Me and countless me
Chapter 216: A joke about what happens to mortals after they die
"Brother, this matter must be explained in detail!"
Li Ke, who had burst into swear words, spoke seriously.
The reason why he was working as a paperhanger here safely, and even had the intention of waiting for Liu Xiu to kill him, was because of this six reincarnations!
Because he knew two things.
The first thing is that if the Han Dynasty can survive, it is better not to perish, because this is very important for cultivating the idea of great unity and cohesion.
The second thing is that if the Han Dynasty is finished now, it will be very troublesome.
The history of the people of the Celestial Empire is the history of fighting with nomadic peoples, and during this period, the nomadic peoples have already vaguely intended to form an empire.
In other words, if the Han Dynasty fell at this time, without the deterrence of the Han Dynasty army, and internal fighting broke out in advance, then it would be absolutely no problem for a nomadic court like the Yuan and Qing Dynasties to be established.
This matter is nothing in the future dynasties, because naturally there will be people willing to restore the Han River and Mountains, relying on the strong integration ability to turn these ethnic minorities into their own people.
But it is not possible now.
If something happens now, the theory of great unification and the cohesion of the people of the Celestial Empire will be shattered in an instant.
There must be a paperhanger to suppress the signs of these people, and then the Western Han Dynasty can perish, and this person can only be him. It is not that Li Ke looks down on others, but they really can't do it.
A group of bastards who are fighting for power in natural disasters and man-made disasters are impossible to expect them to win the war.
In addition, he also released Yin Lihua to build his own power. Although I don’t know why Yin Lihua has never sent a letter, now the whole Han Dynasty knows that the Yin family is their own people and their own power. When they need it, they can naturally let the Yin family take action.
As for now, it’s just that it’s not necessary yet.
Things like iron smelting plants, he let the Yin family take them. Only soap, distilled liquor and other time-consuming and labor-intensive things, before the grain production increases, can’t benefit the public at all, but will weaken their own power. Li Ke gave them to these aristocratic families.
It’s not that he didn’t make preparations.
Moreover, according to the theory of the six reincarnations, as the actual ruler of this empire, he constantly uses various methods to help the people of the empire and save more people. Yin De and Merit both exist!
Just like some water conservancy projects that he ordered to be built, he came up with the drawings, he proposed the plans, he snatched the money from the mouths of those greedy bastards, and he found his subordinates.
In this case, after a water conservancy project is completed, both merit and Yin De are a large amount of money. In this way, even if he, Li Ke, dies, he can have enough merit to keep his consciousness, enter the immortal way in the next life, and renew his relationship with his wives, instead of drinking Meng Po soup directly, completely forgetting the things in this life, and completely parting with his wife and parents.
Moreover, he is in a high position, and can better protect his power and develop the power of the Yin family, instead of only being able to develop himself.
So in this way, it is a good thing for both the Han people in this world and his personal destiny.
Li Ke can accept it regardless of winning or losing, but it is just that he, Li Ke, has to consume some merit, which is not a big deal.
Under these conditions, he would feel at ease to stay here and be a paperhanger. Otherwise, he would have been thinking of ways to get by. Whether it was to make himself disabled on the surface or to rely on some small props to make himself look seriously ill, it was not a problem for him, Li Ke.
But if the Six Paths of Reincarnation do not actually exist now, his support is gone! This means that if he, Li Ke, dies, there is a high probability that he will go directly to hell! He is really dead! There is no possibility of turning over!
Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, and seeing Li Ke so anxious, he quickly explained.
"The current Six Paths of Reincarnation actually exists, but the actual operation, that is, to clean the soul memory of mortals and then reincarnate, involves many things. So it has not been officially operated, so it can be said that it does not actually exist."
Yang Jian paused, then spoke.
"Although in theory, this is a good thing that can allow everyone to finally walk on the road to liberation, and can also suppress those ghosts in the underworld and hell who are unwilling to practice, as well as those evil ghosts who want to return to the world to do evil, so that they can gradually understand their mistakes, but there is one thing that is very important... that is, is the soul that has cleansed its memory still the same person as before?"
Yang Jian's expression was very serious, and Nezha finally stopped eating, holding a big chicken leg in each hand, and nodded.
"Because the first batch of ghosts who entered the six reincarnations are completely different from their former selves, they are basically two different existences. Kind people become cruel, and strong people become weak because of this, so the gods in charge of the underworld have a lot of doubts. Because this is undoubtedly to completely kill a person, rather than letting a person rely on his own efforts to get rid of it."
