023. The West Wind Spreads to the East (Part 1)

In the battle of Zhaoting Mountain, Young Master Wangqing led Qiye into the cycle of reincarnation and became a donkey, but those who loved him and those who loved left him. Born as an immortal, how do you feel in your heart when facing the world? This battle was not only a duel between Young Master Wangqing and Qiye, but also caused chaos within the world of cultivation. The practitioners who supported Qiye and who also tried to rush into the world also entered Zhaoting Mountain. Nearly a thousand masters died tragically in a melee.
After this incident, Mr. Wangqing made a decision - seal his spiritual consciousness, forget the past in the world of cultivation, and forget his identity as an immortal, and go to the world to be an ordinary person, which is the current Feng Junzi.
Feng Junzi once vowed to leave the pain he suffered to Qiye, and he really did it! With his cultivation level, he has surpassed the peak of worldly Taoism, but he cannot ascend to become an immortal because he is an immortal. Maybe someone else will be as proud as him, but Feng Junzi himself is unwilling to understand it. Since he is in the world, he will be a real person, go through worldly disasters until he finally understands it. He forgot everything, but Qiye, who has become a donkey, remembers everything, and donkey faces people's hearts are reincarnated for generations. This punishment is really too cruel and wonderful!
This battle triggered civil strife that had long been lurking in the cultivation world, and it was also an opportunity to rule from chaos. Feng Junzi had entrusted his disciple Mei Yeshi to his disciple Mei Yeshi, and Shuzheng Zhenren also fully supported Mei Yeshi. Mei Yeshi took more than ten years to calm down the civil strife and set up new rules, claiming to be the new generation of gods in the cultivation world for thousands of years. The disputes in the world were settled, and Shuzheng Zhenren also ascended to the immortals a few years ago.
The three great masters are transformed into a rainbow, ascend to a seal, and Mei Yeshi is the leader of Kunlun. He is also in a stable foundation. He should cultivate and rest in order to make peace in the world without any trouble. However, at this time, he has to face a new problem that he has never encountered before.
Kunlun Continent has been relatively independent and closed for thousands of years. Although there are many sects in the world of cultivation, there are still unified rules. In modern times, there have been drastic changes in this world, and exchanges around the world have increased. The Eastern Continent is no longer independent. Most practitioners have been living in the world, and the world is changing their identities and actions, but they do not need supernatural powers to intervene. But if they do not intervene, some people will intervene, and the missionaries from the Western Continent are coming.
In fact, there are a group of people around the world who have their own physical and mental practice methods, and they may also gain abilities that surpass ordinary people. This is similar to Kunlun practitioners. The difference may be the difference in pursuit, belief, and worldview. Among them, the greatest power comes from the church organizations that believe in God or Catholic in the Western continent. There are factions inside them, but their attitudes towards the outside are consistent, that is, they divide each other's races by faith, and believe that everyone should be God's people and have a sense of responsibility to save the world.
There is nothing wrong with faith itself. People also need faith because it can soothe restless souls and let everyone know why they come to this world and how to exist to make sense and not fall into nothingness. There may be gods in faith, but it is not gods that guide people to believe in, but people like us. When someone appears on behalf of the will of the gods, the problem is big.
When God’s people took up swords and guns to expand into the world, their faith in God and the mission of conquering paganism were their spiritual weapons. In history, the conflict caused by this caused blood flowed into a river. When conquering colonists explained all this, comforting their souls is a kind of righteous belief that supports action.
After entering a modern civilized society, the lethality of weapons became increasingly powerful due to the development of science and technology, which made the cost of wars increasingly greater. After two large-scale world melee, direct conflicts and wars became less and less. Instead, they were another type of competition or assimilation conquest, the acquisition of resources and interests, and the control of spiritual identity.
The theocracy in modern civilization society has been separated from the regime, but the belief in God is still the source of their spiritual world. Supported by this belief background, various secular behavioral wills have also emerged - they want to spread and instill all their own ways of existence into the whole world. It should be said that modern Western civilization has many advantages, such as the checks and balances structure of democratic politics and the experimental and re-verified academic methods. But in essence, it is not aloof and transcendent correctness, but also the result of a strong balance of rights and interests.
