Chapter 42 Cultivation for All
Time passed quickly, and when the first sprouts were drawn from the willow branches, spring came like a girl with a skirt.
From the beginning of that spring last year to the present, there have been several events that have shocked the mainland.
There are more and more cultivators in the world, and people are no longer as fuss as they did when they were in Wenshui, and those cultivators flying around in the sky, although they are still rare, they are not impossible to see, ordinary people will always meet them a few times a month, and it is not so rare and that is the case.
Cultivators are also human beings, but they have great power, and they live longer and longer, although this longer time is a bit scary, and they are hundreds of years old at every turn.
They don't know that many of the true great cultivators have lived for thousands of years.
With more and more contact between practitioners and ordinary people, many stories about spiritual practice have also spread among the people, and those magical and inspirational stories have inspired young people on the mainland to explore the path of cultivation.
The veil of the mysterious world of cultivation was lifted.
Oh, it turns out that there is a group of gentlemen like immortals behind the academy, and it turns out that the founder of the academy is a person named Master, and it turns out that Master is a saint who herds cattle and looks at the sky.
It is said that the Master is still alive.
It turns out that in addition to humans, there are half-human, half-wolf and half-wolf man-eating monsters in the world.
It turns out that there is also a group of evil white-haired weirdos on the other side of the mountain.
It turns out that there are many strange races.
It turns out that looking at the sky can also be seen as a saint, it turns out that looking at the river can also be seen as a fairy, and it turns out that being a carpenter can also become a god.
Those monsters are going to eat people.
If you can live for hundreds or thousands of years, you will almost be immortal.
Due to the desperate need for immortality or the fear of those monsters, no one knew when those monsters would appear.
So there was a movement in the world to herd cattle and look at the sky to see the big river, sit on the bluestone and be a carpenter to climb the green mountains, obsessed and vigorous.
To put it more simply, I hope that I can meet a cultivator who can accept me as a disciple and lead me on the path of cultivation.
As a result, when those practitioners appear in the people, the treatment they receive has risen dramatically, you know, these are some living bodhisattvas, and they can change their own life.
One of the most popular is the academy, it turns out that you can still practice while studying, Licheng is overcrowded for a while, but no one can find that alley, if you want to enter, you can only enter the front yard, but the front yard is to pass the exam.
This situation lasted until the arrival of the cold winter in Licheng.
In fact, about cultivation, people like Licheng will know a little bit, people like Xicheng will also know about Daomen, people like Border City also know about werewolves, and they are still fighting werewolves all the time.
It's just that due to the limitation of distance, the information is not smooth, and cities like Wenshui, which have always been peaceful, have become another world, not to mention those people on the outskirts of mountain villages, too many of them have never left the place where they live in their lives, and occasionally the information from the outside world is regarded as legends, myths or absurd nonsense.
The empire has also been restricting the dissemination of this information, if everyone comes to practice, who will grow food, who will engage in production? Does the empire have the power to lead a realm where everyone is cultivating?
Everyone cultivates, it was a long time ago, it was also an era of smoke and endless killing on the continent, there was no unity in that era, and there would be no peace, in that era, human beings did not dominate the continent, on the contrary, they were still trying to survive among many powerful races.
This has to be said to be a very ironic thing, when everyone cultivates, human beings are the weakest, when most people no longer practice, people do what they can do and should do, but they are the strongest.
In fact, the emergence of the empire was the end of the era of everyone's cultivation, and it was also the most powerful era of mankind on the continent.
Only this time, when the news spread throughout the world, it seemed that mankind was about to enter an era of cultivation for all.
............
Those who wanted to join famous teachers but had never met a practitioner began to climb mountains and rivers to go into places that were usually inaccessible in search of opportunities.
Those who repair shoes, sell their craft, and even beggars, are treated with humility, and who knows if there is a cultivator hiding in the world? A very interesting phenomenon suddenly appeared in the whole world, that is, everyone is very humble and everyone respects each other.
It's beautiful to look at, but it's all about fear or greed in your heart.
Some cultivators began to sigh: It turns out that it is better to join the WTO, than to hide in those deep mountains and old forests, I don't know how many times better.
Some practitioners began to wonder: Why is it so difficult to find a quiet place now?
Of course, these are just some individual cultivators, and the locations where those sects are located are not led by ordinary people, and they can't be found anyway.
For example, Shushan Jianfeng,......
The most intuitive event is the war that occurred in Guangming County and the empire in early autumn, although it ended with the Daomen returning to Guangming County, but the impact continued to ferment on the mainland, on the third day after the end of the war, the Daomen Holy Land Wordless Cliff announced that it would break away from the Guangming Temple of Mengshan in Guangming County, and the twelve cultivators led the one hundred and seventy-three alternate disciples of the Wordless Cliff to move out of Guangming County.
There was an uproar.
The Wordless Cliff is the holy place of the Daomen, and its status is transcendent, equivalent to the highest spiritual leader of the Daomen. The Taoist cultivation is a Taoist character, and the Tao is the road to the kingdom of God. From the fact that the people of the wordless cliff claim to be cultivators, we can see the relationship between the wordless cliff and the Taoist gate.
There is only one Dao Gate in the world, and there is only one Temple of Light, and the Dao Gate represented by the Temple of Light.
