Infinite true path

After listening to Huan Yin's question, Yue Fengyun quickly waved his hand and said: "My lord's identity is of great importance, so naturally it cannot be revealed to Ku Lao. However, with Ku Lao's knowledge and ability to obtain information, coupled with his extraordinary vision, , I think even if I don’t know your exact identity, I should be able to guess that your identity and status must be extremely extraordinary, and you can also guess that you play a decisive role in my Dongfang Eight Heavens.”

Huan Yin raised his eyebrows, showing a somewhat interested look, and said, "Oh? Is there really such a strange person in this world who knows me well even though I haven't even met him yet?"

"This is not surprising if you are talking about Ku Lao." Jiang said, with a hint of admiration in his voice. It seemed that even he was somewhat impressed by this old man.

After thinking about it, Huan Yin said: "Since this old man is the representative of the people and has chosen to come to see me at this time, he must have something to say. In this case, I would rather invite him in to have a banquet with me. After all, Rejecting him is like shutting out the people, and that’s not good.”

"Furthermore, Ku Lao is so extraordinary, and I also want to take this opportunity to see him. If I can listen to a few words of teaching, it will be beneficial to me, and perhaps, it will also be beneficial to the entire Eastern Eight Heavens."

When Huan Yin opened his mouth, naturally no one would say "no". So not long after, a seat was added to the hall, and outsiders would soon arrive, so Huan Yin and the others also restrained themselves a little.

Then, the servant responsible for delivering the message appeared at the door of the Golden Palace, and behind him, an old man with gray hair, wearing a blue plain robe and holding a pine-patterned crutch, followed closely.

"My lords, the old man has arrived." The messenger led the old man to stop at the door, stood respectfully, and said loudly to the inside.

Huan Yin quickly stood up, walked to the door in a few strides, and took a careful look at the old man standing there. I saw that the old man's face was haggard, as if he had experienced incredible years. But his withered face was extremely rosy, like a newborn baby. In this way, this old man seemed a bit strange to others, and it was completely impossible to tell how long he lived.

The old man's eyes were bright and piercing. Huan Yin only looked at him, and he seemed to see the stars and the sea. He felt that it was unfathomable, and even he was far behind.

However, the old man's cultivation level was on the low side, like an ant compared to Huan Yin. Huan Yin used his spiritual sense to examine the old man, and felt that he could see the old man inside and out in an instant. It seemed that the old man was not qualified to talk about the word "profound" in front of him.

Thinking of Yue Fengyun's words when he talked about bitter old age, Huan Yin couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart, thinking that this was the first time he had seen such a person. Soon, when the old man saw Huan Yin approaching him, he immediately put his crutches on the ground and made a gesture of bowing down and bowing to Huan Yin.

Huan Yin quickly supported the old man. When the old man raised his head and looked at Huan Yin, he said: "The ascetic heard that Your Majesty has been coming to my east for eight days and took the liberty to come to visit. I hope that Your Majesty will forgive me for disturbing you."

When the old man spoke, his voice was sonorous and powerful, completely unlike the voice of his twilight years. Moreover, his sincere tone and thorough etiquette made people naturally feel close to him.

Huan Yin helped the old man pick up the crutches and put it back into his hands. Then he said: "You are Ku Lao, right? I stayed in the East for eight days for a long time, but I didn't hear Ku Lao's name, and I didn't have the honor to pay him a visit. , I am really ashamed. I am here today and would like to accompany you and listen to my teachings.”

Seeing Huan Yin being so polite, Ku Lao's eyes suddenly flashed with wonder. After looking at the situation in the golden palace, he said: "Your Excellency, we are halfway through the table. It's when the atmosphere is intense. I'm really grateful that you are willing to distract me from this old bone." Not enough. In this way, the old man is shamelessly disturbing."

Huan Yin said: "The banquet is ready. Ku Lao, hurry up and take a seat. We can have a good chat."

So Huan Yin took Ku Lao's hand and brought him to the seat, and the banquet continued again.

With Ku Lao joining, Huan Yin and the others were naturally less relaxed. However, Ku Lao, an outsider, came to the table halfway and quickly became mingled with everyone. His conversation and behavior are appropriate, his words are sincere and just right, and his every word is exquisite, making it difficult for people not to get close to him.

