Chapter 599 Parents are dying
Three years later.
Qingxuan and Dushi came to Hanshui and reported the situation to Li Yi. In fact, they have not been in power for hundreds of years, and Qingxuan was the first to resign at the state level.
Subsequently, all the towns and state-level officials resigned one after another, and people all over the world were talking about their whereabouts. Among them, the ones who get the most attention are naturally the Sword Immortal Flying General Taiyin and others who have a Taoist relationship with the immortal. Most people think that they have gone to sleep with the immortal.
The town and state-level system came into being because of Qingxuan, and also died because of him.
It also heralds the demise of the Chinese government and the human state that has existed for thousands of years. In its place is Asgard, the ultimate ruling machine regardless of ideology, race, or culture.
Except for spiritual resources, on the mortal material level, heavenly beings are absolutely fair saints, and their rule is without suffering.
These are not what Qingxuan cares about. He himself does not like power and only assists the immortals to rule the world.
Now that there are more suitable and professional people, I am naturally willing to let go of my power and practice peace of mind. After nearly three thousand years of cultivation, Qingxuan succeeded in breaking through to the Holy King, and then continued to cultivate in secret.
Transition to the world is one step ahead of him to break through the Holy King.
However, the two of them still have a long way to go with the Holy King, and they may not be able to reach the peak in this life.
Saint King is a very vague concept. It is an honorific title, not a realm.
The difference between the strong and the weak among the Holy Kings is sometimes greater than the gap between the Incarnate God and the Nascent Soul.
"Chief Immortal, this is the report I have compiled. The foreign monks have basically settled down. The main position I gave them is to advance to higher education as Qi refining and foundation builders, similar to university."
Qingxuan handed the jade slip in his hand to Li Yi. The other party did not check it, but put it on the table. He stared at the pixel man running in the game console and asked casually:
“Would they be willing to be a school? The inheritance of a sect is more like a religion, and the cultivation of loyalty is more important in the organizational structure.”
Qingxuan replied: "I have had a long discussion with them about this. Only the inner disciples are taught the core skills. The ordinary disciples are like students. They should leave when they are old. This can satisfy them in recruiting talented geological students. Demand can also give the people the greatest freedom.”
“I remember when I was young, the sect was very tight-lipped about its own martial arts.”
Li Yi put down the game console, picked up the jade slips, and looked inside. The first thing that caught his eye were the names of all the sects outside the territory.
It contains the techniques of all sects. Although it only has two parts: Qi refining and foundation building, it is really rare. It includes everything from the most basic qi training tips to the three arts of monks, weapon refining, elixir training, formation techniques, and all kinds of heresy.
The Immortal Chief never hesitates to use his own skills, but his skills are not suitable for everyone, at least most people cannot learn them. Changchun Gong is just a pure Qi training method. Even if it is enough to enter Taoism, not everyone wants to enter Taoism.
Many people may just want to live a normal life instead of practicing Changchun Gong for decades.
Being famous all over the world is exciting, but it takes a lifetime of hard work to achieve success, so it is better to be happy doing nothing.
Hence, Baishi’s ten years of daily practice has transformed him into a god.
As long as perseverance is in place, Li Yi can guarantee that they will succeed. The latter is often the most difficult. There is no shortage of people with perseverance and talent in the world. Even if the cultivation talent cannot be transmitted through sex, at least one needs to join the sect.
There is no better place for a lawful and wealthy couple than this.
I think back when Li Changsheng just entered the spiritual practice, he originally thought that it was a great world of spiritual practice. Not only that everyone could learn the exercises, but at least there was a channel. However, contrary to expectations, even the Qi training technique that has been rubbed countless times is regarded as a treasure by others, and the three skills of practicing are only spread in a small circle.
Even taking it to the grave without revealing it to anyone.
For example, for a small problem in alchemy, adding specific medicinal materials at a certain node can increase the success rate. Li Changsheng saw it hundreds of years ago, and found someone ecstatically announcing his great discovery hundreds of years later. Or it may be an eternal problem in a certain area, but it is already known to everyone in another place hundreds of thousands of miles away.
It is very common to have gaps in knowledge, and a certain area of practice keeps going in circles.
This also leads to the phenomenon that ancient times are more prosperous than today, and ancient laws are stronger than modern laws.
After reading, Li Yi praised without hesitation:
“They are quite generous. They basically give out everything they should give. Some of them can even practice to the golden elixir stage and cultivate a monk without any shortcomings.”
Comprehensive training is a standard for a large sect. The so-called comprehensive training does not mean being proficient in everything. But at least he understands them all and will not die because of ignorance.
This is something that small sects and individual masters and disciples cannot provide.
“As a loser, it is rare to negotiate terms, not to mention that the Immortal Palace also provided some skills as compensation.” Qingxuan explained.
“The skills in the Immortal Palace are basically from the hands of the Immortal Master. At least they are a continuation of your Taoism, which has been improved by countless generations of powerful people. Although it is very exquisite, it is not suitable for ordinary people to practice.”
