Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 649 Seeking common ground while reserving differences
"But your subordinates killed people, using spells to kill people, this is intolerable."

After a long time, Li Xiuyuan said suddenly, thunder and lightning popped out of his palm again.

The national teacher immediately smiled and said: "Spells are not good or bad, it depends on whether the person who uses them is good or bad. If one can kill a wicked person and destroy all people, then this person can be killed. Does the sage think so? Evil cannot become great good. Tolerate some small crimes in exchange for greater good and
Beautiful, is there anything wrong with this? "

"There is nothing perfect in this world. The saint killed ghosts and gods in the south, went to the heavenly palace, and entered the underworld several times. Isn't it just doing evil and promoting good? My approach is no different."

The national teacher's ability is not only powerful in Taoism, but also his thoughts and ideas are also very powerful, which can convince people's hearts and make people think that his approach is correct.

It's right to cast spells to kill people, it's right to resurrect the dead, and it's right to control Chao Gang.

As long as it is for the stability and prosperity of this world, all of this can be tolerated.

Li Xiuyuan knew that this conversation between him and the national teacher was not just a conversation in a simple sense, but a discussion of the Tao.

It's the same as discussing the Tao with Dongyue Shenjun in the Tiangong last time.

It's just less hostility and more kindness.

"If this is your philosophy, the national teacher, then I cannot agree with it." Li Xiuyuan waited for him to finish speaking, and then said suddenly.

"I would like to hear the great opinion of the sage." The national teacher smiled slightly, and gave a salute because he wanted to hear the sage's way.

Li Xiuyuan walked to the window, looked at the dark sky outside and said, "Your idea seems to be familiar. I talked with Dongyue Shenjun when I was in Tiangong. He upholds the way of gods to rule people, demons, and ghosts. Immortal, the same for thousands of years, unchanged from ancient times, using the divine way to control thousands of creatures, the world is in turmoil

, prosperity, peace, and stability are all in the mind of Shinto. "

"I think he is pretending to use the name of Shinto to maintain his superior status, but the facts have proved that it is the same. His Shinto lacks justice. If the Shinto is supreme, then tens of millions of souls will be enslaved. This is the future I see. So he was cut down from the Heavenly Palace by me."

"As for your philosophy, the national teacher, if I come to judge, you, the national teacher, practice the way of a demon, and control the court with the ability and deeds of a demon, but as the power of your demon way continues to expand, sooner or later the court will no longer It is the imperial court, but the court of demons. Officials are no longer human beings, they are all demons.

The way of man is not much different from the philosophy of Shinto. "

"A monster is a monster after all. It has no humanity and cannot understand people's feelings. The result of this kind of governance is still slavery, because the people are unarmed and do not know magic. They can't beat you monsters. Once the demon court is established, the people will never turn over. Not even the qualification to change the dynasty with a wave of arms

stripped away. "

"So I don't agree with your philosophy. Although I agree with what you are doing now, there will always be divergences on the same road. At that time, I felt that there was only one way for me and you to go on."

Li Xiuyuan turned his head and stared at the national teacher with burning eyes.

"Since Li Shengren, you think my way is the way of monsters, so it is the way of monsters. It's just Li Shengren's idea of ​​co-governance by man and god. Can it be implemented? Your way is humane, and the way of humanity can overcome the way of monsters. , Shendao, if your way is successful, the human way will flourish in the future, where are there monsters in the world?
Tao, where does Shinto live? "

"The gods of Dongyue know this, and so do some ghosts, so they are preventing you from becoming enlightened. The only ones who can agree with you are those ghosts and gods who were born out of humans. There are infinite obstacles to this way, and it is difficult to achieve this way in your lifetime."

The national teacher shook his head and sighed: "Your lifespan is limited, it must not exceed a hundred, and enlightenment is so elusive."

"You are wrong. My Taoism is humane, but it also gives ghosts and spirits a living space, because I never thought of letting people govern ghosts and spirits, but ghosts and gods govern ghosts and spirits, and spirits govern spirits. My Tao has a kind of The meaning of tolerance is inside, and the Shinto of Dongyue Shenjun, and the national teacher you

However, the demon way lacks tolerance. "

"However, I don't think you are wrong, because one of you is a god and the other is a demon. It is normal to practice the way of the gods, and the way of the demon. But also, I am a human being, and there is nothing wrong with walking the way of the human." Li Xiuyuan said.

"So today, in your opinion, Li Shengren, should this Du Ze be killed?" The national teacher pondered for a while, and suddenly pointed at Du Ze.

Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, but he understood the meaning of the words of the national teacher.

