"I have a question, why can't I cultivate immortal arts and artifacts at the same time?" Qin Hua asked his own question.

"Because, the soul and body of ordinary people cannot bear these two powers, and only immortals can do it. Therefore, whether it is the magic school or the instrument school, the ultimate goal is to become an immortal. Through the continuous study of the arts, the people of the art school realized the method of making the artifact and obtained their own artifact. The instrument school is to comprehend the mystery of magic in the process of using artifacts and learn immortal arts. However, there are very few people who can reach this level for thousands of years, and there are less than 100 people since the end of the War of the Gods. Some top masters will not be able to reach this realm in their lifetime, and those who can reach this realm are called "immortals". Waiting and their fate is to ascend to heaven, that is, to be sealed out of chaos. The old man explained Qin Hua's question in detail, and now the two of them are sitting opposite each other, just like scholars in ancient times, conducting academic exchanges.

"However, there is a kind of person who is born with a strong body and soul, such a person is born with the ability to practice both artifacts and immortal arts, they can be said to be like immortals, and the power they possess is called "immortal power", and the physique that these people have is called "immortal bones". Looking at Qin Hua's puzzled expression, the old man paused, "In words you can understand, it is the woman you have seen in the West called "Sage" before, she is the person with the physique of "Immortal Bone". ”

"What?" Qin Hua was incredulous at what the old man knew about, "Do you know my memory?" Soon he realized what was going on.

"I'm so sorry, I spied on your memories when you got the green dragon, I'm sorry for that, but I can't refuse. The old man bowed slightly and apologized to Qin Hua, facing such a humble attitude of the other party, Qin Hua also lost his temper completely.

"The next thing to talk about is the development process of the instrument school and the art school. As you already know, as the times continued, the school gradually lost its mainstream status and began to decline, until the Song Dynasty, when the school almost completely disappeared. ”

"I know, but why is that?" Qin Hua desperately wanted to know the reason for the demise of the Sect.

"The fundamental reason is that because the cultivation difficulty of the Technique Sect is far greater than that of the Instrument Sect, the disciples of the Technique Sect often have to spend more time cultivating. Another reason is that Confucianism is the largest instrument school among the hundreds of princes. Confucianism, with its unique status and historical reasons, has always occupied the leading position of Chinese culture.

"During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the only Taoism that could rival Confucianism was the sect of art and instrument, and later the Taoist school of art split into a family of its own, that is, the Yin and Yang family, and the instrument school evolved into later Taoism. In fact, Confucianism itself is also a school of instruments and a school of art, but later some changes occurred, and the children of the school of art separated and became legalists. ”

(That's all for me...... Don't believe it...... ）

"In the Qin Dynasty, the Shu School was the most powerful, Qin Shi Huang reused the children of the Yin and Yang family and the Legalist family, so that the Shu School was unprecedentedly strong, and the Shu School began to suppress the disciples of the Qi School, but history is always reincarnated. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the rulers of the Han Dynasty first used the Huang Lao Thought to govern the country, and the Huang Lao School was the backbone of the Taoist Instrument School, and then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the Hundred Schools and respected Confucianism alone, so that the Instrument School began to rise. It wasn't until the Northern and Southern Dynasties that the disciples of the Shushu School were devastated by the war, and the people withered greatly. Rulers after the Han Dynasty continued to reuse Confucianism, but a very important problem arose that eventually led to the destruction of the Confucianism. ”

That is, there are two kinds of thought in the instrument school, one is led by Confucianism, which believes that we should insist on cultivating our own artifacts to the level of unity of heaven and man, that is, the idea of "unity of heaven and man". The other is the idea of "fraternity" led by the Mohists, who believe that new artifacts should be constantly created and distributed among their disciples. Later, Confucianism gained ambition, Mohism was suppressed, and then the Confucian idea of the unity of heaven and man became the mainstream of the instrumental school, and this Confucian thought also infinitely magnified the shortcomings of the instrumental school. ”

"What are the shortcomings?" Qin Hua said curiously.

"That is, it is very difficult for a disciple of the Instrument Sect to possess an artifact, there are only two ways, one is to awaken the artifact by himself, which is very difficult in itself. The other is to obtain artifacts created by others, which are generally obtained by apprentices from their masters. However, the prevalence of the idea of the unity of heaven and man has led to fewer and fewer disciples of the Instrument Sect creating their own artifacts. As a result, fewer and fewer people can obtain artifacts from others. And it was too difficult to awaken the artifact only through itself, so there were fewer and fewer people in the artifact faction, until the last immortal Zhang Sanfeng was canonized as a god, and the artifact faction lost the last person who could make artifacts, and then the invasion of the Mongols, the artifact faction completely disappeared, and the foreign Buddhist magic ruled the land of the Celestial Empire in one fell swoop, and the local magic forces of the Celestial Empire, that is, the magic forces you know, disappeared, leaving only some scattered small sects. Speaking of this old man's face was very depressed, the once glorious magical power of the Celestial Empire disappeared like this, as if there was an invisible hand controlling everything in the dark, and all the unfavorable factors gathered together to lead to its demise.
