Chapter 164: Indoctrination
Chapter 164
"What? You can't figure it out. In Ling Xiao's mind, Li Changding smiled faintly.
"Human life is at stake, to help or not to help, in a word." Ling Xiao said coldly.
"You've also encountered a few misbehaving land gods in the evil country before, and I haven't seen you punish you, why did you react so violently this time?" Li Changding asked knowingly.
"Although those land gods have evil deeds and misconduct, they are righteous gods after all, and most of them have fulfilled their responsibilities. And their evil deeds are only excessive demands for tribute, and they are too mean to those who they do not see as religious. After all, it has not reached the point of carelessness of human life. If you kill them, it's too much, and if you don't kill them, ......"
"If you don't kill, but just punish them, then after you leave, they may even intensify and inflict all the humiliation on the people in the country, and in this way, you will do you a disservice, right?" Li Changding expressed the concerns in Ling Xiao's heart.
Ling Xiao was silent and did not respond, but Li Changding already knew the thoughts behind his silence. In front of him, Ling Xiao has no secrets to speak of.
"At the end of the day, it's your strength that's too weak." Li Changding said, "That's it, it's rare that you will ask me for help, of course I will help with this favor." But ......"
Speaking of this, Li Changding paused for a moment and said, "That black Jiao is a righteous god after all, and it has more than 100,000 merits, if it is only about mana and magical powers, the four of us tied together may not be his opponent, after all, people have the power of three hundred miles of Fenshui to add to their bodies, and they are not idle." ”
"What's more, he still has a lot of subordinates, and there are foreign aid elsewhere, that Thunder Mountain King of Cumulus Mountain, didn't Prime Minister Turtle say that his magical power and mana are not under the Black Jiao?"
"That's why I'm turning to you for help."
"I understand. Therefore, dealing with this black Jiao requires a long-term plan. ”
"If you have any ideas, just say it."
"Okay, this first step is to cut its wings, starting with the Thunder Mountain King of Cumulus Mountain. Didn't you leave a sword qi in that crab general's body? Follow first, find the cave of the king of Naleishan, and feel the situation. Winterless and I arrived later. ”
"Hmm." Ling Xiao nodded, turned into sword light, and with the sword qi sense, flew into the air, heading towards the location of the crab essence.
At the same time, thousands of miles away, in the open space in front of the Houtu Temple, on a piece of bluestone, Li Changding was sitting on his lap, preaching, reciting the classics, and under him were more than 30 demon spirits who had opened their spiritual wisdom, lying or standing, quietly listening to Ling Xiao's sermon.
Compared to other places in the Immortal Dao World, the mountains here are a little barren and barren, and the mountains of hundreds of miles are only the thirty or so demon beasts that have opened their spiritual wisdom, and they all came to listen at this time.
Li Changding recited and explained the "Mountain God Puhua Sutra", which recorded some simple cultivation methods of demon spirits, and some heavenly mysteries, which were just the simplest and basic things for Li Changding, but for the demon beasts present, they were all unheard of superior secret methods.
In the great world of immortals, the aura is strong, and there are many ordinary beasts either because of the passage of time, or because of chance, they accidentally ate the elixir, and finally got the spiritual wisdom and had a sense of "self". But if there are no accidents, they will only be some instinctive spitting techniques, which are inefficient and have a single function.
In this world, the mountain gods, in addition to combing the aura of the mountains and moisturizing the soil and vegetation, also have the duty of educating the demons in the mountains. In fact, the god of Hebo also has this kind of responsibility, educating the demons in his jurisdiction. It's just that there is no one to manage and restrain the mortal gods, and I have never heard of any performance evaluation.
Anyway, if these mortal gods are on the evil side, their sinful karma will exceed their merits, and they will be full of evil, and they will be punished by heaven. In this world, the gods of the Heavenly Court simply let it go.
And edification has never been the main duty of these righteous gods, and it is tedious and difficult, boring, because few people are willing to perform this duty, and most of them are entrusted to their subordinates.
Despite this, the "Mountain God Puhua Sutra" used to educate the mountain demons is a necessary classic that every regular mountain god will have, and it is together with the Tude Heavenly Book used for cultivation, and it will be given by an angel when the mountain god ascends the throne.
