Hou Zi walked into the small view, which was more like a courtyard. Two real people were sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, and they were both equals.
An Zhenren made tea with his own hands and sighed: "Creation is impermanent and the world is subject to vicissitudes. The last time we met, I called you little friend. This time I will call you the leader. When I see you, I feel the changes in the cultivation situation. Everything is changing.
, we are the only ones who have not changed..."
Hou Zi said with a smile: "It's just a title. You are still the same person regardless of your appearance. You two seniors can just give me the same advice as before. I will be grateful to you."
The three of them sat down, and Master Xiao looked over, "Xiao An has probably told you, what, how do you feel?"
"Chaotic! No clue. To be honest, this junior has thought about it countless times, but there is no feasible plan. He wants to plan for peace, but also wants to benefit the Yan family, and wants to take care of the immediate future as well as the long term.
In the end, the junior realized that I was overthinking."
Master Xiao sighed, "It's not just that you think too much, it's that we all think too much. Planning only stops at the end. It only makes sense to plan for those beings who are far inferior to us; for those we can't control, instead of wishful thinking, it's better to
Just wait and see what happens.”
Hou Zi nodded, "Senior said, in fact, the root of all this is the anomaly in the Splendid Continent. This is obviously not a normal opening of the lower realm. When it comes to the real mysteries of the universe, we cannot speculate based on imagination."
The three of them are all very thoughtful people, and they see this matter very clearly. In fact, this matter itself is beyond their capabilities. In this case, any forceful intervention will be counterproductive.
Self-knowledge is easier said than done, but they did it.
"The Splendid Continent has become the eye of the storm in all realms of the universe; and the Anhe Dao Kingdom has become the reins of the Splendid Cultivation World. I am old and old, and I never imagined that I could be involved in such an unpredictable universe.
, I don’t know if it’s luck? Or misfortune?”
An Zhenren sighed with emotion.
Mr. Xiao waved his hand, "If you don't become a joke in the universe, just be a clown. We will eventually become the background, but little friend Hou, you may become the protagonist!"
Hou Tsang chuckled, "There are many protagonists, and now there are more than ten in Anhe Palace. This is a Taoist sect. The only thing I wonder is, there is no reason for Buddhism to stay out of such a big matter?"
Mr. Xiao said, "Of course they won't sit back and watch. As early as a few months ago, several major Buddhist sects have already made suggestions to us to open a Buddhist temple in Anhe. Of course, it is relative. They have not built a Buddhist temple in Anhe."
Temple, we can build two temples there, haha, the conditions are not unfavorable."
Hou Zi was very curious, "How did you reply?"
An Zhenren shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How else can we reply? We can only put it off! Let's wait for later. I think it will eventually turn into a competition between these Taoist geniuses and Buddhist talents, and I'm afraid we won't be able to play any role in it.
."
The old man felt helpless in his words. This was an unfair competition. The amount of information they had was too little, and their vision determined their limitations. This was more terrifying than the gap in realm and strength.
Master Xiao said with a smile: "It's not just Taoism and Buddhism, there are also weirdos from other Taoisms. For example, little friend, haven't you already stepped in?"
Hou Ting spoke righteously, "Senior, you dragged me here, so you can't put the blame entirely on me. Besides, I am a serious Anhe person. There is no reason to watch this in my hometown."
Are you pretending not to know when others are doing trouble?"
Master Xiao pointed at him, "You know, I like your unstinting character. You are right. No matter how many and powerful the dragons are, they can't overpower the local snakes. After all, we can be considered
Master."
After pondering for a moment, he carefully considered his words and said: "We came to you because we want you to have more contact with them. Due to our limited level and age, it is difficult for us old guys to get along with them. Whether they are enemies or friends, they seem to be separated by a distance.
At this level, people regard us old guys as useless people of the past who will eventually retire from the stage of history.”
An Zhenren said, "You don't need to make a choice, and don't interfere with the process. Listen more, watch more, have more contact, it doesn't matter if you take a beating, and then in the process, see if you can figure out a general context through their actions?"
You have fought against Shangqing Tianfeng Taoist, how did it feel?"
Hou Zi smiled and said, "Very strong! He still has many tricks to come up with, I can feel it."
Master Xiao looked at him meaningfully, "But you're not afraid, are you?"
Hou Zi chuckled and said, "If you're afraid of a street fight, you don't have to fight. I don't have any other skills, but I dare to flip the table."
Master Xiao laughed loudly, "I like to hear this, because you are ignorant, so you are not guilty! You are a reckless man in a small place, you don't know anything, so there is no need to follow their rules, they are playing with them, you
It's easier to play with you, and it's much better than guessing at everything and playing tricks on you."
Hou Tzu was speechless, "Wait a minute, senior, we are one, right? Why do I only hear what I do, and it seems that it has nothing to do with you?"
Master Xiao's expression darkened, "I really want to be involved, and I don't want to stay out of it, but you say it yourself, Anhe Dao Sect, can you pick out someone at the golden elixir level who can really help you?"
Hou Zi Yi Zhi, don't tell me, he really can't pick anyone out, including Taoist Yi! If you want to deal with others, your own ability is the foundation. In this aspect, most Jinxiu monks are far behind.
Master Xiao was reluctant, "Okay, we won't mention the decline of Anhe Dao Sect over the years. In the Splendid Continent, can you find someone who has the same goals as you and can really help you? Including those former true legends of the constellations.
?”
Hou Zi was still speechless, and Master Xiao smiled, "Look, it's not that we won't help you, and it's not that we won't send people. My friend, you are no longer on the same level as the Jinxiu people. There are some things you can only provoke on your own.
, you can’t count on others.”
Sighing, "It's sad that we can't make our own decisions in our own realm. It's the incompetence of our generation of practitioners. But it's also a fact that Jinxiu's spiritual inspiration was too short to revive. It was still sealed in a cover and couldn't be contacted.
In the outside world, how can we compete behind closed doors with those orthodox traditions that have been passed down for hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years?
I can finally see that what happens to Splendid Continent in the future cannot be borne by Splendid Continent alone! The purpose of these visitors from the upper world coming here is probably for this, to use their power to strengthen Splendid Continent. In this sense
, they may have their own purposes, but they are not entirely selfish.
What exactly is it? We don’t know, but little friend, you have to be careful and don’t blindly regard them as enemies. They may also be comrades fighting alongside you in the changes in Splendid’s future!”
