Chapter 630 God of Wealth and Suppression
"Forget it, if I'm not mistaken, your power comes partly from the Jade Emperor's True Lord Jinque and the Qiankun Dao True Lord Taixu, and partly from the concepts of wealth and transactions. It seems that you should be one of the twenty-four righteous men in heaven. One of the gods, some of the twisted and weird powers should come from other beings.”
Chu Tai's voice came out slowly, filled with a touch of sarcasm.
"Therefore, your dojo seems fair and equitable, but in fact all interpretations of order are your rights. If you say fairness, it is fair, and if you say unfair, it is unfair. But the order loses its fairness, and there seems to be no problem. To humans, it is like going astray, leading uncontrollably to chaos and destruction. Your current fate is the result of being betrayed by your own path.”
"Betrayed by yourself? How do you know it wasn't me who betrayed him? No, no, no, I should say, it wasn't him who betrayed me?"
The iron cage kept twisting, and the chains were pulled one by one. A corpse with almost only bones left was pulled out from the depths of the cage and hung in front of all living beings.
"Look! He is shouting for his justice and showing his sacrifice, but is this a higher order? Is it a freer choice?"
Seeing this scene, Chu Tai somewhat understood the other party's thoughts and whispered: "Sacrifice is sacrifice. When an individual sacrifices for the order, we should say that he sacrificed himself and fulfilled the order, and should not call the sacrifice... Higher Order and Choice ”
"Yes! Sacrifice is sacrifice. When he thinks that his sacrifice is for the so-called higher order, is he moving himself, or is he morally kidnapping others?"
The cage was shaking, the chains were pulling, and seemingly just order was coming, but twisted power followed him like a shadow. At the same time, illusory shadows appeared in the void following his call.
"Sincerely accept my destiny, live in the Golden Que Realm, the Jade Emperor Taoist... Great benevolence and great kindness, the great sage and great mercy, the Immortal Master who suppresses demons and protects the righteous, the True Lord of the Jade Emperor Golden Que!"
The tall and majestic figure of the god appeared in the huge palace. He lowered his head and looked at Chu Tai and others. His pupils, glowing with deep golden light, exuded unparalleled pressure, blocking the operation of all magical powers.
"Sincerity of the Holy Spirit, living in the Wanxiang Palace, the Taoist Master of Qiankun... True Lord Taixu!"
In the nineteen-way chess game, an arm made of countless black and white lines and chess pieces appeared and fell down, driving the chains and sealing off the surrounding area.
"The ceremony of sincere surrender, ranking in the golden altar, managing financial resources..."
The phantoms of countless coins emerged, converging into an amber-colored illusory figure in mid-air. His hands were stretched out to the left and right, keeping them parallel, like a huge scale. On one side was a treasure basin full of wealth, and on the other was radiating There are all kinds of beautiful bamboo slips, and there is a huge three-eyed golden toad at its feet, which is constantly swallowing something. Just by being seen by it, you can feel that there seems to be something more or less in your body.
"The God of Wealth, one of the twenty-four righteous gods in heaven."
Chu Tai looked at this god and was surprised to find that the personality and power of this god of wealth were somewhat terrifying. Its symbolic concept should be based on yin and yang, matter and spirit.
Just by seeing it, you know that the corresponding wealth is the sum of spirit and material, the sum of yin and yang, the sum of virtuality and reality.
Under its principles, wealth is external [gain] and internal [virtue], which respectively symbolize the treasure basin and bamboo slips in his hands.
What needs to be explained here is that the external "gain" symbolizes all substantial material wealth, while the internal "virtue", in addition to moral cultivation and spiritual pursuits, one's own health, life span, etc. also belong to "virtue" scope.
Therefore, according to the principles of this God of Wealth, when the inside is greater than the outside, [virtue] will be transformed into matter and turned into substantial wealth for people to use.
And when the outside is greater than the inside, [obtain] will automatically act to be healthy and happy, and can also be used to resist disasters.
‘What is this, a great virtue? Or does it mean that great virtue will lead to rich things, poor virtue will only lead to thin things, bad virtue will also lead to lack of things, and no virtue will only lead to lack of things? But what's going on with the golden toad below? It keeps devouring wealth. Does it want to show that people who don't believe in it will lose their material and moral virtues? ’ Chu Tai couldn’t help but complain about the power of this righteous god, but the iron cage continued to shout.
"The ceremony of sincere surrender..."
Chaos descended, and everything around him began to lose order. Blood seeped into the chains, and countless strict rules and regulations emerged as shadows that kept falling. Just touching them gave him a breathless sense of oppression.
This is a desire for control that is hidden under order and penetrates deep into the blood, bone marrow, and soul. It is a power that reverses black and white, cannot distinguish between light and dark, and rots into the bones. It is also a power that cannot be resisted and cannot be resisted. The emotions of sadness, pain, loneliness, helplessness, and despair of rejection.
Now, these things were materialized under the influence of chaos, and then mixed, rotted, brewed, and fermented, forming a stench so thick that it looked like silt, eroding towards Chu Tai and his party.
"You are willing to..."
Looking at the spreading stench, Chu Tai knew that this was because the other party had abandoned the dojo and sacrificed this market that claimed to be fair and just, turning all the order accumulated inside into a power of decay, oppression and devouring.
But he remained unhurried and asked Taoist Zhijing and his party to stand where they were.
"Don't move. This guy's methods may seem terrifying, but in fact they are all about transaction. As long as you don't move, the transaction will not be established. No matter how powerful he is, it will be difficult for him to interfere with your essence."
Although they were very frightened, Taoist Zhijing and his party still chose to listen to Chu Tai's words, and their move indeed blocked the influence of the stench and was able to maintain the stability of their own state.
"If you don't move, don't participate, and don't act, you won't fall into the trap of trading. This is a good way to deal with it. But when there are earth-shaking changes in the outside world, how do you maintain the stability you want?"
The iron cage is twisting crazily. Now it can no longer be regarded as a cage or a thing, but a collection of countless twisted flesh and blood.
The cage continued to expand, covering Chu Tai and his party, and all kinds of ridicule sounded from all directions.
"In the face of the ever-changing market and the increasingly terrifying trading environment, not moving forward means retreating, retreating means falling behind, and falling behind will be beaten, which will become the basis for the progress of other departments. Now, you still become my Let’s build a deeper foundation!”
As he spoke, the flesh and blood rolled down, and the people who had previously lived in the market wailed, and were assimilated and devoured by it, turning into resources for the expansion of flesh and blood, in order to completely assimilate Chu Tai and his party.
"You shouldn't show off your past self."
Chu Tai sighed and looked at the skeleton still hanging in the center.
"Hahaha, he is just a liar who deceived himself. In the end, he wants to deceive others and follow him. What else can he do?"
As the sounds in the cage echoed, a faint sadness and anger emerged from the bones. The emotion did not seem to be strong, but in fact it was very strong, with a kind of defiance, a kind of anger, and a kind of resistance.
Feeling the emergence of this power, the cage seemed to realize that something was wrong, and roared: "You trash, you still want to help them? Go back!"
