Chapter 735: The gods argue, and the mortals suffer

The troops led by the Marquis of Qi climbed to the halfway point of the mountain despite the earth-shaking conditions. Only then did the carriages of various princes finally arrive and barely made it to the foot of Mount Tai.

Looking up at the flag with the seal character "Qi" written on it halfway up the mountain, the princes were so anxious that they jumped off their chariots and called on their men to climb the mountain quickly to catch up.

"We must not let Qi Hou reach the summit first and enjoy the blessings of the gods alone!"

"I regret it now. Qi State used its rich resources to empty its treasury to buy first-hand intelligence. I just hesitated for a moment and missed such a great opportunity!"

"The gods in heaven are watching us. They must have set this up so that we can compete for the position of the chosen one of heaven and choose the future ruler of the world. We never expected that Lord Qi would get there first."

"All of you, get out of the way! I am the Emperor of Zhou! You are a bunch of traitors. I am the true Son of Destiny!"

"Hmph, may I ask King Zhou, how much do the Nine Cauldrons weigh?"

"Zhou lost his deer, and all the heroes chased it. Whoever runs faster will be the next emperor!"

……

There was chaos at the foot of the mountain. Under the watchful eyes of the gods, the princes did not dare to do anything outrageous, but they did not give the Zhou emperor any face. They led their troops to push and shove each other, fighting for the main road up the mountain.

The scene seemed like a mountain climbing competition among mortals watched by the gods, and the gods and Buddhas would reward the person who reached the summit first with the whole world.

The news spread by Wen Rui never mentioned that the princes who first reached the summit of Mount Tai would be rewarded, but the princes who were blinded by power could not resist imagining it.

The gods wouldn't gather on the top of Mount Tai to show their power for no reason, right?

The recent severe drought is one of the signs that the dynasty is about to end. The decline of the Zhou royal family and the lack of justice of the emperor are also obvious to all...

This isn't even a hint from God; it's a naked revelation!
The truth of the matter was deliberately concealed by the Chamber of Commerce, but the Chamber of Commerce cannot be blamed, because it is in line with the basic rules of prophecy that the secret cannot be revealed. If it is stated too clearly, it would not seem like a prophecy. It is this kind of half-hidden thing that requires one to understand it by oneself that is appropriate.

At the beginning, King Wen of Zhou carried Jiang Ziya on his back for 808 steps. Jiang Ziya kept it a secret for a long time and made King Wen breathless before telling him that carrying him for 800 steps meant that King Wen's descendants would rule the world for 800 years.

This story was well known to the eight hundred princes of the Zhou Dynasty. When they talked about it, they all lamented that King Wen did not know how to grasp the secrets of heaven. If he had carried the king back to Xiqi for 10,000 or 20,000 steps, wouldn't the world be welded to the buttocks of his descendants?
At this moment, just like at that moment, maybe it was a new trick played by the gods, such as climbing one step of Mount Tai and letting descendants rule the country for a year...

No one dared to relax at all, and everyone tried their best to rush forward. No one wanted their descendants to perish because they climbed a few fewer steps.

The gods and Buddhas above the clouds in the sky were all stunned. They really couldn't understand what kind of sacrificial activities the mortals below were performing.

In the past, the Zhou emperor also held sacrifices on Mount Tai, but it was not as chaotic as it is now.

Fortunately, gods and Buddhas all have the art of fortune-telling, and it is not difficult to deduce the cause and effect of mortals. After everyone uses their magical powers, they can roughly understand the outline of the matter.

"It's Wen Rui's doing again. What on earth does he want to do?"

The ancient Buddha Ran Deng said angrily: "He tricked the princes of the Great Zhou here, killed them with the help of the demon mosquito and us, and ended the fate of the Great Zhou in disguise. Isn't he afraid of being punished by heaven?"

The Tathagata Buddha remained silent, but Maitreya Buddha laughed and said, "In my opinion, he is not afraid. The news he sent people to spread only said that the gods and Buddhas gathered at the top of Mount Tai, but none of them were rumors. Even if he didn't spread it, there were no clouds in the sky, and we couldn't hide our saintly appearance. The mortals below would see it and spread it." "He just played with the time difference to let these princes know in advance. The biggest evil he did was to cheat the princes of a large sum of money."

"But he is the patron saint of merchants. Merchants make a living by reselling goods, and it is their nature to pursue profit, so it cannot be considered a serious crime."

At this point, Maitreya Buddha shook his head helplessly: "It is those foolish people who are obsessed with profit and desire, and who are seeking their own death. It is their own fault."

"He clearly ruined the fate of the human dynasty, but he doesn't have to take any responsibility at all?"

"Didn't Lady Nuwa send monsters to wreak havoc on the Shang Dynasty and ruin the fate of the human dynasty? Why should she be held responsible? She is just following the same pattern. This is just like every bite and every drink. Everything is destined. Cause and effect will always come true."

Maitreya Buddha smiled and said, "If King Zhou had kept himself clean, kept virtuous ministers close and kept away from treacherous officials, the court would have had the Wen father and son, the Huang father and son, and countless loyal ministers and generals. How could the Shang Dynasty have declined? These kings and venerables made their own choices, so who can be blamed?"

The ancient Buddha Ran Deng sighed and said, "What the Future Buddha said makes sense. I never thought that he would really take advantage of the loophole in the way of heaven."

The gods on the clouds in the heavens were also whispering. Taibai Jinxing came up to Li Jing and whispered, "Marshal Li, are we just going to watch the chaos below and not do anything about it?"

Li Jing was also in a dilemma. He said, "A great war is imminent. We must not be distracted. If the demon mosquitoes happen to break the seal and launch a sneak attack when we are driving away the human race below, who will be responsible for the defeat? You?"

"Ah this..."

Taibai Jinxing's face turned dark. He didn't want to take such a big blame for no reason.

"This Marshal is only responsible for arranging the troops and commanding the gods to kill the demon mosquitoes. The rest is not my responsibility."

Li Jing spoke in an official tone in a serious manner: "As the Imperial Envoy of the Celestial Patrol, Li Xingjun has the responsibility to investigate and investigate. Why don't you write a memorial to the Jade Emperor immediately and ask His Majesty to make a decision."

Taibai Jinxing also looked embarrassed. He was well versed in the ways of being an official and knew that if he reported this matter, no matter what instructions the Jade Emperor gave, he would not end up well in the future.

Reporting this troublesome matter that is difficult to handle satisfactorily to the Jade Emperor for a decision, isn't it equivalent to putting the blame on the leader to bear?

If you send people to drive away the mortal princes, you will run the risk of being attacked by the magic mosquitoes. Once the war is going unfavorably, the biggest responsibility is to issue the order to drive away the people, thereby disrupting the army.

The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and eight hundred princes died here, and watched helplessly as the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty came to an end. Even if the invasion of the evil mosquitoes could be resisted, the human world would be in turmoil for many years, and all the karmic retribution in the war would be directed to the gods who sat back and watched.

A stubborn mind becomes a blockage in both ends!

Whoever takes the lead first will be unlucky, and whoever makes the decision will take the blame!

"Marshal Li, you are the supreme commander of this war. My current military position is just a mere military doctor. How dare I take your place?"

Taibai Jinxing smiled wryly and said, "Besides, I just saw you talking to the Jade Emperor using the Ruyi Jade Plate. It was just a matter of dialing a number and saying a few words. I was delayed too long in writing and delivering the memorial, and there was no time to save people. Please ask the Marshal to call and report to His Majesty."
