Mu Sheng was puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Why did the master say this?" Why can't the disciples stay on the mountain and practice with all the brothers and sisters? ”

At this time, Shi Niang spoke: "Sheng'er, your master has his own reason for letting you stay in the capital, you just listen to your master's words." ”

Li Wendao "Sheng'er, it's not that you can go up the mountain if you want to, even if you go to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not agree to you going up the mountain to cultivate now, you go back." ”

Hearing the words of the master and the master, Mu Sheng understood a little, it may be because of his own kingship, it involves the affairs in the court, and after a few words, Mu Sheng said goodbye to the master and the master and went down the mountain.

Before leaving, Li Wen instructed the white-haired outer disciples beside him to call the old man Li Yuan to send Mu Sheng down the mountain.

Before going down the mountain, Mu Sheng went to say goodbye to his senior brother again, and when he saw that his senior brother was not in Yuzhen Sect, he gave up, he guessed that his senior brother might have something to do and went down the mountain, as a monk, he didn't stay on the mountain to cultivate, most of the time, he still had to travel to the world and cultivate his mind, which was equally important.

On the way down the mountain, the old man named Li Yuan accompanied Mu Sheng all the way, although this outer disciple was a pulsatilla, but he seemed to be in very good spirits, and he was out of breath and heartbeat all the way up and down the mountain, and it seemed that he was also a practitioner.

Mu Sheng said politely, "Mr. Li, thank you for sending me." ”

Li Yuanci smiled kindly, "Senior brother, where do you say, what my father ordered, how dare I refuse, this is what I and other outer disciples should do." ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, his heart was thundered, the kind old man in front of him was actually the son of his master Li Wen? Look at his age, he has to be seventy or eighty years old, right?

He took a closer look at Li Yuanmeiyu, and there was indeed a bit of master's charm between him, but seeing that he didn't look like the son of a master at his age, Mu Sheng asked a few more tentatively.

Sure enough, as he had guessed, Li Yuan was the heir born to the first wife of the master, and it was indescribable to think of a white-headed old man over a hundred and a half years old calling him father to a man who looked to be in his early thirties.

Mu Sheng sighed in his heart, this is to blame for the long life of their monks, with the improvement of cultivation, they do not see their old age, and they have the ability to stay in their faces, which will make people feel weird.

Seeing that the master's sons are all dying, he estimates that the master's great-great-grandson has already existed, and people generally get married very early in this era, and the Li family is scattered in Yuzhenzong, which can be regarded as a big family......

During the conversation along the way, Li Yuan was envious of a monk like them who could truly cultivate, and after talking to Li Yuanpan a few times, Mu Sheng probably also had a little understanding of the situation of the outer disciples of the Yuzhen Sect.

In fact, the Yuzhen Sect has been constantly recruiting outer disciples from the society, and if the outer disciples stay in the sect for three years at most, if they can't cultivate, or if their cultivation qualifications are too poor, they will be repatriated with a settlement fee.

Among them, the outstanding cultivators of the outer sect will be selected as the inner disciples of the sect, and the sect will tilt resources to focus on training.

There are also ordinary people like Li Yuan who can't cultivate at all, because they are the sons of the masters, there are people above, and they are the sons of the leaders of the Yuzhen Sect, so they will be arranged to be the directors of the outer sect in the sect, mainly responsible for managing the industries of the Yuzhen Sect scattered in various places, and it is also a terrible fat difference, it can really be described as a realistic version, one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

These outer door directors in the sect are basically relatives or relatives of the Elders' House, ordinary outer disciples don't even think about it, and immediately pick up the salute and get out of the house after the three-year period, unless they are selected by the Yuzhen Sect as an inner disciple, then the social status will be different immediately.

If you can't cultivate, even the own son who is in charge of the sect can only stay in the outer gate, because it is pointless to waste cultivation resources on ordinary people.

I heard Li Yuan say that his father Li Wen was Mu Sheng's master, and he gave birth to twelve children, seven men and five girls could not cultivate, more than thirty grandchildren, and no one among the great-grandchildren could cultivate.

