Kunlun Mountain, in the main hall of the Yuxu Palace, the head of the Sect of Interpretation, Yuan Shi Tianzun, is sitting in the middle, closing his eyes and cultivating.

Suddenly, a clear voice came from outside the door: "Disciple Jiang Shang, I have been summoned by my teacher to come to see you." ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun slowly opened his eyes and said lightly: "Come in and talk." ”

A figure walked in, but it was Jiang Ziya, and after he bowed to Yuan Shi Tianzun, he said, "I don't know what the master called the disciple to come to, what are the instructions?"

Yuan Shi Tianzun said: "Ziya has been wanting to go down the mountain for two years, but I don't allow it, do you know why?"

Ziya lowered his head and said: "It must be that the disciple's comprehension is too poor, and his cultivation is low, which disappoints the master." ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun shook his head and said: "That's not the case, although your Dao cultivation is the worst among all the senior brothers, but in the art of war strategy, you are the only one in the door who can peek into the doorway, which shows that you are not poor in understanding, but your talent is not here." The reason why I didn't allow you to go down the mountain before was just that the opportunity had not come, and I rushed down the mountain, just afraid that it would be a blessing or a curse for you. ”

Ziya hurriedly said: "Disciple, thank you for your support." ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun continued: "To this day, do you still want to go down the mountain?"

Ziya said: "The disciples are all arranged by the master. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun nodded and said, "Now, your opportunity is just right, and you can go down the mountain in the near future." ”

Ziya saluted and said, "The disciple respectfully obeys the master's orders. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun said again: "Before going down the mountain, I still have something I want to ask you. The last time you went down the mountain, the teacher had a task for you, but you didn't want to complete it, and I didn't blame you, but now more than five years have passed, can you figure it out yourself?"

Ziya muttered: "The disciple is stupid, and he still can't understand this matter. That Su Da herself is really not a villain, and she still doesn't hear the world talk about her evil deeds, and the disciple really doesn't understand why the master ordered the disciple to kill her back then. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun sighed: "Ziya, you are familiar with the history books, don't you still understand? Many of the evil things in the world are not committed by evil people, and many of the evil consequences in the world are not caused by evil deeds. I asked you to get rid of Sudaji, not because of his evil deeds, but because of his evil consequences. ”

Ziya frowned and said, "The disciple can't figure it out, so please ask the master to make it clear." ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun said: "The sixth lord of the previous dynasty, Du Kang, do you know?"

Ziya said: "The disciple naturally knows that Du Kang is the lord of the sixth generation of the Great Xia Dynasty, and when he was born, it was when the Xia Dynasty was in turmoil, so he was diligent since he was a child, and finally returned to the country. After the restoration of the country, this Du Kang observed the people's will, was diligent and loved the people, and was really a godsend. And when it was down, it used to make wine with straw, which can be said to be praised through the ages. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun nodded and said: "Ziya is really familiar with history books, then you say, is this Du Kang a good person or an evil person?

Ziya said: "Du Kangshi is a rare Ming Jun in Great Xia, he is naturally a good person, and what he does is naturally a good deed. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun sighed: "Then do you know that the wine it makes, although it is spread all over the world, it is extremely expensive to eat and people's power, because the wine is a thing, it can be said that it has been starving all over the land for hundreds of years, and the people who died, even if it was the tyranny of Xia Wei, were far from comparable." Tell me, are these evil consequences caused by what Du Kang has done?"

Ziya was a little speechless when he heard this, and he said after a long time: "The disciple thinks that this matter is not what Du Kang wants, and he should not be blamed." ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun said again: "Then according to what you said, who should be blamed for these evil fruits, this endless unjust soul? If Du Kang was killed early in the morning, then there would be no wine in the world, and there would not be so many unjustly killed people, do you think so?"

Ziya was silent for a long time before he said: "The disciple understands what the master means, it's just that Su Daji, but just a mortal, is it like Du Kang, it will cause evil consequences for the ages?"

Yuan Shi Tianzun nodded and said: "That's right, if today's machine is chaotic, the development of the world is unpredictable, such chaos, all because of this woman, the evil consequences have appeared now, where do you have to wait until later?"

Ziya frowned and said, "That disciple went down the mountain this time, do you want to get rid of this woman?"

Yuan Shi Tianzun shook his head and said: "That's not necessary, Senior Sister Nuwa personally killed her that day." Now I want you to go down the mountain, but I have more important things for you to do. ”

Ziya heard that Huang Xue was dead, and suddenly felt a little sorry in his heart, but he was also relieved, and hurriedly said: "But according to the master's orders, the disciple must do his best." ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun said: "Now there is a person in Chaoge City, who is extremely critical to today's general trend, and I need you to find this person." ”

Ziya said: "I don't know who the master is talking about?"

Yuan Shi Tianzun said: "This person has a great reputation, you must have heard of it, it is Xibo Hou Jichang." ”

Ziya said: "The disciple does know this person, this person is the lord of Xiqi, good at political affairs, loves the people like a son, is a generation of virtuous marquis, I don't know what the disciple asked to find this person?"

Yuan Shi Tianzun said: "If the general trend is today, it will affect the whole body, and Ji Chang is the key to it." Now that Ji Chang is under house arrest and in Chaoge City, you need to get close to him, find out his true intentions, and see if he has any resentment against Dashang and the current Shang King in his heart. ”

Ziya exclaimed: "For example, among the four princes today, the Eastern Bohou and the Southern Bohou have all been anti-Shang, what does the master mean that this Xibohou is also anti-business now?"

Yuan Shi Tianzun shook his head and said: "If the opportunity is not clear today, I don't know, so I asked you to go down the mountain to find out about this matter." ”

Ziya groaned: "If he has a rebellion, what should the disciple do? If he is still loyal to the court, what should the disciple do?"

Yuan Shi Tianzun said: "If he has a heavy grudge in his heart, you need to save him from Chaoge as soon as possible, if he has no resentment, you have to find a way to make him resentful." ”

Ziya exclaimed: "Master, what does this mean? Xiqi soldiers have enough food, so wouldn't the world be in chaos? I am afraid that it will go against the norm if I persuade loyal ministers to rebel like this? How can a disciple do such an evil thing when he is taught by his master?"

Yuan Shi Tianzun said: "After the chaos, there will be great governance." Have you forgotten what happened to Du Kang again? If you do good deeds, you may get evil results, but if you do evil for a while, you may get good results. Now that the number of big business has been exhausted, even the luck of the world has begun to dissipate, and it is necessary to change the dynasty to be the blessing of all the people in the world. We, the people of the Heavenly Dao Sect, must give up the temporary honor and disgrace, conform to the will of Heaven, and seek a good fruit for all the people in the world, so as to do the right thing for the heavens. ”

Ziya frowned and said: "The disciples of the Heavenly Dao have not yet been able to comprehend it, but acting like this, the disciples finally feel that something is wrong, and I ask the master to allow the disciples to consider one or two." ”
