Emperor Shentongjian

Chapter 581 The Way of Faith
At first, the Shinto framework laid down by the gods and people was based on the establishment of order, and they used faith, luck, and merit to cultivate themselves and govern the world. It was only when the god king was about to die that he incorporated the concept of creation.

But it may be that the establishment of order is too general and the creation of the world is too difficult. Nowadays, most Shinto monks only see that the power of faith can be transformed into divine power, helping people to practice quickly and increase their strength, so they practice the way of faith.

The gods and the people have two actions, saving the living beings, but also trapping the living beings in a sense. One is that they let the gods appear in the world, and the weak creatures communicate with the gods to cultivate their powers and become great supernatural powers. When the source is cut off, they become weak again.

The second is the way of faith. Believers can use the power of faith to cultivate divine power, soar their cultivation skills, and comprehend the supernatural powers of laws. However, it also has a drawback. The power of faith is not obtained by oneself. When faith collapses, The divine power cultivated with the power of faith will also decay and disappear.

Divine power, for all beings who are not gods and people, is actually a double-edged sword, which is both strength and bondage.

All living beings can cheer for gaining divine power, but they never think that belief, luck, and merit are created because the gods and people want to solve the problem of their own soul disappearing and the difficulty of enlightenment, in order to make up for the loss of the soul. There are gaps, so we can practice the road again.

Therefore, from the standpoint of gods, people and rulers, she will be happy to govern the world by means of faith, luck, merit and so on.

From her own point of view, she will not deliberately cultivate faith, seize luck, and build merit. She always believes that cultivating Tao is cultivating Tao. From the moment of cultivating Tao, the only belief in the eyes of Taoists can only be "Tao". On other.

What's more, the gods spent countless costs to get this ignorant soul for her, and they would not want her to take the shortcut of the power of faith.

The three souls of the former gods, people, heaven, earth and life are all gathered together, and they can directly comprehend the Dao without the help of others.

The soul of the soul is not in the body, but hidden in the Tao. The process of cultivating the Tao is actually to find the soul of the sky, cultivate the soul of the sky, and then understand the process of the Dao. Therefore, the soul of the sky is the carrier of the Tao, and it is also the past, future, and present of the cultivator. The "I".

Since she has a heavenly soul, even if it is ignorant and unclear, she can always wipe it clean and restore its original appearance in the continuous understanding of Tao.

The power gained by self-cultivation is more reassuring, isn't it?

However, she will not completely abandon her belief, luck, and merit, after all, they are part of the divine way, and she will practice the emperor's way and establish the divine way until she finds her own way.

Zhan Changfeng studied the way of faith in the sacred inscriptions, and thought of a passage in the Mirror Handbook, which said that whether it is a celestial dynasty or a dynasty, there are three things that are indispensable.

One is the tool of luck, guarding the luck of a country, predicting natural disasters, man-made disasters and good or bad luck of the country.

The second is a tool of merit, which gathers the merits of a country and protects the emperor's body and official body against karma.

The third is not a tool of belief, but a tool of wish power, which gathers the power of all sentient beings to protect the national power.

Faith has a deep relationship with vow and merit. For example, if you believe in a certain "God" wholeheartedly, you will have the power of faith.

You have an object of faith, and when you encounter difficulties, do you have to "ask" him for help?

At this time, the thought became a wish, and it was conveyed to his ears. This trace of wish power is quite a kind of contract. If he promises to fulfill your wish, this wish power will turn into faith and wish power to help him practice.

At the same time, if he fails to fulfill his promise, the faith power will be stripped from him, or in other words, if he fails to fulfill his promise, causing innocent people to suffer, he will also bear part of the karma for you.

There is another kind of grand wish to heaven and earth. For example, you said you want to govern the world to make the sea clear and the rivers clean. If you succeed, the heaven and the earth will send merits and virtues. If you fail, you can only be trapped in this grand wish.

