The old man glanced at Fang Jie's gradually clenched fist, and said calmly and seriously, "You can't beat me."
Fang Jie was silent, then nodded, "It looks like it."
"So there's no need to fight at all, you can think of it this way..."
The old man smiled and said: "You are curious about what I am doing, and I am curious about what you, who suddenly appeared, want to do. Of course you are politely curious, but I am impolitely curious. If you need me to apologize I'll apologize if you want to fight, and I'll beat you up if you want to fight."
Facing such an unreasonable old man who seemed to be reasonable, Fang Jie's previous anger dissipated quite a bit.
"Even if what you say makes sense."
Fang Jie didn't call him senior again: "Then, out of fairness, you used your own means to satisfy your curiosity, shouldn't it be time to satisfy my curiosity as well?"
The old man hummed: "Except for taking off my clothes, you can do whatever you want."
Fang Jie suddenly felt chills, thinking that old disrespect must be this type.
"Who are you?"
Fang asked.
"Just now you called me senior, because I offended you and started calling you directly. You are really not peaceful enough... But since you called me senior, I don't care about it like you. After all, my cultivation base is better than yours. Gao, I'm older than you, so I don't care about you. If you ask me who I am... I won't tell you."
When he said this, the expression on his face was... If you have the ability, come and hit me, the key point is that you still can't beat me.
Fang Jie lowered his head and glanced at the square character on the ground, but there was still no change: "What kind of method was that just now?"
The old man was obviously disappointed when he saw that Fang had changed the question and didn't get angry, but when he thought about it, this guy was interested in his method and immediately felt a little proud. Rao has experienced too many ups and downs and vicissitudes, and he still hasn't changed his temper until now.
"As I said just now, it's a floating dream. No one else in the world knows this skill except me. Do you want to learn it?"
He is waiting for Fang to explain that he wants to learn, and then he can confidently say that he will not teach you.
Fang Jie shook his head: "I don't want to."
"Why?"
the old man asked in surprise.
"If a person's mind is peaceful and pure, this method can help many people. If a person has too many distracting thoughts in his heart, he will use this method to harm others. If a person has too many selfish thoughts in his heart, he can neither help nor harm others. It will only let myself sink in and find it difficult to extricate myself. I know my own nature. Some temptations can be resisted once but not the second time. If you bite the tip of your tongue, it will hurt, and if you fall into illusion, you will die."
"interesting."
The old man looked at Fang Jie curiously: "It's been a long time since I met such an interesting young man like you... I said before that you haven't seen me because you haven't seen me, do you understand now? I asked you just now But I didn't intend to explain anything to you, now I think you are an interesting person, so you don't want to listen to me, so I have to talk."
"Why?"
Change the solution to ask.
"I'm really old, I'm actually reasoning with a young man..."
The old man seemed a little annoyed, and after talking to himself, the other party explained: "I have heard your name before and heard other people's evaluations of you, but the guy who mentioned you to me has a bad cultivation and bad eyesight. It's even more infuriating. It's a shame that I have taught such a stupid apprentice in my life... I want to tell you now because I have a crush on you, and I still lack a close disciple. Are you interested?"
After saying this, before Fang Jie could answer, he immediately shook his head again: "No, no, it seems that I have accepted a closed disciple more than ten years ago, and I said at that time that he was the last disciple I accepted. Bah! Calling you cheap... I regret it."
Fang Jie really couldn't get angry with this kind of person, he shook his head helplessly: "Senior, have you played enough?"
The old man froze for a moment, then pointed to his eyes and asked Fang Jie: "Do you believe that I can see through the way of heaven? Do you believe that I can see the future of people?"
Fang Jie wanted to shake his head and say he didn't believe it, but he nodded in a strange way.
The old man looked at Fang Xie in silence for a while, and suddenly his face became solemn: "I said you couldn't see me because you were concentrating on looking at other things. You already have a direction in your heart, and you can't help but go to the direction you choose. So you can’t see other directions, you can’t see other options. If I am willing to accept you as an apprentice, are you willing to let go of the direction you chose to practice with me? If you nod, I can give you pointers A bright road."
