Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 227: Calculating the Teaching
"Youhu has a very bad reputation. Daji has been in contact with Youhu for many years, so it is inevitable that she will be infected with Youhu's bad habits. For the sake of the king, it is better not to let her enter the palace."

Bigan thought for a moment and said vaguely. He couldn't just say that he was worried that Emperor Xin would be seduced by Daji, so he stopped Daji from entering the palace.

Although this was the truth, Emperor Xin would definitely be unhappy after hearing it. How could he, the ruler of the world, not even have this much self-control?
When people doubted his ability to control himself, Emperor Xin might have developed a rebellious mentality in order to prove himself, and he might have forced the matter through.

To avoid trouble, Bigan did not dare to tell the truth, so he spoke vaguely. However, Emperor Xin was always smart, and he could guess what Bigan wanted to say just by looking at his expression.

For a moment, his expression turned ugly.

The most taboo thing for a superior is to be doubted by his subordinates. Although Bigan's original intention was for his own good, his intention was extremely disrespectful and looked like he was disrespecting his superiors.

"Do you think that I can be controlled by a woman?"

Looking around, Emperor Xin asked in a cold voice.

"No, Your Majesty is wise and brave, and will never be tempted by beauty. We stopped Daji from entering the palace not because we doubt Your Majesty's ability, but to prevent it from happening."

"After all, she was born a fox. After Daji enters the palace, who can guarantee that she will behave herself? If she causes trouble, no matter how big or small it is, it will be trouble."

"If you know she's trouble, why let her into the palace?"

Seeing that Emperor Xin was angry, Bigan hurriedly explained.

It's not that they don't believe in Emperor Xin, but they don't believe in Daji. Over the years, many forces have been brought down by Youhu, so they have no choice but to be on guard.

"Hey, I know what you mean, but Daji is not only valuable in herself, but also has Su standing behind her."

"It is true that Yousu has been severely damaged by Long Bo, but the remaining strength should not be underestimated. If Yousu can be subdued, it will be a great help to our Great Shang."

Emperor Xin sighed and said, "What he valued was not Daji as a person, but the power she represented. If not, why would he go against all the ministers for a woman?"

"You Su is indeed not bad, but there are many ways to control You Su. There is no need to take the risk of marrying Daji."

Bigan nodded, approving Emperor Xin's idea of ​​winning over Yousu, but still opposed him taking Daji into the palace.

After all, it was because Da Shang was no longer in business, otherwise why would there be so many concerns? Let alone Su, even if there was Hu, he could marry her.

"There are indeed many ways to win over Yousu, but entering Nadaji into the palace is the most labor-saving and effective."

Emperor Xin spoke entirely from the perspective of interests, without any emotion.

"Your Majesty is right, and so are the ministers. There are both advantages and disadvantages to Nadaji entering the palace. The specific decision to be made depends on whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages."

After looking for a while, Minister Shang Rong summed up.

"Then let's meet Daji first, and then we'll talk about it after we see her in person."

When Emperor Xin heard this, he felt that this made sense, so he decided to meet Daji and examine her character before making a decision.

If Daji has no problem with her character, then the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. On the contrary, if Daji has a perverse character or is cunning, then letting her enter the palace will be a hidden danger, and the disadvantages will outweigh the advantages.

"Report, Long Bo and Su Hou's father and daughter came here, saying they have something important to report."

Just at this moment, a guard suddenly entered the hall and reported to Emperor Xin.

"Call Long Bo into the palace!"

When Emperor Xin heard this, he was surprised, but he also gave orders.

"It seems that we don't need to consider it. Long Bo will tell us soon whether Na Daji's entry into the palace will bring more benefits or more disadvantages."

Everyone present was smart. When they saw Ao Bing suddenly bring Su Hou and his daughter into the palace for an audience in the middle of the night, they knew that something big was going to happen.

"Your Majesty, a nine-tailed fox attacked tonight and tried to take over Daji's body, but I have killed it."

