Chapter 497 Ancient Secrets
Ye Xueying said in her heart: I just got up and brushed my teeth, you tell me this.Fortunately I didn't go.

"What does the emperor look like?" Ye Xueying asked a little curiously.

"I didn't see it." Xu Juan said regretfully.

Ye Xueying is speechless, you haven't seen it yet, what is the reason for being so excited?

Xu Juan said mysteriously: "I heard that a beautiful girl from the North Courtyard fell in front of the emperor. Guess what happened next?"

Ye Xueying said lazily: "I guess! That unlucky girl must have been dragged out to beat the board."

Xu Juan looked at her with her mouth wide open, and said in surprise, "Did you see it?"

Ye Xueying rolled her eyes and said: "The emperor must have seen such a clichéd move before. Playing with the emperor in such a pediatric way, isn't that courting death? It's her luck that she didn't kill her."

Xu Juan nodded repeatedly.

"Don't play tricks with the emperor, you can't play with him. You have stayed in the palace safely, and after ten years of hard work, you will have a chance to go out." Ye Xueying said earnestly.

She had recently inquired that court ladies could invite themselves out of the palace at the age of 25.The palace will also send a settling fee.

Ye Xueying made up her mind, if she really can't find a way out of the palace, she should find a quiet place to stay and wait until she is 25 years old before going out.

In her opinion, Xu Juan is a timid and responsible little girl.If she had to learn to fight for favor, the result would be a violent death. She might as well be a little palace maid like she is now.Maybe the hard work is a bit hard, at least I can survive.

Xu Juan nodded in agreement.

Entrusted by the Emperor Shang, Cao Menglei, the virtuous concubine of Shang, went home to visit her relatives.

After walking through the scene, she met with her grandfather alone, and asked, "Grandfather, do you have any news about the Great Tribulation?"

Cao Shan, the president of Shang Academy, said melancholy: "The catastrophe of heaven and earth has begun."

Cao Menglei let out a cry of surprise.

Cao Menglei asked puzzled: "Will the catastrophe in the ancient legend really happen?"

Cao Shanchang pondered: "It happened once 10 years ago. It happened again after 10 years."

Cao Menglei asked: "Why is there a catastrophe?"

Cao Shan said: "This is about the way of heaven. The ancient world of practice was destroyed, and our current practice world was developed later. Many ancient secrets are no longer known. Now the world's sects are built according to ancient legends. Practice The world recognizes the existence of the Dao of Heaven, but the Dao of Heaven is vague and unknowable. Due to the different attitudes towards the Dao of Heaven, the Dao practiced by the sects in the world are also different. It can be roughly divided into three ways of following the sky, defying the sky and avoiding the sky.”

It was the first time Cao Menglei heard this statement, and she couldn't help asking: "What do you mean by following the sky, defying the sky, and avoiding the sky?"

Cao Shan said with a long smile: "Like the Wutian religion that everyone is talking about now, it preaches breaking the way of heaven. This is against the sky. The method of prolonging life is also against the sky."

Cao Menglei understood, and said: "Going against the sky is going against the will of the heaven, I understand. What about going along the sky? Is it obeying the heaven?"

Cao Shanzhang nodded and said: "Yes! The most typical Xiangtian sect emphasizes the unity of heaven and man, and assimilation with the way of heaven. They hope to become one with the way of heaven, so as to achieve the goal of longevity with heaven and earth. To be one with the way of heaven, Naturally, there is no such thing as a catastrophe of heaven and earth. And Wang Daozong believes that the emperor is the representative of the will of heaven and earth, representing the way of heaven to control the human world, and assisting the emperor is to assist the way of heaven. The purpose is actually similar to that of Tianyi. The same is true of Gongdezong, who believes that the way of heaven is good. Doing good deeds is the way of heaven, and if you do more good deeds, you will get the gift of the way of heaven. Contributing merit to the world is their purpose. The way of demons regards the way of heaven as evil, and treats all beings as pigs and dogs, and mutilating others for their own benefit."

