Mo Zhai, or has the intention to take precautions, he can take measures to make Mo Zhai disappear, why keep this hidden danger?

Lin Ze said that he couldn't figure it out, but he knew what to do, and what the Dao Saint didn't want to do, of course he couldn't do it.

So Lin Ze pretended to ponder for a moment, and replied indifferently: "Teacher Hui, the situation of Confucianism and Buddhism is different, there are still celestial towns, and he said that he would fully support the Dao Palace's plan to revive the construction of the Wood Divine Tree, and the disciple secretly thought that there was no need to make trouble. ”

"Besides, as the teacher said, the Confucian saint is still there, even if the Mo family replaces Confucianism, it is only a temporary mood, and when the Confucian saint is out of trouble and resumes cultivation, the two families will compete for Taoism, which will inevitably set off a bloody storm. ”

"Tossing back and forth, not to mention that the Dao Palace has not reaped the benefits, but the Confucianism and the Mo family will suffer heavy losses, and it is inevitable that they will resent the Dao Palace, and the Dao Palace will establish a strong enemy in vain, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

The Dao Sage couldn't deny it: "Yes, if the Three Sages don't restore the Holy Throne one day, you can seal the Three Sages all the time, so why worry about the Confucian Sage getting out of trouble and taking revenge?"

"The Mohist ban on Confucianism is not fundamentally different from the Taishan god Jun Dove occupying the magpie's nest Buddhism, and it is unfair to take one and discard it. ”

Lin Ze bowed his head slightly and said, "This matter has nothing to do with fairness, it is the disciple who can't afford to take the risk." ”

"It's just a matter of dealing with a Buddha, even if the Buddha gets out of trouble and wants to take revenge, it's a big deal that the disciples stare at him, it's all a saint realm, and he won't make any big waves. ”

"If you deal with Buddhism and Confucianism at the same time, once the Buddha and Confucianism get out of trouble, it is very likely that they will lose everything, please forgive the disciples for being timid and not daring to be presumptuous. ”

The Dao Sage said disapprerovitously: "The Buddha and the Confucian Sage add up to only two Sages, and the Dao Palace can be called one of the four Sages, why should you worry?"

Lin Ze still bowed his head and replied: "Once an accident happens, senior brother has to stay by the Jianmu Divine Tree, so as not to have an accident, some trivial things, how dare you easily bother the teacher." Thinking about it, it's better not to make trouble. ”

Dao Sheng's tone was slightly dark: "You made a lot of promises in order to recruit Mo Zhai, but now you plan to go back?"

Lin Ze shook his head and said: "I promised to help him, but I didn't say that I must use this kind of way of accidentally harming others and myself, the disciple secretly thought that Mo Zhai was not necessarily willing to take risks." ”

Dao Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "If you are willing to take risks, you have to ask and know." ”

Lin Ze didn't feel a toothache when he heard this, if you want to ask, why do you have to pull me?

At this time, Zhuang Zhou saw that Lin Ze was in a weak position, and was afraid that the Dao Saint would be reborn, so he forcibly interjected: "What the senior brother said is reasonable, and the disciple also feels that there is no need to toss, and I hope the teacher will think twice." ”

Dao Sheng glanced at Zhuang Zhou coldly, and said indifferently: "Since you don't think there's any need to toss, why do you two want to use it as a teacher?"

Lin Zezhuang saluted in unison: "If you disturb the teacher's practice, the disciple should die, and I hope the teacher will forgive the sins." ”

Dao Sheng looked at the two of them, a cold light flashing in his eyes, and he seemed extremely displeased.

After a long time, seeing that Lin Zezhuang Zhou resolutely refused to agree to the Mo family replacing the Confucian Taoist sage, he could only give up.

"Hmph, it's really a lot of things, don't bother to be a teacher in the future. ”

I only heard Dao Sheng snort coldly, waved his Dao robe vigorously, and a hurricane appeared out of thin air and blew towards Lin Zezhuang Er.

Lin Ze only felt a great thrust coming, and the whole person jumped up, and the picture in front of him changed dramatically, but he was thrown hundreds of miles away by this sleeve.

Of course, this was due to the fact that Lin Ze did not sense the danger and did not resist.

Otherwise, no matter how bad Lin Ze was, he wouldn't even be able to take the power of the Dao Saint's blow.

Compared with Lin Ze, Zhuang Zhou's fate was obviously much more miserable, and under the blow of the Dao Sheng, he was directly embedded in a nameless mountain.

Soon, Zhuang Zhou walked out of the mountain, shook off the dirt on his body, and said to Lin Ze as if nothing happened: "Senior brother, let's go, go back to Chang'an." ”

When Lin Ze saw this scene, he thought that Zhuang Zhou was unhappy, so he couldn't help but persuade: "Senior brother, don't take it to heart, the teacher is just angry for a while, and if you make compensation to his old man after a while, this matter will be over." ”

Zhuang Zhou was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Ze with a strange face, and said inexplicably: "Senior brother thinks I will be dissatisfied with the teacher? ”

Lin Ze's face was full of surprise and said, "Why did Senior Brother say this?"

Zhuang Zhou shook his head and said, "Senior brother, why bother asking, I will naturally know in the future, let's go, it is important to revive the Jianmu Divine Tree." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Lin Ze to ask again, Zhuang Zhou turned into a butterfly and disappeared.

Lin Ze's face was immediately gloomy, the Dao Sage was calculating him, Zhuang Zhou knew that the Dao Sage was calculating him, but he himself didn't know anything about this matter.

This feeling of knowing that someone is not good for you, but you don't know how to be bad, let alone how to deal with it, is really uncomfortable.

Lin Ze guessed that the calculation of the Dao Sage was very likely to be inseparable from the revival of the Jianmu Divine Tree.

When the Jianmu Divine Tree leads to the heavenly realm and connects the nine shadows, does it have to kill a saint to sacrifice to the sky?

Maybe after the revival of the Jianmu Divine Tree, what the Heavenly Dao gave was not a reward, but a heavenly punishment, and he was just a substitute for the dead ghost of the Dao Saint who colluded with heaven and earth?

Lin Ze, who lacked key information, couldn't think of any calculations for the Dao Sheng, so he could only make up his mind secretly, and never act rashly until he knew the Mandate of Heaven and calculated that reviving the Jianmu Divine Tree was a pro or cons for it.

During this period, Lin Ze had to try his best to delay the recovery of the Jianmu Divine Tree.

Fortunately, Lin Ze was in charge of this matter, and he had countless reasonable means and reasons to quietly delay time.
