Chapter 45: The Storm Rises
Everyone looked out of the door together, and the person who came turned out to be Fan Zhou, and everyone hurriedly got up to greet them.
Fan Zhou's outfit for today's appearance was a little embarrassed, his robe was torn and stained in many places, and his bun was half scattered, which was quite uninhibited.
Zhang Youling hurriedly grabbed Fan Zhou and asked, "Brother Fan, is he going to the trial again?"
"Well, I just came back from the Yuan Infant Stage Trial Zone, and I was almost plotted by those pickled things. I was in a bit of a hurry when I came, and I don't know if I can borrow Brother Youling's cave to wash up, and by the way, I can borrow another set of clothes to wear, so as not to embarrass you. Fan Zhou quipped.
"It's an honor! Brother Fan, come with me. Zhang Youling pulled Fan Zhou and was about to walk to the back of the cave.
Fan Zhou said: "Brother Youling, you have so many guests, you can't favor one over the other for me, you can arrange for the puppet refiner to accompany me, I will say hello to the teachers first." ”
Fan Zhou walked to the faculty area and bowed to all the teachers, lecturers and trainee instructors and said, "Student Fan Zhou, please greet all teachers. ”
A thin old man dressed in a plain black robe said, "No courtesy, Fan Zhou, how do you feel about this trial?"
Fan Zhou got up and said: "I admire the vastness of Taiyi Academy, and the dedication of past generations of lecturers, the Huaxia people can stand in Dongshengzhou, which is a great wall of steel made by generations of ancestors with flesh and blood, and Fan Zhou is willing to become one of the useful bricks." ”
Beside the old man was a fat white teacher, who put down the chicken leg in his hand and said, "Fan Zhou, have you already thought about not caring about the of your master?"
Fan Zhou said in a deep voice: "I didn't know the breadth of Dongshengzhou before I entered the school, Fan Zhou was like a frog in a well in the past years, and now he has jumped out of the well, how can he jump back into the well to compete with other frogs." ”
The fat old man stroked his palms and laughed: "Sure enough, I realize, go and change your clothes, we will wait for you to have a banquet together." ”
After Fan Zhou went to the mansion with the puppet, Zhang Youling hurriedly said to the fat old man: "Master Bai, what has Brother Fan realized? ”
The crowd expressed their willingness to be taught.
Master Bai picked up a fat chicken and took a bite and said, "Just like someone likes to eat phoenix liver and dragon marrow, and the old man likes to eat fat chicken and pork, some truths are understood, and if you don't understand, he still doesn't understand when you tell him 10,000 times."
No one can wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, when will you, little Heavenly Master, wake up completely?"
Zhang Youling's face turned red and said, "Master Bai has taught the right lesson, but the student shoulders the hope of the thousand-year revival of Longhu Mountain, and he can't go to the trial without worry, what if he dies in battle?"
The Black Master on the side slapped the table and said, "Confused! The lineage of Longhu Mountain continues to this day, and at least one-third of the reigning Heavenly Masters died in battle, otherwise how could Longhu Mountain have today's status."
A leader of the Dao Alliance who can't fight, how many people do you think will really support him? Friendship Spirit, don't worry, if you die in battle, there will be more powerful disciples emerging from Longhu Mountain.
Maybe because of your unexpected death, many suppressed geniuses will have the opportunity to show their faces. ”
Zhang Youling looked embarrassed and said: "Master Black, it's just that others say that I am a gentleman, when did I not come to the banquet, but you didn't save any face when you scolded me, this is a bit excessive, right?"
The Black Master sneered and said, "If others want to be scolded by me, they are not in the mood to scold, but I will scold you for being a half-asleep and half-awake person who deliberately can't wake up, so as not to lead you astray." ”
Zhang Youling said helplessly: "Master Black, since you want to scold, you can't favor one over the other, everyone who drinks the banquet today should be scolded, and please wake them up." ”
"Okay!" the black guru said to the white guru, "Are you scolding, or am I scolding?"
The White Master said, "I'll tell them why you're scolding them, and then you can wake them up." ”
"Okay, that's it!"
When the students saw that the lama was about to teach, they all gathered around and sat around the two lamas.
Master Bai wiped the grease on his mouth with a towel, drank another glass of wine, moistened his throat, and said, "Students, today I will give you a temporary class, you have to listen attentively, this is a course related to what kind of position you can occupy in the cultivation realm in the future. ”
There was a murmur among the students, and the discussion was very lively, and it seemed that these Tianjiao students of Taiyi Academy were very concerned about their future status and reputation.
Guru Bai continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think is the greatest enemy of our monks?"
"It's desire! Desire induces demons in the heart, destroys the self and Daoji, and is the great enemy of our monks. ”
"It's because the mind is not strong! Looking ahead and hesitating, the cultivation is stagnant, and it is difficult to break through the realm. ”
"It's a lack of resources, no guidance from a famous teacher, no cultivation resources, no matter how strong the talent is, it will be one step behind everywhere. ”
"It's a demon clan, there are a lot of them, their talent is not high, and they have to compete with us for limited cultivation resources. ”
"It's an alien race, and if it's not my Huaxia race, its heart will be different!"
“......”
The discussion among the students was very enthusiastic, with many arguments and insufficient arguments, and most of the instructors had a look of disappointment on their faces after the discussion for a long time.