Cao Menglei suddenly said: "So it is like this!"

Cao Shanchang sneered: "For example, the people of Tianyi Sect want to be the wives and concubines of Tiandao, the people of Wang Daozong want to be the servants of Tiandao, and the Gongdezong also want to be the servants of Tiandao. Although Jingshi Sect It is the Demonic Way, which is actually the same Shuntian faction as the above three schools. It’s just that they are more radical and proactive. The above three schools only care about themselves to win the favor of the Heavenly Dao, while the Jingshi Sect is the sword of the Heavenly Dao, and wants to help the Heavenly Dao eradicate dissidents. To gain the favor of the Dao of Heaven. Another analogy, if the Dao of Heaven is the emperor, the three orthodox religions are honest officials who only want to make meritorious deeds or please the emperor to gain power, and the Jingshi Sect is a cruel official who wants to use killing to please Emperor. Wutianjiao is a traitor who wants to overthrow the emperor and become emperor himself."

Cao Menglei was dumbfounded, and asked after a while, "What about Bitian?"

"The way of heaven is like a knife, and it is unparalleled in sharpness. No one can resist it, as evidenced by the destruction of the ancient practice world. Survivors have come up with some ways to avoid the way of heaven. Nine hundred and ninety-nine years old, one thousand years old, the world will be doomed, and death is inevitable. However, in the world, there are many things that are more than a thousand years old, such as ten thousand years old trees, ten thousand years tortoises, mountains, rivers, sun and moon. The Masquerading School then took another route, trying to find out the art of transformation, turning into spiritual objects or mountains and rivers, so as to avoid the inspection of the Heavenly Dao. Like the Zen School of Buddhism and the Sikong School, and the Yin-Yang School of Taoism are all examples of this.”

Chief Cao Shan added: "Weiweizong has taken another approach, trying to incarnate into heaven and earth and break away from the way of heaven."

Cao Menglei was dumbfounded, she had never heard of such secrets, so she couldn't help asking: "What about my family?"

Cao Shanchang sighed quietly, and said: "My family has passed down the way of killing swords since ancient times, and believes that killing is the highest way of heaven. In ancient times, there were three thousand ways, and each side walked. Every way can lead to the final throne. At the end of the practice, there must be One person can become a saint. Until now, I don’t know if it’s right or wrong.”

Cao Menglei thought for a while. Although these secrets are shocking, the most important thing at the moment is what the catastrophe will be like and how far it will go.

"Grandfather, do you have any news about this catastrophe?"

Cao Shanchang said worriedly: "The catastrophe has actually begun, but most people in the world think it is still in the making. In ancient times, the immortals and Buddhas were all destroyed, but ordinary people were mostly implicated. This catastrophe is probably the same. The main ones are practitioners. It is said that Yuan Liren, the most famous hexagram teacher in the world, vomited blood for three liters, and came up with a sentence."

Cao Menglei hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about?"

"There is snow all over the world, and all the glory is lost!" Cao Shanchang said gloomily.

"What do you mean?" Cao Menglei asked.

"The first sentence may be a metaphor, when the heavy snow falls, the flowers will wither. The second sentence may mean that when the world catastrophe comes, the practitioners in the world will repeat the ancient tragedy, and they will die in all likelihood. Hehe, the higher the cultivation base, the more death Hurry up, people like this old man are probably the first batch to bear the brunt of it."

"Ah? Is there no way to avoid it?" Cao Menglei asked fearfully.

"Heaven is everywhere, he raised the butcher's knife, no matter how we avoid it, we can't hide it." Cao Shanchang chuckled lightly.

Cao Menglei looked at her grandfather speechlessly, knowing that she was the first to bear the brunt, thanks to you, you can still laugh!
Cao Shanchang smiled and said: "Don't look at me like this, my grandfather has lived for more than 700 years, and he has lived enough. When the catastrophe comes, I will also fight against Tiandao. Let Tiandao see, although I am old, the sword Yuri!"
