Chapter 146 I am not the founder of Taoism, but should be called the ancestor of Taoism!



In the heavens, the fact that the Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole and the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole attacked each other yet restrained themselves did not seem to be a big deal considering their strength. In the past, they had fought against each other in the Heaven Beyond Heaven, and had also checked and balanced each other for various reasons.

But this time the attack was a little different, and it was because of someone else.

Therefore, it seems to have a strength and weight that exceeds that of the past.

The Emperor of Purple Star of the North Pole said very little about this matter, while the Emperor of Eternal Life of the South Pole said that it was just an accident and that the chess piece just slipped from his fingers unconsciously because he was too absorbed in thinking about the game. The immortals should not take this matter too seriously and should not think too much about it.

But the more the Great Emperor of the South Pole said this, the more insecure these immortals and gods felt.

You said it was an accident?

Who among us would believe it?

A person who stands at the top of the avenue, especially a person at the top of the avenue of immortality, would accidentally let the chess piece slip out of his hand while playing chess.

You are fooling around!

Even if you want to fool people, you should find a more appropriate one that seems more acceptable to others. Your reason is so crude and simple that you are simply treating us like fools. It is difficult for us to cooperate with you.

But even though they had thousands of distracting thoughts and speculations in their minds, the immortals still accepted the words of the Southern Pole Changsheng Emperor, and then they each looked for information to verify, infer and think, to judge the changes in the situation. In the Tianshu Court, the Justice Great Heavenly Venerable lowered his eyes slightly and said lightly: "...I see."

"Taishang Xuanwei is revered as the [True Martial Demon Emperor] by Zhongtian Beiji. He is considered to be a descendant of the Northern Emperor, or at least related to him. Now he is in the human world, participating in the Buddhist and Daoist calamities, making a big splash, and excluding all Buddhas from the human world. His momentum is extremely strong. I'm afraid that the Southern Pole Changsheng Emperor saw this scene, so he did such a thing."

The Great Lord of Justice lowered his eyes slightly and said, "The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole acts this way, huh..."

"I see. I see."

"It looks like he has suffered at the hands of Zhenwu."

"As a guard, he also participated in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, and most likely sided with Buddhism. Then the Zhenwu **demon directly blocked a key action of his, and his goal of accommodating Nanji Changsheng failed."

As the Great Lord of Justice, no matter what he did in pursuit of his own transcendence, his judgment and sharpness were still extremely strong. At this moment, he combined the Tianshu Academy's intelligence system that was spread throughout the six realms to sort out all these things.

All the immortals and gods in the surrounding Tianshuyuan were silent. This matter involved too many things and was too broad, so they dared not speak.

Only the Great Lord of Justice picked up his pen and wrote down his instructions in a concise and concise manner:

“No matter what the True Martial Demon’s reasons are, although he has never come to the Heavenly Court to take up a post, he is still honored by the Heavenly Court. Although he has no authority, he has fame. With this fame, others will think that he is a great general of the Heavenly Court who has come down to earth to suppress the human world, which is not justified.”

"It is unreasonable for you to not come to perform your duties but secretly borrow the reputation of Tianque."

"We should summon the Great Emperor Zhenwu **Demon to the Heavenly Palace."

"Or, dethrone him from his title of Zhenwu Demon Emperor!"

He pressed his seal on the scroll of jade paper.

Handed it over to the subordinate immortal official next to him.

Then he paused, picked up the pen again, and continued to write the second jade scroll slowly.

"All these things, I have explained. In this matter, the Southern Emperor Changsheng has violated the agreement he made with the Jade Emperor and personally participated in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism. This is an act that violates the order of the Heavenly Court. It should be reported to the Jade Emperor and severely punished. The Four Imperial Guards are the strongest. They were also the strongest who made an alliance with the Great Emperor Haotian to establish the Heavenly Court. If they are not restrained, the Heavenly Court will not be able to stand."

This jade scroll describes and discusses in great detail all the matters concerning the Great Emperor of the South Pole.

Then he looked at the jade scroll without any ripples in his eyes, and then he raised the seal and pressed it down.

