Qingyuan left angrily, and Xuanming chased after him. For a while, only Lin Ze and Shouzheng were left in the hall, and the atmosphere was slightly stagnant.
After a few breaths, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Shouzheng's face, and he broke the silence and said: "This matter is due to poor thinking, so please don't blame me, sages."
Shouzheng didn't expect such a thing to happen, and he felt a little sorry for Lin Ze in his heart.
Lin Ze didn't take it seriously and said: "The Taoist priest refused to speak because I am not blessed enough. How can I blame the palace master?"
"What's more, I don't necessarily want to find out what's going on. I just happened to meet him and want to know more about it."
Shouzheng breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while and said, "In this case, if the sage does not dislike it, I am willing to tell the sage everything he knows."
It was your words that I was waiting for. Lin Ze quickly replied: "I am all ears."
Shouzheng straightened his voice and said, "As the sages have seen, all three schools of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism have their forefathers who remain hidden from the world."
"Pindao originally thought it was just a legend. It wasn't until Taoist friend Qingyuan came with the token of the master of the Tao Palace that he confirmed that the records of the Tao Palace were true."
"No one can know how many ancestors and masters of the three families are hiding in the world, but I am sure that there are definitely powerful people in the heaven and human realm among them."
"There are clear records in the Dao Palace classics. Since ancient times, there have been many strong men from the three families who have broken through the realm of heaven and humans."
"I only know so much. I wonder if the sage has anything he would like to ask?"
A long time ago, Lin Ze always thought that the realm of immortality was just a legend, because everyone had only heard of it but had never seen it.
Shouzheng's words overturned Lin Ze's cognition. It was too much of a myth that there really was immortality in the world.
After thinking for a while, Lin Ze said: "I have two questions, and I hope the palace master will not hesitate to answer them."
"Excuse me, sir."
"Since they are hidden in the world and not known to outsiders, where are these people hiding? Overseas, or in the outer world?"
"Since they are hidden in the world, why do these people come out again?"
Shouzheng smiled bitterly and said: "Pindao has long expected that the sages would ask this question. According to the Taoist palace records, these people most likely went to heaven. As for why they were born, Pindao has no way of knowing."
"Outside the sky? Is there really a fairyland?" Lin Ze asked with a strange expression.
Shouzheng shook his head and said decisively: "I have no way of knowing what the outer world is like, but I can guarantee that there is absolutely no so-called fairyland."
"Is the outer world far away from the human world?" Lin Ze asked a question that he was very concerned about. He wanted to speculate how long it would take for Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism to arrive.
Shouzheng just responded with a wry smile. The meaning was obvious and he didn't know it.
Lin Ze frowned slightly and thought to himself: It seems that what Shouzheng knows is extremely limited. Apart from the fact that he can live forever, there is not much of value. If he wants to know more, he still has to stay in Qingyuan.
On the body.
After making up his mind, Lin Ze asked another question: "Except those who live in seclusion, how many great masters are there in Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism?"
Shouzheng thought for a while and said: "In the entire Taoist sect, there are three grandmasters in the Taoist Palace, which the sages know. In addition, there are two grandmasters in the Overseas Biyou Palace, and Qingyuan is one of them."
"In Buddhism, there should have been three masters, but a few years ago, the wise master of Buddhism died at the hands of Emperor Qin, and now there should be two left."
"For Confucians, I have only heard that there are two masters in the Hidden World Academy, but no one has seen them, and I don't know whether they are true or false."
There is only one grandmaster left in Buddhism, Lin Ze said silently in his heart.
After hesitating for a long time, Lin Ze suddenly asked: "I wonder if the palace master knows how the change of dynasty will affect the warriors? Especially the powerful ones in the heaven and human realm."
The Buddhists sent people to support Nanzhao's attack on the Qin Dynasty, and the Confucianists sent people to support Liu Ji's uprising. Lin Ze could vaguely guess that what they were planning was most likely related to the change of dynasty.
But he knew so little information that he couldn't even think of any relationship between the two.
It's not that Lin Ze has never thought about "cheating" and understanding the truth through "Knowing the Destiny", but when he wanted to use the "Knowing the Destiny", he had a vague feeling that a catastrophe was coming and he was about to die.
So Lin Ze decisively followed his heart, no longer thinking about taking shortcuts, but came to Tao Palace to seek answers.
Shouzheng looked confused and asked: "Will the change of dynasty still have an impact on the warriors of the Heavenly Realm?"
"The change of dynasty cannot affect such great powers. Is it possible that the Heavenly Realm will still fight on the battlefield just like ordinary people for the change of dynasty?"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Lin Ze's heart trembled suddenly, and four words "Battle of the Gods" appeared in his mind.
In his impression, only in the fairy tales of previous lives could such plots of extremely powerful men go into battle.
For example, the battle between Emperors Yan and Huang and Chi You, or the battle between Zhou Dynasty and Shang Dynasty.
But the plot is wrong. Lin Ze has never heard of the Battle of Zhuolu and the Battle of the Gods in this world.
Not to mention the Battle of Zhuolu, the history of the Zhou Dynasty's destruction of the Shang Dynasty is clearly recorded in the Daqin Chronicle. The last king of the Shang Dynasty, Di Xin, a powerful man in the realm of immortality, died in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
siege.
A strong man in the Heavenly Immortality Realm died in the siege? Lin Ze's face froze, and he felt that his brain was not enough.
Such an obvious problem, I haven't thought of it before?
According to the theory that only the Grand Master can deal with it, those who are strong in the Human Immortality Realm will only die at the hands of the Heavenly Human Immortality Realm in the same realm.
Putting aside the situation of someone deliberately erasing history, the Great Zhou Dynasty at least once had a strong person in the realm of immortality.
Therefore, how could Dazhou, where a powerful person in the Immortal Realm of Heavenly Beings was in charge, die?
Lin Ze vaguely grasped a very crucial line. As long as this line is sorted out clearly, all doubts can be solved.
But no one can prove whether what Lin Ze guessed is true or false.
However, one thing Lin Ze was certain of was that he would never give up his power in Qin easily. He had a vague feeling that this would become very important in the near future.
If Lin Ze planned to stay in Qin before, it was just because he cared about old friendships and to collect cultivation resources, now he has another reason.
Lin Ze took a deep breath and hid his speculation deep in his heart. He chatted with Shouzheng for a while with a calm expression, and asked a few questions about the recent situation in the Dao Palace.
Shouzheng only treated it as a daily greeting and responded one by one.
Suddenly, Lin Ze pretended to ask casually: "I wonder how many days the Qingyuan Taoist priest has been here. Will he live in the Taoist palace forever?"
Shouzheng did not doubt that he was there, and replied honestly: "Fellow Taoist Qingyuan came here three days ago. It is impossible to stay here forever..."
Halfway through speaking, Shouzheng's expression suddenly changed: "The sage doesn't have any other ideas, right?"
Lin Ze laughed and said: "The Palace Master guessed it right. I am thinking about how to ease the relationship with Taoist Priest Qingyuan and find out some information."
"So that's it," Shouzheng continued with a look of surprise on his face, "Fellow Taoist Qingyuan will stay in the Taoist Palace for a total of thirty days this time and will leave after twenty-seven days. The sages must seize the opportunity."
Seeing that Lin Ze was so caring, Shouzheng decided to help him once.
A smile appeared on Lin Ze's face and he said: "Thank you, Palace Master, for reminding me. I will definitely find a way to ease the relationship with fellow Taoist Qingyuan."
Shouzheng nodded: "Sage, don't worry, Pindao will also say some good words for the sage and try his best to facilitate this matter."
