Zhengyang Palace as the state religion of Great Chu, the ancestral court naturally could not be in the south, Li Haocheng went all the way to the north, and on the way saw many Taoist priests who worshiped Liuding Liujia, helping the people everywhere, this is not Su Shu's oracle, but their spontaneous actions.

It's funny that the majority of them, the compassionate Truthful who want to save the world, are limited by their own economic level and find it difficult to provide large-scale relief.

And those hypocrisies who are usually greedy for power and money, in order to get more incense and gods, saved many people who almost died under the snowstorm.

What's more interesting is that they have all gained divine favors, and their strength has also increased significantly, but in Li Haocheng's opinion, although the former's progress is not necessarily worse than the latter's, the gains of divine favors are not less than the latter's, but outsiders don't think he has any divine favors.

Attract the goodness of the heart, and reward the goodness of the heart? It seems that Su Shu is going farther and farther on the Shinto!

Li Haocheng sighed slightly in his heart, and couldn't help but think of one of the scattered stories recorded in "Xuezhai Variant" called "City God", which told part of the mysteries of Shinto through the mouth of City God: "The way of the gods lies in the heart and in the faith, so it needs to be important and focused, so it is the way of God, and there is a heart for goodness, although it is not rewarded." If you do evil without intention, you will not be punished for evil. ’

But it is important to note here that this statement is more about God than man.

After all, God and man are two different concepts, and the Chenghuang who said this is a god who manages ghosts, and his thinking angle is naturally different from that of humans.

As for what he is rewarding, according to Li Haocheng's calculations, it should be the merit of the self.

What is the merit of the self? The merit of the self is different from the merit of heaven and man after the blessing of heaven and earth and the condensation of the wishes of sentient beings.

There are many people who have explained it, and some people believe that humility in the heart is merit, and it is virtue to be courteous to the layman; it is merit to establish ten thousand dharmas in one's own nature, and it is virtue to detach one's mind and body from thoughts; it is merit to not depart from one's own nature, and it is virtuous to apply untainted application.

Some people also believe that merit refers to good deeds, virtue refers to good heart, sincerity refers to merit, supreme goodness refers to virtue, clear heart is merit, and insight is virtue.

It seems that everyone has a different interpretation of the merits of the self.

In Li Haocheng's view, the practice of breathing is merit, conforming to one's own heart and virtue, and one's own merit, to put it bluntly, is a kind of feedback obtained in the process of practice, conforming to one's own cultivation of the Tao, and being close to one's own pursuit of the Dao.

Therefore, there is a saying that 'if you have a heart for good, you will not be rewarded for good, and if you have no intention for evil, you will not be punished for evil'. Just because the rewards and punishments have always been there, there is no need for the city god to intervene, and the essence is a theory of the mind.

It is a pity that humanity is not suitable for the heart, people have seven emotions and six desires, and there is no saint in the world in the world.

Just as the Confucian sage Zigong ransomes people without taking money, his heart is extremely good, but he cuts off the way for others to follow suit, so that more people cannot be redeemed, is this good or evil?

Therefore, Shinto is about the heart, humanity is about deeds, and only by doing can the rich and noble families help more people for the sake of good results.

Of course, for monks, there is merit and merit if there is no intention to do good, and there is merit and merit for goodness.

As a deity, it is natural that we cannot fully promote the theory of argument and action, but we cannot dissociate ourselves from the theory of argument and action, and the grasp of the balance point is very important.

Therefore, when Li Haocheng found that Su Shu began to attract the goodness of the heart and reward the goodness of the heart, he expressed his emotion that he was going further and further in the Shinto.

Li Haocheng, who vaguely spied on Su Shu's progress, no longer paid attention to these Taoist priests and accelerated his progress, but when he was about to arrive at Zhengyang Palace, he made a special detour and watched the capital of the Great Chu Kingdom from afar.

I only saw that there was a cloud in the sky over the national capital, covering the country's qi, and if I wanted to study it carefully, it was chaotic and chaotic, and I couldn't see it clearly.