After Ao Bing entered the hall, he didn't waste any words. He glanced at the ministers and Emperor Xin and spoke directly.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin and his ministers were all extremely shocked. Just as Marquis Su was about to offer his daughter to the palace, a demon fox tried to take over Daji's body.

It goes without saying who this is directed at.

What is the fox demon doing in the palace? It can't be to have a love affair with the king, right?
"This demon fox is not its original form, but an incarnation. In its sea of ​​consciousness, there are restrictions from a powerful demon. Obviously, this demon fox is a demon."

"The demon fox entered the palace, what is his intention? I don't need to say more about this, right? The demons are best at stirring up people's hearts. My dragon clan has suffered a lot from this. I hope you will take this as a warning!"

Seeing everyone's shock, Ao Bing was very satisfied and continued to reveal more information.

"What, someone from the devil's way?"

If they were shocked just now, then at this moment, after learning that the nine-tailed fox was related to the evil way, the king and his ministers of the Shang Dynasty were furious.

Who doesn't know the practice methods of the devil's way?

The demons entered the palace, they must be coming for their Great Shang. They will not stop until Great Shang is destroyed.

Thinking of this, everyone was furious. But besides being angry, they were also a little scared.

Fortunately, when Emperor Xin wanted to take Daji into the palace, they strongly opposed it. Otherwise, if Daji really entered the palace, the consequences would be disastrous.

Don't underestimate the means of the devil. A thousand-mile dam can be breached by an ant hole. As long as a demon successfully sneaks into the harem, it won't take long for the entire Shang Dynasty to be infiltrated by the devil. Just ask the dragon clan to know whether the means of the devil are strong or not. Before the ancient times, the dragon clan was the undisputed overlord of the world, but even so, it still couldn't stop the infiltration of the devil.

Nowadays, although the magic path is not as powerful as before, the Shang Dynasty is not as good as the dragon clan in the past.

"It seems that the Great Shang has been targeted by the evil sect. In Long Bo's opinion, what should we do about this matter?"

After coming to his senses, Emperor Xin asked Long Bo for advice.

The devil is a great threat to the human race, let alone the small Shang Dynasty. Emperor Xin believed that he had no way to resist the devil.

But Ao Bing is different. He is a disciple of a saint, and his stance is naturally opposed to the devil, so he must have a plan to subdue the devil.

"In fact, it is not difficult to kill the demons. The difficult part is how to find them. The whereabouts of the demons have always been a mystery in the prehistoric world. If they don't show up on their own initiative, no one can find them."

“Therefore, when it comes to slaying demons, almost all forces can only passively defend and are unable to launch an attack.”

"Others are like this, and Da Shang is no exception. I'm afraid it won't work if we want to take the initiative to attack. We can only passively defend and set up formations in the palace and Chaoge to prevent the demons from getting close."

After thinking about it, Ao Bing replied.

It is a well-known fact that the power of the demonic path is not as good as that of the immortal path. However, even so, the immortal path is still unable to wipe out the demonic path.

There is only one reason, that is, the immortals cannot find the whereabouts of the demons' headquarters, even if the saints come forward. This is why the demons cannot be wiped out, and the more they are wiped out, the more they are found.

At the same time, this also causes all forces to be in a passive state when facing the devil, and they can only defend and it is difficult for them to take the initiative to attack.

There are many monks who have the power to kill demons, but unfortunately, if the demons do not show up, no matter how powerful they are, it will be useless and they will have no place to use their skills.

"The three religions are not acceptable?" a minister asked.

"No, if the three religions could find out the whereabouts of the Demonic Path, they would have destroyed them long ago. How could they allow the Demonic Path to remain at large until now?"

Ao Bing shook his head. There were some things he couldn't say directly. The reason why the demons could not be wiped out was not because they were so powerful, but because they were protected by the Heaven.

