However, Lou Xiaoyi knew that this was not the end!
The troubles in the secular world had been dealt with, but the problems in the cultivation world had just begun! His despicable method was actually not presentable. It might only be suitable for Damian Prefecture, but it was useless for the prefectures bordering Buddhism.
This kind of response was playing the game of skirting the boundaries. The monks were unlikely to continue to forcibly spread their faith, but it was very likely that they would look for him, the initiator!
Just like how Xiaoyao Taoist went to look for the Thousand Buddha Monks!
However, the first to look for him was not the Thousand Buddha Monks, but Senior Brother Fan Tong and Senior Sister Ka Wah.
"Junior Brother Shan's response is very novel! It's also very effective! The monks are scheming and astute, and they won't give up on destroying my orthodoxy! This arrangement is very unexpected, but fortunately, Junior Brother is quick-witted … "
Fan Tong praised him as soon as they met.
How could Lou Xiaoyi take all the credit for himself?
"It's all because of Senior Brother's advice. I don't have any experience in this area. Since I can't stop them, I can only use some common tricks. I have no choice but to let Senior Brother and Senior Sister laugh at me."
Ka Wah frowned, "I don't mean to blame you, but your way of doing things is detrimental to my reputation …"
Lou Xiaoyi did not argue, it was meaningless. He was not the person in charge of Sharjah, and he had not really integrated into the core circle of the Xiaoyao Sect. Arguing with others was very childish. Moreover, he did not understand this Senior Sister's temper. In fact, he did not understand the other disciples in Sharjah. He did not believe that a Jin Dan could be so shallow that she did not even have a basic judgment of right and wrong. So, what was the hidden meaning behind her words?
Fan Tong waved his hand, "It's an emergency, it's pardonable! Junior Brother Shan is new, and it's not easy for him to have such a performance. Don't be too harsh! Junior Sister Ka Wah, Dam Province was originally under your command, so you are most familiar with it. Why don't I trouble Junior Sister to make another trip and settle things according to Ghost Sect's request? "
Ka Wah turned and left. She was probably going to restrain the various Taoist temples in front of the dam. Before Lou Xiaoyi came, this place was under her control for at least ten years. No one was more familiar with these Taoist treasures than her.
After Ka Wah had left, Fan Tong sighed. "Do you think Ka Wah is too strict? Can't you tell what's important? "
Lou Xiaoyi said seriously, "I've only been in Shajia for a short period of time, so there are many things that I'm not familiar with. I think Senior Sister Ka Wah has her reasons?"
Fan Tong changed the subject. "Junior brother, what do you think of the factional strife within Carefree Travel? Do you think it's unfair? "
Lou Xiaoyi understood what he meant. "People have close relatives and distant relatives. Families have distant relatives, not to mention a sect like Carefree Travel?
For cultivators who have been in the Carefree Continent since the beginning of their cultivation, it's human nature to treat the sect like a writer and reject new followers of unknown origins. After all, from the perspective of contribution, loyalty, feelings, and so on, it's very difficult to truly trust outsiders. This requires time and interaction …
But I thought that since we're already under the same roof, we should at least show a willingness to maintain contact? And not set up artificial defenses against each other?
Senior brother, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, but how many people like us are willing to submit?
I'm not blaming anyone. This is the truth. When the elders of Carefree Travel pulled us into the sect, they didn't want to add trouble to themselves, did they?
Separation will definitely happen. This is destined. But if they don't want to eliminate it, but instead expand it artificially, then the cracks will only grow bigger and bigger. It'll only increase internal friction, and it won't help at all! "
Fan Tong nodded. "Junior Brother Shan sees clearly! You have a Taoist heart. Unfortunately, not everyone has a Taoist heart. There will always be those who think they're better than others …
In the three years of Shajia, junior brother, did you see anything? "
Lou Xiaoyi smiled bitterly. "In terms of preaching, we Taoists are not even worthy of carrying shoes for Buddhists! So I don't think that under such competition rules, we Carefree Travel have any chance! We can guard against it once, but we can't guard against it next time. If it's always like this, junior brother, I, will probably find a chance to get rid of this task … "
Fan Tong pointed at him. "Junior brother, you're very sharp! But since you're here, without my approval, I'm afraid you can't leave! Unless you leave the sect!
But you're right about one thing! My Daoist Sect is not only free and unfettered. Including the other Daoist Sects, we have never won against Buddhism in the mortal world! "
Lou Xiaoyi had long suspected this. "Then, Carefree Travel has never been driven out of Shajia. Why is that? Daoist Zhao's jade slip doesn't seem to mention this? "
Fan Tong sighed. "For cultivators, a continent's ownership is determined by the gains and losses of mortals? Is that possible?
In the end, we still have to do it!
The premise of doing it is when the other party is at the end of their rope … "
Lou Xiaoyi understood. "Just like Carefree Travel now? Being forced into a corner, the core foundation is unstable, and being invaded?
Then, I've ruined everyone's good fortune? "
Fan Tong smiled bitterly. "It's not your fault. You don't know! Our original plan was to take advantage of the Buddhist invasion to provoke a chess game! Solve this problem!
The reason why I didn't tell you, I admit, is because your identity as a new addition has not been recognized by everyone. Junior brother, don't blame others. If you want to blame someone, blame me, your senior brother!
Today's talk, not only because of junior brother's unique methods, but also because of junior brother's understanding of things … "
Isn't it too late for me to say it now? "
Lou Xiaoyi didn't care. He wasn't a petty person, and it was impossible for him to hold a grudge just because others didn't trust him. Living in this cultivation world, one had to adapt to the way this world interacted. The universe didn't revolve around him, Lou Xiaoyi.
"It's not too late. If you say it, it's never too late! I, your Junior Brother, also know how to cooperate!
But senior brother, I still don't understand. You said that you planned to provoke a chess game, and your words have the intention to take the initiative. Do you think you'll definitely win?
Also, why do you have to provoke a chess game when you're at the end of your rope? What's so special about it? Can't it be resolved in advance? "
Fan Tong shook his head. "It's like this. The battle between Daoists and Buddhists on the small continent is a very important aspect in the history of cultivation in the Zhou Xian Upper Realm. It's not only between Shaka, nor between the Ten Thousand Buddhas and Carefree Travel!
Right now, there are hundreds of small continents that have similar situations happening! It's not only between Daoists and Buddhists, but also between Daoists! Just think about the three thousand small continents around the Nine Great Sects, and you'll clearly understand the frequency and inevitability of this kind of thing!
Since it's the main theme, of course there must be certain rules. Otherwise, the Zhou Xian Upper Realm would've been in chaos long ago. How could it be as peaceful as it is now?
The rule is to compete in the promotion of Daoism first! After the promotion of Daoism is decided, we'll use the cultivation method to settle everything! "
