Jie Xianfang is not like an ordinary inn, except that it has rooms.
In Jie Xianfang, there are many pavilions and pavilions where people from various immortal sects can gather to chat or discuss Taoism.
After the members of the Baifeng Sect left, some of the members of the Immortal Sect returned to their own wards, burned their own sects, or contacted their sects through other means, while others gathered together.
Talking to each other about things in the world of immortality.
Immortal cultivators are also human beings, and they can also gossip.
"Did you hear about it? This time, the disciple of Jian Zong, Wu Jianzi, was stronger than ever before. He went all the way to major immortal sects to discuss the Tao, and he hardly spent more than a day. He even
All discussed with the elders of each sect."
"I've also heard about this. That Wujianzi is indeed unparalleled."
"You mentioned Wu Jianzi, but I remembered something. I heard, and I just heard, that Wu Jianzi seemed to have lost to a peak master from the Hundred Peaks Sect when he was discussing Tao."
"Wu Jianzi lost to the peak master of Baifeng Sect? It's impossible. Although Baifeng Sect is one of the top ten sects, their swordsmanship is very average. How could they win against Wujianzi?"
"As far as I know, when Wu Jianzi went to Wuhen Sect to discuss Taoism, the elder Jiancan of Wuhen Sect even came forward to discuss Taoism with Wujianzi, but in the end he lost to Wujianzi.
Excluding the Sword Sect, the Wuhen Sect is definitely among the top three sects in terms of swordsmanship among our Immortal Suppressing Dynasty. None of their elders have defeated Wu Jianzi, let alone the Baifeng Sect."
"This rumor is untrue, and I don't know who spread it."
"Speaking of the Baifeng Sect...the people from the Baifeng Sect are here..."
Suddenly, someone spotted Mr. Bai Percent who was returning, and everyone looked at him one after another.
"Strange, why is one of the two peak masters of the Hundred Peaks Sect missing?"
Out of curiosity, someone asked Lan Pili: "Peak Master Lan, why didn't Peak Master Cao come back?"
Lan Pili didn't know what the grand master wanted to talk to Cao Zhen. He knew better that if the grand master wanted to harm Cao Zhen, he couldn't stop him. Don't talk about him, no one in the whole world could stop the grand master.
.
What's more, they had made great contributions along the way and even helped save one of the Grand Master's disciples. It was impossible for the Grand Master to deal with them.
Therefore, he simply returned directly with his disciples.
Hearing someone asking from the side, he glanced around and said in a calm tone: "The Grand Master has left Master Cao behind. I have something to discuss with Master Cao."
After leaving a few words, he took everyone from the Baifeng Sect back to the other courtyard prepared for them.
"What? Grand Master left Master Cao behind?"
"How is that possible? What were Grand Master and Master Cao talking about?"
People from all the major sects around were greatly surprised.
"That's the Grand Master. It's very strange that the Grand Master took the initiative to summon everyone from the Baifeng Sect. It's understandable. It can be thought that the Grand Master intends to promote the Baifeng Sect, but why does the Grand Master still keep Cao Zhen?
"
"Cao Zhen is just the 100th-ranked Peak Master of the Hundred Peaks Sect. Not to mention us, some of the disciples may not be able to compare with him. Why does Grand Master want to keep him?"
"If the grand master must praise the Hundred Peaks Sect and must keep one person, it should be Lan Pili from the higher-ranked Pili Peak. Why did he keep Cao Zhen instead?"
"Strange, so strange."
With the departure of everyone from Lan Pili and Baifeng Sect, the hall seemed a little empty.
Cao Zhen sat on the chair and poured himself another cup of tea. The Grand Master said that he was interesting. Seeing this, the Grand Master would probably agree to his request.
It seems that the things I prepared on the way will not be used.
When the time comes, let Lingxi and the others come. The only problem is that Xiang Ziyu doesn't know where he is now.
Under Cao Zhen's expectant gaze, the grand master shook his head slightly and refused: "I am not interested in taking care of other people's children. The reward can only be given to you. If you don't want it, then change it to another one."
.”
"Okay, let's change it to a reward." Cao Zhen sighed in his heart, and was not in a hurry to say what reward he wanted to exchange for. Instead, he praised, "I have come across this along the way that the territory of our Zhenxian Dynasty is really great."
It's so vast, and you can even see the prosperity of each city.
