Chapter 60: The Lower Court of the Three Immortals Island and the Heavenly Venerable of Suffering (4000)
Chaos Sea, Three Immortals Island.
"Sister Wen, why do I feel a little uncomfortable." The little Taoist priest Wang Qi secretly pulled the corner of Liu Wen's clothes and whispered.
Don't look at the tightness of the little Taoist priest and his master's skin, but suddenly came to a new place, and he was still a little timid.
Therefore, in the absence of Mu Hibiscus Lao Dao, he closely followed Liu Wen, the only person he knew.
The girl who led them was slim and cute, and there was a hint of agility in her eyes.
It is Guo Sangsang among the three generations of disciples.
After the little girl followed Tu Shan Susu to the northern Xinjiang, she not only gained knowledge, but also cultivated herself, and within a few days of returning to the mountain gate, she broke through to the realm of Tongxuan.
Among the three generations of disciples of Sanxian Island, the most spiritual is Guo Sangsang, the most calm and simple is Guo Yang, and the most diligent and persevering is Qingdai.
But in the same way, the talents of several of them are not as good as Xu Zhi, Zhou Ju is as outstanding, at least no one has the tendency to appreciate Tiangang's great powers.
In this way, it is normal, even in the end of the tribulation period, there are not so many geniuses in this world who can make a product and go straight to the primordial gods, and it is impossible for all of them to be collected by the Three Immortals Island.
According to the rules of the Three Immortal Islands, disciples are eligible to accept apprentices if they cultivate to the Dharma, and among the three generations of disciples today, only Guo Yang has met the conditions.
But he's just a newcomer.
However, the lower courtyard of Sanxian Island has re-enrolled a group of teenagers and girls.
Today's Sanxian Island is the time when the disciples are needed to enrich the mountain gate, so the control of the disciples in the lower courtyard and the outer gate is not so strict.
It will be recruited once every ten years, and nearly 100 disciples will be recruited at a time!
The current Three Immortal Islands have few people and many resources, especially after obtaining the foundation of the Five Dao Temples accumulated in the big world for thousands of years, it is almost equivalent to supporting dozens of people with the resources of three first-class great sects.
But resources are dead things after all, only by letting this resource flow and become a monk disciple can the mountain gate be regarded as truly strong, and only then can it grab more resources and form a virtuous circle.
Otherwise, just like now, even if the Three Immortals Island occupies the legacy of Miaoyin Pavilion in the East China Sea, it will be difficult to convert all of them into their own.
Even after that epic battle, the control of the Three Immortals Island over the small families below was still almost nil, and it was even more difficult to collect some resources smoothly.
In the final analysis, the number of people on the Three Immortal Islands is too small, not only the number of core disciples, but also the outer disciples, the deacons, and those disciples who have no hope of the immortal path and go out of the mountain gate to establish a family below.
Just like the Taiqing Palace, there are only three or four true people in each generation, but the families and attendants who are enshrined under it and completely obey its orders do not know that there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
Even if the Three Immortal Islands are now half-following the path of the Duobao Pavilion, trading with elixir spirit runes, and using Dao soldiers and demon spirits as manpower, it can't completely make up for the impact of the lack of disciples of the Mountain Gate.
It's just that this kind of thing can't be rushed, at least three to five hundred years, more than a thousand years, and several generations of disciples will pass it on, and it will naturally have its basic plate.
The disciples of Chengqi stayed in the mountain gate for further study, and the disciples of the outer gate went out to spread the branches and leaves, and controlled the specific resource points, and the fang market, so they naturally paved up the stalls.
Of course, for Tang Yuan, who had become a true immortal, such trivial resources were not of much use to him.
Just like the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Qi that he needed to work hard to get his hands on in the past, in today's Kiss Cave Heaven, there are even four of them.
And the reason why Tang Yuan still maintains and vigorously develops Sanxian Island...... In addition to waiting for Xu Zhi, Zhou Ju and the others may be able to help him after they achieve the Yuan Shen.
What's more, when the end of the calamity came, the attacks between the worlds and the games between the Dao monarchs were all carried out through their own forces, and even the Immortal Dynasty and the legions.
Even if your cultivation is at the top of the Dao Monarch level, can you still rely on yourself for everything?
To put it simply, if there was no righteousness of the sect of the Three Immortal Islands, with only Tang Yuan and Jin Jiao Scissors and one spirit treasure, they would definitely not be able to occupy the Chaos Sea, which is a battleground.
Not to mention, just the identity of the sect master of the Three Immortal Islands, the meaning behind it is important enough.
With the identity of the sect master of Sanxian Island, Tang Yuan is the descendant of Sanxiao Niangniang, a subordinate of the sect of the sect, a descendant of the Sanqing sect, and standing behind him is the countless powers of the sect of interception!
