Start with global travel

After a long time, when they saw two figures trotting over from the depths of the village, their spirits were lifted.

Of the two people who came running, one of them was dressed similarly to them. He looked simple and dignified. He was over 50 years old, but at the moment he ran like a young man full of energy.

This is the headmaster of the newly built school next door. Apart from his poor talent in cultivation and his qi training so far, he is a very rare talent in every aspect. If not for this, it would be impossible for him to Come here as a principal.

And the other one next to him is in his 30s, dressed like the villagers, and has a calm and simple temperament. He is a native of the village and is now the leader of the village.

Originally, the higher authorities wanted to appoint a more mature and prudent person to be the village chief, but in the end it fell on him. Apart from the advantage of being born and bred, the secret is that he is "practical and energetic".

The two were not dissatisfied with the fact that they had been away for so long, but had some vague expectations, because according to the usual practice, they left and returned very quickly, which could only mean one thing - they did not even meet Li Laozu in person. was driven back.

And the longer they went, it meant that they had struck up a conversation with Li Laozu. After so many years, they had already figured out Li Laozu's temper. A bad nose, on the contrary, is some things that are not so serious in their eyes, which will arouse her interest. However, it is not just any "non-serious things" that can bother her. The meaning cannot be expressed in words, which is also an important reason why they strictly ordered the people below not to come here without authorization.

And the official reason for their coming this time was to give away tickets to watch this year's league final live.

If it's just that, of course it's nothing special, after all, they have tried this method before, and Li Ancestor was not interested in it.

But this time is different, in addition to the final, there is also a friendly match.

The Zifu Realm champion team born in the final will play a match against the Purple Mansion Realm champion team sent by Hongdu.

In fact, they don't know what's so special about it... Uh, if it's really special, they also know that this game mode that is gradually becoming popular in Yanxia was originally born in Hongdu. Is there any special attraction?

However, no matter what they thought in their hearts, this news was revealed in a semi-public manner from the relevant departments of the Vice Capital, and they all remembered the inscrutable expression on the face of the person who sent the message: "Go and try Just try it."

Therefore, they all had more expectations for this invitation.

When the two trotted back, one of them stood in the middle of the front of the line and immediately asked, "What did Patriarch Li say?"

The young village chief didn't speak, but turned to look at the principal next to him.

The headmaster shook his head and said, "We haven't seen Patriarch Li."

Everyone who had accumulated more and more expectations because of their long absence felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on their heads.

From anticipation to sobriety, the huge gap made them feel dissatisfied, and of course this dissatisfaction could not be directed at Patriarch Li, and naturally all of them were condensed on the two people in front of them.

The person who asked the question kept his identity and didn't get angry immediately, but someone jumped out beside him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Since that's the case, why have you been here for so long? This village is only a few steps away?!"

The principal didn't change his face, and said: "Because we went to Jigongshan Temple not far from here."

The man was even angrier when he heard the words. He didn't even know where the Laoshizi Jigongshan Temple was, so he pointed at the principal's nose and scolded, "Do you know what's important? Do you want so many of us to wait?" Did you go to Laoshizi Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha before returning home?!"

However, before he could utter these words, he was stopped by the first middle-aged man who came out to ask questions with a wave. His emotions had calmed down, and he explained to others: "Principal Zheng is not a reckless person." , there is a reason to go this trip."

Then, he looked at Principal Zheng and asked, "What are you doing there?"

Principal Zheng replied calmly: "Because I heard from the neighbors of Li Laozu's family that a great mage who had placed orders in this temple for a long time was about to pass away. I thought it was not far away anyway, so I went to confirm it myself."

Having said that, he paused, his expression became very solemn and said:

"I've already confirmed this matter. I think we can't just leave now. If possible, it's better for everyone to wait for the great mage to pass away and go to the temple to pay his respects before leaving.

Even if someone has an urgent matter and cannot stay for a long time, it is best for us to leave some influential people here to preside over the matter. "

Because of Yanxia Center's consistent attitude towards Buddhism and Taoism, the biggest role of Buddhist temples is to fill the spiritual world of ordinary people at the grassroots level. There is no complete power system, and the only thing worthy of praise is its role in spiritual cultivation and merit accumulation.

However, to show the true power of all these, we have to wait for them to die. However, according to Yan Xia's long-standing tradition, people belong to people, and ghosts belong to ghosts. It's just a bald donkey with no strength to restrain a chicken, and it really doesn't match them at all after they die.

In addition, the Yanxia officials are more cautious and sensitive to issues involving Buddhism and Taoism. It will not do any good for so many of them to "burn the cold stove" for a great mage who is about to pass away.

What's more, their purpose here is Patriarch Li, so what does it have to do with an old monk who is about to die? !

Because of his "inexplicable" suggestion, the brows of the waiting crowd couldn't help but tightened even more, but they didn't speak rashly. Instead, the middle-aged man who led him pondered for a moment, and said in a tone of asking for advice:

"Is there anything to say here? What does it have to do with Li Patriarch?"

