The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 116 Humanity, Houtu

The six people exchanged their own insights with each other. Of course, most of their thoughts mobilized countless intelligent algorithms, and multi-threadedly assisted Xiao Jun in the Dou Qi world to comprehend the mystery of the strange fire, constantly collecting the strange fire energy, and began to refine the mystery therein.

Xiao Jun, number two and number five, has an abnormality in the world's vitality and cannot practice normally.

World No. 6 is a future worldview, but it's still essentially the worldview of aristocratic families. With technological advancements, everyone's living standards have reached an extremely high level, and the world is peaceful.

But aristocratic families are aristocratic families after all, and they still have a dark side.

For example, in the original novel, the protagonist Fang Xin was killed casually, and there was no problem at all. In essence, it is a disregard for life. There are many such things!

Part of Xiao Jun's mind was directly in the star map of the sky, and his eyes opened.

The surroundings were in darkness, and there was a forest of towers. The towers were protected by a red light.

This... is the City God Temple.

This world's technology is powerful enough, but Shinto and the way of cultivation still persist, and many people understand matters of the soul. Many people's ashes are buried in the columbarium in the City God Temple.

Xiao Jun looked at the towers in front of him. Some of them still had the glow of soul, while others were empty, without a trace of spiritual light.

Those without spiritual light will be directly sent into reincarnation after being examined by Hou Tu, with the hope of an afterlife.

In fact, the image of Hou Tu is constantly updated. The general image of Hou Tu is that of a graceful and majestic female emperor of heaven, and she is called Hou Tu Huang Di Ji.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the pre-Qin period, Hou Tu was considered the son of Gong Gong and the Prime Minister of Earth. Later, he was promoted to the god of the earth, and then to the ruler of the underworld. During this period, Hou Tu also had another name: Tu Bo.

The image of Tubo represents the ultimate majesty and justice, and controls the world after death.

Perhaps it was due to later evolution that, out of gratitude for the nurturing power of the land and the compassion of Hou Tu, she gradually transformed from Tu Bo into a goddess who transformed into a reincarnated being.

In fact, for immortals and gods, there is no such thing as male or female. Their bodies are simply created by their vital energy, and they can easily transform into any form they desire. At most, they can only be described as male or female.

Xiao Jun was reciting the "Hou Tu Rebirth Sutra". This sutra carries Hou Tu's wishes and actions. Reciting the sutra can guide Hou Tu's power and send living beings into the soul.

The strange rhythm spread to the surroundings. From the perspective of the soul, golden light spread along with Xiao Jun's words.

The golden color slowly began to guide the light of these true spirits.

Xiao Jun seemed to hear some sounds.

"I... don't want to die..."

"I can't let it go..."

"Why... I still have things to do..."

"..."

Many of these true spirits constantly emit these fluctuations, which belong to the sound of the soul. Even with divine protection and powerful productivity that can allow these people to live safely in this life, they still cannot escape the sea of life and death.

Matters of life and death are serious.

Xiao Jun analyzed the fluctuations of the true spirits in front of him, and infinite classical wisdom was turning in Xiao Jun's mind. Waves of consciousness spread through Xiao Jun's language.

These true spirits have been captured and restrained by human obsession and have been staying here.

Xiao Jun's mind waves were transmitted to these true spirits. In fact, these mind waves were all about Xiao Jun's own wisdom to enlighten these true spirits. Xiao Jun's light of wisdom kept flashing. He was proficient in all scriptures and preached to these dead people.

These scriptures are constantly breaking their obsessions, enlightening the wise and upright nature of these dead people, and allowing them to use their own wisdom and integrity to break these obsessions.

Some spiritual light gradually stopped softening. After listening to a large number of scriptures, Xiao Jun learned a lot of wisdom in his mind. He immediately broke through his obsession.

He began to be slowly led by the golden light and entered another layer of time and space.

And at this moment, these golden lights seemed to emit some fluctuations. These fluctuations were very strange, and Xiao Jun felt these fluctuations.

Before disappearing, those spiritual lights transformed into illusory human figures and saluted Xiao Jun.

But Xiao Jun didn't care and continued to feel this strange golden fluctuation.

"Hou Tu... is indeed a powerful being, possessing great wisdom, great supernatural powers, and great compassion..."

"I used the scriptures of the great god Hou Tu to guide the true spirit." "At the moment when the great god Hou Tu led the true spirit to reincarnation... I realized the mystery of reincarnation."

After the last spirit light looked back at the human world reluctantly and was led away by Hou Tu's divine power, Xiao Jun stopped reciting Hou Tu's scriptures.

At this moment, an old man came over and looked at Xiao Jun in front of him with a smile.

"Blessed Master... you are truly a person of wisdom and virtue. You actually comprehended the Way of the Goddess of Hou Tu from her scriptures and created a method of salvation with immeasurable merit." The old man smiled and said to Xiao Jun, "However, you refused to join the Hou Tu Temple and rejected the canonization of the Divine Master by the Divine Light of Hou Tu."