At the same time, they wrote a letter to attack the two imperial guards in the South Pole and the North Pole. This made the immortal official a little stunned and hesitantly said:

"Great Lord, is this matter a little... a little inappropriate?"

The Justice Grand Lord said in a deep voice: "What's inappropriate?"

"No matter what, we have to maintain the order of the six realms. Zhenwu **mo does not perform his duties but enjoys the title, which is not in line with the order of the heavens. Although the Southern Pole Changsheng Emperor has returned to the throne, he wants to participate in the struggle of destiny in the human world. The immortals have seen it. If such things are not dealt with, where is the majesty of the heavens?"

"Where is the majesty of Tianshuyuan?"

"As immortal officials of the Tianshu Academy, we should enforce the law impartially. How can we be so afraid of death?!"

"Does that mean that ordinary immortal officials and clerks are supposed to take care of it, and that these powerful people can do whatever they want?"

The faces of all the immortals in Tianshu Court were slightly red, and they all felt ashamed for the worry, fear and cowardice that had just emerged in their hearts. The immortal official bowed and said, "I know I was wrong. Thank you for your guidance, Heavenly Lord!" Then he raised his hands, took the jade scroll, and left quickly.

Justice Tianzun lowered his eyes slightly: "Zhenwu... Beidi, Nanji..."

Maintaining order is his path and his persistence.

Whoever violates the covenant should pay the price.

Whether it is the immortals or the gods.

Or should I say the emperor, it’s Yu!

Jade Emperor, too weak!

An immortal official on the side couldn't help asking, with surprise and curiosity on his face, he bowed slightly and asked:

"Is this incident caused by the Zhenwu Demon Emperor?"

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the Great Lord of Justice.

I knew this was an opportunity, an opportunity to reveal that Taoist's hidden card.

The Jade Emperor personally issued an edict, honoring Taishang Xuanwei as the Great Emperor Zhenwu **Demon. There was no doubt that Zhenwu **Demon was the Jade Emperor's confidant. It would be a good thing to be able to break this Taoist's trump card, so he said in a calm voice:

"The Great Emperor Zhenwu **Demon gathered the destiny of the human world and transformed it into a barrier, forcing the Buddhas to retreat."

"If my guess is correct..."

"He should write a book and be called the [ancestor] of Taoism."

"If you are a Taoist disciple, you may call him——"

"【Nine Heavens Demon Master】."

Thus, the news that the Taoist had the aura of a Taoist founder spread everywhere, and all the immortals praised his skills and strength. However, it was also equivalent to that part of the Taoist's skills had been seen by others, so naturally a killer was missing.

Since he is the founder of Taoism, it is natural for him to have the means to mobilize Taoist incense and fortune.

Knowing this identity, if we want to target that Taoist, we naturally have many more means.

Within a few days, the two memorials submitted by the Great Justice Lord of Tianshu Academy and the title he gave unintentionally had spread throughout the Nine Heavens and Six Realms, causing a sensation. Almost all the immortals and gods were discussing this matter. Even the subordinates of the South Pole and the North Pole could not help but grumble in their hearts.

The Southern Emperor of Longevity lowered his eyes to look at the Tianshu Courtyard. Seeing this place with the most authority in the heavens, he naturally knew what the Great Justice Lord had done, but he just said indifferently: "He is very ambitious. He actually has the means to establish a name outside and cultivate tyranny inside."

"Drive the North Pole to control the South Pole, and encircle the immortals to isolate the Jade Emperor."

"I have the ambition to surpass the great qualities, to reach the highest heights, and to reach the highest heights."

Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun was astonished, and then he heard the last comment of the Nan Ji Chang Sheng Great Emperor:

"But I am incompetent."

The Great Emperor Changsheng asked, "Have you found Zhu Ling?"

Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun shook his head and said, "I don't know why, his aura seems to be much more restrained, and now the aura is changing drastically, and the aura in the world is moving violently. For the time being, it is difficult to find him without attracting the attention of the North Pole and the Judiciary."