During the dinner, the person who talked to Ku Lao the most was naturally Huan Yin. He heard that everyone spoke highly of this bitter old man, and he really wanted to ask for advice, so he half chatted and half asked for advice.

Ku Lao is really extraordinary. No matter what questions Huan Yin has, he can slowly explain them to Huan Yin. Even if there are some profound avenues that Huan Yin cannot understand, Ku Lao actually has the answers here. Although Huan Yin is not mature enough and often cannot realize the profound meaning, Ku Lao's few words can open a door of knowledge for Huan Yin, which is like enlightenment, and Huan Yin will naturally benefit a lot.

The more he spoke, the more Huan Yin felt the unfathomable depth of Ku Lao. Ku Lao seemed to be an ancient book. He could find out more or less what Huan Yin didn't know or understand. Insights and answers.

However, the more exchanges he had, the more Huan Yin discovered that the difficulty of Ku Lao was not reflected in his profound knowledge. The most admirable thing about Ku Lao is himself.

Ku Lao's self-cultivation has reached an incredible level. The magnanimity he naturally displayed in his every move was far more than just affinity. He himself is a model of how to behave, and people can't help but want to imitate and learn from him.

Unconsciously, after Ku Lao joined the banquet, more than half an hour had passed. Huan Yin felt that time passed faster than before. It seemed that he was really attracted by Ku Lao, and the concept of time had faded a lot.

But by this time, everyone also knew that the banquet was basically coming to an end. No matter how charming Ku Lao is, Huan Yin still feels this way.

So Huan Yin also knew that it was up to him to say the final words. After inviting everyone to raise their glasses together, he smiled at Mr. Ku, agreed to continue asking for advice tomorrow, and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, Ku Lao suddenly stood up and went straight to Huan Yin. After bowing deeply to Huan Yin, he said: "Sir, my conversation with you just now was too speculative. I actually put today's I have forgotten the reason why I came here, can I say a word again?"

Huan Yin said before that if Mr. Ku comes here, something will happen. It's just that he was deeply attracted by Ku Lao before, so he forgot this section. Ku Lao naturally stayed awake all the time. He just saw that Huan Yin kept asking him for advice and couldn't bear to interrupt, so he never had the chance to bring up the serious matter. Now that the banquet was about to end, he had to say that he had just stood up and even said that he had forgotten about it, which showed his broadmindedness.

Huan Yin finally realized what he was talking about. He thought that people like Ku Lao had made a special trip and what he said might be quite serious, so he said, "Ku Lao, please tell me."

Ku Lao said: "Please spare no effort to forge a sword for me in the Eight Heavens of the East, and I will rule the eight cities forever!"

Huan Yin was stunned, and the rest of the people present were also stunned. Huan Yin quickly asked: "Ku Lao, what do you mean by this?"

Ku Lao knelt down directly to Huan Yin and said with great sincerity: "I heard that the heaven was born in the ancient times. At the beginning, ferocious birds and beasts were rampant, and there were many ancestors who drank blood and killed many people. The heaven at that time, It is much different than what it is now, and it is worthy of being the leader of the three realms.”

"It wasn't until about 1.8 million years ago that the last emperor came out of the sky, brought the teacher of benevolence and righteousness to rule the world, and then ruled the world again. Only then did we have the peaceful heaven we see now. All the people of the Six Paths are thirsty for talent. Being favored by reincarnation, I devoted myself to heaven.”

"The previous emperor once said: 'It is easy to bring peace to the world, but it is difficult to govern the world, and it is especially difficult to govern for a long time. And if you want to govern for a long time, you must first suppress evil!' In this way, we all became familiar with the idea of ​​'the emperor forged a sword'."

"The emperor forged the sword with his own hands in order to suppress the evil spirits and protect the heaven forever. And with that divine sword, my heaven would be stable for a long time. Unfortunately, the divine sword was destroyed by the thunder, and the emperor could no longer create the same divine sword. , so that the great changes in the heavens happened hundreds of years ago.”

"It can be seen that the words of the previous emperor are correct. Only by using the divine sword to quell evil can we be safe for a long time. Now that I, Dongfang Eight Heavens, have gone through many changes, I have finally been put at peace by you. In this case, why don't you follow the example of your ancestors and serve me as Dongfang Eight Heavens? Forge a sword and protect the people?"
