Zhuang Zhou intervened at the right time and said: "What my junior brother said is absolutely true. My brothers and I are not as good as the teacher in any way, so I ask the teacher to give you guidance and arrange things."
The Taoist sage said slowly: "The method of resuscitation that Zhuang Zhou deduced based on ancient records is true and effective, and is no different from what the teacher knows."
"The question raised by Lin Ze is also reasonable, because the resurrection of the Jianmu Divine Tree is not just a resurrection. To be precise, the resurrection only resurrects the body of the Jianmu Divine Tree, but it cannot resurrect the soul of the Jianmu Divine Tree."
"The Jianmu Sacred Tree without a soul is at most a treasure of heaven and earth, but it cannot be a part of heaven and earth to reach the heavens or even the Nine Netherlands. I have been studying it for tens of thousands of years, and I happen to know how to activate the Jianmu Sacred Tree.
soul."
"If you want to activate the soul of the Jianmu Divine Tree, you must first resurrect the body of the Jianmu Divine Tree. Before the body of the Jianmu Divine Tree is revived, I don't plan to tell you how to activate the soul. I will tell you later when the body is resurrected.
, do you two have any objections?"
Lin Zezhuang and Zhou Zhou replied in unison: "Disciples have no objections and will obey the teacher's arrangements in everything."
"I hope so," the Taoist Saint replied indifferently. He took out an ordinary-looking log about a foot long and two fingers in diameter from his sleeve and said, "Here are the fragments of the Jianmu Sacred Tree.
The next task for the two of them is to revive it in the shortest possible time."
Lin Ze carefully looked at the fragments of the "Jianmu Sacred Tree" that the Taoist Saint took out, with a very strange look on his face, and secretly complained: Is this a fragment of the Jianmu Sacred Tree? Why does it look like a fire stick used by ordinary people?
If this was not brought out by Taoist Saint, Lin Ze would not believe it.
Zhuang Zhou took the fragments of the Jianmu Sacred Tree from the hands of the Taoist sage with both hands, and said slightly embarrassed: "My disciple is stupid and doesn't know where to start. Please tell me from the teacher."
The Taoist Saint narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a calm tone: "Reviving the Jianmu Sacred Tree, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the belief in living beings are indispensable, do you know it?"
Zhuang Zhou nodded hurriedly: "Clear."
The Taoist Saint looked at him calmly, as if to say, don't you know everything? Why are you still asking?
Zhuang Zhou immediately understood the divine guidance and explained: "My disciples feel that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scattered between heaven and earth, and there is no trace to be found. If you only collect a little, it will naturally not be a problem. However, if you want to support the growth of the Jianmu sacred tree, you must have a huge amount."
"
"Even if I exhaust the efforts of both my disciple and my junior brother, I don't know how many thousands of years it will take to meet the demand for building wood. The hard work of the two disciples is not worth mentioning. They are afraid that they will miss the teacher's business, which is an unforgivable sin."
"In addition, the belief in creatures is difficult to identify and measure, and it is extremely difficult to collect, and it is not under the control of the two disciples. It is not for the disciple to shirk it, but the disciple is really worried about living up to the teacher's expectations."
Seeing that Zhuang Zhou was getting more and more excited as he spoke, Tao Sheng waved his hand and said, "Don't say it anymore. It's my fault that I didn't expect that you have become stubborn and don't want to change."
"You two alone collect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Not to mention tens of thousands of years, not to mention a hundred thousand years, you may not be able to build a sacred tree and grow much taller. But why did you miss one thing, the heaven and earth materials that are made of gathered spiritual energy exist in the world.
precious?"
"The world is so vast, with countless caves, heavens and blessed places, dangerous mountains and rivers, and a dazzling array of natural materials and treasures. Wouldn't it be just right to use it to cultivate the sacred tree of construction?"
"If that's not enough, all middle-grade warriors in the world can draw spiritual energy from the void space of heaven and earth. Why do you two have to gather spiritual energy to support the sacred tree of construction? Can't you control them?"
Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but frown when he heard the two solutions given by the Taoist Sage easily and casually. He felt a little uncomfortable and advised: "Although the method given by the teacher is effective, it is not in line with the natural way that the Taoist sect advocates."
"It should be noted that all things have spirits. Those who can become treasures from heaven and earth are mostly blessed by heaven and earth. They are full of spirituality. It is normal to occasionally collect some to benefit oneself."
"But if you want to support the growth of the Jianmu Sacred Tree, you have to carry out extensive searches. In this way, it is very easy to cause a large number of natural materials and earthly treasures to disappear, and even cause dissatisfaction with Heaven."
"My disciples secretly believe that what seems like a shortcut is actually an unwise move."
