"The so-called protector of the Tao, like the protector of Buddhism and Taoism, is a special fruit. This kind of Dao Fruit realm does not have to be high, but it requires strong supernatural powers. You can kill the enemy beyond the ranks, and you will not die in a hundred battles!"

Concubine Luo asked suspiciously: "I don't think Buddhism and Taoism have a strong protector?"

Shen Long said with a smile: "The Dharma protector is also hierarchical, and I have also carefully observed the Dharma protector of Buddhism and Taoism, so I have a mind, and the Dharma protector may become a kind of avenue in the future." ”

"Buddhism's Vajra, Arhat, and Ming Wang are actually Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, and Buddha's protectors, and the protectors of Taoism are not very clear, and there are some causes and effects with my heavenly court, that is, Liuding Liujia, Yellow Turban Lux, these protectors are all enjoying incense in the heavenly court, but practitioners can summon, and the cultivation is low, summoning Liuding Liujia, and Gao Shen summons Yellow Turban Lux, even if it is a saint, there is also a summoning Yellow Turban Warrior to do things. ”

Of course, Taoism and Buddhism must have cultivated more powerful protectors, the first of which is absolute loyalty, and the second is absolute strength, and the profoundness of even saints. ”

Ao Kun's face changed, and he exclaimed, "Saint combat power, how is it possible?"

The other women didn't believe it either, Shen Long blew casually and said: "How is it impossible, since you are a protector, of course you must have the ability to protect the path, according to my deduction, the highest level protector is an existence at the same level as the Dao Ancestor, so that it can be called this name, and those under this will become protectors." ”

"Just like the Buddhist Vajra is called the Dharma Protector Vajra, although it is a system of protectors, but it is not enough to be called a protector, of course, it can also be called a low-level protector. ”

Niu Caixia asked thoughtfully: "Your Majesty said that there is a protector system, that is to say, for the Great Dao, in addition to the inheritance system. Another Protector system?"

Shen Long sighed. Then he said: "This can be regarded as a kind of progress of the avenue, I firmly believe that this is a general trend." The Protector system will appear in every Supreme Avenue. ”

"In fact, before there was no Dharma protector and Dao protector, there was already a Dharma protector supernatural power, or a flying sword Dharma protector. Now it's just more systematic, Buddhism and Taoism are self-cherishing, or I'm waiting for the dark, I don't see the benefits of protectors for the avenue, I didn't expect that there are a few more protectors, and my Shinto is more perfect. ”

Nuwa asked thoughtfully, "What is the function of a Dharma protector or Dao protector?" Each avenue has its own Dao ancestor, but in fact, it seems that the Dao protector is also a bit redundant. ”

The women nodded, they thought the same way, and Shen Long explained, "No. Who can guarantee that Dao Ancestor will not fall? Even if he does not fall, if he is reincarnated and re-cultivated, someone must support him. That's where the apologists come in. ”

"Especially now that our Flood Desolation World Realm has become the Fourth Rank World Realm. Contact with the outside world is a matter of time and is inevitable. Even the immortal saint we talk about is not immortal and immortal, even if it is not killed, suppression, sealing, and serious injury are all possible, and the existence of a protector at this time is particularly objective. ”

"And even if the Dao Ancestor does not have these dangers, then the Dao Fruit Inheritance under the Dao Ancestor will always have a calamity, and the role of the Dao Protector and Dharma Protector can also be used to protect these inheritances from extinguishing and retain the fire. ”

In fact, the protectors of Buddhism and Taoism now exist to protect the lineage. ”

All the women thought about it and agreed with Shen Long's explanation, but Ruyi pondered for a moment, then stared at Shen Long and asked, "What is the price for them to become a protector?"

Shen Long smiled bitterly, he didn't ask about the benefits, he asked the price first, of course he knew that the women of the Dao were worried about Jiulongzi, although it was a little unreliable to give birth to them, but after all, it was his own son, he explained: "In fact, there is no price. ”

"There is no price?" the women obviously didn't believe it, "can you get strong combat power without a price?"

Shen Long smiled bitterly: "It's just that the cultivation is more difficult, is this a price?"

