————Replace immediately. Replace immediately. Come back after two o’clock——
Lord Chang Nian saw that everyone's attention had been diverted to the mysterious elder mentioned by Yuan Heng, while the other hidden client was immediately ignored by everyone, which relieved his embarrassment, and secretly sighed that it was a pity. , this stubbornness is enough.
It's a pity, it's too late. It is no longer appropriate or necessary to think about getting in place now.
"Although my heart was moved, this junior thought that this elder was acting suspiciously and hiding his head and tail. Although he didn't harm me, he must have some agenda, so he rejected him. It seems that this junior doesn't know what's good and what's good, which also annoyed him." After saying this, Daojun Yuanheng smiled hurriedly, and suddenly felt that the two elders had somewhat similar feelings: "Then the junior was taught a lesson by him."
"It is said to be a lesson, but in fact it is a test. It does not harm the life of this junior, and it is really a great favor to help someone advance to become a god. Before leaving, he said that he hopes that the junior can respect his teacher's name in the end. I have no status, and I have not To be able to do what he wishes..." Yuan Heng thought that he actually felt a little uncomfortable after all, but it wasn't that he felt regretful, it was the same thing.
"I thought that being retaliated against would at least not be so painful, and I was mentally prepared for it. But I didn't get angry at all—"
Almost everyone was attracted by this almost descriptive description of Daojun Yuanheng. Although the description was straightforward, it was very powerful. The mysterious image of the unnamed powerful figure was also contradictory and inconsistent, and there was a hint of silence in it. Waves, just from the words, it seems that you can already feel the unfathomable depth revealed in the other party's words and deeds - the kind of state where you can hold the Taoist Transformation Master in your hands at will.
I don't know when Venerable Changnian also stopped being careless, and his expression became serious. He did not interrupt Daojun Yuanheng's words.
"He said yes, it doesn't matter if he doesn't call me Master. After all, he has never really taught me for a day, and he doesn't care about it." Probably because this wording made people uncomfortable, Daojun Yuanheng He said this "not rare" as if he said it through gritted teeth: "Because in the past, a long, long time ago, he had many disciples, each of them was as bright as a star, and many people called him... ...Master, but none of these people survived in the end. They all died."
"I taught them so much, and taught them all so well, but I never taught them too much about how to behave, so that in the end they lost their lives in vain. And he, the master, also did it to the end."
"He said that he missed them very much, but he would never see them again. Before leaving, he had an inappropriate thought. But I didn't want to - he thought about it carefully and felt that he was in a daze, so he shouted again and again. No matter what, they are no longer those people." Daojun Yuanheng was a little melancholy, as if he could see the vague shadow of that time through his memories: "Since the junior is not willing to force himself, and he doesn't want to force himself, let's forget it. After all, it’s really just a title.”
After finishing this somewhat rambling narrative, the room fell into a long and long silence.
This is a very cliche story with not much content, but bringing in the two parties makes the entire story more complicated.
Daojun Yuanheng was not an ordinary person, nor was that unknown strong man. Both of them are strong people, but there is a strange sense of resignation and powerlessness in their relationship.
The way of cultivation is the way of the strong, and monks are also people who compete with heaven for their fate. Even the gentlest people have the predatory nature inherent in monks, and they rarely give up on anything.
But the great power mentioned by Daojun Yuanheng seems to be the opposite. Compared with the unborn master, he is more like a mortal, with flesh and blood, and his life is extremely transparent.
He was not angry at Daojun Yuanheng's rejection, but instead helped him in his journey. He wanted the title of honor but did not force it. His ultimate wish was just to pass on what he thought and learned. Go down.
How could anyone live like this without any desire, without taking the initiative to fight for it, or retaining what is about to be lost? Such a person, such a saint...how can he be called a person?
In fact, the other party is indeed not a human being. If Daojun Yuanheng knew that these people thought this way, he would probably tell them that that person is no longer a human being, strictly speaking.
"It's really...a regrettable story." Venerable Changnian murmured: "But what does this have to do with what I asked before? Yuan Heng, don't tell such an impressive story. Let's break things up." He looked at the young man's calm face with a half-smile, as if he insisted on giving an explanation.
"...It's nothing. It's the junior who went too far. I just want to talk about the elder I met on the road a few days ago. And he also said the same thing as you." Daojun Yuanheng raised the corner of his mouth. A hint of smile: "Do you know what the memory of the junior who saw it at that time said?"
"oh?"
"He also said that the junior is very weird, but he doesn't think that the junior's choice is wrong, because this weirdness is just because the world thinks I am weird. After all, the principles of this world, one drink and one peck, are not predetermined. The junior's choice is correct. There are reasons for mistakes, and no matter how you choose, there will always be unexpected situations. Who knows that these unexpected situations may lead to bigger mistakes."
One drink and one peck, could it be a predestined decision. This is also the principle, cause and effect are determined by nature, but things are determined by man-made factors, and fate is determined by the influence of both sides.
Daojun Yuanheng's words were very cryptic and seemed to have nothing to do with what they had said before, but Venerable Chang Nian understood them clearly.
This means that everything he has encountered so far has been his Yuan Heng's choice, and he will not regret it no matter good or bad - because it is his own choice.
Perhaps Zhenjun Tukong's rejection did have some subsequent effects on him, and under the influence, he might have made some seemingly unwise choices. But rejecting the Lord Chang Nian and rejecting the power of the secret realm are also his actual choices. He has accepted it and will not regret it. He regards it as part of his destiny and admits that it is also the various antecedents. He had just become the Yuanheng he is today.
He used these words to tell Lord Changnian and everyone that he had no regrets, no regrets, and would not regret or regret anything - because he had already let go.
"You, I've been blocked by you again this time. It seems that I'm out of luck again. Really, you have a good life. How come there are so many people vying for you to be your teacher, and even me... That's all, look back. Come and sit with me when you have time. Although I cannot be your master, it seems that it would be good to discuss the Tao with you." Venerable Changnian shook his head and sighed helplessly.
