Chapter 52: The weather is swaying, and the sun is prospering
Jiang Ming didn't take the invitation from Qingyun Sect seriously.
Went as promised and talked about it for a while.
Daoxuan started to get straight to the point.
"I wonder what Master Jiang thinks of the current world of cultivation?"
"Master Daoxuan, the rise of Shushan is the general trend. Wouldn't it be wonderful for Qingyun to join the Shushan Sect and seek the road to immortality together?" Jiang Ming stopped pretending and extended an invitation to Daoxuan.
Daoxuan was hesitant and before he could answer, the old monk Puzhi on the side spoke: "Master Jiang, if this poor monk joins Shushan, can Shushan open the five volumes of the Heavenly Book?"
Pu Zhi devoted himself to exploring the secret of immortality. In the previous conversation, Jiang Ming intentionally or unintentionally told the origin of the five volumes of the "Book of Heaven", which made Pu Zhi see the hope of immortality. Naturally, his heart was surging and he wished he could leave to study in Shushan.
"Junior brother, don't talk nonsense!"
Upon hearing that Pu Zhi was planning to change his job, Pu Hong looked warm and angry and quickly stopped.
The four great monks from Tianyin Temple came to Qingyun Mountain, originally intending to put pressure on Shushan together with Qingyun Sect, but after just a few words of conversation, Puzhi, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, was about to surrender to the enemy, which was like slapping Tianyin Temple in the face.
"Senior brother, our practice is to pursue immortality. If we stick to the sect's views, we will only jeopardize ourselves from immortality. What's more, the five volumes of the Book of Heaven were all understood by the Emperor of Heaven. It can be seen that Buddhism and Taoism are originally one family, so why should we have a mind of distinction."
Exploring the mystery of immortality is Pu Zhi's lifelong pursuit. The opportunity is right in front of him, and he is unwilling to give up.
Jiang Ming said: "Puzhi Divine Monk is willing to join, so he is naturally welcome. However, to join Shushan, you have to give up your original identity. In addition, because of the incident on Huqi Mountain, I hope Tianyin Temple will close the mountain for a hundred years as a punishment."
"Arrogant."
Pukong was furious when he heard this. He was one of the four great monks of Tianyin Temple, with the lowest ranking, but the most fierce temper. When he was young, he subdued demons and killed countless people with the Buddhist treasure "Buddha Golden Bowl" in his hand.
evildoer.
Not long ago, it was Pukong who went to Tianyin Temple to kill the Tianhu clan.
"Amitabha! Master Jiang's request is too much."
Pu Hong looked slightly angry, but he felt that Jiang Ming was pushing the envelope even further.
"Is it too much? The Ghost King Sect's wife, Xiao Chi, took her six-year-old daughter to the Liuhu Cave to visit her grandma. Master Pufang, without asking the reason, used the magic treasure of the Buddha's Golden Bowl to collapse the Liuhu Cave, resulting in the tragic death of Grandma Baguio."
Jiang Ming said calmly: "Bullying the old, weak, women and children, Master is really majestic."
"The poor monk kills demons and eliminates demons."
Pu Fang was red-faced and spoke out in rebuttal.
"Images are born in the mind, demons see demons in the mind, and Buddhas see the Buddha in the mind of the Buddha. The demon has not yet taken the precept to kill, but the master has rash thoughts of killing. The demon's mind has already existed, and he is far away from the Buddha!"
As soon as these words came out, Pufangdun felt at a loss as to what to do. Could it be that he was really possessed by a demon?
Jiang Ming said calmly: "Cause and effect exist on their own. The monster is a monster because of cause and effect. When you see it, you should be diligent, vigilant and compassionate, instead of shrinking back and fearing. Do you understand?"
"Ah this..."
Pu Fang was stunned for a moment, and then the confusion disappeared from his eyes. He quickly held the Buddha's gift and bowed slightly: "I see, this poor monk has been taught!"
When Pu Hong saw this, he felt something was wrong, but what Jiang Ming said was not wrong and full of truth, leaving him unable to refute.
In fact, the truth was just for others to listen to. Jiang Ming killed more monsters than the entire Tianyin Temple combined.
It's normal for people to have double standards.
Daoxuan thought for a moment and said: "What if the Qingyun Sect doesn't want to join Shushan?"
"If we are both righteous monks and the Qingyun Sect is unwilling to join, Shushan will not force us to do so."