The women breathed a sigh of relief, and Shen Long comforted: "Don't worry, they are also my sons, how can they go astray, this Dao Protector system also has a set of Dao Fruit achievements, since they can't cultivate our inheritance, then simply cultivate the Dao Protector Dao Fruit, but this is not only hard, but also more dangerous." ”

"But I'm also saying that they will be cultivated as my top Shinto protectors, no matter what aspect they come from, they won't suffer, don't worry. ”

Nuwa suddenly thought of something, and asked Shen Long: "I remember that Yang Jian, the second brother of the cicada, is practicing the Taoist Dao Protector Divine Skill Nine Turns Xuangong, is he the Dao protector cultivated by the teaching?"

"Well, that's also Yang Jian's creation, I originally wanted to pull Yang Jian over, but it was obviously preempted by Yuan Shi Tianzun, but I don't lack it, twenty-one protectors are enough!"

There was a strong confidence in Shen Long's eyes, there was a fluctuation behind him, twelve golden lights fell behind him, and he knelt down to Shen Long, and when Hou Tu saw it, his eyes shone brightly, and he exclaimed: "Father God Essence Blood?"

Immediately, she looked at Shen Long with burning eyes, and Shen Long smiled slightly: "Yes, I got it unintentionally, it has been cultivated for countless years, and it is a pity to keep it, it is better to use it." ”

Concubine Luo glanced at the twelve Dao Protectors suspiciously and asked, "Isn't this the Twelve Golden Men of the Qin Dynasty?"

"Yes, I have a Pangu essence blood in my hand, and I fused it into the twelve golden people who gathered the gold of the world in Great Qin, and then tempered it with the Dragon Emperor Dao to give them life, and now their strength is almost in the early stage of quasi-sainthood. ”

The girls felt that their brains were not enough, Pangu essence blood, that was a drop of existence that could form an ancestral witch, Houtu looked at Shen Long excitedly and asked, "Could it be that in addition to our twelve ancestral witches, there is also the bloodline of the father god left?"

Shen Long shook his head and said: "Between heaven and earth, only twelve ancestral witches can appear, and this bloodline naturally has his vision, but I can't say it yet, this matter involves my life experience, and when the time comes, I will definitely inform you." ”

All the women nodded thoughtfully, Shen Long looked at the twelve golden people, and then said: "You are cultivating around the Lotus World Realm, as a protector, you should know your own duties." ”

The twelve golden people did not speak, and retreated silently, and then Jiulongzi came late, with a cheap smile on his face. Apparently understood the benefits of apologists. Shen Long snorted coldly, and Jiulongzi suddenly became serious: "Meet your father, meet your mothers, Wan'an !!"

"Wan'an?" Shen Long sneered. Then he said, "Lao Tzu is just uneasy, that's why I tied you little ghosts to Shinto." Otherwise, do you think that Lao Tzu doesn't want you to make a name for yourself? Just like Kong Xuan, when you see Lao Tzu, you are now all equal friends? It's not that you don't fight. ”

Nuwa lightly persuaded: "Forget it, now that they have become your protectors, what else should I do?"

"Hmph. Shen Long snorted, and then said, "You don't have to blame Lao Tzu for binding you, you can know that the Demon Clan Heavenly Court back then can be said to be destroyed in the hands of Emperor Jun's descendants?"

"Although the Lich conflict intensifies. But it was also that incident that became the fuse for the complete outbreak of the lich, causing the lives of all living beings in the desolation to be miserable. forsaken by heaven and earth. ”

"Remember. Become my son, that is the son of the dragon. Not only to bear the glory and honor of the dragon, but also to bear the corresponding responsibilities and pressures. You are not just a dragon, but the face of Shinto. ”

"The current strength of my mother and you can be called saints, and you are the holy son, luck is connected, you can't escape, if someone opens the way from you, you can calculate Lao Tzu. ”

Jiulongzi nodded with a serious expression, Shen Long was helpless in his heart, and he didn't know if they understood, anyway, every time they taught them, they had this face, waving their hands to make them retreat.

"You should know your duty, and in the future, you will also live in the Lotus World Realm, and you can always see your mother in the future. ”

I don't know if they heard it, anyway, when they saw them running away, they saw that the woman laughed, and at the same time gave Shen Long a blank look, in front of Jiulongzi, Shen Long never had a good face.

Shen Long looked at the void and thought for a moment, every avenue contains many Dao fruits, and those who cultivate and hope to achieve Dao fruits are called disciples, and there is no supreme avenue, they all have their own disciples.

