Prehistoric: Twin lotuses with parallel stems

In the underworld, an independent space was temporarily opened up, and several figures sat cross-legged on each side.

Everyone here is a saint.

Houtu, Qingxuan and Qinglian, Nuwa, Taiqing, Yuqing Yuanshi, Shangqing reaches the sky, guides and guides, Zhunti.

Sanqing and others were slightly surprised to see Qingxuan and Qingxuan here, but then they felt that they were not surprised.

After all, it was Qingxuan and the others who went to deal with the two Lich clans.

However, Hou Tu's situation made them quite concerned. Before Hou Tu became a saint, they didn't know that such a thing existed.

Moreover, during the war between the two Lich clans, the secret of heaven was disrupted, and even they, as saints, could not see the future clearly.

Now, they actually suspect that the people who messed up Tianji are Qingxuan and the others.

But no one asked about it.

Nuwa and others were all looking at Hou Tu, feeling the aura on Hou Tu's body.

Hou Tu is different from them in that the Tao Fruit does not rely on the Tao of Heaven to become a saint.

Hou Tu was able to achieve the status of a saint. Not only ordinary people with great supernatural powers were surprised by this, but Sanqing and others were also surprised. They never thought that ancestral witches could become saints.

Of course, from their perspective, they could see that Hou Tu was no longer the ancestral witch.

And the aura on Hou Tu's body also made them feel a little complicated.

This kind of aura is very similar to the aura of their teacher Hongjun.

Hou Tu is truly in harmony with the Tao. He is not an ordinary saint, but an existence equal to Taoist ancestor Hongjun.

"Congratulations to fellow Taoist Daoist for attaining enlightenment, achieving the status of a saint, establishing reincarnation, and opening the underworld. Your merits are immeasurable." Zhunti spoke first to break the silence.

After that, Sanqing Nuwa and others also opened their mouths to congratulate and greet each other.

However, Hou Tu was born as an ancestral witch, and even if he practiced Taoism, his temper had not changed much, so he naturally didn't like such polite greetings.

After a few polite words, Hou Tu looked at Sanqing and others, and asked directly: "You guys are here, aren't they just here to congratulate you? But it's about reincarnation?"

Hearing this, several people looked at each other and nodded calmly without hiding anything.

"Fellow Taoist establishes reincarnation for all living beings and completes the order of heaven and earth. You, Taoist, are benevolent and we admire you. Reincarnation is established by fellow Taoist. Logically speaking, we should not interfere, but..." Yu Qing paused slightly before continuing to speak. He said, "The matter of reincarnation involves all the beings in the world and is a serious matter. That is why I have taken the liberty to come here to inquire. I ask fellow Taoist friends for your forgiveness."

Jie Yin also spoke at this time: "Reincarnation involves the life and death of all beings, the yin and yang of heaven and earth, but the things here are also involved in our great way. To be honest, fellow Taoist, before this, I I also have some understanding of reincarnation with my junior brother, but not as grandly as my Taoist friend."

"I just came to congratulate fellow Taoists, so I came with them." Seeing Hou Tu's gaze, Nuwa smiled and said casually.

In fact, among the people who came, she was the most indifferent and just came to watch the fun.

All the saints are here, but she is the only one absent. Doesn’t this make her look out of place?

At this time, Sanqing and others also looked at Qingxuan and Qinglian.

"Fellow Taoist Houtu invited us here to reminisce about old times." Qingxuan said calmly.

He was looking at Sanqing and Jie Yin Zhunti, and the matter this time was actually more serious than these two.

They are all disciples of Hongjun, who once preached to them, but they are also different.

The Tao of Sanqing is more in line with the Tao of Heaven. This is the path they originally chose. They are the most consistent with Hongjun's Tao, and they have always regarded themselves as Xuanmen orthodox.

Jieyin and Zhunti not only inherited Hongjun's Tao, but they also understood many of the demon ancestor Rahu's Tao in Mount Sumeru.

And they are indeed very good. On the basis of the two main roads, they have opened up eight hundred side doors, which has the tendency of becoming a school of its own.

It can be said that Sanqing followed the path guided by Hongjun, while Jie Yin and Zhunti took a different path on the road between immortals and demons.

From Qingxuan's point of view, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, but there are differences in the concepts of greatness between the two sides.

Although Jieyin and Zhunti have not yet established Buddhism, the basic avenue has been formed, and they have a relatively complete avenue system, which is different from the Taoist Immortal Way and has a unique construction of the avenue.

Among them, the two avenues have huge differences in their concepts about reincarnation.

The Immortal Path cherishes life, the Dao is in this world, the Buddha talks about reincarnation, and the Dao cultivates the next life.

This is the collision of two great ideas and the dispute between two orders of heaven and earth.

"So, what do you guys think? You might as well speak up and we can discuss it together." Hou Tu nodded and said calmly.

After hearing Hou Tu speak, Sanqing and Zhunti each spoke up and expressed their respective views on reincarnation.

As saints, they know the importance of reincarnation and understand that it complements the order of merit and karma in heaven.

But how to make up for it is a question.

The plan put forward by Jie Yin and Zhunti at this time was Qingxuan's prediction of the afterlife, which would create merit and karma and determine the depth of blessings in the next life.

Divide reincarnation into numbers and divide good and evil.

"The purpose of the existence of heavenly merits and karma is to guide living beings to obey the order of heaven and earth. By doing this, we can lead all living beings to do good and avoid evil. What do you fellow Taoists think?" Jie Yin asked.

Compared with Sanqing, he and Zhunti had indeed explored the issue of reincarnation for a long time, and had even established their own avenue system structure.

In contrast, Sanqing had not thought about reincarnation before, but could not come up with any specific plans.

They were also surprised. They never thought that Jie Yin and Zhunti would have a plan in advance.

As for Nuwa, she really had no idea at all and just watched from the side.

"The poor Taoist thinks that there is something wrong with this method. Blessings are determined by heaven. How can we make the decision? Living beings should live in the present and place their hopes in the present. How can they blindly place their hopes in the next life? Afterlife comes after life, fellow Taoist This move is suspected of bullying all sentient beings." Yuan Shi said.

"As far as Pindao knows, this is how your Western religion confuses all sentient beings and deceives them into taking their will, right?"

Yuan Shi's words were already a bit rude. He had indeed had opinions on the practices of Western religions for a long time.

He believes that order in the world is indispensable.

But when Western religions accept believers, it's like brainwashing.

"My fellow Taoist, what you said is wrong. My Western teachings are to save all sentient beings, save all living beings from suffering, and create a pure land of bliss. Why do I talk about confusion and deception? There is no turmoil in the ancient world. For our Western land, there has never been turmoil. , All living beings do not suffer, and the strong do not rely on their strength to bring disaster. The number of living beings who die in battles is much less than in the vast eastern land." Jie Yin retorted.

"Escape from suffering? The poor Taoist has never seen sentient beings escape from suffering. He does not talk about suffering. It is just because he pinned his hopes on the vague afterlife, numbed this life, and deceived himself and others. Now you two want to use the reincarnation of fellow Taoists to spread the lies. Turn it into reality? That’s inappropriate!”

"This is not selfish, our wish is to save all sentient beings."

"Sentient beings should not cross like this. The two paths have gone astray."

"All living beings have the right to fight for it. How can we just escape from this world? It's not advisable!" Tongtian also spoke at this time.

"..."

The four of them, Jie Yin Zhunti and Yuan Shi Tong Tian, ​​began to argue, each evolving their own way to discuss the Tao.

Taiqing rarely spoke, Nuwa was watching the excitement, Houtu and Qingxuan were also watching.
