The meeting went really fast, only a few dozen minutes in total. Shangluo was still confused until the meeting was over.
"Ah, I feel refreshed." Standing outside the door, Zhu Xianfen was in a good mood, "So, where to start?"
"Where to start?"
"Training Daozu. You still don't know what Daozu is going to do, right?"
Shangluo shook his head like a rattle.
"What a coincidence, I don't know what the old man is doing."
"Then how do we get an internship?"
"The situation is like this - although I don't know what Daozu usually does, I know what Daozu doesn't do. Daozu doesn't take care of general affairs and doesn't care about things other than Qi practitioners. So according to this logic, the work of apprentice Daozu should also be Focus on the Qi Practitioners. At present, there are only more than a thousand Qi Practitioners in the country, so there are only so many people you have to work with."
"It seems there are quite a few?"
"Yes, so ability can be cultivated, experience can also be cultivated, neither of which are actually important. What is important is that you know what to do, that is the most important thing. You have not repaired a generator in San Francisco ? Just like that, if you see any problem with the operation of this machine, just take a picture."
"I seem to understand a little bit. But there will be more Qi practitioners in the future, right?"
"Are you worried that you are not capable enough or wise enough? No, it is not important at all, and it is not something you should consider. On the other hand, why do you think I can be the Holy Emperor? What do you think I do every day? "
"In addition to refining elixirs, you also go to listen to politics?"
"Yes, listening to politics is just a matter of listening. Modern politics is simply not something that a layman like me can understand, so what I have to do is listen and understand, and then not interfere with their decisions. Do you think I am so qualified?"
"Competent? But it seems a little incompetent?"
"No, the answer to this question is neither competent nor incompetent. Because it doesn't matter whether you are competent or not. I am not the emperor because of my competence, but because of my destiny. I am the eldest son of the late emperor, and the only son. Destiny, this is it." He looked at Shangluo:
"You were also chosen by destiny. Destiny is ruthless and unreasonable. It's as simple as that. Back then, Nezha from Chentangguan opened the Xuanyuan Qiankun Bow and released a sky-shaking arrow to kill Empress Shiji's apprentice. Is this right? ? This is wrong. But destiny is in Ji Zhou, and the ruthless destiny will crush all rights and wrongs. "
Shangluo understood somewhat - but this did not comfort him at all, but instead made him fall into greater fear. Uranus knew that he would be replaced by the son of God, so he ate all his offspring, except Zeus. Odin knew that Ragnarok was coming, but nothing he did could delay it, but speed it up.
It's good if destiny is ruthless on others, but if destiny is ruthless on one's own head, that's not a wonderful thing.
Seemingly sensing Shangluo's worries, Zhu Xianxian asked him: "Are you worried that you are incompetent?"
Shangluo nodded.
"I thought the same way back then, how could I be the emperor as an alchemy master? But when I thought about it, it was a response from heaven and man. God will tell you, it's that simple. If God doesn't say anything, everything is normal."
"But what if destiny is to be the Riddler? Just like Fengxian County in Journey to the West, it doesn't rain for three years. If the governor of Fengxian County can't wait for Sun Wukong, will he have to wait until the chicken has finished eating the rice and the dog has licked the noodles? Fire breaks the locks before it rains? What if destiny is really not on our side? What are we going to do? Do we have to accept our fate?"
"Hey~" Zhu Xianfen shook his head, "If you want to ask Ji Zhou whether he is destined by fate, then he must be. If you want to ask me if King Zhou has this matter on us, do we accept our fate? Then we definitely don't accept our fate. King Zhou doesn’t recognize him, and of course I don’t recognize him either. What should Zhu Yu do? In fact, haven’t you already said the answer? Use Sun Wukong—just fight him.”
"Can Destiny still fight?"
"How does that line come to be sung: 'Long live if you keep my rules, you will be the king, and ministers will be ministers; if you don't keep my rules, everyone will be killed in the Forbidden City.'. Now the destiny is on our side, and we have sent I came down to earth with a unicorn son, so I believe in destiny. If destiny disobeys, I will beat him until he obeys."
"That's really... very similar to what I did before." Shangluo vaguely knew what he was going to do. The emperor solves the problems of the world, and he comes to solve the problems of heaven. And the biggest problem in heaven is the catastrophe.
The Yin Shang Dynasty was founded by Shang Tang, and King Wu's defeat of Zhou was the natural disaster for the Yin Shang Dynasty. But now, a new foundation is being built, but the catastrophe does not know when it will come. If in the future, the Ming Dynasty will face the same "catastrophe" as the Yin and Shang Dynasties, then the time has come to overcome the disaster. Yin Shang failed to overcome the tribulation, so he was entered into the list of gods.
And if Yin Shang succeeded in crushing Ji Zhou's destiny - that would be another story. Or maybe it will be the story of this generation too. Because anyone who goes against the will of heaven will always experience disaster.
"Is this a secret?"
"It doesn't count." Zhu Xianxen shook his head, "Everyone knows that when a person reaches a certain level of immortality, he must go through a catastrophe, right? When the list of gods began, everyone also knew that the catastrophe of the Yin and Shang Dynasties was coming, but the catastrophe How it comes, when it comes, and in what way, this is the question later - in fact, even the heavenly tribulation itself is a guess. If you look at our development step by step, we are actually getting closer and closer to the way of heaven. There have been obstacles in the way of heaven. Us?"
"It seems, indeed not?"
"So maybe Heavenly Dao wants us to challenge Heavenly Dao itself. Perhaps only by defeating Heavenly Dao can we complete the ascension of our entire civilization. A civilization restricted by destiny cannot be called great freedom and freedom after all. So the Yin Shang Dynasty Death is due to failure to prepare for war and failure to win. Yin Jian is not far away, Yin Jian is not far away."
"The phrase "Yin Jian is not far away" really fits the situation. But isn't Rome also going through a calamity now?"
"Yes, Rome's disaster has arrived. Rome is our Taoist friend, but their karma has gradually hit them, and they have gradually become unable to support them before the great disaster."
"Shall we save one?"
"What can we do to save them?" Zhu Xianfen shook his head, "In fact, there have been several dynasties changes in Rome, and we don't care at all. There is no need to care. We did not establish the structure of the Sun and Moon Emperor to cause trouble for each other. Rome has the ability to solve its own problems, and we never interfere. And we are helpless when it comes to overcoming the catastrophe. After all, Rome's catastrophe is completely different from ours. It is difficult for all of us, so we can only do our best. As well as you and me. Too."
