In the Heavens

One wave is not flat, and another wave rises again.

The turmoil in the human race has not yet settled down, and another major event has occurred in the practice world. The two sages of the West suddenly announced that they would establish their own sect and break away from Taoism to establish Buddhism.

Originally, this is nothing, Hongjun Patriarch has long said: There are three thousand ways, and eight hundred side ways.

Taoism mainly inherits the three thousand ways, while the two western sages specialize in the eight hundred sects. Different road non-phase plan. It was a matter of time before the two parties separated, and everyone was prepared in their hearts.

But the problem is that while establishing their own sect, the Second Western Sages also abducted a large number of Taoist disciples, to be precise, they abducted the disciples of Chanjiao's sect.

As for the large group of Jiejiao, they were all forcibly captured by Jieyin and Zhunti in the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation. Even if you have entered Buddhism now, it is justifiable.

It can be said that five people including Taoist Ran Deng, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun, Cihang Taoist, Fear Liusun and Puxian Zhenren brought their disciples to Western religion, which is different in nature.

You must know that Chanjiao is the biggest winner of Conferring Gods and Slaying Jie, and before he had time to enjoy the fruits of victory, a large-scale apostasy occurred, and the strength of the sect was reduced by at least one-third.

If it is said that the reduction in strength can still be found to make up for it, then the blow to reputation will be devastating.

Teaching has always been respectful of rules, and respecting teachers and teaching is well-known in the prehistoric world. In everyone's perception, even if someone is apostate, it should be a mixed bag of good and bad people.

As a result, the reality was very embarrassing. There was no large-scale apostasy in the interception of religion, but it was staged in the elucidation of religion.

With such a huge change, everyone is waiting for the reaction of the original sage.

In this world where "one day is a teacher and life is a father", the karma between master and apprentice is not so easy to settle. No one can say that the original sage wants to take action to clean up the door.

It's a pity that the ending was disappointing, and the original sage did nothing but sigh.

Is this collective apostasy, or is there another conspiracy? What is Yuanshi Tianzun planning?

No one can solve these mysteries except the parties concerned.

Anyway, Li Mu wouldn't believe it, because by repaying the cause and effect of the Western Second Saint's attack, the arrogant primitive saint could let the other party dig into his own wall.

No matter how great the cause and effect of the saint's action was, it was not so great. The Second Saints of the West didn't do it for nothing, and the three thousand mortals in the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation were one of their rewards.

In essence, the two sides are a cooperative relationship, not reinforcements hired at a high price. With the arrogance of Yuan Tianzun, it is impossible to bear the blackmail of the two Western Saints.

Rather than allowing the disciples to betray the religion, it is better to send these traitors to the list of gods, at least to preserve their reputation.

As long as there are only a few of the Twelve Golden Immortals on the list, the two sects of Juchan and Chan will not be in trouble at all. Maybe in Zixiao Palace, the list will be filled up directly.

After the uproar in the Three Realms, the prestige of explaining teachings plummeted, compared with the soaring prestige of Buddhism. The powers of all parties are aware that the Western world, which has never been valued by everyone, is now a powerful force.

...

"Meet the saint!"

Li Mu was not interested in this unexpected guest at all. Since the last trip to Shouyang Mountain, when Li Mu was forced to put forward the idea of ​​integrating the three religions into one, there are not just one or two people in Taoism who have objections to him.

You don't need to think about it to know that this kind of secret information can be leaked, it must be the handwriting of the Supreme Saint.

For Taishang Shengren, the current effect should be very good. Although there were many criticisms from Taoist disciples, there was no substantial response. Even if he was being scolded, it was Li Mu who was being scolded.

This means that although everyone is somewhat reluctant, the resistance is not to the point of opposing to the death.

Otherwise, Li Mu would have been beaten with a sap long ago. Of course, there was a reason for not being troubled by the disciples of the Three Religions.

On the one hand, everyone was busy with conferring gods and killing robberies before, so they didn't have the time to care about these trivial matters; on the other hand, their fists were not hard enough.

In any case, it is not a good thing to be used as a chess piece for others, especially for someone like Li Mu who is used to being a chess player.

Now that the Supreme Saint came to him again, Li Mu had to think about it.

Right now, the sect is dying, and it can almost be regarded as exterminating the sect; as the victor, Chanjiao has just had a large-scale apostasy;

Even the group of monks who listened to Taoism in Kunlun Mountain in the past are now mostly on the list of gods. It can be said that the three religions of Taoism have reached a crisis of survival at this moment.

If no measures are taken to save it, it is a high probability event that it will decline.

But now the Tongtian sage can't hide from the world, and the original sage is also deeply involved in the public opinion storm of apostasy. Only the supreme sage, the boss, comes out to run.

It seems that in myths and legends, the unification of the three religions and the establishment of the Daoist sect happened after the conferment of the gods and the killing of the robbery.

