"Romance of the Gods": What are the mandates that can be changed?

author:Chivalry said

There are many places in "The Romance of the Gods" that are full of fatalistic thoughts, and many things pay attention to the destiny of heaven, even if the great god meets the destiny of heaven, he can't do anything. For example, Nuwa, who was obviously very angry because of the fact that the king of Zhou inscribed a poem in the Nuwa Palace, and obviously drove the clouds to Chaoge and wanted to go to the king to settle accounts and give him justice, but above the song was actually blocked by two red lights, Nuwa pinched her fingers and counted, Chengtang Jiangshan still has more than 20 years of luck, even if she is an ancient god, she does not dare to change this fate casually, so she can only send three demons to harm Chengtang Jiangshan, so that the king of Zhou can become the faint monarch referred to by Wanfu, so as not to get a good name even if the king is the king of the dead country in the future. An identity like Nuwa doesn't dare to change the mandate of heaven, so why does Xia Kejun give the article such a name today, saying that what mandates of heaven can be changed?

"Romance of the Gods": What are the mandates that can be changed?

That's precisely because after reading the original book, Xia Kejun found that there are actually many people in it whose fate can be changed, and this can be concluded from the ban given by the Tongtian Sect Master to the sect masters. It is said that it is the mandate of heaven for so many sect disciples to be on the god list, but when the Tongtian sect master and Yuan Shi Tianzun and other saints jointly set up the god list, he expected how to change the method of his disciples to be on the god list, so the Tongtian sect master wrote two sentences in the Biyou Palace, saying that it was "close the door of the cave and quietly recite the three or two volumes of the 'Huang Ting'; It's a pity that the disciples of the Tongtian Sect Master didn't listen to the advice, and they had to cause trouble, and finally they all died one by one, becoming a wisp of dead soul on the Fengshen platform. Here are a few very typical sectarian disciples that can be used as examples:

One is Zhao Gongming. Zhao Gongming originally cultivated well in Luofu Cave of Emei Mountain, but one day Wen Zhong came to visit, and it was Wen Zhong who was blocked from crusading against Xiqi, so he came here to ask Zhao Gongming to come out of the mountain to help. In fact, Zhao Gongming could not care about it at all, but he felt that the Ten Heavenly Monarchs on Jinqi Island had died more than once, so he went down the mountain to help Wen Zhong. And after going down the mountain, Zhao Gongming could also retreat under the pretext of losing his chance, but he couldn't swallow that breath, so he went to Sanxian Island to find his three sisters to borrow magic weapons, and finally died in the hands of Lu Press. In fact, when he went to Sanxian Island to borrow the magic weapon, Zhao Gongming's eldest sister Yunxiao Fairy persuaded him, saying, "Brother, this matter is not feasible. In the past, the three religions discussed together, and they were bound to 'seal the god list', and we were all in Biyou Palace. We intercept the sect people, and there are quite a lot of them on the 'god list', so it is forbidden not to leave the cave, just for this reason. My teacher said, 'Be cautious when sealing your name and surname.' There are two more sentences posted outside the palace gate: close the door of the cave, quietly recite the three or two volumes of the 'Yellow Court'; Now that the Taoist friend has committed the killing precept, I intercept the sect is really free, the former Fengming Qishan, the holy lord in this life, why argue with him. Big brother, you shouldn't go down the mountain. You and I only waited for Ziya to seal the gods before we saw the fairy jade. Brother, please go back to Emei Mountain, and on the day of the pacification of the gods, I will personally go to the Vulture Mountain and ask you to burn the lamp and ask for the pearl to return you. If you want to borrow Jin Jiao scissors and mixed yuan gold bucket at this time, the girl will not dare to obey her fate. "Yunxiao Fairy was indeed reluctant to borrow the golden Jiao scissors and the mixed yuan Jin Dou to Zhao Gongming at the beginning, and later Hanzhi Xian came to persuade again, plus her two sisters were also persuaded on the side, Yunxiao Fairy agreed to borrow the magic weapon, and also persuaded Zhao Gongming to say: "Big brother, you take the golden Jiao scissors, and say to the burning lamp: 'You can return the Dinghai Pearl to me, I will not put the Jin Jiao scissors; if you don't return my treasure pearl, I will put the Jin Jiao scissors, then the moon is scarce and difficult to be full. Naturally, he will give you back the orb. Big brother, don't make a mistake! I'm telling the truth. Zhao Gongming really said this before the battle, but who cares about you when he says this above the battle array, and finally Zhao Gongming walked towards the realm of no return, and before he died, Zhao Gongming regretted not listening to the words of the eldest sister Yunxiao Fairy.

