"Yes, it's just self-deception, but maybe it's better if you're not by my side. "Ding Cong can only listen and can't move now, and he really can't do anything except the nameless karma fire three thousand. I had no choice but to let it go. "Now, then, I've entered the ranks of cultivators, right?"

"Of course, you should be proud. Weichen raised his head very arrogantly, but after looking at the busy people around him and Ding Cong, who couldn't see him, he suddenly felt very bored, and he didn't even have a look of worship. "Alright, let's make up for you. Weichen muttered for a while, "Alas, I really shouldn't ask the master, the second senior brother is better at this job." ”

"Let's talk about the cultivation itself, by the way, do you usually read novels?"

"Look, what's wrong?" Ding Cong was a little surprised, what does this have to do with whether or not he reads the novel.

"Since it's easier to talk about reading novels, ha, let's put it this way, there have been people practicing since ancient times, some cultivating the Tao, some cultivating the sword, some cultivating the body, some cultivating the Buddha, etc., etc., etc., in short, there are all kinds of things, and the use of the things that have been cultivated is to achieve something. But no matter what you cultivate, as long as you finally know how to use the power of heaven and earth to go to the other side of heaven and earth, you can be considered a true cultivator. And you can basically see these things in modern fantasy novels, including what each realm is, and the power after cultivation, it's basically very clear, at least it's similar to the cultivation realm or something, hehe. ”

Ding Cong was a little depressed after hearing this: "Weichen, Weichen, what do you mean, that means that everything in the fantasy novel is true? Then I can practice with the novel if I have nothing to do!"

"Anyway, you won't be able to move for a while, and when your hands can move in two days, I'll find you a few novels to read, which will be considered a class and a boredom. Ha~" Being able to turn the knowledge points that were supposed to be explained for a long time into Ding Cong's self-study, Weichen smiled proudly.

"But don't underestimate the novels, the decline of the modern cultivation world has a lot to do with these novels. Saying this, Weichen also restrained his smile, and after a moment of silence, he ignored Ding Cong's dissatisfaction and continued to speak.

"Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, I don't know which cultivator was bored, or someone with other purposes, actually published the content of the practice as the subject of a novel, and at the beginning it was just to compile the legends of the gods one by one to create different images of the gods. Later, the image of the gods was gradually accepted by the world, and the palaces and temples dedicated to the gods evolved into these gods, so that these gods began to accept and bless all beings. After that, all kinds of treatises on how immortals practiced kept appearing, and even plagiarized, borrowed, and tampered with the writings of their ancestors in the cultivation world, causing many unwitting casual cultivators to use it as a practice guide, resulting in fewer and fewer casual cultivators, and more and more unbearable cultivation, and they could only rely on some small means to make a living in the world. ”

"Although the major sects were not directly affected, they did not realize the seriousness of the matter, and did not take timely action to stop the spread of this matter, resulting in a gradual decline in the level of disciples recruited after hundreds of years, and after the lack of fresh blood, the major sects began to gradually break off the inheritance. ”

Ding Cong obviously heard Weichen's emotional loss, it is really rare for a teenager with a "bad" bad taste to have such emotions. "Why is the level of disciples of the major sects declining? Recruiting into the sect and having a master by your side to guide you, as long as your qualifications are not bad, can't you improve your cultivation?"

At this time, I didn't know what Weichen was thinking, and after a long pause, the voice continued to sound.

"The sect is all supported by the clan, and the disciples of the sect are also selected from the clan, although there is also a phenomenon of going out to practice and bringing back disciples, but it is rare. Once the disciples of the sect have achieved cultivation, most of them will choose to write books and write their own successful experiences for future generations to refer to, which is also something encouraged by the major sects, after all, the strength of the sect still depends on these people. Naturally, their writings represent an important denominational lineage. And these people will not forget the clan they came from, whether it is before sitting or feathering, they have to leave some inheritance for their clan, which is also a kind of protection for the clan to ensure that the clan can prosper for a long time. ”

But this pattern gradually changed by the Wei and Jin dynasties. It is just as I said that there are myths and legends. Then a large number of vernacular texts appeared during the Two Song Dynasty and were even more popular among the people. After all, a clan is not the same as a sect, a sect can stay away from the world, but the clan has to live in the world. Therefore, soon after the appearance of books such as myths and legends, the young children of various clans were also infected by this worldly style, and things such as joint consultation, improvement of exercises, and collection of experiences became popular among themselves. Over time, they no longer know how to distinguish between truth and falsehood, which leads to the cultivation of righteous path works in the clan without asking, and without looking at them. In the end, the clan inheritance declined, and there were no more outstanding talents. ”

"Isn't cultivation based on qualifications and chance? This is what you said in the Heavenly Heart Jedi? Why do you want to look at outstanding talents?" Ding Cong asked with some confusion.