Especially this capital city is extremely prosperous. It can be seen that our Zhenxian Dynasty is not ordinary wealthy. I guess the Grand Master also has a lot of materials.
Our Baifeng Sect is located in a remote place, and my Four Treasure Peak is the last one, so our resources are really limited. How about Grand Master giving me some medicinal materials?"
Cao Zhen took out a piece of paper from his arms with a smile and handed it to the Grand Master.
The paper is very long. It is more suitable to be called a scroll than a piece of paper. The paper is densely filled with words.
He had thought about it before coming to the capital. He wanted to come to the Grand Master to ask for benefits. If he wanted benefits, it would be elixirs. For convenience, he even wrote down all the elixirs he needed when he was on the road.
Go up.
The grand master raised his hand and took a breath, and the list fell on the table in front of him. He looked down at the black characters on the paper. For the first time since he met Cao Zhen and others, his face looked...
He showed a look of surprise.
After a slight pause, he raised his head, as if he wanted to see through Cao Zhen, and looked at Cao Zhen strangely.
After a long while, he asked with some confusion: "The number of these elixirs is very large, and there are many types. Many of them are extremely rare.
These elixirs are indeed an astronomical number. Even many people cannot accumulate so many elixirs in their lifetime. Even some smaller sects cannot accumulate so many elixirs even if they use their entire sect's efforts.
Panacea.
However, no matter how you say it, these are elixirs, and elixirs are elixirs after all. Even though they are rare, there are still opportunities to collect them.
However, following me and observing me for three days is an opportunity that not everyone can have. If you miss it, you will never have such an opportunity again.
You are a smart man, but you would choose to get the elixir, which is beyond my expectation."
In his opinion, Cao Zhen is a very smart person, and can even be said to be wise. With Cao Zhen's wisdom, it is impossible not to know that observing him for three days can increase the foundation of his practice.
The foundation is the capital for future breakthroughs.
Instead of following him for three days, he chose the elixir instead, which was obviously a waste of time.
He was really surprised that such a wise Cao Zhen would make such a choice.
Cao Zhen deliberately sighed and said helplessly: "Grand Master, I just told you that I have five disciples, but these five disciples of mine are too special. Four of them are ancient immortal bodies. They are useless today."
body.
Although others say that they are not suitable for cultivation and that they are unable to practice.
But, no matter what, I am their master, and as their master, I have to find some way out for them."
"So, you want to make alchemy for them so that they can break through and improve." The Grand Master remembered what his disciples told him that day about Cao Zhen's alchemy theory and the situation of Cao Zhen's alchemy. However, he also knew that ordinary people,
It is impossible to use elixirs to change the situation where the ancient immortal body and the current waste body cannot be cultivated.
Despite Cao Zhen's level of alchemy, he can do it.
only……
The grand master walked down from his chair and said slowly as he walked: "You are a good master. Even if your disciple has an ancient immortal body or today's useless body, you have never given up on your disciple.
But, at the same time, you are not a good master.
Because, if you yourself are not strong enough, how can your disciples be any better? With your intelligence, you should not know this truth, but you still do it, so what is your trump card?"
As he spoke, he walked up to Cao Zhen, stood still gently, looked at Cao Zhen with a straight face and asked: "Which era are you from?"
With Cao Zhen's intelligence, why did he refuse his reward?
Also, there is only one reason why Cao Zhen is only the 100th-ranked Peak Master of the Hundred Peaks Sect, but he has such level of alchemy skills.
Cao Zhen is a reincarnated powerful man, so he doesn't care about following him for three days. He feels that he can break through all the way just by relying on himself.
Cao Zhen has long been accustomed to others thinking that he is a reincarnated power. He was not surprised at all, nor did he hesitate at all. He said calmly: "I come from the Taichu Era and am a disciple of the Taichu Sect and the Nature Hall."
"Early Era?"
The Grand Master frowned slightly and fell into deep thought, but no matter how much he thought about it, he could not remember that there was an Taichu Era.
He couldn't even remember the Taichu Era, let alone a sect of that era.
In the beginning...
From the name, this must be a very ancient era. The history of cultivating immortals is vast and long, so it is not surprising that there are eras that he does not know about.
The Grand Master no longer struggled with what era the Taichu Era was. He looked at Cao Zhen and asked calmly: "I don't know, but what do you think of the Zhenxian Dynasty?"