Li Changding has only been in the Immortal Dao World for a few months, and he has not ascended to the position of the mountain god, as for this "Mountain God Puhua Sutra", he borrowed it from other mountain gods.
After Ling Xiao left, Li Changding and his three disciples guarded the temple of the goddess of Houtu, reciting the "Sutra of the Death of the Earth" in the morning and evening, as well as the scriptures and treasures of other goddesses of the goddess of the earth, to educate the demon spirits in the mountains, but with little effect, and not too many demon spirits were willing to take refuge.
It wasn't until Li Changding went out to travel and met a mountain god that he knew that for these demon spirits who were located in the deep mountains, had only opened their spiritual wisdom for a short time, and did not have many Taoist practices, it was better to use the "Mountain God Puhua Sutra" to preach and educate.
Li Changding was curious, thinking that the "Mountain God Puhua Sutra" was a treasure book, borrowed a look, only to know that the content is very complicated, not only talking about some basic cultivation techniques, but also some simple heavenly mysteries, and even heavenly rules and regulations, heaven and earth, the content is complex and comprehensive.
Comprehensive is comprehensive, but the content is very simple, in Li Changding's view, it is all second- and third-order knowledge. At a cursory glance, Li Changding didn't care much about it, but after reading it in detail, he found something extraordinary.
"The Mountain God Puhua Sutra" is simple and simple, but it is very targeted, and a lot of knowledge is urgently needed by the demon spirits who have just stepped into the practice, which can be said to be tailor-made for the mountain demon spirits, and also said a little about the way of demons, trying to instill the correct values, the content is not mysterious, but it fits the thinking of the demon spirits, and it is easier for them to accept.
At this time, Li Changding knew why his previous actions were ineffective, first, he did not teach according to his aptitude, and neglected that he was teaching demons, not people. Second, although the teachings of the Houtu are high, these demons don't even know some basic common sense, how can they understand the subtlety and breadth of the teachings of the Houtu?
To tell the truth, if it is in the formal Xuanmen Taoist system, the "Mountain God Puhua Sutra" seems too crude and simple, not worth a gimmick, but for the mountain demons, it is the best enlightenment classic, every word is a classic, and every chapter is thought-provoking.
Even if Li Changding changed places, he might not be able to write such a "Mountain God Puhua Sutra" after giving him a hundred and ten years of hard work.
From this point of view, the person who compiled this "Mountain God Puhua Sutra" must be a powerful party with immeasurable merits.
So, Li Changding opened his mouth and asked the mountain god for the "Mountain God Puhua Sutra".
"Mountain God Puhua Sutra" is not a precious thing, every mountain god has it, can use it in exchange for a person's immortal near the earth immortal cultivator's favor, although it is not explicitly said, but everyone knows that the mountain god is naturally happy, generous.
Not only that, but the mountain god even sent the Tude Heavenly Book and the Mude Heavenly Book that he cultivated to Li Changding.
The Shinto Heavenly Book is naturally a supreme treasure for mortals, but it has never been particularly precious for fifth-order people.
The mountain god thought that Li Chang had the heart to change to the way of worship, and he also wanted to be a mountain god, and he was very generous with the idea of hugging his thighs. After all, Li Changding was already close to a sixth-order earth immortal, and if everything went well, it wouldn't be long before he would be above him.
Li Changding didn't say anything about this, and smiled happily.
Sure enough, after Li Changding and the others changed the teaching materials, the effect was remarkable, but in half a month, not long after these demon spirits in the mountains opened their spiritual wisdom, and the demon spirits with low Taoist mana seemed to be reborn, and they really stepped into the threshold of cultivation, and their minds were clear, knowing that spiritual beings should not be easily harmed.
In other words, these demon spirits already have their own three views, and what is even more rare is that these three views are not skewed, although they are simple, but they have made a good start with the way of heaven in this world. In the words of the cultivation world, it is the germination of the Dao heart.
After Li Changding finished explaining the "Mountain God Puhua Sutra", he smiled slightly: "Today's sermon is here, wait for each of you to go back, you must practice well, accumulate more virtues, and do not create evil." Of course, this is not to forbid them to kill, but only to forbid them to kill self-conscious beings.
These mountain demons bowed slightly to thank Li Changding for his preaching, and then dispersed.