Gradually, the voices of the speeches and the discussion became quieter, and only after everyone had quieted down did the White Master continue:
"First of all, I want to criticize those classmates who say that the Terran Alien Race and the Demon Race are the great enemies of our Huaxia monks.
Everything in the world has spirituality, and the human race is not the founder of Dongshengzhou, but only one of the ten thousand spirits in the world, so all races are eligible to share Dongshengzhou.
It's just that the human race first rents to cut through the thorns and thorns, and the road is blue, and it is more diligent and more only than the other races, so it can suddenly overwhelm all the races and become the leader of all the spirits, but because of this, you think that the human race should monopolize the Three Realms, then you are narrow-minded, or even wrong.
In the years of the rise of the human race, countless races either perished or migrated to other worlds, and our human race became stronger because of this?
No, the disappearance of other races has taken away the luck of the Three Realms, we have not become stronger, there are more and more cultivators, but there are fewer and fewer people who have attained the Dao, the realm has shrunk, the extreme realm has disappeared, and the cultivation of our generation of monks is too far worse than that of the ancient monks. ”
Everyone was silent, which is also the confusion of many people, the history of the development of Xiuzhen civilization for hundreds of millions of years.
After thousands of tempers, the risk of cultivation is smaller, the speed is faster, and the difficulty of breaking through the realm is lower;
The level of alchemy is getting higher and higher, the pharmacology is clear, there are more alternatives, and new Danfang drugs are emerging one after another;
The sect is more formal, and is more willing to recruit disciples than before, giving them better and more guidance and help;
When these external conditions become more superior, it stands to reason that the success rate of training high-level monks in modern times should be much greater than before.
However, on the contrary, the number of mid-level monks in the Jindan and Yuan infant stages is increasing, while the monks above the incarnation stage not only do not have an obvious upward trend, but are gradually shrinking with the passage of time.
You must know that the life of a monk will be greatly extended according to the ascension of the realm, and the monk in the transformation period will have a yang lifespan of nearly 10,000 years, supplemented by secret methods, elixirs and self-sealing techniques, and can easily survive tens of thousands of years.
Moreover, there has been no large-scale all-territory monk war in Dongshengzhou for hundreds of millions of years, so no one can explain the phenomenon of the number of high-level monks not increasing but declining.
Many years ago, the Terran monks put forward the theory of luck, but at that time it was considered heretical and was suppressed by the Daomen, but as the unexplained phenomena became more and more, everyone began to gradually accept this explanation.
The Terran cultivation realm began to gradually try to accept cultivators from other races, hoping to retain some more luck for Dongshengzhou and train more high-level monks to avoid the arrival of the end of the Dharma era.
As for the contradictions within the human race, it is not the biggest crisis in the Xiuzhen world at present, because the Xiuzhen world has long had a consensus that except for the war of annihilation between the human race, monks cannot participate in the fight on the front line.
Although there are occasional countries that violate the precepts, on the whole, the countries of Dongshengzhou can still abide by such agreements, and the various ethnic groups of the human race have retained the right to multiply.
Seeing that everyone was thinking about it, Master Bai continued, "Why are the cultivation realms of all ethnic groups and countries more restrained and do not start a real war, because the top figures of all the forces are guarding against the same enemy.
A race that is different from our creatures, a race that is born with death and destruction, a race that can take the lives of living beings and transform them into immortal and immortal bodies without emotion. ”
All the trainees gasped, most of them had heard of such an race for the first time.
"Because they are similar to our legendary Hades Clan, as long as their energy is not exhausted, they can be immortal and immortal, so they are called the Nine Netherworlds.
The race has two states of being, one in the form of rotting corpses and zombies, surviving with the flesh that devours living beings, and the other in the state of souls, surviving by absorbing the vitality and aura of life.
They are known as the Soul Masters of the Hades, and they are extremely powerful, and after a long period of hibernation, they will appear and devour all living beings that can be devoured for the sake of the East Victory Continent. ”
A student asked, "The Nine Netherworld Clan is so powerful, why can all the races in the world still thrive and survive, and does the master exaggerate the strength of the enemy a little?"
The Black Master hurriedly said, "That's a good question, why haven't the races perished yet?" because most of the high-ranking monks of the Terran race who disappeared died in the 10,000-year battle with the Nine Netherworlds.
And once every 100,000 years, when the Nine Netherworld Clan attacks on a large scale, all races and countries will truly put aside all prejudices and estrangements and join forces to resist the enemy.
Every era of the end of the law recorded in history was caused by the invasion of the Nine Netherworlds, all the top masters of each clan were killed in battle, most of the elite disciples were lost, and everything started all over again, this is the real magic generation!
It will take many years of recuperation for each clan to regain some of their vitality, and after the recovery of vitality, a new wave of Nine Nether Clan invasions will soon be ushered in, and so on. ”
A student asked bitterly: "Is there no way to kill the Nine Netherworld Clan at once, cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, sacrifice a generation, and exchange the happiness of future generations." ”
The Black Master said, "Both human and demonic nature are selfish, and every time there is life and death in the early stage of a major war, everyone can unite and defend against the enemy.
But at the end of the war, no matter how united the Pansoul Front was, it would think about the restoration of the community and the distribution of benefits after the war, and once someone began to think about it, the alliance immediately fell apart.
At that time, let alone cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, the attacks between the various camps were not as merciful as when they were against the Nine Netherworlds, so history was just repeating itself again and again. ”