Dushi recited Amitabha in a low voice, and also said: "It is difficult for ordinary people to see the true method, and not everyone is suitable to climb the high mountain of Immortal Chang. These sect methods are more suitable for ordinary people and easier for people to get started. In line with today's use The acquired spiritual roots cultivated by the elixir can support most people to reach the foundation."
“This is a great merit.”
Over the past few thousand years, although the Immortal Palace has allowed everyone to practice cultivation, it has never said it would allow everyone to live forever. Even if there are acquired spiritual roots that can bring Qi into the body such as eating and drinking water, the average cultivation level of people in the world is only foundation building.
And it has only increased in the last thousand years. In the era when rituals and music collapsed, it was often difficult to even practice qi.
Everyone can practice Changchun Gong, but not everyone can master it. For those who have a little talent but don't have much perseverance, the sect's method is more suitable.
"I have the intention." Li Yi nodded slightly, quite satisfied. In terms of governing the world, Xiao Qi Du Shi was the one who best suited his liking.
Advance both hardness and softness, taking into account ordinary people, but never harming the fundamental interests of practitioners.
Asgard is different. They are used to treating everyone as a whole, a grand narrative called the human race. This is a social form derived from tens of thousands of years of resistance to countless calamities, a kind of collectivism, because without unity there is no way to survive, and without self-sacrifice there is no way to continue.
On the other hand, although Qing and Xuan Du Shi had experienced catastrophes, they were not born into calamities. So I am a little more kind and a little less paranoid.
Era shapes personality. Even a holy king is not immune to being swept away by the torrent of the times, so only formlessness can be called transcendence.
Li Yi did not take care of the affairs of the Immortal Palace before, because the Immortal Palace governs the world, and as long as it does not harm anyone, he is not qualified to ask about any method.
Either take care of it yourself or shut up.
Li Yi never takes power for granted.
Suddenly, the expressions of Qingxuandushi and Qingxuandushi became hesitant to speak. Li Yi raised his head and glanced, saying, "If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to be secretive."
“Chief Immortal, have you ever heard of the saying that prosperity is like a sword?” Qingxuan asked.
“Did Xiao Yuntian tell you? Or Feixing?”
Li Yi spoke out the causes and consequences almost without thinking. He did not speculate, but only made the most reasonable judgment based on everything he knew so far.
Xiangong wanted to recreate Zhan Tian in his previous life, but he didn't allow it. The situation hadn't reached that point, and I believe most people didn't want to really die.
"It's Fellow Daoist Xiao. I've looked for Fellow Daoist Feixing and he said that you have given the order, and he will no longer have anything to do with this matter."
Qingxuan replied that this is not something that needs to be kept secret and can be kept secret.
In the same year that the Immortal Chief took action to quell the war, when he received the order to resettle the people outside the territory, the Immortal Palace told him everything. But Qingxuan didn't ask immediately, not only because he believed in the immortal's ability, but also because he understood the immortal's character and wanted to settle things first so that everything could be settled.
He asked: "Will the prosperous age really be the knife that kills you?"
"All living beings in the world are part of the Heavenly Dao. The more monks there are, the stronger the Heavenly Dao will be. This is undisputed. But the number of monks leading to my death is not a direct causal relationship. It can be said that there is no relationship."
Li Yi did not deny it, but he also did not admit it directly. He looked at Qingxuan's slightly uneasy expression and knew he couldn't just put it away.
This kid has too many brains, and coupled with Du Shi's lack of brains, he makes things happen more vigorously than others.
But fortunately, they still believe in me the most.
"I once told you that Heaven wants me to be in harmony with the Way, do you remember?" The two nodded. The Immortal told them a long time ago.
‘If I want to be in harmony with the Tao, it only takes one thought. ’
"I have always been resisting the way of heaven, because I am not sure whether I can distinguish my true self after joining the way? Will I become a puppet? There is no way to know these. In the past, the way of heaven will naturally use force. I had a battle with the way of heaven in my previous life, so I have Reincarnation in this life.”
Li Yi explained the situation to the two of them. After hearing this, they all changed their expressions slightly and lowered their heads to think.
The relationship between heaven, earth and immortality.
If this is true, it will probably be a zero-sum game, with only winning and dying.
No wonder the Immortal Palace in the previous life was so crazy.
Du Shi looked up and saw Li Yi drinking tea calmly and calmly. His panic calmed down a little and he asked, "Does the immortal have a solution?"
"Barely enough." Li Yi replied: "With my current cultivation level, it is completely better than the way of heaven."
“But the power of Heavenly Dao will continue to grow stronger and even increase exponentially with this golden age of cultivation. Immortal leader, you should know that the growth of body size is always higher than that of individuals.”
Qingxuan grasped the key and also grasped the purpose of the Immortal Palace.
Weaken the power of heaven and earth, weaken the way of heaven.
The simplest and crudest method is of course to limit the number of monks.
