500 The Sufferings of the Upper Clearing

The words of the Shangqing sage were righteous and strict, so that everyone had no room for refutation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Indeed, no monk, not even any living being, is willing to give up his position of independence and freedom to unnecessarily obey or follow another being or monk.

Everyone couldn't, so they had to sit for a while after the Shangqing sage made their position clear, and then under the leadership of the two sages Taiqing and Yuqing, they said goodbye to the Shangqing sage, left the Ten Thousand Immortals Array, and returned to the coalition camp.

Things have reached this point, and it seems that it can only be decided by a vicious battle whether it can break the Great Array of Ten Thousand Immortals, whether it can overthrow the Shang State, and whether it can make the humanity successfully established.

Everyone's mood was relatively low, and after discussing it in the big tent and finding that there was no other way than to fight hard, they each returned to the tent to rest, preparing to adjust their state and concentrate everyone's strength to attack the ten thousand immortal array.

The two saints, who had just returned to the tent and were sitting cross-legged and pranayama with their eyes closed, as well as the guide and Zhun Ti, suddenly opened their eyes, as if they had been disturbed by something.

A moment later, the figures of the four disappeared from the tent.

On another unknown hill not far from the coalition camp, the Shangqing sage sat at a stone table, pouring himself a drink, his brows furrowed and a bitter expression on his face.

On the stone table, there is also a pot of fine wine, four jade cups and a plate of melons and fruits. Around the stone table, there are also four stone benches. Obviously, the Shangqing sage was waiting for someone to come.

There was a fluctuation in the air, and four ripples like water waves rippled, and the figures of Taiqing, Yuqing, Jieyin, and Zhun Ti appeared freely and appeared next to the stone table.

There was no need for the Shangqing sage to greet them, and the four of them sat down naturally.

The Shangqing sage hurriedly got up and carried the pot and poured wine for the four visitors.

The four of them did not raise their glasses, and the eight eyes gathered on the sullen face of the Shangqing Sage, quietly waiting for the Shangqing Sage to say the intention of calling them to come.

The Shangqing Sage also sat down, his entangled gaze wandered, he pondered for a moment, sighed bitterly, and said: "Tongtian invited two brothers and two Daoists to come this time, I want to ask a few of my subordinates to show mercy when the formation was broken, and let go of my four major disciples and the three thousand eight hundred apprentices of the Heavenly Division. ”

As soon as the words were spoken, the scene immediately fell silent. The four of them really didn't expect that the arrogant Shangqing Saint in the Ten Thousand Immortals Great Array would say such depressing words as soon as he opened his mouth.

The four of them didn't know how to speak.

After a long time, the Taiqing Sage hesitated and said, "Tongtian, what are you talking about?" ”

"On our side, there is no way to break your Ten Thousand Immortal Array, how can you say that? Seems like you have a lot more faith in our side than you do? ”

The Shangqing sage smiled bitterly and shook his head: "People know how expensive they are." ”

"Tongtian knows that this Great Array of Ten Thousand Immortals will definitely be broken. I have not yet been arrogant enough to think that the strength of the sect is strong enough to compete with the entire desolate world. ”

The quote interjected: "However, so many of us are discussing and discussing, and we are still at a loss, and we don't know how to deal with the Ten Thousand Immortals Great Array." ”

The Shangqing Sage smiled bitterly again and said, "Teacher Kong Xuan, there must be many ways to deal with my Ten Thousand Immortal Great Array. ”

"There is also the Heavenly Court, which is in charge of the operation of the world, and there must be a way to deal with the Ten Thousand Immortals Great Array."

"I think it won't be long before someone will come to help you break my Ten Thousand Immortal Array."

"So, Tongtian had to come and ask everyone for mercy in advance."