Calculating the time, it's probably only a few hundred yuan. It doesn't seem like a big deal to prepare in advance now.

"Fellow Daoist Taihua, it seems that you don't welcome the poor Daoist?"

After hearing the words of the Supreme Saint, Li Mu became more depressed. It was obviously not welcome, but he had to put on another look on his face.

With the case of Fengshen Shajie, those who dare to directly offend the face of the saints are rare in the prehistoric world.

"The arrival of the sage makes the humble house luxuriant, how can Taihua not welcome it!"

It doesn't matter what you say against your heart, as long as what you do is not against your heart. Although he didn't know what happened in Zixiao Palace, Li Mu knew that the situation was very unfavorable to San Qing.

After the first battle of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the vitality of the prehistoric world was severely injured, and a lot of time was needed to lick the wound. If a saint stays for a long time, it will be a burden to the present world.

Regardless of whether Hongjun Daozu will issue a foot ban, the saints cannot easily set foot in the prehistoric, or the way of heaven will definitely make them look good.

Under the circumstances that the saints cannot easily make a move, it can be said that it is as difficult as heaven for the three religions of Xuanmen to keep their current interests.

The time is still short, and everyone still doesn't know the news that the saints have been grounded. The deterrence power of the saints has not yet dared to act presumptuously. It will be difficult to say in the future.

After all, the fire cannot be contained in the paper, no matter how the saints block the news, it will still leak out.

With the passage of time, the deterrent power of the saints has declined, and the great powers of all parties will inevitably take action.

After all, everyone stayed in Honghuang to seek Taoism. Qi luck merit must be fought for, and once an opportunity arises, no one will let it go.

As for the settlement of accounts between the saints after autumn, as long as they can prove Hunyuan, everything is not a problem.

If you can't prove the way, just run away. Drilling into the chaos, the saints can do nothing.

Against this background, the Supreme Saint, as the head of the Sanqing, must react.

"You don't need to think too much about it, there are two main things that Pindao wants to do here, so I won't embarrass my brother.

One is: after the Conferred God Killing Tribulation, the Taoist sect is on the decline, and Pindao intends to integrate the three religions and establish a separate religion, which needs the support of the juniors. In return, the younger brother can be my deputy leader under the sanqing.

The second is: the heavenly court is newly established, and there is still a lack of masters for the three religions in the heavenly court, so please ask the younger brother to be one of the six emperors. "

After hearing the words of the Supreme Saint, Li Mu had to admit that the conditions he promised were really generous, but the troubles were also equal.

It seems that the three religions are all in one, and the meaning of the Supreme Saint is obviously different from Li Mu's previous proposal. Such emphasis on establishing a separate religion is clearly implying the establishment of a separate sect.

Although I don't know exactly what happened in Zixiao Palace, I can tell from the actions of several saints that the relationship between the saints and Hongjun is definitely not harmonious.

Moreover, Patriarch Hongjun's binding force on the saints was not as strong as he expected. At least the saints still have the capital to resist now, and they are not completely at the mercy of others.

First of all, he was led by Yin and Zhunti to rebel against Xuanli Buddha, but now Sanqing couldn't stand it anymore, and he wanted to break away from Xuanmen.

It seems that in myths and legends, there is also a saying about the Taishang Daozu. If it is true, then most of the following Taoist sects do not belong to the Taoist sect.

He was chosen as the ancestor of Xuanmen martial arts, because the martial arts lineage occupies a dominant position in the secular world, and it is a powerful supplement to the three religions whose vitality has been greatly weakened.

From this point of view, we have to admit that the Supreme Sage was far-sighted.

With the decline of the teaching, most of the remaining disciples have no intention of preaching; the teachings are fragmented, and the rebels who apostate and the centrifuges are hard to be of great use;

Pulling into the lineage of martial arts is the best way to reverse the situation in a short period of time, so he even promised the position of deputy leader.

It's a pity that there is a precedent for burning lamps, and Li Mu is not interested in this position. You must know that there is only one leader in the Chanjiao, which made the Taoist Ran Deng burst into tears, but there are three leaders in the newly established sect.

As for the second matter, it seems to be giving Li Mu a favor, but it is actually implying that if you agree to the conditions, you can tacitly allow him to attack one of the great emperors.

After all, the Six Royals of Heaven are full now, if we don't kill one, where will we get the position?

There are many articles hidden behind this.

After all, the Taishang Sage was dissatisfied with the dominance of the Chanjiao family in the Heavenly Court, monopolizing the Gouchen Shanggong Emperor, the East Pole Qinghua Emperor, and the Antarctic Changsheng Emperor. It needs to be weakened.

In other words, Bo Yi Kao is not a member of the Three Religions, he is not considered one of his own, and can be replaced at any time.

