Chapter 487: Flexibility
Tao Zi frowned calmly, which was somewhat similar to Wu Yan.
Cheng Wuchou's thoughts drifted elsewhere: "Besides the Tiandao Sect, the Jian Sect, and the Yi Nian Sect, are there any other sects that know about this?"
Buddha sighed softly and said, "The leaders of the Spring and Autumn Sect and the Nine Transformations Sect do know a thing or two."
Her focus had completely shifted: "Do the other two leaders know about this too?"
"Of course. In fact, they all tried hard and even allowed their apprentice to get to know you. Unfortunately, in the end, it still ended up like that."
Cheng Wuchou then asked, "Do Qiu Huanhuan, Jiu Qingling and the others know?"
"How could he possibly know? Among the younger generation of the three sects and four schools, only Wu Yan knows. And that's because he himself is so special."
Cheng Wuchou stood there, but what he was thinking about was the affairs of Xujiamen.
It would have been fine if he hadn't told him before, but why didn't he tell him even after Ah Zi recognized him?
Tao Zi saw through his thoughts and asked directly, "Does Xu Jiamen not know?"
"I'm not sure, but no one has informed them. After all, they are not clean, and no one is willing to tell them about matters related to the overall situation."
It is obvious that this "uncleanliness" is related to alien races, but Minglan Sect has never received any news related to "uncleanliness" before. It turns out that its foundation is too shallow.
Cheng Wuchou kept this matter in mind and prepared to ask Cheng Luo about it after returning to Xujiamen.
At this time, Tao Zi said again: "Master, I have a favor to ask of you on this trip."
This time, Buddha didn't change the subject and said, "Just say it straight."
"Can you tell me my fate?"
The Buddha was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "This is not a big deal, why bother asking for a word?"
She looked at his expression and suddenly asked, "Look at the Sect Leader, is there something hidden?"
He sighed softly and said, "We are not cowards who surrender without a fight. Ever since we learned that something was amiss with the Ming Lan Sect, we have been keeping a close eye on the news there. As the young master of the Ming Lan Sect, you are naturally the focus of our attention."
Tao Zi looked at him steadily and said, "Master, have you calculated my fate many times?"
The Buddha said, "I'm afraid I'm not the only one who can tell fortunes. As for the result, you should know it. But the last time I told your fortune was a hundred years ago."
She calculated the time backwards and said, "After I reached the Golden Core stage, the Sect Leader no longer counts?"
The Buddha said, "Yes. But I am wrong to use special methods to tell fortunes without your permission."
Tao Zi didn't care and said, "No problem, please count it again, Master."
With Tao Zi's cooperation, this time the calculation was much easier.
As he calculated, his expression grew serious. He said, "Tao Zi, you are very special. Others choose one of the several paths given by fate. Their so-called resistance is merely avoiding the most likely path. But you, in the past, could choose a path not given by fate. Now, your path is unclear, and no matter how you calculate, you can't figure it out. Moreover, your fate has already been determined."
Tao Zi glanced at Wu Yan. The road ahead was unclear? But Mo Yu was talking about a blank. It seemed that Wu Yan had helped her cover up a little.
Even a Mahayana cultivator can be deceived. Wuyan's methods are indeed extraordinary.
She smiled slightly and said, "If that's true, it's really interesting."
The Buddha vaguely sensed something was wrong and asked, "What do you mean, young friend Tao?"
Tao Zi said: "The reason why Heaven tolerates Minglan Sect must be because of me."
Everyone was stunned.
Qian Xuanhua happened to be walking here. Upon hearing this, he looked strange for a moment. Was Tao Zi being a little too arrogant? If this were to get out, who knows how many people would say that Tao Zi was too self-righteous to believe that Heaven valued her so much.
But the Buddha is not among those people.
He thought for a moment and then said, "I also suspected that the abnormality in Minglan Sect stemmed from someone."
Fo Cong also nodded silently and said, "Before Lian Qingzhou showed up, we thought that person was you, but after she showed up, our thoughts were shaken."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "Whether it was her or me, or because of something else, it doesn't matter. What's important is that the seniors may try to take action against the Minglan Sect."
Everyone was stunned again.
Tao Zi continued slowly, "I am no longer a member of the Ming Lan Sect. If I were really the one who took action now, there would be no so-called cause and effect."
The Buddha stood there, still thinking.
She continued, "Master Buddha, there is one thing that is beyond doubt—the laws of nature cannot control alien races."
Buddha nodded and said, "Of course. Aliens are visitors from outer space. The laws of nature cannot control them. So what?"
"The Minglan Sect killed many people for the alien race, which means that those people should have lived." Tao Zi's expression became more indifferent. "Saving them should have been an act in accordance with the will of heaven, but the result was not like that."
Qian Xuanhua's mind buzzed. He didn't know what the master and the others were thinking when they heard this, but he felt a chill.
The gentleness on Buddha's face gradually dissipated, turning into a cold silence. He murmured, "I was saying something was wrong, and it turns out it's right here. Yes, the Way of Heaven cannot control the alien races, let alone let them follow its will. So what exactly is the so-called cause and effect?"
The Buddha's expression also became gloomy. Many mortals had died in vain over the years.
What is Heaven planning?
Cheng Wuchou looked at his silent sister and simply said it more clearly for her: "Heaven has used so many lives to fill the gap, perhaps just to change someone's life."
All of this is actually very simple. If the two sects and four schools intervene in the affairs of the Minglan Sect, then A Zi will definitely be able to escape from the Minglan Sect because of her innocence. In this way, she may not have to endure the subsequent tortures, let alone become possessed by a demon.
Qian Xuanhua strode forward and said incredulously, "Everything in this world is controlled by it, so why would it go to such great lengths to do something like this?"
Tao Zi looked at him and asked, "Who told you that it controls the world?"
He was about to say "It should be so", but he remembered the secret of the imperfect way of heaven and was suddenly speechless.
At this point, the Buddha spoke up, "The laws of Heaven are not meant to be sentimental, much less selfish. One is one, two is two. While not entirely clear-cut, they are certainly well-organized. But over the years, no one has dared to intervene in the affairs of the Minglan Sect. This is because if they did, the very thing they most fear would happen. We mortals perished due to karma, while some cultivators have lost their cultivation, even perished, their original destinies shattered. This truly shouldn't be the case."
Qian Xuanhua finally recovered and whispered four words, as if afraid that Tiandao would hear: "Be flexible."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "Do you think the laws of nature should be flexible and adaptable, and changed specifically for someone?"
Of course not. Heaven's way is not the way of one person. How can we arbitrarily change the original trajectory and rules for the sake of a living being?