Cao Zhen also looked calm and said: "To be honest, I still like the current Zhenxian Dynasty very much."
Talking about other things, he might reveal his secret, but when talking about social issues, he looks at the current Zhenxian Dynasty from the perspective of a modern person, and this is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
"The two biggest points of the Zhenxian Dynasty are the law. Everything depends on the law and the country is governed by the law. As long as everyone abides by the law, the entire dynasty will not be in chaos, and this dynasty will be relatively fair.
Another point is that everyone is equal.
In fact, obeying the law is also for the sake of equality for everyone, and in my opinion, this is not a bad thing."
Cao Zhen paused slightly as he spoke. The more he talked with the Grand Master, the more he let himself go and asked: "Grand Master, do you know that there is a Yang Shen Era?"
"Yang Shen?" The Taishi looked thoughtful again. After a while, he shook his head and said: "I don't know about this Yang Shen era. Is there anything special about that era? Why did you suddenly mention that era?
"
"Because, that era was quite interesting." Cao Zhen remembered the novels he had read before and started to talk, "In the Yang Shen era, there was a very interesting person. His dream in life was to hope that everyone in the world would be like a dragon.
.”
The Grand Master immediately laughed, and he didn’t know what the meaning of his smile was. He just knew that he was laughing and said while laughing: "This man's ideas are indeed very interesting."
"Then what does the grand master think?" Cao Zhen looked at the grand master and complained in his heart. It's very interesting that you are so silent. What does it mean to be very interesting?
The Taishi thought for a while and said: "All things are born in the world. All things in the world are of one kind, and they are all dragons. So are dragons still dragons? In that case, why does the sky give birth to all things? What is the meaning of all things in the world?
If there is only one thing in the world, then this world is probably not far away from extinction. I just hope that different people, different things, and different things will all develop in the direction they should. Or they themselves want to
direction to develop.”
When the Grand Master said this, he paused obviously, and said with a harsh tone in his tone: "However, there is a premise for the development of all things, and that is that immortal cultivators are not included. Because, in my opinion,
Come on, immortal cultivators are the most selfish group of people in this world!"
Cao Zhen asked curiously: "Why do you say that immortal cultivators are the most selfish group of people?"
As he spoke, he thought of the three Faji Sect members he met on the road, as well as Elder Jueying, and couldn't help but said: "I admit what you said, there are many selfish cultivators in this world.
It is indeed not a thing.
However, there is a group of people who can also kill demons and protect the peace of a place. Just like the Baifeng Sect where I am, there are no demons who will cause trouble within the radius of the Baifeng Sect. Even some immortal cultivators,
They will even sacrifice themselves for the sake of mortals."
"I know that the situation you mentioned exists, and these people you mentioned do exist." A sharp look suddenly appeared in the Grand Master's eyes that had always looked ordinary, and he looked directly at Cao Zhen and said: "Then tell me
, do these people have mortal blood on their hands?
When they fight other immortal cultivators or demon cultivators, or demons, do they have to fight in an area where there are no living beings?
Or will they also fight over cities or between cities?
Will they cause destruction when they fight each other?
Even though they were killing demons, but they killed the demons, what about the others?
How many mortals will die because of being affected by their battles, and how many people will have their houses destroyed by them and have to sleep outdoors!
When they fought, did they ever consider those mortals?
I think they didn't think about this at all when they were fighting. They just thought about slaying demons. They thought that if they killed those demons, they would be worthy of their conscience. They were doing good deeds. They were good deeds.
Protecting one's peace.
They couldn't see how many people died because of their fighting.
But what if there are no immortal cultivators in the world?
Without immortal cultivators, would there still be demons?
All immortal cultivators and demon cultivators do not exist, and naturally there will be no demons. Then, if all the people in the world are mortals, there will be no such problem. Wouldn't that be better?"
Cao Zhen felt the changes in the Grand Master and felt that the Grand Master was really too extreme. For this kind of person, the best way is to ask more extreme questions.
"So, since you think that immortal cultivators should not exist, why don't you kill all the immortal cultivators in the world? You are number one in the world. By that time, everyone in the world will be mortals, and it will naturally become,
Your ideal world."
"I would like to cut them down, but I can't cut them all off. It's like burning all the weeds in the wild, but when the spring breeze comes, they will grow again.
Because this is the way of heaven."
