Chapter 553: The Taoist Discusses the Tao
The blood of more than a thousand people made everyone see the horror of Lin Cheng and made everyone understand the inviolability of the dignity of the saint. The monks of the Ruthless Avenue in the Ruthless Tower restrained their attitudes and welcomed the Holy Maiden to come and guide. Their attitude is very respectful, because they cannot afford the price of disrespect.
For a whole day, Suirenxiang walked through the ninety-seven floors of the Ruthless Tower, and the people on each floor of the Ruthless Tower were respectful, even if it was the deacon, even if it was the hall master. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they were very respectful on the surface, and they could take what Suirenxiang casually said as an order to strictly enforce.
At this time, standing on the ninety-seventh floor, Suirenxiang looked at the stairs leading to the ninety-eighth floor, and was still a little timid in his heart. She didn't get carried away by the respect of the first ninety-seven layers.
The Elders' Church, the ninety-eighth floor is where the Ruthless Avenue Elders' Church is located. Unlike the Suiren Clan, the Suiren Clan's Council of Elders is still composed of Heavenly Monarch monks, but the Ruthless Dao Because everyone wants to fight for their own etiquette, there are only thirty-one elders in the Ruthless Dao, and these thirty-one people are the thirty-one Dao powers, including the Ruthless Dao Venerable and the Ruthless Dao Master.
Slowly turning his head to look at Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng nodded slightly with an encouraging look. It seemed to give her a lot of confidence. Suirenxiang took a deep breath and walked up the stairs.
The spiraling staircase made of bluestone still seems calm and lonely, but this calm and lonely seems to be lonely and squeezes everyone's heart, making them involuntarily restrain their edge, and let them involuntarily be cautious.
At the end of the ninety-nine stairs, a stone door slowly opened.
"Welcome to the Presbyterian Church. The Lingmiao Heavenly Monarch stood beside the stone gate with a smile on his face.
"It's a pleasure to see the Spiritual Heavenly Monarch. When I saw my acquaintance here, I naturally smiled on my face.
At this moment, the warm and generous voice of the three ancestors came from the hall: "Welcome the Holy Maiden to the Presbyterian Church." ”
Lingmiao Tianjun stretched out his hand to signal, and Suirenxiang walked into the hall half a step behind in Qianlin City, and saw the three ancestors of the Ruthless Avenue standing up with a smile on their faces.
"Meet the Three Ancestors. Suirenxiang bowed slightly, and Lin Cheng behind him arched his hand.
"The saint is so polite that she seems to be outspoken. The three ancestors smiled faintly and stretched out their hands, Suirenxiang sat down behind a coffee table, Lin Cheng stood behind Suirenxiang expressionlessly, and Lingmiao Tianjun stood behind Sanzu with a smile.
The Elder Church of the Ruthless Avenue is surrounded by thirty-two coffee tables, with the most central coffee table being the largest and the farthest from the sides. According to the rules of the Ruthless Dao, this is the seat of the Ruthless Dao Venerable, but it is clear that the Ruthless Dao Venerable has not participated in the Council of Elders for countless years.
The soft seat behind the first coffee table on the left side of the main seat is the seat of the Ruthless Dao Master, and on the right side is the seat of the Second Ancestor of the Ruthless Dao, the Third Ancestor sits at the bottom of the Ruthless Dao Master's seat, and Suiren Xiang sits at the bottom of the Second Ancestor's seat. The arrangement of the seats also signifies everyone's position on the Inexorable Avenue. Thirty-one of the thirty-two seats were all powerful cultivators, and although Suirenxiang was the only Heavenly Monarch among them, her importance meant that her status in the Ruthless Dao had surpassed that of ordinary preaching.
The Presbyterian Church is not a place for greetings, and the arrival of Suirenxiang today is also more symbolic. Maybe the next time I'll walk here, maybe when.
The last time there was a presbyterian meeting was three years ago, when thirty-one elders came and twenty-two, and at that elder's meeting, it was decided that Suirenxiang would become a saint. And the last time was 10,000 years ago, and that time was because the previous saint failed to forcibly attack the sermon. Prior to this, it was said that it was normal for the Council of Elders not to meet once for thousands of years.
Suirenxiang and the Three Ancestors politely greeted each other, and after a moment, they left the Council of Elders and walked to the ninety-ninth floor. The polite words between the two were just pleasantries, and both understood that they needed to join forces to fight the ruthless Dao Master.
Follow the stairs to the ninety-ninth floor. It was still a bluestone gate, and the gate slowly opened.
No one greeted them, and the two of them walked into the hall and saw the figure of the ruthless Dao Lord on the throne in the center opposite gradually condensed.
"I am very pleased that the Holy Maiden has finally appeared again in the Ruthless Avenue for 10,000 years. The ruthless Dao Master stood up, and although the smile on his face was indifferent, it was also sincere.
Stretching out his hand to help the two of them sit on the seats next to them, the ruthless Taoist master also stepped down from the high platform to be beside Suirenxiang. Glancing lightly at Lin Cheng who was standing behind Suirenxiang, the ruthless Dao Lord smiled and said, "The first person of the Heavenly Monarch really deserves his name. This time my meeting with the Holy Maiden is not a formal occasion, and you are entitled to sit next to it. ”
"Thank you, Master. Lin Cheng arched his hand and sat on the other side of the flint incense.
The Ruthless Daoist nodded slightly, took out the teacup and tea set to make a pot of tea, and then put two cups of water in front of the two of them. He sighed slightly and showed a leisurely look, and after a while, he restrained his emotions and asked the two of them with a smile: "What do you think of the taste of my bitter tea?"
