With the two women leading the way and Kong Xuan accompanying them, Shi Shiran and the four of them entered the Palace of Immortality.
When he arrived at the inner hall where guests were being entertained, Shen Lian frowned and said to Kong Xuan, "Ruoxi has already left."
Kong Xuan smiled and said, "I let her go yesterday."
Kui Li was very surprised and Jing Shu was thoughtful. It was really incredible for the two women that Shen Ruoxi's departure could be hidden from Shen Lian.
Of course, this should be because Shen Lian didn't pay too much attention, otherwise he would not be able to hide it, but it was enough to surprise people.
Shen Lian pondered for a moment, then said to Kui Li, "Don't you want to make tea for me? Go with Jing Shu."
Kui Li glanced at Kong Xuan worriedly, and Kong Xuan said calmly: "Go ahead."
When he said this, Kui Li temporarily felt relieved and pulled Jing Shu away who still wanted to watch the show.
Jing Shu looked at Kui Li with resentment and tears in her eyes, but Kui Li didn't care at all.
The hall suddenly became quiet. Shen Lian and Kong Xuan sat quietly, and the atmosphere was stagnant. After a while, Kong Xuancai said: "How about my Immortal Palace?"
Shen Lian said: "Excellent."
Kong Xuandao: "In fact, no matter how good things are, they are just dreams and bubbles. You should know better than me, so I don't understand your approach."
Shen Lian said: "It should have been the beginning of the Long Han Dynasty when you were born. At that time, the world was first divided. There were not many living beings, and there were no human relationships and etiquette. Willfulness was the mainstream. What did a god like you want to do? , just do whatever you want, don’t worry about anything else, right?”
"At that time, this was the norm, and the only thing that could make sense was the fist." He smiled, and continued: "To this day, this truth is still the biggest truth."
Shen Lian's expression was calm, but it was like still water running deep, giving people an unfathomable feeling. He said quietly: "Since you admit this truth, you should understand my approach."
Kong Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "You are indeed the most reasonable. I shouldn't ask you this question."
Shen Lian's demeanor changed and became very gentle, and he said leisurely: "You can't let Ruoxi go without me noticing. Now I probably understand one thing. Even if the Taoist master is detached, he still has ways to interfere in the world. ,Right?"
Kong Xuan sighed and said: "I know that I can't hide this kind of thing from you at all. Although it is my original intention to invite you to the Palace of Immortality, it is also to bring you a message for someone else."
Shen Lian said: "Is the Taoist Master Shangqing behind you?"
Kong Xuan shook his head.
Shen Lian showed a look of understanding and said, "It turns out to be Buddha."
Kong Xuan was surprised and said: "I thought you would think it was the Bodhi Taoist Master. How did you guess the Buddha?"
Shen Lian smiled slightly and said, "After all, we have seen the Bodhi tree."
Kong Xuan looked envious and regretful.
Shen Lian added: "Now I also understand one thing. My method of refining the gods was not done by Master Shangqing Taoist at all. It should have been done by the Buddha who once practiced under the Master Shangqing Taoist. Since he is transcendent, and After practicing the Shangqing method, you can naturally give me the divine refining method, which can probably explain why I can replace Ye Liuyun in the Qingxuan Taoist sect. There has indeed always been a conflict between the Buddha and Taiyi Taoist master. This struggle continued even after they transcended.”
Now that things have happened, Shen Lian finally understands the most critical source of his achievements today. Of course, this does not mean that all his achievements were under the control of the Buddha, but during the struggle between the Buddha and Taoist Master Taiyi, Shen Lian got this opportunity by chance. Until later, he cut off the eternity and solidified this story. Then it can no longer be overturned.
Naturally, there may be interference from other Taoist masters, but the struggle between Buddha and Taiyi Taoist master is the main theme. He, Shen Lian, will get the chance in this complicated struggle and will be more likely than anyone else to become the ninth supreme transcendent.
But one thing he still didn't understand was that the Buddha and Taoist Taiyi were both transcendent, so there was no need to fight.
If we follow the established script, Ye Liuyun should be like him, gradually becoming chaotic and finally transcending. Thus, beings from the same source such as Shangqing Dao Master, Taiyi Dao Master, and Qingdi all became Dao Masters. Since the Buddha had a master-disciple relationship with the Qing Taoist master, why should he be such a bad person
But this doubt can only be solved if he becomes a Taoist master.
Kong Xuan said: "Speaking of which, I also have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to see the realm of 'brightness returns to the sun and the moon, darkness returns to the void'. Of course, I can't reach this point, and naturally I can't bring it to you for the Buddha." talk."
Shen Lian said: "I know, he asked me to repay his karma."
Kong Xuan said: "You can guess it."
Shen Lian said: "Then I have something to say back to him. Shen Lian doesn't owe the Buddha anything."
Kong Xuan was stunned and said seriously: "You can't say this nonsense."
Shen Lian smiled and said, "If I answer this, the Buddha will only be happy."
Kong Xuan was even more difficult to understand, he said: "How to say?"
Shen Lian said: "You will understand after I transcend."
Kong Xuan thought: You are probably too conceited. You owe the Buddha the cause and effect. How can you be transcendent
Shen Lian seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "Here comes the tea."
As expected, Kui Li and Jing Shu came in with tea. The tea smoke curled up and formed the shape of a phoenix in the air. That was because Fengzu had once perched on the ancestral tea tree, leaving a Taoist charm, so the phoenix in Kui Li was really like a phoenix. The cooking of fire stimulates the hidden phoenix breath, which manifests itself in the tea smoke.
Kong Xuan was a little surprised and said: "Why did you come in so quickly?"
Kui Li said: "You didn't mean to let me come in now."
Kong Xuan said: "I didn't say that."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Lian. This guy could actually use fake things to look real in the Palace of the Immortal, making him unable to notice. He was even more disappointed. After Kui Li served tea, he came back to his senses and tasted the treasured ancestral tea, but it didn't taste good.
Shen Lian drank it all in one gulp. It was obviously not tea but beef drink, which made Jing Shu roll her eyes.
She said: "Sister Kuili, if you have something good next time, don't use it to entertain Shen Lian. Give it to me."
Shen Lian smiled and said: "I originally thought of asking Immortal Zhenyuan for a few ginseng fruits to give to you two, but now it seems that I will just give them to Kui Li."
Jing Shu said: "Sister Kuili, please give Shen Lian some ancestral tea to take back."
Kui Li smiled. After Jing Shu's teasing, the atmosphere in the hall became much more relaxed.
Although Shen Lian knew that Ruoxi had left, he was not in a hurry to find her. Instead, he put aside the topic he had just discussed with Kong Xuan and talked about Tao.
Kong Xuan originally thought that Shen Lian would not talk to him about any truly profound enlightenment, but he did not expect that Shen Lian would not shy away from talking to him about Yin and Yang.
The innate five-color divine light is rooted in the five elements, and the five elements are inseparable from yin and yang. By analogy, Kong Xuan, the unparalleled master of the Five Elements Dao, actually gained a lot.
Jing Shu, who was listening in the audience, had a bright light in her eyes. It's just Kuili, but I don't have enough realm. I think it's obscure and difficult to understand, and the gains are not very great.
