Chapter 23: The Reality of the World
After knowing that the exercises could be fused, but stagnated due to the lack of potential points, Zhong Cang no longer cared about these, but closed his eyes and began to breathe and breathe.
This time, he was still practicing the innate breathing method.
The main reason is that although the Wahuang Mending Heavenly Sutra is magical, its main function is reflected in the 'human completion', and if you don't get any completion, this exercise is just a blank slate.
During the cultivation, an hour and a half passed quickly, Zhong Cang's cultivation increased by another 45 points, and in the following time, he practiced the True Form Five Fowl Opera several times, and when his body was tired, he washed up and fell asleep.
……
On the second day, after the chanting in the morning, Zhong Cang went to the main hall as soon as possible.
didn't go directly into the house, Zhong Cang waited respectfully outside, he knew that his cheap teacher could definitely feel his breath outside.
And so it was, but he waited a full hour before a summons could be heard.
"I'm looking for something."
His master's attitude was very casual, but Zhong Cang didn't dare to do so, especially now that he had a request for him.
Respectfully bowed, Zhong Cangcai said a little embarrassed:
"Master, my lungs have been activated, I don't know what arrangements you have, and also, our Ten Thousand Souls Sect, as a great sect with the same reputation as the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Temple, should have benefits within the sect, right?"
"Hahaha, it turned out to be a resource."
Seeing his master laughing instead of frowning and snorting, this made Zhong Cang's heart swell with joy.
"There's a play!"
It's just that Zhong Cang's excitement just started, and his master's next sentence made his heart sink into the abyss.
"There are indeed good benefits at the headquarters, but let's look at the initial construction, there are no resources, if you want resources, you can compete with the people of Longhu Taoist Temple."
"Uh......"
Rolling his eyes, Zhong Cang was very helpless.
"I want to grab it too, but I also have to have the ability to do it...... Wait, compete with the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Temple? Master, we are not cooperative allies with the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Temple, but a competitive relationship? ”
"This is not a matter of course, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and besides, the Great Spirit Dynasty asked us to preach, but it is not ......"
The voice behind gradually became smaller, but countless thoughts popped up in Zhong Cang's mind.
"Great Spirit Dynasty, Dragon and Tiger Dao, State Religion, Wanted, Wanling Sect...... Siss, Game of Thrones! ”
Not to mention Zhong Cang's shock, on the other side, the Scaly Snake Daoist looked Zhong Cang up and down, and finally said: "Your understanding and will are not bad, since you have worshiped me as a teacher, it is really not good to let it go...... Wait a minute, you go to the Inhuman Mansion and hang up a spirit master there. ”
Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, in this world, the teacher is not the relationship of receiving money and doing things in the previous life, but is equivalent to an elder like his father, who can inherit the mantle.
Because of this, Zhong Cang asked the Scaly Snake Daoist for resources, and the Scaly Snake Daoist was willing to give.
As for the spiritual priest, the spiritual master, the real person, and the heavenly master, this is the canonization of the imperial dynasty for spiritual cultivation, and it is also the honorific title of mortals for cultivators, just like the colonel and major general in the previous life.
Among them, the cultivators of qi and qi are spiritual masters, and the cultivators of metamorphosis are spiritual masters.
Condensing the veins, practicing Gang, and returning the Dan, the three are collectively referred to as real people.
The wandering god is called the earth master, and the dharma body above is called the heavenly master.
And join the Yiren Mansion and become a spiritual cultivator canonized by the dynasty, not only has a nice name, but also receives a monthly salary.
Now, the Scaly Snake Dao people are to let Zhong Cang take the identity of food qi to receive the position of a spirit master who can only be hung in the mortal stage.
It's just that after learning about this, Zhong Cang's first thing to rise was not joy, but fear.
"Spirit Master! Master, you think too highly of me, I can't complete the task of the spirit master. ”
Yes, tasks.
His grandfather is the spirit master of the Inhuman Mansion, so Zhong Cang knows that after being canonized by the Great Spirit Dynasty, he not only has to enjoy the benefits, but also has to bear the obligations.
Exorcising ghosts and demons and guarding one side are all things that the spirit master of the Inhuman Mansion needs to do.
His grandfather went out more than ten days ago to complete these tasks.
Well...... Normally, a spirit master can complete a task every three months.
But in order to obtain more resources, Grandpa Zhong Cang went out twice a month.
"With my grandfather's strength in the mortal stage, every time I come back, I am tired, and I am only ...... in the food period"
Feeling Zhong Cang's worries, the Scaly Snake Daoist laughed: "Don't worry, your master and I am the deputy master of the Inhuman Mansion, you just need to take the money, and you don't need to complete the task." ”
"Alas?!! …… Eat empty salary. ”
Thinking like this, Zhong Cang was a little embarrassed.
The socialist education in his previous life made him have a very positive outlook.
"Either I'll take the position of a spiritual priest."
He didn't dare to mess with the spirit master in the mortal stage, but he thought that he could still complete the spirit mission.
It's just that as soon as he said this, he found that his master's face was indifferent and showed a sneer.
"Why, I want to be a good person."
"I didn't ...... I don't have the heart to help the world, I just want to have a clear conscience. ”
Finding the ridicule on the master's face, Zhong Cangna didn't know it, he was very dissatisfied with the answer just now, so he said it very carefully.
But such a careful answer was still angrily reprimanded by the Scaly Snake Daoist:
"Have a clear conscience, idiot, you have a clear conscience, or rather, you think that if you don't take these things, they will fall into the hands of the people who deserve them."
“……”
These words silenced Zhong Cang's question.
When he was silent, his teacher revealed the truth of the world to him.
"Do you know that I am the deputy head of the Yiren Mansion in Anyang City, and what is the proportion of empty salaries?"
"Eighty-two open!"
"Forty percent of the resources collected in Anyang City were eaten by the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Temple, thirty percent were eaten by the officials and magnates of Anyang City, and the remaining one percent was handed over to the imperial court, and only two percent remained to maintain the operation of the Inhuman Mansion."
"Hmph, if you don't take these resources, those magnates and officials will all take them, and there will be no left!"
was so angry that Zhong Cang completely reacted - the style of acting in his previous life would not work here.
"The world is very dark, meat eaters are in charge of everything, such a situation, I can't change it at all, if I want to live well, I can only climb up with the flow."
"And, I really have the ambition to change the world, and I need to climb up!"
"After all, in a world with aura, a peasant uprising from below will not work, and only by becoming a supreme powerhouse can there be a slight possibility of turning the situation around."
"And if you want to grow, you have to gather huge resources."
Thinking of this, Zhong Cang was ready to adapt to this world, and at the same time, he also discovered a blind spot.
"Wait, master, now there are only 20% of the resources used to maintain the operation of the Inhuman Mansion, if we take it again, won't this Inhuman Mansion collapse...... You want to bring down the Inhuman House. ”
Puzzled by this, the Scaly Snake Daoist did not refute, but nodded and said, "So, what are you going to do?" ”
"What else can I do, help." Speaking of this, Zhong Cang smiled bitterly: "Master, I'm not stupid, I just didn't know the situation just now." Now, you old people should want to smash this mess and redistribute the benefits. ”
