The Taoist Saint looked at Linze Zhuangzhou calmly and said calmly: "The matter of reviving the Jianmu Sacred Tree will be left to your two brothers. I hope to see results within ten years. You two can
Is there anything you still don’t understand?”
When Zhuang Zhou heard this, he looked hesitant on his face and stopped talking.
Lin Ze cupped his hands and replied: "Reporting to the teacher, the two disciples have been instructed by the teacher. They already know what to do, but after all, they have never experienced it personally. As the saying goes, what you learn on paper will always be shallow, so you must proceed step by step."
"If you encounter difficult problems or indecisions during the process, you have to ask the teacher for guidance."
The Taoist Saint waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. I am practicing Taoism in the back mountain. If you two encounter difficulties, you can come to me at any time."
Lin Ze bowed his hands again and said, "Disciple, I have no doubts for the time being."
Zhuang Zhou suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Disciple, I secretly believe that this matter cannot be completed overnight. Regarding the time limit, can the teacher be more generous? Ten years seems to be a long time, but in fact it goes by in a blink of an eye."
The Taoist sage glanced at Zhuang Zhou coldly: "The ten-year period mentioned by my teacher is not the time for completing this matter, but the period for seeing the effects of recovery. It cannot be changed easily."
"If you feel that it is difficult to complete the task because you are single and weak, my teacher can assign more people to you."
After speaking, Dao Sheng grabbed the void ahead, and two figures appeared out of thin air and fell in front of Lin Ze Zhuangzhou.
Hui Shi stabilized his body and was stunned for a moment. Then when he saw Taoist Saint, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Disciple Hui Shi pays homage to the teacher. I wonder what the teacher's instructions are for calling the disciples here?"
Another person bowed to Dao Sheng Zhuang Zhou Linze respectively: "Disciple Jiang Yuesheng, pay homage to Dao Sheng Patriarch Zhuang Zhou and Patriarch Lin Ze."
Dao Sheng waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, I have called you here today and I have something to arrange for you to do."
Hui Shi and Jiang Yuesheng said in unison: "Please give me your instructions, Teacher (Grandmaster)."
The Taoist Saint pointed at Lin Zezhuang and Zhou Zhou and said, "I have handed over the matter to them. You two will communicate with them about the specific things to be done, and I will not interfere."
"Of course, if you two think that their progress is slow or that they are cheating, please report it to me immediately."
Hui Shi and Jiang Yuesheng responded in unison: "Disciple, I obey."
When Lin Ze saw this scene, his expression was slightly complicated. Did the Taoist Saint feel a little uneasy, so he planted two bright nails?
But can a third-level celestial being, a master-level person, be able to monitor the saint-level person? Does the Taoist sage have backup plans for them?
Or maybe Taoist Saint has other methods and this is just a warning?
For some reason, Lin Ze, who took advantage of the situation and sacrificed his destiny to obtain the opportunity to be promoted to the saint realm, felt guilty for a while.
This is probably the so-called guilty conscience. After all, if there is a chance, Lin Ze has no reason to let go of the opportunity to transcend the realm.
Zhuang Zhou blushed and said, "This can only be accomplished by adding one or two more people."
The Taoist sage's face suddenly darkened, and he scolded: "Zhuang Zhou, if you feel that your wings are stiff and you don't want to do things for me, you can just say so. If you push back or hold back, you will only make people angry."
"My master asked the two of them to come here mainly to facilitate the mobilization of Dao Palace disciples to help. One or two people are not enough, but tens of thousands of Dao Palace disciples are enough?"
Zhuang Zhou immediately followed his heart and said quickly: "Teacher, calm down, I have no reluctance. I hope the teacher will learn from it. If there are tens of thousands of disciples in the Dao Palace to help, it will be enough."
Tao Sheng said coldly: "Then shut up."
Zhuang Zhou followed his kindness and kept silent, and the atmosphere in the room fell into a dull mood for a while.
Upon seeing this, Lin Ze said in order to ease the dull atmosphere: "Without further ado, the disciples and others will not disturb the teacher here. We will go back to discuss the details and take action as soon as possible. We are now ready to say goodbye to the teacher."
The Taoist Saint gave Zhuang Zhou a cold look: "Learn more from your junior brother."
A look of embarrassment flashed across Zhuang Zhou's face, and he bowed and said, "Disciple, I obey."
Dao Sheng ignored him, turned to Lin Ze, and said with a gentle expression: "Go, I will wait for your good news as a master."
Lin Ze bowed and said, "Farewell, my disciple."
After saying that, Lin Ze held Hui Shi in one hand and Jiang Yuesheng in the other, took off on the wind, and disappeared in front of the Taoist Saint.
Zhuang Zhou hurriedly bowed and left behind Lin Ze.
