Dragon's Origin

As soon as Wang Sheng heard this, he knew it must be related to him.

Speaking of vying for power and profit, what power are Taoists fighting for, and what profit are they seizing? What power and profit could be more worthy of contention than the core inheritance of Taoism?

In the past, no matter how powerful the experts of Taoism were, they couldn't break through that inheritance formation, so everyone could only watch and drool, and no one could do anything about it.

Since no one could get it, no one had any objections. But now it's different. There was Wang Sheng, a remarkable person who claimed to be able to pass through the formation easily without destroying it. That core inheritance might be taken out. Not just maybe, but very likely, because Wang Sheng had already performed in front of them, passing through ten formations unscathed.

If they couldn't get it, they couldn't get it, but if they could, who wouldn't want it? Regardless of whether Wang Sheng could enter, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, everyone would fight for it. Even if everyone got a share, what about the order?

What the old Taoist disliked and couldn't stand the most was this kind of behavior. Everyone came from Taoism, and even if their ideas were different, they were still a family. Why did they have to be so clear? But these younger generations usually listened to the ancestor in life, but only on inheritance did the ancestor's words not work. The old Taoist was so angry that he couldn't calm down even with the Lin character formula.

"What is there to fight for?" Wang Sheng had the same idea as the old Taoist, but the difference was that Wang Sheng never felt that it made any sense to argue about who something belonged to before it was in hand. Just like in the fable, the two brothers started arguing about whether to steam or boil the wild goose before they had shot it down. As a result, the wild goose flew away, and the two didn't come to any conclusion. It was meaningless.

As soon as this sentence came out, the old Taoist immediately felt a sense of kindred spirit. He was already upset, so he simply pulled Wang Sheng to drink. The two once again set up wine and meat in the main hall of the Sutra Collection Building. The old Taoist drank and cursed, finally calming down after venting.

"I've learned almost enough here. After experimenting with dozens more formations, I estimate I'll be able to advance soon." Wang Sheng's original purpose was to advance, and everything else was just a side job. He didn't hide it from the old Taoist: "After I advance, I'll leave and say that I can't open that inheritance formation either. Let's see what they have to fight for."

"Good idea, let's do it!" The old Taoist didn't expect that a single 'action' character formula could cause such a big mess. He completely agreed with Wang Sheng's approach. The two smiled contentedly and drank a large glass.

"You've studied the Nine Syllable Mantra almost enough, and the timing is good, so just pass it on." Wang Sheng saw that the old Taoist seemed to be still struggling with the younger generation's competition, so he gave him a bad idea: "Aren't they fighting? Good! Cultivate the Nine Syllable Mantra themselves. Whoever cultivates the 'action' character formula to the point where they can enter that formation can take the inheritance. Strength speaks, and others have nothing to say, right?"

"The method is not bad." The old Taoist looked at Wang Sheng and suddenly asked: "You created the Nine Syllable Mantra yourself. Teaching it to me is a matter of friendship, but if I pass it on, it's another matter. That would be the supreme classic and heirloom of Taoism. Have you thought about it? If you have any conditions, put them forward now. If you don't, I'm afraid it will be like calligraphy, and you'll have nothing to do with it. Even if I acknowledge it, those little cubs who are fighting over it will definitely not acknowledge it. Unless you are willing to be a Dharma Protector of my Taoism, otherwise the Taoist secret book can never come from a carefree city assassin, even if you are a marquis conferred by the emperor."

"Forget it! Dharma Protector of Taoism, I'm not interested for the time being." Wang Sheng shook his head. The old Taoist had long wanted Wang Sheng to join Taoism, but Wang Sheng had always refused.

"Since you are so sincerely inviting me to make a request, then I will not be polite." Speaking of requests, Wang Sheng could easily make many: "Old Lord Temple has many experts, and it's a waste of talent to keep them all in Old Lord Temple. It's better to let them go out and see the world, stabilize their Taoist hearts. It just so happens that I may be starting a few businesses over there, and I need a group of experts to protect them. Look, it's a good opportunity for them to experience the world! Aren't you tempted?"

The old Taoist pointed at Wang Sheng, speechless for a long time. It was clear that Wang Sheng wanted the experts to come out to protect him, but he actually managed to say that it was giving them a chance to experience the world. It was simply shameless. Only the old Taoist could let Wang Sheng talk nonsense like this. If it were those few temple masters, they would have spat on Wang Sheng's face long ago.

"Experiencing the world, stabilizing the Taoist heart." Pondering these two words, the old Taoist suddenly felt that they were becoming more and more meaningful, truly wonderful.

"Yes!" Wang Sheng also pointed out the old Taoist's faults: "Old Taoist, you go out all the time when you have nothing to do, you have seen the world, you are used to people's hearts, and you have reached a state of purity and inaction. But how many of those Taoist experts have seen the world like you? Aren't they spending most of their lives cultivating in Taoist temples? If their state of mind and experience are not enough, where does the Taoist heart come from? You force them to be pure and inactive, but they have never picked it up, so how can they let it go?"

This was the first time Wang Sheng had said these words, and no one had ever said this to the old Taoist before. After listening to Wang Sheng's words, the old Taoist was completely stunned, murmuring: "Never picked it up, so how can they let it go? Never picked it up, so how can they let it go?"

"Don't always say that people are pursuing fame and fortune and indulging in cultivation." Wang Sheng continued to comment, this was a great opportunity to untie the old Taoist's knot: "If it weren't for these Taoist experts guarding the place, just you, old Taoist, Old Lord Temple would have been destroyed countless times. We don't bully people, but we can't be bullied, right? Some things are not black and white, and not all of them are wrong."

"Take those methods of spreading Taoism that you are not satisfied with, for example." Wang Sheng continued to comment, this was a great opportunity to untie the old Taoist's knot: "You say that people are indulging in the world and forgetting to concentrate on Taoism. Do you call it indulging in the world if they never enter prosperous places and only appear in Taoist temples? Have you ever been in the world? Have you ever been to a brothel? Have you ever spent a lot of money? You still reach out and take the hard-earned family property accumulated by others from the Old Lord Temple's treasury. Is that called purity and inaction?"

The old Taoist was furious. When had he ever reached out and taken things from the treasury? Just as he was about to refute, Wang Sheng directly produced four hammers and a chisel. The materials for these hammers and chisels were originally taken from the Old Lord Temple's treasury. The evidence was irrefutable, and the old Taoist couldn't open his mouth to defend himself.

"Who said I haven't spent a lot of money?" The old Taoist opened his mouth a few times, and finally blurted out this sentence: "When I was in Carefree City, I was also a notorious spender. When I was powerful, you little brat didn't know where you were!"

"So, you've had your fun, and you have to give others a chance to have fun too!" Wang Sheng immediately started talking nonsense again.
