Chapter 1492 The Way of Monarchs and Ministers Dialogue with Lao Tzu

Why do you say that if Patriarch Bodhi is Guiguzi himself, then everything makes sense? This still has to start with Guiguzi's identity.

Although it is said that Guiguzi is the originator of the strategist and the great sage of the strategist. But if we really want to talk about the source, he is still a Taoist. The book "Guiguzi" written by him has a heavy shadow of Taoism. And if we want to talk about his works, then he has to talk about his "Seven Techniques of Yinfu in the Classic".

Yinfu is a synonym for Taiyi, Qimen, and Liuren in Taoism. It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that it can know all the variables in the past and the future. But reversing yin and yang, forming a universe of its own, is not a problem at all. As the highest scholar of Huang-Lao Taoism, Gui Guzi, one of the representatives of the Taoist Huang-Lao lineage, must be proficient. And if he really intends to close the mountain gate tightly to prevent all disturbance from the outside world. So with his attainments in this area, I am afraid that ordinary gods really have no way to find the location of this powerful mountain gate.

But having said that, this is not the reason why Zhou Yi can easily let go. The most common thing is to look at the face of the four imperial emperors and let him go temporarily.

In any case, he was sure to find Gu Yi. Therefore, visiting this Guiguzi, Patriarch Bodhi has already been put on the agenda. Although he wished to take action immediately, but knowing the priorities, he did not do so.

Immortals and Buddhas all over the sky, and demon kings all over the world have already gathered in the heavenly court. If they release their pigeons at this time, even if they are deterred by their majesty, they may not dare to say anything. But in private, that kind of resentment is definitely not less.

Mencius said that if the king regards his ministers like brothers and feet, then the ministers will regard the emperor as his heart; In the final analysis, the way of monarch and ministers is based on mutual respect. Zhou Yi didn't regard them as pawns, thinking that they should be completely at his mercy. So at this time, he showed the respect an emperor should have for his subjects.

Putting aside the most anxious thing in his heart temporarily, Zhou Yi planned to follow the plan. Go to the place where the court officials are entertained. But before that, he still needs to warn Si Yu and Lao Tzu.

"Several emperors, let's put this matter aside for the time being. The time is almost here, and I think those guests should be impatient. So, should we also drive to meet with those guests? I I think at this time, the opinions of several emperors should be the best reference for many people who are vacillating. After all, not everyone can see the situation clearly. Instead of seeing the situation clearly, they stand in the wrong direction and cause In the end, some unnecessary sacrifices were made. Then it is better to let a few of you set an example now, and point out a clear path for others. It will be considered as less murder for the heavenly court and more merit for yourself. I don't know how many people, what do you think!"

Such words are not so much a negotiation as a coercion. But in the face of this coercion,

Even if they are the four imperial emperors, the few people with the highest status in this world are simply unthinkable. A powerful Emperor of Heaven can coerce the heavens. Moreover, the power of Zhouyi itself is far above those previous emperors. No matter from which angle you look at it, they are unlikely to resist. So at the moment, they can only agree with some helplessness.

"What the Great Tianzun said is very true, and he should point out a clear way for them."

"Then let's drive. Laojun, you and I can sit together in the same chariot. I happen to have many questions that I need to ask Lao Tzu first."

Lao Tzu, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb all this time, watched Zhou Yi burn the fire on his own head. He was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately smiled.

"The Great Heavenly Venerable has a request, and the old man will naturally obey. I just don't know, what is the Great Heavenly Venerable, and he needs to ask me, an old man, for advice?"

"This, I'll talk about it later!" After a haha, Zhou Yi summoned the left and right envoys.

As the emperor of heaven, as well as the four emperors of heaven. The ostentation that several people should have is naturally indispensable. After all, this is related to the majesty of the heaven, the orthodox authority of the gods, and there is no room for sloppyness. So for a while, only bells and gongs were ringing, and the gods were magnificent. In the front there is a golden armored god opening the way, and in the back there is Jiao'e of the fairy palace holding the umbrella cover. The real dragon pulls the cart, and the flying phoenix supports the chariot. The colorful clouds accompany the driver, and the golden rainbow clears the way. It is a vast area, even if it is a hundred miles away, it is enough to see its majesty.

The ostentation evolved over thousands of years is really impressive, but Zhou Yi didn't put his mind on it at all. Because at this moment, he is already concentrating on the old man beside him, as if just looking at him is better than countless people in the world.

It's ridiculous to say this, after all, as long as he is a healthy man, he probably wouldn't have such a view on such a dying old man. However, if this old man is the number one wise man in thousands of years of Chinese culture and the founder of Taoism known as a sage, Lao Tzu, then everything is in the past.