The Changsheng Emperor said calmly: "Forget it, with his means, he will not die."

"Don't worry about him."

"It's Xuanwei."

The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole gazed deeply at the human world. If before, he only regarded this Taoist as someone who was qualified to become his enemy in the future, and now he was just a junior, he was a little more serious now.

It can be said that this opponent is finally worth opening my eyes and worth my attention to deal with.

But he doesn't really care about it.

“Even though it is possible to condense luck for a short period of time, the reason why this luck is condensed is only because the Taoist has written the Daoist Canon. This is an action, an action with enough force, like fighting against the waves, stirring up layers of waves, but it is only a one-time action.”

"The ripples will subside, the waves will disappear, and the influence of the written scriptures and Tibetan scriptures cannot last forever."

"After you left, it just returned to its previous state. It is still in my hands."

"You have only extended your life for another sixty years."

He said calmly: "Measure the luck of the world and become the aura of your Taoist master. What is the difference between what you do and what I do? What is the difference between what Buddhism wants to do?"

"What's the difference?"

"What a shame. What a shame."

The world was still prosperous. Even though the battle between Buddhism and Taoism a few days ago directly involved the Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole, one of the strongest people in the world, it did not seem to be anything special to ordinary people. As usual, the old blue ox returned to the young Taoist holding the three letters.

The Taoist flipped through the letters. These three letters came from his three teachers respectively, but they came from different places. After Qi Wuhuo read them, he put them on the table. Old Qingniu knew that this meant that Qi Wuhuo did not regard these three letters as something worthless.

The old blue ox couldn't help but be curious, and after struggling several times, he finally took a look.

I discovered that they were reply letters from the three Taoist ancestors. I didn't even need to look at the signatures to intuitively identify the writers of each of the three letters. The letter from Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun was vast and unrestrained, and he was not at all stingy in praising his disciple, as if he wanted to praise this young Taoist to the sky!

Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun praised him in a restrained manner, with only a few short words.

Afterwards, he pointed out various things and said that someone in heaven had revealed what he had done, and that he needed to be on guard.

Tai Shang is a simple form of praise.

But no matter which Taoist master mentioned the title of "Ancestor", and recognized and boasted about it, Old Green Ox had followed Tai Shang for such a long time, so he naturally knew the weight of these two words. He was immediately very happy and said, "Ah, Wuhuo, Second Master, you have become the Ancestor, haha, this is incredible!"

"In a few hundred years, when you come down again, will you be able to see your statue in the Taoist temple? There will also be Taoist priests, old and young, burning incense for you and calling you the ancestor."

"Hahaha, maybe there will even be people who kneel down and do obeisance to you."

The old blue ox could not help but laugh out loud, his laughter was hearty and he was really happy for Qi Wuhuo. The Taoist looked at the letter from his teacher and learned from it that the name of his ancestor had spread throughout the heavens. Qi Wuhuo looked at the fortune of the human world and shook his head, saying, "Ancestor?"

Old Qingniu saw the look on his face and asked, "Wuhuo, are you unhappy?"

"This is the founder, and he is recognized by the Three Pure Ones. I don't know how many people will become disciples in front of your statue in the future!"

Qi Wuhuo thought for a moment and asked, "I am happy, but if that's the case, then isn't there any difference between what I do and what the Buddhists do?"

Old Qingniu said: "This..."

He thought for a moment and said seriously, "One is for plunder, the other is for shelter, so they are naturally different."

"Besides, what can you do?"

Qi Wuhuo replied: "Maybe there is."

"As I said before, the world is too big, and the years and generations are endless. This is not something I can reverse alone, nor can I protect or save alone. I am also a human being, and I also believe that after me, there will be countless generations of people like me."

The Taoist looked at the scenery outside, paused, and said, "Actually, I have thought about this as well. Should I follow this momentum and write down my understanding of the Tao in one go? Then, I can use up all my luck in the world on this Taoist Canon. In this way, I should be able to have another [Dapin] ritual, right?"

There is one more, the Great Ritual.

Old Qingniu's face trembled violently.