Li Ke was silent, he really didn't expect this, and Yang Jian continued to explain.
"So although the Great Heavenly Lord has ordered the merger of the underworld, all the underworlds, the underworld, and the underworld to be merged into one, it is still very difficult to implement the six-path reincarnation plan, because now there is no way to confirm that the memory has disappeared. Whether you are still the same person as before, and if not, then reincarnation is meaningless... Therefore, those who enter the six paths of reincarnation now are basically practitioners and heinous evildoers, while other people still behave in the same way as before. Personal beliefs are assigned to the underworld."
These words made Li Ke's scalp numb and he couldn't help but interrupt.
"Didn't the information say that the Six Paths of Reincarnation had officially begun more than three hundred years ago? Why hasn't the merger of the underworld been completed for so long?"
Li Ke's words were a little difficult, but Yang Jian and Nezha looked at each other, and then asked Li Ke a soul question.
"Taoist Li Ke, have you forgotten something?"
"What?"
"One day in heaven, one year on earth!"
Li Ke suddenly felt that he had nothing to say.
Yang Jian picked up a glass of wine, looked at Li Ke in a daze, and continued to make additional cuts.
"Furthermore, in terms of the cleanup work between the various underworlds, whether all the remaining ghosts in the underworld will be saved, or whether they will wait until the six reincarnations officially run and then go through the six reincarnations. Who wants to continue to live in the underworld, and who can go to Laojun's outer world? Who will serve their sentence in hell, who will escort these guilty souls, whether some ancient guilty souls need to have their sentences changed, and the verification of the confessions of some innocent souls are all a lot of questions. It does not mean that they will be merged into one hell. It will be merged into one underworld. The most important thing is that the handover issues of the various departments of the heaven and the issues of the powers of the large and small gods are also very troublesome and require enough time to hand over and discuss. "
Speaking of this, Yang Jian pointed at himself.
"I am not a talented person, I am more or less responsible for the management of a place. It is similar to a city god. I have the power to increase and decrease the life span of mortals, increase and decrease the fortune and fortune. I even have a small underworld to restrain and manage me. After the establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, whether my own authority should be handed over, and how should it be modified? If so, how can I make correct judgments in the future? As...well. ...Whether the existence of the City God itself is necessary is a series of questions. Moreover, gods also have holidays, rotations, and cultivation requirements. This is why the powers and departments of many gods overlap. , many gods and powerful people who hold the power in the underworld are in retreat. Many people don't even know that the Six Paths of Reincarnation has been established, and even the underworld established is their own underworld. There are even many great gods who have gone to heaven. They are traveling abroad, how will they hand over this part of their rights..."
Yang Jian's words revealed a lot, and Nezha also added something at this time.
"It's like Empress Nuwa suddenly brought out some human beings and rewarded some human beings. Are you saying that the underworld, which relies on the existence of six reincarnations, recognizes this and gives Empress Nuwa this authority, or do you think that Empress Nuwa is operating in violation of regulations? How about punishing Empress Nuwa with the rules of heaven?”
Li Ke felt his scalp numb just by listening to it.
Because now the affairs of the underworld have been explained very clearly by these two gods.
The six paths of reincarnation have not been established, and even now the underworld is divided. Now it is purely in the PPT stage, and I have been tricked by the ancestor.
So Li Ke took a deep breath and asked.
"So what if, can I ask a question?"
Li Ke's look made Yang Jian and Nezha look at each other, and then Yang Jian asked.
"Excuse me, Taoist Li Ke. For the sake of this glass of wine, I will answer you."
Looking at Yang Jian's appearance, Li Ke took a deep breath and slowly said what he wanted to ask.
"I have a friend...he, because of this, he feels that the six-path reincarnation system exists, so he has been seriously thinking of ways to let more people live, and wants to exchange merit for immortality, but, well, now In this situation, my friend may be pushed to usurp the Han Dynasty due to various reasons..."
Halfway through Li Ke's words, Yang Jian raised his hand.
"He will die miserably, because we are now in the merger stage of the underworld, and everything will be dealt with strictly. Once he dies, he will have nine ways to lose his soul."
As if he was afraid that he would not be able to convince Li Ke, Yang Jian even stretched out his hand and made a nine.
"Nine types!"
Li Ke was silent and then asked again.
"Then my friend's family..."
