Liaozhai Great Sage

"What does the life and death of mortals have to do with this god? Don't say that you are under the command of a saint in the world, even if you are under the command of Tianzun of the Immortal Palace, the god will not be polite. I will just sit and watch him die, and I will wait for the two mountain gods to point out and guard you ghosts and monsters."

Mountain God Gen Yue shouted loudly, flying over from behind him at some point.

Genyue Mountain God held a huge ax and chopped off the head of the ghost king holding the sword.

People will die without their heads, and ghosts and gods will die if their heads are cut off.

The last time the sword-wielding ghost king was split in half by the Zhenshan sword, it was luck that he didn't split his head, otherwise he would have died directly, and it was impossible to survive.

"Oops." The ghost king with the sword turned pale in shock, seeing the huge ax fall, he was already in a state of chills.

He was only concerned with guarding against the Shoushan Mountain God holding the Zhenshan Sword, but he almost forgot that there was also a Genyue Mountain God.

"Die."

Genyue Mountain God struck down with an axe, extremely powerful.

However, at this critical moment, a ray of purple light suddenly fell from the sky, hitting the Genyue Mountain God's back at an extremely fast speed.

"Boom~!"

Genyue Mountain God's divine body exploded, let out a scream, and flew out directly, and finally hit the mud below.

"I heard what you said. I really admire your loyalty to protect the court, but this indifference to death also makes me feel angry. It's not long before the people are in danger, and it's not long before the saints are in trouble. I don't know. In the future, if your emperor encounters an accident, will you save the two mountain gods here?"

"It must be known that the emperor is also a mortal."

Li Xiuyuan was standing in mid-air at this moment, wrapped in purple energy all over his body, and dragons and phoenixes were flying around, like loyal guards protecting the safety of his soul.

"Purple qi covers the top, but the qi is not visible? You are not a cultivator, you are the sage in the south. It is rumored that you have learned the great sword of cutting immortals, and you are feared by the heavenly palace. It is also rumored that you were born with a seven-apertured exquisite heart, and demons ate you. The heart can directly become a fairy, I never thought that you would come out of your body and come to the capital today, you are really bold, you are so far away from your body, are you not afraid of something happening to your body?"

Seeing this scene, Shoushan Mountain God was furious at first, thinking that the ghost king with the sword had brought helpers to ambush around, but after a serious look, he was shocked.

The person in front of him is most likely the human saint in the south.

His fame has spread all over the world.

Ghosts and gods do not know.

"Oh, the mountain gods in the north actually know my name. It seems that I, Li, are somewhat famous." Li Xiuyuan said calmly.

Chapter 4 The Saint Slays the Mountain God

The appearance of Li Xiuyuan instantly stunned the two mountain gods of Shoushan and Genyue.

Although they are not immortal gods in the Heavenly Palace, they are also conferred as gods by the imperial court. As long as the Great Song Dynasty survives, their status is not as low as that of the imperially conferred gods in the Heavenly Palace. Song Guo was once powerful and had unique advantages. Although the time to become a mountain god was very short, his Taoism was extremely high.

A ghost king can be cut if he says to cut it.

However, this kind of mountain gods conferred by the imperial court has one of the biggest disadvantages, that is, once the dynasty changes, their vitality will come to an end. A cultivator who is a human immortal is at ease.

Shoushan Mountain God held the Zhenshan Sword at this moment, and glanced at Genyue Mountain God who had laid down on the ground.

However, he saw that the armor on Gen Yue Mountain God's body was broken, and there was a big hole in his back. There was no blood flowing out, but there was a stream of incense, and Yin Qi came out rustlingly, continuously spilling out.

Once the body of ghosts and gods is injured, what is damaged is Taoism.

Without certainty of victory, ghosts and gods are not willing to fight with others, because even if they win, it will damage their morality.

"Li Xiuyuan, you are a saint in the south, and we are mountain gods in the north, protecting the safety of the capital. There is a well between you and me. In the future, you will gain fame and fame, become an official in the court, and help the world and the common people. We are also the same. Colleagues, we might be able to work together for the current steward in the future, but today you are out of your body and attacking us because of a mere ghost king, what are you trying to do? Rebellion?"

Shoushan Mountain God spoke righteously and severely reprimanded Li Xiuyuan.

"Since you know that I may become an official in the court in the future and help the world, why do you want to stop the ghost king from escorting my subordinates? You just don't want to save me. I don't blame you for this. After all, my guards have no Offering incense to you, if you offer incense, it is another matter, and Confucius has said that it is not courageous to see righteousness and not do it."

