Chapter 348 Truth and Identity

Zhao Yuan was also filled with emotion when he saw the Confucian country developing happily in front of him.

When he was in Da Cai before, he regarded the greatness in his body as a treasure.

When doing things, everything is restricted by Confucian scriptures.

Everything is done according to the book.

This also led to the fact that by the end of Cai Ningrui's reign, the entire Cai Dynasty seemed wealthy on the surface.

Privately, corruption and perversion of the law continue.

There are at least 10,000 wrongful convictions and injustices caused by corruption every year.

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Yuan established the Academy Supervisory Department.

But now, in this Confucian country.

After Zhao Yuan implemented his New Deal for many years, although not everyone was a gentleman, everyone had his own ideas and was able to do what he wanted to do.

You will not be limited to being busy all your life because of poverty or other reasons.

Zhengqi Geyi still focuses on the cultivation of the soul, and it is not a new path created by Zhao Yuan.

It's just that this method cultivates "literary mind" and nourishes the soul with awe-inspiring righteousness, which is an advantage that other methods of entering the Tao do not have.

The Confucian Kingdom has only been around for nine hundred years, and apart from him, there are also two other Yang Shen True Lords still alive.

Although they all practice righteousness songs, the Dharma bodies they condense are different.

Zhao Yuan's own condensed body was formed by integrating the Danqing Sword into his own body, which is called Huangtian Confucian Body.

The other two are Faru Xantian and Jianru Mieqin respectively.

Both of them are selfless people, in charge of the punishment of the entire Confucian state.

Even if Zhao Yuan leaves, there will be no powerful force within hundreds of thousands of miles around that can rival Confucianism.

Under the awe-inspiring righteousness, no items related to worshiping evil gods could be hidden within the Confucian Kingdom.

This is why Zhao Yuan is confident that he can create a country where there is no interference from evil gods and only Confucianism and Taoism exist.

The birth of this country is not only Zhao Yuan's test of the path he has taken, but also his desire to create a truly civilized country.

Although the country recognized him as the Confucian emperor, in fact, Zhao Yuan had never established an emperor.

Instead, it has jurisdiction over an organization similar to Xie Que's "Dead Country".

The two Yang Shen True Lords are also modeled after the two gods of heaven and earth in the Kingdom of Death.

Even Zhao Yuan's imperial scholar was established like Xie Que's Emperor Yama.

As for why this is the case, it involves the deepest secret hidden in Zhao Yuan's heart.

More than 900 years ago, after Zhao Yuan saw Xie Que's true form.

Then you know your identity.

Xie Que is Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Yuan is Xie Que.

The two have the same identity, and even Zhao Yuan's true soul was separated from Xie Que's body.

Projected through the long river of time to thousands of years ago.

Through this, Xie Que finally understood the nature of cognitive impairment.

It will choose one of the many consciousnesses in the divinity within its body and completely integrate it with itself.

And in the long river of time, it will be projected into a real life form.

This is why there are obstacles in understanding one's own identity.

It’s not that people don’t know their identity.

Rather, they are both themselves, but their timelines overlap, but they are completely different.

Zhao Yuan sighed deeply, only he could pry into such secrets.

Because it is under the protection of Judongsu Tulu.

Xie Que's true spirit was protected while traveling through time and space.

As a result, his memory remained intact and he transformed into Zhao Yuan from a thousand years ago.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to identify the era he was currently living in.

If it were someone else, experiencing cognitive impairment.

All memories will be erased and you will live a new life.

Until his two bodies passed through the tribulation at the same time and fell into cognitive impairment at the same time.

At this point, it is indeed difficult to recognize one's own identity.

After all, both are themselves, but the true spirit was projected to another time by the long river of time and became another self in the world.

Zhao Yuan was transformed into a wisp of Xie Que's true spirit.

He had lived for a thousand years and had just arrived in the present world, at the time when Xie Que had overcome his cognitive impairment.

The body incarnated by cognitive impairment is destined by God.

The final result will be integrated into the original body no matter what.

As for which body is primary and which body is secondary, it is up to oneself to judge.

The winner is king.

The adult inherits the memories of the two. From then on, regardless of priority, they are all their own.

The loser is cognitively confused and falls into endless confusion.

Zhao Yuan had Xie Que's memory from the beginning.