Li Haocheng knew that someone was covering up the country's qi, otherwise he would not be able to see the slightest bit of his strength, and he had a new estimate of the strength of the demon monk in his heart, suppressed the worry in his heart, and turned his head and walked towards Zhengyang Palace.

After entering the realm of Zhengyang Palace, Li Haocheng did not hide his traces, and was soon taken to Zhengyang Palace by the disciples of Zhengyang Palace.

At this time, there is still a period of time before the Righteous Path Conference, and the first to enter are basically scattered cultivators, and they are looking for a place to talk about the scriptures and the Tao, and no one came to Li Haocheng for a while, and he is also happy to be idle, that is, he found a place to spit out and polish.

I have to say that the ancestral court of Zhengyang Palace is much more abundant than the outside world, and it contains a yang and harmonious qi, which is very suitable for people who practice yang attribute exercises, and it is also quite beneficial to people like Li Haocheng who practice the Taixu Dao method.

After another hour or so, the representatives of the various forces began to enter in turn, and the first to enter were some small and medium-sized sects with the equivalent of the second turn monk of the Ghost Immortal Realm, and they sat in the corresponding seats under the leadership of a leader and the elder of the Taishang, and a scattered person like Li Haocheng, who had cultivated to a high level, was also arranged to take a seat at this time.

Then the major sects, such as the Miaoyin Shitai of Shuiyue Jingzhai, entered at this time, and then the Zhengyang Palace Zhangjiao and representatives of the Yuanfu Palace, Taiyuan Palace, Shangqing Palace, Yuanming Palace, Tushi Heavenly Palace, Zen Heart Palace and Wansheng Palace entered.

When these eight pillars of the righteous path representing the strongest forces in Middle-earth entered, it also meant that the righteous path assembly had begun.

At the beginning, it was the representative of the All Saints' Palace, a Confucian Confucian, who made an opening speech.

As a Confucian monk, even in the case of Xiao Kyushu's incomplete Taoism, every word he recites will still unconsciously attract the righteousness of heaven and earth, reverberating inside and outside the conference.

People who practice the righteous path exercises, and those who have a clear mind listen to it, they are naturally relaxed and happy, and their inspiration bursts out, and those who practice the exercises are pure, but those who are not right-minded listen to it, although they are a little upset, but they also have the effect of cleansing the soul.

As for those demonic monks who used secret techniques to manipulate secret demons to spy on the conference, they were all attacked because of the death of secret demons.

"The evil demons are outside, they just like to use these indiscriminate methods!" The face of the head of Zhengyang Palace is not very good-looking, as the organizer to let the secret demons mix in itself is a shameful thing, he waved his hand casually, and sent the filth left after the disappearance of those secret demons out of the conference, and said: "The purpose of this conference is twofold, one is the change of the six qi of the Middle-earth celestial phenomenon, and the other is the humane demon monk of cholera?

The great Confucian of the Ten Thousand Saints Palace just read for a while, and after sitting down, he was tasting the fragrant tea rewarded by the Zhengyang Palace, and when he heard this, he was the first to stand up and say, "This is a great good!"

Li Haocheng was a little surprised by the attitude of this great Confucian, and after listening to the discussions of the people around him, he knew that when the Great Chu Emperor was canonized as a national teacher, the first thing the demon monk did was to go to the Ten Thousand Saints Palace to discuss the Tao.

At that time, the six high priests in charge of the Great Ritual in the Ten Thousand Saints Palace were angry with him, and three of them were killed by the help of humane qi, and the Confucianism of the half-step Holy Realm was also broken by what he said, and they vomited blood and died, so that the authority to sacrifice to the gods and saints was snatched away by the national teacher, making the All Saints Palace a joke.

Therefore, among the many forces present, if you want to kill the national teacher of the dynasty the most, it must be the Wansheng Palace, and even the Zhengyang Palace, which is already in the same boat as Da Chu, does not hate this national teacher as much as the Wansheng Palace.