The wordless cliff announced that it was separated from the Temple of Light, I don't know if it was the benevolent Haotian who abandoned the wordless cliff or abandoned the Temple of Light, which is unknown to others, but one thing is for sure is that on the day the news was announced, Haotian Shenhui on the Guangming Square of Mengshan was stirred for three days and three nights, and the divine brilliance completely shrouded Guangming County, some people said that this was a miracle, indicating that Haotian had betrayed the wordless cliff and betrayed the Temple of Light. But those Dao Sect masters on the top of Meng Mountain knew that it was nothing more than the anger of the Sect Master who betrayed the Temple of Light because of the Wordless Cliff.
Many of the black-clothed deacons who ruled the temple rebelled out of the Temple of Light, but who knew that it was just a pretense, but it was just because of the words of the master in charge: All Daomen disciples must not exceed the oracle of ninety-nine bauhinia flowers. It is convenient to go out of Guangming County to chase and kill the cultivators as a reluctant excuse, which is tantamount to covering one's ears and stealing the bell.
But no one in the empire minds, Daomen has always been a big problem for the empire, and the Daomen is in civil strife, which is exactly what the empire is happy to see.
It's not that no one has ever doubted this, and it's entirely possible that a monk can just as much as the black-clad deacon of the Temple of Judgment perform a bitter ploy to enter the territory of the Empire.
In an unnamed town far away from Guangming County, in the evening, the only abandoned temple in the town came a few merchants from other counties.
Due to the impact of the Feilaifeng incident, several monks in the temple went home last winter to return to the customs, but they secretly came to turn over the merit box on the days when the incense was at its peak every time they rushed to the market.
These merchants, old and young, shuttled through various towns and villages during the day, selling some goods brought from the city or other places, usually in small pieces, each carrying a large package, and at night they would choose a random place to stay, or an abandoned house, or an uninhabited temple.
The empire did not restrict Buddhism too much, so there are generally some large or small temples in many places.
People also need faith.
The disappearance of Feilai Peak is also a small event.
Part of the reason why the impact of this incident is smaller is that the location of Feilai Peak is very remote, and people in the world don't know about such a place at all, or you say that there are more people who know about the temple in a certain town. Its influence is more on the part of the people who practice, and ordinary people don't feel it much.
Of course, there are several other things that also affect this world, such as the great change in Sword Peak, such as the battle on the Daotai in Licheng, and so on.
On the contrary, even fewer people know about the fact that a person named Su Yan has become Mr. Seven of the Academy, and no one takes this matter to heart, but he just feels that there is another lucky person in the world after dinner.
"Senior Brother Liu", several merchants have not gone out when they entered this small temple that has been replaced, and it is already completely dark, one of the middle-aged people shouted, the object is an old merchant, and the wind and frost of the days outside have carved deep marks on his face.
"I've been thinking all the way, is this time really like the senior brother said, because the master of the sect disobeyed Haotian's will to make Haotian abandon the Temple of Light, or did Haotian abandon us? Or is all this the arrangement of the master of the sect?"
It turned out that these people were some of the twelve cultivators of the Wordless Cliff who announced their departure from the Temple of Light, and the middle-aged man who spoke was ranked tenth in the sequence of the Wordless Cliff, calling the Dao Stone, which means that the heart of the Dao is as solid as a rock.
As long as you become a Twelve Cultivators in the Wordless Cliff, you will have your own name, or the original, such as Zhao Youcai, the head of the Twelve Cultivators, or the Dao name you gave later, such as the Dao Stone. They are entitled to leave their names on the path of monasticism.
A monk is a Taoist.
For example, the monk who met the gentleman in Daohe Town was a candidate for the Taoist, so he was called by the sequence arrangement.
This question had been bothering him since he left the Dao Gate when he was in exile in the territory of the empire, and today he finally couldn't help it, and he asked Liu Tong, who was the fifth in the sequence.
The name Liu Tong was given before he entered the Wordless Cliff.
If Haotian abandoned Guangming County, why did Haotian's divine light cover Guangming County on the night they withdrew from the wordless cliff, and it would be them who withdrew?
If Haotian abandoned the wordless cliff, why could they still withdraw from Guangming County, and more importantly, he could still sense Haotian's all-pervasive great will in the sky?
Haotian is benevolent, but that doesn't mean it will still favor its people who have blasphemed it, although he still believes in everything about Haotian devoutly, so he firmly believes that the great and benevolent Haotian will not abandon the wordless cliff.
However, Haotian still favors Guangming County and the Temple of Light.
Haotian did not abandon Mengshan and the Wordless Cliff, which was exactly what he couldn't understand.
Because the wordless cliff is separated from the Dao Gate, there should always be a place to desecrate Haotian.
There is only one last possibility, and the most reasonable possibility to explain this phenomenon, the wordless cliff has not broken away from Guangming County, everything is just a pretext for the expansion of the Dao Sect, or a reasonable way to avoid the ninety-nine bauhinia flowers.
He looked at Liu Tong with hope, praying that Liu Tong would tell him that his conjecture was accurate.
"Don't doubt Senior Brother," Liu Tong shook his head, he said firmly: "The great Haotian will never abandon us pious people," the bright eyes did not dim in the slightest because of the days of exile, on the contrary, they were brighter, like a lighthouse in the dark,
"It will only be those people in the Temple of Light who will blaspheme Haotian, Senior Brother is right, we are the hope of the Daomen, we are the orthodox Daomen, and we are not the plan arranged by those people, you don't forget the blood that was shed on the wordless cliff on the day when Senior Brother announced his departure from the Temple of Light?
Liu Tong's eyes flashed with something called hatred.
