Lin Ze casually threw the document conferring Xuandu as the Imperial Master of the Western Qin State on the table, and his whole body was as calm as water.
Originally, Lin Ze planned that if the Dao Sage listened to Xuandu's sophistry and asked him to go out and confront him, he would throw out this document and confirm the fact that Xuandu was plotting the fate of the Western Qin Dynasty.
Lin Ze did not expect Dao Sheng to act so decisively and not give Xuan Du a chance to explain, but it saved Lin Ze a lot of trouble.
But how will the Dao Shenghui deal with Xuandu?
Lin Ze was thinking wildly when Zhuang Zhou's figure gradually appeared in the lobby.
Zhuang Zhou looked at Lin Ze and said with a complicated look on his face: "Junior brother is not wrong. Senior brother's move to use luck to heal his injuries is indeed an act of his own initiative without telling the teacher."
Lin Ze said calmly: "Junior brother, what I said is the same, what I do is not for myself, but for the Dao Palace and the teacher."
"Teacher will only find ways to support me, and will never take the initiative to let others put obstacles in my way."
Zhuang Zhou smiled calmly and said: "Okay, put away your theories. The teacher wants you to go to the mountain behind the Taoist Palace to meet him."
"Now?" Lin Ze looked hesitant, and all kinds of thoughts came to his mind. Will this matter happen again?
Zhuang Zhou looked solemn and said: "Of course, does it mean that junior brother thinks that I will pretend to pass on the master's orders like senior brother?"
Lin Zegan smiled and said: "Of course not, senior brother, are you with me?"
Zhuang Zhou shook his head like a rattle: "The teacher just lets you go, why should I go?"
Lin Ze smiled and said: "Then please ask senior brother to take care of Chang'an. Junior brother will go to see the teacher now."
After saying this, Lin Ze took advantage of the wind and headed straight to the Dao Palace.
…
On the mountain behind the Taoist palace, Taoist Saint looked at Lin Ze who was coming in a hurry, and said: "Your senior brother was seriously injured, and his Taoist mind was unstable, so that he fell into the devil's trap and almost made a big mistake. Don't take it personally."
go."
"My master has sealed him in the snowy mountains. He will not be released until the catastrophe ends. You don't have to worry about the same thing happening in the future."
Lin Ze was slightly startled when he heard this, and the image of Dao Sage's suppression of Xuandu not long ago appeared in his mind.
A huge hand covering the sky descended from the sky, and Xuandu, the third realm of heaven and man, was like a weak chicken, tightly held in the palm of the hand by the Taoist Saint.
During the whole process, Xuandu only showed a look of horror on his face, showing no intention of resisting at all.
Lin Ze, who was watching not far away, knew clearly that Xuandu not only had no desire to resist, but also had no strength to resist.
The moment the Taoist Saint took action, Lin Ze lost his sense of the way of heaven and his own way at the same time. There was only a strange and familiar way across the sky, vast and unfathomable.
The Taoist Saint directly used the trump card of a saint, replacing the way of heaven with his own way, and suppressing the world.
Regardless of whether Xuandu is in the third realm of heaven or Lin Ze is in the second realm of heaven, in this state, they are directly knocked back to their original form, and their strength is almost the same as that of those who just broke through the realm of heaven.
Lin Ze deeply imprinted that feeling in his mind, and his evaluation of the saint's danger level increased countless times.
The Taoist Saint looked at the stunned Lin Ze, frowned slightly and asked, "Are you dissatisfied with my master's treatment?"
Lin Ze came to his senses immediately and said with cold sweat on his back: "This disciple is very satisfied with the result of the teacher's handling. There is absolutely no dissatisfaction at all."
How could Lin Ze dare to show his dissatisfaction? What if Tao Sheng Ji took a grudge and waited for him to have no use value, and then came to settle accounts and seal him like Xuandu, how miserable that would be.
The Taoist sage could not deny it and said: "Lin Ze, please sit down in front of me. I think it is necessary to have a frank talk with you."
"Disciple, I obey," Lin Ze responded, walking towards the Taoist Sage without any haste and speed, while his brain was running wildly. What was the Taoist Sage's intention?
A few feet away from Taoist Saint, Lin Ze sat cross-legged and said respectfully: "Teacher, please give me some advice."
The Taoist Saint looked directly into Lin Ze's eyes and said: "I asked your second senior brother to send you a message before, that you must send troops to stir up the situation in the world, so as to stimulate the increase of luck."
"Now your senior brother is plotting the destiny of the Western Qin Dynasty under the guise of being a teacher. Are you dissatisfied with being a teacher because of these two things?"
Lin Ze hurriedly stood up from the ground, bowed and said: "I don't have a disciple, I don't dare."
"Are you sure you don't have it or you don't dare?" Taoist Saint said in a leisurely tone.
Lin Ze lowered his head and said: "Increased luck is not only beneficial to the Dao Palace, but also beneficial to the disciples. The disciples are not ruthless, so how can they resent a well-intentioned teacher?"
"Eldest Brother is using his master's orders to plot the destiny of the Western Qin Dynasty. Even if the disciples are dissatisfied, they are also dissatisfied with Senior Brother. How can they blame innocent people?"
"Therefore, the disciple is not dissatisfied with the teacher. The disciple has always respected the teacher and dare not be dissatisfied with the teacher."
The Taoist Sage smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't or you don't dare. Since I said it openly and honestly, I have no intention of pursuing it. Whether you are sincere or false, this matter ends here and there is no need to mention it again."
"However," Dao Sheng changed the topic and said with a serious face: "I hope that you and I, master and disciple, can be honest with each other and work together to seize the opportunities that come with this catastrophe."
Lin Ze responded in a deep voice: "Disciple understands."
"Understood?" Tao Sheng chuckled and said, "As long as you understand, I would like to ask you, what are your plans for holding back your troops for so long?"
Lin Ze looked solemn and said: "Reporting to the teacher, the Western Qin Dynasty was just established, and the people's hearts are not attached to it. We should rest and recuperate and appease the people."
"A hasty war can easily lead to turmoil, and there is always the risk of destruction. The disciples are worried and dare not start a war lightly."
The Taoist Saint asked calmly: "Isn't there a quick and effective solution?"
Lin Ze smiled bitterly and said: "The safest way is to keep recuperating until the country is prosperous and the people are safe, then find a reasonable excuse and justifiably send out troops to bring peace to the world in one fell swoop."
"How long do we have to wait?"
Lin Ze thought for a moment and said, "Preliminary estimate is more than ten years."
The Taoist Saint shook his head: "Ten years is too long. First of all, in a world of great strife, it is impossible for you to spend ten years in peace. If you can stay calm for ten years, the catastrophe will probably be over."
"What's more, if I can give you ten years as a teacher, Buddhism and Confucianism will not give you ten years, and your uncle Tongtian is even less likely to give you ten years."
"I never thought about forcing you to fight for world hegemony with the whole country. I just want to be a little more attentive and don't miss the best opportunity to increase your luck."
"My teacher once deduced that now is the easiest time to obtain luck. After this period, luck will not burst out. By then, it will be harder to obtain a large amount of luck than to reach the sky."
"So I hope you can seize the opportunity and don't miss it."
Lin Ze bowed and replied: "Teacher has worked so hard, how can the disciple let him down? Please rest assured, teacher, when the disciple returns, he will immediately start preparing to stir up the situation in the world and reap the fortune."
The Taoist sage looked pleased: "That's very good."
