"Fellow Daoist Yan, I see that senior met you alone. I wonder if you gained anything?"
In the ancestral temple of the Yao tribe, Xu did not ask Yan about the origin of Taiqing. After being slightly disappointed, he then looked at Yan eagerly and asked.
This was also the main reason why he hurriedly came to visit Yan Hesheng.
"You know, that senior rarely receives visitors alone. I have never been able to successfully visit him alone in these years." At the end of Xu's words, he looked at Yan Hesheng with great envy.
Yan Wenyan glanced at Xu, nodded with a smile and said, "Today is indeed extremely lucky! Not only was he received by the Heavenly Lord and saw his beautiful face, but he also listened to the immortal voice and solved many problems on the great road."
"Ah! That senior actually explained the Dao to you?" After hearing Yan's words, Xu looked at Yan He Sheng with eyes full of envy and jealousy.
You know, he has followed Taiqing Laozi for so many years and has never had such an opportunity.
After all, Xu is not an ordinary person. His feelings of envy and jealousy were put aside in just a moment, and he turned to say with a flattering smile: "Fellow Taoist! Do you think you can let me listen to the teachings of that senior?"
To be honest, looking at Xu's appearance, Yan felt extremely satisfied. The envy of his future opportunities has also been balanced a lot.
However, for the same reason as before, he did not dare to meddle in Taiqing Laozi's affairs.
"Since fellow Taoists have gained hope from Tianzun and found their own future direction, why should they be obsessed with other ways now?"
Yan smiled and shook his head, politely refusing.
Xu's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he paused thoughtfully. After a while, he came back to his senses, stood up and bowed to Yan cautiously.
"Thanks for the reminder, fellow Taoist! I was indeed obsessed with it and almost went astray."
Yan turned sideways and ignored his courtesy, and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, just don't blame me for being stingy and talkative. Now I can see my heart clearly and understand my own way. Congratulations!"
After Xu stood up, his face was filled with joy, and he looked at Xiang Yan with a bit more intimacy and gratitude. He thanked him again: "I also want to thank fellow Taoist for your advice, so that I can have this clear understanding."
Afterwards, the two sat down again, and their conversation was no longer as tentative and polite as before.
At the same time, when Xu and Yan were talking about sex in the ancestral temple, they didn't know that Laozi from the Yao tribe also raised his eyes and glanced here, and a trace of satisfaction flashed away.
In the days that followed, Yan was still unwilling to give up. He tried to visit me again and wanted to listen to the Tao again, but he was turned away unsurprisingly.
There is no other way, Yan can only let go of luck and let nature take its course.
Every day he would talk about immortals and Taoism with Xu, explain the ways of ghosts and gods to Sheng in the ancestral temple, or visit Yuyao, waiting for the opportunity for Taiqing Laozi to preach before he left the Yao tribe.
Although I heard it said that when Lao Tzu preached publicly like this, most of the teachings he preached were ordinary human rituals, and the teachings of heaven were extremely difficult.
But Yan was still lucky, thinking that he could get Lao Tzu to look at him differently and open his mouth to clear up doubts, and maybe he would be merciful beyond the law and gain something.
Time passed slowly, and finally, half a year later, it was time for Yan to explain the truth to everyone in the Yao tribe.
However, one day passed, and as I finished my last words, Yan was still disappointed after all.
"It seems that I have overthought it after all. Maybe in their eyes, I am just a special ant chosen by Nuwa."
Yan opened his eyes, his face full of bitterness. He turned around and looked at the people around him, Yao and Xu, who all had similar expressions. Apparently they had gained nothing.
They looked at each other with a wry smile, shook their heads, stood up and bowed silently to Mr. Taiqing who was about to leave, thus ending today's fruitless lecture.
Looking at Lao Tzu's leaving figure, Xu Dang asked first, "I will continue to follow my senior. What are the plans of my fellow Taoists?"
Yan glanced at Xu, then turned to look at Lao Tzu who was riding the bull away. He thought for a while and said, "I am lucky to have Tianzun explain my doubts once. I am afraid that the opportunity will be exhausted later, so I won't bother you." Heavenly Lord."
Yan knew very well that he had been labeled as Nuwa, and it was impossible for him to enter Laozi's family again, and he would not be able to gain anything if he continued to follow her.