"The two behaviors of allowing middle-grade warriors to draw spiritual energy from the void to support the sacred tree are more like the methods of evil demons and heretics, and are incompatible with Taoism."
"Disciple, I hope the teacher will think twice."
After hearing this, the Taoist sage's face changed instantly, and he laughed angrily: "Zhuang Zhou, now that your wings are hardened, you have learned to disobey and become a teacher? It is in vain that the teacher trusts you so much and entrusts you with such important matters.
, but you resisted and refused to do your best."
"Okay, very good. I finally see your true face today. I was really blind when I accepted you, a white-eyed wolf like you."
Zhuang Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly defended: "This is not what I meant, I just have a sincere heart..."
I saw the Taoist Saint step forward and snatch the fragment of the Jianmu Sacred Tree from Zhuang Zhou's hand, and shouted angrily: "Shut up, there is no need to say anything high-sounding. Without you Zhuang Zhou, I can still accomplish this as a teacher."
You don’t need to worry."
Zhuang Zhou looked gloomy and stood aside without daring to speak.
I saw the Taoist Saint looking at Lin Ze with cold eyes: "Zhuang Zhou doesn't dare, do you dare?"
Just as Lin Ze was about to answer, he felt the air around him suddenly squeezing in, making him feel very viscous and making him breathless.
Lin Ze subconsciously raised his head and looked into Taoist Saint's deep eyes. Deep in his eyes, a ray of cold light flickered like lightning, making people feel very dangerous.
Combining the Taoist Sage's attitude towards Zhuang Zhou and the fact that he had just sacrificed the destiny that the Taoist Sage regarded as his treasure not long ago, Lin Ze had no doubt that as long as he dared to say half a word "no", the Taoist Sage would ignore it.
Make every move to kill him.
So Lin Ze pretended to think about it and replied very frankly: "The teacher's idea is reasonable and reasonable, how can the disciple not dare to do it?"
"Teacher Cai just taught you how to gather a large amount of spiritual energy. Why not take this opportunity to teach you how to collect the faith of living beings."
Taoist Sage's face softened a little, and his tone was calm: "After accepting four disciples, I finally have one who is willing to listen to my teacher, which can be considered a comfort."
"It is very simple to collect the faith of living beings. You only need to let the living beings worship the Jianmu Sacred Tree. Whether it is true or false, as long as more people worship it, the power of faith can be generated."
"Having said that, whether it is searching for treasures from heaven and earth as supplies for the Jianmu Divine Tree, or arranging for mid-level warriors to assist the Jianmu Divine Tree in absorbing spiritual energy, or allowing more people to worship the Jianmu Divine Tree, as you,
The emperor of Western Qin, the lord of the world, is far better at what he does than Zhuang Zhou."
"It seems I have to count on you as my teacher."
Lin Ze's expression was solemn, he bowed and said, "It's a dream for a disciple to be able to serve my teacher."
But he laughed in his heart: If you say you didn't consider this before, I won't believe it to death.
The Taoist Saint was very satisfied with Lin Ze's attitude. He took Lin Ze's hand, put the fragment of the Jianmu Sacred Tree in his hand, and told him: "Whether this plan can work or not depends on you. I hope you won't
it disappointed me."
Lin Ze glanced at the gloomy Zhuang Zhou, with thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind, and suddenly said: "Teacher, I have an unkind request, and I hope the teacher will agree."
The Taoist Saint said calmly: "Tell me and listen?"
Lin Ze coughed slightly and said: "The revival of the Jianmu Sacred Tree is of great importance. I am afraid that I will be weak on my own, so I would like to ask the teacher to let Senior Brother Zhuang Zhou help me."
"As the saying goes, one person can plan shortcomings, and two people can plan longings. With senior brother taking care of you, you may be able to push forward faster."
The Taoist sage looked at Zhuang Zhou with an indifferent expression and said, "Are you sure he can help you instead of holding you back and making you do twice the result with half the effort?"
Lin Ze gritted his teeth and said: "Disciple believes in Senior Brother Zhuang Zhou, and I also ask the teacher to believe in this disciple and Senior Brother Zhuang Zhou. If there is any discrepancy, I am willing to bear the responsibility. That is the choice made by the disciple."
The Taoist Saint nodded slightly, without paying much attention to what Lin Ze said. He looked at Zhuang Zhou and asked, "Are you willing to help your junior brother complete this matter?"
Lin Ze immediately winked at Zhuang Zhou, signaling him to agree as soon as possible.
Zhuang Zhou hesitated for a moment, sighed secretly, lowered his head and said, "My disciple is willing."
The Taoist Saint turned around and said to Lin Ze: "Then let him come with you."
