(For the solemn explanation, the fifth avatar that was previously omitted - Holy Spirit Tree avatar Mu Linggong is now filled in: The Holy Spirit Tree avatar was formed by Yunlong refining the core left by the Holy Spirit Tree and placing his distraction on it.
The Holy Spirit Tree is an acquired spiritual root that can suppress and control all the trees in the world, so it transformed into the image of an old man named "Mu Linggong". He is good at wood Taoist magic and recovery and healing magic. He once treated victims on Long Island, a wild continent.
The cursed dragon and his great power in the battle with the magician. Although he does not have a very powerful attack ability, he is a master of support. When he does not transform and go out, he usually takes the form of a holy tree in "Dayana".
The practice in "Xu Qing Jing Tian" plays a role in suppressing the center of the cave sky; or it can be taken into the purple mansion of the sea of consciousness of the deity to assist in cultivation.
I deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused to everyone due to my negligence. I am really sorry.)
Xiang Tiannan's sincere words made other people's doubtful eyes less tense and relaxed the tense atmosphere again; it also surprised Li Xuanji, who seemed calm but was actually carefully observing Xiang Tiannan's every move.
.
You must know that the Shushan Sect is a top sect that has emerged in the past thousand years. It has climbed step by step from an ordinary sect to the glorious status of the top sect today. The hardships it has gone through cannot be described in simple words.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was the blood and bones of countless Shushan Sect disciples and their enemies over the past thousand years that brought the Shushan Sect to its current status! And in the process of the rise of the Shushan Sect, in addition to the so-called "Taiqing lineage" orthodox and
In addition to the role played by the "Innate One Qi Taiqing Divine Talisman" and the "Liangyi Dust Formation" given by Taozu, the other parts are all created by successive generations of Shushan disciples who paid the price of blood and fire.
In addition to the treasures and status, what he relies on is the spirit of doing his job without giving up to anyone else!
The Shushan sect is originally a sect of sword cultivators. Swords are sharp and capable of killing, and sword cultivators can only become stronger in battles. Without this sharpness, the strength of a sword cultivator will invisibly drop by three levels. This is also the case with the Shushan sect.
The reason why we always give outsiders the impression of being tyrannical, overbearing, and someone who would rather break than bend. Without this spirit, you will lose your enterprising spirit, courage and fighting spirit, and you will not be a qualified swordsman. This kind of spirit, or in other words, being tough and not knowing how to adapt.
The spirit of Shushan has become the unique character of Shushan disciples and is deeply imprinted in the hearts of every Shushan disciple and reflected in their actions. Therefore, many times Shushan disciples will not directly apologize even if they know that they have done something wrong.
He is a stubborn person with a tough attitude, and the most he can do is make up for it in a roundabout way afterwards.
As the leader of Shushan Sect, Xiang Tiannan is also known as the most outstanding leader of Shushan Sect in thousands of years. Every move and every move represents the image of Shushan Sect. Naturally, he does not lack this tough character. Although in recent years, as the Shushan Sect has become more and more powerful,
It became powerful and became one of the four top sects of the righteous way. It started with Kunlun's struggle to lead the world of cultivation. After that, the Shushan sect also began to take into account the influence and gradually changed its style. It was no longer as tough and aggressive as before; after all, although a leader cannot be a weak person and must have
Strong strength and prestige, but more importantly, you must be tolerant and broad-minded, otherwise it will not be enough to convince the public.
It is precisely because of this that when You Longzi assisted the Song Dynasty to unify the world, Xiang Tiannan did not support the mortal regime of Shu to resist, but followed the general trend and submitted to the Song Dynasty without any direct conflict with You Longzi. This
Of course, there are factors in the Zhengdao sect’s consideration of “acting in accordance with nature” and fear of You Longzi’s strength, but more importantly, it is to set an example for the world and various factions in the world of cultivation to enhance the prestige and image of the Shushan sect.
However, it is said that a country is easy to change, but a temperament is hard to change. The overbearing and tough character of the Shushan Sect has lasted for thousands of years. It is by no means something that can be changed overnight. Although the Shushan Sect now chooses to handle many major issues gently, in some uncritical and non-principled situations, it still
They always maintain their tough style, which is as tough and domineering as their swordsmanship and cannot be refuted. But now Xiang Tiannan actually took the initiative to put down his attitude under Li Xuanji's constant pressure, and even admitted his mistakes without hesitation.
But it was far beyond the expectations of others and had a very good effect. At least after admitting his mistake to Tian Nan, several other heads also expressed their understanding. Li Xuanji had become the target of public criticism because of his words.
The Shushan sect suddenly reached an easing relationship with other sects again.
Although Li Xuanji was shocked and puzzled by Xiang Tiannan's change, at this point he could only watch his plan fail without any solution. After all, the Shushan sect was still the top sect and Xiang Tiannan had not done anything.
There was nothing truly wrong. Other sects would not offend the powerful force of Shushan Sect just because of a few words. If he couldn't provoke him, he could only hold back the frustration in his heart and laughed twice.
