The old man glanced at Fang Jie's gradually clenched fists and said calmly and seriously: "You can't beat me."
Fang Jie was silent, then nodded: "It looks like it."
"So there is no need to fight at all, you can think of it this way"
The old man smiled and said: "You are curious about what I am doing, and I am curious about what you, the sudden appearance, want to do. Of course, you are politely curious, but I am impolitely curious. If you need me to apologize, If you do, I'll apologize, and if you want to fight, I'll beat you up."
Facing such an unreasonable old man who seemed to be reasonable, Fang Jie's previous anger dissipated a lot.
"Even if what you say makes sense."
Fang Jie didn¡¯t call him senior again: ¡°So out of fairness, you use your own means to satisfy your curiosity. Isn¡¯t it time to satisfy my curiosity too?¡±
The old man hummed and said, "Except for taking off my clothes, you can do whatever you want."
Fang Jie suddenly felt cold, thinking that this was the type of person he was disrespectful to.
"Who are you?"
Fang explained the question.
"You called me senior just now, and now I'm calling you directly because I offended you. Your temperament is really not peaceful But since you called me senior, I won't hold it against you. After all, my cultivation level is relatively high. You are taller and older than you, so I won¡¯t argue with you. If you ask me who I am I won¡¯t tell you.¡±
When he said this, the expression on his face was If you have the ability, come and hit me. The key is that you can't beat me, right?
Fang Jie lowered his head and glanced at the square character on the ground. It was still there without any change: "What was that method just now?"
The old man was obviously a little disappointed when he solved the problem without getting angry, but when he thought about it, he felt a little proud that this guy was interested in his own methods. Although he has experienced too many ups and downs and many vicissitudes of life, he still has not changed his temperament.
"As I said just now, it's a dream. No one else in the world knows this skill except me. Do you want to learn it?"
He is waiting for Fang Jie to tell you that he wants to learn, and then he can confidently say that he will not teach you.
Fang Jie shook his head: "I don't want to"
"Why?"
The old man asked in surprise.
"If a person has a peaceful and pure mind, this method can help many people. If a person has too many distracting thoughts in his heart, he will use this method to harm others. If a person has too many selfish thoughts in his heart, he cannot help or harm others. It will only make me sink in and be unable to extricate myself. I know what my character is. I may be able to resist some temptations once, but I may not be able to resist them the second time. It will hurt if I bite the tip of my tongue, and I will die if I fall into illusion. "
"interesting."
The old man looked at Fang Jie with curiosity on his face: "I haven't met an interesting young man like you for a long time I said before that you haven't seen me because you haven't looked over. Do you understand what I mean now? I asked you just now Do you understand, but I don¡¯t plan to explain anything to you? Now I think you are an interesting person, so I have to say it even if you don¡¯t want to listen.¡±
"Why?"
Ask the Fang Jie.
"I'm really old, I'm actually trying to reason with a young guy"
The old man seemed a little annoyed. After muttering to himself, the other party explained: "I have heard your name before and heard other people's comments about you, but the guy who mentioned you to me has bad cultivation and bad eyesight. It¡¯s even more infuriating. It¡¯s a disgrace to have such a stupid apprentice in my lifeI want to tell you now because I¡¯m attracted to you. I still lack a disciple. Are you interested?¡±
After saying this, without waiting for Fang Jie's reply, he immediately shook his head: "No, no, it seems that I had accepted a closed disciple more than ten years ago, and I said at that time that that was the last disciple I would accept. Bah! I called you a bitch regret it."
Fang Jie really couldn't bear to be angry with this kind of person. He shook his head helplessly: "Senior, have you had enough fun?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then pointed to his own eyes and asked Fang Jie: "Do you believe that I can see into the heavens? Do you believe that I can see into the future?"
Fang Jie wanted to shake his head and say he didn't believe it, but somehow he nodded.
The old man looked at Fang Jie in silence for a while, and suddenly his face became solemn: "I said you can't see me because you are concentrating on other things. You already have a direction in your heart, and you can't help but move towards the direction you choose. Look in that direction. So you can't see any other direction, no other choice. If I am willing to accept you as my disciple, are you willing to let go of the direction you choose to practice with me? If you nod, I can help you.Create a bright road. "
"How bright is it?"
