Zhang Sannian said: "Although His Majesty is the supreme emperor, he is also a father."
Emperor Xuanqing shook his head: "Look at you, you only talk about these things and only flatter me."
Zhang Sannian was stunned. The emperor had long been used to him talking like this, and it wasn't the first day. He also asked himself that there was nothing wrong with what he said, so why did the emperor still provoke him?
Emperor Xuanqing said: "Three years, how long have you been with me?"
Zhang Sannian said: "Three thousand four hundred and fifty-five years."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "Do you remember it so clearly?"
Zhang Sannian said: "I remember everything related to Your Majesty very clearly."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "It's been more than three thousand years... I still remember that when you first came here, you only had Zhu Ji, a dumb boy, and you didn't know how to serve me. In a flash, you were already a master at the peak of the late integration stage.
A monk now."
Zhang Sannian said: "It is my blessing and opportunity to serve Your Majesty. Without His Majesty's constant advice, I would not have been able to cultivate to this point."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "But I don't want you to reach this point. You were in the late stage of integration more than a thousand years ago. For more than a thousand years, you have made almost no progress. This may be the case in the future until the end of your life."
.”
Zhang Sannian was silent for a long time, and then said: "Perhaps with my talent, this is my limit. The Mahayana is too difficult, and there is no hope in my life.
By being able to reach this point, I have surpassed countless monks, so I should be satisfied."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "Are you really satisfied?"
Zhang Sannian was silent again. After a long while, he smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty knows it well, so why bother making fun of me? What can I do if I am not satisfied?"
Emperor Xuanqing said: "You, you, I just hate that iron cannot become steel. Fortunately, I am still here. One day, I will ascend. With your character, you may really have no hope of Mahayana for the rest of your life."
Poof! Zhang Sannian fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, I am stupid. Please give me some advice. I really don't want to go further all the time."
Emperor Xuanqing stretched out his hand and pulled him up: "Although I have so many sons, daughters and courtiers, the one who can really get close to me, or who can speak from my heart, is you, and the other is the one who left just now... Xiao Baoshi
Six or three years later, you remember that Mahayana requires transparency, true indifference, true non-deliberateness, and true calmness, because only in this way can you face all the unbearable moods in the past and remain calm.
Only when you are shocked can you be calm and return to your true nature. You have now reached the pinnacle of your realm and nothing is missing. However, even in terms of your state of mind, you still remain deliberate. This is also the real reason why you are still unable to break through the bottleneck even though you have achieved your skills.
"
Zhang Sannian said: "What should I do?"
Emperor Xuanqing said: "I can teach you countless words, but if you can't do it, it's useless. I just had a conversation with Eighty-Six. The Tianlong Formation has records. You can take it out and read it. In fact, we both
I didn’t say anything, as long as you can fully understand Eighty-Six’s attitude towards me, then you will know how to advance to Mahayana.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhang Sannian was surprised and happy.
"Go, go, I'm going to practice."
Emperor Xuanqing waved his hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhang Sannian saluted and hurriedly left the Yangxin Hall.
"When people get old, they start to talk nonsense."
Emperor Xuanqing looked at his back and smiled slightly, "It's almost time for me to face my ancestors."
