Chapter 3893 Involuntary
After several months of hustle and bustle, Xianshu City gradually returned to peace.
Of course, this tranquility is only relatively speaking. The peaceful Xianshu City in the past will never come back.
Wanmuting.
"Master Shu, Yueyeye City has sent someone."
Hao Ruoyan said softly, "This is the fifth time in the past four years. This time, Nan Sheng, the city leader, came personally and asked to see Master Shu by name. Would Master Shu want to meet him?"
"here we go again?"
Zhao Yueru frowned, "In the past, when we came to visit us and asked for trade routes, they refused, saying that we would be destroyed sooner or later, and that being friends with us would be asking for trouble. Now that we have defeated the Immortal Realm, they quickly came to ask for an alliance. This kind of trick What is the use of the little man who is steering the helm?"
"you're right."
Hao Ruoyan looked at her, "But it's still useful. Yueye City is in a good position. It's stuck at the gate of our development. By winning over them, Xianshu City can go further. Besides, they have good strength. Apart from the city lord, there are two other accurate Holy, I came five times in a row, and apologized every time, and my sincerity is also ok.”
Qingque said calmly, "The key is that it's good for us. In fact, character doesn't matter. As long as we keep suppressing them, they won't be able to think otherwise."
Zhao Yueru curled her lips, "I just hate it, but don't pay attention to me. For the sake of Xianshu City, you can do whatever you want."
Hao Ruoyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, even cooperation is not an alliance. Now we don't ask them, at most it is an exchange of interests, and we must try our best to do it in our own way, Master Shu, right?"
"ah?"
Zhou Shu seemed to be thinking about something, and then said after a while, "You can decide these things, and I won't go see them. It's the same for any of you. Don't worry about their emotions."
Hao Ruoyan nodded lightly, "Let's go to Ruoyan later. There is one more thing. More and more people are coming to Xianshu City now. They are all here because of the battle in the Immortal Realm. Everyone said they want to see and defeat the Immortal Realm. As a hero, should you prepare to celebrate and publicize, continue to build momentum for Xianshu City and expand your influence?"
"You just have to make up your mind about these things."
Zhou Shu paused for a moment, "The thing about the screen wall is very good, I didn't even think of it, but the most important ceremony has to wait until the people from Anding City come back. They are the ones with the most casualties and deserve more praise. "
Hao Ruoyan thought for a while and smiled, "I know, Master Shu, let Ruoyan make arrangements."
Qingque looked at Zhou Shu and frowned, "You are a little absent-minded. Now that you are back, you don't care about the fairy city. What are you thinking about?"
Zhao Yueru hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Maybe it's because of Xiao Gun?"
"Everyone has his own ambitions. Even if he was trained by you, you can't be responsible for him for the rest of his life. If we are separated, the road will be different." Qingque paused for a moment and said seriously, "I'll ask you again when we meet in the future. It’s good to be clear, there’s no point in thinking about it anymore, otherwise, just go find it.”
Zhou Shu looked at them, shook his head and said, "It's not Xiao Gun. I don't have the time or energy to care about him now. I'm thinking about Shu Zhidao."
After the Dao Tribulation, how to continue to develop the Way of Shu is a big question, and more practically, how to use the Way of Shu to build the Life Palace. These are all things that must be thought clearly. In the past, we have continuously improved our cultivation realm. , serving Tao, now it’s the other way around.
Of course, this does not mean that the importance of cultivation realm outweighs Tao, but it is just a side effect of Shu Zhidao.
"ah……"
She knew how important Dao was to Zhou Shu and apologized quickly, "I was presumptuous and shouldn't have disturbed you."
"No, I'm listening here too, so I can't disturb you."
Zhou Shu smiled and looked serious, "Qing, when you are done with this period of work, go to Fang Haomiao's place for retreat."
"The soul power over there is very good, but my understanding of the soul path..." Qingque sighed slightly, "It seems to have reached a bottleneck and can't get up. I have been in seclusion for so many years, but it has no effect. Maybe That’s all I’ve got.”
Her disappointed face made anyone feel distressed when they saw it.
Hao Ruoyan said quickly, "Don't say that, you are the most talented among us."
Qingque smiled bitterly, "That's different. The understanding of Tao is the real talent. You all have it, but I am getting more and more confused and confused."
Zhou Shu shook his head, "That's not a question of understanding, it's a question of Tao."
Zhou Shu saw this clearly.
In the past, Qingque might have had the best talent and good opportunities. He was trained by the Wanhun Sect and had the fastest cultivation speed. Regardless of whether he was a Golden Immortal or a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, he was the fastest, but he gradually fell behind. The further a practitioner goes, the more dependent he is on the Tao. Any slight difference in the Tao may affect the practitioner's future, let alone a small difference?
Hao Ruoyan has a unique advantage in officialdom, and he has a fairy city as big as Xianshu City to practice. Zhao Yueru practices the most vast swordsmanship, and there are always the best opponents to compete with each other. Not to mention Lin Zhu is an anomaly. Bian Xue has artifacts, many relics of saints, good teachers like Tongming Beast and Xie Zheng, Ping An’s natural racial advantage, and Zhou Shu’s completed Tian Mending Dao...
In the final analysis, the Tao they practice is very mature, and it is a proven Tao that can be promoted all the way to the saint.
In comparison, Qingque is far behind.
Because of the relationship between the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, the Soul Dao has gone awry in the heavens for tens of thousands of years, like a confused fog. Although Qingque belongs to both the Xuanhuang Realm Soul Dao and the Ten Thousand Souls Sect’s Soul Dao, he is It is difficult for her ability to select the essence and discard the dross. The choice is uncertain and wavering. No matter how talented and qualified she is, it will be difficult for her to make sustained progress.
Even the Tao itself is unclear. No matter how good the disciple is, he may not be able to find a way out.
To be precise, without the real Grand Master Zhengben Qingyuan, it would be difficult for other soul cultivators to walk on the right path. But there is currently no such Grand Master in the world - in the past tens of thousands of years, there have been no qualified people in this field. Soul cultivators were basically included in the Ten Thousand Souls Sect and then took the wrong path.
Qingque was in a daze for a moment and said to himself, "Shouldn't I practice the Soul Dao?"
"nonsense!"
Zhou Shu scolded, "You were born with a Soul Dao body. What will you do if you don't practice Soul Dao? Don't think about this."
It is not a good thing for any cultivator to question the Tao that he has always believed in. What's more, Qingque has reached this point and it is too late to give up. Zhou Shu must give up this idea.
With a warning, Qingque quickly regained his composure, "I was wrong."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "It's okay. It's just that I didn't speak clearly enough. There's a problem with the Tao I said. It's not the problem with your choice of the Soul Tao, but the problem with the Soul Tao itself. As a kind of Tao, it has been replaced by the Wanhun Sect in recent years. It affects too much.”
Qingque also realized, "Actually, I understand that I shouldn't be affected, but when I think about it and practice, I can't help myself."
Zhou Shu said warmly, "All the heavens have been affected, and it is even more difficult for individuals to get rid of it. Don't be anxious."
Qingque nodded, but the anxiety in his eyes was still obvious, as it would be for anyone who stalled on the road.
Seeing Qingque's expression, everyone else was also worried. Compared with discussing things, the path of one's own people was more important.