"It's the same, and if he neglected his duties and caused greater damage, it would be even more miserable. Because the current accumulation of merit and virtue and manpower are actually not in place. Heaven and earth only look at the results, not the process. . Moreover, during this period, gods will continue to descend to the earth to ensure that there will be no major chaos in the mortal world during this period of fusion."
Li Ke suddenly felt short of breath, and then nodded.
"clear."
I was tricked by my own teacher!
In other words, he was tricked by the Indian, Sakyamuni!
But how could the Six Paths of Reincarnation not yet be established!
How can it still be a PPT stage? !
But it’s normal to think like this. After all, we are Indians, so it’s normal to use PPT to bluff people.
Then there's an idea.
"Just what is the Great Heavenly Lord..."
If the Jade Emperor wanted to, then all these things should be solved in an instant! Moreover, in Journey to the West, it was Taishang Laojun who created the world, so Taishang Laojun could do it too!
Li Ke did not believe that the calculation ability of the great supernatural powers was not as strong as that of him who could only be regarded as a minor one, and he also felt that the Jade Emperor did not have the ability to know 500 years in the past and 500 years in the future.
"Because, this is a human matter, Taoist Li Ke, do you think that immortals are still human? To be precise, are immortals considered human beings, or another race? There is a need for immortals and human beings to be connected, or in other words..."
Yang Jian's tone became unusually subtle.
"Do immortals need to care about mortals? You may not know that during the ancient battle of conferred gods, using babies and pregnant women as consumables for casting spells could be regarded as a legitimate law at that time."
Li Ke suddenly felt a chill in his spine and understood everything.
Nezha on the side continued to eat the cold lotus root slices, disdaining Yang Jian's question, because he considered himself a human being. Even if he had become a lotus root now, he still considered himself a human being.
Immortals are just an identity, not a race, but he also knew that for some immortals, immortals are already a race.
In other words, they are born immortals and are not human beings at all.
"The Great Heavenly Venerable does not want to see immortals completely separated from humans, but whether they can be transcendental after becoming immortals or saints depends on the individual, so many times, many problems can only be left to mortals to solve themselves. How to achieve a prosperous world without worries is itself a kind of practice and test."
At this point, Yang Jian looked at Li Ke and chuckled.
"You don't think that those in high positions can easily obtain a lot of merits and obtain high positions after death without any price, right?"
Li Ke certainly knew that there was a price, just like people in high positions who took the lead in organizing good deeds have merits, but if they took the lead in doing bad things...
Then the bad things done by your subordinates will also be counted on your head.
After a moment of silence, Li Ke sighed.
"God's will."
Shaking his head, he probably understood what his original "destiny" was in this world of Journey to the West.
The Heavenly Court is currently establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and it needs to reform and rebuild the underworld system, and a lot of things are naturally increasing. He was scared just thinking about how many troubles there would be during the period. It is estimated that there will be many wronged souls and evil spirits who will take the opportunity to enter the world and cause chaos.
In this case, no matter what the considerations are, the already precarious Western Han Dynasty cannot be easily destroyed. It needs a sufficiently virtuous person to temporarily stabilize it, so as to give another person who can establish a new order time to develop.
This person can be him, Wang Mang, or Liu Xiu. But there must be someone with enough ability to come, this is inevitable.
And it just so happens that the Wang family wants to go further, and Liu Xiu, as a relative of the Han Dynasty, naturally wants to maintain the Han Dynasty. In essence, it is still a struggle between the aristocratic family and the imperial power, and the self-rescue of the collapsed social order.
The destiny of heaven and the will of man come together, the so-called destiny, this is it.
He Li Ke can fake his death and escape, and then secretly develop military forces, so that Liu Xiu can come to the fore because of destiny, and stabilize the imperial power as a royal relative.
But the difference is that compared to him, a paperhanger, if Liu Xiu does it, the people of the Western Han Dynasty will die a lot, a lot, a lot more.
Liu Xiu does not have as much knowledge as him, and does not have so many new things to feed the jackals, and the people of the Western Han Dynasty will suffer a lot of sins.
"I should still have time to regret it now."
Li Ke picked up the wine glass, his mouth was a little bitter, but he still drank it all.
"But this thing of defying heaven does sound very cool."
Farming, martyrdom, and explosion with him.
These are the three characteristics of the people of the Celestial Empire, and they must be tasted.
Li Ke naturally has such characteristics.
Yang Jian looked at Li Ke and smiled, which made Nezha, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, suddenly have a subtle feeling.
He suspected that Yang Jian came with a mission!
It was not like him, he really came here for a free meal!