The layout of the national preceptor in the capital has just begun, and the ghost under his hand has just captured a servant of the Ministry of punishment. The other court ministers may not have succeeded. If they do it themselves today, it is certain that the national preceptor will definitely not stop it.

But at the same time, it means that the possibility of cooperation has been lost with each other, and they are enemies.

"Sooner or later, this centipede will be my confidant's big trouble. His idea seems to be for the people of the world. In fact, when the idea is realized, this world is no longer the world of people, but the world of demons. In his eyes My beautiful world is hell in my eyes." Li Xiuyuan's eyes flickered
: "It's just that the current situation in the capital is unpredictable. The ghosts and gods in my south still need some time to go north. Now he must first govern the government and clear the court. This is also a good thing."

"And there's nothing wrong with his words. You can't do little evil, but it's hard to do great good."

As soon as he thought of this, his killing intent calmed down, and the thunder in his hand disappeared.

"Seeking common ground while reserving differences, the capital city is in chaos and can be governed, does the national teacher think so?" Li Xiuyuan turned around and said.

The national teacher narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Great kindness."

At this moment, the two reached an agreement.

The sage and the great demon are planning to join forces to rule the capital.

As for who will become enlightened in the future, it depends on the abilities of the two.

Now is not the time to turn around.

Li Xiuyuan didn't want to waste time, and the national teacher didn't want to have another enemy for no reason.

"In this case, I won't disturb the national teacher today, and I will leave." Li Xiuyuan saluted, turned and left, and when he reached the door, he stopped suddenly and said: "By the way, I hate centipedes very much. If the teacher is free, you may wish to urge the official department, my itinerary seems to be delayed by the official department

Delayed. "

"I don't like roosters either, but I always hear the roosters crowing in the capital every day, don't I? I heard that the sage went north to Beijing and brought a big rooster, which is very extraordinary."

The national teacher smiled and said: "Because Zhang Yuan of the Ministry of Officials sent someone to assassinate you, his luck and blessings have been exhausted. It is time to make a move. Please wait a few more days. I believe it will not be too long." of."

Li Xiuyuan's heart trembled.

Is this national teacher going to attack Zhang Yuan from the Ministry of Officials?
Looking back, he flicked his fingers, and a thunderbolt flew out, hitting Du Ze's body.

"Ah~!"

Du Ze let out a scream, and fell to the ground convulsed all over. His breath was weak, but he did not die.

"The poisonous insects he kept in captivity offended me and should be punished." Li Xiuyuan said.

"It should be." The national teacher smiled more kindly.

This is a sage showing majesty, and it is also a warning to himself not to cross the line.

Li Xiuyuan left.

He didn't kill Du Ze, not because he couldn't kill him, but because the national teacher behind him didn't want to turn his face so quickly.

Because what the teacher of this country is doing now is not excessive.

Shouldn't Du Ze be executed for corrupting the law?
Zhang Yuan sent someone to assassinate himself, is this something that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials can do?

That felony that wasn't beheading?

For Li Xiuyuan, death of these corrupt officials is not a pity, but even if he wanted to do it, he would not be able to use magic to kill people, but he would only use political means.

But he didn't want to waste time on intrigues.

Coincidentally, the appearance of the national teacher can be used by him. Of course, the same national teacher is also using his own ability to deal with the big demons and evil spirits in the capital.

"Seek common ground while reserving differences? This national teacher can deal with it better than Dongyue Shenjun." Li Xiuyuan sighed in his heart.

And at this moment, in the study.

"Ahem. Ancestor, this Li Xiuyuan is so arrogant, even if he is a saint, how could he be able to do it with his abilities." Du Ze coughed up blood and was seriously injured, not his body, but his soul.

The national teacher glared at him coldly: "If my plan is ruined, if he doesn't kill you, I will kill you too. It is the most stupid thing to turn against Li Xiuyuan now. He saw this clearly so he didn't kill you. You, you have served me respectfully and respectfully when you see Li Xiuyuan from today on, what does he have?
So I told you to do as much as possible, and all the small things should be followed by him. First, stabilize this saint. The white lotus of the Wutong Sect has fallen into his hands, and the three generals of the ghost foreman have also been beheaded by him. out. "

"These two parties will not let it go. They are my confidantes. It would be the best if I can kill them with Li Xiuyuan's hand."

"Yes, Patriarch." Facing the sharp gaze, Du Ze couldn't help trembling, and hurriedly responded.

The national teacher then returned to his kind and compassionate appearance, like a good old man: "Do things well, do more good deeds, and accumulate virtue, it will be good for you."

After speaking, a golden light appeared behind him, forming a Buddha seal, and he turned around and walked into the golden light, disappearing.