He said: "It's really impressive to know a fellow Taoist and correct his mistakes. It's so rare. It's so rare." Then he closed his mouth and his eyes flickered, trying to figure out what he was thinking.
Xiang Tiannan naturally had his own considerations in doing this. To become the head of a top sect like Shushan Sect, one must not only have the strength to convince the public, but also have enough wisdom. How could Xiang Tiannan fail to see the situation just now?
His momentary loss of speech and Li Xuanji's instigation have already vaguely triggered public anger. Although it has not been made explicit yet, it is still very dangerous. If you are not careful, the Shushan sect will be labeled as "selfish and regardless of the overall situation." Once this happens,
If he really takes on this reputation, it will undoubtedly cause a huge blow to the image and prestige of the Shushan Sect, which will be very detrimental to the Shushan Sect's attempts to lead the world of cultivation.
Li Xuanji's strategy is not very clever at all. He is to use what Xiang Tiannan just said by mistake to incite dissatisfaction among other sects against the Shushan Sect. With the Shushan Sect's always tough character, there is a high probability that the Shushan Sect will not admit their mistakes, so that he can
To instigate and intensify the conflicts between various sects and the Shushan sect. Anyway, no matter how tyrannical the Shushan sect is, it is impossible for the Shushan sect to take the risk of truly offending all the sects and fall out on the spot. In this way, Tianshi Tao can take this opportunity to greatly damage the prestige of the Shushan sect and let this group
The tyrannical neighbor suffered a miserable loss. As for the secret intrigues and intrigues between the two factions in the future, wouldn't it be possible that there would be less scheming and scheming on weekdays?
In that case, Xiang Tiannan only had two choices. One was to act like he was angered by Li Xuanji's provocation and walk away to avoid the embarrassment in person. However, it would cause other sects to be dissatisfied with the Shushan sect afterwards and intensify the conflict.
Second, lower your posture and admit your mistakes, apologize to others and restore your own image. The advantage of this is that it can defeat Li Xuanji's conspiracy and get rid of the label of "selfish without regard to the overall situation" and win the understanding of various factions. But the disadvantage is that
It will frustrate the Shushan Sect's long-standing vigor and make the Shushan Sect who "made mistakes" virtually lose some profits in the following conversation. Moreover, the frustration of the vigor may have a certain impact on Xiang Tiannan's personal cultivation level.
Impact.
When they have reached this level of cultivation, every word and deed is secretly consistent with the inner Tao. If words and deeds are inconsistent and go against the original intention, it will lead to a conflict between one's own "action" and "Tao". Occasionally once or twice, it is okay, but if the number is
Too much will make the realm unstable and even evoke inner demons, and it is not impossible to become obsessed.
In short, no matter which method Xiang Tiannan chooses, he will suffer losses. The only difference is the size of the loss and the party who bears it. Whether he chooses to maintain his own spirit and cultivation and let the entire sect bear the loss; or whether he chooses to sacrifice his own interests to bear the loss for the sect.
This loss? These two choices are enough for ordinary people to bear huge pressure. They are also choices that test the Taoist heart.
As the initiator, Li Xuanji naturally hopes that Xiang Tiannan will be the first to choose to protect the interests of his own sacrificial sect. This is because it is in the best interest of Tianshi Dao. There are many masters of the Shushan sect, even if Xiang Tiannan is missing, there will be no big impact.
The biggest loss is that he is still one of the two leaders of the righteous path who is respected by all sects; but if the Shushan sect loses its prestige as a result, the leader's position and momentum will be greatly reduced, and the threat to Tianshi Dao will be greatly reduced.
Just a single oversight will be caught, and you will have to suffer losses if you are unable to advance or retreat; the intrigues and conspiracy calculations between the top leaders of the sect can be seen from this.
However, after all, Xiang Tiannan is not an idle person, and he chose to admit his mistakes and apologize to everyone without much thought. Xiang Tiannan's wisdom and heart are indeed extraordinary. Among the two options, he chose to sacrifice himself to protect himself without hesitation.
The choice of the sect was worthy of his status as the leader. Even Li Xuanji secretly admired such a decision while feeling regretful that the calculation had not been fully successful.
Naturally, Xiang Tiannan had his own considerations in making such a decision. In addition to his sense of responsibility as the leader to safeguard the interests of the sect and be responsible for his own words and deeds, Xiang Tiannan also wanted to take this opportunity to hone his Taoist heart. After all, it was extremely difficult for Xiang Tiannan to make such a decision.
The combination of hardness and softness is the long-term way. If you are blindly tough and domineering, you will eventually encounter obstacles that will affect your practice. He has already understood the principle of transformation between hardness and softness when he has practiced to this point.
Just understanding is one thing and how to do it is another matter. Swordsmanship is about bending rather than bending. It is domineering and overbearing. In battle, only the upright way of facing difficulties and moving forward can bring out the greatest power of swordsmanship. Now it is
In troubled times, force is the foundation of one's life. Naturally, it cannot be changed easily, otherwise it will endanger one's life. Besides, the Shushan sect's cultivation techniques have been summarized by countless predecessors. How can the essence that has been tempered and tempered be so easy to change? Therefore, unless there is a unique opportunity, otherwise
It is impossible to understand the way of hardness and softness in terms of exercises.