The Grand Master sighed softly and said: "Cultivation of immortals is a gift from heaven. Don't say that I can't kill all the immortal cultivators in the world. Even if I kill all the immortal cultivators in the Zhenxian Dynasty, but
The way of heaven will originally grant cultivation.
Cultivation is a part of the way of heaven. Even if all the immortal cultivators die, won't there be people who slowly realize how to practice?
Therefore, we can’t kill all the immortal cultivators. Therefore, I think that the immortal cultivators need to be controlled!”
"Is this your attitude towards immortal cultivators? You don't kill all the immortal cultivators just because you can't kill them all?" Cao Zhen looked at the Grand Master curiously and asked: "You are also an immortal cultivator, why do you have such an attitude towards immortal cultivators?
, tell me your story.”
He is really curious.
He was just a mortal at that time, but he believed that if he had obtained the method of cultivating immortality at that time, he would have firmly cultivated immortality.
Whether it is in this world or the earth in the previous life.
Why does the Grand Master have such an attitude towards immortal cultivators?
"There should be a lot of rumors about me outside, and the rumors outside are not wrong. At the beginning, I was indeed a general of the Zhenxian Dynasty.
But there were rumors outside that when I led my army on an expedition, we were ambushed by an enemy country and the entire army was wiped out. In fact, this was not the case.
That time we did not encounter an ambush, but because the other party found immortal cultivators to take action, and there were three immortal cultivators.
That's why our entire army was wiped out. Because of my luck, when I led my army to escape, I accidentally entered an ancient ruins and escaped this disaster.
At that time, I was just a mortal, and I didn't know why. I was the only one who entered the ruins, and the other soldiers did not follow.
The rest of the matter was simple. I practiced in the ruins, and then left the ruins. The first thing I did was to find the immortal cultivator who took action that day.
The first immortal cultivator I found, although his cultivation level was higher than mine, was no match for me and was killed by me.
After I kill one of the opponents, they will naturally continue to send people to chase me. I will fight all the way and make breakthroughs all the way.
It was not that big a sect of cultivating immortals. In the end, I killed the other party's sect alone and uprooted the entire sect of the other party.
As for what happened next, after I became the number one master in the Zhenxian Dynasty, you must have heard about it.
What I want to say is that when I was still a mortal, before I became recognized as the number one master of the Immortal Suppressing Dynasty, I saw too many immortal cultivators doing whatever they wanted.
That day, that immortal cultivator took action, and our entire army was slaughtered by him like chickens and sheep. And later, when they hunted me down, they didn't care where I was or whether there were innocent mortals around me.
If they see me, they will attack me.
Later, in order to prevent innocent people from being implicated, I did not even dare to enter any city again.
But even so, they would take action, either on the people close to me or on my former boss.
They don't regard mortal lives as human lives at all.
In their view, as long as they can accomplish their goals, it doesn't matter how many mortals die.
It was from that moment on that I realized the selfishness of these immortal cultivators."
As the Grand Master said this, he turned to look at Cao Zhen, with a gleam in his eyes, an invisible pressure looming, and the air in the entire room seemed to become heavier.
He stared at Cao Zhen and said word by word: "I am telling you so much because you are a reincarnated powerful man. Since you asked, I will tell you some of my own thoughts.
However, I am not trying to make you agree, but I want to tell you.
As long as you are in this Immortal-Suppressing Dynasty, you must be honest to me and abide by the rules of my Immortal-Suppressing Dynasty. Otherwise, I don’t care how strong you were in your previous life, and no matter what reincarnation you are, I will
I will kill you anyway."
Cao Zhen lightly shrugged, knowing in his heart that the stories told by the other party were almost all spread from outside. He would never find out what the Grand Master really experienced no matter how much he asked.
Because, the Taoist heart of the Grand Master is too hard, like a rock.
However, it didn't matter if he couldn't ask. Instead, he was curious about another thing.
"There is no need for you to tell me this, and there is no need to threaten me. Moreover, it is not good for you to threaten me like this.
Nowadays, the rules of heaven and earth are changing, and the reversal of the universe is coming soon. I can feel that the world is so weird and there is only a thin line between discovering you.
You will fall asleep at any time, aren't you afraid? You have just threatened me with your front foot. I will wait for all your disciples above the Golden Core to fall asleep, and then rush into the capital of the Zhenxian Dynasty to dig your grave. Come out, and then destroy you and let you die completely?
