Chapter 482: No merit and no fame

Views:

My eyes were closed, and I was really sleepy, but somehow I couldn't fall asleep.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Anning made a move, but she would not fulfill her wish. She just stretched out her hand and held it with him.

After only holding it for a moment, Nanfeng let go, "No, stay away from me."

Yuan Anning shook his head helplessly, stood up with his arms raised, and took off his clothes.

"What are you doing?" Nanfeng asked with a smile.

Yuan Anning glanced at him and didn't stop.

"I asked you to stay away from me not because I was angry, but because I was worried that I would be so sleepy that I could lose you accidentally." Nanfeng said with a smile.

Yuan Anning was already shy. Hearing Nanfeng's words made him feel embarrassed. She kicked him, turned over and lay down, and ignored him.

Nanfeng laughed proudly and stretched out his hand to harass. Yuan Anning moved to the right, not letting him touch.

"The spiritual energy in my body is so majestic and vast now. If it is not restrained, it is like a tiger without restraint. I am afraid that I will hurt you while I am half asleep and half awake." Nanfeng said.

Hearing Nanfeng's words, Yuan Anning turned around and leaned on his side, "I know."

"My cultivation is not achieved step by step. It surges all of a sudden and I am not yet able to control it skillfully." Nanfeng said again.

"This is exactly what I'm worried about." Yuan Anning said softly. Others have an improvement process in practicing qi. During the improvement process, they gradually become familiar with the control. However, Nanfeng has leapt through the ranks and has been directly promoted to the great level from the Earth Immortal. Luo, he has been sharpening his sword for ten years, but he has never tried the sword in the process. Suddenly it is unsheathed, and even the person who forged the sword may not know how sharp the sword is.

"I am in danger now." Nanfeng said.

Yuan Anning didn't answer immediately. Nanfeng's words had three meanings: he was worried about not being able to fully control his own abilities, he was also worried about his change of mentality at this time, and he was at a high place and might suffer at any time. The tension of others plotting.

After pondering, Yuan Anning said, "The change comes too suddenly, and it always takes time to adapt and get used to it."

"What I lack most right now is time," Nan Feng frowned slightly, "Sealing the Three Realms will have too great an impact. The longer it is delayed, the more serious the consequences will be."

Yuan Anning knew why Nanfeng sealed the three realms. "In addition to sealing the world, is there any other way to protect itself?"

Nanfeng turned over and sat up, leaning back against the wall, "I can't think of it yet, but even if I think of it, it's useless, because I have closed the three realms. This is a huge mistake. Once the world is reopened, it will be equivalent to opening the door of the government. Let the officers and soldiers come out to get me. At this time, I can't control my abilities at will, and I know very little about the spells that the gods can cast. I'm afraid I will be in a hurry and be exhausted by then."

"How long can it be delayed at most?" Yuan Anning asked.

"It's hard to say," Nanfeng shook his head. "The biggest disadvantage of the closure of heaven and earth is that heaven and hell are not allowed to perform their duties. Over time, the world will inevitably be in chaos."

"The disadvantages should be explained in more detail." Yuan Anning said.

Nanfeng explained, "The three realms are isolated, and all the ministries in heaven are not allowed to go to the mortal world to carry out errands. The biggest impact is that there is no rain, and the ghosts of the dead in the world are not allowed to go to the underworld, and they will always stay and wander in the human world."

Yuan Anning thought for a while and said, "The Rain Department of Heaven is not the only one who can make rain, and the officials of the underworld are not the only ones who can catch ghosts and subjugate demons."

Hearing Yuan Anning's words, Nanfeng frowned. Previously, he had been worried that the closure of the three realms would prevent the circulation of yin and yang, which would affect the people's livelihood. Yuan Anning's words reminded him that there is actually another way to go, which is to seal the three realms forever. , so that the world can exist forever without relying on heaven and underworld.

"You can ask the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas to send rain, temporarily acting as the Heavenly Rain Department,..."

Nanfeng raised his hand to interrupt Yuan Anning, "What I'm thinking about is whether it can be replaced forever."

Yuan Anning originally just wanted to buy as much time as possible, and had not thought about completely abandoning the heaven and the underworld. Hearing Nanfeng's words, he was surprised and frowned, thinking about whether this road was feasible.

After a moment, Yuan Anning shook his head, "The dragon clan cannot fulfill the duties of all the ministries of the heaven."

"It is true that the Dragon Clan cannot, but the Way of Heaven can." Nanfeng said, and then explained in detail, "The gods are not the masters of the three realms. It is the Way of Heaven that maintains the existence of the Three Realms. The gods are just helpers of the Way of Heaven, but what they do is already The more you act, the more you take over the throne."

"Yuezu substitute?" Yuan Anning was confused, "Are you saying that even if there are no ministers in heaven, there will still be wind, rain, thunder and lightning?"

"Yes," Nanfeng nodded repeatedly, "I have always ignored a very important issue before, that is, Heaven only appeared in the Zhou Dynasty. Is it possible that there were no wind, rain, thunder and lightning before the Zhou Dynasty? There must have been, but after the appearance of Heaven, This originally ownerless power was snatched away by the gods in heaven, and they used things that originally belonged to us to benevolent and blackmail us."

"If this is the case, there should be rain after the world is closed." Yuan Anning stood up with his arms, put on his shoes and went to the ground.

"Yes, that should be the case, but the gods have already made changes to the way of heaven. If they lose their control, it may take some time for the way of heaven to reverse these changes." Nanfeng turned around and saw Yuan Anning lighting a fire under the stove, " It’s already very warm, no need to burn it anymore.”