Principal Zheng looked at the village head next to him who was pursing his lips tightly and said nothing, and cursed cunningly in his heart, and said:

"I'm also an outsider, and the village head knows this best... At first, I thought that Li Laozu stayed here for a long time because it was her hometown, but I gradually realized that this may be one of the reasons." , a more important reason is that the Great Master is right next to Jigongshan Temple.”

"hiss……"

"how can that be?"

"Does she have any special relationship with this archmage?"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help pinching their teeth, and some people looked at him directly with suspicion and disbelief.

Principal Zheng asked: "Based on your experience, how long can an archmage without any power live at most?"

The others didn't answer, and the leading middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "The practice of the great mage in terms of xinxing is indeed unique. If he does a good job of keeping in good health, he might be able to live to two years old, right?"

Principal Zheng said: "And I said that this archmage has already survived the third Jiazi, and is now sprinting towards the fourth Jiazi."

There was another sound of gasping for air.

However, some people showed their eyes and said, "Is this an extraordinary method?"

The eyes of other people also showed thoughtful looks, this is something strictly prohibited by Yanxia Center and Yanxia Divine Dao!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Before the great ascension, because it was foreseen that this move would have a profound impact on the Blue Star Master World, from top to bottom, as long as anyone who knew the inside story, from the official to the private, various discussions never stopped for a moment.

And the Yanxia Center also had a heated debate on several issues, and even at the moment when the Great Ascension came, this debate was still going on.

One of the problems is Yanxia Shinto.

The essence of Yanxia Shinto is the manifestation of a certain power of Yanxia Humanity, and the development of Yanxia Shinto progresses with the overall progress of Yanxia Humanity.

The two are actually one in two, two in one.

As long as Yanxia's human way doesn't stop, Yanxia's divine way will not stop either.

After 200 years of continuous improvement and operation, coupled with the special rule of "man-made natural legislation" in this world, the Yanxia Shinto has grown too much when it was first established by Jiang Buku. From a "blank" Gradually grow into a "device".

Moreover, with the joint "polishing" of countless participants, the jerky aura gradually disappeared, and it became more and more natural-the rules of this world should be born with the Yanxia Shinto, and the Yanxia Shinto, it should look like this .

In addition, the growth of individual practice is limited by the limit of the world, and because the Shinto gods are more compatible with the world, the "binding" is deeper. If necessary, they can use the power of the world as their own power, and the limit bursts out, and the combat power steadily exceeds the limit. Individual limit output.

However, due to this feature, the Shinto deities are much less flexible. They can only be tyrannical within the designated area, and they will be blinded if they go beyond this area.

In addition, there are only a few gods whose power reaches this level, and most of them are at the level of Nascent Soul Realm or even Golden Core level.

However, the number of Yuanying and Yuanshen cultivators has entered the era of hundreds of millions, far exceeding the number of gods at the same level.

On the one hand, the number is large and the top combat power is not weak. On the other hand, the number is relatively stable and there are many restrictions, but the power of a few top powerhouses completely defeats the other side. This has reached a delicate balance.

These were originally the two legs Yanxia installed after countless times of careful fine-tuning, one for attacking and the other for defending.

And with Yan Xia's status in Blue Star, since these two legs were installed by Yan Xia, they were also installed by Blue Star.

But with the arrival of the Great Ascension Project, Yan Xia became lame.

Since then, the strongest strength of practitioners in the Blue Star can only be the Golden Core Realm, but the gods cannot go because of their particularity, and the Ascension Plan has never included them.

Originally, Shinto and Immortal Dao were big at both ends, and since then, the Shinto family has dominated. This is already an objective fact in front of All Blue Star in the post-ascension era.

As a result, two diametrically opposed theories emerged.

Since the Shinto family dominates, and the essence of Shinto is also humane, everyone is a family, so let's be more straightforward. Originally, the gods don't care about the affairs of the world, so now add a burden to them and take care of this mess .

For the gods, there is no such thing as being unable to control them. As long as the gods are immortal, they will always be full of energy, but they cannot let the gods become officials in the world in one step. "This kind of "Guest Consultant" participated in it.

The benefits are too many to count, and the point that hit the hearts of the people most at the time was that as long as this direction was established, there would be no worries about the stability of the blue star's current structure after the ascension of cultivators above the Nascent Soul Realm.

Mountains have mountain gods, waters have water gods, cities have city gods, and villages have land. It is impossible to succeed in making troubles during the window period-even when they have not yet started to act, but when they are just thinking about it, they have exposed everything.

There are very few fans of this view in Yanxia territory. The people who really voted here with their feet were the people from the camp of the Three True Gods.

And another point of view that is tit for tat is that before this, although the gods were also subject to many restrictions, it was common for them to have a dream occasionally, and hang out with friends and relatives who were pleasing to the eye or familiar with each other. Without interfering with the operation of the human world, the actions of the gods are relatively free.

But after that, it is necessary to strictly implement "returning what is human to human, and what is god to God."

The Yanxia Shinto system must have stricter self-control and self-management, not to mention a complete ban on contact with the world, but all contacts must go through strict procedures and cannot communicate privately.

As for the other party's question "If there is no powerful god in charge, what should we do if there is a large-scale commotion after everyone ascends and leaves", they don't even bother to make positive comments.