It doesn't matter to Jiang Ming whether Qingyunmen will join or not.
With five volumes of "Book of Heaven" and Shushan Immortal Law, it only takes some time for Shushan to leave Qingyun Sect far behind.
I sent out the invitation just because I wanted to complete the second main quest as soon as possible.
After a conversation, Daoxuan and Puhong were quite stubborn, and eventually the discussion inevitably turned into a physical fight.
In the world of cultivation, the strong are always respected. If reasoning is useful, there is no need to practice.
Again, the purpose of reading is to calmly talk to idiots, and to practice is to allow idiots to calmly talk to themselves.
Daoxuan and Puhong are not stupid, but their positions are different and they have to stand up.
On that day, Jiang Ming monopolized Daoxuan, Tian Buyi, Wan Jianyi and the four great monks of Tianyin Temple.
Then...then Jiang Ming hit seven, making both Qingyunmen and Tianyin Temple deeply feel the depth of Taoist culture.
Some people from Qingyunmen invested in Shushan to participate in the construction work, and Tianyin Temple has been closed for a hundred years.
[Ding! Main mission two is completed, reward: Little Fate Technique!]
[Small Fate Technique: Coming from the world of immortality, it is Fang Qingxue’s highest skill. It can not only condense magical powers at the expense of lifespan, but also activate the power of fate. It is one of the branches of the Great Fate Technique and can devour other magical powers to strengthen itself! 】
【Do you want to receive it?】
"Sure enough, in the end you still have to rely on force!"
Standing in the cloud, Jiang Ming looked at the system interface and muttered silently: "Get it."
As the words fell, a ray of light melted into the center of Jiang Ming's eyebrows, allowing him to quickly comprehend the Little Fate Technique.
The Lesser Fate Technique is the prototype of a branch of the Great Destiny Technique. It can directly burn lifespan, condense the power of fate flowing out of the Gate of Eternal Life into all the worlds, and cooperate with the Gate of Eternal Life to kill enemies with the shadow. It can also quickly condense magical powers, or swallow three thousand
Supernatural powers beyond the avenue.
To put it simply, this is a life-saving magical power. By consuming lifespan, you can exchange for powerful strength or enhance your luck.
If you advance to the Great Destiny Technique, you can even summon the phantom of the Gate of Eternal Life to suppress the heavens.
The supernatural power is good, but it's a bit life-threatening.
[The host has completed two main tasks and meets the conditions for return. Do you want to return? 】
"Won't return yet."
Jiang Ming still has a lot of things to do and is in no hurry to leave.
Three years have passed in a blink of an eye.
Since Qingyun Sect was incorporated into Shushan and Tianyin Temple was closed, Shushan has officially become the largest sect in the world of cultivation, and no one in the world dares to disobey orders.
After three years of diligent study and hard training, the first batch of outer sect disciples in Shushan have all been promoted to entry-level disciples. Some of the more outstanding disciples have become in-house disciples and have begun to practice more advanced techniques, and their cultivation levels have improved by leaps and bounds.
The three-year period has arrived, and the second Shushan Admissions Conference has begun.
The scale this time was dozens of times larger than the first one, with hundreds of thousands of teenagers gathering in Xiaochi City.
There were so many people and it was so noisy.
Among them are young disciples from the Ghost King Sect, Hehuan Sect, Qingyun Sect, and some disciples from other cultivation sects participating in the selection.
However, the largest number are those children from ordinary families. After many layers of selection, more than 3,000 people finally passed the examination.
As the scale of Shushan expanded, Daoxuan, Wan Jianyi, Tian Buyi, Ten Thousand People, Qinglong, and Mrs. Sanmiao all became the elders of Shushan. They usually taught disciples, or discussed the "Book of Heaven" and Taoism, and their cultivation became increasingly advanced.
Shui Qilin also naturally ran to Shushan to eat and drink.
Jiang Ming spent most of his time practicing his magical powers, occasionally giving guidance to Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu, or going to the Shiwan Mountains in southern Xinjiang to harvest a wave of monsters.
During this period, the five tribes in southern Xinjiang had been moved to the Central Plains by Jiang Ming, turning Shiwanda Mountain into a breeding ground for monsters, providing a steady stream of pure blood elixirs.
Three years and three years.
