Above the clouds, the breeze blew by, and the two of them looked to the southwest, silent.
After a long time, Lin Ze broke the silence and said: "If my junior brother remembers correctly, it has only been more than a year since Emperor Qin was promoted to heaven. In just one year, he has crossed two realms. Is Emperor Qin's martial arts qualifications and opportunities so incredible?"
"Is there a secret method that even my senior brothers don't know about that can speed up enlightenment to the realm of heaven and man?"
Zhuang Zhou withdrew his gaze from the direction of Chang'an City, shook his head slightly and said, "Junior brother, I was wrong. Emperor Qin did not break through two realms in one year, he only broke through one realm."
"First level?" Lin Ze's face was startled: "Senior brother, could it be that he deceived his junior brother and didn't know how to count?"
Zhuang Zhou's slightly tense face suddenly softened, and he smiled bitterly and said: "On that day, Emperor Qin broke the barrier between heaven and man. After the breakthrough, he was not the first realm of heaven and man, but condensed the seeds of the great road in one fell swoop, and entered the second realm of heaven and man.
"
"The teacher once said that between heaven and earth, there is no other way to speed up the enlightenment of heaven and man except luck and destiny. Emperor Qin was able to break through the third realm only with the help of Qin's destiny and the consumption of a lot of energy.
transport."
At the end of the sentence, Zhuang Zhou looked at Lin Ze and said with a hint: "Senior brother knows that junior brother has extraordinary qualifications and good fortune, but in the journey of the great road, shortcuts may not always be good."
Lin Ze heard this and replied angrily: "Junior brother understands."
Zhuang Zhou didn't pay attention to Lin Ze's perfunctory tone at all. Instead, he looked in the direction of the Dao Palace, with a look of worry on his face, and murmured to himself: "Teacher and the Buddha and Confucian saints have been planning for ten thousand years, but now there are many changes. I don't know.
What will become of this world?"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Lin Ze quickly asked: "Dare you ask me, senior brother, teacher, if they are in such a realm, what else is worthy of their planning for ten thousand years? Junior brother is really curious, and I hope that senior brother will not hesitate to tell you."
Zhuang Zhou glanced at Lin Ze, pondered for a moment, and replied: "What the teacher is planning is beyond the reach of my junior brother. It is best for my junior brother not to inquire about it, so as not to cause trouble to me."
Lin Ze...
"Senior brother, do you know how uncomfortable it is to be in the fog and not see the real thing? Junior brother is not afraid of troubles, and I hope that senior brother will tell the truth."
Lin Ze felt it was necessary to find out something that could make Zhuang Zhou taboo.
Zhuang Zhou thought for a while and said, "Senior brother, I heard the teacher mention this incident by chance. I don't know much about it. If I hear some trivial information, I will inevitably have misunderstandings."
"When I meet the teacher tomorrow, wouldn't it be better for my junior brother to ask the teacher directly for clarification?"
How could Lin Ze believe Zhuang Zhou's lies? Zhuang Zhou refused to tell them, so could the Taoist Sage be willing to tell them?
After all, Lin Ze is not like Zhuang Zhou, who has worshiped under the Taoist sect since he was a child. Doesn't he have any doubts about how much trust and love a disciple like him, who has become a monk, can get?
So Lin Ze shamelessly said with a smile: "As a disciple, how can I bother the teacher with everything? Senior brother has also preached to the junior brother on behalf of the teacher, why not talk to the junior brother first?"
"Maybe junior brother is not very interested in this matter and feels there is no need to ask the teacher. Wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?"
Zhuangzhou Youyanbujin replied: "This matter is a private appointment between the teacher and the Buddha and Confucian saints. Without the permission of the teacher, senior brother dare not say anything. Junior brother, please do not continue to ask questions."
Seeing that Lin Ze's face seemed worried, Zhuang Zhou added: "Junior brother, don't worry too much. When junior brother breaks through to the third level, maybe the teacher will take the initiative to mention this matter."
Lin Ze saw that the questioning was unsuccessful and that continuing to entangle would harm the relationship between them. He could only pretend to smile and said: "Junior brother, don't embarrass senior brother. After a few days, I will go up the mountain to pay my respects to the teacher and mention this incident by the way."
"At that time, whether the teacher is willing to pass on my secret or not, it will all be decided by the teacher."
Zhuang Zhou smiled knowingly and said: "That's very good. But my junior brother can't wait too long. I think it won't be long before the teacher calls."
Lin Ze looked puzzled and asked, "Why is this?"
Zhuang Zhou did not explain, but pointed in the direction of Chang'an City.
Lin Ze reacted immediately, patted his forehead, and smiled bitterly: "I see."
Emperor Qin has already reached the third realm of heaven and man. Who can guarantee that he will not go further and enter the fourth realm of heaven and man?
In a time of great strife, even if luck skyrockets, it is not infinite.
It is obvious that the things planned by Taoist Saints and other powerful men in the fourth realm of heaven are inseparable from luck and destiny.
