Chapter 767: Rumors and gossips disturb the immortal’s heart

Chapter 767: Rumors and gossips disturb the immortal’s heart

Jingwei nodded in agreement. Her long hair, interwoven with red, white and black, fluttered gently like a gorgeous ribbon. Her white jade lips pursed slightly, and her clear eyes were full of curiosity. She tilted her head and said, “But I am more curious about what kind of man would make my sister willing to commit herself to him.”

When Xuan Nu heard this, Ying Zheng’s figure flashed through her mind. She felt a little unhappy when she thought about Yao Ji marrying Ying Zheng. But she thought again, if it was that emperor, it wouldn’t be wrong for Yao Ji to marry him.

The hearty laughter of the Queen Mother of the West pierced the sky like a silver bell. Her crescent-shaped eyebrows raised and she smiled, “Why think so much? Just ask and you’ll know. Let’s set off now, Shenzhou.”

Her face was full of longing. “I haven’t been to Shenzhou for a long time. Now that the weather is so good, I don’t know what it looks like. I must go for a good look.”

Jingwei on the side nodded repeatedly, looking forward to it. Xuannu also looked towards the east, wondering what the world looked like today.
Three figures turned into streams of light, galloping eastward from Yaochi. After entering Longxi County and seeing the prosperous scene and the bustling crowd, they descended from the clouds, hid their fairy-like appearance, and strolled through the streets like ordinary travelers.

Just strolling along the way, seeing the world today with your own eyes, and quickly learning new knowledge.

This is what they do every time they wake up, to understand the world, to understand human beings, and to understand the latest human society.

There are only a few gods in this world. Gods can feel lonely and isolated, even if they are born and raised by nature and are naturally sacred.

Although they possess strength and abilities far beyond those of humans, the way they look at humans is not the same as how humans look at ants.

Because humans have the same intelligence and emotions as them.

There is a gap in strength, but not in wisdom.

God looks upon human beings more like human beings look upon a group of smaller beings.

These little people who possess the same wisdom and emotions, their society is constantly progressing, performing joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, as well as those touching stories.

These new creatures that have emerged between heaven and earth and possess the same intelligence and emotions as them have made the world full of color. They cannot help but pay attention to these people, but they also cannot stay out of it completely.

There are too few gods, and all gods are different. God is too lonely.

During the endless years, they could only spend most of the time sleeping. Only after the appearance of humans did they find the world interesting.

When they participated in human society, as time went by, God’s three views and cognition were also influenced and changed by humans. Although there are still some differences, they are basically the same.

Just like Yao Ji and Jing Wei, they were human beings first and then became gods. After they became gods, they gathered together with the gods.

There are differences between innate gods and acquired gods except in terms of strength and ability, but there is no other difference.

The innate gods only have likes and dislikes, and they have no good or evil. It is because of the existence of human society that the innate gods have the sense of good and evil, and the cognition of intelligent creatures.

Man, assimilated God!

To this day, those who are unwilling to be like humans have either died or fallen into a long sleep, and most of the gods active on earth are lawful and just. Even if they are not so just, they are still lawful.

In this world, order will eventually triumph over disorder.

Human society is developing, gods will never age, and their three views are also constantly changing. But no matter how they change, the three views established at the beginning still account for the most important proportion, just like adolescence is the most important time in a person’s life.

The gods that are still active at present are relatively simple and honest. There is no way to change this because people are becoming more and more cunning.

The more they like human gods, the more they like it to be more lively, peaceful and tranquil.

This is also the reason why Ying Zheng dared to take a gamble. He saw these changes of God from the records, so he dared to take the risk.

Because he wanted to get God.

When God has human concepts, He is no longer scary.

Because they can already be understood, that means we can take action!
Now these three gods were really shocked. The world was peaceful now. It was a world of difference compared to more than 200 years ago. It was really many times better and more prosperous. Even the once remote Xichui area was now extremely prosperous, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

People’s faces were filled with hopeful smiles, children were laughing and playing on the streets, and old people were sitting under the eaves leisurely basking in the sun. It was a peaceful and tranquil scene.

The people are simple and honest, warm and hospitable, and the government is clean and honest, and does its job conscientiously.

