Chapter eight hundred and forty seventh: Heavenly Master Dao Zhang Daoling
On the outskirts of Chang'an City, outside the Western Qin camp.
Mo Zhai bowed his hands and said: "Thank you Zhuang Sheng and Brother Lin for their hospitality. The little old man is very grateful. After returning to the world after thousands of years, the little old man wants to travel around the human world in the near future and appreciate this vast world.
Red dust."
"As for the two of you talking about joining the Dao Palace camp, the little old man will definitely consider it seriously during his travels."
"If you are interested in joining, I will contact you two as soon as possible. I hope you will not dislike it by then."
With a smile on his face, Zhuang Zhou raised his hands and said in return: "We are out on an expedition, but the poor Taoist brothers did not treat us well. I hope Mr. Mo Zhai will not be offended."
"As for the choice of camp, Mr. Mo Zhai can consider it and tell him directly if there are any special conditions. If the Mo family is willing to join, I will definitely welcome you."
Hearing this, Mo Zhai clasped his fists and said: "The little old man will definitely remember Zhuang Sheng's words in his heart, so he will say goodbye. See you later."
Zhuang Zhou smiled and replied: "Mr. Mo Zhai, walk slowly."
Mo Zhai nodded, took out a one-foot-square piece of wood from his arms, and threw it into the air.
The originally square wooden block changed its shape rapidly as it flew into the air, with countless parts unfolding from the inside out, and finally transformed into a three-meter-long thin-winged machine bird, floating in front of Mo Zhai.
Mo Zhai stood up and jumped, landed on the machine bird, clasped his fists to Lin Ze and Zhuang Zhou again and said, "Goodbye."
The machine bird suddenly seemed to come to life, fluttering its wings gently and flying into the sky.
Lin Ze, who had been watching with a polite smile, saw this scene, and the smile on his face suddenly turned into surprise: The Mo family has this technology, why can't they build an airplane?
Zhuang Zhou turned around and saw the change in Lin Ze's expression. Thinking that he was dissatisfied with Mo Zhai's repeated excuses, he asked calmly: "Junior brother, are you unhappy?"
Lin Ze was slightly startled: "Brother, why did you say this? Junior brother is not unhappy at all."
Zhuang Zhou smiled softly and said: "Really? Senior brother thought that junior brother was dissatisfied with Mo Zhai's refusal to join. After all, junior brother was a warm hospitality and a sincere solicitation. Mo Zhai's behavior may easily make you think that he does not appreciate it.
"
Lin Ze smiled and replied: "Senior brother, you have underestimated me. The joining of the Mo family is not just a help in times of need, but the icing on the cake."
"Although the stronger Xi Qin's strength is, the better, the Mo family really doesn't want to join, and my junior brother doesn't want to be resentful."
"Besides, Mr. Mo Zhai didn't refuse, right? How did Senior Brother know that he wouldn't decide to join the Taoist Palace?"
Zhuang Zhou couldn't deny it and said: "Mo Zhai's so-called traveling in the world is not about traveling around the mountains and rivers. According to my understanding of him, most of them are observing the situation of the other three parties. If there is anyone who meets his wishes, he will probably join on the spot."
"Today you and I failed to convince him in one fell swoop, so we lost the opportunity. Does Junior Brother still have hope for this?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "Junior brother, I think that most of the time it depends on the support of his peers. Mo Zhai didn't know who was the strongest in the four parties before, and he was unwilling to accept one-sided words, so he wanted to read it all."
"After all, this matter is related to the life and death of tens of thousands of disciples of the Mo family. There is no reason for Mo Zhai not to consider it carefully. After he traveled around the world, he found that the other three parties were just as my junior brother said, and they would eventually join the Dao Palace camp."
Zhuang Zhou clicked his tongue and said, "Junior brother is quite confident in himself."
