In Yongle Palace, Lin Ze finished approving a recital, stretched his waist, and showed a quiet look on his face.

Turning your face with Dao Sheng, you don't have to look at his face anymore, it's really cool.

The self-avenue that is rooted in the Heavenly Dao is even more active, frantically absorbing the fragments of the Heavenly Dao to nourish itself.

Suddenly, Lin Ze's expression moved slightly, and he looked out of the hall expressionlessly: "Since Senior Brother is here, why hide it and misunderstand?"

Zhuang Zhou strolled into the main hall and asked meaningfully, "Senior brother is still willing to recognize me as a senior brother?"

Lin Ze smiled indifferently and said: "Why did Senior Brother say this? In the past ten years, although Senior Brother has occasionally been unreliable, he has always taken good care of Senior Brother, which can be described as deep and meaningful. ”

"My brother is not a cold-hearted and ungrateful person, I have always kept it in my heart, and I will always treat my brother as a relative. ”

Zhuang Zhou Canran smiled and said: "What the junior brother said is very good, I hope that he will ask the junior brother in the future, and the junior brother will not turn his face and deny people." ”

Lin Ze got up on the spot, walked down the steps, looked at Zhuang Zhou levelly, and looked sincere: "Of course not." ”

The smile on Zhuang Zhou's face became brighter and brighter: "I remember what Senior Brother said. Three days later, Kunpeng will take the opportunity of building a wood god tree to connect heaven and earth to sacrifice to heaven and open the gate of heaven, and there may be a chance to transcend the realm. ”

Lin Ze chewed Zhuang Zhou's words carefully and muttered, "Watching the ceremony?"

Zhuang Zhou explained: "It is said that it is to watch the ceremony, but in fact, the teacher intends to give you a chance. ”

Lin Ze couldn't deny it: "Really?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ze waved his hand to close the door of the temple and decisively launched the Divine Power against Heaven's Destiny.

A mist quickly spread around the main hall, like a layer of cloth, covering the heavens within a radius of several miles.

"Please tell the truth, senior brother, the teacher wants you to inform me to watch the ceremony tomorrow, is it really to take care of the old feelings and share the opportunity?

Zhuang Zhou said leisurely: "With the lives of hundreds of millions of living beings, I will sacrifice you to the sky, and the sky will not dare to accept it." Don't worry, as far as I know, the teacher is really kind. ”

Lin Ze walked around Zhuang Zhou casually for two steps, and said indifferently: "Yesterday, the teacher ordered me to preside over the ceremony with strict wording, and I flatly refused, have you heard of it?"

"I'm afraid that the teacher now sees me as a rebel in his heart, and he can't wait to clean up the door, but the senior brother says that his old man is kind, so he is not afraid of the brotherhood between you and me?"

Zhuang Zhou frowned slightly, and said in a calm tone: "I never lie." ”

Lin Ze smiled, his eyes were a little cold: "Ten years ago, Xuantang, who had just devoured the Buddha, met with me in private, and said that if you want to build a wood divine tree to connect heaven and earth in a short time, you need to sacrifice to the sky with a saint. ”

"Just yesterday, I saw with my own eyes that the Buddha of Rulai, no, the god of Mount Tai was sacrificed to the heavens by the teacher, so that the spirit of Jianmu turned into a human form. ”

"In this way, as early as more than ten years ago, when the teacher proposed that Taishan Shenjun Tao Dai Li Zhuang enter the main Buddhist gate, he laid out the situation in advance,"

"Pushing others and himself, the junior brother has been thinking, was the teacher accepting me as an apprentice back then, was it also out of some kind of unsightly scheme?"

"Senior brother has been following the teacher for a long time, I don't know what he can teach me?"

Zhuang Zhou looked at Lin Ze and was silent for a long time, then sighed slightly and said: "The teacher accepted the junior disciple mainly to compete for the Mandate of Heaven, and then exchanged the Mandate of Heaven for the opportunity to transcend the realm, didn't the junior brother know it early on?"

Lin Ze laughed and said: "Senior brother, don't be joking, with the teacher's calculations and unfathomable cultivation, if his old man is determined to be in the destiny of heaven, how can he be taken away by me?"