Only now can I see through the secret of cognitive impairment.

Otherwise, he can only be like other people who suffer from cognitive impairment.

After practicing for thousands of years, he finally broke through the cognitive barrier and merged into the body of Xie Que when he broke through the six realms.

Zhao Yuan, who understands all this, does not need to know so much.

He knew very well that he could not win over Xie Que no matter what.

More than 900 years ago, Zhao Yuan had a glimpse of the orca transformed by Xie Que, and he knew that this matter was destined.

He will eventually become Xie Que's life experience.

But even if you merge into the other person's body, it doesn't mean you will die.

Zhao Yuan has always been calm about these things.

This Confucian country is also a gift he prepared for his future self.

Since Xie Que wanted to establish power, he created the prototype of a country based on Xie Que's ideas.

And there are many talents among them, nearly 100,000 of them are talents who have read thousands of scriptures and know how to govern.

What is even more commendable is that all of them have given up their faith and only respect Zhao Yuan as the emperor.

This has never happened before in the outside world.

After all, there are countless evil gods hiding in the void, and the evil tools they left behind that can be used to grant power through sacrifices are as numerous as stars.

Whenever the people get them, many of them are tempted to become believers of evil gods.

In the Confucian country, this kind of atmosphere has been cleared, and the omnipresent righteousness can sense the evil god tools at the first time and expel them.

This place is tens of thousands of miles west of the Great Zhou, not far from the Great Zhou.

But there is half a vast sea in the middle.

Most of the territory of the entire Confucian country is surrounded by the vast sea.

This also makes the forces they can encounter very few.

Almost all the surroundings that can be conquered by them have been taken into the Confucian country.

Zhao Yuan looked down at the thriving appearance of the Confucian country, and his eyes were slightly complicated.

After waiting for a thousand years, it has come to an end.

But even if Zhao Yuan is iron-faced and selfless, he is also a living and emotional person.

The past thousand years were vivid in his mind.

Relatives, friends, subordinates, enemies, and even people like Cai Ningrui who made him love and hate, were all engraved in his heart.

But Zhao Yuan also knew that unless he stayed at the top of the five realms forever.

No matter what, his final outcome was to merge into Xie Que's body.

He was a little reluctant, and a few strands of attachment were revealed in his eyes.

This Confucian country has been ruled by him for hundreds of years, and there have also been many amazing people.

He also selected them all and took them as disciples to teach them carefully.

In the end, only two of them cultivated Confucianism.

These are also the reasons why Zhao Yuan was a little reluctant.

At the end, Zhao Yuan also explained some matters to the two disciples.

Probably a hundred years later, he will come here to lead the Confucian country to a new world and a wider distance.

Although the two disciples looked a little excited, they were more worried about their teacher.

After all, Zhao Yuan has been in the Confucian country for so many years and has never left.

When they asked the reason, Zhao Yuan just said that he was about to break through and would find a good place to pass the tribulation.

The two were even more excited when they heard this.

After all, they also knew that before the teacher came here, he had already reached the peak of the fifth realm.

Now, nearly a thousand years have passed, and the two of them can practice from ordinary people to the realm of Yangshen Zhenjun.

What's more, the teacher who founded Confucianism and Taoism?

After receiving the congratulations of the two disciples, Zhao Yuan headed west without looking back.

He could feel that his bottleneck was about to break, and the feeling of breaking through the sixth realm was no longer suppressed.

In a few decades, he would be forced to break through and fall into cognitive impairment.

Zhao Yuan's destination for this trip was also nothing else, but Yanluogu, countless miles away.

After all, Xie Que broke through cognitive impairment here.

He was a little hesitant. Although he knew his destiny, he also wanted to try, or resist.

If he went to the east, what would the outcome be.

In a trance, he stretched out his hand to break the void, summoned a righteous spirit to protect himself, and headed towards the east.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhao Yuan finally saw a ray of light in front of him.

He broke it and then walked out of the crack.

Unexpectedly, this place was actually a crack in the void.

Outside it was a mysterious formation, and it was automatically activated as Zhao Yuan walked in.

Zhao Yuan closed his eyes and sighed.

Even if he didn't have to guess, he knew that this formation would definitely send him to the Guiyuan Sea where Yan Luogu was.