In addition to disciples, there are also Dharma protectors, who are guardians in the righteous path, Venerable in the Buddhist way, and protectors in the Shinto way.

Shen Long's disciples, that is, those emperors, whether they are immortal or not, just like the three emperors and five emperors, the Dao fruits they formed are all reflected in the way of the Dragon Emperor, and there is the dragon clan, the dragon clan's cultivation of Dao fruit can also be reflected, as well as the Shinto people, in the Honghuang World Lu Realm, as long as they are the characters who have transcended the Dao of the Honghuang Shinto, they can also be regarded as having attained the Shendao fruit position.

Of course, these are also the places shrouded by Shen Long's avenue, just like the emperor, they are all protected by Shen Long's dragon qi, the dragon clan has been transformed into a divine dragon, and the immortals are also absorbing the incense of the heavenly court and cultivating the divine way.

When Shen Long was talking to the women about the protectors, suddenly a galaxy appeared in the void, and the immeasurable stars vibrate, alarming Shen Long, Shen Long and the women looked at it, but Ruyi smiled bitterly: "Don't look at it, my evil thoughts may be unthinkable in my heart, and I am angry in the heavenly court." ”

At this time, the luck of the Qin Dynasty was extracted by the death of Qin Shi Huang, and it was impossible to maintain the fortune of the country.

In the end, the prince of Great Qin, Fusu, was killed, and the princes of the world fought together, and the second died, and the world once again entered the situation of princes competing for hegemony, among which two characters emerged, one was the overlord of Western Chu, and the other was Liu Bang, the king of Han.

Born in a family of overlords, he can carry the tripod, the first bravery, invincible, he looks down on the three religions and nine streams, only believes in his own strength, and there is a sub-father Fan Zeng by his side, but he just thinks it is interesting, so he accepts it.

Liu Bang's brave martial arts is not as good as it, but Liu Bang knows how to make good use of it, he used the soldier Han Xin, the vertical and horizontal family Zhang Liang, and Xiao He, a merchant figure to dispatch the rear, and other hundreds of capable people, he and Qin Shihuang are all born recklessly, and there is a lot of contact with the three religions and nine streams.

Not only that, Liu Bang also planted a chess piece next to the overlord of Western Chu, this is Yu Ji, Yu Ji and Meng Jiangnu are general, they are all in the vein of lust, she is not love, but mourning, mourning is greater than heart death, Yu Ji is to mourn the Tao, and finally the hero of Chu Overlord is short of breath, under Yu Ji's offensive, he made many ridiculous decisions.

In the end, Yu Ji killed herself, mourning more than dying, she may have moved her mood under the care of the overlord, did not attain the Tao fruit, and was under the backlash of the emperor's luck. Fall into reincarnation.

In the end, it was under the siege of Liu Bang. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, failed, and Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty and became the successor to the Qin Dynasty. In the second imperial court, Shen Long's Dragon Emperor Dao suddenly took another step forward.

However, it seems to be a common problem of emperors, and they need the assistance of a hundred schools of thought all the time. However, he didn't like the disciples of the hundred schools, and after he ascended the altar and became the emperor, he came to "depose the hundred schools and respect Confucianism." ”

This exclusive respect for Confucianism is not that Liu Bang thinks Confucianism is special, but that Confucianism has produced a figure like Li Si in the Qin Dynasty. Become Yingzheng's most trusted courtier.

And this Confucian, there is also such a person, his name is Dong Zhongshu. He proposed a "three outlines and five permanents."

"Three Guidelines". It is the ethical relationship between people, and the "five constants" are the basic principles used to adjust the ethical relationship.

The "Three Guidelines" are the guidelines for the monarch and the ministers. The father is the son, the husband is the wife, and "impermanence" refers to benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith.

He described the Three Principles as the will of "Heaven" and endowed it with the authority of God; he used the idea of "Yang Respect and Yin Inferiority" to prove that the master-slave relationship between the Three Principles cannot be changed or reversed, and the hierarchical order of feudal rule was deified into the law of the universe; he applied the theological concept of the world to ethics and morality, and demonstrated the rationality and eternity of the theocratic power, imperial power, clan power, and husband's power of feudal rule, thus creating a theoretical basis for the Gangchang Famous Religion of feudal society.

