The first thousand and eighty-fifth chapters are better for brothers and friends than enemies and ba
In front of the Jianmu Sacred Tree, Han Xin followed Lin Ze's instructions and poured a cart of natural materials and earthly treasures into the pit, filled it with soil and tamped it down, then sat cross-legged and entered the state of enlightenment.
As for why it was Han Xin, it was because Han Xin had the highest cultivation level among the three and was the most likely to be promoted to the Heavenly Realm in a short period of time.
As the saying goes, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Chen Ping and Wu Fan knew that their strength was much inferior to that of Han Xin, so they did not even think about competing.
Lin Ze deliberately avoided going to the house this time, and took Han Xin directly to worship in front of the Jianmu Sacred Tree, planning to leave after finishing the work.
But the movement caused still alarmed the people in the house.
When Zhuang Zhou and Hui Shi heard the news and rushed there, they happened to see the reward given by heaven sink into Han Xin's body.
Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this, while Hui Shi looked at this scene with a gloomy expression, and anger almost burst out from his eyes.
Lin Ze hugged Zhuang Zhou as a greeting, and then focused most of his attention on Han Xin, waiting for him to wake up.
Zhuang Zhou briefly organized his words and said slowly: "Junior brother, I have something to tell you."
Lin Ze turned around, looking a little surprised: "I wonder what your instructions are, senior brother?"
Zhuang Zhou glanced at Han Xin, who was concentrating on enlightenment, thought for a while and said: "This matter is not suitable for outsiders. Junior brother, come over here, and you and I will talk privately."
Lin Ze nodded slightly, casually laid out a formation to protect Han Xin, and instantly came to three feet in front of Zhuang Zhou, saying with a smile: "Senior brother, please speak."
Zhuang Zhou first stretched out his hand and drew a circle, only to see a barrier appear out of thin air, and the three people were enveloped in it, isolated from the outside world.
"If I remember correctly, that person seems to be a subordinate of the secular dynasty established by my junior brother?"
Zhuang Zhou pointed at Han Xin and asked.
Lin Ze nodded and replied: "Yes, his name is Han Xin. He is currently the Marquis of Huaiyin in the Western Qin Dynasty and also the Minister of the Ministry of War. He studied under a military strategist and is good at fighting. He once conquered a large territory for his junior brother. He is a rare capable general under his junior brother."
Lin Ze never hesitates to praise those who catch his eye.
Zhuang Zhou didn't pay much attention to Lin Ze's introduction and continued to ask: "Junior brother brought him to worship the Jianmu sacred tree. Could it be that he wanted him to be like Jiang Yuesheng and step into the realm of heaven and man?"
Lin Ze heard something was wrong in Zhuang Zhou's words, but he remained calm and replied with a smile: "Senior brother's eyes are like a torch, and he can see through junior brother's thoughts at a glance."
Zhuang Zhou glanced at Hui Shi, whose face was as dark as water, and sighed slightly: "Junior brother's move, I'm afraid there is something inappropriate."
Lin Ze smiled and said: "Junior brother is ignorant and doesn't know what is wrong. Please give me some advice."
Zhuang Zhou slowly exhaled a breath and said: "The method of cultivating the sacred tree was taught by the teacher, and the seeds were given by the teacher. You and I are just following the teacher's instructions to do some cultivation work. Logically speaking, chance
It should belong to the teacher, and you and I only occupy a very small part."
"The teacher's realm is profound and unpredictable, and he doesn't care about this opportunity, so most of it falls on the junior brother who works hard for it. Even if the junior brother has it all to himself, no one is qualified to comment."
"If junior brother wants to transfer it out, Brother Yu secretly thinks that the Dao Palace disciples should be given priority, such as Jiang Yuesheng and his like, and outsiders should not occupy too much."
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Senior Brother, are you dissatisfied with Junior Brother for giving opportunities to outsiders?"
Hui Shi interjected at the right time: "Anyone would be dissatisfied with the villain who eats everything."
Lin Ze looked over with cold eyes after hearing this.
The next moment, Lin Ze's saint-level aura was like a volcano erupting, all of it spurted out and slammed into Hui Shi.
Zhuang Zhou's expression changed drastically, and he immediately stood in front of Hui Shi and said loudly: "Junior brother, please show mercy."
Before he finished speaking, Zhuang Zhou clearly felt a tearing and burning sensation coming from the skin on his body.
With a "boom", Lin Ze's blow knocked Zhuang Zhou, who was hastily protecting Hui Shi, and Hui Shi, the instigator, away heavily.
Zhuang Zhou frantically mobilized the power of heaven to resist the impact from Lin Ze, stabilize his body, and retreated to a distance of more than ten miles before slowly stopping.
Lin Ze looked at this scene and said in a solemn tone: "With your senior brother's strength, you can completely avoid this attack, but you have to resist for a brainless guy. Is it worth it?"
Zhuang Zhou had not yet responded. Hui Shi, who was frightened and angry, jumped up and shouted: "Lin Ze, you want to kill me, but you dare to kill me? Do you want to betray Menqiang and commit suicide in Tao Palace?"
At that moment, Hui Shi really smelled the breath of death. After escaping from death, he was frightened and felt a strange anger.
Lin Ze said indifferently: "So what? If you trade your life for me to be expelled from the Taoist palace, you can still make a lot of money. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?"
