After a few words of self-bragging, the outspoken Tian Ming asked Xiao Ling another question:
"To put it this way, Dao Dao Brother, I feel that your Tianzong is very impersonal and doesn't care about anything?"
Upon hearing this, Shao Yu couldn't help but bump Tian Ming's side with his elbow, causing him to grin and rub his side.
Before Tianming could get angry and fight back, Shaoyu rubbed Tianming's head vigorously and explained to him with a smile, "Brother Lingli, don't mind, this kid Tianming... doesn't have much education, he doesn't know a few Chinese characters, and he can't speak well."
But for the brain, normal people like us still have to take care of it to some extent."
Tian Ming was so angry that he wanted to jump up and hit Shao Yu, "Who do you think is uneducated!? Who can't read!? Who doesn't have brains!? Why am I abnormal!? How can you..."
Shaoyu relied on his own brute strength to completely ignore Tianming's yelling and suppressed it by pressing his head.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling waved his hand indifferently and persuaded, "Okay, Shaoyu, this kind of problem is not a big deal."
"If you ask any Tianzong disciple about it, they won't care."
"Oh, you don't belong to Tianzong if you care about it."
Shao Yu smiled when he heard this, "Hehe, that's true."
As he spoke, the strength in his hands unconsciously loosened. Tianming used both hands to exert strength, and finally got rid of Shao Yu's restraint.
He was so angry that he was about to rush over to retaliate, but Xiao Ling spoke to him at this moment and attracted his attention away.
"Tianming, you can't understand Tianzong's inaction and ruthlessness. This is normal."
"Everyone's way of life is different."
"But..." Tian Ming turned to look at Xiao Ling and asked puzzledly, "If you stay in the mountains every day and don't care about anything, what's the meaning of life?"
"Besides, your Tianzong is so powerful, why don't you go down the mountain and do something?"
Xiao Ling pursed her lips and smiled at this, turned her head and glanced through the fluttering curtains of the carriage at the desolate scenery that was rapidly retreating outside, and then replied:
"Although the two sects of heaven and man have different concepts, their ultimate pursuit is the same, which is to achieve the supreme Taoist realm of the unity of nature and man."
"This is also the reason why the Yin and Yang family split apart - they have completely deviated from this realm and are blindly pursuing the so-called limits of heaven and man."
"The human sect's entry into the world and the tian sect's emergence are all for the sake of cultivation and... seeking the Tao."
"When Tianzong was born and entered the mountain gate, it was equivalent to abandoning everything in the world. The changes under the mountain and the changes in the world have nothing to do with us."
"Tao is the only pursuit."
Tianming’s little head couldn’t understand Xiaoling’s words more and more, “How can...”
He gestured with his hands, but couldn't express what he meant.
Xiao Ling nodded understandingly, "I know, I know what you think."
"From what you said before, I know that you should be determined to become... a knight, right?"
"When the road is rough, we should hoe the strong and help the weak, be benevolent and righteous, and save lives."
"However... at dawn, a hundred years of life may not seem short, but compared to the eternity and vastness of the world, it is only a blink of an eye."
"Birth, old age, sickness and death at the foot of the mountain, and even the change of dynasties, are no different to Tianzong than the flowers blooming and fading on the mountain, the sun rising and the moon setting."
"The lives you have saved, the people you have helped, the things you have done, and the evil you have eradicated, will ebb and flow over time, die...and then be reborn."
"The birth and death of Tai Chi, the flow of Yin and Yang, it is nothing better than this. It will remain the same for hundreds of years, thousands of years, and ten thousand years."
"Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature, and nature... is heartless and has no desires, because heaven and earth are unkind."
"What we disciples of Tianzong pursue is this natural way. The state we want to achieve is to be ruthless because we forget our emotions."
"I..." After Tianming listened to this long list of truths, he couldn't even seem to understand. He was completely confused and replied blankly, "I don't understand." p>
Shaoyu smiled awkwardly and responded, "I... don't quite understand either."
"Haha..." Xiao Ling chuckled and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Or I should say that you don't need to understand in the first place. You are not disciples of Tianzong."
"It's good to have your own pursuit. As for the Tao, haha... Even we Taoists never think that everyone should seek the Tao."
"Just listen to it, it will be a good conversation piece when chatting with others in the future."
Tianming replied in a daze, "But I do understand why Shaoyu asked you that before. I feel that Dao Dao Brother, you and the Tianzong disciple you mentioned are indeed... Although I don't understand it, I really don't feel like it."
It’s too similar.”
"You obviously saved us before!"
"I said, I am an outlier in the Tianzong." Xiao Ling shrugged and replied casually, "Besides, the state of being too supreme and forgetting one's feelings has always been pursued by the Tianzong, but this state is truly achievable.
There are only a handful of people - you can really count them on one hand."
"But to be honest, I'm not helping you just to save people."
"What do you mean?" Shao Yu was stunned and asked curiously.
Xiao Ling glanced sideways at the unconscious Gai Nie and said, "Because of Mr. Gai."
"Uncle?" Tianming tilted his head, "Brother Dao, did you know uncle before?"
"No." Xiao Ling shook her head and explained, "Although it is the people from Niququsha who deal with you, the people who want to attack Niququsha must still be wanted by Mr. Gai's empire."
"I don't know what kind of deal the two parties reached, but... I don't want the empire to get what it wants."
"This..." Shaoyu hesitated and asked, "Brother Lingli, are you also against the empire?"
"Well..." Xiao Ling pondered for a moment, without explaining in detail, just replied vaguely, "To be precise, it is because the personal grudge between me and the Yin Yang family has only affected the empire to which the Yin Yang family is loyal."
"Oh...that's why, brother Lingli, you will attend the Anti-Qin Alliance Conference." Shao Yu nodded and said with a look of surprise on his face.
Hearing this, Xiao Ling hesitated for a moment, and replied half in the affirmative and half in the negative, "Participating in the anti-Qin meeting is not only my own wish, but also the entrustment of the elders of my sect."
"Ah? But Tianzong isn't..." Shaoyu was stunned when he heard this. As far as he knew, Tianzong should not have the slightest connection with the anti-Qin forces.
He had wondered before why Xiaoling, who was born in Tianzong, would participate in the anti-Qin meeting. Just now he thought it was because of his grudges with the Yin and Yang family, but in the end it ended up involving Tianzong itself?
"Hmm..." Xiaoling thought for a moment and confirmed Shaoyu's understanding, "You are right, Tianzong should have no intention of participating in the anti-Qin affair."
"Perhaps the reason why I was arranged to attend the conference was just an excuse given by the elders to persuade me to come down from the mountain. After all... without this mission, I might not be able to make up my mind to leave Taiyi Mountain."
"However, my heart is not at peace, and I am always trapped in the grievances and hatreds at the foot of the mountain. I must finally settle them..."