The Buddhist Taoism Vow Power Esoteric Buddhism has studied this Tao deeply, and it is purely based on the power of vows.

But as the origin of wish power, Shinto monks avoid it and want to welcome it back. Even though wish power can help people cultivate, the karma involved is huge, and if it is not good enough, it will disappear.

Only a strong and stable dynasty will pay attention to the role of the instrument of wish power. It is not for the people to make wishes to the dynasty, but when wars or disasters occur, all the people in the dynasty will use their power to make wishes to heaven and earth, so that the whole country can be united. ,overcome obstacles.

There are also some Shinto monks who are busy building meritorious deeds in the Nine Heavens, and they fight a few games at every turn.

As a result, there have been many princes and emperors in the opposition. They don't want beliefs, luck, merit, or population. They don't know how to build a country and dynasty, and they only develop personal power or preach in the middle and big worlds.This is the case with the current No. [-] Huanjing Dijun on the Qingyun Ranking.

In the initial stage, she also plans to only take the path of developing personal power. Before she is fully prepared, she will not touch such things as faith and will.

The content in the inscription on the divine text is very difficult, and it needs to be understood in a whirlwind way. Sun Shengzi and others go to the 21st floor every year, but they haven’t learned all of it. They are gone, but the time has come.

"Guli Guli~"

The immemorial sticky worm turning its abdomen suddenly made a clear sound, waking up the few people who were immersed in the divine inscription.

Zhan Changfeng was the first to open her eyes. She had a shallow view and was not unable to extricate herself like the other four. After she watched the primordial beast gradually regaining its vitality for a while, Son of the Sun and the others reacted.

"It's not dead yet!" The violent Son of the Sun grasped the trident lying on his knee, stood up and prepared to kill it.

Zhan Changfeng said quietly, "Practice the way of faith and cherish the virtue of life. It itself did not attack us actively. Since it has escaped death, why not let it go for a while, besides, the Shenxu Market is about to be closed, and we are going to kill it soon." left."

Son of the Sun raised his jaw slightly, and suddenly smiled, "It's fine to let it go, but how about you joining my Kuihan tribe?"

Has the Holy Son changed his strategy?

Zhan Changfeng didn't change his face, "Ru Yao wouldn't want me to do this, I'm afraid I'll let down the kindness of the Holy Son, but..."

She glanced at the ancient sticky worm, as if in a dilemma, "I would like to ask the Holy Son for three tricks. If I can catch it, I hope the Holy Son will let it go."

The Son of the Sun lost his temper and smiled disdainfully. Did the Sun King choose a benevolent husband for her?
A student taught by a benevolent gentleman is better than an ambitious and uncontrolled one.

Son of the Sun had some calculations in his mind, and put aside his thoughts of probing for the time being, "Hmph, you can't handle my three tricks with your strength, so why bother asking for trouble."

He simply took his halberd and left.

"Shenxu is going to be closed, let's leave as soon as possible." Dou Wuchen always felt that the two of them had something to do with each other secretly, but he didn't care about it, so he politely thanked Zhan Changfeng for his help this time, and left as well.

Zhan Changfeng bid farewell to the three kings, first went to the previous palace to find the little fox, and then returned to the divine inscription tablet when there was no one there.

The little fox nestled in her arms in a small ball followed her line of sight, its hair all blown up, and buried itself in a smaller ball, not wanting to take a look at that weird soft ancient creature.

But Zhan Changfeng looked directly at it, the divine light in his eyes faded away, and his clairvoyant eyes scanned its whole body to find its soul.

There must be something wrong with the ancient creatures that can survive in the God Ruins. I don't know if they can be used to resist the power of the gods.

While there was still time, Zhan Changfeng strenuously imprisoned its consciousness with Soul Confinement, protected its body with False God Domain and divine power, and penetrated into its abdominal cavity from its injured abdomen.

The embraced white fox: "Aww!!!"
