Coming to the Ming Dynasty in this parallel time and space, in this Taoist world, Gu Changqing has always had a goal.

Do what you can and climb to the top of the avenue.

In this way, it will not be in vain to live a lifetime.

And to climb to the pinnacle of the avenue, it is obvious that you have to be an official.

In the Ming Dynasty of this time and space, cultivation was not as simple as those Xianxia novels on the earth.

Although the Tao of a cultivator can be improved by cultivating the Dao Sutra exercises, this method is the most stupid and difficult, such as reciting the "Five Thousand Words", and only by reciting it completely and sincerely can he increase his mana, and it is so difficult to reach the peak of the Dao.

If you want to quickly improve your Taoism, the only way is to become an official.

Taoism in the Ming Dynasty reached its peak, and the Taoist Division of the imperial court was the general court of Taoism in the world, and all monks were subject to its control.

If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the lord of the people, he has the right to kill and take it, and whoever wants to improve his status can ascend to the sky in one step.

Then, the Dao Gong Division is the master of the cultivators, it has the handle of the Great Dao, and whoever wants to improve the Tao will soar to the sky.

In this time and space, the divine power and royal power of the Ming Dynasty were closely combined.

Therefore, all the officials of the imperial court must cultivate the Tao, and the higher the rank, the deeper the Taoism.

After the emperor promoted an official, the Dao Gong Division had to elevate his Dao Xing to a relatively equal rank.

However, there are also many monks in this world who are very profound, and they are not officials in the imperial court, partly because their official positions have been filled, but more importantly, because these people have no ambition to become officials.

Since Emei was able to promise to recommend Gu Changqing to the imperial court in the future, this was undoubtedly a great favor.

However, in exchange, Gu Changqing was tasked with reshaping Lin Yueyao's remnant soul.

No matter how you say this, Gu Changqing can't do it now, and as for whether it can be done in the future, who can say clearly?

Gu Changqing followed Ren Yi towards the bottom of Mount Emei.

As he walked, Gu Changqing said: "Your master is a spiritual master, and it seems that you are very respected in Emei. ”

Ren Yi said with a smile: "Shizun has accepted a total of three disciples, Hu Shuntang, Lin Yueyao and me, among which Hu Shuntang is the first apprentice accepted by Shizun, it is said that Shizun has investigated the future in the Phantom Moon Ancient Cave, and Hu Shuntang may be the son of destiny in the future." ”

When Gu Changqing heard this, he couldn't help asking, "I heard Hu Shuntang call that Nalan Mu Concubine Senior Sister, isn't she a disciple of the Master of Spiritual Wisdom?"

"Senior Sister Nalan is a disciple accepted by Shizun on behalf of our master, although she is not a disciple of Shizun, she is also a generation with us. ”

I see.

After thinking about it, Gu Changqing said again: "Hu Shuntang is only a nine-grade Taoist priest, and I heard that he is only a low-grade Dao heart, how can he be the son of destiny?"

"I don't know this, the future that Master Zun saw in the Phantom Moon Ancient Cave has all been realized, and there shouldn't be anything wrong. ”

No wonder Hu Shuntang District Nine-Rank Taoist Priest dared to argue with the Seven-Rank Taoist Priest, the deputy seal officer of the Dao Gong Division, it turned out that there was such a reason in it.

Gu Changqing nodded and said, "What about Lin Yueyao, why was she appointed by the Lingzhi Master as the next head of the sect?"

"Senior Sister Lin is the most amazing genius in a thousand years, she is only fourteen years old this year, and she is already a seventh-grade Taoist, and the master said that in ten years, she will step into the ranks of third-grade Taoists. ”

"She's the same as you, is she also a high-grade Dao heart?"

"No, Senior Sister Lin is the best Dao Heart!"

Gu Changqing's heart shook.

The best Dao Heart!

Dao heart is like a qualification, whether you can cultivate the Tao or not depends on whether you have a Dao heart or not.

There are thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, but there is not one in ten who has the heart of the Dao.

And the level of the Dao Heart determines how far one can go on the path of cultivation.

Generally speaking, a Taoist priest with a low-grade Dao heart can only cultivate to the seventh grade in his lifetime.

For such a Taoist priest, even the Dao Gong Division could only forcibly raise his Dao practice to the seventh rank.

For a cultivator with a medium-grade Dao heart, the highest Dao practice is the Five Grades.

A cultivator who has a high-grade Dao heart has the highest Dao practice of the three grades.

As for the cultivators who possess the ultimate Dao heart, the highest Dao practice is naturally the first grade.