"The junior brother has used a secret method to shield the heavenly machine, but so far, the senior brother still refuses to say something real? For example, why can't the junior brother open the gate of heaven?"

Zhuang Zhou said calmly: "I have nothing to say. ”

Lin Ze's figure paused, and he walked up the steps slowly, with an indifferent expression: "Please go back and reply to the teacher, I have been busy with government affairs recently, and I will hold a court meeting in three days to discuss the addition of grassroots officials, and I have no time to go." ”

"I have failed the teacher's love, and I feel very guilty in my heart, and when he has time, he will definitely come to the door to apologize to the teacher, hoping that he will understand. ”

After thinking about it, Lin Ze planned to adopt the Great Turtle Shrinkage Method and refused to go to the ceremony.

After all, no one can guarantee that as a viewer, you will not be affected by the pond fish.

If the Buddha sits on the altar and worships the Jianmu Sacred Tree with the power of faith, isn't he being sacrificed to the heavens by the Taoist saint as an audience?

When Zhuang Zhou heard this, a complicated look appeared on his face, and he hesitated: "Is it true that the junior brother wants to refuse the teacher's invitation so resolutely? Although there was some unpleasant trouble between the junior brother and the teacher yesterday, the teacher sent me to invite you to watch the ceremony in three days, and it may not mean that he wants to ease the relationship between them. ”

"The junior and apprentice refuse mercilessly, I am afraid that the teacher will misunderstand that the junior and the younger brother have a grudge, and the relationship between the master and the apprentice will be wiped out due to the deterioration of the relationship. ”

Lin Ze was very unimpressed with this, although the relationship between master and apprentice is important, but compared with Xiaolife, it is not even one in ten thousand.

However, this kind of ruthless and unrighteous words are too offensive to people, Lin Ze can only say euphemistically: "No, no, no, senior brother misunderstood, senior brother really can't spare time, if senior brother doesn't believe it, it will be seen in three days." ”

Zhuang Zhou saw that he couldn't move Lin Ze by friendship, so he had to change his way: "Three days later, Confucian Sheng and Uncle Tongtian will also be present to watch the ceremony, this matter is related to the opportunity to transcend the realm, isn't the junior brother not moved at all?"

Lin Ze said indifferently: "The junior disciple has a shallow foundation, and the transcendence realm is out of reach, so I don't expect to be able to step into the transcendence realm through the so-called chance, strictly speaking, I am really not moved." ”

This is Lin Ze's heart, how long has it been since he was promoted to the saint realm?

More than ten years.

Well, the two lives of human beings add up to less than seventy years.

Compared to the Dao Saint Confucian Saint's waiting in units of ten thousand years, Lin Ze didn't seem to need to be too anxious.

Especially this chance looks like a sugar-coated poison, which makes people afraid to start.

No matter how good something is, you have to have a life to take it.

Zhuang Zhou sighed: "In the final analysis, the junior brother is still worried that the teacher and I will harm you. ”

Lin Ze smiled: "No, the teacher is kind, the senior brother is friendly, how can it harm me?"

Zhuang Zhou frowned slightly: "If you are hypocritical, you don't have to say it." ”

Lin Ze said silently: You said it first.

Zhuang Zhou saw that Lin Ze was silent, and immediately understood in his heart that if he didn't dispel his doubts, the other party would not be able to agree to go to watch the ceremony.

"What does Senior Brother want to know?"

Lin Ze's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, and he asked a key question: "Why do you have to me?"

Zhuang Zhou suddenly fell silent and refused to speak.

Seeing this, Lin Ze smiled slightly: "Senior brother, it's inconvenient to answer, forget it, when I haven't asked, by the way, say hello to the teacher." ”

The implication is that let's go back quickly, don't talk about pulling it down.

Zhuang Zhou was silent for a while, and hesitated: "Senior brother really wants to know?"

Lin Ze looked serious: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Zhuang Zhou wanted to speak again and again, and suddenly remembered something: "If I tell the truth, and my junior brother still refuses to agree to go to the ceremony, what should I do?"

