"There is a mixture of things, born in advance of heaven and earth. It is lonely, independent and does not change, moves around without dying, and can be the mother of the world. I don't know its name, but the word is Dao, and the name given by Qiang is called Da. Da means Passing away, passing away means far, far away means reverse. Therefore, the Tao is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and people are also big. There are four majors in the domain, and humans live in one of them. People follow the earth, and the earth follows the sky. There is no way, and the way follows nature. .”
"Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things bear yin and hold yang, and the energy is in harmony."
"The opposite is the movement of Tao, and the weak is the use of Tao. Everything in the world is born from existence, and existence is born from nothingness."
. . .
Under the blue tree, a man in green shirt is lying on the cow's back with his head turned towards the head of the cow. He is holding the "Tao Te Ching" in his hand and reading silently, just like a handsome scholar who has come to Beijing to take the exam. He has long hair and a handsome appearance, which makes the young ladies on the roadside blush with shame. ——It is Ye Feng.
At this time, Qingniu was bored and carried Ye Feng to the gate of Zhongdu City. He was obviously a little emotional along the way, shouting "Moo-moo-".
Although the green cow seemed to be talking about something, no one else could understand the cow language. But luckily Ye Feng understood it.
Qingniu was complaining that after Ye Feng bought it, it had to leave its owner who had lived with it for 5 years.
Ye Feng smiled and said: "Brother Niu, maybe it's my fate with you that impressed your master."
Qingniu kept saying "moo" and scolded: "What fate? What move? Isn't it because you gave me too much money, you bad guy!"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you could impress your master with such a little bit. I can only say that you and I are destined."
Qingniu made a "moo" sound and said "cut" with great disdain, "What's sincerity and trustworthiness? It's all just a lack of money."
Ye Feng smiled elegantly and said: "Brother Niu is very insightful, that's good. When this matter is over, I will let you go free. At that time, whether you go to your master or go to a free world, I will I won’t stop you.”
Qingniu said: "Seriously?"
Ye Feng smiled and said: "Seriously, then you are my companion now."
Qing Niu said "moo" several times and woke up his nose, "I'm not your companion!"
Ye Feng smiled, rolled up a volume of the Tao Te Ching, raised his hand gently, tapped the cow's head with his backhand, and said, "I know, let's go quickly."
Moving forward in time, after Gu Yan brought the others into the city, Ye Feng and the farmer bought the cow and took everyone back to the space bead. After all, there are many people here, and if so many people walk together, there will inevitably be trouble.
Now Xun'er's situation still needs time. Ye Feng put everyone in the space bead, and Yu Xun'er also took care of it. At the same time, Ye Feng also asked You Ji to appear and stay in the space bead. After all, it was really troublesome to cover You Ji's figure under Pu Hong's eyes outside, so why not let her go in with her, and take care of Xun'er at the same time.
Ren Xiaojin and others were not surprised that You Ji would appear here. The only strange thing was Gu Ling'er. Her eyes kept looking back and forth at You Ji and the others, with a look of disbelief on her face. She didn't know what she was thinking.
So Ye Feng transformed into this scholar, lying on the back of the cow, walking leisurely with the green cow, towards Zhongdu City.
Ye Feng knows what those seven people want to do? They wanted to find Xun'er and kill Xun'er. After all, the seven of them were all half-step true ancestors and were only one step away from the Emperor of Heaven. At this moment, they naturally would not tolerate Cheng Yaojin coming out halfway. Instead of having long nights and many dreams, it would be safer to just strangle it in its infancy.
Don't highlight the monk's compassion. Let’s not talk about whether the monk is fake compassionate, even if he is truly compassionate, if you tell him that if you kill Xun’er, he can become the Emperor of Heaven, control the Immortal Realm, and let his compassion extend to everyone in the entire Immortal Realm. Do you think he will kill Xun'er? Killing one person can save countless people.
Not to mention that the monk escaped into Buddhism and was compassionate. Compassion is kindness, and therefore it is more humane. Monk only cultivates good deeds and practices extreme kindness, but "all things carry yin and embrace yang, and inject qi into harmony". How can one do good without practicing evil? Don't you know the principle of "the opposite is the movement of the Tao"?
It's a pity that Pu Hong cultivates this kind of extreme goodness. Sometimes, this kind of good is more evil than ordinary evil. Because according to his logic, not killing Xun'er is a small good, but killing Xun'er and saving countless people is a great good with immeasurable merit.
but?
Goodness is good, what is the difference between great and small?
Ye Feng just doesn't believe in the humanity of people. Just like the farmer selling Ye Feng cattle. As long as the benefits are given in full, how can there be any sincerity or trustworthiness?
But Ye Feng is not worried about this, because we said before that Xun'er did not reach the ultimate 100 points of the Heavenly Emperor's Tribulation, only 95 points. And these missing 5 points allowed Xun'er to appear alone in front of those people, and they would not be aware that she was the one who could overcome the tribulation of the Emperor of Heaven. At most, she was an unparalleled genius, which made them feel in love with talents. That’s all. This is one of the reasons why Ye Feng doesn't want to make up for the five points Xun'er owes. But even so, Ye Feng still believed that it would be better to do less than to do more, and he just didn't want to cause trouble.
At this time in the space bead,
Ye Feng sighed: "I think that the senior Shangjun rode a green ox out of Hangu Pass, and now I, an unknown junior, ride a green ox into Zhongdu City."
Hearing this, Tu Shanling sneered at Ye Feng.
Ren Xiaojin asked Ye Feng: "Feng, could those people guess that we came to Zhongdu?"
Ye Feng smiled and said: "No need to guess, they must know that I will definitely come to Zhongdu."
Tu Shanling asked: "Ye Feng, since the other party knows that you are coming to Zhongdu, isn't your previous work in vain?"
Ye Feng said: "First of all, I have a reason to come to Zhongdu. Secondly, since there is a high probability that others will know that I am coming back to Zhongdu, then the only thing I can do is plant the seeds of doubt in the other person's heart."
Ye Feng paused for a moment and continued: "Although the seeds are not effective yet, they will take root and sprout when the time comes. And what I do is just do everything I can think of, even if I can't think of it all. It’s okay, just try your best. After all, the way of heaven is forbidden, and the way of humanity is forbidden.”
Suddenly Linglong said: "Dad, is the reason you came to Zhongdu to participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference?"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "That's right. Is there some reason for this?"
Jiang Yu smiled and said: "Old Ye, aren't you just trying to show off?"
Ye Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "I won't take action this time. The Ascension Conference is your chance to shine."
The fat man's eyes lit up and he said, "Seriously!?"
Yun Xi asked, "Master, why is this?"
Ye Feng did not answer directly, but asked: "What do you think is strange so far?"
Xiao Wu said doubtfully: "What's strange?"
Everyone thought for a while, and Qingni suddenly said: "It's Zhao and Qian. They seem to have known for a long time that outsiders like us would appear there."
