Liaozhai Great Sage

"Master Li, you go in. The ancestor dreamed that only Lord Li is allowed to enter the ancestral hall today, and no one else is allowed to enter. The old man was not sure before, but since Mr. Li came to visit today, it means that the ancestor asked the dream to be true. Old man Absolutely dare not go against the wishes of our ancestors." Zhu Qian stopped and motioned.

"Is it just me?" Li Xiuyuan's expression moved slightly, and he nodded immediately; "If that's the case, then today is the time to interrupt."

The other Zhu family scholars and literati next to them did not intend to stop them. On the contrary, they were very solemn and pious. Judging from their expressions, if Li Xiuyuan did not agree to go in today, he would probably be unhappy.

After a moment.

Li Xiuyuan came to Zhu's ancestral hall alone.

He moved his eyes slightly, glanced at it, and there seemed to be nothing special about it.

At least he didn't see any ghosts appearing in his eyes.

"Go in and have a look." But when Li Xiuyuan just stepped into the ancestral hall, he felt a sudden breeze, and a strong smell of incense rushed towards a place with the breeze. Gather and go.

"It's such a strong incense. Only a family of priests can have such incense?"

Li Xiuyuan was a little surprised. Under such incense, it was enough to give birth to a ghost with high morals.

But nothing unusual happened on the rows of tablets in front of him.

"Clatter, clatter..." A portrait of the ancestors hanging in the center of the ancestral hall trembled in the breeze.

That portrait is... semi-holy, Zhu Xi?

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan was stunned.Then he said with a smile: "It turned out that Zhu Shengren was invited by his spirit, so this junior is being polite."

The portrait trembled, and the ignited incense in the ancestral hall condensed in front of the portrait, and then turned into an old man wearing a Confucian shirt and a square hat. Although this old man was old, his eyes were bright and energetic, as if encompassing the world , See through all the truths in the world.

Li Xiuyuan subconsciously took a look with his divine eye technique.

But seeing the clear light on the old man's head shrouded in all directions, all kinds of articles and Neo Confucianism in it radiated light, which seemed to soar into the sky, making people feel stinging eyes and dare not look directly at it.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Mr. Li." The old man looked at him calmly and said slowly.

Li Xiuyuan also said: "I have always wanted to visit Mr. Zhu once, and ask Mr. Zhu about some things. I hope Mr. Zhu can give me some advice today, so as to clear up the doubts in my heart."

"The younger generation is awesome, but there is no good teacher on the road, so be an axe." Zhu Shengren still looked at him and said.

Chapter 729 Preserving Heavenly Principles and Destroying Human Desires

It's hard to imagine the ghosts and spirits in the world, on this peaceful day.

Li Xiuyuan, a born saint, will meet the last saint in an unremarkable mansion, in an ordinary ancestral hall.

The former is a born sage who is determined to govern the world of ghosts and gods, and uses strong methods and methods to clear the world and reset the rules of Yin and Yang. Confucianism, determined to carry forward and educate the people.

One was young and full of vigor, the other died halfway, and died of illness on the bed, and the god of ghosts and gods, who was already aging, appeared in front of him.

But those who can take this road, no matter whether they have met before or are familiar with each other in the future, they are worthy of respect.

Because whether it is Li Xiuyuan or Zhu Shengren, their final goals are almost the same, and they are all for the four words of peace in the world.

Zhu Shengren said first: "I have been a ghost for a long time. I originally wanted to reincarnate and contribute to the world with a useful body, but I didn't, because I can't let go of this world. Most of the people left in this world will be infamous, so today I don’t want to see the second person fall into the same fate as this old man.”

"I don't know what great opinion Mr. Zhu has?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"You will die." Zhu Sheng said humanely.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Everyone will die, and I am no exception, and I have never thought about immortality."

"Your way is endless." Zhu Shengren said again.

"How did you meet?"

Zhu Shengren said: "You have killed too much, and the cause and effect are too heavy. Once your luck declines, you will encounter a catastrophe of life and death, which is almost impossible to survive. Moreover, your way has gone astray. You want to rule ghosts and gods, and you want to calm down the world. It is not advisable, you can succeed only if you are firm together, if you can't let go, you will get nothing."

