Dan Jing: I Told You to Kiss Her!
That feels great!
Dan Jing half-rose, his Golden Eyes blazing as he gazed intently at Fuxi and Xuan Ming, who were embracing each other on the banks of the great river.
They looked on with great excitement.
"I hugged him!"
"Laozi have to record this!"
"Hahaha..."
"..."
"No? What happened next?"
"You two just hugged?!"
Is it this vegetarian?
"..."
"Her mouth!"
"Her mouth!!"
"Useless Fuxi, Laozi 'll let you spit on her!!!"
"..."
Where is Xuan Ming?
"Go!"
"You're usually so proactive, aren't you? You pinned Fuxi down by the river and forced yourself on him!"
"With the sky as our blanket, the earth as our mat, and the flowing water as our melody, what a perfect opportunity!"
"Hold Fuxi down and force yourself on him!!"
"..."
Now.
Below the steps of the Mountain Ridge Palace--
After a while, Laozi heard the undisguised shouts coming from inside the palace, and his old face stiffened. He didn't know whether to speak up or leave.
We arrived at a bit of an inopportune time!
Who knows--
He had barely arrived when Fuxi and Xuan Ming... they were already hugging each other!
But this person was engrossed in watching the show right now.
I thought about it.
Laozi stood quietly at the bottom of the steps, neither leaving nor speaking.
His arrival--
It is by no means something unknown that there is a monarch in the palace.
So.
Leaving now will not only cause trouble, but it will be a major one!
A long time.
After Laozi saw that Fuxi and Xuan Ming had finished embracing and left the riverbank hand in hand, he withdrew his gaze.
Then.
Just as they were about to pay their respects to the Mountain Ridge Palace, they heard Dan Jing's voice fall:
"Come up."
Upon hearing this...
Laozi's original words of requesting an audience were on the tip of his tongue, but he changed his tune accordingly:
"I humbly obey Your Majesty's decree!"
After the bow...
Laozi then took a step, ascending the steps one by one, and entered the palace.
They entered the palace.
Laozi saw Houtian Spirit Treasures Dan Jing with a scroll of paintings depicting the events that had just transpired between Fuxi and Xuan Ming by the river.
Um--
I only glanced at it once, Laozi I didn't look at it again.
Laozi didn't dare utter a single word about this person's hobbies or interests.
They simply bowed obediently.
"Taiqing Laozi pays respects to Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this...
Dan Jing nodded casually and said:
"Speak!"
"What brings you to see me, sir?"
"Besides--"
"You're not calling yourself Lao Dan anymore? You're not changing your name?"
While they were talking.
Dan Jing put down the Houtian Treasure in his hand and looked at Laozi with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Upon hearing these words...
Laozi's expression also stiffened slightly.
"To be honest, Your Majesty... changing one's name is extremely difficult."
Someone of his stature cannot simply have his name changed.
First, a name must suit oneself; second, it must be recognized by the Great Dao of heaven and earth.
It's simple and suits your own nature.
But how difficult it is to gain the approval of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!
However, if one cannot gain the approval of Heaven and Great Dao, changing one's name is utter nonsense.
After all, the true name of Primordial Divine Being deity was bestowed upon them by Heaven and Earth and the Great Dao when they were a true immortal.
This thing--
It's just like an ID card number!
It's not something you can change just because you want to, but it can be changed.
So.
Laozi 've come to terms with it now, and I don't have the same impatience as before.
Especially--
After becoming Sage Realm and establishing the orthodox tradition, and after wandering in the Primordial World for a long time, Laozi's interest in this aspect diminished.
Now it's all about letting things take their natural course!
Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise.
As Lao Tzu wandered through the Primordial World, the more he let go of things, the faster his Laozi progress became.
Now.
The Dao Fruit that was shattered years ago has been restored to two-thirds of its original state.
Two-thirds --
Yet it is still comparable to a complete Dao Fruit before it was shattered!
Visible.
Once he has completely rebuilt the Dao Fruit, his strength will surely reach a new level.
"Then what brings you to see me, sir?"
Dan Jing didn't care about Laozi changing his name, but asked again.
He's not a peeping tom; wouldn't it be tiring to stare at the Sages' every little quirk?
It's better to just ask directly.
If any of the Sages dared to plot against him, Dan Jing wouldn't even need to pay attention; he would be able to sense it immediately!
"To be honest, Your Majesty..."
Laozi's expression turned slightly serious as he looked at Dan Jing and asked:
"I have come here to ask questions!"
These words piqued Dan Jing's interest, and he looked at Laozi with a mocking gaze in his Golden Eyes.
A smile played on his lips:
"Then ask!"
"Whether I answer your question depends on my mood."
He nodded.
After a moment's thought, Laozi Tzu spoke directly:
"First question--"
"Does Your Majesty possess knowledge of the major trends and future developments of the universe?"
Swish!
Upon hearing Laozi's question, Dan Jing's eyebrows involuntarily rose.
A meaningful smile appeared on his face:
"That's interesting!"
"You old man, although your cultivation isn't that great, you're still pretty Lingguang!"
"Next question!"
He nodded again.
Laozi's gaze returned with another earnest question:
"Second question--"
Have we Sages always been walking on the predetermined path?
He raised his glass and took a sip.
Dan Jing smiled and replied with a non-answer:
"That depends on which established path you're asking about."
"Next question!"
After a brief silence.
A hint of seriousness flickered in Laozi's eyes:
"The third question--"
"May I ask Your Majesty, after this great Human Dao, will our Sage Traditions also be able to flourish as well?"
The Sages are not fools.
At the moment.
They all understand that their actions are promoting the Human Dao among the Heaven-Earth-Human Three Daos.
As for the numerous plans made during this process, such as the transmission of Fuxi's name and the future fame of Di Jiang, they were merely taking advantage of the momentum of promoting Human Dao.
He nodded.
Dan Jing gave a clear answer this time:
"Yes."
"Human Dao the Sage Traditions have made great contributions to spreading the Way and bringing blessings to countless beings, as well as other lineages, flourish greatly!"
Upon hearing this...
Laozi's eyes flickered slightly, and he seemed to have gained some insight.
Then.
He solemnly bowed to Dan Jing.
"Thank you for clarifying my doubts, Your Majesty!"
He smiled.
Dan Jing waved his hand, his expression quite casual:
"Don't mention it!"
"I'm only answering these questions because I find them amusing!"
"Good--"
"You can get lost now."
Upon hearing this...
Laozi Tzu spoke solemnly:
"Taiqing takes his leave!"
After rising and bowing, Taiqing calmly walked out of the Mountain Ridge Palace and soon departed.
After Laozi left.
Dan Jing's lips curled up, a look of surprise on her face.
That Laozi of the Taiqing Laozi really has a sharp mind!
To act without acting, to attain the highest Taiqing and supreme sagehood.
One word--
OK!
Dan Jing casually remarked:
"Taiqing Laozi is quite a figure."