Sure enough, after Zhao Yuan walked out, there was a vast grayness between heaven and earth.

At this time, it was still more than 70 years before Xie Que came here.

Zhao Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground, looking up at the endless gray sky, without any other thoughts.

He also knew that if it weren't for Xie Que's memory.

He was just an ordinary citizen in Da Cai who had lived a mediocre life.

In the future, he could only rely on slaughtering pigs and running a butcher shop to support his family.

Or maybe in a few years, the sudden appearance of Junlu led to the fall of Da Cai.

But now that things have come to this, everything is destined by heaven.

I will definitely not be able to escape this karma.

Karma...

The two words flowed in Zhao Yuan's heart, and his understanding of the Buddhist practiced by Xie Que became more and more profound.

In a trance, Zhao Yuan suddenly found an old man with sloppy clothes, monk robes and long beard sitting in front of him.

"Hello, Dharma King." Zhao Yuan did not stand up, and his attitude was also neither humble nor arrogant.

"Finally I caught you kid." The Red Dragon Dharma King grinned and said, "A Buddhist son, are you interested?"

Zhao Yuan did not answer directly, but stretched out his hand, revealing a trace of irrepressible divinity.

This is the result of the thousands of people in the Confucian country believing in him.

If he can refine it in his soul, he can break through the realm of the Venerable.

And the meaning of revealing this divinity is also Zhao Yuan's expression of his own realm.

Maybe others don't know the secret of cognitive impairment, but it is very likely that the Red Dragon Dharma King, who has lived for countless years as an incarnation, must know it.

Seeing this ray of divinity and the calmness in Zhao Yuan's eyes, the Red Dragon Dharma King couldn't help but become more excited: "Then you can become a Buddha's son just after entering my reincarnation path?"

"I am not a person who can transcend the tribulation." Zhao Yuan just shook his head when he heard it.

After this, the Red Dragon Dharma King couldn't help but be stunned.

He asked Zhao Yuan: "I have been paying attention to you for thousands of years. You have such a mind and understanding, and you have created your own righteous method to enter the Tao. It can be said that you are a genius that is rare to see in thousands of years."

"Even you are just...I can't imagine how powerful your true body must be..."

Zhao Yuan showed a smile and said: "If the Dharma King has nothing to do, you can go to the east side of the diocese to see more."

There was a hint of disdain in the expression of King Chilong: "Dongfang? Those guys in the Zen Sect are so evil. Could it be that they have another genius born?"

"Or... are you talking about something more eastern, those sophisticated people?"

Zhao Yuan just said: "None of them."

The Red Dragon Dharma King pondered for a moment: "If that's the case, then I won't force you."

"But if you want to become a master, I have my own way. You can use the will of the Wheel King..."

Zhao Yuan shook his head: "Thank you, Dharma King, no need..."

As he spoke, he looked at Chilong Dharma King again and said: "If Dharma King... encounters the stars in the sky in the future, feel free to entrust his death to me."

"The stars in the sky..." The Red Dragon Dharma King thought for a moment, then looked solemn, cupped his fists and said to Zhao Yuan, "Thank you, little friend."

Every star in the sky is a manifestation of the divine spirit.

What Zhao Yuan said, the Red Dragon Dharma King also knew, would definitely be a calamity that he would encounter in the future.

The last sentence is Zhao Yuan's allusion to the relationship between himself and the Dharma King.

The rest is what the Red Dragon Dharma King needs to understand on his own.

The Red Dragon Dharma King also sat on the stone next to Zhao Yuan, looked at the gray sky, and asked without hesitation, "How many years are there?"

Zhao Yuan responded: "Seventy-three years."

The Red Dragon Dharma King nodded: "Then I will protect you here for seventy-two years in return for your kindness."

Zhao Yuan nodded and did not refuse.

Not only him, but also Xie Que has some problems in many aspects of practice that have not been resolved.

After the two communicated for a while, Zhao Yuan also had a great understanding.

The Red Dragon King has lived for so many years, even though his status as a worshiper of gods makes any magical powers useless to him.

But his broad vision is unmatched by anyone.

With just one glance, the Red Dragon Dharma King revealed the crux of the problem with Zhao Yuan Zhengqi Ge.

That is relying too much on the power of faith.

The same is true for the increase of Haoran's righteousness towards his own soul.