Lin Ze thought for a while and said: "Senior brother happens to have a magical ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and later the junior brother will use this magical power, if what senior brother said is true, junior brother will not say a word, and promise to go to watch the ceremony on time." ”

"If the senior brother has half a lie, please push the door out, don't look back, he will see each other one day, you and I are still senior brothers, but the love is gone. ”

Zhuang Zhou replied without hesitation: "Okay, please use your supernatural powers." ”

Lin Ze nodded slightly, knowing that the Mandate of Heaven was activated, a mysterious aura fell on Zhuang Zhou's shoulder, and countless messy messages about Zhuang Zhou appeared in Lin Ze's heart.

"Senior brother can say it. ”

Zhuang Zhou's heart was like a mirror, and he said indifferently: "In the final analysis, this matter lies in the junior brother himself, if I guess correctly, the junior brother is not a creature of this heaven and earth." ”

Lin Ze forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and pretended to be calm: "Senior brother was born here and grew up here, why is he suddenly not a creature of this heaven and earth?"

Zhuang Zhou chuckled and said: "Senior brother is kind-hearted, but what you said just exposes the fact that you are not a creature of this heaven and earth, normally speaking, you shouldn't ask, is there any other heaven and earth?"

Lin Ze's expression was still calm, he touched his chin and said, "The small world of the Sage Realm, isn't it another heaven and earth?"

Zhuang Zhou stared at Lin Ze, shook his head slightly, and said, "Senior brother, don't deny it, the first time the teacher saw you, he recognized that you were not a creature of this world." Do you know that you are not the first creature to come to this world from an unknown place?"

Lin Ze recalled the scene of meeting with the Dao Saint once, and indeed said that he had crossed over, so he no longer forcibly denied it, but asked tentatively: "The other is a primordial Taoist?"

Zhuang Zhou's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said urgently: "Senior brother is cautious, don't call the ancestor by his name." ”

So far, none of what Zhuang Zhou said is false.

Lin Ze exhaled a breath of turbidity slightly, and the identity of the primordial Taoist was confirmed.

So the question is, is it really an accident that I came to this world?

"What does my identity have to do with the ceremony?"

Zhuang Zhou's face showed a look of thought, and he said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, do you still remember that I told you that there is no transcendence between heaven and earth, and the ancestor created a precedent. ”

"Except for the ancestors, from ancient times to the present, those amazing existences that have emerged between heaven and earth, no one has broken through the shackles of the saint realm. ”

"The ancient gods and demons, the ancestors of the witch clan, the emperor of the demon clan, the emperor of the Shinto Heavenly Race, and the three emperors of the human race are all great existences that have overwhelmed a generation, but they stopped at the peak of the saint realm, and finally disappeared in the long river of time. ”

Hearing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but interject: "Wait, aren't saints immortal?

Zhuang Zhou pointed upward: "The sky is going to kill you, what can you do?"

"The saint realm is a small world, but it is made by absorbing the nutrients of heaven and earth, if it expands infinitely, how can heaven and earth tolerate you?"

"As the lord of a country, how can the junior brother tolerate the princes pressing on your head?"

Lin Ze immediately understood that Heaven and Earth could allow the Saint Realm to be on an equal footing with it to some extent, but once there was a threat to it, Heaven and Earth would activate the "Anti-Virus Mode" to wipe out the threatening Saint.

In this way, the last Demon Emperor cut off the Jianmu Divine Tree, not necessarily to seize the heavenly realm to protect himself, but to fight for his life against heaven and earth.

"Listen to Senior Brother's meaning, only a creature like me who does not belong to this heaven and earth can be promoted to the transcendent realm?"

Zhuang Zhou nodded slightly and said: "This is the conclusion that the teacher has carefully calculated for tens of thousands of years, and the opportunity to transcend the realm will appear after three days, if the junior brother does not go, it will be a joke." ”

"Among the saint realms, including the teacher, one counts as one, even if you hold the opportunity in your hands, it's useless. ”

Lin Ze's expression was complicated, and he muttered to himself, "I see." ”