Therefore, I immediately gave up my intention to continue following.
"I practice the divine way, and the path is at my feet. I'm afraid I won't be able to meet my predecessors, so I won't force it." Yao also shook his head, but his expression was very indifferent.
Although Yao knew that Taiqing Laozi was a powerful moral man when Yan brought Xu to visit him before, he had also visited Laozi as a landlord before.
Unfortunately, I was turned away in the end. I listened to Lao Tzu's sermon today and gained nothing. Now that I have basically given up asking for advice, I naturally have no intention of continuing to follow him.
Of course, the most important thing is because Yao doesn't know the importance of Taiqing Laozi. He has the inheritance of the ancient god's palace and naturally he doesn't have much desire to force himself.
The remaining Sheng, as the ancestral god of the Yao tribe, has just established the stable priesthood of the divine domain, so naturally he cannot leave the tribe too far easily.
Therefore, in the end, only Xu was left with Taiqing Laozi.
After Taiqing, Laozi and Xu had gone far away, Yancai shook his head with a smile and said to Yao: "Go and sit in Sheng's divine realm and give him some advice by the way?"
Sheng and Yao both have knots in their hearts.
Although Yan tried to persuade Yu Sheng half a year ago, he obviously still had not let go. These days, Yan invited him to visit Yao with him several times, but he always refused.
As for Yao, he doesn't have any opinions about Shengdao, but he has always felt guilty about the Yao tribe. The reason why he came to the tribe this time was also because of me.
Now after hearing Yan's words, Yao turned his head and glanced at Sheng. Seeing that his face was stiff, he smiled and said, "I won't go to the ancestral temple."
"If you have nothing to do, fellow Taoist, you'd better come to my place and sit down! I happen to have something to talk to you about." Yao said, and nodded slightly to Sheng.
Yan turned his head to look at Sheng's appearance, shook his head disapprovingly, and without forcing himself, smiled and said, "Well, let's go and sit with fellow Taoist."
After saying that, he turned to Sheng and said, "After I visited Taoist Fellow Yao, I went directly back to the dojo and stopped coming here. If possible, you should clean up the evil ghosts around you as soon as possible."
After hearing what Yan Heyao said, Sheng felt relieved and immediately bowed and said: "The little god will obey the decree of the immortal!"
…
The Yao tribe is located deep in the mountains, with criss-crossing valleys and countless beautiful and dangerous peaks. Among them, exotic flowers and plants are blooming, and exotic birds and animals are playing, giving it a more spiritual mountain atmosphere.
In Yao's dojo, after the two of them sat down, Yao said: "Because of Xu's relationship, I didn't tell you. After Sheng became a god, it was not all smooth sailing."
Yan frowned when he heard this, looked up at Yao, and asked doubtfully: "Did anything else happen later? I never heard Sheng talk about it!"
Yao shook his head and said: "Although he was conferred as a god at that time, his essence was just an ordinary ghost, and his status as a god was not yet stable, so he didn't know what was going on outside."
"External calamity?" Yan's heart moved when he heard this, and he asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, Waijie!" Yao nodded and explained: "On the night after you left, the dark ghosts around the tribe began to gather towards the tribe."
"For us, although there are many of these ghosts, they are not strong. I can get rid of them with a wave of my hand. But if I hadn't taken action, I'm afraid not only would all our efforts in conferring gods be in vain, but even the tribe would suffer as well."
At the end of the sentence, Yao's expression became cautious.
Yan heard the words and breathed a sigh of relief with fear in his heart. At the same time, he stood up and bowed to Yao, thanking: "It was indeed my negligence. Fortunately, my Taoist friends helped me this time, so it didn't cause a big disaster."
Yao waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's my responsibility to do a little work. With this experience, there should be no problem in becoming a god in the future."
"With Fellow Daoist's reminder this time, there will definitely be no problems in the future." Yan nodded confidently.
Yan Xin didn't take it seriously that external calamities would occur when ghosts and gods were pardoned. After all, pardoning ghosts and gods is a shortcut to the divine way, so it is natural for heaven and earth to bring trials and disasters.
Now, with Yao's reminder, Yan is confident that he can easily block the disaster caused by conferring gods again in the future.