If wisdom is regarded as the greatest wealth of human beings, then Lao Tzu himself is undoubtedly the richest person among human beings. In terms of philosophy, he is a transcendent existence who can see all mountains and small things at a glance. The Three Thousand Words of Morality written by him can be said to be the most vivid explanation of the truth in the world. All-encompassing, all-encompassing, is talking about this wise man, and facing such an existence that should only exist in history, it is impossible for Zhou Yi to say that he is not curious.

He was very curious, and it was precisely because of his curiosity that he pulled Lao Tzu into his chariot. Of course, part of the reason for this is that he wants to use this method to let those in the Taoist sect take a good look at his strength and energy, so as to save someone from being confused and standing in the wrong team. But the more reason is that he wants to have a good chat with this ancient wise man.

It can be regarded as a solution to the confusion in my heart. Although Zhou Yi didn't have great expectations for this, he still wanted to see if Lao Tzu himself had some unique views on some things.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi no longer hesitated, and asked Lao Tzu.

"By the way, I haven't asked for advice yet. How did Laojun get into the heavens back then. I remember that Laojun was from the Spring and Autumn Period, and he was different from the ancient immortals like Huangdi. Could it be that Laojun, you also got the teachings of some immortals to become a god?" Immortal?"

"What is a fairy? It's just an individual sublimation. If others teach everything, who will teach that person at the earliest time? Sometimes you don't need the help of others to learn this kind of thing. You can see the existence of the essence, and everything is in fact a matter of course.”

Lao Tzu is not as serious as Zhou Yi thought, an expert who likes to play tricks at every turn. He just smiled and pointed at himself.

"At the beginning, I was the custodian of the Zhou royal family. I have read all the classics collected by the Zhou royal family for 800 years, including some things from ancient times. At the beginning, I had only a half-knowledge. Then slowly, Mastery. When in the end, when you find that you have forgotten what you have learned, you have already completed the journey of immortal transformation. It may sound unbelievable, but when you think about it carefully, it is not surprising. Whether it is supernatural powers or Spells, in the final analysis, are nothing more than the crystallization of wisdom. If wisdom is mastered, everything is just a matter of course. Therefore, it is not surprising that the old man is a fairy. Not surprising!"

Isn't it strange? I'm afraid that ninety-nine percent of the gods in the world would not think so. Think about how much they have suffered in order to become immortals, and then look at Lao Tzu, the gap between them is really incalculable. It's not surprising, it's just because he is Lao Tzu. After all, not everyone is able to reach such a level of wisdom, and even things like becoming immortals and attaining the Tao can naturally change.

Although Zhou Yi admired this kind of thing, he didn't envy it. After all, he himself is a sitter. I am afraid that this all-powerful ability and supernatural power came more easily and casually than Lao Tzu. So he is really not qualified to say anything on this issue.

Instead of talking about this, it is better to worry about other issues. So at the moment, Zhou Yi's second question has come one after another.

"I admire Laojun's wisdom and understanding. It's just that I don't understand. Since Laojun is superhuman, why didn't you point out those people in the Taoist sect when the Jade Emperor was in charge of the heaven. Instead, let the foreign forces of the Buddhist sect continue. Make it so big that it will be a little coercive in the end?"

"How does Your Majesty know that it would be a good thing to point them out?"

With a smile, Lao Tzu spoke bluntly in front of Zhou Yi.

"My disciples and grandchildren say they cultivate the Tao, but in fact most of them are just mortals struggling in the world of mortals. It is understandable that mortals cannot escape a word of contention. After all, the world is not benevolent. If there is no struggle, It is difficult to have a bright future. But the so-called prosperity must decline, whether it is prosperous or not. If you fight too much, you will eventually be caught by disaster. So instead of letting it fight for the first step and be the champion. When the disaster is approaching, burn yourself. Then it is better Let them suffer small losses on weekdays, so that even if there is a sudden big change later, although there will be some losses, it will not hurt the muscles and bones."

"Conflicting without fighting is the best way to do good. Laojun's way of handling things is indeed profound and thought-provoking. But I still don't understand. If the disaster does not come, is it possible to lead people to become bigger step by step? See If you lose your defense step by step, you can't be controlled by others. Wouldn't it be a pity if you die in the enemy's life?"

"It depends on how Your Majesty understands indisputable. Indisputable does not mean inaction. Water is like it, and the virtue of water can be stretched according to the song. It seems that it can be manipulated by others, but in fact there is a degree. It is something that upright and intelligent people should learn. Only when you have a degree can you be good to all things without fighting. A penny!"
