After waking up early in the morning, Elder Shi had a simple breakfast and then Shi Shiran, hands behind his back, prepared to go to the Moon Worship Sect to inspect its work.
"Meet Elder Shi!"
"Elder Shi!"
Pedestrians along the way, members of the Moon Worship Sect, and officials all respected him.
At this moment, he finally understood the four words of the ancient saying in the Tang Dynasty: contentment.
Since the founding of the Nanzhao Kingdom, he, Elder Shi, was the first elder to allow the Zhao family to fully control the power of the entire country. By doing so, he believed that he was far worthy of the appreciation and cultivation of the ancestors of the Zhao family.
If the former King Zhao were still alive, he would probably be able to smile when he saw this scene.
From now on, he will be the king, minister and envoy, and together with King Zhao, he will lead Nan Zhao Kingdom to an unprecedented height.
Even with those loyal followers in the Yue Worship Sect and those miraculous exercises, materials, and technologies, he suddenly had a new ambition: to expand his territory and make achievements!
Why don't men take Wu Gou and collect the fifty states in Guanshan?
If the Nanzhao Kingdom occupies the Central Plains and is rich all over the world, then one day in the future, even if he dies on his bed, will he be able to leave his name in history and be immortalized forever?
Can future generations be proud of his name?
Thinking of this, Elder Shi raised the corner of his mouth, and then quickly held it back.
He is a big shot now, and he can express his emotions and anger, so how can he laugh at will. But there is still one important matter at present. Since the descendants of Nuwa have disappeared, there is no need for the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult to exist, and he must go!
What about practitioners? As far as he knew, Shushan had made an agreement with a big shot: practitioners must not use magic to interfere with human affairs.
As long as he clearly communicates the pros and cons to that evil beast, how dare he risk the disapproval of the world with that evil beast's intelligence?
He who knows the current affairs is a hero!
The head of the Moon Worship Sect, the middle door is wide open.
Elder Shi was very satisfied, these little guys are so sensible!
"Stop! The leader has stipulated that no one else is allowed to enter!"
"How presumptuous!" The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared: "Open your eyes and see who I am?"
The guard's face was expressionless: "Elder Shi, early this morning the leader has reduced your authority to level one, which is the same as our guards.
According to regulations, you do not have permission to enter unless you are on a specific day or a specific shift."
Elder Shi was startled and looked around. He didn't know when dozens of believers had gathered around to watch, with indifferent expressions. Some even held weapons and were eager to try.
"Rebellion, rebellion! If you want me to die, I have to die! Are you going to rebel?" The great elder was furious.
No one responded.
Elder Shi felt a chill in his heart.
Why?
No matter who becomes the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult, logically speaking, the treatment of these believers will not change. Even for those senior members of the Moon Worshiping Cult, he and the Holy Aunt once promised high-ranking officials, generous salaries, and the title of wives and children.
As a result, no one stands up to support him now? Don't these people understand what the justice of the family and country is, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and are they just beasts?
This Nanzhao country should have been named Zhao!
Moreover, the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult is extremely ambitious and has ulterior motives. He is not a son of man. What can they gain by following such a leader?
From the current point of view, it is just to have enough food and clothing, make progress in spiritual practice, and at most ensure that the family is full of children and grandchildren, and live in good health.
This... seems pretty good.
Nanzhao Kingdom is coming to an end!
No, there is still a chance, Linger!
The Witch Queen's daughter was rescued by the Shushan Taoist priest. As long as she goes to Shushan to get Ling'er back, and then lets the Moon Worshiping Cult and Nuwa's descendants control her, Nanzhao Kingdom still has a chance.
Thinking of this, Elder Shi began to become angry again.
"Just wait for me!" He pointed his finger at everyone, snorted coldly, and the great elder flicked his sleeves and strode away.
At the door, Baiyue quietly looked at the back of his adoptive father who left angrily, with an indifferent expression.
It seems a little ridiculous, but he has already sacrificed his happiness and will never laugh again.
…
Fairy Island.
The island is shrouded in clouds and mist, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, birds singing and fragrant flowers, lush trees, looming mountain peaks, and colorful fallen flowers with a fragrant fragrance. Every area is as beautiful as a painting, as if it is a fairyland.
Li Xiaoyao inspected this small island and was very satisfied. With such scenery, and the fact that it was unknown how many miles west of Nanzhao Kingdom, it must be different from the future.
He changed the future!
"Mother-in-law, Ling'er, I'm leaving soon. Just stay here. Remember, don't let anyone get close to this island!"
