Chapter 11: Do good deeds and dont worry about your future
The dark clouds were rolling, the thunder was booming, and in the afternoon, the sky and the earth seemed very dark.
In the dark clouds high in the sky, Zhang Ke and Jiu Ren Zhenjun were looking down indifferently like gods.
Lord Jiuren saw countless people slipping on the muddy ground in panic in the heavy rain, and he couldn't help it.
"Ruyi, is this what you want to see?
If this continues, Nanzong will probably lose its people."
Jiuren Zhenjun's words were a reminder to Zhang Ke.
In the blue world, the 'money tree' needs to accumulate popularity and faith in order to grow and produce various kinds of talisman money.
Therefore, most sects will try their best to help ordinary people.
It ranges from opening mountains and diverting seas, calling wind and rain, to subduing monsters and catching ghosts, offering sacrifices and saving people. Practitioners are found in almost all fields.
For thousands of years, ordinary people have become accustomed to going to practitioners to solve problems.
Sometimes this is even taken for granted.
Zhang Ke wants to change all this, not because he doesn't want to help ordinary people, but because he wants ordinary people to be able to stand on their own feet.
In the past, he implemented the Taoist system within the sect in the hope that practitioners and ordinary people could better integrate together.
However, Zhang Ke found that the more practitioners involved in the secular world, the more dependent ordinary people became.
What he hopes is to enlighten the people's wisdom and guide the social development of ordinary people, instead of the current situation where ordinary people can only cling to practitioners like vines.
Looking at the chaotic situation below, although Zhang Ke couldn't bear it, he still decided to persevere.
“If there are grievances, let them vent them.
Patriarch, you see, even if we didn’t interfere, the people would still be able to solve the problem.
In the past, they were used to our help, but now they need to change their mindset.
Perhaps resentment will lead to a loss of popularity and faith, but as long as they can be independent, it will all be worth it.
Only when you are self-reliant can you be strong!”
Zhenjun Jiuren sighed softly:
"I hope you are right. You are the head of Nanzong, and only you will be responsible for the success or failure in the future."
Zhang Ke smiled slightly.
"I think the way practitioners and ordinary people get along now is not quite right.
Practitioners have a long life span and their knowledge and experience far exceeds that of ordinary people, but their number is much smaller than that of ordinary people.
Therefore, the role of practitioners should be to guide, rather than to do everything themselves and solve everything.
Ordinary people have a short lifespan, but their numbers are huge, but they are the cornerstone of the world.
If both parties can coordinate their respective responsibilities, I believe the world will be different."
At this moment, in Zhang Ke's mind, he remembered the scene in the dream of the rapid development of earth's technology.
He has some longing and wonders what kind of fruit will be produced when spiritual practice and technology collide.
Zhenjun Jiuren looked around for a few times and asked:
"Are we just going to do nothing and just keep watching?"
"Of course not, my purpose is to free mankind from the shackles and become self-reliant.
Instead of leaving it alone and letting it fend for itself.
This step is not something that can be accomplished overnight, it must be guided slowly.”
As Zhang Ke spoke, he raised his right hand, scattering emery sand all over the sky.
The endless sand and gravel are flying and split into hundreds of strands, flying everywhere below.
Soon, the gravel fell into the ground, and endless buildings rose up on the ground silently.
The mastery of [Xuan Guang] brought his control of vitality to a new level.
Dilapidated temples, half-broken houses, caves with jagged rocks, and hundreds of buildings of various sizes, large or small, appeared within a few hundred miles below.
Zhenjun Jiuren was slightly shocked. He had never heard of such a large-scale casting of spells.
He could see clearly that these buildings were built below, close to the people.
As long as ordinary people in the rain do a little exploration, they can easily find these places that can shelter from the wind and rain.
Sure enough, within half an hour, countless people below had all found these buildings and hid inside.
Without the noise of the people, there was only the sound of wind, thunder and rain in the sky and earth.
Zhenjun Jiuren pondered for a moment, somewhat confused as to the true intention of Zhang Ke's move.
"Ruyi, since we have helped the people, why do we have to look like this? In this way, they don't know that we are helping them."
Zhang Ke smiled lightly.
“Righten the path without seeking its own benefits; cultivate its principles without rushing to achieve success.
But do good deeds and don’t worry about your future!”
Zhenjun Jiuren recited it twice silently in his heart, feeling that these two short sentences seemed to contain some kind of philosophy.
After a moment, he said again: "What should we do next?"
Zhang Ke used his spiritual thoughts to explore the trembling people in the building below, and suddenly knew how to build their faith.
He turned to Zhenjun Jiuren and said:
"Grandmaster, I wonder if you have ever heard such words."
Zhenjun Jiuren asked in confusion: "What are you talking about?"
Zhang Ke is not sure if anyone in the world has heard of "The Book of Songs, Qin Feng, Wu Yi".
After all, there may be people in this world who come from the blue star in the dream.
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raised an army, I cultivated my sword and spear, and I share the same enemy with you.
How can I say that I have no clothes? When I was in the same river with my son, the king raised an army, repaired my spear and halberd, and worked together with my son.
How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same clothes with you. When the king raised his troops, he repaired my armor and soldiers and went with me."
Liao Liao's few words revealed firm belief, unity, bravery, generosity and majesty.