The Heavenly Dao values ​​balance the most. In order to prevent the Immortal Dao from becoming the only one in power, the Heavenly Dao deliberately supports the Demonic Dao to compete with the Immortal Dao. Therefore, even a saint cannot destroy the Demonic Dao.

The devil is also a part of the way of heaven. If you push the devil too hard, it will be embarrassing for heaven to ask saints to help the devil.

In short, the reason why the devil cannot be destroyed is never a question of strength, but the result of the balance of heaven.

"That's right. If the Demonic Path could be destroyed, it would have been destroyed long ago. It wouldn't still exist today." Everyone understood and changed the subject, turning to Ao Bing and asking:

"If I want to set up a formation, can the Jiejiao Immortal help me?"

When it comes to formations, Jiejiao is professional. Since formations need to be set up in the palace and Chaoge, it would be best to ask a master from Jiejiao to help.

"If the king asks, my Jiejiao will definitely not refuse. But in my opinion, it is better to ask the disciples of Chenjiao to take action than to ask the disciples of Jiejiao to take action."

Da Shang and Jiejiao are one, and setting up a formation for Da Shang is the obligation of Jiejiao. However, Ao Bing suddenly had an interesting idea, which made him persuade Emperor Xin to ask the disciples of Chenjiao for help.

"Explain the teachings?"

Emperor Xin was puzzled and looked at Ao Bing in surprise.

He wanted to say, isn't the Chan Sect an enemy of the Shang Dynasty? Let's not talk about whether it makes sense to ask the enemy for help. Even if there is a reason, is the Chan Sect willing to help the Shang Dynasty?

"Yes, it is the Chan Sect."

"Don't worry, my king. As it concerns the defense against evil, the disciples of the Chan Sect will not and dare not refuse."

"As long as you send someone to invite them, not only will they all come, but they will also do their best to set up the formation for you, fearing that there will be even the slightest mistake."

Ao Bing smiled and said that the Chan Sect has always regarded itself as the leader of the righteous path, and killing demons is its duty.

Now, the Shang Dynasty is disturbed by the Demonic Path, and has sent people to ask the Chan Sect for help. If the Chan Sect dares to refuse, then someone will inevitably say that the Chan Sect is afraid of the Demonic Path.

In this case, how can the Chan Sect still claim to be the leader of the immortal way? Therefore, even if they disliked the Great Shang, the Chan Sect would still send disciples here.

Fighting with the Great Merchants was an internal conflict. But if it involved the Demonic Path, it was an external conflict. When facing a powerful enemy, we should unite to face the enemy. How can we ignore external conflicts because of internal conflicts?
Ao Bing was sure that no matter what formation the disciples of the Chan Sect set up, they would be unable to defend against the evil sect in the end. In fact, the same was true for the Jie Sect, no one could stop them!
If you want to defend against the devil by relying solely on formations, you are underestimating the devil's means.

You know, the magic path is the same as the immortal path, and there are no shortcomings. The reason why it is not as good as the immortal path is not because the magic path is not good, but because there are too few masters.

In the ancient times, the number of people practicing immortal cultivation was at least hundreds of millions times that of those practicing demon cultivation. How could the demonic path compete with the immortal path?

Everyone's methods are similar, the only difference is the number. How can the formation of the Chan Sect defend against the magic? No matter how mysterious the formation is, after being studied for a long time, the magic will find loopholes.

It's the same principle that if you defend for too long, you will lose.

Ao Bing's evil intentions were reflected here. He predicted that no matter who set up the formation, the demons would eventually see through it and successfully sneak in.

Therefore, he gave this matter to the disciples of the Chan Sect. If the formation was broken by the demons, it would be the Chan Sect that would be disgraced, and it would have nothing to do with the Jie Sect.

Since there must be a force to embarrass us, why can't this force be the Chan sect?

This move is intended to ruin the reputation of the orthodox teaching. If it is handled well, it can also elevate the unorthodox teaching by belittling the orthodox teaching.
