According to what my senior disciple said, some monks have a pure heart towards the Tao, but they have big problems with their morality.

A person who is bloodthirsty and cruel, who deceives his teachers and destroys his ancestors, and is ruthless. If such a person becomes a member of the Shangqing lineage, it will only endanger his Shangqing lineage and will not produce any benefit.

"You are right. This point must be changed in the future."

Zhao Gongming nodded, "My disciple suggested that in addition to the White Jade Ladder, a Heart Refining Formation and a Heavenly Illusion Formation could be added."

"Among them, the white jade heavenly ladder can test the monks' devotion to Taoism, the heart-refining formation can test whether the monks' Taoist hearts are pure, and the heavenly illusion formation can test the monks' conduct."

"The three tests must be passed at the same time before you can become a disciple of my Shangqing lineage. In this way, the disciples you accept should have almost the same moral character."

Zhao Gongming's words made Tongtian nod his head frequently.

"Okay, I will refine the formation immediately, and then I will arrange it at the foot of Kunlun Mountain."

After Tongtian finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face.

"This is the first method. What is the second method you mentioned? Please tell me."

Zhao Gongming smiled and said, "The first method is for the outside, and the second method is for the inside!"

"How to target the inside?"

Ever since I heard Zhao Gongming say that if the disciples of the Shangqing lineage continue to behave like this, great harm will occur.

Even Tongtian couldn't help but worry about the future of his family's orthodoxy.

Zhao Gongming said seriously, "Without rules, there is no circle. Clan has clan rules, religion has teachings. There are three talents between heaven and earth. The three talents divide heaven, earth, and people. There are heaven, earth, and humanity. It is precisely because of the rules and laws. With existence, everything can develop in order and on track.”

"Now that Master has opened the mountain to recruit disciples several times, there are already three to four hundred disciples of my Shangqing lineage, and there will be more in the future. A set of careful, complete, and strict rules should be formulated to restrain them."

"Once someone violates the canon rules, he will be punished at the least, and at the most serious, he will be expelled from the school. In the worst case, he will be beaten to ashes with murderous intent!"

When Zhao Gongming spoke, his eyes were bright and shining with brilliance.

Most of the immortals of the Shangqing lineage were born halfway. They were free-spirited and free-spirited, and only strict religious rules could restrain them.

Let them be content and keep to themselves. Only in this way can the Shangqing lineage become more prosperous.

Hearing this, Tongtian pondered for a moment. At this stage of the prehistoric period, religious rules were not very popular.

The monks pursue the freedom of the road, come and go like the wind, and be carefree.

Even Yuanshi, who was relatively strict with his disciples, did not set any rules and allowed his disciples to develop.

After Tongtian feared that he would set strict religious rules, the ancient monks were intimidated and refused to join his lineage.

But soon, Tongtian remembered what Zhao Gongming said in Shangqing Square.

The disciples do not practice virtue, but drink blood like hair, and commit endless evils. One day, they will bring great disaster to the Shangqing lineage.

Tongtian thought for a while and finally decided to try it first to see if the canon worked well.

"You are right. Now that the number of disciples of my Shangqing lineage is increasing day by day, it is time to establish some rules. In that case, I will leave it to you as my master."

Zhao Gongming was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled bitterly.

"Master, I have just come back. Please assign tasks to me. I want to take a good rest."

Tong Tian glared, "Why are you taking a break? Go out for a trip. Your cultivation level is only one step away from Daluo Jinxian. What else is there to be dissatisfied about? Let's do this. I won't force you to be a teacher. In your Nuwa teacher How about you clear up the rules before uncle preaches?"

Zhao Gongming said dejectedly, "Disciple, I have been ordered to follow the rules of our Shangqing lineage before Master Nuwa preaches."

In fact, Zhao Gongming is not panic at all. For other disciples of the Shangqing lineage, compiling a systematic set of canons may be very difficult and troublesome.

But for Zhao Gongming, who has been influenced by later generations' culture, it is not difficult.

Tongtian waved his hand and said, "You have traveled a long time in ancient times. Your three sisters wanted to go down the mountain to find you several times. If I hadn't stopped them, they would have gone down to find you. But when you come back this time, You have to spend time with them."

"The disciple understands."

Zhao Gongming nodded seriously. He really missed Sanxiao after not seeing her for such a long time.

"Okay, step back first. After you compile the canon, remember to come and let me take a look."

Although Tongtian wanted to try something new, he still had to check it himself before he could rest assured.

"Yes, after you finish it, you must present it to Master as soon as possible for Master to see."

After Zhao Gongming finished speaking, he was about to retreat when he suddenly said, "Disciple, there is one more thing that I want to report to Master."

"what's up?"

"This disciple traveled to the ancient world and also accepted a disciple."

"Oh? You actually accepted a disciple? What is that person's background? Can he be firm in his pursuit of the Tao?"

Tongtian suddenly became interested and felt very happy at the same time.

From the time he accepted his disciples to now, it has been less than 10,000 years.

Unexpectedly, he, Tongtian, would have a third-generation disciple so soon, surpassing his elder brother Taiqing and Yuqing.

"You are also familiar with this person. He is the six-eared macaque who overheard Taoist ancestor's sermon when he was preaching in Zixiao Palace."

"Six-eared macaque? Do you know that the Dharma does not spread to six ears?"

Tongtian's face suddenly turned serious.

Zhao Gongming smiled and said, "Master, please don't scare the disciples. The Dharma is not taught to Liu Er. Who among the three thousand powerful masters in Zixiao Palace doesn't know the true meaning of this sentence? That is, the little monkey Liu Er was kept in the dark." I just don’t know the true meaning.”

"I didn't expect that you even know all this. I can't hide it from you as a teacher."

Tongtian couldn't help but be stunned, and then nodded, expressing his affirmation of the six-eared macaque.

"That six-eared macaque has extraordinary heels. He was young, didn't know the heights of the world, and was only a mere immortal. He actually dared to eavesdrop on Daozu's sermon. I guess now he understands Daozu's painstaking efforts back then."

"Where is that monkey? As the third generation disciple of my Shangqing lineage and the ancestor, I must give him a greeting gift."

"Just outside the hall, Master, wait a moment, I'll call Liu Er in."

Zhao Gongming turned into a breeze and flew outside the Shangqing Palace, and soon flew back with Liu Er.

Since Liu'er became his disciple, he has received the inheritance of the Chaos Demon Ape, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

Now that he has reached the peak of Xuanxian's strength, he is only one step away from becoming the Five Qi and becoming a Golden Immortal.

Although Liu Er's current strength is not that good, you must know that when Zhao Gongming met Liu Er, Liu Er was not at the peak of the Earth Immortal.

To be able to soar to such a point in such a short period of time, this speed has even surpassed Sanxiao!

Liu Er was wearing a simple Taoist robe, and his aura was restrained and deep, with the aura of Yue Zhi Yuanting.

But at this time, in front of Tongtian, he was full of excitement, his wrists trembled slightly, and he said respectfully to Tongtian, "Disciple Sun Liu'er, pay homage to Patriarch Tongtian."

"Ah."

Tongtian nodded slightly and looked Liu Er up and down.

"Yes, I still remember your recklessness in Zixiao Palace. I didn't expect that so many years would pass in the blink of an eye."

Liu'er's face was full of shame, "This disciple was young and young, and he did a big stupid thing. If Taoist ancestors hadn't woken him up, I would have died long ago."

Tongtian waved his hand, "Let's not talk about that anymore. Since you have joined my Shangqing lineage, from now on, you will be a disciple of my Shangqing lineage. Looking at the whole world, no one in the nine heavens and ten earths will dare to look down on you."
