As long as you cultivate to become an immortal Buddha, you can not be a thief.

Pan Long thought about this question very seriously.

Cultivating to become an immortal Buddha is no longer an unattainable thing for him. As long as there are no accidents, it will be as short as twenty or thirty years, and as long as hundreds of years, he will definitely be able to cultivate into an immortal Buddha.

This means that it is really possible for him to get rid of the fate of the Pan family since its establishment, get rid of the crisis that he must not share with the Great Xia Emperor because of his possession of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and walk in the sun as a "Wenchao heir" in a dignified manner.

This identity is quite remarkable, not to mention far away, as long as he can prove that he is the successor of Wenxiang, he can become the leader of the Shenji Battalion.

The Great Xia Emperor was a descendant of Emperor Wu, and he was the descendant of Wenxiang, and the Great Xia Dynasty was established by these two people.

As long as he does not raise the flag and rebel, the Great Xia Emperor will definitely grant him many honors and extremely high status, and it is even very likely that he will be crowned a free king and so on.

Pan Long didn't care about the throne, but ...... If he didn't need to rebel and could live a peaceful life in peace and stability, of course he didn't want to be a professional thief.

He doesn't really have a backbone in the back of his head, and if he can't afford to live with anyone, he won't feel comfortable......

So, give up the road of anti-thieves, concentrate on cultivation, recruit friends after achieving immortal Buddhas, have a showdown with the Great Xia Dynasty, and completely wash your name?

He closed his eyes and recalled what he had seen and heard in the rivers and lakes over the years.

Yongzhou, which is full of bandits, Yizhou, where there is a deep rift between the family and the imperial court, the poor and difficult people of Yunzhou, the headless Weisheng wooden stake on the bank of the Tongtian River in Jingzhou, and Qingzhou, where the contradictions are becoming increasingly intensified because of the law change......

The teacher who indulges in pleasure but never forgets his origins and takes the overthrow of the Great Xia Dynasty as his highest goal, the remnants of Wen Chao, who has been planning in the dragon slaying treasure for thousands of years and has always wanted to correct Zhao Sheng's mistakes, and the hundred schools of thought who silently lick their wounds and accumulate strength......

Can you really be a rich and noble immortal Buddha with peace of mind and ignore those human sufferings?

As a descendant of Confucianism, who has inherited the treasure of dragon slaying, can he really be a free king with peace of mind?

Of course, even if he wants to rebel, he will definitely wait for the results of Di Luonan's reform to come out.

If the result of the reform is good, Daxia can regain his strength and return to the era when the politics were clear and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment at the beginning of the establishment.

But if the change fails, or the effect of the change is not ideal, will it be possible to watch the situation in Great Xia go further down, or even eventually fall into the quagmire?

Someone has to come out and set things right!

In the system of the Great Xia Dynasty, Di Luonan was already the best candidate. What he can't do, even if he changes to "Wen Xiang Legend", it won't have a better effect.

If you want to correct the various problems accumulated by the Great Xia Dynasty for thousands of years, at the very least, you must cut through the false prosperity shown by this behemoth, expose the rot inside, drain the pus from the wound, and clean up the carrion, and then you can cure the disease and save people.

This may not be done through a big war that swept Kyushu, but at least there must be a process of raising the banner of righteousness, breaking the Beijing division, and changing the dynasty.

Only in that process can the various old forces of the Great Xia Dynasty be reshuffled, so that those silverfish and poisonous snakes who have been entrenched in the big tree of the Great Xia Dynasty for a long time, frantically absorbing the people's fat and people's ointment, can they be re-released from the wealth and resources they occupy, and promote the whole society to return to the track of benign development.

War is a must!

Since this is the case, then you must have a completely defensible identity at that time, so that the whole world and even future generations are blameless.

The identity of the Confucian heir plus the Wenchao heir is of course very good, but if you add the descendants of the former commander of the forbidden army, who have been in charge of the Classic of Mountains and Seas for thousands of years, and are wary of the identity of the descendants of the Pan family who have gone astray in Great Xia, it will be even more perfect.

The key is that the identities of Confucian heirs and Wenchao heirs are both acquired, and only the identity of the descendants of the Pan family is innate.

Innate identity will have a strong sense of fatalism and be able to convince more people.

Suddenly, he was slightly stunned and thoughtful.

Destiny?

As a traverser, he was born in the Pan family, is there really no "fate" factor behind this?

