Chapter 223 Dao Sect! (Important chapter! Order!)
Zhang Guangzheng was still chattering and insulting, and it was basically a high-ranking faction controlling resources.
You can become an immortal while lying down, you can drink endless panacea, and you can learn endless magical powers.
The path of spiritual practice is to fight, but he just lost because he didn't have strong backing.
If he had the same resources as Zhang Chengdao, he could kill Zhang Chengdao without any effort.
He also scolded Longhushan for being a sanctimonious person. Why aren't those exquisite Dharma doors open to all practitioners in the world?
"Which sect are you a disciple of?"
Zhang Chengdao suddenly interrupted him.
"Hahaha - cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough" Zhang Guangzheng suddenly laughed wildly. After barely suppressing the violent cough, he said with a ferocious smile: "What? You want to take revenge on my disciple?
This is a decent family!
It's a pity that I have such a good fortune that when I was young and collecting herbs, I accidentally fell into a cave and obtained the ancient inheritance from inside. "
He twitched the corners of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with vicious light:
"I know you want my inheritance, right?
I've destroyed it and the rest is in my head.
I have placed a curse seal on the inheritance. Even if you, Longhu Mountain, have the ability to search for souls, don’t think that you can take out the memory without destroying the curse seal. "
Zhang Guangzheng's grin grew wider and wider, and the smile on his face became more and more disgusting. Zhang Xiao even wanted to go up and slap him.
"If you want it, just kneel down and beg me. No, it's too easy for you."
Zhang Guangzheng was stunned for a moment, trembling all over and talking to himself.
"Yes, kill! You go kill! Men, women, old and young, kill 999 people and bring them to me to kill, hahahahahaha!
He must be a good person. After killing him, I will give you my ancient inheritance! "
Zhang Xiao only felt that it was extremely ridiculous. He wanted to say that we don't need your bullshit ancient inheritance, but looking at his father's face, he seemed to be deep in thought and thinking about something.
Suddenly, Zhang Chengdao seemed to remember something and slapped his hand:
"Your ancient inheritance should be from the Yinsha Baigui Sect, right?
Since it is so powerful to blow something as unconventional as the Seven Evils into the body, it is probably something left by ordinary disciples of the Yinsha Baigui Sect.
According to the remains of the Yinsha Baigui Gate we found elsewhere.
Even higher than the Seven Evils entering the body are the Nine Sons Carrying the Coffin and the Hundred Ghosts Yin and Yang, which can be considered powerful even at that level. "
Zhang Guangzheng's laughter suddenly got stuck in his throat, and he looked at Zhang Chengdao in surprise.
His eyes flickered, as if trying to discern whether what he said was true.
Zhang Chengdao looked at him like a fool:
""The Supreme Compassion between Heaven and Earth, Humans, Ghosts, Yin and Yang" is probably something practiced by the Baigui Sect.
Don’t you think you’re the only one who discovered these things?
The so-called Immortal Relics, Taoism discovered as many as eighty if not a hundred.
The contents inside are all in the Taoist Hall, and all Longhushan disciples can go and view them.
But in this era, practicing ancient times has no way out.
Everyone just looks at it, no one practices it. "
The expression on Zhang Guangzheng's face suddenly stiffened, and he gritted his teeth. The thing that he regarded as a treasure was suddenly discovered to be a commodity.
And the feeling of worthlessness almost drove him crazy.
Zhang Chengdao ignored him, but shook his head and said:
"Any disciple who becomes the disciple of Longhu Mountain can learn all the methods of Longhu Mountain according to the progress.
The same is true for those who join other sects. It's like you haven't gone to elementary school yet and you blame us for not giving you college textbooks.
If you really join the sect, you will know that there is no magic elixir to increase your cultivation. Almost all elixirs are functional. "
"Impossible! Your Zhang family has controlled Longhu Mountain for generations——"
"If you want to be a Heavenly Master, you have to change your surname. This involves a relatively secretive matter that you are not qualified to know."
Zhang Chengdao suddenly asked:
"You have children, right? How are their grades?"
Zhang Guangzheng suddenly fell silent. He wanted to hide it, but he couldn't hide this kind of thing from a Taoist sect who could figure it out:
"What? You want to threaten me with my child? Don't you think you are righteous? If I were a big shot, I could inherit the sect. So what if I don't get good grades?
So what if you fail the exam? "
Zhang Chengdao suddenly laughed proudly and pulled Zhang Xiao, who looked confused:
"My son is currently studying in England and his grades are among the best. The most powerful people there want him to stay as the helmsman.
I can be a Young Master and my son can be a candidate, not because my father is an Old Master, but because I am the strongest among the younger generation!
My son is the strongest in the next generation!
It's that simple!