Not to mention that Emperor Qin, as the human emperor, has always occupied the largest part of the destiny in the world.
Even if Emperor Qin is just an ordinary warrior, Taoist saints and others may not tolerate a person outside the three religions sharing their limited luck.
It can be inferred from this that Tao Sheng and others must take corresponding measures to curb the growth of Emperor Qin.
The so-called corresponding means might not include Lin Ze, a "cheap" disciple.
Whether it was because of the fact that Western Qin had a land thousands of miles away and an elite army of hundreds of thousands, or because of Lin Ze's cultivation in the second realm of Heavenly Man, Taoist Saint had no reason to ignore Lin Ze.
That's why Zhuang Zhou said that within a few days, Taoist sages will definitely summon him.
I just don’t know what kind of methods Tao Sheng and others will take?
Seeing Lin Ze's thoughtful look, Zhuang Zhou looked relieved and advised: "Junior brother, don't worry too much. Go back to the palace first and wait for the teacher's call with peace of mind."
After Zhuang Zhou finished speaking, he suddenly became as if nothing had happened. He stretched out his arms and spread his wings like a roc, and quickly circled down from the sky.
Then he found a secluded place in the garden of Prince Zhao's palace, lay down there, and fell asleep.
Looking at this scene, Lin Ze sighed softly and shook his head repeatedly. This was because the second senior brother's personality was so out of control at times, and his ability to sleep was even worse than the description in the classics of his previous life.
The pig in Journey to the West is probably not as good at sleeping as him.
Lin Ze did not rush down from the high altitude, but looked in the direction of Chang'an City with complicated emotions.
Lin Ze somewhat sympathized with Emperor Qin. He didn't know how much it cost to break through to the third realm of heaven and humanity. In the blink of an eye, he was targeted by several big bosses, and his future was gloomy.
If a third-level heavenly being is targeted by three evil-minded fourth-level heavenly beings, it won't end well.
Lin Ze suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart, not because of Emperor Qin, but for himself.
Today, Emperor Qin breaks through to the third level and is about to attract three big bosses to plot against him. Will Lin Ze end up with the same fate if he breaks through to the third level in the future?
Although Zhuang Zhou didn't say it clearly, Lin Ze combined some scattered information and concluded that the Taoist Saint and the others probably didn't want to see the Human Emperor in the fourth realm of Heaven and Human appear.
Lin Ze suddenly felt a shadow in his heart.
…
Lin Ze returned to the side hall of Prince Zhao's palace, once again briefly mentioned the six-part system, and waved everyone away.
In Lin Ze's plan, he originally wanted to spend a day and gather everyone's wisdom to sort out the Western Qin system.
Now that something unexpected happened, Lin Ze's originally eager heart inevitably became a little colder.
If everything in the Western Qin Dynasty ended up being for the Dao Palace, or in other words, making wedding clothes for the Dao Saint, then why would Lin Ze be so busy?
Wouldn't it be nice to be a little more comfortable?
Thinking about it carefully, Lin Ze has the best civil servants and generals in the world, so it seems that it will have no impact if he is more comfortable.
Just as Lin Ze was thinking wildly, a powerful aura rose from a distance and exploded.
Lin Ze had a solemn look on his face and ran towards the garden without even thinking.
When the sky falls, a tall man will hold it up, and Zhuang Zhou is Lin Ze's tall man.
When Lin Ze rushed to the garden, he found that Zhuang Zhou had woken up from his sleep, standing there with a solemn expression, as if waiting for something.
Seeing Lin Ze running towards him, Zhuang Zhou quickly reminded him: "Junior brother, please prepare a little to welcome senior brother."
"Elder brother is a bit stubborn and rigid. If what you do does not suit his wishes, he will definitely nag you for several days."
Lin Ze looked surprised when he heard this and said, "Is this powerful aura emitted by Senior Brother?"
Zhuang Zhou rolled his eyes at Lin Ze: "Nonsense, except for teachers and others, there are only a handful of people with such strength in the world. Who else would come here with nothing to do except senior brother?"
As the two of them were talking, their breaths got closer and closer, until they stopped suddenly when they were ten miles away.
Zhuang Zhou winked at Lin Ze and said, "Hurry up and greet me with my senior brother."
Lin Ze followed Zhuang Zhou's gesture, held his right hand with his left hand, bowed ninety degrees, and bowed forward: "Welcome to you, senior brother."
A powerful aura instantly appeared in front of Lin Ze from ten miles away. Xuandu, who was dressed in a blue Taoist robe, bowed in the same posture and said in return: "Thank you, my two junior brothers, for greeting me."
After the ceremony, Xuandu looked at Lin Ze and said with a satisfied look on his face: "Junior brother, you are very good. You have never let down the teacher's high expectations."
Lin Ze didn't know what Xuandu was referring to for a moment, so he could only greet him with a smile: "Senior Brother, thank you for the award. I wonder why Senior Brother is here?"
Xuandu replied with a serious face: "According to the order of the teacher, Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism will meet in Handan in three days. I hope that my junior brother will prepare something."