And the second one has to say that Zhao Gongming's eldest sister Yunxiao Fairy, the reason why she later became on the list of gods was that she was completely coerced in the eyes of the chivalrous king, so the chivalrous king wrote an article before on how the Yunxiao fairy was coerced into the god list.

Therefore, when we look at the sectarian disciples in "The Romance of the Gods", many of them know that there is a ban in the door, but they still disobey the order, some are fooled by Shen Gongbao, and some are to help out of brotherly righteousness. Since Shen Gongbao is so fond of making trouble, why doesn't he himself go directly to help, but also come here to be a lobbyist for others? In fact, in ordinary life, we also need to be wary of people like Shen Gongbao, who always instigate others to do this and that if they don't do things themselves, they are not good people at all. As for those who go to help for the sake of brotherhood and friendship, their feelings are pitiful, but their actions are not advisable, why? Why did these people do it before they left the mountain, knowing that there was a ban on their master? As for Wen Zhong personally coming to invite, if the chivalrous king was in their position, I am afraid that he would persuade Wen Zhong to retreat in the face of difficulties and not to get into trouble with those rights and wrongs. Besides, what is there to be loyal to a faint monarch like the King of Xu? Wen Zhong himself was actually very envious of that kind of life of cultivation, and when he asked for help, he once saw that the scenery of other people's cultivation places was beautiful and sighed, and even said this kind of remark on the way to attack Xiqi when he set out on his expedition. For example, when Wen Zhong went to Xiqi and passed by Huanghua Mountain, he saw the scenery of Huanghua Mountain and sighed: "What a mountain! If the song is quiet, the old man comes to Huanghua Mountain to avoid quiet and leisure, how much happy!" When he went to Jinqi Island to ask for the help of the Ten Heavenly Monarchs, Wen Zhong looked at the quiet green mountains and sighed and said: "I am because of the troubles of state affairs, the first king entrusted the weight of loneliness, when can I get rid of my troubles, sit quietly on the futon, participate in the mystical enlightenment, and read the volume of 'Huang Ting', let the black rabbit be like a shuttle, how can I have it with me." ”

From these points of view, we can all see that Wen Zhong yearns for this kind of monastic life. Moreover, according to the humble opinion of the chivalrous guest, Wen Zhong should not be outside at all, he should assist the king in the court, purge the treachery in the Qing Dynasty, and stabilize the internal affairs, and the rebel forces from all walks of life are just small dishes. At the beginning, when Wen Zhong conquered Beihai and returned to the dynasty, Chen Shice, if he could really implement it to the letter, he could really renew the life of the Shang Dynasty. These ten strategies can only be implemented when Wen Zhong is in the court. It's a pity that Wen Zhong didn't figure out the priorities, and went on expeditions everywhere, and in the end, the first generation of wisdom was ruined in Xiqi, and the government was increasingly corrupted, and after all, he still couldn't save this declining Shang Dynasty. However, after all, "Romance of the Gods" is still a novel written by combining history and myths and legends, and it can't always change history by writing. So, in the end, I still moved out of the Mandate of Heaven and let it all be summed up with a Mandate of Heaven.