Otherwise, a primordial god with a mediocre background, or even a Dao monarch, can set off any big waves in this heaven and ten thousand worlds.
The reason why Tang Yuan in his previous life was able to crisscross the worlds and overwhelm the Earth Immortal Realm was that the strength of his Demon Lord's peak was only a part, and more importantly, he was the Blood Sea Dao Demon Lord!
Standing behind him was the Blood Sea Demon Ancestor!
Although the boss ended up stabbing him in the back.
But all in all, in today's heavens and worlds, it's about the background, it's about the forces!
It's easy to do things with the big flag!
Having said that, it is precisely because of this that the Three Immortal Islands began to recruit disciples on a large scale, but even if the Three Immortals Island has become famous in the entire Earth Immortal Realm, it is not easy to recruit Dao Miao with first-class qualifications.
Although the Earth Immortal Realm is not like some small and medium-sized worlds, which pay attention to the innate spiritual root, it only needs to be done step by step and do a good job of building the foundation in a hundred days, and the high-grade Dao foundation can be condensed.
But for young people, just doing this step well also requires natural understanding, as well as tenacity and hard work.
You can't have one without the other!
It is almost impossible to formulate the output of high-grade Daoji.
Moreover, although the Earth Immortal Realm does not put the innate spiritual root in the first place, if he is lucky enough to encounter such a cultivation seed, he will naturally cultivate it with his heart, just like Ji Lingyun, who is born with a supernatural spirit, and when he cultivates the Dao, he will naturally be many times smoother than ordinary people.
Like the top sects, the way of recruiting disciples is also similar, one is to sweep the sand in the big waves, open the mountain gate widely, and select talented Dao seedlings.
It's just that this can only be limited to the area near the left of the sect, Kunlun Mountain will not go to the East China Sea to recruit students, and Buddhism has always been a person who has many degrees in the Western Desert.
The second is that when the elders of the sect go out to practice, they will bring them into the mountain gate when they encounter good seedlings.
The third is to recruit disciples from the families established by the disciples of the mountain gate, which is also the most common way for ordinary sects, but if you use this method more, it is easy to turn the sect that was originally wide open to the way of speech into a private thing controlled by several major families.
For a sect that wants to pass on well, only the combination of these three ways is the best strategy.
For example, the disciples of the Three Immortal Islands have not yet branched out, so most of the disciples recruited today are from one or two methods.
Back to the present, although the little Taoist Wang Qi is a disciple of the Medicine King Sect, he has not yet succeeded in building the foundation, but he is only talented and intelligent, and he is very loved by the old Taoist of Hibiscus, which brought him to the Yuan Miao world and see the world.
Now that he has come to the Earth Immortal Realm, Tang Yuan arranged him into the lower courtyard to practice with the newly recruited disciples.
The little Taoist priest Wang Qi was refining the true method of the Medicine King Sect, and his perception of true qi was particularly keen, especially when he was accumulating true qi for the meridians and preparing to break through the key bayonet of qi training, so he was even more sensitive.
Guo Sangsang was also quite surprised when he heard Xiao Daotong's question: "The little guy has a good talent, and his perception is very keen." ”
"Our sect is based in the Chaos Sea, and the vitality of this place is full of the aura of the end of the calamity, and a person with a keen sense like you will naturally feel uncomfortable."
Liu Wen said thoughtfully: "No wonder after I arrived in this realm, I also felt the strangeness in the vitality, even the operation of the mana was a little obscure, it turned out to be the influence of the calamity." ”
Guo Sangsang smiled and said to Wang Qi: "When you arrive at the lower academy, someone will naturally teach you how to eliminate the influence of the calamity and use it." ”
The little Taoist priest Wang Qi nodded and followed behind Guo Sangsang obediently.
On Tianxuan Peak, Tang Yuan looked at Mu Hibiscus with a smile and quipped: "You care so much about this little boy, what else is there to hide?" ”
Mu Hibiscus's expression suddenly changed a little, and he said slowly after half a sound: "He is the reincarnation of my teacher, and I will be taken into the path again in this life." ”
"Oh?" Tang Yuanluo was curious, "Does the Medicine King Sect actually have the means to find the reincarnated person?" ”
You must know that the dead in the heavens and all the worlds will return to the nine shadows, go through the six realms of reincarnation, and then randomly reincarnate in the ten thousand worlds.
When heaven and man are not separated, the six realms of reincarnation are already very chaotic, and the Demon Dao, Buddhism, and Heaven all have their own industries in it.
But at that time, the hands of the three sects were all able to insert into reincarnation, and they could control the reincarnation of their disciples, entrust them to their own world, and find a natural body for them.
It's just that after the separation of heaven and man, the reincarnation of the Nine Shadows is no longer regulated, and the reincarnation at this moment can only operate through the laws of nature.
