Lin Ze stepped into the house, and suddenly Zhuang Zhou's strange words rang in his ears: "Offering three years of resources in exchange for four opportunities, Master Tongtian would actually agree to such an unreasonable deal?"
Lin Ze walked to the stone table in the courtyard, sat down leisurely, and said nonchalantly: "As the saying goes, rare things are the most valuable. There is only one family in the world, and there is no other. It is natural to sell them more expensively."
Zhuang Zhou thought for a moment and said, "That being said, Master Tongtian is a senior in the Taoist sect after all. Can Junior Brother be more lenient?"
Lin Ze pursed his lips, nodded and said: "Okay, senior brother, I will choose one in eleven fertilization opportunities. There will be about thirty times in a year. Why not share some of the fertilizer with Biyou Palace?"
"Ahem"
Zhuang Zhou coughed lightly: "Cultivation mainly relies on personal efforts, and relying on heaven's rewards to improve one's cultivation is such a counterproductive behavior that it is not worth advocating."
Not to mention that Zhuang Zhou just said it casually and didn't have much intention to stand up for Biyou Palace. It was impossible for him to sacrifice his own interests to help others.
Besides, even if Zhuang Zhou was willing to help others, why would he leave the opportunity to Biyou Palace, who often challenged the status of Taoist Saint, and leave it to the disciples of Dao Palace?
It has to be said that Zhuang Zhou's attitude was in line with Lin Ze's wishes. He did not dwell on the matter, but smiled and said, "What senior brother said makes sense."
Zhuang Zhou did not respond, and the atmosphere fell into silence.
After a while, Lin Ze suddenly said: "By the way, junior brother, I would like to remind you that the Confucian sage gave the book of all peoples, and the master of the Tongtian sword gave the refined spiritual objects that can be used to grow the sacred tree. The essence is to seek rewards from heaven.
."
"However, junior brother has a strong temper and is unwilling to give his opportunity to the two of them. Since the two of them have tried and failed to seize the opportunity many times, I am afraid that they are unwilling to accept it and have other plans. Senior brother will take care of the Jianmu Sacred Tree, so we need to do more.
pay attention to."
"Junior brother, I don't want to wake up one day and find that this sacred Jianmu tree, which is more than 700 feet high, has been uprooted and moved to another place."
Half a month ago, Lin Ze threatened to kill everyone, and with the Taoist tacit consent, he gave up the ulterior motives of the Confucian sage and the Tongtian Sword Master.
Lin Ze thought he could be clean for a while, but he didn't expect that just half a month later, these two old yinbi were unwilling to be lonely. The hard one didn't work, so they replaced it with a soft one.
Although Lin Ze used almost brutal methods to defeat the Confucian Sage's plan today and tricked the Tongtian Sword Master, he knew that these two people would never give up.
This time, the two of them failed, and when they turned around and thought about it, they might come up with some bad idea.
After all, the Confucian Sage and the Tongtian Sword Master dared to snatch the Taoist Sage's opportunity to transcend the realm. There was no reason to let Lin Ze go and not snatch the generous heavenly reward from him.
In order to keep the meat in his pot, Lin Ze had to remind Zhuang Zhou that after all, he was the one who guarded the Jianmu Sacred Tree day and night, and he was also the best and last line of defense.
After hearing this, Zhuang Zhou thought for a moment and said solemnly: "What my junior brother said is not unreasonable. The rewards given by heaven also have a beneficial effect on the realm of saints. They are very rare. If the Confucian sage and Master Tongtian know this, they will definitely try their best to fight for it."
"Junior brother, please rest assured. Even if Confucian Sage and Master Tongtian join forces to come, I will block them with my own strength and guarantee that no accident will occur to Jianmu Sacred Tree."
Regarding Zhuang Zhou's guarantee, Lin Ze just smiled. The Confucian sage and the Tongtian Sword Master reached an agreement with the Taoist sage. In order to escape from the realm, the possibility of turning their sides was extremely slim.
What we really need to worry about is that these two people will play dirty tricks.