Even being a tenant in Yuzhenzong is a good errand that ordinary people can't ask for, Yuzhenzong's name of hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land is not required to pay taxes to the imperial court, and lifelong exemption of tenants from servitude, and even some local gentry pay heavy tribute to Yuzhenzong every year just to get a tenant quota, although not actually farming, but can be exempted from servitude, saving the court to catch the strong man to repair the project.

In ancient times, it was a very hard errand to serve in the conscription, if the officials were corrupt, and the construction period was tight, they would send their lives to the construction site, and if the officials were filling their own pockets, many people would starve to death if they did not serve the conscription.

At that time, the canal that Mu Sheng passed by when he came to Yue County was filled with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

At the end of Qin, the root cause of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising was here, in fact, there was no rule in Qin Law that the deadline should be beheaded, at most it was beaten.

Mu Sheng estimated that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were really frightened by the Qin Dynasty's too frequent levy and forced labor, and they were either exploited by the officials, or they were exhausted to death and starved to death on the construction site, so they simply went out and pulled down, and later after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, they were quite cautious about the large-scale levy and forced labor, for fear that the officials would force the people to rebel.

Anyway, in a word, being exempt from forced labor is a great benefit in this era, and this benefit is worth more than social security.

Hearing Li Yuan's explanation, Mu Sheng called him a good guy in his heart, the Yuzhenzong industry is really stronger than the family, and it is worthy of more than a dozen Rongguo mansions in the dream of Red Mansions, and it can really be said that it is a rich country.

Mu Sheng said: "Mr. Li, your life in the Jade True Sect is really free?" ”

Li Yuan sighed when he heard this: "Seniors don't hide it from you, although those of us who are directors are poor, have high salaries, and have enough oil and water, what can we do if we have money?" What can you do if you earn this wealth of money? I don't bring it in life, I don't bring it in death, in the end it's not a stripe of land, a stripe of go, I'm also old, and I'll be almost eighty in a few years, and the avenue will be empty after all. ”

"How can you be like a monk, you have a long life, and you still have the opportunity to comprehend the way of heaven and become immortals, we mortals can only think about it, and seeing that the longevity is coming to an end, we can only hope to enter the reincarnation and see if we can have the opportunity to become a monk in the next life......"

Mu Sheng was silent when he heard this, and when he was almost at the foot of the mountain, he said goodbye to Li Yuan and went to Quancheng.

Li Yuan's words caused him to think deeply, and it was the first time he had heard that someone had an undisguised strong desire for cultivation.

yes! He Li Yuan was born in the monk sect, and his father is also a monk boss of the Yuzhen Sect, even if he sees his father's appearance much younger than himself, it will make people yearn for it infinitely.

Hungry people envy people who can eat a full meal, people who can eat well, people who envy people who have a happy life, people who have a good life, people who have a good life, and rich people who have a good life, people's desires are always endless, this is human nature......

Mu Sheng thought of Li Yuan, who had white hair, and was also a little emotional for a while, saying that greed for life is the common feeling of a dead person, he is also not exempt from vulgarity, he is a person who has died once, so he naturally cherishes the hard-won opportunity of rebirth in front of him even more, and his heart is actually more afraid of death, since he is alive, he must live well.

In this era when there are no antibiotics and no modern medicine, the average life expectancy of ordinary people is generally around 35 to 40 years old, and people like Li Yuan who have lived past the age of 70 are a small number of people with a long lifespan.

If Li Yuan assumes that he is a monk, it will be completely different, once a monk cultivates to the realm of a heavenly master, he can live to be about one hundred and fifty to one hundred and eighty years old, and when he reaches the realm of four phases of one day like Master Li Wen, Shou Yuan can reach about four hundred years old, and some ancestor-level monks can also sprint to the limit to five or six hundred years old with the blessing of heaven and earth treasures.

Although monks can't live with heaven and immortality, it is enough to make ordinary people flock to it, and sometimes, even if you live an extra year, people will do whatever it takes.

