If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 210: The Integration of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism
When talking about "Lord", the look in Prince Lu's eyes was very complicated, with suspicion, awe, and resentment that was so faint that it was hardly noticeable.

Xilu chose this time to openly confront the "tyrannical Qin" and successfully united all the vassal states in the Xisha region except Xishu. There must be more than one reason why the "tyrannical Qin" secretly plundered the "Dao Miao" in the countries in the Xisha region.

Marquis Lieyang killed hundreds of thousands of Western Lu soldiers, committed the Jinyang Massacre, and slaughtered tens of thousands of people from both large and small branches of the Ji family. These cannot be simply summarized as "the tyrannical Qin has always been brutal."

For example, Chechiguo.

Chechi State is also the main force in the Thirty-Six State Alliance.

After the king bared his clothes and surrendered, Marquis Lieyang stripped him naked and hung him outside the palace gate to be whipped. This was very humiliating, this is a fact, but it is also a fact that no one from the royal family of Chechi Kingdom lost their life.

In the eyes of the Human Emperor and Marquis Lieyang, Xilu Ji's family has touched the bottom line of the Qin Dynasty.

The bottom line is to collude with the "master" of the shadow.

At this time, the King of Lu in the Eight Kings' Heavenly Palace was just the Grand Marshal of the State of Lu in the mortal world, and the former uncle of the King of Lu.

He did not know the identity of the black shadow, nor did he know who his "master" was.

However, he could not say that Xilu rebelled because of the instigation of his "master".

When it comes to resisting the "tyrannical Qin", their interests and views are completely consistent.

It was even Xilu who had the idea of ​​rebellion first, and the "master" sent people to provide stronger power and greater confidence.

The shadow shook his head and said, "The Lord would never care about such a small matter."

"I don't believe that your 'master' still doesn't know about Yu Fengxian." King Lu sneered.

The black shadow sighed, "You underestimate Yu Fengxian too much. Her fame is known to all the three realms, but at least many gods and Buddhas know that there is such a person in Xishu.

But knowing does not mean caring.

What she cares about may not necessarily be the grudge between her and the 'Eight Immortals of the West'.

In the final analysis, Yu Fengxian only has a grudge against you, the 'Eight Immortals of the West'.

Well, he slapped me in the face many times.

But what does this have to do with my master?
In his view, all the setbacks and tribulations in the process of overthrowing the Qin Dynasty were the external manifestations of the struggle and backlash of human destiny.

Even without Yu Fengxian taking action, there were other people who were able to survive with the energy.

Or the Great Qin Mandate will sabotage our actions to end the Great Qin Mandate in other ways."

Prince Lu pondered and said, “It’s not realistic to go directly into Tianmen Town and kill Yu Fengxian.

It is better to wait a little longer. The memorial day for the million-strong coalition army of thirty-six countries will be on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year.

Now August is almost over, and it is less than half a year until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the following year."

The shadow said, “In fact, I am just like my master, I am just curious about her and don’t care much about her.

However, with each passing day, Yu Fengxian's reputation spreads more widely in the West.

The more famous she became and the more carefree she lived, the less famous the "Eight Immortals of the West" became.

You complained before, why didn't you form a third group of 'Eight Immortals from the West' to cooperate with your Ten Thousand Ghosts Daily Parade.

You still think I'm lazy and unwilling to run around in the underworld to win over a few ten-thousand-year-old ghost kings for the "Eight Kings Heavenly Palace" and even better, find a ghost emperor as a backer.

Didn't I invite new human immortals to reorganize the 'Eight Immortals of the West'?
Didn’t I go to the nearby mountain to pay homage and invite the ghost king of the underworld to form an alliance with you, the Eight Ghost Kings of Guaizi Mountain?

But now, when the Western immortals, whether they are human immortals, divine immortals, or ghost immortals, hear the name "Eight Immortals of the West", they feel scared and want to laugh.

Every time the 'Eight Immortals of the West' was formed, the ending was that all members were destroyed. How could they not be afraid?
Every time the 'Western Eight Immortals' were destroyed, it was related to a little Shaman. How could they not laugh at it?"

King Lu said: "Let General Bietou try it once, and test it a little. Don't force it.

Or I can wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year and deal with Yu Fengxian myself.

Either you call Zhou Lang, or you can call a few more human immortals, and the Eight Ghost Kings of Guaizi Mountain to cooperate with them. "

After a pause, he slowed down his tone and requested, "Special Envoy, I still have to trouble you to go to Black Stone Mountain again and convince the Black Dry Ghost Emperor to accept the Eighth King of our Guaizi Mountain as his adopted son.

Only with the protection of a Ghost King can Guaizi Mountain be fearless of the underworld and truly gain a foothold in the netherworld.