You know that I am a reincarnated power, so you should be clear. As long as I want to, I can easily become the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir. When I become the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir, none of your Golden Elixir disciples can stop me. , even if they all unite, it won’t work.”
"Asleep?"
The grand master seemed to have heard some funny joke, and sneered, looked at Cao Zhen with a conceited face, and said extremely arrogantly: "I will not fall asleep in this small era of world reversal, and you will never have a chance.
Not just you, everyone is not extremely bad. Even if the world is reversed and the minor era comes, the world will still not be in chaos!
This minor era of reversal of the universe is very special.
The previous minor epochs of reversal of the universe did not have a fixed time. Sometimes the minor epoch of reversal of the universe would appear every thousand years. After it appeared, the minor epoch of the reversal of the universe might exist for decades or hundreds of years.
It is also possible that the minor era of reversal of the universe will not appear until after four thousand years or five thousand years.
However, it has been a long time since the last time the world reversed and the Minor Era disappeared, but it has never appeared.
I know that many people have been waiting for a long time. Ever since I rose up, ever since I became the best player in the world, they have been waiting for the arrival of the Little Era when the world is reversed.
However, the minor era of reversal of the universe has never appeared, and no one knows why this minor era of reversal of the universe is so special and takes such a long time.
Now that they have seen the reversal of the world and the emergence of the Little Era, all of them have already had their thoughts wandering, but like you, they will never get the opportunity they are waiting for."
Cao Zhen heard the sound and realized that it turned out that since the rise of the Grand Master, the reversal of the world has never happened in the Little Era.
This time, it is the first time that the world has reversed and the Minor Era has appeared.
It's just that he doesn't understand something.
"Why are you so confident? Do you think you can really compete with the way of heaven?" He never believed that the grand master could violate the way of heaven and just contend with the way of heaven without falling asleep.
The grand master raised his hand and pointed at himself, and said proudly: "I am the number one in the world, and all the people in Zhenxian Dynasty recognize me as the strongest person.
However, after seeing me, are you confused, wondering why I am still the number one person in the Zhenxian Dynasty when I am not as strong as those sleeping masters of your Baifeng Sect?
you are wrong.
Even at their peak state, they are far from my opponent. You must be wondering why I am so strong, why I am not asleep, and why I can avoid the law of heaven? Because, I used a method."
Out of curiosity, Cao Zhen blurted out without thinking, "What can we do?"
The grand master stretched out a hand and made a killing gesture in the air. He looked at Cao Zhen and his tone returned to calmness and said: "Because, I killed myself."
He cut himself off with a knife, but when he said it from his mouth, it was as calm as drinking water and eating.
Cao Zhen was not calm at all. He cut himself with a knife. Naturally, he cut off his own cultivation.
If a person's cultivation is damaged after being injured, or even like Yu Tuoyu, a disciple of the Grand Master, who took the elixir after self-exploding the golden elixir, in theory, the damaged cultivation can be slowly restored.
However, if you cut off your own cultivation, if you have cut off your own cultivation, then it is really gone, and it is very, very difficult to cultivate it back.
Cutting yourself off with a knife is equivalent to abolishing your martial arts and cutting off your muscles and veins!
It can even be said that self-cultivation is basically equivalent to self-cultivation. After that, you will not be able to truly practice again.
Cao Zhen was surprised.
The Taishi's voice came again: "I know that as the minor era of the reverse fate of the world gets closer and closer, the suppression of heaven's way will become more and more severe. In the following days, I will continue to self-cultivation and self-cultivation until the end of the world.
Until the golden elixir realm."
Cao Zhen instantly understood what the grand master meant.
Grand Master, he will always be like this, keeping only a slight gap from the discovery of the way of heaven, and then cut himself all the way to the golden elixir realm.
This idea is too strong.
How could the Grand Master have such an idea!
He was filled with surprise and confusion.
The Grand Master looked at the shocked Cao Zhen and said calmly: "Are you thinking about what I should do if I wait until the Little Era is over?
By that time, people from all realms above the Golden Core will wake up one after another. At that time, I will only be the Golden Core. Am I going to die?"
As the Grand Master spoke, an extremely strong self-confidence emerged from his body, and he said proudly: "So what if I cut off my own cultivation? If I cut off my own cultivation, I can just cultivate back, not that I can't cultivate back."