Fang explained the question.
"Have you ever beaten up a ninth-level cultivator?"
The old man asked.
Fang Jie shook his head: "Of course not."
The old man said seductively: "It's very fun. After beating one, you will become addicted If you are willing to practice with me, how about I take you to bully the ninth-level practitioners every day? But having said that, I haven't beaten you with my own hands for many years." You're so good. If you don't believe me, how about I beat two of them now to show you?"
"Why two?"
Fang explained the question.
The old man pursed his lips towards Zhuo Buyi and Shen Qingshan: "I just have it."
Fang Jie rolled his eyes at him: "Can you be more reliable?"
The old man sighed: "Can you respect your elders?"
Fang Jie stood up to leave: "Can't I just leave?"
¡¡
¡¡
"You really don't want to practice with me?"
The old man asked.
Fang Jie stopped and turned around and asked, "If senior just asked me to practice with you, I would like to thank you for your kindness. If senior said these words to me from a height where he thinks he can see through everything, even if I can't defeat you and me, I also want to tell you to go away. I have already experienced the so-called floating dream, how about you try again?"
Fang Jie glanced at the old man provocatively, and the old man couldn't help but sigh: "No one has scolded me for many years, so it feels quite fresh."
He pointed to where Fang Jie was sitting just now: "It's not too late. You can catch up with your team before dark. Even if you don't plan to practice with me, you can always chat with me for a while, right?"
Fang Jie hesitated for a moment and sat down again.
The old man asked Fang Jie: "Do you think I'm a liar?"
Fang Jie shook his head solemnly: "No, you are just a liar. If I guess correctly, the senior is also a member of the Dao Sect, right?"
¡°I-fuck!¡±
The old man couldn't help but cursed: "How bad is Daozong's reputation?"
Fang Jie said seriously: "I have met many people from the Taoist sect, some are highly respected and some are rising stars, but without exception they are all good at lying. When I left the northwest for Chang'an City, I met a fat man on the way. He He told a lot of lies and the only truth was that he was a Taoist priest. Outside Chang'an City, I met a red-robed priest with one eye on his forehead. In order to deceive the people, he even spent all his energy digging a hole to trap a cow Later. I met a high-profile Taoist man again, and he actually deceived me into thinking that he could ascend to heaven. "
The old man was silent for a while: "The first person will definitely achieve great things in the future, the second person is a clown and is not worth mentioning, and the third person is already close to the sky."
Fang Jie was startled, and a wave of emotion suddenly arose in his heart.
The old man was a little disappointed and said: "In terms of talents, the martial arts in the Central Plains has never been short of talent, and there are so many amazing and beautiful people in the Taoist sect. But once a practitioner is involved with utilitarian matters, no matter how amazing the person is, he will become more and more beautiful." The third person you mentioned actually saw it very clearly. When I sat with him on Yiyang Peak and discussed Taoism, he asked me how to make Taoism superior to Buddhism. I said it couldn't be done without sacrifice. Come, he said he was willing to be the sacrificer."
After saying this, the old man shook his head as if he didn¡¯t want to continue talking.
Fang Jie suddenly understood something.
Xiao Yijiu wanted the Taoist sect to surpass the Buddhist sect, so he wanted to control an empire. The reason why the Buddha Sect was respected by everyone outside the Sui Dynasty was because the Buddha Sect was the actual controller of those countries. The Buddha Sect is supreme in the Western Region, and no one can challenge the Buddha's majesty. Because of this, the Buddhist sect has grown larger and larger. Xiao Yijiu wanted Daozong to become the Buddhist sect in the Central Plains, and wanted to make Daozong the best in the Central Plains and even the world, so he chose that path.
Hearing this old man say that he was willing to be a sacrifice, Fang Jie suddenly felt enlightened.
Is Xiao Yijiu a stupid idiot?
no!
Does Xiao Yijiu really believe that Prince Yi Yang Yin will succeed?
no!
Xiao Yijiu is so persistent because he is just obsessed with his dream. He wanted to carry forward Daozong and make Daozong stand tall, so he could only take this path. If the emperor controls the sect, then the sect will always be just a tool in the hands of the emperor. If this tool is not handy, the emperor can replace it with another one. If the sect can control the emperor like the Buddha Sect, then it won't be long before this sect truly becomes the most powerful existence in the world.