As long as we have the support of the Black and Dry Ghost Emperor, we will be able to flatten Tianmen Town on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year without any setbacks."

The black shadow said: "The Black Ghost Emperor has rejected your request to become a disciple. Although becoming a disciple is very popular in Tianmen Town in the Yang world recently, the Ghost Emperor in the Netherworld does not buy into this.

However, he also promised that the underworld in Xisha Region will always belong only to the ghosts in Xisha Region.

As long as the Ghost Kingdom takes root in the underworld and does not cross the border to invade the Taoist blessed land, Fengdu City cannot interfere at will.

Now, the Eight Heavenly Palace only needs to face the forces of the underworld."

"I am not worried about the local immortals in Tianmen Town, but what if Dongfang Shuo or other immortals from the Great Qin take action?" King Lu sighed, but his eyes were secretly staring at the black shadow.

——If you can’t convince the Black Ghost Emperor to help us, then you can do it yourself, or ask your master to help.

The shadow was silent for a while, then said, "Dongfang Shuo can't stay in Xishu forever. Wait for him to leave, and wait for chaos to break out in Daqin. You, the Eight Ghost Kings of Guaizi Mountain, can take action."

After a pause, he added: "We need to deal with Yu Fengxian as soon as possible; when the Yin soldiers attacked Tianmen Town, I never urged you, and even advised you to be cautious and forbearing.

Even if it cannot be started on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year, it doesn’t matter.

The great catastrophe of heaven and earth has begun.

In the past, countless catastrophes have never ended in just one or two years.

The catastrophe will last at least twenty years, so we always have a chance.

In fact, with the "Black Mountain Form Training Record" that I provided for you, the longer time passes, the higher your realm will be and the more powerful the Eight Kings Palace will be.

By then, you will be the overlords of the underworld, and you won’t need to rely on the Black Ghost Emperor, and you won’t need to be afraid of the Fengdu Ghost Messenger anymore.”

"The Black Mountain Form Training Record is easy to practice but difficult to master. Even if you practice for another twenty years, it seems that your realm will not improve much." King Lu said.

"If it's difficult to improve your realm, you can practice secret techniques and supernatural powers!" said the black shadow.

At the street entrance outside Xianyun Temple, before Xiaoyu and Gouzi parted ways, he reminded Gouzi again, "Remember, if Cui'er comes to find you, you must go to Tianbaoju to inform me as soon as possible."

Xiao Qiang asked in confusion: "You don't believe my 'dream sign', or did the dog meat Taoist priest say something?"

“Although Taoist Dog Meat did not completely agree with your dream, he also agreed that the Wang family is blessed. If a third child is born, it is very likely that he will be a noble person.” Xiao Yu said.

"Then why do you want to break up this match made in heaven?" Xiao Qiang asked.

"How can this be considered a match made in heaven? Mr. Wang has no thoughts of love between men and women at all, and Cui'er has even less love for him. Their future relationship will not be that of husband and wife, but rather that of master and servant, with slightly more equal statuses." Xiao Yu said.

Xiao Qiang said: "As the saying goes, when you are at home, you obey your father; when you are married, you obey your husband; when your husband dies, you obey your son. This saying may not apply to you, but it certainly applies to Xue Cui'er.

A son from a noble family would guarantee her wealth and prosperity for the rest of her life, and she might even be reborn in the great nation of China in her next life.

But without Xue Cui'er, Mr. Wang would not have been able to give birth to a noble son; without Mr. Wang, Xue Cui'er would not have been blessed enough to give birth to a noble son. The combination of the two is the harmony of heaven and earth, a match made in heaven. "

Xiao Yu nodded gently, "You are a dog with a lot of skills, Xiao Qiang, listen to my advice, don't kill in the future, keep it up, and maybe you can become a Buddha dog."

Xiaoqiang was so happy that he jumped and danced, wagging his tail.

"Master, thank you for your blessing. I will remember your instructions and not kill."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Although I praise you for your insight and wisdom, you still have to do as I say."

"Why? You praise me for my wisdom, which means you agree that this is the ultimate truth of heaven and earth." Gou Zi asked puzzledly.

Xiao Yu said calmly: "The world has its own principles, and I have mine."

When we returned to Tianbaoju, it was already completely dark.

Shaoyao and Heimei were both on the second floor, in Heimei's bedroom, packing clothes, jewelry, books and other things.

"Master Wen, when will you come to Tianmen Town again?" Xiaoyu knew that she would leave with Li Qianyue tomorrow.

Before, she really disliked and couldn't stand black-toothed black girls.

Now that they were about to part, she felt very reluctant to leave Hei Mei's Confucianism courses.

It is true that Hei Mei’s courses are difficult to understand, but if you study them carefully, the sense of satisfaction you gain will be very strong.