They like this kind of world.

Fortunately, they came from west to east. If they were in the east, the current administration would be worse than here.

The three gods couldn’t help but admire that the current emperor indeed governed the world in a prosperous and peaceful manner, which was truly amazing.

Since ancient times, it has been easy to conquer the world but difficult to rule it. It is too difficult to unify the chaotic world and bring so many different people together.

Among these three gods, two have great magical powers, but they also know very well that ruling cannot be achieved through pure violence.

Especially when it comes to ensuring that the people can live well and lead a happy life, that is something that cannot be solved by pure violence.

Even if they have boundless divine power, they can easily destroy most lives, but if they want more people to live better, they have no choice.

Violence can solve many problems, but pure violence will cause more problems while solving them.

It is also for this reason that they admire the current emperor even more. Making ten or a hundred people live a good life is not an order of magnitude more difficult than making tens of millions of people live a good life.

Although it is impossible to make everyone perfect, at least at present, it is visible to the naked eye that the vast majority of people can live well, and their lives will get better and better.

Compared with more than two hundred years ago, when most people were living in dire straits, or even compared with the situation thousands of years ago, this is a world of difference.

They did not head directly to the Divine Capital, although they wanted very much to see the prosperity of the Divine Capital directly, but they still headed southeast from Longxi County to Wushan in Ba County. For now, they still had to go to “raise an army to hold the culprit accountable” first!
As they slowly headed towards Wushan, they learned more and more about Daqin and what had happened in the past few decades.

To be frank, the world that was once in chaos has been transformed into a peaceful world today, all thanks to the current emperor. It can be said that both civil and military achievements are unprecedented and unprecedented. The more they understand, the more they admire him.

They have come all the way from the ancient times, and have watched the human race grow from a nation of raw meat and blood to a nation of great power. In the meantime, they have seen countless true heroes, wise monarchs, and witnessed countless touching stories.

Originally, humans were ignorant and did not know good or evil. They only wanted to survive. At that time, they were just like wild beasts.

It took thousands of years, generation after generation of saintly kings and sages, through untold hardships, to lead the human race to gradually become the masters of the world. Even the gods and demons had to gradually withdraw.

But even after so many years, I have never seen a monarch like the current emperor, who changed everything in just a few decades. He did not conquer with pure violence, but used both kindness and power, showed benevolence to the world, won the hearts of the people, and created an unprecedented great cause.

It has been many years since I have seen such a monarch. That is, the holy emperors in ancient times had such virtuous characters, but the difficulty of governing the world at that time was different from that of now.

People’s hearts were simple and honest at that time, but today the world has been in chaos for too long.

Moreover, at that time, even the Holy Emperor only treated his own people as human beings, and many of his methods were extremely bloody.

The only thing that was better than now was that people back then were not as cunning as they are now, and their bottom line was not as low.

But it was far less prosperous and lively than it is now. There was a huge difference. How many people were there in the world at that time? How far had the progress of civilization been? It was naturally far from being comparable to today.

The more the three gods understood, the more they felt moved and the more they admired.

Especially the Queen Mother of the West, she has always liked the hustle and bustle, especially people. Although she has always been arrogant, she also admires and appreciates heroes.

Admire those who can do things that ordinary people cannot do, and those who can create masterpieces that will last forever.

Originally, after they understood the meaning of the emperor, they thought that the title of emperor that the emperor had just taken was too arrogant.

But what they saw later made them feel that it was not an exaggeration. The achievements of this monarch were truly worthy of this supreme and most honorable title.

However, the three of them were somewhat dissatisfied, especially Xuannv. They felt that there had been too many changes in terms of faith!
At this point, how could they not know that the current Shinto system of belief was purely fabricated by the emperor! They were not fools, they were the parties involved, how could they not know whether it was true or not?

I know you people are good at having fun. The original title of Son of Heaven was already excessive enough, but now it includes all gods and demons. No one can stay out of it.

But I have to admit that this system is really perfect, it guides people to be good, and it also raises the status of both of them to a very high level.

The two of them were now both satisfied and helpless, but they couldn’t say anything.