Speaking of this, Li Xiuyuan's face turned cold: "You don't have to save people, but why do you want to stop the ghost king I sent to save people?"

"It's our duty. We are ordered to guard the capital, and the ones we stop are demons and goblins."

Shoushan Mountain God said: "I heard that Li Shengren persuaded people with reasoning and killed demons in the name of being upright. Are you going to go against your heart because of personal grievances today?"

He has become a god for hundreds of years, even though he was granted imperial title after the death of a general, but he has been in the capital for so long, so how can he not know some truths after hearing and seeing.

At this moment, it is used to refute Li Xiuyuan, and let him be wrong first, so this battle may not be able to be fought.

However, Li Xiuyuan laughed; "You also know that I kill evil spirits in the name of being upright? But do you know that I have another reason to kill evil spirits besides killing evil spirits in the name of being upright?"

"If there are ghosts, gods and demons who obstruct my way in the world, I will be punished."

"Officials have official ways, ghosts have ghost ways, gods have divine ways, and I have my own way. There is nothing wrong with human officials fighting for power and profit, there is nothing wrong with ghosts greedy for incense, and there is nothing wrong with gods exercising divine power. You are loyal to your duties, and there is nothing wrong with guarding the capital. Wrong, then whose fault is it that the world is chaotic and the people withered? Is it God's fault?"

"It's ridiculous, there is no pure right and wrong in the world. If I argue with you ghosts and gods, even if I argue to the death, I can't tell the difference. Because in my opinion, right and wrong are different because of different status. Therefore, there are many differences between people and ghosts. There is no way to understand each other, so I can only uphold one thought, carry out my ideals in this life, and complete my journey in the world to see if ghosts and gods rule in this world, or I, a sage in this world, rule."

"Therefore, those who prevent me from becoming enlightened, whether you are ghosts, gods, demons, or officials and ordinary people, you should be punished."

After he finished speaking, his gaze was bright and majestic, and he was determined not to be swayed by the words of these two mountain gods.

Li Xiuyuan has come to this point today, and he is about to raise troops to quell the chaos. He doesn't know how many people and evil spirits he will kill in the future. If his heart is shaken, can't he be in a cocoon?

If Confucius had softened his heart when punishing Shao Zhengmao, perhaps his ideas would not have been passed down.

A trace of panic appeared in the eyes of Shoushan Mountain God when he heard the words. Frightened by Li Xiuyuan's firm belief at this moment, he couldn't help but take a step back.

Since ancient times, enlightenment has been both a great good and a great evil.

Li Xiuyuan in front of him, with the fate of a born saint, the way he wants to walk is a great evil to ghosts and gods. After his way is over, I don't know how many ghosts and gods will die under his sword of killing immortals.

"So, Li Xiuyuan, are you determined to fight against our two mountain gods?" Shoushan Mountain God calmed down and shouted in a deep voice.

"It's not that I'm against you. I'm not against anyone. It's you who blocked my way. If I let you go today, there will be ghosts and gods who will use other reasons to hinder me in the future. If I let go, then in the future Wouldn't it be difficult for me to move forward? Don't you two mountain gods know the allusion of not allowing thieves?"

Not allowing robbery means not agreeing to the robber's request.

This is a story that happened to Qiao Xuan at the end of the Han Dynasty. It tells the story of a group of robbers who tied up Qiao Xuan’s son and asked Qiao Xuan to pay the ransom. into the hands of robbers.

But it was precisely because of this that the imperial court issued an injunction that all robbers who took hostages were not allowed to pay ransom. Since then, there will be no more robbers.

The current situation is similar, if Li Xiuyuan let go of the two mountain gods, he would be allowing them to spoil him.

Today you can rely on the excuse of your duty to spoil your own affairs, and indirectly kill your two loyal guards. Tomorrow, there will be other ghosts and gods who follow the gourd, and continue to act with such an excuse, then you will not be punished. punish?

If he doesn't punish him, he won't be able to do anything in the future, and he will be completely led away by ghosts and gods.

"My reasoning is over, can the two mountain gods be convinced?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Shoushan Mountain God is at a loss for words at the moment, he was born as a general, although he understands a lot of truths of scholars, how can he be the opponent of Li Xiuyuan who was born as a serious scholar.

Words could not convince him, and the justifications he relied on before were dismissed, and his arrogance suddenly disappeared a lot, and he was not as aggressive as before.