"How bright?"
Fang asked.
"Have you ever beaten a ninth-grade practitioner?"
the old man asked.
Fang Jie shook his head: "Of course not."
The old man tempted: "It's very fun, you will be addicted after beating one... If you are willing to practice with me, how about I take you to bully ninth-rank practitioners every day in the future? But then again, I haven't beaten myself for many years. Damn, if you don't believe what I say, how about I beat you two now and show you?"
"Why two?"
Fang asked.
The old man pouted towards Zhuo Buyi and Shen Qingshan: "It happens."
Fang Jie rolled his eyes at him: "Can you be more reliable?"
The old man sighed: "Can you respect the old man?"
Fang Jie got up to leave: "Can't I go?"
…
…
"You really don't plan to practice with me?"
the old man asked.
Fang Jie stopped and turned around and asked, "If senior just let me practice with you, I would like to thank you for your kindness. If senior said these things to me from a height that he thinks he can see through everything, even if I can't beat you and me I also want to scold you to get out. I have already experienced the so-called floating dream, why don't you try again, senior?"
Fang Jie glanced at the old man provocatively, and the old man couldn't help but sigh: "It's been many years since anyone scolded me, so it feels quite fresh."
He pointed to where Fang Jie was sitting just now: "It's not too late, you can catch up with your team before dark, even if you don't plan to practice with me, you can chat with me for a while, right?"
Fang Jie hesitated for a moment, then sat down again.
The old man asked Fang Jie, "Do you think I'm a liar?"
Fang Jie shook his head solemnly: "No, you are a liar. If I'm not wrong, senior is also a member of Taoism?"
"Fuck!"
The old man couldn't help but swear: "How bad is Daozong's reputation?"
Fang Jie said seriously: "I have met many people from the Taoist sect. Some are highly respected, some are rising stars, but without exception, they are all good at deceiving people. When I left the northwest to Chang'an City, I met a fat man on the way. He He has told a lot of lies and the only truth is that he is a Taoist. Outside the city of Chang’an, I saw a red-robed priest with one eye on his forehead. When I saw a Daoist with a great status, I even deceived myself into thinking that he could ascend to heaven."
The old man was silent for a while: "The first person will surely achieve great things in the future, the second person is a clown and nothing worth mentioning, and the third person... is already in the sky."
Fang Jie was startled, and a wave of turmoil suddenly appeared in his heart.
The old man was a little disappointed and said: "In terms of talents, there is never a shortage of martial arts in the Central Plains, and there are as many amazing people in Taoism. Once a person who can practice is involved in utilitarian matters, no matter how amazing people are, they will become more and more talented. It’s getting weaker and weaker. The third person you mentioned actually sees it very thoroughly. When I sat on Yiyang Peak and discussed Taoism with him, he asked me how to make the Taoist sect surpass the Buddhist sect. I said that I can’t do it without sacrifice He said he was willing to be the one who sacrificed."
After saying this, the old man shook his head as if he didn't want to continue talking.
Fang Jie suddenly understood something.
Xiao Yijiu wanted Taoism to surpass Buddhism, so he wanted to control an empire. The reason why Fozong can be respected outside the Great Sui Dynasty is because Fozong is the actual controller of those countries. Fozong is supreme in the Western Regions, no one can challenge the prestige of Fozong. Because of this, the Buddhist sect has become bigger and bigger. Xiao Yijiu wanted Daozong to become the Buddhist sect in the Central Plains, and wanted Daozong to become the number one in the Central Plains or even the number one in the world, so he chose that path.
Hearing the old man say that he was willing to be the one who sacrificed, Fang Jie's heart suddenly brightened.
Is Xiao Yijiu a fool
no!
Does Xiao Yijiu really believe that Prince Yi Yang Yin will succeed
no!