Lin Ze smiled, showing a row of white teeth and said: "Junior brother's confidence is more than that. Even without the participation of the Mo family, junior brother is still confident that he will become the final winner."
Zhuang Zhou smiled and said nothing.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ze changed the subject and said, "Besides the Mo family, senior brother, may I know the founders or sect leaders of other stronger sects? If there is a chance, we can try to recruit them together."
Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but feel funny after hearing this: "Junior brother, isn't he so confident that he doesn't need other sects to join him?"
Lin Ze's expression turned serious and he said: "Senior brother, what you said is wrong. Although there is no need to force it, you can't give the enemy an advantage in vain. One more ally means two fewer enemies. If you can easily win the destiny, why bother to fight to the death?"
"If you make more allies, make fewer enemies, and unite all the forces that can be united, the destiny will only be in the pocket of the Taoist palace."
The smile on Zhuang Zhou's face grew stronger, and he was about to answer when his expression suddenly changed and he said calmly: "Junior brother, your allies have arrived."
Lin Ze was a little confused, so he looked at Zhuang Zhou. It was not until an elegant aura appeared in his perception that he finally understood.
A figure wearing a purple Taoist robe descended from the sky and landed in front of Zhuang Zhou. He bowed and said, "Dao Ling pays homage to the second senior brother. We haven't seen each other for many years, and the second senior brother is still as charming as ever."
Lin Ze carefully looked at the person in front of him. He looked middle-aged, with an angular face that shone with a bit of wisdom. There was a trace of pride between his eyebrows. He was dressed in a purple robe, which made him look a bit noble.
Zhuang Zhou replied a little coldly: "Junior brother Daoling, you are well. Junior brother, why don't you hurry up and pay your respects to your senior brother Zhang Daoling?"
The visitor turned out to be one of the most famous named disciples of Tao Sheng, Tianshi Dao Zhang Daoling.
Lin Ze obeyed and said: "Junior brother Lin Ze, pay your respects to senior brother Daoling."
Zhang Daoling hurriedly returned the greeting and said: "Although I am a few years older than my junior brother, I am the teacher's direct disciple and my junior brother has a distinguished status. How can I do such a great gift to this poor Tao? I can't do it, I can't do it."
Lin Ze was slightly startled and looked at Zhuang Zhou.
A look of disgust flashed across Zhuang Zhou's eyes. This was what he didn't want to see Zhang Daoling.
A person who practices Taoism should devote himself to cultivating Taoism, be detached and selfless, and have normal interactions with fellow disciples and fellow Taoists.
However, this Taoist mausoleum pays special attention to the nobility and inferiority. It created its own sect of Tianshi Tao and divided its disciples into four grades of purple, red, blue and gray. Those with higher status commanded and enslaved those with lower status, which in vain made the Taoist sect a little more smoky.
If Zhang Daoling had not been a registered disciple of the Taoist sage, and he was very respectful in his etiquette and served the Taoist sage very wholeheartedly, Zhuang Zhou would not be able to correct the Taoist sect's ethos.
When Lin Ze looked over with inquiring eyes, Zhuang Zhou replied coldly: "Your senior brother Daoling has always been like this, you just go with him."
Lin Ze was slightly startled, how could he just follow his rules? Should he just let him do what he did and treat her normally, or should he be overly polite along with him?
Obviously Zhuang Zhou didn't want to explain clearly, so he turned around and entered the camp, leaving Zhang Daoling aside.
Lin Ze coughed slightly when he saw this and said, "Senior Brother Daoling has come all the way. Why don't you come in with me and sit down and have a cup of hot tea?"
Zhang Daoling smiled brightly and said, "Junior Brother Lin is so polite."
Lin Ze smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Senior Brother Daoling, please."
Zhang Daoling quickly waved his hand and said: "Junior Brother Lin, there is no need. Just move forward and I will catch up."
Lin Ze did not dwell too much on the matter and strode forward, bringing Zhang Daoling to his tent.
