Taiyi answered Huwa's question, and asked Huwa: "In the past few months that you have been a guest, the villagers have made so many requests to you that only the gods can make. Now that you have comprehended the Pure Yang Technique, will you be able to cultivate in such a way in the future?"

This is a very real problem, with Huwa's experience in the Shenmu clan, in fact, he is only one step away from becoming the so-called god of the world, and he can easily take this step. He has already learned the details of Yang Hanling's transformation from an ignorant rock antelope to a god in Henglian Mountain, and has also witnessed the century-old worship of the sacred tree by the villagers here.

The tiger baby beheaded a mountain god, severely injured another mountain god and made her swear to leave, and now he has saved a sacred tree, and discussed cultivation with Taiyi, the spirit of the sacred tree. These "people" are the so-called gods, and it is strange to discuss with them about the belief in the gods.

But only with this kind of person can we really discuss clearly, because we can talk about God with "God", and if we discuss it with those people in the world who worship God, there are many questions that cannot be said. In the eyes of the tiger baby, Xiao Shen, Yang Hanling, and Taiyi are certainly not real gods, and he will not worship them like the mountain people.

When someone has the status of a near-god, they often no longer believe in the gods unconditionally like ordinary people, but they hope that the world's belief in the gods will be more religious. This is a very common problem in the world, or what may be called the priest's dilemma.

In the eyes of the world, people who are closest to the gods and can even represent the gods are often the group of people who do not believe in the gods in their hearts. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were the officiants of the ritual, able to communicate with the gods on behalf of mortals and convey the guidance of the gods. If the deity does not exist, or if the worship of the deity does not receive a real, hopeful response, or if the so-called miracle is not a miracle at all. These were known only to the priests, and the higher the priests, the clearer.

Huwa has seen this kind of thing, and he has known it since he was a child. Shan Ye is the patriarch of Lu Village, and he is also the priest who worships the mountain god on behalf of the clan. Later, he became the lord of Shanshui City, and he was also the priest with the highest status in the whole wilderness. Since the tiger baby came to Lu Village, the mountain master has been very clear that the mountain god has been silent. However, the people of the various tribes have not been aware of it, and they still worship the mountain gods as religiously as before.

Of course, the mountain master knew that the mountain god in the wilderness was a good one, but he should also know better than anyone that the so-called mountain god should just be a monk with superb cultivation, and even he was seriously injured. Shan Ye did not tell the sù people about this qiē, and also reminded the patriarch of Huahai Village, Gu Xin. Don't tell the news of the mountain god's silence.

Now Huwa understands that after he was born, the real protector of Lu Village and Shanshui City is Shan Ye, as well as Granny Shui and Gu Xin and others. And the devotion of the barbarian tribe to the mountain god may also be one of the important reasons why the seriously injured mountain god can still gather the power of the original god.

So what kind of gods do people expect in their minds? What kind of gods are they worshiping? What kind of gods can people who are as high as tiger babies in the world become? These are all very intriguing questions.

If the tiger baby is willing, as long as he uses a little means, it is easy to find a place to be a "god", because he has not only realized the pure yang formula. And he knows these doorways very well, so Taiyi asks him such a question.

Huwa replied with a wry smile, "The Shenmu clan didn't treat me as a god, because when they asked me, it was too easy for them to get help. Just like ordinary people deal with each other, there is no need to worship me. ”

Taiyi, who always had endless questions, asked, "What if you ask them to worship, or after you leave?" It will also become the god that future generations look forward to. ”

Huwa groaned: "Don't talk about me, in fact, if you, Mr. Qing, will never appear again, including your disciple Jiu Ling and the golden haired giant lion." In the future, it is possible to become a god worshiped by the people of this place. This is not only the emotion and gratitude for the past, but also the expectation and sustenance in people's minds. We hear legends all over the world that someone has done something in a certain place, and when he leaves, someone realizes that it is a god. ”

Taiyi smiled and nodded: "Yes, many legends are like this, and you and I may also become one of them." But are you going to cultivate in this way, and what do you think about the practice of Shinto in the world?"

The two had been talking for a long time all night, and the sky in the distance around the West Boundary Mountain had become slightly white. The chickens in the village crowed, and the Shenmu people in the six villages had already gotten up, and they were kneeling in the direction of the rising sun under the leadership of the elders, singing the carol in unison. The pious voices of nearly 2,000 people drifted through the valley and, of course, reached the small courtyard.

The tiger baby has an invisible sense, and the description of the essence of plants and trees in front of her has become more vivid, and an invisible aura is condensing outside her body, like an invisible phantom that can be integrated with the form and god. It's like a conversation between a mortal and a god, and the so-called god is asking a mortal about the god.

