In the evening, Wang Lu received a letter in Gorgeous Town Inn. It was a letter from a seven-colored spirit bird whose wings were surrounded by spirit wind.
"Oh? What is this? "
Wang Lu curiously opened the letter while looking at the bird that was standing on the window lattice and constantly combing its feathers. The bird's posture was very arrogant, and it raised its head high, seemingly looking down on everyone.
After opening the letter, Wang Lu found that the letter was actually sent by the host of the Temple of Heaven in Gorgeous Town. The letter was not long. The gist of it was that the arrival of the distinguished guests was not timely greeted, which was a lack of etiquette. In the evening, a banquet was set up in the Temple of Heaven to respectfully await your arrival... Of course, according to Wang Lu's understanding, the translation of this letter was: Two outsiders, please report to me here.
The Temple of Heaven was indeed worthy to be the hegemon of the Heavenly Earth. Although in theory, it was only a religious organization that served the Heaven, in fact, the tentacles of its power had already spread everywhere and were deeply rooted. Now, even the appearance of two strange cultivators in Gorgeous Town would attract its attention. Its scope of management was really broad. However, this was not surprising. During the day, Wang Lu and Liu Li ostentatiously ran to the Temple of Heaven to visit and even took back a few Heaven News. During this period, they did not deliberately hide their tracks. And if the Temple of Heaven could not even find this kind of foreign cultivator who walked into its own house, it would not be qualified to dominate the Heavenly Earth.
It was just that, Wang Lu did not expect the other party to be so straightforward. In the evening, the invitation letter was delivered to his door... So, should he keep the appointment or not?
When he was thinking about it, he saw that the seven-colored spirit bird was impatiently knocking on the window lattice with its claws, making a gurgling sound, as if it was urging him. Wang Lu impatiently waved his hand. "I have received the letter, you can go now."
The spirit bird suddenly widened its eyes and incredulously stared at Wang Lu, as if it was a young girl who had been molested by a perverted man.
"... Hey, what are you looking at me for? Do you want me to pay for the postage? Tsk, the dignified Temple of Heaven is too tasteless, sending a letter and paying for it. " As Wang Lu spoke, he picked up a peanut from the plate on the table and threw it over. "Hey, eat it."
The bird angrily flapped its wings and swept the peanuts aside. It then let out an excited cry that was crisp and pleasant to the ear.
"Tsk, it's just a stupid bird, yet it's so particular." Wang Lu threw a spirit stone instead. The bird stuck its head out and caught it with its beak. Then, it spread its wings and flew away. However, before it left, it flapped its wings and tail wildly, blowing a large amount of dust and fallen leaves into the room.
After sending away the proud messenger bird, Wang Lu turned his head and saw Liu Li curiously watching the departing back of the bird, seemingly reluctant to part. He couldn't help but laugh. "Hahaha, I forgot to ask you if you like to eat roasted bird."
Liu Li was slightly resentful. "Senior Brother, what do you think I am …"
Then, he carefully swallowed.
That night, Wang Lu and Liu Li appeared on time in front of the Temple of Heaven.
After thinking about it, Wang Lu felt that it was more interesting to keep the appointment. First, the wording of the other party's letter was respectful and polite, and it seemed that there was no evil intention. If he rudely refused, it would appear that he had a guilty conscience. Second, an opportunity to talk directly with the middle-level personnel of the Temple of Heaven was very necessary at this stage.
After all, most of the information obtained through reading the Heaven News was speculation, and many specific matters could not even be guessed. However, if he could talk directly with the monks of the Temple of Heaven, he had the opportunity to get more information.
At night, the Temple of Heaven was no longer open to the public, and the door was closed. When Wang Lu arrived at the entrance of the Temple of Heaven, a plain-dressed girl quietly opened the door, welcomed the two of them in, and led them all the way to the inner hall of the Temple of Heaven.
The banquet in the inner hall had been prepared. There was only one person at the banquet, a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties. From the characteristics of her dress, it could be seen that she was Li Yan, the person in charge of the Temple of Heaven in Gorgeous Town. The woman was dressed in a gorgeous and beautiful dress, which meant that she was ranked fifth among the nine layers of heaven in the Temple of Heaven, and belonged to the backbone of the Temple of Heaven system. The phoenix hairpin on her head was inlaid with a blue stone, which symbolized the status of the leader.
After a simple greeting, Wang Lu and Liu Li took their respective seats. Then, Wang Lu and Li Yan each put on a polite mask and chatted for a while, and then the tone of the banquet was set.
Sure enough, as expected, this was a simple and ordinary meal to deepen each other's feelings. After all, no matter how overbearing the Temple of Heaven was, it would not go so far as to arrogantly offend all the cultivators in the world for no reason. Li Yan invited the two of them to come, but it was more for friendly exchange and to sit down and discuss.
Since the tone of the banquet was set for friendly exchange, after a round of toasting, the topic quickly warmed up. Li Yan inadvertently asked about the origin of the two, and Wang Lu said that it was a hermit cultivator inheritance in the mountain. In any case, with how big the Heavenly Earth was, even the Temple of Heaven could not control the overall situation. At least, it was recorded in the Heavenly News that when the lower realm invaded, many hermit cultivators in the Heavenly Earth generously came out to help.
And Li Yan also did not delve into the hermit cultivator's origin. After skipping over the identity issue, the three of them began to discuss the issue of Immortal Cultivation. Wang Lu and Liu Li came from famous sects, while Li Yan was backed by the Temple of Heaven. Both of them were knowledgeable and had a deep foundation. The two sides' Immortal Cultivation systems were very different, but there was no lack of commonalities. For a time, the discussion was very heated, and both sides felt that they had benefited a lot.
