After hearing this, Wang Yangming realized that the old man in front of him was not an ordinary person, but he responded as usual:
"The world is changing, just like the endless flow of rivers. The way to survive must also keep pace with the times. How can we remain complacent when times change?
The conflicts arising from the changes in Nanling Mountains that you are thinking about in your mind are bound to be the only ones you see.
What the heart sees is what the worldly principles are.
I hope this is not a disaster, but a prerequisite for the well-being of all people."
The old man from Nanling certainly understood in his heart that this change was actually a good deed, and nothing remains unchanged.
Otherwise, Dagan would not have so much support from the people, and those who opposed it were only concerned about their own interests.
Hearing Wang Yangming's words, he half-closed his eyes and remained silent.
What the scholar in front of me meant was that he only saw the conflict between two forces.
What Wang Yangming saw was the inevitability of this reform and the people's peaceful and prosperous lives after the reform.
So when the old man from Nanling saw the conflict, he was extremely worried.
However, Wang Yangming was not worried about this matter, but was looking forward to it.
"What the heart sees is what the world's principles are." The old man from Nanling gazed at the scholar who was not yet thirty years old.
He exuded a faint sense of righteousness, but it was very faint, so faint that it would be impossible to tell if he was not so close to him.
At the same time, I felt that this person was extraordinary. If I investigated carefully, I would definitely not be able to sense anything.
No wonder it is said that when a saint is born, there will be strange phenomena, such as purple air coming from the east, golden light shining everywhere, sandalwood filling the air, and phoenixes taking up residence.
Perhaps it is the resonance of the great way of heaven and earth. I just don’t know whether this person knows his current situation.
So, he stopped treating the other person as a junior and started treating him as an equal.
He, the old man from Nanling, has lived for four hundred years. He has seen through the changes in Nanling and the ups and downs of Dagan.
He also traveled to the two capitals and thirteen prefectures of Dagan, and read the words of sages in various academies, just to find a way out for the people of Nanling.
Celestial beings? Immortals? Perhaps the only thing that could bind these beings was their hearts.
"I hope you can put what you have learned into practice." The old man from Nanling bowed, seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and finally chose to remain silent.
Then he closed his eyes and thought, deciding not to take action.
If Wang Yangming was a junior worthy of advice, then if there was any danger, he would take action to protect him.
For example, some poisonous insects and some curses that suddenly appear.
Just a few days ago, a curse was cast, intending to turn all the people here into pus, but he himself blocked the secret.
But if Wang Yangming was regarded as a peer, it would naturally be impossible to protect him again.
Since Wang Yangming wanted to prove that his ideas were correct, the disasters and growth he encountered should be solvable.
When God wants to confer a great responsibility on a man, he must first be made to suffer in his heart and toil in his muscles.
Taking action on his own may not be a good thing for him. This may be his test and also his opportunity to become a saint.
The previous investment can be considered as the rent for staying here now.
If he could really reach that point, perhaps he could witness history.
You must know that Dagan has never produced a saint of literature and Taoism.
Even in the Great Zhou Dynasty, only three saints of literature and Taoism appeared in the first thousand years.
Now, a thousand years have passed, and not many people know what happened when the Sage of Literature and Taoism appeared.
After Wang Yangming bid farewell to the old man from Nanling, he dealt with various matters in the camp and began to prepare to move to Jiaozhi City.
Jiaozhi City may not be safe, but it is even more dangerous for them to stay here now.
Another day later, a spy hurried back with urgent news.
Someone was leading hundreds of Guwang Valley disciples towards their camp.
This post station is located in the middle of a road and is surrounded by dense forests.
It’s not impossible to walk through the dense forest, but it is definitely not convenient to move around.
However, these people did not seem to take them seriously and did not hide their whereabouts as they marched forward.
Most of the people in the camp were from Nanling, and the spy recognized the leader at a glance.
He is the elder of Guwang Valley, known as Elder Jin.
This person is good at using the golden silkworm Gu to kill people invisibly, and he acts extremely cautiously, making him a tough opponent.
After Wang Yangming learned the news, he asked in detail about some of Elder Jin's deeds.
I knew in my heart that I couldn't let this person reach the camp safely, otherwise it would be a disaster for everyone in the camp.
"Let the security team follow me." Wang Yangming said to the messenger, holding a sword.
His current cultivation level is innate, which is of course far inferior to that of Elder Jin. He can only think of other ways.
At a command, forty or fifty people quickly gathered and followed Wang Yangming to meet Elder Jin's team of a hundred people.
Soon, the two groups met on a narrow road and were on the verge of a confrontation.
Elder Jin looked at the sword-wielding scholar in front of him and the forty or fifty people behind him, and couldn't help but feel surprised.
He simply heard that some fleeing residents had gathered together, unwilling to contribute their lives to the great cause.
I thought it would be easy to catch them, but I didn't expect these people to actually dare to bump into me.
He stared at the fearless scholar in front of him, frowning, and a hint of doubt appeared on his originally thin face.
Why did these people dare to come forward? Weren't they afraid of death? Or did they have some means to make them fearless?
Thinking of this, Elder Jin couldn't help but feel a chill. You know, there are countless mysterious and powerful people in the depths of this mountain.
You should know that I heard a rumor that the master of Curse Valley cast a curse on this place.
But these people were not harmed at all, that's why they allowed me to come.
If one doesn't dare to launch a sneak attack, fearing death for no apparent reason, acting in a high-profile manner may give one room for negotiation.
Now facing such a person, how could he not be careful and cautious?
If you don't act with caution, you could lose your life, and you only have one.
"You are not from Nanling, are you? Several valley masters have issued an order requiring all the people of Nanling to gather together to resist the invasion of Da Gan.
This is the order from the Valley Master. Please do not be ignorant of the current situation. Otherwise, if you offend the Valley Masters, the consequences will be worse than death."
Elder Jin said in a deep voice, trying to suppress Wang Yangming with the orders of the Valley Master from several supreme grandmasters.