I believe that when the Little Era of the Reversal of the Universe ends, I will be able to break through again and bring back all my cultivation skills.
What realm of cultivation was I able to achieve back then, why couldn’t I reach it and cultivate back again? Even if I cut off my cultivation, it would be the same!
When that day comes, I will still be the best in the world, and I will become stronger!"
Cao Zhen felt the Taishi's confidence. For the first time, he felt the Taishi's thoughts, and this kind of confidence, he felt, was more confident than the self-confidence of a time traveler!
It was me. What I got was a real protagonist script. It was not the protagonist character that Xiang Ziyu thought. But I was not so confident.
The Grand Master's paranoid self-confidence has reached such a level that when people next to him listen to it, they will be convinced that he will be able to do everything he said!
This is the first time that I feel such strong confidence from a person!
After the Grand Master finished speaking, he stopped talking about these questions. He glanced at the list in his hand, and his tone became calm again: "Although there are many elixirs, you saved my disciple after all. Likewise, you also contributed to the Zhenxian Dynasty.
Mortals have done many things, and I can give you all these materials."
When Cao Zhen heard the Grand Master's words, he woke up from his admiration for the Grand Master's strong self-confidence. In front of him, the Grand Master had already walked to the door, and the voice came again.
"The elixir you want is indeed a lot. It will take me time to prepare the elixir. Why don't you stay and have a casual meal together?"
"That's fine." Cao Zhen nodded quickly. He was indeed curious when he came to see the Grand Master. More importantly, it was because of these elixirs that he naturally wanted to stay.
Just a casual meal...
Cao Zhen soon discovered that this simple meal was really a simple meal.
The two of them just had four simple dishes and one soup. The four dishes were just ordinary farm dishes, and the place where they were eaten was under the grape trellis in the yard outside.
He knew that the stone had been beaten by many winds and rains. And the stone he was sitting on was extremely smooth. He didn't know how many times someone had sat on it.
He had just sat down when the door to the courtyard was pushed open.
A middle-aged man in khaki clothes, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, walked over.
This middle-aged man couldn't see any aura of cultivation, nor could he feel anything special. If he were placed on the street, he felt that no one would notice him.
But when this middle-aged man walked into the Grand Master's residence, he felt as casually as returning to his own home.
This person? Who is this? A disciple of the Grand Master? It doesn’t look like that either.
Cao Zhen was wondering in his heart. Beside him, the Grand Master had already stood up and raised his hands in the direction of the middle-aged man.
"His Majesty."
The voice was not loud, but when these two short words came, Cao Zhen's whole body felt like he was struck by lightning, and he almost screamed "Fuck!"
This man, this middle-aged man, turned out to be the emperor of the Zhenxian Dynasty!
emperor!
Cao Zhen suddenly reacted and stood up. He looked at the Grand Master and then at the Emperor. He was a little confused.
In these two lifetimes, this was the first time he saw the emperor.
Why did the emperor come suddenly?
By the way, this is the emperor, so what should I do?
Cao Zhen turned to look at the Grand Master beside him and asked: "Well...should I kneel down?"
He really didn't know what people in this world should do after seeing the emperor.
Anyway, he knew that before a certain dynasty on earth, ministers did not have to kneel when they went to court after meeting the emperor, but he did not seem to be a subject of the court.
So, what should I do when I see the emperor?
The grand master did not answer Cao Zhen's words, but looked at Cao Zhen and said somewhat strangely: "You are really a strange person. An ordinary person will kneel down when he sees the emperor.
Even those who are cultivating immortals will kneel down even if they see me beside the emperor, even if they are unwilling to do so.
Even if some people have extreme pride in their hearts and despise a mortal emperor, they will still kneel down and be frightened, thinking that I am right next to them.
They will all kneel down.
However, I feel a very special feeling in you.
I can sense that you don't have the same contempt and contempt in your heart for the emperor that some cultivators do.
However, at the same time, you don't think much of the emperor.
That feeling is that in your eyes, the emperor seems to be no different from you.
Moreover, I can also feel that in your eyes, there seems to be no difference between you and me."
Cao Zhen suddenly laughed. He was surprised just now. He was surprised at the identity of this middle-aged man. It was indeed the first time he saw the emperor.
After all, the identity of the emperor is here. Anyone who sees the emperor will be surprised.
But I was just surprised.
He indeed did not regard the emperor as a superior being.
