The lecture soon began.
To Lou Xiaoyi's relief, the earth cultivators didn't have the bad habit of beating around the bush and went straight to the point.
Taoist Zang Hua was the first to go on stage to teach. He talked about how the weak could overcome the strong.
"People are weak when they are born, but they are strong when they die. Plants are weak when they are born, but they wither when they die. Therefore, those who are strong will die, and those who are weak will live. The strong soldiers are destroyed, and the strong trees are broken. The strong are at the bottom, and the weak are at the top … "
The Foundation Building cultivators below were mesmerized by his words, but in Lou Xiaoyi's ears, they were empty. Big but speechless, high but invisible …
Taoist Zang Lan Mingxiu focused more on the temperament. "If you don't see, you're clear; if you don't know, you're exposed; if you don't fight, you're meritorious; if you don't boast, you're strong; if you don't fight, you're unrivaled in the world.
I have three treasures, and I protect them. The first is kindness, the second is frugality, and the third is not daring to be first in the world.
Live in a good place, have a good heart, be benevolent, speak well, govern well, do well, and act well at the right time. If you don't fight, you're unrivaled … "
The state of mind was a very elusive thing for cultivators, and it was rarely mentioned in ordinary sects. It was about self-understanding. Taoist Zang Lan Mingxiu's words might be in line with the meaning of Dao, but to the Swordsman, it was completely inappropriate. After talking for so long, where was the difference?
Fortunately, these cheap words were not for the Swordsman, but for the Haitang Flower Master.
The last one to go up was Nishang Fairy. This was the first time Lou Xiaoyi saw her. In one word, she was very fairy-like!
Why was she fairy-like? In one word, she was light!
Of course, you could also understand it as thin! But the thinness of a fairy and the thinness of a mortal who didn't have enough to eat were two different concepts. It wasn't that her eyes were sunken and her cheeks were fleshless, but an indescribable feeling of floating, as if a gust of wind could blow her up to the Celestial Court.
His appearance was ethereal, and his voice was ethereal as well. When his words came out of his mouth, his voice descended from the heavens as if it was a celestial voice. This was also a major characteristic of the Three Pure Ones cultivators when they preached. They were good at creating environments and using astronomical phenomena to increase their persuasiveness.
"All things under the heavens are of the same nature. Since nature is good, it gives birth to all things. The nature of the earth is good, nourishing all living things, without exception. Saints know the world of music theory and practice the world, so all things are greatly benefited by their merit. Immortal Zhenren helps the heavens and the earth, but he doesn't dare to take it lightly. He respects it, values it, accepts it, and protects it … "
Nishang Fairy had been talking all the way, and she had her own style. The Three Pure Ones cultivators also had another characteristic, which was that they were good at interaction. He would often randomly ask the people who were listening to him to ask and answer. Then, based on the people's answers, he would introduce a deeper level of promotion, making the listeners feel a strong sense of participation.
The people he chose were not restricted to one category. There were Foundation Establishment disciples, Jin Dan fellow cultivators, female cultivators, and strong men. Tao was divided into Yin and Yang, and it was originally impossible to separate it. How could he be afraid of Yin and afraid of Yang?
His eloquence was really good. Coupled with the cadence of his intonation and the depth of his Tao, he often had a glimmer of hope when he was at a dead end. When he ran out of words, he suddenly had a different peak, which made people addicted.
Lou Xiaoyi had experienced the mouth of the Three Pure Ones cultivators before. On the Hasa Star, there was the gentle, humorous, sincere, and polite Taoist Bi Ti! Behind his admirable demeanor, he just wanted to drag him to hell with him.
Of course, Bi Ti was like this, but the Fairy was not necessarily like this. Even if it was the tradition of the Three Pure Ones, there must be outstanding and independent people among them. He would not prejudge who was a bad person in advance. There was no good or bad in the Cultivation World.
"In the Tao of Life, avoid greed and completeness. Perseverance is the Nirvana Realm … Among the three thousand weak waters, only one ladle is taken; among the ten thousand beautiful flowers, only one branch is taken … Fellow cultivator, let me ask you, why only one ladle is taken?"
Lou Xiaoyi suddenly felt that he was the center of attention. Oh, no, it was the center of attention. The Fairy Nishang was pointing at him.
In theory, it was normal for the speaker to point at anyone, especially those who were in the front row. However, thousands of cultivators listened to the Tao, and there was a very small probability of being pointed at. If you said that it was completely unintentional, you would be deceiving yourself and others.
In particular, the Jin Dan cultivators were not pointed at casually. If it was Yuanying who was preaching, pointing at them casually was called supporting. If it was Jin Dan who was at the same level as Jin Dan cultivators, there was something inexplicable in it.
Considering that the speaker was the Three Pure Ones, and the one listening was Xuanyuan, there was a deep meaning in it! Everyone knew that Xuanyuan was good at swordsmanship and fighting, but his knowledge of Tao theory was very limited. He was agile in action, but clumsy in speech!
Only Jin Dan, a cultivator from Shanshui Lake, could roughly guess Nishang Fairy's intentions. Since the conflict between Jiu Shi and Haitang Flower Master, a group of cultivators led by Yan Qiang and Gong Xiaodie insisted that they should apologize to the Flower Master. This was in line with the Kun Dao Conference's purpose of equality and education.
It was their insistence that made the cultivators around Nishang Fairy have no choice but to agree to the last speech for Haitang Flower Master.
Factional undercurrents existed everywhere. Even the cultivators who were detached from worldly affairs were no exception. It was just that their circle was more gentle and not as direct and bloody as the outside world.
Nishang Fairy, who originally didn't want to preach at the conference, had the idea of disgusting Xuanyuan. She wasn't tired of preaching, but she hated being forced to do so. In her opinion, it wasn't her fault. It was just a dispute between the two of them, and it didn't cause irreparable results. Why did it have to be like this?
There were deaths and injuries in fights between human cultivators, but they weren't so fragile and spoiled.
Lou Xiaoyi didn't know this. Yan Qiang was afraid that he would cause trouble, so she didn't mention it to him. Although he didn't know the truth, it didn't mean that he didn't understand the contempt in Nishang Fairy's words.
This was the simplest and most basic principle of Daoism. Everyone knew it and there was no other answer. Not to mention the Jindan Stage, even the Qi-eating cultivators who had just entered the path of Daoism and even the mortals who had read some books could understand it!
She didn't want to cause trouble for him, but he still wanted to flirt with her. Lou Xiaoyi didn't fall for her tricks.
"Only taking a ladle of drink, probably because you don't have a wooden bucket?"
Yan Qiang and Gong Xiaodie smiled. This person was good at fighting, but he couldn't learn Taoism. However, bickering and pestering were his natural skills.
"Only taking a ladle of drink, probably because you only have a wooden ladle. A man only marries one wife, and the only reason is that he doesn't have the money to marry a second one. A woman longs for eternal youth. She wants to be 20 this year and 18 the next year. Where is the end of her desire? However, she is forced by the environment, limited by her strength, and hindered by her opportunities.
The Three Pure Ones have a lot of business, and their disciples have countless buckets and jars. However, they teach others to use a wooden ladle. This is too much! "
Lou Xiaoyi was talking nonsense here, but he didn't show any pity for the Hickory Staff Fairy's cold face. This was also why Xiaodie of the Misty Cloud Palace was most satisfied with him. He didn't show any emotion, but when he turned hostile, he would bite whoever he caught. He didn't care about whether they were fairies or not.