She was a modern illiterate, but after only studying with Hei Mei for two or three days, she vaguely felt the great energy.

If she continues to learn from Hei Mei for another year or two, she will definitely be able to cultivate the Haoran Qi. The key is that after feeling the Haoran Qi, she will discover that Haoran Qi is not a pure internal skill.

Inner force is born from the body and is the extraordinary energy extracted from the blood.

The great and upright energy is born from thought. It is the spark of wisdom in the soul, and the special and extraordinary energy generated by the interaction with heaven and earth.

Internal Qi is mainly used to nourish the body, while great and upright Qi can nourish the mind.

Xiaoyu is just lacking a method to cultivate his mind!

Now she found that the righteousness could fill the last shortcoming of the five elements of Xianwu (the 'body' was also a shortcoming, but she could rely on the sword bones, the spirit was her strong point, and the qi had the Tai Chi Changchun Gong.)
"Let it be. Maybe we'll meet again soon, or maybe we won't see each other for a year or two." Wen Zhiruo said.

"One or two years." Xiao Yu's expression was tangled. "Master Wen, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Probably not appropriate to talk about." Heimei said.

Xiao Yu was embarrassed and said with a smile: "Okay, I apologize, I shouldn't have kept you in suspense.

I don't think you need to be a secretary in the princess's mansion.

Your talents should not be wasted in serving the rich.

You should follow the example of Confucius, recruit three thousand disciples, and teach Confucianism."

The black girl paused for a moment while folding clothes, then turned around and said with a complicated expression: "Do you think I serve the Thirteenth Princess for fame and fortune?
I do need fame, fortune and status, but I want them in order to promote Confucianism and make Confucian learning flourish.

Without relying on nobles, how can one emulate Confucius, recruit 3,000 disciples, and spread Confucianism?"

Xiao Yu pondered and said, "Any doctrine that relies on the powerful will eventually lose its original appearance and become an ugly tool to serve the powerful and maintain their rule."

Hei Mei looked at her deeply and said, "The fact that you can say this shows that I was right about you. You are very likely to cultivate the noble spirit."

Shaoyao smiled and said, "She said this just to keep you here, so that you can continue to teach her Confucian wisdom and cultivate righteousness?"

Xiao Yu was a little embarrassed when her thoughts were exposed, and said, "Sister Shaoyao, although I have some thoughts, what I said just now came from the heart."

Hei Mei sighed: "If I rely on the powerful, my knowledge may be deformed, but if I don't rely on the powerful, my knowledge will become a shape I don't want, and no one will ever know my shape.

In order to make Western Shu a veritable small China in the West, the monarch had plans to vigorously develop Confucian culture.

At this time, Luodu was a gathering place for great scholars from all over the world.

Although they are all Confucian scholars, their concepts vary greatly.

Now I am not only promoting Confucianism, but also promoting my own Confucianism!"

Xiao Yu said: "If you want to promote your Confucian ideas, you might as well stay and teach me.

I am destined to become an immortal in this life.

When I become a great immortal who integrates the three religions of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, my way will be the only right way.

And you taught me my ways.”

Hei Mei said with a strange expression: "Don't mention it, I really had this thought, but the one I chose was the Thirteenth Princess Li Qianyue."

Xiao Yu was surprised and said, "Doesn't the Thirteenth Princess have a fairy method? Of course, I am not denying the unity of the three religions.

But with the formal inheritance, of course one must become an immortal first.

If the three religions are to be united and a new path opened up, it must be after the immortal path has reached its end. "

Not to mention Dou Gengyan’s “tea theory”, it is easy to waste “clean water” when practicing special skills.

How could ordinary people afford the time and energy required to integrate the three religions?

If you don’t become an immortal, your lifespan will be limited.

Isn't it ridiculous to waste your energy on things other than the path to immortality and eventually become a dry bone in a grave?

Hei Mei sighed and said, “If it was a true immortal inheritance, she would have gone to the mountains to practice with her master long ago. Why would she still stay in the mortal world?
You and Dou Gengyan are friends. Have you ever shown up in the mortal world after she became the disciple of the South China Sea Nun?

The next time you see her, and the world knows her, it will be after she becomes an immortal, if she can become an immortal. "

"What is the true inheritance of immortality? Can the fate of immortality be faked?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.

Hei Mei hesitated and said, "I'm not too sure either. I only heard from the princess that it seems that all the 'true immortal methods' in the world have owners and causes and effects, and outsiders cannot obtain them for no reason.

Only the disciples chosen by the immortals can encounter true immortal adventures.

But since I have met a miracle and become a disciple of an immortal, I naturally won't mess around alone.

The princess does have a master, but her master is not an immortal, nor is he the original owner of the Taoism she practices. "