Suirenxiang took a sip and put down the teacup and said bluntly: "It's not bitter, it's squeezed by the fresh aroma and the bitter taste." But tea is very average. ”
The Ruthless Dao Lord shook his head: "Holy Maiden, this is saving me face. It can't be said to be very ordinary, to be exact, it is the worst of the tea that the monks drink. Or rather, even among mortals, it is a very ordinary tea. ”
The Ruthless Dao Master also took a sip of tea carefully, raised his head and said, "The Ruthless Dao is ruthless to others, but it is still affectionate to himself. The tea leaves of this bitter tea are plucked from a tea tree that is more than 300 million years old. This tea tree grows right where I was born. When I was a child, my parents died young, and it was my grandfather who picked these tea leaves and sold them to support me. Later, when I returned to my birthplace after completing my cultivation, my grandfather was gone, and the old tea tree had withered. The last time we were driven out of our Ancient Homeland, I didn't organize a retreat from my fellow disciples when the decline was already very obvious, but ran out alone for two years to return to my hometown, where I found a bitter tea tree. Although it is no longer the one I remember, it still tastes like my hometown. ”
Lifting the teacup and taking a sip, the ruthless Taoist said sincerely: "I want to return to my hometown, my body is deeply imprinted with the traces of my hometown. But I can't forget the pain of being forced to leave my hometown, so I can't go back to my hometown. I am sincerely pleased that there is a new saint, but I was a little too cautious about the selection of saints at the beginning, and I hope that the saints will understand. Because I know that many people have forgotten that pain, and many people just think that one day if you are the bridge of the ruthless avenue, they can talk to the people who forced them away. That's what they think, and that's what I can't tolerate. ”
In the end, the ruthless Dao Master looked calmly into Suirenxiang's eyes.
"Everyone is independent, has his own thoughts, his own will, and his own desires. Suiren Xiang looked directly at the Ruthless Dao Lord without giving in, and said, "In the case that everyone in the Ruthless Dao only cares about themselves, the will of the Dao Lord will not and cannot completely become the will of all or most people in the Ruthless Dao. Whether it is a Dao Master or someone who has a different will from the Dao Master, the result of imposing one's will on others is to divide the Ruthless Dao again. ”
The Ruthless Dao Lord said with a look of approval in his eyes, "Then where are the people who split off from the Ruthless Dao now?"
The flint incense looked stunned.
Those who split off from the Ruthless Dao eventually disappeared from everyone, and the sect they established had disappeared into the long river of history. And adhering to the ruthless avenue that is ruthless to heaven and earth, but has affection for oneself, is still strong today. The 32 seats of the Council of Elders are the most powerful proof of this.
"Being a bad person everywhere, following the rules that most people follow everywhere, the end result is just, and can only be, unto everyone. Besides, the Holy Maiden has been in contact with the ancient homeland, and has also been in contact with the Ruthless Dao, do you think it is the people of your Suiren Clan who are happy or the people of the Ruthless Dao who are happy?"
Fusilier was silent again.
In fact, as far as she knew, although it was deserted inside the mountain gate of the Ruthless Dao, the people of the Ruthless Avenue only returned to the mountain gate when they were cultivating, and most of them were distributed all over the Ruthless Continent, and they were very happy. Maybe the next moment they will die, but this moment they are happy.
"Let a person who has been hurt and even has to cut off his deepest affection, and make such a person happy, even happier than your Suiren clan. This is the Ruthless Avenue!"
The words of the ruthless Dao Lord were unequivocal.
Lin Cheng and Suirenxiang were silent. This is the Ruthless Avenue, and such words make them deafening, and even have some feelings of joy and sincerity.
"Most of the disciples of the Ruthless Dao have no tomorrow and no future in their minds, all they think in their hearts is that I am happy now. I don't have to worry about whether others are happy or not, I'm happy now. And for those who didn't think about tomorrow and didn't think about the future, now they have formed an incomparably powerful sect. The thirty-two seats of the Elders' Council downstairs are thirty-one preaching, and this kind of strength is the top force in both the ancient homeland and this world. Even the thirty-one sermons in the Ancient Homeland are only second only to the Temple of Destruction, far more than the Suiren clan you were born into. Why is this? They didn't think about tomorrow or the future, they only thought about being happy now, but they forged the incomparably powerful strength of the Ruthless Avenue now. ”
Lin Cheng and Suirenxiang continued to be silent.
"Let's talk about the Temple of Destruction. Most of the people in the Temple of Destruction are flamboyant and decisive, and they even have the concept of destroying the world. Their reputation in the Ancient Homeland is not good, but they are the most powerful sect in the Ancient Homeland, and they are also the sects that have existed for a long time. What's the reason for that?"
The Ruthless Dao Lord stared at Suirenxiang with blazing eyes and said word by word: "This is because they are not obsessed with everyone, and their practices are beyond the rules of the world. That's why they exist. If they lose these results, they will also decay, even if they have a complete Dao lineage. ”
"A person who truly has a mind and a soul will not be obsessed with everyone. And what everyone sees will inevitably demonize him, just like the current ruthless avenue. ”
"Anything exists under the way of heaven, and everything can be explained from different angles, but we just grasp the more extreme truth. But remember, if you follow all the rules, you will lose all your happiness and you will be bound by everything. The monk's own practice is a predator, plundering the aura of heaven and earth and plundering the resources of heaven and earth. There is no need for the Ruthless Way to whitewash the rules of the world, because the goal of the monk himself is to transcend the rules. ”
