5. The Four Qing Religions (5)
"The two Taoist friends gave the opportunity to sanctification to my senior brother back then, and the two of us have always been very grateful for this." My words undoubtedly touched the pain points of Hongyun and Kunpeng, Hongyun is better, Kunpeng's face is so bad that he has a fight with the senior brother who received it.
"However, it would be a pity if the two soldiers met and fought for life and death because of this incident. Moreover, this matter has a great deal to do with me, and we must not sit idly by. Fellow Red Cloud Daoist, you and I have the grace to give up your seat, in other words, you are destined, I don't know if you are willing to join my Western teachings and participate in the wonderful truth with us? I smiled and said Zhun Ti's signature line to Hongyun.
In the world of stories, it is dangerous to do anything to try to change the story, and my words and actions must be in line with the character of Zhun Ti. Attracting people to the West is one of the safest measures.
Besides, Hongyun is a typical good person according to the setting. In other words, he has a very easy-going personality and has no opinions, and often agrees to what others say-just like giving me a seat in Zixiao Palace. But his popularity in the flood is not very good, except for Zhen Yuanzi, he has no friends. I've been through hundreds of stories, and I haven't seen Hongyun have other Zixiao colleagues to help when he was hunted down.
The reason is very simple, because the character of a good man is not liked in the first place. Not being assertive means that he treats everyone without distinction between relatives and distances. Of course, strangers will feel that the Red Cloud Ancient Road is hot, what about friends? It's just going to feel uncomfortable. Especially when he sees anyone who comes to ask Hongyun for help, he will not be able to hold it and agree, and the consequences of agreeing will sometimes even affect friends and even others.
Let's just use Zixiao Palace to give way. If I cry twice, I can make the stranger Hongyun soft-hearted and give way. Then I had an excuse and kicked Kunpeng out of his seat, isn't this a typical case of innocent involvement? Of course, I'm a bit shameless in the story - oh, I dare to be self-deprecating - but what if Red Cloud and Kunpeng are friends? Maybe he said something to Kunpeng, "Pity them all the way from afar, Brother Kunpeng, let's give them the futon." Something like that.
It can be seen that Hongyun has no friends, most of them are self-inflicted.
But on the other hand, as a good old man who has no opinions, he will definitely agree to my invitation-this is the invitation I made as a hybrid saint when I saved his life. I don't believe he would say no.
"Thank you saint for protecting the red cloud, I am grateful!" Hongyun really gave me a deep salute on the spot, and almost knelt down.
"But you can't keep Hongmeng's purple qi." I said again.
"This, this ......"
Hongyun's expression froze on the spot, and Kunpeng looked happy, probably thinking that I was going to give him the purple qi.
"Dao Ancestor has a saying: Nine is the extreme, so under the way of heaven, there are nine holy positions. But he also said: Dao Yan is fifty, and one of them is gone, so the number of Heavenly Dao is only forty-nine. This Hongmeng purple qi corresponds to the 'one who has escaped', and it should not have achieved the saint status. "I began to explain, half speculative, half nonsense. Anyway, "Hongyun died because of Hongmeng Purple Qi" is set, so if he doesn't have Hongmeng Purple Qi, of course he won't need to die. This can only be regarded as a small loophole, and there is no connection with the core of the story.
I came to rescue him in person, firstly, to repay the cause and effect of the year, and secondly, to give the Western Sect a quasi-saint master, which is also very in line with Zhun Ti's style, which is not against the logic of the story.
Of course, I'm afraid that Hongyun, Kunpeng, and the hidden Emperor Juntai won't believe it, and they secretly used the method of confusing the mind, and they did it quietly, so they couldn't help it.
"The two of you think about it, at the beginning, Dao Ancestor distributed Hongmeng purple qi and reminded everyone of the method of sanctification. Only Hongyun Daoyou is here, and Dao Ancestor did not mention a word. Why? Because it is not meant to sanctify. If the Red Cloud Daoist doesn't believe it, he can take out the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and it should immediately return to the Heavenly Dao and never appear again. ”
Hongyun hesitated for a moment, maybe he believed in my authority as a saint, or maybe he had a soft ear, in short, he took out that Hongmeng purple qi. Sure enough, Hongmeng purple qi disappeared on the spot, as if it had evaporated in the air.
Hey, did I get it right by mistake? Originally, I was going to use a trick to fool the red cloud, and then take away the purple qi.
I thought about it for a few moments, and I felt that it was because I was exposed to the fragments of the high-dimensional world and became more and more aware of the principle of story creation.
"This purple qi really has nothing to do with me." Hongyun's face was a mixture of relief and happiness, "Thank you sage for waking up." ”
"Red Cloud Daoist friends don't need to be polite, if you join the sect, we will still be equal." I still looked at him with a smile, and I sensed in my consciousness that Dijun and Taiyi, who were hidden in the clouds, had left.
"So, I'm also tossing for nothing?" Kunpeng's face was a little gloomy, obviously very lost, and even the two wings behind him drooped.
I glanced at him, contemplating what I was going to say to him. After all, Kunpeng didn't take the initiative to give up his seat, and according to Zhun Ti's character, he wouldn't work too hard to help him, and his tone should be grasped well, not salty or light-"Kunpeng Daoyou, you spread the way of cultivation to thousands of demon clans in the past, and you were respected as a demon master. Although I am located in the western region, I also have some admiration for you. But even so, you should know that the innate Dao body is the most in line with the heart of heaven, and the Dao of Perception gets twice the result with half the effort, why has you not changed the form of a beast and provoked ridicule in vain? ”
As soon as these words came out, Kunpeng's face was not good-looking. I think so, after all, it was because of this excuse that I was kicked out of my seat back then. Now that the old things are brought up again, and I have been sanctified again, he doesn't want to mention how aggrieved he is.
But the saint spoke, and he had to answer. I had to open my mouth to explain the matter: "This... Ahem, it's actually because ......"
Why? Kunpeng suddenly paused, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
As soon as I noticed the look of doubt on his face, I felt a familiar feeling of vertigo rush into my mind, exactly the same as when I first met the protagonist Tianxuan in Zixiao Palace.
The dizziness was fleeting, and Kunpeng didn't notice anything unusual at all, and continued: "I couldn't practice the Fa in my early years, and I failed to transform into a form. Later, in order to be vigilant from time to time, he never rerefined back to the innate Dao body, and still maintained this appearance. ”
Heh, am I the only one who feels strange this time?
I smiled bitterly in my heart, what is the reason for the dizziness? Is the author filling the loopholes? The first time seems to be filling in a description of his appearance, and the second time is to remedy the irrationality of Kunpeng's appearance. Sure enough, even if there are loopholes in the story, it must not be pointed out face-to-face, and it must be guided by the situation and won in a roundabout way.
Fortunately, these two loopholes are not big, and it is impossible to destroy the core of the story, otherwise I would have regretted my mouthful.
But on the other hand, the author's ability to remediate vulnerabilities is really not high. Kunpeng barely got through guò this time, and the protagonist Tianxuan did it that time...... I couldn't help but think of the face like an ink painting and the pure white moon-white robe, and my understanding of the author deepened.
"Kunpeng Daoyou, if something happens on a different day, you can take refuge in the West and avoid a death calamity to repay the cause and effect of the Holy Throne." I made a promise to him and returned to the Pure Land of Bliss with the red cloud.