Zixuan nodded: "Although I am no longer in cultivation, it is still possible to set up a formation with the help of the spiritual grass and spiritual trees on this island. Thank you young hero for your help."
"Brother, where are you going?" Xiao Ling'er looked at Li Xiaoyao who was unmasking the black scarf with some reluctance.
My little brother is so good-looking! He is also my savior!
"me……"
Thinking of the scenes in the future, Li Xiaoyao's heart sank. He had already run so far, wouldn't that evil cat from Shushan still find this place?
Probably not, this place was so far away that he didn't even know where he was.
"I'm going to save the world!" the young hero said with emotion.
The world in the future is changing so fast that it even scares everyone.
"Ah, why would my brother come to see me?" Xiao Ling'er's big round eyes burst into tears.
Li Xiaoyao thought for a while and took out a small red stone: "No, this is a seed. When Ling'er makes it bloom and bear fruit, I will come to see you."
"Okay, hook!"
"Pull the hook, hang yourself with the hook, and it won't change for a hundred years!"
"Hehehe~"
…
After a while, Zixuan looked at the flying sword quietly, then patted her granddaughter's head without saying anything else.
Stone blossoms?
Children do not need to face those cruel truths too early. Their childhood should be full of colorful light.
"Meow~"
"Wow, what a cute little kitten, hee hee, it's so itchy, don't lick it~"
Zixuan turned around and saw a little yellow cat playing happily with her granddaughter.
"Le Ye?"
"Meow meow~" The little yellow cat managed to deal with Zixuan, who was already a thing of the past, despite his busy schedule.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [Qing'er asked me to take care of and teach Ling'er.]
Zixuan nodded.
She had heard from Chang Qing that this little yellow cat was magical, so Qing'er was probably fine. Although she didn't have much love for her daughter, it was good that she was still alive.
"In that case, I'll leave it to Master Le. This spiritual island is quite large, so I have to carefully calculate the layout of the formation." Zixuan said with a smile.
For her now, finding something to do can bring some fun to the boring life about to die of old age.
After rubbing against Xiao Ling'er's tender face, the little yellow cat shook its tail, feeling very happy.
"Meow~"
[Don’t worry, I will take good care of your granddaughter! Come on, Ling’er, let’s take the first lesson today: The Analects of Confucius!]
"Okay!" Xiao Ling'er said happily.
With Le Ye accompanying me, my future life on the island will definitely not be lonely!
Before she was in the palace for more than half a year, because she could talk right after she was born, many children were afraid to play with her, and she only had one good friend, Anu.
But Anu has to practice every day, and the most he can do is accompany her in bed at night and talk to her about her daughter's family.
Now she has to work hard to practice, save her mother, and let her big brother play with her, and by the way, Anu! Oh, and Uncle Yue Worshiping!
…
Shushan.
Shortly after Sword Master Yin Ruozhuo entered Taoism, the previous leader Xu Changqing and Yuanshen Elder Chang Yin announced their abdication to make way for others, and retired to seclusion. Sword Master took over as the twenty-fourth generation leader of Shushan, and was in charge of the Mountains and Rivers Map and the Huntian Battle.
"Whoosh~"
Mo Yixi came back angrily with Yu Jian.
"Bang~"
One head hit the defensive shield, vibrating the energy and blood, and spurted out a mouthful of bright red blood.
"Fuck, why has the access order of this formation been changed again?" He cursed casually, and the Jiujianxian simply stood outside the formation and started to rant.
"Senior brother, please come out and explain why you didn't go to support Nanzhao Kingdom? Don't we, Shushan, care about exterminating demons and defending the Tao now?"
"Brother, are you the head of Shushan? You just watch the water monster poisoning the people!"
"Senior brother...ah!"
The brilliance circulated, Mo Yixi screamed, and found himself standing on the shore of Wangyue Lake. Brother Sword Master had a peaceful face and was feeding the fish seriously.
Wasn't this matter of feeding fish done by the novice disciples before?
wrong!
Mo Yixi angrily rushed to the side of Brother Sword Master and asked directly: "Why? Why can you still be so calm?"
The sword master looked calm: "This is the way everything should go."
"Tao? Hahahahaha!" Mo Yixi laughed loudly: "Giving up the marriage in the previous life, sending the Witch Queen back to Nanzhao Kingdom, and asking her to follow the path of Nuwa, does this represent your Tao?
Nuwa's path must ultimately only involve sacrifice. Why do you want her to continue on this journey? Is this the way to fulfill her? Why, answer!
