Chapter 10 Expectations
"After taking the county examination and obtaining the fame of Tongsheng, according to the convention, there will also be people from the Dao pulse to select disciples...... I hope you don't make a premature decision. ”
"Entering the Immortal Sect as a child, in fact, it is impossible to really be valued, even if you are selected, you will only enter the lower sect affiliated to the Dao vein, and start from the miscellaneous disciples."
"Needless to say, this kind of miscellaneous servant has little future, and the Dao method taught is also poor, even if he really has a good talent, he will have to spend several years before he can get ahead...... It's better to take another test if you have this kung fu. ”
"Xiucai's fame and re-entry into the Dao lineage, although he has basically entered the lower sect, but at least he is also a formal disciple, he can teach the correct Taoist method, and there is some hope for cultivating into a ghost and immortal in the future."
"Three generations ago in my family, an ancestor had been out of Jinshi, twenty-two in the second list, and then entered into the Qingyun Dao vein, as a true disciple, cultivated into a ghost immortal, but unfortunately ten years ago he failed to enter the earth immortal, has been life-spanning, transferred to the underworld, since then my family has gradually declined."
Sighing, the head of the house looked at them with some hope, and said:
"Your generation, if you can produce a ghost immortal master, there is hope that my family will prosper again!"
Gao Shi is a kind of honorary title for cultivators in the Great Xia Imperial Court, which means a person who cultivates high and wonderful.
Generally, it is only granted to cultivators who are condensed by the Yin God, that is, ghosts and immortals.
The ghost immortal is among the five immortals, the true seed germinates, raises the true spirit, the yin god is condensed, and the dead have a spirit.
Although it is said to be a ghost, it still has a fairy wind.
At this point, the practice is also extraordinary, even if the yang life is exhausted, you can continue to practice in the underworld.
But all ghosts and immortals can rely on their own strength to purify the underworld and evil land, give birth to a blessed land and a bright realm, and protect future generations.
This kind of cultivation has been able to control the fate of one's own family after death, and even the imperial court has to appease it, recognize its status, grant titles, and even bless its descendants and even the family.
Similar to the Lin family, if there is a ghost immortal master alive, it is enough to suppress the clan movement and prevent it from declining.
This is also the heart of Lin Zhiqing, the head of the Lin family.
"Alas, I participated in the scientific examination back then, stopped the state examination, and in the end, I just barely won the lift, or accompanied the third-to-last, then I knew that my path to the imperial examination was over."
"Especially when I saw the examination room with my own eyes, the atmosphere was full of light, and some candidates condensed themselves on the spot, and I was in tears at that time, and I didn't want to go to school anymore·······"
Lin Zhiqing has been the head of the family for so many years, but he still can't forget the original scene.
"Sometimes, I really envy those who have understanding, but are willing to work hard······· In the provincial test, the literary atmosphere is rich, the literary thoughts are gushing, and the inspiration emerges instantly, which is very suitable for the opportunity of self-condensation of the true species, and I also have some understanding when I write, but unfortunately the induction is only a flash, after all, it is still missed, and I can only watch others self-condense the real seed. ”
Lin Zhiqing sighed, as if he was reminiscing about the past, and the people below listened carefully.
The secret of this kind of imperial examination is not something that can be easily known by poor students without roots.
The so-called heritage of the family is nothing more than the accumulation of these details in all aspects.
It's not that the children of the big clan are really born superior, it's just that they can get more information and resources than the children of the poor family.
"Most of the deeds of the self-condensation of the true species, all appear in the provincial examination, a subject of thousands of people, all of them are Xiucai, and even the old Xiucai who has taken the test two or three times, in which the article is written, during which the literary atmosphere emerges, which will lead to the Tao rhyme left by the candidates over the years, and gain the spiritual wit, at this time, it is especially easy to touch the threshold, as long as you have a little understanding, you can understand it······ And there is another point, in the provincial examination room, the spirit is more than three times more vigorous than the outside world········ Often on the spot, there is a glow of heart, triggering the spiritual machine, after the provincial test, this kind of self-condensation of the true seed of the incident is not uncommon. ”
"When I got to the state test, it was not as many people as in the provincial test, and it was rare to see the deeds of self-condensation."
"Before the state test, some of the talents had already condensed the true seed and joined the Dao vein, so naturally they would no longer appear."
"These are all high-grade cultivation seeds, and they usually take this step on the spot or shortly after the provincial examination, and they are all true disciples who are under the key care of each Dao lineage, and their future is limitless."
"Second, not everyone has a career, for example, I feel that the imperial examination is hopeless, so I return to the clan and concentrate on taking care of the affairs of the clan."
"In the end, those who went to participate in the state exam were actually the ones who couldn't get up or down, and they didn't succeed in that step before the state exam, thinking about fighting again with the help of the state exam, or simply wanting to enter the court."
"The advantage of joining the Dao Pulse is that you have a teacher for your personal practice, you don't need to be distracted by the external things of the Dao, and you can prepare all the things in the master's door, so you don't have to worry about the results of your cultivation in the future. Even if you die in this life, you will be guided in the next life if you have the qualifications, and even if you can't, you can be expected to turn into Shinto. ”
"Entering the court, the advantage is that you can bless your descendants, benefit the family, and after the official reaches the third grade, you can get the title and seal after death, and the parents can also get the fate, and even the court can benefit the ancestors of the underworld, which can be described as a glorious court."
