Chapter 106: Failure to Ascend?

Confucius once said, "The people can make it impossible to know it." Because there are no broken sentences in ancient books, there are many interpretations of this sentence, the most common is only a tease after "zhi", the meaning is very clear: the common people can only follow the teachings of the saints, but there is no need to make them really reasonable.

Of course, there are also alternative ways of comics, such as: "The people may, let it be, and if not, make it known." Or, "The people may make it, let it be done, but they can't make it, they will know it." In modern times, many scholars who respect Confucius believe that the old sentence comic method has the meaning of fooling the people and does not conform to the tall image of Confucius in their minds, so they must re-tease the sentence to be able to make sense.

Zhang Lu was quite scoffing at this. Of course, no one knows under what circumstances Confucius said this sentence in those years, and whether or not the disciples of Confucius recorded it without any mistake, but since the flourishing of Confucianism, the vast majority of scholars of all dynasties have advocated the so-called kind of jokes that smell of foolishness.

However, it can be seen that with the progress of the times, people's concepts have also changed. In the time of Confucius, the so-called "people" were actually equal to "hooligans", referring to the lowest level of laborers, and not even necessarily including the general middle and lower class scholars of Confucius's disciples. It is not news that Confucius despises or at least despises manual labor, and he believes that the people at the bottom have no wisdom and do not need to be enlightened, which is a normal thing, and the readers of the next two thousand years will not interpret and understand it in the same way, and they will not think that it is a slander against Confucius. But today it is different, who dares to say with a shy face that manual workers do not need to learn and be reasonable?

Zhang Lu is also a modern person after all, as far as Confucianism is concerned, he believes that the traditional sentence comic is correct, but in terms of personal cognition, he will never agree with Confucius that he is right. On the contrary, Zhang Lu believes that when you can tell the truth, you should try to tell the truth, and if you want others to follow your teachings and follow your path, you have to honestly explain the truth of things, and you can't just fool around.

Therefore, he did not intend to hide the matter of the earth seal from Suifeng, because Suifeng was a very important part of his plan to lift the seal. Zhang Lu believes that even if he can't explain the real intention of teaching the secret method of Suifeng to the other party, he must first take a preventive shot, so as to win the trust of the other party.

Therefore, he clearly followed the wind and said, I want you to absorb the anger of the earth, a big reason is to break an ancient seal, but once the person who set this seal notices, he may find me or even trouble you. It doesn't matter if you come to me for trouble, if you come for trouble...... Will you be deterred by this?

Sui Feng naturally asked, "What kind of seal is it? Is it set up by the previous immortals?"

Zhang Lu said that it was indeed set up by the previous immortals, but I can't find this immortal, whether he still exists, or whether he still cares about this ancient seal, even I don't know very well. As for the reason for the seal, it involves too much and involves heaven, so I can't explain it to you for the time being—"If you ascend to heaven, you will know it." "There are only two things I can tell you: first, this seal is not related to the Qingxuan World, if the seal can be lifted, there will only be benefits to the Qingxuan World and your cause, and there will be no harm;

At that time, he groaned with the wind for a while, but finally agreed. A certain sense of trust has been established between him and Zhang Lu, and he feels that Zhang Lu will not want to murder him, as for using himself...... In order to accomplish the ideal great cause, to be used by others, or to be used by immortals, what is it? Moreover, completely changing the situation in the cultivation realm of the Qingxuan world is a major event for himself, and it is a cause that he has to fight for all his life, but for Zhang Lu, what is the point? If the affairs of the Qingxuan world would affect the immortals, the immortals would have come to solve it a long time ago, and there is no need to wait until today. So Zhang Lu said that I have a purpose for helping you, and after listening to the wind, my heart is more down-to-earth, which is more reliable than superstitious that this immortal is different and extraordinarily compassionate......

As for the trouble, there are tall people on top of it when the sky falls.

However, he didn't expect that he had finally cultivated to the tribulation period, but there were really Gu Immortals who came to Xingshi to ask for his guilt. He followed Zhang Lu's instructions at that time and made up nonsense and left the other party perfunctorily, but when he settled down, the more he thought about it, the more unreliable he became. Therefore, he summoned Zhang Lu to come and asked bluntly: "Ask the Immortal Elder, if we absorb the anger of this world and break the seal, what will happen?"