Mu Sheng now somewhat understands why the emperor wants to cultivate immortals, and why he wants to listen to Zhang Daoling's words as a charlatan.

Mu Sheng has been thinking about the master's explanation before leaving, a more important mission? What is the more important mission? Why did he have to stay in the capital? It's weird......

Forget it, anyway, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, Mu Sheng originally wanted to stay in the Yuzhen Sect to cultivate, a brick in the capital can smash out a bunch of princes and high-ranking officials, he is not a small feudal monarch in the end, and the three thousand households in the food town are richer than other princes.

The place where the five people and six people can really attract the attention of the people is the Yuzhen Sect these days, the identity of this personal disciple is really cool and crooked, the first time to worship the mountain gate, actually all of them went out to hold a conference just to see him?

Disciples, high salary, high status, as long as you cultivate wholeheartedly, it is a good errand with less money and more close to home, and Feng Jiu, a great beauty, accompanies him, and the little junior sister takes the initiative to post it upside down, it is simply a pleasure.

Although Mu Sheng usually doesn't go out at home, but in the past few days, when he goes out, the inner disciples hug and shout, not to mention the outer disciples, which really makes him a little fluttery, so he stays in the Yuzhen Sect and he is a serious person.

In the future, senior brother Li Chen is taking over the position of the head of the Yuzhen Sect, and Mu Sheng is also the number two person in the Li family's class, with the urine of the old guys in the Elders' House, the master Li Wen enters the Elders' House, and the senior brother takes over the Yuzhen Sect, he Mu Sheng is the most likely to become the first senior brother, and he will definitely be the head of the Yuzhen Sect in the future. Hahaha......

Thinking of this, Mu Sheng couldn't help laughing.

Hua Zilan, who was walking with him, asked puzzledly, "Master, what's wrong with you, why are you so happy?" ”

Mu Sheng smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, isn't this going home soon, happy." ”

Mu Sheng thought to himself, let the master let him stay in the capital, just keep it! Anyway, the social status of this personal disciple has always been there, and he will definitely not be able to fly, and it will really be his turn to succeed to the position of the head of the Yuzhen Sect, so I don't know how many years later.

When the time comes, when he cultivates to the realm of four phases into one, it is almost the age of the master, and at that time, the crown prince will succeed to the throne, and the fourth emperor's son Bai will not necessarily be able to survive him.

The two entered Quancheng, Mu Sheng and Hua Zilan went straight to a wine shop in the city, and before leaving, they asked Huang and Lin and their junior brother Hong Ze to have dinner.

When Mu Sheng and Hua Zilan walked to the private room on the second floor, in addition to Lin and Huang, the junior brother Hong Ze, and the junior sister Zhang Lin were also present.

This little girl is quite well-informed? Mu Sheng didn't inform her before leaving.

Mu Sheng intuitively felt that it should be Hong Ze's big mouth that leaked the news, so he stepped forward to say hello to a few people and took his seat.

At this time, Zhang Lin pouted and said to Mu Sheng in a long voice, "Senior brother...... If you didn't inform me before you left, wouldn't my status in your heart be as good as a few of their outer disciples? ”

Mu Sheng explained: "Hey! No, I'm afraid of delaying your homework, and besides, this is a gathering between our men, so it's inevitable to drink a lot, Kan Dashan, you're a girl's house, it's inconvenient. ”

Zhang Lin still turned his head unhappily when he heard this, and snorted.

Ay! Really, this little girl is really straightforward when she speaks, and she directly despises Lin and Huang as their outer disciples.

Seeing that Lin and Huang were a little embarrassed on their faces, could they say this in front of people?

Lin and Huang are not easy to attack except for embarrassment, in addition to giving Mu Sheng face, the main thing is that there are people on this little girl's film, Lin and Huang are just outer disciples, they really can't afford to offend, just say it, what else can you do with others?

Besides, Zhang Lin is indeed an inner disciple, and the outer disciples have no status in front of the inner disciples, and it is also a fact in the Yuzhen Sect.