"The defects of the imperial court are also obvious, that is, there is not much help for personal cultivation, and many superior methods cannot be obtained from the imperial court, the ghosts and immortals are okay, and it is impossible for the royal family of the earth immortal method to give it, so you will have to find a way out at that time."
"If you are interested in the Immortal Dao, it is a good choice to join the Dao Vein; If you are interested in the Everbright family, becoming an official is the best choice········ But this is all a matter that will be reconsidered at least after the people are raised, and it is still early for you. ”
"My requirement for you is to at least take the Xiucai exam, and then no matter what, you have to participate in at least one provincial exam, even if it is not for fame, just to experience it there once is also very beneficial for personal practice in the future!"
In a world where cultivation is supreme, there is a real possibility of immortality.
How many people can refuse the opportunity to join the Dao Vein and choose to give up for the sake of the family?
The answer is self-explanatory.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no chance, and the kinship of the family was involved, it would have been ········· back then
There was a sour feeling in his heart, although Lin Zhiqing was past middle age, he couldn't help but sigh.
“········ Okay, you eat slowly, and I'll personally send you to the exam room in a while. ”
After finishing speaking, Lin Zhiqing got up and left.
I didn't go far, I just closed the door and went out, standing on the promenade, looking into the distance by the railing.
The interior suddenly returned to silence.
Several people were speechless to each other, but they each adhered to the etiquette rules of "food without words" and elegantly solved breakfast.
Lin Zhengyang was a little scheming, and swept his wrist, where there was a wisp of qi, shaped like a red plum petal.
Dayan Jinque Jade Mansion Heavenly Palace is a spiritual treasure that can travel around the world, not in this world itself, but wandering in the void, here is only a projection that he deliberately left.
Through this mark, he can use the power of the spirit treasure to mobilize invaders from the other world at any time, and come with a wave of soul wearing, wearing, and even snatching away, showing the essence of trouble.
In the world where cultivation is supreme, there is no shortage of various mystical methods, if he doesn't have a spiritual treasure by his side, he can really only rely on his own hard work. Go and get a background.
"This world, although it is not said to be a pool of stagnant water, but there are all kinds of rules and regulations, and there are many restrictions, only people with outstanding talents and extremely diligent progress, and people who can condense their true seeds, can barely have some hope of immortality."
As Lin Zhiqing said, self-condensing the true seed, he is a true disciple when he enters the Dao vein.
What is a true biography? That is, the Dharma taught is the true transmission.
In this world, tens of thousands of years have passed, and a relatively perfect system has been formed.
Miscellaneous disciples are the lowest level, which means that miscellaneous servants only teach the rough and superficial Dao methods, which are only slightly better than the health preservation methods obtained by Tong Sheng from the government, but they are also limited.
Practicing until death is just a light body, making people deaf and clear, and having some benefits for the body, that's all.
Formal disciples have to be passed on.
The so-called orthodoxy is the Fa-rectification, the correct Dao Dharma, and it is truly possible to enter the Tao and practice.
But this kind of Taoism, most of them are peaceful and peaceful, and they are not very clever, and they can build a foundation and open their pulses, and practice to the realm of immortals.
If you want to go one level closer, you have to make a contribution, or make various contributions, before you can have hope.
The true transmission of the disciples, the true transmission, the teaching of the Tao must be superior.
As long as you don't make mistakes, you can successfully cultivate to the ghost immortal, and even after passing the test, the earth immortal method will be taught, and the future is great.
The True Disciple is already the usual topmost disciple.
Further up are the elders and other personnel with duties, who can generally serve as elders in the Dao veins, and they are all ghosts and immortals.
Among these three ranks, there is almost no place for miscellaneous disciples; Formal disciples, the future is not broad, and the treatment is ordinary; Only true disciples are valued, immortality is expected, and earth immortals can be expected.
Therefore, almost all the first-class talents in the imperial examination are surrounded by the Dao vein, and those who have emerged before and after the provincial examination have joined the Dao vein, and the rest are actually some who are not up or down.
"I heard that among the Taoist lineages, there are also master-apprentice inheritances, as well as the children of the family, who do not select people from the imperial examination, but have another lineage, either according to a specific Taoism, or because of blood connections, or focus on a certain life, or because they are suitable for a certain physique, they do not fancy the true seed of self-condensation, but each has a set of means to sharpen the Dao species, which is not inferior······ It can be seen that the so-called imperial examination is just to provide a promotion portal for people in the world, so as to compete with the two lineages of master and apprentice and family in the Taoist lineage. ”
Even if he hadn't seen it in person, Lin Zhengyang could imagine the scene in the Dao vein.
In the Taoist vein, the inheritance of master and apprentice, the background of the imperial examination, and the background of the family should be a three-legged situation.
Among mortals, there is a difference between a cold family and a family, and there is naturally a difference between a family and a poor family in the Dao vein.
Just thinking about it, you can know how much struggle there must be.
"Heisei County is under the jurisdiction of Songshan, under the jurisdiction of Songshan Temple, and there are some lower courts attached to it, and disciples are also recruited, but I don't know if there is such a fierce struggle as I thought."