The Taiqing Sage frowned again and said, "Since you know that the Great Array of Ten Thousand Immortals will inevitably be broken, your sect disciples will inevitably suffer heavy casualties when the formation is broken, but why don't you say that you will lead your disciples to get out when the formation is broken, and only ask for the four major disciples and three thousand eight hundred disciples?" ”

The face of the Shangqing saint became more and more bitter, and after taking a sip of wine, he sighed: "It's all Tongtian's fault!" ”

"At the beginning, when Tongtian was establishing his teaching, he wanted to emulate Master Hongjun's practice of teaching without class, declaring that as long as anyone who is interested in practicing can go to Jinao Island to listen to the teaching."

The four of them nodded: "We all know this, otherwise you wouldn't be a disciple like a cloud." ”

The Shangqing Sage continued: "Later, Tongtian realized that Tongtian was wrong! ”

"It's easy to say, but it's a lot of hard to do!"

"Teacher Hongjun has a saying: Taoism is natural. The living beings in the world are nourished by nature, and the Tao contained in them and is most suitable for them is not more than 3,800! ”

"All things should have their own freedoms and their own path of development, and they should not be imposed by others."

"By the time Tongtian realized this, there were no less than 100,000 creatures of all kinds who came to Jinao Island to listen to the sermon!"

"These creatures who come to listen to the sermon are of mixed quality, although they all come to hear the sermon, but their cultivation and comprehension of the morality are not the same, and naturally they continue to engage in right and wrong every day, making the entire sect of the sect miserable and disturbed."

"After Tongtian woke up, he used various names and means to expel many living beings from the island, but in the end, more than 10,000 people remained."

"Among the more than 10,000 nominal disciples, in fact, only my four major disciples and 3,800 Heavenly disciples are suitable for practicing in the sect and the morality of the sect."

"Those three thousand eight hundred Heavenly Disciples, I secretly asked Duobao and them to integrate."

"The remaining 7,000 or so disciples are not suitable to continue in the sect."

"However, those more than 7,000 disciples, because their own cultivation realm is not enough, they cannot comprehend the morality that suits them, and because they have a very strong heart for the Dao, they are unwilling to leave the sect, so Tongtian cannot expel them without reason."

"Therefore, Tongtian thought of such a way, by swinging the Ten Thousand Immortals Great Array, and sacrificing some of his disciples in the Great Array."

Speaking of this, the Shangqing Sage shed two lines of tears, choked up and continued: "It's not that this is a ruthless heart, it's just that if we don't sacrifice these disciples who are not suitable for the sect, my sect will definitely collapse and dissipate because of the impurity of the overall doctrine!" ”

"Leaving them behind can only be the result of causing the entire desolate world to suffer even greater losses due to the collapse of the Sect."

"Tongtian can only endure the pain, give up the small and take care of the overall situation."

There was silence again.

After a while, the Taiqing Sage said again: "What about the remaining seven thousand or so disciples? Are their lives about to fall in the Great Array? ”

The Shangqing sage said bitterly: "So, Tongtian has come to find two brothers and two Taoist friends from Cheeky Face." ”

"It's not easy to practice, they have worked so hard for so many years to practice to get to where they are now. But because of Tongtian's selfishness, they are faced with the result that they are lucky enough to escape from their souls, reincarnate and rebuild, and their unfortunate souls are destroyed. Tongtian is also related. ”

If a few of them can have a place in the teaching, a few people can accept them and incorporate them into the teaching; If a few people don't look down on it, please also ask a few noble hands to raise their hands, so that they can have a chance to reincarnate and rebuild, or be on the god list. ”

Taiqing and the other four nodded: "It's okay too." ”

Then he said: "In this case, when I established Buddhism, there should be 3,800 places that could be reserved for the disciples of the saints of the Shangqing Dynasty. ”

The Shangqing sage hurriedly thanked him.

In this way, a piece of the heart of the Shangqing saint was also roughly calmed.

After that, the five of them no longer had the heart to sit and taste wine, and left after saying goodbye.

The next day, in the camp of the coalition army, two powerful men, a man and a woman, came together. (To be continued.) )