Taking advantage of the heated topic, Wang Lu simply extended the topic and raised a question that he was very concerned about.
"Fellow Daoist Li Yan, I have observed the operation of all things in this world, and all of them contain the supreme path, but there is one thing that I can't understand."
"Fellow Daoist, please go ahead."
"I see that all the creatures in this world are divided into male and female, Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang are in harmony to reproduce and live. For example, the animals, insects, and fish on our dinner plate are like this … But why are we human beings different? Has Fellow Daoist ever thought that perhaps we human beings should also be like other creatures … "
Li Yan took a sip of tea, revealed a smile of understanding, and said, "Fellow Daoist's question seems ordinary, but it actually hits the nail on the head. Why are we human beings different? I believe more than one person has been curious about this question, and the answer is actually very simple. Because when the Heaven created us, it made us the spirit of all things, the leader of all things. Therefore, we have a unique advantage that other creatures do not have! Ordinary creatures need to be divided into Yin and Yang, each having half to live and multiply endlessly, but we human beings can monopolize both sides of Yin and Yang. I think this is also one of the manifestations of human beings being superior to other creatures. As for what Fellow Daoist said about being Yin and Yang, I believe it is just an illusion during cultivation. You see, the Yin and Yang in my body are in harmony, there is no imbalance … Of course, if we talk about the root attribute, I am indeed Yin, but this is because we are only the descendants of Human Immortals, not Immortals in the real sense, so there is still a little deficiency. When our cultivation realm is high enough, this deficiency will also disappear, and by then, we will become truly perfect creatures. "
Wang Lu almost knelt down. Li Yan was indeed worthy to be the backbone of the nine layers of heaven of the Temple of Heaven. The face of this professional swindler was really amazing. A ridiculous theory could actually be said by her in such a convincing manner!
"Then has Fellow Daoist ever considered that some organs in our body look very suspicious …"
Li Yan blinked her eyes and said, "Suspicious organs? Fellow Daoist is referring to … "
Wang Lu very simply and clearly pointed between her legs.
Li Yan was somewhat confused and also somewhat amused, "This is the source of our happiness."
Hey, is the joy of the Temple of Heaven actually this vulgar?!
Wang Lu had to patiently explain further, "I mean a little deeper inside … the internal organs."
Li Yan suddenly understood, "You mean there! Indeed, I don't know what its use is. Apart from making those ordinary people who have never cultivated and can't control their qi and blood every month, it is meaningless. "
Wang Lu then asked, "If our current state is already close to perfection, then don't you think it is unnecessary for that thing to exist? Creatures similar to human beings give birth to the next generation through there, but we don't need to do so. Instead, we are bestowed by the Heaven to the next generation, then … "
Li Yan smiled and said, "Like I said, we Human Immortals are not real Immortals, so it is excusable to leave some traces of imperfection on our body. In fact, in addition to the place you pointed out, there are still many useless things on our body, such as the cecum, isn't it? I think Fellow Daoist is probably too obsessed with the so-called perfection. "
Speaking to this point, perhaps because she was already drunk, Li Yan simply said a few more words.
"Actually, I am very clear about what Fellow Daoist wants to say. Over the years, there have been many people who have raised similar questions to you, including me. I have also thought that there should be a kind of human being in this world, similar to us but different, born masculine, and … But when I carefully read the ancient books of the Temple of Heaven, I gradually realized how stupid my question was. Perhaps in the chaotic era, we human beings were indeed divided into two kinds, Yin and Yang, but later the Heaven sublimated the earth to become the Heavenly Earth, and our ancestors also stood out from ordinary human beings. Presumably, from that time on, we gradually changed. "
"…"
Wang Lu had nothing to say. For a swindler who attributed all problems to the Heaven, it was a waste of time to say more. At this time, Li Yan also finished talking and began to get up to see the guest off.
It was just before they parted, Li Yan sent Wang Lu a letter.
"Fellow Daoist is very knowledgeable, and many of your ideas are deeply inspiring. You have also answered a lot of problems that have troubled me for a long time. Unfortunately, I can't answer all your questions. But the Temple of Heaven is full of talented people. Above me, there are still Open Heaven, Harmonious Heaven, and so on. Presumably, they can answer your questions. However, Fellow Daoist is not a member of the Temple of Heaven, so … take this letter. With it, you can go to the Palace of Heaven to pay a visit to Lady Moonless Harmonious Heaven, and let her answer your questions. "
Wang Lu put away the letter of recommendation, earnestly thanked her, and then was sent all the way to the door by Li Yan.
"Actually, you don't have to thank me. Today, my harvest is bigger than yours. Your understanding of immortal cultivation is an eye-opener. Come to think of it, I just received a few cultivators a few days ago. Many of their viewpoints are similar to yours. If you have the opportunity to meet them, perhaps you'll be able to get along well with them. "
Upon hearing this, Wang Lu was surprised. Many of their views are similar to mine?
At the banquet just now, some of the statements that Wang Lu said that really inspired Li Yan were basically the differences between the cultivation system of Nine Regions and the cultivation system of this immortal dream. And if those people's views were similar to Wang Lu's, it was likely that...
In this immortal dream land, in addition to Wang Lu and Liu Li, there were other people! Moreover, they had already visited Li Yan first!
… The question was, who could it be?
