Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

"It doesn't take so many people to distract its spirit, right?" Hu Houqing said.

Fakong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you think an ant can distract the elephant's spirit?"

Hu Houqing smiled bitterly, "Only when there are many ants can the elephant die. Unfortunately, we ants can't kill the dragon."

Fakong said, "Its power is beyond imagination. We need to work harder and make further progress."

"Make further progress..." Hu Houqing sighed, "It's difficult."

They have been practicing hard until now, and it has reached their limit. It's like climbing a towering mountain with all their might. It's steep and high. They climbed hard, one after another, and became more and more exhausted. They finally reached the top with one breath.

In addition to the ecstasy, this breath was also released.

If they want to go back and climb again, they may be afraid and don't want to climb again.

This is human nature.

Monk Yuande said slowly: "It is indeed very difficult."

Fakong said: "We in the martial arts world have to climb peak after peak. How can we stop? Stopping means being surpassed by others, and being surpassed by others means that our lives are in the hands of others."

"Master," Hu Houqing said: "That's the truth, but how many people really follow the truth?"

Fakong said: "They are still young, it should be okay."

Why choose young people? It's because the high spirits in their nature are strong and the sharpness is strong.

People in this period are full of vigor and like to climb, instead of being tired and unwilling to make progress.

Hu Houqing and Monk Yuande looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

They think Fakong is too optimistic.

They think Fakong is not like them, eating and sleeping with them and practicing together, so they can't understand the mentality of these people.

It is hard for everyone to be trapped in Zhenlongyuan and practice hard. They are still not used to it after such a long time.

At the beginning, they were eager to practice hard, fearing that they would not be able to suppress the dragon after it was born.

Later, as the time for the dragon to be born approached, they began to hope that the dragon would be born quickly, so that they could leave Zhenlongyuan.

Now that the dragon was suppressed by them again, they had completed their mission, and their hearts were relieved. They couldn't wait to leave, return to their respective sects, and return to their own homes.

The homesickness became stronger and stronger.

At this time, it was almost impossible for them to continue to practice hard in seclusion.

Fakong smiled and said, "Let them relax first, go back and take a look, and come back in a month."

"I'm afraid they won't come back again." Hu Houqing sighed.

He looked at those people playing crazily. At this time, they didn't have the momentum and demeanor of martial arts masters at all. They were more like children, completely liberated from their nature.

These are all top masters, the essence of the world's martial arts, and it is rare to be able to gather together.

It's probably impossible to gather together again.

Fakong said, "You can't just give up, can you?"

"Yeah..." Hu Houqing sighed, "You can't just give up, that would be a catastrophe for all people."

Monk Yuande said, "Master, if we don't help, can you subdue the dragon now?"

Fakong smiled, "Master, do you think it's better to subdue it, or not?"

Monk Yuande and Hu Houqing were stunned.

They immediately understood what Fakong meant.

Fakong can obviously subdue the dragon now, but he doesn't mean to subdue it alone.

Why is that?

There must be a deep meaning behind it.

What deep meaning?

Fakong smiled at the two of them.

He didn't want to hide anything from them.

The minds of these two people are not ordinary people. They are not only concerned about their own gains and losses, but also the whole world.

Monk Yuande frowned and said, "Master, you can actually subdue the dragon now, but you still want everyone to come together. Is it... to unite people's hearts?"

Fakong smiled and nodded.

"Concentrate your hearts... to eliminate barriers." Monk Yuande pondered: "Master, do you want to eliminate disputes?"

"What I wish for is peace in the world." Fakong said: "People in the world live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer suffer from wars."

"Master, this is your great wish." Monk Yuande said solemnly.

Hu Houqing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said solemnly: "Master, you want these top masters to work together, understand each other, and thus form friendships and eliminate disputes."

Fakong said: "This is a bit wishful thinking, but I want to give it a try, I have to give it a try."

Monk Yuande nodded slowly and said: "Although it seems impossible, how can we know if it won't work if we don't try?"

Hu Houqing said with emotion: "Master, you have a great mind, I admire you!"

He clasped his hands solemnly.

Fakong clasped his hands together in return: "In your opinion, is this possible?"

Hu Houqing smiled bitterly: "Even if there is a friendship, once the interests of the sect are involved, I am afraid that the fight will still have to happen."

People value interests more. In front of interests, everything becomes insignificant. Not to mention ordinary friendships, even fathers and sons can still turn against each other.

Fakong said: "I don't expect to completely eliminate the disputes. The key is to enhance their cultivation. The stronger their cultivation, the more power they have to speak, and the greater the influence on their respective sects."

"I am afraid that in the end, the master's painstaking efforts will be in vain." Hu Houqing sighed.

Being in the royal family, he certainly knows the influence of interests on people's hearts.

"Your Majesty is too pessimistic," Fakong said: "They are still young, and all of them have advanced cultivation. They may not value interests so much, but more importantly, feelings."

"Indeed." Monk Yuande nodded.

Young people are not so sophisticated and do not value worldly interests that much. They value their own feelings and emotions more.

Friends are often made when we are young. As we get older, it becomes harder and harder to make friends.

When you are young, you value friendship more, and you can sacrifice your own interests for the sake of friendship. When you are older, you value interests even more.

Hu Houqing said: "I hope it will be useful."

"Then let them come back in a month." Fakong said, "I just want to trouble the prince."

Hu Houqing said: "I also have the same wish as the master, but only the three of us know about this matter. It is best not to leak it."

This is not in the interest of Dayun.

He knew that Hu Lieyuan had always wanted to dominate the world. If it weren't for Zhen Longyuan, he would have been eager to take action.

If Hu Lieyuan knew that Fa Kong could subdue the dragon, he would definitely withdraw the masters who suppressed Longyuan and start the road to unify the world.

"Amitabha." Monk Yuande nodded solemnly: "Subduing the dragon is for the sake of all the people in the world, and the same is true for uniting people's hearts. They are all things of immeasurable merit."

Fakong said: "Then let's let the dragon ascend to the abyss again in two months."

Monk Yuande and Hu Houqing looked at Fakong in confusion.

Didn’t you say one year later?

Fakong said: "If I harass it, it will naturally rise to the abyss."

"One month of retreat time..." Hu Houqing smiled: "This time is just right."

After a month of rest, everyone can tolerate it.

This time is just right.

If it were longer, everyone might not be able to bear it, and if it was shorter, the effect wouldn't be that strong.

Fakong said: "After we come and go a few times, we will become more familiar and friendly when we see each other again, and we will become closer."

Hu Houqing asked: "Master, how many times do you want it?"

"Let's see the effect." Fakong said: "There are too many times, I'm afraid the emperor can see it."

Hu Houqing nodded hurriedly.

Monk Yuande said: "Then there should be more changes so that no one will doubt it."

Hu Houqing nodded vigorously: "Exactly, more changes will make it more attractive."

They then thought hard about how to make more changes.