…
After a while, the four of them appeared in Lin Ze's study in the Xi Qin Palace in Chang'an.
Lin Ze pointed to the chair in the study and said calmly: "Sit down wherever you want, and let's discuss how to proceed."
Zhuang Zhou found a chair and sat down. He sighed slightly and said, "According to the method taught by the teacher, there are two steps. First, arrange for people to collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures. The more the better."
"Second, build an altar as soon as possible, plant the fragments of the sacred tree, and call on the people to worship, thereby gathering the power of faith."
"These two things are easier to accomplish with the help of the secular dynasty, so I have to hold a court meeting and inform the world."
Lin Ze thought for a while and said: "What senior brother said is reasonable, but there are two problems. First, even if junior brother mobilizes the entire Western Qin Dynasty to collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it will be a drop in the bucket in terms of supporting the sacred tree."
"Secondly, where should the altar be built? Even if it is built in Chang'an, most of the people who can come to worship are the people who have settled in Guanzhong, and it will be difficult to mobilize the people of the world."
"With the constraints of these two factors, it may be difficult to meet the teacher's expectations within ten years."
Zhuang Zhou frowned slightly, then relaxed, and asked with a smile: "Since junior brother raised these two points, I think there must be a way to deal with them. Junior brother can propose them for detailed reference."
Lin Ze looked calm and said: "Southern Xinjiang Buddhism and Guandong Confucianism have numerous disciples, many of whom are middle-grade or above warriors. Whether they are used to find treasures from heaven and earth, or as humanoid tools to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they are all excellent ones."
select."
"In addition, overseas Taoist sects are located in rich overseas lands, and produce a large amount of heavenly and earthly treasures every year with good quality. If we don't take them, we will really be unworthy of this gift from heaven and earth."
"In addition, martial arts masters from the three religions of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism account for almost 90% of the world. If you can become a believer in Jianmu Sacred Tree, the power of faith you can provide will definitely be more than a few."
"Junior brother even feels that more than four hundred heavenly beings can also be used. Everything is done with the great cause of the teacher as the top priority."
These words clearly revealed the essential difference between Lin Ze and Zhuang Zhou.
Zhuang Zhou's thoughts were all about working hard for himself, while Lin Ze's thoughts were all about squeezing others.
Zhuang Zhou thought for a moment, then said with a hesitant look on his face: "In this case, wouldn't the construction of the sacred tree be made public to the world?"
Lin Ze chuckled and said: "Even if we only use the power of Western Qin, can we hide it from those who are interested?"
Zhuang Zhou's face softened slightly: "That's true, but in this way, you and I seem to have offended all three religions, Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, except the Taoist palace itself."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "As the saying goes, all saints are ants, so why should senior brother care about what ants think? It is important to complete the tasks assigned by the teacher."
Zhuang Zhou: "What should we do if the disciples of the three religions are in conflict?"
Lin Ze said with a smile: "This requires senior brothers to come to "persuad" one by one. Junior brothers believe that senior brothers have this eloquence. After all, for most people, everything in this world, except life and death, is a trivial matter."
Zhuang Sheng looked strange and said: "Junior brother, are you sure this is persuasion?"
Lin Ze said calmly: "Of course, if someone is extremely resistant and uncooperative, I suggest that you use some means."
"For example, physical transcendence."
Zhuang Zhou...
Seeing that Zhuang Zhou was hesitant, Lin Ze added casually: "Junior brother makes a bold guess. I don't think senior brother wants to see the teacher come down the mountain and scold you and me bloody to show our incompetence, right?"
The picture of the Taoist sage's rage naturally appeared in Zhuang Zhou's mind, and then his face changed slightly.
Then Youyuan glanced at Lin Ze, if you hadn't snatched the teacher's predetermined destiny, would the teacher have changed from an aloof and accomplished person to a moody little old man?
Then he accepted his fate and said: "Then as my junior brother said, I will go to the Buddhist Confucian and overseas schools to persuade them to cooperate."
Lin Ze smiled and said: "Senior brother, if you take action, your dreams will come true. Junior brother is waiting for your good news in Chang'an."
Zhuang Zhou coughed lightly and said, "Why don't you come with me, junior brother? In terms of coercion, bribery, inducement and other means, senior brother is not one-tenth as good as junior brother. If junior brother can come forward, you can get twice the result with half the effort."
Lin Ze was slightly speechless, are you praising me or ridiculing me? Buddha, Confucianism, Sage Tongtian Sword Master has offended me many times, you can't let me do this offending job alone, right?
So Lin Zeyi said righteously: "Junior brother, I don't mind going with him, but senior brother has just said that he has to build an altar and mobilize the entire Western Qin Dynasty to collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Junior brother really can't get away from it."
"The task period given by the teacher is really not long. You and I should use all available means."
