The road to becoming a god in modern times

Chapter 207 Competing (1)

One bright morning, with the cool breeze blowing through, it was a bit chilly, but it still meant farewell to the king. Since Ling Yun had decided to let Xiaolong take care of the dragon soul, he also brought the eighteen dragon soul guards to compete in other countries. , There is no need to worry about these anymore. In Ling Yun's heart, he has already thought that as long as Xiaolong takes care of the dispute with the Liu family and proceeds according to his own plan, even if the Liu family cannot be uprooted, it will also destroy the whole country. To rule, Ling Yun is confident that he grasps this very tightly.

However, he got up so early today, sitting in the restaurant of the hotel, tasting coffee alone, thinking constantly in his mind, maybe he felt something, that is, he said that as long as he opened the gate of the fairy world, as long as the same Something, maybe Ling Yun has already discovered this thing, and after coming to the South China Sea, the feeling is stronger than before, muttering in his mouth: "There should be opponents in the end, I just care about strength and weakness!"

I don't know when, there was such an old man in front of Ling Yun. I saw this old man with white hair and an ancient robe. His eyes were very bright, with a faint light shining, and a smile on his face. Yi, with a slight breath of dust, with a look like a fairy, following Ling Yun's eyes to see the scenery outside the window, he was not embarrassed at all because of his abruptness, and Ling Yun had discovered him a long time ago, but he didn't go. Pay attention to him, still looking out with deep eyes, as if something attracts him, but it gives people a feeling, that is, they are like a grandfather and grandson having morning tea, the scene is very harmonious...
"I don't know, why do people have goals, why do they have to pursue, why do they have to get all those illusory things?" The old man said such profound things slightly after an unknown period of time passed, but Ling Yun heard The old man grinned at the corner of his mouth, as if he was smiling, but it didn't look like it. He picked up the coffee, took a sip, his eyes were full of smiles, and he was still looking outside.

"I don't know!" After a while, Ling Yun uttered these words quietly, and the old man was a little surprised when he heard it, but he also laughed, and he smiled and said: "Haha, I don't know Well, it’s good if you don’t know, if you know, I’m afraid it will only increase your troubles!”

"Maybe, it's just that I think that if there is no goal, no pursuit, no ambition in life, will life still be meaningful?"

"Oh, I don't know how the young man understands it?" The old man seemed a little interested when he heard what he said, and asked slightly!

"Ordinary people just think about how to live an extraordinary life. Extraordinary people think about how to pursue that very extraordinary life. Very extraordinary people think about how to become the most extraordinary life in the world." Ordinary people and all kinds of things in the world are circulating at this mysterious frequency, and most of these are things that people can only dream of!" Ling Yun seemed to have unique ideas about them.

Ordinary people want to live the life of the rich, and the rich want to live a life of fame and wealth in the world, but the rich people who are famous and rich want to get the highest power in the world. These are all human contradictions , is also a problem, everyone is fighting for their own pursuit and ambition, it can be said that although Ling Yun's words are just a few words, they are full of too much philosophy.

Hearing Ling Yun's words, the old man was very surprised. He didn't expect Ling Yun to think so, but he couldn't find anything from Ling Yun's words, so he said slightly: "En... Young man, your idea is indeed unique, old man, I am not as good as you think... I just know that pursuit is the philosophy of my life, maybe this is what practitioners say, under the way of heaven, all living beings Ants!"

"This is just the kid's opinion, and it's not entirely correct. I just want to ask you a question!" Ling Yun finally turned his eyes around at this time, his eyes froze, and he glanced at the old man, with a smile flashing across his face Meaning, said lightly.

"Oh? I don't know what's wrong with the young man, please tell me straight up!" The old man gave Ling Yun a look, full of shock in his heart, and secretly sighed, "Such cold and deep eyes are not simple!" 'Although I thought so, but due to the problem of face, I didn't show it after all.

"How many paths are pursued by practitioners in the world?"

"En?" The old man didn't expect that Ling Yun would ask him such a question suddenly, he glanced at Ling Yun, and said according to his own thoughts: "There are only two things that a cultivator pursues, that is the way of heaven and the way of proving the way. It is said that as soon as you practice, you will become the way of heaven, and you will step through the void to prove the way!"

"Hehe, is that so?" A look of disappointment obviously flashed across Ling Yun's face, and he looked at the scenery outside again without speaking.

But he didn't speak, it doesn't mean that people won't arouse his interest, I saw that the old man heard Ling Yun's words, and saw the disappointment flashing across his face, and asked very tentatively: " Am I wrong?"