Liu Bang felt that this Confucianism had a great effect on the emperor's rule of the country, so he had the appearance of deposing the hundred schools and respecting Confucianism.

This is also the progress of the Dragon Emperor's Dao, the evolution of the human court, will be reflected in the Dragon Emperor's Dao, and the hundred schools of thought will slowly evolve, and eventually become the most suitable existence for eternity.

For the Great Dao, there is no high or low, even if there are emperors and beggars on the surface, they are all clouds and smoke in the red dust, and in the end, it is still the realm of the Dao, and it is also the fruit of the Dao.

Some beggars can achieve the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit, and some emperors are just the end of reincarnation in their lives, so even if they are above the court, the courtiers who assist the emperor may also achieve merit that is higher than that of the emperor.

Of course, the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools, but only lowered their status, they still exist in all walks of life in the world, calligraphers, novelists, Taoists, Zen masters, merchants, soldiers, etc. are all looming in the world.

After the Han Dynasty, after more than ten generations, it gradually declined and was replaced by a new dynasty, it is worth saying that the piece of the heart of the sea that was thrown down by Shen Long, that is, the famous Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was carved by the Qin Dynasty and became the jade seal of the country, and was finally obtained by the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty fell, the jade seal of the country was broken by the queen mother of the last dynasty in a rage, and the next dynasty picked it up, and the corner of the jade seal was inlaid with a piece of gold, which is the world-famous "gold inlaid jade".

But in the mortal world, an inconspicuous mountain village, called Huoquan Village, there is a cowherd baby, riding a cow every day, a shepherd boy riding a cow, leisurely, this child is called a cowherd, is an orphan.

He lived with his brother, but his brother and sister-in-law planted the land left by his parents, on the grounds that he was still young, and the sister-in-law treated him badly, and gave him nine cows, but told him to bring back ten cows, otherwise he would never come home for dinner.

When he was worried and depressed, he met a sick old cow on the Funiu Mountain next to Huoquan Village, and he took care of it carefully, only to learn that the old cow was the Taurus Star in the sky, and was beaten down to the mortal world, and the Cowherd took him home to take care of him.

With the help of the old ox, his life gradually changed, at this time leisurely riding on the back of the ox, playing the flute, suddenly tired and sleeping on the grass, the old ox lying beside him, chewing the tender grass.

took a piece of grass in his mouth, looked at the sun and counted the stars, and said boredly: "Brother Niu, if I hadn't met your old man, I would still be suffering now, why am I idle now, but I am uncomfortable?"

Taurus, who was chewing, almost knocked out his teeth after hearing this, and thought: Ancestor, can't your old man call me that, if you awaken your fate, you can't pick my skin?

To say that this cow clan looks honest, but under the honest appearance, there is a restless heart, and he has always been resistant to being demoted, although now he seems to know the reason.

He rolled his eyes, then looked at the Cowherd and said, "Cowherd, Ancestor, I will take you to a good place." ”

Glancing at Taurus obliquely, the Cowherd asked, "Where is it, I am very familiar with this radius of a hundred miles." ”

"Really?" Taurus asked meaningfully, "have you ever been to the Fountain of Fire?"

Cowherd was so frightened that he sat up, his eyes widened and said: "Brother Niu, you won't harm me, it's dangerous, if you go in, you will offend the gods, the legend in the village, there is a taboo, your old man won't be demoted to the mortal, and your brain will be broken, right?" brother, I won't accompany you." ”

The Cowherd shook his head, and Taurus squinted at the Cowherd and said: "And, coward, it's just a formation, and it's also a phantom array, for mortals, entering it will produce illusions, and your legends are that they are frightened when they see the illusion." ”

"Who am I, old bull? I'm a Taurus, a mere phantom array, what can I do?"

The Cowherd asked with little interest: "Even if I go, what fun can I have?" Master, I don't want to be offended!"

Taurus smiled and said obscenely: "There is a fire spring in it, in fact, it is a hot spring, a strange thing in the world, if you bathe in it, the benefits are endless." ”

"What's in it for you?"

"At least it's good for the skin. ”

"The master doesn't want to be that little white face, he has a bad reputation. ”

"You don't like to take care of your skin, but some people want to......"

"What do you mean?"

"What if it's a fairy bathing?"