How the secular society evolves is not something that practitioners use supernatural powers to intervene. What they can do can only be guided or advised in secular ways. For example, the Buddhist Zen Buddhism believed by the San Shao monk has always been open and freely, guiding people to understand their minds and natures, rather than using supernatural powers to force people not to eat meat.
However, the attitude of faith from the West on "worldly law" is different from that of practitioners in Kunlun Continent. Faith is a prerequisite condition for existence. "Miracles" can show God's gods and attract "confused" people in the world. They also practice "spells". Although they are different from the practice of the Eastern Continent, they also possess the power of supernatural powers. This power has two functions: one is to show God's miracles, and the other is to conquer the resistance of pagans, with the characteristics of dual forced implementation of spirit and body.
When the power of the Western church first entered the Kunlun continent, it came from the sky with the power of gods, trying to conquer everything, but was also attacked by the Kunlun cultivators using their great supernatural powers. Later, with the opening and communication of the world, their practices changed, and they penetrated from the secular world through various ways to achieve the ultimate goal of completely indirectly controlling the secular foundation. Practitioners cannot interfere in this regard, because the laws of the secular world are freedom of belief.
For people like the Three Young Masters or Umeyeshi, it doesn’t matter whether people believe in God or Bodhisattva, but there is a little bit of tolerance. What guides people to believe in God is not God or human beings, but people have hopes. In fact, what they need to demand is all the excess benefits in this world. In the end, all benefits do not belong to God, but to those who claim to represent God. This is the same as what Qiye did back then, except that they are not a Qiye, but a group of people or a gathering of forces behind them. The so-called faith is just a means for them, a cloak that controls the world.
The old revolution encountered new problems. Umenoshi used to do how to deal with internal disputes, but now he has to face subtle intrusion from the outside. God is just a will, invisible or touched, and all miracles are displayed by people. The precepts of Kunlun practitioners cannot restrain the Western religions, so it is necessary to find a way to restrain them and finally be able to live in harmony.
The third young monk stopped talking. Qingchen waited for a long time before asking again: "Master, why don't you say it?"
The third young monk: "No more."
Qingchen: "What's gone?"
The Three Young Master: "My story is over... You may not believe some things now. Before I started my practice, I couldn't believe them. This world is far more complex and exciting than what ordinary people see. There are too many incredible things. If you don't enter the door, you won't know the wonders...Okay, I know you have a lot of questions, and it's time to ask questions now."
After the Third Young Master said so much, it was indeed difficult for Qingchen to fully understand and believe it for a while, but after today's events, he had to be skeptical. She asked thoughtfully: "Young Master Wangqing Duel and Qiye, as you just said, "Where are the other masters of cultivation? Are you there at that time?"
The Third Young Master: "How much shock will Young Master Wangqing fight the seven leaves of the nine thousand miles of mountains and rivers bring to the world? He greeted him in advance. At that time, Ge Jujizan's Living Buddha was still alive. The other two masters and three of my masters were all guarding the earth veins outside Zhaoting Mountain at that time, so that the fierce fighting between these two people would not affect the world."
Qingchen: "The Western religions you just mentioned also have some magical people. I believe that I have encountered this recently, and it is indeed difficult to deal with... But with the great magical powers of the Kunlun practitioners you mentioned, why can't they be driven away directly?"
The Third Young Master: "It is easier said than done. For example, at the cocktail party today, there was a Western magic master who was also a representative of a large investor from overseas. We can fight with her in heaven, but we cannot inexplicably drive away an investor from the world. They enter in secular ways, and we can only deal with it in secular ways. And there is also a concern. After all, this is our own place. We are still the one who suffers from this big conflict. We are a bit afraid of being a mouse. I really want to fight, fight at our own house, and after the fight, it will be a mess. This is very unwise.... Sin, sin, it is actually not good to smash anyone's house!"
Qingchen: "That's true. If a hundred people like me conflict with another hundred people of equal skills, it would be enough to destroy this city. What if more people? People who are stronger than me? They can turn this continent into ruins."
The third young monk: "You are very sensible, female donor! No wonder the Mei League leader hopes for you."
