Chapter 342 Six Paths
"Six Paths." The shadow of Sakyamuni gently uttered two words.

Xu Qing's heart was filled with shock.

Because the Rainbow Escape Technique he learned in Kuafu Cave was exactly what was left behind by the "Six Paths".

He looked at the other person deeply and asked, "Who is Liudao? Why is he an old friend of yours, Buddha?"

The shadow of Sakyamuni smiled and said, "The six paths are the six paths."

"You are not Sakyamuni at all, right?" Xu Qing suddenly said something irrelevant.

The shadow of Sakyamuni looked surprised, but soon calmed down. "I thought you were just average, but I didn't expect your perception to be so sharp. Yes, I'm not the real Sakyamuni, but here, I am..."

"Here? Are you referring to the Chunyang Realm, or the entire Taixu Universe?" Xu Qing asked further.

Shakyamuni said calmly: "It is the entire universe."

Xu Qing: "Are you the projection of Sakyamuni in the Taixu Universe?"

When he said this, his heart was even more turbulent.

Could it be that the Sakyamuni who was against the four major Taoist sects in the Taixu Universe was just a phantom in front of him?

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Sakyamuni does not exist in reality in the vast universe.

So how terrifying is the real Sakyamuni?
Xu Qing could no longer imagine it, this was beyond his current understanding.

Shakyamuni couldn't help but smile: "Your knowledge is still limited by the mundane world."

Xu Qing: "Please give me some advice, Buddha."

He is a very real person. He knows what he knows and admits what he doesn't know.

Always be humble when it is time to ask.

Shakyamuni Shadow: "You think that because you have a higher realm and stronger magic power, you should completely restrain those who are lower than you?"

"Isn't it?"

"That's right, but not entirely right." The shadow of Sakyamuni smiled.

Xu Qing pondered and said, "I think that even if a stronger person suffers a loss from a weaker person for the first time, as long as he thinks about it afterwards and considers it carefully, he will never make the same mistake the next time he meets someone."

Just like the struggle between two big countries, there will be local victories and defeats, but in the end, it all comes down to national strength.

Of course, the premise is that both countries are at the same stage of development.

One is thriving, the other is a dominant empire, naturally they are different.

Shakyamuni Shadow: "Your words do make sense. It's me who is narrow-minded."

Xu Qing: "How could the Buddha admit his mistake?"

The shadow of Sakyamuni said slowly: "Even if it is Sakyamuni's true form, he will make mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing couldn't help but bow.

At this moment, he truly realized the mind of Sakyamuni as a Taoist. What he recognized was not the other party's Tao, but the other party's attitude towards Tao.

The shadow of Sakyamuni said again: "Admitting a mistake does not mean that you will change. Haven't you heard that slandering Buddha is also a sin?"

Xu Qing: "If it were me, I would do the same."

The shadow of Sakyamuni smiled and said, "I have met many people in the Taixu Universe. Although you have average talent, you are indeed luckier than some Daluo and Taiyi."

Xu Qing: "I thought the Buddha would praise me for being different, but I didn't expect that he would just praise me for being lucky."

The shadow of Sakyamuni said calmly: "You will understand that good luck is better than any advantage."

Xu Qing: "When the Buddha said this, he probably wasn't just praising me."

Shakyamuni Shadow: "That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have come back. It just so happens that I have something that I need help from a lucky person."

"what's up?"

"Go somewhere and find something for me."

"Is this thing related to the Six Paths?" Xu Qing reacted immediately.

Shakyamuni Shadow: "It's called the Book of Life and Death."

Xu Qing: "Is there really a book of life and death in the world?"

"Yes, and it is in Liudao's hands." The shadow of Sakyamuni looked calm.

Xu Qing's expression became more alert: "How can the Buddha be sure that I can find it? Is it just because I'm lucky?"

Shakyamuni Shadow: "Don't ask so many questions. I just want to ask you whether you are going or not?"

"No." Xu Qing immediately shook his head.

The shadow of Sakyamuni smiled mysteriously: "You will go."

Xu Qing was about to say something else when he saw a gust of wind blowing up dust. The shadow of Sakyamuni turned into a lotus flower, which was floating in the wind and dust, and soon disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

He watched and shook his head.

After this incident, Xu Qing deeply realized that the shadow of Sakyamuni was definitely setting up a big scheme, and the entire Taixu universe was involved in it.

"Alai, what do you want to do?" Xu Qing was bold now, calling Buddha by his nickname in his heart!

Then he thought of the Book of Life and Death.

The Book of Life and Death records the life and death of all living beings in the world, like a trumpet of fate.

This alone is enough to illustrate the value of the Book of Life and Death.