“...... You remember it so clearly. Weichen said with some embarrassment. "The selection of disciples of each sect is basically the same, and when they select disciples, they are recommended by the clan for the first wave, and they then select the best among them, which is the best of the best. The advantage is that the disciple's qualifications don't have to be considered too much, and he already has a certain amount of cultivation before he enters, and he will definitely improve after entering the door. And the disadvantage is that once the clan can't recommend a disciple, they have no disciples to choose from. Besides, if there is a problem with the inheritance of the clan, even if the selected disciples have good qualifications, they have not learned the right things when they received basic education, and it will be difficult to change the wrong foundation. Weichen's voice was obviously tinged with sadness.

"Then why don't clans or sects publish their existing works? Let more people learn from them, and then select the best people. "Ding Cong is a little confused?

"At any time, where there are people, there is society, and where there is society, there are interests. No one will give up their benefits for no reason, not to mention that the resources required for cultivation are extremely huge, do you think you are buying beans? grab a handful?" Weichen rolled his eyes and couldn't help but choke Ding Cong, is this guy really a master? Why don't you even understand such a simple truth.

"It's all gone, why do you still stick to the rules?" Ding Cong asked a little unconvinced.

Weichen replied in a very strange tone, "Do you know what it is after the clan prospers and grows?"

"It should be the Imperial Dynasty, what do you mean?" Ding Cong was a little puzzled.

"Is the dynasty a product of the core of interests?"

"That's right. Ding Cong was still confused.

"Then you can tell me which dynasty will be willing to be replaced?" Weichen shouted out, but fortunately, at the last moment, he remembered that this was a hospital ward, and it damaged his beautiful, handsome and sunny image. After relieving his emotions, he continued, "And you should always know about the book burning incident, right? It has happened in all dynasties, and the most influential one is four. ”

"Hmm...... It should be Qin Xiaogong's book burning, Qin Shi Huang's book burning, Liang Yuandi's book burning, and Qianlong's book burning. Ding Cong replied after thinking about it, and then seemed to realize something, and said with some surprise, "Is it related to the decline of the clan?"

At this time, Weichen recovered Mo Bai's meaning a little, "Well, it's not bad, I have made a lot of progress under the help of the old man." ”

"Okay, okay, don't come to Mo Bai's set. ”

"Behind the change of dynasty is the conflict of interests of various sects, and every time there is a change of dynasty, there are many clans that decline, and the decline of clans represents the disappearance of inheritance. The already mottled and impure inheritance has also been annihilated in the wind and rain of history with the dynasty. In addition, the book burning incident after the change of dynasties is a naked blow to the inheritance. The clan declined, and the sect gradually withered. ”

"In short, according to the master, fight for one word to destroy the world!" Weichen paused, wanting to continue, but felt that the topic was a little heavier, so he simply ignored Ding Cong, and just stood up and went out for a walk.

Ding Cong waited quietly for a long time, but he didn't hear any sound, and then he heard someone sitting on the edge of his bed, and kept pressing his sore spots. "Weichen, you are endless" Ding Cong endured the pain and shouted, but after a while, the blindfold was taken off, and he thought that he would see that handsome face, but it turned out that what appeared in front of him was actually an old man full of energy and smiling.

The old man didn't speak to him, but just pressed and groaned, as if to probe his physical condition. Then the old man smiled happily at Ding Cong, patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked out. Ding Cong looked at the old man who disappeared at the door, and was surprised that he didn't understand what it meant, and then saw the banknote-faced doctor move his fat body to him.

"Mr. Ding Cong, someone will help you change the ward in a while, and I am no longer your attending doctor, if you have anything uncomfortable now, you can tell me carefully, and I will communicate with your new attending doctor. The banknote face politely explained, then took his medical record card from the bedside, turned and walked out.