How decisive was Xiao Yijiu when he said that I was willing to be the sacrificer?
The good and bad of a person are really different when viewed from different angles.
"Then what?"
Fang explained the question.
"Then he went crazy."
The old man smiled.
"Why are you telling me this?"
Fang explained the question.
"Because I want to advise you to focus on your practice. Once some things are involved, it will be difficult to get out."
The old man pointed to his eyes: "I said that I can see many things that others cannot see."
"What do you think of me, senior?"
Fang Jie asked directly.
The old man was silent, and then said in a strange tone: "You stepped on blood all the way here, and you will walk on blood all the way. If I can't stop you, no one can stop you. What I see is you, There was blood all over him, other people¡¯s blood.¡±
Fang Jie smiled coldly: "It seems like you know me better than I know myself."
"That's because you haven't understood yourself yet."
The old man replied: "There are many mysterious things in this world. You don't believe what I say because you think I am talking nonsense. But have you forgotten how you got here? There is nothing more mysterious than Let¡¯s do this¡¡±
After saying this sentence, Fang Jie's heart suddenly surged!
How did I get here?
Does he know how I got here? !
He couldn't help but look at the old man, trying to see something in his eyes. But the old man's face remained calm and unfazed.
"That's all"
The old man sighed: "Maybe it's destined to be like this, how can I interfere with God's will?"
Fang Jie's expression changed, but he didn't even feel it. There was a flash of red in his eyes.
At this moment, the old man's face suddenly changed. He glanced at the dry well and said with a smile: "I have been guarding this beast for many days, and it has slipped and refuses to be fooled. Now it is restless. It's Because you scared it."
The old man looked at Fang Jie thoughtfully, then suddenly stood up and raised the fishing rod. Fang Jie retreated sharply because he smelled a strong fishy smell. As the fishing line was pulled out of the dry well, a giant python that was more than four feet tall and thicker than a human was thrown into the air by the old man. The bait in the beast's mouth was actually a cow! How much would something so huge weigh? It was actually thrown into the sky by the old man with an ordinary fishing rod.
Fang Jie was shocked and said to himself that no wonder the fishing line was so straight!
The giant python was fished out and thrown into the air, looking like a dragon flying in the sky.
"You go"
The old man waved his hand to the other party: "I have no interest in talking to you anymore. Since you don't plan to practice with me, then you can go on the path you want to take. Just remember don't lose your original intention."
The old man jumped into the air and stepped down on the giant python with his feet. The python moved with more than 10,000 kilograms of force, but when the old man stepped on it, it couldn't break free and fell to the ground, creating a deep hole in the hard ground! In the fierce dust and smoke, the giant python twisted its body back and forth unwillingly, but the old man was like a boat in the wild waves, but he had the upper hand.
Fang Jie looked at this scene, was silent for a while and then turned around and left.
The old man stepped on the python's head and directly trampled the python's head into the soil. He looked back at the young man who was leaving, and couldn't help but said angrily: "You beast, if you don't be more honest, I'll skin you alive." He caught you and took you away pay for it!"
¡¡
¡¡
Half an hour later, the emperor glanced at the huge snake gall in a copper basin on the table in front of him. He was silent for a while and looked at the old man sitting not far away: "Thank you, Master, for taking the trouble. This thing I'm afraid it's older than ten thousand people." The medicine will be more bitter."
"This thing has many miraculous effects and is good for your majesty's health."
The old man said.
The emperor hummed, looked at the snake gallbladder and asked, "Have you seen him?"
"Have seen"
"How do real people see it?"
The emperor raised his head and looked into the old man's eyes.
"very good"
The old man nodded.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine, I don't want to make mistakes."
The old man smiled and said in his heart, damn it turns out that guy was right, people from Daozong are very good at lying
PS: After I finished writing this chapter, I realized that it was almost 4,000 words, but I was still charged at 3,000 words. It can be said that the chapters on the struggle for hegemony are very affordable, at least more than three or four hundred words. It¡¯s so affordable, why don¡¯t you give me a monthly pass?
