Chapter 162: The Role of Merit and Faith
"I have already promised him the position of the head of the Four Saints of the North Pole, and further up, do I want me to give him the position of the Four Great Emperors? Even if I agree, the four Great Emperors will not make room for him. ”
The Jade Emperor's face was gloomy, whether it was for Sun Wukong or the Four Great Emperors, the Jade Emperor's heart was not very kind to see these people, for no other reason, these people did not obey him, and they didn't dump him as the Jade Emperor.
"Your Majesty, there are some things, it's not that those four people don't agree, you can't do it, how did you grasp the position of the head of the Four Saints of the North Pole in the first place, and now you can also replace the position of the Four Emperors with one. ”
The Queen Mother pondered for a while and said to the Jade Emperor.
"What do you mean by that?"
The Jade Emperor remained silent and opened his mouth to inquire.
"Your Majesty, not long ago, in the matter of the Tota Heavenly King, the Eight Achievements were made by Sun Wukong and some people within the Heavenly Court, with only one purpose, that is, to kill Li Jing. ”
The Queen Mother suddenly mentioned that Li Jing was chased and killed by Sun Wukong.
"Before, Sun Wukong went to the underworld again, and robbed the souls of those dead demon monkeys in Huaguo Mountain from the Infernal Hell, and personally supervised the Ten Palaces Yan Jun to open the six reincarnations, escorting these demon monkeys to reincarnate and reincarnate in Huaguo Mountain. ”
The affairs of the underworld, the queen mother is very clear, obviously in the underworld, there is an independent intelligence agency.
"Do you mean that Sun Wukong calculated Li Jing for the sake of the old accounts of the year, and wanted to put Li Jing to death?"
When the Queen Mother said this, the Jade Emperor immediately reacted.
"Yes, I think that's the case, this shows that this monkey's character is very resentful, so now in the heavenly court, there is a great emperor who will definitely be remembered by Sun Wukong in his heart, and he can't wait to get rid of it soon. ”
The Queen Mother said a lot of things, and finally pointed out the point.
"Antarctic Immortal Emperor!"
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother said the name of the Emperor in unison.
"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as you find an opportunity in the future to trick the Antarctic Immortal Emperor out of the heavenly court, and then send a message to Sun Wukong, do you say that this monkey, will you find a way to attack the Antarctic Immortal Emperor?
Our queen mother, who is usually graceful and luxurious and loving to all beings, is also extremely ruthless when calculated at this moment.
"No matter who makes the move, as long as the Antarctic Immortal Emperor dies, the position of one of the four emperors will naturally be vacant, and even if Sun Wukong does not accept His Majesty's recruitment, there are others who rush to accept it, one of the four emperors, isn't it firmly controlled by you, this is the best opportunity in thousands of years, Your Majesty." ”
The Queen Mother is right, even if you want to deal with the Four Emperors on weekdays, you have no chance, if today's machine is chaotic, there is an extra killing and robbery for no reason, and all living beings may fall, so you can have the opportunity to calculate the Four Emperors.
"Well, I see, you're right, let's just wait for the right time. ”
The Jade Emperor nodded, the one who usually disagrees with him the most is this Antarctic Immortal Emperor, once he has the opportunity to get rid of the Immortal, the Jade Emperor will never allow himself to miss it.
Not only on the Jade Emperor's side, but also when other forces knew that Sun Wukong defeated the three ancient witches and took the Western Regions of Beiju Luzhou in one fell swoop, they all had their own considerations and calculations, so they didn't say much.
What do outsiders think and do, Sun Wukong has no time to take care of it, for now, it is better to take care of the injury first and deal with the affairs of the Western Regions of Beiju Luzhou, which is the right way.
defeated Kuafu, Xingtian and Hou Yi, there was no power in the Western Regions that could threaten Sun Wukong, although Hou Yi escaped in the end, it would not affect the overall situation.
Originally, Sun Wukong wanted to kill Kuafu and Xingtian directly, after all, the hatred between the lich is huge, and these two ancient witches will not surrender to Sun Wukong when they die, and it is useless to stay.
As a result, when he was about to make a move, Sun Wukong suddenly felt a force that he had never seen before, which arose from all over the Kuafu tribe in the Western Regions, passed through the space, and finally converged on Sun Wukong's body.
This power is very gentle, and it carries a lot of information, and after Sun Wukong calmed down and read it, he was actually stunned.
It is the people of the Kuafu clan who sincerely pray to their ancestors Houtu clan, hoping that the Houtu clan will protect the Kuafu clan and protect the people of the Kuafu clan, which is actually the power of faith!
Because these clansmen prayed sincerely, and between heaven and earth, only Sun Wukong contained the blood of Houtu in his body, so the power of these pious beliefs finally converged on Sun Wukong's body......
If the people of the Kuafu clan knew that the power of their faith was finally integrated into Sun Wukong, who defeated the leader of his clan, I am afraid that they would all be angry and self-defeating.
After these powers of faith were integrated into Sun Wukong's body, Sun Wukong seemed to understand something, and then calmed down and retreated for three days and three nights.
On the fourth day, Sun Wukong broke through the barrier and smiled.
Lao Tzu finally understood why these ultimate bosses, the last of them all started sects and sects to educate the living beings in the world, and what they originally planned was this power of faith.
To put it simply, as long as you create a sect, or a country, or an organization, and then collect some living beings, help them open their spiritual wisdom, and teach some things, so that these living beings can follow the way of heaven and live better in the world, so that they can be grateful to you from the bottom of their hearts and regard you as faith, then every time these people pray or thank you in their hearts, it is possible to generate a wisp of faith power, and then these faith power will automatically break through the layers of space barriers, and feed back to the Buddha-figure.
These powers of faith, also known as the power of merit in Buddhism, are of great benefit to the deity!
It can not only enhance the comprehension of the deity, let the deity's path make great progress, see through the rules of the heavenly way, seek good fortune and avoid evil, but it is also an important criterion for the rules of the heavenly way to recognize you, only those cultivators who are full of faith power and immeasurable merit, the way of heaven allows him to become a saint and better benefit the world.
If you don't have the power of merit and faith, no matter how much you cultivate, you can only stop at quasi-sainthood, this is the rule of the Heavenly Dao.
Of course, there are always some special cases in the heavens and the earth, such as the Chaos Demon Ape who can break the rules by strength alone and prove the Tao with force, but the creatures living in this world today almost do not have this potential if they want to break the rules of the Heavenly Dao with brute force.
If it weren't for the power of faith that should have belonged to the Houtu clan after receiving it, Sun Wukong would not have been able to discover this secret at all!
Daozu Taishang Laojun created humanity, the primordial Tianzun founded the teaching, the Tongtian Sect Master founded the Interception Sect, and the two Western saints founded the Western Religion, and then these bigwigs taught their own cultivation exercises to educate thousands of living beings in the world.
Nuwa created people, refining stones to make up for the sky, Fuxi founded Bagua, Shennong tasted all the herbs, and Xuanyuan unified the human race, all these cultivators were also to snatch merit, so that they could be the first to be recognized by the Heavenly Dao and pave the way for their future sanctification.
Even the Netherworld Ancestor in the Netherworld Blood Sea, who wants to kill all the creatures of time, leaving only the blood sea vein, is also to benefit the people of the blood sea and establish merit, but he is taking a very extreme path.
From this point of view, the Holy Saint also has to integrate his own forces, and then perform the work of enlightenment, collect the power of faith, and prepare for the enlightenment of the Tao with the Dharma, in case it succeeds.
In this world, who doesn't want to be holy, Sun Wukong is naturally no exception.