"Come on, take the initiative and die in my hands. The teacher will definitely punish me severely for you."
Hui Shi was so angry that he was trembling all over. When his brain became hot, he wanted to rush forward, but Zhuang Zhou held him tightly.
Zhuang Zhou took a deep breath and said: "Lin Ze, even if your third senior brother is wrong, you should not have murderous intentions towards him. It is a taboo for fellow disciples to kill each other. The teacher will never allow this to happen."
Lin Ze said indifferently: "So junior brother can only endure his dirty words?"
Just as Zhuang Zhou was about to answer, he suddenly felt something. He looked up at the sky and saw a long and mighty river of righteousness winding its way and stopping in mid-air.
The Confucian sage's face was red, his gray beard and hair fluttered in the wind, and he said with great energy: "I seem to have come at the wrong time?"
Lin Ze sneered and retorted: "It doesn't matter, Confucian sages always come at the wrong time. It seems that no matter when you come, it's never the right time."
The Confucian sage was at a loss for words, and his old face suddenly became a little confused. The look in Lin Ze's eyes was already a bit unkind.
Zhuang Zhou felt a headache after hearing this, and quickly said: "Junior Brother Pindao means that the Confucian sage can come at any time. I don't know why the Confucian sage came here?"
The Confucian sage's face softened slightly, suppressing his displeasure deep in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "I wonder if the palace has received the book of all peoples sent by me?"
"received."
Zhuang Zhou was afraid that Lin Ze would say something vindictive again, so he quickly replied.
Lin Ze replied calmly: "I did receive the Book of Ten Thousand Peoples from a Confucian disciple."
The Confucian sage asked again: "The Book of Ten Thousand People contains extremely pure beliefs and can speed up the growth of the Jianmu Sacred Tree. Why doesn't the Taoist Palace use it?"
"Of course a good thing like the Book of All Nations must be offered up and used to speed up the growth of the Jianmu Sacred Tree. What a waste."
This time, Lin Ze took the lead.
After Zhuang Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. His junior brother finally returned to normal and knew how to politely refuse without offending others.
The Confucian sage said with a displeased face: "Cultivating the Jianmu Sacred Tree is the top priority right now. We should use all our efforts to accelerate the growth of the Jianmu Sacred Tree. What's the point of using a Book of All Nations?"
"I suggest that you sacrifice this Book of Ten Thousand Peoples immediately, so as not to miss the plan."
A sneer appeared on the corner of Lin Ze's mouth and he said: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Zhuang Zhou felt worried again after hearing this. He wanted to offend someone to death like this. Junior brother, do you think your life is too comfortable?
The Confucian sage was once again blocked from speaking. After a few breaths, he regained his composure and pretended to be calm: "I just have good intentions. It's fine if you don't appreciate it. Why do you need to be aggressive?"
Lin Ze waved his hand and said indifferently: "I have already felt the kindness of the Confucian sage. Please come back quickly. It's windy in the sky. Don't let your waist slip and hurt your body."
Confucian sage...
Zhuang Zhou...
After a long time, Confucian Sage completely gave up the idea of fighting with Lin Zexu and said bluntly: "I want to exchange for some heavenly rewards. I wonder if I can give you a convenience?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, the rewards from heaven are limited. It's too little for my own use. I really can't provide it to others. Please forgive me, Confucian Sage."
The Confucian sage was slightly displeased and said: "I am willing to exchange the most precious treasure with you, or if you make a price, I will try my best to meet your request."
Lin Ze said firmly: "We don't accept takeout, it has nothing to do with the price."
Anger flashed across the Confucian Sage's face, and he said in a deep voice: "I heard that someone else has changed it. I don't want to change it to me. Do you look down on me?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "The Confucian sage misunderstood. This has nothing to do with me not looking down on you. It's really that the reward from heaven is too small, and I really can't bear to change it."
After talking for a long time, Lin Ze refused to exchange. The Confucian sage couldn't help but said angrily: "The sacred tree of Jianmu is the most precious treasure of heaven and earth and is shared by all living beings in heaven and earth. How can you, Lin Ze, be so virtuous that you want to possess it alone?"
"
Lin Ze replied confidently: "This one was planted, and the shared one has long been broken into pieces by the demon clan. If you, old man, feel unhappy, go to the demon clan to ask for justice and let them compensate you."
The most annoying thing about this kind of sharing is that it requires payment, so why don’t you think about sharing, but think about the benefits and think about sharing?
The Confucian sage laughed angrily and said: "Okay, very good, I hope you can always guard this tree and prevent others from cutting it down and stealing it."
The words were full of threats.
Lin Ze lowered his head slightly and said, "I don't need you to worry about this matter. My senior brother, Zhuang Zhou, will be watching nearby on Sunday night. As long as an expert like you doesn't come to steal and rob, there will never be any problems."
The Confucian sage gave Lin Ze a deep and meaningful look, and left silently, riding on the long river of righteousness without saying a word.
Lin Ze watched the Confucian sage leave. When the Confucian sage disappeared completely, he turned to Zhuang Zhou and said quietly: "Senior brother just said that junior brother should not give opportunities to outsiders. Junior brother's answer is, I would rather give it to my brothers and friends.
Don't give it to the enemy."
"Who is a brother and friend and who is an enemy? It is clear to me at a glance, and we can decide with one word. If we feel something is inappropriate, we can ask the teacher to comment."