"Are we any different?" Cao Zhen looked at the Grand Master and suddenly laughed, pointing at his head and said: "We are all the same people, aren't we? We all have the same head and two hands.
We all have the same needs to eat and sleep, we all have the same joys and sorrows, and we all experience birth, old age, sickness and death. What difference can we make?
It's just that some of us have higher cultivation levels and live longer. It's amazing, the emperor has a little more power than me. It's amazing, your current cultivation level is higher than mine.
What else is there? There is no difference between us.
Anthracene, a little less, the three of us are still men. In fact, as you said, everyone is equal. Since everyone is equal, I think you and the emperor are the same, isn't it normal?"
"Interesting, really interesting." The Grand Master looked at Cao Zhendao in surprise, "This is the first time I have heard such a theory from you."
When the emperor heard what Cao Zhen said, which many people thought was an unreasonable theory, he did not show any anger on his face. He raised his hand and pointed towards the stone table and said: "Don't stand still, sit down and eat together."
.”
Cao Zhen did not wait for the emperor and the grand master, but sat down with them almost at the same time. Looking at the food in front of him, he felt more and more that this simple meal was a simple meal.
After fussing for a long time, these four dishes and one soup were not for two people, but for three people.
In this era, it is obvious that there is no such thing as keeping silent, or perhaps the grand master does not care about these red tapes. As soon as he sat down, he looked at the emperor beside him and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly come to me?
"
"I just heard that you met with people from the Baifeng Sect in this old house, and even kept one person specially. It felt really strange. I was curious about what kind of person could make you stay, so I came here to see them.
look."
As the emperor spoke, he took a spoon and scooped out a bowl of soup. Then he looked at Cao Zhen and said, "Now that we have met, I found that the person you left behind, Grand Master, is quite interesting. No wonder you stay here, Grand Master."
he."
Cao Zhen could see that although the relationship between the Grand Master and the Emperor was monarch and minister, they were still very casual. While the Emperor was talking, the Grand Master did not just stop and didn't understand. He could also use chopsticks to pick up vegetables and eat.
And he also picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of tofu and put it into his mouth.
Before the tofu could be swallowed, the emperor turned his head, looked at him and said: "Actually, sometimes, I really envy the immortal cultivators.
After all, immortal cultivators will live longer and rarely get sick. The longer they live, the more things they can do. The longer they live, the more experienced they will be, and the easier they will be to handle government affairs."
Cao Zhen swallowed the tofu in his mouth, looked at the emperor with some curiosity and asked: "In that case, why don't you become an immortal?
As you said, after cultivating immortality, you will not get sick and you can live longer. The longer you live, the more government affairs you handle, the more experience you accumulate, the more you will understand what should be done.
Handle government affairs and govern the country. In this way, it is also a good thing for the people of the Zhenxian Dynasty."
The emperor didn't have any airs. He took a mouthful of food and swallowed it. He looked at Cao Zhen with a look of reminiscence on his face and said: "When I was very young, I really thought about cultivating immortals. Later, when I grew up,
Son, I don’t want to become an immortal anymore.
Because I was already sensible at that time, and I knew that if I were to become an immortal, I would have an extraordinary heart.
At that time, I no longer had the mentality of a mortal. When considering problems, I would consider them from the perspective of an immortal cultivator. Even over time, gradually, I will no longer know what suffering is in the world and what the needs of ordinary people are.
What.
Even, I will neglect the governance of the country because I am obsessed with cultivation.
Therefore, I cannot become an immortal, I must be a mortal.
Only when I am a mortal can I know what the people need and can I govern this country well."
Cao Zhen looked up at the emperor in surprise. He really did not expect that this was the reason why the emperor did not cultivate immortality.
The emperor raised his hand and pointed toward the outside of the courtyard and said: "Some people in Li are like me, and they don't live to be more than a hundred years old, right? But, if I am a person whose life span exceeds ten thousand, how do I know what they are thinking? What if I
I can fly with a sword and cast golden light across the ground, so how could I possibly know how the people need to travel..."
Cao Zhen listened to the emperor's words and said curiously: "So, don't you think it's a pity?"
He put himself in his shoes and thought, if it were him, with the best master in the world by his side as a grand master, would he be able to give up the temptation of cultivating immortality?
He felt he couldn't do it.
What about the emperor? After he did it, didn’t he feel it was a pity?