Considering your son's failing grades, the master must be blind to choose him as the young master! "
Zhang Guangzheng seemed to be strangled by the neck, a gurgling sound came from his throat, and his eyes bulged like a ferocious ghost:
"Smooth tongue! What about [Heavenly Court]!
You Longhu Mountain controls [Heavenly Court] and blocks everyone's path to immortality. Only people from famous families like you can become immortals.
you--"
Zhang Xiao found that his father's face suddenly turned cold, and he looked a little forlorn. This was the first time he saw his father show such an expression.
He looked at Zhang Guangzheng and said word by word:
"[Heaven] has never been a symbol of power. It only represents responsibility. People like you are not even qualified to get close to it."
Both Zhang Guangzheng and Zhang Xiao were shocked when they heard this.
Zhang Chengdao glanced at him for the last time:
"Whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me, but your sins should be settled.
I guess just dying once is not enough. "
Zhang Xiao finally seized the opportunity. Hearing that he now had a lot of questions that he wanted urgently answered, he asked:
"Dad, what is a spirit child?"
Zhang Chengdao looked at the time and estimated that Zhao Yuanxu would not be here for a while, so he picked up the immobile Zhang Guangzheng and walked towards the square with Zhang Xiao.
"That's okay. Anyway, you need to know these things when you get to Longhu Mountain. Now make up for the lessons in advance."
He thought for a while: "If we want to talk about spirit children, we cannot do without our Longhu Mountain. This is also the way the entire Taoist sect selects its disciples.
Just like in the West, not everyone goes to Hogwarts and must have the ability to use magic.
The same goes for Taoist sects. Those who have the talent for cultivation are called spirit sons. "
In other words, just like those with magical talents in the West, here only spiritual beings can practice.
Lingzi doesn't sound very nice, so it's better to call him Yiren!
So Zhang Xiao looked at Zhang Guangzheng in surprise as he was slipped into his father's hands. Is he still a spirit child?
"The number of spirit children is actually not that many. After all, there are too many people in China, and at least a few thousand spirit children are born every year.
If Lingzi can cultivate, it won't be long before the number of people in the Taoist sect will expand to a very terrifying number.
Therefore, the number of practitioners must be limited. "
Zhang Xiao immediately raised his hand:
"Question, why is there a limit on the number of practitioners? Is it not allowed by the state?"
"No." Zhang Chengdao shook his head and sighed: "It is not allowed by heaven and earth, nor by heaven. This involves another issue.
Xiaoxiao, do you still remember the question I asked you that day? "
Zhang Xiao tried his best to recall and said tentatively:
"Are those things in movies that can ward off evil spirits, such as glutinous rice, black dog blood, rooster blood, cock crows, etc. useful?"
"Yes, I can tell you these things are useful."
"But why? They are just very ordinary things."
Zhang Chengdao said leisurely: "Because the people think they are useful."
! ! ! !
As if a bolt of lightning flashed through his heart, Zhang Xiao stopped and looked at Zhang Chengdao in horror. His father's words still continued:
“They work because these things are more of a symbolism.
People think they can ward off evil spirits, and they can ward off evil spirits. "
Zhang Xiao came to the palace of thinking almost subconsciously. Countless tiny points of light swarmed in from all directions, forming a brand new book.
The book was blurry, as if it might disappear at any time.
At this moment, the "Uncursed" book, which had almost no longer emitted the power of distortion, flew over and slowly corresponded to the book. The two sides actually vibrated rhythmically.
It's like the curse is instilling something.
Zhang Xiao's thoughts are also spreading, and countless ideas are emerging and shattered.
If people think these things are useful, they are really useful.
What's this? Group consciousness? Groupthink?
"Hey, you actually have such a nice place here?"
Zhang Xiao was startled, but found that his father had also arrived at the thinking cabin at some point, and was looking at the environment of the thinking cabin with interest.
He smiled and waved towards Zhang Xiao:
"Seeing that you were suddenly distracted and suddenly stood still, I thought something had happened to you, so I hurriedly came to take a look.
Then I found this place. "
Although it was only for a short while, Zhang Chengdao had obviously seen the role of this place, and said in wonder:
"Magic is indeed a very magical thing. It can actually build such an exquisite place. It is similar to our spiritual platform."
Zhang Xiao dismissed the thinking cabin and looked at Zhang Chengdao. Just now, what he learned from the West collided fiercely with Eastern thoughts.
Countless thoughts arose, even making his heart beat fast:
"Dad, if people think they are useful, then use them."
Zhang Chengdao seemed to have guessed what his son wanted to say. He nodded:
"Yes, so do you know how ghosts come from?"
Ghost. Zhang Xiao said with difficulty: "Ghosts are also considered talented by people?"