Could it be that after I sent the Witch Queen down the mountain and repeated the path of the Sword Master, I became drunk from then on, and even on the night of the Witch Queen's wedding, I let down a woman who loved me deeply? Answer me!
Is it my Tao! Is it the pain that I have to go through before entering the Tao! Answer!! I don’t understand, I don’t understand, I don’t understand!!!”
Until the end, Mo Yixi finally couldn't bear it anymore, his magic power surged, and he lowered his fist.
"Boom~"
Violent explosions sounded throughout Wangyue Lake, and every fish and shrimp in the lake saw the sky again.
The corners of the sword master's mouth twitched.
After venting his anger, Mo Yixi raised his hand and pointed directly at the Sword Master with his index finger: "In your eyes, forgetting is the Tao, giving up is the Tao, sacrifice is the Tao, betrayal is the Tao, waste is the Tao, destruction is the Tao,
The opposite is the way, and the wrong is the way.
If attaining the Tao means sacrificing everyone else to fulfill oneself, then what kind of bullshit Tao is that!"
The Sword Master slowly shook his head: "I have done everything that can be done. Everyone has their own fate and destiny."
Mo Yixi was furious: "Stop saying that God's will is irresistible. Is it what you do to stay in this broken lake and raise your broken fish? Ah? Tell me, Baiyue killed your wife and you didn't go find her."
Does he take revenge?"
"God's will?" The sword master said helplessly: "What is God's will? God's will is not human will. All cause and effect are related to human beings themselves. The so-called fate is actually the reason why human nature is like this!"
Mo Yixi's mood gradually calmed down at this moment, and he even forced himself to calm down. There are three reasons.
First: Facing such a senior brother who is still amiable even if his saliva splashes on other people's faces, he can't do anything. Second: We are all brothers in the same discipline, love each other and are part of the same family. Fighting is not a good idea. Third
Three: Can't beat it.
"Senior brother, it can be said that everything between people is human-made, but are the joys and sorrows, landslides, and floods man-made? Do the people who suffer also bring it on themselves?"
The sword master stepped forward and patted his junior brother on the shoulder, patiently explaining: "If people don't think this is a disaster, it is nature, then what is all this? Why is it so painful?
Besides, birth, old age, illness and death are natural, joys and sorrows are a kind of attitude, and these can change according to people's wishes."
After hearing this, Mo Yixi's face was blank.
He could understand every word of his senior brother's words, but when put together, he didn't understand them at all.
Could it be that from now on, if something happened to his relatives or friends, he, like his senior brother, would just keep fish at home and watch helplessly, even if Shushan was destroyed?
"That's not right!" He shook his head vigorously, and Mo Yixi suddenly woke up: "I have a headache, I was almost knocked unconscious by your senior brother, I don't understand, and I don't want to understand either!
The best is like water. If you let the person you like fall into danger and do nothing to save him, is this the way? Is this the best?
Senior brother, just tell me whether you will take action or not, and whether you will avenge Qing'er?"
The sword master shook his head again: "The goodness in the water is not what you see, what you see is just the surface of the water.
Look at you in the water again. You are so confused that you cannot see clearly about yourself, what is water, and what is the Tao.
You already know how to pick it up, why can't you put it down?"
"I don't care! I just want to stick to the idea of the Supreme Good as Water or the Tao!" Mo Yixi started to lie directly.
Today he has decided to let his senior brother come out to avenge Qing'er even if he is in trouble.
The sword master laughed and pointed his sword directly at his junior brother.
"Chi chi chi~"
Mo Yixi was caught off guard and was hit three times. Then, his mind became more and more peaceful. His thoughts seemed to be but not to be, and he seemed to be thinking but not thinking. It was as if he was trapped in a state of complete silence.
Huh~
His soul seemed to be suddenly pulled out of his body. At this moment, he suddenly saw a different world.
Dust filled the air, drifting with the flow of air, and the chirping of birds seemed to be stretched, long and melodious.
A few grasses on the shore are hung with morning dew, trembling in the breeze. Occasionally, the dew drops slip and fall to the ground, making a tinkling sound and splashing countless crystals.
Then, the soul continues to rise upward.
Shu Mountain, Middle Earth, the Eastern Continent, the Infinite Sea...until you stand outside a planet with sky blue light.
This huge planet is surrounded by several larger stars, radiating fireballs, and countless small stars. Some stars seem to be alive.
At this moment, he suddenly felt the insignificance of human beings. Compared with the vastness of the universe, love, power, wealth, life and death seemed so ridiculous.
In the human world, in the world of gods and demons, there are countless natural and man-made disasters every moment. Many people die of illness, old age, and death even just by taking a breath.