To put it simply, if Gu Changqing passed the assessment of the Dao Gong Division at this time, and was fortunate enough to enter the imperial examination high school as an official, even if his political performance was good and he was appreciated by the emperor, he could only be a seven-rank official and a seven-grade Taoist priest at the highest.

Another example is Ren Yi, he has a high-grade Dao heart, once he enters the court as an official, he can serve as the highest third-grade official.

This is the iron law of the monks.

All attainment depends on the heart of the Dao.

And the best Dao heart is rare in the entire Ming Dynasty.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, it is recorded that only some of the founding fathers had the heart of the Dao, such as Liu Bowen, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, etc.

In the past hundred years, let alone the best Dao Heart, even the top-grade Dao Heart is difficult to meet.

In a small Emei County, there is not only a Ren Yi with a top-grade Dao heart, but even a Lin Yueyao with a top-grade Dao heart, how can this not shock Gu Changqing.

"Stupid, right?" Ren Yi looked at Gu Changqing with a surprised expression, smiled and nodded his forehead with his hand, "At the beginning, I thought that I had a high-grade Dao heart, and I was also a genius in the sky, but after seeing Senior Sister Lin, I knew what it means to have a heaven outside the sky, what is a real genius, compared to Senior Sister Lin, I am like a drop in the ocean, and there is no comparison at all." ”

Walk across the floating wooden bridge again, surrounded by white cranes.

When he came, because he didn't know what would happen next, Gu Changqing's mood was a little apprehensive, and he didn't have the heart to appreciate this rare beauty.

It's different when you leave.

Although there were too many complications in the Hu Shuntang matter, it was finally resolved, which is undoubtedly a good thing.

Gu Changqing's mood improved.

Now you can take a good look at the scenery.

Gu Changqing, who had just walked on the wooden bridge and was about to look into the distance, caught a glimpse of a person standing on the other side of the bridge, because the distance was too far to see who it was.

Ren Yi walked up and said, "That's Senior Sister Lin. ”

Lin Yueyao?

"Come on, Senior Sister Lin should have something to tell you. ”

In the Phantom Moon Ancient Cave, Gu Changqing had already seen Lin Yueyao, and at this time, she was just like in the picture, wearing a ponytail, and her face was flushed.

However, her skin is better than snow, her eyebrows are like the moon, and she is already a beauty embryo at a young age.

When Lin Yueyao saw Gu Changqing, she made a gesture: "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." ”

Gu Changqing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." ”

Lin Yueyao nodded, bowed lightly, and said in a kind tone: "Yueyao thanked the Taoist friends for saving her first." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be," Gu Changqing waved his hand again and again, "What I saved was just a wisp of your remnant soul, in fact, I don't think it matters much if you save it or not, that remnant soul has already left you, and you don't need it anymore." ”

"Having said that, that remnant soul is still me after all, and if you save her, you will save me. ”

Gu Changqing scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "Okay, what you say is what you say, anyway, you Emei are already planning to repay me." ”

Lin Yueyao stretched out her hand and spread out her palm, revealing a golden pill.

"This pill is called Nine Turns to Restore the Soul, it was made by me refining it for seven days, you grind this pill into powder and scatter it on the remnant soul, and her sanity will be restored. ”

Gu Changqing took the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill and said with a smile: "It would be great to have this Soul Restoration Pill, I have been worrying about it before!"

"After she recovers her senses, she has no memory of the past, you are the first person after her new memory, to her like a father and mother, you have to treat her well. ”

When Gu Changqing heard this, he felt a little strange, no matter what, that wisp of remnant soul was Lin Yueyao herself, standing in front of her and saying that she was like a father and a mother, isn't this a bit of an advantage?

"Don't worry, Emei and I have agreed that I will reshape her body, and naturally I will not treat her badly. ”

"Then I was relieved. ”

After Lin Yueyao said this, she was suddenly blown away by a gust of wind, and the place where she was standing was actually empty at the moment.

Gu Changqing was surprised, did the blue sky and the day change in front of his eyes?

Ren Yi looked at Gu Changqing's rare and strange appearance, and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, this is a seven-grade spell used by Senior Sister Lin, called 'Yuan Shen Out of the Body', what I just talked to you about was just a trace of Senior Sister Lin's Yuan Shen, and she herself was still thinking about the cliff!"

When Gu Changqing heard this, he remembered the huge palm of the deputy seal officer of the Dao Gong Division last night, he should have used these seven-grade spells, right?
