Chapter 35: The Sermon Conference
When Xue Ba returned home, it was getting late.
Qin Gushen uncharacteristically did not come up to trouble Luo Xiaohu, but sat on the sofa and watched the TV intently.
On television, a female reporter interviews a middle-aged man, with a burning building behind him, and billowing smoke blackening the sky.
Xue Ba glanced at it a few times and was immediately attracted.
“... When I opened my eyes, I saw a dragon standing in front of me, staring at me with such big eyes, staring at me for a long time! I turned around and left! I vomited a fire before leaving, and my house was burned down at once!" the middle-aged man said excitedly while gesturing.
"What kind of dragon? is it a person wearing a dragon head cover?" the female reporter listened to the middle-aged man's words, trying to restore the picture at that time.
"I'm a dragon! He is taller than a mountain in the sky, and he is bigger than the sea when he goes to the sea! Nezha knows it? Nezha is the kind of dragon that Nezha fights!" the middle-aged man was frantic and shouted hoarsely.
"I saw it too! It's really a big dragon! Hey, it's a labor and management stop!" an old man who spoke in a dialect next to him couldn't stop nodding.
“... Let's interview Captain Li of the fire brigade!" The female reporter was stunned for a moment, and then turned around and interviewed a firefighter next to her.
"The end of the year is here, and the competition for the annual sand sculpture news is getting more and more intense!" Luo Xiaohu was very disapproving.
"Brother Xiaohu, did you say that there are dragons in this world?" Xue Ba asked curiously.
"As far as I know, you can find a dragon all the way to the west, but since Dongguan was purged, there hasn't been one!" Luo Xiaohu's face was melancholy, remembering the happy years he had had.
"According to common sense, dragons should not exist, otherwise even if no one sees the living dragon, the dragon's corpse and even the dragon horns and dragon scales should have been discovered long ago!" Xue Ba ignored Luo Xiaohu's words and said to himself.
"According to common sense, he should have died a few days ago!" Qin Gu God said meaningfully with a pouting at Luo Xiaohu.
Xue Ba was stunned, only then did he realize that these days, the cultivation system has also been picked up, and Tianlei has also seen it, and he even repelled a strange hand that appeared out of nowhere, which can be said to have completely subverted the worldview for more than ten years.
But for the dragon, the kind that soars through the clouds, swallows fire and rain, and disappears into intangible, he still can't believe it.
"Brother Ceres, have you ever seen a dragon?" Xue Ba looked at Qin Gushen expectantly, hoping to get a positive answer from him.
"I haven't seen it! Legend has it that the dragon was conceived between the aura of heaven and earth, and it is the most divine spiritual creature in the world! Only people with a very strong immortal relationship have the opportunity to see it! But I have been practicing for so many years, and I have never heard of anyone who has ever seen a living dragon!" Qin Gushen shook his head.
"But!" Qin Gu Myth turned, "This is the CTV News Channel!"
Xue Ba suddenly figured out that the broadcast of this news itself represented an official attitude.
In the past, the news involving strange forces and chaos was broadcast on TV, even if it was circulated on the Internet in the form of gossip, it would not be long before it would be 404.
Could it be that the relevant departments have also begun to consciously guide the public to accept the existence of the supernatural?
Xue Ba remembered the feeling of being in the examination room in the morning, and contacted the system to say, "It's a big deal!", and the whole person suddenly lost his mind.
Seeing Xue Ba's worried appearance, Qin Gushen couldn't help but smile.
"What do you want to do so much! When the sky falls, someone will naturally stand on it! The most important thing at the moment is..."
"What is it?" Xue Ba was nervous for no reason.
"You help me! I'll help you! You don't want your little girlfriend to be rich!" Qin Gushen unconsciously used the master's mantra.
"How do you want me to help you?" Xue Ba blurted out before he felt that something was wrong, and quickly retorted, "Lina is not my girlfriend. “
Qin Gushen's eyes were resolute, and he resolutely said, "I want you to help me win the preaching conference in three months!"
Xue Ba remained silent and began to contact the small encyclopedia of cultivation in his mind.
...
Under the systematic popularization of science, Xue Ba finally understood what the preaching conference was all about.
Since the enlightenment of human beings, they have begun the journey of cultivating truth through life and death and jumping out of heaven and earth.
In the beginning, most cultivators worked alone and practiced independently.
But with the rise of the sect and Taoism, Xiuzhen gradually changed from an individual struggle to a group faction.
The many people bully the few, the old ones bully the new ones, the Lingshan Wonderland, the Heavenly Spirit and Earth Treasures, the Immortal Grass Strange Beasts and other important resources related to the lives of cultivators are firmly in the hands of the major forces, and the solidification of the class is becoming more and more serious.
Because of this, it is becoming more and more difficult for newcomers to get ahead, and the cultivation realm lacks the injection of fresh blood, just like a decaying towering tree, the surface is lush and green, but in fact it is precarious.
The people of the world only say that heaven and earth are not benevolent, but they do not know the cycle of heaven, and there is constantly a trace of vitality, and a wonderful situation has been born, which is called "fairy mound".
The immortal mound contains a vast aura, Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass, all over the mountains and wilderness are within reach, and the inexhaustible secret treasures of the fairy family are scattered everywhere.
But the immortal mound is opened every fifty years, and it is opened for seven days, and those who enter must pass three trials, and the cultivation shall not be higher than the Jindan period, if it is higher than the Jindan period, once entered, it will be crazy on the spot, and die of exhaustion.
After thousands of years of bloody struggle, the powerhouses of the cultivation realm gradually reached a consensus, and if they continued to fight like this, the entire cultivation realm would only decline.
Therefore, under the planning of several great powers who are about to ascend to the immortal realm, a plan that can not only mediate the disputes in the cultivation realm, but also complete the allocation of resources in the cultivation realm, and at the same time encourage newcomers to practice hard, that is, the Dao Conference.
The preaching conference is held once every 50 years, at which each sect and sect can send a new generation of disciples to compete in martial arts, show their ability, and finally select the three strongest disciples from the middle and be given to enter the 'immortal tomb', in order to pass the trial and achieve their own chances.
At the same time, the results of the competition of the Daoist Conference are also the only basis for determining the right of the sect to speak in the Xiuzhen world, even if you are a single person and a unique sect, and you have achieved the best ranking in the Daoist Conference, you can also become the leader of the Xiuzhen Realm, become an important figure in the word, and it is the object of the various sects.
"Brother Ceres, I'm just a rookie who has just cultivated my life! I don't understand anything! You want me to help you! I don't know how to do it myself!"
"Do you know what my biggest experience is after so many years of practice?" Qin Gushen said indifferently.
"If you cultivate the truth, you can't do it!"
Qin Gushen stretched out his finger and went straight up.
"Look at the sky!"
"But, relying on heaven to make things happen is not my Qin Gu God's style!".
"I hope, or I feel!"
"Neither are you!"
