After bidding farewell to Taiqing Laozi from the Yao tribe of the human race, Yan and Sheng walked towards the ancestral temple in silence with a trace of reluctance.
"You two Taoists are so polite!" Just after returning to the ancestral temple, a clear greeting suddenly came from a distance.
Hearing this, Yan and Sheng stopped at the same time, looked up, and saw a man in jade-colored Taoist robes standing in front of the ancestral temple with a smile, saluting the two of them with one hand.
A trace of doubt flashed in Yan's eyes, and he turned to look at Sheng. Sheng frowned slightly and shook his head gently towards Yan, obviously he didn't recognize him either.
Although the jade-robed man appeared suddenly, which made Yan a little confused, but with the great god in the tribe sitting in charge, he didn't have much to worry about.
"Friends are polite! I wonder where friends come from?"
Although he was doubtful, but seeing that he was polite, after a slight pause, Yan hurriedly led Sheng to the man in jade robe. He quickly looked at the man and returned the greeting with a smile on his face.
This man in a jade-colored Taoist robe is obviously a member of the Immortal Path. He looks middle-aged, has a gentle and gentle temperament, and is very easy to like.
With today's lesson from Lao Tzu, Yan will naturally no longer rush to find out other people's situations. He can only rely on the aura revealed by the other person to roughly judge that their cultivation level should be similar to his own.
While looking at the other party calmly, after the initial doubts, Yan now had a rough guess about the other party's origin.
"I am Xu from the human race, from the Great River Basin." The man in jade robe smiled and nodded at Yan Hesheng, and said apologetically: "I am really presumptuous in coming here today, please forgive me, two fellow Taoists."
"As expected!" Xu's words verified Yan's guess about his origin. He obviously came with Taiqing Laozi. From the looks of it, he should have arrived here at the same time as Lao Tzu, but I don’t know why he didn’t appear in the tribe earlier?
Now, he suddenly showed up for a visit, obviously because of the relationship between the two of them that I met and gave guidance to today.
"You're welcome, fellow Taoist! As the saying goes, it's great to have friends from far away. We are from the same human race, and my fellow Taoist has come from afar, so we can't wait to welcome you."
With so many thoughts in his heart, Yan said with the smile on his face undiminished.
"Welcome fellow Taoist to the Yao tribe." Sheng followed Yan's words with a slightly stiff smile.
It’s no wonder Sheng’s face looks bad.
After all, it was obvious that Xu had arrived at the Yao tribe for a long time, but Sheng, as the ancestor god of the tribe and the landlord of this place, was not aware of it.
In this situation, it would be strange if he could take it calmly now.
Xu naturally saw that Sheng's expression was not good, so he smiled apologetically and explained, "Fellow Taoist, don't be offended. It's not that Xu wanted to hide it deliberately, but he was just afraid of paying homage rashly and disrupting the practice of the seniors inside."
After hearing Xu's explanation, Yan nodded clearly, stretched out his hand to pat Sheng comfortingly, and then nodded in agreement: "Fellow Taoist, you are very considerate! You really can't disturb Tianzun because of this."
After hearing Xu's explanation, Sheng felt a little better. After Yan finished speaking, Sheng smiled and said to Yan: "Chief Immortal, I think we should invite fellow Taoist Xu into the palace first and then talk about it!"
"Yes! Yes!" Yan immediately nodded in agreement upon hearing this, stretched out his hand to signal Xu, "Fellow Taoist, please come in!"
…
In the divine realm within the temple of the Yao tribe's ancestral temple, Sheng, as the master of the divine realm, asked Yan and Xu to sit down, then turned around to take some fresh fruit spiritual dew, and then said with a smile:
"Please, the Immortal Chief and my Taoist friends, please don't laugh. The little god's place is really simple and there is nothing to entertain you two."
Yan smiled nonchalantly and calmly picked up an unknown fruit and tasted it.
"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome! We who have eaten the Tao and never forget it are only our own Tao, and the rest are all foreign objects. My Taoist friend entertains us with all his heart. As for whether it is simple or not, it is just what we want to eat and drink!"
Xu said with a smile while shaking his head and taking a fruit.
"Haha! Fellow Taoist's words are very good!" Yan heard the words and laughed in sympathy and echoed: "We who practice qi and seek the true way in the great road should not be obsessed with external desires."
"The Immortal Chief and fellow Daoist Xu are absolutely right. It is indeed me who has taken a look like me!"
Sheng was originally a mortal before, but now he has become a god only a few years ago. He does not have a deep understanding of Tao. After listening to the words of the two people, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.
Xu and Laozi arrived at the Yao tribe at about the same time. Since Laozi had paid attention to the ancestral temple, although Xu never showed up, he secretly knew the ancestral temple and Sheng well.
Therefore, although Xu was very impressed by the ancestral temple and the absolution of ghosts and gods, he actually did not attach much importance to Sheng.
After all, Sheng had just become a god not long ago. Although he reached heaven in one step because of his pardon, his foundation was still shallow, and his understanding of Tao was even more lacking.
To a certain extent, Sheng is not even qualified to call him a fellow Taoist.
Therefore, Xu didn't pay much attention to Sheng's words. Instead, he looked at Yan eagerly and asked: "I just heard fellow Taoist call the senior inside as Tianzun. Do you know the identity of that senior?"
Hearing the other party's somewhat eager words, a doubt flashed in Yan's eyes: "Didn't Fellow Taoist come with Tianzun?"
Hearing Yan's doubts, Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He did not hide anything and explained: "I did come with that senior. However, my understanding of that senior is limited."
"Oh? Why is this?" Yan's eyes became even more confused.
"The senior there has been traveling in the Great River Plain before, because every time he visited, he would tell various truths to the tribesmen. Therefore, although no one knew his origin, his reputation became more and more popular, and people who came to follow him for advice also more and more."
"Although senior did not prohibit everyone from following him, he refused everyone's request for advice without exception." Xu said, shook his head with a wry smile, and said:
"I am one of these followers. But after decades of achieving nothing, I am the only one who is still persisting."
After hearing Xu's words, Yan looked at the other party with a faint flash of a different look in his eyes, which was then covered up by thick doubts.
"Everywhere Tianzun goes he talks about the Great Way, but no one gets anything?" Yan was very surprised. That was Tai Qing Lao Tzu, a perfect preparation for a saint.
Listen to it, no one can gain anything?
"Most of the ways of senior generals are mortal. Although they occasionally touch upon the great road of heaven and earth, they are too profound and extremely difficult to understand." Xu said with a helpless smile.
"Oh! That's it." Yan Que vaguely understood the true meaning of what I did. At the same time, he also understood why Xu was eager to come to meet me after I met him and Sheng.
It was also at this time that Yan realized how lucky he and Sheng were to be able to get Laozi's guidance and guidance today. This kind of luck obviously comes from Nuwa.
It was also at this time that Yancai let go of his last doubt and became truly sure that he was indeed being noticed by Empress Nuwa, otherwise I would not have looked at him so differently.
"I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing!" Thinking that he was being noticed by a saint, Yan felt happy and uneasy at the same time.
"Forget it! This kind of thing is beyond my control. I can only hope that it will be a good thing!" In the end, Yan could only comfort himself like this.