Zhang Lu didn't expect him to ask such a question, he couldn't help but be stunned, he hurriedly asked the reason, and he didn't hide it with the wind, so he told the words of the Gu Immortals. That Gu Immortal could say, "If you suck in all your anger, the seal will be broken, and I am afraid that you will release unspeakable evil things"—is what he said true or false?

Zhang Luxin said Oh, the imperial party really has a legacy!

He had done a lot of things in the sky before, both bright and dark, and he didn't see the emperor come to question, and gradually his vigilance relaxed, and he thought that the emperor was dead, or he didn't know which corner he was hiding in and didn't ask about the world, and completely forgot about the seal......

His mind was racing, but on the surface, he only had a "hehe" and stretched out his hand to point to his nose: "The one who indulges, I too." "Do you think I'm evil?

If this matter is faced with others, it is really difficult to explain, and it is impossible to explain it in a few words, so it has to start with the battle of the fairy dragon and the existence of Xiangliu...... These days, Zhang Lu has led a lot of Nether Realm cultivators to ascend to the sky, basically all of which he has pre-guided, but even so, he has to tell the story of the earth being sealed in its entirety to everyone, and even he is annoyed to say it. That's still for the immortals, if you want to explain the cause and effect to mortals, there are too many incomprehensible points involving the super-three-dimensional world, I'm afraid that few mortals can really understand it - maybe earthlings are exceptional.

However, in the face of the wind, this problem is also easy to solve, because we can take the Qingxuan world as an example - "Qingxuan cultivates the truth, tramples mortals, and the heavens hate it, so although it is not a ban laid by immortals, it is never easy to solve it." Where I came from, it is the same, but it is the evil one, the predecessors, and the people who are not the times. If you completely reverse the situation in the cultivation realm in this world, and the cultivation and mortals can live together in harmony, but the ban on flying heaven is not removed, and there are immortals who are still unwilling to get rid of it, and you are the only one who soars by chance, then what will you do?"

In a few words, the details were not mentioned, but the reason was quite clear. With the wind, he couldn't help but bow his head: "The immortal grows whatever he wants, and he does what he wants." "What are you doing now, if it were me, you would do the same, but-" Gu Xian Nai wants to kill me, what's the matter?"

Zhang Lu rubbed his chin, thought about it for a while, and suddenly laughed: "This matter is easy to hear." "Didn't he just vent his anger on you now, and strictly forbid you to practice our secret method again? Then don't practice it, you're almost done with it anyway......

The wind was in a hurry: "However, if I run Zhou Tian, I still have to absorb the evil qi in the earth, unless I disperse the exercises, otherwise I will incur the wrath of the Gu Immortals!" But once I disperse the exercises, not to mention that the path to ascending to the immortals is completely cut off - there is still some hope - even the ideals of the Shangqing and Dongxuan factions will not be completed, and the "Pure World Sect" will inevitably fall apart because of this, what should I do?

Zhang Lu said simply, in this life, you will inevitably absorb the earth's inner anger, so won't it be over if you leave this world?" "Since the exercises have been spread, just as the law does not blame the public, even if it is an ancient immortal, it will not kill all the disciples of the pure world, right?"

Sui Feng nodded and said, "Listening to the meaning of his words, I won't do anything to the disciples below...... But if there are any more people who can cultivate to the sixth or seventh order, it is unpredictable...... "Zhang Lu said that it is not a matter of one or two days after all, I will not be idle in the sky, I will find him out as soon as possible, and find a way to solve this problem, the key is-"If you can ascend to the heavens, wouldn't it be more relentless to be a disciple?"

Sui Feng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Immortal Elder wants to help me ascend to the sky?" That's for sure, the reason why many cultivators follow me is because under the old system, they don't even have any hope of climbing to the top, and joining the "Pure World Sect" may be a shortcut to breaking the glass ceiling. But in the past, after all, it was just me selling advertisements, and there was no actual product to show my hands, if I can really break through the realm and soar, it will definitely strengthen their beliefs, maybe even some big disciples will switch to this sect because of this!

Zhang Lu said that this is it, you hurry up and arrange the aftermath, and then hold a grand ascension ceremony, and I will pick you up when the time comes. After finishing speaking, he didn't stay long before he drifted away—he had to hurry to find that Gu Immortal.