Or is it because the Taishang Saint feels that these guys are not capable enough to play the role of checking and balancing Haotian, and they need to be replaced with a powerful one to block Haotian?

"Thank you sage for your kindness. This is because Taihua is used to idle clouds and wild cranes, and he is unable to bear these heavy responsibilities. Sage may wish to choose another virtuous person!"

After hesitating again and again, Li Mu chose to refuse. When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Before the situation is clear, he is not willing to be the first bird.

Even if you want to do something, you have to wait until it is clear that the saints have retired. The fact that the saints are unable to make a move at the moment is just his personal guess, which has not yet been confirmed.

Seeing Li Mu's refusal, the Supreme Sage laughed and said confidently, "Junior brother, you will agree!"

After finishing speaking, before Li Mu continued to speak, the Supreme Saint had disappeared from his sight.

That last sentence, which was vague and vague, directly made Li Mu uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.

...

In the heavenly court, looking at the gathering of immortals, Haotian was hit in the head before he had time to be happy.

There are manpower, but there are many factions below, and they don't listen to him, the emperor of heaven.

The most typical one is the first great court meeting. Gouchen Shanggong Emperor Tianhuang, Zhongtian Beibei Ziwei Emperor, Dongji Qinghua Emperor, Antarctic Changsheng Emperor, and Chengtian followed the example of Tu Huangdi. They only collectively stopped the imperial court and directly gave him a Get off your horse.

Cheng Tian imitated the Empress Dowager's land, that's all, that Empress Dowager really couldn't be offended, but why didn't the other four give face?

The Sifang Great Emperors sang against each other, and the disciples of Jiejiao and Chanjiao below also had their own circles, and the most numerous immortal gods of the human race also formed a circle.

Although there is the restriction of the list of gods, the problem is that both the list of gods and the whip of the gods have been withheld by the original saints, and Haotian has limited restraint on these gods on the list.

Unless you catch them violating the rules of heaven, it will be difficult to deal with them.

Every time Haotian wants to stand up, he will be boycotted by all parties, which often makes him feel ashamed. The government orders issued are also selectively implemented.

The internal strife is fierce and the internal strife is fierce, but the prestige of the Heavenly Court still resounds throughout the prehistoric world.

Being famous is not because of how powerful the Heavenly Court is, the key lies in the immortality of the gods on the list of gods.

With this amulet, it is undoubtedly telling the forces of all parties to keep their eyes open, otherwise you will feel better.

Of course, immortality must have restrictions. If the gods fall, they will have to pay a price to rely on the list of gods to be reborn.

What it is, the outside world does not know. Li Mu vaguely guessed that it might have something to do with Shinto, but he couldn't be sure for a while.

Originally, the struggle in heaven had nothing to do with Li Mu, it was just that the trees wanted to be quiet but the wind kept going.

Haotian is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp. After realizing that he was resisted by various forces, he decisively chose to retreat and hand over a large number of affairs to the Siyu for processing.

Among the four princes, Chanjiao monopolizes the three princes, and the other prince, Bo Yi Kao, who is also inextricably linked with them, soon fell into the target of public criticism.

The original alliance to resist the Heavenly Emperor quickly collapsed under the trend of interests.

The forces of all parties launched a vertical and horizontal alliance, and the heaven, which was supposed to be peaceful, suddenly became turbulent, like a court in the world.

However, the disciples of Chanjiao accounted for only a very small number of disciples in the Heavenly Court, and many of them were alienated from their masters, and did not work hard when they did things.

Coupled with the unequivocal resistance of the Jiejiao disciples and the support of various forces, the so-called four rulers ruled the world, and soon became the laughing stock of the Three Realms.

Not only did not get much benefit, but it was contaminated with a lot of karma.

Seeing things can't be done, the old fried dough sticks Dongji Qinghua Emperor Taiyi Zhenren and Antarctic Changsheng Emperor Nanji Xianweng decisively choose to throw the pot away.

Both of them flinched, and the remaining Ziwei Great Emperor Bo Yikao and Gouchen Great Emperor Lei Zhenzi would not be able to control the situation even more, and the rule of Chanjiao in the Heavenly Court would directly collapse.

Being out of the game temporarily does not mean being out of the game forever. For a powerful department like the Heavenly Court, it is impossible for all parties to give up easily.

After the defeat of the teachings, the internal struggle in the heaven not only did not subside, but intensified. The immortals and gods of the human race, who have always been neutral, soon became the core of everyone's contention.

Whether to stand in line or not is a tangled question. How to stand in line is even more a headache.

Li Mu has nothing to say about the heavenly court that has been played like this.

It can only be said that interests are touching, and it seems that they are fighting for power, but in fact what everyone is fighting for is resources.

It's just that this kind of resources are not secular yellow and white things, but merits, luck, spiritual things... and other avenues.