"I'll make tea with you." Yuan Anning said, and then asked, "If it's true as you said, how long will it take for Heaven to regain its strength and cause thunder, lightning, wind and rain to appear on its own?"

"I don't know," Nanfeng shook his head, "but before that, the Dragon Clan can temporarily take over. When the way of heaven returns to its natural state before the Zhou Dynasty, the Dragon Clan can become the master and the auxiliary."

"What you say makes sense," Yuan Anning added firewood to the stove, "but we are not sure how much changes have been made to the way of heaven after the emergence of heaven. Without their jurisdiction, whether the way of heaven can recover its strength."

"The way of heaven is like water. It looks weak, but is actually powerful. As long as it gets rid of the physical constraints, it will return to its invisible state." Nanfeng said.

"How long will it take?" Yuan Anning asked.

Nanfeng knew why Yuan Anning was obsessed with the length of time required. Because Kyushu was so vast and relied solely on the dragon tribe's rainfall to maintain people's livelihood, these water tribes would be exhausted sooner or later.

"It won't be long." Nanfeng turned to look out the window, "Look, there is wind outside, and there is wind in heaven, but after closing the heaven and earth, there is still wind. This shows that heaven's self-healing ability is better than we imagined. Much bigger.”

Yuan Anning nodded and did not answer.

Yuan Anning didn't answer, which showed that she still had concerns. Nanfeng said again, "I want to try. As long as I live, I can control it. If the way of heaven still cannot return to nature before the situation completely deteriorates, then I will just It can reopen the world and allow them to continue to control it.”

"I will support your decision," Yuan Anning said, "but I want to know why you want to try? You could be in a high position like them and look down on all living beings, so why would you take such a big risk and become their enemy?"

Nanfeng was stunned when he heard this. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about this problem yet."

"No matter what you do, you always need a reason, right?" Yuan Anning asked again.

Nanfeng knew why Yuan Anning asked this question. Reason is the original intention and motivation. Things without reasons will not last long. But he couldn't answer Yuan Anning's question, because this matter seemed to be of no benefit to him. It was his wish to find Zhuge Chanjuan, but the two were not directly related.

Seeing Nanfeng's silence, Yuan Anning asked again, "When did you come up with this idea?"

Nanfeng thought for a while and said, "Not long ago."

"But after the possession came back?" Yuan Anning asked.

"Yes." Nanfeng nodded. Although he was very dissatisfied with the heaven and the underworld being attached to the human world and enslaving the human world, he never thought about changing this situation. The reason why he had such an idea was that he discovered that he had a huge After ability.

"I understand," Yuan Anning stood up and held the tea leaves. "You didn't have this idea for your own selfish reasons. You just didn't want the world to be manipulated and influenced by heaven and hell. You are a noble person, but you were not capable before. Don’t do anything noble.”

Nan Feng was a little embarrassed when he was praised, "Don't say that, otherwise I will be embarrassed to do bad things in the future."

Yuan Anning did not answer his words, but said, "You have to think about it. People in the world don't have as much knowledge as you. Over the years, they have become accustomed to looking up to and respecting you. What you do may not be what they need."

"I just do what I want to do and what I can do, and I don't expect anyone to care about me. When they eat rice cakes and meat soup, they will find that eating bran is not a good life." Nanfeng laughed.

"Of course no one will appreciate your love because they don't know what you have done." Yuan Anning brought tea over.

Nan Feng took the tea cup and said, "Gods have no merit, saints have no name. Didn't you say I am noble? Then I will be noble for once."

Yuan Anning held a tea cup to herself and sat on the edge of the Kang, "I'm not afraid of having no success or fame. I'm just afraid that you have no self."

"I will never give up on you." Nanfeng said sternly. A perfect person has no self, a god has no merit, and a saint has no name. This is a passage from Zhuangzi's Xiaoyaoyou. He uses the last two sentences to express that he does not attach importance to false reputations. Yuan Anning used the previous sentence to express his worries and worries.

Yuan Anning obviously didn't want to discuss this issue in depth, so he blew the tea and tasted it briefly, then said, "There are still many details that need to be considered and scrutinized. If the three realms are blocked, where will the dead go?"

Nanfeng frowned and pondered, but did not answer immediately.

Yuan Anning asked again, "If the heaven is closed, will there still be Taoists who understand and practice in the world?"

"I set up the barrier. When I can fully control my abilities, I can try to change it so that they can't go back." Nanfeng said.

"There are still many drawbacks," Yuan Anning said. "In my opinion, it is not enough to isolate the three realms. We also need to make an alliance with them. The three realms can each perform their duties without interfering with each other."

Hearing Yuan Anning's words, Nanfeng frowned and shook his head. Yuan Anning meant not to let heaven and the underworld interfere with human affairs, but he was also responsible for receiving the ascended immortals and the ghosts after death. If you think about it carefully, Yuan Anning's idea was not too much. This may also be the original intention of the Sanqing Saint Ancestor to divide the three realms, but the problem now is that heaven and the underworld have become accustomed to being superior to the human world. If they suddenly want to be on an equal footing with them, the other party will definitely not do it.

"It's not easy to handle," Nanfeng said.

"If you want to succeed, you must form an alliance with them. Blocking them alone will have many consequences." Yuan Anning said.

"They will definitely not accept this kind of alliance, unless it is an alliance under the city." Nanfeng shook his head.

"It can only be an alliance under the city." Yuan Anning nodded.

Nanfeng didn't answer immediately after hearing this. He pondered for a long time before slowly nodding. The so-called alliance under the city is actually an alliance that forces the other party to conclude. To put it bluntly, it means beating the other party until they admit defeat and beg for mercy...