With the wind, it was a real surprise. Although he has entered the period of tribulation, he really does not dare to rashly lead the thunder tribulation - because the way to heaven in this world has been blocked, and there is no one in a hundred who can leak through the past, he still has magnificent ideals and great careers in the world, and if this fails to ascend to the heavens, it will inevitably shake the hearts of the sect and lead to the premature death of his career - who dares to take this risk? Now that he has the promise of the immortals, he can give up his ideals and ascend - because the cause has been succeeded by others, and he will accelerate because of his ascension.

In addition, Sui Feng still had a little selfish thought, and he said in his heart that if I can become an immortal, won't I have more power to reverse the situation in the cultivation realm in this world? In the past, immortals never cared about the affairs of the lower realm, and the reason for this is unknown, but it is obvious that they have this ability. I'm not like them, and once I have enough strength, I'll definitely return to my homeland. It's better to ask for others than for yourself, it's not a matter of always relying on the help of the "King of the Realm", he is an outsider after all, how can he wholeheartedly take care of the cultivation and mortals of the Qingxuan world?

Therefore, Zhang Lu had just left, and he took a step with the wind and landed in the mountains. When the disciples of the "Pure World Sect" heard the news, they were all shocked, and they said in their hearts that this was not yet the time when the year-end reward would be issued, why did the sect leader show up? What was going on? Is he already cultivating to the top and no longer need to retreat, or is he planning to launch an all-out attack on the Shangqing and Dongxuan factions?

So they gathered one after another, and immediately announced with the wind: "I will break through the realm and want to ascend to the immortal path!" The disciples couldn't help but be surprised and happy when they heard this, and someone asked: "The sect leader soars, how sure is it?" Sui Feng smiled and said: "If the ancient cultivation really ascended to the immortal, there is always a three-fifty percent certainty; if the current cultivation wants to ascend to the immortal path, it is rare to find one in a hundred; and this sect is taught by immortals, since the ancient and modern ways are different, I want to ascend to the immortal, it is a full success!"

When the congregation heard this, they were all skeptical, but on the surface they all bowed to the ground, as if they were free and happy and admired.

So he arranged for his successors, sorted out the affairs of the sect, and warned: "Although I have become an immortal, I will still take care of the lower realm, and if you dare to break your old promise and go the way, I will punish them!"

It took about a month to prepare for the grand ascension ceremony, and not only did the vast majority of the sect members come to watch the ceremony, but they even secretly invited the heads or elders of six or seven small sects within thousands of miles around the area to come and watch the ceremony—this was a great opportunity for publicity, and it would be a pity if it was closed and not known to outsiders.

When the time came, Sui Feng and the top of the mountain cast a secret method, ran Zhou Tian, and made perfect preparations. The time was not long, but I saw that the thick clouds in the sky gathered, covering the sky and the sun, and then a thick thunder fell straight down. Fighting against the thunder tribulation with the wind, he felt that his body and mind were like boiling oil, and the heat and pain were incomparable. Looking at myself internally, it doesn't seem to have changed much......

Just feeling panicked, Zhang Lu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Do you remember when I told you how Wen Yishan disguised himself to ascend?"

Sui Feng was puzzled in his heart, but he became a tiger, and he had to obey orders. So a mysterious smile appeared on his face, looking down at the cultivators below who were looking at him with their necks tilted and staring at him from afar, and let out a long roar: "I'll go, you can do it yourself." Then he cast a spell and flew, and his body slowly floated up, flying straight upward, and flying faster and faster, gradually disappearing into the clouds.

When the fashion was at a loss, I felt a strong surge behind me, and I could hear "go", a flower in front of me, and then a head was planted straight down......

Fortunately, his mana is profound, and he stabilized his body in mid-air, so as not to fall headlong to the ground. Look left and right, the green mountains and green waters are no longer near the Forgotten Peak. Moreover, the sky here is dim, the vegetation on the ground is sparse, and the surrounding vitality is also thin, not like any place in the Qingxuan world—with the wind, he has almost stepped on every corner of the Qingxuan world, and the more remote the ordinary cultivator refuses to set foot in, the more diligent he tends to run.

Where is this? Is this the heavens? It's a little far from what I imagined...... where is the "King of the Realm"?
