After Shao Siming withdrew from the inheritance, Long Yangjun sat in front of Shao Siming and quietly watched Shao Siming go to worship the master.

Although he still didn't speak, Long Yangjun smiled with satisfaction.

"Do you know what Shao Siming originally meant?" Long Yangjun helped Shao Siming up and spoke again.

Shao Siming wanted to speak, but in the end she didn't. She looked at Yan Yan, hoping that Yan Yan would answer for her.

Yan Yan was born in the Chu Kingdom, so he naturally knew the meaning of Shao Siming enshrined in those temples.

"Shao Siming is the name of a star, and is also one of the gods enshrined in the Chu Kingdom. The legendary goddess is in charge of the fate of heirs and children in the world. She is a typical image of beauty, kindness, gentleness, holiness, and bravery." Yan Yan replaced Shao Siming. Siming answered Long Yangjun's question.

After seeing Yan Yan's answer, Shao Siming nodded in agreement.

Just after the two of them looked at each other, they looked at Long Yangjun again, and their faces suddenly turned red.

Take charge of the fate of your heirs and children in the world!

Is this a hint to them?
"Do you think this is Shao Siming?" Long Yangjun didn't see the interaction between the two and asked coldly.

"Ah?" Yan Yan was stunned. Isn't it true? The entire Chu Kingdom believes in this!
Shao Siming also expressed doubts. The Yin Yang family's classics also explained it this way!
"Do you think that Shao Siming, who is as famous as Da Siming, who is in charge of life and death, is just a goddess in charge of the inheritance of heirs and the destiny of children?" Long Yangjun asked again.

Yan Yan and Shao Siming looked at each other again, unable to think of any other explanation.

Seeing that Yan Yan and Shao Siming were still confused, Long Yangjun sighed.

"In the temples of Chu State, the image of Shao Siming is a goddess holding a baby and holding a sword, right?" Long Yangjun looked at the two people and continued to ask.

Yan Yan and Shao Siming nodded. This was the statue of Shao Siming, holding a baby in one hand and holding a sword in the other.

"You guys think, why did the ancients design Shao Siming into such an image? In other words, if Shao Siming is the goddess in charge of the inheritance of descendants and the destiny of children in the world, why not two hands, one on the left and one on the right, holding a man and a woman? What about the image of two babies, but a baby in one hand and a sword in the other?”

Lord Long Yang continued to guide Yan Yan and Shao Siming.

Yan Yan frowned. He thought it was nothing at first, but when Long Yangjun said this, there was indeed a big problem. If he was in charge of the inheritance of descendants and the destiny of children in the world, he could be a loving mother, holding two children in his arms, sitting in front of him. He has the image of a boy, and there is no need to hold a sword!
For example, the image of Avalokitesvara in later generations is just an image of holding a baby in both hands, instead of holding a jade purification bottle.

Shao Siming was also frowning. He had no idea why the statue of Shao Siming looked like this.

"Shao Siming is the elder of the Yin Yang family's wood division!" Long Yangjun continued to remind the two of them.

Yan Yan and Shao Siming began to think deeply again.

The five elements of Taoism are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which correspond to the five virtues of Confucianism: wisdom, trust, benevolence, courage, and strictness.

Wood corresponds to the Confucian benevolence, which means that people should have benevolence, love and compassion.

Therefore, the nature of wood is gentle.

Among the five elements of Taoism, wood also represents endless life!So, what does this young Siming represent?

Yan Yan and Shao Siming still couldn't figure out what Shao Siming really represented!
"You have to understand that among the gods, the long sword represents bravery and righteousness, while the one holding the long sword represents more protection. So what does Shao Siming want to protect?" Long Yangjun saw the two of them. Still unable to think of anything, I spoke again.

"In other words, what do you think the ancients meant by children?"

Yan Yan's eyes suddenly lit up after listening to Long Yangjun's words. He seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Young Siming.

"Is it hope?" Yan Lingji stood aside and said weakly in a low voice.

"Huh?" Long Yangjun looked at Yan Lingji in surprise, never expecting that the answer he wanted would come from Yan Lingji's mouth.

"How did you think of it?" Long Yangjun asked curiously.

Yan Yan was stunned for a moment and removed the idea of ​​decisiveness from his mind. It seemed that he had thought wrong!

"Well, Black and White Xuanjian once told me before that it is impossible for me to catch up with my seniors in this life, so the best way is to find a man with high talent to marry, give birth to a child, and let the child catch up with my seniors. , surpassing the predecessors.”

"So, after hearing what the seniors said, I felt that children might be a concrete expression of hope by the ancients!"

Yan Lingji lowered her head, not daring to look at Long Yangjun, and felt even more embarrassed.

The corner of Long Yangjun's mouth twitched. He had thought that Yan Lingji suddenly thought of her because of her talent or inspiration, but he didn't expect it to be this reason. However, it made sense, and he couldn't fault it at all.

"Senior, is it true that Shao Siming is, as Yan Lingji said, the goddess who controls and protects hope?" Yan Yan was also sure that Yan Lingji accidentally revealed Shao Siming's priesthood.

"Yes, among the oldest sacrifices, Shao Siming represents hope and the future. She is the goddess who protects the hope and future of the world. If not, how can she be as famous as Da Siming, who is in charge of life and death?" Long Yang Jun finally gave an affirmative answer, but still looked at Yan Lingji helplessly.

Unexpectedly, this answer was guessed by Yan Lingji. 1
In particular, Yan Lingji's explanation cannot be said to be exactly the same as the ancients' thoughts, but it is at least [-]% similar.

"So, if you want to become a real Shao Siming and break through the Wanye Feihua Ryu to a state that has never been seen before or since, you must understand clearly what Shao Siming is! In other words, to set your path, you can only follow this path. Only by walking the road can you completely get rid of the shortcomings of Wanyo Feikaryu!"

Long Yangjun turned to look at Shao Siming and taught him seriously. If he could not master the true path of Shao Siming, the shortcomings of Wanye Feihua Ryu would always exist and could never be made up for.

"But hope is something that can't be seen or touched. How can we go through such a path?" Yan Yan asked again for Young Siming.

Long Yangjun rolled his eyes at Yan Yan, "Master, let me in. It depends on the individual. If I know about it, I will go there myself!"

"Different paths lead to the same destination. Whether it's the rejuvenation of all things in the Taoist family or the flying flowers in the Yin-Yang family, the path to be taken in the end is the same. But have you seen anyone from the Taoist or Yin-Yang families come out?"

"..." Yan Yan was speechless. After saying so much, it turns out that you don't know either.

"It really doesn't work. If you give birth to a child, you may know it but not necessarily. After all, the ancients had their own reasons for erecting the statue of Shao Siming like this!" Long Yangjun thought for a while and put forward an opinion.

Hearing this, Yan Yan and Shao Siming blushed again. On the other hand, Yan Lingji looked at Lord Long Yang, then at Shao Siming and Yan Yan. She seemed to be thinking about something, but she looked stupid. Shaked his head.