Lin Ze actually didn't expect Zhuang Zhou to be able to stop the combined efforts of the Confucian Sage and the Tongtian Sword Master on his own.
Let alone Zhuang Zhou, even if he joins forces with Zhuang Zhou, it is hard to say whether he can defeat the Confucian Sage and the Tongtian Sword Master.
Lin Ze's real confidence came from the Taoist Sage. With the Taoist Sage's character of making every plan, since he dared to plant trees blatantly, he must have been prepared to cause trouble for the Confucian Sage and Tongtian Sword Master.
The reason why I specifically reminded Zhuang Zhou was that I hope he can treat this matter with caution and discover the little moves of the Confucian Sage and Tongtian Sword Master in time.
As long as Zhuang Zhou discovers it in time and blocks the two of them for a while, with the buffer period, Lin Ze and Dao Sheng can arrive in an instant, and the situation will change from one against two to three against two.
Only in this way can we ensure that the heavenly rewards will not be taken away.
Seeing that the purpose of reminding Zhuang Zhou was achieved, Lin Ze could not guard the Jianmu Sacred Tree like him day and night, so he said goodbye: "Senior Brother, just know what you are doing. Junior Brother, I won't disturb Senior Brother. Take my leave."
After saying that, he took advantage of the wind and left.
…
Outside Yongle Hall, just as Lin Ze was about to step inside, a warning sign suddenly appeared, his hair stood on end, and there was a faint sense of danger lingering in his heart.
Lin Ze immediately stopped and prepared his destiny-defying magical power. He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Uninvited guests come to the house and break into the room. It is tantamount to a bandit. I am afraid it will be unworthy of the strong man."
Today is not the right day. First, the disciples of the Confucian Sage Sect sent the Book of Ten Thousand People, and then the Master of Tongtian Sword wanted to use the refined spiritual object in exchange for opportunities.
When he returned to the palace, someone was hiding in Yongle Hall waiting for him.
"Huh"
A voice of surprise sounded out of thin air in the hall: "The poor monk obviously showed no malice or even the slightest breath, but His Majesty was able to sense the existence of the poor monk."
Poor monk? Wait, this voice seems a little familiar.
Lin Ze thought for a moment and suddenly had the answer in his mind. He asked without changing his expression: "I wonder whether I should call you Master Xuantang, Lord Jinchan Buddha, or Buddha? Or should I call you none of the three?"
The people lurking in Yongle Hall were surprised: "You can actually guess the identity of the poor monk?"
Lin Ze chuckled lightly and did not respond.
The people in the hall continued: "The poor monk is both Xuantang and Jinchanzi. As long as the Emperor likes, he can be called whatever he likes. But can the Emperor come in and talk?"
Lin Ze smiled and strode into the palace. As if he was in a deserted place, he walked up the steps and sat on the dragon chair. Fang said calmly, "I wonder what Master Xuantang wants to talk to me about?"
"Clang"
The palace door suddenly closed tightly, and a white figure gradually appeared in the hall.
Xuantang, wearing a moon-white monk's robe, stood in the center of the hall with his hands clasped together.
"Amitabha, the Emperor is very courageous. Aren't you afraid that the poor monk may have an ambush in the main hall?"
Lin Ze leaned on the dragon chair and replied without comment: "Haha, ambush? I am in my own home, why do I need to worry about being ambushed by others? It is simply a joke. Not to mention this is in the palace, as long as it is in Chang'an City, I will never
I am the only one who ambush others."
"Master Xuantang, if you don't believe it, you can give it a try."
Xuantang laughed and said: "Since the Human Emperor has such confidence, how can this poor monk not believe it?"
Lin Ze frowned slightly and changed the topic: "Master Xuantang took the risk to come to me, but it's not just to fight with me, right? I wonder what you are doing here?"
Xuantang suppressed his smile and had a stern look on his face: "Human Emperor, don't be impatient. Before we get down to business, I still have some doubts. I hope that Human Emperor will not hesitate to answer them."