As for the reason, there is only one reason: the deeper Shinto participates in the human world, the more it will limit the development of humanity itself.

With the in-depth participation of Shinto, it may make the entire Blue Star more harmonious and easier to manage, but the essence of Shinto is humanity, and directly using Shinto to manage humanity is like an endless loop of swallowing snakes, like a perpetual motion machine , but when the ring was formed, any possibility of change and increment was rejected.

This debate was directly "updated to the heavens", and the Yanxia Shenlong came forward to settle the issue and established the basic global pattern of the post-ascension era.

Since then, the gods seem to have disappeared in the hot summer. As for the foundation of the Shinto system, the incense sacrifice has become a special sacrificial ceremony. It is a private sacrifice at home. Anyone who worships is fine, but public sacrifices are performed outside. The objects of public sacrifices must be formal and legal, plus various other regulations, so as to ensure that the foundation of the divine way is not chaotic, and the gods themselves have begun to be further weakened.

But this fading doesn't mean completely disappearing. When necessary, the gods will appear immediately. This is an invisible sharp sword hanging above the head and falling down at any time.

For example, the occurrence of severe and tragic accidents caused by man-made or accidental;

For example, early warning of natural disasters such as mountain torrents and earthquakes;

For example, someone violated the Shinto prohibition.

The content of the Shinto prohibition is not much, it is very simple.

One of them is that it is strictly forbidden for practitioners or others to increase a person's life span in an unnatural way.

This prohibition is actually somewhat in conflict with the simple emotions of people.

Many people who have embarked on the road of spiritual practice, seeing their parents and family members who are getting old and dying step by step, can't help but want to do something.

But because of this ban, what they can do is very limited.

In this regard, the Shinto Division also explained, saying that these methods have basically overdrawn the spirituality of life. Anyone who uses these methods, when they die, will either become an incomplete disabled ghost, or become a demented fool. Or you don't even have to do ghosts, just dissipate in place.

For Yanxia Humanity, this is poaching.

Even if you say "I do", it won't work.

The current law prohibits the individual's complete disposal of his body, and the Shinto prohibition further prohibits the individual's complete disposal of his soul.

Because of the promulgation of the Shinto ban, there was such a joke inside Yanxia: "If you want to trade your soul to the devil, then, congratulations, this transaction is doomed to fail, and your soul will be taken care of right before the transaction is successful." Handle it very, very properly!"

At the very beginning, everyone immediately thought of this after hearing Principal Zheng's words.

But soon, they became suspicious.

They believed that even if Old Ancestor Li was supernaturally powerful, he would not dare to violate the divine prohibition endorsed by the Yanxia Shenlong.

However, according to their understanding, there are really not many ways for ordinary people to increase their lifespan, and the effects are very limited. It is absolutely impossible for an ordinary person who can only live for two years at most to achieve a lifespan comparable to that of a foundation-building monk.

Everyone looked at Principal Zheng suspiciously.

Principal Zheng smiled and said:

"Have you forgotten that Old Ancestor Li was the first person to clearly put forward the concept of primordial spirit good fortune!

Now it is applied to all aspects of spiritual stimulation, and she is also the pioneer.

Others may not be able to use a 'natural' way to tell a person whose life span is at its limit to be raised, but for her, it's not that difficult.

However, with her ability, she has reached the limit of her limit. According to the information we have inquired this time, that archmage really can't hold on anymore. "

At this moment, all the faces of the waiting crowd were radiant.

"Let's go, let's go visit the Archmage!"

……

At this moment, it is at Jigongshan Temple not far from here.

Originally, because of the new building materials that have not been baptized by time and Buddhism, it looks more like a park for leisure and play than a temple, but now, after more than a hundred years of precipitation, it really reveals tranquility Elegant meaning.

At this moment, compared with other times, the atmosphere of the temple is quieter. Occasionally, monks pass by, but they bow their heads in silence, but they don't look too sad. In their realm, although they can't regard birth, old age, sickness and death as ordinary things, they can also It is clear that this is an inevitable experience in every life.

What is born is what dies, like a flower blooming and withering, you can be sad when the flower withers, but you don't have to be overly sentimental.

In a quiet meditation room.

An old man with a hunchback and withered figure to the extreme, not so much a living person, more like a mummified corpse sitting cross-legged on the bed.

In his deeply sunken eye sockets, there is a pair of black and white, innocent eyes like a child.

He didn't feel distressed and sad about dying at all, but his eyes showed a little helplessness. Looking at the girl who was still "pointing" at him stubbornly, he opened his mouth slowly and said in an extremely hoarse voice:

"I can't help it, I've reached the limit, don't try again...you'd better let me go."

Li Xiaoxiao stared dissatisfiedly and said:

"When you talk about the limit, you have reached the limit? I clearly feel that there are still some stubborn vitality lurking deep in your spinal cord and brain. If you can stimulate them all, I promise you will live at least another year!"

The old monk smiled bitterly in his heart, he really wanted to say, I don't need it.

It's a pity that he has said this a few times, but Li Xiaoxiao has always gone her own way, especially in this regard, and never listens to his opinions.