But this is wrong. Ghosts are transformed from souls, and souls are inherently possessed by humans. How does this have anything to do with people’s beliefs?
“Even if you miss, it’s not far off.
But in fact, the souls of ordinary people cannot turn into ghosts nowadays. There is only one kind that can turn into ghosts.
That is the ‘Spirit Son’.
Ordinary people think that if a person dies miserably, has resentment, wears red clothes, and all the other conditions for becoming a ghost, if the spirit child meets the requirements, he will become a so-called 'ghost'.
Just like what he did, he tried every means to torture Leng Qianyu and let her watch her body being controlled by those men who were 'lustful'
Another example is watching your brother starve to death.
Leng Qianyu is actually crazy. Only when she is crazy enough and becomes a ghost can she gain stronger power. "
Zhang Guangzheng snorted coldly without refuting. He actually didn't understand what Zhang Chengdao was talking about. Those 'ancient' inheritances are actually no longer applicable today.
Besides, how ancient is this so-called "ancient times" is still a question mark.
So these basic knowledge are missing, otherwise there would not be such a joke as the imaginary "cultivation world can improve cultivation by taking pills and sleeping".
Zhang Chengdao continued:
"Looking at the whole world, even in history, there has never been a country or a nation with such a huge and unified basic concept, whether from south to north or from east to west.
Everyone basically has similar and consistent views on strange powers.
The population of China has been large since ancient times. Do you know how many legends of gods and ghosts can be created by such a highly unified view?
Countless!"
"But in fact, ordinary people only hear about it, and few people really encounter these gods and ghosts."
Zhang Xiao raised his own question. In fact, whether in the previous life or this life, legends of gods and ghosts are everywhere, and you can definitely find friends around you who swear to have encountered strange stories.
But in fact.
Zhang Chengdao was silent for a while, looked up at the sky, and the cool breeze of the summer night blew past, blowing the long hair in front of his forehead.
The stars on the night sky twinkle, and the bright galaxy has a kind of magnificence that makes people can't help but be in awe.
"That's because [Heaven]. From ancient times to the present, [Heaven] has been suppressing all the demons and monsters in China."
He looked at Zhang Xiao and answered Zhang Xiao's previous question with a new question.
"If the cognition of ordinary people has such a strong influence, then what about the spirits that are far beyond ordinary people?"
Those vaguely wrong places were strung together again, and Zhang Xiao felt that he was one step closer to the truth of this world.
So that's it
The understanding of magic from the West is colliding fiercely with the East.
If magic is a wizard using his will to distort reality.
I am undoubtedly a spirit, and in the West I am a wizard with magical talent.
What wizards can do, spirits can also do.
If the number of spirits increases. It can distort reality by itself, so if there are more spirits
Zhang Xiao couldn't help but shudder, I'm afraid [Heaven] can't suppress it either?
This world is full of weirdness, and demons and monsters are causing trouble for the world?
"I understand."
Zhang Chengdao continued:
"There are about 20,000 people in our Taoist sect, plus other sects such as Buddhism, the total number does not exceed 50,000, which is also the number red line for [Heaven] to maximize the suppression effect.
Exceeding this red line, [Heaven] will start to struggle."
"Hmph, after saying so much, isn't it still you self-proclaimed righteous trash who hold the qualifications for cultivation.
Aren't your children still from Longhu Mountain?
Even if the position of Heavenly Master is not hereditary, it will only be rotated among your families, right?
I have long seen clearly that you people are extremely hypocritical, sanctimonious, and like to use justice to show off yourselves.
When I see this face, I-"
"Xiaoxiao, so sometimes your ancestors will help you solve many problems." Zhang Chengdao ignored Zhang Guangzheng's clamor.
"It is said that when Longhu Mountain was founded, the ancestors left something behind.
Every spirit child will be noticed by it when it is born.
After calculating the eight characters, if there is a destiny of immortality, it will be recorded.
Every year when the mountain is opened to recruit disciples, it will show the name on the Immortal Ascension List. Only if the name and eight characters are on the Immortal Ascension List can they be admitted to the mountain gate.
In other words, if the eight characters cannot be calculated, even the children of the Heavenly Master cannot enter the mountain gate to practice Taoism.
And Xiaoxiao, your name has been shining at the top of the Immortal Ascension List since the moment you were born."
Zhang Guangzheng suddenly choked and stopped talking. All the insults before turned into slaps, slapping his face one by one.
"The thing left by the ancestors is called - the Jade Disc of Creation."

So far, in this chapter, the core of the East and the West have reached a practical unity, that is, all of them are included in the world view of hp, which is also something that can be explained by the theory of the original work.
I have completed my original idea of completing the hp world, but it is only half completed. There are still more things to come, and I plan to fill them in bit by bit.
