After listening to Lin Lushan, Prince Xiong Er and Shi Lei talk to each other and briefly describe the situation in the capital, Wu Jie frowned and remained silent.
From a personal emotional point of view, he wanted to rescue the emperor. But from a rational point of view, it is meaningless to rescue now - the coup was launched at night, and it is already morning now, and all night,
Everything is over.
Immortal cultivators pay attention to a predestined method. Since Wu Jie was not able to arrive in time, it means that the predestined method is not enough and cannot be forced.
But if you think about it from another angle, since he met the prince Xiong Er, he is related to the matter and has the need to take action. But how to take action must be carefully considered.
"This matter is not trivial!" Xiao Buyi saw that he was deep in thought and seemed to be tempted to take action. He whispered, "We are having a fierce battle with the disciples of Laojun Temple here. It can be said that it is just the right time. No one can say that we
What they did was wrong. Even their elders can only blame their own disciples for their lack of ability and cannot blame us."
"Similarly, if we had rushed to Changning City last night, we would have been able to take action no matter what - but not now! Going now is not just an ordinary battle of wits, but to stop Laojun Guan's actions in the world.
"
"How do you say this?" Wu Jie was shocked. He had never considered this issue.
Seeing his reaction, Xiao Buyi couldn't help but shook his head secretly, secretly thinking that the disciples of this large sect were really confident and didn't show any fear at all, so he explained it to him in detail.
According to the rules of monks in the world, there are three types of fighting methods: the first is the meeting between right and left, the conflict of ideas or interests, and a big fight if they disagree, which is called fighting; the second is the conflict of plans between the two parties, if one party wants to succeed, the other party must fail.
Involving huge interest disputes, this is called fighting for merit; third, each major faction decides on a time and place to prove their understanding of the Tao through a battle of wits, and they do not hesitate to live and die in order to pursue the Tao. This is called fighting for the Tao.
The intensity of these three fighting methods increases in sequence, and the methods that both sides can use also increase in sequence. When fighting for power, there is generally a convention of "not hurting Yuanling, not hurting innocent people, and not using the big to bully the small."
When competing for merit, the restrictions were changed to "You must not destroy Yuanling, and you must not use means that will cause large-scale destruction." When you compete for the Dao, all restrictions are lifted. In order to pursue the Dao, there is nothing that cannot be done.
.
Wu Jie and Xiao Buyi met Laojun's disciples on the road who were casting spells to harm people, and they were indignant and started fighting. This is fighting. Whether they kill or are killed, it is just a conflict between juniors, whether it is Laojun Guan or Qingyang Guan.
Regardless, the elders should not take action, otherwise they will bully the younger ones - Laojun Guan, who is an evil sect, may not care, but Qingyang Guan, who is a well-known and decent sect, will definitely care about this issue.
This means that as long as Wu Jie limits this matter to the level of "striving for success", the elders of Laojun Temple will not be able to take action even if they are watching from the side. At most, they can only take action when the disciples are in great danger.
Give them a little tug.
When they were cleaning the battlefield just now, they discovered that there were seven Laojun Temple disciples, but only six corpses were found. The corpse that was supposed to have died on the altar was missing.
That man was the only Netherworld cultivator among Laojun's disciples. He was far ahead of the other disciples in terms of wisdom, magic, and determination. But even so, he could not survive the infinite true sun fire caused by Xiao Buyi's spell.
.Since he is gone, he must have been rescued by the elder Lao Junguan who was spying in secret.
There are three levels in seeking the Tao and cultivating the mind. Entering the Tao to know the opportunity, opening up the secluded world to see the nature, and returning the elixir to clarify the mind. People who see the nature love life and are not afraid of death, which is enough to represent the sect in walking around the world without losing face. They are the backbone of a sect. Laojun
Although there are many disciples of contemplation, there is only one disciple who can understand the nature of the secluded world, so naturally he is reluctant to lose it for no reason.