Even a slight influence is extremely laborious, just like the last time Tang Yuan was reincarnated into the Four Spirit Worlds through reincarnation, they were both two innate spirit treasures, and it took a lot of effort to succeed.
Now that I heard that the Medicine King Sect actually had the means to fish for people in reincarnation, how could I not be surprised.
Mu Hibiscus Lao Dao did not hide it, but said frankly: "My sect is passed down from Emperor Qinghua, and there is a method in the door that can ensure that the Yuan Spirit can be reincarnated back to this realm through the Nine Shadows, but it can only be controlled in this realm. ”
Tang Yuan bowed his head and said: "It was originally a method passed down by Taiyi to save suffering Tianzun, so I think it should be." ”
The two spokespersons of Daomen in Jiuyou, one is the Emperor of Beiyin, and the other is Taiyi Tianzun.
The Great Emperor of Beiyin is the incarnation of the Emperor Ziwei, in charge of all matters in the Nine Netherworld, after all, the Nine Shadows are the field of the two great demon ancestors, since Taoism wants to intervene horizontally, it is natural to put in a sufficient amount of existence.
And Taiyi Salvation Tianzun is the incarnation of Emperor Qinghua, in charge of redeeming the souls of the underworld, saying that it is salvation, but in fact, it is the authority to reincarnate and hold part of it into his own hands.
Therefore, the Medicine King Sect can fish for people in reincarnation, most likely because of this "redemption" cause.
As for the Hou Tu Niang Niang, who created the six reincarnations, although she is enshrined in Taoism and the heavenly court, and in the heavenly court, she is respected as one of the six royals, but she is only born as a congenital god, and she is free from Taoism and the heavenly court.
Even if the Great Dao of Reincarnation belonged to him, he had to give up part of his authority and hand it over to the three sects.
The reason why Tang Yuan knew something about these secrets was naturally because in his previous life, he wanted to escape from the Blood Sea Dao, and he had done extremely in-depth research on all the forces of the Nine Shadows.
What's more, he combined the Taoist myths he once saw on the earth with the earth immortal realm, and he was able to correspond one by one.
And this is also one of the points where he feels doubts about the existence of the earth, why a small spiritless universe can be regarded as a great secret in the earth immortal realm, and even all things related to Daozun have such a detailed record.
Tang Yuan felt that if he could find his way back to Earth, he would definitely have some new discoveries about that world.
Mu Hibiscus Daoist continued: "And this is not the first time I have led my master back, my master has been reincarnated three times, but all of them have not achieved cultivation, and the highest one is only to cultivate to the realm of Yin God, but he still died under the Heavenly Tribulation. ”
"In these four reincarnations, there is not much left of my master's true spirit, and Wang Qi is the most talented person among these times, but this time, even if he awakens Su Hui, how much is it my teacher?"
"But fortunately, this kid is a finished instrument, I can't really achieve the original god, if I end my life the next day, I have to reincarnate and rebuild, I can't say that he will lead me to the beginning again."
"The path of cultivation is so hard!"
Looking at the emotion of the hibiscus Daoist, Tang Yuan also felt something, because he knew more, reincarnation, the question of who the true spirit is is the biggest problem in reincarnation.
According to the theory of Hou Tu Niang, once a person dies and enters reincarnation, it has nothing to do with the previous life, and reincarnation is also a new existence.
However, after Taoism, Buddhism, and Heaven intervened in reincarnation, the practice of successive generations became a new popular concept, and even the top priority of Buddhist practice.
As long as you cultivate the Buddha in the next life and accumulate Buddha fate, even if you don't succeed in one lifetime, you will continue in your own future life, and if you don't succeed in this life, then you will continue in this life!
But even if you have the same memory, will the reincarnated person still be your original self?
Is it because the newborn has been infused with the memories of others to grow, or has it really been successfully reincarnated?
If it was like what Tang Yuan had operated in the Four Spirit World before, his soul was completely split from him, and his boundaries were quite different.
But if the soul enters reincarnation after death, according to the laws of the Great Dao, it will naturally wash away the imprint of its previous world, so after reincarnation, is it really still oneself?
The reason why Tang Yuan had such doubts was really normal, because after he cultivated the Blood God Son and his way of transforming himself to a considerable level, he had the memories of the monk who was about to die in his hands, the supernatural powers, and even part of the cultivation, stuffed into the Blood God Son, and recreated this person's supernatural powers.
This is the Blood Sea Dao, one of the most notorious Dao methods, the Blood God Puppet.
And with Tang Yuan's attainments in these two paths, this person can think that he is not dead, and he can even practice on his own.
Tang Yuan can still do this, let alone the power of the two religions.
However, Tang Yuan put this matter behind him, what qualifications did he have to think about it at this time.
However, this time he happened to meet the Medicine King Sect, but it was indeed useful for his future plans...... A way to contact the Nine Shadows without going through the Demon Dao!