"Six Paths, judging from the meaning of the name, is definitely related to reincarnation, and reincarnation and the Book of Life and Death are inseparable. The phantom of Sakyamuni came to me, could it be because I have a cause and effect with Six Paths? After all, I learned the Rainbow Transformation from Six Paths. And the phantom of Sakyamuni was injured by Six Paths, could it be that he was injured in the attempt to snatch the Book of Life and Death? What is the origin of this Six Path that could actually injure the phantom of Sakyamuni?"

Xu Qing knew very well that even if it was just a projection, judging from the characteristics of the Sakyamuni phantom, it was definitely much stronger than ordinary Daluo and Taiyi, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a top-level Daluo and Taiyi.

To hurt such a being, it is hard to imagine what kind of power the other party possesses, or what treasure he has.

Xu Qing couldn't help feeling a little headache.

Since the shadow of Sakyamuni said that he would go to look for him, it was obvious that something would happen next.

Xu Qing looked at the bronze mirror and saw that the calamity of the Jiazi year of the Immortal Dynasty still existed.

It seems that this disaster can never be avoided.

Today, there are still thirty years before the Jiazi catastrophe of the Immortal Dynasty, which is neither long nor short.

Xu Qing turned into rainbow light and returned to the Dayu Dynasty. Having become a celestial being, his demonic illusion is even more powerful. For the Immortal Dynasty, outstanding talents will be of greater use.

The biggest function of the Demonic Illusion is that it allows people to experience reincarnation from life to life in a short period of time.

The higher Xu Qing's cultivation level, the closer these reincarnation experiences are to reality.

He even thought of a cave that was a replica of the image captured by the bronze mirror.

If the bronze mirror can copy more caves, combined with the power of the Demonic Illusion, he may be able to reconstruct a Taixu Universe.

What if a book of life and death is placed inside the bronze mirror?

An idea popped into Xu Qing's mind.

If he used the bronze mirror as a foundation, it seemed possible for him to recreate a Taixu universe.

What a crazy and terrible idea.

Because Xu Qing realized that the Taixu universe might also have been created in this way.

This kind of thing is horrifying just thinking about it.

On the other hand, the style of the Sakyamuni phantom reminded Xu Qing of the Buddha Wu Tian in the movies and TV shows of his previous life.

No matter how you look at it, the behavior of this phantom of Sakyamuni exudes an inexplicable sense of weirdness.

Fortunately, the other party never did anything cruel to Xu Qing.

But it may not be because of good intentions, perhaps the other party is concerned about something.

What is it about him that makes the other party hesitate?
Bronze mirror?
This was the only place Xu Qing could think of.

What will happen next that will make Xu Qing look for the so-called Book of Life and Death, Xu Qing currently has no idea, he can only take it one step at a time.

...

...

Dayu Immortal Dynasty, the capital, Xu Mansion.

Feng Wu is knitting a beautiful women's vestment.

This is prepared for Xu Qingzhu in Tianhe Dao Sect.

Xu Qing would occasionally ask someone to ask Grandmaster Musang to deliver letters to Feng Wu and Xu Qingzhu.

This woman is strange. After finding her own son, she is not so concerned about him anymore. Instead, she is very caring towards a concubine's daughter.

But she and Xu Qingzhu did get along well.

Is this the legendary mother-daughter bond?
Seeing Feng Wu's serious look, Xu Qing couldn't help but feel jealous, "You knit so well, but people may not care. Besides, they must want to see the gift from their biological mother the most." Feng Wu smiled sweetly, "Why are you and your daughter jealous?"

She kept shaking her head.

After meeting Xu Xuanhu, Feng Wu experienced the happiest time of her life and she no longer had any worries.

Because of her husband's status, she could do whatever she wanted in the Dayu Dynasty.

Anyway, she has her husband to protect her for the rest of her life.

As a result, her practice also fell behind.

Feng Wu does not regret it.

Only after becoming a mother did she truly realize that the greatest success a woman can achieve in her life is to find a loving man to whom she can devote her life.

What an amazing shift in thinking.

Before she met Xu Qing, as a young girl, she would have preferred to roam the world on her own, and to help those who were in trouble when she saw them.

Now, she no longer had the state of mind she had as a girl.

But when I think about the thoughts I had when I was a girl, I still laugh.

It's not self-mockery, but a kind of remembrance.

Although one’s appearance never ages, youth is always youth and is irreplaceable.

Perhaps, this psychological projection finally fell on Xu Qingzhu.

But in terms of Xu Qingzhu's age, by ordinary people's standards, he is not young!

But Xu Qing doesn't feel he is old.

As long as a man is still a middle school student, he is a boy.

Xu Qing grabbed his wife's hand and felt at ease.

No matter how dreamy his life is, he knows that there are people in this world who truly love him.

Uncle, aunt and Feng Wu, they represent Xu Qing's family affection and love respectively.

This is not just a bond, but also a comfort for Xu Qing to resist emptiness.

In fact, he is just an ordinary person, and it is only due to fate that he has achieved his current success.