The simpler the words, the more touching they are.
Don't worry about not having armor. Even if you only have one, I will wear it with you. Your enemy is my enemy. We will prepare and fight together.
"This is...?"
Zhang Ke explained:
"The Patriarch must also know that I have Su Hui. This is a war song I heard in my dream, called 'Wuyi', and it was sung by the people of a great country.
I think the people below may also need a song like this to encourage each other."
Zhenjun Jiuren took a slight breath and said slowly:
"Master, what do you need me to do?"
From this moment on, he no longer regarded Zhang Ke as a junior disciple, but as a decision-maker of the sect.

"OK!"
...
In the cave.
Dozens of huge spaces are connected together, enough to accommodate thousands of people.
In addition to the third square of A, people from the fifth square of A also entered here.
Yan Liangyi sat down on the ground tiredly. He and Zou Yufeng had just settled down the three thousand people in our house.
Thanks to Yan Liangyi's previous preparations, they carried a large amount of living supplies.
Clusters of fires were ignited, blooming with bright orange light.
The firewood used in the fire is a kind of dead pine branches that are easy to burn, have high heat, last for a long time, and have little smoke.
Tired and sleepy people gathered near hundreds of fires, relying on the fires to dispel the chill that penetrated their bodies.
Zou Yufeng came to Yan Liangyi's side and sat down on the ground.
Yan Liangyi asked lazily:
"Yufeng, are all the guards and armor settled?"
"Well, the food has been distributed, and everyone's mood is quite stable.
There are some old, weak, women and children who have caught the cold and are afraid of getting a little sick."
Zou Yufeng reported the general situation and said:
"Fortunately, senior brother had the foresight to know that there is a place to take shelter from the rain, otherwise not many people would be able to survive in the rain."
Yan Liangyi glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he whispered:
"I didn't know there was a cave here, but the location we were in was not good.
The rain was so heavy that I was worried that there would be floods or wild animals rushing over.
The situation was urgent at the time, so I just told everyone that I was afraid of causing panic, so I tricked everyone into leaving."
Zou Yufeng was shocked and suddenly discovered the difference between himself and Yan Liangyi.
Even though this person is always a bit lazy, when he really does something, he is never as good as himself.
And as time goes by, even that lazy temperament seems to have changed a lot.
Yan Liangyi pondered for a moment, still a little worried.
"You are here to guard. I always feel that this cave is a bit strange. According to the direction of the nearby area, there should not be a cave.
In addition, I will try to find other brothers and sisters to get some medicine.
If you find anything wrong, don’t hesitate and fire your arrows immediately.”
"Okay, senior brother, go and come back quickly. If you tell me this, why do I feel a little scared here?"
Zou Yufeng looked at the dark darkness around him, always feeling that something would rush out.
Yan Liangyi struggled to get up, he was only in the realm of innate divine illumination.
In the past, my practice was lazy and my foundation was not stable. Although my physique was stronger than that of ordinary people, it was not much better.
In addition, I have many things to worry about and am busy here and there, and I am actually the one who has the hardest time.
In the cave, some people were whispering and discussing the heavy rain today.
There was some dissatisfaction with Yiqi Nanzong in his words, thinking that they were not well prepared to deal with disasters.
There are also some people who secretly regret and feel that they should not have left Xiantian Yiqizong in a hurry.
Although life is a little more difficult, at least there you won't be hit by wind and rain, and you won't be so hard and tired.
Hearing this, Yan Liangyi felt a little sad.
At the same time, I also secretly wondered why the two true kings did not disperse the wind and rain in the sky.
Some people were leaning against the fire and falling asleep.
Yan Liangyi calmly walked past some people.
Suddenly...
"Director, thank you!"
A childish voice came from beside me.
Yan Liangyi turned his head and saw a five-year-old girl curled up in a woman's arms and shivering.
The little girl's face had an unusual blush, she looked at him with pure and clear eyes, and whispered again.
"Director, thank you!"
In an instant, a warm current appeared, comforting him and making him feel warm all over.
"Director, thank you!"
"Director, thank you for your hard work. Come on, drink some hot water!"
"..."
Alarmed by the little girl, the people around him all thanked Yan Liangyi.
People's eyes are sharp. Over the past month, many people in the workshop have been helped by Yan Liangyi.
Everyone has a steelyard in their heart. No matter how much you pay, the weight will be weighed down.
Watching him work hard and wholeheartedly to help everyone solve problems one after another.
Everyone's hearts were filled with gratitude. This was a man worthy of respect.
For some reason, Yan Liangyi felt a little sore in his nose as he listened to everyone's thanks.
Suddenly I felt that my efforts were worth it and what I did had meaning.
He greeted everyone softly and quickly left the cave.
Outside the cave, it was raining heavily.
Ten steps away, water mist surged and enveloped the sky and the earth.
The wind howled and the thunder rumbled.
Under the flash of electric light, the swift storm roared in and rolled away the rainwater.
Yan Liangyi looked at the scene outside the cave and felt a hint of retreat in his heart.
'How about we wait until the rainstorm subsides before we go out?'
Then an image of the little girl shivering flashed through his mind. He gritted his teeth, activated his magic power to protect his head and face, and rushed into the wind and rain that swept across the sky.