This is the advantage of limiting the battle to the level of fighting for strength - if they were fighting for merit or Dao now, the elders of Laojun Temple would have already taken action to kill Wu Jie, and would never attack the Qingyang Temple's plain color magic on his body.
What scruples does the robe have? But if the level of the battle is just to compete, they can't take the risk of angering Qingyang Guan and bully the small ones. Only then can Wu Jie and Xiao Buyi win.
"We knew nothing about this matter before, so the fight was just a matter of strength; but now that we know the situation, if we continue to block the actions of Laojun Guan's disciples, we are deliberately sabotaging Laojun Guan's long-planned actions.
The battle of skills has been elevated to the level of fighting for merit... We will most likely have to face the senior masters of Laojun Guan, right?"
After hearing this, Wu Jie didn't understand what Xiao Buyi meant, so he directly asked about the key point.
Xiao Buyi hesitated for a moment and sighed, finally agreeing with his statement.
Wu Jie looked at Changning City, which was not very far away, and couldn't help but feel more and more distressed.
He couldn't enter Changning City, or even help the prince escape. Unless he planned to test how powerful he was and whether he could withstand the attacks of Lao Jun Guan's elders, he would have no choice but to do nothing.
He sat there and thought hard for about a quarter of an hour. He suddenly figured out the key to the problem and couldn't help laughing.
After he finished laughing, he wrote a letter, raised his invisible sword and sent it to his disciples, waiting for a reply.
This matter involves the throne of a country and the relationship with another sect. It would be too childish for him to decide!
Not to mention whether there is any grudge between Qingyang Temple and Laojun Temple, nor whether Qingyang Temple has any pre-arrangements in the Great Chu Kingdom. Just because of this majestic Chu State, he is not qualified by just a hundred-refined monk.
The one who points the way to the country.
Among the six countries in the world, the Chu Kingdom occupies about one-eighth of the land and one-sixth of the population. Its influence cannot be underestimated. To determine the future of such a big country, it is even more important to decide whether it will be a war with Laojun Guan.
Whether peace should and should only be decided by the Qingyang Temple Sect. For example, the head Zhenshi Zhenren, or the deputy head Shaoguang Zhenren... these people have the power to decide Qingyang Temple's stance on this matter.
Wu Jie had thought so much before, but it was all just random thoughts!
This is like a young man who lacks social experience and always likes to point out the country. But in fact, the people who can really point out the country are those who have achieved something. Young people, it doesn’t hurt to take a look, think about it, and talk about it.
It doesn't matter, if they really want to guide the country, they will not be able to do it.
Wu Jie is in this situation now. He generally understands the right and wrong, but he does not have the ability to decide how this matter will end.
Seeing the sword light soaring into the sky, Wu Jie relaxed and said with a smile: "I'll just wait for the master's decision. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Xiao Buyi stared at the retreating sword light for a long time, and then sighed quietly: "It's good to have a sect! If it were us casual cultivators, we would have no choice but to get out of here... But you are different, even if
If you are unable to defeat the enemy in front of you, you can also contact your master and ask your master to decide whether you want to fight..."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of all the unsatisfactory experiences in his career as a casual cultivator, and how he sometimes swallowed his humiliation when being bullied by others because of his high cultivation level or because of the crowd, and he couldn't help but look sad.
Although Wu Jie could not understand his depression, he understood what he meant.
Before traveling through time, he had heard a famous saying, "Only when you are away do you know the warmth of home." For monk Wu Jie, Qingyang Temple is his home, teaching him exercises, giving him magical tools, and giving him all the resources needed for cultivation.
, and can support him at critical moments.
After carefully recalling every detail of his time in the sect, Wu Jie deeply understood the meaning of Xiao Buyi's words.
He could hear that Xiao Buyi wanted to find a sect to join, and he also wanted to lure Xiao Buyi to join Qingyang Temple, but he couldn't talk about this kind of thing rashly, he had to talk to the elders in the sect first.
