Chapter 799 Reconstructing the Dream Tomb
Only this step was achieved, and the current king of Dayu and Yuan Qing were still trembling with fear. In one's life, there are always many desires and evil thoughts that cannot be restrained or contained. One can only ensure that one's behavior does not follow one's will and does not make wrong moves, but the thoughts are fleeting, how can one control them?
Every time they had a bad idea, they always felt that in the next second, the evil thought would become real, floating in the eyes of the people, and be seen at a glance. Moreover, the mysterious master could see through everything inside and out. They felt a sense of shame and guilt.
After a few days of this, the King of Dayu, Yuan Qingzhi, was exhausted and terrified all day, so he put on casual clothes, sneaked out of the palace, and came to a temple in Dayu City.
This temple was built a hundred years ago, and people come and go, but it still looks as new as it did when it was new. It houses tablets for Dayu's merits. After death, people who have made great contributions to Dayu will have their tablets erected and placed in this temple, where they will be worshipped by thousands of people in the future.
Wang Ruyi was originally very opposed to building a temple. She felt that after death, people would be empty-handed, and it would be greedy to build a temple to receive worship after death. But as time passed and she became more knowledgeable, Wang Ruyi could not help but despise her former self, thinking that she was short-sighted, stubborn, and outspoken.
Some people's achievements will last forever. If we don't build a temple to commemorate them, future generations will benefit from their achievements but will have no way to repay them. Wouldn't that make us seem very overbearing?
So in the later period, Wang Ruyi relaxed the policy on building temples, but every time a temple was built, she would strictly review it. Only those who had made real contributions would be qualified to enjoy the incense for eternity.
But she herself refused to enter the temple. In the last few years before Wang Ruyi's death, she was still full of energy, just like a young girl. At that time, all the ministers jointly wrote a letter to ask Wang Ruyi to enter the temple first. But Wang Ruyi refused.
At that time, Wang Ruyi said: "This Dayu is my temple." After this statement, all the ministers were convinced. From then on, there was an unwritten rule in Dayu that only those who had meritorious service and virtue could be enshrined in the temple after death.
Those who had no merit or virtue, in addition to not being allowed to enter the temple after death, also had to have a "guilt tablet" erected to distinguish them from the one and only king. Even the generals and officials who entered the court as prime ministers and officials would be convicted if they did not enter the temple.
It is a crime for an official to fail to achieve any results.
When the current monarch was young, he vowed not to be a "king without merit" and to have his spirit tablet placed in this temple after his death. At this moment, kneeling down to pay homage to the meritorious people of all generations, his mind finally relaxed a little.
The master and the disciple knelt and bowed, suddenly feeling very wronged, but they did not dare to feel wronged, and felt that they should not feel wronged, because those evil thoughts and distracting thoughts should not arise. They had many distracting and evil thoughts, and they could only blame their own impure minds. How could they blame others? They really did not know what to do.
Only now do I realize how hard it is to find a pure heart.
The two of them offered sacrifices to the temple and burned incense. It was late at night when they returned to the palace. Along the way, the moon was bright in the sky and the moonlight was all over the ground. As they walked on the road, they kept thinking about the story of their grandmother. The reason why Dayu could be what it is today can be traced back to the relationship between their grandmother and grandfather. But a hundred years have passed, and there is no way to verify what kind of person their grandmother and grandfather were.
In the historical records of Dayu, the grandmother was resolute and ruthless, otherwise she would never have created such a Dayu. However, rumors passed down by word of mouth among the people also say that she was gentle, easy-going and generous.
As for the master's grandfather, the legends were even more mysterious, with all kinds of stories. The two of them thought that the master's grandmother must have unique abilities. When they saw the master's grandfather, they were scared to death and couldn't sleep well for several days. However, the master's grandmother had a bond with her, and even now, the story of the two has been passed down among the people.
That night, the two fell into a deep sleep and had a dream. They dreamed of their master's grandmother. In the dream, the master's grandmother was more vivid than the portrait, and she was indeed as beautiful as a flower and jade as the folk rumors said.
My grandmother asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you scared silly?" The current emperor is named Zhao Hongtian. He is already my grandmother's disciple's grandson and has never seen my grandmother in person.
The strange thing is that when he saw Li Changxiao, he was frightened out of his wits, but when he saw Wang Ruyi, he was very calm and peaceful. Zhao Hongtian said truthfully: "I was scared silly." In the dream, Wang Ruyi smiled with her hands on her hips, and her smile was bright and lovely.
If someone saw this, it would be very strange. Zhao Hongtian was already eighty years old, with white hair. Wang Ruyi, on the other hand, was bright and charming, in her prime. Zhao Hongtian was respectful and did not dare to act rashly. Wang Ruyi, on the other hand, was graceful and behaved casually.
Wang Ruyi patted Zhao Hongtian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, your grandmaster is very easy-going and will not blame you for a little thought."
Zhao Hongtian suddenly woke up and looked around, only to find that the dream was gone. But the fear in his heart disappeared, and he became more open-minded than before.
As for the dream last night, it is hard to say whether it was the result of what I thought about during the day, or whether it was the appearance of the grandmother to support her disciples.
……
Li Changxiao really didn't expect that his gentle tapping would make the current king and the future king lose their appetite and sleep. At this moment, he had already left Dayu City.
The scenery of Dayu is not only in Dayu City. Li Changxiao has seen what he wants to see in his heart. He suddenly has an idea to do something.
This country's inheritance of lineage through teachers is not a wise strategy at all. After all, everyone has selfish desires. This is the biggest selfish desire in Wang Ruyi's life.
The hidden danger is too great. What Li Changxiao has to do now is to completely eliminate this hidden danger for Dayu and Wang Ruyi.
He sat alone on the top of a high mountain, quietly waiting for the sun to set, the night to fall, and the people to fall asleep.
He flipped his palm. The dream mausoleum set up by the God of Dream Dao was completely exposed to his vision. He was now very advanced in Taoism, and the mausoleum of the God of Dream Dao was no longer complicated in his eyes.
He used dream magic to rebuild the tomb.
That night, no one knew that in the dream, a shocking change quietly occurred.
It is easy to eliminate the hidden dangers. All you need is an official in a place or a ruler in a country to dream what the people dream.
If you sow evil seeds, you will reap nightmares.