Xiao Yijiu is so persistent because he is only clinging to his dream. He wanted to carry forward the Dao Sect, and wanted the Dao Sect to stand on top of the sky, so he could only go this way. If the emperor controls the sect, then the sect will always be just a tool in the emperor's hands. If this tool is not in hand, the emperor can change it. If the sect can control the emperor like the Buddhist sect, it won't be long before this sect will truly become the most powerful existence in the world.
How decisive was Xiao Yijiu when he said that he was willing to be a sacrificer
A person's good and bad are really different when viewed from different angles.
"Then what?"
Fang asked.
"And then he went crazy."
The old man smiled.
"Why are you telling me this?"
Fang asked.
"Because I want to advise you to focus on your practice. Once some things get involved, it will be difficult to get out."
The old man pointed to his eyes: "I said that I can see many things that others cannot see."
"How do seniors see me?"
Fang Jie asked directly.
The old man was silent, and then he said in a strange tone: "You walked all the way on the blood, and you will walk on the blood all the way. If I can't stop you, no one can stop you. I saw you, There was blood all over him, other people's blood."
Fang Jie sneered and said, "It seems that you know me better than myself."
"That's because you don't know yourself yet."
The old man replied: "There are many mysterious and mysterious things in this world. You don't believe what I said because you think I am talking nonsense. But have you forgotten how you came here? There is nothing more mysterious and mysterious than Here it is... "
Saying a word, Fang Jie's heart suddenly became turbulent!
How do I come here
He knows how I came? !
He couldn't help looking at the old man, trying to see something in the other's eyes. But the old man's face was still calm and calm.
"That's all."
The old man sighed: "Or it is destined to be so, how can I interfere with God's will?"
Fang Jie's complexion changed, but he didn't even feel it. There was a flash of red light in his eyes.
At this moment, the face of the old man also changed suddenly. He glanced at the dry well and said with a smile: "I have guarded this beast for many days, and it has slipped and refused to be fooled. Now it is restless, is it Because you scared it."
The old man glanced at Fang Jie meaningfully, then suddenly stood up and raised the fishing rod. Fang Jie retreated sharply, because he smelled a strong fishy smell. As the fishing line was pulled out of the dry well, a giant python over four feet thicker than a human was thrown into the air by the old man, and the bait that the animal was biting was actually a cow! How much would something so massive weigh? It was thrown into the sky by the old man with an ordinary fishing rod.
Fang Jie's face turned pale with shock, and he thought to himself that it's no wonder the fishing line is stretched so straight!
The giant python was caught and thrown into the air, it looked like a dragon flying in the sky.
"You go."
The old man waved his hand at the other party: "I'm not interested in talking to you anymore. Since you don't plan to practice with me, then you can go the way you want to go. Just remember... Don't lose your heart."
The old man soared into the air, stepped on the giant python with both feet and stepped down. The python moved with more than 10,000 jin of strength, but the old man couldn't break free and fell to the ground, smashing the hard ground into a deep hole! In the violent dust and smoke, the giant python twisted its body back and forth unwillingly, but the old man had the upper hand like a boat in the raging waves.
Fang Jie watched this scene, was silent for a while, then turned and left.
The old man stepped on the python's head, and directly stepped on the giant python's head into the soil. He glanced back at the young man who had left, and couldn't help but slightly angrily said, "If you are dishonest, you will be skinned alive. I caught you and left him... I lost it!"
…
…
Half an hour later, the emperor glanced at the huge snake gall in a copper basin on the table in front of him, and looked at the old man sitting not far away in silence for a while: "Thank you for your trouble, this thing... I'm afraid it's better than Wan Lao's." The medicine should be more bitter."
"This thing is very effective, it is good for your majesty's body."
said the old man.
The emperor hummed, looked at the snake gall and asked, "Have you seen him?"
"I've seen it."
"How do real people see it?"
The emperor raised his head and looked into the old man's eyes.
"very good."
The old man nodded.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine, I don't want to be fooled."
The old man smiled, and said in his heart, so the guy was right, Daozong people are very good at deceiving...
