I rely on tricks to cultivate my longevity

Lin Xixue imitated the appearance of the Confucian scholar, raised her skirt and sat down on her knees.

In front of her is a rather complicated chessboard, but she doesn't know Go, so she can only watch the fun without knowing it.

The buck-toothed Confucian scholar on the opposite side of the chessboard still hid one hand behind his back, as if he didn't intend to take it out.

"What's your problem, little friend, why don't you tell me clearly?" The buck-toothed Confucian scholar seemed very calm, and didn't intend to hide anything.

"Who are you? Are you Lei Zu?" Lin Xixue also cut to the chase.

"At the beginning of ancient times, who preached the word? My little friend, do you understand this question?" The Confucian scholar with buck teeth asked her such a question first.

"Some guesses, but I'm not entirely sure."

"Little friend, can you share your own insights with this old man?"

"For some reason, this world has two completely different ways of heaven, so there are two different ways of practice. Maybe it is the invasion of heaven from another world, or the accidental fusion of heaven in two worlds."

"Hehe, little friend is indeed a wonderful person, to say such shocking words." The buck-toothed Confucian scholar smiled and shook his head.

"So, am I right?"

"I don't know."

"I don't know?"

Lin Xixue is a little sullen, is this buck-toothed kid playing tricks on him sincerely?
"What is metaphysical is called Dao, and what is metaphysical is called tool. What my little friend said is related to the way of heaven. How can an old man be able to judge whether it is right or wrong?"

"I don't have time to do these word riddles with my husband, so I just said it straight, are you Lei Zu?" Lin Xixue gradually lost her patience, she still had a lot of things to do now.

"So, little friend, how do you feel, do you think I am, or not?" Confucian scholar was not angry when he heard her reprimand, but he continued to ask.

"No." Lin Xixue replied decisively, "Lei Zu should be that meatball monster!"

After playing charades with this buck-toothed boy for a long time, although she was full of anger, she could clearly feel that he and Tianzun were obviously not the same kind of existence.

If I have to say it, it is very similar to the owner of the Wuzeng Temple, Empress Embroidered.

"Little friend is really smart. If you think I am not, then I am not, but if the world thinks that I am, then I am!" The buck-tooth boy said such a meaningful sentence.

Lin Xixue frowned when she heard this, she felt as if she understood something.

Why does this buck-tooth boy want to deceive the world and make the world think he is Lei Zu?
Why is it that Shenxiao's lineage, who enshrines such a fake Leizu, can also learn the real Leifa?

wrong!It's not that he deceived the people of the world, wanting to make the people of the world think that he is Lei Zu, but because—everyone in the world thinks he is Lei Zu, so he became Lei Zu!
What is the source of strength?Why do these weird beings collect incense?

It is belief and consensus!
The collective unconsciousness of the people in the world, the potential consensus formed, will produce some incredible abilities, or provide food for some things that should not exist in the event!
This buck-toothed Confucian scholar is using the beliefs and consensus of the people of the world to absorb the power of incense.

He is cultivating in this way!

"You let the world think that you are Lei Zu, in order to absorb the power of the world's incense and strengthen your own cultivation, am I right?" Lin Xixue asked.

"Little friend is half right. It is true that I have absorbed the power of incense from the world, but a very small part of the power of incense I obtained was given to the real Leizu, and most of it was fed back to the Taoism of Shenxiao's lineage. I myself Less than [-]% are left."

Hearing that Lin Xixue had misunderstood him, he was not angry, and still explained patiently.

"Little friend must have heard the saying, "Zibuyu is strange and chaotic?"

"That's right." Lin Xixue nodded, she had heard and thought about this sentence a lot recently.

"The reason why I wanted to eradicate the strange powers and chaos in the world was because I found that if the common people heard and saw the strangeness itself, it would directly grow the strangeness."

"So I guess, it's because Weird has absorbed an invisible and intangible power. I tentatively named this power, called the people's heart."

Baoya Confucian scholars have said this, how can Lin Xixue not hear it now, and immediately said in surprise: "You are the most holy Confucianism?"

"Hehe." He smiled wistfully, "Whether it's a literary sage or the most holy, it's just a false name, and it's just a piece of loess in the end."

"My ancestor's surname is Lu, and he is the second child in my family. My friends call me Lu Er."

Lin Xixue cupped her hands and made a bow, and Lu Er continued to talk: "After I discovered this kind of power called people's heart, I wanted to completely eradicate the strange power and chaos in the world."

"It's a pity that this move didn't go well in the end. After all, the people still need some strength to support their hearts."

"So then you found out that instead of letting the common cognition of these common people, that is, the hearts of the people scatter and cause the world to become more chaotic, it is better for you to gather them together." Lin Xixue expressed her conjecture.

"That's right, the more chaotic the world is, the more the people will need the stories of ghosts and gods to comfort themselves, and the more they will turn back and grow weird again. And after the weird grows, the world will become more chaotic."

Lin Xixue only felt a headache, this is indeed a standard vicious circle.

"Does my friend know Li Chuan?"

Lin Xixue nodded, how could she not know about this long river that traverses the entire continent?But she has only heard of it, and has never been there.

But, why did Lu Er suddenly mention Li Chuan?

"In the 72nd year of Jingyun, Lichuan flooded, and countless people were killed and injured. I was ordered to go to sacrifice the river. This is the scene you saw last time."

"After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the river, suddenly a strange fish rose up from the clouds, driving the light and electricity, and wandering around the wilds. He called himself Lei Zu."

"He said, if I am willing to convert to Him and collect the power of incense and incense in the world for Him, I will no longer flood Lichuan in the future."

"Although I cater to it on the surface, I have long been concerned about it in my heart. On the one hand, I have established the lineage of Shenxiao, imitating the ancient Zhuanxu's Jedi Tiantong, and collecting all the incense in my own hands."

"On the other hand, I did not follow Lei Zu's instructions to erect a statue for him. Instead, I erected statues for myself in various places in Yunzhou, and incidentally fabricated the so-called Shenxiao Taoism."

"Since you didn't follow Lei Zu's orders, why didn't he bother you?" Lin Xixue stroked her chin in thought, but she couldn't help but slightly frowned, pointing out something suspicious.

"He was naturally furious and wanted to kill me the next year, but it's a pity that after all, he miscalculated the power of the people in Yunzhou, and with the incense collected this year, he couldn't kill me. "

"So, I made a deal with him. I will continue to collect the power of incense in the world, and share the power of incense with him every year. He needs to pass down the thunder method and distribute it to the disciples of Shenxiao."

After Lin Xixue heard about this experience, she couldn't help admiring her. She is indeed a sage of Confucianism, and she is indeed a person with great determination, great perseverance, and great courage.

However, after hearing these words, Lin Xixue thought of a new question.
Wuhu, Chapter 2 is delivered, I feel that the thinking of this chapter is very smooth, and the writing is so fast!
