"Inner monks and outer monks are both family monks, but they choose different paths. Although becoming an outer monk is more dangerous and the risk of death is high, if you can truly grow up, your future achievements will be higher..." The family hopes that the monks within the clan will become internal monks. To be precise, it should be what the high-level monks of the family expect.
From the perspective of the long-term development of the family, outer monks are not only a choice to balance the inner monks, but also an indispensable supplement. Although there cannot be too many outer monks, they are indispensable.
So Li Dongxiu said a little bit in favor of outside monks, but only a little.
The same family monks also need to exchange resources for skills. The living environment of outside monks is harsh, and the resources paid are relatively small. If they can grow up, their achievements will inevitably be higher.
In fact, the difference between internal and external monks only exists in the family under the Golden Core stage. Once you become a Golden Core monk, there is no difference between internal and external monks. But being able to grow from an outside monk to a Golden Core monk is obviously more important.
Conducive to the development of the family.
But for real monks, the mortality rate is too high. If you want to grow up, perseverance, luck, and wisdom are all indispensable.
If you don’t have the courage to move forward when it comes to choices within the family, it is better to be an honest internal monk within the family.
Letting mediocre people become monks will either waste their lives, or they will achieve nothing and do nothing. There are even some people who live in hiding like mortals.
Therefore, within the family, it is not recommended to become outside monks, but if there are people with firm beliefs, they will not stop it. Just like after the ancient ceremony, it is a good time to let these family monks choose.
"I'll give you an hour to think about it. Once you've considered it, draw your choice on the paper. Choose the inner monk to draw a circle, and choose the outer monk to draw a cross. You can't use pen and ink, you have to use your own blood..."
When the patriarch Li Dongxiu said these words, some papers of uniform sizes also flew out of his storage bag, and under the control of his spiritual consciousness, they accurately landed in front of each Qi Practitioner.
Although the family hopes that all monks in the family will choose internal monks, it still provides an environment for true self-selection.
If we continue to impose restrictions at this time, such as directly asking those who want to become lay monks to come forward, it would be a bit too much. The existence of a system of lay monks is necessary.
Li Qiao looked at the exquisite paper floating in front of him and took it directly into his hand without any hesitation.
The paper is about the size of two palms and is milky white. It is said to be paper, but it has a certain thickness when you touch it. The front is somewhat hard, but the back is extremely soft.
This kind of paper is specially made from the fascial cortex of monster beasts mixed with some materials. Although it is not expensive, it is more durable. If they do not die unexpectedly, the life of a monk is relatively long, and the paper that records the information also needs to be able to
Withstand the invasion of time.
It was said that they were given an hour to think about it, but as soon as they got the paper, several monks used the blade of their swords to make slits in their hands, and when they started writing, they were even more ruthless, directly putting pressure on the blood vessels to make the blood flow in a straight line.
Spray out, and at the same time, the movement of the hand is not slow at all, and a circle is sprayed out directly.
The paper is a blank paper. Just put some blood on it and it will be done. There is no need to record anything extra. Whoever chooses what will be recorded in Li Dongxiu's mind immediately. The reason why it is drawn with blood is to facilitate the inspection of the handwriting in case there is a problem in the future.
You can still imitate anything, and your blood cannot be shed by others.
Such rigor also means that once this choice is determined, it cannot be changed.
Li Qiao didn't go to see anyone else. He was different from others. He only had one choice.
Other family monks can become internal monks, but if he chooses to be an internal monk, he will most likely continue to clean the alchemy furnace at Master Xi. To be realistic, there are few resources from the family now, and becoming an external monk will not change the status quo.
, at least he has a chance to go out and fight. Even if he gives up, he can go home instead of wasting time in cleaning the alchemy furnace.
Thinking of this, Li Qiao didn't hesitate. He had a storage bag with a facade, but because he had no consciousness, he couldn't store things, so he just bit his finger with his mouth and started to make crosses.
I originally thought it was just two random shapes, but when my fingers were writing in pain, I suddenly had some insights.
The inner monk draws a circle, indicating that future cultivation is limited to the rules of the family, while the outer monk draws a cross, as if to obliterate himself, indicating the difficulty and danger of the outer monk's path.
When all the monks finished painting, the patriarch Li Dongxiu left without saying anything. He was not surprised by Li Qiao's choice, and he didn't care much.
On the second day after returning to the family, Li Qiao was informed that he did not need to go to Alchemist Xi. Instead, he went to the family soul palace, left his soul lamp, and then went out to explore. Of course, if he chose to stay within the family
No one cares about it.
The soul lamp is a special magic weapon that can retain the spirit of a monk. If the monk dies within a certain distance, the soul lamp will be extinguished and can guide the direction. If the distance is too far, it will be extinguished many years after the monk's death. p>
This is generally known to immortal cultivating families. In such immortal cultivating families, only a few core cultivators will own soul lanterns.
The Li family, which has a long heritage, also knows that another main function of the soul lamp is to detect whether there is something wrong with the monks who have returned.
There are as many strange techniques as stars in the world of immortality. It is difficult for a family monk to return after leaving home. It is difficult to guarantee that he has not been replaced or controlled by the soul. If there is no problem with the monk, combined with the special secret method, when the monk appears within a certain range of his soul lamp,
The flame of the lamp will become stronger. If the soul lamp shows no response, it means that there is a serious problem with the monk's soul.
Normally, the soul lamp is lit by monks using their spiritual consciousness. Li Qiao has no spiritual consciousness, so he can only light it with essence and blood. After lighting the soul lamp and releasing a lot of blood, his face became a little pale.
"Are you dazzled?" When Li Qiao left, the monk in charge of the soul lamp seemed to see Li Qiao's soul lamp flashing a flash of cyan, but after careful observation, he did not find anything abnormal. After waiting for a while, nothing happened.
Found that cyan flashed again.
The monk believed in himself very much, but after that he often observed the soul lamp and found no problems.
Generally, the soul lamps of monks in the Qi training period are light yellow. It is abnormal for other colors to appear, but it only flashes by and only once, so it should not be a big problem.
But the monk finally tried casting a spell with the soul lamp. When he saw that the flame of the lamp was getting stronger and there was no abnormality, he gradually felt relieved.