“If heaven and earth are like swords and want to kill a common man like me, how can I sit still and wait for death?”
Li Yi asked back. The two of them were speechless, but they still looked worried. Qingxuan did not hide the slightest distrust in his heart.
He knows the immortal very well, he is a paternalist, especially when the safety of those close to him is in danger, he would rather take risks himself than let them be harmed in the slightest. Even if their sacrifice is the best way, even if there are only a few decades of fire left between Qingxuan and the two of them, the Immortal Chief can't bear to extinguish them.
All sacrifices must avoid the Immortal Leader, otherwise they will not succeed.
Li Yi also looked at Qingxuan. They looked at each other. He showed a gentle smile and said: "The prosperity of the world has nothing to do with me. What does the prosperity of others have to do with me? Those who are stronger than me will be weaker than me in the future, and those who are weaker than me will be weak." It will never be possible to surpass it in the future.”
The undoubted self-confidence made the two of them feel more at ease. They believed that Li Yi had always shown unrivaled strength.
But this time is different.
Because what we faced before were all tangible things, even for countless kalpas, they were in the form of explosions of existence. But the way of heaven is different from the way of heaven. It is the embodiment of all living beings and the collection of all things in heaven and earth.
Even if there are some problems with Him, it still cannot change the supreme status of Heaven.
The enemy of the Immortal Chief will no longer be a certain person, but all living beings in the world, and even himself.
Qingxuan looked worried and continued: "Chief Immortal, a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. It's somewhat inappropriate for you to sit like this."
“I have a clever plan.”
“May I ask what this clever plan is?”
Li Yi slowly raised his fist, Qing Xuan thought about it carefully for a long time, and said tentatively: "Do you have a special method?"
"No."
"Then why are you still sitting here? No, I have to break up the original placement plan and limit the number of monks. It cannot truly allow everyone to freely choose the direction of practice. The method of the Immortal Palace is very good. , extremely high threshold, isolating most people.”
“Even those monks who have just returned from outside the territory will not resist a small number of people enjoying most of the cultivation resources.”
Qingxuan made a move to turn around and leave, but then his fist landed lightly on his head, causing a numbness to spread all over his body.
With a plop, he touched the ground with his face, and his body kept twitching on the ground, which frightened the monk next to him to open his eyes slightly.
The dignified Holy King of a generation was directly shocked to the point of unconsciousness.
Li Yi ordered: "Qiong Yu, send Xiao Qi to the guest room."
“Okay, senior immortal.”
Qiong Yu dragged Qingxuan away, Du Shi whispered a Dharma chant, and didn't say another word.
He understood the meaning of the fist.
The next day, Qingxuan woke up and found Li Yi. Without making any sense, he was knocked to the ground again.
This time Qingxuan was on guard. He was at the level of a holy king, proficient in three thousand Taoist arts, and hundreds of magical powers. How could he be so angry if he knew how to use thunder?
Afterwards, Qingxuan lay in state for three years, improving his thunder skills.
“I have always believed in immortals.”
Qingxuan stood next to Li Yi with a smile on his face. After some enlightenment, he had completely let go of his worries.
Although Du Shi was not enlightened, he had no idea of intervening in this matter.
Li Yi poured tea for the two of them and said slowly: "Why are you so anxious? The relationship between Heaven and me is not a matter of life and death, and it is not certain whether you will still be alive at that time."
“Drink tea and don’t think about whether you have these things or not.”
Qingxuan Dushi and the two of them responded, sat down and drank the tea in one gulp, while the three of them chatted at the flowers in the courtyard.
Mostly trivial matters.
Transition completely refined the world of Bodhi and received the teachings of a Buddha. Li Yi was not interested in asking about the true meaning of Buddhism. He had stopped practicing hereticism for a long time.
As long as you live in this world without worrying about your life, that’s fine.
Qingxuan has been cultivating the Qing Dynasty for thousands of years, teaching his disciples from time to time. He has produced eighteen gods under his command, and he was once called the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty.
The name was too big, and Qingxuan himself didn't recognize it, but it didn't stop him from showing off to Du Shi.
Du Shi is a simple and honest man, not good at speaking, and doesn’t know how to refute: he is led in by his master, and his practice depends on himself.
It’s very bluffing to cultivate eighteen transformed gods, but to a large extent it does have the right time, place, and people. After all, all the local monks with the best qualifications were sent to the Shangqing Palace.
It is not unusual for billions of people to have eighteen gods.
Li Yi looked at the date and said, "Come have a meal this year, as my parents are coming back."
With time, if the incarnation suffers any external injuries or internal diseases, and continues to cultivate health and recuperate, in this era, the life span can be close to 4,000 years. But the theoretical limit of lifespan requires the peak cultivation level of that realm. My parents are not at the peak of **** transformation, and they don't have that ability.
The second uncle has a chance to attain enlightenment.
It's time for parents to eat the longevity fruit if they want to continue living.
