In the early morning of the next day, Lin Ze and Jiang Yuesheng rushed to the house outside the city, pushed the door open, and suddenly found Zhuang Zhou Huishi sitting across from each other in the courtyard.
Lin Ze's face immediately darkened, and he turned around and left with Jiang Yuesheng.
When Zhuang Zhou saw this, he became anxious and said quickly: "Junior brother, wait a moment."
Lin Ze stopped and asked calmly: "What are your orders, senior brother?"
Zhuang Zhou smiled bitterly and said: "We are all brothers in the same school, how can there be any unsolvable knot? You can just let go of the misunderstanding between you and Hui Shi, why bother worrying about it?"
Lin Ze shook his head and denied it directly: "Misunderstanding? Senior brother must have made a mistake. There is no misunderstanding between junior brother and him."
Zhuang Zhou looked helpless: "Since there is no misunderstanding, why did Junior Brother turn around and leave?"
Lin Ze said calmly: "Although there is no misunderstanding, junior brother does not want to see him. If senior brother cares about junior brother's feelings, please do not let him appear here, lest everyone be unhappy."
Zhuang Zhou felt his head was as big as a bucket, and when he was thinking about how to persuade him, Hui Shi, who was so angry by Lin Ze's words, couldn't help but interjected: "It's the teacher's intention to let me come here, Lin Ze, how dare you
Disobeying the teacher?"
A sarcastic look appeared on Lin Ze's face, and he sneered: "How dare I disobey the teacher? If you want to stay here, feel free to do whatever you want, but at worst, I won't come here from now on."
"Junior brother has something to do. If you have no other instructions, junior brother, I will take my leave for now."
Zhuang Zhou was not willing to let Lin Ze go so easily. He glared at Hui Shi fiercely and told him to shut up and stop talking. He stopped him and said, "Junior brother, wait a minute. Not only did you not suffer in this matter, you taught Hui Shi a lesson."
, why can’t you let it go?”
Lin Ze turned around, looked directly into Zhuang Zhou's eyes, and said with an indifferent expression: "Let go? Senior brother, can you clarify one thing? Who is unwilling to let go?"
"Perhaps Senior Brother should ask clearly who is making trouble unreasonably and paranoid that Junior Brother has robbed him of the opportunity to advance to the Saint Realm?"
"As the saying goes, blocking someone's path is like killing one's parents. This hatred is irreconcilable. If someone cannot understand this, his hatred for his junior brother will never disappear."
"If you just think about it in your mind, that's all. I'm afraid someone might be tempted to have some evil thoughts. Senior brother should know very well that junior brother is not the kind of honest person who just sits back and waits to be bullied."
"Once junior brother feels that he is threatened, he may be tempted to strike first and eliminate the root cause to avoid future troubles. Junior brother cannot guarantee what will happen then."
"Senior brother, it's time to advise some people. Don't just sit in a well and look at the sky and be self-righteous. There are many people in the world that he can't afford to offend. The teacher can protect him for a while, but he can't protect him for the rest of his life."
After Lin Ze said this, he ignored Zhuang Zhou, who was speechless, and Hui Shi, who was angry but dared not speak, and strode out.
Jiang Yuesheng, who was following Lin Ze, glanced back and forth before decisively leaving with Lin Ze.
After all, this Patriarch promised to help him advance to the third realm of heaven. As for the other Patriarchs, apart from having higher seniority, what use are they?
Lin Ze stopped all the way to the Jianmu Sacred Tree, pointed to a carriage and said to Jiang Yuesheng who was following behind him: "Go and bury the contents of the carriage under the roots of the tree, and then bow three times to the Jianmu Sacred Tree.
, and then sit in front of the tree and contemplate the truth."
Jiang Yuesheng was overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that his opportunity had come, and he quickly responded loudly: "No."
After saying that, he trotted all the way to carry the treasures from the carriage to the tree, dug a big hole and buried them all, bowed respectfully three times, and sat cross-legged facing the tree trunk.
During the whole process, Jiang Yuesheng didn't dare to slack off at all, for fear that the opportunity would fly away.
Not long after, a ray of bright light fell on Jiang Yuesheng's face through the layers of covered leaves.
The meditation picture in Jiang Yuesheng's mind changed accordingly, and countless fragmented insights about the great road poured into his mind.
After a long time, Jiang Yuesheng woke up from his enlightenment, with uncontrollable joy on his face. He bowed deeply to Lin Ze and said, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, I am just fulfilling the agreement I made with you that day."
Jiang Yuesheng said righteously: "The words of the Patriarch are wrong. The agreement between the disciple and the Patriarch was completely unequal. If not for the kindness and intentional support of the Patriarch, how would the disciple be today?"
"As a person, you must never forget your roots. Disciples will always remember the great kindness and kindness of their ancestors."