Li Xiuyuan became silent when he heard the words, and he had to say that this Zhu Shengren had a very vicious vision, and he really cared too much.

"I heard from a god that you can resolve my karma for me?" He turned to ask, "I wonder if Elder Zhu can help me with this?"

"Then you have to agree to the old man's request first." Zhu Shengren said.

"Mr. Zhu, please speak frankly." Li Xiuyuan said.

Zhu Shengren said: "Be sure to leave the capital after one month, and don't go north for the rest of your life. If you agree, your Karma old man will memorize it for you and help you achieve enlightenment."

"How to help?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Zhu Shengren said: "Da Song gave birth to and raised you for twenty years, and you have been protecting the country for twenty years. This old man can only help you after this great karma."

"How do you say that Mr. Zhu wants me to serve the court?" Li Xiuyuan said: "I didn't expect Mr. Zhu to be a patriotic person, but the current court is not the court when you were alive. Things are different, and time can change. There are so many things, why do I feel that the Great Song Kingdom is going to be ruined and cannot be saved?"

"No, you have no choice. This karma is irrelevant, and your way cannot be fulfilled. This old man has both selfishness and sincerity, and it's not just to persuade you." Zhu Shengren said: "After becoming a ghost, this old man understands many things, such as... ..."

"For example what?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Zhu Sheng said: "For example, the emperor of the next dynasty should be named Zhu."

"That's terrible, Mr. Zhu's good fortune stretches, and he will bless his descendants, and the descendants will have an emperor." Li Xiuyuan laughed.

He didn't mean to make fun of it, on the contrary he was a little surprised.

Leaving the luck of fortune to his descendants means that Zhu Shengren can't become a saint or a god. He can only go to reincarnation. Otherwise, luck and luck will always be with him. For future generations, if a certain person is born at the right time, with this luck and blessings, becoming a prince and general is not enough to exhaust the luck. Only an emperor can inherit such luck and blessings.

"Because only in this way can I inherit all your karma with the power of a dynasty. Your Dao will start after the old man's luck is exhausted. When the karma is eliminated, your Dao will be a way to reach the sky." Zhu Shengren said.

"How can I say that I have to wait for hundreds of years?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"Some things are worth waiting for, just like the old man is waiting for you." Zhu Shengren said.

Li Xiuyuan said again: "I'm curious about a few things, Mr. Zhu, please don't be offended. It is recorded in Mr. Zhu's book that you really died of beriberi?"

Zhu Sheng said: "No, he was framed and poisoned by villains. The old man's ideas have influenced many people in the world. Some people agree with them, and naturally others oppose them. It's not surprising that the dispute over ideas has turned into an intriguing fight."

"Idea? Preserve the principles of nature and eliminate human desires?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Zhu Shengren's face darkened immediately when he heard the words: "Has the world distorted the old man's ideas to such a serious extent? Do you know what the old man said?"

"Not sure."

Zhu Sheng said: "Diet is the law of nature, the delicacies of mountains and seas, human desires, husband and wife, the laws of heaven, three wives and four concubines, human desires, the old man's preservation of natural principles and elimination of human desires, which means that we should eat normally and not pursue those things. Luxurious delicacies from mountains and seas are just a waste of money, extravagance and indulgence, how can there be any merits? Husband and wife, is it the law of heaven? This old man teaches the people to love their wives, and they should not indulge themselves wantonly with three wives and four concubines."

"Those vicious literati in later generations took the meaning out of context. This is to make this old man notorious for thousands of years. Moreover, when I talk about Neo-Confucianism, I even debate Yin and Yang, and use the theory of Yin and Yang to solve the confusion of ghosts and gods, so that the people of the world should not be superstitious about ghosts and gods. Is this also wrong? gone?"

After finishing speaking, even after being dead for so many years, I couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

The beautiful idea has been misinterpreted like this, if his body is not dead, he might jump out of the coffin right now.