If you are bold and have a right heart, you will get twice the result with half the effort by practicing this law.

But if you have a timid personality, you will not be able to defeat even the weakest opponent.

After being modified by the Red Dragon King, the Righteous Song became more and more suitable for ordinary people to practice.

Especially a scholar.

There is no need to study hard day and night to practice Taoism. You only need to study thousands of scriptures and remember them vividly.

Cultivate a sense of righteousness in your heart.

Then one day, sweet rain will fall from the sky, you will emerge from the body during the day, survive the tribulation among the thunder, and one day you will become a real person from an ordinary person.

This is also the maximum expression of the advantages of Zhengqi Ge.

There is no need to have any talent for practicing Taoism, even ordinary people can practice it.

But the biggest prerequisite is that you need to be honest.

Don't have evil thoughts in your mind, otherwise you won't be able to practice.

After being modified by the Red Dragon King.

Generally, if an old scholar has a righteous mind and has read through the Confucian scriptures for many years, he will practice this method.

But in seven days, he transformed from an ordinary old man into a real person of three tribulations.

Although the realm is not high, it is still amazing enough.

After all, in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, even if you can't find ten thousand people like this, you can at least find eighteen hundred.

As for scholars with righteous thoughts, they are countless.

This method impressed the Red Dragon Dharma King and even called it the first righteous method throughout the ages.

It solves the problem that even people without talent can nourish their souls with righteousness to achieve the purpose of practicing Taoism.

Zhao Yuan also exhaled.

In this way, both civil and military careers have opened up new paths for themselves.

If you give yourself enough time, you may truly be able to create a world where everyone is like a dragon.

Regardless of whether they have the talent for cultivation, as long as they have good thoughts and uprightness, they can embark on the path of cultivation here.

If you don't succeed in martial arts, you can practice Confucianism.

If your heart is not upright, you can practice martial arts.

All gods will disappear in this country, and there will no longer be any worshipers of gods.

This is Zhao Yuan, or Xie Que's ambition.

It is precisely for this reason that both Xie Que and Zhao Yuanfang chose to build a country.

Only when this political system is established can we control domestic beliefs.

Otherwise, even the wheel-turning path would not destroy temples.

After all, there is also belief in the Wheel King within the Wheel of Reincarnation.

What Zhao Yuan wants to do is to expel all the gods, restore clarity to the heaven and earth, and return freedom to all living beings.

After that, Zhao Yuan started communicating with the Red Dragon Dharma King from martial arts.

The Red Dragon Dharma King was even more surprised when he heard this.

When he first paid attention to Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan had already spread the seeds of civilization in Confucianism.

King Chilong has never seen the martial arts practiced by Zhao Yuan.

Little did he know that Zhao Yuan had a profound understanding of martial arts.

After the exchange, the Red Dragon Dharma King could not help but exclaim: "Your opinions are much better than those of the fallen boy."

After Zhao Yuan heard this, he just smiled.

Of course he knew who the fallen boy was.

Just because he worshiped Emperor Zhenwu, who was trapped in a heavenly barrier, his fall was destined to be irreversible.

Unless you can defeat a great god like the Zhenwu Emperor.

The Red Dragon Dharma King asked again: "Did you break the shackles of martial arts?"

Zhao Yuan nodded, then shook his head: 'Yes, but no. '

Upon hearing this, the Red Dragon Dharma King immediately understood and smiled: "It was 'he' who broke the shackles of martial arts, and you created the path of Confucianism."

Zhao Yuan also laughed, but did not say anything.

After laughing, the Red Dragon Dharma King sighed: "Can you teach me the method of breaking the shackles of martial arts?"

Zhao Yuan was silent for a moment, and just when he was about to say something, he felt that a huge threat was about to come.

Then he could only say: "In a few years, the Dharma King will know."

The Red Dragon Dharma King did not force it, but just nodded.

Since he knew the relationship between himself and Zhao Yuan's body, he was not so anxious.

For many years afterwards, the two of them spent their time in constant communication.

Zhao Yuan's understanding of Taoism was also completely changed.

But at this time, the Red Dragon Dharma King also knew that time had passed, and seventy-two years had passed in the blink of an eye.

He patted Zhao Yuan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "My friend, then goodbye."

Zhao Yuan also smiled and said: "Goodbye."
