124. Arrangement
Compared with the domination of other clans, Xiao Jing's inheritance can be described as much simpler. It is done by simply following the "person" to the right place and carrying out the implantation of some kind of power. Therefore, whether it was a few sages, Tang Ling, or Jiutian, they did not show any nervous urging. Instead, after dinner, the successor of the king of the people also left Luoyang, although the "people" went to carry out the inheritance ceremony. Of course, before leaving, the nine days that could not be relieved still told him a thousand times, asking him to take care of himself, must, and so on.
After all, Jiutian, who is arrogant by nature, would show his concern so unabashedly, although this kind of thing is not a thousand-year wonder, it is also a rare occurrence in a hundred years. As for his sister's concern, Xiao Jing, who is easy-going by nature, will not show a bored expression, and only after agreeing to it one by one, he will follow the footsteps of "people" and leave Luoyang.
With the departure of the Sage and the Lord one by one, the cautious atmosphere of the Wind and Cloud King's Mansion has returned to its past, with one exception.
At this moment, in the main hall.
Tang Ling was a little helpless in the face of the nervous Nine Heavens, for a while, even if he was the spirit of creation, his heart was far beyond ordinary people, and he couldn't help but show a feeling of crying and laughing.
"Xiaojing, where are they going to pass it on?"
I don't know how many questions this is, the first time it has been repeated, but the nine days of questioning don't seem to have stopped, causing Tang Ling to solve her puzzles for a whole hour since nightfall.
"Xiao Jing's destination can also be called the holy land of mortals, where the aura of human thoughts is far stronger than in other places, and it is also more pure without the invasion of the other five clans, which is the best place for him to carry out his inheritance. Tang Ling explained, and at the same time, his fingers kept scratching on the round table in front of him, and under the outline of his fingernails, there was a pattern of Taoism on the table.
The gesture stopped slightly, Tang Ling's movements slowed down slightly, stared at the pattern in front of him, and before falling into contemplation, he asked Jiutian: "Earlier, you were dissatisfied with my passing on the title of Fengyun King to Xiao Jing, and asked me more questions. Today, don't you ask me why I made such a decision?"
Jiutian snorted coldly: "You can guess about seven or eight points, you want to train Xiao Jing in order to succeed him smoothly, right?"
"Clever. Tang Ling's fingertips moved again, this time compared to Fang Cai, it was a little faster.
"Let me ask you, do you know what is the biggest difficulty in cultivating the Tao for mortals?"
After a while, Tang Ling's question arose again, and Jiutian replied almost without thinking: "Because they have no foundation?"
"It's not wrong, but it's not all right. Tang Ling's movements did not stop, and he had already denied Jiutian's answer, "The most difficult thing for mortals to cultivate is the environment. The time, the place, and the people are all indispensable, and their roots are unstable and they are easily disturbed by external factors. ”
"Then what do you mean?" Jiutian raised his eyebrows, as if he had sensed Tang Ling's intentions, and in order to confirm what he thought in his heart, he opened his mouth to ask again.
"Although I don't know what happened between your sister and brother - with your ability, Xiao Jing can live a life without worrying about food and clothing, but he should be willing to be ordinary, so he has lived a smooth life for more than ten years, but it has also made him develop a resolute heart and have the conditions to study the way of mortals. ”
Jiutian only felt a pang of discomfort for Tang Ling's tone as if he was in control of the situation, but out of concern for Xiao Jing, she forcibly suppressed the displeasure in her heart and continued to ask: "Then you passed on the title of Fengyun King to him, just to further refine him?"
"For mortals, coercion is not terrible, temptation is the enemy, Xiao Jing succeeded the King of Fengyun, and it is indeed the real difficulty he has to face. ”
Tang Ling's tone was flat, but he once again aroused Jiutian's hostility: "Do you know the consequences of doing this?"
The King of Wind and Cloud was originally named "like the wind and clouds, free and peaceful", but if Xiao Jing succeeds to this position, he is undoubtedly on the cusp of the storm, with the support of Tang Ling's prestige and blood heritage, there are not a few forces to sycophants him, if Xiao Jing, who has no foundation, can't withstand the temptation of the world and loses his nature, this is by no means what Jiutian wants.
"This was originally a test I left for Xiao Jing, after all, with the long river by their side, his path will never go astray. Only after experiencing the ups and downs of life and still maintaining his heart, can he have the qualifications to succeed the king and help you get through the difficulties in the future. Tang Ling paused, "However, I didn't expect that the rest of the sages would be even more impatient on this issue, and even let the 'people' personally inherit him. ”
After hearing this, Jiutian sighed again: "I'd rather he be safe and stay away from the turmoil." ”
"But he wants to be able to advance and retreat with you, and never give up. Otherwise, he would not have acceded to my request, nor would he have decided so easily to take over the throne. Tang Ling stopped sketching in his hand, "You write down the exercise method on the table, and practice more after you go back, it will help your skill progress, and what the future situation will be, none of us can be sure, so we have to prepare in advance to facilitate the response." ”
With that, Tang Ling put his hands behind his back and walked away from the main hall, leaving Jiutian alone, staring blankly at the set of exercises that had just been outlined on the round table in front of him.
Leaving the main hall, Tang Ling did not return to his residence, because "heaven" and "earth" had been waiting for him outside the hall for a long time.
"Ruoxing has already left?" Tang Ling asked.
"I just left, but those 2,000 Heng clan are still being detained by us, so it should be a lesson. "Heaven" replied, "Is that exercise handed over to Nine Heavens?"
"It's been handed over, but whether to practice or not depends on how she chooses. ”
"When are you going to leave Luoyang?" asked Di.
"Tomorrow. ”
"Then we will give you a gift tomorrow. ”
Tang Ling glanced at the "ground" who was not smiling, and his face was full of surprise: "I originally thought that you would not be confined to the world of mortals. ”
"When you enter the countryside, you have to follow the customs. ”
After saying this, "Earth" turned to leave, not changing the slightest bit of his old attitude. Seeing him like this, "Tian" shook his head with a wry smile, and followed without saying a word, leaving Tang Ling standing in place.
After a long time, he let out a sigh: "Do you follow the customs?"
On the other hand.
Ruoxing, who had just been released by the Creation Sage, did not rush straight towards his own clan, but stopped to rest in a forest a hundred miles away from Luoyang, as if waiting for someone. Having just regained his freedom, this member of the Heng clan has long been exhausted from his original high spirits, and his heart has long been uneasy.
I don't know how long it took, a figure in a robe finally appeared in front of him.