Huwa replied: "When facing all things in heaven and earth, people should have a heart of awe, gratitude and inquiry, just like the Taoist friends have practiced for 800 years. When facing all things in the world, people should also have sustenance and expectations, and worshiping the gods is actually people expecting themselves to be able to solve the problems they face better. And for you and me, just look at what kind of worship it is.

If you put a cold pig's head on the altar, you will expect to pray to the gods to get all the pigs in the mountain, which is the greatest greed in the world. Shintoism, for the so-called gods, only leaves a guide in the hearts of the world, and for the world, how to view and fulfill their prayers.

I am still observing and thinking about this question, and I cannot answer it yet, and if I have the opportunity in the future, you will ask me again or I will ask you again. But I don't want to be one of the gods I see.

As for the Pure Yang Technique, since it is a cultivation method contained in the origin of the Great Dao, it is not harmful to use it to confirm the cultivation. Even if future generations worship me, it is because of the guidance of the origin of the Dao, not that I myself represent the origin of the Dao. -- That's how I feel now. ”

Taiyi stood up, moved the stone under the seat to the side, and said very seriously and solemnly: "Sir, I want to worship you as a teacher, please don't refuse!" With the words, he had already knelt down in front of the tiger baby.

The tiger baby was stunned, and even forgot for a while and reached out to help. Such a request made him unable not to be shocked, this was the most unexpected one among the so many people he had met and made so many requests since he came to the Western Wilderness!

In terms of age, Taiyi's original body has grown between heaven and earth for 8,000 years, and even the years after the psychic transformation have been 800 years. When Taiyi was psychic and transformed, it was still an era of barbarism in Bayuan. In terms of cultivation, Taiyi has already completed the seven realms and nine transformations, and now he is at the threshold of breaking through the transformation realm, and Huwa is only a monk of the five realms.

In terms of identity, Taiyi is one of the seven evils of Ba Yuan, who became famous a hundred years ago, and the predecessor of Wei Zhen Ba Yuan. He not only participated in the national sacrifice ceremony presided over by Yan Zhao in person, but also made friends with Huwa's master Jiansha when he was young. Such a senior master, if he said that he wanted to accept the tiger baby as an apprentice, it would not be too surprising, but he actually wanted to worship the tiger baby as a teacher.

How could Taiyi, a clever child, not think of this? The request he made was accompanied by divine thoughts, and he asked himself all kinds of doubts in the eyes of the world, and pointed out that these were not the reasons why Huwa refused to accept him as an apprentice.

Huwa just mentioned the "descendants of future generations", so what Taiyi wants to become is his descendants. If this rebirth is successful, Taiyi still has a long life beyond the imagination of the world. The essence of plants and trees is different from people, Taiyi's retreat may be more than ten years, decades or even hundreds of years, if the tiger baby is just an ordinary person, he will not even have the opportunity to see him again.

Therefore, for the people in the world, Taiyi, a child who is not only a person in the past life, but also a person in the future life, and may even appear in the future life a long time ago, where to find him such a suitable successor in the future life?

Taiyi's concept of old age is different from ordinary people in the world. If he knew a person, he probably knew his ancestors and his descendants as well, so it was impossible to stick to the order of the human generation. And he has always been the description and state of mind of a child, and he did not regard himself as an adult in front of the tiger baby. As for the generation of the tiger baby and other people in the world, it has nothing to do with Taiyi, and Taiyi doesn't care.

It is precisely because Taiyi has such an experience and state of mind that he does not care about the level of cultivation of the tiger baby at the moment. Many masters that Taiyi has seen or heard of, such as Jiansha, when the two got acquainted, Jiansha had not broken through the cultivation of the Six Realms, but now he is a master of the Transformation Realm, and his cultivation is far above Taiyi.

Taiyi can even say that now Ba Yuan is a person who is higher in cultivation than him, and there were times when his cultivation was not as good as him. The emperors of the past dynasties, Taihao must have been born before Taiyi's transformation, and Shennong is difficult to verify, but Xuanyuan, Shaohao, and Gao Yangke were all born after Taiyi's transformation, aren't these people qualified to become Taiyi's teachers?

So what Taiyi cares about is only the relationship between him and Huwa. If he can worship the tiger baby as a teacher, it will be a big advantage, all he is worried about is whether the tiger baby will refuse?

The tiger baby adjusted the disease of the original body and answered his confusion, which not only helped him get through the difficulties, but also the virtue of regeneration and the grace of recreation, and it was also the enlightenment and guidance in cultivation. These are often things that only the elders will do for the younger generations, and the tiger baby not only did it, but also did it, then he is the elder in Taiyi's mind. (To be continued......)