But his cultivation has also reached a critical point. If he can fully understand the transformation between hardness and softness, he will be able to further his Taoism and become a god.
Since the cultivation method cannot be changed, the only way to make a breakthrough is from the state of mind. Cultivation means cultivating the mind. Changes in the Taoist heart will also be obviously reflected in the external practice. If he can take the lead in making a breakthrough in the Taoist heart, it is very likely that he will follow suit.
Achieve a breakthrough in understanding the way of hardness and softness.
Since you want to make changes in your Taoist heart, you must start by changing your style and attitude. In the past, he was as hard as a sword and would rather break than bend. This time, you must change your style and become tactful and soft, and learn to compromise! It is better to choose another day than to hit it this time.
The mistake might have been an opportunity that came down from the sky for him to take the opportunity to change! This is what Xiang Tiannan thinks. Since the most important opportunity for a cultivator has already determined that this is his own opportunity, he must seize it.
So he admitted his mistake and surprised everyone.
Sure enough, after speaking from the bottom of his heart, Xiang Tiannan felt that a force suddenly emerged from the depths of his Taoist heart. The nature of this force was as soft and soft as water, and as tough as silk. The originally hard and sharp Taoist heart
After fusing this power, he actually gained a sense of flexibility; even the mighty and powerful sword cultivation power in his body also gained a bit of resilience. Of course, since this strange power has just appeared, the amount is far from being comparable to his.
The changes brought about by practicing Kendo Daoxin for hundreds of years were minimal compared to this. But this gratifying change made him very happy.
Xiang Tiannan understands that this situation indicates that his idea is correct. The change in Taoist heart's hardness and softness can indeed have an effect on the body! The joy of this harvest even offsets the low mood associated with admitting his mistakes.
The smallness of his face has become much more real.
Naturally, others didn't know that Xiang Tiannan's body and mind had undergone such great changes in such a short period of time. After seeing Xiang Tiannan's "sincere" smile, their dissatisfaction with the Shushan Sect disappeared and they also felt aroused.
I sighed: The world has really changed. Even the hard-nosed Shushan sect has begun to learn to be so smooth. Look at that kind of smile that seems to come from the heart. It is more real than real gold. It is hypocritical. Hypocritical.
Now that the conflict between Li Xuanji and Xiang Tiannan has disappeared, the discussion will naturally continue. The leader of the Kunlun Sect, the handsome Mingyu Master, coughed lightly and said: "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's start discussing some things."
How to deal with the next changes? The Black Witch Cult has been overseas for thousands of years. No one knows how powerful the sect is. Why did they follow the evil path as soon as they came back? The hidden secrets are also very fascinating. And now I am on the right path.
Various factions launched a large-scale attack and destroyed most of the demon lairs in China. Except for a very few, most of the demons have been decapitated. The demon atmosphere has become one of the clearings. In the short term, there is no need to worry. The next step is to support the recovery of mortals.
Order and production are also a big project problem. It has many problems and is of great significance. It requires everyone's efforts."
In fact, Mingyu, who is actually being challenged by the Shushan Sect and represents the Kunlun Sect, really hopes that the Shushan Sect can cause public outrage and cause a big somersault, which will also be very beneficial to the Kunlun Sect. But Xiang Tiannan has no choice but to know why today.
He actually had a change of gender and admitted his mistake so simply, which made him feel unbelievable. But the fact was right in front of him and he didn't want to believe it. Kunlun, as the nominal leader of the cultivation world, Mingyu Zhenren was also the recommended chairperson of the discussions of each faction.
People naturally want to be impartial, strict and fair, so it was inconvenient for him to suppress Shushan, so he could only raise a few important issues and get down to business first.
It is really puzzling why the Black Witch Cult returned to the mainland at this delicate moment and started a war with the devil. Because in the eyes of these decent people, the Black Witch Cult, which is cruel and evil and has a barbaric style, is undoubtedly equivalent to today's devil.
One type of "evil heretics" is a recognized evil force, otherwise it would not have been expelled by the various sects. And today's demons are naturally attributed to evil forces. Logically speaking, they are both evil forces and belong to the "evil forces".
If the demonic and demonic factions are considered enemies, it is only reasonable that they should cooperate with each other and target the righteous factions.
But the fact is obviously not in line with common sense. The black witch sect and the devil who originally had a "common enemy" actually started fighting first. Although each sect breathed a sigh of relief, it also caused deep doubts. I believe that if you can't figure out what's going on,
The reason is like placing a time bomb around you that you don't know the set time. I'm afraid no one will feel at ease.
As for the reconstruction of the human world, although it is trivial, as Master Mingyu said, this is an opportunity to gain great merit. No one can have too much merit. How to distribute this piece of fat to satisfy everyone will indeed take a lot of effort.
Thoughts. The leaders were arguing with each other on this issue.
But no one is aware of what kind of trouble the demonic force that they thought was going to be in the sunset and has no threat in the short term will become!