Just because he is very capable of doing things doesn't mean Xu Qing doesn't have weaknesses inside.

From the historical perspective of the Dayu Dynasty, Xu Qing is definitely a great man, but that does not mean he is a perfect man, or even a good man.

A truly perfect person will only appear between the lines of a diary.

Xu Qing took Feng Wu out shopping.

In fact, when Feng Wu was alone, he seldom went out.

It's troublesome to be recognized, and there's no point in disguising yourself.

But the meaning of Xu Qing taking her out for a stroll was different.

After all, the time Xu Qing and Feng Wu spent together in these years was not as much as before Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne.

Decades passed, and the two Empress Dowagers had grown old.

Even with the help of elixirs, her appearance remained in her early thirties, but wrinkles had begun to appear at the corners of her eyes.

And Xu Qing did not do anything inappropriate towards the two empresses dowagers.

Even though there are many rumors circulating among the people.

But in fact, Xu Liushou neither slept in the dragon bed at night nor controlled the government.

Even Xu Qing rarely made decisions.

When the young emperor first took power, he was nervous and subconsciously cultivated his own confidants in an attempt to seize power.

But in the end he found out that Master Xu did nothing.

Then he also realized that there was nothing he could do.

The development of the Xian Dynasty has long been on the right track.

As an emperor, his symbolic significance is greater than his practical significance.

Because there was no need for Xu Qing to say anything, those ministers and powerful families would spontaneously choose the route set by Xu Qing.

The little emperor was unable to challenge or shake the path set by Xu Qing.

He even realized that even his grandfather, Emperor Wanshou, who was known to be one of the most cunning and scheming emperors in history, could not shake these things.

On the day of the little emperor's wedding, the emperor emeritus sent him a calligraphy as a gift.

"The best is like water."

What is water?
It’s compliance.

The little emperor didn't understand at first, but later he gradually understood.

But he was very depressed.

At one point, he was even unwilling to sleep with the queen.

why?

Because the queen was arranged by his biological mother.

He had had enough of this arrangement.

Moreover, he did not want his children to be born as emperors without being able to control their own destiny.

He thought that he shouldn't let his child come into the world to suffer like this.

He even blamed his father a little. He had the chance at the beginning, but he couldn't defeat the tutor.

But deep down in his heart, he had an unspeakable thought: why couldn't the Grand Tutor be his father?

How great would it be if the tutor was his father?
Xu Qing didn't care at all about the little emperor's thoughts.

At this point, the emperor's thoughts no longer mattered.

The emperor’s biggest role at present is to endorse new laws and policies and serve as a totem.

The Xu family is different from ordinary aristocratic families.

As long as Xu Qing is here, the Xu family is here, and no status is needed.

Without Xu Qing, any title is useless.

He alone can last forever.

Like a banyan tree, with luxuriant branches and leaves, it stands alone in a forest.

After taking Feng Wu for a tour around the capital, Feng Wu noticed something.

In a teahouse, the couple had a private room to drink tea. She said, "Now the capital is the richest in the world, why are there still so many beggars?"

Xu Qing: "Back home, these beggars still need to work on the land to get enough food, but in the capital, they just need to be pitiful. And there are organizations behind these beggars."

Feng Wu sighed: "They all have hands and feet..."

Xu Qing: "This kind of thing is hard to manage, and we can't manage it. In fact, outside the capital, there are still many people who don't have enough food to eat."

"How could that be?" Feng Wu was very surprised. Due to the promotion of high-yield crops and the increasing number of practitioners in the Dayu Immortal Dynasty, even if some places encountered severe drought, the government could invite magicians to hold an altar to pray for rain.

Not to mention that with the help of immortal cultivators, the Dayu Dynasty had a developed river system.

The effects of Taoism and mechanical devices can indeed change the world.

The present Dayu Dynasty truly has the atmosphere of a paradise on earth.

Xu Qing said meaningfully: "Because people who don't have enough food are easier to order around."

After Xu Qing and Feng Wu finished their tour, they personally set the examination questions for this subject.

Now the content of the imperial examination in the Great Yu Dynasty is no longer limited to the classics, but focuses on practical work. In fact, for a long time, the imperial examination was not based on eight-part essays, but on policy essays.

The reason why eight-legged essay could enter the historical stage is mainly because it has a very intuitive standard, as well as many other objective factors.

But after Xu Qing came to power, the content of the imperial examination gradually began to change.

The topics of this examination are very colloquial.

"Please prove that the imperial court is an institution used by the aristocratic families to oppress the lower classes, and a weapon that forces all the lower classes to submit to the powerful and wealthy."

When this question was asked, it caused a sensation in the examination hall.

But soon one of the candidates thought of a line in the classics that had been misinterpreted by many great scholars: "The people can be made to follow it, but they cannot be made to know it."