In the blink of an eye, the ten-year period has arrived, and the strength of the first batch of disciples in Shushan has now reached the golden elixir stage.
Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu have even reached the Nascent Soul stage, and are now able to stand alone.
Jiang Ming felt that the time was right and summoned Lin Jingyu.
"Master, this is the latest information from our Shushan Sword Sect."
Lin Jingyu took a jade slip and showed it to Jiang Ming.
Since two years ago, Jiang Ming began to delegate power to Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan, asking them to handle Shushan affairs together. Now the two have made great progress in cultivation, and their status in the sect is getting higher and higher.
Jiang Ming took the jade slip and said with a smile: "Jingyu, thank you for your hard work. Prepare yourself. In three days, I will let you inherit the position of head of Shushan."
"Master, you are still in your prime, the Shushan Sword Sect is in no hurry to hand it over to your disciples!"
Lin Jingyu said modestly.
Now Jiang Ming is in his prime, but Lin Jingyu thinks that he is not yet able to lead Shushan well, and is a little afraid that he will make mistakes.
Jiang Ming looked at Lin Jingyu seriously: "Jingyu, my master is about to ascend, and someone needs to bear the heavy burden of Shushan. Xiaofan is a good person, but he is too sincere and does not know how to adapt. The leader of Shushan is not you.
No one else."
"What?"
"Master is about to ascend!"
Hearing that Jiang Ming was about to ascend, Lin Jingyu's face was full of shock and reluctance.
After being master and apprentice for ten years, Lin Jingyu had great respect for Jiang Ming, but he never expected that they would have to part ways so soon.
"Jingyu, Shushan will be left to you and Xiaofan from now on. The road ahead will be long. If you don't understand something, you can ask Elder Wan and Master Daoxuan for advice..."
Jiang Ming explained the matter, and Lin Jingyu understood Jiang Ming's master's good intentions, and immediately bowed and bowed three times without refusing.
Three days later.
Thousands of disciples from Mount Shu gathered at Tiandu Peak.
"The human realm is insignificant, the immortal realm is vast, and the ghost realm is joyful!"
"When you are born, you will be born in the immortal way, and you will die in the ghost way;"
"The path of immortality always brings good fortune, and the path of ghost always brings misfortune;"
"It is high, pure and beautiful, and its tragic song is clear in the sky;"
"I only wish that immortality can be achieved, but I don't want humanity to be poor."
"..."
"The weather is turbulent, but our sun is prosperous!
"
The Shushan disciples were all dressed in white as snow and sang "The Immortal Sutra" in unison.
Under the expectant eyes of everyone in Shushan, Lin Jingyu, who had clear sideburns and straight robes, slowly stepped forward and came to Jiang Ming with a solemn expression.
"Lin Jingyu, are you willing to take over the position of headmaster of Shushan and protect Shushan and protect the common people from now on?"
Jiang Ming asked loudly.
Lin Jingyu's face showed a solemn look: "Lin Jingyu is willing to take over the position of Shushan's headmaster, uphold justice, ward off evil, and protect the common people!"
Jiang Ming nodded with satisfaction and handed the leader's seal and the secretly refined Seven-Star Sword into Lin Jingyu's hands.
"Zhang Xiaofan obeys the order."
Jiang Ming turned to look at Zhang Xiaofan next to him.
"Disciple Zhang Xiaofan takes the order."
Zhang Xiaofan stood up and saluted.
"Zhang Xiaofan, from now on, I will appoint you to take over as the elder of Yuanshen and assist Lin Jingyu in taking charge of Shushan."
Jiang Ming took out the elder token and handed it to Zhang Xiaofan.
"Disciple, I will obey my master's orders and concentrate on assisting my senior brother in taking charge of Shushan." Zhang Xiaofan replied solemnly.
His words were sonorous and powerful, and his voice was so loud that it could be heard almost in the entire hall.
"Okay, from now on this world will be the stage for you young people!"
Jiang Ming smiled and nodded, then turned around and walked off the platform, giving up his position to the young man.
Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan stood on the high platform and said loudly: "The weather is turbulent, and our sun is prosperous."
"The weather is turbulent, but our sun is prosperous!
!”
In front of the Sanqing Hall, all the Shushan disciples pulled out their swords from their waists and then controlled the flying swords to fly into the air.
For a moment, Wanjian took off with great momentum. From a distance, the scene was very spectacular!