Especially since they also knew the rumors that people in the streets talked about after dinner, the two of them were at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and felt a little embarrassed.

The Queen Mother of the West was fine. She felt that it was good that her position was elevated so high, and the scandal did not have much impact. After all, she was the incarnation of Heaven, so it did not matter. It was not a loss.

Xuannu was really a little embarrassed. She was a good goddess who had always kept herself chaste, but now she had given herself to Emperor Qinghua!
What is the Great Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Extreme Spiritual Beginning? Isn’t that the position of God that you, the Son of Heaven, have set for yourself?
It’s fine to just appoint a deity, but why do you insist on taking advantage of others for no reason?
Xuannv saw “The Love Story of the Three Realms of Fuxi, the Holy Emperor” and “The Record of the Heavenly Realm of Qinghua Emperor” written by an anonymous author in the library. They were all about the things that Qinghua Emperor and Jiutian Xuannv had to say.

There are so many stories about love growing over time, taking care of the people together, a hero saving a beauty, destined love, dancing under the moon, love sealed by the stars, etc.

And some of the stories are really ambiguous and explicit.

Xuannu was embarrassed and angry on the spot, and the tips of her ears turned red instantly, as if they were dyed by the sunset.

On the contrary, the Queen Mother of the West and Jingwei were watching with great interest, and the Queen Mother of the West even had her eyebrows curved. There is no way, the anonymous author’s writing is too good, it is really elegant but not vulgar, pure and beautiful but not obscene.

Xuannv was so angry that she quickly pulled the two people away who were reluctant to leave.

Jingwei pouted her pure white lips, very dissatisfied, and complained: “Sister Xuannv, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I haven’t even finished reading it yet.”

The Queen Mother of the West also chimed in: “That’s right, today people’s culture is becoming more and more brilliant, words are becoming more beautiful, words are becoming more and more meaningful, and the articles they write are becoming more and more beautiful. The charm of words is really endless, it’s hard for even the gods to let go.”

“I heard that this new writing system was also created under the leadership of the First Emperor. It is indeed more beautiful and practical. This emperor’s civil and military achievements are truly extraordinary. I wonder how he looks like? How could there be such a person in the world?”

Xuan Nu frowned at Yun Dai and waved her hand in dissatisfaction, and spat softly: “Bah! He is just a lustful person! He ruins her reputation!”

Queen Mother Xi raised her eyebrows and said jokingly, “How can this be blamed on the current ruler? I should blame him. He changed my title and gave me another husband.”

“These rumors of yours are nothing but the imagination and fabrication of some literati. You don’t have to take them seriously, sister. When you wake up from your sleep, they will all be a thing of the past.”

When Xuan Nu heard this, she immediately teased, “Oh – is that so, sister? I don’t know who spread this rumor, and I don’t know how many times it has been slept and woken up. It has been more than 700 years, and it is still being sung.”

For a moment, Xuannv was quite gloating, and even Jingwei covered her lips and laughed.

When Queen Mother of the West heard this, she blushed with anger.

Break the defense.

She said anxiously, “Ji Man, you little brat! You are so shameless! I respect him as the Son of Heaven and treat him with courtesy, but he is greedy for pleasure and ignores state affairs. He even dared to ask for my love. After I sent him away, he even spread rumors all over the world to ruin my reputation!”

“He wanted to use my reputation to consolidate his power, but he actually dared to destroy my reputation. If he is not the emperor, I will kill him!”

Seeing that the Queen Mother of the West was really anxious, Xuan Nu hurriedly advised: “Sister Wan Yan, it’s my fault for bringing up this matter again. Mortals often bring us along to flatter themselves for the sake of their own reputation. Why should we bother with them?”

Jingwei on the side nodded repeatedly in agreement, her eyes wide open, “That’s right, the current emperor is also a liar. How could I have ever told him a dream? I don’t even know about this. He used my name and the emperor’s father’s name to deceive people. What a liar!”

Xuan Nu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and rubbed Jing Wei’s little head, “Silly child, this has turned out to be a blessing in disguise for you. From now on, you will be respected by the people of the world, and you will have a temple to worship you. You will also be worshipped by the wishes of mortals, which will be of great benefit to you.”