He already knew that there was a higher level of existence in this world than the Immortal Buddha - in the Dragon Slaying Treasure at the beginning, the god and demon summoned by Wen Chao's remnant through the ritual could resurrect people who had been dead for a few years, this kind of thing was something that no Immortal Buddha could do.

Pan Long also asked the teacher about this question, and the teacher said with certainty at that time: "Above the immortal Buddha, there are other gods and demons. But immortals and Buddhas can be sought, gods and demons...... Even the immortals and Buddhas don't know what kind of existence they are. Perhaps, as the myth says, they are born from nature and are not beyond the reach of us acquired beings. ”

Since there really are gods and demons, Zhao Sheng, Wen Chao and their own crossing, and even their own identities, could it be that they arranged it?

Why did they arrange this?

Pan Long couldn't figure it out.

But when he thought about it, the gods and demons born from heaven and earth, God knows what these guys look like, whether they are humans, ghosts or monsters, it is normal, even if it is a giant panda or a bug, or even an indescribable thing...... It's not surprising at all.

Thinking about the ideas that exist, this idea is not reliable.

Can a person understand the aesthetics of a jellyfish?

Maybe he can study art, but he certainly can't do it as a science student.

Since you can't do it, you don't have to think about it so much.

Regardless of whether his background is deliberately arranged by the gods and demons, he came to this world and experienced these things, and he did what he had to do.

is like a saying that often appeared in the European and American cultural circles in my previous life: What fate is, it does not hinder my free will. My future is up to me. If you say it's fate, it's the result of my own outcome.

This term was particularly popular during the era of the Great Federation, and there have been many films and television works on this theme.

Pan Long remembers a work called "The New King Arthur", in which when King Arthur was seriously injured and about to die, the witch appeared and told him: "Your birth, your life, was completely arranged by the evil magician Merlin, and you are just his puppet." ”

King Arthur, who could not even see what was in front of him, replied: "I see England in war, and I see the people in misery. I wanted to change all that, I fought for it, and I ended up dying for it. Even if someone arranges it behind me, this is my choice, and I have no regrets. ”

That part was shot with great sensationality, all kinds of reminiscence shots, lighting, music, ...... There was no dissatisfaction and sadness, and even Pan Long, a rough man, couldn't help but burst into tears. Even after hundreds of years, he still remembers this plot clearly.

Although it was only a fictional story, he was in favor of the idea.

Even if fate arranges it, I want to do it, and I do it, then I don't regret it!

He let out a long breath, his eyes growing more determined.

"I figured it out. "There are always things that need to be done." Not for the mission of the family, nor for the will of the ancestors, but just ...... I want to do that, that's all. ”

Pan Shou and Pan Lei were silent, and after a long time, Pan Shou nodded and laughed twice.

"That's fine. He said, "Actually, before I first spoke, I was really a little unsure. I want you to live a safe and happy life, but I don't want to give up on my family's mission...... I always feel very uncomfortable to give up something that I have held on to for thousands of years. ”

"I'm glad you made the choice!"

Pan Shou's face, which looked middle-aged, but had a clear sense of old age between his eyebrows, was full of relief and comfort.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pan Lei persuaded: "Dad, in my opinion, this is a great change that has not been encountered in a thousand years. The mission of our Pan family...... Success or failure may be between a hundred years. If you push harder, you might be able to see the results. ”

Pan Shou naturally understood what he meant, and suddenly hesitated.

Although Pan Lei and his wife had also persuaded him many times before, he would sit in the Pan family's "Beast Refining Hall", so as to obtain an immortal body. But what he never forgot was to be buried in a small garden with his deceased wife - after living for so many years, he had already lived enough. The kindness that should be repaid, the revenge that should be avenged, the debt that should be settled, and the fate that should be paid...... Almost everything has been dealt with clearly, and future generations are fighting again, and they can really die with peace of mind.

But at this moment, being persuaded by his son, he couldn't help but think of the only thing he couldn't let go.

The mission of the Pan family.

This mission has been passed down for thousands of years, and it has gone through generations of Pan family. Now I see the opportunity to blossom and bear fruit, as my son said, success or failure is a hundred years.

And "100 years" is stuck on a very delicate number.

With his cultivation, if he didn't go to the "Beast Refining Hall", he would never be able to live for another hundred years. No matter how you prolong your life, seventy or eighty years is the limit.

