Chapter 208: Who's on the List
After figuring out the key to this, the most unhappy face among the six saints is Tongtian, in addition to Nuwa, Laozi, and primitive.
You must know that the most powerful in the current Heavenly Court is undoubtedly Ye Xuan, not to mention the military power in the Heavenly Court, there are also a number of sectarian disciples serving in the Heavenly Court. However, if the gods are sealed and Haotian's authority increases, then Ye Xuan's power will naturally decrease accordingly - although Ye Xuan doesn't care about these things, how can Tongtian, a teacher, be happy to see others snatching food from their own disciples?
And Nuwa and Lao Tzu's primitive unhappiness also comes from this. Needless to say, Sanqing is well-known for protecting shorts, but as for Nuwa, women protect calves, do you still need a reason?
However, if it is not happy, they can't refute Hongjun's words, so Lao Tzuai simply asked directly: "Dare to ask the teacher, how should this matter be carried out?
Hearing this, Hongjun said lightly: "On the list of gods, there should be three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods, as well as one deputy god. As to who will be in the throne of God, it is up to you to decide by your own deliberations. As for before and after the gods, they are immortals before they are gods, and they are gods after they are gods. Immortals, asking for immortals is the method practiced by the vast majority of people in the wilderness today. After being a god, he became a god, held a priesthood, enjoyed the sacrifices of all beings, and practiced with the power of incense from all living beings, but he could no longer practice the method of cultivating immortals. ”
Hearing Hongjun say this, the six saints' expressions all changed slightly. Although it seems that there is no difference between before and after the canonization of gods, maybe this is true for some people with ordinary talents and hopeless futures, and even for these people, maybe being canonized as gods can make them further in their cultivation, but for those who are extraordinarily talented, there is no doubt that the gods are putting a layer of shackles on them, so that they can no longer peek into the avenue. Although Hongjun said that after becoming a god, he could still practice with the power of sacrifice from all sentient beings, but with the eyes of the six saints, how could he not see the drawbacks in the middle?
And Hongjun didn't seem to see the look of the six saints, and continued: "During the canonization of the gods, when there is a person with a destiny in charge of the god list and presides over the affairs of the gods. Whichever religion this person enters, the matter of canonization of gods will be based on which religion. Prior to this, the god list and the god whip should be handed over to Lao Tzu for safekeeping. ”
After speaking, Hongjun glanced at the saints, left the god list and the god whip, and disappeared out of thin air.
Looking at the empty high platform, and then at the god list and the god whip in front of him, Lao Tzu sighed lightly: "The teacher means this, but he wants me to wait for the door to fill the position of this god list." ”
Hearing this, before Yuan and Tongtian could speak, Zhun Ti took the lead and said: "This matter has nothing to do with me in the West, and my senior brother and I will not be involved." "-Just kidding, he is already sparsely populated in the West, and it was not easy to accept a few talented disciples, if he fills in the god list again, won't they cry to death?
However, hearing Zhun Ti say this, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable snorted lightly: "Heavenly Court rules the Three Realms, and the matter of sealing gods is a matter of Heavenly Court, how can the East and the West say it?"
Although Tongtian didn't speak, he also glanced at Zhun Ti, obviously agreeing with the original statement.
Seeing this, the face of the guide became more and more sad, and he could see that although Sanqing Nuwa usually spoke one from the East and the West, but now that they have encountered such a flattering thing as being a god, they are saying that they want to teach the West anyway.
Seeing this, Lao Tzu thought about it and took the lead in saying: "This matter is related to the Three Realms, and it is naturally incumbent upon us saints. As a senior brother, I have to lead by example. It's just that I only have one disciple in Xuandu, but I can't bear to send him to the god list. Therefore, I will let my incarnation go to the list of gods, and I should understand this unique method of cultivating gods. As he spoke, Lao Tzu stretched out his hand a little, and the words Taishang Laojun appeared on the god list.
And seeing Lao Tzu's actions, even the two Western saints can't find fault with it - as Lao Tzu said, he only has one disciple under Xuandu, how can he not let Xuandu be on the list? Moreover, in order to set an example, Lao Tzu has sent his own incarnation to the list, who can say anything?
And after Lao Tzu wrote the name of Taishang Laojun on the list of gods, Nuwa hesitated for a moment and said: "This palace has not established a religion, and this matter has nothing to do with this palace, but the senior brothers have set an example, and this palace is not easy to stay out of the matter." Saying that, Nuwa wrote down the word Yue Lao a little on the list of gods, and said: "At the beginning, this palace was a matchmaker for heavenly marriage, and the red hydrangea was also contaminated with a trace of the law of marriage. I'll send a person to the list, and I'll be in charge of the marriage in the world. After speaking, Nuwa wrote more than a dozen names, but they were all inconspicuous characters in the demon clan to show her heart.
Seeing that Nuwa had written, the Primordial Tianzun hesitated for a moment, and also selected the names of more than ten disciples with mediocre talents among the three or four generations of disciples on the periphery of the Sect and wrote them. After that, Tongtian Taoist people followed suit, just because Tongtian has always advocated that there is no class, so there are many disciples, and Tongtian saw Lao Tzu leading by example, and the original also wrote more than ten disciples, so he gritted his teeth and wrote fifty or sixty disciples of the outer door of the second or third generation. In the end, when it was the turn to pick up the two of them, although they were extremely reluctant in their hearts, Sanqing and Nuwa both wrote, and the two gritted their teeth and wrote some names with blood in their hearts.
It's just that there are three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods on this god list, and now Lao Tzu has written one, Nuwa has written one, the original has written a dozen, the introduction Zhun Ti has written seven or eight, and Tongtian has written the most, there are fifty or sixty, but these add up to less than a hundred--but they have not even filled one-third of the places on the god list.
Seeing this, the Primordial Tianzun frowned, but he was the first to make a difficulty: "Two, these East and West have signed the God List, I, Dongfang, have written so many people on the list, but the two of them only wrote about these seven or eight people on the list, but what do you mean?"
Hearing this, Zhun Ti was about to argue, but was stopped by the lead.
sighed lightly, and then said with a sad face: "I am a vast and sparsely populated western region with a lack of talents, you all know that although Poor Dao and junior disciples have been committed to revitalizing the West over the years, they have not received many talented disciples. Moreover, at present, there are still more than half of the empty numbers on this god list, even if all my Western disciples are on the list, they can't make up for a fraction, so the majority of this god list still depends on a few disciples. However, in order to show my sincerity in the West, I will write some more people on the list. ”
As he spoke, he wrote more than a dozen names on the list of gods.
Hearing this, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable knew that what he was saying was the truth, and he couldn't really force Zhun Ti to send all the disciples to the list, so he could only give up.
It's just that the problem comes again, what should I do with the remaining places?