After hearing what he said, Ling Yun shifted his gaze to him again, and didn't answer his question, but said calmly, "You should be from the Liu family, you must be looking for me for something Things, tell me...!"

"Hey!" The old man shook his head slightly, and sighed softly. It seemed that Ling Yun had noticed it so quickly, and also revealed his identity. Ling Yun was too mysterious, he paused, and said: "I never expected that I have not seen you for a few years, and I have achieved such a great achievement. It is really not easy. I must have experienced a lot in it!"

"Huh?...?" Ling Yun felt puzzled when he heard the old man's words, and kept thinking in his heart, when did he see himself?Do you know him yourself?Why don't I have any impression of him?He looked at the old man very puzzled, as if he was waiting for him to solve his doubts.

Seeing Ling Yun's doubts, the old man also knew that he didn't know that he had seen him before, so he smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, I know you are very confused, it is true that you have never seen me, and you don't know me, but I have seen you I miss you, remember that year was when you first arrived at Peking University. At that time, I still remember that you stood at the gate for more than an hour, but whether it was the song you played by the small West Lake or the freshman party I knew all about the show that stole the limelight, and I was there at the time!"

"What? Why didn't I see you at that time?" Ling Yun was even more puzzled, obviously there was no trace of falsification in what the old man said.

"Hehe! I've been watching you in the dark. Of course you don't know. It was very difficult for you to find me with your original strength, but now you, I don't know. After all, now I have completely I can’t see through you anymore!” It turned out that this old man was the one who once played a song from his inner world when Ling Yun first arrived at Peking University, and he was the person who secretly lamented Ling Yun’s resentment for this child in the teaching building. No wonder he said that he had seen Ling Yun, but he never thought that he would notice Ling Yun at the beginning.

"But what I want to know now is, is the answer I gave just now wrong?" The old man seemed to be very interested in the topic of discussing the way of heaven, and asked slightly.

"Well, whether you have met me or not, these things are irrelevant, but it's not about discussing those things of heaven, let's talk, you come to me alone, there must be something!" Ling Yun still didn't answer him, The corners of his mouth curled up strangely, and he said.

"Eh!" The old man didn't expect Ling Yun to still not answer him, and he was a little depressed, but after thinking of something, he said: "Okay, then it's time to get into the topic!"

"Let's go, you came to me alone, you are quite courageous!" The old man actually dared to come to Ling Yun alone. As two hostile parties, this is also a bit courageous. Could it be that he is not afraid that Ling Yun will kill him? ?
"Hehe, since I am here, old man, of course I will leave safely. I believe you will not touch me!" After hearing Ling Yun's words, the old man smiled, and after a while, his laughter stopped , Said: "I am a member of the Liu family, but not the secular Liu family, but a member of the ancient Liu family. It can also be said that I am a member of the secular Liu family elders!"

"Is there a difference?" Ling Yun said angrily.

"Of course there is a difference, and the difference lies in the secular Liu family must obey our orders!"

"Cut, if you say it, it means you don't say it!"

"Eh! That's right, hehe...!" The old man seemed not to want to get entangled in this topic, he straightened his expression, his face became a little serious, and said: "The matter between you and the current Patriarch of the Liu family, I I have also heard about it, and I also know about the fact that you are going to march. In fact, what I want to tell you is that we can ignore the forces in the world, but we are going to have a duel after you come back, presumably you I also want an opponent!"

"What do you mean?" Ling Yun couldn't help being a little puzzled. What he meant by saying this was obviously that the secular forces wanted to break away from their elders?Or in other words, the secular forces have been eliminated from the Liu family?
"Actually, there are two forces in our Presbyterian Council, one is righteous and the other is evil. We have always been in a state of civil war, but no one knows about it. The evil force has now overwhelmed the secular The Liu family regained their command, so they have been entangled with your dragon souls all the time, and why they restrained your dragon souls now is entirely because now they want to drive us out of the Liu family and are entangled with us."

"You mean to say that there are now two factions in your Liu family, one is evil and the other is decent, and you have always been in a situation of civil war? It's just that it hasn't been more intense recently?" Ling Yun thought more and more. Surprised, he didn't expect the Liu family to be like this now. Obviously, the Liu family that has been entangled with Dragon Soul for a long time is the evil faction of the Liu family, but now the one who came to talk to Ling Yun is also the Liu family. But it represents decent, and the development beforehand is really getting more and more interesting.