Lin Ze was too lazy to dwell on it and changed the subject: "How do you feel about receiving a reward from heaven for the first time?"
Jiang Yuesheng was full of joy and said: "Disciple feels very good. If it can continue, within three months, he will definitely be promoted to the realm of heaven and humanity."
Lin Ze frowned slightly and continued to advance to the Heavenly Realm for three months. This seemed a bit inefficient.
"Are there any fragments of the avenue left in your mind now?"
Jiang Yuesheng felt it for a while and replied honestly: "There are still some, but not much."
Lin Ze nodded slightly: "Although the rewards from heaven are good, if you use them too much, it will be like overthrowing the achievements and will not be conducive to your subsequent development."
"My suggestion is that every time you get a piece of the great road as a reward from heaven, you should first realize it for a while, make full use of the reward from heaven to enhance your own cultivation, and then come here to worship again until it is used up."
"This can not only speed up the advancement to the Heavenly Realm, but also consolidate the foundation. What do you think?"
Jiang Yuesheng didn't even think about it, just like a chicken pecking at rice: "The ancestor is thoughtful and thoughtful. The disciple admires it very much and is willing to act according to the ancestor's words."
Lin Ze was full of joy and said: "That's very good. You can stay in that house. I will come here every day. If you feel that your insights are gone or undetectable, you can come to me at any time."
Jiang Yuesheng said happily: "Disciple, I obey."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "Go, I have other things to do, so you don't have to stay here."
"Farewell, disciple," Jiang Yuesheng said as he walked towards the house.
After Jiang Yuesheng left, Lin Ze took out two essences of heaven and earth from his arms and plunged them into the Jianmu Sacred Tree.
Of course, Lin Ze had to keep a large reward like this for himself.
From now on, Jiang Yuesheng will worship the Jianmu Sacred Tree every three days to accumulate the materials needed to advance to the Heavenly Realm.
It lasted for a month, and a spiritual light descended from heaven, and Jiang Yuesheng stepped into the realm of heaven and man, and the whole world celebrated.
…
One afternoon a month later, Xuantang suddenly appeared in Yongle Hall and silently delivered a jade box and a big clock to Lin Ze.
Lin Ze took it with a calm expression: "The Master is indeed true to his word."
Xuantang clasped his hands together and said, "I wonder when the Human Emperor will arrange for the poor monk to receive the reward from heaven?"
Lin Ze replied without thinking: "It'll be tomorrow."
Xuantang thought for a while and said: "Ten opportunities, I don't want to use them all at once, can I use them in batches?"
Lin Ze said cheerfully: "No problem. When the mage wants to use it, please inform me in advance and I will make arrangements for you."
Xuantang breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you so much to the Human Emperor."
Lin Ze smiled and said: "You and I each get what we need. Master, don't be polite. I wonder if Master would like to worship the Jianmu Sacred Tree tomorrow?"
Xuantang thought about it and chose a time: "How about three days from now?"
Lin Ze replied casually: "Then just follow what the Master said."
Xuantang clasped his hands and bowed: "I'll leave this matter to the Emperor. I'll take my leave as a poor monk."
After Xuantang left, Lin Ze immediately ordered: "Come here, summon the Prime Minister Huaiyin Marquis and the Commander-in-Chief of Jinyiwei to come and discuss matters."
The chamberlain replied across the hall: "Young man, I obey the order."
After a while, Chen Ping, Han Xin, and Wu Fan hurried over, bowed and saluted, and said, "I have come to pay homage to Your Majesty. I wonder what your Majesty's instructions are for summoning my ministers?"
Lin Ze looked indifferent and said: "As the saying goes, we share hardships and blessings together. I have known each other since we were young, and today we share wealth and honor. It is a good story."
"I called you here today because I want to pass on this good story forever."
Chen Ping thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you want to compile a history book and record this paragraph for future generations?"
Lin Ze shook his head: "Things recorded on paper can easily be tampered with. I have a better way."
Wu Fan followed suit and said, "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
Lin Ze looked solemn and said: "I am fortunate to have received a great opportunity, which can increase the chance of being promoted to the realm of heaven and humanity. The three of you have followed me for a long time. It is considered that you have worked hard and achieved great results. It is understandable to share the profits."
"Although this opportunity is good, it is not absolute. As the saying goes, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to God to make things happen. Whether the three of you can advance to the realm of heaven and human depends on whether you have this destiny."
When Chen Ping, Han Xin, and Wu Fan heard this, their eyes lit up at the same time. They could not suppress the excitement in their hearts, and they worshiped in unison: "Your Majesty is so kind and benevolent that I will never forget it. I am willing to go through fire and water for your Majesty all my life, and die."
Lin Ze waved his hand: "Okay, no need to be polite. Only one person can get the opportunity I said a day. The three of you have arranged your order, and one of you will come with me to experience it tomorrow."