As soon as he thought that it might be just a little bit closer, he couldn't see the end of the Pan family's thousand-year mission, and he was suddenly a little unwilling.

Such an unwilling one broke his already calm mentality.

He hesitated for a while, then finally sighed and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then after Ah Long gets married, our family will start to arrange the Beast Refining Hall." When the time comes, I will sit in the Beast Refining Hall and wait to see the result. ”

Pan Lei and Pan Long's father and son glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile.

As long as Grandpa is willing to go to the Beast Refining Hall, the rest will be easy to do.

As for people, the most feared thing is that he has no desires and no desires, and his mind is full of only thoughts about death - no one can do anything about this situation.

But as long as he doesn't want to die for the time being, sits down peacefully, and finds something to pass the time, it will be easy to develop hobbies.

With hobbies, he can find joy in life. With fun, he naturally didn't want to die.

For Pan Shou, the biggest problem is nothing more than that he feels that he has lived enough in his life and that it is time to go underground to accompany his wife. But in fact, his wife's grave has always been there, and if he wants to accompany his wife, it is not impossible to be next to the grave, who stipulates that companionship must be buried?

If you can help him develop a hobby over the years, maybe he will be able to accept this choice.

Of course, Pan Long would definitely arrange the Pan family's Beast Refining Hall next to the small garden where his grandmother was buried, and even adjust the formation so that the "Immortal Spring" as the eye of the formation was located in the small garden. When the time comes, grandpa will be able to prolong his life and accompany him, and he will definitely be satisfied!

The outcome of this discussion can be described as a happy one. Although everything was just an idea and did not really fall into practice, the direction was clarified, the problem was solved, and the biggest difficulty facing the Pan family was swept away.

In the parlance of another world, it is probably "this is a successful conference ......".

After returning to Guangling City and resting for a night, Pan Long came to Yitian Villa again to visit Qionghua Pavilion and others.

According to the wedding ceremony, before getting married, it was inconvenient for him to go to the martial arts, and if he wanted to understand the situation, he could only come to Qionghua Pavilion.

It's a pity that it didn't come by chance, the masters of Qionghua Pavilion went out a few days ago.

"Do you know where they went?" asked Pan Long.

The one who stayed behind to guard Qionghua Pavilion was an old helmsman who was quite familiar with him, although his martial arts were not high, his qualifications were extremely old. Back then, when Qionghua Pavilion was still the "Qionglou Sect Yitian Courtyard", he was already a disciple of the Qionglou Sect, and the entry was even before Wu Jixing and others.

Although he is only an outer disciple, he has not obtained the true inheritance, and he has not entered the lineage, but after so many years, he has barely cultivated to the innate level - but in the innate he belongs to the bottom of the list, and the elders of the Pan family who are about to reach the end of their longevity and rely on the longevity elixir to temporarily rejuvenate themselves, thus breaking through the innate realm.

The realm is there, but the force is only about the same as the peak of the day after tomorrow, and it may not even be able to beat some talented people in the peak of the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, when Qionghua Pavilion makes a big move, it is usually this old helmsman who is in charge.

Wu Jixing also has a lot of respect for this "uncle", not only is there never a shortage of various treatments, but he is always commensurate with his uncle - in fact, the seniority between the inner and outer doors of the Qionglou faction is counted separately, and the seniority of the outer disciples has nothing to do with the inner door, only when you transfer from the outer door to the inner door, you can get the seniority of the inner door, before that, strictly speaking, it is just the "same door".

Under normal circumstances, the inner and outer doors are mostly proportionate to the age. The inner disciples are politely brothers, and some of the outer disciples are called little uncles and so on...... Like Wu Jixing and the old helmsman, it is extremely rare for the inner disciples to call the outer disciples their uncles.

The old helmsman is also extremely loyal to Wu Jixing - at his age, there is nothing to pursue, the only thing he cares about is dignity and face.

Wu Jixing gave him exactly this.

Therefore, he is ready to die for Qionghua Pavilion and Wu Jixing at any time, and he will not hesitate at all.

Wu Jixing also trusted him very much, and never hid anything from him in the gang. For example, he knew the goal of the operation.

"Recently, there have been big demons fighting for territory in the South China Sea, and there is news that the losing side has fallen offshore. The old helmsman said, "Now don't talk about Guangling, most of the black and white masters in Yangzhou have gone to sea to find this defeated and fleeing demon." Our Qionghua Pavilion is naturally no exception. ”