"With the talent and wisdom of the benefactor, he will surely be able to ascend to the position of god!" the old man said to Xiao Jun.

At a very early age, Xiao Jun began to comprehend the "Hou Tu Rebirth Sutra", felt the divine power of Hou Tu that came with him, and then created a method of salvation.

In fact, it was when Xiao Jun discovered that Hou Tu was guiding the reincarnation of the true spirit that she exuded the Taoist magic of the great god Hou Tu. So he came up with a method that could allow Hou Tu to guide the true spirit efficiently and quickly.

It means using your own heart to deeply empathize with the obsessions and hearts of the deceased, and to feel their love, hate, pain, troubles and joy.

Then use your own wisdom to analyze these obsessions and feelings, and then guide the wisdom of the deceased's true spirit, so that you can let go and finally accept everything now.

For Xiao Jun, the natural way is to understand the vanity of emotions such as love and hate, and to conduct direct calculation and analysis through algorithms to extradite the true spirits of the dead on a large scale.

If ordinary practitioners use such means of salvation, they can only save one by one, and may also be affected by the emotions of the deceased. However, Xiao Jun does not have this problem. He conducts large-scale salvation and comprehends the mystery of reincarnation.

"I have no interest in the godhood..." Xiao Jun shook his head and said to the old man, "I refuse Hou Tu Shen Guang's offer of the godhood, because I don't want to be in that position."

When Xiao Jun created this method of salvation, the divine light of Hou Tu descended directly, and originally penetrated into Xiao Jun's own soul, obtaining the position of Yin God. In essence, he entered the Hou Tu God Court to become an official, and a high-ranking one at that!

After Xiao Jun analyzed the mysteries within Hou Tu's divine light, he directly cut out Hou Tu's divine light and refused the position of god. This was because Xiao Jun's purpose was to comprehend reincarnation.

"But I see that the Blessing Master... is a being of great compassion and wisdom. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to develop such a method of salvation, nor could he have saved so many people." The old man said anxiously, "Why not join Hou Tu, practice the Blessing Master's wisdom and compassion, and use Hou Tu's divine power to help more people?"

You should know that every time you save someone, it is a huge burden on the soul, but every time you save someone, it is a training for the soul, and you can also gain a lot of merit!
The golden wheel of merit behind Xiao Jun at this moment was like a bright moon, illuminating everything around him. His entire body was shining with gold, blinding the soul eyes of the Houtu temple priest in front of him.

The method of salvation involves entering a state of meditation, comprehending the principles of Hou Tu, using utmost sincerity to inspire the soul, sensing the thoughts and emotions of the deceased, and ultimately using one's own wisdom to enlighten the true spirit. This is a comprehensive test of one's state of mind, wisdom, and cultivation.

The temple keeper before him was very old, and his cultivation was already quite profound. However, even saving a single deceased person would be a huge burden on his mind, requiring him to recuperate for a quarter of an hour. For those with less advanced cultivation, saving even one would require several days of recuperation!
The young man in front of him was able to extradite a large number of people. His state of mind and wisdom were simply unfathomable.

Moreover, Xiao Jun said at the time that he just created the extradition method casually.

"Oh... I just saw that the True Spirit was obsessed with delusion, so I wanted to speed up the enlightenment and guidance to reincarnation." This is what Xiao Jun said at the time.

Xiao Jun's perspective is remarkably calm, viewing everything through cold, mathematical calculations. In the eyes of others, Xiao Jun is a man of utmost sincerity. In fact, every action Xiao Jun takes is wholehearted, a quality the ancients called sincerity.

In fact, Xiao Jun understood that it was just "no mind and no self"! Xiao Jun had long known what his mind and consciousness were.

Lead these true spirits, practice the way of the great god Hou Tu, and thus comprehend the mystery therein.

"Actually, faith... can be divided into three levels." Xiao Jun changed the subject and said to the temple priest in front of him, "The first level is worshiping the gods, that is, praying for their help."

"Faith at this level is essentially about exchange, treating worship as a transaction. Through worship, one hopes that the gods will fulfill one's wishes."

"On the second level, they worship the gods from the heart, in order to learn the spirit of the gods. For example, the spirit of Hou Tu, the great god, is compassionate, benevolent, and magnanimous. In the process of worshiping the gods, they also learn the spirit and cultivate virtue."

"And the third level... is to believe in the way of the gods! The way of the gods... is the path I need to follow."

Xiao Jun turned around and said to the temple priest in front of him.

The words were quite firm and decisive. After hearing them, the old temple keeper fell into deep thought. After a while, he nodded and sighed:
"I see... Now I understand your aspirations. Faith... not in the power of God, not in supernatural powers."

“It’s about choosing to trust God’s way and choosing to trust the spirit that God holds.”

"Master... you are truly a dragon among men! These words... are truly enlightening."

Xiao Jun also nodded.

"Blessed Lord... the gate of the future Houtu Temple will always be open for you!"