He is not a person who likes to make promises easily, because once he makes a promise, he must fulfill it. If you are not sure whether you can do something, don't say it casually.
The two of them were thinking about their own things and didn't speak again.
Lin Lushan and others fought and fled all night. When they arrived here, they were almost paralyzed from exhaustion. They were just holding on with the will to survive. At this moment, there were two immortals, Wu Jie and Xiao Buyi, sitting in charge. Even if they were
The burned-to-white manor looked unfit for rest, and they didn't care at all.
More than a dozen people were lying on the ground, sleeping soundly, snoring for a while.
After a while, a sword light fell from the sky, and Qingyangguan's reply finally came.
There are two people's answers in this reply letter. The top line is the answer from Shao Guangzhen, and the bottom line is Jiang An's handwriting.
Master Shaoguang's answer is only four words: Keep your integrity and don't lose it.
Wu Jie was very familiar with these four words, because they were the general outline of the Qingyang Sect's sect rules.
The Qingyang Sect Rules are long and verbose, and can take up to half a day to read, but the general outline is simple and clear, just these four words. As for how to understand these four words, and how to "keep the right and not miss the mark" in practice.
, it depends on the disciples themselves.
Master Shaoguang answered with these four words, and the implication was to tell Wu Jie: If you think it is right, then do it. We only look at whether we do things correctly, and we don’t need to care too much about anything else.
Compared with Shao Guangzhen's simple and clear answer, Jiang An's answer was much more detailed.
You have done a great job in this matter! Just do it with confidence if you want to do anything. Laojun Temple has elders, don’t we, Qingyang Temple, have elders? They have Gang Lian monks, and so do we; they have Yuan Ning Yuan monks, and so do we.
;They don’t have the Patriarch of the Return Pill, and neither do we!
Jiang An's answer was a naked encouragement to Wu Jie to fight and make trouble. He put on a posture of "If the sky falls, we will hold it up, you just go ahead and do it." Wu Jie couldn't help but get excited when he saw it.
Wu Jie did not read the letter behind Xiao Buyi's back, so Xiao Buyi naturally saw the letter. He who was originally envious of the disciples of the sect couldn't help but sigh again when he saw Jiang An's heroic answer.
envious.
Wu Jie felt that "a famous sect is good" has become Xiao Buyi's mantra...
With the support of the sect, their confidence immediately became stronger. When discussing countermeasures, they no longer had to worry about anything, they only needed to consider the effect.
"In my opinion, the best way is to return to Changning City immediately." Xiao Buyi startled everyone as soon as he opened his mouth, "Escape will not solve the problem, now we need to fight back!"
"But... there are many masters over there..." the prince said uneasily.
"When it comes to masters, we also have them here." Xiao Buyi's eyes flashed with confidence, "From the perspective of luck, your destiny has not yet stabilized. Whether you gain or lose it, this is a critical moment. If you run away now
, let the king of Dongshan County successfully ascend the throne, then the destiny will be
If it falls on him, even if you recruit an army to defeat him in the future, what you will inherit will not be the destiny passed down from generation to generation of the Chu Kingdom, but the destiny of reorganizing the country and starting anew. But if we counterattack now, he will
It is impossible to successfully inherit the destiny of the Great Chu Kingdom."
"Xiong Er is stupid, please let the immortal clarify!"
"The most likely reason why Laojun Guan interferes with the destiny of the world is to borrow the power of destiny. Although I don't know what they want to do with the help of destiny, I can be sure that they will never be allowed to succeed." Xiao Buyi raised his eyebrows.
, smiled and said, "Any more questions?"
"Let's talk about it slowly on the way if you have any problems." Wu Jie took out the Talisman Magic Sword and used all ten talismans in one breath, quickly restoring everyone's physical strength. "What we have to do now is to leave as soon as possible. Time waits for no one."