I felt like I was stabbed hard in the heart.

He said, "This is the Great Ritual. Don't you like it?"

Qi Wuhuo said seriously: "It's not that I don't like it, I just feel that I shouldn't take this luck, so I thought about it for a long time and came up with a solution."

Old Qingniu thought that he was indeed a stubborn person, and asked with a smile:

"What is it?"

The young Taoist thought seriously and replied:

"This luck is collapsing and converging inwards. Dipping it into ink is my Enlightenment Sutra. But what if it spreads outwards?"

"Spread out a little, but don't disappear completely, leave some for others."

Old Qingniu couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Fix the luck but don't use it yourself, but leave it to others?

You don’t want it anymore?

Such a great opportunity!

Qi Wuhuo said:

"Just as I thought before, what I did was not to complete the whole task in one go, but to make a beginning. After me, there will be people in every generation who will continue to accomplish such things. I have thought it through. The city wall is not a barrier to protect the human world, nor is the Dharma lineage, nor is the Taoist scriptures. Talents are."

"I don't want to be the founder of Taoism."

"I want to set a precedent and ensure that there will be living water for generations to come. Uncle Niu, what do you think? If I use this sutra as a starting point, it would be like opening the first hole to let the water flow in. If the latter leaves the position vacant, then according to the way of man, will there be more talented people in the future?"

"These people will not be confined to the scope of Taoism. They will explore the four directions of heaven and earth and widen the course of this river bit by bit?"

The smile on Lao Qingniu's face gradually froze.

He looked at the young Taoist in front of him.

Set a precedent for the people?

Old Qingniu suddenly realized something——

What he is seeking is not the Taoist master? !

The old blue ox subconsciously said: "You want, how can you do it? The destiny of humanity has been stimulated to this level. It is stimulated and it is not eternal. It will slide down!"

"If you don't freeze them, they will gradually disperse, and then it will be too late! I know what you are thinking, but now there is no other way except to finish writing the Taoist scriptures and use the words of the Taoist scriptures to freeze this destiny."

"some!"

"have."

The young Taoist answered, he raised his hand, pointed outside, and said confidently: "The destiny of humanity is surging. If you want to stop it, you don't have to use my Taoist scriptures. The sky carries the earth, and the sky cannot be relied on, but the earth can be used for strength. I can use the veins of the earth to try to stop the destiny of humanity for a short period of time."

"I have informed the mountain gods of Mount Tai."

"We should take the stone containing the earth veins under Mount Tai, cast a monument [Nine], and set it up among the gods in the world."

“Waiting for the day when those who come after us will fill these nine stone tablets with their own teachings and understandings.”

Old Qingniu was stunned, looking at the Taoist standing at the door of the storage room, watching his black hair shining slightly in the sun. It seemed so far away and unbelievable, but he could only hear the firm voice:

"In that case, even if I leave, this long river will not be cut off, and the luck of the human world will continue. This is much better than me swallowing up the luck of the human world to achieve my own goals. If this is possible, even if I don't become a Taoist master, it doesn't matter."

"But I will write a letter to inform the teachers that my disciple has not been able to achieve the status of a patriarch."

"I have let the teachers down."

"It's just that a person swallows the air and luck to achieve his own way; and I use my way to pave the way ahead and give those who come after me an opportunity."

"I choose the second one."

"I hope to open up a new path for the people, and I will throw out some ideas to inspire others."

Old Qingniu looked at the Taoist for a long time without saying a word. He slowly exhaled and murmured:

"You are setting a precedent and establishing nine monuments for one religion. Are you going to become the ancestor of Taoism or the leader of a religion?"

"Daozu?"

The Taoist just thought it was a joke.

When the name of [Nine Heavens Demon Patriarch] spread throughout the heavens, and when his teacher was delighted that his disciple had achieved the title of Patriarch, this Taoist walked forward, looked at the world, and then pointed his finger at the sky, saying calmly:

“If we say that we open a path for those who come after us and leave them with hope for the future, that is what we call ‘opening the way’.”

"So, I am the Taoist Patriarch, so what?"
